Chapter 319 – [Isn’t It Wrong to Seek an Encounter in Moorim?]

I once found this Sichuan intelligence organization. If I remember correctly, the Haomen branch was probably located there.

First of all, Yong Ha-yeon and Seon-i were sent to an inn to stay, and they went around looking for Hao-mun.

Oh, it wasn’t that hard to find. This is because I found the pickpocket who broke my hand during the day.

I even broke my wrist, can’t I remember? It’s easy to find if you open your eyes.

“Hello bastard? See you again?”

“Aaaaagh?!?!”

The guy looked at me and freaked out. Although he received treatment, it is evident that he only received a rough bandage. Of course, I broke it cleanly, so if I leave it alone, it will stick on its own.

The pickpocket got on his knees and bowed his head in fright when he saw me.

“Great, great! I’m sorry! No, what happened today…”

“Okay, let’s ask something.”

I threw a hermit in front of his head.

I broke my arm, but if I had a hermit, I wouldn’t have any problems living for a while. Of course, the cost of the medicine is at your own expense.

And that’s the value of the information I give him. Because I don’t think I’ll be sober for a coin or two.

“There must be a Haomen branch in Sichuan, do you know where it is?”

“Ha, are you talking about Haowen?”

Oh, that’s fine It’s a knowing look.

If you didn’t know, I thought I’d screw up some more, but I think I’m luckier than I thought. As he looked at me, he secretly gave his gaze to the hermit in front of his head.

“If I know, I’ll give you another one. You don’t need to guide me, just tell me where it is.”

“………”

People who are greedy for money are easy to wield. This is a fact known to all countries.

Haomun (下汚門) is a door made by people at the bottom of society, such as thieves, pickpockets, or gisaengs. However, as much as that, you know the rumors at the bottom, and on the contrary, you can spread rumors.

There is money anyway, and it won’t hurt much if you spend it for a while, so it’s good to spend it. Spend some money and get them moving.

“That… If it’s Haomen, then the biggest tower in downtown Cheongju, Yeonhwa Hongru (淵花紅樓) would be the Chengdu branch. I’ve heard of it before.”

“Okay?”

It’s not a lie. In this case, one of two things. Either Lianhuahongru was Haomen, or he misunderstood.

There is nothing to lose by going. Moreover, the time is slowly approaching night, so it is the perfect time for Giru to open the door.

“Great”

I threw another hermit. Then he hurriedly took the hermit and put it in his pocket.

Hehe, thank you, be better!”

“Don’t get caught pickpocketing again.”

“Yes, yes, I understand”

But it doesn’t seem like it at all. If your arm heals, you will be caught pickpocketing again, dragged to the coffin and executed, or your arm will be cut off by a Murim person. I, who only broke my arm, actually watched it.

In a world where the fist is closer than the law, if it ended up with a few broken bones, it’s okay. If it was Earth, it would have been bothersome because of the retaliatory crime.

As he told me, I started looking for a place called Yeonhwa Hongru.

The days get darker and night gradually begins to come. The dark side and ugliness of the era, which is incomparable to Korean nights, begin to emerge.

“This air is quite easy.”

Compared to the security of the modern Earth, there is an unmatched level of dimness. At best, the Mexican cartel territorial information I judged will be comparable.

The reason why it is better than that is that there is a munpa that pursues a political faction, so its own balance is maintained. If a group of black swords or sapphires mess with them, they’ll go and kill them. Hypocrites are a hundred times better than criminals.

In this age where electricity is unavailable, the only way to light a fire is fire, and oil is needed to maintain that fire, and oil is expensive.

It’s not that old people sleep when the sun goes down and wake up when the sun rises. A place where a lantern is lit is a place where money is earned.

Mainly gambling houses, and Giru selling springs.

Among them, there are two types of giru, the cheongru (靑樓) for enjoying art and the hongru (紅樓) for selling one’s body. To put it simply in a modern way, it is the difference between being secondary and not being.

“Oh, are you here?”

As the night deepens, the place where the lanterns are turned on, and even the large buildings. If you look for Giru among the dogs, you won’t find a few. As I walked and looked for it, I found a place where Yeonhwa Hongru was written on the signboard.

Giru, a five-story building, has red lanterns hanging on it, giving it a more decadent feel. But surprisingly, no one was soliciting. It seems to attract people by name rather than solicitation.

It adds credibility to the fact that this is the Haomen branch. If it was Hao Mun, it would be easy to spread rumors.

I entered Yeonhwa Hongru. There is also Zion, but it’s a bit difficult to enter a place like this, but it doesn’t matter because women aren’t the goal.

“Welcome. Welcome to Yeonhwa Hongru”

A red dress with fluttering sleeves and a dress that completely exposes the shoulders and exposes the breastbone can often be seen in modern times, but in this era, it is so exposed that only gisaengs wear it.

A woman with an alluring eye smile greeted me and asked.

“Is this your first time visiting Yeonhwa Hongru?”

“It’s the first time. Is there a separate rating?”

“At Lianhua Hongru, the grades of maenangukjuk (梅蘭菊竹) are divided, plum blossoms are the highest grade and bamboo is the lowest grade.

“Then, to Maehwa. Since I’m alone, give me a suitable room.”

“All right”

Bow down while bowing politely. Thanks to that, I can clearly see through my breastbone… To be honest, if it’s not my wife, I won’t.

Even if all the Giru girls here were combined, I wouldn’t be able to match one hundredth of my wife’s beauty. Don’t underestimate the transcendent’s appearance.

The place I was guided up to was a room on the 4th floor. With the soft red lights shining inside, you can see the whole view of Chengdu.

How many tall buildings are there in this era? Maybe that’s why the whole look of the city comes in. The night view is better than modern, perhaps because it is lit directly by fire, not electricity.

“Do you have a child you want separately?”

“Well”

I paused a little and said.

“Then tell Rouge. He said he came to buy something other than flowers.”

“………”

The guide was a little taken aback by my words, but then bowed his head and backed off. It seems to be the correct answer.

After a while, a light drink came up first. Just as the plum room is the highest grade, it seems that the highest price is combined with the highest level of treatment. The alcohol smell is quite strong.

Strangely, it doesn’t seem to fit. As you drink lightly from a glass, the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms surrounds you. Oh, this is fine.

“Excuse me, adult.”

Soon after, the person who entered the room was a middle-aged woman with mature beauty.

A woman who exudes a voluptuous and mature atmosphere rather than a fresh charm may be old as a courtesan, but her charm as a woman still seemed to have not died.

“My name is Lee Yoo-hwa, who is in charge of Rouge in Yeonhwa Hongru. I heard that Dae-in was looking for me.”

“Are you the head of the Chengdu branch of Haowen?”

When I asked directly, Rouge covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed.

“Anyway, it seems that Daein didn’t come to buy flowers.”

“Well, that’s right. Then let’s move on to that story.”

In an instant, I feel a presence above my head. It is the presence of skilled gunners who have been trained and learned martial arts. It appears to be hiding in the ceiling.

No matter how much Haomen was, there was no way he didn’t have the least means of self-defense. Moreover, force is of course essential to operate such a giru. Right now, just looking at Rouge in front of her eyes, she is learning martial arts.

It’s just that work is work, so maybe it’s because I’ve learned that kind of martial arts, but the purity of my gong seems muddy.

“I want to spread some information and rumors.”

“In the case of the former, if the price is right, I can buy it, but in the case of the latter, it depends on the content of the rumor, is that okay?”

“It’s not a big deal, so it’ll be fine.”

The rumor I’m trying to spread is this. ‘The last lineage of Kook Haru was alive!’

Even if I leave it alone, it will spread, but only then will it not give me the reaction I want. I have to guess and move on my own to create an opportunity to say I’m right and make a fuss.

“First of all, let’s buy some information. Do you know about the current owner of Guk Haru, Yang Yoon-chae?”

“I know if you’re talking about Yang Zhu. If you want to know about it, you’ll have to pay hermit Xinyang.”

“It’s expensive”

Of course, even if he is the owner of Gukharu, it is cheap because he is the cook. Perhaps it would have been much more expensive if it had information about the Murim people.

I took out a golden treasure from my pocket and held it out to Lu Zhu. She asked with a smile.

“Then what are you curious about?”

“Something like that bastard’s personal details. Did you get a rough idea?”

“Of course. But if that’s the case, I’ll give you a separate record from our side. It’ll be faster for you to read it than for me to explain it. I’ll have someone bring it to you.”

First of all… Oh, let’s start with Moorim’s history.

I know it’s been decades since I died, but I’m not sure how many years have passed since Yong Ha-yeon died.

“Demon King, Manbyeongwang, Thousand Killers. Do you know about these three?”

“Yes, no matter how much time passes, there will be no Murim people who will forget that name. The names of the Three Worlds under Heaven are absolute masters who are still being spoken about.”

“Hoo”

Three seasons? It has a grand name. No, would a Gray disciple deserve such a name?

If you build up some specs, you will be famous among transcendentalists. This is especially true of Ryu, the Thousand Killer who was my teacher. It’s only natural that his name would be known in such a small group.

“Do you know where they are?”

“It is said that the three seasons of the world were active a thousand years ago. If it was simply a story from a long time ago, it would have been dismissed as a legend. It turned out to be a surprise.”

“Hmm…”

Ah, it’s a story I’ve heard from King of Manbyeong.

Even if it is called Chun Ki-ja’s private residence, it is, after all, a research facility for Gray. It’s like a mage’s dungeon, so you probably couldn’t enter without permission. Anyway, the Moorim people, but everyone knows that they are blind, so they just went through hardships.

Anyway, at that time, King Manbyeong ascended the ranks and met the Jade Emperor, that is, the manager of this planet, and after making a deal, traveled to the dimension and accumulated knowledge. Then he even met me.

But if you think about it, it’s been 1000 years since Hayeon Yong died. It’s been so long.

“It’s been 500 years since that time, but some people are still saying that they are still alive. You don’t know about King Manbyeong, who rode a dragon to the top, but the Emperor of Heaven and the Demon Dragon are supposed to be hiding somewhere.”

“Well…”

This isn’t some kind of Captain America, and he’s back after a thousand years, not decades. At least it’s a planet with restrictions on civilization, so nothing has changed, so if it wasn’t for nothing, I might have come to the future world.

…….Ah, speaking of the future, it’s the modern Earth after all. After all, the base here must be Earth.

“Then, the last thing to do. Spread a rumor. Preferably all over Chengdu.”

“What kind of rumor is that?”

“I mean, Guk Haru’s bloodline still remains.”

Yang Yoon-chae purposely erased my bloodline, leaving behind the circumstances of having eaten with bandits. However, if she has the last remaining blood, she will surely react somehow.

She goes for it and hits her counter. That’s my goal

“…….Do you know that there is a party behind Gukharu?”

“I know that well. But I’m asking you to do it.”

“If you spread unfounded rumors, you will pay the price. The same goes for Daein and our Hao Mun.”

“It’s not an unfounded rumor. I’m really protecting the last lineage of Kook Haru.”

“……..!”

No matter how fast the intelligence is, it is impossible to figure out the identity of Seon-i, who was brought in today, unless he is at the level of a ghost killer. Even more so if time has passed.

Rouge was also quite surprised, so he reacted in his own way. I managed my expression well, but I can see the eyes trembling faintly.

“If you deal with the information, you can roughly guess what Yang Yoon-chae did, right? I don’t intend to leave him alone.”

“But Gukharu is not a formidable opponent. Even if he is ahead of the cause, he can’t do anything without strength.”

“Strength?”

Power makes light! And I feel energized!

Kwak Kwah Kwah!!!!

I blew a blue strong energy from both hands. For transcendents who deal with will, dealing with strong qi is easier than breathing. Moreover, considering the efficiency and power, even if you bring a master of the highest level here, you will not be able to compete.

Pick up an apple that came out as a snack and peel it with a strong knife. Originally, I was a proponent of eating even the skin, but it was a performance of my own armed protest.

Even if it’s strong, if you lack control skills, the apple will be smashed as soon as you hold it, let alone peel it. If you have eyes and a head, you will know how much force I am doing.

“That, that’s……!!!!”

“Will this be enough?”

When I handed out one finely peeled apple, Rouge touched the apple with a surprised face.

“……I understand. Daehyup”

Persuasion (physical) completed.
