1202 The Fall of the Dark IV (2/2)

Because we were not eating ”food” but ”message”, a clean and powerful nation should have a clean and powerful food source at first.

In a preliminary book ”Food Message Theory” for herbal medicine apprentices, pork's harms were described as follows, ”Pig eats everything and sleeps wherever it wants; it doesn't even look at the sky and move like a sick man; its nature is lascivious; its meat tastes cold; its image is extremely ugly. It's the worst animal in the world. If people ate pork, people would be affected by its nature.

There was one sentence in Huang Di's Canon of Medicine, ”People who eat grains are wise; those who eat meat are despised”.

There was another comment about pork made by an ancient famous Hua doctor in Compendium of Materia Medica——If one always ate pork, one would have fewer sperms and a recurrence of an old disease...besides, one would feel pain, fatigued and breathless all over.

There was another classical quotation in the Quotations of Famous Doctors——Porks could tighten one's blood vessels; weaken one's tendons, bones and muscles. People couldn't always eat porks; especially those who suffer from knife wounds.

In the Patron Church that Zhang Tie believed in, clergies always stuck to such a doctrine and principle——Don't eat all the disgusting things!

The Patron Church believed that if people wanted to maintain a pure soul, sound consideration and nourished a zealous spirit and a clean and healthy body, they should pay special attention to the diet that they survived on. Food was different, good or not, clean or dirty, different food would pose different influences to the human body. Good food would do good to the human body; bad food would do harm to the human body. Therefore, people had to pay special attention to diet!

Many nations didn't eat pork; besides, they had a lot of requests for their daily staple!

It was definitely not a coincidence, but the wise words of forerunners.

Although pharmacists ate meats, they didn't eat pork. In Zhang Tie's family, since Zhang Yang became a pharmacist, the entire Zhang family had not eaten pork anymore. Additionally, pork was not the main meat for Hua people anymore in this age.

There were over 900 years from when Hua people started to eat pork on a large scale to when they were cheated to eat demonized grains before the Catastrophe. Coincidentally, pork and demonized grains posed the same influence to Hua people's health, namely, having fewer sperms, having a recurrence of an old disease, tightening one's blood vessels, weakening one's tendons, bones and muscles. Therefore, some far-sighted Hua people were curious about the reason. Perhaps, in the long river of history, before serving demonized food on the dining table of Hua people, demons and their lackeys among Hua people had played a trick on the food of Hua people and turned pork into their main meat. As a result, Hua people gradually declined physically and spiritually and experienced large-scale catastrophes one after another.

...

After hearing Elder Muan's words, the entire Ancestral Shrine Palace was in silence. All the elders at present were in meditation and memory, including Zhang Tie. Finally, Zhang Taixuan shook his head, ”It's possible; but almost impossible. Being similar to the first method, if Heavens Reaching Church used such demonized grains and grain seeds, these demonized grains would definitely arouse large-scale health problems after circulating in Taixia Country for so long. Such health problems couldn't be buried at all; unless these demonized grains have a very small poisonous effect and just target at a minority of people. If so, it was unnecessary for Heavens Reaching Church to do that!”

”Then, there's only one possibility!” Elder Muen took in a deep breath.

Zhang Tie let out a sigh before saying, ”It means that these demonized grains and grain seeds didn't take effect until 10 more generations later, even dozens of generations later. There's no dangerous pathogen or genetic modification that target at weakening human health; however, the normal growth and reproduction ability of these grains and grain seeds have been ”castrated”. Their genes have problems too. Although these grains and grain seeds look normal now, they would not bear any seeds one day. Each grain and grain seed managed by the clans of Heavens Reaching Church is a time bomb. Since they started to manage these grains and grain seeds, they had preset the precise time for the bombs. Given Taixia Country's population, as long as it runs out of grains, ordinary people would have no food. As a result, Taixia Country would be in a civil strife due to ”hunger” before demons arrive. Because no subcontinents or continents could bear the great food consumption of Taixia Country.
