Find her!
Episode 16
Find her!
It ends here.
So now, let's go to Gyerim.
Are you alright?
It's here.. She's here!
My apologies.
His eyes... He can't see?
You shouldn't be out like this.
Hurry and escort her back.
Yes, Ma'am.
Why did you come out?
Did you find her? You found her?
Yes, she was near front just wandering around.
We escorted her back to the shrine, so please go inside.
Who are you?
Ughh.. That is.. I'm a trainee...
I was passing through, my head was spinning from so many torches going by,
so I just wanted to see what was going on.
It's really nothing...
Even if something did happen here,
did you not know that a trainee isn't supposed to come near the shrine at all?!
Please leave.
Yes.
Chilsuk was alive...
Chilsuk came back, and he was the one who presented my book to Mishil...
As I suspected, Chilsuk was indeed sent by Mishil.
Why?
For what reason?
Mom...
Who... am I?
Just... who am I?
You said you have something to tell me, so what is it?
Princess? Forgive me for saying this,
but, for a moment, I would like for us to turn back into old friends as before.
Is it not plausible?
Alright then, so just tell, Deokman.
Chilsuk... has returned.
What?!
I met him last night.
...How?
Chilsuk disappeared while fulfilling his task given to him by Mishil...
And also, his memorial tablet was enshrined at Hwasadang*.
*Hwarang's memorial shrine
He's been alive...
The order Chilsuk received from Mishil was... to capture and bring me back.
Why?
That is what I need to find out...
With that answer, it might explain who I am.
But... Didn't you meet Chilsuk?
Chilsuk wasn't able to see me.
Only I was able to see him.
For certain, Chilsuk mentioned that he was looking for a runaway baby and a palace maid.
Palace maid?
That is my mom.
My mom.
My mom.. in trying to save me from the clutches of Chilsuk.. died.
Because of me...
I'm going to find out.
The reason why Mishil sent Chilsuk to kill me, and, why my mom had to die.
I have to hear it straight from Mishil's mouth.
That's why, I have a favor to ask of you.
The only people that are allowed into the shrine
are women of royalty and shrine maidens.
But... it appears that Chilsuk is residing there.
How can a man reside at the shrine?
My thoughts exactly, so what else could it be?
It only points out the fact
that there is a secret place inside the shrine that no one knows of, right?
A secret place?
Since you are able go inside the shrine, that is what I need you to find out.
Alright, I got it.
Is this yours?
It's pretty.
What?
Yea...
Wiecheon Je?
Yes, Your Majesty..
Wiecheon Je~A ritual ceremony performed to console the Heavens
The constant flow of the 5 main principle elements appear to be out of sync.
The other night,
Mercury has left its normal position and now, has placed itself in Myosu's position.
Jinsong=Mercury
Myosu~In Asian astrology, it's one out of 28 stars that make up a formation.
Therefore,
it is foretelling that an epic disease
will fall upon our Heavenly Kingdom.
So, we must hold a Wiecheon Je in order to appease the Heavens.
Cheonshin Hwangnyo Seju Mishil.
Cheonshin Hwangnyo~A women in charge of the Heavenly ritual
Must preside over the Wiecheon Je.
Yes, I shall do as you say.
Then, when are we planning on doing this?
I shall receive and present to you the most fortuitous day.
That's right! They are going to perform the Wiecheon Je, the Wiecheon Je.
Wiecheon Je?
I thought all the peacefulness was too good to be true.
What problem are they claiming now?
As you know, whenever they perform the ritual, something weird always happens.
Yes... So, just wondering what will happenthis time.
What do you mean by Wiecheon Je?
We haven't performed the Wiecheon Je in many years.
So, why all of a sudden?
What is the reason behind it this time?
During King Jinheung's era,
Wiecheon Je was held on a yearly basis.
But, since Mishil was put in charge of all ritual ceremonies,
it tends to occur on her whim.
Also, she has something up her sleeves.
You're right.
While presiding over the Wiecheon Je,
she is going to claim she received some revelations,
and then, she is going to demand some type of retribution.
When Wiecheon Je is uttered,
it will only conjure up horrid memories.
I wonder what will happen this time around...
What is it this time?
I heard that Wiecheon Je will be performed...
Because of the Wiecheon Je, doesn't Mother receive everything that she seeks?
What is she seeking this time?
How would I know?
It's merely just Seju's wishes.
C'mon... It doesn't make any sense if you don't know about this.
What is it?
Let me be the only one to know about this.
This time... What revelation is she planning on receiving?
Stop speaking in vain!
Are you insinuating that the revelations are a hoax?
What?
No... Of course, that would never happen!
She is going use the Wiecheon Je as an excuse to request something unreasonable.
Unreasonable request?
By confiscating General Kim's Ahmyangju land
and claiming that land as a part of royal family's properties...
Also, for Sejong being promoted to his current high position...
All of it was made possible right after Mishil received her secret revelations.
So, all of it was done through Wiecheon Je's revelations?!
She claimed if we didn't honor the demands of the revelations,
then a great disaster would befall upon us.
However, the predictions coming from the revelation has never been wrong.
Drought, flood, and fire...
It all occurred just as Mishil predicted.
Then, are you saying that Mishil does indeed receive Heaven's revelation?
That is something we do not know for sure.
What we are certain of... is that...
The people believe that Mishil is working together with the Heavens to act as one.
During this time, you have been through a lot.
So, from what you've organized, how does it look, Great Master?
This was achieved by using the new calculation formula from the great book.
Then... This is definitely accurate?!
According to the great book's 144 theory of rotations.
I came to a conclusion through my calculations that,
there will be an intersecting of points on the (27 X 21,223/100,000) day.
Although, there might be a difference of 28 hours...
But, it shouldn't be greater than that.
Yes... It turned out great.
And in the future, please put forth the same effort, Great Master.
Yes... Now then, I shall take my leave.
Yes.
For this coming Wiecheon Je,
I thought about doing something like this, so I made a drawing of it.
You've prepared this yourself, Lord Misaeng?
Yes, I gave it a try.
Well, it wasn't that difficult.
We would fill this area with beans, then, we would pour water through this end.
However, is this even plausible?
Knowing that you might be skeptical, I made this preparation ahead of time.
As the bean absorbs the water, it will then expand causing this statue to push upwards.
Just as expected, you do not disappoint, Lord Misaeng.
Music, art, calligraphy, dance, and painting.
There is nothing indeed that you don't excel at, other than martial arts.
What?
Were you offended by my words?
Although, you may be deficient in martial arts,
but you were able to overcome this fact because you possess many other talents.
According to Master Wolcheon's calculations,
Wiecheon Je must be held after 4 days.
So, please get all the preparations ready.
Yes, Nunim.
My Lady, the trainee named Deokman that you asked for has arrived.
Take him to the separate chamber. I will be there soon.
Yes, Ma'am.
Come with me.
Wait here.
Yes.
Read this to me.
Yes, Ma'am.
One day, the king ventured outside,
and an elder women told him with sincerity of an injustice that was done to her.
But the king rejected her with coldness citing he has no time for such a thing.
A king who has no time to listen to his people
will eventually turn into a tyrant,
and he will not be able to find the time to keep his throne either.
A tyrant...
A tyrant, he was...
What do people think about me?
As I know it, most of them are afraid of you.
Are they that afraid of me?
Yes.. You are known as a scary person...
But, to me...
From the story about Lord Sadaham who is enshrined at Hwasadang...
And also the story about Chilsuk Rang...
Leads me to believe
that you must possess a special trait that would make a person
relinquish everything for your sake.
Is that not true?
I heard that Chilsuk Rang fulfilled his given task with his life.
It's easier said then done.
What order did you give
to him that he would put up his own life in order to fulfill his given task?
Was it an important order?
Let me see...
I gave that order, for I feared the Heavens.
Heaven?
In my lifetime, just this once...
That's when... the seven stars of the Big Dipper became eight.
How in this world?! To think that you have something to fear...
I am now curious to know what that may be...
Do you... think of me as an evil person?
What?
At the moment, are the people in total dire straits?
Or, is our Heavenly Kingdom in crisis?
But... The people live each and everyday with difficulties.
Of course. The people live each and everyday exhausted and with difficulties.
But... the people were like that 1000 years ago,
they're like that now, and they will be the same 1000 years from now.
The meaning of "The People" will always remain the same.
But, if a king would listen to his people, and rule with benevolence...
Wouldn't that give the people a better quality of life?
Once he starts to listen, then he will get an earful of requests.
Do this, do that...
And if all the requests are met, then, do you think it will ever end?
Nope, he will never see the end of it.
However he may rule, he'll never be able to
completely satisfy or fulfill a human being's tendency for greed.
And yet... Those who are clueless can easily utter words about Mishil being evil.
Then... Do you hate and resent the fact that people fear you?
Did you say "I'd resent"?
If you go into the marketplace, there is a rumor about me eating small children.
Have you heard about that?
That is...
It seems as though you have heard this before.
But... Those rumors...
I am responsible for spreading all of them.
What?
If there was a choice for either people fearing me or not.
Which one do you think will benefit me the most?
In 4 days, we will hold the Wiecheon Je for a week.
Everyone shall upkeep their personal hygiene,
and, until the end of the ritual, everyone must refrain from alcohol and women.
We will be holding the ritual ceremony from sunrise to sunset.
During this time, we must all fast.
Do you understand?
Yes, Sir!
I... would like to participate in this Wiecheon Je.
You, Princess?
Yes.
Up to now, weren't you the only person who presided over the ritual ceremony?
Shouldn't I be of help to you, and learn about the proceedings?
Let's do that.
Also, since I am now participating in this ritual ceremony,
How about me designating my own Hwarangs to assist with the proceedings?
Yes... I would like to designate Bojong and Yushin
as assistants for this ritual ceremony.
By chance, did you have another Hwarang in mind?
Congrats.
It hasn't been that long since you were acknowledged as part of Seorabeol's Hwarang.
But already, you've attained the position of an assistant for the ritual ceremony.
Weren't you just acknowledged by the Princess and Seju?
Very impressive.
Do well.
Ahh.. It's hot, just hot.
Don't mind them...
They're only acting like that because all Seorabeol Hwarangs crave that position.
Not at all...
I'm fine.
However, you must not take that too lightly.
It's more difficult than you think.
Really?
Think about it.
You won't be able to eat or move around for half of the day.
Plus, it wouldn't be as bad if you were able to stand...
But, since you're seated, it's hard to fight of temptation to fall asleep.
As you struggle to stay awake, and if you do not answer Sangcheongam's question.
Then, you'll be recorded in Hwarang's history as a laughingstock.
So, be careful.
Yushin Rang.
Milady is asking for you.
Have a seat.
Why have you called me?
This is your first time partaking in the ritual ceremony, right?
Yes, Ma'am.
During the ritual ceremony, there has always been a revelation handed down,
and the one who always receives those revelation is no other than, me.. Mishil.
I've heard, so I am aware.
What revelation do you think will befall upon us, this time?
How would I know that?
The people of Gaya has always been persecuted...
It's naturally expected...
Because Gaya's prominent men have always been a threat to Seorabeol's noblemen.
Yushin Rang, you should make preparations for your future.
I'm not smart enough to understand what you're saying.
Yushin Rang.
This Mishil is giving you, Yushin Rang, an advice...
And that advice is not to make an enemy of this Mishil.
I'm saying, will you like to become one of Mishil's people?
Seju, for a person like me who is lacking and foolish,
and to hear your words, it's truly an honor.
But, I know of only one way in which you can have my services.
What is that?
Just kill me, and then you can have my dead body.
The only thing that you can have of mine... is my dead body.
I will not go to you while I'm alive.
You've also made an effort to convince my father.
And, I've heard that you threatened the princess since her youth.
You are being discourteous.
What do you mean by "threatened"?!!!
Forgive me.
But this Yushin is too lacking and too foolish.
Thus, I'm not capable of knowing other words besides "threatened".
Aren't you aware of what path you should be taking?
Once again, I am lacking, foolish, and also stubborn.
The path that I choose will be one of righteousness.
If you're done talking, then I will take my leave.
Please, do not threaten my father and the princess ever again.
I, too, am giving Seju an advice.
And that advice is not to make an enemy of this Yushin.
Yushin Rang.
Although, a man's strength may appear great.
But a man cannot survive on his own strength alone.
One needs a little bit of... Heaven's will.
How can he be so discourteous?
I will not let him be.
No...
He is astonishing.
What? How can a guy like that be...
He wasn't scared of me one bit.
That's the first time I witness that.
Yushin, Deokman,... and Cheonmyeong... They do have Heaven's blessing.
In Rhee~Heaven's blessing
Hey, hey, hey... Gather around...
Gather around...
Gather around, gather around...
So, that time has come, when we can finally avoid training.
Avoid training?
Yushin Rang is headed inside the shrine to partake in the ritual ceremony.
Shrine?
Once inside, he can't even move a muscle until the sun sets!
That means... That means... For us...
We won't have any training until the ritual ceremony ends!!!
What is it? Huh? What?!
What is it?!
I'll be going inside the shrine
since I've been assigned as an assistant during this ritual ceremony.
Is that true?!
You are really going inside the shrine personally?!
Yes.
The princess made a decision
that has created an opportunity that wouldn't be made available otherwise.
Therefore, I will find out with certainty.
Yes, I'm certain that inside the shrine, there is a place known only by Mishil.
You must carefully examine everything.
Alright, you must also not let this opportunity to find out
about the Sadaham's Maehwa pass you by.
Yes, Sir.
But... Why did you only tell the princess and not to me?
Ahh... That is...
Well, anyway... You know everything now, right?
The shrine's secret... You must definitely find out.
Ne... Ju... Ji... Yeh... (Reciting a chant)
What's your reason for burning incense?
Those who are participating in the ritual must keep their mind and body pure.
For that reason, I'm burning the incense.
I see.
Take it off.
Pardon?!
I must be old and nothing left of me now.
Once, the men of Seorabeol would be willing to
give up their youth and their lives just to have me.
Is it hard to fathom?
No... Not at all.
Nothing can be done if you don't believe.
What are you doing? Why aren't you reading?
Yes, Ma'am.
They all knelt in front of the king.
Did you notice anything strange?
Sorry to say, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
I've been going to the shrine since I was little, and still, I don't even know.
So how can you be expected to know when this was your first time inside the shrine.
Until this ritual ceremony concludes, I will examine everything very carefully.
I will examine every corner of the shrine, and I will watch every move that Mishil,
Sangcheongam, and Seori make.
As you know, whenever Mishil presides over this particular ritual ceremony,
calamities always followed suit...
This time, we must find that secret.
Yes, Ma'am.
Princess.
What's wrong?
It seems the conversation is going at length,
so, should I reheat this tea and bring it back up?
It's fine. You may leave now.
Yes, I'll be in the front, so if you need anything, then just call for me.
What's wrong?
It's nothing. Once I get more details, then I will tell you.
Although, a general may have raised an army by receiving Heaven's will, but,
there is no Heaven's will to those without righteousness.
That's a lie.
What?!
Heaven's will?
That has nothing to do with being righteous or not.
Nothing at all.
Then, what is Heaven's will?
I've heard, when you preside over a rain ceremony, then it always rains.
And if you make a prophecy, then it comes to fruition.
Is Heaven's will on your side?
I'm going to tell you about something that is very secretive.
Will you be able to keep this secret?
Yes, Ma'am.
If you reveal this secret...
I will keep this secret.
Then, I will tell you...
Come closer.
Truthfully...
There is no such thing as a "Heaven's Will".
Pardon?
You look disappointed.
It's really insignificant.
It's not that...
I have told you such a big secret...
Heaven has no will.
Even if it exists, it has nothing to do with human beings.
Of course, there is no way of foretelling the future. But...
If something does happen tomorrow...
Then, that would be Mishil's will...
And not Heaven's will.
This is Heaven's will!
Heaven's will resides at Nahjong in Dongshi, so...
Dongshi~Eastern marketplace in Seorabeol
That is where you will receive these revelations.
Nahjong...
Is it at Nahjong?
Heaven's will... is in front of Nahjong where the sun sets.
What are they saying is going to happen here?
It is said that Heaven's will is at Nahjong.
What? So, it's in that well?
Yea.
Move aside.
My lady? Is it here?
In front of Nahjong... There will be a Heaven's will.
What is that?! I don't know?! What is that?! What is that?!
*Inryeokgu must be driven out.
*Inryeokgu~no specific meaning. If anything, it will be explained later on as "Gaya"
Must drive out Inryeokgu?
Although, a man's strength may appear great...
But, a man cannot survive on his own strength alone.
One needs a little bit of... Heaven's will.
Inryeokgu?
What is Inryeokgu and why must we drive them out?
I've only received the revelation...
Although, I cannot fully comprehend its meaning, but this is what I think...
Bring me paper, brush, and ink.
Yes, Ma'am.
Inryeokgu means us.
What do you mean by "us"?
Gaya... It's referring to Gaya's power.
We will now lose the basis of Gaya's power.
Why does Inryeokgu... mean Gaya?!
It's a simple combination put together.
If those 3 letters are combined...
It will form the word "GA", which means GAYA.
Then, we must drive out Gaya?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Isn't there a village south of Seorabeol,
where Gaya people have gathered and reside at?
You must drive them out 100ri(40km) outside of Seorabeol.
If we don't comply, then what will happen?
I am simply just revealing the revelation that I have received.
But, if an edict is not handed down
giving the order to exile all Gaya people 100ri(40km) outside of Seorabeol, then...
Within 3 days, the moon will lose its light.
Within 23 days, not only Seorabeol, but within the boundaries of that 100ri(40km),
a great calamity will rise to the forefront, which in turn,
causing sufferings of mass proportions to all the people.
I've presided over the ritual ceremony, and I am just revealing the revelations.
What is this? At the rate, isn't something terrible going to happen to us?
A great calamity? Does that mean we are all going to starve to death?
Shouldn't we drive out all Gayans first.
It sounds a little preposterous, don't you think? How can such a thing happen?!
Hey, look at this person! By chance, are you a Gayan?!
What?! Watch what you're saying?!!
We'll just wait and see..
Within 3 days, the moon is supposed to lose its light,
which means that there will be a lunar eclipse.
Do you really think that there will be a lunar eclipse?
I've only revealed the revelations,
so I have no way of knowing if there will be a lunar eclipse or not.
Since it is your word, and if it does not occur the way you have predicted,
then, a chaos might ensue.
Bojong, if that occurs,
then you must make sure that there are no turmoils within the Hwarang's circle.
Yes, Father.
Well, since you received the revelations, then it should occur, right?
That's right! If mother said it would occur, then there will be a lunar eclipse!
Don't you trust my mother?!
Everyone at Seorabeol's market is talking about the lunar eclipse and nothing else.
When two people meet, they are making bets about the lunar eclipse.
By chance, if there is no lunar eclipse...
I'm concerned that you will end up losing face.
If that happens, then my devotion must have been lacking
when I was presiding over the ritual ceremony.
Hey, give me a harder massage.
Harder?
I told you to put some muscle into it!!
Like this?
Yeah.. good, good.
What a bunch of pathetic fools! Move aside, you wretches.
You have no clue on the happenings of this world.
That's why you guys are always being called the Yonghwa Hyangdo nincompoops.
What the... Why you, nincompoops... How dare you come here without fear...
Hey! Did you, wretches, come here thinking
that we have some leftover scraps that you can eat or what?
Go! Go!
Hey, you, wretch?! Did we come at the wrong time?
Last time, it was you, wretches who came barging into our crib!
Wre... Wretches?
We have nothing to eat, so please leave.
Why you little bastard... Do you take me for a rat?
You both have similarities.
Godo hyung will be sad if you do that.
You bastards!
Hey, what did you say earlier... something about how the world turns?
Hey, right now, it's a total chaos outside. Did you know?!
They say it's a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipse!
Really?! There is a lunar eclipse?!
Ahhh... This is so frustrating! Not that it occurred yet,
but people are all gathered outside just to see if it happens.
You, bastards are making a big deal out of nothing because you have nothing else to do.
We don't really care, so go... just go.
...And I thought it really occurred.
What?! Look here. You don't think it will occur?
I'm telling you that it will occur!
You guys must be clueless,
but a lunar eclipse only occurs at certain times.
You can guess right if the calculations are done properly.
And not to mention, it doesn't just happen because someone wants it to happen.
That's right, the astronomers mentioned
that it would take at least a month for a lunar eclipse to occur,
if it were to occur at all.
You moron, talking about astronomers...
Forget about that. But, our Lady Mishil has predicted that it would soon occur!
Hey, do you think just because Lady Mishil wants it to happen, then it would happen?!
It's not even the right time!
You must not know that well, but our Lady Mishil... is a demigod, a demigod!!
Half the size??? She is too tall.
Hey you bastard...
Do not just pay attention when it comes to eating,
but start paying attention to people's words.
She is half goddess and half human. Got that?!
No such a thing exists!
Hey!
The moon has risen.
You see!! The moon has risen!!
- Let's go and see. - No!!
You're going?
Man... Whenever I see the moon, I'll start feeling hungry.
Do you also believe that the lunar eclipse will occur?
The astronomers said that it isn't correct!
Which means that it won't occur!
C'mon, do not worry! It won't occur!
Nothing will happen to you nor to the Gaya people either.
I know how to read an almanac as well...
A lunar eclipse can be predicted through calculations.
Of course, it won't be that easy, but it is very plausible.
And they're talking about Heaven's will or whatever.
Heaven's will?! There is no such a thing!
Do you believe there is no such a thing as Heaven's will?
Or are you just denying Heaven's will?
No... It's not like that...
Anyways, there will not be a lunar eclipse!
Then, why are you afraid?
What?
Doubt is expressed through your eyes.
Are you worried? That it will really occur?
Deokman?
Yushin Rang?
What is it?
If that happens, what shall we do then?
I suppose it's inevitable that Gaya people will be driven out of Seorabeol.
Not that... Just saying, what if the lunar eclipse actually occurs...
How can we possibly... fight someone like that?
Even if all this was a hoax...
No... If this is all a hoax... then it's even more frightening.
A person who can create such a hoax...
How can we fight this person?
That's why I am afraid.
By chance, if a lunar eclipse occurs...
I really think... I will run away in fear.
That's right. It won't occur.
A human being cannot do such a thing.
But... If something does happen tomorrow...
Then, that would be Mishil's will...
And not Heaven's will.
Can it be true? Is Mishil not a human being?
Run away! Run away!
You're late.
Yes, Ma'am.
Why aren't you reading?
The lunar eclipse has occurred.
Really?
What are people doing?
Are they angry? Are they afraid?
I am not sure about others, but...
I am... afraid.
Of what?
The lunar eclipse?
Heaven's will?
Being able to contain the lunar eclipse... through a person's will...
That is what I am afraid of.
Do you now know what Sadaham's Maehwa is?
What?
Then, have you made a report to Cheonmyeong?
What...?
That you are Cheonmyeong's spy...
Did you think that I wouldn't know?
Then... is Heaven really on Mishil's side?
Then, what is the prophecy that was given to me,
and what is the meaning of the twin star that appears on the Big Dipper?!
Sadaham's Maehwa is a calendar almanac.
Sadaham's Maehwa is the most current and accurate calendar almanac in existence!
Did you not infiltrate into this place in order to find that out?
Go and report this to Cheonmyeong...
That Sadaham's Maehwa is a calendar almanac.
But... Even with this knowledge, what can anyone of you really do about it?
I've prepared and planned for this for over 20 years.
Along the way, many sacrifices had to be made.
And today, I've even created the lunar eclipse!
This is what Sadaham's Maehwa is!
I, Mishil, will use Heaven, but I will not fear Heaven.
I know how cold-hearted this world is, but I will not bow my head to this world.
I will examine and have control over people, but I will not depend on people.
But, what are you? What can you do?
This is Mishil! Go and tell them everything!

Run away.
