THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION
CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAFETY GUIDELINES
Don't…
Stay still, I say.
You could barely wipe it due to the pain.
Gosh.
Just stop it!
Do you know what the most infuriating thing is?
My grandma must be suffering right now within the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.
Her futile death still breaks my heart.
Yet…
deep in my heart…
I am relieved.
So relieved that you were not the one
who did that to my grandma.
That was the first thought I had.
I was relieved to find out
that I no longer have to feel guilty about being attracted to you.
That thought was all…
- You-- - How is this even possible?
How can someone be so wretched?
I think
your mother is awake.
Right.
You should check on her.
Call me if you need me.
Oh… Me?
I should go inside? Now?
Yes, you should. Go on.
Go inside…
I will go inside.
My child, are you all right?
I am fine.
Did you get hurt badly earlier? Let me see.
I told you I'm fine.
Thank goodness.
Do you know how shocked I was?
Why in the world did that lord do that to you?
What sort of bitterness toward you
drove him to even kidnap me and put you through all that danger?
He wasn't seriously hurt, right?
Even one slipup with such a nobleman
leaves people like us in ruins.
There is nothing to worry about.
He will never come after you again.
Gap.
Just forget civil service.
Can you not just come up with an excuse and quit?
I wish you would just quit,
so you, Yeo-ri, and I can just go back to Yongdam Village together.
How many times have you risked your life already?
Living is not that complicated.
The years pass by just like that.
So…
grab the hand of the one you hold in your heart
and embrace the affection you share.
That is the best way to live.
All right?
Did you say this talisman
was crafted by the noble elder of the blind association?
Yes, my lord.
They say everyone has been lining up for this talisman.
I cannot believe the esteemed Minister of War
has come all this way to our squalid corner of the world.
Unlike the others,
I am not here to make a request.
I--
Are you not here because of Examiner Yoon Gap?
You must be curious how the Haeilbu talisman managed to stop him
and his otherworldly powers.
How… How did you know?
He is
an Imugi.
What did you say?
What do you mean he is an Imugi?
Imugis possess luminous pearls inside their bodies.
Those pearls hold wondrous power.
Blasting someone off with the wind is a cinch for a holder of the pearl.
Was that how that scoundrel came back from the dead?
You must keep that talisman with you at all times.
Also…
if you ever have to face him,
use that against him.
What is up with you?
Why are you glowing like a newlywed?
What is it?
Yeo-ri…
said she likes me.
What?
Are you some sort of dummy? A half-wit?
Do you not know that mortals are easily dazzled by what they see?
Do you actually think she likes you?
She likes that body you are in.
That's why she is also confused.
What could you possibly expect from a mortal?
Did it ever occur to you that you would only end up hurt?
You may be right.
However,
she saw me for the first time.
That is what I will be focusing on for now.
Also, I have a dependable brother-in-arms like you by my side.
How could I get hurt?
Do not worry.
I shall catch you a rascal with a belly full of spite for you to devour.
Goodness me, you should take the day off today.
You went through hell yesterday.
You never know what might happen.
What if that man tries to harm Yeo-ri?
That's why you two always stick by each other's side, starting today.
Take good care of Yeo-ri.
- We should go. - All right.
Go on. Follow after her.
Always stick together!
What a cute couple.
Adorable.
Oh, right. Your mother…
She mentioned that you knew her captor well. Do you?
That woman must have imagined it amidst all the chaos.
I did not recognize him.
Then, why did a stranger go after you and your mother…
It means the Eight-foot-tall Ghost is no longer our only foe.
We have been found out by the King's political adversaries.
Do not worry.
As long as you are by my side,
no one will even lay a finger on you.
Hence, you must never leave my side.
Understand?
Oh! Wild chrysanthemums.
Wild chrysanthemums?
I guess they still need a few more days to bloom.
They have all bloomed already.
His Majesty commanded you wait for him here.
Yes, my lord.
What now? What is it?
This must be
Lord Yoon Gap's brush.
YOON GAP
That is right.
Examiner Yoon Gap used that very brush in this library.
Your Majesty,
have you been praying for Lord Yoon Gap's soul?
No one in the world knows of his death.
I thought I should at least offer my prayers for his soul.
I am sure Examiner Yoon Gap is also grateful for Your Majesty's prayers.
Could I take you returning here today
to mean you will continue helping me
with my undertaking?
The Eight-foot-tall Ghost is my grandmother's sworn enemy as well.
I am certain her soul remains captive under it.
To ensure my grandmother's soul rests in peace,
I will see to it that the Eight-foot-tall Ghost crosses over.
All right.
I was informed by the clerk officer
that you also faced hardships yesterday.
Yes… sir.
"Yes, sir"?
Did you just say, "Yes, sir"?
Yes, sir.
I am certain I did, sir.
I heard it as well. "Yes, sir."
You are a deity
and I am a mere king.
Yet, you show me such respect?
You may be a mere king,
but you commendably saved Yeo-ri's life.
A king who cherishes his people
deserves a certain level of respect.
Forget it, you rascal.
If that is your idea of respect, do not bother.
Well, that effort was wasted. Forget it then.
So, were you able to get a look
at your attackers?
I did, but I did not recognize any of them.
They kidnapped Yeo-ri
and Yoon Gap's mother simultaneously to leave me incapacitated.
They plotted to tear Yeo-ri and me apart.
So, they got together to conspire.
The man who took me away definitely claimed
Chief State Councillor Kim Bong-in had summoned me.
But His Lord has stated that he never sent anyone for you.
He just denies it and walks free?
Are you protecting your grandfather?
I also confirmed that His Lord was in the palace at that time.
As you allege,
His Lord indeed could have done such a thing,
but, conversely, someone could be framing him
because he is one of my supporters.
My lord.
He has arrived.
All right. Let him in.
I am Yi Hwa-seong from Onsu-gol, Chungju.
My lord, you are second only to the King.
May I ask why you summoned me here?
You may lift your head.
Was your great-great-grandfather not Prince Hopyeong,
King Yeonjong's younger brother?
Then, why do you present yourself in such a manner
when you are of royal descent?
Royal descent? I am unworthy of such a title.
I am not even of a collateral line.
I am well aware you rely on the needlework of your widowed mother to keep afloat
and for the past several years,
you failed to even pass the first round of the civil service examination.
How did you--
If you just do as I say,
you will be able to leave that outcast existence behind.
What do you say?
Will you do as I say?
You say there are no evil spirits in this nation?
Yes, Your Majesty.
My grandmother repeatedly said that to me in her lifetime.
What does that mean?
Is the Eight-foot-tall Ghost not an evil spirit?
That evil spirit is responsible for all the tragedies of the royal family.
How could there be no evil spirits?
It means no evil spirit commits evil deeds unprovoked and without reason.
That is to say,
there are only vengeful spirits with grudges
that commit evil deeds to resolve them.
Vengeful spirits?
Then, does that mean
if the grudge of the Eight-foot-tall Ghost is resolved,
it will be able to cross over?
That is correct.
So far, we have utilized various ad hoc measures to banish it,
but none of them offered a lasting solution.
It is because we were not applying the right method.
The right method?
There is only one proper method.
We must expose the true identity of the Eight-foot-tall Ghost
and resolve its grudge.
But,
how will you expose its true identity?
The only thing we know about it
is that it was burned to death to become an ember ghost.
Perhaps,
the Eight-foot-tall Ghost was a military officer in its lifetime?
A military officer?
Why do you think that?
The combat skills Your Majesty displayed while being possessed by it
were extraordinary.
A military officer…
Finding out its true identity
will be the first step in the correct method to banish it.
I will search for any small clue that may help reveal its true identity.
Proceed as such.
I shall do all I can to help.
That damn quack monk claimed the luminous pearl had to be drained
for the Eight-foot-tall Ghost to be banished.
Even if its true identity is exposed,
it will all be useless without the luminous pearl.
Then, we shall now take our leave.
Hello?
- Goodness. Why are you grabbing his hand? - Let us go.
All right.
What is with the hand-holding?
How grotesquely indecent!
Why that…
YOON GAP
My lord, are you all right?
Has he committed another impropriety toward you?
Yoon Gap, you scoundrel…
What are you scheming?
We ask the Ten Kings of the Underworld To aid the spirit
Of the late Grand Prince Yeongin Born in the Year of the Earth Pig
Please grant his soul
Passage to the Pure Land And rebirth in eternal peace
Homage to the First Great King Jingwang
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge
Homage to the Second Great King Chogang
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge
Homage to the Third Great King Songje
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge
Homage to the Fourth Great King Ogwan
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge
Homage to the Fifth Great King Yeomna
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge
Homage to the Sixth Great King Byeonseong
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge
Homage to the Seventh Great King Taesan
We humbly plead with you To relieve his grudge…
Your Grace.
Today concludes the Ceremony of Passage for the Deceased.
I am sure Prince Yeongin
has now peacefully crossed the River of the Afterlife.
Your efforts are appreciated.
However, who was that young man earlier?
He was earnestly praying for Prince Yeongin.
I did not recognize him at all.
He is Yi Hwa-seong, great-great-grandson of Prince Hopyeong.
He was so heartbroken to hear about Prince Yeongin's passing,
he personally made an ardent plea to be a part of the ceremony.
- Is that so? - Yes, Your Grace.
He has a pure mind and conducts himself with integrity.
He appears to be an excellent candidate to oversee
Prince Yeongin's memorial rites since there is no living heir.
Ask him to come by the palace to read me a book.
I must observe him more closely.
Yes, Your Grace.
I shall carry out your command.
Myeongdu, the mirror that reveals spirits.
I am certain Yeo-ri used this
to neutralize the talisman back then.
What are you doing here?
Nothing at all.
For some odd reason,
it seems Yoon Gap has kept silent about yesterday's incident.
He is unusually quiet.
It seems he kept it from the King as well.
If he had reported it,
the King would not be this quiet.
I reinforced security, just in case.
Well done.
Keep an eye on him.
If you notice anything strange,
report back to me immediately.
Yes, my lord.
Is anyone out there?
Who are you?
How dare you show up here?
You damn rat! Die!
You damn scoundrel…
Please spare me.
I will grant you whatever you wish.
Just please…
There is only one thing I desire from you.
What is it?
Your life.
What?
Oh, there is one more thing.
At the very least,
you should apologize to Yoon Gap who died by your hand.
I knew it.
You are not Yoon Gap.
So, you are…
What did you say?
The Minister of War suddenly passed last night?
Yes, Your Majesty.
That is not possible.
He was in robust health.
How could he end up like that, all of a sudden?
They say he passed in his sleep.
- My lord… - He had already stopped breathing
when the maidservant discovered him in the morning.
The Minister of War…
How could he die such a meaningless death?
This has been happening quite frequently as of late.
Old vassals have been meeting
cruel and unnatural ends in the dead of night.
Your Majesty, actually…
You may speak up.
I heard a rumor recently.
They say that an Imugi has been going around
and devouring elderly noblemen.
Could this mean
Gangcheori was responsible?
Yoon Gap…
Did he kill the Minister of War?
That is utterly preposterous.
Who would believe such a thing?
No, no. I certainly do not believe it to be true,
but I hear a lot of the noblemen in the capital are seeking out
the noble elder of the blind association
to avoid unforeseen calamity.
I hear they believe carrying around a talisman from him
is enough to keep them safe from such misfortune.
Here we are again with him.
The noble elder of the blind association…
I cannot help but feel discordant.
For the past 13 years, I mulled over the coup he instigated
and I have vowed to myself, time and again,
to see that he is properly punished.
However, he just met the most futile death.
Your Majesty.
Provide them with what they need for the funeral
and follow protocol to process it.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I shall carry out your command.
Who are you and why were you in the Queen Dowager's Palace?
Your Majesty.
I am the great-great-grandson of Prince Hopyeong.
Yi Hwa-seong is my name.
Prince Hopyeong?
As in King Yeonjong's brother?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I came to the palace because Her Grace summoned me.
I see.
You may leave now.
It appears the Queen Dowager has chosen that sad excuse of a man
to replace Prince Yeongin.
Your Majesty, what is the matter?
Did I leave it like this last time?
My goodness, where is my head?
We are completely out of rice. Sheesh.
I will go and pick up some barley.
No, that is all right, Yeo-ri.
You worked hard to make that money with your glasses. Save it.
And Gap is receiving his three-month salary today.
It may not be much, but it is enough to keep the three of us fed. Do not worry.
All right.
But why is that rascal not home yet?
I'm not sure.
He told me to go on ahead because he needed to stop by somewhere.
Did he?
Gosh. I should at least make some porridge.
Come on and take a look. I will be generous with the servings.
- Here. - Can you give me another?
Sure. Coming right up.
How much is one piece of pumpkin taffy?
Hello, sir. It is one pun per piece.
One… pun?
Yes, sir.
I thought this salary was meager at best,
but 15 nyang come out to 1,500 pun.
So, 1,500 pieces of pumpkin taffy!
Up until now, I had to suck up
an exorbitant amount just for a few pieces.
Now, I can lavishly eat ten pieces a day without worrying.
This must be why mortals go so crazy for money.
How many would you like?
I will be right back. Stay put.
- You must not sell out. - Yes, sir.
Welcome. Feel free to look around as much as you wish.
I will take that pair.
Are you referring to these?
No.
The ones embroidered with the longevity emblems.
These are quite pricey.
I just received my salary today.
How much could those possibly cost?
Yes, sir. I will wrap them up for you.
This is quite well-made.
I will take this, too.
Are you sure?
There you go again. I told you I just got paid today.
I can even buy 1,500 pieces of pumpkin taffy if I wish. That I can.
Yes, sir.
It feels like I have been swindled.
How could I
only be left with enough to buy five pieces of taffy?
Why are maidens' shoes and hairpins so expensive?
Master, I told you. We need to go that way.
- We were just there. - What is this now?
Is that Gaseop?
What is that rascal doing here?
No, we need to…
- Master, wait! - Damn it.
Wait, stop!
No. Stop. Goodness me!
What is going on? Why is that wretched monk in the capital?
Sheesh! You scared me.
Why are you alone?
Where is the giant?
Give me some, too.
Give you what?
How did you even know?
Got… you!
What the… Where did you pop up from?
Let go of me.
Damn quack monk.
Gosh, am I happy to see you!
Do you know how many times I circled the capital looking for your house?
Master.
We will not be sleeping on the streets tonight!
It is so nice to see you. Just delightful.
Stop smiling! Stop laughing! Damn it.
We have finally arrived.
Venerable!
What brings you here? When did you arrive in the capital?
I came because I had something to give you.
You do not know how many hardships
we have been through in the last few days looking for this house.
I see. Come inside.
My goodness! Look who it is! Hello, Venerable!
Hello, Venerable! Have you been well?
My goodness. I am so happy to see you two. It feels like a holiday.
I apologize for imposing.
Do not be silly.
Gap actually got paid today.
We'll be able to show you some proper hospitality.
Excellent. Let us go inside, Master.
- This way. - All right.
So…
you just spent every last bit
of your three-month salary to buy this?
Well…
I was sick and tired of looking at that.
Sick and tired?
Why, you scoundrel!
Look at you spewing nonsense like a damn fool.
Just look at you go!
I cannot believe you!
Ma'am, please try to calm down.
Master, it seems we chose the wrong day to come.
Yes. Calm down.
- How dare you touch me? - "Calm down"?
And what happens if I do not? What are you going to do about it?
Ah! Hot!
My goodness.
Oh, no. What is wrong?
That's right!
I forgot I came all this way to deliver this.
I can be so scatterbrained.
Here we go.
That is--
The Ghostbane Stone.
That is my Ghostbane Stone.
No!
I thought I lost it for good.
How did you find it?
Well, you see…
All right.
Stop!
Yes, Master.
Master?
What sort of monk looks at fish like that?
Master, let us go now.
- You can just take it. - Pardon?
I cannot sell it with that busted belly anyway.
No, that will not be necessary.
What would we do with fish?
Master, let us…
Great Shaman Neop-deok claimed that she first discovered
the set of male and female Ghostbane Stones
under a boulder by the sea, a long time ago.
With that story, she also told me
that the Ghostbane Stones have mystical powers
and that they always find their way back to their owners.
This all happened because that laudable object
was intent on finding its way back to you.
My goodness. Is that stone that precious?
What exactly is it?
This is called a Ghostbane Stone.
It wards off ghosts.
Gosh, it even wards off ghosts?
My goodness, what a marvelous object.
Look at this. This apparently wards off ghosts.
Get that away from me.
Please be careful.
Careful… My goodness.
- Is it not amazing? - Get it away from me!
You knew about this…
from the start, did you not?
That the Eight-foot-tall Ghost killed my grandma.
You see, Yeo-ri…
When I think back on it now, there were so many clues.
I went to see you to get rid of Gangcheori,
but you taught me a recitation ceremony for evil spirits
and had me repeatedly review all the ways
my grandma used to ward off ghosts throughout her life.
All the pieces were there.
What a fool I was.
Thirteen years ago,
the reigning Queen Dowager
summoned me to banish the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.
However,
I was no match for it.
So,
I asked Great Shaman Neop-deok
to come with me to the capital.
I am largely to blame for what happened
to Great Shaman Neop-deok.
I kept this from you because--
You must have been afraid that I would rashly confront
the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.
- Yeo-ri-- - Venerable.
I am not that little girl anymore.
My grandmother is being held captive by that ghost.
I will catch the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.
The blind association?
That Haeilbu talisman
was crafted for the noblemen by Pung-san, the association's noble elder.
A mere blind fortune teller
managed to craft a talisman with that much mystic force?
So? Have you met him yet?
I tried to get close to that Pung-san scoundrel,
but I did not get very far because of the strong fire energy.
Fire energy…
You know, that myeongdu…
came in quite handy.
I will have no issue setting my feast table if I have that.
I will be very happy for you on your ascension day.
Your ascension will give me hope.
I will continue to actively support you.
Gangcheori…
However,
do not tell Yeo-ri.
Why?
She will not understand.
She is a mortal.
Damn it.
Why are you not sleeping?
I could not, even if I wanted to.
The thunderous roars are deafening.
They must be tired.
It sounded like they had quite a journey.
And what about you?
Why are you up?
I just… am.
Yoon Gap's mother grinds her teeth, does she not?
She rolls over once every hour, then flings a leg on you.
Stop it. She will hear you.
I gave them to you to wear, not cuddle.
I was just briefly admiring them for their beauty.
How could someone like me ever put such expensive shoes on my feet?
They will need to be returned for a refund.
You are going to get a refund for the gift I gave you?
What choice do I have? Think of all the mouths we have to feed.
I went out of my way to get them because I saw you gawk at that embroidery.
What are you talking about? When did I ever do that?
Last summer,
when you went to go sell glasses to Scholar Park, one village over.
Did you think I did not notice you gawking at the embroidery
on his daughter's shoes?
I was just admiring how the sun, moon, mountains, and trees
all managed to fit so harmoniously on those small shoes.
You were truly…
always by my side.
I thought I was completely alone for all those years.
I was quite a fool.
Yes. A big fool.
I will…
expose that ghost's identity and have it cross over as soon as I can.
So I can save
my grandma's soul
and Lord Yoon Gap's as well.
And after you save Yoon Gap?
You might…
have to leave that body.
But,
even without a physical body,
you will still be Gangcheori
and I will wholeheartedly serve you as my patron deity.
That will be my way
of thanking you for protecting me all those years…
and honoring my heart
that yearned for you.
So hot!
What's wrong?
Do you… have the Ghostbane Stone?
Oh, right. This is like poison to you.
Should I set it aside for now?
Set it aside… to do what?
I mean, I was not trying to,
but you were…
Ghostbane Stone!
That is the blind fortune teller I met last time.
This path leads to the Queen Dowager's Palace.
That means…
He is the noble elder of the blind association?
Hello again.
Huh? Who is it?
I am the Royal Couturier's eyeglass artisan you met last time.
You are that young maiden
with the extraordinary aura.
He just looks like a normal blind fortune teller.
Take care. Please excuse me.
You can craft implements that clear up one's sight,
but can you not make anything for a blind man like me to make my eyes open wide?
Forgive me, my talents remain lacking.
I do not know his name.
It was a eunuch with scary eyes.
His fingertips were black.
It is him.
He is the Yapper.
I must let His Majesty know immediately.
Pardon me, I must go now.
Se-won.
Is there anyone watching us?
There is not even an ant in sight.
How fortunate.
Your Majesty!
You were correct!
Your Majesty was correct indeed!
As you commanded, I reviewed the exhaustive roster of royal relatives,
covering both direct and collateral descendants,
who have passed away in the last 13 years.
Please take a look at this.
Did you have me come here this early to look at a measly piece of paper?
Why you…
It is not some measly piece of paper.
It is the royal family tree.
Royal family tree?
For over ten years, many royal relatives met their sudden deaths.
Only after I started to believe in the Eight-foot-tall Ghost by you and Yeo-ri,
was I able to confirm
the Eight-foot-tall Ghost was behind their deaths.
So?
Yesterday, I met a man by the name of Yi Hwa-seong
who claimed to be a distant, collateral royal relative.
Which means the Eight-foot-tall Ghost
did not target its victims just because they had royal blood.
- Yes. - Then…
looking at the victims of the Eight- foot-tall Ghost for the past 13 years,
we will discover who was responsible for its grudge.
Your Majesty, it is Sang-deuk.
Yes. Enter.
Why do you come alone?
I told you to fetch Yeo-ri.
Well…
Eyeglass Artisan Yeo-ri was not at the Royal Couturier.
They said she just left.
However, I did not find her after searching the vicinity.
- What? - Did you see anyone suspicious?
No, Your Majesty.
And the Queen Dowager has been quiet?
The Queen Dowager has summoned
a blind fortune teller for a recitation ceremony of sutras.
What are you doing?
I tried to get close to that Pung-san scoundrel,
but I did not get very far because of the strong fire energy.
Yeo-ri!
Celestial Venerable speaks Of the nine spirits in the body
Shall we summon them? On the first day, Heaven-born
On the second day, Lightless On the third day, Dark Pearl
On the fourth day, True Center On the fifth day, Crimson Child
On the sixth day, Returning Cycles On the seventh day, Crimson Origin
- On the eighth day… - Your Grace.
His Majesty is here for you.
What?
Your Majesty, welcome.
You may leave us, Noble Elder.
Yes, Your Grace.
No.
Take a seat.
Pardon?
I hear you led Prince Yeongin's Ceremony of Passage for the Deceased.
I am grateful.
Thanks to you, Yeongin's bitter sorrow was relieved
and I am now able to wipe away Her Grace's tears.
Your Majesty.
I am truly honored.
Your Grace.
I wish to reward him handsomely.
What do you say?
He is a lowly creature.
His talents can be useful at times,
but he does not deserve your attention.
Not at all.
I feel sorry for misunderstanding him in the past
and I should be thankful for all the effort he has shown
in always providing Her Grace with solace.
Your Majesty.
For what reason do you--
Yes, that will be best.
I shall personally make my way to the Association of the Blind
and publicly commend you for your contribution
for all to see.
Your Majesty, our quarters are much too squalid
to welcome the exalted sovereign of this nation.
Not at all.
The Association of the Blind
is a meaningful institution that has long been a safe haven for the forlorn blind.
But I am curious
as to how you made your way here alone
when you are not able to see what is in front of you.
Where is your servant?
Could he have figured out what we did with that brat?
Pung-san is extraordinary.
Making his way to the palace alone is no trouble for him at all.
Hence,
that is why I so greatly value his talents.
I see.
What is that?
It is fine abrasive sand.
Sand used to polish corrective lenses.
It belongs to Yeo-ri.
This leads to the drainage gate.
Once you pass the drainage gate, the Association of the Blind is nearby.
Someone…
dragged Yeo-ri out of the palace.
Yeo-ri!
Yeo-ri!
You cannot just enter like that.
The noble elder is not here right now--
Where is she?
What did you do with her?
Why are you doing this to me?
My goodness…
I don't know what you are talking about.
What do you think you are doing?
My goodness.
What is the meaning of this?
I may just be a lowly blind man, but this is unacceptable.
Where is Yeo-ri?
Who is Yeo-ri? Why are you doing this?
I am the only lowly creature who resides in this chamber.
That is enough.
He is protected by the Queen Dowager.
I have already searched every corner of this place.
There was nowhere to hide someone. So, please…
Yeo-ri!
Yeo-ri! Where are you?
My goodness.
What did you do with her?
Where is she?
Please spare me.
I am just a lowly blind man who knows nothing.
Please spare me.
A lowly blind man who knows nothing?
Then, explain why this shrine is overflowing with potent fire energy.
You are the Yapper.
The Eight-foot-tall Ghost is behind you!
You…
Go and tell the King.
Go on!
Why…
do you attack me?
I saw it.
On the day I was born 100 years ago,
I saw you fall to the ground.
Then, why?
Why do you attack me and not them?
What sort of nonsense are you spewing?
I am not your foe.
The King's royal bloodline is.
Then, why?
Why do you attack me?
It is odd that the Eight-foot-tall Ghost just disappeared like that.
Where is Pung-san's shrine?
Reveal yourself this instant!
He was really born the day you fell to the ground?
The Eight-foot-tall Ghost's grudge must be against him.
I shall go to Yongdam Village in ten days.
I will expose the true identity of the Eight-foot-tall Ghost.
I no longer need the Ghostbane Stone.
You are my protector now.
You have strayed too far from Gangcheori the Imugi.
All because of that brat, Yeo-ri.
Just hand over that brat named Yeo-ri.
I am sorry, but please die here and now.
