Mr. Cat

Louie's chest heaved and he gasped violently.

The dream just now was so real that it almost made him unable to distinguish dream from reality.He was still in his room, dimly lit, with a fat gray cat curled up beside him.Fat Cat fell into a deep sleep, Louis reached out and rubbed his stomach, but he still didn't wake up.

The man in the dream said he was Kunlun Lord Lu Wu, then he was Mr. Cat.

On the day when the contract was just signed, the lights were like daylight, and his eyes were filled with the city's brilliant neon lights. He seemed to remember something in a daze, but quickly forgot it.The Mr. Cat in the dream said that he is Lu Wu, Lord of Kunlun, and the Mr. Cat that day also asked him, where is Kunlun Mountain?

When he was young, he browsed through the books, and vaguely remembered the vague fragments in the scriptures. Kunlun Mountain was recorded in "Shan Hai Jing Xi Shan Jing", which mentioned Lu Wu.

Thinking of this, Louis immediately got out of bed and went to the study to look for the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Lu Yixin said that the "Shan Hai Jing" can be regarded as an alternative observation note for non-human species, but the "Shan Hai Jing" is more detailed, covering everything from biology to geography.I just don't know whether the completion of "Shan Hai Jing" has anything to do with gods and demons.

In the eyes of most people, ancient myths and legends that have been handed down to this day can only be legends, and they absolutely do not exist.But what if these mythical creatures are just hiding in places that ordinary people can't see, or simply hiding in the crowd like him?

Just like many people think that vampires are just a species born in film and television dramas in the past hundred years, Louis has lived in the crowd for hundreds of years.

He opened the Xishan Jing, searched a little bit, and finally found the passage related to Lu Wu.

——Four hundred miles to the southwest, it is called Kunlun Hill, which is the capital under the Emperor Shiwei, and it is under the command of God Luwu.Its god looks like a tiger with nine tails and a human face with tiger claws.

"No wonder he said that he is Kunlun Lord Luwu."

Such titles as Lord Kunlun were the most common in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. The most famous ones were the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, Lord Xinling, Lord Chunshen, Lord Pingyuan, and Lord Mengchang. Even in textbooks, Lord Anling appeared.At first glance, people with the title of "jun" are everywhere like cabbages, but they are not.

People with titles with such suffixes are all princes and kings without exception, and again they are all high-ranking, powerful or talented people.Even Lord Longyang, who is often discussed and called by the world to serve others, is capable of both civil and military skills, which is quite extraordinary.If there is no emperor's personal title, you can't call yourself "jun" at will.

Lord Kunlun, according to the records in the "Shan Hai Jing", should be a divine emperor entrusted in Kunlun Mountain, and was bestowed by the "emperor" himself, so he is named Kunlun Lord.Lu Wu looks like a tiger with nine tails and a human face with tiger claws. No wonder he looks like a cat.Louis guessed that he turned into a cat for the convenience of walking in the world.

Anyway, they are all cats, not much difference.

"Shan Hai Jing" is a work written in the pre-Qin period. According to current inferences, the author should have been born in Bashu or Chu.The legends of Jingchu in Bashu have always been romantic, and the title corresponding to the Kunlun Lord can only be found in the mythology of Chu.

Louis put the "Shan Hai Jing" back on the shelf and found another "Chu Ci".

In this vast land, there are many gods, mainly divided into the Kunlun gods, the famous one is the Queen Mother of the West, and the Penglai gods, the famous allusion is the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and the most well-known gods and Buddhas are Buddhism and Taoism.

Compared with these well-known gods, the myths of Chudi seem to be much lesser-known, and few people mention them.Bashu has a vast territory, and sometimes the territory of Chu is included in Bashu. The myths of Bashu are recorded in fragments, and most of the classics are just a few words. To trace the source, you have to look at archaeological relics.

Among the myths circulating in Chu, the most famous classic is "Chu Ci·Nine Songs".

Most of the myths and legends of the pre-Qin period have already declined, and few people know about them. For thousands of years, all kinds of myths and legends have been mixed together and piled up like a mountain. It is really a big project to sort out the most original genealogy from the vast sea of ​​classics. "Shan Hai Jing" and "Nine Songs" are extremely rare to be handed down. Through these precious books, people today can also get a glimpse of the geography of ancient times.

There are eleven chapters in "Nine Songs", among which the most honored god is Donghuang Taiyi. Before the Qin Dynasty, the East was respected.For some reason, the myth of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi disappeared as soon as we arrived, and disappeared without a trace.

Among the other gods in the Nine Songs, there are Yunzhongjun, Xiangjun, and Dongjun who are similar to Kunlun Jun. As for Da Si Ming and He Bo, Louis has no way of knowing their bestowals for the time being. name method.

But these are just his guesses, he can't insist on it, there is no reason, like duckweed without roots, it will disperse when the wind blows.

Louis sighed deeply, why is the contract between him and Mr. Cat so strange, whether it is true or not.Others who have signed contracts with memory and soul communication can also communicate with each other again, but his contract is useless, and even the promised record of non-human species is due to the forgetting of a certain cat, which is like an empty contract.

etc--

Louis was startled, he seemed to be guided by the man who called himself Lu Wu to write down something in his dream just now.He hastily removed the scroll from the box, spread it out on the table, and on one side of the scroll, three columns of characters emerged neatly.

Ling, Shuling, Nine Chapters on Arithmetic, [-] years old.

Unknown, vampire, Louis, 110 years.

Behind the line of his name, there was a ghostly symbol. Louis tried to identify it for a long time, but he couldn't recognize what it was.

He turned the scroll over and over again, but still couldn't find any clues, thinking: "This is considered to record non-human information? The first is a rough classification, followed by specific races, then names, and finally, people who have lived so far. How long, as simple as that?"

Biological classification also divides phyla, orders, families, genera, and species. This scroll classification is too simple and sloppy.

Louis seriously thought that if he classified according to biology, it should be considered as Animal Kingdom, Chordate Phylum, Chordate Subphylum, Mammalia, True Beast Suborder, Primates, Anthropoid Suborder, and then Vampireidae?

He laughed in his heart, he was no longer a human being, so it was better not to stick to human biology and dig into the horns.There are even gods in this world, so there is nothing impossible.If you want to classify Mr. Cats, whether to classify them according to cats or gods, it is obviously not feasible.

Thinking of this, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled to himself.

Staying in the study until ten o'clock in the evening, Louis drank a glass of water, then returned to the bedroom to continue sleeping.At this time, Lu Wu was still sound asleep, not intending to wake up at all, and Louis didn't want to disturb him, so he simply distributed some quilts to him, one person and one cat, curled up in one place, and fell asleep together.

Early the next morning, Louis got up, washed, and drove to school.

He thought that Mr. Cat would go to work with him as he did a few days ago, but he didn't expect Mr. Cat to wake up after he finished washing.He counted, good guy, this cat has slept for almost twenty hours, and it is still sleeping deeply.

The air in Guangdu Middle School is very fresh in the morning. If you sleep too much, you will be more sleepy. Louis worked hard yesterday and slept no less than Mr. Mao. Now his mind is still confused.

Suddenly, pagoda trees were planted on both sides of the road at the school gate. When Louis was driving just now, he almost thought he was going the wrong way.He stepped into the office with a confused face, and was warmly welcomed by Zhou Ge.

"Good morning, Teacher Lu."

"Good morning."

After greeting the other teachers in the office, Louis took a breath and sat down.Zhou Ge turned his chair, moved to Lu Yi's side, winked and said: "I asked you to come out to play yesterday, why didn't you agree?"

"It's finally a relaxing Sunday, I want to rest at home," Louis put down his briefcase, poured himself a cup of tea, and said while drinking tea, "Let's not talk about this, let me ask you, why did the school suddenly Thinking of planting a tree at the gate?"

Zhou Ge picked up a pen, tapped the tip of the pen on the table, and said with a smile: "I don't know very well, I just heard that it will be renovated, what kind of green garden school will be built." He raised his chin and pointed the pen tip at the main road of the school outside the window , "I heard that the main roads need to be rebuilt."

"Green Garden School." Louis put down his teacup, "What do students do during recess?"

Zhou Ge said: "How about staying in the classroom for self-study or exams between classes?"

Louis glanced at him silently: "Students must hate you."

Zhou Ge laughed loudly: "Why do you think I became a teacher, besides being overwhelmed at the time, and because I wanted to put the training I had received before on the students."

Louis: "..."

Seeing that Louis didn't make a sound, Zhou Ge put his shoulders on his shoulders, turned the subject and invited him: "Let's go hiking together this weekend. It's been a while since our brothers went climbing. Let's make an appointment with the second and third. came back."

"The third child is back?" Louis was taken aback.

Zhou Ge turned the pen, looked at him deeply, and said deeply: "You don't care about Lao San at all, no wonder Lao San cries all day long that you are indifferent and heartless."

Louis waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just that he's been too busy recently, and he can't get in touch with him in the deep mountains and old forests."

"Then it's a deal? Let's go hiking this weekend and bring our family with us."

"Row."

"When can you bring a younger sibling to show us, we brothers will be satisfied." Zhou Ge turned his chair and returned to his desk without giving him a chance to argue.

Louis didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to himself, "It would be great if I could find out about my situation."

He didn't want to spend the remaining long and hopeless years alone after spending his whole life with others.
