#New Family (1)

Suddenly, the words my master left behind come to mind.

‘Cheonma is a god. And I… … killed a god.’

My lips are dry.

‘I expected it to some extent, but I never thought it would be the great assassin who infiltrated the Demonic Cult and eliminated its leaders.’

At this level, he is a legendary spy.

‘Wait a minute. Then you’re not on the same level as Dokma?’

Jang Yi-seo looked at the poison with doubts.

His expression, which clearly should have resented the Brain God more than anyone else, looked sad and bright no matter how I looked at it.

As if thinking of an old friend.

“Why do you make that face?”

Dokma’s expression changed as if he was sorry, and he asked.

“It’s my turn… … . How did you come to handle that brainwashing machine… … ?”

Jang Yi-seo’s mouth was slurring. But it didn’t take long for the judgment to be made. The game had already been played out.

“I happened to see what he left behind at my school and just learned it as it was.”

“Then… … you’re saying that you’re the descendant of the Brain God?!”

Dokma said in surprise. Jang Yiseo nodded.

In fact, revealing something about yourself is like gambling with your life.

Even if we only list the ones that have been revealed, the Brain God is the enemy who injured Dokma and the main enemy of the Demonic Cult that destroyed Cheonma.

Even if it was something he had learned by chance, he would not be able to avoid the guilt of following his progress.

but…….

‘Dokma… is genuinely happy without any ill intentions. Moreover, he doesn’t have any doubts about the traces left by his master. This must be because he knows him well. There must be something more between the two that others don’t know. Whether it’s friendship or debt.’

Jang-i Seo trusted his instincts.

And this time my hunch was not wrong.

“Keukheuk… … . What a coincidence… … . You’re his disciple… … .”

Dokma was still praising him and was moved.

“It’s my turn. What is your relationship with him, Dokma?”

Dok-ma, who had been laughing alone, nodded and answered in a completely different, kind and compassionate voice than before.

“Listen carefully to what I say. From now on, you must never reveal the name of the Brain God… … . The Brain God’s martial arts… … . Anything about the Brain God… … . Even in front of my disciple, Ma-ui… … .”

“… … !”

“This is… … my advice to you as his brother and tutor.”

Oh my god. I came to my senses like I had just come out of a deep cold shower in the middle of winter.

All relationships were settled with one word from him.

Brothers in law.

Han Moo-young, the brain god and master, and Dok-ma were brothers. I thought they would have been close, but this is… … .

‘Could it be… … that Dokma was an apostate who helped murder? Or was he also a spy?’

A lot of thoughts swirled through Jang Yiseo’s head. But Dok Ma shook his head as if it was nothing.

“Nothing… … Don’t try to know anything… … . You just have to live quietly like you are now… … without anyone knowing. In particular… … You must never let anyone know about it in the Cheonmajeon… … . Do you understand?”

It’s true. Dokma was truly worried about himself with his young eyes.

When it comes to Cheonmajeon, it refers to Cheonma Jinwookwang and the left and right lions, Heukya and Baekya. That means it has to be hidden from them… … .

‘The Heavenly Horse that the Master destroyed… Could it be Jin Woo-kwang’s Master?!’

The previous Cheonma… … . My bones are chills. Although the records of the contemporary Cheonma, Jin Woo-gwang, are widely available, very little has been revealed about the previous Cheonmas.

Looking back now, I think they must have erased everything to hide the fact that he was killed by a spy.

‘But I didn’t know that and went around Cheonmajeon… … .’

My mind is spinning. In the meantime, Dokma is slowly approaching me step by step and is soon standing right within reach.

Then he held Jang-seo’s shoulders with his dry hands as if stroking them and said.

“In my entire life… … I thought I would never have a way to apologize to Him… … . But He sent me this opportunity by sending me you… … .”

He, who was a stubborn and stubborn man with an unyielding spirit, shed tears from his eyes.

And the look in her eyes as she looked at me was so similar to what I had felt a long time ago.

‘brother…….’

My younger brother, Lee Yoon, who was looking at me with longing.

Those eyes that only family can see.

“Did you say Jang-seo… … .”

He nodded.

Kwaaaaang!

At the same time, there was a sound of the iron door breaking and the sound of doctors from Doksan Pavilion, including Ma-ui, running towards them.

and.

“From now on… … I will be your family… … and your unconditional ally for the rest of your life.”

Thud! My heart dropped. Why did those words that he would be on my side make me feel so sad? It wasn’t because I believed him. They were just words that seemed to comfort me after living as a spy for over ten years.

Then the door burst open and the magicians and doctors rushed in.

“Jang-seo, you bastard! How dare you barge into this place!”

The demon is screaming. It looks like he’ll start wielding his sword at any moment.

But.

“How dare you… … ?”

“Master! Are you okay… … .”

The poisonous demon let out a snarl in a furious voice.

“Who dares to speak carelessly to this child-!”

Kwakwakwakwa-!

A tremendous sense of purpose, along with a loud roar, pressed down on Chammadong.

“Ugh!”

At once, everyone falls to their knees.

This is the roar of the legendary Dokma from the previous era.

Everyone opened their eyes wide at the situation that was completely incomprehensible.

“From now on… … Jang-seo, this child… … is my flesh and blood, my incarnation… … . So anyone who treats me carelessly from now on… … will understand that I intend to fight with Dok-ma. Do you understand?!”

“S, Master… … ?”

“I won’t tell you twice… … . Be sure to keep this in mind… … .”

No backlash is ever tolerated.

The faces of the demon and the doctors looked like they had been hit on the back of the head while walking down the street. What can you do? If that’s the case with the demon, then that’s the way it is.

Soon everyone nodded.

Looking at Jang Yi-seo affectionately while carrying a backpack. Watching the affectionate appearance of Dok-ma, which I have never seen before.

A new successor was born at Doksan Pavilion.

* * *

Ma-ui and Yeop-hong, who were kicked out of Chammadoong, stood there blankly, unable to take more than a few steps from the broken iron gate.

What on earth is going on?

It’s clear that Dokma was seriously destroying Jang-seo just a little while ago. But now, if I touch it, it’s war.

“Huh… … This is really. Tsk!”

The magician clicked his tongue and raised his head. He could see the sky blocked by the valley. The scenery that he had always been proud of was so stifling today.

Yeop-gwang, who was standing next to him, asked cautiously.

“But if you are the blood and incarnation of the Dokmanim… … . Does that make you a master to us?”

“What are you-!”

Sparks flew from the demon’s eyes. Yeop-hong turned his head like a millstone.

“How can someone who has been locked up in there for decades have a child? And one who came from outside the main temple?”

“Are you saying that it’s a lie?”

“Gaaaar! How dare you be so rude to your teacher!”

As Yeop-gwang looked at him indifferently, Ma-ui coughed in vain as if her words were strange.

Suddenly, he is my incarnation. Then, to me, Jang Seo is the same as my teacher.

The guy I brought in to be my successor ended up sitting on my head.

“What happens now?”

“What the hell, what the hell!”

The magician nervously struck his cane down and walked away.

“Didn’t you say that if you confront me, it’s a fight! Rather than fighting with the teacher, I’d rather bite my tongue. Oh my, my head… .”

Yeop-hong followed him with a gentle smile.

* * *

After all the doctors and nurses left, Jang Yi-seo and Dok-ma were left alone once again.

However, the atmosphere was a bit different than before.

As if they were family reunited after a long time, Jang-seo helped Dok-ma sit on a chair, and Dok-ma smiled the whole time.

Knock knock, knock knock.

Even the way he turns his head and spits shows affection.

It might not seem like it would be easy for them to adapt to the completely different attitudes, but surprisingly, the two easily opened up about their past lives.

“I… … have let go of everything since he left. I was just a… … corpse breathing… … . I had no hopes… … or desires.”

Dokma defined my life after Han Moo-young left.

Before that, I didn’t even mention it. It seemed like the value of life began and ended with him.

Jang Seo’s discussion of his life wasn’t that long either.

What kind of life would a spy have in the cult?

“… … I entered Chilsogung from the Counterintelligence Corps. And now, all I can hope for is for Chilsogung to ascend to the Little Sect.”

Dokma simply listened to Jang Yiseo’s life without asking any questions.

Actually, there wasn’t much to say.

I am already past the twists and turns of life and looking towards the end. I know that no amount of talk will help me with the past.

only.

“From now on, I am your nest, your family… … .”

It will only become a strong tree in the future. And it was a greater strength to Jang Il-seo than anything else.

‘The poison is sincere. It is truly trying to be on my side. Whether it is because of atonement towards the Master or because of regret.’

I don’t know the circumstances, but it was truly a blessing in disguise.

Who would have thought that in a place where you come to heal your dying body, you will encounter a chance encounter called Dokma?

“If there’s anything you want… … tell me anything.”

“Can I tell you what I really want?”

“Of course. When I think of your master… … I wouldn’t mind giving my life. Of course, it would be a life that would fade away without any merit. Hehe.”

A self-deprecating laugh about his ruined body. Jang Yi-seo spoke calmly without any hesitation.

“Can I look at your hands for a moment?”

“hmm……?”

A hand? When I asked him to tell me what he wanted, why did he suddenly say that? Hana Dokma held out her hand without any particular suspicion, but with only a hint of doubt.

Skinny hands.

Then Jang Yi-seo quietly felt his pulse and closed his eyes.

Dismissal, dismissal.

I can feel it. The brain energy running wild like a light dragon inside Dokma’s body.

‘This is the trace of the Master… … . Confusing and light. Two energies that do not match at all.’

I don’t know about others, but Jang is the successor to the brainwashing method.

Brain energy is created by sacrificing air power. And the brain energy that I felt from the poison horse now contained a strong poisonous aura that seemed like it would melt everything.

There is one possible reason.

‘While I was neglecting my wounds, the brain power grew on its own by swallowing the immortal poison.’

So, every time he used his strength, his brain energy would have been gradually scattered throughout his body. Later, it would have gradually grown until he could no longer use any strength.

Eventually, the five internal organs would not have been able to function properly, so the throat would have become like it is now.

But the fact that he is still alive is probably because he was born with a strong and tenacious lifeline.

In a word, it is a miracle.

“What are you doing?”

When Jang Yi-seo opened his eyes, Dok-ma tilted his head as if he didn’t understand for a moment.

He looked at me intently and replied.

“If you had treated it early, the brain tumor wouldn’t have grown this much. Why did you leave it like this?”
