Episode 404 Discussing in a volcano.
This is the thought that came to my head.
‘I shouldn’t kill him gracefully.’
I looked at my eldest brother and then opened my mouth.
“Let’s discuss death. “Can’t we hear each other’s opinions before we kill each other?”
The conversation involving money, death, and sword is non-fiction.
The above left master did not say anything, but Haenamsalseong gave his permission.
“Try it.”
“Six thousand common hermits. That’s a lot of money. Given the name Salseong, it doesn’t seem like they are doing it simply for money. Killing a strong enemy should come first. So, you’re saying you’re going to get money for killing someone.”
Haenam Salseong nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Hao Wenju, you understand the essence.”
I pointed to Haenamsalseong Fortress with my finger.
“That’s it. I understand the essence. “But I don’t think you understand the essence of the above story.”
Haenam Salseong looked at the left temple above.
“I fully understand.”
“Probably not.”
“What is it like?”
“Six thousand silver coins is not a lot of money to the above mentioned monk. If you pay in proportion to your wealth, you’ll have to shell out a lot more money. When you die, your wealth is useless. But I didn’t. This is because when the Master above found out about you, he thought that six thousand hermits would be appropriate. If it is unrealistically high, you will become suspicious. Rather, it is lowered. It would be a blessing if you killed me. It doesn’t matter if you fail. The above master threw six thousand silver balls with the intention of previewing my martial arts skills. Then, surprisingly, the price of your head is only 6,000 silver coins. Instead, I’ll raise the stakes.”
“what?”
“I won’t even raise it much. If you kill my eldest brother and me, you will get six thousand silver coins. If you and your subordinates kill the above-mentioned master here, you will receive 10,000 hermits. “I am not as rich as the gentleman above, but I have the same amount of wealth.”
Haenam Salseong looked at the left temple above.
“Moonju is upping the ante. “What do you think?”
I snapped my fingers.
“Salseong for a moment.”
“Say it.”
“We will limit the stakes. Of course, the person above is rich so he can raise the stakes. If that happens, you’ll end up in a bluff competition with me. Negotiations end here. If you ask for more than this, I will kill you all by myself. What you need to worry about is simple. All you have to do is decide whether you are stronger or the person above is stronger. For reference, the above monk has probably never fully revealed his power. “Isn’t that what the eldest brother thinks?”
Before the eldest brother spoke, Haenam Salseong smiled and said.
“What is the purpose of saying that the above left temple is strong in this situation?”
I glared at Haenam Salseong.
“Why? Because the fact that you did not understand the above left master means that you were deceived by the above left master. It’s a pretty big gamble, so make the right decision. This means that it is so difficult for you to understand me that even the Wei Zuo Master who hides his skills well will eventually have to sacrifice you to see my martial arts skills. “Who looks stronger?”
Only then did life appear in Haenam Salseong’s eyes. That’s probably because I’ve heard that the person above is weaker than me.
The eldest brother, who was still, looked at the left monk above.
“The upper left temple.”
“Why but?”
“How long are you going to pretend to be a cat?”
The speaker above was sardonic.
“I was never a cat even for a moment.”
The eldest brother nodded.
“That is the attitude of a merchant. In the end, was it always caution and a mindset to gain the upper hand in negotiations?”
“Think what you like.”
“It was a long time ago. It was reported that Myeongcheonwiga attacked Gwangseongja’s successors in Gonggongsan Mountain for no clear reason, causing many casualties. Since the fight was already over and there was no follow-up report, I left it alone. Afterwards, the Myeongcheonwi heard a report that the family head was indulging in training for a long time and that the family head was even more aggressive in raising money.”
The chieftain asked:
“What do you want to say?”
The eldest brother smiled.
“What I know means that the religious leader also knows. You were a great merchant who filled the church’s treasury, but at the same time, you were a man who caused many accidents and had to be killed someday. The reason you are here is because you received orders from the religious leader. Do you understand?”
The gentleman above laughed as if nothing special had happened.
The eldest brother continued.
“Those who managed to survive in Gongdongsan restored the old martial arts practice and opened the closed doors to accept disciples. This means that the Communal faction, a faction of the White Islands, began because of your family. “I received a report like this, but you will know better what restoration means.”
In short, it seems that this Ming Tianwei family stole the martial arts of Guangseongja, a member of the Taoist family.
Why did a family belonging to the Demonic Cult’s outer faction accept the martial arts of the Taoist clan? On the one hand, it was strange, but if the martial arts skills were excellent, there was no reason not to accept it. This is because magicians are people who try to become stronger at all costs, not people who only want to learn magic.
In any case, I did not exclude Haenam Salseong from the review.
“…Did you hear the sound? The left figure above is a strong enemy. Is it 6,000 nyang for hitting me and my eldest brother? Is it worth 10,000 cats by defeating his strong enemy, Wei Jwasa? “It’s time to decide.”
Haenam Salseong said.
“Moonju. I have never done any business with you. “How can I believe what you say?”
I nodded.
“Someone who has nothing to do with the deaths happening here will have to risk his neck to notarize it. “Wouldn’t that work?”
Haenam Salseong nodded.
“That is correct. If the above chieftain did not keep his promise, he was going to kill his younger brothers. “A person with reliable identity will have to notarize.”
I pointed to Haenamsalseong Fortress with my finger.
“right. Ilmajo went there earlier. The second son of the Wind Cloud Dreamer, who was seriously injured while dealing with Ilmajo, is lying inside. “If I don’t keep my promise, kill him.”
My eldest brother looked at me, but I didn’t bother to make eye contact.
“….”
“I heard he is the Sword Demon’s disciple.”
I nodded.
“So that’s right.”
That’s right.
As Haenam Salseong was worried, the above master said:
“Look. “I was wondering if you were still afraid of our family, wasn’t it?”
Haenam Salseong laughed.
“The left one above. I have no family. There are no disciples, and I killed the master with my own hands. “I just need to take good care of my body. What kind of family would I be afraid of?”
“If we attack the left temple of the new religion, will you be able to survive the cult leader?”
Haenam Salseong answered.
“According to what the Sword Demon said, you seem to have been out of sight for a long time, so it’s nothing for you to worry about.”
The gentleman above bowed his head and looked at me.
“…Is this possible estrangement? I feel like your rumor has actually been scaled down. I have now found out why those who attacked you have failed one after another. “It wasn’t just because of martial arts.”
The above master again became calm, like a great merchant calculating in detail, and looked at Haenamsalseong and me alternately and said,
“Salseong, I also respect your opinion. I will also accept Moonju’s wishes. I didn’t know that people placed this much importance on promises. I will agree to everything, so please understand one thing. “Would you like to hear it?”
I nodded along with Haenam Salseong.
“Say it.”
The chief priest above said:
“It would be better if we didn’t see each other’s martial arts skills. If Salseong wants to attack me, I will fight outside the manor. On the other hand, if Salseong wants to hit Munju, I will stay outside for a while and then come back in. This is my final proposal. Does everyone agree to my proposal?”
The above-mentioned master continued to appease Salseong until the end.
“Salseong, do it like that. If we fight among ourselves anyway, we might be attacked by the Sword Demon and Munju.”
Haenam Salseong, who had now received everyone’s attention, grinned.
“I will do that. Can I choose now? “There are no personal feelings between you two.”
Haenam Salseong slowly looked me up and down and then said something unexpected.
“Somehow, money doesn’t seem to be that important.”
“Do you understand now?”
Haenam Salseong, who did not answer my question, stood up and said:
“Let’s go outside the upper left temple.”
While Haenam Salseong walked to his subordinates and gathered them together and went outside, the above officer was glaring at me the whole time.
“Munju.”
“why?”
“No. “We’ll talk later.”
The gentleman above got up and walked towards the collapsed wall. Only after both sides were gone did I look at my eldest brother.
The eldest brother said.
“You can’t predict what’s going on in the world.”
My eldest brother and I watched the outside of the manor. The voice of Haenam Salseong was heard.
“…How far does Jwasa walk? Do it here. hey.”
Before we knew it, the Haenamsalseong group was no longer in sight, nor was the left temple. Only the sound of small tree branches breaking was heard a few times, and it seemed like the Haenam Salseong party was surrounding the temple above.
Haenam Salseong’s voice was heard again.
“Kill it.”
It wasn’t a very impressive command. Several weapons were pulled out and the sound of the wind being torn apart was heard. While the fighting spirit was mixed several times, the sound of bones breaking and something exploding was heard. Surprisingly, the sound of weapons clashing was not heard, so I knew that the master above was not using weapons.
Something seemed to be spinning around, creating a breeze, as if there were weapons that were hard to see. The sound of something exploding, someone stepping on the ground at an advanced angle.
To my delight, I heard the voice of Haenam Salseong.
“…Even if you die, just cut it in one place and die. “He is an abomination.”
I looked at the horse passing by and then waved the chilmae. Then, while the above Jwasa and Haenam Salseong were fighting, Yukmae arrived.
As I shared Yukmae with my eldest brother, I continued to focus on the sound.
The steps and the sound of fluttering clothes became simpler, but the fight was not over. It was the sound of the poor people dying and the experts remaining to continue the fight.
Strangely enough, the sound of bones breaking was heard several times, but no one screamed.
Even as the large tree fell with a crackling sound, a certain silence lay beneath the battlefield.
Because the outside of the manor was full of life, the fight was not over yet, but the area became quiet for a while. There are times when there is a lull in the middle of a fight, and this seems to be the case now.
Just as I was about to get bored, I heard the voice of the chief priest above.
“…what is it like? “Is it possible to earn six thousand silver coins even now?”
Haenamsalseong’s laughter burst out, but suddenly stopped due to another intention, and soon the sound of a tense confrontation that felt like a bloody battle and the sound of the spirit, sword, and sword and wind mixed together overlapped.
The eldest brother held out an empty glass to me, and I calmly poured the drink like Jeomsoy.
The eldest brother muttered after drinking.
“…Could it be possible to combine the Taoist martial arts and magic arts of the above master and absorb the inner energy of the living star?”
“Is that what you meant by not being able to know what’s going on in the world?”
“We made a promise, so we have no choice but to wait. If he had that level of courage, he would have kept his head down until he could directly deal with the religious leader. “Left-handed is left-handed.”
I nodded.
There are three people I know of alone. Even the matriarch above the eldest brother, Saekma. There is no way that an ordinary man could have held the position of left commander. No matter how fateful it may be, it is destined to be pummeled. Now I could tell how many people were fighting from the sounds I could hear outside.
Now a battle between two and one was taking place.
A sound like something hitting someone’s face erupted, and then a sword flew towards the wall and got stuck.
Then, the tension collided with a snapping sound. For the first time, I thought, “Ugh,” as if I was breaking my shin. A short scream was heard. At that moment, the tension collided again with a popping sound.
Is it a battle of tension between Lee and Il?
I was curious, but I didn’t go out because I had a promise.
Instead, the long, long screams of those who had endured it well without even screaming so far erupted. At first, the tone was mixed with confusion, but the pain must have been so great that it continued with a scream so loud that it echoed throughout the volcano. The screams of the two people suddenly reduced to just one person, and the man who had been screaming alone spoke human words as if he was about to die.
“for a moment…!”
Now, just for a moment?
When you think about it, there are few words among people’s words that are as vain, foolish, and incomprehensible as the words “just for a moment.” The situation itself where you have to say “just a moment” is wrong.
I muttered while drinking.
“That’s impressive, just for a moment.”
The eldest brother also nodded.
“Maybe it was the most redundant thing Salseong said last time he was killing someone? “It’s a life that goes round and round.”
When a very loud scream continued for a long time and then stopped.
The man let out a long breath and spat on the floor, probably because he had inhaled some dust. Or did he bite the other person’s nose?
I exchanged opinions with my eldest brother.
“How does it compare to the speed when your eldest brother handled it?”
The eldest brother tilted his head.
“It seems similar. “How about you?”
“I actually had no intention of killing him right away. If I were to fight, I would have cut off everyone’s right arm first and then chopped it off one more time. “I would have made a decision based on my state of mind and answer at the time.”
The gentleman above walked from the side of the collapsed wall, shaking off the dust from his tattered clothes several times. The expression on his face did not change whether he left or came in.
However, when I checked it closely.
Blood was sporadically splattered on his face, making him look like a messenger who had come through the battlefield.
The master above threw the jangsam back with both hands, then took his original seat and looked at me.
I asked the person above.
“What did you mean to say earlier?”
The gentleman above had a blue glow in one eye. He thought for a moment, then looked at me and answered.
“I forgot.”
The eldest brother picked up a bottle of liquor and held it out to the senior officer above him.
“You too are a very harsh person.”
The Master above answered while holding out a glass of wine.
“Sword Demon. “How much do you know about our family?”
The eldest brother said while pouring a drink.
“I even know that Myeongcheon (明天) is indeed an arrogant and arrogant name. Regardless of whether it was the previous head of the family or you, if you create a divine skill worthy of representing the family, the Ming (明) will be divided into Sun and Moon (日月), and Heaven will become Heavenly Demon. In that case, the name of the martial artist is Ilwolcheonmagong (日月天魔功)?”
The Master above nodded and answered.
“How much does the religious leader know?”
I too was curious about the answer, so I looked at my eldest brother. The eldest brother answered.
“The leader actually knows everything. He just sits there and doesn’t need to say that he knows what he knows.”
The Master above responded with an expression of admiration.
“That’s a wonderful thing.”
We stopped talking for a moment and then took a sip of Yukmaeju.
