Episode 134: Unintended Encounter
The door to the dwelling located deepest in the Poison Palace opened.
The small space is filled with medicinal herbs, and in the middle stands a bed made of jade.
“Oh, you seem like a disgusting person.”
As soon as he entered, Geomma let out a shallow breath at the sound of an old voice.
“I came to get what you asked me to do.”
“Do you know that the incense tree that is placed on the ancestral rite table is called Cheonrihyang? Do you know how much effort goes into making just one of these?”
“I will definitely return the favor.”
“Ew, tsk tsk. It sounds like we’ll become enemies if you don’t give it to me.”
“It’s that urgent.”
Dongbang raised his hunched body from the expensive hospital bed made of the Yellow Heavenly Jewel and pointed to one side of his head.
“My stomach hurts so much. I’ve piled them in a bundle over there, so take them. Don’t break any bottles, and bring them back when you’re done.”
“Thank you.”
As Geomma bowed his head and took the lottery ticket, Dongbang clicked his tongue and held out his teacup.
“How urgent must it be for you to come here in person?”
“… … In Tobong, believers are suddenly disappearing.”
“Ugh, tsk tsk. So you’re going to spread some incense on it? If that’s the case, you should at least formally submit a petition to the cult leader. Don’t you know that if you keep asking for it like this, it’ll just end up hurting your back later?”
“I already uploaded it. One… … .”
As Geomma trailed off, Dongbang poured himself a cup of red tea, put it down, and grumbled.
“That bastard Taekang Jun chewed me up again.”
“I think so.”
“I see. When is it that the military is still so wary of the princesses?”
“I guess they all have meaning.”
“You only know how to swing a sword, why are you so frustrated? He kicked out the elders and now he’s even taking over the secret palace… … That’s enough. Anyway, do your best. Did you come alone? I even saved a piece of ginseng to give to my illustrator when he comes.”
The tone of Dongbang’s voice was filled with regret.
The black horse raised the corners of his lips in an unusual manner and shook his head.
“Stay outside.”
“Huh? Why? How come?”
“Well, I guess it’s because my five senses are so excellent.”
“I know very well that parables are the best stories in the world. But why is that?”
“There is something like that.”
“What! Why are you stopping talking?”
The East is a place where people can swear and chew on the bitter vinegar of the inner garment.
“Stop eating poisonous weeds and take care of your health. I’ll be going.”
“Huh, you. What’s wrong with this? There’s only a slight difference between poison and medicine. As long as it enters the stomach and is digested well, it’s fine. I’ll stay longer. I’m already feeling lonely, so let’s talk a little more while we’re here.”
“There is a lot to do.”
“Oh, that’s rude… … . I see. I should give Yehwa some ginseng to eat before I see her off.”
The two princesses went out, smiling.
* * *
A boy in black robes, wearing a black hat and a mask.
He climbed up the rough mountain path and arrived at the Poison Palace. The heavy breathing was so loud that it was difficult for anyone watching.
But his eyes remain fierce and never tire.
It was the small sect leader, Ma Cheon-so.
“… …Are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
That poisonous bastard. Sangang stuck out his tongue.
As Ma Cheon-so slowly lowered his mask, his pure white cheeks were flushed.
He climbed Geumbong Peak, which is difficult for even a strong man to climb, with his wounded body, so his venom was no ordinary thing.
‘Please get up.’
‘go away.’
‘Carriages are not allowed from here.’
‘asleep.’
Because of his stubbornness, Sangang eventually climbed the mountain, worrying that he might fall behind.
“shrift.”
“All right.”
Sangang stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was no response even when he called out, so he knocked a couple more times.
Then the door opened and the warriors of the Poison Palace asked with anxious expressions as if they were busy.
“Where are you from?”
“I came from Somyeong Palace.”
When Sangang answered, Musa quickly looked around.
Ma Cheon-so didn’t even pay attention to me as he was wearing a mask again.
However, as if it wasn’t the first time, Musa lowered his eyes and bent his knees to show respect.
“I came to see the young sect leader… … .”
“Get out of the way.”
“yes.”
Musa gave way immediately without even paying any attention. Sangang hurriedly stepped in, worried about the condition of the little sect leader.

“The princess.”
On the other hand, Ma Cheon-so seemed so relaxed, so he asked a question and walked inside.
If you look at it from the outside, it looks like the mountains and rivers are on a time limit.
“A guest has arrived and we are talking.”
“Okay, then go.”
“Okay, that’s it.”
The warrior bowed his head, closed the door, and disappeared.
“No, wait… … Master. What if you just defeat them? And why did the author just leave without asking any questions? You should get treatment quickly… … .”
“Don’t be so excited. It’s all better now.”
“yes?”
What do you mean, it got better? My arm was clearly cut and bleeding profusely.
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
Ma Cheon-so turns away coldly, without showing any sign of pain.
His rough breathing has become stable, and his skin is bright white.
‘What is this… … .’
It was so absurd that Sangang quickly grabbed Ma Cheon-so’s injured wrist.
Then he ripped the sleeves apart.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“No… … . How… … ?”
Beautiful skin without a single blemish. It was hard to believe even after seeing it.
It was clearly cut deeply. Did it self-recover in just a few days?
He didn’t even apply the common ointment.
“Let go.”
“ah…….”
“If you’re going to keep being so stupid, just get out. The military can sleep after sending someone like you? Hehe. It’s really pathetic.”
“No… … If it doesn’t hurt, shouldn’t you have said so? Then why did you come here? Are you making fun of me?”
“idiot.”
But this kid… …? Sangang felt even more frustrated.
But when I saw Ma Cheon-so smiling so comfortably, I felt relieved on the other hand.
This is a dirty yet affectionate feeling, the kind of feeling that a killer should not have… … .
He shook his head and followed Ma Cheon-so as he asked.
“Then why did you come all the way here? It took several days to get here.”
“I don’t know.”
“I didn’t even tell the Somyeong Palace. There must have been an uproar if they had disappeared. Please send a letter now… … .”
“No need.”
This crazy guy?! Sangang barely controlled his pent-up emotions and turned his head away.
“Yes, I guess so. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”
“If you know, don’t ask.”
“I want to do that too.”
“What are you saying?”
“What are you talking about?”
Ma Cheon So looks back at Sangang’s grumbling answer as if he is looking at a cripple.
Where did you get such a poor soldier? Are the soldiers losing their minds? Or is this also a ruse?
Ma Cheon-so muttered to himself so that no one could hear him and started walking again.
Then, suddenly, I stopped walking because of the chaotic noise coming from ahead, blocking the road.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
“Pretty.”
“Kiku. That’s funny. She’s so pretty.”
“It’s true. My brother did that. Taeyong did that, and Sikang did that too.”
“Guys, this kid is crazy. What’s that look like? Did he come rolling around in the dirt? Haha!”
They were a bunch of little kids, with three older girls surrounding a pretty little girl and bullying her.
It was a very common occurrence in closed religious schools. The only difference was the name, and the laity were treated like commoners.
“Hey, you’re not pretty at all. You know what? What’s with the pretty ones? Don’t act like you’re worthless, kid.”
“That’s right. They’re all looking at you because you’re ugly.”
“That’s right. It looks like someone is sick and came all the way to the main hospital. This is not a place for laymen like you to come. Do you understand?”
When the girl lowers her head with a sullen face, he starts teasing her by swinging his sword as if he is more excited.
Looking from a distance, it seemed like the boys were really jealous because they were glaring at the girl.
“Uni? Oh my, he’s crying! Hehe.”
“You came from Birugol, right? Look at your clothes. They’re dirty. They’re covered in mud. And you want us to play with you? How can someone like you think you can play with us?”
“Can’t you play with me?”
“If you play with me, you’ll get sick, you idiot. Hehe. Or you. Do you want to spar with us?”
“Daria?”
The girl sticks out her lips and looks around vaguely. She looks so sad that Sangang sighs.
“These days, kids are really… … bad. Everyone sees them as pretty, but I guess they’re jealous. Even for a layperson, this is a bit… … .”
“There is no difference between children and adults, only the quality is different.”
“Oh, yeah. Yeah, that’s true.”
Sangang shut his mouth tightly at the old man’s voice. Macheonso looked at him indifferently and continued to cross towards them without stopping.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m just walking. Is there a problem?”
“No… … . There isn’t any.”
Sangang followed behind, scratching his head.
I think that kid is going to cause trouble again. I feel uneasy for some reason.
As Ma Cheon-so approached without hesitation, the girls flinched and turned around as if on guard.
“What are you?”
“Get out of the way.”
“You’re funny. You’re even wearing a mask. Could it be leprosy?”
“Get your stinky mouth out. Before I tear you apart.”
“Hey, this little brat… …! Hey! Do you know who I am… … Ouch!”
I don’t know. Bang! I grabbed the hair of a girl who was bigger than me and tripped her up.
Then he placed his foot on my neck and looked down at me coldly.
“Do I need to know who you are?”
“eww…….”
Shh …
‘That guy should have been born as a murderer, not a cult leader. Just watching him makes my hands go to my waist.’
Sangang took his hand off the dagger and stuck his tongue out again. Then he stepped forward and waved his hand as if telling the girls to back off.
“Don’t be stupid. If you put up with it, it’ll just bite you more.”
Ma Cheon-so spoke to Dan Ye-hwa as he walked past her again.
“I’m not stupid.”
“I’m not interested.”
As Ma Cheon-so passed by coldly, Dan Ye-hwa pursed her lips and took out a wooden sword from her waistband.
Then he looked around at the girls who were terrified and said.
“Daddy told me to cut it. And I’m pretty.”
“Huh? What did he say… … Gyaak!”
Swish, slap!
Dan Ye-hwa’s body moved dazzlingly and struck the girls’ heads.
This is a truly neat and accurate inspection.
“Eww!”
As the girls sat down crying, Dan Ye-hwa smiled brightly and spoke to Ma Cheon-so.
“I’m not an idiot anymore, am I?”
How can he ask so brightly after beating up someone like that? Ma Cheon-so’s eyes fill with absurdity.
“… … Do whatever you want.”
“Hehehe.”
“If you’re done, get out of the way.”
“Where are you going? Can’t you play with me? I’m bored. I want a mask too. Hehe.”
“I have no intention of playing with the child.”
“My brother is a kid too. He’s about the same size as me.”
Dan Ye-hwa placed her palm on my head and then tapped Ma Cheon-so on the forehead.
I was so shocked that I glared at him without even being able to stop him.
“Do you want to die?”
“Hehehe. I’m a little smaller.”
“Are you crazy?”
Thud, thud.
Ma Cheon-so ignored him and walked away.
But once again, Dan Ye-hwa blocked the road, put her hand on her waist, and suddenly shouted:
“Marry me!”
“it’s crazy……?”
“I don’t want to practice… … .”
Ma Cheon-so opened his mouth in disbelief.
Soon, as the fire in his eyes lit up and his will to live was scattered, Sangang sensed the momentum and stepped forward with a hollow laugh.
“Ahem, kid. It seems like you don’t know what you’re talking about. You shouldn’t say things like that lightly. And you’re not the type of person to treat me like that, so just leave.”
“You’re leaving so quickly. You useless idiot.”
“Well… … That kid wasn’t a threat, was he?”
As Sangang scratched his head awkwardly, Ma Cheon-so lightly pushed Dan Ye-hwa away.
Okay then.
“ouch.”
“what?”
The artificial and elegant tone engraved the character “川” between Ma Cheon-so’s eyebrows.
“ouch.”
He lets out another groan with a blank expression.
What the heck is this… … thing.
“Ouch.”
This time, he lay down on the floor with his back to the ground and twitched his arms and legs like an upside-down bug.
It wasn’t even a suicide threat, but the absurd development left both Sangang and Macheonso dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?”
And at that very moment.
A solemn voice rang out from a few dozen paces away.
Neat appearance and deep wrinkles on the forehead.
He who speaks everything with his sword.
It was the appearance of the swordsman Danjeonghak.
