chapter

"The boss of Ravan seems to be going to make a fortune. Kaohsiung laughed. The Thai dealer said that you are not the same, and asked me if I was your assistant. Kaohsiung patted me on the shoulder and said of course it is, otherwise there is only one piece of Lelai. Saying that, Kaohsiung suddenly covered his stomach and said that he wanted to go to the toilet, turned around and left, I hurriedly followed, and the Thai brand dealer beckoned to say goodbye to me, and went out of the temple by himself. I knew in my heart that Kaohsiung definitely didn't have a stomachache, because he had whispered to the young monk just now, and the other party didn't look like he hadn't heard it. The two of us entered the side room of the temple one after the other, and Takao sat on the mat, took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked leisurely. Within a few minutes, the young monk who had been instructed by Kaohsiung just now came in from the small door, looked left and right to see if there was anyone, came to Kaohsiung's side, took out a small cloth bag from his inner arms and handed it to Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung took out another stack of money and handed it to the young monk: "Remember to keep it secret." The young monk nodded and said his name, and Kaohsiung smiled and nodded. Only then did we actually leave the temple and walk to the train station to leave. In the car, Kaohsiung told me that the young monk had been bought two years earlier, that he was the first apprentice of the abbot Luang Po, and that he had some power. The two sides reached an agreement that if the abbot master got Lelai from the mountains one day, the young monk would have to keep an extra piece for Kaohsiung.

"Bought it two years ago?" I asked, "How do you know that there will be Lelai in the mountains around here?" Kaohsiung said that I don't know how to tell fortunes, where do I know, it's just a prediction. I asked him how many such temples he had arranged, and Kaohsiung thought about it and said that there are about twenty or thirty temples in Thailand.

I was surprised: "So how much do you have to pay in total?" Kaohsiung said about 70,000 baht. I said that's 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, can you earn it back? Just two small ores.

Kaohsiung snorted twice: "Short-sighted! This is the real Lelai, each piece can be made into a Buddhist card independently, and it can be blessed with Buddhism at will, and the minimum shipping price will not be less than 150,000 baht, of course, each piece will also pay 25,000 baht to the temple." "I calculated the account and said that two Lelai is 10,000 yuan, plus all the buy fees, a total of nearly 30,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 15,000 yuan each, the shipping price is 30,000 yuan, and the two pieces make a net profit of 30,000 yuan, which is not bad.

"Don't forget," Kaohsiung added, "I have arranged for nearly 30 temples in Thailand, all of which are deep in the mountains nearby and the abbots in the temples are very high, which means that as long as there is a Lelai in Thailand, I can basically know it quickly." I suddenly thought that it was right, and I couldn't help but admire Kaohsiung's vision, and at the same time, I was more interested in this kind of black hard lump called Lelai, so I hurriedly asked him to take it out and take a look.

But Kaohsiung shook his head, saying that for safety reasons, he could only watch it when he got home. It takes most of the day to take the train, and the journey is boring, so I asked Kaohsiung to tell me about the origin of Lelai.

He told me that there are many Chinese names for this thing, such as Leklai, Leklai, Lini, Lilai, Leklai, Leklai, etc., but they are all transliterations of the Thai Leklai, and together with "Yamani" and "Binata", they are collectively known as the three sacred ores in Southeast Asia. They are all naturally formed, including Lelai, and no one knows exactly what the material is, and when used for scientific testing, they are just ordinary ores with magnetism and more than a dozen minutes of metal. But all of them have the effect of safety, transit, and health, but the most powerful is Lez, and at the same time, it is the rarest that there are the most counterfeits.

Le Lai is only found deep in the mountains, surrounded by animals such as tigers and pythons, just as in the jungles of South America, where natural, large rubies or sapphires are surrounded by venomous snakes. These rare gems seem to have strange powers that attract aggressive animals to protect them. Every time Lelai is about to appear in the cave, those high-ranking monks in the nearby temples, Master Luang Po, will have a sense. They can sense a certain force in their dreams and can clearly discern directions. If that direction is deep in the mountains, it is almost certain that Lez is going to appear.

"Usually it is very troublesome and even risky to find Lelai," Kaohsiung sipped, "Many people go to the mountains in groups to look around, there is no specific location, and it is all up to Master Long Po to sense." Sometimes although the masters get inspiration in their dreams, they search the whole mountain to no avail, after all, the mountains are very large, and some places are also inaccessible to people, too far to be sensed, so they often run in vain. ”

I asked, "Then how did you find it this time?" Kaohsiung said that he didn't ask specifically, but the young monk called him before, saying that the master had just returned from the mountains, and that he had found and successfully brought Lelai back, and asked me to go there immediately.

Kaohsiung said: "The monk said that they were very lucky, five monks plus four villagers hired from the village as guides, searched in the mountains for seven or eight days, and on the last day they sensed the nearby magnetic field, and the abbot finally found a certain cave, and the villagers all had shotguns in their hands, knowing that there must be wild beasts in the cave, because they were guarding Lelai." The two abbots sat at the door of the cave and began to chant mantras, for two consecutive days and two nights, and at noon on the third day, two pythons burst out of the cave, not very large, but also three meters long. At that time, everyone was a little relaxed, and by the time the villagers and monks reacted, the two snakes had already come to the abbot's side.

But the miraculous thing is that the two pythons seemed to know that this was the highly cultivated master of Long Po, so they didn't attack, but quickly fled into the woods and never came out again. Under the leadership of Master Luang Po, everyone entered the cave, and in the innermost part of the cave, they saw that there were many crystal things in the shale at the top of the cave, like a viscous liquid that would glow and was about to flow down.

The two Luang Po masters sat in the cave and continued to bless, chanting mantras for a long time, and those viscous liquids slowly fell to the ground and quickly solidified into solids. Master Luang Po personally picked them out one by one with his hands and brought them back to the temple.

"Is it really so amazing?" I couldn't help asking, Kaohsiung said that there was anything suspicious about this, I personally went to the mountains with a few people a few years ago to look for it, and I also met a tiger, that Master Long Po is the abbot of XXX Temple in Kongwen Mansion, and he can use a spell to make the wild tiger in the deep mountains lie in front of him for a few minutes, and finally walk away slowly.

I really don't believe it, but I think to myself, after three years as a card trader, I have seen how many things I didn't believe in before, maybe it's true. I also asked why Master Long Po put his hand into the scripture powder, and he could turn a small piece of Lelai into a large piece, Kaohsiung glared at me: "Lao Tzu's eyes are not X-ray machines, how do you know!" I said with a smile, isn't your boss Gao an expert in Thai Buddhist cards, how can you not know something.
