chapter 21
When I thought that I might go to the bathroom in my turn, I burst into laughter.
It was definitely smarter and cleaner than other insects.
A thought came to mind more suddenly.
‘The punishment is out of control.’
Beekeeping is clearly different from other livestock industries.
Because my father raised cattle, it felt more like skin.
Raising cattle meant raising livestock for food.
confinement and control of livestock. Humans even intervened in childbirth.
Bees are raised like cows or pigs and are not eaten. They only harvest honey and other by-products from their labor.
It was also necessary to collect only a portion of it. Honey is also food for bees. If a certain portion is not left, the bee will starve to death.
Being a beekeeper is learning to live with bees.
It was completely different from the livestock raised in captivity.
He seemed to understand a little bit why the plum said he had to get permission from the bee.
They are only small creatures, but if you do not understand their lives, you cannot raise them.
At the end of the thought, I closed my eyes.
‘Sleep comes even in a place like this.’
I fell into a deep sleep in an instant.
* * *
I turned around and opened my eyes.
The wax candle was still burning.
An unbelievable sight was caught in front of my eyes.
The cave was full of bees.
It looked like it had all come out of the hive.
I got goosebumps.
He immediately left his seat and got up.
Tens of thousands, maybe millions of bees were staring at me.
I couldn’t figure out why he came out.
The guys started moving quickly.
I wondered if they would scatter in all directions, and then they piled up like snowballs over and over again.
And then he created a shape.
It was weird.
‘The appearance of a person.’
At first, I thought I was mistaken because there was no situation.
What the bee swarm created while floating was obviously a human figure.
It wasn’t just imitation of a human figure.
He even walked like a human.
It was coming to me.
The beeswax candle burned.
The reflection in the yellow light looked creepy.
The distance was gradually narrowing.
It was when it came close.
Then I remembered what Master Maehwa had said.
[Never be afraid when the bee comes out]
between fiction and reality

Once upon a time on TV, I saw a man with a bee covering his body.
It was a kind of show that challenged the Guinness Book of Records or was held as an extraordinary event.

Now I am the showman.
A swarm of human-shaped bees became one with my body.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that my body was completely occupied. The bees crawling over their faces covered their eyes, nose and mouth.

Normally, in such a situation, it would be natural to struggle. But I didn’t even move.
It was because the words of Maehwa were engraved in his mind.
[Never be afraid when the bee comes out]
I didn’t know she went through the same thing as me. I didn’t go into details, but I knew that this was going to happen, so I thought he was listening to me.
I tried to find peace of mind.
Basically, honeybees are not as aggressive as wasps. The poison sting is the last bulwark.
The moment the stinger is spit, the internal organs escape and die. The bee knew instinctively.
However, the feel of the bees moving on the skin was not good.
After some time passed, it felt like nothing. It seems that if you endure such a difficult task, you will get used to it.
I even thought that I could sleep like this.
I didn’t expect such a test to wait, but I thought I could easily pass it.
That was then.
‘What is this?’
At that moment, a human figure appeared in my mind.
‘what? It’s me.’
He obviously had his eyes closed. My face appeared like a light on the screen.
This was me before I returned.
Faced with the past, it felt really strange.
I looked at my father who had failed and was resentful. It was also seen that the advertisers had a hard time keeping up with them.
In the worst case, the struggle scene continued like a panorama.
‘That’s why people went crazy.’
I remembered the governor’s words.
It was only now that I understood the words of being a bad person or going crazy.
Each nuns who practiced must have had their own story.
He went crazy the moment he looked back at his past, which he didn’t want to turn back to.
There was a certain power in this cave that could confuse people’s minds.
The bee felt like it was being used by its power.
It was not known whether the spiritual energy of Mt. Jirisan moved people’s hearts or whether the cave itself had a bizarre power.
What is certain is that they are targeting the weakest link of the opponent.
‘The more you look, the more interesting it is.’
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My past was constantly being projected right before my eyes.
I stared quietly at a scene from the past that looked like a movie.
was not greatly disturbed.
Rather, I could look at it objectively.
The past was not an object of fear for me.
It was just the past.

Only the future I was going to pioneer had meaning.
It was getting boring.
‘stop.’
The aura that surrounds me also seems to have read my mind. A gloomy atmosphere engulfed the surroundings.
Like the stock window of a full-time investor, numerous screens broadcast my failures.
It looked like he was going to lose his soul.
I was yawning, let alone losing my soul.
I yawned loudly and my eyes opened on their own.
There were no bees to be seen all over the body. The mysterious screen was also gone.
A bright light enveloped me warmly.
‘Is the day bright already?’
The morning sun filled the cave. He got up from his seat and walked towards the hive.

Now, I had no intention of wearing the equipment.
I don’t know if it’s fiction or true, but I was surrounded by bees until recently.
Experience makes you forget your fears.
I opened the lid of the hive without hesitation. The bees were quietly in the hive.
It looked like it was sleeping in a circle.
It felt like a gentle puppy. Without realizing it, I laughed.
“Sleep well.”
The bees were sleeping, but my day had just begun.
‘Now I’m not afraid to meet ghosts.’
I thought while cleaning around the hive. I didn’t think the bee did harm to me.
I thought that supernatural powers made fun of people.
It was like a space with a lot of energy that I had only heard of.
I didn’t even know it was a place where shamans looked for gods a long time ago.
‘This is very clean.’
Bees were clean insects. I also wanted to take care of my surroundings.
After cleaning the cave, I went out. After tossing and turning all night, I was hungry.
We had breakfast at the spring.
It was a rice ball that I had cleaned and put in my pocket. What had been completely frozen melted at the body temperature and turned into something easy to eat.
It was the way to go to the cave after eating and scooping water.
It started snowing.
It was a big snowball like a flower.
* * *
At that time, an emergency response meeting was held at Jijangsa, led by Ju Ji Yeon-hwa.
It had already been two days since Deokmyung left for the cave. There was still one more day left.
Since there were a lot of ugly things happening, Joo Yeon-hwa was showing the bottom of her patience.
The loss of contact was a cause of concern, but it was also due to the weather.
I couldn’t stand watching people get hurt because of bees.
The monks gave their opinions.
“Calling the rescue team…”
“It snowed a lot. It will be difficult for the rescue team to come.”
“Then you mean there is no way?”
“The promised time is praying until tomorrow…”
The nuns who were in charge of the branch offices gave their opinions. Yeonhwa did not like their opinion.
That was then. The door opened and Kahi came in.
It was an outfit that could climb the mountain right away.
“I will go.”
“Mr. Gahee.”
Joo-ji looked at Ka-hee with a surprised expression. Behind him, a cotton monk was attached like a puppy.
“Sister, you can’t do this here.”
While Kahi and Myeonhwa were fighting, the governor sent all the other monks out.
“Kahee, can we talk for a moment?”
The governor calmed Kahi. He took off the backpack he was carrying on his back. The quick-witted cotton-hwa took Ka-hee’s backpack and quietly disappeared.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of your safety.”
“I lost contact for two days. I’m afraid I might have had an accident.”
“Again, I am responsible for the safety of Mr.
“I didn’t mean to make you worry either.”
“I know. I fully understand that. Come in and get some rest.”
Kahi followed her words. He said he would go and find him, but he didn’t even know where he was.
Kahi quietly returned to the room where Cotton was waiting.
Ju Ji Yeon-hwa came out of the room and looked for Mae-hwa. She was sorting honey jars in the warehouse. Today, the pace of the writing has been fast.
The writing was flying.
[Wait, can we talk?]
[Yes, you tell me]
[Contact with Kim Deok-myeong has been lost. The weather is too bad
[I can’t even move now. As the saying goes, the road is frozen and dangerous]
[I know]
It was close to resentment that Yeon-hwa spoke to Mae-hwa. Everything seemed to have happened because of the plum blossoms.
But Maehwa’s face was calm.
To Yeon-hwa, it felt even more absurd.
[Sir, I don’t think you need to worry]
Plum Blossom handed the memo with a calm expression.
[Why do you think so?]
[Don’t you remember the master monk too? The fact that most of them didn’t last a day and came back]
Yeonhwa brought back her memories. It really was. There were those who could not endure a day and returned to the temple in the middle of the night.
He came back in the dark night when there was no way to tell. Mostly it was. When asked how he found the way, he falsely said that he saw the way in his head.
Unlike them, Kim Deok-myeong was there for the second day.
Yeon-hwa hoped Mae-hwa was right.
It was also the most hopeful word for now.
* * *
The snow fell nonstop. I lit a wax candle and read a book in the cave. It was a book I had in my mind.
Among the books in the hall, I picked out a book that I could get my hands on. It was an old comic book.
It was a comic book that was made to easily introduce Buddhist knowledge.
I had no interest in Buddhism, but it was the funniest novel in the world at the moment. It was a story about a young man who had gone away from home and attained enlightenment and became a Buddha.
Like me, the main character in the cartoon got a great enlightenment in the cave.
–
A cold wind blew The snow was getting thicker and thicker. Food was almost running out.
‘If I just sleep tonight, it’s over.’
I was more hungry today. I didn’t finish the food in case I went back tomorrow.
In my head, I pictured a table with warm rice and soup.
Just thinking about it made me salivate and feel hungry.
I went into my sleeping bag thinking about sleeping or sleeping.
I couldn’t sleep because something strange happened last night.
I stared at the hive silently.
A beehive was seen coming out of the entrance.
Something was strange.
‘what. what’s the matter?’
I got out of my sleeping bag. The bee that came out of the hive fell off shortly after.
It looked more like he was frozen to death rather than dead.
I opened the lid of the hive and checked the condition.
The bees were clustered in a spherical shape. It looked like a golden ball.
They rubbed each other’s bodies to maintain their body temperature.
‘what? They will all freeze to death.’
The beehive was attached as much as possible and a sleeping bag was placed over it. I just wanted to prevent the bees from becoming dynamic.
After a few minutes, I realized my mistake. I was about to become a Dongtae.
‘Have a conscience, did you take back what you gave me?’
I was thinking about bringing the sleeping bag covered with the beehive back.
I even thought that it would be nice if bees would wrap their whole body like yesterday.
It wasn’t just alcohol that wasn’t the only business.
There was no one left in the cold.
I moved to the end of the cave. The inside of the cave seemed to be a little warm.
When I reached the deepest point, a wall came out.
It was a dead end space.

Oddly enough, the walls were hollow.
