Chapter 530 - You said you risked your life
next day.
Gong Ji-yu woke up early in the morning and saw the place where the people of Geumdanmun were staying.
When she went, it was empty.
Even if it is not, the large campground feels emptier.
Lee Yoo-hyeon said to her, who was looking at the seat of her forbidden door.
“I went in the morning.”
“When is morning?”
“They left before sunrise. I woke up for a while because I needed to pee.”
“You are diligent.”
Then she said a word to Yeonjeokha.
“I also heard it at dawn, but it seemed like they were conscious of us.”
“Are they conscious of us?”
Gong Ji-yu looked at her sister-in-law with her puzzled face.
Only three people came to that dangerous mountain, Woraksan, but what was there to be aware of?
“Are they supposed to produce results before us?”
“Oh, you don’t have to.”
Gong Ji-yu was pitiful.
Wouldn't it be better if it was a somewhat safe situation like before?
Today's Worak Mountain requires thinking ten times and moving once.
No, even if you move carefully enough, you cannot guarantee safety.
But why are you in such a hurry?
It's not that I don't know Dong Bang-yu's feelings, but I didn't feel good for some reason.
After having a hearty breakfast, Yeon Jeok-ha and his party entered Woraksan Mountain cautiously.
"ha!"
A shotgun trick flowed from the mouth of the Yeonjeokha.
She said that if you go hiking three or four times, you will find it once.
Throughout the morning, she wandered around the outer peaks of Mt.
At first, she thought that 'Il-Yeop Seon-Cho' would be good, but that was too much.
Gong Ji-yu, who was looking around with her hawk eyes, smiled.
“Isn't it easy? Since this is your first hike, it will feel more difficult.”
“I did a lot of hiking,” I muttered in my heart.
In general, if 'hiking' means 'going to the mountain', in green forest it means 'looting in the mountains'. If it was such a 'walking', I was tired of it.
Yeonjeokha, who was thinking about wild vegetables in the green forest, asked.
“Are there bandits in Kuju?”
“Yes.”
“Is there a union of bandits?”
“There is no such thing. You can't just run around in groups in the first place. If it becomes a big problem, subdue it in a nearby clan. There is nowhere to hide, so there is no time to grow.”
"ah!"
I figured it out at once.
In the case of Kang-ho, when the government forces subjugate him, he hides in a deep mountain to avoid anger. However, they couldn't do that here because of the beast, so they would be helpless in front of the subjugation.
Yeonjeokha, who had been nodding his head, suddenly stopped the group from moving.
“Stop.”
Gong Ji-yu and Lee Yoo-hyeon shrank at his instructions and did not even breathe.
Yeonjeokha, who expanded his senses and checked his surroundings two or three times, said quietly.
“I guess I was overexcited. There was a feeling that something was approaching me from outside three hundred fields (about 900 meters). That's not right.”
Gong Ji-yu and Lee Yoo-hyeon sighed in relief and moved slowly again.
Lunch was dry.
Cooking takes a long time, but the smell can attract a dog-eyed demon.
I crossed several mountains until dusk, but I couldn't find a single herb, let alone a sage plant in Yeongji.
Yeonjeokha, who was squatting and resting in the open space between the corpses, murmured.
“It’s difficult, it’s difficult. Herbalists have a much better advantage than unmanned people when it comes to digging Yeongji’s ancestors, right?”
Then Lee Yoo-hyeon smiled and accepted the words.
“It's not necessarily like that. Herbalists can't even enter a mountain full of aura. If you meet a ‘vegetable level’ beast, you will be killed.”
"ah. There is a beast.”
Yeonjeokha shook his head.
I keep forgetting even though I'm so careful because of the beast.
Gong Ji-yu, who was listening, gave a supplementary explanation.
“It's true that herbalists have an advantage, but if they enter a mountain like Woraksan, they won't last more than a day. So there is a separate mountain that herbalists go to.”
"that's right. The mountains they go to are called ‘Jabsan’. 'Miscellaneous' has a weak aura, so even beasts don't like it. Of course, Yeongji Seoncho is rarely found in ‘Japsan’, but it is as rare as being struck by lightning while walking on the road.”
Lee Yoo-hyeon, whose dream was to become an herbalist, was knowledgeable about that.
It was around dusk, so no one urged me to get up.
Gong Ji-yu sneakily looked at Yeonjeok-ha.
“Yeondaehyeop, shall we go back to camp? or not… … .”
Until now, he had been avoiding ‘vegetable level’ beasts with his intuition.
But he couldn't let him watch the surroundings until he went to bed.
Yeonjeokha had the same thoughts.
“Go to camp. There are too many beasts here. There must be nocturnal beasts, but I think it would be dangerous.”
It's not a big deal for a 'vegetable level' beast, but I was worried about a one-eyed demon somewhere.
In the end, Yeon Jeok-ha and his party decided to descend.
It didn't take too long to get to the campsite anyway, as it only hovered at the beginning of the outer music.
Even so, it was already midnight when they reached the camp.
Lee Yoo-hyun, who saw the light from a distance, said.
“Sister, it seems that the people of Geumdanmun have returned.”
"I know. They left earlier than we did and came back sooner.”
Lee Yoo-hyeon lit a fire and walked the pot.
Around the time the water started to boil, a corner of a disciple of Geumdanmun approached slowly.
“How, do you have some income?”
Gukjeong-jeong looked at the faces of Yeon Jeok-ha and his party as if searching.
Lee Yoo-hyeon, who was about to put ingredients into the pot, paused for a moment and replied.
“I am still empty-handed. What about the forbidden sentence?”
“We caught two ‘beginner’ beasts. I brought one of them and baked it. Seeing that you're cooking porridge again, it seems that you haven't even caught a beast? Are you lucky? Is it bad?”
Gookjeong made an ambiguous face.
You're lucky if you just didn't meet the beast.
However, it's a bit disappointing to have to eat porridge because hunting failed in this deep mountain.
In place of Lee Yoo-hyeon, who had to focus on cooking, Gong Ji-yu slipped in.
“We didn’t hunt because we were afraid we would get on the one-eyed demon nerves. Because of that, Yeon Daehyeop suffered.”
Gookjeong glanced at Yeonjeokha.
It is also his 'Great Negotiation'.
I want to check the inaction, but I'm a bit reluctant to say that the present astronomicalists are a 'big deal'.
'I don't think he's a great guy... … .’
The problem is that he is an honored guest at Hyeoncheonmun.
'Are you the one recruited to gather ancestral plants in Yeongji?'
For an instant, he felt his head clear and his doubts cleared.
indeed! If so, he deserved to be heard saying that he was an honored guest.
"Sojeo, there's some meat left. If you want, I'll give it to you."
"are you okay. You can't just get and eat the beast you risked your life for at the forbidden gate.”
Even so, Gong Ji-yu sent a warning to the forbidden door.
We're not even touching wild animals, so be careful there.
“I can’t help it if I don’t like it.”
Gokokjeong thought Hyeoncheonmun was refusing because of face, so he didn't recommend it anymore.
After wandering around the bonfire, he returned to his seat at the forbidden gate when no one spoke to him.
When the corner came, Dongbangyu asked.
“Did you get anything?”
“It’s bullshit.”
"I see. Hey, Yeongji Seoncho is not something that can be easily obtained.”
“A young man who wants to be killed.”
"huh? Why is he?”
"I don't even know if he's well versed in herbalism."
“That’s natural. Would Hyeoncheonmun send disciples to ordinary people?”
As the master took it for granted, Gookjeong scratched his head.
Certainly, experience and age are different no matter what.
Unlike himself, who only realized it now, the teacher seems to have known it before.
Jung Il-do laughed and intervened.
“Priest, didn’t you actually snoop around because you were interested in Sojeo Hyeon Tian-wen?”
“Not like that.”
“Ah, no. I saw him talking affectionately with the current Astronomy Lady.”
“Ohhap. Those people are risking their lives in the beginning of the territory.”
“A life?”
"Yes, from what you're saying, it looks like you've gone pretty deep."
"no way. There’s a one-eyed demon running around.”
“Because he said he really risked his life.”
Gookjeong took Gong Jiyu's words in a strange way.
A quiet voice flowed from the mouth of Dong Bang-yu, who was not familiar with the truth.
“Hmm! I didn't know that they came to Woraksan with that much determination. Starting tomorrow, we'll have to act a little more boldly. Prepare your hearts, everyone.”
"yes?"
Nook Jung looked at his teacher with an uneasy face.
I heard Xuan Tianmen avoids contact with beasts, but would you act more boldly here?
“Didn't you just say that Xuan Tianmen's disciples risked their lives? Then we should go a little harder. They obtained Yeongji Seoncho, but if we were empty-handed, we would be worse off than not entering the mountain.”
“… … yes."
Gook Jung thought, “This isn’t it,” but he kept his mouth shut.
If you consider Hyeoncheonmun as a competitor, it is right to do as well as them.
dawn the next day.
The people of Geumdanmun went into Woraksan Mountain before dawn.
If I hovered at the beginning of the outer music yesterday, today I dig a little more boldly into the inside.
They say heaven helps if you want to.
As soon as it reached the center of the outer music, the corner of the corner shouted with excitement.
“Master! It is ‘Il-yeopseoncho’!”
Dong Bang-yu and Jeong Il-do's eyes followed the fingertips of the corner.
In a sunny place between large rocks, I saw a leek-like ‘Ilyeopseoncho’.
Dongbangyu's mouth caught on his ears.
It is Woraksan Mountain’s ‘Ilyeopseoncho’ that came out in three years.
Aside from the price, you will be praised just for getting it from Woraksan Mountain.
“Good job!”
“Old priest! i envy you! You're doing something!”
In the praise of the master and the brother-in-law, Gokjeong-jeong carefully dug up the 'Il-yeopseoncho'.
There were twelve of them growing in one place.
Roughly twelve pieces of gold.
It's time for him to open his mouth and dig a single leaf.
I saw something strange in Jeong Il-do's eyes as he looked around with a curious mind.
It was the body of a white tiger whose head had disappeared.
“Master! Here is the torso of the white tiger.”
“Baekho? A torso?”
Dong Bang-yu, who had been watching the corner with happy eyes, hurriedly ran to Jeong Il-do.
His silver hair glistened in the sunlight, as if he had just died.
Dong Bang Yu immediately stabbed Baek Ho with his sword.
puck-.
The sword bounced off with a dull sound.
For a moment, Dong Bang Yu muttered with a hard face.
“You are the back tiger of ‘pension’. The one-eyed demon is nearby.”
At his words, he threw away the 'Il-yeopseoncho' he was digging up and ran hurriedly.
“You have a one-eyed demon?”
Jeong Il-do pointed at Baek-ho and answered instead.
“Look, Baekho from ‘Pension’. Master stabbed it, but the knife didn't go in either. He cut off the head of that guy and ate it. It’s something only a single-eyed demon can do.”
“Damn it. It's a big deal.”
“I think we’ve come too far. It should have just been around the outskirts like yesterday. Was it too greedy?”
“It’s still outside music, but why do you have a single-eyed demon? driving me crazy. They said it was Hosadama. What happened to this as soon as I dug up ‘Il-yeopseoncho’?”
Dongbangyu said to the disciples who were confused and did not know what to do.
“Don’t make a fuss. Looking at Baekho's corpse, it seems that a day has passed. Now it will be in the inner music, not the outer music. So, Seokjeongi should finish digging up ‘Ilyeopseoncho’, and Ildo should look around. I thought it was because I was going back to the end of ‘Ilyeopseoncho’.”
Despite the teacher's instructions, Gokokjeong and Jeong Ildo couldn't move right away.
The fear of the one-eyed demon was so great.
Gookjeong cautiously opened her mouth.
“Master, can we just go back? Now, only three roots are plucked. It will take another meal (about 30 minutes) to dig up the remaining nine roots.”
“Tsk tsk! It's because the man's wall is so small. Shall we take the three roots of ‘Il-yeopseoncho’? People will laugh at you if you say that you ran away in surprise at the body of the white tiger.”
