Tomato's ears twitched as he spoke, and some money floated out of his ears. There were banknotes, coins, bits and pieces, and quite a few.
"I usually collect this money when I see it outside, and some of it was collected by friends nearby, so I took it all back."
"Yes! You said you were yours yesterday. Do you still have a partner?"
"Yes, but most of them are small animals around."
"Then are there people like you who have become monsters?"
"There is no such thing at the moment. Alas, it is very difficult to become a demon. If you have wisdom, you must have an opportunity. If you have an opportunity, you must have luck. If you have luck, you must work hard. Only then can you have a ten thousand, no, one in ten million possibility.
Start practicing."
"You said yesterday that you were a human being, almost a human being. I checked around today and didn't see this statement. How did you know your level?"
"It's mentioned in Journey to the West. In it, Tathagata Buddha said that there are five immortals in the sky, gods, humans and ghosts in heaven and earth. I just divided them up like that."
"...Journey to the West is a novel, okay? You haven't updated... the scientific system. No, this matter can't be said to be scientific. Don't you have any seniors to give you some advice?"
Tomato lowered his head and said: "There are really very few like us, and in the animal kingdom the jungle is the strongest. When I meet those seniors, it's too late to hide. When you meet a tiger, are you afraid? Do you run away? I don't know about other monsters.
How to practice? Everything I learned was realized by myself after hearing it from an adult. The adult studied Taoism when he was young, and I heard him talk about some methods of breathing and exhalation. I have also followed these methods when eating the moon these years.
Come."
I looked at Tomato speechlessly, and suddenly I felt that she was quite pitiful. It was like I was studying abroad, working and immigrating here, and the classmates and friends around me who came to study with me were slowly leaving this city and this place for various reasons.
Moreover, former classmates and friends in China rarely get in touch because of geographical and time difference issues. And as parents get older, they are no longer willing to let their parents worry and work hard. In other words, they only report good news but not bad news.
Let’s talk. She is an old cat that has lived for 500 years and has been reincarnated many times. She must not have many friends around her, let alone relatives. I suddenly reached out my hand and gently touched Tomato’s little head. She
He raised his head in surprise, his pupils first shrank to the minimum, then to the maximum, and then he slowly lowered his head and let me touch him.
"Let's study it. I think the knowledge you may have is wrong. Since you read the book, you know the Legend of White Snake. In it, Xiao Qing can transform into another form after practicing for 500 years, and his magic power is not small. You should be able to do it too.
", I said looking at Tomato. Tomato looked at me seriously, said nothing, and nodded gently.
But before that, I need to get a mobile phone for Tomato. I took the computer, opened the website of the mobile phone store, and started to choose a mobile phone for Tomato. After all, she is a female cat, so she shouldn’t like black and white like me.
Color, and white is easy to get dirty. In the end, I chose a dark blue mobile phone. The storage space is not very large, 64g, but the running speed is relatively fast, and the screen is clear, scratch-resistant and waterproof, so she can do whatever she wants.
"Well, the parameters are (how many)...it can (do)...what it can (do)...pixels (how much)...the specific value is (a number)..."
"Okay, I like the color, and I can wake it up directly with a call, so that's it."
"..." As expected, the female cat is also a woman and doesn't care about the parameters at all.
After finalizing a beautiful mobile phone in 10 minutes, we started looking for the so-called cultivation system. This was difficult because now the Internet is full of all kinds of cultivation novels and fantasy novels, which are much more complicated than Tomato just reading Journey to the West. I really
I was dazzled by what I saw, so I asked Tomato: "You have been reincarnated so many times, haven't you got any useful information? For example, someone has said something to you, mentioned something to you, even if you are assigned to different gates of life and death, reincarnation gates, etc.
of?"
"No, the memories of my previous lives are all connected. Basically, they were in a large square and walked through the reincarnation gate. Later, I started to need to retrieve the memories by myself. Sometimes I don't know what happened."
"Can you think about it specifically, what happened in your life? That led to differences in your subsequent reincarnations?"
"The biggest difference is actually that I can now speak human voices and say something in a snap. I sometimes go to the mountains to practice in the dead of night."
"Is this a transition for you? Since then, you have become special, even if you have officially started reincarnation? So you also need to drink Meng Po soup?"
"Then why can I retrieve the memories of my previous life later?" Tomato tilted his head and asked me. I was speechless for a moment, but since it started with reincarnation, let's start investigating reincarnation.
I opened Baidu and started searching why there is reincarnation, whether animals have reincarnation, and why reincarnation loses memory. Basically, these are all answers given by powerful monks today. Some say it is because of the cultivation of the soul, the body dies, but the soul does not die.
, so the soul can reincarnate. Some people say that having no memory is to have new cause and effect in this life. Others firmly believe that their pets have reincarnated and even met them.
Both Tomato and I have a black line. First of all, there are too many arguments. Different religions and different sects within religions have their own explanations. Secondly, this seems to be related to faith. Those who believe in Christianity will go to heaven, and those who believe in Buddhism will go to heaven.
Those who believe in Taoism will go to the underworld, and so on. There are various explanations. But the biggest problem with Tomato now is that she first had continuous memories of reincarnation, and then lost them. There is no entry for this
Can explain.
Especially as a demon, there are no other demons who share their cultivation experience on the Internet. This makes sense when you think about it. First of all, the Internet was invented by humans. Demons may have some way of communicating with each other, but it is definitely different from us. Secondly, humans
As the spirit of all things, it is the most suitable for cultivation, both physically and mentally. Tomato also admits this, otherwise so many monsters would have to transform into human form before doing anything.
I compared the Buddhist six-path reincarnation system and found that it is not quite right. The six paths are divided into three good paths and three evil paths. The path of gods, the path of Shura, and the path of human beings are the three good paths, the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, and the hell.
The path is the three evil paths. When a soul enters reincarnation, it enters different paths according to the cause and effect during life. For example, if someone commits greed, and it is particularly serious, he will be reincarnated into the hungry ghost realm. In other words, this person is greedy.
It looks like a starving ghost. If you follow this explanation, then Tomato, as a cat, should be in the animal realm, and in fact it has always been in the animal realm. According to the Internet, the animal realm is the parallel realm of the human realm, that is to say, it is dependent on humans. Yes.
People who do animal things will be reincarnated into the animal realm. And if they have accumulated good deeds during their lifetime, but they are still reincarnated into the animal realm, they will become powerful animals, such as dragons, tigers, etc. This information still cannot help us.
I pushed the computer away in despair and stretched. Tomato was lying on the table, fiddling with the mouse. "Maybe we are going in the wrong direction?" I said.
"What is the wrong direction? Journey to the West says that anyone with nine orifices in the Three Realms can cultivate immortality. What is wrong with my direction?"
"Journey to the West", "Journey to the West" is a novel, not a spiritual guide. You can't expect to read "Journey to the West" to upgrade. Besides, cats are not mentioned in "Journey to the West". If you think about it carefully, it seems that there was no mention of cats becoming spirits in ancient China.
.They are all foxes and weasels turned into spirits."
"Are cats that miserable?"
"Let me check."
I typed on the computer why no cat became a spirit in Journey to the West, and someone actually answered it. Apart from the reason that the emperor was a cat slave at that time, there is one thing that I think is more reliable, that is, cats were not called cats at the earliest in the Central Plains.
They are called raccoons. The early cats actually refer to lynxes, not the current domestic cats. Moreover, cats were domesticated in the Central Plains about 3,500 years ago, but at that time the Han people already had a fixed fairy class system, and cats could not be included. But
In ancient Egypt and desert areas before 11,000 years ago, cats had already appeared in the list of domestic animals. Therefore, theoretically, the souls of cats came from the Middle East and Africa.
Tomato and I read this information with confusion. Then we concluded that: first of all, the cat practice system should be relatively rare in the Central Plains. Secondly, because cats and raccoons were the same species in ancient times, then civet cats became spirits in ancient times.
Yes, there is, so you can refer to the practice system of civet cats. Thirdly, bobcats are also a type of cat, so theoretically the practice methods of bobcats are also suitable for tomatoes. Now the question is, where can I find these systems of practice methods?
Now Tomato and I are both decadent.
"How about I find my own inner elixir cultivation method for you?"
"I have inner elixir."
"!!You have inner elixir? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"To be precise, I almost did."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not telling you about the thunderstorm that scared me. In fact, in addition to feeling like I could turn into a human being, another feeling I had was that something was condensing in my body. I think it was the inner elixir."
"Hiss, a demon with an inner elixir will be very powerful. I don't know anything else. I have read novels about cultivating immortals. They are basically at the level of the golden elixir. You can walk sideways when you go out."
"You also said that I am used to following Journey to the West, and you also read novels." Tomato said the same thing, so what level is she?
Continuing to read the information, the opinions in different places are really different. Some people ask for a seal first. I asked Tomato, have you asked for a seal? After she denied it, she also said, in case the person who seeks the seal is talking nonsense,
Isn’t that the death of a thousand years of Taoism? Some people say that spiritual wisdom must be opened first, but in this way the plants that become spirits will be very slow, but this is in line with the early stage of tomatoes. She is the cat in front of the saint king Wang Yangming’s throne. Listen to the saint
I grew up speaking. They also said that monster cultivation depends on blood. If you have the blood of some sacred beast, you will be unstoppable in cultivation, and you will have no worries about eating and drinking. I looked at the ordinary tabby cat in front of me and shook my head.
Shake his head. Don't blame me, even Tomato himself doesn't believe it. The last and most common theory is that animals with high spirituality can cultivate themselves. Such as foxes, pythons, and cats.
