The World of Sound - Chapter 58
Only Krnovel
“Are you the evil dragon?”
The place Cheonhwa arrived at, guided by Dangmimi, was the main building, which could be said to be the heart of the Dang family.
Located at the very center of the Tang family, protected by all sorts of temples and organs, and where even those entering were strictly restricted, the head of the Tang family greeted Cheonhwa with a fierce look in his eyes, resting his elbows on his hands and interlocking his fingers.
“I am the head of the Tang family, Tang Sang-ak.”
The supreme prayer that is revealed with it.
Besides, he was a party leader.
The head of the Sacheon Dangga clan, known as the lord of poison.
Those who are weak in martial arts would cringe at the sight of those eyes, and would sweat coldly, wondering if their racing heart was a symptom of addiction.
“Father! What kind of attitude is that towards a guest! You’re the one who saved my life!!”
“Ah, no. Mimi. It’s not that. It’s the dignity of the party leader… …!”
“What about dignity! Is that more important than your daughter’s life? If you keep acting like this, I’m going to tell your mother about it?!”
However, he was the head of the household and the father of a child.
That too is the ultimate love for a daughter.
It was quite funny to see the man who had been spewing out such terrifying prayers being flustered by his daughter’s screams, but Cheonhwa simply scratched her head and answered calmly.
“I am the 7th Heavenly Sound Lord, Cheonhwa. He is also called the Evil Dragon.”
It used to be a somewhat overbearing attitude, but now it’s hard to find it, and since the other person introduced themselves first according to etiquette, it was proper to introduce myself as well.
At those words, the owner of the house, who had been whining under the pressure of his daughter, seemed to have seized the opportunity and quickly changed the subject to speak.
“Cheonummun? This is my first time hearing of it. May I ask where you have it?”
If you look at the 7 generations in the name of the sect that you hear for the first time, even its history is short.
Besides, at that young age, Moon Ju-ran was obviously a small and insignificant firefighter.
It was natural for him to be disappointed, but Dang Sang-ak did not ignore or look down on him.
If, as my daughter said, I could save the Yongbong branch and somehow subdue an opponent who was presumed to be a top-notch expert, then the size of the sect would no longer matter.
If his martial arts skills were truly at their peak at that age, then that in itself would be no different from the Daemun sect.
Even though he is not a great sect leader, he is the only one who has formed a sect, and it is good to see him as a mysterious sect, so people are showing interest.
“Well? I don’t think there’s a specific place that you’re based in. I’ve been in Guizhou recently, but I don’t think I’ve been staying in one specific place.”
“Hmm. I see. If you don’t mind, may I ask your name?”
“It’s called Danho Lake. I don’t know if you know it or not.”
“You must be a genius in the martial arts world. It’s amazing how you raised someone like me.”
Even though he heard the name of his master, Dang Sang-ak’s expression still showed that he did not know.
Since Cheonhwado thought that he would be in the world of martial arts if his master was in a good mood, he only thought that it might happen, and since even Haomen, where information of the world was gathered, did not know about it, he did not have high expectations.
“Your parents?”
“I am an orphan. Both of my parents passed away when I was young. After that, I followed my master.”
“I see.”
Then, out of the blue, he asked about his parents, but it wasn’t such a painful past anymore.
Because it was a story from quite some time ago.
Of course, from the perspective of the water, the owner of the house made a slightly apologetic expression, but soon nodded and got back to the main topic.
“Yeah. You saved Mimi from the Yongbong branch, right?”
“What, how did it come to this?”
“You’re more humble than I thought. I haven’t seen it myself, but if you have the skills I’ve heard about, you might be arrogant.”
“It’s not humility, it’s skill. It really wasn’t anything special!”
It was a remark that seemed to be a remark about a heavenly flower, but it was not a heavenly flower that would be intimidated by things like status or position.
What if he goes to a place that isn’t even his family? What if he’s a lowly servant?
However, the reason why he accepted his words so well was because he had something great to receive from him.
“Hmm. Then the compensation doesn’t have to be anything special, right?”
“That’s a separate matter. It may not have been a big deal to me, but it might not have been to you, my lord. If that’s how you think about your daughter’s life, then you can just settle the bill. What I offered in the first place was a compensation that you thought was worth your own life.”
The stock price rose again due to the provocation that was not a provocation, but it was not able to recover the principal.
Rather, it could be said that he suffered a great loss because he was forced to offer the price of his daughter’s life.
“Ahem. I was joking. My daughter’s life is at stake… … This is truly a difficult problem. I would give my life for this child. Do you by any chance want the position of the head of the family?”
The party’s answer was half serious, half joking.
It was a reply to Cheonhwa’s words, but it was also a harsh remark made while considering Cheonhwa as a candidate for a son-in-law, as there was a story he had already heard from his daughter.
“Oh my, and Dad too!”
“100 million!”
Phew!
Although Dangmimi’s shameful blow, which made her waist bend for a moment after understanding the meaning, her eyes were still searching Cheonhwa thoroughly.
“Hey, what good is a seat? I like material things. Things I can touch.”
“I’m going to go home~.”
However, Cheonhwa, who did not know the English language, simply gave an answer in her own way.
However, their understanding of the material things that could be said was different.
“Whew… … Good. I don’t have the confidence to break this child’s stubbornness, so I’ll allow it.”
“… … Permission?”
After that, the head of the household looked at Dang Mimi and Cheonhwa with strange eyes for a while, then took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind and declared.
It means that I will allow Dangmimi’s will.
Cheonhwa, who didn’t know what it was, just thought that there was some kind of compensation she had proposed, but before he could ask again, Danggaju continued speaking with a sharp gaze.
“But! You have to take the test according to our family tradition. I have heard about it from you, but I have never seen it myself.”
“Test? Do I really have to take it?”
The idea is to take the test according to family tradition.
It wasn’t even a suggestion, it was more of a notification.
Cheonhwa looked annoyed at the fact that she had to take a test to receive her reward, but she couldn’t help it because it was the family tradition.
I just thought that Sacheondangga was actually a huge slaughterhouse, contrary to rumors.
Not knowing that the family tradition that the head of the household is talking about, or the test that is taken when choosing a son-in-law, is the same.
“Of course! There can be no exceptions when it comes to obtaining our family’s treasure.”
However, the explanation that followed made me change my mind a little.
I didn’t like the idea of having to take a test, but didn’t they say that if I just passed the test, they would give me the family’s treasure as a gift?
I don’t know for sure, but if it was called the treasure of the Tang family, it could have been sold for a huge amount of money.
‘Or should I ask them to open the warehouse instead?’
Also, if it was the warehouse of the Tang family, which was said to own and produce all the secret weapons in the world, then there might be one of the items he was looking for.
If it was an opportunity to obtain items that could not be obtained even if one paid a thousand gold coins, it was certainly not something one would turn down.
“Okay, then let’s do it!”
“Your spirit is useful. However, it won’t be easy. It’s just a test, but if you’re not careful, you could lose your life.”
Of course I accept the offer.
Although the head of the household was satisfied with the sight, he warned Cheonhwa with a complicated look in his eyes, but Cheonhwa did not listen to him.
“I’m really looking forward to that!”
Even the Poison King, one of the three evil spirits known as the Three Kings and Three Ghosts, would not be able to cause trouble for himself unless he personally intervened.
No, honestly, I was confident even if the Poison King came forward.
Rather, he probably thought it was a good opportunity to test out his newly discovered powers of the Ice Spirit.
So he confidently told them to take the test, and the owner of the house also seemed interested in such a thing and gave directions outside without hesitation.
“Look here! Light the lantern at the back door immediately and take the evil dragon away!”
Even though we finally arrived at the main building of the Tang family, we were instructed to take Cheonhwa back to the back gate.
It was strange, but since I had already decided to do it, there was no reason to grumble.
Cheonhwa obediently followed the instructions and left the manor, then stood in front of the back door, which was like a side door.
“Gaga. Please be careful.”
Squeak-
The red lantern came on and the back door opened.
This was followed by a brief explanation of the Tang family to Cheon-hwa, who knew nothing about it.
“The test is simple. Just follow this path and enter the inner quarters. However, there will be three obstacles along the way. You must pass through them without extinguishing the flame of this lamp. Let’s not discuss the means and methods. If you somehow manage to pass within half an hour, I will acknowledge you.”
“It’s simple.”
The test itself given to Cheonhwa was simple.
All you have to do is walk along the road.
However, the obstacles placed here and there were not that simple.
Because there are some extremely sweet and dangerous things waiting for you.
“Then can I go right away?”
But whatever it was, it didn’t matter to Cheonhwa.
He simply accepts the lantern and enters the back door with light steps.
Squeak-
Kuung
As soon as Cheonhwa entered, the back door closed and the formation was activated at the same time. Even though it was clearly broad daylight, a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere engulfed the lively Dangga estate, making it gloomy.
“I wonder if anyone would say no… … It’s been a joke from the start.”
Cheonhwa glanced at the sight, clicked her tongue, and looked at the lantern she was holding.
The formation is nothing more than an eye-catcher.
The real story started from this lantern.
The candle in the lantern is made of something, and the smoke that leaks out from it is designed to gradually distract the viewer while their gaze is diverted.
Single people’s home.
A fragrance that blurred the opponent’s reason was slowly leaking out from the lantern.
“Even so, it’s just a joke.”
But he was no match for Cheonhwa.
Although the bachelor’s fragrance is something that can create a gap in even those with the strongest mental power, it does not work on those with mental power beyond the limit of Cheonhwa.
Also, since it delves into the moments when you let your guard down and let your guard down, if you keep your mind awake, you may not be able to allow a gap to be created, and even if you do create a gap, it is difficult to have much fun unless something is added that can turn that gap into a huge crack.
In that sense, it was difficult to bring about any change in Cheonhwa with just these things placed in front of him.
“Ah, it would be perfect if we catch these guys and make them drink alcohol.”
Shh- shh- shh-
As Cheonhwa walked away as if it was nothing, snakes of all sizes began to appear from all directions.
These are poisonous snakes that can kill you instantly if bitten by one.
From the Seven Treasures that would kill anyone bitten before they could take seven steps, to those that would slowly cause death while causing all sorts of terrible pain, dozens and hundreds of poisonous snakes worthy of the name of the Tang family blocked his path, but Cheonhwa did not stop walking.
Rather, he just looked back at them with a regretful look on his face, his mouth watering.
“… … !!”
In those eyes, the murderous intent and greed contained within them made my mind scatter for a moment.
They were always in the position of predators, but at this moment, they were scared like prey standing in front of a predator.
“Wait, wasn’t there something specifically said not to touch it?”
The way to get through them was actually simple.
It seemed like the path was blocked, but whether it was due to the formation or training, it did not approach in a straight line that led straight ahead.
In the first place, what these snakes are testing is not the opponent’s strength, resistance to venom, or coping ability, but a kind of courage.
It was a test of the opponent’s mental strength to see if he could cut through the path full of poisonous snakes without hesitation, so if he just walked straight ahead, he would be able to pass easily.
In that sense, even the statement that the party does not have to choose between means and methods could be considered a kind of trap.
To hide the fact that you can get through without doing anything.
Cheonhwa thought for a moment about just passing by because he had guessed it, but soon changed his mind.
Whatever the intention of the questioner, if the result is what is desired in the end, doesn’t it matter how the process is?
“Hey guys, don’t you want to go somewhere nice?”
Cheonhwa smiled faintly and picked up the Bingryeongokyak.
At the same time, I untied the bundle I had tied on my back and threw it in front of them. They gritted their teeth, but I ignored them and started playing.
“… … ?”
Gulp gulp
The vipers began to dance to the sound of the flute.
As if they couldn’t control their own bodies, they stood upright and swayed from side to side, and then one by one they began to crawl into the package that Cheonhwa had thrown.
Thanks to this, dozens of poisonous snakes were tangled together and made a mess, but they did not bite or eat each other.
Because Heaven did not allow it.
“Just stay quiet?”
Then the performance stopped, and as Cheonhwa’s voice, filled with internal energy and a certain thought, was transmitted to the guys, their movements stopped.
It cowers again as if it is scared and buries its head as if it is hibernating.
“The rest are out.”
That’s the end of it.
Unfortunately, the size of the pack was not large enough to contain all of them, but the remaining ones scattered along with Cheonhwa’s warning, so they could no longer threaten Cheonhwa.
The same goes for those inside the package.
They could have squirmed, ripped the thin cloth, or lifted their heads, but not a single one did so.
He just curls up quietly as if he has no intention of moving until Cheonhwa gives the order.
It was absurd to think that these were not just any ordinary venomous snakes, but snakes raised and trained by the Tang family, but it was happening right in front of Cheonhwa.
As if it were so obvious.
“If I had known this would happen, I should have brought more cloth.”
Cheonhwa, who had retrieved the bundle, carried it without fear.
It was a natural action, as if there was absolutely no way that a viper’s fang could get stuck in his back.
So, we headed back along the road to the second test area.
