Episode 118 After paying the price of time
I asked as I saw the Sword Demon take out a long sword that he had not taken out even when fighting the leader.
“Sir, what kind of sword is that?”
The Sword Demon answered.
“It’s an ancestral sword. “I don’t use it very often, but I have to take it with me in times like this.”
“The name?”
“It’s a sword of light.”
It is a sword name that does not go well with the nickname Geomma.
Is there some kind of story?
Even though I thought that he would most likely refuse, I suddenly made an unreasonable request to the Sword Demon.
“Senior, can I take a look at your sword?”
The left master, somewhat surprised, looked at the master.
The Sword Demon looked at me and responded with a grin.
“Would you like to take a look?”
I received the sword of light held out by the Sword Demon.
It did not have an unusual appearance.
It feels ordinary yet neat. There was no thread, and there was nothing unusual about the scabbard and handle. Overall, I felt that the mixture of black and indigo was a little strange, but the most impressive part was the weight.
“Why is it so heavy?”
“It’s on the heavy side.”
I grabbed the body with my left hand and pulled out the light sword. The exterior was dull, but the body was so smooth that it was truly dazzling.
‘It’s a famous sword.’
Suddenly, I felt something strange, so I pulled it out as slowly as I could. At that moment, I got goosebumps all over my body.
“hmm… … .”
I looked at the sword demon.
“… … “Senior, is this an auditory hallucination?”
Suddenly, I looked at the sky and my surroundings.
I could hear several people screaming and sobbing in my ears. It didn’t feel close and it sounded like it was coming from another space. If you keep listening to it, it’s such a haunting sound that you’ll naturally fall into a mental state.
I put my sword back and silenced Gugokseong.
The Sword Demon said calmly.
“It’s not an auditory hallucination. It holds up pretty well. Usually, many people faint as soon as they pull it out. “If you touch it for too long, the dream will become violent, so give it to me.”
I said as I returned the Light Sword to the Sword Demon.
“Good to see. No, should I say I listened carefully? “Anyway, it’s a great sword.”
At my words, the calm sword demon received the sword of light with a puzzled expression.
“Great?”
I looked at the Sword Demon with my arms crossed.
“It’s rare and wonderful.”
“What is it?”
“It’s like a rare magic sword. Regardless of whether it is a magic sword or a fairy sword, you are a strong man because you fought the leader with a wooden sword without carrying it. “That’s impressive.”
That’s my opinion.
If the Sword Demon held this and fought, it would not be surprising if he competed with the leader for three days and nights.
The Sword Demon nodded and answered with a calm smile.
“Thank you for noticing.”
The Sword Demon suddenly looked at his disciple and muttered.
“Hao Wenju understands my feelings.”
The left monk answered while slightly lowering his head.
“I understand. “Master.”
The Sword Demon smiled and responded.
“Let’s go.”
There must be a story behind the Light Sword, but I didn’t bother to ask.
Each person has a story that is difficult to tell.
If the Sword Demon did not take his weapons with him even when competing with the leader, it would mean that the Sword of Light had a deep story of its own.
It is right to listen to that story after paying the price of time. After taking the master’s sword with us, the three of us set out for Daejeoksan Mountain to take the Woldanhwa.
***
“Was Woldanhwa at Daejeoksan Mountain?”
“To be exact, it’s beyond Daejeoksan Mountain.”
The Sword Demon looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Is it by any chance on a high peak in the red night?”
“Did you know about Red Night?”
The left monk, who did not know the meaning, asked.
“Master, what kind of place is it?”
“It was a place where masters often visited and fought. It’s an unusual battle location. It is said that the rough terrain became a plain because of these strong people. In fact, it is a place that cannot be understood even by looking at it. “The ground is mostly covered with red sand that looks like dust, and there are peaks here and there that I don’t know how they rose.”
The master left looked at the master.
“Did Samjae even fight there?”
The Sword Demon responded with a calm expression.
“You never know. There are so many rumors about Samjae that it is difficult to determine the truth. However, if the scenery had changed like this, the best experts in the world would have often competed here anyway.”
Jwasa said with a dry smile.
“If the moonflower did not bloom naturally but was hand-cultivated by a member of Samjae, shouldn’t we reconsider visiting?”
The Sword Demon shook his head.

“That can’t be possible.”
First of all, I wanted to voice my opinion, but I had no choice but to keep quiet. If that place is managed by a member of Samjae, then I should have died there in my past life.
The three of us crossed Daejeoksan Mountain and looked at the vast dark red plain below the hill. There were peaks of various shapes rising here and there, as if they were struck by lightning.
It was a strange-looking place.
I threw myself down the hill, forgetting all my thoughts.
“let’s go.”
After a while, three wisps of dust rose in the dark night. I headed straight to the highest peak I had seen on the hill.
While running, Jwasa found his destination and shouted.
“No, how can I get there!”
When viewed from the hill, it appears to be a moderately high peak. However, when I looked up while running on the plain below, it was an incredible height. However, it doesn’t seem like they are kindly allowing people to move in.
This is because the highest peak was literally a pillar rising vertically.
The sword demon running on the right asked.
“It was the highest peak. “Does it have a name?”
“I know it as Jeokyagobong (赤野孤峰).”
At first, I didn’t know what the lonely peak written on the grocery map meant. But after climbing to the highest peak, I felt like I knew how it felt. This is because it was literally a place where you could keenly feel the unknown loneliness that greets you from the highest place.
The Sword Demon sighed.
“Ah, with a name like that, it must be a place visited by ancient people.”
I said to the Sword Demon as I increased my speed.
“Senior, it will be easier to climb here in one go. At full speed. Do your best even when you’re pooping. “I don’t know if you can move up with your skills.”
Zuosa snorted.
“Shut up.”
I took the lead to show how easy it was to climb. I jumped up as high as I could, touched the wall with my toes, and then soared up. I felt my thighs swell. I maintained my balance, kicked off the wall, and climbed up more than a dozen times until I reached the top.
When I looked down, I saw the Sword Demon soaring with a light movement and arrived at the top without much time.
The two of us looked at the poop coming up from below for a moment.
“… … .”
He must have lost his footing in the middle, but was climbing up noisily, using both hands and feet against the wall and using the ice ball.
Bababababababaak!
I clicked my tongue.
I wondered if there was a need to make such a fuss just because I was coming to get an elixir.
After a while, Jwasa, whose arms and legs were shaking, reached the summit and caught his breath.
The Sword Demon must have been displeased and chased away his disciple.
“There is enough power, but what kind of shame is that? It was like seeing a stone dragon (lizard). You may be busy drinking, but make time to practice Gyeonggong from now on. “You came this far away and embarrassed me.”
Master Zwasa responded with a puzzled expression.
“Master, this is my first time climbing a peak like this.”
I scoffed at Zwasa’s unbecoming excuse.
“Poop.”
Before Jwasa could open his mouth, I turned around and looked at the center of the fairly wide peak. The sword demon next to me sighed.
“Oh, there it is.”
There were moonflowers blooming here and there on a small mound.
The three of us walked slowly toward Woldanhwa. As promised, it was a cautious step. This is because it is a flower that has a tendency to wither on its own. In fact, some of them were lying around with their flowers already gone, and among them, intact moonflowers were moving their heads back and forth every time the wind blew.
Jwasa also lowered his voice.
“It really exists.”
I again told Master Jwa the precautions.
“You can take it by cutting it with a sword and dropping the flower on the blade. You know what I mean, right? “If you touch it, the effectiveness of the medicine is significantly reduced.”
Jwasa asked Geomma.
“Master, aren’t you eating?”
“It is foolish to be greedy for an elixir that is not suitable for you. The two of you should quickly take the Woldanhwa and start the fortune-telling breakfast. From now on, refrain from talking. “Woldanhwa will already know that we have arrived.”
I exchanged a look with Jwasa.
We had to get drunk at the same time, so we needed to coordinate our breathing.
‘I’m sure this bastard won’t make a mistake.’
But mistakes are also fate.
I nodded at the same time as the left sword to catch the split-second moment, then pulled out the black cat and cut off the moon flower, and immediately swallowed the moon flower coming down the side of the knife.
While chewing the moonflower, I looked at the left temple.
Master Jwasu was also smiling cheekily as he chewed the moonshine flower.
The Sword Demon spoke in a calm tone.
“Start.”
The three of us sat cross-legged in a triangle configuration. The Sword Demon looked at the two of us with his arms crossed.
With my eyes open, I felt Cheonok absorbing the energy of the Woldanhwa, and then I felt a chill spread throughout my body.
Actually, I don’t need to eat fortune breakfast here because of Heavenly Ok.
Once again, I looked at the sword demon sitting cross-legged.
This is the sword I brought with me, including the Light Sword.
Because of the ominous sound I heard when I pulled out the Sword of Light, I knew that the sword was a magical object similar to Heavenly Jade.
The Sword Demon, who did not possess any magic items, was a trustworthy man.
Because I couldn’t be careless about the dangers of the magic pottery itself, I often made eye contact with the sword demon while putting aside my fortune-telling.
Sword Demon wasn’t surprised even if I didn’t eat the fortune.
The Sword Demon looked at me and his disciple from time to time, then closed his eyes as if he was meditating.
In the end, the Sword Demon and I stood guard together while waiting for the left master’s fortune to arrive.
Since I couldn’t predict when Jwasa’s fortune telling would end, I crossed my arms and closed my eyes for a moment.
The situation was such that not enough time had passed for Jwasa to complete a one-week journey.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes at the same time as the sword demon.
“… … !”
The Sword Demon held out his hand as if to tell me not to get excited.
Master Jwasu, who was eating breakfast, narrowed his eyebrows as if he had noticed the change.
The Sword Demon said to the Left Master.
“Mongrang, stay calm and do your job.”
The Sword Demon quietly stood up, put his back on his back, turned around, and looked ahead. There was a steady, dull sound coming from beneath her peak, and the woman in red leapt lightly.
I stood next to the Sword Demon and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared. She was a woman who looked to be over thirty, but in fact, her age should not be easily guessed at that age. Her mouth was a bit large, and her cheeks had small dimples.
I knew right away that it wasn’t Samjae, but I couldn’t figure out the woman’s identity.
The enemy woman said to the Sword Demon.
“Has the Woldanhwa wilted?”
The Sword Demon answered.
“If it was something that was raised by my senior, I will apologize. “Why don’t you put up a sign?”
I looked at the two people with a puzzled expression.
“… … .”
To be honest, I was curious about the woman’s identity, but I was more curious about why that woman wasn’t there when I ate Woldanhwa in my past life.
said the woman.
“I’m speechless because it’s so absurd. Sir, is it okay to make such a fuss about stealing? “I heard a strange noise, so I came just in case.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“It seems that my senior’s ears heard that my student’s light attack skills were poor. And since I came from a religious school, there is no need to call me Jwasa.”
“Have you become an apostate?”
“Please understand that I just got into a fight with the religious leader.”
The enemy woman responded with a surprised expression.
“Did you fight with the cult leader? This is surprising. “Can you tell me why?”
The Sword Demon answered in a dry tone.
“The religious leader said he would create a heavenly prison, so we opposed it and ended up competing.”
As soon as the word ‘heavenly prison’ suddenly came out, I was startled. To put it exaggeratedly, I felt like the hell inside me was shaking.
The enemy woman smiled back with her big mouth.
“Heaven? The ambassador has finally gone crazy. Well, that’s a great choice.”
I looked at the enemy woman blankly.
How many times will I have to be shocked today? I was very surprised once in Heavenly Prison, and I couldn’t help but be surprised again by the woman who called the religious leader her great brother.
The enemy woman looked the sword demon up and down.
“To fight and survive against the Great Master, your accomplishments are truly unusually fast. Or maybe the ambassador especially cared for you and couldn’t bear to kill you.”
Sword Demon said.
“How could a religious leader have such an emotional side? Seniors, please be careful too. “The death penalty would be useless in front of heaven.”
The enemy woman nodded.
“Could heavenly prison be created that easily? “Who is the successor?”
“I don’t know. “I’m not interested.”
The enemy woman spoke to the Sword Demon with a calm expression.
“Anyway, all the Woldanhwa flowers have withered. “Let’s hear how you will reimburse us.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“Is it true that you were managing it yourself?”
The enemy woman smiled once and threw the parchment she had taken out of her arms at the Sword Demon. As soon as I saw the parchment flying in the air, I burst into laughter.
Because that was the grocery map I had before.
