Chapter Seventy-Five: Shennong Succeeds to the Throne and Tastes Hundred Herbs
Just when everyone was shocked, they saw a Taoist suddenly standing up on the dragon's chariot, and after everyone saw the face of the Taoist clearly, they couldn't help but bow down again: "See the human ancestor!" It turned out that this Taoist was one of the three ancestors of the human race, Youchao.
Seeing this, the Chao clan smiled slightly, and after ordering everyone to get up, he said directly: "The edict of the Holy Master Zhu Yan, the co-master of the human race, Fuxi, made fishing nets, divided six animals, performed innate gossip, and educated the human race so far, it can be said that the merit is complete, and the human emperor Dao fruit is finally completed, and he should be the emperor of the three emperors of the human race, and from now on he will live in the Huoyun Palace, suppress the luck of the human race, and receive the incense of the human race forever!" The voice spread throughout the desolate world, and all living beings knew that the vision of heaven and earth was produced by Fuxi's preaching, and they all bowed in the direction of Fuxi again.
After the reading was finished, Youchao personally stepped forward to help Luo Xi and said with a smile: "Please ask the emperor to ascend!"
When Fu Xi heard this, he gave a deep salute and said, "Please go first!"
Youchao heard the words but slowly shook his head, Fu Xi had no choice but to walk slowly towards the dragon chariot, when Fu Xi boarded the chariot, the sky suddenly fell a large amount of merit golden light, of which eighty percent did not enter Fu Xi's body, and two percent flew into Youchao's body. The cultivation of the two of them improved rapidly under the nourishment of the golden light of merit, but they both reached the late stage of quasi-sainthood.
At this time, I saw that the Chao clan stretched out his hand and waved, and then saw a purple ribbon submerged into the center of Fu Xi's eyebrows, merging with Fu Xi's primordial spirit. Fu Xi felt a little, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and muttered to himself: "Hongmeng Purple Qi!" said tentatively: "What about the red cloud?"
Youchao smiled slightly when he heard this: "It's the one in Hongyun's hand, but it's only one-third of the original!"
As Youchao's words fell, the golden light of merit finally disappeared completely, and the vision between heaven and earth slowly calmed down. ”
When Zhu Xiang heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Zhu Xiang will definitely live up to the teachings of his teacher and uncle!"
Seeing Fu Xi's surprised eyes, Zhu Xiang opened his mouth to explain: "Family teacher Suiren!"
Fu Xi smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Senior brother is so hard for his brother!" Then he raised his hand to Zhu Xiang and saluted: "The human race will ask the junior brother, take the first step for the brother, and wait for the arrival of the junior brother in the Huoyun Palace!"
Seeing this, Zhu Xiang hurriedly replied: "Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother will do his best to live up to the teacher's teachings!"
Fu Xi nodded slightly when he heard this, but he shook the reins lightly and broke through the air with Youchao.
On top of the dragon chariot, Youchao suddenly turned his head and said: "Master has a word, if Fuxi is interested, you can go to the Wa Palace to gather first, and then go to the Huoyun Palace to take up a post." ”
Fu Xi sighed when he heard this: "Fu Xi of the demon clan is dead, but the poor Dao is the emperor of the human race, and the matter of the demon clan has been put down as early as the beginning of reincarnation!"
In the Wa Palace, Nuwa looked in the direction of the Huoyun Palace and muttered, "Brother, can you really give up the relationship between you and my brother and sister? Why are you so ruthless that you refuse to come to the Wa Palace to see me!"
Lingzhuzi, who was practicing martial arts on the side, saw Nuwa's sudden sad face, and for a while she didn't know what was going on, and was about to ask, when she was suddenly pulled by Jin Ning and walked outside the palace.
......
On Mount Meru, Zhun Ti couldn't help but look at the merits in the sky, "Senior brother, this human emperor's teacher, can I get a piece of the pie in the West?"
"Senior brother, have you seen Sanqing's move? Senior Brother's methods are not something you and I can compete with!" Zhun Ti listened, sighed, and closed his eyes.
On Shouyang Mountain, Sanqing was gathering in the Taiqing Palace at this time, and saw Yuan Shi with a disgruntled face: "Big brother, you are the leader of the human sect and in charge of the education of the human race, these three emperors and five emperors should be designated by the eldest brother, how can the merits of this emperor be given up lightly!"
Tongtian was also quite moved when he heard this, although he did not lack merit, but if his disciples could become emperors, maybe they would be able to break through the quasi-saint realm.
When Lao Tzu heard this, he said lightly: "Senior brother once said that the master of the Three Emperors is not allowed to be touched by others, but the way of the human emperor is different from the two emperors of heaven and earth, the human emperor is the way of killing, but the disciples of the Holy Sect are allowed to help." As for the division of the Five Emperors, all the saints relied on their own means, but Zifu Prefecture no longer interfered lightly. ”
Yuan Shi and Tongtian were quite moved when they heard this, but they hurriedly said goodbye and left, and couldn't wait to arrange the candidates for the emperor. Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Lao Tzu couldn't help but sigh.
Putting aside the calculations in the hearts of the saints, he said that after Zhu Xiang inherited the position of co-master, he vigorously developed agriculture and completely solved the food problem of the human race. Because Zhu Xiang discovered the five grains and taught people the art of farming, they called him "Shennong".
But with the increase in population, another problem was placed in front of Zhu Xiang, and some clansmen often became inexplicably weakened and even died slowly, including a large number of young and even young clansmen.
Although this situation has been playing out since the birth of the human race, and people have long been accustomed to it, Zhu Xiang thought that this phenomenon was very unreasonable, and he gave this phenomenon a name, called "disease", and he believed that people suddenly became weak because they were sick.
Shennong decided to change this situation, and he wanted to find a way to treat people and restore their health. Shennong thought hard day and night, but he never had a clue.
Suddenly, an elder reminded Shennong: "The co-master of Fuxi invented the Tai Chi gossip because he got the help of the ancestor Youchao, and now that the co-master is in difficulty, why don't you ask for help from the Lingshi Suiren clan?"
Shennong was overjoyed when he heard this, and after bathing and changing his clothes, he went to the Holy Master Temple to pray to the Suiren clan. After a while, he saw that the statue of the Suiren clan was shining brightly, and after the light dissipated, Shennong found that the Suiren clan had appeared in front of him.
After listening to Shennong's story, the Suiren clan nodded appreciatively, but slowly spoke: "Your speculation is very correct, this can indeed be called a disease." There are two methods for you to choose from, one is that you can pass on the method of alchemy, although this method is good, but it requires a certain amount of cultivation as the foundation, and cannot be promoted in the human race. Second, all things are mutually reinforcing, and every disease has a good medicine to solve, but this requires you to explore hard by yourself, and even lose your life for it, but once this method is successful, even if you have no cultivation, you can help others to treat diseases. I wonder which one you're going to choose?"
When Shennong heard this, he did not hesitate and said: "The disciple chooses the second type, and I also ask the master to guide the maze!"
The color of appreciation in Suiren's eyes was even stronger, but he said slowly: "Since you can sift out the grains from many plants, you should know that not all plants are edible, and some of these plants are highly poisonous, and if you eat them, you will get sick and may even die, but some are good medicines that can treat different diseases." You need to taste them one by one to determine the toxicology and medicinal properties of these plants. Knowing this, do you still have to stick to your choice?"
When Shennong heard this, his expression was firm and said: "For the sake of the human race, the disciple will die without regrets!"
Suiren nodded with satisfaction, but out of thin air took out a wooden whip with a pearl on the top and handed it to Shennong: "This wooden whip is called a whip, as long as you touch the plant with the pearl at the top, you can know its medicinal properties, if it is a poison, this pearl will turn red, the darker the color, the greater the toxicity; if it is a good medicine, it will turn green, the heavier the color, the better the medicinal effect; this copper tripod is called Shennong Ding, but this tripod is for you to use for refining medicine, which can help you refine the essence of the medicine." ”
Seeing this, Shennong hurriedly gave a deep bow and reached out to take the two treasures. Seeing this, the Suiren clan nodded again, but it passed down the cultivation method of Shennong Ding's mantra and Samadhi True Fire, and then disappeared.
Shennong bowed deeply to the statue of the Suiren, and then slowly walked out of the Holy Master Temple. The next day, he called the elders to discuss and offered to go out to find a cure. The elders persuaded to no avail, so they had to bow and worship: "The great virtue of the co-master!"
So, Shennong said goodbye to his wife and daughter and his clansmen the next day, and set off to the east with a hundred Terran warriors.
Shennong started from observing the beast to treat injuries, after observation, Shennong found that the beast for different injuries, the herbs used are different, like the general skin trauma, that is, a herb is directly chewed and then applied to the wound, and the wound bitten by a poisonous snake and poisonous insect is chewed and applied to the wound is another herb, not only external application but also appropriate consumption of these herbs.
Observing this, Shennong's attention was all attracted by these herbs. Slowly, Shennong found that the herbs used by wild beasts to treat injuries and illnesses were just the most common and common plants, and there were too many plants that were judged as herbs by Chu Whip, but these herbs were not used by wild beasts, so it was impossible to know the effects of these herbs, so Shennong decided to try these herbs himself, and understand the medicinal properties of these herbs through his own experience!
Shennong knew the danger of this attempt, so after each attempt, he called his entourage to draw down this herb, remember the medicinal properties of these herbs, and told them that if they were unfortunately poisoned to death, they would return to Chendu and spread the painted herbs and the medicinal properties of these herbs to the entire human race.
Shennong's method of personally trying herbs to understand their medicinal properties is very effective, especially the medicinal properties of these herbs, as if they are engraved into his mind.
Since then, Shennong has trekked through mountains and rivers, tasted all kinds of herbs, and can encounter different herbs every day, but as the saying goes, it is three points of poison, Shennong tried it himself, and he was poisoned several times a day, and the most one was poisoned more than 70 times a day!
But after all, the toxicity brought by herbs is not very strong, and there are so many poisons in a day, most of the toxicity in the body will be neutralized, plus Shennong also has a certain understanding of herbs, and he can also detoxify himself, so as long as Shennong is not highly poisonous, he has no worries about life.
Shennong stopped all the way, with the help of the whip and Shennong, but he found a lot of good medicine, and also recorded a lot of poisons. Due to the number of poisonings, Shennong's stomach and stomach have mutated, and slowly become transparent, and the process of digestion and decomposition of food in the stomach and intestines can be seen from the outside of the belly.
Shennong was quite optimistic about this, and laughed and said: "With this belly, I will be able to better understand pharmacology from now on!"
Unconsciously, Shennong trekked through mountains and rivers and tasted the herbs for decades, and now Shennong is already an old man who is more than half a hundred years old, and his footprints are all over most of the desolate land. Over the years, Shennong has been committed to finding herbs, during which he often walks the Terrans, treats injuries and diseases for the Terrans, and spreads herbal medicines, firstly to help the Terrans educate the Terrans, and secondly, to verify the medicinal properties of various herbs.
Shennong's act of saving the dead and helping the wounded, as well as the deeds of Shennong personally tasting a hundred herbs that were later leaked by his entourage, made Shennong's prestige in the human race reach a new height! Therefore, although Shennong did not govern in Chendu, his prestige gradually surpassed that of the previous co-ruler, Fuxi.
On this day, Shennong and his entourage came to a strange tribe, when Shennong was helping the human race here to treat his injuries, he heard that there was a kind of red grass on the nearby mountain, and beasts, snakes and insects did not dare to approach. Shennong immediately became interested, so he took his entourage and went up the mountain to look for this kind of grass.
Soon Shennong and his party found this kind of grass, this grass is indeed rumored, the whole body is red, and there are no birds, beasts, insects and ants within a mile, and even the other plants around this grass are withered.
When Shennong first saw this grass, he knew that this grass was absolutely unusual, and he tried to try it with a whip, and found that the beads on the top of the whip had become more red than blood, and he immediately knew that this grass was a highly poisonous thing.
But what Shennong thought of was, if someone really ate this kind of grass by mistake, how should I treat it? After a period of contemplation, Shennong decided to try it.
Shennong gently dug out the grass, observed it for a while, and then asked the entourage to draw the appearance of the grass, and then gently bit the grass.
As soon as this mouthful of grass entered his stomach, Shennong felt that his whole body was hot, as if he was burned by a fire, and after a while, he had severe pain in his abdomen, Shennong screamed and fell to the ground, and soon fell into a coma, leaving only his body still twitching unconsciously.
Seeing this, the entourage hurriedly helped Shennong up, but saw that Shennong was already red all over at this time, and looked through Shennong's belly, but saw that Shennong's intestines had been broken into many small pieces one inch long.
This phenomenon is the first time they have encountered it, they have all followed Shennong for decades, and they all have some knowledge of herbal medicine, but now they are helpless. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Shennong, reached out and took out a pill, and sent it into Shennong's mouth.
After a while, Shennong woke up slowly, and when he saw the figure in front of him, he hurriedly said: "Shennong has thanked the master for saving his life!" It turned out that this person was the Suiren clan, one of the three ancestors of the human race.
Hearing this, the Suiren clan nodded slightly, but said slowly: "This grass is called Broken Intestine Grass, which is extremely poisonous, but there is no cure in the world!"
Shennong was shocked when he heard this, regardless of his physical weakness, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please have mercy on Master and save the human race!"
Seeing this, the Suiren clan sighed, but handed Shennong a bag of seeds and said: "This is the seed of Yao grass on Zifu Continent, this grass is the nemesis of this broken intestine grass, but it is not easy to survive." After a pause, he said: "It has been decades since you left Chendu, so let's go back as soon as possible, sort out what you have gained over the years, and benefit the human race as soon as possible!"
When Shennong heard this, he hurriedly thanked him, but decided to follow the instructions of the Suiren and return to Chendu as soon as possible. But what Shennong didn't know was that his wife had already passed away, and his most beloved youngest daughter, Nuwa, had also suffered an accident.
