The party will not fall
A Murim purgatory made of uneven stones and covered in mold.
Even in this dungeon where not a single light is allowed, there are times when the sun shines.
When a new prisoner comes in or when the body of a dead prisoner is removed.
This time it was the former.
Sigh.
Two men in black came into purgatory, each holding a prisoner’s arm.
The prisoner being dragged around had a terrible appearance, as if he had already suffered quite a bit of torture.
A woman came in behind the man in black and the prisoner.
The men in black opened the rusty bar door and threw the prisoner inside.
Pow!
“Ugh… .”
The prisoner who hit the wall slowly turned around and groaned softly.
The woman nodded to the people in black.
“Stay out.”
The prostrate men in black went out without making a sound while stepping on the rough floor.
A woman brought a chair from the purgatory and sat down in front of the prisoner.
“There is never a law to release a criminal imprisoned in purgatory. “The only way is to die and become crow’s food.”
The prisoner laughed and responded.
“so?”
“You are not officially in purgatory yet. Not yet.”
“If I blow it right, I’ll take it out for you?”
“okay.”
The woman lowered her posture and looked directly at the prisoner.
The prisoner also looked at her eyes without wavering.
The woman opened her mouth.
“Seven years ago, the Sacheondangmun planned to destroy the Murim Alliance by joining forces with foreign powers. The head of the Min family, who collected the secret letters of the Tang family, cooperated with the Qingcheng faction and the Jeomchang faction to destroy the Tang clan and block the plan.”
The prisoner gave off a gloomy look as if asking him to say more.
“There was only one person, Mr. Dang, who was missed in the process.”
The prisoner knew very well who Mr. Tang was.
The Three Confucius of the Tang Dynasty.
He was born with no bones and was said to be brilliant from a young age, so he attracted the attention of his family members.
However, I was uncomfortable with the attention as I had no desire to be the head of the family.
When the Three Dukes began to recognize themselves as rivals, the three princes suddenly left Sichuan, taking only one member of the defense force with them.
Five years later, news came that the succession competition had ended with the Duke of Il being appointed to the position of Sojiazhu.
Accordingly, the Three Confucius set off to return to Sichuan.
And three days and nights before the return of the Three Dukes, the Tang Gate was burned down.
“It’s you, Dang Bi-hyeon.”
The prisoner, Dang Bi-hyeon, sat with his hands on the floor.
After running away for seven years, he was finally captured and his appearance was extremely shabby.
“Let me ask you now, Dang Bi-hyeon. “Which party partner cooperated with us to take down the Murim Alliance?”
“… … .”
“Apostles? Demonic religion?”
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”
The woman’s expression became cold.
Regardless of the woman’s expression, Dang Bi-hyeon laughed until she was out of breath and even shed tears.
If I had all the energy, I would have been laughing for hours on end.
The woman shouted with all her might.
“Which one!”
Tang Feixian’s face also became infinitely cold at her shouting.
“Hey, Danju Chae. “You want the truth?”
“of course… .”
“Isn’t there something you want to hear?”
Veins appeared on the forehead of the woman called Cai Danju.
She gritted her teeth and got up from the chair.
He comes inside the bars and grabs Dang Bi-hyeon by the hair.
“Stop acting cool and just blow. Anyway, you… .”
The woman could not finish her sentence and just swallowed dry saliva.
Dang Bi-hyeon did not miss her shaking eyes for a moment.
He said this calmly.
“I’ll tell you what you want to hear.”
The woman’s breathing was heavy.
She tried to say something, but Dang Bi-hyeon was faster.
“Tangmun colluded with Demonicism to destroy the political faction, Wulin, and bring about chaos in the central plains. They put all other factions under their feet, mocked the council, and sought to humiliate the emperor. Could there be a group more vicious than this?”
Dang Bi-hyeon, who suddenly changed his tone like an electrician, continued giggling.
“however! As the just head of the Min family noticed the subversive movements of the Tang family and were willing to realize justice, the Cheongseong faction and the Jeomchang faction, recognizing the chivalrous spirit of the head of the Min family, gathered together and punished the evildoers. Even Dang Bi-hyeon, the last germ of the disaster, was captured by Chae Se-yeon and Danju of the Iron Blood Combat Association… .”
Now he ends the story in a calmer tone.
“May the Murim Alliance prosper for a long time to come.”
At that moment, Chae Se-yeon’s complexion suddenly changed.
Dang Bi-hyeon’s suspicious movements were captured.
“you you! “What is this, gathering energy in your heart!”
“It’s so dirty here. “Hell would be much better.”
“Holy shit… .”
There was nothing Chae Se-yeon could do.
Soon, a loud sound erupted from Dang Bi-hyeon’s chest.
He slowly lowered his head with fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
It was a death that did not even pass by.
* * *
Young Jeomsoi of Yuseong Gaekjan had a headache since early morning.
The guest who stayed on the second floor the day before came down the stairs in confusion and asked various questions.
Those are basic things that anyone would know.
“Is this really Yuseong Gaekjan?”
“Yes, that’s right. “How many times do I have to tell you for you to believe me?”
“That Yuseong Gaekjan, half a day away from Sacheondangmun?”
“Ah, that’s right!”
The customer frowned.
Then he thrust his face towards Jeomsoy.
“Do I have a scar on my face?”
“ha. no. “You look handsome without any blemishes.”
“The scar… doesn’t exist?”
Jeomsoy, reaching his limit, shouted.
“doesn’t exist! No! “If you don’t believe me, there’s a pond outside, so go and see for yourself!”
“Why the sound… .”
A guest who was almost kicked out looked up and checked the signboard in the guesthouse.
“It’s a real Yooseong Guest Cup.”
The guest went to the pond that Jeomsoi had told him about and fell down in front of it.
The neat black hair reflected in the pond was shiny, and the face with brown eyes had no scars or wounds.
The guest reflected in the water was a young man with an incredibly handsome appearance.
The young man blinked.
‘young. ‘Why is my face so young?’
When I was confused for a while, I heard a strong voice from behind.
“Jumsoy was angry. “I think Confucius has lost his mind.”
The young man turned his head.
“Escort Yang?”
“Yes, Confucius.”
A middle-aged man with an exciting appearance looked at the boy, wearing a long sword on his waist.
It was Yang Seok-jun, Dang Bi-hyeon’s bodyguard.
Yuseong Gaekjan. Yang escort. young face.
Dang Bi-hyeon, who put all the facts together, figured out the situation.
“It’s the day we enter Sacheon.”
There was no way I could forget it.
On this day, Dang Bi-hyeon was born again at the age of 20.
It was the day he returned to his family after hearing the news that the succession order had been sorted out, and it was also the day he was attacked for revealing that he was Dang Bi-hyeon in the street.
‘In the process of escaping the besieged me out of Sacheon, Guard Yang ended up losing his life.’
Dang Bi-hyeon, who returned to the guesthouse, sat quietly in a chair and was lost in worry.
He didn’t even touch the porridge that Jeomsoi had brought for breakfast.
Guard Yang spoke carefully.
“Hey, Confucius. What’s happening all of a sudden?”
“quietly. “Let me think for a moment.”
“yes.”
“Just be quiet and don’t answer.”
The guard, as if perplexed, nodded his head silently.
Then, as he was about to carefully eat his share of porridge, Dang Bi-hyeon jumped up from his seat.
It was so sudden that the chair fell backwards.
“End of thought. Let’s go, escort Yang.”
“All right. But already?”
“huh. “Come out quickly.”
As Dang Bi-hyeon went outside, Yang Guard quickly took care of the funeral.
I didn’t forget to quickly inhale the porridge before leaving.
Yang Howie, who had already caught up with Dang Fei-hyeon, who was already far away, wiped the corner of his mouth with his tongue and said.
“Even if you’re not hungry, eat some.”
“are you okay.”
Dang Feixian’s mind was elsewhere as he answered mechanically.
‘I can’t save my family. ‘It’s already too late.’
The party gate was already attacked three days ago.
If it had been further in the past, I would have tried to change the future somehow, but as of now, back on the day of my return to Sacheon, there was nothing I could change.
Except for Tang Feixian, all family members died.
You have to accept it.
In contrast to my heart that was pounding hotly, my head felt cold.
“Escort Yang.”
“yes.”
“Get your mind straight from now on.”
In the unusual atmosphere, Guard Yang’s tone of voice also changed to be cautious.
“All right. however… “What happened all of a sudden this morning?”
“You will find out when you arrive in Sacheon.”
Dang Bi-hyeon reflected on his current self and what level he was seven years ago.
‘It’s not much different from before I died. ‘Of course.’
While living on the run, martial arts training and fortune-telling breakfast are luxuries. Instead, every day was training and training as I ran away from pursuit.
Although we went back 7 years, there were no significant changes other than a little weakness in the muscles.
Dang Bi-hyeon looked at Howie as if he was walking at the same pace as himself.
‘Howie Yang probably thinks I’m still top-notch.’
You might think that we are still focusing on practicing Tang family Quan.
Yang Guard used to send letters to Tangmun every season, and the owner was so proud that Tang Bihyeon himself deceived the military official.
It was a way to naturally avoid the succession competition.
But it is meaningless now that the family is ruined.
Guard Yang will soon confirm Tang Fei-hyeon’s true value.
“Escort Yang.”
The time entered the afternoon.
Dang Fei-hyeon, standing in front of Sacheon’s Jeju Street, called for Yang’s escort.
“I’ll ask you to run some errands for me.”
“All right. “What errand is this?”
“Just buy five or six memorized tools from the blacksmith shop. However, if you ask for your identity, give a fake answer.”
As Dang Fei-hyeon kept saying meaningful things, Yang Guard also vaguely noticed something.
He noticed that the street was noisier than usual and that there were many unmanned people.
“… “After I have memorized it, I will come back here.”
“okay.”
As if receiving orders, the escort disappeared into the streets.
Dang Bi-hyeon, who was left alone, went into the guesthouse right in front and ordered noodles.
‘I should have had breakfast at Yuseong Gaekjan.’
Tang Feixian began emptying the noodle bowl at a steady pace.
I couldn’t taste it.
This was because I was paying all my attention to the voices of the people in the room.
“Do you believe the story that Tangmun joined hands with Black Island?”
“You sound like you don’t believe me.”
“I may not know much about the minds of the martial arts people, but I can confidently say that I know the insides of people. “Why would Tang Wen, the best scholar in Sichuan, do such a foolish thing?”
“It’s so frustrating. When Min Jiajang destroyed Tangmun, the Qingcheng faction and the Jeomchang faction also helped. “Did they help for no reason?”
“Well, it can’t be done unless there is solid evidence.”
‘The whole of Sichuan was in an uproar, but no one knew the truth.’
Dang Bi-hyeon was also the same.
So, after fleeing from Sacheon, I investigated the truth of the incident for seven years.
We had finally found out who was involved in the destruction of the Tang Dynasty and who was behind it.
However, just before reaching the conclusion, he was captured by Chae Se-yeon, the leader of the Cheonna clan, and ended his life by committing suicide.
Still, one thing was certain.
Tangmun is innocent.
“Confucius.”
“Welcome, escort Yang.”
Late night.
Guard Yang, who had finally returned, pushed something covered with cloth to Dang Feixian.
When I took a quick peek, I saw that there were beads attached to the belt for storing memorization.
“I heard a rumor on the way there.”
Tang Feixian nodded.
“That’s mostly true. Sacheondangmun was at the crossroads of life and death. “If we die too, the party will fall.”
“Are the rumors that the family colluded with the Black Island true?”
“I don’t know.”
Dang Bi-hyeon took the belt for storing memorization and came out.
He pointed with his chin in a direction.
The place that Yang Guard turned his head to look at was Tangmun Manor.
Originally, it should have been full of light, but instead it was so dark that it felt gloomy.
Dang Bi-hyeon walked without hesitation and said.
“I have to check now.”
Then he jumped up onto the roof of the guest house and lightly stepped on the roof tiles.
There was no sound during this series of processes.
Howie Yang was impressed.
‘In just a few days, my walking skills improved a lot. Are you truly a born martial artist?’
He lamented that the family that would allow Dang Bi-hyeon’s talent to flourish had disappeared, and he followed suit and kicked the paper.
