Chapter 136

Episode 136 Devils and Ghosts (1)“Uweek!”

Jang Woo-hwi’s face turned red after pouting several times.

“Damn it. “My stomach is turning.”

Disheveled clothes, red face, and uncharacteristically harsh words.

It was the appearance of a typical drunkard. A young man who was quite far away from him grabbed his nose because he had been drinking so much.

Jang Woo-hwi screamed.

“What are you looking at, you son of a bitch! Won’t it turn off?!”

The pronunciation is also not correct. The young man frowned and turned around.

Jang Woo-hwi spat harshly and laughed.

“pup! How dare you… huh?”

He couldn’t control his body and stumbled, but eventually he fell down. Coincidentally, the spot where he collapsed was also where a ton of vomit had poured out a little while ago.

I was dumbfounded, but then I burst into laughter.

“What do you think? “My life is a gutter.”

He put his head against the wall and looked up at the sky.

The dark night sky was full of clouds, so no stars were visible.

“Yes, it’s you. He came out into the world to try to get ahead and ended up in a lot of trouble…” He

happened to be noticed by Hong Guan and entered the Jeoksa Temple, and he was good at handling things in his own way and quickly rose to the position of commander-in-chief.

It was caught that it was a family belonging to the magic world, but isn’t it a prestigious family here anyway? Although I felt uncomfortable, I was also happy because I thought that the heavens had not abandoned me.

But what is this? Wasn’t the family that had barely settled down devastated by a single monster dispatched from the headquarters of the Demonic Murim?

‘I’m just like that.’

Now, I was like, whatever happens, happens. Even if you struggle and try, you will eventually fail. I thought that if this were going to be the case, there would be no need to buy anything.

But think about that for a moment.

“….”

Jang Woo-hwi sighed heavily.

“This is ugly, you bastard.”

I despised people who were struggling in despair because they were so frustrated, but I never thought I would be like this.

After struggling to come to his senses, he stood up. Although it looked fine on the outside, the inside of Jeoksa Temple was very rotten. The head of the family was lying in a sick bed, the head of the family was dead, and the elders were engaged in a secret struggle due to a power struggle.

“The country must also find its center.”

This was not the time, not just for Jeoksaga’s sake, but for himself.

Ugh.

I’m so drunk that it’s hard to raise my energy properly. I still don’t have the skills to blow away my alcoholic energy, but I still felt like I was sobering up a bit.

‘huh?’

As he walked along the wall, he suddenly felt as if the alley had become even darker.

‘what?’

Jang Woo-hwi raised his head.

“omg!”

Before he knew it, a sturdy man wearing a robe was standing in front of him, leaning against the wall.

This is the attire of ronin commonly seen in rivers and lakes. However, the reason why Jang Woo-hwi was surprised was not different.

atmosphere.

It is more bleak than an endless desert and more threatening than boiling molten metal. Compared to the man’s eyes, the cold wind of the distant North Sea will be like a warm spring breeze, and the scorching sun of midsummer will be worse than a firefly compared to the man’s eye glow.

The outfit was common, but this indescribable atmosphere was unlike anyone else. Even the demons of Protestantism would not be able to emit such alien energy waves as this man.

“Are you the commander-in-chief?”

It’s creepy.

Just hearing your voice made me feel weak.

My instinct was to run away, but my body, frozen and weak, had no intention of moving. It was difficult to open my mouth even once.

Flash!

The man’s bluish eyes lit up.

Jang Woo-hwi’s complexion, which had been red due to alcohol, suddenly turned pale.

‘ghost?’

Slurp.

The long sword that was hidden behind the blood-covered clothes was revealed.

“That’s right.”

Jang Woo-hwi opened his mouth with all his might.

“Who are you…?!”

Fuuuuuuu!!

He exploded to death before even finishing his sentence.

His whole body literally exploded and he died. The man just aimed his sword, but Jang Woo-hwi’s body was torn to pieces as if it had been hit by a bullet and flew in all directions.

Fresh blood soaked the alley walls. The broken flesh seemed to be falling apart in the cold.

The man with the sword turned around.

Sasasak!

At the same time, three men appeared behind him. Unlike the prosecutors who wore blood robes, their appearance in black uniforms was neat and fierce.

“What about the kids?”

The men answered simultaneously.

“We are currently waiting about 50 miles away from Jeoksa Temple.”

“Since Jeoksaga’s surveillance network has weakened, it seems safe to approach 30 miles further.”

“There are no reinforcements from Chilga. “It looks like they haven’t spread the word yet.”

The blond-haired man nodded.

“What about the Demonic Cult?”

“It’s vague. But if I had known, I think I would have intervened sooner.”

A moment of silence.

The man spoke again.

“It doesn’t matter whether you know or not.”

A strong sense of confidence is felt in every single word spoken indifferently.

“Tell this to the kids. “The Jeoksa is to come within five ri (5 ri) of the area within midnight today.”

Mok Gang-in, the vice-gung lord of the in-house sword palace, said.

“We will have Jeoksaga in our hands before the sun rises tomorrow.”

* * *

Seoryang and Ma Dongpil’s movement speed was very fast. But even then, there was still time to spare.

Xiliang was never in a hurry to go.

When I moved, I ran as hard as I could, but when I rested, I made sure to rest. When I ate, I always ate a full meal and got plenty of sleep for three hours.

Ma Dong-pil was puzzled.

“Confucius.”

“ok?”

“Is it okay to move leisurely like this?”

“I don’t think it’s particularly relaxing, do you? “Just think of the distance we traveled in two days.”

“Of course it is, but….”

“There is no need to move in a hurry. “Unless it’s an emergency, you shouldn’t rule out taking a break.”

“Of course.”

“You too, keep in mind. “It may be similar in any field, but timing is especially important for unmanned aerial vehicles.”

“When?”

“It’s about timing. “If you have been training to your death, there are times when you have to play to your death.”

Ma Dong-pil smiled without realizing it.

“Why are you laughing?”

“These words are unbecoming of you, Confucius.”

“why? “Can’t I give you some advice?”

“Is that possible? However, I have never seen anyone who works tirelessly like Confucius.”

“Damn.”

How could Ma Dong-pil not understand Seo-ryang’s advice? Everyone has a different way of approaching their field, but you should definitely rest when you rest.

However, what was surprising was the atmosphere of Seoliang.

‘You don’t look like someone who is about to do something big.’

Whether it was offering a deal or using force to treat them like slaves, they were already entangled in an uncomfortable relationship with Jeoksaga. It’s not strange if someone stabs me with abusive language.

It was surprising that they didn’t get too nervous even though they were going to such a dangerous area. If people are nervous and in a hurry, it will be difficult to relax like this.

However, Seo-ryang was not as nervous as Ma Dong-pil could see.

‘Isn’t this really annoying?’

Seoliang thought as he chewed the rabbit meat eagerly.

‘It’s not a difficult target for the current Jeoksaga to attack.’

It was not a simple analogy, but a guess that was close to certainty.

Haven’t we already overturned the record once as an inspector? Even though his eyes were averted because of King Biyo’s disciple, he was fully aware of the extent of Jeoksaga’s power.

‘Of course, just me, Dongpil, and Geumho aren’t enough.’

Even if it is rotten and crumbling, Chilga is still Chilga. The family head is in a hospital bed and Lee Ga-ju is dead, but the remaining troops are alive and well.

Although a transcendent expert can turn an unfavorable battle situation around in an instant, dealing with a group of only three armed with hundreds of experts is like hitting a rock with an egg.

However, the reason I thought it was easy to attack is because you are not going there to fight, but to make a deal.

If the deal fails, you can just get out. Unless the enemy is crazy, there is no way he would touch the disciple of the sect leader who visited him twice.

Flowers and diseases will come out indiscriminately, though.

‘But why am I feeling wary again?’

Did the Jeoksaga set a trap? But how did you know you were coming?

‘I really don’t know this.’

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even realize I had eaten all the meat.

Seo-ryang threw the bone he was sucking into the bonfire.

“Confucius.”

“why?”

“What about Geumho…”

Seoliang turned his head and looked at Geumho. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

About a dozen miles away, a golden tiger was licking the fur of a dead tiger. It’s clear they didn’t kill it to eat, but I don’t know what they’re doing.

Seo-ryang shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s about gaining morale.”

“yes?”

“You’ve caught a tiger once before, right?”

“Oh, that’s right. Definitely in Mt. Hyeongsan….”

“Tiger is the king of the mountains. “Its vitality cannot be compared to that of other beasts.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face hardened.

“No way, even if Geumho is a magician….”

“Does that make sense? “Even if you are a spirit, how do you learn martial arts?”

For some reason, it seems like that might be the case with Kumho.

“There are many beasts full of vitality. “The reason we went out of our way to catch a tiger is because the tigers we’ve caught so far have killed a lot of people.”

“Were they the criminals who caused the misfortune?”

“okay. A ghost has attached itself to the tiger’s expedition. A creature cannot have ears unless it has developed upper limbs as well as humans. “Geumho takes the tiger-stained expedition and uses it as his own strength.”

Ma Dong-pil couldn’t understand.

“Gwi means ghost…”

Seo-ryang scratched his head.

“Actually, I don’t know exactly. I said that because I didn’t have anything to say. What is certain is that Geumho kills the tiger not just for fun, but for himself.”

“But what does morale mean? “You said you were going on an expedition, but what about fraud?”

“Look over there.”

The place that Seo-ryang pointed to was around the land where Geum-ho lay down.

Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.

“Is there any problem over there?”

“You unobservant bastard. “Take a good look, man.”

“I’m fine… huh?”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.

After looking around Geumho for a while, he looked around the ground where he was standing again.

“The grass where Geumho is is bigger and looks tougher than here?”

“Even flower buds bloomed.”

“How?!”

“I told you. Geumho takes a deafening expedition. However, an expedition is an expedition while you are alive. When you die, it gradually becomes tinged with morale and disappears. “You know that, right?”

“Yes.”

“Kumho takes only the core of fraud and spreads the remaining impurities into nature. “It accelerates the cycle, so to speak.”

“Acceleration?”

“When living things die, they become fertilizer and make the land fertile. Kumho accelerates the pace of change in the middle. So, the tiger’s body looks like that.”

Ma Dong-pil turned his attention to the tiger’s body.

Push!

The tiger’s head fell off like a withered tree breaking. There was barely any blood coming from the broken neck.

Ma Dong-pil looked at Geumho with eyes of wonder.

“It really is an amazing spirit creature.”

“It’s amazing, but I’m not that surprised.”

“yes?”

“Look at my martial arts skills. “Muae-gong’s cleansing effect plays a role in removing impurities from the air, right?”

“ah! “The existence of Geumho is the same as Muae-gong.”

“To put it in an easy-to-understand way, it’s something like that.”

Seoyang leaned his back comfortably against the tree.

“Anyway, it catches the tiger that caused the fire and is good for the land. “Kumho is doing good things.”

Ma Dong-pil smiled and nodded. But in the meantime, one question suddenly came to mind.

It catches tigers and is good for nature.

‘Then what about Geumho?’

What value does Geumho have to us in this world?

Is it a safe existence or a dangerous existence?

“There is only one day left. Let’s take a good rest and leave in half a day.”

“All right. ah! “There is one last thing I would like to ask you.”

“Baby, there are so many things I’m curious about. What?”

“Why are you on this road? “I feel like it’s going back a bit…”

“Oh, that?”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“I’m retracing my route just in case.”

“Retreat?”

“huh. The idea is to prepare for an emergency. If a fight breaks out in Jeoksa Temple, shouldn’t you be excited? “I’m going back to check if there are any variables in this retreat route.”

Take your time, but be thoroughly prepared.

Ma Dong-pil was once again impressed by Seoryang’s meticulousness.

“If you understand, you can take a break. “I need some sleep.”

“Oh yeah! “Sleep comfortably.”

* * *

Two people departed half a day later.

It was around this time that they ran without stopping for an hour.

“Gasp!”

From a distance, I saw a woman covered in blood running towards me.

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened. Ma Dong-pil did the same.

“…Bitch the robber?”

Things were moving in a direction they had never imagined.
