< Episode 93 Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge (2) >
Mo Yong-hak, the eldest son of the Mo Yong family, sighed in frustration and spoke in a whisper to Jeong Myeong-sae of the Hangshan Sect.
“Whew. This is really embarrassing. “We still haven’t met the most likely suspect.”
“Amitabha Buddha. Moyong’s donation. There are many eyes to see and ears to hear. “Please refrain from speaking here.”
Jeong Myeong-sae put his hands together and quietly encouraged.
Where they were now was on the way to Huwon, the guest house of the Geommuwon, which was in the middle of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge.
In addition to the craftsmen of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge, there were many guests from the martial arts community.
There were almost thirty people walking around the back garden alone.
All of them wore swords on their waists and backs, and they were swordsmen and swordsmen.
Their view of the warriors of Jeongjeongmaeng, including Mo Yong-hak, was not very positive.
The reason was simple.
“They are people who respect the old Zhou. “Don’t offend me with meaningless words.”
“Hmm. I know.”
There were people who came to Yeonggeomsanjang to make swords, but there were also many who came to receive lessons about swords from the owner, Gu Cheon-mu.
Gu Cheon-mu, the master of the time, said that only when the level of swordsmanship increases will there be those who can achieve swordplay, and created a place called Nongeomdang where many swordsmen could exchange and discuss each other’s enlightenment.
Since he created this place, many swordsmen have come here to discuss sword skills, and among them are not only the masters of the eight provinces, but even Jeong Hyeon-moon, the leader of the Justice League who is in charge of the Six Heavens, has also visited.
Many renowned swordsmen came here and gained much enlightenment, so they paid respect to Gu Jangju by calling him the master of the sword or the master of the sword.
He was like the laughingstock of the inspectors of his time.
“There is no such expert other than Myeong-suk, so he is waiting here, but Bin-seung also thinks that the probability of him doing such a thing is extremely low. So, just wait a little while.”
“situation. “My thoughts were short.”
“No. In any case, you can’t just keep idling, so ask senior Jioe or senior Gokoh for guidance.”
Jieu, Gogogo.
They were the guests who stayed at Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge the longest.
In particular, in the case of Jie Oe, he was quite famous in the martial arts world as he stayed here for over twenty years.
Unlike Gok-oh, who stayed for five years to respect the old Zhou Zhou and ask him for teachings, Ji-e-ui’s reason for staying here was slightly different.
It was left to defeat Gu Zhuangzhou with his sword.
However, the fact that he stayed here for over twenty years meant that he still could not break the sword of the former Zhuang Zhou.
Some made fun of him, calling him foolish, while others praised his passion.
In any case, the reason they were looking for them was simple.
[The craftsmen of Yeonggeomsanjang as well as the sons of the former owner are likely to deny it even if they are the culprit.]
[Amitabha Buddha. So what should we do?]
[Ji-oe, how about having Gok-o seniors take a look at Do-heun?]
[Are you talking about the two seniors?]
[Yes, the two seniors are staying here, but aren’t they both people who can be compared to the Eight Stars?]
[That’s right.]
[Moreover, they must have studied the sword of Gu Zhuangzhou for a long time, so if they have that level of insight, wouldn’t they be able to examine Tao Xin better than us?]
[······Do you want to confirm that the sword spirit and true spirit of the former Zhuang Ju remain in Tao Xin?]
[you’re right.]
I was going for this reason, but I doubted whether he would actually accept it.
The only person who could accept this request was a stranger.
Of course, he would also recognize Gu Jangju as a swordsman, but since he had a special reason for remaining, there was a possibility.
They entered the building of the prosecutor’s office and found the two seniors.
But unfortunately, they weren’t there.
I thought he would have come for lunch by this time, but I didn’t expect him to still be gone.
“If so, are you both still at Nongeomdang?”
“That’s right.”
In response to the answer from the inspector’s guest hall manager, the two eventually decided to go to Nongeomdang.
In fact, most of the guests at Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge resided in Nongeomdang, not Geommuwon’s guesthouse, except when eating.
This was because it was a place where swordsmanship could be discussed and a place where the examination of the former chieftain was held.
* * *
Meanwhile, at the same time.
The southwest side of Yeonggeomsanjang Manor.
There was a pair of men and women walking around not far from the entrance to the manor.
They were Mok Gyeong-un and Yesongah, the granddaughter of Seonghwaryeongju.
Unlike Mok Kyung-un, who was walking carefree, Yesongah’s eyes were constantly moving and looking around.
‘Is this okay?’
She was extremely anxious and anxious inside.
That’s right, they were trespassing here almost without permission.
Mok Gyeong-un, who had a keen sense of energy, figured out where there were few people and climbed over the wall while holding her.
‘Ugh. ‘What if I get caught?’
It was Mok Gyeong-woon who was certain that the person who overpowered Gu Yeon-woo, who could be said to be Jeongin, and took him away was either his brother or an alumnus.
If his guess was correct, he definitely had to come here.
But I had no idea that they would choose to sneak in like this.
[Is it okay to sneak in like this?]
[Then shall we go in and say that we have come to find something called an orb?]
I couldn’t do that.
From the beginning, I heard from Gu Yeon-woo that his brothers and most of the people at Yeonggeom Lodge disliked Baehwagyo, thinking it was a pagan religion of the poor people.
Therefore, I expected them to hide their identity and go in, but this was too bold.

What are you going to do if you run into craftsmen or warriors from Yeonggeomsan Mountain?
Since you haven’t officially joined, there’s no excuse, right?
-Jump, jump, jump!
“Have you ever been here?”
“no.”
“You should have asked that first.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I thought it would be easier to move if I came alone.”
“······.”
It was Mok Gyeong-un who did not bother to say that it was not helpful.
Although she wanted to be acknowledged, she was secretly disappointed that she was constantly treated as a burden, but she did her best to not show it.
“To the right.”
The woman in Mokgyeongun took a step forward.
What’s interesting is that when Mok-gyeong-un moved toward the direction he was told to go, he didn’t encounter anyone.
However, no matter how much I tried to avoid it, I couldn’t avoid encountering someone in the end because the manor wasn’t the size of an imperial palace or a place like Cheonjihoe.
Yesongah spoke nervously as she heard footsteps approaching from the other side.
“Shouldn’t we go in the opposite direction?”
“no. “It’s a good thing I had to ask someone anyway.”
“yes? “Are you asking?”
Then, someone appeared on the other side.
He appeared to be the craftsman of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge, a man with dark skin and full of tan marks.
She’s tense and stiff, but…
-Jump, jump, jump!
The man approached where they were without showing any special signs, gave a light nod and tried to pass by.
‘huh? no way?’
Are they considering themselves as guests?
Otherwise, there was no way I would pass by like this.
Then Mok Gyeong-un called him.
“excuse me.”
‘!?’
At this, the father-in-law paused and turned his head.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him.
“Where should I go to see the youngest son of the former Lord Zhang’s children?”
“······Are you talking about Confucius Yeonwoo?”
“yes.”
“Why do you want to see Prince Yeonwoo?”
The father-in-law, who had not shown any reaction until now, frowned and asked.
At that time, Yesongah hurriedly intervened.
“I heard that he was young and handsome, unlike other Confucius, but I never got to see him.”
“Wow.”
To her words, my father-in-law responded that it was a trivial reason.
She said, ‘Still, doesn’t this help a little bit?’ She looked at Gyeong-un’s eyes and noticed her neck.
Of course, Mo Kyung-un didn’t even look up, as if he didn’t mind this at all.
Then my father-in-law shook his head and said,
“I don’t know how long the guests will stay, but it will be difficult to see the youngest Confucius for a while. So don’t expect too much.”
“yes? “Why?”
“That is a matter of this manor, so I cannot tell it to the guests.”
“ah······.”
When he flatly refused, she didn’t know what to do.
Looking at the father-in-law’s reaction, it was clear that something had happened, but there was no way they would obediently inform him of it.
“Then let’s take a look at things.”
So I tried to follow the path my father-in-law took.
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un called him.
“The story isn’t over yet.”
“Why are you doing this again?”
The father-in-law turned his head with a somewhat annoyed look on his face.
Then, Mok Kyung-un suddenly stretched out his hand towards him.
-Sigh!
The father-in-law looked puzzled and asked.
“What are you doing now…”
-Just right!
Before Mok Gyeong-un could finish his words, he lightly snapped his fingers, and the father-in-law’s expression went blank, and then his eyes opened.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said to him.
“Can you at least tell me where the youngest Confucius is?”
“Ma… the youngest… Confucius is locked in the gold prison underground in Jiyulwon…”
‘!?’
Hearing his answer, Yesongah looked at Mokgyeongun with wide eyes.
What on earth did you do to answer so obediently?
* * *
Owner Koo Woong-hwang’s plan.
There was someone out there looking for something.
He was none other than Gu Yeon-woo.
Why is he, who should be locked up in Jiyulwon’s Geumok, searching through an unoccupied room?
It was to find the orb, the treasure of Baehwagyo.
‘Where on earth is it?’
Thanks to the hidden wire, he was able to free himself from the restraints and escape from the prison.
However, when he came to Guunghwang’s room and looked for the orb, he searched everything from the study to the desk to the bed, but could not find it.
Guunghwang hates things that get in the way, so he doesn’t carry anything, let alone accessories.
So I thought it would have been natural to leave it in the room, but I was embarrassed.
‘no way?’
Contrary to expectations, there was absolutely no way to remove it if it were to be carried around.
Even if you find out that you escaped from the golden prison, you will be furious, so what should you do?
This was the car I was thinking about.
-Kkiik!
‘Huh?’
At that time, the door that had been closed was opened.
There was no sign of approaching the front door, so there was no time to hide somewhere.
The person who appeared when the door opened was,
“ha. “I told you to reflect and you were still here?”
The owner was Koo Woong-hwang.
Gu Yeon-woo’s expression hardened when he made eye contact.
Normally, I would be at Nongeomdang at this time, but it was a completely unexpected situation.
Gu Woong-hwang approached him and said to him, who was confused.
“I came to check if he was eating properly, but I couldn’t believe that the place he came out like a rat and headed to was my room. under!”
He was furious about the whereabouts of Gu Yeon-woo, who disappeared after going to Geumok.
Then, he remembered that Gu Yeon-woo seemed particularly obsessed with the bead, so he came to his room in anticipation.
But as expected, he was searching the room like this.
“It’s not something that can end with just locking them up.”
“older brother······.”
“Even though we are half brothers, we are of the same blood, so I tried not to be harsh with you, but you brought all of this on yourself.”
-Tingling!
Gu Yeon-woo’s skin felt stinging due to Gu Woong-hwang’s incredible momentum.
Excluding Gu Tianmu, the chieftain and father of the Yinggeom Lodge, the best swordsman was Gu Xionghuang.
Of course, not only his swordsmanship skills, but his internal skills were also so profound that they could be compared to the elders of the Nine Files.
“I guess I should break your legs first so you can’t think of running away.”
-Jump! Damn it!
As Guunghwang’s steps got closer, I was out of breath.
I think I can see how much strength he had to control when he desperately fought to stop it in the cave.
No, he didn’t even show 30% of his skills against himself.
‘shit······. ‘I couldn’t even find the orb.’
If she was trapped again, there would be no shame for her.
however,
-Startle!
Gu Woong-Hwang, who was walking forward with a frightening force, stopped.
There was still a distance of about nine steps between him and me.
But why did it stop?
While I was wondering, Guunghwang frowned and opened his mouth.
“······Who on earth are you?”
‘You?’
Who on earth are you talking to now?
Then, a shadow appeared near the entrance and a human figure appeared.
The moment the shadow of the seal covered the room, Gu Yeon-woo’s eyes shook like crazy.
It was only for a moment, but the entire room seemed to be engulfed in darkness.
The force that Guunghwang gave off was so strong that it took my breath away, but this was almost laughable.
In an instant, my face was stained with cold sweat.
But it seems he wasn’t the only one who felt this way.
-Snap!
When I looked ahead at the sound ringing in my ears, I saw that a drop of water had fallen on the floor where Guunghwang was.
Naturally, I looked up and saw that Goo Woong-hwang also had beads of sweat on his face.
His eyes were full of extreme tension.
‘······Unbelievable.’
It’s my first time seeing it.
Aside from your father, has your older brother ever shown this fear of anyone?
I was surprised, but then I heard a voice.
“That’s quite wise. “I recommend you just stay still.”
“······.”
Although he spoke politely, Gu Woong-hwang’s expression was greatly distorted, as if he felt strongly insulted by the intimidation and arrogance in his voice.
However, the voice said that it didn’t seem to care about him at all.
“Is that Gu Yeon-woo?”
“that’s right!”
Gu Yeon-woo’s eyes widened at the familiar voice.
Just as he was thinking about it, the face he had longed for so much was approaching him.
‘Song!’
She was Yesongah, the granddaughter of the Holy Spirit of Seonghwa.
