Chapter 2: Song Miaotian Supreme

After the wine party, Liangkun took it to the monk's Buddhist utensils shop.

After saying hello to Dad He, Liangkun came to the monk's room.

The monk was doing push-ups in the room.

Hearing Liangkun's greeting, the monk did not stop, but continued to do push-ups while counting.

“…… 58,59,60…… 99,100。 ”

The monk was tired and lay on the ground, slowly got up, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a pack of cigarettes from the bedside, took a cigarette in his mouth, handed another cigarette to Liangkun, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Liangkun took the cigarette and said, "I came up with an idea that can be related to the police, but also inconspicuous." You know, there are a lot of troubles in the business of making money, especially in the places where the police are troubled, and there is no way not to have a good relationship with these people. ”

The monk lit the cigarette on his lips and said, "What business?" ”

Liangkun pointed out the door.

The monk said: "Don't worry, my father has also come out to mix, and he knows the severity, and he will be fine." ”

Liangkun shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, this business is related to Dad He." ”

The monk said: "Don't mess around, my dad broke a hand, and it was still his right hand, what can he help with in business?" ”

Liangkun said: "The business I'm talking about is to make a funeral club. ”

The monk said: "The funeral society has something to do with the police, but it doesn't bribe the police for the sake of pulling a few more corpses, right?" ”

Liang Kun said: "In the whole Monga, only Dad He is doing this business. He is unwilling to make more, otherwise he will make a lot of money and make a big house. If his business goes out of Monga, it will do the whole of Taipei. People die because of the greatness, should the fee be higher? Build a good relationship with the police, do more business, and make more than a little more. By the way, it is logical to ask the police to help with other things, right? ”

The monk said: "My father's funeral club has affected me to find a wife. If you tell me to inherit my father's business again, whose daughter will dare to marry me? ”

Liangkun smiled: "Monk, are you joking?" The girl who is willing to marry you can be lined up from Keelung to Kaohsiung, but you are not close to women! Do you want me to dedicate you a song "Linglong Tower"? ”

Linglong Tower

Tower

Thirteen floors of Linglong Pagoda

There is a temple in front of the tower

There are old monks in the temple

The old monk is the abbot

There were six apprentices

The monk covered his ears and said, "Can you stop, who can stand your broken gong singing?" ”

Liangkun stopped singing and said, "You can't even appreciate Xu Xiaofeng's songs, then I'll give you a different version." ”

Linglong Tower

Tower

The first floor of the Linglong Pagoda.

A high table with four legs

A monk's book

A cymbal, a chime

A wooden fish and a lamp

A golden bell is four taels

The wind blew and was stunned

The monk's head hurt even more when he heard this, and he said, "Stop, stop." ”

Liangkun said: "If you don't tell me to stop, I can't go on myself, more than 2,000 words of tongue twisters, I haven't practiced it, I read it according to the script, and my tongue has to be bald." ”

The monk said, "I promise you, as long as you don't open your mouth to chant the scriptures." The funeral club is a more serious business than the underground casino, and I did. ”

Liangkun said: "You have to look at a cause from its positive social significance. Isn't it significant to be cautious and chase the distance? Looking at all kinds of corpses all day long, when you go out to cut people in the future, you will be more courageous than others, is this an industry advantage? ”

The monk was speechless, lying on the bed and covering his head with a quilt.

Liangkun said: "You don't want to be like this! It's easy for you to misunderstand! ”

The monk turned over, turned his back to Liangkun, and said only one word: "Get out!" ”

……

When he came out of the monk's room, Liangkun also specially chatted with Dad He, "Dad He, I have persuaded the monk that from tomorrow, he will follow you to learn how to dispose of corpses, how to bury, and how to chant scriptures." This can be regarded as 'the son inherits the father's business', and your family can be regarded as 'successor'. ”

Father He said with a confused face: "Liangkun, you are not mistaken, right? It's because my hand is broken, it's not a family business, my dad sells fruit. I didn't think about letting a monk do the same! ”

Liangkun said: "This line of work is very profitable! Do you think, now that more and more young people are coming to Taipei, is the population of Taipei increasing? The more people there are, the more people die, and this industry is very promising. ”

Dad He said: "To tell you the truth, before doing this business, I also rolled on the rivers and lakes, beating and cutting people, I have done it. However, after doing this line of work, I realized that the ones I had experienced before were all petty jokes. For the first few weeks, I couldn't eat every day. I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. ”

Liangkun said: "Young people just have to suffer more, and they get used to it when they vomit." Aren't you used to it now? ”

Dad He said: "That's what I said. However, after doing this business for a long time, there will be a bad smell on the body, I can't smell it, others can easily smell it, the monk is not married, I am afraid that it will affect him and the girl. ”

Liangkun said: "Dad He, you have also rolled on the rivers and lakes, which industry has the most beautiful girls?" Eight major industries! Why? The money is coming quickly! If you have money, are you afraid that there will be no beautiful women? ”

Dad He said: "There are many beautiful women, like Pan Jinlian, what's the use of being beautiful, isn't it to attract cats and dogs?" I don't care if my daughter-in-law is beautiful or not, just be virtuous. ”

Liangkun slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, if it was a virtuous girl, she wouldn't care about this little flaw!" ”

At this time, the monk walked into the Buddhist furniture shop and said, "I can't listen to it anymore, you are enough!" ”

Liangkun said: "I'm telling the truth! Don't be angry, let's go drink and have supper. I must treat you to a good meal tonight, didn't you listen to Dad He? You won't be able to eat for the next few weeks. Dad He will go too! ”

Dad He said: "I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to digest it after eating supper. Or you young people! ”

……

On a late-night supper stall.

The monk pointed to the food on the table and said, "This is why you invited me to have a good meal?" ”

Liangkun said indifferently: "It's so late, I can't ask the hotel chef to cook you a full banquet." It's going to be a minute! ”

The monk picked up a fried chicken leg and took a big bite.

Liangkun said: "In order to prevent you from going to jail for bribing the police, I also helped you find a substitute for the dead, I have already called him just now, and he will come over soon." ”

After speaking, Liangkun saw a guy who was stumbling around, pointed at each other, and said, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." I don't know if he really knows how to spell! ”

Liangkun stood up, waved his hand and shouted, "Song Miaotian Supreme, here!" ”

Song Miaotian looked like he was in a suit and leather shoes, and he was dignified, but his appearance of stumbling around lowered his evaluation in the monk's mind.

Song Miaotian sat down beside Liangkun.

Liangkun introduced: "This is Song Miaotian Supreme, and this is my brother monk He Tianyou." ”

The monk and Song Miaotian shook hands.

Liangkun said: "Song Miaotian Supreme is a Pingtung person. When he was a child, he coincided with the Second World War and his mother's early death, so that Song Miaotian's young mind realized the emptiness and impermanence of the world, so he opened up the understanding of pursuing spiritual liberation. When Song Miaotian served in the army, he began to devote himself to the pursuit of religion, and after constantly searching for various religious sects, he met the eighty-fourth generation master of Zen Buddhism, Jing Zai Zen Master, and worshiped under Jing Zai Zen Master to practice the empirical Zen Buddhism's Dharma Eye Concealment, Nirvana Wonderful Heart, Reality Without Appearance, Subtle Method, No Words, and Outside the Teaching' of the Buddha's Heart Initiation and Wisdom Subtle Mind. After eight years of painstaking practice, he finally received the 84th generation of the master's instructions to pass on the Buddha's heart seal, and at the same time inherited the lineage of the Zen Rinzai sect, starting from the Chinese Zen Bodhidharma Patriarch to the 58th generation of the grandmaster, and from the Rinzai Yixuan patriarch to the 48th generation of the Grandmaster. Am I right, Song Miaotian Supreme? ”

Song Miaotian nodded and said, "Mr. Ni is right! ”

The monk frowned and said to Liangkun: "My nickname is 'Monk', I know these things better than you, don't be deceived by him." Judging by his appearance, he is at most a 'lay man'. Only monks can be 'masters' to spread the Dharma, and 'lay families' can only be Dharma protectors, and cannot lead the people to speak the Dharma. ”

Song Miaotian said: "Now is the era of the end of the Dharma, and the practice of Buddhism has long been reduced to the practice of consciousness and the practice of the Dharma. In order to break the paranoid concept of traditional Buddhism that 'only a monk can be a master and propagate the Dharma, and a family member can only be a protector of the Dharma and cannot lead the people to speak the Dharma', I came out to promote the Zen Dharma with the spirit of orthodox Zen Buddhism. Because I am now a 'lay scholar', I am mistaken by some people for a 'new religion' that I am promoting. In fact, the teachings I am promoting are not new religions, but orthodox Buddhism that inherits the transmission of Buddhism, and uses the wisdom of modern people to achieve the goal of practice directly through meditation, and this purpose is what the world-honored and patriarch said, 'clear mind and nature, and see nature to become a Buddha'. ”

The monk turned his head away, with an expression of "I believe you are a ghost".

Liangkun attached to the monk's ear and whispered: "As long as you can be a good substitute for the dead ghost, what do you care about him?" ”

The monk summed up in his heart, too.

Liangkun said: "I have already agreed with Song Miaotian Supreme that he will next build a Shanyuan Mountain Villa in the suburbs, which will be used as a place for Song Miaotian Supreme to propagate the Dharma, and at the same time will build a spirit bone tower, which will not only contain the bones and ashes of those dead believers, but also give those homeless and unclaimed dead a resting place. If you want to be buried, it doesn't matter, there is also a cemetery next to Shanyuan Villa. You can work together. ”

The monk said helplessly: "Liangkun, you are too dark, and you can make money from the dead, it's too unlucky, right?" ”

Liangkun said: "Gang fire will also kill people, is the money earned by the gang 'dead money'?" Earning money is the most important thing! ”

Liangkun turned his head to Song Miaotian and said, "Supreme Song Miaotian, can you go to Hong Kong?" ”

Song Miaotian said: "I graduated from the 46th Industrial College of the Underworld and was admitted to the pre-officer, and I served in the army for ten years, so I can leave the country legally. ”

Liangkun said: "That's right, I have a film company in Hong Kong, and I can help you take a few photos to help you spread the Dharma." ”

Liangkun's words made Song Miaotian very curious.

When the monk heard this, he was also very curious and asked, "What photos can help him deceive?" ”

Liangkun said: "Yes, of course. The doppelganger technique, flying in place, what palms glow, the top of your head glows, you will have a set. When someone asks you what you have, you show him the picture. ”

The monk said, "Just fool around like this?" Isn't it too fake? ”

Liangkun said: "You think you are on the second floor, but in fact I am on the third floor. There are so many people in the world, and it is obviously unrealistic to develop everyone into believers. Developing believers is also energy-intensive. If you put a lot of effort into the early stage and fail in the end, it is undoubtedly a waste. If a person sees a photo of Song Miaotian Supreme, he directly says that he is a liar, and the cost of spending is minimized. Save time and costs, and be able to develop more believers. If a person does not say that this is a scam or a deception at the beginning, then it is very likely that he will become a follower of Song Miaotian's Supreme, continue to follow, and have a higher success rate in generating faith. It's called 'precision marketing'! ”

Liang Kun's words, Song Miaotian smiled and applauded when he heard it, and he didn't know whether it was resonant, or because he learned a trick and "smiled".

The monk was also dumbfounded and shouted: "You have deceived the theory!" ”

Liangkun said to the monk solemnly: "We are brothers, it doesn't matter what attitude you have when you talk to me. However, for Song Miaotian Supreme, you must remain solemn and respectful, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later! ”

Song Miaotian smiled solemnly and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The monk muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Eat a roadside stall, what are you talking about solemnity and respect." ”

……

After eating supper and separating from Song Miaotian, Liangkun sent the monk home.

Liangkun said: "It also took a lot of effort for me to find Song Miaotian. Don't fool around, it's hard to find the right person like him. ”

The monk said: "There are so many scammers large and small in Taiwan, is it difficult to find? ”

Liangkun said: "The famous liars are asking too high, and we can't afford to give it." A crook like him who has not yet become famous, who has not been proven, who knows what the ability is? ”

Monk Qi said: "Then you can be sure that he must be the kind of 'capable' liar?" ”

Liangkun said: "He is definitely the kind of liar with the strongest ability." ”

The monk asked, "Then how did you find him?" ”

Liangkun said: "Spending money to find the Ministry of the Interior, checking the household registration found out, his original name was Song Mingming, and later changed his name to Song Miaotian." ”

The monk asked, "So you found him by name?" ”

Liang Kun said: "The name is a big mystery. For example, your nickname is 'Monk', so you are not good at peach blossoms. ”

The monk pretended to be angry and said, "You are making fun of me again, looking for a fight!" ”

Liangkun smiled and ran forward, dodging the monk's fist.

- Although the monk was joking, he didn't use very much force, but this didn't have a very strong fist, and Liangkun couldn't afford it.
