Great Onmyoji Summoning System

Chapter 198 Shennongjia

The reason why Shennongjia is so famous in China is that it is connected with an ancient legend about Shennong tasting a hundred herbs:
In ancient times, Emperor Yan Shennong led the crowd to find a high mountain to taste all kinds of herbs. Seeing the steep mountain and forests, he believed that there must be a secret hidden medicine, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.So he first taught the people to "build wood as a house to avoid danger"; then taught the people to "build wood as a ladder to help climbing"; he collected 400 kinds of good medicines, and wrote "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". When the Emperor of Heaven returned his orders, he "set up a tree as an altar, and flew across the crane to the sky" and left.Later, people called this mountain Shennongjia in memory of the ancestor Ende.

(PS. In reality, "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" was not written by Emperor Yan, but was assembled and compiled into a book in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The book was not completed at one time, and the author was not one person. monograph on empirical results.)
The above is Chen Mo's inherent cognition of Shennongjia. As long as people in the previous life mention Shennongjia, they will naturally think of Yandi Shennong among the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and lament that he is not afraid of hardships and dangers. Saved the lives of countless Yanhuang people.

Although Shennongjia in this parallel world lacks some of its legendary and mythical color, stories about ancient Shennong still circulate in this world.

Before the arrival of the calamity period, Shennongjia was originally a precipitous place in China. Although it was rich in medicinal materials, the towering mountains, steep cliffs, diverse and diverse biological populations, and the extremely harsh and extremely dangerous living environment , is definitely not a place suitable for human habitation.

When the disaster period comes, not only humans are infected by the death virus, but also the creatures on the earth are mutating. Shennongjia is located in the mountains, where there are naturally many rare species, and the biological mutation is also particularly serious. There will be follow-up Many highly advanced human cultivators wanted to go deep into the core area of ​​Shennongjia to pick rare and rare herbs, but in the end they were never heard from and disappeared.

In order not to blindly waste the foundation of human cultivators, since then, the land with a radius of thousands of miles around Shennongjia as the core has been classified as a restricted area for human beings by the Chinese government, and all monks of all races are prohibited from exploring. Some guard posts were set up, not only to prevent the mutated creatures in Shennongjia from breaking out, but also to prevent outside monks from continuing to die.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, and the more the government prevents people from entering, the more itchy it is;
Maybe no one has visited it for too long, and the mysterious rumors about Shennongjia are becoming more and more popular. Many people say that the ground is full of natural treasures, and if you pick just one, you can easily break through the existing cultivation level, or even It can make people reborn and have higher cultivation talents; there are also rumors that the golden beast kings are everywhere in the core area of ​​Shennongjia, and the diamond demon kings are as numerous as dogs. Once they get out of Shennongjia, the entire human world will be destroyed.
As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Although the government has repeatedly banned it, there are always people who can't hold back their curiosity and want to sneak into Shennongjia to find out. In the past, so many ancestors and experts could not come back alive from the depths of Shennongjia. , the outcome of these people is naturally conceivable.

In recent years, there have been rumors that the mutant beasts in the Shennongjia area have become more and more uneven. Even in the outskirts of Shennongjia, you can often see mutant beasts of the golden rank. This strange phenomenon has brought new attention to Shennongjia from all walks of life. In this special situation, Imperial University actually ordered all the freshmen to go to the outskirts of Shennongjia for training. Such an abnormal operation that is contrary to common sense is really puzzling.

Although Imperial University is known as a top university, but these freshmen who have been enrolled for less than three months want to go to Shennongjia to open up wasteland in a dungeon of hell-level difficulty, which is tantamount to pushing them into the fire pit, you know Not all freshmen can be as monstrous as Chen Mo Yeling, and the freshmen with the lowest cultivation level this year may not be in the middle bronze class. Not only are the students themselves unwilling to do so, but even more parents of the students are unanimously against the Emperor University. Put pressure on the school to change the training venue.

Surprisingly, the external attitude of the Imperial University is particularly tough this time. The school only provides these new practitioners with two options. One is to cooperate with the school to complete the experience, and the other is to pack up and leave.In today's Emperor University, there are Confucian sages personally sitting in the town, and they are not afraid of any force coming to exert pressure, not to mention that this matter itself was ordered by Confucian sages.

It has to be said that this is a dilemma choice. All the students who can enter Imperial University have to pay a huge price. Now asking them to voluntarily give up this top university is tantamount to asking them to give up their future prospects. How can anyone agree with this? ;
In the same way, if you choose to enter Shennongjia for training, what is the difference between a freshman with low cultivation and no power to protect himself in front of mutant beasts, and a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? ;

On the one hand, life is in danger, on the other hand, the future is worrying, which is more important, it is really hard to choose?

In fact, this kind of multiple-choice question is not difficult for Chen Mo to choose. It should be said that it is not difficult for the top [-] freshmen in their age group to choose. For golden-rank mutant beasts, the difficulty of survival outside of Shennongjia seems to be no different from other training places.

In a word, strength determines everything. Only the weak will look around and hesitate. The choice of the strong is always simple and clear. Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to prepare as soon as possible, pack your bags, and set sail against the wind.

These so-called freshman experiences put no pressure on Chen Mo at all. The biggest question he is thinking about now is why the Emperor University chose Shennongjia, which is officially banned, for this experience. Is this what the Emperor University meant or the meaning of the high-level Chinese officials? ?
For this reason, Chen Mo specially learned some scriptures from Mr. Li, and the answer he got in the end was only four words: "Go early and return early."

It seems that Mr. Li has concluded that Chen Mo will definitely choose to participate in the training, and he has known about it for a long time from his tone. Sure enough, this training is said to be a rigid requirement of the Emperor University, but it should actually be arranged by the Chinese government for the Emperor University A secret mission, the only thing that is not clear is what kind of medicine are sold in the gourds of these big guys?

With doubts in his heart, the time soon came to the day before the start of the freshmen's experience.

On the playground of Imperial University, the sun was shining and the wind was howling. It was still the same scene, and it was still the same speaker. Comrade Xie Fengqing, who was the dean of the Imperial College of Practitioners and concurrently the vice-principal of the Imperial University, was standing with the same smile on his face. The rostrum overlooked more than 1000 new practitioners below.

This familiar and charming smile really made all the freshmen in the audience shudder.

　Thanks to Lao Tie, Ye Hanlong, and Watermelon Laiye for their rewards!

　　There are a lot of things in hand today, so I will start with one update for the time being, and will continue to provide two updates tomorrow.
