Chapter 57: Shennong tastes a hundred herbs

However, it was said that the Shennong clan said goodbye to everyone and left Chendu, and then went all the way south and began to taste all kinds of herbs and test the poison with his body. For this reason, the Shennong clan specially prepared two bags, the left side of the ground for edible food, and the right side for poisonous land.

At this time, Shennong's family had already walked a lot, his legs were swollen, and his feet were calloused, but he still didn't stop. After walking for seven hundred and forty-nine days, Shennong came to a place, only to see that the mountains here are one peak after another, the canyons are one after another, the mountains are full of strange flowers and plants, and the fragrance is smelled in a long distance.

Shennong's family was overjoyed to see so many flowers and plants, and hurriedly walked forward. Just as Shennong's clan walked a little way forward. Suddenly, a group of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards came out of the canyon and surrounded him, and Shennong's clan was not afraid, and immediately brandished stone axes and stone spears, and hit the beasts, beating away a group of them, and embracing another group. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, the beasts were driven away, and when the Shennong clan saw that the beasts were beaten away, they felt very tired. So, Shennong sat on the ground and rested for a while.

After a while, the Shennong clan gradually regained his strength, got up and looked at the unknown canyon in front of him, thinking of the attack of those beasts just now, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. However, the Shennong clan immediately thought of the people of the human race, his eyes instantly became firm, he nodded heavily, and said to himself: "I can't go back! How can I go back!" said Shennong, who resolutely walked into the canyon.

A moment later, Shennong came to the foot of a vast mountain. This mountain is half cut into the clouds, and on all sides is a knife-cut cliff, and there is a waterfall hanging on the cliff, and there is moss, and the water is slippery, and it seems that there is no ladder to the sky.

Just when Shennong was helpless, suddenly, he saw several golden snub-nosed monkeys, crawling along the ancient vines hanging high and the rotten trees lying on the cliffside. At that moment, regardless of his physical fatigue, he began to cut wooden poles, cut rattans, and build a frame against the mountain cliff, building a layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, or snow and ice, he never stopped working. It took a whole year and 360 floors to reach the top of the mountain. This is the origin of Shennongjia in later generations.

Shennong's did a good job of cloud frame, and did not stop, and climbed this frame towards the top of the mountain. After a few days, Shennong's clan finally reached the top of the mountain. I saw that the top of the mountain is a great scenery, the sun sets, and ten thousand rays of light shine on the grass on the top of the mountain, adding a trace of brilliance to it, dazzling to the extreme. Shennong's looked at all this happily, and wanted to start tasting grass immediately, but if it was too late today, Shennong's had to give up, pack up his clothes, and start to rest, and start to taste all kinds of herbs tomorrow.

On the second day, as soon as Shennong woke up, he immediately got up to prepare, and then began to taste all kinds of herbs. If Shennong's did this, he would definitely eat some poisonous things by mistake, and some pain was inevitable, if it wasn't for the Golden Spirit Holy Mother who gave him some antidote pills earlier, Shennong's family would have died in Huangquan long ago.

However, Shennong did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and during the day, he tried Baicao. At night, Shennong would drill wood to make a fire, build a bonfire, and by the light of the fire, record in detail the grass tasted during the day, which grass is bitter, which is hot, which is cold, which can satisfy hunger, and which can heal diseases, all remember clearly.

However, after tasting all the herbs, Shennong will naturally put himself in danger all the time, and the elixir given by the Holy Mother of Jin Ling will also be used up. Moreover, the elixir given by the Holy Mother of Jin Ling could not remove the hundred poisons, so the Shennong clan finally encountered danger.

At this time, Shennong saw a small grass with small yellow flowers, and the calyx was moving one by one, and he was curious, so he put the leaves in his mouth and chewed them slowly. After a while, he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, and his intestines were broken one by one, and this grass was the famous broken intestine grass in later generations. Shennong hurriedly ate the antidote pill given by Our Lady of Golden Spirit, but this time it had no effect. Shennong's was shocked, the pain in his abdomen became more and more serious, Shennong's was already unable to think, and his consciousness gradually blurred, Shennong's was helpless, so he could only fall to the ground and keep rolling.

Hundreds of miles away from Chendu, the capital of the human race, there is a majestic mountain, the scenery in the mountain is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, this mountain is the temporary residence of the Holy Mother of Jinling. Just when Shennong's clan had just taken the Broken Intestine Grass, Our Lady of the Golden Spirit had already sensed it. Our Lady of Jin Ling also sighed in her heart, the Shennong clan is such a human race, and the fearless spirit of sacrificing oneself is probably unmatched in the world. After sighing, Our Lady of Jin Ling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and rushed to the rescue.

At this time, Shennong was already in unbearable pain, and there was only one thought left in his heart: "I can't imagine that my Shennong's family died here, but it's a pity that I haven't tasted all the herbs for the human race, and the human race still can't get rid of the entanglement of the disease, and my Shennong's heart is unwilling!"

Just as Shennong's eyes were closed and waiting for death, a golden light flashed, and a Gu appeared in front of Shennong's out of thin air, only to see that this Daoist Gu was wearing a golden Taoist robe that was very gorgeous, and her appearance was elegant, and she was the Holy Mother of Jinling. Seeing Shennong's condition, Our Lady of Jin Ling took out a pill and stuffed it into Shennong's mouth, and in a moment, Shennong's abdominal pain disappeared, and the poison of the intestine grass was cured.

Shennong's recovered, and when he saw the Holy Mother of Jin Ling standing aside, he knew that he was saved by the teacher this time, so he hurriedly got up and thanked the teacher Our Lady of Jin Ling: "Disciple Shennong's visit to the teacher, the disciple is stupid and accidentally eats poisonous weeds, thank the teacher for saving his life." ”

Our Lady of Jin Ling nodded and said, "You are my disciple, I naturally want to save you, but you don't need to be polite, get up." After a pause, Our Lady of Jin Ling then asked: "Shennong, do you know that your actions like this will definitely bring countless pain to yourself, and may even die because of it. ”

Shennong listened, and said: "The teacher is above, and the disciple is the human race to recognize the herbs, although he dies without regrets, since there are countless plants and trees, the disciples will taste it one by one, and say it again and again, and finally there will be a time to taste it all." After speaking, Shennong fell to the ground again and said: "It's just that the disciple is afraid that if he fails to complete this great cause, he will die, and he also asks the teacher to help the disciple." ”

Our Lady of Jin Ling looked at the Shennong clan with a firm face, smiled slightly, and with a wave of her hand, she helped the Shennong clan up, and the Holy Mother of Jin Ling said to the Shennong clan with a smile: "What you did was for the benefit of the people of the human race, and it was naturally incumbent on you to be a teacher." ”

Shennong's family saw that the Holy Mother of Jin Ling agreed, he was overjoyed, he knew that his teacher was a saint's disciple, and he had great powers, and now he was willing to help him complete the great cause, Shennong couldn't help but be excited, and bowed down again and said loudly: "Thank you for your help, and the disciple will thank the teacher for his kindness on behalf of all the people." ”

Our Lady of Jin Ling nodded, thought for a while, and then said to Shennong's family: "Shennong's family, you will wait here for a while, and you will come as soon as you go for the teacher." With that, he drove the clouds towards the East China Sea.

After a few days, Our Lady of Jin Ling arrived at Penglai Island, and did not stay, and walked directly to Biyou Palace. In the Biyou Palace, the Holy Mother of Jin Ling saw Tongtian meditating on the cloud bed at this time, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, saying: "Disciple Jin Ling, meet the teacher, may the teacher have a long life." ”

Tongtian glanced at the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit and said, "No need to be polite, get up." After thanking us again, Our Lady of the Golden Spirit got up and stood aside. Tongtian then asked, "Jin Ling, what do you have to say about your coming here today?" ”

Our Lady of Jin Ling hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Teacher Rongyu, the disciple Shennong clan that the disciple has received, is now willing to taste all the herbs for the human race and identify whether it is poisonous, but this method is extremely dangerous, and the disciple is also unable to do so, so I have come to ask the teacher for guidance." ”

Tongtian nodded and said, "The Shennong clan is concerned about the human race. Then, I saw Tongtian shake one hand, and a long black whip appeared in his hand, and said to the Holy Mother of Jinling: "This whip is called the ochre whip, which is refined by the master with the body of a dragon clan and many genius treasures. Our Lady of Jin Ling was overjoyed and thanked, stepped forward to take the whip, and then bowed to the sky and walked towards the place where Shennong's clan was.

A few days have passed in a flash, and Our Lady of the Golden Spirit has arrived at this time. Seeing Shennong's family, Our Lady of Jin Ling smiled slightly, handed the whip to Shennong, and said: "This whip is refined by your ancestors, called ochre whip, this thing can be used to identify the surname of the hundred herbs, just use it with you, and identify the hundred herbs." Shennong's was overjoyed, stepped forward to take the ochre whip, put it in his hand and watched, and was overjoyed.

Seeing this, Our Lady of the Golden Spirit shook her head with a smile and said, "In this way, you will continue your great cause and go as a teacher." After that, he handed over some antidote pills to Shennong's clan, and then drove away. Shennong kept looking at the Holy Mother of Jin Ling until she disappeared into the sea of clouds, and then came back to her senses. Then he continued to start his great business and tasted all kinds of herbs.

After that, Shennong tasted a mountain of flowers and plants, and then went to another mountain to taste, or used a wooden pole to build a frame and climb up. He had been tasting it for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and had traveled all over the surrounding mountains and mountains, and he had tasted three hundred and sixty-five kinds of herbs.

After Shennong tasted the herbs, he found the herbs for the Honghuang people, and then prepared to go down the mountain to go back. When he looked around, the wooden frames built all over the mountains were gone. It turned out that those wooden poles that erected the ground, took root on the ground, spit out buds in the rain, and grew into a vast forest sea after a long time.

Shennong was embarrassed, only to see an auspicious cloud coming from the sky, take a closer look, it was his teacher Our Lady of Jin Ling floating again, Shennong was overjoyed, and naturally knew that the teacher was here to help him go down the mountain. When Our Lady of Jin Ling saw Shennong's family, she didn't say much, and protected Shennong and sent him down the mountain.

In order to commemorate Shennong's achievements in tasting herbs and benefiting the world. Later generations named this Shennong a vast forest after tasting a hundred herbs, and named it "Shennongjia".

After Shennong returned to the tribe. I returned to my big tent and began to sort out my knowledge of the grass over the years. After two years. Shennong finally completed the first medical technique in the flood wilderness, that is, "Shennong's Materia Medica".
