Description
Mount Kumgang in Korea is one of the most scenic places in the world. In the 7th century, the Silla Kingdom kept the area as a sacred region and built a captivating Buddhist Temple. Anyone who climbed the mountains to collect diamonds found every step taken to be deadly. To discourage people from exchanging their greedy lives for treasures, the Buddhist Priests spread the word that in the temple, the statute of Buddha sat holding 50 diamonds in one hand. Getting to the temple was easy, but any raider of Buddha’s diamonds must pay the price. How to identify the robbers to extract the payment was anybody’s guess.
In 1910, Japanese invaders vandalized the region with gunfire, so Koreans added fighters to protect their holy area. But, people didn’t believe the fighting awakened the sleeping spirits or any myth except one girl. She had a piece of evidence to prove it and find the diamond raiders and the price they paid or will pay for their defiant ventures.
