Dawn is coming.
It was so early in the morning that there were still some remnants of the moonlight that had illuminated the long night.
There were people who worked diligently from that point on. Those who have learned the art of seeing and can move freely even in dim light. He is wearing a Tang family military uniform.
They climbed Mt. Cheongseong the previous day, took a rest in a relatively intact building to avoid the night dew, and then searched the headquarters of the Black Sands before dawn. I moved early because I thought it would take quite some time, but surprisingly, it didn’t take long to find what I wanted.
Due to the secret power of Heuksaryun leader Yoo Gil-jun, and the true Black Sasang (黑蛇掌), the main body of the Blacksaryun was severely destroyed to the point where even the ground was collapsing. Most of the pavilions failed to maintain their frames and were almost buried under dirt and stones. However, the warehouse with a lot of treasures maintained its shape relatively intact, perhaps because it was built sturdily or because of the wealth that was filled inside. Even the signboard was properly hung for easy recognition. It’s called ‘bogo (寶庫)’.
There were originally quite a few corpses around, but they had been removed by the guards. He said that he probably encountered trouble while protecting the report. Of course, that wasn’t everything. Jeon Yeom-myeong remembered that there were a lot of people who fled in this direction after confirming Yu Gil-jun’s death.
Could it be that he was trying to gain a share of his wealth along with his life? In any case, I could confidently say that there were no survivors at that time. He also used his senses to search for the surviving black people and stabbed them all one by one.
That’s it…
Since there was no one guarding it, the door to the report was opened so easily that it seemed like a waste of time. Although there were thick doors, locks, and chains, all of the Tang family members gathered here were warriors capable of manifesting sword energy. When several of the guards’ warriors approached and waved daggers with swords instead of keys, they immediately revealed their true intentions.
“Huh.”
Bongwi Daeju Party Wonjin is greatly surprised and lets out an exclamation. The others were no exception. It was full of things that sparkled even with a little light. Coins made of gold and silver were common. Even at a glance, it was filled with items that seemed rare. Elaborate statues in the shape of spiritual creatures, weapons decorated with multi-colored jewels, and objects with spirituality engraved with unknown characters…
It made me wonder if all the wealth of Sacheon was gathered here.
“I expected the accumulated wealth to be enormous, but this… is truly beyond imagination.”
“I heard he expanded his business by pledging his military education.”
Yeon Myeong nods his head as if agreeing with Party Wonjin’s admiring words. The way Heuksaryeonju Yoo Gil-jun called upon power was famous. It is said that for those who have pledged loyalty or have achieved meritorious deeds, it creates a martial arts style that is just right for them or changes the martial arts they had originally learned to achieve higher achievement. It is said that after Sacheon became apostolic world, it became not easy to make achievements, and such martial arts sergeants became rare.
The thirst for learning of the martial arts people – especially those who had no way to obtain proper learning and had cultivated martial arts on their own – was immeasurable. The fact that the Great Master of the Sado Martial Arts personally created a Martial Arts that suited him or modified the Martial Arts so that he could achieve higher achievement would have been a sufficient reason to pay tribute faithfully. Perhaps there was even competition among those offering tribute.
Since that period lasted more than ten years, it may not be strange for this amount of wealth to be accumulated in the treasury of the Black Soul headquarters. Moreover, Yoo Gil-jun, the leader of the Black Snake Alliance, was a frugal person, and although he chose to rule, he did not significantly expand the size of the Black Snake Alliance headquarters. This means that although he has a large number of subordinates under his command, it would not have cost much to maintain them.
The enormous wealth accumulated in this way was taken over by the Tang family as a result of the Great War.
Party Wonjin was not good at counting, but he thought that with this much wealth, he would not have to worry about the family’s finances for at least several decades. The bright smiles of the people in the General Administration Department, who were struggling due to the ever-tight budget and unexpected costs that arose from time to time, were a sight to behold.
Dan Won-jin said with a slightly flushed expression.
“First of all, how about moving these? If you’re going to move it down the mountain, it might be a good idea to start moving now. Sogaju”
“Don’t be impatient. Wonjin. In any case, it will take some time for the main family members to come here with a cart or carriage.”
“…I see. I was a little excited. I thought these were things that would be of great help to my family.”
“Okay. “I fully understand your feelings.”
Yan Yanming said with a slight smile. Not only the party members but also the entire guard unit felt some sense of responsibility for the revival of the family. He was unable to properly protect his family during Ma Gwang-cheon’s invasion, and he was also unable to protect it when Dokbong Tang Ji-hye, the head of Soga, was dethroned on the spot. So, calling himself a sinner, he hid at the foot of the mountain for several years, suffered hardships, and waited for a new master.
To them, who believed that the only way to atone for their sins was to put the family back on the rock, the fact that Yeon Myeong, the winner of the Sogaju competition, was the son of Dokbong, the master they had previously served, must have been so thrilling that it was considered fate. And so, Yeon-myeong, who became the head of Soga, showed great inaction and finally brought down Heuksa-ryeon. Moreover, it has become clear that Gaju and Sogaju have ascended to the Hwagyeong side by side. Now the force was enough. Now that they have secured their financial power, they must be excited at the thought that all that remains is for their family to soar.
“I will leave it to you, Wonjin, to clean up this place.”
“Yes. Sogaju.”
Well then, I’ll look around a bit and come back – said Yeon Myeong and walked away.
Soon, under the leadership of Party Wonjin, members of the Party, including the Bong Guard, began carrying or carrying the treasures of the Heuksaryeon treasures one by one.
Before I knew it, the dawn was starting to rise in earnest.
Meanwhile.
Yeon Myeong was wandering around the collapsed temple with his thoughts. It had no particular meaning. If it were other people, they would actively dig up the wreckage in case they found the martial arts of Yu Gil-Jun, the master of black snakes, but Yeon Myeong already possessed the martial arts of the Sword Demon and the martial arts of the Tang family in one body. Although the martial arts of Heuksaryeonju were certainly extraordinary, there was no guarantee that they would suit Yeon Myeong. All martial arts have their own unique qualities that serve as the basis for their true power. Just as there is a significant difference between the Geomcho Island (殲) when it was not possible to apply the nature of defeat to the Dokyoucheong Madness and the current Geomcho Island (殲).
That is why warriors are related to clans or Bangpa. Because they have the same roots. It is a group of people who have learned common martial arts.
So, the martial arts of Heuksaryeonju Yoo Gil-jun is not helpful to Yeon Myeong. Unless he throws away everything he has built up and learns his martial arts from scratch. Finding any clues in terms of imagery alone would be the limit.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I should have sang a little more!’
Yeon Myeong was now thinking about the contract he had made with his partner.
A battle between the Heavenly Demon Church, representing the Demonic Way, and Kunlun, its long-time enemy.
Sunmanchihan (脣亡齒寒: If Kunlun is gone, your teeth will be cold), he said that if Kunlun falls into ruin, Gong will be next, so Gong wants to strengthen Kunlun. Please do not allow the apostolic forces of Sacheon to target the empty hollows during the Battle of Bangbae.
Originally, Hyeonso and Taeheo had demanded the participation of Yeon-myeong, who had a memorized military knowledge of mass destruction, but they were unable to narrow down their opinions on Yeon-myeong, who demanded a much higher amount than they had expected. In the end, a reasonable compromise was reached by handing over three armed forces led by party elders.
What they agreed to receive from the group in return was a huge sum of money, enough to sustain the entire party for a year. At the time, I thought it was an attractive offer and accepted it, but as things turned out, I didn’t feel like I was moved at too cheap a price.
Because I had a decisive battle with the Black Snake Lord.
Moreover, the 2,000 Sapa warriors who had gathered at the Sacheon branch had also been annihilated. It was as if the apostolic power existing in Sacheon had been weakened as a whole. I don’t know, but there may be places that have been hit close to extinction. Not only the military, but also the succession was lost.
‘No matter how much you think about it, it’s a losing business. If someone from the community comes, we will have to discuss compensation again. If you want to maintain a friendly relationship with your family, I’m sure they’ll listen to you to some extent!’
As Yeon Myeong was walking around looking through the rubble in his thoughts, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The ground collapsed – so there was a space that was revealed. Should I really say that it is an underground cavity? He took out a shuriken from his pocket and swung it. The pile of seals was cut away by a sharp sword, and an entrance was soon created.
Yeon Myeong took a step and went inside.
‘It’s a library!
There was a peculiar smell of old books. A large amount of paper and ink, and the scent that emanates from them as they age for a long time.
However, there were actually only a few books in the library. There are less than ten volumes in total. It was strange considering the size of the library and the strong smell that still lingered.
‘Originally, I kept quite a lot of books! ‘
Thinking like that, Yeon Myeong picked up a book that looked relatively new.
It is written in a simple font. Written by Yu Gil-jun
Of course, I read it carefully from the first page. In the introduction, the personal history of Yu Gil-jun, who is familiar to anyone living in Sacheon, was briefly written, and the story naturally got into the main topic.
―Life is a series of repayment and repayment. I have lived with the saying, ‘Doubling the favor, doubling the resentment tenfold’, engraved in my heart from a young age. And finally, he avenged his grudge using the martial arts skills he had accumulated based on his innate qualities. The bastard who dared harm the person who gave me the name, I destroyed Cheongseong, which had embraced him and sent him out into the world, and even cut off Ami and Jeomchang, who had supported Cheongseong to the end. However, my enmity was deep and deep, and even if I killed them all, my anger was not relieved. Also, if their uneducated skills are secretly being passed down somewhere, they could dream of making a decent comeback in the future. I wanted to completely destroy their uneducated nature before erasing it from this world. It may be meaningless, but I believe there is no way that the roots of a bastard that has existed for hundreds of years can be uprooted so easily. This is a kind of entertainment, a mockery and contempt that I can send to things that have already disappeared…
Just like that, the writing reached its end.
As I read, I learned a few things.
This place was originally a place where a vast collection of martial arts from Cheongseong, Ami, and Jeomchang were collected.
And Yu Gil-jun seemed to have researched and compiled a law to destroy those martial arts scholars using his own qualifications. If the Daebangpa, which was now part of the six sects in the mountains, found out about it, it would have been so shocking that they would have frowned at it. Yoo Gil-jun, the black magician who is said to be free to create and change things – because he made a decision to destroy Taoism and unwritten martial arts.
From the looks of it, it was not a law against individual martial arts. This can be seen from the fact that the number of books remaining is less than ten. Perhaps it is written about a way to fundamentally destroy the martial arts of Taoism and Buddhism. It was great confidence. With just that, they can overthrow the old faction, Muhak, who has reigned as a great faction for hundreds of years.
-It was only that shallow. The ignorance of those who pretended to be noble and belittled others.
That’s how Yu Gil-jun’s writing came to an end.
