The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 133



Only Noblemtl

Episode 133

Inside the box were a book, a piece of jade tablet, ten envelopes, and a neatly folded letter.

I opened the letter and read it.

The content was short.

[If you eat Hwandan, the poison will disappear.]

It was a welcome relief.

‘It seems that you are not a member of the Blood Cult.’

There’s no way a blood cult member would use a mountain herb and kindly give you a detoxification treatment.

I can’t say for sure that’s not the case though.

Seolhwa took out a piece of paper and handed it to No-un, who was sitting next to Namgung Mucheon.

“Take this. It’s a welcome drink that will detoxify you from poison.”

“… Will it work?”

Although his voice was one of doubt, he was already accepting the welcome.

“This is a detox pill used by the owner of Bidong, so it will be better than any other detox pill. You said that your symptoms appeared after you visited Bidong. Can’t we confirm that the cause is really Bidong’s toxin?”

“I guess so.”

No-un rolled the detox pill on his fingers and carefully put it in his mouth.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly as if he tasted bitter.

“What do you think?”

“Hmm….”

No-un moved his hand around.

He fidgeted with a serious expression as if he was contemplating something, and then at one moment he stood still and froze.

The old man’s eyes shook slightly.

“Why is that? Does it work?”

“… .”

Namgung Mucheon bent his upper body toward Noun as if he was frustrated.

“What do you think? Why do you have that look on your face? Is there something wrong with you?”

“Huh… Huh… .”

“Hey, Jade Sword…!”

“My internal energy….”

No-un looked at Nam-gung-mu-cheon with a blank expression. At the same time, a deep purple aura rose up like a mist all over his body.

“My internal energy is gathering, senior.”

Namgung Mucheon and Seolhwa’s expressions blankly relaxed.

It wasn’t because of the energy rising from the old man.

“Hey, you… the boil…”

The size of the bumps that had covered Noh-un’s entire body began to slowly decrease.

Only then did No-un realize the fact belatedly and rolled up the hem of his clothes to look down at his arms.

The boils all over my body were subsiding to the point where they were visible to the naked eye.

“iced coffee….”

A single tear rolled down from his eye.

“Heh heh, heh heh heh!”

Namgung Mucheon also burst into laughter.

“That’s great, that’s great! That’s really great, Okmaegeom!”

No-un burst into laughter while crying. Tears of emotion and laughter of joy burst out at the same time, and neither of them could be stopped.

Seol-hwa’s eyes widened as she looked at the old man.

‘I laugh and cry at the same time.’

What kind of feeling is that?

For Seol-hwa, who had only just begun to understand joy and sadness, complex emotions were still difficult.

Seol-hwa’s eyebrows curved low as she looked at No-un, who had been crying and laughing for a long time.

* * *

“It’s all gone.”

Namgung Mucheon looked around.

“The entire Bidong was a faction. It’s truly absurd.”

The entire trap that we passed through after entering the entrance of the disagreement was ultimately one formation.

In the place where the raindrops had disappeared, only a wide open field was left.

It wasn’t that the three people had escaped the cave and moved to another place, but that the cave had actually disappeared from the very spot where it had been.

“Hahahaha! Can you see it? Senior! Senior Sword Emperor! I’m performing the Kyungshinjutsu!”

The old man appeared from here and there, from far away, and then from far away again.

With all the boils gone and his strength restored, he was able to use his internal energy to his heart’s content.

After some time, Sulwha’s internal energy also returned.

I didn’t take the detox pill.

It was to check whether the poison was naturally removed without having to take the pill or exorcise the poison on one’s own like Namgung Mucheon.

“grandfather.”

“hmm?”

“You said that even Jang Moon-in felt traces of hypnosis?”

Namgung Mucheon checked his body because he was checking on his condition after Noun regained his internal energy.

And as expected, traces of hypnosis were found even in Noh-un.

“I think the symptoms that appeared to the leader of the Hwasan faction were the result of a combination of hypnosis and poison.”

“I think so too.”

The toxicity of the mountain toxin was added to the flow of history that had been slightly abnormal due to hypnosis, causing physical side effects of unknown cause.

Seolhwa took off the pouch she had kept on her waist.

“I brought the poison.”

Although the motion itself was a truism, it was not all an illusion.

It seems that in order to achieve the effect of the mountain poison, actual poison had to be used.

“This will allow us to check. If someone under hypnosis inhales poison, will they show symptoms similar to those of Jang Moon-in?”

And there is one person who can verify that.

‘Maeyounggeom Yoobyo.’

He too is potentially under hypnosis.

“If the hypnosis-to-poison reaction is true, then maybe we can use it in reverse.”

This creates a way to distinguish between those who are hypnotized and those who are not within the Volcano Sect.

Those who get boils when they spray poison are probably under hypnosis, and those who don’t get boils are probably not under hypnosis.

“The liver of Hwaoru must be among those who are not under hypnosis.”

But locating the liver is another matter.

It was fortunate at first that there was a way to distinguish between those who were hypnotized and those who were not.

Seolhwa also agreed with Namgung Mucheon’s words.

“Once you have selected the disciples who are under hypnosis, you have to separate them so that they don’t harm anyone when the hypnosis is activated.”

“One, we can’t just randomly spray poison. Wouldn’t it be a problem if they found out that we noticed the existence of hypnosis?”

The easiest way to tell them apart is to add san-gong-dok to the disciples’ meals.

However, after Namgung arrives at the volcano, boils begin to appear on the bodies of the disciples he hypnotized?

The Blood Cult’s followers could not help but find that fact strange.

‘And then the hypnosis kicks in.’

Then, in the end, the same tragedy as in the previous life will occur.

“Before that… .”

Seolhwa and Namgung Mucheon looked into the distance at the forest where the trees were swaying.

Why did you try to treat Jang Moon-in before joining the Volcano Sect?

Because we need Noun as an ‘assistant’.

“The most urgent task would be to inform Ok Maegum of the situation of the sect.”

Now that he is free from suffering and is so happy, how dejected he will be when he learns of the crisis in his sect.

If he were an old man, he would surely blame everything on me, saying that I was not qualified to be a long-term leader.

That’s why I want to let you enjoy a little more freedom.

“Shall we go, Grandpa?”

“Okay. Let’s go back.”

The volcano’s time was running out.

* * *

“Meet the long-time friend!”

Liu Biao and Liu Kang bowed to No Yun, taking the lottery tickets.

Both of them reacted with surprise.

Yoo Biao is surprised to see Jang Moon-in, who had been practicing at the closed-door retreat, and Yoo Kang is surprised to see Jang Moon-in’s healthy appearance, completely healed overnight.

“Hehe, it’s nice to see you here. Have you been doing well lately? I’m glad to see that you both look healthy.”

“Jang Moon-in… What is this? How can Jang Moon-in… be with Namgung Se-ga?”

“They saved my life.”

No-un looked back at Seol-hwa with eyes full of gratitude.

If it weren’t for the story, I wouldn’t have been able to solve the secret of the secret, and I wouldn’t have been able to find the antidote.

How could I not be grateful?

“Life… right? By any chance, is it related to the previous text where you tried to obtain the Great Enchantment of Shaolin Temple?”

Liu Biao knew that Hwasan had tried to save the Great Ring, but he did not know what the Great Ring was intended for.

Only the elders knew about Jang Moon-in’s illness.

“I’ll tell you the details later.”

No-un laughed, put his hand on Yu-bi’s shoulder, and looked back at Nam-gung-mu-cheon and Seol-hwa.

After visiting the Manrishintu’s secret garden, Namgung Mucheon led Noun to a wide open space. Then, he instructed Black Dragon Lord to bring Yoo Biao, Yoo Kang, and the head of the Namgung Family’s medicine sect.

I thought maybe he was trying to do something, but looking at the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like that was the case.

Moreover, he called the disciples of the volcano.

“Now, tell me the situation. Do you have something to tell me? Is it perhaps about the text?”

Namgung Mucheon let out a low sigh.

As he nodded while looking at Seolhwa, Seolhwa approached Liu Biao and Liu Kang.

Before I reveal anything about hypnosis, there was something I wanted to confirm.

“You stand back for a moment.”

No-un took a step back.

Seolhwa stood facing the two people.

“I’m going to spray poison on you two from now on.”

Liu Biao’s expression crumpled, and Liu Kang also asked back in surprise.

“Poison…? Poison?”

“Yes. If you drink the poison, you will not be able to use your internal energy for a while. However, since you have the detox pill, you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Why do we have to drink poison?”

Liu Biao asked in an unpleasant voice.

“There’s something I need to check.”

“So, why me and Yoo Kang?”

“You will know it naturally when the poison starts to spread.”

Although Yoo Biao still looked trembling, not only the head of the Namgung family but also the head of the main text was present.

Yoo Biao and Yoo Kang nodded.

“Okay, I’ll sprinkle it. Don’t hold your breath.”

Seolhwa sprinkled white powder on the two people.
