Chapter 30: Nirvana Painting (13)

The moonlight was shining brightly in the spot that he had noticed earlier.

Seol Young went there and removed the leaves and branches that had gathered. He made it as flat and clean as he could.

And Zaha lurked around as if it were casual for him to see all of this. Even though Seol Young spoke to him harshly, he didnt seem to care.

Just ignore him.

Seol Young knelt and sat down. He took out two talismans from his robe.

Talisman for the Dead.

The one that prayed for the rebirth of the dead in a good environment.

He cleaned up the energy in that area and used the talismans with sincerity.

While raising the first talisman, Seol Young said,

The first soul was a very talented painter. He made many people happy by drawing beautiful pictures. Then, in the end, he ended up committing a sin and taking many lives, but

He raised another talisman.

The second soul saved several lives. It was for the sake of his father. Please atone for his sin with this.

He said this earnestly as he prayed, keeping both talismans side by side.

Lord, please have pity on the two souls and guide the father and son to be reborn together in a good place for them to continue their relationship.

He bowed for a long time and got up.

Zaha, who watched this without saying anything, said,

Even if I see it through to the end, it is the same thing that I dont get. Both souls have been extinguished, and there is nothing left of them or their past that can be found again. Even if you do this, doesnt it mean that nothing will happen?

Yes.

Seol Young shrugged.

But I still have to do it.

Why?

Because the heavens and earth taught me that. If there is death, then there is rebirth. And Re of rebirth means to calm down. It is a process to soothe the soul and put it to sleep.

Even if there is nothing there?

Even if there is nothing there.

Seol Young said.

He picked up the two talismans he had placed on the floor and soon burned them.

The two talismans turned into a blue mass of light and soon burned brightly as they spread everywhere.

Please be reborn.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Seol Young mumbled and looked at the sky.

The moon he saw from the room was shining, and his mind felt complicated.

There are cruel people in this world who kill others for no reason.

There are greedy people who simply deceive others to get what they want, and there are those who fight until the end.

A person who does his best to live a good life even after death and musters up the courage to go forward despite not having enough strength.

People like that are the ones who do miracles.

What if they unknowingly annihilated the soul of the child right after seeing him?

If that were the case, Seol Young wouldnt have known about the story behind the grudge until the end.

Thank you.

After bowing to the moon, he turned around.

There was one last thing to do before leaving this place.

Seol Young headed for the house.

?

Zaha, who was looking at the moon, turned his head and looked at him.

What?

Just one more look before we head back.

Seol Young said.

You saw the memories of the child, right? The painting had been sleeping so deeply for so long and suddenly woke up. It was no coincidence that someone came and woke it up. As if someone gave it a whiff of its prey.

And they had to find out who it was.

He went inside and checked every corner of the empty house, but he couldnt feel anything.

Not a single trace of spiritual energy was left inside. It felt clean, and before he knew it, Zaha was there.

Anything?

As he was watching as if this wasnt his duty and pretending he wasnt interested, Seol Young had a thought.

Actually, he is too invested in this.

In the Black and White Hall, where the game of go was played, and among the many rooms, Seol Young went inside where the top-ranked people gathered.

He sat across from the one he had commissioned last time.

The opponent said,

I was waiting

Did you find out?

No.

The voice of the man couldnt be identified as that of a man or a woman, or as that of a monster or a beast.

We couldnt find out what you described, but

But?

We found an object having similar power.

A hand crossed the veil. A small package wrapped in cloth was placed on the table.

Seol Young tried to open it, but it was just a lump. All the colors were mixed inside, and it looked quite old.

What is this? It looks like an egg.

I dont know.

And it was found in?

You know, you shouldnt ask.

The person said.

This has been around for a very long time and has been passed through the hands of many monks and demons. All things that clung to it lost their original shape.

And the person added.

Anyway, it is not wooden. You got it wrong. You wasted two days of our time just because you called it wooden.

When did I say wooden? I said it looked like a wooden tablet.

Seol Young took out the small sealing pouch with a red string from his sleeve.

The piece of wood, which looked like a wooden tablet, was in this pouch. An egg-like object was put into it as a test, and it reacted.

Incantation letters floated on the cloth, and the metal attached to it snapped into place.

It is of the same type.

Bigger and more powerful.

Said the man.

Now, what will you do? Strictly speaking, the request is a failure. I tried all our connections, but no one could identify what it was. I just wanted you to know that we can get you something useful. Will you close the deal? Or will you decide to cancel it?

Seol Young looked at this lump.

I will take it.

He wasnt in a position to give up on it. Didnt he use it well once before?

If I can purify this and uncover its identity.

Seol Young left that place and went outside.

He went back to his dorm and took out a talisman. It was five times the size of a common talisman.

And the size of the talisman changes the amount of spiritual power required. If the paper were five times the size, it would have twenty times the spiritual power.

Seol Young put all his energy into making a huge one.

He wrapped the unknown object in the talisman and put it into the sealing bag, which shone softly.

And he put this pouch into the bag he had brought from the White Tiger Spirit Troops. This made the items spiritual power vanish.

I have this, at least.

His heart felt a little relieved.

Then he heard a call from outside.

Seol Young-rang.

A voice of a middle-aged woman.

When he opened the door and went out, it was someone he had encountered so many times.

The errand boy came and went. To give this.

She handed out a letter.

Thank you.

Seol Young opened the letter.

The neat handwriting caught his eye. He could sense the character of the writer from this.

Hundred words.

Seol Youngs face brightened. He was happy without even having to read the content.

You havent forgotten your promise.
