Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 28
Episode 28. How can you put up with it,
southern Henan.
A mountain without a name.
About 20 people are huddled together in a place about a day away from Obongsan Mountain. They are thieves who abandoned Obong Sanchae a while ago and fled.
They went over the mountain and across the river to Gihyeon, but belatedly heard rumors and were on their way back. However, opinions were divided over Mount Obong.
Baek-gyo, who was a Mu-yeong-sintu, seduced him, saying, ‘Let’s go to Jeokpung-chae in Mt. Pyeongjeongsan Mountain is about two days away from Obongsan Mountain. The landlord doesn’t like it, so I’m going to move to the next door.
Baegyo, whose nose fell down, asked the thieves.
“Is there anyone who will go with me to Jeokpungchae in Mt. Pyeongjeong?”
Five people, including Cheon Il-bo and Yeom Sa-ung, moved toward Baek-gyo.
However, most of the thieves still stayed around Shenyanggak, a former military base.
The face of the proud Baek Gyo was slightly distorted.
“Shim, do you really want to go back to Obong Sanchae?”
“Even Brother Baek didn’t listen to the rumors. The subjugation of Sangbang Mansu was over. I don’t know why they suddenly stopped subjugating, but since the danger is gone, isn’t it natural for them to return?”
“The people who follow Pung Chae-ju will treat you badly, so how can you put up with that?”
“It doesn’t matter. You won’t even be able to shout in front of me anyway.”
“Okay then, let’s break up here. My teeth grind even in my sleep when I think of the young lover and the other half-brothers around him.”
“So be it.”
Shen Yang-gak replied with a nonsensical face.
Meeting and breaking up with bandits was a common occurrence, so it was nothing new.
After hesitating for a while, Baegyo led the five of them to the north.
When Baekgyo and his party disappeared from sight, Shim Yang-gak immediately burst into cynicism.
“joy! Like a thief who knows one thing and doesn’t know the other. Do you think Jeokpungchae will welcome you? Who likes the ones who were abandoned when the living things were in danger? Did you eat your age with your butthole? Tsk tsk! I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Hwang Yo-myeong, who had been watching, hurriedly matched the rhythm.
“That’s right. There’s a guy I know in Jeokpungchae, and he says that Chaeju’s temperament is very damn good. Compared to that, Yeonga is nothing.”
“Hehe. You guys still have a sharp eye. let’s go back The belly skin is sticking to the back.”
“Yes yes.”
The 15 thieves, who agreed to return, set off to the south.
***
The next day, Shen Yangjia and the 15-year-old thief entered Hajia Village with iron plates on their faces. The atmosphere in Haga Village was the same as it was fifteen days ago.
If there’s anything different from before, it’s that the number of merchants coming and going seems to have increased a bit?
The bandits, who were spying on the surrounding merchants with the eyes of looking at the delicious food, rushed to the Dead Sea. It is to take care of the body that has been weakened by not eating properly.
For the first time in a long time, they ordered and ate food until their stomachs exploded.
The bandits who had finished drinking cold tea rose from their seats one by one.
The owner hurriedly chased after the bandits who had eaten their fill and left.
“Come on, greats. Who pays for the food?”
I asked because the thieves of Obongsanchae always paid for it, so I wondered if they had forgotten.
Simyanggak walked away pretending not to hear.
Huang Yao-ming scratched his head with a puzzled face.
On the way to and from Kihyeon, I had used up all my money, so I had nothing to give even if I wanted to.
“Hmm, don’t you know who we are? I’ll give it to you later.”
“Ah yes yes…”
The inn owner, recognizing Hwang Yo-myeong’s face, smiled awkwardly and cringed.
“By the way, did you come with five bongs and ten girls?”
The number of thieves was so great that the owner of the inn naturally expected there to be 5,000 and 10,000.
While thinking, ‘Huge girls like Five Bons and Ten Girls won’t pay for food.’
“uh? uh.”
Hwang Yo-myeong knew that the term was referring to the thieves who remained in Mount Obong, and blurted it out. It was an action because the name of Oh Bon 10 Girl was not known anyway.
“Oops! It’s an honor. Take a look.”
“okay. thanks for your effort.”
As the owner bowed his head, Hwang Yo-myeong happily walked away. When I have money later, I plan to pay it back then. Of course, if you forget, you can’t help it.
***
Shenyang Pavilion stopped in front of the wild vegetables.
Something strange was caught in his keen eye.
‘what?’
Strange traces remained on the road, as if the land had been plowed with a plow and then restored. It wasn’t there a fortnight ago.
Hwang Yo-myeong, who followed his gaze, said in amazement.
“Poo-wow! It seems that some idiot was kicked out while cultivating the field without knowing that he was in front of the living.”
Making a field in a location where you can see wild vegetables?
It’s an absurd guess, but I couldn’t help but think that way.
Shen Yang-gak, tilting his head, strode into the living room.
The inside was the same as when we left.
In the yard, children were playing and carpenters and handymen were busy building houses.
I ran into some thieves, but they didn’t care about each other.
Shim Yang-gak and the bandits spread iron plates over their faces and scattered to the hut where they were staying.
Chun Ki-duk, who entered his room, immediately frowned.
It was because in the middle of the room, an old master was sitting cross-legged.
‘what. Did he accept a new wandering guru?’
It seems that way.
Chun Ki-duk threw his luggage in a corner and went outside.
He intends to listen to his friend Lee Chul-san, who remained here, about the events of the past.
“what? Ten people made bloody brothers?”
Cheon Ki-deok looked at Lee Chul-san with surprised eyes.
Lee Cheol-san’s face was full of confidence, probably because he had a relationship with the powerful people of Sanchae.
“Oh, now I’m the eighth of the living.”
“Then you’re right below Yeon-hyung?”
“that’s right.”
“Wouldn’t Shim-nim be alone?”
“Embossed? What am I going to do if I’m not alone?”
Lee Cheol-san called the name of Shim Yang-gak as if he were calling a neighborhood dog.
“Hey hey…”
Cheon Ki-duk, who was about to block his friend’s mouth, realized belatedly that he didn’t need to do that and put his hand down. There was no way that Shen Yang-gak would touch the brother-in-law of the younger brother!
Chun Ki-duk changed the topic with a bitter face.
“Oh. There was an old guru in our room. Is he a new member?”
“no.”
“No, why are you in our room?”
“He’s a guest, brother Yeon.”
“It’s a big deal. Someone who knows Yeon-hyung came to visit?”
Lee Cheol-san, who looked around for a while, quickly whispered in Cheon Ki-deok’s ear.
“Only you know. That person is the Merchant of Heaven and Earth.”
“omg! what?”
Surprised, Cheon Ki-deok shouted involuntarily.
“Quiet. men and horses.”
“Uh uh… is it real?”
“Because it is.”
“Why is that guru still alive? They say they didn’t even come to Obongsan.”
“Who is it? After being smashed by my older brother, you’ve been sitting there.”
“Smash the bar? Did brother Yeon beat the Merchant of Heaven and Earth?”
“Yes man.”
Lee Cheol-san shrugged as if I had won. And to Chun Ki-deok, who was still dubious, he briefly told what had happened.
“Obong and Tengeol made bloody brothers and even learned martial arts from Yeon-hyung?”
“uh. I also learned white porcelain gugyeol and ilchosik sword techniques. It’s no joke if you make this big. A dragon fist wind is about to arise from the sword.”
“Really?”
“This is a secret, but I heard that Yeon-hyung-nim applied this sword technique to the Merchant of Heaven and Earth very… cleanly.”
For Cheolsan Lee, there was no other way to describe the scene at that time.
“Teach me too.”
“Don’t teach others. If they get caught, both the person who taught and the person who learned…”
Chulsan Lee stopped talking and pretended to slap his throat with the blade of his hand.
In fact, Waryongjang, who is a serial enemy, was concerned about it and only told him not to tell it to others.
Cheon Ki-duk looked at his friend with envious eyes.
I didn’t believe everything he said, but it seemed true that I had learned something from the younger enemy.
‘Fuck! If I knew it would turn out like this, then it would be left over…’
My body went through all kinds of hardships and gained nothing. What the hell is this? Chun Gi-deok, depressed, let out a sigh.
***
Maybe three days have passed since then?
Around lunchtime, Ha So-baek and Han Chae-yeon, who had gone down to Ha Ga-chon, came back haughtily.
The two women visited Chaeju Poongyeoncho at Sanghwagak.
“Brother! Some crazy thieves were impersonating our sworn brothers in Hajia Village!”
“What do you mean?”
Poong Yeon-cho, who was training swordsmanship with Bak-ju Tak Go-myeong, asked with a puzzled expression.
How dare you pretend to be Five Bon Ten Girl?
Obong ten girls are not just ten thieves in Obong Sanchae. That’s the sound that refers to that formidable master, Yeon Jeok-ha, and his nine sworn brothers.
If he wasn’t crazy about dying, why would he do such a thing in Hajia Village?
“I went to Sahaeru with Sobaek a while ago. I ate well and came out, but the owner said that. Three days ago, Obongsipgeol and the wild vegetables family came and ate and then left. Three days ago was the day those shameless bastards returned. They impersonated us and even ate on the radio! Oh, it’s so embarrassing that I can’t carry my face!”
As soon as he heard the story, Poongyeoncho went outside and roughly hit the bell hanging under the eaves of Sanghwagak.
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
Thieves who had been stuck here and there rushed to Sanghwagak at the nervous sound of the ringing bell.
Chaeju Poongyeoncho looked at the thieves with cool eyes.
Seeing the shameless faces of the thieves who crawled in a few days ago makes me want to run and beat them. If I had the ability to do that, I would have done it already.
For a long time, Poongyeoncho didn’t say anything, but the bandits didn’t grumble. Considering their shamelessness, waiting a little is not a big deal.
Finally, the sweaty Yeonjeokha slowly came in and sat down. He was the last to come because he was at the first peak of Mt. Obong with the merchants of heaven and earth.
Poong Yeon-cho opened her mouth after confirming that Yeon Jeok-ha was sitting.
“Today, the 9th and 10th of us went to Haga Village and heard an amazing story.”
The third Ma Hyeong-do cleared his ears and said.
“why? Which other side came in?”
“I would rather be glad if that were the case. Someone in Hajia Village masqueraded as Five Bon Ten Girl.”
“…”
A heavy silence swept over Sanghwagak.
The returning thieves glanced at each other with surprised eyes.
They also now know the meaning behind the 5 Bon 10 Geol. No sane person would brag that they were blood brothers and sisters. What kind of lunatics would do such a thing?
Then, Poongyeoncho’s angry voice resounded throughout Daejeon.
“Who are the guys who ate heartily at Sahaeru three days ago and hung up the account book in the name of five bongs and ten girls?”
He asked who he was, but his gaze was directed to Simyanggak.
Shocked, Shenyanggak hurriedly glared at Hwang Yomyeong.
It reminded me of the conversation he had with the tavern owner, who had stayed behind and asked for money.
In an instant, the blood drained from Hwang Yo-myeong’s face.
I belatedly recalled the events of the day that I had completely forgotten.
This time, Tak Go-myeong, the debt holder, shouted at the thieves in Shenyang Pavilion and its surroundings.
“Looking at the surprised faces, it must have been you guys! The guys who abandoned the wild vegetables and ran away! Do you dare to sell the name of Five Bons and Ten Girls without feeling ashamed? Can you guys still call me a man!”
Shen Yang-gak’s cheeks twitched at the flood of shame.
To hear such a thing from a pitch-black junior, even a martial artist, Tak Go-myeong!
What the hell do guys who can’t even make eye contact believe in and run wild like that!
