128 – Building a Nest
* * *
At the time of King Sejo, there was a small village.
This village was inhabited by simple people, but unfortunately, they were very cruel to those who robbed them, which was the exact opposite of their personality. It was difficult to farm because there were many stones, and there was no well in the village, so we had to draw water from afar.
However, there were no tigers on the nearby mountain, so there was no chance of being discharged, so that was the only comfort.
One day, the villagers worked together to live a difficult life.
A monk came to the village.
After walking for a long time on a hot summer day, the monk was so thirsty that he stopped at the village and asked for a glass of water.
Strangely, however, the villagers do not appear no matter how much time passes.
Could it be that you forgot? Or has something gone wrong?
The monk waited in the room with curiosity, and after a few hours, a villager, covered in sweat, scooped up a bowl of water and handed it to him. The monk thought it strange and asked why his body was sweating so much.
[There is no spring in this village, so it is a long way to come. ]
When the monk was surprised and asked how far he had gone, it was over 10 li.
Impressed by the villagers, the monk thought that such a person should be blessed, and he decided to repay the villagers who had walked a long distance in the scorching heat only to treat himself to a glass of water. So he tried to repay him by using the magic he was learning.
However, in the eyes of a monk who learned feng shui while living in a temple, the geography of the village was not appropriate. There is no place where water can flow nearby, and it is difficult to find a place where rainwater collects. The mountains are good, but they are not suitable for farming.
So, the monk used the magic he knew to find a place where the water would come out.
[ After using witchcraft, it seems that if you dig into this rock, water will come out. ]
[Is there water under the rock? Aye, monk. You dug a rock, how does water come out? And there is no business in our town that can break this rock. ]
[Don’t worry. I’ll try to solve it. ]
The monk drilled a hole in the rock using a casting tool in the form of a staff he carried with him. Then he drove a wooden stake into the hole and made gold in the rock by repeatedly freezing and melting it.
After continuing such work for five days, spring water began to flow from the crevice of the rock, and the spot became a well that could be used by all the villagers.
[Originally, something like a huge and old rock can have spirituality, so I have to offer it as a sacrifice, but this will be replaced with my staff, so feel free to use water. ]
After saying that, the monk threw his staff through the crack in the rock, and the muddy water that came out of the rock became incredibly clean.
The villagers brought a willow struck by lightning that was stored in the village storehouse and held it out to the monk for the monk who threw the precious-looking staff for them.
[Ten years ago, lightning fell in the sky and a huge willow tree at the entrance of the village was burned. At that time, I got a wooden block with the shape of lightning, but the monk did not have a staff, so I would like you to take this and make it into a staff. ]
The monk was struck by lightning from a villagerReceived a tree However, instead of using it as a cane, it was well polished and made a frame for the well.
[It is a truly blessed thing to have a good heart. So, we have given this well a special ability, so now this well will produce hot water in the winter and cool water like ice in the summer. Also, no matter how much this water goes, it will never dry up, and no matter how much the water rises, it will never overflow easily. ]
However, the monk asked the villagers to do this.
[However, this well will overflow three times. Not because of the typhoon, not because of the sky, but only whenever there is a major change in the country, it will overflow as if shedding tears. So if you make good use of this well and the water overflows, you will have to hide yourself. And when the water overflows for the third time, be sure to leave the village because the end times will come. ]
The monk disappeared without leaving those words.
And the well has overflowed twice so far.
The first was overflowing at the beginning of the Imjin War.
The second was the year when the country was taken away by the Gyeongsul National Crisis.
This well also told the country of troubles due to the change in the water level. On June 24, 1950, the well was filled with water as if it were overflowing, and in 1999, as if the well was overflowing, the water was filled with water.
Because of this miracle, people regarded the well as a treasure.
* * *
‘It’s a really well-made casting.’
The well in the last days was a casting that was considered a national treasure before the return.
Before the war, one or two in a large country was a prophecy-related fetish, so it was considered ‘important but not necessary to care about’, but when World War 3 broke out and all kinds of crazy people started to appear, the world would end As soon as it ceased to be strange, fetishes equipped with the power of prophecy and warning became the same existence as the divination jar.
A treasure that can prevent the worst situation in which everything is destroyed without knowing anything.
The last bastion that can keep humanity alive.

An alarm that gives a chance to avert a world crisis.
It could not be regarded simply as a national asset.
Treasure of mankind.
A treasure necessary for the survival of mankind.
Therefore, it was a fetish with the power of prophecy and warning that was never touched even on the way back to the dead end.
However, receiving such precious treatment was not always a good thing.
Before the return, people who did not have a high social status like Jin-seong couldn’t even approach it at all.
A person of high social status…
For example, it could not even be approached by anyone other than the person acting as the face of the state or the person representing the armed forces of the state. They used all sorts of magic and spells to protect them, and they tried to protect the cast by changing the terrain in some cases.
Security was so tight that it was impossible to dream of sneaking in, and breaking through forcefully, even with nuclear weapons, was impossible.
Even now, there are iron-clad guards, but compared to before the return, it is new blood.
‘See. In the magic barrier, periodic satellite monitoring, CCTV, sensors, and a TOD (Thermal Observation Device) at the foot of the mountain in the distance. Perhaps the police will also patrol periodically, and in case of any eventuality, personnel will enter nearby houses.There must be.’
Only now
There is no chance except now.
If a war broke out, a high-level person would stick close to the well and act as a guard, and the animals and machines that approached would be cut into pieces and ground into powder. No, before you even get near the well, you’ll be hive in a shower of bullets, or your body will be torn into thousands or tens of thousands of pieces by bombs.
Although there are people with the ability to prepare for emergencies, the current focus is on surveillance.
At this point, you will be able to approach the well, resolve your curiosity, and have an amicable meeting with your goal.
‘Seeing that the CCTV was looking at me, it was already caught. I don’t have time anymore.’
Jinseong changed the shape of the mask and opened his mouth wide. Then the part of his chin cracked in all directions, creating a hole, from which a swarm of shiny things came out. Insects that looked like folded bills flapped their wings and flew in the sky, while insects made of gold fell to the ground unable to withstand the weight.
The golden worm crawled slowly across the floor, making its mark. The boat, which could not overcome its weight and stretched out, made long marks, and its six needle-like legs pricked the ground and made a hole.
Insects flying in the sky flapped their wings made of bills, and they flew to and fro like flying insects and then flew in groups towards one place, like moths that found a light.
And Jinseong started to move only after confirming that the insect was flying away.
Paji Jiji-!
As he stepped near the edge of his magic barrier, the barrier activated.
The metal in the stone lantern heated up red, and the antenna trembled with a beeping sound. And with him, devices hidden in the nearby trees and dirt kicked off in unison and sent electrical shocks at him.
A tremendous amount of electricity created sparks everywhere, flowing and shining through the gold Jinseong wore around his body. Not only that, but there was even a corona phenomenon that emitted blue light in the shape of a crown in various places.
However, Jin-seong believed in the golden armor he was wearing and approached the well at once using a damp paper.
Then he threw himself into the well.
