Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 152
Episode 152
I don’t think it would be a surprise if the crooked sign fell down right away. The spider webs scattered here and there made me feel like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
The scenery, which was nothing short of ruin, made me think that it might be a place where ghosts from stories live.
This was Hoyeonse Street, which sold Shaoxing liquor, which was once a specialty of Dongdong Lake in Akyang, Honam.
The faded glory of the past has already disappeared and no longer exists, but since it has dominated the winery of Akyang for a long time, the name written on the plaque is still clearly engraved.
“Hoyeonsegara….”
“Yes! “It’s here!”
Geuminhak answered while wiping away his cold sweat.
I had already heard the story and knew.
The fact that he was pushed back in a power struggle with the Chumun family and was later attacked by someone and suffered a blow that was close to extinction.
Although it was an abandoned house that no one even visited anymore.
“Is this really here?”
Dan Woo-hyeon asked back with a sullen expression.
Even when he thought about it, he couldn’t understand it at all.
There wasn’t even a trace of anyone inside.
A place where even beggars don’t seem to live here.
Moreover, the cold wind blowing from inside was chilling. It was clear that if someone had stayed in a place like this, they would have frozen to death.
“It’s definitely true.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked disapproving at Geum Eun-hak’s answer, but stretched out his hand as if he had no choice. I gently pushed the gate, which seemed like it wouldn’t be surprising if it collapsed right away.
Wow!
A strange sound stimulated my ears.
I heard a scratching sound for a while, and then boom! And the door fell down.
Dan Woo-hyeon and Geum Eun-hak broke into a cold sweat.
No matter how ruined Sega is, at least fix the door.
“Are you there?”
Geum Eun-hak, who entered first, shouted.
I came from Agyang to Hoyeonse. Since the distance was quite long, one city had to move a lot and meet at least three people.
But there was no sign of anything inside.
The moment you sigh because you can’t even hear a sound.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was behind him, turned his head.
“who are you?”
This was a woman who had just recently entered into a contract.
Her long hair was matted as if she hadn’t taken care of it properly, and the clothes she was wearing looked like rags. My hands turned red, probably because of the cold, making me think that I might have frostbite.
The gaze of the woman, who was quietly watching Dan Woo-hyeon with an old basket around her waist, looked somewhat complicated.
“Who are you?”
“…I asked first.”
The woman gave a puzzled look to Dan Woo-hyeon’s question.
You break into someone else’s house and then ask the owner who he is? I even wondered if something had happened to my mental state.
“I am Dan Woo-hyeon.”
“It’s Hoyeonji. “I am the owner of this house.”
“…there were people living there.”
“You’re just saying something rude.” Ho Yeonji frowned.
Of course, from the outside it looks like an uninhabitable place, but if you go inside, there is a comfortable space where at least one person can rest.
Isn’t that enough to live alone?
Feeling a bit annoyed, she put down the basket and crossed her arms.
“Now then, can you explain?” Looking at Hoyeonji, Geum Eun Crane nodded.
In the innermost part of a place that was not strange even though it was an abandoned house, there was a small space where one person could barely lie down.
Since the place was not even suitable for welcoming guests, Dan Woo-hyeon and Geum Eun-hak sat on the veranda outside.
The woman greeted the two by offering them two glasses of water, as if she had nothing else to offer them.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked around and nodded.
This place seemed like a space just for one person.
Of course, although it may not have been an aesthetically pleasing sight to others, it looked quite different in Danwoohyun’s eyes.
Also, there was a smell everywhere.
It was the scent of medicinal herbs.
It seemed like a collection of medicinal herbs from the mountains and fields.
“It’s a nice place.”
“Could you please stop being sarcastic?”
Dan Woohyun chuckled.
I didn’t really intend to do that, but it seemed like a bad impression was firmly established.
“The smell of medicinal herbs is strong. Are you trying to open a dressing room?”
“Originally, my family came from congressmen. “Alcohol became famous simply because our elders loved making alcohol so much.”
Hoyeonji shrugged his shoulders.
Although his family had collapsed and he was living alone in a place where he could not rely on anyone, he still had some of his family’s books left.
So, I was learning acupuncture and pharmacy in order to do something in the future.
It was nothing more than an action to survive, not to regain the prestige of the Hoyeon family of the past.
“Right. “I came here because of the rumor that Hoyeonse is famous for its alcohol.”
“There are a lot of people like you. There are also people who go out of their way to make alcohol for them. “But it’s impossible.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t make alcohol.”
My family was ruined because of alcohol.
Of course, it happened when I was young and I had no idea what was going on at the time, but now I know that the reason my parents died and the reason my family became like this and that it was no longer possible to recover was because of alcohol.
Therefore, the mere sight of alcohol made me feel uncomfortable.
“It looks like you don’t know how to make it.”
“Yes, there is no use provoking me like that. “Because I will never make it.”
Hoyeonji chuckled.
How many people do you think come here?
Even rich merchants and high-ranking officials sent people, thinking about the alcohol they drank in the past.
But she was not tempted by money and refused them all.
I know that if I touch alcohol again, there will be no turning back.
“Those hands make the liquor, so cut them off. “It’s your tongue that tastes alcohol, so pull it out and throw it away.” A man’s voice came to mind vividly.
Even though I was young, I remember it clearly.
The faces of the parents who were screaming and suffering.
A masked but vaguely familiar man.
That scene still lingered in her mind, scaring her.
Ho Yeon-ji’s complexion turned pale in an instant.
“They say the Hoyeon family’s liquor was the best in the central region
.”
“It used to be like that. “The scandal family is the best right now.”
She brushed it off with a tone of voice that did not show the slightest concern. However, when she brought up the story about the Chumun family, I felt her voice tremble for a moment.
“Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also nodded. Then he slowly stood up and walked towards a corner that he couldn’t see clearly.
There were several broken liquor
jars, and it must have been recently broken, so I could see liquor trapped among the fragments.
The moment Hoyeonji was startled, Danwoo Hyun casually stretched out his hand and drank it.
“It’s not as good as I thought, but it’s okay. But it’s true that the Chumun family’s alcohol tastes better.” Hoyeonji frowned.
It wasn’t made to get that kind of evaluation. It was just something I made to celebrate my parents’ death anniversary by offering a drink to their graves.
I broke it because I knew it didn’t taste the same as before.
‘I didn’t make this to be compared to the scandalous family…’
Still, perhaps because of hurt pride, Yeonji Ho turned his head.
“But it seems like a possibility.” Jumping and jumping –
Dan Woo-hyeon slowly approached her and stood in front of her nose, as if his heart was being held captive.
He sat down to match her height and gazed intently into Ho Yeonji’s eyes.
The moment she saw the faint smile on his lips, Ho Yeon-ji felt as if she would be sucked into his eyes.
“What… what is it?”
“Make some alcohol.”
“What… what? I no longer…”
“If you do that, I will make your wish come true.”
“……wish?”
Have you ever said anything like that?
Unless you are God, how can you read people’s hearts?
I was so shocked that I burst out laughing.
“Cook, do you know what my wish is?”
“okay.” Ho Yeonji’s face hardened as he answered with a confident expression.
My hands, which were neatly placed on my knees, gained strength.
“What is it?”
“I will destroy the scandalous family.”
“Please erase the fear planted within you.”
I was suddenly drooling.
‘This person…’
At first, I thought he was simply an immature prince from a wealthy family, but that was not the case.
This is because he had no hesitation in saying that he would destroy the scandalous family.
The only people who could do that were definitely the martial arts people.
“Chumunsega is related to the Mangeum Sangdan. Moreover, the soldiers guarding the place are all top-notch. Are they doing this because they know that if they put their mind to it, they can wipe out at least one small or medium-sized sect overnight?”
It’s not that I didn’t think about revenge.
He couldn’t think of revenge. The power that the Chumun family possessed was so great. Even if he made money and attracted rogues, he was like a lantern in the wind in the face of scandal.
If it blows, it goes out.
Even so, this person was confident.
“Leave everything to me.” “If I can, I will grant your wish.”
The sound of dry needles falling was heard.
Not only Hoyeonji, but even the Golden Crane watching from the side.
Looking at the confidence felt in the words uttered by Dan Woo-hyeon and the strong power in his eyes, I felt that none of this was a lie.
Moreover, hearing that he would make her wish come true gave me goosebumps. That’s because it seemed like he was saying it to Geum Eunhak himself.
I want to become the best midfielder.
Dan Woo-hyeon said he would make it happen.
If you follow yourself!
Geum Eun-hak trembled as he looked at a similar situation as a while ago.
Ho Yeon Ji, who had not said anything for a while, glared sharply at Dan Woo Hyeon.
“Are you sure you can?”
“There is nothing I can’t do.”
That one word touched Ho Yeonji’s heart.
