EP 01 - 5: RUMORS ABOUT SAM JANG
“Arwah wooden doll apparently.” Great Monk Soo Bo Ri said when he saw the report of the arrest of the evil spirit that Oh Gong brought with confidence. “How about his wife?”+
Oh Gong is gaping. “He has a wife?”
“Obviously, she's wearing a wedding dress. They're a pair.” The Great Monk asserted.
“Then, I'll find and take care of it as soon as possible.” said Oh Gong, arrogant. “Thus, my last task in the human world FINISHED very well.”
“Actually, your return to heaven has not been decided.” The Great Monk made Oh Gong upset. “Your work is good, but reports from creatures around you show that your reputation is bad.”
Oh Gong is riding blood. “Oh, report anyway. Who the hell made a report on me, huh? Who?!”
“Why? Want some revenge?”
Oh Gong held his anger in his hand. “I want to hear criticism, so that I can mirror and improve myself.” he said, lying.
Instead of mentioning the name of the complainant, the Great Monk instead mentioned the contents of the report: “Say, you broke two overpasses in Ssangmun-dong while eradicating the spirit that caused the car accident. You can't make damage in the human world.”
Oh Gong's fist was already unable to contain his anger. Oh Gong threw away the anger through breathing and stretching his back. Oh Gong leaned casually against the back of the chair and protested, “I've HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY catching that damn spirit, but— what's the reply?” Oh Gong clenched his teeth.
The Great Monk responded, “However you protest, you still cannot deny the reports that have already entered. Looks like your return to heaven will be delayed.”
“I thought, I must have cheated again. HUH!” Oh Gong hit the table HARD.
The Great Monk almost jumped from his seat. “Hey, Great God. You can hurt me like this. Remember, I'm your TEACHER.”
Oh Gong glared. “TEACHER, BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. Since it was promised a good position in heaven, I lead A PEACEFUL LIFE and NEVER make trouble since leaving that damn Marble Mountain.”
“ Anyway, you can't go back to heaven now. Maybe next time—”
“Lah, already forget.” Oh Gong cut. “Whatever the task given, WILL NOT I EXECUTE.” he got up and threw the chair he occupied to stick on the wall, he said, then he hit the long table of teak wood furiously until the table was split in two and the legs were messy on the floor.
Luckily, the Great Monk managed to save his laptop. “Have been angry?” he said to Oh Gong. “Other times, you must carry out the task without flaw so that your merit points are enough to return you to heaven.”
“TAK USE YES. I DON'T NEED THAT THING CALLED A POINT OF KINDNESS. MENDING, I JUST ATE THAT BLOODY HUMAN SAM JANG. HUAH!!” Oh Gong just spoke.
The Great Monk pensively for a moment. “How did you know about Sam Jang's whereabouts?”
Oh Gong was curious. “So, right? There is a bloody human Sam Jang born in the human world?”
“No.” The Great Monk was clearly lying.
Oh Gong intercepted the departure of the Great Monk. “There. Thought I was stupid what?”
“Do not. If you eat Sam Jang, you won't be able to go back to heaven.” his advice.
“So it's true, apparently.” Oh Gong concluded. He's VERY ambitious. “And is it true that eating Sam Jang can be overwhelmingly strong?” he's very curious.
“OH GONG-AH!”
“Okeh.” Oh Gong making a look. “Then I will find Sam Jang, eat him, and be the strongest.” then he leaves without permission from his teacher.
Instead of being treated to drinks or snacks, the Great Monk was instead sampled with five colorful crystals by Woo Hwi. “This is the energy of the concert in L.A., this is from the concerts in Vancouver, Tokyo, Bangkok, and .. This bright red one is from Paris.”
Big Monk assumed, “Actually, the popular idol in your agency is a demon, right?”
“It's company secret.” said Woo Hwi, mysteriously.
“Ey, I know.” says Big Monk. “PK? Jeo Pal Gye told me everything. He said, Jang Na Ra is also a demon huh? Just deserve. Where could she be ageless without plastic surgery.”
“Mean it now she intends to plastic surgery, so that it looks old.” Woo Hwi added.
“Dan Hyun Bin.. In order to avoid a health check, he left for the military. Right?”
“Wow, it looks like you are very interested in the entertainment world.”
“Energi can, money can. You must be very happy, Ma Wang.” commented.
Woo Hwi assumed, “It looks like your arrival here is to dismantle the stealth in my agency. Didn't you?”
“Aih, actually I want to discuss about the Great God.” said the Great Monk.
A friendly face made Woo Hwi disappear instantly. He sat up straight and arrogant. “What? Want to inform the return of the Great God to heaven and propose a party or something, right?”
“Don't go back to heaven. The monkey looks like it's going to make trouble.” The Great Monk was very sure.
Woo Hwi happily-happily-sadly heard the words of the Great Monk. “Aih, why ... she can't go back to heaven?” woo Hwi said while holding a happy laugh. “Actually—what problem—yang—Son Oh Gong make this time?” he couldn't hold back his laughter.
“He intends to eat Sam Jang.”
And the laughter Woo Hwi desperately wanted disappeared instantly. “Sam Jang? So, right Sam Jang has been born into the world?”
“That time, the son of man who freed Oh Gong from the Marble Mountain, didn't you send him?” ask the Great Monk to Woo Hwi the Devil.
Woo Hwi immediately gave him an explanation, “I did not send the boy to free Son Oh Gong. To put out the fire on Taebaek Mountain, I asked the boy to take the Iron Fan Princess. And because of that, I got suspended for 100 years of using force in serving 1000 years of my punishment in this world.”
“Peach. Do you remember that human boy?” ask the Great Monk.
“Of course.” replied Woo Hwi.
“The human child is Sam Jang.”
Woo Hwi is aghast.
“...As punishment for having freed Son Oh Gong, the human child was destined to confront all kinds of evil spirits for the rest of his life.”
“Oh so apparently.” Woo Hwi hasn't winked.
“Can you find that human child and be his protector?” The Great Monk asked.
Woo Hwi was silent. He still clearly remembered the smile and the wave of the human child's hand as he went to carry out the task he was given. He didn't think it would be his destiny. “The child ... Sam Jang?”
