Chapter 406
Episode 406: This is my trophy (2)
Baek Yo-ran’s blue eyes flashed as he examined the leather given by Yu Seol.
Her extraordinary keen eye did not miss even the smallest detail.
“This is the skin of a spirit being. And the patterns engraved here are not the marks used in Jungwon. Maybe…”
“Are you heavenly?”
She nodded, feeling the texture of the leather.
“OK. Their way is probably right. Moreover, if the spirit’s skin had faded to this extent, it would have been more than two hundred years. “Where did you get this precious thing?”
The words “precious” caught Yoo Seol’s ear.
“Hi-Hi. “Of course it’s my loot.”
“You achieved something amazing. “Who on earth would carry something like this?”
Yu Seol explained to her all the events that had happened.
From what happened at Mount Hwagwa to defeating the Asura cult leader and obtaining this.
After hearing the whole story, Baek Yo-ran burst into laughter for a long time.
“This is a treasure map, right?”
“I’m not sure, but I think there’s something special hidden in this place, grandma.”
This was the place where the leader of the Asura religion came to this far-off central plain and wanted to visit in person.
Besides, wasn’t it a map made a long time ago? There was a high probability that something great was hidden.
Anyway, the most important thing was the location of the map.
Yoo Seol put her hands together like a puppy asking for a snack and her eyes shined.
“Can you tell me where it is? “Grandma can do it, right?”
It was a map depicting only the topography of some regions, not the entire Central Plains continent.
There was no clue, but her face was still full of composure.
“Maybe if I can’t find it, no one can. “Let’s take a look.”
“As expected, it was a good thing you ran straight to grandma.”
Baekyoran began to look at the terrain on the map in earnest, his eyes shining as clear as blue jewels.
The place where her fingertips were headed was a long river running across both ends of the map. And it was joining the great river again.
“The only river in the world this big is the Yangtze River. Moreover, the drop at the point where the tributaries meet is very large, and although it is an alpine area, there are many canyons.”
“Then where is this place?”
“It must be the Hansu basin, which is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. “It’s an area in the southwest of Shaanxi.”
Coincidentally, it was not far from Shaanxi, where Myohwabang’s headquarters was located. That’s why it wasn’t difficult to find out.
Yoo Seol’s face gradually brightened as she analyzed her reasoning without hesitation.
“Wow… As expected, grandma is really amazing. “There’s nothing you don’t know.”
“Huh. “It’s better than your own money, right?”
“We didn’t even ask my grandfather.”
Bai Yaoran, feeling better, continued the analysis.
“Good job. Can you see the mountain range extending east and west from Hansu here? And this point on the right is a sign pointing to a large city.”
“Then do you know where this is?”
“OK. “This city must be Hanjungseong, and the place where the marker was drawn must be Jeonggun Mountain.”
I never imagined that I would find it so easily.
Yoo Seol, filled with joy, hugged her neck tightly with both hands. It looked like he was playing a prank on his friend.
“Fuhihihi. “It’s truly the best!”
“Ugh. “I’m suffocating to death.”
Yu Seol released her neck and asked again.
“Then what is there here at Jeonggun Mountain?”
Bai Yaoran coughed a few times and took out a bunch of papers from the drawer under the bookshelf.
Surprisingly, they were all maps.
She rummaged through them, picked one up, and held it out.
“Now then, compare these two maps.”
Yoo Seol compared the picture written on the leather map with the map she held out.
Although the marking method was different, the structures were very similar in terms of the locations of rivers and mountain ranges.
“Wow! “I really feel like this is the right place!”
“OK. So now the important thing is where is Mt. Jeonggun? “Let’s find out what’s on the third peak.”
She looked through other maps again and pulled out a more enlarged map of the area.
“This map was obtained through great difficulty by my grandmother. “I paid a lot of money to buy it from scammers in the dark.”
“Yes? “Do you sell it at a high price?”
Eun Hwa-rin, the general secretary of Cheonyuhoe, was also a powerful figure in the intelligence organization Heukyabang.
It seemed that Myohwabang and Heukyabang were in a business relationship.
“All business people are like that. In any case, it is a map that shows the topography and characteristics of southern Shaanxi in detail.”
Yoo Seol shouted, pointing at a part of the map with his index finger.
“What’s marked here!”
Moreover, it was the third peak of Mt. Jeonggun that she had mentioned.
I thought maybe there was something to do with it.
“OK. There’s a place called Sinbimun (神祕門), and coincidentally, the location is similar.”
“hmm. “Is it a mysterious gate because it’s mysterious?”
She laughed for a while before continuing her explanation.
“Now that I think about it, it seems like that. “There is no information about this sect other than its name.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know why, but there hasn’t been much activity at Moorim so far. “Anyway, I’m sure it’s around here.”
Now that you have confirmed the approximate location, you will find out if you go and look for it yourself.
What exactly was it that the fearsome leader of the Asura religion came here to find? I was so curious that I was going crazy.
It was not the time to hesitate here.
Yu Seol hugged her tightly once again and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you so much, Grandma. “I won’t forget your grace.”
“What is grace? “If you find it, tell me what you found.”
“Yes, I promise!”
After leaving the drawing room, Yuseol went straight to the market and purchased the necessary items.
After that, I first headed to the headquarters of the Cheonyuhoe.
There is no need to carry weapons on your way to find treasure.
He took a bath with a pious heart and hid the dragon fire spear and gold baton in his office.
And it was just as we were about to quietly depart for our destination.
“Grandpa!”
Grandpa was walking from the other side. They said they were leaving a little late, but it looks like they have finally arrived at Huagu Mountain.
“What are those shovel handles on his back?”
Instead of weapons, two shovels purchased at the market were tied diagonally to Yuseol’s back.
“Are you bored? “Come with me somewhere for a while.”
“Where?”
Jinsan Yu, who didn’t have a busy schedule at the moment but couldn’t understand the meaning, looked confused.
“I got a treasure map from the cult leader? “There must be something amazing hidden here.”
Jinsan Yu still reacted indifferently.
This is because, contrary to the rumor going around that he was a treasure hunter, it did not mean much to him.
However, since it was a request from my one and only granddaughter, I could not coldly refuse it.
“Where is it? “Is it around here?”
“huh. “It’s on Mt. Jeonggun.”
What does nearby mean?
There was no way that Yu Jin-san did not know Jeong Gun-san. Because his hometown, Yu Jiajang, was also in Shaanxi.
To get there, you have to run non-stop for half a day.
I had a terrible headache.
After thinking about it, he grabbed his stomach with one hand and pretended to die.
“Oh my, it’s a boat. “I still have to pay the internal expenses…”
“Don’t lie. “I know you’re fine.”
As expected, it was impossible to deceive the granddaughter.
It may be a bit of a struggle, but if you run diligently, you should be able to make the round trip in one day.
Yu Jin-san headed to Jeonggun Mountain, led by his granddaughter, with a tearful expression on his face.
* * *
Arriving at Mt. Jeonggun, Yoo Seol dragged his grandfather and headed to the third peak.
We arrived at the exact location marked on the map.
“Here you go, grandpa.” “They say there’s a treasure hidden around here.”
Eugene San suddenly took a shovel from his granddaughter.
“You’re not going to dig up the whole area around here with Haejaebi, are you?”
Anyway, I wouldn’t use such an ignorant method.
Yoo Seol smiled and responded.
“How do you see Seol? “Leave it to me.”
Yu Seol closed his eyes and an intangible energy gushed out from his whole body and seeped into the ground.
And it began to spread out over great distances and explore every terrain.
It was about a moment ago.
“how is it? “Do you feel something?”
“Yes. See that rock right there? There’s some space down there. “Let’s go quickly and dig.”
Eugene-san stood facing his granddaughter and silently began digging the ground.
Complaints flowed non-stop from my mouth.
“oh my. “I can’t believe I’m a shovel at this age…”
“This could be a very important item for us.”
“I hope so.”
Phew! Tup-! Phew! Tup-!
Yu Jin-san, who continued to shovel without thinking, ended up being nagged by his granddaughter.
“Take care of yourself, grandpa. “My treasure could get hurt.”
“Okay, okay. I get it.”
The excavation work did not take long.
Below, as predicted, a huge box appeared.
What is the need for hesitation?
The moment I open it with a pounding heart. Suddenly, Yoo Seol’s eyes opened wide as if they were torn apart.
“Ugh?”
Unfortunately, there were only human-shaped bones lying around inside. It was a coffin.
“I knew grandpa would be like this. “Who hides treasure in a mountain like this?”
“Hey.”
“Let’s just cover it up and find another place.”
Yoo Seol and Grandfather’s treasure hunt continued for two hours.
However, no matter how much I looked into the suspicious area, I couldn’t find any clues. Even until the sun completely sets.
Yu Jin-san, who had run out of patience, spoke in an exhausted tone.
“I think someone has already found it and taken it away. “It’s clear if you look at those traces.”
Strangely enough, it was easy to find traces of digging in the ground here and there.
It seemed like there were other people trying to find the item.
However, Yu Seol never gave up.
“There is still one place left. “Let’s go over there.”
The place that Yu Seol guided us to was, of course, the mysterious gate that Baek Yo-ran had mentioned.
A quick glance showed that the site could accommodate about a hundred people, with several small pavilions surrounded by wooden fences.
It was surprising that such a sect had been established in the mountains, but that was not my interest.
“Isn’t it impossible to search someone else’s clan at this time? But I can’t wake him up and ask for permission.”
“It’s okay, grandpa. Fortunately, I can feel it from outside the fence.”
So what does it matter? All I had to do was quietly check and leave.
What Yoo Seol said was not wrong, but as it happened, it was the boundary line right in front of the wooden fence that served as a fence.
In any case, strictly speaking, it was outside the realm of mystical literature.
The grandparents stood side by side and silently began shoveling.
Phew! Tup-! Phew! Tup-!
“If it’s not here, I’ll just give up and go back.”
If you retreat like this, how can you be called a treasure hunter?
“No, you can never give up. “There’s no way it’s a dud.”
It was when I was shoveling for a while.
The warriors of the Sinbimun Gate, who had been on guard, discovered this scene.
A cry full of hostility was heard, as if they had been waiting.
“What are you guys!?”
Yoo Seol continued digging without even looking at the person.
“Never mind. “Because it’s not doing anything.”
Was it because it was a completely unexpected answer? The warriors who approached were so bewildered that they looked blank for a moment.
I was so speechless that I was at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, one of them narrowed their eyes and shouted.
“What are you guys doing, digging up the front yard of someone else’s clan at this time of night!?”
Phew! Tup-! Phew! Tup-!
“What do you think? It’s outside the fence. And is this mountain yours? “Why are you doing this to us?”
The warriors did not know what to do as the girl continued to talk back.
What kind of fuss is this at night?
The number of warriors continued to increase, and they began to climb over the wooden fence and surround Cao Son in layers.
“I asked where they came from.”
They were not the problem for Yu Seol now. This is because all my attention was now focused on the tip of the shovel.
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who had been quietly digging, persuaded them with a polite tone.
“This person is a high-ranking person from Cheonyuhoe. I have something to check for a moment, so don’t worry about it. “I’ll be back soon without making a fuss.”
Was it because it was deep at night? Unfortunately, they couldn’t remember Yin Kai’s impression. Because it was inconceivable that the supreme leader of the martial arts world was here.
If Josun had been seen as an expert, everyone would have quietly retreated.
However, on the outside, it only looked like the children of a Murim family were visiting and playing pranks without fear.
In this situation, Yu Jin-san’s persuasion felt like a provocation to the warriors of Sinbimun.
“Where do these young bastards make jokes!? “They say Cheon Yu-hoe has taken control of the martial arts forest these days, so it’s like a dog or a cow…”
The warrior, who was using evil words, could not finish his sentence and took a step to the side. This is because a middle-aged man as big as a mountain approached from behind and pushed him away.
He muttered, raising his palm as if he was going to hit Yu Jin-san in the face.
“Get out of the way. These crazy kids need to be beaten before they come to their senses.”
