Chapter 251
##251fury. Medicine to the pharmacist and acid to the bandit
Grumble~ Piyuuu-
Grumble~ Piyuuu-
“Sleeping well in a bandit's den.”
Ya Soo-hyuk clicked his tongue as he looked at his seniors and classmates who were so deeply asleep that they didn't even know who was carrying them..
It looks like everyone was tired from running around in the mountains all day..
However, Ya Su-hyeok, for whom the mountains were his hometown, did not feel particularly tired..
That was the reason why he decided to voluntarily stand watch..
‘I can't sleep anyway.’
As I quietly came out of the accommodation, I saw torches lit up all over the mountain lodge..
To prepare for an attack by Dokgaksa Temple, torches were lit around the fence surrounding the living quarters..
The bandits who were on guard were so excited when they saw Ya Su-hyeok that they immediately reported it without even asking..
“Nothing wrong with working!”
Ya Su-hyuk just nodded his head slightly and climbed to the highest watchtower to look down..
“…….”
Perhaps because it’s been a while since I met people in the same industry, I naturally thought of my brothers back home..
-older brother. It looks like the Great Tiger attacked this place. It's a woodcutter's house I know.…….
-uh? There's a kid over there?
It was a group of bulky men who found Ya Su-hyeok shivering in a corner of the house after losing his father due to insanity..
Men with a fierce look, carrying axes and large knives slung over their shoulders..
-The young guy... … I'm mesmerized.
Ya Su-hyuk, who was a child at the time, did not feel fear when he saw them..
Because the image of the tiger eating my father right in front of me kept repeating itself..
The boy's clothes were covered in his father's blood..
-Tsk tsk. Poor thing.
-That bastard that will kill you. How many people are there already??
-What should he do? If I leave it behind, the beasts will come down.…….
At that time, a man who was smaller and thinner than the other men stepped forward. I felt like there was a scholar among the bandits..
-let me take a look.
At the words of the man who was smaller than the others, the rugged bandits stepped to the side..
The man bent down to be at eye level with the young Ya Su-hyeok and wiped the blood from the boy's face with his hand..
-Do you have any relatives or acquaintances in the village below the mountain? I'll take you there if you have it.
-…….
-Isn't there any? If you have nowhere to go, will you follow us? At least I won't starve to death..
-…….
- If you go down to the village alone, you will end up begging. And if you're unlucky, you'll be beaten to death by local beggars. Since his muscles look good, there is a possibility that he will be admitted... … You also have to be lucky.
-……
-Huh. Am I so shocked that I can't speak?…….
The man thought for a moment and asked, thinking it would be the last time..
-Do you want revenge on Daeho??
That one word awakened the spirit of young Ya Su-hyuk. The boy answered with a cracked voice..
-……I want revenge.
-Huh. This little guy is a man. Then follow me.
I didn't know until then.
I found out that the place I was going to follow the man was a very famous place among the 72 green forests..
The man stretched out his hand and grabbed the hand of young Ya Su-hyuk..
-From now on, you have to call me big brother..
-……yes. Big brother.
After a lot of time had passed and Ya Su-hyuk had taken revenge on Dae-ho, the eldest brother called Ya Su-hyuk and said:.
- Enter the Blue Dragon Academy. I have prepared all the necessary documents, so all you have to do is go and take the entrance exam..
-yes? What are you talking about all of a sudden??
My eldest brother was a man who learned an incredible amount about being a bandit..
I heard that he actually passed the civil service examination and even took the civil service examination, but no one knew why he gave up his civil service career and devoted himself to the green forest..
Anyway, the eldest brother sat Ya Soo-hyuk down and spoke seriously..
- In the future, we can survive by learning about green forests as well. Go to the Blue Dragon Academy and learn the martial arts of the political faction, learn their thoughts, and learn the system they have built. It will be of great help to us in running the green forest in the future..
-……Can I refuse??
Ya Su-hyuk tried to walk away from the headache-inducing story, but the older brother smiled kindly and placed his hand on his shoulder..
-Of course, it is not coercion. I brought a sniveling dog, fed it, let it sleep, and made it into a human being. What would an animal that knows grace be able to do such a thing? I am not forcing it..
-……I will do it. Isn't it okay to do it?.
In the end, Ya Su-hyuk could not refuse his eldest brother's request(?) and went to take the entrance exam at Cheongryong Academy..
When the other brothers found out about it, they fell to their knees..
-Puhahaha! This guy is entering the faction’s martial arts academy.?
-I'll bet everything I own that I'll be back from school within 15 days.!
-Full moon? Five days is enough!
On the day I left the mountain lodge, brothers came to me and patted my back and patted my head..
Ya Su-hyuk pushed them away as if they were annoying..
-I have to go now, so take it in moderation.!
-This guy. Don't fight with political faction members..
-You shouldn't start swinging your fists when you lose your temper..
-If possible, don't talk to other guys. If I talk to you just a little bit, the bandits are all clear..
In the greetings from the older brothers who didn't know whether they were worried or teasing, the older brother, who came out wearing a green jacket, said to the brothers..
-Everyone stop it. I have to let the youngest go..
In the martial arts world, they called him a monk wearing green clothes..
It was a nickname given to him because he always wore green robes neatly like a scholar..
-I'm the youngest.
-yes. Big brother.
-Suhyuk.
-……yes. Big brother.
The green robed detective grinned at Ya Soo-hyuk's blunt answer..
- How long are you going to call me big brother? It was a few years ago that I asked him to call me father. Was it that difficult??
-No, that's... … . It doesn't stick in my mouth…….
Ya Su-hyuk scratched his head sheepishly..
As if he knew how I felt, the green robed monk chuckled..
The brothers of the green forest surrounding them laughed..
The green-robed monk came and hugged Ya Su-hyeok, who was already much bigger than himself..
-Don't listen to that after you go. Have a nice trip.
-……yes.
After a short flashback, Ya Su-hyuk returned to reality..
It was because of the presence of a wild beast felt behind my back..
whirring!
The furball's plan to jump onto Ya Su-hyeok's wide back failed..
Kyaaa!
Ya Su-hyuk sighed as he looked at the ball of fur shaking in his hand..
“This little thing doesn't get tired and it blinks brightly..”
It was a time when Ya Su-hyuk was wondering where he should be locked up..
“Hmm. Are you not sleeping??”
I thought a bear had climbed onto the watchtower, but it was just a huge bear-like beast..
“What are you doing when you’re not sleeping??”
“I woke up because I needed to pee. Since I couldn't see you, I was curious about something and came out. huh?”
Geo Sang-woong chuckled at the ball of hair held in Ya Su-hyeok’s hand..
“It seems like he really likes you..”
“It's so annoying I'm dying.”
As Ya Su-hyuk glared at the hairball with irritated eyes, Geo Sang-woong, who recalled the story of his father dying from a tiger bite, asked cautiously:.
“……I don't mean to kill you?”
“I won't kill you.”
Ya Soo-hyuk threw a ball of fur at Geo Sang-woong. Geo Sang-woong carefully received the boy and held him in his arms..
“I heard that his mother saved the Green Forest Islanders. You can't carelessly kill the benefactor of the green forest..”
“You don't even hide it anymore.”
“…….”
Ya Su-hyuk turned his head and looked down at the watchtower..
I saw a burial mound where dead bodies were buried at Dokgaksa Temple..
I was used to seeing corpses from a young age..
This is because the Green Foresters are originally people who sacrifice their lives to live..
In the mountains, they are exposed to all kinds of bugs, wild animals, and diseases, and often have to fight with the martial arts people..
So I wasn't very impressed by their deaths..
but…….
“A guy called Dokgaksa. I will definitely catch it. Green Forest is clearly a silver lining..”
Ya Su-hyuk's eyes were shining coolly..
He may not like it when he hears this, but Geo Sang-woong thought that his junior's temperament resembled that of a tiger..
Maybe that's why that little ball of fur follows Ya Su-hyuk around..
Geo Sang-woong, who grinned, yawned and said..
“Hmm. I won't go down again. You grow up too.”
“Come on in.”
After Geo Sang-woong went down, Ya Soo-hyuk lay down and looked up at the sky..
Kyaaa!
As if he had already returned, the furball jumped up and stood on Ya Su-hyuk's stomach. Then I rolled my body into a circle..
“……It's really annoying.”
I thought about throwing it out of the watchtower, but.
Ya Su-hyuk got annoyed and just closed his eyes..
I felt a constant stirring on my stomach..
* * *
Baeksu- ryong returned alive only after a day. He spoke to his disciples who came out to meet him with a somewhat tired expression..
“I couldn't find it. It seems to be very hidden..”
I searched the area around the mountain chae, but was unable to find out where Eunho and Dokgaksa had gone..
‘Maybe I hid in an unexpected place, or maybe I used some magic to hide myself.…….’
I felt like there would be no gain if I continued to search on my own, so I returned alive for now..
Baek Soo-ryong looked around at the disciples gathered in one place and said,.
“Everyone heard about the situation from Suhyuk.?”
The disciples nodded with serious expressions..
“okay. however…….”
Contrary to their serious expressions, the disciples' demeanor was anything but. Baek Soo-ryong asked with an expression of bewilderment..
“Did everyone decide to become bandits in one day??”
This was said because all of the disciples were wearing clothes roughly made from animal skins..
It is said that clothes make a man, and the disciples who wore borrowed clothes seemed to have no discomfort even if they went out for business right now..
In particular, the trio of Heon Won-gang, Geo Sang-woong, and Ya Su-hyuk... … let's not talk.
“yes? The teacher was chased by a tiger without any skills.?”
“Still, I kept the lower part from tearing. To protect the ultimate human dignity…….”
“senior. Even now, I don't look particularly human..”
“This is my original clothes?”
These were the words of Heon Won-gang, Geo Sang-woong, Yeo-min, and Ya Su-hyeok, one by one. The only thing that was intact was Wijicheon’s clothes..
The elixir that Baeksu-ryong secretly applied to the armpits of his disciples was so effective that the disciples were constantly attacked by beasts even while visiting the living quarters..
I was going to fight against wild beasts without any strength, so there was no way I had any clothes left. This was the reason why everyone had to throw away the clothes they were wearing and change into the clothes left by the bandits as soon as they arrived at the mountain lodge..
Kaaak - Twah!
Heonwon River spat thick phlegm on the floor and crossed his legs mischievously. I would have believed it if I had been in this industry for ten years. And then he played a prank on Wi Ji-cheon next to him..
“Hehe. Hey kid. If you give me everything you have, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, your pretty face will be scarred.…….”
Taaak!
Baek Su-ryong, who created a large hump on Heonwon River's forehead, looked around and said..
“by the way. Where is baby Eunho??”
They say that even tigers will come when told to do so, and Eun-ho came running from inside the mountain lodge..
Kyaaa!
A ball of fur jumped up in front of the White Water Dragon and stood on his shoulder. Then he raised his short neck. He looked triumphant, like the king of beasts who had conquered the mountain..
However, after a while, the fur ball was grabbed by the back by the white water dragon and was forced to come down. I tried to dodge to the back like I did with Ya Su-hyeok, but it was no help..
Kiing…….
Baek Su-ryong held the now calm furball in his arms and scratched its head with his hand. It felt pretty good because it was so soft..
“hmm? Who applied the salve? Ya Soo-hyuk. did you do it?”
“I'm crazy?”
Ya Soo-hyuk strongly denied it, saying absolutely not. But Baek Soo-ryong did not miss the traces of salve on his clothes..
“Surprisingly, you are calm in front of the teacher..”
“This guy recognizes me too. If you touch this person carelessly, something very bad will happen..”
“A spirit is a spirit.…….”
Disciples came and looked at the furball who had become calm. Baek Su-ryong sighed softly..
“It's great to be able to concentrate like this during class..”
The white water dragon held a ball of fur with one hand and held the black dragon piece with the other hand..
“The place where we are now is an unknown mountain that separates from the Quanzhou Mountains. Assuming that Mount Tianzhu is here, I think... … Dokgaksa Temple probably moved like this.”
Swish swish-
Baek Soo-ryong drew on the floor the path of Dokgaksa Temple that he predicted..
“Here, Dokgaksa attacked Sanchae, and Mother Eunho appeared and fought. Since then, the traces of the fight continue like this..”
The black dragon piece moved in a winding line on the floor. It was a trace that Baeksu-ryong finally found after searching the entire area..
“And at this point the trail suddenly stopped. It probably means the fight is over..”
The place where the Black Dragon stopped was a distance that would take about half a day if you didn't use the light attack..
The story goes that the fight between Dokgaksa and Eunho was fierce..
“I climbed to the highest peak in the area to check, but I couldn't find any traces of Dokgaksa or Mother Eunho..”
Densely grown trees obstructed the view, and the natural energy that flowed out as the sacred mountain was destroyed disturbed Baeksu-ryong’s sense of energy..
In this situation, if the poisonous snake had completely killed its spirit and dug a cave or tunnel to hide, or if it had used magic to hide, even if it was a white water dragon, it would have taken a long time to find it..
“We need to find it as quickly as possible. It would be good if Mother Eun-ho killed Dokgaksa, but if Dokgaksa, who recovered from his wounds, went down to a private house... … The damage will become uncontrollable.”
Everyone's expressions became serious when they heard that the monster could go down to a private house..
“I definitely need to find it before then..”
“But the search range is too wide.…….”
“With this number of people…….”
Since the opponent was a spirit creature skilled at hiding energy, it was almost impossible to find it using energy sense..
This meant that we had to search the mountains one by one..
“What should I do?…….”
“Okay…….”
It was time for everyone to frown and think about a way..
Ya Soo-hyuk, who was lost in thought for a moment with his arms crossed, said.
“teacher. Why not leave mountain-related matters to mountain experts??”
“expert? who?”
“Bandits know the mountains best..”
Ya Soo-hyuk said that, then turned his head and called out to Debt-ju..
“hey. debt stock.”
“yes! boss!”
‘There was no feeling of discomfort at all from those who called me ‘boss’ or those who heard me..
Debt-ju, who got a new boss overnight, approached and bowed his head..
Ya Soo-hyuk asked him.
“There are a few wild vegetables around here.?”
