Chapter 525 -  Good for relieving fatigue

Despite Gong Ji-seop's dissuade, he did not change his mind.

“You can avoid it. Wouldn't Worak Mountain be as big as the palm of your hand? Did you hear that there are spirits and divine beasts in the Cheonguan Mountains? It's just as dangerous.”

“Compared to Yeondaehyeop and Cheongwan Mountains, Woraksan Mountain is like a back garden. You should not compare the gods of the Cheongwan Mountains with the monsters of the Woraksan Mountains.”

“I know about that. How would you compare a monster to a divine beast?”

Gong Ji-seop frowned at Yeon Jeok-ha's words.

You said that the mountains were dangerous because of their different scales, but why did you take it wrong?

“Are you really okay?”

"are you okay. If you don't feel like it, you can just run away.”

“Oh, but there are two companions too.”

“Let’s run with one person on each side.”

In an instant, an awkward smile appeared on Gong Ji-seop's face.

Running away with two adults at your side? If you can avoid it that easily, it's not a monster.

“Yeondaehyeop, even if it is a bit far, wouldn’t it be better to go to the Cheongwan Mountain Range?”

“How far is it to Worak Mountain?”

“It is a distance that can be reached in three days on horseback.”

It's three days.

Yeonjeokha nodded his head vigorously.

“I’ll go to Worak Mountain.”

“… … .”

Gong Ji-seop had nothing to say at his firm attitude.

Even though he knows it is dangerous, he insists on Mt. Worak.

‘He looks like a man and is soft… … .’

For the first time, Gong Ji-seop thought, 'Unlike the appearance, Yeonjeokha might be rough'.

“So, when do you want to start?”

“There is no need to waste time just because the horns are sweet. I'm leaving today, so get ready.”

“Today?”

Gong Ji-seop widened his eyes.

To decide such an important matter as easily as if you were going to drink it as soon as it was said!

This is the first time anyone has progressed so quickly.

It's normal to make a plan for three or three days before moving, but it's too fast.

Am I the kind of person who just pushes with his body without thinking?

“It will be a great kite, a long trip. If you prepare this and that, three or three days... … .”

“Hey, I have something to prepare. You just need dry weight. really! Is there a carriage to the place where Woraksan is? I heard of carriages going from city to city before.”

“There is a wagon going to Gonghwahyeon, but Woraksan Mountain is a long way from there. So he used to use horses from the start.”

“Say, can I borrow it from Hyeoncheonmun?”

“It won't be difficult. There are about 20 words managed in the text.”

“Then, give me three horses and a day’s worth of dry matter. You can find the rest as you go.”

“Yeah… … .”

"yes?"

“Oh, no.”

Gong Ji-seop was about to ask, ‘Do you have any money?’ but just evaded it.

Because he knew he had no money left.

“And the expenses to and from.”

"yes."

Gong Ji-seop stared at Yeon Jeok-ha.

The money story finally came out.

How is he going to solve the expense problem?

“Who was it? What did you say... … .”

“Are you beneficial?”

"Oh right. Lee Yoo-hyeon. You mean to take that person with you so that he can dig ‘Yeongji Seoncho’, right?”

"That's right."

“I will protect that person, so ask him to pay security at Hyeoncheonmun instead. Well, it doesn't cost much because it's two more spoons.”

“Yes, it is.”

Gong Ji-seop agreed with Yeon Jeok-ha's words, but at the same time thought he was shameless.

Until now, he had been docile like a bridesmaid, but he suddenly pushes one-sidedly.

Wouldn't it be ok if he behaved like other sect disciples from the beginning?

When someone who wasn't like that suddenly changes, I'm confused on the other hand.

“Certainly, Munju-nim wouldn’t even try to entrust the burden to me, who has no money. A person with such a conscience should not be in a high position. Let me know when you are ready to depart. He will be waiting for you in the inn.”

"yes? yes!"

Gong Ji-seop's spirits flashed.

He was heard threatening to overturn Hyuncheon Gate if he was not put on guard.

It's not a request that goes against the occasion, but that's why you're even mentioning the position of Moonju.

A sigh flowed from Gong Ji-seop's mouth as he watched the Yeonjeok-ha go away.

He had been thought of as a person who helped out for nothing in return, but he wasn't.

In retrospect, it was all too much.

Didn't he wipe his mouth thoroughly after obtaining 'the thousand-year-old Hwaryeong Jeokji' as well as the 'longevity immortal bear's gallbladder'?

It's late, but I think I should give Yeon Jeok-ha some of the money I earned on the black market.

'I sold it for 50 gold coins. How much should I pay?'

Gong Ji-seob, who was worried, shook his head.

It seems that this matter will have to be discussed separately with his members.

The preparations for the trip went smoothly.

There was no one to talk about the work Yeonjeokha was promoting by mentioning the qualities of Munju.

In particular, So Chun-wu, the party involved, prepared for the trip himself, fearing that this would go unnoticed by Yeon Jeok-ha.

Gong Ji-seop came running to Yeon Jeok-ha as he left the inn to have lunch.

“Yeah, kite grand bargain!”

"yes?"

“The preparations are complete. You can leave at any time.”

“Oops! Is it over soon?”

He made a surprised face, completely forgetting that he had pushed him close to threatening.

“It happened because the Lord Moon took care of it himself.”

“Aigo thank you. You should have made people do it, but why did you go so far?”

A bitter smile spread across Gong Ji-seop's lips.

Don't be fooled by such naive greetings.

‘The person who was threatening Moon-ju a while ago said such nonsense… … .’

He asked cautiously, shaking his body.

“What would you like to do? I think you'd better go after lunch... … .”

Gong Ji-seop was cautious about telling him to eat now.

“I have to eat anyway, so I eat and go. By the way, how did the expense problem get sorted out?”

Gong Ji-seop replied as if he had been waiting.

“From now on, all expenses will be paid by Lee Yoo-hyeon. If Yeondaehyeop wants to manage the funds, we can do that.”

"no. to what bothers you. I will just dig ‘Yeongji Seoncho’.”

“It would be better.”

Gong Ji-seop let out a sigh of relief.

If the younger brother is in charge of managing the money, that's a headache.

This is because it is painful for him to ask where he spent how much and how much money he had left.

When Yeon Jeok-ha finished lunch, Gong Ji-seop brought the two of them.

Gong Ji-yu and Lee Yoo-hyeon.

Unlike Lee Yoo-hyeon, who wore a simple outfit, Gong Ji-yu wore fancy clothes wherever she went out.

Even with light makeup, her lips were red and she smelled like powder.

When Yeon Jeok-ha sniffed involuntarily, Gong Ji-yu said with his face blushing.

“I had to go out.”

"Ah yes."

After lightly nodding his head, he met eyes with the two of them.

“You’ve heard of it, but I’m going to Woraksan Mountain. I heard that there is a monster called ‘one-eyed demon’, so be alert. Shall we start soon?"

After a short introduction, Yeon Jeok-ha strode out.

Gong Ji-yu glanced at Gong Ji-seop.

I was expecting encouragement such as ‘don’t worry, I will protect you’, but he told me to stay alert.

Gong Ji-seop shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know and turned around.

Lee Yoo-hyeon approached Gong Ji-yu and whispered.

“Sister, is it okay if we just leave like this?”

“Then what else can you do?”

Gong Ji-yu followed the younger brother with a casual face.

But following him is only to the front door.

After getting on his horse, Gong Ji-yu ran shoulder to shoulder with Yeon Je-ha.

This is because no one but her knows the way to Worak Mountain.

around dusk.

Gong Ji-yu, passing in front of the shrine, suddenly pulled the reins.

hee hee hee!

The horse, which had stopped hastily, made a nervous tone.

Yeonjeokha, who had just passed by, returned and asked.

"what?"

“There is nowhere to rest. I remember passing by this place one day and regretting it.”

“Ah, then you should rest.”

The couple obediently got off the horse and walked to the shrine.

“What building is this? It doesn't look like people live there.”

“It is a shrine dedicated to the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ among the Eight Kings.”

Yeonjeokha, who recalled the Buddhist ‘Four Heavenly Kings’, shook her head.

“I guess there are ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ here too?”

“Whoops! Are you kidding? Is there anyone in Kuju who doesn’t know the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’?”

Just in case, Yeon Jeok-ha asked with a confident face.

“Heaven of Jiguk, Heaven of Gwangmok, Heaven of Jeungjang, King of Damun?”

Notice Yu blinked her eyes.

“Is there such a king?”

As expected.

Yeonjeokha scratched the back of his head with a blushing face.

“I was just saying something.”

Gong Ji-yu thought that Yeonjeok-ha might not know, so she explained her explanation.

“It is a shrine that enshrines one of the heavenly kings, Gobeomcheonwang, Gongheocheonwang, Bukmyeongcheonwang, and Gwangyokcheonwang.”

“Can you tell just by looking at the building?”

Lee Yoo-hyun, who followed Yeon Jeok-ha’s question, answered.

“The four beasts carved on the door of the shrine symbolize the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’. You have to go in to find out who they are.”

"Oh yeah?"

I talked to the 19-year-old Lee Yoo-hyeon, whom I had a relationship with.

However, Gong Ji-yu is one year older, but she is a woman, so she did not readily speak plain language.

The three of them led the horse to the inner yard of the shrine.

Don't you know if there's someone who specifically restrains you?

There is no one to manage it, so there is no reason to build it outside the shrine.

Gong Ji-yu approached the building in front of her and opened the door vigorously.

“Excuse me! oh. He was the king of lust.”

Out of curiosity, Yeon Jeok-ha looked over Gong Ji-yu's shoulder and looked inside the hall.

Four naked women sat or stood at the feet of her great winged man.

Seeing the image of a naked man and woman, the couple turned around with a confused face.

However, Gong Ji-yu and Lee Yoo-hyeon strode in with nonchalant faces.

The two burned incense in a familiar motion.

After that, Gong Ji-yu, who carefully finished her bow, turned her gaze outside the hall.

“Yeondaehyeop, come in. today Let's rest here."

“Can I just sleep in the shrine?”

“The other ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ can’t do that. The shrine of the King of Luminosity is fine. Rather, it's a place made to take a break and go.”

“Are you making me go to rest?”

Yeonjeokha tilted his head and stepped inside.

indeed!

As she said, there were traces of dragonflies all over the inside of the hall.

Even the uncollected blankets were visible.

“Is this a strange shrine?”

“Ah, it must be the first time you see it. The original Luminous Heavenly King... … .”

As Gong Ji-yu explained, Yoo-hyeon Lee, who had finished bowing, quietly went outside and said,

“Have a minute to talk. I will look around to see if there is firewood around and come back.”

When Lee Yoo-hyeon left, Gong Ji-yu continued her explanation.

“Gwangyokcheonwang is not only one of the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’, but also a male god related to fertility. Originally, he is a god who reveals color, but he came to believe that he is also helpful in that way.”

“Paint?”

It is point-and-shoot.

What kind of God is there in the world!

It seemed like a made-up story, but the serious look on her face made it seem like it was true.

suddenly feel sluggish

The faint scent that reached the tip of her nose was somehow unusual.

“Isn’t the smell of incense a bit strange?”

“Ah, the incense used in the shrine of the King of Luminosity has, to put it mildly, the effect of making the mind and body drowsy. So, it is also good for recovering from fatigue.”

It smells just like a single scent, but is it good for recovering from fatigue?
