Episode 185 Truth (5)
“Was that plan really our lives? It was an innate talent. Aren’t you telling us to die?”
Dan Yeong-ho drew a valley between his eyebrows and suddenly raised his voice.
So I faced him calmly.
“I never said no. I have said it many times. I will use your lives to strike the heavenly palace.”
“No, f*ck… … . If you take that as an ambiguous meaning, who would think it’s real?”
“Then, is there any other way? Rather than living like this and becoming a zombie at their hands, I’d rather give them at least one chance to get revenge.”
“We can’t. We won’t! This is not right! How did we survive!”
Is that really true?
I ignored him and looked at the men.
These are the people we encountered when we brought Dan Yeong-ho.
At first, when I realized that I had the same thoughts as them, I was thrilled, but after hearing about the Gangsidae Law, things became dark as if dark clouds had gathered.
A man who had been staring blankly at the paper on the floor spoke first.
“I… will… do it.”
“Hey, little brother!”
“Master Dan. Something is not right. My current wife and child were taken away by them, and I feel like nails are being driven into my head by the spells they recite every night. Don’t you remember? I prayed and prayed that I could kill at least one of them.”
“I’ll join too.”
“I’ll try it too. If I can just take one of those bastards’ balls off, there’s nothing I can’t do. I’m just touched.”
“All of you… … .”
Dan Yeong-ho lowered his head and sobbed.
But that too must be made clear.
No one would want to lose their dantian and become a zombie, living as their puppet.
I clapped my hands and cleared the air.
If the answer is set, the shorter the thought, the faster the action, the more correct it is.
“It’s decided. Then don’t waste time and memorize it. They’ll be here soon.”
Time wasted carelessly only eats away at opportunities.
The men also strengthened their resolve and recited the oath.
It was unexpected that it took longer than I expected to memorize, but everyone, down to the last person, finished memorizing it.
I put the paper back in my bosom and said.
“Once the Secret Origin Seven Sutras are triggered, there is no turning back. So, until the time comes, do not reveal it or attempt to do so.”
“Yes… … . But I guess we can’t just keep waiting forever. It’s been years and nothing has happened.”
The man named Sohyung asked in a calm tone.
The air feels heavy and hangs.
That’s right. I can’t just wait here indefinitely.
But clearly there isn’t much time left.
“Hundreds of bodies will arrive here soon.”
“A corpse… is that what you mean?”
“Donggangsi grows by eating corpses. You are destined to become Donggangsi.”
“Those words… … are for… … us… … to feed… … ugh!”
Some of the men’s faces turned pale and they retched.
The mere thought of eating a corpse with one’s own hands is an unbearable torture.
“So you won’t have to wait long. Once the corpses turn to skeletons, they will be of no use.”
So, they will definitely be punished in the near future.
Also… … since the procession is coming with their identities hidden, the fog will have to clear and the road for the carriages to pass through will have to be open for them to be transported here.
“How… … should I do this?”
“Before I spread the Great Law, I will gather you all together. Then, spread the Seven Sutras of the Secret Sect’s Origin and deal with the warriors and corpses. Even if you fail, since you have consumed the innate energy, their great undertaking will end in failure.”
Either way, I’ll die.
Everyone’s expression hardened at the indiscriminate announcement.
But no one hesitated.
“If it was something that serious, wouldn’t they try to hide it and do it more secretly?”
“That must be true. Seeing as he’s hiding it from me, he must have judged it to be that serious.”
“If you miss the timing, it could be a big problem. You might end up not even trying.”
You said little brother. I should have held you instead of Dan Yeong-ho.
I said with a snicker.
“The Huns are suspicious and self-righteous. They are also extremely loyal to their masters.”
“So wouldn’t it be more difficult? It would be impossible to persuade him. Also, if you try to find out about him in a clumsy way, your true intentions will be revealed. What are you planning to do?”
Perhaps because of what they had experienced, the believers each nodded their heads.
The Huns are that thorough.
So I.
“Do nothing.”
The believers each let out sighs mixed with questions, and Dan Yeong-ho spit out curses.
“Then how… … .”
“There isn’t just one length.”
I turned towards Biro with a smile.
“Time is up. From now on, you must never go against the will of the Heavenly Palace. Be quiet and still. Behave like obedient dogs. I will come back soon.”
Behind, the sighs of Dan Yeong-ho and the believers were loud.

However, I walked out of the rain without hesitation.

Myeonggyo Miinbong Donggung
A few days after Ma Cheon-so visited the West Palace.
The Huns were restless because their long-cherished desire would soon come to fruition.
Now that the long-awaited dragon will be created soon, how can I worry about anything else?
Perhaps that is why surveillance on Ma Cheon-so was also lax.
He just told his subordinates to check if everything was okay when they saw him passing by.
Moreover, there was no reason to worry since only reports came up saying that it would not be a problem.
But.
“It was discovered that he had been heading to a house near the Bukgung Palace for worship services for several days.”
Today, for some reason, a suspicious trend regarding Ma Cheon-so was brought up.
“It must be a coincidence.”
The Huns rebuked him firmly.
I’m not usually a fan of the word coincidence, but for now, it’s an extremely reasonable and common-sense answer.
Where is this place?
It is a beautiful peak that is completely isolated on all sides.
Even if he stays near the Bukgung Palace, what can he do?
It was just a coincidence that I was just wandering around feeling suffocated.
“When I first met Haona, he seemed very flustered.”
“Keep trying.”
“He headed to his quarters with his arms folded inside his sleeves as if he was hiding something. It was a truly unnatural sight… … .”
“You… hid your hands?”
“Moreover, the materials of the Jinshiksigui have also shown unusual signs. Originally, after the Cheonryun Inghwajiche was moved to the Bukgung Palace, there was a lot of discontent, but from one day on, they have been as quiet as the dead.”
“Are you talking about those guys who reveal their dirty nature even when a knife is put to their neck?”
“Yes, but why did that time… … .”
“It was done.”
The Huns raised their hands and looked lost in thought.
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it.
It is true that the Bukgung Palace is an important place where great undertakings are carried out. It is also true that the Cheonryun Inghwajiche that will give birth to the dragon body is located there.
One, so what?
Staying in a nearby house doesn’t open the way to get there.
Opening the gates is even more absurd.
‘That’s right. That’s ridiculous. If he were to dig the ground, that would be fine… … No way! What if the hand covered with the sleeve is dirty?’
For a moment, an unthinkable tragedy unfolded in the Xiongnu’s mind.
It’s a horrifying thing, like a little cult leader digging the ground and going to the Bukgung Palace and destroying everything.
‘Since we’ve been to the sanctuary together, it’s easy to infer that the ground is weak… … Wasn’t it the case that the leader of the cult would do unexpected things?’
Once he began to have doubts, his eyes gradually became sharper.
Wasn’t he the one who tried to poison himself through praise in the first place? Especially at that time, he had no idea about the connection with the heavenly palace.
“What should we do?”
The Xiongnu pursed his lips at his subordinate’s question.
The great undertaking is now almost over.
The more this happens, the more careful you have to be, and you have to knock on the door ten times before you go.
Then, the words that Banya had said flashed through my mind.
‘Be careful. Don’t let the leader loose and end up like me.’
The Xiongnu hardened his expression and spoke coldly.
“For the time being, do not visit Namgung during worship services and observe his movements from a distance. If you see anything unusual, report it to me immediately.”
The warrior bowed his head deeply and stepped back.
The Xiongnu leaned back and slowly lowered his eyelids.
It’s just a matter of time. It has to be that way.
“Don’t disappoint me, Your Majesty.”
Only a cold tone flowed through the palace.
* * *
Today, Dan Yeong-ho and I entered the house near Bukgung Palace at exactly the right time as usual.
His fingernails were covered in black dirt as he dug through the floor and swept the floor.
It’s a natural progression, since I’ve been doing the same thing over and over again for days.
“Phew… … .”
After finishing his work, he covered the floor again and sighed deeply.
A quick glance reveals the pervasive gloom.
“Is it because of your current wife?”
“Yes, well… … that’s right.”
I heard from the West Palace that there has been no news from the current wife and child for several days.
“Was it really that precious?”
“If you were born as a general and cannot protect even a woman and a child, wouldn’t you feel frustrated and let down?”
“It’s not like I’m feeling emotional.”
“How many times have we endured hard times together as believers, yet you say such cruel things?
“The political party has been kidnapped.”
“Oh my, I shouldn’t have said that. Ugh… … .”
I shrugged my shoulders at the sight of him grumbling.
But I’m still curious and uneasy.
Clearly, the only enemy I saw in Yangjakak’s memories was the one with a woman’s body.
It’s not like a fool would have searched the Miinbong thoroughly, but if they don’t turn into zombies as I planned and just die… … then I, Ma Cheon So, have lost her.
That’s something I can’t tolerate in my plans.
“There’s no need to worry too much. I’ll definitely find it.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
It’s true.
You can’t leave such a risk factor in the mountains.
We need to find it and get rid of it.
He nodded with a smile.
Right then.
Sssssss.
I heard a noise outside. I bent down and listened, and I heard footsteps. There were more than one or two.
“Little Master… … !”
At Dan Yeong-ho’s urgent tone, I covered my mouth with my index finger and hid myself against the wall.
Then, after taking a few deep breaths, he carefully opened the door.
I looked left and right. There was no one. Dan Young-ho and I took four or five steps as naturally as possible.
But at that very moment, a low, sinister voice came out from behind me.
“Where have you been?”
“100 million……!”
He frowned. Dan Yeong-ho seemed to realize his mistake, so he tried to keep his mouth shut and lowered his head.
As I slowly turned around, I saw the Huns standing there with an evil smile.
“I felt bored with just staying in one place, so I looked around for a moment. But wasn’t it time for worship?”
“Your breathing is rapid and your eyes are wavering. You look like a child who has been caught doing something wrong.”
“If you weren’t hiding something, what would you have found out? Well, that’s good, since I had something to do with you anyway.”
“At this hour when the sun is setting? From what I can see… … This is neither the South Palace nor the East Palace. Above all… … .”
The Huns looked at me and Dan Young-ho with cold eyes.
To be exact, it’s our hands.
I carried the backpack on my back, and Dan Young-ho put his arms around me and put them in his sleeves.
“Take out your hand and see.”
“Why should I do that?”
“You should do that.”
You can tell at a glance that he doesn’t seem like he’s going to back down.
The surrounding area was already lined with Heavenly Palace warriors, as if surrounding them.
Dan Yeong-ho looked at me with longing eyes.
“If you have any difficulties… … I will help you.”
As soon as the Huns nodded, Papa Pat! The warriors flew around Duan Yonghu in an instant, grabbed his hands from the left and right, kicked his legs, and made him kneel.
“Ouch! These little bastards… … !”
Dan Yeong-ho, in a miserable position, tried hard to clench his fist, but it was no use.
The tips of his dark fingers were completely exposed to the merciless evil power of the warriors.
“There’s still dirt on it. You probably haven’t been playing around at this late hour.”
I kept my mouth shut at the Xiongnu’s sarcasm.
Then he immediately turned his gaze to the house we had come out of.
The tension was palpable, and he walked past me.
“Hunnu.”
“Your Majesty, you are not answering.”
All I did was call your name.
The Xiongnu opened the door wide with a cold look in his eyes.
I called him back again and turned him around.
“Are you the one who is feeling anxious and uneasy? What are you doing now?”
“… … It’s nothing. I just want to make sure of something.”
“It sounds like you’re doubting me. I’m not very happy about that.”
The Huns looked at me coldly, then silently gave instructions to the surrounding warriors.
Then, the heavenly palace warriors rushed into the house.
I said with a laugh.
“As a fellow lion, if you doubt me like this… … can I take it that you have no intention of being together?”
When Kang-su was about to fall, the Huns frowned and looked at the North Palace.
Then he spoke to me again.
“I heard that you were staying around here during worship services recently. I thought about it carefully. Why were you here? Then this thought occurred to me. Could it be that you were digging a stairway to the palace… … . The astute young cult leader would already know that the ground is weak. Isn’t this a completely reasonable suspicion?”
“Haha! I was digging a stairway to that palace? How funny.”
Unlike me, who spoke with a smile, Dan Yeong-ho was fidgeting and biting his dirty fingernails.
The Huns looked at my and Dan Yeong-ho’s reactions alternately, then laughed with their gums sticking out.
“Then can I check it again?”
“As you wish. But, keep this in mind. If you disagree… … I’m leaving this place.”
The Xiongnu’s eyes narrowed and an eerie aura poured out.
Tension filled the surroundings, and the Huns’ mouth slowly opened.
“Get behind.”
Clack, clack. The warriors of the Heavenly Palace began to tear off the floorboards.
Crash! It shattered even the bricks that formed the support.
“Uh… … what?”
There was only a flat, flat piece of land, and no sign of rain.
Finally, all the panels were removed, and the Huns’ faces were filled with a mixture of relief and despair.
“Keuheuk… … Haha!”
I finally burst out laughing.
