Taejonbirok Volume 3 Episode 1
Chapter 17 – The Sorrow of the Sloth (1)
“What do you mean by ‘Holy Hands Field’?”
The historian tilted his head. This was because he knew of only one holy water sect in the world.
“Are you talking about the best doctor in the world, the best place for holy hands?”
The Gwanggu Shingae scratched its belly and blew away the dirt stuck to its fingernails.
“Is there another holy water market besides that one?”
Saga frowned as if he didn't understand at all.
“Are you saying that the Seongsujang, the greatest gate in the world, looked so shabby just a hundred years ago?”
Gwanggu Shingae looked at Saga as if he was pitiful.
“What did you hear?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Seongsujang is a place that boasts hundreds of years of tradition.”
“Yes.”
“The problem was that when he arrived at the Holy Land, the centuries-old tradition was about to be cut short. The building was sold, the council members ran away… It was just chaos.”
Saga nodded.
When I heard about it, the situation didn't look very good.
“But seeing that Seongsujang is now known as the best swordsman in the world, isn’t it because Great Swordsman Wi Yeonho has been of great help to Seongsujang?”
The Gwanggu Shingae rolled around, holding onto its stomach.
“Hahahahaha! What did you say? It helped me a lot?”
Saga opened his eyes wide at the reaction of the mysterious man who couldn't understand English.
“Why are you doing that?”
Gwanggu Shingae wiped away the tears that were welling up in his eyes, and shivered as if he felt goosebumps just thinking about it.
“You should never go to the holy water temple and say such things. Unless you want to die a peaceful death with a gold needle stuck in your acupoint.”
“What are you talking about?”
Gwanggu Shingae clicked his tongue.
“Do you know what the scariest thing about Wi Yeon-ho is?”
“I’m fine…….”
Gwanggu Shingae took out a bear lantern from his bosom, and lit it with the tip of his finger, causing Samadhi to occur.
Then he blew out a long puff of smoke.
“There is no malicious intent.”
"yes?"
“Wei Yanhu, he has no ill intentions. I have never seen him curse, hate, or deliberately harass anyone.”
“Why is that scary?”
“It’s scary, it’s scary! Of course it’s scary. Think about it. If a guy who has no ill intentions toward you were to bring about all sorts of unimaginable misfortunes just by being by your side, what would you do?”
Saga flinched.
“Well…….”
“No answer?”
"yes."
Gwanggu Shingae closed his eyes and nodded.
“Yes, there is no answer. That is the biggest problem. But people tend to try to find an answer somehow. And then…….”
Gwanggu Shingae paused for a moment and then smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.
“It’s a sure way to fall into a bigger swamp.”

That guy brings misfortune.
No, no. To be exact, that guy brings misfortune and he goes around looking for places where there is misfortune like a ghost.
What do you mean?
Wherever he goes, trouble always breaks out, but from another perspective, wherever he goes, there is already some huge trouble before he gets there.
What a genius talent.
I realized that later, and whenever that guy came looking for me, I would put everything aside and check my surroundings. Then, a bomb would definitely explode somewhere.
what?
So, were you able to resolve it well?
What the hell did you hear?
He not only seeks out misfortune, but he also brings misfortune to others, right?
The moment he got to where the bomb was, it was all over. The moment he found the bomb and poured water on it, the bomb exploded and the pillar roots were blown away.
what?
Do you really think that's true?
Let's see if you can still say that after hearing what happened at the Holy Water Palace.
Listen carefully.

“Well then, what good fortune does my fate have! I’m lucky I don’t get struck by lightning on the way! Aaaah! Why is my damn master making me do this! I want to go home!”
Wei Yanhu's voice, full of indignation, echoed throughout the Hubei sky.
The boy who revealed himself as the owner of the store just blinked, seemingly taken aback by Wi Yeon-ho's reaction.
“What's going on?”
Then a clear voice was heard from inside the door. The boy who heard the voice answered politely.

“Sister, we have a guest.”
“Are you sick?”
“No, that’s not it. Someone has come to see my father.”
Squeak.
The door opened.
Wi Yeon-ho sat on the floor and looked at the open door with a feeling of despair.
“Huh?”
Wi Yeon-ho's eyes widened.
The person who came out of the door was a woman who looked to be around the same age as Wi Yeon-ho.
But the reason Wei Yanhu was surprised was not because a woman came out. Wei Yanhu was surprised because the woman who opened the door and came out was a beauty he had never seen before.
She was a woman who was perfectly suited to obvious adjectives such as having skin like white jade or hair like ebony.
A high nose, red lips, and big eyes.
Wi Yeon-ho opened his mouth.
The woman tilted her head when she saw Wei Yanho's gaze looking at her.
“Why are you doing that?”
Wi Yeon-ho answered honestly. Wi Yeon-ho's strength and weakness was that he could not lie easily.
“No, it’s because it’s too pretty.”
In an instant, the woman's face turned red.
“You are a mischievous person.”
“I was just stating the facts as they were…….”
Wi Yeon-ho felt wronged.
As expected, the world is such that being honest is detrimental.
'There is no one who is successful but speaks the truth, and there is no one who is long-lived but speaks the truth.'
Wi Yeon-ho reflected on the truth of the world.
“Did you say you came to see your father?”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded his head absentmindedly.
“That’s right.”
“My younger sister, Soa, is the eldest daughter right now. But if you’re looking for your father, I think it’s right for me, the eldest daughter, to check on you.”
Wi Yeon-ho took out a letter of introduction from his bosom and handed it to the woman.
It was a useless letter of introduction. Who cares who sees it?
The woman who opened the letter of introduction that Wi Yeon-ho had handed her began to read the letter with a serious face.
'The picture appears.'
Even though I was just reading a letter, it felt like a painting.
'That's why women are supposed to be pretty and men are supposed to be handsome.'
I started to feel resentful towards my parents all over again.
'You're so handsome, hyung!'
Why didn't Wei Yanhu have half the number of brothers he had?
Of course, from the parents' perspective, they wouldn't be happy with a younger brother who isn't even half as good as his older brother.
The woman who had finished reading the letter folded it again and her face hardened.
“So-ah.”
“Yes, sis.”
“Clean up the back room and prepare for the guests.”
“But, Sister, that room is for the sick.”
“Is there anyone sick right now?”
“It’s empty now.”
The woman opened her mouth to speak to her younger brother.
“That’s all. Clean up the room and make sure there’s no mistake in welcoming the guest. He’s a guest who’s come to see your father. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Yes, sis.”
The boy called Soara lowered his head. The woman's voice was clear, but there was a subtle power within it.
As the boy headed inside to clean the room, the woman looked at Wi Yeon-ho again.
“My name is Jin Ye-ran. And the younger sister you saw a little while ago is Jin So-ah.”
“It’s Wei Yan Ho.”
“I understand that you came to see your father. Unfortunately, he passed away last year.”
"yes."
“From the letter, it seems you came to inquire about medicine. Am I right?”
“Well, that’s true.”
Jin Ye-ran let out a small sigh. It wasn’t because Wi Yeon-ho was a burden, but rather because she knew that Seongsu-jang’s current situation made it difficult for him to tell the truth.
“As you can see, our current Seongsujang is not in the proper state of a medical institution. However, if we send away the person introduced by Uncle Moon, our late father will scold us. It is a place that is lacking and inadequate, but I hope you will stay.”
Wi Yeon-ho waved his hand.
“No! I’m fine. There are many doctors other than here, so you can go somewhere else. So if it’s burdensome, I’ll just go.”
At that moment, Jin Ye-ran's face became determined.
“That can’t be.”
Wi Yeon-ho flinched.
“If we send away the guests who came to see our father like this, the world will point fingers at us. We do not want the holy water market to become a place that does not know the way, and we do not want our father’s reputation to fall to the ground.”
“Well, if things don’t work out, that could be possible.”
“That can never happen!”
Wi Yeon-ho had a sad expression on his face.
Now that I had finally escaped from Yurim, I felt like the boredom had gotten even worse.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to the place Moon Yu-hwan introduced me to, but that bothersome thing was making things complicated.
'Well, I should have looked into it when I heard that he was friends with that rock-hard Moon scholar.'
There was no use regretting it now.
This is something I should have expected a long time ago!
“I, I feel like I’m burdening you for nothing…….”
Jin Ye-ran shook her head.
“Seongsujang is not a place that is so rude as to make guests feel uncomfortable. Don’t worry.”
“No, I’m a burden…….”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
At that moment, Jin So-ah walked in.
“I’m ready, Sister.”
“Guide the guests.”
"yes!"
Wi Yeon-ho's face became almost on the verge of tears.
'I'm screwed.'
I had a strong feeling that something was wrong from the start.
Anyway, in this way, Wi Yeon-ho was able to enter the Holy Water Palace safely(?).

What is the most powerful group in the world?
If you had said that two hundred years ago, people's opinions would have been divided.
Shaolin, also known as Mount Taishan.
A shaman known as a master of morality.
The Ming teachings, which are said to be the origin of all things.
Man-geom (萬劍), known as the final destination of swords.
Besides these, there must have been countless other sects that were on people's lips.
But if you ask the same question now, there is only one answer.
The Sungcheonjeongmu Alliance.
The strongest organization in the history of martial arts, created by the gathering of the sects that ruled the world and the powerful families that criticized the world.
As long as they were the mediators, rulers, and rulers, no other place could dare to put its name before them. Only the Heavenly Alliance could raise its head before them.
And the deepest part of the Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance.
A military battle that is said to be more difficult to hear than the Battle of Mengzu.
Peng Do-geuk stood there blankly in the midst of the military battle.
‘Why am I here… … .’
Cold sweat began to break out on Peng Do-geuk's forehead.
Personally, he experienced something huge that put his life on the line. However, that was only Peng Do-geuk’s personal perspective, and from the perspective of the Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance that ruled the world, he thought it was just a tiny thing.
But as soon as he reported the work, he was dragged here without a word.
'What did I do wrong?'
Peng Do-geuk wiped the sweat pouring out of his body with his sleeve.
No matter how much he was the son of a prestigious family, there were enough sons of prestigious families in the world of martial arts to trip up one's feet. He had never dared to imagine that he would be able to have a one-on-one meeting with the military of the Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance.
It wasn't just a burden, it felt like my whole body had been turned into a block of wood.
Knock knock.
At that moment, the door opened and a man from Seonpungdogol walked in.
