Episode 287: The secret is a jokester (3)
The exact location of Baekhwahyeokyo is not known.
All that Poongunja had conveyed to Soyo Mountain Lodge was a rough outline through his investigation.
The clue is that it is somewhere on Mt. Giak.
It was a mountain with endless rugged and steep slopes. Therefore, it was a place where people did not normally visit.
There was a group of people running there now.
fault-! Taaa-!
Four shadows took off one after another and ran over the trees.
After a while.
The small shadow running at the front stretched out one hand.
“Wait.”
Under Eum-gae’s instructions, the warriors of Soyo Mountain Lodge gathered in one place.
It was a flat space behind a large rock.
At that time, one of the attendants asked with shining eyes.
“Did you find something?”
Yoo Seol patted his stomach and responded by pretending to be dying.
“I can’t go because I’m hungry.”
“...iced coffee. “Then it would be better to fill our bellies here and move on.”
Since I haven’t eaten anything until noon, I have no choice but to be hungry.
The attendants squatted down and took out the wrapping cloth they had brought with them and unfolded it.
It was filled with rice cakes, dried meat, and local traditional snacks.
Where is that? Even a bamboo leaf container filled with a sweet drink. It was truly the best combination that could not be tasted in the mountains.
“Go ahead and try it, Daehyeop.”
Nodding his head, Yu Seol quickly put a piece of rice cake in his mouth and chewed it.
Soon, his face began to form a happy smile.
“Go ahead and try it. “It’s very delicious.”
The attendants at Soyo Mountain Lodge had blank expressions as they looked at the brightly smiling Yin Kai.
At that time, Cheolwoong glanced at the other two and grabbed the beef jerky.
“Priests too, eat quickly. “Only then will you have the strength to find the elderly.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
The taste of snacks eaten in the mountains was excellent.
For a moment, smiles appeared on the faces of the warriors who were frantically filling their stomachs.
“how is it? You did well to listen to me and buy some snacks, right? “If I had just come, I would have been in big trouble, right?”
It is not a problem if a martial arts expert starves for a day or two.
But how can you tell your true feelings?
The evil mass in front of me was the only hope that Soyo Lodge could rely on.
Each person flattered and matched their mood.
“Yes, that’s right. “I was really surprised by your insight into this situation.”
“Maybe it’s because it’s food eaten in the mountains, but it tastes even better.”
“It feels like I’m on a picnic and it’s really nice. “But why aren’t you taking out what Daehyeop brought with you?”
In response to his question, Yoo Seol said while stroking her arms.
“I packed this separately to bring to my grandpa.”
What about anyone? Anyway, it was all calculated with dirty money.
Plus, there was enough food to spare.
“Ah, I see. “The Yin Kai Daehyup is truly full of compassion.”
Yu Seol grinned and started giving them food.
“I eat a lot. “I’ll be sure to find you after you finish eating.”
Cheolwoong, the most senior among the attendants, expressed his gratitude with both hands together.
“Thank you so much for your help. But is Baekhwahyeolgyo really here?”
Half an hour has already passed since we searched Mt. Giak.
Even though I searched everywhere, there was no result. So questions are bound to arise.
Everyone looked tired, but Yoo Seol was as lively as the first time.
“I’m sure. “There are traces of people passing by.”
“You mean traces? “We couldn’t see anything...”
Yoo Seol looked around and pointed somewhere with his index finger.
“Do you see the tree over there?”
When ordinary martial artists leap, they emit explosive energy beneath their feet.
Therefore, if you are not at a level where you can step into the air, traces are bound to be left behind.
Like a half-broken tree branch in front of you.
“Is that really possible?”
“You thought I came here without thinking, right? “I had an idea.”
I have been moving around looking for traces.
The warriors at Soyo Mountain Lodge were impressed and praised the story.
“As expected, you are the world’s greatest evil.”
“I respect you. “It’s really amazing.”
“I think so.”
“What on earth happened....”
“I need to catch someone first and ask them.”
Yu Seol looked around and searched for a suitable target.
Since they were all spread out all over the place, it wasn’t that difficult to choose.
The blood cultist chosen by Eum-gae was a person who was hiding and resting among the trees.
The stray snow that hit the ground shot towards him at the speed of light.
Taaa-!
It was a formidable innovation method that had never been seen before.
The attendants watching this had their hands full of sweat.
In the blink of an eye, Eum-gae, who had come close to him, suddenly flew up and kicked him on the back.
Wow-!!
Yooseol, who had grabbed the back of the fallen man, had already returned to his original position.
dump-!
It really happened in an instant.
The member of Baekhwahyeolgyo, who was captured without knowing why, had only his eyes glazed over. It may be that you don’t understand the situation.
He soon saw a girl pulling her fist behind her shoulder right in front of him.
“Did you see the windbreaker or not? “Tell me the truth.”
“You’re crazy...”
The sound of the conversation doesn’t escape because the surroundings are so dark.
Yu Seol interrogated him with the warriors of Soyo Mountain Lodge, but was unable to obtain any significant results.
The intensity of the training seemed great, but it seemed like he had been thoroughly brainwashed by the religious order.
If so, it would no longer be of use value.
Byak-!!
The blood cultist’s entire body went limp after being hit on the head by Yu Seol’s fist.
I probably won’t wake up for at least half a day.
Cheolwoong asked with a worried look on his face.
“What should we do now?”
“I’m sure it’s hiding somewhere on this mountain. “We have to find it first.”
“...Then I will only believe in Daehyeop.”
Yu Seol led them and started moving somewhere again.
The purpose was to mobilize all the senses in the body to find traces of the windbreaker.
* * *
Kwakwakwakwa-!
It was the sound of a waterfall pouring from somewhere in a valley in the mountains.
And inside, in a small crevice, a boy who looked to be about six or seven years old was hiding, cross-legged.
There were spider webs hanging down from his shoulders and head. It must have not moved for a very long time.
‘It’s a murderous attack... I’ve never seen such terrible martial arts in my life of 180 years.’
He was a windwalker who was injured by the vicious magic attack of the cult leader Yeomhwi.
How much time has passed?
He had been sitting in the same position for days on end, healing his internal injuries.
The injury was so severe that I had to overcome several crises during the treatment process.
‘If it weren’t for the Heavenly Heart Law, even ten lives would have been lacking.’
Cheongongsimbeop was a mysterious martial art that could heal any internal injury as long as one’s life was preserved.
However, once you start using this method of meditation, you will not be able to move and it will not be easy to stop.
Currently, he was unable to speak, let alone move. This means that when you encounter an enemy, you have no choice but to be helpless.
How much have you been anxious until now?
The end was not far away, but something happened.
“Hey, what are you doing here?”
The windbreaker was astonished. Suddenly, I heard a girl’s voice coming from behind me.
I was so embarrassed that I almost fell into a state of confusion.
‘Who is it? ‘I didn’t know while you were getting this close?’
No matter how careless you were, for something to sneak up on you so close, it had to be at least the same level as you.
What kind of situation is this?
At that time, a playful voice was heard from behind.
“How did you get here? “When my sister asks, I have to answer.”
“....”
Even if you want to say something back, you can’t open your mouth while using the Heavenly Heart Technique.
There was nothing that could be done.
Soon he felt someone pulling his ear.
“It looks really cute~ Cute.”
Does he not know his identity? Or is he deliberately playing a prank even though he knows?
Anyway, that wasn’t what mattered now.
Her life will be determined by who this girl suddenly appears and what her intentions are.
The Confused Windwalker became very nervous when a hand stroked his head.
