Episode 833. There is nothing free
in the world.
Especially when the merchant I met for the first time offered to give me something.
No matter how much he has lived his life without paying attention to others, he knows that much.
“So what do you want?”
In response to Yeon Jeok-ha’s straight-forward question, Yu Ha-won of the Ark of the Three Summits suddenly bowed her head and shouted.
“Help me!”
“ah! It’s a surprise!”
Surprised by the sudden shout, Yeonjeokha flinched and pulled back.
Yoo Ha-won put on a puzzled expression at Yeonjeok-ha’s reaction and then continued.
“I have a daughter who doesn’t hurt if you put it in her eyes. But somehow, I went crazy while reading the old books I collected last summer.”
“Are you going crazy reading old books?”
“Didn’t I say that I secretly collected the old books from the Great Antiquity Tower?”
“You must have known that people died because of the old books, but do you collect them?”
“It was the first time, so I thought the fuss would subside over time. At that time, I wondered if there would be someone to find…. The higher the risk, the higher the profits.”
“I did, but did your daughter go crazy reading that old book?”
“It was a book with no content. The clerk of our upper ranks and I read it too. The person who sold the old book to me also said he had read it. It’s a book that everyone says it’s just such a book. So I can only call it bad luck.”
“So?”
“I tried to exorcise the demons by enlisting famous Taoists, but all of them failed. Everyone said that ‘the people who lost their lives due to the old books of the Great Tower are possessed by the ghosts’. The grudge is so deep that they can’t handle it with their own power. A few were seriously injured during the exorcism.”
“Are you injured?”
“That’s why the priests suddenly hurt themselves during the exorcism ceremony. Later, when I asked why, they couldn’t remember either.”
The young man’s mouth fell open at the absurd story.
It’s amazing that the guru who was performing the exorcism self-harm, but you can’t even remember?
“Just in time, the masters of Ohryonggung, who were practicing red meditation, were also invited. Everyone shook their heads. One of them said that it might be possible with Namcheon Daehyeop.”
When the story of Ohryonggung came out, Yeonjeokha’s eyes twinkled.
It was the first time I had heard a story related to the priestess Ohryonggung in Gangho.
“Do you know who told my story?”
“Yes, a guru named Lee Do-ju said so.”
A small smile crept across the younger brother’s lips.
It was nice to hear the name of the person who was training in the Oryong Palace.
“After that, I hoped only to meet Namcheon Daehyeop. If you fix my daughter, I will reward you separately. Please help Namcheon Daehyeop.”
Yeonjeokha looked at the deputy attendant with perplexed eyes. It was because it was ambiguous to make a decision alone because he was now tied up as an escort for the guild.
Regarding that part, Dong Won-yong, who had already spoken with Yoo Ha-won, spoke calmly.
“The caravan is scheduled to depart tomorrow after lunch. Until then, Namcheon Daehyeop can move comfortably.”
It is said that it is okay to perform an exorcism ceremony as long as the departure time can be strictly adhered to.
I turned my gaze out the window.
It was not too late to perform the exorcism ceremony now, since it was said that it was early evening.
“Do you have a book that your daughter read?”
“Yes, I am at home. If you tell me, I will bring it right away.”
“Is your daughter at home now?”
“yes.”
“Then bring the old book first. Because I also want to read the contents once. After confirming the contents of the old book, let’s do the exorcism ceremony.”
“Yes yes. thank you I will bring it right away.”
Yoo Ha-won hurriedly got up and disappeared outside.
Said the gentleman cautiously.
“Is there anything I can do to help you prepare for the Great Hyeop Exorcism?”
Yeonjeokha glanced at him.
It seemed like he was saying this with miscellaneous shamanic preparations in mind, like a normal exorcism.
“no.”
“Are you still okay? From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary demon.”
“The language I learned does not require tools.”
“Ah yes.”
Wonyoung nodded his head.
There was nothing else to say that there was no need for a party to supervise the exorcism ceremony.
“Is Lord Bang Yu’s house near here?”
“Yes, it takes less than an hour (15 minutes).”
“okay.”
Yeonjeokha no longer showed interest in Yoo Hawon.
Deung Won-yong, who was sitting with a puzzled face, said goodbye and left the room.
Maybe it’s been about a meal (about 30 minutes)?
Yoo Ha-won returned with a silk-wrapped package.
“What are so many of them?”
“Coming to think of it, it seems like my daughter has read all the old books. This is the last book my daughter read.”
Yoo Ha-won took out a book from the silk package and put it on the table.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who picked up the old book, asked as if he had suddenly remembered.
“Aren’t these the old books sent to Namjiryeseong?”
“Not at all. These books were later found in the Great Tower.”
I turned my eyes to the old book that was serialized.
My heart felt lighter when I saw the thinness of the book.
The title written on the cover was Burimun (不二門), as befits a book from a temple.
‘Does that mean it’s not two?’
When I opened it up, the contents were ordinary, as Yu Ha-won said.
Conversation between the oral tradition of the Brahma and the great master was the main focus of the story about the return of all laws and the return of one person to another.
[When Oral Brahma asked, ‘It is said that all laws return to one, where is that one place?’, the great master answered.
“It is immortal.”
Oral Brahma asked again without saying Katabuta.
“Where is the one place where all the dharmas return to one?”
“Because it is a non-two gate, there is no place to return to.”
Then, Gujeonbeomcheon said.
“The place where the myriad dharmas revolve is immortal (不生不滅 neither created nor destroyed), incorruptible (不垢不淨 neither dirty nor clean), and indivisible (不增不減 neither increases nor increases).”]
Book was all there was to it.
There was also a phrase I saw in Buddhist scriptures, so I couldn’t believe that people were crazy after reading this.
‘Is it really because of the ghosts of people who died in famous religions?’
If there was no problem with the old book, it must have been another cause.
In the midst of dating, I also looked at other books.
However, the only old book related to the oral tradition was the ‘unknown’ that I read at first.
After thinking about it for a while, I picked up the door of the serial fire and threw it into the space warehouse ‘Maha Dam’.
Since it is a book related to Oral Beomcheon, I plan to give it to Namgoongyeon.
As an old book disappeared into the air, Yoo Ha-won’s eyes widened.
“As the ark said, there is not much content in the book. I don’t think I’m crazy after reading the book. Let’s go.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha got up from his seat, Yoo Ha-won asked.
“Daehyup, don’t you need other old books?”
“Yes, I only need the one I just got. Take it back and sell it or keep it as a souvenir.”
Then Hawon Yoo, like a merchant, put the remaining old books back into a silk cloth.
Looking at him in a relationship, he stuck out his tongue.
‘Wow! My daughter, who doesn’t hurt even if I put it in her eyes, said something… In the midst of this, she’s taking care of old books.’
Yoo Ha-won was obsessed with old books as much as he was treating his crazy daughter.
***
When Yeon Jeok-ha arrived at Yoo Ha-won’s house, it was around midnight (8:00 PM).
The bonfire lit in the yard brightened the house, as if he had received Yoo Ha-won’s message.
I entered the main house along with Yu Ha-won, who had a romantic relationship.
Yoo Ha-won’s wife, who had been waiting in the main house, met Yeon Jeok-ha’s eyes – and she didn’t even ask – and rubbed her palms together while reciting the Shinju of the Heart.
A bitter smile spread across the young man’s face.
It seemed like he knew how many Taoists had passed through this place in the meantime.
After a while, he entered the room following Yoo Ha-won, who had a romantic relationship.
A girl in her late teens was tied to the bed with a rope.
She was a beautiful girl with a slender egg-shaped face and clear features.
Even though her mouth was gagged, she was no ordinary beauty even if she pretended to be.
However, when I tried Tongcheonan, my whole body was engulfed by the turbid energy.
Yoo Ha-won looked at the girl with sad eyes and said.
“She was called the most beautiful woman in Xi’an. If it hadn’t been for the use of evil spirits, high-ranking officials would have entered here and there… Inhye, do you recognize who I am?”
However, contrary to his anxious heart, the girl’s eyes glowed coldly.
“Looking at the daughter of the ark, it looks like she has something to say. Take off the gag.”
“It’s not difficult to let go, but… they use abusive language… so please don’t be too angry. It’s not sane.”
Yoo Ha-won carefully removed the gag after making an excuse for the safety of her daughter.
just as expected?
As soon as the gag was removed, the girl put on a pickaxe.
“Kyaaak! fuck! what! Why did you tie me up! can’t you solve this? 이 개새끼야! What is that asshole looking at me? why? do you want to do it once? Shall I give it to you?”
She bobbed on the bed like a fish just out of water.
It would have been worth watching if it hadn’t been tied with a rope.
He shook his head excitedly in love with the obscene words that were so far removed from his appearance.
Unable to hear, he raised his spirit and said a word.
“shut up.”
“…”
The girl who had been shouting with foam at the mouth fell silent for a moment.
The evil spirits gave in because he was a rival servant who reached the level of a half-body even without using a separate language.
Before long, Yeonjeokha looked at the girl and asked.
“What are you? Where are you from? Were you hiding in an old book? Or did it come from somewhere else?”
Then the girl answered.
“The ten thousand dharmas return to one, so where would that place be?”
The goosebumps of the moment of love rose up.
I never dreamed that a girl possessed by a demon could tell the stories recorded in the Book of Oral Tradition.
The girl laughed as she saw Yeon Jeok-ha standing there with a devastated face.
“Hohohoho! Grand Master! I come from a place where I am immortal, immortal, indestructible, and immortal! do you know what am i talking about! You don’t know, do you?”
I ended up becoming the flagship of the Grand Master’s voice.
He was curious about the identity of the demon possessed by the girl, but did not ask further.
This is because evil spirits are originally a being that feeds on lies.
“Shut up!”
The girl who had been giggling triumphantly shut her mouth again.
As soon as they were married, they spread their speech.
“In the name of Gong Yaja and Cheongbulno’s disciple, Yeonnamcheon, I command! Get out of that body immediately and return to where you came from!”
At that moment, the girl jumped violently, but the resistance did not last long.
There was no evil spirit that would disobey the law of Yeonjeokha, who had reached the level of a half-god.
The stiff body of the girl suddenly slumped.
Yoo Ha-won looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with nervous eyes.
“Is the grand bargain over now?”
He scanned the girl’s body with his twin eyes.
Seeing that I didn’t feel any foreign aura, it seemed that the demon had left.
“Yes, you will be fine now.”
Then Ha-Won Yoo ran to her daughter and untied the rope that was holding her tight.
“Inhye or Inhye?”
However, the girl did not respond to his call as if asleep.
Yoo Ha-won carefully covered her daughter with a blanket and turned around.
“Daehyeop Why did something like this happen to my daughter? Are you really a ghost who died because of an old book?”
“I don’t know. But I think it’s true that old books are related.”
At Yeon Jeok-ha’s words, Yoo Ha-won nodded.
I could tell that just by looking at the demon’s quotation from the ‘Unknown Gate’.
“Ha! I will dispose of all the old books.”
Yoo Ha-won was very sorry that her daughter seemed to be tormented by evil spirits due to her greed.
