- A Great Qi Is Buried in Soon-chahng County
- 1 That autumn, while Sahng-jeh-nim was staying in Pee-no Village, He visited Bahk Jahng-geun’s house in Nohng-ba-ooh Village in Soon-chahng County.
- 2 He said to the disciples gathered there, “In this place, a great qi is buried. I will now release and use it.
- 3 Because Jun Bohng-joon and Chey Ik-hyun were not the right people, they were harmed in this place.”
- 4 As Sahng-jeh-nim was conducting a work of renewal, Hwahng Eung-johng arrived. Sahng-jeh-nim said, “Because a person from Go-bu has arrived, I will operate a ba-dook board.”
- 5 He recited:
- 英雄消日大中華 四海蒼生如落子
- Heroes pass their time playing ba-dook on the land of Korea.
All people in the world are ba-dook stones.
- 6 Sahng-jeh-nim then made a cone-shaped hat out of paper, wrote on it, “General Ma,” and hung it in the doorway.
- 7 Using rice straw, He made a curfew bell with a circumference of twice a man’s arm-span, hung it from the middle of the ceiling, and covered it with white paper.
- 8 Around the bell, He wrote the characters for the twenty-four directions and some other words. He then cut paper in the shape of fish scales and pasted the pieces all around the bell. In the end, it looked like armor.
