"The Wu clan's fire god Zhurong and water god Gonggong had an argument. Gonggong angrily hit Mount Buzhou, and the Buzhou mountain that supported the heaven and earth collapsed."

The pillars of heaven were broken, the earth was severed, in an instant the mountains and rivers lost their color, the sun and the moon tilted, and the stars shook endlessly.

A big hole appeared in the Thirty-three Heavens, and the Milky Way poured down from the hole in the sky, instantly turning the ground into a vast ocean.

Countless creatures struggled and died tragically in the water of the Milky Way, with wailing everywhere.

As Li Zhao narrated, the tragic scene seemed to be right before their eyes. Everyone's heart was lifted and they felt sad for their ancestors.

"The Queen Mother Nuwa created the Law of Heaven and Earth, held up the Five Mountains, and provided a sky for the human race. She was determined to repair the sky, but she lacked the materials and could not spare the time."

"At this time, the strongest women and men of the human race stood up."

"Mother Goddess, your children have grown up. Please let us share the responsibility of repairing the sky with you."

The tiny human race built an ark, traveled to various places, defeated countless prehistoric beasts, and brought back countless colorful magic stones.

Li Zhao selected two battle scenes and described the bravery and wisdom of the women and men in great detail. The common people, monks, nuns, Taoists, and officials were all amazed when they heard the description.

"What a brave lady, what a brave gentleman, you dare to fight a dragon."

Li Zhao was about to end the myth: "The Queen Mother Nuwa took some time off to refine the five-colored divine stone with the Qiankun Cauldron. She put down the Five Mountains, placed a large piece of the five-colored divine stone on top, and then led the human race to move towards Mount Buzhou."

Half of Mount Buzhou had collapsed, but the hole in the sky above was not so easy to repair. Divine fire, thunder, meteorites, and river water kept falling down. Nuwa, who had lost her saintly power, had difficulty walking with the five-colored divine stone on her head.

Nuwa's body, which was thousands of miles tall, was covered with scars and blood flowed into a sea.

The humans who followed the human mother killed the strange beasts and cleared the way for the Holy Mother of the human race, while they wept and wailed constantly.

Li Zhao: "At this time, all the women of the human race stood up, and led by their leader, the Great Witch, they knelt down and prayed to the heavens."

"God is above us. We are willing to sacrifice our bodies, and let all our descendants bleed endlessly, in exchange for the health of the Holy Mother of the human race."

As soon as the ancient witch swore, heaven sent down auspicious signs and granted their wishes.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "They took on the pain of the mother, but the mother was hurt too badly. They, hundreds of thousands of people, are just flesh and blood, and they can't bear it at all."

"The Queen Mother Nuwa quickly cast a protective spell on them."

"My daughters, when you are about to reach adulthood, you will begin to bleed from your private parts, once a month. If you are too young or too old, or if you are pregnant, you will not bleed."

"From then on, every woman would bleed when she reached a certain age. Because it happens once a month, it is called menstruation, menstruation, or menstruation."

Li Zhao added: "When menstruation comes, a woman's body is weak and she needs to be well cared for."

"If not, the evil wind will enter the body, causing continuous bleeding, or improper diet, illness, and missed menstruation, which is also common."

“No one should be surprised by this.”

Qingluan also said: "Yes, menstruation is a symbol of women bravely bearing the harm of the Holy Mother of the human race. It is not something filthy or evil."

"Don't worry too much about it, just face it calmly."

A middle-aged beautiful woman in fancy clothes held her head high and chest puffed out with a proud look on her face: "So that's why. That's what I was wondering, why is it that women bleed every month and it's not a big deal?"

"It turns out that menstruation is not a curse, but a gift from the goddess Nuwa to filial daughters." A handsome man smiled, his expression calm.

There was also a woman in the crowd who grabbed her man's ear and snorted, "Now you know why women have their periods? Do you still dare to say that my period is unlucky?"

"Do you dare?!"

The man cried out in pain and tried to pull his wife's hands away: "Ouch! Spare me, my lady! I won't do it again, never again!"

Yu Dou Xuan Zun personally said that women's menstruation is not dirty. This word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until finally everyone in the world knew it.

Many talented women and men also rehearsed the mythological stories told by Xuanzun into vernacular novels, poems and acrobatics, which were widely sung in various places, and people no longer viewed women's menstruation as unlucky.

This is something to talk about later, let’s not mention it for now.

The comments were very happy to see this scene.

[What you said is absolutely right]: The stigma surrounding menstruation can finally be eliminated.

[History Kids]: Happy~~Sprinkle flowers~

Li Zhao took the opportunity to explain to them the precautions during menstruation. The women listened attentively and wrote down everything in their little notebooks.

After preaching in Luoyang for three days, Li Zhao led his men to leave Luoyang and head to Youzhou.

Some people in the barrage were confused.

[History Kid]: Ah? Didn’t we go to Yunzhou to see the development of the Datong Coal Mine?

Qingluan denied, "No, the itinerary has been messed up. Let's go to Youzhou first."

"Yudou Xuanzun also set up farms in Youzhou, so we should go and take a look there as well."

Qingluan said nonchalantly: "It's the same whether you take a detour from Youzhou to Yunzhou."

Under the scorching sun, the convoy rumbled away, its destination - Youzhou.

Youzhou, the land in northern Hebei, has another more widely known name - Beijing.

After crossing the Taihang Mountains, the caravan stopped to make a fire and cook. The officials and students of the Taiwei Changzhu Mansion gathered in groups of two or three to bake Hu cakes and eat.

Some people took bows and arrows, planning to go shoot some pheasants nearby to satisfy their hunger. Others made a simple fishing rod and sat by the river fishing, looking like noble men.

The girls sat together, busy sharing candied fruits with their sisters.

"Xin Niang, try some of the candied fruits my brother sent me. There are plum cakes and golden candied dates."

"My face has become tanned after being out for these few days, and I have run out of face powder. If anyone has any face powder, please lend it to me."

"Ah Xuan, do you want some dried meat? I'll roast some for you! Ah Xuan?"

He Xin skewered the dried meat and roasted it over the fire. She turned around to call Pei Xuan, but couldn't find her.

Finally, she saw a shadow under the willow tree by the river in the distance. She handed the thing to the maid and asked her to continue roasting it, then quietly walked over.

The river was gurgling. Under the willow trees, a pretty young lady in a long gown and a single bun on her hair was holding a piece of letter and reading it, revealing a sweet smile from time to time.

In the sunlight, half of her face seemed to be able to transmit light. She lifted her hair, and the flame-patterned curling grass and gold hairpin with pearls in her bun swayed slightly, making the pearls and jade jingle.

The two maids and two guards beside him watched their master silently.

He Xin came over and flashed from behind the tree: "Hey! Xuan! What are you doing?"

Pei Xuan was startled and quickly tried to hide the letter in his arms: "Nothing, nothing."

He Xin had sharp eyes and had seen it a long time ago. She chuckled, "Okay, stop hiding. I've seen you several times. It was the letter that the one in the East Palace wrote to you, right?"

Pei Xuan's face slowly turned red. She put away the letter, sat on the grass, and pretended to look at the scenery in the distance.

"What's going on between you two? Am I going to have a friend who will be a princess soon?" He Xin came over and sat down, winking at her.

The Tang Dynasty had an open-minded society and it was common for men and women to be together before marriage. Sending each other letters was a small matter and there was nothing wrong with it.

Pei Xuan blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We haven't even started yet."

He Xin joked, "I think you're getting married soon, so remember to treat me to a drink then!"

Pei Xuan's face turned redder and she reached out to tickle He Xin: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The two girls were playing around, and not far away, Li Zhao and Qing Luan were fishing and heard everything.

Qing Luan was surprised: "Hey? Pei Xuan and Li Hong, when did they become a couple?"

Li Zhao calmly scattered rice as bait: "This is not surprising. Pei Xuan is Pei Judao's daughter after all."

Qing Luan was confused: "Ah? Who is Pei Judao?"

Li Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "You idiot, I told you to read more history books."

"Pei Judao is Li Hong's father-in-law in history."

"Who do you think Pei Xuan is?"

Qing Luan was shocked: "It's her? Host, then you have taken Li Hong's future wife into your own hands!"

"We not only robbed his throne, but also his wife?"

Li Zhao said nonchalantly: "Yes, I robbed it."

Qingluan calmed down: "It doesn't matter, just rob her. Master Host, is she useful to you? Otherwise, why did you bring her with you?"

Li Zhao glanced at Pei Xuan and smiled: "She is indeed useful, you will know later."

After resting for a while, the convoy continued to move forward, and this time, it finally arrived at Li Zhao's Youzhou Village in Youzhou.

Li Zhao opened the live broadcast room: "My dears, guess what the pillar industry of this village is?"

There are many different opinions in the barrage.

[History Kids]: Growing fruits and vegetables?

[The moon is not high in the sky]: Wheat, the most reliable food.

[What you said is right]: I think it is raising cattle and sheep.

[Post from Saibinghu]: Raising fish?

Li Zhao chuckled and said, "Neither of them is right!"

"Youzhou Village's pillar industry is cosmetics."

There was an uproar in the barrage.

【Love to eat eggplant buns】: Huh?! Cosmetics?

[Qingyue]: Oh, you are a free man who loves beauty. Are you doing this to teach women to put on makeup and advocate beauty service in ancient times? !

Li Zhao's face darkened: "Who said that putting on makeup means serving as a beauty?"
