Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 570
Episode 570. Yang Yang, two roads
Gong Ji-yu did not know the exact relationship between the three men and Zhang Jian.
It was because he hadn’t talked much with Jang Jian, and after the quarrel, Jang Jian avoided him.
I knew that the deceased Zhang Jian was on his way to participate in ‘Flight and the Sea’, but that’s all. She didn’t even wonder because she wasn’t interested in men-except for Yeon Jeok-ha.
However, the story changes when the people who were avoiding until yesterday suddenly follow behind.
Kong Ji-yu listened to the men’s conversation.
I want to know why they are following me.
But the three men did not speak as if they had become mute.
Except for when ordering from the clerk, he remained silent as if he had promised.
‘There’s something!’
No matter how you look at it, the men’s behavior was suspicious.
However, he approached them and said, ‘Why are you following me?’ It’s impossible to ask.
Gong Ji-yu couldn’t talk to anyone and thought about it alone.
Her behavior, which was different from usual, immediately caught the attention of the younger enemy.
“What’s wrong?”
“yes?”
“I think my expression has been bad since before. Where are you uncomfortable?”
“There is no such thing.”
“is it so?”
I didn’t ask for more to do.
It wasn’t polite to pry at him even though he said he was fine.
From then on, Gong Ji-yu’s eating speed suddenly increased.
She hurriedly emptied the bowl and moved her hips as if she would wake up at any moment.
It’s a different look than usual.
In the wind, he ended his meal, which he had been eating for a long time.
Gong Ji-yu said to Yeonjeok-ha, who was trying to take a breath and rinse his mouth with water.
“song.”
“Aren’t you drinking tea?”
“I just want you to drink water. It’s because I have something to find out.”
“is it so?”
It happened at the place where Gong Ji-yu’s Chae-geun was dating.
Even when fighting the subjugation party at Obongsan Mountain, I ate at least a leisurely meal, which was a big deal.
After leaving the restaurant, the three of them diligently moved west along the highway.
Is it because you ate lunch late?
I didn’t even walk long, but the sky was dyed red in the setting sun.
Yeonjeokha, who was looking to the left and right of the highway, murmured.
“I can’t see the title. I see there is no village nearby, so should I be homeless?”
At the word homeless, Jeong Deok-haeng’s complexion darkened.
This is because when you are homeless, you have to prepare not only food but also a place to sleep.
Gong Ji-yu, who looked around, nodded.
“Even if I go further, I don’t think the approval will come out. Wouldn’t it be better to find a place to rest before it gets darker?”
“Does it seem like that too?”
I agreed with her mate.
It was surrounded by mountains to the left and right, so it didn’t seem like there was a place for people to live.
I unpacked my things in search of a cozy place to hang out.
Jeong Deok-haeng lit a fire to cook and even prepared a bed for the three of them.
Still, he did not praise his hard work.
No, on the contrary, I was nagging him.
“Jung Hyung-guk is salty.”
“Ah yes, I will be careful.”
Even though he was intellectually criticized for his hard work, Deok-haeng Jeong laughed like a madman.
It’s because he who used to be called ‘Mr. Jeong’ finally called me ‘Jung-hyung’.
Jeong Deok-haeng knew that the title changed depending on how Yeon Jeok-ha viewed the other person.
According to experience, ‘Mr. Chung’ is a dangerous title.
It was ‘Jung Hyung’ who broke down there.
For example, when he threw himself at a wild beast, he called him ‘Mr. Jung’, but after the incident, he called him ‘Hyung Jeong’.
“It’s salty, but what do you like so much?”
“sorry. We will do better next time.”
Jeong Deok-haeng quickly started managing facial expressions.
I was afraid that if I touched his stomach for no reason, I would hear ‘Mr. Jeong’ again.
By the time Yeon Jeok-ha finished eating, it was already dark.
At that moment, the voices of men were heard from afar.
And not long after, Do-gyeong Han and his party suddenly appeared.
As Yeon Jeok-ha stared at him, Do-gyeong Han made an excuse.
“I came to see the lights. I didn’t know you were resting here. Enough then.”
Do-gyeong Han and the two men left without hearing an answer.
Soon after, a small light appeared in the darkness on the other side of the highway.
It looks like they will be sleeping nearby.
Gong Ji-yu, who was staring at the new light, said with a concerned face.
“Because it’s strange.”
“What?”
“I feel like we went after making sure we were right.”
“Oh no way.”
I thought she was a bit sensitive.
It is because if they are going to the fire umbrella, they have no choice but to run into each other often.
However, Gong Ji-yu had a slightly different idea.
“You’ve always been ahead of us. Isn’t it strange that people are suddenly circling around us?”
“Since the destination is the same, they must go ahead or behind. There is no reason for those people to hang around us.”
“There is no reason for that, so it is strange. Even now, they don’t bother to check on us and stay homeless nearby.”
Then Jeong Deok-haeng, who was organizing the cauldron and bowls, said a word.
“When you see a light in the middle of the night, it’s only natural to check who the other person is. You learned that at Hyeoncheonmun.”
“…”
Gong Ji-yu could not refute.
It’s because he remembered the memories he had when he was homeless with the current astronomicalists.
He nodded his head as if he was in sympathy.
At times like that, Jeong Deok-haeng also seems like a sane person.
***
Chao Yang-seong.
Cheon Byeok Hyun.
Yeon Jeok-ha’s party and Han Do-gyeong’s party accompanied each other for seven days.
At that point, I thought that it was a little strange to have a positive relationship in everything.
It’s not a smooth relationship with each other, and it’s not that the date is not tight, but it’s because we met too often.
around lunchtime.
A shabby inn next to the highway.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who simply solved his meal with soup, glanced behind him.
Three men were eagerly eating soup.
We’ve met so many times since we crossed Muryangha together, and now it feels like we’re together.
After thinking for a while, Yeon Jeok-ha asked Jeong Deok-haeng.
“Where did Jung-Hyung say the fork in the road was?”
“If you go half a day more, you will come to a village called Yangdo. It splits into two branches there.”
“Transfer. Do you mean ‘two roads’?”
“Yes, in Yangdo there are two roads leading to Sumi. One is hell and the other is heaven.”
“Hell and Heaven?”
“Yes, there is the Karma Mountains between Chaoyang and Sumi. If you go up from Yangdo to the north, you will find a canyon that runs straight through the Karma Mountains. You can pass through the gorge in one day, but there is no way to escape if you encounter a beast, so it is called the ‘corridor of death’. That is why
it is called Hell.”
“aha!”
I think you know what I mean.
Having met a beast in the gorge, it would be the same as being caught in a single trap.
No matter how much it is, it is a ‘corridor of death’.
“Don’t go that way,” I heard.
“The main road people use is in the south of Yangyang. The route takes three days and is relatively safer than the route north, bypassing the rough terrain of the Karma Mountains. It’s called a paradise. I also went this way three years ago, and I only saw a plant-class beast from afar.”
“omg! You saw a plant-class beast while penetrating the mountain range for three days?”
“yes. I heard that Cheonbyeok County regularly subdues beasts for trade.”
“aha! Even if you turn around a little, go safely, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Transfer. It’s fun.”
Yeonjeokha’s eyes sparkled.
If I go to the northern road with the ‘corridor of death’ in Yangdo, will those men follow me?
Thinking about that made me laugh for no reason.
Gong Ji-yu, who saw Yeonjeok-ha’s expression, asked cautiously.
“Yeongdaehyeop, don’t you think it’s strange?”
“Is that a strange idea?”
“No, I’m just asking because I’m suddenly feeling low. We’re going south, right?”
Jeong Deok-haeng looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with surprised eyes.
I explained it in detail at best, but why would Gong Ji-yu say such a thing?
“There are plenty of dates, so you don’t have to rush. Isn’t it?”
He shrugged his shoulders in response to Gong Ji-yu’s repeated questions.
‘what? Are you going south? Are you saying it’s not?’
Jeong Deok-haeng did not dare to intervene in the conversation and only looked at the two.
“A kite grand bargain?”
It is also known
She didn’t give the enemy a chance to escape.
Jeong Deok-haeng internally cheered Gong Ji-yu.
‘Yes, dig in to the end. Don’t let Yeonjeokha fall over Eoyeongbuyeong.’
Only then did Yeonjeokha answer with a reluctant face.
“Well, I’ll go to Yangdo and think about it.”
“yes? What else can I do but think about it? They say we have no reason to rush and the south road is a safe road managed by the county. There is no reason why you should leave heaven and go to hell.”
Gong Ji-yu looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with absurd eyes.
No matter how high his inaction was, I wanted to dissuade him.
No, it was right to hold back.
Do you dare call it a ‘corridor of hell’ over a safe road managed by Tianbyeok County?
Then Yeonjeokha said quietly.
“Remember when I said I thought they were following us? I’m going to see if it’s the same in Yangdo.”
“Anyway, I don’t think it’s the northern road. If you’re curious about that, you can just grab it and ask.”
“If you ask me, of course they will say no. So what do you do? Beat it until we get the answer we want? What kind of sin is it to follow?”
“That’s true…”
Gong Ji-yu blurted out.
right.
It is not a sin to go the same way.
Even more so, when the destination is the same, it’s strange to argue with ‘Why are you following me?’
“If you come all the way north, you really have a problem. It’s because there’s something that’s worth risking your life to chase after. Well, I think we’ll go south from there.”
“Isn’t it a bit harsh to go north just to find out about that?”
“Since there is a fast road there and you can afford it, shall we go? I was thinking about it.”
Gong Ji-yu nodded at the words, “I can go.”
He might even be able to see the beast of the Karma Mountains in his eyes after defeating even the one-eyed demon.
He was frightened by the words that he was called ‘hell’ or ‘corridor of death’, but he probably didn’t feel much.
“Oh, that’s right. If so, do as you please. It’s a bit like having to leave the fast road and go back.”
“Yes? It’s a road that people don’t often go on, so it might be crowded with Yeongji Seoncho.”
“Whoops! Those people seem to be doing it as an excuse, but actually because of Yeongji Seoncho?”
“It’s half and half. As long as it is called a mountain range, we can expect the beginning of Yeongji, right?”
Then Jeong Deok-haeng cautiously intervened.
“Even if you go south of Yeondaegyeop, it is the same as going through the Karma Mountains.”
“That one is wrong.”
“yes? What are you talking about?”
“I heard that merchants go there and periodically subdue the prefecture? Will Yeongji Seoncho remain in such a place? Anything that is within sight has already been dug up.”
“The southern road is said to be safe, but it is still a rugged mountain road. It’s not a level where you can say that merchants and officials went around and dug up everything.”
To be honest, he wanted to avoid the northern road.
My mouth was dry when I thought of going into an already dangerous place with a backpack full of luggage.
But he didn’t listen to what he said.
“Hey, let’s get up and see! Should we hurry to get to Yangdo when the sun is out?”
With the crossroads of life and death ahead of him, he acted like a person out on a picnic.
‘You son of a bitch, listen to what people say and pretend to eat them.’
Jeong Deok-haeng diligently massaged his stiff knee joints with his sweaty hands.
