Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 328
Shadow (3)
Dreams and reality. A long time of chasing hope, crossing the boundary between fantasy and darkness.
Seo Wan-pyeong’s prey passed through the night-living entertainment district of Gwangju, circled around the city, and soon left Gwangju and headed towards the forest path.
‘Hehehehe.’
Feeling grateful for the prey’s advances towards the shady place on its own two feet, Seo Wan-pyeong suddenly increased his speed.
Pot!
“!?”
Only then did the man in black realize Seo Wan-pyeong’s presence and quickly turned around.
“when!?”
Only then did the eyes of the guy and Seo Wan-pyeong meet. The guy’s eyes, which were completely covered by the black robe, were filled with confusion.
Seo Wan-pyeong looked into those eyes and quickly drew his sword and swung it.
Seo Wan-pyeong’s sharp and fast Muyeongsipsa-su was even more powerful on a late night with little moonlight.
The man in black, who had lost the initiative from the start, was quickly put on the defensive.
“Kuuuuuuu. It’s your fault!!”
visor!
“Do you know what kind of humiliation I suffered because of you!”
visor!
The reason he hasn’t died yet is simply because Seo Wan-pyeong tried to subdue him rather than kill him.
The man in black spoke with a look of fear in his eyes as Seo Wan-pyeong continued to mutter to himself with bloodshot eyes.
“How dare someone who knows me swing a sword at me!”
“How would I know who you are!”
“!?”
While the man in black was bewildered by the madman’s incoherent nonsense.
puck!
Seo Wan-pyeong’s sword sheath, which he had swung with his left hand, struck the black-clad man’s bloodline.
“Ugh… .”
Seo Wan-pyeong stole everyone’s attention with a series of strikes using his sword, then swung his scabbard in the amazing art of the Muyeong Sipsa Soo to make use of the surprise attack.
Seo Wan-pyeong, who had succeeded in subduing the man in black, continued to move his fingers just in case.
I quickly touched the blood vessels and took off the mask covering the bastard’s face.
The man in black was a middle-aged man with a beard that looked as thick as a rat’s paw.
Not interested in the man’s face, Seo Wan-pyeong opened his mouth with his hand and inserted his finger.
As expected, there was a poison in his teeth.
Seo Wan-pyeong, who had taken out the poison in an instant, searched all over his body to check if there was any poison or secret weapon hidden inside his clothes.
Soon after, I was able to realize a very important fact.
“You. You’re my classmate.”
He lacked something that a man should naturally have.
* * *
Seo Wan-pyeong, who had taken care of that old school friend and returned to the pavilion that Amyeonggak was using as a sort of secret room, continued the interrogation.
Seo Wan-pyeong wanted to lie down immediately due to lack of sleep and fatigue that had built up over a month, but he gritted his teeth and held on.
Maybe it was because of the remaining fatigue. My anxiety didn’t go away.
While he was sleeping, he left it to the other unmanned people of the dark pavilion, and he was worried that something might go wrong.
The identity of the man in black further fanned that sense of anxiety.
Classmate.
They were dirty hunting dogs raised by the Emperor of Han, and eunuchs who had cut out what a man should be like.
Of course, I couldn’t be sure that he was my classmate just because he wasn’t there. It was the same for eunuchs who weren’t my classmates.
However, there was no reason for a eunuch who was not a classmate to learn martial arts to this extent.
In addition to that.
“You rascal! Do you know who I am and are persecuting me now? Don’t you fear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor?”
Just looking at that bird, who shouted as if he were carrying the emperor on his back, there was no room for doubt.
Kwajik!
Of course, Seo Wan-pyeong was not afraid because his opponent was the emperor’s dog.
What he feared most was disappointing his master and his disciples. Even death was not an object of fear for him.
After peeling the skin little by little, they sprinkled salt on it, inserted nails between the fingernails and toenails, and performed the technique of dividing the muscles and bones by feeling the acupuncture points.
Thanks to repeated brutal torture, the old school friend eventually became docile.
However, not all problems were solved just because the guy became quiet.
“I, really. I, I was just following the orders of the eunuch.”
The captured eunuch claimed that he was merely a porter carrying letters.
Even when I opened the letter he brought, it was full of trivial things he wrote about.
It was definitely a secret letter written in code.
“How do I decrypt the password?”
“No, I don’t know.”
We tried to further torture the guy who answered that he didn’t know anything, but nothing came out.
“Ugh… .”
For a moment, he looked down at the eunuch with his eyes completely open and blood flowing from his mouth.
“That’s enough.”
The dark shadow that had appeared at some unknown time spoke while touching Seo Wan-pyeong’s shoulder, whose hand was covered in blood.
Whoosh.
When Seo Wan-pyeong finally felt the presence of the dark shadow master and turned his head, the dark shadow master almost flinched without realizing it.
‘Hey, look at my eyes.’
Those eyes, which were sparkling with madness, were bloodshot red from excessive fatigue, giving off an even more terrifying aura.
The red, maddening eyes and the dark shadows under them contrasted with each other, and the pale, tired skin contrasted with them again, giving off an atmosphere that made it clear that he was crazy.
“Ahem. No matter how I look at it, it seems like the author doesn’t know anything more, so this is enough.”
“It’s not over yet, my lord. I don’t know what the author is going to do, but at least he’s told me where to go next?”
Since the eunuch was a porter, he at least knew where to deliver the letter next.
“That’s it. I and the rest of the members will go there. You go to the headquarters.”
“Are you talking about the headquarters?”
“That’s right. We haven’t obtained the key information yet, but at least we’ve discovered that the ‘Palace’ is involved in this matter. So we need to inform the lord of this fact.”
That was true, but in reality it was just an excuse.
‘If it were you, my lord, you would know the condition of the three princes in no time.’
After sending Seo Wan-pyeong back to Cheon-ma, to force him to rest.
“this!”
The shadowy gaze suddenly looked at the eunuch who was being interrogated with a startled expression and shouted.
Seo Wan-pyeong, who was embarrassed by this, quickly turned his head to look, but the eunuch was still looking with his eyes wide open and blood flowing out of his mouth.
“???”
Seo Wan-pyeong looked puzzled for a moment.
Bam.
With a feeling as if something was touching his body, Seo Wan-pyeong collapsed.
It was a dark shadow that deliberately drew attention and then suddenly pointed out Seo Wan-pyeong’s blood transfusion.
* * *
When Seo Wan-pyeong woke up, three whole days had passed.
His body was placed in a carriage. As a consideration for him, the inside of the rather large carriage was covered with several layers of blankets, and Seo Wan-pyeong was sleeping soundly on top of the blankets.
Seo Wan-pyeong, who realized that he had already left Gwangju a long time ago, accepted the reality and headed to the headquarters with the Amyeonggak warriors.
Because there was a huge distance between Guangzhou in Guangdong Province and the headquarters in Xinjiang, Seo Wanping was able to return to the headquarters in almost a month.
“Did you just say we’re classmates?”
At Seo Wan-pyeong’s report, Cheon-ma frowned in an unusual manner and asked back.
“Yes, Master.”
“Ugh… .”
As if in deep thought, Cheonma stroked his beard for a moment, keeping his mouth shut.
The fact that his classmates had moved meant that this incident was ultimately connected to the palace.
‘Dengbi. I thought that guy was a piece of paper sent from the palace…’
As someone who had been loyal to the Cheonmasin Church for over fifty years, he could not even imagine that it would be Sejak.
‘Is this why they were so quiet?’
Hyukryeon Ilhwi. Since the time when he had achieved great success in the Heavenly Demon Sect and was recognized as a Heavenly Demon rather than a religious leader, the imperial army no longer had their eyes on Xingang.
Naturally, Cheonma thought that the imperial family had withdrawn to avoid unnecessary loss of troops.
Even Xinjiang was not a place worth going to, as most of the land was barren land and it was difficult to get there by crossing the huge mountain called Tianma.
But now that I look at it, it turns out that instead of directly attacking the Shingang sect, they simply chose to subdue the Cheonma Sect from within.
‘Because of those guys’ tricks, my disciples lost their lives. This old man lived without knowing that. What is a heavenly horse, and what is a god?’
Cheonma, who had been lost in deep regret for a moment, saw the figure of his disciple who was still alive and well.
The third disciple, with bloodshot eyes, looking up at himself.
“Wanpyeong-ah.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I am so glad you came back safely. You must have had a hard time carrying out your difficult mission.”
Seo Wan-pyeong’s eyes opened wide and became slightly wet at the sincere greeting from Cheonma, which he had hardly ever heard in his entire life.
“I am still not good enough to be called the Master’s disciple.”
Seo Wan-pyeong felt all his fatigue disappear at that one word of praise.
After being forced to sleep soundly by the Dark Shadow, Seo Wanpyeong ran towards the headquarters as if his feet were on fire.
It was thanks to that that we were able to reach the headquarters in just over a month.
Considering the distance from Gwangju to the headquarters, it was impossible to complete it in just one month.
Knowing that Seo Wan-pyeong would act like this, Amyeonggakju forced him to sleep so that he could rest for just a few days.
And just as the Shadow Lord had hoped, Cheonma was able to immediately see Seo Wanpyeong’s condition.
“You must be very tired both physically and mentally from this mission, so stay at the headquarters for a few days and visit the magician every day to receive treatment.”
“Master, my disciple is not injured. He can still work for you and the new religion.”
“Oh, my. It is also unfilial to worry your parents. Are you going to be unfilial to this teacher?”
“That is not the case, Master.”
Seo Wan-pyeong, who was startled, bowed to Cheonma and left Cheonmajeon to meet Ma-ui.
Immediately after Seo Wan-pyeong left, Cheon-ma told Eunwi-gak-ju.
“Tell the devil to take care of Wanpyeong as the ‘Jeongsimwonju.’ The devil’s heart is up to his chin.”
“Your name!”
After Seo Wan-pyeong and Eunwi-gak-ju left Cheonma-jeon.
Cheonma stroked his beard again and fell into deep thought.
Why is that?
Now that I was faced with an urgent matter, the first thing that came to mind was my youngest disciple.
A letter from the youngest son, who had left for the post of chief on a mission he had been given, which arrived about a month ago.
Even, while using the Heavenly Horse himself or someone he can use as a messenger.
A faint smile appeared on Cheonma’s lips as he thought about the things his youngest brother was doing.
“Heh heh heh.”
It was a moment when the shadow disappeared from his face, which had been full of regret.
* * *
Two months ago. The morning after cleaning up the Podalap Palace.
After greeting the Shibis who seemed to have eaten something wrong, Ilmok was talking to Hyukryun Cheon Gang.
“Now that the Potala Palace has disappeared, how about you return to the headquarters?”
Although it was a blatant order to swear at the guests, Hyukryuncheon Gang did not seem to care much.
“What do you plan to do? Are you planning to stay here?”
“The Master’s order was to spread the Maitreya teachings in Seojang, so I plan to stay a little longer. Also, aren’t there any remnants of the Podalrap Palace that will remain?”
There must be some esoteric monks left in the palace who had emptied it to bring back women.
When Hyukryun Cheongang nodded, convinced by Ilmok’s words, Ilmok took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to him.
“If you go to the headquarters, please give this letter to the master.”
“I’ll leave it to the Sega’s unmanned forces.”
At Hyukryuncheon Kang’s answer, Ilmok shook his head.
“I hope only the head of the household can return to the headquarters.”
“…What are you talking about now?”
“There are over a hundred women left here. We are already short on people, and if even the Hyukryun family’s military men return, how will we protect these women and govern the West?”
“Huh… So, are you telling me to go back and get that letter by myself?”
“Yes.”
Hyukryeon Cheon-gang laughed in vain at the words of the youngest prince who was trying to use him, the head of the five major families of the Cheonmasingyo sect, as a messenger.
