Chapter 486: Black-robed Azan
I didn't know at the time that both Grandpa and the Ghost were hinting in the most gentle way that something terrible was going to happen to me. They all wanted to let me know I was in danger without affecting me.
But I didn't realize it.
There was a lot of rain in Beijing that year, just like the rainy season in the south, when a large dark cloud suddenly surged from the edge of the blue sky, and it began to rain when people were unprepared. There is still a difference between the rain in Beijing and the rain in the south, after the rain in the south, the eyes are bright, and everything you see is brand new, as if it has just been wiped with a moist rag. And after the rain in Beijing, there are visible bits and pieces of mud and dust everywhere. Because the air quality is not good, the air is full of dust, and the rain carries the dust to the ground as it falls.
It was about mid-April, and I set off from my place at 8 o'clock, and when I saw that there was no rain outside, I didn't have an umbrella. When I got to my destination and was about to get out of the subway, I noticed that it was already raining outside.
When I was a child, my mother would see me coming back from the rain, and she would spoon a bowl of cold water from the water tank and tell me to drink it, saying that it would not catch a cold.
However, tap water in the city is not drinkable.
I was running to work in the rain and had just sat down when I got a phone call.
The phone shows that it is an unfamiliar call.
Normally, I don't answer calls from strangers. If they were really looking for me, the stranger should have sent me a text message to let me know who the other person was.
But that time I took it.
The other party was a woman, who claimed to have been recommended to her by a friend of mine.
What do I recommend, I ask?
The other party said, I heard that you have experienced many incredible things, and some weird stories are serialized on the Internet, so I hope you can help us.
I was extremely reluctant to participate in the things that my grandfather used to do often, because many people didn't seem to know how to be polite, and when they came up, they had to look at palmistry, count eight characters, and ask about marriage, regardless of whether I was busy or not. I was not happy to say, I'm sorry, I just got to work and I have a lot of work to do.
The other party seemed to understand my mood very well, and hurriedly said, I don't want you to help me look at my face or exorcise ghosts or anything, I know that those things are very laborious and energy-consuming.
I asked, what are you doing with me?
The other party said that we might not be paid much for helping us write a story, but we wanted to make a short film about the story.
Before I could answer, the other party added that this is a true story and that some inexplicable things do happen in this world. Or rather, we are convinced that there are ghosts in this world.
After listening to these words, I asked curiously, is it a weird story?
The other party said, yes, real weird events.
Then she said that she was from the TV station, and it was not her who was actually looking for me, but a friend of hers. That friend now runs a small Buddha shop over Wudaokou. A while ago, the Buddhist brand shop experienced an unbelievable thing, and after her friend experienced that incident, she wanted more people to know the story, so she wanted to make this story into a micro-movie, one was to commemorate himself, and the other might let more people know about it. But making a micro-film first needs a transcript, similar to a script, so she found me through other friends.
At this point, I had no negativity in my mind, and I asked, what kind of weird things had happened to him?
I know that the amulet shop originated in Thailand and has some miraculous effects, but it is also likely to be affected by some side effects. This is the same as grandpa helping others to do things, after completing one thing, it is likely to be counterattacked.
The other party said that he couldn't tell for a while on the phone, and when you were free one day, I would invite you to dinner. When the time comes, I'll call that friend from the amulet shop to tell you. All right?
I said, okay.
After that, we left QQ for each other and agreed on QQ to meet at the Lama Temple after work the next day.
Then I looked up some information about the amulet on my computer.
It is said that wearing a Buddhist card will have magical effects, such as warding off evil spirits, blocking dangers, helping people, helping fortune, helping peach blossoms, and so on. If you want to please, you have to believe that the Buddha card has these functions, because if you believe, you have it, and if you don't believe, you don't.
The Buddha card is divided into yin cards and genuine cards. The Thai word plahkeang is a transliteration of the amulet. And this plahkeang in Thai refers to the straight card alone. And the Yin card is called Guman.
The so-called genuine card refers to the temple in Thailand, where the monk personally blesses and then sells it in exchange for funds to build Buddhist facilities such as Buddhist temples. The main representative types of cards are the Buddha cards of the Bida, Chongdi, Medicine Master, and Luang Po series. The genuine sales channel is just the temple. The general second-hand amulet market is flooded with fake cards and has low credibility.
There is no anti-phagocytosis effect, each card is designed under the guidance of the Buddha, and it is all for good purposes for the benefit of the believer. However, compared to the negative card, the power of the positive card is much smaller.
The so-called Yin card refers to the design of Azan (Azan means teacher or senior in Thai, here it means mage) and involves elements such as ghosts, demons and immortals (called Kuman in Thailand) to cast spells and make cards. These cards generally have a bad reputation. Because the original motives of the caster are not pure, they are often created for some special purpose. For example, the purpose of the design of the fox fairy brand is to attract the opposite sex. For example, the purpose of the toad brand design is to increase wealth. But because the tricks are not visible, this kind of cards are not popular in Thailand. They are afraid that what they have obtained through improper means will harm them. Most of the people who used to ask for amulets from other countries did not care about these, and hoped to obtain this kind of amulet that was taboo by the locals.
The makers of the Yin cards are also divided into two types of Azan. Black-robed Azan and white-robed Azan
The white-robed Azan has a bit of a Jigong meaning, for some money, to help people get lucky, which belongs to the nature of half immortal and half demon. Usually just one of the ordinary people. These Azan cards tend to work a lot better than the real ones. But it doesn't have the evil spirit of the black-robed mage. It is also more popular with card players.
Black-robed Azan belonged to monks or monks who had been betrayed by their faith or who had committed Buddhist vows, who were far away from the city and practiced by mountains or streams. The mana of this type of person is very strong, and the Yin cards (Guman) they make are often composed of abandoned baby corpses or animal organs, and their effectiveness is extremely powerful. And it's basically the nature of taking money to do things. Therefore, the danger of such a hand is very high.
I thought to myself, could it be that the owner of that amulet shop is the darkest amulet? Then he must be an extremely greedy person, and even if there is any backlash, it is self-inflicted.
But after we met, the owner of the amulet shop was very different from what I imagined. He is an extremely kind person, even a bit of a mother.
