Episode 535. can you live without money
After three days, the change in the weather became noticeable.
The campsite was covered in frost and it was cold enough to see your breath in the daytime.
The price of daily necessities that street vendors brought from the village to sell jumped up to three times.
Now even the warriors did not complain about the price of goods.
Rather, he concentrated on digging up Yeongji Seoncho by any means until the end.
around dusk.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who had reached the top of the mountain, spoke to the party.
“I’m just going down today.”
“yes.”
A bitter smile appeared on Gong Ji-yu’s lips as he answered.
There was no income for a whopping 15 days.
I know this is normal, but my whole body is drained of energy.
Yeonjeokha, who was accustomed to external music, took the lead.
No one opened their mouths, perhaps because they were mentally exhausted.
Did it go down halfway?
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was sitting on a rock and resting for a while, said a word as if he was frustrated.
“Is there a Yeongji Seoncho in outer music?”
Of course, that’s just talk.
At night, the chattering sounds of the warriors who collected ‘Il-yeopseoncho’ resonated in the campground.
Lee Yoo-hyeon, the youngest, answered without notice.
“Yesterday, Jeong Moo-moon from Indeok-hyeon drew ‘Il-yeop-seoncho’, so it must be there.”
Gongji shook his head lightly as he looked at Lee Yoo-hyeon.
The munpa who saved Yeongji Seoncho celebrate themselves every night, but who knows?
Like ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’, if you seek a Seon-Cho from a yawning region, they brag about their luck noisily.
What people are talking about is a product.
Everyone was extremely careful, as products aroused the covetousness of other sects.
“But why can’t we see it!”
At Yeonjeokha’s sigh, Lee Yoo-hyeon secretly turned his gaze to the sky where the sunset was shining.
After grumbling for a while, Yeonjeokha stood up again.
Had he been ten steps ahead?
Lee Yoo-hyeon, who was following from the rear, inadvertently looked behind the rock where Yeonjeokha was resting.
Not for any particular reason.
It just happened that the gaze went there.
By the way, do you see a sharp blade of grass in a concave place under a rock?
‘Is it a leek?’
Even Lee Yoo-hyeon, who is well versed in herbalism, thought so at first.
Since it was a rock close to the mountain road, it was a perfect location for people to rest and go.
A little while ago, he sat down on that rock where he had a rivalry and even sighed, saying, ‘Then why can’t we see it!’
Since it is in such a conspicuous location, it cannot be the beginning of Yeongji.
When I thought of ‘leek’, my heart thumped resentfully.
Lee Yoo-hyeon quickly approached the rock.
When I got closer, I saw that it was shorter than a leek, but there were two rows of golden dots in the center of the stem.
It was ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’.
In an instant, Lee Yoo-hyeon raised his hands and shouted without realizing it.
“’Il-yeop-seoncho’ daaaa!”
At that sound, Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-yu, who had gone down that far ahead, ran like the wind.
Lee Yoo-hyeon, who hurriedly dug up a root, showed it in front of Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-yu.
Gong Ji-yu’s mouth widened when he saw that.
“oh! Is it really ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’?”
Gong Ji-yu was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down, but he couldn’t.
It’s because of Yeonjeokha’s eyes.
It’s not like raising drugs, but what is there to be found under the rock he was sitting on a moment ago?
According to the promise, what Yoo Yu-hyeon found was Hyeoncheonmun.
So, I couldn’t just celebrate the priest’s luck.
My stomach was sore that I was in love, but it hurt, but I tried to say it with a calm face.
“congratulation.”
Lee Yoo-hyeon, who belatedly recovered his emotions, looked up at Yeon Jeok-ha with a shy face.
“Well, it’s okay to just say that Yeon Dae-hyeop discovered it…”
Anyway, from his point of view, it was all the same whether he gave it to Hyeon Cheon-mun or gave it to Yeon Jeok-ha.
However, to Yeonjeokha, who practiced the law, the promise was more important than a thousand pieces of gold.
“I promised, so I can’t.”
I sat down on the trunk of a nearby tree and waited until he had finished digging up the ‘Il-Yeop Seoncho’.
The ‘Ilyeopseoncho’ collected by Lee Yoo-hyeon has twelve roots.
He pretended to be calm, but it was rather conspicuous and made the younger enemy sad.
that evening.
Yeon Jeok-ha and his party cooked and ate chowder and rested early.
After 15 days, Lee Yoo-hyeon wrote ‘Ilyeopseoncho’, but the atmosphere did not improve.
In particular, Gong Ji-yu felt uncomfortable.
Despite being bright in herbalism, he was embarrassed because he could not help.
Yeonjeokha, who was throwing branches at the bonfire, said.
“I’ll finish the foreign music today. Tomorrow, I’m going to go to the snowy mountains by myself.”
“….”
Gong Ji-yu and Yoo Yu-hyeon nodded their heads with faces that said something had come.
Considering the sudden drop in temperature, I wanted to object, but no one did.
Gong Ji-yu asked cautiously.
“Do you really think I don’t have to go with you?”
“yes I’m okay.”
“Yes….”
Gong Ji-yu felt sorry for not being of any help at Worak Mountain.
At least today, ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’ is the same.
It could have belonged to him if he had found it first.
Missing it was my own mistake.
Unlike him, who is a beginner, he would have known just by passing by.
‘ha! Even the sky is indifferent.’
Gong Ji-yu, who was sighing, glanced at the enemy enemy.
Can he, who did not even recognize the ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’ in the immediate vicinity, find the ‘Millennial Snow Lotus’ in the snowy mountain?
“why?”
Gong Ji-yu shook his head at Yeon Jeok-ha’s question.
“no. I’m just worried about the one-eyed demon.”
“are you okay. They use strange tricks, but they can’t do anything to me.”
“We will wait for the return of the grand agreement opened here.”
“Thank you for doing so.”
The long-eyed, dark-eyed couple did not hesitate.
To be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to go all the way to Hyeoncheonmun in Saneumhyeon by myself.
the next morning.
The people of Gosanmun did not move even after preparing for the hike early.
I heard that Yeon Jeok-ha said last night that he would go to the snowy mountain.
Baek Seol-heon said with a slightly tense face.
“Master, it’s winter soon, isn’t it a bit late?”
Even if the one-eyed demon was driven out of Naeak, there was not much time left anyway.
You can only be in Woraksan for a day or two.
Only now, I have no idea of Yeon Jeok-ha’s intention to enter Naeak.
“Does not matter. What we’ll take is the reputation of exorcising the one-eyed demon. You can try again next spring to save Yeongji Seoncho.”
There were already munpa who were withdrawing.
There is no possibility of saving Yeongjiseoncho in a day or two, so this year should be considered over.
Kwak Cho-seong was more curious about why Yeon Jeok-ha went to Naeak at such an end.
‘It must have something to do with the one-eyed demon that disappeared, or something hidden.’
Whether it’s fame or something that’s hidden, there’s no way you’re going to take it all by yourself.
At that time, Shin Seong-ho brought four people.
Lee Hak-joo, the man who seemed to be the oldest among them, hurriedly asked.
“What is the death penalty? When I asked him, he just said he would know when he goes.”
When Lee Hak-ju pointed at himself, Shin Seong-ho smiled and slipped behind him.
Kwak Cho-seong told Lee Hak-joo the story after biting the people around him.
“…So I want all of Gosanmun to go to Naeak together.”
“Winter is starting soon, so let’s go to Naeak right now? Is that something you’re not sure about?”
“Anyway, if you haven’t been able to save Yeongji Seoncho so far, the rest of the day or two will be the same. Rather than that, I think it’s more certain to follow the younger brother.”
Lee Hak-joo shook his head excitedly.
“I think the death penalty is insane. All of a sudden, what about the one-eyed demon and the snowy mountain?”
“How many disciples do you think will flock to Geumdanmun for defeating the one-eyed demon in Outer Music? Even if I can’t do it, ten people will go this winter alone. What if we expelled the one-eyed demon from Naeak? Even if I can’t, about a hundred people will come. It means that money similar to that of Yeongji Seoncho is rolling in.”
It was only then that Lee Hak-joo made a tempting face.
“What about the forbidden sentence? If that’s true, they’d be aiming for it even at the forbidden door.”
“I watched Yeonjeokha and Geumdanmun for the past few days. Seeing that they don’t even come and go, it seems like they broke up. In the Golden Gate, I had fun in outer music anyway, so I won’t have any regrets.”
“So, let’s work together with Yeon Jeok-ha to resolve internal evil at Gosanmun Gate?”
“All you have to do is catch Yeonjeokha in Naeak and ask him about the one-eyed demon. If the forbidden door falls off, he will do as we ask.”
“Even if he sticks out his flippers all the way, there won’t be any loss. You can think of entering Naeak faster than others and finding Yeongji Seoncho.”
“That is what I want to say.”
“hmm! All right. If so, I will join.”
Lee Hak-joo made up his mind.
If Yeonjeokha enters Naeak, it is clear that there is no single-eyed demon in Naeak.
Who else would venture into the realm of one-eyed demons on their own without being insane!
The Yeonjeokha group moved after breakfast.
For Yeonjeokha, who is dark in geography, Gong Ji-yu and Yoo Hyeon-hyun accompanied them to the entrance of Naeak.
“If you go over that mountain in Yeondaehyeop, you will see a mountain with a white peak on the right. That’s snow mountain. It takes about two hours (four hours) to reach the snowy mountain, so you’ll have to hurry.”
“Yes yes.”
The long-eyed, dark-eyed rival nodded his head vigorously.
It’s fortunate that you can see the snowy mountain if you go over just one mountain.
If the explanation to visit had been a little longer, it would have been embarrassing.
“Then go. We’ll go back after collecting in the outer music like before.”
“I hope the Yeondaehyeop will have good results.”
Lee Yoo-hyeon bowed his head.
How frustrated and in a hurry would he even think of searching the snowy mountains!
I screamed that I had found ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’ in front of him
.
Lee Yoo-hyeon asked as he watched the back of Yeonjeok-ha, who was moving away.
“By the way, why is sister-in-law Yeon Dae-hyeop hanging herself like that? He is so good at martial arts.”
“I need money. a lot.”
Gong Ji-yu turned around with a bitter face.
I couldn’t say that I was raising money to find a wife.
“why?”
“How can you live without money?”
“Oh no.”
“That’s it.”
“Still, isn’t it normal to have a lot of money when you’re in the position of Yeondaehyeop?”
“ha! I know. Why is Yeondaehyeop so low on money? I am also curious.”
Gong Yoo let out a long sigh.
When I think of his situation, my heart is filled with tears.
Why did his wife leave the house for such an ignorant child-like person?
‘Why are you looking for someone who has left the house like that?’
If it were me, I would never leave a man like that.
A group of people rushed towards her as she walked with a deep sigh.
They are the people of Gosanmun.
Gong Ji-yu, who belatedly recognized Kwak Cho-seong, hesitated.
However, the seven masters of Gosanmun passed by the two as fast as the wind.
Lee Yoo-hyeon asked Gong Ji-yu, who was blinking his eyes, wondering what was going on.
“Why do the people of Gosanmun go to Naeak?”
“I want to ask.”
Gong Ji-yu shook his head.
They are as mysterious as the past of Yeonjeokha.
To run like that to the inner evil that the one-eyed demon is holding on to.
