Chapter 370
Episode 370
The night deepens and the moon becomes more vivid in color.
When I looked at the scenery using the blue light that illuminated the mountains swallowed up by darkness as a lamp, it felt like I was looking at a painting.
Namgung Sohye realized.
Why is it that spending time on a late night like this without lighting a bonfire makes me feel so at ease?
It seemed as if darkness encompassed everything, and the strange air and atmosphere made me feel as if I was in another world.
Of course, if only one person is quiet.
“Haha! So, didn’t you open that guy’s butt and slap him?” Cheon Mu-kwang, who was drinking, looked very happy. There’s no way he’s drunk, but it’s probably not an illusion to look like he’s drunk.
Dan Woo-hyeon was constantly listening to all the stories. Cheon Mu-gwang, who has been talking non-stop for several hours now, is amazing, but Dan Woo-hyun, who is taking it without thinking, is also amazing.
Namgung Sohye shook her head.
“Anyway, I never thought the day would come when we could talk and drink like this.”
Cheon Mukwang took a sip of his drink and exhaled. All kinds of thoughts passed through his mind, and afterimages of the past rolled in like waves.
“Hasn’t this happened before? “My brother, I, and the older woman gathered together and talked about various things.”
“You talked to yourself just like now….”
“Hahaha! I’m sorry. “But didn’t you say a word or two?”
“Juryun did it, not me. “Stop making fun of your snout.”
Cheon Mukwang burst out laughing.
Now that I think about it, it felt like I constantly heard stories about people talking a lot. Then, there was a time when I had a huge fight with Nam Joo-ryeon, and I was cursed to death by Tae Gong-jin.
The smile disappeared from the corners of Cheon Moo-kwang’s mouth, who had been laughing for a long time.
Eventually, he took another drink and put it down.
Before I knew it, my eyes were on Dan Woo-hyeon
.
“Now that I think about it…”
“What is it?”
“How did you get out?”
A strange current flowed between our gazes.
I felt a tremendous amount of pressure, like a tense tug-of-war between two people.
Namgung Sohye broke out in a cold sweat.
Soon, Dan Woo-hyeon opened his mouth.
“Uh…”
“Well, don’t say you don’t know. Please tell me. Ah… it really makes me curious.”
Cheon Mukwang cleared his throat and frowned. He made a somewhat blank expression, but then slowly opened his mouth.
‘Can’t you hear?’
However, Namgung Sohye could not hear anything. There was no doubt that Cheon Moo-kwang was saying something, but I couldn’t even hear what he was saying.
The situation was so surprising that I was at a loss for words.
“No, think about it. All of the Eight Immortals rushed in to do this. “They wasted almost all of their power just to devise a spell and infuse it with power.” “That’s why the three of us tried our best to break the seal, but it didn’t work, and in the end, my brother lost his strength and died there.”
Not only Cheon Mukwang, but even the Eight Immortals of the time and the current Eight Immortals did not think that the seal would be released. No, in the first place, the martial god Dan Woo-hyeon should have died hundreds of years ago.
The magic formula was designed that way, and a considerable amount of energy was expended in concocting the spell and sealing it. Therefore, the Palseon at that time, whose strength had not been restored, were pushed out by the current Palseon and the system changed.
But he survived for a thousand years in that seal?
Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t even seem to be affected in any way.
Even if he survived, he should have broken down his heart and mind after being alone for a thousand years. However, it was strange that Dan Woo-hyeon never looked worse than before, and it was better than before.
How on earth did humans come into being and make such things possible?
That was what Cheon Mukwang was most curious about.
“It’s mental strength.”
“Let’s play and then fall asleep.”
Cheon Moo-gwang frowned at the answer he heard.
You’re saying nonsense. No matter how strong your spirit is, no one will be able to endure such a situation. Surviving for a thousand years in the cold ice with just your mental strength?
Not only the Eight Immortals, but even Chen Mu-gwang, who is here, would not be able to properly endure even for ten years.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and opened his mouth.
“I didn’t want to think anything, I didn’t want to feel anything, I didn’t want to see anything.”
“…Is that possible?”
“Then, I gradually began to see and feel things.” Cheon Moo-kwang widened his eyes.
Don’t the words Dan Woo-hyeon just uttered mean that he has literally overcome a wall?
Even so, he was a man who had no rival in the world, so if he had even overcome that wall, who could possibly overcome him?
Cheon Moo-gwang clenched his fists even as the corners of his mouth trembled.
It was as if they were looking at a wall they could never overcome and were burning with their will to win.
Even though Dan Woo-hyeon knew that, he just accepted it without thinking.
It is the gaze of the Absolute looking down from above the sky, as if it knows that no matter what it does, Cheon Mu-gwang cannot surpass itself.
“So you climbed over the wall? “Even though you haven’t even climbed to heaven?”
“If it can be said that it has surpassed the wall, then so be it. It could also be just such an enlightenment.”
“I’m not asking you to answer a zen question…?”
Cheon Mukwang grunted and frowned. Although I couldn’t believe everything he said, I thought that maybe Dan Woo-hyeon could do it.
As I thought about it, the corners of my mouth trembled again.
‘It can’t be possible, right? ‘A thousand years is no child’s play, so no matter how much you realize and overcome it, how can you break it and get out?’
Even if one achieved countless enlightenments and overcame the wall, it was impossible to escape without breaking the ice created by the Eight Immortals.
So, does this mean that Dan Woo-hyeon found a way to destroy it?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon and Cheon Moo-gwang’s gaze turned at the same time.
Swish!
Namgung So-hye didn’t seem to know anything, but the two realized a strange sound coming from a very far away and stood up.
“come.”
“yes’?”
Namgung So-hye, who was just standing there blankly, looked surprised at the sudden words. Eventually, I turned my head towards where they were looking, but it didn’t feel like anything was approaching.
“What are you doing? Stop it.”
“yes?”
Cheon Mukwang muttered.
Namgung Sohye tilted her head as she couldn’t understand what that meant.
Stop it?
what?
The moment when you tilt your head and laugh at something you don’t understand.
wickedness!
Something appeared in the hall.
It looked like a blue doll wearing long robes. Or can it be said that it is a doll itself? They are made of wood, from their faces to their visible arms and legs.
Twenty just by sight.
However, considering the sounds that continued to be heard, it seemed like the number would continue to increase.
Namgung Sohye broke out in a cold sweat.
“What is this?”
“Can’t you tell by looking at it? “It’s a doll.”
Dan Woo-hyeon answered with a smile.
But Namgoong Sohye also knows that much.
No matter where or how you look at it, it is a doll. But how can a doll move so freely?
“There is a subordinate who always follows Ryu Hwa-gun like a shadow. “He’s a guy who makes dolls and fights for him.”
“…is that possible?”
“Can’t you tell by looking?”
Namgung Sohye smiled awkwardly.
I’m asking because I can’t believe it even though I’m seeing it with my own eyes. The thing in front of you certainly looks like a doll, but if you look at its movements, it is no different from a human being.
“Are you a friend of Dan Confucius? “There are only strange people.”
“As much as you.” Namgung So-hye looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a shocked expression.
No matter where I look, I know a lot of people who are weirder than Dan Woo-hyun.
Doesn’t just looking at Cheon Mu-kwang over there make you act a little empty-headed?
She sighed and slowly pulled out her sword.
“Are you saying I have to deal with these people?”
“okay.”
“But Confucius will go somewhere else, right?”
“okay.”
“Will you go even if I die?”
“okay.”
“Ha… okay.”
Namgung Sohye nodded with resignation, as if the answer had been decided anyway. I have to do what I have been told to do.
Also, since Dan Woo-hyeon ordered it, there must be a reason.
The time has come for Namgoong Sohye to test her limits again.
“Then I’ll take charge of this. “Go anywhere.”
“I think so.”
Dan Woo-hyeon and Cheon Moo-gwang quietly turned their backs.
Although it would not be easy for a woman to stand alone against so many dolls, Dan Woo-hyeon’s actions were unstoppable.
Cheon Mukwang, who was looking at it, opened his mouth and whistled.
“Are you okay? “That girl might die?”
“This is not a child who will die like that.” “Hehe… do you know that too?” “okay.”
Cheon Moo-gwang looks quite surprised by Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.
Since I was a person who had never trusted anyone until now, I could hardly believe every word he said.
Additionally, Dan Woo-hyeon’s words also reached Namgung So-hye’s ears.
‘Do you believe me? yes?’ I don’t show it, but I definitely believe it.
I left it to you because I thought it wouldn’t die.
If so, it means that this can be accomplished. Because it was guaranteed by Woohyun, not anyone else.
She tightened her grip on the sword and increased her momentum.
“ruler! “No one can pass through here anymore!”
I gained momentum and strengthened my resolve.
Cheon Mukwang, who was walking slowly, heard a sound coming from behind him. The angry cries of a determined woman resonated with me, and I started laughing without even realizing it.
“It’s simple.”
“That’s right… that’s why it’s fun to make fun of it.”
“Are you teasing me?” When Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t say anything, Cheon Moo-gwang shrugged his shoulders. Eventually, the two people stopped in their tracks and turned their heads in different directions.
“I’m sure you don’t want to kill that girl,
so am I here?”
“Then am I over there?”
“It doesn’t matter either way… I think it will be easier this way… You don’t have any intention of giving in in the first place, do you?”
“Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon and Cheon Moo-gwang looked at each other and nodded. Opposite to each other, one side is where the puppet master is and the other side is where Ryu Hwa-gun is.
It’s still weak, but I can feel its presence, so I won’t miss it.
The two people, who were leisurely looking in different directions, were smiling and in an instant, their new faces disappeared.
All that was left in that place was a gentle breeze.
