Episode 139. Tiger Note (2)

Cheolno didn’t even close the door and glared at Hanbin with a slightly angry expression.

“Oh, Your Majesty! If you were here, you should have looked for me first.”

“I’m sorry, Cheolno. I was also summoned by the Lord and only came back now.”

“But, you still don’t call me father.”

When Cheolno tilted his head, Hanbin shrugged and answered.

“Well, you have to distinguish between public and private life.”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

It was clear that there would come a time when the interests of the family and his own interests would conflict.

What choice should I make then?

Hanbin chuckled without realizing it.

It was because I was dumbfounded at myself for still thinking about such a distant story.

Cheol-no said after seeing Han-bin’s smile.

“Oh, Your Majesty, you are too much. And what good would it do if you said you were worried? I feel bad when you laugh like that.”

“Hey, of course I was worried. Thinking about Cheolno, who must have had a hard time managing Cheonsujang and here all by himself, how could I sleep? Where did he go? I was worried because he wasn’t there no matter how much I looked for him in his room.”

“I appreciate your concern, but I feel like I’m being prostrated… … .”

Cheolno trailed off and put the snack on the table.

widely!

Cheolno opened a large bamboo tube on the table.

In an instant, steaming dumplings appeared.

Seol-hwa, who had been watching from the side, noticed Han-bin’s expression and quickly grabbed a dumpling when he nodded.

“Oh, it’s delicious.”

“Snow flower, I made that myself.”

“Wow, Mr. Iron Man, you could open a guest house later. It’s as delicious as candy.”

“Yes, thank you. But that doesn’t sound like a compliment.”

“That’s a compliment, sir.”

Seolhwa raised her thumb while putting a dumpling in her mouth.

As the two were talking, Hanbin’s eyes lit up as he glanced at the iron bars.

I found that the hem of the iron robe was slightly torn.

“Cheolno, who bullied you again? Why are your clothes like that?”

Seol-hwa, who was eating candy next to Han-bin, also opened her eyes wide at Han-bin’s words.

“Mr. Iron Man, who hit you? Should I hit you instead?”

At Seol-hwa’s words, Cheol-no got up in a fit of rage.

“Wow, Seolhwa. Do I look like someone who gets beaten up somewhere?”

“A little bit… … .”

“Wow, this is too much. Seolhwa, how much do you really think of me as water?”

“therefore…….”

Seolhwa looked at Cheolno and trailed off.

Come to think of it, Cheolno was a great source of snacks for Seolhwa.

Seolhwa continued speaking quickly.

“I know. If you just look for the martial arts of your past, it’ll all be over. But I’m worried because you haven’t found the martial arts yet.”

“Okay, thanks for letting me know.”

Then Hanbin asked with a serious expression.

“Cheol-no, why are you wearing those clothes? Who the hell was harassing you? From what I’ve heard, it seems like Mrs. Jeong-hwa’s side was completely torn apart.”

“Well, rather than saying I left, I just walked out on my own two feet.”

“Walk out on your own two feet?”

Hanbin tilted his head, resting his chin on his hand.

Hanbin has already looted the hidden assets of Madam Jeonghwa.

But that doesn’t mean that Mrs. Jeong-hwa would have left empty-handed.

Cheol-no said after seeing Han-bin’s expression.

“It wasn’t a mess that day.”

“That day?”

“Yes, that day, so… … .”

Cheolno described the scene he saw, spitting out saliva.

The story was simple.

In the situation where Gaju Penggangwi did not come out of the closed-door training, Madam Jeonghwa was trying to raid various places in Habuk Pengga and run away in the middle of the night.

It is said that when they were about to leave Habukpengga with their belongings loaded onto a carriage, Peng Gangwi, who was practicing closed-door training, came out and stopped them.

Here, Cheolno interrupted the conversation and Hanbin, who had been resting his chin on a dumpling and concentrating as if listening to an old story, urged him on.

“so?”

“Well, the conclusion is that I even returned the hairpin and left.”

“Ah, so that’s why the atmosphere was bad earlier.”

“Of course it’s not good. The second son also went out with Lady Jeonghwa.”

“Are you saying that your third brother is still alive?

“Yes, the third son remains.”

Hanbin licked his lips. Hanbin didn’t expect Madam Jeonghwa to leave so quickly.

If Hanbin had known, he probably would have assigned someone to follow him.

Was the attempt to overthrow the Hanam Jeongga and Habuk Pengga the plan of only Madam Jeonghwa and Jeong Huiji?

Hanbin was convinced that someone other than the two had intervened.

This was not based on memories from a past life, but Hanbin’s feeling.

Isn’t there a saying in martial arts that says that ominous feelings always come true?

Just then, as the sun set and the moonlight began to faintly appear in the distance, Hanbin got up from his seat.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Where do you go on a late night?”

“Ah, Cheolno, what’s wrong? To be honest, it’s not like it’s a very busy night.”

“Is that so? But where are you going?”

“I’m going to take a walk to Maengho Bigo.”

“Is the tiger quiet?”

“Don’t worry, it’s something you’ve been given permission to do, Master. Just stay here and play with Seolhwa.”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll watch the story carefully.”

When Cheol-no spoke while hitting his chest, Han-bin smiled and asked.

“By the way, do you know where Jeong-i is?”

“Jeong-eun will be next to the training ground. But why Jeong-eun all of a sudden? Don’t you need a hammer?”

“No need for a hammer. Thanks, Iron Man.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin left the room like lightning.

* * *

The Tiger Hall was a seven-story building.

As the building is the tallest in Habukpangga, it looks like a tower when viewed from outside Habukpangga.

That’s why the martial artists in Gangbuk also call the tiger Bigo “Habukbotap (河北寶塔)”.

A tower piled high with precious treasures.

That is what the family and the martial arts people think about the tiger’s bigotry.

Of course, this was limited to the fifth floor and above.

As Hanbin arrived in front of the tiger statue, one of the guards came running.

The guard, very nervous, asked with eyes full of suspicion.

“Your Majesty, have you arrived?”

“Did you hear the story?”

“Yes, I heard. But I’m not sure if it’s right to just open the basement.”

Hanbin nodded at the guard’s words.

“that’s right.”

“Then, from now on, we will open the basement.”

“Then please.”

“And I have a favor to ask.”

“say it.”

“Absolutely no other floors. The orders I received clearly state that only the basement level can be opened.”

“Oh, don’t worry. Just open the basement.”

“Are you really okay, Your Majesty?”

“Even if you say it’s okay.”

“The basement isn’t even cleaned. Are you sure it’s okay? Don’t say anything else later.”

“Don’t worry, just open it.”

“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty.”

The security guard checked several times and then began to open the basement.

The method of opening the note was more complicated than I thought.

First, the guard took out a book wrapped in wax paper and opened it to the section that contained instructions on how to open the basement.

And as written in the book, the circular door in front of the note had to be turned in the right order to open.

Depending on how you turn the door, the number of floors it opens to also change.

Kikki-geek!

It sounded like the stairs were scraping.

As soon as the sound stopped, the four warriors guarding the vault rushed in at once and opened the vault.

Knock knock!

There was a sound like joints dislocating as the huge, hollow door opened.

As Hanbin went inside, the security guards closed the door again and turned the circular handle.

After closing the door, one of the warriors spoke.

“I guess the Four Princes are really crazy.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“No, I don’t understand why you asked to see the underworld of the Tiger Vigo among so many requests. It would have been better to just ask for one elixir.”

“I wonder if there’s any treasure hidden underneath.”

“What treasure, we’ve been underground for ten years?”

“Of course not,”

“That’s what I’m saying. Even treasures would have rotted away in ten years.”

“Come to think of it, that’s right.”

“Looking at it from the side, I feel sorry for myself. I missed that great opportunity.”

“Haha, that’s what Sa Gongja thought. Sa Gongja didn’t do anything about the recent Hanam Jeongga incident, did he? What was it…? That’s right, it was all done by the Cheongun Envoy.”

“Haha, now that I think about it, Prince Sa is really lucky.”

The guards looked at each other and laughed.

* * *

Hanbin slowly walked away.

The stairs leading to the basement were brighter than I expected.

In the middle of the stairs, lanterns were burning, giving off the smell of fish oil.

Perhaps the lights in the basement had turned on to match the number of people going down.

According to legend, the one who designed the Tiger Biko was Zhuge Shi, who was skilled in formations and machinery.

People in the martial arts world often say that when it comes to academics including military strategy, Nam Jegal and Buk Mo-yong are the best.

Why did he ask the Zhuge family instead of the nearby Mo Yong family?

In some ways, it may have been easier for the Zhuge clan, who was located slightly further away than the Murong clan, one of the five major clans in Gangbuk, to make a request.

The closer they are, the more uncomfortable the relationship between the five major families in Gangbuk is.

Hanbin arrived at the basement in the blink of an eye.

The basement was better organized than the security guard had feared.

Of course, when you see the weapons haphazardly placed on the wall and the occasional spider web, you may wonder why they built a basement.

But what Hanbin needed was not the appearance, but the inside.

What Hanbin is trying to find now is the starting point of an incident that will bring Habukpangga to the bottom in the future.

This is directly related to the theory that Habukpengga is connected to the Demonic Cult.

This happened right after the Great Battle of Jeongma broke out.

Not long after the outbreak of the Jeongma War, half of the Cheonma Shrine was discovered in Habukpengga’s secret archive.

If it is the Heavenly Demon Sect’s divine tablet, it is a divine tablet that is given to the descendants of the Heavenly Demon.

The fact that the English alphabet was discovered in the archives could only mean one thing.

Of course, Habukpengga did his best to cover up this incident, and as a result, the family was reduced to half.

This is a memory from a past life.

Originally, I thought it was something I could do slowly, but seeing that the time was subtly distorted, I decided it would be better to check it now.

Besides, the history of Habukpengga has already changed.

That’s right, this Confucius was expelled along with Lady Jeonghwa.

People might say, “What’s the big deal?” but for Hanbin, who still had his memories of his past life intact, it was a huge event.

In the memories of his previous life, this Confucius became the head of the household and later rose to the position of head of the household.

Now that this Confucius has left, the history of Hebei Pengga will move differently than in his previous life.

Well, the important thing was today.

‘What if we find the Cheonma Shrine here today?’

Of course, Hanbin was going to take it right away.

Just because it was the Demonic Cult’s divine altar, it wasn’t all that different from the Jeongpa’s spiritual altar.

The largest part of the materials for the Cheonmasindan was the inner tablet of the Cheonsanhyeolrang that had been taken a while ago.

What if you could get the real Cheonma Sindan?

Today, we will be able to execute the first stage of the Cheonji Il Yeon Gong.

Hanbin dug a hole in the floor with his heart, recalling a memory he had heard before.

Pick!

I took a picture with my inner strength and my heart went into the space between the floors.

Hanbin used his fist like a lever to lift the floor.

In an instant, a piece of agate stone the size of my forearm appeared.

Hanbin started digging the floor with that as a start.

Knock. Knock.

Pieces of bluestone began to pile up in the corner.

Knock. Knock.

Hanbin continued to clear the floor.

Hanbin, who felt that this could not continue, quickly recalled the first step of the Yongrin Sword Technique.

‘Lightning strike.’

Jeong or Geum?

Hanbin’s thought was that it depends on how you use it.

But surprisingly, it was effective.

Even this task has been sped up.

As the stones piled up, moisture began to rise from the floor.

Hanbin couldn’t help but tilt his head.

This was because they could not find a place where the Cheonmasindan could enter.

That was when.

A familiar smell wafted from somewhere amidst the musty smell.
