Episode 14. Popular and unpopular (1)
Nokyangbangcho (綠楊芳草).
The new leaves and flowers in full bloom signaled that spring had already begun.
The cruelty of last winter disappears and the freshness of new spring descends upon the world.
The surging energy of spring sprouted buds and energized them.
however… … .
The Moorim Alliance and its affiliated non-academic institution, Moorim University.
Is it only here that such Chunhyang (春香) is constantly sidestepped?
It was still as cold as it was during the cold season.
maybe,
It is probably because the impeachment vote of Jegal Chong and Chun Ki-ja, which will be held in a few days, is predicted.
In contrast, Guernsey, and Jeongju, the seat of the Moorim League, were heating up with a spirit worthy of spring.
The starting point of the heat was the bookshelf, library, and rented bookstore (貰冊房, book rental store).
What they have in common is that they are stores related to books.
In other words, it was proof that the bookstores (暢銷書, best sellers) that hit the bookstores were the protagonists of this frenzy.
Traditionally, <Cheonhyangseo> has always had the highest sales in bookshelves in Jeongju, but this year, Cheonhyangseo was not ranked second, but third.
– 3rd Place Cheonhyangseo
– The standard of the 2nd place board
Last year’s <Standard of the Treasure> held first place for some time before slipping to second place, but it still sold twice as much as <Cheonhyangseo>, which ranked third.
So what about number 1?
The 1st place was beating such a 2nd place by a gap enough to look down from the top of Mount Tai to look down at the far-off Manjangdanae.
If <Standard of the Treasure> became a tremendous firewood in the publishing market, this year’s No. 1 book even poured fuel on it, and the untimely reading craze was roaring with the momentum to burn the world beyond the stable.
The No. 1 window, which is separated from No. 2 and No. 3 with an impenetrable wall, is,
– 1st Place Shin Moorim Seoyeolrok
and,
One of the contributing factors to this is the
It was a green library.
● ● ●
Green Library.
Originally, it was nothing more than a shabby warehouse called Green Window.
The scale of the building was as large as that of a detached palace in the imperial palace, but its dilapidation was comparable to that of an abandoned building, so it had been neglected near the Yellow River for several years.
Then, last year, an anonymous sign took over and expanded and remodeled it into a bookstore, a large bookstore.
Initially,
Are you crazy? What kind of bookstore is that big? Reactions such as “I’ll be ruined soon” were dominant, but as I monopolized the just-published <Standard of Treasure>, it literally took over the bookstores in Jeongju at once.
Is that all?
Green Bookstore not only sold books in the wholesale business, but also entered the rental market (rental market), opened branches all over Jeongju, and soon completely engulfed the entire book market in Jeongju.
The secret is that the library itself provides food and entertainment, not just selling or renting books.
It was exactly what the young Moorim University students like.
Currently, through an exclusive contract with Geumjungjeonjang, <Sinmurimseoyeolrok> was being distributed to Green Book Center branches in Jeongju and Hanam, making money with a rake.
buzzing.
The main store of Green Bookstore is located on the outskirts of Jeongju, along the river with a view of the Murimmaeng.
Even now, the spirited crowd filled the inside and outside without any room for entry.
Moorim University students, prospective students who will enter this year, and ordinary citizens of Jeongju. Even the gray-haired old drummer is trying to intervene by saying, ‘You guys, there is no top or bottom in your school.’
Lately, crowds of people have flocked to the Green Book Center like this once every four or three days. This was the reason for redistributing <Sinmurimseoyeolrok> once every three or four days.
“Let’s sleep! Everyone line up!”
“I mean stand in line!”
The green library doorway servants (clerks) shouted loudly.
However, no matter how much he shouted, the guests lacked various physical skills such as cutting in line, pushing, pushing, and grabbing, and some tried to squeeze into the library using light air.
However, the servants of the Green Book Center were hired only as excellent warriors. You can’t easily break through their impenetrable defenses.
If the servants were struggling at the entrance, inside the library, many bronze-skinned servants were running here and there, and it wasn’t even a fuss.
It was because we had to finish selling books to the customers who entered as quickly as possible so that we could receive the next customers.
First of all, in order to do so, the supply and demand of goods had to be preceded.
Further inside, in dozens of rooms converted from warehouses, dozens of copyists and painters were constantly copying books and drawing pictures.
Everyone was so busy turning their brushes and inks that their fingerprints would wear off, but it was not possible to meet the quantity in time. So this four months is mine.
Is it all?
If it had been this far, there wouldn’t have been such an extreme congestion.
Among those who had gathered, a few furious people had crept into the rented bookstore, seized the servants and bombarded them with questions.
“Is there any way to meet Yongcho and Confucius in person? Please let me meet you just once? I mean that dragon and pae(牌). yes?”
type of appeal.
“No, if the dragon was included in the book, wouldn’t it show its face at least once? Today, I must see Namgung Sohyeop’s jade face! You know that because I intend not to go back if I can’t see it!”
A type of bullying.
“I have all the paintings of monks such as Shaolin Temple, Amipa, and Botaam, as well as Wongeuk Monk. I will continue to buy and collect them, so can you load up on some other great monks as well?”
The type who brings all of the special pieces he has collected so far and shows off his aegyo.
“Cheonsoso! Thousand Soso! Thousand Soso! No, no, no, no! A thousand cows!”
The ‘Chundae-rae (春隊來)’ type of people who gather in groups in spring and use them in groups.
Those who desperately wanted to ‘audience’ the late exponents were indeed of various types and classes.
Among them, white rice is white.
The geniuses of Moorim University, who entered the hall like a comet last year, have become popular ‘new stars’ before they know it.

<Shinmurimseoyeolrok>, the unprecedented large-scale edition and the suppression of the Dongyeong Three War.
Two incidents completely changed the landscape of Jeongju itself.
As the excellence of Baekjae was passed from book to book, from mouth to mouth, and from rumor to rumor again, the recognition of Baekjae was transforming into uncontrollable popularity.
At first, it was just simple reading, but now, one by one, the number of people who lose sleep waiting for the first revision of <Sinmurimseoyeolrok> is increasing and they have come to this aspect.
It is said that even groups of enthusiastic boys and girls who adore a specific Baekjae, called Pae (牌), gather together and professionally idolize Baekjae’s performance.
Even in the midst of that, there were definitely highs and lows of popularity among people.
While there are popular people such as Yongchorang, Namgunggeum, and Wongeuk, who do not know how high the sky is, soaring to the ceiling… … .
Shinsung Cafe is located on the second floor of the Green Library.
There were also unpopular people like Samgoehae sitting in a corner seat.
The second floor was a square with a hole in the middle, and a bar, a guest cup, a rented bookstore, and a teahouse occupied one side each.
“The world’s conditions are so hard on you guys.”
Jang Ki-hoo held a rice cracker in his left hand and looked down at the crowded first floor.
“What, what do you mean?”
On the other side of it, Ki Ki-mong, who had his mouth full of junk food, asked with a round mouth.
“It’s a situation where the lord may have to resign, but no one seems to be paying attention, doesn’t it? Even if it was the Waryonggok guys, how hard did the master try to protect the rights and interests of the people of the small and medium-sized divisions, who were discriminated against by the people of the Gupai and Ohdaese… … Even the guys in Mutual Song are in a hush mood for fear of sparks flying. Not to mention this Jeong-ju, who enjoyed peace in the shade, shit. Does that mean that it doesn’t matter at all who is sitting in the seat of the Murim lord, everyone?”
Alabongdae, who was sitting right next to him, stopped his portable fine brush and raised his head. A look of humor was all over his face.
“Are you jealous because you’re not popular?”
“Zasha, what does it matter if you’re popular or not?”
“Then don’t worry. Originally, the public wants more to see the hero fall down than to see the hero soar. All the more, it is obvious in this yard, which is littered with scumbags claiming to be a newly emerging hero.”
“It’s bittersweet. Even with this damn world, that there is nothing we can do. nice?.”
Jang Ki-hoo, who smiles bitterly in an unanswerable way.
Alabongdae lowered his head again and said.
“It is not. I am just waiting.”
“what?”
“The time when you and I will all gather together. At that time, there will be something we can do.”
“Is that so?”
Jang Ki-hoo looked at the first floor for a while, then turned his eyes toward Alabongdae, which had his head slammed into the table.
“But shit.”
“Yes.”
“What are you writing like that from earlier?”
“it’s nothing.”
“What is it? Let’s see if it’s fun. You know there are a lot of interesting red books.”
“It’s not that dirty.”
“… … Sasha. Relationships between men and women are sacred. It’s not dirty.”
“It’s not like that anyway. It’s not fun to get behind.”
Then, Alabongdae diligently teasing the brush.
The half-moon-shaped dark spots under the eyes look exceptionally dark.
Seeing that, Jang Ki-hoo turned his head and scratched the bottom of his nose.
Because I actually knew. What is this goddamn guy pouring so much heat and energy into?
The same goes for Daemong, who sits next to him and seems to crave food day and night. It was because there was a dark half-moon bear in the flesh under the guy’s thick eyes.
I haven’t seen that guy in a while either, and the reason must be the same as god shit, I’m sure.
It’s been that way ever since they both returned from Zhejiang.
One was living in a bookstore and the half-completed 2.19 million library, and the other in a workshop.
I knew all too well what it was.
Pit and Yoosung are the ones I got to know thanks to him.
‘One guy is making martial arts for a one-armed man, and the other one is making an auxiliary arm for a one-armed man, so it’s really funny.’
The thought of losing an arm suddenly strikes me.
Others say it’s hard to get a true friend after a lifetime.
It’s like losing one arm and gaining both arms.
‘But if both succeed, does that mean that one is useless?’
Well, is that important?
just smile
Jang Ki-hoo deliberately hid that smile and said.
“By the way, why hasn’t Soso come yet? What if he left the treasure here today?”
Jang Ki-hoo rubbed his nose with his one remaining index finger and looked out the window at Jeongju far away. Then, he throws out a word.
“Did he die on the way?”

A branch of the Yangtze River that crosses Anhui.
The late spring sun was beating down fiercely here as well.
and… … .
“Tsk tsk, what a filthy unlucky bitch.”
Just looking at his face, Janghan, who has the impression of ‘I’m the number one’, stuck out his tongue.
Where?
Toward the small boat that appeared right in front of the middle ship on which dozens of them were riding.
In the small boat, a woman wearing a bamboo rib was holding the oar by herself. The slender jawline exposed under her bamboo ribs gave an idea of her beauty and age.
Sujeok 2, who was standing to the left of Sujeok 1, twitched his cheek.
“haha. Iknow, right. It only goes through the big waterways. If that was the case, we wouldn’t have caught him, heck. Do you have to go along a stream like this?”
As the guy said, this is a narrow stream next to the foot of the cliff.
If the mountains had precipice roads for bandits, the water had these rough streams for brigands. Of course, this road was always a shortcut. That’s why, what they just said was nothing more than teasing a woman.
Sujeok 2 released the ignorant-looking blunt weapon from his shoulder and grinned again.
“It’s a snot like that, but it’s on the same boat. Oh no. not hungry? If that’s a ship, our ship is a ship. cluck cluck.”
Are you scared?
The filthy unlucky woman, who was caught by the enemy, pressed the bamboo ribs harder.
“There.”
As the bandits looked at each other, the woman of Jukrip slowly stood up from the boat.
“I’m a bit busy right now, so can you just turn it off for today?”
It must be because it is so absurd.
This time, Sujeok 3, who was standing to the right of Sujeok 1, clung to the hilt of his sword and gave a sigh.
“This bitch didn’t even smell fishy from this milk!”
“Hey, it’s only the dead that smell like milk. Originally, all women’s milk produces frankincense. You vulgar things!”
The woman lifted the bamboo rib slightly and her eyes flashed.
“Isn’t even the number of bastards supposed to be vulgar?”
“Does this bitch dare to play puns against us! Do you know who we are?”
The woman who was caught in the trap, and her milk didn’t even smell fishy, responded by raising her clear pupils a little higher.
“I know. Pirates cousins, gangs of pirates.”
“This woman! Numerous! We are the guardian gods!”
Excited Sujeok 3 jumped up and drew his sword and raised it above his head.
Sseek!
“We are the guardian spirits of the Yangtze River that benefit the world far more than the rotten Murim Meng. … .”
As it is, it flies over the boat! The momentum is rather vicious… … .
“Kwuweek!”
A number that bounces back twice as fast as the jumping speed3. In the blink of an eye, the head hit the side of the midship.
Number 1’s eyes turned towards it, but number 3’s trembling legs were already disappearing into the water.
“Ohh? It’s quite the way.”
A scruffy scruffy man, as if he had driven a ten-thousand-mile boat without changing his clothes. A defenseless state with not a single weapon visible on the waist or back.
Besides, it’s hard to even see it as a pear. Most of all, her thin body, which seemed to be blown away by the wind, was hiding her skills.
So I set a goal and blocked the front, but it seemed to be a master than I thought. To subdue one’s subordinates in a single count.
“quite?”
After lightly bending the knuckles, the woman took out the spear that had been planted in the corner of the boat. Then, raising the corner of her mouth, she jumped up and stood lightly on the tip of the ship’s head.
The new model was beyond praise.
“I don’t care whether you guys are outnumbered or guardians,”
Caught by the enemy, blood on the head… … Anyway, the woman licked her lips.
“Would you release the nannies?”
“Girls?”
The woman tapped the deck with her foot and said.
“The women down here.”
Upon boarding the ship, it was confirmed that the clamor of women could be heard from the dock below the deck.
“Women? what women?”
“Would you like to pretend?”
“It’s Shichimi. The ones down here are just ports.”
“Harbor?”
“It doesn’t matter how many ships pass by, so what is it but a port? Kuck.”
Suddenly, the woman’s molars clashed violently and made a noise.
“Are you irredeemable trash, you guys?”
“Quack, yes yes. Garbage, garbage. What if it’s trash?”
“… … .”
“By nature, all human beings have an ugly nature, child. Everyone is trash in some way. Neither do you. We are simply being faithful to that human nature.”
“shut up! Hhhhhhhhh!”
The woman, perhaps irritated by the languid words of the enemy, immediately threw herself forward. She must have felt that there was no point in mingling with her partner any longer.
but… … .
Number 1 smiled wickedly with an expression as if looking at a ephemera as the woman rushed in front of him.
Kwajajajajak-!
…..
….
…
..
.
After half a cup of tea (half cup of tea).
puck!
The woman fell to her knees at once at the clubbing of number 1. Her face was even worse than the first, and her clothes were tattered.
Tak-tak, number 1 lightly tapped the back of the head of the woman who was wiggling on the deck with a club and made an unpleasant sneer.
“Look at this. Listen up.”
When the woman could not raise her head of her own will, the bandits grabbed her by the hair and pulled her hair back, forcing her to stand upright.
Only then did the woman discover the tattoo under the chin of Sujeok 1, which she hadn’t looked at before.
Spicy Shin (辛), just one letter.
It was a symbol of numbers that was quite famous around here.
“… … Nongshim waterway bonds debt stock?”
“Yes, this person is the gentleman Ho Shin-chun, the fan owner of Nongshim Suho Shinchae.”
Upon hearing the confirmation, the woman felt her breath suffocate.
Ho Shin-chun was not really the gentleman he was talking about himself. As Nongshim Surochae is not Nongshim Suhosinchae… … .
He had never been called a gentleman.
I don’t know if it’s another ‘gentleman’.
Shin Ramyun (辛羅面) Hosinchun.
Severely Spicy Asura.
Like that nickname, he was a fan of Nongshim Waterochae, one of the eighteen waterways in the Yangtze River, which is said to do evil deeds regardless of means and methods on the water.
In particular, it was the number one Hoshinchun who was widely known as a ‘gentleman’ in the human trafficking world, who was known to capture and sell even the soul of a person, whether it be a woman, a child, or the elderly.
“What shall I do now?”
Ho Shin-chun ordered his men to tap the woman’s old clothes.
“Shall I chop it up? Or should I fry it?”
Tok tok, then he patted the woman’s cheek, revealing his yellow teeth.
“Would you like to eat that or something?”
A woman’s face goes white in an instant. It was because I knew very well that those words were not lies.
“no. That doesn’t sound like much.”
not really.
It was too soon to be relieved by that one word.
“I don’t know what to do right now, so let’s get called before that. Soak.”
The bandits rushed right in and threw the woman with goosebumps overboard.
“Hehe, there is no anchor like a human being.”
Even if you are a Murim person who loves raw meat, if you soak half of it in water, you will be exhausted. Moorim Women’s Cooperatives in such a state were often delicacies to them.
with a plop.
After confirming the sound, the bandits were about to turn around when they found something far downstream.
“Which madman is that? It’s not even a boat, do you swim? in the Yangtze River? Chae-joo, what should I do?”
“How?”
Ho Shin-chun smiled evilly again.
“Good luck today. Get it.”
It was the moment when the pirates were just about to move to block the swimmer by moving their boats.
however… … .
“… … What, what!?”
The bandits opened their eyes in unison.
It was because, between the seconds, I realized that everything I just said was wrong.
Papa papa papa pat-!
The one approaching wasn’t a guy, it was a ‘bitch’, and he wasn’t swimming… … !
“Su, award fee!?”
It was running against the water like a torrent.
Number 4 was startled and instinctively pulled out the Bido.
however!
Let alone toss it, someone was already on top of the boat before I could even hold it properly. As soon as she realized it was the woman who had just been running across the water, he instinctively swung her arm around.
but,
with a plop.
Numbers sinking in the blink of an eye4.
In order to live, he instinctively had to struggle with his limbs, but he was sinking. Because the dead cannot have instincts.
Tak-tak, the woman who took care of the water droplets at once hit her feet on the deck and wiped off the water from under her feet. It was so beautiful to see her smearing with the spring sunlight in the splashing water droplets.
A celestial appearance that does not seem to be human.
A woman who looked like a goddess who had descended into the human world, Cheon Suso pulled the rope and lifted the woman who had been tied up earlier, and gently put her down on the deck.
“Did you say that all humans have an ugly nature?”
Unlike the warm sunlight, her voice was cold, as if the winter frost hadn’t gone away yet. All the more so because she already knew the woman who had lost her mind.
“No, you guys are the ugly ones. It’s not human nature.”
Papa-!
Her new look was shaken for a second… … .
It started.
a one-sided fight.
