Chapter 241 – 235 Ouling, the Village on the Bridge
=That’s…….=
Isilite, who received her gaze, squirmed with a slightly perplexed expression.
She said that, in her Hwanin’s eyes, she seemed to organize her thoughts and refine her words. So she waited and put together the knowledge she had gained from living in another world for nearly a year.
Men and women of the Lukrang tribe have differences in appearance and body structure, inverse joints, wings, and the cold protection effect of fur, but there is no overall difference when the physical abilities are combined into points and summed up.
Differences in strength and weakness between individuals tend to exist in any species.
The benefits are the same even if you awaken as a professional.
However, the number of women is three times greater than that of men. Independence and self-reliance are not inferior to men.
There are many and diverse fields where women have entered society, but this is unavoidable as there is a basic difference in population.
It is a woman giving birth to a baby here. It is also a woman raising a child she gave birth to. Women go out and make money, and women can do everything men do.
From Hwanin’s point of view, there is no reason why a matrilineal society should not be established.
At this point, Isilite, as if organizing her thoughts, began to open her mouth.
= I heard it while working in the mercenary corps, so I don’t know if it’s true, but I think the way men are treated is related to the appearance of the beast god. =
=Ah, I heard it in the theology class of the denomination. The real face of the Beast God is that of a huge wolf taller than a mountain rising up to pierce the sky, but the appearance that he occasionally reveals is that of a beast like Luke and the men. Could it be because of that?=
Isilite quietly nodded her head at Anne’s story.
=It is said that Luke and the man were born from the body of the beast god, and Luke and the woman grew up from the footprints the beast god stepped on.
Since Luke and the man are descendants of the beast god, they have a similar appearance to the beast god, but Luke and the woman are imperfect beings with only sheep that are not even a speck of dust, so they only have ears and a tail.
=…… So I said that it is normal for an imperfect woman to follow a perfect man.
=Really? If that’s true, it can’t be helped.=
Yu Lepa, who had been listening quietly until then, quietly opened her mouth.
= If it’s okay with Miss Dew, she’ll tell you what she learned while studying alcohol law. Can I tell you the rest? =
She seems to think that it is not polite for her to bring up the story about him.
=Yes. I’m also curious about the exact reason.=
Permissioned, Yurpa takes out his glasses and puts them on, then pulls out something like a notebook from his pocket and pararak-opens it.
=First of all, what Lady Seul Lee heard is almost the same as what she saw in the seminary lecturer. I don’t know exactly how the beast god is portrayed in the land god church…….=
Subsequently, the supplementary explanation given by Yurpa was the content that Darwin would jump out of the grave with the content that goes against the theory of evolution.
=The catechism of the Beast God Church has the appearance of countless beasts, and the person who is the origin of all beasts is defined as the Beast God. And it says that Luke and the man were born from the traces of the beast god scattered on the earth long ago while fighting against the enemy.=
They were born from fur scattered in battles, from fragments of broken toenails, from blood that flowed from their bodies, from severed muscles, from tendons, eyes, noses, ears, mouths, teeth, tails, etc., And were born as a species worthy of that.
However, the woman originally lived on the land and her blood was mixed with Luke and men, so she became the same Luke and man and woman as she is now.
“It’s similar to where I used to live, but different.”
=What is the legend of Doryeong’s family?=
“From a theological point of view, man is said to be God’s creation. They say that God formed man from clay and woman from man’s rib.”
=Huh, really?=
=That’s… Another great story.=
Did you hear that God was translated as God? Hwanin pushed cold knowledge to the two startled girls.
“But scientifically proven, it’s completely different. The theory that man evolved and diverged several times racially, and finally became man, was adopted as truth about 6 to 7 million years ago by a species resembling an ape.”
=…… Chi, seven million years?=
At a time so far away that it is difficult to count in numbers, the women’s astonishment is momentarily understood by Anne and Yurpa with deliberately serious faces.
=I understand why the tribal union brings people from the world of Doryeong and bring them together. If you take out this theory of evolution outside, you might be beaten to death by people.=
=For the Luke Rang men, it means that the Inseo tribe is the ancestor of dogs, and the Inseo tribe is the ancestor of rats.=
“I guess so. Because science has a strong tendency to deny God.”
However, the theory of evolution is a matter of the earth, and this world is a world where magic and gods exist. The possibility that what Yurpa said was true cannot be ruled out.
That would also be true, the women born between Luke and a man and Luke and a woman only have beast ears and tails, and all men have the appearance of bipedal beasts.
Although there are some exceptions, such as the Humans and Demons, it is a strange thing.
Hwanin nodded his head to conclude the subject.
“In the end, despite the small number, the patrilineal society is due to the fusion of customs and the ideology of a single religion.”
If we think about the appearance of this era where science has not developed, issues related to God and religion are soon treated as truth and truth.
There is a reason why they can’t refuse like that, so even in unreasonable treatment, women don’t cause revolution.
Anne said, crossing her arms in amazement.
= Somehow, even a man who doesn’t have much to do seems to want to go out strongly with a woman. Yuri unnie, do Luke and the man teach such ideas from the time the child is born?
= This idea is deeply rooted in Luke and society like a giant tree that has been around for thousands of years. However, the reason why society goes back to normal is not different. It’s because there are so few men, and people who are lazy, screwed up, ugly, and have no desire to work don’t show themselves outside. Such people cling to women and suck only their spines, and normal men do little outdoor or social activities, so he looks okay from the outside.
‘Exactly.’
Luke and the men Hwanin met were all diligent in outside activities, so Yurpa’s argument is persuasive.
Rather, the appearance of spitting out harsh vitriols, unlike the usual easy-going Yurpa, seems to have accumulated resentment somewhere.
How difficult it must have been for a woman, a different race, and a Yurpa, a race similar to a succubus, to live in such a Lukrang society.
Hwanin imagined the persecution and discrimination she must have suffered, then got up from the sunbed and refreshed her mood.
“Let’s end this story here. Take care of the remaining time, and keep your stamina intact just in case.”
=Yes.=
= Ong. =
“Isilite, I want to take a bath that I couldn’t take yesterday. Will you prepare it?”
=Yes, Master.=
Her mental fatigue was mostly relieved thanks to interesting small talk with them. Now, after taking a hot bath and taking a short nap, your condition will recover.
Let the soul-searching be done afterwards.
Hwanin waited for the bath to be ready while playing with Bisang who was walking around the courtyard of the annex.
During her bath, Hwan-in, who relieved her fatigue with hot water with Anne, who dragged Isilite into the bath, took a nap with the girls wrapped around them and the cool river breeze blowing.
The warm body temperature of the half-naked female friends on the left and right, and the cool wind that blows and cools the sweat when you are about to sweat a little.
After recovering from a short but sweet sleep, Hwanin wore a gray hooded cloak and went looking for the spirits of Ouling Village.
It is to achieve Buddhahood, not a soul with a grudge, but a normal soul.
The fact that she is a senior soul has already spread throughout the village. This level is a bit lacking. The more his reputation spreads beyond the village, the lower the level of harm done to him will be inversely proportional.
‘On the contrary, if harm is done, the intensity will increase that much.’
It means that if you are a human trying to attack the world’s most untouchable, the soul master, and even the advanced soul master, you are an individual/group that has the power to pacify or suppress the reaction.
And if you have that kind of power, there is a high possibility that you know what will happen if the spirit corpse dies.
In other words…….
‘The more my name is known, the more pressure it puts on my potential enemies.’
After looking around the villages on the island side and the bridge side while receiving the respectful gazes of the villagers, I rented a small boat from the guards and inspected all the piers under the bridge.
As a result, they found out that there are a total of 95 souls in the village, and it was confirmed that 87 of them were murdered ghosts.
The raccoon ears and raccoon tail female guard captain who was accompanying me under the pretext of escorting me muttered something strange.
= This is strange. At that time, about 120 people were killed by him, but only 87 ghosts…….=
“Whether or not a person who was killed unjustly will remain as a ghost depends on the feelings of the victim. It is something that we, the living, cannot fathom.”
= Ah…… !=
After that, Hwanin gathered the souls of eight people and proceeded with sexual misfortune.
As in other villages and villages, it was a sexual misfortune that proceeded after a little bit of spiritual energy was pushed in from the beginning so that everyone could see it, rather than having them face-to-face with their families and then spilling the spirit energy to confirm their identity.
Thanks to that, the effect was very good.
= Huh! Wow, it’s the soul! I see the soul!=
= Oh my god…… You were a really great spirit master…….=
=Ohhh, beast god, please have pity on the soul and give it peace so that it can be reborn in paradise…….=
=But isn’t that person the second wife of the Yolo family who lives on Central Island?=
= Right. 4 years ago, the head ceremony…….=
The awe and adoration from hundreds of villagers who followed Hwanin every time he attained Buddhahood grew stronger in real time.
“I love you, my children…….」
=Pay comfortably, father. I will protect my sister and family…….=
In this way, after the souls of eight souls, excluding the murdered souls, were attained, several tests were conducted through the resentful souls, accompanied by villagers who were extremely careful not to step on their shadows.
“Relax.”
「That, ugh.」
“You are a person. I won’t ask you to forget the grudge. However, please do not let go of your rationality as a human being, immersed in anger.”
“Ugh… Ugh ugh…… Him, that guy. That motherfucker to chew on…… Knock off!」
Thanks to these tests, Hwanin was able to learn techniques to help with sexual misfortune.
If a wave of tranquility is released after awakening a little bit of reason through forcible force, even a soul in a state where communication cannot be communicated will come to its senses to some extent and become capable of conversation.
It is doubtful whether this technique will work for Hyeonjae as well, but it is undoubtedly the biggest gain from Owling that a soul who has let go of reason due to excessive mental shock has a way to deal with it.
Around that time, the sun was setting and the sun was setting, so Hwanin returned to the inn escorted by the captain of the guard.
Preparation for the memorial service took a day and a half.
Malvin mobilized the guards and villagers to clean the vacant lot in front of the mill on the east side of the island, then plucked the Ilil flowers that bloomed profusely along the riverside and meticulously planted them.
Stone slabs were obtained for people to come and go, and roads were built for the villagers to burn incense, and carpenters and masons were called in to build what could be called an altar.
At the same time, the elderly intellectuals of the village were gathered to write opening and memorial addresses, and incense and incense vessels were prepared for the number of dead people and placed on the altar.
In the meantime, Hwanin awakened all the souls of the slain and gathered them to the place where the memorial service was to be held.
He didn’t forget to show what he was doing by pushing his aura from time to time.
Thanks to this, the villagers began to call Hwanin a pilgrim of the soul who continues to suffer sexual misfortune in search of souls groaning in pain.
Such changes were also manifested in behavior.
At first, they secretly visited the outbuilding and left offerings, or the villagers made dishes with precious ingredients and carefully presented them.
It meant putting all the offerings in a box and going, but they were not installed by Hwanin, but made by the village carpenter.
When the boxes were made in this way, the quality and quantity of the things that the villagers left behind increased dramatically.
Herbs that are hard to find, forest honey classified as a restorative, and rare gemstones and precious metals excavated from the river.
= Whoa, my God! I think you just left that grandmother’s estate?=
= What? Wisdom? …… A while ago, someone left a bundle of moonshadow grass…….=
=Moon shadow grass?! That’s a silver coin per gram!=
Isilite, who was at least tolerant of this situation, refused to do so, but Anne and Yurpa, who were seeing this for the first time, expressed some concern about whether this was okay.
= Doryeong Doryeong. Shouldn’t they stop them?=
= Even considering the cost of the materials in the box so far, I think it would exceed 70 silver coins…….=
Late in the afternoon, there are currently three tribute boxes installed. It feels like the fourth will be installed in a while.
Hwanin read the theology of the Church of the Land God borrowed from Anne and closed her book.
“Their offerings are used to support other souls. The villagers know that, so they fill it with sincerity.”
=That’s right?=
However, Hwanin did not think that more than two ships would be installed, so she pointed to Anne and said.
“If we continue like this, the chests will continue to be installed, so when the third chest is filled, go out and let the people go. If the box is empty, people will keep trying to fill it.”
=Yeah, okay.=
It doesn’t matter if you give out as much as you can afford in your property, but receiving ‘sincere’ even while wasting your living is not good for your reputation.
For a town of this size, three ships would be adequate.
And the next day.
When the preparations for the memorial service were almost over, Malvin, Helissa, and Cedar came to visit. It was when 30 hours had passed since I breathed 10% of the total energy into Cedar.
=Hwanin.=
Malvin with tears in his eyes, and Cedar and Helisa looking at Malvin with caring faces behind him.
Hwanin grasped the general situation and calmly opened his mouth.
“Did you say goodbye?”
=Yes. Mom… , Her mother is dead and it makes sense for her to have to part with the deceased. For me, that parting came a little earlier than others… Sniff I think it came.=
Contrary to what she said, Malvin’s eyes widened as if her tears would flow at any moment, and the area around her mouth pouted. But she didn’t shed a tear until the end.
With a sniff, Malbin, who swallowed her nose, bowed her back, she said.
= Thank you. Thanks to Hwanin-nim’s grace, she was able to hold her heart while talking to her mother yesterday.
“…….”
Hwanin, thinking of encouraging her for a moment, shut her mouth as he saw Helisa standing next to her Malvin.
She seemed to have gained someone to take Cedar’s place and stand by her side, so she didn’t seem to need any consolation.
But a word of encouragement would be fine.
“Cheer up. If you listen to the people around you, you will be able to be the good host her mother wants you to be.”
=…… Yep. Thank you=
Malvin bent her back again and told her to rest in peace, then she and Helisa left the annex.
Before crossing her threshold, Helisa’s expression as Malbin wiped her stinging tears with her handkerchief was a mixture of half mother and half wife.
She said that she was Cedar’s sister, so to her, her Malvin must have been her nephew. And yet, such a relationship…….
‘It’s none of my business.’
Hwanin watched as Malvin and Helisa disappeared into the darkness, then looked back at Cedar standing next to her.
“Then, are you ready to tell the whole story now?”
“Yes. I’ll tell you what I know about Aldhelm and Bijalux, which you might be curious about.”
It is possible to complete a sketch by collecting rumors from the village, but such a sketch lacks credibility.
Above all, the word of mouth spread by the villagers and the story told by the Ruby Joo family cannot be the same.
Cedar, the former owner of the Ruby family. If the story told by Ruby, wouldn’t it be possible to resolve the sense of gap that has been felt all along?
Hwanin had always been suspicious.
Even though Aldhelm is a direct descendant of a noble family, the Rubiju family that rules Ouling is also a noble family.
1. Can a powerful family commit atrocities against a noble family just for entertainment and fun?
2. Even if it is possible to concede a few steps and commit an evil crime, is it possible to torture and kill hundreds of villagers and the ancient tribe just because one villager ran and bumped into them?
Considering the flow of this world that I have come to know so far, and the way it rolls, it is neither.
Hwanin held her by the shoulders and let her aura flow a little so that her girlfriends could hear what Cedar was saying.
