Episode 2: Yeonmok Sword (2)
‘What the hell is this guy…..’
Not only was it hard for her to breathe but it also sent shivers down my spine.
The look in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes as she was smiling so hard that her mouth opened was strangely creepy.
Now I think I understand why Gam Howie the executioner said that.
[This means that he is not an easy guy to manipulate.]
I thought it was just something they said.
But when I actually experienced it it was noticeably different from ordinary people.
Even though he had not learned any martial arts this enormous power and this sinister intimidation in his eyes were crushing his heart like a lump of mushy meat.
-Aaaah!
“Off.”
The force that tightens my throat becomes stronger.
I survived with my strength but it was difficult any longer.
Seeing my eyeballs getting hot I felt like I was about to lose consciousness.
It was that moment.
-Sigh!
The hand holding his neck loosened.
“Cluck cluck!”
My breathing was blocked and I started coughing as if I had been caught.
In the meantime I became curious.
‘Why?’
Mok Gyeong-un who was so happy that his mouth was touching smiled.
And then he said it regretfully.
“I almost killed him.”
“Cluck cluck…what?”
“If we kill them like this what we’ve done to cultivate trees will be meaningless right?”
Go Chan’s eyes wavered at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
He feels like something is playing with him.
What the hell is this guy?
Gochan whose anger was soaring opened his mouth his lips quivering.
“…Did you do this because you were confident that you would get behind it?”
“Look after you?”
“If there is no antidote you will die. “And it’s very painful.”
Gochan mentioned the poison that Mokgyeongun had taken.
I thought maybe this fake guy knew that too and stopped his hand midway.
But it was already too late.
He saw this guy’s sly side too.
As the death penalty said this guy was absolutely uncontrollable.
I don’t know what will happen to him after five days but if he changes his line he might as well be killed one way or another.
‘If you leave it alone you will definitely get stabbed in the back.’
But right now this guy was the one holding the sword so he had to make him realize his situation.
Gochan spoke in a low voice.
“If Gam Howie finds out he won’t leave you alone.”
“Maybe so?”
“….But let’s just say this incident happened impulsively.”
“What does that mean?”
“I’m telling you to go back to your room right now because I’m going to treat it as punishment because you’re frustrated with being locked up.”
“Do you want me to go into the room?”
“okay. “If you go in safely on all fours I’ll pretend that what just happened didn’t happen.”
At those words Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“If that were the case I wouldn’t have bothered to come out.”
Gochan frowned.
Is this kid really not understanding the situation?
Why is this guy who took his own life as a lien by mortgaging himself being so self-indulgent?
“If the guard finds out…..”
“yes yes. “I won’t just let it go.”
“But now you’re holding on here….”
“If you just keep your mouth shut nothing will happen. “What?”
“what?”
Go Chan was dumbfounded by Mo Gyeong-un’s sly words.
Like my senior said it seems like I really can’t control it.
Gochan said trying to suppress his anger.
“I would have said that if you didn’t take the neutralizer or antidote during the ceremony your life would be over but you couldn’t come to your senses…”
It was before he finished speaking.
“Padu angelica root boksucho banha…”
‘!?’
Gochan’s expression hardened instantly as he heard the herbs or rather poisonous plants coming out of Mokgyeongun’s mouth.
They were all plants that fell into dogma.
“Jarigong shaman mushroom fennel vinegar. Is it like this?”
‘…That doesn’t make sense.’
Go Chan was dumbfounded.
It was probably wrong but it was accurate.
I guessed all the toxic ingredients that go into dogdan.
The reason he was so shocked wasn’t simply because he matched the ingredients.
Dokdan is not something that can be guessed just by tasting it because these ingredients are mixed boiled and dried to make the pill.
“What the hell are you?”
Is this even possible for Jo Ak-gyeong the Emperor of Mandarin or Wen Noh the Yak-seon?
‘Didn’t you say he was an ordinary death row inmate?’
I was almost curious as to what this guy’s true identity was.
While I was surprised Mok Kyung-un said.
“Ever since I was young I’ve been eating everything from medicinal herbs to poisonous plants. “I tried it boiled and dried.”
“what? “Eating poisonous plants?”
“I said that an herbalist should be able to know its efficacy.”
‘….but that’s not necessarily the reason.’
I knew there were other reasons but it didn’t matter now.
In any case Mok Gyeong-un knew how to distinguish medicinal herbs sensitively.
No he remembered anything he had personally tasted or smelled at all.
It was enough to make even his grandfather hesitate.
“A herbalist?”
“Oh you didn’t know? “I used to live by digging up medicinal herbs.”
“Nonsense! How can a mere herbalist guess the ingredients of a poison just by tasting it?”
It was something that could not have happened.
“Seeing how embarrassed you are I guess you’re right.”
Mok Gyeong-un approached him as he looked embarrassed.
As the distance suddenly narrowed Gochan unknowingly took his steps back.
Gochan spoke urgently.
“Even if you knew that what do you think you could do? “It is more difficult to create an antidote than dogmatism.”
If the situation arises I gathered my strength in Yongcheonhyeol to expand my strength.
This guy is extremely anxious.
He didn’t know what was going to happen so he had to be prepared.
He said ‘Even though he is stronger than an ordinary person he has not learned martial arts. Then if he unfolds the Gyeongshin Law he will never be able to catch up.’
He believed that it was enough as long as he didn’t stick to it head on.
It was that moment.
-Ujijik!
The moment Mok Gyeong-un took his step the wooden board on the floor caved.
It was incredible leg strength.
‘this!’
In an instant Mok Gyeong-un rushed in front of him just like a tiger charging at him.
I threw myself backwards but it was no use.
The speed of the neck tillage was too fast for him to gain distance.
-Pot!
Mo Kyung-un’s hand reached forward.
Naturally he thought it was going to target his neck or head so he crossed his arms to defend himself.
But that wasn’t it.
-Papa papapak!
“Ugh!”
Mo Kyung-un’s fingers drew blood into his chest.
Gochan’s eyes widened.
Clearly this guy knew that he didn’t know how to do martial arts at all.
In fact he had no traces of learning internal energy so he thought it was like that but the parts he had just drawn blood were demon blood that made his body stiff and evil blood that prevented him from speaking.
‘Surely it was a lie?’
He drew blood accurately.
As long as your blood pressure is high you won’t be able to move or speak.
But even though his chest was pounding and his body felt creaky he moved.
“What is this….”
Mok Gyeong-un tilted his head and muttered something incomprehensible.
“Wasn’t it like this?”
“what?”
“I tried following what Gam Howie did but it didn’t work either. “It seems like this prevented him from moving his body or speaking.”
‘!?’
Mok Gyeong-un speaks casually.
Gochan was beyond absurd at his words and was shocked.
If this is true doesn’t it mean that he did exactly what happened to him?
‘You just copied what you saw?’
If he didn’t know anything he would have thought he had learned.
He may have thought that he had practiced it dozens of times.
This was because the blood was drawn almost accurately.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
If there had been inner strength the acupoint would have been captured.
It ended up with my body becoming stiff for a moment because I just stabbed it with force.
It was a moment when I was shocked and dumbfounded.
-Whoosh!
“Keck!”
While he was off guard Mo Kyung-un grabbed his neck.
Since he was standing up I tried to kick him in the testicles.
-Wow!
His neck was slightly twisted.
If you apply a little more force here it will break.
As his life was in danger Gochan could not move even an inch.
“…Stop that. “I don’t want to receive the antidote from you…”
“Ah about that. “It’s still a secret from Howie Gam but… there’s really no need for it.”
“what?”
What on earth are you talking about?
You don’t need an antidote?
I don’t know what to say but Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said.
“I ate a lot of poisonous plants since I was young so I developed a tolerance to them.”
“My tolerance?”
“I feel sick to my stomach when I eat it but the clumsy mixture that Gam Howie gave me doesn’t help.”
‘Clumsy combination?’
Gochan was shocked.
Are you saying that the dogma still used in meetings is clumsy?
This was a dogma so toxic that even a top-notch expert could not easily decipher it even if he purified it by eating fortune-telling for 15 days.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
If someone else had said it it would have been dismissed as nonsense.
But strangely enough it was difficult to deny what he said.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un did something strange.
-Click!
Didn’t he suddenly bite his index finger?
I don’t know why but he suddenly bites me and brings his bleeding finger to his mouth.
“What are you doing now?”
I couldn’t refuse.
Mo Kyung-un’s fingers dug into his mouth.
Drops of blood wetted his tongue and entered his throat.
He was anxious and tried not to swallow but there was nothing he could do as the pain gripped his throat.
But soon after swallowing his blood
“Oops!”
His heart felt hot.
A searing pain suddenly invaded his body.
Even though Mok Kyung-un let go of his hand the pain was so strong that it felt as if his five organs and six parts were being twisted.
“Off!”
‘Dodog?’
No matter how I thought about it this was poison.
Otherwise there was no way it could have caused this pain.
Gochan tried to hurriedly eat breakfast but Mokgyeongun kicked his body as he tried to sit upright.
“Ugh!”
Thanks to this I rolled around on the floor.
Although I was in pain Mok Gyeong-un bent his knees and said.
“There are some things my grandfather told me not to do. One of them is this. “I developed a tolerance to it because I ate a lot of poisonous plants but they also said that my blood was toxic.”
“what?”
“My dog happened to lick my blood and had a seizure. “It wasn’t like I was coughing up blood or making a fuss.”
“You…you…”
I couldn’t say anything due to the twisting pain.
Either way Mok Kyung-un giggled and looked at himself.
-Sigh!
Although he was suffering Mok Kyung-un grabbed his chin and lifted it up.
And he spoke as if admonishing.
“are you okay. “My grandfather did something and things got better.”
“Off!”
Gochan held his knees.
I couldn’t speak so I looked at him pleadingly.
Then Mok Gyeong-un smiled brightly and said.
“I believe you will help me a lot from now on.”
