People of all ages and genders disappear every day. Even the cries of people can be heard day and night.

The elders of ‘Mae. Nan. Guk. Juk’ from all over Joseon gathered together to discuss a secret plan to stop Changgui.
First, Mr. Hong, the elder of the ‘Nan’ family, spoke.
“The evil spirits are taking over Joseon and the tigers are trying to eat everything, so there are signs that the country is going to fall. Tsk tsk... If we don’t show a way, it will be difficult to get rid of this evil spirit.”
Then, the elder of the ‘Juk’ family, Mr. Yeom, said:
"That's right. Now that the great shamans of the house, bearing the names of the Four Gentlemen, have gathered here, a great solution will emerge. What good method is there?"
Mr. Jang of the ‘Guk’ family also added something.
"Usually, plums are a favorite food of Changgui. If we can lure Changgui into using them to catch the tiger..."
"If it were as easy as it sounds, it wouldn't be this difficult. It's difficult, that's why shamans keep trying so hard to get caught."
“It’s not as easy as it sounds, so isn’t that what we, the shamans, are trying to do?”
Hong said after hearing Jang's words. It seemed like the two were about to argue.
At that time, the oldest and most historic of the four noble families, the Song family of the ‘Mae’ family, coughed a couple of times and then said.
"Stop fighting. Arguing among those who have gathered to prevent chaos will make no difference."
At those words, Jang and Hong bowed their heads.
"But, sir, there's no other way. What if I rush in to catch the tiger and get bitten by the crow?"
"The solution is simple. Gather those with tiger eyes, teach them the 'tiger dance,' and unite their minds. Then, by luring them with plums and catching the evil tigers, it will be easy."
"However, the tiger dance is something only awakened shamans can perform. Even we, who represent the Four Gracious Plants, have spent decades learning this dance, so it's impossible to master it in a short period of time. Furthermore, this dance requires skill in sword handling. How could children possibly do it?"
"There must be a child who can dance the tiger dance. First, let's wait for Heaven's will. We can pray, ask, and exchange letters with each other while waiting. Whoever receives the will first will teach the dance to the one with the tiger's eyes."

The contents of the letters from the shamans of the Four Gentlemen were as follows. Unlike the three who needed a different method, Song of the ‘Mae’ family was steadfast.
[How can we catch a tiger when there is still no divine will? Many are dying while waiting for God's will. We need another way. -bamboo(porridge)]
[God's will cannot come so quickly. It has not even been ten days yet, and if you are so impatient, Heaven will be angry.-chrysanthemum(soup)]
[I tried to teach dancing to a child with a great talent, but instead of dancing, he got cut by the sword he was holding and got hurt. I think this might not be the right way.-orchid(I am) ]
[Have you received God's will? I haven't heard any such news. Trying to teach dancing to someone who wasn't given God's will is bound to result in injury. Let's wait five more days and see if there's no will.-plum(hawk)]
After two weeks, Song of the Mae family received a divine message from the bottom of the mountain. The voice of the god said, "If you teach a child who holds a white fan how to dance, peace will come to the world."
Starting with the ‘Mae’ family, the will of heaven was passed down to the other four noble families. In this way,The tiger grasped psychic’this It came into being.The children, whose names descended from the sky, quickly mastered dance and swordsmanship. While none of them could slay the tiger, this was the only way for them.
“The spear is only used as an object. Find the tiger and cut it down.”
When Chang-Gwi sells his soul to the plum, he can find out the tiger's location and use it to cut off the tiger's head, and the Chang-Gwis who captured him disappear.
The current Joseon
Those were the times.
