Great Desolate Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 63 Shennong Tastes Herbs

Shennong has been in power for 35 years, and the human race has become more prosperous and powerful.

The capital city of the human race, inside the conference hall.

"Common Lord, in recent years, our human race has had a higher and higher death rate from disease. If it continues, it will cause panic among the tribe sooner or later!" An elder of the human race said with a serious expression and worried expression: "This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible." Solve it, otherwise once the disease gets worse, it will be difficult to control and the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Well! The elder is right, but I don't know how to solve it?" Shen Nong frowned, his face was rather ugly, and asked: "Do you have a good solution?"

Everyone was silent for a while, obviously they were helpless about this, there was no solution, they were helpless.Only one old man frowned, as if thinking of something, but then his eyes dimmed again.

"Elder Hengshan, have you thought of something?" The old man's expression changed, just in time for Shennong to see him, and Shennong called out hastily: "Elder, why don't you tell me?"

"In the early years, a member of the tribe got sick and accidentally ate wild grass in the mountains, and he recovered. The well-informed name has a deep prestige in the human race. He showed a look of reminiscence on his face, and continued: "But later, someone fell ill and died immediately after eating this herb. I later learned that most of the herbs in the mountains are poisonous. , even if it is effective, it is only for individual diseases.”

"Oh, that's how it is!" Shennong frowned slightly, thinking for a long time, and said helplessly: "This matter still needs to be discussed, everyone go back first, and I will ask the teacher to see if he can do anything."

At the end of the meeting, Shennong came to Taoist Duobao's residence in the human race, and asked Taoist Duobao for advice.

"Well! What Elder Hengshan said is the only way, the best way." Taoist Duobao frowned after hearing Shennong's narration, and said: "Ordinary people can rely on herbal medicines to cure diseases. If the properties and effects of herbal medicines are different, You can taste it yourself, and then record its shape, name, and efficacy."

Daoist Duobao's answer made Shennong stunned and shocked!

"What? How is this possible?" Shen Nong couldn't help but screamed.

If you taste it yourself, wouldn't you die from poisoning?But immediately, Shennong's eyes lit up, revealing a look of determination.

If it can help the human race out of the predicament, what about poisoning?What does it matter if you die?
For the sake of the tribe, for the sake of the future generations of the human race, the descendants will continue to plan, and there will be no regrets in death!

"Hehe!" Daoist Duobao chuckled, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have taught you the method of cultivating immortals these years. Although you are busy with human affairs and have little time to practice, fortunately you have good aptitude and have already cultivated the immortal way As a result, ordinary herbal toxins can no longer harm lives."

With that said, Taoist Duobao waved his hand again, and a magic whip appeared in front of Shennong.Shen Nong looked at it, and saw that the whip was one foot and five inches long. Although it was dark, it exuded a bright color all over its body, obviously it was not an ordinary thing!

"Master, this is it." Shennong asked curiously.

"The function of this magical whip is to identify the poison of plants and trees. After you refine it, you can use it to test for poison. If the poison of the herb is beyond your tolerance, it will emit a black light. These herbs are useless to the human race, so you can discard them." Duobao The Taoist explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Master, Shennong!" Shennong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he bowed deeply to Taoist Duobao and said solemnly.

Taoist Duobao didn't speak, just looked at Shennong with a smile.

The change in Shennong's expression just now naturally fell into the eyes of Taoist Duobao, and he couldn't help but secretly nodded, feeling relieved in his heart.Shennong deserves to be the Emperor of God, for the development of the race, he stood up, no matter how difficult it is, he dared to be the first in the world!

"How can such a human race not be strong?" Daoist Duobao cried inwardly.

Shennong, who had made up his mind, left Taoist Duobao's residence and returned to the human race to discuss with the elders.

Human race hall.

"What, try a hundred herbs?" an elder exclaimed.

"This is absolutely impossible, you will be poisoned to death."

"Yes."

When Shennong spoke his mind, the crowd burst into an uproar and exclaimed in surprise.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Elder Hengshan shouted suddenly, calmed everyone down, stood up and said, "Master, you need to think twice about this matter. The king will not do anything without reason, and will not cause disaster without reason. Besides, the human race The business depends on you, if there is a mistake, the human race will be in chaos!"

"Elder Hengshan is right, co-lord, don't be reckless." Everyone tried to persuade them, but Shennong still looked determined!

Obviously, the thoughts in my heart have never wavered!

"You don't need to talk too much, I have made up my mind!" Shen Nong stopped everyone's persuasion, and said firmly: "This is not a nonsense, I am the co-lord of the human race, and it is my bounden duty to make a small sacrifice for the development of the human race. To solve the crisis of the human race, Shennong would spare his life!"

"The Great Virtue of Shen Nong!"

Everyone in the hall also knew that it was useless to persuade them, they all bowed deeply and shouted in unison.

The next day, Shennong handed over the affairs of the human race to several reliable elders to ensure that Shennong was not in this period of time, and the human race would continue to operate as usual.Then, accompanied by Elder Hengshan and dozens of innate guards, he left the human capital and stepped into the deep mountains.

From then on, I traveled all over the mountains and dense forests, poor villages and remote areas, ate all the medicines of plants and trees, and tasted countless poisons.Shennong divided the herbs he had eaten into poisonous and non-toxic, and recorded their efficacy and specific taking methods so that the tribe could distinguish them.

Holding the magic whip along the way, Shennong traveled all over the human tribes.

One day he discovered a kind of leaf that can detoxify, so he collected many leaves, let the guards carry them, and named it "Cha".

Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs and was often poisoned. Many times it was thanks to "cha" to help him detoxify and relieve pain.Shennong walked like this, tasting all kinds of herbs along the way.It took a full ten years before he returned to the Lieshan Tribe.

Along the way, he has tasted as many as 39 kinds of flowers, grasses, roots, and leaves.Even once, he suddenly found a vine-like plant climbing on a tree, with small flowers blooming, green leaves, and shining brightly. He was so surprised that he forgot to use the magic whip to test the poison, so he took it The leaves are chewed in the mouth.

Shennong screamed miserably and rolled on the ground in pain. Beads of sweat dripped down his face, his face was grim and painful.

"Not good, quickly use "cha" to detoxify." Elder Heng Shan was shocked and shouted hastily.The guard took out "cha" and fed it to Shennong, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Shennong's condition not only did not ease, but became more painful, and there was another burst of howls, with an unbearable look and a hideous look.Everyone was in a hurry again, but there was still nothing they could do.Finally, Shennong finally couldn't bear the torture, and passed out in pain.

"Hey! Why bother." With a long sigh, Taoist Duobao, who was hidden at the side, appeared, stepped closer, took out a elixir, and fed it to Shennong.

Three days later, when Shennong woke up, he realized that his master had been secretly following and protecting him for ten years, so he couldn't help being even more grateful to Taoist Duobao.

After returning to the tribe, Shennong began to retreat, sorting out the harvest along the way!Shennong retreated for five years this time, but during these five years, something happened that he regretted.

It turned out that he had a daughter named Nvwa, who was lively and cheerful.Because Shennong is often busy with human affairs, the girl feels very lonely.One day, the girl went to the sea to play, but was submerged by a huge wave set off by the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea. She drowned and died, never to return.

With unyielding resentment and undying will, she turned into a divine bird with a tattooed head, white beak, and bare feet, named Jingwei. It often carried wood and stones from the Western Mountains in its mouth and threw them into the sea, intending to fill up the Eastern Sea.

The daughter of the co-lord of the human race was drowned, which is no small matter.Because of this incident, the relationship between the human race and the dragon race deteriorated for a while. If there hadn't been a covenant, war would have almost started.Although the human race is not afraid, once they fight, they will suffer huge losses.

"Pfft!" Shennong came out of the gate, and when he found out about this, he spurted blood from his mouth in grief, and shouted, "Daughter, it's all about the father's fault."

Then, Shennong fainted!

When he finally woke up, Shennong stopped the war between the human race and the dragon race.After this incident, Shennong was disheartened. After handing down the "Shennong Baicao Jing" written by him, he announced that he was about to abdicate.

Later, after a lot of searching and investigation, Shennong decided to pass it on to the Xiong tribe, Xuanyuan!
