Chapter 241
Seongra Daeyeon (星羅大宴).
The world’s best masters gather in one place to compete in martial arts, so the name Banquet of Stars is apt.
“It can also be called a celebration of victory.”
It was a large inn located in southern Henan Province.
A voice asked among the people who filled the old man’s surroundings.
“Why is that?”
“How come. If the midfield Murim had been defeated, would there have been a Seongra Grand Banquet?
“Ah, that is also true.”
“But since we won, wouldn’t it be possible for the Seongradae year to be held like this, and the world’s leading literary factions to gather in one place and strengthen their spirits? by the way… … The old man, who had been groping, waved his pipe.
“Who has no fire?”
A middle-aged man next to him quickly took out a flint and lit it.
Tak, Tak! Chi profit.
The old man opened his mouth with the sound of burning grass. After blowing out a few puffs of smoke, he leaned back in his chair.
“If you have any questions, ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything the old lady knows.”
The people whose eyes were shining brightly raised their hands in a scramble.
I am! May I ask you first?”
“Daegyeop Song, then maybe… … “
“Hey, didn’t you hear what I said first?”
“I didn’t hear. You bastard bastard!”
puck! Udang-tang-tang!
In an instant, fists come and go and the table breaks. The onlookers cheered at the sudden fight.
The guests who had been far away from the beginning shook their heads.
“Tsk tsk. What are the Murim people?”
“It’s to be expected. It’s not like I’ve seen it once or twice, so what?”
“It’s a problem because there’s no time to be quiet. Seongra Daeyeon is just around the corner, so even the stars of the stars are flocking to Hanam.”
“It seems that the trip to the top is over anyway, it will be enough for us to watch an exorcism and eat rice cakes.”
The two merchants, dressed in luxurious-looking blue silk clothes, having a casual conversation, were exchanging drinks when a voice suddenly interrupted.
“Is that liquor girl, right?”
”yes?”
The merchants looked at the owner of the voice with puzzled expressions.
Next to the table, a young man who hadn’t known when he had arrived was staring at the glass they were holding, snoring.
“Aren’t you a girl? I guess you’re right… … “
“No, that’s right. Girl Hong.”
“also. I knew that.”
As if he had attained a great realization, the young man who hit his knee pulled an empty chair.
“But the color looks a bit muted. How much did you pay for a bottle of this?”
Merchants looked at each other with bewildered faces at the natural behavior like flowing water.
“Eh, how much was this?”
“Ugh, two hermits.”
The young man sighed.
“Huh. Too bad.”
“Are you sorry? What do you mean?”
“This is mixed with water. Can’t you see it? Looks like the host was playing a bit of a joke.”
“What?”
Merchants widened their eyes. Is Yea Hong usually an expensive drink?
Two hermits is enough money to buy two islands of rice and drink wine like water for several months. Mixing it with water is just disgusting.
“I just… … “
A colleague stopped the merchant who was about to stand up.
“Quit. There’s nothing good about making noise. We’re having a little fun at a time like this, aren’t we the same?”
“Okay.”
The merchant groaned and sat down on the road.
In the meantime, the young man was drinking red wine from his glass.
Gulp, gulp, tuck!
“It’s great.”
The merchants, who had been staring blankly at it, came to their senses one beat later.
“What is this?”
“That’s our drink… … “
“I just drank a glass because my throat was sore. Do you have any problem?”
The two of them were at a loss for words at such a confident answer, and only spoke after the young man emptied the third glass clean.
“Are you familiar with us?”
“Of course.”
“when? where?”
“Here today.”
“……”
“It’s said that even a casual touch of the collar is meant to be, but let’s be friends from today.”
“friend?”
The merchants glared at the young man with bewildered eyes.
The impression that is soft on a slender body. He’s a pale young guy who’s probably in his mid-twenties at most.
A friend is a friend who will freeze to death.
Just when he was about to shout, an iron sword stuck in the young man’s waist caught his eye.
‘The Murim people!’
Since ancient times, it has been said that there is a difference between a Muroebae and a Murimin.
In a situation where he was separated from the upper rank warriors, it would be an unconditional loss if there was a dispute.
The merchants swallowed the screams that were about to come out.
“Look, little brother.”
“Little brother, I really like that title.”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
For some reason, I felt composure from the grinning young man. A forced smile appeared on the merchants’ faces.
“Are the little ones unmanned?”
“hmm. I did learn how to catch, which is called martial arts.”
what? Learn to catch what is called martial arts?
I heard that the young guy was already showing off his appearance. The merchants opened their mouths, cursing the young man in their hearts.
“I guess you were Kang-ho’s equal. Excuse me, but may I ask which sect you are a disciple of?”
“What does that matter? between friends.”
The merchants revealed their identities to the young man who evaded answering stupidly.
“We are merchants affiliated with the Geumwa Sangdan.”
“Geumwa Sangdan?”
“I’m not proud of it, but it’s one of the top three in Zhejiang Province. They have come a long way to deliver what is needed for the Seongra Daeyeon held after four halls.”
The merchant who was nodding at the side also helped out.
“I brought a hundred warriors from the upper ranks.”
“They are brave warriors like tigers.”
We are not alone. It contained an unspoken threat to get out of the way before getting scolded, but the young man didn’t care.
No, to be precise, I was listening to their words with one ear and spilling them out because I was immersed in some thoughts.
“Geumwa Sangdan… that’s the name I heard this morning.”
The young man, who had been thinking deeply, let out an exclamation.
“Isn’t it there? He said he caught hundreds of bandits.”
“Right.”
The merchant, who answered with his chest stretched out, added a word in a mumbling voice.
“To be precise, I didn’t catch it, I picked it up.”
“You picked it up. What do you mean?”
When the young man showed interest, the merchants silenced their voices.
It was because he was more concerned about the things he had experienced before than the blue guy in front of him.
“Well, in the alley through which the corps passes, there must be a bunch of bandits all groaning because their legs are broken. It turns out that there are black mountain gnomes nearby who have a bad name.”
“The boss, Jeoksalbu (赤殺斧) Black Jong-pil, has become a headless corpse.”
“Ohh.”
The young man rubbed his smooth, hairless chin.
“So what did you do?”
“How do you do it? It’s like killing a hermit on the street, so I tied them all up.”
In the end, the Geumwa Sangdan handed over the remnants of the Black Mountain Chae to the government office for a huge bounty, and rumors about it spread quickly.
“There are so many things to say. That he touched a hermit master, that a war broke out among the living… … “
“Perhaps the hermit master is right. How common are people who can kill an elite enemy killer in one blow?”
The young man listened to them quietly and asked with an excited face.
“A peak master in one blow?”
The two merchants nodded their heads together.
“exactly. Small jets are unmanned, so you know how great it is.”
“What did they say, the henchmen said they were wearing piles of metal. It was so deep in the night that I couldn’t see his face properly, and after a flash, they said that the killing squad collapsed.”
“hmm.”
The young man, who had been silent for a while, suddenly opened his mouth.
“That hermit master must be much smarter than I thought.”
“Huh, do you have any guesses?”
“Roughly. Perhaps her appearance is shabby and her hair is scattered.”
“Oh oh! Who is that master?”
“But I don’t know the name.”
“……?”
“Well, from now on, you can get to know me step by step. You drank well.”
It was an instant.
The young man, who threw out a word, got up from his seat and disappeared among the crowded crowd.
Soon the door of the inn closed with the sound of a rattle.
“What did you just do?”
“Are you gone? Did you drink only the girl’s red holly?”
“As a friend. Niimi.”
It was then that the two merchants looked at each other with bewildered faces.
“Hey, guests.”
“Something?”
Jeom So-yi, who had a strong body, held out a wooden board with a blunt face.
The scars on his face made him suspect that he was a black swordsman as a side job.
No, a face like this is almost certain.
“The person who just left didn’t pay the bill. I heard it just now, so it sounds like you’re a friend.”
“uh?”
“Two roast ducks, five bottles of girl hong. A total of 10 hermits and 20 iron battles.”
“……!”
The mouths of the merchants who had been stabbed in the back of the head fell open.
‘A case like this dog.’
‘You said you drank five bottles of red wine?’
But is there any star? It is said that if you look at one, you know ten, and looking at Jeomsoi’s face, it was clear that the business was managed by the black sword school.
It was the moment when the tear-stained merchants were rummaging through their pockets to pay the price.
“I pay for that money.”
Knock, knock.
A bag of silk flew out of nowhere and landed on the table.
The people inside the guesthouse became quiet before they knew it. I saw an old man limping through the crowd.
another angle, another angle. The sound of the wooden prosthetic foot hitting the floor pierced everyone’s ears.
“Twenty hermits. Pay for it and get me a quiet room.”
Jeom So-yi, who alternately looked at the silk pouch and the old man, bowed his head respectfully. It was because they already knew the other person’s identity.
“yes. Great Song.”
“Okay, then one thing is solved.”
The old man wrapped his rough hand around the shoulders of the two merchants.
A force so strong that it was hard to believe that he was seventy years old grabbed the two and pulled them up.
“You two should talk to me about that friend who just left.”
“Why, why are you doing this?”
“We have no relationship!”
The old man smiled broadly at the two almost weeping merchants. However, the deeply sunken eyes could not be hidden.
“Heh heh, isn’t that a matter for this old man to decide?”
Merchants gasped at the words of Song-ho, a thousand-myeonhori.
As if to let them know that the Seongra Daeyeon was approaching, the entire streets of Henam-do and even the guesthouses were filled with people.
The problem is that thanks to that, I don’t even have an inn to stay.
“There is no room.”
It has already been rejected by more than twenty guesthouses.
With nowhere to retreat and no reason to retreat, I glared at Jeomsoi and asked.
“Isn’t that really the case?”
“Because there really isn’t.”
“I have that money.”
I took out a hermit that was dirty and showed it to me. This is my entire possession and my last hope.
I wouldn’t have even this if I hadn’t secretly hidden it in advance.
It was because Jeokcheongang jumped out with the entire anterior chamber.
‘He’s a sick old man.’
Jeok Cheon-gang, who was bathed in salt by Jeom So-yi in the first inn, found a peaceful and awesome solution after struggling to decide which one to burn.
Name Chance, head of Shaolin Temple.
‘I’m going to Shaolin Temple.’
‘and. there was a way Was dementia perhaps the impetus for genius?’
‘Should I break your neck with that momentum?’
‘I’ve been speechless. Glad anyway. Let’s go to Medadak and take off some grime with hot water, and eat Shaolin Temple wild vegetable bibimbap.’
‘I’m going alone.’
‘yes?’
‘A year ago, thanks to the four guys turning their noses on going to Seongra Daeyeon, the old woman suffered beyond measure. Anyway, the screening will be held at the opening, so let’s not see each other until then.’
‘No, where is that!’
‘Oh, and give me the bag too.’
‘Why the anterior bag?’
‘The King of Fire has face, will you go eat and wash like a beggar? I have to donate at least a few pennies.’
‘Oh, and if you come to Shaolin Temple, you will die. Do you understand?’
He is not a fire king, but a sharp robber. strength of the day.
After waking up and taking my pouch, I wandered aimlessly in search of a nest.
And this was the last remaining inn in the neighborhood.
“This is a real hermit. Would you like to bite it?”
Jeom So-yi, who was big and bulky, wrinkled his face.
“… … Didn’t you just get it out of your underwear?”
“Oh, to hide it.”
I quickly rubbed the hermit with my sleeve and held it out again.
“Will you bite?”
“f*ck off! This beggar is a baby! ”
Sibeol bastard… … .
I was about to give him a shot in the face, but he powerlessly turned around.
I could see the children huddled together near the inn playing with stones.
“Guys, is anyone running a guest house?”
The children, whose breasts were pulsating, shook their heads.
“Oh no.”
“My house, I do, but it’s already full.”
“Oh, I see. I get it.”
“And, my mom says, don’t bring beggars like you.”
“……”
Look at what the young man is saying.
I wanted to storm into that bastard’s house right away and yell at him to get his home education straight, but I held back.
‘Where are we going now?’
It was a time when I was walking slowly through the streets, contemplating whether I should go to a nearby stream and wash myself.
“There, small group!”
I didn’t know at first. It was because my current appearance was too shabby to think that that cry was calling me.
Clothes that were no more than rags and hair that was scattered. Now I was a good example of a beggar.
At least, the iron ball escaped being held prisoner because the chain was wrapped around the body and covered with a cloth.
But who would call me a so-hyup?
“Me?”
When I turned around, I saw a young man with a sad expression smiling broadly.
“That’s right, you.”
