Episode 827. Who said Murim was the first?
Eastern Sichuan.
Tagang, Jintang County.
As soon as they crossed the river, the top officer of the guild called the escort commander.
“Did you call? Acting Chief.”
“There are a lot of people drowning, so let’s dry our clothes in a suitable place before going. Is there a place like that?”
“If you are talking about a big village, you have to go in about 20 li (about 8 km) along the road.”
The high priest frowned.
“If I go another 20 li in this cold, everyone will suffer from a cold. Let’s rest for a while and go somewhere where we can light a fire.”
“All right. We will find a suitable seat.”
Hahuchan Daeju immediately turned his horse’s head and took the lead of the group.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before a field appeared, surrounded by thickets like a folding screen.
It is a place that fits the conditions the agent was looking for, as there are only a handful of trees to light a fire.
Xu Huchan got out of Guando and entered the field.
Caravans and porter merchants followed, looking like defeated soldiers.
After a while, when the carriage settled down, Ha Hu-chan ordered a break.
Someone made a fire and someone picked up wood from the copse.
Hundreds of people were moving, but it was strangely quiet.
Everyone was exhausted and out of breath, at a loss for words.
The wagon and the people around him were the same.
They didn’t even open their mouths the whole time they lit the fire.
The young enemy, who was not able to see it, asked the coachman.
“mister. Isn’t that too quiet?”
“Oh, that’s…”
The coachman, who hesitated for a long time, lowered his voice.
“Isn’t Namcheon Grand Gorge too strange? The weather is so cold it’s almost freezing. But I don’t know why it was so warm only when crossing the river. Everyone says it’s a prank by a ghost who died in the river.”
“Oh no way.”
“Think about it. Isn’t it the weather right now where the ice melts? Have you crossed the river and come a mile (about 400 meters)? It was so cold that my wet clothes froze. But why does only river water melt so much?”
“That is a little strange. yes? Old Sim?”
“When I heard it, it was very strange. Was it really a prank of the water ghosts?”
My heartache had developed a bit in that direction due to the bizarre experiences I had in recent years.
His speech is well developed, but he looks slightly frightened, not befitting his age or reputation.
Yeon Jeok-ha laughed heartily at the strange sight of such heartache.
“Old Sim. Why is a man who has lived long enough to be so frightened? Aren’t you old enough to be friends with ghosts?”
“A ghost and a friend? Don’t joke like that. I have never seen a person do well by hanging out with a ghost.”
Due to heartache, the story went over to the ghost.
One by one, people gathered around the campfire and shared their experiences.
that’s when
The sky, which had been blazing with the sun, suddenly began to darken.
The coachman said nonchalantly.
“It’s not a goblin’s joke, why is the weather like this?”
Even if not, the people who were immersed in ghost stories have more nervous faces.
Soon after, the snow began to pour.
From the position of the upper class who fell into the river and came out, it was like a lightning bolt.
The top group was stranded in the field due to the blinding heavy snow.
The escort ran and shouted to prepare camp.
It seems that he is going to take a break because he is afraid that a big accident will happen if he moves too hard on his wet body.
The coachman moved the wagon that had been parked little by little to form the shape of the letter Pumja.
He might end up homeless after seeing snowfall, so he prepared at all.
The agent’s tent.
Deung Won-yong stared at the field with perplexed eyes.
Thick frozen ice melts and falls into the river, and as soon as it crosses the river, it becomes a heavy snowfall.
I’ve been to a lot of ups and downs, but this is the first time I’ve run amok because of the weather.
“ha!”
As he burst into the shooting ceremony, he asked the attendant of Jinuijeong.
“Did you say you lost three wagons and ten porters?”
“That’s right.”
“Are the merchants all right?”
“The backpack he was wearing was lighter than the porters, so he seems to have escaped anger.”
“Tsk! What is your affiliation?”
“The wagon belongs to our gold merchants, but the porters are people brought by other merchants.”
“I see.”
Deung Won-yong thought he was fortunate in his misfortune.
This is because if the porter belonged to the Gold Shop, he would have to provide consolation money to the rest of his family.
“If Namcheon Daehyup hadn’t helped, I would have suffered a terrible disaster.”
“Did you support the floor with a strange technique?”
“That’s right. According to eyewitnesses, it was an enormous sword.”
“The escort is said to be a swordsman. Although I am a merchant, I think I know how to distinguish between swordsmanship and magic. I don’t know why they call it a swordsman.”
“Isn’t that the pride of an unmanned man?”
“Is it like that too?”
Wonyoung nodded his head.
The position of a sorcerer in Gangho is quite low. So instead of magic, it must have been called swordsmanship.
“It was a divine move to attend Namcheon Daehyeop.”
“I know. I gathered to stop the greening island, but to receive this kind of help. They say life is about not knowing what’s ahead, and that’s exactly what it looks like. Anyway, how’s the weather? Do you think it will continue to snow?”
“That’s kind of odd. Isn’t it normal that it should be dark before heavy snowfall? However, there was no cloud until a while ago, and suddenly it looked like this… I can’t guarantee how much more it will rain in the future.”
“hmm!”
A heavy sigh escaped from the dragon’s mouth.
As Jin Eui-jeong said, he had no idea what the weather would be like.
“I heard that there is a village twenty li further. What do you plan to do?”
Qin Yi-jeong examined the complexion of Deng Won-yong.
If it’s twenty miles away, it’s far, if it’s close, it’s close.
‘Are you rushing? Do you watch the situation from a safe place?’
“First of all, the clothes are wet today, so it seems appropriate to rest and dry them. Let’s think about tomorrow’s work tomorrow.”
“All right. I will answer those who ask about my future schedule.”
Deungwon-yong watched the snow piling up in the field with complicated eyes.
When the snow piles up more than two feet (about 60 cm), you become stranded and isolated.
Maybe tomorrow you will have to make a decision you don’t want to make.
I took out the tent from the warehouse “Mahadam” in the space to be stacked.
This time, I didn’t even ask, but the coachmen took care of themselves and set up the tent.
A plank was laid out in the tent for mating, and a futon was spread over it.
It’s still midday, but it’s dark outside and no one’s walking around, so they’ve even prepared a bed.
Simtong, who saw the futon, said with a poodle poodle smile.
“Hehe, Gongja. Aren’t you getting ready for bed too early? Then, what are you going to do when I tell you to leave?”
“Old Sim has to walk quickly. Could it be that you just wanted to cross your arms and watch?”
“no.”
Heartache blamed himself for saying something useless.
At that time, a thunderous sound was heard from the sky.
At this point, Shim Tong quickly changed the subject.
“The weather isn’t too bad, is it? This is the first time the weather has turned bad so suddenly.”
“I know. I haven’t lived long, but I’m seeing it for the first time.”
“At this rate, I think it will continue to snow tomorrow, right? I wonder what the acting manager will decide.”
“I’ll ask you to go when the snow stops.”
“Snow piled up like this, should we go?”
Then, the coachmen who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two in the corner spoke one word at a time.
“If you are the acting chief, you will ask to go.”
“Won’t you know if the snow piles up to the top of your head? You will go even if it piles up to your chest.”
“really?”
Yeonjeokha looked at the coachmen with surprised eyes.
The coachmen nodded their heads in unison.
As a habit, the acting manager who said ‘crisis is an opportunity’ was a person who would remain.
For a while, the coachmen, who had been competing to talk about the manager, became quiet as if they were tired.
I crouched down at the entrance of the mating tent and looked out.
The snowstorm showed no signs of stopping.
A heartache approached him as he sat idly.
“You said you were taking a break, so why are you doing that?”
“I thought of the Savior. I remember? This is how it came when it snowed in Kuju.”
“That’s right. Seeing the snowflakes reminded me of the Savior, too.”
“Come and go, without a word, we suddenly left. Will everyone be fine?”
“I will. Aren’t they strong enough for that?”
“What is that?”
“Meet and part.”
“That’s right. Old Sim has a sharp edge sometimes.”
“Not sometimes, but often. The person who does that sometimes is Confucius.”
“Even at that age, he still burns with a sense of triumph. Anyway, what are you going to do with that blood?”
“It’s not a sense of goodwill, it’s about correcting the distortion.”
“Shut up. Do you remember when I told you to look at the water in the river earlier?”
“yes. Anything?”
“What can I do with old Sim’s spirits?”
“Did Confucius feel something different?”
“I heard a demigod in the Savior.”
“It was.”
“I also checked the ice when entering the river. It was really frozen. I did, but it melted quickly and cracked? Do you think this is possible?”
“Ice can be different from what it looks like on the outside. So there are many accidents. What you see may not be everything. That’s what I mean.”
“That’s something everyone knows. listen more You suddenly gained weight when you passed the middle of the river. The coachmen are sweating profusely. Water melts on top of ice. I remember?”
“It was a bit odd.”
“Is there a magic method that can melt frozen river water in the blink of an eye?”
“Is there?”
“As far as I know, none. How can you melt it in this cold weather? And in that short amount of time.”
“That’s all right. The ice was weakly frozen and then melted in the sunlight.”
“I meant that it was impossible in the human realm.”
“Then, Confucius-nim, is it possible?”
“I never learned to do that. If you learn it, maybe you can.”
“Hmm! If it’s a technique of that high level, could it be the work of a famous religious leader?”
I looked at Yeonjeokha with shocked eyes.
A magician who transcended the human realm came to mind at once.
Considering what the famous religious leader had done so far, there was more than that.
“A famous teacher?”
I tilted my head in a row.
Why would a famous religious leader who is said to be living in seclusion somewhere suddenly do such a thing!
“Doesn’t even a famous religious leader know by now that Confucius has returned from the Savior? I guess I’ll hide and test how strong Confucius has become?”
“It could be, but…”
“What bothers you?”
“A while ago, in the river, I sprayed spirit energy in all directions of fifty li. But it didn’t take anything. It means that he escaped in the meantime or cheated on my aura. I don’t think the inaction of a famous religious leader is that much?”
“That’s it again. Then who will it be?”
“Is there anyone in Gangho who is stronger than the famous cult leader?”
“If you look for it, you will find it.”
“there is? who?”
“It’s the Demonic Cult.”
“Is there someone in the Demonic Cult who is stronger than the famous religious leader?”
Then the heartache let out a deep sigh and said.
“ha! No matter how much Confucius is the first in Murim, that’s the case. You can’t do it if you don’t know the magic cult. If the famous bridge is the river, the demonic bridge is the river. ocean.”
Then, the hot-headed Yeonjeokha shot at him.
“Who said Murim was the first? A person who traveled all over the continent just because I caught the Twelve Horsemen!”
