- Granting a Descendant by Transferring a Sahm-shin
- 1 Gahng Jae-yohng of Jo-johng Village did not have a loving relationship with his wife. As a result, after ten years of marriage, they still did not have any children.
- 2 One day, when Tae-mo-nim was arriving at Jae-yohng’s house, She stepped on the tail of a male dog that was lying on the ground. The dog bit Her on the leg, making her bleed.
- 3 Tae-mo-nim returned home, immersed Her leg in water, and removed the poisonous blood, saying, “I will draw out the poisonous qi and resolve the trouble between Jae-yohng and his wife.”
- 4 She then summoned Bahk Suh-ook. “Since you are old and already have two sons, you do not need to produce more. Transfer your sahm-shin to Jae-yohng.”
- 5 “I will,” Suh-ook replied.
- 6 Tae-mo-nim sent word that Jae-yohng should use the same room as his wife
- 7 and instructed Gahng Wun-sup to take Suh-ook to him.
- 8 Suh-ook said to Jae-yohng, “Receive my sahm-shin and have a precious son.”
- 9 After this, the relationship between the husband and wife became loving and harmonious, and the wife gave birth to a son.
- 10 On another occasion, Tae-mo-nim said, “The sahm-shins give birth to people; the Seven Stars nurture them.”
