Episode 72. Hunting Part 2
A slow breeze brushed the leaves, and insects the size of grains of sand crawled on the old bark. Small animals hid in places unseen, moving cautiously from shade to shade. I stopped my horse and stood still, and the scent of the old forest rose from the horse’s nostrils. It was time to put what I had learned to use. When I stopped, I could feel the movement around me. The wind, the sky, the leaves, and the movements of small animals seemed to be chattering not far from my feet. I held my breath and slowly swayed as I came face to face with a startled face. It was a deer. I met its clear, deep black eyes.
Suddenly, I turned my belt forward, took out my bow, and took aim, but the thing disappeared beyond the forest. It seemed to have gone down the slope.
“ha!”
I hit the tree trunk with my stick and went back. I hit the leafy branches and went forward, and I could see the thing moving west. I could see only its tail, and it disappeared between the green leaves, but it was headed west.
“Whoa! Whoa!”
He drove the bastard by shouting and threatening with a stick. Since he was the only driver, he had a lot of space to move around. He drove the bastard by going up and down the forest with a stick. He put his finger in his mouth and made a whistle sound, “Beep!” He hoped that the big army would know the direction he was driving.
But the one running away doesn’t run in a straight line because he has a head. He runs in a zigzag pattern and changes direction frequently. I moved around considering that. Just in case, I blew the whistle once more and burst out in a sense of place, ‘Woooooo!’
“I’m going! I’m going soon!”
When we got close to the place where the men walked, we heard the sound of horse hooves.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa! Here he goes!”
I shouted several times and drove them into the path. The branches brushed against the horse and hit it in the face. The horse avoided the big branches on its own, but it didn’t pay any attention to the small ones. It felt like the horse was playing a trick on him. It seemed to be saying, ‘So why did you come into the forest?’
“Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!”
If you chase after them closely, you might get shot by an arrow.
“I’m going out now!”
The shooter couldn’t answer. After a moment, there was the sound of the bow being pulled, and the sound of an arrow piercing the air.
Quite a lot!
It’s not a pig, but it’s making pig sounds. Mukhyeong tilted his head and ran out. Something jumped up, but it wasn’t a deer, it was a pig. Something’s wrong. He turned in the direction he had chased the deer and yelled.
“No pigs! Deer are here too!”
But maybe it was a mistake? A pig with an arrow in its side rushed towards Mookhyung. It was called a wild boar that had been shot in advance.
Mukhyeong is not pushed around by pigs. He is worried about the horse. The horse, startled, lifted its front legs and stood up. Mukhyeong was unable to calm the horse down and jumped down.
A wild boar that was stuck to the ground ran like a tank. Its teeth, which were bent toward the sky, were enlarged and ugly. In the split second that it didn’t even have time to catch its breath, Mukhyeong slightly stepped aside and stabbed it with the long stick he was holding. He accurately struck the side of the head, near the neck.
Quite a lot!
The bastard jumped. The stick, unable to withstand the force of his charge, broke with a snap. He hit the bastard’s neck, but he slipped away, unable to withstand the force of his charge. Mukhyeong stepped aside and pulled out his sword. The bastard’s limbs convulsed as his head was slammed into the base of a thick tree. Mukhyeong lowered the sword and hit the bastard’s neck again. He was clearly dead, but he convulsed again.
“Phew.”
The horse had no where to run off to. The rope, hook, and everything else needed to deal with the prey were all on the creature’s back, so there was no way out. Mukhyeong looked around, cut some kudzu vines, tied the creature’s ankles together, and dragged it outside.
There was the sound of arrows flying, the sound of branches breaking, the sound of animals struggling, the sound of grass being torn apart, and after a while the great army appeared.
“Hey, Mookhyung!”
“Your Majesty.”
“You caught a pig.”
“I almost got hit by a wild boar that had been hit by a prepaid card.”
“Oh, sorry. I should have guessed correctly… … .”
The general looked at the boar’s flank and smiled bashfully. It is never easy to send a boar away in one blow. However, the two men had done it so far, so they were sorry that they could not do it now.
“What about the deer?”
“That one hit it too. This time I hit the head, and it rolled over.”
“Please take a look here and I will go and come back.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was startled by a wild boar and ran away.”
“Heh heh.”
The deer was lying not far away. The arrow pierced the side of its face and killed it instantly. It is not easy to hit it like this. It is in a hollow between trees, so it is difficult to pull it down, but it is rather large. It is as big as an ox, so it is not easy to get it out.
As Mukhyeong was struggling to pull the rope out, the general approached and threw the rope.
“Tie it up.”
“yes.”
When I try to tie my legs, the horns get caught.
“Oh! Look at this green dragon. It will be a tonic.”
“Eat and cheer up.”
“Ahahahaha!”
Mukhyeong tied the deer’s feet with rope and connected it to the horse. The man and the horse worked together to pull it out without difficulty. It was big. Bigger than an ox. Mukhyeong grabbed the deer’s horns from behind and had the horse pull it from the front, and they took it out to the pasture. The pig was lying on its side, smelling like the lord had already brought it.
“Whew! How do I move it?”
“I have to find your words. I can’t do it alone.”
“It must be somewhere over there.”
He pointed to the low forest behind the path he had come from. The young leaves swayed in the wind, reflecting the sunlight delicately.
“I’ll come find you, so take care of it.”
“yes.”
Mukhyeong answered briefly and dug a hole next to the dead animal. He cut open the animal’s stomach with a hunting knife and took out its entrails. He took out the entrails, which were steaming hot, and buried them in the ground, covering them with dirt. When the dirty and rough work was over, the great lord brought his horse. A group of soldiers followed him. It seemed that he had brought the soldiers because he had hunted the animal but had no way to deal with it.
While working at Geumwon, they hunt knowingly or unknowingly. It is something that should never be done, but they are soldiers who are hungry. They eat them with the determination to be beaten with a stick 50 times and erase the traces. When they say they will bring them to the school building, they say they will bring them to you, but then it will be revealed that they hunted at Geumwon.
“Can you put me on the back of a horse so I can pull it along?”
“It’s impossible.”
“sun!”
“Loyalty!”
The men brought long sticks, placed two of them, tied a sack together, and placed the two sticks on the horse’s back. The two sticks dragged on the ground, but they were still able to be dragged. They tied them tightly so that they would not fall to the ground and placed them on the two horses, and the king laughed loudly, saying, “It’s great.”
“Hahaha! That’s great! You should have done this earlier. You guys worked hard!”
The prince handed over a few coins and told him to buy him a drink at the inn.
“I have to go back.”
Mukhyeong pointed to the other side of the mountain.
“I think we should go back that way. We don’t want to look like we came from the gold mine.”
“That’s right. You’re really smart in that regard.”
“Shouldn’t you eat the hasuo?”
“Of course. Hahaha!”
The two men hurried their way back, keeping time with the rhythm. The two sticks dragged on the ground, creating deep furrows. They kept looking back and hurried their way.
Before climbing onto the ridge, I looked far into the distance and then climbed up carefully. The horse, walking slowly, seemed to be having a hard time as it kept yapping. It seemed as if it was protesting that I was not a pack horse, and it was like a person who kept looking back as if it was afraid of the time it was startled by a wild boar.

“With this, we will be first place.”
“Of course. There aren’t many big animals up in the mountains.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehe.”
When the two of them returned to the place where they had started, Dalcheon was sitting at the foot of the mountain. The prince let out a deep breath.
“That guy is studying in the meantime!”
“You are a really good student.”
“So don’t cross the line.”
“Yes.”
“When do you think you’ll reach your peak? You seem to be working hard these days… … .”
The silent brow furrowed with worry. Those who have crossed the realm know the process they have gone through, but to those who have not crossed the realm, it seems like an infinitely impossible distance. There is no way of knowing when it will happen.
“I don’t know. I have to try harder.”
“Is studying at the academy helpful?”
“Of course. Now I know why I stopped a long time ago.”
“What was the reason?”
“It’s a memory. I realized too late that the memory was tormenting me.”
“No, shouldn’t someone who studies also remember?”
“That’s not it. You shouldn’t be bound.”
“The mind is free. That is how it should be.”
“Yes.”
“Me too.”
At some point, the conversation between the two ended up being about studying. It was because of Dalcheon. Dalcheon, sitting in the shade of a tree at the entrance of a shallow hill, was studying again for an hour while waiting. In our opinion, people who have reached a point where they can stop now work harder than us who are crawling on the floor. I am ashamed of the many hours I spent playing around for no reason.
“That guy is studying again… … . Really.”
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you focusing too much on your internal energy? If you’re a Taoist, you should be able to practice and make talismans… … .”
“Hmm, let me ask you something.”
“Hmm, I guess you have something in mind.”
“Don’t you think that it’s not the spirit of leadership? That is, it’s a sword-wielding unmanned person.”
“That could be true. But you’re still young, so you might not have learned it yet.”
“No way.”
It took quite a while to get there, as I couldn’t move fast enough to drag the animal. While I was crawling along, nodding along like a snail, Dalcheon got up and jumped. It seemed like he couldn’t see behind him because of the horse.
Mukhyeong slightly turned his direction so that he could see behind him. Dalcheon jumped when he saw pigs and deer lined up in front of him. He ran as fast as his feet touched the ground, and arrived in front of him in an instant.
“You caught a big one.”
Mukhyeong spoke quietly, looking at the forest where those who had not yet arrived were located.
“We are number one.”
“Hahaha. I’ll have to try the long and short ones. They haven’t arrived yet. Wow, look at how big this is! Did you catch it in Geumwon?”
He spoke quickly and urgently, as if he was surprised by something.
“Of course.”
“Hehe, ehehe. This is enough to distribute to the neighborhood instead of having a party. Wow, the pig is this big!”
“I’ll stop here.”
“Oh, it was so-so deep in the mountains.”
Dalcheon looked closely at the deer’s antlers. The prince let out a word.
“It’s good green tea. I’ll have to eat it. I was talking about whether I should go to a doctor.”
“A doctor? Why?”
“You should take some health supplements.”
“Hehehe, hehehe. We also do elixirs. You don’t need a doctor. Just look at it, and you don’t even need to ask questions.”
“You know by looking at it? A person, or rather, a person’s condition?”
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
It sounded like he could know a person’s health condition without asking questions. It also seemed like he could make a suitable medicine for them. The prince asked urgently.
“Are you saying that the Lord can make medicine?”
“Of course. It is a low-level study to look at the temperament and mix the ingredients to make it effective. Of course, you have to practice.”
“But why haven’t we ever seen it and learned about it?”
“It’s not easy because it’s quite tricky. It’s easy to make medicine, but it takes sincerity and the right conditions to make it work by calculating with fire, energy, and spirit… … So it’s all about timing.
There are also quite a few things to prepare. Compared to the sincerity, the results are often not that good. So, I focus on studying the internal energy that is certain to be effective. So, there are few cases where you reach the extreme or achieve harmony by eating it. Even if you have all the conditions and put in your sincerity, if there is no divine energy, it is just trash.”
As the explanation gets longer, this gentleman starts talking nonsense again. It’s as if he doesn’t know how to do it, and it’s distrustful, but he’s still enthusiastic.
