Chapter 569 - coincidence and necessity

 

 

 

 

 

 

A huge river like the Infinite River is a paradise for monsters.

 

It was infested with all sorts of monsters, just as wild beasts live in the Simsan Valley.

 

‘Gashimuchi’ that is three pieces (approximately 9 meters) in size, ‘Cheolsuhoeo’ that is only one piece (approximately 3 meters) in size but swarming around, and ‘Eunogwakeo’ that is more than five pieces in size… … .

 

Among them, in the case of ‘Gasimuchi’ and ‘Chulsuhoeo’, they are feared by sailors as they attack and eat people on board.

 

So conscientious shipowners forbid fishing from their boats at all.

 

But most ship owners didn't care whether their customers were fishing or not.

 

‘When the upper water is clear, the lower water is also clear’, and on such ships, sailors lent fishing rods and received money.

 

It's so dangerous, why are you fishing?

 

There are not only monsters in Muryangha, but also fish that can be called treasures.

 

For example, ‘Goldfish’ is over 10 pieces of gold, but I can’t sell it because I don’t have it.

 

Silver Linh (銀鱗魚) is traded for one gold nyang.

 

Even at the school, they said that they could buy 'Goldfish' and 'Silverfish' at high prices.

 

For that reason, there were many sailors who carried fishing rods.

 

Rather than paying expensive money to a sailor and borrowing it, it is cumbersome to carry it.

 

There were many places that needed fish of the infinite river, even if it was not necessarily 'Goldfish' and 'Silverfish'.

 

Even if you sell them to restaurants near the marina, you get more than 10 pennies per dog.

 

The fish in Muryangha are so delicious that every restaurant serves them.

 

As a result, sailors threw down fishing rods without limit because fishing was a hobby, for themselves to eat, or because they needed money.

 

 

 

Zhang Jian put the dried fish in the barrel on a hook and threw it into the river.

 

The fishing line went backwards because the ship was moving forward, but I didn't care.

 

'Feel so good!'

 

It feels like my heart is pierced as I come out facing the strong wind.

 

Although it costs a little money, it is a hundred times better than smelling musty in the cabin.

 

If you are lucky enough to catch a goldfish, you will immediately peel off the scales and eat it.

 

As I imagined what would happen after eating the ‘Goldfish’, the unpleasant feeling disappeared one by one.

 

Half an hour (an hour) passed like that.

 

As the boat entered the center of the river, the people who were fishing began to prepare one by one.

 

The bite was cut off, but it was because I was afraid of a monster that might come out at any moment.

 

But not everyone has stopped fishing.

 

In the world, there are people with a unique mental world who choose to do only 'don't do'.

 

The middle-aged man who was fishing next to Zhang Jian said that.

 

He set up another fishing pole as the boats became wide as the nearby fishermen had evacuated.

 

It is not uncommon for viewers to lean their upper bodies dizzyingly into the river.

 

The man didn't pay attention to the point where he didn't want to die.

 

There is a saying called tasanjiseok (他山之石).

 

Zhang Jian paid more attention to safety the more dangerous he acted.

 

Even so, he is also doing dangerous fishing from the boat.

 

Do-gyeong Han, a worse escort, hinted.

 

“Princess Sam, the water is so deep that you can’t even get a bite, so why don’t you stop resting?”

 

However, Zhang Jian only looked at the river with indifferent eyes and did not reply.

 

Han Do-gyeong pushed a little harder.

 

“I heard that fishing in the middle of the river is dangerous and not even fishermen.”

 

Only then did Jiang Jian reluctantly open his mouth.

 

"It's because I don't want to go back to the cabin. You're not asking me to rest next to Yeon, are you? Could you do that?”

 

“… … .”

 

A bitter smile spread across Han Do-kyung's lips.

 

I just didn't want to be in the same space as the bottom of the line, so I thought I'd be holding a fishing rod!

 

On the one hand, I could understand his feelings.

 

To be honest, he didn't even want to look at the jeokha, so he didn't even look to the bow.

 

It was because watching him flirting with a beautiful woman gave him a sense of inferiority for no reason.

 

He didn't say anything, but it seems that Do-kyung Han did the same.

 

'Hey, resting in a narrow boat with a fishing rod would not save face.'

 

With that in mind, fishing might have been the best option.

 

Because I don't have to worry about the younger brother flirting with the girl at the bow.

 

“Prince Three, never stick yourself out of the boat. We will also take a good look at the water.”

 

“Don’t worry. If the monster had eyes, he would bite that person before me.”

 

Do-gyeong Han and the escorts laughed at Jang Jian's joke.

 

Even in the midst of this, the middle-aged man next to him continued to act precariously.

 

 

 

The word 'accidental' contains 'no purpose'.

 

The life and death of all things and living things in the universe and the world are products of chance.

 

When coincidences overlap, it is inevitable, but even that has no purpose after all.

 

Things like ‘inevitability’ and ‘fate’ are just wordplay by people who like to give meanings.

 

The middle-aged man's fishing rod suddenly bent.

 

"uh? uh?"

 

The middle-aged man's exclamation of anticipation broke the silence.

 

For a moment, the attention of the people on the deck turned to the middle-aged man.

 

Zhang Jian, who had been holding a fishing rod without bait from earlier, also turned his gaze to the side.

 

Before long, a fish the size of an adult forearm appeared on the surface of the water.

 

It was a silver fish that was shining silver.

 

“It’s a silverfish!”

 

“Are you hiding?”

 

"Yah! A silverfish comes out here?”

 

Envy and jealous exclamations flowed from everywhere.

 

People couldn't take their eyes off the silverfish pulled up on the deck as it fluttered.

 

It was the same with Zhang Jian and his escorts.

 

The accident occurred when Do-gyeong Han and the escorts were looking at the silver fish.

 

with a splash!

 

It's the sound of something falling into water.

 

The people who were excited about the appearance of the hidden fish looked left and right with surprised faces.

 

It soon became clear what was going on.

 

"omg! Confucius!”

 

“Confucius!”

 

“I’m Gongja!”

 

Do-gyeong Han and the two escorts screamed madly at the river.

 

However, Jang Jian, who was bitten by the sudden bouncing 'thorn', did not come to mind again.

 

Soon, blood spilled over the surface of the water.

 

As blood flowed from the side of the boat, the crew's movements became busier.

 

It is to prepare for the 'Culture Tiger' that will come in after smelling the blood.

 

Soon, black shadows gathered around the ship.

 

It was the ‘Chulsuhoeo’, a pronoun for carnivorous fish.

 

Sailors waiting in the boat poked into the water with harpoons at the end of poles.

 

Another Cheolsu Hore attacked Cheolsu Hore, who was wounded by the harpoon.

 

A bloody battle broke out between the chulsulhore.

 

The sailors seemed to be terrified that the Chulsoo Hoeo might attack the ship.

 

As expected, the wooden ship could not escape the fight of the iron and steel fish.

 

The boat rocked non-stop with the sound of ‘Kung-kung!’.

 

In the center of the river, a blood-drying tug-of-war broke out between Cheolsu Hoeo and the sailors.

 

The sailors continued to stab the Cheolsu Hore, and the Cheolsu Hore, furious at the smell of blood, crashed into the wooden boat.

 

Although the length of the wooden boat is said to be 10 pieces (about 30 meters), the size of the Cheolsu Hoeo is also one piece (about 3 meters).

 

At some point, the boat started to roar uncontrollably.

 

No one remembered the young man who was taken away from the ship by Kashimuchi.

 

Even Jang Jian's escorts focused on the fight between the crew and Cheolsu Hoeo.

 

 

 

Kong Ji-yu glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.

 

Everyone has a very nervous face, but Yeonjeokha is relaxed as usual?

 

“Aren’t you worried about the Yeondaehyeop?”

 

“Last time, nothing happened.”

 

“I was lucky then. No one knows what will happen if ‘Chulsuhoeo’ starts attacking the wooden boat like now.”

 

“Doesn’t Sojeo Gong look worried too?”

 

Then Gong Ji-yu smiled and said.

 

“Because I believe in the Yeondaehyeop. If the Yeon Daehyeop feels safe, then I am safe too.”

 

I laughed at the her.

 

She is a wise yet strong woman.

 

Even if she believes in herself, there are not many people who can remain calm in the face of a crisis.

 

She is white, she can tell just by looking at Jeong Deok-haeng, who is sick of her.

 

She has nothing to say except that people have different bowls by nature.

 

As her ship swayed dangerously, she secretly raised her gong power.

 

She then placed her hand on her hull and let her nine heavenly air flow slowly.

 

This is no different from putting energy into her sword.

 

If there is a difference, if the sword is about 2 characters (about 60 cm), the ship is about 10 pieces (about 30 meters)?

 

As she wrapped the bottom of the ship with a gucheongi, her shock was markedly reduced.

 

When the sound of ‘thump-thump!’ changed to ‘tong-tong’, the rocking of the wooden boat ended.

 

As she stabilized her posture, the sailors harpooned more vigorously.

 

The bubbles of blood created by the chulsulhoeo moved away from the ship little by little.

 

The interest of the chulsulhoeo was also far away from the wooden ship by that distance.

 

As the chulghoeos disappeared, the sailors returned to their original positions one by one.

 

Passengers who watched with nervous faces went back to their daily lives.

 

Another man sat in the seat where Zhang Jian was fishing.

 

Rather than a person who was eaten by a 'thorn', a silverfish caught by a middle-aged person became a hot topic.

 

Zhang Jian's death was quickly forgotten.

 

Not everyone is like that.

 

Do-gyeong Han and the two escorts gnashed their teeth in the musty cabin.

 

They thought that Zhang Jian died because of his brother-in-law.

 

If Yeon Jeok-he and Zhang Jian hadn't had a quarrel, and if Zhang Jian hadn't been reluctant to be with Yan Jehe-he, Zhang Jian would have participated in the 'Viking and the Sea' alive.

 

At the end, Zhang Jian fished from the boat without bait.

 

The escorts knew that it was an action to avoid being attacked by enemies.

 

A light flashed in Han Do-kyung's eyes.

 

'Yeonjeokha, don't think it will end like this.'

 

He intends to inform Joo Chun-bi, a master of the soyo sect.

 

Why couldn't Zhang Jian participate in his lifelong dream, 'Biseung and Sun'?

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Soohyun Yang.

 

Cape Homi.

 

 

 

Missy Horse (3pm).

 

When the ship that crossed Muryangha docked at Homigot, Yeonjeokha and the other passengers disembarked.

 

I couldn't solve my lunch because I was in a hurry, so I started looking for a restaurant that I had a relationship with.

 

Homigot was smaller than other ports.

 

The number of restaurants was so small that I didn't have to worry about which restaurant to go to.

 

Among them, he entered the largest restaurant.

 

By the time they were seated and ordering, the limit and two An escort of four entered the restaurant.

 

I didn't care about them, but Gong Ji-yu was different.

 

Is it a woman's unique feeling?

 

After Zhang Jian's death, she felt uncomfortable seeing them constantly.

 

“Yeon Daehyeop, don’t you think you run into those people often?”

 

“It’s a small town.”

 

"is that so?"

 

Gongji Yu tilted her head at her ambiguous face.

 

From the moment they got off the ship, the passengers were divided into two groups.

 

The behaviour of a person near a house and a person with a long way to go were different.

 

If the former hurriedly went without looking back, the latter snooped around Homigot.

 

It is to fill a hungry stomach or rearrange essentials.

 

As a result, those who belonged to the latter group went around in groups, going ahead and behind.

 

Since I went with them a little while ago, they must have seen them entering this place as well.

 

did you still come in?

 

The people who were tapping before crossing the river?

 

'It's strange. Why are the people who have been ahead of us so far following us?'
