Chapter 273 The Origin of Mosquito Repellent Repellent
What's the reason for this crashing sound? It turns out that it's a lot of golden beetles. A few days ago, Rao accidentally discovered that spider webs can trap moths, so he taught it to humans. The three goblins hatched the method using stone eggs.
The flying insect was covered in armor. This insect had a strong body and heavy weight. When it spread its wings and hit it, the spider web was shattered into pieces. It could no longer block the moths flying into the fire. Then, something more terrifying happened. In addition to the moths and scarab beetles,
In addition, an even smaller flying insect appeared, which jumped on people and sucked their blood, causing another plague.
This is naturally the work of the locust. The locust was transformed by sucking the blood of the Jade Emperor. It has blood-sucking genes. The stone eggs it spawned became blood-sucking flying insects. The insects made a slight buzzing when they flew over.
The hypnotic buzzing sound makes no sound when it lies on the skin to suck blood, just like a man and a woman kissing each other tenderly.
Tuo and Rao hurried back to Qiankeng to discuss countermeasures with the village chief Lang. The village elders had gathered in the ancestral hall, burning incense and praying to heaven and earth: "This is a disaster from heaven. The insects are small and good at flying. The bows and clusters are ineffective. Only
I pray to God for mercy.”
Out of awe for the unknown insect, ancient literati also liked to use words such as "huo zheye" and "huo zheye". The wise men in the human race named it "kiss". As time went by, word of mouth passed down the name of the insect to mosquitoes in later generations.
"Slow Voice. Mosquito Words"
It buzzes, flies and stops, stings and bites. It's the best time to suck blood when the flowers are blooming in spring. Humans have open chests and belly, how can they compete with my mouth and hungry belly? Keep an eye on them, even if they are full, open their mouths and suck each other to their heart's content.
Anger, sorrow, and sorrow. Everyone is worried, and who can be bothered by millions of mosquitoes? What’s more, he is possessed by the god of plague, and his body is weak and weak. In the middle of the night, people are sleepy and tired, and their exposed skin is covered with spots. When you get a red envelope, how can you say it is itchy!
Although the plague can be cured by dragon beads, there are so many mosquitoes that it can't stand it. The disease rate among humans is too fast. A hundred people here are cured, and a thousand people are attacked there. People focus on one thing and miss the other. Lang Yutuo called the village elders to discuss together.
But what outcome can be negotiated? Mosquitoes are so small that they can penetrate almost everywhere. Originally, spider webs can catch mosquitoes, but once the spider webs are knotted, scarabs will wash them into pieces.
? After holding it in for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage and said, "People can't fight with gods. People are already dying now. How about we also build a temple to worship the three immortals?"
"What are you talking about? Someone stands over us and dominates us, slaps us, but we kneel down and beg for mercy?" Tuo said angrily: "Another day, I will lead people to destroy these three monsters."
?Shaked his head and said: "You are Yu's disciple and the son of Hebo, so naturally you will not be infected with the plague. But if you cannot defeat the three immortals, you will cause trouble and harm us. We ordinary people, we will see many gods."
A few sticks of incense can keep you safe for a lifetime."
?'s words resonated with the two timid village elders, who followed him to support him. Tuo thought that he must be an outsider after all, so he turned his head to Lang.
Lang turned around and said, "Since the matter involves gods and ghosts, let's pick an auspicious day and go to Tianmu Palace to offer a stick of incense to Tianmu Yuanjun and pray that she will give her a spiritual fortune teller. We will make a decision after the fortune teller."
In the Tianmu Palace, the village chief Lang and the villagers knelt on the ground in black crows, muttering prayers to Tianmu for protection, to eliminate mosquitoes and prevent the plague from spreading again.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the lotus tube. After the lotus tube made a sharp crackling sound, a middle-even lotto fell out. The upper lotus sign is good luck, and the lower lotus sign is unlucky. What's going on with this middle-end lotus?
At that time, Taoism had not yet emerged, and there were no sign interpreters in the temple. People turned their attention to wise men.
There is no good luck and no bad luck, how to explain this?? He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. When everyone was looking at the lot, Tuo discovered a phenomenon. There were swarms of mosquitoes outside the temple gate, but there was no buzzing of mosquitoes in the temple. So, he used
He pinched Rao beside him and whispered a few words.
Rao looked towards the main hall, sniffed again, pointed at Tuo and whispered, "Maybe the scent of the moonlight fragrance drives away flying insects."
The method of making Yue Zhi Incense is very simple, that is, during the Dragon Boat Festival, collect duckweed, dry it in the shade, add realgar, and wrap it with hemp into an incense shape. Rao took out a few bunches of incense brought by the group, took it back to the cave where he stayed, and lit it.
Sure enough, I saw mosquitoes scurrying away and flying outside the cave.
"The annoying mosquitoes are gone, can I kiss them?" Tuo sulked and gently extended his mouth to Rao's ear. Rao felt itchy, so he smiled, hugged Tuo tightly and kissed her.
The next day, he led several villagers and stood at the entrance of the cave and said to them: "We have discussed and planned to build a temple of three immortals. We want you to be harmonious with Yu. No, even though we know they are monsters, we
I can’t afford to offend him, there is no other way.”
Rao smiled contemptuously and informed them of the discovery that mosquitoes were afraid of aromatherapy. After hearing the news, he was ecstatic and turned around to leave. Tuo and Rao looked at his chameleon face, shook hands and smiled bitterly at each other.
"The Fragrance of the Moon"
How ridiculous the world is
Ambition is as high as the sky
Conceited to be the primate of all things
All proud
Look at the world with cold eyes
The frog in the well is arrogant and carefree
Forgot to laugh for a moment
scream with fear
How can mosquitoes arise from the sky?
The plague is coming
Love and hate are wiped out
I am helpless and ask the gods to bless me until I grow old.
Mosquitoes want to escape when they come
Find ways to protect yourself
sweep with pride
Weak knees and timidity
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, throwing away right and wrong
Bow down to the demon
The smoke curls up from the moon
Mosquitoes suffocate to death
The plague is gone
Eyes looking towards the sky again
The scars are healed and the pain is forgotten
Just care about the present
Mosquitoes are afraid of incense. What kind of incense material is the most effective in repelling mosquitoes? Tuo and Rao thought of this, collected various plants, roasted them on the fire and ground them into powder to make incense for testing. It took less than ten days.
, they explored a good recipe, using mugwort powder, cloves, perilla leaves, mint, Puchang, tangerine peel, Anxiomian, etc. and mud to make incense, and named it mosquito-repellent incense.
The Shanghai boss had some research on traditional Chinese medicine. While listening to the story, he took the mosquito-repellent incense that was lit in front of the old Ke family hall and sniffed it: "This is indeed a home-made mosquito-repellent incense. But I checked it on Baidu. Mosquito-repellent incense only appeared in the Song Dynasty, especially in Anxi."
It came from the Western Regions, your story is from the wrong time."
Lao Ke felt that he was lying when he accused him, so he blushed and said: "This is what the older generation passed down to me. Rest in peace and it will be on the mountain after me."
Jin Huabin hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "A folk story is just a legend, but since the Han Dynasty, Taoist priests have gathered in Xianju. Incense is a tool for Taoist priests to communicate with gods. It is not surprising that mosquito repellent incense was invented from incense."
In order to prove that he was not lying, Lao Ke rushed back to his room, took out an old notebook, opened one of the pages, pointed to the words on it and said: "My grandfather has memorized the mosquito-repellent incense song."
"Mosquito Repellent Song"
The buzzing of mosquitoes makes me sleepy.
The voice is like a coaxing girl
The little girl was in her sleep.
It greedily sucks the blood
Mosquitoes suck blood, well, there is also Peleg.
Mosquito-repellent incense disappears without a trace
The rich man sucks blood, oh, so hard
Borrowing money in disaster years and earning real profits
Xiao Hei lost his father and borrowed two ounces of money.
Turn ten taels into one hundred and twenty taels
I have no choice but to sell my house, and sell Tianle again.
Even if I wear my shorts, I still can’t get enough of them
In the end, I sold myself and became a long-term worker.
Carrying on the family line without descendants
Pray to Heavenly Mother, oh, pass me the fragrance
One burn will drive away the tigers and werewolves
Jin Huabin took it and looked at it. It was written in ink on old rice paper. Although the calligraphy level was very poor, the authentic traditional Chinese characters did have some age and were not forged by Lao Ke. He quickly took out his camera and wanted to take some photos. Lao Ke was busy.
Huzhu said: "This is what our ancestors left behind, so we can't take care of it."
