When Bihua Lingjun brought the gray wolf cub back to heaven, everyone was puzzled. Several immortal friends heard that Bihua Lingjun had brought back another spirit beast, so they came to watch the fun as usual. When they saw the fluffy gray fur, they were all surprised. The little wolf demon huddled on the futon, and shrank back every time it was looked at, trying hard to stick its head into the futon. When they finished looking at it and left, the immortal friends couldn't help asking, "Brother Bihua, how did you get such a thing?"
Bihua Lingjun said with a smile: "Your eyesight is not good enough to see its goodness." One of the immortal friends said: "Perhaps, but no matter how you look at it, it is also the most insignificant wolf spirit in the mortal world. You can catch a better one anywhere. And no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit stupid. I really can't see how it is rare."
Bihua Lingjun said slowly: "If you think about it, you will know why it is so rare. In the mortal world, it is extremely difficult to cultivate and become a spirit. But this young wolf is stupid and dumb, but it can actually become a spirit. It must be born with special spiritual roots or have a special adventure. No matter which one it is, it is extremely rare."
After sending his friend back to the mansion, the gray wolf cub was taken to the little fairy boy for a bath. His fur was smoothed, and he looked much better. Bihua Lingjun touched his head lovingly and said, "How is the heaven?" The little wolf looked down at his front paws. Bihua Lingjun held his front paws and squeezed them, "Your previous name was not very nice. I will give you a new name. From now on, you will be called Ge Yue."
Many years later, Ge Yue often lay on the roof and sighed: "Heaven is such a great place." Bihua Lingjun stood beside him, looking at the distant clouds and said: "Then you should thank me for my keen eyes that day." Ge Yue patted his forehead and said: "Lingjun, you have been repeating this for countless years, don't you feel tired?" Bihua Lingjun said with a smile: "Since you have listened to me for countless years, why do you still stay there without me repeating the following words again? Today's immortal cultivation lessons have not been completed yet, go down and continue practicing." Raising his hand, Ge Yue's body floated up, and was grabbed by the collar by Bihua Lingjun and thrown from the roof into the yard.
Ge Yue got up from the ground, shook his robe, and said with a smile: "Ling Jun, you know I can't get anything done anyway, so please don't let me practice any more magic, okay?"
Bihua Lingjun landed from the roof into the courtyard: "I brought you back to try to paste the rotten mud on the wall. Now it seems that half of the wall has been pasted, and the effect is quite good. So the other half must also be pasted."
Ge Yue pretended to look sad and sighed, then dragged her feet to the quiet room to practice.
Bihua Lingjun really spent a lot of effort on him.
Ge Yue was very timid at first, so Bihua Lingjun brought it with him all day long in order to make it braver. Whether it was drinking tea and playing chess with immortal friends, or talking about Taoism and scriptures. Bihua Lingjun occasionally liked to visit the Tathagata in the West Heaven, and he would also bring Ge Yue with him. At first, Ge Yue only dared to shrink in Bihua Lingjun's arms and tremble, but later, her courage gradually grew. It became a habit for her to follow Bihua Lingjun wherever he went. When Bihua Lingjun drank tea, played chess, talked about Taoism and scriptures, Ge Yue would lie beside Bihua Lingjun or put her head in Bihua's arms and sleep comfortably.
Although Ge Yue had spiritual roots, he was a little stupid and dumb at first. When he was neither stupid nor dumb, he developed a lazy disease. His cultivation of immortality was scattered and scattered. Bihua Lingjun was really anxious and stuffed him with a few elixirs. After stumbling for more than a hundred years, Ge Yue was able to transform into a human body freely. It was a gray wolf. When it was in human form, it always wore a gray robe. Ge Yue did not have a big temper, but was a little lazy and lazy. He liked to go away and take a nap. He always ran errands and delivered letters for Bihua Lingjun and strolled around the Heavenly Palace. All the gods in the Heavenly Palace liked him very much. Yuanshi Tianzun even wanted Ge Yue to be his fairy messenger, but Ge Yue respectfully refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but since I have entered Lingjun's door, I don't want to change to another place. Lingjun brought me to the Heavenly Palace. I can never repay this kindness. I only hope that from now on, I will follow Lingjun's orders."
Afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed to Bihua Lingjun: "It is very difficult to train a wolf, but it is so loyal to you, which is really precious." Bihua Lingjun chose a free time to say to Ge Yue: "Today, I, Yuanshi Tianzun, praised you and admired your loyalty. In fact, whether I bring you with me or raise other spirit beasts, it is because I like you, not because of a favor. You are in my mansion, which can be regarded as a kind of immortal fate, and there is no such thing as a favor. You can think about your future ambitions and career, and join other immortals or I recommend you to take up an immortal position. For example, Yuanshi Tianzun wants you to be his seat, which is very good."
Ge Yue looked at Bihua Lingjun with her emerald eyes, and after a while she smiled and said, "Lingjun, what you said makes a lot of sense, but those words about repaying a favor are actually, ahem, those are words I used to fool Tianzun. I can't just tell Tianzun that I'm just too lazy to go. Alas, Lingjun, you know I've always been lazy, and whether I serve under other immortal monarchs or have an immortal position, I will definitely not be as comfortable as I am now. I - if I just want to stay in the mansion, Lingjun, can you please not chase me away?" His expression was so earnest that Bihua Lingjun could almost see pointed wolf ears growing on his head, shaking in a flattering manner.
Until one day, Bihua Lingjun took Ge Yue to visit the West Heaven again. It happened that a venerable had strayed into the devil's way and wanted to flee. The Tathagata was preaching by the Ganges at that time, and most of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the West Heaven were present to listen to the Tathagata's teachings. Only the Buddha Dipankara and the Buddha of Great Compassion, who were chatting with Bihua, suddenly noticed and began to resist. Bihua Lingjun naturally came to help. There were two devils, but the two Buddhas and Bihua thought there was only one, and they only wanted to capture him, not to hurt him, so they were very gentle. Ge Yue knew that Bihua Lingjun was more than capable of handling such a situation, so he did not dare to rush forward to cause trouble. He just stood aside and was on guard. Suddenly, he found that there was another devil lurking and approaching, ready to attack.
When Bihua Lingjun noticed the movement and turned around hurriedly, he saw Ge Yue being lifted up by a Zen stick through the chest and then nailed to the ground.
Ge Yue's immortal essence was completely shattered, and it was impossible to save him. Bihua Lingjun just watched him struggle and tried to smile, listening to him speak intermittently: "I... If I could listen to Lingjun... work harder... and practice immortal arts better... then~ it would be fine..."
The gray robe was covered in blood, and the immortal light around Ge Yue gradually weakened: "Ling Jun... if you hadn't brought me... back to heaven... I would have starved to death... Ling Jun said... that I had a destiny with him... I was very happy... and in the end... I didn't go anywhere... I was still by Ling Jun's side..."
The blood-stained young man in gray turned into a blood-stained gray wolf in the faint fairy light. He struggled and put his head on the corner of Bihua Lingjun's clothes. The fairy light dissipated and he remained motionless.
Tathagata combined Ge Yue's shattered soul into a tiny spiritual essence and handed it to Bihua Lingjun: "Although it can be made into an elixir, it can revive its soul and enter reincarnation. But it will take a long time, and it will all depend on its chance."
Later I thought that Tathagata had already foreseen some future events at that time.
Even if you are a god, you cannot change your fate.
Bihua Lingjun lay on the bed, old emotions surging in his heart, he couldn't tell whether it was heartache or emotion.
The pillow suddenly said, "It's a pity that the wolf is still in the egg. If I were there, maybe the wolf would have saved his life."
Bihua Lingjun said: "The Emperor's power is indeed boundless. He can even read what the little fairy is thinking."
The clouds around him rustled, as if Dan Yu had turned over. "I don't have the ability to detect your thoughts. But you haven't moved since just now, and you haven't fallen asleep. There's a hint of sadness in your breath. Ten times out of ten, you're thinking about the wolf."
A hand reached out and touched Bihua Lingjun's shoulder: "I have experienced helpless things. If you feel uncomfortable, you can lean on my arms."
