Chapter 7

7 times. Trapped in the mirror,

he reached out his hand to reach out, but was blocked by the mirror and could not go further.

“You monster! Don’t touch my things!”

He thought that he had been attacked by a monster.

The youkai trapped in the mirror switched places with him!

However, the Yo-kai didn’t pay attention to his words and ran around the warehouse with a cheerful face.

He tried to grind the enemy who was trapped inside the mirror, but there was no way.

‘OMG! To be attacked by a monster!’

In a fit of rage, the serial enemy, who had been tearing his hair out, inadvertently kicked.

puck.

The Sohak book that was stuck in his foot flew to one side.

Curiously, the world in the mirror seemed to be no different from the inside of the warehouse.

The couple walked to and fro in the mirror, huffing and puffing.

It didn’t take long to realize that he could move just the size of his warehouse.

“You bastard...”

Swearing came out spontaneously.

You tricked me into locking me in a small space!

Out of resentment and injustice, I kicked the mirror, but only my toes hurt.

And so, after five years of living in a warehouse, the life in the mirror of a younger brother began.

***

All the nephew in the mirror did was watch the monsters all day long.

The Yo-kai repeated what he had done before.

They ate food through a small hole and urinated and excreted in a jar.

There is only one thing different from my usual self. The Yo-kai always laughed at what was funny.

At first, he was resentful, but as time went by, the monster’s actions seemed pathetic.

Isn’t that the difference between a dog and a pig!

He swears at the youkai with whom he has a rivalry, saying, ‘You fool!’

Then one day

That day, too, the couple who saw the child eating their own flower cakes jumped up and down in a fit of rage.

“Stop eating! mine!”

The eyes of Yeonjeokha, who was going back and forth in the mirror with an exasperation, saw a basket full of fireballs.

Of course, there was also a basket full of fireballs in the mirror.

Yeonjeokha was not hungry, but he approached the basket just in case.

The withered fireballs were contained in the basket.

What does the hwakwon in the mirror taste like?

Suddenly, saliva was forming in his mouth.

When I picked up the hard fire fist and put it in my mouth, it melted and went down my throat. Its sweet and smooth taste was incomparable to anything I had ever eaten before.

The rival enemy who swallowed three fire fists at once looked around.

A bucket of water was visible in his eyes.

How would the water taste if the dried fireball was like this?

I scooped up a little of the water in the bucket with the cumulative gourd.

Originally, it should have a musty smell, but the water in the mirror was different. I only smelled it, but already my heart feels refreshed.

I tasted some water with excitement.

My heart skipped a beat at the cool, sweet taste. From then on, he drank recklessly.

When he was so full that he couldn’t drink any more, he withdrew with a satisfied face. Except for being in the mirror, it seems better than the outside.

***

You can’t even see the passage of time in the mirror.

I missed the fresh wind that came in through the small window.

I desperately wanted to see the tree that could be seen through the food hole and even the weeds growing under it.

The wind didn’t blow in the mirror, and even when I tilted my head, I couldn’t see anything outside the crack.

Then one day.

The couple, who had been wasting time without doing anything, suddenly realized that they were just eating, drinking, and lounging around like a monster outside the mirror.

Thinking he had to do something, he picked up a stick.

The monster outside the mirror had the same face, but it was not himself.

That means that the movements learned through him are not his imagination.

The nine thousand laws and nine movements came to mind clearly.

I picked up the book, pretending to be deceived.

As expected, the letter written on the cover is Sohak.

‘damn.’

My teeth grind when I think I’ve been tricked by a monster.

“Bad baby!”

He flipped the cover of the book wildly with a curse.

swish

Hyeonnyeogyeong (玄女經).

‘huh?’

What was written on the title page of Sohak was the three letters ‘Hyeonnyeokyung’.

When the adults in the family opened their mouths, they said, ‘The ancestors lost the Hyeonnyeogyeong’.

‘Why is this in the mirror?’

If the Yeon family knew about it, it would have been devastating.

“joy! It’s a pain!”

The people of the Yeon clan, from children to the elderly, all cursed and harassed themselves.

Is it the son of a slave brought by his aunt from Baekgajang?

They blamed their mother and themselves for their father’s departure from Kangho.

Now I know why my dad left Kangho.

Dad knew he was going to die soon and wanted to spend the rest of his life with Mom.

After her mother died and her father died, the Yeon clan locked themselves in a warehouse.

I grabbed the Hyeonnyeogyeong and shouted.

“If I speak with the Yan clan, I am not human!”

I was going to throw away the surname Yeon because it was dirty, but I decided to put up with it because of my dad.

Instead, he is determined not to interact with the Yeon clan for the rest of his life.

What does Hyunnyeogyeong do?

Of course I won’t teach you.

If anyone asks, I’m just going to say that I woke up while I was locked up in a warehouse.

Just imagining it made me feel better.

To do so, you must first learn the Hyeonnyeogyeong and get out of this stuffy mirror.

That monster was quite worried while looking at the Hyeonnyeogyeong.

That means you haven’t mastered it perfectly.

If you show me a new technique of the Sword Mastery and the Hyeonnyeokyung, you will surely feel curiosity.

As the Yokai did before the matchmaking, she began to read the Hyeonnyeokyung.

At first, it started with an introduction to Gucheonhyeonnyeo, a freshman.

As I continued to read, a method of breathing with the unfamiliar name of ‘Nine Heavens Girl One Jinkyung’ came out. It is said that Gucheonhyeonnyeo made it herself, and if you practice this jingyeongdae, the fish will become a daebung (鯤化爲鵬).

That’s not the end.

From the middle, an explanation of the 18 movements learned so far continued. The nine movements that were familiar to the eye were, of course, the ‘Nine-Chun-Sae-Law’.

Subsequently, the names of the nine moves learned from the yokai came out.

Nine Heaven Sword.

A swordsmanship that reaches the sky beyond the sky?

Now that I see it, it seems that the Yeon clan learned only nine of the ‘Gucheonseibeop’ and called it the ‘Gucheongeom’.

First of all, I memorized all of the nine hundred characters of the nine thousand and one hundred and ninety-one genuine sutras.

Then, as recorded in the nine-thousand-yeo-iljingyeong, he inhaled, held his breath, and exhaled slowly, repeating.

Countless hours have passed.

By the time the nine-hundred-character Dharma text written on the nine-hundred-yeo-il-jin-gyeong was deeply engraved into the bones, a circle the size of a grain of rice was finally created at the lower end of the Yeonjeok-ha.

The enemies in the mirror didn’t know hunger or sleep, and were in a state where they were deflected from the flow of time.

When the rice grew to the size of an acorn, the crown of the head opened, and the ancestral spirit gradually began to accumulate in the baekhoehyeol of the head.

I didn’t open my eyes because I was drowning in the pleasure of fortune-telling breakfast that I experienced for the first time in my life.

After 100 days, Baekhoehyeol’s ancestral qi overflowed and finally pooled in the dantian via the vein.

When Jeongwon and Seoncheongi met in Danjeon, the two energies merged and became one, just like Taegeuk.

Finally, the nine heavenly spirits recorded in the nine thousand and seventeen worlds were created.

He didn’t know it, but it was the same as the boy in the mirror who had been sitting dead for a long time just breathing.

Once the Gucheongi was created in Danjeon, Yeonjeokha suddenly opened his eyes.

I didn’t have anything to do, so I concentrated on it, but I got something called the Gucheongi. Now I only got the seeds of the Gucheongi, but I feel like my body is different from before.

Yeonjeokha muttered with an ambiguous face.

“Gucheongi came in the middle of nothingness, so I told him to wait with an empty heart...”

The problem is that he still doesn’t know the feelings of vanity or vain.
