Pet King

Back in the store, Wang Qian and Li Kun were diligent and clean, and Zhang Zi An asked them to go back to school earlier. After they left, the store was quiet, and Zhang Zi An saw that it was not too late, simply pulling the shutter door down and locking it.

He walked to the statue of the cat god in the corner and knelt down to look closely. The cross section of the nose that was split in half shimmered in the light.

Fina opened her eyes and slid silently from the cat’s climbing frame. Because its movements are too light, Snow Lion, who is blindfolded, doesn’t even notice that the tail in front of him has disappeared…

Old Time Tea also walked in a steady step, staring at the statue.

Zhang Zi An stretched out two fingers and played the statue, giving a firm and dull sound. The statue is undoubtedly solid, and it hurts his fingernails. He only thought that the statue was simple and elegant, and he did not understand why it provoked the reaction of Fina and Old Time Tea.

“Fina, tea father, what is going on?” he asked, squinting.

Old Time Tea gestured to Fina. “It’s still the Queen’s Majesty. It’s very little known about this matter, just listen to it.”

Fina is proud to kneel down. If you look closely, you will find that its posture is exactly the same as that of the statue, except that its fur is too dazzling, and the statue is too simple, unless it stands side by side like this, it is difficult to detect this fact.

“On the black land thousands of years ago, in addition to the worship of the cat god, there are very few people who believe in the darkness secretly enshrine another god – the evil spirit of the cat, it comes from the underworld, no name I have never been recognized, only those who are angry and hate will use it as God.” Fina raised a cat’s claw and pointed at the statue. “The only difference between it and Best is the nose ring. Best is not wearing it. Nose ring.”

Zhang Zi An thinks that this is true. Some people believe in the true God and some people will believe in false gods. Some people believe in Jesus and people believe in Satan. It is nothing but dissatisfaction with the rulers and society at that time. It is not unusual to use this way to resist. There is something in ancient times. Today, there is nothing new under the sun.

He smashed the nose ring in half from the ground and looked at it through the light. He couldn’t see any clues.

“Is this stuff?”

Fina nodded solemnly. “Don’t underestimate this nose ring. It has a history of thousands of years, even before the age of the palace. It is the frightening of the kittens.”

Zhang Zi An shook his head. “I don’t believe it. It’s a bit sloppy. A nose ring thousands of years ago, is there such a big power now? Don’t tell me that this nose ring is also blessed by the power of faith… ”

Fina snorted with a sigh of relief. “What a mortal person knows! This nose ring is not so simple. It has suffered the soaking and baptism of countless animals in the hundreds of thousands of years of ritual activities. The worship of the evil gods has always been this. Bloody, the fear of the animals before they were slaughtered all melted into it. Didn’t you find that the color of this golden nose ring is reddish?”

I heard that the nose ring was soaked and baptized by flesh and blood. Zhang Zi An felt a little disgusting and almost threw it out, but another one was actually made of gold. He was reluctant to throw it, but he was even tighter…

“In short, this palace knows this. To this day, those admirers of evil spirits have already vanished, and even the gods they offer are not known where they are, not worthy of their care.” Fina finished, proudly licking his tail, heavy Jumped back to the cat climbing frame, closed his eyes and began to fight.

Old Time Tea also nodded and said: “The things of the Western ancient spirits are really interesting. Sonian does not have to worry, as Her Majesty said, since ancient times, the evils have been victorious, and these evil sins that ruin the sorrows and sorrows can only be stunned for a while. Can’t escape the fate of falling. The good and the evil will eventually report, and the heavens will be reincarnation. Do not believe to look up, who is the sky?”

After that, Old Time Tea took a step and went back to the electric blanket to have tea and watch TV.

Zhang Zi An smiled and stood up, grabbed the nose ring into his trouser pocket, moved his reclining chair to his original position, and began to play the phone halfway.

Listening to Fina’s remarks, he always has a feeling of inexhaustible feelings. After all, Fina is in a very early age. Unlike the faults that are separated by two thousand years, many things don’t understand. Old Time Tea was born in the East and grew up in the East, but it knows little about Western myths and legends. If you want to hear the story…

Zhang Zi An The finger on the sliding screen stopped and the fingertip just pressed on Wei Kang’s head.

He hesitated a moment, or opened the head of Wei Kang, took a photo of the statue of the cat god and sent it, and asked: “Professor Wei, the origin of this statue, you know?”

Now it’s almost time for dinner. Zhang Zi An estimates that Wei Kang will not reply as soon as possible. He is trying to find a few welfare maps on Taobao’s buyer show. The result is that Wei Kang’s second-round information is received.

Wei Kang: “This is Gayer-Anderson Cat. The original collection is in the British Museum. Are you a replica?”

Zhang Zi An just forgot to ask Xiaoxue, only then did he know the origin of the statue.

He replied: “Yes, Professor Wei is good. Sorry, bother, are you having dinner?”

Wei Kang: “No, I am still at school.”

Zhang Zi An looked at the watch and it was half an 7 at night. The professor was also able to fight.

He replied: “You have to go to eat, your academic research will not run away with long legs, it will be worthless if you break your body.”

Wei Kang: “Well, I will go for a while… Oh, no, what about the statue ring?”

Zhang Zi An took a split nose in his trouser pocket and took a photo.

Zhang Zi An: “Inadvertently broken. Professor Wei, you are very knowledgeable, I want to ask you, is this statue a representative cat god?”

Wei Kang: “There is generally such a feeling, but there are occasional voices of doubt.”

Zhang Zi An: “Why question?”

Wei Kang: “The reason is very simple. Under the sun, such a cat god statue is with a nose ring, which will make people suspicious. There is another statue of cat god in the British Museum, which is anthropomorphic cat, cat The first person, wearing a gorgeous gold dress and shawl, only wears earrings, no nose ring. In addition, another statue of cat gods collected in the Walters Art Museum, only the earrings have no nose ring.”

Zhang Zi An is a slap in the face, and the professor is a professor. It is not a name for the waves. All kinds of allusions come from the hands of the people. It is reasonable and convincing.

According to Fina, he thought about the wording and wrote cautiously: “Professor Wei, I declare in advance that I guess, if you say wrong, don’t blame me! Is it possible… This statue is not serious. Cat god, but what alienated evil spirit?”

After sending the message, he held the phone uneasily and waited for a reply.

He thought that Wei Kang would blame and say that he was whimsical. He did not expect Wei Kang to reply quickly: “This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. It is not uncommon for a cat to be worshipped as a evil spirit in history. The most famous is Baphomet. Only the legendary demon is almost second only to Satan in Christianity. It is said to have been secretly enshrined in the image of a cat by the famous Knights Templar. As early as thousands of years ago, Jews were enslaved by ancient Egyptians for a long time. And the relationship between the Jews and the Bible does not need to be said more?”

Wei Kang’s words were somewhat hidden. Zhang Zi An didn’t understand it at first. After staring at the words for a few minutes, in his mind, the two lines connected several keywords.

The first line is: Ancient Egyptians – Jews – Christianity – Knights Templar.

The second line is: the cat god Bastet – the alienated cat of the underworld – the demon Baphomet.

Zhang Zi An suddenly realized that the Christian persecution of witches and cats in the Middle Ages seemed to be inextricably linked, and the fog of history gradually became clearer in front of his eyes.

Wei Kang seems to have left him with some time to think. After a while, he continued to send messages: “Of course, how many of these things are rumors, and how many are facts, it is not known, unless the people at the time live. Come over, otherwise no one knows what the truth is about – including the statue of the cat god.”

Zhang Zi An wrote back: “I understand, thank you, Professor Wei, a wonderful story!”

After that, he closed the phone screen and looked at the statue of the cat god isolated in the corner again, sighing gently.

Whether it is a true cat or a pseudo-cat, whether it has been worshipped by the people or baptized, it is not important now, and the long river of history can bury everything.

As the saying goes: How many things in ancient and modern times, pay as much as you can.
