After a while, the food was ready. The young man took a bunch and handed it to Shennong, and then gave another bunch to Song Xing. Finally, he took a bunch and ate it hungrily.
Perhaps because he was full of energy in the wilderness, Song Xing tasted the barbecue in his hand and found that it was delicious and indeed good.
After finishing the meal, Shen Nong looked at Song Xing and the boy and asked with a smile: "Don't you know the names of these two little friends?"
"My name is Song Xing."
"My name is Tuoba Ye, senior, what is your name?"
Shennong smiled and said, "My name is Shennong."
At this time, the setting sun has long been swallowed up by the mountains, there are faint stars in the blue night sky, and the evening breeze is cool. The three of them were sitting on the top of the Nanji Mountain, chatting. Beneath the mountains, the sound of the waves was faint, surrounded by strange flowers and plants, and waves of pines and waves, it was like a fairyland.
Shennong felt that his whole body was getting colder and stiffer again, and his feet could no longer move in an instant. He knew that in less than an hour, they would turn into hard stone. He looked at Song Xing and said, "You two little friends, I have a favor for you. I wonder if you can agree?"
He had already seen that Tuoba Ye had no real energy at all. Although he said that he trusted the two of them, in fact, it was Song Xing who really placed his hope.
Song Xing looked at the Shennong family who was getting more and more lifeless in front of him, thought for a while, nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter."
Tuoba Ye knew that Shennong's time limit was approaching. He was kind-hearted and couldn't help feeling sad. He puffed up his chest and said, "Senior, don't worry. No matter what, I will definitely do it."
Shennong took out a purple wooden plaque from his waist. There were three big characters on the front: Divine Wood Order; on the back, a line of small characters: Seeing this divine order, it is like the emperor is coming in person.
Tuoba Ye didn't know much about the Chinese characters, and when he first arrived in Song Dynasty, he didn't know that it was a token of the God Emperor. Once this card was played, no one in China ninety thousand miles away would dare to follow it.
The Shennong clan became invincible more than two hundred years ago, slaying demons and demons, and was regarded as the emperor by the five major tribes of the wilderness.
After reigning for fifty years, the world was in great order, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the five tribes and 480 cities returned home.
After that, Shennong left the City of the Divine Emperor and traveled around the world alone, gathering herbs in search of the elixir of immortality. For more than a hundred years, his whereabouts were erratic, followed by the head and tail of the dragon.
There are rumors that the God Emperor gave medicine to save people from time to time. As long as Shen Nong is still alive, the world will be peaceful and peaceful, and it will be governed by inaction.
Even Shennong himself did not expect that he would be on the top of the mountain in the south of the East China Sea, where all the poisons in his body would burst out and emerge. Before his death, he could only entrust the last thing to Song Xing and Tuoba Ye, who they met for the first time.
Shennong said solemnly: "My friend, this matter is of great importance. If something goes wrong, hundreds of thousands of people will be harmed by weapons."
While talking, Shen Nong tore off a piece of clothing, bit off his index finger, wrote a few lines in blood on the cloth, then wrapped the wooden sign in the blood book, folded it and handed it to Song Xing.
"You must send this wooden sign and blood book to Yuping Mountain in the southwest and give it to a man named Qingdi, and ask him to arrive at Mirage City within seven days."
Song Xing took the blood book, looked at the blood stains on the cloth, and said, "Can a war be stopped by the delivery of the blood book?"
He became more and more curious about the identity of the Shennong family. In the ancient times, it was supposed to be still in the chaotic era of tribal conquests. Before the Yellow Emperor unified the tribal alliance, sown hundreds of grains and trees, made clothes, crowns, boats, chariots, and music, he seemed to be a free-for-all. state.
But looking at the God Emperor's Token in his hand, it seems that there are clear rules of order in this wilderness. The Shennong clan in front of him has extremely high prestige in the wilderness. He can stop it with just a token and a blood letter. A war.
Shennong looked into Song Xing's eyes and sighed: "Let's do our best. If I am still alive, I will naturally have the confidence to stop this war. When I go to Yuping Mountain and Mirage City, it is best not to announce my death. In this case , the Shui Tribe who started the war may be afraid of my reputation and may not dare to start a war."
Song Xing nodded: "I understand."
Tuoba Ye on the side asked Song Xing what he was thinking: "Senior, where are Yuping Mountain and Mirage City?"
He has been wandering in the wilderness since he was a child. Although he has traveled to many places, he is really unfamiliar with the vast wilderness. As for Song Xing, as a foreigner, he naturally has no right to speak.
Shen Nong was not surprised when he heard this. The wilderness was vast, wild beasts were rampant, and most of the people lived in cities. It was difficult for those without superb martial arts to travel far.
He took out three books from his arms and handed them to the two of them respectively.
Song Xing looked down and saw that the book in his hand was called "Five Elements Manual", while the book in Tuoba Ye's hand was "Da Huang Jing" and "Baicao Zhu".
Shennong said to Tuoba Ye: "The Great Wilderness Sutra records the geographical location of more than 700 mountains and 480 cities in the Great Wilderness, as well as the strange flowers and plants, as well as demons and beasts. The "Baicao Note" records the strange flowers in the world. Different herbs, with attributes and effects, are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing."
Seeing that Tuoba Ye was quite knowledgeable about herbal medicine, he gave the Baicao Note to the young man.
Then he looked at Song Xing and said: "The Five Elements Book records some of my knowledge of martial arts over the past two hundred years. If you are interested in martial arts, you can take a look, but after all, it is too profound and you need to be cautious."
He then took off a sheepskin bag from his waist, handed it to Song Xing, and said: "There are also sixteen Shennong Pills here. If you are injured and poisoned, one pill is enough to save the day. Each pill you take can also store your energy, nourish your mind, and increase your power." , but don’t take it too often.”
Is this the earliest elixir?
Seeing the deathly look on Shen Nong's face, Song Xing felt a little heavy, cupping his fists and saying: "I will live up to the entrustment of my predecessors and send this blood letter to Yuping Mountain and Mirage City."
When Shennong saw Song Xing's sincere tone and a smile on his stiff face, he drew a monster with a dragon's head and a horse's body on the ground, and said: "There is a dragon and horse in Longtan at the foot of the mountain. It can travel thousands of miles a day. From here to Yuping Mountain More than two hundred miles, more than two thousand miles to Mirage City, you can go and surrender and serve as a mount. Remember, the dragon horse's weakness is the red mane on its neck."
Song Xing looked at it and knew that these were horses from the wilderness era, but horses living in pools were unusual.
In this ancient era tens of thousands of years ago, there seemed to be countless treasures waiting to be unearthed.
Seeing that all the things that need to be explained have been explained, Shen Nong finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down his heavy heart, stretched out, lay on the grass, looked up at the stars in the sky, climbed a jade begonia in his hand, and placed it deeply in front of his nose. After taking a breath, he sighed: "How can I live up to such a good time and beautiful scenery? The sun, moon and stars have become assimilated with me, what more can I ask for!"
"My dear friends, this is the farewell. Remember, the safety of tens of thousands of people is in your hands. The journey is difficult. Shennong would like to express my gratitude."
Although they had known each other for only half a day, Tuoba Ye fell in love with Shen Nong's free and easy attitude of being indifferent to life and death. Seeing that Shen Nong was about to die soon, Tuo Ba Ye couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shennong didn't look at the two of them anymore and sang an unfamiliar song in a low voice.
Song Xing has experienced several worlds and is used to seeing life and death. Although he has countless doubts in his heart about this wild world, he did not say much when facing the dying Shennong. He clasped his fists in salute to Shennong and pulled Tuoba Ye. He strode around and left, halfway up the mountain, and still heard Shennong's intermittent singing.
"Morning dew and night-blooming cereus are so close to each other that the ten meanders of the Yellow River flow to the east, ninety thousand miles into the sky."
