The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

134.

The road to the factory site of the Huain Group, which is said to be in trouble.

The way to go was with Lee Hyun-ah, as Chairman Lee Seong-min had predicted.

The vehicle was not a police car, but belonged to the Huain Group, and was driven by Jin Yuna, Lee Hyun-ah’s secretary.

and in the meantime.

I tilted my head as I received information from Lee Hyun-ah about the problem with the factory site.

“There… What do you have?”

“It’s a white elk.”

Lee Hyun-ah casually repeated what she had said earlier.

But I still didn’t understand.

I was asking a question.

“Why is it a problem that the white elk is there?”

“It’s not just an albino elk. It is a white rock that is treated as a spiritual object.”

Baekrok is a spiritual creature that is mainly related to mountain spirits.

Also, as you can see from the fact that the lake at the top of Mt. Halla is called Baeknokdam, it appears frequently in Jeju Island folktales.

It is also a type of deer that is said to have existed there at one time.

But such a white rock is an elk.

Isn’t that a bit odd?

“Is an elk a white deer?”

“Baekrok as a spiritual creature can appear in any deer. And the gorilla… A deer is a deer.”

In response to my question, Lee Hyun-ah gave a brief explanation of elk.

There are almost no legends or tales in which elk directly appear.

One thing that remains even in Korea is that if you eat elk meat, three generations will be unlucky.

There is a saying among old people and hunters that if you wander around the mountains at night, a deer with teeth will catch you.

On the other hand, there are countless traditions related to deer, which is a higher concept of elk.

Lee Hyun-ah said that some of the traditions related to deer were passed on to elk.

“It is not impossible. Among the deer remaining in Korea, the most prosperous is the elk, no matter what anyone says. So, if a spirit creature belonging to a deer appears at this point, the probability that it is an elk is bound to be that high.”

There are many ways to become a spirit creature, but the simplest way is to just live a long time.

Something like a hundred-year-old fox becoming a nine-tailed fox.

So what Lee Hyun-ah said was theoretically correct.

If there is a deer that survives long enough to become a spirit creature, in modern times it is most likely an elk.

“so… Are you saying that the appearance of the spiritual elk is the problem?”

“We don’t know about monsters, but we can’t easily touch spiritual creatures.”

That was a fact I knew, so I nodded.

Spiritual creatures are beasts with special powers and intelligence.

In addition, its power is generally helpful to humans, and sometimes there are spiritual creatures that prevent impending disasters.

So, when a spirit creature appears, it is not acceptable to harm it arbitrarily.

In fact, in the past, there have been cases of accidents, such as a sudden flood or landslide when a spirit creature was eliminated without thinking.

So even if you find a spiritual creature, it’s best to leave it alone.

If this was not possible, the principle was to follow appropriate procedures to capture the spirits and send them to the relevant authorities.

“Then the purpose must be to capture that white elk alive.”

“For now, yes. That spiritual creature is currently blocking access to the factory premises.”

“Are you interfering?”

“yes. He leads the surrounding elk and blocks the road to the mountain altogether. You will probably see it soon.”

Lee Hyun-ah said so, probably coming to the vicinity of the mountain where there is a factory site.

“So I can’t drive around here. You will have to walk quite a bit, are you okay?”

Lee Hyun-ah added that with an apologetic face.

But I shook my head.

“I don’t think you need to walk.”

“yes… ?”

At my words, she looked at the road leading up the mountain.

Contrary to what Lee Hyun-ah said, the elk that were said to be occupying the road were nowhere to be seen.

“uh… It can’t be like this?”

Lee Hyun-ah looked at the road with surprised eyes.

However, even while the vehicle was going up the mountain on the road, the elk was not even visible.

“I am not lying. Apparently, even yesterday-”

“sure. I know.”

The reason why the elk disappeared was, of course, because of the spirit of the white tiger I had.

The deity that controls wild beasts and tigers must be an object of submission and fear to elk, who are in a predicament.

“Just looking at the road conditions, it seems clear that there was an elk.”

“that… Yes.”

The roads in the mountains were dirty with elk hair and excrement.

Also, looking at the trees and wild grass around me, I could clearly see that the elk on the road just before I came had run away in a panic.

Is that why?

Lee Hyun-ah, who was observing the road with me, looked at me.

“Did you do something?”

“yes. There is a legend related to it.”

Anyway, if you meet a white elk, you will naturally know that I have the power to deal with animals, so I replied that way.

“also… You did.”

Then Lee Hyun-ah nodded as if she knew that.

After a while.

“Im here.”

Hearing Yuna Jin’s words from the driver’s seat, I got out of the car parked at the factory site.

Even the foundation work has not yet been completed, a land where nothing has been built on the ground.

However, there was nothing unusual about the site itself.

Nothing was visible, and there was no entrance to the station.

After looking around the site for a while, I asked Lee Hyun-ah a question.

“Have you ever had contact with an elk at the gallery?”

“I tried, but I couldn’t. It’s not easy. They desperately try to kick us out and refuse to even contact us.”

“Well, it’s in these mountains anyway.”

Lee Hyun-ah nodded at my words.

then… I didn’t even have to go find it.

So I called Keng Keng.

A fluffy white ball of fur appeared in front of me.

A four-tailed fox that recently added an extra tail.

The fox saw me and cried.

“Keng!”

“Ah, this child… ”

Lee Hyun-ah looked at Kyeong-keng and smiled softly, pretending to know him.

But I don’t think Lee Hyun-ah has ever seen Keng-Keng.

“Did you know?”

“Yuna… I heard from Deputy Jin. You have a cute food body.”

“… … ”

Even though her story came out, Yuna Jin, who stood behind Lee Hyun-ah, remained expressionless and did not respond.

Only those eyes are staring at Keng Keng right next to me.

“I guess you’re thinking of sending a food soul to explore first?”

“Rather than searching, I will bring it here. I thought it would only burden me if I went there myself.”

“I’m calling… ?”

What dwells in me is the spirit of the white tiger.

In front of it, even if it is not an ordinary elk, but a white rock that has inherited the power of a spiritual creature, it is equally frightening.

So, it was more efficient to send Keng-Kengi rather than searching for elk by myself.

Of course, Keng Keng also has the power of a nine-tailed fox.

However, the rank of the fox among wild beasts could not be said to be very high.

Let alone the tiger, he was in a position to be pushed back by wolves and wild dogs.

On the other hand, Baekrok is like a divine being of the mountain god, and there is no clear upper-lower relationship with the fox.

Also, this is the territory of the white deer where many elk, the descendant of the white deer, live.

So if it was at the level of a nine-tailed fox, Baekrok also had no reason to be afraid.

“Tell him to come and see him. Understand?”

“Keng!”

So I decided to send Keng-Kengi as an envoy.

Although I don’t know if the words will work between the fox and the elk.

At least the message that Baekho is calling you will be delivered somehow.

“It’s this small, will it be okay?”

Lee Hyun-ah said worriedly.

That’s right, he’s at the level of a small puppy now, so small that an ordinary elk would step on it just by passing by.

But Keng-Kengi had a new technique.

“Now it will grow.”

Yogurt.

It was a skill that awakened the spirit of the nine-tailed fox that dwelled in Keng Keng.

First, the white tail grew larger and covered Keng Keng’s body.

Keng-Keng-i, who was wrapped around his tail and turned into a ball of white fur, grew in size in an instant like a balloon.

And when Keng-Kengi emerged from the tail again, it was no longer a little fox, but a white fox with a beautiful and auspicious appearance.

Its body had grown larger than that of a human.

If you look at the size, it won’t be pushed by a tiger.

“Then go.”

“Keng!”

But the cries were still there.

Keng-kengi, which had grown so large, disappeared into the forest, followed by Lee Hyun-ah and Jin Yuna, looking blankly.

Then, suddenly, Lee Hyun-ah noticed my gaze and opened her mouth.

“Are you really going to send only that fox?”

“yes. You’ve grown that much, are you still anxious?”

“Not that… It’s because of Baekrok’s tendency. Maybe it’s because the original is an elk, but I have a bad personality. Even when our exorcists tried to make contact, it was quite difficult.”

A gorilla with a bad personality.

I’ve seen it a few times in the military, so I understood what you were saying.

Even a nine-tailed fox must think that persuasion with words alone is difficult.

But there was nothing to worry about.

Behind the nine-tailed fox, Keng-kengi, is the white tiger, the king of all mountain beasts and the king of Mount Tai.

And Baekrok must be at least aware that I sent the nine-tailed fox.

So he couldn’t easily see Keng Keng.

Keng-Kengi’s message must be an order from Baek-ho to Baek-rok.

From Keng Keng’s point of view, it was literally like escort.

“There will be nothing to worry about.”

So I said that, and Lee Hyun-a reluctantly nodded with a questioning face.

and after some time

“Keng!”

Not long after, Keng-Kengi proudly appeared in the forest.

After that, a white elk, seemingly dead, broke through the bush and followed.

“… … ”

Is it because it is a white record?

Its size was significantly larger than that of an ordinary elk.

Even so, it’s not as big as a reindeer, but it’s a little smaller than a horse, so it’s hard to see it as an elk.

Also, the teeth protruding from the bottom of its mouth are thick and long like those of a saber-toothed tiger.

Usually white roks have big horns, but maybe because they don’t have horns, their teeth got bigger.

Even so, it was surprising that they fit so well together.

“really… You are here.”

On the other hand, when Lee Hyun-ah saw that the white elk, which she had been looking for but could not find, walked quietly on her own feet, Lee Hyun-ah muttered in disbelief.

But, suddenly coming to her senses, she immediately tilted her head.

“Then are you going to capture them alive?”

Having come this far, capturing the white elk was so easy for me.

The baekrok standing in front of me can’t even open his eyes properly.

If you’re weighed down by the force of the white tiger to this extent, even if I give you an order, you’ll follow it.

But there was still something that bothered me.

“wait a minute.”

I don’t know if it’s just a crazy elk.

There must be a reason why the elk that has reached the White Rock is occupying the factory site.

So just in case, I activated the navigation of the quest.

Then, the arrow of the quest was pointing not at the White Rock, but toward the forest where the White Rock walked out.

That said, there is something more.

“Do you understand me?”

I sneakily talked to the white elk.

From nob le mt l. com

Just like the Imoogi did last time, I was wondering if the words would work.

however.

“talent… Kiek… !”

Baek-rok was frozen and let out a grotesque cry.

It would be impossible to have a conversation like this.

So I just pointed my finger in the direction the arrow on the quest was pointing.

Then, Baekrok’s eyes flickered and reacted.

“Guide me.”

“talent… Kiek?”

Baekrok, not understanding my words, tilted his head.

Keng Keng, who was next to him, seemed frustrated by that appearance.

“Keng!”

“Keeek!”

Surprisingly, Keng-Kengi seemed to be able to understand what he was saying.

Well, didn’t Keng-Keng say that Keng-Keng was a divine beast of the Holy Mother of God in the quest?

Seondo Seongmo was both a hermit and a mountain god.

Therefore, it is not a coincidence that Keng-Kengi communicates with wild beasts, including Baek-rok.

“Kikki!”

Meanwhile, Baekrok started walking in the direction of the arrow with a strange cry.

Seeing the elk go back to the forest, Lee Hyun-ah opened her mouth.

“What did you do?”

“I’ve tried to talk, but it doesn’t work.”

At my words, Lee Hyun-ah looked at me with a strange gaze.

Of course he did just that.

Talk to Gorani?

You must be thinking that way.

So I immediately changed the topic.

“There must be a reason why Baekrok is blocking entry here. So I’m going to follow you for now.”

“Guidance… do you mean it? That white rock?”

Lee Hyun-ah opened her eyes wide and asked again.

So I nodded and went into the mountains after the white rock.

I climbed the mountain path for a long time, but unexpectedly, the mountain was quite deep.

There is not even a small trail, a mountain with almost no traces of human hands.

So I looked back at Lee Hyun-ah.

“Is there anything around here?”

“yes. This area is mostly undeveloped mountains. It’s a location with no particular merits other than that the land price is cheap.”

Is that why there were so many gorillas?

I looked at the white rock ahead.

That elk, Baekrok blocked people from entering the mountain itself.

That said, there is something in the forest where people are rare.

Did the White Rock try to protect it from people?

“hmm… ”

I walked the mountain path thinking of a few possibilities like that.

And soon after, Baekrok stopped walking.

“talent… Eh.”

What Baekrok looked at as if it was here… what kind of rock

No, rather than a rock, it is a tombstone.

From nob le mt l. com

Jangseung (jangseung) stood on either side of the tombstone.

However, how old the jangseung was, even the engraved Chinese characters were almost erased.

Also, their bodies were not in good shape, and all of them had broken heads and disappeared somewhere.

And the large tombstone placed in the middle of the headless jangseung was also split in half.

Originally, it was 2 meters high and 1 meter wide.

“This… ”

I looked at the tombstone.

There was also a rope that seemed to have been wrapped around the tombstone nearby, but it also seemed to have rotted and broken over the years.

Enough of this… I don’t think it’s been 10 or 20 years.

Could it be something from the Joseon Dynasty?

The moment I was guessing like that.

Lee Hyun-ah, who was glaring at the letters engraved on the tombstone, opened her mouth.

“This is the sealing stone.”

It’s a sealing stone that was split in half.

It wasn’t a pleasant word.
