Episode 1425. Looks like the wind is blowing quite a bit
Yeon Jeok-ha who was walking aimlessly entered a rather decent-looking guesthouse.
Seeing that there were a lot of empty seats in the restaurant even during dinner time I thought there might be an empty room.
Sure enough?
The owner came out from the checkout counter and groveled as he told me the price of the room.
After paying for two separate rooms I sat down on the window seat.
As soon as Song Yeo-ryang sat down across from him he spoke as if making excuses for the previous situation.
“I’m sorry about earlier. Lord Maeng asked what happened to Hyeonmudae and why he came here alone… I said I brought Daehyeop with me and that’s what happened.”
“What are you sorry for? If you talk about it it can happen. Besides I was the one who dragged you here. “If you’re worried about Hyeonmudae you can go to Hyeongsan.”
“no. The Hyunmudae members are not the first strong team members. it’s okay. Moreover if the Great Fung Association has Chief Feng… it is right for me the great master to be here.”
“Then that’s enough. “Don’t worry about me.”
“yes!”
By the time we finished the conversation dinner was served.
The two began eating the prepared dish in silence.
Yeon Jeok-ha who was drinking tea after eating suddenly asked.
“The Hocheon Chilguns. The way they look at me seems a little strange. Why is that? “Are you still hostile towards me because you kicked out Mugeukmun from Namjirye Fortress?”
“no. Even in Mugeukmun there is no resentment towards Namcheon Daehyup so how could it be possible in Hocheon Alliance?”
“How do you know the inside story of Mugeukmun?”
“I’m a disciple of the Mugeukmun right?”
Then Yeonjeokha looked at Song Yeoryang with new eyes.
I think it is a strange coincidence that the person appointed as a guide in Hyeongsanhyeon was a disciple of Mugeukmun.
“Didn’t you tell me that Mugeukmun got kicked out of Namjikrye Fortress because of me? “I think Munju Janghak must have grumbled quite a bit.”
“Lord Jang Moon handed down the position of lord of the gate to his eldest son ten years ago.”
“If you are the eldest son is it Jang Gyeong-su?”
“Yes he is called Gwangpungdo.”
Song Yeo-ryang was proud when Namcheon Daehyup recognized Munju’s name as if it were his own work.
“I see. “I thought it was because of the disrespectful look in Hocheonchigun’s eyes.”
Emotions are relative.
I was able to read fragments of emotion in the eyes of Hocheonchilgun as he fell in love with me.
“Maybe… no. Rather why did the Pyowangists go to Hyeongnam County?”
Song Yeo-ryang quickly changed his mind.
Yeonjeokha glanced at him and said.
“Do you know where Pluto’s favorite place is?”
“Do they have a favorite place?”
“It’s between the pipe and the temple. To them Dogwan and temples are like treasure troves.”
“ah!”
Only then did Song Yeo-ryang realize what Namcheon Daehyup was talking about.
To perform human sacrifice among monks Taoist monks and monks would be needed.
He must have visited a temple and temple in Hyeongnamhyeon.
“By the way what were you just trying to say? “Speak without hesitation.”
At Yeon Jeok-ha’s urging Song Yeo-ryang reluctantly opened his mouth.
“Hocheonchigun is the living legend of Hocheonmaeng. In martial arts competitions over the past forty years no martial artist has emerged better than Hocheonchigun. “The fact that seven world-class experts appear at the same time is said to be like a miracle.”
“short.”
“For over 40 years the Hocheon Chilgun has maintained his position as the top expert of the Hocheon Alliance. There was a lot of jealous talk about it both inside and outside. They constantly compared the Hocheonchigun and the Namcheon Grand Hyeop. For decades regardless of Hocheonchigun’s will. “It would not be surprising if the Hocheonchigun today considers the Namcheon Daegyo as a bona fide competitor.”
It sounds like a ‘good-natured competitor’ but in reality it is a ‘mountain to overcome’.
Yeon Jeok-ha who had received jealous looks after becoming a general patrol in the green forest quickly understood.
“So you’re saying you’ll want to hang out with me?”
Song Lu-ryang smiled bitterly and nodded at the expression of the cheap Namcheon Grand Hyeop.
“Isn’t it the fate of warriors to want to fight the strong?”
“I wish I had such a pure heart.”
Most of the masters Yeon Jeok-ha met were people who were greedy for fame and fortune.
“Hocheonchilgun will do the same.”
“Well it doesn’t matter. If anyone messes around they should be punished. “Isn’t that right?”
“….”
Song Yeo-ryang was a member of the Hocheon Alliance so he could not bear to say yes.
This is because the target to be hit is Hocheonchilgun.
The next day.
As soon as Yeon Jeok-ha and Song Yeo-ryang finished breakfast they headed straight to Jingnam County.
***
Hyung Nam-hyeon.
Around 10 o’clock in the morning.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Song Yeo-ryang entered Hyeongnam County.
It was late summer but the atmosphere in the village was full of chill.
There was fear and hostility in the eyes of people looking at outsiders.
Yeonjeokha muttered with a bewildered expression on his face.
“The atmosphere is cold. “I think you really dislike outsiders.”
“I will find out.”
Song Yeo-ryang walked quickly toward a nearby street vendor.
“Let’s ask a question.”
“yes? yes….”
Perhaps because of the sword hanging on Song Yeo-ryang’s waist the street vendor was obedient.
“Have no outsiders come here recently? “Some of them must have had something like an eight-legged fairy hanging on a pole.”
“Why are you looking for them?”
The street vendor looked at Song Yeo-ryang with wary eyes.
As Song Yeo-ryang was about to answer about a hundred men and horses came into the village entrance.
Just then the Hocheonmaeng punitive force arrived.
Someone shouted loudly at the head of the punitive force.
“We are the subjugation team of the Hocheon Alliance that has come to subdue the remnants of the Pluto Church! “If you know where the people who hang strange things on poles and commit evil deeds are please tell me!”
The street vendor who had been looking at Song Yeo-ryang and the punitive force alternately ran towards the punitive force.
The street vendor who was chatting for a while pointed his finger at Song Yeo-ryang.
The warrior Ho Cheon-maeng who found Song Yeo-ryang belatedly smiled and bowed silently.
Soon the punitive force rushed south like the wind.
As the dust rose and settled the street vendor returned to his seat and watched Song Yeo-ryang.
Song Yeo-ryang spoke in a calm tone to the street vendor who was at a loss.
“I am Song Yeo-ryang the head of the Hocheonmaeng Hyeonmudae Gangnam Ilgeom. “Tell me also where they have gone.”
“Oh my! I was very rude to you because I didn’t know you were Ho Cheon Maeng. “They went to Sangwonsa Temple.”
“Where is the senator?”
“Go out through the south gate and follow the road for about half a day to reach Mt. Bulam. Sangwonsa Temple is located halfway up Mt. Bulam.”
“Thank you.”
The street vendor added a few words to Song Yeo-ryang who turned around with a greeting.
“Three days ago they dragged away all the women in the village. My daughter was also taken. Great cooperation! Please save my daughter and the village women!”
“The punitive force has arrived so there will be good news.”
Song Yeo-ryang answered without looking back and quickly ran to Yeon Jeok-ha.
“Three days ago he dragged the village women to a place called Sangwonsa Temple in the south.”
“Even women? “It looks like he just decided to leave.”
“That’s right. “I don’t know what you believe and what you do.”
“I guess they made a lot of Twelve Horsemen and gained momentum. “There will be nothing visible now.”
After a while Yeonjeokha went out of the village and practiced Unjongjutsu.
When they were told that they had to go south for half a day they called out clouds.
Soon a white cloud carrying Yeon Jeok-ha and Song Yeo-ryang flew up into the sky.
Hwa Seon-ryong the Great Lord of the Blue Dragon Corps and the Chuhon Sword who was riding at the front glanced back.
Gongsun Tianshu the General Military Commander who was walking alongside him asked.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Song Daju and Namcheon Grand Hyeop. “I didn’t see any horses nearby… I don’t know how we got here.”
“I’ll leave it in the stable. “I wonder if there is any chance of riding a horse in the village.”
“I guess so?”
Hwaseonryong stared straight ahead and spurred his words.
Shin Jung-nak the Geomgun who was riding alongside the Hocheonchigun suddenly raised his head.
A clump of particularly white clouds was flowing quickly high up in the sky.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
As if out of boredom Dogun Deung Muryeong spoke from the side.
Shin Jung-nak responded by pointing to the sky with his eyes.
“Look how windy it is.”
Teng Wulyeong looked up at the sky once but that was all.
Since he was riding his horse anyway he had no way of checking the strength of the wind.
“It’s bland.”
In response to Deng Wulyeong’s words Shin Jung-na no longer mentioned the white cloud.
***
One o’clock (2 hours) ago.
Mt. Bulam.
Sangwon Temple.
Early morning.
An old man came trotting into the front yard of the main hall carrying his coffin on his shoulder.
The Pluto believers only watched the bizarre behavior and no one stopped them.
The old man put down the coffin in the main hall and pulled out the sword from his belt.
A fight began between the old man and about a hundred Pluto believers.
The old man was never in a hurry.
All they did was silently cut down the Pluto Christians who attacked like a farmer harvesting.
In the temple where the sound of sutra chanting was supposed to be soft the sound of blades hitting each other was loud.
Cha cha cha chang!
Five or six fighters fell to the ground with a brief scream.
The fallen warriors were unable to get up again and were convulsing and bleeding.
The number of unmanned people spread out in the front yard is as many as seventy.
The eyes of the old man who cut down about seventy warriors turned to the other warriors.
About 30 warriors took a step back with startled looks on their faces.
When 70% of the believers were defeated in half an hour (one hour) King Janwol’s Four Gentlemen Gu Sacheon stepped forward.
“What are you doing old man!”
The old man covered in blood asked back with a cracked voice.
“Are you a twelve-headed horseman?”
Gu Si Qian looked at the old man with strange eyes.
Seeing him searching for the Ten Two Demons on his own he seemed like a martial arts hero that would be difficult to defeat.
He glanced behind him without realizing it.
King Cheonsan and King Gamro who were watching walked out with reluctant faces and took their seats to the left and right of King Janwol.
Only then did Gu Sichuan who regained his confidence ask back in a crooked manner.
“gaffer! Are you looking for the Twelve Horsemen?”
“Are you the ones who committed the massacre at Hyeongsan Sect ten days ago?”
“Hyeongsan faction? Ah those Taoist bastards. Yeah we had some fun there. why? Did any of the dead Hyeongsan sect masters have any family? “Have you come to us for revenge?”
“Who killed Master Hu Tianmeng that day?”
Then the king of Cheonsan the red-faced demon Yukjagang said teasingly.
“Hocheonmaeng? Oh you bastard who doesn’t even know fractions? He was fooling around trusting his small talent so I gave him some food. I felt very good while cutting it. why? Did he know someone? “I’m sure that guy isn’t in that coffin right?”
Feng Yunbi glared at Yukjagang with bloodshot eyes.
His heart felt so frustrated that his son was harmed by such an idiot.
Poongunbi who lost his senses due to the rising anger roared like a tiger and ran towards Yukjagang.
His Tao flashed without stopping.
The flying dragon ascension dragon martial heaven cloud dragon and wind tiger attacked the twelve horsemen like the turbulent waters of the Yellow River.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
The twelve horsemen were no match for Feng Yun Fei who had been struggling for forty years in Seokgyeongjang.
At the Ascension of the Flying Dragon the sword of the Heavenly Mountain King Red-faced Demon Yukjagang shattered.
Yongmucheonsang cut off the steel fingernails of the king of nectar the demon Jinjuhee.
The one who cut the Dao of King Janwol the Four Gentlemen Gu Sacheon in half was the Cloud Dragon and Wind Lake.
“Ugh!”
The wind and cloud rain attacked the Twelve Horsemen who were staggering back like an angry tiger.
At a desperate moment King Yeomna and King Pagun who had recently become the Ten Head Horsemen caught Pungwoonbi off guard.
Although King Yeomna and King Pagun did not even have proper nicknames yet their superpowers were threatening.
Pungunbi soared into the sky to avoid his surprise attack and sprayed water on the beggars who dared to interfere with his revenge.
Hwii-! Whiing!
Two neatly severed heads flew up.
The three twelve horsemen who saw the river crossing realized that they had met King Yeomra and jumped out.
Lightning struck the heads of the three twelve horsemen who were running away.
It’s a thunderstorm.
Before Yukjagang Jinjuhee Gu Sacheon could even express his thoughts his head was smashed.
A rainstorm fell down on the corpses of the twelve horsemen.
Pungwoonbi who continued to approach Yukjagang’s body to butcher it stopped.
Udduk-duk-duk-duk!
Five corpses were bloating and bending in bizarre directions making ominous noises.
