Chapter 9: One wave, one thousand waves)

I tried to treat it with internal medicine, but there was no way..

The martial arts skills of the Three Eyes Shintu were so strong that it was of no use..

In addition, the internal injuries were quite severe, probably due to being hit head-on..

Joo Seo-cheon took medicine for internal injuries and also took herbal medicine..

I couldn't use the elixir I got at first because I was anxious because I didn't know what it was, so I used a summoning group that was sure to be effective..

Ju Seo-cheon was envied by warriors and worked hard to heal his internal injuries by drinking fortune-telling breakfast..

When I opened my eyes, it was said that about two or three days had passed..

Strength did not increase much.

While suffering from internal injuries, he performed the greatest herbivory called Jahagaebyeok, and his energy, blood, and danjeon became tattered..

The internal organs were also quite damaged..

I used all of the summoning group's stamina to heal it..

It's a waste, but not worse than life..

‘First of all, it's not like something happened..’

When I went to the fortune-telling breakfast, I was honestly worried about the samurai..

I was afraid that they might be blinded by wealth and betray me..

But fortunately there was no one..

It is said that rather than betraying them, everyone took turns protecting them..

“Thank you.”

Joo Seocheon honestly thanked them..

“What is there to be thankful for??

Anyway, he would have taken the elixir without us..

And since there was no danger, he would have survived on his own even if he had been alone..”

Choryeong smiled and said as if it was no big deal..

“I just woke up and I'm not sure, can someone please explain the situation to me??”

“As soon as that jiangshi fell, the altar disappeared and a tombstone appeared..”

Wang Il pointed to the monument on the stairs..

“I didn't go there because I didn't know what might happen..”

Zhuge Succession said.

“Okay, then let's go and get what we worked hard for..”

Joo Seocheon got up and walked away..

The body of the Three Eyed Goddess, whose head was missing, was kicked with emotion..

“Hehehe”

I laughed when I saw the sentences and letters engraved on the tombstone..

“found!”

Ilwol Shrine, there is more to look for than Jungdo Mangong..

I didn't know anything else, but I had to get what was in front of me..

“Ghost God Skills)!”

The martial artist who tormented him so much!

Footsteps without a sound or presence!

The identity of that mysterious movement was the ghost magic..

Joo Seocheon read the words engraved on the tombstone..

Heaven is knowledge

Earth is power

People are people

If you have heaven and earth, you have acquired two eyes.

Find the human Three Eyes and steal the world..

It was the will of the Saman Shintu..

Below that, his life and the results of his ghost training were recorded..

Ju Seo-cheon memorized all the formulas of the Ghost Spiritual Art and then opened the black chest underneath it..

Inside was a book..

Prajna skill)

Joo Seocheon checked the title and quickly put it in his arms before anyone could see it..

It was an emergency that had such a large impact..

A world-class martial arts technique that was lost hundreds of years ago due to the Shaolin Temple's Shingungjeolhak and is now only passed down as a legend.!

The Prajna Goddess did not disappear..

It was owned by Saman Shintu..

Joo Seocheon also put a black box in his luggage..

With this, I recovered everything important..

“Are you leaving now??”

Wang Il asked.

The voice was somehow excited..

“exactly.”

“Hurray!”

“hurray!”

As soon as the answer was given, the warriors cheered..

But the voice wasn't that loud.

Among the traps, there was one that activated when your voice was loud..

What I gained from Vigo's experience was mad caution..

“please wait a moment.”

Joo Seocheon smashed the monument with Jahagaebyeok..

And then he collected the wreckage and dumped it into Zahagaebyeok once again..

Then, after scattering it evenly around the area so that it could not be recognized, the headless body of the Jiangshi was draped over his shoulder..

“I'll throw this away as I go. let's go.”

And just like that, the tiresome asceticism came to an end..

* * *

Getting back to Vigo wasn't that difficult..

The corpse of the Three-Eyed God was left in a thorn trap along the way..

There was still treasure that could be retrieved that wasn't a trap, but there was so much of it that I had no choice but to leave it behind..

The group went out to the crag and walked non-stop..

Although I was tired, my steps were light at the thought of returning..

A few days later, when I arrived at a nearby village, waiting for me was a gold suit..

Before leaving, as I said, Lee Uichae had someone waiting in a nearby village..

“Tell the merchant that everything is over..”

“yes!”

The contact person at the Geumui Sangdan responded immediately..

Joo Seo-cheon confirmed this and tried to go on his way, but his contact stopped him..

“The Lord of the Sangsan is nearby with his escort warrior corps. I asked them to tell me it would arrive in a day or so..”

“What about Ong An and why is it nearby??”

“That one is perfect now. It's enough for the top lord to just give orders from other regions..”

“Hey, as expected, his skills are good..”

He wasn't the future king for nothing..

As my contact said, I spent the night in the village..

Around lunch time, Lee Ui-chae appeared, leading the group..

“Oh my, Daehyeop!”

“It’s been a while, Sang-San Joo..”

Joo Seocheon looked at Lee Uichae and waved his hand..

Lee Uichae's gaze turned to the bundles of luggage belonging to warriors such as Ju Seo-cheon and Wang Il..

It was so blatant that I could tell what the intention was to the point of making me laugh bitterly..

“How difficult has it been so far? Whenever I think of the hardships Daehyeop went through, Lee Uichae's tears fill my eyes. Ugh.

Come on, get on board. I have prepared a four-horse chariot for the Grand Council. This carriage is only for Daehyup.!”

Lee Uichae wiped the water droplets from his eyes with his sleeve..

“I just saw you put your finger in the water bucket.……”

“Come on, don't act like this and get on quickly. If this continues, Daehyup’s legs will be broken.!”

Lee Ui-chae made a fuss and put Joo Seo-cheon in the carriage..

The carriage looked quite neat and comfortable..

When we actually set off, the ride was quite good..

More than fifty warriors escorted the carriage..

Most of them seemed to be second-class to first-class..

For your information, all of the luggage was recovered and placed in the carriage..

Thanks to this, the space that could accommodate eight people was filled with bundles instead of people..

Even though I tried to put it somewhere else, I couldn't help it because the things inside were so unusual..

“I am… … No, isn't Confucius injured anywhere??”

Yi Ui-chae tried to call Zhuge Heir by his name, but realized that there were many listening ears around him, so he belatedly used a pseudonym..

“Please, let’s look into each other’s eyes and talk..”

Zhuge Succession looked at Yi Yi-chae, who was blinded by treasure, as if he were fed up..

“check it out.”

Joo Seocheon shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn’t stop him..

Then Lee Uichae moved like lightning, opened the bundle slightly, and put only his head in..

“Seup~ha. Seup~ha. Hehehe……”

Lee Ui-chae did something that offended him as a person in many ways..

I put my head down on the bag, took a deep breath, and laughed..

“Following Daehyup was the right choice! Hehehe!”

It was a voice that was far from human..

It was to the point where I doubted whether he had practiced magic..

“Sniff, it smells spicy. After all, money is medicine!”

“That's the smell of elixir.”

Joo Seo-cheon gave a straight face..

“Now, let's calm down and talk about what to do next..”

Joo Seo-cheon tapped Lee Ui-chae's shoe with his toe..

He took the head out of the bag and savored it regretfully..

“How long has it been since we left for Vigo??”

“It's been a little over a month.”

It was the expected time.

“Did anything happen??”

“There is a degree to which an expert died fighting someone..”

It was really uneventful.

It's a common thing in Gangho's martial arts world..

The same was true for the power struggle between the political faction, the Sa faction, and the Madoise faction..

Nothing changed.

Huashan Sect, Zhuge Dynasty still couldn't do anything about Shulin Gucai..

“Oh, and I made a home in Guiyang. I plan to use it as my residence for the time being..”

Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou..

As it is influenced by the government, neither the political faction nor the Sa faction can do anything about this place..

“That's awesome.”

Joo Seo-cheon praised Lee Ui-chae with pure admiration..

It was not an easy task for this number of escort warriors or to set up residence in Chengdu within such a short period of time..

“Oh my, that Daehyeop… … I have something I'm curious about, so can I ask you a question??”

Lee Uichae looked at him while rubbing her palms..

“Distribution of treasure?”

Joo Seocheon asked back with an expected look on his face..

“You are indeed a great group! How can I do this without even saying it?……”

“Let's do it in moderation.”

I raised my hand and cut off the long sentence..

“I will tell you bluntly..”

gulp!

Lee Uichae swallowed his saliva while sweating profusely..

My heart was pounding and racing like an angry bull..

‘How much should I give? 3 to do? do this?’

Joo Seo-cheon is young, but he is not a big guy..

If you get too greedy, you might lose your head..

Lee Eui-chae also knew that it was an appropriate line..

“I will leave all this money to the owner of the merchant..”

“……yes?”

For a moment, Lee Uichae doubted his ears, or rather his head..

I wondered if what I wanted had become so intense that I was now distorting what the other person said..

“I can't do much about this anyway. No matter how worldly the Hwasan faction tends to be, they are strict when it comes to greed for wealth..

I don't know if you know, but I am a Taoist monk..”

“……ah!”

Yi Uichae and Zhuge Heungye exclaimed in exclamation..

“And through this incident, I learned that the owner of the merchant is a trustworthy and capable person. So, I would like to invest in the top stocks..”

“invest… … What do you mean??”

“yes. Isn't making money a specialty of merchants?.

Please call this money as capital. Instead, you must listen to my request first and help me..”

Joo Seocheon has already obtained what he truly wants..

Other than this, I didn't really need anything worth money..

If I could make Sang Sang-ju his own with this money, I could give him as much as I wanted..

“The same goes for my brother here. The original distribution of treasures was as follows: Sang-sangju received two, Seung-i received three, and I received five..”

Zhuge's share of succession cannot be ignored..

Without him, there would have been a big problem with Vigo's entry itself..

“I don't mind if you help me study or help me later when I'm in trouble..”

I don't know if it was because Zhuge Emperor was still young, or if it was just his nature, but he had no greed for wealth..

When Joo Seocheon suggested it, he readily accepted..

“what would you do?”

Joo Seocheon held out his hand..

Lee Uichae stared blankly at the hand..

And I looked at Ju Seo-cheon once and the Zhuge succession once..

“Hmm...!”

Something surged deep within my heart..

Lee Uichae surrendered himself to this feeling and bowed..

“Great alliance, Confucius! Feet! let me lick your feet!”

“……”

“……”

Zhou Seocheon and Zhuge Succession were silent..

exile.

“This is the remark location of the Three Eyes Shintu. Spread the word that there is treasure.”

It’s not that I don’t trust warriors like Wang Il and Choryeong..

But I don't trust their injections.

Especially for men, they may not be able to keep a secret when it comes to drinking and sleeping with women..

You can show infinite trust when you're sober, but that changes when you drink alcohol..

There are no eternal secrets anyway..

So I decided to reveal the existence of Vigo like this..

A few days later, a rumor spread in Moorim..

“Hey, did you hear that??”

“You mean the remark of the Three Eyes God? who believes that?”

Remarks of the Three Eyes Shintu!

At first, no one seemed to believe it..

Everyone laughed at me and asked me what nonsense I was talking about..

Although the Three Eyes God Tu existed 300 years ago, its history was so absurd that it was almost treated as a legend..

To rob not only the imperial palace, but also the political faction, the four factions, and the Madouise, it was impossible for even the best person in the world to do that..

“There's a rock climbing area nearby... … I don't think there's anything to do at the moment, I guess I'll have to go and see..”

However, humans have always been curious creatures..

No matter how absurd it may be, someone is willing to check it out..

that's people.

“Hey, I'm talking about the remark of the Three Eyes Shintu.……”

“huh? Is that nonsense popular again??”

“I guess it's not just a rumor..”

Lee Ui-chae spread the rumor to the exact location as Ju Seo-cheon taught him..

Anyone could find it.

And surprisingly, there were quite a few people who visited there..

Some were caught in a trap and died, some were lucky and survived..

When the latter people brought something worth making and became rich, the rumor quickly changed..

Not a legend spread belatedly, but a fact.!

Gaeyang.

Saman Shintu?

Shin Do-gyun frowned..

What he held in his hand was an official document from Anhui..

“Ugh, tsk tsk.”

Shin Do-gyun clicked his tongue as if he didn't like it..

“Even though you already know that this neighborhood is always short of people, are you asking me to investigate Vigo? It's too much, it's too much.”

The northern part of Guizhou is the territory of the faction Wulin..

If you go a little northwest from here, you will find Vigo..

Since it was geographically close, an order was given to investigate..

Shin Do-gyun didn't like it, but he had no choice but to send someone..

And after a while, you start to doubt your ears..

“what? there is? Remarks?”

“yes. I don't know if it's true, but it is said that when I went down to the basement, I found the emblem of the Three Eyes God on the floor..”

“omg!”

Shin Do-gyun reported to headquarters..

“It's real?”

The Murim League elders also looked embarrassed..

All they thought was that the rumor was a trap by Sado Ten or Madou Ise and ordered an investigation team to be dispatched..

But I was confused when they said it was real, let alone a trap..

“What are you doing? Call in the elders who are not present right away.!”

Sadocheon.

“Three Eyes Shintu? The thief from three hundred years ago?”

Apostle Heaven was dumbfounded..

“What about the Murim League and Madoise??”

“Even they don't know. In the case of the Murim Alliance, a large-scale exploration team was recently dispatched..”

“Where does the rumor come from??”

Even though it was unexpected, it was truly unexpected..

It is said that after being quiet, the remark of the Three Eyes God was suddenly discovered..

It's even weirder if you don't doubt it.

“that is… … It has already spread by the time it spread, and it is quite a bit overdue, so it is impossible to track it..”

When the rumor about Vigo spread, everyone laughed and said it was nonsense..

no one thought deeply.

If I had paid even a little attention back then, I might have discovered where it first originated..

But it's already too late.

“Madoise is?”

“It's a trend we're just watching..”

“I guess so.”

The headquarters of the demonic and blood cults is outside the central plains..

To get to Chongqing, you have to invade Jungwon, and then it's war..

Also, they were not short of money thanks to their followers, and their martial arts skills were as destructive and strong as their magic skills..

There was no reason to go to the extreme and visit the Bigo of the Three Eyes..

“Jeoknim eighteen quarters?”

“I'm paying attention because of what happened with the volcano wave and Zhuge Segawa recently..

They also seem to be concerned about the gathering of various political factions and ronin in Chungkyung..”

Even though Chongqing was the territory of the Eighteen Houses of Jeokrim, it was burdensome to think of the warriors who would gather to target Bigo..

It was better for Silinjiuchae not to come out of the Yangtze River anyway, and the only thing that could be mobilized was Greenlinjiuchae..

I was worried that they might take advantage of the weakened military power and be subjugated, so I did not come forward..

“send it.”

The Apostle Heavenly Father has ended his worries..

“Are you okay??”

If you do something wrong, it will be a civil war..

“Prepare to send a letter to the Murim Lord. He's probably waiting for the deal I'll propose by now..”

There are only two forces that can explore Vigo..

Murim League and Sadocheon.

It's obvious what will happen if these two come together..

It would be difficult if a war broke out over this..

As it happens, Chongqing is the area of ​​the eighteen houses of Jeokrim..

In a way, it is neutral and creates conditions for agreement..

“It might be a little annoying, but if Vigo is real, we can't just hand him over to the political faction. Take care of it.”

“honorary name……”

People gathered in Chongqing.

It wasn't just unmanned.

Grave robbers seeking to make a quick fortune also gathered..

The Murim League and Sadocheon signed an agreement..

The message was that there would be no fighting until Vigo's exploration was over..

Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished..

As the political and political factions began to move in earnest, the rumors about Vigo actually became true..

Those seeking to make a quick fortune from each region flocked to Chongqing..

As many people gathered, so did merchants..

Suddenly, the rock climbing area, which had no one at all, has now become one of the most crowded places in Jungwon..

All the nearby villages were a huge hit..

For reference, Lee Uichae anticipated this phenomenon and set up his guesthouse in advance..

Jeongpain, Sapain, Ronin, merchant, spectator.

People of all ages and genders gathered together..

There were really a lot.

“Brother, why can’t I go back to Sega??”

Zhuge Succession asked.

“The exploration has just begun. If you show up there, Zhuge family will be wide-eyed and take you away.?”

“I'll be quiet.”

Zhuge succession has clearly shown that he does not like it..

“It won't take long, so just digest what you ate..”

Zhou Seocheon gave the elixir to Zhuge Emperor..

There were as many as two summons..

Converted into 40 years worth of effort..

Zhuge Emperor took only one dose and trained diligently by eating fortune energy..

And as promised, I decided to treat Joo Seocheon as my older brother..

Maybe it was because Joo Seo-cheon had already done something(?), but there was no particular resistance to it..

I haven't lived much, but I've never had anyone take me so seriously in my life..

Even Zhuge Sang, who treated him well in his own way, advised him to abandon what he had been doing and pursue other studies..

But Joo Seocheon was different..

Said not to stop, not to give up, to keep going.

I was very moved by that..

“The maze is extremely complicated, and there are so many traps that you'll get tired of them, so it'll take some time to clear them..”

Joo Seocheon and his group were really fast..

They didn't take Zhuge Heir for nothing..

I disarmed all but a few inevitable traps and advanced without getting caught..

I got out of the maze too.

but not others.

It was clear that it would take at least two to three months for everyone, regardless of whether it was the political faction or the non-partisan faction..

“But don't worry, I'm not going back after it's all over..

Now, I've said everything I want to say to the merchant, so let's leave quickly..”

Even though Guiyang was the territory of the government, it did not mean that the Murim people could not come at all..

You can't make a fuss, but you can come and go freely..

Some of them may recognize themselves.

I had to leave as soon as possible.

“Well then, I wish you both good luck. If you need any help, please contact us anytime.”

Lee Uichae saw me off..

“Top note. Before I leave, I have something to tell you..”

Joo Seocheon took out two books from his arms..

The high level obtained from Vigo was a quick sword technique and a flurry of action..

“This……?”

“If the ten people who were with me, including Wang Il, are trustworthy and you plan to keep them by my side, please pass this on to them..

It would be best not to keep a copy. It's at least a first-class martial arts skill..”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“See you next time then.”

Ju Seo-cheon entrusted everything to Lee Uichae except for the major books such as Prajna God, Ilwol Shrine, and Ghost God..

If this leaks near Lee Uichae, it will be more troublesome than you can imagine..

This was especially true for Prajna Shin-gong..

Maybe it could have been an achievement of the Shaolin Temple..

So I was thinking of hiding it somewhere else..

The two left Guizhou and arrived in Hunan..

And I went into seclusion for a while in Honam to find a deserted mountain..

For about a month, Zhou Seo-tian and Zhuge Sheng-gye devoted themselves to martial arts training..

Zhou Seocheon mainly helped Zhuge succeed to the throne..

“Why should I say this?……”

Joo Seocheon let out a sigh..

“Seunggye, you are really bad at martial arts..”

“If your skills increase, you are said to be a master! You liar.!”

Zhuge Emperor was furious and got angry..

Zhuge Succession absorbed all two summons with the help of Zhou Seocheon..

Thanks to that, I gained 40 years of experience..

“That's half true. As proof of that, your physical abilities have increased beyond recognition, and your level has also risen slightly..”

Internal energy is the source of strength.

As the amount of power increases, strength, speed, reflexes, etc. increase..

The level of martial arts itself has risen from third-rate to second-rate..

However, this was purely due to the power of internal energy..

However, on the other hand, if you use all of your underwater energy, everything else is so poor that you are no different from an ordinary person..

Originally, the Zhuge family's bloodline itself did not have much connection to martial arts..

The Zhuge succession was especially like this..

Not only was there no interest in martial arts itself, but there was also a lack of understanding and no effort, so it was natural that he would not improve..

Joo Seocheon pointed out that point..

“Originally, you should have taken the Summoning Order and become an expert, but you didn't work hard, so it's your fault..”

“Last time, I said that if you just take the elixir, you will become an expert.……”

“There is nothing worse than blaming others for your shortcomings. Seung-Gye will not be that kind of person. yes?”

“of course ! I'm not that kind of person!”

Zhuge succession has passed.

“okay? Then whose fault is it for not being a master??”

“It's because I neglected my martial arts studies.!”

“yes!”

Joo Seocheon clapped his hands and liked it..

For some reason, it seemed like a mockery..

“Hmm, I feel like I was tricked.……”

“It's my mood.”

That's how their joint life began..

For nearly a month, I practiced martial arts diligently and occasionally helped Zhuge Succession with his martial arts..

‘Jaha Gong is a four star, Jaha Geomgyeol has just begun. Still slow. No, I should say fast..’

Jahashingong is the only new ball since the opening of the faction..

If it's easy to learn, it's even weirder.

Even with the enlightenment of Hwagyeong, the martial arts themselves were so difficult that it took some time to learn them compared to other martial arts..

Of course, this was also quite fast from a general perspective..

‘There is no need to be impatient.’

It wasn't as urgent as before, there wasn't enough time, and there was no need to worry about getting caught..

It is impossible to know whether or not a person is practicing unless he or she is about to reach great heights..
