Chapter 434 - The scent has changed
fifty years ago.
Sichuan Province.
Gomyeongsan Taeilgwan.
In Taoism, incense is highly valued.
Incense is not only an act of offering to the gods, but also praying for blessings with it.
Where is that?
Incense purifies all kinds of evil spirits in the world.
For this reason, incense is always burned at the conduits.
Taeilgwan, who believes in angelism, was more obsessed with incense.
The teacher taught that incense enables communication between gods, people, and ghosts.
Incense was the center of life in Taeilgwan, also called Guido.
“You understand? Among all the techniques, the best is burning incense well. The gods look into our
devotion through the smell of incense. So even if you burn one incense, don’t waste it.”
The disciples faithfully followed the teachings of such a master.
Every time I opened my eyes, I put up incense, and wherever I was, I made sure that the incense
burnt on the Baksan Incense Burner.
The incense smoked in the morning and evening at Taeilgwan was ‘Ilju Cheonghyang’.
Incense is always prepared in abundance in the warehouse, so it has never run out.
No, it's only happened once.
Water leaked from the roof of a warehouse during the summer rainy season.
The water fell into the incense box and mold grew throughout the summer.
The person in charge, who found out about it belatedly, went to a nearby conduit to get
‘Sangbunsimhyang’ with a different name.
The disciples did not know that the incense had changed.
However, Gongquishan, who had a developed sense of smell, quickly noticed the subtle difference.
“The scent has changed.”
"what are you talking about? change?”
At the words of the ambassador, the other brother-in-law also looked at Gongchwisan at the same
time.
It's because the maknae, who has no presence, suddenly brings up the topic of a sensitive scent.
“It’s similar to Ilju Cheonghyang, but different. It’s like a feeling of resentment.”
“Do I look the same?”
“They all smell the same, so what’s the difference?”
“Are you a dog?”
The brothers were dubious about his words.
Only in the afternoon, the person in charge reported the truth to the master and ordered ‘Ilju
Cheonghyang’ from above.
That night.
While taking a walk around the grounds, Gongchushan accidentally ran into Yang Yeoring, the
second sister-in-law.
She spoke to her with her smile on her face.
“If you are, you will know what kind of oil I used. yes?"
“Okho Cheonghyang?”
"also."
After that, she was silent for a while.
There was no conversation between the two, but Gongquan didn't feel bored.
“I am leaving.”
"yes?"
“An unknown god told me to leave. Master said so. Follow the divine words.”
Gong Quishan was taken aback by her sudden declaration.
I couldn't believe that my sister-in-law, who had been living as a conduit more zealously than anyone
else, was leaving.
"when?"
“You tell me. When would be a good time to go?”
“Me?”
"Let's go together."
“Yes? Why me?”
Instead of Gong Quishan refusing, she asked why he was.
Is that God's will? Or maybe there was another reason, I wondered.
“I want to be able to trust you.”
“I haven’t learned all of the Gujeongdanbeop yet… … .”
“I will teach you.”
“… … .”
Gong Quishan was shaken by the sister's suggestion.
As long as he could learn Gujeongdanbeop, she didn't care where she was, not Taeilgwan.
Then Yang Yeo-ryeong spoke.
“I can even teach you the ‘Jingujeongdanbeop’.”
At the words of ‘Jingujeong Danbeop’, Gongchushan was awakened.
What else does this mean?
Ordinary disciples only learn the ‘Gujeongdanbeop’.
‘Jingujeongdanbeop’, the ultimate stage, was the responsibility of the successor who would be in
charge of Taeilgwan, that is, the three brothers.
“How did sister-in-law… … .”
"curious? How do I know?”
“… … .”
Gongquan didn't answer.
Suddenly, I remembered the image of the sister descending from Taesang-gak one day.
probably not
Gong Quishan, lost in her thoughts, heard Yang Yeoring's transparent voice.
“Tomorrow, come to Taesanggak at the end of hash (11:00 p.m.). Then you will believe that what I
am saying is true.”
After saying that, Yang Yeoryeong passed him by.
The scent of ‘Okho Cheonghyang’ shook the chaotic Mt. Gongchwi even harder.
"gaffer. What do you think about not eating? Do you already have the strength to lift chopsticks? Do
I have to feed them?”
When Yeonjeokha threatened, Jeokwol Gongchwisan woke up from a long thought.
He must have lost himself in old thoughts while waiting for food.
He reluctantly picked up his chopsticks, but he didn't see anything he wanted to eat.
“This old man is real. Can I chew it and put it in?”
Gong Quishan forced himself to use chopsticks at the terrible threat of the jeokha.
The mansion of Jang Gong-rae of Anchalsa Temple in Hogwangseong.
A man pushed the door open with both hands and ran inside.
“I’m Gongja! I am Gongja!”
He ran to the main house and found Jang Geomun because his throat was breaking.
The servants who worked in the house snooped around the main house due to the man's
commotion.
Jang Geomun, who was sleeping on his side, got up from his seat with a frown on his face.
When I heard the voice, it was one of the escorts I had with before.
He went out on his own after becoming a disabled man, but I don't know what the sudden fuss is
about.
Impatient, he opened the door and shouted.
"What's going on!"
The man who ran to the bottom of the island at once bowed his back and said,
“Confucius! That Madou from last time has appeared!”
“Madu?”
“Why, on the way to the oral cavity a while ago… … .”
“Are you sure he is!”
In an instant, Jang Geomun's face turned red.
Life dripped from his eyes, which were wide open as if they were about to tear.
“The postmark has been checked several times. It must be him. He even had a bamboo backpack.”
“Where are you! Where are you!”
“I saw him go into ‘Okho Cheonghyang’ and ran right away!”
In an instant, Jang Geomun shouted.
“Hello! Who is it!”
Servants who had been snooping from afar rushed as if they were waiting.
"you! Bring all the guests of the annex! You go to the late Podu of Wuhan Fortress and tell him that
Madou has appeared, lead the officers and come to ‘Okhocheonghyang’!”
"yes!"
"yes!"
The two servants ran in different directions.
After a while, the servant who went to the outbuilding returned with five soldiers.
All five of them were in their late 40s, and their eyes were not normal.
Baek Il-chwi Noujo, who was in the lead, laughed and said.
“Hehe, Gongja Zhang, what did you call all of us for today?”
“No Daehyeop. Not too long ago, a madou appeared who turned my escorts into ruins and robbed
them of my money. It is said that Madou is having a meal at ‘Okho Cheonghyang’. I'm going to call
the late Podu and try to chase it down. Can you help me?”
He was ashamed and hid what he had been beaten.
But anyone could tell by looking at his face, which was still less bruised.
Noujo knew too, but he pretended not to know.
“Nothing. It's hard enough to make the escort of Confucius into a waste. Even if you think about
morality, you should help. Isn't it?”
At Noujo’s words, Jang Jangsan and Gangnam Samwoong nodded their heads.
Geomoon Jang showed his respect to the five martial arts masters with air defense.
"thank you. Your kindness will never be forgotten for the rest of my life. I know Madou's face, so I
will guide you.”
Geomun Jang took the lead, and five masters followed.
The man who first announced the appearance of Madou followed them, gritting his teeth.
Okho Cheonghyang.
Yeonjeokha, who was leisurely drinking tea after dinner and looking out the window, muttered.
“It’s a big city, so there are a lot of people. How are you? Even the police? Where did the fight
happen?"
At his fuss, Gong Quishan turned his head to the street.
It wasn't that it wasn't, but the distance was so noisy that it was transmitted to the spots.
Soon after, the police came and surrounded the spot.
"what? Did you see a fight here?”
The line of sight of the enemy was directed to the inside of the spot.
However, the customers at the restaurant were not even raising their heads as they ate quietly.
"huh? It's not? What is Pozole?”
“No, what is it? At first glance, it looks like they’re here to catch a thief.”
"thief? Are you sure you're not talking about me?"
“Or not.”
Gongchwisan answered dryly, holding the warm teacup with both hands.
He is himself. It would be nice if Yeonjeokha was dragged along, but it wouldn't happen even if there
were two skies.
Seeing that he only put the police in front, it seems that he still doesn't know who his rival is.
just as expected?
Soon after, they shouted ‘Quaang!’ and slammed the door, and Podu and the policemen rushed
inside.
“Nobody move! The main building is Podu Go Won-hwang of Infinite Pobang! I heard that bandits
active in the Gugu area have appeared, so I'm here to hunt them down! I will investigate the Hopae
for a while, so please cooperate!”
Yeonjeokha, who was staring blankly at him, asked.
“Who doesn’t have a hopae?”
“Anything that can prove your identity is fine. Those who don't even have that will have to go to
Muhanpobang with the main building.”
Then, Yeonjeokha rushed into his arms.
“Where did I put my gopae? what? Wasn't it? Oh, no.”
After escaping from the warehouse, he threw himself into the green forest, so there's no way he'll
have a nameplate.
While Yeon Jeok-he was in trouble, Go Won-hwang went on to investigate the shellfish on one side.
The person who completed the investigation immediately left the spot.
Finally, the guests were almost gone, and it was Lian Zehe and Gongquan's turn.
Ko Won-hwang approached the two of them.
“You two seem to have finished eating, but I need to cooperate. Let’s see some hopa.”
Gongchwisan opened his mouth with a shy face.
“I don't have When I was young, I got rid of my cape while receiving a docheop.”
“Let’s take a look at the docheop.”
“I also abandoned my while returning to the secular world.”
“This is a prize. No coat of arms, no docheop? If so, let’s know who you are from.”
“I am the Four Great Gods of Myeongwanggyo, and I am called Mt. Gongchwi in Red Moon.”
“… … .”
Go Won-hwang looked at Gongchwi Mountain with dumbfounded eyes.
It was astonishing that an old man with a grunting face was the Four Great Gods of
Myeongwanggyo.
He suppressed the swearing that rose to his throat and asked again.
“Is there a divine ticket to prove the Four Great Gods?”
"does not exist."
“If so, is there anyone who can prove that you are the Four Great Gods?”
Then Yeonjeokha said.
“Uncle, this old man is Myeongwanggyo’s gongchwi mountain. I can vouch for that.”
“Who is the small group? Like Let's take a look.”
"It's me? I’m Yeonnamcheon, a non-partisan secular disciple, but I don’t have a title.”
"If it's false, show me at least a map."
“There are no secret disciples.”
“So, So-hyeop also has nothing to prove that he is a non-party disciple?”
"yes. Oh, this old man knows. That I am Yeon Namcheon, a non-partisan disciple.”
In an instant, Go Won-hwang raised his voice.
“So, people who can’t prove their identities right now will vouch for each other’s identities! That's
what farts are! Do I look like an asshole in hot pants in your eyes! Either put out the hopae right
away, or go to the four rooms with me!”
“Ah, I drool. Uncle Fodu, calm down. Do you see me and this old man as numbers in your eyes?”
Only then did Ko Won-hwang calm his excitement.
The two people in front of me were extremely ordinary.
An old man with a gossip and a young man with a naive look, and they both didn't even have a knife.
'Did you catch a glimpse and jump out?'
Go Won-hwang's hesitant eyes saw a bamboo backpack.
Based on Fodu's long experience, it seemed that he could clearly know the identity of the young
man.
“Open.”
"yep!"
Without hesitation, I immediately opened the backpack cover.
Go Won-hwang, who saw the brush, syringe, goe-hwangji, oil bottle, etc., exclaimed in agony and
cried out in agony.
I don't know if he's non-partisan, but he wasn't something a bandit would carry.
However, letting go of two unidentified people is not at all embarrassing.
It is time for Go Won-hwang to conflict over the issue of handling the two new recruits.
Jang Geo-moon, the first informant and the son of Anchalsa Ho Gwang-seong, entered the spot.
