- Sahng-jeh-nim Visits Hyung-yul in April
- 1 On April 13, Sahng-jeh-nim arrived at Hyung-yul’s house in Ha-oon Village.
- 2 Hyung-yul greeted Him and said, “Please, let us go inside.” Without entering, Sahng-jeh-nim said, “The qi of childbirth is in your house.”
- 3 “How did You know?” Hyung-yul asked.
“I know because a sahm-shin just entered your house on horseback.”
- 4 Sahng-jeh-nim then said, “Let us sit under the persimmon tree.” They sat under the tree facing each other.
- 5 “Will you undertake a work that will ruin two families but let the whole world succeed?” Sahng-jeh-nim asked.
- 6 Hyung-yul said he would, but Sahng-jeh-nim did not enter the house until Hyung-yul had given his affirmation three times.
- 7 A moment later, they were informed that Hyung-yul’s wife had given birth to a son. Sahng-jeh-nim named the child, who amazingly had four nipples, Chul-lee-ma.
- 8 Sahng-jeh-nim was thirty-two at the time, and Hyung-yul was forty-one.
