Chapter 7 – Chapter 1 – The Fortune Teller

“Did you hear that rumor? There’s a famous fortune teller in Shaanxi.”

“Dots? Isn’t that witchcraft?”

“Eh. If that’s the case, is the swordsmanship of the shaman faction or the Kunryun sect also using witchcraft?”

“No, that’s different.”

“And what if it’s witchcraft? Is there anything we can avoid? It’s just a dot?”

“..Well, that’s true. So. Is that fortune teller really that good?”

“I heard it’s very useful. They say there is no such thing as a ghost. Let’s have a good marriage, love luck, and other ups and downs, what should I do when I don’t have children… They say that they treat every separation like tweezers.”

“Then it’s time to say that the fortuneteller has a nickname.”

“Ah. I heard there is.. That.. What was it..”

“A faceless golden demon…?”

* * *

-With my daughter

“Come on, oh.. Oh, are you here?”

“Why do you look sad because you’re not a guest?”

“If you’re a guest, it should have been nice. Well, it’s not like they don’t welcome you or something like that. First of all, aren’t you the benefactor who helped me live like this? Besides Sojeo, there’s no one I can talk to openly.”

She lowered her gaze back to Dang Ah-yeong and swept the floor with the broom.

“Listening, it seems to be going well these days? It has a very good reputation as a face-to-face golden ear.”

“Doesn’t a nickname with a ghost mean a very good thing?”

“So, why don’t you reveal the money in moderation?”

Faceless Golden Demon.

This nickname came about half a year after I came to Shaanxi and opened a fortune teller.

At first, I wanted to give each fortuneteller a nickname, but later I found out that there is no special reason for having a nickname.

It’s just that people in Jungwon like to do things like this, so if you want to be a little famous, you’ll get a star for each star.

‘A ghost that reveals money without a face..’

It’s a very fitting nickname.

Not a single person knows his face, and it is right to reveal the money.

“Still, what is a ghost to a living person? A ghost. No matter how much magic they do, they are definitely living people.”

“Why? It’s different from other places in its own way? A fortune-telling house with ghosts. It’s fun, right?”

When I think about it, I think something will be okay.

Well, it might be a good nickname if the misunderstood samurai didn’t come to subjugate me thinking I was really a ghost.

“No one has ever seen that face, and they don’t even know for sure whether it is a woman or a man.. He makes a lot of money, but most of the money is spent on drinking and gambling at a bar every night..?”

“The rumors have spread.”

“Actually, I’m very interested in the fact that there’s a very handsome Young master in it, and that there’s a beautician in the middle of the country. I heard that a certain idiot even put a bounty on anyone who recognizes your face.”

Somehow, there were gamblers who told me to bet face reveal instead of money.

I firmly refused, so I enjoyed it with money normally.

“What kind of person is he putting money in someone else’s face?”

“He’s a bad rumor. He’s notorious as a prostitute who seduces women with money and leaves them overnight.”

…I’m sure you don’t believe that there really is a beauty inside you.

“Please tell him. There’s a very nasty-looking guy inside.”

“Well… There’s no guarantee that you’ll definitely step down. The only way to be sure is to let people know you’re naked.”

“That’s not right.”

Face reveal is not allowed.

That woman has been secretly trying to see the inside of my cloak for a long time, but there is no sign of it.

“Even if she offered me 10 million gold, I wouldn’t.”

Even if you can make a lot of money for a while, you are more worried about the hardships that will follow.

I have no intention of taking this off until I go back to the mountains where Master is in the next three years.

“What the hell is inside that makes it so expensive?”

“I told you. You’re very ugly.”

“I smell…”

“Come to think of it, I drank a little too much yesterday. Did you smell alcohol?”

While living with Master, I knew how terrifying it was to be a woman’s intuition, but I got small goosebumps on my body.

What is the smell where is that

-Beep beep

The moment I thought about how to get rid of that leech-like woman

-Smart

“Hey… Are you inside?”

“Oh, welcome guests!”

The rope of salvation has come down.

.
.
.

The customers were ‘prettier women’ than expected.

“Wow.. I can’t really see the inside of the cloak at all.. It’s amazing.”

“I told you. You can’t see even if you focus your eyes? Can you believe me now?”

“…Hey, customer. There is a separate fee for the tour.”

“Is there a fee to see it?”

“Yes.. The grandson who came in before and didn’t look at the fortune telling and kept looking at the bloody wind, and then left.

I couldn’t tell where two of the women belonged, but I definitely knew where the other one belonged.

– Jerrit

A pure white uniform with plum blossoms on the sleeves, with eyes that didn’t seem to like me very much.

A volcanic wave

It wasn’t as much as the shaman group or the Kunlun group, but since the other side was also a guru, they didn’t seem to like this kind of magic that played with the heavenly gi.

In the meantime, I’ve met people from the Volcano Sect a few times, but most of them had reactions similar to that woman’s.

“How much is the tour fee?”

“It’s 10 hermits for half an hour. For reference, it’s set per person.”

“Why is it so expensive?!”

“It means that you should not just look around and go to fortune-telling. It is cheaper to see fortune-telling.”

For your reference, two hermits are worth looking at once.

It’s a bit pricey, but it’s not something you can’t afford. In the first place, it’s not a point of view as a pastime like on Earth, but a point that has real utility.

Knowing your future and being able to prepare in advance, two hermits are rather cheap.

It’s a neighborhood where a lot of Murim people go, so people have a lot of money.

‘In my mind, I want to try something big, but.’

It’s better to make a steady profit in this way, not very big money, but enough to have fun, rather than aiming for a quick get-rich-quick.

And the chance to get rich soon will come someday.

Like right now

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

The woman in the uniform of the Volcano faction opened her mouth with a displeased expression.

‘No, then why did you come to the fortune teller?’

This is why I hate guru.

I didn’t charter reading the heavenly gi. He said that I would make some money with my hard-earned skills. ‘How dare you use the magic that mocks heavenly spirit to make money?!’ These guys aren’t alone.

“Yes. Then, that small person pays only one part of the viewing fee… And the other two small things…”

“Don’t cast your spell on my friends.”

“..Are you two going to pay the fee and leave?”

“No… That… That…”

“It’s okay. Don’t look at this.”

The woman of the volcano wave interrupted the two women with restless expressions and threw something at me.

I want something like this…

“..Oh.”

It looked like silver.

A single item worth dozens of hermits.

If this is the case, it is profitable even if the business is closed today.

“If you want to see the peak, I’d rather ask another guru. So don’t touch this kind of magic. Let’s go.”

“Yes..”

While I was smiling through the inside of my cloak, the woman began to take her friends out.

And before leaving

“Faceless.”

“?”

Before the volcanic woman left, she stood in front of the door and called me.

“You’d better stop teasing people with such tricks.”

When I did something, it was just a joke.

But I am someone

It is a ghost that reveals money without a face.

“Goodbye!”

And the customer who raises a lot of sales is the king.

The king is leaving, so of course we should see him off.

.
.
.

“Wow.. Eun Won-bo.. How long has it been since this..”

I put the silver wonbo on the table and was fiddling with it with my hand.

“Scent..”

How many drinks is this?

Isn’t this enough to be able to order something that I couldn’t eat because it was expensive?

While immersed in these happy imaginations

“..You don’t look particularly upset, do you?”

Dang Ah-young, who had been hiding behind the tent, appeared.

“A woman wearing a plum-patterned uniform just now. From a glance, she seems to be a volcano. Didn’t she come here to quarrel with you? You came to a fortune teller and said you had no intention of doing fortune-telling, so you just paid the fee and went back?”

“Yes? Why is that?”

“..Why? Doesn’t it hurt your pride?”

“I didn’t work and I made money, but is pride important?”

It’s not even one or two pennies, it’s more silver won than silver won.

In other words, the sales that come out when you’ve been in business all day are a hassle for a while.

“..I think I know why you got a golden ear in your nickname.”

“Because I don’t like that nickname.”

“I said it’s not good, but I called you a faceless ear earlier, so you reacted right away?”

“The guest who gives a lot of money is the king. When the king calls, you have to answer whatever he calls you.”

“..That’s amazing in so many ways.”

Why. I don’t know because you have a lot of money, but this side is in a position where you have to earn hard and play hard.

I mean it’s already been half a year.

“It’s my fault for worrying about hurting my pride. If I just showed up there, everyone would have been terrified.”

“Even if it’s two people, even the volcano?”

“..Do you not know me?”

“Isn’t that the author of Dang Ah-yeong? The daughter of the Sichuan Tang clan.”

“..Is that the end?”

“Do you have anything else? Do you have any nicknames?”

“Her..”

Why. What.

What. You don’t have to explain

It took quite a while to find out that Dang Ah-young, who returned home in a bad mood that day, was one of the phoenixes that are given to the best latecomers of Moorim.
