Episode 300
“How on earth is this happening!?”
Hwang Bo-won, who entered Honam Danga, shouted loudly. There was a mixture of resentment in the words uttered towards none other than the Sword Emperor Namgungcheon.
Since the Emperor disappeared, Mo Yonghyeokmun caused an uproar.
Thanks to this, the Murim Alliance disintegrated and split into two forces.
Moreover, through numerous incidents, the power of the political faction became increasingly weaker.
If only Geomhwang had been alive!
The famous monks of the political faction had such regrets in their hearts.
So they tried to become Geomwang. That is the true face of those who lead the current political faction.
“It stinks, so step back a little.” At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon waved his hand and frowned.
This is because Hwang Bowon shouted in front of him while he was sitting on the veranda leisurely drinking.
“Don’t tell and don’t ask. “Isn’t it good for you guys to find out?”
It was none other than Sadohak who intervened and fired shots at them.
Was he trying to help Namgung-cheon, who was in trouble, or was he displeased with Hwang Bo-won raising his voice during the Danga?
Either way, the intimidation of his words was beyond imagination.
Hwang Bo-won, who had raised his voice, tried to keep his mouth shut, but he glared at Nam Gung-cheon and expressed his opinion as if he had not finished what he had to say yet.
“You must go to Heavenly Capital immediately!”
“I’m not going.”
“Why? The current political faction says, “Wasn’t it you who made the political faction like that?”
Hwang Bo-won was speechless at the stinging words.
Strictly speaking, the reason why the political faction split into two was because of the factional fight that took place within the Murim Alliance.
As there was no such thing as Geomwang and the gathered power spread out in all directions, a power struggle naturally broke out.
Also, it was none other than the eight generations of people who created such a result.
Therefore, it was impossible to say whose fault it was.
“Stop going back. “Don’t tell anyone we’re here
.”
“That’s…
the moment when Hwang Bowon was about to raise his voice in rebuttal.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
I was startled without realizing it, and when I turned my gaze, I felt the gaze of Sadohak, who was sitting quietly.
Looking at his extremely disapproving expression, it seemed like he was planning to cut everyone down on the spot if he messed up.
Sweat came out from my hands.
“It’s okay, but
it’s a little noisy.”
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon, who had kept his mouth shut, muttered. As soon as one word was spoken, the surroundings felt a cold chill, as if they had frozen.
Hwang Bo-won trembled without even realizing it.
‘The author… of Honam Danga…’ I couldn’t help but sigh.
The one who commands three of those called the Five Emperors.
I don’t know how something like that was possible, but I was keenly aware that he was not an ordinary person.
This is because the moment I made eye contact with him, I felt like I would be sucked into the abyss.
‘Maybe…’
I had a suspicion that it might be stronger than Geomhwang.
But he soon rejected that idea.
If so, it meant that the author had reached the level of the three thousand, a level that had not been reached for a long time.
I thought it was just a simple illusion, as it was impossible for someone who looked that young to do that.
“I’m not interested in whether it’s Hwangbo Se or Cheondohoe. “If you have no further business, please leave.”
I nipped it in the bud with firm words.
No matter what you say, the same thing will come out and the same conclusion will be drawn.
Namgungcheon will never go to Cheondohoe, and Hwang Bowon will try to take Namgungcheon no matter what.
Since I didn’t want such a noisy situation, it was wise to kick him out.
“What are you saying! I clenched my fist until Hwang Bo-won was crushed, as if I would never give in to the old man.
If Namgungcheon appears again and joins the Cheondohoe, the gap will widen enough to take away all of the remaining influence of the Murim Alliance.
I didn’t want to miss that opportunity. At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
Afterwards, even Sadohak showed a dumbfounded expression.
It was as if Hwang Bo-won’s sinister mind was read in an instant.
“Hehehe-.”
The person who burst out laughing at that time was none other than Namgung-cheon. He slowly stood up and looked at Hwang Bowon.
This situation must be resolved.
It gets even more embarrassing when Dan Woo-hyeon starts to come forward.
As I approached Hwang Bo-won, a terrible smell came up. Namgungcheon frowned, but then calmly opened his mouth quietly.
“Would you like to follow me for a moment?”
“Where… do you mean?”
“It’ll just take a moment. Oh, you too.”
Namgung-cheon glanced at the figures of the Hwangbo family. Although they were keeping an eye on each other, it was a request from Geomhwang, not anyone else.
As a true believer, the warriors who followed him with reverence could not reject Namgungcheon’s words.
“It’s this way.”
Namgungcheon was hurrying away.
Hwang Bo-won and his companions, who knew nothing, followed Namgung-cheon with puzzled expressions. It was because of some expectation that he might be about to say something important.
“Ah, about that…”
However, Nam Gung So-hye, who was watching the situation, broke into a cold sweat with a bored expression.
Now, to the place where Namgungcheon took them.
There was a training ground.
And there were all kinds of weapons that were good for defeating people.
Sure enough, someone’s voice rang out.
[Now… wait… keaaah-!]
Dansomi was out on Akyang Street for the first time in a long time. Ju Ji-yak and Hong Jin-rang were with them, and they were spending time looking around the streets, sightseeing, and eating snacks.
“There are so many people?” Hong Jinrang frowned.
After the last martial arts competition, a significant number of martial artists came into Akyang. Most of them were presumed to be Ronin, but they were moving as if they were waiting for someone or looking for someone.
“He must have come to look for Gunja Sword and Macheongun. “This is an opportunity to see their martial arts skills with my own eyes.”
Ju Ji-yak looked around at the people with a puzzled expression.
It is not something that can be learned by learning martial arts. It occurred to me that they might have come because they wanted to build a relationship with the Gentleman’s Sword or Lord Macheon.
Without even knowing that doing so would be useless.
“No, is that really true!?”
“Hehehe, that’s right. “I hope you live long and strong.”
“Whahaha! “Thank you, thank you!”
At that time, a voice was heard from somewhere that caught the children’s ears. When I turned my head and looked, there was a place where people were gathered.
There was an old man sitting there, who looked as if he were reading fortunes.
“They say that’s Hyeoncheongja?”
“Yes? Wasn’t that a very famous fortune teller? I’m sure… I heard that he died from the Black Island Lord… wasn’t that true?”
“That’s right.”
People passing by were whispering and talking about the fortune teller. Everyone was looking at me with suspicion, wondering if it was fake, but the doubts seemed to gradually disappear as I heard the exclamations of those who had seen the fortune.
“Hyeoncheongja?”
“I don’t know, Somi?”
When Somi asked, Jiyak was surprised. Hyeoncheongja refers to a very famous fortune teller in Jungwon. It is said that there is nothing he cannot hit, so many people come looking for him.
It is said that high-ranking officials would pay a huge amount of money to read fortunes, so it was no wonder that his reputation spread throughout the central plains.
“Heh… heh, is it that great?”
“huh! “It’s my first time seeing this, but if it’s really the prefectural office, it’s amazing.”
The three children’s eyes sparkled. He seemed like he wanted to see his fortune at least once, but couldn’t even think about it because the line was so long.
At that time, Hyeoncheongja nodded and turned his head.
Soon, Dansomi’s eyes met and she smiled.
Make hand gestures. It was as if he was telling me to come here.
“Me?”
When Dansomi asked, tilting her head as if curious, Hyeoncheongja nodded. I didn’t understand why, but I had no choice but to go when an adult called.
As Dansomi approached, the county clerk looked at the child and smiled.
“Hehe, I am a child born with great luck.”
“Heh… hehe?”
“I have good energy. Even though it didn’t start well.”
“Do you know what?”
“Who is this old man? This is the head of the county office. “There is nothing I don’t know, so there is nothing I can hide from Nobu.”
Dan So-mi was startled by the words and opened her eyes. I held my breath unconsciously, wondering if that was really true. I remembered that I urinated on the blanket a few days ago
and I still hadn’t told Dan Woo-hyeon.
Hyeoncheongja chuckled.
“You were born with everything. But what moves that luck is the wind…?”
Hyeoncheongja paused for a moment, saying it was the wind. It was obvious that he was quite surprised but also amused. Soon, he held Dansomi’s hand tightly.
“oh! sick.”
Dansomi frowned when she felt the pain.
At the same time, the county clerk quickly withdrew his hand.
He chirped and a cloud of smoke rose from his hand.
“Uhm…”
Hyeoncheongja looked at his hands and swallowed a moan. The surprised expressions of the people around him didn’t seem to register in his eyes.
Hyeoncheongja, who had been looking at his hands for a long time, looked at Dansomi again.
“Dark clouds will come soon.”
“yes? “Is it sunny?” Dansomi looked up at the sky and hesitated. It’s sunny and there isn’t a cloud in sight. It seemed impossible that dark clouds would form on a day like this.
Hyeoncheongja laughed.
Dansomi, who couldn’t understand what he meant, looked into his eyes while stroking his head, as if he thought he was cute.
Dan Somi let out a small exclamation as if she was being sucked in by the gaze.
“But the light is brighter than the darkness.”
“Is this a good story?”
“okay. “It’s a good story.”
Hyeoncheongja smiled softly.
Eventually, he stood up as if there was nothing more to talk about. Many people shouted for more fortune telling, but they shook their heads and bit people.
Finally, I looked down at Dansomi.
“I feel really good today. “Because I saw a child like you.”
“Hehehe.”
“I hope that the wind that blows next to you will always stay by your side.”
For a moment, the corners of Hyeoncheongja’s mouth rose.
I didn’t know what it meant, but for some reason, I felt a chill coming over me.
Dan So-mi, who was laughing, tightly closed her mouth.
As I took a step back without realizing it, Joo Ji-yak, who was behind me, grabbed So-mi’s back. If I had gone one step further back, I would have definitely fallen.
“wind…?”
“Hehehe, yes, the wind.” Hyeoncheongja began to walk hurriedly.
It’s as if there is no more story to share.
Like a mysterious character from a story, he was slowly making his way through the streets of Agyang, where the sunset was setting.
Dansomi stared at it.
My head hurt a little from the unfamiliar words.
“He’s a strange person.”
“I… I see.”
The two children tilted their heads.
