[Day 119] Beyond the Bamboo Grove

1. In the Day 119 installment of Samgukji 365, I Jeok, Seok Do and a nameless young man gather at a thatched hut beyond the bamboo grove south of Yangyang and decide to spread rumors of a retired sage.
2. The hut's elderly owner, nearing seventy, asks I Jeok to spread the rumor quietly for a month, without his name, that "a sage lives in the south."
3. The series foreshadows that this rumor will reach Yu Bi in Sinya a month later, and that Day 120 tomorrow is the finale of Book 4, "The Night of Letting Everything Go."
