Episode 361. Mirror and Water
It seems that everything has an end.
After about an hour (two hours), the wandering thoughts that had been biting their tails gradually moved away.
As more time passed, they lingered in my head one by one and then disappeared.
Then, finally, the moment of futility came.
It was the same as the empty mind taught by Gucheonyeoiljingyeong.
The Gucheongi, which had been submerged in the Danjeon, arose spontaneously and swept the Qigyeong Arms without hesitation.
Gu Cheon-gi did not rest until he turned his body around twelve times before he settled down in the Danjeon.
Yeonjeokha, who was contemplating Gucheongi, widened his eyes.
This is because the ‘Gucheonhyeonnyeogyeong’, which was in Waryongjang’s warehouse, suddenly appeared in front of them.
Even in the dark, only ‘Gucheonhyeonnyeokyung’ was clearly visible.
Looking at his swollen face reflected in the bronze mirror, there is no doubt.
It was definitely the Gucheon Hyeonnyeogyeong, which she had polished all winter to a shine.
‘Is it real?’
Hesitantly, he reached out his hand to the mirror.
The moment my fingers touched the surface of the mirror, my body flipped over with a ‘splash’ sound.
It was as if I had fallen into the water, and my breath stopped.
The astonished rivals screamed madly and swayed their limbs.
“Aaaaaaa!”
In the next moment everything disappeared like a lie.
He stared at a point in front of him with a blank expression.
The nine-thousand-hyeon-nyeo-kyung slowly melted into the darkness, and Jong-nae disappeared.
‘what? Did I doze off for a while?’
I couldn’t help but think like that.
It was difficult to dismiss what he experienced as something that happened during meditation.
‘Damn it. Even now, I need to concentrate again…’
Growling-.
The stomach was clamoring for food.
I don’t know why it’s already like this.
When I tried to concentrate for a bit, a ‘gurl’ sound broke the atmosphere.
“Wow! driving me crazy. How long has it been since this uproar?”
Once the concentration was scattered, the extreme hunger came.
“My stomach is a devil. lost. lost.”
I got up from the place where I was dating.
There was a loud creaking sound from the joints of the limbs.
I ignored it and inadvertently lifted my foot, but my knee trembled like an aspen tree.
“shit! Is this also the curse of the Unsoul?”
It is said that bad things are made even worse, and it seems that my body has become a very dirty rag.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who grumbled and walked outside, made a startled look on his face.
With the dark red sunset on their backs, Oryongchilsa stood side by side.
The blue fire furnace inside the five dragons and seven temples smiled brightly and took a step forward.
“It was a lot of trouble.”
“What a hardship. What everyone else is doing.”
Yeonjeokha scratched his head with a frown on his face.
By the way, they said it was a secret, so I don’t know why they brought the Oryong trainers.
Yeonjeokha whispered to Cheongbulno.
“Master, why are the other Taoists here?”
Then, Dosa Cheonmyeong, the ruler of Oryong Palace, spoke on behalf of Oryong Yuksa.
“Why, I heard that a disciple named Gi-myung of Cheongbul-no went into Blackam-dong and stayed away for seven days. Congratulations on becoming a member of the nonpartisan faction.”
“Seven days?”
Yeonjeokha looked at the blue fire with absurd eyes.
It seems like it’s been a little over an hour, but seven days have passed. I don’t know what this means.
Cheongbulno nodded.
“You came out in seven days. The four capitals were longer than expected, so they informed the Oryong masters and took turns guarding the entrance. I thought it would come out by today, so I decided to gather. what did you see?”
The gazes of Oh Ryong Chil Sa all at once turned to Yeon Jeok Ha.
It was because I was curious about what Yeonjeokha got from the cave, also called Dark Cave or Dark Cave.
Hesitantly, he reluctantly opened his mouth.
“A mirror.”
“mirror?”
“A mirror!”
“Great. Strange.”
“A mirror to a monk.”
“Did you pay too much attention to your face to see that?”
“her. What do you mean?”
The Oryong masters threw out one word at a time.
Cheongbulno did not listen to the words of the Oryong masters.
It would have been unusual if it had been seen after seven days of meditation.
“Have you seen the ‘Nine Heavenly Lady’s Sutra’ mentioned before?”
“yes.”
The Oryong tutors showed interest in the word ‘Gucheon Hyeonnyeokyung’.
Gucheonhyeonnyeo is the goddess of Taoism, so it is natural.
“What is ‘Gucheonhyeonnyeokyung’?”
Cheongbulno gave a simple answer to the question of Master Cheonmyeong.
“It is a mirror engraved with Gucheonhyeonnyeo that my disciple found in the storage room of the house when he was young. It is said that he overcame a major crisis thanks to that mirror, so to him it is the same as the ‘admiral god’.”
In Taoism, ‘Bushin’ means ‘the object of prayer’.
Therefore, Cheongbulno was an indirect expression of the relationship between Yeonjeokha and Gucheonhyeonnyeo.
Each Taoist has a special god they believe in and rely on.
Therefore, it was not strange even if Yeon Jeok-ha’s ‘admiral’ was Gucheon-hyeonnyeo.
Cheongbulno’s explanation was timely, so the Oryong masters didn’t ask for more.
Master Cheonmyeong, the ruler of the Oryong Palace, shook his head as if he understood.
“So, in the end, it means that Yeonnamcheon saw the ‘Adult God’. Facing the ‘adrenal glands’ is an amazing achievement. Cheongbulno brought in outstanding named disciples.”
The somewhat puzzled atmosphere was reversed by the words of Master Cheonmyeong.
If you just say ‘mirror’, it sounds strange, but if you say ‘adrenal gland’, the meaning is different.
Destiny is connected with the ‘Adrenal God’, so there is nothing better than that.
The lords of the Oryongs gave thanks to Cheongbulno and Yeonjeokha and left first.
When the people disappeared, Cheongbulno asked.
“So, is it all about looking in the mirror?”
“no. I touched the mirror with my hand, but suddenly my body flipped over and I was in the water. After struggling for a while, I came to my senses, and the mirror was gone.”
“Mirror and water. hmm! Strange.”
“I think I was dreaming while dozing off.”
“Heh heh heh! What a dog dream seven days If you had fallen asleep, you would have woken up in one day. If Gucheonhyeonnyeokyung is your adrenal gland, water will also have a meaning.”
“By the way, Master, you’ve been calling it the adrenal gland. What is it?”
“Tsk! The so-called cultivator doesn’t even know the adrenal glands. Go learn amulets in the afternoon.”
“Yes, I guess it’s from the talisman, right?”
“Yes. Amulets are drawn according to the Bujuchilbeop (符籌七法). They are called appendices (符首), father and son (符字), budo (符圖), adrenal gland (符神), department (符誓), burden (符膽), and relief (符脚), and each of them has a meaning. Among them, the adrenal gland is related to the ‘object of prayer’. I told the Oryong masters that Gucheonhyeonnyeo took care of you, referring to the ‘Bushin’. Don’t you also believe in Gucheonhyeonnyeo?”
“It is.”
Yeonjeokha nodded.
I’ve never met other gods, so it sounded like catching a cloud.
But Gucheonhyeonnyeo is different.
Maybe it was because I had lived in the warehouse for as much as 10 years wearing the nine-thousand-year-old woman’s glasses, so I became reliant on it.
To him now, Gucheonhyeonnyeo could be said to be closer than his parents.
“Namcheon-ah.”
“yes.”
“Water also means the boundary between this world and the next world. The Yellow River or Samcheon, where the dead cross, is like that. That you fell into the water might have something to do with it.”
“You mean I’m going to die?”
“Hey. When did you say I would die? It is said that water is the boundary between this world and the next world. Even if you say it like a dog, you should understand it perfectly. You said it perfectly, so why are you talking like shit?”
At the old monk’s reprimand, the younger brother-in-law scratched his head with a confused face.
“There will be a day when you will stand on that boundary.”
“Then what should I do?”
“What? Boundaries are there to cross bondi. Trust your ‘adrenal gland’ and move on. That is your destiny.”
“yes. But Master is really hungry, so I’m hungry.”
Belatedly realizing the condition of the enemy, the blue fire made a fuss.
“Oops! The old man is the main book. Let’s go. If you go now, you won’t be late for dinner.”
“yes!”
Cheongbulno and Yeonjeokha made their way through the forest, walking ahead and behind.
When Wulonggung appeared in the distance, Yeonjeokha asked.
“By the way, Master. Do the practitioners of the Palseongak know that I went to Heukamdong?”
“They don’t know.”
“Ah, then don’t you know that I am Master’s disciple?”
“okay. The only people who know that you are my named disciple are the Oryong trainers.”
“Are you going to keep it a secret?”
“why? Do you care about the cultivators of the Eight Precepts?”
“yes.”
“What’s hard about being a trainee when you’ve lived well among the tough guys in the green forest?”
Cheongbulno could not understand Yeonjeokha’s timidity.
Among the thieves, the name of Yeonjeokha was definitely at the top.
Does such a young enemy look at mere practitioners?
“Honestly, I don’t know about the sutras and sorcery. I guess it’s known that I’m Master’s disciple. People will think that I became a disciple by spending money. It’s because only Master will be criticized for no reason.”
There was some truth in Yeonjeokha’s words, so Cheongbulno listened in silence.
“That’s why I just want the Oryong tutors to know about it like now.”
“If you want it, I will.”
Cheongbulno readily accepted.
His only wish is to properly convey the ‘Eonbeop’ to his disciples before taking the first place.
Anything left behind would be taken care of by the Oryong trainers anyway.
“Still, since I haven’t seen him for seven days, the practitioners will be curious. What are you going to say to them?”
“How about going down the mountain for a while for a face treatment and coming back?”
“Do whatever you want.”
In this way, the excuse of the seven days spent in Heukamdong was completed.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was walking while holding on to his sore stomach, glanced at the green fire furnace.
“Why?”
“I don’t know if I can ask you this.”
“Tell me.”
“You always told me, ‘Your words are heavy, so you shouldn’t lie.’ But now that you tell me to do whatever I want, I’m a little confused.”
“That’s because the ‘Eonbeop’ hasn’t been delivered yet. After receiving the ‘Eonbeop’, you must always keep in mind the weight of words. You must do so even for the training of ‘Eonbeop’.”
“Ah, that’s it. Isn’t that ‘language law’ more complicated than you think?”
“So, wouldn’t that method be listening to the sound of the Beopbo? It’s difficult to cultivate, but supernormal abilities are better than spells or charms, so don’t neglect them.”
“Yes yes.”
Yeonjeokha replied coolly.
Without even thinking deeply about how far it is from his life.
***
Ohryonggung.
The octagonal left.
After dinner, let’s go back to the dorm, sure enough? The practitioners glanced at each other.
Master Yuun, the person in charge, did not say anything about what he had been told by Master Cheonmyeong, the palace owner.
However, the reaction of the trainees of Namchae High School was different.
It’s like ‘I liked it as if I had lost a tooth, but why did I come back?’ It was an uncomfortable face.
In fact, in their eyes, Yondubi was a mudfish that only muddyed the waters of Namchae High School.
It is only natural that there is no one who does not know about his ‘severe boils’ and ‘unjust money transactions’ in Palseongak.
Still, there were people who came up and talked to me.
Manhwangju and Cheonsangdong.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, what happened?”
“At first glance, the thin face must have been lost in Namam Palace. Am I right?”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was about to open the ‘Jade Emperor’s Classic’, shook his shoulders and laughed.
The upright practitioners look at themselves like cows and chickens, but only the two of them show interest.
I don’t know what kind of harmony this is because it comes to me first like this even if I push it blatantly.
‘Hyeonnyeo Gucheon, am I only attracting flies because I’m shit?’
