Chapter 3: Wolwusamgeom (越吳三劍))
“Let's see, I'm sure it's here……”
Hungma was greedy enough to be compared to Shintu..
Although he wasn't very interested in elixirs or martial arts secrets, he revealed a lot about money and treasures..
Among them, there was also a new soldier..
However, most of the treasures were not recovered by Amcheonhoe..
This evil demon's tomb has already been attacked once..
What's left here is only acceptable..
Most of the treasures inside went to the masters of the Amcheonhoe and became infamous in the era of war..
except for one thing.
found.
There is a sword stuck in the ground in front of me..
The scabbard is not visible..
Yuewu Three Swords (越吳三劍))!
Amcheonhoe wanted the martial powers to fight over the treasures, including Nine Seonggong, in the Tomb of the Demon Demon..
So not only did they plant ganja, but they also left behind treasures that would stimulate their greed..
“fetus (fetus))!”
Gu Yazi, a legendary craftsman who was active in the Yue Dynasty from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period, and Ganzang, a famous craftsman in the Wu Dynasty who was also active at the same time, together served as the king of Chu's name. It is one of the three swords made of.
Ye-han is also Ye-han, but compared to a fetus that is comparable to a divine sword, he stops bleeding prematurely..
It's hard to believe that a sword made in the early Warring States period is still intact and without rust..
However, the power of the fetus was revealed through various warriors of the future, and it was known as the real thing, causing a lot of bloodshed..
“What's left is emergency?.”
Put the fetus in and step on the center carpet again..
As I continued along the road to the end, I came across an altar at the top of the stairs..
I climbed the 99 stairs and stood in front of the altar, where I saw a marble platform and an old book on it..
At first glance, it was an ominous book, no, it was of the worst quality..
The cover of this fairly thick book is made of human skin, and the stain on the front resembles the face of a screaming person, giving me goosebumps..
Although it was unrecognizable, it was written in an ancient text from the Xia Dynasty..
The reason I know that Joo Seo-cheon is an advisor is not because I have any other knowledge, but because of the identity of Nine Success..
The history of the Six Great Geumgongs, also called Nine Seonggongs or Nine Seongjeongbon, is so deep that it can be said to be distant..
This forbidden book, created during the Hanara Dynasty, the first dynasty in the central plains, was originally a collection of magic rather than martial arts..
I don't know who wrote it and I don't know the purpose, but it is said that it described spells that borrow or summon the power of beings from other worlds, such as fairy or demonic spirits..
The original Nain Castle manuscript disappeared with the disappearance of the Xia Dynasty, but was rediscovered after countless years..
The person who discovered it happened to be a scholar with a keen interest in torture, and he continued to study it with great interest in the original Nine Seongs..
As a result, although it was not possible to read it completely due to translation problems, the scholar gained some of the power of the authentic version of Nainseong..
That is a way to borrow power from the residents of the Demon World, and it is martial arts and Nine Success..
“Should I learn it??”
Joo Seocheon was worried about his salary..
“If you are a middle-of-the-road mangong... … No, let's stop..”
That worry didn't last long.
Once acquired, Nine Success immediately changes into a form that all martial people can recognize..
The power of Nine Success is simple.
If you practice this martial art, your physical abilities will increase several times..
Gain strength to lift huge rocks with ease.
And even if you get cut by a sword, you gain the ability to regenerate so that the wound heals in less than a day..
If you are old, you can become young..
never gets old.
It was the power of a monster living in the devil world..
But even for a moment.
A practitioner's body completely changes in less than a month..
No, it's not at the level of change..
It is correct to say that the species itself changes..
Not only does it have strength, but also its appearance from head to toe resembles a monster..
Ultimately, it becomes a monster itself..
Similar to magic, humanity gradually disappears over time..
Without a single exception, practitioners eventually cease to be human..
Even a high priest with high legal power or a magic master who controls demons cannot win..
There are cases where the opposite sex can be maintained for a long time, but it is difficult to go beyond that, about five years at most..
For reference, in the case of the body, every single one of them turned ugly in about a month..
Jungdo Mangong is a martial art that allows you to acquire various martial arts without conflicting bets, but it does not have the all-purpose ability to modify it to suit you..
The evidence was that even the Dark Heavenly Lord did not practice the Nine Successes and used them as bait..
“Let's give up cleanly..”
I thought about completely burning it and getting rid of it, but I thought it might still have some use, so I put it in my arms for now..
Joo Seocheon came down the stairs, picked up the gold and silver treasures that seemed valuable, and headed outside..
There was nothing more to do, and all the engines of the place we passed through had been activated, so it was quick to get out..
However, there is a little difference from before that I moved forward by hitting the wall at certain intervals..
I must have advanced a little bit, but my steps stopped..
“Is this where the nearby water veins are concentrated?.”
The best way to prevent the Seven Swords War from happening is to destroy the Tomb of the Demon Demon, which was the trigger..
But no matter how much Joo Seocheon flies and crawls, he can't do anything about this entire tomb..
Even if the entrance is blocked, if the Seven Flying and Creeping Forces of Wulin come, they can easily tear it down and investigate quickly..
I thought about getting a wall bomb, but at this time it was still a forbidden tool and there was no one handling it..
It's hard to find, and even if you find a craftsman and ask for it, there's no way he'll make it for you..
So I gave up and just came here with the intention of making trouble at Amcheonhoe..
But I didn't think I needed to do that..
“bout!”
With a short burst of energy, I swung my sword..
The sword gently cut the wall..
However, the walls were not thin like an artificially created maze..
The wall in front of you is completely connected to the ground..
I put the sword away for a moment and poked my finger at the long sword mark on the wall, and it was wet..
In response, Ju Seo-cheon took a few steps back, raised his sword, and struck a secret blow..
Jaha Geomgyeol Ilchosik!
‘Jaha Gaebyeok!’
Rumbling!
A thunderbolt struck within the underground tomb..
The sound of a force hitting echoed throughout the tomb through the passage..
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The sword made a roaring noise and spun at high speed, but then it was shot forward..
Kang Ki, who put everything into his thrust, moved forward, leaving a beam of light like a wall of light, pierced through the wall, and disappeared..
breathing stopped for a moment.
And the moment you exhale, the entire tomb shakes violently..
Quad deud deuk!
A pile of rocks fell from the ceiling overhead..
The entire ground, or rather the basement, shook as if an earthquake had occurred..
Kwaang!
The wall exploded with a long roar..
I was able to avoid being caught by falling to the side in advance..
Eventually, the wall collapsed and a large stream of water poured down like a waterfall, hitting the other side..
As if the strength of the water was not normal, the wall on the other side, unable to overcome the water pressure, also broke..
bang! Quang! Kwakwang!
When the center of the water vein broke, it started a chain reaction in many places..
As the entire ground collapsed, the water veins sleeping inside burst and the water came out..
The walls, as well as the ground to the ceiling, were cracked like spider webs and water was dripping out..
When one place collapsed, he lost his balance and spit out water one after another..
Perhaps because the Yellow River is its source, the water was ocher-colored..
It contained a lot of mud and a lot of it that wasn't water..
“Um, okay.”
I was able to smile with satisfaction as I watched the evil demon's tomb being flooded little by little..
* * *
Near the middle of the Yellow River, Shanxi.
The political faction, the evil faction, and the demonic faction gathered from all over..
It was to confirm the reality of the tomb..
Among them, the first to arrive at the rumored tomb was the Xiangshan faction of Shanxi..
Since it's in the same area, it has to be fast..
After wandering along the Yellow River, crossing vomit and muddy water with no visible bottom, I came across the tomb of rumors..
“What the hell is this……”
The highest leader of the Xiangshan Sect, Yeo Hwa-su, stood in front of the tomb and could not hide his blank face, looking devastated..
I didn't expect the tomb to be like this, with the entrance at least intact, under cliffs that cast shadows blocking sunlight..
The stone wall at the entrance has collapsed, so it is no longer possible to enter, and mud is flowing out through it..
Additionally, ocher-colored water is slowly flowing out from the bottom of the tomb..
I had a rough idea of what this meant..
“Is this really right??”
Yeo Hwasu frowned and asked the guide..
“Yes, this is definitely the place. Why should I deceive the great men??”
The guide also couldn't hide his embarrassed expression..
I don't value my life enough to lie to the martial arts people of the Hangsan Sect in exchange for money to guide them..
Yeo Hwa-soo also felt even more complicated when she saw the guide's face and eyes and realized that it was not a lie..
Afterwards, a few days later, investigation teams from various places arrived one after another and showed reactions similar to those of the Hangsan faction..
All political factions, including the Kunlun faction, Taishan faction, Songshan faction, and Nangong family, could only sigh in despair as if they were dumbfounded..
However, with the arrival of Sado-cheon, the atmosphere took an unusual turn..
“The first to arrive were the Xiangshan faction, and the tomb collapsed. Don’t you think even a child would know how things work??”
“If I don't explain in detail what that means, it won't be easy to understand, Sadocheon.!”
Yeo Hwa-soo was angry and scolded..
“Do I really need to say anything??”
The master of Sado Heaven laughed wryly, as if provoking him..
“Hold on. It's not worth dealing with.”
Son Seok-sung, the greatest expert of the Taishan sect, stopped Yeo Hwa-su..
Other political faction members also came forward and calmed Yeo Hwa-soo down..
“Don't you think so too, the devil??”
The master of Sado Heaven asked the demon cultists who were quietly watching..
“Don't talk to my minions. If you need to see something, ask me. Otherwise I'll cut out your tongue.”
One of the demonic cultists who seemed to be the leader at first glance answered in a stern voice..
Murim League, Sadocheon, Demonic Cult.
There is no way things will go well since all three major powers of Murim have gathered in one place..
I was already teeming with life..
The Seven Swords War did not occur in the future for nothing..
It would be even weirder if they didn't fight since they were so anxious and even tried their hand at it..
We did not fight because the Murim Lord, Sado Heavenly Lord, and even the demonic cult leader Heavenly Demon came forward and warned us in advance..
Tomb of the Demon Demon warned the entire martial arts group not to fight each other as they had decided to join forces and develop a common front..
‘What on earth happened here??’
Among the Seven Great Powers, the leader of the hidden Ganja, and one of the seven leaders of the Seven Holy Temples, Yao Guang had doubts..
Yogwang ran to the grave in one step to resolve Cheonki's doubts..
The only drawback was that I didn't come sooner..
When we arrived, the tomb of the Demon Demon had already been submerged..
Jungwon Moorim is a bit noisy..
The rumor about the tomb itself was true..
Tombs could be identified deep along the Yellow River basin..
However, it was questionable whether the tomb really belonged to a demon..
“By the time the investigation team arrived, everything was underwater..”
“so what happened?”
“Well, it looks like they haven't withdrawn yet. If the owner of the tomb is really an evil demon, isn't the matter normal? No matter how uncertain it is, you have no choice but to check just in case..”
Huh, so you're digging up that flooded grave again??”
“It's hopeless, but I guess I'll give it a try. According to rumors, it seems like they are looking for people with expertise in architecture..”
“So does this mean that the investigation team of the Seven Great Powers still remains in the area??”
“yes.”
“My stomach hurts just thinking about it..”
When I imagined that the three major powers, who were not only enemies but enemies, were gathered in one place, I didn't want to go anywhere near it..
“Once again, I realize that the evil demon's name is not ordinary..”
Demon of evil, to be exact, it is the authentic copy of the Nine Saints of the Six Great Geumgongs..
Regardless of the era, when a practitioner of the Nine Successes appears, bloodshed blows in the martial arts world and countless sacrifices are made..
Knowing its power and fear, I worked even harder to stop it..
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Amcheonhoe, which had planned everything, including the evil demon's tomb, was not so good..
In particular, the tomb of the evil demon was not prepared for one or two days..
The amount of money and time put into this is countless..
“I'm sorry!”
Cooung!
Tianqi hit his head on the ground several times..
It was so strong that blood flowed from my forehead every time I hit it..
Blood poured out once, twice, three times and pooled on the ground..
Amcheonhoeju, who was watching the scene, looked down and raised a voice full of majesty..
“stop.”
As soon as those words came out, Tianqi stopped acting..
“report.”
“The Seven Star Soldiers were stationed at the tomb, but regular contact was cut off two days before the investigation team arrived..
Afterwards, he hurriedly sent for Yogwang, but by the time he arrived, it had already collapsed due to submersion, and the deployed Seven Star Soldiers were nowhere to be seen.……”
Cheonki continued and reported the situation..
After Yogwang checked, the anti-midwife arrived shortly after..
“In short, the plan you put so much effort into has failed, and you don't even know why. Cheongi.”
Rumbling
A mix of blood and cold sweat flowed from Cheonki’s forehead..
Those eyes shook as if an earthquake had occurred..
“haha.”
Amcheonhoeju laughed..
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Amcheonhoeju laughed as if it was very amusing..
Cheongi was puzzled by that laughter and did not agree with it..
I just lowered my head and waited for the next words..
“It is said that nothing in this world goes as you wish, and there is nothing wrong with the proverb..
I never expected that things would turn out this way. Above all, this is the first time I have been so thoroughly fooled..”
Amcheonhoeju stopped laughing..
There was still a smile on my lips..
But that smile was as cold as ice.
“It is unlikely that any of my soldiers are dishonest or traitors, so they must have been harmed by someone. He must be the one who caused the tomb to collapse..”
Amcheonhoeju’s eyes shone brightly..
“Cheongi.”
“yes!”
“Find out by any means necessary..
And save him alive and present him before me. It's the only way to keep your life alive..”
“honorary name!”

Hubei).
The room was so full of books that it could be compared to a study room..
There was a tower of books on the table, and there were only well-organized books in every corner of the room..
In addition, there are drawings of something rolling around the room..
In a room filled with paper and the scent of ink, I saw a man with messy hair, as if he had just woken up..
“Whoa whoa.”
When the man put down his brush, stood up and stretched, there was a loud 'clunk' sound..
As soon as the maid, who was waiting outside so as not to disturb him, heard him, she opened the door and called him..
“young master!”
“It's a surprise!”
The man was startled and staggered at the maid's call..
I almost fell.
“Hmm. what's the matter? Something's going on?”
The man opened his mouth wide and yawned long..
The maid glanced at him with blushing cheeks, then looked at his messy hair and sighed as if she couldn't live..
“There is a customer who came to visit you, Mr. Master. And please, please, get your hair in order. what is that?”
“customer?”
The man tilted his head with a strange face..
“Strange, right? You're a loner with no friends, and you're not very capable, so there's no one who can come to you to ask for help.……”
“Who, who doesn't have friends? I have friends!”
The man huffed and became indignant..
“Who are your friends? Name five people, or just three. Please note that the three family members, including me, are an exception.”
“……”
The man could not respond to realistic violence.
“Please don't ignore me, who has been helping you since I was young..
Anyway, I think you should go see him soon. I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like something is going on.?”
“Who is it……”
“He said he was a Taoist from the Hwasan Sect..”
“……!”
The man's eyes widened when he heard the word volcanic wave..
“Volcanic wave? It's a volcanic wave?”
“yes.”
“no way!”
The man ran out with a very excited face..
“Wow!”
The maid was startled and stepped aside..
Then, I was puzzled as I watched him hurriedly run away..
“I've never seen you look so surprised... … Who on earth came to visit??”
Kwaang!
The drawing room door opens roughly..
“It's a surprise.”
Joo Seocheon almost spilled the tea..
“older brother!”
The man looked at Joo Seocheon and smiled brightly..
“It’s been a while, succession… … Yes?”
Joo Seocheon was a little embarrassed..
At the end of the gaze, instead of the boy who looked a bit arrogant before, stood a handsome man..
My hair was frizzy as if I woke up from sleep, but it did not detract from my appearance..
The head is small and the jawline is graceful like a woman's..
The facial features are clear and the skin is white without blemishes..
The eyebrows were thin rather than thick, and the eyelashes were longer than a man's..
If I dressed up well, I felt like I would look like a woman..
Considering his age, it seemed like his beard had just started to grow..
He was too young to be called a young man, but too old to be called a boy..
“Who are you?……”
“Haha, brother. He's also very playful. It's me, Zhuge Succession. My brother's only younger brother, the genius Zhuge Seonggye..”
The Zhuge Dynasty sat facing each other, smiling as if it was fun..
“Ah, it's not strange considering your older brother and sister, but you grew up to be a handsome man too..”
Joo Seocheon lowered his gloomy gaze..
The younger brother I had taken as my sworn brother was so handsome, and when I thought about accompanying him in the future, I became angry at the prospect of what would happen in the future..
“Looking at that face and seeing that you haven't gotten married yet or made any friends, your eccentric personality must still be the same.?
I have all the talent and good looks, but if I were to excel in social relationships, my stomach would hurt so much that I wouldn't be able to stand it..”
Joo Seocheon was depressed for no reason and criticized harshly..
“Chi, I made a lot of friends.!”
Zhuge Heung stuttered..
“Phew.”
Joo Seocheon breathed a sigh of relief..
“Judging from your reaction, you are still alone..”
“No, it exists.!”
“okay? Then name five friends. Please note that household members such as maids and servants are excluded..”
“……”
The gag order was silent..
“It's been five years.”
Joo Seocheon smiled softly..
“See you after five years, brother..”
A person who acknowledges himself to Zhuge Heir is special..
And even more so if it was the only one..
Even the brothers, sisters, maids, and servants who have been with him since childhood do not look kindly on Zhuge Heir's bronchial skills..
It felt good to always be called a genius by a stranger, or rather, now a sworn brother..
“But why are you suddenly using an honorific that doesn’t suit you??”
I was definitely comfortable with words before..
“Brother, aren’t I also an adult now, not the child I was then? I know it's a basic example.”
Zhuge Succession laughed bitterly.
Joo Seo-cheon smiled happily upon seeing Zhuge's succession..
“How have you been??”
“It's the same for me. I just studied in my room.”
“Bronchology?”
Zhuge Emperor shook his head instead of answering..
“How has your brother been? There are a few things I picked up, but I still want to hear them from you..”
“From what I picked up, I have a rough guess... … Tangga?”
“yes.”
If there is anything that is known about his activities recently, it is the betting contest with Dokbong..
Other than that, it was about clearing out bandits..
The story told by Zhuge Succession was as Ju Seo-cheon expected..
There wasn't that much of a rumor in Gangho..
“That's right. After that, I just wandered around. I'll talk about the details later..”
The Zhuge family values information as much as openness..
As a result, I often spy on them..
Even now, there are many people who secretly see or listen to this parlor..
When I concentrated just a little bit, I got a sense of it..
“Come to think of it, Seung-gye, you are sixteen this year.?”
“yes. In just half a year, I will be seventeen..”
“Free in Sega?”
“It was a fate that could have led me to the tomb of an evil demon, but somehow I managed to avoid it. It was a pity.”
Zhuge Dynasty was truly saddened..
Whenever I am involved in an organization, my eyes still shine like stars..
“As you know, I am a genius, but I don't have many opportunities to show my talent. So I have no choice but to study at Sega. I'm sure it's because I have late-permanent plastic surgery... … clearly……”
Zhuge Succession spoke to himself and then lost his voice..
‘This personality is still the same.’
Joo Seocheon laughed bitterly inwardly..
Although he is full of interest and pride in bronchology, his other personality is quite different..
“What use would I have if I didn’t know how to fight or how to use martial arts? … I know very well……”
This negative personality remains the same even when you grow up..
Afterwards, the Zhuge Dynasty grumbled and resolved the past events as if complaining..
He was still complaining about being ignored by Sega or hearing harsh comments from the central office..
Still, it is said that he was not stopped from studying and researching bronchial techniques, saying that thanks to the work of the Three Eyes Shintu, there might come a situation where he would be useful..
I usually alternate between studying and researching and writing books on bronchology..
“It's succession.”
Joo Seo-cheon patted Zhuge Succession on the shoulder and grinned..
“Studying is good, but staying in your room makes you sick. And now that you have become an adult, isn't it time for you to join the gang??”
My eyes widened when I heard that Zhuge Succession was a strong man..
“Brother, did you come to visit me?……”
“okay. i need your strength.”
The Zhuge Succession, not anyone else!
