Episode 91
Purity of mind
Dang Gyu-jin clenched his teeth as he looked at his hands and feet that were tied tightly.
‘Min Mae, are you okay? You should have met Hwi-ah by now-‘
There was a method of closing the veins that Yun Hui personally taught.
But I couldn’t help but be worried because it was a very dangerous situation where a little delay in starting could have resulted in a big problem.
After kidnapping Dang Gyu-jin and Sima Xian, Gu Min-chae held them captive in an uninhabited basement in the outskirts of Guryong County.
Dang Gyu-jin tried his best to drive out the poison that had taken hold of his body, but he could not decipher what kind of poison it was.
‘Even with my family’s knowledge, I can’t figure out what it is. It seems to be some kind of ice poison, but what exactly is it?’
Was the Demonic Cult’s Bukhae Jong a group that was this good at handling poison?
Since I had never heard such a story, my wariness of the Demonic Cult grew significantly.
“But… where on earth is the secret guard that Un-Hwi said he had attached?”
But the biggest problem was the absence of the secret escort who was supposed to show up and rescue them when the surroundings were quiet.
There was no sign of what had happened during the process, let alone any sound.
I told Sima Xian that he could just wait until the rescue team arrived… but was that really okay?
“Ki-ki-ki-ki! What the? Are you worried that the Demon King will get hurt while trying to save you? I told you! Your little brother can’t win even if a bunch of those devils come at him!”
‘…but.’
“How about you think about your circumstances first? The secret escort disappeared, too? We need to secure your safety first!”
‘… … .’
The blue mask burst into laughter. Then it suddenly stopped.
“Anyway, what are we going to do now? You’re not going to just sit around and wait for His Majesty the Demon King to show up, are you? Huh? That would be disappointing, right? Huh?”
The Demon King’s Majesty.
It seemed like someone had given Yun-Hwi a strange nickname again.
‘Unfortunately, that’s not my style.’
Unnecessary movements could easily interfere with Yun-hui’s activities, but Dang Gyu-jin thought that it was necessary to move more calmly instead.
If something really happened to the secret escort, we should have been the first ones to find him and help him.
No, I was sure.
It was clear that something had happened.
“That’s right. I hate that kind of thing too. If I had thought so lightly, I would have eaten you, right?”
‘That’s a bit scary, isn’t it?’
“Anyway, what are you going to do? Yeah?”
‘I’m curious about your opinion this time.’
“Huh?”
‘You were the one who brought this up first. Does that mean you have something in mind?’
“Wow! Is this how you pass the buck?”
The blue mask was ridiculous.
He was, after all, a secondary personality.
It was my role to help Dang Gyu-jin run wild and run harder, but you want me to change that overnight?
“You’re just a slacker. I’ve only learned bad things from hanging out with His Majesty the Demon King. You don’t have to learn those things.”
But despite the grumbling tone, there was a hint of amusement in it.
Asking for opinions also means respecting yourself.
‘Tell me anything you want.’
“Ahem ahem! Okay! If you ask me so earnestly, I will tell you my old man’s opinion. So first-“
Dang Gyu-jin quietly focused on Cheongsaekgwimyeon’s proposal.
Most of them were nonsense, but there were some useful ones among them.
Although they all did nothing but harm the body, they were very good moves for immediate use.
As I was organizing my thoughts, I saw Sima Xian, who had been quietly closing his eyes for a while now.
A look as if one is lost in meditation.
From the beginning until now, she has just been like this, without even moving an inch.
It was just then.
Flash!
Sima Xian suddenly opened his eyes.
The bright light split the sky so much that it gave the illusion that the basement, which had been poorly lit, had become brighter.
“…Sell it?”
Tang Gyu-jin felt strongly that there was an unapproachable aura about Sima Xian.
Magnolia.
It seemed to have a beautiful and gorgeous scent, just like her nickname.
‘The Blue Sky Sword Master!!’
Tang Gyu-jin could recall the head of the Sima clan he had met when he visited Cheonghwasanjang one day.
“It’s the scent of a sword.”
Incense?
“It’s a trace left by Confucius Unhwi. I found it.”
“!”
Dang Gyu-jin opened his eyes wide.
‘It’s definitely the secret escort that disappeared!’
It seems that the reason Sima Xian had remained silent all this time was because he was waiting for the missing secret escort to be detected.
Then, it might be possible to carry out the Blue Mask’s proposal.
“That incense stick, is it really nearby?”

“Yes, that’s right. But-”
Sima Xian hesitated for a moment and then said.
“I feel like I’m blocked by something. I feel like I can’t get any closer than a certain distance.”
As expected.
Something happened that prevented them from coming to them.
“Then, it might be because of the formation… If I can somehow get there, do you think I can find here? What do you think?”
“It’s not exact, but it’s something close to a monster, so I think it’s possible.”
Hearing the word ‘monster’ made me even more certain.
‘That’s the bird from back then.’
A monster that almost fell into his hands, but eventually pledged loyalty to Unhwi and was reborn as a monster.
“Okay, that’s enough.”
Dang Gyu-jin’s eyes sparkled.
“Just for a little while, I can press this poison.”
“!”
Sima Xian looked back at Tang Guizhen with surprised eyes.
“No. It’s too dangerous, Sister. Are you trying to force yourself to move your upper body?”
Sima Xian knew that just as he possessed the ability to smell the scent of swords, Tang Guijin also possessed a special spiritual root called the Blue Ghost Mask Root.
Both of them had special talents that were completely different from those of ordinary people, which is why they were able to become close friends so quickly at the Choksan Church.
“But other than this, there’s no other solution right now. You never know when the demons might come.”
“… … .”
“So, before I completely lose my mind, bring Un-Hwi here.”
Sima Xian smiled and eventually nodded heavily.
I read the weight of will contained in Dang Gyu-jin’s voice.
Continuing to ignore her determination as if it were impossible was nothing more than ignoring Dang Gyu-jin.
Dang Gyu-jin smiled and said it was okay.
And I closed my eyes.
‘…a mask.’
“Hehehehe! I said so, but are you really going to do this crazy thing? What if I end up taking over your body?”
‘No. That won’t happen. Unhwi will come to rescue you safely before that.’
“Ki-ki-ki-ki! Okay, let’s do it, let’s do it! It’ll be so much fun!!”
Tsk tsk tsk-
At that moment, a strange aura began to rise around Dang Gyu-jin, and blood vessels began to form in the corners of his eyes.
‘Master.’
She apologized to the Master’s Friendship Dojo, which was waiting for its only disciple to return from Mount Qingcheng.
‘I’ll use this power just this once.’
There was something the Friendship Dojo earnestly urged.
‘With the Cheonji Ilgimun, you can correct the evil desires that have taken root in your heart and maintain a pure heart, but as you live in the world of martial arts, there will be times when the temptation of power will try to take away your heart.’
‘What should I do in that case? Of course I have to endure it, right?’
‘No. At that time, I will calm down and follow the words of the basket.’
‘Huh? Then it won’t work? If I get eaten by the blue demon mask-‘
‘So he too must be on guard.’
‘?’
‘It is said that if water is too clear, there will be no fish. Just as fish cannot live in water that is too clean, thoughts cannot properly dwell in a mind that is too clean.’
‘!’
‘Don’t try too hard to maintain your composure. Sometimes, just go with the flow like water. Do what the basket tells you to do, and play along with what it tells you to play. And if you feel like you’ve gone too far, you can always come back.’
‘ah.’
‘Of course, if you mix them too much, the water will become too cloudy and it will be difficult to make it clear again, so you have to be careful.’
‘Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.’
‘I, the teacher, want to see your bright smile from the side forever.’
Dang Gyu-jin’s face turned pale to the point where it seemed as if he was going to die, and then suddenly his face became covered in blue veins.
Both eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, and there was no distinction between the pupils and the whites of the eyes, so it was a hideous sight, as if he were wearing a blue ghost mask.
At the same time, the ghostly energy that was leaking out explosively was so bizarre that it was hard to believe it was from someone who had just entered Taoism.
Strange and bizarre.
The new Dang Gyu-jin, who is a monster but not a monster, a superpower but not a superpower, a person but not a person, completely opened his eyes right here in this place.
Kkaaaaaa… … !
The blue mask that had been confined by the Heaven and Earth Diary has popped out.
“Hehehehehe! It’s out! It’s out! It’s my world!”
Knock, knock! Bam!
Yeonggeun resides in the upper chamber.
Of course, when the blue mask appears, it can move like this regardless of whether there is a point or not because it utilizes the energy of the upper abdomen.
It was a trigger for the upper body battle.
However, if this time is prolonged, there is a risk that a huge amount of stress will be placed on the upper body and the mind will be damaged.
Moreover, she is currently addicted to Shiksimbingdok.
This situation, which can place a huge burden on the body, is a factor that can make the aftereffects more serious.
So, Dang Gyu-jin was willing to move, risking his life and possibly even losing all of his internal energy.
It means that you may fall, but you will never kneel.
That was the spirit of righteousness she had learned from Tangmun and Cheongseong!
Sima Xian was startled by the sight, but then regained his composure.
Dang Gyu-jin said he would take care of it.
If so, I had to make good use of this opportunity.
Kukookung!
Just then an earthquake shook the manor’s basement.
At the same time, an increasingly stronger sword scent was detected.
It means that Yun-Hwi has entered the top rank.
This was the perfect time, when the Mines were not paying attention to this side.
‘Where is it? Where is the monster’s location-‘
The underground warehouse they were trapped in was surrounded by an unknown formation, making it difficult to gain a complete sense of direction.
Perhaps the monsters that have the scent of Yunhwi’s sword are wandering around, unable to find their exact location because of this.
So, even if I couldn’t completely escape the formation, I could easily get out of this place if I could just regain my sense of direction.
Fortunately, Sima Xian had the talent to roughly read the flow of the formation based on the scent of the sword.
A place where the scent of the sword does not flow properly and just goes around and around.
That was Jinchuk.
And beyond.
Besides the monster, there was another, very weak, new owner of the sword scent.
‘Min-ah!’
It was Yoo Su-min.
They came to rescue themselves while they were injured.
After Dang Gyu-jin, now Yoo Su-min.
All three of them were of one mind and one heart.
Comradeship.
Sima Xian shouted, forcing himself to swallow his pent-up emotions.
“It’s on the top left, sis!!”
At that moment, Dang Gyu-jin drew down hard on the sword with only his index and middle fingers.
Choaack!
The space was torn apart.
The reincarnation demon temple
