EP.65 God’s Medicine. (2)

God’s medicine (2)

Kuung-!

coo-!

The rough sound of scrap metal colliding with each other echoes in the deep cave.

The nauseous smell that stung the tip of my nose made me frown.

Bae Chong walked little by little with trembling legs and entered the cave.

After walking a little further along the torches on the wall of the cave, I see a man sitting on a huge chair.

The large sword hung loosely on the side of the chair was as large as an average adult man.

When Bae Chong arrived in front of the man, he slowly knelt down on one knee.

The owner of the sword opened his mouth as he looked at his gun with a sad expression.

“Your tail got stepped on?”

It’s a dull voice full of annoyance.

Bae Chong swallowed lightly and answered.

“Yeah… I think the Volcano faction noticed it.”

“Hmm…. Was it too greedy to bring the Wandering Sword?”

Volcanic plum swordsman, wandering sword god.

I tried my best to seize the opportunity, but it was useless and my tail was stepped on.

It was because the volcano was quicker than expected.

“It would be unreasonable to bring out more when you have already noticed the change.”

“I will report to the main palace.”

“Don’t be late. You’ll do well since you saw that your arm was pulled for being late, right?”

“…yes!”

The man who was just chewing on the fried scorpion next to him took out a book from his pocket and threw it at Bae Chong.

“You bastard.”

“…Yes, branch manager.”

“I heard there was an accident on the Yeokcheon side, do you know what it is?”

“…I heard that raccoons appeared.”

“raccoon? How do they know?”

Raccoon is a term used to refer to Hao Mun in a low-key way.

Not somewhere else, but noticing that deep place? No matter how excellent Haomen is in the information field, this time it was something that was not easily understood.

“Um…. Is there a snitch?”

I’m not sure if it’s not there, but it’s hard to imagine that it wasn’t Murim-Meng and Hao-Mun put it in there.

The shaking hand stopped.

Because he ate all the scorpions.

The quick-witted Bae Chong saw it and quickly said to the man.

“I’ll have the kids bring more.”

“It’s good that you’re quick-witted.”

The grinning man stands up.

It was to the point where I felt intimidated by the gigantic body that was over eight feet tall.

Bae Chong, who saw that, added a word urgently.

“One person has fallen from the main palace.”

“I am listening.”

“It is said that faith has appeared in Shaanxi.”

The man’s eyes widened at Baechong’s words.

“Are you trustworthy?”

“yes.”

“You said you were in Anhui last time, but this time you came to Shaanxi? All old people are strong.”

“The location is being identified by releasing the children now.”

At the words of Bae Chong, the man reveals his yellow teeth.

The cave shook as the bloody murder escaped the man.

“You bastard.”

“Yes… Yes! Branch manager…!”

“I don’t think I ever ordered the kids free?”

It’s getting more and more heartbreaking.

Baechong spit out words quickly at the approaching hand.

“This is an order from the Gugung Lord himself…!”

At Bae Chong’s words, the approaching man’s presence stopped and the murderous spirit slowly disappeared.

“okay?”

“Yes…. This is a letter sent directly by the princess.”

Handing over the paper with trembling hands, the man snatched it up and unfolded it.

The seal of the royal family was really stamped on the book.

As a result, the man’s expression softened.

“It is a bit disappointing to hear that the princess has been very busy, leaving the branch manager alone and sending a letter to her subordinates.”

“…That’s right…! You must have been very busy.”

You’re not getting trust because you’re not good at your job, you wild boar bastard.

Pudeuk.

The stomach gun swallowed the words that he couldn’t bear to say until he died.

“So what do you mean, just kill it?”

It was all written in the letter, but it was really fucked up to ask without reading it properly.

But the gun was something that couldn’t be helped.

“…I ordered him to be bound and locked up in the basement of the branch.”

“…hmm. Are you just going to lock it up again?”

“Yes, even if something happens, he said don’t touch your eyes and hands.”

“It’s no fun.”

As soon as I heard the contents, I put on a sad expression.

The belly gun drained the heat rising up from inside.

It was strange to be a branch manager like that.

When he saw the power he possessed, all doubts were unnecessary.

The Great Executioner (大絶鬼) is bloody.

From a military standpoint, he should have been a soldier belonging to the main palace.

However, he was a person who was eventually pushed from the main palace to this point due to his filthiness beyond the line and ignorant fighting method that did not know the extent.

In other words, unlike being stupid, he is like a monster in terms of military power, so he is a person who sits as the head of a branch even after being pushed out of the main palace.

“Oh, can I rip off those who get in the way?”

“…Yes, he said that you only need to capture and imprison your faithfulness.”

“Yes, yes. I hope you find it sooner… It’s better if the volcanoes come in droves.”

The savage enemy raised a huge greatsword when he said that.

It must have been a huge size, but since it was bloody, it looked relatively small.

Whoo!

“…!”

A lightly swung sword wind passed through Bae Chong’s head.

Kwaaang!

Soon after, I had to calm my chest, which was shaking at the sound of a roar coming from behind.

The bloody enemy didn’t care about that stomach gun and smiled with his yellow teeth shining.

“Did you say Geomryong? Some of the kids say it’s okay… I wish I could meet them. I was so happy to trample on them.”

giggle laughed bloodily.

Geek.

Baechong closed his eyes at the sound of the greatsword scraping the ground.

It was only when the beast slowly passed through him and infiltrated into the darkness of the cave that Bae Chong finally let out the breath he had been holding back.

“Fuck…”

I have to get out of here quickly.

I couldn’t stand it any longer under that crazy piglet.

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

As Maehwaseon said, after having a simple breakfast, we set off for the volcano.

Since the mountain was not very high, the attendants could not be taken with them, so they set off with only a few escorts, including Muyeon.

Namgoongbia also seemed to be planning to follow the volcano wave, so he told me to take care of it.

It was because I knew that even if I didn’t come, I wouldn’t listen.

I climbed up to the top of Yeonhwabong Peak, which showed no end.

If it had been in the past, I would have gone halfway and lay face down.

It was because I had been training steadily for several months, but I was able to endure it a little bit.

Of course, it was so hard from the middle, so I had to round the bet.

“Little Hyeop! We are almost there!”

Yeongpoong frowned at his words.

“…The stamp said that aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ago too.”

“It really isn’t long. Be strong.”

Why is he so bubbly…?

Youngpoong was not breaking a single sweat as he climbed the many stairs.

Even Namgoongbia, who follows her, doesn’t seem to mind.

There is a bit of sweat running down his cheeks, but it doesn’t seem too much.

…Could this be my weakness?

[Me…]

‘If you’re going to start with me, just stay still.’

[…]

Shinnoya tried to say something, so I stopped him first.

Shinnoya kept his mouth shut as if my first move was the correct answer.

After climbing for a long time without resting, I began to see the front gate of the Munpa.

“Everything is here…!”

“…and.”

After climbing the hellish stairs, I looked back and saw a panoramic view down the mountain.

It was definitely beautiful to see from such a high mountain.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”

I nodded my head at Yeongpoong’s question.

It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who was blinded by the sight.

[…Still… It’s still beautiful. It’s a relief…]

Shinnoya’s wet voice came.

It was a low and delicate voice unlike usual.

I heard the sound of a door opening behind me as I was looking at the superb view under the high volcano.

profit.

“What are you doing there?”

Yeongpoong was taken aback by the voice.

It was because the person who opened the door was none other than Mae Hwa-seon.

What kind of a long-time person opens the door and comes out to meet you…?

“Meet Jang Moon-in.”

“Oh Young Poong, you worked hard.”

Mae Hwa Seon said that and stroked Yeong Poong’s head.

Seeing the protruding Maehwa ship, the Gu family guards behind them froze.

In particular, Bia Namgung and Muyeon, who had been expressionless the whole time, seemed to have a little light in their eyes.

I immediately followed along and took the example.

“It is said to be Gu Family’s Guyangcheon.”

“I saw you so intensely in the morning, but you say hello again.”

Maehwasun let out a laugh.

“Come in, please. I hope you don’t get disappointed.”

Following the calm steps of Maehwaseon, I entered the volcano wave.

Plum blossoms, which should have bloomed only in early spring, were blooming everywhere in Munpa, even though it was late summer.

Thanks to that, I forgot about the sweltering heat and wondered if spring had arrived.

It was said that all of this was related to the mental law.

Hwasan’s mental method is called Shingong.

Isn’t it possible to be called a new work only when it affects nature like this?

As I walked a little along the densely blooming apricot road, outbuildings built here and there caught my eye.

I can see the years as if it has passed for a long time, but I don’t feel like it’s rusty because I’ve managed it neatly.

Following the steps, I passed relatively small outbuildings and climbed uphill, and at the end of them, a house was built.

“Come in comfortably.”

It was the residence of Jang Moon-in.

“Ah, only this child will come in, and the rest of you will stay outside for a while.”

Maehwaseon pointed at me and said.

Because of that, I had to pause for a moment.

I was taken aback for a moment, but after I told the escorts that it was okay, I followed Munin Jang into the quarters.

Namgoongbia seemed to be missing something, but she couldn’t help it because it was Jang Moon-in’s words.

The inside of the residence was too casual to be said to be a place where the chieftain of the old file room resided.

The feeling of just being there.

In the center, Maehwaseon started brewing tea herself.

Oh, this is more burdensome than I thought…?

“Since it’s an old man’s room, there’s nothing to give you but plum tea…”

“I like plum tea too.”

“Oh… that’s a good thing, young kids these days don’t seem to like it very much.”

Actually, I didn’t particularly like it, but I didn’t hate it either.

The plum tea brewed by Maehwaseon had a strong fragrance.

When I took a bite, it was much sweeter and sour than I expected, and it tasted good.

I thought he would like it if I gave him a wig.

‘Even in this situation…’

Now, when I see something sweet, Wi Seol-ah’s face comes to mind.

It was clear to me that the gap was gradually narrowing.

“I’m glad it seems to suit your taste.”

He smiled shyly at Maehwaseon’s words.

Did you feel the taste too openly?

“I’d like to give you something to chew on, but I haven’t brought anything in the room.”

“it’s okay. Giving you a car is enough.”

After taking a few more sips, he carefully held out the box he had brought with him.

It was a treasure chest.

Mae Hwa Seon opened the box and undid the cloth tied inside.

Immediately, bright light and the scent of plum blossoms fill the room.

“…after.”

Maehwaseon sighed as if she was glad to see it.

Then he wrapped the cloth again and poof! and threw…

Throw!?

thud!

The box containing the ghost flew behind the Maehwa ship and landed somewhere in the room.

“…Huh?”

“Now that I’m here, the elders won’t have to scold me… I’m glad I did.”

…No, can I do that? Are you a ghost of your own clan?

Shin-no-ya is like that…

‘Shin-no-ya?’

There was no answer, so I called out, but Noya didn’t say a word even after calling.

‘what?’

Since when? Since when did Shinnoya not talk?

I don’t think it’s because I’m angry and quiet.

“first of all.”

While thinking, Mae Hwa Seon’s voice alerted me.

It was because there was a main theory that took precedence.

“Thank you for bringing the ghost into the text, Gongja Gu.”

Mae Hwa-seon, who took an example as a long-time writer, had a serious voice.

I also carefully readjusted my posture.

“It took a lot of hard work to come this far.”

“no.”

“I’m going to send my thanks to the former head of the family, but please tell me one more time that this old man is grateful.”

“Yes, when I return to Sega, I will not forget to tell the head of the household.”

I took it out of my pocket and handed the letter to Mae Hwa-seon.

Take out the seal with the plum blossom design on it and press it firmly against the letterhead.

This marks the end of the official handover of the ghost.

Mae Hwa-seon said to me as I was folding the letter finely and putting it in my bosom.

“Hey.”

It was the tone of voice that came back after the schedule between Sega and Munpa was over.

“Yes, a long writer.”

“Now that we’ve talked about ghosts, let’s talk about what you have in your body.”

“…”

Something to come has come.

A cold sweat broke out because Mae Hwa-seon pointed out.

I didn’t think I’d get caught, but… I didn’t think I’d get caught right away.

Looking at Maehwa-seon with trembling eyes, Maehwa-seon is just drinking tea.

Are you asking yourself to answer?

What should I do? Should I go out shamelessly pretending not to know?

While doing so, Maehwaseon spoke quietly.

“The energy inside is definitely the same as the energy in the main text.”

…It would be impossible to take Shiva away.

No matter how much he tried to stop Noya from gaining strength, it seemed impossible to hide it from Mae Hwa Seon.

“I wonder how it is inside you.”

At this time, it would have been a little more comfortable if Shin Noya was there….

Maybe Mae Hwa-seon did something, and Noya’s voice could not be heard.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way.

It was because he hadn’t had the discretion to fool the eyes of Maehwa-seon yet.

I finally caught my breath and told Mae Hwa-seon about what had happened on the way.
