Episode 752
Red flowers bloomed without fail wherever the wine emperor’s martial arts touched.
Flowers made from human corpses.
In that flower, life withered and silver blossomed.
The scent is so sweet and alluring that people go crazy and swing their swords until they die.
And then a new flower blooms again in the dead place.
Zhugelin was once fascinated by that flower and burned his life. But now I have changed my job.
My side job is as a doctor and my main job is as a gardener.
Zhugelin was also good at bonsai. The young tree in his hands instantly transformed into the shape of an old tree that seemed to be over a thousand years old.
Jegalin wanted to create a pretty garden for his disciple by weaving silver circles.
“This time, we want to track down all the blood missionaries in our alliance area and cut off their limbs one by one.”
“Liaoning Province of the Gongsun family. Amifa’s Zhejiang Province….”
“Yes. “It would be convenient if the blood missionaries were expelled from the two regions.”
“It’s going to be huge.”
“It might be easier than you think. Everything happens like that. The hardest time is before you break the first shovel. “Once you actually start working on it, isn’t it easy to solve?”
Zhugelin continued.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to take over the areas weakened by the war between the Murim Alliance and the Apostolic Alliance one by one?”
-Hyeollin does not move with just one blood.
This is a story told by powerful veterans.
When he moves, he has to find two targets: a visible target and a hidden target.
When this crazy guy sets fire to someone else’s house, his main goal is to set it on fire to destroy that house, but he also kidnaps a customer who came to drink tea that day and uses it to blackmail Sapa.
“Shandong Province, located between Jiangsu Province and Liaoning Province. I would like to receive the interest in this business as well. And we will also kill all the blood missionaries there.”
Under the plan of heavenly beings.
It should be so.
He recited the nine verses of the Zhuge family.
“Except for the idiot.”
“yes. “Except him.”
Even if his teacher gives him a bonsai pot with a thousand-year-old tree, he only grows potato flowers.
Even if we give him land beyond the horizon, he will still be digging in the field to make antibiotics with microorganisms.
Yuho closes one eye. Finally he said.
“It looks like he’s still alive, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“If you’re alive, it means you’re hurt somewhere.”
“what. “Isn’t he always like that?”
That is the only category that Zhugelin expected.
With that martial skill, that wealth, that status, that intelligence, he’s going to hit somewhere.
“I’m dying. “You’re going to punch a hole in my stomach.”
“So you’re having fun.”
“Can gambling with a student’s life really be fun?”
“Isn’t this the gamble that all teachers in Gangho are taking?”
“Yuho, you don’t have any disciples, so you don’t know how I feel.”
Yuho clicked his tongue at those words.
As Jin Tianxi went on adventures and grew, strangely enough, Zhuge Lin’s life also became more lively.
‘All humans die someday. That’s why life becomes vibrant. That’s also fun.’
That’s what humans looked like to beings who live eternal life.
The stronger death becomes, the brighter life becomes.
In Yu Ho’s view, Jin Cheon-hee was the only being who could constantly remind Jegalin of death.
It can make a monster who gave up his own life run towards life.
‘A madman constantly running towards a cliff.’
Rather than breaking this crazy guy’s limbs to prevent him from running any further, didn’t Zhugelin put his legs on the cliff to see how far he could run?
‘Even I am being mobilized.’
You damn human being.
Yuho suddenly remembered the scent of Cheonilchwi.
‘Don’t go out and die.’
* * *
Night falls on the desert.
Jin Cheon-hee stood up while looking at Hwang-gu and Noe-jin who were sleeping.
Kuung?
When the owner moved, both dogs tried to open their eyes.
“are you okay. “I’m sleeping more.”
After saying that and rubbing their necks, they both fall asleep again.
It was a hard day and a deep night.
A night long enough for two spirits to fall into a deep sleep.
Jin Cheon-hee looked at the two with a smile, then took the ice crystal sword and came out.
The appearance of disappearing as if seeping into the darkness resembled Yeo Ha-ryun’s stealth technique.
“The desert is cold at night, after all.”
There was no particular reason why Jin Cheon-hee came out alone.
Because I have to walk through the royal palace at night.
It was obvious that if Hwanggun and Noejin went together, they would definitely get caught, so they quietly hid alone.
The secret attack reached its peak and not a single sound escaped.
Sound, presence, and shape.
I just walked along colorless.
‘The roots of Ha-Ryun’s secret technique must be the Heavenly Demon’s technique.’
Jin Cheon-hee is a Samjae Bobeop.
It sounds crazy, but it’s true. Of course, there is the sentiment of Zhuge Dynasty’s Cheongimiribo here, but the form is close to the Samjaebobeop.
I suddenly wondered if I could now infiltrate the imperial palace of the Fire Empire.
He has achieved great mastery of Hyeonwonjeondanshingong and has advanced to the next level.
Now that I have all the books in the imperial palace archives in my head, I can say that I am now able to understand most of the shapes.
Just by learning the high level of stealth techniques, I was able to achieve something.
‘Excluding Master, wouldn’t only the Three Honorable Emperors be able to stop me with force?’
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
Of course, it is said that there are as many people as sand in the Gangho, and the history of the blood missionary religion and the demonic religion are not properly known, so one must not let down one’s guard.
‘At least the Demonic Cult is mentioned in detail in the novel ‘Supreme Heavenly Demon’, so it can be predicted to some extent, but the history of the Blood Mission is still unclear.’
Plus, Baekcheon-gun’s warning is not a warning.
‘The fact that the heavenly energy is dissipating and they are regaining their original power does this mean that they are perhaps comparable to the Three Lords?’
Nothing is certain. Once you find out Baekcheon-gun’s whereabouts, you may be able to find out.
While thinking about that, Jin Cheon-hee was walking around the royal family like a floating ghost.
Eventually, we passed the royal house and arrived at the place behind it that Prince Miri had told us about.
The rocky mountain behind the royal palace.
In the meantime, I follow the road.
‘This is a place where entry is strictly prohibited, even in the royal palace.’
It is one of those places that outsiders can never go.
When I went inside, I saw a temple carved entirely out of rock.
There was not just one temple.
It looked like a city with countless large and small temples.
And in the center, a huge Buddha statue was sitting in meditation, holding a tombstone in his hand.
‘Wow, I can’t believe people carved this out.’
And there was a tall and huge tree growing as if surrounding the monument and Buddha statue, and it was a tree that Jin Cheon-hee was also familiar with.
‘Ah, it feels similar to the tree I saw in the underground ruins.’
Jin Cheon-hee herself is not a botanist, so she has no way of knowing for sure.
However, he was the one who exterminated the vengeful spirits and burned the tree.
That pitch-black sensation of a curse was something I could never forget.
On the other hand, the tree in front of me was swaying under the moon with its freshly sparkling leaves.
He looked healthy. And…
‘I can’t sense any sign of the vengeful spirit.’
A voice was heard from in front of Jin Cheon-hee.
“I heard that the tree in the ruins was the same tree as the tree here.”
“What do you mean you heard?”
“It happened before I was born. Father, grandfather…. That tree existed no matter how far up we went. “The fact that two trees are connected by roots is just a very old thing in the records.”
Human sacrifice has been the norm in this country for a long time.
It’s just a distant time to even question it.
The prince came forward.
“Are you here?”
The prince stood wearing a golden mask. In his hand was the Stone of the Covenant.
“It’s an old sacred tree. “It’s an old place.”
“yes. “This is the most sacred place in our country, containing the sacred tree and dragon flower tree.”
Holy place!
I knew very well what that word meant to the people of this world.
However, Jin Cheon-hee calmly looks around.
It was almost like I was on a tourist trip.
No, in a way, it was like going sightseeing. Because there are no dead people or ghosts here.
It was just a quiet, foreign sacred place that appeared.
“Our bet will work if we place this Stone of the Covenant in the Table of the Covenant.”
After saying that, he goes deep under the tree.
There, broken stone slabs filled the hole. Like a puzzle, only the pieces held by Jin Cheon-hee and the pieces held by the prince were empty.
The prince put it in first, as if showing off.
Click –
Jin Cheonhee thought as she saw that.
‘Hmm. I thought they’d set a trap, but it was surprising.’
That was the reason I brought the ice crystal sword. Jin Cheon-hee also inserted the stone of the covenant that she had into the stone slab.
Then the stone slab revealed its original appearance perfectly.
There were a lot of things written in unknown letters, and those letters were glowing and whispering in my head.
-The covenant was concluded here.
In a instinct. I realized that it was the voice of a being on the same level as the dragon.
‘As expected, it’s not an ordinary stone slab.’
This gave the prince a reason to eliminate human sacrifice.
Isn’t that when the prince pulled out his sword?
Grumble-
“What do you mean?”
Jin Cheon-hee asked back without pulling out the ice crystal sword.
The prince answered those words.
“I will keep my covenant. A bet is a bet, and since you have brought in the pride of the royal family, you must repay with your life.”
“So?”
The question is why did you sit down with your knife drawn?
The prince laughed at Jin Cheon-hee.
“Of course we need you for that, right?”
“yes?”
“The knowledge you have. “Do you remember when I said it felt like foul play?”
“yes. However, I would have answered why it cannot just be called a foul. “It is possible if we make sufficient use of the kingdom’s ancient ruins.”
“Stop playing with words. If it were only water purification technology, I would have thought the same. But what you have done in the kingdom is too much. “There are too many.”
From suppressing rinderpest to his extraordinary administrative abilities. Inventions.
“…aha?”
“I need to use your knowledge. “To avoid human sacrifice in the future.”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded as if he understood those words.
“Well, I think there’s a lot I can do if I pull my brain out.”
“According to what I personally found, only Jiangsu Province, which you rule, is developing significantly compared to other regions. I don’t know why, but you are either a genius or have the knowledge of a heavenly being. “Am I wrong?”
His voice was somewhat scratchy.
A piece of glass named Jealousy.
He envied Jin Cheon-hee, who could solve everything with just knowledge. So I wanted to make it my own.
“So?”
“I guess I’ll have to capture you and extract some knowledge from you. With that, I will revive the kingdom and bring the arrogant empire and Serim Church to their knees.”
“Hoo? Even if they catch me, what about diplomatic issues?”
“We should treat it as an accidental death and buy time. it’s okay. “If I had your level of knowledge, I wouldn’t be afraid of the Fire Empire either.”
“You overestimate me.”
Jin Cheon-hee answers like that.
However, the prince shook his head.
“Is that really true? “I don’t think so.”
What did he see in Jin Cheon-hee?
After making this choice, his eyes were still full of faith.
“It’s just sacrificing a cow for the greater good.”
“Does ‘small’ here mean my life? Or is it your conscience?”
Sharp words pierce his convictions.
However, he did not bleed or collapse.
“it’s okay. “Because that is the job of politicians.”
Jin Tianxi saw his pride crack.
I thought that if it was a small sacrifice for the greater good, it might be an honor for him.
But on the other hand.
‘You foolish man. You are going to a place from which there is no return.’
If I had known it would be like this, I would have beaten him more at night.
“I guess you may have been letting down your guard and thinking I was weak because I had been giving you the back all this time.”
He put his hands together.
Then, a small light began to emerge from his body like a star.
