Episode 373. Please call me Yeonnamcheon.
Mt. Mudang.
Shangcheng Palace.
The day the first snow fell on Mt.
Two dignitaries of the imperial family visited the shamans.
They are Dong Yu-soo, a member of the Golden Guard, and Baek-ho (leading ten guns of Namjin), Wang Mu-yang, in ‘Seven Words’.
About 300 troops were mobilized to escort the two.
Judging from the scale, they did not come simply to worship at the Tao-kan, but it was an official business.
The masters of Shangqing Palace debated whether this was an auspicious or a bad omen.
Jang Moon-in’s office.
The non-partisan faction leader, Younggyeol Merchant, greeted the two officials with a smile on his face.
“welcome. It is said that the long gate of the non-partisan faction is the merchant. Why did you come all the way to Wudang Mountain?”
Dong Yu-soo, a warrior in the southern Jin-jin, went to the main point without hesitation, as befits a high official.
“The main building is Dong Yu-su, a member of the Namjin Warriors of the Geumuiwi. I know that the senior citizen is staying with the non-partisan faction. Please let me meet him.”
“Ah, you were the same person. By the way, if you are a practitioner, are you talking about Taesanghobeop Yeonjeokha of Green Forest?”
Merchant Yeonggyeol looked at the complexion of Dong Yusoo.
Since Yeon Jeok-ha was a disciple of the shaman faction, I had to know what they were looking for.
If it was bad, I was thinking of making an appropriate excuse and sending it back.
“Right. Is there anyone else in the Danggeum River that deserves to be called a senior?”
“May I know what you are looking for him for?”
Dong Yu-soo frowned at Merchant Young-gyeol’s question.
He was a little offended that a non-partisan long scholar came between Yeon Jeok-ha and himself.
However, without his cooperation, he would not be able to meet Yeon Jeok-ha.
Eventually, Dong Yoo-soo opened his mouth with a light cough.
“I have known Confucius Heomyeon and the main building for a long time. His brother-in-law is also a gold digger. I don’t want to meet you because of something bad, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
Only then did the young woman’s face light up.
I wondered what would happen if I had to pretend to be a high-ranking official, but it didn’t seem like that would happen.
“I see. The senior practitioner recently became a secular disciple of a non-partisan sect. So I risked my rudeness and asked him what he was looking for.”
Dong Yu-soo was taken aback by the words of the merchant.
I never dreamed that the younger brother of the world would become a non-partisan secular disciple.
He hurriedly smiled all over his face and gave thanks.
“Congratulations that you accepted the practitioner as an internal disciple. The only thing left to do is to raise the name of the nonpartisan faction.”
Dong Yoo-soo immediately changed his tone.
Since Yeon Jeok-ha became a secular disciple of the shaman faction, it can be said that he was a subordinate of Jang Mun-in.
I had to look good to the man of longevity in order to move Yeonjeokha, so I had no choice.
Even after seeing Dong Yu-soo’s changed attitude, the merchant Yeong-gyeol pretended not to see it.
Still, a corner of my heart was proud.
“Yeon Gong is a registered disciple of Nosa Cheongbulno. I am currently training at the Oryong Palace.”
“…”
Dong Yu-soo’s eyes widened at the word ‘named disciple’.
It would be surprising even if he was an ordinary disciple, but he is a ‘named disciple’.
“Are you saying that if you are a named disciple, you have followed the progress of old man Cheongbulno?”
“Yes, he is the first and last disciple that Nosa Cheongbulno accepted before leaving the country. He is a non-partisan talent who even inherited his master’s dharma.”
“okay.”
Dong Yu-soo could see from Jang Mun-in’s words that the shaman faction did not force Yeon Jeok-ha to become a secular disciple.
‘To hear Yeon Jeok-ha became a non-partisan disciple… I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.’
It is more convenient to handle that the continuous loading is green.
If he refuses, we can press him under the pretext of subjugating Green Forest.
However, if you are a non-partisan disciple, the story becomes complicated.
There are many things to consider, and like now, you need to get permission from the nonpartisans first.
After thinking for a while, Dong Yoo-soo opened his mouth.
“A man of longevity.”
“yes.”
“People don’t know about it, but the practitioners and our goldsmiths have been fighting against famous religions for a long time. The fact that Noklim became a member of the Cheonji League was also thanks to the invisible efforts of our Geumui Committee and senior contributors.”
“ah!”
An exclamation flowed from the young woman’s mouth.
It is truly surprising that Geum Ui-wi and Nok-rim’s sister-in-law have done such a thing.
“The imperial family was aware of the harmful effects of famous religions and had been keeping them in check. In the process, North Jin’s sacrifice was great. After that, what North Jin was doing was transferred to South Jin. Namjin is stopping Yumyeonggyo with Yeon Gongja. Unlike Moorim’s Bangpa, who signed a ‘three-year contract’.”
At the words ‘three-year contract’, the merchant Yeonggyeol smiled bitterly.
“Do you intend to tie up seniors with a ‘three-year commitment’?”
“What are you talking about?”
“As I said, Confucius Yen and our Namjin are fighting Yumyeonggyo behind the scenes. But now that the practitioner has become a non-partisan secular disciple, I have a question. Are you going to forbid him from fighting because of the ‘three-year commitment’?”
“Hmm!”
After a while, a voice came out of the young woman’s mouth.
Certainly, Dong Yu-soo’s question was timely.
The Chilpa family and the four generations decided not to be hostile to the famous religion for three years.
If so, it is only natural that we should act together with the non-partisans, even if we are related.
However, it is said that the disciple is negotiating, so it is also blocking.
In addition, Yeonjeokha’s position is unique, so he cannot be called a non-partisan disciple.
Merchant Yeonggyeol, who was agonizing over Yeonjeokha’s actions, found an appropriate answer.
“Traditionally, the main school does not impose the rules of the main mountain on secular disciples.”
In a word, it means that he will not arrest the younger enemy.
Dong Yu-soo’s complexion brightened.
“Are you saying that our golden guards and practitioners can work together?”
“It seems to be a matter for the senior to decide, not me. The non-partisan faction always respects the choice of secular disciples.”
“When you say that, it makes my heart feel lighter. thank you.”
Dong Yu-soo raised an example of gongsu (拱手) to the merchant Yeonggyeol.
If the shaman faction blocked the Yonjeokha, there would be a big setback in the event of Yuan Yuanzhi (元宵節, January 15th of the lunar calendar).
“you’re welcome. Rather, please understand that you can’t help by revealing it. Because a promise is a promise If so, can I call the practitioner now?”
“yes. Please.”
Dong Yoo-soo was polite, unlike the mad attitude he had at first.
Since the non-partisan faction was a disciple under the age of enemies, he had to be treated appropriately.
***
Has it been about half a meal (about 30 minutes)?
The guru of Shangqing Palace brought Yeon Jeok-ha from Wulong Palace.
After seeing Dong Yu-soo and a strange middle-aged man in a romantic relationship, she went to the merchant Yeong-gyeol.
“Did you call me?”
“So, is there any progress in training?”
Merchant Yeonggyeol talked to Yeon Jeok-ha, a disciple of the secular family, as if Dong Yu-soo was showing off.
“Yes, I am working hard.”
“I heard the story of the past from the same person. You did a lot of work behind the scenes with the Golden Guard.”
“Somehow it happened.”
“Say hello to your peers. He has come a long way to meet you.”
“Yes Dongdaein. Long time no see.”
Dong Yu-soo looked at the young man whose face was covered with sores with startled eyes.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw what he was saying.
“Are you really a veteran?”
“Yes, I got some swelling on my face as an aftereffect of poisoning. But the poison has healed, so don’t worry.”
“What the heck…”
Yeonjeokha briefly told about the tangled affair with the Three Jewels Jeolmyeong Tang Yunmang.
“oh my god! So you’re saying that you sent Dan Woon-Mang to the Namyeon guesthouse?”
“I knew I was left with poison. But at Namam Palace, I met Baek Il-wun, the Yakushi Nyorai, and he said it was not poisoning.”
“I’m not addicted, but why is my face…”
“Master said that I was cursed with the words of a famous religious leader. I made a promise to him and didn’t keep it.”
“omg! The curse of the language.”
Dong Yu-soo looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with dazed eyes.
At first, I was dubious, but when I looked at his voice and way of speaking, he was right.
“Master said if I keep my promise, things will get better soon. Because the curse is attached to the aftereffects of poisoning. Now that the detoxification is over, if you keep your promise, things will be back to normal.”
“Is there any difficulty in performing martial arts?”
“Not at all. It’s just the face.”
Only then did Dong Yu-soo let out a sigh of relief.
“ha! I guess I’m lucky out of misfortune. By the way, what was your promise with the famous religious leader?”
Dong Yoo-soo’s face showed slight tension.
If a famous religious leader ordered something that could be harmful to Geumuiwi, that’s why it’s a concern.
“They asked me to catch one of the Baekdu Demons in Myeongwanggyo.”
“You mean you wanted Baekduma-kun who betrayed you?”
“yes. He must have been the meanest.”
“It could be for other reasons.”
“Any other reason?”
The young merchant, who had been listening with a calm face, also turned his gaze to Dong Yu-soo.
“There’s something I really need to get, so don’t you want me to grab it?”
As expected, it is the official’s point of view.
But for some reason, Merchant Ying-gyeol felt that Dong Yu-soo’s words had some truth.
He only asked for the traitor’s head because he insisted on capturing him alive.
By the time the story about Yeon Jeok-ha’s personal life was over, Dong Yoo-soo was out of luck.
“I had a brief talk with the master craftsman before the senior practitioner arrived. Now that a senior practitioner has become a non-partisan disciple, I wonder if I should keep the ‘three-year contract’. Master Jang said that he would not force the rules of the head temple on the disciples of the secular family.”
Dong Yu-soo turned his head slightly to the merchant Yeong-gyeol, as if asking for confirmation.
Then the young lady said calmly.
“right. Not only the non-partisans, but also the chilpa do not force the rules of the bonsan to the disciples of the secular family.”
In fact, Chilpa allowed the secular disciples to live freely. It’s because I can’t ask ordinary people to live like the monks and masters of the main mountain.
“As I said, I need the help of practitioners this time too.”
“I thought it was time for you to come. Did you come close?”
I couldn’t afford to think of the time to move to the opening in winter.
Wang Muyang, who had been silent until now, said a word.
“Originally, the Gold Council does not set a generous schedule to maintain confidentiality.”
I didn’t ask for more to do.
What can I add to the fact that they are working hard to maintain confidentiality?
“Is it okay if I help the golden chair? ‘Three-year contract’ or something like that doesn’t make non-partisan groups difficult, right?”
When Yeonjeokha asked as if to confirm, a smile appeared on Merchant Yingyeol’s lips.
I was deeply moved to see the virtuoso of Green Forest, who ran amok like a wild horse, worried about the shaman.
“Didn’t you tell me? Sokji disciples do not have to follow the rules of the main mountain. You are not a non-partisan guru, but an ordinary person, so your actions are so free.”
Of course, instead, non-partisan factions do not take responsibility for the lives of secular disciples.
After hearing the repeated words of a long-time scholar, he answered Dong Yoo-soo.
“Should I help my brother-in-law (Jin Woo-saeng)? But I hope you don’t reveal who I am.”
“Is it true for Jin Woo-saeng?”
“yes. Just be a non-partisan, so-called disciple, please.”
“Do that. Even if you don’t, everyone will doubt it because you need a magician.”
“Good for you. My doho is Namcheon, so please call me Yeonnamcheon.”
“Okay. If you need a detailed schedule or anything, you can discuss it with Wang Baek-ho.”
Dong Yu-soo pointed at Wang Mu-yang.
“I’m Wang Mu-yang. From now on, you can tell me anything.”
next day.
Master Cheonmyeong, the ruler of Ohryonggung, ordered Yeonjeokha, a disciple of the secular household, to perform ‘Jeokseonjeon (積善修行) doing good deeds in the world’.
Although he is a disciple of a secular family, he is a registered disciple of Cheongbulno, so he needs to practice.
So Yeonnamcheon went down Oryonggung.
