Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 518

Episode 518. When Gong Ji-seop , the ‘hero’ of the new sky and the fallen ‘constellation’,

mentioned Munju, Gong Ji-yu pouted.

“that’s right. Even though our distribution is small, our Munju is accurate in calculations.”

I laughed at the love affair.

For some reason, it seems that Munju is criticizing him for being stingy.

Gong Ji-seop, embarrassed, hurriedly spoke as if to excuse Moon-ju’s position.

“Do you think running a clan is as easy as you think? I should not only think about my position, but also look at the entire Mundo. Imagine that Lord Moon is generous to only a few people. It’s fair to run things like that…”

“Who said what? It’s because they give it little by little evenly.”

Gong Ji-yu stopped talking and whispered to Yeonjeok-ha.

“There is a reason why the members of the crew took it to sell it on the black market. I like all of Moonju, but in that respect, I’m a little bit shy. That’s what I’m trying to do to raise money.”

“Ah…”

He shook his head with an awkward face.

It seemed that it was not normal for the members of the crew to risk their lives to take care of the gallbladder of the ‘longevity immortal bear’.

Gong Ji-seop did not refute any more and just turned away.

It was because the longer he spoke, the more he seemed to insult Munju.

“Still, since I received a lot of help from Yeonsohyeop, I might use it a lot.”

She finished vaguely as if she was not confident.

Seeing that Gong Ji-seop didn’t say anything, it seemed that Moon-joo was really salty.

Finally, the ship docked at the port.

After getting off at the port, Yeon Jeok-ha looked back at the wooden boat with emotion.

It was a difficult sea route to the point where I felt a sense of relief when I stepped on the ground.

I didn’t know that it would be so hard to cross only one river.

How do ordinary people live when even the person at the stage of ‘Yeonheo’ is dangerous?

But it seemed that he was the only one who thought that way.

The villagers who got off the boat swarmed around, chattering as if nothing had happened.

Only the woman who was with the dead man has a gloomy face.

As soon as they were dating, he shook off his thoughts and looked around carefully.

It is a place where there is a wire, so I plan to keep an eye on it.

“Where is this?”

Gong Ji-yu answered his question.

“This is Jogangpogu in Goksu-hyeon. Xiantianmen is in Shanyin County, two days away from here.”

“Ah yes.”

“You want to ride the iron wire?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know if you know, but in the middle of winter, you can’t even go on a railroad. Because the river is frozen solid.”

“Does a river this big freeze?”

“The sea freezes, too. Winter in the Savior is really cold. Even the disciples of the clan don’t go around much, do they?”

“When does winter start?”

“About two months later.”

“Do you go to Guando when the river freezes?”

“What is Guando?”

“It’s a road managed by the state.”

“Ah, you seem to be talking about the public way. that’s right. You have to use the public road.”

“It will take longer if we go by highway, right?”

“Until Hansanju?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know because I haven’t been there, but it will take about three months.”

“It takes about a month longer than the sea route, doesn’t it?”

“Because I often go around the mountains. It will be faster if it goes through the mountain, but because of the beast.”

“Aren’t beasts only in deep places like the Cheongwan Mountains?”

“The wild beast is on every mountain in the Savior.”

At that time, Jung Woo-saeng intervened.

“Are you happy with a beast? If you meet a monster, it’s the end. Even if you are a disciple of a sect, if you do not have a Dharma instrument, you will run away, so it goes without saying for ordinary people.”

“Do you like it?”

Recalling Kang Ho’s Twelve Horsemen, Yeon Jeok Ha asked in surprise.

I didn’t think there would be something like the Twelve Horsemen in this world, but a monster?

“Oh, you don’t even know. When the beings of the ‘God of Life’ fall into the intoxication, they become the monsters of the ‘Half God’. It’s a half deity, but it’s hard for the disciples of the sect to handle it. That’s why they say they avoid it without magic.”

“If it’s a being with a fortune… is it a human?”

“Not necessarily. In the case of a divine beast, the origin is a beast, but it has gained divine status and rises to the ranks of rising gods. There are many cases where divine beasts become monsters.”

“Ah, did I say that Ipshin is a being who has attained divine status?”

“That’s right. Whether it be a human or a beast, it becomes a monster when it gains divine status and falls into the magic spell.”

“Why do you fall in love with coins when you say you’ve become a god?”

“They say that if you forcibly take away your divinity, you can enter the coin incubation.”

Gong Ji-yu opened her eyes wide at Jung Woo-saeng’s straightforward answer.

“Wow! I didn’t know Brother Jung could be so knowledgeable. How did you know that?”

“I heard a bard from Sabeolju speak one day.”

“You saw the Bard of Sabeolju? Blue eyes and yellow hair?”

“Doesn’t the people of Sabeolju sometimes go to Hansanju via Suyakju? Is this spring? I was lucky enough to see a minstrel at a tavern.”

“What did you say?”

Gong Ji-yu’s eyes twinkled.

To ordinary people, the bard of Sabeolju was a mystery itself.

This is why they sang the secrets of heroes and gods yet to be known.

Even the disciples of the sect did not touch the bard.

It is to avoid offending the heroes and gods they sing about.

I just listened silently.

It was important to know at least one more thing about ‘King’s Sky’ now.

“Some say that a new heavenly hero will arrive in the Savior or something.”

“The hero of the new sky? Does this mean that a new sect will finally appear in the sect?”

“I don’t know. However, it is said that the hero of the new sky will judge the ‘corrupt constellation’ and open the ‘door of heaven’. They say there is a shaman who received such an oracle in Sabeolju.”

“’Fallen Constellation’? What is it?”

Jung Woo-saeng lowered his voice.

“Some say it means ‘eight kings’ and ‘nine lords,’ but can you figure it out? These are people who only end up with metaphors.”

“….”

Gong Ji-yu looked at Jeong Woo-saeng with a surprised look.

‘Eight Kings’ and ‘Nine Lords’ are the supreme rulers of this world.

Some of them were from clans, so it was not something the clans would like.

That must have been why Jeong Woo-saeng lowered his voice.

She also muffled her voice.

“But isn’t that a bit misleading? In order to fight the fallen Constellation, you have to open the ‘Gate of Heaven’ and enter the ‘Living God’, right? But to judge and open the ‘door of heaven’? No matter how heroic you are, can you do that with a human body?”

“I know. The shrine maiden received such an oracle.”

“Anyway, is that something you hate at the temple?”

Yeonjeokha, who had been listening quietly since earlier, could not hold back his curiosity and intervened.

“Why do you say ‘King’ and ‘Monarch’ in the ‘Corrupted Constellation’?”

After Gong Ji-yu looked around, he answered quietly.

“I believe that there are stars for ‘kings’ and ‘monarchs’, just as the three moons are named after the heavenly gods. That’s why you think of constellations as connecting them to ‘king’ and ‘monarch’.”

“Then, what about the fact that the sect doesn’t like it?”

“Because among the ‘fellows’ who entered the ‘prosperous world’, there are those who became ‘monarchs’. So, you might take it badly at the temple. I think so.”

“aha!”

It was only then that he could understand to some extent what Gong Ji-yu said.

‘Is a constellation really a god?’

Even in the case of Kangho, the star sound is added to the byeolho, but I have never thought of it literally.

However, the ‘God of God’ here seemed to really mean a divine being.

Gong Ji-seop and his party left Jogang Port and entered the public road.

The road was wide and well paved, so that two wagons could run side by side.

Even the stones on the floor were like flagstones.

“and! Is that flagstone on the road? Are all the highways paved with flagstones like this?”

Then Gong Ji-seop smiled lightly.

“haha! Not all. It is flagstone only near big cities, and most of it is rubble. Far from the city, the soil was just compacted. So just by looking at the highway, you can tell how far it is from the city.”

“aha!”

I looked at the road paved with flagstones with new eyes.

Gongdo, which seemed to be the path to the heavenly realm, approached with a slightly friendly feeling.

I guess I’ve come to realize that this world also has its limits.

On the wide open road, two-two wagons and four-two wagons came and went non-stop.

Gong Ji-yu said to Yeon Jeok-ha, who looked at the carriage with envious eyes.

“I have to take you in a carriage, but I’m sorry. It’s because I don’t have enough money on hand.”

“it’s okay. By the way, do you have a carriage to and from the city?”

I asked in preparation for the time when I went to Jogangpogu, where I was connected.

Now I am walking with Gong Ji-seop and the others, but I didn’t want to do that even when I went alone.

“Every city has a post office. You can get a horse or carriage there. You can get a wagon and ride.”

“Can I get a ride?”

“You can ride a carriage with a horse ticket, just like you can get on a boat with four tickets.”

Jung Woo-saeng pointed to the four carriages passing by and said,

“These four wagons are mostly wagons at post offices that travel to and from the city, and you can ride them with horse tickets. There are many privately owned Idu carriages.”

“Then, can we use the four carriages at the station to go to Hansanju?”

“Yes, but there is the inconvenience of having to change trains in the city. Unlike iron lines that run from state to state, wagons only go to the next city. Of course, that is quite a long way.”

“Do you operate carriages at the post office in winter?”

“There aren’t many customers, so you’ll have to wait a bit for a seat to fill up, but I’ll do it.”

“How many people do I have to fill up to move?”

“Six people ride in the quadrupedal chariot. I know that in winter, even if only three people, half of them, move.”

“How long?”

It was reassuring to know that there were only three of us to set off.

Then Gong Ji-yu said a word.

“Few people leave the city in the freezing cold of Muryangha. You will have to wait a few days to get on the wagon at the post office.”

“okay.”

It seemed like he knew how to use the post office to link up.

If it is winter in two months, the river will freeze on the way to Hansanju.

Then, whether we like it or not, we will have to get a quad carriage from the post station in the city.

When I thought of the iron wire and the quadruped carriage, I suddenly thought of money.

‘If I had 30 kittens, I’d be able to get to Hansanju without incident, right?’

The problem comes after arriving at Hansanju.

It is because there is no guarantee that there is a 10-year-old queen in Hansanju, Namgung-yeon, and even if there is, there is no way to know where she is.

It goes without saying, but finding people costs money. A lot of it too.

‘I need to raise money?’

Yeon-jeok-ha, thinking deeply, asked Jeong Woo-saeng, who was walking next to him, insinuatingly.

“Jung Hyung, what would be good to make money in a short time?”

“If it’s a short time, it’s ‘Yeongji Seoncho’.”

Jung Woo-saeng answered right away as if he had nothing to think about.

“’Yeongji Seoncho’?”

“Because ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ is the most active trade in Guju. If you bring it to the top, you will buy it at a high price unconditionally. At the top, it is handed over to the bell gate. I know the difference is significant.”

“ah! You mean buying it from an individual and selling it back to the sect?”

“That’s right. If you bought it from an individual for 10 gold coins, you get 20 gold coins from the clan and hand it over.”

“Twice?”

“There are also things that get tripled. ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ is not saved by saving it.”

“Do I have to go all the way to the Cheongwan Mountain Range again to find ‘Yeongji Seoncho’?”

Yeonjeokha asked with a serious face.

This is because, depending on his answer, he had to go back the way he had come.

“Not like that. Even in Saneumhyeon, where Hyeoncheonmun is located, there is a place to get ‘Yeongji Seoncho’.”

“Then why did you go all the way to the Cheongwan Mountain Range?”

Kong Ji-yu’s answer was faster than Jeong Woo-saeng’s.

“Originally, ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ is common in areas full of spiritual energy. There is such a place in Saneumhyeon. It’s called ‘Wolaksan’ and it’s a mountain full of spirits.”

“Then why did you go all the way to the Cheongwan Mountain Range?”

“Until three years ago, the Saneumhyeon literati went to ‘Wolaksan’. By the way, did I tell you about the monsters earlier?”

“Could it be because of the monsters?”

“that’s right. Since the ‘One-Eyed Ghost’ settled down in ‘Woraksan Mountain,’ ordinary clans have not been able to enter.”

“’One-Eyed Demon’? Is that a human? Or is it a new species?”

Just hearing the name sounds like a strong demon, but I had to confirm that Shinsu also became a demon.
