365 times. A great opportunity that cannot be bought with money
When you live in a group, competition, whether voluntarily or unintentionally, is bound to follow.
It was the same with the disciples of ‘Lu Dong-bin’.
No one lags behind because of the question and answer ceremony, but Baek Seol-yeon and Cheong Chun-seok stood out.
Among them, Baek Seol-yeon boasted outstanding skills.
Her achievements were on par with the masters of the Dragon Palace.
Baek Seol-yeon returned to her seat after surprising the guru with the ‘black darkness method’.
And I glanced at Yeonnamcheon.
I tried not to be conscious of it, but for some reason I was nervous.
I heard rumors about him.
A man who was caught selling and eating information in the form of questions and answers, but became a named disciple after being caught in the eyes of a young man.
You shouldn’t judge people by their appearance, but they were just as bad at what they did as they were with their ugly faces.
‘Did I become a named disciple with my skills? Or is it just luck?’
A lot has been said, but you will find out soon.
It’s not for nothing that the word nangjungjichu (囊中之雉) exists.
If you have skills, you will be noticed by people just like you are now.
On the other hand, the old school guru was also curious about Yeonnamcheon’s skills.
“Yeonnamcheon.”
Yeon Jeok-ha stepped forward at the name of the scholar of high school.
The secular disciples stared at him with eyes mixed with antipathy and curiosity.
Yeonjeokha stood in front of his sword and shouted loudly.
“Emptiness, imperceptible sight, geongon, unchanging, om-level female yulryong sabaha!”
The most difficult of the silver arts is the ‘void method’.
In an instant, the new model of Yeonjeokha disappeared from the spot like a lie.
It wasn’t that it was moved by light engineering, it was that it became invisible in the blink of an eye.
The old school guru, who blinked several times, asked with a dubious face.
“Are you there?”
Yeonjeokha’s silver technique was so perfect that even a guru of ancient science couldn’t be sure.
With a ‘yes’ sound, the silver hyungsul was released.
When Yeon Jeok-ha’s figure was revealed, the ancient scholar clapped his hands in admiration.
clap clap-.
“indeed! It is like a named disciple of the old master of Cheongbulno. There has never been anyone like you whom I have ever taught.”
Soon after, he went to work against the disciples of the secular family.
“Did you see! That is the silver technique of the Ohryonggung. Be proud of the techniques you learn!”
The disciples who had been watching blankly answered with a loud voice, ‘Yes!’
Snow White bit her lip.
Even though he was tired of Yeonnamcheon’s perfect technique, his desire to compete burned.
Due to the silver technique, the ridicule and envy towards Yeonnamcheon decreased noticeably.
Some say that Cheongbulno did not take him as a registered disciple for nothing.
***
Ohryonggung.
Geumjeonggak.
around noon.
Gakju Soja of Daewongak came to Geumjeonggak.
“What’s going on?”
The palace owner, Master Cheonmyeong, stared at Soyoja.
Daewongak is a place that is from Oryonggung or oversees the conduits related to Oryonggung.
Did something so troubling happen that he came unexpectedly?
just as expected! The consumer asked with a confused face.
“Princess, do you know that it is the Taichung Daoguan of Xi’an?”
“Everyone knows. Isn’t it the place where Neungji Seonin, who is famous for exorcism?”
Seonin Neungji is a guru from Oryonggung.
His exorcism was quite famous, to the extent that the common people called him a hermit.
“The Neungji Seonin... Ha ha!”
Sojae sighed as if he was embarrassed to speak.
“Is anything going on?”
“Yong Dae-in, a merchant in Xi’an, has a wife who is in a state of disrepair. However, it is said that the wife received her return while attending Jaeunsa Temple for 100 days.”
Master Cheonmyeong frowned at the strange sound.
This is because return means contact with ghosts, that is, sexual intercourse.
“So?”
“Have you, kite priest, experienced exorcism?”
“No? What about the death penalty?”
“Neither do I. How about the White Sisters?”
“Me too. I’ve never seen one before.”
The three looked at each other with puzzled faces.
I was told to help prepare for the exorcism, but I was embarrassed because I had never even watched it.
“I wonder if I should memorize a few more incantations of destruction. Have you two memorized anything?”
Cheong Chun-seok, who was muttering to himself, asked Yeon Jeok-ha and Baek Seol-yeon.
I shook my head in a row.
Then, Seolyeon Baek spoke with a triumphant face.
“I am memorizing three. If you want to prevent the encroachment of the kite priest’s fraud, you must know at least one Pasa spell. Otherwise, you will be in trouble.”
“Is it rough?”
“What is exorcism? You’re chasing ghosts. When the demons are cast out, where will they go?”
“Where are you going?”
“Haunted houses are people. When they are kicked out of their house, they find someone else nearby.”
“omg! really?”
“of course. Do you know that one or two people went crazy while watching the exorcism ceremony?”
At those words, Yeonjeokha’s face went white.
To Yeon Jeok-ha, who has a special fear of ghosts, that was a really terrible sound.
Baek Seol-yeon politely advised.
“It will take seven days at the earliest, so it’s better to memorize it when you have time.”
“yes.”
The topic of conversation soon moved to the talisman.
I listened to the conversation between Cheong Chun-seok and Baek Seol-yeon.
Since both of them had been apprentices of the Oryong Palace for a long time, they had a lot to learn.
***
Next day.
Early in the morning, four Taoists and three secular disciples left the gates of the Dragon Palace.
Changchun Jinin, three of his disciples, and three of his disciples.
Immediately after descending the mountain, Jangchun Jin-in, who was walking along the Guando, called Yeonnamcheon to his side.
“Are you a named disciple of Nosa Cheongbulno?”
“yes.”
“Tsk tsk! They said you can’t beat the years, but a precious person has passed away. Did you learn a lot from Nosa?”
“little bit.”
“How long have you been serving Nosa?”
Changchun Jinin showed interest in Yeonnamcheon.
Cheongbulno’s ‘speech’ was also famous in Ohryonggung.
With just one word from him, good luck and fortune arose, and all sorts of evil spirits left.
‘If I learned how to speak, it might be helpful...’
To be honest, I had higher expectations for Yeonnamcheon than the three disciples I brought with me.
“About a month.”
“Hmm!”
At the word one month, a quiet voice flowed from Changchun Jinin’s mouth.
‘My disciples, who have taught me sorcery for more than five years, are insecure...’
Will the magic I’ve learned in just a month help exorcism?
And the opponent is a demon who ate the famous exorcist Neungji Seonin?
No matter how much I think about it, it seems useless except for running errands.
Just like the other two disciples.
“Did you learn the language?”
“yes.”
“Good thing. Have you ever seen an exorcism?”
“No?”
At the word ‘no’, Changchun Jinyin completely emptied his mind.
It was fortunate that this did not hinder, let alone help.
“I heard that among the disciples of the secular family, your technique is the best. Was it the influence of the language?”
“no. The way we use language is a little different.”
“yes. I forgot. Anyway, I have high expectations for you, so wherever you go, don’t forget that you are a disciple of the Dragon Palace.”
“yes.”
“Stop going.”
He nodded goodbye and went back to his classmates.
After that, Changchun Jinin never called Yeon Jeokha close again.
