Episode 209
“Is this this place?”
A village somewhat far from Cheonsan Mountain. Although it is a small town overall, it seemed to have made a lot of progress so that there was nothing missing.
Among the houses gathered together, large guest houses were seen, and there was also a large clan.
The author street is also quite lively.
Although it was far from a center of trade, there were quite a lot of merchants coming and going here, a variety of goods existed, and there seemed to be no hesitation in exchange.
Sadohak, who was wearing a mask, just looked at it.
‘It’s changed a lot….’
This is where Dongbang-gu was born and raised.
It was also the place where Apostolate and Orientalism met. Some traces of my childhood remain, but many things have changed as time has passed.
There weren’t that many people back then… there weren’t any big buildings like that… thinking about that, I smiled bitterly without realizing it.
“Time is so fleeting.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Sadohak at his words.
“Is time fleeting or do you miss those days?”
“huh? Hahaha! You might think so. Yes… definitely…”
Sadohak didn’t answer as if he was thinking for a moment, but then nodded. Although his expression was not visible, the words that came out of his mouth were quite bright.
“I guess I miss those days.”
Dan Woo-hyeon also knows that feeling.
Although I was having a good time with Dansomi, it was also true that I sometimes missed those days.
Perhaps it is evidence that Dan Woo-hyeon has aged.
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled again and asked.
“Did you find the place you needed to find?”
“Just follow this road all the way. “If I remember correctly.”
They are no one else but the Dongbang-gu family.
Dongbang-gu, who gained great power at the same time that Sadohak ascended to the position of Heavenly Demon and took control of the Demonic Cult, naturally took care of his family.
The largest manor in this village was Dong Bang-gu’s house.
Dan So-mi, who was walking while holding Namgung So-hye’s hand, rolled her eyes here and there. Sometimes I raised my eyes as if it was amazing to see a sight for the first time, and sometimes I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a while.
Dan So-mi, who had been walking for a while, looked at Namgung So-hye as if she had noticed something strange. Her tension could be felt right through her fingertips as each warrior holding a sword passed by.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ahaha… oh no, it’s nothing.”
Namgung Sohye smiled awkwardly.
He tilted his head and reassured Dansomi, who was looking at him with worried eyes. However, the glances in his eyes were still full of tension.
‘Whoa… I never thought I would come to a place like this…’
The entire Xinjiang is the territory of the Demonic Cult.
Therefore, political faction members cannot enter without permission. Of course, it would be possible to hide his identity and delve into it, but he would soon go missing and be found dead somewhere.
Even as she was the daughter of the Namgung family, the main axis of the political faction, I was very concerned that she had entered the realm of the Demonic Cult, which was the main enemy.
‘Why is Grandpa so carefree?’
But on the other hand, Namgungcheon was calm.
The man walking ahead was talking about apostolate and smiling, and there was no trace of tension in his face.
This was even more so because it was a situation where he could easily be captured and attacked by 100,000 magicians. Unlike Nam Gung-cheon, she doesn’t even wear a mask.
Although their faces were covered with cotton thread, the experts were able to see through them.
Namgung Sohye was not the only one who was anxious.
Jang Sam-tae and Ma Jang-gang were also looking around with nervous expressions.
These are two people who had a difficult time escaping after a scandal broke out in less than a few months.
But now that we have returned to the territory of that demonic cult, I wonder if my anxiety is terrible.
“Don’t look around so much. “That looks even weirder.”
“No, it looks strange wherever we go.”
Jang Sam-tae muttered with a somewhat pitiful expression.
Aside from Dan So-mi and Dan Woo-hyeon, the two old men are wearing masks and a woman is wearing a cotton thread.
Even so, the strange masks are attracting attention, but Jang Sam-tae and Majang-gang wore masks to cover their faces.
It was natural for people passing by to glance.
Especially when warriors with swords were watching, it sent shivers down my spine.
“It’s here…”
Eventually, Sadohak stopped at a certain place.
A large manor.
I had seen countless houses before coming here, but none were as big as this one.
It was grand and splendid, as if it showed that a famous person lived there.
But for some reason it was very quiet.
The gate was tightly locked and there was no sign of anyone inside. Sadohak was impressed by the feeling that no one was living there.
“That’s strange.”
He approached the front door with a puzzled expression.
“Ouch! Hey! “What are you doing now?”
A passerby came up to him and quickly stopped Sadohak. His face turned red, as if he was in shock.
“I was trying to open the door?”
“This is someone who will cause big trouble! “This place is empty and no one is allowed in.”
A passerby was talking loudly. He glanced at his surroundings and seemed anxious about even talking in front of this door.
He reached out and pulled Sadohak’s collar.
Sadohak obediently followed him and hurriedly walked away from the front door, touched by his lifeless hands.
“Do you know the Dongbangse people by any chance?”
“Is that so?”
“I won’t say anything else, but please don’t have anything to do with that place anymore. “If you get caught by the demonic people, you won’t end up as Chidogon.” Apostolic’s impression was crumpled. I couldn’t see him because of the mask, but I felt his eyes turn sinister. A passerby was startled and lowered his head without realizing it.
“If there is no one in here, where are the people of the East Three Streets now?”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was watching, asked.
I could tell just by looking that there was no one there.
This meant that if the people of the Eastern Family were not dead, they were staying somewhere else.
Judging by the behavior of passers-by, it was clear that it was alive.
“Big… they are…”
“Yes?”
For a moment, Jang Sam-tae wondered if he had heard wrong.
“So… the village is right around the corner and there are plenty of places to sleep… so you’re saying you’re going to sleep on the street?”
“okay.”
Jang Sam-tae was shocked to see Dan Woo-hyeon nodding his head obediently. Dan Woo-hyeon spares no expense when it comes to sweet beauty.
But suddenly you find yourself homeless?
Even if you eat and sleep in a nice guesthouse, it won’t be easy!
Even think about the number of people.
In this situation where there was not even food to eat, it was necessary to work hard to feed and put so many people to sleep.
Jang Sam-tae wanted to avoid that much.
“Cha… I’d rather sleep in the guest room with Somi!” He subtly mentioned Dansomi’s name.
There is probably no one here who does not know that name. In particular, it is a name that is like a special medicine to Dan Woo-hyeon more than anyone else.
Was that thought accurate?
Dan Woohyun felt somewhat shaken.
“Somi sleep well! This Samtae takes care of Somi! Lord Jang, if you can rest comfortably here….”
“I like being outside too, right?”
At that time, Dan So-mi, who came all the way with a bright smile, grabbed Jang Sam-tae by his collar and handed him something he was holding in his hand.
It was none other than a fig.
“I picked it up there! “I guess there are a lot of them around here.”
“So… Somi, a guesthouse is better than a dangerous place like this…”
“They said Baekmyo was good too! And Somi wanted to try something like this.”
He looked up at Jang Sam-tae with sparkling eyes. That innocent gaze was so bright that I unconsciously covered my eyes and took a step back.
But you can’t back down.
“What… scary mountain beasts….”
“Hehe, Uncle Samtae will protect me!”
Jang Sam-tae’s heart melted at the sight of him smiling.
When I’m with that child, what does it matter whether it’s a mountain, a house, or a room? Isn’t it important to just be together?
Thinking about that, I nodded willingly.
“Okay, okay! “Mr. Jang will make something delicious for you, so let’s play together!”
“and-! Somi knew that would happen, so she ripped off a lot of it!”
I began to take something out of my pocket. I had picked wild vegetables to use in cooking, and the moment I put them down one by one, the eyes of the people around me widened.
Jang Sam-tae looked at them one by one, his hands shaking. Wild greens are wild greens, but they are not something you can just eat.
“This is… three.”
“Three?”
Namgung-cheon looked at the wild ginseng lying on the floor and smiled awkwardly. Although it was large in size, it was definitely a spirit plant with spiritual energy flowing throughout it.
Although it was not enough to improve internal energy, it was enough to create a spiritual altar that could treat internal injuries.
There were also hado, which were quite sturdy and thick, so even mountaineers climbing the mountain could not easily obtain them.
‘Where on earth
did I get something like this?…’
Even Dan Woo-hyeon was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
“Can I eat something delicious with this?”
Dan So-mi, who was actually the person involved, was smiling and thinking about what to eat this evening, as if she didn’t know anything.
“Of course. “It’s going to be a good evening.”
“lol.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at the wild ginseng while stroking the head of So-mi, who smiled brightly.
Since it looked like the most expensive thing, I thought I could make some money by selling it on the street.
Around the time I was thinking that.
bang-!
Suddenly a loud noise was heard.
Dan So-mi, startled, opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction where the sound came from. That place was definitely the small village they were in just a little while ago.
“now…?”
“Don’t worry about it. “ Rather,
I should prepare dinner.”
Dan So-mi nodded slightly as she saw Dan Woo-hyeon smiling softly.
And at that moment, Jang Sam-tae realized.
Why did they go into the forest instead of sleeping in the village and why is there no sadhak here?
It’s different from the first one, but it’s a succession of bangs from behind! A rustling sound was heard. The gaze
of Namgung So-hye and Kwon Moo-jin and Majang River
did not leave that place.
They, who had deeper inner strength than Jang Sam-tae, seemed to be hearing people’s screams coming from far away.
“It has begun.”
Eventually, Namgung-cheon muttered as he put firewood into the bonfire. The power of angry sadology was taking control of the surroundings.
It was a long distance, but the deep demonic energy of Sadohak ignored distance.
A force so strong that it made my hands tingle was carried by the wind.
“Is this the power of the Demon Emperor…?” A person who has been around countless times but has never revealed his true power.
Therefore, many people only thought that he would be similar to Namgungcheon, but in fact, they already knew about the Sword Emperor Namgungcheon.
Apostolic studies have already surpassed the wall.
“Are you jealous?”
“Hehehe, of course it’s enviable, isn’t it? Look… the fire is already boiling over.”
Nangong Cheon
smiled like a child, his eyes shining.
If Apostolate has surpassed himself, he will also be able to surpass himself.
I was so looking forward to that day.
