〈 Episode 550 〉 Shaman.
“brother?”
It was around this time that my ears started to tingle slightly from the unfamiliar name.
The other person is also looking at me with wide eyes, as if he is somewhat embarrassed.
Just by looking at it, his big eyes were glaring.
“Why is my brother here?”
I also had to frown when Gu Ryeong-hwa asked.
“That’s what I wanted to ask.”
Why is he here?
“Why are you here?”
“It is my brother.”
The situation is absurd as we look at each other.
Who would have thought that we would meet blood ties here?
It was even my first time seeing Guryeonghwa in quite some time.
Even though they were related by blood, they left through the door.
Because of the distance, we didn’t have to see each other unless it was a special situation.
‘How many years has it been?’
I think the last time I saw it was four or five years ago.
Perhaps because of the passage of time, the Gu Ryeong-hwa I met after a long time had changed considerably.
Where is the little girl with puffy cheeks going?
She had become a woman with some sense of maturity.
‘hmm.’
What should I say about that?
If Gu Hee-bi or Gu Yeon-seo have a fierce appearance that is unique to the Gu family.
Gu Ryeong-hwa had an appearance that coexisted with softness.
That’s just… .
‘You take after your mother.’
Her appearance reminded me of my mother in my memories.
As I look at Gu Ryeong-hwa’s face here and there.
Gu Ryeong-hwa is also picking at my face here and there for the same reason.
No, it seems like the gaze is towards the body rather than the face?
“… brother.”
“hmm?”
“why… Why did it get so big?”
“… what?”
It’s Gu Ryeong-hwa’s voice as if she doesn’t understand.
Is it getting bigger? I was wondering what it was that was getting bigger.
To look into Gu Ryeong-hwa’s eyes.
‘ah.’
It seems to be referring to height.
Although my body size has shrunk a bit now, it is not small.
‘Did I reduce it too little?’
After losing weight, my body size grew significantly. Originally, it was said that it was adjusted to suit the body.
It wasn’t easy.
‘The people around me must be so big.’
The people around me are much taller than average.
It was difficult to confirm this with the naked eye.
Perhaps that’s why Gu Ryeong-hwa is so embarrassed.
“I grew up because I ate well and slept well.”
“It’s not a little bit… ? “Wow, you’ve grown a lot.”
For some reason, Gu Ryeong-hwa was looking quite aggrieved.
It seems he doesn’t like how much I’ve grown.
Certainly, the old painting I just saw had good proportions, but it was a bit small.
‘I think it’s similar to Tang So-yeol.’
Can not help it.
Most people born in the Gu family are small in size.
In that gap, the elder and the father were strange, but historically, there were no such great people.
Even in my past life, I couldn’t even get close to 6 ships.
For a male drone, he had a fairly small physique.
Considering that, it is inevitable that Guryeonghwa is small.
Therefore, I had no choice but to ignore Gu Ryeong-hwa, who felt unfair.
“… So, why are you here?”
Gu Ryeong-hwa frowns slightly at the question.
Then, just as I was about to say something.
“Accident.”
The sound of a chanting prayer could be heard from behind.
This is also a sign I felt earlier.
Gu Ryeong-hwa closes her mouth at the words calling her.

After seeing the chanting, I shifted my gaze to the owner of the voice.
A young man walks on the ground illuminated by the moon.
It was obviously night, but it felt like light was accumulating only on that side.
Hwiiing-.
Moreover, the wind blowing from the young man’s direction is mixed with a faint scent of flowers.
Surely this is not an illusion.
“long time no see.”
The young man looks at me and smiles.
He’s tall, handsome, and has a handsome face, and that deep smile.
He still had an unlucky face.
I said looking at him.
“… Youngpoong Dojo.”
The identity of the young man is exactly that.
The youngest Maehwa swordsman produced by the Hwasan faction, and the late swordsman currently sitting in the position of sword dragon.
It was Yeongpung, the volcano sword dragon.
“haha!”
At my call, Youngpoong smiles shyly and walks over.
“I never thought I’d see you here. How have you been?”
Youngpoong approached me with his signature soft smile.
“Yes, the seal… .”
As he spoke, he briefly glanced at Youngpoong.
“It looks like you were doing well. “That’s quite a bit.”
“ha ha ha… .”
Even as I spoke, I was quite surprised inside.
‘Look at him?’
This is because Yeongpung’s state was unusual.
‘You’re facing a wall, right?’
It’s clear that Youngpoong barely reached his peak until a few years ago.
Now, surprisingly, he was right in front of Hwa-gyeong.
even.
‘The energy has become much deeper.’
The pottery of Hwasanpapa had become much deeper.
“… “What were you doing?”
I wasn’t going to ask, but I was so curious that I couldn’t help it.
What on earth did I do at Hwasanpa to make such a difference?
Let’s ask that question.
Young Poong speaks to me without erasing his embarrassed expression.
“I didn’t know you would notice right away. After all, it’s the old Confucius.”
“I don’t think it’s something to do without knowing.”
This is absurd.
I wonder if Youngpoong was trying to hide his state.
Now, rather than hiding it, Youngpoong was revealing it.
‘It’s so big, how can you not notice it?’
Maximized presence.
An enormous energy was radiating from Youngpoong.
‘So I noticed.’
The reason I was able to notice someone coming from far away.
The current Yeongpung was the reason.
How can you not know when it radiates energy like that?
“ah.”
Youngpoong listens to me and reacts as if he realized something.
“… “Oops, I guess I made a mistake.”
As Youngpoong says that, his energy gradually begins to diminish.
The wind around me is decreasing. The scent of flowers quietly disappeared.
After all the energy disappeared, I could see how Youngpoong was radiating such energy.
“It looks like you recently gained enlightenment.”
“haha… .”
Youngpoong laughs awkwardly.
It seemed like he had recently realized something and had grown rapidly.
So, I guess I’m not able to control my energy, so I’m just going around expressing it like that.
ha.
Seeing this, Gu Ryeong-hwa, who was next to him, suddenly sighed.
He then looked at Youngpoong and said.
“… Please, I told you to hide your energy.”
“Accident, did I show off like that?”
“Then it won’t be noticeable!”
Gu Ryeong-hwa shoots Young Poong a look of exhaustion.
“Don’t you remember how much the demons were confused on the way back because of the spirit of the spirit wind?”
Because the warrior’s energy was so strong, it seems that the monsters sensed his presence and attacked him.
“sorry. I tried to hide it… . “This is not easy.”
When Youngpoong spoke with an apologetic expression, Gu Ryeonghwa kept her mouth shut as if she had nothing more to say.
It seemed like it was because I knew it wasn’t intentional.
“it’s okay… . “Because Sajil captured all the monsters anyway.”
“no. You also put in effort… .”
“I have a conscience too, so you don’t have to say that.”
“… yep.”
Yeongpoong kept his mouth shut at Gu Ryeonghwa’s firm words.
As I was looking at that, I spit out the words.
“So, what are you two?”
No matter how you look at it, it was an unusual companionship.
This means that Yeongpung, the third great disciple, and Gu Ryeonghwa, the second great disciple, are accompanying each other.
Aside from that, it was strange that two people who should have been part of the Hwasan faction were in distant Honam.
“that is… .”
Gu Ryeong-hwa is trying to answer my question.
“This is the name of a long-time writer.”
Yeongpoong intervenes as if covering Gu Ryeonghwa’s mouth.
“Jangmunin?”
“yes.”
If Yeongpoong is talking about Jangmun-in, it probably means the plum blossom line of Hwasanpa.
“Maehwaseon sent the two of you here?”
“yes.”
The three great disciples who find it difficult to leave their clan.
Although he is a disciple of Lee Dae, he mixed in a strange old flower?
It was a combination that made no sense in common sense.
To that extent. I wanted to ask more, but I didn’t.
This is because he knew the meaning of what Youngpoong said.
‘Why did you mention Jang Moon-in?’
Since this is an important matter that occurred within the sect, I cannot speak about it without the permission of Jang Mun-in.
That meaning was implied.
‘It probably means that they will block you from asking questions in advance.’
Once I figured that out, I immediately lost interest.
“is it so. “Then that’s it.”
As I gave an answer, Youngpoong looked at me and smiled slightly.
“… “The old Confucius is still the same.”
It’s still the same. There will be no one else who has changed as much as me.
“It’s a compliment, right?”
“Yes, I believed that at least Confucius would not have changed. Fortunately, the.”
It doesn’t seem like a compliment at all.
I decided not to bother making nitpicks.
“… So, why are you here?”
I looked at Gu Ryeong-hwa after hearing the words that followed.
“Isn’t your brother supposed to be in Shanxi?”
I thought for a moment about what to say.
Since I couldn’t think of anything else to say, I decided to answer anyway.
“What am I? “I ran away from home.”
“what… ?”
As someone who was born as an idiot, there is nothing simpler to say than this.
“I wanted to get some fresh air outside. So I ran away from home.”
As he spoke bluntly, Gu Ryeong-hwa’s expression immediately changed.
It felt a little pathetic.
“brother… .”
“… I was about to go in. “Are you still on your way home?”
To be honest, I’m thinking about going straight to Hanam instead of going home.
It won’t matter.
Gu Ryeong-hwa briefly looked as if she was astonished by my words, then turned her eyes and glanced at her surroundings.
It felt like I was looking for something.
“What are you doing?”
“Then what about your sister?”
“sister?”
When I asked Gu Ryeong-hwa what he meant, he said with an expression that it was natural.
“If your brother is here, doesn’t that mean your sister is here too?”
“… No, I mean.”
As I try to speak, I stop.
I could barely hold back what was about to come out of my mouth.
‘What kind of’ sister are you talking about?
I knew that if I said that, all the affection I had for Gu Ryeong-hwa would be lost.
As I was mumbling and unable to speak, Gu Ryeong-hwa spoke to me as if she was frustrated.
“I mean Bia.”
“ah.”
Only then was I able to nod my head.
You were talking about Namgungbia.
“Isn’t your sister here?”
“He… .”
I went a little far.
I was wondering for a moment if I should say this.
“I haven’t heard from you in a few years. I thought that if my brother was here, my sister would be there too… .”
huh?
I had to frown at Gu Ryeong-hwa’s words.
“What do you mean by contact? “What does that mean?”
“huh? Oh, I occasionally exchange letters with my sisters. “Unlike others, they responded well.”
“…”
After hearing Gu Ryeong-hwa’s words, he looked dumbfounded.
The ‘who’ is talking about over there would be me.
Gu Ryeong-hwa said it was a letter, and whenever she sent something, she never received a reply.
It was annoying, and I had no idea what to write.
however.
‘… ‘Who were you communicating with?’
Apart from the fact that Namgungbia was in contact with Gu Ryeonghwa.
I had to focus on the words Gu Ryeong-hwa said.
Obviously, Gu Ryeong-hwa said ‘sisters’ and not ‘sister’.
“Sisters… . “What, who on earth are you contacting?”
In response to my question, Gu Ryeong-hwa made an expression as if asking why she was asking that.
“With Bia and Seol-ah… . Soyeol does it sometimes too… .”
They start spitting out names one by one.
My head hurt slightly as I heard the names being listed.
“Ah, but Hee-ah is the one who does it the most.”
“…”
There was even Mo Yong-hee.
“Last time, I came in person and ate together.”
“What, what. “Who did you eat with?”
“Hee-ah, unnie.”
Mo Yong-hee and Gu Ryeong-hwa had a meal.
I’ve seen Nangongbia and Wei Seol-ah at least once, so I guess that’s the case.
Tang So-yeol and Mo Yong-hee may have never seen each other, but when were they in contact with Gu Ling-hwa?
also.
‘When did he go to Shaanxi?’
When on earth did Mo Yong-hee go to Shaanxi during her busy life?
That too without me knowing.
A dizzying feeling passed over me as a fact that I had no idea about was revealed.
“Ah, brother.”
“uh… ?”
Just as my eyeballs were shaking, Gu Ryeong-hwa slowly approached me and asked me a question.
“Hee-ah and I are having a wedding next year… . Really?”
“… “What are you doing?”
“Then Bia… ?”
“No, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? “Who said that?”
“Hee-ah… . I think I’ll probably have a wedding next year… .”
“I’m going to turn. really.”
What kind of nonsense have you been saying to this guy?
Who is getting married to whom?
If Mo Yong-hee really said those things to Gu Ryeong-hwa.
‘I guess I’ll have to catch him and talk to him.’
There was a need to check whether it was because he caught it himself.
of course… .
‘… ‘It won’t work now, though.’
Mo Yong-hee is currently pursuing a business with his wife Mi.
Additionally, because he is carrying out the work I asked him to do, I don’t get to see him often.
Lately, I’ve barely been able to see the moon’s face.
hani.
‘I’ll have to ask about it when I see it later.’
I need to know what you were doing without me knowing.
That’s why I’m planning to catch Mo Yong-hee and scold her.
In front, Gu Ryeong-hwa’s expression is slightly crumpled.
“… Did I say something I shouldn’t have said… ?”
“No, it was very useful information.”
“I think I’ll get scolded by my sister later…” .”
Gu Ryeong-hwa rolls her eyes as if she is anxious, then looks at the person behind me.
It was Seongyul watching from afar.
“Is this person your brother’s friend?”
“hmm?”
“that… . The shaman Jamryong… .”
I frowned at Gu Ryeong-hwa’s words.
“How do you know that?”
How does Gu Ryeong-hwa know that I am friendly with Jamryong?
In response to my question, Gu Ryeong-hwa made an omitted expression and spoke to me with a slightly ambiguous smile.
“Sister… .”
This time, I think the information came from that damn ‘older sister’.
What kind of sister is this?
Just thinking about it gave me a headache.
“That’s not him.”
“no?”
“Do you think he is a Taoist?”
of course.
Woohyuk is a guy with too many problems to be called a monk.
For now, I decided to pretend not to know for the sake of a brief explanation.
I looked at Seongyul and gave a rough explanation to Gu Ryeonghwa.
“Just an acquaintance. You don’t have to worry… .”
“Castle stamp?”
“… hmm?”
He’s making excuses for Seongyul.
Youngpoong, who was next to him, looked at Seongyul and spoke.
Stop.
Seongyul is startled and trembles at Youngpoong’s words.
He didn’t look surprised at all.
Seeing Seongyul’s reaction, I wonder if the two know each other.
‘Why is it like that?’
The guy’s eyes were shaking as if he was anxious.
When I see that, I guess.
It seemed like there was something unusual about the relationship.
*
Saaaaaaa-!
The snow blows in the rushing wind.
A fierce snowstorm made it impossible to see an inch ahead.
It’s truly cold like a knife.
No matter how many layers of clothes you wear, your body will freeze before long.
Therefore, people used to call the current land the so-called cold land.
There is not a day when it does not snow on this earth.
A place where the wind stopped and spring never came.
This was such a land.
Beyond that land.
Kaaaaaa-!
A huge roar was heard through the wind.
Grumbling-!
The ground shakes with a roar.
thud-! Thump thump-!
Above the ground shaking as if there had been an earthquake.
A figure dressed in fur was walking.
The destination is the center of that huge sound.
Rumbling!
Wow-!
It’s understandable to be scared of the continuous explosions.
He just moves slowly.
As I walked a little further, I started to smell an unknown burnt smell.
Crrrrr-! Kaaaaaa-!
The sound was much rougher, but he could tell by hearing the smell and sound of the coal.
That it is slowly coming to an end.
When I felt that, my walking speed increased.
I walked a little further like that.
Rumbling-!!
With the loudest roar I’ve ever heard.
Kuuuuung-!
Something falls and the ground hits! I was shaken.
As a result, the young man was able to see.
Far away, on the messed up land.
A huge monster resembling a monkey with red fur had fallen.
The burnt smell was also felt from that guy.
“Hey.”
Seeing that, the young man let out an exclamation without realizing it.
“You burned it quite a bit. “Did you vent your anger?”
The young man spoke in a sly tone.
There was no answer.
Of course, these words were not addressed to a monster that was already dead.
The young man’s gaze was not addressed to the monster, but to the woman standing above him.
It wasn’t too cold, so I was wearing a loose coat.
White hair that was just tied back and neatly organized.
The skin that resembled snow was impressive, but the woman’s eyes were colder than the current weather.
The young man said while looking at him.
“Do you know where I went? I’ve been looking for it for a while. “Samai.”
“…”
The young man continued talking, but the woman still did not pay attention.
It’s as if they can’t hear you.
However, the young man did not stop.
“I know you’re upset because our departure was late. What can I do? Binggungju says there is work left to do.”
“…”
“You and the White Lotus Sword senior caused such a fuss. “I don’t know why it’s always my job to look for Samae.”
“…”
“Are you lost again? “Well, next time, please leave some bread crumbs behind so we can easily recognize you.”
“…”
Despite continued ignoring, the young man did not give up and spoke to him.
As expected, the woman just stands still.
The young man who saw that quickly sighed.
“Mr. Jesu. Even if it sounds harsh… .”
“… why… yo. this?”
“…”
The young man had to hold his forehead in response to the answer he had just heard.
“… “It’s a plague.”
A swear word that my close friend always used to say.
Woohyuk somehow felt like he knew why he was spitting that out.
Woohyuk, who continued to sigh deeply, looked at the woman again and spoke.
“… “The princess is looking for Mr. Jesu.”
“The princess… ?”
The woman’s expression was full of puzzlement.
This was because he could not figure out why the princess was looking for him.
“Well, from what I heard.”
Woohyuk said this.
“Yangcheon, I heard you have questions about that friend… .”
“… !”
“If Jesu says he doesn’t want to go. I have a separate excuse… huh?”
Woohyuk pauses while speaking.
Apparently, the woman in front of me just now had disappeared somewhere.
at that time.
“song.”
Woohyuk quickly turns his head when he hears a voice coming from behind him.
In that direction, the woman was walking as if she wanted to go at any moment.
“…”
Woohyuk looks at me as if it’s ridiculous.
The woman was already walking.
Woohyuk said after seeing that.
“Mr. Jesu. “That’s not the direction.”
“…”
The woman changes direction at Woohyuk’s point.
In Woohyuk’s opinion, that was also the wrong direction.
