< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 47 >
“Wow… this is Mt. Wudang….”
Dansomi looked at Mt. Wudang with a curious expression. I may remember coming there once as a child, but it is no exaggeration to say that the view I saw when I grew up was literally spectacular.
Of course, it was still a bit far away, but I could see why it was called one of the Jungwon Oak places.
“Hmph, I guess it’s worth a thousand mountains.”
“But look over there, Grandpa. “Aren’t the autumn leaves very beautiful?”
“Well, it’s not as good as Cheonsan Mountain. I will definitely show you the grandeur of Heavenly Mountain. “If you look at that, the other mountains are just superficial.”
“W-Really?”
Dan So-mi’s eyes sparkled and she gave him an expectant look.
Even though I listened to his words full of pride, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like. It seemed like it would be better to see things like this in person than to think about them.
So expectations boiled over.
“Are we going to Tianshan after here? “I’m already excited.”
I guess I was finally thinking that the scenery in front of me was a bit like a sightseeing trip. Even though I was tired from the long journey, I didn’t care and kept looking around.
The flower garden that Ju Ji-yak took me to last time was also wonderful, but the scenery of Wudang Mountain seen from a little distance gave me an indescribably mysterious feeling.
I don’t think this place is called a spiritual mountain for no reason.
“By the way, I don’t think I’m planning on taking a rest in the village.”
“The destination is just around the corner. “Let’s climb first and then rest.”
Everyone shook their heads at Dan Woo-hyeon’s words. Since Mudangsan Mountain is called Yeongsan, it is famous for its steep terrain and there are many places where it is difficult to even climb it.
Of course, these are at a level that most places called famous mountains have, but shamans are so bad that they are in the top three.
“No, but… some people are tired, so shouldn’t they take a break?”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with wide eyes and asked.
I moved along a bad road to avoid people’s eyes as much as possible. The forced march was indescribably tiring both mentally and physically, and Jang Sam-tae, who had to drive a carriage all day and prepare meals, felt like he was going to collapse at any moment.
The shadows under the eyes are dark.
No, there was darkness that felt like I was being sucked into it.
At the same time, his bloodshot eyes looked like they were about to explode at any moment, and his trembling hands made him feel that he was already physically strained.
Dan Woo-hyeon was speechless as he looked at it.
“It looks like a sore throat.”
“It’s because of you?!”
I never thought it would be this terrible.
Can’t we just think about people a little bit?
Jang Sam-tae glanced back and looked at the people.
Since Dan So-mi has Dan Woo-hyeon by her side, her physical condition does not suffer. Namgung So-hye has been training since childhood and has taken care of her own physical condition, so although she looks a little tired, she looks fine.
What about the remaining three?
tell me what to do
He looks so fine that even when he says he is someone who has just come out of the house, it is believable.
“Hehe – it’s because I neglected my regular training.”
“Just give me some time to train.”
Jang Sam-tae frowned.
If you do all kinds of household chores and errands from morning to evening, it will be night before you know it. Even when he goes to his room after work, he has to take care of his two children, so he doesn’t even have enough time to sleep, let alone train.
‘Oh my heavens…’
Jang Sam-tae looked up at the sky in tears.
Today, I especially missed Maehyang’s face.
It’s a day when I need the nagging that I hear every day.
“do not worry. “I will climb Mt. Wudang alone.”
“Eh?!”
“Are you…alone?”
Everyone’s eyes widened as they heard an unexpected sound. Since there was no one who did not know the relationship between Samcheon and Danwoohyeon, I thought that since it was the place where they were sent, they should go together.
Have you noticed those eyes?
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
“This time… I plan to go alone.”
“Ugh… if you do that….”
“I have no complaints. “He’s not from our side anyway.”
Namgung So-hye didn’t say anything, and it would have been nice for Jang Sam-tae to be able to rest. Only Dan So-mi seemed to think for a moment, but then nodded with a bright smile as if she understood something.
“By the way… It’s quiet.”
At that time, Namgungcheon looked around and had a question. Despite being close to Mt. Wudang, the people of Shaman are nowhere to be seen.
If it had been the same, we should have met at least once somewhere, but it was as if they had hidden away and there was no one in sight.
“From what I heard, there must have been an attack by the Cheonji Church some time ago. We must have lost quite a few disciples… It looks like we have locked the door and are waiting for support from the Murim Alliance.”
“Hehe… what? “The shaman was attacked?”
“Yes, that’s what I heard. “The Murim Alliance has now sent support… and we are trying to hold out at all costs until they arrive here.”
Nangong Cheon frowned.
I couldn’t believe that the shamans of the world were being attacked by people whose roots were not even deep, not by traditional magicians.
Of course, we cannot deny the fact that our power has been weakened due to many events in the past, but it is not easy to understand that we have been pushed back to this level.
“Don’t get involved in unnecessary matters.”
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice sounded cold.
It’s a journey that involves things you already don’t like enough. In this situation, there is no telling what would happen if Namgung-cheon picks up a sword to save the shaman.
This is definitely a problem for Moorim.
Aren’t Namgung-cheon and Sado-hak already left the martial arts world and decided to live in seclusion, so they remain in Honam Danga?
If they attack, the story will be different, but other than that, there is no need to go and draw a sword.
“Hehe… of course.”
Nam Gung-cheon tried to erase his bitter expression.
This is Namgung-cheon, who went into seclusion but wore a mask and helped the Jeongdo Murim from the shadows. Even though they are divided and gnashing their teeth at each other, they are also responsible for failing to fulfill their duties as leaders representing the Jeongdo Murim and disappearing.
More than ten years have passed since then, and Murim is now running without Namgung-cheon.
It is not right for him to come forward here again.
“Put the carriage nearby. “I’ll go alone from now on.”
“Ugh! “Then we’ll take a break and look around!”
At that moment, Jang Sam-tae laughed out loud at Dan Woo-hyeon’s words. I was already excited at the thought that from now on I could rest and be free from his grasp.
In times like this, I could have had a much better time if I hadn’t been falsely accused and had my money stolen by Dan Woo-hyeon, but it was truly unfortunate.
“Can I come here?”
Jang Sam-tae stopped his carriage near Wudang Mountain.
There is no way in, but it is a road that few people seem to come by. Therefore, I could relax comfortably and the chances of getting into a fight with someone would not be that high.
“okay.”
Only then did Dan Woo-hyeon nod his head and get off the carriage.
Soon he went to where the coffin was and took one out.
An absolute expert representing shamans.
This is the coffin of Taegongjin, known as one of the three thousand.
“….”
Dan Woo-hyeon stared at the coffin for a moment.
An indescribable feeling permeated me.
Soon, I started laughing without realizing it.
“Relationships are truly strange.”
It is a word that contains several meanings.
It’s not a relationship that can be called close friends, but that’s not to say it’s not true. However, since it can be said to be Cheolcheon support, how should this be explained?
Some people would say that even sending something like this is a luxury.
But Dan Woo-hyeon put aside other thoughts.
“Then… let’s go.”
Soon, he started moving while carrying the coffin.
The sight of him heading towards the rugged mountain gave me a strangely pitiful feeling. No doubt it was because of that bitter smile at the end.
Jang Sam-tae, who had been staring at the back, suddenly lost sight of Dan Woo-hyeon, so he sat down and let out a long sigh.
“Oh my… I can finally get some rest now.”
“Ahaha. “Thank you for your hard work, uncle.”
“As expected… the only one I worry about is you, Somi. Should I just wait for ten years? When my son grows up…”
“That’s it?”
Dan So-mi, who was smiling for a moment, looked at Jang Sam-tae with a straight face. It feels like my heart is sinking when a child who has always shown a benevolent side makes that kind of expression.
“Stop talking nonsense… Let’s prepare for homelessness, right? “I think I’ll have to stay a little longer.”
At that time, Namgung So-hye sneakily approached and started searching the carriage. We started preparing by pulling out the equipment needed for sleeping on the street one by one.
I don’t know when Dan Woo-hyeon will return.
I thought it would be early, but looking at the sun, it seemed like no matter how fast it came back, it would be evening.
* * *
Chu Jakhan smiled while looking at the group sleeping on the street from afar. The distance is so great that it’s hard to see him clearly, but there’s no doubt that it’s him and his group.
“You seem to have a lot of spare time.”
Chu Zuohan narrowed his eyes.
The face that was praised as beautiful is no longer there. It is a shameful thing for Chu Jak-han, who lived his life proud of being more handsome than any other man in the world.
The reason he moved like this even though there was no order from the cult leader was because his desire for revenge after suffering twice had not gone away.
Chu Zuohan glanced back.
All members of the branch that were active near the shaman are gathered in one place. It is no exaggeration to say that the number is over two hundred, which is overwhelming.
They bowed their heads to Chu Zuohan’s gaze.
“Practice as you preach.”
“yes-!”
Everyone answered and left their seats.
They were so quick on their feet that in the blink of an eye they were out of sight and scattered all over the place, and the sight was so grand that it was awe-inspiring.
It showed that their skills are by no means low.
But is it obvious?
These are the people who were chosen to deal with the shaman, one of the old factions. Each one of them is a top-notch expert, and among them, it is inevitable that they must be those who have accumulated considerable experience.
Therefore, it is something that can never fail.
“Yeah… even though I know I can’t win against you.”
Chu Jak-han put a bitter smile on his lips as he spit it out, as if he was dumbfounded.
But facts are facts.
In a situation where there were subordinates, everyone was defeated by the overwhelming difference in skill, so it cannot be said that the difference between the author and himself is simply a piece of paper.
To begin with, Chu Zuohan was the weakest among the Four Emperors.
His role of attracting people with his excellent charm skills and conspiring to sway his opponents is the reason why he was named one of the Four Emperors.
I had forgotten about it until now.
“But today will be different. “I painfully realized why I was recognized by the religious leader.”
Kill two birds with one stone.
Today, you will get what you want with cruel punishment.
If you use overwhelming numbers and power, you can definitely obtain it, no matter how strong you are or even if it is a divine beast that only appears in legends.
So the smile on his face never went away.
