Episode 232. Cheonsujang (4)

The young beggar blinked at Hong Chil-gae’s words and asked.

“Grandpa, you don’t have any disciples. Isn’t that why the people of the martial arts world call you ‘no disciple’?”

“No, I said. I recently got a disciple, my child.”

Hong Chil-gae patted the young beggar’s head.

The little beggar blinked and said.

“I’m not very open-minded, so I’m not aware of the rumors. I’m sorry, Grandpa.”

“It’s okay, honey… … .”

Hong Chil-gae looked at the young beggar with pleased eyes.

Although he was not an open-minded child, he was the most clear-sighted of the young beggars.

A child who hasn’t even been asked his name yet.

Hong Chil-gae said to the beggar’s child.

“How about coming into the open?”

“Is it open?”

“Yeah, but how long can you not stay under the bridge with your peers?”

“But it’s comfortable now.”

“Every beggar must have a dream.”

“Is this a dream?”

“I think it is right to now enter the open era and dream of commanding the Central Plains.”

“Then, is your grandfather teaching you martial arts?”

“No. I will decide separately who will be your master.”

Hong Chil-gae thought of someone in his head.

Hong Chil-gae, who had finished thinking, grabbed Jang-oh’s waist who was lying down.

Swish.

People who were looking at Hong Chil-gae at that sight began to grumble.

“Wow, look at that. He lifts that big thing like it’s a piece of paper.”

“I guess that guy is also an expert.”

“It’s not just about being a pro, it’s about being open-minded.”

“Open?”

“Look at that knot on his waist.”

“Wow, there are so many knots.”

Hong Chil-gae left the inn, leaving the noisy people behind.

The beggar boy asked.

“Why are you taking that old man with you?”

“I’m not your uncle, I’m your priest.”

“Are you a priest?”

“Well, it’s similar to my younger sibling.”

“Oh my god, that guy is my brother?”

“Yes, that’s what it will be like in the future.”

Hong Chil-gae, who was smiling brightly, lifted Jang-o up and threw him away.

Whoosh.

Jang-oh, who was unable to move due to the acupuncture, rolled his eyes and passed out on Hong Chil-gae’s shoulder.

Hong Chil-gae, carrying Jang-o on his shoulder, started to walk ahead without any hesitation.

The young beggar suddenly became curious about the contents of the note stuck on Jang-oh’s back.

However, I couldn’t ask because I was intimidated by the sight of Hong Chil-gae walking with such momentum.

A sincere smile appeared on Hong Chil-gae’s lips as he walked ahead.

The disciple’s request always made Hong Chil-gae feel good.

The note’s contents were simple.

The request was to make Jang-oh capable of acting like a human being.

“Without regard to means and methods,” was the condition Hanbin added.

The method of creating a human was simple.

If you open it, that’s the end of it.

Then, if you tell a suitable person to act like a human, everything will work out.

Well, I’ve already decided who I’ll entrust it to.

He’ll be all over the place, though.

Hong Chil-gae’s smile grew deeper.

Hong Chil-gae felt good that Han-bin had asked him such an easy favor.

Hong Chil-gae, who had escaped from the market, threw Jang-o into the stream without any concern.

with a splash.

The beggar boy asked.

“Won’t you die?”

“People don’t die that easily, kid.”

Hong Chil-gae showed his white teeth.

Seolhwa was scratching the back of her head as Hanbin headed to Cheonsujang, leaving behind Shinchangyangga and Sacheondangga.

Hanbin asked, seeing Seolhwa’s apologetic expression.

“What’s with your expression? Seolhwa.”

“No, Your Majesty.”

“Is it because you threw a rock at me?”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

“It’s okay. It’s okay to make mistakes.”

“That’s not it… … .”

“Then why do you have that expression?”

“Confucius told me to kill him.”

“Are you talking about bandits?”

“Yes, the Master told me to kill him, but I felt like I shouldn’t kill him, so I just left him alone. However, it also seemed like I was disobeying the Master’s orders… … .”

Seolhwa looked at Hanbin with an apologetic expression.

Hanbin chuckled at that sight.

“Snow flower.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“You don’t have to kill me anymore.”

“yes?”

“You don’t have to kill anyone when you’re with me. Even if I give orders, you can decide whether or not to kill someone. That’s the rule from now on.”

“Hehe, really?”

“Yes, and what I’m saying applies to Cheonghwa too, so please understand.”

“… … .”

Cheonghwa couldn’t say anything and just blinked her eyes.

Hanbin said at that sight.

“Regardless of your origins, you are my maids until you come out, so know that.”

“Thank you, Master. I am sorry too.”

Cheonghwa finally opened her mouth.

But just like Seolhwa, Cheonghwa also has a really sorry expression.

At that sight, Seolhwa poked Cheonghwa’s side and asked.

“What are you sorry about, Cheonghwa?”

“That’s a little hard to explain… … .”

When Cheonghwa mumbled, Seolhwa asked.

“Did you also disobey the Master’s orders? He told you to kill them, but you only killed half of them?”

“That’s not it… … .”

When Cheonghwa tried to muddle through again, Hanbin stepped forward.

“Snow flower.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“If people hear this, they’ll think I’m the leader of the murderers. Why did you tell me to kill them, but I only killed half of them?”

“Hehe, that’s not it. Cheonghwa keeps not talking. I need to know what she did to deserve her regrets.”

As Seolhwa started to whine, Hanbin narrowed his eyes and said.

“Are you saying that because you feel sorry for eating the food you just ate? That’s exactly what I see.”

“yes that’s right.”

Cheonghwa nodded.

When Hanbin pointed out her sins precisely, Cheonghwa’s face brightened as if she had been granted an indulgence.

Hanbin said at that sight.

“That’s okay. I already paid the compensation anyway.”

“What’s the compensation?”

“I found the Sacheondangga items and compensated the store owner for all the damages he suffered, so Cheonghwa has nothing to feel sorry about.”

“Really? Could it be that Confucius… … .”

Hanbin chuckled at Seolhwa’s trailing words.

“Our story has grown a lot.”

“Oh, no, Your Majesty.”

Hanbin, who was laughing while watching Seolhwa take a step back, turned his gaze to Cheonghwa as if he remembered something.

“Cheonghwa, I have a favor to ask.”

“Please speak, Your Majesty.”

“If possible, avoid poison when others are present. You will be misunderstood.”

“Poison?”

“There was a seasoning jar on the table in Sacheondangga?”

“Yes, I sprinkled that on my food and ate it. It was really delicious.”

“The thing in that seasoning jar was poison.”

“oh.”

Cheonghwa hurriedly covered her mouth.

At that sight, Hanbin looked up at the sky for a moment.

I haven’t explained to her about the delay in reading yet.

But since Hanbin couldn’t take care of Cheonghwa his whole life, I thought I should explain to him what I know about Gongdokjiche when I have time.

Hanbin looked in the direction where Cheon Soo Jang was.

Come to think of it, it seems like I may have put the carriage far away for no reason.

Songhwasan Mountain with Cheonsujang and Jeolho Valley with a carriage were in opposite directions.

Seol-hwa and Cheong-hwa follow Han-bin, who walks in front, chattering away.

Hanbin walked slowly, taking in the clouds floating in the blue sky.

Hanbin muttered to himself.

“There is no such thing as a paradise.”

“Confucius, what do you mean by a paradise?”

“When you look at it this way, it seems like the world is peaceful.”

“Peaceful?”

“That’s right. You and I don’t have any worries right now. Well, Habuk where we are is too.”

“Hehe, that’s right. A world with sweets is a beautiful place.”

“Yes, it looks just like a swan floating on water.”

“A swan?”

“A swan floats gracefully on the water, but underneath it, you can see that it is constantly struggling to maintain its elegance.”

“Are you saying that it’s like a martial arts world?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Confucius.”

“Why? It’s Seolhwa.”

“Let’s not struggle.”

“haha.”

Hanbin smiled happily.

Because what the story said was so honest.

But, it was still a time when we had to struggle.

Hanbin walked slowly while having a conversation like a Zen question and answer session with two maids.

Then Hanbin shouted.

“Okay, now let’s loosen up a bit!”

“yes?”

Seolhwa opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Seolhwa knew that Hanbin meant to loosen up.

Because Hanbin’s feet were getting faster and faster.

Hanbin shouted.

“If you catch me, you can eat dinner as much as you want!”

At those words, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa’s eyes sparkled.

Of course, the foods they each thought of were different.

The snow flower was sweet and the blue flower was roasted rabbit with poison.

I once heard from Seolhwa that roast rabbit was delicious.

Cheonghwa put strength into her legs, thinking that if she could eat roast rabbit with poison as seasoning, her wish would be fulfilled.

Whoosh.

Hanbin ran slowly.

Although he said it was slow, thanks to the outstanding repentance technique of Gugeoksippalbo, he had already arrived near Songhwasan Mountain.

Although the pine trees have not yet found their true colors, the pine trees on Songhwasan Mountain are no longer as red as they used to be.

Now it was evidence that the earth’s energy was gradually returning to normal.

At that moment, the panting sounds of Cheonghwa and Seolhwa could be heard from behind.

“Oh, Your Majesty. Gasp, gasp.”

“We’re going to die, gasp gasp.”

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa approached, extending their right hands.

Hanbin stopped walking.

When I glanced back, both of their faces were pale.

Seolhwa’s face was somewhat better, but Cheonghwa’s complexion was pale, as if she would die soon.

Hanbin approached them, linking arms.

That was when I felt a huge force behind me.

Judging from the fact that he approached without making a sound, he must have known about the existence of Hanbin and his group.

But why are you approaching me with such momentum?

Seolhwa must have felt it too, as she hid Cheonghwa behind her back.

An unidentified master who is gradually closing the distance.

Hanbin tried to gauge his opponent’s level.

Judging by the momentum he generated, he was definitely a master of the flower arrangement.

Hanbin and his group were fine, but the pine trees behind them were shaking and making a strange noise.

Square, square.

It was influenced by the momentum of the master.

Who on earth could it be?

Hanbin checked the moonlight on his waist and looked forward again.

The opponent now began to look like a dot.

It came into view.

The opponent ran towards Hanbin without stopping.

The dot grew larger and larger until it was now recognizable as a human figure.

That also made me tilt my head for a moment.

The opponent was carrying a huge stone.

Besides, there was no way to live.

Considering that he was carrying a huge stone slab, his attire was quite extravagant.

I had never heard of a master carrying a stone on his back before.

The distance has now narrowed to the point where even faces can be seen.

Huh?

Hanbin tilted his head again.

It was a face that I felt like I had seen somewhere before.

Hanbin spoke softly.

“By any chance, Hwangbo… … .”

However, Hanbin was unable to finish his speech.

It was because of the laughter of the person who approached.

“ha ha ha!”

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa flinched and stepped back at the sound of their opponent’s laughter, which was as loud as a lion’s roar.

Ta-da-dak.

The opponent came to Hanbin without slowing down.

The amount of dust he brought with him was enormous.

As he stopped, a gust of dust poured forward.

Dust and dirt rushing in like a tidal wave.

Hanbin smiled brightly and showed his palm.

‘True Dragon’s Soul Reaper.’

Although he didn’t know how to use the Jinryongpahonjang he learned through Gongsun Se-ga, Hanbin somehow managed to clear away the dust that had come crashing down like a tidal wave.

As the dust cleared, the opponent’s face was revealed.

A face with a gentle smile.

He said to Hanbin.

“How have you been?”

“What is going on here, sir?”

Hanbin was deeply absorbed in the game.

He was none other than Hwangbo Mancheong.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes.

It wasn’t the momentum of the Hwangbo Mancheong I knew before.

For a moment, Hanbin’s eyes widened.

A blue dot was discovered on Hwangbo Mancheong.

In other words, it means that it is not just a simple debt, but a payment debt!

Hanbin clenched his fist.
