The World of Sound - Chapter 59



Only Krnovel

After leaving the poisonous area and walking about half an angle further, a small flower garden appeared.

A beautiful flower garden full of pretty flowers and fruits welcomed him.

However, within that splendid appearance, there was a danger no less than that of a poisonous snake.

Because the pollen they emit contains hidden toxins that cause various effects.

It was much more stealthy and dangerous than a viper.

The venom itself may be stronger than that of a poisonous snake that can cause instant death, but the venom contained in pollen is more dangerous and precarious in some ways, such as causing hallucinations, optical illusions, and confusion.

This, combined with the incense coming from the kerosene lamp, produced an effect that made the subject’s mind dizzy.

“Huh?”

As soon as he entered the second test area, the poisonous area, he tickled Cheonhwa’s nose.

It’s a guy who changes not only the physical body, but also the mind and emotions.

Also, since it was not a common poison, it was impossible to block the poison with internal energy or force it into one place.

That’s why those who entered here would show the lowest version of themselves.

Either you indulge in the pleasures of fantasy and make a fool of yourself, indulge in greed and commit atrocities in the air, or you become a coward, consumed by the fears that have built up in the past.

“Eachoo!!”

But Cheonhwa was neither of those.

No, there was no time for that.

When I sneezed coolly because of the pollen tickling my nose, all the poison that had been filling the surrounding area flew away.

With just one sneeze, all the poisonous dust in the garden disappeared.

You could say I was lucky, but there were many aspects that made it difficult to simply attribute it to luck.

The moment you inhale the pollen, the toxicity has already penetrated into your body, and instead of exerting its original effect, it stimulates the internal energy of the flower, which causes the sneeze to contain the energy of yin emptiness.

It’s not that it had no effect at all, but it didn’t have a proper effect anyway.

“Ugh. What the hell is this pollen? I guess it’s better not to take it. Sniff!”

Cheonhwa, who had failed the second test so easily, knew from his experience as a herbalist that the poisonous plants that were abundant in the garden were valuable, but he gave up on collecting them because of his runny nose.

Because there was no place to sit because of the poisonous snakes, and I didn’t want to keep walking around with a runny nose.

In the end, instead of taking anything, I quickly left the poison area and entered the area where the third and final test awaited me.

“What is this?”

The third area where the Tang family’s son-in-law exam was held was a narrow alley.

Between the low walls and the walls, a narrow path stretched for quite a long time, tempting Cheonhwa.

“Are you telling me to pass through here? That’s too obvious?”

Although it was narrow, it was not difficult to walk because three or four adult men could walk shoulder to shoulder, but it was a path that was so obvious that it was hard to imagine what would happen if you just started walking blindly.

Although it was somewhat hidden, there were traces of machinery capable of firing weapons and such on the walls lining both sides.

“If you just climb over the wall… … that’s also a trap.”

Cheonhwa, who saw it through at a glance, thought about just avoiding the agency and walking over the wall, but that was also part of Dangga’s calculations.

There seemed to be nothing on top of the wall, but when you stepped on it, something like a nail would pop out, and there was also a formation that upset the balance.

“It seems like jumping over was also calculated… … .”

Then, how about breaking through by spreading the law to the extreme?

Wouldn’t it be safe if we could cross the road faster than the engine’s starting speed?

It probably wouldn’t be easy.

There’s no way I wouldn’t have thought of something like that.

There might have been some guys who shot out of sync, and there might have been some sort of weapon that flew in from the front to stop them.

Of course, it might not work on the average expert, but Tangga is no ordinary player, so he must have prepared for it.

Honestly, I wasn’t scared, but I knew without thinking too deeply that it would be quite a hassle once I got involved.

“I think I’ll just blow it all up.”

Actually, the solution is simple.

Because if we just blow up this entire organ system, that’s it.

If you release just one suitable one of the Cheon-eum-shin-gong’s herbal formulas, it is possible to wipe out not only this place but also a significant number of Tang family estates at once.

“I said I could do whatever it took, but I might change my mind… … .”

However, if he suddenly changed his words and asked me to bite him, it would be a big problem.

This is because the halls and objects of the Tang family all look expensive.

Since it was a situation where he had to ask for a large amount of money instead of coming to receive compensation, Cheonhwa had no choice but to endure the slight inconvenience.

“Still, I think this much is okay.”

What he took out was a Cheolryeong Bipa.

Cheonhwa simply changed the positions of the iron lute and the lantern he was carrying on his back and took a step down the road.

He began to play the pipa with deep resonance.

Cheonumshinkong

Jinhyeon’s chapter

Iron Ridge Jinpa

Bullfight!

The vibration of the pipa strings created a heavy trembling sound.

I walked lightly as if I was going for a walk, sending out sound waves along the road first.

Kikkik Kirik-?

And then, nothing happened.

There was no sign of anything being destroyed or collapsing, and nothing seemed to be moving, only the sound of quiet footsteps.

Because the Cheolryeongjinpa was a herbivore that destroyed the inside.

All the organs exposed to those thrilling sound waves were broken or misaligned one by one and became dysfunctional.

This could easily be seen as a simple malfunction, but that doesn’t matter. After all, isn’t all they asked for was to pass through this road safely?

Thanks to that, Cheonhwa was able to get through the road safely without being attacked, and when she arrived at the empty lot at the end of the road, surprisingly, no one was there to greet her.

That couldn’t be exactly the case.

Even though Cheonhwa is fast, he passed all the tests too quickly.

“What? Is anyone here?”

You didn’t run away because you didn’t want to give the reward, did you?

As I was wondering and pondering such strange questions, I heard the voices of the owner of the house and the people around him chatting away in the distance.

“But wouldn’t one hour be a bit too short? If he really possessed the ultimate martial arts, then I wouldn’t know, but for a kid with the level of the later index to do that… … Huh?!”

“Now, you. Why are you here?”

Then, I discovered Cheonhwa’s appearance too late and hurriedly arrived at the empty lot.

It seemed as if he didn’t know why Cheonhwa, who should clearly be taking a test inside, was here.

Could it be that the formation and the organs have not been activated?

No, that would have been even more dangerous.

If it weren’t for the test of bringing in a son-in-law, the poisonous snakes swarming inside would have bitten the opponent even more ferociously.

Since they are usually used as a means of defending the Tang gate, they are trained to become more aggressive when unleashed and kill and eliminate anyone who approaches.

“Huh? You told me to come this way? Did I take the wrong path? It was so easy!”

At those words, even Cheonhwa tilted her head as if something was strange.

They said it was a test, but it was really easy.

So he wondered if he had taken the wrong route, but the party’s unmanned personnel soon arrived and confirmed that he had not.

“Go, my lord! We’re in trouble. The evil dragon has disappeared… … ?!”

Only those with permission could pass through the passage, but it was designed so that the Tang family’s unmanned personnel could spy on it at any time to monitor progress or intervene in case of any danger.

However, Cheonhwa passed through them all before they could even get a chance to settle down.

They checked it out later and realized that something was wrong, so they ran to Gaju and ran into Cheonhwa.

“Really, you got through this quickly?”

The eyes of the Tang family leader who heard the news wavered greatly.

Although it wasn’t a test to kill, so it wasn’t that difficult, I never thought I would pass it this quickly.

There was no such precedent.

That’s why his expression was clearly flustered, and only Dang Mimi smiled happily and praised Cheonhwa.

“Well, it wasn’t anything special. To be honest, I was a little disappointed.”

“… … Easy? Disappointing?”

In response, Cheonhwa expressed her sincere feelings.

If the test, which was supposed to be the treasure of the Tang family, was like this, it was truly disappointing.

It wasn’t out of modesty or anything, but it was just a simple walk that didn’t seem like anything was done, so I let out a slightly dissatisfied remark, and the expression on Danggaju’s face hardened at those words.

Even though he didn’t show the true power of the Tang family, his personality was so bad that he couldn’t stand hearing such things.

Since the Tang family members are basically people with great pride in their family, they are pathologically reluctant to have even the most insignificant part of their lives pointed out, but to him, the head of the Tang family, those words sound like an insult.

“Is there anything more proper? The master said that Tangga’s hand skills were quite good, but I didn’t see any of them there.”

But Cheonhwa didn’t stop there.

He expressed great disappointment and made remarks that seemed to provoke the entire party.

In fact, even that was a slightly purified expression.

What the master said was not something worth using, but something worth overlooking.

So, although Cheonhwa was secretly admiring her own manners, it was natural that the other person did not feel that way.

“Is it any good? Can you take responsibility for that?”

“father!”

Thanks to that, Dang Sang-ak’s eyes slightly turned.

Dangmimi, who figured it out first, desperately tried to stop him by hanging on to his arm, but stopping appropriately is only possible when the other person accepts it.

“I never say things I can’t take responsibility for!”

Cheonhwa, who was not the type to make up stories just to save face for others, nodded as if it was natural and accepted the words, while Dangsang-ak’s expression became vicious.

It was a situation where he had decided to allow the two to date, even if it was not an engagement, so that she could become his daughter’s spouse, but even so, this was an unbearable remark.

“Okay. If you want, I’ll show you the true power of the Tang family. I’ll remind you of it over and over again. That’s only if you can endure it!”

“Father, please… … !”

“Listen. Prepare the poisonous fire!”

In the end, Dang Sang-ak, who was furious to the point of hair loss, gave a harsh order despite his daughter’s protests.

It was decided to have them face the Dokhwaman Gyeopjin, which was created by gathering the elite of the Tang family.

Dangmimi was so frightened that she almost cried as she clung to him, but once the strict head of the household gave his order, it was difficult to take it back.

The other Tang family members were also very angry at Cheonhwa’s words, so they looked back at Tang Mimi and decided to just make one last move, and gathered their people and began preparing to follow the family leader’s orders.

“Uh… … Wait a minute?”

At that moment, Cheonhwa, who had been watching quietly, spoke to Dangsangak again with a troubled expression.

“But why? Could it be that you have lost confidence already?”

Are they afraid of the energy of the formation they have gathered to unfold, or of the formation they are already forming?

Dang Sang-ak responded with a snort as if he had known that would happen, but what he got in return was words that completely turned him upside down.

“No. That’s not it. I don’t know what this is, but I have a favor to ask. What was it called? Oh! Mandokam Hwanjin? If possible, I’d like to try that. If this is better, let’s just go with this.”

“… … What?!”

I don’t know what Dokhwaman-geopjin is, but if it’s not better than the Mandokam-hwanjin that I know, then I want you to spread it in that direction.

Those words were extremely arrogant, but they were also taboo in the Tang family.

“Mandokam Hwanjin? Ga Ga, our family doesn’t have such a method… … .”

“Where did you hear that name?”

It was also a method that was handled so secretly that even his direct descendant, Dang Mimi, had not heard of it yet.

“To the master. Is that a non-existent name? Then don’t worry about it. Anyway, how much of this old man is real… …”

At that cold reaction, Cheonhwa clicked her tongue and said, “Then that’s true.”

Anyway, it is hard to know how much of the master’s boasts are true, he grumbled, and threw the lantern and the pack of poisonous snakes he had been carrying to one side. Dang Sang-ak, who had been looking at the scene with confused eyes, seemed determined and instead of asking further questions, gave instructions to the others.

“Prepare for the Mandokam Hwanjin.”

“My lord!”

It was the best sword in the Tang family that was almost lost a long time ago, but was barely restored and further developed, and was prepared to harm the one and only absolute powerhouse.

At those words, some people looked like they didn’t know, and some who knew the name looked astonished, but Dang Sang-ak, who had already made up his mind, was unwavering.

“father?”

“You are not to come forward any further. This is the order of the head of the household. Since I have volunteered for this, I have no choice but to show you what I mean. If, even if it is unlikely, you can hold out for even a moment, I will forgive your rudeness and grant you whatever you wish.”

While glaring at Cheonhwa as if he would tear him to pieces at any moment, he opened a way for him to live.

If you can endure the Mandokamhwanjin for more than a day, I will forgive your rudeness and grant you whatever you want.

“But if not, you will have to be prepared to give up your life. And you will have to tell me everything you know in detail. Whether you want to or not.”

But his words contained the bone of contention that there was no such thing as the assumption that Cheonhwa could last more than a moment.

It was a statement that seemed to foreshadow torture, as Cheonhwa would not tell him obediently, and that he would use any means necessary to find out.

Perhaps it was because the Tang family’s secret technique had already been destroyed that he felt even more uncomfortable, but naturally, Cheonhwa was not the type to be frightened by such words.

“Okay. But, I don’t have to just hold on, right?”

“Of course. Just do whatever you can.”

Naturally, the bet was accepted, and in an ominous atmosphere, Mandokamhwanjin was soon prepared.

It may not be perfect for hastily preparing, but it is filled with enough power to be able to exert about 80% of the full power.

Because this was the center of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the order to gather people was issued, almost all of the best members of the party were mobilized, and that alone gave off a terrifying aura.

‘Then where should we go to play?’

However, Cheonhwa still moved lightly as if she had the initiative.

Even though Dang Mimi, who was at the peak of her power, was breathless and suffocated at the sight of her father’s terrifying appearance that she had never seen before, she walked into the middle of the empty lot where the ultimate battle called Mandok Am Hwan Jin was to unfold without a care in the world.

This Mandokamhwanjin was one of the reasons why he came to Dangga.

He smiled expectantly, recalling his master’s words that by breaking this, he would be able to prove his own yin.

“Okay, shall we begin?”

He lightly released his hand and provoked the party members who were full of poison.
