Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 528
Special Side Story Episode 2
“Big.”
I put down my drink on the table and let out a soft sigh.
He said he brought out his favorite drink.
It was definitely different from ordinary fire alcohol.
The taste and aroma were very unique.
‘I guess there will be different opinions.’
Of course, ordinary people who are not resistant to poison cannot even touch this.
A liquor that the Tang Dynasty’s Germans enjoy drinking.
My tongue tingled and my throat burned, and it was more stimulating than any other alcohol I had ever drunk in my life.
I felt like if I became addicted, I wouldn’t be able to be satisfied with ordinary alcohol.
‘I should avoid drinking frequently.’
Of course, it is not an alcohol that is easily available.
The teacher sitting across from me had a soft smile on his face.
Thunder Emperor Dok Go Woo-jin.
The god of death on the battlefield that all devils fear.
Perhaps because he focused only on taking care of his family after leaving the country, the atmosphere he gave off became quite negative.
It was to the point where I wondered if it was the same person as the man in my memory.
“How are you doing these days?”
“Not much has changed since before you headed to the West.”
“With that said, the manor seems to be lively. “The number of employees has increased, and young customers we’ve never seen before are coming.”
“As a pastime, I occasionally mentor juniors. “There are also people who come to see us after receiving their introduction.”
I burst out laughing inwardly.
Of course, anyone would want to hear the advice of the Emperor, who is famous throughout the Central Plains.
While I didn’t see him, my teacher had become Lee Kang-hak of the second.
‘I thought you were too young to be Master’s guest.’
I knew most of Master’s connections when he was young.
However, the guest who came to the manor today was a face I had never seen before.
A new member who has just joined the club and whose name I have never heard of.
His skills seemed to be outstanding considering his age and origin.
If you are a talented person who has caught the eye of the teacher and not anyone else, then of course you should be that level.
“There was something I wanted to ask you when you came.”
“Please speak.”
“Do you know how Seong is doing these days? “I can’t find out what’s going on.”
“I’m sure you’ll be doing well. “Don’t worry.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t you know? Now, I am a warrior with a good last name. “The time for worry is long past evening.”
“I know it in my head, but my parents’ feelings….”
“Actually, I met Seong-i on the way to Honam.”
“Is that true?”
“yes. “He asked me for advice.”
“advice?”
“I asked how I could be recognized by the great masters of the Four Gods.”
When discussing the main force of the Murim Alliance, there is a name that always appears.
Four Gods.
It was a term referring to the four units that all Baekdo Murim people envied.
Dokgo-seong, who wanted to become a leader in the future, needed to build rapport with the leaders of each unit in advance.
Cheongryongdae, Jujakdae, Baekhodae, and Hyeonmudae.
They were the greatest strength of the Maeng and the basis of the Maengju’s power.
No matter how much Hua Baek and Zhuge Huan pushed him from behind, he would not be able to ascend to the position of Meng Ju if he did not receive their support.
‘Do you think you’ve met Zhongli Shaoyeon by now?’
If you want to win someone’s heart, target the people around the target first.
This was what my second brother-in-law said in my past life.
So I told Dok-go-seong, who was confiding his concerns, one thing.
The sore finger of the Jujakdaeju is none other than Geombong (劍鳳) Jong-ri So-yeon.
[I’m not asking you to bury this incident for Suzakudae’s sake. I don’t even hope that Commander Zhongli returns to his unit safely. I just hope… that she can survive her life.]
Several years ago, when Jong-ri So-yeon’s crimes were revealed and she was transported to Cheon-am-gam-bu (天眼監部).
Hwaseong Sword even bent the beliefs he had maintained his whole life and asked for leniency from me.
I could still vividly recall the memories of that time.
‘She is a woman who has already given up her obsession with power and fame. ‘It won’t be easy to persuade.’
However, if Dok-go-seong really takes Jong-ri So-yeon under his command.
If you succeed in winning her heart.
He would take a big step closer to his goal.
“I’m a little sad. I understand that I cannot show my face often because of my affiliation, but…” “
Please support me. “Isn’t he a child with great intentions?”
“Of course I intend to.”
Let’s have a drink and chat for a while.
Master tilted the bottle to fill the empty glass and asked as if throwing it away.
“Did you enjoy your trip?”
“yes. “A lot of things happened.”
“Did you have any income?”
“There is one piece of good news.”
“Good news?”
“I don’t think the lineage of the Heavenly Thunder Gate will ever be lost in my generation.”
“……what?”
“I think we can solve the problem of White Lightning God Gong.”
The Master’s movements as he raised the glass to his mouth suddenly stopped.
He seemed to be quite surprised as his eyes were so wide as to tear apart.
‘I wanted to see this reaction.’
I smiled contentedly and swallowed the strong drink.
I felt like I was being rewarded for all my hard work.
I could definitely say it.
The fact that my teacher made me look like that was enough to make this journey worth it.
“Explain in detail what you mean.”
“I mean it literally. The biggest problem with Baekrei Shingong is that it cannot be learned unless you are at a certain point. Because the constitution is so rare, it is impossible to find a successor unless heavenly luck arrives.”
[Therefore, the teacher directly intervenes in the student’s use of internal energy and helps him/her to embody the mind law. Until the student is sufficiently proficient in the operation method and has completed a body that can withstand high density of internal energy.]
Baekrei Shingong is a mental method aimed at characterizing the body’s energy, not the quick and efficient accumulation of internal energy.
Because the density of energy accumulated in the Danjeon was high, operating it was inevitably fraught with risk.
In terms of stability, the martial arts that were even worse than magic attacks were white thunder attacks.
What more can I say, since unless you are in a desperate situation, you will die before you can even master the Mind Dharma.
“What would it be like if there was an object that helps the blood vessels endure the dense inner energy?”
“…!”
“You can be happy. “The object disciple saved it.”
A face full of indescribable emotions.
While I was staring at my teacher, who had frozen like a stone statue, I took out the wooden armor from my arms and placed it on the table.
The events in Seojang passed through my mind one by one.
* * *
“…What is this?”
“You’re asking this knowingly.”
“It’s absurd. “I never thought I would stab you in the back like this.”
“It was wrong for you Central Plains people to covet the items buried in these ruins in the first place.”
Inside the dark cavity.
The man holding the dagger to Tang Seo-yeon’s neck laughed darkly.
He was an impressive man with short-cut blond hair and a scar running diagonally across his face.
“I was paid enough compensation and treated well. “I don’t know what you’re dissatisfied with.”
“You don’t understand what I’m saying. “In the first place, this is not a place where someone from the Central Plains can go over.”
“Are you able to handle the rest?”
“Can’t you understand the situation? “You’re not going to go that far on faith in a flimsy contract, are you?”
“…….”
“Whatever happens inside the ruins, there is no way to know from the outside. This means that even if we kill you here and hide the bodies, there will be no problem.”
The men lined up behind nodded in agreement.
Loud laughter filled the narrow space.
Tang Seo-yeon, who was staring at the blade hanging under her chin, clicked her tongue as if it was absurd.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
I burst into laughter looking at that.
Was it when I left Sacheon and went to Gangho for the first time?
There were people who challenged Dang Seo-yeon without even realizing it.
Of course, they all met a bad end.
‘If I wanted to die, what couldn’t I do?’
If the warriors in the central plains had seen this scene, they would have been excited.
Are you saying you’re crazy enough to point a blade at a warrior in the party?
‘They probably thought Tang Sojeo was a powerless woman.’
The reality was different.
Even if I had to choose, I chose the worst opponent.
It didn’t take long for the blond man, who thought he had completely taken control of the atmosphere, to collapse and cough up blood.
“Gagging! “Wow!”
The sight of a man suddenly falling to the ground and convulsing his whole body alerted his colleagues behind him.
They each drew their weapons and shouted as if threatening.
“what!”
“What have you done!”
Although I was not yet familiar with the chief’s language, I was still able to understand what they were saying.
It was rewarding to learn from Cheon Ga-ryeong whenever I had the chance.
Tang Seo-yeon bent down without paying any attention to the men and picked up the dagger that had fallen on the floor.
“Kill!”
Someone’s shout.
The men rushed in at once and waved their military flags.
Tang Seo-yeon, who swung the dagger in her hand once and held it in reverse, lightly kicked the ground.
What followed was a one-sided slaughter that was embarrassing to even call a fight.
“Kaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
Should it really be called a poisonous bird?
It took less than twenty breaths for all enemies to be subdued.
I looked down at the men who were lying on the ground and groaning with pitiful eyes.
If you had attacked me, I would have sent you to the underworld in peace.
Unfortunately, because the person he chose to use as a hostage was a poisonous person, he met a painful end.
‘It’s a dragon-poisoning technique that leaves me amazed every time I see it.’
More than half of them could not even swing the weapons in their hands.
Even if he were a high-ranking expert, he would be reluctant to fight with Tang Seo-yeon in such a small space, and this was why he was afraid of ignorance.
“Would it be better to torture them to find out who was behind it?”
“It’s done. “Anyway, once we clear out the ruins, there’s nothing more to see here.”
He dissuades Dang Seo-yeon from casually saying scary things.
I let out a small sigh and looked at Cheon Ga-ryeong, who came to my side without making a sound.
There was a faint smell of sulfur coming from her body, which had taken the lead in scouting.
“What happened?”
“As you can see.”
“Again? These guys seem to be getting into trouble a lot these days. From now on, should I at least use bast masks to disguise myself as a person with colored hair?”
“Does that have any meaning? “I’m not used to the language here yet, so I think I’ll be upset soon.”
“but. “You won’t be able to hide it with that slurred pronunciation.”
Cheon Ga-ryeong smiles and nods.
She said, scratching the back of her neck with her hand.
“Anyway, it’s annoying.”
“why?”
“I looked into it and it seemed like it would be dangerous to go any further than this.”
At her warning, I narrowed my eyebrows slightly.
Everyone in the group, including me, was an excellent expert.
Skilled people who can ignore most obstacles and pass by.
Even if the front was covered with traps, there was no problem because Tang Seo-yeon was good at organizing the attack.
However, there must be a reason why Cheon Ga-ryeong said that.
It simply means that there is something that cannot be controlled by force.
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
“No way…gunpowder?”
“huh. “If you touch it incorrectly, the ruins may completely collapse.”
Everyone in the group, including me, sighed at the same time as if we had made a promise.
