Side Story Episode 1
Demon Dragon Comes Out
As the warm spring breeze blew, warming her body, which had been shivering all winter, the old woman went out carrying a small bundle on her shoulder.
It looked very precarious as he took one step at a time, relying on a thin cane, but he continued to move forward.
It’s too late to say that.
She was exhausted after walking a distance that would take a healthy person no matter how slowly she walked, and when she saw her destination, she gathered the cane in her hand and her failing heart.
‘a little bit. little bit more… … .’
But that was it.
Although the frail cane held up, the old woman’s weak body could not.
My legs lost strength and my body collapsed forward.
That’s when my vision goes dark and I’m about to hit my face on the ground.
“Anyway, old people.”
A cold strong wind blew along with a clear voice.
The wind gently enveloped the old woman and lifted her upright.
She blinked in surprise at the sudden occurrence, and belatedly noticed the person standing next to the work leader.
“ah!”
He was a handsome young man, tall and with impressive wall eyes.
However, the old woman, who had experienced all kinds of ups and downs while living in a rough world, paid more attention to the young man’s appearance than his appearance.
A luxurious red robe with a subtle luster and several weapons worn at the waist.
It was clear to anyone that he was a martial artist from a prestigious family.
How could she, who is just a village villager, treat such a noble person so lightly?
I was breathing heavily and stuttering.
“Ho, did Confucius save this old man?”
“But.”
“Oh my. Thank you, I really appreciate it.”
The old woman bent her back again and again.
It was hard to stand still, but I had to do it.
It was the way the powerless treated the powerful.
The young man frowned, as if he didn’t like that.
“You’re taking too much for something that doesn’t matter. “Do you think I’m a vicious Madura?”
“My wife, these words are extremely unfair. “Is that possible?”
When the old woman didn’t know what to do, the young man tilted his head and agreed.
“but. “No matter how ruthless he is, would he commit a heinous act near Kunlun Mountain?”
“Oh, it’s okay. “Of course.”
“Okay then.”
In the blink of an eye, the young man disappeared.
The old woman barely held back the scream that was about to burst out of her mouth, looked around, and then let out a long sigh.
“Whoa.” “I wonder why they say there is anything more to be surprised or scared of at this age.”
If I do this, I have lived enough to live.
Isn’t that why you came here last?
There are only a few steps left to reach the destination.
I tried to take a step, pointing to the ground with my cane.
“omg!”
Did I really buy everything?
The body collapsed again.
And just like before, a cold strong wind blew along with a clear voice.
“I knew it would be like this.”
“ah!”
The old woman did not fall.
The young man who suddenly appeared held out his palm, and the strong wind that poured from his palm gently enveloped her and made her stand upright.
The young man scolded the old woman for being so dumbfounded that she could not say anything.
“You have to think about your age. “The merchant went like this and almost got himself killed again.”
“S-sorry. If you’re old, you’ll die gracefully, with this tact… … .”
“If you’re sorry, please get healthy. “Where are you going?”
“Hey, it’s over there.”
The old woman raised her trembling hand and pointed straight ahead.
The young man looked at Kunlun Mountain and the old woman in turn and was bewildered.
“You want to climb a mountain? “Are you crazy?”
“Well, that’s not it, just that stone statue at the beginning of Kunlun Mountain… … .”
“ah. That one in front of the foreman? “You won’t even be able to go halfway and cross the Samdo River.”
The young man scratched his head and then nodded.
“Come to think of it, I just passed by. Now that I’m here, I have to see everything properly. song.”
“Are you going?”
The puzzled old woman opened her eyes wide.
It felt like the wind was blowing, but didn’t I find myself in front of a stone statue?
The young man released his arm from around the old woman’s waist and looked at the statue with an interested expression.
And then he clicked his tongue.
“It looks like it was carved to show a large goat carrying an old man, but the workmanship is terrible. “There are no such things as hideous things.”

The old woman was embarrassed by the young man’s harsh criticism and apologized.
“sorry. “We don’t have much, so let’s stop.”
“yes?”
The old woman put her hands together politely towards the young man.
“Muryangsubul.” Thanks to Confucius, this old man was able to fulfill his last wish. “I will never forget this grace, even if I die.”
“I refuse to come to you as a ghost. “Is this really your wish?”
“That’s right. To be precise, I am uploading this and wishing blessings.”
The old woman unwrapped the small bundle she was carrying on her shoulder.
Inside were various fruits and sprouts.
She laid them down neatly in front of the statue, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
I couldn’t tell what was going on inside, but his expression and atmosphere seemed very reverent.
The young man watched silently and asked the old woman as soon as she opened her eyes.
“What is this goat? “Do Taoists also worship this kind of thing?”
The old woman must have felt at ease after resolving the problem and explained calmly without giving the young man any trouble.
“It’s not a goat, it’s a mountain goat. “She is the nanny of Soshinseon, who is called Jinokryong (true dragon) in the world.”
Although twenty years have already passed since he disappeared, who in the world does not know about Jin Ok-ryong, who is considered the best person in the world and the best person in all times?
The young man’s eyes widened slightly.
“The goat that Jinyuryong was said to have nursed when he was young? “No matter how you look at it, it’s a goat.”
“It could be misunderstood that this is a crude stone statue made by people like me who are indebted to this person, saving only a few pennies.”
“Hmm. I guess he died in the end. Still, I bought too much for a mountain goat.”
“no. “He is old and cannot climb mountains, but he is still alive.”
“yes? Then why don’t you go up and give it to me yourself… … ah. I see Just looking at it, it’s bound to be like this since you’re doing it today and tomorrow.”
The old woman smiled faintly.
It seemed like he was acknowledging and calmly accepting that he didn’t have much time left to live.
The young man watched her for a moment and then spoke.
“But still. Let’s make it a little more dignified and have the elderly ride in it. “It’s so unsightly.”
“There was also an idea to create an image of rescuing many charlatans in a huge cart during the Battle of Jeongma. Still, for simpletons like us, the sight of God carrying the old and sick on his back and climbing up and down the rugged Kunlun Mountain touched our hearts even more. Fortunately, the Kunlun immortals were also very happy.”
The young man was impressed.
“Oh oh. It looks like the Kunlun faction is a real political faction. “If it were me, I would have completely destroyed the person who made the statue.”
“… … !”
The old woman’s complexion, which had been pale for a moment, returned to its original state.
A strange look appeared in the young man’s eyes when he saw that.
“You were scared, but you quickly regained your composure. “Have you learned any special mind techniques?”
“How dare someone like me?”
The old woman smiled and continued speaking.
“The more I interact with Confucius, the more I think of Soshinseon. “He was a bit harsh in his words, but his actions were very warm.”
“… … !”
The corners of the young man’s mouth went up as high as possible and then forced down as if he was trying to save face.
However, the round eyes could not be corrected.
“hmm. hmm. I did resemble him. No, it might be closer to a rubbing.”
“… … .”
Is there a young warrior who does not admire the True Jade Dragon and make it his idol?
As the young man tried to hide his joy and showed off, the old woman smiled happily and agreed.
“They are very similar. Soshinseon will be very happy to see Confucius.”
“is it so? “Do you really think so?”
“Of course… … .”
The old woman could not finish her sentence.
Didn’t they fall from the sky or rise from the ground? People in black suddenly appeared like ghosts and surrounded her and the young man, pouring out horrifying murderous acts!
Is it possible for an ordinary villager to endure living like this?
The old woman was completely stunned and collapsed.
The young man quickly hugged her before she fell and growled at the people in black.
“Look at these? Show your teeth to me? You wanna die?”
“… … !”
It was a world away from the atmosphere I had when dealing with the old woman.
The young man’s eyes, which had turned dark blue, contained a tremendous sense of intimidation that overwhelmed people.
However, the people in black did not retreat even though their whole bodies were slightly trembling.
That wasn’t all.
An older man with a large sword on his back and a face full of stab wounds gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
“Confucius, do you really want to die? “What if I go alone first?”
“I’m telling you to follow me quickly. “You guys should blame them for being slow, why are you doing this to me?”
The older man glared at the young man and warned him.
“Just this once. “If something like this happens again, I won’t sit by and watch.”
The young man grabbed the old woman’s veins and inhaled his inner energy, then smiled, showing his teeth.
“What? Hey, Dan Seong-oh. What are you going to do if you don’t stay still? Attack in droves? Should I smash your jaw and make you swallow nothing but porridge for the rest of your life?”
The older man called Dan Seong-oh answered with his eyes shining.
“Didn’t you already destroy it twenty years ago?”
“They don’t grind it down so that only the bone powder remains, so you can chew at least some tofu. “It means they will make you completely unable to use your teeth.”
Jangnyeonin’s spirit was completely lost.
“Please keep in mind that this advice is for the safety of Confucius. “If that happens again, I will contact Soje.”
The young man distorted his face and grumbled.
“What is Sojeer? She is more like a nagging woman than a yaksha. She wondered if things would get better if she got married, so why is there no progress even though she encouraged it so much? No, so does the other person. “You have to touch her palms to make a sound.”
The young man turned his arrow at Dan Seong-oh.
“It’s already been more than ten years since the head of your family passed away, right?”
“exactly.”
“But why are you doing that? “If you look closely, it’s not like you don’t have any feelings, so why are you acting like a bully?”
It was not Dan Seong-oh who answered.
He was an older man with a handsome face, wearing a fancy green robe and carrying a long sword at his waist.
“Why do you punish the wrong person when you know it’s because of political issues?”
The young man frowned and waved his hand.
“Yeon Gyu-seo, I didn’t ask you, so why did you come forward?”
“It is to remind us of the purpose of Confucius’s coming out despite the numerous opposition. He left first to quickly climb Mt. Kunlun, but I wonder what he was doing. “Let’s go.”
“ah. “It was like that.”
The young man lightly carried the old woman he was holding.
The older man called Yeon Gyu-seo twitched his eyebrows.
“Confucius.”
“It’s loud, it’s my heart.”
“Then let someone else carry you.”
“That’s my opinion too. “If this old man wakes up, he will be scared again, so stay away.”
The young man walked up the mountain path, carrying the old woman on his back.
Yeon Gyu-seo looked at him with a stern expression and sent a message to Dan Seong-oh.
-How can I stop that whim? If this continues, something big will happen. It may be difficult, but please take care of me, Captain Lee.
-Do not worry, Yeon Sogaju, as that is the mission of the main unit.
When Dan Seong-oh gestured, the new form of the people in black disappeared.
At least he began to escort the young man, hiding himself so as not to be noticed by the old woman.
The young man smiled and walked away.
How far did it go like that?
When the old woman came to her senses, she was shocked to find out that the young man had carried her on her back.
“Oh my gosh. Go, Confucius. Why are you carrying me?”
“While I’m away, I want to make your wish come true.”
“You mean right?”
“What do I do if I pray to a stone statue or something like that for 100 days? You have to meet in person. “Get blessings from the monks and go without regrets.”
“No way!”
The old woman turned her head and checked her surroundings.
A magnificent scenery filled my field of vision.
It was Kunlun Mountain that I had always wanted to climb again before I died, but had never even dreamed of climbing it.
Hot teardrops flowed from the old woman’s eyes.
“Ugh. Thank you, Confucius.”
“You just need to know.”
“Kunlun Mountain is very high and rugged… … .”
“I add more to my house.”
“Wow, the Primordial Heavenly Father will bestow great blessings. Sobbing.”
“It was a creditless slip like that. Would you turn your head and cry? “Tears are falling on the back of my neck and I feel uncomfortable.”
The old woman quickly lifted her sleeve and wiped away her tears.
“We must not cause such trouble to Confucius, who has given us a favor higher than heaven. sorry.”
“Stop crying and laughing. That way, the goat nanny will also like it.”
The wrinkles on the old woman’s face became deeper.
“That’s right. That’s a fair statement. “It’s still winter on the mountain, so I’m sure the mountain lord, who would have only eaten dry blades of grass, would be happy if I offered him fruits and buds with a smiling face.”
“… … !”
The young man’s eyes wavered.
No matter how sacred the mountain goat was, it was not because it was given the name Sangun, which is a title for a tiger.
The old woman soon noticed too and made a sad expression.
The mountain goat was happy and left food in front of the stone statue.
The young man smiled awkwardly and explained his theory.
“ha ha ha. A sincere heart is more important than material things like gifts. “Isn’t that right?”
The old woman also smiled brightly.
Thanks to my benefactor, I was able to climb Mt. Kunlun, but how can I be considered human if I regret such trivial things?
“No problem. This is truly true. “Thanks to Confucius, I am now able to convey my heart to the mountains and immortals, and I am sure the Primordial Heavenly Father will be pleased.”
Her voice was small, but filled with deep sincerity.
The young man raised one hand to scratch his cheek and asked as he passed by.
“But. He will be very happy when he sees me. Are you sure?”
“You mean him? ah! “Are you talking about So Shin-seon?”
The young man silently agreed.
The old woman recalled Soshinseon, whom she had met several times a long time ago, and strongly affirmed.
“Yes, I’m sure you will.”
“Hehe. “I knew that would happen.”
When the young man was happy, the old woman was also happy.
I searched through my mind, which had become blurred with age, and pulled out every single memory related to Soshinseon.
“That peak is called Chuunbong (秋雲峰), and it is said that Soshin-seon often stopped by because there were quite a lot of tender-fleshed deer.”
“Oh oh. Kunlun Sect, it’s a much more open place than I thought.”
“If you go up here, you will see where the monkeys live. “The skills of those guys in making huaju (猴兒酒) are excellent, and the scenery is also beautiful, so I heard that Sosin-seon went there and enjoyed it whenever he got the chance.”
“indeed. You have known pungryu since you were young. Ah, that’s what a man should do.”
The two people, who were very different in age, gender, and social status, climbed Mount Kunlun, laughing and chatting in unison.
However, if there is a beginning, there must be an end.
As the snow that had not yet melted increased, a huge, mysterious gate appeared, shrouded in thick fog.
The young man walked towards that place and asked the old woman.
“It’s time to break up. “Go somewhere nice and get some rest.”
Tears welled up in the old woman’s eyes.
“thank you. “I hope that many good things happen to you, Confucius.”
“Of course I should.”
The young man shook his head and stopped walking.
He then took down the old woman he was carrying and handed it to the two elderly monks guarding Iljumun Gate.
“I brought you here because you were feeling unwell. “I think he’ll be leaving soon, so please take care of him.”
The monks also recognized the old woman’s condition at a glance.
He politely bowed to the young man and took care of the old woman.
At that time, the young man looked to one side and gestured.
“Gyuseo, what are you doing there? Why hide that behind? “If you brought it, you should give it to me.”
A handsome older man wearing a fancy green robe suddenly appeared from the fog and stared at the young man.
The young man asked with a puzzled look.
“What else?”
“That’s it. “It’s nothing.”
Yeon Gyu-seo approached the old woman and held out something.
The old woman was surprised to see what it was.
Isn’t this a bag full of various fruits and sprouts that we left at the bottom of the mountain after working hard for several days to gather them?
“This is… … .”
“I picked it up and put it in without missing anything, so you can rest assured.”
The old woman hastily denied it.
“It’s not that, I’m so sorry that I don’t know what to do with this…” … .”
Yeon Gyu-seo smiled brightly and blamed the young man.
“Our Confucius is not very attentive in many ways, so I followed him to take care of him, so please don’t mind.”
The young man rolled his eyes and the old woman bowed her back.
“Thank you, thank you very much.”
“no. Please proceed carefully.”
The slender Taoist monk, who had been watching Yeon Gyu-seo closely until then, gave instructions to the square-jawed Taoist monk.
“Priest, take Dou and go in. “I will take care of the other precious guests.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
The square-jawed monk glanced at the young man and Yeon Gyu-seo, then disappeared carrying the old woman on his back.
The slim Taoist monk, who was left alone, looked at the guests in turn and smiled.
“You really did a great job. Bindo (貧道) is called Seonghan (貧道). Do you guys have any business at the main office?”
The young man grinned.
“Sure.”
Seonghan asked, still smiling.
“Is there a problem?”
“There’s no need to force yourself to smile and waste time. Why are you so guarded?”
The smile on Seonghan’s face disappeared as if washed away.
“When Do-woo, who came with me, came out of hiding, I felt a very faint but familiar energy.”
“I wonder what you’re saying.”
Seonghan spoke clearly, word by word.
“It is the magical energy that dyed the main mountain with blood twenty years ago.”
The young man clapped his hands in admiration.
“Hey, is that what I said before I came here? After all, Kunlun is not an ordinary person.”
Yeon Gyu-seo sighed softly.
“Is that something you would enjoy?”
“Why are you suddenly using polite language?”
“Because it has no choice but to be like that. You said you would just look around, but what is this? Kunlun’s response is quick. “Don’t they notice right away and come rushing in?”
just as expected.
A middle-aged Taoist monk with a sturdy physique was running at speed, leading several Taoist monks.
But the young man touched his hands without even blinking.
“It’s okay, it actually went well. Because it’s more fun when it’s noisy. Right, Seong-oh?”
“Never, never.”
Dan Seong-oh broke through the fog and gave a heavy command.
“Mukyeongdae (黙影隊) two groups (二組), heaven and earth protection station (天地守護小陣) unfold!”
“Jonmyeong!”
People in black appeared at once and surrounded the young man.
Demonic energy flowed out from all over their bodies and enveloped their arms.
The middle-aged Taoist monk hurriedly stopped at some distance and looked at Jin.
Soon his eyes sank deeply.
“That’s great Jin. Plus, Mukyeongdae. It’s clearly an organization that protects the leader of the Demonic Cult… … .”
At that moment, something amazing happened.
Jeoljin, who had surrounded his arms with thick magic energy and showed off his iron power, was broken.
And that too from the inside.
“Damn it!”
Dan Seong-oh, the leader of Mukyeongdae, threw the great sword he was holding on the floor and shouted.
“What if you push the crew out and come out!”
The young man shrugged his shoulders.
“Didn’t you just hear that? “We have to consider what needs to be discussed.”
“What on earth… … .”
“Please listen quietly.”
The young man glared at the middle-aged Taoist and raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s good that you didn’t attack me, but you’re rude.”
The middle-aged Taoist monk asked calmly.
“What do you mean?”
“There is definitely a good name, but it’s called Demon Cult. “Would you be happy if I told you that the Kunlun Sect was actually a place where Taoist monks gather to secretly eat meat and drink alcohol?”
“… … !”
How dare you suddenly appear in someone else’s clan and give such a terrible insult!
The Taoists opened their eyes and used their swords, but it only lasted for a moment.
“Muryangsubul.”
As the middle-aged Taoist monk softly muttered a Taoist spell, everyone took a deep breath and calmed down their anger.
The young man who watched this pursed his lips and whistled.
“Your discipline is amazing. “It would be difficult if other political factions did this too.”
The middle-aged Taoist stared at the young man and slowly wrapped his arms around him.
“I’m the one who was rude first, so I apologize. “I’m sorry for using the title we used when we were alone.”
The young man also responded in return.
“You don’t just have a good personality. Who are you?”
“It’s called Jeongwoo.”
“ah! “Nice to meet you.”
“Do you know?”
“Sure. “You are Ambassador Jeong Ja-bae.”
“It’s unfair. This side doesn’t know you. I’m sure he’s not the head of the Heavenly Demon God. “Who is it?”
“Mukyeongdae not only guards the sect leader, but also the small sect leader.”
Jeongwoo’s eyes widened.
“For some reason, it was inside a wall. “It was Seomrang (閃郞), something I only heard about a long time ago.”
“That’s a childhood nickname.”
The young man smiled and introduced himself.
As the introduction continued, Jeongwoo’s mouth opened wider.
“I am Hyeokryeon Jincheon, a minor leader of the Heavenly Demon Church and a descendant of the great Heavenly God Reformers who have ruled the Heavenly Demon Island for a long time.”
