Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 874



Only Noblemtl

874====================

True empty hometown

I was surprised by Seimei’s words and said:

“What are you talking about?! That guy is incredibly dangerous…”

Seimei responded calmly.

“I know. But at the same time, he also has the duty of a guardian to keep the balance of the East from collapsing further. Since he stole the Yueyō from Emperor Godaigo in ancient times and buried it in Ganghwa Island, he has a duty to protect Dongyeong. If Dongyeong collapses and a sea of ​​trees covers the entire archipelago, the evil energy will become dozens of times stronger, and he won’t even be able to think of fighting the Sea God.”

It was true. If the purpose of the Twelve Laws was to hold out for thousands of years and prevent the destruction that would come in the future, then it would never be desirable for the demonic forces to grow stronger before that time and not be able to hold out. And the demonic forces gathered in Dongyeong were the strongest in this area, so they could not just sit back and watch.

“Hmm!”

“He probably doesn’t know about our alliance yet. If he needs power purely as the leader of Dongyeong, I will provide him with appropriate support. And I will negotiate to get the most valuable treasure possible.”

“Are you planning to create a god with the treasure you obtained from the Twelve Laws?”

“Yes. If you become a god, there will be no need for the Queen Mother of the West to summon Miho as her extra life as you planned.”

” ……”

It didn’t seem like a bad plan. Rather than forcing things too hard on this side, it was a strategy to secretly bring out the Twelve Laws’ surplus. When I looked back at Zhuge Liang, he also shrugged his shoulders and didn’t seem to object much. I nodded and spoke to Seimei.

“Please, Seimei.”

Seimei answered with a faint smile on his old face.

“We will secure Miho in advance with the power of our Tsuchimikado clan. Don’t worry, she won’t get hurt. We will also work to preserve her personality.”

“Thank you. Then…”

“Oh, and one more thing.”

” huh?”

Seimei interrupted the conversation and spoke with sharp eyes.

“Bring me the Ohwachilgeumseon from your colleague, Mangryang.”

I was bewildered by the unexpected story.

” … What? I decided not to get involved with Mangryang.”

“That’s a different matter. There must be some secret to the Ohwachilgeumseon, so I’d like to study it with my Yin-Yang technique.”

Certainly, in his previous life, Seimei had said that there was a strange secret hidden in the Five Flower Seven Golden Lines. Although he had not been able to find out what that secret was because that life had passed so quickly, it seemed that Seimei was going to pay attention to that memory and study the Five Flower Seven Golden Lines.

“Uhm. Okay.”

Seimei, the greatest master of Onmyōdō, might be able to figure out the secret.

After agreeing with Seimei’s words, I returned to the Central Plains with Zhuge Liang.

After hearing the request from Seimei, Zhuge Liang said:

“I guess you just have to bring me the Ohwachilgeumseon. You know there’s no need to contact Mangryang, right?”

“Okay. I’ll just bring the Ohwachilgeumseon.”

Pabat

I went to Jinranggok where Mangryang was staying and sneaked into Mangryang’s hut. Mangryang seemed to be absent at the moment, and there were still traces of his life. I waited quietly in ambush, and Mangryang returned home half a day later. When he returned, he lit a candle and began reading a book. I thought that Mangryang had the Five-Hwa-Chil-Geum-Seon in his arms, so I ran straight to him and touched Mangryang’s acupuncture point.

“Ugh, who…”

Slap

Mangryang was instantly subdued and fell, and I found the Ohwachilgeumseon in his arms and held it in my hand. I looked at the unconscious Mangryang with bitter eyes and muttered.

“I’m sorry. Let me repay you with this…”

I left five gold bars and several black and white lotus flowers at his bedside. If it weren’t for me, these alone would be a great help to Wangryang’s life. But when I was stroking the boiling water with the Ohwachilgeumseon and trying to activate it,

Ssssssss

Suddenly, five streams of flame shot out from the Ohwachilgeumseon and instantly surrounded my upper body like snakes!

“……?!”

Phewaaaah!!

“Eeeeek!!”

When the flames of the Five-Flowered Seven-Golden Sword began to burn me, I was startled, but the power of the yin jin and Amaterasu inside me reacted and neutralized the flames of the Five-Flowered Seven-Golden Sword. I had reached a state where I could neutralize the flames of magic even while standing still. I quickly tried to let go of the Five-Flowered Seven-Golden Sword, but it would not leave my hand as if it had been glued to it.

‘It’s… exhausting.’

Not only that, the pain from the flames became more intense, and I even felt like the divine power inside me was being eaten away! I felt like the power of the yin yang and the power of Amaterasu were continuously being worn away, like the end of a rope being burned by embers. It seemed like this flame had the power to burn away even divine power!

Suaat

“Ugh!!”

At the same time, my heart pounded as I felt a sharp cat eye staring at me. A pair of eyes covered my entire body.

Those… those… those eyes!

I felt an indescribable, overwhelming presence that was far beyond my life, and I fell to my knees in shock. The flames of the Ohwachilgeumseon had already died down, but I had a hard time coming to my senses as I stared straight at the ingenious plan.

He’s looking at me.

That gaze was very brief, but I felt like it was shaking my mind. And when the gaze disappeared, I quickly threw the Ohwachilgeumseon on the ground, and only then did I return to normal. I gritted my teeth, my palms wet.

“Mangryangseonsa…!!”

Could it be that Master Mangryang was planning to personally retrieve his disciple’s belongings if they were stolen?!

I wondered if this was the secret hidden in the Ohwachilgeumseon, but I couldn’t be sure yet. And I thought that since the Mangryangseonsa had seen me, the probability that he would be interested in me from now on had also increased.

‘Ugh, I did that for nothing!’

I felt like I was causing trouble for no reason, but I couldn’t back down here, so I gritted my teeth and went over to Mangryang, who was sleeping, and woke him up.

“Uh, uhm… who are you!”

“Mangryang! My name is Baekwoong. As you can see, I have left the rental fee here to borrow your Ohwachilgeumseon.”

Mangryang, who was bewildered, glanced at the gold bars and the black and white lotus and then shouted.

“Don’t make me laugh! Hand it over right now. It’s a gift from the Master, so I can never give it up.”

“Ugh… Good. Is it okay if I borrow it if I get permission directly from Master Mangryang?”

“If you can, try it. In that case, I’ll lend you some… But how do you know the Master?”

Dubthuk

I didn’t answer Mangryang’s words and immediately grabbed the Ohwachilgeumseon again. Just like before, the fierce flames covered my body, but I didn’t care and stared straight into the ingenious plan beyond time and space. And I shouted to Mangryang Seonsa with determination.

[Mangryangseonsa! I don’t have time. I have to reveal all the secrets as soon as possible. So, please allow me to borrow this!]

After a moment of silence, Monk Mangryang’s answer was heard.

[Okay. But there is a condition.]

[I’ll do anything.]

Things had gotten to this point, so what could be impossible? It was also true that Monk Mangryang was one of my few allies, so I made up my mind.

And the conditions of the Mangryangseonsa that followed were unexpected.

[Let the wandering spirit accompany you.]

[……?! No! If you use obsidian, the net will be contaminated…]

When I tried to explain my difficulties, Master Mangryang responded as if he knew what was going on.

[I will stop you. Even if you accept your obsidian, Mangryang will not become corrupted.]

Hmm.

I felt relieved because I thought that if it was the Mangryangseonsa, he could have stopped me. As for me, it would be something I would not mind if Mangryang could become my comrade. However, I became more cautious and opened my mouth.

[I heard that we should no longer increase the number of people who know about their past lives.]

[There is no need to worry about what the wizard is worried about, since I have already read the law of causality. Mangryang will be the exception.]

It seemed that he had also been watching my conversation with Jegalsa. It seemed that Mangryangseonsa was pretending not to do anything while still understanding everything.

Even so, I opened my eyes wide because it was the first time I had seen Master Mangryang push this far.

[ … Why do you want to let such a fool join your journey?]

In most cases, wasn’t it consistent indifference or an attempt to protect Wangryang or Cheonwoojin from my causality? There were many times when they distanced themselves from me, but there were almost no cases where they included their disciples, so I felt puzzled.

[ ……]

There was no answer. Instead, the flames of the Ohwachilgeumseon stopped.

I quickly returned the Ohwachilgeumseon to its original owner, Mangryang. Mangryang accepted the Ohwachilgeumseon and spoke with blank eyes.

“What the heck… is going on! What happened?”

I replied with a bitter feeling.

“Mangryang. I don’t know what’s going on either. But my name is Baekwoong, and as promised by Master Mangryang, I will deliver the obsidian to you.”

“What.”

I placed the obsidian on Mangryang’s hand and used the obsidian’s magic to transmit the memories. It was a reckless action that I would never have done, but since Mangryang Seonsa had guaranteed it, I decided to do it anyway. In this world, there was nothing more trustworthy than Mangryang Seonsa’s guarantee.

Paat

Mangryang stumbled for a moment after remembering. Then he grabbed his head and thought deeply, and then suddenly burst into tears.

“… Baek Woong, even the outermost one is surrounded. How did it end up like this…”

… Ugh.

Hearing it directly from Mangryang’s mouth, I realized how dangerous the current situation was. I felt gloomy, but I didn’t show it and asked Mangryang.

“Mangryang. Did you regain your memories?”

“Whew… I’m glad your uncle was by your side. I was so lucky…”

Mangryang, who had been muttering as if he was muttering, gathered his strength and spoke.

“Baek Woong. I don’t know the situation yet, but I will accompany you and protect you from danger.”

” … Thank you!”

I didn’t really know what was going on, but I smiled brightly.

Mangryang, who will become the support of my heart, has joined the group!

I brought Mangryang to Jangnyeonggok. And when Mangryang and Jegalsa met face to face, Jegalsa looked surprised for a moment and then said.

“Did the Mangryangseonsa interfere?”

Did you notice right away without me saying a word?

He really has a brain and a keen eye. When I inwardly stuck out my tongue at the fact that he noticed it all at once, Mangryang said to Jegalsa.

“Yes.”

“Why is that?”

Mangryang responded coldly to Zhuge Liang’s strange question.

“Master wants to use me as a pawn on a chess board.”

“I see. That’s a very objective view.”

Zhuge Liang, who had been mumbling like that, looked at Mangryang with a look of newness.

“You’ve grown up.”

It seemed that Jegalsa felt that the clumsy and righteous spirit that existed in Mangryang had changed somewhat. I could agree with that statement because I also felt that way about Mangryang.

“You have decided to form an alliance with your father, so how exactly do you plan to attack Heaven?”

“As you know, I offer the seven yolks to Bango.”

Mangryang thought carefully and then said.

” … I think I have something to do before that.”

” what?”

The ensuing plan of the mangryang made me doubt my ears.

“We must capture Jinsocheong immediately. And we must seal him or make sure he cannot come out into the world.”
