Chapter 5
The quilt on the bed had been opened, and the hole that had just been drilled out of it was still there, and the tomato in it was gone. I immediately turned on the light, looked at the bathroom, looked at the cupboard, looked at the bottom of the bed, everything I could find. Tomatoes are gone? What do you mean, is she gone? Did she leave the house? Does that mean she didn't want to eat me? So what does she want to do? How is it so magical, I'm not dreaming. I'm not so confused that I can't tell the difference between dream and reality. Is she really gone?
I walked downstairs in confusion, and then I saw Tomato sitting on a chair and looking at me coldly, his paw on the table, which had the record card I had just put away.
I was stunned, it turned out that she was following me. Does that mean she actually woke up, but didn't show it? Does that mean she's playing with the eyes of the heart? What does she want to do?
The scene was so comical now, a cat sitting on a chair with its paws on the table like a hand, tapping gently. I was standing in the doorway, my hand still on the switch of the light. We're back to the state where you don't move, I don't move. It's clear that the game has already been broken, what else should I do?
I looked at the tomato and took a deep breath, her expression should not have been like she wanted to eat me. I jerked towards the table, and Tomato's eyes widened and his pupils shrank sharply. I looked at her, and she looked at me, as if she was sniffing in the direction I was.
"You understand what I'm saying, don't you? You must have been talking upstairs, right? I pressed my hand on the table, looked at Tomato condescendingly, and began to talk to her, am I a third type of contact? Instead of replying directly, Tomato jumped onto the table and stood on two hind legs, one front paw pressed against my shoulder and one paw dangling in the air. Then he stared me in the eye and said, "I know what you're thinking, you're shocked right now, right?" ”
Truth be told, I didn't dare move when she jumped onto the table and pressed one paw down on me. Really shocking, who could have imagined this feeling. A cat, with human-like behavior, she wants to be my equal, and she basically talks to me face to face. And the voice is a bit of a royal sister.
I'm sure my eyes must have betrayed me, because Tomato immediately said to me in a loli tone, "Do you feel better this way?" At the same time, the eyes became crooked. Oh my God, it's a cat that can play with voice change and change face? It's really... It's weird. I immediately left her paws, took a half step back, then pulled out my chair and sat down, but my eyes kept on the tomato.
Tomato also returned to the form of a cat, squatting on the table. "That's a lot better, didn't you just want to be condescending? Do you think I won't know about this little trick? Tomato talked to me playfully, and the royal sister emphasized with a mouthful of words.
"I'll admit, I'm a little overwhelmed." I replied, "But are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?" "Why did I tell you?" Tomato spoke to me in a loli accent again, and I could see that her eyes were full of treachery.
It's not easy to do, it's different from what I thought. What did I say? Yes, just ask her if she's a goblin. "So what can you say? You don't think a cat suddenly speaks, and then let me accept it calmly."
"You just look calm right now"
"Would you like to see my legs?" Tomato and I didn't have a word. "Well, I'd love to know, who the hell are you?". I wanted to say what the hell you are, but I was afraid that she would bite me, so I changed the word to respect.
"I want to thank you for waking me up."
"What?"
"I stole beef that day, and you knocked me to the ground, don't you remember? You woke me up. ”
"So you were asleep?". An inappropriate joke in exchange for a roll of the eyes. Cats also roll their eyes?
"You humans are actually very arrogant, I wonder how much I can tell you, and I don't know how much you can believe"
"I have spoken to you like this, you can say anything, I believe anything, you say that you are God, and I will believe you who come down to enlighten me."
"I'm a cat."
"Tell me something I don't know."
"I'm over 500 years old, to be exact."
"What? I really don't know this, I just remember that your birthday is August 2nd, Leo cats, by now it should be 8 months less than 9 months, and humans should be about 13. ”
"Thank you for remembering my birthday, I don't need you to remind me how old I am! I mean, I've been cultivating for about 500 years. ”
"How do you cultivate? I watched you grow up. ”
"I won't talk nonsense!"
"Okay, I was wrong, go ahead."
"Phew, do you usually talk to people like that? Didn't anyone hit you? ”
"Don't talk nonsense!!"
The tomato gave me a white look, and then she actually ran to get a cup and took some water, she was going to drink it while talking?? Why don't you give me a drink?
"You're just going to pour a glass?"
"Don't you humans like us drinking the water from your cups?" Well, I'm speechless.
I took a glass of water and sat down across from her.
"Please start your show."
"Believe it or not, I can eat you!"
"Faith, go ahead"
"Our animal cultivation is actually very difficult, we are born with no spiritual intelligence, we can't learn, we can only rely on our nature to explore, or encounter a big opportunity." "I know this, I've watched the Romance of the Gods, and those who intercept the sect are all cultivated by animals."
"You're a novel! Can it be the same? The real situation is even worse. In fact, many of us cultivate by being reborn. ”
"What? Rebirth? Don't cross? ”
"Shut up !! me"
"Okay."
"Don't interrupt me, or I won't talk about it!" “…”
"I was actually born in the first year of Zhengde, and I was also a cat at that time, catching birds every day, eating secretly, or going to restaurants and tea shops to beg for a living. Cats were similar to cats now, and life and danger were the same. One day I went to a tea shop to look for food, and was tricked by a few muddy boys, locked in a wooden box, and prepared to sink me into the river. Fortunately, God had mercy on me and was rescued by an adult, and I followed him. ”
“… Did you all talk like that back then? Or is it just you? Can you speak human words? No, can you speak in the vernacular, and no, can you speak in the vernacular? ”
"Shafts can't be taught! I was saved! ”
"Oh, go on, who saved you?"
"This person's surname is Wang, and his name is guarded by the upper and lower benevolence."
"The king is scary?
", can you be serious?"
"Okay, I'm just active in the atmosphere, this person's name is Wang Shouren? Haven't heard of it. ”
"That's your loneliness, he is Bo'an."
Bo'an doesn't know, I know Guoan. As I spoke, I took out my mobile phone, opened Baidu, and began to look for Wang Boan. Originally, I thought that it was impossible for a random ancient person to have any records. Sure enough, the first search result that popped up was a Taiwanese teacher, this one is definitely not, he's still alive. But I'm going to show this search to Tomato. Tomato looked at the phone, then clicked on the third connection and said, "Can't you just be a little patient and look more?" ”
The third link reads: Wang Bo'an (historical figure). Born and died: October 31, 1472 – January 9, 1529. Wang Shouren, whose real name is Wang Yun, is Bo'an, Yangming, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and is of Han nationality. An outstanding thinker, writer, military strategist, and educator of the Ming Dynasty, the son of Wang Hua, the secretary of Nanjing. Later generations were generally called Wang Yangming, and his doctrine was known as "Yangmingxue", which had an important and far-reaching influence in China, Japan, and the Korean Peninsula.
I was shocked when I saw it, Wang Shouren, I don't know who it is, Wang Yangming, I've heard of it. There are often various videos on the Internet, saying that Wang Yangming's mind is a teacher of the Chinese spirit, what is the highest wisdom in China in the past 500 years, and a saint alongside Zhu Xi, etc. I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run somewhat. It seems to be about the unity of knowledge and action, that is, it is best to test your ideas while working. Anyway, it's a very awesome person.
I looked at Tomato again, then looked at her quizzically, and said, "You're talking about him?" Is it really him? ”
"Well, yes."
"He is a master of Confucianism and is known as a sage of the mind. What do you have to do with him? ”
"If you don't interrupt, I'll tell you slowly."
"Good, good, you say".
"Actually, it's very simple, after I was rescued by him, I went with him to a place where there was nothing but mountains. He didn't seem to be very busy at that time, and he often meditated late with a book in his hand. There are still a few people around him, and he watches them grow vegetables and write every day. Adults are nice and often play with me. It's not like you, after giving you food, you ignore me! ”
"Ahem... Is there something to say? ”
"Humph! Adults are thinking about things every day, writing things, and discussing things with others. If there was no one or it was too late, he would say to me, and he would say that it was called reading three times. One night, the adults suddenly became interested, and they were still talking about the way of the saints, I am self-sufficient, and those who seek reason from things are mistaken! ”
“… Translation"
Actually, I didn't know very well at the time, it seemed that he felt that what he had learned before was wrong, but in fact, he knew what he meant. Later, several generations of reincarnation saw that the Buddha was seeking far away in his heart, and felt that it was similar to this meaning. ”
“!! Have you ever read a Buddhist scripture? Which Bodhisattva said this?
"It was Sun Wukong who said it"
Well, you've got a lot of mixed looks. I thought about it, it seems that Journey to the West was written at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so it is really possible that she has read it. The problem is that I don't know as much as a cat.
Unwillingly, he looked at the tomato and continued. An ancient passage came out of the tomato's mouth: "Adults often gave lectures later, and they were in that mountain." I also listened to it along, for example, the saint and the heaven, the earth and the people are the same, and the Confucian Buddha Laozhuang is my use, which is the great road. The two are selfish, which is called a small way. What else is not to be determined, like a rudderless boat, a horse without a title, drifting and galloping, what is the bottom of the end. The one who has the right heart of the human heart is the heart of the Tao; The loss of the Dao heart, and the one who is right, is the human heart. Wait..."
“… Forget it, you say it, I don't understand it anyway. ”
In fact, it is about the development of the mind, a kind of inspiration for making oneself think about oneself. You don't want to be so unmotivated. ”
"Go on..."
"I listen to it a lot, I listen to it for a long time, and sometimes I think about it. At that time, I often wondered, you big cats, how can you think crankily every day, but you look wise. If I think the same way you do, wouldn't things also seem wise, and if this is not the way that adults say, I can actually achieve it? ”
"Wait, what do you call big cats?"
