Episode 6: Filled with evil (1)
A demonic monk bowing politely with fear and reverence.
When he, a vengeful spirit and a strange creature, showed such an unexpected appearance, Mok Gyeong-un looked at the book in the wooden box with puzzled eyes.
A strange book made from human skin.
Why does the demonic monk react this way when he sees the book surrounded by prayer beads?
Mo Kyung-un unconsciously placed his hand on the book in the wooden box.
And the moment your fingertips touch,
– Excited!
‘!?’
Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.
‘……..beating?’
In a moment.
In a split second, I felt a heartbeat.
It was as vivid as a beating heart.
However, paradoxically, this throbbing was not caused by being alive.
Rather, it was closer to death.
– Excited! Exciting!
The throbbing seems to be getting stronger.
‘…………’
Mok Gyeong-un, who was staring at the book, soon closed the lid of the wooden box.
A strong attraction arose.
I wanted to take off the prayer beads and see what was inside, but it seemed difficult right now.
The reason why the devil appeared was because someone broke into Yakdong.
‘Disturber.’
Mo Kyung-un licked his upper lip with his tongue as if he was feeling regretful.
Then he turned his gaze upward.
* * *
-fault! fault!
There was a black masked person moving through the tiles of the building.
The masked man became even more scared when he discovered the guard, Gochan, who was guarding the pavilion of the only road leading to the medicine hall.
‘hmm.’
A strange look appeared in the masked man’s eyes.
As expected, Mok Gyeong-un had two bodyguards.
It was safe to say that one of them was no longer Mo Gyeong-un’s person, so it was no exaggeration to say that in reality, he was now just one bodyguard.
‘But why aren’t you staying by my side?’
Normally, an escort guards the owner’s immediate side.
But they are guarding the road away from the pharmacy?
‘It’s one of the two.’
The first is that the owner who guards it is sensitive and does not allow it to be around.
However, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
It made no sense to protect the owner whose thigh was pierced from a distance.
If so, it is the second one, the latter.
that,
‘Are you looking out?’
After receiving orders from the owner, he was to watch the surroundings to see if anyone else was coming.
Otherwise, there was no way we would be apart like this.
The masked man stroked his chin.
‘In the late morning hours, he was watching without sleeping…’
This turned out to be more interesting than I thought.
His name is Jo Il-sang.
He was one of the three bodyguards of the second Confucius, Mok Eun-pyeong.
[I’ll have to check just in case. I don’t know if it’s a desperate measure or not.]
The name he received from Mok Eun-pyeong was one.
The question was whether Mo Gyeong-un had really lost his martial arts skills.
If it is something that was not lost, it would mean that Guard Gam had falsely asked for it, and if he really couldn’t use martial arts, his request to accept it would have been true.
[Should I just check?]
[Then it wouldn’t be fun. If you really lost your martial arts skills, scare them appropriately. I’m telling you, don’t show off for no reason.]
[Hehehe. All right.]
Of the three escorts, he came like this.
Jo Il-sang’s inaction could be said to be the difference between a second-class warrior and a first-class expert.
He stepped forward because he was one step ahead of Gochan.
-Sigh! fault!
Jo Il-sang avoided Go-chan’s gaze and moved in a different direction and climbed over the wall.
Jo Il-sang climbed over the wall and climbed up to the ceiling of the medicine hall and crawled into the gap between the roof tiles.
‘What exactly was the injured guy doing that set up a net?’
Because the injury was a lie?
Or is it because the information about losing martial arts is false?
Whatever it is, it must be because there is something.

‘Let’s see what you’re hiding.’
Jo Il-sang entered through a gap in the tiles and infiltrated the pharmacy.
One of his eyebrows rose upward as he quietly hung from the ceiling and looked down, even holding his breath.
‘what?’
I saw something different from what I expected.
In Jo Il-sang’s disappointed eyes, he saw Mok Gyeong-un, who was reading a book with only his upper body up on the bed with a lamp turned on.
‘You’re just reading a book?’
Jo Il-sang looked around with suspicion.
However, there was no one inside the pharmacy other than Mok Gyeong-un.
‘weird.’
He didn’t come in through the door, and Go Chan, his only bodyguard, was watching from outside, so there was no way he would have noticed.
I wondered if someone had reported it, but it didn’t seem like that.
then…….
‘Is there a secret in that book?’
That possibility could not be ruled out.
In any case, you have to check whether there is martial arts or not, so you have to make contact.
Jo Il-sang carefully killed any signs of presence and moved the ceiling in the direction of Mok Gyeong-un’s bed.
And then,
-widely!
jumped down.
At the same time, Jo Il-sang snatched the book Mok Gyeong-un was looking at like lightning.
-Pot!
Jo Il-sang, who snatched the book, naturally thought that Mok Gyeong-un would be surprised or counterattack.
However, contrary to expectations, Mok Gyeong-un did not fight back and did not appear surprised.
On the contrary, he was looking at himself as if nothing had happened.
“who…..”
-Sigh!
As Mok Gyeong-un was about to say something, Jo Il-sang aimed a dagger at his neck and whispered.
“If you don’t want to die, be quiet.”
“……..”
Mo Qingyun closed his mouth.
I could say things were going well, but Jo Il-sang didn’t feel that way.
‘This guy…’
Suddenly, someone wearing a mask appears, snatches the book, and points a dagger at his neck, threatening him.
Normally, anyone would be embarrassed.
No, I had to show fear or nervousness.
However, Mok Gyeong-un was looking at him with an expressionless face, without any emotional changes, as if it was everyday life.
‘Just look at this guy’s reaction…’
He looks like someone who knew in advance that he was coming.
But that couldn’t have been possible.
In order to appear this casual, one must at least have great inaction to the point of protecting one’s own life.
‘!?’
Jo Il-sang’s eyes narrowed.
When I thought about it, regardless of the presence or absence of martial arts, when a person is startled, their body moves in some way conditionally and reflexively.
But Mo Qingyun didn’t move at all.
‘Is it false information that this guy lost his martial arts skills?’
-Glance!
Jo Il-sang turned his eyes and looked at the book he had taken away.
However, Jo Il-sang’s eyes shook like crazy when he saw the title of the book.
‘!!!!!!!’
That’s right,
[Yeonmokseonggeomgyeol (然木成劍訣)]
It was.
There was no way among the people at the Yeonmok Sword Master who did not know the name of this sword technique.
This is a sword technique that symbolizes Yeonmok Geomjang.
The reason was that this sword technique was a martial art that contained upward techniques that only the leader of the Yeonmok Sword Master could learn.
‘under……’
Surprised, Jo Il-sang’s next move was something he had not planned.
Jo Il-sang grabbed Mok Gyeong-un’s shoulders using Geumna-su’s technique and pulled him down by squeezing him.
At the same time, he struck the acupuncture point on the back of his head with the hand holding the dagger.
-puck!
Mok Gyeong-un, who was struck by this, lowered his head.
Jo Il-sang’s heart was pounding loudly and he quickly let out a rough breath.
“ha…….”
For a moment, I was so surprised by the level of Yeonmokseonggeomgyeol that I hit him on the back of his head and knocked him out.
‘Was this the reason the net was set up?’
Jo Il-sang placed his hand on the acupuncture point of Mok Gyeong-un, who had fainted.
I happened to forget about it, but I also had to check whether Mok Gyeong-un had lost his martial arts skills or not.
-Sigh!
Jo Il-sang placed his hand on the acupuncture point and let energy flow into his body.
‘ah!’
There was no need to check for a long time.
If there was even a little bit of inner strength, as soon as another person’s true energy entered, a rebound force would occur or a rejection reaction would occur in some way.
But Mok Gyeong-un had nothing like that.
– Squeeze!
Jo Il-sang pressed Mok Gyeong-un’s stomach on the Danjeon side.
‘does not exist.’
There really was no power outage.
The corners of Jo Il-sang’s mouth rose.
After examining whether Mok Gyeong-un had martial arts, the second Confucius Mok Eun-pyeong’s instructions to scare him had already disappeared from his mind.
Jo Il-sang opened the pages of the non-class book Yeonmokseonggeomgyeol and flipped through them.
“Coop!”
After flipping through a few pages, Jo Il-sang’s lips twitched.
I almost laughed without realizing it.
I wondered if it might be a fake, but it was definitely the real sword of Yeonmokseonggeomgyeol, Choshik.
From the beginning, the inspections were unusual.
‘Let’s calm down.’
I never dreamed that Mo Kyung-un would have this in his hands.
The vassals were also very concerned about this situation because the lord’s official seal, which was important in the succession of the family, and the secret book of Yeonmokseonggeomgyeol, a military official exclusively for the lord, were missing.
However, the Yeonmokseong Sword was placed in his hand.
‘it’s okay.’
It was truly fortunate that Yeonmokseong Geomgyeol came in.
If his lord, Mok Eun-pyeong, learned the Yeonmokseong Sword, a martial art exclusively for Jangju, even if Jangju died like this, the next Jangju would belong to his lord.
‘It’s an advantageous position.’
No matter how much the lord during his lifetime cherished his youngest son, Mo Yu-cheon, even if he had the eldest son, Mo Yong-ho, the vassals would ultimately have no choice but to support their lord since he was a member of the martial arts family.
It was a moment when I was so happy.
-Startle!
At that moment, I felt a chill so strong that my whole body was shivering.
And then something pressed down on his shoulder.
‘What is this?’
Surprised, Jo Il-sang hurriedly tried to increase his strength.
It was that moment.
-puck!
“Sigh!”
Someone hit his danjeon area with a fist.
It was Mok Gyeong-un, whom he believed had knocked him unconscious.
‘What kind of power?’
This is the power of a guy with no inner strength?
It was at least second-rate.
– Parr!
In a situation where Jo Il-sang was caught off guard and was struck by a power failure before he could even increase his strength, his body became stiff, even if only for a moment.
But that brief gap had a very negative effect on him.
“Oops!”
-Tutuk! Tootuk!
My veins bristled.
A strange sensation creeping up through my crushed shoulders.
This sensation made him so painful and tormented that he shuddered.
Jo Il-sang gritted his teeth and tried to push away this strange sensation.
however,
-puck!
Without missing that moment, Mok Kyung-un slashed his chin with his fist and at the same time punched his stomach repeatedly.
– Puff puff puff!
Normally, this method would not have worked on Jo Il-sang, who is about to become a first-class player.
However, I let down my guard a little because I obtained a non-emergency certificate.
And in a situation where my entire body was feeling chills and my shoulders were weighing down, no matter how hard I was, I couldn’t stand the punches that were persistently aimed only at the area around the Danjeon.
“Off! “This bastard…”
“It’s sturdy. then.”
-Park!
Mok Kyung-un grabbed the back of his head with both hands, pulled him up, and lifted his face with his knees.
-Quad!
“Turn it off!”
There was the sound of my nose and teeth breaking.
Nevertheless, Mok Gyeong-un continued to hit Jo Il-sang’s face with his fist as he stumbled backwards.
-Pukpuk!
Even though the blood was soaking his fists, Mok Gyeong-un did not stop.
‘So…so terrible…’
Jo Il-sang lost consciousness so quickly.
* * *
How long has it been?
Jo Il-sang regained consciousness and opened his eyes with difficulty.
When he opened his eyes, he felt like his head was going to explode.
‘What on earth…what?’
When I just woke up, I couldn’t really remember what happened.
Then it suddenly occurred to me.
This is Mok Gyeong-un, who was frantically hitting himself in the face with an expressionless face.
‘Damn……’
I was completely caught off guard.
Or should I say that I was careless?
The first blow was said to have been caused by a carelessness after confirming that the guy had no power, but it wasn’t anything after that.
‘What about that feeling?’
I couldn’t forget that feeling that sent shivers down my spine.
Because of that feeling, my body became stiff and I tried to withstand it with internal energy, but I lost consciousness as Mok Kyung-un hit my dantian and yo acupuncture points.
In fact, it wouldn’t have been surprising even if he had died.
‘……What on earth is it?’
Jo Il-sang was puzzled.
It was clearly confirmed that Mok Gyeong-un had no inner strength.
However, it was no exaggeration to say that with a blow of that magnitude, it had a power almost equal to his own.
‘shit.’
“haha….”
But for now, that wasn’t important.
Jo Il-sang struggled to open his blood-covered eyes and looked around.
‘!?’
Jo Il-sang, who was looking around, frowned.
This was not a pharmacy.
Now that I think about it, I felt a strangely cool and humid feeling, and it was like a cave.
-Snap! Pop!
‘Huh?’
Jo Il-sang noticed drops of blood floating in the air, perhaps from sweat flowing from his body.
I wondered what the phenomenon was, but it was,
‘Could it be…am I hanging upside down right now?’
Now I think I understand why my face felt like it was going to explode.
I thought it was because of the pain from being hit so hard in the face, but it was more a result of blood rushing while hanging upside down.
“haha…..”
Jo Il-sang’s breathing became rough.
I don’t know where I am, but I feel uneasy about something.
I felt like I had to get out quickly.
“Whoa.”
Jo Il-sang concentrated on his breathing and tried to draw out the energy of Danjeon.
however,
‘What, what is it?’
But there was no strength in my entire body.
I wanted to concentrate, but it didn’t feel like I had lost all sensation in every part of my body except my face.
“Why is this happening?”
A voice came out of his embarrassed mouth.
-Sigh!
As I was doing that, I heard someone pretending to be popular.
“It looks like you’re awake.”
I looked towards the place where the sound came from and saw Mok Gyeong-un walking upside down on the ceiling.
Of course, it was only visible that way because of the upside-down view.
Jo Il-sang shouted, embarrassed by the paralyzed feeling throughout his body.
“What on earth did you do?”
At his question, the corners of Mo Kyung-un’s mouth went up as if they were about to tear apart.
“well. “What did you do?”
– Creepy!
Unlike the smile, the hideous evil itself lurks in the eyes.
Jo Il-sang felt eerie for the first time in his life.
