Episode 136. devils and demons (1)
“Oooh!”
Jang Woo-hui, who had emptied his stomach several times, was flushed red.
“Damn it. It turns my stomach.”
A disheveled outfit, a blushing face, and uncharacteristically harsh words.
He was a typical drunkard. A young man who had been quite a distance from him grabbed his nose to see how much he had drunk.
Jang Woo-hwi screamed.
“What are you looking at, you son of a bitch! Won’t it turn off?!”
Pronunciation doesn’t work either. The young man frowned at him and turned away.
Jang Woo-hui, who spat heavily, smirked.
“pup! Where dare… … uh huh?”
Unable to keep his body still, he stumbled over and over, and eventually sat down. Needless to say, the place where he collapsed was also the place where he poured out his vomit a little while ago.
I wonder if I was dumbfounded myself, and then I smile.
“How is it? My life is a gutter.”
He put his head against the wall and looked up at the sky.
The dark night sky was full of clouds, so no stars could be seen.
“Yes, it is you. I came out to the world to try my luck, and I only suffered bad things… … .”
Somehow, he was noticed by Hong Kuan and entered the history of the Red Army.
It was caught that the family belonged to magic, but anyway, isn’t it a prestigious family here? It was embarrassing, but I was also happy to think that the sky hadn’t abandoned me.
But what is it? Didn’t a family that had barely settled down become devastated because of a monster dispatched from the headquarters of Murim, Madou?
‘My sales person is like that.’
I was in the mood to be what I should be now. Even if you struggle and try, don’t you fail in the end? I thought that if this was the case, there would be no need to live in high school.
But think about that for a while.
“… … .”
Jang Woo-hui let out a big sigh.
“It’s ugly, you bastard.”
I despised people who struggled in despair because they were so frustrated, but I never thought I would be like this.
He struggled to come to his senses and rose from his seat. It looks fine from the outside, but the inside of the current jeoksaga is full of sleep. Ga-joo was bedridden and Ga-joo Lee died, and in the midst of this, the elders were engaged in a strife in a struggle for rights.
“The country also needs to center itself.”
It was not a time like this not for the sake of the enemy, but even for himself.
Ugh.
I’m so drunk that it’s hard to raise my inner energy properly. I still don’t have the skills to blow away my spirits, but I still feel like I’m a little sober.
‘huh?’
As he walked along the wall, he suddenly felt that the alleyway had become darker.
‘what?’
Jang Woo-hwi raised his head.
“omg!”
Before he knew it, a sturdy man clad in blood was standing leaning against the wall.
This is the outfit of a ronin commonly seen in Gangho. However, there was no other reason for Jang Woo-hui’s surprise.
atmosphere.
It is more desolate than the endless desert and more threatening than boiling molten iron. Even the cold wind from the distant North Sea would be like a warm spring breeze compared to the man’s eyes, and the scorching sun in midsummer would be inferior to fireflies compared to the man’s eyes.
The outfit was common, but this indescribable atmosphere was unlike anyone else’s. Even the demons of Protestantism would not be able to radiate a foreign energy like this man.
“The Red Army is the commander-in-chief, right?”
creepy
Just hearing his voice gave me strength in my hamstrings.
Instinct shouted to run away, but the body, which had lost its strength and stiffened, did not intend to move. It was difficult to even open my mouth.
Flash!
The man’s bluish eyes flashed.
Jang Woo-hui’s complexion, which had been flushed from alcohol, turned pale at once.
‘ghost?’
Sureureung.
The longsword that had been hidden by the bloody clothes was revealed.
“Right.”
Jang Woo-hui opened his mouth with all his might.
“Everyone, who are you… … ?!”
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
He died of an explosion without even being able to finish his words.
Literally, his whole body exploded and he died. The man just pointed his sword at him, but Jang Woo-hui’s body was torn to pieces as if he had been hit by a firearm and flew away in all directions.
Fresh blood soaked the walls of the alley. Broken flesh seemed to tremble in the cold.
The man with the sword turned around.
Sasasac!
At the same time, three men appeared behind him. Unlike the swordsmen dressed in bloody clothes, their appearance in black overalls was clean and fierce.
“What about the kids?”
The men answered at the same time.
“Currently, we are waiting about 50 li away from Jeoksa.”
“Since the enemy’s surveillance network has weakened, I think it’s okay to get closer 30 li.”
“There are no reinforcements from Chilga. It looks like they haven’t spread any rumors yet.”
The bloody man nodded.

“What about the Demonic Cult?”
“It is ambiguous. But I think if I had known, I would have intervened right away.”
silence for a moment.
The man spoke again.
“It doesn’t matter whether you know it or not.”
You can feel the strong confidence in every single word you say casually.
“Tell the kids. I want the enemy to come in within 5 ri of the range by midnight today.”
The man, Mu Kang-in, the vice-gungju of the sword palace, said.
“We’ll have the Red Saga in our hands until the sun rises tomorrow.”
* * *
The movement speed of Seo Liang and Ma Dong-pil was very fast. But even in the middle of it, I had a lot of time.
Xi Liang was never in a hurry to go.
When I was moving, I ran as hard as I could, but when I was resting, I definitely rested. When I ate, I always ate until I was full, and I got enough sleep at three o’clock.
Ma Dong-pil was puzzled.
“Confucius.”
“ok?”
“Can I move around like this?”
“Don’t you think you’re particularly relaxed? Think of the distance we covered in two days.”
“Of course it is, but… … .”
“There is no need to move in haste. Unless it’s an urgent situation, you shouldn’t rule out a break.”
“It is true.”
“You should also keep in mind. It would be similar in any field, but especially for unmanned people, timing is important.”
“When?”
“I’m talking about timing. If you have been training to die, there are times when you have to die and play.”
Ma Dong-pil smiled unconsciously.
“Why are you laughing?”
“It doesn’t suit Confucius.”
“why? What advice can I give you?”
“Could that be? However, I have never seen someone who works tirelessly like Confucius.”
“Damn it.”
How could Ma Dong-pil not understand Xu Liang’s advice? Each person has a different way of approaching their field, but when you rest, you definitely need to rest.
What was surprising, however, was the atmosphere of Western Liang.
‘He doesn’t look like a person who has big things ahead of him.’
Whether it was proposing a deal or suppressing it by force and acting like a slave, he was already entangled in an uncomfortable relationship with the enemy. It’s not strange for me to use a knife with harsh words.
It was surprising to see that he wasn’t very nervous even going to such a dangerous area. If a person is nervous and urgent, it will be difficult to rest comfortably like this.
However, Xi Liang was not as nervous as Ma Dong-pil could see.
‘Is this very awkward?’
Xu Liang thought as he chewed the rabbit meat hard.
‘It’s not a difficult target to attack if it’s the enemy now.’
It was not a mere analogy, but a guess close to certainty.
Isn’t there already a history of overturning once as an inspector? Although he was blinded by King Biyo’s apprentice, he was fully aware of the extent of the enemy saga’s power.
‘Of course, just me, Dongpil, and Kumho aren’t enough.’
Even if it is rotten and damaged, Chilga is Chilga. Ga-joo is bedridden and Ga-joo Lee is dead, but the rest of the troops are still alive.
It is said that even a battle situation where an unfavorable master is unfavorable can be overturned in an instant, but dealing with a group armed with hundreds of masters with just three is like hitting a rock with an egg.
However, the reason I thought it was easy to capture was because I was going to make a deal, not to fight.
If the deal doesn’t work, you just leave. As long as the enemy is not crazy, there is no way he will touch the disciple of the religious leader who has visited twice.
The vase will be ignorant, but that’s for sure.
‘But why am I being wary again?’
Could the enemy saga have dug a trap? But how do you know you’re coming?
‘I really don’t know this.’
As I was thinking about it, I didn’t even know I had eaten all the meat before I knew it.
Xu Liang threw the bone he was washing into the bonfire.
“Confucius.”
“why?”
“How about Kumho… … .”
Xu Liang turned his head and looked at Geumho.
A dozen or so feet away, Kumho was licking the fur of a dead tiger. It’s clear that I didn’t kill them to eat them, but I don’t know what they’re doing.
Seo Liang shrugged.
“You’re taking a scam.”
“yes?”
“Have you ever caught a tiger before?”
“Ah, it was. Obviously in Hyungsan… … .”
“Bum is the King of the Mountains. Its vitality is nothing compared to other beasts.”
Ma Dong-pil’s face hardened.
“Even if Kumho is a Suction Magician… … .”
“Does that make sense? Even if it is a spirit creature, how do you learn martial arts?”
For some reason, it seems like it might be the case.
“There are many animals full of vitality. The reason why I caught the tiger in the middle of the day is because the tigers I have caught have killed a lot of people.”
“Were they the criminals who caused Hohwan?”
“okay. A ghost has stuck to the original source of the tiger. It cannot become ears unless it is a living creature with an upper-end field as developed as humans. Kumho is going to take the expedition of the tiger with ears and use it as his own.”
Ma Dong-pil could not understand.
“Gwi means a ghost… … .”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“Actually, I don’t know for sure. I didn’t have anything else to say, so that’s what I said. What is certain is that Kumho is killing the tiger not just for fun, but for himself.”
“But what does fraud mean? You said you were going on an expedition, but what about fraud?”
“Look over there.”
The place Xi Liang pointed out was around the land where Keum Ho lay face down.
Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.
“Is there any problem there?”
“You ignorant bastard. Take a good look, man.”
“I’m fine… … uh?”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.
After looking around Keumho for a while, he looked around the land he was standing on again.
“Does the grass where Kumho is located look bigger and tougher than here?”
“Even the flower buds have bloomed.”
“Uh, how?!”
“I told you. Kum-ho takes an expedition that is colored by ears. However, expeditions are only when you are alive, and when you die, you slowly become stained with morale and disappear. you know that?”
“Yes.”
“Kumho only takes the core of fraud and spreads the remaining impurities to nature. It accelerates the cycle, so to speak.”
“Acceleration?”
“When living things die, they become manure and make the land fertile. Kumho accelerates the pace of change in the middle. That’s why the body of the tiger becomes that shape.”
Ma Dong-pil turned his gaze to the corpse of the beom.
Perseok!
Like a withered tree breaking, the tiger’s head fell off. Little blood came from his shattered neck.
Ma Dong-pil looked at Geum-ho with awe-inspiring eyes.
“It’s a really great spiritual creature.”
“It’s great, but nothing too surprising.”
“yes?”
“Look at my innocence. Isn’t Muae-gong’s purification effect to remove turbidity in the air?”
“ah! The existence of Kumho is the same as Muae-gong.”
“To put it simply, it is something like that.”
Xu Liang rested his back against the tree.
“Anyway, catch the tiger that caused Hwang-hwan, and it’s good for the land. Kumho is doing a good job.”
Dongpil smiled and nodded his head. But in the meantime, a question popped into my mind.
It catches tigers and is good for nature.
‘Then what about Kumho?’
What value does the existence of Kumho have to us and to the world?
Is it safe or is it dangerous?
“There is only one day left. Get some rest, and let’s leave in half a day.”
“All right. ah! There is one last thing I would like to ask you.”
“Baby, I have a lot of questions. What?”
“Why are you on this road? I feel like I’m going back a bit… … .”
“Oh, is that?”
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
“In case you didn’t know, I’m retracing my retreat.”
“Retreat?”
“huh. It’s about being prepared for an emergency. Shouldn’t a fight break out in Jeoksaga? I’m going back to check if there is any room for variables on this retreat.”
Take your time, but prepare thoroughly.
Ma Dong-pil was once again impressed by Seo-ryang’s meticulousness.
“If you know, you can rest now too. I’m a little sleepy.”
“Ah yes! Have a good night’s sleep.”
* * *
Lee In-il-soo left half a day later.
It was around the time they had been running non-stop for an hour.
“Hey!”
In the distance, I saw a woman covered in blood running.
The sage’s eyes widened. Ma Dong-pil was the same.
“… … robber year?”
Things were going in a direction they hadn’t expected.
