Episode 327. The hunting dog is separate.
The famous followers who went north went to see the leader at Pungji Mountain.
On the other hand, the whereabouts of the three hundred or so famous believers who went south were unknown.
However, people did not even know that the famous religion was divided into the South and the North.
It is because the famous religion did not reveal it to the public, but also because the Chumilgak disappeared along with the dissolution of Cheonjimaeng.
After the disappearance of Cheonjimaeng, the martial arts world was reminiscent of the Warring States Period.
Unlike the past when the Chilpa-ilmun and Sadaesega were somewhat closed off, they opened their doors wide.
Because of the sense of crisis that they might be eliminated, they accepted those with outstanding qualities as disciples.
The situation was similar for the small breakwaters.
As each faction accepted disciples and tried to protect or expand their jurisdiction, fighting was constant.
In the meantime, battles between merchants over commercial rights broke out here and there.
The problem is that there is no organization to mediate the fight between the minor factions and the upper echelons.
There are rumors that a political alliance is being formed, but for some reason it has been postponed day after day.
Anyone who saw that the famous religion that won the war was relaxed.
They declared Mt. Pungji as a holy place and did not enter or leave the world.
Rumors of human sacrifice have died down, perhaps due to self-restraint in consideration of public opinion.
***
Shanxi Province.
Parish.
Seonnyeoam Temple in Pungjisan Mountain.
A man and a woman were sitting in front of the Eight Emperors’ Mother.
The three Baekdu Horse Soldiers are the welcoming spirit horse Ungjaegwi, the Musan Nangnang Lee Maehwa, and Wolha Seonja.
Woongjaegwi asked with blank eyes.
“Then does that mean there are no more Demon Kings in this world?”
“I guess that’s how it is.”
“Huh! The bandits tried to persuade us by using the words of the Heavenly Demon King. They said that anyone who joined them could become the Heavenly Demon King… … .”
Woongjaegwi, Lee Maehwa, and Wolhaseonja looked at each other with empty faces.
Deep down, everyone wished to become the Demon King of Heaven, but I don’t know what kind of bolt from the blue this is.
Since the Demon King of Heaven appeared in that generation, it was now something that could only be dreamed of in the next generation.
“Hmph! Even if I sacrifice the heads of ten thousand, let alone a thousand, the King of Hell will not descend. There is only one King of Hell in the underworld, and he has already united with me.”
“iced coffee…….”
An exclamation came out of Woongjaegwi’s mouth.
Since the Eight Emperors’ Mother became the Heavenly Head Demon King, the famous religion was effectively completed.
If the peninsula had known this fact, they would never have betrayed their leader.
Lee Mae-hwa shook her head.
“Haa! It seems that only the innocent monks will die because of the greed of the peninsula people.”
When I think about the four Baekdu-ma soldiers rushing to offer human sacrifices without even knowing it… … .
The Moon Princess spoke cautiously.
“Reverend, don’t we need more Baekdu Horse Army to subdue the peninsulas?”
“There are separate hunting dogs to clear the peninsulas.”
“You’re saying they’re separate?”
“The Green Forest’s Yeonjeokha promised to do that for me.”
The Eight Emperors’ Mother emphasized the word ‘promise’.
The Wolha Seonja looked at the leader with surprised eyes.
She, too, knew well what the cult leader meant.
A promise made to a religious leader will surely be fulfilled, unlike the empty words of people.
But why did we have to be rivals?
“He is the enemy of our school… … . Is that okay?”
The Eight Emperors’ Mother smiled faintly at Wolha Seonja’s worries.
“I also know that you destroyed Waryongjang. However, he was Waryongjang’s enemy, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“I may be presumptuous, but weren’t there many believers who died by his hands?”
“The people of the world have died by our hands. If what you say is true, are we the enemies of the world?”
“Oh, no.”
“Is it really the death of Yeonjeokha that you desire? Or the new Baekdu Ma Army?”
The Eight Emperors’ Mother looked intently into the eyes of the Moonlight Immortal.
The moon goddess shook her head in a hurry and answered.
“How can I follow the leader’s wisdom? I only hope to fill the empty seats left by the apostates… … .”
It’s a call to build more Baekdu Horse Army.
The Baekdu Horse Army’s words were known to the Baekdu Horse Army as well, but they had to receive permission from the leader.
“Is there anyone suitable?”
“Yes, among the ten horsemen under my command, there is one who is exceptionally talented, Baek Mi-ju… … .”
“White rice wine?”
“She was the landlady of Waryongjang.”
“Oh. So you accepted someone from a destroyed family?”
“She is a woman who was abandoned by her family and is full of resentment. She came to me on her own two feet and became one of the Ten Horse Soldiers.”
“What is your relationship with Yeonjeokha?”
“I’m your stepmother.”
“That kind of connection is good. I will allow it.”

“Thank you, Master. I am the only one who is honored in heaven and on earth. All three realms suffer, and I deserve peace!”
The monk Wolha held his hands together respectfully and bowed his head.
With the leader’s permission, it was only a matter of time before Baek Mi-ju became Baekdu Ma-gun.
***
Hanamseong.
Opening.
Hwasangchon Namyeon Guesthouse.
Yeonjeokha and Gucheonnodo Simtong returned to the inn with Wol-ah and Geum-ah.
Nam Cho-gyeol could not reject the girls that Yeon Jeok-ha brought and accepted them.
Yeonjeokha owns half of the inn, but it’s also because he’s a master of martial arts.
It is already well known that Sambobang firefighter Nok Dam-pyeong lives in a shack built next to the inn.
The masters of Cheonhwabang and Sambobang also stop by once every four days to say hello.
Of course, it’s all to get Yeonjeokha’s stamp of approval.
But how dare you chase away the people that Yeonjeokha brought!
The only fortunate thing is that Yeonjeokha entrusted the inn work to Wol-ah and Geum-ah.
We were given one more room, but it felt like we had two more hands.
Although Nam Soo-kyung didn’t know, he liked Jeom So-i’s appearance.
It makes sense, since there are cute girls of the same age working at the inn.
Simtong taught swordsmanship to Wol-ah and Geum-ah morning and evening.
At other times, everyone helped out at the inn.
The same was true for Sim Tong, the master of Wol-ah and Geum-ah.
He got a room in the back of the inn and took turns working the cash register with Namchogyeol.
Sim Tong, who became the owner of a liquor store as his life’s goal, did not hesitate to take on the job, saying that it was a similar business.
Yeonjeokha’s work was the same as before.
I spent every day meditating at Hyojaam (Suicide Rock).
Around lunchtime.
When it was mealtime, Nam Su-kyung went to Hyojaam to call Yeon Jeok-ha.
At the sound of the noise, Nokdam-pyeong, who had been dozing in the shade of a tree, straightened his posture.
Nam Soo-kyung approached Yeon Jeok-ha, leaving him alone.
Today, too, I closed my eyes and sat precariously on the edge of a rock.
“Your Majesty, you should eat, right? Your Majesty?”
When I called her twice in succession, Yeonjeok-ha slowly opened her eyes.
“already?”
“Did you sleep?”
“How can I sleep in a place like this? Are you telling me to fall to my death?”
“But why can’t you hear?”
“Oh my! It’s because the realm is deep, the realm.”
“Hey, isn’t it normal to open your eyes at the mere sound of someone? What are you going to do if your enemy is chasing you from behind?”
“If you had a life, you would know. This guy.”
Yeonjeokha got up and shook her butt.
If he was a martial artist, he would have understood, but Nam Soo-kyung tilted his head.
Yeonjeokha, who was walking ahead, asked.
“You haven’t heard from your maternal uncle?”
“yes.”
“How are Wol-ah and Geum-ah? Are they doing well at work?”
“Oh! Don’t be ridiculous. I told you that I was surprised because you did better than I expected. You seem like a descendant of a noble family, but I don’t know if it’s okay to treat you like that.”
“It’s okay. You can use me as much as you want while staying at the inn.”
“I will do that.”
As Yeonjeokha entered the inn, Simtong approached her with a big smile.
“Why are you laughing? It’s creepy.”
“A spot has opened up for a runner.”
“Where?”
“One of the lumber stores in the village is moving to Gaebong. I was wondering if Juru would be a good place to build a barracks. The backyard is also spacious, so it looks like a good place to use as a training ground.”
“How much?”
“It’s three thousand five hundred nyang, but I’ll give it to you for three thousand nyang.”
“Is it cheap?”
Maybe because it was a small town, the building prices were cheaper than expected.
If it had been in Gaebong, it would have cost two or three times as much.
If it was three thousand nyang, it would be something you could buy right now.
“But I don’t know if the village will prosper or not because the village is small.”
Simtong looked at Yeonjeokha with an ambiguous face.
I don’t plan on making a lot of money by running a sports betting business, but I still want to live without worries, right?
“There is no bar in the village?”
“Yes, it’s a very small town, without even a main building.”
“What are you worried about? You’re an old man with only two disciples. Are you worried that you’ll starve to death while living alone?”
“That’s not true, but since you’ve already started, shouldn’t you earn as much as others?”
“Hey, do you want to make money? Do you want to die doing small things you like?”
“Of course it’s the latter.”
“Then why are you hesitating? Tell the lumber shop owner to bring the contract. I’ll buy it for you. I heard there are a lot of merchants passing through Hwasangchon. If Geum-ah plays whenever she gets a chance, the customers will flock there.”
“I guess so?”
“Should I buy it or not? I’ll buy it when I have the money. You know I’m a moody person, right? I don’t know how much I’ll give to my cousin’s wedding.”
“I have to buy it. Of course.”
Simtong quickly got up from his seat.
The thought that Yeonjeok-ha might give all the money to his cousin struck him.
As we were finishing lunch, the owner of the lumber shop came by with a contract.
He gave three thousand nyang to Yeonjeok Simtong and finalized the contract.
The mouth of the person who finished the contract hung on his ear.
He gave another thousand nyang to the man who was so touched.
“It’ll be difficult to just use the lumber yard as a base. Hire a carpenter to do some interior renovations, and make a room for Wol-ah and Geum-ah to stay in. After that, you should put your disciples to work.”
“Thank you, Confucius. I will never forget this favor.”
“Pay me back as soon as you earn it. If you don’t pay me back, I’ll go out to the barracks every day and do evil deeds.”
“Hehehe, you can drink for free, Your Majesty. Come every day.”
Simtong wished that Yeonjeokha would come to the bathroom every day.
Because I want to give Wol-ah and Geum-ah a chance to learn a little more.
“Okay, once the construction is done, take Wol-ah and Geum-ah out. Now it’s time to really fend for ourselves. Don’t even think about coming here and trolling me because business isn’t going well.”
“Your Majesty, don’t you know that the bar and the inn are one body? If my bar and inn go out of business, the inn will be in ruins. You must know that only when I laugh can you laugh too.”
“Are you threatening me now? I don’t want to see you like this, so go and do some construction work on the main building.”
“Yes, yes. Then I will step back.”
Simtong bowed exaggeratedly, almost touching his head to the floor, and then went out.
Nam Soo-kyung, who was watching the two, asked.
“Your Majesty, are you okay?”
“why?”
“There aren’t many people in Hwasangchon. The stores might be expensive, but I think Gaebong, where there are lots of people, would be better.”
“Friend, think about Mr. Shim’s age. He might wait for a suitable store to open in Gaepoong and then disappear. And that old man isn’t interested in making money. He just wants to do something he wants to do before he dies. If that’s the case, it’s better to do it as soon as possible while it’s still fresh in his mind. Can’t you tell when you see me?”
“That’s true.”
That’s when Nam Soo-kyung nods her head.
A man in his forties opened the door to the inn and came in, speaking politely.
“This is Songguncheong, the head of the Jeongju Daerimpyoguk, Samjindo. I have something to give to Prince Yeon of Namyeon Inn. Are you there?”
