Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 148
Episode 148. Will you become a twelve horseman?
Towards the end of the conversation, Readers and Yang So-ran asked in passing.
“By the way, Dangju-nim, what do you mean by saying that Lee Cho-ryang and Baek-san died and turned into demon dragons and thunder gods?”
The famous religious 12 horsemen have already killed at least a dozen monks.
Because they gained power in such an evil way, they were sensitive to post-mortem changes. It’s because they don’t know what the consequences of what they’ve done to bring the members of the underworld will come.
Musan Nangrang and Lee Mae-hwa sent out a good wind in Gwirang-do, and then said quietly.
“There are strange rumors about the Twelve Horsemen lately. Did you say that the Twelve Horses die and turn into monsters? I thought it was nonsense, but it seems there is something. There will be a meeting of the Baekduma forces soon, so I’ll have to find out more about it then.”
“ah! I heard too. They say it’s a fairly well-known story among merchants.”
“To think such words were circulating in the mouths of merchants who had nothing to do with Moorim. Anything special?”
“Because they are wandering around the world, they must have picked up this and that. You said you were going to meet in Wuhan next month, right? I hope that the truth of the bizarre rumors will be revealed at this meeting.”
“Don’t worry too much. Maybe it’s just the nonsense of village ignoramuses.”
“I think so too.”
A bitter smile appeared on Yang So-ran’s lips.
There are various magical arts in the world.
The reason why the world is afraid of magic gong is that its power is great, but the process of learning it is cruel.
Soaking yourself in the blood of a brother or sister, eating a person’s heart, and so on.
All of the forbidden magic arts must be learned in a terrible way.
I thought the twelve horsemen of the famous church was one of those things.
‘But the dragon and the thunder god…’
I like the word, the dragon and the thunder god, that’s just a monster.
If you think, ‘There might be such a monster inside your body’, your appetite runs away.
After coming out of Dangju’s office, Yang So-ran headed to the inn to pack her travel bag.
As I was busily crossing the garden, I heard the sound of burning gold in the distance.
She turned her head slightly toward Soho.
Cruise ships floating around Soho with colorful lanterns caught my eye.
Watching people who are indulging in entertainment late into the night reminds me of Baeksan.
He was a very strict person to himself.
Among the infertile diners, only he abstained from alcohol and sex.
Do people become stars when they die?
Suddenly, Yang So-ran looked up at the night sky.
‘Did I meet my wife and son as I wished?’
However, the sky reflected in her eyes was only dark.
“ha!”
A sigh escaped Yang So-ran’s mouth.
I would have been more comfortable if I had just heard that he was dead.
It’s uncomfortable to hear that he suddenly turned into a god of thunder, as if something caught on the tip of his stomach.
‘Couldn’t you be suffering until death?’
I hope not.
Even for your own future.
As if to ridicule such an idea, the laughter of a courtesan could be heard from afar.

speech.
The famous Wolha Church.
late night.
Wolha Seonja, the owner of Wolha Church, left his place.
The attendants who had been waiting in the separate quarters quietly followed her.
The gaze of the Wolhaseonja, who was walking leisurely as if taking a walk, turned to the palace in the corner.
The signboard called Janggyeonggak (藏經閣) glistened in the moonlight.
It is a palace that stores the few scriptures of famous religions and the scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism.
As we approached the Janggyeonggak, a faint light streamed out.
The Seonja of the Moon, smiling as if he knew that, entered Janggyeonggak.
A middle-aged woman is engrossed in reading while lighting a lantern.
It was white rice wine.
She was reading the famous religious scriptures without knowing who had entered.
“So, is there any progress?”
Baek Mi-joo was startled by the voice of the Wolhaseonja and stood up from her seat.
“My lord.”
“Okay. Sit back.”
When the Wolhaseonja’s permission was given, Baek Mi-joo sat down again.
“What are you reading right now?”
“It is a covenant.”
“I know you read that a long time ago, right?”
“The more I read, the more new the meaning is.”
“It’s great.”
The moon landing was sincerely admired.
I only thought of her as a greedy woman, but for some reason, she converted to a famous religion.
Others are only interested in the psychic powers of famous religions, but Baek Mi-ju did not. She was sincerely relying on the famous religious doctrine.
No one told me to, but I lived in Janggyeonggak.
When I came here a few months ago, I had no idea that she would change like this.
About a month ago, when I asked her to become the Twelve Horses, she asked for a little time. And I read the sutra at Janggyeonggak without missing a day.
Now it’s to the point of thinking that she knows more about the famous religion than he does.
The Wolhaseonja, who was watching Baek Mi-joo, asked.
“Did you need more time?”
“…”
Baek Mi-joo did not immediately answer.
He is hesitant because he knows the meaning of the Twelve Horses better than anyone else. Killing a monk was not easy for her, who grew up in a sectarian samurai family.
“Did you know that Baekgajang was burned down?”
“yes?”
“Looks like you haven’t heard the news yet. About two months ago, Baekjiajang was burned by bandits. Your father Baek Seung-ho also died that day. After that incident, the head of the Yang family voluntarily closed the door. The Baekgajang and the Yanggajang are gone.”
“…”
Baek Mi-joo closed her eyes for a distant feeling.
Baekjiajang is still a prestigious family in Jeongju, but I thought it would end like that.
“Come to think of it, even a person who is said to be a rival has a very venomous side. To end my mother’s family like that.”
Baek Mi-joo, who had been listening silently, opened her eyes.
The Wolhaseonja looked at Baek Mi-joo with meaningful eyes.
“Are you going to become the Twelve Horsemen? If it’s your belief, Baekduma-kun won’t be difficult.”
“Can you make me a Baekduma-kun?”
“Only the leader of Baekduma can decide. that is the doctrine No one can break the church law.”
“okay.”
Baek Mi-joo muttered with a tired face.
She also knew that the Twelve Horsemen would not be able to compete with a younger enemy.
“Don’t be too disappointed. Since the head teacher is the one who can see right through people, he will surely make you Baekduma-kun. In order to do that, you must first become a twelve horseman
…
It’s because it doesn’t look good to keep inviting the twelve horsemen all over the world to the position of the twelve horsemen.
“I can.”
Finally, Baek Mi-joo made up her mind.
It was the only way to end the tough relationship between the concubine Lee Bu-yong and her son Yeon Jeok-ha.
A bright smile appeared on the moonlighter’s face.
Baek Mi-joo is the most ideal among the warriors he has collected.
There is no icing on the cake as a proper martial artist who has succeeded in the progress of Baekjijang also has sincere faith.
Where is that?
Her twisted desire knows no bounds.
He is such a special talent that he would not be ashamed to present in front of the religious leader.

Jang Ho-jin.
early morning blindness.
I opened the door of the house made of planks and Yeonjeokha came out.
His face darkened as he walked towards the misty riverside.
Baeksan’s death must have remained in a corner of my heart, so I had another nightmare last night.
With each breath, a shady mist entered the body.
Suddenly, the fog that came out of Indusa’s mouth came to mind, and I felt bad.
As I was standing at the port for a while, the day dawned.
The fog in the air dissipated, revealing the surface of the Yangtze River.
On one side, he could see the boat he had been on.
Thinking ‘I have to ride that and kill someone again’ makes my taste bitter.
If you think about it, just like the twelve horsemen killed the monk, he was also killing the twelve horsemen.
One day, Gucheonnodo Shimtong said, ‘To become a master, you must become a human butcher.’
Do you feel comfortable when you become a human butcher?
However, killing the heinous Twelve Horsemen is burdensome.
It is a bit different from Namgungcheon, a sword with a vengeful spirit, Namgungcheon.
Not to mention the heartache blunted by murder.
I don’t think I’ll be able to do this anymore if I meet the twelve horsemen like Baeksan again.
I walked along the riverside with a frustrated heart.
Then, he picked up pebbles and floated the water dispenser.
Pong. Pong. Pong.
With the determination to launch it one more time, I threw stones nonstop.
The things that weighed on my heart fell off one by one.
As I was throwing stones with carelessness, I heard a fresh laugh from behind.
“Whoops! I asked where you went, what are you doing here?”
When I turned around, Jin Seol-ha was approaching.
“I am just letting the stone float on the water. Twelve were successful. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
“It’s gonna be fun. How are you doing?”
Seolha Jin showed interest.
“Well, I need to find a stone that is flat and easy to hold in my hand. Like this.”
Yeonjeokha held out the gravel he was holding in his hand.
“ah! And what?”
“This is how you throw it from as high as possible to the surface of the water.”
Along with the horse, Yeonjeokha threw the stone vigorously.
Pong. Pong. Pong. Pong…
The flat gravel floated and sank thirteen times.
“oh! Isn’t it thirteen times?”
“Iknow, right. I’ve been failing since before, but I’m succeeding in front of Jean Sozer.”
“Are you successful because of me?”
Jin Seol-ha smiled and joked.
He only laughed and didn’t match the rhythm.
“Can I too?”
Chin Seol-ha approached Yeonjeok-ha, as if she was tired of just watching.
“Is that so?”
He seemed to shrug his shoulders.
I didn’t know if Jin Seol-ha would do well, so I answered vaguely.
Namgungcheon, who was looking around the house, asked Namgungyeon.
“It seems like you haven’t seen the enemy since before? Do you know where he went?”
“It was like taking a walk along the river.”
“okay? It seemed to be tossing and turning for a long time at night. You can wake up late.”
“Are you loading?”
“huh. Shim Noh-bae said that he sometimes seems to have nightmares. You must be softer inside than you look. Well, I’ve never met a lot of people.”
“My heart must be heavy about Baeksan.”
“Oops. It makes me feel bad when I think of him too. Will there be more enemies?”
“I will look for it.”
“Will you? If possible, please listen to me. We’re the only ones he can talk to comfortably. There are many things to take care of, but take care of yourself too.”
At Namgungcheon’s words, Namgungyeon nodded.
I knew for the first time today that he had nightmares.
Men and women’s dorms are different, so it’s a part that you won’t know unless you tell them.
‘I should have looked at it a little more…’
Namgung-yeon, who blamed herself, hurriedly went out to the riverside.
It is not that difficult to find a person in a small port like Jang Ho-jin.
She stood on the spot where the boat was moored and looked at the riverside.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Chin Seol-ha were chattering like children and playing water swallows.
Jin Seol-ha’s jingling laughter rang in my ears.
Does Namgungcheon know?
That we aren’t the only ones the enemies can talk about comfortably.
After watching for a long time, Namgoongyeon slowly turned around.
I have to congratulate him on his new friend, but I can’t think of the right words. It feels like my brain has been burned white by being struck by lightning.
