Chapter 245
Episode 245 I will play with blood and wind.
The poison king was silent for a moment..
He blinked and asked.
“Are you asking me to play with you now? And that too with Mabul.?”
“yes.”
The Poison King placed his palm on Geommugeuk's forehead to see if he had a fever..
“This is a side effect of Cheongidan.”
The poison king grabbed my wrist and took my pulse..
“Is it this hard to play all day??”
Geommugeuk stopped the poison king from running away through the back door..
“There is no need to be too burdened. Because I’m with you too..”
“Instead, tell them to go to the training ground and bark again. Why are you doing this??”
“I want to take a day off. I also want to play with the Poison King. Why don't you just hang out with me for a day?.”
Just as the King of Poison was sighing, a merchant ship outside announced the arrival of Mabul..
The Poison King went out with an expression on his face cursing the sword dance..
“A precious person has arrived.”
“How have you been??”
The two people greeted each other politely. Unlike Mabul, who tried to run away because he felt uncomfortable, the Poison King treated Mazone well without losing his dignity, as if he had never done that before..
“Is this your first time at Cheondogrim??”
“Yes. As I came, I saw the scenery everywhere..”
“There are many better places.”
In fact, the Poison King also never visited the Golden Buddha Temple where Ma Buddha was located. Since he was a poison king who liked to stay isolated in the forest, he had no reason to go to the residences of other mazons..
After saying hello, Mabul looked at the sword dance..
“Lee Gongja, you were here..”
He said it as if he didn't know Geommugeuk was here. The acting was pretty good. Even though he clearly knew that the sword dance performance came because of him, he welcomed the performance with the acting..
“also! I think Mabul and I have a connection. Seeing you in places like this.”
“I guess so.”
“Seeing how happy I am, I feel like the time I spent with Mabul recently was not in vain..”
Even with the Poison King next to him, Geommugeuk showed his emotions without hesitation..
“Then the King of Poisons won’t be offended??”
The Poison King intervened and asked:.
“why am i sad?”
“There is no one at our school who does not know the special friendship between the two of you.?”
It meant barking together in the training hall..
The Poison King shook his head while watching the sword dance..
“I've been going through all sorts of things since I met Lee Gongja..”
The sound of the King of Dogs immediately followed by Geommugeuk..
―Now is the biggest big deal.!
Geommugeuk turned his head and pretended not to hear..
After saying hello, King Dok guided Mabul to the guest room of Cheondokmun Gate..
“Now, come up here..”
It was like a cabin, and the atmosphere was very nice as it blended in with the surrounding natural scenery. It was a place I didn't normally use because very few people visited, but the merchant ship always kept it clean..
One person looks abnormally young, and the other person is abnormally small. There was also a sword dance performance, so this place seemed really special..
“You handled your expulsion from school well this time.?”
“Thanks for your concern, I handled it well..”
There was a moment of silence as the conversation ended..
Although he was a man who met a lot of people, even he felt awkward in this situation. Not only did I rarely interact with the Poison King, I really couldn't get used to his young appearance. Of course, if the other person sees you too, it could be so..
The sound of the poison king flew into Geommugeuk..
―I'm already out of breath, so let's play? It would be more fun to fight between life and death..
Fortunately, the atmosphere was refreshed when a merchant ship brought tea..
“Tea tastes good!”
Geommugeuk drank tea comfortably, but Mabul only played with the teacup and did not touch it to his mouth. If his subordinates had enjoyed tea here like a sword dance, they would have issued an unpleasant order. Do you drink the tea served by the poison king? You idiot! Rather die by my hands! That's how the poison king was feared by everyone..
“To be honest, the reason I came to see you today is because of Lee Gongja..”
Mabul glanced at the sword dance and continued speaking..
“I heard that Gongja Lee was here and came to see him. These days, I am immersed in the fun of interacting with scientists and engineers..”
Geommugeuk clearly felt that Mabul was not the same Mabul as before. This time, he showed a new side, like someone who risked everything on his work. Because this kind of openness was not the character of Mabul..
“I'm curious. What does the King of Poison usually talk about when he meets Lee Gongja?.”
Then the poison king said.
“I called you today and had you do some cleaning..”
Mabul was startled by those words. Mabul thought that the Poison King was displeased with his question..
“I guess I said something rude for no reason..”
At that time, Geommugeuk intervened..
“I really cleaned it.”
Geommugeuk spoke to the surprised Mabul as if complaining..
“So, did you think I became friends with the Mazons just because I was talking loudly? I also try very hard.”
If you really cleaned it up, you could see that the statement that sword dance was difficult was not just a lie..
“No matter what, do it anyway.”
He didn't add that he has a body that could become a Heavenly Demon. Because his goal was to make it impossible for him to become the Heavenly Demon..
At those words, there was awkward silence again. In other words, the poison king did what he ordered regardless..
However, the King of Poison did not express any displeasure to Mabul. Because you can replace it with Geommugeuk..
―Did you hear? Those words that make people uncomfortable. But how do you play?
―There is no malice. You know?
―I can't play alone, so how can we play together?.
How could it possibly be like that? These were people who had never played sword dance or horse dance in their lives. That’s why I wanted to spend quality time with them in Geommugeuk. Because it wasn't an opportunity that came often..
―First, let me take you on a tour of Cheondokgrim.?
As soon as the dance performance of the sword dance was over, the Poison King said to Mabul:.
“Since you've been here for a long time, I'll show you around Cheondogrim..”
Mabul was about to say that he would come and see next time, but Geommugeuk got up one step ahead..
“Let's go. It will be fun.”
So the Poison King guided them to Cheondoglim..
Cheondogrim Forest was wide and lush, and after walking to a corner, I came across a wonderful bamboo forest with a walking path..
“Oh, there was a place like this.”
It was a direction I had never been to before. After passing through the bamboo forest, there was a huge tree that must have lived for a thousand years, and behind it was a field with nameless flowers in full bloom..
The three walked slowly, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery..
Mabul, who was reluctant at first, gradually fell in love with the scenery of Cheondogrim. An exclamation like, “It’s good,” came out of his mouth again and again..
“Be careful.”
A colorful snake was flicking its tongue in a tree.
“This is Baekjeomsa (百點蛇). He is so poisonous that even a coriander cannot last a day without a cure..”
Geommugeuk thought that the snake was also named by the Poison King..
Geommugeuk asked about the poisonous plants, insects, and poisonous snakes he saw along the way, and the Poison King excitedly explained..
Mabul thought that Geommugeuk's actions were to appease the King of Poison..
‘I have to admit that I was diligent..’
But that said, Geommugeuk asked all kinds of questions. The Poison King also told him everything he knew and listened to the sword dance very seriously..
At that time, Mabul said something..
“The scientist is very curious..”
“How many times in one's life will one have the opportunity to hear a direct explanation from the King of Poison about something related to poison??”
As for Geommugeuk, I actually remembered everything that the Poison King said as much as possible..
It doesn't matter because you are poisonous and invulnerable, but you never know who might be addicted, right??
Mabul was also nearby and listened to the explanation. He was always teaching, but I learned many things after a long time. It was fun to learn.
After walking for a while, we arrived at a valley where a waterfall was pouring down..
Shoot aaaaa.
They decided to rest here for a while..
“It's hot so I'll go for a swim.”
Geommugeuk took off his top and jumped into the water..
“It's good because you don't get bored when you're with a scientist..”
The Poison King nodded at Mabul’s words. It's a good thing that there is no sword dance at this moment and it's just boring, but it was hard work for the poison king right now..
Just as the Poison King was thinking about whether he should jump into the water too, Mabul brought up something related to his successor..
“I admit that the momentum is leaning toward Lee Gong-ja. So, the Archduke really needs the support of the Poison King..”
Mabul tried to use this opportunity to receive official support for the archduke from the king of Poison..
“Wouldn't it be unknown whether the Archduke would be a better religious leader, or whether the Duke Lee would be a better religious leader??”
Seeing the Poison King nodding, Mabul continued speaking..
“There are times when I feel afraid when I see a scientist. I wonder if Lee Gongja's strange enthusiasm is attracting even the martial arts people..”
Then the poison king, who had been listening, suddenly spoke..
“Why not??”
“There is nothing that cannot be done…….”
“I think you shouldn't be worried about this heat, but rather about not feeling it..”
He was an awkward poison king, but he clearly said what he wanted to say..
On the other hand, Mabul had to feel the embarrassment of having been hit at the head. This is because there was always a feeling of regret that the Archduke had at least a little bit of the excitement of a sword dance performance..
The Poison King looked at the sword dance. Geommugeuk, which was swimming, was screaming as it went under the waterfall. I couldn't tell if it was good or painful..
“I think Yi Gongja is better suited as a Heavenly Demon..”
Mabul was taken aback by the poison king’s words. The poison king chose sword dance..
“Just because you're strong in martial arts or because you're better around horses doesn't mean you'll become a better Heavenly Demon, right??”
“That's not why. I see this in Lee Gongja.”
“What are you looking at??”
The Poison King made a fuss and said while looking at Geommugeuk sitting under the waterfall..
“see our destiny.”
The Poison King admitted that he likes his own world and is not good at understanding other people's feelings..
But he felt it. The more they watch the sword dance, the more they realize that some great fate is coming towards them..
Rather, I thought it was something I felt because I spent a lot of time in my own world. Mabul, entangled in countless relationships, sees something that can never be seen..
“You have fallen for Lee Gongja’s intentions. You were the victim of a trick and trick..”
“If Gongja Lee was that kind of person, the favor he asked me today would have been to persuade Mabul..”
“Then what did you ask for??”
“He said the three of us would have fun today..”
“!”
For a moment, Mabul had that thought. Ah, it won't be easy to defeat Lee Gong-ja. How do you beat this crazy guy? The confidence I had when I first started was completely shriveled..
“If a scholar becomes a Heavenly Demon, there may be bloodshed..”
“The master of science will be playing with the blood and wind..”
Mabul said no more. I felt that the King's decision was firm..
‘It won't be easy.’
If the poison king cannot change his mind, the only demons who support the archduke are himself and Gwonma. And the horse is only half supportive..
At that time, Geommugeuk, who was imitating a practitioner under the waterfall, swam this way..
“Have you seen my waterfall water lily? It's as if he has become a warrior dreaming of revenge through extreme training.…….”
Without listening to all the words, the poison king stood up and said:.
“There's still more to see. Let's go.”
Mabul also jumped up and followed him..
Geommugeuk came out of the water and shouted..
“why? Did I do something wrong? Let's go together! Let's go dry some clothes.!”
I told you to get some rest. It looks like they just had an important conversation. Yes, how can people who have never played in their life play easily? I'm glad we don't fight.
Hwaaaaa!
As Geommugeuk walked, he unleashed a yeolyangjigi. Steam began to rise and the clothes began to dry in an instant..
* * *
I was thankful for the poison king..
He was trying his best to fulfill my request. Otherwise I wouldn't have made this suggestion..
“Let's make a bet.”
Mabul showed interest in the word bet. I was curious about what kind of bet it was, and he had a strong competitive spirit and liked the bet itself..
“What bet??”
“Here in the forest there is a poisonous plant called Chilsaengcho (七生草), which has a seven-pronged mouth and purple fruits. Let's bet on who finds it first..”
“Isn't that too much of a disadvantage to us? The King of Poison must be familiar with the geography of this place..”
“I also don’t know where Chilsaengcho is located. I know it exists, but I can't find it because it's not related to me..”
Mabul didn't think he would lie about something like this, so he asked again..
“If it's a bet, there has to be a reward..”
Since the two people were worried, I said.
“Next time, when you have time, let's have the losers drink heavily at a pungryu bar to the person who finds it first..”
Poison King and Mabul nodded. The competitive spirit burned in Mabul’s eyes. At least for Mabul, it meant more than just drinking..
“Good. Let's try it.”
So we wandered around looking for Chilsaengcho..
Even after searching for a while, it wasn't easy to find. I even used my magic to search, but I couldn't find it..
“I found it!”
The person who found Chilsaengcho was Mabul, who walked across the forest with his small body..
Me and the King of Dogs rushed to him..
“This is correct?”
“oh! That's right! This is chilsaengcho.”
The King of Poisons looked truly moved..
“I can't believe you found this precious thing. You are really good at gathering herbs. Let's go to the forest over there later..”
At the same time, the Poison King carefully plucked the Chilsaengcho. The sight was so full of sincerity that I asked,.
“I didn't make the bet because I needed Chilsaengcho.?”
At that moment, the back of the Poison King who was digging for Chilsaengcho flinched..
The Poison King carefully placed the Seven Saengchos in his bosom and said to Mabul:.
“Next time you come, let's come out and play again. Mabul, come anytime.!”
After saying hello as if saying goodbye, the poison king flew away..
he went that way.
Seeing the Poison King disappearing into the distance, Mabul looked at me and asked, ‘What on earth is going on?’.
“We got hit! They mobilized us as gatherers.!”
Mabul thought my words, which could have been serious, were a joke..
“This place must have been very uncomfortable..”
From a distance, the Poison King glanced back at me..
His eyes said this. I'm having a good time.
and…….
My efforts end here, now it's your turn..
