523, [still happy as a cat]
As he said that, he took out a few red-tracing papers from his arms and showed them to Fang Chang to see.
Fang Chang looked at it and saw that the format above was quite stylish, with a sleek and sleek style. I don’t know if it was copied or asked someone of some skill to write it. At the same time, the young man also photographed the next to him, which were several paper bags tied together with hemp rope. It seemed that he was going to welcome the cat’s betrothal gift.
"I came here from another place and I have never heard of this custom. Now I am curious after hearing it. I wonder if I can follow you?" Fang Chang bowed and asked the young man.
"It's all right, as long as you have time." said the young man, "When I finish my meal, go with me."
Then the stall owner brought the rotten meat noodles up. The young man hurriedly put away the letter of appointment, took the noodle bowl and started to swallow it. He chewed it very quickly, his cheeks were stuffed, and his expression on his face was enjoying it. It can be seen that the young man liked the taste of rotten meat noodles in front of him very much.
Fang Chang had already finished eating, so he waited quietly by the side. After the young man finished eating, he wiped his mouth and found the account before he got up.
"Brother, come with me, but you don't know. I have wanted to hire one for a long time, but I have always been busy and have no time. I didn't have time until recently. I heard that a family member in Mofang Lane added a few new cats last year, so I came up to ask for my wishes, and then asked someone to write a letter of employment, prepare a gift, and chose today's day to pass."
The two of them walked around the streets and alleys for a few times and then they arrived at the home where the young man was going to go.
This small town is not big. It takes about the same time as the east end to the west end and the south end to the north end, and it only takes less than two quarters of an hour. It feels like the pace of life of people here is much slower than the big cities they have seen before, such as the imperial capital, and the citizens live a very leisurely life.
Walking into the middle of the alley, the young man stopped in front of a door opening, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door a few times.
Fang Chang noticed that the rest of the alley had doors open, and only the door was closed. However, he had excellent hearing and could hear someone in the yard. Moreover, the few people inside were discussing the matter of young people coming to the door, and it seemed that there was another arrangement for this.
Sure enough, with the young man knocking, the heavy wooden door creaked open, and someone asked:
"Who is here?"
"I heard that there is a virtuous and virtuous mansion in your house, so I came to ask for a job." The young man answered respectfully according to the rules. Next, the two answered several times, all according to the routine, and then the young man took out the letter of employment and handed it over. Then the host opened the door and welcomed the young man and Fang Chang in.
Although the process of hiring a cat seems a bit serious, there is actually no investment in the cat itself. It is neither red-coloured nor veiled in a sedan chair. The selected cat just stays honestly in a cage, waiting to be taken away by the young man.
The whole process seemed a little boring, but it was quite lively. The two families happily exchanged the ownership of the kitten.
Fang Chang silently watched the whole ceremony, drank some tea from the host family, and left with the young man. The young man was carrying a cage with a new cat, his face was full of joy and his steps were brisk.
Walking out of the alley, Fang Chang said, "I'm really open today. Thank you, I'll say goodbye to you."
The young man waved his hand: "It's just a matter of raising his hands. I have to go home quickly. I have to make a food bowl for it. I'll find out if there is any scrap wooden board to nail one by myself." The young man almost all his attention was on the new and beautiful little livestock in his hand. After saying goodbye to Fang Chang, he quickly walked away.
Seeing the young man walking away, Fang Chang turned around and went back. He flashed slightly, and no one could see him, including the cat who had been lying on the wall and basking in the sun during the cat recruitment ceremony before.
Fang Chang took the cat, walked to an unmanned corner, placed the cat opposite, and asked curiously: "If I read it correctly, you should have transformed, why are you lurking in this house?"
"This has nothing to do with the Supreme Immortal, right?"
The cat suddenly suffered this unpredictable disaster and felt a little resistant, so he said in a verbal way.
However, this cat has eyesight. Although he has been so resistant, he is quite nervous. It is just because he has lived for a long time and has a wide range of knowledge, and it is silent on his face, just like an angry ordinary cat.
Fang Chang smiled and explained, "I'm just curious. Since I entered this house today, it's a fate. Seeing that you have achieved success in your cultivation, you are staying on the wall of this family, I'm curious and asked."
He was well versed in the method of looking at the qi, and could see that this cat had never done any evil.
Anyone who wants to kill sentient beings will definitely be entangled with karma of cause and effect. The appearance of the qi on the top is different. If you have eaten it, it will be even more terrifying. The cat's head is white, light and clean, and it should be a good person - but Fang Chang is still curious about why it stays here.
After hearing his question, Maoer laughed:
"I didn't expect that you, the Supreme Immortal, are still curious about such things. I was actually just for comfort. I practiced for many years and even transformed into a human body. In the end, I found out that I was still happy when I was a cat. After realizing this, I turned back to the cat body and found someone to stay."
"Eat and sleep every day, and eat when you are full. You can rush to birds and catch butterflies, or take a few mice to play with them. When you are tired, whether it is the roof or the wall, you can bask in the sun while lying down. It's so joyful. Sometimes I think about myself before, what's wrong with being a cat, why do you need to practice?"
"During the great disaster, some monsters discovered me and wanted to pull me into the group. They were so beautiful. I had food and drink every day and felt comfortable and had nothing to do. Even the legendary gods didn't change, so why did they go to cause trouble? Sure enough, they were all destroyed now, and I was still basking in the sun here. Compared to me, they were so stupid... Well, you should satisfy your curiosity, please send me back."
It sounded very reasonable. Fang Chang looked at it and found that the cat's cultivation was not abandoned, but had progressed. It seemed that what he thought and did was in accordance with the Taoist meaning in some aspects.
He nodded and bowed and smiled:
"So that's it. It seems that I was offended just now - I'll send you back now."
"No need, I recognize the way, just walk back by myself." The cat looked around, raised his claws and interrupted Fang Chang's movement, then raised his tail and walked away, rushed up the firewood pile next to him and went up to the wall. After a few leaps, he disappeared in the direction of the family.
Fang Zhang stood up, smiled, turned around and walked out of the corner.
The sun was very bright and bright outside, just like what had just shined on the wall. After the wind and rain, the dark clouds just now floated to wherever they were, and the place was already clear.
Go back directly, go back to Yunzhong Mountain, and return to Xianqi Cliff.
Then make the next plan.
