Chapter 139: Buddha Statue Business
After seeing the old woman return to the village, I looked back, the black smoke on my face had dispersed, I put the skull back in my bag, continued to inquire in the village, and finally let me inquire, as expected, Dabang's parents were indeed gone, Dabang's father died very early, but his mother did not die until last year.
Neighbors said that Dabang's mother lived to be ninety-three years old, the oldest old man in the village, and she was also diagnosed with terminal cancer when she was in her seventies, and the doctor said that she could only live for three years at most, but Dabang's mother not only lived for three years, but also lived to ninety-three years old, and it was not until last year that the cancer spread and died, it was amazing, after her death, there were people from medical institutions who wanted to buy her body and wanted to conduct research, but Dabang's mother had entrusted the village chief before she died, and she was sent to the temple for cremation after her death, and the ashes were placed directly in the templeγ
I understand what's going on, this is the spiritual power that Azanfeng said, Dabang's mother has been thinking about her son, she doesn't want to die like this, she wants to see her son alive, so her obsession is very strong, and the obsession for decades has accumulated to form a kind of mana, which restrains the spread of cancer cells in the body, but after all, people are mortal wombs, and they can't bear the passing years, and no matter how strong the obsession is, they can't resist the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death.
It's a pity, if Dabang's mother can hold on for a year, maybe she can look forward to the news of her son, I think no matter whether Dabang is dead or alive, his mother should have waited for so many years, and she will definitely not be too sad, what she is waiting for is just a news about her son, an unfulfilled wish.
Anyway, I'm going to the temple to find Luang Po Chaodu Dabang, since his mother's ashes are also in the temple, it is better to let the two mothers and children stay in the same temple, I asked the neighbors where the temple is located and rushed over.
The temple is located on the west side of the village, and the neighbor said that it would only take a short walk along the road to get there, but I walked about ten kilometers before I saw a small, dilapidated temple.
I was tired holding my knees and panting, the soles of my feet are estimated to be out of the blisters, what is the concept of Thai people "walking for a while", ten kilometers is also called walking for a while, this is about to catch up with the marathon, the weather is so hot is just fatal, and the Chinese people's "coming soon" is really a comparison, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand, these villagers are used to walking, ten kilometers for them may really just walk for a while.
This temple seems to have only one hall, step into the main hall, which enshrines a dilapidated four-faced Buddha with paint off, an old monk in a yellow robe sat there and meditated, after hearing the movement, he opened his eyes, his eyebrows suddenly twisted up, and his eyes looked directly at my backpack like a torch, probably sensing the yin qi of the skull.
I hurriedly explained the intention, the old monk then stretched his brows, introduced himself as the presiding officer of this temple Long Po, called Long Po Phi, the ashes of Dabang's mother are indeed enshrined here, I asked him how much it costs to overspend the Yin Spirit, Long Po Phi looked up at the Erawan Buddha, seemed to hesitate, and then offered a price of five thousand baht.
I was a little surprised, this price is relatively high, equivalent to 1,000 yuan, the temple dragon woman is very common to overtake the yin spirit, under normal circumstances, the fee is not too high, basically a few hundred baht can be solved, and this temple is on the side of the highway, it should serve the nearby villagers, how can the villagers have so much money, how can the charge be so high?
I frowned, I heard Huang Laoxie say that in recent years, Thailand's tourism industry has developed rapidly, attracting a lot of foreign tourists, so many commercial temples have been born, which are specifically open to foreigners to make foreigners' money, is this temple a commercial temple?
Although the price is a bit expensive, I don't dare to bargain, because the counteroffer is disrespectful to the dragon woman, I want to pay only to find that there is not so much cash baht in my pocket, just now I also took a part to the old woman, there is a little car money left, I signaled if I can pay with my mobile phone.
Luang Po Phi shook her head and said that only cash is accepted, I don't know what to do, there is no bank nearby, and it is so far from the village, I can't go back to it.
At this moment, there was a sound of brakes outside the temple, and the stereo in the car was still very loud, and the rhythm of the movement was transmitted into the temple, and it was actually an old Chinese song "Pink Memories", and I subconsciously looked out.
A domestically made Great Wall pickup truck was parked at the entrance of the temple, carrying a large item in its body, tightly wrapped in red cloth, and tied with hemp rope and fixed on the baffle.
I saw a man coming down from the cab, the man was wearing big sunglasses and a straw hat, wearing a fancy shirt and shorts, chewing something in his mouth, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet, he hummed proudly to the rhythm of the music, looked up at the temple, and seemed to want to call someone, but after taking a look at me, he was stunned, and then took off the big sunglasses, and said with a confused face: "Boss Luo, why are you here?"
I also recognized who this person was, and I was also surprised, it was actually Du Yong, how did this guy come here, what a coincidence.
I went out, Du Yong hadn't come back to his senses, he kept looking at me, and asked for a long time: "Why did you appear in such a remote temple?"
"I should have asked you that, right, so what are you doing here?" I said.
"I came here for business, home delivery. Du Yong pointed to the large object in the car body.
"What is it?" I wondered.
"You can't describe this object as a thing. Du Yong waved his finger to the back of the car, put down the baffle, untied the rope and lifted the red cloth to show me.
I looked at it, it turned out to be a brand-new gold lacquer four-sided Buddha statue, I looked at the dilapidated four-sided Buddha statue in the temple, and suddenly realized it, no wonder just now Long Po looked at the Buddha statue before the price was hesitant, it turned out that the temple was going to change the new Buddha statue, the reason why he opened such a high price is very easy to understand, it must cost a lot of money to change the Buddha statue, and it is not strange to want to make more, at the same time, I also understand who the Long Po is making this money for, it can only be Du Yong.
"Why do you do everything, even the Buddha statue business?" I wondered.
"There's no way to make ends meet, and it's not every day that someone is evil and asks me for matchmaking, now that the information is so developed, some will go to find it themselves, and gambling is always losing, alas. Du Yong said helplessly.
Du Yong asked me why I was here, and I had to tell him what had happened.
