Episode 314: It’s a matter of life and death (2)
Jigaekdang is one of the palaces where VIPs stay in the Shaman faction.
There now, the yin and yang twin monsters were sitting side by side, clutching chopsticks.
“baby. “It doesn’t really suit your taste?”
“Hmph. What is this?...”
There were a lot of dishes on the table, but there was nothing that Yu Seol liked.
There was only a variety of vegetables, mushroom dishes, rice porridge, and more, and there was not a single piece of meat in sight.
“Still, give it a try. “Where else can you come across a diet with the scent of Mother Nature like this?”
For Yu Jin-san, who was not greedy about eating, the food here was decent.
However, my granddaughter, who loved meat since she was a baby, was a different story.
“Even if I eat it, it doesn’t feel like I’ve eaten it! “The independents lied to us.”
“Uh huh~ Still, it’s not good for face if the evil monster of the world complains about side dishes. Out of sincerity, try eating some. “Isn’t it polite to just leave all this behind?”
Yoo Seol rested his chin and waved his chopsticks on the bowl as if it was none of his business.
After a while. He asked, picking up a handful of vegetables with chopsticks and holding them out behind his back.
“Grandpa, do you want to eat this?”
It was Gwangneungjin who was standing behind Yuseol.
He had no reaction, like a jiangshi.
It is only moving instinctively thanks to the Taegeukpae and Heavenly Sword that Yu Seol possesses. It was literally like a living corpse.
“Just leave it alone. “Would you eat it like that?”
“Chii~ If I had known it would be like this, I would have gone down to the village and bought something to eat.”
Regret washed over me like a flood, but what could I do?
Yoo Seol was grumpy and his mouth was sticking out little by little.
Jin-san Yu also looked worriedly at his unwell granddaughter and comforted her.
“We haven’t finished eating yet, so let’s wait a little longer. “Maybe a meat dish will come next?”
At that moment, Yoo Seol’s eyes turned to the door on the left.
There were two attendants there, fidgeting with their hands clasped together.
“You guys, the food hasn’t all been served yet, right? “You didn’t lie to us, did you?”
The Taoist monks answered Yin Kai’s question in gibberish with pale faces.
“...yes? Ah, perhaps so.”
Even at a glance, I didn’t know much about it.
There would be no use blaming them.
Yoo Seol bit his lower lip and grabbed the Taegeuk pae placed on the table.
As my grip gradually strengthened, the Taegeuk flag, which had been shining brightly, began to vibrate as if it would break.
“Grandpa. Am I right? They tricked us and lured us in with meat. “I was harassed.”
When the situation reached this point, Jinsan Yu could no longer side with the shaman.
He also put down his chopsticks and said.
“Tsk. “I gave you a chance, but I guess my relationship with the shaman faction ends here.”
“Let’s go down first and eat something delicious. “I’m starving to death.”
“OK. And if you destroy it, you won’t get the full price.”
Yoo Seol was shocked and relaxed his grip on the Taegeuk flag.
Finally, he was about to stand up from his seat.
I felt like someone was rushing towards this place.
Suddenly-!
The entrance to the palace opened and someone appeared.
Of course, Yu Seol’s eyes turned to his hand holding the plate.
Then, the face that had been dark all along began to smile happily.
As if that wasn’t enough, laughter burst out of my mouth.
“Hehehehe.”
I could tell just by smelling it.
Now the long-awaited food has finally arrived.
“You’ve been waiting a long time, right? “I was a little late because the main course was originally the last one.”
The person who was out of breath was Mu-yeong, an elder of the shaman sect.
As he was in a hurry, he rushed over with food on behalf of his disciples.
Considering the dignified status of an elder within the sect, this was something that could not have happened normally.
At that time, Jinsan Yu sat back on his chair again and said.
“I would have left if it were a little later.”
Muyoung breathed a sigh of relief and approached with a plate.
“The first main course is beef rump meat. “If you taste this, you will feel a little better.”
Are you a clueless butcher? Yujinsan was also the name of a dish I had never heard of before.
It was natural. This is because it was invented by Elder Muyeong when he came.
Anyway, Yu Jin-san, who was already full, gave all his food to his granddaughter.
“Now that I am done, please bring everything that comes out from now on to Yingui.”
Elder Muyeong also felt that everything was going well.
Wasn’t there a strict order to focus on the mood of the evil one?
He carefully set down the plate and continued his explanation.
“The softest part of the beef was sealed and aged in water for 10 days. “You can enjoy the best texture when you eat it without heat.”
Yoo Seol looked down at the dish while clutching the chopsticks and had a calm expression.
Until now, there has never been an official killing of a shaman sect in the name of the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters.
Except for just one person.
“how? “You know that Taegeuk Sword Master is dead to us.”
At that moment, Muyoung, who had been listening from afar, pricked up his ears.
This was because it was important information from the non-partisan point of view.
“Well, strange rumors started because of the Murim Lord, but we need to clear up the misunderstanding. “Please come here.”
Muyoung asked, pointing to her chest with her finger.
“Are you talking about me?”
Jinsan Yu nodded. And when he approached, I briefly explained what happened.
“Elder Mujin, who was called Taegeuk Sword Emperor, was actually killed by the Invincible Sword of Soyo Mountain Lodge.”
“Is that really true?”
“Why would I lie? However, it was a fair fight and no one was involved in the fight between the two.”
The reason for telling the truth was for Maeng Namcheon’s honor.
It was an obvious fact that he had defeated the Geomje of the Shaman faction, and he had the right to be re-evaluated by the Gangho for that matter.
“Sahyeong was defeated by the Invincible Sword...”
At that time, Jinsan Yu gave a sharp remark to Elder Muyeong, who was feeling sorry for him.
“Anyway, if the shaman faction retaliates against Soyo Sanjang because of that, we will not sit idly by.”
Elder Mujin was blank for a moment and then nodded his head.
Death by execution is a sad thing, but how can it be said that it is miserable when a martial artist dies in a fight?
Moreover, with the yin-yang twin monsters behind him, he couldn’t blame them.
“I will also tell Jang Moon-in.”
“The Yin-Yang Twin Monster doesn’t care about anyone, so do what’s convenient for you.”
After finishing his business, he started watching his granddaughter eat again with a happy face.
The meal continued for about half an hour as the main dishes continued to be served.
* * *
“full. “It was so delicious!”
The sight of my granddaughter patting her stomach with a bright smile made me laugh.
“Now that we’ve eaten, let’s go.”
“But what about the people outside?”
As expected, they were not a shaman who would let them go obediently.
When the door to the guesthouse was opened, a dozen people had gathered.
They were old monks of the Shaman faction who were responsible for running the clan, including scholars and elders.
And there were four Taegeuk swordsmen kneeling in front of them.
“I was wrong. “The great evil!”
“We went crazy for a moment.”
“Forgive me!”
These were the guys who had previously gossiped about themselves in the guesthouse.
To Yu Seol, who was in a good mood, they were no longer in sight.
“all right. “It’s okay now, so hurry up and get up.”
“Are you sure?”
The disciples received a glance from Jang Mun-in and quickly disappeared somewhere.
Things seemed to be going smoothly.
How could the evil one so easily forgive the culprits of the incident? I was dumbfounded by how completely different it was from before.
At that time, Jang Mun-in’s gaze briefly turned to the back of the yin-yang pair.
That’s because Elder Muyoung was there with his hands folded with a proud smile.
Finally, he nodded once towards Jang Mun-in. He looked like he was asking me if I did a good job.
‘Still, it looks like Elder Muyeong served the meal well. ‘Thank goodness.’
Feeling relieved, he looked at Eum-gae’s eyes and asked.
“Was the meal okay?”
“Yes, I ate well. “Then we can go down now, right?”
Yu Seol tried to escape from Wudang Mountain before the Heavenly Sword and Taegeuk Pavilion were taken away.
However, we were in a position where we could not just let Jang Mun-in of the non-partisan faction go.
“Why are you in such a hurry? “I have prepared a gift for the great cooperatives, so please accept at least that.”
Receiving a gift from Yu Seol was very exciting.
I knew their intentions, but I couldn’t help but be intrigued.
“A gift?”
“yes. “I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Jang Mun-in’s tone of voice had become much softer than at first.
Therefore, it was difficult to flatly refuse.
And more than anything, I was so curious about the contents of the gift that I couldn’t bear it.
– What do we do? I guess they want to give me a commemorative gift.
Jin-san Yu, who received the message from his granddaughter, nodded his head slightly once.
– hmm. I don’t think it would be right to ignore Jang Moon-in’s request like this himself.
The rumor that I even received permission from my grandfather was stuck in my ears.
“What is the gift?”
Jang Moon-in stretched out one hand forward with a kind smile.
“I have prepared it separately, so I will take you here. Let’s go and have a look together.”
