Shen Nong had to pass on the art of alchemy

Qingxu left the Dachitian and flew straight towards Wangwu Mountain like the wind and lightning. As the saying goes, one day in the middle of a mountain will last a thousand years. Who knows how much time has passed in the human world after spending a stick of incense in this saint's ashram. In this way, when Qingxu returned to Wangwu Mountain, Shennong had already been waiting at Shangqing Temple for several months.

It turns out that Qingxu told Kong Xuan and Bai Lingtongzi about Shennong's appearance before going to Dachitian, asking them to leave Shennong in Wangwu Mountain when he came. Unexpectedly, it would be several months after he left. Shennong was worried that if Kong Xuan and Bai Ling had not paid close attention to Shennong, he would have returned to Chendi.

Qingxu entered the main hall of Shangqingguan and asked Bai Ling to bring Shen Nong Huan here. Shen Nong heard Bai Ling say that the teacher had returned and hurried over. Entering the main hall, he saw Qingxu sitting on the futon, and he paid homage and said: "Disciple Shennong, see my teacher, Teacher Wanshou." Qingxu raised his hand to help Shennong up and said, "I already know your purpose, but I am not well versed in it as a teacher. "In alchemy."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Nong saw a look of disappointment on his face and said hurriedly: "But my master has already obtained the art of alchemy from the Great Chitian of Taiqing Realm. I will teach you this method." Hearing this, Shen Nong was overjoyed and prepared to bow to him. He then heard Qingxu say: "But this technique is a sage's method and should not be passed down lightly." Shennong asked hurriedly: "Then how can we pass on this sage's method?" Qingxu said with a smile: "This matter is difficult to say. It's also extremely easy."

Shennong hurriedly asked: "What method is it?" Qingxu said: "Nothing else but a sincere heart." After saying that, he closed his eyes and went into concentration and ignored Shennong. Shennong thought hard for a long time before he went out and drove away with a look of relief.

Kong Xuan waited for Shennong to leave and then went into the palace and asked: "Didn't the alchemy master of the teacher already give it to the teacher to teach it to Shennong? Why does the teacher want to make things difficult for him again?" Qingxu smiled and said: "Idiot. Although the great uncle gave this scroll to his teacher to pass it on to Shen Nong, how could the art of a saint be easily passed on to others? How could it be shown that the art was valuable without letting him experience it? Besides, although a saint is a saint, he is still a human being. As the leader of the human sect, this is how all sentient beings know the kindness of the master." After saying this, he closed his eyes again and fell into meditation. After hearing this, Kong Xuan thought for a moment and then shook his head and left.

But it was said that Shennong had been rushing to Chendi day and night since he left Jiuhua Mountain. When he got to Chendi, he gathered everyone and said, "My master wants to teach me the art of alchemy, but this art is taught by saints. Don't teach it lightly. You can follow me to bathe and fast." After seven days, come with me to worship Saint Taiqing in order to ask the saint to pass on the elixir to save all my people." After saying that, he asked people to start building the altar. After meditating for a while to regain his strength, he led everyone to bathe and fast.

 Seven days later, Shennong asked people to place the spiritual tablet of Taishang Laojun, the leader of the Hunyuan Wuji Taishangren Sect, on the altar. In front of the altar, seasonal fresh fruits, pigs, cattle and sheep were offered as offerings. Shen Nong led all the people to worship and said: "The disciples of the lower world, the Emperor Shen Nong, led all the people in the world to kowtow and worship. All people in the ancient times did not know the art of grass, trees, elixirs and stones. Their diseases have no cure. Today, my disciples lead all the people to worship here. Please be kind to the saint and leader to pass on the elixir." Use this technique to save all the people in the wild!"

After Shen Nong was born, everyone worshiped him and said, "May the saint be merciful and save all the people of the ancient world." However, there was no reaction from the spiritual tablet. Shen Nong remembered that his teacher had said that he must be sincere in order to obtain this technique, so he did not get up and kept prostrating on the ground. Everyone kept kneeling like this from morning to night and then back again. There was still no reaction from the spiritual throne in the morning. Everyone knelt for three days and three nights. Except for some old and weak people who could not last long and fainted, everyone else kept kneeling on the same spot.

Suddenly, a clear light descended from thirty-three days away and covered the spiritual throne, enveloping all the people who were kneeling in it. Everyone felt a cool air pouring down from the top. Not only was the fatigue of kneeling for three days and three nights wiped away, but all the long-standing illnesses have disappeared.

After the clear light dissipated, everyone thanked him and said, "Thank you so much, Holy Master!" When Qingxu saw the auspicious sign coming from the sky, he knew that his uncle had agreed to pass on the alchemy to Shennong at this time, so he appeared and said to Shennong who had just stood up: " Shen Nong, I have been ordered by the saint to pass on this elixir to you. I hope you can use this elixir to save all people and not let down the wish of the Taiqing saint to teach you the elixir." After saying this, he handed the elixir book to Shennong and took it from his sleeve. He took out the alchemy made by Taishang Laojun and said: "This cauldron can be called the 'Shennong cauldron' because the saint of Taiqing was afraid that you wouldn't have a good furnace to refine elixirs." After saying this, he handed over the Shennong cauldron. To Shennong.

After Shennong took the Shennong cauldron, he once again thanked Taishang Laojun for giving him the cauldron. When Qingxu saw that the matter was over, he said to Shennong: "You and I will meet again in the future, but I don't know when to look at you. Take care of everything and do it for yourself." After saying that, he drove away in the auspicious clouds. Shen Nong was grateful to Taishang Laojun for giving him alchemy and cauldrons to save all people, so he built Taiqing Temple in various human tribes to let the people know Laojun's kindness. He also thought that Qingxu had made outstanding contributions to the two generations of emperors, so he ordered people to build the Shangqing Temple in Chendi to worship the saint Tongtian Cult leader Qingxu Daojun to accompany him to worship. The name of Jiejiao began to spread among the human race. However, Qingxu became the first among the second generation disciples of the Taoist sect to become famous.

After Shennong got the elixir book, he studied hard in Chendi in order to learn the art of refining elixirs as soon as possible so that he could pass it on to his tribe and solve the diseases that troubled them as soon as possible. Not to mention this. At this time, Qingxu had already arrived at Xuanyuan Qiu, because at this time the future Emperor of the People, Gongsun Xuanyuan, had been born. Qingxu wanted to get ahead of Guangchengzi and accept him as his disciple to widen the sect.

 But it is said that there is a tribe in Xuanyuan Qiu called - Youxiong. The leader of the tribe is called Shaodian. Shaodian has two ladies, one of whom is called Fubao. One night Fu Bao saw a flash of lightning surrounding the Big Dipper. Immediately, the pivot star fell down, and the attached treasure became pregnant through the induction. After 24 months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a child, Shaodian, who he named Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan appeared to be an unusual god when he was born. He was able to speak not long after he was born, which is different for everyone in his tribe. On this day, Shaodian was dealing with family affairs. Suddenly someone came to inform him that the immortal Qingxu Taojun, known as the two generations of emperors, had come. Shaodian was shocked and asked the man to lead him to pay homage. The person who reported it said Qingxu. Mr. Xu Dao was already busy running all the way to his own home with Shaodian. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a Taoist wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and a purple and gold nine-gong crown sitting at home holding his young son Gongsun Xuanyuan in his arms. Shaodian hurriedly came forward to pay homage.

Qingxu helped him up and said, "Are you the Shaodian of the Youxiong Tribe?" Shaodian replied, "That's right. I wonder what the Immortal Chief has to do when he comes here." Qingxu smiled and said, "The chief doesn't have to worry about poverty. Dao Ci came here only because Xuanyuan, the son of the clan leader, and Pindao have a master-disciple relationship. Pindao wants to take him up to the mountain to practice, but I don't know what the clan leader wants." Shaodian was overjoyed when he heard this and thought, "Changxu Immortal Qingxu accepts both of his disciples as human emperors. How can I do that?" Is your son destined to be an emperor? Even if you are not a human emperor, it is a great opportunity to receive the teachings of Immortal Qingxu." After thinking about this, he said: "It is my blessing to be able to be taught by Immortal Qingxu. No."

Although Fu Bao was reluctant to part with him when he heard this, Fu Bao was also a smart person and knew that if he could be accepted by Lord Qingxu as his disciple, he would become a great talent in the future. Seeing that Shaodian and his wife agreed, Qingxu said, "Pindao will take him away and he will let him back in fifteen years." After saying that, he flew towards Wangwu Mountain on the auspicious clouds.
