The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 213

◈ Episode 213. It’s a bit much (1)

5 minutes.

Divided by seconds, the time was about 300 seconds, which could be a long time in some ways and a short time in other ways.

And actually, Kim Joo-hyuk felt that those five minutes were a very long time.

Think about it.

To begin with, Kim Joo-hyuk doesn’t know anything about reincarnation.

But what if you go into the reincarnation center without knowing anything and move as the guide tells you to retrieve the fruit?

Of course, the guide explained in detail what to do in the samsara, but as we all know, there is a big difference between just listening to the story and doing it yourself.

If you heard the story right away, it would probably take about this long, right? Even if you think the same relaxed thoughts, it may not actually be the case.

Anyway, 5 minutes felt like a very short time to Kim Joo-hyuk.

however.

“This is it.”

“oh.”

“Here it is.”

“oh!”

“This and this. “This is it.”

“Good?”

“It would be nice to have this and this and this. “This too.”

“…oh?”

“Take this too. Same goes for this one.”

“….”

Currently, 5 minutes was a very generous amount of time for Kim Joo-hyuk.

Okay.

Kim Joo-hyuk looked down and saw the stopwatch he was wearing to check the time.

2:21 seconds.

Even though all of the disciples’ names were already found, there were still 2 minutes and 21 seconds left.

however.

“I think it would be a good idea to send this and this down too. As a bonus, this too.”

Changju, who suddenly met after coming to the reincarnation center, had already found the names of Taowang and Seolnansin, including his disciples, and was continuously looking for other names.

Before Kim Joo-hyuk can say anything, Chang-ju is constantly walking around the tree and picking the fruit with his name on it.

Looking at him like that, Kim Joo-hyuk once again remembered what Barce said a while ago.

‘Did you say you planted a pretty smart guy on top?’

Of course, that was not what Barce said, but what Barce had said to Kim Joo-hyuk.

Kim Joo-hyuk and Barce did not understand what he said at first.

Because in the first place, there was no one who planted both Kim Joo-hyuk and Barce on top.

Of course, while thinking like that, a guide flashed through Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind, but he immediately shook his head.

This was because I heard from the guide that he was running away.

Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk and Barce thought that maybe Zhong Li-kwon was mistaken. He finally understood what Zhong Liquan had said.

Kim Joo-hyuk’s fifth disciple.

Even though it was above, I couldn’t remember the name, perhaps because it had been stolen, but it was okay.

In the first place, Kim Joo-hyuk called the fifth disciple by a nickname rather than his name.

Kim Joo-hyuk once again recalled the old memories of his fifth disciple.

“But…”

“Yes. “Why are you doing this, Master?”

“…What are all these?”

He looked at the fruits below him and opened his mouth.

That’s because the fruit underneath Kim Joo-hyuk was so huge that even at a glance it seemed like there were more than a dozen of them.

“These are the names, Master.”

“Have you found all the disciples’ names?”

Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze and asked, pointing to a hole where the names of his former students had been sent down earlier, and Chang-ju nodded and spoke.

“you’re right. As a bonus, I also sent down the names of the King of the Deep in the Snow and the King of Dao that you mentioned.”

“Then what about this?”

“It is a name that you can use, Master.”

“…A name I can eat? “Is there such a thing?”

Kim Joo-hyuk asks in confusion.

At least as far as he knew, these fruits were not ordinary fruits, but all fruits made with names.

‘I’m sure the guide said not to try to eat fruit carelessly, right?’

Kim Joo-hyuk recalled his guide’s words.

‘Just in case, don’t try to eat the fruits in the reincarnation center. They are all fruits with my name on them, and if you consume them, there will be no good for you.’

‘Aren’t you still absorbing it? That’s not to say that you are absorbing the name, but rather that the name is converted into energy and passed on to you. You are not eating the name.’

‘Anyway, if you eat any of the fruit there, it can be very bothersome, so don’t ever eat it. ‘You really have to keep this in mind.’

Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the words of his guide who repeatedly warned him not to eat the fruit inside the reincarnation center.

However, even as he was thinking that, Chang-ju, who had been frantically wandering around the tree to pick fruit, soon shoved a huge amount of fruit into the pocket that Kim Joo-hyuk had brought with him and spoke.

“You can take this.”

“…Oh yeah.”

Kim Joo-hyuk opens his mouth with a slightly bewildered expression and checks the time.

There are now about 40 seconds left.

After checking the time, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at his student.

Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at his student who was looking at him with a face that had not changed at all from 300 years ago, looked at the time slowly decreasing.

“First of all, I don’t think I can talk in detail because I don’t have time. I believe you.”

“…!”

“See you later.”

After saying that, I tried to jump into the portal while watching the stopwatch tick down 10 seconds.

“ah.”

He made an expression of regret, as if he had forgotten something, and then turned his gaze and threw something at Changju.

“This…?”

What I caught in my hand was a black seed.

“Put it in the ground.”

Kim Joo-hyuk, who confirmed that Chang-ju had received the seed he threw, immediately said so and immediately went through the portal as if there was no more time left.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh huh—

Just like that, the reincarnation center was filled with silence again.

And in a reincarnation place full of silence.

“….”

As Changju looked at the black seed that Kim Joohyuk had given him, he remembered what he had said to him a little while ago.

‘I believe you.’

Of course, those words could have been just a light remark to someone.

It could also have been a meaningless word.

“…Believe.”

At least that’s what Changju said.

“Believe…!”

It was like proving that the 300 years he had endured until now were not wrong, so he squeezed the black seed with eyes full of joy.

‘Please wait, Master…’

Immediately, Changju turned his gaze and looked at the portal leading to a room filled with ebony.

‘I will definitely do it.’

That’s what I thought.

####

For the first time in a while, there was a lively atmosphere among the disciples of the God of War within the Daegongdong.

The reason was that the four disciples who influenced the actual atmosphere of Mushinmun were all in a good mood.

There were two reasons why they were currently in a good mood, and one of them was because Kim Joo-hyuk was able to retrieve the names of others, including his disciples, and send them down, so that they would soon obtain real bodies.

Another reason was that Wu Xin’s disciples had searched for clues about the fifth disciple, whom they had been searching for but could not find at all.

No, it wasn’t just that he found it, it was that he found out where the fifth disciple was and what he was doing.

“Hey, Jukchang was doing that up there, right?”

“It’s fascinating. “We could never have imagined it.”

“How on earth does Jukchang get up on top?”

“It’s definitely fascinating, but how on earth did they get up there and infiltrate it?”

The disciples of Martial Arts are talking among themselves on the rooftop, as if they are in a bit of a good mood.

and.

“….”

Seolnanshin, who was quietly listening to their story, soon looked at the king of Dao, who was showing a relaxed expression in front of him, and spoke.

“Is it okay for me to like that?”

“huh? “What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about the fifth disciple of God of War above.”

Hearing Seolnanshin’s words, the King of Dao shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

“Is there any reason not to like it?”

“No….”

Seol Nan-shin spoke with a slightly distraught expression, as he had some understanding of the current situation in this labyrinth through Kim Joo-hyuk and the disciples of Martial Arts a few times before, although it was not really detailed.

“This is really a what-if story, but isn’t it a story where you could just betray and stick with that side?”

Seolnanshin’s question.

What about the King of Dao? For a moment, he made an expression that said he didn’t understand Seolnanshin.

“ah. “Well, looking at the situation, it seems like you might have betrayed me.”

“It doesn’t feel like it’s going to lift, but it lifts very clearly.”

“No need to worry.”

“…You’re so sure about that?”

The King of Dao nods his head very lightly at Seolnanshin’s words.

Seolnanshin looked strangely uneasy at that, but quickly nodded and then asked.

“Then let’s skip that… What on earth is the nickname Jukchang?”

“Oh, bamboo spear?”

“okay. “The nickname ‘Jukchang’ is a bit… isn’t it?”

“Doesn’t being crazy and bright seem better than being cruel or timid?”

“…If you say that, it’s like that again.”

Seolnanshin immediately nods his head as if he understands something strangely.

“Then why did you get that nickname in the first place?”

“You mean the bamboo spear?”

“okay.”

In response to Seolnanshin’s question, the King of Dao looked into space for a moment as if he was thinking about something again and spoke quietly for a long time as if he was thinking about something.

“As far as I know, it’s probably just the nickname?”

“Just the nickname?”

The king nodded and immediately started talking.

“You know that the world was a mess 300 years ago, so there were some people who made themselves kings and created a kingdom that didn’t even look like a kingdom, right?”

“…There were times like that.”

“Among them, there was a rather prosperous kingdom near our Musinmun. It was a kingdom with a strange name, like the Kingdom of Ordinances or something, and it was eating up a very large piece of land where people could live well.”

When Seolnanshin nodded, the King of Dao continued talking.

“But the king of a place called Ordinance Bureau or something like that, when the land grew a little, the liver went overboard and went to see the Musinmun.”

“In no newspaper?”

“Okay, I went to the newspaper and… what did they say? Did you tell the kingdom to bow its head? I think I heard you say that. “Anyway, I would have said it with a similar nuance.”

“So the fifth disciple went to kill the king of that kingdom?”

Seolnanshin’s question.

The King of Dao paused for a moment and then spoke.

“I killed the king, but I didn’t go there to kill him.”

“I didn’t go there to kill you. “What does that mean?”

“In the first place, the moment the envoy to the kingdom said those words, Jukchang threw a spear on the spot and blew the head off the king of that kingdom.”

“….”

“I believe that’s probably why his nickname is Jukchang.”

Seolnanshin could not help but make a blank expression at the words of the King of Dao.
