Shen Nong Tries a LOT of Herbs

Image result for 神农尝百草

Long, long ago, the plants of this extravagant world were unclassified. No one knew what were weeds, medicine and food. That is really sad. The people of the world ate only meat at the time, since they had no veggies (wish I could do that). When that caught an animal, they had dinner, if not, then no food. Sometimes, people got so hungry that they ate veggies,but, some of them were poisoned. Others were ill and had no medicine to cure them. In order to stop our suffering a nice guy named Shen Nong decided he would be our lab rat. Yay! In the daytime, he would taste herbs on the mountain and at night he sorts them out by the fire. Wait... Doesn't he need to sleep too?
Once he put a piece of herb into his mouth,and before he even started chewing, he got really dizzy and fell to the ground. A passerby caught him and picked him up. But Shen Nong knew he was was poisoned. He took his last bit of energy and pointed towards to super healing herb. The passerby immediately put it in his mouth and he was saved.  Even though he lived, many tried to convince him to go down the mountain (Free Will!). But he was stupidly persistent and continued with his work. He went from mountain to mountain for 49 days straight! He organized all the herbs he had ever tried and  and taught people how to use them. In total, he tasted 365 different herbs! I have never had so many veggies in my young life. Not only that, but he called on a super magic birdie, and made him get wheat and other grains for us! Yippee!!! Shen Nong then taught us how to grow all these different grains to feed ourselves, and we lived happily ever after.

The End

    365 herbs over 49 days, that's only like 7 per day, so of course he had time to sleep!

Hou Yi Shoots 9 Suns (Yes, Suns)

Once upon a time, there were ten suns. They each took turns going out and bringing the people warmth. These ten suns were all brothers. When one of the suns went out, The others would relax, play, and do random things suns do. Then,one day, they came up with an idea that will get them killed. Going out together. Now that may sound weird to you, but they would parch the land if the came out together. In fact, they even had restrictions for that. But nooo, they just had to make that decision, and the next morning they all went out to play baseball, just kidding, they went out and did things that suns do. This lasted for quite a while. Pretty soon our puny little lives got pretty sad and our numbers were dwindling. A "hero" Hou Yiwent to go and help us, then squinted through the blinding white light (when did they invent sunglasses?) aimed pretty well, and shot one of the suns. Boom! One Sun down. *8 booms later* Hou Yi's wife Chang E came to plead with him to not shoot th

Niu Lang and Zhi Nv Part I

Niu Lang was a unfortunate child, his parents died at an early age, so he was taken in by his aunt and brother. But, they treated him badly, and didn't let him wear warm clothes or eat until he was full. They also made him do a lot of work. In the daytime, he farmed and took care of the family cow. At night, he slept with the cow in the stables. Niu Lang and the cow were exceptionally close, as though they were family. One day, his aunt told him that he must leave, and he could take the cow with him. Niu Lang was very happy to leave that place and to take the cow with him. He told the cow to go wherever he wished and they could start  a home there. The cow stopped in a pasture near a lake. A couple days after they stopped, the cow spoke to Niu Lang. The cow said: " Go to the lake tomorrow and take the pink robe. This robe will get you a beautiful wife. " The next day, Niu Lang followed the cow's directions and saw the pink robe. He quickly snatched up the robe

Pan Gu Creates The WORLD! A.K.A Chinese Big Bang Theory

Once upon a time, before the skies and seas were formed, it was all chaos. There was no ending point or edge, no up or down or left or right, no cardinal directions, just a giant egg. Within this egg, there was Pan Gu the ancestor of all humans. After 18,000 years, Pan Gu woke up. He found out all was pitch black, so he got really mad(Anger Issues!). He picked up the ax he somehow found in there (mythology explains all) and broke the chaos egg. All the lighter things floated up and became the sky, while everything that was heavy sank down and became the ground. From then on, the sky and ground were separate. Pan Gu now used his head to keep the sky up and his feet to keep the ground down. He then grew a meter an day for another 18,000 years (kids grow fast, just not that fast!). At that time, the sky couldn't get any higher and the ground couldn't get any lower. By that time he was a giant, almost like a pillar that kept the earth and sky apart. The sky followed his emotio
