Episode 518. When Gong Ji-seop , the ‘hero’ of the new sky and the fallen ‘constellation’,
mentioned Munju, Gong Ji-yu pouted.
“that’s right. Even though our distribution is small, our Munju is accurate in calculations.”
I laughed at the love affair.
For some reason, it seems that Munju is criticizing him for being stingy.
Gong Ji-seop, embarrassed, hurriedly spoke as if to excuse Moon-ju’s position.
“Do you think running a clan is as easy as you think? I should not only think about my position, but also look at the entire Mundo. Imagine that Lord Moon is generous to only a few people. It’s fair to run things like that...”
“Who said what? It’s because they give it little by little evenly.”
Gong Ji-yu stopped talking and whispered to Yeonjeok-ha.
“There is a reason why the members of the crew took it to sell it on the black market. I like all of Moonju, but in that respect, I’m a little bit shy. That’s what I’m trying to do to raise money.”
“Ah...”
He shook his head with an awkward face.
It seemed that it was not normal for the members of the crew to risk their lives to take care of the gallbladder of the ‘longevity immortal bear’.
Gong Ji-seop did not refute any more and just turned away.
It was because the longer he spoke, the more he seemed to insult Munju.
“Still, since I received a lot of help from Yeonsohyeop, I might use it a lot.”
She finished vaguely as if she was not confident.
Seeing that Gong Ji-seop didn’t say anything, it seemed that Moon-joo was really salty.
Finally, the ship docked at the port.
After getting off at the port, Yeon Jeok-ha looked back at the wooden boat with emotion.
It was a difficult sea route to the point where I felt a sense of relief when I stepped on the ground.
I didn’t know that it would be so hard to cross only one river.
How do ordinary people live when even the person at the stage of ‘Yeonheo’ is dangerous?
But it seemed that he was the only one who thought that way.
The villagers who got off the boat swarmed around, chattering as if nothing had happened.
Only the woman who was with the dead man has a gloomy face.
As soon as they were dating, he shook off his thoughts and looked around carefully.
It is a place where there is a wire, so I plan to keep an eye on it.
“Where is this?”
Gong Ji-yu answered his question.
“This is Jogangpogu in Goksu-hyeon. Xiantianmen is in Shanyin County, two days away from here.”
“Ah yes.”
“You want to ride the iron wire?”
“yes.”
“I don’t know if you know, but in the middle of winter, you can’t even go on a railroad. Because the river is frozen solid.”
“Does a river this big freeze?”
“The sea freezes, too. Winter in the Savior is really cold. Even the disciples of the clan don’t go around much, do they?”
“When does winter start?”
“About two months later.”
“Do you go to Guando when the river freezes?”
“What is Guando?”
“It’s a road managed by the state.”
“Ah, you seem to be talking about the public way. that’s right. You have to use the public road.”
“It will take longer if we go by highway, right?”
“Until Hansanju?”
“yes.”
“I don’t know because I haven’t been there, but it will take about three months.”
“It takes about a month longer than the sea route, doesn’t it?”
“Because I often go around the mountains. It will be faster if it goes through the mountain, but because of the beast.”
“Aren’t beasts only in deep places like the Cheongwan Mountains?”
“The wild beast is on every mountain in the Savior.”
At that time, Jung Woo-saeng intervened.
“Are you happy with a beast? If you meet a monster, it’s the end. Even if you are a disciple of a sect, if you do not have a Dharma instrument, you will run away, so it goes without saying for ordinary people.”
“Do you like it?”
Recalling Kang Ho’s Twelve Horsemen, Yeon Jeok Ha asked in surprise.
I guess I’ve come to realize that this world also has its limits.
On the wide open road, two-two wagons and four-two wagons came and went non-stop.
Gong Ji-yu said to Yeon Jeok-ha, who looked at the carriage with envious eyes.
“I have to take you in a carriage, but I’m sorry. It’s because I don’t have enough money on hand.”
“it’s okay. By the way, do you have a carriage to and from the city?”
I asked in preparation for the time when I went to Jogangpogu, where I was connected.
Now I am walking with Gong Ji-seop and the others, but I didn’t want to do that even when I went alone.
“Every city has a post office. You can get a horse or carriage there. You can get a wagon and ride.”
“Can I get a ride?”
“You can ride a carriage with a horse ticket, just like you can get on a boat with four tickets.”
Jung Woo-saeng pointed to the four carriages passing by and said,
“These four wagons are mostly wagons at post offices that travel to and from the city, and you can ride them with horse tickets. There are many privately owned Idu carriages.”
“Then, can we use the four carriages at the station to go to Hansanju?”
“Yes, but there is the inconvenience of having to change trains in the city. Unlike iron lines that run from state to state, wagons only go to the next city. Of course, that is quite a long way.”
“Do you operate carriages at the post office in winter?”
“There aren’t many customers, so you’ll have to wait a bit for a seat to fill up, but I’ll do it.”
“How many people do I have to fill up to move?”
“Six people ride in the quadrupedal chariot. I know that in winter, even if only three people, half of them, move.”
“How long?”
It was reassuring to know that there were only three of us to set off.
Then Gong Ji-yu said a word.
“Few people leave the city in the freezing cold of Muryangha. You will have to wait a few days to get on the wagon at the post office.”
“okay.”
It seemed like he knew how to use the post office to link up.
If it is winter in two months, the river will freeze on the way to Hansanju.
Then, whether we like it or not, we will have to get a quad carriage from the post station in the city.
When I thought of the iron wire and the quadruped carriage, I suddenly thought of money.
‘If I had 30 kittens, I’d be able to get to Hansanju without incident, right?’
The problem comes after arriving at Hansanju.
It is because there is no guarantee that there is a 10-year-old queen in Hansanju, Namgung-yeon, and even if there is, there is no way to know where she is.
It goes without saying, but finding people costs money. A lot of it too.
‘I need to raise money?’
Yeon-jeok-ha, thinking deeply, asked Jeong Woo-saeng, who was walking next to him, insinuatingly.
“Jung Hyung, what would be good to make money in a short time?”
“If it’s a short time, it’s ‘Yeongji Seoncho’.”
Jung Woo-saeng answered right away as if he had nothing to think about.
“’Yeongji Seoncho’?”
“Because ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ is the most active trade in Guju. If you bring it to the top, you will buy it at a high price unconditionally. At the top, it is handed over to the bell gate. I know the difference is significant.”
“ah! You mean buying it from an individual and selling it back to the sect?”
“That’s right. If you bought it from an individual for 10 gold coins, you get 20 gold coins from the clan and hand it over.”
“Twice?”
“There are also things that get tripled. ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ is not saved by saving it.”
“Do I have to go all the way to the Cheongwan Mountain Range again to find ‘Yeongji Seoncho’?”
Yeonjeokha asked with a serious face.
This is because, depending on his answer, he had to go back the way he had come.
“Not like that. Even in Saneumhyeon, where Hyeoncheonmun is located, there is a place to get ‘Yeongji Seoncho’.”
“Then why did you go all the way to the Cheongwan Mountain Range?”
Kong Ji-yu’s answer was faster than Jeong Woo-saeng’s.
“Originally, ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ is common in areas full of spiritual energy. There is such a place in Saneumhyeon. It’s called ‘Wolaksan’ and it’s a mountain full of spirits.”
“Then why did you go all the way to the Cheongwan Mountain Range?”
“Until three years ago, the Saneumhyeon literati went to ‘Wolaksan’. By the way, did I tell you about the monsters earlier?”
“Could it be because of the monsters?”
“that’s right. Since the ‘One-Eyed Ghost’ settled down in ‘Woraksan Mountain,’ ordinary clans have not been able to enter.”
“’One-Eyed Demon’? Is that a human? Or is it a new species?”
Just hearing the name sounds like a strong demon, but I had to confirm that Shinsu also became a demon.
