Chapter 106: Siam Night (3)
"In the dream, I came to a plain covered with bones, and it was full of carcasses of various animals.
A raven with only bones left in its head flew up to me and asked me, 'Why did you come to the land of dreams?' I told him: 'To seek justice, to seek wisdom, to seek enlightenment.' ’
But the crow asked me, 'Fair? How can there be any fairness in the world? Fairness only belongs to those in power, and you won't find that kind of thing here.
Although wisdom is the experience of every life, a small journey does not allow you to grasp all the truth.
Enlightenment, though, is the duty of dreams, and I can help you. ’
At this point, it circled and flew up, and where its gaze was pointing, I saw the highest mountain in the world.
The crow told me that there was a cave in the mountain, and that there lived a dream cat in the cave. He is the ruler of this world, and if I want to find out, I can go to him. But remember, you can't stop on the road, you have to keep going......"
The Siamese cat's gaze looked into the distance, just as she had looked at the mountain in her dreams.
"It was a difficult journey. It took me two days and nights just to climb the plain made of bones, and I was tired and thirsty, but fortunately it was just a dream, and I didn't die from it.
Behind the plain was the foot of the mountain, and I entered a rich jungle. The trees were leafy and fruitful, and many cats lined up with pastries and fruits to welcome me......"
"Is there heaven?"
The folded cat couldn't help but lick its mouth.
"No, that's the temptation of the devil."
The Siamese cat heard her whisper and said in a deep voice: "Those cats are souls who have died in comfort, and their voices have been whispering in my ear, trying to make me stop; want me to play with them; want me to continue to fall; They want me to continue to live under human slavery and give up the pursuit of freedom, just like them.
I knew it was a test for me by the gods, and I didn't stop even when I was thirsty and hungry.
I walked through the blazing desert, the blazing sand and gravel scorching my four feet and burying me countless times. When I came out of there, all my fur was burned.
But I crave the truth, so I can't stop!
Then I came to the icy land, where the ground was as hard as a rock and the air was as cold as a knife. Every step I take is pain and suffering, and life is worse than death......
But I'm not going to stop!
After that, I walked through the swamp again. The foul-smelling dirty water soaked my paws day and night, and the dense raindrops paralyzed my wounds.
I walked through the boundless darkness, the endless void. There, I felt like everything about me was sucked away by the darkness, and I forgot who I was and even why I was moving forward.
I, at last, collapsed......"
The Siamese cat's words were ethereal and calm, but the cats who were there to listen were immersed in the scene and felt the deep despair.
The feeling of despair that has given everything and failed to fulfill its wishes!
"Fortunately, the Dream Cat recognized my will, and in the end he reached out to me."
"Great......"
The cats breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel curious about the dream cat in the story.
"When I woke up, I was lying in a verdant forest, and in front of me was the cave that the crow had told me. My wounds were healed, and I was surrounded by water and food.
I ran into the cave desperately, and finally saw the dream cat. I couldn't see what He looked like, except that it was about the shape of a cat, and its eyes were shining, and it seemed to contain a world.
The dream cat told me that I had passed His test and had been given a chance to seek answers.
So I asked Him, and I asked Him why humans were taking my baby, why cats were living as humbly as they are now.
He didn't tell me the answer directly, but made me look into His eyes, which contained truth. ”
The Siamese cat looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds had once again obscured the sky.
"The sight in those eyes was more than I could have imagined!
Generations ago, we were the rulers of this world, and this world was built around our happiness. We're huge, and we can move around freely and draw as much as we want.
At that time, humans were just small animals, they were our slaves, nannies and pets.
Every night when the moon is full, we start hunting humans. Because they are intelligent and much larger than rats and birds, they are quite interesting to catch. ”
The Siamese cat smiled, and the cats in the audience were shocked by the wonderful statement.
"But...... Why is this the way it is? The beautiful short cat couldn't help but ask.
"One day, a man appeared among the human race.
It was a blonde man who was born in the garden of a benevolent she-cat. This insignificant human being has a dream, an inspiration.
He walked among the human beings and told their fellow citizens.
Dream and use your dreams to reshape the world and change their future. In that world, they are the kings, they are the masters, and even the gods who change the laws of the universe!
He asked humans to dream of a new world, a world where they didn't have to be killed by cats. He believes that as long as enough people live together with the dream, then the dream will become a reality.
This statement is circulated among human beings, and some people take it seriously.
So, they started having this dream together.
In the beginning, nothing happened. But one night, at last, enough humans dreamed of the world they wanted.
It doesn't take too many people at all, just a thousand are enough.
When a thousand people start telling the same lie, the lie becomes the truth.
And when a thousand people start having the same dream, the dream will also become a reality!
The next day, everything changed.
They grow taller, and we become smaller. The streets are full of steel monsters created by them, and we, who are small, can only do what they like and humiliate themselves as playthings in order not to be preyed. ”
"Ah???h
Countless cats have blown up, and this "truth" is obviously too tragic for them.
"When I first saw this reality, I reacted the same way as you. I asked the dream cat, is it true that humans have reshaped the world like this through dreaming?
His answer was no, saying that humans had simply created a world in their dreams that would function the way it is now. They obeyed the law and rewrote the universe, from the beginning of all things to the end of time! ”
"This is the truth of the dream world! That's the answer the Dream Cat gave me! ”
When he said this, the Siamese cat's eyes lit up, and his voice became high: "Since humans can reshape the world in this way, then we can also change the world back in the same way!" As long as there are enough cats to dream of this world, as long as there are enough cats to dream the same dream! We can change the universe too! Create a paradise that belongs to us! ”
After listening to the Siamese cat's speech, the cats had different expressions.
Some of them were shocked; Some think so; And more of them are scoffing.
This Siamese cat has traveled through the vast grasslands; Visited the ancient mountains and rivers; He has also left footprints on the street corners of various bustling cities, in order to let enough cat people dream of that world.
But the world hasn't changed for a long time, and that says it all.
Seeing the reactions of the cats, the Siamese cat's face showed no impatience and gracefully withdrew.
The group of cats dispersed and rushed to their own dens.
Although the truth from the mouth of the Siamese cat is difficult for the cats to accept, it is still a good story and easy to attract some younger cats.
For example, the black and white striped little beauty is short, and then the cute and petite folded ear cat.
They rubbed comfortably on their warm blankets, their eyes still shining before they fell asleep.
