What's the second character?
It's 難 "difficulty". The text reads [厄難消除]{やくなんしょうじょ}, and is a wish for the
removal of misfortunes and difficulties.

answer
This is 難. The whole phrase is 厄難消除【やくなんしょうじょ】. The style of writing used here
is called 行書【ぎょうしょ】 which is sometimes called "semi-cursive" script in
English. The full cursive script is called 草書【そうしょ】.
