Episode 861
“As expected. There was! there was!”
Something about pearls.
Sega has built up a large presence in the funeral and brewing industries and has been growing its power in Jinju City for over a thousand years.
This Jinju family is actually much richer than other families.
Therefore, Eon Jeong-moo, who had lived a luxurious life since he was young, grew up taking his life for granted.
If you don’t have rice, shouldn’t you just eat meat?
He was immature, uninterested in the people around him, arrogant, and foolish enough to say things like this.
‘Why does our family have a lot of money, but do we live more simply than other people in the same family?’
My pride was hurt.
With Sega’s money, they can print dozens or even hundreds of golden tiger statues.
These clothes you are wearing can also be changed into something much more flashy.
However, the father, the head of the family, always repeatedly told his son not to say such things and to focus on martial arts.
‘What’s wrong with me? yes? Even my father ignores me!’
Now it seems like even the servants are looking sideways at him.
In fact, he was taking care of himself because of his violent temper, but the crooked son didn’t know that.
That’s why he’s been building up anger and hatred in recent years.
Byeokgwangui. The sun shines brightly.
Because of Jin Cheon-hee!
After being humiliated by him in a bar, those who could be considered close friends began to distance themselves from him.
Also, when it became known that he had been the victim of blood missionary witchcraft at the Yongbong Branch, he was later treated as if he did not exist at all.
As he began to be subtly ostracized at private gatherings of up-and-coming masters known as the Yongbongdan, his anger and hatred gradually built up.
‘Are you saying you don’t want to please me anymore even if I spend money on you?!’
In the meantime, small and medium sized guys would always stand on either side of him and please him.
But that also happens when life is at stake.
When it became known that they had been fooled by the Blood Mission’s witchcraft and attacked the same side, they began to secretly move away from each other.
That wasn’t all.
‘All those damn bastards are clinging to Namgoong Woon!’
A new guy who farts loudly has appeared.
Namgoong Woon.
He was a hypocritical guy. On the outside, he seemed like he didn’t discriminate against people and met them sincerely.
A guy who spends his time drinking with people in his small family.
Everyone fell for that hypocrisy.
In addition, the power of the Namgung family, which is prospering day by day, also played a role.
Eon Jeong-moo somehow felt himself becoming more and more shabby.
After all, isn’t Nam Goong-un also Jin Cheon-hee’s close friend?
It is even said that recently they have been calling him Jin’s younger brother and treating him kindly.
As the news spread, more and more young martial artists began to stay away from Eonjeongmu.
‘Why don’t you acknowledge me!’
How on earth did that guy, Il Gwang, become one of the top ten experts in the world?
I too would like to be a cow owner somewhere!
What’s the difference between that guy and me!
Besides, he hated his family’s martial arts skills.
I hated my family’s witchcraft.
And he wanted to abandon the family he was born into.
The more you learn the dream spirit ghost technique, the more pale your face becomes like a corpse, and the expression on your face disappears.
It had been decades since Eon Jeong-mu had not seen a smile on the face of his father, Eon Kwon.
‘Is that how people live? Who will love me when I look like a corpse?’
His father, Eon-gwon, said that if he mastered the dream-gwiryeonggang si-gong, he would become a Si-hae-seon and become like the person he was when he was alive, but Eon Jeong-mu did not believe it.
Because for hundreds of years, no one has mastered the Dream Spirit Demon Spiritual Formation!
Meanwhile.
He learned one thing.
Right here.
He learned that there was a relic left behind by the founder of the Gae Sect in his family secretariat, and that if he used this, he could achieve greatness in the Dream Soul Ghost River construction at once and reach the current world to become a Shi Hae-seon.
Blood-thin osmotic duct.
But it doesn’t work now.
On the bottom floor, various machinery and gears existed at a standstill. And at the center is a huge bell.
-When a crisis hits the family. Ring the bell. The power of the family will come together and the Dream Ghost Gangsi will be born.
And he is before the servant.
Ring the bell and the power will be mine.
There was an unfounded belief in him.
And he put his hand on the bell.
“Hahaha! die! daylight! “I will become stronger and make you into a bamboo bowl!”
Deeeeenn!
It had the power to destroy his eardrums and shatter his mind.
But the aftermath was more than that.
The sound of the first bell extended from underground to above ground, and everyone who heard it screamed in sudden pain.
* * *
“Keueueuung….”
Bangsun has been a vassal of a family for three generations.
He is said to have inherited the lineage of Bongchu Bangtong, who was famous as Waryong and Bongchu during the Three Kingdoms period, and was from a branch lineage in Banga.
He has been in charge of accounting for the family for generations.
He is now fifty-five years old.
His wife was Jeondae Eon Ga-ju’s cousin.
His position is very important in this country that runs a funeral and brewing business.
So, just like his father, he also got married to someone.
He had one son and three daughters, and they have lived harmoniously without any problems until now.
That doesn’t mean his job is easy.
Today, as I look at the accounting ledger, I think about the empty numbers.
‘Where is the money leaking out? Or did I miscalculate? Should we introduce the double-entry bookkeeping that is used far away at Baeklin Uigak? I heard it was so amazing….’
Daeeeeng.
And then I heard the bell ring.
That fateful sound shook his living body and destroyed his spirit at once.
I don’t remember my daughter’s name.
My wife’s face was blurry.
My son’s crazy behavior was okay now.
Everything falls apart and disappears.
And along with the pain, it felt like all of his life force was being sucked somewhere.
He became a corpse while sitting at his desk.
Daeeeeng.
And the bell rang again.
The scattered mind comes back together.
I remembered my wife nagging me.
I remember my daughter begging me to buy her the new Danghye.
There is a scene where he tries to break the leg of his son, who was carried away from the guest house while smoking, but stops because of his wife.
And then I realize.
ah. I am alive and have become a jiangshi.
Raw blood poured out.
The body had just died, but the blood had not yet rotted and was warm.
It wasn’t just him.
Blood was vomited and screams of pain were heard from all directions.
Daeeeeng.
And then the third bell rang.
It becomes quiet everywhere.
And Bangsun instinctively knew that everyone in his country had become a jiangshi.
* * *
Daesooksu is in charge of the kitchen this time. The head maid, Yomin, who commands the maids. Eon Jin-san, the governor who oversees the major and small affairs of the clan. Doo-kwang, the gardener who grows and trims the plants in the mansion. Eon Jin-gwan, the great lord of Siryeongdae, an elite of the royal family. Eon Do-seon, head of the Gangsi clan, studies Gangsi. Eonmuban, a collateral descendant of the Eon family, is the husband of the maid, Yomin. A faithful watch dog raised by someone. And countless others.
When they all became jiangshi and their spirits stayed in their bodies.
The spirit of Eon Jeong-mu, who committed the crime, was destroyed and then reassembled.
Because he didn’t know why or how this blood-thickness gate worked in the first place.
But now I know.
His reassembled spirit was the original Eonjeongmu, but it was not Eonjeongmu.
He opened his eyes and shed the tears that still remained in his body.
“What did I… do…”
Shedding the last tears that she could no longer shed again.
“Aaaah!”
he shouted.
It was a cry of the soul.
However, it was also a scream that could not be changed.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee’s complexion turned pale after hearing the whole explanation.
“To tell the truth, I didn’t even know this ruins worked like this. Isn’t that true? “It is a place with the history of the original family, but it has never been used before.”
“It’s amazing that you survived this long without ringing the bell.”
Isn’t it the same as giving a child a red button and telling them never to press it?
“Interestingly, the original family has never been in danger of extinction throughout its long history… so it must have been difficult to pass down proper information about these ruins.”
To my surprise, he was smiling.
It was also a smile that only someone who had let go of everything could make.
Eon Ga-ju continued.
“Besides, I actually didn’t know how these ruins moved. Hahaha! Isn’t it funny? “Thanks to this, the original family was wiped out.”
Extinction.
The ruins of a place obviously exist to protect a place, but they ended up killing all the people of that place.
What kind of absurd thing is this!
“Is this Gangho…? Are you saying that this tragedy was prepared by the founder of the faction?”
Jin Cheon-hee could not finish speaking.
To say it was a tragedy is not enough.
How is this any different from a child pressing a nuclear missile button?
It wasn’t even Eong Ga-ju’s own choice.
So Gaju simply couldn’t bear to lose to Jin Cheon-hee, so he touched the family’s taboo.
What Eon Jeong-moo did.
Eon Ga-ju lost everything in an instant.
Family, tradition, and even the mission to pass on martial arts to future generations.
“What… what can I do? This is how it happened. Plus, there’s one good thing about it.”
The corpse laughed.
“When this happened, I automatically realized why this ruin worked. Perhaps it is dependent on this ruin. And in return, I received the knowledge of the ruins.”
The head of the Unkwon patted his head.
“That’s how I was able to make Gwidok Gangsi, Hanbing Gangsi, and Gwisu Gangsi. “How good new knowledge is!”
He is a mad scientist.
Jin Cheon-hee recalled Jo Cheon-gun, whom she had seen at the North Sea Ice Palace in the past.
Even so, this one seemed a bit more moderate.
However, the fact that the village people are dying of vitality does not change.
And the fact that at some point everyone died.
“You’re positive~”
“It’s already happened, so we have to look at it positively. Even though my body is dead, my spirit is still alive. So I’m still alive.”
He became a corpse and became a jiangshi.
Even though he was no longer alive, he was calling himself alive.
“Eon-kwon, head of the family. Are you saying something like that about the thousands of civilians out there? “To think that such cruelty would be tolerated!”
Cheonwoo shouts with eyes full of anger.
“Thousands of jiangshi… about ten thousand to be exact. And don’t misunderstand, I am not a jiangshi created by killing many civilians.”
Just work!
Jin Tianxi, Tianyu, and all of Sima Hyeon were shocked by that shocking number.
How on earth did they make so many jiangshi?
“You don’t mean to say that you paid that number of jiangshi to buy the bodies and make them, right? Such signs have never been identified until now…”
Cheonhee’s piercing question.
But the head of the Eongwon family was still smiling.
“It’s not that difficult. These are the ones that have been kept in the original family for a long time. I’m telling you in case you misunderstand, but Jinju people don’t carelessly harm a corpse once they’ve purchased it. There are some Jiangshi who have been inherited from the 3rd, 4th, or even 20s. Well, this time, it was going to go extinct anyway, so I was able to unpack the storage. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
