Chapter 376

The 376th banquet has been canceled.

It was a small piece of metal.

It was not round in shape like the black tablet of Pungcheon Bridge that Bigwe first absorbed. This one was a fang ornament that might have fallen from a beast made of iron. It was too heavy to wear around the neck, so it could only be left standing and used as a decoration..

“I'll take this.”

Bisain looked at the sword dance with a surprised face..

“Are you serious??”

“exactly.”

“Can I take a look??”

“Take a look as much as you want.”

Bisain looked at the decorations closely. No matter how you looked at it, it was just a fang made of iron. There's no way Geommugeuk just chose it.?

“Why do you want to have this??”

“I was really drawn to it..”

“You really don't even know.”

This may have happened once or twice after encountering a sword dance, but this was the most unknown..

“Didn't I receive the Sun and Moon Sword from you and receive a gift from the Lord? I have enough of this..”

“I can't believe I'm worried that the sense of mystery will disappear. Just wondering why I chose this will last me a lifetime..”

Geommugeuk and Bisain reported together..

“I never dreamed that I would experience something like this with you..”

Could it be that it's just Bisain? Geommugeuk himself had no idea that he would return and live a life like this. When I wandered around the central plains alone in search of Dafa materials and had a hard time, I comforted myself by thinking about my life after returning. At that time, would you have imagined that you would be walking side by side from the small leader of the Apostolic Alliance and the treasurer of the Apostolic Alliance??

“There will be many unexpected things in the future. Let’s live our whole lives being surprised like this..”

Although he is younger than me, he is always a dependable sword dance..

I wanted to ask this about such a sword dance..

“you are not afraid?”

“What do you mean??”

“The ones plotting this against us. You never know what else they might do while hiding in the dark.?”

Since he knew that King Tu escaped alive, perhaps this fear was natural..

Now that he was able to catch his breath after the hectic fight, Bisain realized how dangerous this incident had been. If it weren't for the sword dance, I would have already died many times over..

Teacher Su, what on earth are you thinking??

Geommugeuk answered calmly..

“What is there to be afraid of? I must be working harder than them. If I do the best I can and still get hit, it can't be helped, right? I'm willing to die.”

“!”

These were words that would serve as a milestone for Bisain’s future life..

Even though he said these words of gratitude, Geomugeuk said that he was actually grateful..

“Thank you for keeping your promise..”

When I think about all the gratitude that was in my payment basket, I feel so sorry and embarrassed at this moment..

Bisain walked ahead with long strides and said:.

“Don't be late for the evening banquet..”

* * *

The sword dance performance returned to the guest theater provided by the Sado Alliance..

After entering the room, I locked the door and closed the window..

On the table he placed the iron fang he had taken from the treasure chest and treasury. Since I have already experienced absorbing black essence once, I will not be surprised by what happens next. By the way, you seem to absorb things of different shapes..

“You were hungry, right? Now, enjoy your meal.!”

But Bigwe didn't move..

“Eat, why don't you eat?”

It was definitely vibrating, but the big pipe did not absorb the metal decoration..

“Suddenly, his face changed to a different side.?”

I changed the direction and placed the fang decoration on the other side, but it still didn't absorb..

“what? Isn't it this? It was something else next to it.?”

Of course, that can't be true. I definitely reacted to this.

I tried this and that, but it was no use..

In the end, I gave up on sword dance..

“you are full.”

Bigwe just smiled brightly, just as he had pictured..

* * *

That evening, Geommugeuk walked down the hallway toward Maengjujeon, guided by Ingung..

Ingung naturally stopped at one place and turned around to see Geommugeuk standing still in front of the steel wolf..

“I won't be able to see you after today, so please take a moment to say goodbye. I'll be waiting for you in the Battle of Maengju..”

I really like that wolf statue, but I felt sorry for not giving it enough time until now. Of course, it was a consideration that came out of kindness for saving the leader..

“Thank you. I'll be there soon.”

When Ingung disappeared, Geommugeuk said goodbye to the wolf..

“I can’t see you anymore either..”

He didn't know why this wolf was dragging his feet like this..

Was it because I thought that my life before returning resembled this lonely wolf? Maybe so.

“There won't be anything to see anymore. take care.”

After stroking the wolf's head, Geommugeuk, who was about to turn around, suddenly stopped. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me like a thunderbolt..

Geommugeuk took out a fang decoration from his arms..

‘no way? Probably not?’

Geomgeuk put his fangs into the steel wolf's open mouth..

Even when I put it in the place where the fangs would go, there was no change. It was the same on the other side..

‘Well then.’

I was just trying to cover it up, so I tried putting it in my upper teeth as well..

At that very moment, blue light emanated from the wolf's eyes..

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

At this moment, it felt like the wolf came to life..

Geommugeuk increased his strength and stepped back. Fortunately, the wolf did not attack Geommugeuk..

Instead, something rolled out of the wolf's mouth with a clanking sound..

Geommugeuk was surprised to see what it was..

What came out of the mouth was a bluish bead. If the one previously absorbed was black essence, this was blue essence. They were even the same size.

These fangs were the key to extracting the bead hidden in the steel wolf's body. Now I can understand why I was so attracted to this wolf statue. It was led by Bigwe, not by himself. If not, it may have been due to the energy of the black spirit that was absorbed into the body earlier..

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

The Bige in my arms vibrated and reacted..

He took out the big box and placed a prayer on it..

Seueuugh.

As if he had been waiting, Bigwe began to absorb the cleanliness. The hard beads seeped into the raincoat like liquid..

The Bige, which had absorbed all the purity, vibrated once..

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Something blue began to come out of Bigwe..

It was the same as during the Black Jeong period. It was not smoke, liquid, internal energy, or light. Something that cannot be expressed in words spread through the hands and arms of the sword dance and spread throughout the body..

This time too, the Heavenly Demon Defense Technique did not activate. Rather, a refreshing feeling spread throughout my body. The instinct of the sword dance was certain. Whatever this energy is, it definitely won't harm you..

At that moment, when the energy spread from head to toe, a radiance emanated from Geommugeuk's body. It was so intense that I couldn't open my eyes..

When I reopened my closed eyes, all of that blue energy had been absorbed into my body. The second energy was absorbed through Bigwe..

However, there was no change in the body. The two energies did not meet and mix. Everyone was just quietly sleeping deep inside their bodies..

I thought it was because I had not yet absorbed all the energy to lead to any change..

Bigwe let out a clean slate that had absorbed all of its energy. Now it has become an ordinary stone. He took out the big box, the stone, and even the fangs that were inserted into the wolf statue and kept them in his bosom, and this time he expressed his gratitude to the wolf statue..

“At least I won’t let what you have been in vain. Thank you, Cheongrang.”

The wolf stood proudly as usual, as if it had never seen a blue aura in its eyes..

Geommugeuk slowly walked towards Maengjujeon..

* * *

Baek Ja-gang, who was sitting in the royal palace, was thinking of Geom Woo-jin, the Heavenly Demon. Those eyes that seem to ignore me are still vivid. I met him twice, and both times he had the same look in his eyes..

Is it different for the third time??

In the past, this would have been something I would have flatly rejected, but the reason I was worried was not because of this conspiracy. It wasn't because I wanted to become friends with Geom Woojin. It was because of the sword dance drama..

‘You raised a son like that? That Geom Woojin?’

I couldn't believe it. I want to meet in person and check. It's not that he was influenced by Geom Woo-jin, but that a son like that was born and grew up like a mutant. What if Geom Woo-jin raised him like that? Because I felt really pissed off..

“what do you think?”

Then Bisain, who was standing under the Taesa, calmly answered..

“I wish you would go.”

“The reason is?”

“Because I believe in you, Lord..”

“Because you trust me?”

“Because you are the only person in this world I trust..”

Baek Ja-gang looked down at his disciple with an unexpected expression. He used to never say things like this, but he has changed..

“After meeting Sogyoju, I have been thinking a lot about changing..”

“Because you can only win if you change?”

Of course I thought that would be the case, but Bisain had other thoughts..

“No, I don't plan on winning..”

“It's not that I'm not confident of winning.?”

“The dream itself has changed. Instead of dreaming of winning, dream of going together. Maybe it will be a harder fight for me than the fight to win or lose..”

Just as it is more difficult for a warrior not to draw his sword than to draw it..

“It must be very difficult to be around such an exceptional person. You will be compared, your pride will be hurt, and you will feel a lot of self-destruction. But I want to go. Rather than being satisfied with the snake's head, I want to become entangled with a dragon and dream of ascending to heaven. Even if I fall and die, I will die looking at the sky, so I won't have any regrets..”

Bisain was not at all intimidated and said everything he had to say. Today was the first time he spoke so much in front of the leader..

Baekjagang was internally satisfied..

The disciple is right. It doesn't matter now whether you win or lose. What matters is momentum.

Rather than shouting that you will definitely win just to impress yourself, it is better to reveal your beliefs like you do now..

I had lived my whole life without children. So, as I got older, there were times when I felt sad..

There's a child standing over there..

I felt that way. A disciple who is like a son is saying that he will take a path that he has never been able to take. Yes, a snake is still a snake no matter how big it is..

At that time, with the news that Geommugeuk had arrived, the door to Maengjujeon opened a little while later and Geommugeuk entered..

When he arrived in front of the Taesa, Baek Ja-gang asked first..

“Did you rest well??”

“Thanks to you, I had a good rest..”

He probably heard what he chose in the report, but he didn't ask about it..

Once you give permission, it's over. My heart of not looking back is very similar to my father. That's why I'm hoping that the two of you might get along well..

Instead, I asked something else..

“What kind of person do you think I am??”

There was silence for a moment due to the sudden question. I was curious what kind of answer Bisaindo’s sword dance would give..

Geommugeuk, who had been lost in thought for a moment, broke the silence..

“I haven't seen you in a while so I honestly don't know who you are. However, if you look at the fact that he confidently leads the apostles even while competing with our father, he must be an amazing person..”

Although it was said humbly, it was a remark that honored both my father and Baek Ja-gang..

“Since you are the person I respect the most, you must be someone I can respect as well..”

Geommugeuk's gaze, which was briefly aimed at Bisain, then gazed at Baekjagang..

“However, what I said earlier was answered through others. I would like to tell you my answer based on my pure feelings. I would like to know more about what kind of person Maengju is. So why not go to my bar and have a drink?.”

Baek Ja-gang looked down at the sword dance performance and was lost in thought. When you go, you will meet Geom Woojin. This decision could have changed not only his own fate, but also the fate of the Sado League..

Eventually, Baek Ja-gang made up his mind..

“Today's banquet is canceled.”

And a surprising reason was added:.

“Let's have a drink at your favorite bar..”

Baek Ja-gang's refreshing decision brought a bright smile to Geommugeuk's face..

“Thank you so much, Maengju..”

“Instead, as you said, you will solve the problem of the Murim Alliance yourself. Then I'll make a specific schedule. However, if the Murim Alliance does not accept it, this decision will be cancelled..”

“All right. We will contact you as soon as it is resolved..”

I know sword dance. How difficult this decision was for the Apostle Lord. Would you jump into enemy territory knowing what would happen? he just risked his life.

“I still don't know what kind of person Maengju is, but I have to tell you this..”

“what to say?”

“You're cool.”

Since goosebumps didn't appear in my ears, I guess that teacher Su really thinks he's cool..

“I will refuse to flatter you..”

The sword dance performer bows with a smile and shows courtesy..

“So take care until we see you again..”

Geommugeuk entered into a fierce battle..

The Apostle Lord was someone I didn't know well before his return, but he was such a refreshing person. I like this guy.

As I waited in front of Maengjujeon for a while, Bisain followed me..

“You'll be leaving right away.?”

Geommugeuk nodded to Bisain’s question..

“Where do you go now??”

“There is someone who needs to stop by the safe house and take them to the main school. I need to see the poison king too. I will stop by the main school and then go back to Murimmaeng. If things go well there, I'll let you know right away..”

“You're so busy.”

I am a person who is good at coming suddenly and leaving suddenly, but this time I was sad to part ways with Geommugeuk..

“If you go, you will also meet Grand Master Jin..”

Jinhagun was disappointed that he could not keep up with the affairs of the Sado Alliance, but now Bisain has become the opposite..

“Let's go together too..”

“I'm sure the Murim Lord would be happy to see the three of us hanging out together. If I go for no reason, I'll end up messing with the Murim Lord. why do you look at me like that?”

Then, a surprise question from the sword dance came in..

“When are you going to dance??”

Bisain’s embarrassed face heated up..

“I'm sure the minor leader of the Sadomaeng won't go against what he said.?”

“I will protect it, I will protect it!”

Now even my ears are red. Anyway, I can't let down my guard even for a moment while watching this sword dance show..

Fortunately, Ylang came and saved him. He handed over the sword box that Ylang had kept..

Bisain relayed that to Geommugeuk again..

“This is the Sun and Moon Sword I have kept here..”

“thank you for the gift.”

When Geommugeuk’s lips twitched to ask about dancing again..

“I have two swords now..”

“Then I will endure it, I will endure it..”

This playful and persistent person will make fun of himself for a long time. In the end, you will have to dance the Chugi someday..

After dancing for the last time, the two said goodbye happily..

“I will definitely convince the Murim Lord, so let’s meet at our main school..”
