Chapter Seventy-Four: Lieshan Zhu Xiangzhi Grains
When the elder heard this, he sorted out his thoughts and began to introduce the bits and pieces of what he had heard. It turned out that Zhu Xiang's Lieshan tribe was originally a small tribe, and at that time, the methods of weaving nets to catch animals and raising six animals in captivity had not yet spread there, so the people of the Lieshan tribe often worried about food.
Once, because the young Zhu Xiang couldn't stand the hunger, he stole the gourd seeds of the tribe and was severely spanked by his parents. Because there were no tools to hold water in the tribe at that time, they could only use gourds to hold water, so they attached great importance to gourd seeds, and even adults used "stealing gourd seeds to grow teeth, and you can't eat" to scare children.
Zhu Xiang felt very aggrieved, so he wanted to invent a tool to replace the gourd. The first thing that Xiao Zhu Xiang thought of was the mud, for the children in the tribe at that time, playing with mud was a rare fun, mixing the soil with water, kneading it as much as it wanted, and kneading it into whatever shape it wanted.
Zhu Xiang thought that the gourd could be filled with water, so he pinched a mud gourd, and then obediently waited for the gourd to dry, thinking that it would be good if the gourd could be filled with water, so that there would be gourd seeds to eat.
But after the gourd dried, Zhu Xiang's mud gourd only lasted for a while and then shattered, but under the action of water, the air-dried gourd was soaked again.
Zhu Xiang is a stubborn child, and he never gives up lightly, he suddenly thought that the ground in the tribe's barbecue place seems to be a little different, and it is not easy to penetrate after occasionally water falls on it, but flows around, thinking about it carefully, it may be because the ground has been scorched by flames for a long time.
Zhu Xiang found a way and excitedly tried it, and after continuous efforts, he finally made the first pottery in human history - a rather ugly gourd. Since then, Zhu Xiang has been out of control, and has fired clay pots with larger capacity, pots and pans.
Zhu Xiang thought that gourd seeds could be eaten, but could the seeds of other plants also be eaten? So he started his own attempt, and this attempt could not be stopped. After continuous selection, Zhu Xiang finally selected the seeds of several plants as food, but they were millet, beans, hemp, wheat, and rice, which are collectively called five grains. Since then, the people of the Lieshan tribe can not only eat barbecued meat and boiled meat, but also boiled plant seeds. And because the tribe can exchange items with other tribes through guò pottery, it quickly becomes powerful.
After seeing Zhu Xiang's ability, the old patriarch gave up the position of patriarch to Zhu Xiang, and Zhu Xiang was only 17 years old this year. After Zhu Xiang succeeded to the position of patriarch, he was not satisfied with picking wild grass seeds, but led people to reclaim wasteland and plant grains.
Seeing the clansmen smashing holes in the ground with wood and bones, Zhu Xiang wanted to invent a simple tool for digging holes and turning over the ground. Zhu Xiang first came up with the idea of sharpening the front ends of wood, stone, and bones, so that the strength required was much less, and the speed of turning the ground was faster. In the following days, Zhu Xiang kept transforming his inventions, so there were stones made of stones, that is, stone pear spades.
......
After hearing the elder's introduction, Fu Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he had fully understood the great role that pottery and grains played in the development of the human race. From now on, the Terrans no longer need to live along the water, nor do they need to fish and hunt everywhere, they can settle in places with abundant water sources and establish new tribes, and the footprints of the Terrans will truly spread throughout the wilderness.
Fu Xi was obviously a little impatient, and he couldn't even wait for the time to summon Zhu Xiang to Chendu, so he took a few retinues to the Lieshan tribe to see the tribe run by Zhu Xiang in person.
The news of Fuxi's arrival made the calm tribe boil all of a sudden, and Zhu Xiang hurriedly took the warriors and wise men of the clan to greet him.
Fu Xi walked all the way, saw the green crops in the tribe, couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and after seeing Zhu Xiang, he was even more satisfied, although Zhu Xiang's face was ordinary, but his whole body revealed a fresh temperament, although there was no domineering of the emperor, but there was a benevolent atmosphere. Fu Xi nodded secretly, but he was already sure that Zhu Xiang was the successor he was looking for.
Seeing that Fu Xi was looking at him, Zhu Xiang hurriedly saluted and said, "Zhu Xiang, the leader of the Lieshan tribe, see the co-master!" Seeing this, Fu Xi smiled slightly, gently helped Zhu Xiang up, and walked into the place where the tribe was discussing with Zhu Xiang.
After Zhu Xiang arranged for everyone to sit down, he saluted Fu Xi and said, "I wonder if there is anything to tell the co-lord when he arrives? All the clansmen of the Lieshan tribe will obey the co-master's dispatch." ”
Hearing this, Fu Xi waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Xiang to sit down, and after Zhu Xiang sat down, he said: "The reason why the old man came to your tribe is because I heard that the chief invented food like five grains, which is not only delicious, but also has a good yield. ”
Zhu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll order someone to take the grains and give them to the co-owner to taste." "Soon five portions of food were delivered, each in a fine crockery.
Fu Xi is not polite, pick up the food and eat, this food is really worthy of the name, the grains are really delicious, less the fishy smell of meat, more than a faint fragrance, it tastes unique.
After eating, Fu Xi praised again and again: "Not bad! Sure enough, it is the same as the rumors! These grains must be popularized to the whole human race! May I ask the leader of Zhu Xiang, would you like to go to Chen Capital with the old man and contribute to the development of the human race." ”
Zhu Xiang hurriedly said: "The co-owner has an order, Zhu Xiang dares to disobey his orders, in fact, Zhu Xiang has been committed to promoting the cultivation of grains to various tribes, just because of his own meager strength, so little success, if you can get the support of the co-owner, it is the best." ”
Fu Xi nodded secretly after listening, and was able to selflessly share the planting techniques of the five grains, which shows that Zhu Xiang's mind is very broad-minded. A few days later, Zhu Xiang followed Fuxi to Chendu.
After Fu Xi returned to Chendu, he immediately organized his clan to plant grains, and handed over all the power to Zhu Xiang, and he began to build momentum for Zhu Xiang and establish prestige. When Zhu Xiangshun taught the human race in Chendu how to grow grains, Zhu Xiang had already established a certain prestige in Chendu. Chen Du Nai was the center of the entire human race, and received the attention of the entire human race, and Zhu Xiang's great name began to spread throughout the human race.
Finally, the five grains ushered in the first harvest in Chendu, the deliciousness of the grain made the human race in Chendu full of praise, Shennong's prestige was further improved, and then Shennong began to spread the five grains in the entire human race, and within a few years, it had a huge prestige in the entire human race.
A few years later, a voice sounded in the hearts of all the human races, "I am Fu Xi, the co-leader of the human race, and I will hold a Zen ceremony in Chendu in half a year, and give up the position of co-leader to Zhu Xiang, and I hope that the leaders of all tribes will come to witness!"
Half a year later, the entire Chen capital was boiling, and everyone gathered towards the center of the Chen capital. As early as half a year ago, Fu Xi ordered people to build an altar in the center of Chendu, and nine stone steps extended from the ground to the top of the high platform.
At this time, there is a small wooden table on the top of the high platform, and three tablets are placed on the table, a slightly larger tablet is placed in the middle, on which is engraved a young man wearing a red Taoist robe, and there is a slightly smaller tablet on each side, which is also engraved with patterns, respectively, a Taoist with white hair and a woman with a snake tail, but these three people are not Zhu Yan Laojun and Nuwa.
I don't know how long it took, the high-level Terran led by Fu Xi slowly came to the center of Chendu, only to see Fu Xi holding Zhu Xiang's hand and walking up the stairs, Fu Xi in front and Zhu Xiang in the back. Finally, the two stopped at the wooden table and led the Terrans to bow nine times to the tablets of the three of them.
Next, I saw Fu Xi say in a loud voice: "The Terran Holy Master Zhu Yan Saint is above, the Terran Holy Mother Nuwa Niangniang is above, and the Human Sect Leader Taiqing Saint is above." Terran Fuxi adheres to the will of heaven and assumes the position of co-master of the human race, and now his merits are complete, and he wants to pass on the position of co-master to Zhu Xiang, hoping that the saint will see it clearly. After that, he personally handed over the Nine Dragons Star Crown and Kongtong Seal to Zhu Xiang.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a beautiful fairy sound sounding in the sky, and colorful auspicious clouds descended from the sky, and for a while, all the creatures in the desolation bowed in the direction of Chen Du.
At this time, a black spot suddenly appeared in the sky of Chen Du, and the black spot slowly descended, from far to near, from small to large, and finally stopped on the altar. When the black dot stopped on the altar, everyone looked at it in shock, and it turned out that the black dot was a chariot driving nine golden dragons.
