History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 208 Heaven and Earth·Man’s Self-improvement

As soon as the emperor's order came out, all countries took action one after another.

Prepare for war!

The king of Chu personally led the expedition and ordered Zhaoyang, Doulian to be the commander-in-chief on the left and right, and Jingyang to be the vanguard... All the generals of Chu State rose up, lined up to recruit troops, and led the troops for training.

People of all ethnic groups paraded and sang loudly, hoping to appeal to the people's hearts and join the army generously.

but……

The people of Chu felt sad, lamenting the country's lack of virtue and committing crimes on behalf of the country.

How do you get the fighting spirit at this time?

Even if you act softly, you won’t be able to achieve your goals!

In this regard, the king of Chu could only send Sun Shuao to coordinate the number of people in the country, and issue strict orders to recruit troops into the army.

Sun Shuao sighed: An unjust defense is more tragic than an unjust war.

…

Under the strict orders of the Chu State, virtue seemed to be put aside by the powerful, and Zhou Li... was also forgotten by them.

This seems like a really barbaric way to control an entire country.

The loss of faith caused the Chu State to retreat from the country into an... awkward state that was about to collapse.

And just when both the war and the people's sentiments are not favorable.

Feng Yun has found the source of the plague from the sand mine.

"Back then, all the Yangyue people in the sand were trapped and killed here?"

Feng Yun looked into the deep mine. The stench of corpses filled the sky, mixed with the moisture of the surrounding mine ash, making it look like a swamp, with black and red mud emerging...

"Take the torch farther away." Feng Yun waved.

There is not enough gas in the mine, and the corpse is red gas, fearing that it will explode.

Qu Yuan, who had just recovered from the side, ordered everyone to retreat.

"Fengzi?" Qu Yuan exclaimed.

Then Feng Yun stepped forward in person, scraped off some mud, and stored it in a wooden box.

Said again.

"Bring the wild things."

Hearing the sound, Qu Yuan hurriedly waved.

I saw hundreds of armored soldiers covering their mouths and noses with medicine packs carrying some wooden cages filled with wild animals.

Among them were hares, wild birds, wild wolves, wild boars, wild monkeys, and some squid raised in sheepskin pockets.

It can be said that the common creatures in the land of Jingchu and Yangyue, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, have all been brought here.

Feng Yun waved his hand, and the mysterious energy flew up, cutting through the skin and flesh of these wild creatures.

He also used mysterious energy as a guide, Zhuyou Gu, and luck techniques to introduce the source of the plague in the surrounding areas along with the wounds into these objects in the mountains to simulate the disease.

Looking at the corpses in the darkness, Feng Yun said in a cold voice: "Prepare lime and use it to kill the source of the plague here. This mine... can only be mined when vegetation grows on the top."

After saying that, Feng Yun waved his hand.

"Let's go."

Qu Yuan on the side was about to speak but stopped.

Feng Yun shook his head.

"I know it even if I don't tell you."

"Red copper is precious, how can we let tens of thousands of Yangyue people know about it, not to mention that Chu and Yangyue... were at war at that time."

Feng Yun's voice was cold.

"Unless Yun is killed, Yun will write it down in "The Kingdoms of Chu" to let the world know that the way of heaven, earth and man destroys humanity, and those who trap people will also suffer human disasters, and heaven and earth will punish them together."

Feng Yun's eyes were slightly angry.

"I heard that many of the dignitaries in Chu are suffering from the plague and want to seek treatment from me?"

"...The dignitaries of Chu enjoy the dignity of Chu people."

"The people of Chu are suffering from the sins of the country at this time, and they are suffering from the plague due to the greed of red copper."

"Who is enjoying this country, and who will enjoy the red copper?"

"Qu Yuan, please spread the word that one of the Chu people has a plague, and none of the powerful people in Chu, including me, Feng Yun, will treat him."

Feng Yun fluttered his sleeves and left.

But he still stopped walking: "Bring these wild animals back to the sand camp, I need to observe the reaction."

"Find some wild animals of the same species and raise them in separate cages to see if they are infected by air."

"...the armored soldiers who were carrying wild animals were also used as separate medical camps. I taught them medical skills to help the Chu Kingdom eliminate the plague."

"Remember, there are many people in this tent. I can't guarantee the effectiveness of the herbs just now. If you have fever symptoms, bring them to me immediately. I can protect you and hundreds of others with my own strength. Don't mess around."

After making arrangements, he walked away without looking at Qu Yuan's ashamed and embarrassed face.

After leaving the mine, Feng Yun returned to the sand camp.

The original scenery has been evacuated.

It is said that Feng Yun was punished for delaying Feng Yun's search for the source of the plague, and was driven out of the position of uncle. Qu Wan, who had come to Yangyue to find medicine to cure people's cold, took over.

At this time, Qu Wan was also a member of Feng Yun, searching for medicine to prevent wind and cold in various places in Yangyue.

As long as there is no wind or cold, the plague will not break out.

And when summer comes, the weather is cool and beneficial, and if we take some precautions, the plague can be controlled.

If the wind and cold are controlled again in winter, even if we get sick again and many people die, it will not become a plague sweeping the land.

After all, a plague kills everyone in a country, and hundreds of thousands of people are not enough to make up for the evil caused by the plague.

In this way, we have tried our best to treat it.

"What happened to the prepared herbs?"

Processing, using special techniques, drying or roasting, grinding powder, or adding other herbs... are all ideas to remove toxicity and increase medicinal properties.

However, there is no such medicinal book at this time.

Feng Yun could only experiment by himself and write a book based on it, which was added to the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" for future reference.

"Use a new method to prepare it, just wait for Fengzi to test the medicine."

The slave taking care of the medicine said.

Feng Yun nodded and entered the medicine camp.

I heard a thump behind me.

"Fengzi, my father is in Yangyue Royal City and is seriously ill now. Please ask Fengzi to save my father!"

Feng Yun heard the sound...

"The medicine has not yet been prepared. How many people can I heal with my own luck?"

"I can only do my best to ensure that these people who are looking for broad-based cures with me are safe."

Feng Yun looked at the medicines on the shelf and smelled them carefully.

Take "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" as the way, and sacrifice it as a whip - Zhe Whip!

The medicinal properties can be discovered!

Feng Yun used ocher whip to test medicines. With the technique of observing qi and various pharmacological techniques, many medicines can be prepared in the ideal usable state in just a few times.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

In addition to this slave, there were many others in the medicine camp.

At this time, everyone fell down and begged Feng Yun for help.

During this period, more or less, there were more and more plagues in Yangyue...

Feng Yun sighed slightly, took the prepared medicine, boiled the medicine in a copper furnace made of "Huangdi Neijing", and used medical theory to prepare the prescription.

"Look, when you ask, everyone will ask for it, but I am so weak, how can I save you?"

"Don't use the posture of begging. In my eyes, whether you are common people, slaves, or soldiers, all of you are equal in my eyes."

"Of course, I will put all the powerful people behind you."

"And the people who are looking for medicine with me are put in front."

Feng Yun tells the truth.

Although these slaves are illiterate, they are sensible, but they still cry constantly when their relatives are in front of them.

"Heaven tells people to die, and earth waits for people to be buried; both are the general trend of heaven and earth, and they move naturally... People are afraid of the sorrow of death and greedy for the joy of life, so they can only strive for self-improvement."

Feng Yun used the songs spread here to appease everyone in this way.

The mysterious energy is gentle and comes out slowly.

Let everyone settle down.

"Can you really survive if you keep striving for self-improvement?" someone asked.

Feng Yun shook his head.

"I don't know, but I know that as humans continue to strive for self-improvement, it is difficult to determine the future. However, as humankind continues to strive for self-improvement, there will always be opportunities for improvement in the future."

"Ugh... Fengzi, your words are too broad, we are just slaves."

Someone is sad.

But no one asked Feng Yun to save his relatives anymore.

Feng Yun watched the smell of the medicine coming out and knew it was done, so he opened up the fire and used the warmth to accumulate the medicine.

"What happens to a slave is determined by man."

Feng Yun silently poured out the medicinal soup from the copper stove.

"The slaves will disappear."

Feng Yun is like a promise, but also like seeing through the years.

His words shocked the hearts of the surrounding slaves. Some wanted to refute, but Qu Yuan had already entered.

Unlike Feng Yun, Feng Yun is friendly and treats everyone well.

But Qu Yuan was an aristocrat, and he might be friendly, but under his circumstances, how could a slave say anything to refute him?
