Episode 162. It’s called Gosan Yusu (High Mountain Flowing Water).
In that moment, Donghosuchae Chaeju Talmyeonghyeoljang Oh Jinwoong’s face hardened.
I wondered why he was running wild like that, and it seemed like he was doing it on the orders of the commander-in-chief.
Suddenly, the words floating around among the merchants in Dongho flashed through my mind.
‘Hold on, I heard that Yeon-ssi of Waryongjang killed Sipduma-byeong in Namyangsangbang.’
Nanyang and Muhan are close enough that it takes less than a month to travel back and forth. Naturally, the strange events that occurred in Nanyang were known to Dongho.
“Is the general patrol from Waryongjang?”
“how did you know?”
Yeonjeokha, who was about to use his sword, saw him.
Because I was wondering if the ten horse soldiers might have some kind of connection with Waryongjang.
Oh Jin-woong’s heart sank at Yeon-jeok-ha’s answer.
‘Oh my god!’
I had a hunch, and it was as expected.
If Yeon-ssi, who killed the ten horse soldiers in Namyangsangbang, is the general patrolman, then we must consider that there is no hope.
He’s a better player than me. I got the feeling when we were fighting a little while ago.
I tried to hit it with my bare hands, but the rebound was so strong that it was burdensome.
I can’t understand it, but that kid’s internal energy is superior to that of the ten-headed horseman himself.
‘When it rains, it’s best to take shelter for a while.’
Rather than fight back, Oh Jin-woong decided to somehow escape. However, with water all around, that wasn’t an easy task.
He looked around casually.
Since the opponent is the General Patrol, I can no longer expect cooperation from my subordinates. I must overcome this crisis entirely on my own.
As Oh Jin-woong was desperately racking his brain, Namgung Yeon came into view. She was a beautiful woman, but it seemed like she needed to be used for something else right now.
At that time, Yeonjeokha said as if joking.
“If you don’t answer, I’ll just go in. I hope you achieve Buddhahood or something.”
As soon as Yeonjeokha finished speaking, Oh Jinwoong took something out of his bosom and threw it on the floor.
Phew-.
White smoke spread across the deck.
When smoke rose on an already dark night, it was impossible to see ahead for a moment.
He swung his sword with a bang, and the sound of a bang came.
“Is it poison!”
The tip of the sword caught something slightly, but the opponent escaped.
Yeonjeok, who had retrieved the sword, quickly unleashed the Nine Heavenly Laws Three-Style Unryongpungho.
Kwakwakwakwa-.
A gust of wind swept across the deck.
Meanwhile, in the thick smoke, Hwayongdoksim Namgungyeon sensed something suspicious.
“Is it poison!” Yeonjeokha’s shout was heard from ahead.
If so, then this sinister energy must be Oh Jin-woong.
‘Are you after me?’
It may sound ridiculous, but in a way, it’s the best option in this situation.
Namgung Yeon waited with his hands hanging down.
Then, through the smoke, the thin and strong face of Oh Jin-woong appeared.
A smile appeared on Oh Jin-woong’s lips as he discovered Namgung Yeon.
It would have been difficult if he had moved in the smoke, but fortunately he seemed to have stood still.
Oh Jin-woong extended his hook-like hand to the woman.
It is the climax of the wedding banquet.
For a moment, Namgung Yeon’s delicate and delicate hands came to mind.
Soon, Namgung Yeon and Oh Jinwoong’s hands met in the middle.
Papapapat.
Oh Jin-woong’s fingers flicked away repeatedly without even getting near Namgung Yeon.
‘What the heck? This bitch?’
Oh Jin-woong frowned.
The wedding gift of one’s own is a seasonal event, and even the most skilled people are helpless against it.
But you can’t get through a woman’s small hand?
At that moment, the Yunlongpungho of Yeonjeokha swept across the deck.
As the smoke cleared, the scene on deck became clearly visible.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who saw Oh Jin-woong and Namgung Yeon fighting late, screamed.
“This old man! How dare you!”
It was when Yeonjeok-ha, who was filled with anger, took a rough step forward.
Jinwoong Oh’s hands and feet became disheveled as he panicked in a situation where the fight was not going as planned.
There is no way a master of the highest caliber like Namgung Yeon would let such an opportunity go to waste.
Namgung Yeon, who avoided Oh Jin-woong’s hand, used the Geongon Mujongbo to turn to the side like a ghost.
When the opponent he was fighting disappeared like a goblin, Oh Jin-woong quickly looked left and right.
Just then a gust of wind blew into my face.
Urrrr.
It was the Namgung Se-ga’s secret weapon, the Thunderbolt, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder.
“omg!”
A young woman in her twenties is called Jangpung?
Jinwoong Oh, who was taken aback, immediately raised his power and struck back at the Talmyeonggu Stadium.
Kwang.
Namgung Yeon took three steps back in shock, but Oh Jin-woong also took one step back.
“You, who are you!”
Oh Jin-woong looked at Namgung Yeon with astonished eyes.
Jangpung is amazing, but it’s hard to believe that he’s safe after being hit head-on by his own bludgeoning pitch.
Then Namgung Yeon pointed behind him with his finger.
Jinwoong Oh was startled and turned around without realizing it.
In an instant, the sword of the Yeonjeokha that had been lying on the floor shot up like lightning.
It was the Nine Thousand Years’ Law that made the dragon ascend to heaven.
Three strands of black energy arising from the sword covered Oh Jin-woong.
Jinwoong Oh had to receive the full force of the sword attack on his body without even having time to dodge.
Pufferpuck.
The sword energy that flew like an arrow pierced both shoulders and the philtrum.
“Ugh!”
A frustrated groan escaped Oh Jin-woong’s mouth.
The mouth of the debt collector, Hyeolbi, fell open in shock.
It all happened in an instant.
They were talking about the general debt collector and the ten horse soldiers, and then the debt collector died.
When the general patrol looked for Oh Jin-woong, they thought he was there to play with them.
However, the general patrol killed Oh Jin-woong with one stroke of the sword.
‘Surely it wasn’t because of the gisaeng. Was it really because of the ten-headed horse that he was killed?’
When he was standing there blankly thinking about Chae-ju’s death.
Yeonjeokha gestured to the people around him to stay away.
Jeong Sang-baek felt uneasy, but he backed away as he was told.
When a person dies like this, you should say, “I am dead,” and follow the other person’s wishes.
Splash splash. Splash splash.
Oh Jin-woong’s corpse was twisted here and there and let out a scream.
Because it was a quiet night by the lake, the sound of bones breaking could be heard vividly.
After a while, a familiar monster appeared on the deck.
A huge body, bat wings, and ivory-like teeth on either side of its protruding mouth.
It was a dragon.
As the dragon opened its mouth wide, smoke flowed out from its throat.
“Kyaaaaah!”
People on deck fell down one by one at the sound of thunder.
Only Yeon Jeok-ha, Namgung Yeon, Namgung Cheon, and Sim Tong, who had been prepared in advance, were standing still.
In the case of Seol Cha-su and his party, even though they knew about it, they had no way to prepare for it, so they were helpless.
Unlike before, this time the distance was close, so the faces were quite shocked.
The dragon’s red eyes turned towards Yeonjeokha.
Then it flapped its wings like a bat’s and opened its mouth again.
Whoosh whoosh.
The unquenchable flames of hell surged toward Yeonjeokha.
As if he had been waiting for the enemy, he performed the Gucheon Gugeom Samsik Pungcheon Sochuk (風天小畜).
The wind piled up at the tip of the sword.
Wheezing. Kwakwakwakwa-.
As he swung his sword with all his might, a huge typhoon swept straight at him.
The sword wind of the nine heavens and nine swords and the terrors of hell met.
Kukuku.
Sparks flew in all directions from the clash of flames and sword wind.
Hurrruk. Hurrruk.
When the deck caught fire, the sailors quickly sprinkled water on it.
But the water soon turned into steam and disappeared with a ‘sizzle!’ sound.
The fire spread as if oil had been poured on it.
Eventually, the sailors gave up on putting out the fire and had to run around.
The dragon’s wings flapped more violently as if it was about to fly up.
“No way!”
Yeonjeokha quickly unleashed the Gucheongugeom Sasik Hyeonnyeo Gangwoo along with a shout.
Black smoke poured down from the sky like hail.
Puppupupupupuk-.
With hundreds of holes in its wings, the dragon was unable to fly at all.
The angry dragon opened its mouth again.
Whoosh whoosh.
After dodging the enemy by jumping up, he flew towards the demon dragon using the Nine Dragons’ technique.
The dragon breathed flames into the sky several times.
However, I was unable to hit the spinning arrow that was spinning sideways.
The fireball finally reached the dragon’s head and fell in a straight line.
Kwajik!
The virtuous woman descended into the dragon’s crown.
“Kkaaaah!”
The demon dragon, writhing in pain, soon turned into dust and scattered.
He frowned as he looked at the burning ship that had crashed onto the deck.
That fire will not go out until this ship is completely burned.
The fire had already taken over half of the deck.
As the Yeonjeokha fell to the deck, Jeong Sangbaek ran and bowed his head.
“Patrol Chief! The fire is not being put out. I think you should go back to the ship you came on.”
“Can we fit everyone on this boat?”
“Yes, that’s enough. Anyway, Chae-ju Oh doesn’t invite many people to her place.”
Yeonjeokha nodded and started walking.
Jeong Sang-baek, who had been carefully following Yeon-jeok-ha, asked.
“Um, but Chief Patrolman.”
“why.”
“What on earth was that thing that came out of Oh Chae-ju’s body earlier? It was spitting fire out of its mouth and all.”
“People called him a dragon.”
“Ma-ryong-yo? Why is that in Oh Chae-ju’s body… … .”
“Well, why did it come out of Oh Chae-ju’s body? I want to know that too.”
I knew that when a Yeonjeokha-do Ten-Du-Ma-Byeong died, he would turn into a monster, but I didn’t know why.
“So, has that dragon been imitating Oh Chae-ju all this time?”
“Ma-ryong imitated Oh Chae-ju? That’s a funny idea. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Jeong Sang-baek burst into laughter at Yeon-jeok-ha’s words.
I got praised by someone higher up, so I guess today’s weather wasn’t all that bad.
A huge ship engulfed in flames illuminated the East Lake.
When the group of Yeon-jeok-ha, who had transferred to another ship, came out onto the deck and looked at the burning ship.
Eunwol approached quietly and bowed deeply to Yeonjeokha.
“Your Majesty, my name is Eunwol. Thank you for saving me from Chaeju.”
“Who? Could it be me?”
Yeonjeokha pointed to my face with her index finger.
It’s true that I fought with Oh Jin-woong today, but I don’t remember saving anyone.
Eunwol said with a bashful smile.
“Yes, I was almost raped by Chaeju, but Confucius saved me at that moment. If you tell me the name of Eun-gong, I will keep it in my heart for the rest of my life.”
“Hey, you don’t have to do that.”
Yeonjeokha waved his hand and declined, but Eunwol did not get up from her seat.
Then, Gucheonnodo Simtong, who was standing next to him, stepped forward instead.
“Oh! Did you say Eunwol?”
“yes.”
“Our Confucius’s name is Yeonjeok. Don’t just say thank you, but try to get some gold. Our Confucius hates people who just take it for free and eat it.”
“Oh, yes… … .”
Eunwol straightened her posture and placed Geum on her lap.
“Old Man Shim, what nonsense are you talking about? If you want to hear it, just ask. Why are you selling me out when I’m just sitting here?”
“Selling it? Since Confucius kept looking at the gold, I decided to step in his place.”
Eunwol, who was listening to the conversation between the two, opened her mouth with a slight smile.
“When I see you two, this song comes to mind. It’s called “High Mountains and Flowing Water.”
Soon, Eunwol began to stroke the gold with her long, thin fingers.
Ding dong ding ding tiing-.
A clear and beautiful sound spread across the lakeside.
It combined with the lights created by the burning ship to create a strange sensation.
Yeonjeokha, who had been grumbling, shut his mouth tightly and became absorbed in Eunwol’s performance.
Namgung Yeon looked at Eunwol with indifferent eyes.
Gosanyusu means ‘friends who understand each other well’ or ‘a close relationship.’
Could this be said with the relationship between Yeonjeokha and Simtong in mind?
Or is it her feelings for Yeonjeokha?
He may be a person destined to fall in love with a gisaeng like Eunwol.
When I thought about that, the sound of the chil-hyeon-geum seemed unusual.
Wuxia,
