Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 347

Episode 347. Seventy-two peaks and twenty-six rocks

After lunch.

I went to visit the master of Bangmu, the manager of the ‘Ha Seon High School’.

Unlike Dawn, instead of a bamboo stick, he had a copy of the sutras in his hand.

“What is it?”

“I have personal business, so I plan to visit Namamgung in the afternoon. The palace lord told me to tell the masters when I go to Namam Palace.”

Master Bangmu frowned at the word Namam Palace.

The person who wakes up at dawn and doesze off and sleeps snoring during lectures in the morning is Namamgung?

Namamgung is famous as a place of hardship even among the shamans.

Is it true that there is a saying that all shamans go through Namam Palace?

“It’s not training, it’s personal business?”

“yes.”

“Then I won’t ask why you want to go. Anyway, don’t think about doing anything in Namam Palace out of haste. People of low realm have nothing to gain from it.”

“no. I was thinking of getting some medicine.”

Along with the horse, Yeonjeokha pointed to his face.

“ah!”

A light exclamation escaped from the mouth of the defense master.

Namamgung is like a utopia for pharmacists, so there were people who occasionally went to get rare medicines.

Looking at the swollen face of a person named Yeon Doo-bi, I guessed.

‘Tsk!’

I thought I was doing something useless until a moment ago, but now I feel sorry for him.

“Please be back by dinner time. Namam Palace is a wide and rough place, so it would be better to put in a little effort every day. Being greedy about finding people could put your life at risk. Do not forget that Wudang Mountain is surrounded by seventy-two peaks and twenty-six rocky mountains.”

“Yes, I know. I will not overdo it.”

“Come back before I fall asleep at the latest. If the bed is empty late at night, the masters of Oryong Palace will say that they are going to Namam Palace to find Sohyeop. Please don’t let that happen.”

“yes.”

Rather than thinking that dating is annoying, I was grateful for the care of the masters of Oryonggung.

Master Bangmu told me in detail the way from Oryonggung to Namamgung.

After a while, I finished the conversation with the swordsman who had a rivalry and left the Oryong Palace.

Yeonjeokha, who had just left the precincts of Ohryonggung, turned to one side.

At the corner of the hall, Manhwangju was holding the hand of a female practitioner.

“There is something I must tell you.”

“Tell me here.”

“no. This is something other people shouldn’t know.”

“What is it? If you’re going to talk nonsense again, stop.”

The female Yeo Hwa-jo frowned, but was eventually led by Man-Hwang-Joo.

‘It’s a good time.’

Ignoring them and walking briskly.

However, the words of Namhwangju and the woman whispered loudly in his ears.

It was because of his excellent air power, not that he intentionally listened to it.

“It’s about the question-and-answer examiner. how is it? Are you going to call it boring?”

“Who are you?”

The woman showed interest at once.

‘Sheesh! It looks like she’ll just let me know that she’s a woman after receiving 10 hermits from me.’

He shook his head with a bittersweet face.

That’s what being a man is all about.

Liver and gallbladder are given to women, but the same man is given no broth.

“joy!”

He smirked and ran forward vigorously.

The time you can spend at Namamgung is only half a day.

He had to hurry to find the Medicine Buddha within that time.

We turned to the north at the middle of the mountain where we were connected.

Originally, the master of Bangmu told me to head for the northern peak again after descending the mountain.

However, that is only a word for the sake of practitioners.

He excelled in cognizance and flew like a bird from a cliff halfway up the mountain to the other side.

And when I reached the opposite mountain, I ran over the trees like a plain.

Papa papapat-.

After going for half an hour without stopping, the entrance of the canyon was revealed in the distance.

On a huge rock at the entrance of the gorge, three letters, ‘Namam Palace’, were inscribed.

“Oh, it’s hard. You mean you have to look around here in half a day?”

What would it be like if he had taken a shortcut and moved as he was told to go?

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it could take a year or more.

I walked into the Namamgung Palace, Tabaktabak.

They said there was no road, and it was really blocked in all directions by thick forests.

I could see a few vertical cliffs rising above the densely grown trees.

It is a peak that embraces such cliffs wherever the eyes reach.

‘If I do this wrong, I’ll get lost.’

Concerned, the serial killer calmly decided to climb the first cliff on the right.

Climbing the cliff wasn’t easy either.

The couple had to run to and fro between the rocks like goats.

His whole body rose to the point where he was drenched in sweat, but there was no human trace anywhere.

Half way up the peak, I found three caves, but they were clear.

Still, hope was not shattered.

The cave was naturally pierced, but human traces remained inside.

The eyes of the Yeonjeokha, who climbed the cliff again, flashed.

It’s because I can see the fourth cave overhead.

When he found the entrance to the dark cave, his entire body, which had been drooping, regained strength.

“Yeongcha!”

The upper body was pulled up all the way up with a loud screaming sound.

When he finally reached the entrance of the cave, he took a deep breath.

“ha!”

The sunset was burning red.

Whether or not Baek Il-woon is here, it seems that I have to go back at this point today.

He walked cautiously into the sweaty cave.

My heart was pounding when I saw the largest of the caves so far.

I wanted to meet a pharmacist even if it wasn’t one hundred days luck.

A pharmacist training in such a harsh Namam Palace seemed to have about Baek Il-woon’s ability.

But again, this is bullshit.

There were three stone chambers, but they were not maintained and were covered with spider webs everywhere.

The serial killer who came out of the cave’s entrance screamed out loud in frustration.

“Pharmacist Nyorai 100 days luck! Where are you?”

However, only an empty echo echoed as if I was alone in Namam Palace.

“Is there anyone here?”

Still no answer came back.

‘It hurts. I’m sure there are pharmacists, but why is no one answering?’

All of them must be deaf or avoid meeting people because they don’t want to meet them.

The grumbling rivals descended the cliff before it got darker.

Having barely reached the bottom, he turned around and left the way he had come.

Knowing that the road was dark, even though it was a short distance, my heart was pounding.

That’s why, if you get lost, you’ll be a nuisance to the masters of the Dragon’s Palace.

When he arrived at the stone wall with the words ‘Namam Palace’ written on it, a sigh of relief flowed from Yeon Jeok-ha’s mouth.

“ha! Fortunately… no. When will you find Baekilun here? Can I find it?”

It is now at the entrance of Namamgung Palace, so it was easy to find the way.

But if you went deeper, it would be difficult to come back through the entrance.

“I don’t know.”

He wiped his sweaty hair and started walking towards the south.

Even though we left Namamgung around sunset, we couldn’t make it in time for dinner.

He informed Bangmu Dosa that he had returned and entered ‘Haseon High School’.

Lee Do-ju, who was reading the scriptures, greeted him with his eyes, probably because it was worthwhile.

Then Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong approached.

Manhwangju looked at Yeonjeokha’s face and asked.

“I didn’t see you at the restaurant earlier, where did you eat separately? As far as I know, there is no place in Wudang Mountain that can provide food for foreigners like us.”

“If you find a good place, introduce us too.”

Cheon Sang-dong was convinced that Yeon Jeok-ha ate somewhere else.

Practitioners are always hungry.

From the moment you turn around after eating, you will be hungry again. So, I didn’t think that Yeon Doo-bi skipped dinner from the start. Because I can’t imagine being on an empty stomach until morning.

“no. I was starving.”

“ah!”

“Right.”

Nam Hwang-joo and Cheon Sang-dong finally turned their gazes with sullen faces.

Soon after, Namhwangju spoke as if he was patronizing.

“Put effort into the ‘Cheong-Yeok Chamdonggye’ and ‘Namhwa Jinkyung’. You know what I mean?”

“Ah yes.”

Probably, the examiner called ‘Cheongbulno’ like the one before said that he liked it.

Cheon Sang-dong asked softly.

“By the way, are things going well with you and your brother?”

“What’s going on? You’re not trying to mix words with me. But why does brother Cheon ask that? Are you interested, too?”

“It can’t be. I only asked because I was curious if things were going well with my brother.”

Even though he knew roughly, he asked pretending not to know.

“Who is Sojeo?”

Cheon Sang-dong answered one step faster than Nam Hwang-ju.

“Yeohwajo is the most beautiful among the female practitioners. M My older brother is working hard these days, so don’t go near him either. If that happens, my brother might start a match. Pooh!”

Cheon Sang-dong laughed to himself at the end of what was so interesting.

“Are there many female practitioners?”

“Not many. maybe seven? The number is so small that they live in guest rooms.”

“ah.”

I shook my head in a row.

Considering that there were 150 male practitioners, it was a fairly small number.

Namhwangju intervened.

“You should give thanks to heaven. If there were a lot of female practitioners, we might have been kicked out of ‘Haseongo’. Since Ha Seon-go is a female seon, I would have given it as a training center for women.”

“that’s right. It must have been.”

Chen Sang-dong’s voice rose slightly.

Then, one of the practitioners who was reading the scriptures from a distance said.

“Let’s be quiet over there. If you’re going to keep talking, go out and do it.”

Nam Hwang-ju and Cheon Sang-dong did not go out this time and went back to their seats.

Yeonjeokha also went to the bookshelf on one side and picked out the sutras.

I couldn’t see ‘Namhwa Jinkyung’, but I just saw ‘Jin-yeokchamdonggye’.

‘I even got a recommendation from the Uncle Sword King, but I have to learn the proper technique.’

If you do not learn because you do not pass the question and answer ceremony, there will be no such disgrace.

I brought to my seat the serialized book ‘Cheong-Yeok Chamdonggye’ and opened it and read it.

However, because I was so hungry, I couldn’t concentrate.

‘I can’t. I have to eat something. I can’t stand it like this.’

The Yeon Jeok-ha, who quietly got up from the seat, left the ‘Ha Seon-go’ and headed for the restaurant.

But after searching the restaurant and even the kitchen, there was nothing to eat.

As time passed, the hunger grew worse.

He sniffed like a hungry wild dog and searched the vicinity of the Oryong Palace.

However, they searched 10 li in all directions, centered on the Oryong Palace, but in vain.

I didn’t even dare to go further for fear of getting lost.

The serial pirates who wandered until late at night had to return to the disembarkation school holding on to their hungry stomachs.

***

Pair-.

When the bamboo rain fell on his shoulder, he jumped to his feet.

A swordsman with a long (about 3 meters) long bamboo stick in his hand passed by.

Already, recitations were heard from all directions.

The couple, who struggled with hunger all night, opened their eyes to the Pacific Ocean with bloodshot eyes.

Growling- growling-.

Before I could start reciting in earnest, there was a commotion in my stomach.

To the point of wanting to chew and eat even the Great Peace.

‘Every day is hell. Shit.’
