Chapter 23: Nirvana Painting (6)

Seol Young decided to stop the bleeding.

But the moment he touched the wound, he felt something strange from it.

?

He wanted to take a closer look, but it wasnt the right time. After quickly wrapping it up, he looked up.

The Hwarangs from the Black Tortoise Divine Troops were looking at him in complete shock.

Why were they looking at him like that?

Seol Young had a cold gaze.

Was it because he helped them? There was nothing else he could do in that situation. He immediately held his sword to pierce the core of the Avalokiteshvara.

A horrid scream rang out as it was hit.

But the power of the Blue Rainbow Sword wasnt enough.

Seol Young shouted at the Hwarangs,

Use your swords right now!

Everyone was shocked, so they couldnt react immediately.

What are you doing? Do you want to be eaten by the painting?

Zaha sighed.

Ah yes.

All the Hwarangs came to their senses and drew their swords. All of them radiated purple energy and moved.

The paintings mouth fell open. The scream intensified and echoed in all directions.

And they felt it at that moment.

When the core of the evil energy took control, the entire space trembled.

Help!

There are people trapped here!

A voice was heard from somewhere deep in this space, and there was a banging sound too.

Mom!

The families were in disarray and were trying to find their children.

No!

Seol Young stopped them.

We havent subdued the painting yet. I just stopped it for a while, but we cant hold on for much longer. You need to get out of here immediately.

But my kid is in there!

I will make sure to rescue them. For now, move. Dont you see? We cant let it harm any more people!

At that time

Swish!

Something moved swiftly through the wind and flew at them with great force. It was Mo Cheons sword.

The painting deflected it, and Mo Cheon picked up his sword and ran.

We do not have time!

He turned around, dragged the people, and persuaded them.

We need to move now! It is dangerous to stay here!

Right. Lets get out of here together.

They were also persuaded by Ji Oh and Beom Hyun, and everyone moved quickly to get everyone out.

In the meantime, Hu Myung, the eighth Hwarang, and Ji Hae, the seventh, moved as well.

So fast.

Seol Young tried to escape. There was no time to feel the pain. Soon, he could finally see the door.

People were waiting outside, and the landlords family was also there, being protected. When they ran out, they ran after them.

You are safe! But what happened?

The painting appeared!

What?

They were all shocked, and only then did they notice Seol Youngs wounds.

Seol Young spoke without hesitation.

Jeong Pung! We have subdued it for now, so we need to leave quickly.

At that moment, Beom Hyun and Ji Oh moved. The blades of their swords were trembling.

We dont have time to talk now! I heard that protecting the people is your mission.

He was right.

Lets go!

Jeong Pung turned.

The gate that had vanished had finally appeared. And they evacuated the people right away.

Everyone run.

Seol Young turned around at that voice and looked at Zaha.

Thankful, right?

As I thought.

What he felt right then was correct.

Seol Young said,

Two things are different.

What two?

A soul filled with rage and hatred and intent on killing. That is the soul of the person who made this painting. But this is different.

Seol Young took out the plaque and showed it to Zaha.

Zaha frowned.

The person who drew the painting and the one who is sealed here are different?

I am sure.

Isnt it possible that its ego split away from the soul? The good side and bad side?

No. Cant you tell the difference? They feel so different.

But didnt the soul that was imprisoned inside claim that it was the one who painted this?

There are two odd things about this. First, it is unable to absorb the qi of people despite capturing them for several days. Second, there are two painters. There is obviously a mysterious part of this case that no one knows about.

Seol Young wrapped the wound with a new cloth and swallowed the pill Baek Eon gave him.

The pain went away immediately, yet it was strongly ingrained in his mind.

A painter who died one hundred years ago. How do we find

Seol Young bit his lip, and Zaha stared at him.

That is why I said you couldnt do this.

?

I knew it was impossible, yet I thought you could do it, but it doesnt seem like you can find out about it.

What?

He pointed to the inside of the house, and Seol Young asked,

What is there?

A shrine.

A shrine?

A space to soothe the spirits. Think about it, Seol Young-rang. A painter collapsed and died after completing the painting in this house, right?

I did hear that.

The landlord at that time must have been shocked. He must have hated something like that happening in such an expensive house. So he must have built a shrine or something to appease the dead. Wouldnt there be something like that here? Like a keepsake.

But there was no shrine.

There is.

How can you be so sure?

Because I saw it myself. Do you remember when I said I would let the Black Tortoise Divine Troops out?

Seol Young was speechless. So this wasnt an excuse, but something real?

Anyway, I am someone who keeps my word. I said I would tell you something about this house if you told me a part of your past.

There was no way to know if his information was right or not. All he could do was judge it for himself.

Those were his words.

Lets check out the facts first.

Seol Young looked inside the house and focused all of his spiritual energy into his eyes.

He could feel something.

The aura of the dead was shining. Meanwhile, the aura of the shrine was so weak that it was so hard to notice it, but it was there.

And he looked at Zaha.

Thank you for giving me such information.

Well. You cannot just get in because I told you, right?

You told me that with those intentions? Why? I thought you were being kind.

Seol Young turned away from him. He had to find a way.

It was the biggest obstacle for him now.

What is this ghosts point in life?

He recalled what the people told him.

How did it work?

And as he thought, his eyes wandered around and stopped near the tree in the garden.

Something popped into his mind.

There.

An evil smile formed on Seol Youngs face, and Zaha frowned.

Uh?

You made a mistake.

Seol Young said.

You thought I wouldnt be able to get in and gave me such good information, but there is a way to get in.
