Chapter 345
345fury. Similar but better way
Baek Soo-ryong suddenly felt something strange..
“wait for a sec. I heard that Binggung visited the temple decades ago, and that he has a disciple at Hyeonmuhakgwan.?”
Bonmun generally means prohibiting all internal and external activities of the sect..
In fact, the North Sea Ice Palace has not had any ‘official’ external activities for the past several decades. This was the reason why there was little information about the ice palace despite its opening..
However, Baek Su-ryong knew the reason why Binggung was shut down. He recalled the story Seori-ae had told him..
- When the Ice Moon Goddess did not return to the palace for over ten years, a fight broke out in the Ice Palace to find a new successor. As a result of that fight, Bingung's power was greatly weakened..
In the end, blood religion was the cause..
If they hadn't set a trap and kidnapped the Ice Moon Goddess, the Ice Palace wouldn't have been thrown into chaos and become embroiled in civil war..
[This is a child who escaped from the North Sea Ice Palace a long time ago. I cut off all ties with my family and committed myself to Hyeonmuhakgwan. It's already been over thirty years..]
“……He seems to have a story..”
[You will know when you meet.]
Changryong Shingeom called the deputy governor and told him to bring a disciple from the North Sea Ice Palace..
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man with a white face and a cold expression came into the administration room. When he saw the white water dragon, he took the gun..
“It's called Seol Shin-woo. The guest who came to visit Master said he was looking for me.…….”
It seemed like he hadn't heard anything else from the adjutant general..
Baek Soo-ryong faced him and took the gun..
“This is Baek Soo-ryong, an instructor at Cheongryong Academic Center..”
“……Cheongryong Credit Union?”
“yes. That's what it's called.”
Seol Shin-woo's eyes widened for a moment but then became calm..
The lack of emotional agitation seemed to be either his original nature or his cultivation was quite deep..
“Why did Cheongryong Credit Union seek me out??”
Baek Su-ryong did not spin around and speak..
“I have a question I would like to ask about the North Sea Ice Palace..”
“…….”
While Seol Shin-woo remained silent, Changryong Shingeom expressed his dissatisfaction into Baek Soo-ryong's head..
[Your disposition is truly unpredictable. Why do you treat me poorly and treat my disciples with respect??]
Wow-!
Baek Soo-ryong tapped the blade of the Changryong God Sword, which was trembling in dissatisfaction, with his finger..
‘I usually only speak informally to people I’m close to..’
[……Did you mean that you acknowledge me as your true friend?…….]
To the vague answer, an interpretation that is better than a dream was added..
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the Changryong God Sword and nodded vigorously..
‘of course.’
At that time, Seol Shin-woo broke the silence and spoke..
“May I ask why you are asking about the North Sea Ice Palace??”
“It would be quicker to show you in person..”
A pure white air current swirled over the body of the white water dragon..
Kwakwakwakwa-!
As a cold wind reminiscent of the cold snow from the north blew into the governor’s room, Seol Shin-woo’s eyes widened..
“Bingbaekshingong… … . And that's a perfect ice ball.…….”
“I had a connection in the past..”
“May I ask who your teacher is??”
“Bingwol Goddess is my teacher..”
“……!!”
Seol Shin-woo, who had lost his composure, seemed to have never imagined that name would come up, and his expression became one of great confusion. He muttered to himself with a blank expression..
“This cannot happen. He disappeared a long time ago. furthermore… … . He is…….”
“You fell into the despicable trap of blood religion..”
“…….”
It was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of.
Baek Su-ryong did not miss the painfully distorted expression of Seol Shin-woo at that moment..
‘You know something..’
I was convinced after seeing Seol Shin-woo’s reaction now..
The North Sea Ice Palace knows that Master Eun's disappearance was the work of a blood cult..
Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Seol Shin-woo..
There was one more thing I found out.
‘interest. I learned the bingbaeksin technique..’
Among the stories I heard from Seori-ae, there was also a method of electing a small palace lord for Bing Baek Shin-gong..
- We gather children with outstanding qualifications from a young age, teach them the beginning of Bing Baek Shin Gong, and select outstanding children through competition. So when he turns 20, the most outstanding person becomes the Sogungju..
We gather qualified children and teach them in the early part, and we filter out the outstanding children and teach them in the middle part..
Through this competition, the last remaining person becomes the Sogung Master and finally receives the complete Bingbaeksin technique..
The long-standing tradition and most important ritual of the Beihai Ice Palace.
Baek Soo-ryong noticed Seol Shin-woo's martial arts skills with his keen gaze..
‘I got it to at least the middle part..’
In other words, this man was also a candidate for Sogungju in the past..
‘Considering their age, they are probably not in the same class as Master Eun, but are they in the next generation??’
When Baek Soo-ryong guessed this far, Seol Shin-woo said with a pained expression..
“……I cut off all ties with the Beihai Ice Palace. Sorry, I have nothing more to say..”
“Is it okay to think that my master's enemy is in the North Sea Ice Palace? Did they join hands with the blood religion??”
Despite Baeksu-ryong’s subtle killing, Seol Shin-woo kept his mouth shut..
“i don't know.”
“……Let me ask you one last question. Please answer carefully.”
The fearsome life was focused on Seol Shin-woo..
I didn't have time to persuade him slowly, nor did I want to. Baek Soo-ryong was willing to even use force if necessary..
at that moment.
[Leave it to me.]
The Changryongshingeom vibrated with a soft light, and soon her voice rang out in the governor's office..
[Shinwoo. I can see a lot of anguish on your face..]
“This voice... … . Master?”
In Hyeonmu Hakkan, Hyeoncheon Shinnyeo’s position is almost like that of a god..
The best magician in the world.
She was an object of awe to those who gathered from all over the central plains to learn the art of magic..
Even though I'm currently hanging on the white water dragon's waist..
dump.
Seol Shin-woo knelt in front of Changryong Shingeom..
Even though they met and had her as a teacher for over 30 years, he still respected and found it difficult for her..
[I know that your old troubles are related to your family. So I deliberately didn't ask until now..]
“Master…….”
[However, now that the principles of heaven have become distorted, a being born with a destiny of reverse heaven has come to visit me, and he is the man in front of you..]
Seol Shin-woo looked at Baek Su-ryong with surprised eyes..
Yeokcheon's fate.
Blue Dragon Credit Union was born with that destiny..
As someone who learned the art of magic from the goddess of heaven, I knew how great its meaning was..
[His unreadable fate has reached me, and it has also reached the Ice Palace. There may be a way to correct the principles of heaven..]
“Master. I am…….”
[Please. Can you tell me what happened in the Beihai Ice Palace??]
Hyeoncheon Shinnyeo was a person who did not ask her disciples about their past..
When a connection is made, he takes you as his disciple and teaches you without asking anything..
Thirty-five years ago, it was she who accepted a man from Beihai who blindly knocked on the door of Hyeonmuhakgwan..
Therefore, the words of Hyeoncheon Shinnyeo’s request seemed more weighty than any lifeless threat..
“North Sea Ice Palace…….”
Seol Shin-woo, who was biting his lip and thinking about it, finally let out a long sigh and said,.
“I made a deal with a blood cult..”
he added quickly.
“To be exact, my family made a deal with a blood religion..”
With a resigned face, Seol Shin-woo spoke about the terrible crime committed by the Beihae Ice Palace..
“There are several families in Beihai. Among them, the most powerful are the Eun clan, Seol clan, and Han clan. There are three families.”
These three families could be said to be the nobility of the North Sea..
It would not be an exaggeration to say that most of the past lords of the North Sea Ice Palace came from three families..
Among them, Eun Yerin is a descendant of the Eun family and was born with talent that is considered the most outstanding in the history of Bingung..
However, she was frustrated with the closed life of the Bing Palace and was not very attached to her position as the lord of the small palace..
The tragedy began there.
“At that time, there was a woman in the Xue family with great talent and ambition. But unfortunately, I was born in the same era as Eun Ye-rin. You are my aunt..”
Bingbaekmuhu snow training.
After the disappearance of the Ice Moon Goddess, the Iron Lady took the throne after a bloody succession struggle..
“My aunt… … . You joined hands with Hyeolgyo to become the next great palace lord..”
-Binggung may have had an affair with a blood religion. No hard evidence, but I still doubt them.
Pungwolhwagong said that Binggung was the source that gave Master Eun information about the residence of the god of life and death..
Baek Soo-ryong remembered those words and asked with a cool expression..
“Is Seol Su-ryun the one who gave fake information to Bingwol Shinnyeo??”
“……It will happen.”
Baek Soo-ryong clearly engraved his enemy's name in his mind..
“My aunt’s ambition did not end even after she became the princess. The aunt wanted to make Seolga the eternal owner of the ice palace..”
Money from unknown sources began to flow into the North Sea Ice Palace..
With that power, Seolsu-ryun increased the power of the Seol family, not the North Sea Ice Palace..
At the time, it was the North Sea Ice Palace whose power had weakened to the point where it had to be closed..
As the Seol family began to grow in power amid the palace lord's one-sided favoritism, the balance maintained by the three families - the Eun family, the Hang family, and the Seol family - began to collapse..
“As a candidate for Sogungju at the time, I heard many stories from my aunt. He had no children and cared very much for his relatives. After hearing that, my aunt's people started spying on me.…….”
I could see guilt on Seol Shin-woo’s face as he paused for a moment..
Baek Su-ryong asked him.
“External funds flowed in, but didn't other families protest??”
“Of course, the backlash was strong. However, during that time, there was an attack on the Bing Palace by the Wulin people from the central plains..”
“…….”
“It was a terrible thing. Many of Bingung’s masters have died. Among them, there were also candidates for Sogungju like me. Some children were kidnapped. After fending off that raid, Bingungong was united as one..”
“hmm…….”
Although he felt a great sense of discomfort in that incident, Baek Soo-ryong did not bother to point it out..
“I tried desperately to become the next great oxbow master..”
Later followers of the Seol family, including Seol Shin-woo, learned martial arts under tremendous support and the palace lord's subtle favoritism..
However, not everything went as Seol Su-ryun wanted..
A talent that overwhelms all the later exponents of the Seol family has appeared..
“……Eunhwiryeong. There was a girl who was so outstanding that she was called the reincarnation of the Ice Moon Goddess..”
No matter how much the palace lord was, he could not ignore the most important tradition of Binggung..
“In the end, our lord Sogung became Eunhwiryeong. She might have become the palace lord by now..”
Eunhwilyeong.
Baek Soo-ryong had that name engraved in his mind..
“After I was eliminated from the oxbow competition, I ran away while my aunt was very shocked. I couldn't handle his anger. I also wanted to run away from the sins my family committed..”
For a short period of time, Seol Shin-woo's face looked like he was ten years older. he let out a long sigh.
“I don't know what happens after that. After running away, I knocked on the door of the Xuanwu Study Hall and paid no attention to the Beihai Ice Palace..”
And there was silence.
Baek Soo-ryong organized the story he heard from Seol Shin-woo in his head..
Seol Su-ryun's conspiracy to become the lord of the palace.
Blood religion funds flowed into the North Sea Ice Palace.
No matter how you think about it, the incident of the Jungwon Murim people's attack on the North Sea Ice Palace is suspicious..
‘There's no way the money just flowed in. The martial arts and objects of the blood religion would also have flowed into the Ice Palace. Maybe people too.’
If the Blood Cult had expanded its metallurgical influence over the decades, it would not have been surprising if the North Sea Ice Palace had become an ally of the Blood Cult by now..
but…….
‘No matter how much of a blood religion it is, it cannot easily swallow up a power as big as the North Sea Ice Palace..’
The Beihai Ice Palace is a place with a very closed culture..
It won't be easy to ignore old traditions.
Even if they become allies of the Blood Cult, there will definitely be people who oppose it..
For example, the Eun family, which is the Eunsabu family..
‘If Eunhwiryeong became the next grand palace lord,…….’
It's worth checking out.
“Anyway, I guess I'll have to go check it out myself..”
In response to Baek Soo-ryong’s muttering, Seol Shin-woo spoke with concern..
“The North Sea did not welcome foreigners. Since the door is closed, rather than opening the door, they might try to kill you..”
“If that's the case…….”
Changryong Shingeom, who had been listening quietly until then, expressed his opinion..
[What if you disguise yourself as CNU??]
Baek Soo-ryong learned the Ice Baek Shin Gong. Seol Shin-woo had also mastered the Bing Baek Shin-gong to the halfway point, so if he disguised himself in a similar way, he would be able to fool him..
Ugh!
Changryongshingeom trembled, as if secretly hoping for praise..
“It's a good idea, but…….”
“No way.”
Seol Shin-woo shook his head resolutely..
“I am a sinner who ran away from the ice palace. If I go back, I'll be straight in jail..”
The Changryongshingeom became limp. Baek Soo-ryong patted his sword body and laughed..
“There is a similar but better way..”
[a better way?]
If a criminal who ran away returns, he will be imprisoned, but what if this is the only blood he has left??
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the man who was a close relative of the Xue family and was once a candidate for Lord of the Little Palace and said..
“I'm disguising myself as your son..”
If you are a young expert who has mastered the Ice White Shinkong to a very high level,.
Wouldn’t it be quite welcoming at the snow house??
