160 times. If the night is long, the dream is long [夜長夢多]
Even the careless Yeonjeok-ha was blatant enough to know the meaning behind the words.
“haha. It’s not a big deal, so what? Please take good care of your brother, Mr. Yu. And I will visit the Lord Yeon before he leaves.”
I didn’t hesitate to do it.
I didn’t ask for it, and I said I’d pay it myself, but there was no reason to refuse.

Shandong Province.
Chuseong Huwa Village.
around noon.
Three old warriors entered the village entrance.
These are the Kunlun Samseon who left Kunlun Mountain.
Even today, they were going in the direction indicated by the Chuma Bagua Board (追魔八封板).
Taeeul Seonin murmured as he looked around the peaceful village.
“Huh. Isn’t the Chuma Bagua board wrong? No matter where you go, only places that have nothing to do with monsters come out, so you want…”
Seonin Taeryeong, who was in charge of the Chuma Palgwae Board, said with a confused face.
“Still, it doesn’t seem to be out of order, seeing as it is running sparsely. This is the direction we last moved, so trust me.”
Taemu shook his head.
“The Chuma Bagua board has changed its direction three or four times, but has it not been pointing south consistently lately? I think I’m on the right track.”
Taeryeong’s face brightened.
“Isn’t it? I just wanted to hear the right way. haha.”
The three men, who had been chatting at each other, entered an inn that was visible to the naked eye.
A strange sound came to the ears of the three people who were sitting after ordering food.
Jangsam said to his friend Lee Shin across the street.
“Do you remember the great fight between the Murim people at the entrance of the village about a month ago?”
“I don’t know. why?”
“I heard the merchants say a few days ago. But the story is very similar to what happened in my village. It seems that those who died that day were the famous religious leaders.”
“What did you hear?”
“In Shandong Province, the green forest patrol killed 12 horsemen of the famous cult?”
“however? It takes a day or two for Murim people to die and die.”
Lee Shin had a sullen face.
“listen carefully. But as soon as the Twelve Horsemen died, they turned into a strange monster. Like a goblin, horns grew on the top of his head and even blades were attached to his fingertips. The Green Forest Patrol killed it again, so this time it turned into powder and disappeared.”
“omg! really?”
“Because it is. A lot of people from the Lower Hyeop Village said they saw it. In the vicinity, they call the total patrol of the green forest Gucheonsinjang. If there is a shrine for Gucheonsinjang in that village, isn’t that what I said?”
“The monster was really the Twelve Horsemen?”
“Oh, because it is. After the leader of the band of pirates became the Twelve Horsemen, he must have chosen only bad things in the area. Then I got hit by the green forest patrol.”
“oh my god!”
“Are you surprised? Did something similar happen in our village?”
“It did. A dark monster over one foot tall (about 3 meters) and a monster with horns on its head. I heard that those monsters disappeared like dust as soon as they died.”
Lee Shin heard the story from the village chief.
It was said that the village chief and about a dozen villagers who were working in the fields witnessed it together.
“You still don’t know? Here again, the Green Forest Patrol and the Twelve Horsemen fought. because it must be From what the merchants say, it’s not just the first or two fights like this this year.”
“Then, is Green Forest and the famous church at war?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, everyone keeps quiet, but I think it’s true that the monster’s true identity is the Twelve Horsemen.”
Taeeul Seonin, who had been listening from afar, approached their seat abruptly.
“Let’s excuse ourselves while we’re talking.”
Jangsam and Lee Shin looked startled when someone suddenly interrupted them.
It was embarrassing because they were talking about the Murim people, especially the famous religion.
Jangsam let out a sigh of relief when he saw the guru with a gentle expression.
“ha! took ten years Do you have something to do, Master?”
“I was sitting next to him and overheard the conversation between the two of them. A monster appeared in this town?”
“haha. Since you are a guru, you must be interested in such stories. you’re right. There was a big fight between the Murim people about a month ago, and that happened then. The chief and villagers said they saw it.”
“Did the two Murim masters die and turn into monsters?”
“Yes, I heard from merchants passing by that something similar had happened several times before.”
“her! Is it true that he is one foot tall and has horns on his head?”
“That’s okay. It’s a story everyone in our village knows. My friend, tell me something too.”
Lee Shin reluctantly opened his mouth to Jang Sam’s encouragement.
“I heard it too. The village headman and villagers said they saw it while working in the fields.”
“Huh! All right. Thank you for your words.”
Tae-eul Seon-in showed the two of them the town and returned to their seats.
When Tae-eul came closer, Tae-mu couldn’t help but shake his butt.
“It seems that the Sahyung Chuma Bagua Board taught me properly. It means that monsters continue to appear in the south. Shouldn’t we hurry?”
Then, Seon Tae-eul shook his head.
“no. I don’t think it’s something to be rushed. Didn’t it say that the Twelve Horsemen turned into monsters after they died? It’s like saying that if you don’t die, there will be no monsters. Now I know why the Chuma Palgwae board moved so tremblingly.”
A quiet voice flowed from the mouth of Taemu, who acted as if he would leave at any moment.
“Hmm! Every time the Twelve Horsemen died, they pointed to that spot.”
“yes. However, what is difficult to understand is why the green forest patrol is killing the twelve horsemen.”
Taemu Seonin also shook his head with a face that was difficult to understand.
“It certainly doesn’t seem like an ordinary day. Nokrim can be said to be the head of Sapa, but he kills 12 horsemen of the famous cult.”
As far as he knew, famous religions were sects, but in terms of their veins, they were closer to Sapa.
It is for this reason that the Justice League declared Yumyeonggyo as a Moorim Gong last year.
Seon Tae-eul looked at the two priests and said.
“When I first came to the continent, the Chuma Palgwae Board pointed to the east. After that, it slowly moved south. If the words of the merchants and villagers are true, it may be that the green forest patrol was looking for the Twelve Horsemen.”
“Maybe.”
“her! Why is he?”
Seonin Taemu and Seonin Taeryeong did not object to the words of Seon Taeeul.
Certainly, looking at the journey so far, I could see that the goal is moving.
“I need to meet the green forest patrol. Then you will know if the movement of the Chuma Palgwae Board is related to it. Don’t you think he might be where the needle is pointing?”
Tae-ryeong asked with a startled face at the words of Tae-eul.
“You mean he’s the boss of the monsters?”
“Heh heh! No way. It was said that if he killed the Twelve Horsemen and the monster appeared, you would naturally meet him if you followed the needle.”
“You are right!”
Belatedly, Seon Taeryeong slapped me on the knee.
Seonin Tae-eul smiled as he looked at him, who looked somewhat clumsy.
The nature and specialties of Kunlun Samseon are different.
For example, he is rational and is good at various arts.
Taemu Seonin is a bit impatient, but he has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
and Taeryeong Seonin.
He may look stupid, but he is the closest to the Tao.
That is why the Kunlunpa Jang scholar entrusted him with the Chuma Bagua board. Because only he can judge whether the direction of the Chuma Bagua board is right or wrong.
Taemu’s swordsmanship is as high as his own, and Taeryeong’s enlightenment is deep.
It is for this reason that outsiders call the Kunlun Samseon half-man, half-seon.
***
Early May.
Ho Kwang Sung Infinite Dongho.
Super Cheontae.
By the time the sun goes down.
After leaving Gyo-Ryang Village, Yeon Jeok-Ha’s two-headed wagon arrived at Chocheon-Tae in Dong-Ho.
It took about half a day since we started after lunch.
When the carriage finally stopped, the people inside calmly came out.
“Aww! You’re finally Dongho!”
Yeon Jeok-ha stretched out as if about to wake up and screamed loudly.
The loud noise made the people passing by glance at each other.
Every time that happened, Gucheonno also opened his eyes violently with heartache.
Unable to see, Yeonjeokha said a word.
“Relax your strength in Old Sim’s eyes. Why are you so anxious to eat someone else?”
“Confucius, if you don’t do this, you’ll keep snooping around, thinking it’s a spectacle.”
“Is that so? Then I’m putting more effort into my eyes.”
“yes.”
Heartache, which had been staring at the surroundings with hawk-like eyes, pointed to one side.
“I see something like a sink over there.”
“Watercolor is watercolor. What is similar?”
Yeonjeokha grumbled and turned his head.
A huge manor stood at the bottom of the hill, facing a lake as wide as the sea.
However, the ship was not visible, and only the Murim people with weapons were in and out of the wide open front gate.
Certainly, just by looking at that, it was difficult to tell whether it was a sink or a mountain hut belonging to a powerful family.
In the end, he visited Hwayong Doksim Namgung-yeon, who had a rivalry.
“Sister, is that Dongho-suchae?”
“I think that’s right. I heard that Dongho Waterfall is located where you can look down from Chocheontae.”
“Does it look surprisingly peaceful?”
“Maybe it feels that way because it’s a lake…”
Namgoongyeon gazed at Dongho, which was stained red by the setting sun, with dim eyes.
The Namgung family was also adjacent to the lakeside.
Maybe that’s why I miss Namgung Sega more and more today when I come to Dongho.
“ah! Come to think of it, I said that Namgung family was near Soho, right?”
“huh.”
A bitter smile appeared on Namgoongyeon’s lips.
Namgung Se and Musansohchuk were in the same area. If he had known that Musan Nangrang was Baekduma-gun, would he have been able to avoid the extinction?
At that time, Isan, the coachman, approached and spoke cautiously.
“The one below Confucius is called Donghu Waterfall. I heard that it only takes one more trip (about 20 minutes), would you like to go now? Or a nearby inn…”
I couldn’t answer right away.
Because time is too vague
Is it okay to go to the sink now that dusk is setting?
“Sister, what should I do?”
“They say that the longer the night, the longer the dream [夜長夢多]. Rumors will soon spread that you came to Bridgetown. As you know from experiencing the Yangtze River Incident, bandits are cunning. You’d better go now if you want to rush in and finish it before he prepares.”
“I’ll go. Uncle, please hurry up.”
Namgoong-yeon, who has a relationship, is unconditional.
Isa went back the way he came with a firm face.
He fully sympathized with Namgoongyeon’s words.
It’s safe to finish it off before the bandits prepare anything!
I no longer wanted to be on an exploding ship or shiver in the water.
The carriage moved.
This time, Yeon Jeok-ha came to the seat next to the director.
Isa drove the wagon wildly, determined to finish it just as Namgung-yeon said.
Doo doo doo.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been banging his butt on the stretching chair, shouted.
“mister! too fast! Doesn’t this cause the carriage to overturn?”
“It’s not that steep! Hang on to your worries!”
The skill of a director who pulled a wagon all his life was unusual.
The carriage went down the hill in the blink of an eye.
When they came down to the flat land, the wagon increased its speed and rushed toward Dongho Waterfall like a gale.
Quadd deuk.
‘Oops! This man is scary.’
I was very nervous that the wagon wheel might be broken at this rate. It didn’t seem to be this much when fighting the Twelve Horsemen.
