Episode 373 You don’t need to know that.
While holding the dumplings, my eldest brother and I walked slowly while looking at Baek Eung-ji.
“Eldest brother, let’s walk today.”
“why? “It will take a long time.”
“But we’ll arrive before the sun sets.”
I captured the scenes of everyday life as uneventful as possible. When I thought about spending the day by making choices and focusing, I felt that the right answer was to do nothing today.
Actually, I am used to this kind of daily life.
The eldest brother is not like that.
Today is a day when my eldest brother said many things to me for the first time in a while. There was no need to feel the hardships of life by doing meditation again as soon as you ate.
I deliberately walked back with my eldest brother slowly.
Even after leaving Baek-eung-ji, I did not increase my walking speed. My eldest brother was naturally a quiet person, so there was no need for me to make a fuss.
The eldest brother usually walks with his back to me.
I walked while holding a dumpling in my hand. After a while, the eldest brother opened his mouth, as if he had a question.
“It looks like the Murim Alliance and the Jecheon Alliance will invest somehow, but do you think the bastards will also participate?”
“I don’t know. Second, I don’t make mistakes with my words, so I can explain things properly, but I’m not very persuasive. “You never know.”
“So, I see you didn’t contact the government.”
I nodded.
“You can’t extort money from beggars.”
“Then did you intentionally exclude Shingae from this fight?”
“Last time I saw you, you were the oldest among the three. And the beggar senior’s tendency was to think nothing of Dongguijindo. It’s better to exclude it as much as possible. “After we’re pushed back, it’s not bad to see Senior Beggar counterattacking with powerful leaders on his left and right.”
My eldest brother stopped walking and looked at me.
“Third.”
“huh?”
The eldest brother looked at me blankly and said.
“Do you have no intention of running away?”
“Why are you running away? We won’t be pushed back unless the cult leader appears. And where do you go now? Someone like Usa might appear again. To be honest, it’s not bad if no one comes to help. That’s actually the best. First, we have to fight. “I have to be polite to the people my eldest brother and I killed.”
The eldest brother smiled calmly.
“right. “It’s not polite to the people we killed.”
We walked down the road again.
I said while looking at the wild flowers blooming next to the road.
“Most of the guys who were weaker than me came and attacked me and died. Of course, ghosts and some experts were not like that. “Anyway, we’ll have to deal with that shit too.”
I made eye contact with my eldest brother and then smiled without any meaning.
After walking for a while, we
looked at Haomun’s main base, which had not even started expansion work yet. The guesthouse looked like an abandoned shrine, with no customers and no one in sight.
Anyway, I planned to wait here for the enemy and also wait for our allies.
…On his way back from the Murim League, Saekma sat alone in his guesthouse and ordered food. Next to the table stood a flag rolled up in cloth and being carried. He was personally moving the flag to Haomun.
…After receiving a promise from Yunxiangmunju to invest in Haomun, the demonic horse borrowed a horse and was running furiously. Of course, the destination was Cheonak Mountain Lodge. This is because, while talking to Unhyangmunju, he realized that this kind of story could not be told by a scholar or by having someone else tell it. It was only right to go to the person as a messenger and ask politely.
The devil spurred his horse.
…There was a large map showing the surroundings of the Murim Alliance on Lim So-baek’s desk. I placed a flag made of carved wood under Baekungji and then looked at Gongsunyue. Gongsun Yue tilted his head and then asked.
“Will the Jecheon Alliance really participate?”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
…My eldest brother and I personally broke down and dismantled the old guest house, then moved the messy remains into the pit that we had made into a sun and moon spring and buried them. Because it was not possible to just practice, we prepared a place where the Jaha Gaekjan could be built when the sun rose. The first thing that arrived with the colored horse was to plant the Murim Alliance flag in the center and then start again from scratch.
I am well aware of the fact that I start from nothing and that what I start with can fail again.
But this is the original Haomun.
…Master Gwangmyeong, who took possession of Simwongok, was eating alone in the main hall, and the only people serving him were women. While I was enjoying a sumptuous feast worthy of the king of a nation, I looked at the closed main hall door. Someone knocked on the main hall door, appeared with a sigh, and looked at Gwangmyeong Woosa.
He was the second son of Ma Gyoju.
As soon as Master Gwangmyeong saw his second son, he smiled.
“…Did you find it?”
The second son answered.
“I haven’t found it yet.”
Master Gwangmyeong said while tearing off a large leg bone with his hands.
“I couldn’t find it, so why did you have the shame to show up?”
“….”
Usa Gwangmyeong said while looking around at the monks.
“Isn’t there at least one of you who is your second son’s lover or half-sister? “What do you think, that a guy like that is the second son of the Demon Cultist?”
Even though it was a normal tone, the attendants were astonished and fell down as a group.
“Please save me. “Master.”
Gwangmyeong Woosa smiled while eating.
“Why are you doing this during meal time? This Confucius.”
“Please speak.”
“There is no way Grand Duke Yang has returned to school. They are very cautious and watch out for the whims of their religious leader. I wouldn’t have entered the tiger’s den on my own. “He is clearly hiding in a safe house.”
“I searched every safe place I knew.”
“It seems there is a safe house that you don’t know about. Or, you could gather some experts and make a plan to recapture Profound Valley. Of course, if that happens, all the children here will die. “What do you think?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know? You don’t know anything. I don’t know anything. Poor guy. He must have known what a great person he was as the son of his demonic cult leader. Actually, it’s just a piece of crap. No matter how high you put it, he’s only a half-poon guy with a bit of a high martial arts skill. What can you do? “Did you tell your father?”
“I didn’t inform you.”
“why?”
“Anyway, if he finds out, Simwongok will tell you to kill them all, no matter what happens.”
Gwangmyeongwoosa burst out laughing.
“That is the difference between you and your father. I don’t care whether my second wife has a family or not, or whether I have a second son or not. What are Hao Wenju’s trends?”
“There is a rumor that he is staying under Baek Eung-ji.”
“What are you doing there?”
“They say they are building a guest house.”
“Guest cup?”
“It looks like the guest house we occupied is being rebuilt.”
Master Gwangmyeong looked at his second son.
“Oh yeah? I guess he really came from Jeomsoi. “You’re doing something strange.”
The second son spoke in a cautious tone.
“Usa, it’s not too late. Rather than capturing Grand Duke Yang, how about we unite together and then kill Hao Wenzhou? Then everything will be resolved… If you do that, I don’t mind using all of Shen Wongok’s assets. As you know, there is quite a bit of wealth accumulated here.”
Gwangmyeongwoosa smiled and answered.
“Let’s do it this way. From now on, if you call me Usa even once, I will kill you instead.”
The second son looked at the brothers and sisters lying face down.
Since Gwangmyeongwusa had taken all the women of Simwongok hostage, there was no point in running away. Moreover, he sent me on various errands as he pleased, but each time he did so, there was always a set return period. If that time is delayed, the fetus dies again.
The second son looked at Gwangmyeong Usa in a state of mental and physical exhaustion.
“Just kill me.”
Gwangmyeong Woosa, who was eating, hit the table with his hand once and then pointed.
“You are not worth killing. You piece of trash. The son of the Demon Cultist can’t do anything right. I will give you fourteen days. Please find out in detail what Hao Wen-ju was thinking about rebuilding the guest house under Baek Eung-ji. And spend money to find the safe house where Grand Duke Yang is hiding. Starting from the morning of the fifteenth day, I will reduce the number of family members here one by one. “Go away.”
When the second son turned around, Master Gwangmyeong said.
“Is that the courtesy of someone who has received orders? I have to answer and leave. “Did your father teach you that at school?”
After seeing Gwangmyeong Usa, the second son bowed his head slightly.
“I understand.”
“Do you understand?”
“All right.”
“All right?”
The second son looked like he was going out of his mind and then answered back to Gwangmyeong Woosa.
“All right. “Master.”
“Go away you idiot.”
When the second son disappeared, Master Gwangmyeong said to his disciples.
“Get up.”
“yes.”
“There is no need to be scared. “If my second son behaves properly, I won’t lay a hand on you.”
“thank you. “Master.”
“After eating, let’s go swimming in the valley today. “We will all go together, so fill your stomachs and get ready.”
“yes.”
Only then did the civil servants leave the main hall at a brisk pace. Gwangmyeong Usa called it again.
“Guys.”
“Yes, leader.”
“If there is anyone among you who knows where Grand Duke Yang is safe, I plan to reward him greatly. What is the big prize? I give you freedom. Freedom to leave Deep Wong Valley. Even those who can’t think of anything, think deeply about it. “This matter will only end when Grand Duke Yang dies.”
“Yes, leader.”
Gwangmyeong Woosa waved his hand as if shooing away an annoying fly.
… “Master, I request that the Great Lord of Geumho come see you.”
“Come in.”
The Great Lord of Geumho, who climbed the stairs and entered Gyojujeon, knelt at a distance.
“What’s going on?”
As soon as the Great Lord of Geumho saw the head of the Myeongcheonwi family standing next to the religious leader, he gently bit his molars. Because I felt like I was kneeling for no reason.
The report from Kumho University continued.
“The sect leader recognized that Gwangmyeong Usa, the Grand Duke, and the two Grand Dukes failed and were scattered. It is said that Gwangmyeong Usa later disappeared after exterminating the clans of the Heukdo region without any reason. There are many witnesses. “It seems like the troops the three of you were leading are all dead.”
The sect leader sat down at the Taesa Temple at an angle and answered.
“I get it. It looks like Usa has become independent. “Contact the families belonging to the outer party and tell them to nominate a candidate for Usa.”
“yes.”
“Once a representative from the inner party is selected, I will decide on a successor in a life-or-death decision. Before that, you should decide among yourselves who will be the representative of the outside party.”
“All right.”
“Any other reports?”
“The apostate Sword Demon and the target of extermination, Hao Wen Zhou, are not moving under Bai Yingzhi. “The number of construction workers is increasing, and it looks like they are building a building.”
“What kind of building is it?”
“It probably looks like a guesthouse.”
“Guest cup?”
“Yes, and there is a flag on one side of where the construction is taking place. In order, the words ‘Maeng Jecheon Black Cat Nammyeong Unhyang’ are written.”
“What does that mean?”
“It looks like the flag of a force participating in the construction of guesthouses.”
“Aren’t they the forces that join Hao Wen?”
“Oh, I guess it means the same thing.”
“I get it. “If there is no other report, please leave.”
“yes.”
When the Great Lord Geumho stood up, he introduced the above priest as if the religious leader had forgotten.
“Ah, you two are spherical, right? “Say hello.”
The above Master said briefly while looking at the King of Geumho.
“Long time no see, Geumho Daeju.”
The Great Lord of Geumho answered with a slightly surprised expression.
“I see you above. “Belated congratulations.”
“Please take care of me too.”
“yes.”
The sect leader and the chief priest watched in silence as the Great Lord Geumho retreated. As the religious leader laughed, the chief priest asked:
“Why are you smiling?”
“It’s very obvious that the King of Geumho hates you.”
“That’s right. “Did you anticipate Usa’s departure?”
The cult leader shook his head.
“I didn’t expect it. “The Sword Demon also left, so it’s not that strange.”
“Why did you suddenly leave?”
“It looks like you were teased by Hao Wenju.”
“Was it only for that reason that they left? “I don’t understand.”
The religious leader looked at the left monk above.
“Have you been ridiculed since you became an adult?”
“I never received it.”
“It would be the same for Usa. It seems like the guy who was so pitiful when the Four Heavenly Kings failed changed his mind when he himself failed. When perfectionists experience failure, they often become assholes. “My second son and Grand Duke Yang are in danger, and something could happen to Shenwengok as well, so Master Zuo should send someone to find out in detail.”
“All right.”
“Do you have any other questions?”
The Master above thought for a moment and then asked in a cautious tone.
“Ah, what was the object the Archduke was wearing at his side the other day?”
The religious leader said while looking at the upper priest with his eyes.
“You don’t need to know that.”
“yes.”
The Wei Zuo Master bowed his head and then retreated from the teaching hall. The Jiao Master was staring at the Wei Zuo Master’s retreating back.
