Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 31. Please help me a little

The first person who felt strange was Han Chae-yeon.

Han Chae-yeon brought up the story to her closest friend, Ha So-baek.

“I think it’s because I listened to my sister. Certainly, the younger brother seems to have changed a bit lately.”

“yes? Because it is. Don’t you remember the day I fought with that green lion a few days ago? Suddenly, he wriggled his fingers like this and said, ‘Hello?’”

Han Chae-yeon folded and opened her fingers in front of Ha So-baek.

“Um, really. Did you think of playing a joke instead of fighting in the middle of the day?”

“That too suddenly.”

Ha So-baek, who nodded, said in a tone that it didn’t matter.

“Isn’t unnie still better than a bored person?”

“Ugh, I’m a little scared of such pranks. It’s not something to puncture your palm.”

“So, are you afraid of your younger brother?”

“Who is afraid of you? That kind of joke is unfamiliar. Someone who didn’t.”

“ha! I hope Jeokha’s older brother will play a prank on me too.”

Just then, a voice from behind came from behind.

“What joke?”

“Wow!”

“oh! It’s a surprise!”

The two women who were sitting on the bed jumped up.

Yeon Jeok-ha sat down next to Ha So-baek and asked again.

“You said you wanted me to prank you? What jokes do you like?”

“No, I just did it because I was bored these days.”

Hasobak sat down with his face reddened.

“Are you bored because there is nothing to fight about even if you go hiking?”

“It’s not like that.”

Hasobak waved his hand violently.

To be honest, Sobaek Has was the happiest these days without sword fighting.

After fighting the warriors in the upper direction, my heart felt heavy for some reason and I couldn’t sleep well.

“If you’re bored, practice martial arts more. After I tried it, it seemed that there would be no end. That it is invincible.”

Han Chae-yeon glanced at Yeonjeok-ha and said.

“Wow! There is no end to masters like Brother, right? Then it’s really serious.”

“What is serious?”

“Your brother is saying that there is no hope for sewage people like us.”

“I only know this lady, but I don’t know the other two. There’s a story I heard from the Taoist grandfather. Do you know what it is?”

“What is it?”

The twinkling eyes of the two women turned to Yeonjeokha.

Then, Yeonjeokha said with a slightly condescending face.

“That’s the end of the world.”

“yes?”

“What do you mean?”

“When you reach the end of martial arts, everything is the same. Are there many ways to get to the first peak of Obongsan Mountain? But the top is one. yes?”

“yes.”

The two women answered with one voice.

“Whether that old master master gets to the top with no party martial arts or I work hard to get to the top, the two of you get to the top with a white porcelain ball and one-second swordsmanship, but the result is the same.”

Han Chae-yeon pursed her lips and muttered.

“I don’t think so.”

“me too.”

Hasobak also shook his head excitedly.

Yeonjeokha hurriedly made an excuse.

“No, it wasn’t me, it was the guru grandfather. Both of them know that the guru grandfather is well-informed. So don’t be too disappointed.”

The two women pondered what Yeonjeokha said.

Actually, he’s been a little more playful lately, but he’s not one to talk nonsense.

Then, as if she had suddenly remembered, Han Chae-yeon opened her mouth.

“You know what, brother? Did your brother become very bright after meeting the merchant of heaven and earth?”

“I?”

Yeonjeokha tilted her head.

He hasn’t changed much, but it’s just curious that he’s gotten brighter.

Hasobak threw out a word.

“You play a lot, too.”

“when?”

Han Chae-yeon stuck out two fingers in front of Yeonjeok-ha’s eyes and said with a nod.

“hello? nice to meet you My name is Han Chae-yeon.”

“Ahaha.”

A forced laugh escaped from the younger brother’s mouth.

Han Chae-yeon persistently bit and stretched.

“Do you admit it?”

“OK got it. I was a bit harsh. okay?”

“Oh, I’m not talking about anything. They say it’s nice to see my older brother getting brighter.”

“me too. What did you do with the merchants of heaven and earth? It seems like you come here every day wet with sweat.”

“I learned a lot.”

Then Ha So-baek widened his eyes as if surprised.

“to? Nonsense. That guru is weaker than your brother, but you learned it?”

“Tsk tsk! What do you all not know See that tree over there?”

“yes.”

“Straight and hard is the strength of that tree. Unlike the grass that grows beneath it. But imagine a typhoon blowing. Strengths can also be weaknesses. Conversely, weaknesses become strengths. Strength and weakness are like yin and yang, leading and falling behind and complementing each other. In fact, it lasts a long time.”

These are all words spoken by the Merchant of Heaven and Earth.

“So, although my brother is a tree and the Merchant of Heaven and Earth is grass, it is meaningless to discuss the strength between the two. Do you mean something like that?”

Ha So-baek still has a puzzled face.

Unlike Yeon Jeok-ha, who studied elementary school, she also read the Thousand Characters, but it was a little difficult for her.

“Similar. Not all strong are strong and not all weak are weak.”

“Yeah, I think I know a little bit.”

“me too.”

Han Chae-young and Ha So-baek shook their heads.

At that time, the 8th Cheol-san Lee came across the yard with quick steps.

“Yeon hyung-nim, eldest hyung-nim, please come to Sanghwagak.”

“What is it?”

“I have something to discuss at the greening competition. Let’s go together, both of you. My older brother called all 5 Bon 10 Geols.”

The three moved to Sanghwagak along Lee Cheolsan.

***

Sanghwagak.

Obong and ten girls gathered in one place.

Chaeju Poongyeoncho, who looked around her younger brothers with happy eyes, spoke.

“As you may know, I was asked to gather because of the participation in the greening contest. Noh Shim said that if you don’t want to be late, you have to leave at least within three or three days.”

I asked as if I was curious about the name of the debt holder Takgo.

“By the way, big brother, it’s nice to go, but shouldn’t one of us stay and protect the living? You will have to take your family out for a walk.”

“Even if it wasn’t, I called to fix it. Who do you think you would like to be left with?”

“Brother, if there is someone who wants to stay, ask that person to stay.”

Poongyeoncho, who nodded, asked his younger brothers.

“Did you all hear? It would be nice if all five peaks and ten girls would go, but I think it would be better to leave at least one person who will protect the sanchae. Do any of you want to remain alive?”

Everyone asked if they wanted to go.

Even younger siblings, who don’t like fidgeting, didn’t apply.

“It looks like no one wants to stay…”

Poongyeoncho scratched her head, perhaps feeling stuffy.

All of them are sworn brothers, so if you say you don’t like them, it’s hard to force them, and your head hurts even more.

At that time, the third Ma Hyeong-do opened his mouth.

“Big brother, isn’t it always necessary for someone among us to stay? Can’t we just entrust the experienced Sim Lao-je with directions and tell the imperial family to keep it safe?”

“Let’s entrust wild vegetables to Hwang Yo-myeong?”

“Yeah, he won’t be able to do anything else with his talent anyway.”

Hagi-ya Noma-do Shenyang-gak, if you don’t know, it’s not even close to Hwang Yo-myeong. Because the other bandits who know the enemy’s inaction will save themselves on their own.

Poongyeoncho’s complexion brightened.

Thinking so, there was nothing to worry about.

“Tak ah, I think I can do that. What do you think?”

“Yes, it seems fine.”

Only then did the other Five Bon 10 girls, who were watching, help out one by one.

“Do you?”

“It seems a bit bad to leave one person behind.”

“If I’m left alone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep.”

“That’s right.”

Poongyeoncho, who had been listening to his brothers, nodded.

“Then, let’s go to the Green Forest Contest with all of us 5 Bon 10 Girls. So, Yeon-ah?”

“yes?”

“No no.”

Poong Yeon-cho tried to ask Yeon Jeok-ha to ‘refrain from fighting as much as possible in the greening competition’, but ended up doing it. It wasn’t something that could be promised, and it was because I didn’t want to make Yeon Jeok-ha feel uncomfortable with useless words.

Luoyang Dongfeng Lien Temple.

Waryongjang.

When Waryongjang opened the door, the swordsmen who admired the swordsmanship of Yeonmoo-ryong, a real swordsman, flocked to it. This is because Baek Mi-joo leaked rumors that she would ‘teach outside students the swordsmanship of a true moon swordsman’.

It is impossible to become a disciple of Chilpaimun and the Five Greats unless you have a decent network. Compared to that, becoming a disciple of Waryongjang is a piece of cake. It was natural for the ronin to flock to it.

Yeon Mi-ju appointed Yeon Mu-baek, the eldest son, as the ambassador and taught the Nangin the Gucheon-sebeop. Of course, I didn’t reveal all the old ways to them.

First, the ronins were divided into three groups according to their talents and loyalty.

Naegongsimbeop taught Waryongsimbeop, which was created by the ancestors of the Yeon family. It was superior to the three-year-old method on the market, so the ronin liked it.

By summer, the number of disciples belonging to Waryongjang 3 dan had increased to about 50 people.

As the number of disciples increased, Waryongjang had to consider expanding the business. It was because he needed money to feed, clothe, and sleep fifty people.

Waryongjang Anchae.

The hostess Baek Mi-joo and the general manager Yeon Moo-dok sat face-to-face and talked about business expansion. If Baek Mi-joo wanted to join hands with Sang-bang, Yeon Moo-dok insisted on managing the bar and the inn.

“Brother, if we were to touch the bar and the inn, would you just watch at Uicheonmun? Competing with them is impossible right now. You know?”

Uicheonmun started as a military officer and is now a powerful school called Chilpaimun. There was no place without their disciples, from military and government offices to barber shops and inn gambling parlors.

“If Luoyang is difficult, shouldn’t we start with speech?”

“Could you take care of just two or three and feed over a hundred family members?”

“There are 50 disciples of the third stage…”

“Yes, that’s still the case. I plan to increase it to 100 before winter arrives.”

“That’s too much. I don’t know why you’re in such a hurry.”

Baek Mi-joo looked at the haze poison with irritated eyes.

The eldest son, Yeon Mu-baek, is doing well in raising the power of Waryongjang. So far, I’ve been given ronin out of necessity, but I’m planning to gather boys soon.

The problem is the money that goes into food, clothing, and shelter for students.

Until Waryongjang can secure a stable financial source, the Yeon clan’s financial support is needed. So I called haze poison, but he kept talking nonsense, making my stomach upset.

“Brother, do you want anything from me?”

When Baek Mi-joo asked openly, Haze Poison avoided her gaze.

It was belatedly that she realized that he was making a deal.

When I thought about it, it seems that the cause was that I kept away from him after my eldest son Yeon Mu-baek returned.

With a light sigh, Baek Mi-joo moved to the side of the smoke poison.

“ha! Oh brother, you know my heart. I know that you feel sorry for me for neglecting you in the past. I will do better in the future. Can’t you help me?”

“What did I do?”

Baek Mi-joo’s soft hand was placed on Hyeon-moo-dok’s lap.

“Baekse Sangbang in Luoyang is now in a relationship where the string has fallen off. Advancing upwards is something even Chilpaimun condones. If you build trust starting with Baekse Sangbang, you can grow quickly. Please help me a little until Waryongjang is settled. yes?”

“What kind of power do I have… Ahhh.”

No matter where Baekmi-joo touched, a gasping sound flowed from the haze poison’s mouth.
