Episode 224 There aren’t many charlatans.
Jang Deuk-su, a man who is good at cooking, and Samae Hong, who is good at stealing.
It’s a strange combination. It was a strange combination, but I generally think that people should be good at one thing, so I thought about it positively.
In any case, the two people would not starve to death.
“What a combination.”
Deuksu cleared his throat, and Hongshin rolled his eyes here and there. Before eating the whole pork bone, I began my congratulatory speech with a reverent heart.
“You two, listen carefully.”
“huh.”
“Please speak. Ambassador type.”
I looked at Hong Shin and pointed to Jang Deuk-su.
“This is my older brother.”
Hongshin was startled and straightened his posture.
“yes.”
I corrected myself because I thought Hongshin was really surprised.
“He’s a neighborhood brother.”
“Oh, yes.”
“He’s the neighborhood brother, but he’s our brother.”
“Yes.”
“When I was hungry, they gave me a lot of food on credit. “There are few men in this world who are this kind.”
“That’s right.”
“I didn’t practice martial arts because I was studying cooking, so even if I get angry, I shouldn’t hit Deuksu. If I had learned martial arts, I would have been stronger than Samae. why? Being good at cooking means having the sense to grasp the essence of ingredients and the intelligence to properly combine various ingredients. Just looking at the seasoning that is neither too much nor too little, he is a man with self-control. Learning martial arts and being good at cooking are just different areas. Deuksu is also a master in my eyes. “He’s a great guy.”
Hongshin, who was staring at the table, answered with a puzzled expression.
“yes. Ambassador, I know what you mean. Have we met yet? … .”
“Shut up.”
“yes.”
I looked at Deuksu.
“brother.”
“huh.”
I formally introduced Hongshin to Deuksu.
“Hong Iljeom of our Twelve Gods, the only beauty in our Twelve Gods, and Hong Samae, the most outstanding of our Twelve Gods. It is difficult to meet a woman who is both beautiful, intelligent, and a thief. “When I saw him, it seemed like he would die of old age as an old bachelor in Ilyang County, but this is a miracle.”
“yes.”
“If you don’t want to be beaten by your sister-in-law, always respect her. They serve a lot of delicious food. Even if a guest who is prettier than Hongshin comes, do not pay attention to him or her with black hair and green onion roots… … .”
Deuksu Jang told me.
“Do it in moderation.”
“Is that so?”
Only then did I laugh. Hongshin, who had been listening to my story nervously, finally relaxed. He seemed to realize that I was teasing him by now.
“Anyway, it looks good. Let’s eat.”
“yes.”
Jang Deuk-su stood up shaking his head and headed to the kitchen.
“I’ll give you some noodles, so wait.”
I said to Hongshin while tearing off the pork bone.
“Wow, this is what it means to feel sleepy while eating.”
Hongshin nodded and ate the pork bone. I said to Hongshin, who was in a trance and eating a pork bone.
“Samae, did you come here to steal the recipe for making whole pork bones?”
Hongshin answered while tearing open a pork bone.
“That was a bit difficult. You taught me, but I must be doing it wrong. “It’s not something you can learn in one or two days.”
I nodded.
“There will be no one more expert than you in Ilyang County, so go around and beat up any strange guys you see. Or let it come into my ear. “I will sort it out.”
“All right.”
“Now that things have come to this, it would be better for you to become the head of Haomun’s Ilyang County branch.”
“If I need to contact my brothers, I will take care of it.”
After a while, Deuksu joined us and while we were eating noodles together, we heard the beggars cheering from outside.
A sigh came out of my mouth.
“What kind of beggars… … .”
After drinking the soup, I got up and looked outside. At that moment, something passed by at great speed. As if we were having a light-air competition among ourselves, cheers poured out every time the open-air experts arrived.
“… … .”
Eventually, Hong-shin and Deuk-su also got up and looked outside. Hongshin said.
“I’ve never seen so many beggars in the world.”
Deuksu replied in a tone of admiration.
“I guess I came looking for you. “There is no reason for beggars to come to Ilyang County like this.”
“I guess so. Deuksu, close your business today.”
“okay.”
I told Deuksu and Hongshin.
“Talk to the Maehwaru people and Yeon Ja-seong and tell them to finish their work too. Because I have to treat him to dinner. After connecting the table in front of the guest cup, prepare simple side dishes and rice in the form of rations. Since there are beggars who can’t even get their own food bowls, I tell them to put out their dishes at Maehwaru. “Gyeonggi and Haomun met, and Haomun should treat them to dinner.”
I looked at Jang Deuk-su.
“You’re the head of the store, but you can do this, right? “I will handle any costs incurred at Maehwaru.”

“I get it.”
“Samae Hong, figure out the number of beggars and help Deuksu.”
“Yes, Ambassador.”
After sending Jang Deuk-su and Hong Shin outside, I looked at the beggars in front of Chunyang Restaurant. With this number of people, it seemed like an important person was coming even at the opening. I had no choice but to assume that Noshin was coming.
I don’t even know why I’m coming.
Since the beggars have come, all we can do is treat them to a meal.
Those beggars didn’t really care about me either. There were additional beggar brothers arriving occasionally, but all we could do was clap or cheer whenever they were there. While I was watching, I heard beggars cheering from quite a distance away, and then an old man with an old man on his back appeared and looked around.
“ah… … .”
I applauded Noshin along with the beggars. I am also confused because the only person that Noshin can carry is the Ark of Openness.
I had doubts as to whether the old man on his back was actually a member of Samjae.
I couldn’t generally believe what the white-clothed student said, so I had no confidence in the first place.
An old man with no presence got off of Nosin’s back and smiled as he looked at the beggars around him.
There was nothing but old and young beggars chatting. After a while, Noshin found me and extended his hand towards me, and the old man, who was presumed to be the Ark of Openness, walked towards me with Noshin.
The old man said as soon as he made eye contact with me.
“Munju, I came to get a meal.”
I answered by nodding.
“We are preparing.”
Noshin also waved his hand at me.
“long time no see.”
“Brother Noshin, welcome back.”
Although we only met once in the canyon, the last time I called him was simply brother.
Lu Xin said to the old man.
“Please go in. “I will wait outside.”
“Okay. “Let’s go in together.”
“yes.”
After letting Nosin and the old man into the deserted Chunyang Restaurant, I looked at the shabby sign once again. I had no idea that the Ark of Openness would appear at Chunyang Restaurant, where I have been eating since I was a child.
Suddenly, out of curiosity, I looked around at the waiting beggars, and I saw that they were once again sitting around here and there, chatting or playing ball games.
I went into the spot and asked two people.
“Did you have dinner?”
The old man answered.
“Give me some water. This guy has been running for quite some time. “He must be tired.”
After putting away the empty dishes, I went to the kitchen and brought out the kettle. He said as he poured water for the old man and the old man.
“You’ve come a long way. “How did you come here?”
The old man answered.
“I heard from my disciple that you fought against a demon cult not long ago. “I came here because I was curious.”
“yes.”
After drinking a glass of water, I looked at the old man and the old man.
The old man said.
“I received Lord Lim’s signature, so I knew his name even before that.”
“I see. “I am Hao Wen Ju, Li Zhaha.”
The old man smiled and answered.
“Nice to meet you. I am an open ark. “I would like to place a county-level official near Ilyang-hyeon. Would that be okay?”
“of course. “How can I help you?”
“I feel uncomfortable just begging. The mourners learned how to hold funerals and pray for funerals. Sometimes, when you have to see off the dead, please take care of them. “If you just do that, you won’t starve to death.”
“All right.”
The open ark said to Lu Xin:
“I discussed it with Moonju, so you should know that.”
“Yes, Ark.”
If Noshin had said, “Master,” it was highly likely that it was Samjae, but it was also ambiguous because he called it Ark. Moreover, even during this conversation, the open ark had no presence.
On the other hand, if it has no presence in my eyes.
I also wondered how high my skills really were.
So, I now have skills that even the skills of an open ark cannot be estimated. It’s not particularly strange. If Bangju is a Samjae, there will be no more than ten experts in the world who can estimate this person’s skills.
Until now, I thought that I was the complete opposite of the devil’s cult leader.
However, the open ark was also located exactly at the exact opposite point of the Demonic Cult’s head.
There was no authority, no weight, no sense of coercion or ambition. He was just an old beggar.
The open ark that was staring at me held out its hand.
“Moonju, can’t you sleep?”
“yes.”
“see.”
I entrusted my wrist to someone other than Mo Yongbaek. Instead of feeling tired, the open ark looked around, fiddling with its hands.
“It hasn’t been long since you learned martial arts. “It’s not like I’ve been training in martial arts for a long time.”
“yes.”
Noshin helped from the side.
“I was right, right? “This is the first time I have seen a master who has become stronger in such a short period of time.”
Ark also nodded.
“It’s fascinating. “What about the recluse?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Open Ark blinked and stared at me with a puzzled expression.
“doesn’t exist?”
I nodded.
“I cannot tell you the circumstances because I am not revealing it to the white-robed student who is interrogating me.”
“Ah, a white-robed student. Have you met recently?”
“yes.”
“Then have you heard about me?”
“I gave my information and asked questions, and then I heard the story.”
Open Ark said with a smile.
“How is it? I would have said I was a member of Samjae. “Does it seem like reliable information after seeing it in person?”
I answered honestly.
“It doesn’t seem like he has the personality to lie. However, even though I am seeing Bangju in person, I do not know how he survived the fight with the other Samjaes.”
“What is it?”
“I have seen the leader in person and he seemed very strong.”
“The religious leader is strong.”
Noshin said while looking at me.
“Our master is strong too. “The world just doesn’t know.”
Noh Shin confirmed that the old man next to him was Samjae.
There is Samjae in front of you.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
How is my life going now?
If all three Samjaes had been trying to kill me, I would have perished right here and now, but it seems I am not that unlucky.
“Just as Baekui Seosaeng said, you were the last member of Samjae.”
The open ark nodded.
“Samjae is not a nickname I gave. “It’s a nickname that spread from the mouths of those who watched the fight.”
As Samjae appeared, I started by asking what I was curious about.
“What kind of person is Cheonak?”
Open Ark answered without delay.
“I understand you to be a master of the Seosaeng faction. It doesn’t seem like he’s close with the white robe student. “It is understood that he is a member of the Yakseon (藥仙) family who was responsible for obtaining elixirs to give to the First Emperor.”
“So, you mean the ones who were ordered to retrieve the elixir of immortality?”
“yes. I received orders, money to set up a travel group, and collected a lot of elixirs, but I always ridiculed the First Emperor. You have to go further away. This time, I would like to visit the police station. This time I want to cross the sea. There was no result, but he continued to ridicule the imperial family by squandering its wealth. Nevertheless, the Emperor Shi Huangdi believed that there was a cure for eternal life, so he was a person who had skills in everything, whether speaking or martial arts.”
“hmm.”
“Why do you think Cheonak is from there?”
“He was the youngest of the three of us. It’s a created body. In martial arts, I have learned most things in the world. I was learning a lot of martial arts that I didn’t know. When we put together the investigation by the government, Lu Xin’s own findings, and Baekwi Seosaeng’s words… … . That’s what I guessed. It must have been the best expert in the world, created by what can be broadly described as a union of students, but it was blocked by the sect leader and me. “They must have been shocked too.”
“Are you close to the religious leader?”
The open ark laughed.
“No way. Think about it. Cheonak was younger than us. I couldn’t win. The union of westerners will make the heavenly evil stronger. If my training and the training of the sect does not catch up with the Heavenly Evil, then at the next meeting of the Three Jaes, the best in the world will go to the Heavenly Evil. “There are a lot of students with broken hearts, so I can’t predict what will happen then.”
I listened quietly and just nodded. There was silence for a moment, then the ark opened and spoke.
“The cult leader must have abandoned the idea of becoming stronger through normal means.”
I lowered my tone and then answered.
“Who in the world knows what you have told me so far?”
Open Ark said.
“There are about ten of them, but the one who knows the most accurately is Lord Lim So-baek. “After all, you heard my story.”
“Is there any other reason why you are telling me this story?”
The open ark stared at me.
“Is there anything in particular? It’s always a pleasure to talk with young charlatans. “There are not many charlatans in the world.”
My face got hot while listening to the story of the open ark.
