Episode 205
“Something really noisy Deb Show?”
The group that arrived in Seonyeong, Cheonghae Province, took a seat while listening to the voices of people whispering here and there. There was a strange look of anxiety on people’s faces.
I felt anxious as if something had happened, and the atmosphere was very calm.
Jang Sam-tae made an impression, feeling a very different atmosphere from last time.
This is my third time coming to Seonyeong.
Once when I entered Cheonsan, and again when I left Cheonsan and moved to the central plains.
Although it was only two times at most, the atmosphere had changed so much since not so long ago that I felt somewhat uncomfortable. Unlike Dansomi, who opened her eyes wide and was immersed in a scene she had never seen before, most of the group members noticed something strange and made unhappy expressions.
“It looks like some kind of satanic mess has occurred.”
Namgungcheon muttered while checking people’s eyes. There were so many voices coming from all over the place that important information did not reach my ears.
While frowning and sighing.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had been sitting quietly,
opened his mouth.
“They say Kunlun has become extinct.”
“…!?” “what!”
Everyone was surprised by Dan Woo-hyeon’s casually uttered words. In particular, Namgungcheon’s surprise was even greater.
Where is Kunlun?
Although it is not as prosperous as in the past, it is a sect that has reigned as the guardian of Cheonghae for a long time.
The extinction of such a place was by no means something that could be easily accepted.
“Sa… is it true?”
“It seem to be like that. “I don’t know the details.”
The corners of Namgungcheon’s mouth trembled.
The distance to Kunlun Mountain, where the Kunlun Sect is located, is ten days from here. Even if you were to ride on horseback, it would take three or four days, so you couldn’t see it with your own eyes right away.
“How could something like that happen…?”
Nangong Cheon’s hands were shaking.
Kunlun is like no other place.
A place that was once the most powerful of the nine factions and had no enemies.
Not now, but even a hundred years ago, didn’t even the master of the Heavenly Demonic Cult at the time pay respect to them?
How could such a thing collapse?
My mind was a mess.
Kwasik-!
At that time, Sadohak broke the chopsticks he was holding and his eyes glowed sinisterly.
The only person who would do something like this was none other than the Black Wind God Demon.
“never mind. “This is what Moorim is all about.”
“I know, but!”
Sadohak suddenly stood up and shouted. That one word caught the attention of people around him. Even Dansomi, who was playing with a teacup, opened her eyes wide.
“…It is nothing.”
Dan Woo-hyeon is right.
This is what a place called Moorim is like
. Betrayal is everywhere and at any time, and today, if someone who was your friend turns his back, you will swing a knife.
Moorim is a place where you always have to worry about tomorrow even while you sleep and live without those who are better than you.
The same goes for the Black Wind God Demon.
What he was doing was no different from what many people had been doing.
“Hehe…”
Namgung-cheon burst out in empty laughter.
He also had the same thoughts as Sadohak, but even so, the destruction of Kunlun was a shock beyond imagination. My mixed feelings did not go away.
It was at that time that Jeomsoy approached.
Namgungcheon took out the eunja from his arms and handed it to Jeom Soyi.
“If you know anything about what happened in Kunlun, please tell me.”
“I never thought you’d be in a place like this.”
“Haha, is that so?”
Two people with a strange atmosphere were sitting in an ornately decorated place that seemed to have been built for boating at the mouth of Akyang.
The two people were giving and receiving drinks, and one person had quite a classy appearance.
He was wearing a palace jacket that only high-ranking officials would wear, and even his hair was neatly tied up, and he seemed to have even oiled it up.
Any way you look at him, he was clearly a well-educated scholar. He was none other than Zhuge Un.
In front of him sat a man who was truly unsuited to a position like this.
It was a worn-out mat that looked as if it would tear at any moment if the clothes were pulled on.
Just getting close to him gave off a sinister smell, but no one dared to say anything about his attire.
Because the entire place was rented out, there were no guests to point out, but even if there were guests, they would have walked back with their mouths shut in horror if they saw the knot on his waist.
Geohwang Bangnobaek.
Because he was one of the five highest-ranking men in this midfield.
“I guess you have no intention of returning to the Murim Alliance?”
“That’s right. It seems like there is no value to the place called the Murim Alliance anymore…”
The Emperor smiled bitterly at Zhuge Un’s cold words.
Since it was split in two, blood was bound to flow.
If one side, whether the Murim Alliance or the Cheondohoe, is not integrated, stabbings will become rampant in the central circle.
“Then why did you call me?”
“I think you already know.”
“You mean Kunlun’s work?”
Zhuge Un nodded slightly.
A moan escaped the Emperor’s mouth as well. On the way here, detailed information was written on the Jeon Seo-gu that was rushed in from Gongjae.
“Out of a total of three hundred Taoists of the Kunlun Sect, less than forty survived. “It is virtually extinct.”
“I know.”
huh? The Emperor gave him a strange look.
Now, this information is being sought even in the open. How could Zhuge Un, who is so far away, know such things?
‘Does this mean that even if it rots, it is still acceptable?’
Zhuge Un’s fear was revealed once again.
In fact, if it had not been for the contact from Hao Mun Wen-ju, who served Dan Woo-hyeon, he would not have known anything either.
“Then do you know this too?”
Geohwang looked at Zhuge Yun with a strange gaze and slowly opened his mouth.
“The pleural effusion….”
5k * *
“I see… Thank you.”
Namgungcheon, who heard the whole story, nodded. There was no important information. Jeomsoi had only heard rumors, so he just collected stories that came from all over the place.
The good news is that not all of the Kunlun sect’s Taoists died?
Although there are only a few survivors, they will be enough to rebuild the clan. Although it will take an infinitely long time.
While Namgung-cheon sighs.
The door to the guest room opened with a squeak.
“Amitabha Buddha-.”
There were people coming inside chanting Buddhist prayers.
At most, the two people and their presence were no joke. For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused and there was silence. There was so much silence that even the sound of swallowing could be heard.
“Yikes!”
The people who were most surprised to see them were none other than Jang Sam-tae and Majang-gang.
The two suddenly lowered their heads and went behind Dan Woo-hyeon to hide.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at them asking what they were doing, but the two just shook their heads and pretended to cover their lips with their fingers.
The two lamas slowly looked around and approached the empty seat. But suddenly, I looked at Dan Woo-hyeon and the two masked people and suddenly stopped in my tracks.
“Amitabha Buddha-.”
“What?”
Sadohak asked with an expression of being invisible behind a mask.
Even at first glance, they were not ordinary guys. Even at Podalap Palace, it is quite expensive.
When these people suddenly approached me and started chanting, I became irritated.
“Excuse me, Siju. “I came here because I saw a familiar face, so I hope you don’t feel uncomfortable.”
One of the lamas glared at Jang Sam-tae, who was secretly hiding behind Danwoohyeon.
The eyes of Sadohak, Namgungcheon, and the others automatically turned to Jang Samtae.
“Ah… hello. “Master… Master.”
“Fuhahaha!”
Jang Sam-tae carefully got up, put his hands together and bowed his head. Even when the word teacher came out of his mouth, Sadohak burst into laughter.
The lama glanced at Sadohak.
However, instead of breaking his expression, he put his hands together and asked.
“Your hair has grown back.”
“Yes, it will grow again over time.”
“Kkkkkkk…!”
Laughs leaked out from everywhere at his gentle appearance, which was completely different from usual.
There were those who had known Jang Sam-tae for a long time and some who had seen him on a daily basis seemed somewhat uneasy about it.
Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.
I glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon to ask him for help, but he just smiled and said nothing.
At that time, the lama took out a small dagger from his chest.
“Didn’t it originally say that a monk must become a monk?”
He gives up his desires, leaves his family, and devotes himself to the Buddhist path.
That was the reason monks shaved their heads.
If your hair grew, it meant that you had a desire to grow, so it was also your duty to get rid of the desire by shaving your head again.
But it has nothing to do with Jang Sam-tae.
Jang Sam-tae muttered softly, avoiding the lama’s gaze.
“I… am not a monk?”
“Fuhahaha!”
“Hehehe….”
Eventually, I burst out laughing.
Jang Sam-tae looked embarrassed at the laughter that burst from the mouths of Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak. How embarrassing it was that even Namgung So-hye, who was observing the situation politely, lowered her head and shook her shoulders.
The lama’s face turned red.
I was embarrassed in front of so many people.
“this guy! Is this a guy who has received the palace’s favor turning a blind eye to that? Are you planning to commit apostasy?”
“You are an apostate, and you had no intention of becoming a monk in the first place, right?”
“Then how did
you learn the martial arts of the palace?”
The eyes of everyone in the guesthouse were focused on Jang Sam-tae.
The opponent is none other than Podalap Palace. As Gyuyu is more famous than any other place for being strict, you should not accept anything offered there carelessly.
However, Jang Sam-tae learned martial arts and even shaved his head. It meant becoming a member of the Podalab Palace, but now I could understand the position of the lamas who were angry that they were suddenly saying that they were not monks.
At that time, Jang Sam-tae looked up at the ceiling of the guest room.
Then he let out a small sigh and scratched his cheek.
“They said they would teach me, so I learned it… If I had known how to cut hair, would I have learned it? Of course I didn’t…”
“Hahaha! “You crazy guy!”
Sadohak burst into laughter again.
He’s probably the only one who gets a lot of credit for teaching me. And Jang Sam-tae is the only one who can speak so openly when the parties involved are in front of him.
That’s why the laughter didn’t go away.
“this guy-!”
In the end, the lama was angry to the core and shouted.
His eyes were bright as if they were sparks, and the gaze he was shooting at Jang Sam-tae was filled with murder.
His right hand swelled greatly.
Daesooin.
Seasons at Podalap Palace.
The moment I was about to extend it, the sheath touched my neck.
“It’s in front of a child. “Do not use martial arts carelessly
.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice spread calmly.
