Chapter 54 Shennong planted grains, Fuxi sought talents

But Lieshan clan knelt down and became a disciple. The Holy Mother Jinling smiled and helped him up and said, "Since you have become a disciple, you should know the name of being a teacher. The name of the Holy Mother Jinling is the disciple of the Qingtongtian Sect on Penglai Island. You are the first disciple of the master of the master."

When Lieshan heard this, he was surprised. He never thought that the master he had worshipped accidentally was a saint disciple. However, Lieshan immediately became happy. He thought that all the saint disciples were people with profound knowledge and great supernatural powers. In this way, they could naturally help solve the troubles of the human race. Therefore, Lieshan was very happy and hoped to learn the method of saving the human race from the teacher.

The Holy Mother Jin Ling nodded slightly, and she was very happy. She felt that Lieshan was willing to serve the people, so she calculated for her. After calculating, she was shocked and never thought that Lieshan was the human emperor she was looking for. The Holy Mother Jin Ling tempted her and was even more satisfied with the performance of Lieshan, so she took the martyr away.

So, the two of them said a few more words, and the Lieshan family took the Holy Mother Jinling back to the Jiang tribe. Since then, the Holy Mother Jinling has stayed here, teaching the Lieshan family some common sense, and often preached to the Lieshan family. In this way, the Lieshan family gradually grew up and became an adult.

On this day, the Holy Mother of Jinling summoned Lieshan and said that there was something to be ordered. Lieshan did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried to wait. He heard the Holy Mother of Jinling say lightly: "Lieshan, you have a great opportunity in the future and become a relationship with plants and trees. Today, I will change your name to Shennong. I hope you will seize the opportunity in the future and grasp it well." Lieshan heard it and knelt down to the Holy Mother of Jinling. Since then, Lieshan has changed its name to Shennong.

However, since Fuxi taught fishing and hunting and set the rules that no intermarriage among relatives, the human race has suffered less and less casualties in the fight with wild animals. As they ate more meat, the physical constitution of newborn babies has been greatly enhanced, and more survival than before. However, this brings another big problem, that is, food, the number of people has increased over the decades, and fishing and hunting alone can no longer meet the needs of the tribe.

However, the fewer birds that can be beaten in the sky are beaten, and fewer beasts that can be shot on the ground are beaten, but the food they get is difficult to cover their stomachs. How can we solve the problem of people's food? It has become another major test faced by the human race.

Shennong was thinking about this issue as early as a child. After he became a disciple of the Holy Mother of Jinling, he also asked the Holy Mother of Jinling about this matter and saw what solution he had. However, the Holy Mother of Jinling kept refusing, saying that the opportunity had not come, and Shennong had no choice but to wait slowly.

Now, Shennong has grown up and thought hard every day to solve the problem of human food. He has racked his brains, but he has not come up with a good way to solve the survival problem of increasing numbers of humans. On this day, Shennong sat outside the house again, thinking about how to solve the problem of insufficient food. But after thinking for a long time, there is no way.

At this moment, a red bird flew from the sky, holding a colorful Jiuzhe Valley in its mouth, and flew in the sky and flew over Shennong's head, Jiuzhe Valley fell to the ground. When Shennong saw it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and thought, "Since birds can feed on plants, can that person be the same?"

Shennong thought for a while, then went up to pick up Jiusuigu, and ran to the place where the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was. After a while, Shennong saw the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and hurriedly said, "Go to the teacher. Today, I saw birds feed on plants. I suddenly had a whim. I wonder if people from the human race can also eat these plants?" After that, he picked up Jiusuigu in his hand and let the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit see.

The Holy Mother of Jinling glanced at Jiusui Valley in Shennong's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, plant it in the soil and irrigate it with water. When it matures, the human race can eat it."

Shennong was very happy and hurriedly returned to the tribe, found a piece of open space, buried Jiushui Valley in the soil, Shennong took care of him carefully every day, and fostered him with water as the Holy Mother of Jinling. Later, a piece of Jiushui Valley grew here. Seeing this, Shennong rubbed the ears in his hands and put them in his mouth. He felt delicious and was overjoyed.

So, Shennong hurriedly taught his own people to his clan members. Many clan members didn't believe it at first, so with a try attitude, they planted it according to Shennong's words and got a lot of food. The human race was overjoyed. So, under the leadership of Shennong, more people cut down trees, cut off weeds, and used production tools such as axes, hoes, and plows to reclaim the land and plant millet.

After all, millet only solves part of the human race's problems. It is not enough to truly solve the human food troubles. Shennong naturally knows this truth. After some thought, Shennong got inspired by millet. Millet can be planted every year and continuously. If more plants and trees can be selected for human use and planted in a variety of ways, isn't everyone's food problem solved?

At this time, grains and weeds grow together, herbs and flowers bloom together, and no one can tell which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten. Shennong tasted them the same and tried them the same. For this reason, Shennong often accidentally ate poisonous things. If it weren't for the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, he would have died long ago.

However, Shennong's repeated attempts finally came to fruition. Among the many plants, Shennong's five grains selected by rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, and beans, so later generations respected him as the "Five Grain Master" and the "Gong Emperor".

After the Shennong clan members planted grains, their lives began to improve, but the weather changes were not under the jurisdiction of the human race, and irrigation of grains became the biggest problem. Sometimes when encountering natural disasters, the grains in the ground would be inadequate. So, Shennong began to think about how to solve the problem of water source. After thinking for a long time, there was no harvest, so he could only ask the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit again.

Seeing the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, Shennong expressed his troubles, and then looked at the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit in anticipation. The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit looked at Shennong's expectant eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "The water source is not only in the rivers and seas, there is also water source in the underground." After that, he closed his eyes and practiced again.

When Shennong heard this, he was a little confused. However, after seeing the Holy Mother of Jinling, he had already wandered in Taixu and did not dare to disturb him anymore. He stood up and returned to the tribe. After returning to the tribe, Shennong carefully thought about the Holy Mother of Jinling. After a while, Shennong found several young and strong people in the tribe and began to dig on a piece of open space. When he was digging five feet down, suddenly, a big water surged out from the ground. Shennong was overjoyed when he saw this, so he promoted this method to the tribe, and taught his tribe to dig wells and draw water to irrigate the crops.

In this way, the Jiang tribe gradually became stronger, and some tribes around also joined the Jiang tribe. The scale of the Jiang tribe also expanded again and again. The Shennong family's reputation also spread. For a moment, the Shennong family became famous among the human race.

Not long after, Fuxi, who was far away in Chendu, also heard about Shennong's actions and was very interested in him. This person actually solved the food problem that he was suffering from and thought hard but could not solve. It seemed that he must be a true sage.

At this time, Fuxi was already old. After creating the Eight Trigrams, Fuxi knew that he had achieved great merits and was afraid that he would not have much time to stay in the human race. So Fuxi also began to look for people who could inherit himself and become the co-lord of the human race. Now that he knew Shennong, he decided to meet him and see if Shennong was devoted to the human race and whether he was qualified to become the new co-lord of the human race.

So Fuxi set out from Chendu and left for the Jiang tribe. When the people of the Jiang tribe learned that Fuxi, the human race, came to his own tribe, were a little excited and glorious. After all, after years of cultivation, the human race has gradually recovered its vitality. There are many tribes, not ten thousand or eight thousand. There are not many tribes of Fuxi, the human race, who has been to, so the people of the Jiang tribe will feel honored.

Fuxi met Shennong in the Jiang tribe. After Shennong met Fuxi, Fuxi pulled Shennong aside. While asking him some questions about governing the tribe, he observed him. After a few questions and answers, Fuxi was very satisfied. Shennong was indeed a great sage. He was not inferior to himself in his opinion on governing the tribe. He even had a better time.

At this moment, Fuxi said to Shennong: "Shennong, I never thought that you have a lot of experience in governing the human race. So let me go back to Chendu. Now I am old and have long been unable to do anything about the human race. When you are familiar with the human race, I will abdicate the position of the common ruler to you, hoping that you can lead the human race to live a better life in the future."

When Shennong heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Shennong is a farmer. How can he be the common ruler of the human race? It is better to choose another talented person. Shennong may not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility."

Fuxi smiled slightly and said, "Haha, you are too humble. The food of the human race has always been a big problem that has troubled the human race. Even I have not come up with any solution in recent years. Now that this matter has been solved by you, what a great contribution to the human race! It can be seen that your abilities are no less than me, so you don't have to shirk it." Shennong heard this and was frightened. Then, seeing that Fuxi's attitude was extremely firm, Shennong thought about it and agreed to return to Chendu with Fuxi and take over the position of co-rule of the human race.

Before leaving, Shennong thought of the Holy Mother of Jinling, so he went to say goodbye to him, with a sad expression. The Holy Mother of Jinling looked at Shennong and smiled and said, "You don't have to do this, you can go there by yourself. You will soon arrive at Chendu to see you again." Shennong was overjoyed when he heard this. He had no scruples in his heart. After returning to the tribe, he rushed to Chendu with Fuxi.
