Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 325
Episode 325 The Creation of Heaven and Earth (7)
The night of Songshan Mountain was different from the night of other mountains.
In famous mountains with good energy, there are many Buddhist temples and shrines dedicated to the god of land, but it is rare to find such a pious and elegant place. The cluster of twinkling stars and the clear moonlight, along with the scent of incense and the sound of sutra chanting beneath them, made the energy of Seongsan even more calm.
Seoliang’s eyes, which came out of the Shaolin temple and stood on one of the peaks of Seongsan Mountain, resembled the stars that decorated the night sky.
Even when he was at Shingyo and crossing the central plains, he always looked majestic. With his majestic physique and perfectly trimmed body, he gained everyone’s attention by climbing on a pole horse and overpowering his son-in-law.
It was different now.
‘It’s like a lake.’
I don’t know where the prayer that was boiling violently like a volcano accompanied by an earthquake under reddish dark clouds has gone.
It was like a lake beyond a quiet plain where not a single wind blows. Although it is an endless lake, there is no sign of waves.
It was calm and deep.
And the sight of Geumho lying down next to Seoryang, looking up at the moon, and King Tiger sitting at a considerable distance away, quietly looking at Seoryang, was like a painting.
Yeo Sang-rin, who was quietly watching the scene, walked towards Seo-ryang.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
“It’s late. Why did you come here instead of sleeping?”
“Even if it’s time to sleep, I need to sleep to sleep.”
“That’s right.”
Yeo Sang-rin glanced at Seo-ryang.
“Tomorrow, right?”
“what?”
“This is when Shaolin begins to move.”
“No, Shaolin has already moved.”
“yes?”
“We secretly contacted each secular clan. And to shamans.”
Yeo Sang-rin’s eyes lit up.
“Well, now that the blood pressure has been detoxified, there will be no time to relax. “They would have noticed by now.”
“that’s right.”
“Then Shaolin is coming forward himself?”
“We will have to watch the trend. Of course it won’t be long. Isn’t it the plan that even Cheongseong’s Jang Mun-in was kicked out? “Now that the fence that was woven together under the name of the Old Daemun faction has been torn, there will be chaos in the midfield.”
“I see.”
What came to mind?
Yeosangrin grinned.
“It really took a long time to come here.”
“ok?”
“A lot of things have happened since I left school. “There was a lot of fighting and a battle of wits.”
“What did you do?”
Seo-ryang also chuckled.
“My purpose has always been one. It’s still the same now. “It’s just that in the process of achieving that, all sorts of things happened.”
“Yes.”
“Actually, I’m confused sometimes.”
“What?”
Seo-ryang’s eyes deepened as he looked up at the moon.
“I will kill Lord Uicheon and King Biyo. And you will find freedom. But… there are a lot of people who have relationships with me. “There is also a part of responsibility.”
“….”
“If I were alone, I wouldn’t have brought the situation to this point. No, I couldn’t do it. “I was able to come this far because the strong force called Shingyo supported me.”
“aha? When do you wonder when you will be able to achieve your goal?”
“no.”
A strange bitterness appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
“What can I say… I think this kind of life isn’t that bad.”
“A life like this?”
“I have to fight, fight, and have to worry about unnecessary things, but I still hold hands with my people and live together.”
Yeo Sang-rin smiled.
“You’re not like a small religious leader, but you’re very much like a small religious leader.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. “No matter what, Master So is a person who knows how to take care of his people.”
Xiliang scratched his head.
“It’s not that I know how to take care of it, it’s that I can’t just leave it alone. “It could be crazy.”
“If that was an annoying thing, I wouldn’t have come this far.”
“haha.”
It was a calm laugh.
Somehow, it seemed like it had become much worse than before. Yeo Sang-rin thought it was great to see Seoryang now, so different from the past.
“Still, are you going to run out? “To achieve the goal.”
“That’s right. The carriage is already rolling. And it’s just a little confusing because I want that too.”
“Then that’s it. “I will help you as much as I receive, so go wild.”
“I didn’t give you anything?”
“The person who originally received it knows better.”
“Is that so?”
“And I think you’re forgetting, but you know we formed an alliance, right?”
“know.”
“We will do well only if the leader of the school does well. Later, when things are much better than now, please come to North Sea. “Please come and cheer up my brother.”
Xu Liang laughed out loud.
“Whether I do well or not, of course I have to go. “Well, I don’t know how much I can cheer you up if I go.”
Yeo Sang-rin also let out a strange laugh.
She laughed for a while and then lowered her head.
“Master Xiao.”
“huh?”
“….”
“what’s the matter?”
Yeo Sang-rin lowered her head.
It looked like he had something to say. The nape of her neck, exposed under the moonlight, seemed to be slightly red.
Seoliang tilted his head.
“What happened….”
“Ta-da!!”
Yeo Sang-rin took out a leather canteen from her arms.
Xiliang opened his eyes wide.
“I thought the reason my stomach was so thick was because I gained weight from eating fried rice, but that wasn’t the case. “Why were you hiding a canteen?”
“You mean a canteen? “This is a cask!”
“A barrel of water?”
For a moment, greed flashed in Seo-ryang’s eyes.
“Hmm, it must not have been easy to find alcohol in Shaolin…” He
seemed like he was about to drool. After drinking red pine and alcohol, I have never tasted it again. He too was often drunk.
“There is no glass. “You just have to share it.”
“Can we share a drink?”
“Has your personality been stolen?”
“Adventure.”
So the two people took turns taking sips of alcohol.
Yeo Sang-rin said with a smile.
“Anyway, it’s going to be fun starting tomorrow. “It might be a little scary.”
“huh?”
“We have to move together with Shaolin. This makes me feel quite nervous. He is moving to destroy the vicious Lord Uicheon together with Shaolin, who is said to be the best in the central region! “Isn’t this a completely heroic story?”
Seo-ryang scratched his head as he looked at Yeo Sang-rin, who was laughing.
“sorry.”
“yes? What?”
“I mean… Huh! “I am really me too.”
“What is it?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m so confused, but I always thought I should tell you this first, but then I forgot. “Just wait until this time.”
“to?”
Yeo Sang-rin frowned.
“Is there something else you didn’t tell us?”
“Uh… I guess so. “This is the part where I deserve some criticism.”
“What is it? “Speak quickly.”
Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.
“I’m not moving with Shaolin.”
“…What?”
Yeo Sang-rin’s eyes suddenly bulged.
“sure?”
Xu Liang smiled. It was a smile that was a strange mixture of regret and anticipation.
“Do you remember that we called Bangryeong to cure Shaolin’s addiction?”
“Yes, I know.”
Yeo Sang-rin, who was nodding her head, suddenly opened her mouth.
“no way…?”
“okay.”
Xi Liang turned his gaze to the moon again.
A cold aura covered his smiling face.
“Now that the atmosphere has been heated up, I should go pick the fruit I need to get.”
“I laid all the boards down and now you’re here?!”
“hmm? “Isn’t that enough?”
“yes?!”
“You seem to be misunderstanding something, but I am not the main character in this game.”
“…?!”
“The main characters are Uicheon Maeng, Shaolin, and a shaman. In other words, it is the Uicheon Alliance versus the anti-Uicheon Alliance forces.”
Yeo Sang-rin’s eyes sparkled.
Xu Liang said calmly.
“If you don’t know, you can get in trouble. That’s the same for me, the Minister of Political Affairs, and even the religious leader. But it’s a different story if you know the whole situation.”
“….”
“From the moment I deciphered the blood pressure and the moment Jeongmu Ssangshin was able to move properly, Uicheonmaeng was cornered.”
“Ah…”
That’s right.
The reason why Lord Uicheon has been able to accumulate power until now is because he was able to block his actions with the desires of the people.
He controlled Shaolin and Shaman and polluted the remaining nine factions. He stayed on his knees for decades just for that purpose, and one by one, he attracted small and medium-sized factions to his side.
However, Seoliang appeared and destroyed the foundation of the Uicheon lord.
Now, the power base of Uicheon Lord is weaker than ever. In addition, if Shaolin and shamans move, countless sects that maintained the middle path will also move together.
“The political faction was torn in half. From then on, Lord Uicheon can’t even look at this side.”
“okay.”
Yeo Sang-rin exclaimed.
“Master Xiaojiao hoped for peace in the central plains. But it was for Master Xiao, not for anyone else.”
“that’s right.”
“In other words, there is no need for Master Xiao to take the lead in this game. “I just hope for a peaceful outcome, so there is no need to take the lead.”
“I always think, you’re pretty smart too.”
“To be smart. “I now realize that’s obvious.”
Yeo Sang-rin emptied the bottle as if she was exhausted.
A look of sadness appeared on Seo-ryang’s face. There was quite a bit left, but I drank it all.
“I thought you were moving solely to kill Lord Uicheon.”
“I tried to do that at first. But everything changed after he attacked Hao Mun. “I’m not the type of person to save on delicious food, but I think I should look away now.”
“Then what about the Shingyo forces coming up to Hanam…?”
“I need to stab the iron-blooded asshole.”
“ah!”
“I also wiped out the clan within the leader’s circle. I’ll take care of it, but I think it would be good to maintain some balance of power. Of course, I did thorough research in advance. “I only picked the vicious ones and used them.”
“In addition, it will give the impression that Lord Sogyo will unconditionally participate in this game.”
“yes.”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
“The leader has probably noticed by now. “What I want is not Shinkyo’s advancement to the midfield, but my own goal.”
“The Iron-Blooded Saints are no fools, so it is clear that they will aim somewhere at this time when the Uicheon Alliance is about to split, right?”
“of course. Lord of the Iron Blood Castle, that man was no ordinary man. “As soon as Shaolin and Shaman move, they will try to bite somewhere.”
Yeo Sang-rin felt a cramp forming in her head.
“It’s a really complicated situation.”
“It’s complicated? Rather easy. If one side falters, it is to our advantage to take advantage of the weakened side and inflict at least one more wound. “It’s natural, right?”
“Of course, it’s not easy to keep that in mind.”
Yeo Sang-rin’s eyes lit up.
“Then the biggest variable in this situation is….”
“Hao Wen.”
“Yes.”
“He will probably move aggressively. “It will be a very difficult fight for Shaolin and Shaman.”
Yeo Sang-rin sighed.
“I feel like I have a hangover already.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, Master Xiao, you are going to fulfill one of your long-cherished wishes tomorrow, right?”
“yes.”
Xu Liang turned his gaze to the sky again.
An unknown emotion appeared in his eyes as he looked at the moon and stars.
“It was so long. “I came this far.”
* * *
Early morning the next day.
“Are you going?”
“exactly.”
Hye-sim personally came out to see him off in front of the mountain gate.
He took the example of the class president.
“Thanks to Seo So-gyo, Shaolin survived. I will never forget this grace.”
Xiliang also took possession of the gun.
“I hope you get what you want.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Hyesim ended her greeting with a low tone of displeasure.
Xu Liang turned around. Behind him, his companions were standing in front of the Salwang Train, their eyes shining.
Xu Liang smiled.
His smile, which was always sincere, was especially bright today.
“Let’s go catch the damn bitch.”
The winter of the second year after my previous life.
Finally, he moved to achieve his long-held wish.
