How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 61
Chapter 15. Party Agreement (2)
To put it nicely, Dokjeonbang was a sect of Sapha, but to put it badly, it was just a sect of bad guys from the neighborhood who gathered to show off their strength.
Although those who have learned martial arts have gathered here and there, most of them are third-rate, and even the arks are second-rate at best.
For such a dokjeonbang, the visit of a top expert was like a natural disaster.
“Daehyeop Tang… … Didn’t you come and go before?”
“That’s right. But I’ll only be careful when I come to visit you. Sometimes, I’ll have to make a surprise visit like this to give you some tension in your lax awareness. Don’t you think so too?”
Of course, Dokjeonbangju thought so too.
If only I wasn’t the one being targeted!
It was not unusual for an expert to speak correctly and cause one to explode with anger.
After tormenting the poison den like that, Danggon soon kicked open the poison den’s door with a refreshed face.
The entrance to the poison room, which had been half-ruined by the first blow, was now completely reduced to a rag.
“Hey, you guys, change the door. It’s tattered.”
“Understood. Next time, I’ll make a door strong enough that it won’t break even if a master comes and kicks it… …!”
“Are you saying this as if you really don’t want me to come?”
“… … .”
The poison eater did not use his skills.
Although he says this half-jokingly, Danggon never lets anyone who climbs on him get away with it.
For example, there was a rumor that a nearby Sapa lord was beaten to death after he became so angry that he resisted.
“Then I’ll go. Take care. Don’t harass the people too much. Even if you collect protection taxes, don’t do it too excessively.”
“Okay, I see.”
“There is no need to see me off.”
“I won’t do it!”
Danggon snickered and led Zhuge Xuanmong and Dang Hwaryeong out of the Dokjeonbang.
As they walked to the nearby village where the carriage was parked, Jegal Hyunmong asked.
“Wasn’t he going to look for a monster?”
“That’s right. But while you’re at it, wouldn’t it be nice to do some side activities as well? It’s all for your benefit, too.”
“Oh, I see. I understand.”
“I don’t get it at all, can you explain it to me?”
When Tang Hua Ling asked with a sullen expression, Zhuge Xuan Mong explained.
“Didn’t the Great Swordsman Dang-gon tell me before, ‘Even if it’s a false reputation, it can’t be avoided?’ However, that reputation can cause unnecessary trouble, so if you show your closeness by negotiating with the people of Sacheondangga, you can prevent unnecessary trouble.”
“Haha! I don’t know if I said that, but it’s true. He really deserves the last name Zhuge!”
“But then wouldn’t it be possible for someone who owes a favor to the Sacheondang family to be targeted?”
In response to Jegal Hyunmong’s question, Danggon nodded and answered.
“That may be true. But if he tries to harm us because he is close to the Sacheondang family, he must be a very unprincipled person. Then, wouldn’t it be okay?”
“… … .”
Anyway, Danggon’s negotiations continued.
It wasn’t always just about catching and beating up a bunch of Sapas.
“It looks like a simple cold. Since you have a bad cough, if you boil licorice and Ophiopogon japonicus and drink it often, you’ll feel better. Oh, and for bruises and cuts, go to the doctor over there. He said that the medicine he made called Muhugo is good for wounds.”
“The name is not Muhugo.”
“It’s already too late, so accept it. I heard that the council members near Seongdo are already asking Daeryongpyo-guk to find out if they can save Muhugo.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong applied medicine to the villagers with a shit-chewing expression.

After a while.
Jegal Hyunmong and his party, who had been going around several villages to discuss matters, were finally able to arrive at the village that Danggon had mentioned.
“Now that I’ve come to the village of Musung, I should start preparing.”
As he spoke, Danggon handed something to Zhuge Xuanmong.
“0This is… …?”
“Anti-toxin. Nana and Hwaryeong are fine, but if you don’t take it, you could get poisoned.”
Jegal Hyunmong chewed the antidote with a trembling expression.
The saints are wide.
Although it is the center of Sacheon, it quickly becomes quiet as soon as you leave the city center.
There were even cases where people lived in the same city but ended their lives without ever visiting a nearby village.
“They say that originally, this village of Museong had many herbalists. There are many high-quality and rare herbs in a place called Museongsan.”
“So it will last longer.”
Danggon nodded at Dang Hwa-ryeong’s words.
“Actually, the poison hasn’t been that serious yet. But I heard it’s getting worse.”
“Hmm. What kind of poison is it?”
“Well. I can’t say for sure since it must have come down mixed with the mountain air… … It was definitely a different kind of poison that was hard to find anywhere else. It’s also hard to judge if it’s mixed with demonic energy. At a time when I had no other choice, I heard that you were hanging out with someone called Muhujaerim, who has been getting a lot of attention recently. I came here because I thought it was worth it.”
“I can’t guarantee that I can solve it.”
Tang Hualing smiled faintly at Zhuge Xuanmong’s words.
“You don’t have to worry. When that guy Zhuge Liang says something like that, nine times out of ten, the problem is solved.”
“No, if you keep saying that, aren’t strange rumors spreading?”
I heard a strange rumor while attending the Tang Family Council.
There was a rumor that Zhuge Liang, who harbored resentment over her failure to unify the Three Kingdoms, had been reincarnated and was aiming to unify the martial arts world this time, in order to fulfill the dream she was unable to achieve in her lifetime.
Even Zhuge Xuanmong, who was trained in strange rumors, couldn’t help but feel astonished when he first heard that.
“By the way, I can see some houses now.”

As Danggon spoke like that, he entered the village.
Despite the daylight, the village was quiet and there was very little traffic. Almost every house had its doors tightly shut, and there were gold ropes or talismans attached to the front doors.
Danggon frowned when he saw that.
“… … It’s gotten worse than before.”
The fact that they did this to the entire village, not just one or two places, means that there was a serious illness in the village and that some people even died.
“First, I need to find out what happened.”
As he said that, Danggon headed for the village chief’s house in his carriage.
“Daehyeop Tang! You’re really back.”
“I didn’t promise. I said I’d be back soon. But… … The village has become a lot more deserted while I was away.”
The slightly sallow old man spoke with a sigh.
“Even after the Great Leader of the Party left, the poison still did not go away. Even though we were able to hold out somehow by using the antidotes and herbs that you mentioned, in the end, there were those who could not hold out and those who left.”
“At that point, wouldn’t it be better to abandon the village?”
The village chief smiled bitterly at Dang Hwa-ryeong’s question.
“It’s difficult for people like us. To abandon our homes and go far away.”
“hmm.”
Jegal Hyeonmong also inwardly agreed with the village chief’s words.
Originally, it was common for ordinary people not to stray far from their village from the time they were born until they died.
Because going far away is in itself a matter of securing one’s survival.
Even in Seongdo, it is the same. Although it is the center of Sacheon, aren’t there many places that are a little further away and untouched by the government?
“Don’t worry. This scholar here is a person who has recently become famous as the ‘Muhou Jaerim.’ He is very intelligent and has mysterious talents, so he will definitely be able to help you solve this problem.”
“Oh, are you really Empress Dowager?”
“Yes. That’s what it’s called. So… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong took the old man’s withered hand.
“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to resolve this matter.”
‘What’s that guy?’
Tang Hua Ling opened his eyes slightly wide at the rare sight of Zhuge Xuan Mong responding to the nickname of the Return of the Emperor without a fit of a fit.
“Then it is good, village chief. If there is an empty house in the village, I think I will stay there today. I will rest for today and start solving the problem in earnest tomorrow.”
“Oh, before that.”
At Danggon’s words, Jegal Hyeonmong raised his hand.
“Could you help me out a little?”
“Help me? What?”
“I am trying to set up a system.”
Ever since he entered the village of Wusheng, Jegal Hyeonmong had been increasing his magical power.
It wasn’t that there was any particular threat, but rather that it was used to receive and interpret various information through magic.
“I’m not an expert on poisons. So I can’t detoxify them… … but if we set up a method, we can at least filter out the poison coming down from the mountain.”
“… … Is that possible?”
“Is it true?”
Since it was a family that dealt with poison, Danggon and Danghwaryeong reacted greatly.
If it were possible to filter or contain the venomous energy, where else would it be used as effectively as in the Sacheondangga?
“Yes. Let’s try that first.”
“Are you going to try?”
While Dang-gon was wondering, Jegal Hyun-mong closed his eyes and raised his magic wand.
It creates a sharp sword of magic power and cuts away useless energy.
As I cut it in half, and cut it again, I could clearly see that there was something foreign in the air.
‘Is this poison?’
A feeling that is somewhat hot and sticky, unlike the general feeling.
When I took a deep breath, a speck of poison, the size of a dust particle, entered my lungs.
At first, the amount is so small that you may not even feel any symptoms, but humans are beings who breathe continuously.
It was a structure that inevitably led to addiction as time passed.
‘But now that we know what the poison is, filtering it out isn’t difficult.’
Jegal Hyunmong lightly waved his magic wand.
From the magical power at the end, two spells were drawn.
One was a spell to filter out poison. The other was a spell to blow wind.
Within seconds, the two rings began to rotate, and the different spells became naturally intertwined as if they had been one from the beginning.
The moment I lightly lowered my magic wand, a breeze-like energy swept through the room.
“… … !”
Danggon was surprised.
First of all, the wind really blew in an empty room.
And secondly.
“… … The venom has really disappeared.”
As Dang Hwa-ryeong said, the poison that had been piled up heavily in the room was swept away by the wind.
Even if it was Sacheondangga, no one would have imagined that they would handle poison in such a way.
The two Sachondangga people looked at Jegal Hyeonmong with astonishment, but Jegal Hyeonmong had an indifferent expression.
“Thank you for your help. I guess it’s true since the Sacheondang people are talking like that. Then I’ll use this to set up a formation in the village.”
Danggon thought.
‘Isn’t this guy really the reincarnation of Empress Wu?’
