Episode 370 If it’s bad news, bring a drink.
The ghost arrived at the street where the Ruinhyangmun Gate was located and looked around.
“….”
At the recommendation of the third child, I changed my clothes neatly on the way. He deliberately wore dark-colored clothes that matched his sword.
Since I came here relying on memory, the road was quite unfamiliar and I felt like I had seen it somewhere before. However, as soon as I found the guest cup where I shared a drink with Unhyangmunju the other day, I knew I had come to the right place.
‘You’ve come to the right place.’
Oddly enough, when I looked at the table, Unhyangmunju’s expression and conversation came to mind. He was a pretty decent guy. So, I thought that the eldest brother or myself rather than the third and fourth children would be the right people to come here.
It was surprising that the table where we sat and talked at the time was in the same place. Looking at the table, I took a moment to organize what I wanted to say to Unhyangmunju.
“hmm.”
The third asked me to tell the story about Hao Wen, but when I thought about it, I thought I should also tell the story about Guangming Wu Temple.
While I was staring at the table, I heard someone’s voice behind me.
“Hello, Teacher Yukhap.”
As the demon turned around, a man he had never seen approached him from across the street, wiping his hands on the towel at his waist. I nodded, thinking that of course he was a subordinate of Yunhyangmunju.
The man approached and pointed to the demon’s waist.
“How about the six swords?”
The Demon Demon answered after holding on to the Six Swords.
“Still, I came to say thank you to Master Moon. This has saved my life many times. It didn’t break or break even when it hit any weapon. “When I saw that it was able to easily deflect heavy weaponry, I realized that I had obtained a famous sword that is really hard to obtain.”
While the demon was speaking, the man who seemed blunt actually smiled broadly. He was a man whose joyful and proud expressions were very evident.
“Fortunately, the. Master Moon will also be happy because this is a long sword that he put a lot of effort into making. “I will guide you, so please go.”
“let’s go.”
The man held out his hand towards the road.
While walking along the road with the man at Yunhyangmun, the ghost felt strange about what he had heard at first glance, so he asked the man a question.
“however.”
“yes.”
The demon stopped walking and then asked.
“When you say that Master Moon put a lot of effort into making it, do you mean that he made it himself?”
The man answered.
“We are each learning skills to make a living. The majority are people who want to become artisans in their own fields. Of course, Moonju is also a craftsman. Moreover, there is nothing to say about the making of the sword. There are more students learning sword making than there are students learning martial arts. Of course, you made it yourself. “I would have had to gift him a good sword.”
The demon, who didn’t know that Yunhyangmunju Yeounbyeok had made the sword himself, took a moment to gather his emotions and expression. I was surprised on the inside, but it was a moment of shame for me to show it.
“I didn’t know you made it yourself.”
The man smiled as if he understood.
“Yes, he is someone who doesn’t express himself well. Please go. You will be very happy to know that you are here. Oh, don’t misunderstand just by looking at that blunt expression. “You always have a blunt expression on your face.”
In fact, it was the same for the demon himself. He nodded and then held out his hand.
“let’s go.”
On the way to Yunhyangmun Gate, several times, ordinary-looking people bowed their heads slightly to the demon, or some even greeted him outright.
“Teacher Yukhap, are you here?”
Every time the ghost exchanged greetings with the mixed group of Mohist craftsmen and disciples of Yunxiangmun, goosebumps constantly ran down his spine.
At one point, the demon grabbed his forehead with his face gaping. It was because the old thoughts that led to my unseemly behavior suddenly passed by.
‘Ah…’
The demon wanted to slap himself in the face, but barely managed to hold back. However, I remembered that my third child would sometimes slap himself in the face. Even the devil himself couldn’t quite figure out why.
* * *
Arriving near the Murim Alliance, Saekma first bought clothes with the money the third child gave him. What I learned after coming here is that most of the men involved in the Murim League were well-dressed. I couldn’t immediately understand the sentiment, but seeing as there were many dry goods stores and repair shops, it didn’t seem like it was just because of fashion or extravagance.
Anyway, the new clothes I bought went well with the horse.
Wearing a light gray military uniform with a royal blue jangsam on top. According to the owner, it is best not to wear white clothes if possible. When I asked why, the reason was that it was a color only worn by people who didn’t work.
Saekma sympathized with the owner’s words, thinking of the white-clothed student.
Without going into the Murim Alliance right now, I snooped around the surrounding area. I felt at ease because there was no teacher for a long time and no third child persistently teasing me for being a poop.
“What do you mean by poop?”
I walked around the streets for a while, looking for a woman to seduce. Flirting doesn’t just mean trying to do something. I guess it just means a woman who can have a cup of tea when the time is right and a drink on a leisurely day. Of course, when a man and a woman drink, they tend to get drunk, and when they look at each other while drunk, feelings that didn’t exist before begin to bloom. While I was thinking about this, I heard someone’s voice.
“Aren’t you Confucius Dream?”
“yes?”
When the demon turned around, a guy with a completely black face approached him. I couldn’t tell if it was a young guy or someone older than me. Not only was his face tanned by the sun, but he also looked like he was born with presbyopia.
The color demon asked.
“who?”
The man grabbed a fist from the slut.
“It is said to be the long mountain of the Murim Alliance.”
The devil responded with a puzzled expression.
“Nice to meet you. Jang unmanned.”
Jang San asked with a smile.
“Have you come to the Murim Alliance? It looks like you came alone. “How are you, Moonju?”
Saekma thought about this as he stared at Jangsan.
‘Why do you bother asking this? ‘You bastard.’
I was thinking of joining the club after looking around a bit, but I never thought that a member walking around on the street would recognize me.
Jang San asked.
“May I guide you?”
“Oh, aren’t you busy? “It’s okay.”
“I’m fine too.”
The demon made a shocked expression and then nodded.
“let’s go. then.”
“yes.”
Saekma walked side by side with Jangsan, but since he didn’t want to talk, he just kept his mouth shut.
“….”
Jang San, who was walking next to me, suddenly whispered:
“Confucius.”
“why.”
“I was also in Haomun for a while.”
“uh?”
“To be exact, I was staying in the Black Cat Room.”
“Ohh? why?”
“no? “Oh, I’m young, so you can speak comfortably.”
“okay. Was it a black island?”
Jang San looked at the demon and answered.
“no.”
“then?”
Jang San answered.
“He was a bandit of the Namak Nokrim Alliance.”
Saekma stopped walking for a moment and then looked Jang San up and down.
“He was a bandit?”
“yes.”
“It doesn’t look like that at all, does it?”
“How do you look?”
The devil answered.
“Murim Alliance Member.”
Jangsan literally smiled brightly at Saekma’s words.
“Oh really? In the past, I heard that everyone looked like bandits. “Even in the Black Cat Room, when my brothers saw me, they asked if I was a bandit from birth.”
As the two headed back to the Murim Alliance, the Saekma asked.
“But how did you become a member? “If I had been a bandit, it would have been difficult to join the alliance.”
This time, Jang San also laughed out loud.
“That’s right. “I don’t know either.”
“You don’t know even though it’s your business? Ah, I guess the third person recommended it.”
“Who is the third?”
The demon answered while scratching the back of his head.
“Hao Wenju. Hao Wenzhou is the third.”
“Oh yeah? Then what about Confucius Mong?”
“I am fourth.”
“Oh yeah.”
Jang San, who had been walking along the road for a while, asked cautiously.
“Do you mean that the third and fourth children are like sworn brothers?”
“Brother-in-law? “It’s similar.”
“envious.”
“I’m jealous.”
Saekma entered the Murim Alliance with Jang San’s guidance and moved very easily to the places Jang San could go. No one stopped him and no one asked him who he was. It seemed like it was because Jang San was in charge of the guide. However, when he arrived in front of Maengjujeon, Jangsan also stopped walking.
“I can’t go in from here either. “I will tell the senior guards in front of me and then I will go.”
The demon nodded.
“Thank you for guiding me. Jang Mu-in.”
Jang San said while looking at the demon.
“I don’t think Confucius Meng and Lord Wen will be curious about me, but could you please tell me something?”
The demon nodded.
“What should I tell you?”
Suddenly, Jang San neatly adjusted his clothes, stood up straight, and looked at the demon.
“Lord Moon, this is Jangsan, who was in the Black Tomb Room.”
“….”
Saekma stared at Jang San’s expression. There are times when people speak with all their sincerity, and that was the expression on Jang San’s face right now.
Jang San said.
“I hear news occasionally. Above all, stay healthy. I have not forgotten Moonju’s words. Thanks to you, I have joined the Murim Alliance and am working hard every day.”
It was a message to Hao Wen-ju, but the color demon had no choice but to ask because he was curious.
“What did Moonju say?”
Jang San chanted in a low tone.
“I was born a wealthy man, so why am I a thief?”
“hmm.”
“I keep these words in my heart. Please tell me that I appreciate it and that I haven’t forgotten it. “Prince Mong.”
The demon nodded without saying anything else.
“I get it.”
“yes.”
Jang San bowed his head slightly, then turned around and approached Meng Zhou Zhen’s guard. Saekma continued to look at Jangsan who was moving after speaking. As Jang San walked, he turned around, smiled brightly at the sight of the sex demon, and pointed to Meng Jujeon. It seemed like a hand signal telling me to come in and take a look. The Saekma also smiled awkwardly and waved his hand at Jangsan, then walked to Maengjujeon, and the guard spoke.
“Confucius Dream.”
“yes.”
“You’ll have to wait a bit because you came suddenly. “Let’s go in first.”
The Saekma entered the battle of Maengju with the Wissa.
* * *
Saekma waited for Han Si-jin in the empty waiting room of Maengjujeon. Now that I think about it, this was the first time I’ve waited an hour to meet someone. However, it is not strange if the opponent is the Murim Lord. Because he must be the busiest man in Kangho. Moreover, if you pay close attention and listen to the sounds, it is not difficult to tell that a meeting is taking place. Occasionally, the shouting of leader Lim So-baek would escape outside. However, the subordinates seemed to have quite a temper, and they objected as loudly as their leader.
‘…Everyone has a temper.’
I remembered Jang San’s words and reorganized what I wanted to say to Maengju. Suddenly, it occurred to me that it was not a normal situation to extort money from the Murim Lord. Could it be that the third guy spoke too easily? I never thought he would suddenly come to the Murim Alliance and say crazy things to the Murim Lord to invest in Haomun.
Will this work?
As the waiting time got longer, Saekma sometimes let out a long sigh.
Who am I and where am I?
Suddenly I heard footsteps and looked up to see members who had left the leader’s office passing by the waiting room. While I was thinking that if I just wait a little longer, I will meet Lord Lim So-baek, a guard appeared and said.
“Confucius Meng, come in.”
“yes.”
The demon got up quickly and headed to the leader’s office. The guard knocked on the door first and reported this.
“Lord Lord, Prince Mengyeon has come to visit.”
“Come in.”
The demon nodded to the guard who opened the door and then entered the office. Lim So-baek, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the sexy horse and said.
“…Mong Lang.”
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
Lim So-baek pointed to Datak with his hand. As the demon looked up, Lim So-baek continued speaking.
“If it’s bad news, bring a drink. If it’s not bad news, bring a pitcher of water.”
“yes.”
Saekma went to the data table and returned to the desk with a water pitcher and a glass of water. Lim So-baek looked at the water pitcher and nodded.
“Sit down.”
When the demon stayed still, Lim So-baek grabbed the glass of water in front of him and lightly tapped it. Only then did Saekma pour water into Lim So-baek’s glass and his own. Lim So-baek drank all the water that Sae-ma had poured for him in one go and then took a long breath.
“I guess it’s not a bad thing.”
The demon also answered after drinking water.
“yes.”
Lim So-baek looked at the sexy demon and said.
“You seem to be stronger than the last time I saw you. Am I mistaken?”
Only then did he calm his expression a little and reply.
“It is true that I have become stronger.”
“Shall we listen?”
When Saek Ma actually faced Lin Sobaek one on one, he was speechless. I organized my thoughts on the way there and thought about it dozens of times in the waiting room, but I couldn’t speak well. Maybe it was because I was looking at Lim So-baek’s heavy expression so closely. Because his mind was in a complicated state, he barely managed to open his mouth.
“Lord.”
After seeing Lim Sobaek nod, Saekma got to the point.
“…Hao Wenju wants some money.”
Lim So-baek looked at the color demon with surprised eyes.
“…!”
As soon as the horse spoke the words, a sigh came out.
‘Ah…’
It was a talent to convey such an important story in words that felt so unimportant. Saekma corrected his words.
“Lord, that’s what it is… I’ll explain it again.”
“Mong Lang.”
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
Lim So-baek pointed to Datak again with his hand.
“Bring me some alcohol.”
“Oh yeah.”
Saekma muttered as he headed toward Datak.
“So this isn’t such a bad thing.”
“It’s noisy. “Bring me a drink first.”
“yes.”
First of all, Saekma moved the alcohol to the leader’s desk. It was a situation where he, not the leader, had to drink alcohol first.
