Episode 357
It wasn’t long before Cheongsang and his party were able to meet Geomhye.
They barely caught their breath when they reached the depths of the forest, a long way from Idongcheon.
Unam, who was wary of the surroundings with sharp eyes, let out a sigh of relief and let everyone know that it was safe.
“Looks like they haven’t caught up yet.”
“Good luck. It looks like they didn’t follow right away.”
“yes. Most of the traces have been erased by the soldiers of the Eunwidan, so it won’t be easy to find.”
“But it must not be delayed. You’ll have to rest for a while and get out of there right away.”
“yes. I will tell everyone that.”
Daegung lowered his head with a guilty expression.
“sorry. It’s just because of me…”
“….”
Cheongsang smiled gently at his weak voice and approached.
“Captain Daegung has done his job well enough. Didn’t you blow your whistle to save everyone in the midst of that danger?”
“…that.”
no.
whistle? If he hadn’t been discovered in the first place, there would have been no reason for the fire.
all because of themselves
I put everyone in danger by not noticing that such a monster was lurking in the main house. However, Daegung couldn’t bear to say those words with his own mouth.
“That’s right, manager. Stop forgetting about it.”
“Oh. It’s a silver guard without a leader, so maybe the Danju wouldn’t have been able to go back as it was?”
“Is that all? If I meet the hwangsin later, I might have to listen to swear words until my ears bleed.”
The warriors of the Eunwidan comforted Daegung and each one trembled.
Then, everyone politely bowed their heads toward the blue statue.
“The Eunwidan will never forget the grace of the shamans Ani Cheongsang and Cheongwu who saved our leader.”
“…”
But the young man shook his head slowly.
“Aren’t we all one family now? Also, since the head of Daegung is the subordinate of Jinmu Sasuk, he is a precious person to our shaman as well.”
“….”
“So, thank you all. For now…”
Cheongsang knelt down in front of the palace archer, raised a seongi, and grabbed his bent arm.
Daegung felt his heart sink more calmly in the refreshing energy.
“It will hurt.”
“…”
Daegung, who knew what the Cheongsang was trying to do, nodded slowly.
“Cheongwoo.”
“yes.”
Even without explanation, Chungwoo rolled up the cloth and bit into Daegung’s mouth.
“Be patient.”
Poududeuk!
The arm, which had been bent against the power of the blue statue, quickly returned to its place.
But the pain was indescribable.
“Gagging…! Ha ha ha…”
The archer, who couldn’t stand it even after asking for the cloth, let out a painful moan with a rough breath.
It looked so painful that even the onlookers squinted their eyes, but they endured it well.
After the treatment, the young man gently wrapped his arms around him and touched them.
The pain gradually fades with the power of pure Seongi, which begins from the source of life.
Seongi sometimes cured diseases and sometimes drove away evil spirits.
The aura of death that was clogged up everywhere the monster named Hanseung passed through faded a little in Cheongsang’s seongi.
“First aid was given, but I don’t know how he will recover. It’s better to close your eyes for a while…”
“No. How can I sleep peacefully?”
At the Daegung’s refusal, Chungsang did not recommend it anymore and smiled warmly while facing him.
A similarly soft smile appeared on Geomhye’s lips as she watched the scene.
Union of Principals.
There have been cases in the past where people came together for a specific purpose.
But never before have we relied on and appreciated each other as we do now.
Jinmu…. He’s a really great sleeper.
Aren’t you a person like a lotus flower?
The flower of harmony is blooming little by little in the muddy water of Jungwon, where we have lived pretending for a long time.
Someday, as time passes, the seeds he sowed will grow and grow, and this huge rotten wetland may be filled with lotuses just like today.
“Old man, what will you do now?”
“Um…”
At Unam’s words, darkness fell again on Geomhye’s happy expression.
Because it was discovered a little too early, it was not possible to fully examine the inside, so the whereabouts of the children could not be found.
However, there is no way to go back to that place like a beehive.
For now, you have no choice but to choose the next best option.
“Let’s go south.”
“If you do, Jinmu dojo?”
“okay. Is there no other way?”
She is right.
They have already left the boundary of Idongcheon and entered the realm of Samdongcheon.
For the purpose of salvation, it is impossible to call the heavenly woomyeong or the right that are waiting outside the realm of the Demonic Cult.
They said that they still couldn’t see the enemy’s pursuit, but for now, they had to avoid the body and save the lifeline of the pursuers.
In other words, he has no choice but to seek help from Jinmu, who created a huge alliance within the Demonic Cult. The next thing to do is to discuss it with him.
“Now hurry up. The road is long and you will have to go as soon as possible.”
“yes.”
As soon as Geomhye’s order was delivered by Unam, the pursuit team hurriedly prepared to move after a short break.
“For now, the Eunwidan will lead the way and lead the way, and the annihilation birds will follow the main unit while guarding the rear.”
As soon as Geomhye’s words were finished, the ranks were organized, and the Eunwidan immediately calculated the fastest route to the main castle of Sadongcheon, where Jinmu would be located.
“I will depart.”
With the order to move, the warriors of the Eunwidan led the way in place of the injured Daegung.
“…!”
Geomhye, who took the first step at the moment, opened her eyes as if tearing.
“Upper Danger!”
Wow!
The leading warriors who turned their heads at Geomhye’s warning exploded along with the forest.
Trees were uprooted and the ground was dug up and pushed away in a hideous way.
“Oh my…”
It wasn’t just the forest that was hurt.
The Eunwidan warriors who kept the lead were nowhere to be seen.
It disappeared as if it had evaporated.
And the person who destroyed the forest appeared in front of them.
“It’s good that you ran away here. It was quite difficult to follow.”
“….”
It was the same appearance as a villager who can be seen anywhere with a stooped waist with a small body.
However, Cheonsoo Cheonan is another nickname for Geomhye.
Her keen sense of not missing even the slightest change in front of her has spoken of the danger.
The breath he exhaled, his eyes that seemed to be drooping in wrinkles, but radiating divine light. A huge sense of intimidation felt from his whole body standing naturally on the ground.
He is strong enough to grab the handle of the sword by himself due to the momentary feeling of tension.
It was clear that the Eunwidan warriors who stood at the forefront disappeared without a trace in front of that mighty power.
It was to the point where even she couldn’t guarantee victory or defeat if she dared to attack.
However, even if they didn’t feel it, it was clear that it was him who blew the forest through, so all the warriors drew their swords and took a vigilant posture.
However, the Great Palace was different.
“…what is this?”
An expression that seemed to be laughing out of dejection or crying like a person who had lost everything.
His eyes stare at the forest that has turned hideous while kneeling.
“Zongcheon… Mukai… Baekso…”
The names leaked out of his mouth like moaning.
These were the names of the members of the Eunwidan who came together.
They were playing pranks while comforting Daegung, who was blaming himself a little while ago.
In an instant, Daegung laughed lowly as if he had lost his mind in front of them, who disappeared without even leaving a corpse behind.
“We should have gone back together… They said that if I died, I would be scolded by Danju. Then what about me? What do I mean…”
The voice of Daegung, who can even feel the sorrow, trembles slightly.
It was in an instant that sadness turned to anger.
His fingers, which are not fully healed and cannot move properly, make ten furrows and grip the soil.
As if he had forgotten that his injured arm was not functioning properly, he bent an iron bar in his back and strutted it.
“This dog’s baby! I will kill you!”
“Cheongsang!”
Just as the demonstration was about to end, Geomhye hurriedly shouted.
However, Cheongsang was already moving ahead.
Fuck!
The capital that accurately hit the back of the archer’s neck.
The protests that could not be let go faltered and lost their strength, and the iron time that was caught did not last long and was stuck to the ground.
Cheongsang, who had stunned Daegung, glared at the old man fiercely and cautiously backed away, and Unam quickly filled his place.
“Oh… why didn’t you let it shoot?”
It was a playful tone, but no one laughed carelessly.
Geomhye fixed a cold gaze on the old man and quickly spread his senses and scanned the surroundings.
does not exist.
only one old man
It was clear that he had been chasing after us, and he even overtook them with his great inaction, so the rear guard hadn’t attached yet.
If so, the answer is one.
You must run away before the rearguard comes.
And someone had to hold the old man from running after him.
“Cheongsang! Unam!”
“…?”
Cheongsang and Unam, who were full of vigilance at Geomhye’s cry, turned their heads.
“Don’t stop and run.”
“…!”
Her tone, which had always been soft, changed. In addition, the expression that had been tinged with warmth was chilly enough to feel the sharp wind of the north wind.
“Old man!”
“Are you worried about me?”
“….”
“I am Geomhye.”
When Geomhye Byeok Un-yeong opened his chest and stood up, a prayer resembling a strong storm spewed out.
“If you guys are not people to worry about, and even if the author is strong enough to surpass me, what good will you be if you stay?”
“…”
“I cannot protect you with a rear guard. go honey You are the driving force that will lead the midfield in the future. Cherish Ming and plan for the future.”
“Old man!”
Cheongsang grabbed Unam’s arm as he shouted again in an earnest tone and shook his head heavily.
Geomhye’s confidently standing fingertips are trembling slightly. it is tense
Old people are that strong.
It was different from when he saved the palace. It’s a situation where everyone could die if she doesn’t sacrifice.
Saying no and helping her would put her in danger, and it was tantamount to blaspheming her name as Jeongmu Chilseong.
I had to back off now.
Cheongsang, who had made up his mind, politely embraced Geomhye.
“…I’ll go first and wait.”
I spat out the words, but I bit my molars to the point where they shattered from uneasiness that could not be erased, and the overlapped fingers dug into the back of my hand.
Geomhye draws her sword.
When the white sword body revealed itself, the world seemed to light up for a moment.
She smiled, revealing her even teeth.
“Go.”
Just one word.
There were no more words.
The surroundings of her were already filled with a huge energy to the extent that the scenery around her was distorted along with the cold chill.
Cheongsang immediately put the longbow on his shoulder and ran.
Unam, who had been biting his lip and thinking over and over again, jumped after him, followed by Chungwoo and other soldiers of the Gabmuban.
only one person Jegalsansan couldn’t take a step.
Helpless.
It was Jegal Sansan who had thought of her as his teacher with all his heart.
He knows that she has confidently prepared for death, but she can’t do anything about it.
What can I be other than a lump of baggage at this moment?
Geomhye smiled and nodded towards Jegal Sansan, perhaps knowing her sorrowful heart.
Her eyes tell her to stop.
Don’t worry about yourself and go live.
Jegalsansan couldn’t hold his rough breath.
However, you cannot shed tears as an ugly disciple who leaves behind a teacher.
In the end, unlike the others, she bowed politely and said goodbye.
Toward his master, whom he may never see again.
“Respect yourselves.”
“…It was fun.”
“…”
“My last disciple.”
Jegal Sansan’s tears flowed down his cheek, soaking his collar and moistening the ground.
like that for a while
Then I ran with my head down. Looking back, I thought my feet wouldn’t fall off.
please.
I hope to see my master again.
