The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 19
〈 19Tue 〉 Accompanying Samjang, returning home (4）
* * *
The two walked in the direction where the girl disappeared..
Even traces of footprints were faint, and what was ahead was a dense forest, but I walked nonetheless..
And then, I met Jiang Shi..
Jabak.
The ones running around on the dried up bushes were clearly people who lived here..
I have no choice but to say that because their clothes were too shabby and unsightly to be warriors of the Hyeolcheon Church or the Murim Alliance..
“He's really strong.”
Mok Riwon laughed bitterly..
He even spat out the poisonous liquor and spoke to Dang Hwa-seo while holding a sword in one hand..
“I'm sorry for being stubborn..”
“It is done. The reason I didn't stop him until the end was because I also judged that what the Mok Sohyeop said had a point..”
Danghwaseo said that and laughed..
What he said was right, and he ended up facing the enemy again, but he didn't feel bad..
“Still, isn't it a good thing? There was no lost child here..”
Mokriwon was moved by Danghwaseo’s words..
So he burst out laughing, then took a step forward and opened his mouth..
“Stay out. I'll do it alone.”
“Would you mind??”
“There aren't as many as you might worry. Also, he doesn't look strong..”
Gangsi has a total of 15 districts..
The movements were so linear and dull that even a second-rate warrior seemed capable of defeating the opponent..
By the way, as Mok Seon-oh once said,.
“Aren't they citizens? Now I have to let you rest in peace..”
They were so weak.
*
Suddenly.
Mo Ri-won cut off the head of the Jiangshi who was running ahead..
It was a simple horizontal cut without any technique or technique..
Nevertheless, Kang Si’s head was cut cleanly..
The subsequent attack aimed at the back.
In this case, Mok Ri-won twisted his body with minimal movement and decapitated him..
Suddenly.
Mok Riwon’s expression was calm..
No, it would have been correct to say that he looked somewhat sad..
There is one reason.
For the first time since he learned the sword, for the first time he risked his life fighting someone..
‘…There isn't any.’
That's because I didn't feel alive in the person I was fighting with..
I wasn't saying that they are good at hiding their lives..
It literally meant that these people had no will to kill anyone..
They were just mechanically rushing at opponents who came into their radius, repeating the process of collapsing..
I didn't know whose intention it was.
I didn't even know why they were left here..
Mokriwon was sad about that..
…Even though they are such pitiful people, the world does not listen to the voices of the weak..
As Mok Seon-oh said, it was extremely sad that their screams could not reach anywhere..
Suddenly.
The head of the last Jiangshi fell off..
Mok Riwon took a deep breath..
The difference in skill was so overwhelming that there was no need to shed even a drop of sweat..
After finishing everything, Mo Ri-won put his sword in its sheath and lowered his head..
I slowly closed my eyes and spoke to myself..
‘Rest now.’
It was a moment of silence..
Now, in the bush where only silence remains.
Mokriwon continued to meditate for a long time before opening his eyes..
‘Master, I think I understand a little bit now..’
In doing so, I answered the question that had been inside me ever since..
It was a firm answer with no further hesitation..
Why does a charlatan have to be unmanned?.
‘Because the voices of the weak cannot be reached..’
What is it for?.
‘It is an association to represent their voices..’
So, the way forward is.
‘So that there will be fewer people who faint from lack of strength..’
It was also a cooperative.
*
Danghwaseo quietly observed the entire process..
I couldn't even think of anything to say in a situation that ended so easily that I wondered if it could really be this easy, so I just waited for Mok Ri-won to meditate..
Meanwhile.
flutter.
Mok Riwon fell to the side..
“…Small cooperative!”
Danghwaseo quickly ran to him and checked his condition..
My complexion was pure white..
He was breathing heavily, and the tips of his eyebrows were trembling..
What happened all of a sudden?.
While thinking about that, Danghwaseo remembered one fact that he had forgotten..
‘Blood alcohol!’
From the battle until now, Mo Ri-won has not taken a drink of poisoned wine..
‘Such stupid…!’
It was a remark that simultaneously criticized both Mok Ri-won for not drinking the poisoned liquor and himself for not noticing it..
It had to be that way..
Janhyeolgok is a land filled with poison and fraud..
Even though Mokriwon is the ultimate uninhabited place, it is a difficult place to survive on your own..
This is a clear sign of addiction.
Dang Hwa-seo's hand was towards his baggage..
This is to prevent further poisoning even if it is a new poisonous drink..
First, Danghwaseo’s expression as he was rummaging through his belongings quickly began to crumple..
‘does not exist.’
It seemed like the last drink I was drinking was the last drink..
‘I hid it?’
He hid that fact from himself..
The reason was not difficult to find.
Even though he knew it was time to go back, he must have been forced to do it..
I guess he thought this was more important than spreading poison through his body..
It was a foolish and foolish choice, but it was his choice..
‘rotten…!’
It was the worst choice.
Danghwaseo quickly turned his head..
‘how….’
look around.
This is the middle of the valley.
Even though I ran with the Gyeongsinbeop, there was enough distance from the outside that I had to move for half a day to get out..
It was right to rush out immediately, but there was no guarantee that Mokriwon would hold out until then..
It wasn't a matter of life.
The problem was the aftereffects that would occur if the poison penetrated deep into the organs..
Danghwaseo gritted his teeth and thought about what he had to do..
‘The poison of the Sohyeop, the escape of the small blood valley, and Jeongyang.’
The Jeongyang problem can be solved by feeding the inner circle of the person-in-law..
So, considering only miasma and escape is the right choice..
The progression of the miasma must be slowed down as much as possible..
And then I'll have to pick up Mokriwon and get out of here..
Danghwaseo calmly reflected on what needed to be done..
While doing so, he pecked Mok Riwon's cheek..
“Neck narrowness! can you hear my voice!”
“Umm….”
When I roll over my eyelids, I see half-open pupils..
In the meantime, it looks like he hasn't completely lost his senses as his eyes are directed towards him..
“Listen carefully. From now on, I will absorb the poison of the small cooperatives. We'll take care of your movement, so just worry about one thing..”
Tang Hwa-seo took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed Mo Ri-won's left index finger..
Fresh blood leaking out little by little.
Danghwaseo confirmed this and continued..
“Now direct the poison towards the wound. You must not lose your mind. If you understand, blink twice.!”
Words spoken in a voice that was close to shouting.
Mokriwon gave a shaky answer..
Danghwaseo nodded and then carried Mogniwon on his back..
He then wrapped one arm around his neck and put his injured index finger in his mouth..
“It's wrong.!”
A cloudy dark green energy wave spread out from Danghwaseo's entire body and focused on his legs..
Immediately after.
Taat!
Danghwaseo’s Shinyoung was quickly shot out..
*
A wind strong enough to sting my face.
Soft hair that flutters here and there and hits your cheek..
And a soft, warm sensation felt at the tip of my left index finger..
“Jjong.”
Mo Ri-won reflected on them with a dazed mind..
eyes were still half closed.
My stomach hurt and it was hard to breathe..
My head is pounding, and I can't help but think that I've never felt this much pain in my life..
‘miasma….’
We must drive out the poison..
It was not a judgment made by Mok Ri-won himself, but a recollection of what Dang Hwa-seo had said while he was in such a daze..
He even lied and fought with Jiang Shi, so he did it because he thought that if he didn't even listen to what he said, Dang Hwa-seo would scold him greatly..
It was a good thing.
Mokriwon's violent spirit was running steadily even while it was covered in poison..
Internal power flows from the Danjeon and rises along the blood path..
And, with a lot of poisonous energy spread throughout the body, it flows through the waist, chest, shoulders, and arms to the tip of the index finger..
OK.
“Jjong.”
A tingling sensation and something like a warm, moist flesh wrapped around my index finger..
Even in his daze, Mokriwon thought..
For some reason, it tickles and feels good..
Except for the fact that my physical condition is not so good, I feel very comfortable and warm..
The soft hair that slapped my cheek smelled different from my own..
The feeling of someone hugging you tightly makes you feel relaxed..
A faint smile appeared on Mo Liwon’s lips..
This is because while I was enjoying the comfort of my life, I finally realized something..
‘the smell of soger.’
The sweet smell that always emanated when I was with Danghwaseo..
It was a smile that bloomed as I realized that that was her body type..
“Jjong.”
The sound I hear and the sensation I feel at my fingertips.
That was the last feeling Mok Riwon felt..
Feeling relieved little by little, Mok Ri-won fell asleep..
*
The stream where the bittersweet valley ends.
There was a sweaty woman and a man lying on the floor..
The woman looked at the man's complexion without even catching her breath..
I scooped up water from the stream and poured it into his mouth, and wiped the sweat from his face with a piece of cloth. Then, he finally relaxed and let his body hang down..
Anger appeared on the face of the woman who had just caught her breath..
However, it didn't look like he was trying to harm the man..
The woman lifted her right hand and placed it on the man's cheek and began to pinch it hard..
For some reason, the way he moved his lips seemed like he was scolding him, but whether he knew it or not, the man continued to sleep with a faint smile on his face..
There was someone who watched it all from afar..
It was the same girl that Mok Ri-won and Dang Hwa-seo had seen in the village of Janhyeolgok..
“Wow, he sleeps really well..”
The sound of laughter is exactly the type that older people would make..
The shaking shoulders showed how happy she was feeling..
Squeak.
The girl put her hands over her face and took off her skin..
Then, the face of an old man with a simple expression appeared underneath..
“Now, take care of it..”
The old man handed a leather and bast mask (human??) to the masked person who was guarding next to him..
The man accepted it and asked the old man.
“Are you okay?.”
“What do you mean?.”
“Have you not lost your personal support? Moreover, Gangsi Island….”
“It has been done. In the first place, it was a private landowner who raised it with the intention of taking care of it, and Gangsi also left it behind because it was a hassle to clean it up. Didn’t you see something interesting instead?.”
As the old man said that, he looked at Mokriwon in the distance with warm eyes..
“The pastor made something like hell.”
The masked man quietly bowed his head at the old man’s words..
“Yes, it looks like the Sword Saint has done something great again..”
“What is Geomseong?.”
The old man chuckled..
“He's just a clueless old man..”
The old man sighed, straightened his back, and turned around..
“Let's go, I checked, so it's done..”
“Those words are….”
“won't touch.”
The masked man looked in the direction of Mokriwon after hearing those words..
‘Is it passed?.’
Should I say he's lucky, or should I say he's that special?.
The masked man knew.
How strict are the standards for the elderly who leave behind their backs?.
She has the appearance of a grandmother that can be seen everywhere, but what a fearful person she is..
Salseong (？？) goat cow.
One of the top ten masters of the martial arts faction named in the Four Kings of the Six Kingdoms..
A dark star who punishes evildoers under the cover of night and is revered as a thief with the job of assassin..
On the day when blood death ended, I was one of the ten people who decided the fate of the man who had suffered the fate of a thousand deaths..
Let's watch this child until he grows up. If I see this kid from Kangho's hair dark, I will kill him myself..
What the goat said that day.
Seeing her turn around like this, that guy named Mok Ri-won must have caught her fancy..
“What are you doing? Hurry up and stop coming?”
“I'm going.”
At the urging, the masked man erased the thoughts that came to his mind and followed the goat cow..
The steps continued.
There is a gap that can be seen when you climb up a long way from the entrance of the cave where the human face pillar is located..
After getting out of there and crossing the forest road, there was a place where you could get through the fog..
Salgok(？？）.
The darkest star of this powerhouse was hiding behind the poisonous earth again today, choosing its prey..
