Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 529

Episode 529. Greed (慾心)

Woraksan Mountain.

Yushicho (5 p.m.).

Three men on horseback left the highway and entered a small road.

Yeonjeokha is a group.

Gong Ji-yu, who was running along the trail for about half an hour, spoke in a low voice.

“Everyone is here. Woraksan starts from here.”

“aha! Then, can we find Yeongji Seoncho from now on?”

“yes. I will teach Yeon Daehyeop the shape of Yeongji Seoncho and help him dig it. As I said, what Priest Yu collects belongs to Hyeoncheonmun. Right?”

She once again confirmed the role of Lee Yoo-hyeon.

Yeongji Seoncho was a very precious item, so there was a point of dispute if it was not decided and went.

“yes.”

He nodded his head in suspense.

He needs Yeongji Seoncho, but he had no intention of breaking the promise he made himself.

I didn’t even live like that.

Gong Ji-yu, who repeatedly confirmed what was once promised, looked rather strange.

Soon the three of them got off their horses.

Lee Yoo-hyeon, who was following Gong Ji-yu, spoke cautiously.

“Come on, sister-in-law. I don’t think you can lead a horse into the mountains. It seems like the sun is setting…”

“If you go a little further, there is an empty lot made for grazing. The horse can be released there. There is also a campground there.”

“Are you camping?”

“What are you surprised about? Before the one-eyed demon appeared, there were many street vendors.”

“Awesome.”

“Because the munpas from the five nearby prefectures have gathered. It was full of people back then. It’s really late, so how about climbing the mountain tomorrow morning?”

“I see.”

We respected the opinions of those with experience.

In other words, you can’t use it by tying a thread around the waist of a needle because you’re in a hurry.

As Gong Ji-yu said, after going a little further, a paddock and a campsite appeared.

The three of them released the horse they had dragged into the paddock.

It’s because I have to be in Woraksan for a long time, so I can’t take care of the horse’s food.

The campground next to the paddock also had good facilities.

There were many merchants, and there was even a well, so it was convenient for cooking.

Yeonjeokha and his party settled down in a cozy place with a flat floor.

As the sun went down, the cold came like an autumn mountain.

Lee Yoo-hyeon went around like a squirrel to get tree branches and built a bonfire in the center.

He then hung a pot over the campfire and boiled water.

Gong Ji-yu, who was leisurely gazing at the light, muttered to himself.

“In the past, bonfires were lit all over the place, so it was mistaken for a large village. It’s just us now because of the one-eyed demon.”

“But what exactly is a one-eyed horse? I heard about it, but I didn’t know what it was.”

Regarding Yeon Jeok-ha’s question, Gong Ji-yu calmly explained.

“According to eyewitnesses, the hair is pitch black. It may have lost one eye in a fight, but it has only one eye, but it is called a one-eyed horse because it is as fast as a ghost.”

“You mean words?”

“It could be considered a horse.”

“So you’re saying that’s not true?”

“First of all, horses are herbivores, right?”

“Could it be that the one-eyed horse eats meat?”

“I don’t know that one-eyed demon eats grass because no one has seen it. By the way, have you seen him eat other beasts or people?”

“her! really?”

“Yes, it only eats the head.”

“No, do you have something to eat on your head?”

Then Gong Ji-yu said with a sad face.

“Eat the heads of other animals because they don’t have their own eyeballs. In the hope that it will produce eyeballs.”

Lee Yoo-hyeon, who was putting rice in the pot, looked at Kong Ji-yu with a startled face.

“If you eat sister-in-law’s eyes, will you get the missing eyes?”

“Don’t you know how to eat a pork leg like that? Do you get legs from eating pork legs?”

“Ah….”

“So, no matter how divine a beast is, there is nothing you can do about it. Trying to fill yourself up by eating what you don’t have. Because I am ignorant.”

Yeonjeokha, who was listening, asked.

“Did you say that the one-eyed demon eats only the head because of its eyeballs?”

“Foot! How do horses communicate with people? I’m just assuming it will.”

“Maybe they eat only the head for some other reason?”

“Yeah, what… But, besides the eyeballs, could there be any other reason?”

He shook his head excitedly.

It’s not that the one-eyed demon is ignorant, it seems that humans are simple.

How can they think so on their own and call the one-eyed demon ignorant?

In the meantime, an unidentified porridge boiled with rice, meat, and vegetables was completed.

Lee Yoo-hyeon scooped a bowl full of porridge and carefully served it to Yeon Jeok-ha.

Yeonjeokha, who received the bowl, sniffed it and asked.

“Smells fine. What do you call this?”

“Suyakju is a traditional chowder. Weird to look at, but worth eating. I also put in plenty of medicinal herbs to replenish energy.”

“Do you put medicine in porridge?”

“Yes, you can trust me. In Suyakju, most of the dishes are made with medicinal materials.”

Yeonjeokha smelled it once again.

I heard that there were plenty of medicines, so I could feel the smell of medicine.

However, when I tried to eat it with a spoon, it was edible.

I guessed that it would be similar to eating rice with decoction, but it was unexpected.

“It is delicious.”

“thank you. Please eat a lot.”

Lee Deok-hyeon, who was smiling brightly, handed a bowl to Gong Ji-yu.

As the three of them emptied a bowl of soup, three men and horses burst into the camp.

Dongbangyu, one of the greatest disciples of Geumdanmun, came to Woraksan Mountain with his disciples, Gokokjeong and Jeong Ildo.

Dongbangyu released the horse he rode to the paddock and walked toward the light.

“Hello? You all seem to want to climb Mt. Worak, so let’s say hello. Nobu is the first disciple of the forbidden gate, Dongbangyuyo.”

Gong Ji-yu laughed, but at the same time was worried.

It is because they followed the master of ‘Yeonheo’, but they did not.

“I am Gong Ji-yu, the third generation disciple of Hyeoncheon-mun. This is my priest, Yuk-hyeon Lee, and the person over there is a guest in the main text.”

Gong Ji-yu naturally pointed to Yeonjeok-ha.

I didn’t know how far to introduce him, so I quietly passed it on.

“I’m in the middle of the day.”

“I think you gave me a kite. Have you been to Worak Mountain before?”

“This is the first time.”

“I guess so. There is such a thing as beginner’s luck, so you can get what you want.”

“I hope so.”

Dong Bang-yu glanced at Yeonjeok-ha and then turned around.

He was nervous because his disciple Hyeon Cheon-mun called him Dae-hyeop, but it doesn’t seem like he thought it was.

‘I thought I was going to be on the podium again, but it seems that’s not the case.’

‘Podium’ is the level where one can express one’s spirit, and it is like a proof of a disciple of a religious sect.

However, the young man who asked for a relationship seemed very ordinary and far from being on the podium.

The night went deep.

Lee Yoo-hyeon went to bed, but Gong Ji-yu rubbed his sleepy eyes and talked to Yeonjeok-ha.

“…what?”

Gong Ji-yu, who had been dozing for a while, opened his eyes.

Yeon Jeok-ha said something, but only the back words remained in my memory.

“sorry. I didn’t hear it because I was dozed off. What did you just say?”

Perhaps it was the aftereffects of dream smoke, it was difficult to endure the rapid fatigue.

“I asked which of the Yeongji seoncho from Woraksan Mountain is expensive.”

“Ah, the one that sold the most expensive in my memory was the ‘Thousand Years Spirit Black Water’. Isn’t it amazing that you received 1,000 gold coins with just one root?”

“Is it a thousand?”

The younger brother’s eyes flashed open.

It seemed that one of them would be enough to cover the search for Namgung-yeon.

“There are things more precious than that. It’s because people don’t see it well. Even if you are an ordinary Yeongji Seoncho, you have to go hiking three or four times to get one. So how about something precious?”

“Is it very difficult?”

“I think I’ve been there 10 times so far, but I only visited the Cheonnyeon Hwaryeong Site twice. What is so difficult is finding Yeongji Seoncho. So don’t be too disappointed if you can’t find it this time.”

“Ah yes. By the way, what does the ‘permanent directive black water’ look like?”

When he couldn’t let go of his lingering feelings, Gong Ji-yu smiled and explained.

“They say it grows on a sunny slope. Have you ever seen pumpkin leaves?”

“yes.”

“The leaves look like pumpkin leaves, but they are about half smaller and shiny. To the extent that it glows when exposed to sunlight.”

“So it’s not very noticeable?”

“It won’t open without it, right? Besides, if you grow up hiding on a cliff-like slope, who knows?”

“I guess so.”

“That’s why you can only get the ‘Millennial Command Black Water’ only through a relationship. Well, like all Yeongji’s ancestors, ‘Perennial Command Heuksuo’ is especially severe.”

“Any other things to be aware of?”

“Ah, the ‘Perennial Heuksuo’ is not the leaves, but the roots. If you dig it up carefully, a black root the size of a pot will come out. It looks like a pot without fail.”

“Yes, a dark root the size of a pot. And what?”

“That’s all. Instead, try aiming for ‘one leaf seoncho (一葉仙草)’.”

“‘Il-yeopseoncho’?”

“Yes, it is one of the Yeongji Seoncho that grows the most in Woraksan Mountain. Its appearance is also easy to remember. Like a leek, one stem is straight.”

“Does it resemble a leek?”

“Your color is just leek. However, it is shorter than leek and the leaves are wider. And there are two rows of golden dots along the center of the leaf. how is it? Easy to remember, right?”

“So it resembles a leek, but has two golden dots on its leaves?”

“yes that’s right. When I first came to Woraksan, I only looked for it. Even if you sell just that, you get 10 gold coins.”

“and! Is it rather expensive?”

An exclamation escaped from the young man’s mouth.

Of course, it was insignificant compared to a thousand nyang, but even ten nyang was a lot of money.

“One stem is not expensive. ‘Il-Yeop-Seoncho’ grows at least ten in one place. If you dig up all of them and sell them, you will receive ten nyang.”

“Ah…”

Yeonjeokha was a bit lethargic.

‘Il-yeop-seoncho’ I liked that it was a hundred nyang when I sprayed it, but it seems that it is one nyang per one.

Gong Ji-yu, who was explaining about the ancestors of Yeongji, started to doze off again.

I let go of her who had a relationship that was worse than that.

He would need enough rest to start walking around the mountains tomorrow.

After sending her away, I turned my gaze to the side, and the people of Geumdanmun Gate caught my eye.

They were whispering among themselves, but it sounded loud as if they were talking right next to each other.

“The priest only thinks of finding ‘Il-Yeop Seon-Cho’. If you think of something else, you will pass by it even if you see it. So don’t be greedy and just think about that one thing. okay?”

“What about the death penalty?”

“I’m aiming for the ‘Thousand Year Snow Lotus’.”

“Then, I’m going to do ‘Millennial Snow Lotus’ too.”

“Uh, why are you here? negative ride. Do not be greedy before entering the mountain. big deal.”

“Is being greedy like a death penalty?”

While listening to the story, he shouted, ‘Tell me what the Millennium Snow Lotus looks like!’

However, the two men only quarreled, and in the end did not talk about the appearance of ‘Millennial Snow Lotus’.

The rival enemy, who had been grunting inwardly, knew that it would be useless to listen any further and covered his ears.

However, the saying ‘You shouldn’t be greedy before entering the mountain’ strangely touched my heart.

It was as if the sky was talking to him.

‘Yes what about my subject. Let’s aim for Il-Yeop Suncho.’

There is no such thing as a disaster if you meet a ‘one-eyed demon’ for no reason.

He drew ‘Ilyeopseoncho’ dozens of times in his head before falling asleep.
