Episode 33 – 13. Geumbongnam (3)2017.01.14.
“hmm… … .”
I woke up with a light moan.
The moon, the stars, and the blue sky.
First of all, it is a landscape full of eyes.
“Ugh.”
When I tried to get up, the bones in my whole body felt as if they had been shattered.
A frowning impression.
After taking a deep breath, I managed to raise only my upper body.
Thick trees, chilly but clear air.
There was no doubt that it was in the middle of the mountain.
‘Is it Mt. Jongnam?’
As I tilted my head, I heard an old voice behind me.
“Are you awake now?”
I wanted to turn my head, but it was difficult because my body was so sore. Well, it was clear who the owner of the voice was, so there was no need to do that.
“Why are you hanging limp like an exhausted dog?”
An old man came and squatted next to me.
Even if you don’t look at the hateful way of speaking, he is a gold-bonded man.
“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”
cook.
“Turn off, turn off!”
Is it because I tickled?
Geumbongnam mercilessly stabs my thighs.
It was a simple action, but exhilarating pain spread all over my body.
“What are you doing! Ugh!”
I screamed out in tears, but my small muscles trembled and I felt my limbs twisting.
It felt as if someone had squeezed the muscles of the whole body like weaving laundry.
“Tsk tsk. Inseok-ah, there’s nothing more disrespectful than that if you kick your balls and smoke.”
Thumbs up! Let’s get it done once!
Even though Geumbongnam must have known what I was saying in my heart, he didn’t let go of his smirk. Then, suddenly, his fingers quickly ran through the air.
Tak tat tat tat tat.
At that moment, I felt the blood flow throughout my body being pressed in a certain order or order.
‘Gyeokgong blood!’
An extremely high-level point-and-point technique that strikes the air and pinpoints the target’s blood.
“Why are you so surprised? Are you saying that the old man seems to be greater than you expected?”
… … Ghost-like inspiration.
“However, the old lady was surprised to find that you were more vicious than I expected.”
What are you talking about? Who do you think is boring? Am I just a victim of a senile old man’s prank?
I stared at Geumbongnam with an absurd mind.
silence for a while.
Geumbongnam opened his mouth.
“But, you bastard, why did you keep walking so ignorantly even though you knew everything?”
“It was because I was ignorant.”
“Really?”
It feels like Geumbongnam’s invisible eyes are digging into my eyes sharply.
I didn’t avoid it though.
I haven’t done anything wrong, so is there any reason to avoid it? And anyway, if Geumbongnam had a bad heart, my neck would have already been hung on the castle gate.
I just try to flick my fingers. It was a bit uncomfortable, but I managed to move.
“I just wanted to see how far I could last.”
To be honest, it was because my eyes were blinded by the rapidly rising strength proficiency, but there was no need to say anything.
Geumbongnam put a twig into the fire and asked again.
“How hard did you train?”
I answered without hesitation.
“Well, to the extent that I won’t be betrayed by my efforts… … Would you understand if I said that?”
“Enough to not be betrayed by hard work.”
Geumbongnam’s groaning goosebumps deepened even more.
“That is a really funny word. Then when did you find out that the old woman was a Murim?”
“When I shed my soul in the Cheonjuhyeol (天柱穴, the blood vessel located at the top of the back of my neck).”
“… … !”
Geumbongnam’s eyes, which had been difficult to tell whether they were open or not, suddenly opened.
Surprised. Then, who is there who doesn’t know that the body is flowing? Even more so, if an old man up to the age of 120 handles Jingi, then all ten out of ten are Moorim people.
After that, when I cast Thousand Knuckles, I was truly convinced… … .

Now, more perfect evidence flickers over Geumbongnam’s head.
‘If you don’t know this even after seeing this, you’re an idiot.’
Lv. 1 [Geumbongnam]
120 years old.
Strength: 12
Stamina: 17
Agility: 9
Energy: 0 years
As we saw earlier, these numbers are all ‘fake’.
Geumbongnam must have hidden his presence voluntarily. The real ones are only the name and information that says ‘120 years old’.
Banbak Guijin (返撲歸眞).
When one’s gong power is extremely high, it is the highest level that one’s appearance becomes ordinary.
This inspiration named Geumbongnam must be a master who has reached this level.
Because you fooled [Three Jians] perfectly.
Geumbongnam muttered quietly as he tossed another piece of firewood into the campfire.
“Help. It doesn’t look like a very bad body. feeling energized… … .”
“… … ?”
Geumbongnam’s incomprehensible murmur.
I couldn’t hear all the behind the scenes, but ‘ability… … eminence… … .’ I heard two words for sure.
what ability? What is it that excels at?
It was time to ask that question.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r .
From my boat I roared through the mountains.
“Help. You must be hungry. Well, since I was lying down for two days, that’s understandable.”
Two days?
“… … What did you say just now!? I was in bed for two days?”
“More than two days to be exact.”
“… … !”
Immediately my eyes swept the lower right corner of my field of vision.
Blink.
It was dark, so I couldn’t see it well, but a vague string was rapidly flashing.
— 01:07:45
‘shit!’
[mission]
Take Geumbongnam to the destination of Mt. Jongnam (confirmed as Heaven and Earth). Time limit: 3 weeks from now (3 days)
Successful reward: Obtain martial arts [Heongsocheongun (橫掃千軍)]
Disadvantages in case of failure: Mission deletion and current abnormality 3 weeks (3 days)
Only half an hour left!?
[Mission] ends if it is half time.
It meant that not only the [mission], but also roughly the same amount of time left until the time to enter Yongbong City.
When I left the house, there were three days left until the start of Yongbong City.
Next to the blinking text, the text [New unconfirmed martial arts] was blinking, but I didn’t have time to check it right now.
I shouted while looking straight at Geumbongnam.
“Grandpa! Let’s leave quickly!”
“What nonsense are you talking about this midnight? Did you lose your mind because your belly skin stuck to your back? If it’s because of Yongbongsi, it won’t be late even if you start early in the morning.”
“no! You said you had to go to Cheonji, Cheonji, not Yongbong City?”
At my urgent words, Geumbongnam strangely toppled white rice.
“Isn’t it the old lady’s house? The house won’t run away if you go a little slower, so don’t worry too much.”
Worry about it!
“Oh, not that… … . Anyway, hurry up and get up.”
Muscles and joints, fussing about asking for a little more rest.
My stomach ached as if saying ‘Give me some food!’, but I had to hurry.
According to the map, it is roughly 20 li from here to Cheonji.
If I went by myself, I could arrive in less than one meal (enough time to eat a meal), but I have to go with this old man!
‘ah!’
He was a recluse, you old man!
I don’t know, but if it’s at least Geumbongnam, I’ll be able to perform light maneuvers almost like flying, so I might be able to arrive in no time… … huh?
Whirlpools -.
Papa papa papa pat!
Suddenly, a dot appeared in the distance cutting through the moonlight.
“… … !”
dot.
It was.
At first, it looked like a dot the size of a pea.
but… … .
Before I knew it, the dots became pictures and gradually took on a three-dimensional effect.
The process is so fast that it looks like a fetus has become an adult in an instant.
Shoo-!
A figure passing by as if passing in front of us.
“hmm? Why is the author here?”
author?
I couldn’t even see it properly, but it seems that I recognized who Geumbongnam was.
But now it didn’t matter.
“I’ll do it. Regardless of who you are as an author, come on… … !”
Pod!
A new type of Geumbongnam who suddenly disappeared as if it went off.
When I turned my head, it had already become a dot in the opposite direction and was running as if flying in pursuit of the disappeared.
beyond imagination.
I developed a light technique that was difficult even in my dreams, and both became distant.
But that’s not what’s important either!
“no! It’s not that way, you old man!”
The fact that the direction is away from Jongnamsan!
I followed the two with all my might.
how far did you follow?
In the end, I couldn’t see anything, whether it was a shadow or a dot.
The year that came to mind
The sunlight illuminates the flickering time limit as if suffering from tremor.
According to experience, the blinking speed increases as the remaining time decreases.
— 00:10:15
It’s time to chew like crazy.
“To rot… … .”
He slumped down on the spot.
Now, even if Geumbongnam returned, he could not go to heaven and earth in time. I don’t know if I can even teleport. Well, maybe it would be possible if Geumbongnam was alone.
The problem is that the purpose of the mission is, ‘Take me with you’.
The mission was to be completed only when I arrived together.
“There’s no way that’s possible.”
I lay down on the spot.
I’d rather give up, but… … .
There were still issues left.
[mission]
Take Geumbongnam to the destination of Mt. Jongnam. Time limit: 3 weeks from now (3 days)
Successful reward: Obtain martial arts [Heongsocheongun (橫掃千軍)]
Disadvantages in case of failure: Mission deletion and current abnormality 3 weeks (3 days)
If you had paid attention to the time limit earlier, the two lines above were no longer visible.
only the last line.
Disadvantages in case of failure: Mission deletion and current abnormality 3 weeks (3 days)
‘Abnormal current… … .’
I don’t know what it is, but now there is no way to avoid it.
Plus 3 days.
Of course, within these three days,
‘I’ve been caught in the middle of nowhere.’
The period of sealing was also included.
● ● ●
‘I don’t know what it is, but it’s not 0, right?’
Should I say I’m lucky?
When your Action Power reaches 0, you lose your sanity. In this case, you will not be able to perform Yongbongsi at all. Whatever the current anomaly was, it must be better than that.
Wouldn’t the effect of the expected current anomaly be one of status ailments? Its name is also a current ideal.
You can’t avoid it anyway, even if you can’t enjoy it, you can endure it.
Am I not the one who is good at enduring?
When I relaxed like that, the feeling of extreme hunger returned.
“We open the warehouse.”
[Warehouse] opened in two days.
‘Where’s the food bag?’
Food is essential on the journey.
My eyes scanned several squares before finally stopping at number 7. It was because there was a botjim full of food prepared in advance. But there are other than food bags,
“Niyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … .”
Juju, exhausted from starvation, lay on her face and cried.
Oh, I wasn’t the only one starving, this guy must have starved too.
Juju, who has become thin, rubs his head against my leg.
An overwhelming feeling of regret.
I bent down and brushed the boy’s body.
― According to the will of the owner, [Spiritual Object: Juju] is released from the inventory.
At that moment, the guy disappeared.
Ah, it was that moment when I realized that if I did the same thing when I put it in, I could take it out.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating.”
The sharp cry of a juju I heard for the first time.
‘what?’
Did a beast like a bear appear?
The moment I thought about it, I hurriedly grabbed the food bag.
Would you like to take [Bot Jim] out of the Inventory?
[Yes No]
Click.
I clicked ‘yes’ without hesitation.
Woo woo woo woo-.
The place became dark, and the surrounding scenery began to revive.
and,
“Oh, who is this? Aren’t you the giraffe of the volcano?”
The face of a completely unexpected person was included in the scenery.
A young white student who emits hazy smoke.
‘Buk-ri Gyeong-marriage?’
However, it was not only Gyeong-myeon in Buk-ri that appeared.
In the woods to the west, on the oak tree to the south, in the shade of the side stream.
It may be a blind spot for others, but my field of view was a little wider than others.
Lv. – [—]

Because I could see status windows popping up above people’s heads.
Translucent, swaying letters. Even at a rough count, there are well over twenty. The numbers on the status window were also quite high.
Not good.
I could guess what kind of people they were.
‘Why did the First Apostles appear in groups like that in the Jeongpa area?’
On such a day, Buk-ri Gyeong-hon, who had been watching quietly, blew out a long smoke.
“uh? did you figure it all out? How many more are there besides me? Whoa, isn’t that great? They are masters of the art of stealth, to the extent that it is difficult for me to find out, but to see through them.”
A characteristic decadent smile on his face.
“As expected, it’s a dragon chorang.”
… … With that guy’s yongcho.
It’s still going to be misunderstood and judged by myself. drug addict.
Anyway, why is he still hanging around here?
It is very unusual for a guy who is third in the succession of the first series of apostles to appear in Xi’an. How many months will he stay? Could it be that it would be difficult for him to save his life on the day he is discovered by the sect?
“Ah, why did a filthy bastard like me hang around in the front yard of a sacred sect like this all this time?”
… … crazy guy It’s starting again. Ask and answer by yourself.
“Because we haven’t achieved our intended goal yet.”
A small purpose?
“Did you not see the old man in black? That inspiration was what originally came here.”
Oh, what about him?
There was no way to check whether he was an old man or not because he disappeared with Geumbongnam so quickly, but he tells everything on his own.
Buk-Ri Gyeong-Hon, who was watching me, took another sip of his pipe and let it out.
“I see. Which way did you go?”
“… … .”
“Oh, this way?”
You’re really confused, man.
It’s obviously still, but you figure out some things stupidly and some things accurately?
The problem is that these are the last members of the first series of apostles.
They could harm me at any time.
Apparently noticing that too, Buk-ri Gyeong-hon chuckled, sweeping up his pale red bangs.
“don’t worry. Hasn’t the sun already risen in the middle of the sky? When the sun rises, evil like us is automatically eradicated. This is even more so in a sect’s holy ground.”
His lips curled towards the place where the First Apostles were hiding. It didn’t make any sound, but I could tell it was giving orders by telephony.
The presence and status windows disappeared as if they would soon disappear.
Predictably, they all followed the old man earlier.
“Then, before it becomes a nuisance, you should turn off this obsessive servant, too, right?”
Buk-ri Gyeong-hon, who had finished his work, walked over to me as if he were meeting a close friend.
One foot, two feet… … .
It got closer, but I didn’t back down or stay alert.
It’s like a fallen prince. Buk-Ri Gyeong-Hon exudes a unique boredom even in the way he walks. There wasn’t even the slightest amount of murder or speculation mixed in there.
He casually picked up a rice ball sticking out of my bag and put it in his mouth.
“I was hungry, and you wouldn’t kill me if I took one and ate it, right?”
“… … .”
I didn’t bother to answer.
I just glanced at him and took out a rice ball and shoved it into my mouth. I just forgot about it because of his nervousness, because the skin on his stomach was hurtling towards the skin on his back.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.” … .”
Is it animal instinct?
The juju growled lowly, wary of the North Ri Gyeong-marriage that had reached close range.
“Isn’t this really bittersweet? What the hell did I do, even these beasts show their teeth. Do I look dirty even to this little guy? Kuck.”
Buk-Ri Gyeong-Hon brushes his hair with his left hand while laughing quietly.
Instantly, an extremely hot energy emanated from the boy’s left arm. To the point where my skin tingles.
“Oh sorry. A black flame dragon lives on my left arm? So sometimes it’s like this. you understand It is not my will.”
And then he finally passed me by.
‘I don’t know what nonsense… … Yes, leave quickly.’
The moment I confirmed that he had passed, my eyes hurriedly swept the lower right corner.
— 00:00:10
Numbers flickering at high speed, as if in convulsions.
I headed towards the top of Mt. Jongnam and started running straight away.
……
— 00:00:03
— 00:00:02
— 00:00:01
However, the remaining time was very short.
I couldn’t even take a few steps, but the sound hitting my ear.
Tring-.
[Mission Failed]
You have failed your mission.
suffer a disadvantage.
For 3 days from now, your status will switch to current anomaly.
That moment.
Pachik, pachit, patsutsutsutsutsutsut!
A bluish electric shock that explodes around me!
“Kuu, kuaaaaaaagh!”
How would you feel if you were directly struck by lightning? Or, do you feel like tens of thousands of needles mercilessly stabbing and hacking your entire body and internal organs?
An indescribable pain ran through his body for an instant.
In an instant, the knee bends.
I barely knelt down, but a tremendous excruciating pain struck me.
The pain gradually eased, but it was still a great pain.
‘… … Was it like this? Current abnormality?’
Compared to when I first started, the pain had drastically decreased, but the tens of thousands of needles had reduced to hundreds.
Extreme pain was all one thing.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
That was when I gritted my teeth and straightened my knees.
Juju roared back and raised his fur.
food.
‘Did he come back?’
Despite the great pain, the wind leaks out of his nose. I slowly turned my head.
As expected, it was Buk-ri Gyeong-hon standing there.
There was a very different expression on his face than he had ever seen before. A bored, but firm face.
It was a completely different expression from what I expected.
“… … Were you also a member of the Five Spirits?”
Omaji body?
“Have you been enduring it all naked? You were a more ferocious bastard than me, weren’t you?”
Whoa-.
After blowing a long puff of smoke into the sky, he handed me his pipe.
“It is the price of rice. It was a delicious rice ball that couldn’t be mixed with this, but there won’t be anything like this right now.”
As soon as I received the pipe, Buk-ri Gyeong-hon immediately turned around.
He waved his hands up and walked away again. At some point, however, his new form dispersed like a ghost.
“Kuk.”
suppressed moans.
It was because the pain he had been enduring came rushing in all at once.
Maybe it felt bad, but Juju licked my body.
Pachik, Pachit.
The current flowing through my body passed through his body as well.
“… … are you drunk It’s okay, ma’am. I’m a guy with a history of being patient.”
I tried to put him in the [warehouse] because I was worried that the shareholder would go wrong.
“uh!?”
Then I quit soon after. Strangely enough, it was because the pain subsided as he rubbed and licked his hair. Is it an illusion if it seems like Juju is eating a lightning bolt?
Pachit, Pachit.
Anyway, thanks to the shareholder, it has improved a lot.
Hundreds of stitches reduced to dozens?
still in pain,
‘This is tolerable.’
Still, the swear words coming out of my lips.
“Shiba. It hurts terribly.”
I started climbing Jongnam Mountain step by step.
Registration in Yongbong City was until noon today.
If I was late even by an hour, I would throw away the entire year, so I had to diligently move my feet.
Woo woo-.
I don’t know what it is, but after I sucked on the smoking pipe the drug guy gave me, my head became foggy, my body became listless, and the remaining pain disappeared.
food.
“Am I a drug addict then?”
Feeling more comfortable, now I can run.
In addition, I have had time to think.
And the words of Buk-Ri Gyeong-Hon that suddenly passed by.
― Were you also a member of the Five Spirits?
Omaji body.
It was the first time I heard it.
If you solve it, is it the body of five demons?
“Did you say that a black flame dragon lives in your body? So, does that mean that a thunder dragon lives in my body right now?”
Fisik, is that bastard bluffing this time?
An illusionist and a braggart. That was the North Korean marriage that was stuck in my head.
Whoa-.
I took another sip. Boredom that quickly climbs through the body.
It must be because of this. That’s why his expression is always like that.
“Well, there is nothing like this for the price of food. now.”
For a moment, I heard that thought for a moment, for a very short time.
He might be a surprisingly good guy.
I glanced at the direction where Buk-ri Gyeong-hon had disappeared and immediately ran towards the mountaintop.
And it was only then that one person came to mind.
The culprit who ruined things like this.
“Oh, but where the hell did this inspiration go! See you next time!”
Respect for the elderly is bullshit.
I decided to attack the elderly as an exception and started running in earnest.
● ● ●
A wilderness between Xian and Zhongnan Mountain.
“… … .”
Geumbongnam stood there devastated.
“As expected, you are a non-spiritual person. How can you get away with this reporter Cheon so easily? Hee hee.”
Laughing dejectedly, he suddenly scratches his ear.
“Someone is Genji who curses this reporter Cheon. If I get caught, I’ll just smash the leg club and throw it away.”
wheein-.
The cold wind mercilessly blows his white salted rice.
It is often a northerly wind, but this time it is an exceptionally southerly wind.
The direction of Jongnam Mountain.
“Is this because it’s also Yongbongsi?”
Jongnam Mountain, Yongbong City.
As those two things flashed through my mind, I remembered Danyuseong, which I had left unintentionally.
“Help. You did really well to come out in midfield. How many fun things have you already been through since you arrived?”
I met the world’s Dunjae named Dan Yooseong,
He encountered Mu Young-ja, a rare great swordsman who said that there was nothing in the world that could not be stolen.
and… … .
Crucially, the factor that broke Nobu’s gold powder was waiting.
After living for so long, life was very boring… … .
When I was about to leave Chungcheong and wander around the famous mountains of Dongyeong (東瀛, Japan), a letter from Jungwon.
A secret letter with the seal of the Murim Lord.
It contained only one short line.
― Appearance delayed.
Ohmajiche appeared in the midfield.
‘I have to die when I get old, but if I do this, I won’t be able to die easily.’
wheein-.
Again, the wind blows his white salted white rice to the south.
“There’s going to be a bloody wind blowing through Murim.”
Pad-!
Geumbongnam started to return to Jongnamsan Mountain, following the route he came from on the south wind.
