The World of Sound - Chapter 39



Only Krnovel

“This is fun!”

The rough currents of the Yangtze River were so fast and strong that it was difficult to cross it by boat.

Even though the pirates were using all their might to fight on the boat, the boat was rocking back and forth and almost capsized more than once, and there were a series of extremely dangerous situations, but Cheonhwa was enjoying it to the fullest.

Even if the boat capsized, he would not drown and die, and even if his crew made a mistake, he had the strength and sense of balance to correct the boat’s balance simply by shifting the center of gravity.

“I often want to enjoy it.”

At this point, it seems like people in the martial arts world should come here to enjoy rafting on the rapids rather than wandering around the mountains to cultivate Hoyeonjigi.

‘… … crazy guy.’

Of course, the thoughts of the enemies were completely different.

Unlike Cheonhwa, who was so excited that she jumped up and enjoyed rafting, the others were really having a hard time.

If my craftsmanship had been a little lower, if I hadn’t been with those who had been in sync for a long time, I would have already been reciting the divine image in front of the King of Hell.

I was so tired and sensitive that I never felt as thankful as I did for practicing so hard as I did today.

Even so, I didn’t have the courage to say anything unpleasant to Cheonhwa.

“Whew, Whew. I’ve finally escaped the Eight-Liu-Bong Honjin.”

Still, somehow I managed to get through the first hurdle.

He managed to pull his boat through the rapids that swept in all directions, barely managing to find a way to survive.

In the middle of it, I thought about just abandoning Cheonhwa and diving in, but honestly, I wasn’t confident.

It seems unlikely that such a monstrous thing will survive being swept away by a torrent.

“Already? I was just enjoying it. Hmm. Should I turn around for a bit?”

Thanks to that, the number of enemies was barely able to catch their breath and clear their minds, but Cheonhwa innocently went back and said that they should enjoy it some more.

“I really can’t. I’ve just gotten through a difficult time, and there are still many things I have to overcome. If I lose more physical and mental strength, it will be really difficult to break through.”

From the enemy’s point of view, it was something they had to desperately block.

It was scary to wade through those crazy waves, but the real trouble started now.

The rest is fine.

Because the locations and paths of the institutions and formations that were installed in the future are clearly engraved in their heads.

If you don’t know it, even if you are a member of the Jang River Surochae, this is a place where you have to give up your life. So, if you live in the main building or are in a position to enter and exit the main building, this is a way to survive that you absolutely must learn.

Even if it was possible to pass through without intervention from the checkpoints installed at each branch, Do-gyeom, who was around the 8th Chaeju, would not be able to meet with resistance just by showing his face.

“Hmm. Well then, I guess there’s nothing I can do. I guess I’ll just have to play around on the way back.”

Surely you’re not trying to drag us back in, are you?

The nuns shivered as they felt cold sweat running down their bodies even underwater.

Even though I took a breather, the problem still remained, just as I had told Cheonhwa.

A calm waterway stretches out ahead.

Because crossing that strangely quiet place is terrifying to them too.

“Needles, who is riding?”

That’s why they suddenly started behaving strangely.

We boarded the very narrow ferry, barely able to fit one foot on each side.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. This place is like a forbidden area for us too… … .”

“Forbidden area?”

When Cheonhwa looked at them with bewildered eyes and asked them because it was something he had not permitted, they answered in frightened voices.

I clearly said it was the way to the main building, but it’s suddenly a forbidden area?

Could it be that I have led myself to a strange place?

When I asked them what kind of strange noise they were making, they spoke in a slightly trembling voice, as if they were afraid someone might hear.

“This is where the water ghosts live. It is a place where ghosts who were caught in the water or who tried to violate the main building in the past but were swept away by the current and died, are trapped in the natural law and cannot leave, so they sleep there. That is why even we consider it taboo to enter the water in this area.”

Wheeing-

Saaaaak!

As they were speaking, the sound of water and wind, like a croaking bell, rang through my ears.

The sound of the rapids, which had been rough and roaring until just a moment ago, seemed to have been swallowed up by something, and it definitely felt like an eerie area.

“So, the pirates can’t go into the water because they’re afraid of water ghosts?”

“It’s true. Here, even your handicrafts won’t work as you want them to, and you’ll often get sucked into the water as if your ankles are being pulled by something. Even if you use your inner strength… … .”

“Arai!”

“!!”

Phew

with a plop!!

Cheonhwa, who was watching the men in front of him looking so frightened that they didn’t even look like they were his own kind, clicked his tongue and kicked the butt of the man in front of him.

He also kicked the rest of them into the water.

“Water ghosts are scary, but I’m not scared?”

Thanks to that, the pirates who had been struggling in the water for a while were able to build a statue of a dead person.

“Ha, but… … !”

“Come up here again. Then I will make you one of my kind and not be afraid of water ghosts.”

It’s true. It’s really true.

Although he had a very aggrieved expression on his face, the violence right before his eyes was scarier than a ghost that may or may not exist.

Eventually, the pirates had no choice but to drag the boat back again, almost in tears.

“Everyone, be careful. Don’t incur the wrath of the spirits… … Ugh!”

“Your Majesty!”

And after a while, Do-gyeom, who had been moving in the lead while holding his breath, jumped into the water and surfaced.

“Rat, there’s a rat on my leg… …!”

The number of mice in the water is ridiculous.

It was truly a sad thing, but fortunately, the other subordinates nearby rescued him, so no one drowned.

“Eww! Who, who is it!”

But that was just the beginning.

As we went deeper, strange things started to happen one by one.

At first, he started to scream as he turned around, but then he got scared and became sensitive, and he kept making a fuss, saying that someone was grabbing his ankle.

Although he kept his voice low, saying that it might provoke the spirits, it was still quite a fuss.

‘There’s a lot that’s piled up.’

But this time, Cheonhwa didn’t blame them or look at them with pity.

Because he was watching too.

The fraud that has piled up in this calm waterway.

As they say, there are countless souls here who were buried but were unable to go to the underworld.

‘Even the enemies should be afraid. These are the ones that can’t be cut down with a sword.’

The vengeful spirits were beings that could not be cut down or dispersed even with a sword.

Because of this, it was difficult to purify this place, even with a small number of enemies or extremely strong masters.

It might be better if a monk with high magical power or a Taoist priest with accumulated magical power held a memorial service, but it would be difficult to appease their hearts, so that would not be an easy task either.

‘I guess I have to do it.’

But at the same time, this was also a great strategy.

If someone were to come to attack the main building of the Jang Gang Su Ro Si P Ga, most of them would be dealt with simply by destroying the boat and drowning it.

Maybe the general manager knew about it and was just leaving it alone, but Cheonhwa couldn’t just pass it by.

It was not only because he was blocking his path, but also because the leader was crying.

I am suffering from the evil spirits that spew out terrible evil.

Moreover, music is an act of communing and communicating with heaven and earth.

Since the soul of a person is no different from a part of heaven and earth, it was impossible to just pass by after seeing this.

‘It’d be simple if I just let it go… … but it wouldn’t be easy.’

Simply change the water course temporarily.

If we block the waterways that have become natural dams, thereby opening a path for the spirits to leave, the problem will naturally be resolved over time.

However, it took quite a long time to get all these vengeful spirits out.

There will already be some who are trapped here and can’t leave, and to let them go, we’ll have to block the waterway for a considerable amount of time.

It was not an easy task even for a heavenly being.

Because the waters of the Yangtze River were not that easy.

‘The spirits have no place to escape, and all directions are blocked, but the sky is open.’

But there was a way.

Instead of waiting for them to go out and wander the underworld, each relieving their grudges and returning, if we help them attain Buddhahood, we can send away the vengeful spirits without having to change the water course.

Cheonumshinkong

The place of performance

Requiem

At that moment, Cheonhwa brought her lips to the Binglingokyak.

A warm, sorrowful yet heart-soothing tone emanated from him.

Kiyaaaaak-!

At first I resisted.

The ghosts threatened Cheonhwa by emitting sounds that dug into their hearts as if they did not want to leave, as if they did not know what I was talking about.

“What, what is this?”

Saaaaat-

But that was only for a moment.

For a moment, the boat rocked and even the sailors had to hold on to the boat with all their might to avoid being sucked into the water, but at some point, even that fierce resistance disappeared.

One by one, the vengeful spirits began to be purified and dispersed as the soul-stirring performance of the Heavenly Flower began.

Although the vengeful spirits were not visible to the eye, the bandits intuitively felt that something was happening in this forbidden area.

Something whitish was seen rising above the water like a mist, and then quickly dissipating.

It can’t be a simple optical illusion.

Because their eyes, which are considered to be the best in the martial arts world, were quite accurate.

As the performance continued and repeated, it seemed as if the color of the water had completely changed.

The color of the water, which had been as deep blue as their resentment, gradually became lighter and lighter until it was almost transparent.

“Huh… … ?”

Additionally, the ankle-dragging sensation has completely disappeared.

The moment I entered this place, the cold air that had been overwhelming me was completely washed away, and somehow my body felt lighter.

-……thanks…….

‘… … ?’

At that moment, it seemed like Cheonhwa heard something in his ears, but even when he listened again, he couldn’t hear anything.

Tsuzuzuzuzut!

But I couldn’t just listen forever.

Because it’s not over yet. There’s still work to be done.

‘The law of the infinitesimal mind.’

As the vengeful spirits broke apart, some of the energy that had spread throughout the forbidden area was sucked into one point.

It was precisely the harmony of the Heavenly Sound and the Mind of No Return.

By communicating with heaven and earth, resonating with their energy, and becoming one with them, you can build up the best internal energy in the world, and thus you can properly use the Cheon-eum Shingong, which is a transcendental skill that controls the harmony of heaven and earth.

Because of that, the master made him experience countless things and made him roll from the very bottom.

In the process, I was able to touch the hearts of countless people and build up my inner strength by embracing the energy they possessed, regardless of whether they were ordinary or ordinary people.

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem to be the only reason, but it’s true that it added depth to the performance, so I couldn’t completely deny it.

“Let’s go now.”

After the performance, Cheonhwa, who had absorbed all the energy left behind by the spirits who had attained Buddhahood through the harmony of the Cheonummusangsimbeop, gave instructions to his followers again.

There are no more intruders, so let’s hurry to the main building.

It was something that the enemies couldn’t understand, but for some reason they believed it.

He slowly dragged the boat, and when he saw that the previous ominousness and eerieness had disappeared, he even used his skills to drag the Cheonhwa and quickly left the restricted area.

What appeared next were the institutions and formations established in the eighteenth chapter of the Jang River.

However, since they already had the location and method of finding their path in their heads, they were able to move much more easily than leaving the previous two areas.

“… … ?”

Piyuwoong-!

Phew!!

Meanwhile, a signal flare used by the pirates soared into the sky.

The presence of an intruder was detected and a signal was sent to the main building.

“What is this?”

“Oh, no. Really, no. We don’t know. Didn’t you see? We’re going straight here… … .”

Did they perhaps leave some traces on their way here?

They had no way of knowing since they had moved straight ahead without even stopping by the guard post, but Cheonhwa was urging them when he saw the signal flares flying. The pirates looked really aggrieved.

Because they really didn’t do anything.

“Hmm. Did something else happen?”

That was something that even Cheonhwa acknowledged.

It doesn’t really matter if they do something, but I watched from the sidelines that they didn’t do anything.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Since it’s come to this, let’s go quickly. Before we get in trouble.”

So I didn’t react much and just urged them on.

I’m not afraid of whatever they prepare, but it can be annoying when they activate their organizations and formations.

In that case, it would be better to just confront them and destroy them all.

At Cheonhwa’s urging, the pirates pulled the boat a little faster and headed towards the main building.

If the organization or the formation was activated, it would be difficult for them to remain safe, so they quickly left the remaining area.

“uh……?”

“Hey, hey… … !”

When they crossed all those boundaries, they witnessed an amazing sight.

As if to welcome them, a large fleet of eighteen ships had gathered on the Yangtze River and were waiting.

“Are you a heavenly flower?”

And on the very front, on the huge ship, was the commander of the eighteen Changjiangsu fleet, Jin Ju-gwang.

“Are you waiting for me?”

Dozens of ships and hundreds of pirates on board.

Anyone would have been tired of seeing these people, each of whom was above the ranks of first-class masters, emitting powerful waves of energy like military discipline, but Cheonhwa actually looked interested.

“Of course. And you use the sound box?”

“Hoo, that too?”

Although he had already announced his intention to visit through Haomun, I thought he had barged in without me knowing, and I was curious as to how he had known and waited for him. It was also surprising that he spoke so confidently that his martial arts were yin arts.

It’s not that I tried to hide it, but anyone who was affected by me didn’t believe or didn’t want to believe that they were affected by the evil spirit until the end.

This is because in martial arts, sound magic is still considered a form of sorcery.

They never thought that the Yin Gong could have such a powerful force, and they were ashamed of having been hit by the Yin Gong.

Therefore, even if rumors about him spread, there was a high probability that the part about his sexuality was omitted or misinterpreted.

Even Haomen didn’t believe all the information about his martial arts and bravery.

However, the author seemed as if he was confident.

‘Or maybe that’s why I look down on it more.’

“Hahaha. Do you think I wasn’t prepared for your sudden visit?”

First memory

Then, as Jinju Gwang raised his hand, the pirates standing on top of each ship each took out something.

“That’s interesting. But is it really that much?”

musical instrument.

It was a musical instrument.

He knew that the martial art he was using was a sound technique, and he was probably trying to cover up the sound with sound.

Even though the understanding of yin qi was low, it seemed that the belief was that one could block or weaken one’s yin qi simply by striking internal energy to create a loud sound wave.

But is that really true?

Because producing sounds so loud that they are ear-splitting was only the most basic of the basics among the sound engineers.

If you only saw Cheon Eum Shin Gong at that level, it would be disappointing.

“Of course not. Do you think that’s all?”

“… … ?”

Whether he knew it or not, Jinju Kwang waved his raised hand again as if he had prepared something more.

Along with that, things that even Cheonhwa had never expected poured out from inside the ship.

“Huh?”

cooking.

It was cooking.

A multitude of dishes are brought out and fill the deck.

Cheonhwa couldn’t even react to that absurd sight and just blinked.

Could it be that there is some kind of recipe for using cooking?

While he was hesitating because he had never heard of such a thing even from his master, Jin Ju-kwang gave an order.

“Let’s start.”

“Well, I guess so.”

I don’t know what their plan is, but it doesn’t matter.

No matter what you decorate or prepare, once you get hit, you’ll realize that it’s all in vain.

‘With this many people… … .’

The Heavenly Flower is ready to fly while holding the Ice Spirit Medicine.

I chose the notes to use by scanning the elite of the eighteen classes of Jang Gang Su Ro, which numbered in the hundreds.

“Okay, then… … .”

At that moment, Jinju Kwang struck first.

“Play the music!!!”

“… … ??”

Then the sound of music bursts out.

It was a pure performance, not a sound or anything.

Although the sound was loud and awkward, it was difficult to regard it as an attack on oneself.

“Welcome to the main building of the Jang Gang Su Ro Si Pal Chae?”

At the same time, a large, long flag fluttering at the front caught Cheonhwa’s bewildered eyes.

There was also an absurd phrase written there.
