The 156th Dog Dream Diary or Precognitive Dream Diary.
Jin Ha-ryeong was being chased by someone.
Since I couldn’t shake off the pursuer, I ended up climbing up the tree. She hid herself between the branches and did not make a sound.
The pursuer ran past the trees and suddenly stopped.
Like a wild animal that has caught a scent, the pursuer slowly turned around and then raised his head and looked up the tree. The man’s face was as blank as a monster.
evil! I screamed, but no voice came out of my mouth. She jumped up again and ran away.
As the distance was getting shorter, someone ran up from in front and mercilessly kicked the man who was following in the face.
With a thud, the faceless pursuer rolled over and disappeared.
The person who helped him had flowing hair and a face full of beard. Where did you see this man?
The next moment she screamed.
“Are you the servant?”
The moment Jin Ha-ryeong realized that it was the man she had met in the guest house, her eyes widened and she woke up from her dream. The last words were actually spoken as I woke up.
She usually doesn’t dream much. It was my first time having such a strange dream.
She was drenched in sweat, having been chased all night.
Aside from the dream of being chased, why did that man come out and save her? Was it because I remembered that I had mistaken the servant for the master that day?
She remembered the furry servant’s face. I saw this face once, but I remember it clearly. It’s the face I saw in my dream. Since she was not good at remembering people’s faces, it was a refreshing experience to see his face come to mind so vividly.
“Are you okay?”
The voice of the guard Chuho (秋護) was heard outside.
“are you okay. “I had a nightmare.”
“It’s probably because you’re on edge because of the Battle of Soryong.”
“I guess so.”
“Don’t worry too much. “No one can beat her.”
“I’m going to rest some more, so don’t disturb me today.”
“yes.”
However, after a while, she secretly left her residence and entered the guesthouse where she had eaten noodles.
When she entered the guesthouse, the place was filled with guests. Because of this competition, wherever I went, it was crowded with people.
Her eyes caught the image of a man drinking in a corner. It was the servant who had appeared in my dream. I came here thinking it might be here, but it was.
I didn’t come today because of the noodles. I wanted to meet that servant once. It was because I wanted to check whether or not he was really a person worthy of appearing in my dreams.
But soon she shook her head and laughed.
How ridiculous is it that I came to meet the servant of a village sect just because he appeared in a dream? As she turned and was about to leave, someone called her from behind.
“Are you here to eat noodles?”
When he turned around, he saw the servant standing up and looking at him.
As a result, the attention of people around her focused on her. A few people recognized him and were surprised. Thinking that people would look at her strangely if she just turned around and left like this, she calmly walked to the attendant’s seat and sat across from her.
She sat down in front of the servant and ordered noodles and drinks.
“I thought you wouldn’t sit with me.”
“Why?”
“Because I found out last time that my status was a servant.”
“Because you are such a precious person, you won’t be humble with your attendants, right? “Is this what you mean?”
“Isn’t it?”
The corners of Jin Ha-ryeong’s mouth rose slightly as he was asked outright.
“that’s right.”
The man who said she knew that would look disgusted at the expression on his face, so she added.
“But the reason is not because the other person is an attendant, but because the other person is uncomfortable. “He couldn’t eat well when I was in front of him.”
“Ah, then I’m glad. “I won’t feel uncomfortable at all.”
How can you be such a proud servant in front of the Murim Lord’s granddaughter?
‘You should know who I am by now.’
It was a type I had never experienced before. I really don’t know, but I don’t know too much. Even the successors of the prestigious political faction act very cautiously in front of her. I can’t even think about such sensitive questions.
“You always walk alone.”
In fact, she did not get along well with people, regardless of whether they were servants or not.
Because I was the type of person who liked to be alone, I didn’t even like talking to anyone like this. That’s why it’s unfamiliar to me that I came here.
I came away with the thought that maybe this man had a dream because there was something special about him that his subconscious sensed.
She glanced at the man. His hair was unkempt and his beard was so messy that there was really nothing to see.
‘It’s a dog’s dream.’
The man treated her comfortably, whether he knew her feelings or not.
“Ah, our master also advanced to the finals.”
“Let’s have a drink next time.”
“That’s right.”
When Song Tae-gun left, Jin Ha-ryeong coldly questioned him.
“Why did you lie and say you were a priest? why? “Did you think I would be embarrassed if I was caught in the same place as you?”
Honestly, she had feelings like that. I was momentarily taken aback when Song Tae-gun asked who he was. Because I was hesitant to introduce him as an attendant. It hit the nail on the head and she felt ashamed.
“Strictly speaking, it’s not a lie. “I am an attendant, but I also learned martial arts from a certain sect, so I am also a priest, right?”
“Just one sophistry is enough.”
Jin Ha-ryeong left the place and left.
And that night she had another nightmare.
This time, it was a dream where he was hanging on a cliff and the servant appeared again and stretched out his hand to save him.
Jin Ha-ryeong woke up at dawn and looked down at his hands. I vividly remembered the feeling of holding hands with Geomyeon. It was as vivid as a precognitive dream.
“You crazy bitch, why do you keep doing this?”
She knew the answer too. Why are you like that? That’s because I’m doing something I’ve never done before in my life.
She covered herself with the blanket again and lay down. But I couldn’t fall asleep easily.

Seo Dae-ryong’s first opponent in the finals was the successor to the famous Jangpyeong sword family in Fujian.
“Would you like to practice with me?”
“With each Lord?”
When Seo Dae-ryong was asked to practice for the first time, he was surprised.
“It’s my honor.”
“Follow me.”
I took Seo Daeryong to the mountains where I was training.
“Even if you look for a place to practice, you are definitely different from me. “How did you find all these places?”
The wide space was blocked on all sides, and there was only one entrance. It was the perfect place for martial arts training because you only had to focus on one area.
“Come here and practice from now on.”
“no. Each Lord should train rather than me. “The quality of training is like heaven and earth.”
“Is that really the case?”
“yes?”
“I think your training in risking your life and your life to compete in a martial arts competition is a much more valuable training? “If you are the sky and I am the earth, acknowledge it.”
“Thank you for saying that, but that doesn’t change heaven and earth. Even if it turns over, it won’t feel that good.”
Yes, the right hand man is to have someone like this. It is not a matter of martial arts being stronger or weaker. This kind of person who makes you feel good even when exchanging words and tells you exactly what you think should be your right hand man. At least the right arm.
“Did you see the successor of the Jangpyeong Sword Family dancing?”
“yes. “You fought really well?”
“In terms of objective power, you are defeated.”
“Seeing that the governor says so, I will definitely lose.”
I nodded honestly. It is impossible to overcome the difference in the period of proper martial arts training. Moreover, he has not fully learned the martial arts of the Blood Heavenly Sword and cannot fully reveal his demonic energy. It was a tough fight one way or another.
“Now, I will imitate Jangpyeong Swordsman’s martial arts skills, so think of me as your martial arts opponent!”
“yes!”
I imitated the swordsmanship of the successor of the Jangpyeong swordsman and fought Seo Dae-ryong as if he were fighting.
Seo Dae-ryong lost and lost again. I didn’t pay attention, and after each bout, Seo Dae-ryong had more bruises on his body. There were moments when his life was in danger, but he did not give up.
“Please do this one more time.”
Seo Dae-ryong tried many methods he could. Try this and try that. He tried everything.
I silently repeated the dance and waited for him to find the answer on his own. They didn’t give me a solution to win.
Even if you lose to the enemy, you have to find it yourself. The mission was important, but this moment, which was a turning point in the life of ‘Unmanned Seo Dae-ryong’, was more important.
We stayed up all night practicing dancing. Seo Dae-ryong was exhausted, but there was a look in his eyes that he had never shown before.
And before the final round of competition.
Seo Dae-ryong, who wanted to train until the end, was forced to sleep.
Seo Dae-ryong, who said he couldn’t sleep because he was so nervous, snored as soon as he lay down.
I woke up Seo Dae-ryong, leaving the bimu half an hour away.
“Are you refreshed?”
“yes. I think I will buy it. But what should I do?”
“why?”
“I had a dream about losing in a competition.”
He said with a smile while looking at Seo Dae-ryong, who was crying.
“Now, shall we go and check whether that dream was a dream or a precognitive dream?”
