Chapter 102: Ghost Quest
Holding the two ends of the copper tube in each hand, Long Popa put his pointed mouth on the position of the five meridians on the skin of the eyebrow card, first lightly clicked a few times, and then became harder and harder, and the speed became faster and faster. He was also chanting mantras, and Xinla and her father were holding her arms to the left and right, and Meika hung her head and gritted her teeth, her expression a little pained. As the speed of the stabbing increased, the expression of the eyebrow card became more and more uncomfortable, and I saw that her forehead was oozing sweat, gradually converging into beads of sweat and dripping down, it seemed that it was really painful.
I thought that Luang Po Pa would re-tattoo the Five Sutras at the place where Azan patted the thorn, but I didn't guess correctly, he just tattooed a big symbol in that area, much like the Thai alphabet I learned in language school, but with some differences, like a fish hook. This symbol is like a black seal, the whole thing is printed on the five sutras, fortunately there is only a single line, otherwise the eyebrow card will have to suffer two more pains.
Ten minutes later, Long Po finished stabbing the talisman, his eyebrows trembled, and the floor in front of him was already covered with a lot of sweat. Luang Po Pa handed the bronze talisman to the young monk, patted Mei Ka lightly on the shoulder and said a few words, Mei Ka was speechless, just nodded. After Long Po Pa left, Kaohsiung said to Mei Ka's father: "The thorn is over, Master Long Po Pa stabbed the first letter of the first Buddha mantra on your daughter's back, which can calm the Yin Sutra, don't worry about it in the future, but try not to go out at night, and walk less at night, especially in remote places, such as the wild and cemetery at night." ”
Meika's father thanked him again and again, took out a dozen thousand-yuan baht bills and handed them to him, Kaohsiung took the money out of the side door, and came back not long after, and Meika's father drove us back to Bangkok first. On the way, he was very angry and said to me and Kaohsiung in Chinese, when the matter is resolved, I will go to Ubon Ratchathani to find the mage named Azanpai to settle the score, why did I tattoo my daughter with such a feminine thing.
"Don't bother!" Kaohsiung said, "Actually, it's not about Azan's shooting, I am also familiar with him, and he often blesses Yin and Yin cards, and his mana is good." If you want to blame you, you can only blame the two friends of Meika, it is they who found the card dealer and pierced the yin charm in Azan Pai, and the three of them are the culprit. The father of Meika turned his head sideways and asked his daughter sternly, probably asking what kind of friends you have made. Ka didn't dare to answer, Xinla hurriedly dissuaded, although I didn't understand, but probably those words, so that Meika would be more distinguishable when making friends in the future.
In addition, Kaohsiung told Meika's father that ghost begging for people cannot be solved by himself, and the monk Luang Po will not run errands to do these things with customers, so he can only find Master Azan to do it. The more suitable one is Azan Tukhun, but he lives in Songkhla, a little far away, or finds Azan Khamla in Phetchaburi for about 150,000 baht.
Meika's father thought for a moment: "As long as it can be solved smoothly and completely, I can pay for it." ”
Kaohsiung got off the bus first in Bangkok, and he went to find Azan Kangla. Phetchaburi and Chonburi are two roads, one east and one west. Because Kaohsiung didn't know the way, he asked Xinla to be his guide. In this way, Meika's father took me and me back to Chonburi first, and after dinner, he still arranged for us to have a few dormitories on the top floor of the factory. Due to the large number of workers and the dormitory, sometimes the flow of people will vacate the room, so there is no shortage of places to live, but the conditions are very ordinary, and the bathroom is shared.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Kaohsiung and Xinla also arrived, and there was also a master Azan, who was tall, with short and curly hair, bright eyes, wearing a sleeveless white shirt, black pants, and most notably two mantra-like symbols tattooed on each cheek, which was very eye-catching. After understanding the situation, Kaohsiung told us that this person is called Azan Kangla, and around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when the yin qi is at its peak, and Master Azan Kangla will cast a spell at that time, and let Meika lead us to find those yin spirits.
"How did Meika take us to find it?" his father asked puzzled, and Kaohsiung said that he would know when the time came.
At night, when he went to bed, he let Meika lie down on the bed and sleep peacefully, while he sat on the floor in the middle of the room, holding in his hand a string of light yellow beads that he had worn around his neck, and closed his eyes and said nothing. Meika's father, Kaohsiung, and I lay down next door in peace, while Shinla slept in another room. At about twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Kaohsiung woke us up, and saw that the door of Meika's room was not closed, and by the moonlight outside the window, I saw her lying on the bed, her body writhing back and forth, panting, her face was full of cold sweat, she seemed to be very uncomfortable, but she didn't wake up. Azan Khama was still in the same position as he was sleeping, barely moving, except for the string of beads clutched tightly in his hand.
Xinla asked in a low voice, "Do you want to wake her up?" Kaohsiung shook his head and motioned for us to wait. A few minutes later, he suddenly saw Azan Kangla open his eyes, stand up and slowly walk out of the room. The three of us quickly dodged and watched as Azan Kangla walked down the hallway to the staircase. Then the eyebrows stopped moving, and he slowly sat up, covering his forehead with his hands.
"I'm having nightmares again......" Meika said. Only then did we know that she was not sleepwalking, and Xinla hurriedly went over to help her. Kaohsiung asked Meika's father to find a shovel and followed Azan Kangla closely, and a group of five people followed Azan Kangla out of the factory building, the night was dark and silent, this rice processing factory was built on the side of the road, and the back was full of dense woods. Azan Kangla pinched the string of beads in both hands and straightened it, turning from side to side, as if looking for directions. Finally, he pointed to the left side of the woods, said a word, and walked straight over.
Kaohsiung said: "The Yin Spirit is in that direction. "We followed into the woods, and within a few hundred meters, Azan Kangla pointed to a certain place on the ground and said to us the word "dig", which Xinla had taught me at the language school, and it was then that I understood why Kaohsiung had asked Meika's father to bring a shovel. Since Azan Kangla spoke, although Meika's father did not understand, he hurriedly picked up the shovel and dug. I dug an area about half a meter deep and the size of a refrigerator, and he was already too tired, so I took the shovel instead of him, and dug for another twenty minutes, the tip of the shovel touched a hard object, Kaohsiung and Xinla shone it with a flashlight, judging by the few taps I used the shovel, it was a wooden board, and the color should be a coffin.
Sure enough, I switched shifts with Meika's father and dug up an adult's coffin. I don't know how many years ago, some parts of the coffin board have begun to decay. Azan Kangla gestured for us to open the lid of the coffin, and I thought to myself, why is this kind of work again?
He pried the lid of the coffin open with the tip of a shovel, and then pushed it to the side, and under the beam of light, he saw that there was a corpse inside, the clothes on his body were tattered, and he couldn't tell what it was because it seemed to be a funeral object. Azan Kangla descended into the pit, holding the edge of the coffin with one hand and the pale yellow string of beads with the other, so that the end of the string hung over the forehead of the corpse's skull. After reciting the mantra for about ten minutes, Azan Kangla turned his head and said something to Kaohsiung.
