2- Let’s go to Cheongdam-dong
#2. Let’s go to Cheongdam-dong
It took a year to prepare to walk the path of Mansin.
In the meantime, I have been clearing away the energy of drugs and evil spirits, and learning about mysticism, eight literatures, and physiognomy, and learning how to see the world when spirituality is fulfilled.
The cost wasn’t too bad.
Mansin Jang Soon-deok refused the money, saying that it was his mission to accept a new mansin on this land, but Jang Sun-deok’s daughters, who helped Ji-hyeok descend as a god, were different.
All of them gave up their livelihoods, so they handed over 100 million won.
The Naerimgut, which lasted for a week, was like a festival for everyone except for Jihyeok.
The era of one million Korean shamans.
I wonder how many shamans worship real gods among them, but all the shamans who properly worship gods came and each prayed for the birth of a mansin.
Fortunately, there were no further hallucinations or hallucinations.
My body, which was in pain as if it were about to break, was healed as if it had been washed.
However, not everything was resolved.
The ghost’s hallucinations and visions disappeared, but the spirits of Sangjesin and the General Gods who guarded Sangjesin stood around Jihyeok every day.
Instead, he obtained a divine instrument that could borrow the energy of the upper god whenever he prayed.
At this time, Mansin Jang Sun-deok warned that if you use Shinki indiscreetly, you will surely be punished, and you will eventually become a puppet that moves according to God’s will.
Ji-hyeok, who did not want his life to be manipulated, even if it was not an evil spirit, was more immersed in fortune telling and contemplation instead of dealing with sacred things.
Even after receiving such a blessing, he learned how to serve God and how to understand the world’s laws while taking care of Jang Soon-deok for another year.
In fact, even writing the word “learned” is ambiguous. It was no different from accepting the karma of the mansin and naturally learning the principles of the world.
The study Jihyeok needed was just to organize the thoughts floating around in his head.
Ji-hyeok, who finished all his studies in one year, bowed to Jang Soon-deok, who was now a new mother.
“Mom, I’m thinking of going up to Seoul.”
“Hmm…? It is not a suitable place to enshrine a god…”
“It’s because I have to earn money.”
“Jihyeok, if Shin’s disciple is too greedy for money, God will be angry.”
“I wasted a lot of money from my parents who raised me due to a new illness. So, you must make a lot of money. But I have no intention of making money with the new store.”
“How do you do that?”
“Accepting the god was a choice I couldn’t help but using the god was something I could choose. I will only pray in the morning and evening.”
Jang Sun-deok nodded and said.
“Since you have already opened your eyes to the saju and contemplation, I don’t worry too much…. Is it really necessary to distance yourself from divine magic that much? It’s a dangerous power, but there will be times when it will come in handy.”
Jihyuk replied with a firm expression.
“Mother, you said that even if you become a disciple, you can break free from bondage if you meet a nobleman, right?”
Only then did Jang Soon-deok realize Ji-hyeok’s thoughts.
“Oh, Jihyuk. Among the tens of millions of relationships on this earth, is it normal for you to meet a noble person? Didn’t you hate conforming to fate?”
“Because of the mansin’s karma, my entire life up until now has been denied, and even the lives of my adoptive parents have come to the point of collapse. Isn’t it too harsh to conform like this? And, I think that living my life fully is the way to repay the grace of my adoptive parents.”
Jang Soon-deok looked at Ji-hyeok, who was responding bluntly, with pity, and sighed deeply.
“Won, stubborn. To repay the kindness of my adoptive parents, I can’t hold back any more. Then I will give you my advice.”
“I will listen.”
“Just as the fate of your mansin is far from ordinary, it is certain that the fortuneteller of your nobles is extraordinary. If you have made up your mind to make money with fortune tellers and contemplation, show off your skills to your heart’s content and attract extraordinary people. Do you understand what I am saying?”
Jihyo nodded and replied.
“Thank you, Mother.”
“good night. One last favor.”
“Speak, Mother.”
Jang Soon-deok suddenly raised his voice.
“Are there fellow initiates outside?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Soon, a man with a round face and a naive look entered the shrine.
“Do you know each other? Dongsu, you are two years younger than Jihyeok. From now on, I will treat you respectfully as your older brother.”
Dong-soo glanced at Ji-hyeok and replied.
“Yes, old man.”
Ji-hyeok, who did not know the English language, asked Jang Soon-deok.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“The late sister-in-law was once a well-known god’s daughter. In the first place, he had no children, but after giving birth to Dong-soo and living in a shrine, Dong-soo’s door was opened.”
“ah······.”
It was only then that Jihyeok understood Jang Sundeok’s words.
In the first place, when a person who was not born with a ghost gate opens, miscellaneous ghosts will boil over.
It is enough to receive the Naerimgut, but once the door is opened, it will always stick again.
When Jang Shun-deok is healthy, there will be no problem, but at the age of 82, Jang Shun-deok didn’t have much time left.
“Don’t worry, mother. I will take good care of you.”
“So, are you leaving today?”
“Yes, Mother.”
Jang Soon-deok, who was sad that he couldn’t say goodbye, said while stroking Ji-hyeok’s hand.
“I wish I could have met you earlier… Then you wouldn’t have had such a hard time…”

When I came out, the initiate who came out first parked the old Avante in front of the shrine and waited.
“Brother, where shall we take you? Oops, can I call you brother? Or by nameless…”
“no. I’m not going to see the new store, so just call it whatever you feel comfortable with.”
“Ah…then are you planning to set up a fortune teller?”
“Even if you don’t go to the store, you still have to worship God, so you should set up a shrine.”
It was said that she would become a shaman, but she would only see fortune tellers or contemplations without holding divine fortunes using her magical powers.
Jihyeok called out to Dongsoo, who had an expression of incomprehension, in a low voice.
“Dongsoo, come closer for now.”
It was to see the contemplation, but there was a look of bewilderment on the expression of Dong-soo, who did not know the circumstances.
Dong-soo was generally a fool, but once he opened his heart, he was an honest man who would never betray him.
Jihyeok asked Dongsu, thinking that he had a fairly decent younger brother.
“Dongsu, I’m saying this because I don’t know the situation in Korea… Where is the richest neighborhood in Korea?”
“Are you rich? That’s what Gangnam is. Among them, Cheongdam-dong is probably the richest neighborhood.”
“Oh, yes? Cheongdam, a clear pond… How are you? I’m trying to make the signboard Cheongdam Dosa…”
“yes? Are you a master of Cheongdam?”
I thought Dongsoo was too light of a name for a guru.
“By the way, are you thinking of setting up a new church in Cheongdam-dong?”
“If you want to make a lot of money, you have to go to a place with a lot of money.”
“Brother, did you not hear me? It is said that the monthly rent is the most expensive neighborhood in Korea. You will get a loan and pay the monthly rent in a hurry. I’d rather look towards the Gangbuk area…”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“Don’t worry. Before becoming a shaman, my specialty was making money.”
“No, but Cheongdam-dong is a bit…”
“Have some faith, Dongsu. If you do a good job, I will buy you a house in Cheongdam-dong.”
Up to this point, Dong-soo thought that an ignorant guru was spouting nonsense.
***
After arriving in Seoul, Ji-hyeok and Dong-soo went looking for real estate in Cheongdam-dong.
After walking around three or four real estate properties for about an hour, Ji-hyeok realized why Dong-soo was looking at him with that expression.
‘How do you get a 50-pyeong apartment with less than 100 million, this friend?’
‘With that money, I can’t get a mall the size the customer wants.’
Ji-hyeok has only about 100 million left.
It had to be at least 50 pyeong to set up a shrine and make a waiting room, but a rental property of that size exceeded 100 million won in deposit alone.
I changed my mind and tried to find a smaller place, but it wasn’t easy either.
‘I’m sorry, but the landlord is a devout Christian, so I can’t sign a contract with a shaman.’
Dong-soo put on an arrogant expression, showing that he knew that.
“Brother, that’s why we should just go to Gangbuk. If you become famous, everyone will come to you anyway.”
“Where are you going to leave the best place in the world? Let’s look around some more.”
In fact, the moment Jihyeok looked at the map of Seoul in the real estate market, he immediately realized why there were so many rich people in Cheongdam-dong.
Earth energy continuously flowed along the mountain range surrounded by several layers, and when the energy met the water, which was a left blue dragon, it stopped moving forward, confining and concentrating the good energy.
Truly a place of honor.
The spirits contemplating Jihyeok also said that they liked this place.
While Ji-hyeok and Dong-soo were arguing over the location, a call came from the real estate agent they had visited for the first time.
It was said that there was a good seat.
[Cheongdam Daebak Real Estate]
“Oh, my young friends are already here. Earlier, I was distracted and couldn’t respond properly. What is it? To be honest, I was a little taken aback when they said that they would use that money to get a place over 50 pyeong. You said you want the parking lot to be quite big?”
The old man, who had responded in short language on his first meeting, greeted Ji-hyeok and Dong-soo with a friendly expression.
Jihyeok replied.
“I looked around and I understood the market price. I think I must have been crazy too. By the way, didn’t you say you had no place to introduce us to?”
“Oh, I did. But you guys didn’t tell me anything important either.”
“What are you talking about…”
“Are you guys shamans?”
“Ah… I did get a kick out of it. Did you do that in another property?”
The old real estate agent said with a smirk.
“So what. It’s a place where you can get lucky in this neighborhood because everyone knows each other. Well, if I had told you in detail from the beginning, wouldn’t you have taken two steps?”
To be honest, I was barred from the door even before I said that I would set up a new party, so there was a bit of unfairness.
“Most of the handsome young men like you are looking for a place in a bar or cafe, so I thought it was the same this time too. Anyway, there’s a spot just right for you guys.”
“hmm······.”
It was obviously good news, but Jihyeok’s expression was grim.
“why? Have you signed a contract with someone else?”
“It’s not like that, but seeing that you brought up the word after knowing that I’m a shaman, it doesn’t seem like a normal sale.”
“Keuheum, you’re surprisingly quick to notice. You’ll find out anyway, so I’ll be honest with you. There is a two-story building right under Cheongdam Park. It has plenty of space and the yard is quite large, so it’s perfect for a parking lot.”
It was just the sale of the painting that Jihyeok had in mind.
“By the way, it’s a haunted house that has been empty for three years.”
“A haunted house?”
Jihyeok couldn’t help but tilt his head.
It was a feeling that something didn’t fit, to say that the richest village in Korea was haunted.
“It’s a building that was built less than 10 years ago. But for some reason, there is a problem with every person who enters as a tenant there?”
“What was the problem?”
“First of all, cafes and restaurants go bankrupt, and one time… Aye, yes. You’ll find out anyway one person died A young woman who started a business out of debt hanged herself.”
Jihyo nodded and said.
“That’s enough to call the shaman several times. Did you do good?”
“That’s what…”
“Please speak plainly. That’s how we make our judgements.”
“Actually, the old owner of the building is an old friend of mine. But this guy is a terrible sleeper. I introduced the shaman a few times to try a gut, but no, well. If it doesn’t work, isn’t it making a fuss about not being able to pay?”
“Looks like no one was going to do it.”
For a shaman to do a gut, it basically costs more than 2 to 3 million won just to set the table, but no one would have stepped forward to say that they would pay it later and pay it as a performance system.
“It is. In other words, did I see a haunted house once or twice while doing bokdeokbang for decades? No matter how many times I say that I’m sure I’m possessed by a ghost, I can’t understand the language, so I’m sorry.”
After hearing this, Jihyeok felt that it was definitely not natural.
In the first place, Cheongdam-dong has become a great place because it is geographically condensed with both energy.
It would not be good for a eumtaek (meat seat), but there is no place like this for a yangtaek (house site).
That’s why most ghosts can’t stay in a place like this, but the old man in Bokdeokbang said as if he was certain that the building was haunted.
“If you can just get rid of the ghosts, I won’t know the rent, but the deposit will be drastically reduced. How can I… meet the landlord?”
“There is no reason to refuse. Before that, let’s check if the house is really haunted.”
