Chapter 190
Episode 190: I Only Trust You (2)
Yu Jin-san, who was sitting on the bed, had a dazed expression on his face.
Seeing that, his granddaughter came up to him and patted his back.
“are you okay? “Uncle Manho said he was dangerous, so I carried him on my back.”
“…phew. I don’t know what this is all about. But why didn’t you come in with me?”
“I don’t know either. “They said they couldn’t come in.”
It is polite to greet guests when they arrive. I had to meet him first and ask about the situation.
“Let’s go out first.”
Jin-san Yu, who was exhausted and unconscious, walked out with the support of his granddaughter.
In front of the door, a middle-aged man wearing Taoist attire was folding his hands.
“It’s been a while since I greeted you, old man. “Are you okay?”
“If I had been just a little bit late, I would have been in big trouble. “But why don’t you come inside?”
Manho slowly shook his head with a dark expression.
“You can’t go in. “Just standing in the yard right now is taking my breath away.”
“What does that mean? “When you arrived, all the white hands that were strangling me disappeared.”
“It’s not because of me. “Those evil spirits ran away when they found out that my granddaughter had arrived.”
There was no reason for beings impervious to physical force to be afraid of my granddaughter.
“For what?”
Man-ho glanced behind Yu-seol and answered.
“It is precisely because of General Guan Yu, who is standing behind us. Never leave your granddaughter here. Otherwise, the elderly are at risk.”
“This is going to be crazy. I can’t relax even at home. “Can you tell me what the hell this is?”
Manho took out a bundle of amulets from his pocket and showed them to me.
“These talismans attached inside the house are used to seal spiritual beings.”
“So, are you saying that evil spirits were sealed in our house and that they broke them and this division arose?”
“Not necessarily. I wouldn’t have used this many talismans just to seal away miscellaneous spirits. “There is definitely something extraordinary in the house.”
These were things I could never understand.
However, there is no reason for Man-ho to lie to himself.
Yu Seol was just glaring as if he didn’t understand what was going on, and Yu Jin San was just sighing.
“Can you possibly solve this problem? Then I will compensate you somehow.”
Manho hurriedly waved his hand.
“What do you mean compensation? It’s not even possible. “I am already a person who has received great grace from my elders.”
“What is grace? “What did I do?”
“no. Wasn’t it possible for me to transfer my child thanks to you? I will do my best as I consider this to be God’s will.”
“hmm. Thank you for thinking that much. Then I will only believe you.”
Manho nodded and took out several small pouches he had prepared.
“First, I need to spread a barrier around me so I can get inside.”
“We will help you, so do whatever you want.”
The bag he handed me had salt and red beans mixed together.
Joson helped him scatter a little bit of it around the house.
After completing preparations, the three gathered at the entrance again and began to enter.
Manho’s expression looked a bit dark.
“This is my first time seeing a place with such strong sound. What kind of place was it?…”
“I heard that a long time ago, a group of people called Baek Yeong-gyo gathered together and held a ritual.”
Yu Jin-san summarized and explained the strange rumors he had heard from Baek-gyu and Im Jeon-se.
After hearing the contents, Manho’s expression hardened even more.
“I’m not sure, but… it looks like they tried necromancy here.”
“I’ve heard of it before. “Isn’t it some kind of ritual to summon a spiritual being?”
“yes. However, it appears that this was no ordinary necromancy. The energy I feel now is not a ghost or something. “There’s something amazing in the house right now.”
Why does such a being exist in one’s own home? Jinsan Yu sighed and asked.
“Then what else do you mean if it’s not a ghost?”
“It may be an evil spirit… or perhaps a higher being than that.”
“after. “Can you do it?”
“For people like me, even a hundred people would not be able to gather together. But if my granddaughter helps me, it might be worth a try.”
After finishing speaking, Manho took out a small wooden sword from his pocket.
Is it because the blade was unique in that it had many unknown patterns engraved on it? He asked with an eye that found the rumor interesting.
“Mister, what is that?”
“It is a legal sword made of wood. With this we will find the location of that evil thing.”
Byeokjomok refers to a jujube tree struck by lightning and is used to exorcise ghosts because it contains tremendous energy.
Zhao Son silently watched him do it.
Look around the house with your sword stretched out in front of you.
When there was no income after a while, Jinsan Yu secretly asked.
“Why do you keep circling around? “I’m just asking because I’m curious.”
“I’m sure it’s hiding in the house, but I can’t find its location.”
“That is a very difficult problem. It’s not a problem we can help with…”
Yu Jin-san was clicking his tongue in frustration.
“I’ll take a look.”
Yoo Seol, who had been following quietly, suddenly placed his palm on the wall.
The way he closed his eyes and slowly moved his head seemed to detect the energy around him.
If you have a sense of reality, which is the highest level that humans can reach, you will be able to find anything. Eugene San asked with expectant eyes.
“Do you feel something?”
Yu Seol closed his eyes and slowly moved his lips.
“huh. “There is an empty space on the floor.”
“There’s a basement in our house?”
Yoo Seol nodded and guided Yu Jin San and Man Ho to a corner of the first floor.
“Below here.”
Yu Jin-san got down on one knee and placed his palm on the floor.
As I slowly released my energy, I felt that there was a space under the floor.
“Well done baby. “I don’t know what kind of damned guy is down there, but I’m going to have to give him a hard time.”
The floor was made of wood and there was no entrance.
You would have to break it to check it.
It was a bit disappointing to destroy our newly purchased home, but we had no choice now.
Yu Jin-san fired a punch towards the floor.
A hole opened in the floor, revealing a space.
Surprisingly, there were stone steps leading down even deeper.
“Let’s go down quickly.”
“Why don’t you take the lead?”
After widening the hole a little more, Jinsan slowly went down from the lead.
It was deep underground without a single ray of light. However, darkness is not an obstacle for martial arts experts.
Only Manho, whose level of skill was relatively low, felt some discomfort, but there was no major problem.
It was when we went down to about three depths.
The group was blocked by a tightly closed iron gate.
A bizarre pattern painted on the entire door. And Man-ho warned when he saw the talismans stuck together.
“This is my first time seeing a seal this strong. “Once you open this door, there will be no turning back.”
He wasn’t the type of grandson who would back down just because he was scared.
Isn’t it the yin-yang twin monster that is famous even in martial arts for not being picky about what’s going on?
Jinsan Yu struck the iron door with his palm without a moment of hesitation.
I thought it would fall off at once, but the iron door did not budge. Only a palm print remained in the center.
Yu Jin-san did not give up and continued to use the Yuga Gunjang.
Kwaang-! Quang-!! Kwakwang-!!
No matter how much I hit him, he remained firm.
What material is it made of? It was not ordinary iron, and the thickness seemed enormous.
At that time, Yoo Seol, who was watching from behind, spoke softly.
“Come out the back, grandpa.”
My pride was hurt, but what can I do?
Eugene San shook his palms and switched places with his granddaughter.
“Grandpa has done most of it, so all we have to do is touch it up a bit.”
Yu Seol, who changed his position, pulled his fist all the way behind his shoulder.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he slammed into the iron door with all his might.
A fleeting moment. A dazzling flash of light followed by a tremendous roar.
The iron door that had not budged fell off in an instant.
It hit so hard that the entire basement shook for a long time.
“That’s enough now, right?”
“You should have been a little gentler. “What if the house collapses like this?”
Jinsan Yu was looking inside even as he spoke.
Since I could only see a long passage, I had to go a little further.
At that time, Manho, holding the sword, stepped forward and said.
“From here on, I will take the lead.”
“Please do so. “Exorcism is not our field, so it would be better for you to do it yourself.”
The aisle was not as long as I thought.
As I moved forward a little along the winding road, a wide space appeared.
At first glance, this place, measuring about 100 pyeong, could easily be called an underground plaza.
“They did a great job creating this space in the basement.”
As I looked around, I saw a platform that looked like an altar, and there was a sarcophagus inside.
There were also several expensive night wines nailed to the wall.
And strange items that might have been used in rituals were scattered everywhere.
As I was looking around, I heard Yuseol’s shout full of joy.
“found!”
What did you suddenly find?
When I turned my head, I saw Yoo Seol clutching something in front of the altar.
It was a small box with sparkling golden light. Judging by the ruby embedded in it, it seemed to contain a rare item.
“You shouldn’t touch something like that, baby.”
But how can you stop a granddaughter full of curiosity?
Yu Seol was already opening the box and looking at it.
But it didn’t take long for joy to turn to disappointment.
“…what is this.”
When I looked closely, I found a handful of seeds of unknown variety.
It must have been a long time, but mysteriously it felt alive.
It was a stark contrast to the seeds he had bought at the market, which rotted in just one day.
“I don’t know why you kept something like this in such a precious box.”
But Yoo Seol had other thoughts.
“This is… a treasure seed. “What will come out if I plant it?”
How can you know that it is you?
What was important now was not the identity of the seed.
“I’ll have to look into it later, so take it away for now. “First of all, let’s start from here…”
As he turned his head to ask Manho, he was startled.
Yu Seol’s body was already still and his mouth was half-open.
It was unusual to see Manho slumping his shoulders in front of the coffin.
For some reason, both eyes were turned upside down and only the whites were visible. Like a person whose soul has escaped.
“Look! Come to your senses quickly!”
Jin-san Yu tried to wave his arm, but there was no movement.
Suddenly, Manho’s mouth opened wide and he spewed out meaningful words.
“Get out of here now!!!”
At that moment, Jo-son looked at each other’s faces with a creepy expression.
“Grandpa… I think there’s a ghost in Uncle Man-ho’s body.”
It was a rumor that wouldn’t even blink an eye even if a million armies flocked to it, but they were very afraid of ghosts.
It was an instinctive and primal part regardless of martial arts.
And the person who passed on such genetic information to his granddaughter was Jin-san Yu.
“Where are the ghosts in this world? “Don’t worry.”
“What should I do…”
They couldn’t just leave Manho, who came to help them, like this.
We’ll have to come to a conclusion somehow.
Jinsan Yu mobilized all the things he had picked up over a long period of time.
And after much thought, there was only one conclusion.
Yu Jin-san said as he took away the sword that Man-ho was holding.
“I think I should stab the thing inside the coffin with this.”
