Episode 92. The start of Pasunje was splendid (1)
Pasunje (波旬祭).
It refers to a sacrifice to Mara (魔羅), the only deity of the Heavenly Demon Religion and the master of the sixth heaven in the realm of desire.
In the past, it is said that human sacrifices were actually made to Pasun. It was from then that the Cheonma Shinkyo was called the Demonic Cult and gained notoriety.
However, the present Pasunje was different.
It was because there were doctrines and scriptures, but they did not know that the Cheonma Shinkyo was also the way of the world.
In addition, since there have been many outside recruits for hundreds of years, they have naturally accepted the customs and common sense of the Jungwon.
In the end, the current Pasunje was a sacrifice to the gods and at the same time a festival of the Mado Murim.
They made friends with people they hadn’t met before, and invited a traveling theater company to watch a performance while drinking delicious food and drinks.
At this level, the ancestral rite is only in name, and should be regarded as just a banquet or banquet.
In fact, there were many people who started a family with someone they met at Pasunje, and it was not uncommon for them to reunite with blood relatives who had been separated when they were young.
‘Hmm, I can easily remember.’
When I heard about Pasunje from Ma Dong-pil in the past.
At that time, Xiliang was able to throw away many of his prejudices about the Heavenly Demon Goddess. If you listen to the story, it was no different from any other festival in Jungwon.
but!
“You want help? What about me?”
“exactly.”
“I don’t know why you’re asking for help, but it’s unexpected. As far as I can remember, we weren’t laughing and chatting or cooperating with each other.”
“How is it between us?”
“huh?”
“Even though there were conflicts of our own, it was only from the difference of each person’s position, and I think there is no such thing as a trough of emotion.”
How are you?
“There is no emotional goal. Isn’t that not embarrassing?”
“You are not wrong.”
Are you cool?
“To be honest, I have nothing to say.”
Gogu nodded.
“My thoughts are the same as before. The Three Gongja are dangerous enough.”
“It will be dangerous for you.”
“At the same time, I am thinking about this. A double-edged sword is dangerous anyway. If I handle it wrong, I’ll cut myself, but if I hold it and swing it anyway, I’ll cut the enemy.”
Seo Liang frowned.
“Would you like to grab hold of me and swing me?”
“I don’t mean that. I just thought that in the event of a common enemy, we might be able to get help.”
“You speak well. After all, don’t you think it’s a good hand to use?”
“Thoughts are free. I only convey my thoughts and will in words, and the interpretation is up to the three Gongja.”
“Okay, what do you mean by common enemy? Before that, why do you want my help? What else do I need help with?”
I poured in three questions at once, but as a result, it is one content.
Gogu glanced at Ma Dongpil.
Ma Dong-pil was still flying. His calm expression was frowned upon, perhaps because he was extremely focused.
“Before I answer, I will ask. What do the Three Gongs really want?”
freedom!
Seo Liang coughed for a moment. Because the words in my heart almost came out without me knowing.
This bastard, it seems that his interrogation skills haven’t gone anywhere. You mean you didn’t become the head of the Criminal Law Party for nothing?
“What do the heirs want? It’s the next presidential power.”
“Are you sure the Three Princes want that too?”
“why? Do you think no?”
He answers in a sullen manner, but his slightly averted eyes look awkward to anyone.
Gogu, who was staring at Seo Liang, nodded.
“No matter what, it would be good in many ways for the Three Gongja to win the battle for succession.”
“So what?”
“All I want is to put one of the heirs in prison at the Criminal Court.”
“… … ?”
I was genuinely surprised this time.
Seo Liang asked with a serious face.
“I’m serious?”
“Of course.”
“No, why the hell?”
“Of course, I have no intention of touching the current seven or six. Until you commit a serious crime, such as committing treason or interfering with the internal affairs of the Criminal Court.”
I guess so.
“Were there other heirs besides the remaining six?”
“Yes. To be precise, the one designated as the successor will arrive at the main school in time for the Pasunje.”
“Who is that?”
Gogu’s eyes flashed with an evil light.
“He’s the eldest son of a demonic sword family.”
If it was a magic sword family, it was one of the seven sword families, and it was a family representing the seven families.
A family that can be said to be the best in the Mado Murim, at least when it comes to swords.
As for how great the magic swordsman was, even masters who had mastered the orthodox magic arts of the Protestant religion would sometimes go there to take sword lessons.
‘It must be about the position of the Namgung family of the political faction.’

Seo Liang nodded inwardly, scratching his head.
“The eldest son of the magic sword family is coming in as one of the successor candidates? Why didn’t I hear that?”
“It is normal not to know. As long as you don’t go around like a sailor who was smashed by the hands of the three gongs.”
You talk pretty cute. It’s to the point where I want to tell it directly to Hong Wi-moon, who is stern.
“Why do you want to catch him? Did you do anything wrong?”
“exactly.”
“What’s wrong?”
“If the Three Princes accept my offer, I will tell you then.”
“I’m sick and tired. Wouldn’t he be moved to know what crime he committed or not?”
“I came to the Three Gongs first, excluding the other successors. But if the Three Princes decline this offer, he will go to another successor.”
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes.
“Then can we go?”
“… … .”
“why? Are there any problems?”
“You mean nothing?”
“Why should I be upset? If I don’t want to be a spirit, I’ll have to ask another successor, right? Rather, you should be worried about the soles of your feet, which you have to work on.”
Gogu’s eyebrows twitched.
‘He is someone I don’t know.’
When we had a conversation inside the Criminal Court, he thought. The three gongs are very clever people.
But what is this look like now? I couldn’t tell if it was stupid or indifferent.
“Of course, even if you help with this, the Criminal Law Party will handle the matter fairly and safely as before.”
“A horn.”
“But I, as an individual, will owe some debt to someone who helped me with this.”
“aha? So don’t miss this golden opportunity?”
“You seem to be interpreting it in a rather smirking way, but so to speak.”
Seo Liang nodded.
“Not a very attractive proposition.”
He treats the opportunity to get into debt to the head of the Criminal Court as inferior to stones rolling on the side of the road. Gogu was inwardly astonished.
“You don’t explain why, and you don’t even bring the proper trading items, so you ask for help? You are laughing.”
“… … .”
“Haggle elsewhere. I am not interested.”
Seo Liang turned around.
I’m not pretending, I’m serious. Gogu read Xi Liang’s annoyance in that determined action.
Gogu sighed as he stared at Seo Liang’s back.
“He is a criminal.”
“Nothing.”
“You raped and murdered seven members of our school, and laid the blame on a stern devil.”
For an instant, Xu Liang’s feet stopped.
Gogu’s words continued slowly.
“In other words, the parish made a big mistake. In the end, the felon survived and is still living in shame, and the demon who gave her soul to her religion unjustly became the dew at her execution site.”
“… … .”
“That demon prayed to the priest even until the moment he died. His heart still aches when he thinks of the scene.”
I could feel Gogu’s sincerity. Regardless of what kind of personality he was or what kind of personality he was, he seemed to have a certain sense of guilt as the head of the criminal law.
“I don’t want to let others know about the private affairs of the parish. because it’s embarrassing But I’ll have to catch him, even if I’m ashamed.
We have to catch him and bring him to the bereaved family of the demon who died unjustly.”
“… … .”
“That is all I want.”
“and?”
“… … I don’t know what you mean.”
“Is that the end?”
“… … ?”
“Give me something tangible, not a dreamy transaction that promises to pay off a debt. Then move on.”
Gogu smiled coldly.
“I guess you are the same after all.”
“I don’t know what the similarities are, but I don’t think there’s any reason why they should be different. You were the one who suggested helping in the first place.”
“… … I made a mistake. That’s right, I’m also more comfortable with a transaction than a request.”
“So, what about trading items?”
“If you accept the offer, please present the item you want from the accepting party.”
“That’s good.”
Seo Liang turned around.
Gogu’s body, which was glaring at him, flinched momentarily.
“The trading item I want is the dismissal of several people.”
“… … .”
“why? don’t you like it?”
“Am I among those few?”
“Are you afraid?”
“It is impossible before fear. It’s not that I don’t want to, but if I step down, the Criminal Law Party’s… … .”
“don’t worry. Because I don’t want you to step down.”
“if?”
“The party members who conducted the investigation at the time. Fire all the party members.”
“… … .”
“I want to tell everyone to pull out their heads, but I don’t want to put human lives on the list of trade items.
I think it will be enough to make a picture pretty enough to be a piece of paper.”
Gogu’s eyes deepened.
‘what?’
Are you serious? Are you really going to do this deal that will only cost you money?
Xu Liang snorted.
“no? Rather, wouldn’t it be good for you if you get rid of them? A more beautiful criminal law by throwing away the incompetent ones and recruiting a motivated newcomer… … .”
“I already fired them all.”
“… … ?”
“There is a degree to mistakes. I am stricter with the parishioners than with the devils in the school.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Uh heh heh! Pretending to be cool is pretty hard.”
“It was pretty cool. I knew it was sincere.”
“Sibal, it would be embarrassing to hear such things from you.”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“Okay, debt or whatever, let me help you with this.”
“Thank you.”
“Okay, so how are you going to catch him?”
“I don’t know.”
“… … ?”
“… … .”
“Did I just hear wrong? You don’t know?”
“exactly.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“That’s why I came to the Three Gongja first.
Even in front of the Criminal Court, I thought there would be a way out somehow if it was a trick that deftly circumvented the distribution and expectations of the three gangsters.”
Seo Liang sighed deeply.
“What if you come to me with a question that has no answer? debt? Just live comfortably in the world, huh?”
“Is there any other way?”
Shiliang screamed loudly.
“Is there!”
“… … .”
“… … Did you curse me for being incompetent right now?”
“no.”
“Look at the trembling voice.”
“Don’t make people feel unfair because of your worthless qualifications.”
“Patience.”
After grumbling to himself for a while, Xu Liang said.
“Is there a code of criminal law written on it?”
“exactly.”
“Bring me one that looks nice.”
“Why… … ?”
“I won’t use it as a pot stand, so give it to me. You don’t need to know anything about criminal law to decide whether to join him or not.”
“… … Got it. Is there anything else you need?”
“If you need me, tell me then. When is the Pasun Festival?”
“Five days later.”
“It’s tight. okay.”
“Manpower? Don’t you need someone?”
“that’s enough.”
“You mean you can do it alone?”
“alone? Am I not alone?”
“hmm?”
It was then.
Pussss.
Ma Dong-pil slowly wakes up with a white haze.
All of a sudden, only scabs remained on the icons engraved all over her body. A clear expression of joy appeared on his face as he took a deep breath.
Gogu’s eyes twitched. The demonic spirit emanating from Ma Dong-pil was beyond imagination.
“how is it?”
He looked back at Seoryang.
Seo Liang blinked one eye.
“This is the appearance of the best talent that won’t change even if you give 100 party members.”
