Laozi, the Great Supreme Being

Chapter 285 The problem of herbal medicine Shennong swears an oath
  Human territory!

Seeing the rapid development of the human race, Shennong was filled with pride.

After all, now that he is the Human Emperor, the rise and fall of the Human Race is directly related to him. Once the Human Race becomes stronger, Shen Nong himself will benefit a lot. Therefore, Shen Nong is naturally very concerned about the Human Race!
  One day, while Shennong was surveying the people's sentiments in the tribal market, he suddenly heard several tribesmen talking.

A tribesman was heard sighing: "Hey, have you heard? The son of the leader of the tribe next door died! I heard that it was because he ate a grass that was very similar to grains, and he died in less than three days. , because of this incident, the clan leader of the tribe next door fell seriously ill, and now it seems that he may not be able to survive!"

"I heard about it, and this is not the first time this has happened. I remember a few days ago, a child was seriously ill and was dying, but because he accidentally ate a kind of grass, he recovered completely. Others saw this. , also followed suit one after another, but the result, alas!”

"Okay, don't discuss it anymore. There are too many facts like this. It's just that you don't know it. We are civilians and have no ability to change this situation. Therefore, we should be more careful to avoid this happening to us. Just leave it to us!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're right, let's just be more careful in the future!"

Listening to the discussion of these tribesmen, Shennong had a lot of thoughts in his mind!

In today's era, grains and weeds grow together, and medicines and flowers bloom together. No one can tell which grains are edible and which herbs can cure diseases.

If someone gets sores or diseases, there is no cure or cure. Even if he survives in the end, he will still have to shed his skin!
  Shen Nong saw the suffering of his people and felt pain in his heart.

How can the tribesmen distinguish between food and herbs?
  Shennong thought hard for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a solution.

On the fourth day, Shennong led a group of subjects and set out from Lishan, Suizhou, Chendu, towards the northwest mountains.

Time passed slowly, and gradually, Shennong and his group’s legs became swollen and their feet became calloused.

But despite this, Shennong and the others kept walking.

After walking for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, Shennong and others came to a place and stopped.

I saw here one peak after another, canyon after canyon, the mountains are covered with exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance can be smelled from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Shen Nong was overjoyed. Just as Shen Nong and others were preparing to continue investigating the environment, suddenly, a group of wolves, tigers and leopards emerged from the canyon and surrounded Shen Nong and the others. Looking at the countless wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in front of him, Shen Nong immediately asked his subjects to wave their whips and beat the beasts.

Soon, all the beasts were beaten away, but after one group was beaten away, another group immediately came up. The fight lasted for seven days and seven nights before Shen Nong and others drove away the beasts.

The scars on the tigers, leopards and pythons that were whipped out by the whips remained, until they later turned into markings on their skin.

The tigers and leopards were finally driven away, and Shennong was just about to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, the subjects rushed up again, saying that it was too dangerous here, and advised Shennong to go back.

Hearing what his subjects said, Shennong shook his head and said: "We can't go back! If we can't completely solve the problem of food and disease for our people, then what shame will I, Shennong, have to go back and meet my people!"

After saying that, Shennong took the lead into the canyon and came to the foot of a vast mountain.

Half of this mountain is inserted into the clouds, and is surrounded by knife-cut cliffs. There are waterfalls hanging on the cliffs, covered with moss and slippery, making people feel fearful at just one glance!
  The subjects again advised Shennong to forget it and go back as soon as possible.

Shen Nong shook his head: "We can't go back. If we can't completely solve the problem of food and disease for our people, then how can I, Shen Nong, have the face to go back and meet my people!"

As he spoke, Shennong stood on a small rocky mountain, facing the mountain, looking up, down, left, and right, thinking about a solution.

Later, people called the small peak at Shennong Station "Wangnong Pavilion".

Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now!

After thinking for a long time, Shen Nong finally came up with a solution. When Shen Nong saw several golden monkeys crawling along the ancient vines hanging high and the dead wood lying on the cliffside, he decided to imitate them.

Shen Nong called his subjects and asked them to chop wood poles and cut canes to build a frame against the cliff. They built one layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, no matter it was windy or rainy, or flying. The snow freezes and the work never stops. It took a whole year and 360 floors to reach the top of the mountain.
