#Whereabouts of the Mad Dog (1)

The danjeon is the most delicate and complex area of ​​all.

It was possible to get the bet out of the hole, but when I tried to put it back into another hole, it exploded and flew in all directions.

It’s as if the danjeon has a defensive instinct to protect itself.

“Ugh… … .”

A thousand evil feelings dominated my mind, and I was overcome with the feeling of wanting to grab anyone and tear them to pieces, skin and bones.

What happened when the magic that was forming the road suddenly dispersed.

Jang-seo tightly grabbed his trembling right wrist. His short fingernail dug deep into it, and blood flowed out. It was so hard to endure that he became foolish.

But right then.

“Hey, Assistant Jang?”

The back door opened and Maeng Hui’s timid voice flowed in. At the same time, Jang Yiseo’s head turned sharply.

Pfft!

And then, like a storm, the new model flew away. It quickly grabbed the startled Maeng-Hwi by the neck.

“Huh, hmph?! So, Assistant Jang… … ?”

Bloodshot red eyes. An intimidating demeanor as if he could be eaten at any moment.

Maeng Hui was terrified and lost in thought. His whole body was shaking and his groin was numb.

How could someone who was not like that at all exude a murderous aura that would shock the world and even make the devil sect stand against him?

I’m starting to feel short of breath and my pupils are dilating.

“Ugh… … .”

At this, Jang-seo bit his tongue and made a black ink stick with the sanity he had barely managed to hold onto. Pfft pfft! Then he pressed the acupuncture point on his arm hard enough to leave a bruise.

Then, thud.

The power going to his hand was cut off, and Maeng-hui fell to the floor, coughing like a lifeline.

If I had been just a little bit later, it would have been a disaster.

‘after…….’

Jang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then shouted out loud.

“What are you going to do if you suddenly come in like that! Have you forgotten that it is absolutely taboo to approach someone without permission?!”

“I, I’m sorry! I just… … I’m sorry… … . It was my fault… … .”

Maeng Hui lowered his head and sobbed. Jang Yi-seo saw this and swallowed a deep sigh of frustration.

“It’s not that you did anything wrong, Prince Yuk… … but didn’t you almost get hurt?”

“uh……?”

“There are many people practicing dangerous magic within the school. This means that anyone who approaches them could be in danger. Just like now.”

“No, I’m fine… … .”

“It’s okay! Come here and see.”

Jang-seo approached Maeng-hui, who was sitting down. Then, with eyes full of self-reproach, he examined the area around his neck, which was swollen and red.

At this, Maeng Hui asked with an expression of incomprehension.

“Are you… worried about me? Or are you angry?”

“Why are you angry? It was my fault.”

“But your voice sounds angry… … .”

“You’re mad at me, at me. Don’t keep asking me questions. It’s bothering you.”

Jang Yi-seo lowered his posture and examined Maeng Hui’s wounds carefully.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries. That’s because the damage was minor. If it had gone any further, it would have been a disaster.

He let out a sigh of relief and said while wrapping his arms around Maeng-hui’s shoulders as he lowered his head.

“From now on, please ask outside in advance. If you don’t get an answer, don’t come in.”

“Uh, yeah… … !”

You’re good at answering questions. But what’s with those eyes?

Maeng-Hwi’s eyes sparkle brightly. Suddenly, he feels as if something sticky like a snail is clinging to his body…

“But where are you going?”

At first glance, he is dressed neatly and neatly, and he even has a water bottle hanging from his waist.

Maeng Hui, whose face had suddenly turned bright red at Jang Yi-seo’s question, answered as if he was excited.

“I think I should go to my parents’ house sometime. I’ve been away for too long. Don’t worry too much. I’ll be back soon!”

“Yeah, whatever.”

But why is he coming back here? Jang Yi-seo tilted his head.

But I didn’t say much because I had a sin. Besides, there were some good points to having Maeng-hui.

For example, asking him to run errands or becoming Mao’s training partner.

“Anyway, Assistant Jang. I don’t know what kind of magic you’re practicing, but… … there’s blood everywhere in the room. I hope you take breaks while practicing.”

Sigh. Who cares about whom? Jang Yi-seo laughed in vain and gestured for them to go quickly.

“Have a nice trip.”

“huh……!”

Maeng Hui soon smiled brightly again and set off.

Then Jang-seo turned around and looked at the blood-stained mess, then sighed deeply.

My body is in terrible shape and I am exhausted to try again.

Anyway, this attempt failed.

The reason was clear.

“You can send a bet through a hole, but you can’t get it back. It’s like the outside of a castle wall that you escaped through a hole is full of armed guards.”

I was foolish. I thought too lightly of the incomprehensible realm called Danjeon.

but…….

Shh, a smile appears on Jang Yi-seo’s lips.

“It’s not like I have no clue at all.”

It wasn’t a complete failure. Strictly speaking, it was a half success.

“The path of internal energy was clearly connected to the outside of the dantian. All you had to do was find a way back. This alone would be a tremendous achievement.”

Jang Yiseo’s eyes were filled with hope. Anyway, he knew the method, so all that was left was to challenge it.

However, I thought that the number of times I could try would not be that many since the magic would be scattered every time I failed.

Maybe one day you’ll fall into a state of obsession with money and not be able to control your body.

“Not yet. There’s something I have to do before that.”

The first priority was to keep his promise to Ma-ui to find his whereabouts. It was only natural to return what you received.

If the identity and whereabouts are unknown, the first thing to do is to find someone who might know.

“The one who came out of the unmarried mountain is the slaughterhouse. So the slaughterhouse would know best.”

Sa Ho-jeong, the second of the Sa brothers and a wanted mad dog.

First, let’s find that person.

Jang Yi-seo prepared simple equipment including a white lightning bolt and a dagger and went out of the annex.

I was planning to stop by Horongdang first. By now, he’d be following Sahojeong more than anyone else.

“What, where are you going?”

As we come out into the garden, Mao greets us, wiping his face with a towel.

Judging by his body covered in sweat, he seemed to have been to the main building and the restroom several times.

‘That’s pretty good.’

In the past, he would have been the one who would have asked what kind of training he was doing after the party, but now he works hard even without me watching him closely.

The humiliation he felt in the slaughterhouse must have been great, but the sense of accomplishment from making small progress must have also played a role.

A truly desirable process.

“I’m going out for a bit.”

“I heard Aesong went home earlier. Where is she going? Should I go with her?”

Mao asked with a slightly excited expression. Zhang Yi shook his head after a brief moment of thought.

“No. If you want to go and come back today, it would be burdensome to go together.”

“What? You’re supposed to be my assistant, but you keep disappearing. Where are you going? You know. I’m in good shape. I even carried you and ran.”

I know that very well. That’s all I can believe.

“That still won’t work.”

“Oh, why!”

“I’ll take the shortcut. It’s a rough mountain road.”

“What is that? I’m good at climbing mountains!”

“Then is this okay too?”

Jang Seo took a shallow breath and jumped lightly. Boom! Then, with the hem of his clothes fluttering, he flew up and landed lightly on a thin tree branch standing in the garden.

Mao, who was watching this, looked at him with a dumbfounded expression like a dog chasing a chicken.

“Just being able to jump well is not enough. You need to be able to freely handle your weight. To do that, you need to move the yin and yang energy within your body. We call this light exercise.”

“Lightweight… … . Can I do it too?”

Zhang Yishu looks down at Mao, who is excited with anticipation.

He is full of yang energy and severely lacks yin energy. In other words, he can increase his weight, but it is difficult to lose it, and delicate movements are not easy.

Of course, it’s not impossible. Among the sheep masters, there were definitely those whose lightness technique had reached the extreme.

However, it is true that it is more difficult to learn light martial arts than others.

‘I should find out some light-hearted techniques that would suit Mao.’

Of course, after all urgent matters have been resolved.

Phew!

Jang-seo kicked off the tree branch and, fluttering his clothes like an elegant crane, climbed over the wall and disappeared.

The leaves rustled gently, as if to remind us that he had been there.

“You should give me the answer before you go! Hey! Jang-seo-!”

With Mao’s yearning echo.

*

– Mahaesan Horyondang.

The sun, which had been slanted at Chilsogung, had now reached its zenith. Jang-i-seo finally arrived at the sloping road in front of Horyeongdang.

This is my second time here, but the first time I’ve seen it with a clear mind.

“There won’t be any thieves.”

A straight uphill road. It’s quite long and steep.

“But did he carry me all the way here?”

I remembered the last time I was hit by an arrow shot by Yodosun and ran to Mao on his back. I felt a renewed sense of regret and gratitude.

When I think about how a guy who doesn’t even know how to properly use light air could have carried me all the way here.

“I should buy you some chicken.”

Jang I-seo smiled gently and climbed the last hill. Then, at the end of the increasingly narrow path, a gate and wall with a tiger carved on it came into view.

One of the five dragon factions, a central force in the Demonic Cult.

It was the Horongdang led by Ji Dae-ho.

“What brings you here?”

As we arrived at the gate, a warrior from the tower above us spoke to us.

A yellow and black tiger patterned martial arts uniform that exudes arrogance and pride.

‘What brings you here… … .’

Jang-i-seo glanced at the top of the castle tower and raised the corners of his mouth without being seen.

If I were the head of the counterintelligence unit, I would have answered any questions that came to me in a clear manner, but that is no longer the case.

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Jang Il-seo began to glare at the person who asked the question with a sharp look in his eyes.

“hmm!”

Then the gatekeeper gasps in surprise.

Although he only let out a small amount of magic energy, it was the internal energy of the Heavenly Demon that even the Sixth Master, Meng Hui, could not withstand.

Let’s add a little bit of life to this, and sweat pours down the gatekeeper’s face like rain.

“Oh, how… … .”

It was clearly him who was above. In his eyes, Jang Seo was now like a giant mountain range looking down on him.

It’s natural to feel your stomach churn with fear and your sphincter muscles lose their strength.

The gatekeeper finally fell to his knees in shock, unable to bear it any longer.

“What is going on… … Hmph!”

The gatekeepers who sensed the problem and rushed out were no different.

‘What kind of murderous intent is this… …!’

Jang Yi-seo showed off his presence by flowing with strong momentum without fail.

It’s not even a day of robbery, and it’s a greeting method that is unimaginable in a political party.

But this is a demonic cult.

It was a place where the weak were eaten, and the strong were respected.

Moreover, it is impossible to just ignore it even though you clearly know that you are being teased.

‘It hasn’t been that long since I came here. Of course, you wouldn’t have recognized me. But pretending not to know me and treating me like that is deliberate ignorance. It must have been because the aide who came on the back of the scoundrel Chil-gong-ja didn’t look good.’

I understood, but I couldn’t tolerate it.

So, I don’t feel like it, but I have no choice but to show it.

Shh …

A vast amount of murderous energy poured out from Jang Yi-seo’s body as if a dam had collapsed.

A fierce and courageous spirit honed by the magic of the Heavenly Horse.
