Chapter 4 - Amulet Merchant

After Zhang Li went crazy, Li Fan returned to normal. So, to express his grat.i.tude, he specially treated me and Liu Fu to a good meal.

Liu Fu was completely unrestrained and asked for 60000 as remuneration that day. He didn't forget to brag about how, oh so hard, he had to work to convince an Azzan master to work his magic. Both me and Li Fan were completely speechless at his boasting.

After everything was over, Liu Fu even gave me a big red packet of 3000, saying that if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have made so much money.

At the time, this act moved me to no end, and made me think, ”this guy is quite honest”. This went on for quite a while. But after knowing him for a long time, I found out that it was quite the opposite. One day, when Liu Fu was drunk and not paying attention to his words, I found out that this guy had never even gone to Thailand, not to mention talking to an Azzan master.

He just spent a few hundred dollars and invited a priest to chant an exorcism mantra, which displeased the Yin Spirit and drove Zhang Li mad.

After finding out about this[1], I avoided Liu Fu for a very long time.

This went on until one holiday, when I was playing mahjong with friends and family, I saw a b.u.t.terfly shaped amulet on my younger male cousin's neck and asked him if it was a tantric amulet.

As soon as he heard that, his eyes twinkled and he said, ”Big bro Meng, you know about tantric amulets too? Let me tell you, this b.u.t.terfly amulet is something my cla.s.smate brought over from Thailand. It's really mystical! Not long after I wore it, when I secretly thought about a girl, she seeked me out and talked to me of her own volition and currently is really good to me!”

I found it a bit funny, ”Who knows, maybe she's liked you from long time ago. It probably has nothing to do with the tantric amulet.”

”There's no way that's possible! Before I put it on, she never actively talked to me, not even once.”

His expression was serious as he said, ”You can't not believe it. My cla.s.smate gave his father a prosperous business tantric amulet, and in a couple of months, his father was promoted!”

”Maybe his father was already on the verge of a promotion.” I replied

When my cousin heard that, he said with some unhappiness, ”His father had already been stuck in place for five years. But when he put on the tantric amulet, he was promoted. How can there be such a coincidence?”

When I heard those words, I was surprised.

At night, my mind was completely occupied thinking of tantric amulets. Bringing along a ”give it a shot” att.i.tude, I gave Liu Fu a call and asked if there were any tantric amulets which helped out at work and protected people.

Liu Fu said with a laugh, ”There are many kinds of tantric amulets, and their prices vary. Proper amulets cost 2000-8000, whereas yin amulets are even more expensive, and can cost anywhere from 8000-20000. There are also Guman Thong Amulets. Ones obtained from a temple cost 20000-30000, but ones with a spirit are even more expensive. It depends on what you need really. The last kind is little demons. They are extremely expensive, but the effects are especially potent. However, I'd advise against getting one. When it comes to these things, not many people can satisfy them.”

Hearing Liu Fu's words, I was stunned. I had no idea that there were so many different types.

At the time, I was quite curious, so I asked Liu Fu to explain in detail.

Liu Fu patiently said, ”In Thailand, there are two types of masters[2]. One is the white robed Azzans, the other is the black robed Azzans. White robed Azzans are generally monks from a normal temple, or masters who make proper amulets. The tantric amulets they enchant naturally become proper amulets. But as for black robed Azzans, they practice dark arts and make use of yin materials. The tantric amulets they make and enchant become yin amulets. The effects are a lot better than proper amulets, but the risk is much greater. Then there are Guman Thongs which are idols shaped in the image of a little child. If a demonic soul is added in, then it is called an avatar[3]. little demons are even more formidable. But to make one, you have to refine an infant's corpse into a mummy[4]. Naturally, the effects are extremely potent!”

Hearing what Liu Fu said, I felt terrified.

Yin amulets are things I don't dare touch. After all, what happened with Zhang Li is still fresh in my mind. Don't even talk about Guman Thongs or little demons, just thinking about them scares me.

But the main reason was their price, which easily enters the range of tens of thousands. The amount I earn in a month is only two to three thousand RMB, where would I get the money to buy one?

Thinking up to here, I had Liu Fu recommend a proper amulet to me, ”My budget is two to five thousand RMB. It's enough if the amulet can protect me and a.s.sist me at work.”

Liu Fu said, ”If you want one that protects you and helps at work, then I advise you to get a ”Chong Di Buddha[5]” amulet. It's also quite cheap, only 3000. Coincidentally, I have one on hand. If you want, I can hand it to you tomorrow.

I happily agreed.

The next day, Liu Fu brought along the Chong Di Buddha amulet and gave it to me. After the transaction, he even had me advertise for him, saying that if I had any family or friends that wanted to buy tantric amulets, I should directly look for him, and after the deal he'd hand me a red packet.
