Do bugs really exist?

Poisonous insects refer to the legendary artificially cultivated poisonous insects. The production method is to put all kinds of poisonous insects in a closed container and let them fight each other inside. The last one left is called poisonous insect.

From the numerous historical materials found at present, it can be found that this law has existed since the pre-Qin period and is recorded in Zuo Zhuan. The description of the Bug in the book is very detailed, so Bug should exist, and many old people in Miao Village believe in these things very much. But with the development of science and technology, the insect method has gradually disappeared.

The legendary method of practicing magic.

Legend has it that before the cultivation of dharma, the main hall should be cleaned, and the whole family, old and young, should bathe, burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral shrine sincerely, and silently pray to the gods of heaven and earth. Then dig a big pit in the center of the main hall and bury a vat. The cylinder mouth and abdomen should be large to facilitate the cover.

The mouth of the jar must be as flat as the earth. Wait until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (Duanyang), then go to the fields to catch twelve kinds of pests (not the reptiles caught in Duanyang that day can't be kept), put them in the jar, and then cover them.

After these twelve kinds of insects are put into the jar, the owner and his family pray once every night after falling asleep and once every day before getting up. Pray nonstop for a year. Moreover, when you pray for blessings, you must never let outsiders know. If outsiders know about it, their magic worms will be collected by wizards and used by wizards, and their owners will die. Even if it is not taken away by the mage, it will do harm to the master after it becomes a method.

One year, those poisonous insects ate each other in the jar. The poisonous ones ate less, the strong ones ate the weak ones, and finally there was only one left. This poisonous insect changed its shape and color after eating the other eleven.

A year later, the master dug up the jar and put it in a secret room without air and light. It is said that Gu likes to eat fried eggs with lard, rice and the like. After three or four years of breeding, Gu was about ten feet long, so the owner picked an auspicious day to open the cylinder head and let Gu fly out by himself.
