Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 854
Episode 854. The flag of life and death [生死播]
The next morning.
I got up from my late seat and started the day.
Somehow, at the end of four o’clock (11:00 am), an agent for going to school came to visit.
I thought that the departure date for the serial registration had been decided, but Dong Won-yong did not open his mouth about the work of the upper ranks the whole time we drank tea together.
After drinking the tea, when Dong Yuan Yong returned, he looked at his heartache with an absurd expression on his face.
“Why did the acting manager come?”
“I must have come to get a snow stamp from Confucius. Where is one or two such people?”
“Damn it. I thought you came to inform me of the departure date.”
“Didn’t you say you would stay for ten days at the opening?”
“You didn’t set the date just right.”
“Probably ten days. Everyone was saying that, but what?”
“ha! To think that I would have to lock myself in the inn for five more days. After driving like that, I rest too much when I rest.”
“There should be such a pleasure.”
“What is luck? It’s just a waste of time. I need to go to the Namyeon guesthouse and collect money.”
When Yeonjeokha got up, Simtongdo stood up from his seat.
“Is old Sim going too?”
“You don’t have anything to do anymore, do you?”
“That’s it.”
I did not oppose the serialization.
Now that he found out that the identity of the thief was the Demonic Cult, there was no need for his heartache to move.
***
Burn Village.
South Yeongaek store.
The two of them ran to the entrance of the burn village in less than one day (about 20 minutes).
In the meantime, the number of stores increased noticeably, probably because there were a lot of people in the burn village.
Yeonjeokha, who was looking around, murmured.
“There are a lot of shops I haven’t seen before? What’s going on in this corner of the country?”
The village at the bottom of Mount Obong has not changed a bit over the years.
No, rather, the number of vacant houses increased, and no new buildings were built.
However, when I entered the village, I felt that it was quite busy, unlike the past when it was quiet.
“That’s right. I don’t know what kind of development it is all of a sudden in such a remote place.”
The old heartache also tilted its head with a face that did not understand why.
Not only did the stores increase, but the streets were crowded with people.
Half of them appeared to be merchants. The corners of his mouth went up slightly.
“There are so many people, so the inn will do well.”
He shook his head as if he agreed with his heartache.
It was a good thing because if there were a lot of people, the number of customers in the inn would naturally increase.
After walking a little, Namyeon Gaekjeom came into view.
It was around noon, but already the inn looked busy with customers coming in and out.
When Yeon Jeok-ha and Sim-tong went inside, Sang-do ran to them with delight.
“Confucius! Welcome! Have you been here for a long time?”
I laughed for no reason at the voice that had grown quite thick as if it had gone through a change of voice.
“Nam Sojeo?”
“You are cleaning your room. You will be coming down soon.”
“Can’t you see the old man? Did you go out for a drink again?”
Then, Sang Il-woon, who was at the counter, came out and said softly.
“Elder M passed away in the fall of the year before last. I sent a letter to Confucius through the Inuipyo Bureau, but there was no one, so they brought it back.”
“Ah…”
A sigh escaped from the young enemy’s mouth.
It was unfortunate that such a thing happened when I was in Guju.
I never thought Nam Cho-gyeol, who had been calming down as much as my heartache, would leave so suddenly…
Nam Soo-kyung, who was coming down from this floor at the same time, found Yeonjeok-ha and ran to it in a month.
“Yeon Gongja.”
“I heard about your grandfather. Didn’t you hear from me because I was away? If I had known, I would have rushed to you right away…”
“I heard a rumor that the senior consort went missing. I’m glad you came back safely.”
“How did Grandpa suddenly become like that?”
“I haven’t been feeling well since the summer of last year. The lawmaker said he was an old man. I thought so, but suddenly his condition deteriorated and he passed away. My grandfather worried a lot about Confucius.”
A lonely smile appeared on Nam Soo-gyeong’s face as she remembered her grandfather.
In fact, Nam Cho-gyeol worried about his granddaughter right before he died.
It was because there was no man who could say this to Nam Soo-kyung until the time he felt death.
Together with Nam Su-gyeong, who has a relationship with him, he visited Nam Cho-gyeol’s grave.
Nam Cho-gyeol’s tomb was located in a sunny place behind Suicide Rock, where Yeon Jeok-ha often went.
Instead of alcohol, a cup of tea, which Nam Cho-gyeol loved, was placed on the grave of Nam Cho-gyeol.
I felt an indescribable feeling of being connected in the face of the death of someone close to me.
It was a different feeling from seeing Lee Cheol-san’s body.
He bowed his head in condolences to Nam Soo-gyeong, who had been standing there blankly for a long time.
Nam Soo-kyung knew his meaning and bowed his head in response.
“Thank you for coming so late. Grandpa will like it too.”
A faint smile formed on Nam Soo-kyung’s lips.
Relationships are so strange.
If Yeonjeokha hadn’t been scammed, I wouldn’t have been able to stay close to him like this.
“Are you planning on continuing to operate the inn?”
“yes. Thanks to the seniors, there is no difficulty in operating.”
“I? Didn’t I do anything?”
“Sambobang and Cheonhwabang are helping the operation of the inn with yin and yang.”
“ah! Three treasures…”
Yeonjeokha, who was shaking his head, asked as if he had suddenly remembered.
“Wasn’t Nokdampyeong a sambobang? How is he these days?”
“There are rumors that you’ve become nice.”
“Don’t believe the rumors, be careful. They say people aren’t rewriting.”
“Whoops! He doesn’t even come around the inn.”
“Good luck then. By the way, the village has developed tremendously? Doesn’t it help the inn too?”
“sure. But since the business is doing well, I think there will be competitors.”
“competitor? Who set up an inn in Burns Village?”
“Do you know Sangbang Mandeok?”
“I think I’ve heard of it, but I’m not sure. you know I am not interested in that.”
“Foot! In the past, my grandfather tried to sell the inn there.”
“You said you were trying to sell the inn? when?”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Nam Soo-gyeong with a startled face.
Still, he owns half of it, but what do you mean by this!
“Don’t be too surprised. It was long before the senior was scammed and pretended to be the owner.”
“aha!”
“After that, I visited my grandfather a few more times, but gave up when I found out he had a co-owner. When it was difficult to take over the Namyeon Hotel, they decided to build a new one.”
“Isn’t two inns a bit too many in Burns Village?”
“A lot. But they say it’s okay because the village will grow bigger in the future.”
“Yah! You mean you don’t want to see other people do well?”
“There will be no problem if the burn village gets bigger… but until then, I think the competition will be fierce.”
“It’s not that the village is growing like bean sprouts, it’s too much.”
“Still, what is not hostile to our inn? If they come out viciously, we might be ruined.”
“If we perish, they perish too.”
“Are they going to fail?”
“Oh, I’m going to go and break it. If you break someone else’s bowl, it’s only natural that you break your own bowl as well.”
“ha ha ha! When I meet Haengsoo Jang, I will definitely tell you the story of Confucius.”
“If you add one more restaurant, it will be difficult to operate for the time being?”
“I will. I have to make a lot of money for seniors, but I’m sorry, what should I do?”
“are you okay. To be honest, I came here thinking of handing over my stake back to the elderly, but it must be difficult, right?”
Considering that he would compete with Mandeok Sangbang’s inn, Nam Soo-kyung had to have enough money.
“Even if it becomes difficult, I will take care of the seniority share so that it is not lacking, so don’t say such things.”
Nam Soo-kyung jumped up.
She didn’t want to end her partnership with Yeon Jeok-ha.
This is because the only person you can rely on emotionally is your brother-in-law.
Yeon Jeok-ha also nodded, knowing her heart.
“okay. Instead, the distribution is fair. I have to share the burden too. If you reduce your share because business is not working, I’m like a vicious jeonju. I just hate that.”
“all right. As for the equity issue, we will discuss it again when the operation is stable to some extent.”
She also knew that it would be difficult for Yeonjeokha to hold shares in the inn until the end.
Above all, the distance between Namyeongaekjeom and Seokgyeongjang is too far.
As a result, it was not easy to send the proceeds to him every year.
I said ‘when the operation is stable’, but actually ‘when the mind is stable’ is the correct expression.
It seems that Yeon Jeok-ha thought so too.
He had been listening quietly and asked abruptly.
“Are you not getting married?”
“I don’t want to make marriage a refuge.”
“Who said that? I’m saying this because I’m glad I got married. Isn’t it okay to have someone next to you who will grow old with you?”
“As long as there is a senior citizen, I will not decline. However, there are many men like Nokdampyeong around me. I don’t even want to think about it.”
“Do you know that people like me are common? Then you become a grandmother. Look around halfway between me and Nokdampyeong.”
“Foot! If there is such a person, I will consider it.”
“But don’t even think about living with just anyone. Life gets tiring when you meet a strange guy.”
“Thank you for thinking about it. But do you think I’ll be living with just anyone?”
“No, that’s what I did out of old age. let’s go.”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who suddenly turned around, strode towards the inn.
I stayed for three days at the Namyeon Inn.
The Namyeon guesthouse is the first ‘own house’ he owned after running away from Waryongjang.
As such – it was small and shabby compared to the opening inn – but it had a special meaning to him.
He spends time rolling around in his room, relieving physical and mental fatigue that has accumulated over the years.
The day it has been eight days since the top arrived at the opening.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Sim-tong returned to the inn before Teng Wen-yong anxiously searched for them.
just as expected?
After Lian Zhihe and his heartache returned, Teng Wenyong visited the inn in the morning and evening.
In words, he said, ‘I came to greet you,’ but in reality, it was to prevent the drip from leaking to other places.
Ten days after arriving at the opening, a procession gathered in front of the inn.
Now is the time to return to the saints.
As soon as he found the wagon he was riding in, he jumped over the load.
After confirming that he had settled down, Ha Hu-chan, the leader of the escort, Taesan Sword, snapped his hand.
More than fifty wagons and hundreds of merchants and porters began moving slowly.
***
The number of wild vegetables and water vegetables belonging to the green forest is seventy-two.
Among them, there are decent places like Obong Sanchae, but most of them are not.
In particular, there are wild vegetables called Hanam Samak in Hanam.
Among them, the most evil place is Jeokryongchae.
In particular, Jongrimok, the blood emperor of Jeokryongchae, was famous for eating human flesh.
He embroidered the words “life and death” on the blue-green flag of the green forest.
flutter. flutter.
Oh Gye-joong, the vice-owner of Geumrindae, who checked the flag stuck in the guard, hurriedly returned to the escort.
What he saw was that his face was white.
Gu Myeong-hyeon, the head of the Golden Lin Daeju, with one shoulder tied tightly with a cloth, lightly frowned.
“Ogyejung. What kind of fuss are you making?”
“It was a big deal. It is a new life and death number.”
The upper body of Goo Myeong-hyeon, who was standing upright, staggered at how surprised he was at the moment.
This is because the birth and death number meant the appearance of a notorious blood relative.
