The Shaman Wants Transcendence

25 – To Japan

Jeung is a doll made of straw. Its origin is said to have come from Cheoyong, the main character in the tale of Shilla’s Cheoyong, and perhaps because of the characteristics of the tale, the straw dolls used in Korea had the power to ward off evil, solder evil, and exorcise evil spirits.

‘It’s really good that the effect is doubled if you add Cheoyongmu. Even if the place is small, if you wish with all your heart, how can a secret solution come out?’

Inside the dark vertical cave, the torches and Jeung continued to change their shadows, revealing a bizarre appearance. Even though the wind didn’t blow properly, the torch danced as if it had met a typhoon, and even though Jeung was still in place, the figure continued to move around the cave as if it were moving.

It looked like a real dance.

Just as Jeung, unable to move his body, sends his soul into the shadows to dance, Jeung stretches his arms to and fro and moves like a madman in all directions, moving his legs stiffly and twisting and wandering here and there. It is like a shaman in contact with God.

“Ahᅀᅡᄂᆞᆯ whatdi ᄒᆞᆯ ᅀᅡᄂᆞᆯ ohdi lordgo.

“Cheoyong-ah, they say that Ishiinsaeng (以是人生) speaks mutually.

And along with it, Jinseong’s Cheoyongga resonates, and at the same time, the tape recorder embedded in the center of the straw doll resonates another Cheoyongga with the sound of an instrument.

The inside of the cave has become a small stage, and Jeung has become a play troupe that dances to the music while embracing life.

“Nugojiseo Senio Nugojiseo Senio. Neither the needle nor the thread nor the needle nor the thread. Cheoyong Abilal Nugojiseo Senio.

And on the other side of the shadow dancing like that, the enemy of Cheoyong and the being who would be the opposite of Cheoyong were bound.

It was the human hanging on top of the unrecovered bone fragments.

It was once a trained warrior, but as if something had sped it up, its muscles had disappeared somewhere and it was full of flab. It was nailed to the wall of a damp, fishy cave in the shape of a cross, drawing blood as if an old saint were hanging from it. Was dripping

However, what is unusual is that the upper body is covered with a bag, and only the lower body is exposed outside. His lower body, which had been completely stripped of even his underwear, was trembling as if convulsing, perhaps from the pain.

And a very small sound came out of the man’s mouth.

“Youseung… I said it all… Let it go…”

I don’t know if even moving my tongue is out of my power, or if I’m confused because I can’t breathe properly in a bag that tightly covers my upper body. However, that sound was quieter than the sound of ants shouting and weaker than the sound of water droplets bursting to get away from the stalactites in the cave, so it was only a cry and an echo that could only linger nearby.

But did he even reach that earnest heart?

The tape recorder plugged into Jeung’s chest stopped working, and at the same time, Jinseong’s mouth, which had been constantly talking about Cheoyongga, also shut. And the madly dancing torch also burned calmly as if it were trying to find its place, and everything returned to its place.

“Sśrī śrī mahā śrī su śrī svāhā”.

After Jinseong quietly recited a mantra to Jeung, he grabbed Jeung by the head and walked towards the warrior hanging on the wall.

That buck

That buck

Jinseong stepsWhen he moved it, there was a sound of bones being stepped on and breaking on the floor, but he didn’t care. It is something that ordinary people would get sick from evil spirits and evil spirits angry at the broken remains sending thoughts and curses, but for Jinseong, such a thing was no different from being bitten by mosquitoes.

Rather, the thoughts and curses that did not do their part properly return to them and only inflict double blows.

Ki—Ah!

The power of Jinseong, the power of exorcism possessed by Jeung, and the curse amplified in reverse.

All of that made Jinseong safe from evil spirits and demons. However, if you see something that doesn’t work, it’s normal to get out of your body, but those who have already existed chewing resentment at the bottom of the vertical cave for a long time and have lost their sense are burned like moths rushing into the fire without even thinking about it in the least.

sh*t!

The more the spirit exploded, the more the power of witchcraft was put into the silver coin embedded in Jeung’s head. When the silver coin was kept with the years, it gradually peeled off, and even though it was a cave with only a torch as the light source, it gradually added to its brilliance as if trying to emit light on its own.

Eventually, when Jinseong stepped on most of the bone fragments on the floor and reached the man hanging on the wall, the coin emitted light as if it were a small moon itself, enough to light up the cave at least a little.

“Plague ghost, fiery god. Unclean who carries the plague. Here is Cheoyong. Cheoyong is here to catch and expel you, not a thousand gold or seven pieces of cloth.”

Straw was said to mean ‘variety in a form beneficial to people’.

So, what is beneficial to people and what is harmful to people?

What is beneficial and harmful is determined only by subjective judgment. It is really difficult to get that standard.

If you burn it instead of firewood, and the fire soars as if to pierce the sky, is it really beneficial? Would it be beneficial to make the rope stronger by changing it to tough and sparse? Would it be beneficial if it ripened faster and spoiled the intestines faster?

This ‘beneficial shape’ is really ambiguous, and if you handle it, you can handle it infinitely well, but if you don’t handle it properly, it’s a symbol enough to have a value less than a stone rolling on the floor.

Jinseong had the confidence to handle it well, but this ‘beneficial form’ was a great power and a shackle. Processing was necessary to utilize it in the form one wanted.

Therefore, through this Cheoyongmu, Jinseong achieved what he wanted by rubbing ‘a form beneficial to people’.

A straw becomes a person, and being together with a person puts weight on its presence.

And on the other side, raise the human enemy.

Cheoyong, who is the prototype of Jeung, became a symbol of Byeoksa-gyeong (僻邪進慶) as he admired and expelled the Yeoksin (疫神) who coveted his wife. It is said that it is one of the most powerful forms among things that can be made from straw, with the power to drive away bad things and bring about auspicious events.

In addition, since the straw took the shape of a person, the power of magic became stronger as it got closer to the person, and the symbol of the reverse god was given by hanging the warrior on the wall and covering the upper body to make the shape the same as the reverse god.

And the Yeoksin should pray to Cheoyong.

I had to hope and think what I wanted.

Cheoyong is in front of the symbol of overwhelming superiority!

“Release me…”

“Yes, you wretch. Do you want me to pull out the stakes stuck in your body and catch your breath to drive you out a thousand li?”

“Release me…”

If you want a wish, there is also a price for it. At least in the original Cheoyong magic, there may not have been a price, but now hisThe warrior hanging in front had to pay the price.

A picture was drawn on the cloth wrapped around his body.

The ‘Y’-shaped painting, which means the three-way intersection that will disturb the evil accumulated in Jeung, is trapped inside the circle, which means the wall that cannot escape, so that the evil can only hover inside it until the circle is erased, and the person inside the swaddling bag is the evil spirit. Since he took on the role of ‘, he was in a state where he could not pull out the evil on his own.

The result was a cloth that could never be taken off on its own.

If he couldn’t take off the evil, he couldn’t take off the bag covering his body, so he had to pay the price Jin-seong wanted.

And the wish that Muin wants is ‘release it.’

It is not a wish to be saved, but a wish to be freed.

What do you mean by that…

“If you don’t pay the price of your wish, even if the end comes after eons of time, even your soul won’t be able to get out of the bag.”

Jinseong said that while drilling an eye hole in the bag.

A person’s words change their form depending on the time.

Say the truth with the image reflected in the window.

Only draw the shape with all your heart and bring it out.

Show everything that sits in the deepest part of the hippocampus.

“You paid the price very well. Now that you’ve done your usefulness for a long time, you can return to your homeland.”

Jin-seong said that while looking at the soldier who was drooling from his mouth with his eyes wide open and unable to come to his senses even though the wrapping was removed.

The bluish mana gathered in the warrior’s eyes continued to move as if creating a hologram, and thick nosebleeds continued to flow from the corners of his mouth that were completely untied, soaking all of his clothes.

“Can’t you answer me?”

Mu-in continued to roll on the floor without even responding to Jin-seong’s words.

“It’s been a long time since I interrogated with a spell other than parasitic magic. I hope you understand my slight mistake.”

Jinseong said that and turned his back on the man.

“Interrogation is a very difficult task. But you can pray for peace. Om Mani Padme Hum. Om Mani Padme Hum. Om Mani Padme Hum (ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ).”

Bite – ripe.

In this way, Jinseong hid his appearance by using a chukji (縮地).

What remains in the cave where he disappeared is a torch with a few wicks left.

Bone fragments that had become close to powder.

And.

And…

“Ugh…”

A happy warrior whose wish came true.
