Chapter 568 Luo Cheng asked me to tell fortunes for a celebrity
Before introducing the Thai fortune-telling industry, Luo Cheng rang the bell. A beautiful woman came in, and he told her directly in Chinese what to eat for lunch.
After the woman left, I said, "Chinese?"
He laughed and said, "Half of the people here are Chinese. There are two chefs, one of whom is from our village. I can't get used to Thai food."
I laughed and said, "You can change your language, but your stomach is the only thing that's really hard to change. You'll like eating whatever you've eaten since childhood."
"So, you should eat at my place every day. I'll provide you with a special car and a special person to pick you up and drop you off every day."
I smiled and said, "Try your chef's cooking first before deciding. It may not be better than my Yunnan chef's."
Luo Cheng said, "Let me first introduce the situation of fortune-telling in Thailand. Although Thais don't know how to read characters or tell fortunes, face reading is actually very popular. They have one more skill than us: tarot reading."
I nodded. "His earthworm writing is difficult to predict. Predicting characters is more suitable for Chinese characters."
Luo Cheng took a sip of tea and narrated slowly:
"There's a ferry next to Thammasat University in Bangkok called Moon Ferry. This ferry is where fortune tellers gather.
Because Thailand's weather is so hot, setting up a stall outdoors during the day is unsustainable. Fortune tellers usually share an air-conditioned room with four or five others. Each person sets up a table to tell fortunes. They only open their stalls at night.
They don't solicit customers, just wait for them to come. There are generally three types of fortune-telling: palmistry, birth date reading, and tarot reading.
This is a street.
As for one temple, it's the Ghost Wife Nana Temple. This temple is inspired by a poignant love story between a human and a ghost. It's incredibly popular, with Thais coming here to pray for children, marriage, and winning the lottery.
I laughed and said, "Have you ever won the lottery?"
Luo Cheng said: "I don't know, but there are huge crowds of people every day, and there are a lot of fortune tellers gathered at the entrance and around the temple. Those who have had their fortunes read think it is very accurate."
I asked, “How accurate is it?”
Luo Cheng said: "I will talk about others first, because some friends took me there, so I went to watch the fun first. Then I tried it myself last.
A friend of mine is a professor. When I had my fortune told, the fortune teller asked about my birth date and said he was a great scholar with significant academic achievements. The fortune teller was very accurate. My friend has published many professional books and is influential in the academic world.
The second friend, the master said as soon as they met, that the money he had lent out could not be recovered. This friend had indeed lent a large sum of money to a friend, and had not been able to get it back for five years.
The third friend was from China. As soon as we met, the master told me he had a lot of romantic relationships and was going through a divorce. I had no idea this was happening. But he told me it was true and that he was traveling to Thailand just to relax.
I said, "What you said is basically face reading."
Luo Cheng said, "Yes. I went with her a few times, and I also tried it once. It's just like what I said before, I'm about to get a divorce. I want to try the master's divination to see if it's accurate.
I consulted a famous fortune teller about my marriage. He looked at my palm and said divorce was out of the question. He also said I might get hurt in the next few months.
I'm not a factory worker, I don't need to exert myself, how could I get hurt sitting in an office? But since he reminded me, I'll be careful even when walking, not to mention driving.
Despite being so careful, I still got into a car accident. So now I have a lot of faith in this driver. This is the person I want to talk about.
A street, a temple, and a person.
"What's his name?"
"Blue Dragon King."
“Why did you choose a name with Chinese characteristics?”
"He's working against the Chinese. Let me explain this in more detail."
“The more detailed, the better.”
"The most famous fortune teller in Thailand is called Longwang Shigong. He is a national treasure and is known as Thailand's number one fortune teller. He is renowned for his extremely accurate divination.
He is a standing member of the Buddhist Association of Thailand and frequently attends royal Buddhist events. He has studied Buddhism for 50 years and is a top figure, someone we don't get to see.
The second famous person is called Bailongwang, whose original name is Zhou Qinnan, and his native place is Chaozhou, Guangdong. He is a Chinese overseas in Thailand and lives in Buri Province.
He was known for his ability to guide others and was well-known in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. He had once helped a wealthy businessman and received a large donation, which he used to build a White Dragon Temple.
Because he was Chinese, the Thai fortune-telling community was dissatisfied, so a man named Qing Long Wang emerged to specifically oppose the White Dragon King.
When I met him, he wasn't very famous. Now he's getting more famous. But I've always kept in touch with him. Even though he's very famous now, we're still friends."
I laughed and said, "No wonder you deleted my WeChat. You've become friends with high-level masters."
"No, no, no, teacher, listen to me. I never deleted your WeChat. It's just that my phone number kept changing. Once when I went to Myanmar, and again when I came to Thailand.
I have always remembered your mobile number, but after changing to a Thai mobile phone, I have not added you on WeChat. This is the truth. "
I said, "That's the truth. I understand you."
He said, "Andy Lau had his fortune told in Thailand years ago, and it was very accurate. Teacher, can you tell his fortune for him?"
I laughed out loud: "He didn't count the money for me."
Luo Cheng said, "I've heard from others that he has a very clear memory."
I pointed at Luo Cheng and said, "You're going to test me, right?"
He smiled cunningly.
It's understandable. When he approached me, I wasn't very good at fortune-telling. Now, he wants me to do a fortune-telling for his friend in Thailand, and he also wants to get to know me better."
I asked, "Do you know everything about Andy Lau?"
Luo Cheng said: "I recorded it at the time, and then looked up the information again when I got back, so I can say that it is basically clear."
Things have come to this point, and my former fan has become my examiner. It is understandable that he does not trust my fortune-telling skills.
But I wasn't really stage fright. So he smiled and said, "Tell me his birthday."
Luo Cheng told me Andy Lau's birthday, and to be cautious, I asked him to bring paper and pen.
I wrote: Liu, September 27, 1961, Xinchou, Dingyou, Guihai.
Luo Cheng said: "You didn't write the time of the day in the Eight Characters, you only wrote six characters."
I waved my hands and said, "Don't bother me."
At this time, the woman from the office came in and said, "Boss Luo, it's time to eat."
Mr. Luo said, "Then let's eat first."
Coming to the kitchen, it's not Chinese style anymore. It's a long table.
Luo Cheng said: "Because my Thai friends come to my place, I take care of their dining habits."
The woman helped serve the food. It was a simple meal consisting of four dishes and a soup. She also sat down with us.
Luo Cheng said, "Chu Qian, let me formally introduce you. This is my life mentor, Mr. Wan Shanhong. He is treating Mr. Zha Lun's daughter. From now on, you will be responsible for picking him up and dropping him off."
Chu Qian stood up and extended her hand: "Hello, Mr. Wan."
"Don't call me Mr. Wan, call me teacher."
Chu Qian smiled and changed the subject, "Hello, Teacher Wan."
I said, "Sit down."
Luo Cheng said to me, "She's from Hunan. Her last name is Chu. She's very good. These dishes are all made under her supervision. She has a nutritionist certificate."
I laughed and said, "Hunan people are good at eating. Changsha is known as the food capital of China."
Chu Qian smiled and said, "That one is too spicy."
Luo Cheng said: "Yes, what we eat is very nutritious. So, you can see that nutritionist Chu Qian looks very beautiful."
Chu Qian said, "Teacher Wan, this isn't spicy, you can eat it without worry."
We didn't have a very lively meal. Luo Cheng's diet didn't change when he came to Thailand, but the dining culture he had in China was gone.
Without much persuasion, we each ate our own food. Perhaps he was eager to hear my analysis of Andy Lau's fortune. I didn't want to be polite, so after dinner, I told him that I had to rush back to give Dana acupuncture.
In just over ten minutes, we finished eating and returned to the living room, where I was about to start my lecture.
Luo Cheng said: "Wait."
He called Chu Qian in and said, "There's a die-hard fan of Andy Lau here. Let her sit in."
