"In our eyes, humans and cats are actually the same animals, just bigger. When I started thinking about these things, I began to feel that I was different from some of the playmates around me. Although I and they were both
People like Mao Daijiao, but they don’t think, or I should say most of them don’t care about thinking. There is only one big snake in the mountains. Sometimes he will be in a daze after eating. I don’t know if he is thinking. But at that time he
He was so fierce that I didn't dare to ask him. But later I found that he was also wandering near where the adults live. At first I thought he wanted to steal something, but I didn't expect that he was also listening to what the adults said."
"Stop, you mean, there are animals that can think?"
I looked at the tomatoes in disbelief. I had a feeling that maybe the saying that animals were not allowed to become sperm after the founding of the People's Republic of China was true. Things like tomatoes were not an exception 500 years ago, so what else could have happened?
.This time I really patiently listened to Tomato’s narrative and considered whether this matter was true or false.
"Yes, you will know this in the future. In your human world, there are too many practicing animals, so you humans are too proud and blind."
"Yes, your education is right, please continue."
Tomato rolled his eyes and looked at me with his huge pupils narrowing and then dilating.
"I later tried to talk to the snake, because I found that he could actually understand human speech, but just couldn't understand what I said. This is normal. I actually don't know what he said, but this does not prevent us from talking.
Listen to what the adults say. We have a tacit understanding that no one will make trouble for the other, and when we play in the mountains, he will help me catch some food."
"What happened next?"
"Later, the master moved away from the mountain. It seemed that after someone died, the master could leave the mountain. Then several people came to see the master and asked him to continue to give lectures. So I followed the master to a big city."
"Then how can you live 500 years?"
"Actually, no, I didn't know what enlightenment was or what enlightenment was at that time. Our cultivation is actually very difficult. It was by chance that I ate the light of the moon at night, and I started to feel different.
But I didn’t live for 500 years either. Later, I went to a bigger city with the adults. There, the adults started writing books and were very busy, so I often couldn’t see him. I just ate by myself in front of the moon every night, but
You can’t eat it every day. It’s best to eat it when the moon is full, when you’ll eat the most. If there’s no moon, you won’t be able to eat anything.”
"You eat the moon? How? Do you open your mouth to the moon?"
"Absolutely. In fact, the main thing is to eat the light. The brighter the light, the more delicious it is."
I looked at the tomatoes speechlessly. I had heard of wolves worshiping the moon, and this was the first time I heard that cats also worshiped the moon.
"Then what is the reincarnation you are talking about?"
"No matter how much you nourish your mind or how much you eat the moon, your lifespan is still limited. You can just live longer than others. I was in Jiajing for thirteen years, and one day I was basking in the sun, and I gradually felt something was wrong.
It started to float. Then I didn’t know anything anymore.”
"Then you die? And then, even 500 years is not enough."
Don't worry, I later learned that the stage I was in was called the Bardo. Then I also saw some other people or animals floating in the air like me. Then we all floated to the same place. This time was very long,
And I can still leave.
"What do you mean by leaving? Can you still live for a while??" I was stunned for a while after hearing this experience after death.
"For example, if I miss the adults, I can see them right away. If I miss the mountains in the past, I can go back to the mountains right away. But after I finish reading, I finish walking, I come back and continue floating. This process is actually continuous, and it probably lasts
Seven days."
"Why does this sound so scary?"
"It's not over yet. My thing is rather strange. I floated to a square with other people. The place was very big. We were all floating in the air, but we were concentrated there. Then we were inexplicably grouped into a team.
, lined up in a line. After several reincarnations, it happened like this, and I realized that it was the Gate of Reincarnation."
"In reincarnation, don't you have to cross the Naihe Bridge and drink Meng Po soup?"
"That's for you humans, we don't use it. We don't actually know how to reincarnate. I have read the books written by you humans, and they are both correct and incorrect. At least we don't go through the Ten Halls of Yama, and there is no such thing as hell. Anyway, I am
Didn’t see it.”
“…”
"When I open my eyes again, I will still be a cat. I will bear in mind the teachings of the adults. Nothing can be accomplished in the world without determination. Continue to eat the moon and continue to practice."
"How many times have you been reincarnated?"
"About 30 times."
"So many! You won't live long in this lifetime."
"Actually, there were differences later on. This started from the 18th reincarnation. My reincarnation was very strange. I no longer remembered things when I woke up, but I couldn't remember them. Then I was hit by a car and was about to die.
When I was young, I figured out who I was and why I was a cat.”
"You won't remember every reincarnation in the future?"
"Yes, I think it may be because I have cultivated to a certain level. By then I could basically do what many people can do, and I was almost ready to refine the crossbones in my throat."
I looked at the tomato speechlessly. What I said at first was mixed with the so-called ancient emphasis, but now there are all kinds of strange terms. Eating the moon means worshiping the moon. It should absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. What is the horizontal bone?
?
"Don't you know what Henggu is?"
"...You can also see this?"
"Of course, people like you are too easy to see through."
"Who is not easy to see through?"
"If you have seen the general flag of the Jinyiwei, you will know that it is scary. Even some of the small flags and captains are scary. In fact, I knew that there were such people around you at the time, but I just relied on my intuition and looked directly
It’s hard to see through.”
"Ahem... Let's talk about the horizontal bone. What is the horizontal bone? You said it is important to practice until the horizontal bone is almost gone?"
"Of course it's important! The transverse bone is a bone in our throat, also called the laryngeal bone. The bones of animals are generally much larger than those of humans, so we can't speak. Even if we want to understand and understand, we can't speak. We can.
Talking means that I have already entered the level of a ghost."
"Are there any levels?"
"Yes. In the beginning, I was actually a little demon who just understood things. When I started talking, I became a ghost demon who officially started practicing."
"When is the first stop in cultivation? You are 500 years old now, what level are you at?"
"The ghost demon is a human demon."
"Pfft...the Thai kind? It's okay, you can continue."
"After cultivating, the human demon will become a divine demon, an earth demon, and a celestial demon. I don't know how to cultivate above the celestial demon."
"how about you?"
"I could have cultivated into a god and demon, but unfortunately, something terrible happened during my last tribulation, and I... was beaten down."
"What? What knocked you down?"
"Jie Lei, so scary..."
Tomato's eyes suddenly shrank until there was only a slit, his nose twitched and he breathed, his ears were stuck to the back of his head, and his two front paws were retracted, closer to his body. His tail was sandwiched between his legs, and his body leaned back slightly.
, it was like hearing thunder just now. I now understand why she was afraid of thunder. It turned out to be struck by lightning. Did the person struck by lightning have done too many bad things? Didn’t the demon want to eat people? Journey to the West has been repeated.
The Jade Rabbit Spirit eats people, has Tomato also eaten people? Then will she eat me? By telling me so much, are you planning to kill someone?
I looked at Tomato nervously, Tomato was still immersed in her own memories. I breathed softly, after all, I didn’t know if she would suddenly get angry and beat me as a tooth sacrifice.
But soon Tomato calmed down, looked at me, and asked playfully, "What else do you want to know?"
"Can you eat people?"
"Yes, people are delicious. It tastes sweet, especially for young people who are full of energy. It is a good nourishing food."
Tomato started talking to me in the royal voice again. Does this mean I'm going to be unlucky?
"Then will you eat me?"
"Eat, you are my reserve food. I was in a bad mood that day, so I stewed you!" Tomato squinted her eyes, tilted her head and looked at me, her pupils began to dilate again, I always felt that she didn't eat me
He meant it, so he asked: "Do you need to stew people to eat them? Don't you eat them directly? Eat them after they are cooked?"
"It doesn't taste good when eaten directly, but it tastes good when cooked."
"You just said it smells sweet, but now you say it tastes delicious when it's cooked?"
"Then do you want to die happily, or steam it in a pot?"
"Okay, you win. To change the subject, can you turn into human form?"
Now it's time for me to look at Tomato with a lustful look. Tomato's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he slapped me.
"I know what you are thinking. If you are not afraid that I will suck you dry, then come and try it!"
"Ah! It's not what you think." I said, covering my nose.
"I mean, cats talk very strangely. Wouldn't it be more convenient if you could turn into a human?" Tomato lowered his head and said faintly: "It used to be possible, but in fact, when you reach the stage of a human being, you can transform into a human form.
It’s just that I can’t do it now, I’m afraid.”
"What's so scary about this, what's so special about it?"
"Shemale, as the name suggests, can transform into a human being. But in the beginning, it is impossible to look like a human being. You have to learn to look like a human being little by little. First, stand up and walk, then learn to talk like a human being, and then slowly think about yourself.
Turn into a human form and hide the hair, ears, tail, claws, etc. bit by bit. Finally, you will become a human. But that is also the most terrifying time, because when you are completely like a human, the thunder tribulation
It’s coming soon. So many demons actually still retain some of their own characteristics. If you are not completely confident that you can withstand the thunder tribulation, it’s better not to turn into human beings.”
"You were...?"
"Yes, that's why I'm afraid."
"Then it won't change. There's nothing good about people. I'm so tired that I die every day."
"You are wrong. In fact, the human body is the most suitable for cultivation. Many seniors have worked hard all their lives just to transform into human form, and then they can make rapid progress through cultivation." Aren't humans also animals? Why? I looked at the tomato with a question mark on my head. The tomato looked at it.
Looking at me: "Aren't you going to work? It's almost 3 o'clock, aren't you going to sleep?"
