Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 6

As I spoke about Hao Wenju, the disciples of Hao Wen everywhere pulled out their swords.

It was a quick exit for a warrior of Hao Mun, who said that the martial arts of the monks were quite low.

The pouring swords could not reach me.

Muyeon, who saw this, pulled out his sword much later than the disciples, but it was because he cut off all the swords in an instant.

“You said you were apologizing for your aggressive attitude earlier, but wouldn’t this be a bit too much?”

I laughed, but Dounchu still glared at me.

“This is enough information, but it seems like it would be full and overflowing with the request fee, isn’t it?”

“I think you should drop your prejudice against Confucius. He was a completely different person from what I knew.”

“I don’t know how you know, but maybe that’s right?”

“How did you know?”

The fact that Hao Munju disappeared is a top secret even in Hao Mun.

Opening up, of course, was something that most people didn’t know about throughout the affair.

In the first place, the very existence of Hao Wenju was shrouded in mystery, but it was strange to know that he had disappeared.

‘Would you believe me if I told you I found out in the future?’

It would have happened if he was treated like a body and stabbed, but I don’t think it will have a good effect.

“You keep asking me strange things. Why do you ask when you know there’s no way I can answer you?”

“If the information power of the Gu family is this much, why did they need to come to us?”

“Chief, I didn’t come here to talk about Seon dialogue.”

I wasn’t interested in what Dounchu thought about it.

Tok tok.

Amidst the strange silence that pervaded the room, only the sound of fingers tapping on the desk lingered.

“I have the information you need and you have the ability to bring me the information I need. That was it.”

“Confucius, how am I supposed to believe that information is true or not in the first place?”

“That’s for you to check. Why are you going round and round like this?”

I stopped tapping my fingers.

Dounchu returned with an expressionless face, but thought the mask had already been broken.

“That kind of thing is only done at a risk, branch manager. Hit me up if you don’t need it, because I’m also going to open up or find it.”

Oh, if you do, I’ll spill a little bit about Hao Munju in addition to the opening.

The conversation ended with a few whispered words.

It is up to them to make any judgment, but from my point of view, the answer was fixed.

******************

“How did you just let it go?”

After Guyangchun left, only a few Haomendo and Dounchu remained in the room.

At Hao Mundo’s question, Do Yun-chu let out a wry smile.

“It was wrong from the start, I should have been consistent with my ignorance, but I couldn’t.”

If you know, you don’t know.

To know if you don’t know.

It was the same as Hao Mun’s iron rule.

Based on these words, Dounchu has survived to this day. He had come this far, keeping that one word even in the face of countless crises and deaths.

However, the whole thing was shaken because only one secret was revealed to the boy.

“…I think it was something I shouldn’t have just sent.”

“Then what should I do, catch and torture?”

“Even if it is necessary… .”

“Ya-cheol-ah, don’t talk foolishly. Since they only dig into the four generations, does Guga look like a neighborhood drum?”

Kuga is an undeniably famous family.

Why is the name famous?

It is a prestigious family with a high reputation and power that has been built up over many centuries. Because it hasn’t stopped growing for a long time.

It has grown with the flow without falling behind, so it is now called a famous house.

In the land of Shanxi, touch Gu Ga, the guardian of Shanxi?

Not to mention, touching the only son of the family head, who is a blood relative of the Gu family, would shake Hao Mun itself if it was done wrong.

“Wouldn’t it be better if only the Gu family was involved, but if you touch the Gu family, it’s like giving the rightists a reason to attack Hao Wen. In a situation like this, I had to be even more careful.”

“…I’m sorry, branch manager.”

“The first reason why I don’t blame you for wielding the sword at will is that Gongja of the Gu Family didn’t blame it, and the second reason is that I already ruined it from the start due to my mistake.”

And the third reason for not telling Ya-cheol is the young man escorting Gu Yang-cheon.

At first glance, he was a young man who looked stupid, but of course, he cut off the blade of the sword that was extending toward Guyangcheon in an instant.

If the monks tried to move even one step further… .

‘I was definitely going to cut everything.’

The reason he didn’t wield the sword any more was probably because the swords that stretched toward Guyangcheon didn’t have any life left.

It was because they were originally drawn for threatening purposes.

Likewise, the escort also threw away the sword, but did not strike back.

Even so, Dounchu couldn’t even see the sword wielded by the guard properly.

Even if you can’t do it, you can’t see it with the level of martial arts of helpunchu, but maybe you’ve reached the end of the first class.

It would be correct to say that he predicted the situation that would happen in the first place if he brought such a person as an escort.

Not a single complex thought is organized.

What is the reason why the young prince of the Gu family came to Hao Mun? Is it actually to make a request?

It cannot be information that the boy would have known alone. Surely, the Gu family, and, if necessary, the Gu family’s head of household will be tied up.

‘…what the hell are you thinking?’

It was cramped.

Even so, Do Un-chu is having a difficult situation that comes to him, but he couldn’t give an answer because other characters came in here.

Dowoonchu grabbed his chin with his hand and pulled it.

Jjiik-

The skin stretches and peels off with a tearing sound.

As expected by Yangcheon Gu, it was a bast face.

A woman was hiding in the face of the bast mask that Unchu was wearing.

At first glance, a beautiful woman with cool eyes, thin eyelashes, and white skin as if she had never seen sunlight.

As Dowoonchu took off his bast face mask, Yacheol asked.

“Would you mind taking it off?”

“It’s because it’s cramped. Please understand me a little bit. No one will be watching you anyway.”

Even his voice, which had been pretty for a man, had changed to that of a woman.

“…no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand. There are only a handful of people who know that Lord Moon has disappeared, but how did you find out?”

Due to the nature of Hao-wen, even if he treats the lord as a lord, he does not respect and trust him.

On the contrary, most of them want to become gatekeepers and aim for their backs.

That’s why Hao Wenju also hides himself and lives.

And just because the munju disappeared right away, someone else couldn’t become the munju.

It was only when he inherited the Haomen’s mark that he possessed that he could be recognized as the Haomen’s keeper.

Perhaps the other elders and disciples who know that Moonju is gone are frantically searching for Moonju’s whereabouts.

I don’t know how far Yangcheon Gu knew and came to find him, but it was not judged that he came with shallow information from Dounchu’s point of view.

So, I must have been looking for myself.

‘That kind of thing is only done in a blind spot.’

Gu Yangchen’s words linger in my ears.

Do Yun-chu remembered Hao Wen-ju, who had gone missing.

‘…father.’

As Gu Yang-cheon said, he was not in a position to be blinded.

**************************

‘I almost got fucked.’

After doing some errands in Haomen, I came out to the street again.

“No, they pull out real knives, crazy ones.”

Although I knew he wasn’t trying to kill me, I really didn’t know how to draw the knife.

I was chilled for a moment.

Did I come in too arrogantly?

It was because of the sword that Muyeon showed me that I was able to maintain my calmness even in that gap.

I glanced back and saw Muyeon moving her pupils around and looking around.

‘It seemed clumsy, but the movements were real.’

Still, I was able to preoccupy the upper hand in conversation by pretending to be calm thanks to the desire to return alive.

Moo-yeon glanced at me, feeling that he was secretly watching me.

“Don’t keep glancing at me like that, just ask if you’re curious.”

“I don’t think you will answer even if I ask.”

“…Really quick-witted, how did you know?”

“….”

“Just kidding, I’m also a blood relative of the Gu family, so there can be work.”

Could there be anything like that?

If I had to, since I had been through so many accidents, wouldn’t it be okay to come out with a gut feeling that I accidentally found Hao-men and went to see him out of curiosity?

Going to Sapa wasn’t something that would end with being scolded, but it was a necessary priority before it was too late.

‘If possible, going alone would have been more comfortable.’

It was unavoidable that he dragged Mu-yeon.

Of course, things seemed to work out thanks to that.

Fortunately, Mu-yeon did not find fault with my words. rather.

“…As expected, there must have been a reason why you forced yourself to go out on the street the other day.”

“The other day… ?”

You mean the first day of regression, right?

“The day the elder said he would take care of the master’s martial arts, the day the master ran away saying he didn’t like it. I thought you ran away because you really hated it.”

“uh… ?”

“The elder found out that the young master had run away and said he would cut it in half the next time he saw it, but did you even act like the elder? I don’t even know… . As expected, the blood relatives of the Gu family had a reason for their small actions… !”

“….”

It’s not that I almost got fucked, I was already fucked. You’re not crazy, why are you running away from that!

Having the elder directly take care of martial arts is probably the biggest benefit of being a blood relative, excluding the fact that the head of the household, Gu Cheol-woon, directly takes care of it.

But it bounced because it was difficult.

You crazy man… … . How can a guy like me be such an asshole?

“Let’s go buy some medicine… … .”

I remembered what Wi Seol-ah ate deliciously, so I bought some.

But when I thought about it, I didn’t bring any money, so I was given a no-yeon. I’ll give it to you later, so can you stop crying like that?

Anyway, Haomen’s work will be stopped with this for now.

‘Please give me some time to think.’

said Dounchu, but sooner or later he will bite the bait.

A few years later, the ‘recapture of Hao Munju’ in the future was like that. A few years later, the elite of Hao Mun infiltrated the Dark Night Palace in order to recapture Hao Munju, who should have been in the basement of the Dark Night Palace by now.

As a result, the recapture failed and Hao Wenju died.

Hao Wenju was replaced by the person who led the recapture, and this incident became a matter of getting Hao Wen to come up to the surface properly.

‘All I know for sure is that Hao Munju has been held in the Dark Night Palace for over five years. That the person who led the recapture was from the Shanxi branch.’

After the replacement of the munju, the new munju also disappeared as before, but the traces that could not be hidden in the urgent situation said so.

In fact, it is said to be a recapture, but it was a stern war between the Black Night Palace and Hao Mun, the two major powers in Sapa, after which the Black Night Palace collapsed and Hao Mun went halfway to the end of the gate.

It was none other than the Murim Meng who took advantage of the fight with Hao Mun and destroyed the Dark Night Palace.

It was such a big event that even I, who was not interested in world affairs at the time, would remember it.

‘I was lucky. If it had been Anhui or Shaanxi rather than Shanxi, I would not have been able to try it due to distance.’

It was half a gamble.

At the time, I didn’t know if he was true or not in the rumors, and I didn’t know if there was a Haomen branch in Shanxi now, or if he was the head of the branch.

As a result, I got a little bit of an answer to their reaction.

As the opponent was Hao Mun, he had many thoughts.

It was a request that he had to complete even while taking such a cumbersome and dangerous method.

I had to find it anyway, whether it was asking for the opening or looking for it myself.

Cheonyuranga (天有郞牙) Jegalhyeok.

A man who occupied a position at the head of the Demonic Cult at a young age.

It was a bookmaker who was called the brain of the Demonic Cult itself.

I was thinking of finding him and killing him for the future.

*******************

While out on the street the day before, he ate only a few pieces of the medicinal fruit he had bought and gave them to Wi Seol-ah.

I was covered in spices all over my body as if something had happened while I was gone. I was learning to cook, but how did I learn to be like that?

Still, when he gave me a medicine saying to work hard, I was excited about the world. I was about to want to.

I told them to share it with others who are different from medicine in moderation.

Moo-yeon said he was going to report right after he returned.

I asked Mu-yeon to keep it a secret, as today’s work is related to her family.

Mu-yeon said he would, of course, but in fact, even if he reported it, he did not relax completely because he had made a hole to fix.

so the next day.

When the sun rose and went outside, Muyeon and Geomjon were talking about each other.

“…What is that unusual painting?”

Sword Zone was sweeping the yard with a broom, just like yesterday.

He was talking to Mu-yeon next to him.

“So the elders, swordsmen are old-fashioned, like ‘how much you have to assimilate with a sword’.”

“Is that so, hee hee.”

“For example… . Oh, do you know that there are three zones in the world? I heard that the swordsman of the Three Zones attained enlightenment while dancing sword dance under the moonlight. At that time, he said he listened to the sword.”

“Heh heh heh heh!”

What is that?

Is that what wrinkles in front of the chrysalis?

“Sometimes I feel like practicing my sword at night. That feeling that the sword sometimes talks to. If you swing the sword at that time, your body will feel… . Ah, even if I explain it like this, you don’t understand, I’m sorry… .”

“It’s okay, the old man doesn’t know much about it, so I’m enjoying listening to it.”

Seeing them excitedly discussing swords in front of the swordsman, I felt even more embarrassed.

I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, so I interrupted.

“what are you doing?”

Muyeon and Sword Master saw me and took an example. Putting aside Muyeon, I can’t get used to it even after watching Geomjon take a courtesy for several days.

“..I had a bit of a realization yesterday, but I guess I wanted to talk to someone without realizing it.”

I understand the heart, but it was a problem because the other person was the other person.

Swordsman laughed at Muyeon’s embarrassment.

“Boss, I’m fine. Embarrassingly, even though I was born as a man, I had never held a sword, so my heart skipped a beat when I heard the story of a young warrior who commands the world.”

The old man who really commanded the world was talking like that with his mouth shut.

In the meantime, I didn’t want to see Mu-yeon, who was shaking her shoulders after receiving a compliment.

“So what happened in the morning?”

At my question, Mu-yeon put on a sad expression and handed me a piece of paper. I was bragging about this guy and forgot about it.

On the piece of paper I received, the word ‘Kowloon’ was written in red.

As soon as I saw it, Mu-yeon said, frowning.

“Brother, today is the day you have to go to the Guryonghoe.”

Just looking at it, something that seemed annoying came out.
