Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1406

Episode 1406. What does Wolah say?

The next morning.

Following the recommendation of Namgung Yeon who was married he visited the Namgung family.

The people of the Namgung family which had been daunted by the retirement of the King of Swords welcomed his successive visits.

Strength went into the shoulders of Namgung Sanho the commander-in-chief as he guided Namcheon Yeonjeokha to Eunwolgak and turned around.

‘If Yeon Jeok-ha had to come in and out of the Namgung family like before the Murim family would not be able to come out.’

Now it’s just a pity that foxes are busy reigning over the mountains where tigers have disappeared.

As Yeonjeokha took off his shoes and climbed onto the floor the door swung open.

“Are you here?”

Nangung Byeok’s voice was dull and weak.

Yeonjeokha seemed to understand why Namgungyeon said ‘Come visit me before you get too old.’

The wrinkles on his bloodless face made it impossible to think of him as the King of Swords.

He opened his mouth calmly.

“How have you been? “Yesterday I had a long conversation with my brother so I wasn’t able to visit him.”

“It’s done. Still he was grateful to have spent time with his new matriarch. “Please look at it often until the new head of the family takes over.”

“….”

Yeonjeokha did not reply.

If I go in and out of the Namgung family the southern alliance will definitely be upset but I don’t want to do that.

We had finally escaped the attention of the Confederacy but we could not fall into their swamp again.

When Namgung Byeok didn’t get the answer he wanted even after waiting he smiled bitterly and said

“I guess my greed was excessive. Don’t mind my request a moment ago. “If you can’t weather a storm like that you’re not even a man from the Nangong family.”

“You will do well brother.”

Yeon Jeok-ha’s expression and voice were calm.

The new head of the family Nam Gung-cheon will be checked by the Southern Alliance but that is all.

The power of the Namgung family is still strong and I am confident that I have crossed another bridge.

Apart from the fact that Nam Gung-cheon’s political power was weak there was no way he would be in danger.

Namgung Byeok who was looking at Yeon Jeok-ha with a blank expression on his face said.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

“yes.”

“What do you think happens when a person dies?”

“yes?”

Yeonjeokha asked back with a dumbfounded look at the unexpected question.

“I’m asking because you’ve been to Sanggye twice. When you die the wicked go to hell and the good go to heaven? “If you take refuge in Buddha or become a monk can you go to the upper world and live a new life?”

Namgung Byeok’s eyes which were dull like other old people burned hotly for an instant.

Yeonjeokha did not reply right away.

hell? Heavenly Palace? Offset?

I haven’t been to hell or the heavenly palace but I have seen the demon king and the humans who turned into monsters.

I have been to two Sanggye places.

In the past he would have answered ‘I don’t know’ but now he knows to some extent.

Hell and the heavenly realm are ultimately just different dimensions.

If you look closely at the thirty-six heavens of Buddhism it is a life similar to ours.

“My father-in-law.”

“Say it.”

“I have never been to hell or heaven. But while I was working in the commercial world I realized something.”

Nangong Byeok just listened in silence as if she didn’t want to miss a word.

“I believe that the thirty-six heavens and the upper realms of Buddhism are nothing more than a world in another dimension. “I’ve been to two places in the world where you can get there by taking the right path but the lives of the people there were not that different from this world.”

“You mean everyone is the same?”

“If there was anything else… it was the passage of time. “Some people were called gods because they could not die for a thousand years ten thousand years or forever.”

“Immortal… God. Yes that’s what I want to know. Isn’t that the ultimate wish of all humans? “All of that is not a concept of Buddhism or Taoism but a real world right?”

“It’s real… but I don’t see any difference from human life now. “Whether it was the lower world or the upper world the way people lived was the same.”

Even if we live for a thousand or ten thousand years human nature does not change.

That was Yeon Jeok-ha’s realization.

However the Namgung Wall was different.

“What is more important than never dying and becoming a god?”

“Father-in-law. As I said it’s just a matter of time given. Just because you have gone to the upper world does not mean you will live in eternal bliss. Rather we must live a life of eternal struggle. “A life of fighting hating slandering and stealing… that kind of life.”

“You may say that because you are still young and do not know the transience of life but… immortality is a bliss that cannot be compared to any other.”

“Considering the unchanging nature of man eternity is closer to a curse than a blessing.”

“Those are childish words from young people with bright futures. “Anyone who gets as old as me will become obsessed with immortality.”

“Old Shen is old but… he does not dream of immortality.”

“Hmm.”

Suddenly Nangong Byeok cleared his throat.

It is uncomfortable to compare oneself a great tycoon of a political faction with the heartache of a Green Forest thief.

Yeon Jeok-ha thought for a moment and asked.

“So what does your father-in-law want?”

“Is there a way for me to get to the upper world?”

“If you want that shouldn’t you take refuge in Buddhism or Taoism?”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if I died tomorrow… Now take refuge and attain enlightenment at some point in time. I am asking this because you freely enter and exit the upper world. In the past didn’t a famous religious leader send someone with a heartache to the ‘heaven of kings’? “What about you?”

“The famous cult leader was able to do that with the power of the Demon King but… it is impossible for me. Even I cannot go to the upper world without the help of the Creator God. and….”

“and?”

“With my father-in-law’s physical condition it is difficult for him to survive no matter which world he goes to.”

“You don’t have to worry about my body. “In the end you can’t do it.”

“yes.”

“At times like this it’s a pity that the famous religious leader died. “Hehe.”

“….”

Yeon-jeok-ha feeling frustrated secretly let out a long breath.

I can’t believe I regret the death of a famous religious leader.

I don’t know why my father and father-in-law only think about their bodies.

Namgung Byeok who was laughing helplessly suddenly said.

“I have a question.”

“Please speak.”

“Six years ago before going to the second commercial area you spoke as if you would help the South Confederacy. And I actually attended the Southern Alliance’s martial arts competition. But after that he suddenly changed his attitude and stopped walking. Why? “What made you change your mind?”

“Do you remember the day before the martial arts competition when Simtong beat up one of the musketeers?”

“Every time I remember.”

Nangung Byeok nodded his head.

How could he not know that Hwangryongbang was eliminated because of that incident?

“I was angry when I heard that I had asked Old Man Shim to apologize so I went to confront him… and overheard the conversation between my father-in-law and the Grand Master.”

“ah….”

A light sigh flowed from Nangungbyeok’s mouth.

I was shocked that I lost Yeonjeokha because of Hwangryongbang which only had a little mana.

“A few days later I spoke as if I was doubting the Namgung family’s chivalry… and my father-in-law said ‘Look at the forest not the trees.’”

“I didn’t know something like that happened. I and the Grand Musketeer thought it was simply your whim. “Because the heart of someone in their twenties is like a reed.”

“Unlike my father-in-law my sister said ‘Trees come together and become a forest.’ I also agree with what you said. From that day on I became distant from my father-in-law and the Confederacy.”

“I’m sorry to say this to Hwangryongbang but I don’t regret the decision I made that day.”

Yeonjeokha who was silent for a moment spoke.

“I don’t just look at trees. If my father-in-law was angry about what happened to my sister and got rid of Hwangryongbang… he would have remained in the Southern Alliance. But my father-in-law and the Grand Musketeer did not do that.”

“The Confederacy… was everything to me.”

“My sister and Jian are everything to me. “I heard that there were days when my father-in-law valued his family more than anything else.”

Namgung Byeok who had been frozen for a while at those words spoke in a low voice as if muttering.

“As Yeon’s father I am both embarrassed and grateful. “Please don’t change your mind.”

Eventually Namgung Byeok waved her hand with her tired face as if telling her to stop.

After giving a bow to Namgung Byeok who was a lover I went out.

Even after meeting Nangung Byeok her heart was still not refreshed.

It feels as if they only confirmed the differences in each other’s positions.

They say it’s hard to change an old man’s thoughts but he doesn’t back down even an inch until the end.

As Yeon Jeok-ha landed in the yard the Commander-in-Chief approached him at a trotting pace.

“The new head of the family is waiting for you in the main house.”

“I came to see my father-in-law today. Please tell my brother that I will say hello to him next time. “Okay then.”

Without listening to the commander-in-chief’s answer he leapt into the air and flew away in an instant.

Namgung Sanho muttered as he licked his lips with a regretful expression.

“Tsk it would have been nice if you could have met Cheon. “It’s like a sword that connects and cuts.”

If he were to join his rival he would command the world but I don’t know why he wants to live with the martial arts like that.

He shook his head and trudged towards the main house.

***

Yeoganghyeon Seokgyeongjang.

Around noon.

He walked towards Yeon Jeok-ha who had entered the gate with an arrogant frown on his face.

The atmosphere in the house seemed a bit chaotic and Yeon Jeok-ha who felt strange asked Shen-tong.

“what’s the matter? “What’s going on?”

“ha! really. “I don’t know what to say.”

“What is it? “Did you get scammed by a strange guy again?”

“It’s similar.”

“Is it similar? “What kind of guy is this?”

Yeon Jeok-ha who had suffered from heartache and fraud in the past was breathing heavily.

“An official from Chaoyang Sangbang sent a hawk. “You want your son to marry Wol-ah?”

“huh? Hawk? “It’s a scam?”

“It looks like Wolah got caught by some kind of top. “It’s clearly a scam.”

“Wait a minute so you’re saying that Wol-ah is dating a man and he is a hawk in that man’s family?”

“Yes.”

“What does Wolah say?”

“Does Yue’er’s words matter now? “You must be a fraud!”

Simtong raised his blood pressure and called out a fraudster.

“Oh really. “Stop talking nonsense and tell me how you met Wol-ah.”

“About a year ago when he was being robbed by thieves Wola who was passing by saved him. “It was said that we started dating because of that connection… He must have been planning to target Wol-ah.”

“Do you think everyone in the world is like old man Shim? So Wol-ah says she likes that guy?”

“….”

Shen Tong pursed his lips and did not reply.

“It looks like Wolah likes it.”

“You’re still young so as long as you’re struggling you think everything is fine. “I will take that twin bastard…”

“what? “Are you going to break my legs?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do. Bungeunchakgol… No wouldn’t it be possible for you Lord Jang to confirm it with your words? “What does young Wolah know?”

“You’re young you’re already twenty years old. Could it be that Old Man Shim is so distrustful of the insight of the disciple he raised? “If I use language with a man his family will be very pleased.”

“You can just do it without them knowing!”

“The person who suffered it knows.”

“That’s a crackdown….”

“Puck too. There are no secrets in the world. If the male family finds out later it will only be difficult for Wol-ah. “If there are no problems at home trust Wolah’s insight.”

“If you give Wolah a hard time I will break his head.”

“oh my! Stop talking nonsense. What about hawks?”

“I met the matriarch a little while ago and went back.”

“What did you say?”

“They said they were from a decent family… and they told me not to worry.”

“Even your sister said that so what are you worried about?”

“I recognize the matriarch’s abilities but I don’t trust a woman’s insight into men. “Women basically don’t know how to look at men.”

“oh my! “Stop talking nonsense and get ready for the wedding.”

As Yeon Jeok-ha rolled his eyes Shim Tong returned with an aggrieved look on his face.

He suddenly counted down the days.

It’s already been five years since I returned from the upper world.

Considering that Shim Tong only had two years left to live there was no time to delay.

‘Anyway time flies so fast. All the hawks are coming to little Wol-ah…’
