Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 224
Episode 223
Public security in Xi’an seemed perfect on the outside, but in reality it was not. People’s eyes were full of anxiety, and avoiding strangers on the street seemed to have become a daily routine.
Even the way I look at others has changed.
As the name of Mushinism became infamous in the Shaanxi region and the person who could be said to be the culprit was not caught, the views of not only the government officials but also the king and the Murim League were not kind.
Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae were walking down the street with their faces covered with bamboo napkins. People’s gazes rarely go away.
In this situation, it was natural to be wary of those with their faces covered.
“Where are you going?”
Jang Sam-tae tilted his head and asked.
A person who had not come out of his room for several days suddenly came out and said he would look around. From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like they had even decided on a specific destination.
They left the street and moved to a remote place, but Dan Woo-hyeon did not say a word and was just walking in silence. It felt like I was listening to people’s stories.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who had been walking for a while again, finally opened his mouth.
“What do you think is necessary to penetrate into people’s weaknesses?”
“Yeah… money? “Isn’t it the same thing?”
Dan Woo-
hyeon smiled as he continued to walk towards a quiet place. Money was a very important thing to humans.
Considering that there is no one born who does not work to earn money, it was natural.
Dan Woohyun nodded.
“That’s true, but the more people don’t have it, the bigger the effect.”
stopped.
Only then did Jang Sam-tae realize where this was. No matter how large a town or city it is, there are bound to be remote areas.
A place where people who have fallen to the bottom, including beggars, gather together.
These people will do anything for money. It was an abandoned village on the outskirts of Xi’an.
“What does that have to do with coming here?”
“They are the ones who can most easily penetrate into the cracks of your heart and easily manipulate you.”
Jang Sam-tae let out a short groan.
Religion is born through faith. It is a law that requires blind faith and following towards one person.
Only then will you have a platform to attract others. To do this, we must delve into the gaps that people have.
Among them, these are the people who can be most easily appeased with money.
Those are the people gathered in this outlying area.
“It doesn’t seem like the activities of martial arts have yet spread throughout Shaanxi… If we are talking about Chengdu and its surrounding areas, this is probably where it started first.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s guess was quite plausible.
The logic was such that Jang Sam-tae also agreed. Moreover, I remember that the face of the religious leader I saw at first glance did not look like Sadohak or Namgungcheon.
He even looked haggard, as if he had lived through hardships for a long time.
“So you think they’re here?”
“Well, that’s it?”
Dan Woo-hyeon glanced around.
When some people made eye contact, I saw them hastily lowering their heads. A warrior wearing a sword, not anyone else, came.
People living in places like this could have had enough fear. Even otherwise, volcanic factions and police officers were wandering around here and there, and the same was true in this outlying area.
Many were captured and killed.
To them, people living in places like this were no different from insects.
“Then what are you going to do…?”
Jang Sam-tae, who could not help but wonder, looked at Woo-hyeon and asked. Even if Dan Woo-hyeon’s thoughts are the same, the fact that he does not reveal himself easily does not change.
Even if I beat him up, he didn’t seem like he would open his mouth.
If that were the case, we would have caught them already.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon took out the electric bag from his arms.
When they heard a clanging sound, people looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Soon it was poured onto the ground.
Looking at that, Jang Sam-tae was startled.
It’s because I threw away money and nothing else.
Not only Cheoljeon but also the remaining hermits fell to the floor.
“It’s… money!”
“It’s money!”
“Pick it up! “Give it to me!”
People appeared from all over the place. Their eyes had already turned and it seemed like they couldn’t see anything.
“Now…Jangju?!”
The situation was so unbelievable that I thought I was crazy.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who loves money so much that it is no exaggeration to say that he is a money demon, poured all his money into it.
He immediately tried to reach out to pick up even a penny, but Dan Woo-hyeon stopped him from doing so.
In the end, all the money disappeared on the street and people began to run away, probably because they were afraid that it would be stolen.
In an instant, money worth hundreds of nyang disappeared. The money he had earned by catching the bandits was gone in an instant, and Jang Sam-tae was truly driven crazy.
“What are you doing’?!”
Jang Sam-tae shouted in surprise, but Woo-hyeon didn’t even respond. He turned his back, as if he had come with this intention from the beginning.
“Now… Master Jang!”
Jang Sam-tae hurriedly followed Dan Woo-hyeon.
Unable to understand Dan Woo-hyeon’s actions, Jang Sam-tae just had to cry.
“No matter what, what if you give us all the money to stay in our guesthouse!?”
I didn’t even have the money to stay overnight.
A place not too far from the outskirts.
There were many abandoned houses around, and it was a place where people did not even set foot.
It was gloomy, as if a ghost could come out at any moment, and further adding to the atmosphere were two people sitting in front of the abandoned house and lighting a bonfire. Jang Sam-tae looked at the snake being roasted and sighed. Are you coming to Seongdo, not just anywhere else, and end up homeless?
In a place where even the smell of a rotting corpse would not be strange.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have money.
It’s because I gave all my money to strange people. Even if I tried to rent a room in a guesthouse, I didn’t have the money to do so, so I had no choice but to sleep on the street.
However, is it an illusion that Dan Woo-hyeon seems to be enjoying this situation?
He was smiling unconsciously as he looked at the snake being grilled.
Jang Sam-tae scratched his head.
“What’s so funny?”
“Haha, so it wasn’t fun?”
“I’m scared that I’ll be captured by a ghost
. Ugh….”
Dan Woo-hyeon let out a small laugh.
This is because of the look in Jang Sam-tae’s eyes as if he is tired of it.
“Being in a place like this reminds me of old times.”
“You mean long ago?”
“Yes, I lived in a place like this when I was very young. And when I open my eyes again.”
Jang Sam-tae tilted his head as if he had heard something strange. These were stories you could never believe if you were looking at Danwoo Hyeon now.
‘And what happened when I opened my eyes again?’
I didn’t understand that part. Are you saying you woke up from sleep?
“And then I met Somi.”
“Eh? “A place like this?”
This is my first time hearing this story.
Then I realized it again. Dan So-mi is not Dan Woo-hyeon’s biological daughter. It felt like my real father and daughter, so I couldn’t even think about it.
“Can I listen closely?”
“Do you want to hear it?”
“yes!”
Jang Sam-tae nodded with a happy expression.
Who wouldn’t be curious about Dan Woo-hyeon and Dan So-mi’s past?
“When I opened my eyes, all the scenery looked different. “I don’t even know where I am and I don’t know why I’m in this place.”
“Eh?”
“That’s just the way it is.”
Jang Sam-tae kept his mouth shut as his gaze seemed to tell him not to ask too deeply.
I felt like if I dug into something pointless, nothing good would come of it.
“It was when I came out after spending some time in that place that was as cold as ice. “It’s already been over a year.”
‘Did you live in the North Sea?’
Since I didn’t understand the meaning, I had to just guess.
But he nodded in agreement without asking any more questions. Danwoohyeon’s expression right now seemed like he just wanted me to listen without asking anything.
“At that time, I just wanted to die. Originally, I had nothing, but at that time it felt like I had lost everything. Then, it was Dansomi who appeared in front of me.”
Nod- Jang Sam-
tae nodded vigorously.
But I felt like the story was getting a little long. It is so long that it contrasts with Dan Woo-hyeon’s words to always keep the main points brief.
Of course, Jang Sam-tae was not stupid enough to say that.
I just looked at Dan Woohyun’s happy expression.
“I’m not sure if it was because I treated him, but he came to visit me every day and gave me food.”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was talking while rummaging around the campfire, had a soft expression on his face, perhaps because he was remembering that time. Then one day, when he told the story of seeing Dan So-mi beaten up in the street, Jang Sam-tae had to hold his breath because his eyes were like those of an evil spirit.
“Now that child is my life itself. So much so that it cannot be established that it does not exist…”
“That’s right! “There must be Somi by Jangju’s side.”
“That’s why I chose this journey.”
” to?”
It smells like something quite dangerous.
It seemed like he was speaking casually, but it seemed like there was a thorn stuck in his tone that he couldn’t pull out even if he tried to pull it out with his hands.
“Be prepared. I may not be able to protect you this time…”
“Gagging…
It was a sound that came from Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth, not anyone else’s. Therefore, Jang Sam-tae realized how great a risk this journey was.
Now I think I understand why they subdued bandits and taught me martial arts.
Squeezing –
cold sweat flowed down.
Then a thought occurred to me.
Doesn’t saying that it can’t be protected mean that even Danwoohyeon is dangerous?
“Lord Jang… You may also die… You don’t mean to say such absurd things, do you?”
“haha.”
Dan Woo-hyeon did not answer.
It seemed like he was just trying to calm the situation with laughter, but for Jang Sam-tae, that laughter made him even more anxious. I shook my head and tried to shake off what was in my heart.
This is Dan Woo-hyeon, not anyone else.
‘Yes, this person is the strongest!’ There’s no way I’m going to die.
The person who even gave up on Sadohak and Namgungcheon was none other than Dan Woohyeon.
To Jang Sam-tae, he is literally like a god.
It never occurred to me from the beginning that someone like that would suffer.
“A guest has arrived.”
At that time, Danwoohyun, who was rummaging around the campfire, muttered. While he was looking puzzled
at being a guest when there was no one to come,
Jang Sam-tae’s mood caught his attention.
Ssuk ssuk!
I heard someone approaching and eventually appeared in front of me. Wearing white robes, it was seen that they had the word ‘Musin’ embroidered on their chests.
Jang Sam-tae raised his eyes wide.
‘what? ‘Why did these guys show up?’
People who were said to never show up appeared before our eyes. Those who said they couldn’t even find people, whether it was the Guanbu or the Huashan Sect.
“Is it you? “Those who gave to the children of Mushin?”
Dan Woo-hyeon raised his head and looked at the man who spoke, showing a hollow smile.
