“What? A black spot on the back of the executioner?” Do Pyeong-su, who glanced at Jang Man-dok, asked as if to reaffirm.
“In the shape of a dragon.”
The reason everyone’s faces hardened was because the change that occurred to Geom Woo-bin could be the work of a harbinger. Iron-Blood Ball was accompanied by excruciating pain whenever it jumped one level.
However, there were times when one could go beyond the steps you should have taken. It was not intentional, it was simply a phenomenon that occurred according to the constitution.
“Isn’t there anyone among us who suffered from Seungryong’s pain?”
Seo Seok-san answered Do Pyeong-soo’s question. “I never had a chance to go through it.”
Jang Man-dok, who now received everyone’s attention, shook his head. “Do you remember what Master said when you first passed on the iron blood ball? If Seungryongtong visits, it should be closed for at least 5 years, or at least 10 years. If you come into contact with the turbid energy of the world, you may eventually fall into a stalemate.”
Jeon Yeong-hong then continued to explain to Seo Seok-san, “I like the basement. There is space left in the backyard, so let’s make it soon. If we hurry, we could have a closed room in three days.”
“If the death penalty overcomes Seungryongtong, you will reach the Eight Stars. It’s twice as fast as Man-dok.”
“It’s fast enough, even if you don’t have to go through that kind of pain.”
“Where does Seungryongtong get the death penalty? It comes naturally when you practice.”
“Come on, let’s get ready. Did the death penalty just go to deliver alcohol?”
“Are you saying that you want to prioritize Geom Woo-bin over this master and monk?”
So Gi-cheon’s shoulders shrugged at Noh Dae-sul’s cold voice. However, So Ki-cheon’s guts weren’t so small that he couldn’t find it in him to say what he had to say.
“There is something my father said when he made me a disciple. Before you were a beggar, you were an open door, and before you were an open door, you were a person. He said that the most important thing to protect as a human being is faithfulness. Because of this, I want to be a person.”
“So you want to keep your trust with Geom Woo-bin?”
“Woo-bin hyung is by no means a bad person.”
“Didn’t bad people write bad people on their foreheads?”
“It’s not like that, but Woo-bin-hyung, who I’ve been through so far, is a good person.”
“If Geom Woo-bin is a good person, does this mean that his master is a bad person?”
“Is Woo-bin-hyung the master’s enemy?”
“I don’t know that yet. To know that, I ordered you to monitor Geom Woo-bin.”
“So then, my mission is complete. Hehe!”
“The judgment will be made by the master, not you. And is your trust only with Geom Woo-bin? What kind of fidelity do you have to keep to your inmates and masters?”
And so, Gi-cheon, who hesitated, answered. “I think I kept my faith by not lying to my master.”
“Your trust is to follow this master’s orders. If you do not follow my orders, you are not worthy of my disciple!”
The old man’s voice was so cold that it looked like he was covered in ice water. It was like a chimney, wanting to lie flat and beg forgiveness at any moment, but So Gi-cheon steadfastly stretched his back.
“If the price of renunciation is to remain a disciple of Master, then I… … Jeon…” So Gi-cheon started, as if vomiting the dumplings stuck in his throat.
“I will not become Master’s disciple!” So Gi-Cheon squeezed his eyes shut. Looking at the cold old-fashioned expression on his face, he just might break his head with one fist.
Noh Dae-sul didn’t respond for a long time, as if he was thinking about how to kill So Gi-cheon.
Tuk!
He then came to the sound of something falling in front of his kneeling knee. It was a thin book with no title written on it.
“Don’t forget to burn it after you’ve memorized it.”
“Master, this is…?”
“If you learn all of them, you will be able to achieve the level of a six-year-old. How long you learn it depends on your qualities. You know the Manbak Bookstore in Wangsa-ro?”
“Yes.”
“If you go there, I will give you some small pills. It helps to improve internal organs, so even if you use it, be sure to eat it.”
“I… Aren’t you excommunicating?”
“I completed my mission, but what about excommunication? And when a guy like you is excommunicated, only chaff is left in the opening. hey! Even now, it’s still full of chaff.”
Noh Dae-sul leaned back on the hut and murmured, ‘The chaff should be thinned out quickly.’
And so, So Gi-cheon quickly pursued Noh Dae-sul. “Master!”
“Why?”
“Then what should I do with Woo-bin hyung?”
“Whoever you are dating, should this master be involved? Still, don’t do it in the south. If there are rumors of that, there are many difficulties in Dongnyang.”
He had been granted permission to visit Geom Woo-bin without any conflicting self-interest.
“Master! thank you!”
Noh Dae-sul, who left a comment to himself, saying, ‘It’s strange that their disciple can’t be good,’ disappeared.
So Gi-cheon rushed towards the city center, having failed to have seen Woo-bin in a while. He had remembered the date that Geom Woo-bin would deliver the alcohol, and she kept it in mind. So Gi-cheon, who ran to Wolhagi-ru so fast that he almost set his feet on fire, greeted the general and could see Geom Woo-bin turning around.
“Hey!”
So Gi-cheon ran towards Geom Woo-bin. A smile appeared on Geom Woo-bin’s lips as he saw So Gi-cheon.
“Would you like a coin?”
“Yes!”
As soon as Geom Woo-bin returned, the four puppies ran like crazy from somewhere, waving her tail and spinning around her. She was a sign of intimacy and obedience that had never been seen by the Hangzhou Incident before.
The beast, which was also a mass of instinct, knew who was the captain in this manor.
“Hehe! Sir, are you tired of going for delivery? Take a sip of this honey. It is the honey that only the queen bee eats.”
At this, Geom Woo-bin smiled and received the hospitality offered by the old Seobang. “Thank you, Sajil.”
“Oh! Saba! You’re back! Are you tired?” Sehwa rushed over and rubbed Geom Woo-bin’s shoulder. “It’s okay. What do you always do? Are the priests still in the backyard?”
“Yes. Even if the workers tell you to use it, you are sweating profusely saying you have to make it with your own hands.”
“Then I’ll have to give you a hand.”
When Geom Woo-bin disappeared, the others clicked their tongues.
“I try, I try. What kind of wealth and glory are you going to enjoy by being so flattering?”
“Aren’t you even offended by a ten-year-old child?”
The old one groaned. “Those who are not as good as these beasts! If it wasn’t for you, we’d already be dead! Have you forgotten why the masters saved us?”
“Right. And how kind and broad-minded Sabaek-nim is. He respects him, but what does his age have to do with it?”
“Hey, is that so? Respect many people and live well in this disgusting place for a thousand years and ten thousand years, hanging upside down.”
Oh Tong-soo was now taunting the old Seobang that was hanging from the eaves. “It was Sabaek who saved me like that. No matter how bad I am, how can I not respect my life twice? These ungrateful bastards. After all, this is not how we collect black-headed beasts.”
While they were fighting, Geom Woo-bin went to the backyard and finished the construction of the closed room.
“When is Seungryongtong coming?”
“Well… Because we haven’t experienced it. In fact, it may or may not come. Because I only heard about it from the master.”
Seo Seok-san’s answer made Geom Woo-bin nervous, almost as if he was going to see the past without studying for the exam.
However, the anxiety didn’t last long. On the fifth day after the closing room was completed, Geom Woo-bin suffered a tremendous pain that could not be compared to before, and the barrel in which he was housed was shattered into pieces.
He was fully prepared, so the Blood Lion’s response was quick. He closed the closed room, then brought a new barrel and put Geom Woo-bin in it.
Looking at Geom Woo-bin, who had lost his mind, Jeon Yeong-hong said with a sad expression, “A cruel year has begun for the death penalty.”
“It could take ten years.”
As Geom Woo-bin entered the closure, there were some changes in the Hangzhou Incident. They took turns delivering alcohol that Geom Woo-bin used to do.
It was a little awkward at first, but after two years or so, but they eventually got used to it.
Go Seobang, carrying a bag of alcohol, asked Seo Seok-san, who was leaving Daecheong. “Sir, my lord. Do you need anything to deliver alcohol?”
“The black hair weed is all gone.”
“Yes? Did you already run out of the 50 you bought last time?”
“It disappears strangely quickly.”
“It’s the owner’s hair that disappears strangely quickly…”
“What?”
“That’s because it doesn’t work. You’ve been taking it for six months now…”
“Hey! If you buy it, I’ll buy it. What a lot of talk!”
“It is because it is heavy. If there is an effect, it will be worth the hard work, but what is this?”
“But that guy…!”
When Seo Seok-san pretended to be chasing, Go Seobang left the words ‘I’ll go!’ and disappeared.
Jeon Yeong-hong, who was watching the figure, clicked his tongue. “Twitch! Oh boy, stop tormenting me. Then what if you run away?”
“If you run away, you’ll have to break the leg sticks.”
“You don’t mean to kill?”
“It’ll hurt to death.”
The footsteps of Go Seobang were light. “Are the ancients going to deliver today?”
“Come and stop by! The pickled cucumbers are delicious, so I’ll wrap them up!”
“Are you going to buy fish today? I’ll take it out as a fresh guy!”
In the shops lined up on the left and right, he always pretended to know one other, and the old western rooms also responded to me one by one. He was called a great man in Gangseo Samak just because he was a disciple of the Hangzhou Saseon, and he did not hate it again.
‘It is better to be a good man than a bad man.’
These days, the thought that I would never have done before came to my mind.
Doo doo doo!
As he was about to enter the alley from the main road, he heard a loud noise of horseshoes. When he glanced around, his eyes fell on three jet-black horses running down the street.
Pedestrians were frightened and avoided, while some hugged the seat and fell.
“It’s like people with no public morals like that.”
As he was about to enter the alley, he saw a ball rolling in his eyes. When the colorful ball rolls, a child would inevitably appear.
The problem was that the ball rolled in front of the wildly running horse. Then the child appeared chasing the ball. If he were to leave like that, the child would have no choice but to be hit by a horse’s hoof.
“Stop!”
He had never pushed someone in front of a horse in his life, but he had also never been saved from a horse’s hoof.
Then, Go Seobang did something he had never done in his life at that moment. Three horses passed behind the West’s back, causing him to snatch the child and hold her to the side of the road. If it had been a little late, the child would have been covered in blood.
“Nothing to watch out for! You motherfuckers!”
He wanted to chase after him and break the ribs, but he ended up screaming because there was a warning from the Blood Lion that if he got into an accident he would die.
However, the three horses stopped. They turned their noses to face the Old West Room.
“No matter how urgent the road is, you can’t just listen to the motherfucker and go.”
The man in the middle spits out a gloomy voice. It was only then that Goseobang could take a closer look at their outfits.
Black bamboo ribs, black light suit, and a cloak of the same color. Old Seobang remembered a name from them.
The Black Temple.
Located in Anhui Province, the Black Temple was a group of black swordsmen that only employed 100 people.
When a strong Mundo entered, the weakest remaining would disappear.
And so, there was not a single person who was not a master in the Black Temple Mundo. However, it was not that the Old West was afraid of the Black Death Gate.
“The heads of black snakes will be locked up in Anhui, so why did they come all the way to Hangzhou to set up?”
“You know us.”
“If it were like the past, I would have added some snake wine as soon as I saw your face, but I am fortunate to know that I am a naive person.”
“Wow!”
The child, who had been left behind his back, suddenly burst out crying in surprise.
Go Seobang, who quickly turned around, began to comfort the child.
“Ugh, my baby was very surprised…”
An eerie and anticipative feeling came at the same time. The late West quickly turned around and tried to get out of the seat.
However, he had forgotten about fighting for some time, and his body slowed down his reaction.
Whoops!
