How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 88
Chapter 19. Asceticism (3)
‘It’s like a maze. And there are a lot of traps.’
Zhuge Xuanmong was amazed.
None other than the malice of the person who made the remark.
Rather than simply being created to block access, it felt like there was an intention to kill anyone who entered.
“I have a question. Mr. Cheon Gi-ja, have you had many enemies?”
“Well, fortune telling doesn’t always lead to good results. And there were rumors that he had quite a bit of wealth… … Now that I think about it, nothing is known about what happened to Cheon Gi-ja in his later years.”
‘I see.’
Jegal Xuanmong understood why there were so many traps in Bigo.
Most of the traps were designed to be reusable, as if they had anticipated that they would arrive in large quantities at once.
‘It even seems like there’s some magic involved.’
Not only is there the organ training method, but there are also sorcery methods that even Jegal Hyunmong doesn’t know, so it would be impossible for ordinary people to escape.
Jegal Xuanmong looked at Cheon Yeo-hyang.
‘Even if he is a top-class expert, it seems dangerous.’
No matter how great a person’s instincts are, they are not invincible.
“Zhuge Liang?”
“… … I will also come with you.”
“yes!?”
Cheon Yeo-hyang was surprised.
Because he is one of the few people who knows the true nature of Jegal Hyeonmong.
A person who doesn’t come close to danger. It was quite unexpected to hear him say such a thing.
“No, it’s dangerous to be inside the building.”
“It’s dangerous, so I have to go with you. Jang Bo-do is not only a map of Vigo’s location, but also serves as a map of the inside. As I just saw, it’s full of traps, so if you don’t know about it, you’ll fall for it.”
“Then why don’t you just let me know?”
“Okay. Then I’ll explain. When you first enter and take about twenty steps, you will be caught in the formation. It is a type of pre-form that blocks your senses and hinders your cognitive ability, and it is structured so that if you make a wrong move, you will definitely fall into the trap. To avoid this, you must step while repeating the directions of Geon, Gam, Son, Gam, Tae, and Jin in the Bagua. After repeating that seven times, you must step in the order of Gam, Son, Gan, Tae, Gon, and Geon. Do you remember?”
“Can you please write it down?”
“If you wait a month, I’ll write it down for you. There are that many traps.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang sighed.
By then, won’t everything be over?
Still.
“You’re not the type of person who enjoys taking risks, so why do you insist on going?”
“Well, if Cheon Yeo-hyeop disappears in Bigo, wouldn’t the ties to the Murim Alliance disappear?”
“… … .”
Cheon Yeo-hyang looked at Jegal Hyeon-mong for a moment, then smiled brightly.
How could that be?
Cheon Yeo-hyang could guess why Jegal Hyunmong said such things.
“I think I misunderstood Zhuge Liang a little bit. It would be natural for Zhuge Liang, who harbors a great sense of justice, to just let something like this happen.”
‘Why is there a sudden change in opinion there?’
There was another reason why Jegal Hyunmong wanted to accompany Cheon Yeo-hyang.
Because this incident somehow felt like it was aimed at me.
And the person targeting you is most likely a devil.
‘It’s strange not to get noticed.’
A long sword that only those who have mastered sorcery can master.
Lee Jun came to the interview room at Daeryongpyoguk.
In many ways, Ma-noe was luring Jegal Hyunmong with Cheon Gi-ja’s remarks.
‘And the intensity is getting stronger.’
If Jegal Hyunmong doesn’t pay attention to Cheon Gija’s remarks, he might cause an even bigger incident next time.
In that case, it would be better to get Cheon Yeo-hyang’s cooperation and find out what exactly he is up to.
“So, what to do next has been decided.”
“What is it?”
“Shouldn’t we interrogate the mine we just caught and find out what it’s up to?”
* * *
Lee Jun was locked in the warehouse of Daeryongpyo-guk with his hands and feet tied and gagged.
‘How did it end up like this?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
It was just a light mission.
The mission is to infiltrate Daeryongpyo-guk, approach Aesong-i, nicknamed Muhujaerim, and secretly lure her to Bigo.
For him, Lee Jun moved very meticulously.
He threw a corpse containing a Jang Bo-do into the Daeryongpyo-guk’s parade, and knowing that Daeryongpyo-guk was recruiting large numbers of personnel, he also helped to select them.
‘Muhou Jaerim is a sorcerer. Of course, he had to know Jang Bodo.’
A sorcerer is always thirsty for new knowledge.
Besides, don’t you say he has quite a bit of debt?
It was not difficult to predict that Jegal Hyunmong would take a keen interest in Cheon Gija’s notes, if only to repay that debt.
Since they have been on the road to success so far, they calculated that even if they knew there was some kind of conspiracy, they wouldn’t hesitate.
‘I prepared this much, so why did it turn out like this… …!’
Actually, the answer was simple.
Jegal Hyunmong was one step ahead of Lee Jun.

But I just didn’t want to admit it.
Yeah, yeah-
The warehouse door opened and Jegal Hyunmong and Cheon Yeo-hyang appeared.
“See you again, Prince Lee Jun.”
“Eww!”
Lee Jun mumbled because the gag wouldn’t come off.
The gist of it was, ‘No matter how much you torture me, you won’t get anything out of it!’
Manoeuvre was a meticulous man.
Although he had countless disciples, he trusted only a few.
Naturally, there was a taboo, so if you said something useless, your heart would burst and you would die, so you could be confident even when facing death.
I was going to die anyway, so I planned to make one last effort.
‘Just take off the gag and I’ll blow the devil away.’
Lee Jun’s eyes turned bloodshot.
The flesh is completed by cutting off the tongue and reciting a simple spell.
“Then I will take the gag off.”
“Oh, could you wait a moment?”
Jegal Hyeonmong stopped Cheon Yeo-hyang from releasing the gag.
‘Judging by your eyes, it’ll be hard to elicit a proper reaction.’
Moreover, I felt a fierce murderous intent that he didn’t even try to hide.
Trying to talk to someone like that will only result in a headache and nothing to gain.
To begin with, Jegal Hyunmong had no talent for interrogation.
Although Cheon Yeo-hyang had some knowledge as she was an inspector, it was still not a sight she particularly wanted to see.
So, Zhuge Xuanmong decided to tell the story in a different way.
“Did the devil send you here?”
“… … .”
“Perhaps you became interested in me because you saw that I was a member of the Zhuge Liang clan. Was it because of me that you interpreted Cheon Gi-ja’s secret? No. Then did you drag me in while planning something else? That’s not it either.”
“… … !”
“Hmm. So that means… … It seems like Cheon Gi-ja is trying to use me to do something in his diary. Is that right? If that’s true, then Confucius’s mission would have been to infiltrate Daeryongpyo-guk and guide me to the diary.”
“… … !!”
Lee Jun’s eyes shook.
It seemed like he was just talking nonchalantly, but every word he said hit the nail on the head.
It’s not like the gag was released.
Then suddenly something occurred to me and I was shocked.
“Ta, Tashinto!”
By asking, you must have seen through my mind with your own eyes!
“Telepathy?! Is that even possible?”
“Are you talking nonsense even to the point of a thousand women’s associations? Where in the world is there such a thing as telepathy? It’s just a rough estimate.”
Literally, I only judged whether it was okay or not by reading Lee Joon’s surface psychology from his reaction.
‘But if it’s that accurate, how is it any different from telepathy?’
While Cheon Yeo-hyang was thinking about this from the side, Jegal Hyun-mong continued asking questions.
“So, what do you want me to do in that reporter’s note?”
“… … .”
Lee Jun did not react.
It wasn’t just because I was wary of Zhuge Liang’s tricks.
I really didn’t know.
Because of this, nothing particularly came to mind even on the surface, but Jegal Hyunmong did not feel any regret at all.
Because I thought I had a rough idea of what you were trying to do.
“It seems like you’re trying to have me have my fortune told. There must be many sorcerers, but judging from the fact that you insisted on calling me, I guess it must be difficult to spread the spell.”
‘What the hell is this guy?’
Lee Jun was speechless and looked at Jegal Hyunmong blankly.
What just happened was something I didn’t even know about.
Reading something like that was closer to the realm of clairvoyance than telepathy.
‘I never thought there would be another person like that under the sky besides you, Master… …!’
“Cheon Yeo-hyeop. Is there anything you want to question Cheon Yeo-hyeop? Oh, you can’t take off the gag. It seems like there’s still some life left in there, so there’s something to it.”
“… … Are you really thinking of coming to the Murim Alliance?”
“doesn’t exist.”
After saying this, Jegal Xuanmong asked Cheon Yeo-hyang.
“By the way, do you have that amulet that person used? Could you give me one?”
Originally, you should not hand over mine items carelessly.
If someone who has mastered the art of Jeongjongmu and is not resistant to demonic energy touches it without thinking, he may end up being poisoned by demonic energy.
However, Cheon Yeo-hyang did not hesitate at all and took out the talisman and gave it to Jegal Hyunmong.
Lee Jun’s eyes shook.
‘no way.’
The Sword of the Sword was one of the advanced techniques that Lee Jun received from Manoe after becoming a mine.
A magic technique that engraves a sword into an amulet, making it sharp and hard like a sword, and then moves it according to one’s will!
Of course, it wasn’t something that just anyone could do.
Control of the spell, what material to use for the talisman, how to make the injections to be used for the talisman, how to write, etc.
It took years to learn and master it.
That.
“Hmm, is this how it’s done? Fly!”
As Jegal Hyunmong lightly swung his black feather sword, the black ink well began to fly like a kite hanging from an invisible thread.
‘What, what, what… … .’
“Uh, how is it…?”
“I thought it would be okay to just do it like this… … . Isn’t it an easy spell?”
‘Th, that’s what you’re talking about… …! Gasp!’
Blood poured out of Lee Jun’s mouth as his flesh burst from the psychological shock.
‘I think I know why the Master cares about that guy.’
With that thought, Lee Jun lost consciousness.
“… … I didn’t do it.”
“I think it’s what Confucius said.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang suddenly had an idea.
‘I think it would be okay to just go along with this.’
Just a little while ago, I couldn’t understand why Jegal Hyunmong insisted on going with Bigo even though he knew it was a trap…
I felt somehow secure now.
* * *
After seven days and nights.
Jegal Hyunmong looked down at his feet.
A steep cliff stretched out beneath our feet.
‘I guess I came for nothing.’
Jegal Hyunmong thought so and closed his eyes tightly while riding on Cheon Yeo-hyang’s back.
“A thousand female warriors. A thousand female warriors!? Slow down a little… …!”
– If you don’t want to bite your tongue, keep your mouth shut!
