<Episode 79 Escape Attempt (1)>
A mark where a line runs through the middle of two teeth vertically.
As Mok Gyeong-un stared at this his mind became complicated.
Apparently this ember clue was related to the day of the apocalypse.
I didn’t think anything more or less about it because it was part of the evidence that magic was actually used but this was completely unexpected.
‘Didn’t you say that the Day of the Great Disaster happened during the Gu Murim era?’
However the presence of a mark on this clue related to the Day of the Catastrophe meant only one thing.
‘…Does this mean that the organization of the mark existed at this time as well?’
Mo Kyung-un’s expression became strange.
He was convinced through various pieces of information he had collected that the organization of the mark was related to his grandfather’s death.
However I had no idea that the organization of signs had existed for such a long time.
What on earth are these people trying to do?
It is related to Baehwagyo and is closely related to Cheonjihoe.
It’s not clear but if the clues are correct it’s also related to the day of the catastrophe in which countless people are said to have died.
‘What is it?’
It is not unusual for an organization to exist for a long time.
However this group is not something everyone knows about and is more of a secret group.
Moreover what this organization has done so far is different from other organizations.
If this group is closely related to the Day of Catastrophe they are the ones behind putting the entire Central Plains into the worst crisis.
‘under.’
Mo Kyung-un’s lips twitched.
The more you know about them the more difficult it is to guess their purpose and scale.
It started with the sole purpose of catching my grandfather’s enemy but the more I dig into it the more I feel like it was just the tip of the iceberg.
‘hmm.’
Neck Tiller stroked his chin.
I thought I just needed to catch the enemy who killed my grandfather but when I found out that the scale behind it was bigger than expected it didn’t seem like a problem that could be approached simply.
‘…There must be a lot of cards.’
When it was thought that the people behind it were martial people it was thought that all that was needed was the desired level of strength.
But things were gradually changing.
If the scale of the attack was something he could not handle alone he also needed to prepare a suit accordingly.
Meanwhile Yukcheonho So Yerin spoke to Mok Gyeongun.
“Confucius Wood. “Did you find anything?”
In response to her question Mok Gyeong-un held up the sign and said with a smile.
“I guess we are connected in many ways.”
“The connection continues?”
“This is a sign.”
“Mark? “That?”
“yes. “It is their mark used by any organization.”
“You mean… this clue is related to the organization of that mark?”
“I’m not sure but the fact that this is a clue that it’s related to the day of catastrophe that So Yukcheonho’s father saved means that the probability of it happening is very high.”
“What on earth does that organization do?”
Mok Gyeong-un answered her question by shrugging his shoulders.
“I’m not sure about that either.”
“You don’t know?”
“yes. “I’m also trying to figure out the organization of this mark.”
With those words Mo Kyung-un glanced at the Seonghwa Spiritual Ju.
She clearly knew something about this organization.
Otherwise there would be no reason for the organization of signs to try to find out anything through the Holy Fire Command Spell including securing the safety of the Baehwa Church members.
Seonghwa Ryeongju who met Mo Kyungyun’s eyes and her eyes made a strange expression.
Then So Ye-rin said to Mok Gyeong-un.
“I’m sorry Mr. Wood. May I ask why you are trying to determine the structure of this mark?”
She too had been investigating for a long time based on clues from the apocalypse to find her father’s enemies.
However she had not figured out anything so far but Mok Kyung-un said that this mark was related to a specific organization so she became suspicious.
Mok Kyung-un answered her question casually.
“I have a very big debt to pay.”
-Shudder!
A strange look appeared in So Ye-rin’s eyes.
It hadn’t been that long since she’d known Mok Kyung-yun but she’d never seen her show any special emotions.
But for the first time she sensed a faint but deadly energy in Mok Gyeong-un’s voice.
This meant only one thing.
‘It’s a hostile relationship.’
If that’s the case it was truly extraordinary.
They met for different purposes but the same goal existed at the intersection.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said to her.
“It seems that So Yukcheonho and I have somewhat similar interests.”
“…It’s a coincidence. “I thought the same thing.”
If the goal was the same there was nothing worse in holding hands than confronting each other.
Then it happened.
-Sureuk!
At that time someone familiar appeared through the warehouse building.
She was none other than Cheongnyeong.
She said as if it was absurd that a young spirit suddenly appeared and approached Mok Gyeong-un.
-What are you doing? rebirth. Why are you still here?
She thought that by now she would have moved to the outside of the outer castle as planned.
However she was nowhere to be seen so he sensed her connection and came to visit Mok Gyeong-un.
She killed King Gyeongchin and captured Geum’s superiors but she’s just messing around here.
-It wasn’t flirting there were some circumstances.
– Whatever the circumstances due to the underground gold prison the military warriors of the demonstration department have already camped at all the gates of the outer castle and the eunuchs of Dongchang Seochang have begun searching inside the castle. If you don’t hurry you really won’t be able to get out.
-…There was a long delay.
-If you know hurry up.
-I guess so.
While answering that question So Ye-rin suddenly frowned and looked towards where Cheongryeong was.
It wasn’t just her.
Nine-blooded Gyoi six-blooded Danbaekha was also looking at him with wary eyes.
-Hoo. Aren’t these feelings out of the ordinary?
Cheongnyeong was surprised.
Their status was infinitely closer to that of a purple spirit and they were hiding their spiritual power as much as possible but these two were able to detect its faint traces with their senses.
Even if you can’t see it it will feel irritating because it stimulates your sixth sense rather than your five senses.
-Sigh!
At that time So Yerin raised the Seoncheonjingi and tried to approach where Cheongnyeong was.
Mok Gyeong-un blocked his path and said.
“I think this is too late.”
“Retarded?”
“Yes contrary to my original plan I met the Six Heavenly Lake and stayed here for too long.”
“Ah… Are you going to leave the imperial palace?”
“As you can see.”
Mo Kyung-un said pointing to the Holy Spirit Spell with a nod.
Her original purpose was to free her from her invincible gold prison.
“You said that So Six Thousand Tigers would remain here right?”
“…yes. “I have work to do.”
“Then I guess we should break up for now. “If we get useful information both internally and externally we can meet later and exchange it.”
So Ye-rin nodded her head at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
There was no need for them to stick together just because they had the same goal.
Rather if each person gathers and compiles information both internally and externally they will be able to get closer to their goal.
“But Confucius Mok. “How do you get out of the imperial palace?”
In response to her question Mok Gyeong-un sat cross-legged and looked at Mara Hyun who was in meditation.
He was slowly opening his eyes as if he had finally come to terms with his realization.
* * *
-Daldaldaldal!
Three large carts filled with leftover food containers were lined up.
In the imperial palace where tens of thousands of people live including the outer palace and the inner palace leftover food left over from the day’s meal is sorted and used as feed for livestock or fertilizer for farmland.
For this purpose a chariot goes out of the palace frequently throughout the day.
There were three courtiers pulling this cart and they were Mok Gyeong-un and Nyeop-chun Mong Mu-yak who were wearing human skin masks that had been prepared in advance.
And next to this cart was the masked Geumwiwi Cheonho Marahyeon as if guarding it.
After going for a while a fork in the road appeared.
-Sigh!
At that time Yukcheonho So Yerin appeared about a dozen yards away and pointed in the direction with her hand.
At her hand signal Mara Hyeon nodded her head and said to Mok Gyeong-un and others who were pulling her cart.
“Take the right road.”
Accordingly they moved the cart to the right.
Their method was like this.
Yukcheonho So Ye-rin took the lead in advance and guided the leftover cart to move in the direction where the search team of Seo-chang an alumnus of the demonstration club was not.
Originally So Ye-rin’s role could be played by Cheongryeong alone but she volunteered to help them escape so they left her alone.
-Daldaldaldaldal!
Among these remnants there were those where the Holy Spirit Spell and the six-blooded Danbaekha of the nine-blood religion were hidden.
‘Whoa.’
‘Damn it.’
They were in a container filled with mixed leftovers and felt like they were dying.
This was because the food mixed together gave off a foul smell like vomit.
However from their perspective as they had endured all kinds of torture and interrogation while imprisoned in the prison this level was not unbearable.
-Daldaldaldaldal!
There was concern in the eyes of So Ye-rin who was guiding us as we moved ahead.
First of all with all five senses and spirits at bay the search team manages to avoid them and soon reaches the middle gate of the outer palace.
Normally I would just pass it over as a leftover cart but the underground gold mine incident had turned the imperial palace upside down so there was a high probability that a search team would be guarding the place.
‘I shouldn’t be caught.’
If it weren’t for Seonghwa Spiritual Lord she would have had an easier time escaping.
However taking her out at such an advanced age that she had not even learned martial arts and had difficulty even walking without her cane required the utmost care.
‘The good news is that there are no Gold Guards in the search team.’
I didn’t know why but I couldn’t see the gold medalists.
If they had been on the search team it would have been quite difficult to help.
Although she did not know the exact reason this happened thanks to her spirit.
Because Cheongryeong who was possessed by King Gyeongchin’s body jumped and committed suicide shouting that the Geumui Committee had driven him to death most of the emergencyly summoned Geumui Committee were detained in the Bigyeong Palace.
The best opportunity to escape before the search began was missed but since Geumuiwi was still missing it could be said to be the last chance to escape.
-Daldaldaldal!
In this way the cart they were pulling reached the middle gate of the outer palace which So Ye-rin the Six Heavenly Hero had been concerned about.
As expected the civil servants and eunuchs of Seochang were encamped in the main gate of the outer palace.
The person who commanded them was Gamseung (監丞) a position immediately below Seochang.
“Stop.”
As Gamseung stopped the cart the masked Cheonho Mara-hyeon of the Geumuiwi came out.
Mara-hyeon said while showing his identity card to Seochang Gamseung.
“This is Cheonho Mara-hyeon of the Geumuiui Committee. It’s a cart with leftovers. The verification was completed before departure and I was ordered to let him out…”
“Please step back. “I will get better.”
“what…..”
“As long as the red signal is spread there must be a verification process for all entry and exit.”
“…All right.”
“Take a look.”
“yes!”
When Seochang Gamseung gave the order the eunuchs of Seochang began to open the lids of the leftover containers on the cart.
Every time the lids were opened one by one there was tension in the eyes of Mara-hyeon Seop-chun and Mong Mu-yak who were wearing human skin masks.
If you get caught here everything will go wrong.
– Sweet! Sweet!
The eunuchs of Xichang who were opening the leftover containers with their noses covered with their sleeves were already opening the leftover containers where the Holy Fire Spirit and Danbaekha were hidden.
When the leftover container was opened it was full of leftover food.
‘Sigh.’
The Holy Spirit who was holding his breath inside was still as if dead.
She was prepared in advance and learned to hold her breath but she was not well trained in martial arts and she was old so it was difficult for her to hold her breath for a long time.
Just like that all the lids were opened.
Seochang’s eunuchs who were observing this soon sent a hand signal to Seochang’s Gamseung indicating that it was okay.
Fortunately it didn’t seem like they were caught.
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem so let’s go through the middle gate….”
“no. “Not yet.”
“…Not yet. What’s the problem?”
“Please lend me your sword.”
Gamseung held out his hand to one of the warriors of the Demonstration Department and spoke and the man pulled a sword from the sheath on his belt and brought it to him.
Marahyun frowned.
‘no way?’
It was a moment.
Seochang’s Gamseung plunged his sword into one of the remaining blades.
-Poof!
‘!?’
Nie Chun’s expression hardened as he watched this right in front of him.
I thought I would get through safely but the worst happened.
Seochang’s Gamseung did not just stab the inside of the leftover container once but stabbed it in various places at random.
-Poof! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
Then
“You saw it right? The warriors of the demonstration club do this one by one for each leftover container just like I did.”
“All right.”
-Sreung! Sreung! Sreung!
The warriors of the demonstration division who understood Seochang Gamseung’s words drew their swords.
Then one or two people were divided into leftover carts.
Meng Wuyak and Nie Chun who were in front of the cart looked puzzled and hesitated for a moment as to what to do.
Now that things are like this do we have to suppress them?
But there are too many numbers to do that.
There are nearly fifty people and if they can’t be taken down at once they will blow the small whistle they wear around their necks to ask for help.
-Poof! Sigh!
But it was no longer a situation to consider that.
I was stabbing the inside of the cup with a sword and if I got stabbed by it not only would I be caught but the Seonghwa Spiritual Lord might even die.
At that time a warrior from the demonstration department tried to take his sword towards the Janbantong where the Holy Spirit Pill was located.
‘shit!’
Mong Wuyak who thought there was nothing he could do eventually stepped forward and tried to take action.
But it was that moment.
-Phew!
At that time a hand suddenly popped out from one of the leftover containers.
“omg! “What…”
The demonstration warrior who was trying to stab the leftover barrel was startled and tried to shout.
But before he could do that his hand stuck out from the leftover food and suddenly snapped its fingers.
– Perfect!
It was scary to snap my fingers like that.
-dump! dump! dump!
The eunuchs of Xochang including the warriors of the demonstration department who were around rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.
At that sight the eyes of Mara Hyeon Meng Wuyak and Nie Chun widened.
I thought they all fainted but there was only one among them who survived.
He was Seochang’s Gamseung who had the deepest skill among them.
“What the hell is this….”
-Park!
“Woo!”
Someone covered his mouth.
“You’ve grown your work. “I wish you had just let it go.”
The person who was covering his mouth and whispering in his ear was none other than Mok Gyeong-un who was wearing a bast mask.
“Eup!”
Seo Chang’s Gam Seung was embarrassed and tried to shake off Mo Gyeong-un’s hand.
But before that
-Wood!
Mok Gyeong-un twisted Gam Seung’s neck.
Gam Seung whose neck was turned in the opposite direction lost his breath.
Mok Gyeong-un who had placed the dead man on the floor looked at his hand sticking out of the leftover container.
The hand with the sharp nails was none other than the hand of a flesh-and-blood person.
Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes were interested as he looked at her protruding hand.
