Episode 640
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“good. okay. If you’re going to do this, you have to do it well.”
“Okay. “Sister~ If we find evidence, let’s just give it to him~ Anyway, it’s confirmed that he got along with Nokrim.”
Crackling –
Sima Hyun loosened his knuckles.
It looks like he’s already itching to rip off Dan Seok-san’s face.
‘It is certain that Sima County money is also included in the Cloud Dragon Symbol Bureau.’
A grudge is not an ordinary grudge.
The moment we find the evidence, we will assume that Dan Seok-san’s life is gone.
Jin Cheonhee thought so and nodded.
‘Dan Shishan is rich in cash, so there would be no way to survive other than immediately piling up a mountain of compensation at the foot of Sima County.’
If you are rich in real estate, there is no answer.
* * *
That’s how the two were able to reach the village.
A small village located about two days away from Dowon-dong, where Dan Seok-san lives.
However, as soon as I entered the village, the stench was extremely strong.
‘Huh?’
Jin Cheon-hee quickly looked around.
I saw civilians walking helplessly with bloodless faces.
And at the corner of the street, corpses were lined up wrapped in straw, and people who appeared to be family members were wailing.
Jin Cheon-hee muttered.
“Could it be a plague?”
It was something unknown.
Rather, the vigilant eyes of the village people took priority.
‘If you want to move the coffin, you need to at least roughly know what’s going on…’
When I told this to Sima Xuan, Sima Xuan whispered softly.
“But I won’t easily tell it to outsiders. “Especially after the scandal.”
I can’t help it.
Sima Hyun said.
“It’s the fastest way to get to the guesthouse.”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded, thinking of the North Sea Ice Palace.
If you want to get information there, the guesthouse was the fastest.
“I think so. “But is there no Haomundo here?”
“There was a little bunta.”
“How come it’s in past tense?”
“I killed him during the firefighting incident.”
After listening to it, I felt something strange about it, so I asked back.
“It’s not that he died, it’s ‘Did you kill him?’”
Sima Hyeon asked back as if he was asking something obvious.
“This is a guy who can’t be appeased even if you give him money, what can I do, sir? “There is a tradition in our Sapa of arresting family members and threatening them by feeding them loneliness, but the girl was too miserable for that, so we just cut her head cleanly.”
…Oh, I see. You killed it.
Sima Hyeon continued.
“We need to hire new people, but it’s not easy. “It seems like something happened during that gap.”
* * *
When we arrived at the guesthouse, the owner of the guesthouse was also sitting on a chair, looking out the window with blank eyes.
It’s a guesthouse where no one says, ‘Come on in!’ It’s fresh.
Jin Cheonhee thought about this and cleared his throat.
Only then did the inn owner speak in a weak voice.
“…welcome.”
Sima Xuan deliberately responded in a cheerful voice.
“Just roughly roll two noodles for each room. “I’m going to stay overnight, so a bathtub and hot water for a bath will do.”
Isn’t that what they are saying and throwing silver coins at them?
Ting!
The pear-shaped silver coin landed gently in the owner’s hand.
As expected, perhaps because he saw the silver coin, a little light returned to the owner’s eyes.
Sima Xuan deliberately spoke in a worried voice.
“The owner is so low-spirited. Now that I think about it, it looks like someone died. Is something going on?”
“The customers are strong people, right?”
Jin Cheon-hee said, showing the embroidery on her chest.
“I’m working at the Cloud and Dragon Bureau, but…”
Sima Xuan quickly received those words.
“I studied at Black Bota Geommun~”
he said and sent a message to Jin Cheon-hee.
[brother. People in Fujian Province don’t know much about the Cloud Dragon Symbol. But I know Botamun well. I have to say that first so they will understand.]
Sure enough, the owner nods his head only then.
“Botamun! Ah… you practiced in the Buddhist temple!”
Doesn’t it make you blush when you say that?
Jin Cheon-hee said upon seeing that.
“Seeing that the owner is so happy to see us, it seems like there is some connection.”
Has your voice become a bit thicker?
I realized it late, but the owner was so worried that he didn’t seem to care much about it.
“Well… a monster appears.”
“yes?”
I asked again to see if I had heard correctly.
However, the owner’s expression was serious, as if it was neither a joke nor a lie.
“It’s already been several months since a monster came out and harmed people. “There is no longer a place for the grave, and the local geomancer has long since run away, so we are at a loss as to what to do for the funeral.”
Jin Cheon-hee asked as a K-citizen.
“Not a tiger?”
“What kind of mountain lord opens the door to the house and comes in and harms people?”
“that…?”
“If it was a criminal, you can’t just turn the door and open it. “At least the traces that remain now are not something an animal could have done.”
The owner thought about it and added a word.
“Can you, the priestesses of Botamun, please help me defeat this evil monster? “Isn’t there an old story about a powerful monk who drove out a monster by reciting Buddhist sutras?”
Buddhist scriptures?
In an unexpected situation, Jin Cheon-hee only responded like this.
“I’ll think about it first.”
“We will make sure you make the case! Please, please, please. “If we keep doing this, we’re all going to die!”
Isn’t it like getting down on your knees and begging?
Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly helped the owner stand up.
The owner’s eyes were filled with tears.
“sorry. “Stop because I’m worried about my daughter.”
There wasn’t much Yang Min could do.
‘But what about it? ‘How do I recite Buddhist scriptures?’
Youkai… What is this…
‘Is it related to King Yeonwon’s rampage?’
* * *
The guesthouse owner carefully filled the bath water and rolled the noodles.
Even residents of other villages were upset when they heard that an inspection had come from Botamun.
“Would you like the nun to recite a sutra?”
“I’m not sure if he’ll be good at reciting sutras since he’s a monk… but he’s probably better than an average warrior.”
“Am cancer!”
Even though I’m speaking from quite far away, I can clearly hear it.
When Jin Cheon-hee whispered that it was burdensome, Sima Hyun calmly said while eating noodles.
[Eat well, rest well, take a look at the situation, and if it doesn’t seem to work, you can get out.]
[But since we are lay disciples, we are not monks.]
Lak disciples usually meant people who paid money to learn martial arts.
Since they only learn martial arts, they cannot be called monks.
[How would they know such a thing?]
[Well. You wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking at the clothes we wear. By the way, do you believe that there are monsters?]
Sima Hyeon responded to Jin Tianxi’s words as if he was asking something obvious.
[There is a blood mission, but there may also be monsters. At least monsters don’t sell drugs, capture people, make slaves, and lure Sukshin children into war, right?]
Well, it’s simple. This conclusion. It’s so cool it’s almost cold.
Anyway, since this guy said this, Jin Cheonhee decided to put her mind in order.
‘okay. Let’s try as hard as we can and if it doesn’t work out, let’s not do it.’
There was this information in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty in the past.
– Please defeat this with artillery.
As strange things continued in the house, Jin Cheon-hee rearmed in the spirit of asking for just one cannon shot to be fired.
The answer is firepower firepower!
‘In the face of powerful firepower, it’s a nightmare and a fuss.’
Didn’t King Yeonwon, who doesn’t know if it was the Seongseong or the Daeseongseong, be defeated with K-firepower?
‘Firepower is the best!’
No matter how terrifying a monster it is, it must search in front of this ice crystal sword.
[And… maybe it’s not a monster, but a spirit creature.]
[A spirit object?]
[A spirit object like the six-pointed viper we saw in the past. There are spirit creatures that are friendly to humans, but there are also those that are not.] After
eating a delicious bowl of noodles, I went to take a bath.
While soaking in the bath, Jin Cheon-hee told the story of a black crab that he had caught before.
It’s a huge venomous dog that lives by eating people.
[Just looking at Hwanggu, he is very smart. A smart spirit creature may have started to enjoy eating people. And that can look like a monster.]
Actually, I don’t know much about the difference between a monster and a spirit.
Spiritual creatures are often seen, and youkai are legendary beings.
(Unofficially) I think Yuho might be a similar being, but he could also just be an extension of the spirit character.
In any case, it is impossible for a mortal to know each and every one of these things.
“Let’s defeat it with artillery first. Then you will know.”
“…?”
Sima Xuan slightly tilted his head and said this.
“You mean just give it to me and let’s see?”
“Look at him realizing it right away. “If you pretend, you’re pretending.”
Sima Hyeon responded to Jin Tianxi’s words.
“My brother would be the only one who would start talking about beating up the rumor that a monster has appeared.”
“That’s why I hear the sound of daylight.”
Jin Cheon-hee dried her hair and cleaned the blade of the ice crystal sword.
“After all, since it’s come to this, let’s just try to feast on it.”
“What if it’s someone you can communicate with?”
“Then we will work together for the advancement of humanity.”
Just put your head on it.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee organized her thoughts like that and relieved herself from travel fatigue for the night.
When morning came again, I told the guesthouse owner that I would exorcise the monster.
“also! Thank you! Thank you! “They are indeed the nuns of Botamun!”
Botamun has a good reputation wherever it goes.
Maybe it’s because he takes after his teacher, Monk Abi, but even though he’s not benevolent, he still tries to practice cooperation.
“I just gave you two bowls of noodles, so even if it wasn’t for that, I was very heartbroken. “I should have given you your bowl.”
However, it is rumored that Kangho eats a lot and Kim True.
There isn’t much to eat on the island, but everyone is a big eater, so even if you bring in hundreds of bags of rice, they run out in an instant.
Maybe that’s why there is a saying that if you want to hire a Botamun inspector, it’s better to eat a lot of rice than jeonnyang. It’s also delicious and a lot of rice is more effective.
It is said that the younger the swordsman, the better he eats.
On the other hand, Jin Cheon-hee looked strange because she was just average for a powerhouse.
‘Can’t you win with the size of your stomach?’
However, since it is a small town, I have never seen Botamun’s inspection up close, which is a good thing.
“For example, these are the whole coins that the people of our village collected at a low price.”
Grumbling –
instead of silver coins, only coins poured out.
Money with a lot of stains on it that has been kept for a long time.
“I will accept the reward in chickens, not money.”
“Chicken? “You mean just chicken?”
“yes. Please kill an old rooster instead of a laying hen later. “I make great soup with it.”
After saying that, he got up.
“If you don’t mind, I would like to see the bodies of the victims.”
Investigation comes first.
“Yes yes yes! Of course it should be so. Thank you. Thank you!”
The guesthouse owner deeply bows.
[The money my brother just turned down was probably a lifeline for those people.]
[Yes. It must be money to get through this winter. Giving that money means that the villagers also risked their lives.]
This meant that the resentment of the people was deep.
I couldn’t get it easily.
‘Rather than that, Yeongdan. Yes, Yeongdan. And no… no, precious research colleague.’
If it’s someone like King Yeonwon, catch him and send him to the lab.
If you’re like the giant centipede Black Goku, you’re in luck.
