Episode 183. Manyu (漫遊)
But…
there was something hitting his back with a ‘tap’ sound, and it was the tip of Emperor Ok Tae’s outstretched finger.
Han Ibi was so surprised.
Cold sweat ran down my back.
If it had been a knife, he would have died in an instant.
Ok Tae-je once again shook the new type.
At that moment, Han Ibi realized that his hand was holding her collar.
And the fact that his feet are no longer touching the floor.
The sound of the evil wind heard in Han Ibi’s ears.
Yes.
Han Ibi’s body was now flying towards the wall at an incredible speed.
If this continues, you could hit your head against the wall and suffer serious injury.
After he came to his senses, he immediately displayed the zongli pyopyohang, maintained his balance, and turned his body around.
Then, he placed both feet on the wall, did a big somersault and landed softly.
Emperor Oktae said.
“You’re doing quite well.”
Han Ibi said, lowering her head closely.
“That’s too much praise.”
He said with sharp eyes.
“There is only one warning. Do not try to test your lord. “If he had been from Cheonseong Palace in the first place, he would have been killed right away.”
“sorry. Lord of the palace.”
Absolute intimidation that I felt for the first time since my martial arts level developed!
Han Ibi was able to confirm that she still had feelings of fear.
‘He’s a master on a different level from those I’ve seen so far. damn.’
However, thanks to this, I was able to figure out the opponent’s inaction without resorting to the power of Unsanbeop, so it wasn’t just a futile attempt.
At that time, Emperor Oktae spoke.
“Take care of Su Luzhu. “He is the best talent in Cheonseong Palace, so you will be able to learn a lot from him.”
“of course. “Please just leave it to me.”
“Tomorrow at the monthly meeting….”
Ok Taeje’s sharp eyes flashed towards Han Ibi.
“…If you do something like today again, I will never let you go.”
Emperor Oktae seemed to view the Unsanbeop attempt as a type of witchcraft.
Han Ibi lowered her head and said.
“I will never disappoint you.”
Emperor Okta nodded.
Then, after making a few requests, he suddenly closed his eyes and began practicing.
This means do not disturb.
Han Ibi realized that it was a guest order and quickly walked outside.
“Hwiyu-.”
As Han Ibi walked out the door, a sigh of relief came out of her mouth.
“It really took 10 years.”
I have met many people named Myeong-sook of the Murim League, but I have never felt such overwhelming spirit.
But…
“You came out.”
Surprisingly, the young disciple who had brought him was still waiting for Han Ibi.
Han Ibi asked.
“Are you waiting for me?”
The disciple said while scratching his head.
“yes. That’s right.”
“oh my. “You must have been very busy.”
“it’s okay. Earlier… I heard that you have trouble finding your way…”
“That’s right. “It’s a path that everyone knows.”
“yes? “Is it a good idea?”
“There is something like that. Anyway, thank you so much for your thoughts.”
Han Ibi thought.
‘When I heard about Sapa, I thought there were only bad guys, but that’s not necessarily true. In any case, the characteristics of all the neighborhoods where people live seem to be similar.’
Ebi Han said.
“As you know, my name is Han Ibi. “By the way, what is your name?”
The young disciple smiled and said.
“My name is Lee Baek-hwang (李白凰). “I heard you are new to Cheonseong Palace, right?”
“is it so.”
“If you are the head of Yeohwaru, you are on the same level as the leaders of each party, so you can speak comfortably. “I am a member of the Seolmun Party.”
Han Ibi answered willingly.
“good. “Let’s do that.”
The two people who made such a clear statement walked in silence for a while.
Han Yi-bi was lost in thought as she walked after Baek-hwang Lee.
‘It’s so wide, how can we find Saekmokin, the sworn brother of King Yeseong? From the looks of it, there seem to be a lot of Saekmok people and mixed race people here…’
Han Ibi, who was thinking like that, said.
“I have a favor to ask you.”
Baek-Hwang Lee looked at him and said.
“Please tell me.”
“Please show me around Cheonseong Palace.”
“yes?”
“It’s so wide that you can’t really tell where you are. It’s to the point where I can’t even walk around alone. So, please take me to see the sights.”
Of course, it was to search for a place where Seol Mok-deuk, who is said to be King Yeseong’s sworn brother, might be.
However, Baek-Hwang Lee seemed to hesitate at his request.
In fact, he was only ordered to take Han Ibi to the dormitory.
Ebi Han added.
“Of course, if it’s difficult, you can refuse. Even if I get lost in Cheonseong Palace and become a vengeful spirit, I will never blame you. Promise.”
Then Baek-Hwang Lee said again while scratching his head.
“There won’t be any trouble. Just…”
“Just?”
“…It’s time for me to stand guard.”
“Do you do that too?”
“yes. Since the border area is so large, most of the inspectors are deployed on a rotating basis.”
“Hmm… that could be possible.”
“So… I’ll ask the person who will shift with me to guide the director.”
Han Ibi said with joy.
“oh! “I would really appreciate it if you could do that.”
* * *
Han Yi-bi was waiting for her shift worker in the garden where Lee Baek-hwang took her.
he thought.
‘If possible, I hope he’s a cool guy like Lee Baek-hwang.’
Then I took a quick look around the garden.
A home for artificially created plants.
This scene is quite a contrast to the desolate scenery of Cheonseong Palace.
In accordance with the taste of the Lord Cheonseong, who was fond of strange plants that did not fit in, many unknown flowers and grasses were growing in the vast space.
Tiriring.
[This is a confirmation of the Herbal Encyclopedia DB.]
‘Oh my gosh, here we go again.’
Yes.
It would be nice if I didn’t know the name…
The herbal encyclopedia system keeps ringing.
This is because in this vast garden, in addition to beautiful flowers and trees, many medicinal herbs also grew.
‘When I encounter another world, it would be nice to turn it off for a while, but since there doesn’t seem to be a separate off function, I’ll just ignore it.’
If there had been something worth salvaging, it would have been a different story.
However, unless this was a professional herb cultivation area, such rare herbs were not visible.
Han Ibi was wandering around waiting without any work.
But then a sound caught his ear.
Tiriring.
[This is a check from the Medicinal Herb Encyclopedia DB.]
Name: Gyuocho (叫娛草)
Characteristics: It is a small wild herb approximately 4~5cm in length.
It is difficult to cultivate, so it can mainly be found deep in mountains and fields. It is considered a herb that is very difficult to identify because it does not produce flowers or fruits.
Medicinal efficacy: Kyuochou shows excellent efficacy against delirium tremens. It is also effective in dementia, so you can see improvement if you take it for a long time. If you concentrate this Kyuochou and make it into Hwandan, you can make Hwanbudan (煥部丹), also known as Maradan, and if you take it… there was no need to hear about it after that
.
Because I witnessed it firsthand.
Yes.
The strange Hwandan that Gu Cheonse ate when he infiltrated the Cheongseong Sect and confronted Han Ibi was Hwanbu Dan.
A rare drug that can maximize a person’s body and physical strength.
‘Why is this planted here?’
Han Ibi was very surprised, but quickly looked around.
He bent down and pretended to adjust his shoes and quickly began digging up the kyuochou by the roots.
Just as I was about to pack it into my arms…
“Are you really Commissioner Han?”
Han Ibi, startled by the voice she heard, suddenly raised her upper body.
The lively female voice rang out once more.
“What are you doing here?”
Then, Han Ibi swallowed her saliva in surprise and then stopped talking.
“Kekkeekkek… Ah… that’s not true, I’m… right. “There was some dirt on my shoes, so I was shaking it off.”
Only then was Han Ibi able to look straight at the object in front of her.
He’s very tall and his eyes are blue…
‘Huh? for a moment. ‘Your eyes are blue?’
Yes.
Blue eyes.
Exotic appearance.
A woman with a black eye was standing there, smiling.
But that smile was so beautiful….
Han Ibi muttered without realizing it.
“Why are you so pretty?”
Then the woman laughed once and said.
“I’m a bit like that… but it’s still difficult to say it to my face like this.”
“ah! okay. “I am sorry.”
“There is nothing to be sorry about…”
The woman smiled and continued.
“…Because he is a very handsome man.”
Oh oh.
A shiver runs down your spine.
It was even more thrilling because it was a story told by a slim, beautiful woman from the western region.
‘Oh wait. Now is not the time for me to be like this…’
the woman said at that time.
“You are Commissioner Han from Yeohwaru, right?”
Ebi Han said.
“That’s right.”
said the woman.
“My name is Eunhwadam of Seolmundang. Now, let’s go.”
Han Ibi was surprised and asked back.
“yes?”
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Where?”
“I heard you asked for it?”
“yes?”
Then Han Ibi soon realized something and said.
“No then! Is there anyone who is Lee Baek-hwang’s colleague…”
“That’s right, it’s me. Didn’t Baek Huang talk about this guy? We are very close friends. “I was initiated on the same day.”
“ah. “There was a story like that.”
A woman named Eunhwadam smiled, revealing her neat teeth, and said.
“I’m the kind of person who can’t stand boring things. So I thought it went well.”
“Ah…haha. okay. Still… isn’t there such a thing as being wary at first sight?”
“Border? Are there any boundaries or meanings between people of the same natural sign? Don’t do this here, go quickly. “I will guide you to the most fun places possible.”
“Ah… yes.”
Han Ibi was almost dragged out of the garden by this sexy girl.
* * *
Han Ibi yawned.
The inside of Cheonseong Palace was so vast that it made your mouth drop… but that’s
because it was all there except for the first few times.
The place Han Ibi wanted was a dark and secret place… but
the places she took her to were all places open to the public.
‘What could be wrong with her? My thoughts were only brief. Anyway, I should at least familiarize myself with the route and travel alone later.’
This woman named Eun Hwa-dam was optimistic and cheerful by nature, so she was very excited as she introduced the place to the place by herself.
She had just finished introducing the library of Cheonseong Palace.
“They say there are thousands of martial arts secrets in there. “It’s really amazing, isn’t it?”
Han Ibi said harshly.
“You can’t go in, so there’s nothing to be surprised about.”
“But you built the library really beautifully. “Even though it’s incredibly old.”
“well… In my opinion, it is much smaller than Eun Sojeo…”
At that time, Han Ibi was surprised to find Eun Hwa Dam looking angry.
Eunhwadam said.
“Commissioner Han. Do you have any complaints against me? “If you don’t want to go together, let me know.”
Then Han Ibi waved both hands and said.
“oh my. Could that be possible? “It’s an honor just to be with you.”
“You are literally just a mouthful. “He’s no different from any other good-looking people I know.”
“Ah… haha. silver soger. “That was a compliment, right?”
Eunhwadam took a sharp step forward.
And that too, with great strides.
Then Han Ibi had no choice but to quickly chase after him.
“sorry. I didn’t mean that…”
She put a finger to her lips as if to tell him to be quiet.
A small, compact building next to the library.
Han Ibi said in a whisper after seeing that.
“It looks like… some kind of shrine.”
Eunhwadam also spoke in a whispering voice.
“It’s a shrine.”
“yes?”
“It’s the Ok family shrine. “I mean the palace lord.”
“Ah…but why do you have to whisper like this?”
“That’s right…”
Eun Hwadam quickly turned her head to look at Han Ibi and said.
“…I’m afraid I’ll wake up the ghost by talking loudly.”
Her moist eyes seemed to shine even more clearly.
