Episode 1164
‘Well, it’s a little embarrassing.’
Jin Cheon-hee scratched her cheek with her index finger.
anyway.
In other words, the master named Kwon Ga is one of the few chefs in this village and is an expert in cooking for over a hundred years.
In fact, even if I’ve been cooking for a hundred years.
Jin Cheon-hee knows very well that her skills will not improve this much if she does not work hard.
I could see how sincere this person, Kwon Ga, was about cooking.
‘Thanks to you, I can also eat these delicacies.’
How can you create such a taste by using ingredients that are nothing special?
It’s just amazing.
It is said that the history of Taowonhyang continued long before the Hwa Empire.
Amazingly, it is said that people lived for that long without any trouble or worry.
‘It looks like there was a little fight between the neighbors.’
A world where there is no poverty, no hunger, no pain.
A world where you can just live for a long time for a long time.
Cheonwoo sent a message.
[In that sense, this place, Dowonhyang, can truly be said to be the paradise that people have been searching for.]
Unlike the Rakshasa era, there is no change in people at night, and there is no brainwashing or anything like that.
They are just civilians.
[I guess you’ll have to wait and see.]
The congressman doesn’t believe in fairy tales.
To be precise, I want to believe it, but my past experiences have made me doubt it.
[You mean to see it?]
[I guess I can just wait until night?]
What changes when night comes?
Cheonwoo couldn’t understand.
But Jin Cheon-hee laughs without explaining any further.
Jin Cheon-hee naturally blends in with the crowd and heads to the center of the bar.
“I’ll play one song!”
“Waaah!”
“What beauty in the world is so beautiful? “I thought you were a celestial being!”
“I heard he’s a doctor, but he’s also good at playing?”
The people here are all nice, but it seems like there isn’t enough things to do.
Diriring –
Seven silver and gold notes create a melody.
“Oooh! “I’m already looking forward to it.”
People approached me with their eyes shining.
The alcohol started to trickle down.
As the night went on, the drinking party got deeper and deeper.
Among them, there were even people who were so drunk that they started slurring their words.
Then someone started crying.
“I should have gone instead of him… I should have gone instead of him…!”
“Don’t say that. “That was his choice!”
“I made a sacrifice… I made a sacrifice…”
“Mother… Ugh, sob, sob.”
The sound of music began to ring from all directions.
Someone cried and squeezed their chest.
Looking at that scene, Cheonwoo suddenly realized something.
[Ah, that’s why you said we should wait a little longer.]
My brother is amazed.
There were times when I learned the meaning of words that were passed in this way a long time later.
just as expected.
The words people spit out are all very meaningful.
Choice and sacrifice.
A story about giving yourself for someone.
As the drinking deepened, people searched for someone they had lost.
Jin Cheon-hee’s face became increasingly hard.
at that time.
“Do you not like alcohol?”
Mr. Suksu Kwon approached.
There was sadness in his eyes too.
“Everyone understand. “This place is definitely paradise, but everyone sacrificed something to get here.”
“A sacrifice?”
“That’s…”
Then the sound of something breaking rang out.
“what! “It’s not even the festival day yet, so what’s this all about!”
The voice of an old man!
Jin Cheon-hee opened her eyes in surprise.
Isn’t that a very familiar voice?
‘What about this voice?’
I turned my head and looked. Standing there was the old man whom Jin Cheon-hee had treated earlier.
‘Old miser?’
He was the one who sent me spring greens that were out of season.
‘Could it be that those spring greens came from here?’
“…!”
As I was about to say something in surprise, people began to gather noisily.
“The village chief has arrived!”
“Have you been to the village chief?”
“Wahahah! Chief. “Get a drink!”
In the village where I first saw it, people were swearing at me, saying that there was no such thing as a yellow snake.
He saves every penny he has and keeps it at home.
It was Jin Cheon-hee who knew that and played a trick on the old man.
‘Oh, by any chance… In that case, you must have been the one who spread that old man joke I taught you to the people here.’
He brought me spring greens when the flowers had not yet bloomed, so it was a joke worth paying for.
Especially since it was difficult to find spring greens with such a fragrant scent.
‘Everyone was pointing fingers at me for not even telling me where I got my vegetables from.’
Now that I think about it, this old man is also very harsh.
Have you been hiding a secret like this your whole life?
“Jangga, this guy drank so much alcohol! Shin! Where is Mr. Shin? Take your husband! And it’s not even a festival day, so why are you celebrating… Uh huh. “Has a foreigner come?”
Only then did the old man, who had heard the story from people, look this way.
“!”
The old man opened his eyes in surprise.
“…Uh, it’s been a while.”
The congressman smiled shyly.
* * *
“It is said that my brother Mo is serving as the village chief of Dowonhyang. “You may have already noticed, but according to village custom, we call each other by our last names.”
The old man also revealed only his last name.
When I think about it, I remember that in the village I first saw, my last name wasn’t even Hyeong.
‘It seems like he used an assumed name outside.’
Jin Cheon-hee did not ask any more questions.
If you were acquainted with this old man, you might feel betrayed, but we only passed each other by.
“I saw you outside, but let me formally introduce you again here. My name is Jin Cheon-hee from Baeklin Uigak. “These are my younger brothers.”
“iced coffee. okay. okay. “I don’t know how you got here, but it looks like the story about you isn’t a lie.”
“What are you talking about?”
I tried to refute him again when he said he was crazy, but the old man’s answer was unexpected.
“There is a rumor that it is so haunting that its movements cannot be traced. “There is a crazy person who will find and destroy every living vegetable, no matter how well you hide it.”
“Ahahaha….”
I can’t refute this.
Jin Cheon-hee smiles awkwardly.
“Well, I hope you understand even if this old man talks. He’s quite old. “You would probably know this if you heard it from the villagers.”
“I was surprised at how different the impression was from the outside.”
“It’s not okay to make friends from outside the country. I guess it’s because the lifespan is different. “It’s something that hurts both sides.”
There was a long depth of thought in the old man’s eyes.
Ah, that was an expression that only someone who had suffered the same wound for a long time could make.
The lawmaker somewhat indifferently changed the topic.
“I heard. “Everyone here ages slowly and is healthy without disease.”
“That’s the law.”
The old man was grateful for the councilor’s consideration.
I was a little at a loss as to what to answer if I asked for no reason.
Even though so many years had passed, there were still wounds that had not healed, and I was worried that they would hurt and rub up on me.
Strangely, as we age, rather than becoming more insensitive, we only become more sensitive.
The old man knew that this was the scary thing about time.
‘And that congressman… he doesn’t seem like a young guy, he’s deep inside.’
It was quite different from the average powerhouses of that age.
This was especially true for the hollow eyes and cautiousness in his actions.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Anyway, I didn’t know you were the village chief of Dowonhyang. “Do you think the residents can move around as they please?”
“no. Only I can do this. It is my authority as the village chief. Once the others leave here, they can never come back. And there is a ban on disclosing stories about this place.”
“Hoo.”
At that time, Cheonwoo intervened.
“Does that ban also apply to us?”
If you don’t go out, it will be a huge disaster.
The village chief folded his arms, groaned for a while, and then said:
“Well… aren’t you famous warriors? It’s my first time experiencing something like this, so I don’t know. “In the case of foreigners who come in by chance, if they all go outside, they won’t be able to remember what happened here and won’t be able to talk about it properly.”
Is it possible to go back?
It’s a pity that he doesn’t remember, but since he still has work to do as a shaman, returning was the top priority for Cheonwoo.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“What happens if someone from here leaves?”
The village chief continued.
“It happens very occasionally. People who are bored living peacefully here for a long time. In that case, if you go out and live, you won’t lose your memory, but you won’t be able to speak. Well, that’s roughly how a ban is imposed.”
If that’s the case, it makes sense that Dowonhyang’s secret would be maintained for a long time.
Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought.
‘In the Supreme Heavenly Demon, Prince Geumcheon clearly said that he was from Dowonhyang. Hmm. Was he free from prohibition?’
Clues are still lacking.
Sima Xuan sent a message.
[Something like a special type of prohibition using alcohol or drugs? There are a lot of things like that in Gangho.]
The village chief said.
“okay. What brings you here? I want you to stay as quietly as possible before leaving. Even if you don’t lose your memories, I’d like you to keep this a secret.”
A world where you can live a healthy life to 300 years and never starve or get sick.
It was obvious what would happen if that location spread.
As a village chief, the current situation would be best.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“We are looking for someone called Dobaekha who goes by the nickname Samjeolchuho. “They said he disappeared from Dobulsa Temple, which is the entrance to this place.”
The village chief was surprised at those words and opened his eyes.
“Did you guys come in through Taoist Temple?”
“yes? yes. “Yes, but.”
“Heh heh. “I’m surprised… I’m surprised that anyone was able to get in there!”
What’s even more surprising about this one is that there was another entrance.
the village chief asked.
“That’s not the official entrance… Didn’t Qin Shi Huang’s earthen soldiers attack?”
“Uh… those were really Qin Shi Huang’s clay pottery?”
“That’s right. There are several entrances to Dowonhyang. That place is one of them. A long time ago, Qin Shi Huang, who was wandering around looking for the herb of immortality, invaded this place with his proud clay soldiers.”
“wow!”
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes shine.
Seeing that, the village chief burst out laughing.
This is because the stoic military officer, who is considered a master of the police, has a child-like expression.
‘I think I know why people follow the author.’
He is a kind-hearted person who even yells at himself, who has become the most obnoxious old man in the village.
Normally, if you were a practicing police officer, wouldn’t you have to go into the mountains and practice extensively?
Although he couldn’t understand it, the old man thought it was funny too.
“So what happened to those clay soldiers?”
“Ah, in the end, I couldn’t come in here. Instead, only a small group of earthen soldiers remained and suddenly repelled the invaders.”
“How did you end up using it so well?”
“But you guys destroyed it, didn’t you?”
“Hehehehe….”
The person who destroyed all the clay pots laughed like a fool.
‘I thought it was a blood missionary trap, but it seems it wasn’t.’
That’s a good thing.
“Then how on earth was Dobulsa Temple built?”
This was a bit surprising.
“hmm?”
Jin Cheon-hee seemed to not understand, so he spoke again.
“If that place is a trap for clay soldiers, then how on earth was Dobulsa Temple built?”
“iced coffee! Are you saying that? This is the first young guy to ask such a question. Usually, a strong person would think that he must have created it somehow in the past, and it was a martial art that the clay soldier used. “I’m bound to ask about the salary that’s written down.”
‘Young Master… what kind of strong people have you met while living for such a long time?’
The village chief was a bit… ‘Oh! You think 1+1 is 2! Usually, powerhouses don’t know that, but it’s amazing. I was looking at Jin Cheon-hee with a feeling like ‘That
“….”
It’s a bit embarrassing.
