Episode 1514. Did you sell your heirloom?

Shiwonsi Airport waiting room.

Christie, who had sent Jin Gwa-wol away first and was sitting across from Yeon Jeok-ha, suddenly asked.

“Is there anyone looking for it?”

“Did you hear that from the Vice President too?”

“No. Looking at your expression, I think it’s probably something like that. Are you a woman?”

“Similar.”

“Phew! Where can you find something similar? You are so arrogant.”

“Honestly, I don’t know who I’m looking for. A god, a human… … That’s why.”

“But I guess you’re not a man.”

“If you’re not my enemy, you don’t have to go looking for a man.”

In that regard, Yeonjeokha’s thoughts were firm.

Christie, who was chuckling, suddenly remembered what her father had said about Yeonjeokha.

“Is it by any chance that you are looking for the Nine Heavenly Women?”

“What I heard from the vice president is true.”

“No, at first I asked because I felt like it was a woman’s intuition.”

“That’s right. Do I look like a crazy person to you too?”

“No, not at all. I guess there must be a reason to look for it.”

“Thank you. You’re the first person who’s ever said that to me.”

“Thank you too.”

“what?”

“… … You saved me in the office of the president of Baejudaegok.”

“Did you see it?”

“Yes, I’m a mutant. My metabolism is much faster than that of normal people.”

“I see.”

He scratched his chin with an embarrassed expression.

When he looked awkward, Christie quickly changed the subject.

“But what happened? In the King of Study, Officer Im measured your brother’s dimensional power with the MDM (Medical Variation Meter). At that time, it clearly came out as 0… … .”

“It’s martial arts.”

“That martial arts technique that appears in martial arts movies?”

“uh.”

“Isn’t that something that only happens in movies or dramas?”

“Movies and dramas are made to seem plausible. Just think of me as someone who has truly mastered martial arts.”

“Wow! Then there must be a school or a teacher?”

“There are no sects, there are teachers.”

“Who is your teacher?”

“The Nine Thousand Heavenly Women.”

“Are you a female freshman?”

“that’s right.”

“So that’s why you were looking for the teacher?”

“Well, I guess that’s what it is.”

The lover admitted it coolly.

At the same time, she was also his ex-wife who had reincarnated, but he didn’t tell me anything about it.

“Wow! It’s like something out of a movie or drama.”

“You don’t think I’m crazy?”

“Scientists were experimenting with black holes when the Black Sphere appeared all over the world, and it caused unexpected mutations. We can no longer say that the world we live in is normal.”

“oh!”

Yeonjeokha looked at Christie with new eyes.

I thought she was just a reckless girl, but when I see her like this, I see that she’s quite thoughtful. They say you don’t know a person until you try, and it seems to be true.

“Oh, by the way, Dad told me to give you this.”

Along with the words, Christie handed Yeon-jeok-ha a plastic card.

“Is this a credit card?”

“Yes, there are many places that don’t accept cash. There’s also the risk of losing cash. My brother told me to use it comfortably until I get settled in.”

“Tell him I’ll use it with gratitude.”

“Yes, you can use it overseas. If you ever go to Korea, use it there. Korea is a country that uses cards more than cash… … If you don’t have a credit card or can’t make mobile payments, your life will be inconvenient.”

“You’re not using cash?”

“Yes, do you remember when we had lunch together before? I paid for my order with a card at the self-ordering machine there. All stores in Korea have those too, so you can’t buy anything without a card.”

“That’s amazing.”

“It’s even more surprising that my brother doesn’t know that. These days, even in the countryside, there are unmanned ordering machines.”

At that moment, a message announcing boarding of the joint flight appeared on the waiting room monitor.

After pointing to the message with his hand, which was difficult to answer, he stood up from his seat.

“Get on board. We have to go.”

Christie said, rising from her seat in a hurry.

“Brother, I will call you often. If you change your phone number, please let me know. Okay?”

“Okay, let’s talk later.”

After waving her hand lightly, she walked towards the boarding gate.

Anhui Province.

Hapjeong Airport.

I was amazed at the fast speed of the plane that was heading out the exit, mingling with the crowd of people.

This is because a distance that would have taken twenty days to travel by carriage was reached in just one hour and thirty minutes.

“Even the unfairness wasn’t this fast… … .”

The plane, which looked like a whale, was incredibly fast.

He was the first one to leave the airport, as he had no luggage to claim from the plane.

He looked around and then went to stand in a long line of taxis.

I could use the Kowloon Ferry, but I plan to take a taxi to adapt to modern civilization.

I also wanted to look out the window at the changed scenery.

I would like to use the fortune telling technique, but honestly, I don’t have the courage to go all the way to Seokgyeongjang.

They say even mountains and rivers change in ten years, but three hundred and ninety years have passed.

What if there was no camera?

If you were to ride a cloud and get caught on someone’s cell phone camera, that would be a problem too.

Even while I was lost in thought, the line continued to shorten.

When it was finally his turn, he quickly opened the taxi door like everyone else and got in and sat down.

The knight asked, moving the car gently.

“Where should I take you?”

“Yeo Kang-hyeon’s stone mirror.”

“Where is Yeo Kang-hyeon?”

The voice of the knight asking again was a little sharp.

I know Yeo Gang-hyeon because it’s near Soho, but I don’t remember hearing the name Seokgyeongjang.

“It’s a stone pavilion. Do you happen to know Wonkasan?”

“yes.”

“It’s near Wonkasan, so if you ask around there, everyone will know.”

“Okay. Then I’ll take you to Wonkasan. It’ll take about an hour if you follow Soho.”

“… … .”

I had a strange feeling of connection to the article’s description.

It only took an hour and thirty minutes from the distant Shipunsi to Hefei, but it takes about an hour from Hefei to Yeoganghyeon.

I don’t know what kind of goblin trick this is.

When the young passenger remained silent, the driver – although his lips were quivering – did not speak.

The taxi left the airport and arrived near Wonkasan after about an hour.

However, contrary to Yeonjeokha’s assurance, no one knew about Seokgyeongjang.

“Seokgyeongjang? I don’t know.”

“Is that a new motel? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“It looks like a restaurant, but go downtown.”

The driver, who was asking for directions while driving around on the road, spoke to a young passenger.

“Sir, if there is a stone statue nearby, it would be better to get off and look for it.”

“Is that so? How much is it?”

“It’s two hundred and fifty yuan (about 46,000 won).”

As soon as Yeon-jeok Ha, who had paid the taxi fare, got out of the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove off noisily.

The lonely man looked around with a bewildered expression on his face.

I already have a bad sense of direction, but seeing the completely transformed village makes me lose track of where I am.

It was developed into a tourist attraction, so none of its old appearance remained.

If there was even a path left from the past, I would have tried to find it somehow, but it was a completely different world.

It was as daunting as falling from the fourth heaven.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to head towards Wonkasan.

However, the original price remains unchanged, so I plan to look for a stone market based on that.

I circled the mountain of Won-ga-san over and over again.

Then, as the sun was slowly setting, he was finally able to find the site of the stone quarry.

“Ugh… … .”

The site of the stone pavilion was overgrown with weeds.

In the center, there was only one rusty concrete building that seemed to have been abandoned.

The family mountain where Namgung Yeon and his daughter’s graves were located was also pushed straight down, leaving no trace.

They said it was a ruin, and it really was.

‘No wonder people don’t know about Seokgyeongjang… … .’

At first I thought everyone I met was from outside the country, but now I understand.

As he was walking down the main road, two old men caught his eye.

As I got closer, it seemed like they were playing a game of chess.

I stood by the old people and watched them until the long game was over.

The long game ended shortly thereafter.

The old man, who had lost the game of chess, took out some coins from his pocket and grumbled.

“Nimiral. How can I play chess when you keep staring at me from the side? Just go back the way you were. You’re loitering around like you have something to eat. Hey, spit! spit! spit!”

He frowned slightly at the old man’s rude behavior.

But it was a pity that he didn’t say anything about the old man’s behavior.

“I have a question for you.”

The old man who won the bet took his money and turned to the young man.

“What?”

“I came here to find the stone quarry up there. There was only one building left unfinished. Do you know anything about the stone quarry?”

The old man who won the bet shook his head.

“I don’t know because I’m from another country. This guy is from here, so he might know. Do you know anything about Seokgyeongjang?”

The old man who lost the bet answered with a grumpy face.

“I know.”

“Then teach me. I’m asking about the stone mirror.”

The old man who lost the bet looked the young man up and down and then paused for a moment.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no one in this town who knows as much about it as I do, huh?”

He bowed to the old man and asked.

“Old man, if you know anything, please teach me. I will not regret the reward.”

Only then did the old man open his mouth.

“So what happened is… … .”

During the Cultural Revolution, excited village youths flocked to the stone mill.

To burn the books in the library.

The village youths took the books from the library and piled them in the yard, poured oil on them, and set them on fire.

But on that particular day, the wind blew really hard.

“The books were piled up like a mountain, the wind was blowing like crazy… … What happened? The fire spread to the bookcase. Starting with the bookcase, the stone bookcase was completely burned down.”

“The fire has spread, but I guess it wasn’t put out?”

“First of all, the books were definitely burning. The source of the fire was a pile of books, so how could you put it out? So you had no choice but to throw them out. We were all young at the time and didn’t know what was going on… … .”

“What are the people at Seokgyeongjang doing?”

“Before the fire spread to the inner quarters, they went to check and took out the valuables. They tried to steal them, and there was another uproar. We were all young at the time… … .”

The old man kept trying to cover up his past mistakes by saying, “I didn’t know when I was young.”

Yeonjeokha, who found that annoying, slyly picked on him.

“They say habits formed at the age of three last until the age of eighty. Even if you’re young, stealing is still stealing.”

The old man who won the game nodded.

“That is true.”

When he was cornered, the old man who had lost the game of chess quickly changed the subject.

“Give me an example.”

I paid the taxi fare and took out the change I had received, then asked again.

“Did the Yeons sell the heirloom before they left the village?”

“If you were me, would you sell your heirloom to the villagers who set fire to your house?”

“I guess it didn’t sell?”

“I guess so. I haven’t heard of any transactions involving Seokgyeongjang.”

“thank you.”

Only then did Yeonjeok hand over the banknotes he was holding to the old man.

For the first time, a smile appeared on the old man’s wrinkled, stern face.

I went back to the place where I got off in the taxi.

Perhaps because the sun had set, not a single bus or taxi was in sight.

After having dinner at a nearby restaurant, he called Jin Guowue.

“Vice President?”

-Oh, yeah. Did you look around Seokgyeongjang?

“It was in ruins, just as you said. You said that the Yeon clans of Seokgyeongjang went to Korea?”

– That’s right. Most likely it will be in Incheon.

“Okay, I got the card. I’ll use it with gratitude until I get a seat.”

-Thank you. Are you thinking of going to Korea? If so, I will send you a guide.

“A guide?”

―We may not be able to exert any influence here on the mainland, but we can fly overseas. It will definitely be helpful in finding the Yeons who immigrated to Korea.

“If that’s the case, I won’t decline.”

The corners of Yeonjeokha’s mouth went up.

Even though the road ahead is bleak, I am so grateful that you are offering to send me a guide.
