Chapter 339 Perfecting the Grain! Shu!
The ancient times did not count years, time passed by slowly, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years passed.
Although Shennong was only a mortal, he was supported by a rich life essence in his body. Shennong's longevity was extremely sufficient. As long as the life essence had not dissipated, there was no limit to Shennong's longevity.
This mass of life essence seems to have given Shennong an immortal body. As long as the life essence is not exhausted, Shennong will not be threatened by his life!
In the past tens of thousands of years, Shennong has been tasting hundreds of herbs, repeating the previous actions, exploring the medicinal properties of each unknown herb and figuring out its effects.
On this day, Shennong suddenly discovered a non-toxic and edible plant, which, like the four previously discovered grains, could be used as one of the main foods of the human race.
After discovering this plant, Shennong was overjoyed and named it Shu.
Afterwards, Shen Nong carefully took the seeds of the bean sprouts that he finally found in his hands and headed towards the nearest human tribe.
········
Around Taihao City, there is a small human village. There are only about 300 people in this village. It was separated from the larger tribes before. With the popularity of grain discovered by Shen Nong, the major tribes have gradually dispersed into small villages. This The village was the village that was separated at that time.
They mainly make a living by growing corn and other cereals.
On this day, people in the village were farming normally and taking care of the grains they planted. Suddenly, they noticed an old man wearing a linen robe walking not far away. The old man was holding a crutch in his hand, with a kind smile on his face, and no trace of anything on his body. He has no magic power at all and walks very slowly. He is obviously an ordinary old man from the surrounding villages.
"Old man, you are from that village, why haven't I seen you before?"
Around the village, a working villager looked at Shennong with a look of confusion on his face.
As the tribe was refined and turned into villages, the number of people became smaller and the people around it became more familiar. The name of Jianzhuang Village can confirm that this old man is definitely not from the surrounding villages, but must be an outsider.
Looking at the golden corn fields in front of him and the grains planted around him, Shen Nong also showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I am not from around here. I am busy with some things in the mountains. This time I came to find a village. Contact the clan.”
The village name was stunned, contact the clan?
The villagers couldn't help but look Shennong up and down, with a look of surprise on their faces. Among the contact clan, ordinary clan members could not do it. Only the key figures in the clan could do it. At least they were at the level of elders.
For a moment, the villagers had a look of suspicion on their faces. Although the man in front of them was very kind, and his temperament did seem to be that of an elder. Cultivation is in the body, and one should not be an elder.
The villager was stunned and asked:
"I wonder who you are, father-in-law?"
"The old Shennong."
With that said, Shennong took out his Supreme Elder Order from his waist.
However, Shennong's actions were completely unnecessary. After Shennong finished speaking, the villagers in front of them suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Shennong in disbelief, with shock and joy on their faces!
After being stunned for a long time, the villagers in front of them reacted and glanced at the token on the farmer's waist. His face was instantly filled with surprise.
"I, I, meet the Human Emperor!"
The villager spoke nervously.
Upon seeing this, Shen Nong immediately took two steps forward and helped the villagers up with a smile.
The surrounding villagers suddenly lost their composure after hearing the conversation between the two. Their faces showed signs of ecstasy, and they all gathered towards Shennong, bowing and saluting from afar.
And as the news spread, people from the entire village gathered over. Even people from the surrounding villages noticed something was wrong and gathered over. For a moment, all the surrounding human races gathered over and saluted Shennong.
"You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."
········
After a long time, everything returned to calm. The surrounding people gathered excitedly around Shennong. Looking at the respectful eyes of the surrounding people, Shennong couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile on his face, and his heart felt fuller than ever before.
At the same time, looking at the expressions of the people in front of him also strengthened Shen Nong's determination to taste a hundred herbs and let the tribesmen use the surrounding vegetation.
Today, the respectful eyes of the tribesmen around him are the disdainful motivation for Shennong to continue.
After explaining the situation, the tribe immediately dispatched warriors from the tribe towards the nearest city. Then, the nearest city reported to the larger city.
Two days later, a stream of light broke through the void and came to the village. Seeing Shennong's figure, the stream of light fell down instantly.
The person's body is filled with immortal light, and the power of the five elements in his chest is endless and flowing. He is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, an elder among the human race.
“I’ve met the Human Emperor!”
Seeing Shennong, the visitor immediately bowed to Shennong and saluted.
"No need to be polite!"
Shennong said with a smile.
After standing up, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on the face of this Taiyi Golden Immortal-level elder, "His Majesty the Human Emperor, what is your cultivation level?"
"Out of the way, out of the way."
"Send me to Zhonghuang Mountain."
The human elder at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level was silent for a while, then respectfully said: "Yes!"
Three months later, another bright pillar of merit fell from the sky and sank into Shennong's body. In front of Shennong's wooden house, there were already five kinds of golden grains.
At this point, all grains have been discovered, laying a solid foundation for human agriculture in the future!
Shen Nong looked at the golden grains in front of him with a smile on his face. Behind Shennong, a group of human race elders looked at Shennong from a distance, their faces full of admiration.
Everyone already knows about Shen Nong. He abandoned his heavenly cultivation, turned into a mortal, and tasted herbs. This was something everyone present thought they couldn't do. That was a quasi-sage level Taoist practice.
Even though this is a Taoist practice transformed by merit, and Shennong's merit is simple, it is still difficult for everyone to make this decision.
After all, it was a mighty merit that was enough to prove a quasi-sage. No one was willing to give it away in vain, but Shennong did it. He gave up his Taoism and devoted himself to the welfare of the human race.
Taoist Tianxiang looked at Shennong in the distance, his face full of emotion. As the only one among all races who knew the true result of Shennong, Taoist Tianxiang was also filled with emotions at this time.
Losing his cultivation, becoming a mortal, and tasting herbs in a mortal body, which seemed like an extreme thing, Shennong did it without hesitation.
It can only be said that Shennong truly deserves the position of Emperor.
Such a human emperor makes people feel respected.
After planting the last bean sprouts, Shennong set out again excitedly. Shennong declined the invitations from all the elders to go with him and said calmly:
"You are all the supreme elders of the clan, and each one of you is a pillar of the clan. You are wasting your time by following me. If you have this time, why not patrol the territory of the human race and kill a few monsters that attack the human race? It’s better than just following along and doing nothing.”
"It's enough for me to have an elder by my side and lead me on my journey."
Shennong smiled and rejected everyone, brought an elder named Guisou District and left Zhonghuang Mountain, and started the journey of tasting Baicao again.
It is worth mentioning that this Guisouqu was the one who led Shennong back to Zhonghuang Mountain.
Wanxiang Taoist looked at Shennong and Guisou District who were leaving. He sighed slightly and did not say anything to persuade him to stay. Shen Nong's taste of herbs is really important to the human race. Five grains and various medicinal materials were discovered by Shennong and created the human race. A pioneer in agriculture and medicine.
However, it is a good thing to taste the herbs, but Shen Nong ended up eating the gallbladder and died. This is a regret for the entire human race in Chinese history, and also a regret for the entire Chinese history in later generations. If it can be avoided, that would be great.
Taoist Wanxiang looked at Zhisheng in the distance. Zhisheng noticed Taoist Tianxiang's gaze, smiled and nodded.
A smile appeared on Taoist Wanxiang's face. The power of the world beneath his feet was turbulent, and Taoist Wanxiang's figure also disappeared.
In just one step, Tianxiang Taoist appeared above Shennong and Guisou.
Anyway, my role is to sit in Zhonghuang Mountain and wake up the deity at critical moments. As for the matter of practicing and enlightening, I am here, but I don’t have the Book of All Things, so enlightenment is not suitable for me.
Zhonghuang Mountain is only guarded by the deity's Xianghao, and his early stage cultivation as a quasi-sage is enough.
If you are idle, you are idle. It is better to follow Shennong and see if there is a chance to save him.
Looking at the two people chatting happily below, Wanxiang Taoist's eyes fell on Gui Souqu beside him. This man was no ordinary person. According to his own memory, this man should be the founder of Five Elements Medicine, who was called by later generations. The doctor of ten generations!
The most famous classic of Chinese medicine, the Huangdi Neijing, is said to have been written by the emperor after consultation with him, Qi Bo and other ministers, but only the emperor's name was written.
Unexpectedly, when he was young, this man turned out to be Shen Nong's follower when he tasted a hundred herbs. No wonder future generations would achieve such achievements!
Not bad, not bad. I hope the human race can add another Da Luo Jinxian in the future!
Not long after, Shennong and Guisou arrived at the place where Shennong left before and continued their journey of tasting herbs.
There is also Shen Nong's large piece of Shu growing here. Wanxiang Taoist glanced at this large piece of Shu. No wonder Shen Nong didn't discover this thing at first. Shu is a bean, which is completely different from those of corn. You can only know it by tasting it. This thing is edible.
Shen Nong looked at the grass and trees all over the mountains and fields, searched carefully, and found a plant that he had never tasted before. He turned to Gui Souqu and said with a smile:
"I'm a mortal now. I can't fly in the clouds, so I can only fall out with you. However, there are still many plants and trees that have never been tasted in this mountain forest. It is estimated that it will take more than ten thousand years. You can stay in seclusion on the side until the need arises. When I left, I was looking for you.”
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, tasted the white grass and knew the five grains, which made my human race prosperous. Guisu District admires it very much. It is Guisu District's blessing to be with Your Majesty today. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. You can rest assured. Your thing.”
Hearing this, Shen Nong also showed a smile on his face, "Fine, that's up to you."
After saying that, Shen Nong focused on the grass and trees in front of him. He picked one and put it in his mouth. Gui Souqu also followed him and marveled at Shen Nong's abdomen.
As time went by, Guisouqu watched Shennong taste the grass and trees in front of him a hundred times, just to find out the efficacy of the grass and trees. For a moment, a look of deep admiration appeared in Guisouqu's eyes.
It is truly a blessing for the human race to have such an emperor!
I am really lucky to be able to follow such a person!
In the sky, Wanxiang Taoist was also full of admiration. In his memory, each medicinal material has its own medicinal properties, but when two medicinal materials are mixed, medicinal properties that have never appeared before will appear.
At the beginning, I was still curious about how the predecessors knew about such a magical combination of medicinal materials. Now Taoist Wanxiang understands that this was achieved through hard trials. Shennong pioneered medicine. Then, the sages of Xinglin in later generations tried it from generation to generation. Only then did this happen. A vast collection of medical classics for later generations!
Time passed day by day, and Shennong was still trying various medicinal materials. However, Shennong's whereabouts were not far away. In the past 60,000 years since the Wanxiang Taoist came here, Shennong had only changed a dozen mountain ranges. To ordinary people, this The area is huge, and the avenue is unimaginable, but to today's human race, this area is nothing. The current Shennong is still around Taihao City and has not yet left the scope of Taihao City.
As Shennong continued to taste the medicinal materials, the life essence in Shennong's belly became less and less. A quasi-saint-level life essence was completely wireless to ordinary people, but Shennong died too many times.
Shen Nong had to taste every poisonous weed to its limit. What symptoms would it cause after taking it? What would be its use after taking it? How long would it take for it to take effect? How would it take effect? What would be the use of combining it with other herbs? What would happen if you combined it with one kind or two kinds of it? How about three or four.
In this way, Shennong kept trying the medicine. As time went by, one Huiyuan, two Huiyuan... ten Huiyuan, hundreds of Huiyuan... ten thousand Huiyuan... .
Over time, the life essence in Shennong's body became less and less.
Of course, for such a long time, Shen Nong was not always trying everything. Sometimes when something big happened in the clan, Shaodian would come to ask Shen Nong and deal with it after discussing with Shen Nong.
Since Shennong never left the confines of Taihao City, all this was convenient.
On this day, Shennong was looking for the next herb to taste. Suddenly, there was a sound of shouting in the distance, and he saw a young girl coming out of the air. However, she was obviously a beginner and had almost no Taoism. After running a few steps, he fell crookedly to the ground and fell in front of Shennong.
The little girl grinned in pain, and Shen Nong also had a smile on his face when he saw this, and said with a smile:
"Little girl, don't be impatient, learn slowly and don't fall."
