<-- Episode 246: Chapter 7 The Blood Wind Comes with an Uninvited Guest (3) -->
The name Cheongseongsan was given because the trees were the color of jade and the four seasons were always green. However, in the world, it was more famous as the mountain where Cheongseongpa, a sacred place of Taoism, was located than Mount Qingcheng itself.
When you pass through Geonbokgung Palace, the entrance, there is a large lake called Wolseongho, and above it are Odongcheon Stream, Cheonsangdong, and Sangcheonggung Palace, and above that is Nogungak, which enshrines King Taesangnogun.
In addition, there were numerous conduits throughout Mount Cheongseong, and all of them were collectively called the Cheongseong Sect. The warriors of the Cheongseong faction were usually scattered around each temple to learn martial arts or cultivate their spirit.
It was a simple appearance and scenery that did not fit his reputation as the leader of the Old Daemun faction. In fact, the Cheongseong faction was among the weakest among the nine major factions. The number of Taoist monks was only a few hundred or so, and their influence was inferior to that of the Tang monastery and Ami sect in the same Sichuan province.
However, among the people living in Sichuan Province, there was not a single person who viewed the Qingcheng sect as beneath the Tang sect or the Ami sect. Although they may be inferior in power, their individual inaction is by no means inferior.
In particular, it was rumored that the inaction of Gwangmu Jinin (狂武眞人), the leader of the Cheongseong faction, was so great that he would not be far behind the Nine Heavens of Unjungcheon.
At Geonbokgung Palace, which can be said to be the entrance to the Cheongseong Sect, there were usually dozens of monks residing there. Only after passing their inspection could I board a boat crossing Wolseong Lake.
At the main gate of Geonbokgung Palace, Jeongmyeong, a disciple of Yi Dae, was stretching out.
“Hahaha! “All the visitors have left and it’s boring.”
“This guy, what are you going to do if Master Woongong sees it?”
Jeongwoon, who was next to him, scolded Jeongmyeong, who was yawning. But Jeongmyeong didn’t care and twisted his body.
“Do you really think Master Woon-gwang will come all the way to Ye?”
Ungwang was the youngest disciple of Gwangmu Jinin and a middle-aged military officer who commanded the military personnel at Geonbokgung Palace.
“You don’t know anything about people. Don’t you know? “Master Woon-kwang often checks our security posture unexpectedly.”
“Tsk! “I understand.”
Jeongmyeong licked his lips and straightened his back. She was a little sore, but she had no choice but to endure it because she knew that if she got caught by Woon-gwang, he would be scolded so hard that even a bone could not be removed.
“Anyway, I don’t know how things work outside.”
“What situation do you mean?”
“Ah, the war with Milya. “I heard there is no chaos outside of Sichuan Province right now.”
“phew! That’s right. “It’s fortunate that we, the Cheongseong faction, are one step away from the call, but the other Old Daemun factions are busy fighting wars, so it’s no joke.”
“I guess so.”
A shadow fell over Jeongmyeong and Jeongwoon’s eyes.
Just because I was here on Mount Cheongseong didn’t mean I couldn’t hear news from the world. I was hearing everything I could hear through the mouths of local visitors and the merchants who supplied goods to the conduit.
In this hellish world, it seemed that only the Blue Star faction was spared. It is said that it is the job of a Taoist to leave the secular world and practice the Tao, but I felt a little guilty because I felt like I was alone in the night.
It was then. Jeongmyeong saw a group of people coming up to Geonbokgung Palace.
“Are you a local visitor?”
“this time?”
My son-in-law has already become depressed. Even martial artists who have learned martial arts do not move around often during this time. There was no way a local visitor would climb the mountain at such a late hour.
“Who is it?”
It was a moment when Jeongmyeong and Jeongwoon concentrated their energy on their eyes and increased their eye strength.
Hiss!
“Oops!”
Suddenly, a loud noise sounded and Jeongmyeong fell backwards.
“Look here, Jeongmyeong.”
Jeongwoon’s pupils dilated rapidly as he looked at Jeongmyeong lying on the ground. There was a dagger stuck on Jeongmyeong’s forehead.
Jeongwoon shouted at the top of his lungs.
“S-It’s an attack! “Wow!”
At that moment, another dagger flew and hit his uvula. Jeongwoon grabbed his neck and fell down. Jeongwoon, whose limbs were shaking for a moment, died.
Immediately after that, Taoist monks came rushing out from Geonbokgung Palace.
“You mean an attack?”
“Jeongmyeong? Jeongwoon?”
The monks were shocked to see Jeongmyeong and Jeongun dead.
In the meantime, the warriors who flew daggers arrived at Geonbokgung Palace.
“Who are you guys? How dare you use lethal force against the Qingcheng sect’s warriors!”
The middle-aged teacher stepped forward and shouted. He was none other than Ungwang Jinin, who led the monks of Geonbokgung. Woongwang Jinin’s face was full of anger.
Before we knew it, the attackers had almost reached the main gate of Geonbok Palace. Without saying a word, they brandished all sorts of weapons and attacked the warriors of the Qingcheng faction.
“Tsk!”
“It’s an attacker! “Hurry up and tell Shangqing Palace about this!”
At Woongwang Jinin’s order, one of the Taoist monks rang an emergency bell and set off fireworks as a signal.
“I don’t know who you are, but you will never be forgiven for daring to hurt the warrior of the Qingcheng Sect.”
Ungwang Jinin and Noseong drew their swords.
At that time, a warrior who appeared to be in his thirties walked out from among the attackers. He was none other than Nam Cheon-myeong. He chuckled.
“What kind of big deal is the Cheongseong faction?”
“Are you their leader?”
“You could say so.”
“Reveal your identity!”
“If you want to know, find out yourself.”
“profit!”
Ungwang Jinin couldn’t resist Nam Cheonmyeong’s provocation and rushed at him.
Sigh!
A blinding, cold light split the darkness. Woongwang Jinin concentrated all his power on one sword.
Goosebumps were running down my spine. His body first feels the fear of the enemy and reacts. So he was doing his best without even realizing it.
However, his attack could not cut off even a single collar of Nam Cheon-myeong. Like a floating ghost, Nam Cheon-myeong narrowly avoided his attack and passed by Woon-gwang Jin-in.
“Stop, you bastard!”
Woongwang Jinin turned around and tried to catch up with Nam Cheonmyeong. But my legs didn’t move.
“what?”
Rattling!

In an instant, his body collapsed. The upper body is separated from the shoulders to the waist.
I didn’t even feel how I was hit. I couldn’t even see when the other person used his hand.
“Ugh!”
Ungwang Jin-in’s desperate scream, who belatedly realized his condition, echoed in the night sky.
I don’t know if it was his screams, but Cheongseongsan, who had been sleeping, woke up. A light came on in the dark conduit, and an urgent bell continued to ring in the quiet mountain.
Nam Cheon-myeong muttered as he looked at the appearance of Mount Cheongseong.
“The mountain scenery is nice.”
Meanwhile, Yeom Madae slaughtered all the Taoists guarding Geonbok Palace and followed behind him.
After passing Geonbokgung Palace, the vast Wolseong Lake was spread out, and several small boats were tied up in a small dock.
Nam Cheon-myeong got on the boat without hesitation. Then, the boat moved to the middle of the lake as if it was being pulled by something.
The warriors of Yeomma Dae quickly boarded another small boat and followed Nam Cheonmyeong.
Dang dang dang!
The closer we got to Cheongseong Mountain, the louder the bell rang. The more he did this, the brighter the smile on Nam Cheon-myeong’s face became.
“Good. “It’s the perfect atmosphere for murder.”
☆ ☆ ☆
In the deepest part of Dangata, there is the residence of the head of the family, Dang Gwan-ho.
Just like his nickname Manpokje (萬毒帝), the poisoner who used poison the best in Heaven was Dang Gwanho.
In Tang Gwan-ho’s residence, the lights were almost never turned off. The time when the lights went out was only about 1 o’clock in the morning. That’s why some people called Dang Gwan-ho a person who forgot to sleep.
Dang Gwan-ho’s residence was fully open at twelve o’clock every day. So anyone could easily meet Dang Gwan-ho at any time. It was a very different scene from the other Odaesega.
Dang Gwan-ho opened the window wide and was looking at the panoramic view of Dangata with the lights off. There was a deep furrow between his eyebrows.
Unlike usual, it was strangely difficult to maintain composure. Strangely, my heart pounded and I felt anxious.
“Huh! Why? Am I too old now? “It’s so hard to keep your composure.”
He shook his head.
I usually couldn’t sleep, but today I felt like I made a mistake. Finally, Dang Gwan-ho sighed and took out a booklet from the shelf and opened it.
Normally, I would be able to quickly immerse myself in a book, but I couldn’t easily see the letters. In the end, Dang Gwan-ho gave up reading books.
“Whew!”
It was time for him to sigh.
“Grandpa.”
Suddenly the door opened and a beautiful woman came in. The moment he saw the woman’s face, the hotel staff was delighted.
“Miya, how come you haven’t heard any news?”
The woman was none other than Dang Mi-ryeo. At her unexpected appearance, Danggwan Ho erased her worried expression and smiled broadly.
Dang Mi-ryeo lightly approached.
“I have some news to tell you, so I came to see you. “How have you been?”
“As you can see, I am healthy. How have you been?”
“Yes, as you can see I’m doing well.”
Tang Mi-ryeo smiled softly.
In public, he was always called the head of the family, but in private, he was referred to as the grandfather.
Officially, it is known that both Tang and Tang Mi-ryeo were excommunicated from the party. But that was only what appeared on the outside.
For the past three years, Tang Gwan-ho has been supporting Tang Mun and Tang Mi-ryeo in both yin and yang, avoiding the eyes of Unjungcheon. It was also thanks to Tang Gwan-ho’s consideration that Bukcheonmun was able to settle in the western plateau of Sacheon, avoiding the eyes of Unjungcheon.
It was Dang Gwan-ho, who could be said to be the leader of the Sichuan martial arts group. He had a lot of power and strength in him. Hiding the existence of Jinmuwon and Bukcheonmun was no problem.
Dang Gwan-ho smiled with satisfaction at the sight of his granddaughter, whom he had not seen in a long time. Now it was time to let go of it, but I couldn’t help but be glad to see it.
“Take a seat.”
“yes!”
“How are you doing, Kimun-in?”
“Uncle… … .”
“Are you still blaming yourself?”
“You’ve improved a lot compared to before. “I haven’t completely forgotten it yet.”
“That kid was always soft-hearted.”
Tang Tangmun still hasn’t completely escaped the death of Myeongryusan. To forget Myeongryu-san’s death, he hung on to poison even more. Maybe that’s why his personality also turned darker somehow.
“he is… … “What happened?”
“He would have been back by now.”
Tang Mi-ryeo answered with a calm expression. Seeing Tang Mi-ryeo like that, Tang Gwan-ho could not hide his sad expression.
Tang Gwan-ho was not unaware that Tang Mi-ryeo had feelings for Jin Mu-won. But the moment her silver tongue appeared, she gave up her feelings for Jin Mu-won. It was because I couldn’t find the confidence to get into the relationship between the two people.
However, the human mind is not something that can be easily organized. He was smiling calmly, but I couldn’t even guess how painful and bitter he was feeling inside.
However, it has been better recently as I have regained my natural smile. When she escaped here three years ago, her heart was so cruelly broken.
Even now, when Jin Mu-won came in, he probably came down to the door to avoid seeing his face.
“Miriaya.”
Tang Gwan-ho stretched out his hand and stroked Tang Mi-ryeo’s head. Then, Tang Mi-ryeo smiled softly.
“I’m fine. “It’s real.”
“Yes, I know.”
Tang Gwan-ho also smiled.
It was then.
“Matriarch!”
Someone’s urgent voice was heard from outside.
“someone?”
“That’s the iron gate.”
“Iron gate? “Please come in.”
The door opened and a middle-aged man came inside.
The name of the man with rough facial features and rough horse clothes is Dancheolmun. Privately, he was the nephew of Tang Gwan-ho, and publicly, he held the position of head of the Tang family.
He didn’t even pay attention to Tang Mi-ryeo. Dang Gwan-ho, who sensed that this was something unusual, asked.
“What is going on this late at night?”
“We’re in big trouble.”
“what?”
“All the military personnel dispatched to the checkpoint in Gwangwon were exterminated.”
“What?”
Dang Gwan-ho got up from his seat without realizing it.
“Is that true?”
“That’s right. “As there was no news for half a day, soldiers from nearby branches went and found that all the disciples sent from the three sects had been wiped out.”
“What about pleural effusion?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet.”
“Have you reported this to the Qing Province and the Army?”
“We have already launched Jeonseo-gu. “They would know this by now.”
“Convene all leaders immediately.”
“All right.”
Tang Iron Gate quickly went out.
Tang Gwan-ho, who was left behind, trembled.
“grandfather?”
Tang Mi-ryeo called, but Tang Gwan-ho closed his eyes and muttered as if he didn’t hear.
“So you were that anxious?”
The wind was blowing in Sichuan Province.
It seems that the wall built by Tangmun, Cheongseong, and Amifa could not block the wind in the end.
