Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1498



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1498. You must find an object with magical powers.

When Ryu Cheong-woon whined that his ‘DP is low’, Yeon-jeok offered words of comfort that were not comforting.

“That’s because that’s where the Triads work hard. There’s so much to work hard for in the world. When I saw the movie, it was no joke. There’s no business before a gun.”

This is what I said, recalling my experiences on the continent of Rodina.

However, Ryu Cheong-woon, a mutant, did not agree with Yeon Jeok-ha’s words.

“Total? Brother, you can dodge bullets starting from D2,000. Our Hongryeonbang’s main family’s Yongdu is at 2,000. I wouldn’t even dream of that… … . I wish I could get exactly over 500 million. Phew!”

Ryu Cheong-woon let out a sigh and then slowly got up from his seat, perhaps feeling embarrassed.

“Go to sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Oh, okay. Bye.”

After Ryu Cheong-woon left, Yeon-jeok-ha, who was left alone, squatted down in front of the TV again.

A reporter was standing in front of the Black Spear’s control line, the pinwheel in his hand spinning like crazy.

– Do you see? A strong wind is pouring out from the Black Spear.

Yeonjeokha tilted his head when he saw that.

Because such a phenomenon did not occur in the passage of the Abyss.

“If you keep doing that, something might pop out?”

If that was a door leading somewhere, like a passage into the Abyss, then it could very well be so.

But Black Spear remained silent until the on-site reporting was over.

After a moment, the screen changed from Black Spear to scientists.

It was hard to understand what he was saying, but I didn’t change the news channel.

First of all, to understand how the world works.

***

It has been three days since Yeonjeokha came to Hongryeon Store.

During that time, I became close with all the employees of Hongryeon Trading Company.

He became acquainted with not only the Samhaphoe but also the ordinary employees employed by the company.

The civilian staff treated Yeonjeokha kindly.

This is because he is the vice president’s nephew and is on friendly terms with the triad staff.

As the fourth day approached, Elio left Hongryeon Trading Company and gradually expanded his sphere of activity.

I started walking around the Jangwan-gu area.

Of course, there was another purpose.

He searched for a conduit until the soles of his feet sweated.

The reason is that Gucheonhyeonnyeo did not respond to his earnest calls.

He wanted to meet a modern Taoist priest and get advice on the matter.

But strangely enough, the conduit was nowhere to be seen.

It was mind-boggling considering the sheer size of the city.

I stopped people on the street and asked them, but they all said they didn’t know and just walked by.

I realized one surprising thing along the way.

It was that ‘people do not worship Buddha or gods as they used to.’

That was also the reason why temples and Taoist temples were not easily visible.

But they say that if you have the intelligence, you can move heaven.

After five days of searching for a Taoist temple, he finally found one in a shabby alley on the outskirts of the city.

“It is a mysterious and wonderful observation.”

Looking at the advertising slogan written on the sign, it feels like a fortune teller’s shop.

However, for Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been searching for the Taoist temple for five days, Hyeonmyo-gwan was like an oasis in the desert.

Hyenmyo Hall.

The head of the Hyenmyo Hall, Muryang Jinin Wei Gunmyeong, responded to the young man’s question with an ambiguous expression.

“So I need to meet Gucheonhyeonnyeo… … but I don’t get an answer when I call her. What should I do?”

“yes.”

Because the other person was an old man with white hair, he treated him with respect without any hesitation.

“The immortals aren’t the kind of beings that just appear when you call them. Aren’t immortals your friends?”

“That’s true, but… … Before, she would appear when I called her. But after Gucheonhyeonnyeo went against the laws of the universe, she stopped appearing. I’m worried that she might have been destroyed after receiving a thousand eons or something… … .”

“What in the universe did the Nine Heavenly Women go against?”

The infinitely wise man looked at the young man with absurd eyes.

I was happy to have a rare guest, but he seemed to have lost his mind.

“They say that if you send someone from the lower world to the upper world, you could suffer a thousand years because of it.”

“Who said that?”

“He is the god of the upper world.”

“So who?”

“Do you know Mana Phtras?”

“Hmm!”

A heavy sigh flowed from the mouth of the Infinite Truthful One.

The Muryang Jinnin, who had been glancing at the young man several times, asked cautiously.

“Is there a hospital you go to?”

“Hospital? There isn’t one?”

“Do you usually hear strange sounds or see spirits or anything like that?”

“no?”

“That’s right. You said you met the god of the upper world a little while ago… … When did you meet him?”

“About eight days ago.”

“Then it’s very recent… … Haa! I think you should go to the hospital, not the ward.”

“My problem is not important. I am curious as to why the Nine Heavenly Women do not respond to the call. What do you think, Taoist? Do you think she perished in a thousand eons? Or is there another reason?”

“Ugh, this isn’t the time for this… … .”

“Master.”

“But why?”

“I’ll take care of my own problems. So please answer my questions.”

In response to the earnest words of the young man, the immeasurable Jinin quietly searched his memories.

Apart from the stereotype that he was crazy, the young man’s words were not ordinary.

The phrase ‘going against the laws of the universe’ and ‘a thousand years’ had a strange resemblance.

After a long time, the mouth of the Infinite Truth opened.

“A thousand eons is nothing but the law of cause and effect. However, since the level determines life and death, even immortals are afraid of it. However, it is not all bad.”

“Is there anything good?”

“It is often said that a crisis is an opportunity. I have heard that if you overcome a thousand eons, you can rise to a higher level.”

“That doesn’t matter. How can there be no response when you have ascended to a higher level?”

“… … .”

When no proper answer came to mind, the infinitely wise man stroked his beard.

Then he asked again as if to confirm.

“You said that the Nine Heavenly Women appeared before that?”

“yes.”

“When, where, how?”

“When I was six years old, in a warehouse, through a mirror called the Nine Heavenly Women’s Mirror.”

“That’s it!”

Suddenly, the Infinite Realm struck the table with a ‘thud!’ sound.

As Yeonjeokha blinked in surprise, Muryang Jinin continued speaking.

“At first, you said that Gucheonhyeonnyeo lost her magical powers?”

“yes.”

“That’s it.”

“What is it?”

“That’s because the power is the problem.”

“What is Taoism?”

“Look at modern society. There is no one who seeks God. People these days do not believe in Buddha or immortals. Do you know what people believe in these days?”

“I don’t know.”

“Idol.”

“Idol?”

“Yeah, the young people who dance and sing on TV. They’re called idols.”

“People believe that?”

Yeonjeokha’s mouth fell open at the unexpected words.

Do you believe in such celebrities instead of Buddha or gods? Are you crazy?

“Do you know what idol means?”

“What is it?”

“It means idol. It means a fake god, not a true god.”

“ah!”

I nodded my head involuntarily at the profound words of the boundless sage.

“People have become blinded by such idols and no longer seek out the immortals. Do you know how many Taoist temples there are in our Shiwenshi?”

“How many are there?”

“There are two. On the other hand, there are over fifty karaoke rooms. The spirit of China is rotting because of the Koreans. There are two Taoist temples, but fifty karaoke rooms that worship idols! Do you think this is normal?”

“Um, but what does that have to do with Taoism?”

“Where do you think gods and immortals get their power?”

“Master, there are many things I don’t know, so please don’t ask questions and just tell me. Thank you.”

“People. To be exact, believers. The power of faith is the source of magical power. A god that no one remembers is as good as dead.”

“… … .”

Yeonjeokha’s eyes sparkled.

I have a feeling that something is ticklish in my head, but I can’t quite figure it out.

“Most of the gods of Taoism have been forgotten. Now, you only have to go to a traditional Taoist temple to find their names. Gucheonhyeonnyeo is a famous female sage, so she’s still in good health… … I heard she lost her Taoist powers because of that dimension or something?”

“yes.”

“What will happen if I lose my power and have no believers?”

“Don’t ask, just tell.”

“I’m saying this because I’m barely breathing and I can’t communicate with you.”

“Then what should I do?”

“We need to find the object imbued with magical power. That mirror! The Nine Heavenly Women’s Mirror is not an ordinary object. Its name itself is Nine Heavenly Women’s Mirror. If the mirror has magical power, even Nine Heavenly Women will respond.”

“Ah! I see! You are truly amazing, Master.”

I couldn’t help but be truly amazed by the insight of the boundless sage.

It feels like discovering a lighthouse light in the dark sea.

I had been feeling lost for so long, but when I heard that I could go to Seokgyeongjang and look for the Gucheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong, I felt like I was flying.

The infinitely wise man nodded with a relieved expression.

“Okay, now go find the mirror. Should I write you a talisman to help you find it?”

Yeonjeok, who had trained at Oryong Palace in the past, knew the effectiveness of the talisman and did not hesitate to use it.

“yes.”

“It’s five hundred yuan (about 92,000 won).”

Yeonjeok hurriedly took out his wallet.

However, after buying a suit and some miscellaneous items, I only had 300 yuan (about 55,000 won) left.

“I’m a little short on money.”

“How much do you have?”

“Three hundred yuan.”

“Give me that.”

Yeonjeok quickly took out the money and placed it on the table.

The Muryang Jinnin took out a talisman he had made in advance from a drawer and exchanged it for money.

“Didn’t you say you would write it for me?”

“You only paid three hundred yuan. The effect is similar, so don’t worry and take it.”

“What is the name of this talisman?”

“It’s a wish-fulfilling talisman. If you keep it on you, you will see results.”

Yeonjeokha looked down at the talisman with an ambiguous expression.

But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t feel any mysterious powers.

“What are you looking at? Is this your first time seeing an amulet?”

“no.”

Although I felt uneasy about the relationship, I got up and got the talisman because of the confident attitude of the Muryang Jinin.

***

Hongryeon Trading Company.

The president’s office.

3pm.

President Dongja Geon and Vice President Jin Gwa-wol sat across from each other at a table.

When President Dongjagun threw the documents on the table, Jin Gwa-wol asked.

“What is it?”

“Report on the Yeonjeokha.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Read it.”

At Dongjageon’s gesture, Jin Gwa-wol picked up the document and quickly read it.

After a while, when Jin Guowue put down the documents, Dong Ziqian said.

“I thought it was a bit strange that someone with memory problems would give such precise addresses. As you can see, the stone pavilion was completely burned down during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1977) and has never been rebuilt.”

Dongjageon, who had said that, pressed his temples with his fingers.

The report stated that ‘during the Cultural Revolution, the people burned the books in the library, and even the stone scriptures were lost.’

That was 1977.

It happened 57 years ago.

There is no way that a twenty-five-year-old Yeon-jeok-ha could have lived in the Seokgyeongjang that burned down 57 years ago.

This was an obvious lie before the memory issue.

“After that incident, the Yeons left Seokgyeongjang and immigrated to Korea… … Why would our Yeonssi lie in a way that would be easily found out?”

“I don’t know. But it is true that Yeonjeokha saved my life. If it weren’t for him, I would have died at the hands of Jang Rakbang.”

“Yes, it’s true that he’s crazy. What I’m curious about is why he brought up Seokgyeongjang. Did he visit there when he was wandering around crazy? Since they’re both Yeons, he might have wanted to believe it was his house… … No, was he really Yeons in the first place?”

“It is clearly written on the seal that it is a love relationship… … .”

“Stop talking about that ridiculous badge that can’t even be used as a prop for a martial arts drama.”

“… … .”

Jin Gwa-wol also kept his mouth shut, probably thinking that it was a ridiculous excuse.

“I promised, so I’ll make you an ID card. But as soon as I get the ID card, send him out. And make sure the people in the company keep their distance from him.”

“yes.”

Jin Gwa-wol answered coolly.

Considering Dongjageon’s usually cool-headed personality, that was a lot of leniency.
