Chapter 1000

1000 times. How should I live?

Shock was followed by confusion.

The realization of the thunderbolt contained in the Byeokryeokbu is because it depends only on the heart of ‘Gucheon Cheungwon Thunderbolt Treasure Cheonjon’.

By the way, even with the name of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, did you realize the thunderbolt?

A slight chatter arose between the masters and trainees.

They hoped that the Namcheon Grand Treaty would explain it.

But he didn’t open his mouth.

It is because his own Admiral (object of the will of the god) is Gucheon Hyeonnyeo, but that could not be the ‘reason for realizing the Byeokryeokbu in the name of Gucheonhyeonnyeo’.

As he stood there with an ambiguous face, Master Cheonmyeong, the owner of the Oryong Palace, stepped forward.

“Didn’t Namcheon tell you a moment ago? ‘I believe in God. But don’t rely on God’. He believes that he is the universe and that the universe is himself. Faith is the reality, or realization, of what is hoped for.”

“iced coffee!”

“that!”

An exclamation flowed from the mouths of the masters who were in confusion.

The trainees didn’t know exactly what it meant, but when the guru seemed to understand, they nodded their heads too.

If you didn’t understand today, you could ask the guru tomorrow, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

In this way, Yeon Jeok-ha’s sermon, which could have fallen into chaos, ended safely.

Just in time – as soon as he heard the news of Yeon Jeok-ha’s visit, the merchant of heaven and earth, the ruler of Jinmugung Palace, who had rushed to the palace with a spirit of vigilance, landed in the front yard of Oryong Palace.

When the lord of Jinmugung appeared, the masters and practitioners of Oryonggung did not drive them out, but they scattered on their own.

Thanks to this, I was able to leave the Palace of the Oryongs with the merchants of Heaven and Earth, who bid farewell to the Masters of the Oryongs, leisurely.

The merchant of heaven and earth, who had been walking silently, suddenly spoke.

“I heard you already met Jang Moon-in.”

“He came before the sermon.”

“The Yukpai Gate is keeping an eye on the shamans, but nothing big will happen. You did not lose because your secret leaked out, but because you were defeated because of your superiority.”

“I am indebted to the nonpartisans. I will pay you back anytime.”

“Debt, what are you talking about? Rather, it was to protect Chilpaimun. Besides, aren’t you a disciple of the shaman faction? Don’t think of it as a debt.”

“Thank you for your words.”

I was comforted by the words of the merchant of heaven and earth.

Hearing those words following the sermon at Ohryonggung made me realize that I was a member of the shaman faction.

“Where do you plan to go now?”

“I’m going to meditate at Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s shrine.”

“haha. Goo Cheonhyeon. I’ve heard that your adrenal gland is the sage of Gucheon. Did you also learn the technique from Gucheonhyeonnyeo?”

“I learned the technique at the Oryong Palace.”

“ah!”

The merchant of heaven and earth glanced at Yeonjeokha.

Since the manifestation of swordsmanship and magic was related to Gucheonhyeonnyeo, it was understandable to find Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s shrine.

“Life is so much fun. When I first met the Merchant of Heaven and Earth on Mount Obong, I didn’t know that I would become a non-partisan disciple.”

“I was also surprised when I heard that you were a named disciple of old man Cheongbulno.”

The shaman faction has five palaces.

Each of the five palaces pursued slightly different things. ‘Sangcheong Palace’ was qigong, ‘Jinmugung’ was martial arts, ‘Oryonggung’ was martial arts, ‘Namgam Palace’ was weak, and ‘Taehwa Palace’ was devoted to martial arts.

In other words, the five palaces are the root of the shaman sect.

So, the disciple Gimyung of Oryonggung was recognized as the disciple of the shaman faction.

After walking for a long time, Yeonjeokha finally reached the place mentioned by Master Cheonmyeong.

A small, shabby shrine stood at the end of a weedy alley, as if it had been uninhabited for quite some time.

Even though there wasn’t even a tablet attached, I intuitively knew that the place where they were linked was the shrine of the sage Gucheon.

I looked back at the Merchant of Heaven and Earth inadvertently, but the Merchant of Heaven and Earth had the momentum to follow until the end.

Sensing the enemy’s gaze, the merchant of heaven and earth spoke like an excuse.

“I was at Taehwagung until I became the ruler of Jinmugung. To be exact, he was one of the administrators of Taehwagung. Do you know what Taehwagung is?”

“You don’t know?”

“If Ohryonggung is the magic method, then Taehwagung is the place to practice magic.”

After a while, he arrived in front of the shrine of Gucheonhyeonnyeo and said goodbye to the merchants of heaven and earth who had followed him there.

“Stop going back. I plan to go while meditating.”

“Okay. Please respect me.”

The merchant of heaven and earth went back the way he came after greeting Yeon Jeok-ha.

When the merchant of heaven and earth disappeared, the couple entered the shrine.

A lantern was dimly lighting the inside, as if Master Cheonmyeong had used his hand.

Despite the fact that he had said he would not hold the ancestral rite, the newly brought incense piled up next to the incense burner.

Shaking his head excitedly, he turned his gaze to the altar.

A carved wooden statue of a woman named Gucheon Hyeonyeo stood in the middle of the altar.

I felt strange looking at the faded statue of Gucheon Hyeonnyeo.

Aren’t people looking for a gucheonhyeonnyeo these days?

When I think of the miracles that Gucheonhyeonnyeo has done to her so far, I can’t help but tilt my head.

‘By the way, how do I call Gucheonhyeonnyeo?’

I wish I had a mirror, but there is no mirror here.

“Should I burn incense?”

While muttering, he suddenly remembered the ‘Taesangjeong Il Advent Divine Spell’ taught by Jeokwol a long time ago.

‘I’d say it’s a spell to call God.’

I memorized an incantation with the feeling that it would be fortunate if they became enemies, or that they would fail.

At the end of the recitation of the incantation, a cloud came out of the cloud fragments supporting the statue of the sage of nine heavens.

‘her! Does this work?’

Yeonjeokha, who intuitively sensed the coming of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, took a step back.

In an instant, intense light poured out of the faded Gucheon Hyeonnyeo statue.

I had to cover my eyes with the palms of my hands as the light was so bright.

As soon as the light disappeared, Yeonjeokha lowered his hand.

In the place where the faded statue used to be, a dazzlingly bright and lively woman named Gucheon stood stepping on the clouds.

“Did you find me?”

“Did the spell I memorized really work?”

At Yeonjeokha’s question, Gucheonhyeonnyeo smiled.

“Orders don’t mean much. Your wind just reached me.”

“Ah jeop...”

He smacked his lips with a shy face.

Then I don’t know why there is an order.

“Hahaha, are you ready to go to the ‘fourth heaven’?”

“Before that, I have a few questions for you.”

Yeonjeokha stared at Gucheonhyeonnyeo.

I don’t know if he resembles Namgung-yeon, who he left behind at the Seokgyeongjang.

“What is it?”

“My wife said something strange. A day of ‘Dosolcheon’ is 400 years of human beings, and a day of ‘Tahwajajaecheon’ is 1600 years of human beings. They say that the time of the upper world is different from the present world. Is that true?”

“It is true. The time of the upper world and the lower world are different.”

“The time of the ‘fourth heaven’ and the present world must also be different, right?”

“Of course. That’s why I said, ‘Your life is at stake, so I won’t force you.’”

I didn’t ask about the time difference between the serial “fourth heaven” and the present world.

If it did, it seemed like there would be a lot of unnecessary thoughts.

Since Namgung-yeon said, “We can meet again,” there must be a way to meet again after a year, ten years, or a hundred years.

Hyeonnyeo Gucheon, who was watching Yeonjeokha, opened her mouth.

“Do you want to know how the ‘fourth heaven’ differs from the present time?”

“no.”

Yeonjeokha flatly refused.

What he was curious about – something he couldn’t do right now – was not about time, but about his enemies.
