Chapter 961

Episode 961. Don’t you know what you have to do?

The next afternoon.

Uicheon Geomjon, the leader of Uicheonmun, visited Hocheonmaeng.

Just in time, the Gongsonbang of the Musketeers, who was out at the front gate, offered to escort Uicheon Geomjon to the leader’s office.

Sword Master Uicheon, who was walking with him, asked insinuatingly.

“I heard rumors of Shaolin Temple, but what exactly is the situation?”

“The Hocheon Alliance support unit was pushed back by the South Alliance and repeatedly retreated to Wabu Lake. Then I met the Shaolin Temple support unit. Nammaeng, who did not know that, was beaten by Shaolin Temple while pushing Hocheonmaeng. It seems that it was difficult to identify each other due to heavy rain that night. In the midst of the melee, Namgungcheon was seriously injured and survived. Shaolin Temple said that he survived, but became a dead man.”

“Huh! He’s the most outstanding person among the latter ranks, but somehow... Tsk!”

“But right after that happened, it is said that someone tried their hand at Shaolin Temple.”

Gongsonbang did not specifically name who he was.

Even though he said it like that, Sword Master Uicheon perfectly understood it.

“Did you break the shield?”

“The Daeungjeon Janggyeonggak Thousand Buddha Halls have been crumbled.”

“I heard rumors that they called in disciples who had descended from Shaolin Temple. So, what do you plan to do next?”

Uicheon Geomjon wondered why the newly appointed long-time ambassador, Gong Gong, had given such an order.

‘Could it be that he is trying to take a step back from the war with the South?’

If that’s really the case, I’m thinking of telling them not to actively participate in Uicheonmun.

“Even otherwise, Gongson-am came to see the great Gong Gong.”

“Gongson cancer? Are you referring to the person whose nasal bone was knocked down by Namcheon before?”

“yes.”

“Tsk! Even if I send someone like that...”

Uicheon Geomjon thought that even a musketeer was not normal.

Sending a man with a broken nose to Shaolin Temple after being hit by a enemy enemy.

Did he think that since he was beaten by the same person, he would be able to relate?

Uicheon Swordsman, who shook his head with a disapproving face, continued to speak.

“so?”

“He said that he had to focus on reconstruction for the time being, so it was difficult to participate as before.”

“Are you going to step out?”

“Rather than that, they said they needed time to rebuild the collapsed temple...”

Gongsonbang made an excuse for the empty ambassador.

It is for the solidarity of the Yukpaimun, who has to fight the Southern Alliance without the Shaolin Temple.

However, the old Uicheon swordsman did not fall for such an obvious voice.

“joy! Architecture is what carpenters do. Aren’t monks building temples?”

“That’s right... But if the inside is chaotic, wouldn’t it be difficult to focus on the outside?”

“I heard you. It’s a pity that the Shaolin Temple has withdrawn.”

“...”

Beads of sweat formed on Gongsonbang’s forehead.

The heat in midsummer is also sweltering, but it became like that when I put all my energy into the conversation with Uicheon Swordsman.

In the meantime, the two arrived at Mumungak, the chief’s office.

Gongsonbang showed up to Uicheon Geomjon and left as if he were running away.

***

Unwritten.

Finally, the Mugeuk Merchant and Uicheon Swordsman sat face to face.

The Mugeuk Merchant poured tea into Uicheon Geomjon’s teacup and said.

“This is my favorite rain tea. I don’t know if it will fit in your mouth.”

“I heard that the Shaolin Temple withdrew. I’ll have to be careful when dealing with the Sword King. Even if he disowns, it’s because the people of Namcheon are so eccentric.”

Uicheon Geomjon went to the main topic with a reap.

If there was a problem with Namgung Byeok’s safety, it was clear that the related munpa would also face disaster.

In the face of the question of the rise and fall of the Munpa, the taste of tea was irrelevant.

A sigh escaped from the mugeuk merchant’s mouth.

“ha! So I’m worried. This is not known to the outside world, but it is said that ‘the sin of hurting a person’ was written on the front of the Thousand Buddha Hall of Shaolin Temple. What do you mean by that?”

“This is not a warning not to touch the Namgung family. Still, do you intend to fight the Sword King?”

“On the other hand, I’ve been thinking about this. If it was a fair fight between the top 10 masters in the world, I wondered if Namcheon would pass quietly no matter what the outcome. It is a matter related to the face of the Sword King.”

“Hmm!”

A heavy silence flowed from Uicheon Swordsman’s mouth.

Still, it’s a face that seems to be breathing a little.

It was because, no matter how selfish a rival enemy was, it was unlikely that he would say anything about a fair fight between the great masters of the world.

But that doesn’t mean the problem is solved.

“How do you plan to deal with the Sword King?”

“From the beginning, the word “wheel war” should not come out. Why don’t we fight the Sword King with enough time for each person?”

“...”

The startled Cheongryushin shrugged.

The heartache that had been watching her shouted to the sky.

“Sea Pearl! This is not too much! It’s sad that he suddenly died of old age, but he couldn’t even keep his spirit intact! Then what kind of people do you want to be honored! You fucking things!”

The stone sutras jingled at the cry of heartache.

Yeon Jeok-ha, Namgung-yeon, and other members of the family of stone sutras gathered in the commotion.

As the number of people increased, the cheongryu god lowered his head and only rolled his eyes here and there.

“Old Sim, what’s wrong?”

At the question of Yeonjeokha, he said with a sad face.

“The god of the clear stream... doesn’t recognize me. I don’t know where this place is and I don’t know who I am.”

“....”

He turned his head to the spirit of the clear stream.

Just in time, the gazes of Cheongryushin and Yeonjeokha, who were looking at him, intertwined.

Seeing her clouded eyes, Yeon Jeok-ha asked Namgoong-yeon.

“sister. Shinnyu’s eyes are a bit strange. Is that also the effect of the spell?”

“no. Rather, it is the sudden degeneration of the brain with old age. Something that is commonly said to have a ghost...”

“Ah, a ghost.”

Heartache said in a voice full of resentment.

“There is only one thing this woman remembers, but she is a new mother. He only remembers the god mother who brought him to that point. And they were clamoring to send it to the new mother... I couldn’t stand it and said something.”

“Tsk! Can I curse the sky for that?”

“No Sipper! Isn’t it too much if there are gods? There is a degree of making people sick. Why do all the unlucky things happen to one person?”

“Be patient.”

“Yes, you have to be patient. It’s not like yesterday or today that the sky is salty. I have to endure, as I don’t even have the slightest ability.”

“Old Sim.”

“yes.”

“If that’s the case anyway, think of it as a good thing.”

“What is good?”

“Still, you look at the world for forty-nine days. The moment I entered the bell, the clear stream god was over. I bought forty-nine more days as a bonus. Make good memories at the end.”

It was because the god of the clear stream spent half of the forty-five days with heartache.

“Then what do you do? I don’t remember...”

Shen Tong was so angry that Qing Liu Xin had to die without remembering anything.

“It would have been fine until the specter came, though. I think it must have been because I saw old man Sim making a fuss.”

“no way! go to party Let’s go get a drink or something.”

“Is that so...”

Dan Yun-mang couldn’t resist the force of heartache and followed him.

As the people who had gathered dispersed one by one, Namgung-yeon called the women who worked at Seokgyeongjang.

And two of them were entrusted with the care of the god of the clear stream.

After finishing cleaning up, she said to Yeonjeokha, who was still there.

“Men are like children regardless of whether they are old or young.”

“why?”

“Look at Old Sim. If you liked it that much, you should think about taking care of it. You cry alone and go out for a drink. You don’t know what you’re supposed to do, baby.”

I shook my head in a row.

As Namgoongyeon said,

Had she turned a blind eye, the ghostly god of the clear stream would have been neglected.

When I thought about that, Namgungcheon suddenly came to mind.

“sister. Shouldn’t we also go to visit brother?”

“okay.”

Namgoongyeon’s expression darkened as she answered.

My older brother who still can’t get up from his seat and his disillusioned father.

Contrary to the wishes of his father who ran wild for success, the future of the Namgung family was as hopeless as the god of the clear stream.

“Shall we go today because the horns are also sweet?”

“OK.”

Compelled by Namgoongyeon’s languid voice, I glanced back at her.

I was sorry to see her without energy.

It seems that all of Namgung’s misfortune is because of him.

It is well worth the father-in-law to declare his resignation.

If he was his father-in-law, he would have said more than that.

I thought that if I became the number one person in the world, I would live happily ever after, but even if the reality is twisted, it can’t be twisted like this.

‘At least the things that happened because of me should be dealt with...’

He didn’t want to leave for the ‘fourth sky’ – like a heartache after going out for a drink leaving the ghostly god of the clear stream behind.
