"Amulet?!"
Chinatown, Qian Kee grocery store.After listening to Lao Qian's description, he didn't wait for Lin Jiuying to speak.A few local Chinese on the side couldn't help but exclaim: "Old Qian, you really want money and don't want to die, even accept this thing." ”The amulet, as a characteristic talisman localized in Thailand, has been widely circulated in stories and legends, but not all of them appear in a positive image.Otherwise, there would not be a branch of the 'underworld' card in the amulet.Theravada Buddhism, compared with Mahayana Buddhism, itself is very different, especially after the localization and integration of Thailand, many teachings have changed, and even the concept of Buddha cards is not only limited to traditional Buddha statues, some Buddhist monks' own appearances, and even ghosts are within the scope of their carving.Even, in recent years, with the growth of local Chinese tourists, even Buddhist cards such as fox fairies have begun to sell well.However, there is no fox species in Thailand, so the nine-tailed fox amulet can only be regarded as a special customized amulet for a specific Chinese ethnic group, and basically no one in Thailand will wear it.As Chinese people in Chinatown, they are well aware of the value of the amulet in the local area, as well as the doorways and taboos behind this thing.Therefore, in Chinatown, few people will get involved in the business related to Buddhist cards.After all, it was a business for the locals and even the monks, and Buddhism, as the local state religion of Thailand, was even more deeply rooted in the local community than voodoo in Haiti, and had spread since before the founding of the Thai people in the 13th century.After all, the faith spread by voodoo through fear is not as widespread and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as orthodox sects such as Buddhism.According to statistics, Buddhists in Thailand make up 95 percent of the country's total population.At present, there are more than 9,000 Buddhist colleges and two Buddhist universities in the country, which are dedicated to the cultivation of Sangha talents.Especially in recent years, with the development of tourism in Thailand, there are many Westerners who study Buddhism, so there are many meditation centers everywhere, and the local Buddhist culture has become more prosperous.The life of the local Thai people can be said to be centered on the temple, and the Buddhist temple is not only the root of religion, but also social and education.It is customary for a Thai man to be ordained at least once in his life before he can be considered a complete personality.It can be seen that the influence of Buddhism in Thailand is so deep that it has basically penetrated into the clothing, food, housing and transportation of every Thai person."
How do I know there's something wrong with this amulet?"
Hearing everyone's exclamations, the expression on Lao Qian's face became even more wrinkled.It's not that he hasn't done this kind of business in the past, he was good before, nothing happened, why did something go wrong this time."
Can you show me what that amulet looks like?"
Lin Jiuying didn't know much about the Buddha card in Lao Qian's mouth, but he also had some guesses in his heart.Come to think of it, the reason why Lao Qian has hit the evil in recent times should be on this Buddha card."
Wait a minute, I'll find it right away."
Hearing Lin Jiuying's words, Lao Qian immediately stopped arguing with everyone, and hurriedly came down and ran to the counter to start looking for the face-covering Buddha card he had bought before.Before, when he bought the Buddha card at a price of 6,007, he thought he had earned it, but now it seems that there is no free lunch in this world.Maybe the guy who sold the Buddha card to himself at the beginning wished that he would win the Buddha card himself.Thinking in his heart, Lao Qian had already turned out the Buddha card from the wooden box on the counter.Looking at the masked Buddha carved on the Buddha card, my heart was a little cold.The Buddha sculpture, which looked solemn before, is inexplicably gloomy in the eyes of Lao Qian at this moment.With a shudder, Lao Qian hurriedly took the Buddha card and walked upstairs."
I found it, the Buddha card is in the ......"
However, I don't know if it's because I'm in a hurry or because I'm old, and my legs and feet are not in good shape, obviously the stairs of this grocery store have been walked thousands of times, and it is a familiar road for Lao Qian, but this time my feet slipped, and the whole person stumbled and fell backwards.If you fall this time, with the age of old money, old arms and legs, it will not be as simple as a fall, and if you don't do it, it may be the same as the three in the vase."
Be careful!"
Seeing it, the old money is about to fall.Lin Jiuying, who was standing at the top of the stairs, subconsciously shouted, stretched out his foot to hook up the luggage on the side and picked it up gently, and the originally heavy luggage crossed an arc on the stairs and landed accurately at the corner.And in the next second, Lao Qian's stumbling body fell somewhere."
Huh?""
It's all right!"
The expected severe pain did not come, Lao Qian opened his closed eyes, touched his body, and found that there was an extra duffel bag behind him, and it was precisely because of its appearance that Lao Qian cushioned it, so as not to fall too badly."
You're okay, old money.""
Why are you so careless?""
That's it, if it wasn't for Lin Daochang's action just now, you would have been miserable."
reacted, attached the old money that fell on the stairs, and several Chinese who helped told the old money everything that had just happened."
I don't know why, suddenly my feet are soft and ......"
Hearing everyone's description, Lao Qian turned his head and glanced at the duffel bag under him, and a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes, but the next second his eyes fell on the Buddha card he was holding in his hand, and the happiness in his eyes quickly turned into fear."
No, it's not an accident, it's this Buddha card, it's it that made me fall!"
Hearing Lao Qian's shout, the few people who were originally helping to support on the side subconsciously withdrew their hands and took a step back.If everything Lao Qian said is true, then the Buddha card in his hand is very important, and I don't know if the action they just supported will also be targeted by this Buddha card.These people, who do not pay attention to righteousness, make Lao Qian a little speechless.However, at this moment, he didn't have time to care about these, but looked at the face-covering Buddha Buddha card in his hand, and his palms trembled slightly."
Can you show me this Buddha card, old money."
In the stairwell, the retreating movements of several people just made room for Lin Jiuying to insert into it.He looked at the special shape of the Buddhist card in Lao Qian's hand, which was completely different from the shape in his impression, a curious expression flashed in his eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and said."
Of course, you can watch it for as long as you want, even if it is to give you the amulet."
Hearing Lin Jiuying's words, Lao Qian hurriedly handed over the Buddha card in his hand, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a Buddha card made of gold but a hot potato.
