Chapter 357

Episode 357

It wasn’t long before Cheongsang and his party were able to meet Geomhye.

They barely caught their breath when they reached the depths of the forest, a long way from Idongcheon.

Unam, who was wary of the surroundings with sharp eyes, let out a sigh of relief and let everyone know that it was safe.

“Looks like they haven’t caught up yet.”

“Good luck. It looks like they didn’t follow right away.”

“yes. Most of the traces have been erased by the soldiers of the Eunwidan, so it won’t be easy to find.”

“But it must not be delayed. You’ll have to rest for a while and get out of there right away.”

“yes. I will tell everyone that.”

Daegung lowered his head with a guilty expression.

“sorry. It’s just because of me...”

“....”

Cheongsang smiled gently at his weak voice and approached.

“Captain Daegung has done his job well enough. Didn’t you blow your whistle to save everyone in the midst of that danger?”

“...that.”

no.

whistle? If he hadn’t been discovered in the first place, there would have been no reason for the fire.

all because of themselves

I put everyone in danger by not noticing that such a monster was lurking in the main house. However, Daegung couldn’t bear to say those words with his own mouth.

“That’s right, manager. Stop forgetting about it.”

“Oh. It’s a silver guard without a leader, so maybe the Danju wouldn’t have been able to go back as it was?”

“Is that all? If I meet the hwangsin later, I might have to listen to swear words until my ears bleed.”

The warriors of the Eunwidan comforted Daegung and each one trembled.

Then, everyone politely bowed their heads toward the blue statue.

“The Eunwidan will never forget the grace of the shamans Ani Cheongsang and Cheongwu who saved our leader.”

“...”

But the young man shook his head slowly.

“Aren’t we all one family now? Also, since the head of Daegung is the subordinate of Jinmu Sasuk, he is a precious person to our shaman as well.”

“....”

“So, thank you all. For now...”

Cheongsang knelt down in front of the palace archer, raised a seongi, and grabbed his bent arm.

Daegung felt his heart sink more calmly in the refreshing energy.

“It will hurt.”

“...”

Daegung, who knew what the Cheongsang was trying to do, nodded slowly.

“Cheongwoo.”

“yes.”

Even without explanation, Chungwoo rolled up the cloth and bit into Daegung’s mouth.

“Be patient.”

Poududeuk!

The arm, which had been bent against the power of the blue statue, quickly returned to its place.

But the pain was indescribable.

“Gagging...! Ha ha ha...”

The archer, who couldn’t stand it even after asking for the cloth, let out a painful moan with a rough breath.

It looked so painful that even the onlookers squinted their eyes, but they endured it well.

After the treatment, the young man gently wrapped his arms around him and touched them.

The pain gradually fades with the power of pure Seongi, which begins from the source of life.

Seongi sometimes cured diseases and sometimes drove away evil spirits.

The aura of death that was clogged up everywhere the monster named Hanseung passed through faded a little in Cheongsang’s seongi.

“First aid was given, but I don’t know how he will recover. It’s better to close your eyes for a while...”

“No. How can I sleep peacefully?”

At the Daegung’s refusal, Chungsang did not recommend it anymore and smiled warmly while facing him.

A similarly soft smile appeared on Geomhye’s lips as she watched the scene.

Union of Principals.

There have been cases in the past where people came together for a specific purpose.

But never before have we relied on and appreciated each other as we do now.

Jinmu.... He’s a really great sleeper.

Aren’t you a person like a lotus flower?

The flower of harmony is blooming little by little in the muddy water of Jungwon, where we have lived pretending for a long time.

Someday, as time passes, the seeds he sowed will grow and grow, and this huge rotten wetland may be filled with lotuses just like today.

“Old man, what will you do now?”

“Um...”

It was a playful tone, but no one laughed carelessly.

Geomhye fixed a cold gaze on the old man and quickly spread his senses and scanned the surroundings.

does not exist.

only one old man

It was clear that he had been chasing after us, and he even overtook them with his great inaction, so the rear guard hadn’t attached yet.

If so, the answer is one.

You must run away before the rearguard comes.

And someone had to hold the old man from running after him.

“Cheongsang! Unam!”

“...?”

Cheongsang and Unam, who were full of vigilance at Geomhye’s cry, turned their heads.

“Don’t stop and run.”

“...!”

Her tone, which had always been soft, changed. In addition, the expression that had been tinged with warmth was chilly enough to feel the sharp wind of the north wind.

“Old man!”

“Are you worried about me?”

“....”

“I am Geomhye.”

When Geomhye Byeok Un-yeong opened his chest and stood up, a prayer resembling a strong storm spewed out.

“If you guys are not people to worry about, and even if the author is strong enough to surpass me, what good will you be if you stay?”

“...”

“I cannot protect you with a rear guard. go honey You are the driving force that will lead the midfield in the future. Cherish Ming and plan for the future.”

“Old man!”

Cheongsang grabbed Unam’s arm as he shouted again in an earnest tone and shook his head heavily.

Geomhye’s confidently standing fingertips are trembling slightly. it is tense

Old people are that strong.

It was different from when he saved the palace. It’s a situation where everyone could die if she doesn’t sacrifice.

Saying no and helping her would put her in danger, and it was tantamount to blaspheming her name as Jeongmu Chilseong.

I had to back off now.

Cheongsang, who had made up his mind, politely embraced Geomhye.

“...I’ll go first and wait.”

I spat out the words, but I bit my molars to the point where they shattered from uneasiness that could not be erased, and the overlapped fingers dug into the back of my hand.

Geomhye draws her sword.

When the white sword body revealed itself, the world seemed to light up for a moment.

She smiled, revealing her even teeth.

“Go.”

Just one word.

There were no more words.

The surroundings of her were already filled with a huge energy to the extent that the scenery around her was distorted along with the cold chill.

Cheongsang immediately put the longbow on his shoulder and ran.

Unam, who had been biting his lip and thinking over and over again, jumped after him, followed by Chungwoo and other soldiers of the Gabmuban.

only one person Jegalsansan couldn’t take a step.

Helpless.

It was Jegal Sansan who had thought of her as his teacher with all his heart.

He knows that she has confidently prepared for death, but she can’t do anything about it.

What can I be other than a lump of baggage at this moment?

Geomhye smiled and nodded towards Jegal Sansan, perhaps knowing her sorrowful heart.

Her eyes tell her to stop.

Don’t worry about yourself and go live.

Jegalsansan couldn’t hold his rough breath.

However, you cannot shed tears as an ugly disciple who leaves behind a teacher.

In the end, unlike the others, she bowed politely and said goodbye.

Toward his master, whom he may never see again.

“Respect yourselves.”

“...It was fun.”

“...”

“My last disciple.”

Jegal Sansan’s tears flowed down his cheek, soaking his collar and moistening the ground.

like that for a while

Then I ran with my head down. Looking back, I thought my feet wouldn’t fall off.

please.

I hope to see my master again.
