EP.268 Chapter 2 and 6 – Stars and Snakes (10)

Kyo immediately approached Yeom and asked:.
“What's going on?.”
Kyo was surprised that she was crying so much because there was something big enough to make the Imoogi cry ahead of her ascension to the great joint world..
I asked, wondering if the breakup with Lee Moo-baek was that sad..
“Were you sad that the child was leaving? Still, we can see it one more time before ascending to heaven, right? If he doesn't come back by then, I will have to hold him by the collar.….”
“It's not like that.”
Yeom laughed and wiped away his tears..
“I didn't cry because I was sad. just….”
“just?”
“I just cried.”
It was a ridiculous excuse..
Even though Gyo didn't believe what she said at all, he didn't continue questioning her any further..
I felt like I shouldn't have done that..
The thought that she doesn't want to ask any more questions takes over my whole body..
It was a salt technique.
Forcing emotions to distort the flow of thought.
It was only after living for 700 years that Gyo realized that this was the true intention of this moment..
Anyway, for that reason, Kyo sat next to Yeom and talked about something else..
“The guy fell asleep. He said he would leave early tomorrow and had his bags all packed..”
“Yeah, I saw it..”
“He's stupid. I had no idea how dangerous it was outside..”
“You're an adult now.”
“20What makes an adult if you've only lived for a year?.”
“Humans are adults. It grows that fast.”
Yeom mumbled and smiled faintly..
“It seems like it's growing so fast. It feels like I'm dying quickly.”
“Isn’t this a short-lived species that barely lives for one day?.”
“It takes 100 years to learn the Tonap method well. no. Will Mubaek survive any longer??”
Kyo could understand what she meant..
“Maybe so. Because I have talent.”
I wasn't just talking about the top line..
Even the physical body that Lee Moo-baek possessed as a human being was far beyond the ordinary level..
If I consistently practiced the Tonap method I taught and never let go of the sword, I might have lived a life of 3 years..
There must be a way to become a hermit after living all that way..
Kyo suddenly had this thought..
“Maybe you two will meet before me..”
When Yeom ascends to heaven and Lee Moo-baek ascends, the two meet again..
It would be at least 800 years before Gyo reunited with them..
Kyo frowned, not liking it a little..
Yeom said as if muttering.
“Things like that happen, too. No, I hope so..”
“don't you know Will that future happen or not?.”
“It's a leak.”
“That's funny.”
Kyo snorted..
While doing so, I took a peek at her calm expression during the conversation..
The bitter smile was still there, but I was glad that it was better than before, I thought that at the time..
It was 29 years later, only one month before Yeom's ascension, that Gyo learned of Yeom's heart and the reason why she had been sad ever since she found Lee Moo-baek..
The Church realized too late that all the distortions had been predicted from the beginning..
*
29 years after Lee Moo-baek left, Yeongsan became very quiet as one righteous person disappeared..
To put it another way, I became bored and also became peaceful..
Gyo was spending the whole day completing the first inner altar..
1000It was the time to finish the thousandth 100 years of the year, so I had to finish it well, but I couldn't, so I suffered from hardship every day..
there was no other reason.
Because the breakup with Yeom is just around the corner..
In fact, after Lee Moo-baek left, I was feeling more and more disappointed because I had no time to talk to her..
With that in mind, I looked around Yeongsan with my clairvoyance that day's teaching had not yet been completed..
Then we made eye contact with Yeom..
she pursed her lips.
‘Lee, Lee, Ol, Rae?’
When asked with a grin, Kyo immediately got up and went to see her..
It was a stream..
“Why don’t you come and peek?.”
“never been like that.”
“How can I cover the sky with my hands??”
Yeom proudly spread his hand and covered Gyo's eyes..
Kyo frowned as the white fingers blocked his view..
When she spread her fingers, a smile appeared through the cracks..
“…Clean it up.”
“Grain.”
It was a clear answer.
However, I soon realized that even her expression was not bright..
As the hand disappeared, the empty space of the smile was filled..
her eyes weren't smiling.
“Why is your expression like that??”
“what?”
“that….”
Isn’t it the face of someone who is crying?.
As Gyo hesitated and swallowed his words, Yeom opened his mouth..
“Kyoya.”
“why but.”
“Sorry.”
“what?”
“Because it doesn't tell me anything.”
It was a sincere apology..
What do you mean by not telling me?.
“Are you talking about a rumor??”
If that were the case, there would be no need to apologize..
It was a moment when I thought.
Hwaak!
And the spiritual energy spread throughout Yeongsan..
It wasn't just energy.
that.
“…!”
“It was covered up until now. four eyes.”
It was a spirit that removed the darkness..
Only then did Gyo realize that the great mystery that formed the entire sacred mountain originated from her..
It was a strange thing.
Originally, the clairvoyance that comes from forming the first inner altar is, as the word says, a miraculous power that allows one to see a thousand miles away, but isn't one's own clairvoyance only able to look inside this sacred mountain?.
Gyo thought it was because his clairvoyance was not properly completed due to his feelings for Yeom, but it was confirmed that Yeom was interfering with Gyo's clairvoyance..
“why?”
Why did you cover your eyes? Are you revealing it now?.
When asked, Yeom answered sadly.
“Mubaek.”
Damn it, Gyo’s body stiffened..
“That kid is dangerous.”
Kyo doubted her words..
Immediately my clairvoyance opened up..
There was a sight visible above the teacher's eyelids..
-Tell me the location of the Imoogi..
-Could… No.
-Then let's continue the torture again..
-Wow!!!!
very small and dark prison.
There, Lee Moo-baek was detained and skewered..
that was the last time.
Yeom cut off his clairvoyance..
The school was confused.
How can Lee Moo-baek, who thought he would live well, maintain his composure when he is suffering in such a miserable prison?.
Even while my mind was shaking, there were words that came to mind..
-Tell me the location of the Imoogi..
It is possible to quickly infer that what that mysterious person wants is their location..
However, there was still an unanswered question..
“…Why?.”
Kyo looked at Yeom with a face full of resentment..
Lee Moo-baek was a person of special significance to Gyo..
He was a child I personally raised from infancy, and as such, he was a child I could see as my own child..
The same would have been true for Yeom..
Anyway, wasn’t it Yeom who brought Lee Moo-baek and named him?.
she would have known.
Since you have the ability to read the sky, you would have already known about this and been able to prepare..
No, even if I didn't have that ability, I could have prevented it in advance with my clairvoyance..
If you can't even do that yourself, you could use your clairvoyance..
But why….
“…Cheongi.”
“What?”
“I leaked it.”
Suddenly, Kyo’s body stopped..
Yeom gently hugged him..
“Sorry.”
It was later that I learned the meaning of that word..
At that time, Gyo did not understand anything about Yeom..
*
Although he could not get any answer from her, there was something that Gyo came to understand later while reading Cheongi..
From the day Kyo was first born, everything was decided..
The man named Lee Moo-baek was originally a demonic being prepared to ascend to the realm of immortality, and Gyo was a spirit being who had to die to lead him to the demonic realm..
To hide the fact, Yeom hid Yeongsan from the world on the day Gyo was born..
A barrier was set up to prevent Lee Moo-baek from coming to this mountain, and in order to prevent Gyo from feeling the discomfort, the barrier was limited to humans..
Nevertheless, Lee Moo-baek came..
As she said, as if you couldn't cover the sky with your hands, fate flowed as planned and brought Gyo and Lee Moo-baek face to face..
So Yeom was sad..
To prevent that from happening,
“are you okay. Nothing will happen.”
In the end, I gave up on my own ascension..
“I will make it like that.”
That day, Gyo was bound by the spirit of flame and collapsed, unable to move even a single step..
When I came to my senses, the pain had already disappeared..
Yeom used clairvoyance.
The sight I saw with my clairvoyant eyes was truly terrifying..
The place where Lee Mubaek was imprisoned was a huge imperial palace..
Yeom leisurely entered there and slaughtered the humans..
it was taboo.
It was taboo to kill while ascending to heaven, and collecting resentment against him was a taboo that a dragon should never do..
At that time, Gyo did not fully understand her intentions and simply went crazy and solved the flame's magic..
I headed straight to where she and Lee Moo-baek were..
There was a sight we faced at the end.
“Come on, Kyoya..”
She was smiling as brightly as the day we first met..
The blood of countless people formed a river under my feet..
“We must punish those who break the taboo. Because that's the Imoogi's job..”
Her pure white scale sword pointed at Gyo..
Meanwhile, the eyes were as red as the eyes..
“It's an auspicious spirit. you.”
Cheonsalseong (天殺星) was born on this earth that day, that way..
A month before his ascension, the Imoogi's spirit collects countless lives and resentments..
With just one snake,
“…Master?”
to save humans.
