How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Chapter 91
Chapter 20. Weather Forecast (2)
Sagalbangju looked at Jegalhyunmong reflexively.
Even though the mine appeared right before my eyes and ran away, it didn’t move at all.
‘Shouldn’t I catch it?’
And soon, I could see why.
Cheon Yeo-hyang, who ran like a gust of wind, easily caught up with Mine and immediately cut off both of her legs.
Since I knew I would be caught anyway before I could get very far, I didn’t move at all.
Sagalbangju shuddered at the sight of the situation here being entirely in his hands.
“Oh, you are a divine being… …!”
“Don’t say anything weird.”
* * *
The White Tiger Lord of the Murim Alliance, Ilgak, frowned.
‘It’s stupid. It’s stupid.’
The thing that monks must avoid the most is none other than greed, anger, and ignorance.
That is, don’t be greedy, don’t be angry, and don’t be foolish.
Some people have tried to avoid those three things their entire lives, but no matter how hard they try, there is one thing they just can’t do.
“How foolish! How could you be swayed by such ridiculous rumors? And then you fight over something like this!”
People in the martial arts world flock to an obvious trap like moths to a fly.
That in itself was inevitable. It was something that could happen.
“Still no contact?!”
“Yes, that’s right. Should I let people in?”
“Don’t do that. No one who goes in comes back, so is there any need to increase the number of victims?”
“Yes, yep!”
The warrior of the Murim Alliance responded to the old voice of some people, but felt aggrieved.
If you knew it wouldn’t come out, you wouldn’t have asked in the first place… … !
But the anger of some was understandable.
“Why isn’t Inspector Cheon coming? He clearly said he would come, even if it was late.”
“I received a message that he had set out. He had left the city and would be back soon… … .”
“It’s too late, it’s too late. If something really happens like this. Amitabha! Why is everyone so foolish? Even merchants are flocking to this place… … .”
One person, blowing his nose in frustration, muttered a complaint.
Rather than being a curse intended to calm one’s mind, it sounded like a curse intended to hit someone.
“Oh, my lord!”
“What’s going on! What a commotion!”
“Oh, Mine has appeared!”
‘at last!’
One of them suddenly jumped up from his seat.
“Where are you! Show me right now! I’ll make a mess of you right now with the power of the main power!”
“Oh, that… … I heard they already caught it. You can sit down.”
“Who said that?”
“I caught him while the Chief Inspector was here… … .”
A look of puzzlement appeared on some people’s faces.
‘Was it that easy to catch Mine?’
I also knew it well because I had worked as an inspector before.
Mine are really cunning authors and they don’t show themselves very often, so how could you catch them on the way here?
“how?”
As he sat down and asked, the warrior of the Murim Alliance answered.
“A famous man named Muhujaerim passed by on horseback and identified Mine at a glance.”
“her.”
One corner let out an exclamation.
There is someone who can do that.
“Does that make sense?”
“That… … I heard from Sokha that he has incredible talent. He said that he has already identified four of them.”
“Is it possible that Mine is using this desperate measure to hide herself?”
“It is a well-known fact that Mines value their health the most, so how could that be true? Furthermore, it is said that even though they have displayed mysterious abilities so far, not a single one has been detected as magical energy. This has also been confirmed by the Heavenly Inspector.”
Some nodded.
“First of all, your identity is certain… … and you also have the ambitions that were revealed at Sacheondangga before.”
“Ah, that’s the guy who threw his hat into the ring at Sacheondangga!”
Only then did the one who had connected the rumor with the person hit his knee.
It’s not that I wasn’t impressed when I heard that statement.
“Bring him here quickly!”
* * *
“They say that Soseung is a part of Shaolin. I heard that the sponsor is the recently famous Muhou Jaerim.”
‘Hmm, this time it’s Shaolin.’
Why do you think these days, it seems like you often run into old-school people who are hard to meet even once in your lifetime?
As expected from a monk from Shaolin Temple, which is renowned for its Buddhist faith, his gentle facial expression and tone of voice were very impressive.
“It is nothing but empty talk. Your Majesty, please stop talking.”
“Seonjae (善哉)! You are too humble. If the donor finds it burdensome, I will spare you the favor.”

At the sight of Il-gak, Cheon Yeo-hyang opened her eyes wide and looked at Il-gak.
Then he nodded to the warrior next to him.
-Monk Ilgak, why are you doing that?
It’s scary when a normally gentle person suddenly gets angry.
But it was also scary when someone who usually acted like a mad dog suddenly turned over and started acting docile.
“I heard. You said that you found the hidden mine as soon as you arrived. How did you find out?”
Jegal Hyunmong paused for a moment at those words.
‘I found out by fortune telling.’
But I couldn’t say it outright.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed a bit strange to find mine by fortune telling!
“The one who caught it was Cheon Yeo-hyeop. When I think about it, I think Mine was probably scared by Cheon Yeo-hyeop’s namelessness. Isn’t that right?”
Wink.
Zhuge Xuanmong looked at Cheon Yeo-hyang and winked desperately.
Because I didn’t want to stand out to the monks of Shaolin Temple.
Cheon Yeo-hyang nodded her head at the sight, although she felt uneasy.
“……that’s right.”
Il-gak glared at Cheon Yeo-hyang for a moment.
‘What a disappointment.’
Anyone can see that it is obviously Jegal Hyunmong’s achievement, but how can you shamelessly affirm it?
Il-gak asked, slightly lowering his evaluation of Cheon Yeo-hyang in his heart.
“I see. Then, Inspector Chun, do you know what Mine’s purpose is?”
The tiger’s eyes that spoke like that were turned towards Cheon Yeo-hyang.
“It seems that they were planning to mix poison into the supplies of those heading to Vigo.”
“Poison… …?”
“Yes. It’s not fatal, but if you ingest it or light a torch, it releases a poison of the unconventional type, which disrupts your senses.”
“You knew about the note?”
“I don’t know much about the bigo. I think it was probably a moth that flew in when there was a commotion.”
Some nodded.
The more evil deeds a mine accumulates, the stronger it becomes.
But the method of piling up that evil deed is different for each mine and each time period.
Some people looked at Jegal Hyeonmong.
“Then, why did Your Majesty Zhuge Liang come here?”
Jegal Hyunmong didn’t bother to hide it here.
And the eyebrows of those who heard the story furrowed.
“Ma-noh… …!”
It’s nothing but five different things.
Some people’s expressions became serious.
“Are you saying that you came here even though that kind of person was after you?”
“You should come now. Monk Ilgak and Lady Cheon are here now. How could you be any safer?”
Some were amazed.
In fact, some people were suspicious of Jegal Hyunmong.
One of them was a man who prided himself on having a unique insight into people, and so he decided to see through Zhuge Xuanmong’s inner thoughts.
So, some people could realize that what Zhuge Xuanmong had just said was true.
‘It was a misunderstanding. He was no different from the rumors.’
“By any chance, Zhuge Liang. Are you not interested in a military position in the Murim Alliance?”
“I appreciate your high regard for me, but I feel like I am lacking in the important role.”
“Don’t reject me so immediately. Think about it for a moment. If you ascend to the military rank of the Murim Alliance, how much easier will it be for Zhuge Shizu to achieve his goal of fighting Ma-noe?”
At first glance, it seemed like the right thing to say, but at that moment, Jegal Hyunmong was starting to feel a sense of crisis.
Cheon Yeo-hyang changed the subject appropriately.
“By the way, Your Majesty, where are the others? I clearly asked you to wait a moment until I return… … .”
The expression on one’s face suddenly distorted.
“If you are talking about the deputy chief, he has already entered the palace. I said I don’t have the luxury of waiting for the inspector to arrive any longer.”
“ha.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang sighed.
To some extent, this was expected.
It is a martial arts alliance created to eradicate mines.
But when people gather together, factions are formed and people start to fight over credit.
There were no exceptions even among the old and new factions that called themselves the righteous factions.
“It doesn’t look good. Maybe they’re in danger.”
“Why?”
“It’s not that I’m different, but I was able to figure out the inside of the Bigo by looking at the Jangbodo that Cheon Yeo-hyeop brought. The inside of the Bigo is full of traps and is like a maze, so if you don’t know how to get out, it’s structured in a way that you can never get out.”
“Hmm! So you interpreted that map?”
Some people’s expressions hardened.
After hearing Zhuge Xuanmong’s words, I couldn’t stay still even longer.
“Ouch, this is a big problem!”
And then, suddenly, a warrior from the Murim Alliance came running in.
“The bridge collapsed due to the landslide that just happened!”
“… … !”
The sudden report made everyone stand up.
A short while later, upon arriving at the scene, the sandbar was indeed gone, having been hit by a landslide.
One corner clicked its tongue.
‘It’s difficult to even enter like this.’
A martial arts master might be able to get over the collapsed section, but it’s something that an ordinary martial artist can’t even dream of.
In other words, it means that the way out is also blocked.
“Suspicious.”
“Yes, Monk Ilgak. Could you please sing Dokjeonbangju and Sagalbangju?”
“Hmm! Could it be that they did something like this?”
“no.”
Jegal Hyunmong shook his head.
“Come and tell them to fix the glass too.”
“… … .”
Ilgok was speechless at Zhuge Xuanmong’s words.
“T-What do you mean, sir? No matter what, they are not members of the Murim Alliance and I don’t think they will follow easily… … .”
“I will probably follow. From Sagalbangju’s perspective, they must be feeling anxious right now because of the mine that suddenly appeared. If the monk Ilgak says even one word, they will empty their private funds and fix the path.”
“What about the poison pot?”
Jegal Hyunmong snorted lightly.
‘It was he who stopped me as I was passing by.’
Thanks to that, I was able to catch the mine, but just because the result was good, the intention of the poisonous dwarf that was pulling me in like a water ghost did not go away.
“If you don’t help me, you can just tell him that the Great Swordsman Danggon will come back to visit.”
“Uhm. Okay. I’ll go right away.”
Some nodded.
Anyway, these days, I feel like I’m missing out on even one hand.
Now that we know that Marno is involved in this, we need to restore the bridge as soon as possible.
As soon as Ilgak left his seat, Jegal Hyeonmong continued speaking.
“And Cheon Yeo-hyeop, please come with me to Bigo.”
“Are you talking about now?”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
“It looks like the preparations are complete since the bridge has collapsed. If we don’t hurry, those who entered first will be in danger.”
“But then why did you send down Monk Ilgak?”
Although it was the same peak, some people were better than Cheon Yeo-hyang.
There is no reason to send down such a part.
“If Monk Ilgak is here, he will definitely try to capture us or go with us. If Mine appears at that time, wouldn’t it be troublesome even if we escape from the cave? Monk Ilgak should stay to secure a way out.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang nodded her head in mild admiration.
“But the bridge has collapsed, so how are we going to proceed?”
Even if the bridge collapses, it is not a problem for a master with a level of Cheon Yeo-hyang.
Since he had practiced lightness by going up and down volcanoes that were famous for being dangerous, it was not difficult for him to ignore the collapse and cross over.
‘Is there a magic that allows you to walk on air?’
Jegal Xuanmong spread his hands.
“Of course, you, Lady Cheon, should carry me. If possible, could you carry me all the way to Bigo?”
“… … .”
Cheon Yeo-hyang’s eyes narrowed.
Surely that wouldn’t be the case… … but I had a fleeting suspicion that they might be using the highest level of the sword as a convenient means of transportation like Maso.
‘It looks like you’re thinking that way.’
“As I said, this is a matter of urgency. I don’t want to do this either.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang felt herself getting choked up without realizing it when she heard Jegal Hyeon-mong speak so shamelessly.
But I soon pulled myself together.
“Yes, that’s right. Only Prince Zhuge Liang in the world can treat me like a magician!”
“Hey, Mrs. Cheon. Say something… … .”
“Okay, kneel down, Zhuge Liang. Hurry up and get on my back!”
Jegal Hyunmong looked around.
A murmuring voice could be heard from nearby.
Zhuge Xuanmong, who was riding on Cheon Yeo-hyang’s back, said in a hurry.
“Cheon Yeo-hyeop. If possible, please do it without shaking. I get motion sickness very badly… … .”
Cheon Yeo-hyang smiled faintly.
Should I leave it?
“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!
