Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 353
Episode 353. The shadow falls on Kohwang of Chaoyang.
After the question and answer ceremony, the trainees of Palseongak went back to their daily lives.
They woke up at dawn and recited recitatives, listened to sermons in the morning, and studied individually in the afternoon.
A few trainees left for personal reasons, but their vacant positions were soon filled with new practitioners.
The day under the enemy was the same as before.
He repeated ‘Recital’, ‘Discourse’ and ‘Finding people in Namam Palace’ like a squirrel spinning a wheel.
In the meantime, a small change came.
At some point, the Cheongbulno came to visit and started talking to them needlessly.
After lunch, Yeonjeokha, who was about to leave the grounds of Oryong Palace, was called and stopped by Cheongbulno.
“Where do you go every day like that?”
“Namam Palace.”
“Why are you there?”
“Because I have someone to look for.”
“who?”
It was annoying to have a relationship, but I had to teach him once, so he answered meekly.
“I’m a pharmacist named Baek Il-woon, Yakushi Nyorai.”
“Ohh! You want to fix that face?”
“yes.”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Cheongbulno with eyes asking if he had anything more to say.
It wasn’t just to fix the face, but it wasn’t exactly wrong, so I said ‘yes’.
Now, when Cheongbulno leaves, he is about to run to Namamgung.
But today, Cheongbulno’s words have gotten longer.
“Have you ever studied Taoism before?”
“why?”
“It seems like I can sense good spirits from you at first glance. Are you there? Don’t you?”
“there is.”
“But why did the question-and-answer ceremony go in such a mess?”
“Is that my skill?”
“Muo Tzu said that even though you don’t know the Taoist study, you don’t know too much. I heard you studied Taoism?”
“It’s because I only learned the simbeop and swordsmanship.”
“aha. So it was. If it’s a technique that makes you feel good, it must be a very advanced study. If you’re not satisfied with that, why do you want to learn more?”
“Where is the human heart? When you stand, you want to sit, and when you sit, you want to lie down.”
“Hey. Doesn’t that mean you want something comfortable? It wouldn’t be easy to study magic.”
“Oh yeah? I just meant ‘I’m greedy for something better’ or something like that.”
“Tsk! I see what you mean. Where are you going to learn how to use it?”
“You’re not trying to use it somewhere, you’re doing it to avoid getting hit in the back of the head?”
“Back of the head?”
“I’ve been caught in a sorcery before, but it was terrifying. I was blind and survived thanks to the guru of the Kunlun sect, otherwise I would have died without a trace.”
“Ohh! Something like that happened. Was it related to the famous religion?”
“yes.”
“I know that Kunlun Samsun is famous. I heard that Kunlunpa’s technique is so amazing.”
“Yes, I saw something called ‘Shin Antong’ and it was amazing.”
When Yeonjeokha launched the Kunlunpa, Cheongbulno quietly said a word.
“Our Oryonggung also has a secret technique called ‘spiritual eye art.’”
“When I saw Yukjeong Yukgab’s divine power through ‘Shin Antong’, I could only admire him.”
“I heard that even ‘Epiphany’ can do that much.”
“yes? What did you say?”
I hadn’t heard the words of the young and old man who was in love with the boasting of ‘Shin Antong’.
He said with an uncomfortable face.
“You want to be a non-party disciple, but why do you only boast about the Kunlun faction?”
Yeonjeokha whispered after examining the surroundings.
“Only the master knows. To be honest, if the Kunlunpa was nearby, I would have gone to the Kunlunpa. The Kunlun faction is too far away, so I came to the non-party faction.”
“her! That’s…”
Cheongbulno had nothing to say.
Looking at his sullen expression, he seemed to have no special attachment to the shaman faction or the Dragon Palace.
‘No matter how close he came.’
If the shaman faction leader or the ruler of Ohryonggung found out about it, he would fall by the back of his neck.
“If you don’t have anything else to say…”
“What do you plan to do if you find someone in Namam Palace?”
“You have to learn how to do it.”
“Do you have the confidence to pass the question and answer ceremony?”
“I do not know.”
“What would you do if you could learn without passing the question and answer ceremony?”
“How to drink?”
“Then it’s a technique. Shall we teach martial arts at the Oryong Palace?”
“I absolutely have to learn.”
When Yeonjeokha came out eagerly, Cheongbulno stroked his white beard and asked.
“Do you know what kind of position the Oryong Palace’s technique is in the stronghold?”
“It must be high because it is non-partisan, right?”
“right. It can be said that it is the highest position as a sorcerer. But the responsibility that comes with it is also great. If you learn the techniques of the Five Dragon Palaces, it means you are shouldering the responsibility, but are you prepared for that?”
When he mentioned ‘responsibility’, he frowned.
“What exactly does responsibility mean?”
“For example, if you see a demon, drive it out in the name of the Dragon Palace. If you’re going to turn away because you’re annoying and busy, it’s better to just descend the mountain right now.”
“If that’s the case, it’s no big deal. I thought the non-partisan faction made them do a lot of work. If it’s not just that, I can carry it. What is the way to learn without passing the teacher’s question and answer ceremony?”
“If you hear the bell ringing midnight tonight, don’t tell anyone and come out alone to the Dragon Palace. Then I will personally tell you how.”
“Tonight?”
“why? Are you busy? Then again tomorrow…”
“I’ll go.”
“Are you coming out tonight?”
“yes. What is there to postpone because the horn is also sweet? You have to do it when the word comes out.”
“Yes, yes. He’s a very cool guy. It’s like seeing me in my younger days.”
“Was your face like this when you were young?”
“What kind of slander. I meant personality. See you tonight then. It looks like you’re busy. Go ahead.”
“Ah yes. Then I’m done.”
After showing the town to the young man who was dating, he hurriedly ran down the mountain.

Wudang Mountain.
Shangcheng Palace.
Merchant Yeonggyeol wrote a long letter.
The recipient is, of course, the sword king Namgung Byeok, the head of the Namgung family.
The letter was full of slang that was difficult for others to understand. This was done in case a delivery accident occurred.
For example, ‘What is the shadow of Gaohwang in Chaoyang? After gathering in Moyue, Chaoyang entered the Jade Dragon Palace.’
To clarify the meaning, ‘Joyang’, the morning sun, means Yeonjeokha, and ‘Gohwang’s shadow’ means being sick.
After sealing the long letter, Merchant Yeonggyeol ordered a subordinate to send it to the Namgung family.
After that, he summoned the merchant of heaven and earth, the owner of Jinmugung Palace.
When the merchants of heaven and earth arrived at Sangcheong Palace, merchant Yeonggyeol poured tea into a teacup.
“I’m sorry to ask you to come when you are busy. I have something to discuss about seniors.”
“Is anything going on?”
“I had a question and answer session not too long ago, and they said the results weren’t good. Muo-ja, who presided over the question-and-answer ceremony, called him a person who was far from the way of attaining enlightenment.”
“Oops.”
The merchant of heaven and earth shook his head excitedly.
‘Tsk! If the Five Dragons and Seven Masters of the Dragon Palace knew who Yeon Jeok-ha was, those words wouldn’t have come out.’
The young woman said with a sad face.
“If this is the case, there is no guarantee when the practitioner will learn the shamanic technique. Because the masters of Oryonggung are stubborn, they will teach only those who have passed the question-and-answer ceremony.”
“I will.”
The merchant of heaven and earth nodded as if agreeing.
The sorcerers had a unique sense of community and did not accept anyone.
That is why there are so many practitioners in Palshenggak.
If it was a certain munpa, he would have accepted it.
However, because of the strict criteria for recruiting disciples in Ohryonggung, it was difficult for even those from the same shaman faction to cross the wall.
“If the practitioner hadn’t been poisoned, the masters of Oryong Palace would have recognized Seonggi. If that was the case, I would have passed the question and answer ceremony at once… Anyway, the question and answer ceremony will be difficult until I cure my addiction.”
“Why did you say that to me?”
“Why don’t you tell Oryongchilsa the secret identity of the practitioner? Then I think they will pass the question-and-answer ceremony in moderation.”
However, the merchant of heaven and earth shook his head.
“Even if Ohryongchilsa knew the identity of the Confucius, I wonder if they would teach it. Moonin Jang and I know the practitioner’s Seongi (仙气) from the sidelines. However, to the masters of the five dragons, the practitioner is just a green master. No matter what Chang says, it will be regarded as ‘His background is amazing, so please look at it’. If that happens, the question-and-answer ceremony will not go through, and rumors may spread that the practitioner is poisoned.”
“Hmm! okay. I think I did a good job asking the merchant today. You came out to help for nothing, and you almost made it difficult for the seniors.”
Merchant Lingxi did not insist on his opinion.
This is because he is familiar with the stubbornness unique to magicians.
Certainly, they were people who would snort even if they knew the status of their rivals.
“Don’t worry too much about the long text. Isn’t it Heaven’s will that Confucius Yan came to the Wudang Sect? Bindo believes that Confucius Yeon will meet a good relationship at the Oryong Palace.”
“It should be. He is a waste to be in the green forest. As he said, if you follow the progress of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, are you not a person of our school?”
The merchant of spirit and the merchant of heaven and earth looked at each other and smiled.
They all hoped that Yeon Jeok-ha would take this opportunity to connect with the shaman faction.
To be honest, I’m still not sure about Gucheonhyeonnyeo.
***
Namam Palace in August made me sweat even if I just breathed.
Under the scorching sun, they climbed and descended from cliff to cliff like a mountain goat.
It’s not like I haven’t met anyone in a while.
A few days ago, I was lucky enough to meet a pharmacist in training in a cave.
However, he was only interested in ships, and he was unfamiliar with docks.
Still got something.
It was enough to see with both eyes that there were pharmacists in Namam Palace.
around dusk.
I sat down in the middle of the cliff and cooled down for a while.
I think I have to finish today with the end of the cliff I am going up now.
Watching the sunset burning red, my heart was confused.
Maybe it’s because I’m exhausted and exhausted, but today I only wanted to see Namgung-yeon, the 10-year-old.
But he struggled to shake off the longing.
No matter how much I missed her, I didn’t want to meet her now.
‘My sister will fall in love if she sees me now.’
Even tough men are reluctant to come around, but what a delicate woman it is.
Involuntarily, he touched his face with his hand.
When I touched the swollen and sore skin with my fingertips, I let out a sigh.
“ha! damn old man! Why would you make something so nasty?”
Did you say Nakwol dictatorship?
I got up and climbed up the cliff, shaking off the grumbling mating spot.
Did it pass like that (15 minutes)?
Suddenly, a hazy mist rose from all sides, making it impossible to see an inch ahead.
“omg! What is this?”
Apparently nothing happened until just a moment ago, but what kind of fog is it all of a sudden!
“Is it true?”
I couldn’t think of anything else.
In retrospect, the changes in Palmun Palsangjin were similar.
“The one up there! It’s embarrassing if you do this all of a sudden! I can’t even see where to step!”
In frustration, Yeonjeokha shouted loudly, but the fog did not dissipate.
“Pharmacist! When you say nice words, let me explain the truth! People are going to get hurt like this!”
I was half-threatening, but the fog grew thicker.
With every breath he took, a cold, damp aura filled his lungs.
“Are you going to die here? I can’t see my feet, so I can’t go down! Shit!”
