Episode 692. What are you impersonating? (2)
“Tsk.”
Cheongmyeong looked at the palace in front of him with a disapproving expression.
It is a palace that is neither very large nor flashy. No, to be precise, even though the roof tiles were missing here and there and the walls had holes here and there, it was not much of a problem to call it an abandoned house.
To ordinary people, it may simply seem like an abandoned house. But for beggars, it is no different from a palace.
“Anyway, I’m full these days!”
Where does a beggar sleep under a roof?
When he was active in Gangho, he was the envy of other beggars who could even hold a straw!
So grit, huh?!
“Tsk.”
Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue with an uncomfortable expression and walked away. And she thought to herself.
okay. If it were other guys, I would have said something, but Cheongmyeong has a big heart. Isn’t it different from old people, different from old people?
“Is there a beggar man?”
Instead of the broken door, he pulled back the cloth covering the entrance and stuck his head out into the palace.
“reel?”
But soon Cheongmyeong’s eyes widened.
What kind of scene is this again?
When you think of beggars, there is a picture that usually comes to mind.
Beggars lying here and there, roughly covered with mats, and empty gourds. Being a beggar was the busiest yet most useless job in the world, so it was rather natural.
however… … .
“Did you take care of that?”
“evil! There is nothing I can do about this right now! “Do it yourself!”
“No, I would if I could! “I’m in no position to do anything about this!”
“carrier pigeon! What happened to Jeon Seo-gu! Who cooked it and ate it?! “Why can’t I see Jeonseo-gu?”
“I sent that to you earlier?”
“What, man? What if I send it to you! I said this was more urgent! Do you want to run to Luoyang?”
“… … “I’m sorry.”
what? Why are you so busy?
The palace was literally teeming with beggars.
There couldn’t have been this many beggars in Hwaeum, so they probably dragged in other beggars from Shaanxi as well. The problem was that all the beggars were running around until their feet were sweating, which was not beggar-like.
Fortunately, some beggars were sitting in front of the collapsing desks. However, documents were piled high on the desk, and the hand holding the brush was moving furiously over the paper at the speed of a top-notch expert wielding a sword.
“Jongheunggeosa visited? “I didn’t see it!”
“I saw it! Just write!”
“Which direction did you say Paewoldo went?”
“I told you twice earlier! “That gentleman went to Hanam!”
“Are you sure?”
“What can I do if I’m not sure! “I can’t even check again!”
“Off.”
Surprisingly, no one paid any attention to Cheongmyeong.
As I watched him turn, he didn’t seem to have the will to turn his head in the first place.
“… … Still, give me some attention… … .”
Cheongmyeong’s face became glum.
That’s because, from ancient times until now, nowhere has anyone been treated with such disregard.
Finally, Cheongmyeong spoke loudly again.
“hey!”
“Oh, who is it!”
“that… … Beggar man! Uncle Hong Dae-gwang… … .”
“I’m busy, so ask someone else!”
“… … .”
oh my god. I can’t believe I lived and lived and was ignored by a beggar.
‘This is my first time being humiliated like this.’
Clearly, he and beggars are not compatible.
Cheongmyeong couldn’t hold back his anger and was about to scream.
“Oh, are you here?”
“Eh?”
Cheongmyeong suddenly turned his head at the welcoming voice. One of the beggars who had been running around until his feet were sweaty spotted him, put down the wad of paper he was holding, and quickly ran over to him.
“Cho San!”
Cheongmyeong briefly glanced at the beggar who came running to him calling out the name Chosam, but only a little later did he say “Ah”.
“Are you Guchil?”
“Have you forgotten people’s faces?”
“No, that’s not it… … .”
Cheongmyeong scratched his head and said.
“You have grown a lot.”
“iced coffee. Kinda like that, right? lol. “After coming here and eating well, I suddenly grew taller.”
“I know. “It looks like that.”
When I first saw him, he looked like a small, ungainly child, but now he looks like a young man. Yes, it’s all a big deal.
“I guess the uncle feeds me well.”
“The people in Hwaeum are so kind that you never go hungry. And he must have heard the rumor that I was close to you, so he even provided me with meat.”

Cheongmyeong’s eyes teared up as he looked at Guchil, who was smiling kindly.
“Yes, it’s a shame. “You keep telling me to stop acting like this here and come to Hwasan?”
“… … “Gwae, it’s okay.”
“What do you think it’s okay to meet? “It’ll be fine, beggar.”
Gu Chil laughed embarrassingly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
“I feel more comfortable this way. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to adapt well to something like a conduit in the first place.”
“Better than a beggar.”
“lol. “A beggar suits me better.”
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes as if he still couldn’t believe it. But Gu Chil’s heart was strong. He had absolutely no desire to follow Qingming to the volcano.
‘They say you’ll die if you go to a volcano.’
The place where the most information circulates in the world is open. As a result, the open disciples had a good idea of how much training each sect was doing.
Among the numerous sects spread throughout the world, Hwasan is the one with the most widespread rumors of driving people away with loud noises.
‘I won’t go even if I die!’
There is a common story among Hwaeum beggars that no matter how harsh the life of a beggar is, it is better than being a Taoist in a volcano. But would Goo Chil be crazy enough to climb a volcano?
“The caterpillar needs to eat pine needles.”
“Okay.”
Cheongmyeong looked at Guchil with a disapproving look, but then nodded.
“okay. Instead, if anything happens, be sure to tell me. “It really is.”
“of course! We are friends. I don’t know if I can still call you friends… … .”
“Boss, you’re cute.”
Cheongmyeong grinned at Guchil, who was a little hesitant.
And then.
“no! You must be busy, so why are you hanging out there? “Don’t help out quickly!”
A sharp voice flew in. Gu-chil was embarrassed and even stuttered.
“ah. Well, that’s not it… … .”
“Guchil, you bastard, you’ve been missing these days! “Do you want to get scolded like before?”
“no! that is… … .”
“Why don’t you come out here right now?”
When Cheongmyeong saw the beggar screaming with a sullen face, a twin flame lit up in his eyes.
“But what about that bastard?”
“Who are you again… … . Heeeeeeeeeee!”
Bamboo sticks fell out of the hand of the startled beggar.
“First, second third… … . Ah, no, volcano divine dragon!”
Jong-pal’s face turned completely white in an instant, as if he had seen a ghost.
no. In fact, from his perspective, it is much scarier than ghosts than Cheongmyeong.
“what? Are you scolded? “Did this guy get hit less then?”
“Oh my gosh!”
Jong-pal lay flat on the spot as if he were about to burrow into it.
“Please save me! “That wasn’t my intention!”
“I hung it upside down and was about to peel its skin and throw it away, but I took pity on it and saved it. what? Are you scolded like before? “Oh, you bastard!”
Bah!
The shoe that Cheongmyeong took off hit Jongpal on the back of his head.
“Aaaahhh!”
Jong-pal, who was holding the back of his head while screaming, rolled over several times and struggled, then quickly got up and fell flat on the floor again.
“I will correct it!”
“Stop it!”
The attention of the beggars who were busy was caught by the sudden incident. After a moment of silence, everyone opened their mouths.
“Woe, volcano god dragon!”
“Heeeeeeeek!” Why is that guy here… … !”
“padrone! “Find Wangcho quickly!”
The beggars, pale in color, stomped back. It was as if he had encountered a tiger, as he was so close to the wall.
“… … “Why are those guys like that?”
“under… … . ha ha ha… … . haha… … .”
When Cheongmyeong asked, only an awkward laugh came out of Chosam’s mouth.
‘friend.’
If you ask me that, won’t I have a hard time answering?
The beggars of Hwaeum have heard about you so often that they know your personality well, so they can’t honestly answer that they are more reluctant than tigers.
“no… … .”
“Wrong!”
“I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you right away!”
“Please save me!”
Cheongmyeong’s face trembled as voices begged for life, not food, from all over the place.
“No, who was angry? Why is everyone… … !”
“Heeeeeeeek!”
“Just jump out!”
“Ooh, there’s an opening behind us!”
Cheongmyeong grinned while looking at the beggars who were causing the game.
“Guchil.”
“Yes?”
“… … “I’m going out for a moment.”
“… … .”
“Get out, if you don’t want to get kicked out.”
“… … “Thank you.”
After Gu-chil left, the sound of a pig being slaughtered rang out in the hall for a while.
“Tsk.”
After a while, Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue as he looked at the beggars sitting quietly together. Although they are all kneeling, Cheongmyeong is relatively fine considering that he just made a fuss.
“If a Taoist master comes and everyone pretends to be a ghost, will people get angry or not?”
“Well, of course. sure. “We were wrong!”
“yes? “You’ll be angry, right?”
“Ah! Yes! “Do you mean this?”
“Yeah, I’m angry… … .”
“Ah! “It’s cancer!”
“Hey, Mr.!”
When Cheongmyeong took off his shoes, the beggars scattered and quickly gathered again.
“Tsk.”
When a beggar brought back his shoes, Cheongmyeong took them, put them on, and took a deep breath. It was to control anger.
So, what can you do by being angry at beggars? Nothing changes?
Qingming sighed and asked.
“But why are you so busy?”
Then the beggars quickly noticed Guchil.
I don’t want to talk to that person as much as possible, so I’m at least a friend… … . No, I was asking Goo-chil, who had a low chance of getting hit even if he spoke, to answer.
“A lot of people visited this time because of the opening ceremony of Cheonwoomaeng.”
“yes.”
“I have to make a list of all of them.”
“uh? Why?”
Goochil scratched the back of his head.
“that… … “Where famous people in Gangho went and how they moved, all of this becomes information.”
“That’s information?”
“then. “How many people want to buy that information for money?”
“… … “They sell everything.”
It’s not that I don’t understand it at all.
As Gu-chil said, that fact itself is information, but how the forces moved helps confirm the situation of the powerful.
In the openness of dealing with information, you will not be able to miss each of these movements.
“So, for now, I’m busy writing down information about the nobles moving around here and sending it to the headquarters.”
“… … “We did the work, but you make the money?”
“lol. Helping each other… … .”
“Then you have to pay the fee.”
“… … .”
“Well, this isn’t something I want to talk about with you. So where is the beggar man?”
“Lord Bunta is out of work for a while… … .”
It was then.
Clap la la rock!
The curtain at the entrance was lifted, and Hong Dae-gwang, with an arrogant frown, walked in striding.
“No, these beggars are all crazy! Are you not doing what you’re told to do and just playing around? I’m so excited because I want to get rid of everything… … . uh? Volcano divine dragon? “When did you come?”
The shouting that had been rising like an active volcano suddenly quieted down. He even became kind.
‘Uh, Mr… … . ‘You seem like a treacherous person.’
‘Try half that for us too! ‘Half!’
The beggars know very well what a persistent and terrible person Hong Dae-gwang is. But when I suddenly saw him smiling like a fool and dealing with people, I couldn’t help but change my mind.
“I came to ask you something… … . No, that aside. mister!”
“huh?”
“I asked you to take good care of that bastard, but he’s putting pressure on his neck! “How do you take care of the kids?”
“That bastard? who… … .”
When Hong Dae-gwang saw the place pointed to by Cheongmyeong, a flame bloomed in his eyes.
“No, but this bastard! I’m not dispirited even after being kicked like that! “Do you have a hobby of getting beaten up, you bastard?”
The gourd that Hong Dae-gwang was holding hit Jong-pal directly on the head and shattered. A loud noise rang out.
Slurp.
Hong Dae-gwang, who stepped on the fallen bell arm several times, shouted.
“Keep this bastard locked up and don’t feed him for three days!”
“Hey, they don’t have enough workers?”
“Then wake me up, make me work, and don’t feed me for three days!”
“… … yes.”
“Tsk.”
Hong Dae-kwang quickly relaxed his face and looked back at Cheongmyeong.
“ah. I’m sorry, volcano god dragon. I took good care of it, but it looks like it lost its taste while I was away. “I will continue to take good care of it in the future.”
“Take care of yourself, take care of yourself.” Otherwise, I will come and reside here permanently.”
“… … Would you rather have me beat to death now?”
“Then it becomes easier. No.”
“… … .”
Hong Dae-kwang, who realized once again that the devil does not necessarily exist in hell, quickly cleared his throat and opened his mouth. He must quickly answer anything and send this devil out of this palace.
“So what happened?”
“Let’s go in and talk. “But my throat is a little rough.”
“What are you doing, you bastards! Go drink! Alcohol and duck meat! “Buy dongpo pork and fish soup there!”
“Something like Gungbo Account.”
“Yes, even Gungbo account! hurry!”
Cheongmyeong chuckled and headed inside.
“uh?”
But at the same time, when his sleeve was pulled up, Gu Chil raised his head and saw Cheong Myeong. While I was in a daze, Cheongmyeong nodded.
“What are you doing? come in. “You should eat too.”
“Oh, no. I’m fine. “Everyone else is working.”
“Oh yeah?”
Cheongmyeong looked around at the beggars and said.
“Then why don’t we eat here? “It’s been a while since I saw your face again.”
“no! “If one person is missing, nothing bad will happen!”
“Guchil, please! Please go and eat in peace! “Please!”
“… … .”
Qingming grinned.
“Did you hear?”
“… … .”
“let’s go.”
“Yes… … .”
They say that if you have good friends, everything will be easier… … .
‘Is this really how I have good friends?’
Gu Chil thought there was something subtly different and followed Cheong Myeong’s aesthetic.
