Chapter 269
It feels like walking on a cushion of thorns, no, on a thorny field.
Every time I took a step along the Maejonghak, my face stung from the stares flying at me.
The emotion contained in that gaze is awe and curiosity.
Now everyone knows. The fact that the identity of the young man who was treated as a lucky soldier in the village just a few days ago was a great soldier called the swordsman.
“Right? Geomseong Maijonghak Daehyeop.”
“Hey, you look so young. I thought Banrohwandong was absurd nonsense.”
“As expected, Maejonghak Daehyeop. He turned Moorim upside down.”
The muffled conversations of the people pierced my ears.
“But who is next to you?”
“It’s Shanseo Jamryong, Jin Taegyeong. I heard from someone I knew yesterday, that Shanseo Jamryong grabbed Maejonghak Daehyeop by the throat while doing this and that, huh?”
“Huh. Wouldn’t that be enough to be a light dragon rather than a mountain lion?”
no, civet. Did I know that
I did it because I didn’t know
Mae Jong-hak chuckled as he glared at the people whispering.
“It’s okay. Friends can do that, what?”
You kill me twice.
We moved to people’s quiet backyards.
It’s still early spring, but the weather was warm and the flowers were in full bloom. Maijonghak, who was walking while looking at an unknown flower, opened his mouth.
“First of all, I should say thank you.”
“which… … ?”
“Blue wind. I heard that he was a great strength to the child.”
“Do you have any strength?”
“I don’t know the details, but it must have been a big help to call that child a benefactor.”
I don’t know the details, but I don’t know too much?
I wondered what kind of expression Mae Jong-hak would make if he gave a few to Bingdangho and heard the sound of benefactors.
“Actually, I was very worried about that child. But this time, seeing you, I put my mind at ease. I owe you my heart.”
“Ah, yes.”
I don’t want to talk about Bingdang Lake. It is said that Sword Saint owes a debt of heart, but there is no need to eat my flesh.
“Is the Qing Xiaoxi doing well?”
“I have recovered to the point where I can move. As soon as I opened my eyes, they swarmed to see you.”
“Oops. So how did it go?”
“hmm? They became quiet when they gave me dumplings.”
After all, 20 years of parenting is not going anywhere. He knows very precisely how to handle blue wind.
“How is the enemy confrontation?”
“You haven’t woken up yet. I still have something to ask you about that… … “
“Ask me anything.”
I opened my mouth with difficulty.
“The possibility of never waking up???… Are you there?”
Hmm.”
Maison Hak stroked his smooth chin.
“What did the councilor I sent say?”
“Oh, you mean that person?”
When I remembered the rat-looking old clinic I visited for a short time yesterday, I felt bad.
“He was a complete quack.”
“Quack. You mean Luoyang Kaiui?”
“Lokyang Kaigi or something. After looking at it for a while, they quickly walk away saying there is no way to do anything about it. What is that quack?”
What kind of old man had such great spirit, when I grabbed his arm in absurdity, he screamed hard enough to deafen my ears.
He yelled that he would never see Jeokcheongang’s treatment again, so he had no choice but to let go.
Maijonghak, who heard the story, clicked his tongue.
“Speaking of Luoyang Kai, it is a well-known name in the Central Plains. He has an eccentric personality like Byulho, but there is no doubt about his skills.”
“then… … “
My heart sank at the sight of Maijonghak nodding his head.
As if that thought was evident on his face, he patted me on the back.
“Don’t worry too much. If life and death were in jeopardy, Luo Yang Guei wouldn’t have just returned.”
It was a warm consolation, but all the troubles in my heart did not disappear.
It is the Jeokcheongang that seemed to wake up soon.
For the past year, he has been a teacher who has generously passed on everything to me, and on the other hand, he has been like a paternal grandfather.
‘no. Nothing special.’
I tried to suppress the growing anxiety.
I have already looked at the state of the Jeokcheongang among the warriors and famous people who are among the ten fingers in the world. For now, it was best to trust them.
After thinking about it, I changed the subject.
“Are there more facts about Amcheon?”
“It’s dark… … “
Mae Jong-hak looked at the flower field with a strange expression.
“I can’t figure it out at all.”
“What parts are you talking about?”
“entire.”
”yes?”
“Let me ask you. Did you notice anything strange about this incident?”
I was deep in thought before opening my mouth.
Yesterday, too many things were going on in a hurry, so I didn’t notice it, but there is something that definitely raises my doubts.
“If it’s something I felt strange… there are a few things.”
“Something?”
“First of all, I don’t know their intentions.”
“Go on.”
“If Amchun had intended to hit Murim, he should have prepared a bigger blow.”
The spirits of the rightist faction, Murim, gathered in one place.
If Amchun’s goal is to destroy the political faction and take over the world, it’s probably worth planting explosives at least.
Regardless of the possibility of success, it is a golden opportunity to annihilate the enemy’s leadership in one fell swoop.
However, the only sacrifices were King Guengdao and Shaolin Temple. They set a clear target from the beginning and moved.
“If you show up like this, it means that you are ready to fight to some extent… … It feels like he took an iron coin instead of a hermit while revealing his true identity.”
Maijonghak, who had been quietly listening to the story, suddenly opened his mouth.
“The metaphor is wrong. Shaolin Temple is the symbol of the sect. Dark Heaven imprinted their existence by destroying that symbol.”
“Was it necessary?”
“There are many speculations. The first is that they want a head-to-head match.”
“… … I hope so.”
“Don’t look down on the devil. They are ruled only by blood and power. That was no different from the demonic world during the Great War. I can’t figure it out at all.”
Maijonghak shook his head and continued.
“second. Darkness is just a tent.”
“A tent?”
“Do you know who the people who caused the bloodshed in Shaolin Temple are?”
“Yin-Yang twins… … ah.”
“okay. During the Great War, Daemaduji made a name for himself under the banner of the Demonic Cult.
Even though many years have passed, there is a strong possibility that he still follows the Demonic Cult.”
Amcheon is a chain store of the Demonic Cult. No, it could be a lower organization. As Maijonghak said, there was a good enough possibility.
If there’s just one thing that sticks out… … .
“Blood Lord, is he also a member of the Demonic Cult?”
“I don’t know.”
Maijonghak, who answered without hesitation, scratched his chin.
“The latent forces you learned and the explosive magic attack used by those who attacked Shaolin. And even the character of blood. It definitely smells like the Demonic Cult, but… … something different
It got darker and more bizarre.”
Mae Jong-hak is a living witness who experienced the Jeongma War with his whole body. He must have personally experienced their martial arts while fighting numerous enemies. What he says is no different from academic orthodoxy.
“Especially the technique I saw at the end was something I had never experienced before.”
It is not a new law or a light technique, but a technique.
I had heard that the Demonic Cult had all sorts of bizarre magic tricks, but I didn’t know that even such a thing would be possible.
Even I, who was used to magic, was surprised with my mouth wide open.
‘Isn’t that almost magic?’
Mindful of the possibility, unmanned soldiers searched the area thoroughly, but no blood vessels were found. It really disappeared as if it had been sunk into the ground.
“There is also disagreement as to where that number of enemies came from. If such a technique could be used on a large scale… … “
“It’s terrifying to think about.”
The word surprise is also ridiculous. If the enemies flashed in the east and west like Hong Gil-dong, it would be like lightning.
‘There must have been an uproar on the leadership side as well.’ The atmosphere was chaotic even when I briefly attended the previous day, but now it would be more, if not less.
It was a time when I clicked my tongue while thinking about this and that.
“Have you ever thought about that?”
Maijonghak’s transparent eyes stared at me.
“Why are they so obsessed with green jade fire?”
“well. Is it because it is a sacred object of Shaolin Temple?”
“It’s okay if you break it.”
“I think it might have been more focused on stealing. Honestly, I want to take it and use it for something.”
The chrysanthemum I remember was just a slightly special staff.
I thought it looked even more amazing because it was permeated with the authority of the head of Shaolin and the thousand-year history of Shaolin Temple.
It’s not an elder wand, what can I do with a green fluorescent wand?
“Yes, it could be. Other people’s opinions were like that.”
After that, Mae Jong-hak, who had been deep in thought, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Did you know that Ambassador Hongdo left me a letter?”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of pepper hair.”
“Maybe he guessed his fate, he left an arrangement. The letter said that you are a star that will drive away the darkness.”
“You are a genius I have never seen before. Look around. Who else has reached that level at that age?”
I thought for a moment and answered.
“It’s a blue wind.”
“ah. Right.”
“Pung crossed the climax when the child was eighteen. I think you would have done that too?”
“At that time, it went well in a different sense.
The nickname was Night King.”
“Oh, it is comparable to the ten kings. What do you mean?”
“no. I go to Giru so much.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
A chilly silence passed.
Mae Jong-hak, who had been scratching the back of his head unable to find anything to say for a moment, laughed.
“As expected, he is my grandson.”
“… … I will go alone.”
Behind me as I turned around, the call of the Maison Crane resonated.
“I’ll be back soon! With news that will surprise you!”
Oh, I’m feeling a bit rushed.
“Are you here?”
When he returned to the room where Jeokcheongang was lying, Hyukmujin bowed his head and said hello. Unlike before, I smiled heartily at the military discipline.
“okay. Work is done standing up like that. I can pull out my sword at any time, how nice it is.”
“of course. I will protect you.”
“uh. Just go.”
“Honorable name!”
It was at that time when Hyuk Moo-jin was about to quickly get out of the room.
“Put the gold nugget in your sleeve back.”
“If you don’t put it down until the count of three, you will be killed today. One, two.”
Shake well.
Hyuk Moo-jin, who had put down the gold mask that had been gathered by force earlier, lowered his head powerlessly.
“Oh, did you know?”
“Do I look like a Hogu?”
“Chief, please, this time I wrote even Yeomwangchae (閻王債)… … “
Even 100,000 pieces of silver wasn’t enough, so they even brought private loans. He’s crazy.
I clicked my tongue and put the gold nugget into my bosom.
“I see what you do.”
“Hey, that word… … “
“I’m taking a break from now, so don’t let anyone in. Even my older brother”
“So, you mean the cow lord too?”
“okay. Say you’re sleeping because you’re tired.”
Looking out the window, I see the sky slowly turning red.
“The deadline is tomorrow morning. can you do it?”
Hyukmujin nodded resolutely.
“I will give my life.”
“I know I won’t give it anyway, so keep what I said.”
“Honorable name!”
It sounds like John.
Hyuk Moo-jin, who had a bright color, smiled and moved away.
I stared at the face of Jeokcheongang, who seemed to be soundly asleep, and lay down on the bed next to me.
‘How much is this?’
The past year has been running without a break.
Now I desperately want to loosen the reins a little and return to the arms of my family.
‘log out.’
belt ring.
Along with the familiar notification sound, my vision was stained black.
