Episode 468:
Beef noodles were delicious.
Of all the food Pyowol ate while wandering around Gangho, it was definitely enough to count on five fingers.
It was Pyowol, the usual source of news, but the beef noodles were so delicious that I emptied the entire bowl.
At about the same time as Pyo-wol, Seon-hye Ki finished all the beef noodles. A satisfied smile appeared on Ki Seon-hyeâs face as she ate cleanly without leaving a drop of soup.
âhow is it? Is it the best?â
âRight!â
Pyowol agreed without hesitation.
he said, putting down his chopsticks.
âNow tell me.â
âyes? What?â
âIâm sure you didnât come here just to have a meal. Isnât there some other reason you bought food for me?â
âCanât you just think of it as a favor?â
âIs it pure favor?â
âAh⦠it is.â
Seonhye Ki frowned slightly.
âWhat do you want?â
âActually, I have something I want to ask of you.â
âIâve told you beforehand, but you canât.â
âThe snake is curious, but it is not very important to me.â
âthen?â
âActually, there are medicines I want to get.â
âWhy are you telling me that? I need to tell the apothecary.â
âItâs because itâs something you canât get by ordinary means. It is a medicine that cures madness, but it is only available in very small amounts in the world. But all of those medicines are in one place.â
âMedicine for madness?â
âyes! It is a medicinal material called Eohyeongcho (éå½¢è). It got its name because the blade of grass resembles the shape of a fish. It is particularly effective in curing madness and is also highly effective in restoring damaged heart veins.â
âYou mean you need that herb?â
âyes! You need it to fix a thirteen-year-old boy.â
âSo please save me?â
âIf there is a chance,â
Seonhye Ki said calmly.
âIt seems to be in a hard-to-reach place.â
âthatâs right. You can never get the stuff that went in there back by normal means. So Iâm asking you. Because I think you can definitely get something there.â
âThank you for overestimating me, but I see no reason why I should be taking the risk. A dangerous place?â
âyes!â
âThen pretend you didnât hear it.â
Pyowol rose from his seat.
Ki Seon-hye hurriedly said.
âThe New Moon Field is dangerous, but you can still save it.â
âDid you say it was the new moon market?â
âyes! New moon market.â
Pyowol frowned slightly.
The name Shinwoljang caught his ankle.
âYou said you collected the eohyeongcho at the New Moon Market?â
âyes!â
âDid you say that eohyeongcho is especially effective for madness?â
âyes!â
My brain tickled.
It felt like a fragmented picture was being put together.
âDamn the disgrace. Itâs clear that someone in the new moon is suffering from madness.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was understandable that they plundered the original Buddhist scriptures in Chengdu, going so far.
It was clear that he was desperate enough to force the plunder even though he knew that Pyowol would intervene.
The question was, who was suffering from madness?
It was clear that he was a fairly important figure, considering that it was not easy to seek Buddhist scriptures or collect fish-shaped plants.
âI beg you. A soldier like you wouldnât be able to deal with it easily at the New Moon Market. Iâm not forcing it, but if you ever meet the head there, ask him to share some of the fish mold.â
Feng Zun did not tell her the true identity of Pian Yue. Even so, she makes this request because she noticed that Poong-jon was paying attention to Pyo-wol.
If it was a warrior enough to be noticed by Fengjon, it was clear that he was one of the best warriors in the world. That is why I am making this request.
Ki Seon-hye was asking for it with pure intentions, but it was burdensome for the listener.
Pyowol said.
âI canât say for sure. But when I get it, I will send it to you.â
âReally?â
âI canât promise you.â
âThatâs enough. Because it is a mother child, a person, a person, and a child.â
âDo you believe in the sky?â
âIf you donât believe in that, itâs a difficult world to endure. Anyway, donât you have to believe in something so that you can hold on tight and live?â
Ki Seon-hye stared at Pyo-wol.
Her hat was pressed so deep that she couldnât see it over her nose, but her eyes were so intense that they could see right through the hat.
âNot everyone is like you.â
âwhat?â
âBe strong, believe in yourself, and donât be shakenâ¦. Everyone lives shaken. There are very few people who live as firmly centered as you do. And all such people stand at the center of the world.â
âYou speak as if you know me well.â
âI donât know. But I think I know.â
Suddenly, Ki Seon-hye pressed her face closely to Pyo-wolâs.
They were so close that they could feel each otherâs breath.
Seonhye Ki lifted Pyowolâs hat and looked at her face.
Ki Seon-hye whispered after seeing the pure white and handsome face hidden under the hat.
âPyowol Daehyeop, right?â
ââ¦â
âThatâs right. I see you canât answer anything. Judging by how deeply he wears his hat, he seems to be reluctant to reveal his true identity. Is that right?â
ââ¦â
Ki Seon-hye smiled and returned the hat she had lifted up slightly.
âIâll keep covering it like this from now on.â
ââ¦â
âBecause other women wonât let you go.â
âyou are?â
âwell.â
Seonhye Ki laughed softly.

âWhoam!â
âThe warm sun makes me sleepy.â
The soldiers guarding the main gate of Soyang yawned.
There was still a long line of people waiting to enter Soyang in front of the door. They waited for their turn every now and then, but not all could fit into the literacy.
Like Soyang, in order to enter a city surrounded by walls, one had to have a clear identity. The soldiers sent only those with a clear identity to Soyang. Either he or only those who pricked the hermit in their pockets were allowed into the castle.
There were a lot of people trying to get inside, but the soldiers checking in were slow.
The soldiers had no reason to hurry.
If you canât let it in today, you can let it in tomorrow.
Those in a hurry stabbed the hermit. It wasnât too late to pass it then.
But even this kind of activity must be done carefully.
There would be no life left if he did such a thing to a high official or a strong master.
Just then, a monster in a dark red uniform entered the soldiersâ field of vision.
Hair that was messed up and a beard that covered his chest.
All that could be seen on the face were two ghastly eyes and a nose.
âgulp!â
The moment they saw the monster, the soldiers swallowed their saliva.
Itâs because I felt a creepy momentum from the monster.
They were soldiers who met more people than anyone else. Of course, I couldnât help but notice.
They instinctively noticed that the monster was an unusual being.
One of the soldiers asked the commander.
âWhat should I do?â
âWhat should I do?â
âDo you just let it through?â
âDo it in moderation and let it pass.â
âArenât you taking a penny?â
âWould you risk your life to earn a few bucks?â
âItâs not like thatâ¦â
âIâll just pretend to check it properly and let it pass.â
âAll right.â
The soldier replied as if he couldnât help it.
Finally, the monster came close.
In an instant, all the soldiers in front of the front door froze. It looked daunting even from a distance, but seeing it up close, I couldnât even breathe properly.
Even though the soldiers were right in front of his eyes, the monster didnât even look at them.
His eyes were fixed on the plaque high above the gate.
âquality!â
Her voice was as dry as her appearance.
The monster strode straight to the castle gate.
âWaitâ¦â
âStop.â
Soldiers blocked the monsterâs way in order to pretend to check, albeit formally.
Fuck!
At that moment, the heads of the soldiers who stood in the way of the monster exploded like pumpkins on the ground.
The soldiers widened their eyes.
It was because the sight of his comradesâ heads exploding in front of him was unrealistic.
âAhh!â
âIt is murder.â
âRun away!â
Screams erupted from people in line.
It was a murder right in front of my nose.
The people who saw the terrible sight of a personâs head exploding went into a stupor.
No matter how easy it is to kill, it was not common to see people die so horribly.
The soldiers were also frozen.
âoh my god!â
âhow?â
At the death of their comrades, they did not know what to do.
Originally, I had to run for revenge. If anything, they would have done the same. But the gap was so vast that they didnât even dare to step in.
said the monster.
âWho else will stop?â
ââ¦â
âI remembered all the faces. If this becomes a problem today, I will find and kill not only you but also all of your family members.â
The soldiers were speechless at the monsterâs threat and only trembled.
He thought that with the shocking power of the monstrosity he had just shown, he would be able to do so.
The soldiers kept their mouths shut.
The leader, who should be in charge of them, also turned his head away and avoided the monsterâs gaze.
The monster looked at the soldiers and moved to the gate.
The soldiers hurriedly opened the castle gate, allowing the monster to enter.
âWhoa!â
âCrazyâ¦â
The soldiers let out a sigh of relief only after the monster disappeared.
I didnât even dare to take revenge or make the problem bigger.
The death of a colleague was unfortunate, but they were just grateful that they were not the target.
The captain yelled at them.
âYou bastards! What are you doing without getting rid of the body first? Are you going to leave it like this?â
âyes!â
âCome on, get rid of it!â
The soldiers answered and collected the bodies of their comrades. However, it was not easy to rectify the body with the head blown off.
Even the corpse of a complete stranger is bound to make you sick, much less the corpse of a colleague with whom you were talking with a laugh a moment ago.
âWow!â
âFuck!â
The soldiers who were collecting the body vomited in vain.
Some sat down and sobbed.
The captain understood those subordinates.
Ordinary people would feel like the grim reaper, but they themselves were like rabbits in front of tigers in front of masters like that.
âShit!â
The foreman gritted it.
Even so, losing his subordinates could not be comforting.
I couldnât even figure out how to convey this tragedy to the families of the soldiers who lost their lives.
The captain muttered as he looked inside the castle gate where the monster disappeared.
âWhat is that monster? For what purpose did you come here?â
It seemed that a thick bloody smell was already wafting from inside the castle.
