The ghost carrying the coffin of a dragon giving birth to a son

Seeing the living Buddha leaving, the monkey hurried over and said to me with great excitement:

"Lao Lin, don't listen to that monk's nonsense."

"I won't leave you. I don't want a bright future. I just want to follow you to slay demons."

I laughed when I saw the monkey's excitement, patted the monkey on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Monkey, don't get excited. I didn't say I would drive you away."

The monkey held my hand tightly and looked at me with excitement:

"Lao Lin, you really don't want to drive me away?"

I laughed and cursed:

"Monkey, don't you still trust me? When did I lie to you?"

The monkey suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then grinned and said:

"Lao Lin, you scared me to death. I thought you were going to drive me away."

I laughed and cursed:

"You stinky monkey, am I such a cruel person?"

"Let's go and explain to the old man."

The uncle was very grateful to me for inviting the Bodhisattva away, so he stuffed me a red envelope as a thank you.

When I got home, I asked the monkey to prepare some food and wine, and we drank together.

After a few glasses of wine, Monkey's cheeks felt hot.

He put his arm around my shoulders and said:

"Lao Lin, you are my best brother in the world!"

"Without you, I would be worse off than a dog."

"It's you who allowed me to find the true meaning of life and the joy of life."

I clinked glasses with him and said:

"Monkey, you are also my best brother in this world. It is you who make me feel the friendship between friends."

"Now I have something to ask you for help. Can you help me?"

The monkey patted his chest and said loudly without hesitation:

"Lao Lin, your business is my business!"

"Tell me what you want me to do, and I will definitely do it for you."

I laughed and said:

"Good brother, that's interesting!"

We both had another drink, and I put my arm around his shoulders and said:

"Monkey, do you know what my dream is?"

Monkey shook his head.

I pointed to the sky and said:

"My dream is to become the strongest being in Feng Shui Xuanmen."

"I know this dream is a bit big. If I want to be the strongest, I have to step on the shoulders of countless people and climb up. You can imagine how difficult it is."

"So, I need you to help me, help me overcome obstacles, and share my pressure."

The monkey said without hesitation:

"Lao Lin, tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

"Through fire and water, I will not give up even if I die!"

I said very seriously:

"You become a master, a peerless master, so that you can help me share the pressure."

The monkey scratched his head and whispered:

"But what should I do if I'm still far from being a peerless master?"

I said in a deep voice:

"Now there is an opportunity before you to worship the living Buddha as your teacher."

"The Living Buddha said that you have Buddha roots and you will definitely become the supreme Buddha in Buddhism one day."

"If you become a Buddha, you can help me overcome obstacles and help me realize my dream."

Hearing this, the monkey became excited and wanted to open his mouth to speak.

I shouted and said:

"Monkey, don't you want to help me?"

"If you really want to treat me as a brother, you have to make me stronger, otherwise you can't help me!"

The monkey looked at me with begging for mercy. At this moment, I couldn't bear it, but I still said cruelly:

"Monkey, the Living Buddha said that if you want to worship him as your teacher, you don't need to join Buddhism. You can just be a lay disciple."

"As a lay disciple, there is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol, eating meat, getting married and having children."

"The Living Buddha is one of the most powerful beings in Feng Shui Xuanmen. If you worship him as your teacher, it means that I have a strong backup. If I encounter Feng Shui Xuanmen bullying me again in the future, you can also stand by me." Come out and help me defend against foreign enemies.”

"With such a good thing, why are you still hesitating?"

The monkey lowered his head and whispered:

"Lao Lin, can you let me think about it again?"

I raised my voice and said:

"There is nothing to consider. The opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, you will miss it forever."

"Aren't you going to help me? Aren't you going to slay demons with me?"

"You worship the living Buddha as your teacher, learn profound Buddhist teachings, and help me kill big monsters and eliminate big demons in the future. How happy it is!"

"Monkey, answer me, are you going or not?"

The monkey opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a while.

I raised my voice and shouted:

"Answer me, are you going or not?"

"If you don't go, you won't be my brother from now on!"

The monkey clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, his body shaking due to excessive exertion.

The circles under his eyes began to turn red, and he was struggling internally.

I slammed the wine glass on the table and said angrily:

"Monkey, can't you give me a nice word?"

"To go, or not to go?"

"Say!"

"Go, can't I go?"

The monkey gritted his teeth and shouted with a cry.

I nodded:

"Very good, this is my good brother Ding Lin."

"Pack your things, then go say hello to Xu Yin, and I will take you to Kongang Temple tomorrow!"

After that, I returned to the room without giving the monkey a chance to speak.

When I got to the room, I gasped and whispered:

"Monkey, I'm sorry!"

"You have a brighter future, and I don't want you to get dust on me."

"If you have resentment in your heart, then resent it."

"You've always been my best brother!"

It is precisely because I regard the monkey as my best brother that I want to drive him away from me, otherwise I will let him follow me into dust and live under my light for the rest of his life.

Having lived with a monkey for so long, I know his temper. If I don't force him with words, he will be very hesitant and find it difficult to make a decision.

Time soon came to the next day. The monkey lowered his head and his eyes were dull.

Seeing him like that made me feel sad inside, but I didn't show it. I had to be cruel at this time.

I said:

"Let's go, the Living Buddha is already waiting for you at the Vajra Temple."

Monkey said nothing and got into the car with his head hanging down.

The trip to Vajra Temple was more than a thousand kilometers away, and Monkey drove alone the entire journey without saying a word.

The Living Buddha was waiting in front of the Vajra Temple. When he saw me coming with the monkey, the Living Buddha smiled and said to me:

"Master Ding, your wisdom is very deep and you will become a great person in the future!"

I said in a low voice:

"Living Buddha, I leave my brother to you."

"If he is wronged by you, don't blame me for being rude."

The Living Buddha smiled and nodded:

"Master Ding, just wait, I will definitely give you a Buddha one day!"

"This is one of the best decisions you've ever made!"

I patted the monkey on the shoulder and whispered:

"Monkey, take care!"

"If you have time, you can go to Longjiang City to find me. I will reserve the room for you."

The monkey still lowered his head, said nothing, and looked sad.

Seeing him looking so sad, I felt very bad. I forced myself not to look at him, turned around and walked away.

I was just about to get in the car when Monkey suddenly turned his head and shouted:

"Lao Lin!"

I turned and looked at him.

The monkey had a smile on his face and shouted to me:

"Lao Lin, I understand your painstaking efforts. I know you used this method to force me to come."

"Don't worry, I will work hard to practice. I will learn it as soon as possible and come down the mountain to help you."

I had a big smile on my face and clapped my hands in the air at him.

The monkey also hurriedly clapped his hands in the air.

I said loudly:

"Monkey, I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain."

"When you finish learning and come down the mountain, come and help me!"

"Okay, Lao Lin, this is our mutual agreement!"

"Be safe on your way back!"

the monkey shouted.

I drove back to Longjiang City.

When I got home, Xu Yin was waiting for me at the door.

I said:

"Xu Yin, monkeys are just lay disciples and will not affect marriage and childbirth. You don't have to worry."

"He was born with Buddha roots, and it won't take long for him to come down the mountain."

Xu Yin nodded and said softly:

"Ding Lin, can I talk to you?"

I nodded and said:

"If anything happens, let's talk at the door."

Xu Yin told me that Monkey went to see her last night, where he cried bitterly and talked to her a lot.

Xu Yin said:

"Ding Lin, the monkey told me that he understands your thoughts and knows that you are doing it for his own good."

"He also asked me to convey to you, please rest assured that he will always be your brother and will never embarrass you no matter where he goes."

I smiled and nodded.

After chatting for a while, Xu Yin left.

I was alone at home again, and the room seemed a little deserted.

"Meow!"

Bai Lin jumped on my shoulder and said:

"Ding Lin, don't be sad, I'm still with you."

I smiled and touched her head and held her in my arms.

I was just about to go back to my room to practice Qigong in the evening when Minglou suddenly came.

I smiled and asked:

"Ming Lou, come to me so late, are you okay?"
