Chapter 347 - Seventy-two peaks and twenty-six Rocky Mountains

 

 

 

 

 

 

after lunch.

 

 

 

I went to visit Dosa Bangmu, the manager of ‘Ha Seon High School’.

 

Unlike Dawn, instead of a bamboo stick, he had a copy of the sutras in his hand.

 

“What is it?”

 

“I have personal business, so I plan to visit Namamgung in the afternoon. The palace lord told me to tell the masters when I go to Namam Palace.”

 

Master Bangmu frowned at the word Namam Palace.

 

The person who wakes up at dawn and doesze off, and even snores during the lecture in the morning, is Nam Amgung?

 

Namamgung is famous as a place of hardship even among the shamans.

 

Is it true that there is a saying that all shamans go through Namam Palace?

 

“It’s not training, it’s personal business?”

 

"yes."

 

“Then I won’t ask why you want to go. Anyway, don't think about doing anything in Namam Palace out of haste. People of low realm have nothing to gain from it.”

 

"no. I was thinking of getting some medicine.”

 

Along with the horse, Yeonjeokha pointed to his face.

 

"ah!"

 

A light exclamation escaped from the mouth of the defense master.

 

Namamgung is like a utopia for pharmacists, so there were people who occasionally went to get rare medicines.

 

Looking at the swollen face of a person named Yeon Doo-bi, I guessed.

 

'Tsk!'

 

I thought I was doing something useless until a moment ago, but now I feel sorry for him.

 

“Please be back by dinner time. Namam Palace is a wide and rough place, so it would be better to put in a little effort every day. Being greedy in finding people could put your life at risk. Do not forget that Wudang Mountain is surrounded by seventy-two peaks and twenty-six Rocky Mountains.”

 

“Yes, I know. I will not overdo it.”

 

“Come back before I fall asleep at the latest. If the bed is empty late at night, the masters of Oryong Palace will say that they are going to Namam Palace to find Sohyeop. Please don't let that happen.”

 

"yes."

 

Rather than thinking that talking is annoying, I was grateful for the care of the masters of Oryonggung.

 

Master Bangmu told me in detail the way from Oryonggung to Namamgung.

 

 

 

After a while, I finished the conversation with the swordsman who had a rivalry and left the Oryong Palace.

 

Yeonjeokha, who had just left the precincts of Ohryonggung, turned to one side.

 

At the corner of the hall, Manhwangju was holding the hand of a female practitioner.

 

“Sister, I have something I must tell you.”

 

“Tell me here.”

 

"no. This is something other people shouldn't know.”

 

“What is it? If you're going to talk nonsense again, stop.”

 

The woman, Yeo Hwa-jo, frowned, but was eventually led by Man-hwang-ju.

 

'It's a good time.'

 

Ignoring them and walking briskly.

 

However, the words of Manhwangju and the woman whispered loudly in my ears.

 

It was because of his excellent air power, not that he intentionally listened to it.

 

“It’s about the question-and-answer examiner. how is it? Are you going to call it boring?”

 

“Who are you?”

 

The woman showed interest at once.

 

‘Sheesh! It looks like she'll just let me know that she's a woman after receiving 10 hermits from me.'

 

He shook his head with a bittersweet face.

 

That's what being a man is all about.

 

She gives liver and gall to a woman, but she has no broth for the same man.

 

He smirked and ran forward vigorously.

 

The time you can spend at Namamgung is only half a day.

 

He had to hurry to find the Medicine Buddha within that time.

 

 

 

We turned to the north at the middle of the mountain where we were connected.

 

Originally, the master of Bangmu told me to head for the northern peak again after descending the mountain.

 

However, that is only a word for the sake of practitioners.

 

He excelled in cognizance and flew like a bird from a cliff halfway up the mountain to the other side.

 

And when he reached the mountain opposite him, he ran over the trees as if on flat ground.

 

Papa-papa-.

 

After going for half an hour without stopping, the entrance of the canyon was revealed in the distance.

 

On a huge rock at the entrance of the gorge, three letters, ‘Namamgung’, were inscribed.

 

“Oh, it’s hard. You mean you have to look around here in half a day?”

 

Even though he used a shortcut, what if he had moved as he was told to go?

 

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it could take a year or more.

 

I walked into the Namamgung Palace, Tabaktabak.

 

He said there was no road, and it was indeed blocked in all directions by thick forests.

 

I could see a few vertical cliffs rising above the densely grown trees.

 

It is a peak that embraces such cliffs wherever the eyes reach.

 

'I'll get lost if I do this wrong?'

 

Concerned, the jeokha calmly decided to climb the first cliff on the right.

 

Climbing the cliff wasn't easy either.

 

The couple had to run to and fro between the rocks like goats.

 

His whole body rose to the point where he was drenched in sweat, but there was no human trace anywhere.

 

 

 

Halfway up the peak he found three caves, but they were clear.

 

Still, hope was not shattered.

 

The cave was naturally pierced, but human traces remained inside.

 

The eyes of the Yeonjeokha, who climbed the cliff again, flashed.

 

A fourth cave was visible above his head.

 

When he found the entrance to the dark cave, his entire body, which had been drooping, regained strength.

 

“Yeongcha!”

 

His upper body was pulled upwards with a roaring roar.

 

Finally, upon reaching the mouth of the cave, he inhaled deeply into his lungs.

 

"ha!"

 

The sunset was burning red.

 

Whether or not Baek Il-woon is here, it seems that I have to go back at this point today.

 

He walked cautiously into the sweaty cave.

 

My heart was pounding when I saw the largest of the caves so far.

 

I wanted to meet a pharmacist even if it wasn't one hundred days luck.

 

A pharmacist training in such a harsh Namam Palace seemed to have about Baek Il-woon's ability.

 

But again, this is bullshit.

 

There were three stone chambers, but they were not maintained and were covered with spider webs everywhere.

 

The jeokha who came out of the cave's entrance screamed out loud in frustration.

 

“Pharmacist Nyorai ! Where are you?”

 

However, only an empty echo echoed as if I was alone in Namam Palace.

 

"Is there anyone here?"

 

He still had no answer coming back.

 

‘It’s a pity. I'm sure there are pharmacists, but why is no one answering?'

 

Either everyone is deaf, or they avoid meeting people because they don't want to meet them.

 

The grumbling rivals descended the cliff before it got darker.

 

Having barely reached the bottom, he turned around and left the way he had come.

 

He knew that the road was dark, so even though it was a short distance, his heart was pounding.

 

This is because when he gets lost, he becomes a nuisance to the masters of the Five Dragon Palace.

 

A sigh of relief came out of Yeon Jeok-ha's mouth when he reached the stone wall with the words 'Namam Palace' written on it.

 

"ha! Fortunately… … . nope When will you find Baekilun here? Can I find it?”

 

It is now at the entrance of Namamgung Palace, so it was easy to find the way.

 

But if you went deeper, it would be difficult to come back through the entrance.

 

“I don’t know.”

 

Ripping his wet hair up in sweat, he set off on his way south.

 

 

 

Around sunset, he departed Namamgung, but he could not make it in time for dinner.

 

He informed the master of defense that he had returned and entered the ‘haseongo’.

 

Lee Do-ju, who was reading the scriptures, greeted him with his eyes, probably because it was worthwhile.

 

Then Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong approached.

 

Manhwangju looked at Yeonjeokha's face and asked.

 

“I didn’t see you at the restaurant earlier, where did you eat separately? As far as I know, there is no place in Wudang Mountain that can provide food for foreigners like us.”

 

“If you find a good place, introduce us too.”

 

Cheon Sang-dong was convinced that Yeon Jeok-ha ate somewhere else.

 

Practitioners are always hungry.

 

From the moment you turn around after eating, you will be hungry again. So, I didn't think that Yeon Doo-bi skipped dinner from the beginning. Because I can't imagine being on an empty stomach until morning.

 

"no. I was starving.”

 

"ah!"

 

"Right."

 

Only then did Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong turn their gazes with sullen faces.

 

Soon after, Manhwangju spoke as if he was patronizing.

 

“Let’s put effort into the ‘Jin-Yeok Chamdonggye’ and ‘Namhwa Jinkyung’. You know what I mean?”

 

“Ah, yes.”

 

Probably, the examiner, who was the same as before, said that he liked it.

 

Cheon Sang-dong asked softly.

 

“By the way, Man-hyung, Yeo-so, are things going well with you?”

 

“What’s going on? You're not trying to mix words with me. But why does brother Cheon ask that? Are you interested, too?”

 

“It can’t be. I only asked because I was curious if things were going well with Mann.”

 

He asked, pretending not to know even though he knew roughly.

 

“Who is Sojeo?”

 

Cheon Sang-dong answered one step faster than Man-hwang-ju.

 

“It is Yeohwajo, and she is the most beautiful among the female practitioners. Man-hyung is working hard these days, so don't go near him either. If he did, Mann might start a fight. Pooh!”

 

Cheon Sang-dong laughed to himself at the end of what was so interesting.

 

“Are there many female practitioners?”

 

“Not many. maybe seven? The number is so small that they live in guest rooms.”

 

"ah."

 

I shook my head in a row.

 

Considering that there were 150 male practitioners, it was a fairly small number.

 

Manwangju intervened.

 

“You should give thanks to heaven. If there were a lot of female practitioners, we might have been kicked out of ‘Haseongo’. Since Ha Seon-go was a female seon, it would have been given away as a training center for women.”

 

"that's right. It must have been.”

 

Chen Sang-dong’s voice rose slightly.

 

Then, one of the practitioners who was reading the scriptures from a distance said.

 

“Here, let’s be quiet. If you're going to keep talking, go out and do it.”

 

Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong did not go out this time and went back to their seats.

 

Yeonjeokha also went to the bookshelf on one side and picked out the sutras.

 

I couldn't see the 'Jinhwa Jinkyung', but the 'Juyeokchamdonggye' came into my eyes.

 

'I even received a recommendation from the Uncle Sword King, but I have to learn the proper technique.'

 

If you do not learn because you do not pass the question-and-answer ceremony, there will be no such disgrace.

 

I brought to my seat the book “The Master of the Rings” and opened it and read it.

 

However, because I was so hungry, I couldn't concentrate.

 

'I can't. You should come and eat something. I can't stand it.'

 

he sneaked out of the seat and headed for the restaurant.

 

But he couldn't find anything to eat even though she searched the restaurant and even the kitchen.

 

As time passed, the hunger grew worse.

 

He sniffed like a hungry wild dog and searched the vicinity of the Oryong Palace.

 

However, he searched 10 li in all directions around Wulong Palace, but in vain.

 

Fearing that he would get lost any further, he did not dare to look.

 

He had to return to Haseon, clutching his hungry stomach as he wandered until late at night.

 

 

 

***

 

 

When the bamboo rain fell on his shoulder, he jumped up.

 

A swordsman with a long (about 3 meters) long bamboo stick in his hand passed by.

 

Already, recitations were heard from all directions.

 

The couple, who struggled with hunger all night, opened their eyes to the Pacific Ocean with bloodshot eyes.

 

growl- growl-.

 

Before he even started reciting in earnest, he made a fuss in his stomach.

 

To the point of wanting to chew and eat even the Great Peace.

 

‘Every day is hell. shit.'
