After asking about the price, Mr. Y agreed and was ready to pay the deposit on the spot. I took out a piece of paper, which was a "letter of agreement" printed in advance, which stated that three months after Party B requested the Thai offering from Party A, if there is an obvious effect, the offering must be returned as it is, and if it is intentionally violated, Party A shall be compensated 100,000 yuan.

Mr. Y read the agreement. I can't help laughing, don't talk about him, in fact, I want to laugh too, this is probably a precedent among all card dealers, no one has ever seen to buy Thai Buddha cards and sign an agreement.

Fang Gang said: "This is also for your good, after all, it is a yin card, sometimes the effect is good, but the worshipper will inevitably make mistakes in the offering for a long time, and it will be very troublesome at that time." If you agree, we can make a deal immediately, and Master Azan Tengkang will immediately go back to Malaysia and start making and blessing the amulet. ”

"Okay, so be it!" Mr. Y gritted his teeth and took out 5,000 RMB from his purse and handed it to me as a deposit.

Deng Kang rebooked the plane from Hong Kong to Manila, left Hong Kong first, and gave me and Fang Gang temporary precipitation when leaving, which can support one month. Fang Gang and I also sent Mr. Y to the airport and asked him to go back to Beijing first to wait for news. Ten days later, Dengkang sent the amulet directly to Mr. Y's address in Beijing, and Mr. Y called me. Ask how to use this amulet.

I said, "He should also have a piece of paper with Hanyu Pinyin written on it, which is a mantra used to make an introduction to the Buddha card." That is, the agreement between you and the amulet, you memorize it first, and when no one is there at midnight, put the amulet in the palm of your hand and raise it above your head, and then recite the mantra three times in a row, and then you can start wearing it. When not worn, it is placed on the table and offered with wine, cigarettes, banknotes, and various household items, preferably for men, because the deceased is a man. Mr. Y understood.

The next morning, I received a text message from Mr. Y: "After reciting this mantra last night, I had chills all over my body, and when I went to sleep, I dreamed of lying in an ice cellar, and then I dreamed that I was in the stove and woke up with heat and sweat all over my body. "I said that this is a normal phenomenon, and the induction with the Yin card is like this, which means that it is starting to recognize you as the master.

A few days later, Mr. Y said that he always dreamed that a man was talking to him in his dreams and asked him what he wanted, and Mr. Y said in the dream that he wanted to be famous again and become a big singer. The man didn't answer, just fiddled with a long rope.

I said, "This man is the yin spirit who died in the amulet, he is already a ghost, and he wants to help you in his own way, and you should not forget to change the offerings frequently." Especially tobacco and alcohol. ”

After selling the amulet to Mr. Y, Fang Gang and I went to Laos to look for Azan Baden, and Tenkang returned to Malaysia. Let's put aside the story of Mr. Y for a moment.

Over the next month or so, Mr. Y's exposure in the media increased. Let's be honest. Chinese rock singers like this, who became popular in the early nineties of the last century, have not been noticed by anyone in the new century, except for Cui Jian, who still maintains a relatively high popularity, and the others are all out of breath. Occasionally, there is news, and it is all celebrities related to them, or negative reports, such as Dou Wei's news is mostly related to Faye Wong and her daughter.

Unlike Mr. Y, his news is neither a new album nor negative news, but an affair with a popular female star in the mainland. Curiously, many media outlets reported on the incident, causing Mr. Y's internet searches to skyrocket.

Seeing the change in Mr. Y, I was both happy and worried, happy that Mr. Y was starting to become famous, worried that this did not seem to bring benefits to Mr. Y, and I was afraid that Mr. Y would not buy it. Two months later, Mr. Y said in an interview with the media: "In my eyes, all the red singers in China are clowns now, 20 years ago. I don't deserve to lift my shoes. These words caused heated discussions on the Internet, and many singers criticized him, saying that he wanted to be famous and crazy.

Then Mr. Y did release a new album, and I listened to it from the Internet, and to be honest, there was nothing new. I'm afraid it won't catch fire. But what made Mr. Y famous after that was not his songs, but his actions.

On that occasion, when I opened the Internet, the headline of the news website was that Mr. Y was driving and bumping into someone on the road, and in the quarrel, Mr. Y took out a long pipe plier from the trunk, smashed the other party's car, and was arrested by the police who arrived at the police station. Later, someone broke the news that the other party turned out to be a high-ranking official in the capital, and in the end, Mr. Y lost money and was detained for ten days. I hurriedly told Fang Gang about this: "I always feel that something is wrong with Mr. Y. Red is not red, but caused a lot of trouble, do you say is not a side effect of the Yin card? ”

Fang Gang said: "The ghost knows, you let Master Chen go to him and return the amulet card." This guy doesn't seem to have the luck to become popular, and even Binling can't help him. ”

I hurriedly called Master Chen and asked the female assistant Xiaofan to tell him to inform Mr. Y to return the amulet. A few hours later, Xiao Fan replied to me that Mr. Y did not agree to return the amulet. said that the effect has not been seen yet, and I will talk about it in two months.

After that, various negative news about Mr. Y was exposed on the Internet, beating reporters, smashing cars, and scolding cleaners, and later it was his parents who reported the crime. It is said that Mr. Y often threatens the two of them with a knife at home, and also says a lot of incoherent words. I was very worried, because it was exactly the same as the man who hanged himself in the binling card.

In order not to repeat the previous tragedies, I asked Master Chen to find an excuse to invite Mr. Y to Hong Kong, saying that I wanted Master to bless the amulet again to achieve the best effect. Mr. Y was unprepared, so he came to Hong Kong, handed me the amulet, and sent it to Malaysia for blessings. Then I told him that the amulet had broken during the blessing process and had completely no effect, and I hoped that Mr. Y would wait a while and give him a replacement when he came across a better amulet.

Mr. Y was upset and accused us of being incompetent, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Master Chen is a man with a head and a face. Mr. Y didn't dare to lose his temper with him either.

After more than 20 days, under the constant urging of Mr. Y, I asked Fang to get a genuine card and send it to Mr. Y, saying that it was blessed by Master Luang Po of the most famous temple in Thailand. It wasn't fake, but it didn't have any mana. After Mr. Y wore it for a while, he said that the effect was not good, so I asked him to wear it for a long time, and it slowly became effective.

After that, it was delayed again and again, and in the end, Mr. Y didn't have time to take care of this matter, because he was drinking in a bar opened by a friend in Sanlitun, got drunk and got into a fight, and stabbed the other party with a bottle to seriously injure him, and was sentenced to half a year in prison.

This is one of the few cases in my career as a brand dealer where I have been able to get a bad card back from a customer. The turnaround battle planned for Deng Kang was not well fought, and Fang Gang and I didn't want to make any more ideas for him, and he didn't come to Hong Kong much after that.

Back in time after we had just sold the amulet to Mr. Y, Fang Gang and I went through the formalities and flew from Hong Kong to Vientiane, all the way north to this remote place called "Meng Song".

This is my first time in Laos, and the country is very poor, and in terms of economic level, it is estimated that it ranks in the bottom 20 out of more than 100 countries in the world. Mon Song should be the third-level administrative division on the map of Laos. It is equivalent to a county in China, but when I arrived here, I found that it was not as big as a township in China, and it was a village at most.

The Lao language evolved from Pali, the ancient Theravada Buddhist language, and Sanskrit in India, and Lao and Thai are almost universal, so I can understand a lot of Lao, and Fang Gang's Thai is much better than mine, which is more convenient. We finally rented a thatched hut from the locals, and then asked the locals if there were any sorcerers and gods and other people nearby, and one person pointed out to us that there was a small village at the foot of the mountain, and there seemed to be a person who practiced the Dharma, who was said to be able to heal the sick, but he had never tried it, and he had never seen it.

We followed the direction of the locals to the foot of the nearby mountain. Sure enough, there is a small village here, all of which are simple thatched huts, and most of them are Hmong. The village is extremely poor, and the houses of the villagers are almost built together with pigsty and chicken coops, but the children in the village have happy smiles on their faces and look much happier than the children in the city. After inquiring, I learned that there was a master here who practiced the Fa, named Bunon, but he didn't come out of the mountain for several days, and I heard that he was looking for the body of a mage who lived in the mountain and mutated after death.

Hearing this news, Fang Gang and I looked at each other and thought of a very familiar term: mountain spirit.
