Episode 108. Is that what family is like?
Poongyeoncho and Takgomyeong, who won the fight, ran towards Haewonsangbang this time.
Then, the warriors of Geumseon Sangbang followed the two with loud shouts.
Poongyeoncho and Takgomyeong were advancing at a rapid pace.
The trajectories drawn by the two people’s Park Do were almost similar.
The technique of going up from the bottom to the top in a zigzag pattern is the Il-sik Biryongseongcheon. The left-right consecutive strikes from the top to the bottom are the I-sik Yongmucheonsang.
As the two swords moved up and down, the blue pottery stretched out.
There was no ronin who could stop the typified pottery in this place.
The swords were cut with a snap, and the ronin of the shipping company retreated in a daze.
The speaker’s mouth fell open in shock at the absurd sight.
It was so different from the Dragon Rising and Dragon Martial Arts that he knew.
‘Is that the Nine Heaven Sword?’
Chiring, chiring.
The speaker suddenly came to his senses as Guhwando suddenly approached him.
She accidentally used the method of ascending the dragon to strike the Guhwando.
Chae-Ang-.
However, rather than being bounced off, the sword stuck to the sword with even stronger force.
Chiririri-.
The horseman’s sword, which had been pushing forward roughly, stopped in front of the speaker’s face.
“Yeon Dae-ju, would you like to continue? It seems like the fight is already over.”
“… … .”
The speaker gritted his teeth as he spoke on horseback.
It’s just as he said.
The warriors of Haewonsangbang were lowering their weapons one by one.
It was a disappointing result for a fight between 30 and 50 year olds, but it had to be accepted.
As the speaker, who had lost his will to fight, let go of the strength in his hands, Masang also slowly stepped back.
Simtong, who was hiding on the rooftop with Yeonjeokha and watching the fight, said.
“Hehehe, Your Majesty, are you feeling a little more at ease now?”
“Why are your eyes like that?”
“Didn’t I tell you? You’ll do well. When it’s time for the chicks to hatch, they come out of the nest right away… … .”
“Push? Drop?”
“That’s it, hmm, hmm, I remember hearing a similar story somewhere. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to learn the law. Brother Fung and Brother Tak will do well enough. But weren’t they the ones who once commanded in the mountains?”
“I guess so.”
“I understand that you are worried about your sworn brothers, but you can’t follow them around and watch over them for the rest of your life, right? So why don’t you go now?”
“What are you talking about, grim reaper? Why are you being so scary?”
“Hehehe. I’m sorry if it sounded that way. I think you’re being too foolish, Your Majesty.”
“No. I don’t have anything to do right now, so I just came to look around… … .”
“Oh, yes. I guess so.”
Simtong nodded dryly.
After watching him for a long time, I think I know him to some extent now. He seems shameless, but he’s surprisingly timid, so you shouldn’t believe everything he says.
“Old Man Shim.”
“yes.”
“I mean, when I think of my brothers, I hope they all do well.”
“yes…….”
Simtong felt a strange sense of heaviness in Yeonjeokha’s voice, which sounded somewhat lonely.
“Is that the case with family too?”
“That’s because I was an orphan with no one to rely on… … I don’t know much about family ties.”
“I see. You don’t know because you’re an orphan. You only know that now. It’s not wrong for Chae-yeon and So-baek to say that I’m dull whenever they see me. Let’s go.”
Yeonjeokha flew into the darkness.
Simtong, who had been standing there blankly, pondering what he meant, hurriedly followed him.
***
A land god shrine outside of Gaebong.
Late at night.
A bonfire is burning brightly in the center of the inner courtyard.
An old man and a young man, who looked like beggars, were conversing while smoking something over a campfire. They were sometimes more focused on smoking, but judging by their serious faces, their purpose seemed to be conversation.
The beggar boy continued talking, flipping over the duck that was tied to the tree.
“The ones who helped Pungga and Takga back then were the young man and the old man. According to what I found out, they were all from Waryongjang.”
“Warryongjang? Are you talking about the Warryongjang of the True Moon Swordsman?”
“Yes, that young man said he was Yeon Jeok-ha, the fourth son of Yeon Mu-ryong. The old man’s nickname and name was Gucheon No-do Sim-tong. But there was something a little strange.”
“strange thing?”
“According to witnesses, it is said that not only Pungga and Takga, but even Simtong had a hard time with Yeonjeokha.”
“Hmm! If he’s the son of Yeonmu-ryong, he must be far from a famous person.”
The drunkard nodded his head as if he liked it.
“It’s not that far off. This is a story that came from above, and it’s said that he and Simtong killed a famous religious leader in Nanyang.”
“You killed a famous religious leader?”
The startled drunkard’s eyes widened.
It was hard to believe that the ronin had killed a famous sect master who avoided even the Seven Paimon.
“He even killed one of the four great gods of the Milky Way, Daeryukgui.”
“Wow! If you’re a great demon, aren’t you the Ten Horse Soldiers? You killed someone who was given supernatural powers?”
The voice of the drunkard grew louder.
Officially, the Seven-Pay Clan has ceased its activities, but that does not mean that all of them are like that. The knights who are entangled with the Eunwon have fought against the famous cult as individuals. However, no one has killed the Sipduma Byeong so far.
“Yes, I heard that they were looking for those two people in the galaxy for that reason.”
“Huh! Then I guess we should consider them as being completely against the famous religion. They are meat-eating.”
“yes.”
So Gwang Gae quickly took out the duck meat and blew out the fire on the outside. Then he immediately tore off one of the legs and offered it to the drunkard.
The drunkard blew on the leg he was handed and then put it in his mouth.
The little eagle also picked up a piece of meat and ate it.
Their conversation was interrupted as they focused on eating.
When his stomach was somewhat full, the drunkard wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
“Ugh! There should have been alcohol… … .”
“That’s right. I’ve been neglecting begging lately, so I haven’t been able to get any alcohol.”
The little owl scratched its head with an awkward expression.
Ducks can be picked up as soon as they catch your eye, but alcohol has to be bought with money. At this moment, it’s a bit regrettable that I ran around sparing myself the time to beg.
“Phew! That’s enough, since you’ve obtained information more valuable than alcohol. Don’t take it to heart.”
“But, Master. These are the things we found out after working so hard.”
“Yes.”
“Is it useful?”
“Of course. Do you know why people go to Haomen with money? They go there to get information. We are people who have time to spare, so we collected the information ourselves.”
“What I mean is, what use is this? In the Chilpaemun, they don’t even treat us like a breakwater. We’ve never even received the martial arts certificate that everyone else receives… … .”
“Someday, you will understand.”
“When is that time?”
“Inseok. Even dog poop can be used as medicine, right? Do you think we are worse than dog poop?”
“It’s a little better than dog shit.”
A self-deprecating smile appeared on So-Gwang-Gae’s face.
It’s really frustrating to think of an open position that’s only slightly better than dog shit.

Yeoju.
Milky Way.
The residence of Honsegeomma Cheok Jin-gyeong.
Chuck Jin-kyung, who was breathing heavily and looking quite angry, slammed the table with his palm.
bang!
“These idiots! It’s been days since the Great Power died in Nanyang! How can you say you still haven’t found the evil spirits?”
Eumsan-gwi, Musang-gwi, and Muyeong-gwi, who were standing across the table, shrugged their shoulders in surprise.
After a while, when Cheok Jin-gyeong’s breathing calmed down, Eum San-gwi spoke cautiously.
“I found out who they are. The old one says Simtong, and the young one says Yeonjeok. However, they are wandering ronin with no fixed residence… … .”
“Are you saying that a great demon was defeated by a mere ronin? Ten horse soldiers were killed by a ronin?”
The history of the famous religion is not very long, but it is still over thirty years. During that time, many masters have lost their lives, but this is the first time that a Sipduma soldier has died.
“As it turned out, he wasn’t just a simple ronin.”
“What if it’s not simple?”
“Do you remember the swordsman who became famous by fighting the Wolha Sage back in the day?”
“Are you talking about the True Moon Swordsman?”
“Yes, they are said to be disciples of the Waryongjang he established.”
“That Waryongjang where Wolha Church is located?”
“yes.”
“What the hell! Is that what the scattered remnants of last year did?”
“That’s right.”
“If you want revenge, do it at the Moonlight Church. Why are you touching the Four Great Guardian Kings of the Milky Way?”
The seven famous sects did not interfere with the affairs of other sects as if they were independent sects. This was a side effect of the fierce competition to take over the Palju Pass.
Musanggui chimed in.
“It’s unlikely that he did it knowingly. They say that no one knew that Daeryeokgui went to Nanyang at Hongbang’s invitation.”
“You didn’t do this with the intention of targeting the Milky Way or the famous church?”
“It appears so.”
“Just because you didn’t do it on purpose doesn’t mean the crime of killing the Great Power Ghost is any less serious.”
“… … .”
The three men bowed their heads as if they were sorry.
They too are desperate to avenge the Great Demon.
But how can we find the ronin wandering around the world like Bupyeong Elementary School?
Chuck Jin-kyung was also frustrated.
The opponents are those who killed the great demon, the Ten-headed Horseman.
It would be meaningless to issue a death order to the common famous believers, so the ten horsemen should go and catch them themselves.
Now, the twelve cavalry of the Milky Way are three generals and two guardians.
Five people are searching the world, when will it be possible to catch them!
Muyeong-gwi, who had been observing the situation, opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty, if those guys are disciples of Waryongjang, wouldn’t they get involved with Wolha Church at some point? How about we look around Wolha Church and seize the opportunity?”
Cheok Jin-gyeong, who had been silent with a displeased expression, nodded.
In fact, there was no other sharp point besides that.
The only good thing is that Wolha Church is not too far away.
“Is there anyone at Wolha Church who can work for us?”
“If you leave it to me, I will try to recruit someone who is suitable for the job.”
“Let it be so.”
Chuck Jin-kyung sighed secretly.
It’s surprising that there are things that even the famous Baekdu Horse Army can’t do anything about. Who would have thought that a fallen ronin would cause such trouble?

release.
Haewon Sangbang.
Yeon-seon-ju lived in a separate building attached to the upper room at the suggestion of Do-bu-yeong of Bangju. If Do-bu-yeong hired an escort without spending a single penny, Yeon-seon-ju was able to get food and lodging for free.
midnight.
The speaker, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly sat up.
As soon as I closed my eyes, the images of Pungga and Takga came to mind, and I couldn’t sleep.
‘How on earth did you do it? Why do the same shapes produce different results?’
I was so curious and frustrated that I thought my head would explode.
It must have been three years at most since they first met Yeonjeokha at Mt. Obong.
‘You’ve had a pottery eruption after three years?’
Of course, it could be possible if the martial arts skills of Pungga and Takga were high.
But considering that they learned martial arts from Yeonjeokha, it is highly unlikely. In the end, it means that Yeonjeokha made them like that in a short period of time.
The speaker wanted to go and ask Yeonjeokha right away.
Is that possible?
I was curious about the secret secrets of my ancestors that I and my brothers did not know about.
I felt like I could leap forward if I just heard one word.
If you just listen to one word.
Wuxia,
