Absolute Regression Chapter 744

The 744th Jeongsa Daejeon arbitration was also conducted with such diligence

Jeomsoi led the Geommugeuk group to their seats.
Following behind, Geommugeuk asked.

“Is this your first time at a crowded inn?”

Bloody Heavenly Sword and Ilhwa Swordsman nodded. Honestly, I only came in because I was with the Sword Dance Theater. Why would I have stood in line to enter such a crowded inn?

Ilhwageomjon said something that made Hyeoncheondoma feel better.

“Brother, you are the kind of person who wouldn’t stand in line even if it meant entering the treasure vault.”

Bloodthirsty Doma felt good when he heard the word “Brother,” and he felt even better when he heard the word “Brother,” which accurately described him.

Of course, the sword dance wasn’t something that could just pass over.

“If that’s the case, call me! I’ll be up all night! I’ll be here three days in advance, laying out a mat.”

Ilhwageomjon smiled. Blood Heavenly Swordmaster glanced at her. It had been a long time since he’d seen her smile so often.

“It’s passing!”

Jeomsoi passed them, holding a tray in both hands. His
movements were as agile as a light technique. Calls from all directions called for drinks, for food. Even amidst the chaos, Jeomsoi reacted and moved with agility.

“Those people are the heroes of this battlefield.”

Jihan, who was following behind, was observing the sword dance.
This man, who saw everything, who meddled in everything, was his master. He even observed the passing Jeom So-i with keen attention.

Just then, I saw the man and woman who had previously entered the room.
Four guards stood guard around them, guarding them. I wondered if they really needed to go that far, but the man seemed to want to show off, and the woman enjoyed it.

The Geommu-geuk group was guided to a place a little distance away from them.

“Okay, leave the ordering to me.”

Geommugeuk ordered a large bowl of Ohhyangjangyuk.

“And just two bottles of your best liquor.”
“As you can see, we have a lot of guests, so it’ll take a while for the food to come out.”
“Tell them to make it delicious! Since you’re an honored guest!”
“Yes, I understand!”

Jihan thought to himself as he watched Jeomsoi happily running to the hermitage that Geommugeuk had given him.

How could anyone possibly know how precious a guest you are? If they did, the owner would put a sign next to the signboard. This is a house visited by the cult leader and demon lords of the Cheonmasin sect. The line must have stretched several times longer.

“You’re finally getting to try it!”
“Ohhyangjangyuk is delicious, isn’t it?”
“Once you try it, you won’t be able to say that. You might even want to come back again.”

It was the words of the sword dance that contained the wish for the two demons to come again later.

Meanwhile, drinks were served first, along with simple snacks.
Geommugeuk poured drinks for Hyeolcheon Doma and Ilhwa Geomjon, one by one.

“thank you.”

It was a sincere greeting. On this journey, the two were following his lead. There were times when they felt reluctant and moments when it felt uncomfortable, but they were showing the true nature of adults.

Ilhwageomjeon, who received alcohol, also conveyed his sincerity.

“Rather, I am grateful.”

The sword dance brought her here, for her beloved Ohhyangjangyuk.
She’s experienced a wide range of emotions throughout her life. There were times of joy, times of sadness, times of emotion, times of emptiness, times of anger, and times of regret.
Amidst all of these emotions, there’s something she’s never felt before.

fun.

Have you ever felt so purely funny in your life?

“This journey is really fun.”
“I’m glad you’re enjoying it.”

This time, the Bloodthirsty Demon poured alcohol for Geommu-geuk.

“Take it.”

Again.

As always, the clear sound of the wine dripping into the glass contained the heart of Hyeolcheondoma. Thank you for creating this opportunity.

thanks.

The swordsman who had received the alcohol poured drinks for Jihan and Taesu this time.

“A drink for my subordinates. And a drink for the gentleman who stole my heart.”

Taesu, who had been grinning at the expression of the sword dance, realized he had forgotten his own predicament.
He had worried that the moment he revealed the location of the sword gun and passed through the agency, it would destroy him, but lately, he hadn’t even thought about that.

‘What are you doing to make yourself want to die?’

There’s nothing I can do. The person I’m talking to is the one who raises his glass and shouts those words.

“Now, for our five-spice pork!”

Jihan and Taesu followed suit and shouted loudly.

“For the five-flavored pork!”

They were talking so loudly that someone shouted over there.

“Who is making such a noise?”

At first glance, it was clear that the place was filled with unmanned personnel, full of delinquents. As
soon as Geommugeuk finished speaking, he spoke loudly.

“I’m sorry! I’ll drink quietly!”

They stopped arguing after Geommugeuk’s quick apology.
Geommugeuk lowered his voice and spoke.

“I’ll endure it no matter what until I finish eating Ohyangjangyuk! I’ll never see blood! Now, cheers!”

After whispering toasts like that, everyone emptied their first glasses.

“Wow, this alcohol tastes amazing! Come out now, Ohhyangjangyukah!”

But instead of the five-spice meat, something else popped out.
An irritated sound came from the entrance to the inn.

“Get out of the way, kids!”

Geommugeuk’s gaze turned to the entrance.
A man with a fierce gaze stood there, surveying the interior before walking towards them.
Geommugeuk quickly turned his head again and spoke softly.

“I don’t look at that side! I never make eye contact!”

Even if I told you to look, would you look at it because it was too funny? Bloody Heavenly Sword and Ilhwa Sword were pouring each other’s glasses, paying no attention to the man walking towards them.

Fortunately, the man wasn’t headed to the area where the sword dance was taking place.
He walked towards the man and woman who had entered earlier.

The woman was startled by the man approaching her. Her expression quickly turned venomous. Her gaze was as ferocious as the man’s.

“Why did you come here?”
“You’re abandoning me and marrying this idiot?”

At the man’s words, the expression of the man with the woman hardened.
As his pride was wounded, the orders he gave to his escort were equally terrifying.

“What are you doing? Instead of cutting off their limbs and chasing them away?”

The escort drones all stood in front of us.

“You’re such a coward. You’re going to hide behind your subordinates and bark at them?”
“I guess you’re not worth dealing with, you piece of shit.”

They seemed to know each other.
The surrounding guests rose from their seats and left. Food is good, but life is more important.

The sight made Geommugeuk sigh. Trouble had been brewing from the entrance, and now they were about to cause trouble inside as well.

“Why does it have to be like this today?”

Bloody Heavenly Sword Master didn’t miss the opportunity to tease Geommu Geuk.

“How can you easily get a meal while you’re moving around?”

It meant that the sword dance always brought bloodshed.

Anyway, I had to stop him. The moment the knife was wielded, everything was destroyed, and the corpse emerged, the business for the day was over.

While everyone was watching their confrontation tensely.

“Just a moment!”

The man who had rushed in when the sword dance began reacted coldly.

“What are you?”
“As you can see, I’m the customer sitting next to you.”
“Then why are you interfering when you’re just eating?”

The man with his eyes rolled back was unable to see anything. Neither the presence of the Blood Heavenly Sword, as powerful as the great sword, nor the unapproachable aura of the Ilhwa Sword Master were visible to him now.

“I have something to say quietly for a moment.”

As Geommugeuk approached, he stepped back, ready to draw his sword.
But Geommugeuk was already standing beside him, whispering in his ear. To everyone’s eyes, it seemed as if the action had suddenly been omitted.

The swordsman and the man simultaneously looked at Blood Heavenly Swordsman. Anyone could tell that the swordsman was talking about Blood Heavenly Swordsman.
The man’s expression changed constantly.
Blood Heavenly Swordsman shook his head, wondering what nonsense he was talking about.

When the whispering ceased, the man who had seemed poised to overturn the table quietly left. The woman didn’t even glance at him.
As Geommugeuk returned to his seat, Blood Heavenly Sword Master asked.

“You told me about me, didn’t you?”
“I did.”
“What?”
“That man over there is the great master who once turned the martial arts world into a sea of ​​blood, and I heard he’s finally come out of seclusion and into the world. He’s even said to be the kind of person who rips people’s limbs off while they’re still alive.”

Bloodthirsty Demon asked with a dumbfounded expression.

“Did you believe that?”
“After seeing the old man’s expression, you just believed it?”

Should I laugh at this or get angry? Bloody Heavenly Sword Master asked, sipping his wine.

“You kicked me out with something else, and now you’re making excuses!”
“I even said this. Especially when you’ve been single for a long time, you’re always going to tear things down when you’re having a lover’s fight! He left right after hearing that.”

Eavesdropping on the conversation,
Ilhwa Sword Master smiled. Geommu-geuk sensed the change, or rather, the effort, of Hyeolcheon Doma.
He’d never been so receptive to Hyeolcheon Doma’s jokes when they were together. But today, he was accepting every single one of them, probably because of Ilhwa Sword Master. He wanted to see him smile like that at least once more.

‘Yes, please laugh a lot.’

At that time, the man who had been stealing approached Geommugeuk.

“What did you say to that person?”

He should have been grateful if he’d kicked me out, but instead he questioned me in a harassing tone.
Behind the man, a woman appeared. She must have expressed curiosity and stepped forward to find out.

Jihan wondered if the cult leader would even look at him with a friendly face in this situation. If it were him, he’d curse him first. He’d saved me from danger, so how could he be so rude?

This time, the sword dance drama did not tell a story about a torn limb, but a different story.

“My uncle and aunt over there have been married for thirty years.”

Bloody Heavenly Sword and Ilhwa Sword Lord opened their eyes wide in surprise at the unexpected lie.

“That’s the place where my uncle proposed to me.”

At the word ‘proposal’, Blood Heavenly Demon’s eyes trembled slightly.

“I told him I came here to reminisce about those days and eat the five-spice pork I ate there. He said it reminded him of his parents and that he’d let me off the hook just for today.
” “He said something like that? That’s impossible.”
“Everyone has their own stories that others don’t know, right?”

Then, the topic of sword dance changed.

“I heard at the entrance. You two are getting married? Congratulations. You two look so good together.”

The man’s expression softened at the words that it suited him better than a wedding congratulations.

“I’m sure you two will come back here someday, after all this time has passed. Oh, I envy you.”

What more could there be to argue about when you say something like that? Besides, I already kicked that guy out.

The man returned to his seat, and Geommu-geuk sat back down.
Bloody Heavenly Sword Master asked him questioningly.

“Do I look like the kind of person who would propose in a noisy place like this?”

The answer was given by Ilhwageomjon.

“You looked like a madman tearing off limbs.”

He laughed out loud as if he found the sword dance drama funny.

But the good mood was short-lived. A brawl broke out again in the guest room.
The same ruffian warriors who had shouted earlier were now fighting with the guests next to them.
Geommugeuk sighed, covering his face without looking back.

“Ah! I’ve eaten jongyu seontaedo and seondoyeong. Is eating ohyangjangyuk really this difficult?”

Geommugeuk suddenly got up from his seat and ran to where the fight was taking place.

With the swordsmanship of Geommu-geuk intervening, there was no way a proper fight could break out.
Those who were about to draw their swords frowned. No matter how hard they tried, their swords seemed stuck in their scabbards, unable to be pulled out. Those who had already drawn their swords had retracted them against their will.

“What the heck is this!”
“What kind of tricks are you playing!”

In the midst of all the chaos, Geommugeuk said this to this person and that to that person,
going back and forth diligently speaking.

Ilhwageomjon said while watching the scene.

“It’s like he’s going back and forth between the Murim Alliance and the Sadomaeng Alliance, mediating a ceasefire in the Jeongsa War.”
“I wouldn’t even bother mediating the Jeongsa War that diligently. What are they doing to those who will turn to dust in a single blast?”
“It’s a terrifying obsession to feed us five-flavored meat.”

The two of them laughed together. To exaggerate a bit, they laughed more on this trip than they had in their entire lives.

Fortunately, the Jeongsa Daejeon stopped just before it broke out. After hearing what Geommu-geuk had said, they reconciled, laughed heartily, and shared drinks.
Geommu-geuk and Jeomsoi cleaned up the spilled food and broken bottles under the table before returning.

“I asked Jeomsoi if fights like this happen regularly.”
“So what did he say?”
“I’ve been Jeomsoi for seven years, and this is the first time we’ve had so many accidents.”
“I told you it’s because of you!”
“Is it really because of me? Or is it because of that scary Madou?”

The Sword Dance Theater and the Bloody Sword Demon claimed responsibility for each other.

Meanwhile, other guests sat down next to me. As soon as they sat down, they started talking.

“Have you heard the rumor? Someone with the Jangbodo map is passing through Gangseo and heading towards Zhejiang Province.”
“I heard the Honam region is in chaos because of that map.”
“They say everyone from the Central Plains is flocking here. Now even Gangseo is about to be in chaos.”

Jihan, hearing their conversation, was startled. He had clearly applied the incense to the corpse of the Man-ak-san-in. The corpse must have been transported to Shaanxi. But
the rumors weren’t about Shaanxi, they were following them.

“What could have happened?”

Geommugeuk answered Jihan’s question.

“It seems like someone is hoping that the entire martial arts world will move because of this Jangbo Road.”

Jihan thought of the man with the bamboo stick who had come to find him. He thought it might be the man who had made Jang Bo-do apply the incense to his wedding.

Taesu was also surprised. He had only intercepted Jang Bo-do, but things had only gotten worse since then.

Meanwhile, Jeomsoi brought food.

“It’s finally here! Even if war breaks out right now, I have to eat this!”

Finally, the five-spice pork was served on the table.

Freshly boiled meat, well-cut and steaming, was topped with thinly sliced ​​green onions. The five aromas of star anise, cinnamon, fennel, cloves, and Sichuan pepper combined with the meat’s rich aroma, stimulating the appetite.

“Okay, you two eat first.”

Bloody Cheon Do Ma gave the first chopsticks to Ilhwa Geom Jeon.

“You eat first.”

The moment Ilhwageomjon picked up his chopsticks!

The surroundings began to quiet down.
A chilling aura emanated from the inn’s entrance, spreading throughout the room.
That aura alone told him he was a formidable master.
Then came a cold, heavy, and powerful word, a voice even more unpleasant than the threat of killing everyone.

“Everyone, put down your chopsticks!”

Geommugeuk sighed as he watched the steam rising from the five-spice meat.

“Ah! You have to eat it before it gets cold.”
