Punggeommun is currently the most famous school in Akyang.
Although they were a small to medium-sized sect, they had quite strong martial arts and had enough influence to take over the entire Akyang area in an instant, so no one could harm them.
Originally, the Punggeommun was a sect located in Hubei.
Because Hubei could not escape the reputation and influence of shamans and the Zhuge Dynasty, it was difficult for the small and medium-sized sects to solidify their position.
Therefore, Hu Hu-ryeong, the lord of Punggeommun, decided to leave Hubuk, and the place he chose was Agyang.
Recently, a lot of things have been happening near Agyang, and even the movements of the military god have appeared in Gunja Island. Although there has been no news that something has been discovered, Honam is still a place where many secrets are hidden.
Isn’t there also a legend like this?
[Sealing the god of war in the deepest part of Dongjeong Lake.]
This story is a simple legend.
It is completely unknown where and how it came from or from whose mouth it was passed down.
However, as traces of the god of war, which until now was thought to be a legend, were discovered, people began to wonder whether the story of sealing the god of war might also be true.
When the story that Gunjado had been discovered began to spread, after Punggeommunju, Jaryeong quickly organized the sect and came to Agyang.
Since the legend of the God of War could no longer be called a legend, Punggeommun believed that if he could find traces of him, he would not only be able to rise to the level of the Nine-File-Ilbang or the Eight Generations, but to a higher level.
Many people thought the same thing. Therefore, sects sprang up in droves, and it was none other than Hu Hu-ryeong who eventually took control of the area around Agyang.
He was full of pride about this.
“So, did you see it?”
“I asked a boatman nearby and he said this area is the deepest. Of course, this is just a guess.”
Hu Hu-ryeong nodded at his subordinate’s words.
The place he pointed to was a point on the map of Dongdong Lake.
Suha pointed out a few more locations, but they were all not far from the first location.
“Most of them are around here.”
“I think it’s because this stream is the deepest part of Dongjeong Lake. “Not only the boatman but also other people talked about this area.”
Hmm, Hu Hu-ryeong nodded.
Since he had settled down here with the intention of entering Dongdong Lake from the beginning, he had already completed his preparations.
The ship was ready, so all that was left was to take action.
“It’s quite a distance.”
“Yes, it takes about an hour to get there from the main gate, so it seems impossible to go back and forth from Agyang.”
Hu Hu-ryeong knows.
You will certainly not be the only one trying to find the legend of martial arts.
Even now, there will be people running with similar thoughts somewhere, so we need to move as quickly as possible.
Two o’clock on the way back and forth.
Hu Hu-ryeong felt like even that time was a waste.
“Where can I stay nearby?”
“There is one place…”
“There is one? You mean around here? “Is it something like a boatman’s house?”
“Oh no. There is… a manor….”
“Manor?”
Hu Hu-ryeong opened his eyes wide.
The area around Dongdong Lake was imperial land, so buying and selling was prohibited.
Maybe that’s why he didn’t settle down in Agyang instead of near Dongjeong Lake. However, Hu Hu-ryeong could not help but be surprised to hear that there was a manor in such a place.
Suha opened his mouth again.
“It looks like he has connections to the prefecture.”
“Have you done any research?”
“I tried it, but… there was no information about who it was, only that it suddenly appeared a few months ago.”
“I see…”
Hu Hu-ryeong nodded.
I thought that if I had connections with the county government, it could be like this. This is because laws inherently have beneficiaries, whether they know it or not.
Hu Hu-ryeong smiled and turned his back.
“Get ready. “I have to go here myself.”
“All right.”
“Keuuuuuu-! “Please…please save me.”
“What are you doing? “Go ahead.”
Dan Woo-hyeon was sitting on the veranda and reading a book.
It seemed like he was having a leisurely time, but strangely enough, Jang Sam-tae was not doing so.
He was working at the manor as usual. But the problem is that I can’t stand up.
No matter where I went or what I did, I had to move while squatting.
However, since I had no choice but to prepare meals in this situation, I had no choice but to cook and do laundry.
Jang Sam-tae could squat or crawl on the ground, but he could not stand up and walk.
It was Dan Woo-hyeon’s name.
I thought I might be able to stand up if I was out of his sight, but even that was impossible because Kwon Moo-jin followed me when I went to the back.
‘I’m glad I didn’t die.’ Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat. At first, I really thought I was going to die.
Although he could not control the appearance of the cave, he made a map and sprinkled mud inside the cave. As a result, it was Jang Sam-tae who made Dan Woo-hyeon angry.
Considering Dan Woo-hyeon’s personality, I was almost thankful that he was just alive.
‘Who knew it would catch it?’
However, Jang Sam-tae also has something to say.
People are everywhere in the middle of nowhere.
There were so many people that they would be swept away if they were swept away, and it never occurred to them that Dan Woo-hyeon would get caught there.
Moreover, looking at the fact that he went hoping for treasure, it seems that it was motivated by Dan Woo-hyeon’s greed.
On the other hand, I wanted to say many things, but I had to keep my mouth shut for fear of death.
At that time, someone knocked on the front door.
Jang Sam-tae glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
There are no guests coming in or out of this manor.
Sometimes Hong Won-chang would come and wander around with various things, and other times, Dan So-mi would bring Namgung So-hye from Akyang.
Moreover, since they did not knock on the door, it seemed like they were first-time guests.
“I… Lord Jang’s guest…”
“Go and see.”
“Go… thank you!”
Jang Sam-tae tried to stand up. Even if the people in the manor were like that, they couldn’t squat in front of strangers.
However, the moment he tried to stand up, Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes glowed fiercely. In the end, Jang Sam-tae, who had tried to stand still, sat down again and walked toward the gate. Soon, Jang Sam-tae, standing in front of the gate, looked at Kwon Moo-jin next to him.
“That…”
“What?”
“My hand can’t reach the door?”
“Hung…”
Kwon Moo-jin snorted and opened the door as if he had no choice.
Since there were several people outside, Moojin Kwon unconsciously placed his hand on the sword the moment he opened the door.
“Hello, how are you? “Is the person from this manor a god?”
There were about a dozen people standing outside the gate.
In the center of them all wearing scarlet uniforms, a sharp-looking man could be seen smiling while giving an unfavorable look.
Kwon Moo-jin looked at him for a moment and nodded.
“That’s right. “What about you?”
“Oh, we are the people of the Wind Sword Gate. “My name is Hu Hu-ryeong, the owner of the door.”
“Funggeommun?”
It’s a name I’ve never heard before. In the first place, Kwon Moo-jin had always lived with the thought that unless he was one of the eight major powers of the Nine-File Il-Bang, his name was not worth remembering, so I thought he was just making a fuss.
“Now that I have introduced myself… I would like to meet the owner of this manor?”
“Wait.”
Seeing the man’s unusual expression, Kwon Moo-jin answered bluntly and turned his back. I don’t know why I came here, but seeing him smiling made me feel bad.
On the other hand, even though he didn’t show it, the latter couldn’t shake off the strange feeling. Since it was such a large manor, I thought there would be a lot of people, but when I actually saw it, I was suspicious that there were only a few people.
Even…
there was a man squatting in front of him. Judging by his behavior, he looked like a slave, but I felt a bit bad as he sat down and looked up at me.
“Is there something on my face?”
“No, I was just looking at the ground and I looked up because I thought the dog was going to fall, so don’t worry about it.”
“Ma… Masho?”
“Okay, don’t worry about it.” Fluttering – Hu
Hu-ryeong trembled.
An ordinary guy speaks informally. That expression was so unlucky that I just wanted to step on it.
However, now is the time to show off to the owner of this manor, so there is nothing good in calling for blood for no reason.
Hu Hu-ryeong had made up his mind that he would behave decently since he was a Punggeommun lord belonging to a political faction or even a member of the Murim League.
“So you said you’d see me?”
Then I heard a voice.
Hu Hu-ryeong raised his eyes in surprise.
There was no sign of anyone approaching, but before I knew it, he was right in front of me. The others seemed to be quite surprised as well.
Hu Hu-ryeong soon adjusted his expression and cleared his throat.
“Cuck!” “I am the leader of the Wind Sword Gate….”
“I have already heard the story. “Let’s talk about business as briefly as possible.”
For a moment, Hu Hu-ryeong had a blank expression.
I have never been treated like this since I was born in this world.
The man in front of me seemed to be looking down at people with an arrogant gaze, as if the whole world was his.
Grinding my
teeth.
“Speak bluntly. “Won’t you sell this manor to me?”
Hu Hu-ryeong took out his business and threw away his wallet.
It fell to the ground and countless hermits jumped out and rolled on the ground. Even if you look at it, it seemed like it would be close to 200 nyang.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it and laughed.
Then, he slowly moved his foot and pushed the front bag towards Hu Hu-ryeong.
That action in some way touched the temper of Hu Hu-ryeong and his party.
“Isn’t this…interest truly crazy! How dare you know who we are!”
The disciples of the Punggeommun Gate who were standing behind raised their voices.
Punggeommun, who controlled Akyang, had no trouble. Even if they are a wise spirit, they have so much power that they cannot stop them.
They show this kind of behavior to themselves?
Even if I was crazy, I was definitely crazy.
The moment I was thinking that, I heard Dan Woohyun’s voice.
“It’s not enough.”
“…How much will it cost?”
“I think 10 million nyang would be enough to cover the cost.”
“…You’re so mischievous.”
“Well, does this sound like a joke?”
Hu Hu-ryeong realized that this was not a joke. The man in front of me didn’t seem to have the slightest desire to sell the manor.
Hu Hu-ryeong chuckled.
“This really puts people in trouble. I can’t help it. I’ll be leaving for today. “If you change your mind, come see me.”
Hu Hu-ryeong very obediently turned his back.
Even though he never thought it would happen like this, he left the manor with a kind smile.
Rather, the disciples’ gaze was sharper.
“What are you going to do? I don’t think it will just go away, but…”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded.
I don’t know why, but they want this manor.
Since you must have done enough research on the manor before coming here, you will also know that Hong Won-chang, the county commander, is in the back row.
Otherwise, judging from Hu Hu-ryeong’s appearance just a moment ago, he would have already drawn his sword.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had been thinking about it until then, laughed.
“Call the old man.”
“Jonmyeong!”
Kwon Moo-jin hurriedly ran towards Agyang.
