Chapter 147 Chapter 51

The origin of the name "Great Grass" and its amazing functions This is how the origin of "Panguillagrass" is (by no means a fictional story, because God doesn't like us to tell such real things as stories), it was discovered by Pagoglia, I don't mean the plant itself, but refers to Its function.It was a discovery that the thieves hated more than moths and weeds are to flax, reeds are to ferns, cedarweeds are to mowers, "lettons" are to peas, weeds are to barley, "axeweeds" To the lentil, the "poisonous weed" to the broad bean, "the tares" to the wheat, the creeping vine to the wall, more strongly opposed and hated; The pupils of the Erle school, the cabbage to the wine⑤, the garlic to the magnet⑥, the onion to the eyesight, the fern seeds to the pregnant women⑦, the catkins to the unruly nuns⑧, the yew tree shade to those who sleep under the trees⑨, the aconitum For leopards and wolves⑩, the scent of figs is to wild bulls (11), agaric poison is to gooses (12), purslane is to teeth (13), and oil is to trees (14).We have also seen bad guys end their lives by hanging from their necks with the "Great Grass", following the example of Phyllis, Queen of Thracia (15), Baonusus, Emperor of Rome (16), Queen Raqiom Amata (17), and Ifes (18), Otorica (19), Licombes (20), Arakna (21), Feder (22), Lida (23), King Achaeus of Lydia (24) and so on.The reason why they don't like "Panga Guai grass" is not because they are sick, but because "Panga Gua grass" suddenly strangles their larynx for speaking nice words and eating good food. Yan is much sadder.

We also hear some people shouting that Paguel had strangled him, just as Atropos cut the thread of his life.But where is this Pagoda?The Pagoda had never done anyone any harm in his life, it was the "Papa Pagoda" who acted as a tie there and used it as a tie for them.They misspoken, made mistakes in words, or they might have been forgiven by misusing metaphors, such as inventors for inventions, Nasirus for bread, and Bagchus. Make wine. I hereby swear to you by the kind words contained in the bottle chilled in this cask, that the venerable Pagoda never chokes a man, except to those who neglect to prevent thirst when it is approaching.

The same is true for the origin of the "Pagoda Grass", because as soon as Pagoda was born, it was as tall as the grass I told you. It is not difficult to measure it. The harvest was in progress, and the barking of Icarus' dog against the sun made all mankind cave dwellers, one by one hiding in burrows and living in the ground. Also, the origin of the name "Great Grass" is because of its functions and characteristics.Just as the paganogrue represents the consciousness and model of the whole consummation of joy (drinkers, I don't think any of you will) Chapter Eighteen, Volume Eighteen.

② The juice of the algae can dull the sickle. ③ Lidanaceae plants are entwined on lima beans, which will suffocate the beans. See Chapter 44 of Volume 18 of "Compendium of Natural History" by Plinius. ④ Lotus root is a sedative, see Chapter 37, Volume 25, of Plinius's "Compendium of Natural History", and priests use it to fight against sexual impulses. ⑤ It is said that cabbage has the ability to sober up. ⑥ The magnet will lose its iron-absorbing function when it is wiped with garlic. ⑦ Fern seeds can abort, see Chapter 55 of Volume 28 of "Compendium of Natural History" by Plinius.

⑧ Catkins are cool in nature and can cure convulsions and impulses. ⑨ The shade of the yew pine tree can be fatal, see Chapter 20 of Volume XVI of Plinius's "Compendium of Natural History". ⑩ Putting aconitum in food can kill wild animals. ① Atropos: One of the three sisters of Pike, the god of destiny, who cuts the thread of life when a person dies. ① One of the figures of speech in rhetoric, also known as synecdoche or synecdoche, that is, to replace the general with the individual. ② It is the constellation of Canis Major, which means that the weather is hot and dry.

Doubt), I think that "Great Grass" also has the same performance, the same strength, the same perfection, and the same astonishing effect.Had these characteristics been known, then (according to the narration of the Prophet3) when the trees had elected the lord of the woods to govern them, there could be no doubt that the "Magnificent Grass" would have received an absolute majority of the votes. Do you want to go on?If Oxylus, the son of Orius, and Hamadrias, his sister, had produced the "Greatgrass," they would have sung more praises of it than the mythologists, and used it The other eight children whose names will last through the ages must be much happier.His eldest daughter was named "Grape Tree," his second boy was "Fig Tree," his third was "Walnut Tree," his fourth was "Oak Tree," and his fifth was "Bonberry Tree." The sixth one is called "Rosewood", the seventh one is called "Poplar", and the last one is called "Elm", who was a famous surgeon at that time②.

I can also tell you that squeezing out the juice of the "Gumbago" and dripping it into the ear will kill all the parasites produced by the corruption and any worms that get inside.If you pour this juice into a small bucket of water, you will see that the water in the bucket immediately coagulates, like milk, and has a very powerful effect.This condensed water is a good remedy for colic and rib flapping in horses. The root of this grass, after being boiled in water, can soften the stiff tendons, contracted joints, hardened rheumatism and numb gout. If you need first aid for burns, no matter whether they are scalded by water or fire, you only need to apply the fresh "Huangguai Grass" dug out from the ground, and you don't need other things and medicines.Just keep an eye out for the grass to dry out on the wound and replace it with fresh ones.

If there is no such grass, the kitchen will be filthy, and even if the dining table is full of fish and meat delicacies, people will not bother to approach it; no matter how well the bed is decorated with gold, silver, alloys, ivory, and precious stones, no one will eat it. love it.Without this grass, the miller could not carry grain into the mill, or flour out.Without this kind of grass, how can a lawyer go to court with a defense statement⑥?How is gypsum transported into the factory?How do you get the water out of the well⑦?Those recorders, secretaries, writers, what else is there to do?Won't paperwork and contracts disappear?Isn't the great typography useless?What do you use to paste the windows?How to ring the church bell?Isis priests use it as decoration, priests in temples use it to make clothes, and all human beings mainly use this grass to cover their bodies.All the wool trees of Selica, the cotton trees of Tyros in Persia, the cotton wool trees of Arabia, and the cotton of Maltai are not enough to supply the man who makes clothes of this grass.It protects the army from cold and rain, which is much more convenient than using animal skins in the past.It shades the theater from the sun, surrounds the woods and hunting grounds for the hunter, disregards the freshwater and sea water, and launches the fish for the fisherman.Boots, mid-boots, ankle boots, loafers, light boots, stiff-soled shoes, moccasins, slippers, loafers, all are made of it.It also makes bow strings, crossbow strings, and catapult strings.Exactly the same as the sacred verbena, which gods and ghosts especially value, without which the dead simply cannot be coffined.

⑤ Because there is no sack. ⑥ Because there is no hemp bag. ⑦ Because there is no rope. ① Selika: The area north of India is rich in hemp trees. ② Tyros: The name of the island in the Arabian Persian Sea. I could go on and on.With this kind of grass, all invisible objects can be caught, caught, and seized under your witness, just like being put in a prison.Using this kind of grass, heavy and large mills can be turned easily for the benefit of mankind.Seeing its inestimable usefulness, and the intolerable toil men would have to bear in the mills without it, I wonder how it has never occurred to me, all these centuries, that the learned men of the past have never thought of making use of it.

With this kind of grass, wind and waves can be controlled, and large transport ships, spacious passenger ships, strong labor ships, thousand-person ships, and ten-thousand-person ships can all be left by the person in charge of the ship to sail to any place at will. With this grass, all the strange countries that Nature makes us mysterious and incomprehensible, come near to us, and we to them; which is beyond the reach of even a bird, however light its plumage. , no matter what nature has endowed it with the ability to fly freely in the sky.Taplobrana touches Laponia; Java touches the Life Mountains; Fibol Island will touch Tereme; Icelanders and Greenlanders will see the Euphrates.Because of this grass, the god of the north wind saw the residence of the god of the south wind; the god of the east wind visited the region of the god of the west wind.Therefore, all the spirits in the sky, including the gods of water and land, saw that with the help of the magical "Great Grass", Arctic people can see Antarctic people, cross the Atlantic Ocean, cross two tropics, circle the tropics, and pass through the entire zodiac ③, Playing in an area with an even day and night, it was a shock to see the poles on either side of the horizon.The old gods of Olympus were equally disturbed, and they said: "By using the efficacy of this herb, Pagoda has given us new restraints and troubles, which are more powerful than the giants of the past. ④ He will soon marry, and his wife will bear him a son. This is something we cannot do. The fate to resist is spun by the god of fate, the three sisters in charge of "fate", and the hammer. His children (probably) will also find a grass that has the same function, so that humans can use it to spy on The source of hail, the source of rain, and the place where thunderbolts are made; they can occupy the lunar region, enter the realm of celestial bodies, and settle down there. ⑥, some occupy the 'crown'⑦, some occupy the 'Tianqin'⑧, and some occupy the 'silver lion'⑨; The way to become a god. " Finally, the gods decided to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with it. ③ Sri Lanka. ④ Laponia: Northern Europe includes the Soviet Union, Sweden, and northern Norway. ① Life Cong Mountains: The mountains of the ancient Citia country north of the Black Sea. ② Aristotle said that Phoebe Island was in the Arabian Gulf. ③ Take the zodiac as the center and extend nine degrees to the north and south, and there are twelve constellations in it. ④ In mythology, giants tried to climb Mount Olympus to snatch the gods. ⑤ Refers to the eagle constellation, here the author uses some hotel names to describe the constellation where the gods live. ⑥ Refers to the Aries constellation. ⑦ Refers to the band of light around the sun. ⑧ refers to the Lyra constellation. ⑨ refers to the Leo constellation.
