EP.123 There is a reason for this name.
When there is a nobleman, there is bound to be a modest banquet. It is a long-standing human etiquette to relax the hand and welcome news from far away.
After taking Ji-seon to the restaurant, I took out all the leftovers. Not knowing what they would like, they all served Jiseon at the table.
I happily shouted a toast.
“Everyone pay attention! A nobleman has come to the abyss! The Goddess of the Corps of Engineers, the shovel’s guardian, Rivers, the mortician, Gongonrae, the Buldoja! The owner of all these titles is Jiseon-nim!”
Ji-seon nodded as a sign of affirmation, but when he introduced himself, he didn’t look very happy. Especially when listening to the last two tinnitus.
‘…I wish you could leave out the last two. Still, this introduction should end here.’
However, in this room there is a curious 12th century girl. said Tyr, genuinely curious.
“There are many people. How did you get all that?”
“haha. Other than that great stuff.”
Jiseon circumspectly refused to answer. But even if Ji-seon didn’t answer, there was someone who would answer.
that’s me!
“Not great! All of them have nothing but great things!”
You can’t treat a famous and great being like Ji-seon as a passer-by.
Someone else might be able to tolerate it, but I can’t. I immediately jumped out of my seat and got up.
“It’s ridiculous that there are people who didn’t realize the greatness of Jiseon! For those of you who don’t know, let me explain briefly!”
“No need.”
“You don’t have to be shy! Tyr is obsessed with outside news. If you don’t tell me in advance, you won’t be able to keep up with the conversation and you’ll get angry!”
‘…getting angry at the ancient existence of Sijo? The interest is also not normal.’
Ji-sun reluctantly agreed. When permission was granted, I introduced her like a host to an honored guest.
“Jisun participated in most of the national civil engineering projects led by the military. However, there is nothing that goes well in the country! For the Corps of Engineers at the time, which was all about digging trenches and erecting fences, such a large-scale civil engineering project almost became a massacre by burying as many people alive as it took! It was to the point of worrying that it might be the second coming of the king! That’s when it appeared like a comet!”
chuck. I politely raised my hand and pointed to Jiseon.
“This is Jiseon! Thanks to Jiseon’s participation in leading the Earth Magician under his command, the military has built a solid road dam building!
That’s all! How to make concrete that is many times stronger, how to deal with it, how to build a foundation, and even finding water veins and leveling soil! Jiseon and the Earth Magician, who tell all of that, were no different from the Earth Mother to the Engineer Battalion! That’s why the goddess of the Corps of Engineers!”
“Hoo. To think that the apostle of Mother Goddess became a carpenter. Interesting.”
As Tyr listened with interest and his eyes sparkled, Ji-seon couldn’t resist introducing me anymore. I continued my explanation.
“Shovel Guardian and Reverse Undertaker have their own anecdotes too! One day a sapper was buried in the ground while shoveling. As is common on construction sites, some citizens feared, saying they were enraged that the Earth Mother had dug into their flesh. at that time! Jiseon demonstrates earth magic! Like a volcano erupting, like a well springing up! His body came out of the depths of the earth!”
Exclamations flowed from everywhere. Tyr’s reaction in particular made me satisfied.
“Oh oh. I’ve seen Taoists do similar things. And so?”
“Since that day, the Corps of Engineers is no longer afraid of shoveling! Hence the guardian of shoveling. On top of that, unlike morticians who bury the dead, they pull the living out of the ground, earning the title of upside-down mortician! That’s the Reverse Undertaker!”
“Excellent!”
Tyr exclaimed and looked at Jisun again. Ji-sun opened her mouth for a moment, then responded with a smile.
“It’s just rumors that have inflated arbitrarily.”
‘…Earth Mother. Give this poor daughter the strength to endure shame.’
No matter how famous a branch line is, it is a kid compared to Tyr, who boasts a history of the 12th century. Tyr, who is similar in age to the bottomless pit, showed interest, so I couldn’t bear to interrupt my words.
After writing the cheat key, I continued to explain.
“Konkonrae (滾坤崍) is named after the fact that when Jiseon works, the earth flows like a river (滾)!”
“Does the land flow like a river?”
“That’s right. There is such a thing as cement! With Jisun’s know-how, the military has mass-produced high-quality cement. Just while thinking about how to move it, Ji-seon appeared again! I used the power of Earth Sorcery to spill the cement! It is said that the cement she poured did not stop for a week!”
It was once said that there was a time when a branch ship and a single platoon of magic officers moved more than all the cement transported by the military.
Also, the knowledge learned at that time led to the creation of the meta conveyor belt, one of the seven greatest inventions of the military.
“I don’t understand common sense that such a thing is possible…”
“Because it is possible, it is Jiseon because it surpasses common sense! Fame doesn’t come easily!”
A person who calmly accomplishes the impossible with common sense. So people worshiped her.
Since the appearance of Seonghwangcheong, the Jimo faith has been steadily declining. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was all thanks to Jiseon that the old faith, which barely survived, was able to revive and blossom in the present age.
When the introduction seemed to end like that, Ji-seon was relieved inside.
where There is still one left.
“Then what is a Buddhist?”
Startle.
Ji-seon briefly responds to Undead’s question.
I smiled and explained as if I had been waiting.
“It means one who does not fall.”
“Do not fall?”
“Nobody in the Corps of Engineers has ever seen Jiseon fall. Whether it be a slope, a rocky mountain, or a land that is muddy with rain. Jiseon always walked on two legs.”
Engineers and laborers who participated in the construction. No one has ever seen Ji-seon kneel on the ground.
When a two-legged man walks on all fours like other animals after suffering all kinds of hardships.
She always stood on two legs and walked on two legs. Like an old tree, he did everything with his legs tucked in.
“Even one day during construction, the dam collapsed. The weakened fissure broke open and water leaked like mad. It was clear that if we continued like this, the dam would burst and flood everyone downstream. It’s a terrible disaster. at that time.”
At this point, everyone expected what would happen.
At the same time, he was dubious about what he expected.
It is possible in words, but a feat too grand to be accomplished with a human body.
“If Ji-sun, who appeared at that time, hadn’t blocked the dam with her whole body with her legs firmly planted. It must have been.”
“oh my god.”
Tyr covered his mouth with his hand and the Undead groaned.
Something to look forward to but hard to believe. Catharsis that occurs when humans invade the realm of the impossible.
I read everyone’s feelings and screamed as if it was something I did.
“Even then, she didn’t fall! Plugging the flowing water with his body, he gave a strict order to repair it while he endured. If she falls, the situation is so dangerous that even those who repair it will be swept away!”
However, those who participated in the construction at that time talked about the anecdote whenever they had a drink.
No one there could have imagined her falling.
“However, the Corps of Engineers and laborers came down and repaired the dam without a shadow of a doubt. During the entire day she became the dam, the construction was completed without eating or sleeping.”
As I cried out, my eyes were wet with tears of emotion.
Ah, speaking of Ji-seon’s feat, which seems like it could be explained forever, the time has come to end it. How can human history be so short and pitiful?
I ended the story in a dying voice.
“Since that day, they have become an elite force against the land. The legendary sapper battalion. As a unit that does not fall, as a non-falling unit, an engineer corps.”
right after I finished speaking.
Impressed, the Undead jumped up from his seat and chanted.
“Buddhist Corps of Engineers! What a wonderful name!”
“Yes? It is said that the military government honors that meaning by naming the new equipment a Buddhist priest.”
“Big. People always look for a place to leave their name. Even though it’s two people! Jiseon has accomplished a great feat!”
The person who heard the story of the Corps of Engineers that remained as a legend again.
‘Even after 20 years… I couldn’t shake it off.’
He sadly drank the glass. I think I’ll be sad if someone reads it.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have fallen once.’
I raised my glass high for Jiseon, a Buddhist practitioner who wants to deny her legend.
“let’s fight! let’s win! Let’s do fire!”
“It’s cool because it’s a fire potter…”
“It’s a fire potter! Let’s do fire!”
Very impressed, Tyr and the Undead continued to sing. Even Aji shuddered in the tumultuous atmosphere and shouted, ‘Bung! Pottery!’
With respect and support pouring in from all sides.
‘I must have fallen…five times.’
Those who do not fall thought so.
In any case, the banquet continued. Except for when the nickname of a Buddhist priest came out, Ji-seon readily answered questions directed at her.
What did you do after leaving the Corps of Engineers and how much effort did you put into fostering the younger generation? What is the doctrine of mother god?
It starts with a subtly unrelated question, as if setting a zero point, and slowly approaches the main topic.
I took the lead and opened the door.
“By the way, why did someone as precious as Jiseon come to such a shabby place?”
It was the subject everyone had been waiting for. It was a story that even the Undead and Kalis were curious about because they were interested in hearing all the stories of Tirja.
…And to the regressors who are just listening outside without being involved in this place.
widely.
When we got to the main topic, Ji-seon put down the glass and opened his mouth heavily.
“The small man has come to fulfill the long-cherished wish of all the followers of Jimo.”
“The earnest wish of all Earth Mother followers?”
“It is. The Abyss is a trace of the Earth Mother’s anger in the past and a shameful self-portrait of all Earth Mother followers. The ugly side of the buried people buried by the king’s karma.”
Saying that, Ji-sun stomped her feet briefly.
thud.
Gon reached the extreme. The extreme meaning of Qigong, which sends the given power completely to the ground, spread throughout Tantalus.
Jinwon, who caused an artificial earthquake, said with a firm will.
“The abyss of the earth mother’s hell that turned this land into a wasteland. A small man has come to this place to get rid of it.”
“You mean to get rid of the bottomless pit?”
okay. It is certainly.
Ji-seon is the person who comes to get rid of the abyss that the regressor said.
I don’t know why, after seeing such a famous person, I thought it was a snake dreaming of a reversal or a nightmare of Seonghwangcheong.
After all, it was a few months ahead of Tantalus!
“It’s nonsense, but… since the person who created the legend of the Buddhist priest said it, I feel like it’s about to come true!”
“…Could you please stop talking about this name now?”
Oops. Did I touch you too much? okay.
