The invisible fight is scarier (2)
The Immortal Army, which had its first battle in the Daebyeol Mountain Range, headed to Cheonjung Mountain (???) in southern Henan Province under the guidance of Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong did not go down to the county even once while heading to Cheonjung Mountain. He strictly insisted on the mountain path and practiced divine law until there were people who were exhausted and unable to move.
On the third day of hiking the mountain path, Mukbi asked.
“Is there a reason to only ride winding mountain roads? “I feel like I’m going in circles for no reason.”
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
“Because we have to exclude contact with anyone other than ourselves.”
There were many people who had not yet recovered from the shock of their first real battle.
There was nothing better than staying together to calm our minds and get closer to each other faster.
Yeonhojeong did not stop there.
When I took a break, I talked about various things with people in the military.
Everyone pretended not to, but there were many people who secretly found it difficult to see Yeon Ho-jeong defeating the enemy.
He clearly distinguished between himself during battle and himself in everyday life. And we encouraged a lot of conversation and empathy so that people could naturally accept that side of themselves.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s efforts paid off faster than expected.
After about five days, there was not a single person left among the warriors of the Mortal Army that was afraid of or ignored Yeonhojeong.
Yeonhojeong was strong. However, it was also very playful and yet strangely adult.
Yeonhojeong’s unique nature that he could not show during the time of Emperor Heukam.
Conversations with her family, life at Yeonga, and her belief in herself have all changed Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong, the Emperor of Darkness, who lived a fierce life, has finally returned as the eldest son of the true Yeon family.
A few more days passed when the Mortal Army entered the eastern end of Cheonjungsan Mountain.
“Commander.”
“why?”
Dongho hesitated.
Having just recovered from the shock of his first murder, he has not yet regained his former vitality. Still, I made sure to ask if it was something I was born with and couldn’t help it.
“But who is our next enemy?”
“I don’t know now.”
“yes?”
“You will be contacted separately by Hu-gae. Until then, we will not engage.”
“So then where are we headed?”
“I told you, it’s Cheonjungsan. “It’s all there now.”
“We thought there was an enemy in Tianzhong Mountain, but that’s not true?”
“of course.”
“Then what do we do?”
Dong-ho’s questions were everyone’s questions. All of the Mortal Army looked at Yeonhojeong with eyes full of wonder.
Yeon Ho-jeong stretched out three fingers.
“It’s three months.”
“yes?”
“For three months, we will maximize your practical skills.”
“…!”
“The next problem is whether the Mortal Army can move as one. “If we’ve moved around comfortably so far, we need to make sure we can use it as a useful fighting force from now on.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled confidently.
“how is it? Are you ready to become a real powerhouse?”
There was no answer. But their eyes were burning like flames.
Although their living environments, skills, and dreams were different, they all had one goal in common.
It is to train the martial arts they have learned so that they can be used in the powerful martial arts world.
“If you’re ready, let’s get started. “I tell you in advance, it will be very difficult for three months.”
* * *
The pouring snow and the sharp wind like a knife were slowly disappearing.
One month, two months passed and three months passed.
The wind that had chilled my bones became a warm spring breeze, and what touched the air with that spring breeze became flower petals, not fierce snowfalls.
“Wow.”
Zhuge Yan couldn’t help but admire the beautifully colored mountains in the distance.
“It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful. Is not it?”
“Iknow, right.”
“How is spring in Hebei?”
“It’s not this refreshing. “It’s a weather that strangely makes you cough.”
“okay?”
“yes. Well, it’s still better than winter. “Winter is really cold.”
“I have never been to Hebei before. I’ll definitely have to stop by sometime later. “If I go, do I have to buy you something delicious?”
“Of course. Please take good care of me later when my brother and I stop by Hubei.”
“Don’t worry, Gomtaeng.”
“….”
“what’s the matter?”
“Can you not call me Gomtaeng?”
“Anyone can see that it’s a bear.”
“Then can I call my sister fox?”
“What’s not to do?”
When I confidently said it was okay, I actually ran out of things to say.
Pang Man-ho snorted.
“That’s good. Fox and bear? “Doesn’t it seem like something out of a folktale my grandfather told me when I was young?”
“I don’t know.”
“No, you know that. “The cunning fox tricked the bear…”
“I remember we weren’t a family that had enough time to sit on my grandfather’s lap and listen to stories about old times.”
“That’s strange. “Didn’t you hear something like that from Zhuge Dynasty, a treasure trove of knowledge?”
“When I was five years old, I took the Thousand Character Gate and immediately entered the Four Books and Three Classics. “I didn’t have time to be mesmerized by old stories.”
“It gives me goosebumps. “Isn’t that too cold-hearted?”
“It was like that back then. not now but.”
Certainly, Zhuge Zhen’s expression was refreshing itself.
Pang Man-hao shook his head.
“Jun is probably dying by now.”
“He must be receiving education in Sogaju. Shame on you, you damn bastard.”
I don’t know why people call me a teacher, but I should be jealous of Sogaju getting an education.
There was definitely something unique about Zhuge Zhen. He was as quick as a ghost and knew a lot, but he didn’t seem to have any power or grand dreams.
‘Well, I guess that’s the same for me too.’
His twin brother, Paeng Dae-ho, was a typical hero. On the other hand, he was closer to a heretic who hated troublesome things and just wanted to live freely.
Pang Man-ho suddenly thought of Yeon Ho-jeong.
‘I hope it’s fun.’
The person named Yeon Ho-jeong whom he met at the late index meeting left an unforgettable impression on him.
I don’t know anything else, but there was one thing he wanted from Yeon Ho-jeong.
pleasantness.
That joy can be either a side of exhilaration or a side of eerieness. But for some reason, I thought I wouldn’t be bored if I refueled Gangho with him.
“Anyway, I think you need to speed up now.”
“huh?”
“It’s already past noon.”
“Cough! Run, Gomtaeng!”
“I told you not to call me Gomtaeng!”
Faaagh!
The two men and women’s magic was quite fast.
The two passed the village entrance and entered Cheonjungsan Mountain at once and entered the vicinity of the agreed upon point.
However, it was difficult to determine the exact location. This is because the lush trees and flowers in full bloom obscured the view.
Pang Man-ho quenched his appetite.
“This is it. Why did you choose a place like this as a meeting place…”
“There it is.”
“yes?”
“There you go, Gomtaeng. “Can’t you tell just by looking at it?”
“It’s more interesting that I know you just by seeing you. But everything over there is blocked. “No one can tell.”
“What a frustrating bastard. Follow me, man. “I’ll teach you a lesson.”
“uh? uh? Are you really going? I don’t think it’s there? Are you really going?”
Suddenly, Pang Man-ho’s eyes, who had been following Zhuge Zhen-yeon, widened for a moment.
‘What is it?’
A slight breeze passed through the tangled trees.
Zhuge Yan pointed his index finger at the tree trunk.
“It’s a shame, I would have found it sooner if I had come up from below. Gomtaeng, let’s cut all of that.”
“yes? ah! yes!”
Huh.
Pang Man-ho pulled out a heavy sword from behind his back and swung a powerful blow.
Bababababaak!
As a strong wind blew, the strong tree trunk was torn apart and blown away.
Zhuge Yan whistled.
“Business, business. “Isn’t it worth using some strength?”
Pang Man-ho wordlessly rolled up his sleeves and exposed his biceps. The muscles that stood out like mountain peaks shined brightly in the sunlight.
Zhuge Zinc’s evaluation was harsh.
“dirty.”
“….”
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes fox.”
“It’s okay to call me fox, but I wish you would always call me sister.”
“Yes fox.”
“Later, we have to lock you up in the camp for three days…”
“Go in, sister.”
“OK.”
Two people entered between the tree trunks.
Although they bickered as if it were a joke, Pang Man-ho was deep down admiring Zhuge Zhen’s insight.
‘How did know?’
As I exited the narrow cave-like space, a large empty space appeared in front of Samjang.
It was an empty lot with a beautiful view, but it was a place where the wind had a hard time blowing through.
Since there is no wind, the air flow is extremely small. Of course, the flow of energy moving along that flow is also difficult to notice.
‘The way you look at the world is different. This cannot be done unless you see things from an extremely three-dimensional perspective.’
That trained eye wasn’t just useful for finding directions quickly.
It will also be of great help in predicting the enemy’s movements or forming a strategy using terrain features.
Another world that Pang Man-ho did not know about. The world seen by military strategists was so mysterious.
“Anyway, it looks like he hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Come soon.”
“I guess so. Because time is running out…”
“That’s not true.”
Zhuge Yan looked at the eastern peak.
A small smile appeared on her lips.
“You made the appointment right on time.”
“yes?”
It was then.
‘…!’
Pang Man-ho’s face hardened.
‘What is it?’
Thick dust rose from the tip of the eastern peak in the distance.
And the moment when the dust becomes noticeably larger.
Pabababak! Ujikkeun! Pow!
The trees lining down from the tip of the peak began to collapse one by one.
You may be looking at it from afar, but in reality it is probably collapsing at an alarming rate. Every once in a while, a loud noise that shook the ground would break or shatter three or four trees.
And after a while.
“…hmm.”
Wooooow!
The closer the distance to the dust cloud becomes.
The quiet air in the vacant lot began to shake violently.
The strength of the wind changed. The air in the vacant lot was heating up due to someone approaching explosively.
Finally, the two people caught the sight of the person running in front.
Zhuge Yan smiled, and Pang Man-ho’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.
“It’s also noisy.”
Paaaaang!
Now, every time I hit the ground with my toes, I could even hear the sound of air exploding.
The person approaching at great speed was a young man wearing tattered clothes. Even though he was running with a huge ax strapped to his shoulder, his speed was as fast as the wind.
Pow!
Finally, Yeon Ho-jeong hit the ground and stopped in front of the two people.
Zhuge Yan raised his hand.
“If I come quietly, who will curse me? What is so urgent….”
Sararak.
At that time, there was a woman coming down from high in the sky.
Although it wasn’t as dirty as Yeonhojeong’s, her clothes were also quite dirty. However, the unique strong yet gentle movements created a surprisingly mysterious atmosphere.
Sabak!
Mukbi descended leisurely and landed two steps in front of Yeonhojeong.
“It’s faster?”
“What are you going to say? This is what happens when you leave so late? “You’re crazy.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment.”
Yeon Ho-jeong raised his hand towards Jegal A-yeon.
“Hey, it’s been a while?”
“…uh? Ugh, it’s been a while!”
“Look at the stains on your skin. Do you even apply powder now?”
Zhuge Zhenyan chuckled.
“My skin was originally porcelain?”
“You’re laughing.”
Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand at Jegal A-yeon, who was about to speak again.
“hang on. “The kids are slowly arriving.”
No sooner had Yeon Ho-jeong finished speaking than about fifty men and women appeared.
The faces of Zhuge Zhen and Pang Man-ho, who were looking at them with puzzled eyes, soon became stained with bewilderment.
“Aaaah!”
“Oh oh back! Oh my back!”
“Wow! “Gasp!”
“Stop this now… I want to stop living, no, I want to stop.”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…”
Every single one of the men and women who staggered to the clearing collapsed on the spot. It seemed they didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.
Zhuge Zhenyan felt dispirited.
Pang Man-ho whispered carefully.
“By any chance, were all the warriors of the Mortal Death Army recruited from the public?”
