Episode 98
Inevitability created by chance (4)
“What? Why did that beggar come all the way here? Have you finally been kicked out of your Ark job?”
“How many times have I told you that the Dragon Head Ark is not a position to be kicked out of?”
“Giggles.”
“Stop laughing so weirdly. “I don’t want to hear it.”
“If you don’t want to hear it, don’t come.”
“This son of a b*tch is very young and speaks very rudely.”
“I heard that the days of making friends based on age are over?”
“There are degrees of that too, man. “He hasn’t even reached heaven yet.”
“Then shall we treat the beggar as our brother? “Where do you make modifications?”
“Then you really get hit.”
“Hit, hit.”
puck!
“100 million! “You really hit it!”
“It’s noisy. Bring me a drink. It’s so hard, I’m going to die. “Why did a guy who has nothing to do build a conduit on this high mountain?”
The Taoist man stood up while grumbling.
As I headed toward the kitchen and listened to the rumblings, I couldn’t help but notice them. ‘Why are you looking for alcohol when you come to Dodong?’ ‘But how did you know there was alcohol?’ ‘I must die after seeing that b*stard lose his life.’ ‘The beggar’s rope is really long.’ It was content that made the listener’s blood pressure rise.
Hwa Jin-cheon was patient. Well, isn’t that the meanest thing in the world? Even if you call yourself a great king among those beggars, you are still a beggar.
You can’t maintain this relationship without patience. He couldn’t help but admire his patience over the years.
After a while, the Taoist monk came to see the drinking table.
“What do you want? “I told you to just bring alcohol, but what was that?”
“What are you doing, you dirty b*stard? “It’s beef jerky.”
“You’re a Taoist, right?”
“Noisy.”
“Did you know I was coming?”
“Then you don’t even know that, so you’re going to make a living off fortune telling?”
“No one comes to see fortunes anyway.”
“Oh, get a drink! “My back hurts!”
After a while, two people set up a drinking table in the vacant lot in front of the doguan and filled each other’s glasses.
Taoist Tong Tian Jin-in (通天眞人) asked.
“Anyway, what’s going on here?”
Hwa Jin-cheon snorted.
“Why would you come to see a fortune teller? “I came here to find out something.”
“crazy. They say it’s the best room in the world? You say you have a tight hold on all the world’s information? But what do you know?”
“Are information and fortune the same?”
“Is there enough bokchae?”
“A man with a lot of wealth is greedy.”
“That’s different from that, you idiot!”
“If you want anything, tell me. “I’ll send the kids there.”
The playfulness slowly disappeared from Tong Tian Jinyin’s face.
The difference between a playful face and a serious face was very significant. It was to the point where I wondered if I had become a completely different person.
“It’s because of the nine states, right?”
Hwa Jin-cheon’s eyes lit up.
As expected, this guy knew. He was a man who sat on the top of a high mountain and looked at the world.
“The owner was also involved. “But what I want to ask is a little different.”
“It must be because of the young tiger who is at the forefront of taking down the old family?”
Hwa Jin-cheol’s face showed seriousness.
“Yes, I came because of that guy. “More precisely, I came because I was curious that the world worked differently than you said.”
Tongcheonjinin.
It is said that there were three great men among the powerful men of the time. Each of the three masters was well-versed in one field and was given the title Tongcheon (通天) because their level reached heaven.
Ganghosamgi (江湖三奇). Or the three martial arts paths.
Tongcheonjinin was one of the three groups and the most difficult to meet among the three groups.
“I don’t know that your fortune telling skills have reached heavenly levels. And that the fortune-telling shows completely limited abilities.”
Tongcheonjinin sees the flow and logic of the world. Sometimes they predicted the future and even told people’s fate.
But that is only an extremely limited ability. Not only were there very few people who met Tongcheon Jinin, but even if they did, there were days when they could not see fortune telling depending on the luck of the day.
But one thing was certain.
A fortune telling once spoken is not wrong. So far, nothing that has come out of his mouth has ever been wrong.
Tong Tian Jinyin shook his head.
“It’s ridiculous to say that we have reached the heights of heaven. “It’s just that my natural spirit was so strong that I was struggling not to die.”
“Whatever.”
“I can only glimpse through the cracks in the sky, but I have not mastered it. “If I had mastered the laws of heaven, I would have become a immortal.”
“Is there such a thing as freshness?”
“If you believe, it will exist, but in the eyes of those who do not believe, it will not exist.”
“done. “I’m not allowed to answer Zen questions that don’t even sound like words.”
“Why is this a Zen question?”
“Noisy.”
“Wow, this guy is such a beggar….”
“Okay, just say it. Why has it changed? No, why was it wrong?”
A shadow appeared on Tong Tian Jinyin’s face.
“I do not know either.”
“I don’t know? “The world’s Tong Tian Jin-in?”
“You’re not being sarcastic, are you?”
“Speak without joking. “Because I’m serious.”
“Ugh, I don’t know. As I said, if you know all those things, is that a person? “It’s fresh.”
“Hmm…”
“There is just one catch.”
“What?”
Tongcheonjinin, who poured a full glass of alcohol into his mouth, suddenly burped.
“Sometime last year… Yeah, I think it was fall. “Something changed around that time.”
“Last fall?”
“Should we call it heavenly energy or heavenly energy? “I saw something that was hard to explain distorted across the sky.”
“Cheongira….”
“I didn’t even know what that was at the time. Actually, I still don’t know for sure. However, I am guessing that the change at that time was the starting point of a future that was different from what I predicted in the past.”
“…It’s difficult.”
“Would you like me to tell you something that isn’t difficult, but is also hopeless?”
“What?”
Tong Tian Jinyin said bitterly.
“You will never come here again.”
“What does that mean?”
“I stopped showing it from then on.”
“…what?”
“I can’t see it. “It doesn’t work.”
Hwa Jin-cheon’s face was colored with shock.
“What does that mean? “Lucky fortune telling doesn’t work?”
“Yes, no. “No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t see it.”
“…No way? wait for a sec! You knew I would come visit you today, right? “Didn’t you know that the Nine Zhou Myeong Family disappeared after becoming a martial enemy and the identity of the person who took the lead in destroying the Myeong Family?!”
Tong Tian Jinyin snorted.
“Are you really the leader of openness? “Since when did people become this stupid?”
“huh?”
“Myeong-ga has become a martial arts hero. It is known all over the world, so does it make sense that you don’t know that? Every time I go down to the store to buy daily necessities, everyone talks about it. And who is Yeonga’s eldest son?”
“Yeonhojeong.”
“Yeah, I’ve been hearing about that guy too. A man who is the reincarnation of Sun Ce and Yuk Son, the young tigers of Gangdong. “The fortress is called Wall Coral Camp?”
“Isn’t that right?”
“Just because I live on a high mountain doesn’t mean I won’t go down to the world. “You know everything.”
Hwa Jin-cheon asked urgently.
“Then how did you know I was coming?”
“that?”
Tong Tianjin smiled bitterly and took out a thin booklet from his arms.
“I wrote it down here.”
“What is it?”
“It’s not that I didn’t see it at some point. Slowly, one by one, they started to disappear. “I wrote down everything I saw just in case.”
“…!”
“and.”
Tong Tianjin threw the booklet carelessly.
The booklet that had flown far away was blown by the wind and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
Hwa Jin-cheon’s mouth dropped open.
“What are you doing?!”
“Your coming was the last line in that book.”
“Oh my…”
Tong Tian Jinyin chuckled.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“No… I never thought you would lose your fortune telling skills…”
“Why are you making such a fuss about fortune telling?”
“what?”
“I became energized and became a Taoist monk, and I mastered Sangdanjeon (上丹田). However, I am only a Taoist. “He just had a talent for fortune telling, so he told me various facts, but even that didn’t mean he could only choose what he wanted.”
“…!”
“A monk can’t worship Buddha because he lost an arm, and a Taoist monk can’t practice the path because he’s blind? “There’s nothing to feel so sad about.”
Hwa Jin-cheon sighed.
“One good news source has disappeared.”
Tong Tianjin burst into laughter.
“You’ve been too clever. “If I have to confess, there were a lot of things I didn’t tell you even though I could clearly see them when you came to see your fortune.”
“what? “Did this crazy Taoist trick me?”
“I’m telling you, it’s not difficult, but if I do that, won’t my spirit go awry?”
“…?!”
“Don’t ignore your influence. If Yongdu Ark makes a mistake, the world will be shaken. If I were to teach you fate and predict the future, wouldn’t that in itself be a reverse heaven?”
Hwa Jin-cheon could not bear to continue speaking.
Tong Tian Jinyin took a sip of his drink and spoke in a simple tone.
“Where is the answer sheet in life? Today is precious because we don’t know the future. That’s life. Therefore, it is not good to rely on fortune telling.”
“You’re texting me saying I’m a pestilence guru.”
“ha ha ha!”
Tong Tian Jin’s laughter was very pleasant to hear.
Even if he loses his fortune-telling skills, which are worthy of being called a divine skill, he doesn’t care at all. Or rather, it seemed as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Hwa Jin-cheon smiled bitterly.
I thought that my friend’s loss of his organs was a loss both to him and to himself. But what if the person involved is so happy? We have no choice but to be happy together.
“I’ll come more often from now on.”
“oh? Are you comforting me?”
“What about comfort? I plan to hand over the position of ark to my student sometime soon. “I’m staying in a quiet place, so please be my drinking buddy.”
“Has that damned b*stard grown that much already? “I don’t think it’s been that long since I last saw you.”
“It’s still a long way away. “Still, the spirit and sincerity he possessed seemed believable.”
“If you say that, you must have become a b*tch.”
“If you train your martial arts properly, there is nothing better.”
Hwa Jin-cheon stood up.
“I guess I’ll have to leave for today. “I’m a little busy.”
Tong Tianjin waved his hand.
“Please come visit me anytime.”
“I will soon build a room next to it, so don’t kick it out.”
“ha ha ha!”
* * *
“hmm.”
I was very busy today too.
Even though a martial arts expert only works for a day and does not suffer any physical problems, the mental energy consumption is significant. I’ve been doing this for over ten years.
Yeonwi massaged the back of her neck. My neck wasn’t particularly stiff, but it felt like it was relaxing when I massaged it like this.
Baekhyun Lee, who was watching Yeonwi next to him, organized the documents.
“I will do the rest. “Please rest today, matriarch.”
“Sure.”
“Oh, and what will you do, Commander-in-Chief? “Now you’ll have to select someone quickly.”
Yeonwi glanced at Baekhyun Lee.
“If you don’t mind, you can try it.”
“Me?”
Baekhyun Lee waved his hand.
“With that level of ability, how can you become the governor of the Yan family? “It’s enough for me to just assist.”
“You are doing well enough.”
Baekhyun Lee hiccuped without realizing it.
I had no idea that the head of the family would give me such a huge compliment. Baekhyun Lee was so embarrassed that even his face turned white.
“I, I, I will never… “I lack the ability…”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“Just go and see.”
“omg! yep!”
Baekhyun Lee hurriedly left the house. The movements were extremely fast, as if they were expecting something they couldn’t see.
Yeonwi buried her back in the chair.
Although I was tired, every day was still worthwhile. Jiangsu’s business was stable, construction at home went smoothly, and the growth of the second child was especially surprising.
I hoped that tomorrow would be the same as today. Even though it was difficult, I hoped for a day where I could dream of a rewarding and hopeful tomorrow.
‘Second, it looks like the luck isn’t over yet. It’s my first trance, so it’s worth it.’
Yeonwi closed her eyes. It is about relieving the fatigue of the day with clouds.
My son is fighting against a great challenge and opportunity. He, too, needs to be strong as the head of the family and as a father.
How long has it been like that?
“Go, matriarch!”
Yeonwi, who had stopped moving, opened her mouth with her eyes still closed.
“What’s going on?”
“The Grand Duke has arrived!”
At that moment, Yeonwi’s eyes opened brightly.
“Hojeong came?”
“Yes! But….”
“Why are you doing that?”
Baekhyun Lee’s words were overwhelming.
“I brought the pretty Soger with me!”
