Episode 9: Nine Birds (2)
The Mountain Sea Classic, one of the three forbidden books that has existed since the time of King Wu of the Xia Dynasty.
Although it is the oldest geography book, it contains many strange records.
Gu-yeo (犰狳) is one of the two types of beasts included in the Mountain and Sea Sutra and was so dangerous that it could be described as a ferocious beast.
-square! square! square! square! Sssssssssssss!
The number of various insects that flocked was difficult to count.
Mo Gyeong-un stroked his chin as if he was embarrassed and spoke to Cheong-ryeong.
“Are you saying these bugs are bad?”
-no. There is an imamangryang that gets along well with bugs. No, rather than being friendly, I should say that it keeps bugs from moving.
“That’s a lot.”
There were so many.
Before I knew it, the floor was completely black with bugs.
It was so crowded that there was no space for my feet to move, so much so that I was reluctant to get off the bed.
People who were not in a good mood might find it embarrassing to even look at it.
Mo Qingyun glanced at Ma Seong, who was still leaning against him.
-Sneaking!
The demon’s wounds were slowly being filled.
Mok Gyeong-un saw this and told Cheongryeong.
“These bugs. “It must have something to do with the demonic horse becoming like that, right?”
-Maybe so.
“It looks like the young man doesn’t know for sure.”
-I don’t know what I don’t know. What happened when I saved the life of a fatal assassin? Be grateful. If it weren’t for this post, you sentient beings would have died without moving.
“Reverse kill?”
Reverse killing.
I remember reading it in the Book of Yin-Yang Family.
Being hit by a ghost, or vengeful spirit, is called killing.
It seems that sending the death back to the vengeful spirit or its host with the help of a higher being is called reverse killing.
It’s a kind of revenge.
‘There’s no way an ordinary person would know how to do something like that.’
Here, Mok Kyung-un’s thoughts turned very quickly.
Ordinary people would have become rigid or confused due to the swarm of insects, but Mok Gyeong-un calmly observed the situation.
‘Bangsa…then you are Mrs. Seok?’
And the culprit was pointed out at once.
In this situation, the only person who would call another Bangla and ask for the assassination was Lady Seok, the grand dame.
It didn’t seem like he was the type of person to give up easily, but it was as expected.
Mok Kyung-un shook his head.
-What should we do? If you stay like this, you will become food for insects.
The young man nodded.
The legs of the wooden bed that the insects were touching were crunching and lowering.
– Crunchy!
The speed was quite fast.
The only places without bugs were on the bed and on the long table with medicinal herbs on it.
No, there was one more.
‘lamplight.’
It was a little different from other places.
Usually bugs have a habit of gathering in bright places.
They either approached it without realizing it, but were pushed away because it was hot, or the surrounding area was widened because it was burning.
“Cheongryeong. “Can you help me?”
-well. Why should this place be like that?
“……”
Mo Kyung-un raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Then Cheongnyeong snorted, sucked in the gombangdae as much as he could, and exhaled.
-You said earlier that you helped out of mercy because you were in a state of trouble, but since you’re awake, don’t you have the confidence to solve this problem?
Hearing the young man’s words, Mok Gyeong-un whetted his appetite.
She was the one who took a wrong turn at important moments.
I thought he would be more favorable now that he was answering the questions so well, but it seems not to be the case yet.
“It’s almost like a symbiotic relationship. Are you going to do this?”
-I will save your life.
“iced coffee.”
It was a very difficult food spirit to deal with.
At that time, Cheongryeong smiled and said to Mok Gyeong-un.
-hey. rebirth. Let me make a suggestion.
“Suggestion?”
-okay. Try to overcome this crisis on your own. If you get out of this situation on your own, I will seriously think about whether or not to help you in the future.
Mok Kyung-un clicked his tongue at her words.
Since she was her food spirit anyway, she had no choice but to help if her life was threatened.
But it was ridiculous to suggest something like this.
I don’t know if it was because he was of a higher rank, unlike the demon monk, but he was really stubborn and had a strong ego.

“I can’t help it. There is no choice but to adjust to the one that is disappointing. “Let’s take the easy way first.”
-Easy way?
In response to Cheongryeong’s question, Mok Gyeong-un raised his voice and shouted.
“Is there anyone?”
Outside the yakdang, there are warriors from the outer shrine.
It was easiest to get their help rather than trying to solve it myself.
“Warriors?”
But no answer was heard.
It is clearly a figure standing in the shadow of the weather strip…
‘hmm.’
I could see that his head was slightly tilted to the side.
I felt like I had lost my mind.
It looks like he did something to them.
-What did you expect?
“……..Yes.”
Mo Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders.
-Jump, jump, jump!
At that time, a shadow approached the door of the medicine hall in front of the weather strip.
Looking at the shape of the shadow, it appears to be a woman. There was a robe on the woman’s right shoulder, and a strangely shaped shadow was visible above it.
It was an unusual shadow with a bird’s beak and a snake’s tail.
-You’re so confident that you came in person.
“Is that it?”
-Whoa. okay. That’s a ball.
That strange shadow on her shoulder seemed to be a nine-year-old woman.
Cheongnyeong, who was exhaling smoke while sucking on a stick, snorted and muttered that he did not like it.
-Now, there’s even a squire who takes that damn bird around as a food spirit.
“I guess he doesn’t like it.”
-I just hate bugs.
Cheongryeong shuddered for no reason, as if he really hated bugs.
It was surprising that he hated bugs.
Surely this isn’t the only reason why you won’t help without showing it off?
I believe not.
– Crunchy!
Before I knew it, nearly half of the beds had collapsed due to bugs.
This was not only true for him, but also for the bed where Gochan was placed.
In response, Mo Kyung-un bit the back of his hand, near his wrist.
-Wow!
-What are you doing?
“I guess it’s a temporary measure.”
-Temporary solution?
-Gurgling!
As blood flowed from the bitten wrist, Mo Qingyun scattered it everywhere.
-Tu-tu-tu-tu-tuk!
Then a strange scene occurred.
When Mokgyeongun’s blood touched the insects, they made strange noises and started to fight, and then they started avoiding the spots where the blood was scattered.
Cheongryeong looked at this and asked in puzzlement.
-Why are they doing that?
“I ate a lot of poisonous plants since I was young, so my blood is toxic.”
-Blood is toxic?
Hearing these words, Cheongryeong looked at him as if he was shocked.
Having toxins in your blood was almost like being a poisonous person.
The more you know about this guy, the more bizarre he is.
-Tu-tu-tu-tu-tuk!
Mok Gyeong-un continued to splatter blood from the bottom of the bed to the surrounding area.
Watching the insects get scared and avoid blood gave me an idea of how toxic it was.
Before I knew it, the insects could no longer come near Mokgyeongun.
On the other hand, the bed where Go Chan was lying was dangerous.
– Crunchy!
Mok Gyeong-un tried to keep them away as much as possible by spraying blood, but since it wasn’t around, the bugs were rushing in through the blind spot.
In response, Mok Gyeong-un threw the wooden needle from the bed to the guard, Gochan.
-Pfft!
“Huh!”
Gochan, who had been hit on the head with a wooden needle, woke up in shock.
When Gochan woke up, he looked around without thinking and got scared.
“W-what is this?”
Huge number of bugs.
The bugs were covering the floor around them and even crawling up onto the bed.
Surprised, Gochan picked up the blanket and shook off the bugs.
Mok Gyeong-un spoke to Go Chan.
“I keep catching bugs because it’s dangerous.”
“Oh, Confucius? “What is this…”
“I don’t know either. “But I would advise you not to come down under the bed.”
‘driving me crazy.’
Go Chan was truly embarrassed by this situation.
But for now, as Mok Gyeong-un said, we had to keep the bugs in check by shaking them off.
That was when they were fighting to the death with insects.
-thud!
The door to the pharmacy opened and someone came inside.
Gochan, seeing this, shouted in surprise.
“There you are! “It’s dangerous, so don’t come in!”
What came inside was a woman with one white eye.
She was Bangsak (朔).
“Danger… Huh?”
Gochan’s eyes widened.
As soon as Sak took a step, the bugs were splitting to the left and right, making a path.
Of course, that was because her food spirit was controlling these bugs.
-Sneaking!
As she came inside, her eyes of different colors appeared.
I tried to scare them by gradually applying pressure, but I don’t know what I did, but the bugs were unable to get closer.
What did you do?
While she was wondering, Mok Kyung-un said to her:
“Are you a Bangsa?”
Sak frowned at this question.
Looking at that 17-year-old boy standing on the bed, it didn’t look like he was being possessed by a monster.
If it were possessed by a green spirit level vengeful spirit, there was no way it would look like that.
‘Is that it?’
Sak’s eyes turned to the large demonic horse sitting against the wall behind Mokgyeongun.
There was nothing visible in her black eyes.
However, it is visible in the other pupil, the white eye.
This is a ghost.
‘…Emperor?’
Her white eyes narrowed.
Looking through the white eye, one could guess to some extent the status of a ghost or vengeful spirit.
However, if you look at that injured spirit, no matter how you look at it, it is at the imperial level.
‘No way?’
The Imperial level was unable to repel the assassination.
This means that it was not the Hwangnyeong, but a man named Mok Gyeong-un, who is presumed to be the host, but no matter how you look at it, he was not a person skilled in witchcraft.
Then who is responsible for the assassination…
-You seem young, but you seem to have quite a bit of skill.
A voice ringing in my ears.
At this, Sak turned his head to the side.
– Thick!
A blood-colored thing visible in the blurry border caused blood to burst out in Sak’s white eye.
“omg!”
Surprised by the strong pain, she closed her eyes tightly.
What just happened?
The white eye, which can see the world behind the scenes, could not contain its existence.
No, not White Eyes, but rather, she herself could not accept the existence seen through White Eyes.
It was that moment.
-Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Suddenly, Gu Yeo, who had been calmly sitting on his shoulder, started screaming.
“Sigh! Calm…..”
-Woooooooooooooooo!!!!
Finally, Sak couldn’t stand the tearing scream and covered his ears.
She looked at Gu Ye with puzzled eyes.
Gu Yeo was looking at something with wary eyes, but she was so scared that she couldn’t control herself.
‘Guyeo is this scared? What on earth…’
-Woooooooooooo!!!!!
-Passsssss!
With Gu Yeo’s screams, the insects on the floor leaped upward.
The appearance of order disappeared.
Insects with wings flew up and rushed towards Mokgyeongun and Gochan like crazy.
“Go, Confucius!”
Gochan was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
At that time, Mo Kyung-un stretched out his hand toward the nearest lantern.
Then, I performed the ritual of putting on clothes while reciting the phrases in my head.
‘A breathtaking distance.’
If you concentrate within a distance of 1, you can pull a fallen object in a conscious manner.
The location of the lantern was right on the edge.
-Purrrrr!
The lamp stand shook.
Then, it was soon sucked into Mok Gyeong-un’s hands.
-Park!
Go Chan’s eyes widened when he saw this.
It was so surprising that Mokgyeongun, who had not even formed a Danjeon yet, showed such miracles.
But that was only for a moment.
-Pot!
Mok Gyeong-un jumped over to Go Chan’s bed in one go.
Then, he waved the lantern at the flying insects without hesitation.
-Howling! Good luck!
The insects that were running wild in the lamp also scattered here and there, probably because it was hot.
However, as if influenced by Guyeo’s continued screaming, he frantically tried to find an opening and fly in.
“Gochan escort dagger!”
“yes?”
“dagger!”
Hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s shout, Go Chan rummaged around his waist.
However, the dagger that he always carried for treatment was placed on top of the jacket under the bed.
In response, Gochan bent down and quickly reached down.
– Crunchy!
“Huh!”
Insects coming from the floor were clinging to the hem of the clothes and the dagger.
After hesitating for a moment, Gochan held on to the dagger.
Thanks to this, the bugs that stuck to Gochan started biting Gochan’s hands.
You might wonder how much it hurts to be bitten by bugs, but the situation changes when dozens of bugs stick together and bite you.
“Ugh!”
Gochan waved the hand holding the dagger and raised it.
Mok Gyeong-un swung the lantern with his hand.
-Roaring!
The insects that were still attached to the lamp flew away in a panic.
“Hey, here it is!”
At this moment, Gochan handed over the dagger.
Mok Gyeong-un, who received the dagger, gave the lantern and said.
“Keep swinging.”
“Yes, yes!”
Gochan swung the lantern at the flying insects.
In that moment, Mok Gyeong-un drew out his dagger,
-Wow!
‘!?’
He drew a dagger towards his forehead.
It wasn’t deep, but the cut was enough to cause blood to ooze out.
‘What is this?’
Go Chan could not hide his embarrassment.
Why do you suddenly hurt yourself?
But it wasn’t one.
Mok Gyeong-un cut himself here and there with a dagger, creating wounds.
-Wow! Okay!
“Confucius, what are you doing!”
Despite his cries, Mok Gyeong-un did not stop hurting him.
‘……Have you gone crazy?’
Even Bangsang Sak, who was trying to somehow control Gu Yeo, was momentarily distracted by Mo Gyeong-un’s actions.
What does it mean to suddenly harm yourself?
It was a moment of absurdity.
Mok Gyeong-un, whose body was covered in blood with cuts here and there, looked at her and raised the corners of his mouth.
– Creepy!
The sight was so creepy that Sak frowned.
How many times have you seen scarier things than this while working as a radiologist?
But it felt completely different from that.
It was that moment.
-Park!
Mok Kyung-un kicked his feet and ran towards where she was.
‘what are you doing?’
This was truly suicidal.
Insects are running wild and running towards that place, hurting themselves and jumping in.
Are you crazy because you want to die?
I was just thinking that.
however,
-Papa pa pa pa paak!
At that moment, an unbelievable scene occurred.
The bugs that touched Mok Gyeong-un started a fight and fell to the floor.
Most of the nearby bugs also avoided Mok Gyeong-un somehow, as if they were trying not to touch him.
As a result, a path was created by itself.
‘Why the bugs?’
She couldn’t understand it at all.
It was strange that if you cut someone like that, they would attack you even more because of the unique smell of blood.
But there was no time to be surprised now.
Mokgyeongun was right in front of us.
“Sigh! Stop it!”
Sak shouted and threw himself backwards, trying to pull the amulet out of his arms.
Then Mok Gyeong-un threw the dagger he was holding at her.
‘this!’
She was startled and tried to turn around to avoid it.
At that time, Gu Yeo, who was unable to control herself due to fear, probably sensed her danger and flew up from the top of the platform, striking the dagger with her claws.
-Park! Cheer up!
Then, it let out a scream that would rip out your eardrums at the enemy threatening its master.
-Woooooooooo!
With a roar, the bugs shook and swirled from the floor.
Something big is about to happen.
It was right then.
-Shhhh!
-Wooooooh?
Gu Yeo, who was screaming loudly, leaned forward and was soon sucked into Mo Gyeong-un’s hands.
It was a ceremony of wearing clothes.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Gu Yeo, whose neck was being held, was squealing in pain.
“Whew. “It’s quiet now.”
Mu Qingyun looked at Gu Ye, who was holding him, with a satisfied expression.
Sak’s eyes widened when he saw that.
‘……Nonsense.’
How can you catch something that isn’t even your food spirit with your bare hands?
