A pine tree that has protected Pahoe for a millennium
In front of Pahoe, a large rock houses an old pine tree on its peak. People have been calling this rock Cheonsongam
for as long as anyone can remember. There is an old story in Cheonsongam, in which pine trees and rocks live
together as if in one body for many years. A pine tree that changed the fate of the Pahoe During the Silla period,
Buddhist monk Ilji came to see Pahoe. The sight of the still water churning into a torrent and bending
around beautifully was spectacular, so. Monk Ilji closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. Monk Ilji
was able to see things from the distant past when he was deep in meditation, and at some point, he could
even view events from the future. When he closed his eyes, he could see a thousand-year-old white snake
threading through the clear water. The white snake trained and over and over again in the water, and finally.
by reaching Nirvana, he had the opportunity to live as a dragon in the sky. However, if you devoted yourself
to training but didn’t cleary our mind, even if you lived 10,000 years, a snake would only remain as a snake.
Even though the snake’s scales were battered and torn, it continued to move and glide along the water.
He tried to let go of his greed and keep hold of his pure heart that heaven had given him. Then one day,
there was deafening thunder and lightning accompanied by in the heavy rain. The heavy rain turned into a vortex
and became a column of water connecting the waves with the sky. The white serpent, which had been training
for a long time, suddenly turned into a white dragonand flew into the sky by way of the water column.
Monk Ilji opened his eyes and said,
“As the rumor goes, this must be a blessed place where snakes crawling under the ground, trained for many years, turned into dragons, and flew up into the sky.”
Monk Ilji read a poem of blessing to the place and tried to turn back. It was just then that. Monk Ilji
collapsed with a frustrated face. He saw the water of the Pahoe turning dark green. On top of it, a number
of aquatic animals that lived only in clear water were seen floating on the dark green water.
“It’s poison. Terrible poison spreads in this water.”
Monk Ilji was uncomfortable contemplating the future he envisioned. He wanted to prevent
such a beautiful place from turning into a pond of death. Moreover, Pahoe was a place
where a snake had trained and flew up into the heavens as a dragon. If people also devoted themselves
to the stream of Pahoe, it would help them realize the will of the Buddha.
“I must find a way to protect this place somehow.”
Monk Ilji traveled around, thinking about what the method would be.
“Yes, if only I could change the view of this landscape a little!”
However, he couldn’t come up with a good way to change the appearance of Pahoe. Monk Ilji
decided to leave Muju after seeing the Pahoe and decided chose to stay overnight and think
about how. Monk Ilji settled on staying overnight at a pavilion called Pahoejeong, which was built
on a strange rock across the stream. Monk Ilji, who while praying to the Buddha, fell asleep and ended up
tossing and turning all night. until someone woke him up. He was upright-faced and, had long hair.
Monk Ilji was surprised because he thought he was suddenly face to face with a mugger late at night.
“Oh, you look surprised, monk. I, too, am just a traveler.”
His body smelled strongly, but strangely, it wasn’t a very unpleasant smell. Rather, it was subtle and fragrant.
The monk seemed to have smelled it somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember it well.
“Then, you are also a tourist who has come to see the scenery of this place.”
He laughed. “I’m not a tourist, I’m here to work.”
“Really?, What do you do here?”
“Someone wrote to me, asking me to be a gatekeeper.”
“Oh, that’s a relief. You’re the one who’ll protect Pahoe.”
The long hair man scratched his head.
“I was supposed to meet you over there, but the person who gave me with the job was lost, so I didn’t show up at the appointed place. So, I’m going to wait untildawn today and go.”
The long-haired man pointed at a large rock by the road. Monk Ilji turned his head and looked
at the rock. At that moment, Monk Ilji woke up from a dream. It had been such a vivid dream.
Before he knew it, dawn was breaking. Monk Ilji, coming down from the hermitage, rushed toward
the place pointed to by the long-haired man in his dream. The rock he had seen in his dream was really
there. However, once at the rock, Monk Ilji tilted his head to organize his thoughts and took a walk
in the forest around Pahoe. Somewhere, he could still smell the fragrance of long-haired man.
Monk Ilji hurried toward the smell. It was turned out to be a large pine tree. However, it was not
possible to pull out the pine tree and move it to the side of the rock. Monk Ilji, who was agonizing over this,
broke off a pine tree branch and came to the rock holding it in his arms. And he put it in a deep
crack in the rock. It was unlikely that trees could grow on rocks with no soil at all, but if these pine
branches took root, maybe Pahoe would be safe. Monk Ilji left the fate of this place to a small pine branch
and left. After that, pine trees began to grow miraculously on rocks. When the pine tree grew large enough
to shade Pahoe, a large poisonous snake came up to the Pahoe. A serpent came to train himself to fly to heaven
in a snake-shaped wave. However, because of the pine trees growing on the rocks, the serpent, who thought
it was not a Pahoe, went on his way to search again. If the viper had stayed in the Pahoe while training,
the Pahoe would have turned into a pond of death where nothing could be done because of the poison
possessed by the viper. Since then, pine trees have remained in place for a thousand years by bending
with the Pahoe. Some time later, people began to call pine trees and the rocks under them Cheonnyeonsong
and Cheonnyeonam, which means that they have been growing for a thousand years. And when the night
grows long, the pine tree on the rock looks like a long-haired man.
