“You speak a foreign language. Yes, that’s what you say. “Croak cologne.”
“How did you find out?”
The brothers haven’t even introduced themselves yet.
“This Blood Level Five Gates was created by Sosaeng together with those who know the secrets of heaven. A person like me can do quite a few things even if he just sits still. They say you can use it to find out the blood relatives of a revived person. Because the blood relatives of revival are special.”
He calmly said something that will not be easily forgotten.
Are Sima family’s blood relatives special?
“Anyway, a blood relative of a living person trains his body like this… What kind of nonsense is this?”
And I feel sad.
The three brothers thought at the same time as they watched the sickly young scholar in front of them grieve.
‘So what.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Ancestor Sang~ What are you going to do with me?’
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“Are you by any chance a member of the Sima family who served Wei during the Three Kingdoms period?”
“Chokkolok. That’s right. By the way… it looks like you’ve studied history quite a bit? “It’s different from the ordinary stone heads of Kangho.”
“There is no one who does not know the Three Kingdoms period. yes.”
Jin Cheonhee looked to the side for a moment.
Cheonwoo.
I don’t know much about history because I trained in martial arts in a shaman sect and read Taoist scriptures.
Sima County.
This guy’s major is business and assassination intelligence.
You may or may not know history.
This is the harm of a world without public education.
I only know about famous old stories and folk tales, but that’s about it.
There is no need to learn history unless you learn it at a seowon.
Moreover, the illiteracy rate in this era is over 90%, so how many people know history?
‘Besides, history is written from the perspective of the victor.’
The history books that are available only describe the Chinese Empire.
Most of them were created from the perspective of the Pung family.
“But even if that were the case, the family of Sosaeng would have probably fallen and dispersed by now. That’s why it’s so surprising that Sosaeng’s blood relatives came all the way here.”
‘If you look at it that way, there are as many Sima families as grains of sand, but I’ve never seen them have any power in the rivers.’
Among those with the Sima clan, there are a few who have advanced into government positions.
There is also ‘Sama’, the head of Baekrin Uigak acupuncture center.
Just that much?
If the Sima clan had formed a strong family, Sima Hyeon would not have lived like this.
While Jin Cheon-hee was thinking like that, something suddenly occurred to her.
Sima’se’ga.
There is no Sima Shiga in the powerhouse now.
There are quite a few people who use the Sima clan, but none of them have formed enough power to be called the Gangho family.
There may be a manor somewhere with a surname like the head of the village that made peach liquor.
However, I’ve never heard of a place with a power big enough to claim its name as a powerhouse.
“Was my family a great family?”
“Because it is a family that served Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period and had people who competed in wit with Zhuge Gongming.”
At Jin Tianxi’s words, Sima Xuan made an exaggeratedly surprised expression and Sima Jin, a bachelor, nodded.
“You learned history really well. “Where are you?”
“My name is Jin Tianxi, a disciple of Zhuge Dynasty.”
“I was suspicious when I saw that look in his eyes, but… he really is Hyeonwonjeondanshingong. I see that people other than the Zhuge clan have mastered that cursed martial art. Did the Zhuge Dynasty also become extinct?”
A feeling of displeasure appeared in Jin Cheonhee’s eyes.
“Absolutely not.”
Jin Cheon-hee’s words became shorter.
“Oh my… I guess Sosaeng made a mistake. okay. Stop chatting. The ordeal on these three levels is to compete with this body. You are already in the six-pronged three-way line created by this body…”
Pajijik! Quack!
As Sima Jin continued speaking, sparks flew everywhere and explosions occurred in various places in the stone chamber.
“no!?”
“I solved it.”
And Jin Tianxi was smiling coolly and looking at Sima Jin with bright blue eyes.
“Just as martial arts have developed over a long period of time, so have the fighting techniques.”
‘and. ‘You’re angry.’
While Sima Hyeon was looking at the scene again.
“Oh, that’s unfair. “The things I put all my effort into preparing were reduced to ashes in just a moment…”
He then left behind his resentment toward the Zhuge family.
Either way, Jin Cheon-hee said, ‘What should I do?’ I looked at it with these eyes.
Sima Jin’s divine form crumbled into powder and disappeared.
“ruler. let’s go.”
What on earth was my ancestor doing?
Sima Xuan thought about it, but immediately erased the thought.
He doesn’t even perform ancestral rites for his parents, let alone his ancestors.
‘Heh~ I guess I’m Mr. Sima.’
Sima Xuan didn’t even trust his parents.
It’s not uncommon for people to change their names when they settle down in a village after doing something rough outside.
Sima Hyun sneers slightly.
Now the group headed to the fourth floor.
* * *
“Welcome, challengers. “I am the eldest swordsman of Kendogeuk Changgon!”
“I am the second demon!”
“We are five and one, one and five! “This body is extremely noble!”
“It doesn’t matter what your number is. “This Changgui will deal with you, so everyone, come at us!”
“Only by defeating all of us, including Gongwi, will we be able to go to the next floor!”
Five twins were standing there.
Quintuplets!
It’s also surprising that they are holding different weapons.
Just like their nicknames, they also hold five weapons, including swords, spears, and spears.
“No matter how you look at it….”
“Five people will make the cut. brother?”
“No matter how many of you there are… you are more than us!”
The three brothers are dumbfounded.
But in the end, this too is clearly an ordeal for this blood-level 5 civil servant.
It’s obvious that you won’t be able to go down unless you overcome the group competition rules they enforce.
In the end, a bloody battle between three and five was about to begin… but…
Kwasik! Crash!
As soon as the fight between life and death began, Sima Xuan grabbed Kun, broke him, and threw him away.
In an instant, one of the successful candidates collapsed!
At that moment, Jin Cheon-hee’s Taeeuldanseongeom technique pierces through the forehead of one of the five, Geukgwi, at extreme speed.
“Third! “It’s the fifth!”
While the guy holding the sword was screaming.
Cheonwoo approaches and extends his hand.
A spear demon rushed to the side of the first sword demon, who was shocked, and attacked his palm.
However, in that split second, Cheonwoo returned his hand and instantly struck Changgui’s solar plexus.
Taegeuk Ildo’s beatless attack!
pop! With a sound, it flies all the way to the window and gets stuck.
In an instant, three out of five disappeared.
“Aaaah! “You bastard!”
and.
The remaining two were also sorted out in an instant.
They turn into powder and disappear.
Now the torch has turned into a huge fireball.
“I feel like the first Executive Director Eon was the strongest.”
“….”
Cheonwoo muttered, looking at the brighter flames.
“It’s because of compatibility. In fact, if it were normal, they wouldn’t have been so easy to defeat. Moreover, even though they basically looked like humans, they were all of Diamond City level.”
Geumgang City.
It was a monster that lightly ignored the level of sword energy.
“So, is it the last floor?”
The three headed towards the last floor.
* * *
It was called the blood layer Omun-gwan.
So it is natural that the next floor is the last.
Therefore, the three sworn brothers went ahead nervously.
So far, there hasn’t been any engine diagnosis that could be called a trap, but who knows?
Because it might be down there.
however.
When they went down the stairs and reached the last floor.
There was no trap, but something foreign welcomed the three.
First of all, there were gears and mechanical devices moving everywhere, with no idea what they were being used for or why they were working.
There were also countless pipes attached to the walls, occasionally emitting steam with a hissing sound.
‘It feels like I’m in a steampunk world… Wasn’t it a Jiangshi specialty at some point? Why is this happening all of a sudden…”
“We ended up here. “Welcome back.”
The head of the family, Ungwon, was standing on one wall of such a strange space.
There was a jar behind his back, and black steam was coming out of the jar.
“haha. Judging by the fact that no one was seriously injured… it looks like they broke through easily. amazing. “It’s really amazing.”
Eon-kwon bursts out in admiration.
He could have been angry because all his tricks were being ruined, but his smile was sincere.
A strange atmosphere that ordinary people can never understand.
Seeing that, Jin Cheonhee’s expression turned cold.
“Mr. Why did you do this? A powerful poem for thousands of civilians. Not all the people inside were alive, and it absorbed the vitality of the people living in the entire city of Jinju. “What on earth are you trying to achieve by colluding with the Blood Mission?”
A simple question that is neither sarcastic nor sarcastic.
It puts people to sleep and takes away their vitality.
It turns the dead into jiangshi.
It seemed like it wasn’t just about dealing with Kang Ho-in or paying money to the bereaved families of those people.
If that were the case, someone would definitely have noticed something was wrong.
Are you really planning to devour the entire castle and start a rebellion?
Or are they trying to become a killer by carrying out large-scale human sacrifice?
There is no way to know. Although I don’t know.
Despite Jin Cheon-hee’s serious tone, the head of Eon-kwon looked peaceful, just stroking his beard.
A truly strange sight.
“hmm. “First of all… I’d like to say that some things are misunderstandings.”
“Are you mistaken?”
At those words, Eon-gwon’s corpse-like face smiled.
Truly the smile of a dead man.
As most people who encounter ghost stories do.
If an average person had seen it, they would have had nightmares for the rest of their lives.
“It’s ridiculous that the Blood Mission and the main family colluded. Isn’t the main family a prestigious, fair, and fair political faction? “How do you view the original family that has been around for over a thousand years?”
Madness.
However, this was again unexpected.
“However, there were a few instances where they made one-sided contact with us. They sent some secretaries. “But I didn’t join hands with them.”
“So, are you saying that all of this is someone’s arbitrariness?”
“I see. But my family didn’t want to do something like this either. “Would you believe it if it was an accident or something?”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee was silent for a moment.
At that time, Cheonwoo steps forward.
“Mr. “How can something like the massacre of civilians be an accident?”
“Don’t just say that. “Because this was force majeure even for me.”
Someone said that and took his hand off his beard.
“The history of the main family is handed down from Galhong, who became Sihaeseon. “Because the progenitor of my family was a disciple of Galhong.”
“It’s not like I suddenly want to know your history~”
Sima Hyeon quips.
Then Eon Ga-ju waved his hand and said.
“There is a reason, so listen. How far did it go…. Ah, yes. Galhong had many disciples and left behind many secretaries. “The founder of the main family was one of those countless disciples, and he had a great interest in magic and oral magic rather than training.”
“….”
Jin Tianxi gives Sima Xuan a slight glance.
It means to wait and see what he is going to say.
‘You’re just trying to collect information~’
There are always clues in even the words of a crazy person.
Normally, it’s hard to understand the meaning of crazy things by listening to them, so I just kill them.
Sima Hyeon nods.
‘Brother, that’s possible.’
Eon Ga-ju continued speaking, paying no heed to the signals exchanged between the two brothers.
“okay. It is said that he lived for about 200 years after starting his family. “Isn’t it amazing?”
“Hoo, are you two hundred years old? “That’s really interesting.”
Jin Cheon-hee sets the rhythm.
Even if I didn’t really become a immortal, it was quite surprising.
In this era where average life expectancy rarely exceeds 30, 200 years old.
Isn’t this a normal thing, unless you have figured out a way to artificially reverse old age like Bloodseng Nogae or drank an elixir of eternal life like Tugoe?
“It seems that the founder wanted his family’s blood relatives to continue to prosper before he passed away. That’s why I created this ruin. That’s how the blood-layered osmotic tube was created. A relic that exists to protect the main family when it is in danger. “It is here.”
When Jin Cheon-hee heard those words, she was able to roughly guess what was going on.
It was a leap, but I came up with a plausible hypothesis.
“I guess stealing the vitality of the citizens out there is also the supernormal ability of this bloodless civil servant. To collect a large amount of vital energy. So… are you saying that the opening of this blood-stomach duct was an accident?”
“As expected, you are a disciple of Hyeolrin Gwangsal. That’s correct. It was an accident. This place that should never move has moved…”
Heh heh. And Eon-kwon laughed.
And then we started talking again.
“First day. When the first bell rang, all the Gasols who had not learned the martial arts of their home family were immediately killed and their life was sucked out, turning them into jiangshi. “It was hell.”
He laughed and walked away.
“When the second bell rang, even those who had learned martial arts collapsed and vomited blood. When the third bell rang, there was no one alive inside, including me. “Do you know what that means?”
“….”
When Jin Cheon-hee could not answer easily, Eon-kwon muttered.
“It looks like your brain has already reached the answer. But it looks like he’s afraid to speak. You are so funny. “It seems strong yet soft, yet soft yet strong.”
Soon, Eon-kwon spoke in a cheerful voice.
“It means that we have become jiangshi with all our souls and whites remaining. “How could this not be surprising and painful!”
A Jiangshi with all his soul and white left!?
Jin Cheon-hee asked amidst everyone’s astonishment.
“A Gaepajosa installed such a crazy item?”
Jin Tianxi suddenly remembered what Sima, who had just died, had said.
-This Blood Level Five Gates was created by Sosaeng together with people who know the secrets of heaven. People like me can do quite a few things even if I just sit still.
To protect Jinju?
really?
