Episode 237. Iron Blood (1)
The night sky in a scenic spot is bound to be good anywhere, but the sky looking up from Sipmandaesan Mountain was especially tasteful.
Lee Cheon-sang, who always enjoyed drinking in Daejeon, Huwonjeongja, or Panmajeong, climbed onto the roof of the Demon Shrine after a long time.
It was not intentional, but it was a place that was not easily seen by the escort warriors.
His face was full of drowsiness as he sat leaning against the statue of a lion with his right leg stretched out.
“Come up.”
“yes.”
Squeak.
Mudam appeared next to him.
“Would you like to have a drink together?”
“Glory comes.”
Mudam knelt beside Lee Cheon-sang and sat down.
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“Sit comfortably.”
“… … yes.”
As if he had never done such a posture in his life, Mudam looked very awkward sitting cross-legged.
“How is Ho Court these days?”
“Nothing wrong. There is no noise as the workmanship is excellent. The ability of the team members is also steadily increasing.”
“Did you say Gunseong Lee?”
“That’s right.”
“I’ve heard a lot of people say that I am a good person. Do you intend to make him your successor?”
“I think it’s still premature, but I don’t think it’s enough to leave behind.”
“When you make up your mind, bring it.”
“yes.”
“Have a drink.”
The two clinked glasses and emptied them coolly.
At that time, Lee Cheon-sang spat out a cough.
Mudam’s eyes widened.
“Sir, teacher!”
“Never mind.”
“… … By any chance, do you have any uncomfortable places?”
“You want to get sick, but your body rejects it. You won’t have to suffer from a disease demon for the rest of your life.”
It will. Mudam’s body, which has reached its peak right now, can be said to be an impregnable fortress. Needless to say, the body of Lee Cheon-sang, who went far ahead of such a martial art.
After thinking for a moment, Mudam cautiously spat out a word.
“little… … You look exhausted.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“For the first time since completing this body, I poured all my energy into it. No, I can’t get tired.”
“Is it because of the young schoolmaster?”
Lee Cheon-sang neither affirmed nor denied.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was still looking up at the sky, opened his mouth.
“The Great Law.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Do you know how I became a religious leader?”
“I know a little bit.”
“I couldn’t have seen it myself. Because you were very young then.”
“That’s right.”
“I won this position by struggle. The struggle then was different in many ways from the struggle of my disciples now.
It was much harsher, and it was terribly cruel. It’s normal to deceive others, and if necessary, I’ve taken my family hostage and even started a civil war.”
“… … I heard that it was the most brutal fight in the history of the school.”
“At least, Liang Yi committed a shock close to the fight at that time. There were many times when the Protestantism almost fell apart. It was literally a fight itself.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“It was also a fight that the previous leader couldn’t control. He didn’t have that much power in him.
The reason is that the level of some candidates, including myself, has already surpassed that of the religious leader.”
Although it was not known to the outside world, it could be said that the Cheonma Shinkyo at that time was the most turbulent period in history.
Due to the sudden death of the former leader, the former leader, who showed off his decent abilities, succeeded, but there was a limit to the martial arts of the former leader.
The problem was mentality rather than martial arts. The previous leader was a leader who did not receive the title of the Heavenly Demon, and committed tyranny in his lack of qualifications.
The tyranny was so severe that the demons, who believed in and followed the teachings of the gods, complained as a group.
The leaders were plagued by corruption, and demons who were tired of the tyranny even left the Protestant Church.
If the Hwanhuiwon had not been able to hold the center, the Heavenly Demon Church would have been cut in half.
At that time, it was the candidates including Lee Chun-sang.
“The candidates, including me, were not disciples of the religious leader.”
Mudam’s eyes fluttered. Because it was the first time he had heard of it.
“There were children of top leaders, and there were also children of ordinary devils working in the outer castle. But it wasn’t status that mattered to us.
it was the future For the future of our school, it was important what we, who will lead the next generation, must do.”
“… … .”
“That’s how thirteen young demons with outstanding military talents and upright minds gathered.
They secretly created an organization called the Shinmahoe (神魔會), and stole all kinds of martial arts and elixirs by taking advantage of Shingoism, which became a hotbed of corruption.”
“I see.”

“Five years later, we made a decision. Let’s fight each other to the death.”
“… … !”
“No one acknowledged us as successor candidates, but we moved anyway.
It was only when half of them died in the mad fight that started on the basis of friendship that we got the support of the disciples.”
There was a hint of bitterness in Lee Cheon-sang’s smile.
“It was a stage from hell. I have to prove my ability by killing my comrades who have been through difficult times together.”
“… … .”
“That’s why they didn’t resent the other even at the moment of their death. Because I believed that anyone who was superior to me would surely be able to correct Protestantism.
Because I didn’t hate my opponent, I was able to fight even more fiercely.”
Mudam’s eyes gleamed with emotion.
He was listening to the secret affairs of the two heavens that no one had heard.
He was grateful that he had told the story to himself, and was moved by the actions of his seniors who risked their lives to devote themselves to Shingo.
“Surprisingly, the fight isn’t over yet.”
“yes?”
“To be exact, I’m trying to see the end after Liang becomes a minor teacher.”
“What is that… … .”
“Aren’t you curious about why I reduced the school’s external activities 30 years ago?”
The magic of the moonlight seemed to have an effect on the unsalted Demon God. Lee Cheon-sang was determined and seemed to be trying to reveal his true intentions.
Mudam swallowed his saliva.
He instinctively felt it. That now, Cheon-sang Lee is trying to tell a part of a huge plan that no one has been told.
“I wonder.”
“You might be wondering. But you, Mazon, and everyone else is seeing the results.”
“… … yes?”
“Standing water is bound to rot.”
What does this mean?
Lee Cheon-sang smiled. His smile, shining white in the pale moonlight, was subtly eerie.
“The presence of an invisible enemy is like a thorn in the neck. But if the condition persists, it will no longer bother you.
Like a volcano at rest. Rather, those who have not lived through that generation are more curious than afraid of the presence of enemies.”
“… … !”
“Isn’t it the perfect time to take control of a world that has collapsed from within?”
Mudam’s face turned pale.
“You can’t say that the fight isn’t over… … ?!”
“Yes.”
Lee Cheon-sang emptied his glass.
His face no longer looked tired.
“One of the heirs was left staggering. Either publicly or privately.”

“Let’s see.”
Seo Liang lifted up a pair of translucent tops. The elasticity seemed great.
“This is called Yeonggangboui. I don’t know what material it’s made of, but it’s said that it won’t scratch even if it’s hit by a master swordsman.
It is a piece of heavenly high school. You can wear this just above your inner thighs.”
“… … .”
“This is called blood poisoning, but in some ways he is more precious than Yeonggangboui.
Although it is impossible to inflict intangible poison, it is a device that prevents any abnormalities from occurring on the body even when exposed to a moderate amount of extreme poison.”
“… … .”
“The requirement is Cheonjam Blood Poor. He said he was fine even after being bombarded by cannon fire. It is said that it disperses the shock to some extent… … .”
“Little Master.”
“huh?”
Seeing Yeo Sang-rin’s narrowed eyes, Seo-ryang coughed involuntarily.
“Would you feel comfortable if I did all the work and took care of these things belatedly?”
“… … any?”
“Little Master!”
I feel like my ears are about to fall out at the sound of my voice.
“You should have discussed it beforehand! What are you going to do if you blow up your business and come late and give a gift barrage?”
“Are you not going?”
“That’s not the problem!”
“Curham.”
Said, rubbing his ears.
“sorry. I was so excited that I did it without even realizing it.”
“Ugh.”
“I will pay off this debt. Look at me just once. huh?”
Yeo Sang-rin grumbled.
“What are you looking at? Anyway, I’m here to help the young master.”
“Chuck.”
“Don’t laugh.”
“huh.”
“Anyway, people around me get tired of dealing with things this way.”
“It sucks.”
“You have to tell me in advance. Do you understand?”
“I get it.”
It was clear that Yeo Sang-rin was a person who had no regrets. After she grumbled a few times, she completely forgot about Xi Liang’s ignorance.
“So who’s going with you?”
“Me and you and Dongpil?”
“Is that the end?”
“Because there’s nothing good about attracting attention.”
“I will go with Aenghwa.”
“no. Dangerous.”
“Stop talking nonsense and take me away. The lady of the ice palace came out to look around Jungwon, but her lady-in-waiting came out without her?
Taking only two male escorts with you? Does that make sense?”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“I didn’t think of that. Hey, can I still omit the cherry blossoms? I mean, it’s dangerous if you’re picky. You don’t have to suffer until the cherry blossoms.”
“You take great care of yourself as a lady-in-waiting.”
“of course.”
“Currently, is there a lady-in-waiting who is as smart and smart as Aenghwa?”
Yeo Sang-rin was right. In front of Seo Liang, he only showed an infinitely weak side, but Aeng-hwa’s inner strength was formidable.
The current Aenghwa, who has steadily honed the inner spirit method given by Xu Liang, possessed great inner strength to be counted as one of the handmaidens belonging to the Hwanhuiwon.
“It went better. Let’s take this opportunity to practice martial arts in earnest.”
Xi Liang sighed softly.
He didn’t bother responding to Yeo Sang-rin’s words. Even when he thought about it, there was no one more suitable than Aenghwa.
Since we’ve been together for so long, even if an emergency breaks out, our hands and feet will fit together.
“I get it. do that.”
“When are you leaving?”
“After an hour.”
“It’s tight. All right, I’ll prepare.”
Seo Liang scratched his head as he saw Yeo Sang-rin walking into the room.
“Am I in a bit of a hurry?”
Ma Dong-pil, who was standing next to him, nodded.
“You were in a bit of a hurry.”
“Well, there is no point in delaying the time just because we prepared this and that anyway. It’s better to move right away if you’ve made up your mind.”
It didn’t sound like words. Prudence is essential when heading to enemy territory. There is nothing good about moving quickly.
However, Seo Liang also had an idea.
‘Anyway, there are many shelters nearby.’
Unlike the south of the Yangtze River, there are many safe houses in the north. Among them, more than half of the safe houses he made himself.
There will be no problem in escaping in case of emergency. Of course, I have no intention of running away unless it’s a dire situation.
“Little Master.”
“hmm?”
“Somehow, you look happy.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“The moment has come when all the hard work has paid off. I can’t help but rejoice.”
No matter what, the opponent is righteous. Before being happy, you should be nervous first, but I don’t see any sign of that.
“Dongpil.”
“Yes, Little Teacher.”
“Let’s run properly.”
He couldn’t help but laugh at the owner’s gaze, which seemed somewhat urgent and quite excited, but did not forget his duty.
“Please leave it to me.
after one try.
A large wagon drove out of the gates of Protestantism.
