Chapter 25: The Woman in Green

Looking at the introductory mantra, Boss Song asked what it meant, and I told him that it was called a heart mantra, which was provided by a Thai master, and it was the same method he used to bless this Buddhist card. You recite it three times at midnight, which is equivalent to a password or password, and it is also an important step in the contract between a person and the yin spirit or spirit in the Buddha card.

"That's the case...... Boss Song was a little embarrassed, "The mantra is easy to do, anyway, my wife works the night shift, and there is no one else at home at midnight." But this offering is troublesome, and he is afraid that he will see it at home, and it is not safe to talk about it. I thought about it and asked him if there were any corners, cabinets, drawers, etc., that his wife rarely noticed.

Boss Song looked at an old metal filing cabinet in the corner of the bar: "These are all scratch-off recharge cards and receipts, which are kept for reconciliation, my wife usually doesn't turn them over at all, and they can be locked." ”

I said, "That's the best, when you close the shop at night, put the amulets and offerings in the temple, and put them back on during the day." Boss Song nodded again and again, saying that he would go buy offerings in a while, close the shop later today, and wait until midnight to recite the incantation before leaving.

In addition to the mantra, the taboos and rules of worship were also written on the note. The taboo is relatively simple, that is, you can't do that with a woman when you wear it, and you can't wear it below the waist. When placing it, it should not be placed in a dirty or unclean place, such as the bathroom, not at the foot of the bed, nor can it be thrown anywhere or even on the ground, and try not to be in the same room with Mahayana Buddhism such as Guanyin statues, Bodhisattva statues and Buddha shrines.

"It's all easy to do, but it's a bit of nonsense to break the rules of fifty days. Boss Song snorted. I said that since you have agreed, you will do what they want, so as not to cause trouble. Before leaving, I told Boss Song with a weak heart that the effect of the Buddha card varies from person to person, and you can't feel that it is fake because there is no effect in a short period of time, and your heart must be sincere. I mean, leave yourself a step down, if it really doesn't work, Boss Song may be able to observe for a while longer, anyway, he spends a lot of money on the lottery, maybe he doesn't take these two thousand seriously at all.

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and I didn't even eat well at night. The next day, before I got up, Boss Song's phone called, I thought to myself that you are too anxious, don't you only draw the lottery every night, and ask the effect so early? Boss Song said: "Brother, I had a high fever last night." ”

"Then go to the hospital. I replied casually, thinking that you should tell your wife about this, not me.

Boss Song explained: "I didn't have a cold, I recited that mantra at midnight last night according to the way you said, and then fell asleep, guess what? I really dreamed of a beautiful girl in green clothes, saying that if I am good to her, she will be good to me." I said it several times and I woke up. His body was covered in cold sweat, and his head was quite hot. I thought I'd go to the hospital when it wasn't dawn, but the next day I woke up and nothing happened. Boss Tian, do you say it has anything to do with the Buddha card?"

Originally, I was not interested in his dreams at all, but when I heard the phrase "beautiful girls in green", I suddenly thought of women's banana essence, does it have anything to do with this? But I think this kind of thing is too ridiculous from my heart, and if it is still a dream, it is really "Journey to the West", so I denied it and said that it doesn't matter, at most you think about it day and night.

I asked him if he had all the offerings, and asked him to take a picture and send it to me. Boss Song sent an MMS message, it was the old metal roll cabinet of his words, with a Buddha card in the middle drawer, surrounded by two small bottles of perfume, a lipstick, two hairpins, and it seemed that there was nail polish. I think it's funny, a man like Boss Song may not have bought these things for his wife, but in order to attract wealth, he actually made such a complete offering to the Buddha card.

This is the first Buddha card I sold in cooperation with Kaohsiung, and the dozen or so pieces that I used to press can't be counted, it's just that he handed over the backlog of cheap goods to me for many years, and I didn't expect to make money at all. Although I made 800 yuan, I couldn't be happy because I didn't know if it had any effect. Don't worry about selling those genuine brands before, customers don't have such a strong appeal, just buy for psychological comfort, even if it doesn't work, they won't look for me. But Boss Song is different, he urgently needs to be transferred, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid it won't be over.

Two days have passed, Boss Song will call me every night, the content is basically the same: tonight's lottery did not win, because of the Buddha card, he began to increase the intensity of betting, used to spend hundreds to two thousand a day, and now every day to play nearly three thousand yuan. I was very worried in my heart, and persuaded him to bet less, even if the Buddha card was effective, it was not so fast, and I couldn't bet on it.

Boss Song quit: "Brother, I spent 2,000 to buy back a small bundle of branches, but it wasn't for bonsai to enjoy and play." What's the use if it doesn't work, or if it doesn't work until a long time later?" Although I had already greeted him before, it had only been two days, and Boss Song couldn't hold his breath. I had to persuade him to invest less money and see the effect first.

I didn't think about tea and dinner when I hung up the phone, so I called Kaohsiung and asked him how to deal with this kind of customer after selling Buddhist cards for a few years.

"It's been almost five years!" Kaohsiung replied, "I started selling this thing when many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities had never heard of Thai amulets." There are two kinds of customers, one is very familiar with the Buddha card, this kind of person will not blame you even if it has no effect, but blame yourself for having a problem; there are completely ununderstand or half-understood, for this kind of person, you must talk in advance when selling their things, no effect can not complain, if you want to be a strong wish, you have to ask for a very yin thing, otherwise don't look for me. Even if you look for them, I ignore them, remember my words, there is no after-sales service for selling Buddhist cards, understand?"

I asked, "Strangers are fine, but what if your relatives, friends, or neighbors come to you to handle the after-sales service?"

Kaohsiung sneered a few times: "I have no relatives and friends, so don't worry." "I also laughed along with him, not very happy in my heart, and secretly thought that you are not a tree spirit. Sun Wukong jumped out of the crack in the stone, there is a master and two junior brothers, how can people have no relatives and friends at all?

I didn't understand it at the time, but when I learned about Kaohsiung's life and past, I gradually understood what he said.

In the past few days, Boss Song sent a text message saying that now he only calls 200 yuan a night, and he will not change his number temporarily, but he still hasn't hit. I don't bother to reply, and sometimes I pretend I can't see it. At nine o'clock that night, Boss Song called again, and as soon as I saw his number, my head was big, so I had to connect.

Boss Song's voice sounded a little excited: "Brother, I only hit a hundred yuan tonight, and I thought that if I didn't win anyway, I would double it indiscriminately, a total of five numbers and ten times, and guess what? One of the numbers actually won!"
