Chapter 572- Let's not care about each other
the next morning.
About three hundred people gathered at the north gate of Yangdo.
All of them are merchants and escorts from the upper ranks who have gathered to go to the northern road.
It was the first time since Yangyang came into existence that such a large group of people had gathered to go to the northern road.
A diverse group of people gathered, but in an orderly manner.
At the center were Choiseon Sangdan, Geumwang Sangdan, and Sinju Sangdan.
Because there were masters of the soyojong sect behind the three guilds, outsiders voluntarily followed the instructions of the three guilds.
Of course, not everyone followed the top three directions.
The escorts of the three guilds gathered the merchants who joined from Yangdo separately to one side.
Cheon Won-seok, the head of the top division, taught foreign merchants how to behave.
“Listen! I won't stop you from following behind us! But no matter where we go, the corps goes first, and you have to follow! At any rate, you can't try to go ahead of the top like those people! I mean, you shouldn't be fooling around in front of the upper ranks! Do you understand?”
Wonseok pointed to the north gate.
Just in time, a man and a woman were approaching her officers.
Since no merchants were going out through the north gate this morning, their behavior was more noticeable.
"All right."
“Excellent! These are people who don't notice. I have to follow behind unobtrusively, what subject are you leading?”
“People like that need to taste a bit hot to come to their senses.”
“We will never do anything like that!”
The merchants threw one word at a time.
Won-seok Won, who nodded his head with a satisfied face, gave him a slight fright.
“Those who get ahead of our upper ranks will not be protected! If you want to be protected, please follow me gently! Do you understand?”
"yes!"
“Of course not!”
“Hold on to worry!”
After the merchants answered in a loud voice, one by one they put down their backpacks.
It is because there is no need to lose strength in advance to go after the three tops have moved.
As the merchants obediently obeyed the control, Wonseok Won left his leaders and ran to the North Gate.
He buries himself in the upper three to prevent those who dare to lead the way.
As the man and the woman approached the gate, the official from the north gate raised his hand to stop them.
“Stop.”
Yeonjeokha approached the officer.
Having lived with the officers at the city gate all winter, he did not have a very unpleasant face.
"what?"
"Looks like you're going to the 'corridor of death', right?"
"that's right."
“If you can, why do you want to go first when you have to go with the guild? Don't you know what that place is like?"
A smile spread across the younger brother's lips.
Seeing the tone and expression of the young officer, I could feel that he was worried.
It's time for Yeonjeokha to answer.
A middle-aged man came running like the wind from behind.
It was Won Won-seok, the manager of the top-tier.
He stopped in front of the officer and said.
“I am Won-seok Won, the manager at the top. Choi Seon Sang, Geumwang Sangdan, and Shinju Sangdan will cross the ‘corridor of death’ together with the masters of Soyo sect.”
Then the officer nodded his head.
“I heard the story. I wish you good results.”
After talking with the officer, Won-seok Won turned his gaze to the man and woman who were standing like a bag of barley.
“What kind of irrelevant behaviour do young people have? If you're going to bury them at the top of the three, you'll have to quietly follow them. Look at the vendors waiting their turn over there. Do you think they are doing that because they have no idea?”
Yeonjeokha refuted his words.
“Hey, Manager Won. Are we not going to bury it?”
"this! It wasn't just a case. As I told the other merchants, those who are ahead of the Caravan will not be protected. If that's okay with you, go ahead. I won't stop until that."
At Won-seok's threat, the officer slipped in.
“Please obey this man’s words. If you don't protect us from the top, we won't make it through the mountains. Don't they say that sect masters don't come forward unless they have a special relationship?"
It was as he said.
The masters of the sect did not pay much attention to the life and death of ordinary people.
That's why I had to see that I couldn't get any help if I was outside the eyes of the upper ranks.
But he didn't even nod.
Or rather, maybe not caring about each other was what he wanted.
“Director Won, so let’s not care about the upper management team or each other, right?”
“If you go ahead, so be it. If you want to get help from the servants, follow the upper ranks. The reason of the world is originally like that. Looking for help... … .”
As Won-seok Won-seok tried to speak, Yeon Jeok-ha cut off.
“I do. We'll just take care of each other, so let's not worry about each other. I won't care what the top is like either. OK?”
“… … .”
Wonseok Won-seok looked at the young man with absurd eyes.
Let's not care about each other.
The reason why the hundred or so merchants gathered in Yangdo followed the instructions of the upper rank was to be protected.
But to refuse protection saying that you will go to the ‘corridor of death’?
'The guest machine is piercing the sky.'
Won-seok Won-seok looked at the young man's companions when he could not speak.
It was a composition with no special corner anywhere.
Except for the smooth face of the woman, they are common children who can be seen on the street.
Is it because the story is getting longer?
Geumjin, the leader of the top ranks, approached.
“What is it?”
"Captain, that's... … .”
Won-seok Won briefly reported what had happened so far.
Then Geum-jin glanced at Yeon Jeok-ha and the others and clicked his tongue, saying, ‘Tsk tsk!’
“Chief Won. I didn't see it that way, but people are too soft. So, will you take good care of your subordinates? Is Manager Won even a relative of the nerds?”
"no."
“Then why do you care about other people’s business? If you want to die, let it die. If there is a famine in Great Wall, will Director Won die of starvation? Isn't it like that?"
Manriseong is located in the northern part of Chaoyangseong, and the land is barren, making it difficult to make a living. So, when people talk about dying of starvation, they used to quote Great Wall.
"yes."
“Director Won just needs to keep the top of the line. Why are you messing around?”
"sorry."
Won-seok couldn't even make a sound at Geumjin's pressing.
After looking at Gong Ji-yu one more time, Geum-jin shook his head excitedly and went back.
When the Jinjin disappeared, Won-seok's shoulders stretched out again.
“I was the only one who was cursed because of you. Did you hear the captain? If you want to die, you can go first. Even if you die and fall, the guild will not help.”
“Yes, yes, I will never hold on to the ankles of the top. Then do you go first?”
Hwijeokhwijeok walked in front of the horse.
Gong Ji-yu bowed to Won-seok Won-seok and his officer and followed him.
As if only Jeong Deok-haeng had any regrets left, he looked back at the extension.
Wonseok shook his head and murmured.
“What is he doing? I don't look like a merchant... … .”
Thinking of the beautiful woman and the porter who accompanied him, his thoughts gradually hardened.
Sometimes there are kids like that.
One-day puppies who don't know how scary the world is.
The fate of such one-day puppies is determined by the food of the beast.
The scary thing about the 'corridor of death' is that you can't avoid meeting the beast.
Since it is a straight path between canyons, luck does not play a role.
The reason merchants in Yangdo follow the control is because they are the first to encounter the beast if they go ahead.
'It's a waste of a woman.'
I said it to myself because I was afraid that the official would curse at me for being a snob.
“What is that?”
Kwak Sang-moon, a soyo-jong master, pointed at the man and woman who were exiting the gate with his chin.
Lee Gon, the top-ranking leader, replied with a puzzled face.
“It looks like those who were in Yangdo. It seems that the immortals of the Soyo sect knew that they were going the northern route and intervened.”
“They dare to go ahead of us, they are shameless.”
“Even if it wasn't so, I told the captains of the guild to take control, but I'm sorry. I will send someone to the back of the procession.”
“Leave it alone. I want to see how they deal with the beast.”
A flash of life passed through Kwak Sang-moon's eyes.
He dared to go ahead of the soyo bell master, and he was going to make him pay the price.
"yes."
Igon let out a sigh of relief.
It would be embarrassing to ask him to take responsibility for the failure to control the number of people, but he would rather be fine.
"egg plant."
Kwak Sang-moon took her steps before the man and the woman disappeared from sight.
To see their gruesome words with both eyes.
As Kwak Sang-mun and the five soyo-jong masters walked, wagons and porters followed.
There are Ilgung (一宮), Samjeon (三殿), and Palgak (八閣) in Mt.
Originally, it was twelve, but five hundred years ago, in a fight with the Cheonji sect, the five senses were lost, and the seven points remained.
Among them, Kwak Sang-mun was a master of ‘Wonyoung’ belonging to ‘Jehaeng-gak(諸行閣)’.
The rituals were like a bridge connecting the secular world and the Soyo sect.
Being a master of the Soyo sect does not mean that you have completely cut ties with the secular world.
If the mundane world needed the sect because of the encroachment of beasts, demons, and beasts, the sectarian disciples were living with the offerings of the secular world.
In a word, it is like helping and receiving donations.
The lord of the castle or the lord of the county constantly requested help from the sect, and each time the sect sent an appropriate disciple.
The place where disciples who wanted to go out to the secular world gathered was ‘Jehaenggak’.
Then, why did the disciples of the sect who left the secular world put their names on their deeds?
Not only in Soyojong, but also in the sect, they did not pamper their disciples for free.
Disciples of the sect were rewarded according to their performance.
Rewards were divided into 'Gap-Eul-Byeong(甲乙丙)' according to the level of difficulty of the job. 'Golden' was given to the lowest-ranked Byeong(丙), 'Honseok' to B(乙), and 'Gyeongseok' to Gap(甲). .
‘Honseok’ and ‘Arcanumseok’ are the highest level treasures that directly help to increase aura.
So what about gold?
Do disciples of sects who have distanced themselves from the secular world need gold?
The answer is 'necessary'.
The disciples of the sect purchased and took ‘Gyeongji Seoncho’ or ‘Naedan’ to increase their spiritual energy.
For that reason, the disciples of Soyojong, who had no sponsors, flocked to ‘Jehaenggak’.
For reference, it is only 'Wonyoung' who receives help from Yeongji Seoncho and Naedan.
'Dogyo' From the beginning, it was difficult to increase the spirit energy with ‘Yeongji Seoncho’ or ‘Naedan’.
To be precise, I had to take it and it didn't show signs.
From then on, you have to get help from ‘Honseok’ and ‘Youngseok’.
What should an ordinary Soyojong disciple do to obtain ‘Honseok’ and ‘Spiritual Seok’?
At that time, I had to put my name on ‘Musangak’ rather than ‘Jehaeng-gak’.
The difficulty of the tasks entrusted in ‘Musang-gak’ was so high that only masters of Dokyo or higher were accepted.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Therefore, even if you only know the affiliation of a Soyo sect master, you can roughly guess his inaction.
The bottom is ‘Jehaeng-gak’, the top is ‘Musang-gak’, and the rest are at least higher than ‘Musang-gak’.
But that also means that Kwak Sang-moon of Yangdo today is the best among the group.
The five soyojong masters were inferior to Kwak Sang-mun, and as a result, they were in a hurry to please Kwak Sang-mun.
Yihyu, a master of Soyojong, took a sneak peek at Kwak Sang-moon's complexion.
Seeing that he frowned every time he saw this man and woman, it must have been quite distasteful.
Heck, it's not like they're doing any kind of escort, and it's understandable that young people who have nothing to do with the upper ranks keep hanging out in front of them.
He is more conspicuous because no one goes to and from the ‘corridor of death’.
I said, ‘I’ll see what happens when I meet the beast,’ but I’m not in the mood to go until then.
'Shall I kick it out?'
