Taejonbirok Volume 10 Episode 23

Chapter 62 Laziness, Dangerous (3)

Wi Yeon-ho shivered as he looked at the food being served in front of him.

'Where is this? Is this heaven?'

Among the food served in front of him now, there wasn't anything particularly fancy or expensive that he wouldn't be able to eat even if he paid for it.

But what should I say?

'Oh my god, I can eat normal food here.'

A grilled fish that is nothing at the seaside is more precious than beef on the mountaintop. And this is the most difficult mountaintop, the top of a volcano.

There is a saying that the reason volcanoes have such good stamina is because they have to carry rice from the bottom of the mountain to the main mountain once a month.

The path up the volcano was so treacherous that there were even rumors that people who entered the mountain without knowing anything would carry some food and then run away in the middle of the night or leave the mountain.

It was a miracle to see food like this on top of such a volcano.

“What is all this?”

“Of course it’s food.”

“If you don’t have eyes so you can’t see, and you don’t have a nose so you can’t smell, then you know it’s food. But what does this mean?”

Ho-cheol-san smiled brightly after seeing Wi-yeon-ho’s reaction.

'It works.'

When he went to the room, Wei Yeon-ho, who had responded with, “Everything is annoying, so if you don’t get out right now, I’ll kick your butt… … But who are you?” showed a look of agreement when he said that a banquet was prepared, and followed him all the way here.

'Well, that's not surprising.'

The food provided by the volcano was nutritionally perfect. And as always, nutritionally perfect food is usually complete garbage in terms of taste.

No wonder even Hocheolsan eats Byeokgokdan as his staple food instead of the food provided by the volcano.

The best tasting food here was rice cakes made by grinding grains and forming them into balls.

I even thought that the reason why Hwasan had a more secular nature compared to Taoists like Mudang and Cheongseong was because life at the main temple was so difficult.

“……You brought all this?”

"yes."

“From below?”

“Of course.”

Wi Yeon-ho's eyes wavered.

Even Wi Yeon-ho, who had jumped down the cliff with his bare body, could not bring himself to descend the volcano after experiencing climbing it on his own two feet. This was because the nutrients he had stored up were all lost as he climbed the mountain, and when he reached the top, he was even hungrier, a hellish experience.

No matter how much I wanted to eat human food, I realized that it was not right to go down on my own. There was a reason why the people living here silently endured the diet that rabbits covet.

But, you can eat the food at the bottom of the mountain while sitting in one place. Wei Yanhu pinched his cheek in astonishment.

“Is this a dream?”

“It's reality.”

“It’s so unrealistic. I never thought something like this could happen…….”

Ho-cheol-san smiled brightly as he watched Wi-yeon-ho’s reaction.

'I didn't know it would be this effective.'

Although I poured a lot of money into the beggar, it was a moment that felt rewarding.

'But even so, it's still a bit strange.'

Ho-cheol-san narrowed his eyebrows slightly and opened his mouth.

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“Yes. You can ask two questions.”

“Then I will be rude. I usually thought that the higher the level of martial arts, the more distant one becomes from desires and reality. As one’s martial arts become stronger, don’t greed and obsession disappear?”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“To put it simply, as your level of ignorance increases, your desires will decrease, but I find it surprising that Master Wi Yeon-ho still enjoys eating and drinking.”

“Oh, that’s it.”

Wi Yeon-ho said as if it was no big deal.

“That’s a joke.”

"……yes?"

“I don’t know where that rumor came from, but the strongest person I know was the embodiment of desire.”

Ho-cheol-san's eyes trembled slightly.

“If you think about it logically, if the stronger you become, the less your desires decrease, then there shouldn’t have been crazy guys coming out every once in a while and causing a scene, saying they’ll conquer the world.”

“That’s true.”

Ho-cheol-san nodded.

“Anyway, these are the foods I prepared for the above meeting.”

Wi Yeon-ho asked with a slightly sullen face.

“But can I eat this?”

“Hahaha, of course.”

“The Master said that we should be wary of those who do favors without reason. He said that even if people have a million dollars, they would not hesitate to work hard to pick up a penny that falls from their pockets. He said that there is no such thing as unjust favors in the world.”

Ho-cheol-san couldn't help but be troubled as he listened to Wi Yeon-ho's words.

Was it because Wi Yeon-ho was born with a bad personality that he became so bad, or was it because of the tempering of his radical teacher?

If Wi San-ho, who knew both the past and the present, had heard about it, he would have been able to conclude that there had been signs like that in the past, but that it had gotten much worse after meeting the so-called Master. Unfortunately, Wi San-ho was not there right now.

“It’s not without a price.”

“Do I have to pay?”

“It’s not about money. We just want to clear up a misunderstanding.”

“Are you mistaken?”

"yes."

Ho-cheol-san said with a kind smile.

“Actually, there was a misunderstanding, but there is no reason for the above-mentioned group and us to have a bad relationship, right?”

“That’s true.”

Wei Yanhu is a person who has roundness as his life goal. Whether it is actually possible or not, Wei Yanhu's goal is to live in opposition to his master who surrounded his whole body with thorns and insisted that those who listened well should naturally be supported and those who did not listen should be beaten and beaten repeatedly.

If you live only in opposition to your master, you won't be beaten to death anywhere. The problem is that you've been living more and more like your master lately.

“So, I made this arrangement today to have a meal together, drink together, and let out some reminiscence. In fact, since Wi Yeon-ho is destined to become a hero of future generations, I also have a desire to use this opportunity to become friends with him.”

“I don’t think that will happen.”

“Are you talking about friendship?”

“No, a hero.”

Wi Yeon-ho said with a sullen face.

“Because I don’t have anything to do with it.”

“Why? You seem strong enough now.”

“You can’t become a hero just because you’re good at fighting. You have to have the will to fight hard for a just cause to be considered a hero with the virtues to do so…….”

Wi Yeon-ho trailed off.

But even without saying anything, Ho-cheol-san could guess what Wi-yeon-ho would say next.

'I'm too lazy to do it.'

Ho-cheol-san was thinking the same thing anyway. He just said it to make himself feel good.

“Anyway, please have a seat.”

"yes."

Wi Yeon-ho sat down, smiling happily. Watching the scene, Ak Seo-hee and Namgung Yeong-ryeong whispered.

'Do you look happy?'

'I'm glad it seems to be working out well.'

The fact that they had lost to Wi Yeon-ho was also a huge burden to them.

It's true that I feel like I've been taken advantage of by Jang Il, but even so, if I can restore my relationship with Wi Yeon-ho, I can see it as a worthwhile deal.

“Do you like the food?”

“Oh, is this the food I ate down here?”

“Yes. Jang Il-wi said that the owner of that place enjoyed the food he prepared. So I went there and ordered some food.”

'I'm writing a promissory note.'

This was information obtained by Jang Il who had deliberately robbed him of his last emergency fund. As a result, he had no money, so he had no choice but to use his status to get a loan. He must have felt very bad about writing a loan certificate and getting food, but even so, it was comforting to see Wi Yeon-ho's bright expression.

“The beggar has told a lot of stories.”

“Because selling information is their job.”

“Are you selling it?”

“Yes, that’s right. Is there anything strange?”

Even if Wei Yanhu had no common sense about martial arts, he could not have been unaware that Gaebong was a trader of information. This was not martial arts, but common sense in the world.

“You’re saying that you sold my information for money?”

“That, um, that is…….”

Well, if we talk about it, it does turn out that way… … .

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Wi Yeon-ho glared at Man-Ho-Cheol-San, who had no choice but to agree.

“Hey, where are you now?”

Jang Il was in a daze.

I must have made a lot of money today. I was feeling proud and resting in my dorm when suddenly the door opened and my classmates barged in.

Then, he started saying things like, "We don't do this because we want to, so please understand," and then he forcibly subdued him and carried him on his back.

At first I thought they were just being petty and scheming… … .

'Why is that person in front of me?'

The place he was taken to was the living room on the first floor of the dormitory. In front of it was a large banquet table, and Wei Yanhu was sitting at the head of the banquet table, eating food like a beggar.

'It's such a shame to see something like that.'

Anyone who looked at it could see that Wei Yanho was suited to openness.

If he had entered the liberal world and lived as a beggar since childhood, he would have become a great beggar by now. However, unfortunately, he was born into the wealthy and affluent Guangdong Wei family, so he never became a proper beggar and ended up becoming a beggar-like person.

If Wi Yeon-ho had become a merchant, the history of openness would have been different.

Leaving his regrets behind, Jang Il opened his mouth.

“But why was I brought here?”

“I don’t know either.”

Ho-cheol-san shrugged his shoulders.

“The above gentleman told me to bring you here.”

I wanted to yell at my friend's younger brother to call him 'you', but… … It was a common thing in the martial arts world where strength was the tyranny and ability was status.

If you think about it, it seems like Wi Yeon-ho is now being treated better than Wi San-ho. Wi Yeon-ho showed no sign of trying to hide his abilities.

There are those who look down on Wei Yanhu because they don't recognize his abilities, but that's because Wei Yanhu doesn't have enough fame yet and is lazy, so he doesn't have many opportunities to show off his abilities. Wei Yanhu, who has been humble and built up a wall from birth, would flaunt his strength when he can, and would never hide it.

“You called me?”

When Jang Il asked, Wi Yeon-ho hit the table with the chicken leg he was tearing off.

“Hey you little beggar!”

“What’s wrong with beggar feet!”

By calling a beggar a beggar's slut, Wei Yanho made him feel even worse than when he heard it from a normal person. Anyway, he was born with this kind of talent.

“I heard that you sold my information! You have confessed your sins!”

Jang-il said in a tone that it was absurd.

“Oh, no, wait a minute. That’s how openness is, and that’s how I’ve lived my whole life, so what do you mean by that now?”

Wi Yeon-ho said fatly.

“Why did you sell my information and get the money? If I make money, I should make it.”

"uh?"

I see. So that's what you mean?

Jang Il's face became blank.
