Episode 533. To go higher.
Looking at what was revealed on the outside, the people of Geumdanmun were right.
I don’t know why, but the one-eyed demon stood in the dark until it was stabbed by Dong Bang-yu.
Then, when Dongbangyu stabbed him, he was so shocked that anyone could tell, he ran away.
So no one refuted the words of Jeong Il-do and Gong-jeong.
From their point of view, the first battle was all that Yeon Jeok-ha did in this fight.
Unfortunately, ordinary people did not know the ‘true view’.
Naturally, they assumed that Yeon Jeok-ha had been swindled by the magic of the one-eyed demon.
I didn’t argue with the words of the people who were in the middle of the day.
I couldn’t figure out the trick the one-eyed demon used, so I just listened to it with one ear and let it go.
After a while, the people who survived the hand of the one-eyed demon gathered together.
When the excitement subsided to some extent, Gong Ji-yu expressed his gratitude to Yeon Je-ha and Dong Bang-yu on behalf of Xian Tianmen.
“I was able to live thanks to the two seniors from Yeondaehyeop-dong. I heard that no one survived the clutches of a one-eyed demon, so I am very grateful.”
“Hey, what did I do?”
He smiled and waved his hand.
Dongbangyu also responded with a smile on his face.
“It’s all about the great agreement. All I did was catch him off guard when the one-eyed demon was focusing on the open daehyeop.”
It was a humble statement, but on the other hand, it was no different than saying that it was he who defeated the one-eyed demon.
Gookjeong stepped out to help with a word.
“I was able to do that because you are my teacher. Other people wouldn’t have been able to get close to the one-eyed horse. I will never forget the sight of Master going alone to defeat the one-eyed demon.”
At the disciple’s praise, Dongfangyu shook his head with a confused face.
“I was just lucky. I think I used up all my luck today. Luck like today will never come again. By the way, will the Yan Daehyeop one-eyed demon come out again?”
“Is it because of collecting Yeongji Seoncho?”
“That’s right.”
Dong Bang-yu nodded at Yeon Jeok-ha’s question.
If it was safe to play foreign music, I wanted to go looking for Yeongji Seoncho for a few more days with my disciples.
“My feeling is that outside music will be safe for a while, but I don’t know. The one-eyed demon will come out as an outsider again to seek revenge…”
“I heard that spiritual creatures and divine beasts do not escape my domain. Wouldn’t a one-eyed demon consider the inner valley as its territory?”
“If I had given up on foreign music because of something a little while ago, that might be the case.”
A certain part of the serialization was affirmed.
Even if the one-eyed demon was a beast, wouldn’t it be faithful to its instincts, since its essence is a beast?
Jeong Il-do, who had been looking for an opportunity to participate in the conversation from earlier, slipped in.
“Since I ran away today, wouldn’t I be stuck in my own evil? I think I would if I had known that people who climbed Mt. Worak were not easy…”
Everyone nodded their heads at his words.
In fact, everyone here wanted that.
This is why Yeongji Seoncho is needed not only for serialization, but also for Geumdanmun and Hyeoncheonmun.
Dong Bang-yu implicitly asked Yeon Jeok-ha.
“What do you plan to do, Yeondaehyeop?”
“I will stay until the food I brought runs out.”
It was adamant to link up.
The one-eyed demon ran away with my evil, but I couldn’t return empty-handed.
It’s okay if you meet the one-eyed demon again.
His last tactic was amazing, but I knew that the ‘poison dragon sword’ would work.
Dong Bang-yu’s expression brightened.
As long as Yeonjeokhaman remained in Oekak, he was not afraid of the single-eyed demon.
“If so, we’ll stay in outer music a little longer. What would you do if you said something like this? When the one-eyed demon comes out, we work together to defeat it.”
He glanced at the complexion of his younger brother.
It is an alliance proposal to defeat it by joining forces.
The dangerous thing in Woraksan Mountain is not the only one-eyed horse.
As soon as Yeongji Seoncho was harvested, outsiders could turn into enemies at any time.
He nodded his head with an indifferent face.
If the one-eyed demon appeared again, it seemed like it would be okay to do so.
“It is.”
“thank you. I wish you all the best.”
Dongbangyu greeted with an exaggerated gesture as if he had concluded a big deal.
It is only natural that a small Geumdanmun teamed up with a large munpa like Hyeoncheonmun.
that evening.
Hyeoncheonmun and Geumdanmun met again at the campsite.
The people of Yeonjeokha and Hyeoncheonmun were the same as before, but the people of Geumdanmun were not like that.
They generously shared the abundant cooking ingredients airlifted from Geumdanmun.
Yeon Jeok-ha and his party did not decline.
It’s because I’m tired of beef jerky, rice, and dried vegetables.
Yeon Jeok-ha and his party squatted around the campfire and grilled chicken.
The chicken, of course, was given by the Golden Gate.
Lee Yoo-hyeon muttered as he tore off a chicken leg that had lost all of its fat and ate it.
“By the way, the people at Geumdanmun are very kind, aren’t they? I heard that the forbidden door is salty, but don’t you think it’s like that?”
Gong Ji-yu said in a calm tone.
“They said they found the body of a white tiger. It was said that the one-eyed demon ate the leftovers, but it was a windfall.”
“A white tiger?”
“It’s not just a Baekho, it’s a ‘supreme’ Baekho.”
“and! What is ‘pension’? It’s as precious as Yeongji Seoncho. I really hope.”
“That’s right. It should have caught our eye. It’s a waste, it’s a waste.”
“Who told you that? Don’t you shush when you get such a treasure?”
“A person named Gu Mo taught me when he gave me chickens. Do you know if it’s only the white tiger? They said they also found ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’.”
“her! Those people are really great. Isn’t that enough to cover ten years’ worth of operating expenses? You can bring me a cow instead of a chicken.”
“Priest, don’t be greedy. That’s their luck.”
“It’s just what I said.”
Lee Yoo-hyeon glanced at the Golden Gate with envious eyes.
It’s a rare windfall even if it’s just a ‘pension’ Baekho, but you can’t believe you’re looking for a ‘one-yeopseoncho’!
Gong Ji-yu, who was chewing on the muck of meat, asked Yeon Jeok-ha as if he had suddenly remembered.
“By the way, when I met the one-eyed demon earlier in Yeondaehyeop.”
“yes.”
“I thought you were saying something, but you weren’t talking to yourself, were you?”
“Your one-eyed demon spoke to you.”
“oh! Really? It is said that divine water communicates with all things, but it seems that it was really divine water! But when did the one-eyed demon speak? It’s not that I don’t believe the words of the Yeondaehyeop. I think I just heard the sound of turejil.”
He pointed at my head with his oily fingers.
“I heard a sound in my head.”
“Ah, in my head…”
Gong Ji-yu looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with half-doubt.
If it had been someone other than him, I would have thought it was bullshit.
But from what I’ve seen, he wasn’t one to lie.
“What does he say?”
They taught me what to do between the two in the proper line of dating.
“…They told me to call him a dog-eyed demon, and from then on, he went on a rampage like crazy.”
An exclamation flowed from Gong Ji-yu’s lips as he listened in raptly.
“and! Originally, the name of the one-eyed demon was Hwa-pung. It is divine.”
“I’ve been curious about it before, but what happens to Shinsoo? It’s not like a beast will enter the realm of a god through training.”
“It’s a bit like a human being. You know that even beasts have ranks, right?”
“Yes, I said grass, wood, copper, iron, silver, and gold.”
“that’s right. If a ‘gold level’ beast absorbs spiritual energy and lives for over a thousand years, it becomes a ‘spiritual creature’. If you absorb more spirit energy there for thousands of years, you will become a ‘new beast’.”
“Thousands of years?”
“Your family members also train to that extent. Beasts are similar. That’s why you can’t deal with beasts unless you’re a disciple of the sect.”
“Why do Shinsoo fight with each other?”
“The disciples of the clan also fight. The nine lords and the three celestials of the eight kings also fought to rise to that position.”
“Then why do you fight when you just train? If you lose your divinity, you might become a monster.”
“To go higher.”
Gong Ji-yu pointed at the night sky densely studded with stars with his finger.
The disciple of the sect has only one goal.
to rise to a higher place.
I train for that, but there is no faster way than to fight and take it away.
“They say training isn’t enough?”
“What would take a thousand years for training is one day if you fight and take it.”
“Can you fight and take the godhead?”
“I heard that the nature of the god is not very different from that of Yeongji’s ancestors.”
“It is terrifying. What kind of world is stealing and stealing like that? Let’s live together in an appropriate line.”
Then Gong Ji-yu said with a straight face.
“A good line? Ordinary people like us live our whole lives stealing and being robbed. Not to mention the disciples of the sect or spiritual creatures.”
“That’s not a good thing.”
“Where is the good and the bad in the nature of nature? Is it bad if a white tiger eats people? Is it okay for a person to kill a white tiger and take its hide?”
He hesitated at Gong Ji-yu’s question.
‘In Gangho, if someone steals someone else’s property, they call it robbery and point fingers…’
Is it true here that stealing and being taken away is natural?
“That sounds like a bit of an out-of-the-way question… If stealing and being taken away is nature’s nature, what about thieves and robbers? Are you still okay?”
“Are you okay? That’s bad. That’s why the officers and soldiers regularly subdue them.”
“I heard that it is the nature of nature to take and be taken away? Why do you say living according to your nature is bad?”
When Gong Ji-yu hesitated, Lee Yoo-hyeon helped.
“There are good and bad things in nature.”
“Oh, I see.”
I didn’t ask for more to do.
Come to think of it, it was all pointless.
In short, you don’t have to lose whoever your opponent is.
When the heat of the conversation subsided and became quiet, Gong Ji-yu spoke as if passing by.
“It’s getting colder.”
I didn’t really feel the love affair of the Hanseo.
“Has it become very cold?”
“Yes, now when the fire goes down, it’s cold enough to wake up. I didn’t do this until a few days ago.”
“okay.”
Somehow, I thought Gong Ji-yu and Lee Yoo-hyeon would not leave the bonfire.
Even after Gong Ji-yu and Lee Yoo-hyeon fell asleep, Yeon-jeok-ha could not easily sleep.
Looking up at the sky, the moon Mahasuracheon on the right was noticeably bright.
This means that winter is approaching.
Did they say, ‘Spring comes around the time everyone wants to freeze to death’?
Before that, I’m worried that I’ll have to somehow find Namgung-yeon, the 10-year-old.
‘You’re doing well, right. sister?’
The couple lying on the ground and looking at the three moons fell asleep.
next day.
Early in the morning, the people of Geumdanmun came to say hello and went up Woraksan Mountain.
Lee Yoo-hyeon, who was watching them walk away, muttered with an envious face.
“They are very diligent people.”
“I know.”
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Gong Ji-yu’s lips.
I don’t know what they are in such a hurry for, because the people who got ‘pension level’ Baekho and ‘Ilyeopseoncho’ are greedy.
Yeonjeokha, who was packing a backpack on one side, asked.
“By the way, what does ‘Thousand Year Snow Lotus’ look like?”
Gong Ji-yu glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.
I don’t know how you know the ancestors of the territorial world of goods that haven’t even been taught.
“Well, it looks like a mixture of chrysanthemum and Chinese cabbage, but it grows only where the snow doesn’t melt all year round. As you can see, there is no such place in outer music.”
“Does it exist in my music?”
“Your snowy mountain is so rough that ordinary people can’t even go there. If even the disciples of the sect are reluctant to climb, you know how high it is, right?”
“Ah…”
He nodded his head.
It is said that it is close to impossible if even the disciples of the sect are reluctant to climb it.
‘Why did those people talk nonsense?’
A light flashed like lightning in the eyes of the frowning young enemy.
‘Huh? That means you’re in a snowy mountain!’
Do you think it will be much easier than other territorial ancestors who can’t even guess where they are buried?
