Episode 169. Wabul (2)

After a while.

Seolhwa wrote her name on the iron plate.

First of all, Seol-hwa, who had written the flower, hesitated for a moment.

Hanbin snickered at the sight. It seemed like he was contemplating whether to use blood or snow.

“Snow flower.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Seolhwa tilted her head and waited for Hanbin to speak next.

“You don’t have to decide now. Just write however you feel like. It’s not the letters that are important, but the scent they convey, Seolhwa.”

“Ah, the scent of letters?”

Seolhwa blinked as if she was thinking back on Hanbin’s words.

Hanbin smiled awkwardly at that sight.

This is because the scent of the letters that Hanbin spoke of was not an abstract meaning, but an actual scent.

A scent that only Hanbin could smell was mixed into the ink.

“Well, that’s true.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

Seolhwa smiled faintly and put down her brush.

Bam.

There was only one letter written on the coin.

Hanbin caught the iron fist.

“I’ll put this up for you, so go outside and make a wish. And… … .”

Hanbin whispered his last words so that only Seolhwa could hear them.

Then, looking at the fire outside, I thought of vegetarianism.

‘A hundred percent accuracy.’

* * *

Seol-hwa quietly went out and disappeared into the crowd of people waiting to make a wish at the Buddha.

It was when Seol-hwa had almost reached the Buddha without anyone noticing.

The crowd began to stir from the front row.

The uproar started when one of the people standing at the front to make an offering to the Buddha shouted.

“It’s a miracle!”

“What is this? Why do you call it a miracle?”

As the middle-aged woman behind her asked with curious eyes, the man who had shouted that it was a miracle raised his hand and pointed to the palm of Wabul’s hand.

“Look over there, there’s a steel plate… … .”

The man trembled slightly as he pointed to the iron plate on Wabul’s palm.

In that moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the iron gate.

A middle-aged woman who had checked the ironwork clapped her hands.

“Oh my god!”

After that, people started to murmur.

“How can an iron fist stand on the palm of Wabul’s hand?”

“Is that so? It’s a miracle. A miracle.”

Seolhwa confirmed her position through the noisy crowd.

“oh.”

Even the snowdrops let out a low sigh.

Among the numerous iron gates, there was only one that stood straight as if it had legs.

Seolhwa narrowed her eyes and focused on the iron wire.

At that moment, Seol-hwa’s mouth opened slightly.

The iron plate had the character for flower written on it.

It was clear that Hanbin had thrown the iron ball from this floor.

Then someone said,

“The wish of that iron master will certainly come true.”

“That’s right. The iron master would be happy.”

“It is clear that Buddha established the iron gate.”

At their commotion, Seolhwa turned her head and looked at Daru’s second floor.

There, Hanbin was waving with a bright smile on his face.

Judging from the gesture, it seemed like he was making a wish.

Seolhwa quietly put her hands together and made a wish.

As soon as it was time to have a cup of tea, Seolhwa raised her head.

The commotion that broke out in front of Wabul showed no sign of dying down.

Now even onlookers had gathered to look at the iron bell placed on the bonfire.

Seol-hwa left the commotion behind and went up to Daru where Han-bin was.

Hanbin was looking out the window without any concern.

Only his left hand was tapping the table to the beat.

Knock knock.

Seol-hwa tilted her head at the sight, and as soon as she sat back down, she asked him the whole story.

“Confucius, what happened?”

“I guess it was just a coincidence.”

“Is it a coincidence that the coin is standing there like that?”

“It was my skill to place a coin on my palm, but I didn’t know that the iron plate would stand like that.”

“ah.”

Seolhwa opened her mouth.

Hanbin said, chuckling at the sight.

“So your wish will come true. I don’t know what it is, though.”

“Then that’s good. Hehe.”

Seolhwa laughed without a word.

At that sight, Hanbin rested his chin on his hand and looked around Wabul.

Of course, he still hit the table with his left hand.

What is Hanbin doing?

Hanbin was now timing the time until someone approached the Buddha statue.

Hanbin’s hand, which had been tapping, stopped after Jeomsoi brought out another cup of tea.

“The tea you ordered has arrived, sir.”

Hanbin stopped tapping the beat with his fingers and looked at Jeomsoi.

When their eyes met, Jeomsoi smiled as brightly as possible.

Before the laughter died down, Hanbin took out the iron plate from his bosom and handed it to Jeomso-yi again.

“Jeomsoi said, her eyes growing wide.

“You don’t have to keep giving it to me… … .”

Contrary to what he said, Cheoljeon disappeared into Jeomso’s arms, and Hanbin continued speaking as if he had been waiting for it.

“I’m curious because this is my first time here. Are there any places worth seeing around here?”

“Is this a place worth seeing?”

When Jeom So-i asked in surprise, Han Bin said.

“Well, it’s nothing special, I like places where there are a lot of people, but I want to see a more quiet place.”

Hanbin placed one of the iron plates back on the table.

Jeomso-yi picked up the iron plate as if it was lightning and continued her explanation as if she had a watermill attached to her mouth.

“therefore…….”

Jeom So-yi’s explanation continued for a while, and Han Bin remembered the place he was talking about.

After explaining for a long time, Jeom So-yi took a breath and opened her mouth again.

“Whew… … These are the famous places of Jangwoonhyeon, sir. But please do not go to places like the abandoned houses or haunted wells that I mentioned just to test your courage.”

Jeomsoi fluently recited not only famous places but also unusual places.

“Haha, I understand.”

As Hanbin smiled happily, Jeomsoi bowed her head and returned to her seat.

As the dots disappeared, Seolhwa spoke in a low voice.

“No matter how I looked, there was no suspicious person.”

This was what Hanbin asked Seolhwa.

“Thank you, Seolhwa.”

It was when Hanbin nodded while looking at the story.

Jeomsoi came carrying a plate of snacks.

“Sir, this is my sincerity.”

“It’s going to happen soon… … .”

“Still, since it’s sincere, you should at least try it before you go.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As Hanbin smiled, Jeomsoi bowed and returned to her seat.

After a while.

Hanbin said after tasting the snacks on the plate and the newly brought tea.

“Seolhwa, shall we go now?”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin left Daru and began walking along the road.

Seolhwa couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.

“Master, what on earth are you planning? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure it out.”

“Oh, it’s nothing special, but I think Wabul is suspicious.”

“Wabul is suspicious?”

“Think about it, how can you believe that a Buddha statue that was lying down suddenly starts meditating one day?”

“The villagers believe it.”

“That makes it even stranger. Isn’t that because someone made you believe it?”

“You made people believe you?”

“I saw some peculiar guys among the iron men earlier.”

When Hanbin brought up a different story, Seolhwa tilted her head.

“Unique?”

“There was a guy of a different color mixed in during the battle.”

“Is that strange? Ironware is supposed to change color when touched by human hands.”

“What I saw was a dented iron gate.”

“Is that weird?”

“It’s not common for someone to waste money like that.”

“What can you do with a dented iron plate?”

“There’s a lot to do. I know a friend who used to gather information with iron coins in a begging bowl… … .”

“Oh, stop it, Your Majesty.”

Seolhwa waved her hand.

What Hanbin said was a fairy tale.

It was a tale of the past when people pretended to be beggars and exchanged information with coins in begging bowls.

Hanbin’s smile grew deeper as he saw Seolhwa’s expression.

“To me, Wabuldo is the same way. Except that it’s a little more dense and a little bigger.”

“If the board is big, maybe… … .”

“That seems to be the case. Seolhwa.”

“So it’s an information organization of a martial arts group? Which group is it? So it’s that organization that instilled trust in people?”

Seolhwa’s eyes were brighter than ever.

“We’ll have to find out from now on.”

Hanbin unfolded his fan and went ahead.

Chorus.

Hanbin’s eyes dilated quickly as he looked at the unfolded fan.

In fact, it was not a coincidence that the iron sword in the story stood upright on the Buddha’s palm.

Hanbin aimed his fingernails at the Buddha’s palm.

Thanks to his perfect accuracy, the iron sword hit the most suspicious part of the palm.

There was a commotion when the iron bar was stuck between his fingers.

The commotion was of course intentional and was meant to keep an eye on who would come to inspect the Buddha statue.

But strangely enough, no one came to see the Buddha statue.

In that case, there was only one possibility.

The conclusion was that the person Hanbin was looking for was already watching the Buddha statue.

At that time, Seol-hwa, who was following Han-bin, tilted her head.

“Confucius, where are you going?”

Seolhwa spoke in a loud voice, then whispered in a small voice so that only Hanbin could hear.

“I think someone is following me, Your Majesty.”

Hanbin signaled with his hand so that only Seolhwa could see.

It meant that he knew.

Hanbin shouted so that others could hear.

“Then let’s go and take a look!”

“is it so.”

The story hit the nail on the head.

How far did it go?

Hanbin said to Seolhwa.

“This isn’t the right place. Let’s go back now.”

“What do you mean?”

Seolhwa showed her understanding with her eyes, unlike her words.

Hanbin said quietly.

“Wow, you’re so persistent.”

“Didn’t you just ignore me?”

“I got rid of the first one, but the ones who joined in the middle are causing trouble.”

“How about you just hang up and leave, Confucius?”

“If you try to cut it off for no reason, you might end up damaging the blade.”

“Is that all, Your Majesty?”

“It’s one step ahead of the bloodthirsty demon I saw last time.”

Hanbin’s expression after he finished speaking was more serious than ever.

“… … .”

Seolhwa looked at Hanbin without saying anything.

The story of the encounter with the Bloodthirsty Demon is a well-known fact.

The bloodthirsty demon was a so-called master of the flower world.

But is it better than the Bloodthirsty Demon?

As Seolhwa opened her eyes wide, Hanbin smiled and continued speaking.

“Don’t worry. There are two, not one.”

“But why aren’t you worried?”

“If there’s one person, it’s hard to know what to do, but if there are two, there’s no choice.”

“You say there is no choice?”

“If a master like that suddenly attacks you, what can you do but just lie down?”

Well, I was half joking.

As long as there was a speed attribute among the eighteen begging steps and the Yonglin sword technique, at least I could escape.

In addition, judging from the behavior of the two who followed behind, there was no way they would attack Hanbin and Seolhwa.

Unlike Seolhwa’s feelings, Hanbin looked at the distant mountains with eyes full of anticipation.

There was only one reason why Hanbin left Daru and wandered around like this.

The purpose was to find people by looking at the places marked on the map.

There were two types of people Hanbin had to find.

The first is the one who wants to guard the treasure.

The second was someone who tried to steal the treasure.

The first group, those associated with Wabul, followed Hanbin as he left Daru.

However, since there is a long-distance relationship, I immediately ignored it because I knew I would find it someday.

Hanbin felt that their level was first-class.

While I was looking around Seolhwa and Jangunhyeon, I was lucky enough to find a second group trying to steal the treasure.

A presence similar to that of the unidentified monster seen at Hwangbo Se-ga.

A land presumed to be a flower garden.

It was clear that there was a group of people trying to steal the treasure.

Although he couldn’t tell Seolhwa, Hanbin was clearly happy.

In the art of war, it is said that if you know the enemy and know yourself, you will be free from danger in battle.

Now that we had found our enemy, we had to prepare to hunt.

Hanbin smiled invisibly.
