3- I see some contemplation
# 3. I do some contemplation
Moving to the second-floor building, Ji-hyeok could understand why the old man in Bokdeokbang had called this place a haunted house.
The building was filthy to the point where it was unsightly due to water stains on all sides, and even the weeds in the yard, which seemed to have been covered with grass, had lost their vitality and turned yellow.
It was too hideous for only leaving it empty for three years.
“Could you look around for a moment?”
The old real estate agent replied with a slight surprise.
“Ugh, I get chills just going around there. If you want to see Jung, go by yourself. I will wait for the landlord here.”
“All right. Then I will go and look around myself. Dongsoo, wait here too.”
It was good for Dong-soo, whose ears are open and easy to become possessed, to avoid such places as much as possible.
Dong-soo seemed to know his situation well, and followed him without saying a word.

When Ji-hyeok entered the building to look around, the old man from Bok-deok-bang spoke to Dong-soo.
“Are you that disciple of the shaman Park Soo-jin?”
“yes? It’s not like that.”
“okay? There doesn’t seem to be much of an age difference, but he treats you like someone below him… I thought you were a disciple or something.”
When the old man slightly scratched Dongsu’s pride, Dongsu responded in a huff.
“What is a shaman like? And since I’m the younger brother, I’m treating you as an older brother, not as a subordinate.”
“Ah, that’s right. By the way, I’m curious about it… Is that friend doing some guts?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn’t look like a shaman at all. Are you sure you’ve been brought down?”
“I’m sure I was given the gift about a year ago.
“hehehe, I was worried for nothing.”
“yes?”
“Oh, no. I’ll have to smoke a cigarette until your brother comes out.”
One might feel that the old man’s words were strange, but Dong-soo, who didn’t like to think, didn’t think much of it.
When the cigarettes were almost burnt out, Ji-hyeok and the old building owner appeared in front of the building at the same time.
“Welcome, Namcheol. These young friends are the guests I spoke of. say hello to each other This is the building owner, Jinan-cheol, the president.”
The old man of Bokdeokbang recommended greetings, but the president of Nancheol asked questions first.
“Can you exorcise the ghost that has clung to this building?”
“well. Even ghosts have many stories…”
“I don’t want to hear lengthy explanations. All the shamans I’ve met so far have tried to extort money from me with one reason or another. Let me just tell you the conclusion. Can you?”
Jihyeok seemed to be thinking for a while, but then opened his mouth.
“If you tell me the bottom line as you like, you can do it.”
The president of Jinancheol said with a slightly surprised expression.
“Okay, then I will set my deposit to whatever amount you want. I’ll cut the monthly rent as much as the cost of doing good. When are you going to do a gut?”
“I said I could, but I didn’t say I could.”
“…what did you just say?”
“It means I can, but I have no intention of doing it.”
“Heh… Look at me, Mr. Jang. Did you bring these swindlers before me again?”
It seems that the surname of the old man in Bokdeokbang was Jang.
“Ah, no, that’s not it… Hey, young friends! What kind of attitude is that now? I’m not kidding the old people, they asked me to show them the building as if they were confident, so you’re saying you can’t do an exorcism now?”
“Okay, I don’t want to talk to you guys any more, so connect me to the company you mentioned last time.”
The old man’s face straightened slightly at the words of the president of Jinan-cheol.
It was a subtle facial expression change that only Ji-hyeok, who studied his face frequently while studying contemplation, would recognize.
For a very short moment, the old man, Mr. Jang, who held back the laughter, said with a sad expression.
“Ugh, sorry. When I heard that I was setting up a shrine, I thought I was a shaman who did something properly, but I didn’t know that I would just put a rim like this. Anyway, don’t worry, I’ll give you the best price.”
In the eyes of the two old men, Ji-hyeok and Dong-soo were already invisible.
“It looks like the contract has been broken, so we’ll leave.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Kuhmm…”
The old man, Mr. Jang of Bokdeokbang, coughed for no reason and waved his hands.

After moving to a nearby cafe, Dong-soo asked Ji-hyeok.
“No, older brother, why did you just come when the old people are so rude?”
“Then shall I quarrel with the old men? It’s okay, you should go to another real estate right now and get the contact information for the president of Jin Nam-cheol.”
“yes? how do i know that? Personal information protection laws these days…”
“Just go and ask and they will teach you easily, so stop nagging and go. If you ask why, you can just say it’s because of the two-story haunted house.”
Dong-soo reluctantly went to the real estate, but complained that he would never teach him, but he was making trouble.
Dong-soo, who went out like that, returned with an absurd face less than 30 minutes later.
“I shouldn’t have given this to you so easily…”
Dong-soo handed over a memo with his contact information, and Ji-hyeok immediately called the old man.
The president of Jin Nam-cheol visited the cafe where Ji-hyeok was in less than 10 minutes, probably because he was nearby.
CEO Jin-cheol, who came to Ji-hyeok’s table, immediately apologized.
“I was sorry earlier. I don’t even know you well enough to say that you’re a scammer when I first met you…”
Seeing how he regretted saying such harsh words at the moment, I was able to properly understand the personality of President Nan-cheol.
Typical internal and external cavities.
He was the type of person who regretted hiding his tenderness with crude words.
“it’s okay. It is true that there are many shamans and scammers.”
President Nan-cheol shook his head, thinking that he was a pretty decent young man.
“So, why did you ask to see me again?”
“We are trying to make the old man’s building normal.”
The president of Jinancheol said with a slight frown.
“Is that the story again? It’s enough without a building like that, so let’s stop talking about it. And since the deal is already over with the sale to a big company, it’s their job to get rid of the ghosts.”
“Since you’re selling a haunted building, you must have cut the price quite a bit.”
“Is there anything special? There have been no tenants for several years, and no one has lived there.”
“Could you tell me how much you decided to sell?”
The president of Jinancheol hesitated for a moment before answering.
“…I decided to sell it for 7 billion. Originally, it was about 10 billion… Whoa.”
“okay. Then I will buy it for 8 billion.”
“Tongue, brother…”
Dong-soo looked at Ji-hyeok in amazement.
Jihyeok restrained Dongsoo with his hand and continued.
“The down payment is 50 million won, and the balance will be paid in two years. Instead, I will pay the monthly rent separately for 2 years. How is it? Would you like to sell it to me?”
“Huh… do you think I would make such a ridiculous contract? Aside from the balance, do you think it makes sense to pay 50 million won for an 8 billion contract? Then what if you don’t pay the balance in two years?”
President Jin-cheol spat out words like a hammer.
“Anyway, you are not in a hurry, and the fact that I set up a new church means that I will return the building to normal, so even if I don’t pay the balance in two years, wouldn’t it be easy to sell it for around 9 billion won? You won’t lose anything in many ways.”
After thinking about keeping his mouth shut for a while, President Nayeon-cheol slowly opened his mouth.
“Can you really cast out demons? More than that… do ghosts really exist?”
Jihyuk said with a soft smile.
“Don’t you already know?”
“Is that so…?”
“Yes, there were no ghosts in that building.”
“Then why did that happen? It’s even more frustrating because I don’t know why.”
“To be precise, there are ghosts, but the ghosts that were there were just one or two miscreants that could exist in any household.”
In fact, most houses and buildings have at least one or two ghosts.
Most of them are miscellaneous spirits that are not strong, so if you are healthy, you live without knowing it because you are not affected by it, and if you are a little weak, you are affected by it and press scissors.
In the old man’s building, there were just that many ghosts wandering around.
It means that the commonly referred to as Seongju or Jibakryeong is not located there.
“You seem to know exactly why it was there. can you tell me If you understand, I will write the contract as you said.”
“In fact, it is a perfect place where ghosts and the like can never dwell.”
Jinancheol nodded and said.
“I heard that too when I bought the land. But when I put the building up, the situation turned out like this.”
“The problem is the shape of the building and the Dolhareubang placed in the backyard. In the first place, a house with the second floor wider than the first floor goes against the law, and if you do business, you will inevitably go bankrupt. The solution is to remove even the temporary building on the first floor and expand it beyond the second floor.”
“Huh…was it that simple?”
“More important is Dolhareubang. Stone statues or tombstones are generally objects that radiate strong Yang energy. It is for this reason that tombstones are erected in cemeteries, and for this reason there are many Dolhareubangs in Jeju Island, which has a lot of water.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if it boosted your energy?”
“In general, it is, but the problem is that the land of the elders is a good place in the first place. You will know the term overpayment. The Yanggi of Dolhareubang stood blocking the road in a good place where the Yanggi would gather if they were quiet, so the two of them were in a fighting situation. In addition, the shape of the building is retrograde, so the yin energy is full.”
President Nan-cheol shook his head with his mouth wide open as if he couldn’t believe it at all.
“You will find it hard to believe. So what about this one? When it comes to gifts, the heart of the giver is important, but if you gifted Dolhareubang knowing the feng shui weakness in the first place… wouldn’t that be a gift and not an abomination?”
“Stop, I can’t believe that…”
Jihyeok’s clear explanation made the old man pass for a while.
“It seems that all of your questions have been resolved. Then can I ask you a question?”
“Whoa… ask me.”
“How did you become friends with Mr. Jang of Bokdeokbang?”
“Huh… Really, there are no ghosts. Did you know that it was Mr. Jang who gave you the Dol Hareubang?”
“Although I am a shaman, I mainly studied fortune telling and contemplation. I don’t know the owner of the two, but when I saw the award, I thought the two of them were too different to be friends. In such cases, it is usually the case that one side approaches with a dark mind.”
“You mean Mr. Jang had a dark mind. Could it be that I am the one with the dark heart?”
“As I said, I do some contemplation. The old man had thick eyebrows and many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, so he had accurate calculations and a friendly disposition. These people tend to earn money honestly and help people around them knowingly or unknowingly. So, you must have entrusted the management of the property to your friend Mr. Jang. Instead, he would have given only the amount prescribed by law. He must have taken care of his pride, but to someone who doesn’t know his insides, he might think he’s a mistress.”
At this point, the young man in front of Jeon Nam-cheol began to look like a real guru.
The great shaman was said to be ignorant (無不通知), and that word seemed to be referring to Jihyeok.
“It’s as if it came in and out of me. Then, what about Mr. Jang’s view?”
Jihyeok’s expression, which had been wearing a subtle smile the whole time, suddenly darkened.
“…Elders, why the hell did you become friends with someone like this? No, are you friends?”
