Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 113

Episode 113

Twenty Ghosts (三十鬼).

Sasasak!

The sight of them moving forward through the wind was somehow bizarre. He had a goblin-shaped mask over his face, and the clothes he was wearing were also considered civilian clothes, so it was hard to call them casual clothes.

It seemed like it would be hard to even move with the clothes wrapped around their entire bodies, but they were moving towards somewhere without any problem.

The twenty masked people said nothing.

It’s not like they’re shaking their heads or looking at each other and nodding their heads. Nevertheless, they moved in the same direction without a single mistake, as if they were communicating.

It’s also fast.

The fact that the sound of them stepping on the ground can be heard later means that their movement is faster than the sound of them stepping on the ground.

People who can never be considered ordinary.

It was hard to even imagine how much power it had, seeing as it hadn’t even run out of power even though it had been running for several hours.

The purpose of the twenty ghosts is only one. To faithfully carry out orders received. These are people who have no purpose other than that.

It is unknown what kind of mission they were given, but their steady, unstoppable steps never stopped. Also, their eyes were burning more brightly than ever.

Jang Sam-tae was sitting in the coach seat.

I thought I was free from the life of a coachman, but in the end, I decided not to return home and headed to Hanam again, having to cover a longer distance.

Jang Sam-tae frowned and complained as he sat on the coach seat, which had a back but could be said to be difficult to sit on.

“Why on earth are you going to Hanam?”

“Well, it’s my master’s order, so I have no choice but to go.”

“No, are you okay? “You’re the Sapa guy, right?”

Jang Sam-tae slightly turned the reins he was holding and looked at Kwon Moo-jin. He is definitely a member of the Sa faction, and Hanam is a place that is no different from the sacred place of the faction.

If you go to a place like that, what kind of disaster will happen…

Maybe everyone will come at you with swords.

Just thinking about it made me dizzy.

“It’s been a long time since I left the emperor’s castle.”

“If you step on poop and rub it on the ground, does that mean you didn’t step on poop?” Kwon Moo-jin glanced at Jang Sam-tae in confusion.

Even if I were to make an analogy, it would be…

‘Should I hit him?’

I think it would be fun to throw it out of the wagon. Or tie a rope around its body and make it jump. Either way, I had every intention of picking on this damn demonic bastard.

Have you noticed such an uneasy look?

Jang Sam-tae secretly turned his head and whistled.

Finally, Moojin Kwon sighed and opened his mouth.

“Isn’t that the same for you? “You are not given martial arts skills, but think about who is training you.”

“ok? “Who is this senile old man?”

‘There is no awareness. This human.’

Kwon Moo-jin shook his head.

“That’s stupid… Anyway, if you look at it, you are also part of the Demonic Cult. “From the Demon Cult’s point of view, you are no different from the Demon Emperor’s disciple.”

“Fuhaha! I’m playing. “It can’t be like that, right

?”

“Oh… how pathetic.”

Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat as he saw Kwon Moo-jin sighing for a long time. Looking at that, it doesn’t seem like I’m saying something wrong.

But no matter how much you think about it, it doesn’t make sense, does it?

You didn’t even learn the martial arts of the Demonic Cult, but you were treated like a disciple of an old man who was just giving advice? It was Jang Sam-tae who could not understand the thoughts of the martial people at all.

At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice

was heard from behind.

“It looks like the sun will set soon. Is the village still far away?”

“I think we still have a long way to go. Moreover, the road here is rough, so you can’t go fast.”

Dan Woo-hyeon nodded at Jang Sam-tae’s words.

It’s already been several hours since I rode the carriage. It would have been enough to satisfy my hungry stomach with a simple snack, but the sweet taste made me want to rest in a comfortable place.

However, as Jang Sam-tae said, we were driving slowly because the road was rough, so it seemed inevitable that we would be somewhat late.

Dan Woo-hyeon looked up at the sky.

Because it is a deep mountain path, the sun sets faster than usual.

If I couldn’t make it to the village, I thought it would be better to sleep out around here.

“I’m going to find a place to sleep nearby.”

“yes! All right!”

Jang Sam-tae answered vigorously and slowly stopped the carriage. Even though it wasn’t, it was a time when I wanted to relax, so Dan Woo-hyeon’s words were like sweet honey.

He smiled brightly and continued to stretch.

Then, I quickly moved with Kwon Moo-jin and searched the nearby area. Being homeless does not mean you can sleep anywhere. A place where wild animals are unlikely to approach.

A place with few snakes and insects.

A place where the ground is flat and you can sleep comfortably.

You have to choose a place like that. Finding a good place to sleep is Jang Samtae’s specialty. When I was young and wandering around without a home, I slept in a lot of different places.

“Lord Jang! “I think it would be okay here.”

I found a place and found Danwoohyeon. Before I knew it, he came over, looked around, and nodded with a satisfied expression.

Isn’t this one thing awesome? yes?

Jang Sam-tae, who smiled, cleaned up the area around him where he could sleep, gathered firewood, and started a fire. Before we knew it, three or three of us were sitting around and making food using things we had brought with us in advance.

Although it’s a simple snack, it’s better than eating beef jerky.

“Hehe, it’s delicious.”

Jang Sam-tae felt supreme joy as he watched Dan So-mi eat happily. I had a pleasant thought about whether I might have to have a cup of tea later on.

Rustle!

It was about half an hour later that I heard someone approaching.

Sadohak, Namgungcheon, and Danwoohyeon seemed to have sensed it already, but Kwon Moojin, who sensed the presence late, quickly grabbed his sword and aimed at one spot.

‘It’s bloody.’

He looks completely different from his usual Kwon Moo-jin.

Should we say that that is an unmanned person? It’s cool, but it’s really scary.

“Who are you talking about?”

Jang Sam-tae turned his head towards that place without hesitation and asked. Since I knew there were people, it was full of meaning that I should not do anything foolish and come out.

No matter what I did to the people here in the first place, it didn’t seem like it would work.

Suddenly, the bushes parted and a group of people appeared.

As soon as one of them appeared, Kwon Moo-jin’s sword was swung and aimed at the man’s neck.

“Uh… I’m sorry, but there is no hostility.”

The man raised his hands and smiled awkwardly.

Despite his sharp appearance, his tone of voice was also quite soft. Kwon Moo-jin, who had pointed his sword at him, looked at him quietly, then frowned and opened his mouth.

“Majanggang….”

“Haha, do you know me? “It feels like I’ve seen it before somewhere…”

Majang River slowly reached out his hand and removed the blade pointed at the back of his neck. Then, he looked at Kwon Moo-jin with an interesting gaze and his eyes sparkled.

A blade that flew fairly quickly.

Since there was no hostility, I did not try to stop it, but I think it would have been quite a difficult situation if there had been a mixture of life and death. Where did this person actually appear?

Seeing his name being called, it seems like I’ve seen him before…

“Heh, you mean king? “I see you again in a place like this.”

Namgungcheon chuckled.

Majang River, who was staring at that scene, finally remembered. Now that I think about it, I see that they are behaving the same way as the people I saw in the guesthouse.

No matter how bad your memory is, there’s no way you wouldn’t recognize the people wearing those masks.

then?

I looked around and saw it.

A small child named Dansomi.

There was a man next to her, and seeing them clinging to each other made me think that he was the child’s father.

Ma Jang-gang grinned.

“It’s called the Majang River. I was looking for a place to sleep on the street and was drawn to a delicious smell. “If it’s okay, can we join you?”

As he said those words, Majanggang looked at everyone.

The eyes naturally turn towards the man next to Dansomi.

That makes it clear.

The author is the one leading this group.

“The heaven and earth of the central plain is not my land, so what if someone sits there? If you don’t mind, please sit down.”

“…Ahaha, thank you.”

Ma Jang-gang looked at Dan Yu-hyeon with a strange gaze.

Speaking informally when you first meet?

I was starting to feel a little bad. However, he smiled as he saw Dan So-mi, who was nearby, nodding. The bad impression I had about Dan Woo-hyeon also seemed to disappear.

“I saw you at the guesthouse last time, but you’re such a cute kid. “Is this your daughter?”

“okay.”

“Hoo. Right. I also had a daughter like this. So, I think I was rude in the guesthouse without realizing it.”

There is no one here who cannot understand what it means.

In the end, the daughter died.

Although it was a disturbing story, everyone present nodded and did not ask whether they had any intention of delving into other people’s lives.

“What are you guys doing too? “Say hello and sit down.”

“Oh, hello? “It’s called hojeong.”

“This is Manho.”

It is none other than Dansomi who stares at those who say hello. Now that I think about it, wasn’t the man called Man-ho the one who shouted loudly in the guesthouse?

Is it because I thought of that?

Dan So-mi hesitated and snuggled into Dan Woo-hyeon’s arms.

Meanwhile, Majang River’s companions sat down around Doran Doran. Jang Sam-tae grumbled at Dan Woo-hyeon’s order to give them food, but even showed generosity by handing them a bunch of food.

“By the way, it is very rare for the King to move directly. Is there something going on?”

Namgungcheon asked what he was most curious about.

For someone who was familiar with the rumors of Majang River, it was quite a bizarre incident. It must have been a daunting situation just to manage the ronin, but I decided that moving on my own meant something big would happen.

“…Do you know the people called the Twenty Ghosts?”

Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak.

I could see them shaking their heads as if they didn’t know either. Not only Jang Sam-tae, but also the late Kwon Moo-jin could not hide their surprise at hearing the name for the first time.

“They are wearing strange clothes and goblin masks. “A few months ago, the bodies of rogues were discovered, and it is said that there were people called twenty-gwis there.”

“Are you simply interfering with the martial arts people’s turmoil?”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and asked.

He seems to think that since he has the nickname of King Nang, he must take care of the nangin. So, I thought it was a story about going out in person to catch those who were causing trouble with the rogues.

The same goes for Namgungcheon and Sadohak.

Otherwise, it was a somewhat strange story that King Nang would move on his own.

“No, no. If there is a conflict, isn’t it right to resolve it on your own? I also think so, but… the bodies of those dead rogues… have turned into wooden teeth…”

Sadohak’s eyes widened at those words.

Even so, some children from the Demonic Cult were attacked by something unknown and their dead bodies turned into wooden ears, so they were investigated.

But I calmed down my surprise.

Tianshan and Anhui are quite far away. Also, it was said that several such corpses were still found in the Jeonseo-gu received from Maqiao just before crossing over to Anhui.

It is impossible unless there is a way for them to get from Tianshan to Anhui in one go. I also wish I could find out a little more information.

“So you’re chasing them?”

“Yes, we succeeded in tracking it down to Anhui, but… “I can’t find any traces of him after that.”

At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon opened his mouth.

“So I guess they thought it was us.”

“Well… you’re wearing a mask.”

Majanggang shrugged his shoulders and smiled awkwardly. However, he had a wary look in his eyes and seemed ready to swing his sword at any moment.

“But no matter how I look at it, you seem far from those guys.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and leaned his back against the tree. He was stroking Dan So-mi’s head with one hand and looking up at the sky. The look in his eyes was somehow not good.

‘Is it a magic ball this time?’
