Chapter 1074: Night Outpost (17)
"Ho-shin-chong was created when the heavens opened and the Heavenly God descended, and it was destroyed by the hand of Jeokho, leaving only one behind."
Upon seeing the picture of the broken ho-shin-chong, Jeokho let out a deep breath, and Kim Shin-rok froze as though his breath had stopped.
Eun Ho quietly observed as Jeokho, who had made the loud sound just moments ago, lost his words.
The image Eun Ho had just shown in the hologram depicted the broken ho-shin-chong, though it wasn’t a photo taken in the modern era.
Gong Cheong-hwon, gazing at the hologram of the tigers and the image, spoke up.
"Aside from the ho-shin-chong remaining on Baegunbong, Cheoniksan, there’s no trace left. The ho-shin-chong, having lost its connection to spiritual power, was quickly worn away and disappeared, and I heard that even photographic records have vanished. Is this 'yeomsa'?"
"Yes, part of my memory was recreated through the ability of the unknown faction. This is the ho-shin-chong I saw."
The ho-shin-chongs that Jeokho destroyed were erased without leaving even a fragment due to their severed connection with the spiritual power.
In other words, the broken ho-shin-chong shown now was the one in Eun Ho’s memory.
"The ho-shin-chong contained records of the achievements made by the Heavenly God, the blessings bestowed upon this land and the Ho-jok, and even the wishes granted by the Heavenly God. That’s why every time a ho-shin-chong was destroyed, we lost power."
Since some in the room were not from the era of the Ho-jok, Eun Ho began explaining.
It seemed like an explanation directed at Gong Cheong-hwon, who knew little beyond the knowledge passed down in textbooks, and Yong Je-gun, who had little understanding of the matter, and myself, who had received no significant information despite the blessing of the white tiger.
