Episode 244 The reason for putting up the flag, “ Silent and
Holy Night, Pungwoonpyoguk,” was to scold those who were arguing, but they forgot that there was a demon sitting on the coach seat.
Most people got scared or avoided the demon as soon as they saw its face, so we had to fight during our trip.
However, he couldn’t do that because he was leading the evildoers for the sake of the peace and well-being of Baekdo and the Murim Alliance powerhouses.
This is because this is not a trip to become a martial artist, but a trip to catch a martial artist. It is a majestic journey to wash away some of the sins of the past and present lives committed by me and the four great evildoers.
What specifically did they commit?
I don’t know either.
In any case, three of the four were martial artists, so they must have committed many specific crimes.
So what crime did Geomma commit? I don’t know that either. Just looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like he was a sinful person, so I was just walking around with him.
In fact, even if you are not guilty, what would be so fun about going out to the front yard of your house on a random day and swinging a wooden sword? Only by being dragged around like this can I look outside, listen to the pathetic pupil’s rumblings, endure the demon’s hard-to-hear song, and analyze my own nonsense.
If the Sword Demon is guilty.
The crime of being in a relationship with me.
Fortunately, Geomma was not the type of person to complain or complain under any circumstances, so he was swept along with us as if nothing existed.
Traveling is an exciting time, but after a fleeting moment, it becomes boring and boring. Strangely enough, we have a tendency to tolerate boredom well, so we tolerated and listened to the demon’s strange and boring song.
So this trip was no different from a kind of self-denial training.
* * *
We set up camp near Juksan Mountain, where we arrived by carriage.
Today, I couldn’t find a place to rest until the sun went down. After feeding the horses first, we gathered firewood, lit a bonfire in front of the carriage, and sat around. We burned time by throwing firewood into the crackling bonfire.
In an instant, a familiar darkness descended around me.
For some reason, we didn’t say anything for a long time, as if we had made a promise, and three people stood guard while the ghost sat cross-legged first and ate his fortune. Next, the color demon started the fortune-telling breakfast, and the ghost demon lay down facing the bonfire and slept first.
I looked at the bonfire without paying attention to what the evildoers were doing, then lay down and watched the stars in the night sky.
The appearance of star clusters was still diverse.
There are scattered and clustered things. There were also clusters of stars that flowed like waves and spun like whirlpools. It seemed as if the stars peering down at the world were imitating us.
As I looked at the countless shining stars, I had relatively peaceful but useless thoughts.
After a while, a wolf howl was heard nearby, and the footsteps of the chasing animal and the animal being chased mixed together.
The demon opened its eyes and spoke in an annoyed tone.
“Is it wild boar hunting again? “Youngest child, go and chase him away.”
As soon as the demon finished speaking, he snored slightly. The demon, who was just about to fall asleep after finishing his fortune-telling breakfast, muttered.
“…It’s fucking annoying even when you’re sleeping.”
I also rolled over on my side and watched the darkness where the animals were chasing and being chased. Several wolves with moonlight shining in their eyes were seen watching the bonfire.
The demon muttered again.
“Are you a wolf? “Something is coming this way.”
He must have fallen asleep and was fully aware of the situation.
The Sword Demon suddenly pulled out the Light Sword and began wiping the blade with a cloth. Then, a gentle melodious sound flowed out, as if playing a musical instrument. The echoing sound of the sword of light that I heard before seemed to be dozens of people screaming as a group, but now it seemed like a female ghost who knew how to sing a lullaby was singing alone.
The demon was looking at the wolf pack and suddenly seemed to have lost his mind, soared into the air and ran towards the wolf pack. As the startled pack of wolves dispersed, the sound of a demon’s laughter was heard in the darkness.
“If I catch it, I will roast it and eat it. “Won’t you get out of there?”
The demon, who had been awakened by a deaf ear, finally woke up and asked me.
“Third, have you ever tried wolf meat?”
“no? “Is it delicious?”
“I don’t know.”
After a while, the horse suddenly brought a large wild boar that had been chased by wolves and spoke to me as I lay there.
“Give me the knife.”
“What knife?”
“I carry that in my arms all the time.”
How did this bastard know?
I took out the flash dagger and threw it at the demon. The color demon moved to one side and dismantled the captured wild boar with a dagger and spoke to the demon demon.
“Second, try finding more firewood. “Stop acting like this.”
“You cheeky bastard.”
The demon gave a short answer and went somewhere to get firewood.
I quietly watched the black horse chopping up a wild boar with the sword horse. After a while, the horse was roasting a large boar’s leg on a bonfire and laughing for no reason.
“Uhhhh.”
“….”
The Demon Demon, who quickly returned, roughly made a brazier out of firewood and stones, and the Saek Demon roughly put the remaining meat on tree branches and placed it on the brazier.
The color demon, who was turning over the boar’s leg and roasting it over the fire, asked the sword demon.
“Master, do you have any salt?”
The Sword Demon took out some beef jerky from his arms and threw it at his disciple. Then, Saekma cut the beef jerky into thin pieces with a flashing dagger and dropped it on top of the grilling meat like sprinkling salt.
The sound of meat being cooked was very peaceful.
After a while, the demon handed the demon a golden brown roasted wild boar leg and said,
“Give it to you, Master.”
The Demon Demon carried a thick piece of leg meat and held it out, and the Sword Demon took a bite.
The color demon asked.
“how is it. “Master?”
The Sword Demon answered in a dry tone.
“It’s worth eating.”
“yes.”
I mourned the wild boar that had been turned into meat.
“Poor little wild boar. “I was trying to avoid the wolf, but I got caught by a shitty wolf.”
After a while, the demon offered me some wild boar meat as well. When I took the meat and tried it, it was edible combined with the salty taste of the beef jerky.
I said this as I saw a horse eating a large hind leg of a wild boar.
“Give me your leg.”
The horse answered as he nibbled at the boar’s hind legs.
“Fuck that. “If you offer grilled meat to a guy who doesn’t do anything, you should be thankful.”
The devil bent his front legs and asked me.
“Are you going to eat this at least?”
I nodded.
“Give it to me.”
The demon spat on the front leg it was grilling and then spoke to me.
“Fuck that.”
“It’s childish. It’s childish. He spits on it again. “I guess you thought I wouldn’t eat it if you spit on it, right?”
The Sword Demon looked at me with an expressionless face as it ate its large hind leg.
There was silence for a moment.
I asked three people.
“It must have been a wild boar with four legs, so why am I the only one eating this? “Did one of your legs get torn off by a wolf?”
“….”
I felt refreshed because the group ignored me.
“It’s amazing. “He’s obviously with three people and he’s talking to himself.”
At this time, the howling of a wolf from quite a distance continued for a long time and then suddenly stopped. We chewed the meat and simultaneously turned our heads to watch the darkness where the wolf’s howl had been forcibly cut off. Although it was faint, I could also hear the sound of the wolf’s head hitting the ground.
A moment later a ventriloquist voice was heard nearby.
“Why are you wandering around Juksan and making noise?”
The three people who had completely ignored my words looked at me at the same time.
“….”
I put my finger to my mouth and listened. The voice, whose location could not be determined due to ventriloquism, continued again.
“No matter how I look at it, the four of you are close to Sima Mao’s affair. What’s going on? Are you just a pedestrian or are you looking for someone? If we’re looking for the same enemy, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to join forces. “Who are you trying to kill?”
This time too, three people looked at me.
I shook my head again this time.
The voice continued again.
“I’m warning you, either leave Juksan quietly or reveal your purpose. If you won’t leave, I’m going to gather my friends and kill you. “I was planning on killing them right away if they were sent by the Murim Alliance, but no matter how I look at them, it doesn’t seem like they are from there, so this is my final suggestion.”
I nodded.
If there is anyone who looks at the four of us and thinks we are masters of the Murim Alliance, that person is crazy. Although the four of us each have different vibes, we have one thing in common: we don’t seem like good guys. If you look at me this way, I’m a bad guy, and if you look at me, I’m a bad guy.
Only then did I answer in an appropriate voice.
“Is Juksan the master bedroom of your house? Why are you telling me to turn off? “It’s so cruel.”
I said something and waited for a reaction, but the surroundings were quiet. After a while, the same voice came out.
“The Ambassador is reporting this. Leave Juksan before sunrise. “He defined you as a group of Sima Maoists who want to take money from the Murim League.”
While I was listening to the story seriously, the horse approached me and stuck out the boar’s last front leg. I forgot to reply for a moment as I was busy eating the wild boar meat. The gravy was amazing and I told the three people.
“Ah, the legs were delicious.”
“I know.”
“It was cooked well. “I can’t believe that a poopy bastard had this talent again.”
Only then did I startle a little and shout into the darkness.
“…what! What did you say? just now…? “Have you gone?”
I asked the demon.
“Did you go to ventriloquism?”
The demon shook his head.
“It’s ventriloquism, how do I know? I don’t know. “Just eat meat.”
“What did you say last time?”
“I don’t know. The pronunciation is bad because it is ventriloquism. “I don’t know because I’m so confused.”
I muttered as I tore off the boar’s leg.
“I’m going to be amazed. This is so delicious that even if two people eat it and one of them memorizes it, they won’t even notice. There’s something like a strong needle. Swish! Sigh! Kitchen! Even though he collapsed next to me, he continued to eat meat. “That’s what it tastes like.”
The devil answered.
“Instead of doing that, let’s just go down to the market and buy a lot of meat, firewood, salt, and other things to eat. Bring plenty of vegetables too. “What do you think, Master?”
The Sword Demon, who was meticulously examining the flesh attached to the boar’s leg bone, answered briefly.
“It’s good.”
The Demon Demon snapped his fingers.
“I’m also bringing alcohol.”
The demon nodded.
“I forgot to drink. Wow, I should grill meat and have a drink here while looking at the stars. “It’s really nice to have a lakeside, but I’ll have to look around tomorrow.”
The demon said to me.
“Third, give me some money.”
Perhaps because they were evil people, they were all financially incompetent. Actually, I tend to understand this because I was financially incompetent in my past life.
“If you ask for it, I’ll give it to you.”
At this time, I heard the voice of the ventriloquist who I thought was gone.
“…Is that your answer?”
I responded by turning my head and keeping my eyes focused on the darkness.
“what? Didn’t you go? “Where on earth is this bastard coming from?”
“….”
I turned towards the darkness and threw a bone with force.
“Eat this and get out. a little!”
The bone fell somewhere, rolled and stopped. I took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.
“…Why did you learn ventriloquism? I guess I had one more fortune-telling breakfast while I was learning ventriloquism. If you’re going to attack, come now. Or fuck off. Are you going to ventriloquize all night long? Bring your friends quickly. They also brought the ambassador. Now I have to eat and sleep, but why do you keep ventriloquizing me all night long? If he was confident in his martial arts skills, he wouldn’t have learned ventriloquism. Didn’t you learn ventriloquism because you weren’t confident in martial arts? Are you a rat? If you are a strong person, train hard like a strong person. Why do you have to learn ventriloquism like a rat and be a parent in the dark? am i wrong? Since you are not good at martial arts, you will learn ventriloquism first and then there will be times when you will find it useful. Did you teach like this? Was that tonight? No. Your master must have taught you ventriloquism. No, some idiot taught his student ventriloquism. In fact, our sect is not a sect that fights with martial arts. It’s a munpa that sees the end with its snout. You must first learn ventriloquism so that the other person cannot determine your location in the dark. Was it like this? Are you a mysterious, rat-like force of darkness? “What is it?”
I continued talking while eating the flesh of the hind leg.
“What does it have to do with you, whether we are Sima Mao Dao or the Murim Alliance? Are you the owners of Juksan? Did you plant a tree? Are you a bandit? Are wild boars private property? First, reveal your identity. They’re weird guys. Are you hiding until the end and listening to me with all your patience? “You damn bastards are not normal.”
The color demon sighed.
“My ears are bleeding.”
I said while looking at the demon.
“Wow, now that I think about it. Didn’t that master learn the art of ventriloquism to make his voice echo throughout Juksan Mountain? Well then, it’s too late to sleep now. If they fall asleep, they wake everyone up with ventriloquism. Wake up, creatures of Juksan Mountain. “A new morning has dawned.”
The demon licked his ears with his fingers.
“Oh, stop it. I feel like my ears are bleeding. I’m sorry. I will apologize on your behalf. I’m sorry I learned ventriloquism. stop. “Just eat some meat.”
As the sword demon, which had killed its hind legs first, lay down on the ground, the color demon asked.
“Master, are you sleeping?”
The Sword Demon answered while lying down at an angle.
“I’m sleeping.”
“yes.”
The Sword Demon spoke to me with his eyes closed.
“Third child, get some sleep too. “I feel dizzy just listening to it.”
I answered while eating meat.
“You have to eat and sleep.”
When I sealed the mouth, the entire bamboo mountain became quiet again. I whispered to the demon.
“Did you go to ventriloquism?”
The demon also answered in a whispering tone.
“I don’t know, you bastard. “I don’t know, but I probably went away coughing up blood.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Suddenly, the sword demon that made a sound turned over. The demon must have been exhausted, so he lay down and closed his eyes.
The demon also suddenly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and muttered.
“I’m in a daze.”
Like this, I stayed alone again at night and spoke to the wicked.
“Sleep…good night.”
Although there were no people to talk to, it was a quiet and holy night.
That’s it then.
