Episode 205

“… … “How long has it been?”
Jinhyuk woke up to the chirping of birds outside the window, looked out the window with tired eyes and muttered.
As soon as I returned from spending a few days in the inner world, I went straight to dreamland without even opening my eyes, so I had no idea how many days it was or how much I had slept.
“You’re awake, bro.”
“… … Gil-dong. “Okay, you know how long I’ve been like this, right?”
“of course. “I came here to see my brother once a day, so wouldn’t it be even weirder if I didn’t know about it?”
If it weren’t for Gildong who stopped by next to me, it would have taken quite a while to figure it out.
And Gildong nodded as if it was obvious and started folding his fingers.
“Hmm- Mr. Hyung, who started treatment from the first day he stayed in the dorm, was awake for about 2 days and devoted himself to treatment for about 6 days. “It’s about 8 days in total.”
“… … “You wrote a lot.”
“It means that the wound was so severe and that there was a lot of fatigue. “I’m being honest and calm about this, but I thought he was dead while he was sitting down, so I put my finger under his nose.”
“Tsk.”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as he watched Gildong pretending to put his finger under his nose, shaking his head and getting up.
Jinhyuk got up from the fluffy, soft blanket and pointed to the blanket.
“Who brought this?”
“Ah, I ordered the maid to lay it down. Of course, the maid and her maid took turns, so don’t worry.”
“It doesn’t matter if anyone criticizes me. Well, anyway, I slept well. thank you.”
“… … It was nothing. “Don’t forget that you are my benefactor.”
“Since we exchanged it once, can’t we just pretend it wasn’t there?”
“Brother! Once a benefactor, always a benefactor! “You don’t know these words?!”
Jinhyeok sighed as he looked at Gildong, who seemed to have a deep-rooted spirit in the Marine Corps. He waved his hand and left the room, telling him to do as he pleased.
“… … Ugh-”
“The sunlight must be strong. “Well, I’ve been in the room for more than a few days, so it’s inevitable that my skin and eyes will become weak.”
“… … egg plant.”
Tsutsutsutsu-
Jinhyuk, who felt that his skin and eyes, which had not seen the light for a long time in the hot sunlight, were shocked, immediately covered his entire body with Soul Skin.
In an instant, my entire body, covered with spiritual power, easily took in the hot sunlight.
“Where?”
Gil-dong tilted his head and asked back as he watched Jin-hyuk take a quick step forward.
This is because I had no idea where Jinhyuk, who had just woken up, was going.
Jinhyeok responded to Gildong’s question as if it were obvious.
“rice.”
“… … Ah, hehehe – yes. When you wake up, you have to eat first. “I will guide you to the restaurant.”
rice.
It was a short answer, but it had a lot of implied meaning. Gil-dong held his stomach and giggled as he guided Jin-hyuk toward the restaurant. * * *
Crunch crunch-
“… … “You eat really well.”
“Because my body is asking for it.”
Jinhyeok entered the restaurant and frantically ate the delicacies placed in front of him.
Geolsin.
This was the name that Gildong unconsciously thought of when he saw Jinhyeok just now.
But I didn’t say it out loud for no reason.
‘… … The momentum has definitely changed. If you say something strange, you might get beaten up… … .’
This is because Jinhyeok’s spirit changed drastically after completing treatment and even absorbing the energy of the Four Emperors.
To the point where I doubt whether I could win even if I were to fight with all my might.
“Now that I think about it, where are all the souls that you used to control? I looked around for days and couldn’t see anything. Did it disappear due to the shock coming to Yuldo Kingdom?”
Therefore, Gil-dong asked about Jin-hyeok’s mental illness without mentioning the word ‘beolshin’.
I asked because I couldn’t see not only Vulcan, who always stuck around, but also other corps commander-level soul soldiers.
However, Jinhyeok’s answer when he returned was calm.
“No way. It’s all outside. “It’s probably attached to Ha-ryu or Miho.”
“… … “So that means you’re living alone now.”
“That’s the way it is.”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous? It’s not something I would say in my country… … “Yuldo-guk has been in quite a bit of turmoil lately.”
Jinhyeok put down the meat he was holding and burst out laughing at Gildong’s worried words with a hard face.
“You don’t have to have it. Because at least I can stay healthy. “If you really need to, you can just make it again here.”
“… … here?”
“There must be at least one grave, right? There are probably ghosts or spirits staying there. Just make them soul sick. Of course, I accept the soul’s permission. “Because this is your land.”
“… … “I would be grateful if you did, but I don’t know if the owner of the place will allow it.”
Muttering-
If necessary, you can make it again.
Gil-dong was a little surprised to see such a calm appearance for someone who lost a huge army in an instant, but he soon remembered the owner of the ‘grave street’ that Jin-hyeok had mentioned and trailed off.
“Who is it that is making such a fuss?”
“… … “The one who almost became my fiancée?”
“Ah, was that person the owner of the graveside?”
Of the two would-be fiancées, the one who fell out.
Jinhyeok shook his head when he heard that that person was the owner of the tomb.

“Even if it’s me, I don’t want to give up the souls of the grave to someone who was brought in by the person who almost became my fiancé… … .”
“that… … “That’s not the reason!”
“I thought it was for that reason.”
If a person who chose someone other than themselves to be his fiancée said, “I will take your soul”, there is no way that the person who could be said to be their master would allow that.
However, Gildong denied that that was the reason.
“I said no! “In the first place, Hyerin and I have been friends since we were young.”
“We were childhood friends? “Is that woman named Hye-rin the owner of the tomb?”
“… … Yes, we were childhood friends. And if you think about her family, you can see why the tomb, which is the only one in Yuldo Kingdom and boasts a huge area, belongs to her.”
“no way-“
It is the only tomb in Yuldo-guk and has a huge size.
A family owns a place with a strong public aspect.
The moment Jinhyeok remembered that fact, he guessed where her family lineage was and expressed surprise.
Gil-dong also shook his head, saying that his thoughts were correct.
“One of the two families that founded Yuldo-guk with the founder Hong Gil-dong and a descendant of the underworld messenger Kanglim Doryeong. “That is my childhood friend Kang Hye-rin.” * * *
“… … “I never thought I’d hear such an amazing story while eating.”
Because it was not something you would hear at a meal, Jinhyeok had to put down the meat he had heard with a shocked expression on his face.
Gil-dong got angry at that.
“I said this because my brother said it first!”
“… … Well, that’s true, but why did you dump her?”
“It’s not that I’m cold, I just liked Woohee more than Hyerin from the beginning.”
“Can’t we both get married?”
A hero has three wives and concubines –
It wasn’t such an old-fashioned saying.
The tower is a place where moral common sense or standards do not apply.
It’s only natural that climbers from various dimensions climb the tower.
At one level, it is legal for a man to have multiple wives, and it is legal for a woman to have multiple husbands.
Therefore, the thought that Jinhyuk did not necessarily have to marry just one person was deeply ingrained in him.
but.
“… … Such nonsense! “It is a law for a man to leave his beloved wife behind and look at her with single-mindedness!”
“Ah, this was a place where only one person was treated with obedience.”
“Tsk, I don’t care how many wives or husbands other people have, but at least it’s not us.”
Within Yuldo Kingdom, there was only a culture similar to Earth.
Jinhyeok roughly nodded as he watched Gildong add that he could do whatever he wanted, but at least he and they were not like that.
“Well, you can at least talk about it, right?”
“That’s true, but… … .”
“Why, didn’t you tell me a while ago that you were close and that it would be okay?”
“… … “Keuhum!”
Like a person with a flower garden in his head, Gil-dong chose one of the two people to be his fiancee and said that he would remain close even with his estranged lover. Jin-hyuk, who was clearly aware of Gil-dong’s appearance, made fun of him.
Gildong couldn’t say anything to that.
‘… … I definitely thought I could do that, but now that I’m actually trying to meet him, it’s really awkward.’
Public and private affairs.
Gil-dong thought that it would be okay if they made a distinction like that.
When I thought about the fact that I might have to come face to face with Kang Hye-rin, the head of the river family and with whom I had been talking about getting married, I couldn’t help but feel reluctant for some reason.
“… … “I’ll tell you the location, so you can go there alone-”
“Are you kidding me?”
“… … “It won’t work either.”
Jinhyuk stood up and patted Gildong’s sullen shoulder.
“Whether it’s Kang Hye-rin or Jeon Woo-hee, isn’t that what’s important right now?”
“… … “Okay, there’s still time to meet anyway, so it’ll be okay if you prepare slowly.”
“that’s right. And maybe you don’t need a soul bottle?”
“Big- that’s right.”
“Well, it’s not that the soul disease is the problem, but I’m quite interested. It might be a good idea to take some time and go see him later.”
“tongue… … Brother? What is that all of a sudden-”
Just when he thought he had taken a breather, Gil-dong was greatly taken aback by Jin-hyuk’s voice, which sounded like a death sentence, but Jin-hyuk didn’t care.
“Taoist arts and martial arts. “Should I tell you?”
“… … “I understand.”
Druk-
I just ask you to teach me about Taoist powers and Taoist arts.
Gil-dong got up from the table with a sigh and stood next to Jin-hyuk.
It was time to fulfill the contract. * * *
Wheeoooo-
“It’s in a place like this too.”
“There are many places in Yuldo-guk with such beautiful scenery. In addition, places like this are densely packed with natural energy, so they are places where young Taoists often visit to gather Dao energy.”
“So it’s for beginners.”
“Regardless of your abilities, you are a beginner right now.”
“No complaints. Rather good. There’s no need to run when you can’t even walk. Now, let’s start with crawling.”
On a cliff where the wind blows harshly.
The majestic forest below, strangely shaped rocks, and a waterfall visible in the distance.
Jinhyeok sat cross-legged next to Gildong, who was sitting cross-legged, taking in the heart-pounding scenery just by looking at it.
“You’re good at it. “Just close your eyes and take a deep breath.”
“I get it.”
“If you breathe in and out and repeat that, at some point you will feel like you have become one with nature, right?”
“… … .”
Hong Gil-dong, who was teaching the most basic method of collecting sword power, suddenly opened his eyes to see Jin-hyuk becoming quiet.
And then he burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.
“No, how can a person who just gathered his power for the first time and heard the basics of Tonapbeop immediately become one with nature?”
The natural energy contained in Jinhyuk’s breathing as he quietly closes his eyes and repeats his inhalation and exhalation.
Furthermore, it was because I noticed that things that would become the foundation of Taoist power were going in and out repeatedly.
“… … Do you need a teacher?”
If you teach one thing, does a disciple who can do ten or a hundred things on his own really need a teacher? After thinking this, Gildong shook his head and got up from his seat.
“The weather is really nice. I should have brought at least a bear bag. I’m about to smoke… … .”
All Masters.
It was the first time Gildong, who had never been pushed aside by anyone for his talents such as Taoism, felt a wall against someone in the face of the overwhelming talent of a being who mastered everything.
