Episode 282 What kind of person are you?
Have you been this excited lately?
My heart was pounding like crazy.
Fire weapon.
This is the moment when I finally see your fragments.
Where are you and what are you doing now? How strong are you now?
When I thought of him, the anger in my body boiled like lava. Did you feel that intense emotion?
Sssssssut.
Tree branches extending from all directions approached as if putting pressure on the sword dance. Because there were hundreds and thousands of branches, it was an attack that could not be avoided or cut down all.
Right at that moment!
Good! Good! Good! Good!
Centering on the sword dance, something appeared in four directions: front, back, left and right. Surprisingly, it was the four demons of the Nine Fire Magic Gong’s First Chosic Destruction Sect.
As the evil spirits blocked them like shields, the tree branches did not dare to attack and retreated. They were frightened by the evil spirit emitted by the demons.
Geommugeuk really didn’t know that four demons would appear and protect him during the wooden king’s prayers. They are scary, handsome, mysterious and clever. If they are like this, what would the Heavenly Demon Soul be like?
At the same time, Baek Cheon-gyeong was falling into the abyss.
‘Praying like this at such a young age?’
No matter how many times I went in, there was no end. Just as Geommugeuk walked endlessly into the forest, he swam down into an endless abyss.
I wondered what would lie at the end of that darkness.
Instinct stopped him. It’s dangerous to go any further.
But Baek Cheon-gyeong could not contain his curiosity. I had a feeling that something great was deep in the darkness.
Although he was suffocating and the increasing pressure felt like his body was going to burst, Baek Cheon-gyeong continued to go down.
The very moment I was about to give up because I thought I couldn’t hold on any longer.
I felt like the world was turning off and on.
Baek Cheon-gyeong was standing in the middle of the battlefield. Blood flowed like a river and corpses were strewn everywhere. There were people, demons, and devils among the corpses. There was no one alive. No, there was one person.
A man turns back and looks up at the sky.
Is it a sword dance?
However, the man’s back was something that only a person who has overcome all the hardships in the world can see. I thought that no matter how young the leader of the Demonic Cult was, it would be impossible for him to have a back that felt like this.
Then who is it?
The moment he tilted his head,
the space disappeared and Baek Cheon-gyeong was in the deep abyss again.
Ssssssssssssss.
And then it was pulled up toward the surface at a frightening speed. The moment the abyss spit him out in an instant, Geommugeuk’s prayer disappeared.
At the same time, Baek Cheon-gyeong’s prayer also disappeared.
Both the sword dance in the forest and Baekcheongyeong in the water returned to reality.
The two stared at each other in silence.
The sword dance performance was still heart-pounding.
Those who followed Hwamugi.
What are you doing here now?
There were so many things I wanted to ask him. But I wasn’t allowed to ask anything.
Whether you kill him, keep him alive, or dig up his back, you have to be careful when it comes to firearms.
Geommugeuk greeted first, changing his boiling anger into a relaxed smile.
“It’s a sword dance from Shingyo.”
“It’s a hundred thousand wonders.”
He only gave his name without any explanation.
“I heard what the disciple said on the way.”
Then Baek Cheon-gyeong’s eyes turned to Jin Ha-gun. At this moment, Jinha felt nervous inside. I was worried about what Geommugeuk would say.
“What did you say?”
“He said he was the person he trusted the most.”
Baek Cheon-gyeong’s eyes turned from Jinhagun to the sword dance again.
“You came to see Haryeong?”
“I came a long way to find the person I love.”
To Baek Cheon-gyeong, those words sounded like a joke, so he stared into Geommugeuk’s eyes with his small, long eyes. As I looked into those deep eyes, I could see the back of the man I had seen earlier in the prayer overlapping with the sword dance.
This young, bright figure and the man in the prayer looked very different.
‘Who is that man?’
Baek Cheon-gyeong walked to the table where guests were greeted.
“Sit down. “The guests are here, so we should serve them tea.”
“I will ride, Master.”
“I will do it. “Please take a seat.”
“Yes, Master.”
―Master, please say it clearly so that he gets scared.
Baek Cheon-gyeong did not say anything even after hearing his message. Instead, I turned my gaze away from the two people and looked out the window.
“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll just leave.”
Geommugeuk walked outside without hesitation.
Jin Ha-gun stayed behind and tried to ask why he didn’t say anything, but Baek Cheon-gyeong was still looking out the window. Since the guest order was to go without bothering Jinha, Jinha quietly left the place.
Jinha came out and walked with a sword dance. As we moved away from the workshop, Jinha eventually asked.
“Are you someone who needs to be killed or someone who needs to be saved?”
Jinha was curious about how Geommugeuk viewed his master.
“You said you don’t believe me?”
“I’ll just bear with it.”
Of course, he was someone who had to be killed.
But instead of answering, Geommugeuk showed Jinha what he was holding in his hand.
“When did you bring this out?”
The reason why Jinha was surprised was because what Geomukgeuk brought was a doll that was in the decoration cabinet. It was the doll without a face.
“Why did you bring it here?”
Geommugeuk looked at the doll closely.
“Aren’t you curious? “Who did you have in mind when making this doll?”
“If you were curious, you should have left it there.”
“I think I should carve this face.”
“what?”
What on earth are you talking about? To Jinha, he was someone who knew nothing about sword dance.
“One thing is certain, your master is not an ordinary person. At the very least, I clearly felt that he was not the kind of person who should become the master of the Murim Lord’s grandson.”
“Did you share a message with Master?”
Geommugeuk shook his head.
“Then what on earth did Master think like that?”
“Honestly, looking at him like this, I still don’t know if he is a villain or someone who should be killed.”
Of course, he will die by his own hand. It’s just a matter of when and how to die.
“But there was a problem with his attitude toward you.”
In the sword dance, Jinha pointed out the part that was easiest to understand.
“The way he looked at you and his attitude towards you could not be seen as being between priests. It was cold and cold. Even if you make a big mistake, you should cover up your mistakes when others are present, but your master only focused on me. No, he must have focused on himself. “He does not regard you as his disciple.”
Jinha thought that he would feel at ease once he heard the conclusion. But his heart was still the same.
This time, Geommugeuk asked.
“What was the Master you saw like? “You must have thought a lot too.”
Jinha expressed his honest feelings.
“I don’t know. “Master is still suspicious, and so are you.”
It was at this point that I felt lost. He felt that his master had changed and his crisis instinct was activated, but he called for a sword dance without any evidence that his master was a bad person. I wonder if I’m being taken advantage of or if I’m making a mistake. That thought keeps trapping him in a fog.
Geommugeuk spoke calmly with an expression of understanding.
“That’s why a sure enemy is better than an ambiguous friend.”
Jinha realized that he was having a hard time not knowing who was his friend and who was his enemy. Why is the person who reminds me like this the leader of the Demonic Cult?
The sword dance stopped at a crossroads.
“Go first. “I have somewhere to go for a while.”
“Where are you going?”
Then, instead of answering, Geommugeuk said something unexpected.
“It’s a lie to say that I don’t get lost because I have a good sense of direction.”
This is what I wanted to say to Jinha.
“There are many times when I wander around and get lost. “Maybe that’s why I don’t like people who shout out that this must be the right path...”
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“It just suddenly occurred to me.”
After finishing speaking, Geommugeuk launched himself into the air.
Jinha, who was watching the dots disappearing in an instant, looked up at the sky. What Geomugeuk said came to mind. He asked people and looked up at the sky to find directions, but if that didn’t work...
This was crazy, he thought to himself as he took off his shoes.
Then he threw it upward. The direction the fallen shoe was pointing was the direction where the sword dance had just disappeared.
‘Of course.’
Are you saying that it is right to follow the sword dance even by chance? It’s impossible. The first version is a practice version.
Jinha threw his shoe again. I threw it higher than before. But coincidence struck again. Throw again and again.
When I finally found the direction I wanted to go, I put my shoes on.
“You must have been so confused and lost. “Don’t comfort me for nothing. I will find a way with my own strength.”
Jinha walked briskly towards his residence.
Even though I tried not to think about it, I kept thinking of my doll that got up from lying down.
