Episode 90
“I think I found it.”
“I think I found it?”
Man Huliang looked at a certain Yonghyukmun with a faint smile. Although his gaze was somewhat blurry, I could clearly see him staring at me.
It is not that I have lost my self. But that’s enough. Anyway, this Sword Saint in front of me will not be able to disobey Man Hou Liang’s words.
“I mean Geomhwang.”
“…is he alive?”
“Yes, it is said that there is such a person in Agyang, Honam, an old man who lost one arm. Because he was hiding so secretly, it was quite difficult to find him…”
“Is he really the Sword Emperor? “Why are you so sure?”
Mo Yong-hyeok gave this impression of disbelief.
He suffered serious injuries and was subjected to acid poisoning. Being alive itself made no sense.
“It’s a guess. But shouldn’t a sprout be stepped on before it grows?”
“…It’s just a guess, but are you going to move? “I’m not even sure who it is?”
“Didn’t I tell you? The timing is so exquisite that the possibility is close to being saved. Gunja sword. “They wear masks and give names like that.”
“under! That’s him. Also, he must have come up with a fun game somewhere. “If you do that, does it look like you’ve found your inner strength?”
Man Huliang shook his head.
All investigations have already been completed. Although there was an incident in which a sect near Agyang was destroyed, there was no sign that he had regained his strength. If Geomwang had regained his strength, it wouldn’t have ended like that.
“What do you plan to do?”
“Leave it alone. Even if he were really a
guy, he had already lost his arm and even his inner strength. “For a warrior, he’s as good as dead, isn’t he?”
Mo Yonghyukmun snorted and looked away.
Still, he is a close friend who has been with me since childhood. It wouldn’t be strange to say that he was lucky just to survive the first attack without being killed.
Even if he returned to the Namgung family, he would fall into despair, and if he had not been able to decipher the Sangong poison, he would only have about a year left to live at most. There is no need to pursue him and end his life.
However, Man Huliang had different thoughts. He said with a grin.
“Think about it carefully. The opponent is none other than Geomhwang. What would you do if you were lucky enough to detoxify the acid poison?”
“That can’t be possible. That is….”
“It is a story with the premise that it is just one thing. Many people from the political faction will once again look at and respect the Emperor, and those who were on our side will also leave. Such is the name of Geomhwang. If that happens again, of course you have to come down from that position, right?
Although he did not speak, Mo Yonghyeokmun was easily recognized.
He flinched for a moment and then trembled.
Do I have to lose to that guy again?
In an instant, many thoughts swirled through my mind. What further ignited the fire was Man Hu-ryang’s words, which approached slightly and muttered in his ear.
“Are you ready to have everything taken away from you again
?”
Mo Yonghyeok’s eyes changed. He was shaking slightly and caught his breath a few times. Then, at some point, he seemed to have calmed down and opened his mouth.
“Are there any children to send?”
“Even if you don’t do that, I’ve selected a few.”
Man Huliang laughed again.
All preparations have already been completed.
They even sent their children to the vicinity of Agyang, so only Mo Yonghyeok’s family remains. Of course, from Mo Yonghyeokmun’s point of view, he would not reject Manhouryang’s extremely sweet offer.
“Then whatever you want.”
Everything is put together by Man Hu-ryang. However, it is Moyong Hyukmun that gives sanction.
As a result, no matter what situation happens, Manfu Liang can take his foot off the hook. Mo Yong-hyuk will take all responsibility.
Man Houliang turned his back and smiled invisibly.
Jang Sam-tae and Kwon Moo-jin quietly watched Namgung-cheon practicing fortune telling in the training hall. Since I had never seen anything like that before, I wondered if the acid poison had truly been detoxified.
“There is nothing our Lord Jang can’t do. “Cure the world’s acid poison…”
“I don’t even know if it’s possible since I got ginseng.”
“Hwa-sam… Hwa-sam…”
Jang Sam-tae thought quietly.
He stared intently at Namgung Cheon, who was sitting cross-legged, and immediately frowned.
Whether or not the acid poison is detoxified, ginseng is given to an old man who is unlikely to live long.
‘You’d rather give it to me. It’s such a waste.’ Wasn’t that enough to become a world expert?
With that thought in mind, I turned my head again.
I saw Dansomi sitting on the veranda over there, chewing on metallurgy sugar.
‘Shall we try to find the spirit plant together?’ Taesam Jang was seriously worried.
I felt like I could become stronger with just that.
“Human greed is endless, and desire always leads to anger.”
At that moment, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
The one word I heard as it penetrated my ear was harsh. It felt as if a blade had penetrated my entire body. And soon it constricted him to the point where he couldn’t even breathe properly.
“Kukkkeok!”
Jang Sam-tae collapsed on the spot.
A tremendous amount of pressure came upon me. If I fall like this, I don’t think I’ll ever get up again.
“Sin… cackling! “I’m… sorry… I’m so sorry!”
Jang Sam-tae grabbed his neck and chuckled.
He was sitting on the floor, sweating all over his body, and his pupils were shaking wildly as if they were about to explode.
I was breathing hard, but my mind still couldn’t calm down.
Even Kwon Moo-jin, who was next to him, had his hands sweating.
“Do you have anything to apologize for?”
“Huh… Hah… Oh no… no….” When
Dan Woo-hyeon stood in front of Jang Sam-tae, Jang Sam-tae couldn’t bear to look at his face and put his head on the ground.
I myself had been thinking that I had become lax recently. Thinking of Dan Woo-hyeon as an ally, I felt at ease.
But it was never forgotten. The person in front of you is a descendant of the God of War, a person who has reached a level that surpasses humans, and is recognized by even the Emperor of the World.
It was only yesterday that he killed so many people in front of his eyes and always reigned in fear, but as time passed, he became somewhat more comfortable, and Jang Sam-tae even had time to think about useless things.
As a result, Jang Sam-tae felt death. And then I shut my mouth.
All that’s left is to wait for Dan Woo-hyeon’s forgiveness.
“Not everyone who has internal strength becomes strong. “If you don’t even understand that and just hope for luck, you can’t achieve enlightenment.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Dan Woo-hyeon said nothing more.
I knew better than anyone else what Jang Sam-tae was thinking when he looked at Dan So-mi, but that was also a human desire. Moreover, in reality, no damage was caused due to that greed.
Moreover, Jang Sam-tae is a man who can be useful in many ways.
I didn’t want to shed blood for no reason.
“Hehe, I thought the Grim Reaper had come to visit.”
At that time, Namgung-cheon slowly opened his eyes and muttered. My forehead was full of cold sweat
.
He also felt the power of Danwoohyeon while performing fortune telling. Even though it wasn’t directed at Namgungcheon, the indirect feeling was enough to make me lose my energy for a moment. I might have fallen into a coin trap.
“Did you find your inner strength?”
“It’s just enough to do some work. We’ll have to put in a little more effort in the future. “Whether it will take years or decades…”
Nangong Cheon smiled bitterly.
Finding a job to do was also largely influenced by hwasam. If it weren’t for that, it would have ended up just deciphering the mountain’s empty reading. But just by working, I felt a surge of strength throughout my body.
The difference between having inner strength and not having it is so big.
“Still, I’m glad. I woke up after only three days. “I thought I’d be lying down for at least 15 days.”
Dan Woohyun chuckled.
At the time of deciphering, Namgung-cheon was screaming near ten o’clock. After being so exhausted and wasting so much energy, it was surprising that he was still standing like this.
“It’s only in name now, but isn’t he still the Emperor? This is easy. “Hehehe.”
Nangong Cheon laughed.
In fact, the detoxification process was painful and unbearable. I almost wanted to die. Still, the reason I gritted my teeth and endured was because I knew that the pain I was experiencing now was nothing compared to the path I had walked to become the Emperor of Swords.
Namgung-cheon briefly recalled the day of detoxification, then looked at Jang Sam-tae sitting down and clicked his tongue.
But I also understand his feelings. If the position had been the opposite, Namgung-cheon might have thought the same thing.
He carefully stretched out his hand and helped Jang Sam-tae up.
“Being greedy is not necessarily a bad thing. Because humans are born that way. But you shouldn’t take advantage of someone else. When you start to deviate from the human way, it becomes endless. “Keep that in mind
.”
“Ugh!”
Jang Sam-tae groaned.
Nangong Cheon’s voice was very soft, and there was a bone in his words. I nodded carefully and took one last breath.
‘I really almost fell.’
This time, my life was truly in danger.
It was none other than Jang Sam-tae, who knew very well that the person who touched Dan So-mi would never be ordinary.
He regained his composure.
“We will never let something like this happen again.”
“Yes, unless you have nine necks.” Jang Sam-tae secretly turned his head while receiving Dan Woo-hyeon’s glare, showing that he was confident he would kill as many times as he could, no matter if he had nine or ten lives.
scary.
I felt like I was going to pee right now. I held it in and nodded.
“Anyway, thank you very much. “If it weren’t for you, this old lady would be….”
“It’s not me. That’s the power of that child. “I was just there.”
Thinking about it again, Dan So-mi’s discovery of Yeongcho is truly surprising and miraculous. It was as if it had been sent from heaven. That’s why I said it was heavenly luck.
However, would it have been possible to detoxify Sanggongdok even if there was only Yeongcho?
no. If it weren’t for Dan Woo-hyeon’s power, it wouldn’t have been possible to decipher it.
‘What kind of mental methods are you learning so that your inner energy is so pure?’
Namgungcheon is still feeling the energy of Danwoohyeon flowing into his body.
Not even the famous Taoist shamans, Shaolin, or Kunlun had such pure energy.
It was as if the entire nature of the world was gathering around him, stirring his entire body and making everything peaceful. That ray of light that I felt in the midst of extreme pain was exactly that.
‘Musin must have been an evil person since he was a martial arts hero, so how could he have such pure aura?’
Namgungcheon was already convinced that Danwoohyeon was a descendant of the god of war. Therefore, I thought that Dan Woo-hyeon’s mind method would be the same as that of the martial god, but I could not sense even a speck of magic energy or fraud in his energy.
Namgung-cheon’s mind grew even more dizzy as he wondered if he had made a mistake due to that pure aura.
