Chapter 227
##227fury. A chance that won't come again
The moment the flame touched the frozen Yin-Yang Mazon's skin, the final message he had hidden appeared..
open my stomach.
Inside, a plan to destroy the Namgung family was hidden..
“what?”
Baeksu- ryong hurriedly waved his hand and turned off the fire on the altar. And I took a step closer to the body to take a closer look at the message..
“It's an arrangement that will destroy the Namgung family.?”
At that moment, a thought crossed my mind..
White Water Dragon muttered as he looked around the frozen white cavity..
“……Did he freeze the entire place to hide the secret in his stomach?.”
No matter how you look at it, the strange cold inside was artificial..
The cause is probably Yin Yang Mazon.
During his lifetime, he trained both extreme yang and extreme yin martial arts at the same time, and it seemed as if he had turned this place into an ice cave by squeezing the Jinyuanjin Qi just before he expired..
To hide within his body the plan to destroy the Namgung family..
Also, to show the scene of the slaughter committed by the Changcheon Sword King to the descendants of the blood religion who may come in the future..
White Water Dragon thought as he looked at the Yin-Yang Mazon, who could not close his eyes even after death..
‘The resentment in your heart is cruel and terrible..’
However, in the end, the person who collected the Yin-Yang Mazon's message was not a descendant of the Blood Cult but a White Water Dragon, so it was fate and destiny that were truly unknown..
“I may not be the person Elder Oh was waiting for, but I will take care of the arrangements you made..”
The White Water Dragon cut open the Yin-Yang Mazon's stomach without hesitation..
Well done-
When I cut the bulging stomach in half, a long wooden box about the length of my palm came into view..
“It must not have been easy to swallow…….”
Perhaps this is the ‘arrangement to destroy the Nangung family’ that Yin Yang Mazon spoke of..
Baek Soo-ryong carefully took out the wooden box, opened the cover, and checked the contents..
“……pipe?”
A small flute that seemed to be made of ivory was wrapped beautifully in silk..
It was only a little longer than the palm of one's hand, and from the mouth of the mouth through which breath was blown, it was engraved with the words 'Magic Spirit's Soul.'.
“A flute that summons the devil's soul.…….”
The meaning was unusual.
Baeksu-ryong observed the demon spirit spirit enemy closely..
Seeing the eerie ghost energy flowing into my body just by holding it, I was certain that it was not an ordinary ghost object..
“This is an arrangement that will destroy the Namgung family.?”
It was clearly written that way in the final message left by the Yin-Yang Mazon..
And there was a similar passage in the message I read before. Baek Soo-ryong checked that part once again..
But he doesn't know.
I know that I didn't just sit there and suffer for thirty years..
The seeds of destruction were planted in the future of the Namgung family..
I don't know when it will germinate…….
The seeds of destruction planted thirty years ago.
There was a very high probability that the magic soul spirit enemy was related to it..
‘If you blow the flute, you'll know for sure.…….’
I didn't know what would happen if I used it carelessly..
Baek Su-ryong put the Demon Spirit Soul Jeok back into the wooden box and took it in his arms..
Since I don't know what it's for right now, I thought I'd go back and take a slow look..
The White Water Dragon turned his head and looked at the Yin-Yang Mazon again..
“I'm not sure if I'll ever use this. I'll think about it..”
I was planning to perform the ancestral rites. The White Water Dragon rekindled the fire on the altar..
Grumbling!
The fire from the firewood slowly spread to the body..
Because it had been frozen for a long time, it seemed like it would take some time for the body to burn completely..
White Water Dragon said while closing Yin-Yang Mazon's wide eyes..
“Please be born in a good place in your next life..”
The Yin-Yang Mazon is a man who would have become a charlatan if he had been born in a righteous faction..
Along with the Blood Dragon Lord, he was one of the few warriors that the Hundred Water Dragons of his previous life respected..
Grumbling!
Flames and smoke rose and engulfed the Yin-Yang Mazon..
“I'll just go now.”
White Water Dragon turned around after praying for the soul of the Yin-Yang Mazon, who passed away a long time ago..
Looking from above the altar, I could see at a glance the miserable corpses of the believers lying in the cave..
For a moment, I thought about gathering them and cremating them, but Baek Soo-ryong quickly shook his head..
The reason I cremated the Yin Yang Mazon according to the funeral customs of the blood religion was because I had a small relationship with him in the past..
‘It is too foolish to even collect their bodies. If someone has to do it, it's not me.…….’
It was when Baek Soo-ryong, lost in thought, came down from the altar, fiddling with the wooden box in his arms..
Kiyaaaaa-!
With a strange roar echoing throughout the cave, something fell from the ceiling and struck the white water dragon..
Kwaang!
Broken ice cubes rose like dust from the floor..
But Baek Soo-ryong was no longer there..
I had already felt the presence of the other person long before he fell from the ceiling..
But now even Baek Su-ryong knows its identity..
“Holding the human face)?”
It was a gray spider about the size of a calf, and its head resembled a hideously distorted human face..
Now that I think about it, I remembered hearing a story about the Yin-Yang Mazon raising a human face as a pet..
“I heard it's the size of a dog... … . You've grown so much.”
Kiyaaaaa!
The human face owner let out a scream and rushed towards Baeksu-ryong..
It was probably hiding somewhere in a cave, but when the white water dragon burned its owner's body, it couldn't hold back and jumped out..
The sight of a calf-sized spider running towards me on eight legs was terrifying in itself. Moreover, the speed was as fast as that of a peak expert..
But it was no threat to the white water dragon..
whirring!
Baek Su-ryong, who easily dodged the human face supporter's attack, looked at the human face supporter as if examining a strange animal..
Although all spiritual creatures are special, I felt a unique energy from this person..
“Was the person holding the face originally a spirit creature with cold energy??”
Like a spirit creature from the North Sea with ice crystals, the human face was radiating cold air from its body..
Every time he put his pointed leg on the floor, the place would freeze..
It seemed like the reason the ice cave maintained its temperature was because of that guy..
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong thought of a plausible hypothesis..
“There is no way he learned ice ball from Yin Yang Mazon... … . Are you carrying something in your stomach too??”
Kiyaaaaa!
Instead of answering, the human being made a strange noise and rushed towards him. Poisonous liquid dripped from the wide open mouth..
Even the white water dragon did not avoid it this time..
I just had to check for myself to see what was in the stomach..
His sword was drawn out like a thunderbolt..
Sigh.!
In one fell swoop, the head of Inmyeonjiju was cut off..
Even if it was a spirit creature that had lived for over several decades, it was too much for it to deal with a master who had reached the pinnacle of excellence..
Baeksu-ryong approached the helpless human being and cut open his stomach without hesitation..
As expected, there was something cold inside..
“bracelet?”
A thin bracelet that seemed to have been carved from transparent crystal was emitting a cold energy of its own..
“Could this be…….”
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong realized what this bracelet was and let out an exclamation..
“Ice white pill)!”
The sacred object of Eun Ye-rin, the Ice Moon Goddess who was one of the four masters in her past life..
It was originally a treasure of the North Sea Ice Palace, and it was an item of unrivaled skill for a warrior who had mastered the art of ice..
“her! Bing Baek-hwan was in a place like this?…….”
A bright smile appeared on Baek Soo-ryong’s face..
I remembered the story that Bingwol Goddess told me about Bingbaekhwan in my past life..
- If you wear an ice ring when practicing ice ball, the achievement will be more than twice as fast. That alone is a treasure of the ages, but the true value of the Bing Baek Hwan is revealed when the Bing Ball is unleashed..
The Ice Moon Goddess explained as she spread her chained hands in front of the White Water Dragon so that he could see them..
-Let's say you're wearing a Bingbaekhwan in your left hand, but you're not wearing it in your right hand.…….
Damn it!
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such…….
While my left hand instantly turned white and cold, it took quite some time for the cold to form on my right hand..
Originally, the four masters who were imprisoned in prison were not able to use internal energy due to the Great Law of the Blood Cult, but at the time, Baeksu-ryong weakened the Great Law on the grounds that he needed to see their martial arts demonstration in person..
-The difference between wearing the Bingbaekhwan and not wearing it is roughly this much. The lower the achievement of Ice Ball, the bigger the gap is. If a second-class expert wears it, he or she can spread cold at a similar speed to a first-class expert..
Baek Su-ryong, who heard the explanation at the time, was astonished..
- What a great piece. If you're a swordsman, that doesn't mean you can use your sword skills or sword skills several times faster than others.?
-But at my level, there is almost no difference whether I wear it or not..
- That's because Master Eun is too strong. For warriors who have mastered the art of ice, it would be more of a treasure than a new recruit. So where is Bingbaekhwan now??
-I don't know. It was taken away as soon as I was caught by the blood cult..
-this…….
After that, I did not know the whereabouts of Bingbaekhwan until I escaped from the blood religion, but now I see that it appears that one of the elders, the Yin-Yang Mazon, who had learned the martial arts of extreme yin, had it..
“I never thought it would be in a place like this.”
Baeksu-ryong chuckled as he looked at Bingbaekhwan, who was the sacred object of the Bingwol Goddess..
It wasn't just because I was happy to get the treasure, but because it reminded me of the memories I had with her related to Bingbaekhwan..
Bingbaekhwan originally consisted of a pair of two bracelets, one of which was held by Bingwol Shinnyeo but was taken away by a blood cult..
So Baek Soo-ryong asked where the other one was, and the answer he got was something he could not have imagined..
-……One was given to Jeongin as a token..
The moment the Ice Moon Goddess said those words, the three men locked in the prison looked at her at the same time..
-Was there a Jeongin??
-There was a guy who matched that fierce temper.?
-Did you get married??
These were the words spoken by Gwangma, Nokrimtuwang, and Geomzon in turn..
Eun Ye-rin kept her mouth shut, perhaps embarrassed by the sudden outpouring of attention from those around her..
Then King Nokrimtu, who thought he had caught the gun, chuckled..
At that time, he arbitrarily shortened Bingwol Shinnyeo's nickname to 'Bingsin'..
- That guy must have been a great expert if he caught our eye. Is this someone we know? huh? Tell me. Even if you're one of the guys I used to crush, I'll pretend not to notice..
In response to King Green Forest's provocation, Bingshin, or rather Bingwolshinnyeo, raised her eyes sharply and said,.
-Shut up. My lover was not an ignorant martial artist like you..
-huh? It wasn't unmanned? really?
-Priestess. This is the biggest surprise I've had since I met you..
-So did you get married??
Everyone was surprised to hear that Bingwol Shinnyeo's lover was not a martial artist..
There was nothing else to do in prison other than learning and teaching martial arts..
The three masters persistently interrogated Bingwol Shinnyeo, and in the end, Bingwol Shinnyeo gave up and told about her lover..
-He was an ordinary person. No, on the contrary, he was rather weak for a man. Reading books all day... … He was that kind of man.
Once we started talking, it started pouring out like a torrent..
- I first met him at the bookstore where he worked. It was a day when I went out wearing cotton yarn and black lipstick because of the annoying flies, and a frail-looking man came up to me and shined a lantern for me. They say that if you read a book in the dark, your eyesight will deteriorate like yours..
She was a Ice Moon Goddess whose expression was usually as cold as ice, but when she talked about Jeongin, her expression was as bright as a spring flower in full bloom..
-…… Before I knew it, I had come to like it. My arms had no muscles, my speech was slurred and humble, and I read so many books that without my glasses, I couldn't even tell my face from three pages away. He had such a strong sense of pride that he even stepped forward to protect me in front of the bullies. I came to like them all.
Everyone listened with happy expressions as they heard the story of the Ice Moon Goddess for the first time..
King Green Forest said with a chuckle..
-Our Bingshin was a woman who knew how to embrace love. This brother is in a good mood.!
-shut up. who is my brother?
-We've been together for over ten years, and he's like a brother. Isn't that so, Gwangma's brother??
-crazy guy.
-Kangho's official crazy guy is you.
The four of them spent a very long time together in prison..
It was enough time to get to know each other and develop affectionate feelings..
-So did you get married??
-……Why do you keep asking me that from earlier??
Geomjon persistently asked if the wedding had been held, and Bingwol Shinnyeo answered that she had not done so yet..
Then Geomzon smiled softly and said.
-If we escape from here, we will get married first. I will attend with my son..
-This brother cannot be left out either.!
-I also attend.
From then on, the three men mischievously teased Bingwol Goddess until she got out of school, wondering how many children she would have, whether an incompetent student would be able to function as a man properly, and what was good for her stamina..
That day, your master seemed to forget the pain of reality for a moment while imagining the future after escaping from the religious cult..
“……It was like that.”
Baek Soo-ryong escaped from the bitter memories of his past life..
He stared at the bingbaek pill placed in his palm..
“Master Eun. For now, I found one. When I get a chance, I'll find out where the rest are..”
Baeksu-ryong, who had promised to the Bingwol Goddess, put the Bingbaekhwan on his left wrist..
Since I have to swing the sword with my right hand, I thought I would wear it with my left hand and use the ice ball to perform long or ground techniques when fighting..
Sigh..
The moment I put the Bingbaekhwan on my wrist, the Bingbaekhwan moved on its own and wrapped perfectly around the water dragon's wrist..
But at that moment, something unexpected happened to Baek Soo-ryong..
“hmm?”
The energy of the ice crystal received from the Nine-Eum Witch of the Wicked Valley began to resonate strongly with the energy of the Ice Baekhwan..
So bad so bad……!
Pure white frost formed on the white water dragon’s skin..
The floor froze around where he was standing and began to spread out in all directions. My whole body was shaking with chills..
“Big!”
Baek Soo-ryong immediately sat cross-legged on the floor..
He knew instinctively.
If you don't calm down the energy of the raging ice crystals, you could end up turning into an ice statue like this..
But on the other hand, if I could calm this energy down?
You will be able to immediately improve your ice skills, which you have not been able to properly practice due to lack of time..
‘This is an opportunity that will never come again..’
Baek Soo-ryong closed his eyes and concentrated on his fortune..
