Qiu Miao: God, please return my Feng Shui equipment to me!
Qiu Yanping couldn't accept the fact that he had become a Maine cat. He faced the full-length mirror facing the door of the studio apartment, raised his front paws in disbelief, then comically lost his balance and fell in front of the mirror.
Qiu Yanping: “…”
He thought that even if he was not used to how to survive as a cat, his original body's physical memory could at least help him a lot, but it turned out to be of no use.
Qiu Yanping realized that he had to start learning to walk on all fours like a real cat. He covered his face, the way of heaven was really too malicious to him.
Qiu Yanping estimated that his current state was probably due to the previous punishment from the heavenly thunder, which had weakened his soul power so much that he could only appear in the prototype that consumed the least amount of mental energy.
The sequelae of the heavenly thunder punishment have been draining away the energy in Qiu Yanping's life bit by bit, just like pulling out a thread from a cocoon. In his previous life, he had merits and virtues, and when he was punished, he felt most deeply the resistance of these merits and virtues to the punishment. Now he doesn't know whether his condition is permanent or will only end after a period of time, so he can only make plans from the worst perspective.
He needs to get his merit back.
Only with merits and virtues can one resist the loss of these life energies.
So the question is, as a cat, what can he do?
Putting these aside, Qiu Yanping found that there was a more practical problem before him. The first thing he had to learn was how to walk and how to go to the toilet.
emmmmmm, so embarrassing.
Qiu Yanping found the cat litter stuffed in the innermost storage room of his bachelor apartment. He had never kept a cat in his previous life and had no intention of caring for one. Fortunately, all the common sense that a cat should have was passed on to him intactly in his memory. He stretched out his paw with disdain and fiddled with the cat litter twice, then jumped in righteously.
For most of the next day, Qiu Yanping was adapting to his life as a cat. If he had calculated his fate in the medical center and knew that he would soon become a cat because his merits were reset to zero, he would have been positive and helpful while he was still in human form, striving to become a legitimate successor to socialism and accumulate his merits. Unfortunately, whether in his previous life or this life, his palms were always a mess.
Qiu Yanping licked the drinking water in the pool and thought slowly that life is full of surprises and surprises.
He walked around the original owner's house and found that the original owner seemed to be a bit narcissistic in nature. Mirrors could be seen everywhere. The feng shui of the house was originally quite good, but it was completely ruined because of these mirrors.
Mirroring the front door, the door and wealth are in conflict, which will lead to failure in business and money, so it is time to change;
Looking in the mirror before the bed absorbs the vital energy of others, which is detrimental to health and energy. This should be changed.
Mirror...
Qiu Yanping smacked his furry lips twice. At first he thought that the original owner loved looking in the mirror, as there were mirrors of all sizes everywhere in the house. But after taking a look around, he noticed something was wrong.
The original owner had arranged his house to draw in qi with mirrors. The so-called drawing in qi with mirrors means placing flat mirrors at the four key points of the front door, master bedroom, master toilet, and kitchen. The mirrors draw in yang and send out yin. Over time, it not only ruins one's fortune, but also greatly harms one's health. It would be surprising if one did not die young. If this arrangement is a coincidence, then the original owner is a real talent.
Qiu Yanping shook his tail unconsciously, thinking that the original owner seemed to be targeted by someone. But it was true, considering the original owner's inhumane experiments, it was hard for him not to be targeted. The number of his enemies might be comparable to that of his previous life.
Qiu Yanping was not particularly worried about this, as he had many enemies in his past life. Naturally, his ability to eliminate disasters and cure diseases would hinder some people's plans. When it came to avoiding and dealing with enemies, he was an expert, but the prerequisite was that he was still an individual.
Qiu Yanping buried his paws under his belly, half-closed his eyes and lazily lay on the sofa - as a cat, his two paws were not enough to lift a Feng Shui sword or a Bagua mirror, so he might as well go with the flow - he didn't know that he had already learned one of the cat's favorite moves, the farmer's paw.
The semi-warm sunlight was poured into the house intact through the light sensor on the outer wall of the apartment, allowing Qiu Yanping to crawl in the sunlight even when paralyzed indoors. The slight pain from deep inside his body to his limbs made him unable to muster the strength to move, let alone do anything as a cat. He yawned lazily, thinking to himself that he should give himself one more day off. It was the first day of being a cat, so he should at least give himself some time to adapt.
He lay there and slept until night. The moonlight was cool and Qiu Yanping shivered and woke up. He was surprised to find that he had returned to his human form, naked. No wonder he felt cold.
He found a set of clothes in the original owner's closet and put them on. He rubbed his slightly cold hands, first took down the two mirrors in the bedroom and facing the door, and then thought about why he had changed back to his original form.
Could it be that he transformed like the werewolves on Earth One on a full moon night? Or was it that God gave him a chance to accumulate merit by being a night warrior?
Qiu Yanping couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to dwell on it. He just assumed it was the latter. After all, the heavens had given him a chance to live again. He couldn't just die because he turned into a cat and couldn't do good deeds and accumulate merits, right? Well, he did do a lot of good things in his previous life, and although he also revealed a lot of heaven's secrets, he was struck by lightning, so the heavens should let him live a good life next time.
Qiu Yanping wore a low-key outfit and carried two large mirrors to find a new place to put them. The one facing the door was turned around and still placed at the entrance with its back to the door, meaning to make way for the God of Wealth and bring wealth into the house. The other mirror placed in the bedroom was placed in a place that was not in the sun. One reason was to increase some light, and the other was that the yin energy was slightly stronger in the shady place, and mirrors could absorb air. If placed properly, they could just absorb the yin energy.
After converting the original house into a livable layout, Qiu Yanping packed up things that might be needed in the future, made some preparations for the three-legged cat, and dressed neatly before going out.
——It is said to be a three-legged cat's preparation mainly because his original set of equipment was lost when he came here, and the materials here are not complete enough. He can only find some substitutes. God knows what the effects of these "substitutes" will be. Qiu Yanping thought that at worst he could just run away if he couldn't win, but he wouldn't risk his life anyway.
It was already late at night when he woke up, so there were naturally not many night cats wandering around outside.
This time, whether in the past when Qiu Yanping was alive or in the present, is always the time when bad elements are active. He squinted his eyes and released some consciousness to explore the surrounding situation.
In the past, Qiu Yanping would not easily use this method to explore the surroundings, after all, the damage to his consciousness would cause great trouble, and a simple candle and a copper coin were enough for him to locate the location. But now, before he left, he searched every corner of his original residence, but could not find these two things, so he had to resign himself to releasing his consciousness. He was very careful, because he did not want to lose his consciousness when his soul was already damaged.
Qiu Yanping suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, and then he gathered his consciousness, with a glimmer of silvery light in his eyes.
…
The next day, a piece of news was broadcast on the Earth One Star News Morning Show:
"At 3 a.m. on March 18, a sudden fire once again struck a residence in District 4 of the street. The fire was serious. Firefighters rushed to the scene and brought the fire under control. The fire was then extinguished without cause, and no one was injured. This is the second sudden fire in a residence since the beginning of summer this year. The relevant departments are still investigating the cause of the fire and the reason for its extinguishing."
Qiu Yanping stretched out a furry cat paw, gathered his strength and jumped, then pressed a light button on the wall about 1.67 meters above the ground - a height distance that is very suitable for normal human touch - and turned off the built-in light-screen TV.
He swung his tail nimbly to balance his body. Yes, after his heroic deeds last night, he turned back into a Maine cat, and even had to jump to turn on the TV to check the news.
The house where the fire broke out last night was the strange area that Qiu Yanping had detected yesterday through his spiritual sense. When he rushed there, he saw with his own eyes that the fire had suddenly broken out for no reason. The family of three trapped in it were lying on the window calling for help. The ladder of the fire truck was placed on the window eaves, but was broken by the burnt roof.
He noticed a black cloud, like thick smoke from a fire, coming out of the open window. Qiu Yanping knew it was no ordinary black smoke, but saving people was imminent, so he had no time to chase the black cloud.
Three pieces of talisman paper fell to the ground, and the eye of the storm, which was almost invisible to the naked eye, gradually rose from the flat ground. The sand and gravel swirled in circles, getting bigger and faster.
"Go." A red light flashed from Qiu Yanping's fingertips. At the same time as the three talisman papers turned into ashes, the three eye of the storm flew into the burning three-story building at his command.
A strong wind blew up indoors, blowing all the tables and chairs away. The family of three inside held on to the metal armrests embedded in the wall and barely managed to avoid being blown away.
The wind came suddenly, so strong that it seemed as if all the air was sucked out, and their breathing stopped for a moment. The suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe in oxygen made the three people in the room widen their eyes in fear. However, the next second, the air rushed into their lungs again, and the fire that filled the house disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the ruins and black paint in the house.
The air in the room was blown away by the wind, and without oxygen for combustion, the fire was extinguished silently. Qiu Yanping glanced at the three people who were safe and sound and the firefighters who looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened, and left quietly with a profound look of concealing his achievements.
A spot of merit starlight sank into Qiu Yanping's palm, and a trace of warmth penetrated into his body from his palm, extending to his limbs and bones. The numbness and pain deep in his bones that had always existed due to the thunder punishment also subsided a little. Qiu Yanping clenched his palm, and it was true.
He jumped onto the soft bed in the master bedroom, stepped on the pillow with his cat paws, and found a comfortable position to lie down. Not long after he closed his eyes, Qiu Yanping heard a voice from the sky -
The Star Merit Shop is now open. Bagua mirror, Feng Shui sword, star compass, all equipment are available in the Merit Shop. Guests can silently recite small merits in their hearts, and the small merits will always serve guests!
Qiu Yanping was startled by the unexpected sound and suddenly opened his cat eyes wide, with the hair on the back of his neck standing up: Meow???
-&-
On the top floor of the medical center where Qiu Yanping previously lived, a man in a black round-necked shirt sat in a wheelchair with a pale face. Even though he looked sick, he sat upright in military uniform. The man stretched out his hand to the light screen on the right side of the wheelchair and clicked on the news about the fire in District 4 of the street.
"Report to the general!" Two soldiers in military uniforms walked into the ward, saluted the man in a standard military salute, and reported, "The Seventh Division of the Military Headquarters has completely retreated, and no soldiers have been killed or injured. The armistice agreement takes effect today! We succeeded!"
The man closed his eyes, his fingers still on the screen. He paused for a moment, then retracted his fingers. After a few seconds, he nodded slightly, "Very good."
A soldier's eyes were slightly red, and his gaze fell on the man's legs and quickly moved away. He clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "General, we are all waiting for you to recover and return to the team!"
The man twitched his lips twice, and the lines on his face softened slightly. "General Lu from the military headquarters will take my place temporarily. You guys behave yourself."
"General!"
The man glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time to rejoin the team."
The two soldiers were still hesitant to speak, and the man in the wheelchair ordered in a low voice, "Soldier number 23407, soldier number 23409, return to the team."
"Yes, General!" The two soldiers straightened their bodies, saluted, turned around and walked out of the ward with red eyes.
The man watched the ward door close. He waved his hand and fiercely opened the cup and dishes in front of him, staring at his legs with an unsightly expression.
