644. Nowhere to Return (4)
Seolhwa opened her eyes wide as if she found the story absurd.
At that sight, Hanbin pointed to the incense burner and continued speaking.
“I’ve only seen it in documents, but this is my first time touching it like this.”
“Document? What do you mean?”
“Well, I’ll tell you the details later, so let’s focus on that kid.”
Hanbin snickered and pointed at Choa.
There was a possibility that the object in front of them was actually Namgung Se-ga’s property.
Another name for the Shinsunro, which is part of the Seven Great Records of the Murim, is Muai Hyangro.
This was Hanbin’s guess.
To be exact, we still don’t know if they are the same thing.
But you will find out the truth a little later.
Because Choa will prove it!
Not long ago, Hanbin got a clue about the incense burner from Namgung Jangcheon.
Namgung Se-ga sent a letter after hearing a rumor that Hanbin was looking for the whereabouts of the Seven Great Records of the Martial Arts.
The letter described the shape of the incense burner.
However, the description of the incense burner was similar to the efficacy of the fresh incense burner that Choa had mentioned.
According to Namgung Jangcheon, the effect of the incense burner is a kind of detoxification effect.
Because of the word incense burner, everyone thinks of a tripod shape, but it is said that the incense burner is square in shape.
Thanks to that, Hanbin was able to find the incense burner under the altar that had completely melted.
I found the incense burner, but I didn’t know exactly how to use it.
But Choa told me how to use it.
What if the Shinseonro and Muai incense burner that Choa spoke of were the same thing?
It was like obtaining a weapon that was more powerful than I had expected.
Hanbin smiled brightly and thought back to what happened in the hallway for a moment.
The price to obtain the incense burner was, of course, not cheap.
In order to survive in it, I had to use the revival of the knight and the return of the gold in succession.
After escaping there, I had to face the poisonous insects that were blocking my way.
It was probably to protect the eggs of the Taishan Dragon.
It may be strange that earthworms lay eggs, but it was impossible to judge a living thing by common sense.
In fact, the inner part of the Taesanjiryong that people talk about was an egg.
After a fight with the poisonous insects that were trying to protect their eggs, I ended up getting splashed with yellow liquid.
It was when Hanbin was recalling what had happened a while ago.
Choa’s body began to shake and blood started flowing out of her nose.
Hanbin didn’t miss that moment.
He picked up the square incense burner that he had put down and held it up to Choa’s nose.
Choa’s coffee was sucked into the incense burner.
Hanbin didn’t miss a beat and closed the incense burner again.
It happened in an instant.
Hanbin held the incense burner in his left hand and anointed Cho-ah and Jacheong with his right hand.
Choa woke up with a groan and looked at Hanbin.
“Well, what happened? The pain is gone.”
“Now that the ban has been lifted, the pain will go away.”
“Th, what is that… … .”
“I have the incense burner you were looking for. Now it’s time to keep my promise.”
“Okay, just a moment.”
Choa touched her head as if she didn’t understand.
Apparently, the gold that had been controlling her thoughts had disappeared.
Hanbin continued speaking nonchalantly.
“Is there a problem?”
“How on earth did you do it?”
“This looks like the incense burner you were looking for.”
Choa’s eyes widened as Hanbin opened his palm.
I never thought that the incense burner would look like this.
“Excuse me, are you saying that is a real incense burner?”
“The lifting of the ban should be enough of an explanation!”
“That doesn’t explain it. If you’re going to use an incense burner, you definitely need the Samhwangcho… … .”
“If it’s Samhwangcho, I’ve already prepared it.”
“Now, wait a minute. You were already preparing the Samhwangcho? So you anticipated what would happen today and prepared for it?”
Choa’s eyes wavered.
There was not the slightest hint of fear or distrust.
It was a very primal feeling of awe.
At that moment, someone came up next to Choa.
When I turned my head at the sound, Seolhwa was smiling brightly.
“Even if you ask that, our lord will not answer.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s obvious that our Confucius would say it’s a secret. But I can answer for you. You must have known about it in advance and prepared for it. Our Confucius is called a living Buddha in Hebei. It must have been so that Jang Yun-hyeon’s Wa-bul turned his head to Hebei. And… … .”
Seol-hwa’s lips moved ceaselessly like a goblin flapping its wings.
Even Cheonghwa tilted her head in confusion at the slightly seasoned story.
But Choa’s eyes gradually began to shine brightly.
After Seolhwa’s long speech ended, Choa spoke cautiously.
“We have heard the story of the living Buddha, Baek Kyung-do. However, it was such an absurd story that we dismissed it as a rumor. It is said that not only did they make the Buddha statue sit up, they also made it look somewhere.”
“I heard an exaggerated story.”
Hanbin shook his head nonchalantly.
This was sincere.
The fact that the Buddha statue that had been lying down rose had nothing to do with Hanbin.
However, after saving the people in Jangunhyeon, rumors began to spread and exaggerated stories were created.
In some ways, it was an obvious story, but because it was so exaggerated, few people believed it.
Choa said.
“I have decided as of today.”
“What is your decision?”
“I will leave Baekgyeong and serve a new lord.”
“Why are you leaving there?”
“yes?”
Choa opened her eyes wide.
The answer that came out of Hanbin’s mouth was beyond imagination.
It was a decision that came to mind now, but her intention to leave Baekgyeong was sincere.
Cho-ah thought that Han-bin would naturally accept her sincerity.
But it was rejected outright.
While she was surprised, Hanbin continued speaking.
“You don’t have to leave Baekgyeong. I’ll go there.”
“What, what do you mean?”
Choa’s eyes widened. Today, she kept stuttering.
Of course, she didn’t even realize that she was stuttering.
“I’m interested in the boat that Baek has.”
“Oh, are you serious?”
“Do I look like someone who would lie?”
Hanbin tilted his upper body and pointed to his face with his index finger.
Choa continued speaking with a puzzled expression.
“It is impossible. Even if the lord is a true living Buddha, he cannot stand against all the forces of Baekgyeong.”
“Who wants to fight everyone?”
“If you kill Baek, the rest of the forces will pursue their lord.”
“If you have this, things will be different.”
Hanbin took out a white card from his bosom.
It was a hundred wheels.
Hanbin, who had briefly shown Baekryun, continued speaking.
“They said it was something called Baekryun.”
“Do you have a boat or a wheel? As expected of my lord.”
The word ‘lord’ came out smoothly from Cho-ah’s mouth.
It wasn’t a title that was thought out and spit out. It was just a title that came out instinctively: Lord.
After a brief moment of awe, Choa raised her head.
There was a trace of question in her gaze.
“Do you happen to know the conditions for activating Baekryun?”
“That is also already satisfied. I got the signature from the blood lord.”
“Oh, wait a minute. You just said you got the signature of the bloodthirsty woman? How could you do that to such a devilish woman… … .”
“He just did it obediently.”
Hanbin continued speaking nonchalantly.
But Choa’s eyes shook wildly.
It was no longer an object of mere awe.
Hanbin was not someone who could be evaluated by the simple title of ‘living Buddha’.
Choa said.
“The Blood Prince has discovered the true identity of his lord.”
“Real identity?”
“There is a legend in the North Sea. May I tell you?”
“Hmm, I’m curious too.”
“It is a legend that the Buddha’s incarnation will shine light on the North Sea. With that light, there will be no more hunger and no more sickness.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of this legend, but I don’t think it has anything to do with me.”
“No. In my opinion, my lord is the incarnation of Buddha. I can risk my life. The blood lord also clearly knows that.”
Choa bowed her head.
There is a saying in Gangho that illusion is freedom.
If it was an infinitely positive illusion rather than a negative one, there was no need to stop it.
What the bloodline said could be fundamentally similar.
If Hyeol-hu had recognized Han-bin’s meticulousness and coolness.
Hanbin continued speaking.
“Does this make you a candidate for captain?”
“Yes, that’s right. We will now welcome our new candidate for captain. Of course, we will return to Baekgyeong and wait for you, my lord.”
Cho-ah understood Han-bin’s words well.
He said that he would go back and act as a spy to help Hanbin.
Hanbin smiled contentedly.
“Then please.”
“Yes, before that… … .”
Choa trailed off and pulled out her dagger again.
She offered the dagger to Hanbin with both hands.
Hanbin asked in a sudden situation.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“When a lord changes, a part of the body must be cut off. This is a custom in the North Sea.”
“Hmm, is that custom still around?”
Hanbin tilted his head.
It was true that the custom that Choa had spoken of was a custom from the North Sea.
A custom that disappeared a hundred years ago.
Offering one’s body in front of a new lord was a declaration that one had ended one’s relationship with one’s old lord.
“Baekgyeong is a group that preserves the old.”
“Should I just hang up?”
“Originally, I should choose, but this body is already yours. I don’t think it’s something I should choose arbitrarily. Please cut it off instead. The flesh that falls off will be a bad relationship with Baek Gwa, and the rest of my body is yours.”
After finishing speaking, Choa closed her eyes.
For a moment, her subordinates who were watching from the side swallowed dry saliva.
Although it was called a custom, it was an unwritten rule for the warriors of the North Sea who revered the radish.
A custom that must be followed unconditionally.
I heard that some people cut off one eye, and some people cut off one arm.
As soon as Choa closed her eyes, Hanbin extended his dagger forward.
Whoosh!
After the sound of a crash in the air, Hanbin’s voice followed.
“It’s done now.”
“uh?”
Choa tilted her head in confusion.
Because even though the sound of the crash was ringing in my ears, I didn’t feel any pain.
Choa spread out both of her hands.
Then I touched my face.
There were no wounds anywhere.
After a curious exclamation, Choa continued speaking.
“What did you cut out?”
“Here it is. You go and check it out yourself.”
Hanbin handed the dagger back to her.
Choa, who was handed the dagger, narrowed her eyes.
It was to find out what it meant.
Choa’s eyes widened as she stared at the dagger for a long time.
Because a single strand of hair was fluttering slightly in the wind on the surface of the dagger.
“Could this be… … .”
“That’s right. With that, we can end our relationship with Baekhwa.”
“What the heck is this… … .”
“From now on, we will not acknowledge any loss of combat power.”
“… … .”
When Cho-ah didn’t say anything, Seol-hwa put her face near her ear.
“Just say you know. It’s like a dead man being born with nothing to lose.”
“You’re saying that you’re all in one? What, what does that mean?”
When Cho-ah asked in confusion, Seol-hwa explained quietly.
“Our Confucius, his master, and his parents are all one.”
“Wasn’t that the military department?”
“It’s originally Binsabuilche. Bin is the last syllable of our Confucius’s name.”
