Chapter 412
Episode 412
“He’s the type of guy who never opens his mouth.” Plop!
Cheon Moo-gwang nervously punched his fist.
Bicheonwoong’s body was moved around by the fist and made a violent sound.
Dozens of bones in his body had already been shattered, and his face had lost its shape.
It was swollen and bleeding.
Even my consciousness was slowly fading away.
It might have been better to faint or die like this, but as if Cheon Moo-gwang’s fist would not tolerate such things, Bi Cheon-woong actually became more conscious each time he was hit.
Bicheonwoong felt his helplessness.
Except for Emperor Chen Wu, he has never been treated as a weakling by anyone.
But everything is useless in front of Cheon Mu-gwang.
All the techniques he had, his physical movements, all the things he had learned to kill people had no effect, and only the one-sided beating stimulated his mind.
Is this what it feels like to be the weak?
Is this how those who died at his hands felt?
Is this how a rabbit feels when faced with a tiger?
Bicheonwoong sat down feeling despair.
“Lord… kill me… la…”
“Ha… there’s no way you would do something like that.”
Cheon Mukwang patted Bi Cheonwoong’s shoulder as he sat down. After putting on his tangled clothes properly, I tore off his blood-free clothes and wiped the blood from his face.
The whole series of actions was truly bizarre.
“Now tell me straight. What on earth did Emperor Wu of Chen order you to do? “Do you think it will be easier if I just say that?”
I comforted him and patted his shoulder.
It’s a gaze as if comforting a child.
Cheon Mukwang had been keeping an eye on this man named Bi Cheonwoong for a long time.
The person to whom Emperor Tian Wu entrusts work.
It seems like they are just wandering around and killing people, but if you look back one by one, there is a reason for everything.
Considering that when he first appeared and made a name for himself, it was under the orders of Emperor Tianwu, it would not be strange to judge that this Bicheonung’s every action was driven by his orders.
“I don’t think you’re just going around looking for the martial arts scriptures. No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange, right? “He was the one who spread the Martial God’s Tao Sutra, but you are actually going around to retrieve it, aren’t you?” If you think about each and every place that Salhwang Bicheonwoong attacked and slaughtered, they were the ones who were lucky enough to obtain the martial arts scriptures.
Of course, there is no such confirmation, but simple guesses are sometimes more accurate than confirmation.
“Kill… kill.”
“Do you see the one with a hat?”
Squeak-!
Cheon Mukwang threw his fist again.
Bicheonwoong’s body, having been hit in the face, leaned back sharply. However, as if he had no intention of ending it there, he reached out his hand again, grabbed his collar, and pulled him.
Cheon Mukwang’s fist moved again toward the face of Bi Cheon-ung, who had been dragged along.
Puk puk puk!
The sound of the watermelon breaking was so strong that it was loud.
A force so strong that an ordinary person’s head might have exploded already.
Bicheonwoong, who was being beaten and trembling, was coughing up blood and holding on fiercely.
“Hehehe, why don’t we stop?” At that time, I heard a human voice without any sound.
Startled, Cheon Moo-gwang stopped punching and turned his head.
There is an old man there.
Pure white hair.
Pure white uniform.
A benevolent appearance, like the good men in stories.
If you only saw him smiling, you might think he was just an ordinary old man with no hostility, but the moment Cheon Moo-gwang saw his face, he frowned and let Bi Cheon-woong go.
“I didn’t know you would come all the way to this place.”
“Hehe, the more you wander, the more likely you are to see things in unexpected places.”
“A wanderer…”
Cheon Moo-gwang looked at the old man with a longing gaze.
Why did that old man suddenly appear?
All kinds of thoughts tangled in my head.
“Are you okay?”
At that time, the figure of the old man who was about ten feet away suddenly disappeared and a voice was heard next to me. When Cheon Mu-gwang, who was startled, turned his gaze, he could see an old man helping Bi Cheon-ung, who had fallen, to his feet.
Cheon Mukwang’s eyebrows fluttered.
“What are you doing in a place like this? “There must be something to do, right?” Bicheonwoong could not open his mouth.
It would have been a hundred times better to deal with Cheon Moo-gwang. The moment the old man in front of me appeared, I felt a shiver run through my body and felt pressured to the point where I couldn’t even breathe.
Cold sweat broke out across my bloody face.
“Come on, let’s go. Surely… you wouldn’t be refusing this old man’s orders?” Bicheonwoong could not answer.
My whole body hurts and suffers.
In fact, it was difficult to move even a single step, but I forced myself to endure the pain and started walking. It is an order from an old man and not from anyone else.
Refusal was something that could never have been possible.
“Hehehe, I thought well. “Let’s go now.”
The staggering Bicheonwoong slowly disappeared from sight. It seemed clear that if he continued that way, he would lie down before long, but for now, his priority was to disappear from the old man’s sight.
Eventually, when Bi Cheon-woong was completely out of sight, the old man’s gaze turned to Cheon Muk-wang.
Our eyes met.
Red eyes like the blood demon that was once Dan Woo-hyeon’s enemy.
However, what is different from the Blood Demon is the chill in those eyes.
A gaze that seems to see through all things.
It was the same for Dan Woo-hyeon, but he was a world away from the old man in front of him.
If Dan Woo-hyeon had a glimpse into his heart and thoughts, it seemed like this old man was digging into his head and forcibly pulling it out.
“Hehehe-.”
The old man smiled.
The sound of laughter without saying anything is so annoying.
Cheon Moo-gwang broke into a cold sweat and groaned.
“So, what did you find out?”
“…I killed Prince Ryu Hwa.”
“Oh… that was really good. He was already the most annoying guy… But why is he in a place like this?”
“I stopped by by chance.”
“I stopped by by chance and caught the author…? “What does that mean?” Cheon Mukwang nodded.
A bitter sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was the same for the old man too. They are people who can read each other’s minds and understand their thoughts.
That’s why every word that was said felt like nothing more than a funny joke.
“Yes, there is something I want to ask…”
“What?”
“About that girl named Dansomi… The old man’s eyes lit up the moment the name Dansomi was mentioned. It seemed that Cheon Moo-kwang had already noticed to some extent.
“Did you send it to him?”
At that one word, the old man smiled even more kindly.
The three children looked intently at the fox lying comfortably. Even though all kinds of snacks, including sweets, were placed in front of him, the fox didn’t even look at him, as if he wasn’t even interested.
“So you should have bought raw meat.”
“No, you eat liver! Liver O…”
Hong Jinrang clutched his abdomen while talking about eating human liver. I don’t know where the liver is, but it was like he was telling me not to eat anything that was his own.
However, the fox quietly closed its eyes and did not even respond to the children’s attention.
I wanted to scream, ‘I don’t eat liver!’, but I held back because I felt that if I spoke, I would get more attention from these kids.
Someone grabbed his tail from behind and squeezed him.
I didn’t like it, so I used a lot of force to pull it out, and I heard a sound of regret.
‘Don’t touch it!’
She wanted to say that. The reason I didn’t want to open my eyes and look at the kids was because I was afraid that opening my eyes would bother them even more.
The fox endured the children’s persistent bullying for a long time and did not open its eyes until the end.
The children who kept running at us also seemed to be getting tired of it, so they retreated one by one and were busy playing other games.
At that moment, the fox opened his eyes and looked at Dansomi.
The other kids are fine too, but that one catches my eye the most.
At that time, I heard a ‘meow’ sound. Before I knew it, a white cat came in through the window, moved nimbly and climbed onto Dansomi’s head. The gaze was quietly directed at the fox, and it was a playful look, as if asking to play.
‘go away!’
The fox’s eyes became sharp.
I didn’t want to deal with a white cat in a situation where I was overwhelmed with just the kids.
As he made a strong impression, Baekmyo let out a low cry and disappeared into Dansomi’s arms.
“Ahaha go… It tickles,
sleep… Wait a minute!”
Dansomi burst out laughing
.
Once inside the body, the hair caused itchiness. The two children fidgeted for a while, not knowing what to do as they watched Dansomi giggle.
He wanted to put his hand in and take it out, but Hong Jin-rang was a boy, and Ju Ji-yak’s touch did not work on Baek Myo.
Since she doesn’t like people other than Dansomi touching her, she might get seriously hurt if she does something unnecessary.
In the end, after struggling for a while, Dansomi regained her freedom only when Baekmyo left her arms.
“Haa… haa… hee… it was difficult.”
Dansomi sighed and wiped away the cold sweat.
I glared strongly at the white cat, and the white cat seemed to still not know what it had done and said ‘Meow!’ He let out a small cry.
“I heard he gets into a lot of trouble… The cat I had before wasn’t like that.”
“Have you ever had a cat before?”
The two children tilted their heads.
When do you mean in the past? As far as the children know, the first ones raised in the Honam Danga were a white cat and a white tiger, and there was nothing after that.
Then, his eyes lit up, wondering if he was referring to the place where he originally lived.
This was because I had never heard anything from Dansomi about her life there until now.
“huh! Our family originally had cats. But the child ran away from home, so I had to search for him for a long time.”
Even though Dansomi was talking about old times, she did not feel sad. I still feel sad about my parents’ death, but now I feel like I have somewhat escaped the shock.
Zhu Ji Ruo smiled softly.
“Then I met an old man. “I went looking for cats with that old man.”
“You managed to do that with someone you don’t know.”
“Hehe, my village is a place where people don’t come often, so I was very surprised. We talked a lot about various things…”
“Stories?”
“Yes, I told him a lot of old stories. “What about dragons? There’s a nine-tailed fox…”
At the mention of nine-tailed fox, Dansomi glanced at the fox.
The fox, who had not paid any attention until now, opened his eyes and stared at Dansomi.
“I also heard about the legend of the God of War… and that the Eight Immortals were like this and that
…”
“Is he a nobleman? “It’s amazing to see that you know so many stories.”
“I do not know. Actually… I don’t remember much… that day…”
Dansomi lowered her head with a small groan.
The moment the children saw it, they realized.
It must have happened that day. Somi’s relatives died before her eyes, and her parents also passed away.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that heavenly luck was with him just because he barely survived.
Then, suddenly, Dansomi tilted her head as if she remembered something.
“Now that I think about it, I somehow resemble the old fortune teller I saw last time.”
The fox’s eyes became a little deeper.
