Absolute Regression - Chapter 330
Only Noblemtl
Episode 330 There’s only one thing I can’t do.
Surprisingly, it was at the request of the head of Pungcheon that Sobaekta gave Geommugeuk a sacred object as a gift.
“Do you know why I asked you to give a gift to Master Xiao?”
“Isn’t it because you are grateful for this incident?”
“Of course, there is a reason for that, but there is a bigger reason.”
“What is the reason?”
Then, the leader of Pungcheon said something unexpected.
“It’s because of the religious leader.”
“It’s because of me?”
The purpose was to strengthen the bond between Geommugeuk and Sobaekta. In fact, the relationship started when she herself became sick of him.
There was a big difference between just breaking up like this and expressing gratitude and gifting a new item.
Even if the other person is not someone who expects something in return, it is up to the other person to demonstrate the virtue of refusal. Even that becomes a gift.
“Don’t lose sight of your connection with Lord Xiao. “For the sake of the religious leader and for Pungcheon Church.”
Only then did Sobaekta understand Master’s deep meaning. It was also a moment when I realized once again that I highly value sword dance.
“To become a good religious leader, you must be greedy for people rather than things. Even if I use all the sacred items over there, I will create people around me who can protect the sect leader.”
“All right.”
Then the leader of Pungcheon looked closely at Sobaekta and asked.
“really? “Do you really think people are more important than the new stuff here?”
“Yeah… … .”
Sobaekta could not give a confident answer. Because just yesterday he was being manipulated by someone else.
“Yes, human relationships are disgusting. Trying to form and maintain relationships, being disappointed, and being betrayed. There really is nothing that requires so much mental energy. Still, you must give priority to caring for and managing people. Do you know why?”
The leader of Pungcheon was telling his disciple everything he had never been able to say before.
“It’s because you are the religious leader. If I lived a normal life, there would be no need to attach so much importance to human relationships. However, a religious leader is ultimately a person who rules over people. We must be able to deal with not only our school, but also friendly organizations and even enemies. Don’t forget that the fate of everyone living outside of Pungcheon Bridge and Sae will change depending on who you keep by your side and what kind of people you use.”
Before Sobaekta could reply, he added quickly.
“Isn’t that what I, who lived only looking at new objects, would say?”
“So, isn’t that something you can say?”
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
“But what did you choose?”
“I chose black tablets.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church made an expression of incomprehension, but then nodded. He chooses the best, and then he chooses the least valuable. I thought he really looked like a small sect leader.
“There is no need to feel sorry for someone else, even if you are the head of a small sect. A little while ago, you actually received a gift. So, if you get a chance later, give it to me again.”
This meant that it was actually beneficial to establish a relationship with sword dance with just one novel.
Although he shouldn’t feel this way, Sobaekta felt jealous of Geommugeuk. At the same time, he decided that he too would become someone trusted by his master.
The leader of Pungcheon was reading the inner thoughts of his disciple.
“Don’t be in a hurry. It wasn’t until I was twice your age that I began to think deeply about my life. “Until then, I felt like I was just being pushed around without any hesitation.”
I never thought I would get the feeling that my real life begins at this age.
“So don’t be impatient. “Because your real life may not have begun yet.”
Sobaekta did not want to be separated from Master.
“Are you going back with Master Xiao?”
I was afraid that people would say I had to go. The leader of the Pungcheon Church said with a smile.
“I’m going to stay with our religious leader for a while. We trained together and drank together. “We also talk about old times.”
At least for now, disciples were more important than Gowol and sword dance.
Since I was a student who still had a lot to learn compared to the other two, I wanted to stay with them a little longer and teach them.
Sobaekta smiled brightly.
“Thank you, Master.”
I was jealous and then I liked it. I see so much joy and joy even in this short period of time. Yes, Master, what you said is correct. I still have a long way to go.
* * *
My heart was pounding like it was going to explode the whole time I left Gyojujeon and returned to my residence.
My steps naturally quickened in anticipation that I might finally be able to solve the secret of Bigwe that even the Heavenly Demons of the previous generation could not solve for so many years.
After ordering the guards not to disturb anyone, he entered the room.
He took Bigweh and Black Jeong out of his pocket and placed them side by side on the table.
“Bigwe, you have a friend.”
Because he drew a smiling figure on the big picture, it looked like he was really happy to have a friend.
What do these two have to do with each other?
He picked up the black tablet and placed it on top of the big box. But nothing happened. It even vibrated and told me to choose the black tablet.
“If you’re going to be like this, why did you find this friend?”
I waited for a while, but Bigwe showed no reaction.
I turned the Bige and placed the black tablet on the other side. There was no reaction either. Put it on another side, put it on another side.
“Even if it’s uncomfortable to do a handstand, be patient.”
The moment when Bigwe, who was smiling like that, was turned over and a black candle was placed on the floor.
Sigh.
The black spirit began to be sucked into the big box.
I couldn’t have imagined that Bigwe could absorb black essence like this, so I just stared at it in surprise. As if a water droplet was being absorbed, the black spirit went straight into the raincoat.
I raised my internal strength and prepared for any eventuality, and looked at Bigwe while holding my breath.
Even after waiting for a long time, Bigwe was still there.
“you! “I ate my friend!”
The moment those words end.
Ugh!
The big box vibrated once.
“Do you understand me?”
The big box shook and vibrated again. The vibration was so strong that the table shook. The big pipe, which was vibrating horribly, floated in the air.
The Bige began spinning rapidly in the air.
Whirriririririk!
It felt like it was going to explode at any moment and fly off somewhere.
What should I do?
There was no time to think for long. I followed my instincts. After raising my self-defense skills to the limit, I grabbed Bigwet floating in the air with my hand.
Right at that moment!
Shoooooooo!
I heard a sound I had never heard before, and something black started coming out of the big box.
That black thing wasn’t smoke, it wasn’t liquid, it wasn’t energy or energy, or light. This was something I saw and felt for the first time in my life, something that cannot be expressed in words.
What came out of Bigwe spread through the hands and arms and into the body. It didn’t spread anywhere else. It spread only through my body, like ink spreading on paper.
Paaaaaaaa.
I watched it spread as it was. I could feel it instinctively. At least this is not an energy that wants to harm me. If that were the case, the Heavenly Demon Defense Technique would have been activated. If that were the case, I would have instinctively thrown Bigwe to the floor.
But I held on tightly to the Bigwe and watched it being brought to me. It shimmered like light, looked like waves, and gave a certain feeling like energy. Although it was black in color, it felt as refreshing as drinking clear water.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
The moment it spread from head to toe.
Flash!
A radiance emanated from the entire body. It was so dazzling that I squeezed my eyes shut.
When I opened my eyes again, the glow had disappeared. It had spread throughout my body and had already disappeared into my body.
I urgently looked at my body first.
The energy from Bigwe definitely seeped deep into every part of my body, but there were no special changes. The internal energy did not increase, and there was no energy gathered somewhere in the Danjeon that could not be dissolved.
But I felt it. That it remains in my body. That it exists somewhere inside the body.
‘What on earth?’
It was right then.
Rattling!
Bigwe spit out the black spirit he had swallowed.
The black spirit that bounced off rolled around on the floor.
When I picked up the black tablet and examined it, I found that it was not the shiny ink color it first appeared to be. Now it has become an ordinary piece of iron.
I knew it intuitively. The energy hidden in the black spirit was absorbed into me through Bigwe. It was the moment when Bigwe’s secret was revealed.
Bigwe was a device that absorbed energy contained in something else.
In the absence of something like black essence that can be absorbed, Bigwere is literally worthless, so how could this secret be revealed?
The reason I discovered the secret was because I didn’t try to solve it. I was able to solve the secret because I just carried it in my arms like a friend.
And another premonition.
It seemed like this wouldn’t be the end. I had a feeling that if there was an object that could absorb energy other than black spirit, I would be able to absorb it with this secret.
‘What on earth are you? ‘Who made it?’
Bigwe just turned upside down and smiled brightly at me, as if nothing had happened.
Now that I know where the top is, I need to draw the face again.
* * *
The next day we said goodbye.
While the guards woke up early in the morning and were busy preparing the carriage, Pungcheon and Sobaekta came out to see us off.
“Go back carefully.”
In response to Sobaekta’s greeting, I told him what I really wanted to say.
“You know this because you have experienced it yourself, but there are people who plot in the dark. “Please be careful from now on.”
“I will. “Please also take care of the leader.”
Next, we said goodbye to the head of Pungcheon Church.
Seeing him so sad even though we hadn’t broken up for a long time makes me think that I must have developed a lot of affection for him.
“Do you know what I felt while dealing with Shinwoong Cheolbang this time?”
“What did you feel?”
“They didn’t know where they belonged and what their goal was. However, the hands and feet were working well together. Do you know who came to mind when I looked at them? It was Eunwol. “It is an organization that is made up of a strict branch organization but operates under a perfect system.”
So this is exactly what he wanted to tell you.
“There must be someone really smart like you and Gowal behind it.”
When you reach Pungcheon Bridge, you can see how big and violent this monster is just by touching its tail.
“I will deal with you with that in mind. thank you for telling me.”
“I will send a separate message to Gao Yue. “I won’t be gone for too long.”
“Please make yourself at home.”
“Goodbye to our Sogyoju who robbed Pungcheon Bridge.”
He grinned as he thought about attacking me with this for a while.
I also didn’t let it go.
“When I looked at new items this time, there were a lot of things left that I was greedy for.”
The head of the Pungcheon Church shouted at Sobaekta.
“Protect our sacred items well from the small religious leader!”
If the farewell to me ended with a joke and a joke, it was a very blunt farewell to Mabul.
“I will go first.”
“See you at school.”
However, the two people looked at each other differently than before.
So I left Mabul and Pungcheon Bridge. When we came, there were three people, but when we left, there were only two people left. But it felt like the four of us were spinning in our hearts.
Pungcheonjyoju and Sobaekta watched in front of the main gate until our carriage disappeared.
* * *
The way back was leisurely.
When we saw a high mountain, we stopped the carriage, climbed up, cut down poisonous plants, and camped in the wilderness looking at the stars.
Meals were prepared using animals that the guards had hunted. I told the guards how to prepare animal hides, which parts of meat are delicious, and how to cook them so they are not tough. Thanks to this, the escorts’ cooking skills improved as the days passed.
“There’s really nothing Master Xiao can’t do.”
I shook my head in admiration from the guards.
“There’s only one thing I can’t do.”
“What is it?”
Without letting them know, I sighed and turned around.
So today, I ate well and went to bed with a bonfire in the middle.
I lay down and looked up at the night sky and said to Mabul.
“Now that I think about it, Mabul-nim is also a star.”
Beyond the bonfire, Mabul turned towards us.
“What does it mean?”
“You always shine like the stars, right?”
Mabul’s face is visible beyond the flickering fire. He looked at me intently to see if I had gotten used to it now.
“I’m not sick of anything like the Pungcheon religious leader.”
“But you have poisonous plants, right?”
Although I cut out seven Mabuls, I still couldn’t dig up a single one. The one thing I couldn’t do that I didn’t tell my escorts about was digging up herbs.
“Please just give me one!”
Mabul made a puzzled expression and then turned over to lie on the other side.
I know how he feels. I want to hear from the King of Poison that our Mabul is the best. I want to become a special person who can dig up poisonous plants that no one can dig up.
The more I do that, the more I want to play pranks.
At that time, I got up without a sound and tried to quietly walk towards Mabul’s box of canned herbs.
Mabul lay down and stretched out his hand there.
The golden radiance extending from the palm turned into a golden dragon and wrapped around the box as if protecting it. It was the Golden Great Lama Ball of Mabul.
“That’s too much! I am the leader of Sogyo! “He is the person who will become the Heavenly Demon in the future!”
As if it wasn’t working, the golden dragon burped and howled fiercely.
“Yes, I need to sleep. “I’m sleeping.”
I lay down again. The guard in charge, Jeok-yeon, who was watching us from a little distance, couldn’t help but laugh, and when his eyes met mine, he turned his head in the opposite direction.
Mabul, who was lying down, softly called to me.
“Sujiaoju.”
“Yes, Mabul.”
After a moment, Mabul spoke.
“Thank you.”
I was looking at the stars in the night sky. The starlight was unusually bright today.
“me too.”
We didn’t ask each other what we were thankful for.
Like that, I returned to the Heavenly Demon God Church, cutting through the sandstorm outside the world.
