Chapter 652: Taste the Herbs
Shennong saw that his wife had made such a great contribution to the human race, and when he was happy, he also felt a huge pressure, because he didn't want to be poked in the backbone by the people of the world, saying that he was inferior to his wife, so he immediately wanted to make some big contributions again to revitalize his husband.
And at this time, the first thing he thought of was what the white-bearded old man who watched him grow up told him, the three problems that bothered the people of the human race the most, no food to eat when hungry, no clothes to wear when cold, and no cure for illness.
As for the problem that the people are cold and have no clothes to wear, it has been alleviated a lot, first there is Fenghua drilling wood to make fire, and then the method of taking fire is spread throughout the human race, and then there are listening to the kneading linen for clothing, using the raw materials that can be seen everywhere to make linen, and now the people will not starve for the time being, but at least the cold can be basically avoided.
The white-bearded old man once told him that the grass growing on the ground is not necessarily useless weeds, some are like the Nine Spikes Valley that can fill people's stomachs, and some can cure the diseases suffered by the people.
But at that time, all the grains were grown with weeds, and all the medicines that could cure the people were also blooming with the flowers.
The common people are sick and have no treatment for them. Shennong is in his eyes and hurts in his heart. However, how to cure the people's diseases? Shennong pondered and meditated for three days and three nights. Finally came up with a way, since no one in the world knows the effects of various plants, let yourself taste them one by one.
So, he led a large number of strong and strong subjects to set out from Wanqiu City and walk to the northwest mountains, preparing to walk through thousands of mountains and taste all kinds of herbs.
And so they went, and so on. My legs were swollen and my feet were calloused, but I kept walking, and I walked for many months, and finally came to a place.
I saw that the mountains in this place were one peak after another, the canyons were one after another, the mountains were full of strange flowers and plants, and the fragrance was smelled from afar, and Shennong was overjoyed when he saw this. It's time to start tasting herbs in this place.
But as they were walking forward, a large group of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards suddenly burst out of the canyon, including both ordinary beasts and powerful monsters. Surrounding them, this place was a wild area that the Terrans had never reached, and it was far more dangerous than they had imagined.
Shennong was helpless. I can only lead my men to meet these wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, but. Although he has gained merit several times, he has not achieved the immortal path until now. Therefore, mana and energy are always very limited, and although there are many powerful treasures in his hands, none of them can be urged by his cultivation, so in the face of such a large group of seemingly endless wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, this group of people is in danger.
They killed and ran away a batch, and immediately hugged another batch, and they fought for seven days and seven nights, before they killed or drove away all the beasts, but their group of people who had not achieved the immortal path were all scarred and shocked.
At this time, Shennong's subjects felt that this place was too sinister, and immediately persuaded Shennong to go back, but Shennong shook his head and said: "I can't go back! I can't go back! The people of Li are hungry and have no food, and if they are sick and have no medical treatment, how can we go back!", he led the way into the canyon and came to the foot of a vast mountain.
This mountain is half-inserted in the clouds, surrounded by knife cliffs, the cliff hangs with waterfalls, moss, slippery, and there is a terrifying air flow around, if you want to go up the mountain, either you have to be a monk above the heavenly immortals, you can ignore this air flow and fly up, or you don't use mana, but directly climb the mountain little by little.
The subjects persuaded him to forget it again! It was better to go back as soon as possible, but Shennong still shook his head and said, "I can't go back! I can't go back! The people of Li are hungry and have no food, and if they are sick and have no medical treatment, how can we go back!"
He stood on a small stone mountain, facing the high mountain, looking up, looking down, looking left, looking right, making up his mind, thinking of a way, which made this small mountain peak suddenly famous, and later people named it "Wangnong Pavilion".
At this moment, he saw several golden snub-nosed monkeys, climbing along the ancient vines hanging high and the rotten trees that fell on the side of the cliff, crawling over, and immediately had an idea, and immediately called all the subjects, telling them to cut wooden poles, cut rattans, and build a frame against the cliff, and build a layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, regardless of wind and rain, or snow and ice, never stop working, so it took a whole year, a total of 360 floors, and then they reached the top of the mountain.
Shennong immediately took his subjects and climbed the wooden frame, anyway, although they did not become immortals, they were all monks, and they did not have to worry about being killed, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
And this mountaintop is really the world of flowers and plants, red, green, white, yellow, all kinds of colors, dense bushes, Shennong saw it immediately is overjoyed, immediately called his subjects to guard against wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and he personally picked flowers and plants, put them in his mouth to taste, in order to taste all the herbs here, for the people to find food, to find medicine.
And in order to block the endless stream of beasts and monsters, Shennong asked his subjects to plant dozens of rows of fir on the top of the mountain, set a ban, as a city wall to defend against beasts and monsters, and then built some simple thatched huts in the wall for everyone to live in.
During the day, he led his subjects to the mountains to taste the herbs, and at night, he asked his subjects to build a bonfire, and he made a detailed record of all the herbs he had tasted that day, which herbs were bitter, which were hot, which were cold, which herbs were able to satisfy hunger, and which herbs were able to heal diseases.
Of course, Shennong is not written in the words of the human race, after all, the human race has not yet given birth to words, he uses the Taoist text that is common to all monks in the flood wilderness, which is passed down by Hongjun Taoist ancestors in the Zixiao Palace, and only monks can understand it, and what he uses to record is not a pen, because at this time the pen has not yet come out, Shennong is to use the divine mind to record what he wants to record, and imprint the jade slips that the monks will use.
