Episode 199. I gave up my doctrine for a piece of silver.
It wasn’t until I woke up that I remembered being drunk.
Usually, if your inner energy is deep, you don’t get drunk easily. Yesterday, I drank it to get drunk. Suddenly, I looked around and saw that it was morning at the guesthouse.
“It won’t be Jaha’s guest cup again.”
When I wake up the day after drinking, my eyes are often swollen, and I suspect that this may be from Jaha’s alcove.
I’m glad I didn’t do that.
Because I couldn’t live as hard as I do now, I didn’t want to repeat various emotions and I was tired of getting blood on my hands. In particular, I wanted to stop killing the person I killed again.
Because every time that happens, I feel like I’m being played by God.
I felt a little strange when I saw that there was no flash dagger on the table. If assassins were targeting me, there would have been no better opportunity than last night when I was drunk and fell asleep.
But last night has already passed.
I looked around the inside of the guest room with a clearer mind than usual and then went up to this floor.
On the overlapping tables, the nympho was sleeping in an upright posture like a corpse. The demon opened its mouth as if it knew I was nearby.
“… … Don’t wake me up. “I need to sleep more.”
Does this bastard know me as Monga’s servant? I answered this question to check whether it was sleep talking or not.
“Yes, Confucius. “Sleep comfortably.”
The devil answered.
“Oh my, it’s the third one.”
It wasn’t sleep talking.
“… … “Tues, check.”
It seemed like the sword demon had returned to his quarters and the demon demon was nowhere to be seen, so he went outside. Shouldn’t we check what the drunks from the previous day were doing?
By the way, there must be a mess on the table with leftover alcohol and snacks, so why is it so neat?
I fell into a deep sleep without even knowing how to clean the table, so I felt confused the whole time.
Who mixed sleeping pills with alcohol?
When I went out in front of the guesthouse… … .
Even though he was in good health, the ugly demon was swinging his sword with an even uglier face due to excessive drinking.
I sat on a chair outside the guesthouse and watched the demons practicing since morning.
The demon asked me while swinging his sword.
“Are you awake? “He slept very well, like a corpse.”
Anyway, why are these bastards’ minds so dark? Why bother showing a corpse when you could just ask if you slept well? When I thought about it, I had done the same thing a while ago as soon as I saw the demon, so I had nothing to say.
I asked this because the demon looked so ugly today.
“Yuk-Gap, did you stay up all night?”
Yukgap responded while swinging his sword.
“Suddenly the third and fourth guys started to spread out, so I had no choice but to stay up all night.”
“So you swung your sword all night?”
“It’s been a while since I swung all night.”
“What about Sword Demon Senior?”
“He told me stories about the five famous swords of the religion until dawn and then went to sleep.”
“The five famous swords of the Demonic Cult?”
Only then did the demon lower his sword to the lower right and exhaled deeply. She drank the water on the table and then sat down nearby.
“It is said that the Celestial Master’s Heavenly Demon Sword, Wu Master’s Great Cloud Sword, Zuo Shi’s Gwangmyeong Sword, and Grand Duke’s Seungsa Sword are the four great swords. If you add the one-kill sword used by the old musketeers, it becomes one of the five great swords.”
“hmm.”
The demon said while looking at me.
“I heard it was your wooden sword. “I heard that these five famous swords have something in common, do you know?”
There is no way I would know such a thing.
“I don’t know.”
“One year before that. They say it’s a sword passed down to the best killer, so it’s a sword. Congratulations! “It seems that the person called the Musketeer considers you to be the successor to the best assassin.”
“Why does it send a chill down my spine when I say congratulations?”
The demon said with a grin.
“that’s right. They say the five swords are something the cultists are trying to retrieve somehow. “It is not a sacred object, but it is a symbolic weapon of the religion and is said to be related to their honor.”
I scratched my head.
“This old man handed over a wooden sword to kill me… … .”
“Is that possible? In any case, Cheonma, Daeun, Gwangmyeong, and Seongsa are swords used by high-ranking officials in the religion, so they must be recovered. “I said that it is a weapon that assassins must retrieve because of its symbolism.”
“There must be a reason why I told you this, right?”
The demon nodded.
“They said that when competing with those holding that sword, if you lack strength or are holding a worthless sword, be prepared to quickly become bare-handed. It is said that even if weapons collide with each other, a flimsy spear knife will break quickly. Senior Geomma is training with a wooden sword, but he said he has no intention of returning the Light Sword to the school. Training to build your skills is important, but he said that if you want to reach the peak of sword skills, you should get a better sword than the sword I am using now.”
I told you what I knew.
“Don’t most swords like that have owners? “I understand that it is something that masters of the white and black swords have.”
The demon nodded.
“I have to make it.”
“where.”
“In Yongducheolbang… … .”
I hit my forehead with my hand. Now that I think about it, the Demon Demon once met Mr. Geumcheolyong in the Black Cat Room. It seemed like he was trying to ask him to make a famous sword, but I barely held back from trying to dissuade him. You never know. This is because Mr. Geum’s skills have also improved a lot.
I spoke as if comforting a demon.
“Ask me later. “If my wooden sword was one of the five famous swords of the Demonic Cult, it would have been natural for Mr. Geum’s sword to break.”
The demon nodded and asked me with a tired expression.
“Can we take shifts now? “I need to sleep.”
I nodded.
Now that I think about it, the ghost demon was no different from practicing swordsmanship in front of the guests and at the same time standing on guard duty.

I wasted time in front of the guest room like someone who was on guard duty for a while and accepted this ordinary day as it was.
I think.
A man who fights all the time is likely to go crazy one day, and a man who works all the time is likely to become a fool someday. Also, a man who plays all the time is bound to become miserable sooner or later.
So, it is important to fight or work in moderation, play occasionally, and do nothing when there is nothing going on.
That’s it now.
I just exhaled for the first time in a long time.
While I was looking outside, Botjim merchants were approaching me while having a conversation. After listening to the story, I heard that they were saying that we should fill our stomachs at the guesthouse and then leave. Since I had nothing special to offer, I pulled out a wooden sword and looked closely at the blade reflecting in the sunlight.
Botjim merchants who came to eat passed by quietly. After sheathing my sword again, I imagined what the guys and subordinates I had saved for the first time in a while were doing right now.
I was picking my nose and shaking my legs.
I started shaking my legs and yawning.
As I was going about my normal daily life, leaning diagonally on the table, I forgot whether I was Hao Wen Zhou, Jian So Yi, Gwangma, or Six Dragons.
Today, like I did a long time ago, I became a pathetic man in the world and welcomed the ordinary sunlight, wind, scenery, and air as they were.
The Danjeon, divided into yin and yang, was squirming as if telling me to eat good luck, but I left a warning message to my Danjeon.
‘Don’t make fun of me, just stay still. Today is my day off.’
While I was thinking about each of my subordinates, I especially remembered Mo Yongbaek’s face. I didn’t know if this guy had come to his senses and was concentrating on martial arts training. The conclusion of my thoughts was always similar.
‘If you survive, the day will come when you will become stronger.’
Suddenly, the air carried by the wind felt cool, so I took a deep breath.
***
Sambok, the bodyguard of the three princes who had left Cheonri Gaekjan and moved somewhere overnight, has arrived at a safe house used as an intermediate base.
However, the safe house was full of corpses right from the entrance.
Bodies were seen in the yard and on the walls, as well as corpses hanging from the roof and corpses with their upper bodies stuck at the entrance to wells.
There were many corpses of our soldiers, but many more were wearing unfamiliar clothing. As soon as I saw the older people mixed in, I realized that Sima Wei Dao’s masters had attacked the safe house.
Sambok, who was looking around with the intention of checking for survivors and then exiting, quietly pushed open the main hall door. After pushing the corpse leaning against the main hall door and entering, the foul smell of blood stung my nose, just like the inside of Cheonri Gaekjan.
I saw the Three Confucius sitting cross-legged on a small garden made of corpses.
“Confucius, this is the three blessings. Confucius?”
Sambok approached the pale-faced Prince Sam and knelt down. The Three Confucius opened his eyes and looked at the Three Bodies.
“It’s three blessings. “Are you alive?”
“yes. I fainted in my guesthouse… … .”
Sambok could not speak in detail because he thought the three princes would misunderstand. But even in the meantime, the three princes narrowed their eyebrows.
“How did you live?”
“I was able to survive thanks to Master Jwa’s mercy.”
The Three Princes nodded.
“Um, are there any survivors out there?”
“I didn’t see it.”
“I don’t know when the location of the safe house was discovered. “My mother’s family is probably under attack too.”
“Are your injuries okay?”
The Three Princes shook their heads.
“I got hit with a strange force and it hurt quite a bit. Sambok.”
“yes.”
“It seems I don’t have the skills or qualifications to become a vice principal. “It failed.”
Sambok was at a loss for words to answer, so he just listened.
The Three Confucius said.
“I’m in a situation where I can’t ask for mercy from my brothers anyway. The leader won’t even meet you. “My mother’s family is probably in danger too.”
“yes.”
When the three princes pulled out the sword with their hands, there was a black palm print on the chest.
“Can you see what it is?”
Sambok said.
“Is it poisonous?”
“There were, but almost all of them were driven out.”
“It’s like the dark water of a poisonous shepherd. It seems that the Grand Duke or this Grand Duke has recruited the expert of the Jecheon Alliance.”
“I guess I wasn’t the only one who hired Sima Oedo’s experts.”
“How does the independent shepherd… … .”
The Three Confucius pointed to the entrance to the main hall with his chin. When Sambok turned around, he saw a corpse lying around with a large hole in his chest.
Sambok said.
“Confucius, please carry me on your back. Even to a nearby doctor… … .”
The Three Princes shook their heads.
“done. I know my body better. “It’s faster to drive out the toxicity here.”
“… … .”
“Sambok.”
“yes.”
“You may have learned that if the archdukes die, the guard must die too, but you will not need to do that from now on. If you stay here, additional inspectors may come, so get out first. I will welcome it while having breakfast, or if I have enough time, I will also avoid it for a while. “I think it would be better to hide in Baekungji, which is full of white peach, than anywhere else.”
“Where shall I go? “Let’s go together.”
“Sambok, not dying is revenge. Let’s disperse. “Go quickly.”
The Three Confucius waved his hand and closed his eyes again.
Sambok said.
“Confucius, I will stay and carry out the task until the end.”
The Three Confucius spoke with his eyes closed.
“What are you doing? I’m not dead yet. It was just one hit of tension. After he recovers, he will go to his mother’s family and seek revenge if he is harmed there too. Even though the battle for successor has failed, I have no intention of failing to take revenge. Your mother’s family’s grudge has nothing to do with you, so don’t get involved. good. I’m tired of talking. “If you’re really worried, take a look at my mother’s side.”
Sambok bowed his head.
“All right. Confucius. “But you’re not returning to school?”
“The leader despises the weak. “I won’t go for a while.”
“yes… … Ah, I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a while, but I’m finally saying it now. Thank you for taking in orphans who had nowhere to go. “Recover quickly.”
“It’s nonsense.”
Sambok listened closely and listened to the sound of the three princes breathing, then quietly retreated. After looking around at the corpses lined up in the safe house again, Sambok came out and suddenly stopped and put his hand in his arms.
A piece of silver that Hao Wen-ju had delivered was lying in a lump in the palm of his hand. The young Hao Wenju’s innocent expression and his words came to mind.
‘You must abandon the doctrine, but a new life awaits.’
Sambok stood there blankly and wondered for a moment what it meant to abandon doctrine.
‘What kind of bullshit is this?’
Even though I looked around and looked at the unusually clear sky today, I couldn’t find the answer right away. Sambok thought intensely about what it meant to abandon doctrine even as he felt that the invasion of the Chinese people was coming. As he tried to think of something he couldn’t think of, his head was heating up.
.
.
.
“What are you doing? Sambok!”
“… … .”
Sambok, who had been having a hard time looking at a piece of silver, entered the safe side of the road, carried Samgongja on his back, and was running at full speed. The Three Confucius said.
“Put it down. “Where are you going?”
“If you stay here, you will die.”
“So where do you go in a situation like this?”
Sambok opened his mouth and closed his mouth. After a while, when the three princes, who were not very fit, started nagging again, the three princes opened their mouths in a different tone.
“Confucius, please shut up.”
“what?”
As Sambok ran furiously, he spoke to Prince Sam.
“For now, I will take you to a safe place. “It’s noisy, so shut up.”
In the end, Sambok gave up his doctrine for a piece of silver. He had no choice but to believe that this was the only way to save the three princes and himself to survive.
