The Legend of the Northern Blade Chapter 128

<-- Episode 128: Chapter 1 Everyone dreams of becoming the top (3) -->

Jin Mu-won and his party were able to escape the plateau in about ten days. As they moved through the paths used by animals, their clothes were completely tattered and dirty with thorns. But no one complained that it was difficult.

As he spent ten days with Ha Jin-wol, Jin Mu-won’s eyes became deeper. Ha Jin-wol is the result of acquiring knowledge from a great teacher. Even though it was only a portion of Ha Jin-wol’s knowledge, Jin Mu-won’s breadth of thinking had expanded beyond what it had been before.

Dang-mun Suk-jil and Cheong-in are witnesses to Jin Mu-won’s changes. And whether they knew it or not, they too were little by little influenced by Ha Jin-wol’s thoughts and teachings.

“haha! “You finally got out.”

Dangmun burst into laughter as he looked at the huge plain spread out in front of him. All you see is the horizon. The red soil, made up of sediments carried by large rivers such as the Yangtze River, Min River, Sun River, and Garum River, had the optimal conditions for growing grains.

Also called the Red Basin, it is the largest granary region in Sichuan Province. The enormous amount of grain grown here filled the stomachs of the people of Sichuan Province and became a source of self-reliance. Tangmun also owned a huge amount of land in the Red Basin, and thanks to this, the family was able to continue to exist regardless of foreign winds.

Jin Mu-won asked.

“Can you tell me where this place is?”

“I don’t know the details either. “I guess it’s somewhere on the outskirts of Danpa or Gangjeong, but I’ll have to meet people to find out the details.”

Danpana Gangjeong is a small county located at the western end of Sichuan Province. It was quite far from Chengdu, the center of Sichuan Province.

There is a smile on Dangmun’s lips.

I feel very relieved just by escaping the tedious Western Highlands. As I said, my whole body was screaming after spending 10 days sleeping in a place where I couldn’t even wash or rest properly.

I really missed warm food and bathing. Everyone, including the party members, had the same thought.

“Let’s find a private house first. “If I ate a lot of food and slept in a soft bed for a day, there would be no problem.”

Everyone nodded at the blue man’s words. The group’s steps naturally became faster. Eventually, they were able to find a small village just before sunset.

It is a village formed in the middle of a vast plain. The small village looked lonely, like an island isolated in the middle of the sea.

I had doubts about whether there would be accommodations for them in such a small town, but I had no other choice. It was too late to find another place, so we had to stay here for the night, whether it was porridge or rice.

As the party suspected, there were no guesthouses in the village. Because it is such an isolated place, few people visit, so there is no reason to build a guest house.

A blue man who couldn’t find a guesthouse stopped at a passing villager and asked.

“Is there anywhere in this town where I can stay for the night?”

The village youth who had been captured by the blue man glanced at the group with suspicion. A look of wariness towards strangers was evident on his face.

In response, the party came forward.

“I am a party person. I have to stay here for one night for some reason, so if you find a place to sleep, please let me know. “I will reward you generously.”

“Did you say party gate?”

“That’s right.”

The young man opened his eyes wide.

Even though this place is in a remote area in Sichuan Province, it is impossible not to know the Tangmun. The influence of the Tang family was everywhere in Sichuan Province. Except for the Qingcheng faction and the Ami faction, which were members of the Gudamun faction also based in Sichuan Province, no one could be free from the name Tangmun.

The young man’s eyes suddenly became docile. Aside from the authenticity, I was overwhelmed by the name Tangmun.

“The only place to stay in our village is the village chief’s house.”

“Would you please guide me to the village chief’s house?”

“Please follow me.”

The young man took the lead and walked forward.

Jin Mu-won followed the young man and looked at the scenery of the village.

For a village in a remote area, the houses were in good condition and seemed quite large. Occasionally, people walking down the street were dressed very neatly, and it seemed like they were making quite a lot of money through farming.

The young man shouted as he pounded on the front door of the largest mansion in town.

“Chief, this is Dochun!”

After a while, an old man who appeared to be in his late fifties opened the door and stuck his head out.

“What are you doing at this hour?”

“We are guests from Tangmun, and we need a place to stay for the night.”

“Dangmun?”

The village chief then turned his gaze to Danggimun and others.

“Are you really from the party gate?”

“That’s right. “I would like to stay overnight for some reason, so please allow me.”

Despite the response from the party gate, the village chief did not let go of his suspicions and looked him up and down. Then, when he saw the sword hanging on Jin Mu-won’s waist, he looked a little frightened.

“Are you okay with the house being shabby?”

“We’ve been sleeping in one place for several days. Just being able to rest in a warm place for one night is enough.”

“Well then, please stay at my house for a day.”

“Thank you.”

Eventually, the village chief let the group into the house.

While most houses in the village were wooden houses, the village chief’s house was made of stone. The main house where the village chief’s family stays and the outbuildings where guests can stay face each other with a yard in between, so it seemed like a place where one could rest comfortably.

The village chief guided the group to a separate building.

“Please sleep here. “I will have someone bring you the meal.”

“Thank you. “I will not forget this grace.”

The village chief bowed his head at Dangmun’s greeting and quickly disappeared into the main building.

“Uggyaggya! “How long has it been since you last laid down on this bed?”

The blue man was the first to lie down on the bed and stretch. Everyone smiled at that sight.

“I will wash first.”

Tang Mi-ryeo stood up.

It seems that he was bothered by the fact that he had not been able to wash properly with a woman’s body for a long time.

Ha Jin-wol muttered as he lay down on the bed.

“People who live further away from the rest of the world tend to be more wary, but this place seems particularly territorial.”

“Originally, villages like this are often made up of one blood family. “They don’t like people with different surnames coming into town.”

Dan Dang-mun sat next to Ha Jin-wol.

“It looks like there are still many villages made up of blood relatives.”

“As you know, Sichuan Province itself is inherently structured that way. Unlike other castles, it has a basin terrain surrounded by high mountains, and there are only a few pipes to the outside, and even those are so rough that you have to risk your life.”

Geographical closure made exchange with the outside world difficult, and as a result, Sichuan Province’s own unique culture and traditions were created. In particular, they valued relatives of the same blood.

It is for the same reason that the Tang family is made up of blood relatives who use the Tang clan surname. They had a strong tendency to think that the only people they could trust in this harsh world were family members who shared the same blood.

Dangmun’s explanation continued for a long time afterwards. It seems that I was very excited as I entered Sacheonseong, which can be said to be the courtyard of Tangmun. Ha Jin-wol kept pace next to him and listened.

While the two were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out in the main building where the village chief’s family was staying.

“Ah, you bastard! What are you talking about there? “As long as I stay here, I don’t have to worry about making a living!”

“If you stay here, there’s nothing else to do but farming, right? Just wait and see! “I will definitely become the warrior of Unjungcheon!”

“I can’t go! I can never go! “It’s not a place where you can rub.”

“no way! really… … .”

Suddenly, a young man kicked out of the main building and ran out. He glanced at Jin Mu-won, Ha Jin-wol and others, and then ran out the front door.

Immediately after the young man left, the village chief came running out. He couldn’t think of following the young man and just sighed.

“phew!”

Dangmun called the village chief and asked.

“Why are you doing this? “Is your son upset?”

“Don’t even talk. “There has been a fuss about going to Unjungcheon for a few days now.”

“Unjungcheon?”

“I think I heard a rumor that someone like that pretender is recruiting.”

Ha Jin-wol and Dang-moon shook their heads in response to the village chief’s helpless answer. Because I understood it right away.

Ha Jin-wol asked.

“Has your son learned some martial arts?”

“I studied at a military academy in Seongdo for about three years. “I don’t know what kind of talent he has to go to heaven like that.”

The village chief’s sigh deepened.

According to his explanation, the whole of Jungwon is suffering from young people trying to go to Unjungcheon. Everyone who has a dream of being lucky wants to join the chuck horse corps.

Myeongryusan, the son of the village chief, was one of them. After training at a military academy in Chengdu, he was wandering around, unable to adapt to life in a small rural village.

Myeongryu-san thought of himself as a great engineer. He is confident that if he goes to the place where Unjungcheon is located, he will be able to shake off the evil.

The village chief’s sigh deepened because of his son. Dangmun also sighed.

“As expected, it happens like this.”

Is Myeongryu-san the only young warrior who wants to enter Unjungcheon with a dream of clearing the clouds? There are probably many young warriors heading toward Unjungcheon at this very moment.

How many of them will be able to enter Unjungcheon?

‘Even if you are lucky enough to enter the Unjungcheon, most of them will be used as consumables and then discarded.’

Dang-moon knew Kang-ho’s physiology better than anyone else.

It was almost impossible for an ordinary warrior without a strong background or reputation to enter a great power like Unjungcheon, but even if they were lucky enough to enter, it was even more remote for them to rise to a high position.

Key positions in Unjungcheon were already occupied by disciples of famous Kangho families or outstanding technicians. Once a low-level warrior had no choice but to remain a low-level warrior forever, the path to upward mobility was completely blocked.

Unjungcheon, like Myeongryu Mountain, was not an easy place to simply learn martial arts for a few years in the military service and then take on the challenge.

“I hope I can persuade your son well. “Unjungcheon is by no means an easy place.”

“Why don’t I know that? The problem is that he doesn’t listen to me. To that guy, I’m just a boring country old man. phew!”

The village chief sighed again.

His face looked ten years older than before. Seeing the village chief like that, Dangmun sighed.

‘I wonder how many other places like this are happening besides here. A rumor that came out of Unjungcheon is literally shaking the central plains.’

The village chief returned to the main house with his shoulders drooping helplessly. Dangmun could not say any words of comfort to him.

Ha Jin-wol shook his head.

“If such a phenomenon were to occur in such a remote area, the world would be shaking by now. An external threat like Milya is a great boon to Unjungcheon. “The Nine Heavens are probably rejoicing.”

Jin Mu-won stared at the village chief’s back with deeply sunken eyes.

The wind that moves the times was blowing regardless of place.
