Episode 9: Goo Yeo (犰狳) (4)
“Ahh!”
“Ma maniiyim!”
The maids cried out in pain.
The veins on their faces were swollen and looked like they were about to burst.
“Yes you bitch!”
The guard Hoang became even more angry and tried to throw a new weapon.
Then Mrs. Seok the godfather hurriedly shouted.
“Hoang! “Stop!”
“yes?”
At that cry Hoing had to stop after only three steps.
She glared at Bangsak who was reciting her spell with angry eyes.
She understood Madam’s weaknesses well.
Lady Seok cared for the maids she brought from her parents’ house and herself the guard warrior as much as the Grand Duke her child.
This was because they were the ones who shared the nostalgia of her hometown.
However if you are swayed in this way you end up giving yourself room to dig in.
“mind….”
-Sigh!
Mrs. Seok raised her hand to her icy face.
She was telling me not to interfere.
She said as Mrs. Seok glared at her Bangsak as if she were going to kill her.
“Sak Bangsa. If you don’t stop right now I promise. “I will use all my connections and power to erase you and Gwiyeonggak from the world.”
These words were sincere.
I touched something that should never have been touched.
How dare she betray herself and make her own people suffer?
Although Bangsak did not show her anger he could not hide his bitterness.
In the end she got what Mok Kyung-un wanted.
[Because I said I would do anything. You can do that much right?]
[……]
This was my first time seeing such a clever guy.
I thought he was a 17-year-old childish Confucius who didn’t know anything about the world but he turned out to be a small devil.
I can’t believe I came up with a number like this.
This made the Great Lady hate herself and her tattoos.
No from Gwiyoung-gak’s point of view her longtime customer had turned into her enemy.
‘ha.’
She sighed deeply.
She was in no position to worry about tattoo angles.
What will happen to her when she finds out?
In order to save just one shikigami she broke several of the rules of the Gwiyeongak so it was no wonder that she was expelled expelled or paid a worse price.
‘Is it time to leave?’
-closely!
Biting her lip Sak stopped reciting her incantation.
And she shouted at Mrs. Seok.
“If you come after me and try to harm me you will lose her two maids.”
‘How dare she!’
Mrs. Seok’s anger rose to the top of her head but she barely managed to suppress it.
She could not easily ignore Sak’s threats because she had seen with her own eyes that Bangsul had a strange power that could threaten people’s lives even from afar.
-Shudder!
Mrs. Seok looked at her somewhere and frowned.
This was because she heard many popular figures in the manor flocking towards Hyehwadang.
Probably the outer party warriors.
Mrs. Seok who was glaring at her finally made up her mind.
“…..Leave before I change my mind. hurry.”
At these words Sak let out a small breath of relief.
“Whoa.”
Her technique that she unfolded is called the Six People Male No and Female Secret Method (Six Person Male Female Female Method) which is a magic technique that can directly harm or manipulate people.
Originally two talismans of six sacrifices part of the subject’s body and when they were born were required.
Only if you have all of these can you kill or do anything else.
The current one was merely a temporary expansion using the power of a few special talismans and special objects called hwanjeong (環靜).
-Rust!
Because the illusion in her arms was shattered she could no longer use her magic.
In the end it was a kind of gamble.
‘Let’s go quickly.’
If I didn’t hurry I might get caught.
* * *
-Kkiik!
The door to the pharmacy was carefully opened and Bangsak came inside.
The woman who was sitting on her bed raised her hand and said casually to her
“Did you do well?”
“…..yes. “I did as I was told.”
After hearing those words Mok Gyeong-un asked again.
“Are you sure that’s the case?”
“yes. Confucius. Confirmed.”
Bangsak slightly frowned at the voice coming from behind her and turned her head.
The person who answered behind her was none other than Howie Gochan.
‘As expected you attached a person.’
Sak clicked her tongue inside her.
Well there was no way such a clever guy wouldn’t be watching.
But she didn’t really care.
She did exactly as she was told for Gu Yeo’s sake.
Sak said looking at the scrawny Gu-yeo who was gasping for breath with his right hand on her neck.
“Now please keep your promise.”
“great. “A promise is a promise.”
Sak still did not relax despite Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
Even though she was younger than her she had no idea where this man would go.
That’s why he couldn’t let down his guard.
Mok Gyeong-un came towards her grabbing her neck.
“ah! “I want to ask you something.”
She was shocked.
It’s not like you changed your mind or you’re trying to say something different right?
Although she had doubts she spoke as quietly as possible.
“…What?”
“In the group called Gwiyeonggak that you said you belong to are there people other than you who treat vengeful spirits as food spirits like this Imamangryang or this demon monk?”
In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s question Sak looked at the demon monk who was a yellow spirit.
No matter how you look at it that spirit was definitely a vengeful spirit belonging to the realm of monsters.
I really don’t understand.
Vengeful spirits are beings that remain in this world with only one grudge.
Therefore it is not possible to use it as a food spirit due to obsession with the grudge and desire to cause harm.
No you can’t become a food spirit.
‘It’s just an object of command.’
How on earth does that man control the imperial spirit as a food spirit?
I just can’t understand it.
Moreover isn’t it radiation?
“You don’t want to talk about it?”
She was startled by Mok Gyeong-un’s urging and quickly answered.
“no. “There are three people including myself who can use shikigami at Gwiyeonggak.”
‘Now there will be two.’
Not only did she break the rules of Gwiyeonggak she made an enemy of Yeonmokgeomjang’s wife so she had no choice but to leave one way or another.
In the worst case scenario they might try to kill him or put a curse on him.
Anyway that wasn’t important right now.
“Not that many.”
“…That’s true at Gwiyeonggak.”
“At Gwiyeonggak? “Then are there other radiation groups?”
Hearing these words Sak internally blamed himself.
She said something that didn’t need to be said.
If she was going to leave Gwaeonggak anyway she would have to bury herself somewhere else which was a mistake.
She gave a vague answer to this.
“Just as there are many sects in the martial arts world other than the Yeonmokgeomjang the same goes for the Bangsa group.”
“I guess that’s what I’m doing.”
“Do you have any questions now?”
“Can I also find out what the other two masters are dealing with?”
“…”
Sak stuck out her tongue wholeheartedly.
This man apparently did not let down his guard against Gwiyeonggak.
He seemed to be trying to contrast himself with the woman who was trying to kill him Mrs. Dae by putting a rift between them.
She glanced at Gu Yu who was being held by Mu Qingyun’s hand and was looking at her pitifully.
After all her worries she finally opened her mouth.
“An instructor named Go who has been assisting the footnotes for a long time treats Gojo the monster of Mt. Nokosan as a food spirit.”
“What kind of power does that Imamangryang have?”
“I don’t know exactly. “I remember what it looks like but it has an eagle-like body with strangely shaped horns.”
“You know but you’re not pretending not to know right?”
“….Shikigami is no different from a secret art for the swordsman so most of them hide what kind of power they have.”
It was true.
Even among the masters they basically do not reveal or ask about each other’s magic or shikigami.
That was their unspoken rule.
Mok Kyung-un nodded and asked.
“What about the other person?”
“It’s a tattoo note. “I don’t even know what kind of significance each note has.”
“You don’t know?”
“yes. “There is a high probability that he has at least the highest level of imaemangyang as a food spirit.”
‘At least he is one of the sixty-four heads of Bangwon so that would be the case.’
Bangwon Sixty Square (方原六十四閣).
There are sixty-four groups located throughout the central plains.
The heads of this place each state were quite renowned figures in the world behind the scenes.
Even though he didn’t reach the so-called pinnacle of the six-way god he was said to be in the middle so his skills must be amazing.
“Is there a rank to imaemangryang? Like a ghost?”
Sak nodded to Mok Gyeong-un’s question.
“yes.”
“What level is the highest level?”
“Imaemangryang can be divided into evil beasts monster beasts ghost beasts demon beasts spirit beasts and divine beasts.”
Gu-yeo the food spirit of Sak is also called an evil beast in the Mountain and Sea Classics.
In fact in the case of Hyeongsu it could be said that among the Imaemangryangs it is somewhat gentle and avoids humans.
However there are some monsters that eat humans.
Therefore it can be said that it is very difficult to subdue or treat monsters as food spirits.
“hmm. “Then the footnote person will deal with spiritual or spiritual numbers.”
Sak shook his head at those words.
“No no. “That’s not it.”
“No?”
“yes. “Spirit beasts and divine beasts are moving disasters themselves so it is almost impossible for even the best angels to use them as food spirits.”
Spiritual beasts and divine beasts were beings called disasters or legends.
Even she had never actually seen these beings.
She only encountered records from the old books and the Mountain and Sea Classics which she studied to learn martial arts.
‘If you look at it like that the six-way god is amazing.’
A six-pointed god who is said to be the pinnacle of radiation.
They were six radiants who received the title of God.
I had heard that two of them subdued spirit beasts into food spirits.
Among the countless emanations only two of them reached that realm so they deserved the title of god.
“Then it must be a beast or a demon beast?”
“Maybe so.”
Even if he was not a spirit beast or higher he could be called the highest level among imaemangryangs even if he was only a demon beast or a demon beast.
These are beings who have great notoriety in a region or whose power is unusual.
Mok Kyung-un twitched his lips and muttered softly.
“If possible I wish it were a demonic beast.”
“yes?”
“Ah…it’s nothing special.”
Sak frowned at her.
What did this guy just say?
Just as she was puzzled her neck gyeong-un handed her Gu Yeo and said
“ruler. “Now go.”
“…”
She took in Gu Yeo’s gasping breath with her trembling eyes.
* * *
After Sak left Gowi Gochan spoke uneasily.
“Confucius…is it okay for me to send you away?”
“You promised to let me go.”
Go Chan grumbled inwardly at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
‘Since when did you become merciful?’
But it didn’t show on his face.
I guess I should say he got used to it a lot.
“Are you okay? “I was worried that the Bangsa woman might hold a grudge and try to take revenge on her…”
“are you okay.”
“Aren’t you worried?”
There was a what if.
Her own eyes could see nothing but from her cursory hearing it seemed as if Mok Kyung-un had threatened the woman with something precious to her.
So she didn’t know if she might have held a grudge against it.
Mok Kyung-un said with a strange smile.
“What Gochan Howie said is correct but it probably won’t happen. “Maybe.”
“…”
Go Chan was puzzled by Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
I don’t know what you believe in and why you are doing this.
* * *
-Purrrrr!
Bangsak wrapped around Guyeo as she gasped for breath.
She was so heartbroken.
She had been with this child for many years and Gu Yeo was her only friend and family to her.
But she was almost dying.
It would not have been surprising if she died immediately as she had exhausted most of her energy.
She might lose her nine yeo if she didn’t somehow fill or restore it.
-Wow!
I was angry because her heart was hurting.
At a young age she was recognized for her outstanding talent to the extent that she was awarded the title of Bangui (方技).
But she had to go through this humiliation.
Her spinach turned her head and looked towards her medicine cabinet with her neck tiller.
‘….For now I’m leaving like this but it won’t be long….’
-It seems like he’s vowing revenge. rebirth.
– Creepy!
Sak who was startled at that moment hurriedly tried to distance himself when he heard her voice coming from behind her.
But then someone wrapped their arms around her head.
-Sigh!
‘this…’
She didn’t know what to do.
The chill she felt behind her sent a chill down her spine.
Even the girl she was holding was scared as if she was shaking as if she were an aspen.
It wasn’t that he was weak it was that he was truly scared.
‘This…this feeling…’
She couldn’t get over this feeling.
The being that deflected her own counterattack and struck the white eye. Before she knew it cold sweat was forming on her forehead.
And she had beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks.
-Gurgling!
‘That doesn’t make sense.’
After coming into direct contact with this being I felt like I knew for sure.
This was absolutely not a green spirit or anything like that.
‘How could this happen…’
I couldn’t believe it.
Can you handle such an evil and creepy being?
-Thrill!
“Huh!”
As her white eyes reacted to the strange sight the pain felt as if it would be torn apart and bloody tears flowed from her.
I could no longer see anything with my white eyes.
-Sneaking!
I could see someone looking down into her black eyes.
‘!!!!!!!’
beautiful face.
In contrast to him her blood-red eyes were filled with madness.
The moment she faced it she couldn’t breathe.
