How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ Me too. How can a person last for over ten years in a cave without a single light? And drink only Byeokgokdan and dew.”

“That’s why you’re the general manager.”

“Can I even speak?”

“ah. I’m sorry. continue.”

“If you see someone who is doing closed-gwan training disappearing, you must have noticed that he wasn’t inside at some point. How long was that?”

“It’s been about two and a half years. In reality it may be longer. You don’t talk much during lung-gwan training.”

There was no idiot who kept talking to the warriors who were practicing lungs. No one approached the cave where King Green Forest was located, unless it was time to put Byeokgokdan and water inside once every few months.

If I hadn’t gone to ask for opinions because there was something urgent about greening, I wouldn’t have known even now.

“I asked for opinions, but there was no reply. All the elders, including me, went to visit and shouted, but there was no answer. That’s when we found out that the head of the household had disappeared.”

“You’re just inside, aren’t you ignoring me?”

The red tide asked, puzzled. Then, not only the chill, but also Jong-gwang laughed at the red tide.

“Oh, he looks like an ignorant punk. do you mean that? Greenery is not made of one wild vegetable, but the power created by gathering dozens of wild vegetables. In order to be tied up as a green forest, not as a raggedy, we have to stick together more than anyone else! Someone who knows that better than anyone else gives you a side dish, but are you ignoring it even though the debt owner and the elders visit? Wild vegetables may be scattered!”

Suddenly, the face of the red tide turned red when he was swearing at Chae-ju, who was like a heather, for being stupid. It was a number that could be counted on one hand in life.

“stop. I can’t tell you what the agenda was, but it was really important. If the head of the household had been there, it would never have been ignored. From then on… I’m sure you’ve guessed.”

When King Noklim, whom they thought was practicing closed doors, disappeared, the fans as well as the elders were upset.

At first, they concealed the truth because of the prestige of the green forest, but as time passed, they gradually came to a different mind.

Shouldn’t someone wiser rule the greenery if the householder doesn’t return?

“You son of a b*tch to be punished! Foolish bastards, don’t even think about finding the hostess!”

Jong-gwang gnashed his teeth. As the owner of the wild vegetables, what the elders were doing was an unbelievable betrayal.

However, Han-gi did not react and looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

In fact, I had no idea what secrets Jinchungbido could find in this story. Hadn’t the elders, including Hangi, been looking for the head chef in the first place?

After examining all kinds of traces and clues and even mobilizing Hao Mun, I couldn’t find it, but can I find the whereabouts just by listening to the story?

It would have been impossible without a ghost.

“Debtor. Call the borrowers now. If all the owners of Moorim’s households rush at you, won’t they be able to find you?”

“Stop it. I’ve already searched enough to find it. Should I even spread useless rumors in Murim?”

Jong-gwang couldn’t hide his dissatisfaction despite Han Ki’s words. The debt owner explained with a tired expression.

“The head of the household had a lover. In the meantime, you also had a child.”

“!!!”

Jong-gwang was startled as if he would faint.

There was a child of the Great King of Green Forest!

“Speak, nonsense! This is the first time I’ve heard of it!”

“I know because I was taking care of it. I wondered if it might have come from these two. I waited but no one came. There was also a mountain building built by the head of the household when he was young. I wondered if you went there while doing closed-gwan training.

As the King of Green Forest directly trusted and entrusted him, Hangi knew the most about the owner of the dish.

After finding all the places where the head of household might have gone without the elders’ knowledge, Han-gi was able to say with more confidence than anyone else that there was nowhere else to find him in Gangho.

The red tide, who had been listening since before, spoke cautiously.

“if…”

“what? Cheerful bastard.”

“Aren’t you dead?”

“How dare you say that this crazy exuberant man has a pierced mouth!”

Chalkwang was about to have a seizure, but the chill answered faster than that.

“hmm!”

“Boo, debt owner!”

Jong-gwang, who felt the meaning contained in ‘um’, looked at the cold with despairing eyes. However, the chill was a determined face.

“I… thought about that too.”

“Debt owner! What are you talking about!”

“I understand you. pair failure. I’ve been in denial for over a year. But… Even if the hostess is gone, greening is greening. Those who remain must take care of the family.”

The cold continued to speak in a dark voice.

“Someone…someone, might have called the head of the house who had been practicing closed-kwan outside. If it was an urgent matter of greening, the head of the house would have come out no matter how much he was in the closed hall training. It could be the elders, or it could be an outside master colluding with the elders. Since the head of the household has a grudge, anyone can do it.”

After King Nokrim became a master at his peak, he accumulated resentment regardless of political affairs. It wouldn’t be strange if anyone tried to retaliate.

“There is no way the head of household can lose!”

“I thought so too. But… there is no invincibility in Murim. Any master is bound to lose if he is thoroughly ambushed and ambushed. Even the masters who lost their lives to the head chef would not have thought that they would lose to a kid who had just reached the peak.”

As he spoke, he felt the stone mass that had been weighing heavily on his chest disappear.

It was thanks to the acknowledgment of the truth that had been ignored over and over again.

At that moment, the cold realized why Jinchungbido had said, ‘Even if I don’t go in alive, I can guess where the host is.’

That clever Fodu was convinced from the time that the chief creditor had disappeared and the elders of the green forest and the debtor had started internal strife.

There was no way I would have let this infighting go without the death of the head of household.

Looking at Jinchungbido, he was staring at the cold with a hesitant face. Even though Yeon Woo-hyuk didn’t open his mouth, Han-ki seemed to know what he was trying to say.

“Right. Pimple rain too. Did you want to tell this story?”

“Nokhogun Daehyeop.”

“I don’t need to say more. I understand now Why did you say you don’t have to go to the wild? It must have been frustrating because I was ignoring the truth despite what I knew. As Moorim’s senior, I feel ashamed.”

Hangi said with relief.

From noble mtl dot com

Now that I have admitted this fact, I will no longer be obsessed with delusion.

I will surely find my enemy and eat the flesh of his heart.

“Thank you. Pimple rain too. If you had said it from the beginning, I would have denied it again. I wouldn’t have admitted it if I hadn’t encouraged myself to speak up. Now I understand your reputation.”

There were many soldiers in Murim who boasted of their intelligence, but few could truly persuade people.

In the eyes of the chill, Jinchungbido was one of those rare people. It was natural for such a young Fodu to gain fame in Moorim.

‘Was it like that!’

The red tide was once again impressed.

Earlier, when he said that he knew even if he did not go alive, he wondered what kind of ghost harmony it was, but Yeon Woo-hyeok was convinced of the death of King Noklim only based on the circumstances.

Then there was no need to go in. The red tide felt bad that he was the only one witnessing such great wisdom.

“I’ll definitely catch the Evil Sword Samma and the Five Poison Ghosts and give them to you…”

“Green tiger army great fight!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk could not stand it any longer and shouted loudly. I was taken aback by the cold, as well as the Jonggwang and the red tide.

“Why… why?”

“The Great King of Green Forest is not dead. You’ll just be in the cave where you practiced face-to-face.”

“……”

The case of the disappearance of the owner of Green Forest (5)

The atmosphere became awkward at Yeon Woo-hyuk’s sudden words. The red tide said in bewilderment.

“Podu. That makes no sense.”

“Why doesn’t it make sense?”

“Yeah…you heard me. The fan owner and the elders kept calling in front of the cave, but there was no answer.”

As the red tide was also the leader of the slaughterhouse, he knew what it meant to be the leader of an organization.

Green Forest King, who took the position of head of household, would have taken the responsibility more seriously than anyone else.

“And you also had a Jeong-in and a child, didn’t you? If he was alive, he would have answered even if he was curious.”

Instead of persuading the red tide, Yeon Woo-hyuk looked straight at the chill and asked.

“Have you opened the entrance to the cave where you practiced closed doors?”

“…I haven’t opened it.”

It was taboo in Moorim to recklessly open the door of a place where a martial artist who practiced closed doors was staying.

To avoid the sound of dropping needles and concentrate, I do lung training, but when I open the door outside, it was a complete turnaround. If you’re really unlucky, you could suffer from an intoxication or internal injury.

The cave where King Lim Ga-jeok of Nokrim stayed for training was a deep place in Nokrimdae Mountain.

At one time, the mountain had a different name, but it was called Nokrimdaesan after the Sanchae of King Nokrim, which serves as the best sanchae and side dish among the seventy-two houses, was established.

Of course, there were no common ground catchers or scavengers here.

As that was not enough, a five-inch-thick iron gate was blocking entry and exit in front of the cave. This iron gate made of meteoric iron would not be easily broken by any master from another school.

All of this was prepared to prevent foreign enemies from interfering with the lung training, but there was no way the green swordsman could break it with their own hands.

Indeed, neither the debtor nor the elders touched the door disrespectfully.

“Why didn’t you open it?”

“Isn’t it natural not to interfere with a martial artist doing closed-gwan training!”

“But the Nokhogun Daehyeop is sure that the head of the household is not inside.”

“Even so, it would be foolish to open the door of the cave at will. What would the elders say? Seeing how arrogant he is, he’ll spread rumors to know why the hostess disappeared. Why should I do that to make sure it’s empty?”

“Because I think the housekeeper is inside.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk said firmly.

When I couldn’t show solid evidence, I had to come out stronger.

“It was plausible that the head of the household may have been attacked, but it is rather unlikely. Think about it. The general manager is not just a martial artist with a high level of martial prowess. Aren’t you the one who started out as Chaeju and went through the big things of green forest? A person with a deep sense of heart who does not easily reveal his own child secretly comes out and is attacked in vain because it is an urgent matter for greening? No matter how trustworthy the elders are, I think the odds are low.”

“…..”

The chill was confusing. Listening to it, I felt like I was tilting my senses at Podu’s words again.

“Then why didn’t you go somewhere else?”

“No matter how much you hide your identity, rumors can’t spread as long as someone of the level of Green Forest has come out. If there are no such rumors and you have searched every possible place to go, the answer is simple. You didn’t go out in the first place.”

“But… but…”

“Nokhogun Daehyeop.”

As there was no evidence, Yeon Woo-hyuk decided that the conversation should be ended strongly here.

“I don’t know why King Green Forest didn’t answer. I’m not a ghost, how would you know that? Will you trust me and open the iron door, or will you not trust me? That’s for the Nokhogun Daehyeop to decide. I will not force you. But it seems to me that the simplest answer is more than the other ridiculously verbose possibilities.”

“…I’ll think about it. Thank you.”

The chill was silent for a long time, then stood up. Jong-gwang hesitated because he still didn’t understand, and then got up in a hurry, noticing it belatedly.

“I look forward to good results.”

“I agree.”

After the green trees went back, the red tide asked as if he was going to die in frustration.

“Those guys are back, so now explain it to me. What the hell is the green forest king inside? Then why didn’t you answer?”

“Did you not notice? I thought you would have taken it if it was the enemy.”

“I don’t know. Why didn’t you answer me?”

“Have you ever met a master who reached the highest level in Moorim?”

The red tide shook his head.

As a killer, I was lucky that I hadn’t met a transcendent master who was less than five in Murim. If we had met, we wouldn’t have been able to talk like this.

“If I had met him, he would have been buried in the ground and talking.”

“Then, do you know what characteristics are characteristic of masters who have reached the peak?”

“well…? The state of martial arts is transcendent, they are not like people, well, I can only remember these useless words.”

“You just said it well.”

“Is the realm of martial arts transcendental? Why?”

“Didn’t you say that they are not like humans? From my point of view, there seems to be a connection somewhere in order to cross the wall of climax and go to the transcendental climax.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok made a plausible hypothesis based on the state of martial arts explained by Cheong Heo-jin and the truth about King Nokrim he knew.

“Have you heard that Shaolin monks abandon the five desires and seven emotions and try to reach the stage of liberation? I think the level of transcendence is similar. The secular values that I was so obsessed with until then feel like they are fleeting.”

“Does this sound like nonsense? Are you saying that your brain tastes better when you reach the level of martial arts?”

“But other than that I can’t guess. If that’s the case, even if someone shouts that greening is urgent, you can ignore it.”

“I wondered if the Great King of Green Forest could not answer because he had fallen into the coin intoxication inside. If you’re addicted, you might be.”

“There’s no way a master like that could be poisoned just because he put some poison in Byeokgokdan. The same goes for the main flower mouth. It’s a far more unlikely story.”

“I think you’re wrong this time…”

The red tide tilted its head. No matter how I thought about it, it sounded too strange.

“Then would you like to bet?”

“Okay, as much as you like!”

The red tide, which readily accepted, hesitated.

“Why is that?”

“I suddenly remembered what the elder said in the past.”

“What did you say?”

“I told you not to bet if someone smarter than you suggested making a bet, no matter how advantageous it looked.”
