Absolute Regression - Chapter 306

Episode 306: What kind of mazon believes in superstitions?

After leaving Cheondokrim, the place we headed towards was Daechwirim.

As always, Yeobin, a third-generation drunkard, guided me to Chwima.

I asked her as we crossed the lake in a boat.

“Chwima, do you still drink a lot these days?”

“You once cut back a lot, but these days you seem to be drinking too much.”

The look in her eyes was hoping that I would stop her. Yeo-bin is the only woman who likes her husband and cares for him wholeheartedly.

So I arrived at the island and climbed up to Chumonglu.

I was already drunk.

“Anyway, does it really come last? Am I last among the Magons? “Otherwise, this can’t be done.”

Chuma did not hide his disappointment.

“I need to meet my brother at the end so I can drink comfortably.”

“Excuses are good.”

“Oh my brother, please understand. “It was a tiring day.”

I sat comfortably in front of the horse with my legs spread out.

“You don’t know that, do you? “I feel most comfortable when I’m with my brother.”

“I guess it’s easy!”

“is it?”

Chuma shook his head as if he couldn’t stop him and poured him a drink. Suddenly, his expression relaxed. Rather than making lame excuses, it’s better to say ‘Is that so?’ A single word can have such great power.

We drank together.

As the strong drink went down my throat, I felt hot. It was a stronger drink than the alcohol that drunkards used to drink.

“You said you were drinking less, but you were drinking stronger alcohol.”

“If it’s strong, drink this drink.”

Chwima brought another bottle of liquor from the pavilion and poured it for me. And he drank the strong drink he normally drank.

What are you worried about?

I was curious, but I didn’t ask first. There are only two ways to get the truth from a drunkard. Make him sober up, or give him more alcohol.

“Now, one more drink!”

Whatever his concerns, he felt better after getting drunk and drinking for the first time in such a long time.

“The atmosphere is amazing.”

Today, the thick fog and the moon shining hazy in the clouds further enhanced the excitement of the night.

“Whenever I think of drinking while I’m out, this place always comes to mind. Is your brother drinking? Is he floating in the lake?”

“It’s so cold now that I can’t go into the water.”

“Time flies so fast.”

It was spring just yesterday, but it’s already cold. We each drank and thought for a while. I definitely drank more than usual.

“My wife said she was very worried because my brother drinks a lot.”

“I’m worried about meeting Yeobin.”

“Be good when people care about you. “Don’t regret it later.”

“regret?”

I gave him a look asking what he meant, but he didn’t answer. Why are you asking if you know? She may seem like she’s just drinking alcohol, but she’s a delicate and sensitive person. How could she not know that Yeo-bin likes her as a man? She must be pretending not to know.

If you look at it that way, none of the Mazons could form a family. Fortunately, Kwon Ma recently had a daughter. Everyone lives alone like this.

Is it because our families are enemies, as Hyeolcheon Doma says? Is it because family is a weakness?

“I have somewhere to go with you for a while.”

Chuma took me on the boat.

We rowed the boat and brought it to the shore opposite the entrance. Chuma got off the boat and walked into the forest. I only came to Chumonglu to meet you, and Daechwirim is also a very large place.

After walking for a while, there was a thick fog around. I felt something strange, so I looked and saw that it wasn’t fog. It was a cycle. This was my first time seeing a cycle spread out like a fog like this.

“If you are exposed to this place, you will get drunk and pass out. It’s not a cycle that can be pulled out with internal strength, so the average person will never be able to pass it. “Follow me closely.”

As Chwima walked, the cycle parted and created a path.

As if it were still alive, as we passed by, the divided cycles merged and the road disappeared.

I couldn’t even run to Gyeonggong. I couldn’t see ahead because of the fog that was covering the road, and the road was complicated like a maze. In the end, this road was a forbidden area in Daechwirim, where only horseback riding could go.

As soon as I got out of the maze, the cycle finally cleared.

A building standing in front of you.

“It’s a place where drunkards drink alcohol for generations.”

I followed him inside. The place was decorated like a brewery. The facilities looked old and old, but each one of them looked unusual. In the cabinet on the wall, alcoholic beverages favored by former drinkers were stored.

“I like to drink a variety of alcohol, so I don’t drink a lot here. Moreover, although I have the talent to drink it, I am not very good at making it. So, I come here sometimes and take a rest.”

Among the breweries, there was an unusual-looking drinking glass.

Chuma looked down at it and said with a serious expression.

“The alcohol went bad a while ago.”

As expected, there was a rotten smell coming from there.

“I have never been like this since I became a mazon.”

Chwima added with a dark expression.

“It’s ominous.”

I finally found out. Why did Chuma look so worried?

“Am I going to die?”

“It looks like you don’t want to die.”

“How many drinks have I not had yet?”

“don’t worry. “When you die, I will buy all the alcohol in Joongwon and sprinkle it on your grave.”

Chuma sighed. In his mind, which felt ominous, it seems that before the earthquake, flocks of birds took off and animals started running in groups. I really never thought it would be serious for this reason.

“What kind of mazon is superstitious?”

“Master once said something like that. If the spirit goes bad, big trouble will happen. Either Daechwima will have a problem or the school will have a problem. Of course, I didn’t believe it.”

It looks like he is in a state of disarray as he is intoxicated.

“If it bothers you that much, let your father know.”

“no! “I have finally resolved the misunderstanding with the religious leader.”

Originally, Chu Ma misunderstood that his father hated him. But he cleared up the misunderstanding after realizing that it wasn’t him and that he hated his master.

“I also gave the leader a gift of alcohol. He’s been doing well so far. But wouldn’t you feel bad if you heard that your drunkenness was bad? Well, that’s right, the master is the disciple. Anyway, they are like unlucky drunkards.”

I wonder if he cares and worries about such things, but such a delicate person is addicted. At least this was especially true in my relationship with my father.

“Father, I will dismiss it as superstition and drink it. “Because you are that kind of person.”

I asked, examining the glass filled with alcohol.

“How can I clean this up? “I accidentally broke it, but it is a thousand-year-old treasure of Daechwirim. Don’t scare people by saying that.”

“why? Clean up now? it’s okay. “I will do it later.”

“Do something later. You’re going to get rid of it alone, thinking all kinds of gloomy and bad thoughts. “Clean it up while I’m there.”

I emptied the spoiled alcohol in the glass along with the drink.

While I was fetching water and washing the glasses, Chwima prepared to pour new drinks.

I said to him while washing the glass.

“I’m not hurt because of you. There is someone who is trying to disrupt our school these days. “I’m sure you got hurt because of that unlucky guy.”

“There’s no need to make things up just to comfort me.”

“I’m not making this up. “We are mobilizing Hwangcheongak and Tongcheongak to investigate.”

“Is there really such a person?”

“there is. You can’t look down on my brother. “I figured out all these things.”

Nevertheless, Chwima’s expression did not become comfortable. I can’t watch Mazon get eaten up by superstitions again.

“Do you think a person’s future is fixed?”

“To some extent.”

“I am not. My relationship with my brother changes depending on what I say to him right now, so what on earth is fixed? I think the reason my spirit was soured was because fate tried to bring me here. If it hadn’t happened, I would never have known that a place like this existed. How can you know what’s going on in the world? I wonder if someday I will run away from here in danger. “This is not an ominous warning, but a reminder of a great destiny that will save my brother’s life.”

“You really put it together well.”

I laughed because it was absurd, but it seemed like my ominous feelings had eased a lot thanks to this. Chuma’s expression brightened.

“You waited for me so long to hear these words?”

Chuma obediently admitted it.

“It was more than I expected.”

“Please continue to use us often, sir!”

He said as he put the cleaned drinking glass back in its original place.

“All you need to pay for it is one drink and my brother, who likes superstitions.”

* * *

When I returned to my residence, the night shift escorts greeted me warmly.

“You look tired.”

Since returning from Gangseojidan, I have met people almost non-stop. Besides, where are the normal people?

“I’m going to rest now, so don’t disturb me.”

I came into the room as if I was going to throw myself on the bed at once, but instead of sleeping, I opened the space-time transformation technique.

What is my attitude toward dealing with ominousness? It is training.

If something bad happens, just get rid of it. I endure it by becoming a being that can’t do anything about bad luck. I worked so hard to get through it. Bad luck, what can you do?

In the space-time anomaly, he again used the secret art of time and space to make time flow differently.

Through my hard work, I have been able to spend twice as much time outside as I did outside. I don’t even hope for infinite time. The ultimate goal of Sicheon Secret Art is to create a time difference of exactly ten times. Please, just wait until the time to achieve the Twelve Stars of the Nine Fire Magic Gongs.

Today’s training was nine fire magic. I had been practicing only the first chosik over and over again, but I instinctively felt that it was time to learn the second chosik. This is the state of my martial arts skills that has reached its extreme level.

Guhwamagong Jay Chosik

Mass destruction.

If the first attack was an attack targeting only one person, the second attack was an attack targeting many people.

As I exercised Jaychosik, a demon appeared silently in front of me with his back turned.

It was the scariest-looking demon among the four demons that appeared in Ilchosik.

For a moment, I thought his body was shaking slightly.

Sreuk.

The evil spirit split. The total number of divisions is three.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The three demons swept forward, brandishing their swords.

There was nothing left where they passed. It was an attack that wiped out everything that was there.

As the level of Jay Herbivory rises, the number of divisions increases.

Eventually, it will split into dozens and become herbivorous, wiping out everything in sight.

Of course, the amount of internal energy consumed will increase depending on the number of divisions.

How many divisions can the Father divide?

I will surpass the numbers my father produces.

What are my limits?

My heart pounded as I remembered the sight of demons sweeping away everything in front of me.

When I remembered that image, I couldn’t sleep.

I devoted myself to Icho style training until morning, and by the time the sun rose, I was almost exhausted.

Now is the time to really rest.

I solved the secret art of time and space and used the space-time transformation technique again. The space I cherish the most has unfolded.

Hot sun, blue sea, white sandy beach, comfortable chairs under broad-leafed trees.

It’s been a really long time. I saved it on purpose. To open a day like this.

I flopped down on a chair.

Looking at the sea and sky as blue as my sword, I felt at ease.

Whether the spirit was spoiled, whether the servant was installed, or whether there was a mastermind. For this moment, I forgot everything and rested.

I put down the big box I had in my arms next to me. She drew her eyes and mouth like a human on the monument. She had a wide smile on her face.

He said he would open it every day, but he never told him to open it after he got the Bige.

“You too, rest. For so many years, people were urging you to open, to open. How difficult was it? “You rest and I rest too.”

Sleep swept over me. Suma guided me to a person I had not seen in a long time.

In my dream I was standing in the sky.

Above the sea that resembles the sky, it was in my prayers.

Then a shadow fell and the world became dark. When I turned around, I saw something huge blocking the sun. At first, I thought it was a tsunami as high as a castle wall, but it wasn’t.

Heavenly Demon Soul.

The thing that had appeared to me several times appeared in my dreams. The Heavenly Demon Spirit was looking down at me with her arms crossed. Because her back was to the sun, she couldn’t see the face clearly.

But I knew it instinctively. That this is my Heavenly Demon Soul.

I stared at the Heavenly Demon Soul, wanting to see its face. But at this moment, even Shinanjutsu did not work.

‘Do you also want me to reach you faster?’

The Heavenly Demon Spirit just looked down at me in silence.

Three days later, the first report was received from Seo Dae-ryong’s office.

“Despite thoroughly examining the status of Saujong’s property, we did not find anything particularly suspicious.”

“There is no trace of money going back and forth?”

“yes. “When we analyze his savings and spending habits, he is a person who is not very interested in money.”

Seo Daeryong asked cautiously.

“Aren’t you really trying to die at the hands of the Subsoul Mazon?”

I shook my head.

“It’s actually a worse case. What you mean is that you were moved by something other than money, right? If he were a charlatan, he would have moved for the greater good, but he is not that kind of person.”

“Master Xiaojiao believes that there is someone behind this guy.”

“It’s about keeping multiple possibilities in mind.”

If we think about Baekcheon-gyeong of the Mokcheon family who infiltrated the Murim Alliance, we cannot guarantee that there is no such person in our school. We must always keep in mind the possibility that there may be someone behind any incident that occurs in the future.

“This is about surveillance of Saujong’s daily routine.”

I calmly looked at his day written on paper. There was one thing that stood out in my daily life, no different from that of ordinary warriors.

“What is the flower garden here?”

“I’ve been going to that flower garden often lately. He said he would go and sit blankly and then come back. “Ilhwa Geomzon was the one who helped take care of the flower garden, so it wouldn’t be strange for him to come in and out of the flower garden.”

“No, is it strange? If it were me, I wouldn’t even want to see the flower. If I had gone out of my way to learn the geomungo, I wouldn’t have suspected anything. “But everyone says that, so you regularly visit places that don’t seem suspicious?”

“It’s suspicious when you think like that. Oh, I’m so glad that Master Xiao isn’t my classmate. “I wouldn’t have been able to enter at the top of my class.”

I laughed at his joke and got up from my seat.

Since it was clear where I was going now, Seo Dae-ryong looked at the flower pot on the window and said.

“Saminja, you will make a friend.”
