Episode 45
There are guys in here
Danggon was immediately called to Gui Zhuge’s office.
“I’m so tired from my business trip. Why do you keep telling me to come?”
Since the days of Gwangpungdae, Danggon and Guijegal have been at odds the most.
If Danggon symbolizes martial arts, Guijegal symbolizes literature.
The two were always together because their civil and military duties could not be separated when carrying out operations, but they also clashed a lot.
No, to be exact, it was Danggon who unilaterally clashed with Gui Zhuge.
As expected of a strategist, Gui Zhuge always had a lot to say.
The problem wasn’t just that there were a lot of them, but that there were too many.
No matter what situation arises, if you try to explain it within the limits of common sense that you know, it will end up being a pain in the ass.
So, Dang-gon always told Gui-je-gal to keep his mouth shut.
Gui Zhuge didn’t want to do that, so he just chattered like a sparrow, telling him to just listen.
Although they often bickered, the two still acknowledged each other’s skills.
Danggon is the ghost of Gui Zhuge.
Gui Zhuge believed in Dang Gon’s military power, sense of responsibility, and vision.
“Because you like it?”
Gui Zhe Gal winked one eye visible behind his mask.
Danggon glared at him as if he was going to kill him.
“… I’m not interested in blue?”
“I’m afraid you might misunderstand, but I also identify as heteros*xual.”
“Who asked you that? Anyway, don’t talk like a dog. If you have nothing to say, just leave.”
“But as a colleague, I trust you and like you very much.”
“Ah! What the heck!! Stop saying things like that because it gives me goosebumps! So why the hell did you call me!!”
“Hehehe. I have a question.”
“If you were curious, do you think I would just humbly answer, ‘Bbibi, just tell me anything’?”
“I won’t do it.”
“I know. Then-”
“But what should I say?”
“Why me!”
“If you don’t want to throw up the food and salary you’ve been eating for free, you should pay for it now.”
“…fu*k.”
“Furthermore, I heard that these days, Unhwi Confucius has completely wiped out all his capital and is living off of advance payments. Should I stop that? If I just issue a stop payment order, it’ll be really clean.”
“fu*k you! The most lethal thing in the world is blackmail with money!?”
“So, isn’t that why I can wield my power like this against you who won’t listen to me?”
“This is an abuse of power!!”
“So? What should I do? Give me a stop order?”
Danggon quickly bowed his head.
“Ask me anything, Commander-in-Chief!! I will be happy to answer your questions!”
“That’s why I like you. This is a total change of scenery, a whirlwind, a whirlwind.”
“…fu*k.”
Danggon ground his teeth.
I was wondering why I felt so much discomfort while watching Unhwi recently, and it seems like it was because of Guijegal.
Isn’t the character “Gwi (鬼)” in “Gwijegal” not originally a ghost, but rather a devil that teases people?
“Tell me about Prince Yunhui.”
Gui Zhuge now raised his chin high while crossing one leg.
The sight was so unlucky that Dang-gon felt like hitting the guy just once.
“Didn’t you say you would upload the report separately?”
“Not that one.”
“then?”
“As the former commander of the Gwangpungdae, my assessment of Prince Yunhwi.”
“!!”
In that moment, Danggon’s eyes changed.
The corners of Gui Zhuge’s mouth curled up.
For the old members of the Gwangpungdae, the whirlwind was a word that was both bittersweet and painful.
As if my skin is hot right now.
The devil said.
“Tell me. Do you think Prince Yunhui can really bring back the storm?”
* * *
By the time we arrived at Dosunghyeon, it was night.
There were quite a lot of people on the street.
The problem was that most of those large crowds were unmanned, each carrying a weapon on their belt.
“There are a lot more people here than I thought…?”
“I think the crowds have gathered because the visit of the Dark Lord is just around the corner.”
“I have heard that the problem is that the inns in Guryong County are so full that they can no longer accommodate guests.”
“Aren’t people being pushed out to this point?”
That made sense.
“First, let’s get a good grasp of the situation here.”

Do Seong-hyeon was here for the first time and had no idea about the structure.
In such a situation, there were so many unmanned people that it was difficult to distinguish between believers because they were so mixed together.
First of all, I planned to look at the city from above and examine its geography, structure, and people.
I looked around and went to the tallest building that seemed nearby.
Dasan Tea House.
It was a classy tea house with a luxurious atmosphere that seemed to be frequented mainly by young ladies.
“welcome!”
“Is there room on the top floor?”
“There is just one spot left-”
Jeomsoi glanced at me up and down for a moment, trailing off.
I was covered in dust because I practiced the shamanism so hard all the way here.
You might wonder who would spend money at such a high-class tea house, which is mainly frequented by high-ranking officials dressed politely.
Although I was slightly annoyed, I understood Jeomsoi’s situation, so I lightly gave him the money.
“Please take that seat.”
“Oh my! I’ll take good care of it! What are you all doing! Not serving the guests!”
It certainly seemed like the gold had a direct effect.
I was immediately guided to the window seat on the top floor, which had the best view of the outside.
Since I planned to sit around for quite some time, I ordered only the most expensive items on the menu and looked out the window.
‘Did you find out anything?’
The ghosts that had been scattered throughout the streets before coming to the tea house returned one by one.
“We have narrowed down the suspects, but we have not yet been able to pinpoint the individuals. If you could just give us a little more time-“
“It’s hard to tell the difference because there are so many people. But I’ve definitely sensed the magic, so if you give me a little more time-“
Even though the Sacheon region was a remote area, it was still central.
Traditionally, it refers to the realm of the political party.
Of course, the mines that roam around in such places would have hidden their energy well enough.
Fortunately, the faint scent of magic lingering here and there in the streets told me that they had not yet left Dosunghyeon.
Among this large crowd, there are believers of the Angmasinhwasang sect, and there are also those pursuing them.
‘It would be more comfortable if there was a warm horse.’
If you have keen eyesight and senses, you could filter out the mines more quickly and reliably, but it’s a shame you can’t.
“Let’s expand the scope.”
“Your name!”
“Your name!”
The ghosts quickly dispersed.
I looked down the street again.
We need to hurry up and find the believers.
I was afraid that there might be believers who died or were injured while I was away.
“The tea is here.”
I kept my purple eyes wide open while drinking the tea that Jeomso brought.
Iron Guanyin.
It was definitely an expensive car, but the scent made me feel more awake.
.
Time passed.
.
.
How much time has passed?
“There is a hidden watcher here!”
“The assassin uses stealth-“
The ghosts finally began to bring news, one by one. The first ones they found were the pursuers.
As expected, the pursuers mingled with the crowds, lurked on rooftops, and walked in groups as if they were out on a picnic.
At first glance, their appearance and direction were so different that it was difficult to see them as part of the same group.
‘Find out which direction they’re headed. There will be believers there. If there’s any hand signals being exchanged between them, find out about it as well.’
“I’ve already figured out a few things by looking closely at them.”
‘what?’
“Fortunately, the followers of the Mythical Sect seem to know that they are being pursued. They are constantly on guard against the pursuers, so it seems that they are not easily caught.”
‘How many believers do you think we have on our side?’
“I think there are about three.”
three.
It was a number that was neither too much nor too little.
‘What about the pursuers?’
“There are nine in total that have been discovered so far.”
“We suspect there are more, so we are expanding the search area!”
“And I’m not sure, but-“
‘But not?’
“One of them appears to be a Mine of the Old Sect.”
Old sect?
Something completely unexpected.
I thought that at most, the Black Bone Valley’s private investigators or the 72 Sects that are good at pursuit would come forward.
Are you saying that you came directly from the sect?
It was mind-blowing news.
‘The exact history is unknown?’
“The internal energy is so well-kept that it is difficult to gauge its depth.”
‘You said you were a master of Banbak Gwijin?’
“Yes. For now, that is what I think.”
The realm of the counterattack is reached only by experts who have surpassed the peak or are just beginning to glimpse it.
It refers to a state in which something is so outstanding that it appears ordinary.
It means that even if I fight with all my might while surrounding myself with an evil spirit warhead, it is a difficult opponent to defeat.
I felt like I needed to watch a little longer.
But one thing was certain.
―We have finally caught the tail of the traitor closest to the company.
I clenched my fist.
Save the believers and catch the tail.
I absolutely could not miss this opportunity.
Furthermore, even if the master of Banbakguijin had hidden his identity, it was not as if his identity was completely impossible to guess.
―Domabukhaejong (刀魔北海宗).
In that far northern region, beyond the deserts, grasslands, and even the great forests where nomads live, a frozen world filled only with icebergs and ice seas appears.
The Domabukhaejong were people who came from such a barren land.
Long ago, they were famous as the North Sea Ice Palace, but for unknown reasons, they were destroyed and flowed into Cheonsan.
The cold wind and chill they caused were so great that they froze the heavens and the earth like ice sheets, so they were ranked among the nine great sects shortly after entering Cheonsan.
In particular, the sacred substance, ice crystal, that Domabukhaejong possesses contains tremendous negative energy, so it was also the most essential material for refining the excellent Jiangshi of Heukgolguigok.
That is why the Black Bone Ghost has been a loyal watchdog to the Domabukhae Order for a very long time.
Since the list of traitorous sects mentioned by Baekgolmangsa included Domabukhaejong, it must be them.
‘The North Sea Jong was the one who planned to assassinate the Dark Lord. The other four Dark Ghosts left the shrine to greet them.’
I had been wondering how something like Heukgolgwigok could target the dark zone, but now it seems like it’s finally fitting in.
If it’s a North Sea species that has received support from the conference, it’s likely that it will target the Tang family.
I wondered if I should make a move right away, but decided to wait and see what happened a little longer.
If I had moved rashly, my identity could have been revealed to them.
If they were going to move, they had to rush in at once, rescue the believers, and eliminate the pursuers.
.
.
Then, time passed again.
Before I knew it, the sun was beginning to set outside.
The moon has risen.
It was night.
That was when.
“There’s no room? Is that what you’re saying now?”
“I’m sorry. As you can see, there are so many people outside… It’s not just our tea house that’s full of people. Other inns and tea houses in Dosunghyeon are probably in the same situation. Please understand.”
“Then what’s over there? Isn’t it taking up all the space by itself?”
The stairs were too noisy.
Of all the crowds I’ve observed so far, these are the ones with the most enormous history.
Naturally, my gaze turned in that direction.
Jeomsoi was struggling to stop a man and a woman from stubbornly climbing the stairs.
People who look similar to my age.
Judging by their attire, they looked like children from noble families who would snort or fart.
Just in case, I looked through the purple sky, but I couldn’t detect any magic from any of the three people.
It seemed like the guests just came to enjoy some tea.
So I was about to withdraw my attention and turn my gaze back to the window, when the man whose eyes had met mine for a moment snickered and stuck his unlucky face in my direction.
“Who is this? Isn’t this Unhwi from the Kowloon branch?”
The reincarnation demon temple
