Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 998
998 times. It’s not the world I was hoping for
at the end of September.
Twelve Bangpas under the Hocheonmaeng, which remained in Namjikryeseong until the end, changed their affiliation to the Nammaeng.
Since all of them were breakwaters built by the secular disciples of Chilpaimun, they were accepted as very symbolic.
No one doubted that Namjikryeseong was the owner of Nammaeng anymore.
In addition, it was naturally proven that the Hocheon League could not advance into Namjakryeseong, the territory of the Southern Alliance.
Rumors like a lightning strike followed when the Hocheon Alliance was keenly aware of the next move of the South Alliance.
“Mugeukmun leaves Namjiryeseong.”
“Even Mugeukmun, the Chilpai Gate, collapsed under the control of the Southern Alliance.”
“It is said that Wu Geuk Wen is moving the Wen Sect to Zhejiang Province. Will Wu Gewen take his place as the new loser of Zhejiang Province? Shall we raise the world again and reclaim the land?”
Due to the sudden news of Mugeuk Moon’s relocation, Chilpai Gate sank like a sinking ship, and the Southern League rose with the momentum of rising sun.
Hosangs made a noise that the Nam Maeng would not be satisfied with Nam Ji Rye.
Looking at the past of the Southern Alliance, it was difficult to say that it was speculation.
This is because they once commanded more than 150 breakwaters outside Namjiryeseong Fortress when Hocheonmaeng was infamous.
Since the ambitious Sword King and Namcheon, the best man in the world, reconciled, it was only a matter of time before the Southern League advanced outside.
Hefei.
Seokgyeongjang.
around noon.
An unexpected guest visited Seokgyeongjang.
Wu Geuk Moon’s Cheon Gong Do Jang Hak Moon Ju came to meet Yeon Jeok Ha.
Yeon-jeok-ha, who was playing with her daughter, went out to the guest room at the heartbreaking words, “a guest has arrived.”
“You don’t seem to be out drinking these days, do you?”
At Yeonjeokha’s words, Simtong replied bluntly.
“It is the same logic as Confucius playing with Jian.”
“You mean you’re doing it to play with me?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Then why did you think that I was unfaithful?”
“I thought, of course, that the price of alcohol had gone down.”
“oh my. I’m not that drunk.”
While speaking, the audience was reached.
Simtong only guided them to the guest hall, then turned around and left.
Janghak Munju, who discovered Yeonjeokha, got up from his seat and went to town.
“Namcheon Grand Gorge. long time no see.”
“Yes, I see.”
After a while, Yeon Jeok-ha and Jang Hak Mun-ju sat facing each other.
Changhak Munju was the first to get lucky.
“I stopped by to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye?”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Jang Hak Mun-ju with a cold face.
It may not be possible, but he was surprised that his work had been known to the outside world.
“I don’t know if you have heard. This time, Wujimen has moved to Hangzhou. Before leaving Nanjing, I would like to greet Namcheon Daehyeop.”
“ah! I was surprised to hear it too.”
He stopped talking and kept his mouth shut with an ambiguous face.
For some reason, the cause seems to be in the Southern Alliance.
just as expected?
Changhak Munju said with a bitter expression.
“The pressure from the Southern League was so severe that I couldn’t stand it. It was difficult to obtain daily necessities because all the customers were blocked.”
“…”
There was nothing to say about the combination.
It was because it was said that Wu Geuk-mun of the world had to leave Nanjing to live.
“Still, the text is on the lucky side. Do you know what happened to the 12 clans under Hocheonmaeng that remained in Namjilgyeseong?”
I shook my head in a row.
I only heard rumors that the 12 clans of the Hocheon League went over to the Nam League, but I didn’t know the details.
“The seven clans voluntarily changed their affiliation to the Southern Alliance… but the situation of the five clans is not good. All of the lords who had strong loyalty to the priestess died violently at the same time.”
“Dead?”
“Yes, all the people who corrected it died within a month or two. They were members of the Hocheonmaeng clan who remained in Namjikryeseong, so they were people who came and went separately from me.”
“….”
“It must have been a situation similar to the main text. If you block the deal through the upper side… you won’t have the ability to hold on. I heard that you were beaten by renegades while still holding on.”
“Who said that?”
“It must be true because it was secretly conveyed by the families of the deceased lords. They asked me to avenge them… but since the text was also at the crossroads of life and death, I was of no help.”
I didn’t feel good about dating.
The pressure from the Southern Alliance and the change caused by the renegades were unexpected.
“I have no resentment for Namcheon Grand Hyeop. However, I wanted to ask if this is really the world Namcheon Daehyeop wants. So, I will visit you before you leave.”
Yeonjeokha, who had been listening silently, raised her eyes and saw Janghak Munju.
“I will also ask you one question. Weren’t there any unfair deaths in Murim, where Chilpaimun ruled?”
“There must have been.”
“People close to the deceased come to Chilpaimun and ask, ‘Is this the world you want?’ What would you say if asked?”
“Our Chilpaimun did not turn away even after knowing the unfortunate situation. Befitting the name of the political party, I tried to relieve the opponent’s injustice. Of course, I did some bad things sometimes.”
“okay.”
Chang Hak Moon-ju confessed, “Sometimes I did things that were insulting,” so I didn’t risk a relationship.
It is true that Chilpaimun often pursued consultations, although he often did bad things.
“Now is it my turn to answer? It’s not the world I hoped for. However, there are also aspects of Chilpai Moon being like this because of its own merits. If Master Wongong, Taeheo Jinin, Mugeuksang, Mu Sangdoje Uicheon Geomzon, hadn’t tried to kill Sword King Maengju. They wouldn’t have been hurt either. If that were the case, the 12 clans of Namjiryeseong and the Mugeukmun would have been able to live peacefully. It’s not that the Sword King Maenglord and the Nammaeng don’t notice Hocheonmaeng very much.”
“…”
Munju Chang Hak didn’t agree with that, but he couldn’t even refute it.
It was because if the top 10 masters of Chilpaimun were alive and well, the tyranny of the Southern League would have been less than it is now.
In a way, it can be seen that the sky helped the South.
If Ho Cheon-Meng had known that ‘Sooner or later Yeon Jeok-Ha will disappear from Murim’, he would not have thought of the joint efforts of the masters of the 10th century.
After a while, Munju Changhak left with a farewell message.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him until the long-suffering scholarship holder disappeared.
My heart felt stuffy when I thought of the tragedy that occurred in the Mugeukmun and the Five Munpas, who were expelled from their livelihoods.
―I have no resentment toward the Namcheon Grand Hyeop. However, I wanted to ask if this is really the world Namcheon Daehyeop wants. So, I would have visited before leaving.
The words of Changhak Munju lingered in my ears.
I didn’t want to lose earlier, so I asked back, ‘How was Chill Pai Moon?’
But that was just a trick to avoid the opponent’s point.
‘It’s time to leave.’
It was only now that he seemed to understand why Namgung-yeon pushed his back.
I have to go before my resentment towards the Sword King deepens.
He is a person with strong acting power.
Returning to the main house, he immediately called together the family members of Seokgyeongjang.
Wol-ah and Geum-ah took Ji-an to the floor without noticing.
Nam Gung-yeon, Shim Tong, and Dan Un-mang, who gathered in the room where they were dating, announced their intention to leave today.
People were taken aback for a moment, but soon accepted it.
“Gongja. Have a good trip. I have to follow you…”
“Don’t worry, Chief Seokgyeong. I am making a jeoldog that can dissolve even the greatest masters in seven steps.”
I laughed at the heartache and tang-yun-mang words of dating.
Maybe it’s like that until the end, I don’t know.
Eventually, when Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Namgung-yeon with sympathetic eyes, he got up and went outside.
Namgungyeon, who was silent, asked as if passing by.
“Why did you come to the scholarship gate?”
“What did you ask?”
“what?”
After hesitating for a moment, Yeon Jeok-ha answered with a tone that it was nothing.
“Is this really the world I wanted?”
“I see. I thought it would be like that because the scholarship holder came. He is a person with a bold side.”
“That’s why I called it causal retribution.”
I dropped the words of the relationship in front of me and just said the conclusion.
It was because he did not want to disturb Namgung-yeon when he was leaving – because of the Southern Alliance.
At his consideration, Namgoongyeon smiled calmly.
“Where do you plan to go now?”
“Is there a shrine for Gucheonhyeonnyeo in the non-partisan faction?”
“It’s almost all of the larger conduits, so you probably have them.”
“Then I will go to the non-partisan faction. After saying thanks, I’m going to stop by the Oryong Palace.”
“Yes, please make sure to say thank you to Jang Moon-in.”
If it wasn’t for the shaman faction, the Sword King would have died, so it was only natural to say hello.
“Okay.”
“really. And just in case, if you go to the ‘fourth heaven’.”
“yes.”
“Take care of the Gucheon Sword Spirit until the last moment.”
“why?”
“If rumors of the Nine Heaven Swordsman’s Spirit circulate, even the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Temple will know that you have come. Then I will find a way to deal with you. Maybe hide somewhere you won’t find it. Either way is unfavorable to you, so it’s better not to use it unless it’s unavoidable. If you are in a situation where you need to take out the Nine Heaven Sword Spirit, do not leave witnesses as much as possible.”
“ah!”
In an instant, the spirit of serialization flashed.
Indeed, it is as she said.
It was his loss as much as he knew and prepared for it first.
After a while, Yeonjeokha, who went out to the floor, lifted Jian, who was playing with Wol-ah and Geum-ah, and hugged her tightly.
When Jian struggled, he relaxed his arm.
“Jian, Dad, I’ll go somewhere and come back. In the meantime, listen carefully to mom and have fun with the older sisters. Understand?”
“yes.”
With a regretful face, he reluctantly put Jian down.
Wol-ah and Geum-a, who were quick-witted, spoke one word at a time.
“Have a good trip, sir.”
“We will take good care of the accident.”
“Yes, I believe in you.”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been watching Jian for a while, went down to the yard.
Clouds gathered beneath his feet.
Namgungyeon, who was standing holding Jian’s hand, suddenly shouted.
“Hey enemy!”
“yes?”
“Don’t be late! Bye!”
“Okay.”
He waved his hand with a calm face.
Clouds rose high above the stone sutras, but his eyes were still on Namgoongyeon and Jian.
Only after Namgung-yeon told him to go, the clouds slowly left the sky as if pushed by the wind.
***
Early October.
starlight.
Wudang Mountain.
around dusk.
A cloud settled near the prose gate of the Mudang faction.
Soon after, a young man walked out of the clouds.
He is a long-time enemy who left Hefei three days ago.
Having flown 1,500 li (about 600 km), he looked quite haggard.
It is because the state of mind is not comfortable rather than physical fatigue.
As a courtesy to Samun, he took fortune-telling and slowly walked to Sanmun.
As we approached the mountain gate, three young Taoists blocked our way.
For an instant, the eyes of the guru and Yeonjeokha met.
However, the guru with low angryeol could not recognize Yeonjeokha.
“The main gate is prohibiting outsiders from entering for the time being. If you are a tourist, please visit us again next time.”
Yeonjeokha, who had been hesitant, said while talking.
“Teacher, I am a disciple of Ohryonggung and my name is Namcheon. May I come in?”
At his introduction, the masters, who had blinked their eyes in bewilderment, bent their backs.
Before long, Doyoung, the leader of the guru, pointed to the inside of the mountain gate.
“Namcheon Daehyeop! I didn’t even know. Eat inside.”
Yeon Jeok-ha strode away, and Do-young followed him with quick steps.
“Namcheon Grand Gorge. So, did you visit the Oryong Palace today?”
“For now.”
After that, I plan to look for Jang Moon-in. However, I had no intention of saying such a thing to a guru I met for the first time.
“I see.”
Shortly thereafter, the crossroads between Sangcheong Palace and Ohryong Palace appeared.
When Yeonjeokha entered the direction of Oryonggung, Doyoung rushed towards Sangcheonggung.
