The Full Moon Portal
Episode 32
Accompanied by Jae Won, Yoo Ra gets a lot of information in this small village. There is plenty of time, and the afternoon is still long. The other friends are still trying to find information and interviews for presentation materials, Yoo Ra also has enough information that he can. It was time to find out about the marble stone, the two of them went around and looked for a place that was considered sacred in this area.
It's been going around, but it's not paying off. So Yoo Ra has to ask one of the residents here. There was a mother who was planting something in the garden behind her house, Yoo Ra approached the woman and then followed by Jae Won.
(Yoo Ra)
“Annyeong Hashimnikka's... “
(Ahkarma)
“Yes, what's up, son? (friendly)”
(Yoo Ra)
“Is there somewhere sacred in this village?”
(Ahkarma)
“Of course, there's a temple. It is the only temple in the village. Agassi looking for something in that temple?”
(Yoo Ra)
“I've heard, if on the island of Jeju there is a tombstone made of marble. And the stone is a sign of honor from the King to his Empress.”
(Ahkarma)
“I'm also not very clear about the stone, I also just moved here a few months ago. But I've heard, if in the temple there is a sacred place that stores marble rocks and relics of the great kingdom. Try agassi going there. Walk forward from here, about 100 meters you have found the temple.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Thank you very much. We excuse you.”
I have met the temple. The Buddhist temple is hundreds of years old and still stands. Without lingering and wasting time, they immediately entered the temple. It was very quiet and only 2 people were praying. From inside the room, someone came out. Looks like she's a nun in this temple. Yoo Ra was about to approach the nun, but Jae Won's phone rang.
(Jae Won)
“Yoo Ra-ya's. I was called by the tour guide. Let's just go back.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Seonbae only go. I continue here.”
(Jae Won)
“Where might I go and leave you alone, if lost how?”
(Yoo Ra)
“In front I saw there are friends who are still interviewing. Don't worry, I'm just a minute kok.”
(Jae Won)
“Alright, I go first.”
Jae Won immediately went to see the tour guide. Yoo Ra continued the search, and approached the nun sitting in front of the Buddha statue.
(Yoo Ra)
“Excuse me.. (murmuring) Jeez, I never even prayed at the temple.”
(Biksuni)
“Oh... please login.”
The nun who was in her 50s allowed Yoo Ra to enter the temple. As Yoo Ra went inside and wanted to ask something, the nun was shocked and dropped the mala (tasbih buddha) she was holding.
(Yoo Ra)
“Sorry surprise Biksuni (pick up mala).”
(Biksuni)
“You are..”
(Yoo Ra)
“Oh... Introduce my name Yoo Ra, I am a student who is visiting here.”
(Biksuni)
“Agassi... Come closer to.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Iya? (awkwardly)”
(Biksuni)
“Your face is very similar to her.”
(Yoo Ra)
“What do you mean?”
(Biksuni)
“Who is your real name?”
(Yoo Ra)
“Kim Yoo Ra.”
(Biksuni)
“Nak, your real name (guggup).”
Yoo Ra started to panic, it seemed like this nun knew something about him. This must not be allowed, his identity will be revealed. Who knows if this nun is one of the gods who served to watch over her. It's ridiculous, but it could be like that.
(Yoo Ra)
“Begini, I'm here to find the sacred marble stone.”
(Biksuni)
“(murmuring) he is very similar, is he reincarnated? I better show you the place. The stone is in the back pagoda, if agassi wants to know, please come with me.”
Entering the pagoda. Since the place was a sacred place, then Yoo Ra had to take off his footwear and go inside. The nun led Yoo Ra to look at the marble stone. In the middle of the room was a small plaque, Yoo Ra thought that what Jae Won meant was this thing.
(Yoo Ra)
“Biksuni, this plaque is the stone of honor that?”
(Biksuni)
“Oh, it's just a display. The real one is in the back. Come with me to the back garden of the pagoda.”
Yoo Ra followed the nun, walking from the pagoda towards the back garden. It turned out that this pagoda was the entrance, continuing to walk until it found a large door. The door was huge, the nun opened it with all her might. Wow... very beautiful, and there is a 2 meter monument made of marble. There is writing using the letter hanja, the contents are like a sentence that glorifies someone. Yoo Ra approached the monument, and touched it. At the top there is a carving of a person's face, unfortunately a thousand dear he can not see the carving clearly.
(Biksuni)
“Agassi, can I explain something.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Please.”
(Biksuni)
“This monument was made for a woman. Her position was very high, and she was no ordinary woman. She was destined to be a ruler, yet at that time women were intimidated humans. He made a new breakthrough, so that his people were able to lead and become prosperous. It's a hidden story, and in the '90s many were figuring out the history of this woman. Already found the bright spot, all told in the form of books. The story of this woman is very interesting, even her relics are still stored in this temple.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Isn't this monument very mysterious, it hasn't even been heard among people. How can the story be recorded?”
(Biksuni)
“This news spread rapidly due to the circulation of the book in the 90s. Many are looking for this place, because of the insistence of the government, the temple built this park to protect this historic monument. Many also want to abuse this monument as material for negative activities. We intend to hide the existence of this place until just in time for publication.”
(Yoo Ra)
"That is, this place will soon be introduced and displayed in public?"
(Biksuni)
"Yes, maybe in about 1 year."
(Yoo Ra)
“So, therefore this place becomes a fictional place. But this place is really real and exists in this world.”
(Biksuni)
“Agassi, I feel something in your body. And there's something special in you.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Really? What is it?”
(Biksuni)
“You are very similar to him.”
Again the nun said the same thing. Who looked like Yoo Ra, and this made Yoo Ra astonished and start to get curious.
The nun took Yoo Ra into a small room and opened some antique and old boxes and took out some items. The nun shows a jade of blue color and is very clean, as it is very well cared for. Yoo Ra was surprised because this jade was exactly the same as the jade he had and had become the key to Pureun Seong's gate.
(Biksuni)
“This is one of his jade, here is still well stored here.”
(Yoo Ra)
“I... wait, this relic belongs to him?”
(Biksuni)
“True... supposedly, this jade has a positive aura. This jade came from a god, and the woman kept it well until the end of her life.”
Yoo Ra started to get goosebumps, and it was hard to digest all of this. Looking at the jade alone Yoo Ra had started to get confused, because it was exactly the same as he had.
(Biksuni)
“There is a painting, if agassi sees it, surely also wonder.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Is the painting a painting of this jade-owner woman?”
(Biksuni)
“True, and a person's painting is the same as a face engraving on a marble monument. So this painting is more detailed, the painting was painted by the King who became her husband.”
(Yoo Ra)
“Can I see it?”
(Biksuni)
“By pleasure.”
The nun invites Yoo Ra to look at the painting. The canvas is large, and covered in red silk. The nun pulled the cloth, and it saw a painting of someone who was still well preserved, the painting was very clear.
(Yoo Ra)
“Dia..”
Yoo Ra fell silent, and was very surprised to see the painting of the woman who was held as the most glorious and glorious Queen among the noble generation.
(Biksuni)
“Isn't it very pretty? Doesn't agassi feel anything.”
Yoo Ra walked slowly over to the painting, and touched the face of a woman already painted inside the large canvas. His body suddenly stiffened, as if he could not believe the figure.
“She... she looks a lot like me? Its me? No. he's someone else. My mother's face is also similar to mine, but this.”.
