Login Murim Episode 1014
Thousands of men and horses were crossing the vast wilderness, and among them, the leader, the Black Dragon Demon Gate, was playing the role of vanguard and guide.
Of course, there were some who were busy squinting at someone far away with curious eyes.
“I only heard about you, but you’re much younger than I thought. I don’t think you’re even a few years older than me.”
“I said it would be on the verge of filial piety at best, so it’s worth it. Anyway, I’m sure you can’t fool the bloodline. “I put Lord Moon in her face.”
“It’s called the Black Dragon Sword”… It starts with the nickname. So, is the rumor true?”
Have we finally reached the terms and conditions?
The middle-aged man frowned in annoyance at the unexpected question from the young man who had not yet lost his temper.
“What rumor are you talking about? In any case, I wouldn’t be asking questions without knowing that I, like you, am blind to internal affairs.”
When the young man showed his displeasure without hiding it, he hurriedly waved his hand.
“It’s no big deal. “I just heard that our Lord Somoon is stronger than the Sipbongtong (十鳳龍) of the central plains.”
“You don’t know. “I’ve never even seen Sipbontong.”
“Yes. “Sibbontong.”
“what?”
“No, I didn’t necessarily mean that you’ve seen Somunju before.”
The middle-aged man, who was glaring at the young man who was slightly avoiding his gaze, soon shook his head.
“I don’t know which guy started the rumor, but don’t believe it. It’s all nonsense.”
“That’s bullshit?”
“okay.”
“That’s strange. You told me directly last time. “I was very drunk.”
“So are you sure? Five years ago, the person who single-handedly wiped out Ildodanae (一刀斷.善), the ark of the Dan clan, and his twenty subordinates…
“Stop. Stop there.”
The middle-aged man’s firm voice did not stop the young man from continuing his conversation, but his awe-filled gaze never left the one person he had been looking at sideways. Heukryongdo Simapyo.
He is the minor lord of the Black Dragon Demon Gate to which the two belong, and the heir who will one day lead the Sapa Martial Forest following Sima Gong, the King of the Black Night.
As if to prove that it had not been long since he entered the Black Dragon Demon Gate, the young man, wearing a crisp ceremonial uniform that had not yet faded, could not hide his admiration.
‘That story was all true.’
In the past, the blood history that took place in Danhyeolbang, which was one of the axis of Gansu’s martial arts, was so famous that no one knew about it.
This was because Ildo Dan-ae, a single-blooded ark, who was one of the top 10 thieves in Gansu Province, and his limbs were found with gruesome corpses all at once.
After that?
What should I say?
It was natural for a body that had lost its head to fall over.
Even more so in Gansu Province, which has become the headquarters of the Sapa martial arts due to the power of the Black Dragon Demon Gate.
Danhyeolbang, which once had a force of 300 people, fell into ruin, and now, after five years, it has naturally been forgotten by people.
No, no one bothered to remember.
There was also a small dispute between the Danhyeolbang and the Black Dragon Demon Gate not long before the Blood Death occurred.
On the day when an unknown evil beast came, the head guard, who was supposed to be guarding the base where the blood ark and the leaders gathered in one place and exchanged drinks, left the place with his subordinates.
And the fact that the guard in question became the head of the Black Dragon Demon Gate in less than a month.
So everything was forgotten. I had to forget. The identity of the evil beast who must have been capable of killing a teenage thief in Gansu and the background of the person who instigated it, as well as where all of Danhyeolbang’s assets and farm supplies went.
However, the martial artists of Sapa, who were fully aware of the circumstances, were convinced that this was only the surface.
At the same time, I was in awe.
At this moment, as another Safa person, a young man looks at Sima Biao with admiration.
“It’s really, really amazing. Isn’t it? You didn’t become the heir over your half-elder brothers for nothing…”
The young man swallowed his breath without realizing it.
What was reflected in his trembling eyes was the image of a middle-aged man holding a sword with his face contorted to the extreme.
“You really want to die, I’m so crazy.”
The voice was so soft that even the young man who was running right next to him with his horse’s head side by side could not have heard it unless he was paying close attention.
However, the killing energy contained within it seemed to squeeze the heart of a young man who was still just a rookie.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Shut that snout. “If you want to survive just a few more days.”
The middle-aged man quickly cut off the young man’s stuttering voice and quickly looked around.
Is it because I was running through a vast wilderness?
Fortunately, the distance between the men and horses was far away, and the sound of thousands of horses’ hooves running ceaselessly and the fierce wind blocked their conversation before it reached anyone’s ears.
“You seem like a cool guy.”
“Ah, uncle.”
“I don’t say it twice. If you want to live, close your mouth.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Leaving behind the trembling young man, the middle-aged man with a cold face spurred his horse and sighed inwardly.
He probably doesn’t know.
What a careless and foolish mistake I made just a moment ago.
The fact is that if that remark, which was like a taboo within the Black Dragon Demon Gate, had passed through someone’s mouth and ears to the higher-ups, he would have lost his life in vain.
‘Maybe… we may never know.’
It takes quite a long time for a person to mature.
However, in a war that suddenly comes, the enemy steals the time before it is ripe.
And at that moment, when the middle-aged man’s eyes became deep as he remembered the battle that was about to take place, his new brother trembled.
‘what?’
An inexplicable feeling of déjà vu instantly gripped my entire body.
However, the middle-aged man, who quickly turned his head and looked in all directions, was unable to figure out the identity of the deja vu and had to focus on his original task again.
He was unaware of the fact that two pairs of eyes were passing by him, more than a dozen feet away.
“Hey!”
Purr, purr.
A courser running while breathing heavily.
As the middle-aged man slowly took the lead, a young man who belatedly came to his senses followed with a pale face.
“Let’s go together!”
When one person opens his mouth alone, it is nothing more than a simple word, but when ten people gather together, it becomes a shout, and when the number exceeds one hundred, it becomes a shout.
However, even though three thousand people and horses were running in one direction at the same time, the conversation between the father and son was clearly penetrating each other’s ears.
“There are a lot of faces I’m seeing for the first time.” “That’s how it happened.”
“I see someone who can be quite useful.”
“Even in hastily collected mud, there are pearls. “It can be easily broken by even trivial things.”
The son, who knew the meaning behind the words, remained silent, and the father did not miss the sight of his son.
As always, as it has always been. “Do you care about them?”
In response to Sima Gong’s soft question, King of the Dark Night, Sima Piao, who had been silently watching the front, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Maybe it’s because I saw the scenery of the central plains, but my puns have increased compared to before.”
“There wasn’t much to see. I guess I had some bad luck, but wherever I went I was in trouble. “Of course, you already know that.”
“Yes, I know because I heard the report. There must have been some kind of mistake along the way, but one day Jeon Seo-gu didn’t come back, so I had to take care of it myself. Because it was far from being able to obtain information in a timely manner, my head of the family suffered quite a bit.”
“I had no choice. Yunnan was not a very good environment for exchanging news.”
“I’m not reprimanding. This father also knows very well what happened in the Namman Beast Palace. But…
Sima Piao listened in silence.
Hoping that what his father said next was what he wanted.
But what was expected did not happen.
As always, this time too.
“How come you didn’t send a letter after that?”
“Do you mean the war record?”
“Yes, I know there have been several opportunities since leaving Yunnan. Even in Imperial Capital and Taiyuan Jinga. “Am I wrong?”
What should I say?
My mouth feels rough as if I chewed a handful of sand. Sima Pyo opened her mouth, feeling the strong wind hitting her whole body.
“Half right, half wrong.”
“what?”
“In the imperial capital, you had to hide your identity and even disguise yourself to avoid surveillance. The road there wasn’t smooth either. Of course, there was nothing more to say after entering the imperial palace.”
Sima Gong stared at his son’s profile.
As if he was going to find even the smallest gap. “Please continue.”
“Even immediately after the incident at the imperial palace was concluded, the situation did not improve. “We had to stay inside the imperial palace for a short period of time, and had to head straight to Shanxi without even getting a proper rest.”
“Unlike in the imperial palace, I understand that there were no major injuries in Shanxi. Am I mistaken?”
“What you know is correct. So, it was only then that I was able to receive the complete letter from the main text.”
“That definitely means that the order has been confirmed.”
“yes. I saw it. “Definitely.”
Sima Gong’s eyes sank even deeper at the answer that did not show even the slightest hesitation.
“The Hwawang (火王) and his disciples should have headed to Cheonghae, not here. “Is what you confirmed correct?”
“That’s right.”
“The main gate is in danger, so I told you to return to Gansu at any cost. “Is this also correct?”
“Exactly.”
“Then, finally, is there any reasonable reason or basis for not carrying out my orders even after seeing my official?”
At that moment, Sima Biao turned his head and looked straight at his father.
“doesn’t exist.”
“······!”
“I will not give any excuses or reasons. Since I did not follow the order properly, I will receive the appropriate punishment. Please forgive me.”
Seeing his son’s unexpected appearance, Sima Gong was silent for a moment.
And that moment of silence between the two was soon cut off by a soft laugh that escaped Sima Gong’s lips.
“Ugh. Hahaha.”
Despite the sudden sound of laughter, none of the people surrounding the father and son, as if guarding them, reacted.
As Sima Gong’s servants, they were all excellent masters of the peak, but in front of their lord, they were no different from blind and deaf.
But Sima Biao was different,
He stared at his father with calm eyes.
At some point, the sound of laughter stops, and the next voice fills the empty space.
“It’s a ticket. “My son.”
The voice that reached my ears was as soft as silk, but the eyes that appeared between those lips were sharp as blades.
“If you dared tell a lie to my face, then…
Sima Gong’s eyes were bent like half moons, with his words slowly fading away before he could finish them.
“Only today did I realize that sending you to the midfield was truly the right decision.”
Tuk-tuk.
Is it because of the wind blowing in the wilderness?
Sima Gong, who patted his son’s shoulder with an unusually cold hand, opened his mouth with a satisfied face.
“You’ve grown. “Very good.”
After saying those words, the son turned his head and looked at his father’s back in the distance, just looking at him in silence.
“Those two people from a little while ago, let them take care of themselves.”
Until the sight of Sima Gong, who decided the fate of the two unknown warriors with a single word, with a simple slip of tongue, disappeared completely from sight.
And, as his name suggests, a friend who has been a strong supporter since childhood approached me and asked me this in a trembling voice.
“Lord, my lord. “Are you okay?”
To Taesan’s question, which was filled with worry, Sima Pyo answered calmly.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
It was truly unknown.
The reason why my heart feels tight even though I am running through such a wide wilderness.
A few people’s faces pass by in the gray sky that spreads above everyone’s heads.
However, Sima Piao did not turn his head.
Now, the place he should be was not Hwaryongak, but Black Dragon Demon Gate.
