Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1516



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1516. Let’s go to our house.

After a while, this person’s portion of mala-tang and a bottle of dried pollack wine arrived.

Gu In-hoe, who had tried the spicy soup, nodded and said.

“It’s just okay. Please try it. It’s a Chinese dish that has been popular in Korea for about ten years. It’s now as popular as Jajangmyeon.”

“Jjajangmyeon?”

“Ah, it’s a noodle dish called jajangmyeon (炸醬麵) from the Shandong region of China. It was modified to suit the taste of Koreans, so it’s a different dish from jajangmyeon. You could say it’s the basics of a Chinese restaurant. If you make it well, it’s a great restaurant, but if you don’t make it well… … .”

Gu In-hoe, who was looking around, lowered his voice even though the chef was nowhere to be seen.

“… … It will end up like this, with flies flying around.”

“ah!”

Yeon-jeok nodded vigorously with a face of complete understanding.

No other customers came in until the two people had almost finished eating their mala-tang.

It was better not to have anyone to date.

When there are people around you, you can tell what they are saying.

Gu In-hoe, who was drinking dried pollack liquor with mala-tang as an accompaniment, suddenly spoke as if he had remembered something.

“But Mr. Yeon.”

“yes?”

“I thought there was a Yeon clan village near Wongasan. But I heard that the only people with the Yeon surname were Seokgyeongjang. There weren’t many Yeons. Perhaps ancestors from other places settled there?”

“Yes. At first, one of the brothers went in and lived there.”

Yeonjeokha nodded with a face full of mixed emotions.

Yeonmu Baek, the eldest brother who had no children, adopted Soyun as his adopted daughter, but they did not have any descendants after that.

It was a situation where the Yeon clan lineage could have been cut off, but fortunately, the second oldest brother, Yeon Seung-baek, gave birth to a son and the Yeon clan lineage was able to continue.

That Yeon Seung-baek’s son, Yeon Woo-geom, fled to Seokgyeongjang during the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty and inherited Seokgyeongjang, which is where it is today.

“If he was from another region, he would have been very jealous… … Your ancestors must have suffered a lot.”

“He was a famous warrior at the time, so he probably didn’t have any secrets.”

“Ah! So Seok Gyeong-jang was a famous martial artist?”

“It was a place where my ancestors lived in seclusion… … It wasn’t even a military camp.”

“So that ancestor’s family continued to live there?”

“Similar.”

He just smiled broadly and didn’t give a detailed explanation.

It’s a kind of line drawing.

The quick-witted recruiter quickly changed the subject.

“If it’s not too much trouble, may I ask what kind of relationship Mr. Yeon has with the Yeon people here?”

“As you can guess, they are distant relatives. Very distant.”

Even though we are the descendants of half-brothers, we have a very distant relationship, but it is strange that we feel a different kind of attraction to each other.

Perhaps it is because of the unforgettable memories of his half-brothers.

I took a sip of the sweet and sour liquor I was drinking.

He, who likes incense, frowned because it didn’t suit his taste.

As I was finishing half a bottle of Yeontae Goryangju, a middle-aged man who had been in the kitchen came out alone.

Since there are no more guests, they are just going to guard the hall.

A middle-aged man who was watching Yeonjeokha and Guinhoe’s conversation quietly approached them and spoke in Chinese.

“Are you from China?”

Yeonjeokha and Guinhoe were not particularly surprised because they knew that Yeonshi was Chinese.

The recruiter nodded.

“Yes. Are you Chinese too?”

“I moved to Korea when I was young, so now I’m completely Korean. Haha!”

“You left when you were young, but you still speak Chinese well?”

“My parents spoke Chinese. It also helped with business. If you say that it is an authentic Chinese restaurant run by Chinese people, more customers will come.”

“Aha, where are you from? I’m from Shanghai.”

The recruiter asked on behalf of Yeonjeokha.

Even though it has a sign that says Seokgyeongjang, you still don’t know what people are doing.

“I came from Hapbi.”

“I see.”

Gu In-hoe, who had been nodding, glanced at Yeon Jeok-ha.

“Where did Mr. Yeon say his hometown is?”

“I’m from Luoyang. To be exact, I was born in Unsa.”

The middle-aged man spoke with a startled expression on his face at Yeonjeokha’s words.

“Did you say Unsa? I heard you were called Mr. Yeon. Do you happen to use the surname Yeon?”

“Yes, I was born in the Yeon clan village of Unsa.”

“Ouch! This can’t be happening!”

The middle-aged man, Yeon Jeong-un, was acting like he had been struck by lightning.

The recruiting company pretended not to know and followed suit.

“Boss, why are you so surprised all of a sudden?”

Instead of answering, Yeon Jeong-un asked the young man again and again.

“What character do you use for your surname?”

“I am from the Yeon Pond. My ancestors are from Goguryeo. What Yeon clan are you from?”

“Wow! What a coincidence! I also use the character for pond lotus. My 7th or 8th great-grandfather was born in Unsa. My ancestors settled in Heopi and lived there… …. They came to Korea during my father’s generation. It turns out they were distant relatives. I’m really happy to meet you.”

Yeon Jeong-un’s face turned red with excitement.

It was only natural that I met a relative I had only seen in a family tree in a faraway land like Korea.

Yeon Jeong-un, who found out that Yeon Jeok-ha was a distant relative, sat down in his seat.

The experienced recruiter watched the two people and played the role of gently connecting the conversation whenever it became lost.

Thanks to his efforts, Yeonjeokha and Yeonjeongun quickly became close.

Their titles also changed.

Yeonjeok called Yeonjeok-ha his uncle, and Yeonjeok-ha called Yeonjeok-ha his nephew.

“But why did you come to Korea? For tourism? Or for business?”

At Yeon Jeong-woon’s question, Gu In-hoe also looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with a curious expression.

“First of all, I came for tourism.”

“Tourism is good. Korea is one of the safest places in the world, so it’s a good place to visit.”

He didn’t ask for any further details.

That’s because we’re not close enough to dig into each other’s personal lives yet.

At 8 o’clock in the evening, Yeon Jeong-un got up from her seat, saying she had to finish up.

Gu In-hoe went to the counter to pay for the food, but Yeon Jeong-woon refused to accept it.

But the recruitment committee forcibly finished the calculation.

From his point of view, it is natural that he has to look good to his relatives.

Yeon Jeong-woon, who reluctantly received the money for the food, asked Yeon Jeok-ha.

“Have you decided on a place to stay?”

“Not yet. I guess I should start looking into it now.”

“No, you didn’t even make a reservation? Who goes abroad these days without making a reservation for accommodation?”

“Haha, I’m still not used to it.”

Gu In-hoe quickly intervened in Yeon-jeok-ha’s excuse.

“Mr. Yeon, I will take care of the accommodation problem.”

“Did you say you were the old manager? I will take responsibility for the accommodations. My nephew came to my uncle’s house, so I can’t just send him away. Let’s go to my house, Jeokhaya.”

For a moment, Yeonjeokha’s eyes sparkled.

You can enter Yeonjeongun’s house without using any special numbers?

It seemed like heaven was helping.

But, without knowing that, the recruitment committee intervened and ruined what was already done.

“No. I will take you to the best hotel.”

Yeon Jeong-woon looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with an embarrassed expression at the mention of a luxury hotel.

I spoke in a hurry, worried that my uncle might change his mind.

“I’m going to my uncle’s house. I want to see my family too.”

At his words, the corners of Yeon Jeong-un’s mouth went up.

I felt my shoulders tense up for no reason when I decided to go to my uncle’s house instead of a fancy hotel.

“Yes, your aunt and Seoyeon will be happy to see you. Now that I think about it, Seoyeon is your age. Seoyeon is twenty-six. How old are you?”

“I’m twenty-five.”

“You’re my younger sister. Seoyeon graduated from college and is looking for a job. I think you and I will be able to communicate well.”

Yeonjeok smiled awkwardly at Yeonjeok’s words.

I don’t know if I, who didn’t even finish elementary school, can be a good conversation partner for my sister who graduated from college.

I said goodbye to Gu In-hoe, who was in a relationship with me in front of the stone statue.

The recruiter greeted him politely as if he were his superior and then turned around and left.

As the recruitment meeting disappeared, Yeon Jeong-woon asked quietly.

“What does that person do?”

“I don’t know either. There was a businessman I met by chance in Sipyonsi, and he sent me there as a guide when I told him I was going to Korea.”

“You’re saying that the businessman from the 10-word poem sent you?”

“yes.”

“I guess you’re a businessman running a multinational company.”

“They distribute liquor in Shipunsi.”

“As expected! It must be a company that exports Chinese liquor. What was the name of the company?”

“It’s Hongryeon Store.”

“Oh, that’s old-fashioned. Anyway, that’s just how Chinese people name things. There are so many good names like Yakamozu, Margarita, Oposvar, etc.”

“Why? I like it because it sticks to my mouth.”

“That’s because you’re Chinese. If you say Hongryeon Sanghoe in Korea, people would think it’s the name of a hole-in-the-wall store.”

“Actually, it’s only about the size of a supermarket.”

“It doesn’t seem to be a very large company. Okay, then. Let’s go.”

Yeon Jeong-woon, who had locked the store door, began to walk ahead with brisk strides.

***

Yeon Jeong-un’s house was in a residential area about a twenty-minute walk from the store.

Yeon Jeong-un entered the small, cozy two-story Western-style house and called her family into the living room.

There was no fuss because I had already explained the situation over the phone while walking.

His wife, eldest daughter, and middle school son, who was much older than him, glanced curiously at the unfamiliar guest standing next to his father.

“This friend’s name is Yeonjeokha. He’s a real cousin from the Yeon clan village of Unsa, so everyone should treat him well. He’s twenty-five years old. Seoyeon is one year older, so treat her like a younger sibling, and Siwoo can call him hyung.”

Yeon Jeong-woon, who had finished his introduction in Korean, winked at Yeon Jeok-ha.

Yeonjeokha bowed her head and greeted in Chinese.

“I am in love with you. Please take good care of me.”

Yeon Si-woo, a middle school student, opened his eyes wide and shouted.

“Wow! This is real Chinese. This is awesome!”

Yeon Jeong-woon spoke in Chinese to Yeon Jeok-ha, who was bewildered by the sudden Korean speaking.

“By the way, my kids don’t speak Chinese. Do they speak English by any chance?”

“Not at all.”

“Haha, then there’s nothing you can do. Try to learn Korean at least while you’re in Korea. This is a world where people come to study in Korea just to learn Korean.”

“yes.”

After that, there was a conversation between Yeon Jeong-un’s family and Yeon Jeok-ha.

In Yeon Jeong-un’s house, the only person who could speak Chinese was Yeon Jeong-un.

After seeing Yeon Jeong-un struggling as an interpreter, I decided to learn Korean.

As the conversation cooled down, Yeon Jeong-un and his wife took Yeon Jeok-ha up to this floor.

“This is the room my second son used when he enlisted last winter. Please change into comfortable clothes in the closet.”

“yes.”

Soon after, when Yeon Jeong-un and his wife left, Yeon-jeok sat down on the bed.

My second son also went to college and then joined the military, so his bookshelf was full of books.

Suddenly, the thought occurred to me, ‘My second brother and his descendants are blessed with many children.’

Just looking at Yeonjeongun, he has two sons and one daughter.

His eldest brother, Yeonmu Baek, had an adopted daughter, and he himself only had one daughter.

But the descendants of my second eldest brother, who had lost an arm and acted as if his life was ruined, have continued to remember their ancestors for generations. It is a strange way of heaven.

‘Anyway, what do we do now?’

Luckily, I found the Seokgyeongjang as soon as I arrived in Korea, and it even brought me to my descendants’ house.

The moment I entered this house, I could feel a faint sense of power.

It must be the power of the Nine Heavenly Women’s Sutra.

The question is whether to steal the Nine Heavenly Women’s Sutra like a thief or to obtain it legitimately.

Stealing was not a big deal, but it was something I could not bear to do to descendants who remembered their ancestors.

‘Let’s not rush.’

If you hang out with Yeon Jeong-un, there will come a day when you will see the Nine Heavenly Women’s Mirror.
