Chapter 505 Popular Science
"Forget about filling in the gaps, let's learn together, let's learn together!"
Liu Lingling waved her hand magnanimously, showing no sign of anger.
"Yes, let's study together!"
Mo Feifei nodded.
After sitting down, Mo Feifei glanced around and said, "Master Lin, recently Siamese amulets have become popular in Hong Kong. But amulets are divided into positive and negative types. Can you tell us what the difference is between positive and negative amulets?"
These words struck a chord with the wealthy ladies, who nodded in agreement and turned their gazes toward Lin the Fat Man, waiting for his interpretation.
To put it bluntly, they all know the dangers of these little devils, and while they may have the desire, they don't have the guts to raise them.
The main difference is that they are different from actors in the entertainment industry who are eager to become famous. What they need is a steady and upward trend in their finances, not overnight riches or instant fame.
The topic that Mo Feifei brought up was actually a big test. If we passed, this circle would accept us; if we didn't, Fatty Lin and I would continue selling medicine to help people improve their health.
The arrogance in this is plain to see.
And it was only thanks to Master Liu that they gave us this arrogance; otherwise, they wouldn't even bother to be arrogant with us.
Fatty Lin also noticed this, but he acted as if he hadn't, and even had a happy smile on his face.
I know what kind of shit this bastard is going to do the moment he sticks his butt out. Right now, he's thinking, "The more arrogant you are to me now, the more pathetic you'll be on my therapy bed in the future."
After tapping the table twice, Fatty Lin said, "The core difference between a legitimate and a shady amulet lies in the materials and the aura it exudes."
He paused, looked around, and continued, "Authentic amulets are mostly made by high-ranking monks in temples using flowers, sandalwood, and jade, blessed with sutras and prayers. They have a peaceful aura, bringing peace of mind to the wearer. But what about 'dark' amulets?"
"Using evil ingredients in yin-style talismans?" Guo Meiqi, the straight man, spoke up at the right moment.
"Sister Meiqi is right!"
Fatty Lin chuckled and nodded, saying, "The materials used in Yin amulets are mixed up; corpse oil, grave soil, and ashes are all common. These are actually not too bad; even if they're Yin, they won't be too evil, and they're easy to deal with. The key issue is that some Yin amulets are infused with spirits!"
He paused again at this point, his expression turning serious.
"How are things after you've been spiritually connected?" Guo Meiqi, the straight man, chimed in again.
"Being possessed by a spirit is, in a sense, no different from raising a ghost child. In the beginning, you can get what you want, but later on, you have to pay back ten or a hundred times what you got!" Fatty Lin said.
"In other words, you can't invite shamanic talismans!" Mo Feifei concluded.
"That's right, you can't invite talismans from the underworld!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"Is there anything else?" Mo Feifei asked again.
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "I've heard that some Buddhist amulets lately claim to have 'charm oil' added, which can greatly increase a person's charisma!"
"Even 'popularity oil' has good and bad varieties!"
"Genuine oil is made from pure plant extracts, with a natural, pleasant aroma; 'yin' oil is different, you never know if it contains corpse oil or other harmful substances!"
"What is a flexible material?" Chen Wanqing asked.
"You know about the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, right?" Fatty Lin didn't answer, but asked in return.
"I know!" Chen Wanqing nodded and said, "This kind of old ginseng is currently extremely rare and expensive!"
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "The 'bent material' is a type of plant that grows deep in the dense forests of Southeast Asia, as rare as ginseng from Changbai Mountain!"
"However, unlike Changbai Mountain ginseng, which can replenish qi and blood and save lives, the greatest effect of this kind of 'cursed' material is to disrupt the mind!"
In the end, Fatty Lin made a definitive statement.
"To disrupt people's minds?"
These women weren't so concerned about this statement; they were more surprised.
"Let me put it more clearly, it's promiscuity!" Fatty Lin said again.
These words made the women a little scared.
"Let me add something else: brands made with these flexible materials, if worn for a long time, will gradually change a person's temperament, making them unknowingly become dissolute!"
"Other things are relatively easy to address, such as depletion of Yang energy, insomnia, excessive dreaming, and deficiency of Qi and blood; these can all be replenished. But once one becomes dissolute, it's an irreversible process, and it's very difficult to change back!"
"Is it that serious?" Chen Wanqing asked in surprise, glancing at Liu Lingling instinctively.
"It is indeed that serious!"
Liu Lingling nodded and said, "That's why you shouldn't touch amulets with 'dark magic' on them, especially those that claim to have been treated with special 'attracting good fortune' oil!"
"Thanks to Master Lin today, I was just looking for a bar of natural charm oil that can enhance my attractiveness!" said Su Manli, the daughter of the Tao Heung Group.
The others echoed this sentiment, saying it was all thanks to Fatty Lin's popular science explanation.
Actually, Fatty Lin didn't explain it too clearly, but they all understood.
In layman's terms, brands made with flexible materials can turn women into promiscuous sluts.
In this industry, having some fun is no big deal. Who hasn't dated a male model before?
But if she becomes a slut, then she's doomed.
Neither their husbands' families nor their own families would accept it.
"What if we've already hired a brand that uses flexible materials?" Chen Wanqing asked.
"How long will it take?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Not long, just over half a month!" Chen Wanqing said.
"No problem, just take the sign back and come to our shop for a few more acupuncture treatments and it will be fine!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's right, it doesn't matter if it's short-lived. The medicine hasn't entered the bone marrow, so it can be expelled!" I added.
"Then I'm relieved!" Chen Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Fatty Lin explained the difference between Siamese ghosts and mainland ghosts to them, while Long Nier talked about the difference between Gu and black magic.
I also went up and talked about how to determine whether a person is possessed by evil spirits through traditional Chinese medicine, as well as some symptoms of evil spirits entering the body.
"Alright, the auction is about to begin. After the auction, let's have a small gathering in the study on the second floor. It's quiet there, and you can ask each other about any personal problems you may have!"
When the explanation was almost finished, Mo Feifei suggested that we temporarily stop.
Everyone agreed, so we didn't say anything more.
However, thanks to our explanation, these people's minds were no longer on the auction.
This auction didn't feature many high-quality items; most of the lots were personal belongings donated by Mo Feifei, Guo Meiqi, and others, as well as some jewelry.
The auction raised over four million dollars, all of which will be donated to children's charities.
After the auction ended and most people left, Mo Feifei glanced at the few who hadn't left and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk in detail!"
On the way to the second floor, I glanced at Liu Lingling a couple more times, and so far, she hasn't brought it up.
The more this is the case, the more vigilant I become.
