Chapter 823

Episode 823. Nowadays, money is power.

the first day of January.

starlight.

Yeosan County.

Gwanghaeru.

Two old men with white beards were sitting opposite each other by the window of Gwanghaeru, drinking.

They are Mu-Young Lee, a ghost with twelve horses, and So-Sang Ha, a Bima from Cheonsan.

Looking at the empty bowl pushed to one side, it was clear that he was drinking after a meal.

It’s like drinking instead of tea.

The two empty their drinking glasses without saying a word, perhaps tired of the repetitive daily routine.

Mooyoung Lee opened his mouth after a while.

“Ha brother. Isn’t it time to decide where to go?”

Hasosang muttered as he put down his drink.

“Take it. Has this older brother turned his heart that way?”

Then Moo-young Lee replied with a self-deprecating smile.

“Since the loss of Jeokwol-nim, only we have been separated from each other. In three years, I think I’ve done all the respect for Jeokwol. If we’re not going to become the Baekdu Demon Army, wouldn’t it be better to put a line over there?”

Both of them were twelve horsemen who served Jeokwol Gongchwisan as their masters.

Naturally, after Gongchwisan disappeared, his position within Myeongwanggyo decreased.

It’s been three years since I took on the dirty work, but no one acknowledged it.

They were exhausted and discouraged, and the Demonic School urged them to join.

If you were under a famous religious leader, there would be no room for reconsideration, but it was different now.

Now that Gongchwi Mountain had disappeared, there was no one to lead the twelve horsemen.

Hasosang shook his head.

Lee Moo-yeong was right when he said that if he was not going to become Baekdu Demon Army, he had to change to the Demonic School.

Lee Moo-young, who was looking at Ha So-sang’s reaction, continued to speak.

“Looking back, the Baekdu demons are now in a mood to give up on the Cheonduma king.”

“Is that true?”

“It is said that no one has succeeded, perhaps because the mother of the eight emperors gave the mantra of the king of Cheondu as a lie. No matter how much sacrifices were made, there was no feeling of progress, so it seemed that half of the beggars had given up.”

“Do you think the famous religious leader taught you the mantra falsely?”

“Who knows. Was it taught falsely or is there some other special condition?”

The two exchanged a cup and discussed their future in Myeongwanggyo.

As the conversation faded, a group of people rushed into the spot.

A cold wind from outside blew through the inside of the spot.

Moo-Young Lee and So-Sang Ha cut off their words and turned their heads toward the entrance.

About a dozen vendors were snooping around the place looking for an empty seat.

The sparsely seated seats were filled with guests.

When someone sat down next to them, Moo-Young Lee and So-Sang Ha naturally shut their mouths.

The spot, which had been quiet due to the conversations of merchants, soon became noisy like a marketplace.

“Haengsoo-nim, have you heard the story of Mt. Cheongseong?”

“I don’t know. We are from Jiangxi. Do you have any knowledge? What happened?”

“ah! yes. I forgot. Namcheon Daehyeop and Do Commander’s army faced each other at Mt. Cheongseong.”

“Why did Namcheon Daehyeop fight against the provincial commander’s army?”

“A disciple of Nakseongmun cursed Myunggyo and fled to Mt. Cheongseong, where Namcheon Daehyeop was located. Namcheon Daehyeop did not look favorably on Myunggyo, so it seems that he protected Nakseongmun’s disciple.”

“Oops! so?”

“Isn’t it a world where swearing at famous religions makes you a traitor unconditionally? Of course, from the Geumuiwi to the provincial commander, they pressured me to submit Nak Seongmun’s disciple.”

“Did Namcheon Daehyup accept that?”

“Isn’t Namcheon Daehyeop originally famous for being a person who bounces when pressed? Moreover, if it is a famous church, there is no way that people who grind their teeth will listen to you.”

“so?”

“It is said that not only the Geumuiwi but also the provincial commander’s army were killed or injured quite a lot.”

“her! That’s great. So, Namcheon Daehyeop must have abandoned the Seokgyeongjang and returned to the forest?”

“That’s a bit odd.”

Then, the disciples of Mugwanggokseongmun waved their fists in the air and said, ‘Wow!’ he replied.

“Don’t be outdone now,” he shouted.

“He who wants to live must kneel! Since the Dark Dancheonmun has descended, ten thousand demons will bow down!”

“Wow!”

The members of Madodont Astronomy shouted cheers as if they were competing.

Akbul Bangcheongak smiled bitterly when the two did not mention Myeongwanggyo as if they had promised.

It feels like Myeong-wang-gyo has become a guest in the heart of Myeong-wang-gyo.

However, Yojingal and Geumeonmu, the masters of the six gates of the Demonic Cult, had the right to do so.

Bang Chun-gak, who had been watching the two of them, spoke cautiously.

“Two minutes, Moon-lord. As I said a moment ago, money is power these days. If you get your hands on the top 10, it’s the same as winning the world. Therefore, it is better to take over the upper side first than the Moorim Bangpa.”

Yojingal looked at Bangcheongak with eyes that looked ridiculous.

“Don’t leave your room.”

“yes.”

“I think you know one thing and don’t know the other two. It makes no sense to put order in terms of force and money. They talk about the top 10 and all, but in the end, isn’t it the sword that brings them to their knees?”

“That is true. I was saying this in the sense that it would be easier to conquer the world if you got your hands on the Ten Commandments.”

Bangcheongak treated Yojingal and Geumeonmu as if they were superiors.

Considering the status of the six gates of the Demonic Cult that have been passed down through the rivers, it was a natural action.

Geum Eon-moo, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, interrupted.

“It seems that Bang Demon-kun doesn’t know our Demonic Cult yet. We have no intention of getting our hands on anything. As you know, it’s the opposite. We are the people who came to change the world. Do you know what I mean?”

“ah! yes. My thoughts were short.”

“no. That was a good idea though. If you tear up the top ten, the world will turn upside down, right?”

Geum-eon-moo stared at him, and Bang Chun-gak smiled awkwardly.

I knew that the Demonic Cult was crazy, but I didn’t expect it to go out like that.

I thought I would conquer the world, but when I open my mouth, I grind and tear it apart.

Geum Eon-mu continued to ask.

“How many teenagers are there in Henan?”

“There are three.”

“Then do this. Madoudancheonmun, Mugwanggokseongmun, and Myeongwanggyo take charge of one by one. The one who gets it the fastest will have He Nam.”

Yojingal nodded.

“I agree.”

Bang Chun-gak asked with an ambiguous face.

“You said you would tear it up, so I’m a bit confused. Are you saying you want to get rid of the upper half?”

Then Yojingal smiled and answered in place of Geumeonmu.

“Heh heh. Bang Ma-kun is unexpectedly naive. We demons also eat food with our mouths and poop with our back holes. As long as it does not go against the rule of three deaths, there is no way to eliminate the upper side. It does not mean that the one who obtains Sangbang first becomes Henan’s leader.”

“ah! You did. I was so ignorant that I didn’t know the deep inner meaning.”

Bangcheongak’s stomach was flattened, but he groaned as if he would give up his liver and gallbladder.

Sichuan Province.

Cheongseongsan.

Seochogwan (西蜀館) in front of the Sanmun Gate of the Qingsheng School.

When the year changed and the sun and the moon came, Namgungcheon returned to the Namgung family.

The life of Yeon Jeok-ha, Namgung-yeon, and the family members of Seokgyeongjang living in the annex was monotonous.

One day, while repeating eating, sleeping, and resting, a heartache called Yeonjeokha separately.

“why?”

“Confucius, your money is running out.”

“How much is left?”

“You should only suck your fingers for five days at the most. Right now, I don’t have money to give to the woman who is helping with postpartum care this month.”

“Whew! shit. Why didn’t you talk about money? Does old Sim have any plans?”

“I came in a hurry as if I was running away from the Savior, so I didn’t bring anything worthwhile. How can I go on a winter hike as I wish?”

Hiking is a green slang word for robbery.

Yeonjeokha had a straight color.

“it’s crazy? If that happens, I will forever say goodbye to Seokgyeongjang. I can’t go back to my normal life. You know?”
