Chapter 374 Buddha Cicada
Dong Tinghua was thinking about Tang Seng in his mind, and at this time, the cicada in front of him suddenly underwent a strange change, Dong Tinghua hurriedly retreated, looking at the scene in front of him in surprise, he couldn't believe it!
There was a monk wearing a robe standing in front of him, this person was none other than Tang Xuanzang, that Jin Chan had long since disappeared, Dong Tinghua was shocked when he saw this, and understood what was going on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt turns out that as long as you think in your heart, the golden Zen in front of you will become something.
Dong Tinghua looked at Tang Xuanzang in front of him with a smile, could it be that Tang Seng looked like this thousands of years ago, didn't they all say that he was the most beautiful man in the world, but looking at this look, he is obviously a fat man, how can there be any image of a beautiful man!
At this time, Zhou Tianyi was still chasing the Cangyin Daoist in the illusion everywhere, Miao Weiqiang was still spinning in circles on the sixth floor, and the old monk was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, looking like a high-ranking monk, chanting scriptures in his mouth!
Listening to Jin Chan's shout, Dong Tinghua eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart, and the Tang Seng in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced by Jin Chan lying on the leaves.
Dong Tinghua looked at the crazy Zhou Tianyi and smiled, Lao Tzu also saved you, thinking that as long as these cicadas are eliminated, they should be able to ** this layer of fantasy formation.
When the strong yin qi flew towards Jin Chan, Jin Chan's body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the strong yin qi was blocked out.
Dong Tinghua looked at these golden cicadas in surprise, and couldn't believe that these cicadas could actually block his powerful blow!
Could it be that these golden Zens have become Buddhas, impossible! Aren't these cicadas too weird, the lifespan of the cicadas is only one summer, how can they cultivate to become a Buddha. Dong Tinghua often caught cicadas when he was a child, and he still knows cicadas very well, but these cicadas are different! Is it really like the legend, these cicadas are the second greatest disciples of the Buddha, and all of them are golden Zen who has attained Buddhahood!
The larvae of cicadas live in the soil and have a pair of strong digging forefeet. The sap of plant roots is sucked by the piercing and sucking mouthparts to weaken the tree, make the branches die, and affect the growth of the tree. Usually stay in the soil for a few years or even more than ten years, such as 3 years, 5 years, and 17 years, these numbers have one thing in common, they are all prime numbers.
This is because there are very few factors in prime numbers, which can prevent them from drilling out with other cicadas when they drill out of the soil, competing for territory and food. When it is about to be feeaten, it burrows out of the surface at dusk and at night, climbs on a tree, and then grabs the bark of the tree to molt and feather. When a black crack appears on the back of the cicada chrysalis, the molting process begins, the head comes out first, then the green body and wrinkled wings are revealed, and it stays for a moment to harden the wings and darken the color, and then it begins to take off.
The whole process takes about an hour. At the end of June, the larvae begin to emerge into adults, and the newly fledged cicadas are green, with a maximum lifespan of about 60~70 days. In late July, female adults begin to lay eggs, and the peak oviposition is in early and mid-August, and the eggs are mostly laid on the branches with a thickness of 4~5 mm. In summer, they make loud noises in the trees, suck the sap with a needle mouthpiece, and the larvae inhabit the soil and suck the sap from the roots, which is harmful to the trees.
Molting is controlled by a hormone. The front legs of the cicada chrysalis are hooked, so that when the adult worm emerges from the empty shell, it can hang firmly on the tree. It is very important that the cicada pupae face vertically towards the tree.
This is for the normal development of the adult wings, otherwise the wings will be deformed. The cicada uses the shell of the chrysalis as a base and slowly frees itself, like crawling out of a suit of armor. The whole process takes about an hour.
When the cicada's upper body is free, it hangs upside down and spreads its wings. At this stage, the cicada's wings are soft, and they spread them out through the fluid tubes in them. The body fluid tube is caused by the pressure of the fluid to extend the wings. By the time the liquid is pumped back into the cicada's body, the spread wings have already hardened.
If a cicada is disturbed while its wings are spreading, the cicada will be crippled for life, perhaps unable to fly at all, and unable to vocalize.
Whenever the cicada is thirsty and hungry, it will always insert its hard mouthparts into the trunk of the tree to suck the juice all day long, inhale a large amount of nutrients and water into its body, and use it to prolong its life. The cicada grows in the soil before it is mature, and then slowly digs a hole and climbs on the trunk, if it is found that there is a thin mud in the soil robbery hole, there must be a young cicada, the cicada is lying on the trunk at night to shed its shell, and it has wings after shedding its shell.
The male cicada will chirp, its articulator in the abdominal muscles, like a large drum covered with a layer of eardrum, the eardrum is vibrated and produces sound, because the sound muscle can be contracted about 10,000 times per second, the cover plate and the tympanic membrane is empty, can play a role in resonance, so its song is particularly loud.
And can take turns to sing passionately in a variety of different tones. The male cicadas sing every day to lure the female to mate, and they cannot hear their "song". The males of each species produce three different calls: aggregate sounds, which are regulated by daily weather changes and other male calls; courtship sounds before mating; The gruff sound of being caught or frightened and flying away. The female cicada's musical instrument is not fully constructed and cannot make sounds, so it is a "dumb cicada". Some species are easier to identify by their vocalization, behavior, and morphology.
The cicada is a male cicada, its articulator is at the base of the abdomen, like a large drum covered with a layer of tympanic membrane, the eardrum is vibrated and makes sound, because the sound muscle can be expanded and contracted about 10,000 times per second, the cover plate and the eardrum is empty, can play a role in resonance, so its song is particularly loud. And can take turns to sing passionately in a variety of different tones. Because the female cicada's musical instrument is not fully constructed and cannot make sounds, it is a "dumb cicada".
In June ~ July every year, it will turn from a pupae into an adult and then lay eggs in just a few days, starting from the eggs, to the process of the nymphs living in the ground, until the last time they shed their shells and become adults, and they are loud in the trees, which usually takes one to two years.
Among the cicadas, their larvae are also called "nymphs", their male cicadas will make sounds to attract female cicadas to mate with them, and they use their sharp oviposition tubes to lay eggs close to the tree, and the larvae will not hatch until the next year, and then live in the soil for a few years or even more than ten years before breaking through the soil.
In a long life, they have to go through many shells, and the next shelling is when they become adults, and when they become adults, they make sounds, and the sound made by male cicadas is at a high frequency of hundreds of times per second, constantly vibrating the two tympanic membranes located in the abdomen to make a sharp and loud sound. This sound helps the female cicada determine the appropriate position of the male cicada for mating. (To be continued.) )
