Chapter 66 : Trip
A trip.
It is sothing I had never even thought about once.
‘Have I ever been on a trip?’
From my first life until the present.
I only tried moving forward to achieve my goals.
I never thought about resting.
‘To go on a trip.’
And it is not just any trip.
‘An engagent celebration trip.’
If compared to modern tis, it feels similar to a honeymoon.
They are telling us to go from the cold North Sea to the warm Namman.
“…But isn't Namman from one end to the other?”
It is too long a distance to do that for a honeymoon.
Until now, when moving due to missions, I moved using movent arts replacing training.
If I do that this ti as well…….
‘It would be perfect to be treated as a person with no romance. It is not anything else, but a honeymoon.’
Putting aside the thought of moving with movent arts for a mont, I made up my mind to use a carriage.
“That is right.”
“It is not that far.”
“If you walk, you arrive quickly.”
The Divine Physician and mother-in-law spoke at the sa ti.
“However…….”
“Go and co back.”
For so reason, my father-in-law gave permission.
“Father-in-law?”
“Didn't you say you are not fully healed yet anyway? He is a child who could not even dream of travel. I hope you take him around a lot.”
“For so reason, you are saying all the right things?”
I,Hyeokryeon Yeom, looked back at Seol Ye-rin.
“What do you think, Miss Seol?”
“Travel… I do want to try going.”
“It is decided.”
“I trust the Divine Physician will guide us well to Namman.”
“A-Are you really going to Namman together with us!”
“…It is an engagent trip, but you aren't sending the two of them alone?”
“There must be soone to guide them. We cannot just send children into Murim.”
When my mother-in-law and father-in-law were about to argue again.
It seed Seol Ye-rin looked back at Cheon Deung-jin.
I, who was constantly paying attention to Seol Ye-rin, saw that gaze and looked back at Cheon Deung-jin.
The Young Palace Head of Potala Palace, Cheon Deung-jin, achieved her goal.
It was because it looked like she received the injection of Extre Yin Qi through Seol Ye-rin.
But the problem is.
‘Do I have to send her back alone?’
If I did that.
-How dare you send my daughter back alone?
It seed the Palace Lord of Potala Palace would not leave alone.
‘Then… what do I do?’
Ask her to wait until we return from the Namman trip?
I will take you back to Potala Palace again.
……As if she would wait.
A situation where I cannot do this or that.
“Let's go together, Miss Cheon.”
“…Huh?”
“Looking at it, it seems the Divine Physician elder is following too. If the Small Snow Squad Captain is coming, it ans the Small Snow Squad escorting is following too. I think it would be more fun to travel all together rather than alone. And… didn't Miss Cheon not get to travel much either?”
Seol Ye-rin reached out her hand to Cheon Deung-jin first.
“That is not…….”
“Leave them be. Doesn't it seem like looking at us in the old days?”
It seed mother-in-law was saying sothing to father-in-law, but I did not hear it.
It was because going to Namman seed to be confird amidst the confusion.
***
“Going is going. I should hear clearly about the reason for going.”
Thanks to mother-in-law, the Namman trip was decided, but the one who brought this story up first was the Divine Physician.
After finishing the al, Hyeokryeon Yeom called the Divine Physician out separately.
It was because I rembered the Divine Physician was aiming for the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb.
Seol Ye-rin was also together.
“Elder, earlier mother ntioned your granddaughter, is sothing wrong with your granddaughter?”
“That is…….”
“Since we decided to help, please speak.”
The Divine Physician, Seong I-han, sighed and began to tell the story about his granddaughter to everyone.
It was because he thought I would help only if he confessed everything now.
“She was poisoned by a supre poison. To treat the poison, a spiritual dicine was needed, and I was in the middle of wandering here and there to find the spiritual dicine that could cure my granddaughter.”
As he wandered wherever his steps took him, he said he was in the North Sea before he knew it.
“It is fascinating that you thought finding a spiritual dicine was faster than making an antidote.”
“Do you think I have not tried?”
“The antidote did not work.”
“……I felt the insufficiency of my dical skills.”
“How was your granddaughter poisoned?”
I focused on how the Divine Physician’s granddaughter ca to be poisoned.
“She was… done in by the Poison Palace.”
From the mont I heard she was poisoned in Namman, I was thinking of the Poison Palace of the Southern Barbarians.
Unlike Potala Palace or the North Sea Ice Palace among the Outer Region Murim, there was a place Hyeokryeon Geuk insisted must be recruited unconditionally.
‘Poison Palace of the Southern Barbarians…….’
Even in the second regression life, before I died, Hyeokryeon Geuk had already made the Poison Palace of the Southern Barbarians a servant of the Demonic Cult.
“What kind of connection did you have with the Poison Palace?”
“There is nothing to even call a connection.”
The Divine Physician said he was traveling around the Central Plains and the Outer Regions to let his granddaughter experience various things.
He only told the fact that his granddaughter was poisoned by a certain poison man they t in Namman.
“After that, I tried every possible way to treat my granddaughter, but she did not show signs of recovery.”
“What was the reason you demanded the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb?”
“To detoxify the Poison Palace’s poison, there was a ti I fed her a spiritual dicine full of yang energy during the detoxification process, but that beca more of a poison.”
The imbalance of Yin and Yang began to grow.
‘If so, it seems the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb will be helpful.’
Then the next thing to check is.
“Then who is looking after your granddaughter right now?”
“My disciple is keeping her.”
“…If it is a disciple, a physician?”
“That is right.”
“It must not be urgent.”
“There is so ti.”
“Good. Then I will ask just one more thing.”
“What is it?”
“If I treat your granddaughter, what can you do for ?”
“……!”
Mother-in-law told us to go on a trip to Namman, she did not instruct to treat the Divine Physician’s granddaughter.
It ans, while we are at it.
Therefore, I could confidently demand from the Divine Physician.
What he would do if I treat his granddaughter.
“…Is there sothing you want?”
“I am asking you, elder.”
“You know well that there is nothing free in the world.”
Clatter.
The Divine Physician poured out the tablets he was carrying in his bosom.
“These are the tablets of those I treated that I have collected all my life. They agreed to grant any request if I present this.”
My expression hardened as I looked at the aliases engraved on the tablets.
“Sword Queen, Divine Beggar, Divine Thief, …even Poison Venerable?”
Even the aliases of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens were engraved on the tablets.
“Why did you not ask to treat your granddaughter while possessing the Poison Venerable's tablet?”
“I have to be able to et him to do so.”
He has a pile of tablets, but a situation where he does not know when or who he will et.
That is why it seems he could not even et the Poison Venerable.
“Then this ans it could actually be helpful, or it might not be.”
“That is right. However, I think the most precious thing I can give, next to my granddaughter, are these tablets. If you just treat my granddaughter, I will give you all of this.”
“Knowing my origin… will you really be okay?”
“To an Ice Palace person or a Demonic Cult person, it is the sa from a martial artist’s perspective.”
Indeed, that would be so.
“Good.”
Among those nurous tablets, a few tablets Hyeokryeon Yeom wanted were mixed in.
Especially,
‘I had to find the Ten Venerables under the Heavens sohow anyway, so this turned out well.’
-To find the Ice Emperor’s legacy, that thod seems certainly the fastest.
-You are thinking the Ice Emperor’s tomb exists outside the Ice Palace, right?
Hyeokryeon Yeom nodded at the words of the Sword Venerable and the Demon Queen.
The singularity I ca to know after seeing the Iron Venerable’s secret manual.
The Ice Emperor is at the root of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens’ martial arts.
Therefore, there was a need to encounter the Ten Venerables under the Heavens without fail.
‘Yes. So this ti, I plan to move to Namman via Murim.’
If by chance I et the Ten Venerables under the Heavens, I definitely wanted to ask him.
‘If he knows the martial arts of the Ice Emperor, Seol Cheon-u.’
Perhaps if I speak like this, a reaction will co out.
‘The Ten Venerables under the Heavens from the Nine Sects One Gang and Five Great Clans might not be applicable though.’
First, I had to gather as much information as possible.
Clearly, the Spear Saint said guarding the Ice Crystal is difficult.
Therefore, perhaps there might not be much ti left.
“Thank you for giving them willingly.”
“Please take care of the guide.”
“Is there any place you want to go by chance?”
At the Divine Physician’s question, I looked back at Seol Ye-rin.
Seol Ye-rin, who was agonizing for a mont, answered.
“I… want to see Dongting Lake.”
Dongting Lake.
A pond located in the northeast of Hunan Province.
It is a place that boasts the scenery of the highest peak.
At Seol Ye-rin’s words, the first destination was decided.
***
“Did you pack everything?”
We started preparing for a long-term trip with the final destination being Namman.
“Another long-distance movent.”
“They say we are going sightseeing slowly, not by movent arts this ti.”
“It is what the Young Palace Head wishes. The Small Snow Squad is the Young Palace Head’s escort. Wherever she goes, following is what must be done unconditionally.”
Wi Ji-yeong accepted Baek Mu-yong’s complaint and Eun Bin scolded him.
“About how many tablewares should I pack?”
Seeing Tae Un-seo who was already thinking about sleeping outdoors, the three people shouted at the sa ti.
“You don't have to pack them!”
“Everyone looks very excited.”
“Captain.”
“It is a trip, not a mission! Even if a big problem occurs during the trip, it would be less than a mission!”
At Wi Ji-yeong’s words, I shook my head.
“You must not forget the fact that we are not returning until Namman this ti. Strictly speaking, we are going forth into the Jianghu.”
At the words going forth into the Jianghu, the expressions of the Small Snow Squad hardened.
“The guys who raided the engagent ceremony hall last ti are presud to be martial artists of the Saphaeryeon and the Murim Alliance. And as if to show off, the bastards failed. Can you guarantee there won't be another raid?”
“…I think we were thoughtless.”
“We are sorry.”
Seeing the Small Snow Squad mbers hurriedly bowing their heads, I smirked.
“It was a story to maintain tension. Separately, since it is correct that it is a trip, if there is sothing you want to go or do, speak up.”
“Is there a place you want to go, Young Master?”
Flinch-
At Wi Ji-yeong’s question, I flinched.
“Well.”
It would be strange for soone from the Demonic Cult to go around saying such things.
‘Maybe the Five Great Mountains.’
Mount Heng, Mount Hua, Mount Song, Mount Tai, Mount Heng.
Places chosen as famous spots one must visit when traveling China.
However,
‘Mount Hua and Mount Song would be difficult.’
In the case of Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province, the Mount Hua Sect is located there, and in the case of Mount Song in Henan Province, the Shaolin Temple , the big shot of the Nine Sects One Gang, is located there.
Probably if I say I am climbing the Five Great Mountains, it will be a huge chaos.
Prick up-
“Please tell us if the Third Young Master has a place he wants to go too.”
Seol Ye-rin pricked up her ears, perhaps having heard the story shared with the Small Snow Squad mbers.
“Uh, I will.”
“Miss Cheon too.”
“If you are going to see Yueyang Tower of Dongting Lake … how about going to Prince Teng's Pavilion in Jiangxi Province and Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei Province as well?”
“You an let's view the Three Great Towers?”
A feeling that places to stop by are being added one by one.
Hyeokryeon Yeom looked back at the Divine Physician.
“Please tell us the places we can go.”
“I think transiting through Jiangxi on the way to Namman will be difficult. However, stopping by Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei first and then going to Yueyang Tower seems possible.”
“Then let's move like that.”
“Yes, I think we can go down through Shaanxi to Hubei, Hunan, and Guangxi.”
I had thought that it would be a longer journey than expected.
Watching Seol Ye-rin planning the travel schedule with Cheon Deung-jin and the Divine Physician, Hyeokryeon Yeom ca outside.
Now, in a few hours, we leave the Ice Palace and officially go forth into the Jianghu.
For Seol Ye-rin and for Hyeokryeon Yeom, the aning of this trip was exceptional.
‘When we return to the Ice Palace again.’
I will have beco soone who does not fall behind Hyeokryeon Geuk, who will beco the Young Cult Leader of the Demonic Cult.
