What you see when you stop (1)
The place I flew to at once with the demonic flight was Gansu Castle calligraphy and painting.
This was the village where Baek Seong-won, the son of Cheonma, lived. He was survived by not only his son, but also his grandson, grandson-in-law, and great-grandson.
It was because of these people that I used the expression, “I will run for the whereabouts of the Cheonma.” I was confident that it would definitely come here.
When Cheonma prepared to die or think about a new life, he thought only of his family. You will definitely come to this painting and calligraphy.
When it flew here in Demon God Flight, it flew faster than a bird, but when it arrived, it moved leisurely.
First, I stopped by the guesthouse, quenched my thirst with alcohol, and had a bite to eat.
It’s my first time going out in six months. I’ve been working all the time, so there’s no need to rush because I’m suddenly here.
If I meet Cheonma this time, I plan to have fun with him, rest comfortably, and then go back.
I drank alcohol and watched people passing by outside the bar.
Laughing and talking. It made me feel good to see people living peacefully.
Suddenly, I remembered what Cheonma had said before.
“Now that we’ve earned a ton of money, let’s go have fun! You get to meet all the beauties of Kangho! Let’s just play! Have fun!”
That’s enough now, but rather than such desires, I started to worry about whether the people here were doing well and whether there was any corruption among the martial arts warriors. It seems that the natural leader is a leader.
Actually, the Heavenly Demon who said those words is probably not able to put them into practice either.
I wonder if men’s lives are just a dream.
At that time, the conversation between the warriors sitting next to me turned to a topic about me.
He glorified my fight and raised his voice to the point that I was embarrassed as I sat next to him. Even though it had been more than six months since the Dark God and the Blood God were eliminated, they were still talking about them.
I thought that it might be true that, as Gal Saryang said, he would become a legend of Gangho and be passed down for eternity.
“Anyway, Cheon Gwang. “Where are you?”
The place I headed after leaving the guesthouse was a special branch established here in Seohwa.
When I left here in the past, I created a secret branch to secretly protect Cheonma’s family.
The branch was disguised as a small military branch. Operating as a military attaché was one of the best ways for those who learned martial arts to blend in with ordinary people without arousing suspicion.
When I entered the military building, a woman greeted me. She was a young and lively woman.
She didn’t realize who I was. It was natural. Most people in the headquarters, unless they were civilians, had never even seen my face.
“Are you here to learn martial arts?”
“no. “I came to see the governor.”
“Why do you want to see me, Lord Gwanju?”
“I came from far away, Wuhan.”
Coming from Wuhan meant coming from the Murim Alliance.
The woman asked for the secret word, and I also answered in the secret word.
“Please follow me.”
He guided me to the governor. She walked across the gym with her attache accompanying her.
She was Qin Yeohong (秦女紅), the only female wife of the military officer here.
Several young men were practicing martial arts nearby and looked this way. I thought he was looking at me, but his gaze was directed at Jin Yeo-hong.
Since they are hot-blooded guys, it would be natural for them to be attracted to pretty, young ladies.
“How is the headquarters?”
While I was hesitating to answer because I had no idea what the question was asking, she continued.
“I’ve never been there before. “Where do you belong?”
“I belong to the civil war.”
“Ah, then you must be Jeongjeongak.”
She guessed so. This is where the three ministers of Samangak and the Murim League masters worked together, and Jeongjeongak was the place where they mainly had contact.
It was not operated on a large scale to maintain secrecy. There were about ten people in total, half of them were agents in charge of information, and the rest were military personnel in charge of military force.
Jin Yeo-hong was in charge of the armed forces.
“I have to teach the kids during the day and take care of Maeng’s work in the evening. “It must be difficult in many ways.”
“no. It’s okay now that I’m used to it. Teaching kids is also fun. “There are also special allowances.”
However, her sincerity was contained in the following addition.
“Actually, I was hoping to go to the headquarters before being assigned here… … “It didn’t go as planned.”
There was deep regret in her words. She hoped that not only she but many of her warriors would come to the headquarters.
“How long have you been in the group?”
“This is the fourth year. Until last year, I was at Seomseojidan. “As the years go by, we move further and further away from the headquarters.”
I consoled myself with her self-deprecating words.
“You’re still young, so wouldn’t you be able to go to the main unit?”
“I don’t know if it will work out the way I want it to. “If you listen to the seniors, they say that if you don’t go at the beginning, you won’t be able to go to the end.”
I decided that I would have to improve this part in the future. There should be a structure in place so that if you have the skills, you can advance to the main team at any time.
While we were talking, we arrived at Gwanju’s residence.
“A precious guest has arrived from Wuhan.”
This was also a kind of secret language that meant that people came from the Murim Alliance.
“Take it.”
“Please come in.”
“Thank you.”
Jin Yeo-hong, who guided us there, turned and walked away.
The person waiting in the room was the governor of this place, Dojeong.
He recognized me and was startled.
“omg! Lord! “How can I get here?”
“How are you?”
He got up quickly, bowed and bowed politely.

“I meet the majestic Lord. “What are you doing without any message?”
“I had some business to take care of, so I came out quietly.”
In other words, the visit here was also to be treated as a secret.
“Oh, I see.”
Dojeong was the person selected for this important mission. At least he was not someone who flattered and played politics to impress the leader.
“Tell me about Baek Seong-won’s family.”
“Yes, I will tell you.”
I was able to hear many stories through him.
It is said that Baek Seong-won returned to the Bureau of Calligraphy and Painting and became its head. At that time, Pyo Guk-ju said that he had made a reformation and was now leading the calligraphy and painting pyo country well by joining forces.
It was fortunate.
It is said that Baek So-myeong, the grandson, joined the Cheonghamun (淸河門), a fairly well-known sect in Gansu. Her granddaughter-in-law, Ji-rim, is busy raising her child, she said.
I asked what was most important.
“Has Macheol come here by any chance?”
“When you say Majeolgun, do you mean the leader of the entire squadron?”
“I see.”
“No, he didn’t come.”
There’s no way I wouldn’t have come here. Could it be that he stopped by for a moment to check on his family’s well-being and then left to refuel Kang-ho again? Or is he here disguised with a different face?
“Are you aware of the people who are settling here in Seohwa?”
“of course.”
Fortunately, the branch here had solid information about those who had newly settled in Seohwa. It meant that the job was being done properly.
“I want to know about them.”
“All right. “I will call the person in charge.”
The person in charge was Jin Yeo-hong, who guided me earlier.
I visited various places of calligraphy and painting, checking on her and the newly settled people.
The place I visited now was the sixth house.
I shook my head as I looked at the person she was pointing to in the distance.
“That person is not the person I am looking for.”
“Can you tell the difference from this far away?”
“exactly.”
It was about finding the Heavenly Demon. He could tell just by looking at his standing posture. No matter how much he disguised himself, it was no use. Even if other people didn’t know, I could recognize the Cheonma.
“Then let’s go find the next person.”
“Let’s do that.”
I looked for more than 20 people that day, but there was no Cheonma. Still, this method was the fastest. Because I couldn’t go to each house and check them all.
“It’s late today, so come back tomorrow.”
“That’s right. I’m hungry, so let’s eat together. “You worked really hard today.”
“you’re welcome. “It’s my job.”
She didn’t show any displeasure the entire time she walked around the house.
I went into the guesthouse and ordered delicious food and drinks for her. He is a person for whom it is worth buying something delicious.
“Eat a lot.”
“thank you.”
After filling our bellies, we had a drink and talked.
“But who are you looking for? Considering that you came down here, you seem to be an important person. “Are you a wanted criminal with a bounty?”
“no. “There’s just one arrogant guy.”
Perhaps because it was a top secret matter and she thought I was changing the story, she did not ask any further questions.
“I don’t know who it is, but if you get caught, you will be severely scolded.”
“Probably so.”
Of course, he might not have come here. He could have been happily refueling Gangho somewhere. If so, it won’t be easy to find.
“If it’s okay, please tell me about Bondan. I want to listen.
While I was wondering for a moment what to say, she spoke quickly.
“Oh, just in case, don’t feel pressured. I will never do anything like asking for favors. “I’m not that kind of person.”
I knew it without even having to say it. If he were like that, he would try to take advantage of me by speaking much more subtly.
“Haha, even if you do, I don’t have the strength to listen.”
Although he had a lot of power, he had no intention of listening to the request, so it wasn’t a lie at all.
I told him a few things about this group. It was about how many people reside in the headquarters, what kind of structure it has, and how many levels of security must be passed in order to enter a civil war.
She listened to such boring stories with interest, as if she were listening to an action play.
“Have you ever seen the Lord in person?”
“Yes.”
“ah! “Is he really as handsome as they say?”
“A peerless handsome man?”
Ah, it seems I am so famous. Yeah, it’s better than the rumor that you’re ugly.
“I think we need some standards, what about me? “Do you think he is a peerless handsome man?”
Then she was a little embarrassed.
“hmm… … Not to the point of saving money, well, no. “You’re handsome.”
“You’re the kind of person who can’t lie at all.”
“no… … yes.”
Her face turned slightly red.
“Then it seems that Lord Maeng is not an unrivaled handsome man. “I hear people say I look like Lord Maeng.”
“Hmm, then you are definitely not the most handsome man.”
When I made an absurd expression, she smiled brightly and said,
“Hehe, just kidding.”
She really had a pleasant personality.
Doo doo doo doo.
At that time, about twenty horses passed quickly outside the guesthouse. The speed was quite fast for running down the street at such a late hour. What if passers-by get hurt? So it got on my nerves.
“Who are they?”
“Ah, judging by their attire, they were warriors from the Northern Wind Sect.”
The Bukpung faction was a famous faction here in Gansu. It was a large sect that had been renowned for generations and had quite a few experts.
“The North Wind Sect hasn’t been shown well in calligraphy and painting here until now. How is that? “This is the territory of the Great Dragon Gate.”
Daeryongmun was another prestigious clan in Gansu. The two clans were fighting for supremacy over Gansu.
“Is Cheonghamun also related to Daeryongmun?”
Cheonghamun was the place where Cheonma’s grandson entered.
“yes. “Cheonghamunju and Daeryongmunju are on good terms with each other.”
“Then, if there is a problem at Daeryongmun, Cheonghamun will also come forward.”
“Of course it is.”
I said, getting up from my seat.
“I think I know where the person I was looking for is.”
He left the guest room first, leaving her with a surprised face.
* * *
I flew over Cheonghamun Gate in the moonlight and landed on one of the roofs.
The man standing on the roof looked at me and said.
“I’m here?”
The man who spoke as if I had just broken up with him was the Cheonma I had missed so much.
I was so happy, so happy, that I didn’t question why I just left. He didn’t even hug me. It was so nice just to see him again.
I also asked casually.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s just Kangho’s job. Shaggy. “I’m worried because this is where my grandson is.”
“It started here.”
“Small things become big.”
“As expected, wherever the Heavenly Demon goes, there is wind and luck.”
“It’s not because of me! Damn it! “If it’s because of me, then there’s no problem.”
“What are you worried about? “Just kill them all.”
“Is that okay?”
When the Heavenly Demon turned around and asked me seriously, I answered with a smile.
“no.”
The Heavenly Demon turned his head again.
“Honestly, I don’t know what to do.”
I felt humanity in Cheonma’s concerns. If he hadn’t become closer to me, he would have already solved it by getting rid of everything. I was proud and happy of his change.
Even if you have power, do not use it carelessly. He also endures cruelty. Yes, I came this far because I am a person who has changed like this.
“Still, I’m glad you came.”
Cheonma was truly happy and so was I.
I told him.
“Someone said that. “Half of your life is difficult because of your parents, and the other half is difficult because of your children.”
The Heavenly Demon smiled and sighed.
No matter how peaceful Gangho is, seeing them meet again in such a complicated situation makes me wonder if he is a Cheonma and I am a leader.
“Come on, let’s take care of our worries over a drink. Even if we skipped the farewell party, we still have to have a reunion party.”
