Episode 327 – Martial Arts District (5)

I sat across from a handsome monk in front of a huge Buddha statue.

The monk who was admiring the surrounding scenery like me burst into laughter.

“Is it Shaolin Temple? It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. “Hey young man, I have a good drink. Would you like to have a drink?”
“···It’s done.”

This monk was a little different from those I had met so far. He didn’t repeat the same words like a doll, and he didn’t just attack someone blindly.

I narrowed my eyes and observed him.

‘···The realm is the same as mine. No, he’s slightly taller than me.’

The monk was sitting on a thick cushion, and his stomach was so thick that it folded into three layers.

The bottle of alcohol that was gently held out is returned as is.

“It’s okay if you don’t like it. “To be honest, I didn’t want to give it to you because it was a waste.”

The fat monk took a swig of his drink and let out an exclamation.

“Ha! The drink tastes good! If you are thirsty, drink, and if you are sleepy, sleep. “That is the way we live in the world.”

“···Is that the way to live life? “It’s so easy.”

“Hehe! Yes. It’s really easy. But people in the world can’t do this. While eating, you regret what happened yesterday, and you live without knowing what you want. “If I can just focus on the moment, that’s enough.”

“Hmm..”

At first, I was so dumbfounded that I laughed and then stopped. I thought he was just having a drink or something, but he said something quite convincing.

At that time, I was reflecting on the story. The monk stood up.

Huh!

He pointed his golden baton at me and said.

“Okay, if you understand, raise your sword. Stop giving useless answers. Let’s try killing each other.”

Is it really Dingjung? It is said that death and killing are easy.

“…Do we really need to fight?”

There was something that struck me and I wanted to talk about it a little more. But the monk just laughs heartily.

Haha! Young Tugui. You still haven’t understood what I said. Do you really want conversation? Don’t fool yourself! “The reason we have to fight is because you wanted it!”

“···.”

The moment I saw the monk’s clear eyes. I fully realized the function of the artifact left behind by Mokgido.

“I see.”

The iron bracelet was an object that allowed one to face the former masters. The reason I faced life and death with them was because I wanted it.

The bracelet just made room.

If he had been peaceful, he might have just answered questions. However, what I wanted was a fight to reach the police station.

Grumbling…

The silver blade came out of the scabbard and cut through the air, and the monk’s baton sparkled with brilliance.

The river passing by my cheek makes me smile.

The monk was right. I was a fighting spirit.

***

Zhuge Miryeong, who was climbing Cheongbongsan Mountain, looked at the surrounding scenery.

Weeeing-

Blue-colored bees are buzzing and flying around. It was Cheongbong, a strange bee that lives only on Cheongbong Mountain.

She seemed to be very curious so she walked around her.

Buzz buzz-

It looked like a dog that loved people as it walked away with its small eyes.

“I heard rumors, but it’s amazing to see it in person. “I think he’s very gentle after being punished.”

“…They say honey is so good for your health. “I’ll have to take it with me.”

The King of Geol responded to the carefree words of the Great Lord of the Dark Sword as if to say something.

“Sickness. Did you come to play? “Isn’t it written in your favorite regulations to do so?”

“You can’t even joke about that. ···But I heard that Cheongbong’s honey is good for stamina, are you really not going to take it?”
“···How good is it?”

She ignored the men who asked her when they had fought, and Jegal Mi-ryeong, who was seriously thinking, said,

“The legend says that a great evil was sealed in Cheongbongsan Mountain. “The center of the religious order established by the blood religion is also here. Is this really a coincidence?”

The Dark Sword Master, who was looking at the blue bee as if he was going to eat it, stopped. He said with a frown.

“Master Jinbeop. A legend is just a legend. It’s already been several hundred years since that big evil or something was sealed away. Are you really going to resurrect me? “Isn’t it too much to worry?”

“In other words, hundreds of years have passed since the blood sources were accumulated.”

“···.”

As the shocked Dark Sword Master closed his mouth, there was silence. Only the faint sound of bees flapping their wings could be heard.

Zhuge Mi-ryeong spoke softly.

“Let’s start by investigating. Could you please check if there is any unusual terrain nearby? Since it is a place where blood sources gather, there is a high possibility that there will be no plants at all or, on the contrary, it will be very lush.”

“Wait. “Let me check.”

The Dark Sword Master jumped into the sky. Tuk-tuk. He flew straight up, as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase.

Taaat.

While looking around Cheongbongsan Mountain, he came down to earth.

“There wasn’t anything particularly strange about the vegetation. Most of them are similar. However, because it is a unique terrain… Cheongbongsan Mountain itself is unique. “Looking down from above, it’s full of palm prints.”

“Yes?”

“Hmm… So, an incredibly huge palm struck this place, creating hundreds of cliffs and canyons. Do you understand?”

Zhuge Mi-ryeong asked in a slightly more serious tone.

“···If you’re a fire fighter level expert, can you do something like that?”

“Hmm?”

“If the legend of Mt. Cheongbong is true, the Great Evil eventually fought against such a being. Just in case…”

“Oh my. Master Jinbeop, are you curious about how strong the sealed giant evil is?”

“Yes···. I’m sorry if it was rude. But I think you should know.”

The dark sword leader, who had been silent, suddenly climbed onto the rock. He stared into space and listened to his voice.

“Line. I seek a quiet and accurate sword. “Perfectly controlled power does not cause unnecessary destruction.”
“Yes···?”

Geolwang, who was watching, chuckled and said.

“It means you can’t do it. Cheongbongsan Mountain is bigger than any other mountain in the country. It can easily fit into a few castles. How can you turn this entire terrain upside down? “The theory of the realm of the flower world is unreasonable.”

The Dark Sword Master frowned.

“···Hey old man. Even if it’s too much for you, it’s not for me. ···It might take about 15 days. “I can do it.”

“Wow.”

Zhuge Mi-ryeong intervened and said.

“···Let’s leave quickly. “If there aren’t any unusual places, I’ll have to search for them one by one.”

*

Two days later.

Zhuge Mi-ryeong, who was investigating various parts of Qingfeng Mountain, noticed her eyes shining.

“I found it. “I’m sure it’s that mountain.”

It looked like an ordinary rocky mountain, but it was disguised as a military base.

While examining the terrain around her, she pointed to a place.

“Could you please remove that tree and rock?”

Suddenly!

“Is this okay?”
“Yes. Next is the stone over there…”

As her instructions continued, the mountain became distorted. The flowing valley disappeared, and the lush forest turned into a wasteland.

A cave three feet high appeared in what was once a simple cliff.

“Ah! That’s the entrance-“

That time when she smiled happily.

Liquid!

Zhuge Mi-ryeong flinched and her body trembled.

“Tsk…?”

I got goosebumps at the blade I saw in front of my nose. Before I knew it, an arrow was hanging dangling. A sharp arrowhead was about to pierce her between the eyes.

The Dark Sword Master, who caught the arrow, said with a grin.

“Indeed. I’m glad you came to the right place. I really like the welcome ceremony. Master Jinbeop, can we go into that cave?”
“···Yes.”

“The presence you can feel at the entrance is all the rage! Very nice. “Let me feel the reward of learning martial arts.”

At that time, the Dark Sword Master was slowly drawing his sword. The King of Geol suddenly slapped his palm away.

Rumbling…!

The dragon roars. A dragon head made of flame swept through the cave.

“Aaaaahhh!”

The blood cult warriors who were preparing for the surprise attack were burned to death. Geolwang said to the dark sword master who frowned.

“Stop acting and go quickly. “I don’t feel very good.”
“···Tsk.”

***

“Ugh… W, where is this place?”

Kidnapped girl. Somi opened her eyes with difficulty. I woke up bouncing on the cold stone floor.

“Ah, Dad!!”

I quickly looked around, but it was a dark cave. Light shines from the stones embedded in the ceiling. Thanks to this, objects could be distinguished, but it was too dark for the young girl.

Just before she started crying she was so scared.

“Whoa! Calm down!”
“Town?!”

A handsome boy appeared from somewhere and covered her mouth.

“Shh! If you make a lot of noise, scary people will come to you! “Nod your head if you understand.”

She calmed down a little and nodded cautiously. She asked the boy in a whisper.

“Scary people…?”
“Huh. It’s not just one or two. “There are also muscular monsters as tall as I am.”

“Hi! “It’s that big?”
“It’s not a lie. “Your head will probably hit the ceiling here.”

The girl’s whole body was shaking. She wouldn’t reach her ceiling even if you doubled her size. If true, it was something closer to a monster than a person.

Gulp.

At that time when I was drooling from tension. The boy asked.

“And what is your name?”
“I am Somi…”

“Somi? That’s a cute name. Anyway, I’ve been trapped here for a while. “Let’s escape together.”

“Escape? Ugh.. Okay.”

She stopped, following her boy without question.

“Well, then why are you dressed…”

No matter how I looked at the boy’s clothes, it was strange. A dragon made of gold thread. It’s the first time I’ve seen such colorful clothes.

He didn’t seem like an ordinary person at all. Moreover, it gave me goosebumps to see him smiling happily in this situation.

The moment I hesitated without realizing it.

“Hey, I’m not fooled. Somi, you’re smarter than I thought.”
“···!”

The corners of the boy’s mouth went up as if they were torn apart.
