Honghuang: I, Haotian, will never abdicate

Chapter 63 Shennong Tastes Herbs

During the 30 years of Shennong's reign, the human race prospered and developed. With sufficient food, the population almost doubled.

One day, the leaders of several tribes rushed to the capital to meet the Lord Shennong.

"Master, help!" the leaders of several tribes cried out when they saw Shennong.

Shennong heard that the leaders of several tribes were crying for help, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Is there not enough food? Or is there a natural disaster?"

"It's not food shortages, nor natural disasters. It's just that many people in the tribe got sick, coughed, and felt hot. They died within three days." A tribal leader explained the reason while crying.

The leader of another tribe also immediately said, "Master, our tribe collected some brightly colored mushrooms to eat, but who would have thought that after eating the mushrooms, all of them would have diarrhea and pale faces, and dozens of tribesmen could not bear it. died."

Shennong's face immediately changed when he heard this, "The food problem that has plagued the human race for many years has been solved, but the disease still plagues the human race. I heard that a few human races died after eating poisonous food in the wild, but this time it turned out to be the responsibility of the entire tribe. They are all poisoned!"

"Common Lord, what should we do?" The leaders of several tribes were panicked for a while. If a person was sick or poisoned, it could only be due to his bad luck, but now it is the whole tribe!
If it is not resolved as soon as possible, it will be a disaster for a tribe!

Listening to the words of the leaders, Shennong frowned tightly, and there was no good solution for a while...

Several leaders saw that the co-lord was thinking, and they were extremely anxious. If there was no way, no one in the tribe would be spared.

At this time, an old man of the human race in the meeting hall seemed to have thought of something, and there was a light in his eyes, and he hesitated to speak.

Naturally, Shennong noticed the old man's expression, so he quickly asked, "Does the elder have any thoughts?"

The old man nodded and recalled his childhood, "Master, I was weak and sick when I was a child, and I often fell ill. That time I got sick and my body was hot for two days. Almost all the poor people said I couldn't survive, but my mother didn't give up on me." , went to the mountains to gather wild grass, boiled it for me to drink, and I survived."

After hearing this, Shen Nong was overjoyed, "Elder, could it be that the weeds you ate back then can cure coughs and fever?"

The old man's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head, "After I recovered, someone in the clan fell ill, and their mother also went to the mountains to find weeds, boiled them and drank them."

Shen Nong hurriedly asked, "How?"

"In less than half an hour, he died from poison."

"Since then, the tribe has regarded me as lucky and strong enough to survive, but I can clearly remember when I was sick. At that time, I was cold and hot for a while, and I was extremely painful, but after drinking I Mother's wild grass water, I feel warm all over..."

Shennong's face darkened again, and he thought for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid most of the herbs in the mountains are poisonous, and even if they are effective, they are only for individual diseases..."

The old man nodded.

"Do you still remember the appearance of that herbal medicine?" Shennong asked with a hint of hope.

The old man nodded, "Don't dare to forget the life-saving herbs!"

"That's great, this herb is probably effective for most people, so you can go back with them, go to the mountain, find the herb, make soup, hope it will be useful..." Shen Nong immediately ordered.

"Yes, co-lord!"

Rescue is urgent, the old man didn't dare to delay, he went back with them immediately.

At this time, the tribe that eats poisonous mushrooms has no medicine to solve...

Shennong thought for a long time before he said seriously, "There must be an antidote for poison. You can let your tribe try all the plants near the mushroom growth environment. Maybe you will die immediately if you encounter a huge poison, but this is the best thing in front of you." As long as you try the right herbal medicine, you can save most of the clansmen!"

The tribal leader nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, co-lord!"

After the meeting in the Great Hall of Discussion was over, Shennong felt very heavy. There were still so many clansmen who could not be saved by themselves, and would die in vain...

Shennong felt depressed, always feeling like he wanted to do something, but he didn't know where to start.

Shen Nong was walking, but accidentally came to the place where the teacher lived, and immediately went in to meet the teacher.

Shen Nong once again explained to Liu Er the problems encountered by the human race this time. After listening to Shen Nong's words, Liu Er scratched his palm, "My teacher has a magical object called Sanguang Shenshui, which has the effect of living dead and white bones. , if I can steal... by the way, I will definitely save the lives of the entire human race."

Shen Nong heard that his teacher was going to steal the gods of the ancestors, so he immediately shook his head and said, "Teacher, this is a temporary solution after all, not the root cause. Our human race will still be helpless when we encounter diseases in the future..."

Liu Er listened to Shen Nong's words, and nodded seriously, "Tu'er is right, the Sanguang Shenshui is a sacred object, even ordinary Daluo Jinxian doesn't have it..."

Listening to the teacher's words, Shennong's heart suddenly trembled, "Yes, the gods have the medicine of the gods, so my human race also has ordinary herbs. If I try the herbal medicine myself, I will record its shape, name, and efficacy, and use it in the future. Isn't that all right?"

The more Shennong thought about it, the more feasible he felt, so he immediately told the teacher his idea.

After hearing this, Liu Er also praised one after another, "As expected of a good apprentice of mine, he thinks the same as his master!"

But then Liu Er said again, "Although we both think the same, this is not very feasible. There are thousands of strong poisons in the mountain, not to mention tasting them one by one, just one is enough to kill you."

Listening to the teacher's words, Shen Nong showed determination in his eyes, "If you can help the human race out of the predicament, so what if you die from poisoning?"

For the prosperity of the human race, and for the protection of tens of millions of human race from diseases and poisonous weeds, Shen Nong died without regret!
"Besides, I have cultivated into a fairyland, and ordinary poisonous herbs can't hurt me. If I accidentally eat highly toxic herbs, please save me..."

Seeing that his disciple persisted, Liu Er couldn't stop him, so he could only support him with all his strength, "Don't worry, apprentice, with the teacher around, I will definitely protect you!"

The next day, after Shen Nong arranged things, he left the capital and went to the wild.

Every time Shennong tasted a herbal medicine, he would record its shape, efficacy, and personal feelings...

So Shennong tried a hundred kinds of herbal medicines, and most of them felt uncomfortable, but with his cultivation in the fairyland, he was able to force out the poison...

But there are more than ten thousand kinds of herbs in the wild. On this day, Shennong finally encountered a poisonous herb.

After taking it, I only feel that my internal organs are about to explode, which is a heart-wrenching pain!

This herb is called Heartbroken Grass!

Fortunately, Liuer felt that Shennong was rescued with Sanguang Shenshui in time, and gave Shennong a magic whip!

There was a faint smile on the corner of Liu Er's mouth, "Hehe, this magic whip has neither killing nor defense. It only has one function, which is to test for poison. The poison will be displayed on this magic whip. You just need to record it."

This magic whip was borrowed by Liu Er from an immortal in heaven...

Shennong was shocked when he heard the words, "There is such a god in the world!"

In the remaining years, Shennong traveled across mountains and ridges, almost everywhere, tasted tens of thousands of herbs, and recorded their medicinal properties.

"Haha, when I go back and sum up my experience and pass it on, the human race will have no worries..."

But at this moment, in a small tribe, a plainly dressed ascetic monk opened his eyes with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
