Episode 112. Yoo Seok-do and Eun-yeo-woo
The general tilted his head. He was already a familiar face. However, his momentum was unusual.
“Who are you?”
“Have you forgotten? This is Minister Yoo Seok-do.”
“Ah, you!”
“That night, the night everything was in shambles, I barely managed to escape and run here.”
“Oh.”
“I failed to protect Queen Hee-bin.”
“… … .”
Tears streamed down the tangled face of the idiot. He was not a fool who lived half-consciously. Dalcheon sat down and shook his body as he walked to the threshold.
“Have you come to your senses?”
“I took the medicine you gave me right after I came here and I already came to my senses.”
“But why did you keep doing stupid things?”
“It wasn’t easy when things changed so suddenly. I’m sorry. And thank you.”
“Don’t keep pretending to be an idiot… … Don’t you think you’ll be happier living like that?”
“I overheard the conversation between the two of you from behind. When I heard that it wasn’t over yet and that you were still under threat of assassination, I thought that it couldn’t go on like this.”
“What about your body? I told you before that it was a scar, a place where you were stabbed.”
“Thanks to the Sun God Art and the Big Dipper Art you taught me, my body has completely recovered. I am overflowing with energy.”
“Oh my goodness! So Grandpa Bulmok was a military general in Joseon?”
“Yes. I couldn’t protect Mama. Ugh.”
The two were dumbfounded by the sudden change in the situation. Bulmokhani, who revealed himself as Yoo Seok-do, straightened his back. His disheveled hair and even messier beard covered his face, making him dirty, but his eyes were leaking energy. It was the work of two people. Dalcheon stood up.
“If you do something, the Crown Prince will definitely be killed.”
“Okay.”
It was a request that even a strong-hearted man would not easily answer. When Dalcheon gave up his seat, the prince took Yu Seok-do to his room. Mukhyeong, who was in the yard, followed him and turned on the light.
“Tell me. What happened?”
“I failed to protect Mama that day. Dozens of men attacked Mama’s palanquin on her way to Saga. I blocked it by cutting down about a dozen of them, but it was overwhelming. They doggedly pursued me as I was stabbed and rolled down the hill. I caught one, but the other was not enough. I was stabbed and fell. I rolled down the hill to avoid their swords. My arm was twisted and my shoulder was dislocated, but when I got up and climbed up the road with my injured body, the men were nowhere to be found, and only Mama’s body was lying in a miserable state.
Fortunately, the Grand Prince was unconscious and hiding in the grass. I moved the Prince to my maternal home. I called people and strengthened the defense. The next day, I heard that the person who failed to protect the Prince was being dismissed.
The doctor in the pharmacy was a liver. While following him, I met the guy who had surprised me again. I tried to avoid him and ran away, but I couldn’t stop him. He was stabbed again, and I had a hard time avoiding him, but he kept chasing me. He knew who the villain was, so he wouldn’t let me go.
“I stole a horse from a post station and ran away, and when I got to this place, I fell off a cliff, but the monk Wonju saved me. I had already lost my mind… … . I just found out that more than ten years had passed since then.”
“Oh my.”
Long but short. The general sighed.
“I see. I really thought you ran away, leaving me behind.”
“Then, with what shame would you have gone to the Grand Prince’s maternal home?”
“Who is the villain?”
“I found out later that he was a soldier from the Crown Prince’s Guard who guarded the Crown Prince’s Palace. I remember his name was Seo Jae-cheol. He was the one who brought the King’s entourage into the palace. I wonder if he still exists.”
“It’s still there. It’s my armor.”
“Ah, you’ve made it big. You swordsman.”
“Our relationship is not good.”
Yuseokdo bowed his head and touched the floor.
“I heard that you are still under threat of assassination, so I have decided. I will protect Mama. I have already thrown away my life. I will dedicate my life to Mama.”
“Do you know what happened to your house?”
“I don’t know. I have to go and see. I think it will probably be completely destroyed.”
“Whew… … .”
The general took a step closer.
“Is that the evil spirit Abamama?”
“mama…….”
“Is that right?”
“Unable to verify.”
A heavy silence descended. Was it the lord whom the grand lord had suspected? The shadows cast by the lamplight swayed heavily on the shabby wall.
“I will go to Hanyang and destroy them.”
“I will do my best, even if it is only a little bit.”
“If the general is with us, it will be a great help.”
The Grand Prince pointed to the silent one.
“It’s Mukhyeong. I’m not fully recovered yet. I’ll help you.”
Mukhyeong took Yuseokdo out.
“Please take care of him. Give him a sword and practice swordsmanship to help him get used to it quickly.”
“Loyalty!”
* * *
Bulmokhani and Yuseokdo sat across from each other. Dalcheon started chattering like before.
“So, your grandfather was a lieutenant in the royal guard in Hanyang?”
“Yes.”
“Whew… … . I thought it was a bit odd.”
“Thank you, I was happy.”
“Huh, do you remember?”
“Of course. Everyone treated me like an idiot, but Jin-in treated me like a human. And the medicine… … .”
“Oh, it’s a traditional recipe. I thought of it while reading a herbal medicine book and tried it. It’s the kind that clears the liver. One was eaten by the silver fox and one was eaten by the old man.”
Yuseokdo’s eyes sparkled.
“What happened to the fox?”
“It doesn’t speak, but it seems to understand what you say. Why? Are there other effects? I haven’t tried it.”
“It’s not just about clearing the mind.”
“Do you feel energized?”
“Yes. It seems to not only heal the sore spot, but also invigorate the qi and blood to replenish the original energy.”
“Since you don’t speak, I couldn’t check the effectiveness of the medicine. I guess I’ll have to go up and check on that silver fox. It might suddenly start talking, right?”
Yuseokdo smiled with his old foolish face.
“Will you help Grand Duke Mama?”
“As long as it doesn’t make the world a mess.”
“thank you.”
“Your Majesty the Grand Prince lacks decisiveness, so it is more important to support her from close range.”
“It wasn’t like that when I was young.”
“They say time is the medicine, but that’s not true. Time is the disease.”
“Is that so? Hahaha!”
I don’t feel so good about looking at the newly changed Yuseokdo. If my body has improved, I should live happily with that. Aren’t I going to enter Dosan Geomrim (刀山劍林) again?
“Let us depart immediately, settle down in Hanyang, and build up our military power.”
“All right.”
It was the fifth day since Dalcheon saw off the army and its party. He waved his hand vigorously as if he was seeing off a general leaving for the battlefield. Wonju grumbled.
“Where else can you find peace in a time like this?”
“You made some medicine for me, right?”
“No, that’s not what I mean… … .”
“You helped the great army, so you will reap the benefits later.”
“I don’t even expect virtue. If you could just bring those ignorant bastards who are pretending to be scholars to their senses, I would have no more wishes. The villagers are even worse.”
“You lack common sense.”
“Phew.”
“I told the magistrate to understand, so it won’t be like before.”
“I wonder? I’m worried that if Jinin isn’t here, they’ll start causing trouble again.”
* * *
After the prince and his party left, Dalcheon went up the mountain and looked for the silver fox.
“If you understand what I’m saying, nod your head up and down! You understand!”
But the silver fox nodded.
“this…….”
Dalcheon ran into the room and reread the part he had used on the podium.
– The harmonious energy of heaven and earth descended and touched the gentleness of the earth, and Garam was born in the midst of it. The saying that heaven is reason is precisely that. Cloud and clouds.
The meaningless sound of a ghost washing its dishes was connected and ended with the word ‘incarnation’.
“Hwa-hyeon? Hwa-hyeon? What does this mean? Ahem.”
I lay down on the bed holding the book. But I felt strange and turned around to see a young man with silver hair, no, a tall boy, standing there. But he was not wearing any clothes.
“What are you?”
“It’s a silver fox.”
“Oh my! You know how to shapeshift?”
“I thought of the word ‘Hwa-hyeon’ and this is what happened.”
Dalcheon sat down on all fours on the platform.
“See, I told you.”
“Thank you.”
“Go back to the original.”
“I don’t know how to do it.”
“The fox is taking on a human form.”
“Heaven and earth are in harmony… … .”
The silver fox stopped talking and became lost in thought.
“Oh my, it’s all mixed together. Ugh. What kind of medicine is this? I don’t even know what I’m making.”
I rolled around on the bed again and read a book. There was no mention of a fox turning into a human. There was no mention of a fool regaining his memory and becoming smart.
“Phew… … . What a stupid thing I did.”
Eun-yeo-woo stood still, and Dal-cheon continued to study thoughtfully while rolling around on the bed. No matter how strange it was, there was a cause and effect. Things that change suddenly without a process rarely happen. I ran my hand through my hair and looked around. After thinking about Ban Shi-jin-yeo for a while, I came down from the bed.
“Oh, I don’t know! Anyway, I have to study the podium again!”
The herbal medicine left by the master may have been good. He observed the weather and chose a good day to take a bath and cleanse himself, so it may have been done properly.
No. Most of the time, the platform is bound to fail. Not only can you not have perfect conditions, but even if you do, the platform cannot be achieved unless Heaven sends its will. But this time, it was intended to make a potion that would make you smarter, but it turned out to be more than that.
Then, if an ordinary person, that is, a smart person, eats it, will they become a god? No, they might become a fool again.
His thoughts continued endlessly, but they were just thoughts. Dalcheon smiled slyly and made a plan. What would happen if he made the same potion again and fed it to the human? … Hmm, ahem.
I sighed in a place where I couldn’t finish my thoughts. I have to go to Hanyang. Oh, I really didn’t want to go back. If I hadn’t felt a sense of duty to reap what I had sown, I would never have gone back.
“Oh my!”
“yes?”
“I’m going to Hanyang for a bit, so take good care of the house.”
“I will accompany you.”
“Companion? Oh, you know how to text too?”
“I have confirmed several times that it is exactly the same as a person.”
“At least put on some clothes… … . You’re not a human being.”
The silver fox was naked after her transformation.
“All right.”
He went into Dalcheon’s room like it was his own and came out wearing his military uniform. Dalcheon threw his sword at him just in case.
“Try Joseon tax law once.”
“yes.”
But maybe it was because he had seen something. He used the sword precisely. The angle at which he swung the sword was precise, and the tying and cutting were even more certain. Dalcheon jumped.
“Hey! The fox is doing the washing. Hey! What the heck! Oh my god!”
The silver fox, having finished its sword fighting, bowed its head and bowed like a human.
“Did it look okay?”
“What are you? Are you really a fox?”
“Now you are human.”
“This doesn’t make sense. It’s a fox, but it looks like a human. How can it do swordsmanship?”
“It’s a person. Would you like to see it?”
The silver fox stood with his arms outstretched as if he was trying to show off. Dalcheon scanned the silver fox with his senses. But it was a person. It was just like a person. There was a faint energy flowing around the dantian, and it seemed ready to do the small circumference if told to do so.
Dalcheon ordered the monk to read the flow of energy. It was a person. It was a warrior.
“No matter what, it won’t work. There’s going to be a tough fight. Protect the house! Got it?”
“I told you I would accompany you.”
“why?”
“You made us human. We must repay that favor.”
“Is doing whatever you want the reward?”
Grace and repayment are originally something that is done at will.
“I will protect you from my side.”
“No, who is protecting whom?”
“I will make sure that you do not feel uncomfortable while doing chores.”
“Are you a slave?”
“I am not a slave. I studied in the mountains, so I am a mountain person. Me too.”
“What kind of mountain is this without even raising the equator?”
Going to Hanyang was complicated enough, and now there was a problem. Unable to break the guy’s stubbornness, I had to climb the mountain and leave for Hanyang that night. It was hard to leave without knowing what kind of existence he was or what his reason for living was, but it was something I couldn’t afford to delay.
