126, taste a hundred herbs
Shennong worked hard to promote agricultural planting in the human race. In the future, he no longer planted a separate species of 'ji', but also used some plants that the human race often collected for planting. Several of them are called the most important crops, namely
Hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot. These five main crops are called "grains". The remaining crops grown are called "miscellaneous grains".
Although Shen Nong vigorously promoted agricultural planting, which greatly alleviated the current situation of human food shortage, it still failed to completely solve the problem of food shortage.
This is mainly because the agricultural level at this time was too low, and people did not know when to plant what crops. They just planted them for granted, and there was no such thing as management.
This results in some crops not being planted at the proper time and not growing at all. Even if they grow, they fail to mature, resulting in a waste of effort but no harvest.
Although some crops were planted at the right time, they were not managed at all and the weeds outgrew the crops, resulting in too little harvest from the planted crops.
It is precisely because of these various problems that although the food shortage of the human race has been greatly alleviated, it has still not been completely solved. This requires further progress in agricultural technology.
As the leader of the human race, Emperor Yan Shennong walked among various tribes of the human race. Looking at the existing problems, he became anxious and thought about solutions to the problems day and night.
While thinking, he once again remembered what Xun Daozi said: "If you have any doubts, think more about what you have seen in the past ten years or so!" Over and over again in his mind, he recalled what Xun Daozi led him to walk and observe in the wild land.
His mind gradually recalled the changes of the four seasons that Xun Daozi led him to observe, the ebb and flow of tides, the growth and decline of vegetation, the movement of the sun, and the waxing and waning of the moon.
Shennong kept thinking about the observations he had made under the guidance of Xun Daozi for more than ten years in his mind. At this time, what appeared most in his mind were various phenomena related to natural seasons. Although Shennong did not know that these were things related to seasons, he could
He vaguely felt that as long as he thought clearly about what came to his mind, he would definitely make a big step forward in promoting agricultural cultivation and further solve the problem of human food shortage.
Guided by what he recalled in his mind, Shennong observed again and carefully figured out the changes in the natural phenomena around him. After several years, he finally roughly defined the concepts of 'year', 'month' and 'day', and roughly divided the year into
The four seasons are 'spring', 'summer', 'autumn' and 'winter'; December has about thirty days per month.
After careful observation over the past few years, I have roughly figured out the growth rules of the crops planted, and figured out the simple planting rules of spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage.
Shennong spent several years formulating a simple calendar to guide agricultural production.
With this guidance, human agriculture has made great progress, and some simple agricultural management methods have gradually been developed in production. Food production has made great progress, and the problem of food shortage has been truly and gradually solved. And due to the calendar
Through use, some solar terms have gradually developed. With the emergence of these solar terms, people often hold some sacrificial activities when these solar terms arrive. As a result, some special festivals have appeared for sacrifice, prayer, and celebration.
The human race once again ushered in a prosperous era of great development, and the name of Shennong was even more popular among people.
The human race’s food problem has been solved, but another major dilemma still plagues the development of the human race. That is ‘disease’.
When Shen Nong saw that his tribesmen were injured, he had no choice but to hold on. When he was sick, he could only drag on. There was nothing he could do. Many people died in pain like this.
No matter the elderly, children, or young adults, as long as they are injured or sick, death is usually waiting for them. Even a small disease will cause the loss of life. Can you truly live to old age without disaster or pain?
There are too few people.
Faced with this dilemma, Shennong, who was looking for solutions in many ways, finally remembered Xun Daozi's parting words: "If you have any doubts, think more about what you have seen in the past ten years!"...
Shennong tried his best to recall what he had seen in those years. As he tried to recall, Shennong remembered that Xun Daozi had led him many times to watch wild beasts fighting, and how the beasts after the battle would find some inconspicuous flowers and plants to swallow or crush and smear on them.
Wound.
When Shen Nong recalled this scene, his heart seemed to light up, and he seemed to have found a way to solve the plight of the human race.
Shen Nong went into the mountains excitedly to look for the flowers and plants that he had seen in his memory being swallowed by wild beasts and smearing their wounds!
After an arduous trek in the mountains, he actually found some flowers and plants that he had seen back then. Shennong carefully dug these flowers and plants back, and they were like treasures.
When Shen Nong returned to the tribe, he happened to see some tribesmen returning from hunting. Two of them were injured and were carried back by their companions. Everyone looked gloomy and miserable. The two injured people even looked lifeless and full of life.
Face desperate.
When Shen Nong saw this, he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. He walked quickly to the crowd and lowered his head to look at the tribesmen being carried by his companions. He saw that the wounds torn by wild beasts on their bodies were bloody and bloody.
The desperate expressions of the two men made Shen Nong even more heartbroken.
After watching for a while, Shen Nong picked out a few plants from the flowers and plants he brought back from the mountains based on the memories of the injured beasts. He held them in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind.
The flowers and plants were crushed and applied to the wounds of the two of them. The tribesmen nearby watched Shennong's manipulations silently, with doubtful looks in their eyes.
After some troubles, Shennong asked the tribesmen to send the two injured tribesmen back and ordered the good people to take care of them. He returned to his house with a heavy heart. After a long time, his eyes showed determination. He put aside the sorrow and seriously took care of the two tribesmen.
I separated the flowers and plants, imagining that those were swallowed by the beasts I saw in my memory, and those were smeared.
Two days later, people were surprised to find that the two injured tribesmen did not have their injuries worsened, but seemed much more energetic.
The tribesmen who took care of them happily came to tell Shennong, and Shennong also rushed to visit the two injured tribesmen in surprise. Seeing that there were indeed signs of improvement, he became more confident in using various flowers and plants to heal the tribesmen's injuries and illnesses.
Soon, the two tribesmen miraculously recovered, and the whole tribe was in joy. People even worshiped Shennong as a god.
Soon someone in the tribe had abdominal pain and went to look for Shennong. Shennong thought about the kind of flower and grass that the beast in his memory swallowed. Shennong found the grass and let the tribesman with abdominal pain eat it. But the next day, the tribesman
Just die.
Shennong felt extremely regretful and felt that he had killed his people.
After that, some tribesmen fell ill again, but Shennong did not dare to give those tribesmen those flowers and herbs. However, some sick tribesmen could not bear the pain and begged Shennong to take those flowers and herbs with them.
At the request of these tribesmen, Shen Nong had to feed them the flowers and herbs he had found. Some of the sick tribesmen who drank the flowers and herbs became healthy again, while others died.
Shen Nong was extremely distressed. These flowers and plants could indeed cure the diseases of the tribesmen, but it was difficult to figure out how to use them. Faced with various illnesses of the tribesmen, they did not know how to use these flowers and plants. If they were used correctly, the disease would be cured; if they were used incorrectly, a life would be lost.
Just come to the end.
Every time when facing a tribesman who was in pain, Shen Nong didn't know whether to feed him or her the grass he found. Every time he reluctantly gave it to him or her, he suffered endless torment in his heart.
Shen Nong recalled every moment of his time with Xun Daozi again and again, hoping to find some solution to the problem, but he could never find any clues to the problem.
The helpless Shennong saw his tribesmen struggling in pain, and the torment and pain in his heart was unspeakable. Seeing the tribesmen who had not received effective treatment and died in pain, Shennong secretly determined to find a way to correctly take the medicinal herbs.
method.….
On this day, Shen Nong was sitting on a stone pier with a solemn expression, his eyes shining with an inexplicable light. There were some flowers and plants he had found on a stone table in front of him.
After a while, Shennong picked up a piece of grass, seemed to have made a lot of determination, pinched off a piece of grass, put it gently into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and the light in his eyes changed.
Finally, Shennong chewed and swallowed the whole grass, sat upright on the stone pier, closed his eyes, and seemed to feel the changes in the grass he had eaten in his stomach.
In this way, Shennong devoured all kinds of flowers and plants he found, and carefully experienced the changes in his body after eating the flowers and plants and the feelings of his body.
Sometimes the grass he eats makes him feel like he is being burned by fire, sometimes the grass he eats makes him feel like he has fallen into an ice cave, sometimes the grass he eats makes his stomach feel like a knife, and sometimes it makes him have diarrhea like leaking water???
???
Fortunately, Shen Nong was physically strong, and the flowers and plants he found at this time were not poisonous, so he endured all kinds of pain. He also recorded the characteristics of these flowers and plants, and understood the physical changes they could cause.
Shen Nong tasted herbal medicine for the first time. Although he survived with a strong body, he was still weak for a long time before he recovered.
After recovering, Shen Nong seemed to use the properties of the flowers and plants he had mastered to give them to the sick members of his tribe in a targeted manner, and the effect was much better. However, there were still many diseases for which there was no cure, and none of the flowers and plants he found could cure those diseases.
Yes, the flowers and plants you control can only help a few diseases.
Shennong felt that he still needed to master the characteristics of more types of flowers and plants in order to truly solve the pain and suffering of human beings. However, the only beasts he had ever seen swallowed used plants were these. How could he master more?
Plant traits can better treat illnesses and injuries of tribesmen?
Shen Nong thought about it, but there was no other way. Only by tasting them in person could he truly understand the plants and find plants suitable for treating diseases of his tribe.
Shen Nong thought clearly, picked up a stick, and resolutely stepped into the great mountains to taste all kinds of flowers and plants for himself to find plants that could cure diseases and save people.
Here Shen Nong stepped into the Ten Thousand Mountains. Xun Daozi, who was meditating and wandering in the Xun Dao Mountain, opened his eyes and said to himself: "The 'Emperor of the Earth' is about to return to his throne, but we still have to save him and help him!"
Immediately, Xundaozi sent out a message. (To be continued.
