［I say this out of old age… ]
While Yeon Myeong was climbing the mountain, the food spirit Heong Heong spoke to him.
［You probably know the term 人中龍］
There’s no way you wouldn’t know. Since ancient times, it has not been rare to compare extremely talented people to a dragon. Her mother, Dang Ji-hye, was also called Dokbong (毒鳳) in her younger days. Even now that she has become the head of the family, she is often called that.
Although he did not know his natural name, at this moment he himself was called Dark Poison Geomryong (暗毒劍龍) and his name was becoming known throughout Sichuan. Perhaps the fame will soon spread beyond the province. The fact that he had reached the level of enlightenment at his current age meant that he was an engineer of the Buddha’s world, like the Black Sagittarius or the Magic Light Heavenly Ju. It is something that deserves the attention of the public.
Anyway, Yeon Myeong suddenly showed interest in the topic of hearing.
‘What do you want to say?’
[It may sound like nonsense, but dragons are real.]
‘Right.’
Yeon-myeong accepted it without any sign of surprise. On the contrary, it is embarrassing to hear that the words were spoken so seriously. If dragons, which are usually thought of as imaginary beings, are real, wouldn’t you at least question them?
However, before Yeon Yeom-myeong had already lost his sense of hearing as a food spirit, he had read a record about reading Tang gossip at a poison addiction reading school.
Wherever the Ten Thousand Years of Fire live, in all likelihood, the Fire Dragon also lives there. As with all dragons, Hwaryong sleeps a lot and usually sleeps quietly, but once it wakes up, it cannot overcome its violent temper and destroys the surrounding area. It deserves to be defined as a disaster that clearly harms royalties. They harm people by spitting out breath hotter than lava, and this breath is trapped and liquefied using magic, called Hwaryonghodok. The Fire Dragon Tiger Poison is the most powerful among the ten poisons….
The tribe called Yong is a kind of being between a spirit being and an imamangryang, and ordinary martial arts does not apply to them. You have to be strong enough to inflict a small amount of damage, and even that is quickly recovered. In order to easily kill such a dragon, the most efficient way is to inject the poison of the dragon killer into their stomachs…
What Yeon-myeong came to mind was about Hwaryongho poison (火龍呼毒), which is the three poisons among the Tang gossip poisons, and Yongsal poison (龍殺毒), which is the eight poisons (毒). There was a common mention of a dragon. At the time, it was thought to be an absurd story, but right after that, he met Cheong Heong, an imamangryang, and took him as a food spirit. Naturally, I thought it wouldn’t be strange if there were dragons.
‘So, why did you bring up the story about the dragon? Even now.’
[As I said, it was due to old age, but…]
My hearing became blurred for a moment. She originally had no intention of talking about dragons. At least not yet. In the first place, the existence of a dragon did not appear that easily, and especially if it was a young dragon that had a human form and played around, it was right to treat it as a human rather than a dragon even if it were encountered.
If it weren’t for an incident that directly involved Yeon Myeong like this, he wouldn’t have come forward.
‘If this guy dies, I too will disappear.’
Hearing, which became a food spirit, was dependent on its owner, Yeon Myeong, for its very existence. In other words, when Yeon-myeong dies, Hearing, the food spirit, also ceases to exist. Although Yeon-myeong was stronger than expected, the dragons were literally alien beings. If my name dies in vain, that will be the end of it, so I felt the need to give him sufficient attention.
Hearing continued.
［A guy named Yoo Gil-jun, the Black Snake Trainer. Maybe he is a dragon.]
“what?”
This time, Yeon Myeong must have been quite surprised, so he stopped walking and asked back in a voice. Wasn’t it recorded in the records that a dragon was something between a spirit being and an imamangryang? I thought he was something with his entire body covered in scales, horns on his head, and spitting fire from his mouth.
He must have suddenly wondered what this meant, suddenly thinking that the black snake training spell might be a dragon.
[Of course, it may not be true, but considering his ridiculous qualities, the possibility is not entirely out of the question. Is it possible to understand the principles of Muhak just by looking at it, and to change and invent it as freely as breathing? No matter how you look at it, aren’t these qualities beyond the realm of humans? Moreover, it went beyond the terms and conditions and went to Hwakyung… Hmm.]
Heong-gak continued speaking and then stopped as if clearing his throat. As a food spirit, the way he speaks is to convey his thoughts, so there is no need for coughing or anything like that. I was just confused. Originally, I was going to say that the Black Snake Lord, who had reached the realm of peace beyond the terms and conditions, was beyond the realm of humans, but as I was talking, I realized that there was something even worse than that, someone who had already reached the realm of peace before the terms and conditions were extremely close.
[… Above all, unlike you, his origins from birth are unclear. One day he suddenly appeared as if he had fallen from the sky. And it was picked up and raised by a man called the leader of the Black Sapa. He regarded the person who raised him as his biological father, so to take revenge, he exterminated the Cheongseong faction that had been established here on Mount Cheongseong for hundreds of years. In just a few years.]
[Dragons are beings born from the energy of heaven and earth coming together. It’s not a spirit thing or an imamangryang. According to what the radiographers said, it doesn’t appear often. Maybe once every hundred years? This is because even though we live for a long time, we spend most of our time asleep. However, once they wake up, the surrounding area is completely devastated. If even a small country were located nearby, it would be destroyed in an instant. Many countries that had been strong since ancient times disappeared in vain because the dragons had awakened like this.]
It was an amazing story. The reason why there are not many traces left of countries that flourished in ancient times and the reason why countries that were strong enough to be called empires collapsed was because of the appearance of dragons. Isn’t this truly a disaster itself?
[Probably, if it weren’t for that guy, this country wouldn’t have prospered. The saying that the nation’s fortunes had run out was widely spread. It is said that beings with foresight usually predict the appearance of dragons and spread such words. However, that Muyeonggaek mobilized his warriors to eliminate the imamangryangs who were causing harm to the world, and even brought out the sleeping dragons and killed them all. Thanks to this, the current imperial dynasty could have been maintained for hundreds of years.]
‘If the energies of heaven and earth were born together, wouldn’t it be an auspicious being?’
[There are auspicious uses, too. A blue dragon that controls thunderclouds. It is said that the blue dragon, also called the good dragon, plays a role in restraining the evil dragons who commit destruction and slaughter. If you continue to leave it alone, the royalties may end completely.]
‘It’s a blue dragon.’
Yeon Jeong-myeong muttered as if he found it interesting. How many people know in detail about the ecology of dragons? This is probably a fact that I know because I am a hearing expert who has lived for hundreds of years.
[However, the only blue dragon that existed died at the hands of a martial artist who was ignorant about dragons at the time. He’s a monster. At that time, I didn’t even have a body. It is said that the poison from the dragon salgal, obtained from somewhere, was injected into the blue dragon’s stomach. Because of that, there was a conflict with the radiologists. Anyway, in the end, Muyounggaek first acknowledged his mistake and resolved the matter by punishing the evil dragon instead of the blue dragon.]
My curiosity soared. To what extent was Muyeong-gaek’s inaction, his ancestor, enough to slay the dragon that was said to destroy the country?
And if it were his own sword, would he be able to deal with such a dragon?
Hearing continued.
[According to the masters, what determines whether a good dragon or an evil dragon is the experience of being a sub-dragon. They also say it’s entertainment.]
‘A dragon? ‘Are you talking about when you were young?’
[okay. The dragon that was born from the energy of heaven and earth does not have any awareness of itself as a dragon at first. It has to be that way. Right after he was born, he even looked like a human. As he goes through his growth period, he becomes entangled with many people and experiences various things. Normally, since your natural talent is far beyond the human realm, you will live a life that attracts attention. Then, Arong becomes attached to the few people who have a direct relationship with him. He could be family, a friend, or a lover.]
[Ah Dragon makes every effort to ensure that the few people he is attached to can be happy for the rest of their lives. If nothing happens until they grow old naturally and die, there is a high possibility that the sub-dragon will later become a good dragon. You become a blue dragon that rules over thunderclouds and protects royalties.]
‘The question is, is it if anything special happens to those few people?’
[yes. Ah-ryong’s obsession is at a scary level. The moment the person you came to cherish for the first time in your life is unable to enjoy a full life and is turned into a lowly person, you are deeply shocked. You may also become aware of the existence of a dragon. Negative emotions such as revenge, resentment, resentment, loss, and desperation trigger the sub-dragon to shed its human mask and transform into an evil dragon. Even if they are evil dragons, they are beings created by gathering the energy of heaven and earth. Even if they are not thunder energy, they are the energy of the five elements: fire, water, wood, gold, and earth. It becomes a being that can manipulate one of its qualities omnipotently.]
Yeon Myeong seemed to know why there were so many evil dragons. No matter how much of a dragon he was, life in this world was not something he could do as he wanted. Even those who have a certain amount of power and power often face downfall due to unexpected events, and unless they are living in hiding somewhere in the deep valley, it may be more difficult than you think to allow the people you are attached to to fully enjoy heavenly life.
And I also seemed to understand why the hearing said that the Black Snake Lord Yu Gil-jun might be a dragon. Fragmentary information about him flashes through my mind.
His relationship with the leader who raised him during the Heuksapa era.
Revenge on the Cheongseong faction that killed their leader.
The qualities of a great master far beyond the realm of humans.
Achievement of the six apostles, including Sangmyeong-il, the Guhwan High School Prosecutor.
Yoo Yeon-hee, the black snake known as Geumji Ok-yeop of the Black Salyeonju.
And the deaths of Sang Myung-il and Yoo Yeon-hee.
•• • •
I had a hunch that something was fateful.
The Black Snake Lord Yoo Gil-jun may be a dragon, just like Heung-cheong said!
[If he awakens to his dragon self, it will be a difficult fight. There would be no compromise by handing over that woman. Their obsession with the humans they targeted when they were subdragons is beyond imagination. Perhaps, if they tried to vent their anger, the entire land of Sacheon would be devastated. He probably thinks of Sacheon as a kingdom he built with his own hands.]
‘Does it turn into a dragon? ‘Throwing off the human mask.’
[That may be so. Maybe not. It is said that even when the leader of the Black Death Sect, whom he regarded as his biological father, died, he maintained his human form and took revenge. I heard that he built up his military reputation through years of hardship. I think it’s probably because there are quite a few other people I’m attached to who are still alive. I don’t know what will happen this time.]
‘Can you tell if the Black Snake Runner is a dragon? Even when in human form.’
I asked Yeon-myeong, just in case. If you had the ability to hear, wouldn’t you be able to tell whether the other person was a dragon or not?
[possible. The reason the martial arts hero took me around in the first place was to obtain a supply of extreme poison, but it was also to find the existence of the dragon. Even if you don’t meet him face to face, you’ll feel his presence when you’re nearby.]
“It’s become more useful.”
[what?]
Hearing asked as if he was shocked by Yeon Yeon-myeong’s words, but Yeon Yeon-myeong had already started climbing the mountain again, lost in his thoughts.
In any case, regardless of whether Yoo Gil-jun, the Black Snake Lord, was a dragon or not, the meeting could not be avoided in order to resolve this situation.
And if he’s a dragon…

‘I guess I’ll have to kill him even if it’s too hard.’
It is a being that has a high possibility of becoming an evil dragon anyway.
Geomshin, or rather, Dark Poison Geomryong, was not the type of person to leave regrets behind.
As Yan Yanming climbed the mountain, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
