bad umbrella.

 

Samsinbong.

 

triangular angle.

 

 

 

He naturally melted into the crowd of 1,300 people who came with letters of recommendation.

 

He didn't stand out very much among the 1,300 others.

 

Even though he joined late, he was dressed neatly like someone who just came out of the house.

 

Only Gong Ji-yu and Lim Jeong-young knew that he had passed through the gateway and reached Samilgak.

 

It was past lunchtime, but no meal was served.

 

Yeonjeokha, who was sitting in the back row with a bored face, muttered.

 

“Wow! They don't give you anything to eat. Isn't that too much?"

 

Come to think of it, it's strange that 'Biseungwahae' started at noon.

 

Why start a physically and mentally exhausting test when you are hungry?

 

Then Lim Jung-young spoke as if explaining.

 

“It’s not even serving meals to push people to the limit.”

 

He shook his head as if he agreed with Gongji Judo.

 

"I think so. We haven’t even had a sip of water until now.”

 

Even though it was spring, midday was closer to early summer.

 

Everyone's mouths were dry after climbing up to Samsinbong Peak in the heat.

 

However, the masters of the Soyo sect prevented them from entering the shade, let alone water.

 

Hunger and thirst made the contestants saggy like sauerkraut.

 

Had it been like that (about 30 minutes)?

 

The sound of trudging footsteps could be heard from the side of the triangle.

 

The eyes of Yeonjeokha, who inadvertently looked back, were young.

 

He was Shin Yi-seung, who complained under the umbrella of fire, saying, “The world is so unfair.”

 

Shin Yi-seung, who belatedly discovered Yeonjeok-ha, quickened his pace.

 

“Yeon hyung? I thought it was unusual, but I didn't expect you to come sooner than me.”

 

Yeonjeokha only laughed awkwardly at Shin Yi Seung's words.

 

Gong Ji-yu sneakily asked Yeon Jeok-ha.

 

“Yeon Daehyup, do you know someone?”

 

“Ah, that’s the person I met when I was staying on the left side.”

 

Gong Ji-yu and Lim Jeong-yeong nodded at Yeon Jeok-ha's words.

 

Shin Yi-seung belatedly realized that Yeon Jeok-ha had a party and bowed his head.

 

“My name is Shin-seung, who came from Wonseong. I met Yeon-hyung in the field down there.”

 

I thought the affinity of Shin Yi-seung, who had a rivalry, was great.

 

He spoke loudly for a while, but if anyone heard it, they would know that they were quite close.

 

As expected, Gong Ji-yu and Lim Jeong-young hurriedly greeted Shin Yi-seung.

 

“I am Gong Ji-yu from Yeondaehyeop and Chaoyangseong.”

 

“I am Lim Jeong-young from Wonwonseong.”

 

While making eye contact with the two, Shin Yi-seung's eyes stayed on Lim Jeong-yeong.

 

“Hyung Lim must have been a Wonseong person too. Nice to meet you.”

 

Lim Jeong-yeong, who nodded his head, asked involuntarily.

 

"By the way, looking at Shin-hyung's outfit, it seems that the test was very difficult."

 

Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-yu's eyes turned to Shin Yi-seung.

 

Unlike the clean Yeon Jeok-ha, Shin Yi-seung was a mess like someone who had gone through a tough struggle.

 

He rolled on the ground so much that his clothes were dirty and torn in places, so it was embarrassing to look straight at him.

 

Before answering, Shin Yi-seung glanced at Yeon Jeok-ha.

 

It was strange to see him at the foot of the mountain, the same as he had been when they first met.

 

“I heard from Soyojong that I am the second and last. Out of about 200 people, only Yeon-hyung and I passed. Do you know how much?”

 

Lim Jeong-young silently nodded his head.

 

When he asked about the difficulty of the test to drop, he asked a stupid question.

 

When the atmosphere calmed down a little, the soyojong masters finally moved.

 

Baekje, dressed in blue, opened his mouth.

 

“Now, I will start ‘Viking and Sea’.”

 

He frowned at the words ‘start now’, and Shin Yi-seung gritted his teeth.

 

“That place behind me is Cheonjubong, the main peak of Mt. If you go down behind Samilgak, you will find a road that goes up to Cheonjubong Peak. If you follow that road to Daeragak at Cheonju Peak, the test will end.”

 

Baekje, who had stopped talking for a moment, pointed to one side of the empty lot this time.

 

“There are three types of stone bells of heaven, earth and man. The weight of the ‘Chunjong’ is 100 jin (60 kg), the weight of the ‘Jijong’ is 50 jin (30 kg), and the weight of the ‘Injong’ is 10 jin (6 kg). You are free to choose whatever you choose, but once you choose, you must bring it to Daeragak. If you lose the stone bell or do not reach Daeragak before sunset, you are eliminated. go.”

 

He finished his explanation without taking any questions.

 

Soon, about 1,300 participants rushed toward the stone bell.

 

People with excellent martial arts carried a 100-pound 'Cheonjong' proudly.

 

People who thought they were indecisive chose 50 jin, and those who were weak in inaction chose 10 jin.

 

After about 15 minutes, it was the turn of Yeon Jeok-ha and his party at the rear.

 

Gong Ji-yu said while looking at the three types of stone bells.

 

“Why didn’t you decide on one and choose evenly? They say that everything you do at the temple has a reason. Isn’t it also a test to choose a stone species?”

 

Just then, a man in his mid-twenties who was standing in front of the stone bell interrupted.

 

“You are a great thinker. Ah, I am called Liaofan from Right Enlightenment.”

 

In response to Liao Fan's greeting, Gong Ji Yu slightly nodded his head.

 

“I am Gong Ji-yu from Chaoyang Province. Do you know why?”

 

Then Liaofan took a sneak peek at Yeon Jeok-ha, Lim Jeong-yeong, and Shin Yi-sheng, and got lucky.

 

“If you look at the surface of the stone bell, letters are engraved. One hundred characters for ‘Cheonjong’, fifty for ‘Jongjong’, and ten characters for ‘Ethnicity’. Are you not feeling anything?”

 

“Could it be that the stone bell is instead of the scriptures?”

 

“You are wise. That's right. Didn't they say that everything is a test in 'Unbeatable'? The letters engraved on the stone bell must have a great meaning.”

 

The people who remained at Liaofan's horse rushed around the 'Tianzong'.

 

While grumbling, they carried the 100-pound 'Cheonjong' on their shoulders and left.

 

All the people left around Shi Bell left, leaving only Lian Zehe and Liao Fan.

 

Suddenly, Lianzhihe said to Liaofan.

 

“But why doesn’t this brother take the ‘Cheonjong’ with him? We have a long way to go.”

 

“What can I say, I’m still not sure. Obviously, every step you take upon entering the Cheonjubong Peak will be a trap, but will you be able to break through it with the 100-pound ‘Cheonjong’ on your back? … .”

 

Even if ‘Cheonjong’ was right, if you couldn’t break through the trap, you would be eliminated, so that was also a problem.

 

Shin Yi-seung, who was looking at the ‘Cheonjong’, tilted his head.

 

“Strange. If the letters inscribed on the ‘Cheonjong’ are scriptures, they should have meaning, but they don’t. I doubt whether this is really part of the scriptures.”

 

Only then did people take a closer look at the letters engraved on the 'Cheonjong'.

 

It didn't make any sense, as if it was randomly engraved.

 

Questions appeared on everyone's faces.

 

Is this really a scripture?

 

Liao Fan, who was said to be a sutra, also scratched his head with a puzzled face.

 

Still, Lim Jeong-young stepped forward as an experienced person.

 

“Gentlemen, there is no time to worry. To be honest, the Cheonjubong trap is more of a problem than the Stone Bell. Last year, I gave up without being able to cross the 1000 steps. How about carrying something that fits roughly in your hand?”

 

With his horse, he stood in front of a fifty-pound 'Jijong'.

 

People nodded their heads at his point.

 

Even if the letters engraved on the stone bell were important, if they failed to break through the trap, they were eliminated.

 

In addition, the master of the soyo sect told me to choose one of the heavens, the earth and the human.

 

It is said that 'the type of stone bell does not determine the outcome.'

 

Gong Ji-yu chose the lightest 10-jin 'Jinzong', and Liao Fan chose the 50-jin 'Jianzong'.

 

Shin Yi-seung, who looked surprisingly exhausted, chose the 100-pound 'Cheonjong'.

 

As much as he climbed up after passing through two camps, it seems that he was confident in his inaction.

 

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been thinking until the end, walked in front of Cheonjong.

 

As he picked up the ‘Cheonjong’, Xin Yisheng nodded his head with a meaningful look.

 

Yeon Jeok-ha and his party left with two ‘Chunjong’, two ‘Jijong’, and one ‘Injong’.

 

The party, who was going down the back road of Samilgak, soon met the way to Cheonjubong Peak.

 

Lim Jung-young said with a hard face.

 

"ha! Finally, Cheonjubong. When I think of the trap, my feet can't come off already.”

 

Liaofan, who held the same “bell,” asked.

 

“Is it that rough?”

 

“Last year, I came back from the dead. If I had been forced to go further, I would have died. I heard later that more than a hundred people die every year at Cheonju Peak alone.”

 

"Ugh! If it's not just letters, I'd use 'race' too.”

 

As he spoke, Liaofan continued to look at the characters engraved on the stone bell.

 

In the first place, the reason why I chose the 50-kun bell was because I wanted to memorize 50 characters.

 

Xin Yisheng, who was watching Liaofan's sheep, asked Lian Zihe.

 

“What do you think a hundred letters mean?”

 

"I don't know."

 

“But what are you thinking, so he didn’t choose a stone bell worth 100 pounds?”

 

“I just picked it because I thought it would be better with more letters.”

 

“… … .”

 

Shin Yi-seung looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with half-doubt.

 

Did the first person with the ability to reach the three divine peaks choose ‘Cheonjong’ for just that reason?

 

'hmm. Contrary to what he looks like, he's a prudent person.'

 

He didn't ask any more, thinking it was because he didn't trust him.

 

Did he enter Cheonjubong Peak and climb a hundred paces?

 

Still, Lim Jeong-yeong, who had been a few steps ahead of the party, said he had experience, but stopped.

 

Suddenly, a five-pronged road appeared before his eyes.

 

The last time I went up alone, it was a single road, but I don't know what harmony it is.

 

Liaofan, who was following him, muttered with a puzzled face.

 

"her! Is it a five-way road? Are you saying we shouldn't hang out together?"

 

Yeon Je-ha said to those who were hesitating in front of the five-pronged road.

 

“What are the five? It's a single road.”

 

Lim Jeong-young looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with absurd eyes.

 

“Yes? Are you saying it's out of the way? Can't brother kite's eyes see another way? Here, here, here, here.”

 

Lim Jeong-yeong pointed out each of the remaining four roads.

 

Then, Yeonjeokha said with a sullen face.

 

“Is it just a forest there?”

 

“A forest? Yo brother, is this the way? Is it a forest?”

 

Liaofan immediately replied.

 

“It is long.”

 

“Did you hear? It is a road, not a forest.”

 

It was only then that I realized that all of these linkages were due to the action of Jinbeop.

 

“There is only one road. The remainder is the result of the truth sour If you go into the forest, traps will be waiting for you.”

 

However, Lim Jeong-yeong, Yo-beom, and Shin Yi-seung did not believe it.

 

Anyone would say that such a clear road is an optical illusion.

 

They did not easily accept the word optical illusion because they did not have faith in the underling.

 

But Gong Ji-yu was different.

 

She was the kind of person who would believe Yeon Jeok-ha's words, even if he said, "I made fermented soybeans with red beans."

 

“I believe in the words of the Yeondaehyeop. Kite Daehyeop, which one is the real road?”

 

Yeonjeokha pointed to a road that was far away.

 

“Come on.”

 

At Gong Ji-yu's urging, Yeon-jeok-ha reluctantly took the lead.

 

Lim Jeong-young, who was looking at the two with an absurd face, hurriedly followed Gong Ji-yu.

 

he was attracted to Gong Ji-yu's conviction rather than because he trusted Yeon Jeok-ha.

 

Liaofan and Shin Yisheng also followed Lim Jeongyeong with reluctant faces.

 

Anyway, Yeon Jeok-ha chose the path, so there was no particular reason to reject it.

 

Did you climb the mountain for about 15 minutes?

 

Gong Ji-yu, who was walking shoulder to shoulder with Yeon Jeok-ha, hesitated.

 

The middle of the narrow mountain road was blocked by a red-eye gold jacket.

 

Kkeuk -.

 

At the sound of twisted laughter from Jeok An Geum Je, Gong Ji Yu lost her temper and exploded.

 

“I will kill you!”

 

He gripped her arm as it was about to jump forward.

 

This time, Liaofan suddenly brandished a stone bell and ran into the forest.

 

It was belatedly realized that the party involved in dating had been caught up in the ‘Saengju Yi Myeoljin ’.

 

I hurriedly turned around to see Lim Jeong-yeong and Shin Yi-seung showing their hostility toward the air.

 

He dropped the stone bell he was holding to the ground.

 

This is the second challenge, Lim Jung-young and Shin Yi-seung, who climbed to the top of the Three Gods bare-body.

 

Which of the two should I help?
