Episode 128. How do you know all that?
Unfair village.
Anbin Spot.
After finishing breakfast, the Yeonjeokha party gathered around the window. They were killing time until the coachman came with the carriage.
At that moment, five or six beggars passed by the inn.
Yeonjeokha muttered absentmindedly as she looked out the window.
“There are a lot of beggars this morning.”
“That’s right. You’re acting strange today.”
It was when Namgungcheon of Cheongung Sword slightly squinted his eyes.
Suddenly, a young beggar from among the crowd came in.
He spoke quickly towards Yeonjeokha.
“The person sent by Seo Chang Gudoo went to Gwangmyeongjangwon. Watch your back.”
Then, without even waiting for an answer, he quickly escaped through the back door.
Yeonjeokha, who had been blankly staring, asked Namgungcheon.
“Brother, what did the beggar say?”
“Hmm! The guy named Seo Chang that I met in Maengrim was the one who was decapitated. It seems he told Gwangmyeongjangwon about our destination. The open method of seeking agreement secretly told us about it.”
“It’s complicated.”
“If the guillotine goes down a different path from the open one, then people who move independently like that will appear. By the way, I don’t think Gwangmyeongjangwon will stay still anymore… … . Ugh!”
Namgungcheon scratched his head.
I remembered yesterday when I told them to just leave the beggars behind. I felt ashamed that I had done something kind and ended up in this mess in just one day.
I glanced at the face of the person I was dating.
I remembered what I said to Simtong, who was concerned about the beggars’ stalking.
Simtong had a proud smile on his face.
“Old Man Shim, are you feeling good?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“But why are you laughing so hard?”
“Hehehe, did I laugh?”
“Look at that. They say that they might be aiming for Gwangmyeongjangwon, so what kind of symbol is that smiling happily?”
“What am I worried about when Confucius is here? Whether it be ten or a hundred heads, I do not care.”
“Wow. If you can’t even speak… … .”
Yeonjeok, who had been shaking her head, got up from her seat when a four-horse carriage arrived in front of the restaurant.
As Yeonjeok-ha was about to leave the spot, Simtong asked.
“What if the beggars follow me again this time?”
“… … .”
Yeonjeokha, who had been hesitating for a moment, answered.
“Leave them alone. There are good beggars out there.”
“yes.”
Simtong didn’t ask twice.
If it weren’t for the young beggar from earlier, I might have killed him secretly. However, as Yeonjeokha said, there are good beggars, so I’m going to leave them alone.
Do you know that young beggar from earlier?
That his actions had saved dozens of beggars.
***
Around noon.
The four-horse carriage carrying Yeonjeokha and his party was just passing through Jodong Village.
The martial artists dressed in black appeared like ghosts and blocked the carriage.
Hehehe! Purruk. Purruk.
The horses stopped and trotted wildly as the startled director hastily pulled on the reins.
Yoo Geun-sik, who was riding next to Ma Bu-seok, was startled and shouted.
“Who are you blocking my way?”
Among the men in black, the Dark Lord, Dark Ghost Slayer Sadoyoung, took a step forward.
“Is the Green Forest Patrolman Yeon Jeok-ha riding in this carriage?”
“But who are you?”
Sadoyoung ignored him and shouted.
“I am from Gwangmyeongjangwon. Come out immediately, you Green Forest Patrol Commander!”
The carriage door opened with a bang.
And then six people came out one by one.
Yeonjeokha, whose eyes met with Sadoyoung’s, tilted his head and asked.
“Huh? I think we’ve met. Who are you?”
‘omg!’
Sadoyoung’s heart sank after confirming his opponent.
He was a boy who had his own dream of escaping death shattered in one stroke.
I vividly recalled meeting him about three years ago while I was trying to capture Palju Ridge from Suwol Sangbang.
‘That guy was the chief patrolman of the Nokrim!’
That day, not only himself but also Woong Jae-gwi hastily left the place.
It’s partly because the eight-legged sergeant takes priority, but more than that, it’s because that guy’s martial arts skills are just so outstanding.
The stiff-faced Apostle suddenly turned around.
“Go back immediately!”
With those words, he performed his lightness technique without any hesitation and left the place.
The twenty or so men in black disappeared in an instant without a trace, just as they had appeared.
Yeonjeokha, who had been waiting for an answer, muttered with a blank expression.
“So who are you?”
“Did you know him?”
Yeonjeokha shook her head at Namgungcheon’s question.
“You look familiar, but I don’t know you. I think I’ve seen you somewhere… … .”
An experienced mind has a word to say.
“Your Majesty, looking at those black clothes, they look like the guys I met on my way to Gangnam three years ago.”
“Ah! Right. I thought I’d seen you somewhere. You’re the people I saw back then. We killed quite a few people from the upper ranks that day, didn’t we, because of the Palju Pass or something?”
“That’s right. Now that I think about it, it seems like those famous religious people did it to take away Palju Ridge.”
Namgungcheon glanced at Yeonjeokha.
“What happened three years ago?”
“Oh, yes. So it was about three years ago.”
He told me about a bizarre experience he had while on his way to the Green Forest Festival in Gangnam.
“… … At that time, there was another old man with that person. After getting hit a few times, he just ran away.”
“Oh! So that happened.”
It was when Namgungcheon nodded.
Namgung Yeon, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
“Hey, Jeokha. Was the name of that room Suwolsangbang by any chance?”
“Huh? Yes. How would you know that, Sister?”
“Huh! So, you and the Five Bongsipgeols must have used the name Biryongmun?”
“That’s right. I thought no one would know. What on earth don’t you know?”
“Well, what could it be?”
Namgung Yeon smiled brightly.
I’ve been wondering for a long time about the true identity of the Biryongmun Gate, but who would have thought I’d find out here!
“Why did you name it Biryongmun?”
“The name of the nine-thousand-year-old law that I taught to my sworn brothers is Biryongseungcheon. That’s why I called it Biryongmun.”
“Ah! So that’s where the story about going to help the Ascension Gate came from. You must have been surprised to learn that there really was a real Ascension Gate later on.”
“Wow! I got goosebumps just now. How do you know all that, big sister?”
I couldn’t help but admire the sincerity of the couple.
How dare you talk about things that happened three years ago that only the Five Bongsipgeol know about as if you saw them with your own eyes!
Jin Seol-ha, who was standing next to Yeon Jeok-ha like a decoration, said a word.
“It’s cold. Should we go inside now?”
Only then did the people come to their senses and return to the carriage one by one.
Seol Cha-su said, tapping Jin Seol-ha on the shoulder.
“Good job. That’s how you do it.”
***
Liangshan County.
Gwangmyeongjangwon.
The eyes of the head priest of the church, Ungjaegwi, opened wide in welcome.
“What? You’re saying that’s the young guy that the Green Forest patrol met when they attacked Suwolsangbang three years ago?”
The dark spirit Sadoyoung nodded.
“Yes, I withdrew as soon as I saw his face. He seemed to recognize me too.”
“What a small world.”
Woongjaegwi was amazed.
I will never forget the fight that day. He was the first person to push me to become Baekdu-ma-gun. How could I meet him again in Je-yeong?
“Why did the guy called the Green Forest Patrolman show up in Jeonyeong?”
“I don’t know it yet, but there were six people traveling with me.”
“Considering the fact that he’s talking about being the grim reaper of a famous religion, he must be coming here with hostile purposes towards our religion. Find out what his intentions are through Baek-ui-gae.”
“yes.”
“Aside from that, go with the black and white twin horses and check out the bastard’s weapons.”
Sadoyoung looked at Woongjaegwi with startled eyes.
The black and white twin horses were the guardians of Gwangmyeongsanjang and were horses from previous generations that were superior to them.
“I’m sorry, but what do you mean when you say to check the bastard’s inaction?”
“If you can kill, kill, and if that’s too hard, just retreat.”
“yes!”
Contrary to his powerful answer, Sadoyoung’s expression was not bright.
Could it be because of the intense memories from three years ago?
Just thinking about that guy’s shabby face made my heart feel heavy and suffocated.
Looking at the dead Apostle Young, Woong Jae-Gwi said.
“Do you think it’s easy to save Palju-ryeong? I’m saying kill him if you can, I’m not asking you to risk your life and that of the black and white twin horses for this. Do you understand?”
“Ah! Yes.”
Only then did Sadoyoung’s face brighten a little.
“We need to know how much of a hindrance that guy is to our school’s work so we can prepare for it. Three of the ten horsemen should be enough to gauge that.”
“I will definitely cut off that bastard’s head!”
Sadoyoung, who thought he had shown weakness in front of Woongjaegwi, shouted at the last minute. In fact, he really wanted to do that if he could.
***
Huahwachon.
Around 3pm – 5pm.
In front of a small village of about twenty households, the four-horse carriage of Yeonjeokha and his party stopped for a moment.
Namgungcheon, who was standing next to the horse, looked at Isa with a puzzled look.
“Why did it stop?”
“It seems like it took about two hours (4 hours) to get here from Jodongchon. If I move now, I might end up sleeping outside. What should I do?”
“ah!”
An exclamation came out of Namgungcheon’s mouth.
It was still daytime so I hadn’t thought about that, but the coachman was right.
Namgungcheon, who had been thinking for a moment, asked the carriage.
“Hey! If I pass this village, I might end up homeless. What should I do?”
Since I had no one to ask specifically, I asked him a question in a sneaky manner.
just as expected?
After a while of arguing about the matter in the carriage, Yeonjeokha’s voice was soon heard.
“Brother! Let’s just go. The town is small anyway, so it’ll be hard to find a room.”
“That seems to be the case. Okay, I see!”
The director, who had been listening to the conversation, swung his whip lightly and shouted, “Here!”
The four-horse chariot moved forward powerfully again.
As the director had worried, he ran until it got dark, but the village was nowhere to be seen.
In the end, Namgungcheon had to strain his eyes to find the homeless people.
“Let’s go there.”
Namgungcheon pointed forward with his finger.
Soon the carriage stopped in a hollow space between the bare trees.
As the people riding in the carriage got out, the director slightly turned the carriage around to block the front. Then, the wind path was blocked, and it looked quite cozy even though it was out in the open.
After several nights of homelessness, people dispersed to find things to do without being asked to do so.
Seolchasu and his party diligently gathered firewood, while Namgungcheon and his siblings scouted the surrounding area.
Yeonjeokha and Simtong leveled the place where they would sleep with the coachman.
Of course, ‘helping the groom’ is only the wish of two people.
In reality, the move was already done before they could do anything. The work itself was simple, but the mover’s hands were very fast.
The director didn’t even expect help from Yeonjeokha and Simtong.
Yeonjeokha and Simtong would probably feel a little wronged if they found out, but in truth, he thought that the two of them had the strongest martial arts skills, so he just stayed behind and rested.
Wuxia,
