Episode 97: I have good news (2)
Finally, the opportunity to practice the world-class divine skill, the Bulmun Lion God, has come.
Jinsan Yu could not hide his joy.
“Is that really true?”
Pungho continued his explanation by presenting to him the data he had researched in the dark room.
“Yes, this is Sima Xuan. It is said that there is no field that he has not mastered, including historical studies, astronomy, and the complex calendar. It is said that he is also fluent in deciphering Sanskrit language as he has experience studying in Cheonchuk.”
“What a great friend. “Where is he now?”
“It’s not difficult to find. “He is already famous as a genius scholar in Sichuan Province.”
Sichuan Province is not close to Gaebong.
For ordinary people, it takes at least a month, and even for martial arts people capable of light techniques, it usually takes 10 days.
“...Sichuan Province. “It’s not a close distance, but it’s worth the effort.”
“But even if we meet, I’m not sure if they’ll be willing to help.”
“What does that mean?”
“After taking a closer look, I think he is a person with strong characteristics. “He absolutely hates lying and his nickname is Sima Wu.”
“Seeing as they added ox (牛) to the end of their name, they seem to be as stubborn as an ox.”
“Yes, I am sure I will not submit to force. Moreover, his bodyguard is also said to be a fearsome expert. “Well, it won’t work for Seol.”
Jinsan Yu folded his arms and gathered his thoughts for a moment.
It might not be as easy as I thought, but I had to face it somehow.
And one more thing.
‘I think I should take this opportunity to stop by Mt. Amisan in Sacheon.’
As long as the destination was decided, there was no need to worry. This was because there was too long a way to go to run while only looking ahead.
“Thank you. “I always get help from you guys.”
“Don’t say that. If it weren’t for our elders, how would we exist today? But that’s it.”
“What do you mean?”
Pungho paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked.
“Did you notice anything strange on the way here?”
“I don’t know. “We had no time to feel anything because Seol was running so frantically because we wanted to make a bet on who was faster.”
“I was lucky. Perhaps because of what happened at Shaolin Temple, the rumor that the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters appeared in Shaanxi spread widely. “The Murim Alliance’s masters are looking for us with their eyes lit up.”
It was a situation that was predicted to some extent. Because that was the uproar at Shaolin Temple.
Rather, it would be strange if it was quiet.
“I’m leaving here soon anyway, so what does it matter?”
“Still, you’d better hurry. Murim Alliance informants were spotted stationed at every street corner. “According to information, all the Hanam masters are on emergency standby.”
Although the granddaughter’s martial arts level is at the level of the absolute, her strength is wide and there are many experts.
Even in Hanam, the center of the central region, there must have been several absolute experts who were considered top players.
Even Master Hyegwang of the Shaolin Temple was not a difficult opponent to deal with.
“Like you said, there is no harm in being careful. “We’ll be leaving in a moment.”
“yes. But are you going to use the waterway?”
“It takes too long to travel by boat. “I plan to cross Hamgok Pass and pass through Shaanxi.”
“good idea. And take this.”
As Pungho held out a small pouch on the table, Yujinsan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“...?”
“I saved up some travel expenses so that I can leave as soon as I arrive.”
“are you okay. Why are you giving me all this?”
“You may be fine, but you can’t starve even Seol.”
In fact, Yujinsan also did not have deep pockets. In some cases, I would even have to take away my granddaughter’s allowance.
“Well, since you said that, I guess I’ll just accept it.”
Looking at it’s weight, it seemed to contain quite a lot of hermits.
Around the time he packed his suitcase in his arms.
The Ark’s office opened and the people who had been waiting came.
“Grandpa, am I pretty? “Hyunhee said she made it for me.”
Yoo Seol was holding Hyun Hee’s hand and smiling. He was wearing a white fur hat shaped like a rabbit on his head.
Even so, I felt uncomfortable because I had shaved all of my granddaughter’s hair.
Yu Jin-san nodded repeatedly with a happy face.
If you’re a beggar, it’s probably an open place.
From the point of view of Heukyabang, which sells information, it was its biggest competitor and natural enemy.
“This has really become a headache....”
“Don’t worry too much, Lord Ark. “Yanghyeon has only recently opened, so not only is there no important information, but we also don’t know the location of the headquarters.”
“That’s not the problem. If Yanghyeon was robbed, wouldn’t the location of the southern branch be exposed? “It can never be as good as there.”
The southern branch was in charge of the southern region of Hanam.
I knew a woman named Eun Hwarin, who was in charge of the southern branch of Eugene Mountain. Because he was the one who came to the guest house where he was staying and showed him the location.
And the woman he remembers was a person full of grace and great resourcefulness.
‘If that place collapses, the entire power of the Black Night could be shaken.’
As expected, the atmosphere in the office became darker.
“I have to protect it somehow. “I will quickly organize reinforcements first.”
“If opening up was what we wanted to do, our kids wouldn’t have been able to do it. Now that things are like this, we have no choice but to ask for support from Sun Moon Gate.”
Ilwolmun and Heukyabang, both affiliated with the Sadyoryeon, were collaborating closely.
A symbiotic relationship in which military force is provided in exchange for information and funding.
It was just a relationship of conflicting interests, and they did not completely trust each other.
“Then... is it okay for the location to be revealed to the Sun and Moon Gate?”
“doesn’t care. “As long as you don’t boast that Honghuaru in Huagang County was an important branch that oversees the southern region.”
It is not a big problem for a few secret branches to be exposed to business associates.
However, there was no need to reveal the weaknesses of the Black Yabang, which was structured like a point organization. It was a world full of betrayal and intrigue.
“I understand what you mean. But I am worried that it may already be too late.”
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it on time. I guess I’ll have to leave it to heaven’s will. “Send the one with the fastest feet.”
“Yes, Ark.”
After a while, Hongki finished the conversation and hurried out of the office.
At that point, Eugene San and her granddaughter were no longer there.
* * *
Josun, who had escaped Gaebongseong Castle, was holding hands and running side by side.
Yu Jin-san’s face showed deep concern.
This is because, once I learned about Heukyabang’s situation, I was reluctant to just pass by.
However, it was not possible to just go and help.
If the Yin-Yang twin monsters, who are being pursued by the Murim Alliance, openly help the Black Yabang, it could actually make things worse.
‘Honghwaru in Huagang County...’
If you wanted to, it was also a place you could pass through before entering Shaanxi.
The problem is that I’m not sure about the plan.
It was at that time that his worries reached their peak.
“Grandpa, are we going to Honghwaru?”
It seemed like Yoo Seol understood the situation in his own way.
These days, my tact has been unusual.
“Do you know what Honghwaru is doing?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“There’s drinking and courtesans there... No, it’s a place where kids can’t go.”
“You still have to go in. “I can go in.”
What does it mean to say that a small thing knows something?
Jinsan Yu took a look at his granddaughter’s face.
I laughed when I saw him wearing a rabbit hat and making a serious expression.
“There is no place you cannot penetrate with your strength. “Do you want to help?”
“huh. Hyunhee made us a hat, so we should repay the favor. Grandpa said that. “If you received something, you must return it.”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Jin-san Yu’s face.
‘Since when does he talk so logically?’
It seemed admirable that the granddaughter was able to clearly assert her opinions for the first time in a while.
All you have to do is find a way. It was a problem that there was no need to worry about in the first place.
As the head of the family, how could you show shame in front of your granddaughter?
“Yes, you are right. That is human nature and human duty. “Our Seol is all grown up now.”
My grandfather’s high praise caught my ear.
“Hehe. Let’s go quickly!”
