Episode 222
“This place was created out of nowhere when Emperor Wu invaded Shaanxi. At first, I just passed it off as a joke…”
Gi Cheon-yu frowned as he recalled the past.
Believe in martial arts.
If you do so, you will be blessed and become a body that neither dies nor grows old, and you will escape from the human world and ascend to the sage world.
Such words began to circulate around the time when Emperor Wu began his invasion of Shaanxi. It was a time when Gupailbang was split in half and Hwasan did not even have the power to properly block the Mukhwangseong.
It was a time when people who were only looking at the volcano were living in fear that it might become the territory of Sapa.
It was the atheists who delved into people’s anxious hearts.
Their sermons moved the hearts of many people.
Not only those who have learned martial arts, but also ordinary people who do not even know martial arts.
Soon, Emperor Wu withdrew from Shaanxi and it was thought that it would soon disappear, but the situation turned even more serious.
The famous ronins tried to capture the religious leader, but as they knelt one after another before his overwhelming power, the people became even more enthusiastic.
Within a few months, fanatics arose and incidents occurred everywhere.
“What happened?”
“Some parents sacrificed their children to the religious leader. “Some gave all their money, and others even killed dozens of people by swinging swords on the streets, saying they would punish those who did not follow the teachings of the religious leader.”
It never ended once or twice.
Even in the village where the volcano was located, someone swung a knife and hurt someone, and in Xi’an, there was also someone who went on a rampage in the village and killed dozens of people.
Also, those who did not have money to give to the religious leader did not hesitate to commit robbery, and there were also those who sold their own children to raise the money.
It seemed like they didn’t even value their lives.
“Now, just hearing the word ‘Musin’ makes me shiver.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth trembled.
Although there is no particular meaning to such a nickname, the mere fact that there are people tarnishing his name makes me shiver.
But it was the same as ever. Blood Demon Church, Heavenly Demon Church, etc.
If you start believing in and following someone, blind people are bound to appear and as a result, this kind of breakdown occurs.
This is even more true if the person at the top is not normal.
Just as the Blood Demon was like that and the Black Wind God Demon was like that.
Dan Woohyun let out a small sigh.
“I see…”
Dan Woo-hyeon turned his back.
I decided it wasn’t worth listening to anymore. If I thought they had any information, I might have questioned them a little more, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed impossible to follow them.
“let’s go.”
“Eh? Are you just leaving?”
“It doesn’t seem like it would be a good thing to have.” The two people
disappeared
into the darkness again. Now that there was no trace of him and no sound of walking, Ki Cheon-yu sighed and sat down on the ground.
“Whoa, you really are a scary person. “I felt like I was going to be sucked in the moment I made eye contact.”
“It seemed like a great expert. Maybe he is someone who has reached the level of the Ten Masters or the Seven Saints…”
“Anyway, let us return to the volcano. “After handing over the captured people and reporting the incident, we must continue to chase after them.” The Hwasan Five Swords nodded at Gi Cheon-yu’s words.
It was a scary experience, but there are things more urgent than that.
“Look, there’s no way I can just leave.” Until now, Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t go to places with many people. However, after hearing about the atheistic religion, the day came to Xi’an at the same time as spring.
As they both walked with their faces covered, people’s eyes poured in from all over.
The police even looked at me with suspicious eyes.
“Are you sure you want to catch me?”
“It’s entertainment.”
Jang Sam-tae knows.
I don’t know what Dan Woo-hyeon is on his way to do now, but he is rushing to get the job done as quickly as possible.
That’s why I knew I didn’t want to pay attention to other things.
But in the end, a place called Mushingyo caught Danwoo County’s attention.
‘The two heads.’
Why bother Danwoo-hyeon because there is no one to mess with him?
It wasn’t something Jang Sam-tae would say, as he was the one who offended Dan Woo-hyeon the most, but he already had a feeling that it wouldn’t end well.
“But. “How can we catch those who couldn’t even catch the volcano?”
Jang Sam-tae did not understand that part the most.
Volcanoes were never stupid. Their information power as well as their power were at least the best in the old faction for a time.
If you think about the reason why they could not chase down the atheist religion in such places, it is because they are made up of point organizations and do not reveal their tails easily.
‘You missed a golden opportunity.’
There was a religious leader in front of me, but I let him run away. Perhaps, from Dan Woo-hyeon’s perspective, he himself was Yeo-hong.
You would never have dreamed that you would catch it.
I glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze.
He was looking at Jang Sam-tae with a disapproving expression.
“I didn’t think anything of it.”
“I didn’t ask.” Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat as if he had stepped into hell.
Although he didn’t say anything, Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to already be reading Jang Sam-tae’s thoughts.
Jang Sam-tae cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Shall we at least search Haomun?”
“If the information had come from a place like that, we would have caught it right away.”
Although we know that Hao Wen has the best information, there is a high possibility that Hwasan also searched Hao Wen. Even in such a situation, if nothing is revealed, it would only be a waste of money to go.
Moreover, there was also what happened last time.
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and swallowed a small moan.
Now it seemed like it was time to grab a room and observe the situation for a while.
* * *
“Have you not found it yet?”
The blood demon looked at Manhulyang, who had his head down on the floor, with a disapproving gaze.
Several months have passed since Dan Woo-hyeon disappeared, and about an hour has passed since we learned of the death of the Black Wind Demon.
Still, I can’t find the missing person’s traces.
For others, it’s okay.
No, if it had been Dan Woo-hyeon in the past, I wouldn’t have even paid much attention to it.
But the movement is not the same as in the past. There’s nothing more insecure than a guy who doesn’t know where he’s going to end up.
Even more so if it is the martial god Dan Woo-hyeon.
“We released the children as much as possible, but… no way…”
“What about Honam Danga?”
“There is no sign of return. “It’s not easy to get children near that place in the first place.”
Man Huliang broke into a cold sweat and answered with difficulty.
Every time I say things like I failed, I can’t find it, I don’t know, I feel like my heart is dropping.
It felt like my head was falling off with each word.
The blood demon looked down at Manhu Liang with a sour gaze.
Then, as if I thought it wouldn’t work, I snapped my fingers. Suddenly, a dozen subordinates appeared from the darkness.
They appeared covered in red fog and bowed their heads before the blood demon.
‘Blood ghost bird!’
Man Huliang trembled.
The Blood Demon Team was one of the assassination groups that supported the Blood Demon Cult. His skills were such that even a murderous sword could not compete with him, and his stealth was unrivaled.
Although they have been hidden and not revealed until now, the fact that they were called was one thing.
“good. “Kill the rats in Honam Danga and bring their daughter to me.”
Man Huliang took a deep breath.
Until now, the Blood Demon has not controlled those inside the Blood Demon Palace. We always used people from outside to make plans and put them into action.
After all, such a blood demon is acting like a blood demon.
‘They’re flocking?’
Man Huliang thought it could not be possible and denied the idea in his mind.
However, it would not be an illusion that the blood demon sitting on the throne looks small these days.
He once again denied such thoughts and awakened his loyalty to the lord he believed in.
‘That can’t be possible! ‘Who is my lord?’
Man Houliang bowed his head.
Inside the room in Xi’an Guest House, Jang Sam-tae moved his hands. Last time, even that was impossible, but now we are starting to see some progress, little by little.
He stared at the window outside the room.
I saw people coming and going noisily.
No matter who saw it, it looked like nothing was going to happen. However, we had to be very alert in preparation for an accident that could occur at any moment.
Around them, warriors armed with swords were walking around on guard.
The police officers were also looking around with lights in their eyes.
This meant that the situation in Shaanxi was not good.
“In the first place…”
Jang Sam-tae sighed and muttered.
It was a monologue spoken alone, even though no one was listening.
“No matter what happens, will anything come out?”
Jang Sam-tae, who had been watching outside for a full day, could not help but feel frustrated. Do you know that feeling of having to just look out the window?
Dan Woo-hyeon also doesn’t come out of his room.
Since I even eat my meals in my room, I feel like I have become some kind of outcast.
“It would be nice if I could just continue on my way to the point where I am a non-believer….”
He shook his head and sighed.
Even if he were to be a descendant of the god of war, it was clear that he would not be directly related to the god of war. If you say you know someone from a thousand years ago, is that a person?
“I was lucky enough to learn martial arts, so I don’t even have to pretend to be a disciple…”
That was the frustrating part for Jang Sam-tae.
Is there a need to keep the name just because you acquired and mastered the martial arts? From Jang Sam-tae’s perspective, even that time was a waste.
It would have been better to run to Honam right away and play with Dansomi.
Of course, I know that Dansomi is not the same as before.
When I thought about that, my shoulders slumped in celebration.
‘Those damn kittens….’ Baekkyo and Baekho.
Just hearing that name made me shiver.
At least since they appeared, Dan So-mi has been spending more time playing with them than with Jang Sam-tae.
The more I thought about it, the more gloomy it became.
But you can’t beat up things that you can’t even talk about.
No, in the first place, I couldn’t hit the white cat because of its agility, and I couldn’t touch the white tiger because I thought it would get bitten if it attacked.
A gloomy Jang Sam-tae slumped his shoulders.
It was at that moment that I heard a sound outside.
“Aaaah!”
It was the sound of a woman’s scream.
My gaze turned towards that place.
A woman collapsed in the middle of the street and a group of men grabbed her bag.
As if that wasn’t enough, others around them quickly overturned the stall, took the store owner’s money, and ran away.
“what’s this?”
Jang Sam-tae looked at it blankly.
This is Xi’an, not any other place.
It was not common sense to understand that the police would do such a thing even though their eyes were wide open.
The police hurriedly chased after those who ran away.
But I didn’t feel like I could hold on.
“There are some who are part of a gang.”
Jang Sam-tae was startled by the sound that came out of nowhere.
When I turned my head with a blank look, I saw Dan Woo-hyeon, who had been there for some time, standing there holding a bamboo lip.
His eyes were on the police officers following behind. In some ways, it seemed like they were trying with all their might to catch them, but they were intentionally falling down and disturbing their colleagues to prevent them from catching those running away.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was watching the action, opened his mouth.
“Let’s go out. I want to look around.”
Return to War
