Chapter VI

"In our eyes, humans and cats are the same animals, just bigger. When I started thinking about these things, I started to feel that I wasn't the same as some of my playmates around me. Although they and I are both fur-horned people, they don't think, or I should say most of them, they don't care. There is only a big snake in the mountains, and sometimes he is in a daze after eating his fill, and I don't know if he is thinking. But he was so fierce that I didn't dare ask him. But then I found out that he was also wandering around the adult's house, and at first I thought he was trying to steal something, but I didn't expect him to listen to what the adult said. ”

"Stop, you mean, and thinking animals?"

I looked at the tomato in disbelief, and I had a feeling that maybe the so-called animals were not allowed to become sperm after the founding of the People's Republic of China was true. Something like the tomato was not an exception 500 years ago, so what else couldn't have happened. This time, I really listened to Tomato's narrative and was thinking about whether it was true or not.

"Yes, you'll find out later. In your world, there are many cultivating animals, so you humans are too proud and blind. ”

"Yes, yes, you are right, please continue."

Tomato rolled her eyes and looked at me with her huge pupils narrowing and dilating.

I tried to talk to the serpent because I found that he could understand people, but he just couldn't understand what I was saying. That's normal, I don't actually know what he's talking about, but that doesn't stop us from listening to adults. We have a tacit understanding that no one will trouble anyone, and he will help me catch some food when I play in the mountains. ”

"And then?"

Later, the adults moved away from the mountain, as if to say that whoever died, the adults could go out of the mountain. Then several people came to the adults and asked them to go out and give lectures. I went on to a big city with the adults. ”

"Then how can you live for 500 years?"

"Actually, no, I didn't know what enlightenment was, and I didn't know what enlightenment was. Our cultivation is actually very difficult, and it was by chance that I ate the light of the moon at night, and I began to feel different. But I didn't live 500 years, and then I went to a bigger city with my adults. Where the adults started writing books, and it was very busy, I often didn't see him. I eat it myself every night in front of the moon, but not every day. It is better to eat when the moon is full, when you are fullest, and you can't eat anything without the moon."

"You eat the moon? How to eat? Open your mouth to the moon? ”

"Almost, in fact, the main thing is to eat that light, the brighter the light, the better it tastes."

I looked at the tomato speechlessly, I had heard of wolves worshipping the moon, and it was the first time I heard that cats also worshipped the moon.

"And what are you talking about about reincarnation?"

"No matter how you nourish your heart and eat the moon, your lifespan is still limited. It's just that you can live longer than others. I was in Jiajing for thirteen years, and one day I was basking in the sun outside, and I slowly felt that something was wrong, and I floated up. And then nothing is known. ”

"So you're dead? And then, that's not enough for 500 years. ”

Don't worry, I later learned that I was called bardo at that stage. Then I also saw some other people or animals floating in the air like me. Then we all drifted to one place. It's a long time, and I'm still able to leave.

"What do you mean to leave, can you still survive for a while??" I was stunned when I heard this posthumous experience.

"For example, if I think of an adult, I will be able to see an adult right away, and I will be able to enter the mountain again immediately if I think of the mountain before. But after reading it, walking it, and coming back to continue floating, this process is actually continuous, about seven days. ”

"Why does this sound so permeating."

"It's not over yet, my things are weird. I was floating with the rest of the people to a square, and it was a big place, and we were all floating in the air, but concentrated there. And then inexplicably it was reduced to a line and lined up. After several reincarnations, I realized that it was the gate of reincarnation. ”

"Isn't reincarnation going to cross the Nai He Bridge and drink Meng Po soup?"

"That's you humans, we don't need to. We don't actually know how to reincarnate. I've read the books you humans have written, and they're both right and wrong. At least we don't go through the Ten Halls of Yama, and there is no hell to say, anyway, I didn't see it. ”

“…”

"When I opened my eyes again, I was still a cat. I remember the teachings of my lords, and if I don't have a will, there is nothing that can be done in the world. Continue to eat the moon and continue to cultivate. ”

"How many times have you been reincarnated?"

"About 30 times."

"So much! I didn't live long. ”

"Actually, there was a difference later, and this started from the 18th reincarnation. My reincarnation was very strange, it was no longer a matter of waking up and remembering, it was not remembered. Then I was hit by a car, and when I was about to die, I figured out who I was and why I was a cat. ”

"I don't remember every reincarnation in the future?"

"Yes, I think it may be that I have cultivated to a certain extent. At that time, I was basically able to do what a lot of people could do, and I was almost able to refine the bones in my throat. ”

I looked at the tomato speechlessly, and what I started to say was mixed with the so-called ancient emphasis, and now there are all kinds of strange nouns popping up. Eating the moon is worshipping the moon, it should be absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, what is the horizontal bone?

"Don't you know what a crossbone is?"

“… Do you see that too? ”

"Of course, people like you are too easy to see through."

"Who is not easy to see through?"

"If you've ever seen the general flag of the Jinyi Guard, you know what is terrifying, and even some of the small flags and captains are terrible. Actually, I knew that there were such people around adults at the time, but it was difficult to see through it just by my intuition. ”

"Ahem... Let's talk about the horizontal bones. What is a transverse bone? Is it important to practice until the horizontal bones are almost gone? ”

"Of course it's important! The transverse bone is a bone in our throat, also known as the laryngeal bone. Animals are generally much larger than humans, so we can't speak, even if we want to understand and hear, we can't speak. Being able to speak means that I have already entered the level of a ghost. ”

"And ranks?"

"Yes. At first, I was actually a little demon who had just understood the matter, and when I started to speak, I could be regarded as a demon who had officially started to practice. ”

"When is it a stop? You're 500 years old now, what level? ”

"Above the demons are shemales."

"Poof... Is it the Thai kind? It's okay, you continue. ”

"After the shemale cultivator, it is a god demon, an earth demon, and a heavenly demon. I don't know how to cultivate on the Heavenly Demon. ”

"What about you?"

"I could have cultivated as a god and demon, but unfortunately the last time I crossed the tribulation, something terrible happened, I... was knocked down. ”

"What? What did you get knocked down against? ”

"Thunder, it's terrible..."

Tomato's eyes shrank to a slit, his nose twitched and he inhaled, his ears pressed to the back of his head, and his two front paws shrank closer to his body. The tail is tucked between the legs, and the body leans back slightly, as if I had just heard thunder. I now understand why she was afraid of thunder, it turned out that the lightning struck. Let the thunder split, is it doing too many bad things? Aren't demons going to eat people? Journey to the West has even eaten people with the Jade Rabbit Essence, has the tomato also eaten people? Will she eat me? Tell me so much, are you ready to kill people?

I looked nervously at the tomato, who was still immersed in his own memories. I breathed softly, after all, I didn't know if she would suddenly burst out and beat me with a tooth sacrifice.

But soon Tomato came to his senses, looked at me, and asked playfully. "What more do you want to know?"

"Can you eat people?"

"Yes, people are delicious, sweet taste, especially young people, strong blood, nourishing and good."

Tomato started talking to me in the royal voice again, does this mean that I am going to be unlucky?

"Are you going to eat me, then?"

"Eat, you are my reserve. I was in a bad mood that day, so I stewed you! Tomato squinted her eyes and tilted her head to look at me, her pupils began to dilate again, and I always felt that she didn't mean to eat me, so I asked, "Do you still need to stew when you eat people?" Isn't it just eating? Cooked and eaten? ”

"It doesn't taste good to eat directly, but it's delicious when cooked."

"You just said that people are sweet, and now you say that it is delicious when cooked?"

"Then do you want to die a little more happily, or maybe put it in a pot and steam it?"

"Well, you win. To change the subject, can you turn into a human form? ”

Now it's time for me to look at the tomatoes. Tomato's pupils contracted suddenly, and then he slapped it in the face.

"I know what you're thinking, if you're not afraid I'll suck you dry, you can try!"

"Ahh Not what you think. I said, covering my nose.

"I mean, cats talk weirdly, wouldn't it be more convenient if you could become human?" Tomato lowered his head and said faintly: "It used to be, but in fact, when it comes to the shemale stage, 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?"

"Shemales, as the name suggests, can transform into humans. But in the beginning, you can't be very human, you have to learn from people little by little. First start to stand up and walk, then learn to speak, and then slowly think about becoming human, little by little hide the hair, ears, tail, claws and so on on your body. Eventually, you'll become human. But that was also the most terrible time, because when you were completely human, the thunderstorm was coming. So many demons actually still retain a little bit of their own characteristics, and in the case of not having full confidence to resist the thunderstorm, it's better not to become all human. ”

"You were...?"

"Yes, so I'm afraid."

"Then it won't change, people are nothing good, and they are tired to death every day."

"You're wrong, in fact, the human body is the most suitable for cultivation, and many seniors have worked hard all their lives just to transform into a human form, and then cultivation can be a thousand miles a day." Aren't humans animals too? Why? I looked at the tomato with a question mark on my head. Tomato looked at me: "Aren't you going to work?" It's almost 3 o'clock and you're not going to sleep? ”
