Chapter 143 – Martial Arts District (4)

A babbling stream with clear water.

A woman sat there and brushed her waist-length hair.

Her hair, flowing through her fingers, seemed to be soft just by looking at it.

But the woman’s complexion was not good.

He let out a sigh as he ran his fingers through his silver-dyed hair.

“Ha..”

I looked at my own reflection in the water.

His pale skin and red eyes were visible.

It was a beautiful appearance that everyone coveted, but I didn’t like it. A dear friend died because of the crowd who coveted this appearance.

Sureureung.

I stroked the sword he left behind. A sword that I have cherished for over 10 years. Now it felt like family, not just a weapon.

A mysterious treasured sword that maintains its own sharpness even without sharpening.

Strange letters were engraved on the handle. I even found out that the letters of the eastern country were mixed, but I couldn’t figure out what it meant.

A friend who was a powerless kid just like you. I still wondered how he created such a sword out of thin air.

Looking up at the darkened sky, she shook her head.

Thinking of a friend who has already died only hurts my heart.

Sureureung.

I took a lead and checked my hair. While I wasn’t paying attention, it started to turn silver again.

It became increasingly difficult to control the congenital yin qi.

I closed my eyes and made a fortune in Yeolyangjigong. The hot energy flowing through her blood made her white skin red.

‘It hurts..’

Beads of sweat were beading on her white skin.

“I’m sorry..”

He bit his lip slightly. I couldn’t completely hide the pain leaking out of my face.

How much time has passed

The silver light that filled the tips of her hair gradually disappeared. Only jet-black hair remained.

“Ha···”

The exhaled breath reached the riverside.

Blah blah

The water that had flowed through it just froze.

She sighed as she looked at the clothes clinging to her body. I was drenched in sweat before I knew it.

Click.

I broke the thin ice and went into the cold water to wash myself.

I looked up at the night sky as I let the sweat on my skin run down the stream.

Today, things from 10 years ago keep coming back to me.

A dear friend who died protecting her from human traffickers.

I went out of the water while stroking the unknown letters written on the handle of the sword.

Whoa!

The wind whipped around her body, gathering moisture. Water droplets condensed on the tip of my finger fell.

I made my way through the thicket in neat clothes before I knew it. Headed to camp.

The man who had been waiting by the campfire jumped up. Said with a smile.

“Sister Sohyang. A lot of trouble.”
“…”

“Haha. I’d rather be my mother. No, I will tell Master. Wouldn’t it be better if you took an elixir full of yang?”
“It’s okay.”

Sohyang shook her head. Nothing was free in this world. The same was true of the priest’s suggestion, which seemed like a good person.

If you receive the elixir, you will surely use it as an excuse to say what you want.

“Hmm.. Feel free to tell me if you want.”

He didn’t answer, but the man didn’t care.

“Then let’s go. It’s not long until Luoyang.”

***

Guesthouse again.

Siwoo said to the man who was making a dumbfounded expression.

“What are the rumors?”

The man whose mouth was open controlled his expression.

“Hmmmm… Didn’t something big happen at Moyong Sega this time?”
“A big deal?”

Moyong Sega had a bad relationship. It was the family of Mo Yong-cheol, who was killed in the warehouse of Mu-yeong Shin-tu.

The man closed his mouth and grinned. Seeing that, he called Jeomsoi.

“Adequate snacks and drinks. It will be soon.”
“Yes! I will be back soon.”

Stir-fried meat and vegetables came out quickly. It was roasted over high heat and was full of incense.

“Hum-hum..”

I nudged the bowl at the man who was bulging his nostrils.

“What about Moyong Sega?”
“Hmm..! That’s awesome. Ah… Let’s quench our thirst for a while. Kuh! Good night.”

The man, who even drank the alcohol coolly, continued.

“Didn’t it make a lot of noise about a month ago that a report from Muyoungshintu appeared? Although it was empty.”
“It did.”

“The swordsman appeared there and cut Mo Yong-cheol with a single knife…”
“For a moment. Day check?”

The man who was quickly eating the meat stopped holding his chopsticks.

“Huh? Don’t you know this? Where are you in the mountains?”
“I recently did some training in the mountains. Anyway, what is the daily inspection?”

“Hmm… I heard that Mo Yong-cheol summoned a bizarre monster. Do you know this?”
“I heard that. However?”

“I heard that youkai alone are over 10 feet tall… Ah, this is different for each person. Some say it’s over 100. Not sure. Anyway, a big monster appeared.”

The man who drank a glass of alcohol seemed to be out of breath and continued.

“I heard that a man pulverized the monster with a single stroke. People are calling him the sage swordsman. What harm did he stab me? Anyway… The Murim people are bluffing even to me.”

“It’s a four-day inspection…”

It seemed to be his own story. The first nickname that came up was a four-day inspection. Not bad.

“Anyway. Mo Yong-cheol is not the only one who died. Even though he’s dead, won’t that responsibility go away?”

“What is it?”

“Of course, it would be normal to designate Moyong Sega as a Moorim official…”

The man who swallowed the food with a gulp continued.

“However! I don’t know what tricks the Moyong Sega did, but the Murim Meng intervened. But. There will never be a war from their point of view. Unfortunately.”

Said to the man who clicked his tongue.

“Sorry? Wouldn’t it be nice not to go to war?”

“Hey, young people don’t have dreams. Shouldn’t a war happen to make a name for itself? A hero cannot fly in a peaceful place! If you were born as a man, wouldn’t you have to live with three concubines?”

“It’s a three-year-old concubine… That’s right.”
“Hmm..! I know something! It’s been a long time since I wanted to create a Moorim feat. It’s unfortunate. Anyway, the Murim menace are tired of peace.”

When I thought about Moyong’s family, I remembered the promise I made with Seo Ji-yu.

Thievery.

If I was going to do it, it was good to rob the guys I didn’t like.

‘Moyong Segara… Just right.’

Mo Yong-cheol was already dead, but his beating of Seo Ji-yu was still in my memory.

The responsibility for not properly educating their children was to be borne by the family. And it was even better because it was such a big place that rumors spread.

“Where was Moyong Sega located?”
“Huh? Don’t you know that Are you in Liaoning?”
“Hello…?”

Liaoning was too far away.

It was almost midfield. It was annoying to go all the way there to steal. He frowned and muttered.

“Yo-hyeong is too far…”
“You. Do you have any business at Moyong Sega?”

“It is not. I just want to see what kind of guys they are.”
“Heh heh.. Then, look at the top of the hair and be satisfied. It happens to be here in Luoyang.”
“Oh… Is that so? Where are you?”

The man nodded and pointed to one side.

“If you follow the road there, the largest building is the Moyong Sangdan. Carefully. There are not one or two people who hated them and disappeared without even knowing mice or birds.”

***

Siwoo stretched out.

I ate well and rested well for several days.

He left the inn while operating Wolyeongshin.

It is noon, when the sun is at its highest.

‘I like me.’

He looked up and saw the blue sky. The bright sun was warm.

It was perfect weather for stealing.

I took an iron mask from my inventory and put it on his face. I was walking down the street in that state and no one paid attention.

It was Wolyoungsin’s supernormal ability. Existence itself was blurred.

I was kind of excited about stealing. My heart was pounding.

‘This is it.’

I calmed my excitement and stopped walking. In no time, we arrived at our destination.

Hair top.

Moyong Sega supported and raised the upper end. It was like their wallet.

You could tell just by looking at the gate. It was big and flashy. It was more than 4 meters high and had gold leaf on the rim.

‘It’s nice.’

I liked it. It was a place worth furry. Rumors spread only when you rob a place like this.

The two gatekeepers stood there with bored faces. One of them yawned.

“Huh.. I heard that martial arts become stronger when you go to your parents’ house, is that true?”
“I’m sure that’s the case? I will eat the elixir… And learn martial arts.”

“I want to go quickly too.”
“I just want my shift to end soon. I miss cherry blossoms already.”

The yawning man stopped.

“Apricot? Could she be the maid who cooks?”
“Uh.”

“Huh.. Your talent is good too. He was quite arrogant…”
“Hehe! Those bitches are so easy.”

“Uh, how did you…?”
“Kick.. Of course I can’t tell you for free.”

“Ah, don’t do that. I’ll buy you a drink after it’s over.”

Siwoo clicked his tongue. I didn’t notice even though I was staring right in front of him.

“Hey.”
“What, what! Mask..?”

I was startled and said to them who grabbed the sword.

“Your work attitude is very messy.”
“Who, who are you..?”

The gatekeeper hesitated. He seemed intimidated by his imposing attitude.

“Sup..”

I took a deep breath. I gave strength to my abs and shouted with all my energy.

“It’s a thief!!!”

The great gates swayed. A voice filled with inner energy resounded in all directions.

A loud sound that I couldn’t believe came from a human body.

The gatekeepers grabbed their ears and staggered.

“Ah, a thief? Where!?”

I saw the guys looking around hurriedly and threw out my fist.

Kwaaang!!

The government’s main gate was shattered in one blow.

The gatekeepers opened their mouths. I was looking at the smashed gate with a stupid face.

“I am a thief.”
