Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Chapter 297

Episode 297. What bullshit is that?

Kang Seong-jin from the outskirts of Diocese.

Around dusk, Yeonjeokha and his party entered the village.

Kang Seong-jin had about twenty or so households scattered about, making it embarrassing to find an inn.

Tae-eul muttered as if talking to himself.

“Hmm! I don’t think there will be any inn...”

“No. Last time I stayed overnight at the shrine at the end of the village.”

Mu-deok Jang, a free apprentice, swept the surroundings with regretful eyes.

When Hyunmudae first arrived here, they were excited, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

It was an atmosphere of getting some fresh air from the stuffy life of Chiliha Village.

Every time they took a break, the young people somehow gathered and whispered among themselves.

It was also a pleasure to look back on my youth and watch them.

But now they don’t go first.

Taemu asked abruptly.

“Then, should we go to that shrine again?”

Waking up from his thoughts, Zhang Moo-deok silently nodded.

There was no way that a restaurant could have been opened in a month, so of course it had to be.

After crossing the village, a shrine appeared.

Compared to the size of the village of about 20 households, it was so large that it felt excessive.

Jang Mu-deok briefly explained in front of the shrine.

“They say it was a pretty big town a long time ago. I heard that the village shrank through the war.”

Kunlun Samseon, who was in the lead, said, “Ah!” He groaned and nodded his head.

Jang Mu-deok, who entered the shrine, hesitated.

Because it was not managed, there were traces of camping here and there.

To him, it seemed like a sign of the current stage.

Shaking his head lightly, he went to a place far away from where he had stayed before.

After that, the people who came into the shrine scattered and took their seats.

Even if they were scattered here and there, since it was the same space, they could see each other at a glance.

Gucheonnodo Shimtong followed Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon like a shadow.

It was because neither Gwiyeongjagun nor Shisanma had a good relationship with Hyeokmuchun, and they were not naturally compatible with Jangmudeok or Kunryunsamseon, so they had no place to stick together.

Gwiyeongja-gun and Hyukmu-chun diligently went around to gather branches and started a fire.

Not because it’s cold, but because it’s simple to cook.

They took out a kettle and various cooking ingredients from their backpacks without anyone telling them to do so.

It’s a different look from before, when he only carried his share of dry weight.

After the ghost army’s surprise attack failed, the two took on the job of spying.

When the water in the kettle boiled, Hyukmu-chun poured rice, beef jerky, various vegetables, and spices into it.

It was a strange shape that was neither porridge nor soup, but the smell was plausible.

When the cooking was complete, the two brought food to Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon.

“General patrol.”

Youngja-kun carefully offered the bowl with both hands.

Hyukmu-chun also quietly put down the bowl that belonged to Namgung-yeon in front of Yeon Jeok-ha.

Simtong, who had been watching the scene with a sullen face, got up from his seat and walked to the pot.

At some point, Moo-deok Jang and Samseon Kunlun were settling down around the cauldron.

Heart pain had to step into them with a shy face.

Taeeul Seonin spoke with an eye greeting.

“The green food is better than I thought. Does this have a name too?”

“We call it ‘pork porridge.’”

“ah!”

Kunlun Samseon and Zhang Mu-deok looked down at the porridge with strange eyes.

It was fine when I ate without thinking, but when I heard the sound of pork porridge, I felt a bit uneasy.

Hyukmu-chun, who returned at some point, said in a blunt tone.

“It’s pork porridge, so if you don’t want to eat it, you don’t have to.”

Youngja-kun silently poured food into a bowl and walked to a corner.

Hyuk Moo-chun also hurriedly packed food and moved to the side of Gwi Young-ja.

Gwi Yeong-ja and Hyuk Moo-chun could barely get their hands on food while cooking.

“Youngjae-kun, is there something that bothers you?”

“There is no such thing.”

“By the way, the color of your face...”

Ghost Ghost muttered in a voice that was barely audible.

“Tsk! A guy with a gallbladder.”

It seems that he really knows that he is a handyman because he works as a handyman.

The situation would have been reversed if Yeonjeokha hadn’t had the weapon called the Paljuryeong in his chest.

The thought of losing Namgoong-yeon like that right in front of my eyes made my heart ache.

I haven’t even been able to tell her my heart yet...

“Sister.”

“huh?”

Looking at Namgoong-yeon’s starry eyes, my breath stopped and my heart thumped.

“That’s why...”

“What is it? It’s okay, so tell me.”

I felt a little intimidated by her kind words.

It felt like an older sister taking care of her younger brother, so the word ‘I like you’ didn’t come out right away.

But the nightmare pushed his back forward.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been biting my lip for a long time, spoke with great force.

“I like my sister. Not as a sister, but as a woman. For my sister, I will go to the ends of heaven or the bottom of hell.”

“...”

Namgung-yeon’s heart seemed to sink at his sudden confession.

I have always dreamed that this day would come.

But I didn’t know that day would be inside a shrine in such a secluded mountain valley.

Confessing with a disheveled face without sleeping.

Namgungyeon just stared blankly at Yeonjeokha, who hurriedly made an excuse.

“I don’t know how I will look to my sister, but I still wanted to tell her that I like her. My sister doesn’t have to like me, so it’s too much pressure...”

“I like you.”

“yes?”

“I also want you as a man. I like it. I can go to the ends of heaven or the bottom of hell for you.”

Namgung-yeon put strength into the word ‘as a man’ especially for him.

It was carefully considered because he, who is not good at human relations, would be mistaken for a different meaning.

“Ah, so that’s why...”

Confused by the unexpected reply, the serial killer turned his gaze around.

I’ve never dated a girl, so I don’t know what to do next.

“Thank you.”

At the sudden thank you, Namgung-yeon said ‘put’ and laughed.

And thanks to Yeonjeokha, who was more at a loss than himself, he quickly regained stability.

“Thank you too.”

Namgungyeon gently held Yeonjeokha’s hand.

I was startled, but then I firmly held her hand.

Then, with an emotionless face, he clapped her hands together.

Never thought a day like this would come to you!

Yeonjeokha, who was kneading her small and soft hands as if kneading rice cakes, said involuntarily.

“Did you fight well with these hands?”

Namgungyeon, who had been putting her hands on her with a reddened face, quietly pushed him away.

“why?”

“I don’t think I can see Jang Dae-hyeop.”

“He must have gone to shit somewhere.”

Right now Yeonjeokha’s interest was not in old man Moo-deok Jang, but in Namgung-yeon.

Yeonjeokha took Namgoongyeon’s hand again like a hungry lion.

Namgoong-yeon said while tapping his hand.

“It’s been a while since you made a fuss. If it was nearby, it’s time to come back. I guess something happened.”

“What is going to happen? We still have half a day to go to Mt. Fengji.”

“It’s not yet half a day or more, it’s only half a day. If a master like Jang Dae-hyeop runs at full speed, one hour (two hours) is enough for a round trip.”

“You really think that Jang Dahyeop went to Mt. Fungji alone?”

“It’s not like that, but that’s the only place to go from here.”

“Why does Jang Dae-hyeop go there alone?”

“So, from now on, we need to find out where Jang Dae-hyeop went.”

“Where did he go in the middle of the night?”

He openly grumbled when his intimate time with Namgoong-yeon, whom he had a rivalry with, was interrupted.

Heartache quietly sat up.

“Confucius.”

“why?”

‘I heard that stealing, which I learned late, is scary, so do it in moderation and wake up!’

But the words did not come out of my mouth.

“Congratulations.”

“What? Jang Dae-hyeop, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly disappeared. What kind of bullshit is that?”

The grumpy serial enemy raised his voice for no reason.

Kunryun Samseon and Ghost Prince Hyeokmuchun, who had been keeping their ears pricked up since earlier, sneaked up to me.
