Chapter 349
Episode 349: The shadow that seeped into the communal sect (1)
Now that the goal had been achieved, there was no reason to stay in the ghost gate any longer.
After the Four Masters quietly left first, the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters were also saying goodbye.
The Safa people gathered in the front yard of the manor could not hide their disappointment.
“Are you really leaving already?”
“Ha… you are so evil….”
“There are so many epic stories I want to hear, but you are already gone…”
Some even cried, with tears in their eyes.
They seemed to have become close after enjoying a banquet together for several days.
But what can you do?
Yu Seol had a place to go with his grandfather.
“I’ll tell you more next time. Are you coming to Muyang County to see me?”
Muyang County was the place where the showdown with the Murim lord would take place a few months later.
All the Safaans nodded and shouted in unison.
“No matter what happens, you have to go!”
“I will definitely go!”
“Hehe. “I’m just looking forward to that day!”
Yu Seol waved his hand at them and approached the head of the Gwisal Gate.
“Uncle Moonju. “You spent a lot of money because of us, right?”
It must have been a lot of money to prepare for a grand banquet every day.
How could it not be a burden for a medium-sized literary group like Gwisalmun? All the influential elders of Sapa in Henan Province flocked to the place and drank and played for days.
Nevertheless, Munju Yong Dae-seong waved his hands and vehemently denied it.
“Oh no! Rather, I was worried about the lack of hospitality. “What kind of sad words…”
Yoo Seol grinned and took out a wad of paper from her pocket.
Eventually, he looked at them one by one, took out one, and handed it to Yong Dae-seong.
“Thanks to you, I had a good time.”
Yong Dae-seong’s eyes widened as he unconsciously accepted it.
This is because it was a 100-nyang silver voucher with the imperial seal stamped on it.
The amount was at least five times more than previous expenses.
“A hundred pieces of silver? How do we receive such a large amount of money?…”
“It’s okay, so let’s keep it.”
The Safa people watching nearby burst into applause.
“As expected, you are a great person!”
“ha ha ha! “Yong Munju must have made a fortune.”
“This is a voucher given to you by the Great Society of Yin Kai, so please keep it as a treasure of the Demon Slayer Gate!”
Yong Dae-seong, who was clutching the slip with both hands, finally wiped away his tears.
“Okay… It was an honor to be able to serve you.”
Even though I spent a lot of money, I didn’t regret it one bit.
Because there was a corresponding income anyway.
Yoo Seol grinned and pointed with his index finger at the items stacked on one side of the manor.
These were all gifts I received while staying at Gwisalmun.
“Please deliver my gifts to Myohwabang in Shaanxi through Pyo-guk. “Okay?”
This is because there were so many gifts that they had to be transported by carriage.
Since there was no separate residence, the only places where items could be left were Paedomun or Myohwabang.
And Yoo Seol chose the latter.
“Please just leave it to me. “Our Guisalmun will personally escort you.”
Yu Seol nodded with a satisfied smile and said his final farewell.
I couldn’t stay long because my grandfather was waiting at the door.
“It was fun so far. Let’s meet again in Muyang County!”
As if they had made a promise, the Safa people put their hands together and swept in at the same time.
“Go take a look!”
“See you in Muyang County!”
* * *
The yin-yang pair left Gwisalmun and headed toward Gansukseong.
The purpose was to find King Sae-ye of Soroeumsa, who was said to be hiding in the Gongpa faction.
Not long after we set off, it was time to take a break.
Jinsan Yu asked as if he didn’t understand.
“It’s really big. “How did you think of giving me a hundred nyang for silver?”
By the standards of ordinary people, it was a large amount of money that they could not even see even if they earned it in their entire lives.
You willingly hand over such a large amount of money?
Thanks to this, the prestige of the yin-yang pair was established in front of the martial arts people, but I couldn’t help but wonder.
“There was no change. “It’s embarrassing to ask for it.”
I mean, change. I couldn’t even imagine how much money there was.
“By the way, what was that bundle of slips? “How much money did you save without knowing the expenses?”
Yu Seol narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
“…saw?”
“OK. “It wasn’t just one or two.”
At that moment, a meaningful smile appeared on Yu Seol’s face.
“This is all the money I saved up to get my grandpa married.”
What kind of absurd thing is this?
Yu Jin-san, embarrassed, stammered and asked back.
“…Getting married!? “What did you say just now?”
“There’s a pretty old lady in the drawing room. “I said you just have to go physically, but my grandpa also has respect.”
“No, this guy? “What were you two talking about without me knowing?”
Yooseol held her belly and laughed at her grandfather’s reaction.
“Fuhihi. Make me a younger brother~ Huh?”
Jinsan Yu sighed and shook his head.
“You’re making fun of a very generous expense. And when the baby is born, he’s your uncle, how can he be your brother?”
“Then you’ll make me an uncle? You mean you don’t hate it? “Go ahead and tell me~”
I can’t believe I was so persistent in my thoughts.
Yu Jin-san, whose face was red, waved one hand and spoke.
“done. Let’s stop and let’s go.”
I didn’t know how much money was raised, but it turned out to be a good thing.
In order to establish a new alliance in the future, the manor that will serve as the headquarters will have to be purchased first.
It seemed like if I could persuade her, I could put the money my granddaughter had saved to good use.
“Grandpa, but where is the communal group?”
So far, there has been no encounter with the communal faction.
Therefore, although they were unfamiliar to Yu Seol, Yu Jin San, a member of the Murim League, knew them very well.
“hmm. It’s on Gonggong Mountain on the way from Chang’an to Dunhuang. “If you get to know them, they are a bit unusual.”
“why?”
Jinsan Yu explained as he searched through his memories.
“As far as I know, the communal faction has always maintained an ambiguous position in the middle of political affairs. “I didn’t participate in the disputes between the strong and the poor, and only intervened in fights that were advantageous.”
“It looks like it’s coming out from behind after watching the tide.”
“Yes, that expression is accurate. Anyway, when the political faction overwhelmed the Sa faction, it belatedly joined the Murim Alliance. “If the profits were greater, they would join Sapa.”
So far, the communal faction has made many gains without being swayed by the strong winds.
Because of that, his reputation in Gangho was not very good.
“what the. “It’s so cowardly.”
“To begin with, Taoists are like that. “They say they are cleaning the path with their mouths, but most people are cleaning their poop.”
Yuseol burst out laughing at his grandfather’s long-awaited joke.
“Puhihihi~ It’s funny.”
“We have a long way to go. Should we try to speed up now?”
“Yes!”
Jo-son, who was walking as if taking a walk, suddenly became faster.
Ta-tat-!
Soon, the two new models flew into the air at the same time.
* * *
Gonggongsan Mountain is located in the most remote place in Murim.
I was able to reach my destination by running for half a day without stopping.
The Yin-Yang pair that had just arrived first settled down on a suitable tree and hid themselves.
Soon after, Yu Jin-san took out a piece of silk from his pocket and held out a piece to the side.
“Cover your face with this, just in case.”
Instead of accepting the silk, Yu Seol peeked out his face.
“Grandpa, tie it up nicely~”
“I have to do this on my own. “What are you going to do later if you don’t have any money to spare?”
Jinsan Yu put a mask on his granddaughter’s face and then covered his own face.
After completing the preparations, Yoo Seol pointed to the gate in front with his index finger and whispered.
“I think that’s the entrance.”
“It looks like that. “It doesn’t feel familiar, does it?”
Haven’t you already visited a prestigious Taoist sect several times?
The Jongnam faction and the Shaman faction were representative.
The atmosphere of the communal faction was not much different from those there.
The warning signs prohibiting entry were also surprisingly consistent.
“They say you can’t just go in from here. “The Malcos are guarding it over there.”
I felt like I had seen a lot of Taoist monks hiding near the gate somewhere.
Swordsmen wearing dark red Taoist uniforms with swords hanging on their backs.
It was a sight I had already seen several times at the entrances of other sects.
“hmm. “It’s best to ignore those idiots.”
It wasn’t easy to take it down, but it wasn’t good to know that there was an intruder.
There was a risk that King Sagye, who was hiding his identity, could hide even deeper.
After exchanging glances, Joson simultaneously kicked off the tree branch and flew up.
Taaa-!
It seemed as if a pair of hawks were flying in the sky at the same time.
After leisurely jumping over the heads of the Taoist monks, the two continued their journey deep into the mountain.
No one could detect their movements. Because not even a small noise was made.
After a while, when we reached the top of the peak, a wide basin appeared.
A huge training hall and sparsely built tall pavilions. And the numerous Taoists seen everywhere.
It was a familiar sight.
– Do you want to go up there and hide?
Yu Jin-san also nodded as if he agreed with his granddaughter’s message.
It was a six-story pavilion and the tallest building in Gongpa.
– OK. You found the right one.
It was a place with a clear view, so it was perfect for monitoring various places.
On the top of the tall pavilion, the yin-yang pair landed as lightly as a butterfly.
-Who on earth is the spy? You must be one of those many gurus, right?
– hmm. Anyone who can steal high-quality information must be at least an elder level. Watch for anyone suspicious, especially the elderly.
Two of the Blood Thunder Four Heavenly Kings captured earlier were both Hyeongyeong level.
In that case, King Sagye, who is hiding his identity, must also be an expert at a similar level.
He was a person who could not be taken lightly.
Cao Sun’s eyes lit up and he looked at each of the passing Taoist monks.
Si-jin wanted to spy on him to see if there was anything suspicious, such as his movements and conversations.
I couldn’t get any income.
– There can be no answer like this.
Just like my grandfather, Yu Seol was just as frustrated.
– I can’t do it. First, let’s take someone over and ask if there’s anyone suspicious.
To put it nicely, it would mean taking him in and questioning him, but kidnapping him and interrogating him. In the home of a prestigious political sect, that is an elder of the elder level.
It was risky, but still worth a try.
– Can you do it?
– Yes, grandpa, wait on the mountain peak over there. I’ll catch you soon.
– i get it. Don’t overdo it and if it doesn’t work out, just come back.
Jinsan Yu didn’t say anything and ran to the other side.
This is because, unlike the granddaughter who reached Hyeon-gyeong’s extreme level, her presence was detected by King Sa-gye.
Soon, Yuseol’s two feet rose high into the sky from the ground.
It was a flight, not a light attack.
As I moved away from the ground, a hum came out of my mouth.
“We’re together~ I’m going with my sister Seol~ Lulu~ la la la~”
Yu Seol’s new form hovered in the air like an eagle gliding through the sky in search of prey.
Taoists of the communal sect could be easily found anywhere.
But the goal is elder level. Moreover, he had to be a solitary character.
The person chosen by the evil spirit was an old monk who had just come out of the back room.
“Daang~ first time!”
As long as the goal was set, there was no need to hesitate.
Paang-!!
In a split second, a ray of lightning struck from above the Taoist monk’s head.
Tsk-!
“…Knock!”
The elder of the communal sect, who was struck in the back of the neck by a kick, collapsed helplessly without knowing what was going on.
