Chapter 316 – [Isn’t It Wrong to Seek an Encounter in Moorim?]
When I lived in Jungwon, I made some money through manual labor and set up a small shop.
The menu is mapo tofu. It was a cumbersome but rewarding shop to make tofu by hand from start to finish.
Sichuan has been the home of spicy cuisine since ancient times. Sacheon is the birthplace of dishes that were popular in Korea, such as hot pot and malatang. I decided on the menu because I thought mapo tofu would sell well.
Huh? Mapo tofu was a dish made during the Qing Dynasty, but how did it come out in the ancient Chinese level, Murim?
Here, the world administrator has been limiting the level of civilization, so the Murim has existed for thousands of years. Originally, according to the development of technology, it is martial arts that must be destroyed, but it is said that it is for training transcendental people rather than technology.
If you look at it, you’ve never heard of Yoon Na-ra or Tae-na. First of all, the history is different. If it had developed normally, it would have been in the space tourism business a long time ago.
Anyway, the business of mapo tofu was also good, so I raised the store, and after living like that for decades, the business prospered enough to become a local maintenance before I knew it. Even before I died, I would have had money, but if I hadn’t gone bankrupt, I would still be.
We decided to go down the mountain first. I have to sell my gold and take care of my travel expenses. Because I have to go see Gray.
………Grey, did that bastard come again and set the coordinates for Liaoning? You almost have to go all the way to Joseon, right? Oh, isn’t it Joseon?
“Hey, mister, are you saying you don’t accept me as a disciple?”
“It’s not like that, it’s because he’s a relative in the family, so you should call him uncle. He’s like your grandfather’s brother.”
“Grandpa?”
Not a daughter, not a granddaughter. Besides, it’s almost certain that my blood is connected to the last name of Choi and the name is in the shape of Yo.
“But you’re too young to be called a grandfather…”
“Hmm…Have you heard of half-romantic movement?”
“Are you saying that when a master reaches a level, he becomes younger?!”
Sun-yi asked her vigorously, her eyes shining.
It seems that he is interested in that kind of thing as much as he admires the Moorim people.
I decided to talk with Yong Ha-yeon for now. It’s because it’s easier to explain to people later.
[Let’s say you went all the way to West Station to meet Grey, then traveled around the globe. OK?]
[Wouldn’t something like that be revealed?]
[You can say that you came through Tibet. All of the middle courts are tainted with Chinese ideology, so from the point of view of China, the places they try to entangle are regarded as non-tax. In the meantime, how will you investigate our activities?]
Right next to Sacheon, there is a place called Seojang in Jungwon. It’s better to say Tibet on the Earth side, but here you’re probably treating it as an extra tax like Podalap Palace or something.
What would they say if we said we came via Tibet? You’d be lucky if you go and investigate and don’t get hit by the Dalai Lama.
And they are also Buddhists in their own way, but they must have better personalities than some Moorim people. If you look at Earth’s history, some of the Dalai Lamas of all time were invited as teachers by Chinese emperors.
From my point of view, it is no different from a black man living in America pointing his finger at a black man living in Africa. You fucking racist!
[Anyway, that gray guy must have been rumored to be a westerner. Then it wouldn’t be strange if I went all the way to West Station to find you.]
[Then, do you think I’m going to assume that I’ve been alive so far?]
[If you think about distribution, don’t you think that being treated as a disciple or being called yourself will not make much of a difference?]
[That’s it too]
Murim people mostly pursue justifications. Those who don’t like that buy it.
How long has passed since Yong Ha-yeon’s death can only be known by looking at the history properly, but at this point, the only person alive at the time would be King Manbyeong at most.
It is better to think of him as a great Moorim senior than to be ignored as a fledgling master. At least I won’t rush to take advantage of it.
“Let’s move to a seat first. Prepare travel expenses…”
Spread your senses and find the nearest city here. It’s right after crossing a mountain, so it’s not as far away as I thought, so I don’t think it’s that hard to get there.
“And I need to hear from you.”
“…………”
I need to find out why my granddaughter was living in a hut like a beggar in a place like this.
Even if you don’t obsess over the relationship in your previous life, the story will change if you see and confirm it yourself. Besides, she’s not a distant bloodline, she’s a granddaughter.
I carried the sun. And we quickly spread the sky and quickly crossed a mountain and reached the city.
“I see you over there”
“I know”
…….Although it has changed a little, the familiar look stands out.
It seems that the relationship doesn’t let go of me easily.
* * *
If you think about it, it was a good reason. No matter how much you learn, a child can’t live far away from a distant place. Considering that, it is only natural that I lived in the mountains not far from Chengdu, where I lived.
Entering the city, it is coop-coop, but it still smells good. The natural environment of Jungwon is much better than China, even if it is a city, where environmental pollution is less and there is no yellow dust or fine dust because it is not yet developed.
“Chengdu, it’s been a while since I came here.”
“What did they say, my master also said that he was from Sichuan, but I don’t know where he was from.
“Does that child have a relationship with the Seomun family?”
“It was the house of an irreplaceable friend. But Moorim’s shopping cart or treasure got caught up in something insignificant and was ruined.”
“It’s a common story.”
“Of course, that became the opportunity to awaken my master’s Celestial Spirit, so only the Namgung family was defeated.”
You might think of a celestial star as the great killer of the world who was born with that star, but if you dig deeper, it’s not like that, it’s just a person with a mental problem. Psycho-Pass is unreasonable.
First of all, I am a millennial. That’s why my teacher, the Thousand Killer Ryu, taught me in moderation.
Anyway, to put it briefly, it means that the Celestial has a mental defect even when he was young, but he has gone through a traumatic event and has lost his guilt for murder.
Of course, people like Dog Trash Moorim Gongjeok are also similar, but most of them are the type who get pleasure from killing, but we don’t have that. Killing people just doesn’t make any sense.
Not sure if a corner of the head is broken. All right
“I’ll have to start by preparing for my travel expenses. If I exchange at least one gold bar, I’ll have enough money to spend for the time being. What’s the price of gold these days…”
“Is that gold the gold of that golden city then?”
“So what”
Suddenly, Seon-i was quiet, so I looked back and saw that he was sleeping with his back on his back… No, he had passed out.
Well, I think I forgot that going over a mountain in light air for a child is a pretty scary thing in an era without roller coasters. I entrusted Seon to Yong Ha-yeon.
In the first place, it is better for a woman to take care of a child, not a man. It’s the same woman. I don’t know if I’m a woman right now, but it’s hard for a man to do this and that.
“I’ll exchange some money, so I’m waiting for you.”
“Then let’s look around the market around here. It’s a midfielder, so it’s a new feeling.”
“I’ll take the money and go find it on my own, so until then, enjoy your child shopping.”
Eyes are drawn to the surroundings. First of all, the clothes stand out because of their unique shape because they are modern clothes, not mid-century clothes.
If you can’t see it, it’s rather strange. I need to buy some clothes to avoid eye contact, but I can’t because I don’t have the money here.
“Let’s see…”
Chengdu is the center of Sichuan. It’s busy enough that it’s easy to find a trustworthy place to exchange gold.
Anywhere is fine as long as it’s big and famous. Gathering information from the stories people tell as they pass by, I pick out a few names that sound familiar.
It seems that the guild that I know since my death is all ruined. In the first place, I live only in Sacheon, so I don’t know where they work on a regional basis.
“The Iron Blood Merchant?”
It is said that there is a place called the Iron Blood Battlefield (鐵血錢場) operated by the Iron Blood Merchant near here. People go up and down a lot, but it seems to be a place with a lot of trust.
I decided to change the gold there and moved. If it was just simple gold, I would just go around and use it, but since this is 100% pure gold with some power of utopia, it is better to sell it at the right price.
Isn’t that more affordable? No matter how much I am a hogu, I do not sell it at a bargain price for a pure transaction without friendship.
I went to the Iron Blood Battlefield by asking people. After walking for some time, I noticed a place where a signboard was slickly hung on a grand building in the center of the city.
And in front of the main gate, a few guards who seemed to have learned martial arts were standing and guarding it firmly.
Oh, but there seems to be a reason for being trusted, right? In this world, even if you have money, you can’t do anything, so it’s natural that you have to have the power to protect it.
“How did you get here?”
Despite my attire, the guard politely asks. Hmmm…… For now, I passed. The impression is not bad.
“I’m here to get some money.”
I sneakily took out a pure gold bar from my pocket and showed it to him. Then the face of the guard looked a little surprised, but then politely bowed his head and guided him inside.
“Excuse me. Please eat inside.”
Since ancient times, gold is a precious metal anywhere unless it is developed in space. In particular, if you have more past development than Hyundai, the mining technology has limitations, so the value is higher.
When demand is high and supply is low, it is natural for the market to rise in value. I know that I am also a writer.
Even if it’s the same gold ingot, even if it’s a globe, you can go to a gold store and get it, even if it’s expensive by tens of thousands of won.
The place where I was guided by the guards was a pretty old-fashioned room. Along with the picture of the orchid, there is a subtle fragrance.
Soon after, a Sibi came in and brought out the car. Tea leaves like dried anchovies with a subtle scent… Ah, it looks cheap this way. So let’s say it’s a thin tea leaf like a silver needle.
“You’ve been waiting. My name is Bae Yun, who is in charge of the Chengdu branch of Iron Blood Battlefield.”
“I say the worst.”
I didn’t expect the branch manager to come out in person. At most, it must be the level of the general, I thought.
“I heard that you were here, so I went out to greet you. Why did you visit our Sangvis battlefield?”
“I came here to exchange some money because the amount of precious stones I had was too large to carry around. Rumors of Sangvis Battlegrounds were spreading in the streets.”
“You’re overrated.”
If the other person treats you kindly, I intend to treat you kindly too. You know that I’m just a bastard who’s just messing around.
I glanced over at him. For a merchant, he had a pretty decent base… And he was learning martial arts as well. Could it be that the name Sanghyeol of the Sangvis battlefield is because he is learning martial arts?
The level is quite high. He probably took the elixir with the money he earned and did doping.
Anyway, I took out a gold bar from my pocket and held it out to him.
“Mmm! This luster…!”
“You can tell just by looking at it.”
“It’s easy to disgrace your family if you don’t develop your eyesight while engaged in commerce. Besides, this brilliance…Isn’t it hard to see pure gold?”
He shuddered at the warmth he felt as he placed his hand on the gold bar to determine its exact weight.
I added an additional explanation to him who looked surprised.
“This is…….?”
“There are people who look like alchemists called alchemists in the far west.
He slowly spat out a gura. It’s honestly not hype. Rather, an understatement.
Utopia’s power over time and space is a power high enough to make humans immortal if used well. Even if it’s a gold ingot with a piece of it, it’s just that the content is small, but that’s right.
And to sell things, advertising is natural. Rather than porcelain without any ointment, a premium is placed on porcelain that the king of an ancient kingdom cherished.
“If you touch it, the gold gives off a subtle warmth. That warmth never cools down, even on the ice in the middle of winter.”
“Indeed…..!!!”
Murim people have always liked the rarest things that are said to be iron or iron. If he met his master well, he could eat several times more than he calls for here.
Of course, I don’t bother going there and I need the money right away. After all, there are still more gold bars left. It won’t even last a few months, so it’s overflowing with travel expenses.
“The value of simple gold is valuable, but it would be nice to plate it somewhere and use it as a bed. It will always keep you warm with warmth.”
“Ohhh… I see, such a thing.”
In time he became a merchant’s eye, took his eyes off the gold bar, and looked at me.
“If you change it, you must mean that you will sell it. How much do you want?”
“I’m not good at bargaining, so please pay for yourself.”
That is the word that bothers me the most when it comes to business. ‘Jessiitis’.
Sibeol How many bastards I’ve seen in the past who were playing Maple and got jejunitis. So I asked how much he wanted, and he said yes. Damn centipede mother, you bastards who will offer a ransom even if they are held hostage!!!!!
“Hmm, the weight of the gold bar is about 20 or 25. If the gold is of high purity and this warm property is added, I’m sure it’s worth at least 5 times the gold of the same weight.”
“Oh, are you hitting that much?”
“I dare to tell you with my merchant career, if you process it, it will be much more valuable.
I just had no intention of selling it as a tray, but I was thinking of selling it as it is if you put a reasonable price on it. First of all, I have no talent for bargaining. Even if there is, it will be about cutting the price of bean sprouts in the market basket.
If you want to bargain with a person who has lived as a merchant for decades, the quickest way is to grab him by the collar and get rid of him. If the other person takes advantage of profiteering, he will treat you honestly, but doing so is no different from a scoundrel without conscience.
“We’ll pay you 7 times the price of gold… No, up to 8 times. Do you have any more of these precious things?”
“I have a few more gold bars, but I don’t intend to sell them all.”
“It’s okay. Please sell as much as you need. We are lucky to be able to deal with such a noble thing.”
Let’s see… One gold bar is 1kg, so if it’s 8 times that, it’s 8kg.
That’s billions of dollars on Earth. It’s money to spend here, but it couldn’t be a small amount.
I was somewhat satisfied with the result, so I nodded and asked for a handshake… However, a strangely unpleasant sign was transmitted from the hand he was holding.
“Why is that?”
“…….No, it’s nothing”
Didn’t I choose the wrong place to sell my gold?
