The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 256
EP.257 Chapter 5 - Disappearance, investigation (6)
* * *
Revealing Cheonsalseong was something I was prepared for..
Anyway, wasn’t the White Lotus Cult the predecessor of the Demonic Cult?.
It would be absurd to say that the White Lotus Church does not know what they know..
There is a possibility that he may be in secret..
However, there was something strange about what that man said..
“…Jamirani?”
Even Mok Ri-won knew who the owner of Jamiseong was..
7This is because I remember that Wigwangcheon was surrounded during the war that broke out in Cheonghae a year ago..
Although it is a memory that only exists in a blur as it was consumed by the heavenly spirit, when I think of the energy that remained in my body and the purple shape, it was clearly Jamiseong..
But since the star he had was his own, Mok Ri-won's doubts were becoming more intense..
“Hmm, I guess you don't know. There were clearly traces of an investigation into the blood demon war..”
“…I remember my question is why they call me the master of Jamiseong?.”
“Because the answer lies in blood demon warfare, if I say that, would you understand??”
Mo Liwon frowned even more..
“…I discovered an underground space there..”
“What did you find?”
“White bones, and a book..”
“Do you know the contents of the book??”
“Because it is written in the language of the West….”
Startle―
Only then did Mok Ri-won's eyes open so wide that they seemed to be torn apart..
It is the land of White Lotus Bridge in the West..
And the language of the book is the language of the Western Region.….
“Is it you? The original owner of the book?”
The man spoke with gloomy eyes shining beneath his deeply sunken eyelids..
“Yes, that's exactly what it was..”
“It was like that?”
“It was stolen. Books. To Dan Cheon-hwa.”
Mok Riwon’s mouth opened..
The man stood up, hugged him in an awkward position, and said:.
“Greetings. He is said to be Dan Ji-seon, the leader of Baekryeon Bridge..”
Mokriwon became confused..
There was too much information.
*
The leader of the Baekryun Church, who introduced himself as Dan Ji-seon, explained in a quiet tone the reason why he had come to Jungwon and his purpose..
“White Lotus Bridge has been monitoring the stars for a long time. It was to figure out the direction of heaven's will. The book you got was a book included in the job. Strictly speaking, it is a banned book. The knowledge we gained and its viciousness went beyond the limit and were banned books that had to be sealed forever..”
“…Why was it in the blood demon's hands?.”
“I told you. It was stolen. I don't know if you've noticed my last name, but Dancheonhwa is one of the direct descendants of our Baekryun family. He committed himself to the devil's cult with the stolen books..”
Mok Riwon narrowed his eyes..
This is because I never thought that the story about the blood demon Dancheonhwa would come out here..
It's ridiculous to question authenticity.
This is because the most convincing evidence to prove that his words are true exists in the form of stars..
“I believe you know what kind of star Perm Castle is..”
“…The star that destroys wickedness.”
It is a star that imposes constant evil punishment on its owner, and it is a star that causes indescribable pain to its body when it is caught up in evil thoughts..
You can tell by looking at Dan Dan-seon’s skinny body..
He is already paying the price for his perm..
If he lied again now, he should have writhed in pain and cried..
That was the punishment given by the stars..
Without having to go far, isn't even Mokriwon still unable to completely let go of the life of a heavenly being and end up compromising with the stars?.
“Baekryun Bridge has no intention of harming the central region. Our purpose is to recover the book and resolve the accident caused by the book..”
Dan Ji-seon said that and pointed to Mokriwon..
“He asked why I called you the master of Jamiseong. I'll answer you.”
In the midst of increasing confusion and loss of thoughts, Dan Ji-seon gave the answer to what Mok Ri-won was most curious about right now..
“This is the name of the book, Yeokseongdaebeop. That ability is….”
I couldn't believe it, but I said something I wanted to believe..
“…Turning the Star Over.”
Mokriwon’s breath stopped..
*
Mok Ri-won came out of Dan Ji-seon’s house..
“Small cooperative!”
Danghwaseo immediately rushed over and checked the condition of Mokriwon..
“Why is your complexion like that? If anything happens….”
“…no, no.”
Mo Ri-won held his pounding head and placed his hand on Dang Hwa-seo's shoulder..
Dan Ji-seon’s words were still lingering in my head..
-Dancheonhwa had one purpose. Becoming the owner of this land yourself. For that, a thousand-year-old was needed. I was trying to harness the power to bring the world to its knees by putting a leash on it..
To sum up, the original owner of Jamiseong was himself..
And as a newborn, he was used for his purpose and had to embody Cheonsalseong rather than Jamiseong..
There is no reason to doubt it because the person who said it was the owner of Perm Castle..
so,
“under….”
Mok Ri-won let out a long breath as the emotions weighed down his body..
Mokriwon’s knees bowed..
“Small cooperative!”
Danghwaseo’s voice became distant..
My heart was beating too fast and heavily..
The moment I realized that what I always resented wasn't actually my fault, tears welled up in my eyes..
My eyes became so hot that they vomited out fluid..
Feelings of desperation, relief, and resentment ran through my mind..
But the biggest thing was gratitude..
‘Master….’
What naturally came to mind was Mokseonoh..
it was his life.
Mok Riwon laughed while crying..
‘Master is not wrong.’
Mok Seon-oh’s choice was not wrong..
What he wanted was not wrong at all.
The newborn child who was said to be a devil who would confuse the world was not a devil..
He was a child fully qualified to become a charlatan..
The guilt goes away.
Gratitude increases that much..
It seems that his death was not just due to his selfish nature, and I felt that he had truly fulfilled his duty as a thief until the moment of his death..
“Ugh….”
Without knowing any shame, I cried again like a child in front of Dang Hwa-seo..
Danghwaseo, who had been fidgeting without knowing why, eventually wrapped his arms around Mokriwon's body and patted his back..
Mok Riwon soaked her arms..
*
Dan Ji-seon sat and meditated until the crying outside the door stopped..
It was one of the meditation methods he had been practicing for a long time to empty his mind and turn it into emptiness..
Dan Ji-seon was unable to move emotionally due to his perm nature that punished him even for the slightest desire..
Since he had to pursue only good will and truth, keeping his private thoughts was almost a taboo for him..
That's why this moment was quite difficult for Dan Ji-seon..
I frowned at the pain that felt like my heart was being stabbed with a needle..
Those things stopped after the two people disappeared..
sweet―
the door opened.
“Teacher.”
“Where did you take the two of you?.”
“First, I guided you to a safe house..”
“How was the condition?.”
“It seems like it will be more difficult to talk right now..”
The guard bowed his head..
Dan Ji-seon slowly opened her eyes and looked at him..
“Was that the end??”
The guard hesitated at Dan Ji-seon’s question..
Having abandoned even his own name and lived as Dan Ji-seon's shadow, he was given an additional role in addition to the title of guard of the religious leader..
“…Looks similar. With Madam.”
It expresses Dan Ji-seon's feelings on behalf of him..
I had to put my feelings into words and express them on behalf of him who should not be swayed by emotions..
“This is especially true because he is pretty even though he is a man. My wife's facial features were so similar that I was shocked the first time I saw her..”
“Did you do that?.”
“Martial arts are also strong. This one also resembles you..”
“Did you do that?.”
“Teacher.”
“became.”
Dan Ji-seon said no more..
As soon as I heard the words, my heart tightened due to the emotions that moved me..
However, he lifted his cane, stood up, and staggered towards a corner of the room..
He had realized through long experience that in this situation, falling asleep was a better option..
Dan Ji-seon lay down on the bed..
The price he had to pay was a body that was so thin that it could no longer function..
It was a punishment for a selfish choice that broke the taboo and moved the group only for one's own sake, against the will of the Permanence..
Although he could no longer regain the power that reached the sky or the martial arts that could bring anyone to his knees, he had no regrets..
“Teacher, would you like to sleep?.”
“Yeah, I guess that's how it should be..”
“…honorary name.”
Dan Ji-seon closed his eyes..
He told Mok Ri-won that he had two purposes for coming to Jungwon, but in fact, he hid one more purpose..
I didn't lie.
It's just hidden.
‘sorry. mother.’
I guess I couldn't tell the one remaining truth..
how can i say.
His third purpose was to collect the remains of his mother, who had died after being kidnapped by Dan Cheon-hwa, and to confirm that his younger brother was safe..
‘Still, I'm glad. My brother seems to be doing well..’
seemed happy enough.
I met a good relationship, gained obscurity, was looked up to by everyone, and also harbored righteousness..
-If you are a boy, you will receive first priority, and if you are a girl, you will get priority preference. What about your brother's name??
Although I can't tell you his name, this is all I need..
For Dan Ji-seon, the only relief was that her younger brother did not live like me..
