Episode 121 Realizing myself (5)
When a person witnesses a situation that is beyond the scope of understanding, his or her body freezes in shock.
Everyone here was like that. It was beyond common sense that Seo-ryang defeated the family head, but the presence of an unknown beast that appeared next to Seo-ryang threw everyone into a state of panic.
Slurp. Slurp.
The huge tail constantly swings from side to side.
Its golden, furry tail was taller than Seoryang’s height. The long legs were also long enough to resemble those of Seoryang, who was quite tall.
Compared to the length of the legs and tail, the body was not that large. Still, it was larger than an average leopard and slightly smaller than a tiger.
And the face.
I wonder if the most sacred beast in the world looks like this. The sharply stretched snout and nose, mysterious blue pupils, and large ears stretched back were attractive.
Although the size is daunting, the overall appearance is very noble. It had a unique appearance that looked like a fox at first glance and a wolf at another.
However, everyone will agree that it creates an atmosphere so captivating that anyone can’t help but fall in love with it once they see it.
Even if there was a torn human head hanging from the snout.
Slurp.
Xi Liang stroked the fox’s head.
The fox closed her eyes and laid her head on his arm. It was a sign of friendliness.
“…!”
The faces of the people who were in shock soon turned to fear.
A huge fox shows friendliness by holding a person’s head in its mouth. That sight caused extreme fear in those who saw it.
What a cruel sight this beast, which is so beautiful that we are moved beyond admiration, will show when it harbors murderous intent.
Even if it was a surprise attack, how awesome was the power of that beast that even killed Hong Sang-ho, the owner of the family, in one fell swoop.
“Kumho.”
Crumble.
Geumho softly cries his neck.
Hong Sang-ho’s head fell and rolled on the floor, but no one paid any attention to it.
“Welcome back.”
The Geumho did not bark as cutely as before. He just watched Seolyang with eyes as deep as the abyss and quietly showed friendliness.
‘That’s fascinating.’
surprising. I couldn’t understand how a precious or spirit object that was as big as a person’s forearm could grow so large in an instant.
It was just comfortable. So much so that you can naturally accept these changes that go beyond common sense even when you see them with your own eyes.
Sarah.
Geumho sits with his hind legs folded. The tail, which is larger than the body, still soars into the sky and flutters.
Even when he was sitting, his height was so high that it reached Seoryang’s chest. When looking at that mysterious appearance, three letters came to mind: ‘Guardian God.’
Seo-ryang turned his gaze to Jang Woo-hwi.
Jang Woo-hwi swallowed his saliva without realizing it. Even though he had lived a rough life and was full of experience, he never thought that something like this would happen.
No, anyone would do that. Even now, when I look at that huge fox, I can’t tell if it’s a dream or if it’s real.
“Say it again.”
Saaaaagh!
A faint haze rose from Seo-ryang’s body.
With the appearance of Geumho, the turbidity in the body was draining away at an alarming rate. My head, which had been dizzy due to excessive blood loss, became clear, and the Guyumaggi, which had been bubbling like lava, became quiet.
Even the poisonous energy injected by Hong Guan did not dare to go on a rampage.
“What did you say you were going to do with us? what? “Do you want me to make a judgment of suitability for inspection?”
“….”
“Do you still have that thought?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Jang Woo-hwi.
Burr.
My clenched fist was shaking. He had never been so afraid of people’s gaze in his life.
“You guys are just thinking wrong. The matriarch and I seem to think that you have the upper hand in our relationship. “Is it because this is your territory?”
“….”
“As befits people working under the head of the family, your proposal was wrong from the start. You are in no position to make suggestions in the first place. “I don’t know if it’s a favor.”
“…!”
Knock. Knock.
Purple blood dripped drop by drop from the tip of Seo-ryang’s index finger.
The poison injected by Hong Guan is mixing with the blood and coming out. Seoryang’s body, which had assimilated with the spirit energy of Geumho, was now like an impregnable fortress.
Let’s go!
Red lightning erupted from the solar plexus in concentric circles, covering the entire body. Finally, Gu Yuma-gong regained his original power.
Woooo!!
The midsection of the solar plexus shook violently.
As the body recovers, magic quickly normalizes. Some kind of energy that was firmly embedded in the middle part of the bowl became an inexhaustible fountain of spiritual water, revitalizing the martial arts itself.
Xiliang finally realized.
How much terrifying energy is latent in your body. Why is this spirit creature, which is only mentioned in myths and legends, able to communicate with itself through intangible energy?
‘Youngjuk!’
The deepest part of the bamboo forest.
The energy of the small bamboo shoot that was at my feet when I first saw the golden tiger as a cub was completely trapped in the middle of the day.
It’s not an energy that can be melted away right now, in case another realization comes later.
However, even if you achieve enlightenment, there is no need to dissolve it. Isn’t the extremely pure spiritual energy protecting the middle and middle walls, changing the body to its optimal state, and even continuously deepening the concentration of true energy?
Seoliang looked back at Geumho.
Geumho was still watching Seoliang with mysterious eyes.
‘I see.’
These bamboo shoots are like the core of an ancient bamboo forest.
Although the amount is not large, it itself plays a central role in supporting the ancient bamboo forest. And thanks to these bamboo shoots, Geumho was able to serve as the owner of the ancient bamboo forest.
‘That’s what I took away.’
In other words, Geumho did not follow himself. He was simply following the core of the bamboo shoot that was sleeping inside his body.
There was a hint of regret on Seo-ryang’s face.
‘I don’t know when, but if I can find such a way, then I will give you this energy back.’
Did I read those eyes even if I didn’t say anything?
Geumho rubbed his head on Seoryang’s shoulder. It seemed like they didn’t follow him simply because of the bamboo shoots.
Seo-ryang, who was smiling, turned his head back to Jang Woo-hwi.
“Now that you’re in charge, why don’t you make a decision?”
“….”
“Make a path. As Gwangma Daeju said, armed conflict will bring you the worst results.”
“But what about the main family’s ledgers…”
“Bring them back. Right Now.”
“….”
“Don’t try to hide what happened here. I just want transparent cause and effect as it is. The same goes for inspection. “I will report what I see right here and now.”
Confusion appeared on Jang Woo-hwi’s face. I really wondered if that would work.
‘Maybe Lee Ga-ju’s reckless behavior could have produced better results? I’d rather be here…’
That was then.
Crumbling.
Jang Woo-hwi, surprised, looked at Geum-ho.
The bridge of Geumho’s nose was wrinkled. When it was still, its majesty seemed to pierce the sky, but when it distorted its face, it looked more ferocious than any beast in the world.
Jang Woo-hwi swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth.
“…All right.”
There is nothing I can do now. The head of the family is on the brink of death, and the head of the family has been decapitated by an unknown beast.
I don’t know if they were enemies, but they were not enemies. As Gamchalsa said, in the grand scheme of things, Jeoksa was just an organization under Shingyo.
If you try to find your pride… you will truly walk the path to extinction.
“Have the heads of each department bring back three years’ worth of ledgers.”
Xu Liang smiled.
Although Gu Yumagong has returned to normal, he is still tired due to serious internal and external injuries. However, his heart was calmer than ever and was burning quietly at the same time.
Because he finally knew what he really wanted.
Because it was only now that I was able to clearly see what kind of person I was and what my condition was.
After a while, all my departments brought their own ledgers.
It was clear that looking at the ledger would take a very long time. Just checking the books of one department would take up half a day, and needless to say, if the number of departments is more than a dozen.
But surprisingly, Seo-ryang did not spend more than a little time checking three years’ worth of ledgers for one department. Even without that, he was good at speed reading, and his reading skills improved greatly, enabling him to understand things quickly.
In addition, the time was drastically shortened by activating the super-gogwan (super vision) of the heavenly state.
“Great Lord.”
“Yes, inspector.”
“Are you ready to write down?”
“I prepared a pencil in advance.”
“Write it down. After checking the ledgers, there are some errors, but it does not appear that most of the departments were involved in the corruption with Hongwimoon. But…”
Seo-ryang looked at Hong Yeo-rin standing in the distance.
Hong Yeo-rin lowered her head without realizing it.
Her face, just like Jang Woo-hwi’s, was stained with fear as she had quickly escaped the short and noisy uproar. I didn’t even dare to make eye contact with Seo-ryang.
“There is a big error in the ledgers of Naewon Geumhwa Department from three years ago and two years ago. “When looking at the flow of funds, it appears that someone was stealing them in the middle.”
Hong Yeo-rin’s complexion turned pale.
“A proper investigation is impossible under the current situation. We recommend a return visit as soon as possible for a detailed investigation.”
“It was written down.”
“Send it to the main school as is.”
“yes.”
After shaking the letter to dry, she rolled the paper into a small container. Not only she, but several members of the Gwangmae Corps also wrote letters with the same content and placed them in a container.
Now, these three letters will be delivered to a nearby branch and immediately sent to the main body of the Protestant church. Jeonseo-gu, raised directly by the Heavenly Demon Church, was faster than any other bird.
Xi Liang stretched out both hands.
Wooooow!
Yongrindo and Chilyado, which were lying far away, were caught in hand.
He wore the Yuseong twin swords on his back and the Chilya sword on the right side of his waist belt, and the Yongrin sword was draped over his shoulder.
Seo-ryang, who was quietly watching Jang Woo-hwi, swung Yongrin-do.
The target was Hong Guan.
Sigh!
Blood spurted from Hong Guan’s mouth.
Jang Woo-hwi’s complexion turned blue.
“What are you doing!!”
“do not worry. “Because there is no danger to your life.”
Xu Liang smiled coldly.
“But if you don’t treat it right now, the demonic energy I infiltrated will attack the head’s dantian. “If you take action quickly, you will end up losing a little bit of your strength, but if you take action too late, you will lose most of the strength you have built up throughout your life.”
“…!”
“That means you have no birds to chase after us. “Please do everything possible to treat the family head.”
Xi Liang wore the dragon sword on his back.
“Think of it as a device for each other’s safety.”
They seemed confident that they could never be touched. Xiliang coldly turned his back.
Jang Woo-hwi gritted his teeth and looked at Seo-ryang’s back.
Soon he spoke as if sighing.
“Make a way.”
So the group boarded a carriage and leisurely set out for Jeoksa Temple.
Within half a day of moving in, one of the Chilga houses was reduced to rubble.
