Episode 366. It is said that there are people who have benefited from it.
Sokji disciples were not just mobilized to help with the exorcism ceremony.
They had to become the hands and feet of the masters of Oryonggung.
When they were homeless, they were entrusted with chores such as preparing food or preparing for bed.
Still, the disciples of the secular household did not complain.
This is because participating in the exorcism ceremony of the masters of Oryong Palace is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Most of the requests coming in to magicians are related to exorcism or congratulations.
It is difficult to know the effect of congratulations right away, but exorcism was different.
You have to drive out the evil spirits right away so that you can be recognized for your skills and live as a sorcerer.
In that sense, it was both an honor and a pride to participate in the exorcism ceremony of the Oryong Palace.
Zhongnan Mountain in the south of Xi’an.
Around sunset, four Taoists and three laymen entered the entrance of Zhongnan Mountain.
They are the companions of Jinin in Changchun.
Changchun Jinin, who was making a big turn at the bottom of the mountain, stopped tall when he found the tomb of the god of land.
“It should be bright.”
At his call, the first disciple, Master Gwanghae, ran.
“Did you call?”
“I don’t think there will be any inns until I go further, so I’ll stop here and rest.”
“yes.”
Master Gwanghae also had the same thoughts as his master.
Judging from the mountain range, it was unlikely that a village large enough to have an inn would appear.
Master Gwanghae immediately called his disciples and ordered them to organize the tomb of the god of land.
Cheongcheonseok Baekseolyeon Yeonjeokha entered the tomb of the god of earth, dusted off the accumulated dust, and removed the cobwebs.
It is time for Snow White to pick up a jar that has just been broken.
Suddenly, a snake fell out of the jar and flicked its tongue.
Shureuk-.
“Kyaaak!”
When the snake landed on her foot, Snow White reflexively let out a scream.
At the same time, when the surprised Cheongcheonseok was hardened like a stone statue, Yeonjeokha quickly came out.
As he seized the snake’s head like a thunderbolt and subdued it, Snow White’s heart finally swept away.
On the spot, he cut off the snake’s head and threw it out the window.
“thank you.”
Snow White trembled as if the thought of it was terrifying.
At the scream, Gong Jin, the second disciple of Changchun Jinin, and Gyeongam, the third disciple, rushed in.
“What’s going on?”
To Master Gongjin’s question, Seolyeon Baek answered with a blush.
“A snake came out of a broken jar and I screamed. Sorry to startle you.”
“Tsk tsk! You just have to make a fuss about it when you see a snake or something.”
Master Gongjin scolded Baekseolyeon, and then he took Master Gyeongam out again.
Yeon Jeok-ha offered words of comfort to Baek Seol-yeon, who was standing there with an embarrassed face.
“Don’t mind sister-in-law. Even a freshman would have screamed in surprise if a snake suddenly landed on his foot.”
“…”
However, Seolyeon Baek silently tidied up the surroundings again without saying a word.
I scratched my confused partner head and turned around.
When the disciples of the secular household finished cleaning, Changchun Jinin and three other disciples entered.
“Good job.”
Changchun Jin-in said a word as a greeting, then sat cross-legged and fell into meditation.
His disciples also followed the master into meditation.
Cheong Chun-seok looked at them and whispered to Baek Seol-yeon and Yeon Jeok-ha.
“As expected, the Taoists at the main mountain are different no matter what. There is not a single point of confusion.”
Baek Seol-yeon and Yeon Jeok-ha nodded as if they agreed.
Certainly, Changchun Jinin and the three Taoists seemed like people living in another world.
To the point where it feels like an honor to do menial jobs on their behalf.
***
Shanxi Province.
West Coast.
Taecheongdo Hall.
around lunchtime.
When Yonggeumin, the ark of Yongmun Sangbang, came to visit, Ilwoon Master greeted him.
As soon as Yonggeumin saw Ilwoon, he asked urgently.
“How have you been?”
“You haven’t arrived yet.”
“Huh! It’s been eight days since I sent someone to the non-partisan faction. Shouldn’t you be here by now?”
“It’s not a short distance to Yongdaein Wudang Mountain, so a day or two may make a difference.”
Yonggeumin endured trying to fight back at the explanation of Master Ilwoon.
He went as he said, and on the way back, it could be a day or two later than planned.
It was when Yonggeumin was breathing a deep sigh in frustration.
The door to the auditorium opened wide with the sound of light footsteps.
After that, Dan Yu-jeong, a beautiful woman in her thirties, jumped inside like a wild horse.
“Dragon Gaga! How long will you keep me here? Now, just smelling the incense makes my head hurt! Can’t we just go home? yes?”
Dan Yu-jeong, who had been imprisoned in the Taecheong Dogwan for the past eight days, begged.
In an instant, an awkward smile appeared on the dragon’s face.
“Madam, even if you are frustrated, please be patient. It will be over by tomorrow at the latest.”
“What I did tomorrow is already going to be sold today. Surely you’re not trying to lock me up here stupidly, are you? If you think so, I will not forgive you!”
A glint of glare poured out of Dan Yu-jeong’s eyes.
Yonggeumin and Ilwoon Master, who were pressed by her momentum, secretly avoided their gaze.
Dan Yu-jeong is the eldest daughter of the famous Dan family in Xi’an.
With her beautiful appearance like a flower and excellent martial arts, people called her the ‘flower and bird sword’.
It is not easy to get a nickname in Gangho.
In front of her, a master of the Murim world, Yonggeumin and Ilwoon, both ordinary people, flinched.
Yonggeumin finally mustered up the courage to say something.
“Calm down. How can we keep your wife here? I understand your frustration, but I made a pact with Taecheong Do-gwan, so let’s endure it for a day.”
At her husband’s request, Dan Yu-jeong calmed down her anger.
‘Return’ is different from ‘possessed by a ghost’.
If ‘reversion’ is a one-time accident caused by external factors, ‘possession’ is inherent and its end is unknown.
If she had gone mad, the Taecheongdo Hall might have been drenched in blood.
Because there is no warrior here who can withstand the Hwajo Sword.
“joy! It’s only one day. You know it’s because you’re going home tomorrow no matter what anyone says.”
“Thank you.”
Yonggeumin let out a sigh of relief and said to Master Ilwoon as if he had promised.
“Wait one more day. Please don’t disappoint us anymore.”
Yonggeumin also had a lot of complaints about Taecheongdogwan.
If it wasn’t for the branch of the shaman faction, he would have already left with his wife.
However, the background of being a non-partisan held him back.
I had no choice but to ignore the shaman faction because it would be difficult to expect help from Hocheonmaeng.
“Don’t worry. It should arrive tomorrow at the latest. Originally, I should have come today…”
This is the time when Master Ilwoon is making an earnest excuse.
A worker came running with a fuss.
“omg! omg! Welcome! Changchun Jinyin and his party have just arrived.”
Changchun Jinin and his party crossed the gate of Taiqing Taoyuan.
He looked tired from hurriedly walking for the past seven days, but his eyes were clear.
The Taoist Taoists who had been waiting for them all rushed out to greet them.
Despite the prosperous hospitality, Changchun Jinin’s face was seldom straightened.
Belatedly, Ilwoon Dosa came out with Yong Daein and his wife.
“Welcome, Changchun Jin. This is with Daein, the dragon from the top of Yongmun…”
Before the introduction of Master Ilwoon was over, Dan Yoojeong cut off her words.
“I’m Dan Yu-jeong, the hostess of the Upper Dragon Gate. Are you going to perform an exorcism ceremony?”
As she intervened, Master Ilun took a step back.
Now that Dan Yoo-jeong has stepped up, he thought it would be better for the parties concerned to take care of themselves.
Changchun Jinin replied in a calm tone.
“I have heard of the reputation of the Flower and Bird Sword. From now on, Bindo will be in charge. Could Mrs. Dan make time for this evening?”
“I’ve been here for eight days. I can’t wait any longer. It’s a shame because Jinin came today, but I was going to leave even if the sky collapsed tomorrow.”
“I understand. The ceremony will begin at Yushi (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM). Until then, rest in peace. We also have something to prepare for.”
“thank you. See you then.”
Dan Yu-jeong showed courtesy to Jangchun Jin-in, who was a warrior.
It is said that she was not known in Xi’an, but compared to the non-partisan Changchun Jin-in, it is natural that she is the same as the Zhaojok hemostasis.
When Dan Yu-jeong, who had been rampaging like a rake, became polite, Master Il-woon smiled bitterly.
Yonggeumin and Danyoujeong went out of the guest room while being sent off by Jinin Changchun.
Only Taoist Taoists from Taecheong Taoist Hall asked a male Changchun Jin-in.
“Where is the Neungji Seonin?”
Master Ilwoon, the deputy owner of Taecheongdo Hall, answered carefully.
“The ruler is lying in self-incineration. Would you like to meet me now?”
Suddenly, Changchun Jinin turned his gaze to his disciples.
“I will meet Seonin Neungji first. The ceremony will be held at ‘Samcheongjeon’, so be prepared. After you are ready, you can rest.”
“yes.”
When the three direct disciples answered, Changchun Jinin stood up.
Master Ilwoon accompanied him and headed for Jasokak.
self-incineration.
Changchun Jinin defeated the Ilwoon master and went into the room alone.
Seonin Neungji, who was lying on the bed, felt a presence and struggled to raise his upper body.
“You can just lie down.”
“Ah, Jinin has arrived. The lack of frequency has become a nuisance.”
Neungji Seonin had dark under his eyes, like someone suffering from a serious illness.
Changchun Jinin looked at Neungji Seonin with sharp eyes.
It is because of the rumors that he fell down during an exorcism ceremony and that he was possessed by a ghost.
But no matter how much I looked at it, it didn’t look like someone possessed by a demon.
The demon-possessed person is oppressed by his magic power and cannot even make eye contact. However, even though Seonin Neungji looked sick, he did not avoid his gaze.
“What happened?”
In response to Jinin’s question in Changchun, Seonin Neungji stared blankly into space for a while.
“How far have you heard, Jinin?”
“The sage collapsed during the exorcism ceremony, and he said he was possessed by a ghost.”
“Heh heh….”
A hollow laugh flowed from Neungji Seonin’s mouth.
Changchun Jinin was puzzled by Neungji Seonin’s reaction, but waited for him to speak himself.
After a while, the Neungji Seonin opened his mouth.
“It is clear that Mrs. Dan has suffered something at Jaeun Temple. Because he said he felt it in the middle of a faint mind. But I’m not sure if that’s a return.”
“Why did you collapse during the exorcism ceremony?”
“I don’t know either. I was memorizing ‘Taeeulgyeong’ at Samcheongjeon, but when I woke up, I realized that I was incineration. People say I ran amok like a madman.”
A shotgun ceremony flowed from Changchun Jinin’s mouth.
After hearing the story, it seems that the problem with the Taecheongdo Hall is more twisted than I thought.
“What kind of place is Jaeunsa?”
“It is a large temple on the outskirts of Xi’an. In the case of Mrs. Dan, it seems that she often sought her to have a child. I heard that there are quite a few people who have benefited from it.”
“Did you often receive a return there?”
“Not at all. I understand that Mrs. Dan is the first in relation to return.”
Changchun Jin-in, who was thinking hard, changed the topic.
“By the way, how are you feeling? Have you received a pulse from the doctor?”
“I fell down while exorcising, but what do I do when I get a pulse? As the observers say, if you are invaded by fraud, the white medicine is invalid.”
“Still, if you don’t know, take a pulse. His face doesn’t look good, as if his blood is clogged.”
From the perspective of Changchun Jinin, who is also a military man, the condition of Neungji Seonin was close to internal injury.
‘She suffered internal injuries during the exorcism ritual?’
Of course, if fraud is exploited during the ceremony, diseases that were not there may occur.
In such a case, it is painful over time, but it heals naturally.
‘Something is strange.’
