<Episode 213>An old story.
Old story.
This is a story from long ago.
Now many people have forgotten.
It’s a very old tale that few people know about.
The old Central Plains, unaware of the existence of the Demon King, simply pursued martial arts and chivalry.
At a time when the phrase ‘strong self-respect’ was so fitting.
There was a man who longed for another world.
A man who originally did not exist on this earth.
I longed to go back to where I was.
I hope we can return to our original homeland.
The man had been longing for that for a long time.
Finally, unable to hold out any longer, he tried to open the door by burning his own flame.
It’s a door that can take you back to where you were.
A very long time has passed.
The man finally figured out how to open the door.
It’s similar to how I came to this earth, but in a different way.
The man screamed in delight.
Now I can say without hiding my hope that I will be able to return.
Eventually, the door is opened, opening the void.
The man was left in despair as he saw the open door right before his eyes.
Because the door that opened by tearing through the dimension was not the door he had hoped for.
What’s more,
The door brought disaster.
The man had to sit down and watch the disaster pouring out from the crack that tore open.
Not only can I not return to the world I longed for so much,
Because of this selfishness of his, he left a huge stain on the world.
May future generations name it.
That crack that shoots monsters through the door
It was named Ma Kyung Moon.
This was the twist that later brought about the greatest change in the Central Plains.
It remained a disaster that could not be resolved for centuries.

… … …
The sins and karma of the man who created this, the goblin, remain for future generations.
It remains the first karma that binds his bloodline.
A few hours after the incident.
I was on the road to Guga, passing through the Mudong Mountain Range.
The situation surrounding what happened at the Black Palace has not been properly resolved.
First of all, since the Gu family is a member of the Jeongpa faction, the situation will change after the Murim Alliance arrives at the mountain range.
It had to be negative.
As sending Gu Hee-bi safely to the three families is the priority right now.
The main personnel who would handle the work were left to the three directions.
And now I.
I was faced with a very embarrassing situation.
I am groaning and Namgungbi asks me.
“…it’s hard…?”
“Oh, a lot.”
“Then… should I hug you…?”
“No, please don’t. It’s still pretty embarrassing.”
He pushed his tangled hair back and swept his face.
The subtle gazes I felt from those around me also helped a lot in making my ears turn red.
was there.
‘•••Fuck.’
The reason why I am so embarrassed.
Because I was riding on Namgungbia’s back right now.
Gently, whenever the wind blows, Namgungbia’s hair hits my nose.
‘•••Why does it smell good?’
In the meantime, the subtle scent of flowers wafting in was annoying.
I wonder if they sprinkled something.
Instinctively, I started to tense up my nostrils a little bit.
In my head, Shin Noya speaks to me in a trembling voice.
[I’m dying of joy.]
‘•••Do you see it that way?’
[Then, isn’t it strange to hope that it doesn’t look like that?]
I coughed at the low murmur and looked around.
Got it.
There was nothing but fog around me, but it was difficult to keep my gaze focused on the road ahead.
‘hmm?’
As I was looking around like that.

I feel an intense gaze from slightly behind me.
The culprit of my gaze was Gu Hee-bi, who was being carried and moved just like me.
If there’s something a little different.
I was being carried by Namgung Bi-ah.
The point is that Goo Hee-bi is being carried by her father.
What can I say, it’s a really awkward sight.
That my father was carrying someone on his back.
Even the fact that it is called Gu Hee-bi is ridiculous.
‘Why are you looking at me like that?’
Gu Hee-bi looked at me as if the awkward situation was not a problem.
There was.
No, I think it’s right to look at it.
Even without that, Gu Hee-bi, who has fierce eyes, is glaring at someone, so it’s quite scary.
I was sad.
[Do you understand now, little one? That’s what it feels like when you look at someone.
That is to say.]
‘•••Why are you suddenly crying?’
Noya, who seemed determined not to miss anything worth mentioning, was second to none.
I just wonder why Gu Hee-bi has those eyes.
‘Why are you doing this when you said you didn’t like it?’
Because he said that he didn’t want to be carried by Namgungbia even if he died.
My father carried me as I was.
Why are you looking at me like that?
‘Do you think I was carried because I wanted to be carried?’
Gu Hee-bi is unable to move freely due to the magic energy coiled in her lower abdomen.
It’s yellow.
I was in a situation where I had difficulty applying the bet right away because of the backlash that had hit my danjeon.
I had a feeling it would probably be like this for the next few hours.
So, I think I need help in this situation, so I’ll go to Namgungbi’s house.
Where did you get it?
In the first place, Namgungbi Ado is a person who has reached the peak of his power, so it is heavy to carry him alone.
I don’t think there’s anything to say.
The mere sight of it was quite uncomfortable.
[If that’s the case, why don’t you just ask someone else to carry you?]
‘•••That’s right.’
Why did I realize that now?
Maybe it’s because my head is full of other thoughts and it’s not working properly.

Could this be it?
[You must want to make excuses like that!]
‘•••Can you please be a little quiet?’
[joy.]
Shin Noya seemed more irritable today.
There seems to be another reason besides the one I teased you about last time.
He had a strange personality. If you are a Taoist, shouldn’t you be a bit more open-minded?
Anyway, of course, what Shin Noya said.
Even putting aside the situation of being carried by Namgungbia.
Now was not the time for me to worry about that.
My head was already full of other things to worry about that.
‘The Black Night Princess and the Heavenly Horse…’
I feel overwhelmed just thinking about this now.
Why was the princess bringing the heavenly horse?
Why on earth was Cheonma there with the princess in that form?
Because I had to think about that.
As he said himself, the Heavenly Horse, who was originally thought to have come from the Demon Realm, was actually a young boy.
was already staying in the central region.
Moreover, what is their purpose?
Since all of these stories were different from my previous life, how could it not be complicated?
peel
‘•••The Black Night Palace was destroyed by the Murim Alliance a few years later.’
It must have been so in the planned future.
Now that this situation has come to light, I have a slightly different perspective.
‘•••perhaps.’
It wasn’t destroyed by the Murim Alliance.
Could it be that he was pretending to collapse?
‘Then, what happened to the princess?’
If so, was it true that the Black Night Princess was killed in her previous life?
It wasn’t destroyed by the Murim Alliance. The Black Night Palace pretended to collapse on its own.
noodle.
Where did the Black Night Princess go in her previous life?
‘It is certain that the Black Night Palace is the root of the Demonic Cult.’
Now that we have confirmed that the main members of the Black Night Palace will later become members of the Demonic Cult.
It was discovered that the demonic cult that Cheonma created and led actually originated from the Black Night Palace.
all.
‘What on earth do they want?’
Advertisements
It’s unknown.
The reason why Cheonma came to conquer the Central Plains on his own was to prove that he was the absolute ruler.
With the flag.
He kept spouting out incomprehensible words about purifying the polluted Central Plains.
‘I wonder if there was another meaning behind those words?’
Now everything is questionable.
The Heavenly Horse is not simply an unknown being.
If we recall that it was originally a being that existed in the Central Plains.
It was even more incomprehensible.
Moreover.’
Even the face looks almost exactly like Wi Seol-ah.
It wasn’t exactly similar at the time.
The feeling was so different because the atmosphere and even the energy were completely different.
It wasn’t just a resemblance to the face now.
Of course, physical age as well.
Except for the fact that it was dry, it looked exactly the same.
How can this be called a coincidence?
‘•••Are you saying that Cheonma is related to Wisul-ah?’
Or maybe Wi Seol-ah was related to Cheon Ma.
In that case, I had to think about the topic of swordsmanship as well.
Geomjon thought of Wiseol-ah as his granddaughter and took care of her.
Because there might be other problems in it.
No, I was already convinced of it inside.
That means there must be some secret in the sword.
‘This is fucking crazy.’
Everything I knew was tangled up into one ball of thread.
So much so that I don’t know where to start.
If there is one thing we can be absolutely certain of here, it is this.
‘There is a problem with the current Cheonma.’
That is.
If you ask why I am so confident.
I thought back to the information Gu Hee-bi had given me just before and the encounter with Cheonma.
As Gu Hee-bi said.
The reason why the Black Night Princess kidnapped Gu Hee-bi is because Cheon Ma absorbed something from Gu Hee-bi.
It was said that this was done to make it possible.
Advertisements
It is said that Cheonma said that he could not do this.
‘Now… I said I couldn’t do it.’
To be exact, he said he couldn’t eat it.
And then, the moment I faced Cheonma.
The words that Cheonma muttered while looking at me.
-Mine.
Cheonma clearly said that while looking at me.
Perhaps, he said this while looking at the magic in my body.
‘That can’t be it.’
This is a conviction based on intuition.
I thought about it while patting my stomach.
I’m talking about the magic that’s attached to my body right now.
This is the magic that Cheonma gave me in my previous life.
A curse-like force that followed me even to the point of regression.
The magician’s suction cup.
In the past, it was done by simply absorbing the magic energy of the magic stone and making it into one’s own power.
I thought about it though.
Now, it is absorbing all the energy other than mine.
He even made it so that the energies flowed harmoniously without clashing with each other.
‘I was wondering if there was a change in magic while returning.’
It seems that it wasn’t just for that reason.
I don’t know what happened.
The reason why Cheonma can no longer do what he used to be able to do.
that.
Could it be because the power of the Heavenly Horse has come to me?
For now, I couldn’t help but think that way.
Thinking about it this way, I felt even more sorry for missing them.
‘I should never have missed it…’
If only I had noticed a little sooner.
Or maybe, if I had been a little more prepared, things might have been different.
“•••what’s the matter?”
I wonder if Namgung-bi heard me grinding my teeth.
He asks me in a worried voice.
I shook my head with effort, looking into those blue eyes.
“It’s nothing.”

I looked at her and tried to hide my feelings.
Because there’s nothing I can do right now.
For now, returning to the old house was the priority.
A few days passed.
We were able to escape the Wudong Mountains and reach Shanxi.
It was also because the area wasn’t that far to begin with.
There were also some stretches that were taken to speed up the recovery.
Anyway, I was able to return to Sanseo safely, so that alone was fortunate.
I guess so.
Entering the market street of Shanxi.
Someone calls out from behind.
“Little brother.”
I turned my head slightly at Gu Hee-bi’s voice.
As soon as you turn it, you can see Gu Hee-bi’s face.
It’s only natural since the current Gu Hee-bi is carried by me.
My body returned to normal and I was able to move again within a few hours.
Now that I can walk around completely, there is no need to ride on Namgungbia’s back.
There was no urethra.
Namgung Bi gave me a look of regret as she gave it to me.
I didn’t want to deal with this feeling of being left out any longer.
The problem is.
-Now that I’m fine, should you carry me?
Gu Hee-bi, who was being carried comfortably by her father, immediately called out to him and ordered him to carry her.
Because I did it.
Of course, I was going to refuse with a flustered expression, asking why I should do that.
though.
-Up.
I had no choice but to accept Gu Hee-bi obediently and carry her on my back because of my father’s firm words.
‘•••A corner of a dog’s house.’
I thought I had gotten a little stronger.
I was still far from being able to tell my father.
[It’ll take a long time for you to tell your father.]
Shin nodded at Noya’s words.
The power of the father is something that is known.
Also, I knew that he was staying in Se-ga and hiding his power.
‘I saw it in person, and it’s still the same.’

The red sky that turns the sky red.
The energy and seasons gathered in the palm of your hand.
Not to mention that heavy presence.
That was clearly an absurd level of strength for someone who was only at the level of a hundred great masters of the Central Plains.
all.
‘It’s been a long time.’
It is also a part where I can see how far I have to go again.
Did.
Because of that, I was frowning, so Gu Hee-bi, who had called me, continued speaking.
“Isn’t something strange?”
“.••what?
99
Right after the incident with the pearl of the earth, Gu Hee-bi said nothing about me speaking informally.
Didn’t do it.
Rather, I was even trying to change the subject for fear that I would bring up the subject of beads.
Of course, I don’t plan on just passing through like this, so I’ll make sure to pass through as soon as I get to Se-ga.
I’m thinking about going, though.
“People say the atmosphere is strange.”
“atmosphere?”
I looked around the market after hearing Gu Hee-bi’s words.
This is the street I saw right after I returned.
It was also the street where I first met Wi Seol-ah.
‘It’s strange?’
It’s hard to say that the atmosphere is strange, but it feels similar to usual.
“What the hell is so strange about this?”
“Hmm… isn’t it?”
As if to say, Gu Hee-bi rested her chin on my shoulder and took a comfortable position.
Get drunk.
“Now that you’ve come this far, why don’t you just walk?”
“Brother, sister is sick. How can you walk up that scary hill on foot?”
He looked at Gu Hee-bi as if he was speechless.
Namgungbia, who was walking next to me, said.
“•••Then… should I… carry it…?”
Gu Hee-bi frowns, as if she doesn’t like what Namgung Bi-a said.
“Hey, look at this guy. He’s talking to his family, why are you interfering?”

I immediately spoke to Gu Hee-bi in a voice that seemed a bit sharp.
“Why are you angry at someone who said they would help you?”
“Little brother •••. Whose side are you taking now? Are you already fighting because you got engaged?”
I thought as I looked at Gu Hee-bi, whose expression was distorted as if she had been shocked.
‘Why the hell are you doing this…?’
I wanted to throw it away on the ground, but I held back because my father was there.
With that in mind, I continued to scatter my thoughts around.
It was because what Gu Hee-bi said really bothered me.
‘•••It’s a strange atmosphere.’
Certainly, I had a vague feeling that something was different than usual in that area.
I don’t know why that is, though.
But, I’m scared to worry about this.
It was soon clear why.
“…uh?”
Immediately after returning to Sega.
The person who welcomed me was not Wi Seol-ah, Dang So-yeol, or even Lee Jang-ro.
“Hello, Mr. Gukongja.”
Long black hair, pure white skin, and sky blue eyes that seem to hold a cold air.
A beauty with slightly upturned eye corners and crimson lips who exudes a captivating aura.
“Nice to see you again.”
Seolbong (Snow Phoenix) Mo Yong-hee.
For some reason she was staying in Guga.
