043. The voice of esoteric Buddhism
This is Baekrin’s incinerator’s office..
“Is my work slowly getting sorted out now? It looks like the damn emperor won't give me any more work for a while..”
Jin Cheon-hee smiled brightly with a healthy smile..
As time passed after enlightenment and the return of sight, the number of poor people in Baeklin County decreased significantly..
The unemployment rate has almost fallen to the bottom..
At this rate, it was safe to say that there was no need to play or become a thief because there was no place to work..
Unless you are a Safa dreamer..
“It's even more surprising that the taxes I spent came back..”
Jin Cheon-hee giggled at Mu-wol’s words..
“so do i.”
It seems that humans somehow go to see what they want to see, even if transportation is inconvenient..
It is said that even in ancient Egypt, people made a living through tourism, and Baekrin-hyeon is in such a situation..
With the development of agriculture, the basis of government, merchants and tourists gathered..
However, tourists in this era are by no means common people..
Even if transportation is inconvenient, it's okay as long as I don't pull the carriage, and it's okay as long as I don't handle the oars..
Even the ancient people would have asked why they would go there given the nice weather in the Mediterranean, unless they were going to go sightseeing with slaves..
Same goes for this neighborhood.
Leisure people come to enjoy the hot springs, tour the smoke city, and eat Zhuge's secret dumplings..
‘Well, I guess it’s a natural flow..’
The reason this is possible is because there is sufficient rice stockpiled and the budget is sufficient..
‘Since we have climbed a big mountain, we just need to get more land..’
Even though Gold&Silver Wangya is a man without blood or tears, he won't commit the atrocity of giving us more work here..
At that time, Yuho came and handed me the item..
“receive.”
widely-
‘No, Yoo-ho, this guy came in without any sign and threw things around and caused an uproar.?’
Still, what kind of one-two day is this guy?.
Jin Cheon-hee sighs and looks down at the object..
It was a box.
“What is this??”
“This is an item sent by the owner..”
Jin Cheon-hee hesitated for a moment and then opened the box..
What's inside is a dagger.
It felt like something was going on, and the carving on the handle was unique..
It was a sculpture consisting of a double body, depicting a man and a woman embracing each other in an obscene posture..
‘First of all, it is not commonly used in the midfield..’
It was not originally designed to be wielded by holding the handle..
“Is it a ceremonial dagger? For ancestral rites or witchcraft?”
“yes. The owner got it a long time ago. It's from Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism..”
Joy Esoteric Buddhism!
There was a wide desert between the Kingdom of Dadu and the Kingdom of Serim, where a religious group called Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism was located..
Originally, Joyful Esoteric Buddhism is one of the sects of Buddhism, a group that worships the being called Joyful Buddha..
‘Joyful... … . This is also unique,’
It is a god who reached Buddhahood through a twin body, and is sometimes expressed as male and female, or sometimes refers to two people, a male Buddha and a female Buddha..
However, Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism revered Hwanhee Buddha as a male and female Buddha, and preached that the teachings of this being are to reach transcendence by exploring not only the human spirit but also physical pleasures..
It holds the doctrine that if you bring both your carnal desires and desires to the extreme, you can rise to the rank of impermanence and no thoughts, become liberated, and become a Buddha..
‘If Confucian Daewongun heard this, it would be a life-or-death decision..’
It was like that..
Aren’t Confucian thugs with swords strong?.
Even if you kill people yesterday like a butcher, you must live today to be filial and provide for your family..
It's okay for men and women to look at each other's intestines, but they still have to be discerning..
That's the logic of Confucian men with swords.
It's possible to stick a knife in each other's solar plexus, but making fun of each other in private is something only a pariah would do..
In that sense, Namgoong Woon is a paradise..
Chastity Parakho.
It may sound crazy to modern people, but this difference is very important..
In such a world, the joy of being able to reach transcendence through physical pleasure is truly an evil being..
Here, if you want to believe in the Esoteric Buddhism, you must believe in it secretly and quietly..
But it's quite popular over there..
And I don't know why.
The Buddha of Hwanhee is said to be in charge of wealth and is a god believed in by many merchants along with Serim Church..
‘Jaebok? Do you give us better than Yuho Toyong??’
Why Yuho Toyong is popular everywhere.
For some reason, people are holding it because they say it will help them make a lot of money..
‘If you think about it, they say foxes usually bring a lot of money..’
Usually, it is treated as an ominous being that eats people's liver, but it seems to have a good image in some parts of the central region..
For some reason, I started buying Yuho Toyong, saying it was useful..
Could it be said to be a meme from the mid-century era??
Jin Cheon-hee placed the dagger engraved with the Buddha of Joy and Yuho Toyong side by side..
‘If you fight Hwanheebul and Yuho Toyong, who will make more money??’
These things are important to modern people.
“You're thinking the wrong way again..”
“Why did Master give me this??”
“Hmm, I dealt with blood missionaries before..”
“really?”
“There was a minor 'anger outing' when the master was not around. Anyway, this is the dagger I found there. Perhaps you will need it if you need to find a blood missionary..”
‘Umm… Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism... … . Should I go to the chief??’
The chief refers to the neighborhood where Serimgyoguk is located..
Serim Church is the largest country in the area, but in fact, in addition to Serim Church, there are many smaller countries attached to it..
Ugh-
Jin Cheon-hee used the trick of Heup (吸) to pull the bamboo book..
In an instant, the desired bamboo book was sucked up Jin Cheon-hee's sleeve..
‘……Have you grown that far now?.’
The five senses became more sensitive during the period of blindness, and the martial arts used like breathing contained deep martial arts..
Jin Cheon-hee casually opened the bamboo book..
There is a map of the world as seen from the central plains..
The scale is a little messed up, but you can still tell roughly where something is attached..
“After passing the Dadu Kingdom, you will see a desert. To the north of the desert is a jungle, and above that is a plateau and plain.?”
“yes. Nomads are strong there..”
“In the middle region, the jungle, the kingdoms Ganbo, Miam, and Seokam are the strongest... … There are many other countries as well..”
Jin Cheon-hee's fingers twitch..
“Below is a huge desert that separates the Kingdom of Dadu and the Kingdom of Serim... … . There is a country in the desert so big that it can contain four or five countries.?”
“yes. Damjin, which has Lamaism, a sect of Mahayana Buddhism, as its state religion, and Milsan Kingdom, a kingdom that is half mixed between Serimism and Lamaism of the Serimgyoguk..”
“It is also a place adjacent to the Dadu Kingdom..”
Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism is widespread in Damjin and Misan, and its head temple is located in Damjin..
In fact, Damjin and Misan are all names given by the Hwa Empire. The Kingdom of Aisha even has a separate name in the style of the Fire Empire..
Even though their language and the language of the Hua Empire were different, the Hua Empire was an arrogant nation that called each other in its own way..
Anyway, after drawing the finger like this,…….
“It's really far, right? this!”
The Dadu Kingdom is far away, but you have to go west once more, and you have to go from the Baekrin Uigak headquarters at the eastern end of the Fire Empire to the western end and then go all the way to the outside world..
‘The clues about blood missions are certainly important, but…….’
This doesn't seem right?
“Three months to go, three months to come, this! Then there will be a lot of work.!”
“Is that so?”
“For an ordinary person, it takes half a year to go and half a year to come back, so the round trip takes a year. Why do silk merchants who travel far beyond the world see their families only once a year? I do this because I cover this distance..”
“okay. Well, let's go then..”
Isn't Yuho trying to go out with an attitude of 'no' or 'nothing'?.
“first… … . uh… … Yuho, thank you.”
“Done.”
“I'm not upset?”
“no.”
Jin Cheon-hee held a potato-like Yuho clay pot and patted its head..
“Yuho, thank you. I love you~ Mini Yuho. Let's see Dad off. Dad, thank you!”
Only then did Yuho realize that this insignificant human was making fun of him..
“This bastard!!!!!”
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!
* * *
It was strange.
We've reached this level, but why can't we still see Yuho's movements?.
It was only after being beaten to death that Jin Cheon-hee realized..
Even if he becomes this strong, there is no end in sight for Yuho..
If it wasn't because he was using his mind or awakening his will, Yuho was just stronger than others..
“Your dad is so tough. Isn't that so??”
Jin Cheon-hee swept Yuho To-yong’s forehead..
Yuho hates it because it is ugly, but Jin Cheonhee likes it..
No, it looked cuter because of Yuho's reaction because he hated it..
After sending Yuho off, Jin Cheonhee looked at the map again. Then suddenly my fingers stopped.
“uh. this……?”
Eventually, the book was pulled again using suction..
widely-
This is a book that describes the areas on the map in more detail..
The book contained information about the Kingdom of Damjin, and Jin Cheonhee looked down at the map again..
It was not written in Sanskrit, but in the phonetic script of Serimgyoguk..
The pronunciation is… … natron.
‘Natron mine. Lake Natron.’
Jin Tianxi rubbed his chin..
“They say it is mined for use by alchemists in Damjin.…….”
Simply put, it is the continent’s largest soda mine..
Why is the name the same here?.
Of course, its size is ridiculously large compared to the Earth..
Egyptians have been using sodium bicarbonate since ancient times to make preservatives and soda water..
At that time, natron mines were mined, and what was obtained was used to remove moisture from corpses..
Not only that, it was also used to make glass and to bleach amphi cloth... According to ancient records, it appears that it has already been used as medicine since then.…….
The etymology of modern sodium itself comes from this mine, Natrium..
‘Wow, but it’s really big. It wasn't this big on Earth..’
Well, the Central Plains continent itself is bigger than Earth, and even though the place names are the same, the climate and geography are slightly different..
‘If you open the trade route well, you can get baking soda and toothpaste... … I think it could be made easier..’
Even now, if you want to get it, you can get it..
Not all the soda in the world is there, and there are places in the central plains where you can collect it..
In addition, individual trade is possible..
However, the problem was the unit price..
Over there, sodium bicarbonate is cheaper than bread..
Even a neighborhood kid lives on soda because he can't digest it..
However, in the midfield, this product is expensive and the price is market price, so it fluctuates depending on the whims of the merchant..
‘If we manage royal trade well, I think we can bring in a lot of spears using the sea route..’
The mine belongs to the royal family, so to lower the unit price, you must trade with the royal family..
“Write… … . I'm greedy for this.”
* * *
“toothpaste?”
“yes. Master, most people who have learned martial arts maintain healthy teeth, but there are quite a few strong people who suffer from cavities depending on their level and propensity for martial arts..”
“That's right. In particular, since the Sapa martial arts technique is not a health technique, your bones and teeth start to erode as soon as you go beyond the upper lip..”
“that's right. Also, in the case of civilians, if they have cavities, they have to be extracted, right? Pulling out a tooth does not create a new tooth, and that is when the real suffering begins..”
Teeth are not one of the five blessings for nothing..
When your teeth are damaged, it becomes difficult to eat food, your digestive function also declines, and your lifespan is directly affected..
“Didn’t you make something?.”
“That's right, but the unit price is the problem..”
“Hmm. So I'm just going to Damjin Kingdom to dig up ingredients for toothpaste.?”
Master still does not know the true power of sodium bicarbonate..
Master, you are a human being who has never experienced bad breath or indigestion in your life..
Just the local traditional dental care method is enough..
But Jin Cheon-hee wanted to gargle..
I wanted to brush my molars with mint-scented foam..
‘Master. I'm in pain.’
A pain that only modern people can understand!
