Episode 331: Is poisonous weed a bitch?
The swirling tension collided with the erected main sword.
The sword did not break despite the loud bang and impact.
“Do not be afraid! “The moment you get scared, you die!”
The person who shouted was Hyeolcheon Doma, and the person who blocked the tension by raising his sword like a shield was Seo Dae-ryong. The long sword he used was a gift from Hyeolcheon Doma. The same sword he used when he was young.
“Here we go again!”
Even more powerful tension was released from the hand of the blood chopping block.
Seo Dae-ryong injected internal power into the great sword and placed it in front of him again.
Quack!
It was stronger than before, but it held its ground this time too.
Behind the erected capital, Seo Dae-ryong was feeling fear. I feel like his arm will fall off just from this attack. He thought that if a stronger attack came his way, he might die. What if the master overestimates himself too much? Should he say he can’t stop it anymore?
At that time, the words engraved on Tao Day came into Seo Dae-ryong’s eyes.
Unmatched.
It was a letter engraved by Hyeolcheon Doma when he was young. I could feel what kind of mindset the master had in training at the time. The will to not be defeated by anyone is contained in those two letters.
‘Yes, hold on! Even if my arm breaks, I can hold on!’
The moment I gritted my teeth to increase my internal strength, an even stronger tension flew into me.
I love you so much!
The merciless tension flew with greater force and collided with Seo Dae-ryong’s will.
After a while.
smart.
At the sound of tapping the sword, Seo Dae-ryong came to his senses and raised his head. Hyeolcheondoma was standing next to Tao and looking at him. Had she lost her mind while standing?
“Are you alive?”
“I think so.”
Seo Dae-ryong’s face was pale and his arms were trembling.
“Did I stop it?”
“okay.”
I was so happy that I raised my hands and screamed. Her arms and her entire body were in so much pain that she couldn’t even move. I felt like I was going to die from the pain.
The blood-cheon sword pressed the handle of the sword that was blocking the front. Then the sword suddenly fell into the ground.
Then, he made Seo Dae-ryong sit against the sword and injected internal energy into his chest to heal his injuries. If I had blocked it one more time, I would have really died by then.
“Aren’t you afraid that your sword will break?”
“yes.”
Seo Dae-ryong answered honestly.
“It’s natural to be scared. But you have to believe it. You must have faith that you can block any attack. “The Destruction Demonic Style is a martial art that begins with that belief and ends with that belief.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Hyeolcheondoma took out a medicinal herb from his pocket and handed it to Seo Dae-ryong.
“Take it.”
“What is this?”
“It’s Demon Jeongdan.”
Seo Dae-ryong was surprised to hear the word Majeongdan. Demon Jeongdan was one of the elixirs representing the Demonic Cult. This was the elixir that Geommugeuk obtained from Socheon-dong.
“I asked the religious leader for a special one.”
“Such a precious thing! It’s not possible.”
Then, Hyeolcheondoma glared at Seo Dae-ryong and said coldly.
“Then isn’t my best disciple valuable?”
For a moment, Seo Dae-ryong was startled.
“no!”
“Then take it.”
Although Seo Dae-ryong was surprised and embarrassed, he could no longer refuse, so he took Demon Jeongdan. He used the mind method and dissolved the medicinal properties of the magic tablet.
The energy of the Demonic Spirit that circulated in the blood became a great internal energy and was stored in the Danjeon.
Seo Dae-ryong slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze deepened. A magnificent inner power that could not be compared to before stirred in the dantian. Seo Dae-ryong was so moved that he didn’t know if this was a dream or reality. He had thought that he would not be able to take elixirs like Demonic Dan until his death.
Seo Dae-ryong stood up from his place and bowed deeply to Hyeolcheondoma.
“I will not forget the grace you have given me until I die.”
I gave him the Tao that he used when he was young, and now he has even given him the Demon Jeongdan. They truly consider him a successor. This is the result of being drunk at a pub and holding on to the leg of his pants. I won’t let go of your hand until I die.
“Only when you have this level of internal strength can you handle the second half of the Annihilation Heaven Demonic Style. And future training will be much more difficult and difficult.”
“I will definitely do it.”
Knowing full well that he is a disciple who works hard to reduce work and sleep, Hyeolcheondoma nodded with a look of pride. If he overcomes this hurdle, Seo Dae-ryong will rise to the ranks of true experts.
Two people left the training ground.
As two people with swords on their backs walked side by side, they gave off a truly overwhelming atmosphere.
“Have you heard any news from Master Xiao yet?”
“I received word that you are coming back, but I don’t know exactly when you will arrive.”
Seo Dae-ryong really wanted to see the sword dance. I missed him so much that a few days ago he even appeared in my dream. I need to meet him quickly and brag about the fact that Master gave me the Demon Spirit Dan.
At that time, the demon of the Namdo sect came and reported to Hyeolcheondoma.
“It is said that Lord Xiao has arrived.”
Seo Dae-ryong’s expression brightened.
“Go see.”
“yes.”
Seo Dae-ryong ran like the wind because he wanted to see his face first before entering Gyojujeon.
In his haste, he failed to notice that the same joy was blooming on Hyeolcheondoma’s face.
Right now, all I wanted to do was watch the sword dance.
* * *
“Why did it get late?”
Instead of answering Chwima’s question, Ilhwa Geomzon emptied his glass.
“It’s nice to drink it after a long time.”
The two were drinking at Chumonglu in Daechwirim.
“What is martial arts training? They say they came from the Murim Alliance? Or do you have any chance of showing off to a bastard who is good at using a sword?”
Even if it wasn’t a rumor that Ilhwa Geomzon was addicted to martial arts, it was evident from his behavior that would have been unimaginable in the past.
She had no make-up in front of Chuma and was wearing only a pure white military uniform, but she was wearing a gray military uniform stained with dirt. Even before she came here, she had been practicing martial arts.
“My name is Geomzon, but I have to end it with the sword.”
“so why? Why all of a sudden?”
Ilhwa Geomzon poured alcohol into his glass.
“Why are you making such a fuss about a warrior practicing martial arts?”
The words ‘I’m embarrassed’ rose up in my throat, but I couldn’t say them. That drunkard would ask me every detail, but I couldn’t give him an answer like that.
I was embarrassed to have anything to do with Saujong, and I was also embarrassed to have cared about my appearance. When I think back on the past days when I had a conflict with Hyeolcheon Doma, it was the same.
“Still, it’s nice to see.”
Ilhwageomjon’s mood improved with Chuma’s words.
“I heard you also cut down on drinking and practice these days?”
He was not a drunkard who drank alcohol. The look in Chuma’s eyes as he started to control his drinking was different from before. Because I wasn’t the type of person to drink alone while watching everyone change.
“This is all because of Su Jiao-ju.”
Ilhwa Geomzon smiled slightly. That was correct. It was because of Sogyoju that not only he but the other Mazons changed.
“It’s time to arrive, right?”
“It will come when the time comes.”
Ilhwageomjon was able to guess why Chuma was grumpy.
Geommugeuk took Mabul with him when he left school this time. I guess he secretly hoped that I would have asked him to come with me. Wasn’t Mabul even someone who supported the Archduke? I see regret dripping into the glass. He was good at drinking and talking nonsense, but he wasn’t the type of person to show his emotions like this.
‘Mistress Su, I guess it’s because of you.’
Ilhwa Geomzon finished his last glass and stood up.
“why? “Are you going already?”
“I have to train.”
“no! “It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so let’s have some more fun.”
“Do it next time. “Today is an important practice.”
With those words, Chuma emptied his drink again.
“Even the leader of the small church abandoned me and my friends abandoned me. Yes, the only friend I have is alcohol.”
Ilhwa Geomzon said while looking at Yeobin, a third-generation drunk, who was walking this way.
“Is that really the case?”
I knew what he meant, but Chu Ma didn’t look away from his glass.
Yeo-bin came to the two and reported politely.
“It is said that Lord Xiao has returned.”
Chuma jumped up from his seat.
“Where are you going?”
“My younger brother went all the way to Sae-o-e and came back. I have to go see it.”
This is what Ilhwa Geomzon heard those words say. Let’s go without me and see how well you did!
“You can’t go and get drunk!”
“Hey, don’t get drunk there.”
The horse leaped forward and crossed the lake on a float.
Yes, everyone took turns performing sword dance and excommunicating the school. Even though he behaves well, he has never been able to go out, so it’s natural to feel sad.
Ilhwa Geomzon boarded the ferry boat with Yeo Bin.
“Do you need a lot of work?”
Yeobin, who was rowing, smiled faintly because she knew he was talking about a horse.
Ilhwa Geomzon usually didn’t say anything to her, but today there was something he wanted to say. As a woman, she also cares about her husband.
“I regret my past self. “Please don’t do that.”
Although much of the story was omitted, Yeo-bin knew what she was talking about.
The boat carrying Ilhwa Geomzon quietly crossed the foggy lake.
* * *
Poisonous smoke rose from all over Cheondogrim.
Today was a special training day for the Cheondokgrim Germans.
Most of those who began training had from one to three poison pouches on their waists.
Due to the nature of poisoning, the practice of distributing poison externally like this could not be done often. Because there was nothing more dangerous than a poisonous person with clumsy skills. So, when I trained, I did it under the strict control of my seniors.
When they decoded the poison, their seniors who had at least five poison sacs immediately deciphered the poison. This was because if the wind blew the poisonous smoke outside, something terrible could happen. It is always more difficult to decipher than to read.
A little away from there, in a space where poison had been sprayed, people were practicing detoxification by mixing various herbs provided there. It was such a dangerous practice that if you were late, you could lose your life. This place was directly guided and managed by seniors who had more than seven poison bags.
On the other side, the practice of throwing poisonous memorized weapons was in full swing. Dark skills were essential to learn before using poison freely. Their senior leader was telling them why Germans die the most. The number one cause of death for poisoners is death from their own poison!
After one training session, all the Germans gathered in one place.
The Poison King stepped in front of them.
“In actual combat, when drones deal with us, there are two reactions. Either run away without looking back, or rush at me scary. All they think is that they should be killed before they spread poison. Because they attack while holding their breath, most people are killed without even using the poison properly. “At best, it’s like Donggwiejin.”
The Dog King standing in front of the Germans looked completely different from his usual appearance. At least for this moment, he had come out of his own world and was leading his subordinates.
Newcomers do not know what the twelve poison pouches on his waist mean. As the number of pockets increases, the respect will also increase.
“The most important martial arts for a German is not the Hadok technique or the Am technique. It’s the Bobeop and Gyeonggong. If you chase it, you should be able to run away and chase it, and if it runs away, you should be able to chase it faster than that. He must hold his breath and dodge opponents who swing their swords. Your life depends on this race against time. Do you understand?”
A loud reply came from the Germans.
“Okay then, let’s start training.”
Then the senior Germans came out and started training in Bobeop and Gyeonggong.
The Poison King stood silently and watched the training.
At that time, a merchant ship came and reported.
“The Little Lord is back… … .”
Before the words were finished, the poison king was no longer there. It was the moment when everyone got to see for themselves what the King of Poison was like.
* * *
I stood still and took a deep breath.
This school has a unique smell. When I smell this smell when I return from school, I feel relieved that I have finally returned.
The first person to welcome us was Seo Dae-ryong.
“Master Sujiao!”
If it were just the two of us, we would have rushed in and hugged each other without mercy.
Seo Dae-ryong came and greeted me with a polite expression.
“Did you have a good time?”
“How have you been, Mr. Lord?”
The true intention flew away in a thunderous tone.
-I missed you! Please take me with you next time!
―Who guards Hwangcheongak?
―It will run just fine without me! I will definitely follow you! I made it clear!
-Okay, let’s go. Cross the blood poison net and a room filled with thousands of poisonous snakes, and pass through a place where a huge evil spirit is trying to explode you by stepping on it. You too should enjoy the urgency of your shadow rising up and trying to kill you.
―… … .
―… … .
-It’s unfortunate, but I have to protect Hwangcheongak. Why can’t the organization run without me?
How can you not know? His desire to go out with me. How much do you miss the time when we went to Soryongjeon together? So hurry and become stronger, my right hand man!
If the first person to welcome me was Seo Dae-ryong, the first person to welcome Mabul was King Dok.
He ran like the wind and landed in front of us. He urgently asked Mabul.
“My poisonous plant! “What about poisonous plants?”
I said, blocking the way of the Poison King.
“I have been there. “I made it safely to Sae-o, where lives and lives were at stake!”
The Poison King pushed me aside and only looked at Mabul.
Even the eyes of Mabul, who was facing him, were alive. Isn’t it Mabul who worked so hard for this moment?
“Here it is.”
Mabul put down the box he was carrying. The Poison King squatted in front of him, and Seo Dae-ryong and I squatted together to watch.
When I slowly opened the box, I found a row of poisonous plants.
“oh! Have you heard this much? From Handokcho (寒毒草) to Yeongbulcho (English Buddhism)! This small poisonous plant is really difficult to dig up. Thank you. Thank you so much.”
The Poison King was overjoyed. He showed that he was happy because the poison king had dug it up, but this was not the case. He was truly happy that he had saved the poisonous plant.
So how could Mabul be negligent in digging up poisonous plants?
“It’s truly a gift from heaven.”
“I was lucky.”
Only then did the Poison King glance at me.
“What did you can?”
It would be better if I answered, “I was more shocked by those eyes that showed no expectations at all.”
I said, pointing to one of the canned poisonous herbs.
“When I was digging that thing, I was the one who asked me to dig it up on that mountain. If it weren’t for me… … .”
The Poison King did not even listen to all my desperate words, but instead picked up the box of Juseomjuseom and said to Mabul.
“Come eat dinner later!”
“Let’s do that.”
The gazes of the Poison King and Mabul were intertwined in the air. In the meantime, I shouted.
“I’m going too!”
But the Poison King left without answering.
The effort of digging up poisonous plants was not visible on Mabul’s face as he looked at the back of the Poison King.
“I knew it would be like this. Just give me one root. “Heartless Mabul!”
Then someone spoke from behind.
“Then next time, let’s go out with someone friendly.”
When I turned around, I saw Chuma walking towards me.
Then Mabul spoke to me with meaningful eyes.
“Now it’s your turn to show off.”
