#familiar smell

Two people sitting facing each other again.

Ttorr.

The leader drinks the fragrant tea all by himself.

‘It definitely smells familiar… … .’

Jang Yiseo looked at him blankly.

I guess I should have been offered a drink or two. Is there a particular reason why I’m drinking it alone?

The doubt was fleeting. The leader put down his teacup and asked.

“Who are you?”

“You know, it’s a white paper.”

“How can you, a member of the Blood Cult, know about Muyeong’s martial arts?”

When the leader raised his voice, Jang-seo frowned and responded with a look of displeasure.

“Does that matter now? I told you. Now, go back to Meng.”

“What do I trust you for?”

Looking at the way they laugh, I don’t think they would have been on good terms even if they had stayed in the Murim Alliance.

“If I had malicious intentions, would I have been so blatant from the beginning? I would have hidden and gone for the leader’s head.”

“So tell me. What is your relationship with Muyeong, a blood cult member?”

“I told you that I am not a blood relative.”

“Tell me right now!”

The stubbornness of the inspiration tank. He took a shallow breath. He had no intention of hiding it anyway.

I just hesitated for a moment because I have multiple identities.

Anyway, it would be better to treat me as a disciple of an old relationship rather than as the vice-regent of a demonic cult.

“I followed his progress. Is that okay?”

“You’re Muyeong’s disciple… … ?!”

“yes.”

“That can’t be true! There hasn’t been a single trace of Muyeong in over forty years!”

Why isn’t it there? Of course it is there.

The death row inmate, Cheonma Jinwookwang.

Of course, it is better for both of us to not mention that gentleman.

“Do you think Master had to report his survival to the leader every year?”

The leader frowned. He was speechless at the correct answer. How could a leader know everything about the world?

“Then what was the blood I felt from you?”

“Isn’t it true that everyone has their own circumstances?”

“Not everyone has those circumstances!”

At the firm tone, Jang shrugged his shoulders and stirred in his body.

Woohoo!

Then, a golden aura spreads out. It is the Namcheonneungga-gyeong.

‘Warm as the sun and spotless. This is definitely the depth of the heart!’

When the leader was once again shocked, Jang Yi-seo let out his spirit and said.

“Should I tell you this too?”

“How… … .”

“I can confidently say that I have just as much desire to eliminate the Blood Cult as you, Lord.”

“Umm… … .”

The leader’s silence deepened. To be honest, it was the very essence of confusion. At only thirty years old, he had reached a state of incomprehension that was so extreme, and while his body was filled with blood, he exuded a sincere energy that I had never seen in a Buddhist temple.

Could something so strange be happening?

No. Absolutely not. This is the work of the Blood Cult.

one.

‘Han Moo-young’s disciple… … .’

This one insignificant modifier keeps convincing me.

A person who sees three numbers ahead of him sees ten numbers ahead of him.

A person who made me think hundreds and thousands of times that if he had been there before the Jeongsa Ma Jeon, he would have been able to stop Cheonma Jin Woo-gwang.

Of all the countless people I’ve seen in my life, this is the only monster I can’t seem to overcome.

The name is Han Moo-young.

Wouldn’t that be possible since he is his disciple?

The surprise slowly faded from the leader’s face. He didn’t completely believe it. Even the soldiers who were his closest associates were blood cult members.

But how can you believe someone you see for the first time?

However, I thought that if he had any malicious intentions, he wouldn’t have approached it in such a complicated and clumsy way as he said.

Besides, didn’t you just risk your life to prove yourself?

Jang Il-seo, who had been waiting silently, asked calmly.

“I also ask. How do you know about the relationship between Master and the Blood Cult?”

They say that all the information has been lost since we met in childhood. Even if that weren’t the case, the fact that the master went to find the Blood Lord is something that only a very few people in the Demonic Cult know.

“Forty years ago… … . He came to me.”

Forty years ago, no way.

“I heard he’s going to fight the Blood Cult.”

That’s right. Han Moo-young left the Demonic Cult, left his martial arts skills behind at Cheonmago, and came to find the leader.

‘It’s been a while.’

They had only been together for a few months, and the days they had not seen each other had lasted half a century, but the leader recognized him at first glance.

‘No Young… … .’

Even though I had just entered the realm of the gods, my heart thumped and the pores on my entire body opened wide.

I felt it again.

The gap between us has now become so wide that it cannot be overcome.

After Muyeong left that day.

The leader searched the blood sect and was barely able to find traces of Muyeong and survivors who had suffered burns as if they had been struck by lightning in the West.

‘Brain, brain god… … .’

Even that died not long after.

The leader came out of his flashback and said.

“Muyeong said that if he were to lose, he should not think about fighting the Blood Cult but should hide and build up his strength.”

I understand. If I were to lose to the Blood Lord, it would be Jungwon’s turn next. That’s why I was worried and told him.

“Did you have anything else to say?”

When asked seriously, the leader just laughed in vain and said.

“He said to work hard.”

“yes?”

“He’s not such a bad guy. I was wondering what he was talking about. I guess he was talking about Janie.”

No way. It was before he was even born. This is a death sentence. Cheonma Jinwookwang. He was a disciple, but he was like a time bomb who could do anything, so he left after giving him a favor.

“But where is Muyeong now?”

“He left. Very far away.”

“ah…….”

A tone full of regret. Hana nodded immediately. At their age, it wouldn’t be strange if they passed away.

“So that’s how it turned out. I really wanted to meet you and have a drink together at least once. How heartless… … .”

I can’t say we were close, but he was the man I had aimed for my whole life.

It’s inevitable that you’ll feel bitter.

“Just as my master did, I also intend to block the Blood Cult.”

The full statement ends here.

Jang Yi-seo brought up the main topic again.

“So, Your Majesty, please go back now.”

“Hmm.”

“If we retreat like this, they will definitely try to take over the empty space. If we try to stop them too late, the damage will only increase. Go now. We can’t let them take over the Central Plains, right? So… … .”

“That can’t be.”

For a moment, I was dazed. I blinked, thinking I had misheard, and looked at him again.

“What did you say?”

“I said that it couldn’t be done. The resignation would not be soft.”

No, wait a minute.

“Did you hear what I just said? The Blood Cult is targeting the Murim Alliance. They’re definitely somewhere right now… … .”

“How can I believe you?”

“Leader!”

“You said you were Muyeong’s disciple. I want to believe it, but it’s been too long.”

I know. Of course you can’t believe it right away. But only if you’re not an idiot will you know that there’s no selfishness behind what I’m saying.

But why on earth!

“I’m going back now. I’ll check back later and come find you.”

It doesn’t make sense. Isn’t it strange? Even if you can’t believe it, you should at least be on guard when you hear that the Blood Cult is targeting the Central Plains.

‘But he’s calm. As if he knows everything.’

I looked into the eyes of the leader of the group. I could see his determination that he would never change his mind.

Clearly the leader knows.

That the Blood Cult was active in the Central Plains. That was why I was convinced that it was a Blood Cult and wanted to eliminate it.

But knowing all this, why do you want to resign?

At that moment, the teacup he was drinking from suddenly appeared before my eyes.

A bitter yet strangely familiar scent.

A vague but matching name came to mind.

Hoeryong Elementary School.

A poisonous plant that causes excruciating pain that feels like your intestines are being torn apart the moment you drink it!

‘Why are you doing this… … .’

My mind became dizzy.

*

Jang Yi-seo finished his interview with the leader and came out in a huff.

We didn’t talk much after that.

What more conversation can you have with someone who has built a wall?

‘Let’s keep quiet about each other. It was nice meeting you.’

There was nothing I could do but nod.

No, honestly, I couldn’t believe it. Who is the leader? He is the best person in the world who has reached the level of a god.

This is the story of a true master who has ascended to the realm of immortality.

But he was eating poisonous herbs.

Are you suddenly interested in poison? That can’t be. Hoeryongcho isn’t that kind of poison.

If you drink that poison, there is only one reason.

‘First, let’s check if it’s real.’

Jang Yi-seo walked away with a serious look in his eyes.

*

It’s late at night.

Jang Yi-seo came out of the dormitory and entered an unexpected place.

A space where numerous items are displayed.

This is Jangwon’s granary.

Surely you wouldn’t come in at this hour to steal something.

There was only one reason he came here.

‘It was definitely the smell of Hoeryeong Elementary School.’

The astringent smell that could be felt from the moment I first entered the lord’s quarters.

It was to determine the authenticity of that very scent.

Hoeryeongcho is one of the poisons that Jang I-seo took at Doksan Pavilion.

The leader was drinking it right in front of me.

Of course, the leader wouldn’t have drunk it without knowing it was poison.

Because the moment you eat it, you will feel a painful reaction.

When I think about how much he endured, I can’t help but be amazed.

Anyway, Hoeryongcho wasn’t just any ordinary poison. It was a double-edged sword.

As the saying goes, “Cure poison with poison”, it was used to cure poison.

That too is a very poisonous poison.

I once asked this question to Ma-i’s older brother at Doksan-gak.

‘Is there any poison that can harm someone who is incurable?’

‘Of course. You can reach the state of enlightenment through poison. Although addiction is difficult, you can crush and kill with poison.’

‘Is that the only way?’

‘There is one more. There is a rare and extreme poison called Sinseonpye (神仙廢) that is said to cause even immortals to fall into the abyss.’

‘Are you a freshman?’

‘Yes. It’s a deadly poison that can turn even the strongest of masters into ordinary people. Strictly speaking, it changes one’s constitution, so you could call it a disease.’

‘Is that possible?’

‘The body begins to reject the internal energy. The more you use your internal energy, the more you die.’

‘Can’t it get better?’

‘Well, it can be alleviated. You have to take poison. Of course, it will be painful, though.’

The magician had certainly answered that way. That’s right. The name of the poison used as a treatment is Hoeryongcho.

That is, if my prediction is correct.

‘The leader is addicted to fresh air.’

ping!

A circular energy wave spread from Jang Yiseo’s body, and the Heavenly Demon Eye opened.

Then, everything in the room that was pitch-black became as bright as daylight in my head.

The characteristic of Hoeryongcho is that its leaves are pointed and have red spots at the tips.

But… … .

‘does not exist.’

Among the countless objects that came to mind, the Hoeryong Elementary School he was looking for was not there.

But Jang Yi-seo’s expression wasn’t very good.

It’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s that it didn’t exist.

What Cheonma-an shows us is not only what can be seen with the eyes.

All the information seeped in at once, including the invisible side and the emanating scent.

and.

“There it was, Hoeryeong Elementary School.”

The scent that had settled in the corner still remained intact.

How on earth did this happen?

My prediction was right.

The leader was currently addicted to freshwater fish. That’s why he was drinking boiled water from the seaweed.

‘You didn’t know until your constitution changed? How can someone like you be the leader… … No, that’s not what’s important right now.’

Dying. The leader of the clan, Hyun-Cheong, was fighting an illness due to being addicted to the new drug!

‘Retirement will not be easy.’

therefore.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go back to Blind… … It’s that I couldn’t go back!”

It was a night of confusion.
