Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 176

< Episode 176 > Sculpture.(1)

Sculpture. ⑴

Mo Yong-hee, who seems to want something from me.

It was more embarrassing than the stopped surroundings.

“Do carp talk…?”

The carp was talking.

The way he pronounces it clearly with his trembling mouth is terribly

grotesque

.

[You shouldn’t have to answer when someone calls.

I wonder how you can’t be mean even when you’re so old.]

“Are you talking to me right now?”

[Then, who else is here besides you?]

There are a lot of people, it’s because no one moves.

It wasn’t that important now.

“…What is it?”

[You wouldn’t know if you saw it.]

I could understand it very well if I looked at it.

It was carp.

A white and expensive carp that has lived for hundreds of years and is called the noble of Shaolin.

Did you say white language?

It was a name that looked like something.

As I was making a puzzled expression, the carp continued to speak with a pout

.

[Your surprised expression is really like a dog’s cake. The face that was born even after going against reincarnation is so

ferocious…]

“What the hell are you talking about?”

The situation is also a situation, but I can’t believe I’m being personally attacked by a baby carp.

When I say I don’t know what I’m talking about, the carp’s beard rustles.

His expression also seems to have changed slightly.

Should I say it feels like laughing at me?

[Cheol Shin, you idiot. Did you want to play a joke in this situation?]

‘Shincheol.’

He didn’t even have to think about who the identity was at the call of the carp.

Speaking of Shincheol, it was the name of an old man who was sleeping in my body without paying the rent

.

‘The problem is, why is that carp looking at me as a god?’

Is the current appearance, as if time has stopped, the power of that carp?

‘They say it’s a noble thing…’

It wasn’t even a thing in the first place. What kind of monster is this?

I said to Carp right away.

“It looks like you’ve misunderstood something, but I’m not Shincheol.”

[You idiot Malcolm. You should know better that time is running out. Why

are you acting like this?]

“I don’t think you want to listen…?”

The moment I said something as if it was absurd, the long beard of the carp stretched out and

stroked my cheek.

The slippery touch bothered me for a moment and I tried to grab it, but the beard evaded my touch and

went back.

As soon as I went back, he wiggled his beard and said to me with a smile.

[You’ve made one body go crazy. Not only did I cross the wall, but

I started laying the floor in advance to reach transcendence.]

“”

At the words of the carp, a small sweat broke out on the back of my back.

Because it was as you said.

I was preparing in advance to reach the climax.

The state of martial arts has reached its peak and has crossed the wall, and the bet is gradually assimilating with the body,

laying the foundation for transcendence.

Of course, going from the top to the climax is as much as it was called the tomb of a soldier.

It was more difficult to reach the stage of hwagyeong from the climax.

Even as I am now, I had to hold on to it for at least several years.

‘Did he notice that at once?’

[The first proof that you can go up there with your bloody body,

and the second is more than that.]

Splash.

The carp struggled and splashed water droplets onto my cheeks.

[Are you trying to play a joke on me even with that strong scent of plum blossoms? Damn Malco

.]

Ah.

‘Is it because of the pottery in the body?’

A pottery that came along with Shinnoya from the treasure of the volcano.

How dark it was, it even changed the color by affecting the chemistry of the Guyeomhwaryungong

.

Shin Noya said that the pottery I had

was thicker than that of Yeongpoong, the plum swordsman.

The problem is that just because I felt it doesn’t give me any reason to mistake me for Shin Noya

.

Above all, Noya was already dead.

[So the pranks end here. I’m glad that our hopes came true

, but the time given to me isn’t that much.]

“I’ll say it again, I’m not him…”

When I denied it once again, Carp snorted.

Such a clear expression on that face that looked so profane.

[If you come out like that. I didn’t mean to go this far.]

Are you trying to do something?

I raised my spirits slightly, fearing that an attack might come.

I want to be on guard against carp, but the opponent

is a monster who has lived for hundreds of years, so I don’t know.

However, unlike the heightened alert, the attack did not come.

Instead of attacking, Carp looked at me with a determined expression and spoke up.

[It was a job when we were young, you must remember, right? You were chasing the Moyong family’s child

…]

At Carp’s words, I felt a tingling sensation in the Danjeon area.

This turned into pain, and I had to crumple my expression without realizing it.

The feeling of being tightened seemed like a commotion.

‘I can’t believe this…’

Is that monster who eats up all the energy going on a rampage again?

[I confessed for three days and nights, and in the end, this guy’s hands ….]

Let the carp spit out something.

[This rotten bastard…! Don’t shut up!?]

A familiar voice popped out of my head.

“…uh?”

[Huh?]

[Huh.]

A quiet silence lingered for a moment.

While the silence lasted, an old man with a voice that seemed to have a very bad personality.

[ .This is how it works?]

Shinnoya murmured in despair.

When it comes to Hwang Ah Bul Young and Cheol Young, he is said to be the most talented person in the history of Shaolin

.

A Buddhist who has reached the highest level.

One of the five masters who drew the blood demon’s blood.

It is no exaggeration to say

that Cheolyoung laid the most path in making today’s brilliant Shaolin .

such a person

Puffy.

‘That carp?’

I looked at the white carp that was pouting with a bewildered expression.

The swimming movements and pure white scales look noble and elegant.

It felt like the stupid face of a carp was a flaw.

I didn’t think it was a lie.

It must be because none other than Shin Noya said so.

Noya looked at the carp for a while and said.

[Cheolyeong, what the hell is that like now?] It

‘s embarrassing

that a nobleman who had been sleeping without breathing until now suddenly jumped out .

There is no time to ask what you are doing now.

Shin Noya is that carp …. To be precise, he was busy talking to Hwang Ah Bul-yeong.

[This is what I want to ask. Shincheol.]

…

…..

That voice that seemed light earlier disappeared.

I felt the weight of not knowing what it was.

[ .Why do you look like that?]

[It must be the same reason as you.]

That carp was called the ghost of Shaolin.

Just as Shin Noya was asleep in the ghost of the volcano,

did Cheolyoung also sleep in the ghost of the volcano?

‘It has its own credibility.’

Since Noya Shin was like that, Cheolyoung could also be like that. In order to do so

, it was necessary

to explain why the master of the past had his soul tied to a ghost .

Previously, Shinnoya said he didn’t know the reason.

I didn’t know if it was Cheolyoung.

‘Did Noya expect something like this?’

You never know.

I remembered the words of Shin Noya, who said that he would like to visit Shaolin when he goes to Hanam

.

Could Noya have hoped for a situation like this?

just as expected.

Shin Noya asked Cheolyoung.

[Cheolyoung, do you know why we have remained in this modern age

?]

The reason why Noya was able to remain in this era.

and what caused it to remain.

[ .you. Why are you asking that?]

[You’re asking because you don’t know.]

[…]

[Cheolyoung.]

Hwang Ahbulyeong, who had been spitting out words until just now, chose silence for a moment.

It’s still.

There is no sound in a world where time has stopped, so it is so quiet.

Shin Noya continued to urge Cheolyoung, as if he could not stand the silence.

[Cheolyoung why answer…]

[Isn’t that kid you?]

[What?]

[The boy I’m looking at isn’t you.] It

was a strange question.

Aren’t you Noya?

Shin Noya immediately asked if he had no idea what he was talking about.

[What kind of nonsense is that? Am I not this child?]

Cheolyoung was still silent at Noya’s question.

He just stared into my eyes with his twitching mouth.

[Cheolyoung.]

Noya kept calling his name, probably feeling something strange.

It wasn’t long before a lament was heard.

[…Right. Didn’t it work as well?]

[I have to explain what I’m talking about so that I can understand it.]

[Shincheol.]

[Speak.]

The thin beard that was rustling sank deep into the lake.

Just like the atmosphere of Cheolyoung right now.

[I don’t remember.] [Yes,

I

don’t remember anything

.

how did you become

Why do I have to remain here as a spirit and wander this world?

Shinnoya didn’t remember.

Unlike the written history, Noya, who knew nothing,

hoped that Cheol-yeong would solve this question.

[Do you know the reason?]

To Noya’s question, Cheol-yeong answers with a gaping mouth.

[I know. I know it well.]

[In that case.]

[But I can’t tell you.]

Shin Noya instantly became furious at Cheolyoung’s words.

[Are you kidding me?]

[I hope so, but since you look like that, I can’t say anything

.]

[What the hell does that mean….]

[The past hundreds of years. After a not-so-short wait, I met you, but the story I got

is that in the end reincarnation cannot be cut off.]

Is it an illusion?

The carp’s beautiful scales seemed to have lost some color.

Even while the two of them were talking, I just kept my mouth shut and listened.

This is because there is no time to intervene, and Noya’s feelings are felt so well.

I couldn’t even get a word out of this.

[Are you going to keep spitting out strange noises?]

[How much do you remember?]

To Cheolyoung’s question, Shin Noya thinks for a moment before giving an answer.

[Chuck Masan. The final battle with the blood demon. I remember that moment.]

Cheolyoung smiled dejectedly at Shinnoya’s words.

[If that’s the case, then you really don’t know anything.]

As the incomprehensible answers continued, Shinnoya couldn’t stand it and screamed.

[This damn bastard…! If you’re going to give an answer, say it straight!]

Cheol-yeong’s reaction to Noya’s cry was the same. insensitive and indifferent

From the moment Shinnoya appeared in the form of a spirit, Cheolyoung’s reaction was shattered

.

Unable to bear the reaction, Shin Noya gritted his teeth and spoke another word.

[. Please answer just one thing straight.]

Cheolyoung didn’t answer, but Shin Noya continued.

[Is the blood demon dead?]

At that moment, Noya’s question gave me the illusion that the wind was blowing.

Everything around me has stopped, so that shouldn’t be the case, but for some reason, that feeling passes by

.

Cheol Young, who had been wriggling his beard, came up with an answer this time.

[Fortunately, this can be answered. However, it looks like you already know the answer

. Am I wrong?]

[.]

Hearing Cheolyoung’s words, I felt a shiver at the Danjeon side.

This meant that Noya was agitated.

Eventually, at Cheol-young’s words,

[He’s not dead.]

The pottery that was sleeping in the danteon was shaken violently.

“Noya…!”

I try to catch Doggy who is going wild and try to calm him down.

As if Shinnoya didn’t hear this, he was constantly expressing his emotions.

In the meantime, I was also shocked by Cheolyoung’s words.

How can I not be shocked?

‘The blood demon didn’t die?’

A bloody demon that tried to stain the Jungwon with blood centuries ago.

It was said that the five masters killed the blood demon after the Blood Demon War.

‘That kind of person didn’t die…?’

Cheolyoung’s words were as if the blood demon was still alive.

for this long time

[Looking at your reaction, you don’t seem to remember the last moment.]

[ .Explain properly what happened.]

[Didn’t you hear the answer you wanted

? Obviously…]

[Do you still believe in history? Even though I have suffered so much?]

Shin Noya swallowed a saliva at Cheolyoung’s sharp words.

[Yes, it’s not wrong. The Blood Demon must have died in that fight.]

[If that’s the case…!]

[Hana didn’t die.]

It felt like the wind I felt behind my back got a little stronger.

It’s hot and thick that doesn’t match the cold energy of winter.

It was a wind full of heat.

[Even after he died, he tied himself to this land.]

[Easy to understand…]

The carp with white scales slowly swam towards us.

It’s as if he wants to meet Noya’s eyes.

Suddenly, a soft voice came out of his trembling mouth.

[The blood demon is dreaming of resurrection, the volcanic sword.]

At Cheolyoung’s words, the Danjeon shook like an earthquake.
