Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 823

Episode 823. Nowadays, money is power.

the first day of January.

starlight.

Yeosan County.

Gwanghaeru.

Two old men with white beards were sitting opposite each other by the window of Gwanghaeru, drinking.

They are Mu-Young Lee, a ghost with twelve horses, and So-Sang Ha, a Bima from Cheonsan.

Looking at the empty bowl pushed to one side, it was clear that he was drinking after a meal.

It’s like drinking instead of tea.

The two empty their drinking glasses without saying a word, perhaps tired of the repetitive daily routine.

Mooyoung Lee opened his mouth after a while.

“Ha brother. Isn’t it time to decide where to go?”

Hasosang muttered as he put down his drink.

“Take it. Has this older brother turned his heart that way?”

Then Moo-young Lee replied with a self-deprecating smile.

“Since the loss of Jeokwol-nim, only we have been separated from each other. In three years, I think I’ve done all the respect for Jeokwol. If we’re not going to become the Baekdu Demon Army, wouldn’t it be better to put a line over there?”

Both of them were twelve horsemen who served Jeokwol Gongchwisan as their masters.

Naturally, after Gongchwisan disappeared, his position within Myeongwanggyo decreased.

It’s been three years since I took on the dirty work, but no one acknowledged it.

They were exhausted and discouraged, and the Demonic School urged them to join.

If you were under a famous religious leader, there would be no room for reconsideration, but it was different now.

Now that Gongchwi Mountain had disappeared, there was no one to lead the twelve horsemen.

Hasosang shook his head.

Lee Moo-yeong was right when he said that if he was not going to become Baekdu Demon Army, he had to change to the Demonic School.

Lee Moo-young, who was looking at Ha So-sang’s reaction, continued to speak.

“Looking back, the Baekdu demons are now in a mood to give up on the Cheonduma king.”

“Is that true?”

“It is said that no one has succeeded, perhaps because the mother of the eight emperors gave the mantra of the king of Cheondu as a lie. No matter how much sacrifices were made, there was no feeling of progress, so it seemed that half of the beggars had given up.”

“Do you think the famous religious leader taught you the mantra falsely?”

“Who knows. Was it taught falsely or is there some other special condition?”

The two exchanged a cup and discussed their future in Myeongwanggyo.

As the conversation faded, a group of people rushed into the spot.

A cold wind from outside blew through the inside of the spot.

Moo-Young Lee and So-Sang Ha cut off their words and turned their heads toward the entrance.

About a dozen vendors were snooping around the place looking for an empty seat.

The sparsely seated seats were filled with guests.

When someone sat down next to them, Moo-Young Lee and So-Sang Ha naturally shut their mouths.

The spot, which had been quiet due to the conversations of merchants, soon became noisy like a marketplace.

“Haengsoo-nim, have you heard the story of Mt. Cheongseong?”

“I don’t know. We are from Jiangxi. Do you have any knowledge? What happened?”

“ah! yes. I forgot. Namcheon Daehyeop and Do Commander’s army faced each other at Mt. Cheongseong.”

“Why did Namcheon Daehyeop fight against the provincial commander’s army?”

“A disciple of Nakseongmun cursed Myunggyo and fled to Mt. Cheongseong, where Namcheon Daehyeop was located. Namcheon Daehyeop did not look favorably on Myunggyo, so it seems that he protected Nakseongmun’s disciple.”

“Oops! so?”

“Isn’t it a world where swearing at famous religions makes you a traitor unconditionally? Of course, from the Geumuiwi to the provincial commander, they pressured me to submit Nak Seongmun’s disciple.”

“Did Namcheon Daehyup accept that?”

“Isn’t Namcheon Daehyeop originally famous for being a person who bounces when pressed? Moreover, if it is a famous church, there is no way that people who grind their teeth will listen to you.”

“so?”

“It is said that not only the Geumuiwi but also the provincial commander’s army were killed or injured quite a lot.”

“her! That’s great. So, Namcheon Daehyeop must have abandoned the Seokgyeongjang and returned to the forest?”

“That’s a bit odd.”

“Strange?”

“I heard that the Geumuiwi and the provincial commander quietly withdrew from Mt. Cheongseong?”

“Namcheon Daehyeop did not run away to the mountain, but the Geumuiwi and the provincial commander resigned? Do you think that makes sense? You must have heard it wrong.”

“no. Where are you getting it wrong? Did the Nancheon Great Gorge run away? Or did the Geumuiwi and the provincial commander step down? Isn’t this the only one? They said that the Geumuiwi and the provincial commander had stepped down.”

“If that was really the case, there would have been a back-and-forth. Like we do backdoor deals.”

“Anyway, with that incident, Namcheon Daehyeop emerged as the best in Sichuan and Henan Namjirye. At a young age, I’m already standing shoulder to shoulder with the top 10 masters, so I’ve said it.”

“How old is Namcheon Daehyeop? Are you in your mid-twenties?”

“I know it in the beginning.”

“Huh! It’s surprising to be in the ranks of masters in their early twenties.”

“I think it is true that people should play in big water.”

“Why is that?”

“Isn’t the Namcheon Daehyeop’s activity stage in Namjikryeseong, Henam Province, Sichuan Province? Since we are active in the center of Gangho, we are already hearing the sound of great drummers. No matter how much you fly and jump in Hogwangseong, people in the world won’t talk about it. Isn’t that true just by looking at Myeongwanggyo? We took control of the Huguang Province area, but I haven’t seen anyone in Sichuan Province or Henan Province talking about the Ming Dynasty.”

“That’s because it’s covered by the name of a famous church.”

“If you say that, you shouldn’t even mention the name of Namcheon Daehyeop. By the way, Namcheon Daehyeop rises, but Myeongwanggyo remains silent, doesn’t it?”

“Is that the fault of the region?”

“It seems so to me. If Myeongwanggyo only advances as far as Henan, the world will be infested with stories of Myeongwanggyo. No matter what you do in Hogwangseong, they have no interest.”

“What could it be?”

Lee Moo-young, who was listening to the two people’s story, asked Ha So-sang sneakily.

“What do you think, brother Ha?”

“Are you asking about the younger enemy? Or are you asking why Myeongwanggyo did not become famous?”

“Whether or not Mr. Yeon roasts and stir-fries with the officials has nothing to do with us. Do you think that if the Mingwang Church advances into Henan, it will be able to attract the attention of the world?”

“Don’t we all know that the star is at the very bottom?”

In fact, it was for such a geographical reason that Myeongwanggyo was established in Huguangseong.

The Baekduma soldiers chose Hogwangseong as a place to get away from the attention of famous religions.

As the three grow, the geographical advantage is rather a hindrance.

Lee Moo-young muttered with a face full of displeasure.

“This side is still paying attention to famous schools, but I don’t know why the other side doesn’t want to move.”

Ha So-sang glanced at Lee Moo-yeong.

The side he was talking about was Myeongwangism, and the other side meant Demonicism.

It has been three years since the Myungwanggyo and the Demonic Cults joined hands.

In the meantime, the Ho Kwang Castle was received in the name of the Myeongwang Church, but the Demonic Church refrained from further activities.

“Do you want to line up over there?”

“You have to stand in line alone to get acorns for dog food. I don’t know if it’s with Ha hyung.”

Ha So-sang, who nodded slightly, said as if he had made up his mind.

“What a mess! Let’s line up together. After all, there is no one to guide us on this side, so it’s perfect for us to be abandoned. In that case, it is better to start over there.”

At Ha So-sang’s words, Lee Moo-young’s face widened.

“Good idea. Then I will put a message over there so that I can receive the date of enlistment.”

The two finally decided to join the Demonic Cult and drank until they were drunk.

Yeosan-hyeon.

Gwangmyeong Village.

In front of Gwangmyeongjeong Pavilion.

Early moning.

About a hundred soldiers gathered in the front yard of Gwangmyeongjeong Pavilion.

The masters of Myeongwanggyo walked around avoiding Gwangmyeongjeong Pavilion, perhaps because the warriors gathered at Gwangmyeong Pavilion were burdensome.

After a while, three elderly people walked out of Gwangmyeongjeong Pavilion.

They are Yojingal, the spirit spirit of the gatekeeper of the Mugwanggokseongmun Gate of the Demonic Cult, Geumeonmu the Sura Blood Emperor, the headman of the Madodancheonmun Gate, and Akbul Bangcheongak, one of the members of the Baekdu Demon Army of the Myeongwang Church.

At that moment, about a hundred warriors lined up in the yard bent their backs and shouted loudly.

“I give my heart to the Demonic Cult![把心交給魔]”

“I will die for the Demonic Cult! [会为魔而死].”

Yojingal, who looked at the disciples with happy eyes, said,

“Last night, with the joining of Madododan Astronomy, our power was doubled. If Madododancheonmun kills a thousand, Mugwanggokseongmun will kill ten thousand! Ungwanggokseongmun! Let the world weep in darkness!”

Then, the disciples of Mugwanggokseongmun waved their fists in the air and said, ‘Wow!’ he replied.

“Don’t be outdone now,” he shouted.

“He who wants to live must kneel! Since the Dark Dancheonmun has descended, ten thousand demons will bow down!”

“Wow!”

The members of Madodont Astronomy shouted cheers as if they were competing.

Akbul Bangcheongak smiled bitterly when the two did not mention Myeongwanggyo as if they had promised.

It feels like Myeong-wang-gyo has become a guest in the heart of Myeong-wang-gyo.

However, Yojingal and Geumeonmu, the masters of the six gates of the Demonic Cult, had the right to do so.

Bang Chun-gak, who had been watching the two of them, spoke cautiously.

“Two minutes, Moon-lord. As I said a moment ago, money is power these days. If you get your hands on the top 10, it’s the same as winning the world. Therefore, it is better to take over the upper side first than the Moorim Bangpa.”

Yojingal looked at Bangcheongak with eyes that looked ridiculous.

“Don’t leave your room.”

“yes.”

“I think you know one thing and don’t know the other two. It makes no sense to put order in terms of force and money. They talk about the top 10 and all, but in the end, isn’t it the sword that brings them to their knees?”

“That is true. I was saying this in the sense that it would be easier to conquer the world if you got your hands on the Ten Commandments.”

Bangcheongak treated Yojingal and Geumeonmu as if they were superiors.

Considering the status of the six gates of the Demonic Cult that have been passed down through the rivers, it was a natural action.

Geum Eon-moo, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, interrupted.

“It seems that Bang Demon-kun doesn’t know our Demonic Cult yet. We have no intention of getting our hands on anything. As you know, it’s the opposite. We are the people who came to change the world. Do you know what I mean?”

“ah! yes. My thoughts were short.”

“no. That was a good idea though. If you tear up the top ten, the world will turn upside down, right?”

Geum-eon-moo stared at him, and Bang Chun-gak smiled awkwardly.

I knew that the Demonic Cult was crazy, but I didn’t expect it to go out like that.

I thought I would conquer the world, but when I open my mouth, I grind and tear it apart.

Geum Eon-mu continued to ask.

“How many teenagers are there in Henan?”

“There are three.”

“Then do this. Madoudancheonmun, Mugwanggokseongmun, and Myeongwanggyo take charge of one by one. The one who gets it the fastest will have He Nam.”

Yojingal nodded.

“I agree.”

Bang Chun-gak asked with an ambiguous face.

“You said you would tear it up, so I’m a bit confused. Are you saying you want to get rid of the upper half?”

Then Yojingal smiled and answered in place of Geumeonmu.

“Heh heh. Bang Ma-kun is unexpectedly naive. We demons also eat food with our mouths and poop with our back holes. As long as it does not go against the rule of three deaths, there is no way to eliminate the upper side. It does not mean that the one who obtains Sangbang first becomes Henan’s leader.”

“ah! You did. I was so ignorant that I didn’t know the deep inner meaning.”

Bangcheongak’s stomach was flattened, but he groaned as if he would give up his liver and gallbladder.

Sichuan Province.

Cheongseongsan.

Seochogwan (西蜀館) in front of the Sanmun Gate of the Qingsheng School.

When the year changed and the sun and the moon came, Namgungcheon returned to the Namgung family.

The life of Yeon Jeok-ha, Namgung-yeon, and the family members of Seokgyeongjang living in the annex was monotonous.

One day, while repeating eating, sleeping, and resting, a heartache called Yeonjeokha separately.

“why?”

“Confucius, your money is running out.”

“How much is left?”

“You should only suck your fingers for five days at the most. Right now, I don’t have money to give to the woman who is helping with postpartum care this month.”

“Whew! shit. Why didn’t you talk about money? Does old Sim have any plans?”

“I came in a hurry as if I was running away from the Savior, so I didn’t bring anything worthwhile. How can I go on a winter hike as I wish?”

Hiking is a green slang word for robbery.

Yeonjeokha had a straight color.

“it’s crazy? If that happens, I will forever say goodbye to Seokgyeongjang. I can’t go back to my normal life. You know?”
