Chapter 147
Episode 147. You see something strange?
around lunchtime.
When meal time came, people took out food from their luggage and ate it.
The Yeon Jeok-ha group also gathered together and solved a meal with dry rice.
Towards the end of the meal, the captain approached cautiously.
“Come on, warriors. I’m sorry to have you eat your lunch at a place like this. Even if it is inconvenient, please be patient. Dinner will be served on shore. In the afternoon, we plan to dock at Janghojin for a day.”
Yoo Geun-sik asked while he was eating the beef jerky.
“When do you mean afternoon?”
“We will arrive at Janghojin by Shigyeong Yoo at the latest (between 5 and 7 p.m.).”
“I’m going to spend the night at Janghojin, right?”
“Yes, it is not easy to move the boat when it is dark. We often stay at Janghojin and then go.”
“Ah yes.”
Yu Geun-sik nodded as if he understood.
When the others didn’t say much, the captain bowed his head and went back.
Seol Cha-su and his party went into the cabin to sleep as if they were tired.
Cheongwoon swords Namgungcheon and Gucheonnodo went to the shade saying they needed to rest.
Somehow, only Yeon Jeok-ha and Hwayong Doksim Namgung-yeon were left on the deck.
how much time has passed
Yeon Jeok-ha approached Namgung-yeon, who was watching the surrounding scenery from the boat.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“huh. What?”
Namgoongyeon smiled and nodded.
The human heart is so deceitful. In the morning there was a fight with the Twelve Horsemen, but now it was like traveling. It is possible because he is by his side.
“Actually, I have a few things to discuss.”
“What?”
“Besides the martial arts I have learned, there is one more called Shinmaek.”
“Shinmaek?”
“Yes, this is the seat of Shinmaek.”
Yeonjeokha put his finger between his eyebrows.
In Namgungyeon’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.
“however?”
“Every time the Twelve Horsemen die, this place gets hot and I see something strange.”
“You see something strange?”
“yes. A dark place like the bottomless pit suddenly appeared before my eyes. There is one that looks exactly like the Twelve Horsemen. But what I killed in real life also dies there. When it dies, I wake up in reality as if I had a dream.”
“But you didn’t fall asleep while fighting the Twelve Horsemen, did you?”
“It happened in the blink of an eye, so other people wouldn’t have known about it. It always goes through that every time the Twelve Horses die. Without a single exception.”
“hmm. You mean you see something in that brief moment when the Twelve Horses die?”
Yeonjeokha scratched his head.
“It’s not just about seeing it, is it a feeling like I’ve been there? Deep breathing can cause out-of-body effects, right? It was like seeing it right in front of me that way.”
“Hmm. so?”
“According to Baeksan’s words, that place is the afterlife. Even when I saw it, it was just like the appearance of the underworld. In the past, I used to visit the afterlife alone as if in a dream, and then return to reality. It’s gotten a little weird since I started carrying the Eight Spirits.”
“Is it getting weird?”
“When the demon dragon died earlier, I was sucked into the afterlife again. There were a lot of monsters like demon dragons there. But hundreds of them looked straight at me as if they had spotted me.”
“Wasn’t it a coincidence?”
“That’s not all. Previously, no sound was heard from the underworld. But when Indusa died, I heard her screams in the underworld.”
“You heard it?”
“I heard the screams of your pharynx. Even the sound of the other headmasters there laughing at me. It’s scary because I feel like I’m getting closer to the afterlife. Can a living person like me go to the underworld?”
Namgungyeon looked at Yeonjeokha with ambiguous eyes.
It is also unfamiliar to me that I am speechless.
Everything related to famous religions is new like this.
An exclamation flowed from Namgoongyeon’s mouth as she searched for a long time.
“ah! yes. There is a pineal gland in the kidney. It is also called the ‘third eye’. In other words, is it the place where the eyes of the mind are located? Maybe you’ve opened your mind’s eye. Is that why you see hell?”
“The mind’s eye?”
“huh. There was something like that in a book I read a long time ago. The monks of the East train the eyes of the spirit.”
“I see. But how do those monsters see me? It hadn’t happened before carrying the Eight Spirits, right?”
Namgoongyeon said with an apologetic expression.
“I don’t know either. Did I just make you carry the Eight Commandments? Would you like to take it off now?”
“no. As my sister said, there is something in the Paljuryeong. It seems that the internal energy I learned and the Eight Master Commandments are related to each other. So I’ll just take it with me.”
“really? I’m glad you think so.”
Only then did Namgungyeon’s expression brighten.
My heart was heavy because I thought Yeonjeokha made me do something I didn’t want to do.
The two didn’t say anything for a while.
Yeon Jeok-ha, standing side by side with Namgung-yeon and watching the river flow, asked.
“By the way, do you believe what Baeksan said?”
“That the famous religious leader is trying to summon the demon king to this world?”
“yes.”
“Hmm! It must be true that the famous religious leader is trying to summon something. I don’t know if that’s really the demon king or if it’s something else.”
“Yeommawang is Yeomrawang, right? Rule over Hell.”
“No, why did the famous religious leaders do such a thing?”
“People are such fools.”
Namgungyeon looked across the river with a bitter face.
It was because he remembered that his family was killed in droves because he was caught up in that foolish act.

Namjikryeseong.
Soho south of Hefei.
anoxic axis.
Musan Nangrang Lee Maehwa ‘bang!’ He hit the desk to make a noise.
I don’t think I’ve ever been as angry as I am today since I entered a famous school.
“what! You think Lee Cho-ryang and Baek-san are dead? Are you saying that now! Wouldn’t it be known if the owner of the green forest had come? Two of the Twelve Horsemen were killed by a gun patrol?”
Ho-pung of Guirang-do, who was in charge of guide Lee Cho-ryang and Baek-san, spoke cautiously.
“I found their wagon at the landlord’s dock, and the two of them hurriedly followed. By the time Sokha arrived, the fight had already ended…”
Ho Pung was speechless.
It was because I was worried about whether I should convey the words of the people I witnessed on the riverside or not.
Maehwa Lee exclaimed nervously.
“After the fight, what? Can’t you speak properly! My damn tongue!”
“It’s such a bizarre sound that I’m embarrassed to say it.”
“Tell me what you hear!”
“Yes Yes, there were several people watching by the riverside. They say that two old masters ran across the river and got into a boat. And then there was a fight… Gulp.”
Hofeng swallowed dry saliva as if he was feeling nervous after talking.
The moment Lee Mae-hwa, who was glaring at her with prey eyes, was about to say something, Ho-pung hurriedly spoke.
“It is said that after the old master who used the sword died, his body turned into a demonic dragon.”
“A horse dragon? crazy guy I was sent to guide the twelve horsemen, but they went somewhere and had a drink.”
“How dare you do that? All the witnesses said so unanimously. The old master who used the sword died and became a demon dragon, and the old master who used the sword became a thunder god.”
A light like lightning flashed in Lee Mae-hwa’s eyes.
‘Those who use swords are Lee Cho-ryang, and those who use swords must be Baeksan… What do you mean by demon dragons and thunder gods?’
He told Ho-Pung that he had been drinking, but he didn’t really think so. There was no way I would let Lee Cho-ryang and Baek-san do that right away.
Lee Mae-hwa’s voice softened a little.
“Tell me about the Demon Dragon and the Thunder God in detail.”
“The horse dragon had the head of a lizard, a body as big as an elephant, and it is said that it had bat wings on its back. It is said that he flew through the sky with his wings. Then he died after being struck by the sword of a young man…”
“If you are a young man, do you mean younger enemy?”
“Yeah, it seemed like that.”
“What about the brain god?”
“The head is a human, but the body is said to be a snake. That’s why it seemed to be called the brain god. It is said that the thickness of the body was about five feet (about 150 centimeters) and the length reached five feet (about 15 meters). I heard that he was also killed by a young man’s sword while spouting mist from his mouth…”
“But?”
“It is said that both the Demon Dragon and the Thunder God disappeared like phantoms as soon as they died.”
“You disappeared like a ghost?”
“Yes, I heard that clearly. It disappeared like a lie in an instant.”
“So, after Lee Cho-ryang and Baek-san died, they turned into demon dragons and thunder gods, but when Yeon Jeok-ha killed even them, they disappeared like ghosts? Whoop whoop.”
Lee Mae-hwa let out a laugh with a face that was absurd.
Live and live It’s the first time I’ve ever heard an absurd sound like today.
‘Are you saying that the Twelve Horsemen have two lives?’
Compared to that bizarreness, her first marriage ceremony felt normal.
“Is it possible that the eyewitnesses were talking nonsense?”
“It was so frustrating that I dragged the two guys to a secret place and even tortured them. But even as they died, they said it was true until the end.”
“Did you say it was true even when you were dying?”
“yes.”
“i get it. If so, where did they say Yeonjeokha is going now?”
“I didn’t know until then, but the place where the boat headed was the oral cavity.”
“Oral?”
“yes. It was clearly said to be a boat going to the oral cavity.”
“Oral. what is in the mouth huh?”
In an instant, light poured from Lee Mae-hwa’s eyes.
‘wait! Killing the giant cold noodle sword demon at Jiuhua Mountain and going to the oral cavity?’
Jiuhua Mountain has Samdo Sanchae, and Gugu has Yangtze River Waterchae.
Coincidentally, the owners of the two places are twelve horse soldiers.
‘Look at this. Are you arranging the living quarters occupied by the Twelve Horsemen?’
Once I thought about it, no other possibility came to my mind.
“joy! It seems that the Pacheon Demon Army is trying to be hostile toward the main school.”
“omg! Is it Pacheonma-kun?”
Hofung is surprised when the name of Pacheonma-kun suddenly comes up.
“okay. It seems that Yeon Jeok-ha is aiming for the rice wine of the Yangtze River. If it wasn’t for Pacheon Demon-kun’s instructions, why would he pick up living vegetables?”
The total protection law reader and Yang So-ran, who had been quietly listening on one side, opened their mouths.
“If that’s the case, should I contact Yang Jiang?”
“What is the use of contact? More than that, who is the guardian that remains in the anoxic axis now?”
“I have a blood sword and a jade fire.”
“Hmm!”
A quiet voice flowed from Lee Mae-hwa’s mouth.
Two of the twelve horsemen were killed, but I was reluctant to send them out again.
Then Yang So-ran said.
“Dangju-nim, can I take the blood sword and the jade Buddha and run to the Yangtze River Waterfall?”
“Are you going?”
Lee Mae-hwa looked at Yang So-ran with surprised eyes.
It was surprising that she, who seldom left the church, would go to the Yangtze River Sink.
“I want to avenge Baeksan.”
“Did you have a relationship with him?”
“His life was as complicated as mine. I’m not like everyone else, so I hung out often.”
“It would be nice if you came forward and gave it to me.”
Maehwa Lee had a somewhat unwilling face.
It is because they have lived together like sisters for a long time with Yang So-ran.
“Whoops. Mr. You don’t think I’ll just get hit by the green forest patrol, do you?”
“No way. If it’s a poison hearted ghost, it’s a heroine that even the green forest triads couldn’t carelessly do.”
Lee Mae-hwa decided not to worry any longer.
It is no exaggeration to say that the poisonous spirit demon and the blood sword jade Buddha are the core of oxygen reduction. With the strength of these three and the Yangtze River, there was nothing to worry about even if the opponent was the Demon Army.
