127 – Building a Nest
It shines like starlight, shines brilliantly like the light of a street lamp, and emits a light that catches the eye while changing its elongated shape while looking dazzling. The light that spreads as if breaking when you move your arm resembles the shape of a flame that disappears fleetingly, and the presence that disappears without regret whenever you pass by resembles ice that rolls while scattering cold air.
It could be said that it was indeed enough to deceive people.
So who are you trying to seduce?
Jinseong went out of his mansion with a golden armor wrapped around his body. Then, using the axis to move to the back mountain, he continued to use the axis to move mainly in the dark forest or ruins. After using the churn paper for a short time, his body felt dry, and the legs supporting his body trembled.
In particular, when he arrived far from the mansion, his soles were dry and twisted like tree bark, and the inside of the bright red skin was exposed underneath the dried and twisted skin on the soles of his feet. However, not even a single drop of blood flowed from him, as if it was a waste of blood flowing, and only the terrible pain that he felt every time he walked remained.
This is the master of the axis method.
He was a master of excessive use of the improved Chukjibeop (縮地法).

The axis method has changed several times.
According to what was recorded in history, the first axis method was a method of moving using the pulse.
In feng shui, mountains are not simply viewed as geographical features, but viewed by substituting them for people.
The bedrock was the bones of the mountain range, and the soil that covered it was like human flesh.
Naturally, they believed that mountains had vitality, and, like humans, blood vessels flowed and blood vessels converged.
Blood vessels of the mountains.
That was the pulse.
In other words, the vein is called the dragon vein.
People considered this dragon vein as a passage through which life flows, a string connecting blood and blood, and a lifeline that maintains nature. That is why they avoided this dragon vein during construction, and when a disaster struck the country, they used to investigate whether there was any problem with the dragon vein.
The chukji method was a way to use the vitality flowing in this vein like a river.
However, this first axis method had obvious disadvantages.

That is, it can only be used where a Mac exists.
Since it moves along the flow of the mountain, there is no problem when wandering around the steep mountain.
But are people living only in the mountains?
It is true that those who have the ability to use the Chukji method certainly live long in the mountains, but it is rare to live without seeing people at all. Unless you completely turn your back on the world, wouldn’t it be natural to stop by the village to chat with people and buy daily necessities?
In addition to this inconvenience, people’s protests were added.
The dragon vein is a sacred thing and should never be damaged, so it was a protest that people trampled on it and polluted it.
This protest grew stronger as time passed, and reached its climax during the reign of King Sejong.
In 1433, Gao Zhong’an wrote a long appeal.
『Those who fold the ground and run don’t have moderation, so they don’t think about their fountain and only think about convenience. This is to think only of the year’s produce, and forestsIt’s like those who burn and farm on it, but unlike the ignorant who need to open their eyes, they are doing this even though they know enough reason, so the sin can be said to be clear. Such rude behavior will surely cause problems in Jiji, so from now on, please punish those who despise dragon veins, and forbid them from disturbing the purity of the blood by stepping on the vitality. 』
After that, those who were proficient in feng shui, such as Mokhyoji, appealed to King Sejong that those who tried to tamper with dragon veins should be severely punished and made a taboo. And King Sejong, who received this appeal, forbade riding on the dragon vein, and in this way the first Chukji law almost disappeared into history…
Fortunately, it reappeared in an improved form by those who did not forget the convenience of the axis method.
But as if he had a hemp, he kept having problems.
When it was improved by using earthenware and woodware, it was engulfed in the flames of war and the country was completely burned down, leaving only bare mountains and dead land, so there was a problem with its use. I just tried to use the energy of nature, but with the development of the industry, it became polluted and the efficiency became a mess.
In addition, with the advent of cars and trains, the reason to use the axis method disappeared.
In modern times, the axis method has become a half boss.
In addition, since witchcraft was destroyed through the tragedy of the nation, it would have been natural for Chukjibeop to disappear into history as it was originally.
However, after World War III, the axis method was once again improved.
A method of ‘using the energy inside one’s body’ was created by the hands of an unknown person.
To be precise, the existing axis method was infinitely divided and lowered, and the energy stored in the human body was improved so that it could be used as a driving force.
If the existing axis method had great efficiency but required too much force, the improved axis method was not very efficient and required only a small distance to move, but it was a form that could barely be used by the human body.
The idea of seeing the human body as a microcosm and using it as energy by drawing earthenware and woodenware from there was like a revolution. Unfortunately, very few people use it.
‘Sorcery touches a person’s body, soul, and spirit.’
That’s what it’s worth.
If you spend years wearing uncomfortable shoes, the shape of your feet changes, and if you have bad eating habits, a disaster called a disease will surely come.
However, if there is a difference, general spells are very weak and change slowly.
Something like consciousness is about changing that person in an instant.
That’s why other talented people don’t want to touch witchcraft.
Even if there is magic that uses mana, wizards do not want to touch it, and even if there is magic that uses qi and vitality, warriors do not use it recklessly. Even if it was convenient for a moment, it was sure to cause problems.
It will change the shape of the place where the magical energy is stored, block the channel through which the energy flows, or change it strangely.
It will be an obstacle that hinders you when you have to go beyond the body to the realm of the soul, and it will start from a speck of dust and become a simma that tries to tear your mind apart.
For those who aspire to a higher level, even a grain of sand becomes a huge rock, and when they cross a wall, it becomes an obstacle like a weight weighing more than 1,000 pounds that hangs over them.
So, even if the axis method is improved, it is generalized.There wasn’t much to write about for a human being.
Even if it was used, it was only used when life was in danger.
‘It’s enough to treat or regenerate the skin, and to stop the weakening of the bones with other spells.’
However, it was a story that had nothing to do with Jinseong.
It can move by folding the ground at the cost of weakening its skin and bones.
It’s hard to find a spell that’s as sweet as this one.
Jin-seong continued to move to a village in Chungcheongbuk-do using his retainer, regardless of the peeling of the skin on the soles of his feet.
Where Jinseong arrived, there were several small houses and a well.
It was an ordinary well.
‘Arrived.’
However, Jinseong moved towards that place with his eyes shining.
The well placed next to the well-polished road was piled with polished, well-groomed white stones, and the shape of the stones piled up was in the shape of a well. Stones the size of a person’s head were stacked in three tiers, and a small stone lantern was placed next to them.
The stone lantern was made on a square platform, and near the top, a metal that gave off a strange energy was shining as the sunlight reflected.
The metal sent very weak magical energy to a small antenna at the back of the well, and the antenna turned the weak magical energy into a blur and sent it down the clearing on the side of the well.
It was a sophisticated magic barrier for crime prevention.
If a problem arises, it will be activated immediately and the suppressing magic will be fired at the beings within range.
Jinseong moved carefully so as not to fall within the range of the barrier.
And he looked at the notice erected at the back of the well.
『The well that announces the end times』
A well that announces the end times.
In other words, the well of the last days.
It was a well with a legend that disasters will come whenever the water overflows, and if it overflows three times, the world will perish.
Jin-seong laughed at that.
