Chapter 391 Amulet
"Amulet?!"

Chinatown, Qian Kee grocery store.

After listening to Lao Qian's description, before Lin Jiuying could speak.

A few local Chinese on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "Old Qian, you really want money, even this stuff."

Amulets, as localized characteristic amulets in Thailand, have a lot of stories and legends about them, but not all of them appear in a positive image.

Otherwise, there would be no branch of the 'Yin' card in the amulet.

Compared with Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism itself has great differences, especially after the localization and integration of Thailand, many teachings have changed, and even the concept of Buddha cards is not limited to traditional Buddha statues. The images of some Buddhist monks themselves, as well as ghosts and ghosts, are within the scope of their carvings.

Even, in recent years, with the increase of local Chinese tourists, even amulets such as Fox Fairy have become popular.

However, there is no fox species in Thailand, so the nine-tailed fox amulet can only be regarded as a special custom-made amulet for a specific Chinese ethnic group, and basically no one in Thailand will wear it.

As Chinese in Chinatown, all of them are well aware of the local value of amulets, as well as the ways and taboos behind this thing.

Therefore, in Chinatown, few people will engage in business related to amulets.

After all, this is a business that belongs to the locals and even monks, and Buddhism, as the local state religion of Thailand, is even more popular in the local area than Voodoo in Haiti. It has been spread as early as before the founding of the Thai people in the [-]th century.

The belief that Voodoo spreads through fear is not as widespread and popular as orthodox sects such as Buddhism.

According to statistics, Buddhists in Thailand account for 90.00% of the total population of the country[-].

There is a special religious office in the local area, dedicated to religious affairs, with the highest authority of the monk and emperor. At present, there are more than 9000 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 Thailand's tourism industry, there are many Westerners studying Buddhism, so meditation centers are everywhere, and the local Buddhist culture is more prosperous.

The life of the local Thai people can be said to be centered on the temple. Buddhist temples are not only the source of religion, but also the source of social interaction and education.

According to the general custom, a Thai man must go through at least one ordained ordination in his life before he can be regarded as having a complete personality.

It can be seen that the influence of Buddhism in Thailand is so deep that it has basically penetrated into the basic necessities of life of every Thai.

"How do I know that there is something wrong with this amulet?"

Hearing everyone's exclamation, 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. It was fine before, and nothing happened. Why did something go wrong this time?

"Can you let me have a look at that amulet?"

Lin Jiuying didn't know much about the amulet in Lao Qian's mouth, but she also had some guesses in her heart.

Thinking about it, the reason why Laoqian has run into evil recently should be on top of this amulet.

"Wait a minute, I'll find it right away."

Hearing Lin Jiuying's words, Lao Qian immediately stopped arguing with everyone, and hurried down to the counter to start looking for the masking amulet he bought earlier.

Before, when he bought the amulet at a price of six thousand seven, he thought he had earned it. Now it seems that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.Maybe the guy who sold the amulet to himself at the beginning wished he could win the amulet himself.

While thinking in his heart, Lao Qian had already dug out the amulet from the wooden box on the counter.

Looking at the masked Buddha engraved on the amulet, I feel a little cold in my heart.

The statue of Buddha, which looked solemn before, now looked a little gloomy in Lao Qian's eyes.

Shivering, Lao Qian quickly walked upstairs with the amulet.

"I found it, the amulet is here..."

However, I don't know if it's because I'm anxious or because I'm old and have bad legs and feet. Obviously, the stairs of this grocery store have been walked thousands of times, which is a very familiar path for Laoqian, but this time the stairs As soon as it slipped, the whole person staggered and fell backwards.

If the fall is real, at the age of Laoqian, old arms and old legs, it is not just a simple fall, and it may be the same as the three in the vase.

"careful!"

Seeing it, the old money is about to fall.

Lin Jiuying, who was standing at the top of the stairs, subconsciously yelled, stretched out her feet and picked up the luggage on the side. The originally heavy luggage drew an arc on the stairs and landed precisely at the corner.

In the next second, Lao Qian's staggered body fell to the ground.

"Ok?"

"It's all right!"

The expected severe pain did not come, Lao Qian opened his closed eyes, touched his body, and then realized that there was an extra luggage bag behind him, precisely because it appeared to help Lao Qian back up. After a while, it won't fall too badly.

"You're okay, old money."

"Why are you so careless?"

"That's right, if Lin Daochang hadn't made the move just now, you would have been in trouble."

After reacting, he attached the old money that had been poured on the stairs, and several Chinese people who helped him hurriedly told the old money what happened just now.

"I don't know what's wrong, suddenly my feet are soft..."

Hearing everyone's description, Lao Qian turned his head and glanced at the luggage bag under his body, a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes, but the next second his eyes fell on the amulet in his hand, and the happiness in his eyes quickly becomes fear.

"No, it's not an accident, it's this amulet, it's what made me fall!"

Hearing Lao Qian's shout, the few people who were helping to support him subconsciously withdrew their hands and took a step back.

If everything that Lao Qian said is true, then the amulet in his hand is very important, and I don't know if the movement of their support just now will be targeted by this amulet.

The lack of loyalty of these people made Lao Qian a little speechless.

However, at this moment, he didn't have time to worry about these things, but looked at the masked Buddha amulet in his hand, his palm trembling slightly.

"Can you show me this amulet, old money."

In the stairwell, the retreat of several people just made room for Lin Jiuying to insert into it.

He looked at the special shaped amulet in Lao Qian's hand, which was completely different from his impression, a curious expression flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and said a word.

"Of course, you can watch it for as long as you want, even if I give you the amulet."

Hearing Lin Jiuying's words, Lao Qian quickly handed over the amulet in his hand, as if what he was holding was not an amulet made of gold but some hot potato.
