Episode 266 I never thought silence would be so welcome.
“It’s a mess.”
It was called Beautiful Orchid, but it wasn’t a name a child would have. But I couldn’t immediately think of a name to call him instead.
“What a mess.”
Yoran and I sat in front of the gambling hall and watched the gamblers running away and the people who were passing by to watch the fight.
I didn’t open my mouth as much as possible.
Because my condition was not good, there was a possibility that Yoran might kill me unnecessarily in front of him. As I waited for a moment with my mouth closed, a bloody demon and a demon appeared at the entrance at the same time, glaring at the onlookers.
While the demon was rubbing the blood on the floor from his shoes, the demon spoke to the people who came.
“…Get out before I kill everyone. “Did you see it?”
I looked up at the two people from my sitting position.
“Are you hurt?”
The devil answered.
“No way. Nothing happened.”
The demon had no answer.
Two people plopped down next to me and watched the onlookers scattering as they caught their breath. The smell of blood entered my nose, but I couldn’t help it. The demon had only traces of its clothes being torn from being grazed by various attacks, but the demon had suffered internal injuries before fighting here, so it looked a little tired.
The demon turned his head and asked.
“What’s the kid’s name?”
I answered for him.
“It’s called a disturbance.”
Suddenly, the demon stretched out his hand and called out to the woman and child among the onlookers.
“Come this way.”
Yegi, who had run away from Giseonhyang, hesitated and approached. I felt like I had met Prince Won, so I introduced Yoran to my wife and daughter.
“This is a mess. Yoran, say hello to your sister.”
Yoran stood up and spoke to his wife and daughter.
“I am Yoran.”
“My sister calls me Yayulyeon.”
Now I finally found out the names of my wife and daughter. Fortunately, Yayul-yeon was perceptive and sat next to Yoran without asking anything.
In fact, it is not easy for people like us to return with children. I have to feed them and put them to sleep, but there’s no way I could have done that because they are all ugly babies.
I asked Yul-yeon.
“First of all, we plan to return to our hometown together…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Yayul-yeon answered.
“I’ll go too.”
There was no need to talk about anything else at a moment like this.
“I get it. Come with me.”
Originally, it was a normal process to clean up the gambling house and underground auction house, but I gave up because I had a child. This was because more black swordsmen related to the auction house could have flocked there.
I thought that the silent demon was hiding an injury, so the answer in this case was to just run away.

Mo Yong-ui.
Mo Yong-baek, who was drying medicinal herbs in the sunlight with the medical women inside, stood up and looked at us blankly.
“….”
To my eyes, Mo Yongbaek’s expression looked truly complex and subtle. I looked at Mo Yong-baek for a moment with the evil demon Yayul-yeon Yoran and then showed off my injured arm as if showing off.
“It’s not broken.”
Mo Yongbaek nodded.
“Well done.”
The demon and the demon had no serious injuries, but their faces were full of needle-like wounds, and Yayul-yeon and Yoran did not look like children from rich families. When people travel, they tend to look worse than usual.
Mo Yong-baek looked at my arms, which had been tied half-heartedly with a cloth, admired the tattered and torn clothes of the demon demon, and also looked at the demon demon’s face.
Mo Yong-baek, who had been watching closely, finally spoke to me.
“Have you entered the open space?”
“What an amazing idea. “The head of a clan cannot throw away his livelihood and enter the open world.”
When I deliberately answered seriously, Mo Yongbaek nodded.
“sorry. Please come in.”
Mo Yongbaek said to the medical women.
“…Lord Mun, it looks like Mr. Yuk-hap has suffered some internal injuries, and you should give Confucius Meng some clean clothes. “My clothes were so torn.”
“Yes sir.”
“So, you guys, start by looking after Moonju. Su-a prepares Yanghwatang and tells Si-jin Han to stand guard outside. If someone comes, immediately announce it loudly. Since this is Ai and Sojeo’s first visit, I will take a look first. “Get rid of everything you were trying to stop me and go in.”
“All right.”
I let the people in first and then looked at Mo Yongbai.
“How are you? “Suryun.”
Mo Yongbaek answered.
“We are doing it very fiercely.”
“Good. “Let’s go in.”
“yes.”
* * *
The black sorcerer, whom I had not seen in a long time, spoke to me.
“Lie down, Lord Moon.”
As I lay down on the bedding, Black Major drew up a curtain. Baek So-ah then came in with various tools and looked at me.
“Hello, Moonju?”
I answered by nodding.
“I can’t say goodbye. “Can’t you tell just by looking at it?”
Baek So-ah answered with a calm expression that was different from before.
“I see. Let me check Moonju’s arm. Oh my, please come quickly. The cloth got stuck all over because of the blood scabs. “Why did you come so late?”
A sigh came out of my mouth.
“I know yeah.”
After a while, the black major also ripped off the bloody cloth that was stuck to my arm, wet a clean cloth with water, and wiped my entire arm. The atmosphere of the black and white cow I met after a long time had changed drastically.
The Black Major spoke to me as soon as he put the black medicine on the cloth.
“Lord Moon, it stings a bit.”
“ah!”
“Why are you being so harsh when it comes to disinfection?”
“….”
Black and White Soso disinfected the wound and wiped the surrounding area with a dry towel, then looked at the biggest wound.
Baek So-ah spoke to Black Major in a calm tone.
“Do I need stitches?”
“Shall I?”
“No, I will do it. Moonju, I need stitches. Wait.”
I asked two people.
“You mean sewing? “Is it that much?”
“yes.”
I guess this is why people should live good lives. In the past, two people fainted because of me, but after a while, Baek So-ah was inserting and removing needles from my arm. This is the moment when you have no choice but to do anything if you are poisoned. I asked as I watched the bloody needle rise into the air.
“You’re not making it hurt on purpose, are you?”
“I have to stab this much.”
“I’m bleeding a lot?”
“When I prick it with a needle, it bleeds.”
“check.”
After a while, I looked at my tightly stitched arms and praised the black and white small print.
“Your embroidery skills are excellent.”
“I was good at embroidery before I came here. “Lord Moon, do you always go around fighting like this these days?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it?”
Baek So-ah whispered to me.
“Ah, Teacher Mo Yong is also practicing martial arts very hard these days.”
Mo Yongbaek’s voice was heard from somewhere across the street.
“noisy.”
“yes.”
Black Soa warned me.
“Lord Moon, if you overuse your arm, the stitches will tear. Please be careful for now.”
“What if it’s for a while?”
“It will heal in about 30 days.”
“What do I do if it breaks?”
“I have to get stitches again. Oh, and I’m not drinking alcohol until I’m all better.”
“Oh shit. I get it.”
“Please rest. “I’ll give you some soup later.”
I spoke to Black and White Soso.
“Oh and Soso. Please send someone to Jaha’s guest house and call Cha Seong-tae. If I tell you that you have to protect the law, they will just understand. Speak a little loudly. “That’s how it works.”
“All right.”
As I lay still, Mo Yongbaek’s voice continued calmly. Didn’t Lord Moon buy you something delicious? I was confused because they asked questions like, “Did you force me to bring you here?”
‘A crazy person is asking strange questions.’
Anyway, I was told that Yayulyeon and Yoran had no special illness and that they just needed to take some medicine to calm their frightened minds.
Since we had Mo Yong-baek, there wouldn’t be any problems for us. I listened to the voices of Moyongbaek and Gwima talking about internal injuries for a while, and then fell asleep without realizing it. It was a brief, long-awaited sleep since I had spent most of the night with my eyes wide open on the way here.
…I heard Cha Seong-tae’s voice in my sleep and woke up, then fell asleep again. There are times when I feel like I’m falling asleep like I’m submerged in water, and that’s the case right now. Next, I opened my eyes to the unfamiliar sound of a flute.
“…what? “Who plays the flute?”
I kicked the blanket someone had covered me with and then got off the bed. After taking the wooden sword, I pulled back the curtain and went out, making eye contact with the demon demon who came out almost at the same time.
The three of us went outside and looked at Cha Seong-tae and Mo Yong-baek standing side by side.
“Who came?”
Seongtae Cha looked back and answered.
“Lord Moon, are you awake? I can’t see it. “All I can hear is a twang.”
Mo Yongbaek said this.
“The sound travels quite far. “I don’t think we are asked to listen.”
“Right. What about Cha Seong-tae’s training?”
Cha Seong-tae looked at me and answered.
“We are doing it very fiercely. however.”
“But what?”
“When I ask questions or feel frustrated, my fellow monks explain very clearly, which is of great help.”
After chatting, we left the main gate of Moyonguiga, looked around, and sat down on the bench outside.
Seongtae Cha asked me.
“Is your arm okay?”
“It’s okay because I got stitches.”
“yes.”
The gentle sound of the drum stopped and about a dozen strong men approached Moyongui Street from the wide street. They were all well-dressed and tall-looking, so it was hard to tell whether they were friends or enemies.
Judging by their decent clothes and faces, one could almost think that they were masters of Shinnam Six Dragons. Their ages ranged from their twenties to their forties, and their martial arts levels also varied.
I asked the man wearing the most unusual jangsam among the group that came to visit us.
“A flying guest?”
It wasn’t too difficult to recognize him because he was wearing an outfit that I had seen in the martial arts show. But when I actually saw it, it felt different. He wore a sword on his waist that was much longer than a typical long sword, and he did not look like the leader of the group that came with him.
A guest told me.
“nice to meet. Hao Wen Ju.”
“Why did you come all the way here?”
The demon suddenly lay down on the table and cursed at the guest.
“I guess I came here to hunt down the idiot.”
The group of passengers smiled lightly and answered.
“Nice to meet you, Confucius. “You’ve been active here and there recently.”
“Heukhyang is our business partner, so I want to ask why you destroyed it like that. Thanks to this, I wasn’t able to properly receive payment for the items I entrusted. Rat-like gamblers went in and stole a lot of things. How can we compensate for all this damage? “I want to hear Hao Wenjue’s answer first.”
“Hmm, so you are the clients who entrust goods to Heukhyang?”
I was a little confused because it came out so shamelessly.
“Do you mean that you are a mixture of kidnappers, thieves, elixir suppliers, hunters, poison makers, pornographers, and slave traders? What were you thinking when you came to me? Are you that confident that you can survive against me? “Do you think I’m an asshole because I look like an asshole right now?”
The group of passengers giggled and laughed.
The demon was lying down and laughing at those who were laughing.
“You damn bastards are laughing so hard, not knowing that you will soon die.”
The guest answered.
“If Confucius Meng is confident, he will deal with you first. Would you like to have one-on-one time with me?”
The energetic Cha Seong-tae answered instead.
“…Hey, let’s do it with me.”
The guest looked at Cha Seong-tae.
“Who are you?”
I stopped Cha Seong-tae.
“Seongtae.”
“Yes, Lord Moon.”
“I feel reassured because you have the courage to come forward.”
“you’re welcome.”
“But the opponent is a master who has been declared a martial arts official and is a non-guest. “It’s a little too much for you to deal with.”
The guest who heard my explanation laughed and Cha Seong-tae looked at the guest.
“Do not laugh. 개새끼야. Are you proud of your martial arts achievements?”
“….”
Why do Cha Seong-tae’s words make me feel sick to my stomach?
Now that I looked at the composition of those who came, I could see to some extent why these guys were so confident. There were people with similar skills to the non-guests, and there were definitely some experts at handling poison. So, it meant that there was a mix of talented people who could fit in with the martial arts exploits.
The demon has its mouth tightly shut due to internal injuries.
In the meantime, Saekma reassured us.
“…Everyone just watches. “I will kill them all.”
I reached out to my eyelids and wiped away the tears that wouldn’t come out. I never thought I would hear such reassuring words from a sex demon in my lifetime.
The guest nodded and put his hand forward.
“…come out. “I need to see Mong Gongja’s ice ball skills.”
The devil was giggling and laughing while lying down, but suddenly he was startled and jumped up from his bed.
We watched where the demon was looking.
The demon said while bowing his head politely.
“…Master, are you here?”
I saw Geomma and Dongsu Sasuk approaching from the opposite side of the road with their backs turned. The Sword Demon walked over without even looking at the group of passengers and sat down on the table.
I said hello to Sasuk first.
“Have you come bald? Welcome.”
“Yes, Lord Moon.”
The Sword Demon looked at the crowd of people without saying a word to us.
For some reason, the group of passengers suddenly became quiet.
I couldn’t be happier with this sudden heavy silence. I deliberately didn’t say anything until the Sword Demon opened his mouth. After a while, the Sword Demon, who was glaring at the enemies, opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“…The sound of the flute is pretty good. Can you tell me more?”
There was no reply from the group of passengers.
