Episode 364
White-haired Heavenly Demon
The Cheonhye Sangdan’s ascending line left Baekun Mountain and continued to move west.
In the meantime, as they crossed several counties and even provincial borders, many checkpoints blocked their path.
“No problem! Pass!”
“!?”
“??”
“???”
“Why? Is there a problem?”
“Oh, no! I’ll just move on! Thank you for your hard work!”
Every time, they would just let people pass through the gates without doing any checking. Among them, there were many who pretended not to see them at all, like ghosts.
Moreover, there was no pursuit of the unbridled that was expected… … .
Meng Yak-ran and the faction members, who had never let their guard down for even a moment, ended up with confused expressions on their faces.
On the other hand, the White God Army and the Vampire Demon did not look at all flustered and instead had expressions on their faces as if it was natural.
In the end, Maeng Yak-ran had no choice but to ask Ya Baek-shin-gun.
“How on earth… how can you two be so comfortable?”
“Why? Do you think we are pretending that nothing is wrong for the sake of the believers?”
Ya Baek Shin-gun smiled faintly when he saw his daughter’s face.
Maeng Yak-ran nodded heavily.
“I thought so at first, but….”
“But? It seems like you think differently now.”
“… If there is something, it will be difficult for even the merchants to be at peace.”
“Hahaha. That’s right.”
“What the hell is going on?”
Maeng Yak-ran knew very well what kind of place Cheonhye Sangdan was.
It boasts a large scale that makes it one of the top ten organizations in the world, and is currently semi-subordinate to the Justice Alliance.
It’s strange that such a place would help them so nonchalantly, but the vampire demon seems so friendly with the one who appears to be their leader.
Above all… … .
‘Even the believers are now all comfortable. The morale has warmed up.’
Just a few days ago, they were questioning whether they had really been in a life-threatening situation.
They were the only ones still feeling uneasy here.
“The existence of the small religious group is so great… .”
Maeng Yak-ran no longer had the thought of making Ya Baek-shin-gun her leader.
If, as the White Knights say, Yun-Hwi really did defeat the Black King and save them, then no one would be able to overcome his authority now.
Even if the cult leader returned, it would be difficult to break the faith in Unhwi.
If it’s martial arts, … if it’s popularity, it’s popularity, if it’s authority, it’s authority, if it’s faith, it’s faith.
Has there ever been anyone since the first Heavenly Horse who received this much support?
“When you were young, you often practiced alone and didn’t have much time to spend with the young sect leader. That’s why it might not have reached you very well.”
“… … .”
“But to us, the Sogyo leader was a child, a brother, and now he is like a parent. He is the light of hope. Who can dare to reject that light when it shines so beautifully?”
Maeng Yak-ran pursed her lips tightly.
“You may reject him. You may not believe him. But before that, let’s take a good look at him. Whether he is someone we can serve or not.”
Maeng Yak-ran couldn’t say anything more. All she could do was nod heavily.
And that night, the cult leader returned.
* * *
“How does it feel to be a new Heavenly Horse?”
I frowned as I watched the vampire horse approaching me, laughing heartily.
He put the mask back on so his face wasn’t clearly visible.
The vampire horse probably read my mood.
The corners of my mouth don’t even touch the ground, they don’t even touch the ground.
“Where on earth did you hear that? You haven’t had time to worry about the outside world until now?”
“Have you forgotten who my lover is?”
“Shit.”
“I heard the rumors are spreading like wildfire. The world of martial arts is in an uproar. The Blood Demon Cult guys are probably getting pretty worked up about it.”
When I first heard nicknames like Baekbalcheonma and such, I felt so awkward.
Although I said that I would become a Heavenly Horse, I was not proud of being strong enough to become one.
I wonder if the master is asking if I will take his place later… … .
“Still, you can be proud. It’s only been a while since you started using your will in earnest, and you’ve already caught the Ark of the Covenant.”
Oh Gwang nodded while patting my shoulder.
However, there was no word from Pilmaon. He had an expression of uncertainty and anxiety for some unknown reason.
Then, when our eyes met, he smiled brightly. As if to ask if there was a problem.
It seemed like he was quite upset.
“Anyway, it seems like the believers are shaking their butts quite a bit. After all, from the leader to the master, they are both among the top ten masters in the world. And on top of that, two Heavenly Horses in one generation, wow!”
Everyone is making a fuss because they’re drunk on the magic of the Heavenly Demon Sect! The vampire demon added something like that.
“But you still can’t officially use the title of Cheonma. You haven’t passed the Cheonma Shipgwan (天魔十關) and opened the Four Demon Gates and Cheonma Festival (天魔祭).”
Cheonmasipgwan was a forbidden and sacred place in Cheonsan that only the past cult leaders could enter.
In order to enter this place, you must complete all of the Hogyo Shingong, and those who pass through the ten gates in the sanctuary based on this are awarded the title of ‘Cheonma’.
The Sima Gate is the last of the four gates of the Cheonmasipgwan. Every time you pass through it, you can obtain the excellent affinity of the Sanggomurim. When you pass through the last Cheonma Gate and light the sacred fire at the altar and perform a ritual, all the rituals are complete.
Since the master also performed the Cheonma ritual here, he was officially awarded the title of Cheonma.
I heard that at the time, he was 34 years old, making him the youngest person ever to ascend to the throne.
If things were as they were, I would have to enter Cheonmasipgwan to perform the Cheonmasijae.
The mountains were still too far away.
When can I get there?
I heard that after performing the Cheonmaje, the sleeping Great Demon God will briefly wake up and welcome you… … .
It was a place I had to go to at some point because there were many things I wanted to ask, including the pure horse that had taken up residence in my body.
“Would those pagans care about such things? Since they say they’ve defeated the Black King, they think they should be given the title of Heavenly Horse so that they won’t be defeated.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“And for the believers, this will be a source of pride and great hope.”
I glanced back at the congregation.
Although their faces still looked tired, there was a smile on their lips.
The image of the believers I met at Mt. Mudang came to mind.
“It will also be a light for the believers who have not yet gathered. We must also meet the Living God… So, please burn even more brilliantly.”
Hwalyeomra was the last of the five great swordsmen who had yet to be met.
Where the hell is he?
Where are you in danger of not being able to speak?
I had a burning desire to gather together like we used to, laugh and chat.
“You have to run harder here. Even two bodies won’t be enough.”
Even though I was grumbling, there was a smile on my lips.
* * *
“Wow… … !”
“This is the new Cheonmagung Palace that I’ve only heard about… …!”
“So beautiful… … !”
After the believers passed through the formation leading to Cheonmagung Palace, they all exclaimed in admiration.
Even I can see that it has changed quite a bit since it came out last time.
It seemed like a lot of maintenance work had been done in the meantime.
and…….
“Those guys… … ?”
“Hahaha! They’re believers!”
“Master! You’re alive!?”
“Son!!”
The believers who gathered from Danggata and Mt. Mudang came running this way.
They were all relatives and neighbors who lived in the same village in Cheonsan. Among them were separated families and lovers who had to be separated unjustly, so in an instant, Cheonmagung became a sea of tears.
I think Master would have liked it if he had seen this.
I heard from the vampire demon that the master is out of town on business.
Where did you go?
It would have been nice if you had left at least a letter.
“Looking at the current situation, it seems like it’s not white hair, but black hair. Those Central Plains guys’ eyes are really crooked.”
“… When on earth did Hwan-soo hear that again?”
“When did you hear that? If you stay still, you can hear everything. You know that it’s blasphemous for someone who hasn’t performed the Cheonma ritual to go around calling themselves Cheonma, right?”
“ha!”
“Be careful. If you keep whining like usual, I’ll throw you in the devil’s prison right away. Hahaha.”
Sasimmayu approached him, smiling brightly. Next to him, Serang was holding onto his collar tightly.
He was still so shy that he couldn’t make eye contact with me properly, but I had a strange feeling.
“Seo-rang, you-”
“Haha, you achieved the Holy Ark. I guess you’ve developed quite an eye for detail.”
Serang blushed and hesitated, as if embarrassed. But she looked up at me from time to time, as if she wanted to show off.
“Inseok, what are you doing? You said you have a lot of things to brag about when the death penalty comes back?”
“Th, that’s… …! I, I can now use illusion magic!”
They said that Sasimmayu would raise him to be a priest well-versed in the doctrines of the Angmasinhwajong, but it seems that he has already mastered the basic doctrine of the old Baehwasyo, illusionism, to some extent.
“Want to show me?”
“yes!”
Although she stuttered a little, Serang recited the spell while forming a clean seal.
With a “Yapp!” sound, another Serang appeared next to Serang.
The overall color was dark, making it easy to distinguish from the others.
“He’s my friend! Say hello! We’re the executioners!”
『Hello! I’m Dongrang, a friend of Seorang! I’ve heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you!』
Did you name your friend Dongrang because you are his lover?
The welcome was quite well implemented, almost like it was real and alive.
Unlike Seorang, she seemed bright and cheerful.
I snickered and asked Dongrang mischievously.
“You heard about me? You weren’t gossiping about me, were you?”
“Oh, no! I-”
『No! Rather, Serang is worried about how she can become close to the wonderful Sa-hyeong, how she can become brave like Sa-hyeong, and how she can help Sa-hyeong-』
“Ugh, ugh! Stop talking nonsense!!”
Seorang tried to stop Dongrang with a red face, but the more she did so, the more excited Dongrang became.
『So, I was going to drag you out, asking what you were doing by just locking yourself in the closet, but you were so timid that you stubbornly refused to do that.』
“Hey! You go back quickly!!”
Seorang thought she couldn’t take it anymore and made another seal to lift the spell. Dongrang didn’t erase his playful smile until the very end.
“Th, th, th, that’s…!”
I stroked the head of Serang, who was trembling and wriggling her feet.
“That’s amazing.”
“A, death penalty?”
“An illusion that’s almost like a clone? I don’t think I could do this when I was your age. You worked hard, didn’t you?”
“Is that so…?”
“If you do a little more here, you might be able to go out with me. So just hang in there a little longer.”
“Yes! I understand!!”
A bright smile appeared on Serang’s face.
It seemed to be in a good mood as the tail attached to its butt kept slapping the ground.
I smiled at that sight too.
I am glad that the believers, the guardians, and the servants are all doing well.
And this gave me more confidence.
As expected, what we wished for was not something so grand as the reign of the Heavenly Demon King or the Heavenly Demon Lord.
Like now. And like today.
Just being able to laugh and talk with family, lovers, and friends.
These were the small, everyday things that others might say were trivial.
Protecting the daily lives of such believers was something I had to continue to do and was a cause.
“Hwansoo, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“I really want to create a demon army. Is that possible?”
