Chapter 23: Plantain Roots
Kaohsiung snorted: "I'm too lazy to type with my mobile phone, you should record in the future." One of those two tiles is a positive yin card, and the other is an evil yin card. The tree spirit is the positive yin, and the spiritual spirit is the evil yin. The two great spirits are the yin spirits with two adults in the Buddha card, the resentful bone is the bone that the deceased cannot burn, and those black are the graveyard soil mixed with corpse oil. Dryads refer to spiritual plants that have a soul, and after being sensed by Azan they are blessed every day, and they live longer than ordinary plants. After death, the roots of the tree are also considered yin, understand?"
After listening, I felt my scalp tingle, although I have heard a lot of knowledge about Thai Buddhist relics in Kaohsiung in recent days, but after all, I have not been exposed to it, and it is not at least harmful. But now that this kind of amulet is in Kaohsiung's hand, and it will be shipped to me at any time, I am a little trembling. I asked, "This, that light gray thing on the back of this amulet is the bones of a dead man?"
"What else do you think it is, bread slice?" Mr. Kaohsiung said. At this time, I remembered the Buddhist plaque that the tour guide Xiaomei gave me, and there was also this kind of thing embedded on the back, so I asked Kaohsiung if it was the same raw material.
I hoped he would say no, but I didn't expect Kaohsiung to hesitate and say directly: "Count you smart." "I was scared for a while, and I was really bold at that time, and I wore a Buddhist card embedded with the bones of a dead man around my neck, no wonder I saw a pregnant woman and a female ghost in the middle of the night. Plus the graveyard soil mixed with corpse oil...... The more I thought about it, the more disgusted I became, and I went straight back to the meal I had just eaten, and asked if it was dangerous to have a heavy material like a Buddha card in Kaohsiung.
Kaohsiung said: "It's not okay to make a mistake in the offering, break the taboo and not follow the rules, the most important thing is to be unruly, and it will be miserable." "I thought to myself, the boss is also a neighbor, this kind of too scary Buddha card is better not to sell him, or a milder insurance, so I asked him if the Dryad Buddha card can be better.
"It's a tree spirit, not a dryad!" Kaohsiung corrected, "The tree spirit card is not a heavy material, and the effect is not so domineering, but the possibility of backlash is also very small, after all, it is not a yin spirit." Is there anything more terrible in the world than a man? Although there is no evidence that there are ghosts in the world, who is not afraid of ghosts?
At the same time, Kaohsiung also told me that the special rule of this amulet is that it can only provide 50 days of vows for the worshippers at a time, counting from the first effect. Then it's time to go back. I hurriedly asked why, and Kaohsiung said: "Many yin cards have special rules, mainly depending on the spirit or essence of the Buddha card. For example, I used to sell an evil card, and the male spirit in it was kidnapped by gangsters and starved to death. Blessed by Master Azan into the amulet card, the worshipper must offer fresh fish and meat after each wish, and must not forget, otherwise he will be unlucky. Your tree spirit card, is the original Azan Hanlai in the wild sense of it, want to bless into the Buddha card, but the tree spirit refuses, and finally Azan Hanlai full blessing 50 days to succeed, the tree spirit also reached the 50-day agreement with Master Azan Hanlai, after the expiration of the Buddha card to return to Azan Hanlai, let him re-bless. ”
This really gave me a lot of insight and at the same time felt ridiculous. Before hanging up the phone, Kaohsiung taught me two more lessons, one on how to increase the price, and the other on how to answer when customers asked about the effect, but each class cost 500 baht, less than half a cent.
"Boss Gao, you are really asking for a price, I don't know the content of the course, so I have to promise to give money, what if you lie to me?" I couldn't laugh or cry.
Kaohsiung snorted: "Do you know what Li Ka-shing said? He said that the most time-wasting thing in the world is to teach young people to learn from experience! How many people want to learn how to sell Buddhist cards with me, and it depends on whether I am in the mood or not! I'm wasting my time trying to lie to you. "I was obviously angry when I heard this, I thought to myself that each class is worth 100 yuan, if it really works, then there will be more opportunities to use it in the future, so I agreed.
As he spoke, I quickly recorded what Kaohsiung said with my mobile phone in my hand. Hanging up the phone, I think the money is worth all the knowledge that I don't have in school. After thinking about it, I still forwarded the tree spirit Buddha card to Boss Song with the picture and text, and the text only changed the price from 1,200 yuan to 2,000 yuan. This is the method of price increase taught to me in Kaohsiung, for ordinary customers, even if it is cheaper, the profit cannot be less than two hundred yuan. If it is more than 1,000 yuan, or casts spells, he is used to increasing the price by five to eighty percent, depending on the other party's ability to bear. If you meet a particularly rich customer and you just need it, don't be afraid to scare the other party away, and you must increase the price to death. As long as the other party does not hang up immediately, it means that there is hope.
Lying on the bed, looking at the picture of the Buddha card in the mobile phone of "POR NAN TUAN STEALING MONEY AND PIE HOT" in the mobile phone, how to look at it and feel awkward, especially the light gray bone fragment on the back, it is hard to imagine that I am actually selling this kind of thing. If it were to be said, it would be estimated that eight and a half out of ten people would be disgusted, and the timid girl would have to be frightened. If my parents knew, they wouldn't have scolded me to the death?
At the same time, I wonder if these things are simply fake and used as gimmicks. People are afraid, even if they are not afraid of ghosts and gods, they will be afraid of human corpses and other things, which is nature. Those brand dealers in Kaohsiung are also made of meat, and if you don't believe them, you're not afraid. Thinking about it this way, I also had doubts about the fact that I watched Azan shoot the fire and roast the baby's corpse that night outside Bangkok, and I felt that there could be no such inhuman Dharma practitioner in the world. If you put your hand in the fire, you've probably been smeared with waterproof oil or something. But I remembered the Buddha card that the tour guide Xiaomei gave me before, and those hallucinations are still fresh in my memory, and they are definitely not fake. After analyzing, I thought that maybe the amulet was coated with some kind of potion that could hallucinate and make people sick, so I had nightmares and got sick.
Thinking of this, I suddenly lost interest in selling Buddhist cards. Isn't this just a deception? Hallucinogenic and making people sick are easy to do, but what are the effects of attracting wealth, transporting, and increasing popularity, it is obviously not enough to rely on potions alone, and there will be no effect when the time comes, how can this business be carried out? Classmate Ma avoided the chandelier that time, and it is likely that it was just a coincidence.
The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became, I was thinking about it here, and before I knew it, it was half past ten in the evening, and Boss Song called me: "Brother, my daughter-in-law just fell asleep, so I can call you back, didn't you sleep?" I said no, and casually asked him if he won the lottery at night.
Boss Song sighed: "It's just one number, it's just one fucking number!" I originally wrote that number on paper, and I didn't know what to think when I was about to make a ticket, so I actually changed it." "I think you say that every time.
