Blood seller (3)
“Is there something that’s bothering you?”
The person who asked the question was a handsome young man with gray eyes. Then the merchant who was kneeling and looking up at the statue of the goddess turned his head.
“I thought you were worried for some reason.”
As a man who had served his master for a long time, the man clearly understood her feelings.
She and he both looked like they were in their twenties, but were much older than him. She said that her man had been assisting a blood seller for more than twenty years. The blood seller tilted his head.
“In the great law of poetry and soul…”
On the first day of the night, the blood of the victims revealed the face of the person who killed them.
But at the last moment, she felt the face vibrate once more. It was the same vibration she had felt earlier when her bast face was removed.
I expected that a new identity would be revealed, but the face did not change after that.
“It was a strange thing. I’ve never had anything like that before.”
“Do you mean that face is not his true face?”
The blood seller shook his head.
“That can’t be possible. The Law of Sihon Daebeop definitely shows the true face of the person who caused blood to be shed.”
“Is there any possibility that such a mistake occurred because his martial arts skills were so strong?”
The blood seller nodded at the man’s words. She too was coming to that conclusion. In just two days, she was the strongest opponent she had ever faced, the one who put Yasi out of business.
“Is he there yet?”
“Yes. Even at this moment, blood spirits are looking for that face.”
Finding someone with just a face made of blood was never easy.
But Hyeolyoung were people who specialized in such things. Now that they had come forward, it was only a matter of time before their identities were revealed.
“Move carefully. We’re dealing with a really big guy.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind!”
When the man withdrew, she bowed nine times towards the goddess statue again. She said softly as she lay down on the floor.
“It doesn’t matter who you are. As long as blood flows through your body, you will definitely die by my hands.”
＊ ＊ ＊
I climbed Mt. Cheonmunsan with Gal Sa-ryang and Baek-pyo.
When I heard that there was a place we could go together, they followed me without a word.
The two people were greatly impressed by the view from Seonhakbong Peak, the top of Mt. Cheonmunsan.
“The view is really nice.”
“It feels like my stuffy mind has been opened up.”
I wasn’t just saying this to please myself. I really feel better when I come here.
So, the two people must have thought that the reason I brought them was so that they could feel the open air of Hoyeonjigi.
Of course, that wasn’t the reason they were brought here.
“Let’s jump out of here.”
The two people were surprised by my words.
However, Gal Sa-ryang soon thought it was a joke and said with a smile.
“Haven’t we already risked our lives enough? I don’t think there’s any need to do this to protect this old man’s spirit.”
“Even in the hellish training of the Black Panthers, there was no training as dangerous as this.”
The two people laughed together.
But when he stopped laughing along with me, he realized that I wasn’t joking.
“No way? Are you serious?”
I answered, still with a serious expression.
“exactly.”
I walked towards the tail of Seonhakbong. Two people followed me and looked down.
The dizzying sight took a step back. The white leopard also looked alternately at the bottom of the cliff and at me. Even Baekpyo, who has excellent martial arts skills, will die if he jumps here.
The two people stared at me, but couldn’t figure out my intention.
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious.”
“Do you know that if we fall, we will die?”
“I know.”
Then Gal Saryang and Baek Pyo looked at each other and quickly nodded.
“Good. If it is your will, I will follow your orders.”
This may be something you say out of faith in me.
“Now, let’s join hands and run together.”
I jumped down, holding both of their hands on my left and right. I really didn’t know that I was going to jump off this straight, so I screamed.
“Aaaahhh!”
But soon the screaming quieted down.
“Ahh… Huh?”
The three of us were floating in the air below the tail of Seonhakbong Peak.
Of course, I used my internal power to levitate them in the air. Perhaps they feel like an invisible force is gently supporting them.
Gal Saryang was amazed, and Baek Pyo was astonished.
Floating in the air alone was an enormous task, but I knew that floating in the air with two people together was impossible without tremendous skill.
“That’s where we’re going.”
At my word, two people found a cave located under the tail. I was so embarrassed and surprised that I didn’t even have time to look around.
“Come on, let’s go.”
The three of us slowly flew in there. This too was a great feat. I was deliberately giving them my best skills. I had to show a little more skill in order for people to believe what I was going to reveal later.
“There’s a cave in a place like this!”

It is a place that no one in the world knows about except me. This place, Seonhakbidong, was an appropriate place to tell secrets that should not be revealed.
The two people were greatly amazed by the scenery inside, which was hard to believe that it was inside a cave.
“This was a place only I knew.”
“I am truly honored to have you bring me to such a precious place.”
“The reason I brought you here is because I have something to tell you in private.”
I could feel the two people getting nervous. If something needs to be kept secret like this, it must be serious. I even made this request.
“From now on, don’t be surprised by anything I say.”
The two people looked at each other and took deep breaths.
“Yes, we are ready.”
I suddenly asked Galsaryang.
“What kind of person am I?”
Galsaryang was confused and answered the question that came out of nowhere.
“Yes… you are our irreplaceable master.”
I said in a calm tone.
“No. This is how you look at me.”
“yes?”
“He is the greatest person in this river.”
It may sound like something unexpected to Gal Saryang, but this was the answer Gal Saryang gave me on the day I died.
“He is the absolute being of this river and lake and the symbol of consultation and nothingness. Furthermore, he is this river and lake itself.”
I did exactly what he said that day.
Gal Sa-ryang’s eyes grew wider as he remembered when and to whom he said this. The reason he was so surprised was probably because this conversation was one that only he and I knew about.
This time I spoke to Baekpyo. That’s exactly what he said to me on the day I died.
“Did you say that if you see the moment the first snow falls, you are lucky that year?”
“yes?”
Baekpyo also looked puzzled at first.
“You said that you feel the passage of time as you watch other people’s children grow up. Look, Baekpyo. I’m sorry for not remembering Myeongyeong’s age that day.”
Baekpyo let out a single scream and said.
“Ah! How do you do that?”
Gal Saryang and Baek Pyo looked at me with shocked faces.
Finally, the secret that had been hidden until now was revealed.
“I am Cheon Ha-jin.”
“omg!”
“Uh-huh huh!”
The two people were astonished. I have never seen them so surprised.
“I died that day and when I came to my senses, I became a young man named Byeokridan.”
To those who still did not believe me, I told them stories that could prove that I was Cheon Ha-jin.
Of course, these were stories that only the two of us knew. Since they were two of my closest associates, we had many secrets of our own.
So it didn’t take long for them to confirm that I was Cheon Ha-jin. After realizing it was me, I thought about my past and all the pieces fell into place.
They now completely recognized me.
They claimed that I was under the same master, but since I had achieved great success in my German martial arts skills, there was no room for doubt.
“How could this happen? Lord!”
“Lord!”
The two people prostrated themselves on the spot.
I raised them up.
“I’m sorry I tricked you. I couldn’t speak right away.”
“Lord!”
“Lord! Ugh!”
Baekpyo was the first to shed tears, and Galsaryang followed suit with tears in his eyes.
“Galgunsa! Baekdanju!”
I suddenly hugged the two people.
“Ugh! Lord! I really wanted to meet you.”
As Baekpyo wept loudly, even I became emotional.
The moment I saw tears flowing from Galsaryang’s eyes, the tears I had been holding back finally poured out of my own eyes.
“Saryang, Baekpyo!”
Is this a name you really wanted to call yourself?
“I really missed you!”
How much did you want to say this?
“Lord!”
The three of us hugged each other and cried together as our longing for each other burst out at once.
Only after such a stormy reunion did we sit around and have a calm conversation.
I told you about the past. First of all, he told me why he couldn’t reveal the truth. I told them the same two reasons I gave to Cheonma.
Next, I told them a story about what happened at Shandong Inspection before meeting them.
After listening to the whole story, the two people formally bowed to me again. I finally came to my senses.
“General Commander Galsaryang, meet the Lord.”
“Baekpyo, the leader of the powerful group, I meet you.”
As I was receiving the two people’s bows, my heart ached. Yes, I regretted why I held back until now when I should have said something a long time ago.
“Galgunsa, Baekdanju. I’m so happy to see you again.”
“Lord.”
We were once again overcome with emotion. It was impossible for all these emotions to be released in one moment. We’ve been together too long for that to happen.
Baekpyo shouted as if he finally understood.
“Now I understand. Why the Sura Myeongwanggeom cried then.”
I nodded.
“Actually, I was surprised at the time too.”
This time, Gal Sa-ryang spoke.
“Now I understand why I was so attracted to Byokgongja.”
“Yeah, because it was me.”
Gal Sa-ryang sighed, finally revealing the feelings he had kept hidden like inner pain.
“I am also a human being, so how could it have been easy for me to serve another master? I am truly very happy that Duke Byok was my master.”
“Me too.”
Baekpyo also felt the same way as Galsaryang.
Seeing their relief and joy made me realize that I had only been thinking about my own position. Yes, how could they feel at ease? I only thought about myself too much.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
“No. We have no choice but to die now.”
“Me too. I was so grateful and touched when you left the group because of me and stayed in the group because of me. Thank you so much.”
“I’m just sorry for not being able to show you a better side of myself.”
“No. That was enough.”
“Lord!”
After giving us enough time to enjoy the joy of our reunion, the Heavenly Demon hinted.
[how is it? Are you feeling good? After talking about it, it’s not that big of a deal, right?]
[Yes, I feel good. After speaking, I feel relieved.]
[Hahaha, I hope you will continue to listen carefully to what this brother says.]
[Hey, Cheon Gwang.]
[Why but?]
[thanks.]
Was this my first time saying thank you to the Heavenly Demon? I don’t remember very well.
[crazy! Stop giving greetings that are not even in the minds of political faction bastards!]
You were the first to say thank you.
I didn’t dare say that out of fear of being embarrassed.
When my identity was revealed, this was what Gal Sa-ryang was most curious about.
“Then how did you die? Was it an ambush that day?”
“No. My physical condition was definitely not good around that time. I also had memory problems. But I’m not sure why I died. I just remember losing consciousness, as if I was falling asleep.”
“Have you been poisoned?”
“As you know, I’m impervious to poison, right? There’s no way I could have been poisoned.”
“You may have been hit by some kind of Dafa.”
“It could be so. Let’s find out in the future.”
“Yes, Lord.”
“Okay then, let’s go back now.”
At the entrance to the cave we entered, Gal Sa-ryang smiled and said.
“Please let me fly again like before. Now that I know that you are the leader, I will enjoy it in peace.”
“ha ha ha.”
When we returned to the island’s safe house, news awaited us.
“Seongwangbo wants to see his lord.”
“also?”
“He said he was the only one appearing this time. He said he had something important to tell you.”
“If it’s not a trick, then he chose me. No, I guess he has no choice but to choose.”
“Are you going to accept him?”
“If we can attract him to our side, we will be able to deal with them much more easily. Let’s meet. Instead, we can set up a meeting place.”
“yes”
This time he spoke to Baekpyo.
“This time, you come with me.”
Baekpyo’s expression brightened. I felt better knowing that he was moving with me. Baekpyo said in a loud voice.
“I will take care of you from now on.”
