Chapter 39: Lion Dance (7)
As one could see, the sword was real.
The spirit of the Hwarang was strong and bright, and it rose from the entire body of the sword. It was definitely in conflict with the evil spirit.
With this, he will not be able to run wild like that.
Zaha said, looking at the sword of Sa Daham.
Seol Young suggested.
Sell it to me.
Dont want to.
I will pay any amount.
How much can a homeless man even pay?
As if Zaha were saying not to dream of it, he then put away the sword. Well, what could he expect from this man?
Seol Young sat down. He didnt want to play into Zahas plan, so he sat there, resting his chin.
And Zaha said,
But I can let you borrow it.
Seol Young looked at him.
However, there are a few conditions.
Again.
I am not giving you my spiritual energy.
He looked up, and judging by the look on his face, Zaha didnt seem to be lying.
Then what?
It is easier for me if you can land as many hits on the spirit as you can before you die
Zaha said while looking at Seol Young.
You dont have much strength now.
I know.
Seol Young was calm.
So I am trying to make up for it by using those items.
But arent you still lacking in strength? That hand is the biggest problem.
Zaha raised Sa Dahams sword and showed it to him.
It cost me a house to get this. You will not be able to even put up a proper fight, so lending this to you is a waste. I wonder if we can find a way to fight on equal footing.
You will lend it if I can find a way?
Yes.
Would he?
Was he telling Seol Young to find an answer to a situation with no answers? Or was he just bullying him?
Seol Young thought so, but he couldnt give up on the sword, which held an amazing amount of pure qi.
Seol Young looked at his hand.
If he went to the Moon Palaces infirmary, would they have medicine that could heal such wounds? But if he got caught, he would die.
Should he summon a demons hand and use it? Then it would be hard to disguise himself as Sa Daham, and it wouldnt work.
That said, he could not even practice the sword only with his left hand, as it felt too restrictive.
Restrictive.
Those words touched his heart. As if a bundle of some thread was being pulled out, the thoughts continued one after another.
Like he was caught up in thoughts.
It cant be that theres only one way to heal such wounds, right?
He was so preoccupied with mastering the sword technique that he didnt think about it. There are two ways to make things even when the veil is tilted on both sides.
Found it.
Zaha didnt seem that confident in his words.
For real?
Yes.
Seol Young began to explain.
How do I make things even again when Im at a disadvantage and my opponent has the upper hand? If I cannot go up to his level, then I will bring him down to my level. If I have restrictions on me, then I will place one on my opponent too.
Seol Young explained while drawing an image on the ground with a tree branch.
What method could he even use to place restrictions on an evil spirit?
Zaha listened without asking anything, and after he finished explaining, he said,
Nice.
Although I dont know much about your Gods teachings, I have wandered around since I was a child and picked up various things. And didnt the Buddha appear in various incarnations and help beings become enlightened?
Right. Yes.
I heard that among his incarnations, there is one called the Dirty Vajra King. His head touched the sky, and his face was always contorted with anger, and his hands held many weapons.
Yes. It is said to be a frightening vision to see.
As such, that incarnation isnt as merciful as Buddha and is said to punish evil beings, which anyone would fear. Monk, sometimes punishing is right. Like Buddhas punishment.
Buddhas retribution, you mean.
Do Cheol mumbled, retribution. He repeated it to himself several times.
He finally looked like he had some courage. The look of fear was slowly disappearing from his face.
Seol Young continued,
Bad things like them shouldnt exist in our world. They are harming innocent people. Think of your friendwasnt he a man who liked to carve Buddha statues? However, an evil spirit killed him just to gain power. He had to die young, without knowing why. Isnt that unfair?
Do Cheols eyes turned red.
Seol Young-rang is right. The fake monk is strong and scary, but we cannot leave him like this. Buddhas retribution is needed.
He clenched his fists, and his hands were trembling.
But what do I do? I am a coward.
Zaha stared at him, specifically at his huge size and his big fists.
You should fight earnestly.
Isnt that why we have incarnations?
Seol Young spoke, making sure Zaha didnt say anything wrong.
Just like what we said earlier, sometimes even Buddha decides to change from his benevolent image and takes up strong forms. Think about it, monk. If you could be an incarnation, what form would you borrow? In what form will you try to take down the evil?
Do Cheol thought deeply and said,
I have been thinking about it since I was little. The strongest and scariest in the world
His eyes were bright.
Exactly.
The day of the Sword Dance was bright.
Do Cheol stayed up all night reading Buddhist teachings and fell asleep at some point.
When he came to his senses, he was in the temple. So he immediately hid under the altar of Buddha.
Someones feet could be seen from under the cloth covering the altar. He could see leather boots that were worn by warriors, and the soles were soaked in blood as if the shoes came from a slaughterhouse.
Do Cheols heart sank.
The owner of the feet walked around the altar. Even if he walked around the room, he would return to the altar and stand there.
And suddenly, he bent down and looked under the altar.
And he saw Sa Dahams face.
Their eyes met, and Do Cheol almost screamed. Fortunately, thanks to the thick cloth, Do Cheol couldnt be seen.
However, the spirit seemed suspicious, considering how he continued to stare.
Do Cheol turned more and more miserable, and the breath he was holding was reaching its limit. It looked like he was going to die from suffocation. He closed his eyes and prayed.
Heavenly Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha
With all his might, he called for the various avatars of Buddha.
His earnest prayers took effect, and he was able to escape from the dream he was trapped in. But now he saw another being in the room.
And the sound of Do Cheols prayer made him angry.
In the dark, he opened his eyes, and a ferocious monster roared.
!
Do Cheol woke up in surprise.
From the looks of it, he had been sitting down for a while.
There was someone here.
Do Cheol felt chills rise.
If the stern-looking face hadnt screamed and woken him up, he would have been caught by the fake monks spirit.
Such a good monster.
He rushed out.
Seol Young sat on the bench right in front of Sa Dahams sword, which was being inspected, and Do Cheol approached him.
You are amazing! You knew that I would fall asleep, and you prepared it all in advance!
..?
Seol Young looked at him with a puzzled face.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
