EP.275 Chiljang – Insulation, connection (2)

Mokriwon was greatly impressed by the appearance of Yongjungsan Mountain..
I wasn't surprised by the grandeur or anything like that. To begin with, Yongzhong Mountain is a small mountain on a flat area that is not very high..
What surprised Mokriwon was the serenity of the mountain scenery..
The exterior of the manor, steeped in age, blends in with the nearby vegetation..
The signboard, wall, and stone wall, along with the light green thin trees, stand in place as one, but there is a fog that further blurs the boundary, so for some reason it feels like a dreamlike atmosphere..
This is my place.
The main house of the Hubei noble family that rules Yangyang County and one of the five major martial arts families..
This was quite an exciting and new experience for Mokriwon, who had only ever been to Sega's main building before..
“Stop, who are you?.”
A voice came from beyond the fog..
Mo Riwon couldn't help but open his eyes wide at that moment..
‘This fog was real!’
Considering that even people at such a close distance did not notice, it is likely that the entire Sega manor was surrounded by a moody fog..
Mokriwon looked at the person walking out through the slowly opening entrance..
Eventually, I burst into laughter..
“It's been a while. total military.”
“Total military... hmm? Mukryong Daehyup?”
He is a descendant of the Zhuge family, who held the position of general military officer in the Murim Alliance seven years ago..
It was Zhuge Wuyeon..
A face with nasolabial folds, perhaps due to passage of time.
It soon began to take on a surprised appearance..
“How did Daehyup get to this point? Oh, is it Meng’s work??”
As expected, since he is someone who has been in the Murim Alliance, he knows right away..
Mok Ri-won smiled shyly and said,.
“I'm here on vacation. I can't deny that I have some business..”
“I understand. No, rather, if you are going to come here, please at least give me a message in advance. I thought something was going to happen when a stranger caught the Jinbeop..”
Zhuge Wuyeon let out a low laugh, as if he had finally taken a breather..
“It would be rude to leave it standing like this. Let's eat inside first..”
“thank you for your hospitality.”
Mo Ri-won grabbed his gun and started walking..

As Zhuge family entered, it was quiet..
To be precise, should we say that both the users and the unmanned people coming and going are trying to create a sense of tranquility?.
Mok Ri-won was puzzled by this and was looking around in a daze..
“It's a little too quiet.”
Zhuge Wuyeon opened his mouth insinuatingly..
“The situation at Sega is a bit like that right now. Have you ever heard anything about our family from San??”
“If it's work….”
“It's about San-i and his ex-wife..”
Oh, was that what you were talking about?.
Mo Liwon nodded..
“I heard it in Cheonghae.”
“Did you hear what happened after that??”
Did they oust the stepmother and all related family members?.
Mok Ri-won nodded, remembering hearing about this as well..
A hint of bitterness appeared on Zhuge Wuyan’s mouth..
“It was a sea of blood. Since most of her nearby nobles were related to her, her ousting process had to cost quite a bit. In the process, she showed San-i's harsh side a lot. Even the head of the Taesang family didn’t bother to stop Sani like that..”
“…I did?”
“Yes, that's why the people in the family are quite scared of San-i. If I go out of sight, I won't be cut off like I was 7 years ago... Living in such fear.”
I didn't know.
Jegalsan, whom we met again in the Murim Alliance, looked exactly as Mo Riwon knew..
I can still clearly see his slightly playful, cheerful, and affectionate side..
Even when he saw it with his own eyes, Mok Ri-won could not believe that he was actually living in this kind of atmosphere..
I quickly look around..
Curious eyes bloom and fall again from all over the place..
It seemed like he was watching Zhuge Wuyeon’s eyes..
Mok Ri-won looked at their gazes and asked..
“I heard that your brother Zhuge went into hiding..”
“I should say I'm staying away, but I'm ignoring all external schedules..”
“Can we meet??”
“I will try to contact you first. I don't get to see your face often either..”
“Umm….”
“For now, this way.”
Zhuge Wuyan pointed to a place..
At that moment, Mokriwon held his breath without realizing it..
“This place….”
It was a space filled with so much energy that it took my breath away..
Is it correct to say it is a repulsive force? It was a small outbuilding, and the closer I got to that space, the more I felt like my aerial power was being suppressed..
It's definitely a straight line.
“This is where Taesanggaju stays. As you know, you have been feeling unwell since the war seven years ago..”
“…I guess so.”
What is the strategy to protect him?.
Mo Ri-won thought of a situation where he would break through this formation..
‘It must be difficult to sneak away..’
To break through there, you had to be prepared to fight against the entire Zhuge family..
It was that strict..
It is quite suitable as a strategy to protect the Jinwang Zhuge Wall..
Such thoughts filled Mok Riwon’s mind..
“First of all, let’s say hello. I will tell Sani and come back..”
“…I understand.”
Zhuge Wuyan left.
Mokriwon took a moment to catch his breath and entered the annex..
Wow!!
At that moment, the spreading energy waves and the sound of the bell.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrr.―
Dozens of clear bells chimed simultaneously, awakening the silence of the space..
“who is?”
A voice was heard from inside the annex..
The tone was a bit blunt and languid..
Mo Liwon took the gun and said:.
“Meet King Jin. It is said to be Mokriwon of the Murim League Yongbongdan..”
It would be better to reveal your affiliation..
After answering and standing still for a moment, the door to the annex opened with a rattling sound..
Beyond that, the man's seal was revealed..
“Well, are you here?.”
Jinwang Zhuge Wall.
This is the man called that..
His body is quite thin and he cannot move on his own, so he lies down on a chair with wheels..
I couldn't feel any energy except for the innate energy, and my health didn't seem to be that good either..
However, there is one characteristic that stands out, and that is that the complexion looks truly peaceful..
7It was a change that was quite noticeable to Mokriwon, who remember him from a year ago..
“I knew someone from China would come, but I didn't know it would be you. Please come in.”
Shi Fei dragged Zhuge Byeok’s chair..
Mok Riwon followed him inside..
Looking inside the outbuilding, the road is flat. It was visible at a glance that all obstacles had been removed to exclude elements that would hinder the movement of Zhuge Wall, and everywhere the city and the city could be seen quietly carrying out their tasks..
They will be the ones who help Zhuge Bai live..
“I heard the news. Congratulations on winning the Blue Dragon Secretariat..”
“Oh, thank you!”
I looked up and he was smiling..
This was also a surprising change in facial expression for Mok Riwon..
Is it because his relationship with Zhuge Shan has improved, or is it because he has let go of the burden he was carrying?.
Although it lost its martial arts skills, it was quite fortunate that it looked happier than before..
When Mo Liwon suddenly looked at him, a question came to mind, so he parted his lips..
“Oh, can you get in touch with Geolwang? When I came out after closing, I was told that he had disappeared.….”
I heard that he went to meet the previous Murim lord, Sa Baek-un, but I haven't heard any more news than that, so this was a question I asked..
Still, isn’t Zhuge Byeok also an acquaintance of Mile Seok?.
I was excited to see if there would be any clues, but unfortunately, it was quickly dashed..
“I'm not sure. I saw your face before you left, but I didn't hear your destination..”
Is that so too?.
Bitterness appeared on Mo Liwon’s lips..
I am a person who is strong in martial arts and originally from the open world, so I am a person who will not starve to death, but I was worried for no reason..
‘Where are you going without any news?.’
Mokriwon, who was expressing his sorrow, quickly calmed down..
Then I went to the place he guided me to and sat down..
Sibi brought out the tea and the scent was quite nice..
It was only then that Zhuge Byeok began to hint..
“Is it true that the purpose of the whole thing is related to San-i?.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Good thing.”
Zhuge Byeo looked at the teacup and continued speaking..
“The kid seemed to be having a lot of trouble recently. But he rarely reveals his true feelings to me. It's only natural. Still, I can't help but be worried..”
Mokriwon quietly listened to the story..
Then I finally separated my lips and asked.
“Isn't it related to insulation?.”
“Do you think so??”
“…I am.”
“also.”
also?
It was a moment of wondering..
“It was you. The celestial nature of blood death.”
Shockingly, Mok Riwon’s body trembled..
My eyes creaked and I looked towards Zhuge Wall..
He blurted it out as if it was no big deal..
“Normally, I don't jump to the conclusion that it's about the stars. Unless you have experienced that atrocity first-hand..”
The first mistake, Zhuge Bai caught it..
And then the second mistake was revealed..
Mok Riwon did not make a mistake..
“7Years ago, I heard about the child of a thousand-year-old. It seemed to King Geol that he had a very close relationship with the child..”
Was it during Cheonghae??
Mo Ri-won already knew that it was Zhuge Byeok who helped him interpret the Yeokseong Great Law..
I felt like I figured something out then..
Thump, thump.
Mokriwon’s heart was pounding..
But was my anxiety unfounded?.
“But why are you surprised? If I was going to fix this, I would have done it 7 years ago..”
Zhuge Byeok chuckled..
In the moment, the strength of his body was completely relieved, and Mok Ri-won thought to himself with a helpless smile on his face..
‘I wondered who Jegal's smiling face looked like..’
Zhuge Byeok’s smile was quite playful..
