Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 171. Don’t you think my tricks are worth using?

Second day.

The Twelve Horsemen waited for the enemy with more tension than on the first day.

After harassing her all day, it was clear that she would definitely come this time.

But for some reason, I couldn’t see the pairing nose-bleeding until the sun went down.

Chu Hon-hyeol, the owner of a dark mountain demon who couldn’t stand it, also asked Lee Moo-jin as if he was arguing.

“Has Yeonjeokha been coming? Didn’t he go somewhere else?”

“An old man named Shimtong and a carriage still remain in Seoha Village. It is said that Yeonjeokha is around here. He must be watching us from somewhere.”

To those words, Poison Demon and Yang So-ran agreed.

“that’s right. If I had a heartache and a carriage, I wouldn’t have left even the younger enemy. It must be hiding somewhere waiting for us to tire out. Originally, in a fight like this, the exposed person is at a disadvantage.”

“Are you saying I have to wait like this?”

“Is there any other way? If they fall asleep, they will cut their throats, and if they scatter, they will be defeated individually.”

At the sharp point of Yang So-ran, Eum San-gwi was speechless.

Meanwhile, the sun had completely gone down and it was a dark night.

In the debtor’s death, Yeonpagang ran around with his subordinates, lighting up everywhere.

A sigh flowed from Lee Moo-jin’s mouth as he looked at the firewood piled up like a mountain.

It’s already painful to do the same thing as yesterday all night long.

He was exhausted physically and mentally, but he knew it.

You don’t know when an enemy enemy might attack you.

“Come on, let’s not scatter and be as vigilant as possible. If you’re not careful, it’ll end without a chance to regret it.”

At Lee Moo-jin’s words, the Twelve Horsemen regained their composure.

***

A person as frustrated as the Twelve Horsemen is a relative.

I searched for sulfuric acid all day today, but I couldn’t find a single phosphorus.

This happened because Daebyeolsanchae recently plundered the villages around Hwangsan too much.

After the sun went down, Yeonjeokha wandered around looking for a place to stay.

Just then, a plump wild boar came out of the forest.

It ran like a pairing wind and caught it at once.

Because he had eaten only the fruit of the tree, his eyes went blank when he saw the wild pig.

However, when I caught it and thought about it, the way to cook was at a loss.

He started a fire with a flint that Namgungcheon had stuck in his chest saying he always had it with him.

Then they gathered dead trees from the surroundings and made a big fire.

Up to this point, I followed the same way Simtong and Seolchasu and the others did.

The problem is then

It was too much of a burden to be a huge wild pig who had been living off of cooking.

“I don’t know.”

Eventually he tossed the wild boar over the fire and brushed his hands off it.

I hadn’t even thought about removing the intestines.

Had half an hour passed like that?

As the flesh and oil burned, the savory smell vibrated.

I threw away the charred parts of the serial enemy and ate only the flesh inside.

There was a lot more to throw away than to go into the mouth, but I didn’t care. That’s why you have to go somewhere else when the day is bright anyway.

There was no salt, so it was bland, but it was still meat, so the inside was full.

After a while he cut a branch with soft leaves and spread it on the floor.

And I lay down and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, I thought of Namgung-yeon, who is reading Hwa-yong.

where did she go?

What to do in Jeongju?

Maybe it was because we broke up after living together for more than half a year, but unlike before, I felt very empty.

sweet spot.

Around drinking time (7pm-9pm).

Three boys and two girls are sitting by the window and chatting.

Namgungcheon Namgungyeon brother and sister and Seol Chasu party are drinking tea after dinner. Since they had the same destination, the five of them were moving together.

Yoo Geun-sik, who was looking out the window, said involuntarily.

“By now, Yeon So-hyeop and Shim Seon-bae are going to Obongsan, right?”

“of course. Yeon So-hyeop is the kind of person to talk nonsense.”

Jin Seol-ha tilted her head slightly at Cha-soo Seol’s words.

“By the way, the death penalty. The Daebyeol Mountains are mountainous and deep. Yeon So-hyeop seems to have poor eyesight on the road.

“Your eyesight is dark?”

“Yes, when I stopped by Janghojin a few months ago. We were returning from having water swallows together by the riverside, but they didn’t know the way.”

“No, you don’t know the way in that palm-sized town? Does that make sense?”

“I really didn’t know. Is that why I took the lead?”

“no way! no way. A village has no more than 50 households. No matter how dark your eyes are, that’s not it. He must have done it to make fun of you.”

Seol Cha-soo dismissed Jin Seol-ha’s words.

not stupid Who gets lost in a small town with no inn!

“is it?”

When Seol Cha-soo came out strongly, Jin Seol-ha agreed.

It’s because I can’t believe that a master like Yeon Jeok-ha doesn’t know how easy it is.

That night.

Namgungyeon quietly got up from the bed.

At this time, I always met Yeon Jeok-ha separately, so I couldn’t sleep easily.

Just in time, Jin Seol-ha, who was tossing and turning, spoke.

“Can’t you sleep?”

“It’s a bit like that.”

“Me too. Shall we have a cup of tea?”

“great.”

Namgung-yeon and Jin-seol-ha went down to the restaurant after a long-awaited match.

The moonlight was bright, so it was bright even without lighting.

The two of them, who had decided to drink tea, came out of the kitchen with bottles of alcohol.

And calmly filled each other’s glasses.

Seolha Jin spoke first.

“Are you worried about the Yeonsohyup?”

“little bit.”

“You will do well. You know.”

“I believe so.”

“Sozer.”

Suddenly, Chin Seol-ha saw Namgung-yeon.

“yes?”

“Do you like Yeon Sohyup?”

“…”

Namgoongyeon did not answer.

Of course I like it.

But for some reason, I couldn’t easily give that simple answer.

Jin Seol-ha, who had been staring into Namgung-yeon’s eyes, spoke in a calm tone.

“Who said that? Cough and love cannot be hidden.”

“is that so.”

“I could feel that Sojeo was happy when Yeon Sohyeop said he rejected Eunwol. I knew then. You weren’t just friendly!”

For a moment, Namgoongyeon’s expression hardened lightly.

He was shocked that he seemed happy.

The famous school collapsed and the mother died.

Happiness at leisure in a gloomy situation where even the father is uncertain of life and death?

Seeing Namgoong-yeon’s sudden change, Jin-seol-ha realized that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized.

“I’m sorry if I sounded offended. I think I was the only one who felt that way.”

“no. If it looked like that, then I was doing it wrong.”

There was sincerity in Namgoongyeon’s words.

It is natural that he thought that it was not the time for him to pursue happiness yet.

Seeing this, Jinseolha lowered her head.

Also, she is not a criminal.

He could not raise his face at his frivolity, which interpreted everything as a matter between a man and a woman.

third day.

As the sun rose in the morning, sixty-two letters erupted from the mouths of the Twelve Horsemen.

“You’re not even a dog like this!”

“Fuck bastard! Where are you! Stop messing around!”

“I know you’re hiding and watching! If you are a person, come out!”

“Come out! You bastard!”

Since they were the Twelve Horsemen who used to roam in Sapa, they have long since lost face.

Even if you are a Moorim master, keeping your eyes open for two days is not an easy task. Even sitting still, I felt dizzy.

As the headache came, Lee Moo-jin pressed his temples with both hands.

Now the blood is dry, but I can’t back down.

As the saying goes, the twelve horse soldiers are already riding on the tiger’s back. If we stop here, the Twelve Horsemen will surely be eaten by him.

I get goosebumps when I think of ‘Yeonjeokha crouching outside the door like a starving tiger’.

The other twelve horsemen seemed to have the same idea, their eyes shining with murder and madness.

Yang So-ran muttered with a haggard face.

“He really is like a devil. Even though I know I shouldn’t run out of energy, I can’t stand…”

No matter how tired the twelve horsemen were, they couldn’t close their eyes.

Sleeping was a luxury in a situation where you never know when the enemy enemy might infiltrate and cut your throat.

***

It was around noon (12:00 noon) on the third day when Yeon Jeok-ha, who was wandering around, found the village.

But somehow the entrance to the village caught my eye.

Yeon Jeok-ha’s eyes widened as he walked down the street.

“Why would that be?”

There was a signboard for Muhagaekjan in front.

It seems that he came back to Seohachon after getting lost and wandering.

Just in case, I entered the inn and was greeted warmly by the familiar owner.

“Come on. You said you’d be back soon, so you must have had a lot of work?”

“A little bit?”

Hesitantly, he ordered a dish he hadn’t eaten before and sat down.

Even Gu Cheon-no, who had come out to eat at the right time, rushed in with a heartache.

“Ouch! Confucius, why are you so late?”

He diligently looked up and down under the rope to see if there were any injuries.

“Oh, I just happened to…”

“By the way, what is that charcoal soot on your face?”

I tried to wipe it off by rubbing it back and forth with my hands.

However, perhaps because my hands were dirty, the black charcoal soot only smeared more.

Seeing that, the heartache internally ‘giggled’ and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, what happened to this guy named Lee Moo-jin?”

“I haven’t met you yet.”

“yes? Then what about the other twelve horsemen?”

“I didn’t even see them. I couldn’t see where the sulfuric acid had gone.”

“Where do you say sulfuric acid goes? Have you ever lost your way?”

“Oh it’s okay. Because I caught and ate wild pigs and had a good time.”

“her! It is said that if you go up half an hour to the northeast from Seohachon, you will find Huangshan. Didn’t you find it?”

“When I went there, there were many mountains. Even old man Shim won’t be able to find it just by listening to it?”

“No, why don’t you come back right away and set up a guide?”

“I mean, it’s a mountain. It’s completely different when you go up and when you go down. Still, seeing that I came back to Seohachon instead of going to a very strange place, don’t you think my skills are worth using?”

“her! Is it a trick? A normal person would be back in an hour. I thought it was a big deal, but I’m glad I did. What do you plan to do with Daebyeol Sanchae? Why don’t you just give up and go to Mt. Obong at this point?”

“Then no. I’m going to hire a villager and visit him again.”

“I don’t think you have to do that, do you? Even the head of the household will not say anything.”

“If you made a promise, you have to keep it. How difficult is that to avoid?”

“If you’ve worked hard for three days, it’s true that it’s difficult.”

“Uh huh. why is that a high school student? He came from raising Hoyeonjigi in nature.”

While the two were bickering, Jeom So-yi served food.

After three days of cooking, he ate it like a possessed man.

My heartache kept me from saying ‘don’t go’ throughout the meal.

It was because there was no reason to rush to Daebyeol Sanchae, where the twelve horsemen would be waiting.

However, he did not break his stubbornness.

At this rate, it was obvious that Heartache would make fun of ‘I couldn’t go because I lost my way’.

It was better to just go and come back than to hear that kind of thing over and over again.
