Episode 624. You can’t eat it.
The first five days of September.
Cheonjubong.
Daeragak.
hourly (4:00 am).
Over a hundred people broke through the darkness of dawn and gathered in front of Daeragak.
All of them are more than ‘Wonyoung Chilseong’.
The Jinin came out half an hour earlier (an hour) earlier than the announced time and wandered around the yard.
Around the time of Yeonjeokhado, I went to Baekunjeong.
If you go late and miss the party, you have to wait three more years, so you are in a hurry.
The closer I got to Daeragak, the stronger I felt.
“They are diligent people,” he muttered in his heart.
In this way, he made an effort to separate them from himself, who was not usually in a hurry.
Entering the yard, I saw Jinin gathered in groups of threes and threes.
It seems that the habit of a disciple of a sect who originally does not get along with others is an exception at this time.
Do you think that ‘if we unite, we live, if we scatter, we die’?
It reminded me of my teacher’s advice, ‘Don’t look left and right, just look forward and run’.
The day was still pitch-black, but the vision of the true men was bright.
A few true men who knew Yeonjeokha naturally moved on.
But there were also people who avoided it.
Shin Yi-seung and Jin-in were like that.
He had put off taking revenge against his younger brother until he obtained the Sword Spirit. So I quietly moved away from him so as not to be seen by him as much as possible.
Eun So-sun and Jin-in smiled and started talking.
“Yeon Jin-in. Are you out early?”
“Somehow.”
I accepted Eun So-seon’s words.
It’s because it’s hard to pretend you don’t know again after having a conversation before.
The dark-skinned Jinin, who came a step late, bowed silently.
“long time no see. Yeon Jin-in.”
“Ah yes.”
Yeonjeokha replied with a slightly embarrassed face.
Still, it’s not difficult to deal with Eun So-seon as a motive, but Geom Seo-rin was very burdensome.
Eun So-seon, who was looking at Geomseo-rin with a slightly surprised face, asked sneakily.
“Does sword Jin-in know Yeon Jin-in?”
“I came to know about it while attending Cheonaegok.”
Eun So-seon said with a puzzled face at Jin-in’s respect.
“As a swordsman Jin, I’m a junior, so please let go of the word.”
Knowing that Eun So-seon was a new disciple, Geom Seo-rin nodded.
“Sure. Are you in sync with Yeon Jin-in?”
“yes. However, when Yeon Jin-in was in Sogyeokgak, I made a big mistake, so I can’t even say that I am a motive now.”
Eun So-seon did not hide her relationship with her younger brother.
I revealed it in advance because I thought I would show an awkward side if I stayed together anyway.
Geomseorin didn’t ask more about the word ‘small gap’.
It is because he knows how the Sogyeokgak disciples are treated in Soyojong.
As the atmosphere started to get a little heavy, Geomseorin changed the topic.
“This unexplored place is Mt. Wangok in Yeongcheonju, isn’t it?”
“I heard that.”
Eun So-seon, a disciple of Venerable Taeeul, nodded as if she knew.
Yeonjeokha, who had no back stomach, looked at Geomseorin with surprised eyes.
I knew that the unexplored region was spread in Guju, but Wang Oksan in Yeongcheonju.
“Can I know that in advance?”
“Because servants and gentlemen can detect the location of unexplored regions.”
“ah.”
When Yeonjeokha nodded, the members of the Juyeokbong union, who were the owners of Daeragak, appeared.
The scattered Jinin quickly gathered in front of the main union.
When the jinn gathered together, the number reached one hundred and twenty.
On the way to Mt. Wangok, the Jinin chose people to accompany them in the unexplored region.
The leading role union mentioned two or three, but in reality, two did not form a group.
All in all, it can be said that three people are a complete combination, and five are exploring each other.
So, now, Wang Wu and Jinin proposed to Yeon Jeok-ha to form a group.
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Jin-in Wang Woo and Jin-in Eun So-seon with a sullen face.
He was planning to travel alone in the unexplored region, but he was not very happy with the offer to accompany him.
“Thank you for your words, but I like being alone.”
Yeonjeokha politely refused.
Wang Yu Jinyin looked blankly at Yeonjeokha, then turned around.
This is the first time he has been rejected by someone since he became a disciple of Venerable Taeeul.
Eun So-seon silently bowed as if he knew that, and followed Wang Woo and Jin-in.
I sat down on a thick cotton cloth at a distance from the people I was dating.
As if they hadn’t formed a group yet, twenty or so Jinin were busily walking around.
Is the old jowon dead?
Or maybe he was kicked out by his teammates from three years ago.
Thinking about it made me feel kind of sad.
He took out the Byeokgokdan from the hunting bag and put it in his mouth.
I rolled it a few times with my tongue, and I felt a bitter taste, so I just chewed it before I could dissolve it.
After swallowing the Byeokgok Dan, which clung to his molars, the feeling of hunger disappeared after a while.
“Yah! Byeokgokdan of the sect is different.”
Byeokgokdan, which he ate at Gangho, did not even satisfy his hunger.
It’s not because it’s tasteless, but if it’s this good, I don’t think I’ll have to hang myself on the fleet.
When the sun went down, the jinn stopped wandering around.
It must have been a group, or it was postponed until tomorrow because it thought it would be a nuisance to others.
When darkness fell, the serial killer, who was sitting upright, lay down with one arm on his back.
At that moment, a rustling sound came from the nearby thicket.
As I held my breath and stayed still, a fat rabbit appeared.
I thought that the Jinin who was close to the rabbit in love would catch and eat it.
However, the Jinin did not show interest in rabbits.
The rabbit, emboldened by the appearance of the true people, wandered around.
Then, it finally reached the bottom of the line.
‘What kind of rice cake is this?’
In the blink of an eye, he snatched the rabbit.
Then, he quickly cut the rabbit’s neck, drew blood, and peeled off the skin coolly.
Successively, he gathered branches from the surroundings, set them on fire, and then put the rabbit on the tree and gently turned it to bake.
The smell of grilled meat spread through the night breeze.
When the meat was golden brown, he took out the salt from the steamer and sprinkled it on the meat.
I haven’t even put it in my mouth yet, but I’m already happy.
While he was looking at the rabbit meat with a satisfied smile, Eun So-sun approached him.
“I don’t give.”
He didn’t even look at Eun So-seon, who was dating.
‘It looks like he smelled it, but he didn’t notice it. If I exchange it with the fleet, I don’t know?’
However, the words that came out of Eun So-seon’s mouth were completely different from what he expected.
“Yeon Jin-in. You can’t eat it.”
“What are you talking about?”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Eun So-seon with a puzzled face.
“It is said that food is forbidden while going to Mt. Wangok, as well as in unexplored places.”
“why?”
“To accept the sword spirit, the body must be clean. It must be distinguished from the secular world. That’s why other Jinn are also cleaning their insides with Byeokgokdan or Seondan. Didn’t you know?”
“omg!”
Yeon Jeok-ha trembled at the sight of the well-roasted rabbit meat.
Somehow, the true people didn’t catch the rabbit.
Since there are no people around me who have experienced the unexplored world, I make mistakes in these trivial things.
He kicked the roast rabbit meat with his feet and threw it into the fire.
“thanks.”
I hated Eun So-seon, but I am grateful for it.
He did not show it, but at this moment accepted her again as a motive for initiation.
