Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 204
Chapter 203
It was the largest place in the capital city of Dao, located at the entrance to Sichuan Province.
Although there was no waterway flowing around like the Daru in Agyang, it was already a splendid sight that caught the eye just by looking at the flowers blooming everywhere.
Dan Woo-hyeon and Dan So-mi are sitting there.
On the table in front of me were some fragrant teas.
“That’s amazing.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes looked around Daru. That was a good thing, but what was even more surprising was that there was no one inside.
It felt like I had rented the entire Daru.
No, it’s not a feeling, that would be the correct answer.
“I’m glad you like it. “I’m not sure about your tastes.” Jiyak smiled slightly.
Although I met many people while living in Honam, I could not identify Dan So-mi’s father, Dan Woo-hyeon.
It’s because he had an expressionless face every day, but it would be more correct to say that his temperament cannot be determined.
“Wow… there is a place like this in Sacheon.”
Dansomi drank tea that she didn’t even know the taste of. It tasted a bit bland, but since it was expensive, I felt like I had to drink it for now.
“huh! The most famous Daru in Sacheon. “I came especially for Somi.”
“But why isn’t there anyone? “If you’re famous, shouldn’t there be a lot of people?”
Jiyak made a somewhat annoyed expression. Before they came here in the first place, they sent someone to kick out all the guests, and because they spent a lot of money to rent the entire Daru, no one could come in.
That’s why it seems like business isn’t going well.
“Oh… there’s no one today. You have to wait so long that you have to wait in line…”
“I see…”
Dansomi nodded and agreed.
It didn’t seem like Jiyak was lying. Although I was sweating a bit, I thought it was probably because the weather was a little hot today and passed it off.
“But why are you in Sacheon?”
“Uhm… why are you here? “It’s secretly dangerous here.” Jiyak frowned at the pretty Ami and asked.
Sacheon was the territory of political factions, and it was a place where the forces of the old file rooms and eight major families, including Cheongseong and Ami Sacheon Dangmun, were gathered.
If we look at it closely, it is no exaggeration to say that there is probably no safer place in the central plains than Sacheon.
But not now.
The Eight Great Families withdrew from the Murim League and established the Cheondohoe, and Cheongseong and Ami thought it was precious. So, these three places collided whenever the opportunity arose, and unseen horrors abounded everywhere.
Those who follow the nine factions and those who follow the eight major generations.
Their fights never ceased.
“Cruising with Dad! Hehe, let’s go further away!”
“It would be nice…”
Jiyak glanced at Dan Woohyeon and let out an awkward laugh. Just looking at him, still drinking tea without changing his expression, made me feel uncomfortable.
“Ah… but that kid…?”
Dan So-mi glanced to one side with an awkward smile. There, along with the guards from before, I saw a boy kneeling with both hands up and holding a bucket full of water.
My arms were shaking as if they were shaking.
Jiyak grinned.
“are you okay. They say that’s martial arts training. “He does this several times a day.”
“Ugh… it looks difficult.” Dan So-mi nodded, breaking into a cold sweat. No matter how I looked at it, it only seemed like I was being punished. Even the way those people looked at Jiyak was full of fear.
I couldn’t help but wonder what the hell was going on.
“But what happened to Sacheon? “It doesn’t look like you came alone.”
Dan Woohyeon’s gaze met Jiyak’s gaze.
Although he must have known that she was a child, much the same age as Dan So-mi, the way he looked at her was quite cold.
Ugh! Jiyak let out a small moan.
In Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes, it felt like he was reading not only the boy and the guards over there, but also the hidden shadows.
“Well… you know that, mister. “Jiyak didn’t come here to do anything particularly bad.”
“know.”
‘So please stop looking at me like that.’
I wanted to say that, but Jiyak held back.
It was probably more difficult than being with my father or uncle.
“Actually, I’m going on a treasure hunt…”
“Treasure hunt?”
Jiyak hesitated and took something out of his arms and handed it to him. When I slowly unfolded the neatly folded item, a large map appeared.
It was pointing somewhere in Sichuan.
“I found it at my uncle’s house! “There must be something great sleeping there!”
With sparkling eyes, Jiyak taps with both hands! He slapped the table and stood up. Dan Woo-hyeon smiled at that adventurous expression and looked at the map on the table.
It certainly seems to refer to somewhere in Sacheon.
Or, to put it a little more clearly, this sloppily drawn graffiti-like picture looks like it was drawn near the capital city of Sichuan.
“Did you come all the way from Honam to look for this?”
“I too… followed my father’s cruise.”
Jiyak slowly turned his head and muttered.
It is true that he followed in his father’s footsteps. However, seeing that the map was in the hands of this small child, he must have tried to find it himself without telling anyone.
When Dan Woo-hyeon laughed in bewilderment, Ji Yak bowed his head.
“Bah… But if it’s Jiyak, you can probably find it on your own.”
“And then an accident happens.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Jiyak gently.
I felt like I could understand that feeling.
Since the place where I was going on a cruise was Sacheon, I thought I would find it and make my father happy.
The reality is that the head of the family, both past and present, has no choice but to be neglectful of his children.
He seemed like a fairly grown-up child, but now I see that he was clearly a child.
“I’ll help you!”
At that time, Dan So-mi approached and grabbed Ji Yak’s hand. Somi, whose eyes were shining brightly, was full of thoughts of helping.
Even if I tried to stop him, it seemed like he wouldn’t listen.
Dan Woo-hyeon carefully looked at the map.
An incident from the past stimulated my mind strongly.
Dan Woo-hyeon slowly turned his head and looked at the guard captain who was raising his hand.
“There’s someone I need to bring in…
“What are you saying?”
Jang Sam-tae, who had already been called in, tilted his head with an incomprehensible expression. The two children’s heads turned to follow that action.
In particular, Jiyak’s eyes sparkled like stars.
Jang Sam-tae’s bald head stimulated this little boy’s curiosity.
“I asked if it was yours.” Jang Sam-tae was impressed as he looked at Dan Woo-hyeon, who was suddenly dragged in and was saying something incomprehensible. However, since I still couldn’t remember what I had done wrong, I just looked at the map and thought about it.
Soon, memories of the past came to mind.
“Not like this! It’s true! “Please believe me!” “Is it real?” I shook my head and was shocked.
Then the two children also naturally lowered their heads. The sight of it moving along the bald head was quite comical.
“Then is it from your squadron?”
“no! Really! “It has nothing to do with our study!”
I knew very well that if something happened because of this map, not only the monk but also myself would be devastated.
In fact, because of what happened last time, it was surprising that I was still alive.
“Uh… I don’t know which one it is, but… it was very well made. And it seems like it’s been quite a while?”
Jang Sam-tae looked around at the map.
It is old enough to crumble if you touch it with force. Although the quality of the paper was not good in the first place, the biggest reason was the passage of time.
“I’ve seen quite a few maps, but I’ve never seen one this old. I think it will be enough for two or three hundred years. “Where did you get this?”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan-woo Hyeon with a puzzled expression. Until morning, I left the guest house with the expression that I was just going for a walk, but suddenly I found myself with a child named Jiyak and this valuable-looking map.
I thought that maybe this person was luckier than Dansomi.
“At your uncle’s house…”
“No, how good is your uncle’s house that he keeps it so perfectly?”
“Ah… Haha….”
Jiyak sighed and averted his gaze.
There must be one or two things in that house that are hundreds of years old.
Moreover, I didn’t know how to store it.
The number of people hanging there would not be enough even if you put two fingers together.
“Where do you appear to be pointing?”
“How do I know that?”
Jang Sam-tae opened his eyes wide and asked.
It wasn’t something he created in the first place, and he didn’t even give him time to solve the riddle.
If they needed a brain that would pretend to be kind and give answers, it was right that they should have called Zhuge Un in Honam from the beginning, not Jang Samtae.
“It’s useless…” Jang Sam-tae clenched his fists.
Although it was only for a moment, I really almost lost my mind. If that had happened, my head would have fallen off, so I endured it with extreme patience.
“Big! Then, does Lord Jang know?”
“Well….”
Dan Woo-hyeon just looked at the map.
The shape clearly points to Sacheon. I didn’t know if it was a forest or a mountain, but I couldn’t even figure out what the chaotically drawn things were pointing to or what they were hiding.
at that time.
Sweet-!
“ah?!”
Dansomi reached for the teacup and made a small sound.
I stretched my hand too hard and the tea spilled. It soaked the table in an instant, and before there was any time to do anything about it, it soaked the map.
At that moment, the appearance of the map began to gradually change. A strange pattern appeared at the top of the blackened map, and the map, which had been drawn like graffiti, revealed clear markings as if pointing to something.
“This is…?”
Jang Sam-tae opened his eyes wide.
The first thing I saw was the mark at the top.
It seemed as if it was pointing to some organization, but I had no idea what it was.
It looked like a vicious ghost devouring Asura.
What makes viewers even more shocked is that it was clearly drawn with brush and ink, but as soon as water seeped in, all the lines turned red.
It was so creepy that it gave me goosebumps.
Even the two children who were looking at them turned black and tired.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it quietly and opened his mouth.
“Let me take this.”
