Chapter 556: Shennong
The Flood Desolate Land Realm, because of the Blazing Sun, destroyed everything in the major continents of the Flood Desolation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And after Lao Tzu cast a spell to restore the landform, the flood began to show the ancient landform. All the plants are growing again.
Grains and weeds are indistinguishable, elixirs and flowers coexist, and the descendants of the human race are insufficient, there is no exact inheritance, only know the superficial collection of wild fruits to eat, but has not yet developed to the agricultural civilization, as for the medicine, only know a few.
For most plants, flowers and plants, I don't know which ones can be eaten, which ones can be used in medicine, and which ones are poisonous, and even most herbs are harmful to the human race, so that the human race does not dare to feed on plants on a large scale like cattle and horses.
After the main means of feeding for thousands of years were hunting, raising livestock, fishing and picking wild fruits, the human population developed rapidly under the governance of the Holy King of Fuxi. However, when Fuxi and Nuwa, the two sages of the human race, died, and their only descendant, Concubine Mi, had no intention of taking charge of the human race and cultivating immortals, the human race once again fell into a state of fragmentation.
Because after the Holy King Fuxi, there was no human king in the human race who could convince the entire human race, and this situation has lasted for more than two thousand years.
In the past two thousand years, the human race has vigorously developed animal husbandry, because most of the water and grass in the flood barren land are abundant, so most of the human tribes are herdsmen who mainly focus on animal husbandry and combine agriculture and animal husbandry, and settle in a place rich in resources and simply plant some grass that livestock loves to eat.
In a small number of places where the environment is a little harsh, the human tribes there have been transformed into nomadic tribes, relying on the weather for food, and moving to where the water and grass are abundant, and when the weather is bad, they will move to the location.
At this time, because of the reproduction of the population and the survival of their own tribes, the human race often carried out tribal struggles because of the abundance of water and grass, although it was not a big struggle, but at this time the human race exceeded 10 billion, which was not known to increase many times compared with the period of the Rising and Falling Xi Shengwang.
Moreover, with the increase in the number of tribes in possession of large property, the initial private ownership began to appear, and the leaders of some tribes also began to appear in the form of father-to-son succession, and the primitive class of human tribes began to appear.
There are many small tribes living near Jiangshui, a tributary of the Weishui River, which are all tribes that settle in Jiangshui, mainly raising livestock in captivity, supplemented by collecting wild fruits. And there is a tribe among them, with ginger as the surname.
In this tribe surnamed Jiang, there is a woman named Ren Ji, who induced and gave birth to a magical child, named Lieshan, which can be described as sacred and bizarre.
The appearance of this son is very peculiar, the human body is bull's head, but the supernatural child will be loved by the clan, especially with the example of Fuxi, the holy king, so Lieshan was born without any abuse.
Lieshan was three years old, and when he grew up, he was eight feet seven inches tall, with a dragon face and big lips, a thin body, and his body was transparent except for his limbs and head. He has a natural affinity for plants and loves a variety of herbs and grains.
In this Jiangshui Basin, many tribes began to fight because of the competition for water resources, and the tribe surnamed Jiang often had people injured or even killed because of the fighting.
Lieshan Shen did not fight, believing that the casualties and fights among the tribesmen were due to insufficient food, and he wanted to heal the wounded people. So he plans to follow the example of his ancestors and develop new resources for the entire Terran to use to quench the war.
Because the Ku Xi clan developed livestock to seek food for the human race, and in the past two thousand years, there have been human tribes domesticating wild beasts, so the development effect in this area is not great. And because he liked to be close to flowers and plants since he was a child, he saw that cattle and sheep and other poultry fed on all kinds of flowers and plants, so the Lieshan clan was ready to find plants for the human race to eat.
The collection of the human race is to feed on plants such as grass fruits, but it is a pity that these wild fruits are difficult to grow on a large scale, not only the growth cycle of fruit trees is long, but also the yield after maturity is not large, which is difficult to meet the needs of the human race.
Lieshan was born with a crystal belly, so transparent that even the internal organs can be seen clearly, and any flower, plant and fruit can be eaten to observe their effect in the stomach. It was because of this miraculous belly that Lieshan began to travel around, tasting herbs to select herbs that could heal the Terrans and plants that served as staple food for the Terrans.
When he first started his travels, Lieshan often ate poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers that were harmful to humans, but he had a miraculous physique, although these herbs were harmful to him, and even had a terrifying record of seventy poisons in a day. But he survived with his strong physique.
Through the observation of these poisonous weeds, he learned in detail about their pharmacology and the phenomena after eating, so he recorded them and used them to warn the human race.
After decades of traveling around the world, the reputation of the virtuous people of Lieshan spread throughout the human race, and because of years of exploration of grasses, he found several kinds of grasses that can be used as the staple food of humans, and these plants are named valleys. And Lieshan is also revered as Shennong's clan.
In addition to these crops, Shennong also tasted all kinds of poisonous herbs and medicinal herbs that were beneficial to humans, and scooped out the herbs that he already knew about pharmacology, woven them, and turned them into a whip, called an ochre whip.
Shennong whipped the grass with ochre, knowing its peaceful poison and cold temperature. As soon as the whip went down, the pharmacological effects of various herbs appeared in Lieshan's mind, which was convenient for him to pick and distinguish medicines, but when he encountered varieties that were not in the ochre whip, he still had to taste them himself and add them to the ochre whip.
In the end, Shennong found five kinds of plants that could be the staple food of the human race, and named them rice, millet, millet, wheat, and mushroom, which were collectively called five grains.
Moreover, he also compiled the medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs he had tasted over the years into a book, called "Shennong's Materia Medica", hoping to show people with this herbal scripture and cure diseases for the human race. Therefore, in addition to being respected as the Emperor of Shennong's Family, Lieshan is also known as the Emperor of Medicine and the Emperor of Medicine.
Because of these achievements, the Shennong clan was jointly elected as the second human king of the human race by the human race, following the example of the holy king of Fuxi, ruling the human race and helping the human race develop better.
After becoming the king of people, Shennong not only sorted out his own Materia Medica, but also promoted the five grain crops he discovered. At the same time, in order to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, he developed agricultural tools such as plows and hoes to cultivate fields, and agriculture also emerged.
Shennong's reign was also more than 300 years, and he made the major tribes of the flood and famine into agricultural civilization and made indelible contributions to the development of the human race.
Moreover, he also studied the Hetuluo Book and the innate gossip left by the Holy King Fuxi, and wrote down his own feelings, called "Lianshan Yi", and later generations of "Guizang Yi" and "Zhou Yi" and called Sanyi.
Because of all kinds of contributions, after the collapse of Shennong, later generations of human race listed it as the Holy Emperor and the Fuxi clan!
