Chapter 166: Materia Medica, Buddhism, and Methods
In this way, Shennong tasted the herbs for several years, did not encounter a plant of herbs that he did not know, he would go up to try it, see if it was poisonous or not, and record them, and then at night he would take those poisonous herbs to test the intensity of its toxicity, slowly Shennong found that all kinds of poisons have the attributes of the five elements, and some powerful poisons are mixed with several kinds of five elements of power, so the toxicity is violent, Shennong observes its cold, warm, peaceful, and hot nature, and distinguishes its king, minister, Zuo, and makes it righteous, and slowly it can be used to detoxify, and it can also be cured.
One day Shennong found a vine-like plant with small yellow flowers in the crack of the stone, Shennong whipped it with ochre and found that it contained highly poisonous, so he ate the flowers and stems into the stomach, not long after, he felt the stomach hurt his heart, as if the intestines were broken, and quickly worked hard to resolve the poison, and after a while Shennong got up and wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Fortunately, I have the Taoist protection passed down by the teacher, otherwise I will die here, I must write down this grass and tell the people, so as not to eat it by mistake and die." This kind of grass hurts in the stomach when you eat it, as if the intestines have been broken, so it is called 'broken intestine grass'."
After decades of debate, Shennong discovered that licorice can treat cough, rhubarb can treat constipation, yellow lotus can reduce swelling, and so on. He found another green-leafed ground wood leaf. Eating it can cure all kinds of poisons. It's called checking. It also makes tea. Shennong was poisoned more than 70 times a day. All rely on tea to detoxify.
With the tea, with the help of the whip, the process of Shennong tasting the herbs became relatively easy. During the day, he tasted a hundred herbs on Shennong Mountain, and at night, he built a bonfire, and recorded in detail the characteristics of the species he tried by the light of the fire: which grasses are bitter, which ones are hot, which ones are cold, which ones can satisfy hunger, and which ones can heal diseases, all of which are clearly written. Shennong spread his own medicine scripture among the human race, and the human race remembered Shennong's kindness and named the medicine scripture written by Shennong "Shennong's Materia Medica".
In the book, the common things and uncommon things in the flood are written into the book one by one. It's just that Shennong got the panda's guidance in advance, and wrote down the saying that it is three parts of poison before the medicine scripture, which is well known in later generations of medicine.
After Shennong wrote the Book of Medicine, he began to study pharmacology to cure the diseases of the human race. There are so many people in the human race, although there are not as many diseases as in later generations, but there are many people who come to see a doctor every day. Shennong also taught this medicine scripture to the human race, so that people could know the medicinal properties and effects of all things. Some people learned a lot of medical theories from Shennong, so they began to learn from Shennong to walk around the human race and treat people's diseases. These are the earliest You Fang Langzhong.
After decades of painstaking research, Shennong painstakingly wrote the "Shennong's Materia Medica". "Shennong's Materia Medica" is the culmination of Shennong's lifelong learning, expounding the classification of the three products of drugs and their performance significance, the status and role of drugs in the compatibility of prescriptions, the combination of yin and yang, the harmony of seven feelings, the four qi (cold, hot, warm, cool) and five flavors (bitter, sweet, sour, bitter and salty), toxic and non-toxic, the collection of drugs, the decoction method of drugs, and the relationship between drugs and disease syndromes.
The book shook the heavens and the earth. Descend immeasurable merits, and the first half of the "Shennong Materia Medica" handed down by Shennong, spread among the human race, the human race got the help of this book, the number of dead and injured people was greatly reduced, and the life span of the human race began to be extended with this book, which is very beneficial to all people, with the "Shennong Materia Medica" handed down, Shennong's merits are also increasing day by day, and it is more than the ups and downs.
Not to mention the immeasurable merits of the Shennong clan, but it is said that Shennong left the capital of the human race Chen Du, and went deep into the flood and desolation continent in order to be able to understand the flood and wilderness in order to find a way to cure the disease, but he forgot that his only daughter's name was still in Chen Du, although the daughter of the human emperor, but the human race had heavy affairs at that time, and the disaster of the disease had not been solved, and the mother of the female baby had passed away for many years, so the female baby stayed alone in Chen Du.
On this day, when the girl played in Chen Du for a long time, she felt extremely bored, and suddenly saw a fat and hairless person, telling a story in the crowd, but it was the East China Sea fairyland, the beauty of the abbot's fairyland, the no-return Taoist is the holy master of the human race, and the abbot's fairyland has always been listed as the three holy places of the human race with the eight views of Shouyang Mountain and the Fengqi Mountain Wa Palaceใ
Even though he used the spell taught by Shennong to fly to the East China Sea, he never saw that when the girl left, the fat and hairless man flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes.
But it is said that the girl went all the way to the East China Sea, in the East China Sea Crystal Palace, but there was a person who was upset and irritable, but it was Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, this Ao Bing is the third son of the new Dragon King, and has always been pampered and arrogant.
Ao Bing's temper is not good, and the water tribes under his seat naturally can't please him, and he is about to be reprimanded by Ao Bing, but the patrol Yaksha Li Gen rolled his eyes, had an idea, and stepped forward and said: "Third prince, when the little one was cruising the sea, he found that a little girl was flying over the East China Sea, with a pungent smell of medicine on her body, maybe it was the smell of medicine on this girl's body that spread into our East China Sea, which made the third prince unhappy with your old man." โ
Hearing this, Ao Bing's temper was really displeased, he stood up suddenly, and scolded angrily, "At the beginning, this human race, if it wasn't for the support of my dragon clan, would have been wiped out by the demon clan a long time ago. โ
Saying that, Ao Bing took a group of water tribes to the sea, but said that the East China Sea is so vast, although the girl is blessed, in the end she is just a little girl, her mana is low, and her flight speed is extremely slow, and now, even the edge of the abbot's fairyland is still millions of miles away.
was flying, and suddenly saw the waves of the East China Sea rolling, and the wind roaring. The girl knew that this was created by a certain creature in the East China Sea, and immediately became vigilant, and suddenly saw the East China Sea sea rolling, from which a green dragon appeared, and the girl saw that the person who came was a green dragon, and immediately descended the clouds, and the girl was the daughter of the human emperor, and naturally knew that the human race suffered in the past, thanks to the dragon sacrifice to save each other, so the human race in later generations, also known as the descendants of the dragon, is to the female baby to the dragon family is also quite good.
