Chapter 1538 – 1538. Map of Ascension
Baek Mu-han kept an eye on the strangers who came to the village while steadily accumulating good deeds as required by the Gaegwacheonseon system.
There are only three strong masters in this small town. I was very concerned about what they would do.
If one of them goes crazy and goes on a rampage, the village can do nothing but be slaughtered. There was such a difference in power.
‘Did you say Choi Kang Ji-gon in particular? That bastard! Why are you flirting with someone else’s grandmother?!’
The person Baek Mu-han could not understand the most was Seong Ji-gon.
His grandmother, Bi Wol-ryeong, said that when she was young, her beauty was the best in her village. Okay. She was quite a beauty when she was young. But she wasn’t there now. The flower that thrilled the villagers has already withered. Not a single fragment of her beauty remained.
‘What if he’s not flirting with her grandmother? What if they have other plans?’
Baek Wuhan rolled his head. He desperately thinks of Sung Ji-gon’s purpose.
‘I don’t know. What the hell does a master like that want? It’s not like they want an old inn like this.’
The more you don’t know, the more vigilant you are. He continued to monitor Sung Ji-gon.
“It is not good to spy on others. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.”
“You stupid system bastard! Will you give me a proper answer if I ask you outright? That guy… Ugh!”
Baek Wuhan grabbed his head and collapsed on the floor. The system inflicted terrible pain on him.
“Use the right words and kind words. And love knows no time or age. They may be genuinely in love.”
‘Dog sound!’
If Seong Ji-gon had been an old man like Bi Wol-ryeong, Baek Mu-han would have understood. But he was young to the Holy Land. He was a young and handsome master. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for Seong Ji-gon to love Bi-Wol-ryeong. Bi Wol-ryeong doesn’t even have much of her wealth.
‘I’m sure there’s something I’m aiming for!’
Thus, the surveillance of Baekmuhan continued.
It was one evening, three days after Sung Yu-jin and Sung Ji-gon came to visit. I witnessed a shocking sight of hundreds of people drawing water from a well. It was the sight of Bi Wol-ryeong and Seong Ji-gon kissing behind an inn.
‘This crazy!’
This time it was not an accident like the last time. They were hugging each other tightly and kissing each other.
“Love does not discriminate against age. It is a beautiful sight.”
The Gaegwacheonseon system enhanced the nature of Baekmuhan. He says he has no personality himself, but at times like this, I doubted if the system was not human.
‘No! That would be a trick too! In the Heavenly Demon Church in my previous life, there were those who would do anything for a purpose! They even eat poop! Anyone who can kiss a granny….’
Baek Mu’s mind, which had been pouring out his idle thoughts, turned white.
Their love affair was not limited to kissing. They undress each other….
‘Aaaaa!’
Muhan Baek watched for a while and then ran away. His brain was rotting when he saw what his grandmother did that he did not want to know or see.
‘Crazy. It’s crazy!’
『Cheer for the beautiful love of your grandmother.』
“Shut up, bitch!”
『Right words, kind words.』
“Euuuuu… !”
Baek Wuhan spent the night struggling in his pain.
Baek Moo-han, who entered the kitchen early in the morning, met Bi Wol-ryeong. As usual, Biwolryeong was preparing breakfast with wrinkly hands.
“Are you awake? Prepare some dough.”
“Grandmother….”
“Why?”
“No…. Nothing.”
Baek Wuhan shut her mouth tightly. Looking at Rain Wol-ryeong smiling happily, she couldn’t even speak about yesterday. I wonder if just pretending not to know is for non-Wolryeong.
‘… Maybe sooner or later we’ll have a young grandfather.’
“It is the birth of a new family. Congratulations.”
‘Shut up!’
Muhan Baek followed Jigon Seong. He wanted to find out what the Holy Land Gon was doing exactly.
‘No matter how skilled I am, I have the Heavenly Demon Art.’
Cheonma Ghost Treasure (天魔幽靈步).
Baek Wuhan completely erased his presence and moved like a ghost.
And he made a terrible discovery.
‘This crazy! That granny is the granny next door!’
It was a grandmother with mild dementia. He sometimes thinks he’s a rich girl. Seong Ji-gon treated the old woman next door like a rich girl. And I went into a dark alley….
‘Crazy, crazy, crazy!’
Baek Mu-han stroked both of his arms that had goosebumps. He’s seen all kinds of crazy people in his past life. The Cheonma Shinkyo was the den of madmen, and Baekmuhan was also said to be the king of madmen. But I’ve never seen such a crazy person.
‘The place of the old woman openly… Ugh fuck… !’
The tailing continued.
Seong Ji-gon met all the old hags.
‘That’s the old woman who runs a linen store! Over there is an old woman digging for herbs! A drugstore old woman!’
No, it wasn’t just the old woman that I met.
He even met Aunt Shinmura, who was rumored to be a yokai in the village. Aunt Shinmura, who always says to the villagers, “You are piled up,” Said the same line to Sung Ji-gon.
“You are piled up.”
“You are very sharp.”
The two entered the house.
Baekmuhan ran away. Beyond this he could not see the deep abyss. Returning to the inn, he witnessed another dizzying scene.
Biwolyeong and the old woman next door were fighting, tearing each other’s gray hair.
“This year! How dare you tail our Jigon?!”
“Heeeee! On the subject of inn or running!”
The hags who were famous for getting along with each other were fighting over one man.
Baek Mu-han felt that the village was starting to become strange.
“Human relationships are really complicated. Stop them before it gets into big trouble.”
Moo-Han Baek, who dried up the hags, summoned Seong Ji-Gon, who had returned to the inn, to the back of the inn.
“How… What the hell are you doing in town? Stop! Don’t play with our town any longer! Say goodbye to all your grandmothers too!”
“Why me? I have never committed any particular crime.”
“… I’ve seen him having relationships with a lot of old women. Are you saying it’s not a crime?”
“They didn’t reject me. I love them, and they love me too. It’s not your business to interfere.”
“It’s called love… ? Anything like that?”
“You think you can’t love because you’re old? It is all prejudice and discrimination.”
“…….”
Bai Wuhan was at a loss for words. It was because the face of his grandmother who smiled happily these days came to mind.
The system’s words that love doesn’t care about age kept ringing in my ears.
•••
Myeongwol and I continued to patrol the village. Seong Ji-gon was busy swinging his lower leg while meeting the hags one after another like a fish in water.
I found the traces of the gore demon.
It’s the carcass of three chickens.
“At first glance, it can be seen that wild beasts killed the chickens, but if you look closely, you can see that there are holes in the body. These are the traces of the scurvy demon’s venomous swordsman.”
“There’s a hole in the torso, but there’s no blood.”
“I sucked and drank chicken blood. A gore demon is a magician who trains while drinking blood. The chickens died not too long ago. I think there’s a gore demon hiding in that mountain. What do you think?”
“If you search the mountain, you will find out.”
We decided to climb the mountain.
“Eugene Sohyup. After you find and kill the devious demon, give me its corpse.”
“What are you going to do with his body?”
“Try to burn. Do you know the Four Kings?”
“I’m a strong person, but I don’t know about the Four Kings. Is the Four Kings involved in this?”
The Four Kings.
It is an alliance of the Sapas led by the King of San, the King of Sea, the King of Gwon, and the King of Sal. It is a force that cannot be ignored even if it is weaker than the Murimmaeng or the Heavenly Demon Goddess.
“The monster is from the Four Kingdoms. I know you stole the treasure of the Four Kings and ran away. The wounds inflicted by the demons were also caused by the Four Kings’ tracking party. The small man saw with his own eyes the fight between the chasing party and the scurvy demon.”
“Are you trying to hand over the body of a bloody demon to the Four Kings?”
“No. I’m planning to burn the corpse of the gore demon myself. The tracker initially tried to capture the nerd. Then they said that they must take the corpse, probably because it was difficult to capture alive.”
“In the end, you were annihilated by a gore demon? There must be something in the blood demon’s body.”
“Exactly. The small person decides that it is best to burn the corpse of the bloody demon.”
We stopped while talking in the mountains.
Because they found the bodies of dead birds. All the birds vomited blood and died.
“The poison remains.”
I remember when Dangso was eating. I still miss the thrilling poisonous energy that invaded my body.
‘It’s not as pleasant as Dangsoso’s miasma. It’s like mud sticking to your body.’
Me and Myeongwol turned their heads. The miasma could not invade and fell to the floor.
Myeongwol raised her head and looked at the trees.
“I think the branch is broken. These birds flew and fell to the ground, struck by miasma. The gore demon was probably testing its own strength.”
“Looks like I’ll be seeing him soon.”
About an hour passed.
We found a gore. The gore demon was dead. The lower half of the body was missing, and half of the upper body was cut off. Look at the dismembered cross section of the body. Crudity. It wasn’t cut at once with a bladed weapon like a knife.
“It’s the work of a monster.”
I said. It was a bit embarrassing. In the original story, Myeongwol was injured while fighting the gore demon and ran away. And Baek Mu-han steps forward to deal with the gore. It was an opportunity for Baek Mu-han to become involved with the Four Kings.
“… The important thing is not that. Even though he is injured, he is a strong man of Ogi. That there is a monster on this mountain that is enough to kill such a monster. We’d better take the remaining bodies and burn them. If you burn a corpse here, you can catch the eye of the youkai… Wait, what are you doing?”
I drew my sword and pointed it at Myongwol. Sparks flickered from the blade.
“Myeongwol, the lightsaber, one of the greatest non-partisan disciples. You will die here fighting the bloody demon.”
“…… Were you an assassin who came to kill me? I don’t think it’s the Four Kings… A demonic cult?”
“Listen to the sword. The shaman faction’s two-way sword and two-way sword. I wanted to try it once.”
Myeongwol’s eyes sank. He put his sword in his hand and moved his inner strength. The sword shines. He was a little different from causing a strong qi. It feels like the sword itself is shining. Literally a lightsaber.
“The small person is half. Originally, Yangui Singong should handle both Yang and Yin simultaneously, but a small person can only handle Yang. It’s because of the constitution of a small person’s extreme limb. Lightsaber. It’s a good nickname to hear, but it’s a disgraceful nickname for a small person.”
“I heard that you are the best among the shaman’s disciples. Don’t let me down.”
