Episode 1431. You must be busy?
Three days later.
Yeon Ji-an’s funeral was held at Seokgyeongjang.
When the Jeongseung’s dog dies, there is a huge crowd of mourners, but when the Jeongseung dies, the number of mourners decreases.
There were not many visitors because there was no longer a royal family and Lee Man-yang, the previous owner of Seopungpyoguk, had passed away.
A small funeral was held with the participation of the daughter Lee Seol-ah’s family, the head of Seopungpyoguk, and the general of Namgungse.
After the funeral, Yeon Ji-an was buried alongside Lee Man-yang in Seokgyeongjang Gasan.
Somehow, the mountain was turned into a family graveyard, but Lee Seol-ah, who inherited Seokgyeongjang, actually liked it.
That night.
Around midnight, a man fell as lightly as a feather from Seokgyeongjang’s mountainside.
A long time ago, he was linked to Namcheon, which was known to have been blessed with good fortune.
With his sorrowful eyes, he gazed at the grave of his daughter, whom he had raised with great care.
My daughter happily accepted the human bondage of birth, old age, illness, and death.
Only heaven knows whether he did it because he did not have the confidence to achieve enlightenment like Namgung-yeon or because he wanted to die as a human being.
Yeonjeokha caressed the tombstone for a while and then moved to Namgungyeon’s tomb.
Instead of the sad feelings I felt at my daughter’s grave, I felt a sense of confusion.
The tombs of Namgung-yeon and her daughter look the same on the outside, but their meaning is completely different.
Yeon Jian existed as a demon god in the upper world, but ended up as his own daughter.
On the other hand, Namgung-yeon started out as his own wife… … I don’t know how it will end in the end.
As she lives as a immortal immortal, she will meet new relationships.
The ninety years that I lived as a human would be nothing more than the blink of an eye for a immortal.
Namgung Yeon one day became a wise woman of the nine heavens, then Shastra Parakti… … . She will advance to a higher realm than that and she will be called by another name.
For Shastra Parakti, the time she lived as a wise woman of the Nine Heavens would have been nothing more than a blink of an eye.
“haha… … .”
Yeonjeokha laughed hollowly.
There is no way Namgoongyeon, who possesses transcendental wisdom, did not know that.
Did Namgung-yeon really practice monasticism because he did not want to be seen dying of old age?
I don’t even know if I know what a couple’s relationship is.
He suddenly thought back to the years he had lived with Namgung-yeon.
They met for the first time when they were young, reunited later, traveled around Gangho together, got married, and lived in Seokgyeongjang.
What she felt from her childhood – something she had never seen before – was the affection of her mother.
It later turned into a deep love, and as I turned 50, it became a deep affection.
I thought the deep affection was the same for a long time and would never change.
Then he suddenly realized that he was obsessed with Namgung-yeon, who had become a immortal.
It is clear that I am obsessed, as I feel betrayed every time I think of the Nine Heavenly Wise Women and Shastra Parakti.
He thought that just because he was married for a short time in this life, she would be his wife forever.
My appetite is bitter.
Even though I found out the cause, my mood did not improve.
He stood blankly in front of Namgung-yeon’s grave and turned around lonely.
Namgung-yeon had already left for the path of immortality, but he had not yet been able to let her go.
Even though he was not very intelligent, Namgung-yeon’s feelings were even worse.
He decided to be satisfied with that for now.
The rest – given to demigods and immortals – will be solved by the time of eternal life.
Yeonjeokha, who had soared so high with the divine law of Eogi Chungso, flew into the western sky.
***
Ho Kwang-seong.
Wudang Mountain.
Yeonjeokha visited the shrine of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, not far from Oryonggung Palace.
I first went to the ‘Fourth Heaven’ here about 60 years ago.
Namgung-yeon broke away from the golden line and left for Seong-gye, and after finishing his daughter’s funeral, he went wherever he could and came to this place.
Neither Namgung Yeon nor his daughter ever asked them to go to the ‘fourth heaven’.
However, the ‘place where father is needed’ that the daughter spoke of was ‘the fourth heaven’.
The Nine Heavenly Wise Woman’s shrine was in worse condition than it was sixty years ago.
The wooden statue of the wise woman of nine heavens was now rotted and falling apart in some places.
It seemed like the shrine would be torn down sooner or later.
Yeonjeokha, who was looking around the inside of the shrine with confused eyes, took out incense from the Mahadam (space warehouse) and lit it.
Soon, he put incense into a heavily rusted incense burner and recited the ‘Taesangjeongil Advent Mantra’ as before.
Sixty years ago, the Nine Heavenly Wise Woman descended, but now there has been no change.
I waited until all the incense burned out, but in the end, the wise woman of Gucheon did not appear.
‘huh?’
Yeonjeokha looked around once again with a perplexed look on his face.
However, there was no sign of the wise woman of nine heavens descending anywhere in the old shrine.
‘It shouldn’t be like this…’ … .’
I thought that if I earnestly recite the ‘Taesangjeongil Advent Divine Mantra’ at the shrine of the Nine Heavenly Wise Woman, the Nine Heavenly Wise Woman would descend.
Didn’t the wise woman of nine heavens say about sixty years ago, ‘Your wind has reached me’?
‘Taesangjeongil Advent Sinju’ is one of the esoteric techniques of Taeilgwan, where the famous cult leader used to work.
Taeilgwan’s gurus used to meet the gods through that spell.
If Yang Yeo-ryeong (the mother of eight emperors) had not met the ‘unknown god’ through that spell and founded the Yumyeong Church, Taeilgwan would still remain in Gomyeongsan Mountain.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who remembered the famous cult leader and Red Moon, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I even memorized the ‘spell to communicate with God’ and prayed to meet her, but the wise woman of nine heavens did not appear.
Suddenly, I remembered that I got lost while going to warn Shaolin Temple about Namgung-cheon’s incident.
While resting in a tent near an old shrine to the god of land, the shrine suddenly caught fire.
In the flames, the Nine Heavenly Wise Woman appeared.
What is needed to meet the wise woman of nine heavens is not her shrine, a spell, or an earnest wish.
It is clear that the wise woman of Gucheon can only meet if she wants to.
It was a bit frustrating and unfair, but I couldn’t deny the reality.
Even though he has the abilities of a demi-god, his essence is only that of a human.
“Looks like you’re busy?”
Yeonjeokha roughly cleared the space and lay down in the middle of the shrine.
I was unable to rest as I was watching my daughter’s death and funeral from afar, and a flood of water came upon me.
“Hey.”
Hearing the sound of someone shaking him awake, he raised his shaking upper body.
“Gucheonhyeonnyeo?”
While I was in a half-asleep state, Gucheon Wise Woman’s name came out first.
However, the person looking down at him was not the wise woman of Gucheon, but a middle-aged woman.
Behind the middle-aged woman, an old woman frowned and grumbled.
“no way! Why does a young man with all four limbs fall asleep in a shrine? When you go down the mountain, there are a lot of guesthouses. Anyway, since there is no one to manage it, dogs or cows… … .”
Yeonjeokha, who I couldn’t hear, said something.
“Grandma, I’m not a dog or a cow, I’m a human?”
Instead of feeling sorry, the old woman raised her voice.
“Why is this pale young person doing that at the shrine? Is it because you don’t know where the shrine is? It is a magical place where Namcheon and Gucheon Hyeonnyeo met! Anyway, I don’t know what’s important these days. “If you wake up, why are you looking at me instead of rushing out?”
“Oh, yes.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha went outside, the old woman and the middle-aged woman offered food for the ancestral rite and prayed earnestly.
Yeonjeokha couldn’t think of a place to go right now, so he just stared blankly at the sky.
After Namgung-yeon left for the world of heaven and her daughter died, her heart had no place to go.
At that time, an old woman from the shrine called him.
“Look here.”
“Me?”
In response to the old woman’s polite words, I looked around as if to show off.
“Yes, you. “There’s someone else here besides you.”
“The way he spoke was different from when he was at the shrine, so I thought he was talking to someone else.”
“That’s because you fell asleep inside the shrine.”
The old woman’s tone became harsh again.
A middle-aged woman who was watching from the side hurriedly intervened between the old woman and the young man.
“Mom, calm down… … . I’ll tell you. Confucius, can I call you Confucius?”
“does not matter.”
Yeonjeokha shrugged his shoulders.
The middle-aged woman looked the young man up and down and continued speaking.
“It looks like there’s nowhere else to go, is that right?”
“why?”
Then the old woman could not stand it anymore and came out.
“Why! We’re afraid they might touch our ancestral rite food! If you are hungry and want to touch the ancestral rite food, I will give you something to eat, so follow me. “What are you going to do?”
I looked alternately at the old woman and the middle-aged woman.
Seeing that he gave food to a stranger in his first encounter, it didn’t seem like he had a bad disposition.
‘Since they are such people, they must come up here this morning and offer a ancestral rite, right?’
After thinking that far, Yeonjeokha nodded.
“Well, as long as you give me something to eat. “I’ll follow you.”
“Ah, how shameless a young person is.”
The old woman said a word to the young man, then turned around and walked down the mountain path.
“Don’t feel bad. No matter what you say, you are a person who does not just let poor people go. Oh, that doesn’t mean Confucius is like that.”
After speaking, the middle-aged woman followed behind the old woman.
Yeonjeokha tilted his head and walked away.
‘Do I look pitiful?’
After going down the mountain for about half an hour (1 hour), we came across a small village with about 30 households.
There were no shops or stores, so it felt like a slash-and-burn village.
The old woman and the middle-aged woman entered a house that looked quite large.
At that moment, a boy and girl who appeared to be teenagers were out in the yard and approached a middle-aged woman.
The clever-looking boy glanced at the unfamiliar young man and said.
“Whew! Those things are all superstitions. “Don’t you know that Confucius stayed away from gods with great power?”
Then the old woman slapped the boy on the back. I scolded him and hit him loudly.
“Are you talking about Confucius, Mencius, and those who only have snouts, but ignoring what this grandmother said?”
“Ouch! grandma! They say that things like Gucheonhyeonnyeo and Namcheon are all superstitions. What is happening in a world where even a martial arts expert can get out of the picture with just one shot from a bird’s gun? … .”
“What about this guy?”
When the old woman raised her hand again, the boy ran behind his sister.
A middle-aged woman who was watching Jo-son’s fight said to the boy.
“You stop too. “If your grandmother and mother wish you and your sister the best, you can’t thank them, so what are you doing to embarrass yourself in front of guests?”
The boy’s sister, who was glancing at the young man, asked cautiously.
“By the way, mother, who is the guest?”
The old woman who was having a nervous war with her grandson answered one step faster than the middle-aged woman.
“It’s not a guest, it’s someone I met at the shrine. He said he hadn’t had breakfast yet, so he brought him over to feed him something. “Where is your father?”
“It’s in the backyard. “You’re fixing a broken wall.”
“okay? So-ok, please help her mother and give that person something to eat. And Soryong, you go and read the text. “If you don’t want to suffer like your father when you grow up, you have to study hard.”
Even though the middle-aged woman and So-ok headed to the kitchen, the boy named So-ryong did not move.
The old woman, who was looking at her grandson with disapproving eyes, said to the young man:
“If you wait here for a while, your daughter-in-law and granddaughter will soon bring you something to eat.”
After speaking, the old woman walked towards the backyard.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was standing with a puzzled look on his face, spoke to the lounging boy.
“Aren’t you going to study writing?”
“Am I going to go in at the top?”
“Then you should read harder. “Ignorant people won’t even write it down.”
“A top guard warrior must be proficient in martial arts rather than studying writing. “I will become a bodyguard.”
“So are you learning anything?”
At that moment, the boy, Soryong, looked left and right and spoke softly.
“No. So, I’m planning to run away to Gyunhyeon soon. “First, I will save money at a guest house or at a base, and then I will learn martial arts at a cheap military officer.”
“You’re saying you’re going to become a beggar.”
“Wow, this guy. “You return the favor with evil words?”
“I don’t know what grace is, but I haven’t received it yet.”
As soon as he finished speaking, So-ok came out holding a plate of food.
I sat down on the veranda and started eating.
When he finished eating and was rinsing his mouth with cold water, the old woman returned with a middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man made eye contact with the unfamiliar young man, he asked directly.
“Looking at his behavior, he doesn’t seem to be a thief or a wanderer. What is he doing?”
