Shennong Wants to Travel, Peregrine Falcon Displays Divine Power.

Chapter 134 Shennong Wants to Travel, Peregrine Falcon Displays Divine Power.

As Shennong watched Fuxi's departing figure, he felt the weight of his responsibilities growing ever heavier.

For the past hundred years, I have followed Fuxi and helped him with his affairs, but now I am all alone.

Shennong composed himself, looked at his excited clansmen below, and made a silent vow: "My brother Fuxi has already paved the way; I must not let down the Dao Lord, my teacher, and my brother."

"As long as I am in power, I will protect the human race."

Shennong looked at everyone and said in a strong and clear voice, "From today onwards, Shennong will certainly strive together with you all."

From this point on, the era of Fuxi officially ended, and the era of Shennong officially began.

After Shennong became the supreme ruler of the human race, his diligence goes without saying. He would personally handle all matters and sometimes even visit various tribes.

In the main hall of Wanqiu City,

Shennong looked at the tribal leaders below him with a troubled expression.

"Gentlemen, our human race is indeed thriving, but food has always been a problem."

"When I went on my inspection, I found that the tribesmen living by the river mostly ate fish and shrimp, while those living in the mountains mostly ate wild fruits or animal meat."

"In the primordial world, dangers abound, and no one can say for sure whether there are powerful monsters lurking in the rivers and forests."

"Do you think that if we could find food that we could grow, our tribe's food problem would be solved?"

As Shennong spoke, his eyes shone as he looked at the crowd, hoping to receive their affirmation.

The leaders looked at each other, knowing that Shennong's idea was good, but the food he grew might not be suitable for their living environment.

One of the leaders spoke hesitantly, "Lord, I think it's fine for us to fish for food."

"Yes, Lord, it's quite nice for us to eat animal meat. We can also pick some fruit every now and then to change things up. Besides, we're already familiar with that area, so we won't go to dangerous places."

Seeing that they were all rejecting his idea, Shennong sighed deeply, and at the same time, his decision became even more firm.

"Gentlemen, I have recently felt that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Therefore, there is no progress to be made by continuing to cultivate."

"Let me wander through the primordial world, temper my mind, and see if I can find food suitable for our human race to cultivate."

"My fellow chiefs, I have faith in your leadership abilities. The tribes are thriving now, and there are no major incidents on a daily basis. Therefore, I hope that during my absence, you will look after each other and send me a letter if there is any emergency."

After saying this, Shennong played the ocarina, and a peregrine falcon came running and landed on Shennong's shoulder.

Shennong looked gently at the peregrine falcon on his shoulder and stroked it a few times. "Gentlemen, this peregrine falcon can sense direction and is most familiar with my scent. No matter where I am, it can find me."

"In the future, if you need to send letters, you can tie the letters to the peregrine falcon's leg, and I will come back when I see them."

The leaders looked at each other suspiciously, wondering if what Shennong said was true. Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

Seeing this, Shennong knew the reason for their distrust. "If you do not believe me, I can leave this falcon in the hall for now. Who would like to go with me?"

Hao Yingshi was the first to step forward. He had already refused several times before, and now he would see if the peregrine falcon mentioned by the sovereign could receive the message.

"My Lord, I am willing to go with you. Why don't we go to my tribe? My tribe is neither too far nor too near from here, making it the most suitable place."

Shennong smiled when he saw that Hao Yingshi agreed, "Alright, then let's go to your tribe."

"Everyone, Hao Ying and I will go ahead first. You can wait here."

Shennong's gaze fell on the peregrine falcon, and he patted it lightly. "Good partner, let them see what you're capable of."

After saying that, Shennong and Haoyingshi left Wanqiu City and went to Haoyingshi's tribe.

Haoying-style tribe,

Shennong looked at his tribesmen who had taken up their fishing nets and were preparing to go out fishing, and then glanced at Hao Yingshi.

"Do you think it's really feasible to eat fish long-term? Suirenshi brought fire to our human race, and we no longer eat raw food."

"My brother Fuxi brought us the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era, which taught us about the celestial and geographical conditions of the primordial world and allowed us to understand it. He also taught us how to make fishing and hunting tools such as nets and traps, which made fishing much easier for us from then on."

Shennong took out a pottery flute from his sleeve, glanced at Haoyingshi with a wry smile, and said, "Even this pottery flute was created by my elder brother."

"Since my elder brother Fuxi attained enlightenment and went to Huoyun Cave to suppress the fortune, I have been the ruler of this clan for ten years. I do not seek to be as good as my elder brother, but only that my people can be self-sufficient and have a stable source of food."

"It would be even better if we could reduce the number of diseases further."

Hao Yingshi listened to Shennong's heartfelt words with a moved expression. Just as he was about to say something more, a peregrine falcon swooped down from the sky and landed on Shennong's body.

"Lord, the peregrine falcon has actually come." Hao Yingshi said as he untied the knot on its leg.

Hao Ying looked at the knotted rope in front of him and then looked at Shennong with surprise. "Lord, look, it didn't get lost and really brought the information. If our tribe can all use it, it will be much easier to transmit messages."

Shennong looked at the peregrine falcon with some pride when he heard Hao Yingshi say this, but then felt a little regretful. "I obtained this peregrine falcon by chance. It's the only one I've found so far."

"Take me on a journey through the wilderness, and I'll see if I can find a second peregrine falcon."

Hao Yingshi looked at the peregrine falcon in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I believe this peregrine falcon is not the only one in the world. There will definitely be a chance to find its kin."

Shennong nodded, returned the knotted rope, tied it to the peregrine falcon's leg, supported the falcon, and with a slight effort, tossed it into the sky. Using this momentum, the peregrine falcon flew back the way it came.

"Haoying, we should go back now. Let's see if the peregrine falcon can return to the main hall."

In the main hall of Wanqiu City,

After the leaders released the peregrine falcon, they waited anxiously. They were unsure whether the falcon could truly transmit the message between the two places, as their leader had said.

"Look, everyone, the peregrine falcon has really flown back."

"Could it have just wandered around outside aimlessly and then flown straight back?"

"Take a look at this knotted rope and see if there is a reply from the Lord."

The leaders were quite surprised as they surrounded the peregrine falcon. After it stood still, Xiong Shi stepped forward and untied the knot on its leg.

"Okay, I've seen the sovereign's reply. This peregrine communication works."

As Shennong and Haoying approached the hall, they saw a lively discussion about the peregrine falcon. They exchanged a glance. "Gentlemen, is this feasible?"

The group could no longer refuse. It was one thing for them to be unable to accompany the sovereign on his journey through the wilderness because of their tribal affairs, but it would be inappropriate to refuse him again and again.

The tribal leaders bowed deeply to Shennong, wishing that their wish would be fulfilled and that the sovereign would bring cultivable food to their people.
