Episode 159. The Road We Take
Yeonjeokha said, putting down the teacup he was holding.
“There is a path we take. It is my path. Why are you asking when you know that?”
“Foot!”
When Hwayongdoksim Namgungyeon burst into laughter, the others also laughed along.
It was only much later that Salcheondo Gokmunsang realized that it was a joke made against him.
But surprisingly, it didn’t boil over like it did at first.
Maybe it’s because I decided to take action here anyway.
“But who are you?”
Gokmunsang thought that if he knew the identity of this one guy, he would be able to figure out the rest.
“If you know, you’ll get hurt.”
“That crazy guy.”
At his words, Gucheonnodo Simtong jumped up from his seat.
“How dare that old man! Your Majesty, if you leave it to me… … .”
“no.”
Yeonjeokha, who got up from her seat, looked at Gokmunsang.
“The old man dared to kill my younger brother, so he must pay the price?”
“Stop talking nonsense… … . Ugh!”
As he spoke, Gokmunsang began to tremble.
Yeon-jeok-ha, who was tired of using his body, used the method of murder to suppress him.
As the unimaginable murderous intent tightened around his body, Gokmunsang floundered in confusion.
I tried to resist by raising my stamina, but it was no use.
As time passed, the suffocating pressure grew stronger.
Gokmunsang just croaked, his eyes bloodshot and foaming at the mouth.
When the three monsters saw the sight, they shouted, “This is witchcraft!” and attacked Yeonjeokha.
He poured out his killing intent towards the three monsters he was in love with for a moment.
“Cough!”
“Ugh!”
“evil!”
The three monsters froze with a loud scream.
Even though I tried to use my strength like an insect caught in a spider’s web, it was useless.
Immediately afterwards, yellow urine flowed down Gokmunsang and Samgoe’s ankles.
The inn was so quiet that not even a breath could be heard.
The Seven Sang disciples looked back and forth between Yeon Jeok-ha and their disciple with eyes filled with fear.
At that moment, without notice, Jeomsoi came up the stairs carrying food.
Jeomso-yi, who was holding food in both hands, flinched when she discovered Gokmunsang and Samgoe later.
This floor, full of guests, is as quiet as a cemetery.
Everyone’s gaze was turned towards Gokmunsang and Samgoe, whose eyes were wide open and convulsing.
Yeonjeokha spoke to Jeomsoi, who was standing there blankly.
“Hey! What are you doing not coming quickly? Can’t you see the customers waiting?”
“Oh, yes, yes… … .”
Late, Jeomsoi laid out food on the table of Yeonjeokha’s group.
Yeonjeokha, who had been watching quietly, muttered.
“This seems a little different from what we ordered. Is this really ours, Old Man Shim?”
Simtong tilted his head after checking the food.
“I’ve never ordered this steamed fish before. Did you give it to me as a bonus? Kid, is this a bonus?”
“No, there is no extra charge.”
Jeom So-yi, who was looking at Sim Tong and Yori alternately with a bewildered face, said.
“Oh, I think this is the food that should go to that seat.”
Jeomsoi pointed to the spot where Yu Jinwon, the swordsman, was standing.
Simtong, who was glancing at Yoo Jin-won, hit me on the head.
“Ah, that’s what I ordered. I guess I just remembered now. When you get old, you have to die. I even forgot what I ordered.”
Jeomsoi couldn’t dare say no and nodded vigorously.
“Yes, yes, it seems so. I’ll bring out more food. Please wait a moment.”
After finishing speaking, Jeom So-yi quickly ran away from the place.
Yeonjeokha, who had been sniffing around, turned around as if he had just remembered something.
The Gokmunsang and Samgoe were lying limp, like people just pulled out of the water.
Yeonjeokha muttered at the sight.
“You are lucky people.”
While talking about food and Jeomsoi, the murder was resolved. If not, they would still be suffering.
Yeonjeokha turned her head to Lee Cheolsan.
“Cheolsan-ah.”
“yes.”
“You said it was at the Heavenly Sword Gate?”
“yes.”
“I’ll take care of this, so go and finish what you were doing. I’ll come see you before I leave Infinite. Let’s meet up with the brothers separately then.”
“Yes, I will wait. Please stop by.”
Lee Cheol-san greeted the siblings Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung Cheon and went to where Yu Jin-won was.
Yeonjeokha asked while looking at Samgoe.
“Who was the one who ignorantly called it witchcraft?”
“Oh, no. I was blind and couldn’t recognize the deceased. Please forgive me.”
The brave man lowered his eyes.
‘Damn, if I had known it was a murder by decree, I would have run away without looking back… … .’
At first, I thought it was a case of sorcery when I saw the state of the song. However, when I experienced it myself, I realized it was caused by a spirit. It is a regret of the past that I did not think of it that way because the other person was young.
“Forgiveness… … .”
Yeonjeokha muttered with a worried expression on his face.
Earlier, I didn’t care whether they died or not. But as time passed, my killing intent waned. Even if I killed them now, no one would say anything, but I didn’t feel like it.
But I couldn’t just let it go.
They really wanted to kill Lee Cheol-san. If I hadn’t been here today, I would have heard of Lee Cheol-san’s death a long time ago.
“I’ll try to live. But it’ll be hard to live ‘my way’ from now on. I’ll change my path.”
He kept joking until the very end.
Gokmunsang and Samgoe raised their heads to hear the noise.
Yeonjeok-ha suddenly got up and approached Gokmun-sang and Samgoe.
Gokmunsang and Samgoe were startled, but they couldn’t even lift a finger to dodge.
He walked around the four people who were in love and poked the Gihae point with his index finger.
“evil!”
“Ugh!”
A short scream burst from the mouths of four people.
After a while, the faces of the four people who had been raising their spirits became distorted.
When my opponent’s finger got stuck in the Gihae point, I thought, ‘Oops!’
But I couldn’t feel even a single bit of energy, so I wondered if my danjeon was really destroyed.
Gokmunsang cried out with bloodshot eyes.
“You bastard! Kill him instead! I mean kill him!”
For him, who had earned countless favors while serving as the head of the Chilsangmun clan, death was better than death.
The same goes for the three monsters.
If their enemies heard this rumor, they would come looking for revenge.
“If you want to die, go to the Yangtze River and drown yourself. Why do you want me to do that annoying thing? You don’t have the strength to go to the Yangtze River just because your danjeon is destroyed, do you? Your legs are still fine, right?”
At Yeonjeokha’s words, Gokmunsang and Samgoe ground their teeth.
The people of Cheon Geum Mun heard what he just said, so soon the rumor will spread throughout the world.
“If you don’t want to bother killing yourself, just tell me. It may be a bit of a hassle, but I’ll grant your wish.”
Along with the words, Yeonjeokha picked up the chair with both hands.
“You got into a dogfight, so I’ll beat you to death like a dog.”
“… … .”
Gokmunsang and Samgoe glared at the young man with glaring eyes.
Still, it was shocking that they were beating to death the masters they knew from infinity with something like a chair.
When the evil-possessed Gokmunsang was about to curse.
“You asked who I was? I’m your rival. It would be less frustrating if you knew who you were going to kill.”
At the words “Yeonjeok”, Gokmunsang immediately lowered his eyes.
There was no one who did not know the name that had become known in Jeongju.
Green Forest Patrol Yeonjeokha.
A great demon who even wiped out his own maternal family.
Nowadays, there is a rumor that even the famous 12 horse soldiers will be turned to dust if they fall into his hands.
In a situation where the name of the Green Forest alone is burdensome, it is a total patrol.
The strength in Samgoe’s eyes, which had been glaring at him with poisonous eyes, disappeared.
I knew that poison wouldn’t work on that guy.
Considering the usual evil deeds of Nokrim, asking him to kill me here is crazy. He’s a guy who can be killed with chopsticks, not a chair.
Yeonjeokha lifted the chair over his head and asked as if checking.
“Shall I grant your wish?”
The song was answered by the sound of a squeaky-wheeled instrument crawling in.
“… …Please save me.”
Only then did he put down his chair and sit down with a satisfied expression on his face.
“That’s right. Dying isn’t easy. Live hard until you shit on the wall. Go ahead. Take a bath first when you go. Why are you urinating in the guesthouse in broad daylight? Who would think you’re a dog?”
The Gokmunsang and Samgoe walked along, shaking and shaking.
The Seven Disciples of the Seven Sect gathered around Gokmunsang and supported him.
Eugene Won hurriedly sent his disciple, who had been stabbed in the side, to the hospital.
And when the disturbed atmosphere was somewhat settled, I asked Lee Cheol-san a question.
“Master, is that person really the chief patrolman of the Green Forest?”
“yes.”
“Are you your brother-in-law?”
“That’s right.”
Lee Cheol-san was of the mindset to let things be.
I didn’t want to hide it, even though I might be kicked out because I was a younger brother of the Green Forest Patrol.
But that is Lee Cheol-san’s mistake.
Exclamations came out of Yoo Jin-won, of course, as well as his great disciple Yoo Ui-min and the picky Yoo So-woon.
In particular, Yoo So-woon showed a sudden interest.
“Wow! Are you really that guy’s sworn brother? This teacher is amazing.”
“Wow, that’s great?”
Yoo So-woon, Yoo Jin-won’s daughter who usually ignores him, spoke with sparkling eyes.
“Of course. If you’re a Green Forest Patrolman and a sworn brother, you have the best connections in the world. If Gokmunsang of the Chilsangmun had known, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place.”
Eugene Won nodded with a pleased face.
“That’s right, So-woon. I’d like to be introduced to you too, but I guess that’s just being greedy. Hmm, hmm.”
He gave an awkward cough.
If the opponent was just a thief from the Green Forest, it would be shameful to even know him. However, if he was a sworn brother to someone as high as the patrol chief, it was a source of pride in the world.
Lee Cheol-san tilted his head at the unexpected atmosphere.
“Then can I continue working as a teacher?”
“Oh my! What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Don’t even joke about it. I’ll give you a raise right now.”
Taipingsangbang Bangju Yeonhaepyeong said with a smile.
“Hehe, Yoo Daehyeop. It must be nice to have someone like this teacher. Teacher, please stay at Cheongeommun for a long time. We too can benefit from Cheongeommun and this teacher.”
In the case of Taepyeongsangbang, which had to travel up and down the country, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Lee Cheol-san was a treasure. Just knowing him would make it impossible for thieves to do whatever they want.
“Haha, yeah.”
Lee Cheol-san smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
I thought I might get kicked out, but I don’t know what kind of windfall this is.
At that place, Taepyeongsangbang and Cheongeommun signed a contract.
After dinner, Yu Jin-won, who was drinking tea with Yeon Hae-pyeong, started to talk quietly.
“This teacher.”
“yes.”
“I think it would be humane to express my gratitude to your brother-in-law… … .”
That’s what he says, but in reality he’s asking for an opening up.
Yeonhae-pyeong fanned the flames from the side.
“Hmm, hmm. That’s what a person should do. I too have received the grace of salvation, but if I just sit there, I feel like I’m sitting on a pincushion.”
Lee Cheol-san nodded.
I know that Yu Mun-ju was greedy, but it was also true that it was the right thing to do.
“Okay, I’ll go first and tell you.”
“I would really appreciate it if you could do that.”
Lee Cheol-san, who was pushed back by Yoo Jin-won and Yeon Hae-pyeong, went back to Yeon Jeok-ha’s seat.
“Brother, the Lord of the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Lord of the Taiping Shang Fang want to express their gratitude to you. What should I do?”
“What should I do? Bring them over. They are people you work with, so it wouldn’t hurt to say hello.”
“Yes, then I will bring you.”
Lee Cheol-san, who returned with a cheerful face, brought Yu Jin-won and Yeon Hae-pyeong with him.
Yeonjeokha, who had been sitting leisurely, suddenly got up.
“Brother, this is the great swordsman Yu Jin-won of the Cheon Geum Mun and the great swordsman Yeon Hae-pyeong of the Taepyeong Sang Bang.”
“This is Yoo Jin-won. I will never forget the grace you gave me today.”
“This is the Pacific Ocean’s Yeonhae-pyeong. Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you, General Patrol, I would have been in big trouble. Please come visit me anytime and I will repay your kindness.”
Yeonhae-pyeong looked at Yeonjeok-ha with burning eyes.
He was ready to throw his whole body into seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Wuxia,
