Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1493



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1493. Were you in the People’s Liberation Army?

Finally, when Mana Phtras told Elio to ‘go’, he stood facing the giant stone monument.

This isn’t my first time going back to summer.

At that time, it was possible to return to a specific time period using the core of Kama Devias.

Kama Devias’ core was a one-time thing and has long since been turned to dust.

Although I had no expectations of blood relations, my heart pounded at the thought of meeting Gucheonhyeonnyeo again.

‘Let me tell you why.’

Elio, who had been muttering as if it was nothing, pulled out the Nine Heavenly Sword Spirit.

When the celestial gate finally opened, Elio jumped into it without hesitation.

***

Gooooooo―.

Suddenly, an invisible energy swirled across the night sky, then it vomited out a person and disappeared.

Bam.

The aftereffects of the magical field that had lightly landed on the ground did not move for a while.

After a while, Yeonjeok came to his senses and looked around.

Perhaps because it was the middle of the night, it was pitch dark everywhere and not a single light could be seen.

Finally he turned around.

The old land spirit shrine was still standing just as it had been the day it left.

Looking at the land god tomb, the events that happened in Yeo-nam’s house came back to me.

I remembered the old woman, the man and woman, and the man and woman’s children, So-ryong and So-ok, whom I had completely forgotten about.

“I wonder if he’s still alive?”

Yeonjeok, who was reminiscing about the past for a moment, entered the Tojishinmyo.

The reason he returned to this world where he had no relatives was to meet the Nine Heavenly Women.

The interior of the Land God Shrine was older than I remembered, but there had been no major changes.

“It seems like this land god shrine is unpopular, whether in the past or present.”

Yet, it is amazing to see that it has not disappeared and is still standing strong.

He sat cross-legged in the middle of the land god shrine where the lotus was.

And in order to communicate with the Nine Heavenly Women, he began to recite the Taesangjeongilgangrimsinju (太上正一降臨神呪).

Of course, there is no guarantee that the Nine Heavenly Women will appear just because you memorize it, but there is nothing else to do.

***

A night with a clear crescent moon in the black sky.

A man running frantically through the darkness tripped on a tree root and rolled around.

The shock must have been quite severe, but the man didn’t even groan, let alone scream.

He quickly got up, lowered his posture, and looked around.

But there was no sign of life, only the sound of the wind.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the land god’s tomb on the verge of collapse.

The eyes of the man who sees the land god, Chen Guoyue, narrowed.

Since it was the direction he was running in, it would have nothing to do with the assassins on his tail.

It’s still so cold that the snow that fell in the fields hasn’t melted yet, so sleeping outside is out of the question.

I glanced at the watch on my wrist and saw that it was 2 AM.

Even the assassins who had been chasing him were tired and it was time to rest.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to just get some treatment and go?’

Jin Gwa-wol, who was muttering to himself, approached the Land God Temple silently.

‘huh?’

Jin Gwa-wol, who was approaching the Land God Temple, stopped.

Do you hear a sound of an order being chanted from inside?

A spell from a remote land god temple with no permits nearby, and at this hour!

He clenched his teeth and hesitated, then slowly pushed the wooden door with his fingertips.

After all, since we’ve come this far, we can’t turn our backs on an unidentified opponent.

Soon, Jin Gwa-wol looked inside through the slightly open door.

In the center of the land god shrine, a young man wearing strange clothing was sitting alone, cross-legged.

Incomprehensible sounds kept coming out of his mouth.

Just then, the door, which was slightly open in the wind, shook and made a sharp noise.

Squeak―.

Jin Gwa-wol’s heart sank, but since it had come to this, he just took a step inside.

At that moment, the young man’s eyes, which had been half-open, opened wide.

The eyes of Jin Guowue and the young man met in the air.

Then Jin Gwa-wol’s gaze turned to the young man’s hands placed on his thighs.

If you’re in league with assassins, you should have weapons, but you’re empty-handed.

Only then did Jin Guowue sigh in relief and say:

“I guess you were in the middle of a prayer meeting… … Sorry for the interruption. I just stopped by to take a break on my way back. It must be a bit cold.”

Jin Guowue forced a smile to show that he had no intention of attacking.

She stared at the middle-aged man with curious eyes.

The face looks like that of a fellow countryman, but the clothes are completely out of place.

I have never seen clothes of that type in Kyushu, or even on the continent of Rhodes.

A strange light appeared in Yeonjeokha’s eyes as she observed the middle-aged man.

No matter how you looked at it, what the man was wearing on his wrist was a watch.

“Is that a clock?”

Jin Gwa-wol looked at the young man with a puzzled look and asked back.

“Do you want to know the time?”

“yes.”

Along with the words, Yeonjeokha put her hand into his bosom.

Jin Gwa-wol was startled for a moment and quickly stepped back, putting some distance between himself and the young man.

The young man misunderstood that he was taking out a weapon from his bosom.

But what the young man was holding in his hand was a pocket watch.

Only then did Jin Gwa-wol approach the young man with an embarrassed expression.

“I guess the timing is off. The time now is… … 2:27.”

Yeonjeok-ha, who was setting the time on his pocket watch to 2:27, tilted his head.

Because the middle-aged man’s watch and my own watch seem quite different.

First of all, the numbers were overwhelmingly pocket watches.

Jin Gwa-wol, who had been looking at it with curiosity, noticed it and said something.

“That doesn’t look like a clock, but rather some kind of instrument for measuring air pressure.”

“Is the watch correct?”

“It’s just past 2:29, so let’s try to guess.”

The watch I was watching was timed with that of a middle-aged man.

If it was right, I would keep using it, but if not, I would just throw it in the Mahadam.

As the young man put the pocket watch back in his bosom, Jin Guowue spoke as if passing by.

“This is fate, so let’s introduce ourselves. My name is Jin Gwa-wol. My hometown is in Jungpyeong Village, which is nearby.”

“I am a Yeonjeok. I am from Hapbi.”

“You’ve come from quite far. What brings you from Heopi to Shiunshi? I saw you reciting a spell earlier. Are you some kind of monk?”

“I’m not a monk. I was just traveling.”

“You wouldn’t have walked around in that outfit, would you? People would have looked at you strangely.”

“Ah… … Is it really strange?”

“Your clothes are like that, and your spells are like that… … Do you happen to practice Falun Gong?”

“Falun Gong? What martial arts school is that?”

When Yeonjeokha didn’t understand at all, Jinguowue knew that he had nothing to do with Falun Gong.

“There is a method of cultivating the mind and body called Falun Dafa, called Falun Gong. If you learn it, you will be arrested by the public security, so don’t go near it.”

“What is public security?”

“Doesn’t someone who came from Hapbi not know the police?”

Jin Gwa-wol looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with bewildered eyes.

From his strange attire to his order, he looked like he had a screw missing from his head.

When Yeonjeokha shook her head, Jin Gwa-wol sighed lightly and explained.

“They call the Public Security Department the Public Security Department. You know what the Public Security Department is, don’t you?”

“Is this a place like Pocheong?”

“Oh, this is driving me crazy. But do you remember watching the drama? … … Yes. The police officer in the drama is a police officer. Do you have your ID?”

“A badge?”

“That’s something that only appears in dramas. It’s a resident identification card.”

“There isn’t any?”

“Then what about the residence permit?”

“What is that?”

“You said you came from Hapbi, right? If you want to stay in Sipun City, you need to get permission from the local government. Then, you will receive a residence permit.”

“There isn’t any?”

“Then what do you have? What can you do to prove yourself?”

“It’s a badge.”

“Oh my god, are you kidding me? Ah… … .”

Jin Gwa-wol, who had been yelling excitedly, hurriedly grabbed his side as the sharp pain surged.

The spot where the knife was cut was wet, so the bleeding hadn’t stopped.

Yeonjeokha, who had been watching Jin Gwa-wol blankly, returned to his side.

Jin Gwa-wol, who thought Yeon-jeok-ha was a psychopath, didn’t care.

“Oh my, you got stabbed?”

“It’s just a little scratch.”

“Can I help you with your treatment?”

“Do you know how to do it?”

Jin Gwa-wol asked casually, saying that it was an area that was difficult for him to treat.

I didn’t expect much because I thought the other person was crazy, but right now I desperately need help from others.

Instead of giving a thoughtful answer, he quickly moved his hands.

After drawing blood, he took out ointment from Mahadam and applied it thoroughly to the wound, then wrapped it tightly with a cloth.

Jin Gwa-wol couldn’t see well because Yeon Jeok-ha’s body blocked his vision.

However, I was finally able to feel relief when I felt the pain starting to subside.

“Thank you. I will never forget this favor.”

“What about grace? Don’t you say that all the four seas are your compatriots?”

Jin Gwa-wol sighed as he thought Yeon-jeok-ha was imitating the lines from the drama again.

‘I’m not in my right mind to say this… … .’

I just turn away, but the young man’s clear eyes bother me.

‘This is also fate, should I take it back?’

He is the vice president of Hongryeon Trading Company. Creating a position in the company is not a simple task.

“Do you have a family?”

“If we are talking about parents and children, then there is none.”

Yeonjeokha’s voice was calm.

Even if they were descendants, their parents and children had been dead for a long time.

“Hmm, I guess so.”

Jin Guowue nodded, but did not readily reveal his intentions.

Because it is a matter of accepting someone as a member of the Triad, we must be careful.

“By the way, what does Mr. Jin do?”

“Don’t call me Mr. President, call me Vice President.”

“Vice President Jin, is this okay?”

“Usually, they call him ‘Vice President.’”

“Oh, Vice President.”

“I am the vice president of Hongryeon Trading Company in Sipun City. I came to my hometown to attend my father’s funeral… … .”

“You were stabbed.”

At the sound of the sword, Jin Gwa-wol’s hand unconsciously reached for his waist.

I don’t know what medicine I applied, but now there is no more of that peculiar tingling sensation.

“But what kind of medicine did you apply?”

“It’s a medicine that’s good for wounds.”

“It can’t be tiger oil or something, right? At the very least, you should apply something like Buseojisanyugo (external ointment)… … .”

“I don’t know the name. But it’s a medicine used in the military, so I’m sure it will work well.”

“Were you in the People’s Liberation Army?”

“No. Were you in the Northern Kingdom Army?”

“ah…….”

At this point, Jin Guowue was convinced that the young man was crazy.

As he was pondering, ‘Should I wipe off the medicine on my side?’, he heard a young man’s voice.

“By the way, did you encounter a robber, Mr. Vice President?”

“Even if ten robbers attack me, they won’t be able to inflict a single wound on me.”

“… … .”

I glanced over the falling moon.

I felt a strange power, but it didn’t seem to be much stronger than the masters of the Green Forest.

“Haa! They sent assassins from the Jangrakbang to my hometown.”

“An assassin?”

“That’s not just any assassin… … Haa, you don’t need to know. No, it’s better if you don’t know.”

“If it’s Jangrakbang, isn’t it the Jeongdo breakwater in Namyang, Hanam?”

Yeon Jeok-ha, who remembered the fight between Jang Rak-bang and Hyeol Sa-mun that he had witnessed in Nanyang in the past, pretended not to know.

“I don’t know what drama you watched, but the Jangrakbang I’m talking about is the underworld in Shiwon.”

“Aha, if you say black society, you mean black road?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, is the vice president a political party member?”

Jin Gwa-wol shrugged his shoulders and chuckled at Yeon-jeok-ha’s serious question.

People would laugh at the thought of calling the triad a sect.

“Why are you laughing?”

“It’s because it seems like martial arts dramas have ruined people. Our Hongryeon Company… … .”

Just as Jin Gwa-wol’s explanation was about to begin, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then a loud man’s voice was heard.

“Jin Gwa-wol! Come out! Let’s fight like men! How long will a guy with over a thousand Dimensional Powers run away like a rat?”

In that moment, Jin Gwa-wol’s face turned pale and hard.

It was past 2am so I thought they would only move after daylight, but they kept following me!
