Episode 591. I was shy, so
I closed the book Byeokcho was reading and pointed to an empty seat in front of him.
“Sit down.”
“yes.”
Yeonjeokha, who was sitting on the opposite side of the wall, carefully controlled his breathing.
“I didn’t know you would send a newcomer to Cheonjubong... Did you have an accident as soon as you were initiated?”
“no?”
“Hmm! okay? It’s a big deal.”
Byeokcho tore off his beard with a puzzled face.
In Daeragak, people with poor spiritual energy were sent to Sogyeokgak.
Cheonjubong was the place of work for those who gave up even at a small distance.
It was unbelievable that a newcomer whose qualifications had not yet been verified was sent to such a place.
“Is Cheon Ju-bong’s job that difficult?”
“If it is Cheonjubong, is it not the main peak of Mt. Some are high, but the number of backspans is also higher than other places, so it is not easy to manage. As you will soon discover, the women of Phoenix Pavilion are the most demanding of the Soyo sect. That’s why I said that to send juniors with 5 or 6 years of experience. Tsk!”
“omg! Do we have to clean the back yard that the women use?”
“There is no distinction between men and women in shit.”
“That’s a bit embarrassing...”
“If you want to save face, go up to ‘Yeonhe’ and untie the belt. No answer before that. Once placed in the small space, you can’t escape until you reach the ‘younger’.”
“Does it mean I don’t have to work when I get to ‘Yeonhe’?”
“When you become an old master of ‘Yeonheo’, at least you have freedom of choice. Because they go out and work at ‘Jehaenggak’ only when they need a fleet or a fleet of territories.”
“How are you?”
“It is a place to help people of the world. In return, of course, a tribute.”
“aha!”
“Think of it as being relatively easy. As long as the job is easy, I’ll give you money as a starting point for the territory.”
“Are there any difficulties?”
Yeonjeokha tilted her head.
I was curious about what kind of work would be said to be difficult in Soyojong.
“Difficult tasks are managed by ‘Musanggak’. It is because the labor and management cannot do anything related to spiritual objects or divine beasts, or collecting very rare Gongji ancestral plants. Most of these things can be seen as requests from servants or gentlemen. That’s why the pay is so great that your eyes roll.”
“What is the pay?”
“Honseok or spirit stone.”
“Is that great enough to make your eyes go round?”
Then, Byeokcho looked at Yeonjeokha with absurd eyes.
To the disciple of the sect, the soul stone or spirit stone was a precious treasure to the point of risking their lives.
“Do you know what Honseok and Spiritseok are?”
“I know roughly. It’s like a stone that helps you practice.”
“crazy. You are the first person to be called the Honseok and the Spirit Stone.”
“Who is the stone? I said it was like a stone.”
“That sound is that sound. On the heads of spiritual creatures and divine beasts, there is a jewel in which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is condensed. What comes out of a spiritual object is a spirit stone that comes out of a spirit soul.”
“ah! aura.”
I shook my head in a row.
In Kuju, anything related to Spirituality was treated as a treasure, so it seemed like he knew it without even saying it.
“It is only up to Jinin (Wonyoung’s state) that he receives help from Yeongji Seoncho or Seondan Naedan. To the labor union (the state of obsession), it is said that such a thing is insignificant like pouring a bucket of water into a river. From then on, you won’t need a soul stone or an amulet stone.”
“Then the unions will work too?”
“As I said before, they get a separate job at ‘Free Amortization’.”
“In the end, are only monks like us working without pay for ten years?”
“It’s good if you work for it, let alone pay, and don’t get criticized.”
“Wow! Do you have a feeling that something is absurd?”
“If you think differently, it’s not necessarily like that. Aren’t they not only teaching you the basic construction methods of the soyojong, but also feeding and clothing you?”
“Do you think the death penalty is very positive?”
“If you spend twenty-five years in a small enclosure, things change in a positive way.”
In order to gain freedom as soon as possible, he had to learn the technique hidden in the ‘Television of Heavenly Love’.
An hour passed quickly.
Hearing footsteps, he opened his half-open eyes.
Eventually, I brushed off my seat and woke up, and Byeokcho approached me smiling round and round.
“Did you see anything?”
“After staring at it for a long time, I felt something flickering. I heard that the death penalty, which was said to be the fastest among the initiation motives, took a month.”
“It means nothing. Can’t you see me now?”
Seeing his somewhat self-deprecating face, he secretly changed the subject.
“By the way, is there a ‘Cheonaebulmunbi’ in other sects?”
“I know there is. We named it ‘Cheonaegok’ because it’s on a cliff, but I heard that there are places carved out of large rocks.”
“ah! I thought it was called ‘Cheonae Unmumbi’ in Heavenly Aegok, but I guess that’s not it?”
“I don’t know the origin. However, if you see that there is a ‘Cheonae Bumunbi’ in other schools, I’m sure I’m right.”
“Will the contents written on the Thousand Ae Unmun Monument be the same?”
“I don’t know. Maybe the servants know. A long time ago, we also studied ‘Ten Ai Unmun’ together.”
“By the way, who made ‘Ten Ai Unmun’? Someone made it, so there’s something like that on the cliff, right?”
“Some say it was left by the Creator God who created this world, but others say it is the work of servants who followed the Creator God. I think the latter is correct.”
“A species that followed the Creator?”
His eyes narrowed as he thought hard.
I think I heard a similar story somewhere, but I can’t remember what it was.
“Have you never read the creation myth?”
“Because I was not home educated. I grew up like an orphan.”
Byeokcho said with a nonchalant face.
“According to the creation myth, a creator god descended from the heavens of the upper heavens to the lower world and created the nine states. And I went to the savior and took nine servants. Later, the god of creation ascended to heaven again, but just before he left, he entrusted nine servants with the ‘gate to heaven [天門]’. The root of the family tree can be said to be the nine species where the creator god resides. Let’s think about it here. Does it seem like a creator god to have the ‘Ten Ae Unmun’ engraved on that cliff? Or are you like the nine servants who followed the creator god?”
“Nine species.”
“yes! You are not a tight-fisted person either. That is why the nine schools of the Savior are similar yet different. Even though they served the same creator god, their perspectives were slightly different.”
He nodded his head in suspense.
If that’s the case, I thought ‘Ten Ae Unmun’ would be similar but different. It is probably for this reason that the practitioners gathered together to conduct research.
“But the death penalty. What happened to those nine servants?”
“How is it?”
“I heard you were in charge of ‘The Door to Heaven’? Does that mean they stayed in the Savior?”
“After that, he must have gone to the heavenly world on his own. Only you know the answer.”
“You must have gone, right?”
“You sound natural. So, isn’t this a mess to become a servant? If not, what good would you do to shut yourself up in the mountains for the rest of your life?”
Byeokcho’s words contained the resentment of those who had not attained the Way.
I understood his miserable feelings of being in a relationship and passed over without throwing up any more.
***
Since it was lunchtime, the two of them left Cheonaegok and headed to the restaurant at the entrance of Bullousan Mountain.
However, Byeokcho took Yeon Jeok-ha to a dark and shady place at the back of the restaurant, not an empty lot.
“Brother Byeok, why aren’t you going to the clearing?”
“I’m a bit shy, so understand.”
“....”
Sogyeokgak’s old acquaintance is shy?
It was difficult to understand the serialization, but I thought so.
There might be other reasons, but it was because I wasn’t close enough to ask about them.
After a rough meal in a secluded place, the two climbed Cheonjubong Peak.
Byeokcho started cleaning from top to bottom.
The two of them passed through Soyojeong, the residence of a scholar, Mugungjeon, one of the three halls, Sesimjeong near Cheonaegok, and finally reached Bonghwangjeong.
It is time for the two to approach Bonghwangjeong Pavilion while receiving the setting sun.
A groaning sound came from behind.
“Hey! Byeokcho radiation! are you doing your job? Are you rolling it? I told you to clean up!”
