Episode 739
Namtz, a huge stone city built next to an oasis.
This, the royal capital of the kingdom, was surprisingly a city with a separate sewer system.
In addition, the population was quite large, so it seemed that at least hundreds of thousands of people were living in this city.
In fact, sewers may have been created out of necessity.
The capital of the Hua Empire is also a large city with hundreds of thousands of people living in it, but its area is several times larger than Namchi here.
Namtz is a big city, but the buildings are tightly packed together. This is why sewage systems must be built.
In addition, as Jin Cheon-hee walked around and checked, it was also equipped with a sewage purification facility.
This was to maintain the water quality of the oasis lake.
“Anyway… there are a lot of poor people.”
Perhaps because the entire Kingdom of Damjin was a country with developed trade, there were many poor people within the royal capital.
In particular, the number of desiccated people was quite noticeable, perhaps because food supply had dropped sharply due to the rinderpest outbreak.
I feel sad to see people like that. And at one point, I saw a monk giving a sermon to people.
‘no way. The Blood Immortal is here….’
I approached with that in mind. And the moment Jin Cheon-hee heard the content of the sermon, she remembered what Yeo Ha-ryun had said.
“Maitreya will soon descend and save us…”
‘Maitreya!’
It is not blood immortality. But what will Maitreya be like?
Can we say that they too are not cults?
Jin Cheon-hee took a deep breath and relieved the heaviness in her heart.
It seemed obvious that the presence of rinderpest was causing various types of confusion throughout the Damjin Kingdom.
Should I just pretend not to know and go back?
Reason whispered that that was also a good method.
Aren’t they people from other countries who don’t even know each other? Isn’t there a need to help others like this?
But suddenly.
Jin Cheon-hee saw black marks under her fingernails. It was a mark from the beginning of the year.
One person died.
A lawmaker died.
He was an idiot who disobeyed the order to just run away when things got difficult since they were out of town anyway.
The vaccine he protected was eventually used to save the village, but his own life was no longer there.
He was a man without a family.
He was from Baekhwanhu and was a bit of an outsider even within the royal family.
This world is always full of death. Someone once said that civilians, government soldiers, and magicians die countless times, and lawmakers are no different.
Know. But for some reason, the imprint of my hand burning the tobacco still remains.
‘first of all. I have to meet Ha-Ryun first.’
Jin Cheon-hee walked briskly.
Jin Cheon-hee soon entered a slightly shady alley.
The sight of poor people sitting idly here and there is noticeable.
If you enter a place like this, it’s normal for local gangsters or sectarians to appear, but no one in particular appeared.
And the place Hwanggu headed to was a fairly prosperous restaurant even in a poor area.
As I went inside, I could see that there were quite a few customers.
‘Is Ha-Ryun here?’
Even though I brought my dog in, people weren’t that interested.
At first, there were about two or three people who turned their heads and were interested in Jin Cheon-hee, Hwang-gu, and Noe-jin who passed through the door.
Most people were wearing shabby, old clothes, and some were not wearing shoes.
The majority are poor.
Most of them eat something similar to porridge.
It seems to be food that is not very expensive and is meant to fill one’s stomach.
While she was thinking that, Hwang-gu grabbed Jin Cheon-hee’s pants and pulled her.
Huh –
it seems like Yeo Ha-ryun’s smell continues towards the cooking area.
Originally, dogs could smell well, but now Hwanggu, who has grown as a spirit creature, has become like a living embodiment of tracking.
‘I don’t know if Yeo Ha-ryun decides to hide the smell from Hwang-gu, but it doesn’t seem necessary now.’
Therefore, Jin Cheon-hee moved toward the galley at Hwang-gu’s urging.
And then.
Suddenly everything changed.
Wow!
Strange sound. And the surrounding scenery also changes.
Originally, it was an indoor space where poor people were eating porridge, but the walls were full of mold and the floor was littered with human bones and chunks of rotten meat.
A dead body, not a person, sits at the table, eating something ravenously.
A disgusting and terrible sight.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Hwanggu inflates his body and barks.
Then the surrounding corpses turn to look this way. Almost like a living person.
Everyone’s skin was peeling off and parts of their faces were rotted or torn.
The corpses are mutilated, but there don’t seem to be any bugs or anything.
It’s more horrifying and bizarre.
It’s not like a jiangshi, it’s something different.
‘Does it look like a ghost from some kind of folk tale? But why is there a poem here? It is said that no one in Kangho has ever seen the ghost of a poet in person….’
There is quite a bit of knowledge gained through encountering witchcraft, but among them, the ghost of a poetry is a common legend.
In reality, there are no zombies, but even children know about zombies.
Although the names, habits, and behavior of fairy tales are quite different depending on the region, they have some things in common.
A corpse rises and attacks a person.
In some ways, it looks like the zombies that were popular on Earth, but the principles and results were completely different.
That’s because evil spirits are attached to dead bodies, or they are driven by the dead’s own grudges and vengeful spirits and try to kill the living!
However, it is only possible in old fairy tales for such poetry to appear naturally.
In the past, Jin Cheon-hee had seen something called Che, which was ambiguous as to whether it was a spirit creature or a ghost.
And I remembered what Baekcheon-gun said.
The boundaries are shaking.
Strange things can move through this world more easily.
Jin Cheonhee gritted her teeth.
No, something suspicious is happening in this Damjin Kingdom as well.
Those blood missionaries may have created it using witchcraft.
When you think about it that far.
Corpses rushed in.
“Kaaaaa!”
“Saaaaa!”
The evil cries of the dead ring out, not the sounds of humans.
A normal person would have been shaken and collapsed just by hearing it.
The demons all rushed towards Jin Cheon-hee. Even amidst the putrid stench, Jin Cheon-hee’s expression was calm.
‘The first move is Myeongjoryeong (鳴鳥鈴).’
For Jin Cheon-hee, if martial arts is calculation, sorcery is sense.
Therefore, only the chosen ones can use magic, and even among those chosen, there are very few who can use magic calmly in this situation.
Most shamans used magic while performing rites on a designated altar.
The young man’s blood responds with mere will.
Old promise.
It calls out to a forgotten ancient being and finally materializes at the fingertips.
Jin Cheon-hee immediately played the stone pipa.
Ding ding ding ding!
As its name suggests, it should be sent to the underworld by making a bell or bell sound.
However, Jin Cheon-hee did it with just the pipa.
Just like the sound of a cow mooing with a lute in the past, just by plucking the strings, a spiritual sound containing the power of magic is generated and spreads in all directions.
As the sound wave shakes the surroundings, the bodies of the ghosts scatter in a circle, as if they had been hit by a shotgun.
In a single blow, half of that large number had their upper bodies disintegrated and fell to the ground.
‘hmm? ‘Is it a bit different from the explanation I saw in the divorce law book?’
It was written that the clinging souls would return to their own paths and disappear, but there was no description of the upper body being crushed and disappearing.
‘No matter how you look at it, isn’t it about 90,000 miles different from the rest of the dead?’
Isn’t this just crushing things instead of giving them rest?
Moreover, the book clearly said that only one person would go back at a time.
I never thought they would ascend to heaven all at once like this.
Jin Tianxi looked down at her hands.
‘Does divorce law have a tendency to be used in a way that reduces its original power? Uh… or did I overdo it… me?’
While using Myeongjoryeong’s techniques, he also used the power of Yin Gong. Is that why this power came about? Or the influence of new blood?
I wanted to do additional research on this part later.
The remaining half of the demons attacked Jin Cheon-hee.
Sigh!
These guys are the ones who resisted the Ming Dynasty.
It’s quite strong!
Hwanggu and Noejin step forward immediately.
Since Noejin is underground, he grabs Hwanggu’s head with his claws and fires lightning.
Crrrrr!
The lightning stretched forward, strangely forming an angelic ring.
Blue sparks erupted everywhere, creating a scene like a scene from mythology.
Wow!
The Hwanggu hit the ghosts that were paralyzed or burned by lightning like a tank and crushed them.
“wow.”
Even though no one taught me, the combined attack of the two spirits was nothing compared to Kang Ho-in’s examination.
Smooth attack!
At that moment, wasn’t a huge number of ghosts pouring in from the entrance as if they had been waiting for them?
‘Wow, what kind of flood is rushing in as if the basement is submerged?’
Jin Cheon-hee issued another order.
phut!
This time, about two guys fall.
It seemed like some stronger guys than before had come in.
‘Then how about this?’
Jin Cheon-hee bounced the stone pipa with all her energy.
Duuuung-!
In one blow, the demon’s ear burst and putrid blood flowed from the eardrum. Nevertheless, he charged in without any trouble.
The place where Jin Cheon-hee was was shattered in all directions with a loud noise.
It has the power to tear apart a stone like tofu!
Jin Cheon-hee muttered calmly after dodging an attack that would have reduced her to a handful of blood just by grazing her.
“Ah, it looks like it’s okay to stir your brain. Um yeah. “This is a similar reaction to Jiangshi.”
Even during this time, the professor remembered all of Shigwi’s actions and planned to create a response manual later.
“Then how about this?”
Jin Cheon-hee held the stone pipa upright and smashed it on the head.
Bah!
The head flies off with the sound of a watermelon breaking. So its movement stops.
“Once the head is completely smashed, it stops moving. “They say you don’t need a brain, but you do need a head… This is interesting.”
That’s a good thing. Since these guys were not living beings and had no reason, there was no need to control their strength.
Jin Cheon-hee continued to crush Shigui’s head, shoulder joints, and arms with the stone pipa to gather reactions.
‘The range of joint use is definitely better than that of Jiangshi.’
Duung~!
Explode the eyeballs of the demons with a sound hole.
Wow!
“Well, there is a temporary paralyzing effect, but seeing as there is no significant difference in behavior, it seems that the main sense organ is not vision. “If it’s not hearing or sight, what’s left is smell?”
As the giant demon swings its arm, Jin Cheon-hee’s body falls backwards.
The tip of my nose passes by just a moment.
It would have been an experience that would have made any ordinary person feel numb, but Jin Cheon-hee’s expression remained calm.
“They say you can discern a person’s scent in this stench. Hmm.”
Wow!
I hit Shigui’s cheek with the soft inside of my palm.
Si-gwi’s jawbone trembled, his nose burst, and nosebleeds came out.
“how is it. Do you know where I am?”
Sigh!
He stabs his nails in the direction where Jin Cheon-hee is. This time, Jin Cheon-hee grabbed his wrist and used the Ewha Graft move.
A little twist.
Wood clatter!
At that moment, my body was twisted and crushed all at once, as if I was wringing out laundry, from my finger bones, wrists, elbows, shoulders, collarbones, and scapulaes.
bang!
When Jin Cheon-hee let go of his hand, Si-gwi’s body flew away.
“that’s interesting. “It may be less accurate, but you can still find me, right?”
Just like that, he dodged each attack, crushed them, and retreated.
“The fact that these guys are gathered together like this means that if you infer it from the inside out, it means that they have something to hide.”
I don’t have time to look them all up.
Jin Cheon-hee struck the ground with a yin ball.
Quaaaang!
