Kitten Lovers Foundation

In Monsoon's inherent imagination, the so-called hometown is located in the countryside or in the countryside, and there are several tile-roofed houses and an ancestral hall at home.If the conditions are good, there may be a five or six-story rural self-built house with a small yard.

But Gu Qian's "hometown" overturned Ji Feng's old-fashioned concept of rural people going to the city.

——This so-called hometown is a townhouse in the mountains.

Moreover, it was not far from the urban area. Gu Qian's family sent a seven-seater business Mercedes to pick up their family. The car drove from the airport to the villa area for more than an hour.

It was only when I arrived at Gu Qian's house that I realized that my father's major client was Gu Qian's grandfather.

Of course, Ji Feng's father also knew that Gu Qian, the young owner of this family, was his son's classmate.

Gu Qian's family has many relatives, and Ji Feng's family arrived during the daytime, and everyone was working, so they didn't meet all the people.

They were arranged to live in a two-story bungalow next to the main villa building, in the same yard as Gu Qian's family, only about 50 meters away.

The decoration of the bungalow is simple, with white walls and wooden floors, and all the equipment in the house. In the room assigned to Monsoon, the bedding is all white and black. He quickly packed his luggage.

After the family settled down, it was not long before dinner time. They had dinner with Gu Qian's family in the lobby on the first floor of the main villa building. Ji Feng only saw Gu Qian's brothers and sisters at this time.

Grandpa Gu Qian was very hospitable. This time he invited not only Ji Feng's family, but also some other business partners.

The children opened a table alone, and Gu Qian sat down with Ji Feng and Ji Yu.

"Where's Rhubarb?" After Ji Feng arrived, he found that there was not a single cat in the main building.He entrusted Gu Qian to bring rhubarb over in advance. He hadn't seen rhubarb for several days, and he still missed it.

"Play in the cat house, I'll take you to find it after dinner," Gu Qian said.

The table is a big round table, and the meals are very rich.Three large round tables can be placed in the dining room at the same time. The ceiling is high and there are shining European crystal chandeliers on it.

The wallpaper is golden yellow, and the floor tiles are paved with light yellow square bricks. The whole decoration looks very atmospheric and rich, just like the houses of rich families shown on TV.

If a camera is set up here, it is absolutely possible to shoot Chengdu fantasy dramas.

There were a dozen or so children at a table, except for Ji Yu, the rest looked to be in their teens, similar to Ji Feng and Gu Qian.

Sitting directly opposite Ji Feng was a girl with short hair up to her ears and a popular choker hanging around her neck. Her eyes rolled around, she pouted at Gu Qian, and suddenly said, "Gu Qian, this is That? Why not introduce it?"

Gu Qian glanced at her, then looked at Ji Feng, and said to Ji Feng, "That's my cousin, Gu Si."

Ji Feng greeted Gu Si politely, and introduced himself: "My name is Ji Feng, and I came here to play during the winter vacation."

"Is it that person?" Gu Si continued to ask Gu Qian.

Several people around looked at Monsoon.

that person?who?Monsoon was puzzled.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Gu Qian nodded.

Suddenly, clatter—five people on the opposite side stood up at the same time, leaned back their stools, and made a uniform sound. They were all extremely excited and stared at Ji Feng.

Monsoon was messed up inexplicably.

Gu Qian's cousin Gu Si was the first to speak: "Is that cat really yours?"

Gu Si's eyes were shining, and she leaned forward. Although she was separated by a table, Ji Feng felt the strong oppressive feeling of this woman, and she was gradually invading towards Ji Feng.

Ji Feng cleared his throat: "What?"

Another tall and thin boy hurriedly said, "Nine Lives Cat! Is it yours? Is it really yours? How did you get it? What's its name and how old is it?"

"Er..." It turned out that they were asking Da Huang, Ji Feng heaved a sigh of relief: "Yes, Da Huang, I heard that it is the Nine Lives Cat."

The five people who stood up were stunned at the same time, staring at Ji Feng without saying a word. In the end, Gu Qian's cousin, Gu Si, was the first to react: "The name is Da Huang? Are you sure? This...you... ··This name·······Then it······"

Monsoon: "???"

"You didn't lie to us?" The tall and thin boy answered, "Can a normal cat agree to be called such an ugly name? Besides, it is unique, noble and elegant, unparalleled, and perfect..."

"Shut up, Gu Yuanxing. Rhubarb isn't here, you can let your rainbow fart go when it's here." Gu Qian said bluntly.

Gu Yuanxing: "I'm praising from the bottom of my heart! I don't need to see the deity, I can let it go, no, I can also say this kind of praise!!!"

A few young people were still putting on airs just now, but this time they knew that Rhubarb was Ji Feng's civet, they all left their seats and surrounded Ji Feng, asking Ji Feng about the story of Rhubarb.

It's a pity that rhubarb really doesn't have any stories, except for talking tuberculosis and language problems, it's just gluttony, and there's nothing left to show off.

Unable to overwhelm the enthusiasm of the crowd, Ji Feng had no choice but to share something about rhubarb with everyone.

This group of people were stunned for a while, and saw that although most of them said that this is the case, the Jiuming cat is similar to other civets, but they don't know what they think in their hearts.

"How did it learn to speak? What kind of mantra does it usually have? What kind of speech disorder is it?" Gu Si asked.

"Speech problem is, speech problem, he has speech problems as soon as he speaks, it's easy to find." Ji Feng stated the facts, but it was obvious that everyone didn't believe him.

"It's so noble, so cold, and so superior. It's a blessing from my previous life to be able to talk to it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to talk to it so far." Gu Yuanxing's rainbow fart boss It is very harmoniously inserted into everyone's dialogue.

Monsoon: "..."

"It must have taught you a lot of spells, right? Tell us about it!" A tall boy with a square face asked.

"······· These few questions are really difficult to answer, because there is nothing at all!

The tall man with a square face patted Ji Feng's shoulder, and continued, "What do you mean by er? Don't hide it, the spiritual trainer with the Nine Lives Cat, shouldn't be so stingy!" Several teenagers echoed, saying Tell me, what kind of magic is there.

"Gu Jianqiang, what kind of spells are none of your business? People's cats teach their masters, so what are you asking for!" Gu Si said.

The young man with a square face named Gu Jianqiang smiled contemptuously: "Who is always thinking about how powerful the owner of the Nine Lives Cat is? You are the one we most want to know about his spells here, Gu Si?"

"Let's go, lads, let's serve!" Auntie passed by Ji Feng and Gu Qian with a white porcelain basin, but was blocked by excited young people.

Gu Qian stood up and pushed aside the crowd, let the aunt who served the food turn around and said, "Sit back and eat."

After everyone finished their meal, Ji Yu followed his parents and prepared to go back to the small foreign building to sleep. The teenagers were playful and hugged Ji Feng to see the Nine Lives Cat.

Although Rhubarb had been at Gu's house for a few days, except for Gu Si who had seen a yellow cat shadow from a distance, none of them had seen the Nine Lives Cat with their own eyes.

It is said that Rhubarb's whereabouts are erratic. Several teenagers guarded the cat house for several days and nights, but there was no sign of Rhubarb.

The cat house is the innermost villa on the side of the mountain. It looks no different from other houses from the outside, even the design and exterior decoration are unified.

A group of about seven or eight young people, besides Ji Feng, there is Gu XX, or Gu X, there seems to be another named Gu XX.

Ji Feng can only remember Gu Si who wears a choker, and Gu Yuanxing who likes to blow rainbow farts.Oh, there is also Gu Jianqiang who looks like a villain at first glance.

From the outside, the villa looks about five or six floors high. The gate is a large double iron gate with a height of more than three meters. Several servants pushed the door open, and several people filed in.

Ji Feng was so shocked by the scene at the door that he couldn't regain his senses for a long time. This hall is connected to the bottom, and the ceiling is about ten meters high.

You need to look up to see the top, a big round arch shape.

The ceiling descends from the top, and the surrounding walls are made into uneven rock shapes, a bit like rock climbing clubs in the wild, which are specially made for rock climbing.

It's just that the rock climbing rockery is covered with stepping stones, and the walls of the cat house are scattered with various kitten nests.

Looking around, there are countless cat litters, and Ji Feng probably has hundreds or thousands.Some litters have kittens sleeping in them, and some are empty.

The center of the hall was like a toy playground, with some equipment specially for kittens to play with, which Monsoon had seen in pet shops before.

However, the pet shop's equipment is not enough to look at here, just like adults look at children's toys.

The kittens were playing in the middle in groups of three or four, and all kinds of meowing and meowing came and went in the hall, and the tones and timbres were different, but they were surprisingly harmonious.

The first one to run over was Elizabeth, who burrowed into Gu Qian's arms.

Gu Qian obviously did not regard Ji Feng as an outsider, and explained the situation of the cat house to him.

"Most of the civets live here, and they will go out with their owners when they have a mission. They have nothing to do during the day, and they will go to play with their owners." Gu Qian said.

Gu Yuanxing interjected, "Where's your Nine-Life Cat?"

Ji Feng took a look at Gu Yuanxing and thought, my cat is in your cat house, you ask me where is it?What is the logic?

Gu Si immediately said what Ji Feng was thinking: "The cat is in our territory, what do you ask, you go and notify the noble and elegant Nine Lives Cat, and tell that its owner is here!" Gu Si pushed it away with her hands. Rubbing Gu Yuanxing's back, Gu Yuanxing staggered forward without paying attention, and almost fell down.

"That's right, let's go!" Gu Jianqiang with a square face yelled with a group of younger brothers.

Gu Yuanxing's face was full of embarrassment, Ji Feng said, "I'll call to see if it can come out."

He turned his head and yelled at the many cat litters on the high ceiling: "Rhubarb——"

It stands to reason that with so many cat litters embedded in the wall, the wall should not be able to bounce back the sound, but Ji Feng didn't expect to hear the echo. I don't know how the structure of the dome was designed.

The echo swayed, big-big-yellow-big-yellow-yellow-yellow-

--"Meow?"

A meow sounded, Ji Feng was very familiar with it, and it was the voice of Rhubarb.

But the voice was so close to him, as if it was coming from beside him.

He looked up at the various cat litters, looked at the one closest to him one by one, and heard another sentence——

——"Look at your sister!"

Monsoon: "!!!"

Everyone: "What the hell, the legendary Nine-Life Cat, who is so noble and incomparable, can actually swear words!!!"

Everyone looked down, and at some point, the legendary cat with nine lives had quietly stood at their feet, and none of these people noticed it!

Everyone was ashamed, as expected, they were still a bunch of weak chickens in front of the god-given cat.

Unknowingly, the arrogance of these boys and girls gradually disappeared.

"When did you come here? If you don't tell me earlier, it will cause me to lift my neck for a long time. I won't be tired!" Ji Feng complained to Rhubarb with his head down.

Rhubarb is leisurely and leisurely. These days, after eating and drinking at Gu Qian's house, the whole cat is a little bit smug. Not only is his mentality swayed, but his weight has also increased all the way. It is twice as heavy as when Ji Feng picked him up. more than.

"Hey, don't mention it, it's uncomfortable!" After saying that, Da Huang climbed onto Ji Feng's body, apparently not intending to walk by himself, and wanted to lie on Ji Feng's shoulders.

Ji Feng seemed to be shaking or something, his feet kept shaking, obviously he didn't want Rhubarb to climb up: "Go, go, don't climb, I just had enough and I don't have the energy to hug you!"

Everyone: "???"

But Da Huang couldn't help his body's agility, no matter how Ji Feng shook, he didn't fall, and slowly crawled forward all the way, and he was about to climb up to his shoulders.

Ji Feng felt Rhubarb's unabated weight, and his claws pulled on his short-sleeved shirt with great strength. With a look of grief and indignation at the end of his death, he endured Rhubarb climbing onto his shoulders.

As the saying goes, if you stand tall, you can see far. Rhubarb stood up instead of getting down on his shoulders, with his limbs resting firmly on his shoulders. He squinted his small eyes and looked at the boys and girls, seeming a little displeased.

"Big, big, Rhubarb, hello. I, I, my name is Gu Yuanxing." Gu Yuanxing was the first to react, and eagerly stepped forward to greet Jiumingmao.

"Well, the next one." Da Huang nodded, a bit like a queen receiving civilians.

"I'm Gu Si, Da Huang, hello!" Gu Si immediately followed up, and tried to reach out her hand, hoping that Da Huang could touch her, but Da Huang was obviously not interested.

"Well, next one." Rhubarb continued.

In this way, except for Gu Qian, several people took turns to say hello to Da Huang, and they also got their wish to talk to Da Huang. Although there were not many people, everyone was extremely excited.

And because there are too few samples of Jiuming cats, everyone here has seen Jiuming cats for the first time in their lives, so they automatically understand all Jiuming cats as Rhubarb's current appearance, which is probably a little moody plus Unreliable?

So the love and killing relationship between Rhubarb and Ji Feng should not have appeared between the spiritual trainer and the civet cat, but apart from the shock at the beginning, everyone quickly accepted this setting of getting along with each other.

Everyone wanted to see Da Huang and Ji Feng's skills so much, Gu Jianqiang suggested: "I don't have any plans recently, let's go to Jiuling Mountain to stay for a few days?"

"Okay, okay!" Everyone echoed.

"There are many spirits and monsters in the mountains. Here we are backed by the Hundred Thousand Mountains. We often take civet cats to explore and play in the mountains." Gu Qian explained to Ji Feng in a low voice.

It sounds good, Ji Feng also wanted to see how these people cooperated with the civet to catch "spirit monsters", so he nodded in agreement.

Everyone was in high spirits, and Gu Jianqiang took the lead in arranging personnel and vehicles, as well as a number of equipment and luggage for camping, and then sent a unified message to agree on the time and place of the assembly, and it was ready in two or three days.

In the past few days, Gu Qian took Ji Feng to walk around the Gu family's townhouses to introduce, and it was the first time that Ji Feng deeply felt the grandeur and heritage of the spiritual trainer family.

Everything here is in perfect order. Spirit trainers have had their bloodlines tested by elders since birth, and children have different growth paths from urination according to their talents.

Moreover, the Gu family is quite open, and children without blood can choose to start their own business and not participate in the family business.

In addition to his own blood, he also recruited some unrelated disciples for training.Children have their own place to learn.

Just like what Gu Qian said, this line of practice is boy kung fu. Ji Feng saw with his own eyes a group of three to five-year-old children in the nursery. More than 30 children stood in a row, learning the fingering of knot seal at the same time, and their movements were uniform. The scene was spectacular and very shocking.

"We have a unified place to accept orders. Unless there are special reasons, we generally do not accept orders through private individuals. The training of civets and spiritual trainers are two separate industries." Gu Qian came out of the nursery with Ji Feng and headed towards the cat house. Walk.

In addition to the big empty villa at the front of the cat house, there are several small houses behind the villa.

Monsoon predicted that that would be the place to raise civets.

"Grandma Wang Huaijiao asked your family for help, and then your family sent you to work?" Ji Feng asked.

Gu Qian nodded, and suddenly laughed: "This is a fat job. Wang Huaijiao's mother-in-law exchanged it for a life-and-death contract. Even if she didn't give us a penny, there are still many people who are willing to go through fire and water for her life-and-death contract."

Ji Feng has gradually understood what the life-death deed means to a spiritual trainer after half a year of "influenced by his ears and eyes." My spirit probably needs several rhubarbs to hold it."

"Yeah, it's a pity that you don't use your internal strength, and you wasted Granny Wang's heart." Gu Qian joked.

Ji Feng: "Well, it makes sense. After I avenge Granny Wang, I will release all those spirits."

The matter of Mrs. Wang has always been a lump in Ji Feng's heart. He always thought that he had received Granny Wang's favor for no reason, but failed to save her, and shamelessly took advantage of her. This is too dishonest.

"Yes, but the matter of Granny Wang is not a one-person incident. There are many spirit trainers who were killed like Granny Wang in the whole country, and the news broke out one after another." Gu Qian said seriously.

Ji Feng asked: "Any new news?"

"Yes, but the elders are doing it. I guess..." Gu Qian hesitated.

"Ok?"

"Hey, I guess it's quite dangerous, otherwise, none of my cousins ​​have heard of it." After some ideological struggle, Gu Qian decided to tell Ji Feng: "Gu Si once overheard some details. , We have deduced this matter. This involves a great cult from more than 100 years ago, and it is very likely that there is a sign of revival."

"What cult?"

"You forgot, I told you, it's called Zizaiguan. But it's hard to say, for this matter, last month the Cat Breeding Association held a meeting in Beijing to discuss the issues involved."

What is the Cat Association?The monsoon was misty.

This matter is a long story, Gu Qian was very patient with Ji Feng, and gave him the general structure and situation of the entire organization of popular science training spiritual masters in China.

They mainly fight individually with family or master-student relationship, but there is an official unified management association called the Cat Raising Association. The association has no real power, and its main job is to do face-saving projects. Non-governmental organizations such as Taoist associations, Buddhist associations, and religious committees deal with official institutions.

Several large mountain gates and family patriarchs across the country are members of the association, and they usually attend the meeting to discuss together when they encounter problems.

Of course, another important responsibility is to obtain a certificate for the spiritual trainer and be responsible for managing the household registration of the spiritual trainer.

If you want to officially become a spiritual trainer, you generally need to have complete documents. There is an examination for spiritual trainers in the whole country every two years. This kind of test is not difficult for them.

Their group is the most low-key, mysterious and wealthy of all the people who deal with gods and monsters.

The cost of training spiritual masters is quite high, and ordinary people have no way of knowing their information.

The objects of service are usually dignitaries, business leaders and so on.Occasionally, if you encounter some big monsters, you will also respond to the country's call to subjugate demons and earn some fame.

Ji Feng nodded, it seems that spiritual trainers have come into being and developed for a long time, and there are quite a lot of ways in it.

This profession seems to be quite good. If I choose to be a spiritual trainer, I wonder if I, a scumbag, can pass the exam?

Gu Qian saw what Ji Feng was thinking, and encouraged him: "Actually, any career requires hardship and hard work. I think after understanding, you need to see whether you have a sense of accomplishment and belonging to your current career."

"Do you like being a spiritual trainer?"

Gu Qian nodded without hesitation: "Of course. This industry is very interesting. Every case you encounter will have a different experience. And there is no end to learning. The stronger the spell and ability, the better you can understand the greatness of the ancestors. Everyone says that life and death are important matters, and a career that is between life and death is very great."

"Hmm..." Ji Feng was thinking about Gu Qian's words, but in fact he didn't have a deep understanding of this kind of life and death and professional belonging.

The environment in which he and Gu Qian grew up was very different. Perhaps in Gu Qian's eyes, he was born as a spiritual trainer, and his entire growth trajectory revolved around the topic of how to become a qualified spiritual trainer.

So being different is a matter of course.Nothing to be proud of or ashamed of.

But Ji Feng was not. He always only hoped that he would not hear strange voices, and imagined countless times that it would be great if he was just like everyone else.

Since getting to know Rhubarb, he has gradually opened the prelude to the profession of a spiritual trainer, allowing him to see the spells, skills, families, etc. of a spiritual trainer time and time again, step by step from nothing to one to one hundred.

He was ashamed of his "differentness" at first, and now he has gradually accepted this "differentness", but he has not yet reached the point where he can use "differentness" to do something.

The two chatted a lot, and I have to say that chatting with Gu Qian is really comfortable and can increase a lot of knowledge.

Even Ji Feng, who was a little behind-the-scenes, after getting along and comparing with each other during this period, found that Gu Leng's nickname was not for nothing, and Gu Qian was indeed more pleasant to himself.

He was moved by Gu Qian's preferential treatment, and occasionally thought of the gift on Christmas Eve, and felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
