Heavenly inquisition sword novel

Chapter 297 - What bullshit is that?

Kang Seong-jin from the outskirts of Diocese.

Around dusk, Yeonjeokha and his party entered the village.

Kang Seong-jin had about twenty or so households scattered about, making it embarrassing to find an inn.

Tae-eul muttered as if talking to himself.

“Hmm! I don't think there will be any... … .”

“No. Last time I stayed overnight at the shrine at the end of the village.”

Mu-deok Jang, a free apprentice, swept the surroundings with regretful eyes.

When Hyunmudae first arrived here, they were excited, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

It was an atmosphere of getting some fresh air from the stuffy life of Chiliha Village.

Every time they took a break, the young people somehow gathered and whispered among themselves.

It was also a pleasure to look back on my youth and watch them.

But now they don't go first.

Taemu asked abruptly.

“Then, should we go to that shrine again?”

Waking up from his thoughts, Zhang Mu-deok silently nodded his head.

There was no way that a restaurant could have been opened in a month, so of course it had to be.

He crossed the village, and indeed a shrine appeared.

Compared to the size of the village of about 20 households, it was so large that it felt excessive.

Jang Mu-deok briefly explained in front of the shrine.

“They say it was a pretty big town a long time ago. I heard that the village shrank through the war.”

Kunlun Samseon, who was in the lead, exclaimed, “Ah!” and nodded his head.

Jang Mu-deok, who entered the shrine, hesitated.

Because it was not managed, there were traces of camping here and there.

To him, it seemed like a sign of the current stage.

Shaking his head lightly, he went to a place far away from where he had stayed before.

After that, the people who came into the shrine scattered and took their seats.

Even if they were scattered here and there, since it was the same space, they could see each other at a glance.

Gucheonnodo Shimtong followed Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon like a shadow.

It was because neither Gwiyeongjagun nor Sisanma had a good relationship with Hyeokmuchun, and they did not fit well with Jangmudeok or Kunryunsamseon, so they had no place to stick together.

Gwiyeongja-gun and Hyukmu-chun diligently went around to gather branches and started a fire.

Not because it's cold, but because it's simple to cook.

They took out a kettle and various cooking ingredients from their backpacks without anyone telling them to do so.

It's a different look from before, when he only carried his share of dry weight.

After the ghost army's surprise attack failed, the two took on the job of spying.

When the water in the pot boiled, Hyuk Mu-chun poured rice, beef jerky, and various vegetables and spices into it.

It was a strange shape that was neither porridge nor soup, but the smell was plausible.

When the cooking was complete, the two brought food to Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon.

“General patrol.”

Youngja-kun carefully offered the bowl with both hands.

Hyukmu-chun also quietly put down the bowl that belonged to Namgung-yeon in front of Yeon Jeok-ha.

Simtong, who had been watching the scene with a sullen face, got up from his seat and walked to the pot.

At some point, Moo-deok Jang and Samseon Kunlun were settling down around the cauldron.

Old sim had to step into them with a shy face.

Taeeul Seonin spoke with an eye greeting.

“The green forest food is better than I thought. Does this have a name too?”

“We call it ‘pork porridge.’”

"ah!"

Kunlun Samseon and Zhang Mu-deok looked down at the porridge with strange eyes.

It was fine when I ate without thinking, but when I heard the sound of pork porridge, I felt a bit uneasy.

Hyukmu-chun, who returned at some point, said in a blunt tone.

"It's pork porridge, so if you don't want to eat it, you don't have to."

Youngja-kun silently poured food into a bowl and walked to a corner.

Hyuk Moo-chun also hurriedly packed food and moved to the side of Gwi Young-ja.

Gwi Yeong-ja and Hyuk Moo-chun could barely get their hands on food while cooking.

“Hwayoungja-kun, is there something that bothers you?”

“There is no such thing.”

“By the way, the complexion… … .”

The ghost muttered in a barely audible voice.

“Tsk! A guy with a gallbladder.”

It seems that he really knows that he is a handyman because he works as a handyman.

The situation would have been reversed if Yeonjeokha hadn't had the weapon called the Paljuryeong in his chest.

‘If I had aimed for the neck… … .’

If so, the person laughing now would have been himself.

It was only that he was not lucky, and it was not an insurmountable mountain to overcome.

Who would have thought that he would wear such a grotesque thing on his chest?

'damn… … .’

taste was bitter.

Seeing Hyuk Moo-chun satisfied as a handyman without even knowing his own feelings, his annoyance rises.

Will there be another chance?

Gwi Youngja-kun glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.

Namgoong-yeon and I were whispering something earnestly, as if I had given away my worries to the dog.

After dinner, it soon got dark.

Gwiyeongjagun and Hyukmuchun continued to maintain the fire.

This time, it's not for cooking, but to drive out the darkness.

This isn't something I do voluntarily, it's something I'm forced to do.

A few days ago, I forgot to fall asleep and turned off the light. That day, Gwi Young-ja and Hyuk Moo-chun were trampled on like dogs while sleeping soundly.

From that day on, the two risked their lives to keep the fire burning.

People went to sleep in the middle of a long conversation while bathing in the flickering lights.

Could it be around midnight (12:00 p.m.)?

"no!"

Someone let out a tearing scream.

“Enemies!”

“What is going on?”

"omg! What is it?”

People startled by the screams rose from their seats and took a vigilant posture.

Gwi Youngja-kun, who had been closing his eyes for a while, looked at Hyukmu-chun with bloodshot eyes.

“What is it? Did outsiders break in?”

Hyuk Moo-chun's hand, which was guarding the fire, pointed at Yeonjeok-ha.

“Looks like the gun patrol had a nightmare.”

Gwiyeongja-gun and Kunlun Samseon turned their gaze to Yeonjeokha.

Yeon Jeok-ha, awakened by my voice, was asking Namgung-yeon what was going on.

‘Sir, doing all sorts of crazy things now… … .’

Youngja-kun bent over like a shrimp again and lay down.

Knowing that Kunlun Three Lines was no big deal, he went back to his place.

Old sim glanced at the younger brother's complexion.

I'd had nightmares before, but I hadn't screamed like that.

What kind of dream did you have that made you so sleepy?

It wouldn't be normal if a master at the level of a junior high level would scream.

‘A practitioner’s dream is not just a dream… … .’

The people of the world praise that Empress Dowager Ten can read the heavenly secrets. But even if they die and wake up, they won't know. That Yeon Jeok-ha already got physical pain.

His dream is the future to come.

He himself has witnessed his dreams come true many times.

So the old sim kept glancing at Yeonjeokha.

“What are you looking at? feel sorry for people.”

“I’m just curious. What dream did you have that made you shout like that?”

Old sim couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

I want to know in advance as much as the time is right.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

“Ah, yes.”

Shen Tong saw that Yan Zi Xia didn't want to talk, so he closed his eyes.

“Hey Jeokha, are you really okay?”

When Namgungyeon asked, Yeonjeokha hesitated for a moment.

can it be okay

The moment he went to rescue Namgoong-yeon in her dream, her darkness swallowed her.

The darkness was so terrible that just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

The darkness that swallowed her Namgungyeon disappeared in an instant.

And there was only a strange pattern that I had never seen before.

Even though it was in her dream, her shock at losing her was so great that she let out a scream.

I don't know what happened to her after that.

Because I woke up to the sound of her own screams.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was sitting with a devastated face, stared directly at Namgung-yeon.

he himself knows

That will surely happen someday.

If he could have avoided it with effort, he would have been invisible in the first place.

The thought of losing Namgoong-yeon like that in front of his eyes made her heart ache.

He still hasn't been able to tell her what's on his mind... … .

"sister."

"huh?"

Seeing Namgoong-yeon's star-like eyes made her breathless and her heart thump alone.

“That’s it… … .”

"What? It's okay, so tell me."

I felt a little intimidated by her kind words.

She felt as if an older sister was taking care of her little brother, so she did not readily say "I like you."

But the nightmare pushed his back forward.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been biting my lip for a long time, spoke with great force.

“I like my sister. Not as a sister, but as a woman. For my sister, I will go to the ends of heaven or the bottom of hell.”

“… … .”

Namgoong-yeon's sudden confession made her heart skip a beat.

She has never dreamed of a day like this ever coming.

However, she did not know that the day would be inside a shrine in such a secluded mountain village.

Confessing with a disheveled face without sleeping.

When Namgung-yeon stared blankly at her, Yeon-jeok-ha hurriedly made an excuse.

“I don’t know how I will look to my sister, but I still wanted to tell her that I like her. My sister doesn't have to like me, so it's too much pressure... … .”

"i like you."

"yes?"

“I also want you as a man. I like it. I can go to the ends of heaven or the bottom of hell for you.”

Namgung-yeon put strength into the word ‘as a man’ especially for him.

It was carefully considered because he, who is not good at human relations, would be mistaken for a different meaning.

“Oh, well, so… … .”

Embarrassed by the unexpected response, the jeok-ha looked around.

he'd never dated a woman, so she didn't know what to do next.

“Thank you.”

At her sudden thank you, Namgung-yeon gave a 'put' and laughed.

And she quickly regained her composure thanks to her sister-in-law, who was more at a loss than herself.

“Thank you too.”

Namgungyeon gently held Yeonjeokha's hand.

She was startled at the match, but then firmly held her hand.

And with her impassioned face, she clattered her hands.

Never thought a day like this would come to you!

Yeonjeokha, who was kneading her small and soft hands as if kneading rice cakes, said involuntarily.

“Did you fight well with these hands?”

Namgungyeon, who had been holding out her hand with her reddened face, quietly pushed him away.

"Why?"

“I don’t see Jang Dae-hyeop I don't think so.”

“he must have gone to shit somewhere.”

Right now Yeonjeokha's interest was not in old man Moo-deok Jang, but in Namgung-yeon.

Yeonjeokha took Namgoongyeon's hand again like a hungry lion.

She said as Namgoongyeon patted his hand.

"It's been a while since you made a fuss. If it was nearby, it's time to come back. I guess something happened.”

“What is going to happen? We still have half a day to go to Mt. Fengji.”

“It's not yet half a day or more, it's only half a day. If a master like Jang Dae-hyeop runs at full speed, one hour (two hours) is enough for a round trip.”

“You really think that Jang Dahyeop went to Mt. Fungji alone?”

"It's not like that, but that's the only place to go from here."

“Why does Jang Dae-hyeop go there alone?”

“So, from now on, we need to find out where Jang Dae-hyeop went.”

“No, where did he go in the middle of the night?”

He openly grumbled when his intimate time with Namgoong-yeon, whom he had a rivalry with, was interrupted.

She sat up quietly with her heartache.

“Confucius.”

“what?”

'I heard that stealing, which I learned late, is scary, so please do it in moderation and come to your senses!'

But the words did not come out of my mouth.

"Congratulations."

"what? Jang Dae-hyeop, who was sleeping well, suddenly disappeared. What kind of bullshit is that?”

The grumpy jeok- ha raised his voice for no reason.

Kunryun Samseon, Gwiyeongjagun, and Hyukmuchun, who had been keeping their ears pricked up since earlier, sneaked up to me.
