One early morning, I found myself sitting and relaxing at the western gates of Kugnae.. I've been sitting and observing this black cat for some time.. I felt connected to this cat, I feel as we talk mentally and we can understand each other..

This cat is soo loveable, friendly and wise.. An adventurous creature. I found myself following this cat, all the way past the eastern gates of Kugnae into the Dae shore. The cat lead me straight to a well which holds water, deeper, far north. A well that was guarded by a big turtle!

The cat ran around the area as I was looking around to what this cat might of wanted to show me. Before I realized it the cat dropped a rope at my feet and with a swaying motion of it's tail, it jumped inside the well.

Without thinking, I tied the rope to the rails that held up the bucket system and I crawled down the rope into the well. I could feel a sense of destiny within myself, fate to say. The well was open and wide, cold, wet and dark. The cat lead me to a silent but alive person hiding in the corner of the bottom well, or at this point.. A cave for it's size.

This mad peasant had rags on his head, a very angry face and he was really silent.. I asked if he needed help and if he was alright.. he only responded to me with a question. In a mad voice the peasant asked how many ginseng would it take to make the dragon king happy.. I vowed to the man I will perform an I-Ching reading to help him understand his question much clearer.

I returned later prepared to perform an I-ching reading for this mad peasant. I had three coins, each having a heads and tail side. I tossed the three coins three time, each time creating the lines that create the trigram of thunder. I this did this again and created the trigram of earth. All together this formed Fu.

I looked at the mad peasant and spoke boldly but truthful. I told him not to stress or worry of what will make the dragon king happy but to remain calm and plan for an arrival. I know he cares much for this dragon king. I can see it in his eyes. I assured him that success for him and the dragon will be fruitful with Life, with time and growth, a new arrival will be emerging soon for him. He thanked me silently and continued to sit in his well.
