Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 13

Episode 4 The Demon Monk (3)

‘Unbelievable……’

Rep. Noh, who was taking a pulse, could not help but be surprised.

Even just in the morning, it seemed as if his pulse would stop at any moment.

But the pulse of my heart gave me life.

In just a few hours.

‘My complexion has also improved.’

All symptoms whose cause was unknown disappeared.

Although he was a bit weak because he had been lying unconscious in a hospital bed for a long time, there was a high possibility that he would improve sufficiently if he took good care of himself.

but,

‘The problem is consciousness.’

Zhang Ju was unconscious for quite some time.

Because he was unable to come to his senses, the head of the Yeonmok Sword was boiling over the succession issue.

Since he was recovering, there was a good chance he would wake up, but he wasn’t sure when that would be.

If you get harmed before then…

‘…….’

At that time, a sharp woman’s voice reached his ears.

“How about this? “He is.”

Rep. Noh slowly raised his head.

The owner of the voice was Mrs. Seok, the grand dame.

Her expression is different from usual.

Even when I saw him in the morning, his eyes were filled with arrogance and determination.

Rep. Roh felt something ominous about this.

‘There is something.’

Rep. Noh felt that the situation was unusual.

When they rushed here, Zhuang Zhou’s arm was cut off, and the area was full of traces of occult practices, such as amulets and red thread.

However, the person who performed the magic trick was found dead.

A third Confucius was involved in the process.

‘What on earth is going on?’

Rep. Noh looked carefully into Mrs. Seok’s eyes.

Her eyes were strangely trembling.

It was the kind of reaction you would expect when something goes wrong.

‘Things didn’t work out right.’

Although his arm was cut off, Zhang Ju’s complexion improved considerably.

Mrs. Seok is also a martial artist, so she has learned martial arts and knows how to pay attention to some details.

You may have already noticed that the situation is better than in the morning.

But the fact that I’m not happy at all…

‘Could it be that they were not trying to treat through radiation, but were planning something with magic or something?’

It seemed plausible enough to say no.

Everyone knows that Zhuang Zhou is considering the youngest Confucius, Mu Yuqian, as his successor.

In fact, from the position of such a great lady, she would rather not want the chieftain to wake up.

“Has his condition improved?”

Rep. Noh thought for a moment when Mrs. Seok asked her question again.

It was just her and herself in this place.

If they said that Jangju would wake up soon, I somehow thought that Mrs. Seok might do something.

Representative Noh, who was worried, spoke carefully.

“…….The complexion has brightened and the pulse has improved, but the details are still poor. This is because the illness has been prolonged. “I think it would be better to think of it as a helioplast.”

“iced coffee……..”

Revolving light reflection.

It was a metaphor for the sky becoming brighter for a moment just before the sun sets, and a brief moment of vitality before death.

Actually, that wasn’t the case, but I said that on purpose.

But,

‘under.’

Rep. Noh was inwardly appalled.

Although she moaned as if she was sorry, Mrs. Seok’s expression and eyes were close to relief.

It must have been because he didn’t want Zhang Ju to recover.

Rep. Noh looked at Jang Ju and said to himself.

‘Jangju……I don’t have time. You need to wake up.’

Otherwise, there was no telling what Mrs. Seok would do.

* * *

The godfather, Mrs. Seok, came out and returned with her usual arrogant expression.

When she came out of the floor, the head of the house, Jang Myeong-in, as well as a one-eyed female warrior named Hoang and two maids who were guarding her, were waiting for her.

Mrs. Seok came to the side of the head of the house, Jang Myeong-in, and opened her mouth.

“Are you sure about the cause of death?”

To that question, the head of the house, Jang Myeong-in, nodded his head and answered quietly.

“I’m sure. He was not killed by physical shock. “I’ve seen countless corpses for a long time, but nothing like that…”

Where Jang Myeong-in pointed with his eyes, there was the body of the dead Bangsa Myoshin.

It was covered with mat, but the skin was exposed and the veins were bulging and sticking out in an odd way.

It was her first time seeing a body like that.

Mrs. Seok turned her head away from the body and asked in a low voice.

“What did you say?”

“The guard samurai said he came to visit me in hospital.”

“Visit…….”

“yes. Then Bang Bang went crazy like someone possessed by something and cut off Jang Ju’s arm and tried to kill him.”

“……..It’s a mess.”

“I’m sorry. “I should have been at least guarding the entrance to the pavilion…”

Jang Myung-in bowed and apologized.

She shook her head at this.

“What can I do about something that has already happened? But do you really think that’s the case?”

“What does that mean?”

“Are you really saying that the child discovered it by accident while visiting the hospital?”

“…….Looking at the condition of the body and the circumstances, it seems to be correct.”

“Does it seem right?”

“Confucius Mu Qingyun even suffered an injury where his thigh was pierced by a sword. “The bleeding was so severe that it could have been dangerous.”

That was how Jang Myeong-in saw it.

It was difficult to sustain an injury of that magnitude on one’s own.

It may have been a slight cut or a small amount of bleeding that was not dangerous from the sword, but there was no doubt about it.

“……”

After hearing these words, she still did not let go of her doubts.

Seeing this, Jang Myeong-in thought so.

This was because she disapproved of all the princes except the archduke.

Then she asked.

“Where is the child now?”

“yes?”

“I mean that kid Mok Gyeong-un.”

“iced coffee. Third Confucius, I quickly stopped the bleeding, but sent him to the pharmacy for treatment.”

“Yakdang?”

“yes.”

Her gaze turned towards the medicine hall located on the west side of the main building.

Soon, his gaze followed his footsteps.

* * *

‘Pleasant smell.’

Mo Qingyun sniffed and smiled.

After coming down the mountain, I felt nostalgic as I smelled various medicinal herbs for the first time in a long time.

Memories of picking up herbs with my grandfather.

As I recalled that fresh and beautiful memory, conflicting emotions rose up in a corner of my heart again.

-…….

There was a strange look in the Demon Monk’s only white pupils.

It was influenced by a deep murderous intent.

Ordinary murderous intent was not something that would have much of an effect on a vengeful soul, but this emanating from Mok Gyeong-un was different.

This is so thick that even a vengeful spirit feels uncomfortable.

It was a darkness qualitatively different from the sorrow created by the environment.

It was almost like a primal feeling.

-…………

At that time, Mok Gyeong-un asked in a low voice.

“okay. “Have you checked?”

-…….

Ma Seung nodded to that question.

“Where is it?”

Ma Seung pointed with his finger at a wall filled with medicine cabinets stacked like drawers.

At first glance, the entire wall literally looks like a medicine storage drawer.

But Ma Seung pointed to that place.

The medicine drawer that Ma Seung pointed to had Oyang (梧凉) written on it.

If the bark of the paulownia tree is dried in a shady place for a long time, it becomes a medicine called oyang, but it is not commonly used.

‘That seems plausible.’

I deliberately targeted the medicine drawer that I rarely use.

The reason Mok Gyeong-un had Ma Seung confirm this was because of the words that came out of Jang Ju’s mouth.

[About…..Dang….Underground….Jeong (丁) Seok…….Moon…….Inside. [……]

However, there was actually no entrance to the basement inside the pharmacy.

Of course I thought that would be the case.

If it was something precious enough for a woman called the Great Lady to aim for it, there was no way it would be visible to everyone.

‘You’ll find out when you check.’

Mok Kyung-un looked around.

Now, it is full of people working in pharmacies, including Yakdong.

It seemed difficult to confirm because there were so many watching eyes and listening ears.

It seemed like I would have to aim for a late night.

That was the car.

-Klick!

The person who opened the door to the pharmacy and came in was none other than Gochan, the escort.

Go Chan came inside and approached Mok Gyeong-un.

Mok Gyeong-un said to him.

“Are you a little late?”

Gochan almost frowned for a moment at those words.

The task Mok Gyeong-un ordered was not as simple as fetching water.

It’s really unfair to say that it’s late when you haven’t been asked to do something that can be done in an instant.

“Where is it?”

In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s question, Go Chan took out two books from his pocket.

“There are only two books?”

Go Chan grumbled and said, hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s tone of disappointment.

“This was also secretly stolen before it was burned.”

“Before you burn it?”

“yes. “The guards guarding the main building are burning the endorsement box and all the items the governor brought with him.”

“ah? is it so?”

At those words, Mok Gyeong-un licked his lips as if he felt regretful.

I was interested in the art of radiation, so I tried to look through the books I had.

But the only thing I got was two books out of all those books.

‘The Book of Yin-Yang Family Book of Discipleship? ‘A strange first book?’

These were the titles of the two books.

Still, it was a great compliment to steal two of the thickest books I had seen.

As disappointing as it was, I felt like I would have to be satisfied with this.

“thank you for your effort.”

“But Confucius…what are you doing with the books that the governor had…”

Gochan stopped mid-speech.

Then, he quickly put the book he had tried to hand over to Mok Gyeong-un back into his arms.

Mok Gyeong-un looked at him, wondering why he was doing this.

But eventually I found out the reason.

-Stay back for a moment.

-yes.

As new people approached from the outside of the medicine hall and said something, the guard warriors guarding the entrance left.

-Kkiik!

The door opened and someone appeared.

She was a middle-aged woman dressed in flashy clothes adorned with precious metals.

Gochan bowed his head in greeting with a surprised expression.

“I will see you, Madam, my godwife.”

‘Madam?’

She was none other than Lady Seok, the godfather of Yeonmok Geomjang.

A strange look appeared in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.

It was the woman written on the information sheet given by Howie Gam.

It was said that Lady Seok, the great wife, was more dangerous and needed to be more careful than the first Confucius, Mok Yeong-ho.

It was written that she was from a martial arts family, Geumhwa Seokgajang, so she was quite skilled in martial arts and was a clever woman.

‘this…….’

Go Chan was equally embarrassed by her appearance.

Mok Gyeong-un’s appearance was so similar that it was indistinguishable from the real thing, but in order to avoid an unexpected situation, Guard Gam advised Shinsin to prevent him from meeting people from the Mok family as much as possible.

“It is the name of my godmother, Madam. “Everyone, stay out.”

At the command of Hoang, the one-eyed female bodyguard next to Mrs. Seok, all the people in the pharmacy went outside.

-Rumble!

As he sent everyone out, Howie Gochan felt something was wrong.

I had never directly encountered her before, so I had no idea what this meant.

It was a moment when I was wondering.

Mrs. Seok approached Mok Gyeong-un, who was only raising his upper body on the bed.

At this, Gochan hurriedly winked.

‘greeting. greeting.’

Mok Kyung-un, who understood this, put his hands together and bowed his head in courtesy.

“Please understand that I cannot stand up because my legs are uncomfortable.”

The greeting was better than I expected.

But the key started here.

The stark difference between the fake and the real thing was the voice and way of speaking.

Fortunately, this fake Mok Gyeong-un had a similar voice to the real dead Mok Gyeong-un, so it sounded similar when I was practicing, but I was worried about whether it would work.

‘Except for the Grand Duke, other princes rarely encounter the Grand Duchess in person…’

Mrs. Seok was more sensitive and suspicious than I thought.

If I got caught here, the worst could happen.

At that moment, Mrs. Seok, who had come right in front of me, opened her mouth.

“I didn’t come just to say hello.”

‘ha……’

For a moment, Gochan almost breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Mrs. Seok didn’t seem to notice.

It seemed like it was more indistinguishable from the real thing than I thought.

It’s still like a sheet of thin ice, but as long as you don’t make any mistakes, you’ll get through this moment well…

-closely!

‘!?’

Gochan’s eyes widened.

That was because Mrs. Seok suddenly pressed down on Mok Kyung-un’s thigh wound.

At this, Mok Kyung-un lowered his head and groaned as if he was in pain.

“Off!”

‘Rain, damn it!’

Gochan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed at that sight.

It didn’t seem to matter whether it was really fake.

Judging from her attitude, she was doubting whether Mo Kyung-un was really injured or not.

“What did you see and hear there?”

-Ouch!

“Turn it off!”

Mrs. Seok said as she pressed harder on Mok Gyeong-un’s injured area.

Seeing that, Gochan became restless.

There was no way that crazy guy couldn’t bear the pain.

However, if you make a mistake with your words in this situation, you will not only arouse the great lady’s suspicions, but you will also make her an enemy.

“lady! “You misunderstood something…”

-Sreung!

Gochan stepped forward to try to stop her, but Lady Seok’s bodyguard, Hoang, drew his sword and aimed it at her neck.

“Don’t intervene.”

‘f*cking bitch!’

Gochan was at a loss as to what to do about this.

If Mok Gyeong-un was not allowed to speak, he would have to deal with this situation alone.

Now, the only way to get out of the situation is to keep it low and keep it low.

Mrs. Seok’s bodyguard, Hoang, was glaring at her, so she could no longer make a look or move her mouth.

-closely!

At that time, Mrs. Seok pressed Mok Gyeong-un’s thigh even harder and urged him.

“I don’t know about you, but it’s rare for a master with that level of skill to die from being possessed by a ghost while practicing witchcraft. But the Bangsa was caught by something and stopped Jangju from cutting off his wrist and harming him? I thought it would be easy for me to believe that…”

-Pisik!

Mrs. Seok frowned at the sound that came out of Mok Gyeong-un’s mouth.

This guy was in pain just a moment ago.

But did you just laugh at me?

Unless he heard wrong, it was something that should be laughed at.

“You… can’t believe it now…”

At that time, Mok Kyung-un slowly raised his head.

Mrs. Seok was momentarily dumbfounded at the sight of Mok Gyeong-un smiling with the corners of his mouth raised.

Has this guy gone crazy now?

‘What are you doing now?’

The same was true for Howie Gochan, who was embarrassed.

What are you doing now when you’re under suspicion and bowing down isn’t enough?

Sure enough, Mrs. Seok opened her mouth in an angry voice.

“You really are…”

“Let’s not lose strength to each other when it’s pointless.”

“what?”

“Don’t you need the master’s seal?”

‘!?’
