Episode 93: The Twelve So-myeongs
The senior respectfully handed me a brush while holding an inkstone full of ink from behind.
I was lost in thought for a while, silent.
As my senior said, the Somyeong Palace up until now has flowed without any rules or systems. In short, it was a time of reincarnation and running without any plan.
But if you want to change the school, it’s only natural that you have to be prepared from here.
‘The owner of the annex… … .’
I took the brush, drew a couple of strokes on the inkstone, and then wrote the words on a blank sheet of paper.
《The Twelve So-myeong-dang》
Daily wage earner Yaul Tak
Lee Dang-ju Black O
The three lords of the blood
Han So-so, the owner of Sadang
Odangju Danjeonghak
The six lords of the east
Seven Dangju Black Shadow
Paldangju
“Let’s start here. Regardless of status or martial arts achievements, the owners of the separate buildings are in the order in which they entered the Somyeong Palace. So there’s no need to complain. The order doesn’t mean rank. However… … .”
I stopped talking and looked around at everyone gathered there.
Murong Hui, Han Xiao, Zhuge Tong, Hyeol Lao, Dong Fang Yul, they all listened with serious eyes without any disagreement.
“All the heads of the clan are family members recognized by me, Ma Cheon So. Therefore, you must never point your swords at each other, and you must not distinguish between superiors and inferiors, following the example of the Three Great Commanders and the Five Great Commanders. Also, I do not approve of pointing your swords at people who have not learned martial arts.”
The waters below will change only when the upper waters become clear. The faded teachings of the famous religion are reawakened from the palace of the famous.
It all starts with the owner of the annex, the Twelve Party Leader.
“There are those who already have families or have their own clans. If you are the head of the clan, you may freely increase the clans. For those who cannot attend, you will pass it on to Han So So.”
“Yeah.”
With this, the first framework of the Somyeong Palace was established.
I didn’t want to separate out the roles, but at Han So-so’s and Sunbae’s insistence, I gave some people additional roles.
The princesses were appointed as guardians of the doctrine.
In military terms, Zhuge Tong.
I assigned Hwi and Hyul-ra as my escorts.
“Kekeke, it looks good. If anyone gets hurt, just bring them their severed arm and I’ll fix it up.”
Dongbang had a satisfied expression on his face, and Yul-tak blew his nose into the wind.
I told them to hurry and bring in the next guest.
This is Princess Sangjae, Cheon Semin.
“Your Majesty!”
With a cheerful tone, Yul-tak entered the So-myeong-jeon with a big smile. Cheon Se-min, who was looking around with bewildered eyes, was also there.
“I brought you here.”
“Well done.”
“Haha. What a big deal this is.”
Yul-tak, like everyone else, went to find my place.
Thanks to that, Cheon Se-min, who was standing alone in the center of the shrine, showed his anxiety and shouted in a panicked tone.
“W, what is this… …! Gosh! Why is Han So So here? To the East… … and you, old man? Where the hell are you! Blood! Why are you here? Come here quickly!”
It looks like I have a lot to explain… … . I scratched the corner of my eyebrow and nodded to the large paper next to me as if I was annoyed. Just look at it.
“What, what is that! What is that! The 12th So-myeong-dang… …?”
“Cheon Se-min.”
When I call him softly, he looks back and forth between me and the local area with his pupils shaking dangerously. Do you understand the situation?
“It was hard to get here.”
“Wh, what are you talking about!”
“You all know that. Let’s not act so shamefully when we know each other.”
“Ugh, ugh-!”
A golden light emanates from his body as he looks around. Do you think you can escape from here with martial arts?
“Keep that internal energy safe. If you come out… …you’ll die.”
Gugugugu-!
As he blurted it out carelessly, Hyulra and Mo Yonghui and Han Soso’s body erupted with an unbearable momentum.
This is the spirit of three masters who have reached the pinnacle of their craft.
I can’t handle it either. There’s no way Cheon Se-min can endure it.
“Th, these guys… …? They set a trap and pushed me in!”
“Someone bring you here. You came here on your own.”
“You’ve been secretly plotting a conspiracy here!”
“Are you listening to me?”
“So then… … it wasn’t that there was a mastermind behind the small cult, but that it was the dark curtain itself!”
I know very well that your family has a history of talking to themselves, but I can’t listen to it anymore.
“Han So So.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Just put it away.”
“Is that so?”
Yes. As I slightly nodded my head, Han So-so’s hand radiated a cold white aura and poured out murderous intent.

“Hey, wait! Blood. What are you doing? Stop that bitch right now! Hurry up! Am I going to die?!”
Cheon Se-min’s urgent cries were colorless as Hyeol-ra looked up and down with indifferent eyes. His expression of pitifulness was clear.
“Your Majesty, you still haven’t come to your senses. If you have eyes, look straight ahead. Can’t you see my name written there?”
When Hyul-ra pointed to the local area, Cheon Se-min tightly closed his eyes and then looked at the list of So-myeong-sib-dang again.
“No. That can’t be. I can’t see it! I can’t see it! So hurry and save me!”
“You only see what you want to see, and only hear what you want to hear. This is your limit.”
At Hyulra’s words, Cheon Semin fell to his knees on the floor.
If you look closely, it seems like the reason Yul-Cheon kept him alive until now is simple… … .
“Ugh… … Now, wait! Then what about my belongings?”
“I’ve moved it inside. Don’t worry. I’ll put it to good use.”
“no!”
“Okay.”
“No! It’s all mine!”
“Hasn’t he been listening to me since a while ago?”
“Yes, but he’s not even looking at me.”
Yul-tak answers indifferently. It makes me even angrier for no reason. He frowns and raises his hand towards Han So-so. Cheon Se-min shouts in an urgent tone.
“would!”
“what.”
“Ugh… … . Now I understand. So Myung Palace was the mastermind. He must have grown so powerful to cause discord between me and Yal Yu Cheon!”
“That guy is real.”
“would!”
Are you kidding me? I bit my lip and looked at him indifferently with a crooked posture.
I can hear the abacus being tapped in my head from here. Phew, good.
“… … This is the last time. If you talk nonsense one more time, you will never see the light of day again.”
“… … There’s only one reason you brought me here. It’s to suggest that empty Paldangju over there!”
Yeah, no.
“Send it out.”
“yes.”
Han So-so raised the corners of her mouth and walked toward the center.
“Now, wait a minute! Listen, Young Master. We are not comrades with the same enemy! How about making a deal with me?”
At the word deal, I raised my hand to stop Han So-so, then slightly raised the tip of her chin to tell her to continue.
Then, Cheon Se-min continued speaking calmly, with the corners of his lips raised in a more stable tone.
“I thought it was a rabbit hole, but it turned out to be Yongdamhohyeol (龙潭虎穴)… … I admit my mistake. I didn’t know you would be quietly building up your strength like this.”
“Just business.”
“I don’t want that guy to become a cult leader either. I will cooperate in catching him.”
“Isn’t a deal supposed to be made when both parties have the same level of satisfaction? I think it would be enough without you. Of course, you never know. If you knew what I wanted to hear.”
“What are you curious about?”
“How much money have you sent to Yalulcheon so far?”
“Ugh… … Why are you picking at that painful wound again?”
“say it.”
“You’ve taken five percent of my monthly profit this year. You son of a bitch.”
It was a shocking statement. The profits of Sangjae Palace were so great that they could feed Cheonsan.
But you took five of them.
There is definitely something there.
“Wait a minute. Then, how much should we offer to Gwangmyeong Palace…?”
“Of course it decreased. It was taken away as soon as it came in.”
“Are you saying that you embezzled the money that was supposed to go to the believers?”
“It was stolen! How sweet it was to be roasted… … I let it slide once or twice, thinking it was for the sake of the Great Heavenly Emperor, but after a couple of months of working as usual, the Oirat started to interfere with the parade.”
The picture was drawn on its own. The Blood Palace required five times more funds than before, and when that didn’t work, they even brought in the Night Watchman.
“Okay. Where did the Blood Palace spend all that money?”
“I don’t know.”
“Blood. Let it out.”
“Let go! Let go! Let go! Ah! I can figure it out!”
At the wink, Hyul-ra let go of Cheon Se-min’s collar.
Then he shouted urgently.
“Where do you think Yul-Cheon will go if Sang-Jae-Gung disappears? Now that Sal-Gung is gone, where will he go?”
He looked at Han So-so with a sinister smile. The second largest holding of funds in the Seven Grand Palaces.
Palace of Hwanhee… … .
Now that even the Salgung that was my backbone has disappeared, there is no reason to hesitate.
Cheon Se-min spat out harsh words as if asking when he had acted like an idiot since the start of the transaction.
“You’d think it was the Palace of Hwanhee. You’re wrong. He’ll go to the marketplace. That would be bigger than someone who’s in a hurry to get money right away searching through the castle.”
Subong’s market.
It is a place that feeds countless believers in Cheonsan. No matter how urgent the transfer is, it is impossible for it to go all the way there… … .
“Little Leader… … Don’t try to reason with him. He’s a guy who doesn’t care about making countless sacrifices for the one thing he wants.”
“hmm…….”
I had no choice but to stiffen my face and nod.
If what he says is true, we need to send people to the marketplace to track down those bastards.
Then you can guess where it is going.
“What do you want?”
“Since it has come to this. I will take that seat of Paldangju. Also, after the Great Heavenly Festival is over, guarantee that I will monopolize the trade between the Western Regions and Northern Yuan, which were originally owned by Sangjae Palace.”
“However, the treasures brought will be used at Somyeong Palace.”
“How much do you know about that?!”
I don’t know. But does it matter?
“Cheon Se-min. Your life is at stake, but we are merely trying to avoid the heavy rain.”
Let’s look at it indifferently. After much thought, Cheon Se-min came up with an answer.
“Ugh… … . Three times… … Ugh. I’ll give you three times.”
“Oh, okay.”
“I will buy it!”
“Six percent.”
“What, what? If we want to make a deal, we have to get closer to each other. What are you going to do if we go further away?! There’s no sense in doing business… …!”
“I’ll do it.”
“Eww!”
“Piece.”
“Oh, I get it. I get it! Arms up. Arms up, you little shit!”
“I’ll think about it. Send it out.”
“Eww! Let go! How dare you!”
I cooled my head by pressing my temples with my index fingers while Cheon Se-min was being dragged out.
“Just hold it.”
The one who broke the silence was surprisingly Han So-so, with whom they were not on good terms.
“I don’t feel like it. I don’t need it anymore.”
He is not only not upright in character, but is also busy looking out for his own interests.
It was a matter of needing money anyway. Now that I had that in my hands… … . The reason I kept making unreasonable demands was because I was upset.
“Although he may look dull, he is also a man of good sense. No one can read the market and buy valuable items better than he does. In order to grow the church, it is only natural that we need to take control of the commercial district, right?”
Sangjae Palace has been managing everything up until now, so if he disappears, things will definitely be difficult.
“Well, he’s not necessarily a bad person. He’s just a piece of shit in a bandeng, but judging by the way he takes care of his people, he takes great care of his own people.”
Following Han So-so, Ya Yul-tak also stepped forward. What the two men said was not wrong.
I took up the brush again, my mouth watering.
【Somyeongsipdang Paldangju Cheon Se-min】
“Make sure to educate them. Don’t let anything weird happen.”
Finally, the merging at Sangjae Palace was completed.
Now all that remains is the Blood Palace.
“The military should take responsibility for the palace and find out about it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Hwanhee Palace sends someone to the marketplace to monitor the movements of the Bloodless Palace. And be careful, it could be dangerous.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Everyone, don’t let your guard down until the very end, and remember one thing. This fight must end with me and Yal Yuchun. There will be more things to do to change in the future, so until then, be sure to protect yourself.”
If the power of the Ming religion is weakened, it will not be able to overcome external oppression.
You have to conserve your strength until you can change everything.
“Excuse me, Young Master. What are you going to do with Young Lady Binghwa?”
Just as I was falling into a serious resolve, Yaryul Tak woke me up to reality.
“… … Just leave it alone for now. I have somewhere to go first.”
“Again? No, how long has it been since you came here before you leave?”
“Don’t worry. It won’t be far.”
“Where are you going?”
“Cheonma Library.”
All preparations are done, now all I have to do is finish it.
There are clear limitations to the current unfinished Cheonma Shingong.
As time goes by, I am becoming more and more accustomed to the Myungyo or am I being consumed by the Heavenly Demonic Power, but a strange feeling occasionally seeps into my mind.
Moreover, Yul-Cheon will be stronger than Guyang-Ryong. So… … I need to change the Cho-Hwang-Sip-Mu-Ryu to fit the Heavenly Demonic Art, and find a martial art that fits the Holy Fire Demon Sword.
Until the Great Heavenly Festival opens.
certainly.
