Chapter 229 – Chapter 46 (4)

“No, you said you came later than we, who started from Gangseo, within reach if you tipped over?”

Jincheon thought that Jeong Mu-maeng had already arrived and was somewhere.

However, it was strange no matter how much I thought about it, that it took a little over a week to arrive later than the Northern Heavenly Palace.

“I think you had all sorts of meetings internally.”

At that time, Seo Yu-ran, who was no different from a high-ranking member of the Jeongmu-maeng, opened his mouth as if he was pitiful.

“Despite being an alliance, when everyone does not have to worry deeply, such as the invasion of the Demonic Cult or an important issue, the seams attached to each other are strong. But…”

Seo Yu-ran was wearing the uniform of the Jeongmu-maeng, but he continued talking when he saw the procession of warriors from different factions.

“Other than that, it’s too slow. One faction’s representative says one word, another says another, and another replies to it. When you have a meeting like this, it takes too long to make a decision. I’m not kidding, it’s Bob. It will take a day to decide what to eat for one meal.”
“Hey, the meeting of the Jeongmu-maeng was like that.”

Lim Ha-yeon nodded as if it was the first time she had seen Seo Yu-ran criticize the political and military alliances like this.

If she was so outspoken about it, it was understandable that the Prime Minister had finally made a decision and showed up at the martial arts tournament.

“Then… Wait a minute.”

Jin-Chun wondered if he could see Hong Seol-Lin, so she got in between the soldiers watching the procession.

“Let’s go in. Let’s go in for a while. Let’s go in~”

Digging between the soldiers, Jincheon, who headed to the front row where he could see the procession, stuck his head out and looked at the warriors of the Jeongmu League.

‘I think I’m already halfway there… Is it too late?’

At that time, when she was slightly sullen, wondering if she was too late,

“Hey, look over there. It’s Mu Hee-ryong.”
“Moo Hee-ryong Hong Seol-lin? Damn it. Her real beauty is astounding.”

Somewhere noisy, I heard the conversation of the warriors who were evaluating Mu Hee-ryong’s beauty.

When she turned her head toward the back of the ranks, which was the direction of the conversation, she could see Seol-Lin Hong, dressed in a luxurious yet easy-to-move outfit, with a spear she had made and her hair tied tightly with a light pink hair tie.

-Sullin-ah.-

She started rolling her eyes around when she suddenly heard the full tone of her familiar voice.

-Face. Here.-

Jincheon raised her arm and announced his position through her telephony.

– Jincheon! No, should I call you the god of luck now?-
– Hey. The title you should call me has already been decided.
-Yeah, that’s right. Honey.-

The two smiled as they met eyes.

– I’ll be waiting for you at a restaurant near here. Come out if you can.-
-It will take some time, is that okay?-
– Of course it’s fine. I’m waiting for my wife-
– Pooh. A man like you is still the same.

Even though Seol-Lin Hong got the nickname of Shin-Ryong of Pung-Woon, she still painted a hearty smile at Jin-Chun’s appearance.

-By the way, who is the Six Beauty Goddess? Hyewoon-unnie is like that, but what about the other girls?-

In an instant, her expression hardened.

It’s fun to meet you, and this is this.

-Uh… I’ll let you know that too.-
-I will not forgive you for running away.-
-I’ll tell you in advance, but it’s better to prepare your mind beforehand.-
-What kind of women… No, I’ll listen later.-

Hong Seol-rin passed the spot where Jin-cheon was, and after checking Jin-cheon’s face with a last glance, she went back to Mu Hee-ryong of the Jeongmu-maeng.

And, there was someone who wondered why she glanced as if she was checking on someone.

‘I think Sullin just saw someone over there.’

He was Hong Jin-dae, who chose to move on two legs with other warriors even though he could ride a carriage.

Even though Hong Jin-dae is in a considerable position, he deliberately chose this option to create his own atmosphere that is not authoritative and friendly to the warriors.

‘It’s just that there are people who look similar. Because if there are so many people, there must be a few people who look similar to the people he used to know.’

Since there were so many people, he assumed that he had seen a similar face and took it lightly.

However, his true worries did not end there.

‘By the way, ‘something’ just needs to be completed… I don’t know what that ‘something’ is…’

Hong Jin-dae was recalling the image of someone else in Hong Seol-lin.

‘Shin Chae-young…’

She is the daughter of an unknown samurai family, but she is a woman named Shin Chae-young, who has great talent.

When blood was boiling in his twenties, Hong Jin-dae, the second son of Hong’s head, experienced the martial arts with his older brother, the eldest son, holding a spear.

She and she were the daughter of an unnamed samurai family, but she happened to meet Shin Chae-young, who was leaving for Moorim alone to revitalize her family, and ended up hanging out together.

The two brothers began to regard Shin Chae-yeong, who had her outstanding talent, as her rival, and at the same time as her opposite sex.

It was probably after half a year had passed since then.

Hong’s eldest son and her second son fell in love with her.

‘I first proposed, but… She already had someone appointed.’

Hong Jin-dae, who came to know her own heart, confessed her love to Shin Chae-young, but Shin Chae-young rejected Hong Jin-dae’s love and chose Hong Jin-dae as her older brother.

Perhaps it was from then.
That she came to hate her older brother whom she admired.

But his misfortune continued.
She died while Shin Chae-yeong gave birth to her daughter Hong Seol-rin.

Hong Seol-lin’s father also cried out in sorrow at the shock, but Hong Jin-dae, who felt vicarious satisfaction with Shin Chae-young’s happiness, seemed to have collapsed.

‘But if it’s that child…’

After several years passed, Hong Jin-dae, who saw Hong Seol-rin’s face, felt her heart thump without realizing it.

He saw the face of Shin Chae-young in the young Seol-lin Hong.

Hong Jin-dae’s older brother also pampered Hong Seol-lin to see her wife’s face, but Hong Jin-dae felt a sticky darkness.

‘Her soul is with that child!’

Since she died giving birth to a child, she fell under the delusion that her soul had also entered her child.

His sticky darkness began to materialize even more, and in the end, he even thought of raising Hong Seol-rin as her ideal type and then making her his wife.

In the meantime, he joined hands with Pacheonhoe, who noticed his darkness, and destroyed the Hong family.

This is because as long as the Hong family existed, he could not make Hong Seol-lin, who would be protected by the Hong family, his wife.

‘Now, a little more needs to be completed. But I don’t know what this bit is.’

Hong Jin-dae, who is projecting Shin Chae-young from Hong Seol-rin, wanted to get the Shin Chae-young he loved at the time.

That’s why he induced them to increase their martial arts skills and made them maintain their beauty.

His appearance and martial arts are all perfect, but something very small but important is missing.

If you are like others, you will not be able to understand.

In fact, even the people of the Pacheonhoe did not understand.

However, Hong Jin-dae, who wants the perfect Shin Chae-young whom he loved, agonizes even today and compares Shin Chae-young then and Hong Seol-lin now.

“Im here.”

The place of the martial arts competition became even more noisy as the procession of the Bukcheongung and Jeongmu-maeng entered.

A group of people appeared there.

It was a group of several young samurai and one old man, and it was clear that they were shamans, judging from the fact that they were wearing the crowns used by Taoists on their heads.

The shamans had already arrived, but there was a reason why they came late.

“How are you? Do you feel a special aura?”

Among the young, non-partisan practitioners, a somewhat older practitioner asked, and the old man opened his mouth.

“I can feel it from this side. It must be in this city.”
“Oh oh.”
“At las.”

Everyone was looking for something, and when the old man said that he must be in this city, everyone’s faces brightened.

“But…”

The problem is that something is left behind.

“The Thousand Killer is also here.”
“Unbelievable…”
“No, maybe it’s natural… If it’s something like this, all the warriors would have gathered.”
“Umm… I’m sure it is.”

They were shamanic ascetics who were moving separately to find Jamiseong.

Cheongyeon Jin-in, who can read the heavenly spirit, knew that the Cheonsalseong and Zamiseong had awakened somewhere, but thought that there would be no big problem as the energy of the Cheonsalseong decreased and the Zamiseong increased.

However, the energy of the Cheonsalseong suddenly grew a few months ago and began to match that of Jamiseong.

Cheongyeon Jin-in, who was afraid of the sudden increase in energy of the Cheonsalseong, suggested finding Jamiseong.

However, with the passage of time, in the shaman faction, which focused on martial arts rather than magic, many people who could read the heavenly qi disappeared, and those who did not know how to read the heavenly qi did not know the seriousness of the situation and did not provide proper support.

Cheongyeon Jin-in, while weeping at the appearance of the shamans who had become a Moorim group, gathered those who followed his words and accompanied them on the journey to find Jamiseong.

‘You have to find Jamiseong and train it. If we can’t stop the Celestial, a great disaster will come.’

It is recorded in the history of Murim that numerous bloody events occurred by the Celestial Star.

However, the gap between what I saw in the records and what I experienced in person was bigger and wider than I thought.

Although the upper echelons of the shaman faction acknowledged the existence of the Celestial, they thought that even in the worst case, they could kill the Celestial because there was Dokgo, the first generation in the world.

Growl–

At that time, a rumbling sound echoed from the cultists’ stomachs.

“Let’s fill the stomach first.”
“Yes, yes.”

Having traveled for a long time, they had eaten all their food before coming here, so they were starving for a whole day.

That’s why the young Taoists cheered at the word to fill their stomachs, but did not show it on the outside.

Although they could clearly see their true intentions to Cheongyeon Jinin.

“Oh, this place is full.”

Even though it was not mealtime, the restaurant was full.

It must be proof that various Murim people are coming here at various times.

“By the way, what the heck is Dokgosega thinking?”
“Perhaps it’s something I want to let the world know once again.”
“You want to inform?”
“That they are the best in Moorim. I want to put meaning in the fact that they have been quiet for over 10 years.”

Cheongyeon Jin-in was worried about the behavior of Dokgo family while answering the questions of young Taoists.

‘How far will the Dokgo family try to pursue strength?’

It is natural for Murim people to pursue strength, but the strength of Dokgo family feels like it was too much.

They have the value that it doesn’t matter what they do as long as they become strong, because those who have this value do more and more radical things.

“Oh, it’s empty here.”
“I’m glad.”

After seeing the restaurant full several times, the shamanist practitioners, who moved deep inside, found an empty restaurant.

The practitioners of the Mudang sect took their seats and ordered several cheap but hearty vegetable dishes and cool water from Jeom Soi.

“But it’s strange. Why is it so quiet?”
“I know?”

There were quite a few people from the shamanic ascetics who quenched their thirst by drinking water, but strangely, they were puzzled by the quiet interior of the inn.

After witnessing that the other warriors were looking to one side, they followed the eyes of the warriors.

“Huh…”
“Kuhm…”

There, beautiful women who were almost naked and a young man were chatting and spending time.

Even the practitioners of the non-partisan faction were momentarily shaken in their minds, not to mention the others.

“Cheuk!?”

At that time, Cheongyeon Jinin coughed.

Clearing your throat mixed with astonishment.

“Why is that?”
“Coke! Coke!”

Cheongyeon Jinin coughed up her cough at the unbelievable reality, but her eyes were reddened as she looked at the women with the man.

‘Jamiseong! And the Celestial Star is with you!?’

Isn’t she sitting face-to-face with Ja Mi-seong, whom she has been looking for, and Cheon-sal-seong, who is trying to prepare for the future?

‘Twins?! Cheonsalseong and Jamisung are twins!?’

In addition, Cheongyeon Jinin, who was even more surprised to learn that Cheonsalseong and Jamisung are twin sisters, didn’t know how to deal with this situation, and her head instantly stiffened.
