Chapter 325
Episode 325 This is what I say in times like that.
the two were in the picture.
The picture looked exactly like a real person and the movements were vivid..
When the leader of Pungcheon was looking at Sobaekta, I saw King Hwan..
It was the king I saw before returning..
King Hwan, you were here at this time..
In the picture, King Hwan takes Sobaekta and disappears inside the door..
Mabul and I's gaze naturally focused on the leader of Pungcheon..
Pungcheon’s eyes deepened as he looked at the painting. I guess I can feel the ominous energy beyond that door..
“It's pretty good.”
It is a word that acknowledges King Hwan. Yes, of course it will. Because it was a world created by King Hwan. Hwanwang was a better master than Hwanyeo. That's why he was the one who made a name for himself in the world..
“It's dangerous. I'll go alone.”
I smiled at that and said.
“I wondered who the student looked like..”
“what does it mean?”
“If you really wanted to go alone, you wouldn't have told me it was dangerous.?”
This means that it is the same as Sobaekta yelling not to come while being dragged away. Those words were more burdensome than asking me to please save you. Just like saying it's dangerous so I'll go alone..
“Even if I were to leave it behind anyway, wouldn’t you be the one to listen to me??”
“We came together, so we should finish it together..”
I would never let the leader of Pungcheon enter that picture alone..
“Are you ready??”
“Done.”
Mabul also nodded along..
The head of the Pungcheon Church memorized the nine verses in front of the painting..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
We stood in front of the door with a deep sound..
It came into the picture in an instant..
The feast of illusions performed by the master who reached the extreme was truly a work of art..
Big beasts gathered from all directions baring their teeth..
However, I did not dare to attack him because I was afraid of the prayers emanating from the Pungcheon religious leader..
On the other hand, he acted like he was going to attack me and Mabul at any moment..
Mabul walked towards them with long strides. He showed his teeth and growled, but he couldn't even attack Mabul..
Mabul reached out his hand and stroked the beast's head. Surprisingly, the beasts were still there..
It was a moment to see for myself how strong Mabul was at illusions..
Meanwhile, the leader of Pungcheon stood in front of the door..
He closed his eyes for a moment, controlled his mind, and placed his palm on the door..
As the Pungcheon religious leader recited a verse and pushed slowly, the door began to open with a loud noise..
We went inside shoulder to shoulder..
Beyond the door, a long hallway awaited us. It was an endless hallway, as if there was no way back after passing this hallway..
“When I saw her face, she looked very similar to the woman in the flower garden. They're probably twins or siblings..”
As he walked, he informed the two people that King Hwan and Hwan Yeo were related by blood..
“Then this place will be even more dangerous..”
The head of the Pungcheon Church nodded at Mabul’s words. He must be feeling it too. Since he was the one who killed her, neither of them can get out alive..
“You don't seem nervous at all..”
“There are two of you, so why would I be nervous??”
This time, the leader of Pungcheon Church asked Mabul..
“why are you nervous?”
“You two will take care of it..”
this time i asked.
“What about the leader??”
“it's me… … Because I have it. shit! I feel like I'm the only one losing out!”
I laughed happily at the Pungcheon religious leader’s joke. But I could feel it. The leader of Pungcheon was definitely more nervous than the last time he dealt with Hwanyeo. There seems to be a certain energy that only illusionists can feel..
We continued walking down that long hallway..
“This illusion was also practiced in the blood religion..”
“I've felt it before, but it seems like the leader has deep knowledge of martial arts..”
“Because we are blood religion.”
Because the predecessor of Pungcheongyo was a blood religion..
“A long time ago, when they lost the war against the Heavenly Demon Church, all of the leaders of the Blood Church died. I knew that the Heavenly Demon Church could not destroy the blood religion. Because it would have taken too much of a sacrifice to kill all of them besides the birds. So I hoped that the Heavenly Demon Church would become a new blood religion..”
“That's Pungcheongyo Bridge..”
“okay. It is said that in the early days, there was a strong conflict between those who said that the blood religion should be preserved as is and those who said that the name of blood religion should be abandoned. However, Cheonma Shingyo supported the plan to establish Pungcheongyo, so it was eventually reborn as Pungcheongyo. For a while, the pro-Machine religion of Pungcheonism continued to descend, but at some point, it was freed from its influence..”
During its long history, Cheonma Shinto also experienced many changes..
“This person is the one who has properly inherited the magic power of the blood religion. There is definitely a force trying to reestablish blood religion..”
“Are you talking about a secret society??”
“It's not a secret anymore. Because they kidnapped the leader of the Pungcheon Church and also dragged in the small leader of the Heavenly Demon Church..”
Meanwhile, we arrived at the end of the hallway..
Three doors waiting for us.
The three doors giving off a mysterious aura seemed to be saying this. Which door you choose will determine your life or death..
“Where should I go??”
Pungcheon’s eyes deepened as he looked at the three doors..
“It's a trap. If you go to one place together, you will be scattered, and if you go in separately, you will meet..”
“Then let’s all go separately..”
“I'll go to the middle.”
The Pungcheon religious leader chose the middle door, and Mabul and I each entered through the left and right doors..
When I opened the door and went in, there was a hallway again..
As I was walking down the hallway, I looked back and the door I came through was gone. There is no going back now.
When I came out through the door at the end of the hallway, I couldn't see Pungcheon or Mabul..
I felt it for a moment. That the Pungcheon religious leader deceived us..
He wants to deal with King Hwan alone. Those three doors are the message that King Hwan left to the leader of Pungcheon Church..
Leave the two of you apart and come alone..
Because this fight was between the leader of Pungcheon and King Hwan. Because the leader of Pungcheon probably wanted to protect me and Mabul..
The place I entered was the banquet hall. The dancers were dancing and the musicians were playing cheerful songs. Young women were holding bottles of alcohol and beckoning us to come..
Just looking at the atmosphere here gives strength to my previous guess..
you rest here.
I looked around to find an exit. But the bluish light was not easily visible..
Since this space was also created through illusion, there must be a law of destruction somewhere..
At that time, a man in the banquet hall walked up and said to me:.
“Rest in peace. If there's anything you want, just tell me..”
“Where is the way out??”
“The door opens only when the time is right. It won't open before then.”
Easy profit! Suddenly!
I cut the man down with a single sword..
The fallen man disappeared into black smoke with a popping sound..
As a result, the music stopped and everyone stopped moving and looked at me. Of course they weren't people. They were demons gathered together with demonic energy..
I looked around at them and asked.
“Who knows how to get out of here!”
Instead of raising their hands, they rushed in from all directions..
* * *
In contrast to the sword dance performance that took place in the banquet hall, the atmosphere in the place where Mabul entered was fierce..
Pitch- black darkness. It was a place where you couldn’t even see an inch ahead. I couldn't see my surroundings even with the radiance of my normally shining body..
Mabul could feel it. that there is something here.
He quickly made a sign with his fingers..
Jeonbeopgwangin (轉法光印))!
At that moment, a golden glow emanated from Mabul’s body..
I saw that place at that moment.
Dozens of monsters cover their eyes to avoid light..
They all cried out in response to the light. It was a loud cry that felt like my eardrums were going to burst..
A new beast was created in the hands of Mabul..
Salbeophoein (殺法悔印))!
The next moment, a golden river of energy was released from Mabul's double field..
I love you so much!
All the monsters there were swept away by the enormous river that rolled in like a wave..
puck! Pow! puck! puck! puck!
The monsters turned into black smoke and disappeared..
Mabul walked with long strides and opened the door to the next room..
It was like a square ten times bigger than the room in front..
And all the demons that were there turned to look at Mabul. Two red eyes and a torn mouth. It was a sight that really made me want to close the door again..
But Mabul went in there with one corner of his mouth raised. Rather, the door was closed tightly as if no one could get out..
The demons screamed and rushed toward Mabul from all directions. There were so many of us that we stepped on each other..
A new golden beast was being created in the chaos..
* * *
King Hwan and Sobaekta entered the spacious main hall..
Stone statues and murals everywhere, a large royal temple. The place filled with unknown patterns was clearly the first time Sobaekta had been there. But it looked familiar.
“Where are we??”
Sobaekta treated him calmly. Being hostile and swearing is not a wise choice. We must calmly look for opportunities..
“Isn’t this where you are every day??”
“no way? Gyojujeon?”
It was different from the current Gyojujeon, and it was also different from the Gyojujeon during Master's time..
“It's a war between the religious leaders..”
“okay. This is the true Gyojujeon..”
I was moved by the look in King Hwan’s eyes as he looked around the place. He really respected and liked this place..
“It's a place where real demons other than Sae lived. I'm not a pathetic immature child like you are now..”
The word immature struck my heart. But now is not the time to be immature..
“Why did you bring me here??”
“to take you hostage.”
Sobaekta's heart was pounding, but he said it without any hesitation..
“You're really being rude..”
“Because your master is not a person you can deal with in a showy manner..”
Sobaekta knew. That King Hwan truly acknowledges Master. He cursed like that when he was with me. Now that I think about it, that curse was ultimately cursed to myself..
“Master won't come.”
“will come.”
“You don’t care about me that much..”
“If that were the case, I wouldn't have come running all the way to this area. Su Jiao came to kill me, but your master came to save you..”
Sobaekta, who was dazed for a moment, suddenly spoke..
“When I think about it, I think my life is better than yours..”
King Hwan stared at him in silence as he suddenly changed..
“You are cowardly, have no pride, and are even cowardly, right? Perhaps you will be caught in someone's command or faithful one.”
Sobaekta rushed forward without fear..
“You always bowed down to me. Teacher, are you here? Did anything pleasant happen today? The leader is the one who will lead the new martial arts group. Religious leader, religious leader. I licked it yesterday and I licked it today too. If you had asked me to lick it, I would have probably licked the soles of my feet too..”
When King Hwan stretched out his hand, Sobaekta flew away..
Sobaekta, whose inner strength had already been suppressed, was helplessly caught in his grasp. The only thing left to fight for was the mouth..
“What were you so scared of that you overpowered your inner strength? You say this is your hell? You coward! lick my asshole!”
Despite the pouring ridicule, King Hwan did not get angry, but instead smiled at him..
“That's unexpected. How can you honor your master this much?.”
King Hwan saw right through Sobaekta’s inner thoughts. He realized that he was trying to kill himself by stimulating him..
“If you want to die like that, hit your head on the horns of the statue over there and commit suicide. Do you really have the courage to do that??”
King Hwan threw Sobaekta in front of the statue..
Sobaekta looked at the statue with trembling eyes. The horns on the monster's forehead were sharp like a spear..
As I stared at the sharp horns, I felt death approaching..
Then, like a flash, I remembered the things that happened with my teacher when I was young..
If you think about it, Master especially cared about himself. He acknowledged that he was born with talent, and even praised his classmates, telling them to follow Baekta's example. The day I was praised by my teacher, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep..
When he played the eumlae bell on Hyeolsinjeal, he would call himself and play along with him..
Then the master stroked his head and said. That you would take my place.
I did it well 10 times and then did it poorly once, so I blamed my master and denied it. You stupid, foolish bastard! If you do well 10 times and fail once, you should be the person who did well 9 times..
Sobaekta, who was blaming himself, closed his eyes tightly..
‘I can no longer be a burden to Master..’
He mercilessly threw his face towards the horn..
Powok!
I thought I was going to die like this, but the statue's horns were crushed like soft clay..
From afar, King Hwan smiled and clapped his hands. He changed the horn using a genjutsu.
“This is why I can't kill you. If you think so much of your master, how could you kill such a precious hostage??”
Sobaekta threw himself towards the wall..
But before he hit his head against the wall, he flew into the hands of the King of Hwan..
I grabbed Sobaekta and looked down at him..
“If your master dies, it will be because of you..”
It was a terrible thing to even imagine. Even when I tried to bite my tongue, my jaw had no strength..
“……please kill me.”
It was right then. Someone entered there and said in a loud voice:.
“In that case, instead of asking you to kill me, I say this..”
The person who entered with great strides was none other than the head of Pungcheon Church..
“If Master dies, it will be because of you. If our master dies, it's because our master's martial arts skills are weak. Master’s death has nothing to do with me. This is what I say again to those guys who try to play with people's hearts. Don't go away, you bastard!”
The leader of Pungcheon spoke calmly to Sobaekta, who was looking at him with passionate eyes..
“From now on, I will teach you everything again..”
