#The Choice of the Poisonous Horse (2)

Jang Yi-seo pretended to be worried, contrary to her true feelings.

“I said that out of regret. I wish I could take Gwang-ui’s place, but there is still much work to be done at Chilsogung.”

“This, this guy… …! Do you dare to refuse the Master’s offer? Do you think you’ll get away with it?”

If you can’t do it, it’s a threat…

But what can I do?

“I can’t help it. I have already sworn in front of the leader that I will be loyal to the Seven Princes.”

“Cult, cult leader… …! When did you! Didn’t you ever say something like that to me yesterday-!”

Of course not. I have never made such an oath. But if it is something that cannot be verified, the truth does not matter. What matters is justification and confidence.

“Because you didn’t ask. That’s why I clearly told you yesterday. It’s difficult.”

“This, this crazy guy… … !”

A devil who is speechless except for cursing. What will become of him if he continues like this? Isn’t it just like bringing a bastard to the poisonous demon and causing him shame?

It’s a real dilemma.

But now, when he is sweating profusely, is the moment for Jang Seo to intervene.

“One, it is impossible for a person like me to throw away the opportunity that the Lord has given me.”

“That, that’s right!”

“How about doing it like this?”

“how?”

Jang Yiseo threw out a clever plan with shining eyes.

“If you accept me as an anonymous disciple, I will definitely eliminate the original meaning of the teachings based on them.”

“her!”

Shock finally burst from the magician’s mouth.

Anonymous disciple!

An unofficial relationship between teachers and students, literally not recorded in the master’s register.

Isn’t this just a story about trying to extract only the essence using the broad meaning of not knowing life or death?

‘Hey, have you ever seen such a cunning guy!’

It was then that Ma Yi realized.

Jang Seo.

This guy is not just a smart kid, he is a snake cub that even the elders will stick their tongues out at.

and.

“Kuuuuu… … Khahahahahahahaha!”

A loud laughter erupted from the silent Dokma’s mouth. And it was long at that.

The demon opened his eyes like lanterns and opened his mouth wide.

‘Why is the teacher laughing like that… … .’

How long has it been since he was born? He was always blunt and unsmiling, but I haven’t seen him smile since Gwang-ui left.

“I can understand a little why you brought that kid here… … This is what a child of our school should be like… … . He should know how to bite and tear the head of an old snake. Yeah. That’s right. Hehe.”

It was high praise. Dokma was praising Jang I-seo very highly.

“You were the one who got hurt by that kid… … .”

“S, Master… … .”

The demon’s face was stained with despair and humiliation. What can he do? That’s what Dok-ma said. There was no way he could protest.

Dokma said, still smiling.

“Did you say Jang-seo?”

“yes.”

“How arrogant of you… … . To dare to bargain with me in front of the poison horse… … .”

“I’m sorry. With my limited brain, I thought this was the only way. Please forgive my rudeness.”

Jang Yiseo bowed his head again in a respectful manner. Dok Ma glanced at him with satisfied eyes. He is a man who knows when to get out.

A talent that is hard to come by.

“I acknowledge your base.”

“If you do that… … !”

Are you allowing anonymous disciples?! The moment when Jang Yi-seo’s eyes light up.

“But.”

His tone has changed.

“When you bite the snake’s head… … you must have been prepared to die, right?”

“… … !”

It was not a warm smile, but a chilling murderous feeling was brewing.

Jang Yi-seo didn’t know what kind of being Dokma was.

He is a dogmatic person who never easily acknowledges others, and to acknowledge others means to elevate them to the status of an enemy worthy of competing with me.

“Your suggestion is correct… … . However. I am not a generous person who can tolerate the indulgence of those below. I am not a good person, either. So… … .”

The poisonous horse laughs. But this laugh was not a friendly one.

It was a completely hostile laugh.

“Get the hell out of my sight… … .”

The edict to ban guests was issued. Jang Yi-seo was overcome with a sense of defeat.

I thought we were almost there.

I found him so funny.

The poison was still the poison.

A legend of the past who was boundlessly mad and unyielding.

The poisonous horse turned and walked away.

Jang Yi-seo looked behind him with a complicated gaze.

* * *

After Jang Yi-seo passed away.

Dokma and Ma-ui entered the house in Chammadong and sat down facing each other.

“Coolook… … .”

Dokma’s complexion looked even worse, as he had used up more energy than usual.

The magician handed me warm tea with a worried expression on his face.

“Are you okay?”

“hmm…….”

Instead of answering, Dokma soothed his cough with tea.

A stubborn gentleman who never says he’s sick, even if he dies. If it’s to this extent, it means he’s not feeling well.

The demon lowered his head as if he couldn’t raise it and spoke.

“I’m sorry. I never thought that kid would be so clever and risk his life.”

This is Jang I-seo’s story.

“What can I do? That child is so naturally… … .”

“I’ll look for a better child.”

“That’s it… … . No matter who I bring, that kid won’t be accepted.”

“Are you valuing it that highly?”

Dokma put down his teacup. Then he spoke calmly in a voice that had improved significantly.

“Isn’t that the child who holds the Heavenly Demon God’s power?”

At this, the eyes of the demon who had asked the question shook greatly. How could he do that!

“I have seen the Heavenly Horses of the Three Generations. Even though I have forbidden my internal energy, it is not that I cannot feel it.”

Ha… … The demon shook his head in embarrassment.

Because this was something that should never be known. As a specialist in Cheonma, he knew many things that others did not know.

One of them is that Cheonma gives power to children with good qualities. And Jang-i Seo is the first one to pass the test.

“I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you… … .”

“As a specialist, leaking secrets is an unforgivable sin… … . Well done… … .”

The devil’s filthy mouth closed. This is poison. He is usually more ruthless and vicious than anyone else, but he is lenient when it comes to trivial matters. That’s why I can’t hate him.

“The heavens of this time are continuing the work of the heavens of the previous era… … .”

Dokma’s white eyes became hazy. For a moment, he was soaked in the past. But that too for a moment. He changed his expression and asked.

“But even though I obtained the Heavenly Demonic Sect… … I couldn’t become a minor sect leader… … What happened?”

“A child who was blessed with both fortune and punishment. Phew… … He has a bad temper.”

The Dokma’s eyes widened. It was a nine-legged corpse. He nodded involuntarily. He had the best qualities, but his limitations were clear, so he could not become a Heavenly Demon.

There would have been no reason to keep it alive and leave it in danger… … .

“It seems that the Heavenly Demon has taken pity on you.”

“Yes, I think so.”

The magician made a bitter expression. The more he spoke, the more he felt that he had brought in a guy who was definitely defective. He hurriedly added.

“Although his dantian skills are limited, I thought that with his clarity, he would definitely be able to learn the Immortal Poison Magic Technique… … .”

But.

“Cleverness? Hehe… … Hahahahahahaha!”

Why is this happening again? Dokma has unleashed his second madness today.

“Gyun-ah, Gyun-ah… …. You still have a long way to go.”

“Was that kid that bad?”

“You said it wasn’t that good…? No way! Treating a gemstone as nothing more than a bright stone… How can you possibly serve heaven with eyes that are worse than those of a shrimp? Throw it away!”

Huh! The demon was so shocked that he froze like a rock.

The poisonous horse turned its head around with a ferocious expression like a ferocious tiger.

An expression that says one of his disciples was raised wrong.

“What do you mean? A natural gem? It is true that Jang Seo is exceptional, but not to that extent… … .”

“What is a poison…?”

Is this a question that should be asked only when you have a runny nose? Even so, what is the point of being a scapegoat to an elder like you?

There is one thing I cannot help but answer when it comes to the Master’s question.

“Of course, it involves dealing with poison.”

“How can I handle it?”

“The ignorant sectarians try to deal with it through the mind method, but the real thing is that the body must accept it first. That is how you come into contact with the poison, become enlightened, detoxify, and acquire it.”

“Then… …what do you need for that?”

“Of course… … . Of course… … . Of course… … ?!”

Just then, the magician’s eyes opened wide as if he realized something.

Dokma saw this and laughed.

“Do you understand now? Why that child is a natural gem?”

I see. Ma-ui was lost in thought.

What is the most important thing in learning to read alone?

Internal energy? Muscles? Five elements? Wrong. It’s immunity.

The body had to endure the poison first, and it had to remember the exact scent of that poison.

So, the most important thing was the immunity and mental strength to endure, and the five senses to remember and feel it.

But… … .

“The mental strength to withstand the spirit of the merchant. The five senses and five virtues gained through the nine-legged dungeon. And… … .”

At the demon’s possessed words, Dok-ma snorted and muttered with eyes filled with wonder.

“He has even been granted immunity to a thousand poisons thanks to the Cheonma Shingong… … If that isn’t a natural gem, then what else could it be… … That guy, Jang-seo… … is a guy sent from heaven to fight poison.”

Now that he had realized everything, Ma-ui felt like all his blood had drained out of him.

I just thought of him as a pitiful guy, but I didn’t know he was this great.

But why such a talented person… …?!

“Master, then isn’t it too much of a waste to let it go like this? If you want to change your character, then call me back now… … .”

“I was there before that kid.”

A voice soaked with resentment.

“ah…….”

A broad-minded person.

I’m talking about that guy.

“I know. That kind of guy… … doesn’t really follow anyone. Doesn’t he hide his ruthlessness under his composure… … . He might be worse than Gongsunjeol.”

The doctor’s sure intention. The doctor looked at him with complicated feelings.

Honestly, I feel bad that Jang Seo-ga used numbers on me, but he was too soft, so I was the first to reject him anyway.

At this point, as a senior, wouldn’t it be possible to just look at it as the outstanding performance of a junior?

‘Master Hana never changes his mind once he has made up his mind… … Jang-seo. I guess this is where your fate ends.’

Honestly, I felt like it was a terrible thing to lose a child with such talent. I felt even more so after hearing it. It was something I might regret and have regrets about for the rest of my life.

What can I do? He says he doesn’t like it.

Knock knock, knock!

When I turned my head at the sound of a foul cough, Dokma was coughing up blood on his palm with a pale face.

Ma-ui, with a surprised look on her face, supported Dok-ma and carried him to the bed.

A strange scar, like a lightning bolt, is revealed on the bare arm exposed under the sleeve of the long robe.

“Has the thunderstorm already begun?”

“hmm…….”

Dokma grumbled and suppressed a cough, then waved his hand as if it was nothing to worry about.

Due to my long-term internal injury, I can only stay awake for about two hours at most. I stayed awake too long today.

Dok-ma turned around on the bed without even looking at Ma-ui’s complicated gaze. He was telling her to get out.

“Take a rest, Master.”

The magician looked at him once, then swallowed a sigh and turned around.

Within a moment, I stepped outside, waving my cane.

Thinking of Jang Il-seo, who must be locked up in his room right now, hugging his knees and weeping.
