Episode 343: Tell Your Sister (3)
Yu Seol calmly waited for what the monk in front of him said.
I could have just ignored it and run away, but for so reason I felt uneasy.
How upset must he be that his ten years of silent ditation were in vain because of him?
I wanted to compensate in so way.
“So what can I do for you?”
“As a sign of repentance, please perform the face-wall ditation with .”
What is face wall practice?
It was a practice of achieving enlightennt by sitting in a dark cave all day facing a wall.
“yes? “The headwall?”
The monk in front of suddenly put his hands together and said.
“You can’t sit still even for a mont. “By practicing the face wall, you will have a peaceful mind, so it will definitely be helpful.”
The problem was ti.
Ordinary people cannot overco boredom and find it difficult to last even one session.
“How long?”
“Stay with the Hinayana for four days.”
The rumor began with a sigh.
Why sit looking at a wall when you don’t have enough ti to go out and have fun? And that lasted four days.
Just imagining it made dizzy from boredom.
“Ha… that long?”
“Pastor Bodhidharma sat for nine years. “Four days are just a mont.”
Yoo Seol’s tightly closed lips stuck out like a duck.
Regret is flooding in like a flood.
But how can I buy it now?
“Is it just four days?”
“That’s right. Do not think of practice as penance. “Once you complete the four days of penance, the Lord will gain new enlightennt.”
“phew. all right. Instead, it’s only been four days.”
“Amitabha Buddha. You made a great decision. Please go quickly.”
Yoo Seol’s shoulders slumped, like an animal being led to a slaughterhouse.
After a while I followed him in silence. Suddenly, a question arose.
“Why are you going this way? “Isn’t the Myeongbyeok Cave on the other side?”
“Originally, it would be right to do it in Myeonbyeokgul, but other monks there would feel uncomfortable giving donations.”
“? why?”
“I heard everything. “I heard he played a prank on the monks practicing there yesterday too.”
“Hmph. That was sothing I played with. “How bored would you have been sitting still all day?”
The monk kept rolling the prayer beads in his hand as if he couldn’t calm down.
“Amitabha Buddha. “We are going to Dalma-dong.”
“Where is Dharma-dong?”
It was a rumor that covered the entire temple structure of Shaolin Temple, but I had never heard of Bodhidharma Cave.
If so, it must be outside the temple.
As expected, the monk in front of was looking at the high mountain peak opposite.
“It’s at the top of the peak you see over there. “This is the cave where Bodhidharma practiced ditation.”
“Are there people there too?”
“no. “It has been abandoned for a long ti, so no one will be there.”
What this ant was that for four days I would not be able to feel any signs of being popular.
It wasn’t really good news, but I decided to think of Yuseol as a good thing.
‘It’s only four days…’
Haven’t there been many tis before when I ditated for ntal training?
Sotis, I sat in a trance for a very long ti.
It was a ti when I was lost in thought.
“Where are you going baby!?”
Coincidentally, I t my grandfather on the way.
Next to him, Venerable Bangjang Jeonghye was seen taking steps together.
“Grandpa, I’m going to do myeonbyeok training. What should I do….”
“You? Head wall practice?”
Jin-san Yu was surprised, but Jeong-hye, who was next to him, seed even more surprised.
At that ti, the monk leading the sermon put his hands together and said to him:
“Disciple Wonwoon ets Monk Bangjang. “What the donor said is true, and he will stay with in Dharma-dong for four days.”
“hmm. Are you practicing silence on behalf of the temple? “There’s still one day left, right?”
“The disciple was not good at practicing and was deceived by evil. “I will try to repent through ditation.”
“Hmm! May the rcy of Buddha be with you….”
Jeonghye left a aningful comnt and walked away with Jinsan Yu.
Recently, the two seed to have beco closer as they practiced martial arts together.
* * *
Dharma Cave was a narrow cave.
As soon as I ca in, I was out of breath.
“What Uncle Bodhidharma said is definitely a lie. “How can I stay here for nine years in frustration?”
Yu Seol, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at the wall and continued to complain.
Next to him, Ambassador Wonwoon answered softly with an expressionless face.
“There is already one person sitting in the chamhoe-dong. “It’s already been over five years.”
Yu Seol could not contain his surprise.
Five years? I couldn’t even imagine how I would have endured that long ti.
“It’s crazy~ It’s crazy~ Are you by any chance the guy sitting at the end?”
The chamhoe-dong is a space where prisoners are confined.
There is only one prison there without bars.
A martial arts expert was sitting in ditation, locking himself there at this very mont.
Even so, I was curious about the inside story.
“When did you enter Charmhoe-dong!? “Entering there is prohibited!”
“It was just a quick look. “But why have you been sitting staring at the wall for five years?”
Wonwoon sighed and said.
“You are punishing yourself. “To wash away the sins of the past.”
“What big mistake did I do?”
“I don’t know. Since you keep your mouth shut, only you will know.”
Yu Seol wanted to know what his story was.
‘I’m curious… I’ll go with my grandpa later and find out.’
But he couldn’t say his plan out loud. If that happens, the nagging will continue again.
Yu Seol, who had made up her mind, soon closed her eyes.
I planned to continue my training in a trance through ditation.
Just four days will pass by in an instant.
However, it was not Ambassador Wonun who would allow it.
“You need to open your eyes. Look at the wall.”
“It’s not like I’m winding it up. “My eyes usually get smaller at night.”
“Uh-huh!!”
When the command to fire was issued, Yu Seol had no choice but to open his eyes.
“Hmph… nag.”
The two sitting side by side just stared at the wall without making a sound.
It felt distinctly different from my usual ditation practice.
There was no focus at all and it seed as if everything in the world had stopped.
How much ti has passed?
At so point, it even created the illusion that the wall beca and I beca the wall.
When boredom reached its peak. An uninvited guest ca into Dharma-dong.
“Ukkikki! “Ukkikki!”
It wasn’t a human sound.
Yu Seol, who was bored at the ti, looked at the entrance out of the corner of her eye.
A small animal with yellow fur was scratching its head and looking at this place.
Yu Seol scread in delight at the cute appearance.
“Wow~ It’s a golden monkey!!”
Ambassador Wonun calmly spoke as if he knew sothing.
“This is Yeongsan Geumhu (靈山金猴), which has been with Shaolin for hundreds of years. “It’s surprising that he hasn’t been seen in recent years.”
“Yeongsan Geumhu?”
“Yes, it is a magical spirit creature with golden fur. “They are highly intelligent and gentle, and will never harm humans.”
“Wow… you look so pretty.”
“If you just leave it alone, it will go back. “Don’t worry about it and focus on your training.”
Yu Seol made eye contact with the golden monkey for a mont with a look of regret.
I wanted to play a little more, but what could I do?
That ti when you send a signal with a glance and soothe your regret.
Suddenly, the golden monkey rolled sothing he was holding in his hand.
The fruit rolling around was none other than nectarines.
Up!
The sight of Yoo Seol holding a nectarine caught my ear.
“Are you giving it to your sister? “Eat?”
Do you really understand what I’m saying? The golden monkey clapped his hands and nodded.
However, it was not Ambassador Wonun who was just watching.
“Please put it away. “You must not eat during training.”
“How about eating so? Are you upset because I was the only one who gave it to you?”
Ambassador Wonun was about to say sothing again.
Sothing flew in from the direction of the entrance and hit him on the back of the head.
Byak-!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a walnut.
It was definitely thrown at him by the Golden Monkey.
Because he was holding his belly button and pretending to laugh at it.
“Ukkikki! “Ukkikki!”
Yoo Seol covered his mouth with one hand to suppress laughter.
On the other hand, Ambassador Wonun looked very displeased.
However, he soon looked at the wall again and continued his practice in a calm manner.
Soon the golden monkey seed to retreat, but it soon reappeared.
And with a bunch of walnuts in my hands.
Wow!
The walnut that flew in again hit the back of Master Wonun’s head, shining brightly as if by mory.
Byak-!!
It was hit so hard that the walnut shell shattered.
Master Wonun groaned, clutching the back of his head with both hands.
“Ah….”
“Are you okay, Mr. Monk?”
“The Hinayana is fine, so continue your training. “When it cos to practice, an ordeal of this magnitude is nothing.”
He sat cross-legged again, not even noticing that the back of his head was bleeding.
But I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Because the golden monkey nad Yeongsan Geumhu kept looking at him.
Even as Master Wonwoon stared at the wall, he did not forget to glance at the guy’s actions.
A little more ti had passed like that.
just as expected.
This ti, walnuts started flying in succession.
Wow! puck-!! Puff-!!
“Ahh!”
Walnuts struck his whole body indiscriminately.
“Ukkikki! “Ukkikki!”
When the situation got to this point, I couldn’t bear the rumors any longer.
I fell sideways holding my belly button.
“Fuhi! Puhihihi.”
Master Wenun’s eyes stared at the golden monkey dancing at the entrance.
Even at a glance, it looked like he was laughing at himself.
No matter how much a monk you are, there is a limit to what you can endure.
He imdiately stood up, looked around, and grabbed the broom he used to clean the cave.
“You wicked monkey!”
Master Wonun, whose eyes rolled back, grabbed a broom and ran towards Yeongsan Geumhu.
Ta-tat-!
However, his light attack was not faster than that of the golden monkey.
Isn’t this a gesture to ask people to co while maintaining a certain distance?
It’s like making fun of yourself.
“Ukkikkiki! “Ukkikkiki!”
Ambassador Wonun was so angry that his breathing beca heavy.
How could you bear that sight? Yuseol giggled and ca next to him.
“That’s why you have to have a kind heart.”
The words of the rumor did not even reach his ears.
Ambassador Wonun urged Yu Seol with eyes full of resentnt.
“What are you doing? “Hurry and catch that evil monkey that is attacking people!”
There was no reason to refuse since the car was just boring.
Yu Seol leisurely chased after the golden monkey with his back turned.
I could have snatched it all at once, but what would be the need?
I was planning on spending as much ti as possible playing around.
“Ukkikki! “Ukkikki!”
The monkey that was jumping up the tree kept gesturing behind its back.
From that appearance, Yoo Seol sensed sothing strange.
“Follow ?”
Is there sothing he wants to show ? I couldn’t understand the aning, but he definitely looked impatient.
Yu Seol increased his speed and chased the golden monkey closer.
