Episode 31 – 13. Geumbongnam (1)2017.01.10.
On the first day of the next month, the day of the preliminary service came.
Is it because of changing history properly?
Nothing happened.
My father woke up fine and observed the exam with the children of Oo Village in Mupoongpyo.
I was nervous just in case, but I was finally relieved when nothing happened until the reserve service was over.
On the other hand, I was also anxious that the twists and turns of history due to me continued to accumulate. However, it is not possible to commit the unfilial act of pretending not to know about the death of the father.
In any case, even after that, the reserve service was held several more times.
Although it was precarious like walking on a single wooden bridge between rivers, it never missed first place.
In the meantime, Jang Ki-hoo gradually increased the amount of time he slept, Cheon Xiao-so became more and more beautiful day by day, and Gong Jin-do… … I left for Cheongseong Mountain in Sichuan, where the Cheongseong faction is located.
“This is all because of you.”
The day before leaving, Gongjindo told me.
It’s been said to me every time, but this time it was different.
It was as if the Cheongseong faction or his family had judged that he would not be able to enter Moorim University if he remained here.
In fact, only three people can be sent to Moorim University per year from a senior military officer.
That was also the reason for the rankings, such as first place, second place, and all after the third place.
Gong Jin-do couldn’t keep his word, ‘I’ll delete the word back next time’, so he had no choice but to leave.
If I hadn’t… … .
This year’s passers-by must have been Jang Ki-hoo, Cheon So-so, and Gong Jin-do.
Again, history has gone wrong.
“Next time we meet, I will definitely beat you.”
“Whether or not.”
My answer as always.
No matter what the relationship was in the previous life, the resonance in this life was one of the great stimulants.
He was the one who made me realize the joy of competition. Well, sometimes I was thankful that they just hit me like a sand bag.
Even after he left, time passed and the weather gradually became chilly.
Winter has arrived.
The city of Yongbong is finally approaching.
The time has come to bear the fruit of all the hard work of the past 30 years and since returning.
● ● ●
Woo woo-.
The cold that freezes as soon as the breath comes out.
A cold wave hit Xian.
In fact, around this time, entrance examinations were held not only at Moorim University, but also at Namjeongmuhakdang (南精武學堂) of Sado First Ryeon and Ma Gyotae Academy (魔敎太學院) of Magyo.
Jeongsama (正邪魔), either way, the first gateway to becoming a master, the very starting point was around this time.
Of course, the atmosphere at Cheonbong Military Museum has calmed down to the point of being spleen lately.
“Ah, this, this is an atmosphere I can’t get used to. Aren’t you?”
So far, Jang Ki-hoo, who is almost 6 feet tall (approximately 1m 80cm), said while scratching his butt. I wasn’t short anymore, but standing next to him, I looked quite dwarfed.
“Yumma, let’s level up a bit. I can’t get used to it anymore?”
“Uh huh, if your skills aren’t good, you should raise your eyes. Sasha.”
“It’s tough.”
Certainly it was.
If this guy falls, who will join Yongbongsi? If this guy fails, I fall too. As much as that, the difference between Jang Ki-hoo and my skills was only about a sheet of paper.
“But why are they packing their things?”
Looking in the direction Jang Ki-hu pointed at, there were people packing up just like when they were leaving for a ticket. There were also death sentences among them, but to Jang Ki-hoo, titles were not that important. Whether it was the death penalty or the priest, all of them were ‘him’. If there are several people, ‘they’.
“Because those people hold Yongbongsi in Hwasan.”
“volcano? Isn’t it Jongnam Mountain?”
What a guy… … Being careless is the best thing in the world. The guy who is taking the test doesn’t even know this.
“Mt. Jongnam is Jinyongbong City. Volcanoes are dragon peaks.”
Strictly speaking, there are two types of Yongbongsi.
The yongbong japsi (dragon bird rain test) to raise the warriors of the Murim Alliance and the jin yong bong poem (true dragon bird poem) to screen out the true late index of the political faction.
So, for each province [province, administrative unit similar to our province, jurisdiction over provinces and counties, etc.], two test sites are set up.
This time, the test site in Longfeng City, Shaanxi Province is the Zhongnan Wave and the Huashan Wave.
Everyone is going to pick a horse for the Murim Meng anyway, so you might be wondering what’s the difference between killing and fighting, but… … .
There was a clear difference.
‘There are few people in the midfield who know the difference as keenly as I do.’
Because I was a passer of the Yongbong Jobsi.
It is true that it is extremely difficult to pass the yongbong job exam. However, basically, those who pass the Yongbong Japsi become low-ranking officials of the Murim Alliance or ordinary samurai.
Of course, a few in it are given a chance to go higher, but it is literally like a camel going through the eye of a needle. Maybe it’s more difficult than passing the Jinyongbong exam… … .
me in a past life?
After passing the Yongbong Jobsi, he served for the Moorim Alliance all his life, but wasn’t the promotion of the remaining flyers over?
The difference between mischievous and true.
In a way, it would be natural for the superiors of the Murim League to give a difference to junk and genuine products.
I was soaked in memories for a while and was looking at the candidates at Yongbong Jobsi when Jang Ki-hoo woke them up.
“Ah, that’s right. Well, then it has nothing to do with us.”
Here, Hwasan is over hundreds of li, but Zhongnan Mountain is only a hundred li. Of course, it was said that there was no need to start now because the distance was different.
“Were you guys here?”
I was talking about this and that with Jang Ki-hoo, but as always, Cheon So-so approached me.

“When are you guys leaving?”
“well? Should I be thinking about that already? Do you still have about ten days left?”
Jang Ki-hoo replied in a nonchalant way, digging his nose with his hand scratching his butt.
“Hey, most of the applicants for Jinyongbong City are supposed to leave right away?”
“Ah, isn’t that going as a group?”
“uh.”
“Okay. i will go alone What are you doing early?”
Chen Xiaosoo looked at me this time and asked.
“Priest, what are you going to do?”
“That bastard priest.”
“anyway. When are you going?”
“I will go alone.”
“… … Why don’t you just go with me?”
“it’s okay. If you go early, you can meet the kinsfolk sooner.”
It wasn’t as much as the Volcano faction, but the Jongnam faction’s children also didn’t have good memories. It would be more troublesome if I got involved and another incident broke out.
Heh, Cheon So-so laughed lightly, as if my words were funny.
“but. You guys, it would be better for the safety of the entire military officer Cheonbong if you didn’t go early. If we do something wrong, all of our academy applicants may be disqualified from taking the exam.”
Jang Ki-hoo clattered at him, and was furious.
“Hey, it’s okay. Don’t scratch us for nothing. Because you can go really early and buy something.”
“No thanks? Just do it. I’ll just drive a stake through your ass. Anyway, see you later at Jongnam Mountain.”
After that, Chen Shao-su went to Tian-Tai-Gong.
Cheontaegong and the instructors who just gathered and are watching this side.
They were talking with their eyes.
―You guys, shouldn’t you forget that you are from our academy?
The eyes that are already sure of passing.
The recent atmosphere made Seomseo Manor feel like they were looking forward to it.
Isn’t it the equipment that defeated Yongchorang, the hope of Hwasan? It’s like that kind of glance.
Thinking about it, it could have been a reasonable expectation, but… … .
how do they know That it was thanks to the memories of the previous life.
Well, it wasn’t that he didn’t have confidence, but this Yongbong City didn’t mean he was the only one with confidence.
I don’t know if it’s Jang Ki-hoo or Cheon So-so, who already passed the test in their previous life.
My fate was still undecided.
variable.
Because it was not yet known what variables would intervene.

Seven days and nights (七晝夜, 7 days).
After finishing this and that, it was not long before Yongbong.
Three days until the exam.
If I leave the house now, I will be able to cross the prose of Jongnampa by this evening. I thought it would be right to leave for a day or two in preparation for an emergency, so I came forward now.
Before leaving, I checked the status window one last time.
Strength: 99 [85.3% (85%)]
I still train intensively, and the shame is strength.
‘after-. It’s really dirty and it doesn’t go up.’
A considerable amount of time has passed since the Black Death incident, but the strength level is still 99.
If you cross this wall, it’s obvious that a new stage will open. It was too hard to get over that wall.
A situation that requires special measures.
However, now is the time to focus all your attention on Yongbong.
‘I guess I’ll have to start soon.’
Before that, I opened the warehouse thinking that I should check my luggage one last time.
“We open the warehouse.”
Para-la-la-la-rock.
With the sound, the surrounding scenery was erased and a pure white world unfolded before my eyes. Thanks to the free storage space expansion thanks to the North Ri Gyeong-hon last time, the number of radiations extending in all directions centered on me increased to 20.
In the space created between the lines, my objects were placed one by one.
In fact, this was the main reason why he didn’t leave like Cheon So-so and others.
There was certainly a desire to stay and finish training here, but why go with the other kids when you can carry your luggage so comfortably?
If you go alone, it’s no better than just walking naked like this. I don’t know if it’s possible to train by carrying this burden.
I put my eyes on the box marked 1.
Then, a heavy load was placed under his feet. I packed it up meticulously last night, but I double-checked it.
Would you like to take the [Bag] out of the Inventory?
[Yes No]
I was annoyed that this phrase kept popping up, but it didn’t matter too much.
2, 3, 4, … … .
I checked things one by one.
While I was doing that, I suddenly heard a sound.
“Nyaaaaaong~”
Juju’s cries, and the feeling of the guy’s face rubbing my feet.
“Close the warehouse.”
Woo woo woo woo-.
As the place gets dark, the surrounding scenery comes back to life in an instant.
“Nyan~”
Juju, who had grown to the point where I was afraid to take him out, was scratching my pants.
My head automatically heads toward the guy’s keg.
just as expected. It was empty.
“Oooh! This jukyung bastard! Have you finished drinking already?”
Just yesterday I had a full bottle of alcohol!
However, I filled the keg again while ruffling his hair. When the keg was full, I just tried to stand up… … .
In just a moment, I felt that way.
Can’t you put it in storage?
‘Ah, no. Haven’t you tried it already?’
In case it went wrong, I experimented with putting insects or something in the storage, but living things didn’t go into the storage. So, I had completely forgotten about this problem, but a question that came up again after a long time.
‘No way, maybe, maybe, maybe… … . where once… … ?’
The moment when you think that far!
― According to the owner’s will, [Spiritual Object: Juju] is put into the inventory.
‘uh!?’
I hurriedly opened the warehouse, and he was indeed in it.
‘Is this for real?’
It worked, but it was different from the stuff, so he was stirring all over the inside of the warehouse.
I didn’t know what to do, I was staring at it blankly when I heard my father’s voice.
“Are you leaving now?”
I responded as I quickly closed the warehouse.
“Yes, Father.”
“By the way, where are all your luggage?”
“… … haha. I left it in the Cheonbong Military Museum.”
“I see.”
As if he had said everything, his father turned back toward the room.
Then he turns his head again.
“By the way, where are the shareholders?”
“… … haha. Shareholders are also in Cheonbong Military Museum. I’m going to let you see the outside world at least once this time.”
“okay? heh heh heh That’s a great idea. Well, unlike a cat, he likes to go for walks. Don’t forget to drink on time.”
“yes.”
“Then have a good trip.”
A short greeting.
My father must know what I am going to Jongnamsan Mountain for. … .
The moment when I thought it was a pity to just ask the shareholders’ regards and end it.
My eyes caught my father’s hand, restlessly opening and closing.
Fisik, then yes.
“father.”
“Why?”
“I tried hard enough not to be betrayed by my efforts. So don’t worry.”
“Inum, who said that he was worried?”
My father makes a loud noise and goes back into the room.
You look cute when you look like that.
I wonder why I didn’t know about this before.
‘Live for a long time now. Inum will make my father’s dream come true.’
I smiled lightly and left the house.
Of course, without going to Tianfeng Military Museum to pick up my luggage or to pick up Zhu, I headed straight to the South Gate of Xi’an.
● ● ●
Xian South Gate.
As the name suggests, it was the southern gate of Xianseong.
chatter.
Even though it was early in the morning, the gates were quite crowded.
It was all because of Yongbongsi. People from the north, east, and west, excluding the south, flocked here because the road through this gate was the fastest way to Jongnam Mountain.
The Xi’an government also knew that this happened every year around this time.
Therefore, the passage for taxation opened next to the gate was given to the candidates of Yongbong City only at this time.
Senior military cadets from all over the island.
With tense faces, they were passing through the tax passage without rest. I was passing through the south gate among them. However, by the time they passed through the south gate, the road split into two.
‘huh? what? Is it a person?’
For some reason, an old man was lying on the ground at the end of the south gate tax passage.
Lv. 1 [Geumbongnam]
120 years old.
Strength: 12
Stamina: 17
Agility: 9
Energy: 0 years
A 120-year-old old man who would die without lasting a few hours if left alone this winter.
Is it because Yongbong City is only three days away? Or is human heart originally like that?
The spectators just calmly passed the road. One or two seemed to be talking to the old man, but in the end they shook their heads and left for Mt. Jongnam.
It must be because he judged that the time was too short to rescue the old man and go.
“after… … .”
My breath mingled with the air of the castle gates.
Then, without much hesitation, he approached the old man.
I squatted down and put my hand on the body of the old man who was lying down with my eyes closed.
Then the old man looked this way.
Seeing it up close, an old man with a more pathetic appearance.
“I’ll do it. If you sleep like this here, will your mouth go back?”
“What are you?”
“Me? Other than the passers-by who are on the way to take the exam.”
“Then what are you bothering about going to the exam?”
“Because I’m so nice… … It’s not, but it’s because I think it’ll be uncomfortable if I just go on like this. Where is your house?”
“Why is my house?”
“If I can, I will take you there and take the test.”
At those words, a smirk appeared in the old man’s eyes.
“okay? Then, are you going to be uncomfortable for once?”
“… … ?”
“Let’s go to Jongnam Mountain.”
That moment.
belt ring.

shit.
“If you don’t want to do it, just say it. Why are you laughing badly?”
why are you laughing
“It’s not that I feel bad,”
I raised one side of my lips while looking at Geumbongnam, who seemed sly for some reason.
“Well, I want to get the best of both worlds.”
