Episode 274 Yoran, I’m sorry.
Originally, I was not a person who became a madman by frequently taking elixirs.
My strength was always lacking.
Because there was a shortage from the beginning, there were no complaints about the shortage. If you are born poor, it is like not feeling much emotion about poverty. So, even though I was always less powerful than my opponent, I was always good at fighting.
In the early stages of his advancement to the top ranks, he mainly developed his skills by fighting against black sword masters, and when fighting white sword masters, he used the black sword methods he had learned at that time.
There was nothing I could do because I lacked internal strength.
The reason he ran away when fighting the Butcher and ran away while carrying an open ark was also a habit.
I guess that’s the method I chose because I was always the one running away.
What happens if I later overwhelm my opponent with my strength?
I don’t know.
Because it has never been like that.
Probably invincible?
Although I already had Heavenly Jade in my dantian, that didn’t mean I could become invincible overnight. This is because there are not many things in life that are inherently lucky.
However, if I find an elixir like Yue Dan Flower in Manjang, it will be my luck. This is because Woldanhwa is difficult to transport, so it is better to eat it myself.
Of course, hemp or oil-type elixirs could be stored and transported, so Mo Yong-baek and Yo-ran would drink them.
Because the destination was quite far away, my thoughts continued to grow even as I ran.
After running for five hours without stopping, I looked around the downtown area with a tired look.
From the beginning, I was planning to invest as much money as I could, so I bought a flower-patterned white coat to wear in the chilly weather, changed my shabby shoes, and bought a flower hat.
By the way, is floral patterned jangsam trendy again these days?
Trends come and go, and since I tend to change, I have adapted well to them.
For a moment, I wondered whether I should go into a shabby guesthouse or a large guesthouse. Since I only planned to eat once a day, I chose an accommodation that seemed a bit expensive.
Hwanghak Guest Cup.
Unusually, there was a warning sign posted at the entrance. Hwanghak Guest House was a guest house under a contract with Mansangmun (萬象門), and a short text warned that if trouble was caused, a dispute would arise with Mansangmun.
It’s an atmosphere where I don’t have to cause unnecessary accidents.
“I rather like it.”
There would be no trouble for the black swordsmen to make a fuss in the bases protected by the clan.
After entering Hwanghak Guesthouse, I looked at various things as the owner of a restaurant in the same industry. After finding the smallest room, I went out to eat like a hillbilly, carrying my luggage. Even though it was a bowl that did not contain any elixir, it contained enough money to last a year even in such an expensive guesthouse, so it could not be left in an empty room.
There were over thirty tables, but there were no more than ten people eating. I took a seat near a quiet window and ordered three dishes from Jeomsoy.
“Do you also drink alcohol?”
I shook my head in response to Jeomsoy’s question.
When you’re drunk, your starting speed becomes slower and your attack speed becomes slower. After filling my stomach and taking a short nap, I planned to wake up and run again, whether it was late at night or early in the morning.
Jeomsoy asked as if confirming.
“Do you pay the bill when you leave?”
I looked at Jeomsoy’s expression and nodded.
“All right.”
While waiting for the food to be served, I looked outside the guesthouse. Ordinary people were so busy working that they never looked at this floor of the guesthouse, but occasionally, people who passed by would look at where I was. It wasn’t good to have a pointless eyeball fight with Kang Ho-in, so every time we made eye contact, I nodded slightly first.
I kept drilling into myself that I was a herbalist.
It was a relatively peaceful neighborhood.
Just when I thought the dish would be served a little late, the Tangchoricheok Bongbonggye Chocho (炒飯 fried rice) came out. Of course, bonbon chicken is a chicken dish, but I don’t know how to make it. I only know that they cook it by slaughtering a rooster that has been fed alcohol, but the meat was much more tender than Tangchoricheok. The reason why the name of the dish includes bong (棒), which is also used as a weapon, is probably because the drunken chickens were beaten with a baton.
I had no intention of drinking until I ate the chocho and bonbongye, but when the tangchoricheok came in, I couldn’t help but sigh. But when I thought of Yoran at Jaha’s cup, I couldn’t drink.
I was eating as much as possible without looking at the people in the room, when someone nearby asked me.
“Are you traveling?”
I chewed the first part and then shook my head. After placing the chicken meat on top of the first bite, I took another big bite and continued to ask questions.
“then?”
“I’m a herbalist.”
“Ah…which mountain are we going to? The herbalist said he was using flower-patterned ginseng. “It’s rare.”
Only then did I look the man up and down.
He was a robber.
There was no reason to tell me the destination, so I answered roughly.
“Here and there. “This mountain and that mountain.”
The man was looking at me blankly, so I looked at him while eating. Do I look like such a hillbilly? Or do you seem like a person who would eat without a fight? Or maybe I was just interested because he seemed like a strong person?
He was a strong warrior whose level was far different from mine, so he was an ordinary warrior who didn’t seem to have the insight to properly evaluate my skills.
The food didn’t taste bad, so I cleaned the bowl and looked out the window. As I was looking outside, this man slightly crossed the line.
“Is there anything fun out there?”
I rinsed my mouth with tea water and looked at the man.
“I’m not looking because there’s something interesting outside. I just stared. People passing by. I don’t know what you’re so curious about, but come here and ask everything. “I’ll talk to you.”
“Is that so?”
A man came carrying a bottle of alcohol and sat down across from me. The man held out a bottle of liquor and I shook my head.
“It’s okay.”
“He’s a very upright young man who doesn’t even drink alcohol. “You seem to be not a herbalist but a disciple of a country military officer. Where are you from?”
“Baek Eungji.”
“You weren’t from the countryside. Aren’t there a lot of military officers there?”
“No worries.”
“Did you learn how to use a sword?”
“It’s been over a year.”
When I answered roughly, the man laughed.
“A young man who studied swordsmanship at Oryo Military Academy for a year ordered and ate three dishes at Hwanghak Gaekjan, so his family must be rich. Or maybe you took advantage of the herbs.”
“I haven’t gotten it yet.”
I called out to a passing Jumsoi and then pointed to the person in front of me.
“Do you know someone?”
Jeomsoi watched and answered.
“This is Mansangmun’s Yanghaejo unmanned. Since we are cooperating with Mansangmun, they often come as guests. “Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“There is none.”
The man in front said.
“They say it’s called Yanghaejo. “What about you?”
“Cha Seong-tae. “Do you have any more questions?”
“You’re so harsh. “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”
I felt a little uncomfortable in no time, but I calmly returned to my room and lay down. Even though I only had a short conversation with Kang Ho-in, it was uncomfortable to sleep.
“Oh, damn it.”
I have never heard anything about Mansangmun. This is because the world is so vast and just reciting the name of Bangpa would take half a day.
took a nap
After two short breaks, I finally got up in the middle of the night, packed my bags, and went downstairs to call Jeomsoi to pay the bill.
Jeomsoy said to me while reading what he wrote down.
“…Are you leaving right away? “It’s two hermitages, including cooking and lodging.”
I stopped while trying to take out my bag.
“what?”
“Didn’t you check the price when you came in?”
When I looked at the place where Jeomsoy extended his hand, I saw a fee list that I couldn’t check stuck to the table.
“That’s a huge rip-off.”
I couldn’t help but sigh, but with the intention of not causing trouble, I held out two silver coins.
“Please find me again.”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to come again because it’s expensive.”
“yes.”
As I was going outside, I heard urgent footsteps coming down the stairs behind me.
When I looked back, it had become quiet again.
After tying the knot of my bag tightly, I walked three or four steps and stopped. I turned around for a moment and looked at Hwanghak Gaekjan.
I imagined the Gwangma from my previous life going back into the Hwanghak Guest Cup, smashing it here and there, then finding the man who had bothered to talk to him and slapping him on the face.
‘There really is no such thing as crazy.’
I think I did a lot of bad things in my past life.
Actually, I still wanted to do something naughty, but I held back, thinking that this was all experience. This is because I kept thinking of the small hand wrapping around my fist.
As I was leaving after watching the nightlife of the downtown area, people coming out of the alley naturally followed me.
As I increased my speed at a brisk pace, they followed me at a brisk pace from behind. The number quickly grew to about a dozen, and a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks.
“Stop.”
It was the guy in the guest house. I spewed out meaningless words to the guy who harassed me with annoying words and followed me here.
“We’ll see.”
They say there’s no such thing as a scary guy, but I’m different.
“hey!”
I immediately thought of Yoran and then left this place. As I opened my eyes, the beggars moved further and further away. Because they were idiots, it was impossible for them to chase me. He probably thought that a lot of money was spent on Botjim.
Then, Mansangmun is a black path.
Since I remembered it, I planned to stamp my foot again someday.
* * *
I resisted the temptation of Gwangma several times in my past life…
and finally changed my job to a good herbalist.
In the end, we arrived at Manjaeung without any incidents, accidents, assaults, uproar, or hell, and looked around the place that was surrounded by the demonic cult.
Laughter came out again.
This is because the leader of the chase team is in Jaha Gaekjan. Now that I have prevented the slut from doing his slutty deeds and twisted his destiny to commit himself to a demonic cult, the fight we had on the cliff ended up being my victory.
Standing alone on the edge of a cliff and giggling, I couldn’t have been more crazy.
“How do I get down?”
There was no particular way.
I was worried when I climbed up because I was looking at a cliff so dark that I couldn’t see the bottom. However, it was not deep enough to be solved with a rope or something, so I jumped down to the bottom.
It wasn’t until I was in the air…
that I regretted jumping to a place where I could see the water.
“Damn it…”
However, my inner strength was already at a level that far exceeded the weight of my body, so I wasn’t particularly worried.
How long will it fall?
As soon as I saw the floor, I unleashed the tension of the Daesuin and spun around in the aftermath. It twisted its body and quickly spun around three or four times, then changed direction due to tension, kicked the nearby wall, bounced back loudly, and landed on the floor.
Eight out of ten.
Suddenly I looked up into the sky.
“….”
I thought of the believers who turned into dots and fell. How scary must the leader have been to throw himself off a cliff at just one command? Or did the bastard deliberately give the order to kill his subordinates?
I waited for an unidentified man to appear in the sky, just in case, but the same thing did not happen. I looked around for a moment and thought about where I could climb.
As I looked up like this, I felt fortunate that I had not come with the Four Major Villains.
So, this cliff was at a height that even a sword demon could not climb up easily.
What does that mean? It is said that among the four great evildoers, Gyeonggong is the best.
A cliff this steep cannot be climbed comfortably unless you are a member of the Jeunjong clan.
Even though it was still bright daylight, the air was quite cool below the 10,000-man barrier. I pulled out my wooden sword and checked the surroundings while cutting away the tree branches that were in the way.
Mo Yongbaek said… that
in places with limited sunlight, there is a high probability that there will be elixirs containing negative energy. However, there is no way an elixir like perennial snow ginseng would appear in a place like this.
The elixir that can be obtained from such a deep place is…
empty blue stone oil or natural liquor fruit.
I searched the southern bottom of the Manjae River for an hour, but I could not find any poisonous plants, let alone elixirs. It was a bit surprising that I couldn’t even see a single root of the plant.
It felt as if someone had gone there first.
I returned to where I had landed and looked to the north of Manjae, and something suddenly occurred to me, so I looked up at the sky.
Geommyeong Bridge (劍鳴橋) was not visible.
The only bridge that can cross all obstacles is Geommyeong Bridge, but in fact, I have never seen a healthy Geommyeong Bridge. All I heard was that Baekdo and Mado had a one-on-one fight on the dangerous Geommyeong Bridge and the bridge was cut off.
As I was heading north, I found what looked like a shabby rope hanging limply from the cliff. On the other side, part of the same rope was broken and touching the cliff.
After wandering through the grass for a while, we arrived at the bottom of Geommyeong Bridge and unexpectedly came across a wide open space.
The atmosphere in the vacant lot was strange. It is not a pristine natural place, but rather an empty space that has been touched by human hands. In other words, it felt like someone had deliberately created a wide open space.
I looked up into the sky, checked the face of the cliff, and again watched the wide open space, and came to this conclusion.
After those who fought on the bridge fell here…
I guess they fought again.
Then there weren’t really any crazy people. According to the rumor, this means that a magic swordsman and a white swordsman fought in this vacant lot.
Although I couldn’t expect much from the elixir, I had a feeling that the old master’s white bones were out there somewhere. To be honest, I came all the way down here and the desire to grab something and go up was growing.
If I didn’t get anything…
I was planning on hitting the cliff with the Sun and Moon Light Spring to get rid of all obstacles.
As we looked to the north, Ha Hao finally appeared. After digging it up, we checked the roots. It was at least 100 years old. Because it was below 10,000 obstacles, a hundred years did not feel that long. After putting Ha-su-o in the box taken out of the luggage, we continued heading north.
After a while, I took the hawthorn out of the box, shook off the dirt, and ate it. This is because the further north one goes, the older the sewage pits can be dug. So, I had no choice because it was too much to take with me in my luggage. It was a situation where only Haowoo, the oldest product, had to be taken care of.
Mo Yong-baek got it right.
As I headed north, cutting away dense weeds and tree branches with a flashing dagger, I saw a small lake. It was small enough to be called a lake, but much larger than a pond, but the water was so clear that you could see fish swimming around even from a distance, and there was a flat swamp surrounding it where no one could see any foot traffic. I feel sorry for the fish, but it seemed more valuable than most elixirs.
I crossed my arms and admired the surrounding scenery for a moment.
Is this why people often get stuck in deep mountains and valleys when they retire and never come out? It was the perfect place to hide out.
As I was quietly admiring the scenery, something stirred in the swamp and I looked and saw that a freshwater crab was moving around. Following the movement of the freshwater crab, I looked across the swamp and saw the beautiful roses blooming in the crevices of rocks lying in a place covered with a lot of mud. The figure was visible.
Manjaejan was holding Woldanhwa?
I had no choice but to abandon my desire to eliminate all disabilities.
Then, I think of the protector of all things, the leader in protecting nature, the greatest beneficiary of mountains, rivers, and vegetation, the revolutionary at the edge of the cliff, the man on the cliff, the selfish man who ran hard to drink the elixir alone. I became a patient who took the elixir.
I looked at Woldanhwa with my arms crossed and calmly accepted this inevitable situation.
“…I rather like it.”
