Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 728
Episode 728
‘After finding the headquarters of Hyeolpungsa Temple, should I report it to the government immediately??’
It may be different from the ‘gwan’ in the central plains, but it is still a kingdom and security will be managed at least..
The most urgent thing is to learn this spell.
If you can learn it, you can drastically shorten the time it takes to create a vaccine..
‘By the way, human sacrifice has become such a common awareness.…….’
It was definitely different from Wan Nong, a fellow new foreigner..
‘What is human good and evil?.’
Jin Cheon-hee thought so and climbed on Hwang-gu's back..
Beep!
A concussion settled on Jin Cheon-hee's head as if waiting for it..
So the three headed to the village..
* * *
A festival was held in the village. There was no damage from the magic bandits' attack, and even the magic bandits' horses were created, so the festival was worthy of being held..
In the midst of the fight, a fresh horse that had just died was slaughtered and the villagers celebrated and ate it..
The owner of the living horses and magicians was Jin Cheon-hee, but they knew that the blind musician would not lead all of these horses..
If the villagers pooled their money to pay for it, how happy would they be because they would be able to acquire a horse at a low price?.
Jin Cheon-hee said that he would hand over the magic bandits to the coffin, but it was clear that after the trial, some of them would be returned to the village for their own disposal according to local customary law..
In that case, it was clear that the thieves would also have the stamp of slaves and be used for this village..
It was worth having a festival.
As Jin Cheon-hee also guessed, this area is where slavery still remains..
Since there was a gap in public security, the common people had to ignore the law in order to survive..
From a modern person's point of view, the Hwa Empire was worthy of criticism as being run strangely, but there were even worse places in the world..
And now I was learning it again.
There is martial arts and there is magic..
A world where the supernatural lives and breathes as if it were natural..
It would be a long way to protect both law and humanity there..
Therefore, Jin Cheon-hee had to watch the village chief talking to the shaman through bandages and sunken eyes..
“I would have said that my drink does not allow human sacrifice.?”
“If it's false. You can bring another shaman.?”
“This is my territory. If you bring in a shaman from another realm here... … From now on, I will not be involved in the affairs of this land and will consider it not my domain. Would you do that??”
“Umm… I guess I'll have to think about it a bit..”
“And the blind musician who caught them only wanted to use them as slaves, not as a sacrifice..”
“Mmm, but he's not a stranger.”
The shaman clicked his tongue at those words..
‘Even if he is a lifesaver, does that mean he will leave anyway?.’
After all, outsiders are outsiders. The villagers left behind must decide their own future..
“Rituals performed through human sacrifice are effective, but they inevitably leave behind a curse. That's true no matter how evil the opponent is. You know that.?”
“I know this well because I have been a village chief for a long time. I also knew your teacher... … Don't know. But isn't this a bad time? Disaster has already arrived in this town.…….”
The conversation that Jin Cheon-hee saw and heard when he came to the shaman's residence during the day..
Just like the village chief who speaks without any objection to human sacrifice, the conversation between the shaman is simply dismissed as something outside of his specialty.,
The story of two people makes my solar plexus tingle in many ways..
Something sprouted in my heart. It was painful, cold and sharp..
It smelled like rotten roses..
The scent grew stronger as the two continued their conversation, and as I listened, my heart started pounding and it became difficult to stay still..
So Jin Cheon-hee couldn't bear it and deliberately made a show of it..
“The village chief came first..”
“Oh oh… … . Has the hero come! What's happening here?.”
Pull your cheeks and smile brightly on purpose.
“I came because I had some business to do with the shaman here. It looks like the two of you are having a conversation. Should I wait??”
“ha ha ha. no. no. I've already told you everything. now. Then I will step away..”
The village chief bowed politely and left..
I look at the village chief's back as he moves away with an eyepatch on..
“If you look with the eyepatch on, can you see something??”
“Iknow, right. Even though my eyes are covered, I can see something. But it seems like a curse remains after human sacrifice.?”
“……You don’t even know that..”
“yes. Because I didn't learn it.?”
The shaman presses his forehead as if he is dumbfounded..
“okay. I think I know you're new to witchcraft. Come in.”
He said so and went into the hut..
Jin Cheon-hee had Hwang-gu and Noe-jin guard the front and followed them inside..
As I entered, a cozy and calming scent flowed like a wave..
A scent that clears the mind and relaxes the body.
Plus, I liked the scent itself because it was light..
‘Would you like to report this to your teacher? The scent itself is very good.’
For Jin Cheon-hee, who knows well that even if the efficacy is good, the teacher will not like it if the scent is unpleasant, this scent is a pass.!
“what is this scent?”
“It's one of my secret tricks. This will not be taught. If you want to be taught, give something in return..”
“I don't know what to give in return, but I want to learn. Let's do the math later..”
“That's for later. sit down first.”
The shaman sits down..
Then, when Jin Cheon-hee sat down, he took out something that looked like powder and threw it into the bonfire..
Woe! And the flame grew bigger, and the scent became stronger..
“My name is Jashi. He is the coordinator of the five lands and a white wolf who walks the path of magic. What is your name and how do you define yourself as a person with divine blood lineage from the Hua Empire??”
It was a serious sound and seemed like part of some ritual..
“My name is Jin Cheon-hee. He is a doctor who learned martial arts in order to save people and is pursuing the path of medicine..”
“A congressman! I have heard that there are people other than birds who heal people in various ways. I heard it's different from the healers in this area. Are you that kind of congressman??”
getting more and more.
The surrounding scenery seemed to become dreamlike..
The surrounding area is infinitely wide, and I feel like I'm immersed in a world made of incense smoke..
Is this an illusion??
Xuanyuan Zhendan Xingong is activated to the highest level, and the true energy rushes through the whole body and forms the Great Heavenly Heaven..
Nevertheless, Jin Cheon-hee felt that she was in a strange space..
When I opened my eyes between the bandages, something in the scenery had changed..
At some point.
Even the appearance of Jashi, the white-skinned shaman sitting in front of me, is blurry..
However, even in this strange situation, Jin Cheon-hee did not feel danger..
So I answered.
“Indeed, so it is..”
When I answer, Jashi's voice comes as if from far away..
“I see Then how many people have you saved??”
“I don't know because I haven't counted it..”
“Didn't you write it down and count it? Is it because there are so many that you didn't count them??”
“I'm just saving people's lives every day..”
“It is indeed true. God's blood accumulates such great merits and deeds that they scatter heaven's energy! You are a child of new blood. You are qualified to learn our art..”
Wow!.
The smoke has cleared. And the surrounding scenery all returned to normal..
I could tell that I had escaped from the strange and dreamy world I had just entered..
“The ancestral spirits and spirits have recognized you. Now you can learn my drink.”
“It was a test.”
“It is true. Because my drinking is not something I can teach just because I want to..”
‘The world of witchcraft is full of surprises..’
Jin Cheon-hee thought so to herself. and at the same time.
‘If my ancestors had not given permission, would I have thought of eating the fur and feathers of the yellow-faced tiger??’
Jashi continued speaking shamelessly..
“By the way, human sacrifice inevitably leaves behind a curse. I asked what it was?”
“yes.”
“What do you think human sacrifice is??”
“Sacrifice someone... … Isn’t this a ritual that benefits from it??”
“nice… Hahaha! How could such a novice have so much power?!”
Jashi laughs loudly..
Jin Cheon-hee wondered if she had answered something wrong..
Jashi stopped laughing and said.
“Witchcraft requires a price to be paid. That is the most important source and principle of witchcraft. Did you know that if you learn witchcraft properly, you cannot fail to know this??”
“I pay the price?”
“It is true. In the case of trivial magic, it can be performed using only the magician's magical power, but the majority of magic cannot be effective unless a price is paid. The same goes for human sacrifice. A human being is sacrificed, and in return, the magician performs the magic desired. At the center is the thought..”
“resignation…….”
“By weaving together thoughts and paying a price, the spell is activated. Therefore, magic must properly follow procedures and formalities. Otherwise, the magic will not be used properly and will actually harm the magician himself..”
It was mysterious. and it was strange.
“That's why human sacrifice is a problem. The benefits of sacrificing a human being are sure to be great, but most of the human beings being sacrificed leave behind hatred, anger, and malice in the witchcraft ritual. This will most likely become a curse, and it will cause great disaster in the future for those who performed the ritual..”
“ah! And what about the animals??”
“The will of animals is less persistent than that of humans. It is better to sacrifice a dozen animals than to sacrifice one person..”
I never thought there would be that much of a difference!
for a moment?
then.
How on earth are these blood missionaries solving this problem??
“ruler. I'll stop talking about that now. I decided to give you five days, so you should use that time effectively. Are you ready to learn witchcraft??”
“yes. teach me.”
“good. I teach you the basics first.…….”
Jashi began explaining the magic he had learned..
* * *
Jashi's spell.
In Jin Cheon-hee's opinion, his magic was closer to a summoning magic in a game..
It is a series in which Jashi pays a price to the spirits he communicates with and then those spirits step forward and use their power..
Of course, there were direct spells that Jashi could use on his own, so he was mainly able to learn only spells that directly affected him, not spells about spirits..
This is because in the case of Jashi's spirit summoning technique, it was necessary to make a contract with the spirits and perform an offering ritual to them consistently.!
First of all, most beings called spirits had districts..
‘Just as the mayor of Eunpyeong-gu must be in Eunpyeong-gu.!’
Modern man accurately realizes its essence..
Even if you contract with them, you cannot borrow the power of those spirits if you go to an area without them..
That's why Jashi said, 'This area is my territory.'.
If he leaves the area, his magic power will drop by half..
