Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1522
Only Noblemtl
1522nd. A blessing granted only to mortals.
If you add 600 million won to the 200 million won deposit, you have a whopping 800 million won in cash.
Kim Mi-ran was dizzy at the thought of such a huge sum of money.
I thought that someone with a weak heart might really die.
She tried to suppress her excitement, but the corners of her mouth kept turning up.
Yeon Jeong-woon said to Kim Mi-ran, who was laughing like a crazy person.
“Don’t tell anyone I’m selling the heirloom.”
“why?”
“Don’t you know that money is the root of all evil? This is a world where children kill their parents for an inheritance.”
“No matter what, there’s no way our kids would do that.”
“That’s what they say. Anyway, it can’t hurt to be careful. It’s not like we’re the only ones living in this house.”
Of course, that’s just an excuse.
In fact, he didn’t want to tell his family about what happened with the recruiting manager.
That’s what Manager Koo wanted, but he was embarrassed to see his wife and children.
As a result, his pride was hurt because he ended up selling his family heirloom to his distant nephew.
Kim Mi-ran nodded with a serious expression, unaware of her husband’s speed.
“Okay. I won’t tell anyone. You shouldn’t even think about drinking alcohol for a while. Your mouth will feel light once you drink.”
“Oh, what do you see in people?”
“I’m worried because you say all sorts of things when you drink.”
“Okay, I won’t drink until the enemy leaves my house. Okay?”
So Yeon Jeong-un kept a secret out of pride and even promised to abstain from drinking.
That evening.
For the first time in a while, Yeonjeongwoon’s family and Yeonjeokha got to eat dinner together.
Yeon Jeong-un revealed what happened with the Hong Kong investment company on the spot.
Yeonjeok smiled brightly, and Yeonseoyeon jumped for joy.
“Dad, can I take my time looking for a job?”
“When did you find out in a hurry?”
“I was thinking about whether I should go to a small or medium-sized company because I was concerned about the situation.”
“What about small and medium-sized businesses?”
“Of course it’s better to go to a large company.”
“Really? If you’re going to do it, it would be better to go to Seoul National University, but you didn’t get into Seoul National University.”
“Anyway, I won’t rush.”
When the topic of college came up, Yeon Seo-yeon quickly concluded her speech.
Kim Mi-ran, who had been smiling brightly, couldn’t hold it back and said something.
“We decided to change our car.”
“With what?”
“Titan.”
The Titan is a fifth-generation autonomous vehicle manufactured by Kima Automobile. Its design lacks originality, typical of Korean cars, but it has a reputation for being sturdy.
“Wow! We’re finally getting a fully autonomous car at home? Awesome!”
Yeonseoyeon liked it like a child.
That’s because fifth-generation autonomous cars drive better than humans.
Since the advent of fifth-generation autonomous vehicles, people with money no longer have to worry about the stress of driving.
The meal ended in a friendly atmosphere.
Yeonjeok, who returned to her room, was satisfied with what Yeonjeongun’s family liked.
It was a bit awkward to receive investment from the Triad, but it didn’t matter because I could control it.
‘Is it now all that’s left to do is meet Gucheonhyeonnyeo?’
It’s not that difficult since the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong is in the same house.
When I thought of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, all the emotions I had tried to suppress came rushing back to me.
Yeonjeok, who had been tossing and turning with a heavy heart, finally fell asleep at midnight.
In a dream I had for the first time in a long while, I saw a strange scene of a lover.
Yeon Jeong-un was handing something nicely packaged to Manager Gu In-hoe.
Looking at its size and appearance, how does it resemble the Nine Heavenly Kings?
The atmosphere was like Yeon Jeong-un selling Gucheonhyeonnyeo-gyeong to Gu In-hoe.
‘That guy! Sell him to me… … .’
I gritted my teeth in a dream where my anger was building up.
It was obvious that the transaction was being carried out without his knowledge.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have let that deal happen.
Yeon-jeok, who had been grumbling as if unable to control his anger, opened his eyes wide.
As expected, it was a dream.
He soon understood what had happened to him.
When a serious problem occurred, the six supernatural powers were manifested without one’s knowledge.
‘Anyway, all Yeons are like that.’
There was no need to blame Yeon Jeong-un.
Wasn’t Yeon Jeong-un already thinking of selling the heirloom for 30 million won?
However, what I cannot understand is the head of the recruitment committee.
At this point, why did he buy a bronze mirror that he didn’t need?
‘It didn’t seem like you were particularly into collecting antiques.’
If that were the case, this story should have come out a long time ago.
But he never showed any interest in old things.
“It doesn’t matter.”
I already knew what Yeon Jeong-un thought of Gu Cheon-hyeon-nyeo-gyeong.
He didn’t attach much significance to heirlooms.
It was also true that the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong was only useful to true Taoist priests and was nothing more than an antique to ordinary people.
It was like that in the past, so what can we say about it in this highly developed modern era?
However, I have no intention of taking back the Nine Heavenly Women’s Sutra from Yeon Jeong-un.
Is it okay to steal while living in your descendants’ house?
It would be better to leave the future of the Nine Heavenly Women’s Sutra to the Nine Heavenly Women’s Sutra.
‘It’s like a kite reaching the lotus seed.’
Yeonjeok, who had gathered her thoughts, quietly got up from her seat.
He appeared in front of the room where the relics were stored like a ghost of a lover.
The door was locked, but I turned the inner doorknob with a hammer and it opened.
It’s times like these where I’m just thankful I don’t have to use a lock.
He went into the room and closed the door again.
The Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong was wrapped in silk, as if it was prepared for sale.
Yeonjeok, who approached the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong, carefully removed the silk.
As expected, it is the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong.
Yeonjeokha’s expression as he looked at Gucheonhyeonnyeo-gyeong was complicated.
Namgung Yeon chose to become a monk because he did not want to show himself aging.
As the previous life of Gucheonhyeonnyeo, it would not have been difficult for her to shed her shell.
He was deeply hurt by her choice.
The lifespan of a god is incomparably longer than that of a human.
Compared to the lifespan of a god, human life is fleeting.
There is no immortal who would be obsessed with a fleeting relationship.
It may be touching at first, but it will eventually disappear without a trace over time.
What’s next?
Just imagining Namgung Yeon meeting another Namseon was painful.
It took a long time to get over those feelings.
I barely managed to pull myself together, but it is said that the Nine Heavenly Women risked their lives for me.
Why did Gucheonhyeonnyeo do that?
The reason I came back from the fourth heaven was to meet the Nine Heavenly Women.
I wanted to ask Gucheonhyeonnyeo.
Why did you help me when you knew it would be a thousand years of danger?
What did Namgung Yeon’s life mean to you?
‘And I… … .’
Even I, who had thought that far, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
Someone might say this.
What’s the use of that now?
Wasn’t that something that happened 390 years ago?
That it was just a distant past that no one remembers.
But not himself.
Everything seemed vivid as if it happened yesterday.
The sadness I felt when I built a family tomb for the deceased Namgung Yeon and saw his daughter’s new grave next to it still weighs on my heart.
Soon his hand reached the Nine Heavenly Women Sutra.
At that moment, a ‘tsk!’ sound of ice cracking was heard from the Gocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong.
Soon after, the rust covering the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong quickly melted away.
It didn’t take long for a mirror-smooth surface to emerge.
The surface of the Gocheonhyeonnyeo-gyeong, as clear as a lake, sparkled in the moonlight.
Then suddenly Yeonjeokha’s mouth opened.
“Your Highness the Nine Heavenly Kings.”
As if responding to his call, clouds rose up over the sparkling Nine Heavenly Kingdoms.
The clouds that filled the Nine Heavenly Princesses soon flowed out.
Clouds covered the floor.
Soon, as if by magic, the walls on all sides disappeared and a vast expanse of fog came into view.
It feels like I’m floating in the sky.
Someone slowly approached from beyond the clouds.
She was a beautiful woman who looked exactly like Namgung Yeon.
But unlike when I saw it before, it didn’t feel lively.
I guess that’s why he said he used all his magical powers.
“Miss Gucheonhyeon?”
“Yes. We finally met through fate.”
“I heard that you used up all your magical powers to send me to the fourth heaven.”
“That’s right.”
“Have you received a thousand kalpas?”
“If you go against the laws of heaven, even immortals cannot avoid it for a thousand kalpas.”
It was said that he had been punished for a thousand years.
Yeonjeokha’s face was distorted.
It wasn’t because my energy was exhausted that I didn’t feel any energy!
“Why! Why did you do that!”
“Because I desperately wanted it.”
“Since when have you been so good at giving me what I want?”
“From the day I first met you.”
Then Yeonjeokha, who was upset, screamed.
“But why did you leave me? That’s not what I wanted!”
“Did you wish for Namgung Yeon to grow old and die by your side? Just like your daughter did?”
“… … .”
The lover remained silent.
He honestly couldn’t understand why Namgung Yeon chose to become a Taoist or why his daughter died of old age.
“Namgung Yeon chose to shed his shell because he wanted to show you only his good side. The reason your daughter Yeon Ji-an refused to attain enlightenment is… … because the spirit of the demon Menua wanted death.”
“I… … . I… … .”
There was a lot I wanted to say, but I couldn’t really say anything.
It’s not that I don’t know.
embrace.
That was what Namgung Yeon said when he said he would attain enlightenment.
He also knows that all his suffering comes from his own selfishness.
But I can’t erase Namgung Yeon from my heart, so it’s just painful.
I have to spend the rest of my long life in this pain… … .
Then suddenly he realized that he was missing something.
Yeonjeokha, who raised her head, asked Gucheonhyeonnyeo.
“What was Namgung Yeon’s life to Lady Gucheonhyeon? Was it just one of countless previous lives?”
The gods came into human life with the purpose of saving humans.
But if you look at it another way, for the gods, their previous life was like a game.
In fact, there were quite a few immortals who wandered around the summer world for that purpose.
After thinking for a moment, Gucheonhyeonnyeo answered.
“I don’t know how I, living in a different time, would have accepted it… … but to me, it was a life that was more precious than anything else.”
Actually, that was a stupid question.
He poured all his magical power into helping Yeonjeokha, and even risked a thousand eons of danger.
“Then what about me? What kind of person am I to Lady Gucheonhyeon?”
Then the Nine Heavenly Women asked back.
“What is Namgung Yeon to you?”
“You are my everything, past, present and future.”
For a moment, a smile appeared on Gucheonhyeonnyeo’s face.
But the smile disappeared so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.
Yeonjeokha spoke again as if she absolutely had to hear it.
“Please answer my question too.”
“Just like Namgung Yeon’s life, you too are more precious than anything else.”
“… … .”
It was the answer he had been hoping for, but Yeon-jeok just lowered his head.
What would you do if you were precious to Gucheonhyeonnyeo?
No, rather, seeing Gucheonhyeonnyeo with Namgungyeon’s memories only made my heart feel more suffocated.
Then, the voice of the Nine Heavenly Women came into his ears.
“Eternal love is a blessing granted only to mortals. Do you want it?”
