Chapter 284- Mountains, Winds, and Suffering

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honsei Geomma Cheok Jin-gyeong alternately looked at Akbul Bangcheongak and Jeokwol Gongchwisan.

 

He did not feel like bravado.

 

It was a face that firmly believed that their method would succeed.

 

The Baekduma-gun are those who have reached the absolute state of martial arts or magic.

 

In other words, their discernment is also absolute.

 

Finally, Jinkyung's mouth opened.

 

"let's hear about it. that it is the way.”

 

Gongchwisan turned his gaze to Bangcheongak.

 

It's to make sure it's really okay to talk to him.

 

Bang Chun-gak, who was looking into Chuck Jin-kyung’s eyes, nodded his head as if it would be okay.

 

Only then did Bangchwisan speak.

 

“There is one thing in this world that is both poisonous and not poisonous, living and non-living. It can be said that it is a living curse that will be inflicted regardless of the high or low of the inaction.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“It is other than loneliness.”

 

Chuck Jin-kyung frowned at the word solitude.

 

I had heard rumors that such a thing existed, but I had doubts whether it would really work.

 

“You mean to subdue the religious leader with solitude?”

 

“It is not usually solitude. This is a special solitude created by Yeommae (魘魅, evil magic) and is called ‘Yin-Yang Go’.”

 

"What's a yeommae?"

 

Chuck Jin-kyung was a martial artist and was ignorant of his technique.

 

Even though he had heard the word yeommae, he did not know the weight of the words.

 

“Yeommae refers to magic that is so wicked that it is forbidden even among sorcerers. Eumyanggo is known to be the most heinous of solitudes that humans can create.”

 

“Isn’t that what loneliness is?”

 

Chuck Jin-kyung asked rather cynically.

 

Loneliness is a poisonous insect so small that it cannot be seen.

 

Of course, it's harmful to the human body, but how can you subdue a cult leader with something smaller than dust?

 

A smile tugged at the corners of Gong Qishan's lips.

 

“Whoops. Yeommae contains spirituality. That's why sorcerers are secretly making yeommae. If you knew what eumyanggo was, you wouldn't worry about that.”

 

“Is it different from ordinary solitude?”

 

“It is said that living people and poisonous insects are imprisoned for a thousand days in a lead coffin engraved with a special incantation. Poisonous insects eat people at first, but then they eat each other.”

 

"omg! It's awful.”

 

“Yeommae is originally made in such a terrible way. After all, only solitude with human spirituality can survive a thousand days. That one poisonous insect is called Ingo, the lord of solitude. If you suffer from perseverance, even if the opponent is a freshman, death cannot be avoided.”

 

“You mean it’s an onmyanggo?”

 

“Eumyanggo is even more special. It is said that those who make endurance are eumyanggo that they will meet once in a lifetime. Very rarely after a thousand days is a solitary pair of a male and female found not preying on each other. The male and female have spirituality, and even though they may starve, they do not eat each other. Call it Yin-Yang-Go.”

 

"Ohh!"

 

For the first time, Chuck Jin-kyung showed interest.

 

The solitude imbued with spirituality, the yin-yang and the yin-yang, seemed plausible just by hearing the explanation.

 

“The two Ingos, Yin and Yang, are bound to die if one of them dies. The same goes for feeling pain. If we put one of those yin-yanggos on the cult leader, the lifeline of the cult leader is in our hands.”

 

“Are you saying you two really have that kind of solitude?”

 

Then, Bang Chun-gak and Gong Chwi-san each took out a silver armor from their bosoms and showed them.

 

Bangcheongak pointed to his silver armor and said.

 

“What I have is Yingogo, and what Jeokwol has is Yanggoo. It cost 100,000 nyang of gold to get this eumyanggo. In fact, Yin and Yang cannot be obtained even with ten million gold. They say it might or might not come out once in a hundred years.”

 

“How the hell do you use that?”

 

“You can put eumyanggo in tea or food. Once perseverance enters a person's body, it moves into the head on its own and settles down. Like a parasite.”

 

Gong Quishan, who had been listening silently, added a word.

 

"Whether it's good or bad, I decided to use it for those who have a chance."

 

"It won't be easy to distract the headmaster."

 

Bangcheongak said with her eyes shining.

 

“That's why I need help from someone like Sword Demon. If the three of us try to distract the leader, won't someone find a suitable opportunity?"

 

“Okay. Let's try it.”

 

Chuck Jin-kyung readily declared his participation.

 

Even if solitude doesn't work, there's nothing to lose.

 

Wouldn't it be toxic if poisoning symptoms appear right away?

 

Loneliness does not have specific symptoms like poison.

 

Either it survives and parasitizes on the host's body, or it is digested and dies.

 

Bangcheongak and Gongchwisan put the silver armor back into their arms.

 

After a while, Gongquan said.

 

“This must be done without the other Baekduma soldiers knowing. Because I don't know who the leader's dog is. I think it would be better for us to go to Mt. Pungji for that. What do you two think?”

 

Bang Chun-gak, who had kept his words until there, nodded his head.

 

“I think that would be fine. If you've come to say hello to the headmaster, I won't doubt it.”

 

“So be it.”

 

Cheok Jin-kyung also agreed.

 

It was true that Mt. Poongji was more suitable than Baekmasa with other Baekduma soldiers.

 

The next morning, the three of them left for Mount Pungji, taking only their closest aides.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Jeongju.

 

Chili Hachon.

 

 

 

Unlike the hurried formation of the Cheonjimaeng spying team, they did not leave Chiliha Village.

 

It was because Namgung-yeon, who had been in 10 battles, said, “We have to start on the lucky day.”

 

She was rumored to be able to count heavenly spirit, so no one urged her.

 

In fact, Mt. Fungji is a ‘mountain of death’ where famous religious leaders are located, so there was nothing to say even if I put the auspicious day ahead.

 

 

 

It was when Namgung-yeon was reading a book at the dorm.

 

The voice of a security guard came from outside.

 

“Sozer, are you inside?”

 

"What happen?"

 

“The head of the Chongsan Table Country wants to see Sojeo. What should I do?"

 

Namgungyeon closed the book she was reading.

 

The clearing flag country is a flag country in Zhengzhou, but it has not done any business yet.

 

By the way, did Pyo-du come?

 

If the position is about the top of the table, he will not deliver goods.

 

'What is it that makes the head of the table move directly?'

 

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to meet her.

 

“Let it in.”

 

"yes."

 

Maybe half an hour (about 7 minutes) passed after the security guard went back?

 

A thick man's voice came from outside the door.

 

“Daesan, the head of the Cheongsan-pyo country, is also called Il Se-jin.”

 

Namgung-yeon immediately opened the door and went out to the floor.

 

A strange thief who looked to be in his forties was standing in front of the island.

 

“What is going on?”

 

She said, “About a month ago, she had been entrusted with a letter addressed to Empress yeon. I came to tell you that.”

 

“Does Pyo-du himself run errands like that these days?”

 

"no. Because of the importance of the matter, the Lord of State chose me.”

 

Along with the words, Il Se-jin pulled out a letter from within his arms.

 

However, even with the letter, he was unable to approach Namgung-yeon willingly.

 

Namgungyeon became more curious as he hesitated.

 

What kind of correspondence is that?

 

Her gaze moved to the letter he was holding.

 

'huh? Didn't you pay the wax?'

 

That means someone else may have already seen it.

 

Perhaps that is Wishicheong, the sword of loyalty, the owner of Cheongsanpyo.

 

It seems that he sent it to himself after reading it first.

 

“It seems that there is enough information in it that you wonder whether or not you should pass it on to the end, right? I heard that the sword of loyalty is a righteous person, but it’s surprising that he reads other people’s correspondence.”

 

“Huh! It's not like that. Since this is such a strange situation, in order to prevent accidents... … .”

 

“Accident?”

 

“Yes, Gukju-nim did so because he was afraid that the empress yeon would be harmed.”

 

Namgungyeon, who had been staring at him, turned around.

 

"Come on in."

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

 

 

Il Se-jin cautiously sat across from the desk with a sad face.

 

Even then, he was clutching the letter in his hand.

 

“The client must have been green.”

 

If you were a government official or Chilpaimun people, beeswax is basic.

 

Only Sapa and Nokrim are those who have such a clumsy finish.

 

They think that if they glue it, no one will see it.

 

In a world where even wax is counterfeit.

 

“Well, how did you know that?”

 

“It is too caring. Looking at your expression, you must have read it too.”

 

“… … yes."

 

“To live a long life, it is better not to know the secrets of Murimsa. It would be better not to say the contents of the letter.”

 

Il Se-jin suddenly became curious about what Namgoong-yeon said, as if he knew everything.

 

Is Empress yeon such a great person as rumored to be?

 

is he that young?

 

Suddenly he wanted to ascertain whether her reputation was true or not.

 

“Do you know who the client is, by any chance?”

 

“I left it a month ago, and if you checked the contents, it must be Muyoungshintu Baekkyo. She must have been anxious because her client died suddenly, right? She must have been curious.”

 

“… … .”

 

Ilsejin's mouth was wide open.

 

It's not a bluff.

 

She really knew everything.

 

‘Huh! It's not a reputation earned by deceiving her opponents with vague words like her soothsayers.'

 

Admired, he placed the letter on the writing table with both hands respectfully.

 

“When Baek Kyo suddenly died, the Lord of Guk blocked the delivery. After that, he found out about the affairs of the Cheonjimaeng, and decided to tell it to Empress yeon . I wanted to see the contents without permission because Baek-gyo was poisoned... … . Anyway, I'm sorry."

 

“Baegyo is lucky. If it wasn't for the loyalty sword, he might have gone into the hands of a musketeer.”

 

Il Se-jin was no longer surprised.

 

She thought it was natural now that she was a queen.

 

“Is it possible that the musketeer poisoned Baek Kyo? To cover a stolen property deal?”

 

“Don't tell me. Please keep it a secret that he sent me a letter before Baek Gyo died. Please stop.”

 

Il Se-jin rose from his seat at the resolute order to celebrate.

 

After sending her first letter, Namgung-yeon opened and read her glue-sealed letter.

 

As expected, Baek Gyo, who became anxious, wrote down the situation he was in.

 

“Tsk tsk!”

 

Namgungyeon lightly clicked her tongue.

 

‘If he had confided in me right away, he would not have been poisoned… … .’

 

Still, seeing that she did this, it seems that she had a premonition of her own death.

 

On her desk, she put a barrel of mountain branches [筮 竹, bamboo branches].

 

Shake lightly.

 

Looking at the branches of the mountains, it is still the trigram of Tianshan Dun (天山遯).

 

Cheonsandun means "don't move".

 

Why?

 

The Eighthwangsinmo is plotting something on Mt. Fengji, but the sky doesn't move.

 

Contrary to the wishes of the masters of the Cheonjimaeng, who always want the Tammunjo to move.

 

Namgung-yeon shook her colic again.

 

The second one that came out was Sanpoonggo (山風蠱).

 

Juju once said, ‘God (蠱) is a collapse that has reached its peak and an event (thing) has occurred.’ Some say that it was rotted by the wind staying at the foot of the mountain and worms were formed.

 

Neither this nor that means anything good.

 

Maybe 'mountain', 'wind' and 'high' mean different things.

 

Whatever it is, you know it's not the time to move yet.

 

Namgung-yeon let out a light sigh and poured the mountain branches back into the colic.

 

And I thought about something.

 

Seeing the slight blush on her face, she must be thinking the wrong thing.

 

Before long, the mountain branch was carefully placed on the desk.

 

The Texan box came out.

 

The bottom Gan (艮) signifies a young man, and the top (Tae) signifies a young woman.

 

'It's pure love between a man and a woman... … .’

 

Namgung-yeon hurriedly picked up the mountain branches and stood up from his seat.
