Chapter 9
In the central part of the North Sea, there is a lake connected to the river and the sea..
It was so big that you could see why it was called an inland sea..
Also, it was surprising that the lakes and rivers did not freeze even though the weather was this cold..
“The river connected to the inland sea is strong and does not freeze easily, but the 'non-freezing river' that flows from the northernmost part of the country is warm because it is a hot spring, so it is not as cold as you might think..
In summer, people flock to this river to catch fish and play in the water throughout the season..”
Hawar kindly answered Joo Seocheon’s questions..
In addition, he gave me various knowledge about the North Sea, and thanks to that, I wasn't bored for about a week..
Arriving at the North Sea, the group could not hide their exclamation when they saw the palace they had only heard about through rumors..
“Wow……”
“oh……”
Nak So-wol and Joo Seo-cheon looked at the spectacle in front of them..
On a land of extreme cold, with the lake, or rather the North Sea, at its back, there was a palace of great majesty..
However, it was not made of ice as the saying goes, but was made of marble as white as snow..
However, since it was covered in snow and was so white, I thought that if the sunlight reflected on it, you could mistake it for transparent ice..
If there was one thing that was disappointing, it was that I couldn't see the overall picture..
It was hard to see because it was obscured by a snowstorm..
However, perhaps because the view was obscured, it had a mysterious feel to it that made it feel like I was in another world..
Ju Seo-cheon, Nak So-wol, and the major followed Hawar's guidance and opened the door and went inside..
The interior of the ice palace was also unique..
Looking at the exterior, it had an exotic feel rather than a midfielder..
However, it wasn't long before I could see the inside of the palace, and I had to stop after feeling the stinging gaze..
“I'm not in a good mood..”
“Everyone is in a sensitive state as food quotas have been reduced some time ago..
Also, it has been several decades since the Jungwon people visited Binggung.……”
“It's a border. Do you understand……”
Joo Seo-cheon kept his mouth shut instead of speaking..
‘smell of blood?’
A slight scent of blood pierced the tip of my nose..
Since he was a martial arts expert and an absolute expert with physical abilities that exceeded human limits, he had no choice but to be sensitive..
I glanced around, but all I saw were women looking warily at outsiders..
The major, who usually covers his eyes and has developed five senses, must have noticed, as the sleeves of his winter clothing were shaking..
Ju Seocheon ordered the leader to wait for now with a wink, then composed himself..
‘there is something.’
Something that is not smooth either.
Beihai has an unusually large number of beautiful women..
Its beauty is so famous that it is known not only in the central region but also beyond..
Among them, the best is by far the owner of Binggung, who has been famous for several decades..
“Nice to meet you. This woman is the owner of the ice palace, Naengakbi..”
Joo Seocheon was amazed when he saw Naengakbi’s face..
The delicate features on the snow-white skin were as perfect as if created by an ancient god, and the hair that slightly exposed the forehead was parted on both sides and poured down like a waterfall, and its color was blue-white like a glacier..
Under the eyelashes that seemed to pile up when snow fell, they were deep and clean like the North Sea, but no emotions were visible..
Rather than feeling a sense of mystery where I couldn't figure out what was inside, I was frozen as if I was cut off from the world and couldn't even approach it..
Also, if there was something that stood out, it was the clothing..
Even though they were North Sea people, Hawar and others wore winter clothing made of fur and leather, but she was wearing a white coat..
It's surprising, but it's not surprising..
It was even more strange that the master of Hyeon-gyeong, and the absolute best of Ice Han-gong, felt the cold..
‘Younger than you think.’
Looking at his appearance, he was estimated to be in his late twenties or early thirties, but of course that couldn't be his true age..
‘Beihai Palace Lord, cold and evil rain……’
The leader and leader of the Beihai Wulin, Beihae Gungju is a strong man who has been named as an absolute master and heavenly horse for generations..
The cold rain was the same too..
‘From what I heard, the minimum age of Naengakbi would be an old woman over sixty... … Even if you don't age well once you become an absolute master, you are still too young..
Is it a special case like Kwon Dong-je??’
Joo Seocheon answered the greeting while thinking about various things in his head..
“It is an honor to meet Sangcheon of the North Sea..
This is Ju Seo-cheon, the Four Great Disciples of the Hwasan Sect and the Sixth Chair of the Supreme Heaven..”
“Show an example in front of the palace lord..”
The princess did not come to see Ju Seo-cheon alone..
It was a formal occasion where one was called to the palace's throne room..
Several old women assisting Naengakbi frowned as if they did not like Joo Seo-cheon's attitude..
“done.”
The cold and evil rain raised its long, white fingers to stop it..
“When it comes to the sword spirit and the six thrones of heaven, she is an expert on par with this woman, so it doesn't make sense for her to treat me poorly..”
Those who did not like Joo Seo-cheon bowed down..
Looking at their attitudes, I could see the extent of the palace owner's authority within the palace..
“Sword God, I thank you for accepting my help..”
“It's a transaction to get what both sides want, so there's nothing to be thankful for..”
Joo Seocheon made sure to work in preparation for anxiety..
If there was something strange, I planned to go back without looking back..
“There is no need to worry. If the Dharma Treasure is destroyed, she will personally lead the elites of the Ice Palace and fight the Dark Heavenly Society..”
“i get it. Then immediately destroy the law.……”
“That is, if we defeat the tribes in the North Sea surrounding Beopbo..”
Joo Seocheon closed his mouth and then opened it..
“The deal is over, Beihai Palace Lord..”
The face was distorted without being able to see it..
Because the North Sea was far away, Joo Seocheon came here after much worry..
And Zhuge Sang warned that the longer it takes, the more the situation will change, so if it seems like it will take too long, just come back..
It's a shame that I've come so far back, but it was inevitable..
If they were to stop them, they planned to turn against the North Sea and return, even if it meant using force..
So I sent a glance to Nak So-wol and the major so that they could draw their weapons at any time..
one moment.
“In the past, martial artists flowed in while invading the central plains..”
Joo Seocheon’s steps stopped..
“Besides that, aren’t you interested in various treasures??”
Lord of the Beihai Palace, the ice-cold eyes of the cold and evil rain shined..
‘got hit……’
The moment Joo Seo-cheon heard Naengakbi’s words, he felt like it was a mistake..
I automatically understood what the Lord of the Beihai Palace intended..
“It's not a bad story at all.”
There was no change in the expression of cold and evil rain..
There was no smile of conversion or earnestness to save the North Sea from crisis..
It was as cold as ice.
‘Is he really the leader of the North Sea?.’
Joo Seocheon sighed inwardly and turned around again..
“I will listen to the story. However, keep in mind that if you hide something, it will be returned immediately, as is the rule of etiquette..”
“Of course. I swear on the name of the Lord of the North Sea.”
The cold rain shook its head..
Her hair flowing down as she moved further added to her mystique..
“As you saw during your visit, the North Sea is suffering from famine due to the abnormal climate..
Not only the flowers and plants that had adapted to the cold and bloomed brilliantly, but even the vast, endless inland sea was frozen..”
It was already a barren land..
As the cold continued for several years, nothing could grow on the land..
Even special plants that boast strong vitality could not survive this climate change..
A white messenger landed in the North Sea.
It was filled with fear, not the greatness of nature..
It was truly a disaster.
“As the rivers froze, it became impossible to catch not only fish, but also clams and seaweed, and as large and small animals that depend on fish as their staple food starved, people also had nothing to eat..
This disaster began with the perennial ice crystal..”
“Perennial ice well? Permanent ice formation from legends?”
Joo Seocheon raised his voice as if he was surprised..
“perennial ice well ……?”
Nak So-wol tilted his head as if he didn't know much..
“It is a treasure created by the great nature of the North Sea..”
Naengakbi kindly explained for Nak So-wol..
“Do you know about ice crystals??”
Nak So-wol was momentarily taken aback when Kang Ho's great senior and Sangcheon Yujwa asked him directly, but he answered clearly and without stuttering..
“Ah, yes. Cold energy... … So, I understand that the essence of Yin Han Jin-gi gathered together and hardened like ice..”
“Yes. If an ordinary person or a warrior takes an ice crystal, their soul will be frozen on the spot, but for someone who practices dark martial arts such as the ice crystal like the people of the North Sea, it is more valuable than any other treasure..”
“And, when the ice crystals absorb the energy of the North Sea over many years, what is created is a perennial ice crystal..”
Joo Seocheon added to the explanation of Naengakbi.
“Do you know well?.”
Naengakbi looked at Joo Seocheon in wonder..
The perennial ice cap is a legend in the North Sea..
It was surprising that a person from Jungwon, with whom I had little contact, knew the details..
‘Because I saw it in the Amcheonhoe encyclopedia..’
Joo Seocheon did not answer but just thought to himself..
Permanent ice wells were also one of the investigation lists of the encyclopedia..
However, due to geography and other complex circumstances, no investigation was conducted..
“If it's that great, isn't it better to take it than to get rid of it??”
Luo Sowol asked curiously..
“That question gave rise to the current situation..”
Naengakbi's beautiful eyebrows narrowed slightly..
“As you can see, perennial ice crystals have enough energy to change the climate just by appearing..
It is not a substance that the human body can handle, but on the contrary, it will absorb the negative energy that a person carries, just as it absorbs the energy of the North Sea..
The problem is that some tribes in the North Sea don't think so..”
The value of ordinary ice crystals cannot be converted into money, but it goes without saying that permanent ice crystals were worth it..
Even though I knew it was poison, I couldn't give up the desire..
‘The thought of ‘what if’ lit a fire in my frozen heart..
“Is that really what you meant?.”
I understood that the tribes of the North Sea were surrounding Beopbo..
That means we are in a civil war..
It was a truly troubling problem for the North Sea Ice Palace..
The perennial ice crystals had to be dealt with as quickly as possible, but it was not easy due to the greedy tribes of the North Sea..
Part of me wanted to take him down right away, but it wasn't easy as the Beihai martial arts world was full of strong people..
“Swordsman, this palace also wants to resolve this issue as soon as possible..”
In war, there is more to lose than to gain..
If the already limited amount of food were to run out at an accelerated rate, it would be a huge blow to the North Sea Ice Palace..
I was nervous about everything..
“Therefore, we ask for your cooperation with this palace so that we can return the perennial ice crystals to the North Sea..
If you lend me a hand, I will not only help you in the decisive battle with the Dark Heavens Association, but I will also open the Ice Palace's report and give you a reasonable reward..
In addition to the military achievements of the rise, I will also pledge in her name to support the military funds that the Murim Alliance lacks..”
Naengakbi faced Joo Seo-cheon..
Joo Seocheon looked at each other for a while and then sighed..
‘It was a trap that answered the call of the North Sea..’
The cold and evil rain deliberately hid the situation in the North Sea..
‘If I had heard about the situation from the central office, no matter how sweet the offer was, I would have rejected it due to the time burden..’
The situation is no different from a civil war in the North Sea..
Since I don't know when it will end, I would have refused without saying a word out of pressure..
So I deliberately hid the inside story and only showed the outside circumstances..
In fact, I didn't say anything and I didn't really lie, so I didn't even protest..
I don't know whose brain it was, but it was really clever..
“If you want, you can judge after seeing the reward..”
I could feel the composure of the emperor in the tone of the cold rain..
‘Have you prepared something so attractive that you can't resist?.’
Joo Seocheon’s worries did not last long..
I was like a fish that had been baited by an angler without moving..
“make a suggestion……”
After dragging the horse's tail once,……
“I will accept it.”
answered.
‘Phew.’
Instead of the cold rain, I breathed a sigh of relief at the upper level of the ice palace..
It seemed like there were more than one worry I had been having..
“Instead, I will be paid in advance..”
“Does not matter. Since you have free time to dispatch troops, feel free to choose your level in the meantime..”
Even though the negotiation was concluded successfully, Naengakbi’s expression still did not change..
It was like a major..
“However, the martial arts of Bingungung are excluded. Also, keep in mind that there are only three martial arts secrets you can take with you..”
“four volumes.”
“……Even though you are a warrior at the top, you are greedy, Sword God..”
“four volumes.”
“Hmm……”
More than eighty-five of the martial arts warriors of the North Sea learned martial arts of a different nature, but this did not mean that they did not learn martial arts of other qualities..
In particular, it was a martial arts book that was not to be missed even in the North Sea, and was included in the category of martial arts, one of the most important books in the Middle East..
Even if you don't learn it, it can be used instead of money when you're in a hurry, so it was a waste to give it away..
As if he was worried about the cold rain, he turned his gaze to the side and looked to his aide for advice..
“I can't believe it.
This is absurd……”
“Hey, there are three volumes. Three volumes, and that adds treasure to the level of treasure that you can freely choose from the treasury..”
“one more book?”
“Didn’t they say that a Taoist monk has no material desires??”
“They say that Joongwon people are very greedy.…… ”
The aides exchanged opinions with each other with their voices muted..
Of course, even if I lowered my voice, I couldn't avoid the ears of the absolute master..
After some time a decision was made..
“I'm going crazy... … good night! four volumes!”
“good! Byla! four volumes!”
For your information, Byrla was the word for thank you..
North Sea itineraries have increased.
I decided to send a letter to the Murim Alliance to inform them of the situation..
After giving the letter into the hand of the female warrior of the Ice Palace, Ju Seo-cheon followed Naengakbi and headed to the treasury of the North Sea Ice Palace..
While Joo Seocheon was going down the underground stairs, he touched the clear and transparent wall and asked:.
“Is this also marble??”
“no, it's ice.”
The cold, bitter rain responded immediately..
‘It's fascinating.
It's a palace that a man with a bad temper would say he likes when he sees it..’
Ganyaja's face passed by..
I wasn't able to see it because I was busy negotiating with the Beihai Palace lord, but the Beihai Ice Palace was quite an amazing place..
First of all, it wasn't as cold inside as I thought..
On the contrary, it felt warm..
“According to what was handed down from the Joseon Dynasty, it was thanks to a certain mysterious temple located beneath the palace..”
“Ki Moon-jin?”
“This woman also doesn’t know the details. Because it was so old and shook the very foundation of the palace, the true story was not told even to the palace lord..”
“So, what is this ice??”
Thump thump.
I asked, tapping the ice wall with the back of my hand..
It was amazing that the ice inside the ice palace did not melt even though it was warm..
“You are more like an explorer than a warrior..”
“The starting point of all discoveries is curiosity..”
“It's a famous quote from ancient times..”
The spiral staircase also turned into ice at some point..
Unusually, it was as bright as a star-studded night sky..
Even though there was no torch hanging, the view ahead was clear..
After going down for about half an hour, the endless stairs ended and a door made of ice greeted me..
“Meet the palace lord.”
In front of the door, a well-trained North Sea female expert stood as a guard..
As soon as they saw the cold rain, they immediately bowed down..
“I came to pick up a report. open the door.”
At the name of the cold rain, the ice door opened wide..
The inside was also full of structures made of ice..
“There is no limited time, but since she has duties as the head of the palace, I hope that she will make her choice as quickly as possible..”
It is a treasure trove of ice palaces, not anywhere else..
Because it was so important, the Lord of the Beihai Palace had no choice but to personally monitor it..
Above all, Gungju was the only warrior in the North Sea who could deal with a monster as big as a swordsman..
“Note that.”
Joo Seocheon’s eyes sparkled..
‘If this happens, I take what fits the bill..’
It didn't matter whether the palace lord's duties piled up or not..
I planned to read all the emergency documents so as not to regret anything..
The only radius of movement within the report was the bookshelf, and that was where non-critical books were classified..
Naengakbi was monitored nearby so that other information, history, etc. could not be viewed..
Ju Seo-cheon took out a non-class book on the ice bookshelf and read it, not paying attention to the gaze he felt right next to him..
‘There are a lot of them..’
In the past, the North Sea invasion of Central Plains seemed to have been large in scale..
In addition to the martial arts of the government, there were also magic and blood arts..
However, the level was very different..
In addition to the rising martial arts, there were also those that were equivalent to third- or second-rate martial arts..
I wanted to choose based solely on the name, but since the quantity was limited, I checked carefully before choosing..
And as time passed and about one hour passed, Ju Seo-cheon seemed to have decided and showed me four non-class books..
“Is it over??”
“okay.”
“Once again, reversal of decision is not permitted. Please keep in mind that you will not be able to report after this..”
“I get it. Instead, can you give me a private training room for a moment??”
“I won't be able to give it to you, but at most it will take about five days..
You probably know very well that there isn't much room in the main palace.?”
If he had a lot of cold-blooded emotions, he would have furrowed his brow and scolded me..
“I just want to warm up for a bit before going to war, that's enough..”
“If it's something like that, I'll lend it to you as much as I want..”
Joo Seocheon nodded as if he was satisfied with Naengakbi’s answer..
That face was full of anticipation..
‘Okay, I finally fill in what was missing..’
Naengakbi gave Joo Seo-cheon his personal training hall..
Deadline is five days.
Ju Seo-cheon asked for Naksowol's understanding and then began training..
It was to learn martial arts..
The first thing I did as soon as I arrived at the private training center was to sit down and read and memorize the secret..
As my martial arts level increased, my memory also improved, so it didn't take that long to memorize it..
Only then did the actual training begin..
‘Hard-hitting fist).’
The first martial arts class was definitely martial arts..
There is also the Plum Fist of the Hwasan School, but in fact, the Plum Fist is closer to a preparatory exercise to sharpen the basics of martial arts rather than a fighting method..
Depending on the situation, it was disappointing for me to use my hands and feet after throwing away my sword or throwing it away..
‘Adds strength according to the moment of impact.’
Literally translated, hit hard..
The principle of force power is simple..
As the name suggests, it was all about showing strength and power..
At first glance, it looks similar to the way it has been done so far, but it was completely different..
Like the old method, if you inject an ignorant amount of energy and hit it, it will overflow, and in fact, it may leak, which is inefficient..
However, if you use established martial arts such as hard-hitting fists, it is possible to prevent unnecessary over-consumption and produce maximum power thanks to proper luck..
If we were to compare it to a river, the former method was just the entire river, and Ganggyeokwon was the part of the waterfall that falls down..
‘Ilseong (一成) is the use of energy (氣擊).’
After loading the energy to a specific area, hit it and hit it..
It wasn't important because I knew the basics..
However, since it feels different from handling a sword, I did not think that this was an unnecessary process and invested the time..
Thanks to the follow-up, it was only a glimpse. .
‘The next step is to learn how to use strong force in the order of fist, elbow, shoulder, and arm, from reason to reason..’
Fighting is not limited to fists..
Although it is usually known as a bare-handed martial art, there were also ways to use the arms..
‘Is training only half the achievement?.’
Half of the Twelve Stars were the Great Saints, and half of them were Yangseong..
I always think about it, but the limit of half was disappointing..
‘It must also be in harmony with the footing method..’
There was a method of strengthening unity in the Ganggyeokwon, and its name was Jungsobo (重素步)..
It wasn't that difficult to practice small and medium-sized pottery..
It was because there was a part that was consistent with the doctrine of Manjunggeom..
‘We value simplicity instead of flashiness, and walk with a heavy daily routine..’
It was the opposite of the Hwasan faction’s belief in good fortune..
As the name suggests, Sinhaengbaekbyeon is ever-changing, and even just the basic steps can be performed in a hundred ways..
It was a specialized method to respond to any situation..
It was a suitable step for the prosecution of the volcano..
On the other hand, small and medium-sized enterprises were, to put it positively, uncomplicated and concise, and, to put it negatively, had a simple format..
The strides are wide and the movements are large, so it is easy to catch, but in return, it adds power to the strength of the hard-hitting fist..
It was a bit slow, but it was stable and powerful as it carried weight with each step..
It was an appropriate step to combine with Manjunggeom..
As a result, there were three types of footwork alone..
The miracle of change.
Ghost Treasure of Lightness and Swiftness.
A small and medium-sized treasure of heaviness and stability.
It was nice to be able to respond appropriately to each situation..
After solidifying the basics of small and medium-sized infantry, I moved on to the next martial arts class..
After Gwonbeop and Bobeop, was Jangbeop (掌法)..
‘Gongjinjang (共振掌)).’
resonance field!
If the martial people, especially the Safa people, had heard that name, it is certain that their eyes would turn red and they would look greedy..
‘I never would have thought that the funeral of the real Guizhen (鬼震) was in the North Sea..’
Joo Seo-cheon was also surprised to see Gong Jin-jang’s name..
The period of Guijin's activities is not clearly known, but he was a peerless expert of Sado whose name was known for a long time..
And Gui Jin's German martial arts was none other than Gong Jinjang..
According to legend, Guijin's resonance was so powerful that it shook not only people but also the afterlife..
Joo Seo-cheon started to figure out what kind of martial arts he was while recalling Gongjinjang's composition in his head..
‘Yu's martial arts.’
his eyes narrowed.
‘Contact the enemy's body with the palm of your hand..
After that, the opponent's energy system is vibrated and it becomes a mess..’
It was an art of striking the enemy's exterior and damaging its interior, a method of internal heavy lifting..
‘Is it really possible to manipulate energy using Yu’s tricks?.’
Just as rivers have different flows, human bodies also have different flows..
If the flow suddenly changes due to an external attack, the body cannot adapt and problems arise..
Gongjinjang was an external attack method aimed at this point..
‘The principle is similar to the seventy-two swords of Yin Gong or Cheongseong..’
The sound hole produces physical destructive power through air vibration and sound..
The Seventy-Two Blades used the vibration of the sword instead of air..
I was able to see that the common thing here was vibration, a shaking force..
The same goes for Gongjinjang..
The principle was to manipulate the flow using shock waves from the palm of the hand..
Similar but different.
It was different but similar.
“Gongjinjang is a bit tricky..”
It was very easy to use Kanggyeokkwon, small and medium-sized weapons, because there were things that had already been built up, such as the Plum Flower Kwon, the application method of Naegong, and the Manjunggeom..
However, Gongjinjang was not something I was familiar with and I did not know Yu's techniques in detail, so it took some effort..
The speed of achievement was ridiculously fast thanks to the visualization guide, but I still wanted to do it thoroughly..
Perhaps it was fun to learn a new martial art, but Joo Seocheon concentrated on it without even noticing the passage of time..
Five days later.
The door to the private training hall was opened..
“Thank you for your hard work, death penalty.”
When I opened the ice door, I was greeted by Naksowol and the major..
“Thank you for your effort.”
After that, there was Hawar, the guide of the North Sea..
“It would be rude to tell you right away, but I am ready to go and come to meet you..”
“This is something I heard from the palace lord before entering the training hall, so you don’t have to worry about it. Let's go right away.”
Guided by Hawar, we went to see Naengakbi..
“Welcome.”
The Beihai Palace Lord's office was extremely bleak..
There were no decorations to show off the grandeur of the palace owner..
It was filled with only necessary items, as if it reflected her personality..
There was only a desk, a table, and a bookshelf with books on it..
Because the office was large, it looked particularly desolate..
“Since you also don't seem to want to waste time, I'll get straight to the point..”
I had no objection so I shook my head..
“The Permanent Ice Pavilion is located in the Isan Ice Valley, north of the main palace..
The problem is that North Sea powers other than Ice Palace are stationed in all directions, so the journey will not be easy at all..”
My headaches are already starting to hurt..
A difficult journey unfolds before our eyes..
“Is that really why the power of the upper heavens was needed?.”
The Sixth Place of Sangcheon is the pinnacle of martial arts and the weapon of divine power..
The reason Binggung was able to reign as the absolute ruler in the martial arts world of the North Sea was because of the existence of the palace lord Naengakbi, the sixth seat of heaven..
It's too much for just one person, but if it increases to two, there's no answer..
It was an opportunity to push ahead at once..
“There are about 3,000 warriors at Binggung..
About 500 people will remain as guards for the palace, and the 2,500-strong force will be divided into an advance team and a rear team..”
Although it was less than the Murim League, Sado Cheon, or Madou Ise, the average force was high and could not be looked down on..
When I asked later, I was told that if Beihai unified its power, it would be around 10,000 to 15,000..
“The advance team will be composed of about 500 elites, and you will be the co-commander..”
“co-commander?”
Joo Seocheon slightly narrowed his eyebrows..
“I know what you're worried about.
No matter how great a person he is, it is doubtful whether he would listen to the leadership of an outsider, especially a man in a feminist society..
Instead of listening, you might ignore it..”
“I know it well.”
“There is nothing to worry about. This cold land is also Wulin.
This is a martial arts world where strength is the law..”
“That means……”
“If orders are not followed, there is no need to worry even if somewhat rough methods are used..”
“understood.”
“I'll give you a guide, Hawar. That child is the best guide in the North Sea, so he will not get lost..”
* * *
An advance party of about 500 people left Bingung Palace..
Passed over the frozen river and headed north.
“The sky is crazy.”
Whiiing!
A snow storm, or rather a storm of ice and snow, hit the advance force..
It wasn't good from the start.
The weather in the North Sea was so crazy that sudden climate changes were not surprising..
The day before, I prayed that it wouldn't be cold, but it was Amitabha Buddha..
Any expectations I had were betrayed..
Instead of decreasing, the wind grew stronger..
Not only did it become as sharp as a knife, but even ice cubes fell..
The snowdrifts were piled high enough to build a wall, and deep enough to rip my legs, not my ankles..
I didn't know if I was walking on an icy road or on snow-covered ground..
“Ugh……”
“cold.”
It was cold enough to make even North Koreans shiver..
The temperature was that low..
Plants and animals were not wiped out for no reason..
If it wasn't for Han Bing-gong, he would have frozen to death a long time ago..
Firstly, the inner body protected the body from falling, and secondarily, the winter clothing prevented the cold..
Still, I was able to endure it because I am a Northerner who is accustomed to the cold..
If it was a Jungwon man, he would have died long ago..
“It's cool.”
Joo Seo-cheon, a member of the central region, behaved like nothing was wrong..
When the warriors of Bing Palace saw Ju Seo-cheon like that, they sneered at first as if it were absurd..
‘No matter how great he is, isn't he a midfielder who hasn't learned Hanbinggong?.’
‘You're bluffing and saying you're the top of the world..’
‘It only takes a moment to talk like that..’
I thought he was bluffing to protect his pride due to his reputation as a member of the Sixth Place in the High Heavens or the Central Plains..
However, as time passed, those thoughts gradually turned into suspicion and astonishment..
“Is it really not cold at all??”
“no. That can't be possible..”
“What I heard from Hawar is that that midfielder was only wearing one winter coat when he left.?”
“No way……”
Rather than being cold, Joo Seocheon had an expression that asked what was going on..
He looked peaceful as if he was out for a walk in the neighborhood..
Occasionally, when a piece of ice or snow tried to block his vision, he even performed a self-defense technique to bounce it away..
I'm not bluffing, it really wasn't cold at all..
Abnormal weather did not work in the face of cold weather and cold weather..
“There is a cave just one hour away where you can rest..
It's a little early, but the storm is getting stronger and I think I need to take a break..”
According to the advice of Hawar, the guide of the North Sea, Ju Seocheon also gave orders..
“Just endure it for a while! Arrive at a cave to escape the storm!”
A sigh of relief flowed from the mouths of the advance team..
There was an error, so it took a little longer than once, but I was still able to cross the river and step on the ground..
Soon, a cave large enough to accommodate about a thousand people appeared, and we were able to catch our breath inside..
“It's okay to buy it?”
Joo Seo-cheon asked Nak So-wol in a soft voice..
Luo So-wol was worried about his physical condition, as he was blocking the intrusion of cold energy with internal energy, not because he was immune to cold..
“It's a little cold, but it's okay. Thank you for your concern..”
Since Joo Seo-cheon is so exceptional, Nak So-wol's attack power is also not at an ordinary level..
After being confirmed as a candidate, Maehwageomsu receives various supports, including elixirs..
In particular, Nak So-wol, with the help of Ju Seo-cheon, consumed even the inner Dan of Inmyeonjiju and surpassed the level of Maehwa Geomsu..
“If you're having a hard time, let me know anytime..”
