Xiao Fan smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I have to delay your personal time, I have a friend who works in Linghui Pavilion, and he has encountered some troubles for four or five years, and he wants to ask the Buddha card to keep him safe and ward off evil spirits, but he doesn't understand the Thai Buddha card, and Mei Ying is not as professional as you, so I hope that when he goes to the Buddha shop, you can help him come up with ideas." ”

I smiled: "Isn't this kind of thing so simple, and you still need to invite me to dinner?" Just a phone call away! "Xiaofan said that this is the first time she has asked me to do something, of course, it must be formal. And this friend has a good relationship with her, so I want to be more formal. I said no problem. All he had to do was call me before he came and make sure I was in the store. Xiaofan copied her private mobile phone number to me for easy contact in the future.

Actually, I always feel that Xiaofan and Master Chen are also a good match. Xiaofan is young and beautiful, has a good figure, has a strong ability to deal with people, and has a kind heart. Wholeheartedly to Master Chen. Of course, this is unlikely, Master Chen is rich and famous, and it is unlikely that he will look down on an ordinary girl like Xiaofan.

At noon that day, I received a call from Xiaofan. Asked if she was in the store in the afternoon, her friend could take half a day off. I said no problem, let him come over anytime.

Two hours later, a man in his thirties came to the shop. Ask who is Tian Qi's advisor. During the conversation, I learned that he was Xiao Fan's friend, surnamed Liang ▲ in the rest area, I asked him what he needed, Mr. Liang said: "Xiao Fan may have already told you, I work in the Linghui Pavilion in Chai Wan, because the nature of the work is very special, so I hope there can be something that can play a role in warding off evil spirits and keeping peace." My colleagues have them, like Guanyin, Zhong Kui, and Lightning Zaomu, and some of them wear Thai Buddhist cards. I heard Xiaofan say before, she said that Master Chen opened a Buddhist brand shop, and there was a Mr. Tian, who specialized in selling Buddhist cards in Thailand, as a consultant, so she persuaded me to go to the store to have a look. ”

"What is special about the nature of the work?" I don't get it.

Mr. Leung smiled: "It seems that you are not very familiar with Hong Kong, of course, there are not many people who know about that kind of place." I was even more puzzled, and after Mr. Liang introduced me, I realized that what he was talking about was "Linghui Pavilion", which was used to store ashes, not "Linghui Pavilion" as I thought, and I thought it was the name of a certain company. There is a cemetery in Chai Wan. Hong Kong people are accustomed to call it "Cemetery Hill", and it is also one of the earliest cemeteries in Hong Kong, where the dead are buried in the past forty or fifty years.

I asked, "That is, you are a staff member of the cemetery?" Mr. Liang nodded. I can probably understand that kind of place is very yin, and the staff must be scared, so I asked him if there had been any supernatural incidents.

Mr. Liang said: "That's not true, but sometimes some things are really difficult for people to explain. For example, there will be strange noises in the office on duty at night, I often see unknown figures when patrolling the cemetery in the middle of the night, and sometimes food will be lost. But these things can happen anywhere, but people still think about it. After all, it's a special place, so ......."

I hurriedly said: "I understand, if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it, but when you work in that kind of place, there is still a lot of faith." So if you want to get something that can ward off evil spirits and suppress evil, you can wear it, even if you want peace of mind. Mr. Liang hurriedly patted his thigh and said that it was not wrong at all.

took Mr. Liang to turn around in front of the counter several times, and also showed him a lot of things, such as Chongdi, Fu Guan, Soul Yong, Ghost King Head, Thunder Splitting Buffalo Horn, Mask Buddha and other things. These are all genuine or white-clothed Azan positive and yin cards, and they also have the effect of warding off evil spirits, and the price ranges from 4,000 to 8,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After watching it for a long time, Mr. Liang finally said: "I don't understand these either, you can help me get an idea, I believe in Xiaofan, and I believe in you, about 5,000 Hong Kong dollars." I thought to myself. The place in the cemetery is a place of extreme yin, so I recommended to him the ghost king's head Buddha tablet of a large temple in Chiang Rai.

This ghost king refers to one of the four major yakshatras in Theravada Buddhism, the ghost king of "He Shen Su Yun", who is vicious in appearance, but like Zhong Kui, he specializes in killing evil ghosts. Many large temples have this type of Buddha card, and of course, the production and blessing are made with the orthodox Dharma. For example, raw materials such as scripture powder, temple soil, and pollen, which have been recited hundreds or thousands of times, have a very good effect on warding off evil spirits.

"The price is 5,500 Hong Kong dollars. It is guaranteed to be made and blessed by the Luang Po monk of the northern temple of Taibei, you can try it. I said. Mr. Liang nodded again and again, looked at the Buddhist card, and finally took out the banknote and handed it to me, and I hurriedly asked Meiying to enter the account and issue the bill.

Walking out of the store with the Buddhist card, I sent him out, and Mr. Liang sighed: "I don't know if it will work, if it can, it will not be in vain for me to spend more than 5,000 yuan." ”

Seeing his expression and language, I think Mr. Liang does not seem to be trying to ward off evil spirits and prevent trouble, but for another reason. Just ask, "When you were working in the cemetery, did you encounter a lot of supernatural events?" Mr. Liang pointed to the cold drink shop diagonally opposite. If it's convenient for me, you can go sit down and have a good chat with me. At the cold drink shop, Mr. Liang told me about him.

It turned out that he was Xiaofan's sister's boyfriend, and a few years ago he came to work at the Chai Wan permanent cemetery in the south of Hong Kong Island through a recruitment revelation.

Hong Kong is a small place. The economy is highly developed, the population is large, and it is already overcrowded. But people always have to die, and there must always be a place to store the ashes after death. This columbarium in Chai Wan is relatively old, with more than 100,000 ashes and tombstones. The tombstones outside are all standing on the hillside, so they are called cemetery hills, and the ashes are placed in the cement columbarium. Although these buildings and ornaments are fixed. But it still needs a lot of staff to maintain. Things like cleaning, putting things in order, repairing facilities, and selling supplies are all necessary. Mr. Leung's job is to be responsible for the sanitation of the cemetery hill.

His family conditions are ordinary, he doesn't have much money, and he lives in an old-style apartment in Sham Shui Po, but Mr. Liang is relatively bold and has not believed in ghosts and gods since he was a child, so he was very advantageous when he applied for a job in the Gray Pavilion more than four years ago, after all, bold people will not bring trouble to work.

This job is actually very simple, it can be done by one person, as long as you have hands and feet, and your limbs are sound. But after all, it is a cemetery, and Chinese, especially Hong Kong people, are more superstitious and taboo these unlucky things, so the salary of working here is very high. At least it is a lot higher than the average wage in Hong Kong.

Mr. Liang's daily work consists of only two things, one is to regularly check and clean up the garbage and dirt in the cemetery mountain every day, and the other is to be on night duty in the duty room ten days a month to watch the screen monitor to prevent thieves and suspicious people. Not only inside the Ash Pavilion, but also outside the cemetery mountain, there are surveillance cameras, and they are infrared, so you can see more clearly at night. In the early days of Mr. Leung's work here, he didn't encounter anything strange.

The office for night duty is small, with a computer inside, and the screen rotates between the contents of the nine cameras installed outside the cemetery mountain. It's a boring job, and anyone who is new to this job will be nervous when they're on the computer at night. Because you are subconsciously afraid that something will appear in the camera of the cemetery at night, you must be scared to death. But after a long time, I got used to it, and there was nothing imaginary that would appear on the picture at all, and the images were basically fixed, from night to day, it was the same as freeze frame.

The cemetery hill is divided into several large areas, each with an office and two staff on duty for the vigil. Mr. Leung often worked with a colleague named Ah Wen, and when they were on duty, he would lock the office door in the evening, and then pick up a broom and walk along the aisle of the cemetery hill to check for debris everywhere.

This Arwen is not only timid, but also very afraid of ghosts and gods, if it weren't for the fact that his family was very poor, he would not have come to work in the cemetery mountain. Before each sweep, Arwen would burn a piece of rune paper, saying that it was used to inform the Yin Spirits of the cemetery that they were going to clean the tomb, so as not to surprise the deceased by the sudden appearance.

When walking through the long tombstone, Ah Wen also had to salute each tombstone, and there were hundreds or thousands of tombstones in one tombstone, and Mr. Liang felt very annoyed when he saw Ah Wen taking the trouble to salute one by one, and often laughed at him. But Ah Wen stubbornly did it every time, which made Mr. Liang very unhappy because it would delay time.
