Chapter 34: The Return of the Buddha
At Xinzhou International Airport, Qi Yan, Li Ruoke, and Li Lan were each waiting for the plane with two small suitcases.
This time, they are going to Bangkok together because they ...... "buy".
"Isn't it okay for you to go over with Li Lan? All three of us are going abroad, who will take care of them in the store? Even though the boarding pass has been changed and the customs have been passed, Qi Yan still seems a little restless.
Li Ruoke stared at the phone screen and smiled, "What?" Do you still have lingering feelings about Thailand? Haven't they all accepted their cards? ”
Qi Yan is indeed a little shadow of that place, after all, it is the beginning of everything, the place where he first witnessed the existence of supernatural things, even if he is now immune, but he still has no good impression, but Rao is mouth is still quite hard, "I just think it's just a purchase, the three of them are all out a bit of a waste of money, and they finally made some money, and they spent it all on the trip." ”
Although Wang Yudong and Shi Xiaoxue died "accidentally" before, and Cheng Ziyue was also seriously injured, they all made orders and transferred money on the spot, but the transaction still had to be completed.
It is indeed a considerable amount of money, plus when Li Lan returned to China last time, the batch of goods brought back was unfortunately confiscated by those people surnamed Zhao, and now there is a shortage of warehouses, and Li Ruoke must personally go to Thailand to replenish the goods.
"We're not here for tourism, taking a cheap flight and staying at a friend's house in Bangkok is certainly not more expensive than when you go. Besides... The reason why I want to take you with me this time is that in addition to getting acquainted with all the Azan masters, I also want to ask them all to help take a look at your unknown yin card, they are the real most professional people, maybe there will be any clues? ”
Li Ruoke means that he wants to take Qi Yan, a new partner, to meet the major "suppliers", and by the way, he also has an in-depth understanding of the purchase channels of some Thai goods, so that he can operate independently in the future.
But Qi Yan was a little flattered, raised his eyebrows and teased, "Lao Li... Hiss~~~ I guess you're a little interesting to me? Otherwise, you love to think about everything for me, and we don't have a deep foundation of friendship. ”
This has to be changed to other girls, and he will definitely be shy or scolded by him so blatantly, but Coco Woman is not the kind of ordinary girl who is delicate, in the face of Qi Yan's joke, she naturally returned a sinister smile "Yes!" The old lady has taken a fancy to you, and she will go to bed tonight! ”
This is called a robber meeting a horse, to see who is domineering.
Sure enough, Qi Yan wilted all of a sudden, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I'm joking, I'll talk about it casually, just listen to it, don't take it seriously!" ”
I really met an opponent, why didn't this Nizi play cards according to the routine, and let a thick-skinned person like Qi Yan be defeated...
Fortunately, Li Lan brought three cups of milk caps at this time to ease the embarrassing atmosphere: "The things on the plane are unpalatable, let's drink this fat in the stomach first." ”
Their flight time is two o'clock in the afternoon, as Li Ruoke said, it is really a cheap flight, such a small and old plane......
After boarding the plane, Qi Yan and Li Lan filled out the entry form, and Li Ruoke explained, "We will go back and forth for five days this time, and we will all stay at my friend's house, she is a tour guide, and she is a girl, you two don't run around, you must know that we are here for work and business." ”
Qi Yan pouted and said, "What is there to run around?" Isn't it Thailand? I was there a while ago, and it's just like that, and I'm dehydrated from the heat..."
Li Ruoke smiled, "At first glance, you are a fun-loving person, I am afraid that you will take Xiaolan badly, and warn you to go to the bar street less." There are a lot of places to go this time, so I have to go to Azan to order a few customers' natal blessing tubes, and then ......"
Thai monks are called "Azan", which means master, teacher or husband, and Azan, who can make amulets such as Buddhist medals, is a monk, but it does not necessarily have to be a yellow-robed monk with a shaved head, or it may be an ordinary person, so the Buddhist card does not have to go to the temple to ask for it, as long as you know a certain enlightened Azan, then you can also invite him to his home.
The degree of preciousness and efficacy of a Buddhist plaque is closely related to the Azan who made it.
Some Azan monks at the Longpu level make amulets in batches have no price, and when they ask for amulets, the accompanying certificate usually clearly indicates the name of the amulet maker, that is, the name of the Azan.
Like Dong Ye and Xu Dan did last time, it is not rigorous to only care about the Dharma appearance of the Buddha card, and it is correct that each method corresponds to different effects, but you also have to pay attention to which master made it.
To put it simply, if a highly respected monk and an ordinary master make a Buddha card with the same Dharma, can the effect and value be the same?
Even Qi Yan fell into a misunderstanding at the beginning, for example, the same Chongdi Buddha was also invited in one place, why is the price difference between the two cards so huge?
Of course, the identity level of the maker is different, which is a big difference in determining the price of the Buddha card.
Some of the amulets are like works of art by painters, and the person who made them, Azan has passed away, so he can't continue to make new cards, so this time the amulets made by Azan become a limited edition, and the price is naturally not comparable to other cards.
So instead of focusing on whether the Buddha card is real or fake, it is better to pay attention directly to whether the Azan who made this card is a real monk or a charlatan...
As for the "talisman tube" that Li Ruoke said, it is another kind of talisman, a metal tube the size of a finger, which is filled with scriptures, incantations, runes, medicinal powders, etc., which are depicted with special magic medicines, and then tightly sealed and made into a hanging chain to carry closely.
The effect is nothing more than luck, promotion, evil spirit, and so on......
The privately customized natal talisman tube also adds the eight-character mark of the devotee's birthday, which is more appropriate.
Some amulets will also bury a relatively small talisman in the card, which complements each other and has a more effective effect.
But no matter what kind of effect of the Buddha card is worn, it is good for fortune, good luck, or peach blossoms...... It's not that you don't have to do anything if you bring it with you, waiting for the Buddha card to appear to help you realize your wishes, this is unrealistic, you need the worshipper to uphold good thoughts, do good deeds, and face your career, family and interpersonal relationships with a kind attitude, the Buddha card just plays a role in fueling the fire, secretly pushing you when you go uphill.
But Qi Yan also once asked Li Ruoke, why when the two of them encountered ghosts, the Buddhist cards on Li Ruoke's body didn't exert any significant magical powers?
Li Ruoke's answer was "Nonsense! If all the cards could be as good as yours, wouldn't the world be messed up? Besides, where is it ineffective? At least after the three of us have experienced these dangers, haven't we all survived safely without danger? The real genuine card should be quietly blessed in the dark, is it really useful to summon the true body of the Buddha to slap the evil ghost to death with one palm? ”
Qi Yan "......" was speechless.
This is the difference between the minds of people with faith and those without faith.
