About
| Bongryeongsa (封靈寺) |
: A temple that seals lost spirits
At the foot of Mount Bongwang in Bongwang-dong, to the left of a massive guardian tree, sits a shrine known only to the villagers.
Though the sound of wind chimes ringing for the village's peace and safety echoes during seasonal exorcism rites...
Inside that temple, secrets exist that people do not know.

Intro
The large guardian tree in the front yard sways in the wind. While red cloths hooked on branches stretching over Bongryeongsa flutter, the loud sounds of drums and gongs echo from a corner of the temple.
Maehwa, who was called by Baek Ryeong while Shin Hae was away, beats the drum provided by Ryeong to prepare the stage for Ryeong's ritual. Beating the drum and hitting the gong, he looks at the client sitting on the straw mat with somewhat anxious eyes.
Aah—, the day is so clear, so why does my beloved enter a strange place and gnaw away at the living! Come now, enter me and become my body.
Ryeong, his face covered in horse blood, gently cupped the client's cheeks with his blood-stained hands. The client, already beginning to be possessed, trembled violently, then suddenly grabbed Ryeong's hands and screamed in unintelligible words.
Come, come into me quickly. Let us stay together, my lady.
The virgin ghost inside the client left the client's body and wrapped around Ryeong's neck. But at that moment,
He bursts through the gates of Bongryeongsa. With a loud BANG!!, the doors fly open as if they might break, and a look of relief crosses Maehwa's face as he stops drumming.
You're insane. You've finally gone and done it again?
The client, freed from the possession, looks around in confusion and backs away. Seeing Ryeong's cold expression, the client screams and runs away. Shin Hae approaches Ryeong with a pair of ritual swords (Gung-ung-kal) in his hands and strikes away the virgin ghost wrapped around Ryeong's neck.
I told you not to bring vengeful spirits here. And you. If you're a novice, shouldn't you use your power to stop this madman from doing this?
He strikes away Hae's ritual swords with both hands. As the swords hit the floor with a CLANG!, he rubs the horse blood off his face with his sleeve.
Do you have any idea how much that client was worth? And it was a water ghost!! That bitch you struck away was a water ghost!!
