Episode 91 Let’s go back
Jegalmun and the others… … They appear whenever I forget. What on earth is the basis for such a story… … .
“I received urgent news that someone who poisoned you was found in Park Ho-hyeon. The military immediately summoned me. They asked me to take charge of this matter, as the leader might find out first and the ambassador might be put in trouble.”
“You took it in stride? You’re crazy, really.”
“Then what should I do? Would you have just stayed still?”
“That’s not what I meant. Revenge is good. But the problem is that military man, Jegalmun.”
At the expression on his face that said he didn’t understand English, I blurted out my frustration.
“I was secretly researching the military before I died.”
“Why?”
“It’s a well-known fact that he is a man of great ambition, but it’s also true that he works hard day and night for Maeng, so we kept it quiet. But one day, he cleverly lied to my father. It wasn’t anything special, but it was still strange.”
“Isn’t it too hasty to doubt that alone… … .”
“Yeah, so I was just investigating. Nothing else. But.”
It wasn’t really a threat to him. It wasn’t like he was digging up anything great.
but…….
“Because I’m not the only one.”
Senior, you too. Everyone is connected to him.
“What does that mean?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
If the military leader Zhuge Liang and others harmed me and sent me to a dangerous place… … . This is by no means a small matter.
But why on earth does he do such a thing? What is it that he regrets?
There are still many questions, but there is no solution right now anyway.
I swallowed my worries and asked him again.
“How is my sister…?”
“I’m doing well. We met before I came here. But I still miss my brother a lot.”
“Because I followed a lot… … .”
“Can’t we just go see each other now?”
He chuckled and lowered his head. Then he picked up the Sannibaekyuk.
Huido followed me and picked up a piece of meat, chewed it, and swallowed it. He probably couldn’t taste it, but he didn’t show it.
“… … I thought that since this was the end of the demon world, they would tear apart even the living, but this is also a place where people live.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. We know how to laugh, and we know how to cry. We even risk our lives for each other. We don’t know much yet. We make clumsy mistakes, but we change with regret.”
“… … .”
I turned my gaze out the window. The more we talked, the harder it was to make eye contact with him.
As I blankly looked outside, I saw three people running towards me from afar.
He was so happy that the corners of his mouth drew a big smile. He awkwardly raised his hand and greeted me.
“If you’re here, you should come to the palace. What are you doing there? Come down immediately!”
“Little Leader-!”
“Oh, you didn’t want to see me?”
Yul-Tak, Eul-Ha-Ryeong, and Ji-Ha-Mi. They are the ones. They are jumping around and waving their hands. They came out to greet me.
“… …Your family?”
“Yeah. They’re good guys.”
“Quantum angle.”
“uh?”
“You have no intention of going back to the blind.”
He bit the flesh inside his mouth hard at Hwi’s words. His heart sank as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
But I don’t want to avoid it anymore.
I looked up at him and answered firmly.
“There are things I have to do. When everything is over. When a little more time passes… … . I don’t know about then, but right now, I am. The head of the sect, Ma Cheon So.”
“… … You’re serious.”
“Are you disappointed?”
“Very.”
“Do you really have to admit it so quickly?”
A cruel man. But… … It’s only natural. I am the son of the leader of the martial arts world and the leader of the Wind Dragon.
How can it sound good to live as a group of traitors? Be resentful. Be disappointed. Chew me to your heart’s content.
“but.”
As I was drinking alcohol one after another with a gloomy heart, Hwi’s soft voice rang out.
“What difference would it make if I became a zombie? If I return to Sega in this state, I’ll be lucky if I don’t get buried.”
“hey…….”
“No matter where you are, I know you won’t do anything wrong. Don’t worry… I’ll be by your side. What can I do? Even if I’m a traitor, I’m still your close friend.”
“That crazy guy… … .”
“Enough with the gloomy talk. Shouldn’t you go see your new house?”
Anyway, you are the one who makes people feel sorry and thankful the most. I tried to smile and stood up from my seat with strength.
“Let’s go. You’ll be shocked when you see how successful your friend is here. Take three deep breaths and come back.”
“Breathing requires a heart.”
“Phew! Then hold your breath and follow me.”
“Okay.”

Hwi and I smiled and left Myeongchunru.
The three people who came out to greet me ran over and greeted me noisily.
Let’s go back.
To the palace of Somyeong.
* * *
A night when darkness has fallen deeply.
The not-so-spacious room created a strange atmosphere.
First, the pure white walls on all sides are splendidly engraved with unique patterns that are not easily seen in the Central Plains.
The high ceiling was wide open and the constellations were clearly visible.
Inside, a long bookcase of unknown purpose was emitting a dreamy, multi-colored light.
In addition, five intricately carved wooden dolls stand on top of it.
The positions of the dolls were different, but at first glance, they seemed to be running towards the finish line.
The most surprising thing was its shape.
“I had the highest expectations for you… … . I won’t make excuses for being so easygoing towards an opponent who is always focusing on one thing at a time. Fate is such a cruel and funny thing.”
The one shrouded in darkness dropped the doll in the lead under the table.
The sight of him falling with both hands stretched out toward the ceiling looks like someone falling into the abyss and asking for salvation.
A pretty child in a nightgown. The fallen doll was clearly Guyangryong.
“You should be able to show your true colors by now, but you’re still cowering. How long will you be able to hide your sharp-tongued nature like that?”
His hand then reached the doll that was farthest behind. It was the only one in the shape of a woman. The doll remained in place without moving or falling to the floor.
“Now all that’s left is… …you three.”
The voice came to mind. It was understandable.
The three dolls placed at the very front.
Blood Princess Yaulcheon.
The leader of the small group, Ma Cheon So.
Hongraksa Temple in Iljang-ro.
On the surface it may seem like just a game, but anyone who knows the situation will be shocked.
Those who controlled the famous school were dancing in his hands.
They sat side by side without anyone knowing who was in front.
He hesitated for a moment about what to grab, then he grabbed the doll in the middle, the Iljangro Hongraksa, and lifted it up with three fingers from the head.
“It looks like you’ve stopped, but in the end, you’re still ahead. How wise. Did your desire lead you here?”
Thump! His hand landed sharply on the prize. It was the closest distance to the finish line. It was literally a one-point difference.
“You never know until it’s over. I never thought your actions, which I thought were over a long time ago, would make me this happy.”
He brought the young sect leader Ma Cheon-so and the bloodless princess leader Yeol-Cheon face to face.
“Just wait a little longer. We’ll meet soon.”
His unidentified voice echoed throughout the confined space.
* * *
The fall of the palace.
Absence from the Great Heavenly Ritual at Hongraksa Temple.
Cheonsan was heated up by these two pieces of news.
The unexpected change in the political situation just before the Myeonggyo Daecheonje was enough to surprise everyone.
of course.
I was astonished for a completely different reason.
“Are you crazy?”
“Don’t you like it? I thought it was more realistic than Gwangmyeongjeon.”
“Is it an underground city? It’s too big.”
When I entered the Somyeong Palace, I was already quite surprised by the vastness of the outer perimeter.
Although there were only twelve separate buildings and one main building where I stayed, the space was expanded to include a guest house and a training ground on either side.
Up to this point, it was fine. Rather, it was too modest up until now. No matter what, he was a small cult leader. Despite the loud noise, I didn’t think it was anything special.
But as I walked along the path behind the bedroom, I realized that you have to peel all the way to the bottom of the iceberg to see it.
A summoning hall that seems to summon even a monster. A library of light that seems to have all the books in the world. A warehouse filled with countless gold and silver treasures. Countless forks in the road that lead nowhere.
It was too much, too much. Is this the Somyeonggung or the Underground Daemyeonggung?
“It’s not even finished yet, and you’re already surprised. Isn’t it too early?”
“Is this Illa? Are we Ganja? How far should we dig the ant hole? Why, why don’t we go all the way to the Murim Alliance?”
“If you just give me time.”
Senior Zhuge Tong smiled slyly and lowered his head. Let’s not talk anymore. That guy might actually do it if you tell him to.
“But… … . Who is the person next to you?”
The senior’s gaze turned to Mo Yong-hui, who was standing next to me.
The two people’s eyes meet sharply.
Wrinkles that make you look like you’ve aged for decades.
The image I remembered was nowhere to be found, and I didn’t recognize my senior, who was standing right in front of me.
“Jangshi.”
“okay.”
Even after hearing the answer, the senior just glared as if he was examining an interesting toy.
“You are an unpleasant person.”
“You’re pretending to be alive even though you’re dead.”
“It’s as easy as turning a crippled person into a dead person.”
“If it was that easy, why didn’t you just live instead of dying? Hehe.”
A tingling sensation leaked out from Hwi’s body.
“Both of you, stop. We’ll continue to be together from now on, so let’s say goodbye little by little. Why is Somyeonggung so noisy?”
Arriving at Somyeonggung Palace, I told him why I came here without even saying hello.
The palace I entered was so crowded that I felt dizzy.
It was not uncommon to see people waving their hands while holding a dumpling in their mouths, or carrying a carrying pole on their backs.
“Before that… … the Great Heavenly Emperor is approaching.”
“I know. It’s the end of next month.”
As I spoke calmly, the senior nodded and quickly brought up the main topic.
“Gu Yang-ryong was easily dealt with because the Young Master listened to my advice.”
“What advice? You didn’t give me any support at all. Didn’t you want me to die?”
“Haha. It was just a belief. Now that even Hongraksa has declared that they will not attend, the laypeople are certain that Yulcheon will be the next leader.”
“It’s surprising that the elders have stepped back. What happened?”
“They say that Yal Yu-cheon himself moved it.”
“There must have been a lot of deaths.”
Bitterness seeped in. War drives countless people to death.
And compared to the bloody storm that will blow across Cheonsan in the future, it will be just a joke until now.
“Unfortunately, the idea didn’t come to fruition.”
“Does that make sense? You just backed down so easily?”
“It’s one of two things. Either the Blood Palace’s power was that strong… or Hongraksa had other intentions.”
“Nothing good will come of it.”
“No. It’s a good thing that the Presbyterian Church has declared its non-participation.”
“Why?”
“The Presbyterian Church is gone, so it is a dead stone. Of the remaining seven great palaces, the Hwanhee Palace, the Geomdan Palace, the Sangjae Palace, and the Dokgoe Palace are supporting it, so wouldn’t it be like entering the tiger’s mouth from the Hyeolmu Palace’s perspective? So, it would be up to the younger cult leader to rise above the cult leader.”
“That’s just for show. I have to compete with Yal Yucheon anyway.”
“That’s also the responsibility of the young sect leader. Hehe.”
But this human.
“How did the salgung go?”
“Thank you for taking good care of me, I won’t be able to use my power for a while. I’m worried that no trace of Guyangryong has been found.”
“He’s definitely dead.”
“It is possible that among the dozens of martial arts that Guyangryong learned, there were some that were cremated after his death.”
He frowned and met Hwi’s eyes. Gu Yang-ryong… is alive?
