Chapter 5 – Chapter 1-Dots Let’s Go See It

“It’s a village…”

It was three o’clock after walking aimlessly along the downhill road in the steep mountain.

I managed to escape through the mountain.

I was thinking about how to make an excuse if there was a gateway, but it didn’t seem to be such a big town.

-Growl

“Let’s eat first..”

It is the world outside.

I want to eat some delicious food instead of weeding.

It wasn’t difficult to find the inn. After walking around a bit, I was able to find it quickly.

“Welcome! Are you one?”

“Yes.”

‘What should I order?’

If it was Earth, there would have been a menu board, but there was no such thing in this world.

“I’ve just come down from living in the mountains, so I don’t know what food is available. Can you recommend it?”

He took out a hermit from his bosom and turned it round and round.

I don’t know what the price is, but it’s still silver, but I think it’s an amount that can make enough for one meal.

“Of course! If you’ve just come down from the mountain, you probably haven’t eaten any stimulating food in the meantime, so I think it’s better to eat somen noodles first. Maybe meat like fish tank meat can have a stimulating taste.”

“Then give it to me.”

“Yes. Do you need a drink by any chance?”

“..A bottle of something suitable, please.”

“Yes! I’ll bring it to you right away!”

It must have been prepaid, so I got a lot of change back.

Apparently, the hermit was a bigger amount of money than he thought.

.
.
.

“Now I feel like living a little.”

The worldly food eaten after a long time was a delicacy itself.

Even if it was just somen noodles, it was much tastier than crops grown in the mountains, and especially, how long have you been drinking alcohol?

“After all, people need alcohol…”

It was a little strong because it was Chinese alcohol, but that’s why it was rather good.

Anyway, this body seems to be quite drunk.

It is almost the first time drinking alcohol, but no matter how much the contents are rolled, there is no particular rejection reaction even though it is an adult.

‘I like this one.’

The short circuit is broken, the body is weak, and the face has to be covered.

I want to drink another bottle of my heart, but I can’t collapse from being pickled with alcohol from the first day down the mountain.

I needed information to make plans for the future.

“If you’re free over there, can I ask you something? I’ll give you a reward.”

“Of course!”

Employee? Jeomsoi? The boy who was called that in my memory looked at the hermit in my hand and his eyes lit up.

There are no other guests at the moment, so I can ask questions comfortably.

.
.
.

“Hmm..”

I thought I knew a lot, but I was a Jeom Soi who knew more than I thought.

There was a lot of useful information about how the Moorim situation is these days, how the green forest is, and how the late indexes are.

And especially useful information

“It’s a school in Seomyeon..”

It was the existence of an academic officer who said that he could enter the dormitory at about the age of the contract.

As it is in the middle of the factional forces, it is a scholarly view that later exponents who dream of politics from all regions flock to it.

I have no intention of entering What do you mean by going with a body that can’t even learn martial arts?

Even if you learn to use your brain, it was a great loss to spend that time only at the academic school, as you have to return to this place within three years.

In the first place, there is no certainty that you can enter the office with ambiguous magic, whether it is astrology or an apostle.

Then why are you interested?

“Is it safe around there?”

“It’s much safer than other areas. It’s an academy where the children of the five generations and the old family are gathered, so you’re not going to let go of the Moorim League?”

Because it looks safe.

You can’t think of them as kind because they’re a political faction, but at least on the outside, as long as they’re advocating for a great cause, the security around them will be fairly guaranteed.

Is that all? Floating population is no joke.

If I were to consider my previous life, it would be Daehangno.

There is a lot of floating population, and the target is young people who are very hot and full of blood.

Perfect for business

There are many customers who are good at business, and security is good?

There is no reason not to go.

If there’s a problem, that’s the way to get there.

“Does it take long to get there?”

“The land of Jungwon is very wide. If you want to go, it would be better to talk to the merchants or the charter.”

When I handed the money to Jeom So-yi and went outside, the sun was setting.

It would be difficult to visit the country at this time.

I went to the inn recommended by Jeom So-yi and rummaged through my money bag.

Unfortunately, thanks to the Murim people fighting not too long ago, it is said that it is not possible to sleep on the second floor.

But where did the guy who lived only in the mountains get the money?

..Is there another place to come out except for one?

‘It wasn’t stolen, it was only briefly borrowed.’

Originally, the disciple’s things are the master’s things, and the master’s things are the disciples’ things.

After all, what is the use of money for a person who has entered lung training?

It’s enough to borrow something you won’t use anyway, use it for a while, and refill it later.

‘..If you get caught, you’ll be screwed.’

So you must hurry.

My goal is to enjoy the world as much as possible within three years and return before Master comes out.

I didn’t know, so I left a letter saying that I was going out for a while, but I don’t know when that person will come after me.

First of all, it is best to go to Shaanxi right now.

It’s safe, you can do business, and there are many things to enjoy.

Let’s think about the details later, the moment we open the inn door to sleep tonight

“Wow.”

I found a man who was spitting out a lot of bad luck.

Seeing him with a sword at his waist, he seemed to be a Moorim person.

‘It’s easy to get caught up in useless things when you’re around someone like that.’

If I had that kind of bad luck, I wouldn’t have been able to live a decent life until now.

Considering that they are Moorim people, it is rather surprising that they are still alive.

‘..Wait for a sec.’

Maybe it’s because I have a good family, so I’m still alive with that level of bad luck.

Because the gods of heaven and earth decide parents before they are born and decide their destiny, they are two different things, so if you were born into a really good family, you can somehow save gold or jade.

That’s bad luck. Even if you were born in an ordinary family, you have already lost one of your limbs in an accident.

Now that I look at it, maybe it’s a really good family to look different from other people’s clothes?

‘Hmm..’

If you do well, you might be able to earn money before going to Shaanxi.

“Hello Sohyeop. Isn’t the weather very chilly today?”

“If it’s a drug, it’s a refusal.”

“Haha, although I’m dressed like this for a reason, I’m not a suspicious person.”

“Those who dress suspiciously and claim not to be suspicious are, in the end, usually weirdos. Seven out of ten were trying to take advantage of me, and three were assassins.”

The man was wary of the mysterious man who approached him wearing a bloody clothing.

Considering the life he has lived so far, it was natural.

“To dispel any doubts, I should first introduce myself. I am a fortune teller who just came down from training in the mountains.”

“Ha, do fortunetellers also train in the mountains these days?”

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s a skill to receive the energy of the sky and read the records, but where else do you train if it’s not the closest to the sky?”

“… After hearing it, you’re right.”

“I understand the position of the small cooperative. To be honest, anyone approaching in such a suspicious manner would be wary. Even if I were a small cooperative, I would have done so. So, would you please allow me a little time to interest the small cooperative?”

“…”

He must have been a very suspicious person just by looking at his outfit, but he felt strangely drawn to him.

Whether it was a strange treatment or it was just an exquisite angle, no matter how much I turned my eyes, I couldn’t see the face inside, and the voice wasn’t natural either.

To be honest, I couldn’t even tell if it was male or female.

“I’ll give you a glimpse. If you bother me after that, I won’t stay still.”

If Lee had been an assassin, he would be a great master.

It was a considerable skill to succeed in getting the interest of the opponent without giving away any physical information.

“Haha, that’s enough.”

The fortuneteller smiled mischievously and put her hand into her bosom.

The man posed so that he could make moves at any time, wondering if he was trying to memorize them, but what came out in the hands of the fortuneteller were 8 small wooden tablets.

“Have you ever looked at divination before?”

“..I have no intention of fortune telling you.”

“Didn’t you say you would give me a piece? Please invest that much.”

For someone who had just come down from the mountain, his skills in dealing with people were top notch.

Geon(乾), Tae(兌), Li(離), Jin(震), Son(巽), Gam(坎), Gan(艮), Kun(坤)

Eight symbols representing all things in heaven and earth. 8 trigrams.

Qian (乾) is Heaven, Earth is Kun (坤), and Tai (兌) is…

“I’m running out of time, so I’ll omit the principle. It’s hard to explain.”

“Isn’t that supposed to be explained?”

“A long mouth is a cheater. Haven’t you heard that true masters are proven by results?”

“…”

Compared to the shamans and guru’s I’ve seen in the past, there was no formality.

‘Should I say it’s good because there’s no needless flattery?’

“Okay, here are the results.”

“Already?”

“Even if it looks like this, I only trained in the mountains for 10 years. Ah. Do you think it ended too boring? If you want, I can make a small spark fly.”

“..It’s done. Just let me know the results.”

He was a person who grew tired the more he dealt with.

Whatever it is, it’s best to just break up quickly.

“I know this sounds bad, but please calm down and listen. Have you ever felt that you were unhappy?”

“…”

She had never considered herself lucky, as she had lived to an age just beyond her terms as a man.

Her mother died when she was young, and her one and only older brother despised and guarded herself for being a half brother.

He had no talent for martial arts, and his father, who passed on the surname ‘Namgung’ to himself, gave only minimal protection so that the name would not be tarnished, but did not give a glance.

In the end, perhaps because of this environment, she started to deviate from the time she passed Jihak.

She almost lived in Giru every day and seduced countless women to sleep with in the name of her family.

In the end, when the elders of the family heard this foolish act, the father finally paid attention.

[Go away. If I knew I would give birth to a child like you, I wouldn’t have gone that day..]

“I’m sorry you’re lost in reminiscence, but it’s not long until the end. I’ll just say a little.”

“..That’s okay. It wasn’t a very good memory.”

“Then it’s fortunate. First of all, in my view, the bad luck of the small agreement is great. In my personal opinion, I would like to pay respect to you for surviving so far.”

It was an exaggerated expression and gesture, but strangely, it didn’t feel too bad.

“Watch out for the water.”

“..Water?”

“The more I tell you in detail, the more air leaks. Right now, this is the limit. Please remember, small cooperation. Be careful of the water.”

“..Tsk.”

Water is everywhere in the world.

Be careful with that water. After all, what is the difference between saying to be careful wherever you go?

He spoke strangely well, so his heart cooled quickly.

“You just wasted time needlessly.”

It wasn’t worth hearing more.

The man immediately jumped out of her seat and headed for the room above her.

“Wait a minute!”

“…”

I heard the fortune teller’s voice from downstairs, but I ignored it and quickly went up to my room.

“Ace, give me one silver coin and go.”

It’s my first business, but it seems to be ruined.

I thought I could make some money.

“Ehh. It seemed like there was interest, but it’s a pity.”

With a sigh, she retrieved the eight wooden tablets she had spread on the table and put them in her arms.

“Well… Now I have to go to bed too.”

What I had to do was simple.

Find an inn that is as far away from this inn as possible.

Because I didn’t want to get hurt from the first day.
