Episode 116:
Majang River opened his eyes with a disheveled appearance.
I must have lost consciousness for a moment, but my memory is gone. I looked around with a frown and saw that it was full of dead bodies.
I moved my trembling body and stood up.
Eventually, little by little, I left the bushes and walked towards where Woohyeon had headed.
Did you go to some extent? There were violent marks left around, as if a typhoon had struck.
There was also the body of a person whose head was not visible.
“Wow…
I turned my head, nauseated by that bizarre sight. There was also a trace in the other direction.
I slowly moved towards that place and checked my surroundings. After a while, I could see corpses lying around again.
“There was another one?”
The appearance of the dead is somewhat different from the twenty ghosts. However, there was no doubt that they were colleagues, and the clothes they were wearing were similar.
It appeared that he was not wearing a mask.
In the first place, it is impossible to confirm such a thing on a corpse with a crushed head.
“It’s really hard to believe it even after seeing it.”
King Majang River.
I felt once again that the skills I was so confident in and the way I view people were so low.
“It really seems like the world is wide and there are many strange people.”
Thinking about that, I took a long sigh.
urged the way.
I continued to move along the winding trail in front of me.
Dan Woo-hyeon washed the blood in the flowing stream water. The blood stains on my clothes could not be removed no matter how many people I washed them with.
Thinking about that, I smiled involuntarily.
“Do you feel like you’ve gone back to the old days?” That’s what happens when you think about the past.
Because there wasn’t a single day that went by that I wasn’t soaked in blood. It’s not that I didn’t commit murder even after meeting Dansomi right after I opened my eyes, but I’ve never been this deeply wet before.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had been doing the laundry for a while, squeezed out the remaining water from the laundry and slowly walked out. When I shook off the moisture from my wet clothes, not even a single drop remained and the moisture bounced into the air.
Before I knew it, my clothes were dry.
“How far do you want to go?”
I was worried about my companions as I put on dry clothes. A considerable amount of time has passed. It seemed like more than half a day had passed, so the distance must have dropped quite a bit.
There was nothing I couldn’t chase after if I ran at full speed right now, but my destination was the same, Hanam, and I thought I’d be able to catch up soon, so I didn’t think about going fast. It’s been a long time since I traveled alone.
What if I don’t enjoy this leisurely?
“It looks like they killed every single one of them, but since no one can open their mouths, there’s not much we can find out.” As I thought about that, I immediately made an impression.
To kill a lot is to kill. However, since I couldn’t find out who was behind it, it was clear that my original idea was wrong.
Incantations and spiritual techniques, reverse heavenly magic and energy absorption techniques.
If you think about these combinations, there is definitely an answer.
“Are they descendants of blood demons?”
That thought didn’t go away in my head.
If you think of someone who has all of those things, there is only one person that comes to mind.
I shook my head without realizing it and walked on.
One of the dead was definitely a shaman.
If it is true that he was the one who moved after the collapse of the Namgung family, the answer will ultimately lie in Hanam.
“It was something I decided to do as a pleasure, but it ended up having a purpose.”
Life was truly strange.
It was true that he thought he was helping the Namgung family. Therefore, he decided to go to Hanam for a sightseeing trip or to provide help to Namgung-cheon, but now his goal has become Hanam.
It’s not even funny.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze returned. He noticed a strange presence.
As soon as I turned my gaze, the bushes shook and a familiar man appeared.
“huh?”
“W… were you here?”
“You…”
“My name is Majang River. “Big deal!”
“Right.”
The person who appeared was undoubtedly Ma Yanggang.
Since I hadn’t paid much attention until now, it was quite surprising that he was here. As I was just looking at him with a strange expression, Majang River suddenly came up to me and knelt down in front of me.
“Please take me there!”
“Hmm?”
Dan Woo-hyeon narrowed his eyebrows at the unexpected remark.
Now that I think about it, it seemed like something like this had happened before. I’m sure it was during Kwon Mujin’s time? That guy also got down on his knees with this crazy, pleading look on his face.
Dan Woo-hyeon asked with a puzzled expression.
“Please take me with you? “Are you serious?”
“Of course. I… was looking for a lord to serve for the rest of my life. Isn’t this meeting with the Daehyup a revelation from God to serve the Daehyup?…” “
It is done.”
Dan Woo-hyeon walked, waving his hands excitedly.
It will definitely be useful somewhere. That’s about it for Dansomi’s shield. But Kwon Moo-jin was enough for that.
Majang River is undoubtedly strong, but if you compare him to Kwon Moo-jin, who has grown so far, he is at an equal level. The 100-year-old expert that people are talking about?
I never paid attention from the beginning because I knew that Lee Moo-rim was not easy enough to get caught up in such things. Obviously, according to the public’s opinion, he is stronger than Kwon Moo-jin, but if you compare him to him, he is on par or slightly lower.
There is no need to bring in such a person again.
“Dae Daehyeop.” Now just a moment! “You said you were going to Hanam, right?”
“okay.”
“Then, please let me stay by your side at least for a while. “I will prove to you that I am the person the Daehyup needs.”
“Hmm!”
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned.
The idea is to check whether it is worth it.
But soon he looked into Majang Gang’s eyes and nodded quietly. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to travel alone, but I think it would be good to have someone like Kwon Moo-jin by my side.
Moreover, since it was proving that he was a useful person, I felt that if the travel route was comfortable, it would be comfortable and not a bad thing.
“Well… it’s good. Only up to Hanam. “If you feel like you don’t need me after you get there, you can go back.”
“It’s a huge sum of money!” “I will definitely protect it!”
I am satisfied with that.
It is difficult to stick to something as persistent as Kwon Moo-jin.
By the way, the fastest way to Hanam
is… “This way. Great cooperation! If you take this road and cross the mountain ridge, you will reach the highway that will take you directly to Hanam.”
“Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was looking around, nodded.
A long time ago, he would have known the route better than anyone else, but things had changed so much that I couldn’t tell where I was.
In such a situation, it is truly convenient to have a guide.
Maybe it’s more useful than Jang Sam-tae?
“…Do you know how to cook?”
“You mean cooking?”
“okay.”
“Well… that’s a bit…”
Dan Woohyun nodded while looking at Majang River scratching his cheek. As expected, Dan Woo-hyeon once again thought that there was no one like Jang Sam-tae, even though it was a hassle to go around with him.
Actually, when I first saw him…
I thought he was more useless than anyone else in the manor.
Dan Woo-hyeon quenched his appetite.
I felt like I needed to get into the village as quickly as possible.
Because I don’t want to starve.
“What do you think happened to the head of the Dan family?”
Inside the rattling carriage, Nangong Cheon looked at Sadohak and asked. A day and a half had already passed since I left Dan Woohyeon alone.
I’ve thought about it a lot, but I haven’t been able to find an answer, so I asked the question out of frustration.
Did you catch up with the people who made the Namgung family like that?
For that reason, I think it would be right to naturally inform Namgung Cheon. Because this matter was something that Namgung Cheon had to solve.
The man who didn’t know such things was left alone?
If so, there must be another reason.
“Well, in my opinion, he’s more sinister than what I’m talking about
.”
“That’s true, but leaving Somi behind and moving alone… I think it’s right to see that there’s something there.”
Sadohak sighed heavily.
Then he leaned his back against the carriage wall and looked at Nangong Cheon.
The pitiful look in his eyes was evident.
“Are you stupid? “I didn’t think it would be possible without Somi, so I moved alone.”
“Did you hear what I said right now
? So, didn’t you say it was something unusual?”
Namgungcheon glared at Sadohak with a rather sharp expression.
How can you take it as strange when it seems like they were saying the same thing?
It’s really embarrassing as all the demonic cults may turn their heads.
Sadohak frowned as he let out a long sigh.
“what? “Do you think my head is empty now?”
“I don’t think it’s wrong, but…
“You’re being so outrageous with just one word. This is why the bastards of the political faction tsk tsk. Isn’t that right, Samtae?”
Jang Sam-tae, who was sitting in the coach seat, flinched.
You can just argue amongst yourself. Why are you suddenly inserting yourself? But since I had no choice but to answer, I had no choice but to open my mouth.
“Well… of course it is. Political faction bastards are frustrating. haha!”
At that moment, Namgungcheon’s eyebrows fluttered. He has been protecting the political faction for a long time. No matter how much he has stepped down from that position and is now hiding his name, cursing Jeong Do is insulting Geomwang, who was said to be the strongest man in Jeong Do.
“Big! I heard that you need to know at least one thing that the demonic cults don’t have in their heads. Aren’t you being criticized for speaking and acting so ignorantly? Isn’t that right, Mujin?”
Kwon Moo-jin flinched and turned his head.
If you think about it, he is neither a political faction nor a demon, so interfering with the current situation can never be said to be a good thing.
Although he received a lot of help from Namgung-cheon, Sadohak was a person whose very existence was feared.
As he remained silent and did not say anything, a chilling energy emanated from inside the carriage.
Not only Kwon Moo-jin but also Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.
In the end, Jang Sam-tae stabbed Kwon Moo-jin on the shoulder.
I feel like I need to answer quickly.
“Wh… of course. You need to know that those demonic cultists are empty-headed. Ha… Hahaha….”
“See this bastard? Aren’t you a Sapa guy? Then, of course, it is no different from the Demonic Cult.”
“Why is Safa a demonic religion?”
Kwon Moo-jin, who was in tears, raised his voice.
Are you treating the Demonic Cult and the Sa Sect as the same? The language is absurd!
Of course, it is an undeniable fact that the Demonic Cult is of a higher level than the Sa Sect, but the Sapa was also a force with its own pride and history.
Especially Muhwangseong.
“uh? See this guy? This is why the Sapa guys are the problem. What if I treat you well? “They cheat on me later.”
“That’s true.”
Even Namgungcheon nodded in agreement. He also seemed to think that Kwon Moo-jin was wrong for raising his voice in front of adults.
“These people…”
Kwon Moo-jin raised his eyebrows and forced himself to hold back his anger.
If it hadn’t been for a moving carriage, or if it had been someone of a lower level than me, I might have grabbed him by the collar and dragged him down.
Apostolate lit a fire in his heart.
“What is that? Do you know? This is the reason why Mu Hwang-seong is still alive. Demonic religion….”
“It is the grace of martial arts. cancer!”
“Hoo. “It’s been a while since I see the same thoughts as you.”
“Hehehe. “I think so too.”
They seemed so close that it was hard to believe that they had just been arguing. As we looked at each other and smiled, it seemed like we were best friends.
“Those damn old men!”
In the end, it was Kwon Moo-jin who became angry.
Deciding that I couldn’t listen any more, I jumped up from the coach seat. It looked like they were going to get into the carriage and have a good time.
The moment when Namgung-cheon and Sadohak show their joy.
“If we fight, it’s okay!”
For a moment, a voice was heard that caused silence.
Dansomi, who had a lot of horns, shouted.
His cheeks were puffed out and he huffed as if he were angry. Somi, who was looking around the carriage with round eyes, looked at the two old men and pursed her small lips.
“Grandpas too! “If you fight, you’ll get to dad!”
“…Uh, that’s right.”
“Big!”
“Uncle Kwon too!”
The three people who were talking noisily fell silent.
Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Dansomi’s eyes.
We thought we were relieved because Dan Woo-hyeon was gone, but we each looked out the window, remembering that there was another child who was just as scary.
