Episode 150. Silver-haired Sodong (銀髮小童)
Han Ibi held the rope to the sharp rock face.
Then he immediately started rubbing it at a tremendous speed.
‘You have to do it quickly before the time runs out. There is a limit to how much power you can consume, so you have to do it all at once.’
Han Ibi used all the strength she had from breastfeeding to rub the bag.
It’s even more difficult when you do it backwards.
In any case, through random reverse acceleration, Han Ibi was rubbing the bag against the rock at a speed beyond imagination.
Time slows down except for you.
In other words, it meant that it was moving at an incredible speed.
‘Isn’t this the true nature of the relative time advantage that the strange voice was talking about? After all, I am a genius!’
It was then.
‘No, but what kind of smell is this…’
Han Ibi, who was sniffing, turned her head and looked at her wrist.
There, the speed was so fast that smoke was billowing out of the trap.
At the same time, frictional heat was generated and the wrist became so hot that it felt like it would break.
Han Ibi wanted to quit right away because of the pain.
‘But… we can’t waste our last chance.’
Han Ibi instantly activated the Dark Monster and protected her wrist.
In addition, seeing that the dull sound of water is gradually becoming more normal, it seems like time is running out.
Han Ibi squeezed out the last of her strength and waved her arms.
And finally….
thud.
‘Huh?’
It was cut off.
Cheonjamsa’s rope falling to the ground.
At the same time, the effect of random reversal acceleration reached its full potential.
My five senses had returned to normal.
He shouted with joy.
“succeded! Success! Shit. “But it hurts so bad.”
Han Ibi rubbed her wrists carefully.
Red blood was oozing out from the skin that had been crushed due to friction with the straps.
‘Oh my, it’s so bitter.’
Still…
“It’s refreshing.”
Yes.
This sense of liberation.
‘It felt so good to be able to use my arms freely!’
But I don’t have time for this.
Han Ibi turned her head and looked in the direction where the underground water was flowing.
Then I looked again at the night pearls scattered on the ceiling.
he muttered.
“I’m the better one out of all the dogs…”
Han Ibi suddenly got angry and jumped up the cave wall.
Then, in an instant, he swung his arm and dug out a night pearl.
Ok.
Han E-bi lands on the floor.
He put Yamyeongju in his arms.
Faint light was penetrating the fabric and traveling in all directions.
“Now let’s take the next step.’
Han Ibi walked slowly.
He took a deep breath and jumped into the hole.
with a plop.
“Oh my, it’s cold!”
Han Ibi barely managed to keep her balance in the water.
The chill that penetrates deep into the bones.
It instantly turned into pain.
It was so cold that it was truly unbearable.
Han Ibi, who was suffering, invigorated the meditation method and circulated it throughout her body.
After the cold subsided somewhat, the protruding chicken meat returned to its original state.
‘This makes it worth living. But… why is the current so fast?’
It’s not that it wasn’t, the groundwater was flowing at an incredible speed.
Han Ibi, who was walking with her body submerged up to her waist, was paying close attention to each step.
If you do it wrong, you might get swept away.
It was really dark inside.
If I hadn’t taken a night wine, I would have been in real trouble.
Han Ibi was relieved and slowly walked inside while maintaining her balance.
Well, it was a bit cold and the water was fast, but it was worth walking.
Except for one problem.
That is, this underground water stream becomes wider and deeper as it goes forward.
In an instant, the water reached under Han Ibi’s chin.
Han Ibi was conflicted.
But he soon made up his mind and nodded.
‘I can’t go back now. First… let’s give it a try.’
Now the water has started to exceed Han Ibi’s height.
As he went deeper, he floated on the water and started swimming.
In an instant, his body begins to flow along with the current.
Rather than swimming… I think it’s more accurate to say it’s floating on water.
But….
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
I heard something suspicious.
Even as Han Ibi was swimming frantically, she pricked her ears and tried to understand the identity of the sound.
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
This feeling is somehow familiar.
And finally the moment of realization.
“Oops!”
Yes.
Groundwater was falling down a huge, long valley created inside the cave.
So….
“Crazy! “There’s a waterfall in some underground cave!”
What is the use of Han Ibi shouting?
Han Ibi quickly activated her design analysis skills.
Han Ibi quickly looked around.
There was a small tributary next to the waterfall.
And that meant the last chance.
Han Ibi counted the numbers in her mind.
‘One, two, three!’
Then, he stretched out his arms and hugged a rock pillar that looked like a stalactite extending from the ceiling.
A wave of tremendous force.
It was like a villain who wanted to somehow drag Han Ibi’s body down the waterfall.
Han Ibi exerted a lot of strength and put strength into her arms.
Then, the brightly shining Crocodile Jihwan.
Han Ibi used her enhanced strength to hold on to another stalactite.
“Off!”
Gritting her teeth and moving her body, Han Ibi hugged another rock.
Going against the tide, Han Ibi was slowly moving towards the rock above the tributary of the current.
Now it’s about three steps to the rock.
However, there were no stalactites to support the body.
Han Ibi hesitated for a moment and thought.
‘Shit. It’s all or nothing.’
He combined the attribute of pleasure with the instantaneous power of a rock monster and instantly bounced up from the water.
And then…
chin.
Han Ibi’s right arm was barely holding onto the edge of the rock.
Already exhausted.
However, I finally squeezed my strength and pushed my body up again, applying a lot of force to my right hand.
After spinning around and somersaulting, he was finally able to stand on the rock.
Han E-bi collapses on the floor at that moment.
‘Good job. It’s me. As expected, I’m amazing… panting.’
Han Ibi took a moment to catch her breath and took out Yamyeongju from her arms.
He used it to illuminate the inside of the cave.
There was a narrow path to the left at the end of the corner of the cave.
Han Ibi said with a sigh of relief.
‘As expected, there is no law for dying!’
He slowly stood up, patting his cheeks.
He looked like a drowned rat, and water was dripping like crazy all over his body.
‘Let’s go further.’
Han Ibi began to walk slowly, lighting the path with her night light.
One thing was certain.
Even though it was inside a cave, the view was amazing.
‘Does this mean that everything that is said about Wudang Mountain and Wudang Mountain is not just a lie?’
Han Ibi continued walking in and looked around.
This feeling is difficult to express in words.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Anyway, the further you go inside, the more it feels like you’re being touched by someone.’
And before even a moment passed, I found out.
Traces of artificial human touch on the walls came into view.
Like the training center just before, there was a place where night pearls were studded with beads.
Han Ibi was delighted.
“ah! You came to the right place. Of course, you have to open the lid to find out.’
Han Ibi was satisfied and walked further inside.
Of course, without letting down our guard.
It was then.
“wow!”
Han Ibi let out an exclamation without realizing it.
Incredibly spacious space.
So, this was a kind of plaza inside the cave.
Moreover, because the night lights were installed intensively here, the brightness was as bright as broad daylight.
‘What on earth are we doing here?’
At that time, Han Ibi caught the eye of a signboard hanging in the air.
– Ildojeongjin (一道精進)
was written with a brush on a wooden board, and the handwriting was magnificent and neat.
It was a great plaque, except that it looked very old.
Han Ibi looked away again.
There were wooden swords, long swords, spears, etc. lying around.
And the floor.
Han Ibi’s pupils dilated for a moment as she looked at the stone floor.
Because there were footprints all over the floor.
It was amazing to leave footprints on this hard stone floor, but what was even more surprising was the fact that there were endless footprints.
But that
was nothing compared to the shock I felt when I realized that the footprints were all different sizes.
This means that countless people trained here.
They are experts at a level so great that they leave footprints on the stone floor…
Han Ibi thought.
‘aha. i get it. This place is like… an abandoned training center. ‘The regular materials of the martial arts and Taoist schools are the face wall and the closed pipe, so it is wheat.’
He stood for a moment to collect himself.
‘It’s a closed training center… of course there must be a way out. ‘You’d better look for it quickly.’
Han Ibi looked around, looking for an exit.
At that time, Han Ibi discovered that there was something like a door.
It was clear that it was made by digging into a stone cave.
‘No, that’s great sincerity! Did they even make a room inside the tunnel?’
Then I thought again.
‘but. Even people who have to practice closing their eyes need to sleep.’
Han Ibi grabbed the door handle and opened it with strength.
In an instant, his expression changed.
A mixture of suspicion and astonishment.
Surprisingly, there were people there.
And a completely naked boy.
I must have been around twelve or thirteen.
The child was unconscious, either unconscious or sleeping.
And at the same time, a terrible stench wafts out.
Han Ibi almost felt nauseous.
Han Yi-bi, who watched the scene with a frown, soon understood the reason.
There was a cesspit under the bed.
So, the bed was dug out and the big things were done while lying down like this.
‘What a terrible thing to do to a child!’
But the ‘evil act’ did not end there.
The child’s body was indescribably dry and twisted, and surprisingly, all of his limbs were tied to the bedposts.
At that moment, something caught Han Ibi’s eyes.
hair.
The child’s hair was pure white, like that of an old man.
Han Ibi thought.
‘what? Are you an albino patient? The skin color seems to be fine….’
At that time, a drop of water fell on the child’s lips.
Han Ibi was surprised and looked at the ceiling to see a wet cloth hanging there.
Water droplets were falling from the end.
So, just enough moisture to keep you from dying!
Han Ibi couldn’t help but be angry at the recent terrible scene.
Byeokgokdan placed in a mess near the child’s mouth.
That child is struggling to survive by eating that Byeokgokdan.
Han Ibi thought.
‘No, the shaman faction, which is the representative of a prestigious political faction, is committing such an outrageous act!’
Then again, a drop of water fell onto the child’s lips.
A child who opens his eyes at the same time.
The boy parted his lips.
“It’s been a while. “I was wondering why you haven’t been here for so long.”
The child slightly raised his head.
So, I made eye contact with Han Ibi, who had an evil expression on her face.
A subtle change occurred in the child’s expression.
“huh? Who the hell are you.”
Han Ibi had a strange thought.
An old-fashioned tone that makes it hard to believe that it came from the mouth of a child.
‘Could it be that I went crazy after being locked up for too long?’
The child raised his voice.
“who are you?”
Han Ibi said calmly.
“Hey. I will save you. wait a moment.”
“what?”
At that moment, Han Ibi took out Bido from her arms and cut the rope that the boy was tied to.
Then the child said.
“Are you… are you the one sent by Tak Family?”
Takga?
Ebi Han said.
“If you are talking about Tak Buyong, you could say that you are being chased by him.”
At that time, the child said with a mocking expression.
“You are acting so raw. Do you think I will be fooled?”
