Chapter VIII

As he spoke, Tomato's ears twitched, and some money floated out of his ear. There are banknotes, there are coins, bits and pieces, and quite a few.

"I usually put away this money when I see it outside, and some of it is collected by my friends nearby, so I take it back."

"That's right! You said yesterday yours, do you still have partners? ”

"Yes, but most of them are small animals around."

"Is there anyone like you, a demon?"

"Not at the moment, alas, it's hard to become a demon. With spiritual wisdom, there must be opportunities, opportunities must also have luck, and with luck, you must be willing to work hard, so that there is a 1 in 10,000 percent, no, 1 in 10,000 possibility of starting to cultivate. ”

"You said yesterday that you were a shemale, and you are almost a demon. I looked around today and didn't see this statement, how did you know your level? ”

"What is said in Journey to the West, if the Buddha says that there are five immortals in Zhoutian, heaven and earth, gods, men and ghosts, I will divide it like that."

“… Journey to the West, that's a novel, isn't it good, you haven't changed... Scientific system. No, it's not science, so don't you have any seniors to remind you of it? ”

He bowed his head under the tomato and said, "There are really very few of us like this, and the animal kingdom is the jungle." It's too late for me to hide when I meet those seniors, are you afraid of meeting a tiger? To run or not to run? I don't know how other demons cultivate, everything I learned was learned by myself after hearing it from adults. When I was young, I studied Taoism, and I heard him say some ways of breathing and breathing. Eating the moon over the years has also been done in accordance with these methods. ”

I looked at Tomato speechlessly, and suddenly felt that she was quite pitiful. It's as if I'm studying here, working, and immigrating, and the classmates and friends around me who came to study slowly leave this city and this place for various reasons. Moreover, former classmates and friends in China rarely contact each other because of geographical and time differences. And as the age of the parents increases, they are no longer willing to let their parents worry about fatigue, so they all report good news and do not report bad news. She is an old cat that has lived for 500 years, has been reincarnated many times, and there must be few friends around, let alone relatives. I suddenly reached out and gently touched the tomato's little head. She looked up in surprise, her pupils shrunk to the minimum, then to the maximum, and then slowly lowered her head for me to caress it.

"Let's study it. I don't think you have the right knowledge. Since you read the book, then you know the legend of the White Snake, the Xiaoqing in it can transform after 500 years of practice, and the mana is not small. You should be able to do the same. I said, looking at the tomato. Tomato looked at me seriously, didn't say anything, and nodded slightly.

But before I do that, I'm going to get a phone for Tomato. I took my computer, opened the website of the mobile phone store, and started to pick out the phone for Tomato. As for her, after all, she is a female cat, and she probably doesn't like black like me, 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, whatever she tosses.

"Well, the parameters are (how much or how much)... What it can do... What else can be done... Pixels (how many, how many)... The specific value is (a number)..."

"Okay, I like the color, and I can wake it up directly with a call, so be it"

Sure enough, the female cat is also a woman, and she doesn't care about the parameters at all.

After finalizing a beautiful phone in 10 minutes, we began to look for the so-called cultivation system. This is difficult, because now the Internet is full of all kinds of Xiuzhen novels and fantasy novels, which is much more cumbersome than just reading Journey to the West at the beginning. I was really dazzled, so I asked Tomato, "You have been reincarnated so many times, don't you have any useful information?" For example, someone has said something about you, and what has been mentioned to you, even if it divides you into different gates of life and death, reincarnation, or something? ”

"No, the memories of my previous lives are all connected, basically in a big square, through the reincarnation gate. Then I started to have to retrieve my memories on my own, and sometimes I didn't know what was going on. ”

"Can you think concretely about what happened in your life? Causing a difference in your subsequent reincarnation? ”

"If you want to say the biggest difference, in fact, you can start to speak the human voice, and you can also say something. I sometimes go to the mountains and practice in the dead of night. ”

"Is this a transition for you? Since then, you've been getting special, even if it's officially starting reincarnation? So you also need to drink Meng Po soup? ”

"Then why, can I still retrieve the memories of my past life later?" Tomato asked, tilting his head. I was speechless for a while, but since it started from reincarnation, let's start checking reincarnation.

I opened Baidu and started searching for why there is reincarnation, whether animals have reincarnation, and why reincarnation loses memory. Basically, they are the powerful answers of the current monks. It is said that because of the cultivation of the soul, the body dies, but the soul does not die, so the soul can be reincarnated. Some people say that there is no memory in order to have a new cause and effect in this life. There are also people who firmly believe that their pets have been reincarnated and have met them.

Tomatoes and I are both black lines at the same end. First of all, there are too many arguments of all kinds. Different religions, different denominations within religions, have their own interpretations. Secondly, this seems to be related to faith, those who believe in Christianity go to heaven, those who believe in Buddhism go to Western bliss, those who believe in Taoism go to the underworld, and so on, there are various explanations. But the biggest problem with Tomato now is that she first has a continuous reincarnation memory, and then she doesn't have it, which no entry can explain.

Especially as a demon, there is no other demon who shares his cultivation experience on the Internet. This also makes sense, first of all, the Internet was invented by humans, and demons may have some way of communicating with each other, but they are definitely different from us. The second is that human beings, as the spirits of all things, are the most suitable for cultivation both physically and mentally. Tomato also admits this, otherwise so many demons would have to transform into a human form first.

I compared the Buddhist system of reincarnation and found that it was not quite right. The six realms are divided into the three good paths and the three evil paths. The path of the gods, the path of Shura, and the path of the world are the three good paths, and the animal path, the hungry ghost path, and the hell path are the three evil paths. When a soul engages in samsara, it enters different paths according to the cause and effect of birth. For example, if someone commits greed, and it is particularly serious, he will be reincarnated into the path of hungry ghosts, which means that this person is greedy like a hungry ghost. If this interpretation is followed, then the tomato as a cat should be in the animal path, and in fact, it has always been in the animal path. The saying on the Internet is that the animal Tao is the way of the human world, that is, it is dependent on people. Some people who do the things of animals will be reborn as animals. And if you are still reincarnated as an animal, you will become a powerful animal, such as a dragon or a tiger. This information still doesn't help us with anything.

I pushed the computer away in a frustrated way and stretched. Tomato lay on the table, fiddling with the mouse. "Maybe we're going in the wrong direction?" , I said.

"What do you mean by wrong direction? In Journey to the West, it is said that anyone in the Three Realms who has nine tricks can cultivate immortals. What's wrong with my direction? ”

"Journey to the West, Journey to the West is a novel, not a spiritual treasure. You can't expect to watch Journey to the West upgrade, and besides, there is no mention of cats in Journey to the West. If you think about it, it seems that there is not much mention of cat becoming a spirit in ancient China. What kind of foxes, weasels into essence. ”

"Are cats that miserable?"

"I'll check."

I typed on the computer, why there is no cat in Journey to the West, and someone really answered. In addition to the reason why the emperor was a cat slave at that time, there is one that I think is more reliable, that is, cats were not called cats in the Central Plains at the earliest, but raccoons. The early cats actually referred to the bobcat, not the current domestic cat. And the Central Plains region is about 3,500 years ago domesticated cats, but at that time the Han people already had a fixed Xianban system, cats could not be added. But in places like ancient Egypt and desert areas before 11,000 years ago, cats were already on the list of domestic animals. So theoretically, the souls of cats come from the Middle East and Africa.

Tomato and I read the information in confusion. Then we summarized the results as follows: First of all, the cultivation system of cats should still be relatively small in the Central Plains. Secondly, because cats and raccoon cats were the same species in ancient times, and there were tanuki spirits in ancient times, so you can refer to the cultivation system of tanuki cats. Thirdly, the bobcat is also a type of cat, so theoretically, the practice method of the bobcat is also suitable for tomatoes. Now the question is, where to find the cultivation methods of these systems?

Now Tomato and I are decadent.

"Why don't I find this human being's inner Dan cultivation method for you?"

"I have Nedan."

“!! Do you have Neidan? Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"Almost yes, to be exact."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not talking to you about that thunder that scared me out of it. In fact, in addition to feeling that I was going to be able to become a human being, my other feeling was that something was condensing in my body, and I thought it was Neidan. ”

"Hey, the demon with Neidan is very powerful. I don't know anything else, I've read Xiuxian novels, it's basically the level of Jindan, and you can go sideways when you go out. ”

"You also said that I am used to following Journey to the West, don't you also read novels?" , Tomato said the same, so what level is she?

Continuing to flip through the information, the statements in various places are really different. Some of the immortals want to ask for the seal first, I asked the tomato, have you ever asked for the seal? After she denied it, she also said that if the person who asked for the seal talked nonsense, wouldn't it be a thousand-year-old Dao and a funeral? It is said that the wisdom should be opened first, but in this way, the essence of those plants is very slow, but this is in line with the early situation of tomatoes. She is the cat in front of Wang Yangming's throne and grew up listening to the words of the saint. It is also said that the cultivation of monsters depends on the bloodline, and there is a bit of the bloodline of the divine beast and the holy beast, so the cultivation will be unstoppable, and you will not have to worry about eating and drinking. I looked at the ordinary tanuki in front of me and shook my head. Don't talk about me, Tomato himself doesn't believe it. The last and most common saying is that animals with high spirituality can cultivate on their own. Like a fox, like a python, like a cat.
