Chapter 367
Episode 367. Whether it was a prank by a ghost or the work of a person,
Jangchun Jinin, who came out of self-incineration, headed for Samcheonggwan.
Under the guidance of Master Gwanghae, masters and disciples of the secular family were preparing for the exorcism ceremony.
In the incense burner placed in front of the statue of Nogun Taesang, incense of different lengths burned white.
In front of it, a red belt was wrapped around the location where the exorcism ceremony would take place.
Afterwards, the disciples of the secular household erected red flags densely around the belt.
The words written on the red flag are all the mantras of destruction.
After reciting a few of them, Changchun’s face straightened slightly.
Master Gwanghae tied a live black chicken to one side of the flagpole.
After a while, the chicken circled around the flagpole tied to a string, not knowing what its fate would be.
When the preparations for the ceremony were finished, master Gwanghae ordered the disciples to guard the altar.
Eventually, Master Gwanghae, Master Gongjin and Master Gyeongam approached Jinin in Changchun.
“Master, preparations are complete.”
At the report of Master Gwanghae, Jinin Changchun nodded with a satisfied face.
“Good work. Take a break nearby.”
“yes.”
The three Taoists greeted Changchun Jinin and left the Sanqing Hall.
After sending off the disciples, Changchun Jinyin slowly walked around the red belt.
The secular disciples guarding the altar moved behind a huge stele so as not to interfere with Changchun Jinin’s meditation.
When Yeon Jeok-ha stared at the words ‘Boksu-nok (福壽祿)’ engraved on the stele, Cheng Chun-seok said,
“Those three letters are what Taoism is all about.”
“I understand ‘luck’ and ‘life span’, but what is ‘rust’?”
“’Nok’ means to become an official and receive a green salary. What do you do when you have children and live long? You must have money on hand. It can be said that it is a blessing in the womb because the green salary received by officials is the most stable for making a living.”
“ah! It has such a deep meaning.”
I looked at the letters engraved on the tombstone with admiration on my face.
Then, all of a sudden, I had a strange idea.
“The masters of the non-partisan faction aim for immortality, but it seems that the conduit is not like that?”
“Because Conduit is a place where ordinary people come to pray for blessings. The atmosphere is inevitably different from that of the monks’ monasteries.”
“ah!”
Yeonjeokha shook his head.
Hearing Cheong Chun-seok’s explanation, he seemed to know the difference between the two.
“By the way, what is that chicken tied up for?”
“You’ve never seen an exorcism, have you?”
“yes.”
“You know that the letters of the talisman are used as injections, right?”
“Of course I know.”
“The blood of a chicken is more powerful than an injection.”
“A chicken?”
“When a rooster crows, doesn’t darkness recede? Chickens are sacred animals with the energy of death.”
Cheong Chun-seok thought that Yeon Jeok-ha was a newcomer and kindly explained.
However, Baek Seol-yeon did not even try to make eye contact with Yeon Jeok-ha, perhaps because her face was burdensome.
It was finally Yushicho (5:00 p.m.).
Taoists from Taecheongdo Hall, who were scattered here and there, gathered one by one in Samcheongjeon.
Yonggeumin, the ark of Yongmun Sangbang, and his wife, Hwajo Sword Danyujeong, appeared together with Ilwoon, the vice-governor.
Lastly, even the Seonin Neungji, who was lying down, appeared.
A strange tension pervaded the Samcheong-gwan.
Changchun Jinin, who had entered the red belt, gestured to Dan Yujeong.
Dan Yoo-jung, who had been standing far away with her husband, entered the red belt hesitantly.
The area around the altar was filled with smoke from the incense that had been burned for one hour (two hours) before.
When Danyoujeong was located in the center, Changchun Jinin scattered amulets in all directions along with the mantra of Taesangcheongcheondonghomyeongmyogyeong (太上太淸天童護命妙經).
Red amulets fluttered through the white smoke.
“...if a good man in the world recites this sutra seven times and reaches it ten thousand times, he will preserve his life and be at peace forever [在世善人若能持念此經七遍以至萬遍 護命無量永保安康].”
After finishing the mantra, Changchun Jinin sent a signal to Master Gwanghae.
As if he had waited, master Gwanghae twisted the chicken’s neck at once.
“I think we should also investigate the temple of charity.”
At Changchun Jinin’s words, Neungji Seonin widened his eyes.
Jaeunsa Temple is not a conduit, but a temple.
“Will they give permission?”
“If you do it at Taecheongdo Hall, they won’t allow it. But if you put the name of the non-partisan faction first, you won’t be able to stand it. It wasn’t enough that he made fun of the people, he hurt even a non-partisan disciple, so we have to catch the culprit.”
Changchun Jinin was a master of the martial arts and was unstoppable.
“Jinin, do you think there is a sex demon hiding in Jaeunsa Temple?”
“It must be the work of someone who is so skilled that he secretly subdues Mrs. Dan.”
“ah!”
An exclamation flowed from the gentleman’s mouth.
It would make sense if someone subdued Dan Yoo-jeong and herself.
“The sword of flowers and birds is a famous master in Xi’an, how could he not know that he was subdued?”
“It is possible if you are far superior to Mrs. Dan.”
“When Bindo had an exorcism ceremony, only the Taoists of Taecheong Dogwan were around. Could it be that he also took down Bindo without anyone knowing?”
“I will.”
Suddenly, Changchun Jinyin frowned.
I couldn’t even imagine how much inaction it would take to do such a thing.
***
Next day.
As soon as the day dawned, Jinin of Changchun went out of Taecheong Dogwan with his assistant, Master Ilun, at the fore.
I took only the people of Oryong Palace with me, fearing that Jaeunsa would say something different.
By noon, the temple was visible in the distance.
When they reached their destination, Jinin of Changchun sent even the master Ilun back to Taecheong Dogwan.
Then, he led only his direct disciples and vassal disciples into Jaeunsa Temple.
When the shamanist masters reached the front of Daeungjeon Hall, the head priest of Jaeunsa Temple, Master Bulgwang, ran out in a hurry, leading the monks.
Zen Master Bu Guang greeted Changchun Jinin first.
“Namu Amitabha. Binseung is called Bulgwang, the abbot of Jaeunsa Temple. When I heard that Changchun Jinin of the shaman faction had arrived, I hurriedly ran.”
“This is Changchun of the non-partisan faction.”
Changchun Chenin did not mention the word Wulong Palace.
This is the reason why the name of the shaman faction should be used rather than the Ohryonggung.
“Our Jaeunsa is an ordinary temple, but what is the truth of the shaman sect?”
“I will tell you straight forward. Recently, strange rumors related to the self-eunsa have been circulating. Do you know?”
“Are you saying it’s a bizarre rumor?”
Zen Master Bulgwang was deeply displeased, but asked politely.
It is because he did not know what kind of disaster he would face if he hated the non-partisan master in front of him.
“There are rumors about women who have come to see their offspring.”
“Ah...”
Master Bulgwang looked around at Changchun Jinin and the shamanist disciples with perplexed eyes.
‘this! I heard Dan Yu-jeong of Yongmun Sangbang experienced a bizarre incident and went to Taecheong Dogwan...’
It seems that he came here because of that.
“Did you come to visit me for something related to your return?”
In response to Master Bulgwang’s question, Jinin Changchun nodded calmly.
It’s because I don’t want to spin the words around.
“That’s right. I would like to take a tour of the place where the women pray. Could you guide me?”
“I apologize, but the head office does not borrow external help for matters related to exorcism. There are many monks who are famous for exorcism (exorcism) in our Jaeunsa Temple.”
“So you’re saying just go back?”
Jinin of Changchun looked at Master Bu Guang with sharp eyes.
“That can’t be. Binseung means that Jaeunsa can perform an exorcism without borrowing an outside hand...” “
Sensa Bindo came to check whether it was a prank by a ghost or the work of a person. If it is the work of a ghost, the master’s words are correct. But if the Murim master is hiding in Jaeunsa Temple and fulfilling his lust, shouldn’t we beat him?”
“Certainly, Jinin, do you think that this was done by humans?”
“The sage Neungji of Taecheongdogwan suffered an internal injury after being hit by the dark sutra during the exorcism ceremony. He was trying to help a person who had returned from Jaeunsa Temple.”
“Namu Amitabha Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva...”
A chant came out of the frightened Master Bulgwang’s mouth.
If Changchun Jinyin’s words were true, it was certainly worthwhile for a non-partisan master to seek out Jaeunsa.
