Episode 63
Just like a past life
The four young warriors standing in front of the door were very confused.
‘Jinokryong buys food?’
‘To ordinary warriors like us?’
They were not the people of the past who joined the Murim Alliance with the dream of achieving good luck.
Jin Ok-ryong had long felt the limitations of his origins and qualifications, and was well aware that he lived in a different world from them.
“Aren’t you going? Should I ask someone else?”
A young man with messy hair quickly shouted.
“Go, go! I want to go!”
Belatedly, others shouted that they would go together.
Jeong Gwang led Baek Seung-moo and the general warriors and walked forward.
Because the Murim Alliance was very large, I encountered many people on the way to the main gate.
They were ordinary warriors who had not been invited to the banquet, but when they saw the famous Jinokryong walking with ordinary warriors like them, they were filled with doubts.
“Look. “Where are you going now?”
“You said you would buy me food…” … .”
“what?”
It was a concentrate that was evaluated as being more genius than Guryongsabong.
He even became a joint champion of three of the Ten Zones, so what a great expert he will become in the future.
It was a truly rare opportunity to eat with someone like that.
The ordinary warriors whispered with envy at the colleagues who had been chosen by Jeong Gwang.
“driving me crazy. “I want to join in too.”
“Arthur. “Will that work?”
It was a whisper, but Jeong Gwang’s ears heard it in detail.
‘This is it.’
The Murim Alliance was also quite decent.
I wonder how badly they fed their kids.
I felt it when I hid in the kitchen, but it was too much to do.
However, I have no intention of taking them all and buying them food… … .
‘… … for a moment.’
There were a total of six people who originally planned to go to the Ilmi Restaurant, including Jeong Gwang, Baek Seung-moo, and four young unmanned people.
‘No matter how much a person eats, there is a limit.’
Last time, there were two beggars who ordered a lot and I was able to eat everything… … .
It was impossible for these four young men to show as much status as they did.
‘But I can’t just make it happen.’
Jeong Gwang was wearing a fancy uniform given to him by the lord of Cheonghae Castle.
This uniform was accepted by the people of Central Plains as a symbol of the Kunlun faction.
‘If there is a rumor that I left all the food because I didn’t know it was precious… … .’
Kunlun Taoist monks, who know that food is precious, will nag us a lot.
‘But what if you take them all?’
You can taste everything without worrying about rumors.
It might cost some money, but who cares?
Jeong Gwang was rich.
“hey.”
“… … ?”
Attention was focused on his words.
“Let’s all go together.”
“… … !”
Jeong Gwang led the cheering general warriors and left the main gate of the Murim Alliance.
His appearance was like that of a general heading out to battle with his soldiers with high morale.
* * *
“Whoa.”
Is this how a general feels when he comes to attack the enemy and sees an empty camp?
“There are no seats?”
Jeomsoi, whom I had seen earlier, bowed with a sad look on his face.
“I’m sorry that So Shin-seon came again. Because time is time… … ”
Even though it was a little past lunch time, the Japanese and American restaurant was crowded with customers.
‘What is it? Somewhere worth going… … .’
Manhyangnu, which was recommended by Ark, is not open at this time because it is a gyeongru.
‘Then what’s left is Yeonhwa Gaekjan.’
It’s a place I stayed for quite a while so it wasn’t great.
Still, I’m thinking of going there at least.
“I… … .”
The young man with messy hair cautiously opened his mouth.
“I’m a native here, so I know a good place.”
“Is it really a good place?”
The young man opened his chest.
“It’s not a place that sells high-end cuisine like this place, but the prices are cheap, the taste is good, the portions are large, and the people are generous… … .”

“You’re not getting money from there, are you?”
“It can’t be! Absolutely not!”
As I looked around at the warriors, there were quite a few people nodding their heads as if they knew the place.
‘I don’t know anywhere else anyway.’
It’s not just that it’s expensive but it’s also delicious.
Cheap things have their own taste.
Even more so if it’s well made.
“Let’s go.”
“I’ll guide you!”
A young man with messy hair took the lead.
They had to walk for quite a long time.
The further we went, the more shabby the houses and shops around us became.
And where we finally arrived.
‘opening?’
It was an empty lot in front of a small forest.
There were small spots all over it, and it was so small that it didn’t seem like there was even room for a customer.
‘Is this a place that only cooks?’
Around the spot were tables made of roughly woven boards.
Even the chair was made from a stump left after cutting down a tree.
‘A place like this is delicious?’
Jeong Gwang was dumbfounded and looked at the young man with messy hair.
“Aren’t you really getting paid here?”
“Absolutely not! Please believe me!”
The young man’s voice must have been too loud, and a middle-aged woman came out from behind.
She was confused by the dozens of sturdy warriors, but only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the young man.
“son. “Have you brought guests over?”
Jeong Gwang almost hit the young man.
son?
Ah guys?
“hey.”
“yes? yes?”
The young man trembled at Jeong Gwang’s chilling voice.
“Are you selling me drugs now?”
“Nah, absolutely not!”
“You keep saying no. but. “I guess you don’t get paid.”
“That’s right!”
“Because it’s my son. But it’s natural for a son to enjoy his mother’s food.”
A few warriors sighed softly.
Although they received endless love from their mothers, they did not receive delicious food.
But he was not a young man with messy hair.
He puffed out his chest and spoke confidently.
“It’s not because I’m the son. “Mom’s cooking is the best.”
“But I guess business isn’t going well.”
“People around here do not have enough. Now is the time to work hard. “There is no space to step during meal times.”
It moved my heart to hear him speak so confidently.
“Then let’s eat it.”
“You won’t regret it!”
Jeong Gwang turned his gaze to the middle-aged woman.
She looked at Jeong-gwang and her son alternately with an anxious face and was startled.
“hello. Please make everything you can. “They also give me alcohol.”
“yes yes. please wait for a moment.”
“But can you do it all by yourself?”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry because you can make it with your son.”
The young man with messy hair had already rolled up his sleeves and was entering the store.
‘He’s a funny guy.’
Jeong Gwang, laughing, sat down at a table in a corner with Baek Seung-mu.
“Everyone, please sit somewhere comfortable.”
The people hesitated for a moment and then complied.
Jeong Gwang sat on a stump and looked at the sky.
Seeing the white clouds floating in the blue sky made me feel relaxed.
A scenery I have seen many times.
It was Kunlun’s.
‘I hope everyone is well.’
No way.
After repairing the broken Danjeon, Unhu received harsh training from Jeong Gwang.
You will be giving back to others more than you have received.
‘But that alone is not complete. ‘They are not the type of people who will stay still.’
The minions from my past life came to mind.
After Jeong Gwang mastered martial arts, he fell flat on his face, but how tenaciously had he attacked before that?
Kunlun is said to have improved a lot, but the opponent was the Heavenly Demon Church, the single greatest power in the world.
‘As expected, Mr. Pang should become the leader.’
Only then will the Murim Alliance masters be able to be sent to Cheonghae Fortress, and Jeong Gwang will be able to travel around the world with peace of mind.
‘To do that, first… … .’
Dishes were placed on the table.
“Enjoy your meal! “The pride of our store is seasoned beef!”
Jeong Gwang’s eyebrows twitched.
There are so many dishes in the world, but the specialty of the restaurant is seasoned beef.
‘What the heck.’
The young man with messy hair had a very confident expression on his face.
“Is there anything else you’re proud of?”
“As expected, you are the True Jade Dragon. of course. “There is still a lot left.”
He was a young man who exuded the confidence of a top-notch expert whenever the topic of cooking came up.
Jeong Gwang shook his head, then picked up his chopsticks and ate some vegetables.
“what?”
“ha ha ha. “Isn’t it the best?”
“It’s not that neat, but it’s okay.”
“… … .”
The young man, who had been confident just a moment ago, looked intimidated.
Baek Seung-moo, who was watching him from the side, comforted him.
“Sahyeong’s ‘okay’ means it’s very delicious. “I will eat well too.”
Baek Seung-moo really enjoyed the meal.
The young man’s face changed to a confident expression again.
“I’ll keep bringing it from now on!”
Jeong Gwang caught him as he was about to leave with a brisk step.
“hey.”
“yes. If you need anything, please let me know… … .”
“You should also give me meat and alcohol.”
“… … Jinokryong is a Taoist… … .”
“You are not my priest.”
“ah. You were wearing plain clothes. You were a lay disciple. All right.”
“Priests eat a lot. “As much as a pig.”
“haha. “I’ll do it so hard that the table legs will break!”
When the young man left, Baek Seung-moo let out a long sigh.
“execution. “I am neither a lay disciple nor a pig.”
“The priest hasn’t even received protection yet. And what about pigs? Don’t you know that everything depends on the mind?”
“Then, wouldn’t it be okay for even the death penalty to think of beef as meat and eat it?”
“What nonsense. “How does a piece of grass become meat?”
“… … “I will just stay quiet.”
The young man with messy hair and his mother not only had great taste, but were also very quick with their hands.
The dishes came out endlessly, enough for dozens of warriors to eat without stopping.
Alcohol continued to be served, and for a cheap white liquor, it tasted great.
“Wow. “It’s nice to drink it after a long time.”
“ruler. ruler. “You too, have a drink.”
The warriors, who had been careful to behave themselves because they came with Jeonggwang, relaxed as soon as the alcohol was added.
As I relaxed, my vision broadened, and I began to see scenes I had never noticed before.
They were astonished as they looked at the concentrate.
‘crazy! Does that make sense?’
Flashing.
Mew mul mul.
Flashing.
Gulp.
The chopsticks and teacup were moving with a dazzling flash of light.
‘That’s amazing martial arts!’
‘It’s not a sword light, it’s a chopstick light and an afterglow!’
Jeong Gwang just used his hands quickly to secretly eat meat and alcohol.
But people who can’t even guess that fact can only be surprised.
‘It wasn’t just the qualities!’
‘Even eating and drinking are considered part of training!’
A light of admiration began to appear in their eyes as they looked at the concentrate.
I thought I was lucky enough to be born with great martial arts skills and became a master.
Jeong Gwang, whom I personally experienced, was a true warrior who marched forward valiantly without a break.
‘Now that I think about it, my personality seems to be different from the rumors.’
‘You buy me this much, but you never act proud.’
‘Instead, they are eating quietly in the corner for fear that we will be uncomfortable.’
Even the nature of the concentrate was washed.
‘They say people have to experience it to know.’
‘It deserves to be called a real dragon.’
‘but. ‘Is it possible that Manjong could come from among the ancestors of the Kunlun Sect?’
Ordinary warriors had a deep affinity for the Kunlun faction.
He always acts humble and kind, who wouldn’t like that?
‘Compared to him, other prestigious masters… … .’
‘ha. Thinking about it makes me angry again.’
Not all prestigious students were like that, but most of them were arrogant.
As I remembered the neglect and humiliation I suffered from them, gossip began to emerge.
“Do you know anything? These days, the Hwasan faction and the Jongnam faction are having a hard time. In Shaanxi Province… … .”
“Hehe. It sucks. The head of the family screamed loudly at the Namgungse lodgings, and the reason was… … .”
Since ancient times, there is no better accompaniment to alcohol than gossip. Ordinary warriors talked a lot about what they had seen and heard.
Of course, I was conscious of Jeong-gwang and Baek Seung-mu and whispered it low, but even Baek Seung-mu, let alone Jeong-gwang, could hear.
Baek Seungmu shook his head.
“Wow. All sorts of things are said, from serious matters to trivial matters. “I don’t know how you know such things.”
“Of course.”
“Why is that so?”
“Where in Gangho is famous for information?”
“It’s open.”
“Why?”
“Because there are beggars everywhere in the world… … ah! “I understand now.”
Ordinary warriors can be found anywhere in the area.
I see and hear a lot, so I can’t help but know a lot.
Seungmoo Baek reprimanded himself for not guessing the simple fact.
“Wow. I am also far away. Because my field of vision is so narrow… … .”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
“yes?”
“Because if you have power, you tend to ignore those who don’t have it.”
People in so-called prestigious places often don’t even think about what regular warriors do or how they can be useful.
But the concentrate was different.
‘Just do it like you did in your past life?’
From a young age, he was called an evil spirit and had to fight against powerful people.
The only people who could be on his side were the powerless lower-ranking believers.
Jeong Gwang was able to gain many things from them, one of which was information.
‘Let’s save a little bit.’
The thoughts I had been thinking about since I looked at the sky earlier and thought of Kunlun were organized.
Jeong Gwang got up from his seat and approached the general warriors.
“Death penalty! What are you planning to do again? … .”
Baek Seung-moo was shocked and followed along.
Even ordinary warriors held their breath with surprised faces.
but.
Jeong Gwang behaved politely.
“Let’s all get a drink.”
