Episode 785. Evil God (5)

Everyone was shocked when Hanbin covered Yomi’s mouth.

You’re even covering the mouths of those who need even a little help!

This was something no one could have imagined.

Seol-hwa, who was standing right next to me, also had her mouth wide open.

However, Seolhwa immediately regained her composure when she saw Hanbin looking at the Buddha statue without changing his gaze.

On the contrary, it was Yomi who was embarrassed.

Her eyes wavered like a candle before a raging typhoon.

In fact, even Yomi couldn’t tell which statue was the real one.

I just thought that if I stepped forward and looked into it myself, I might be able to find the truth.

And yet you cover your own mouth!

Yomi slightly moved her eyes and looked at the other person.

The other person, who was lost in thought with his arms crossed, didn’t even pay attention to him.

Yomi’s lips twitched.

Of course, her lips didn’t open at all.

She screamed inwardly.

The plan to kill the opponent and escape from here has completely gone awry.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have stopped them in the first place.

Actually, I wasn’t that flustered until just a little while ago.

Because her other executioners and master decided to come here.

So it’s true that I had some leeway.

At first, I was curious about who was controlling Eunuch Cho’s mind.

But now I wasn’t curious at all.

No, the person in front of me was someone I shouldn’t have met.

A person like that is a political party?

Yomi sighed without realizing it.

I thought that both the political and social factions were under my axe.

It wasn’t just martial arts that he was confident in.

I thought I was superior to the strong men even in a battle of wits.

But after meeting the man who looked like a scholar in front of me, my mind changed.

The man in front of me was completely unfathomable.

The surprise was fleeting, and Yomi quietly closed her eyes.

Because I thought it was too late to stop the disaster.

Even if the Buddha statue was discovered, there was no way to stop it.

Now, I was in a situation where I had to end my life here, regardless of my will.

Regardless of Yomi’s expression, Hanbin wrinkled his nose.

It was clear that among the many Buddha statues, only one would be different.

Hanbin, who had been concentrating on his sense of smell, tilted his head.

I don’t know how, but it blocked the smell perfectly.

There should have been at least a faint smell of gunpowder, but no smell was detectable.

Then Baekho let out a small voice.

Krung.

I turned my head and saw a white tiger wagging its tail.

The white tiger, wagging its tail, quickly moved between the Buddha statues.

Eunuch Cho also followed Baekho.

He didn’t even glance at his fallen sister, Yomi.

A white tiger that had been running around for a while stopped in front of a Buddha statue.

Krung.

It was as if he was saying that this statue was suspicious.

Hanbin, who was looking at the Buddha statue, snapped his fingers.

Exactly.

At that moment, Sim Mi-ho quickly came running.

“My lord, what should we do?”

“Take a look inside. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

When Hanbin pointed to the Buddha statue, Sim Miho took a deep breath.

Sim Mi-ho did not rush in recklessly.

In fact, Simmiho was not an expert on devices or institutions.

But now he could be called an expert in the field of devices.

If we were to list all the tunnels dug, they would probably extend all the way through the Central Plains.

Dismantling the devices located here and there was a bonus.

Sim Mi-ho glanced at the Buddha statue and then looked at Han Bin.

“I think it would be better to just jump in, my lord.”

“Doesn’t it seem like it’s impossible to dismantle?”

“Did you already know?”

“Roughly… … It looks like it was designed to catch fire immediately if you tear off the piece on the outside. Judging by the heat I can feel from the inside, it looks like it’ll explode in half an hour even if I just leave it alone.”

“But why did you ask me to look into it, my lord?”

“It’s all an experience.”

Hanbin placed his hand on the Buddha statue.

Anyone who saw the Buddha statue that Baekho found was suspicious.

It looked exactly like any other Buddha statue and even smelled the same, but there was one thing that was strange.

It was heat coming from right inside.

The heat was growing stronger and stronger.

In addition, the Buddha statue was designed to catch fire from the inside if it received even the slightest impact.

The mechanism in the statue would probably work even without the shock, but wasting time was suicidal.

What if you carve a Buddha statue without knowing this?

Bulguksa Temple was sure to become a pit of fire.

It was when Hanbin was examining the Buddha statue.

Sim Mi-ho said with narrowed eyes.

“My lord, please give the order to retreat for now… … .”

“Wait a minute. This seems a little strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“It’s too easy.”

“What do you mean, easy, my lord?”

“This isn’t the temple they were trying to destroy. The enemy was trying to destroy the royal family and the martial arts people… … If we evacuate, this Buddhist statue will become useless.”

“But seeing that the evacuation is proceeding smoothly now… … .”

Sim Mi-ho looked at the line leading to the exit, her voice trailing off.

For a moment, Sim Mi-ho tilted her head.

The line leading to the exit showed no sign of slowing down.

Sim Mi-ho quickly tilted his upper body.

“My lord, something is suspicious.”

That was when.

Someone was running from afar.

He was none other than the Heavenly King of the South Sea.

The King of the South Sea pointed behind him with a puzzled expression.

“Prince Peng, the road is blocked right now.”

“The road is blocked, what do you mean?”

“It seems like there’s a formation set up near the exit that we don’t even know about. To be exact, there’s no exit. And… … .”

The King of the South Sea swallowed dry saliva.

According to him, none of the royal family escaped.

Hanbin looked back and forth between the exit and the Buddha statue.

I had to neutralize one of them to survive here.

I had to choose between the higher probability of disabling the formation and the higher probability of disabling the Buddha’s device.

That was when.

A flower flew in from somewhere.

A flower that was blowing in the wind fell at Hanbin’s feet.

Hanbin quietly picked up the flowers.

Then he quietly removed the petals one by one.

“One on this side, one on that side… … .”

Everyone tilted their heads at Hanbin’s incomprehensible monologue.

Hanbin, who had removed all the flower petals, smiled brightly.

Sim Mi-ho whispered in the sudden situation.

“My lord, what are you doing now?”

“I had my fortune told with flower petals.”

“Did you just say dot?”

“Yes, I think the odds are 50/50. I think it would be better to have your fortune told. The last petal says to choose the Buddha statue.”

Hanbin looked at the Buddha statue with a grin.

This was sincere.

Hanbin thinks the odds are 50/50.

In times like these, you need a little luck.

In a way, wasn’t it luck that Hanbin was able to turn back time and live a new life?

This time I decided to trust in luck again.

For a moment, Sim Mi-ho looked around anxiously.

Up until now, all conversations have been unheard by others.

Everyone was looking at Sim Mi-ho with sparkling eyes.

Sim Mi-ho, who had their gazes on her, spoke so that they could hear.

“Our lord tells us to rest assured. Haha.”

After finishing speaking, Sim Mi-ho smiled awkwardly.

Because I couldn’t bring myself to say that the results of the petal fortune telling would determine the fate of everyone here.

But everyone seemed to believe Sim Mi-ho’s words.

Even the King of the South Sea, who had been clenching and unclenching his fists as if he was anxious just a moment ago, returned home as if nothing had happened.

The returning King of the South Sea reassured the royal family and soldiers.

It was a time when everyone was at ease.

Sim Mi-ho’s eyes widened as she stared at the Buddha statue.

“My, my lord. The color of the Buddha statue is a little strange.”

What Sim Mi-ho said was true.

The wood surrounding the Buddha statue began to burn.

Soon the inside of the Buddha statue was revealed.

The Buddha statue was made of iron.

The head of the Buddha statue was glowing red, perhaps because of the energy inside.

Like molten iron just coming from a furnace.

Everyone who saw the transformation of the Buddha statue opened their mouths.

At that moment, Hanbin reached out his hand towards the Buddha’s head.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”

There was only one reason why Hanbin could be so confident.

That’s the consumable clause.

[Consumables: Gold, Wood, Ice, Water]

Hanbin thought of ice among the remaining consumables.

The warmth that Hanbin felt when he touched the Buddha statue was not ordinary.

Inside the Buddha statue, an energy like lava was seething.

Perhaps the opponent had bound up that lava-like energy using some kind of technique.

As time passes and the barrier that bound the lava energy breaks down, it is natural that this statue will explode.

If the Buddha statue explodes, it will affect at least one or two of the Jincheonroe scattered underneath.

Then this place will become a pit of fire.

There is only one way.

After suppressing the energy seething inside, the Buddha statue had to be thrown out of Bulguksa Temple.

Hanbin looked around.

There was only one place where the enemy could not set up their formation.

A thousand-foot cliff located right behind Bulguksa Temple.

Hanbin quickly gathered his energy.

The cold, ice-like energy gathered in Hanbin’s hands covered the Buddha statue.

For a moment, the color of the Buddha statue, which had been red, changed to white.

It was just as Hanbin expected.

It is difficult to quell the energy of lava with water.

It was right to use the energy of ice.

Well, the first step was successful.

Hanbin, who had confirmed the Buddha statue, quickly shouted.

“Everyone, carry the Buddha statue and follow me!”

At that shout, everyone lifted their Buddha statues.

The weight of the Buddha statue felt like ten thousand pounds.

Hanbin, holding the head of the Buddha statue in front, quickly ran towards the back of Bulguksa Temple.

“Follow me!”

“Where are you going?”

“We can’t leave an Asura disguised as a Buddha in the temple. Let’s throw him away.”

“Your name.”

Sim Mi-ho’s eyes sparkled.

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa, who were at the back, also raised their hands.

Eunuch Cho also gritted his teeth and ran.

The most enthusiastic of them all was Eunuch Zhao.

Even his personality changed after he regained his manhood.

Rather than simply following Hanbin, he turned into a fanatic.

Also, there was no fear.

That was when.

Eunuch Cho, who was holding the Buddha statue from behind, tilted his head.

“The ice here is melting, my lord.”

“Everyone, don’t miss it. Just hold on a little longer!”

Hanbin, who shouted urgently, turned his head briefly.

As Eunuch Cho said, the ice energy that covered Hanbin was gradually weakening.

That was when.

There was a faint smell of burning flesh.

Chijijik.

A part of the Buddha statue that Eunuch Zhao and Qinghua were holding turned red.

But no one let go of the hand holding the Buddha statue.

Hanbin checked the knot again.

Now there was no way to stop the energy that was boiling like lava.

That was when.

The color of the Buddha statue, which had been glowing red, suddenly changed.

The surface of the Buddha statue is changing as if covered with ice.

It wasn’t Hanbin’s doing.

This was clearly something that would have been impossible without the martial arts of the North Sea Ice Palace.

Hanbin turned his head to follow the flow.

At the end of the energy there was a story.

Seolhwa quietly closed her eyes.

A cold air that even Hanbin could not have imagined flowed from Seolhwa’s hands.

Hanbin quickly looked ahead.

Because the spirit of the story wasn’t important at the moment.

Ahead, the cliff of Bulguksa Temple, our destination, finally appeared.

“Down there!”

Everyone gathered their strength according to Hanbin’s words.

At the same time, the Buddha statue fell down the cliff.

Whoosh!

***

Same time.

The monsters climbing the cliff, namely Hojo and Yomi’s master, felt a cold air from above.

At first, I thought it was snowing out of season.

But the identity of Han-gi was a block of ice.

The surprise was fleeting, but strangely enough, the cold gradually turned into heat.

As the ice melted, it became a Buddha statue.

Also, the Buddha statue gradually turned red and turned into a ball of fire.

The statue looked like Asura.

The monster shouted without realizing it.

“Evil spirit?”
