Chapter 439
Episode 439 The Necessity of Madness (4)
“Whew.”
There was a bad smell from the breath I was exhaling.
Dan Lihu didn’t frown even once when he smelled that smell. It was a face that was difficult to tell whether it was familiar or emotionless.
“I brought you some medicine, Master.”
“Okay.”
“All right.”
Even though it was worth recommending once more, Dan Lihu put the bowl he brought down on the table.
“then.”
“Sit down.”
Usually, I sent him out right away after treatment, but he seemed to have something else to say today.
Dan Lihu sat down.
The movements on the expressionless face are stiff yet soft. The sight was like seeing a jiangshi from a legend.
The old man, who was lying down on a soft chair, held out his hand.
“that.”
Dan Lihu placed the bear on the end of the table and placed it in the old man’s hand.
The old man put his index finger on the end of the bear.
Grumble!
A blue flame appeared and then disappeared. Perhaps because the beginning of the year had been enough, cloudy smoke soon filled the room.
The scent of the beginning of the year was very strong.
Not only did it smell strongly, but the tobacco put into the gombangdae was actually poisonous. The ivory herb, which was not easily handled even by the Sichuan Dang family, known as the master of poison and memorization, was a poisonous herb that, if properly processed, could create an extreme poison comparable to the intangible poison.
If you inhale that poisonous weed like smoking tobacco, your stomach will become a mess. It was obvious that even if you were a master of internal skills, the lungs would rot and crumble.
“Whoa.”
The amount of smoke exhaled was twice that of regular tobacco.
Strangely enough, the face of the old man who was inhaling the poisonous weed was becoming clearer and clearer. This poisonous plant seemed to act as medicine for the elderly.
“Weji Hoeju was opposed to leaving the epitaph?”
“It’s true that I don’t know exactly how to act. It seemed like I was belittling Master’s orders.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Even though it was a rather provocative story, the expressions on the faces of the two priests did not change.
“It can’t be helped. Everyone lives within their own common sense. You can’t really feel something beyond your imagination until you encounter it.”
There was deep regret in his voice.
Dan Lihu, who was quietly looking at the old man, asked,
“Are you all better?”
“You mean my body?”
“yes.”
“Don’t you know better? “You are the one who has been examining my body.”
“Based on the medical opinion, there is nothing wrong with Master’s body. Rather, the internal power is increasing even though there is no movement. “Phenomena whose cause is unknown are bound to cause great harm one day, but Master’s body is sufficiently complete to handle it.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right. “Aren’t you also controlling the possible explosion of internal power by burning the ivory reef?”
“Of course it is.”
“That is enough. As before, the result is the same in today’s Jinmaek. The internal force is increasing due to an unknown phenomenon, but the trend is very stable. The ivory reef not only prevents the internal force from exploding, but also prevents the increasing internal force from occurring. We are helping to guide people to their true energy.”
“⋯⋯.”
“There is no difference in performance between the true energy that has been purified through enlightenment and the true energy that has been amplified and compressed by itself. In the end, depending on what the Master does, it can be seen as a state that can go beyond all times or end up as the best of its time.”
“It won’t be the best of all time.”
The old man’s eyes deepened.
In the eyes as deep as the abyss, there was a fear that no one could see.
“I did not think that I would be able to see the greatest military force of all time in my lifetime. I just hoped that I would become the best and be remembered as an incomparable warrior.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But that day I saw. I became convinced of what it means to be truly invincible as I watched the martial arts skills of someone who had no rival under heaven. “Even if I survive here and gain talent, I will never be able to reach the same level as him.”
“Is that so.”
“That thought is still the same. Even though he reached heaven, he refused to ascend and continued to use his power. Even though I gained all the enlightenment that a human can achieve, I still tried to become stronger. “That would be impossible even for the legendary Bodhidharma or Jang Sam-bong.”
“⋯⋯.”
“After that I thought. “It is impossible to be the best in the past and present, so even if you lead numerous organizations and devour the world with the intention of becoming the clear best in the world, you will be helpless if a disaster of that magnitude strikes.”
“That’s right.”
“So I try to become the best both as a politician and a military officer.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And I will pass it all on to you.”
Dan Lihu bowed his head.
“Enjoy everything you deserve and go.”
The old man smiled.
It was a smile that he rarely showed even when he was at the top position in Moorim. There were less than five people to whom he smiled like this.
“Are your priests still closing?”
“The third child has arrived. It is estimated that other children will take several months longer.”
“The third one is fast.”
“yes.”
“After Dalpo, tell him to stop by the closed building again. That will be enough.”
“All right.”
“Even if all three of your priests were combined, how could they compare to you alone? “Please continue to work hard to move forward.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Whoa.”
In the room filled with smoke, it was now impossible to see even an inch in front of
the house. In the smoke, the eyes of an old, absolute master flashed.
“Take care of him.”
“All right.”
Dan Lihu left the room.
After a while,
he grumbled,
“Hmm, since I haven’t seen you, you have developed a strange hobby. Poisonous plants? “Have you learned any poisonous techniques at this point?”
“It’s been a while.”
“That’s true.”
“I don’t deserve to be treated well. Please understand.”
“I didn’t even want it.”
A middle-aged man sat on a chair.
“So what are you planning to do, hiding in this mountainous area?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Dam lord.”
Old man Dam Sa-yeong’s eyes widened slightly.
“Aren’t I the human called the poisonous serpent? I’m in the process of recovering from my body and body in order to regain my past glory.”
“You look too comfortable for someone who just gave you a consultation. I feel like I’m going to shake it off and get up at any moment.”
“Hehe. The Lord of Seong’s face is also bright. It’s so bright that you can’t even think of it as the face of a loser.”
A middle-aged man, Song Sang-baek, grinned.
Damsa-yeong, the peak of the martial arts faction, and Song Jong-baek, known as the Lion King of the Black Island, met again. It had been three months since the extraordinary disaster called Lee Cheon-sang shattered the Ui-cheon Alliance.
“The best person of all time has disappeared. Now, even if I go out on a rampage, no one will be able to stop me, right?”
“Is it really plausible?”
“Why did you call me?”
“Why would you call me?”
“I’m in a pretty good mood. But I still don’t like killing time with jokes.”
“Hehe, you’re still the same.”
Hook.
Dam Sa-yeong pushed her face toward the remittance bag. The thick smoke was pushed out, revealing a creepy snake face.
“Shouldn’t we finish the job properly?”
“What do you mean?”
“The disaster has disappeared, but the seeds of another disaster are growing. What’s more, the greatest monster in the history of the Demonic Cult, raised by that Banseon himself, has ascended to the position of leader.”
“hmm.”
“Weeds don’t die if you cut them down. You have to pull them out by the roots.”
Song Zheng Baek’s face hardened.
“Are you saying that we should kill the leader of the Seo So-gyo?”
“Will killing the monster end? I can’t even imagine how many eggs there are where the monster grew.”
“If you…?!”
Damsayoung smiled brightly,
“Let’s erase the demonic religion.”

Wijinobaek gulped.
Seoliang tilted his head.
“Is it difficult? I think it’s a much easier reward than coughing up a million gold pieces or losing your life.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Well, it was said that a merchant makes a living through credit. You are a major merchant who dominates the southern part of the central plains, so it will be difficult for you to give up your profits easily.”
That wasn’t the important thing.
‘Do you know? How?!’
Wijinobaek was truly embarrassed.
Even so, he didn’t know that he knew that Dam Sa-young was behind him. This was a top secret, and it was all thanks to Dam Sa-young that Gangseo Sanghoe was created in the first place.
If this happened , If it becomes known to the world, then it will be the real end. Not only will it be the end for you, but all the merchants who built the business together will lose credibility and fall
. It is said that a major merchant can make a living for several generations even if he loses credibility. But Dam Sa-yeong followed suit. The fact that he was watching changes the scale of the incident.
Wizinobaek, who had calmed down as much as possible, looked into Seoryang’s eyes.
‘Oh my…!’
Looking into the eyes and penetrating the other person’s heart was Wizinobag’s best skill.
But he couldn’t see it. Seo-ryang’s eyes were full of contradictory elements of transparency and ambiguity. Even if he lived another hundred or two hundred years, he wouldn’t be able to see through them. He was surrounded by a cloudy fog.
As if he understood what he was thinking, Seo-ryang smiled and said,
“Are you curious? “How do I know that?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Do you want to know? “Did you just pass it up or do you really know?”
Wisinovac, who heard those words, had no choice but to admit it. That the other person really knows everything.
“The dam leader…”
“So what about Dam Sa-young?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Keep talking.”
Wisinovac gritted his teeth.
“I can’t contact you from here first.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes lit up.
“It seems like they always contact you first.”
“⋯⋯Yes.”
“So what are you going to do? What will you choose as compensation?”
“Are you not going to touch it?”
It was a suddenly provocative question. Seoliang tilted his head.
“What are you not touching?”
Wizinovac’s eyes became increasingly bloodshot.
“If I help you connect with Lord Dam, you won’t touch Gangseo Merchants’ Association?”
Xi Liang smiled coldly,
“The merchant’s temperament is not going anywhere. Want to bargain with me?”
“It was the religious leader who gave us the choice.”
“yes. But just know. “If I get upset, I could make you look like a scarecrow right now and then take away all the funds from Gangseo Chamber of Commerce.”
“⋯⋯!!”
“Stop provoking me for no reason and make your own choice.”
Wizinovac’s cheeks were trembling.
Apart from his fear of the other person, his anger was rising. As the conversation continued to this point, he was about to gain courage that he had never had before.
‘Yes, I came here anyway, risking my life.’
The other person knows everything about him. He even has enough power to blow away all the monuments he has achieved with a single wave of his hand.
However, he may not know this much. Wizinovac is not an easy person. I was thinking of letting people know that although I am just prey, I am someone who can break off one of the legs of a wild beast in some cases.
“The leader cannot kill me. “You won’t be able to turn me into a scarecrow or steal funds from Gangseo Chamber of Commerce.”
Interest arose on Seo-ryang’s face.
Wizinovac spoke in an effortlessly calm tone.
“Before coming here, all trade routes in Zhejiang were blocked.”
“Hoo?”
“No one can solve it until it is my name. Moreover, the order is only valid if it is verified with my seal and secret handwriting.”
Xu Liang shook his head.
“I will block the trade route… If I touch you, does this mean that our school’s business will also suffer a significant blow?”
“That’s right.”
“You’ve prepared quite a bit.”
“You can’t just die.”
“Yes, that can’t be possible. But the truth is, your preparation was completely useless.”
“What did you say?”
Seoliang
got up from his seat.
“It’s a common mistake. Old Man Dam and Seongju Song were crushed because they didn’t know much about me and Master. I didn’t know that even you, a rare giant, would do something like this.”
“⋯⋯?!”
“If you’re going to deal with an enemy, you should know in advance how crazy the enemy is, right?”
I stretched out my hand to the head of Xiliang’s Wijinobaek.
Huaaaaaaa!
