Episode 530
: Is it extinction?
Why is the taste of seolleongtang so bitter? I’ve been diligently brewing beef bones since last night.
She continued.
“The remaining three also lost half of their power. “I still don’t know why it ended up like this.”
“You came to ask me if I know anything.”
“okay.”
“….”
A blue light appears in Jin Cheonhee’s eyes.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I knew nothing.
rather.
“Is there any reason I should know?”
“Why do you think that? kid.”
“I thought the fact that you came even though there was no need to discuss it as a bookkeeper meant that you had something to do with me.”
Seolgyeon became angry at those words.
‘This guy is quick to notice.’
But it looks like Zhuge Lin didn’t mention anything to his disciple.
Above all, it is only a suspicion that Jegalin is involved, but there is no physical evidence.
In the first place, in order for Kangho to function as a political faction, there must be at least some physical evidence, be it evidence or witnesses.
Seol Jian feels strange seeing those who had scolded Jegalin to leave our family if he has nothing are now disappearing one by one in the middle of bloodshed.
‘But there is no evidence that Zegalin is directly involved.’
It all started with a delivery mistake at Baekrin Uigak.
However, even if a mistake was made, wasn’t it possible to correct it with the power of the blood branch?
If you say something to Jegalin based on that alone, it becomes strange again because you end up having to retract what you said in the past when you killed Hyeollin.
“I was also wondering if you found out something through the National Assembly since you are a member of the National Assembly.”
“I don’t have the energy to worry about that. “I wouldn’t have known if Minister Yoo was by my side.”
Wow, what a good bastard. Good, crazy bastard.
While you are practicing mad jhana here, your Master is performing a bloody sword dance.
These words rose to the top of my throat, but Seolgyeon held them back.
Anyway, there’s nothing good about messing with that bastard’s feelings.
“Anyway, I’m going! “It’s so delicious that it’s worth it!”
“Good for you. “I’ll feed you something different next time.”
‘He’s so kind, so kind.’
With that thought in mind, Seol-gyeon stroked Jin Cheon-hee’s head and then left, herding the beggars away.
On the other hand, after Seolgyeon left, Jin Cheonhee’s eyes still did not know how to return to their original color.
‘There was no development like this in the original?’
Didn’t the blood clan gather its strength until later to confront Yeo Ha-ryun?
Is this also some kind of butterfly effect?
* * *
Same time.
A rat ran through the forest.
And the rabbit jumped over the mouse. The wolf runs out without even thinking about catching a mouse or a rabbit.
The deer runs away.
A forest where even the great tiger called Sangun (山君) finally runs away.
The scarlet fire spread in all directions through the refreshingly dry air.
Burning fire, the night sky turns scarlet and spreads in all directions.
Finally, it races away, burning the bodies of the powerful people.
Caw-caw!
Now the only thing left in this forest are crows, drones, drones, and drones.
Five warriors left the burning forest, looking exhausted.
Everyone was wearing uniforms, and the markings on the uniforms clearly belonged to the Cheongseong faction.
Two were elders and three were middle-aged monks.
said the old man.
“Hurry up. The fire is spreading. “I don’t know who started the fire, but if this continues, you’ll be trapped!”
“yes! “A long writer.”
Was the old man of the Cheongseong faction none other than Jang Mun-in?
How is it that a person about the size of a long-time man has come out of the gate and is wandering through the burning forest?
“I finally got my hands on the elixir, but fire magic is a problem.”
It was like that.
A fight over the blood elixir.
Currently, the final winner is Cheongseongpa.
The old Daoist who gave them orders was Qingqian Jinin, a long-time member of the Qingcheng Sect.
Cheong Geon Jin-in took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“To make matters worse, there is even a military base set up. “Follow the rat.”
“yes? “A rat?”
“okay. The closer a creature is to the ground, the more likely it is to move in the right direction without being deceived by the eyes. “For that, rats are suitable.”
“How on earth did Jang Moon-in do that…”
“That’s amazing. Everyone find the mouse! “We are going in the direction the rats are moving!”
Cheonggeon Jinin also couldn’t remember where he heard this story.
However, this saved his life several times.
-yes. All you have to do is find the mouse. Although they are small creatures, their desire to live surpasses that of any human being, so if you want to escape, you must chase after them. Cheonggeon Jinin.
Ah, I see. It was that kid.
Baekrin Eui-seon from my childhood.
Before the family was destroyed, the child was smarter, more noble, and more knowledgeable than the average child.
From that age onwards, there were many people who hated adults because they made fun of them.
But everyone passed by.
Anyway, this child was prepared to die from the time he was born, and from the age of seven he had to think about what he wanted to do before he died.
The soon-to-be-dead child shared his knowledge with various famous people before he died.
At the time, I thought he was an arrogant brat who pretended to be like other celebrities, but now that I think about it, maybe it was his own expression.
Didn’t he hope that after he died, at least the knowledge would remain and wander among people?
‘Why do I think of that child?’
Shoot,
the wind is blowing. The fire moves with the wind.
Along with the smell of burning wood, there was also the smell of gunpowder and oil.
As expected, someone must have started the fire artificially.
It was also clear that they had calculated that the fire would hit, predicted the direction of the wind, and even planned the attack.
who? why?
And how do you know that the final winner is the Qingcheng faction?
“Hurry!”
However, no one responded to his words.
Where has everyone gone?
Looking around, all he could see was a burnt forest and… a dead rat at his feet.
“Where are you going in such a hurry? Cheonggeon Jinin?” With the sound
of a fan
being opened, long silver hair was seen among the flames.
A large man over eight feet tall.
A person who prefers to wear a palace jacket or a military uniform rather than military uniform.
He came in, strolling through this burnt forest as if he were taking a walk.
“Yes… you! Bloody Gwangsal! no way…?!”
“Hehe, I don’t know why everyone just looks at my face and assumes I’m a beast.”
“How common would it be for someone to walk through the depths of this fire!”
“That makes sense. However, I just walked a long way to appease the rumor that you have obtained the elixir I made. Or is there any evidence that I am a beast?”
-Do you have any evidence? Young Jegal! I asked if there was any evidence that I sent poison to your mother and kidnapped your nanny.
“Or… are there any witnesses? “I wonder if he survived.”
-You heard a voice? Look at this. Young Zhuge has lost his mind and dares to disgrace the Great Qingcheng Sect! How can you insult me like this without any witnesses or evidence! The witness who died yesterday was probably killed by that young Zhuge himself!
The words that Qing Geon Jin-in said to the young Zhuge are calmly recited from the mouth of the old Zhuge decades later.
“Noooooom! “Do you not think I know that you committed a random murder to destroy the Cheongseong faction!?”
“That’s too much. Even if Jang Mun-in and the elders pass away, won’t the Qingcheng Sect remain?”
-The Zhuge family went extinct. What does that mean? Aren’t you the successor to Zhuge Ce? Didn’t the Zhuge family’s child memorize all of the family’s secrets before he was even ten years old? Why should we, the Qingcheng faction, take responsibility for that?
Cheng Geon Jinyin raised his eyes.
The young tiger in front of me had now become an adult tiger and was even smiling.
It was not Cheong Geon Jin-in who did not know how rare it was for the man in front of him to smile.
“Why are you only now repaying your family’s favor in the past?”
“….”
“I know that your father used you, who will soon die, to learn new techniques. “Even though your mother knew this, she only found good medicine for you and did not stop your father.”
“….”
“Because it’s that kind of Sega, it’s that kind of Sega. I thought you were the one who gave me the money. The family was torn apart and you struggled, but still. The reason it stopped at a certain point was probably due to love and hatred for the previous Zhuge family. I thought about it. Is that wrong?”
“….”
Zhugelin just looked on with a faint smile.
“You asked me if what I said was wrong!”
Cheonggeon Jinin’s evil voice resonates in the forest.
However, due to the roar of the trees and wind generated by the fire, that much sound could not escape more than a mile away.
Finally, Zhuge Lin opened his mouth.
“you’re right. My father took advantage of me when I was young. I used my own body for experiments to learn the techniques of Shingong. Since the child was going to die soon anyway, he decided that it would be wise to become fertilizer for the family.”
He told young Zegalin to think about how he would live since it was not possible for him to live long.
At that time, young Jegalin knew what his father and head of the family wanted.
The young child decided to spend his short life serving Sega.
Because I didn’t know about any other paths.
In order to master Zhuge Dynasty’s divine skills, the father experimented with the nine skills one by one on his son who possessed the same type of true energy.
Even if coin damage occurs during transport, life is short anyway.
All the father has to do is avoid the path he died on and interpret Gugyeol again.
Pain wears away childhood innocence and makes us forget hope.
When you finally make the shiny things disappear one by one, the scenery behind is only black and white.
“Then…”
“But. Even so, I should have made that judgment, not you. “Old Cheongseong.”
“…!”
“Also, my mother was helpless, but pathologically obsessed with finding medicine to relieve the pain even a little, and my nanny was just naive. “The other Zhuge brothers felt pain because of my arrogant personality, but they foolishly believed it was because they were in pain.”
There were good people too. That’s why we commemorated them.
I still remember my mother’s warmth.
I understand she had few choices.
Whenever I thought of my father, a big hole opened in my heart and I felt empty.
Originally, it would have been for Sega to be revived by reinterpreting Shin Gong after his death.
Why am I the only one surviving and Sega?
Since then, the child with genius and extraordinary sensitivity has become even more distorted.
Zhuge Lin still doesn’t know the full picture of Zhuge Dynasty’s extinction.
Time passed like a grain of sand, and by the time the boy became a young man, most of the evidence and witnesses had already disappeared.
The days when I ran like a blind man, groping for Eun-won.
Has incense fallen from the Buddhist altar?
Have we run out of scents to burn more?
Was the thing that fell a person? Is it the heart?
Is it longing?
“Didn’t you decide to stop repaying the loan?”
“okay. It was like that. “Old Cheongseong.”
“Then what?”
