335. The Secret of the Dragon’s Sword (2)

The most important thing I got this time were three thousand-level orbs.

And that he gained the Zhuge Liang clan as an ally.

The most notable achievement in terms of appearance was this ship.

This ship was filled with the treasures that the dark lord had accumulated throughout his life.

This was an achievement that no one could have imagined.

In some ways, discovering this ship may have been heaven’s will.

I got this opportunity in a life-threatening situation.

Seol-hwa said after seeing Han-bin’s expression at that moment.

“What are you thinking about right now?”

“No matter how much I think about it, I was just really lucky in this case.”

“Last time, you said luck was a skill?”

“That’s obvious. Luck is also a skill.”

“We think we’re lucky too.”

“Are you guys lucky?”

“I was lucky to have met Confucius. What better luck could there be?”

“Hmm, when you put it that way, I have nothing to say.”

Hanbin looked at Seolhwa and Cheonghwa respectively, then quietly looked at the rippling river water.

As I looked at the river, memories of a critical moment a few hours ago came to mind.

What Hanbin encountered after falling into the whirlpool was a maze.

The problem was that the inside of the maze was filled with the river water rushing in.

In fact, even if it wasn’t a maze, there was no way to know how long I would last underwater.

Aren’t humans like fish?

No matter how strong one’s internal energy was, there was a limit to how long one could hold one’s breath.

There was a way to hold one’s breath without moving, but now was the time to get out of the maze.

There was no way to move without breathing.

What appeared then were Seolhwa and Cheonghwa.

They passed through the maze using the silk and silkworm worms they had.

The two threads, the Cheonjamsa that was tied to the organ and the Inmyeonjusa that was obtained from the underground space, did not break easily.

By marking the path we came from like this, it wasn’t too difficult to get out of the maze.

They soon got out of the maze, but the problem arose when they all got out of the maze.

After reaching the entrance of the underwater maze, I was suddenly swept away by the current.

Following Hanbin’s instructions, they first surrendered themselves to the current.

It was as if the current itself was kindly trying to guide me somewhere.

There they needed time to recover their strength.

The place they finally arrived at was Bansaam (半蛇巖), said to be the most remote place in Gwirakcheon.

The rock was a cliff shaped like a coiled snake.

The origin of the reflective rock was simple.

According to legend, there was a snake that was trying to become a dragon, but was cut in half by a master and turned into a stone statue.

A secluded cliff where it is said that the resentment of the snake is so deep that people who come near it will have their limbs paralyzed.

Just underneath it was a treasure trove of money that the Empress had amassed throughout her life.

The wealth that the queen had amassed was beyond Hanbin’s imagination.

There were rare jewels and secret items that could not be found in the world of martial arts. In addition, there were also rare treasures that appeared to be from the palace.

I also thought that the value of the treasures here might be similar to the wealth of the teenage generations.

A fortune equal to the entire ten-year-old’s?

The meaning was simple.

The story goes that Amje was the richest man in the world.

If you think about it, it could have been a false rumor spread by the secret agent to keep people away.

In fact, what surprised Hanbin more was that Cheonghwa knew how to sail a boat.

Cheonghwa said that it was easy to operate a merchant ship and that the sea routes on this side were also clear.

Thinking back on everything that had happened so far, Hanbin was the truly lucky one.

Because it was Seolhwa and Cheonghwa who saved him and gave him the opportunity to obtain such wealth.

At that moment, Seolhwa’s voice, full of worry, was heard.

“Why is your expression like that?”

“I just thought I was lucky, Seolhwa.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked at Cheonghwa.

Cheonghwa turned her head as if she felt gazes at her.

“It takes two days to get to Sacheon, right?”

“Yes, it takes one and a half days to get to the nearest ferry from Sacheondangga, and if you run hard from there, it takes exactly half a day to get to Sacheondangga. Your Majesty.”

Cheonghwa looked forward with her shoulders back proudly.

Seol-hwa, who was watching the scene from behind, looked at him with a worried expression.

“Cheonghwa, your speech is starting to resemble Confucius. Then you’ll be mistaken for disguising yourself as a man.”

“Then what do you say?”

Cheonghwa tilted her head.

“Well, that’s… … .”

Seolhwa trailed off. She had been with Hanbin for so long that she had forgotten how he used to speak.

Cheonghwa burst into laughter at that sight.

“See, it’s the same for you too, sister.”

So the ship they were on set sail with the wind at its back and headed toward Sacheon.

Hanbin, who enjoyed the clear sunlight and cool breeze with his whole body, quietly took the cracked Wol-ah out of its scabbard.

In this fierce battle, a small crack appeared in Wol-ah’s sword, which was stronger than Hyeon-cheol’s.

No matter what anyone says, this was a loss suffered in this fight.

There was one more unthinkable loss.

That means I lost half of the Yonglin Sword.

When he thought of the Yonglin Sword, emotions in Hanbin’s eyes slightly fluctuated.

For a moment, Hanbin immediately regained his composure.

This is because there was a legend that Yongrin always came looking for his master.

It was a shame to lose it like this, even though I hadn’t yet figured out the secret of how to combine the Yonglin Sword, but I believed that if the legend was true, it would come back to me on its own.

Well, there was no other way than to believe that.

If we look at the pros and cons of this fight, it was a great gain.

Could you become the best in the world just by having a half-assed Yongrin Sword?

That’s impossible.

But now that he has acquired this ship, Hanbin has become the best in the world.

Of course, it would be more accurate to say he is the richest man in the world, but in any case, he became the richest man in the world.

Hanbin, who had been swaying along the river, seemed to have sorted out his emotions, and his eyes found peace.

Like the warm sunlight shining on him.

* * *

Meanwhile, the area where a fierce battle with the Dark Emperor took place was now brightly lit with torches centered around the training ground.

Of course, it was to restore the passage leading to the underground space.

It had collapsed so badly that they only repaired up to the beginning of the passage.

However, Moon Ju-ik’s eyes, looking at the entrance of the passage, were not ordinary.

There weren’t many places where such sophisticated machinery could be built.

If you listen to the story of Zhuge Liang, it is neither a righteous faction nor a wicked faction.

But it didn’t seem like a cult.

The problem was that a new force had appeared in the martial arts world, and it was not from the righteous faction, evil faction, or demonic sect.

Moon Joo-ik looked at the passage with an uneasy expression.

At that time, behind him, Hyeonmun and Jegalgongyeong were having a serious conversation with serious expressions.

In Zhuge Liang’s hand was a note wrapped in oil paper.

Zhuge Liang’s eyes trembled when he saw the note.

It was a note that Hanbin left for Hyeonmun.

After everything was finished, detailed instructions were given for what to do next.

After reading the note, Zhuge Liang asked Hyeonmun.

“When on earth did you give me this note, Senior Hyunmun?”

“This is a note I wrote before rescuing you.”

“Are you really the Four Princes of Habukpengga?”

“As far as I know, that’s true. The Sacheondangga also joined the Habukpengga group… … And there’s no way he would lie, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. But judging from what’s written on this note, it seems that the Four Princes of Pengga were foreseeing everything.”

“Haha. If you had foreseen the future like that, why would you have been buried down there?”

Hyunmun looked at the entrance to the passage with a pitiful look.

Zhuge Liang shook his head vigorously.

“No, he wouldn’t have died.”

“Haha, even if you tell me to just give up. I understand how the Zhuge family feels, but you have to give up what you have to give up in order to move forward.”

“Yes, I will take that into consideration.”

Jegal Gongyeong bowed his head to Hyeonmun and quietly walked towards Moon Juik.

“Director Moon, can I talk to you?”

“Please speak.”

“I think it would be better to move to a quiet place for a while.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

After a while, the two moved to another place and started talking. Moon Ju-ik’s eyes widened as he listened to Jegal Gong-yeong’s words.

But that was only for a moment, as Moon Joo-ik slowly nodded his head.

After finishing his conversation with Moon Ju-ik, Jegal Gong-yeong shouted to everyone with all his might.

“We return to Sacheondangga! That is our repayment for your kindness!”

At those words, the people of the Zhuge family quietly turned their heads.

They didn’t ask any questions.

As if Zhuge Liang’s words were the truth, he quietly prepared to leave.

* * *

The next morning.

The upper reaches of Samdaecheon, which is connected to Gullakcheon.

The name Samdaecheon was given because three streams came together to form a large river.

One of the rivers connected to Samdaecheon was Gwirakcheon.

For that reason, fishermen avoid the upper reaches of the Samdaecheon River.

This was because there was a rumor among fishermen that catching fish from the Gurakcheon River would bring misfortune.

However, there were fishermen who occasionally visited this place.

The fisherman was called Mujin.

There was only one reason why Mujin came here, risking his life and fear.

It was just to make money.

The Samdaecheon River becomes wider as you go downstream.

In other words, the river was narrower upstream.

Because the water is narrow, the fish gather in one place, so when you cast your net, you can catch a satisfactory number of fish.

Mujin gritted his teeth and threw the net.

Whirik,

The nets that had been prepared in advance were submerged in the river.

There was a look of desperation on his face.

The desperation made them ignore the superstition that fish caught here bring bad luck.

Superstitions of that kind were no problem to him now.

I had to make a lot of money as quickly as possible.

A dry cough was heard behind Mujin, who was casting his net and waiting for the right time.

“Coolook, coolook.”

At the sound of continuous coughing, Mujin hung the net on the hook and ran back in a hurry.

“Young-ah, are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay, Father.”

“No matter how warm the weather is, I tell you to cover yourself with a blanket.”

“Okay, okay… … . Cool.”

The girl called Young-ah coughed.

Mujin covered the infant’s body with a blanket.

Mujin recalled the events of the past few years that had been turbulent.

Mujin was not originally a fisherman.

He was the eldest child of a wealthy scholarly family.

Mujin prepared diligently to take over the family line.

He married a good wife, had a beautiful daughter, and his life was going smoothly.

But one day, an epidemic broke out in the village and after his parents died, Mujin had to lead the household.

There is a saying in martial arts that even if a rich man falls, his fortune will last for three generations.

But that wasn’t the case for Mujin.

Even his beloved wife passed away from the epidemic.

The family was in ruins, and to make matters worse, even the daughter suffered from insomnia.

He ended up having to spend all his remaining assets on his daughter’s medicine, and in just three years, he lost all his remaining assets.

But even if I could go back in time, I would use all my remaining wealth to protect my daughter.

However, it was heartbreaking to be ripped off by those shady lawmakers.

That was when.

The net began to shake.

Thud. Thud.

It was a sign that the net was full of fish.

Mujin quickly pulled the net.

The net was half revealed.

The fish dance and flap their wings inside the net.

Even though this place is known for its abundance of fish, I didn’t know it would be this bad.

At this point, I thought it was a good idea to come here, even if it meant risking some misfortune.

The corners of Mujin’s lips, which had slightly raised, trembled at the very next moment.

“Ugh.”

He groaned without realizing it.

Suddenly, pulling up the net became too much of a struggle.

No matter how full the net was of fish, it was never this difficult.

If I pulled it out a little more, it seemed like I could catch the flapping fish, but the net was unmoving.

That was when.

Whoosh!

The net was pulled back without any resistance, as if someone had let go of the hand that was holding it.

Mujin’s eyes widened as he pulled the net.

All the fish that were flapping around got away.

When they pulled up the net, they found that it was broken.

Mujin urgently pulled the net all the way to the end.

At the end of it, an object that had been cut from the net was caught and carried away.

It was a sword broken in half.

The sight was so bizarre that Mujin stepped back and fell on his butt.

At that moment, the half-broken sword blade rolled around on Mujin’s stomach.

Clang.
