Chapter 356. depth of faith (1)
Upon seeing the remittance bag returned to the castle, Hwang Gon was convinced that something big had happened.
“Lord Seong, did the meeting with the lord end well?”
The remittance bag did not answer.
I didn’t even sit in Taesa’s chair like I usually do. Inside the Daejeon, I was just sitting with my chin resting in front of a modest conference table.
A hint of uneasiness appeared on Hwang Gon’s face.
“Lord?”
“Who are the smartest people in nature?”
It was an unexpected question, but Hwang Gon answered with sincerity.
“I can pick Bicheon Dragon Sword and Cheonungdan. Due to the nature of the two units, the faster one is the Cheonungdan, but if you assume armed forces, the Bicheonyonggeomdae is more usable.”
“Send the Bichon Dragon Sword Corps to Shandong right now. You’ll probably get a call soon from the hemjeondanju or gokcheonsak.”
“My lord.”
“Please contact Musang, who went to fight the Demonic Cult, as payment. Stop chasing them.”
“Stop, lord?!”
Hwang Gon asked in bewilderment.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“The Demonic Cult has two troops. Excluding those who are currently aiming for the Hoshitamtam original forces in the southeastern part of Central Plains, there are other Demonic Cult troops in Shandong.”
“yes?!”
“Spread rumors to those in the southeast. The iron-blooded castle is dispatching a large-scale force to capture the minor master. If you say that you are sending even the greetings of a high school senior, they will never fall behind their true nature.”
In front of the pouring information and sudden orders, even the emperor could not help but panic.
“My lord, what the hell happened?”
The remittance bag sighed softly.
“We decided to bury Sogyo in Seo.”
“yes? Now?”
“Yes.”
“Did you make a deal with the Uicheon Lord?”
Song Seong-baek told him about the conversation with Dam Sa-yeong in detail.
Huang Gon’s face turned pale.
“A temporary alliance… … .”
“Yes.”
“… … .”
“I couldn’t help it. Possible or not, the old man was really about to upset the midfield. I’m sure he didn’t cheat on me.”
It was a conversation between the great servants. If you tell a lie in such a place, it can come back as a great disaster later.
Hwang Gon, who was silently looking at the remittance bag, said with a sigh.
“We will also contact the Shandong, Hebuk, and Hanam branches. No, I will have to contact all the Sapas in those three provinces.”
Song Baek raised his head and looked at Hwang Gon.
Hwang Gon lowered his head.
“I’m still confused, but now that Lord Seong has joined hands with the Uicheon Lord, shouldn’t we defeat our common enemy as soon as possible? In order to do that, the Bicheon Dragon Sword Belt, Musang, and Suradan are not enough.”
“Do you think it is not enough?”
“yes. In a head-to-head match, sending one gratuitous may suffice, but if they are determined and try to escape, it may not be enough. If the words of the leader are true, there must be quite strong people next to Sogyo right now.”
Song Seong-baek looked at Hwang Gon with mixed eyes.
Hwang Gon must have many things to say. It will be confusing too.
However, Huang Gon did not complain. This is probably because he thinks that now is not the time to complain, but the time to move as quickly as possible for the purpose.
‘Thank you.’
The reason why Song Seong-baek favored Hwang Gon was because of this personality besides his outstanding head. He was a soldier who knew what was important and what came first.
“If so, for now, we will reorganize the castle’s forces with an emphasis on annihilating the Demonic Sect’s minor master and his cronies.”
“I will.”
Hwang Gon hurried to Daejeon.
The remittance bag buried its back in the chair.
“Xiao Qiao, I believe you will understand.”
* * *
Taktak.
The sound of a burning bonfire rang in my ears.
The party sat in front of a campfire without even washing properly. Even Gorumazon had just arrived, so he couldn’t even rest for a moment.
But none of the group complained.
“… … .”
Xu Liang’s eyes looking at the bonfire were filled with unknown tiredness and pulpit at the same time.
Ma Dong-pil, seeing those eyes, thought.
‘It’s so clear.’
I had a sudden thought.
In the meantime, the Sogyo Master has shown various aspects. He showed an infinitely fearful and calm appearance in front of the enemy, a pleasant yet friendly appearance to my people, and a formal and serious appearance to the leaders of the Protestant Church.
For Ma Dong-pil, who has lived almost his whole life in Shinkyo and has become accustomed to the physiology of Shinkyo and the cold appearance of its leaders, such an appearance of Seoryang was very fresh.
‘Certainly, the young master was different.’
Rigid laws, a certain degree of coldness, and thorough top-down are essential to an organization.
The world often cries out for a soft atmosphere and close relationships between members, but the actual organization did not work that way. In this turbulent world where a single mistake kills a person, an infinitely tender relationship will inevitably cause problems.
In addition, the Heavenly Demon Goddess was a religious group that worshiped the 6th Heavenly Demon King, Pasun. As time went on, the non-professional tendency became stronger, but the root still means a group that worships God.
Therefore, the system of Protestantism was inevitably harsh, and the superiors and subordinates and the religious law were also inevitably strict. that was religion
‘However, it seemed as if the young master could not adapt to the system of Protestantism.’

It’s a disrespectful thought, but it certainly was at first.
To be precise, that’s how Seo Liang was when Ma Dong-pil first saw him. Until then, didn’t the Three Gongja, Xu Liang, show vicious and heinous behavior enough to be called a tyrant in school? However, Seo Liang when Ma Dong-pil first served him was a completely different person from the rumors.
‘Little Master.’
Looking at Seo Ryang’s clear eyes that contained the flickering lights, Ma Dong-pil asked himself inwardly.
‘What secret does the young master keep?’
It is disloyal to try to find out the true intentions of the attendant.
However, Ma Dong-pil has also changed a lot since he has been with Xu Liang. I still know it’s disloyal, but sometimes I have to raise my suspicions.
At least now was the time to do so.
“Are you resting in shifts?”
Ma Dong-pil replied.
“yes. It is not yet at a safe stage, so we are standing in three shifts.”
“Good.”
This was a place quite far from the abandoned house. The Jinma crew didn’t let them follow, so there were only five of them here.
Gorumazon asked cautiously.
“Little Master.”
“… … .”
“What you’re saying is… … .”
A gust of wind blew and shook the campfire.
Xu Liang’s eyes as he gazed at the bonfire seemed to shake as well.
“In the world, that is. Sometimes things that are unimaginable to human common sense happen.”
It was a random word. However, the group was nervous.
Xi Liang had no way of turning back his words. He is showing a different side than usual. It was the reason why the group was nervous.
“Even if you go to any closed town right now, that’s the case. Because they have lived among themselves all their lives, they have no common knowledge about the Murim people. There is no need to go to Mazon or me, and even with martial arts like Aenghwa, I will praise you for the second coming of the Heavenly God.”
It was out of the blue, but it was understandable enough.
Breaking rocks with his bare hands, he runs through several distances at a single step. It emits fire and frost from its hands, and can easily lift objects that cannot be held with ten hands.
In the eyes of the unseen and unlearned, it will be like the return of a celestial being.
“But on the other hand, some of the villagers might call the cherry tree a devil.”
Yeo Sang-rin opened her mouth.
“Are you saying that people have different opinions and evaluations about things that are absurd?”
Seo Liang smiled.
As expected, Yeo Sang-rin is smart.
“that’s right. And I assure you, there are still many reasons in the world that we don’t know about. In front of that, we have no choice but to judge with our own thoughts and common sense.”
Yeo Sang-rin nodded.
“That’s right.”
“What I am about to say is similar to that.”
“yes?”
“I think it’s a bit of a metaphor, but the essence is the same. Whether to agonize over the miracle or the person who performed or received the miracle is up to each person.”
A hint of uneasiness crept across Aenghwa’s face.
She knew instinctively. That the young master was trying to tell me a big secret.
And that the secret could shake this relationship now.
“excuse me… … .”
“hmm?”
Aenghwa hesitated. It’s okay because I’ve always seen Xu Liang or Ma Dong-pil, but now Mazon, an adult of the Protestant religion, is also in the seat. It was not easy for her to open her mouth carelessly.
Seo Liang’s expression softened.
“are you okay. say it.”
Aenghwa summoned courage and said.
“If it’s hard… … I don’t think you can do that.”
A small smile appeared on the sage’s face.
Actually he was hesitating. He made up his mind, but he didn’t know what impact his words would have on them.
So far, there have been many things that I pushed forward even if I couldn’t guarantee the result, but it wasn’t really easy as much as this part.
“no. Okay.”
It wasn’t easy, but after hearing Aenghwa’s words, he let go of his hesitation.
I was worried a lot. And he made a decision, and even called people together.
There is no need to hesitate any longer.
“Tell me directly.”
“… … .”
“I’m not Xu Liang.”
“… … ?”
The group rolled their eyes.
Gorumazon asked cautiously.
“Schoolmaster. What do you mean by that?”
The smile on her face became more and more serious.
The faces of the people who were full of doubts gradually hardened.
“I am not Xu Liang, the Three Princes of the Protestant Church. To be precise, he’s not the Three Gongs of the past.”
“yes?”
“Three Gongja Xiliang is dead.”
“… … ?”
“Of course I am not sure. Was it because he died, or did I simply take his body?”
widely! Tadadak!
The shaking of the campfire intensified.
The group didn’t say anything.
Xi Liang did not see the party. He only watched the bonfire shaking more and more strongly.
“Two years ago, I died. I died when I was not in the West. But for some reason, even though he was obviously dead, his eyes were opened. I woke up in a place I had never been to, in the body of a terrifying group that I had only heard about in rumors.”
“… … Little schoolmaster?”
“Yes, I am dead, but I am not dead. Whether it was a whim of Heaven or the judge of Myeongbu did something wrong, I, who should have died, woke up again as the body of the Three Gongs of the Heavenly Demons Cult, who were coiled in the southern land of Central Plains.”
Seo Liang raised his head.
The facial expressions and eyes of the party looking at him were so grotesque that it is difficult to describe them in writing.
“Now I am Seoryang. But I’m not really Xu Liang either.”
“Ah, little schoolmaster.”
Xi Liang saw Yeo Sang-lin.
Yeo Sang-rin said with a smile.
“If you talk about it with such weight, it sounds like it’s real. Jokes work only when they give the atmosphere of being a joke… … .”
“No kidding.”
“… … .”
“Then am I crazy? No, it’s not like that. I’m not crazy. I can’t go crazy As Majon-nim knows, a person with a mental disorder cannot realize the ultimate. Even if you realize it with a chance of 1 in 10 million, you will come to your senses right away. Because that’s the harmony scene.”
Yeo Sang-rin’s cheeks trembled.
“Now, is that statement true?”
“Yes.”
“You mean you’re not kidding?”
“Of course.”
“Then, then, what is the identity of the young schoolmaster?”
She said with a bittersweet face and a voice that felt somewhat relieved.
“The best killer in the world, the lord of assassination.”
“… … ?!”
“As a murderer, he was the first to rise to the ranks of a teenage master, the strongest assassin of the time, and the most heinous sword that the Uicheon lord handled. Salwang Cheon Ha-jin is me.”
