The World of Sound - Chapter 77



Only Krnovel

“shit.”

A fire broke out with a loud thunderclap.

It appeared quite deeply in Shaolin as well.

Cheonhwa didn’t know exactly, but it was a place called Josajeon, where the relics and relics of the great monks of the past were collected.

Kugu palace!

Then came the sound of rubble collapsing.

It was a sound that arose from a forest of stone pagodas, also called Taprim, which were like the tombs of great monks from all over the world.

You could tell something big was going on just by the sound.

That’s why lights were already starting to turn on in various places in Shaolin, and some quick-footed monks were heading there, unfolding their divine techniques.

Everyone else seemed to have no idea what was going on, but Cheonhwa had a rough idea.

I don’t know about anything else, but the initial thunder was caused by the power of the brain spirit.

The thunder spirit, known as the cursed spirit that summons thunderstorms, is also known to be able to strike down lightning in the clear sky, but it also has the skill to release enough thunder energy accumulated within its body.

As Wijisegaju once showed, a guy who had consumed enough of Cheonhwa’s brain energy could even shoot out lightning himself.

That was also the reason why Cheonhwa’s steps became quicker after he read the brain spirit’s energy and confirmed that the power came from the brain spirit.

I hurried to where the noise and flames were coming from, and I was able to get there faster than anyone else.

“Did you run away?”

However, at that time, there was already no one there.

Before the investigation, flames were rising and the towers were covered with traces of someone’s tension and sword strikes collapsing, but neither the black masked men nor the brain spirits were to be found.

“You didn’t get caught, did you?”

“What’s going on!”

That was why Cheonhwa’s face was filled with worry even though the Shaolin monks and the masters staying at the guest house arrived one after another.

It was natural for them to run away since there was an unexpected commotion, but what bothered me was that even their brains had disappeared.

Judging from the traces, it didn’t seem like he was injured or killed, but he disappeared without a trace.

Maybe he was still being chased, so I wanted to quickly follow his trail and chase after him, but I couldn’t do that because of the monks surrounding him who arrived first.

“Evil Dragon Sohyeop?”

“Is this what the Lord said?!”

It is none other than Jo Sa Jeon and Tap Rim.

Even though they were Shaolin, they couldn’t help but show an excited reaction.

They surrounded him as if they thought he was trying to escape, and they questioned him as if they were interrogating him.

“No. I’m following the trail of a monster, so step aside for a moment… … .”

“That’s not right. I need you to cooperate with the investigation for a moment.”

“There are definitely other traces, but don’t worry, we’ll be chasing them.”

Even if I explain it, it’s still nonsense.

It’s natural from their perspective, but it’s incredibly frustrating for Cheonhwa.

So I thought about trying to break through it with force, but I gave up.

It may not be impossible, but it would obviously be quite a hassle.

Not only would he be suspected of being the culprit, but it was also natural that all the masters gathered here would be chasing him, and tomorrow’s martial arts competition would be like that.

‘There’s nothing I can do. I can only hope I avoided it.’

So he took a deep breath and stepped back, and the monks surrounding him moved to take him somewhere for investigation.

There was bloodletting during the process, but I followed them obediently because I thought that even in the worst case scenario, I would be able to release the bloodletting myself or that old man from Janggyeonggak would prove my innocence.

There was a bit of a commotion trying to put out the fire before the investigation, but the fire was quickly extinguished when Bukgungyeon arrived late.

Because all the flames disappeared just by pulling out the ice spirit and swinging it lightly.

Afterwards, Cheonhwa was taken to a secret place and questioned several times, but of course, as she was not involved, she was soon released.

There were quite a few traces of martial arts in the investigation room and the tower forest, and none of them matched Cheonhwa, so all that was needed was proof of how they were able to arrive so quickly.

It’s simple.

He didn’t even have to tell the story of how he was wandering around the neighborhood, he just had to demonstrate his new technique once.

The realm of Cheonhwa was a realm, but the divine method was also one that could be considered the best in the martial arts world, so it didn’t need much explanation.

I was released with a request to cooperate if I had any further questions in the future, and by that time, about half an hour had already passed since the incident occurred.

“It’s too late to go to Black Spot. And it’s impossible to track them down… … .”

I thought I should find the black spot even now, but it was impossible.

Since the black spot is a place where so many different items are traded, there are many items that require a long-term examination to see their true value, but it is also a place that is only open for a very short period of time.

Even if I went down now, most of the main products would have been sold out and I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to enter.

More than anything, I was worried about the missing brain spirit.

However, there was no news from the pursuit force organized by Shaolin.

Because the martial arts of the villains who set the fire before the investigation were so outstanding, the traces continued for a while and then were cut off, and their whereabouts became unknown.

We tried to identify them later by conducting a personnel check, but that was also useless.

This is because the number of people was the same, and it was unclear whether they were the ones who had been staying at the guest house, or whether they had taken off their masks and pretended not to know anyone and returned to their seats. In addition, Shaolin also knew that the black spot had opened.

Because of this, quite a few people left Shaolin’s mountain gate, and they were all people with martial arts skills as strong as those of beasts.

Moreover, since everyone in the sunspot was made to wear identical masks so that no one could identify themselves, it was difficult to prove who was in the sunspot at a given time.

It was to the point where I thought they might have been targeting that moment when many experts would be leaving due to the black spots.

“I don’t know who they are, but if they hurt anything on mine, you’ll have to be prepared.”

In the end, the incident in which Shaolin was attacked became a mystery.

Even in Shaolin, it was either because they considered it shameful, or because they wanted to conduct a quiet investigation separately, so no news was heard about Janggyeonggak. It seemed like they were just trying to cover up the incident by deploying additional monks to guard and search the Jikgaekdang and various parts of Shaolin.

Meanwhile, Cheonhwa was also caught in the trap and gnashed her teeth.

Up until now, I had maintained an attitude of “whatever it was” because it had nothing to do with me, but if something happened to the Brain Spirit Book, I could no longer just stand by and watch.

Cheonhwa did not have the tolerance to leave alone anyone who dared to touch what was his.

“Huh? You?”

At that moment, a familiar atmosphere and chirping were detected by Cheonhwa.

Even though the Shaolin monks were guarding the outside, a guy sneaked in stealthily like a water snake and came to Cheonhwa’s room.

“Kkkikkit!”

Then he jumped up like he was flying and dove into my arms.

As if he was complaining that it was hard.

“What is this?”

Cheonhwa hugged and patted the guy, and separately confirmed the strange thing the guy had brought with him.

It’s a piece of paper.

However, what it contained was not text, but a picture.

“Is it a Buddha statue?”

It looked like a rubbing of something that looked like a Buddha statue.

To be exact, it looks like a rubbing of a part of a Buddha statue.

Where on earth did the brain spirit get this from?

Also, why did Shaolin preserve only a part of the Buddha statue as a rubbing, rather than the entire statue?

The fact that the brain spirit collided with the guys at the investigation site and the top forest made it more suspicious that it was likely the items stored there.

Are there multiple copies of this for each section?

Is there some secret in here?

“I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere… … .”

If that were all, I would have dismissed it as nothing serious.

In fact, whatever was hidden inside was none of his business.

Even if it points to a place where peerless martial arts are hidden, it is the same.

If you have the Cheon-eum Shingong, there is no need to learn the weaker one.

It’s the same even if it contains a similar level of martial arts.

Now, there was no need to learn anything else, and if he could learn the Cheon-eum Shingong up to its peak, he could easily reach a great and transcendent realm like a god, so it was worth referencing, but there was no reason to covet it.

However, a strange feeling made Cheonhwa worry.

The thought that I have seen it somewhere before lingers in my mind.

“I don’t remember.”

But seeing as it didn’t come to mind right away, it might not have been such an important memory.

However, the level of intuition of that expert was almost like reading the weather.

Even though he would have simply disposed of it by throwing it to one side or burning it to destroy the evidence, he couldn’t let it go easily, which gave him the feeling that this memory was quite important.

“Hmm… … Should I just keep it for now?”

So Cheonhwa stared at it for a long time, but in the end, unable to think of it or dispose of it, he held it in his arms.

Hoping this would be something worth money.

“It would be better if it were something like grocery shopping.”

Yes, the night was deep.

Cheonhwa asked if Noeryeong was injured and what else had happened.

Fortunately, there was no part that was damaged, so I was relieved, but just in case, I asked them not to use the brain machine again here and went to sleep for the time being.

In fact, there was nothing to do since everyone staying at the guest house was basically in a state of retirement.

However, Cheonhwa, who prided herself on being able to get a good night’s sleep anytime, anywhere, was finally able to fall asleep a long time later that night.

It was only when dawn broke that I woke up from a half-asleep and faced an old dream.

“Ugh.”

It wasn’t long after Cheonhwa fell into a light sleep that she woke up.

He raised his head and body with a short groan that he rarely let out, and water droplets were dripping down his head and body.

His back and face were wet with something that could be sweat or tears, and Cheonhwa unconsciously raised her arm to wipe it away, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

“……sweat?”

Are you sweating while you sleep?

It was something I had never experienced before since I reached that level.

Such changes, especially those that affected the physical body, were a very bad sign for such skilled practitioners.

So I frowned and quickly looked around the interior.

“No problem. Then it’s a mental issue… … .”

But there was no problem.

Rather, his physical condition was in top condition as usual.

If that’s the case, then it’s not a matter of the body or internal energy, but that also doesn’t make sense.

Although the level of skill of the North Master I met last night was surprising, it wasn’t enough to scare me.

Even if it was difficult at the moment, I was confident that if I could acquire at least all the instruments, I would be able to take a chance, and that I would definitely win if I could just reach the 11th level of Cheon-eum Shingong.

So I didn’t think he could have put so much pressure and stress on his mind.

“Could this be it?”

then.

What else could have influenced it?

Cheonhwa suddenly remembered the rubbing he had kept in his bosom.

Could it be the influence of that painting?

I took it out again and looked at it, but it only seemed familiar and nothing else came to mind or felt.

“Ugh. I don’t know.”

In the end, Cheonhwa left the place without finding the cause.

Even if it was really something that had affected him, one thing was clear.

As you become stronger, you will be able to break anything that comes your way.

“Let’s get our luck back first and then think about it.”

And today, I was going to get my hands on Yuncheol.

It may not be possible to complete what you want right away with just that, but since it is the most essential material, if you spend a little more time and money, it won’t take too long to make.

Just completing it solves a lot of problems.

Since each instrument was specialized in performing the Cheon-eum Shingong in a different way, each had its own special strengths.

So Cheonhwa left the place with light steps.

We are ready for the final match of the Moorim Tournament, which will light up the last day of the Moorim Tournament.
