There is no particular temple in the Earth Mother Goddess, where the mother Earth Mother is enshrined by everyone’s side .
Since they stand with their feet on the body, kneeling and prostrating themselves is like a divine being, and kissing the ground is like baptism.
There are things like the Great Temple on the top of the highest mountain, or a rock that claims to be the shape of a mother earth. It’s just a symbol anyway.
The Earth Mother has only followers.
That is the reason why the religion of Jimo Shingo rose and declined at the same time.
Since everyone can become a believer, the cult spreads like weeds in all directions, but unqualified people eat away at its reputation like poisonous weeds.
however.
Despite the foolishness of those without qualifications, the reason why they remain alive is because those with full qualifications are working several times as busy.
Some Protestants, who were reluctant to be respected, did their part silently despite being pointed at by the world and saved countless people within their reach.
All the people who were impressed by him called the famous Jimo Protestant a Seonja (仙者).
And speaking of the most famous prophet of this era.
“branch line! It’s Jiseon!”
The moment I realized the identity of the other person, I immediately ran out and greeted Ji-seon.
“I’m really looking at the real thing, right? branch line! It’s Jiseon!”
Ji-seon responded with a confident smile as if he was familiar with these cheers.
“Undeservedly, some of the deceased are calling small people that way.”
“Hey! I never thought I would see Jiseon in my lifetime! It’s an honor over there, maybe even a handshake…”
“No problem.”
Ji-seon willingly held out his hand, and I hurriedly took it.
It was a hand like a dead tree that held its breath, full of strength in each finger. He waved it up and down, holding tightly wrinkled hands like the annual rings of civil engineering history.
Aji, who was next to me, tilted his head at my kind attitude.
“bruise? Acquaintance?”
“Everyone knows this. Of course, I only know one-sidedly!”
How can we not know the legendary founder of Jimo Shinkyo?
Twenty-five years ago, when the military government overthrew the kingdom and seized power. Many had lost their lives, and ten times more had to lose their lives.
The factors of the old system, the merchants with accumulated vices, the knights and servants who colluded with them, and even the corrupt bureaucrats who ate beans while looking after them.
The military, struggling through the war, had to use all of them efficiently.
In addition, it was necessary to provide jobs for the lower classes who suffered from exploitation.
The military has done it.
A large-scale civil engineering project unprecedented in history. The large-scale project of building the military from the ground up solved a lot of problems.
What stood out there was the Earth Sorcerers.
The Earth Mother’s apostles, who were skilled at handling soil and sand, succeeded thanks to great effort and sacrifice.
The belief in Mother Earth, which had previously been treated as a folk religion or a cult, rose to the light after that day, and citizens worshiped the apostles of Mother Earth.
The most famous of them is this one.
“Goddess of the Corps of Engineers, shoveling guardian, Reverse Funeralian, Gon Gon-rae (滾坤崍) Undoer! The owner of all these titles. It’s Jiseon!”
‘for a moment. It’s a fire. Did that nickname spread to the world?’
Ji-sun’s eyes flinched for a moment, but I didn’t care and shouted.
Then Aji jumped up and down with excitement.
“bruise! Acquaintance!”
“men and horses. You don’t even know what Jiseon is. why are you excited Do you know the history of military civil engineering?”
“bruise! nice to meet you! nice to meet you!”
Tsk. It’s my fault for asking the dog.
Jiseon walked to the place where the light reached with firm and sure steps. As she walked towards him, Tyr, who felt an uneasy presence, sat on top of the coffin and waited.
Tyr said without hiding his wariness.
“…Hugh, do you know?”
Before I introduced myself, Ji-sun put her hands together toward Tyr.
“Nice to meet you, sir. I have heard the story of the progenitor who is always close to the land. As a follower of the Mother Goddess, I will pay my respects to the person buried the longest.”
“Are you an apostle of the Earth Mother?”
With that alone, Tyr’s boundaries were blurred.
Unlike Seonghwangcheong, which fought war instead of shaking hands when they met eyes, the inclusive Church of the Mother Earth did not reject vampires.
He wasn’t even an ally of the vampire, but even gray seemed bright to those who were surrounded by darkness.
“I have been acquainted with several guru in my past. They were upright people who set an example worthy of the name Dosa.”
Tyr lowered his voice and declared.
“I fought with some of them, but that happened because they attacked first. If you do not oppose me, I will not attack you either.”
“If you do, there will be no quarrel between us.”
Jiseon bowed and said, and Tyr smiled with satisfaction.
“He is quite a talker. I don’t think this visitor will do anything special.”
haha. well. that’s another thing i don’t know
By the time I swallowed those thoughts in my mind.
“no! What happened? The nobleman has arrived!”
The Undead and Kalis, who had just jumped down, also made a fuss when they saw Jiseon. In particular, the reaction was more pronounced for Callis, who had changed into an officer’s uniform that had never been taken out since taking off.
Khalis, who had her hat pressed down, saluted hastily.
“Loyalty! I’m Lieutenant Colonel Carlisle Critz…! What did the brigadier come here for?”
“brigadier general?”
The organization of the military is intuitive. If you go up in order of major general, lieutenant general, general, brigadier general means that the position is lower than all other generals.
Recalling that, the Undead asked with pure doubt.
“A lieutenant? So, Ji-seon is a position lower than that of a lieutenant general?”
“Stay still, Rash! Brigadier General is an honorary title. It is a gray star that does not belong to the general organization, but can be awarded only if its strength and merits are recognized!”
Callis, who had forgotten that she was playing a wounded person, hurriedly scolded the Undead. The Undead pointed out shyly scratched his head.
“You’re a great person, even if you don’t say anything, ah. I was just curious. Because the military is a great country that has even subsumed the branch line!”
The answer was followed by Jiseon.
“Why would those who follow the will of the Earth Mother step forward and create a corpse? The reason why the small man used such a sense of courage is to make the work more efficient.”
“haha! So you’re a general who doesn’t fight! I think it’s much better! Nice to meet you, nobleman!”
The Undead laughed heartily, and instead of extending his hand, he clenched his fist. Then, with eager anticipation, he proposed.
“Hey Jiseon! This is also related. Can I punch you?”
Fist-to-fist isn’t something light-hearted, like lightly touching the tips of your fists.
A savage greeting that tests each other’s faith and strength by swinging fists at the same time. It was an old ceremony that even the followers of Jimo were reluctant to do when asked to do it, as it puts too much strain on the body.
Perhaps it was the same, Ji-seon showed signs of disapproval.
“Toin. Those who try to resemble Mother Earth. This meeting was supervised by the Earth Mother, but this land is not connected to the pulse. The small man does not want to drain your energy like that.”
However, the reason for Ji-sun’s reluctance was different.
Even if the opponent is an immortal, he doesn’t want to hurt his body.
With overwhelming confidence in one’s own strength and innate arrogance. Jiseon said so.
“haha! Too bad! It was an opportunity to see the power!”
Even the Undead, who had been treated like sewage, didn’t look bad at all. Ji-seon, who smiled at him as he readily passed over, now looked at Callis.
“And you said lieutenant colonel?”
“Lieutenant Colonel Callice Critz. That’s right.”
“The small man received a military command from the military, but today he did not come as a brigadier general. I came here as an apostle who followed the will of Mother Goddess Earth to the end, so there is no need to set the example of a military nation.”
“Yes, I understand…!”
Still, it was Callis who saluted again with a sharp angle to see if the familiar military water hadn’t drained yet. Ji-sun smiled and turned her head to find the person she hadn’t said hello to yet.
and.
“…”
The soft impression hardened when the regressor’s eyes met. The regressor also faced Ji-seon with complex hostility.
The two stood at a distance, like people who could never mix.
The expression water and oil is too mild. This is because the two do not mix with each other, but float more peacefully than anyone else.
It’s like two beasts meeting in the realm.
It was such a situation that we couldn’t bear to approach each other because we knew we would have to make a life-or-death decision if we collided once.
The first to speak was Ji-sun, who was older. Jiseon spoke politely but without taking her eyes off the regressor.
“…I heard about it. There is a very good swordsman in the abyss.”
“I did listen too. There is an agent of Earth Mother who is stronger than anyone else.”
Words exchange formally, and the atmosphere gradually subsides.
Just as you can feel the foreshadowing of a storm even in a clear sky, when everyone present tries to read the unusual air and sharpen their senses.
“We have too many guests! Jisun! Let’s go in! You must have been tired from the long way, so let’s talk while eating!”
I tore the curtain of silence and intervened into Ji-seon’s vision. With a beaming smile and a look of respect, I tilted my shoulder to give directions.
Ji-sun, who immediately looked away, nodded her head.
“Please. The bottomless pit is not a pleasant land even for a small person, but the boat seems tired.”
“yes? That’s a big deal. There are many things I wanted to ask about Ji-seon’s achievements, but if you’re tired, what should I do…. Should I let her rest?”
To my joke, Jiseon smiled and replied.
“I think you’re doing gold lacquer. If it’s a story, no problem. Even my pride these days is to work?”
“Hey! If so! Let’s go to work! I warn you in advance, it will take a while to finish!”
“bruise? Are you going to eat? Báb!”
“You are a man. Find out where to fit and where to fall! The penetrating power is like an awl!”
Jisun followed my guidance and headed for the building. Aji quickly passed me, and Tyr rode next to me on the coffin. The Undead and Khalis looked up to Jiseon and followed him.
“uh? By the way, Callis. Is your body better? You look fine!”
Startle.
“…You’re a little overworked. Because the brigadier is coming.”
“haha! A nobleman like this is worth the effort!”
The complex abyss made me wonder if this place was a prison or an inn. That was while I took the lead and led them into the prison building.
When I suddenly looked back, the regressor was just watching Jiseon’s back without even thinking about following.
“Nyaaa-.”
A butterfly crept up to the lonely regressor. Standing near the regressor, flapping her front paws, the butterfly, with its tail inflated, glanced at the place where the people had disappeared.
hold on for a while Soon the two disappeared from my sight.
