Episode 401
Kung!
Following Hwanggu’s guidance, I went to Hexakyeongdoksa Temple and felt sothing special.
[Hmm, I see. If Eungryong said so… Is it coming in the end…]
[It doesn’t matter how many humans die. In the end, I will be able to go back once I finish my promise. But you…]
[I see. Is that what you decided in the end?]
[Humans are always just humans.]
A voice that seed to ring in the head rather than the ears.
It was definitely different from Jeon Eum. Rather, it was similar to what Eungryong was saying to Jin Cheonhee.
And this voice was one that Jin Cheon-hee was also familiar with.
‘Yuho?’
As I cautiously approached, there stood a huge hexagonal serpent the size of a house and a man with long golden hair.
His facial features were clearly the sa as Yuho’s, but his eyes were fully open instead of squinted like usual, and above all, that intimidating feeling was not sothing that could co from a person.
Normally, he would have noticed his presence, but he seed to be deeply concentrating on his conversation with the Hexagonal Spirit Doktor.
[It’s a prophecy. Are you saying you want to leave a prophecy to that person? You, who will beco a dragon one day, would go to such lengths for humans… Oh, I see.]
Yuho looked back.
This was exactly where Jin Cheon-hee was.
“Are you coming soon, you brat?”
“Hahaha since when did you notice Yuho?”
“Do you know what to do?”
The clothes that Yoo Ho was wearing were not the clothes that the commander-in-chief normally wears at Baeklin Uigak.
Rather, it is an old-fashioned and elegant outfit.
However, the way it fluttered in the wind or the way the sleeves swayed did not feel like it was woven from fabric of this world.
‘Is this a different side of Yuho…?’
However, Jin Cheon-hee never revealed her expression and spoke solemnly.
“No matter what Yuho Yuho shows to , I believe that Yuho is human. So, you have to do human research with .”
“Do you see it? This is the kind of person he is. They say it’s more vicious than a leech. “Why do you make such a precious prophecy for this guy?”
“It’s okay Yuho. “Yooho, you look great today.”
Professor Jin was afraid of graduate students graduating.
I get goosebumps because if I admit that this guy is not human, he will dance and fly into the sky like a fairy with wings.
“This man is crazy. Do you see that I am a human being with nothing but a desire for research and a desire to eat?”
“It’s okay, Yuho. I love you…. kueeeeek!”
That mont. Yuho grabbed Jin Cheonhee by the collar with incredible speed and shook her off.
“This crazy leech is going to rip off my labor until the end?!”
Where had gone the out-of-this-world elegance that had been visible just now? The act of slitting the collar as it let out a stream of murderous energy was itself a signal of intent to kill.
“Yooho, calm down… keuok…. Yuho! Gagging! “It’s not because I have malicious intent!”
Hiss, hiss!
The Hexagonal Spirit Viper also shook his head in surprise.
It seems like he’s worried that if this continues, he’ll have to clean up the invoice.
When Jin Cheon-hee pleaded with desperate determination, Yu-ho only then let go of Jin Cheon-hee’s collar.
Empty!
Jin Cheon-hee doesn’t even try to fall on purpose and just rolls on the floor, pretending to be as pitiful as possible.
‘Even though I’ve beco this strong, I’m still caught by Yuho.’
If you look at long-length martial arts novels, fighters from heaven often co out at the end and fight the main character. Is Yuho really that strong?
Jin Cheonhee thought.
Hiss hiss!
“I understand. “I will calm down.”
Eventually, Yuho sighed as he saw Jin Cheonhee intentionally whining.
This guy beca even more handso after crossing the firing line.
When I look at that plain face, I feel annoyed.
The most incomprehensible person in the world.
Whoosh whoosh!
“First of all, if I were to interpret it, they say they are thankful that the location of the wind field has changed as a result.”
“hmm?”
Jin Cheon-hee widened her eyes.
Contrary to his innocent face, the blue light in his eyes began to reveal many frightening things.
“Well, the last wind farm was close to the historical site, right?”
“This is a temple that existed in the past when the Hexagonal Spiritual Serpent was worshiped as a deity. In the past, humans worshiped spirits as gods. “It is a temple built for the Hexagram Spiritual Servant, and the Hexagonal Spiritual Servant promised to stay here and protect this land as long as this temple exists.”
Are you talking about the pile of leaning buildings in front of you right now?
It is clear that the shape of the house is still maintained, but it has also been eroded by a huge tree and is becoming old and crumbling.
Even when it rained, it couldn’t stop it and it just beca moss and mold.
The altar itself was old and worn, so it did not show its original respect.
“I guess people are now afraid and not worshipful? Of course, I respect you as a guardian.”
“The form of faith has definitely disappeared. But yes. Humans forget, but we rember. “Without forgetting.”
Yuho looked at this ruined place with bitter eyes.
“It’s foolish, but my emotions are always so hot that it makes sign a contract. I limited it to one person, but the Hexagonal Spiritualist signed a contract with this employee. “I will protect this temple as long as it continues.”
“But you couldn’t get involved in the Yunnan people’s fight.”
“It’s a bloody fight between those who drank Yunnan’s water and ate Yunnan’s fruits. that.”
Hissing – I
guess it’s not my mood that makes the Hexagonal Serpent’s voice feel particularly bitter.
Yuho said.
“Well, whatever it is, it’s good. Thanks to this, the temple was protected from the dead’s taint, so that was it. So he wants to give you a prophecy in return.”
“prophecy?”
“Since ancient tis, snakes have been a symbol of insight. As a result, the snake spirit has a stronger ability to foresee the future than any other spirit.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“Before that… if this temple can be liberated if it collapses, I can destroy it.”
Hissing….
The six-pointed poisonous snake cried softly and then said sothing complicated to Yuho.
“Well, I guess it’s a place with a lot of mories.”
A hundred years, no, two hundred years…. Maybe it was during the ti of the fallen Dali Dynasty.
Humans forget, but animals cannot forget and remain here.
Despite the invitation to liberate them, they defended their territory without hesitation.
“But if it continues like this, I will benefit too much…?”
Jin Cheon-hee felt the wound from the snake’s breath.
It was the pain caused by the sweetness of mories.
It was a deep inflammation of things that could not be returned.
However, as Yuho said, he could not forget it or let it go and was guarding this place.
Jin Cheon-hee spoke indifferently, deliberately trying to avoid hurting the wound as much as possible.
“Okay then, let’s do it like this.”
What ca out next was an unexpected story.
“Is there anything you like? “What I want to eat.”
Hiss?
* * *
It was a banquet on a moonlit night.
Jin Cheon-hee made alcohol herself.
At best, it was an expedient thod using the magic I had learned at Wanong, but it still tasted good.
The huge body of the six-pointed viper was not enough to quench its thirst.
Still, he sohow managed to fill it up by additionally stealing the liquor warehouse that Oh Dok-moon originally had.
Others don’t call.
It was a banquet solely for Hwang-gu, Noe-jin Yu-ho, and Yuk-gak Yeong-doksa.
The ruins eroded by the trees swelled in the shape of the moon.
“Hey, eat!”
When Jin Tianxi threw a huge bucket of alcohol, the Hexagonal Spirit Viper swallowed it happily.
The Yuk-Gak Yeong-Doksa saw the king of the past Dali Kingdom in Jin Cheon-hee.
He also treated himself to this banquet.
No one worships themselves anymore.
Spiritual objects are rely a ans to obtain inner power.
Still, since he has lived for a long ti, no human dares to be greedy.
Thousands of musicians and tens of thousands of people no longer existed.
Where did the entertainers who danced for him go?
The Dali Kingdom is now nowhere to be found and the Land God has beco nothing more than a spirit being.
After drinking alcohol, getting drunk on the moon, and listening to Jin Cheon-hee’s chilhyeongeum, the Hexagonal Spiritualist thought.
Ah, this is my next mory.
If we live a thousand years with the mories of Dali, we will live a thousand years with these mories as well.
It was a story that would continue as long as he didn’t die.
It was also the terrible fate of spiritual creatures.
處世若大夢 (Cheoseiyadaemong): Everything in the world is like a big dream.
胡爲勞其生 (Howino Gisaeng): Why is that life so tiring?
所以終日醉 (Soijongilchwi): So I’m drunk all day long.
浩歌待明月(浩歌待明月): I sang cheerfully and waited for the bright moon.
曲盡已忘情(Gokjinimanjeong): When the song ended, I had already forgotten that feeling.
I took out so of Lee Baek’s poetry.
Did I skip a few lines in the middle while I was drunk or did I not do it on purpose?
Jin Cheon-hee strumd the strings and humd a song.
Of what use is a human song to forget to a spirit creature that cannot forget?
That feeling was also conveyed to the Hexagonal Spiritualist.
Eventually, the Hexagonal Spirit Venerable must have made up his mind and took out his precious gem from sowhere.
I thought this was okay.
Humans forget things quickly, but spirits tend to rember things for a long ti.
Both bad and good.
So, if even one good thing remains as a mory, that alone was good for the snake.
That is why I will continue to stay on this earth and watch over people.
Now, at the end of this banquet, it is ti to return the favor.
The snake realized.
Look, look, eyes of the future.
We are all descendants of dragons, so we will crawl through ti, biting our tails.
Our transgressions are of the past, and our tongues are of the future.
A whisper of the future to this young man.
Shhh –
The jewel began to emit bright light and various colors.
yet.
That’s it –
it shook as if it was about to break, gave off light, and then completely shattered.
Clang!
Jin Cheon-hee is surprised and stops riding Chilhyeongeum.
Yuho said.
“What is the reason you treat so well? Anyway… you innocent spirit creature.”
I don’t know if I can call the giant hexagonal poisonous snake naive.
Isn’t there a record of swallowing Hwa-gyeong’s unmanned island sent from Geumhyeolbang in the past?
Smoke cos out from inside the broken jewel. The Hexagonal Spirit Viper inhaled it and trembled for a while.
Finally, when I opened my eyes.
Tears fell from the huge eyes of the six-pointed viper.
Yuho must have been embarrassed, too, and his body stiffened for a long ti.
Eventually, he relayed to Jin Cheon-hee what he had heard from the Hexagram Spiritual Master.
“How many more winters would you like to see?”
“…?!”
…It was a prophecy from soone I had been following since my previous life.
-How many more winters do you want to see in the future?
At that ti, Jin Cheon-hee answered, ‘More is more,’ and the grandmother looked at Jin Cheon-hee with very sad eyes.
Although it was different from a human’s, the snake’s eyes were looking at Jin Cheonhee with the sa expression.
Yuho said.
“They say that from here on, the prophecy must only be delivered directly to you.”
“how…?”
“Beopgu, since you’ve already broken it and eaten it, let’s just put it on your forehead.”
At those words, Jin Cheon-hee obediently placed her forehead against the forehead of the giant six-pointed viper.
At that mont, the voice of the Hexagonal Spirit Viper rang in my head.
