The Return of The Crazy Demon Chapter 73

Episode 73 Gambling Apocalypse Lee Jaha

For one hundred and eight days, I spent time in the lotus position here and there in the Black Tomb Room. My back became stiff, my knees often stiffened, and my body began to smell like a beggar because I did not wash often.

But it is necessary.

In the inner circle, Ho Yeon-cheong taught Cha Seong-tae, and in the outer circle, Heukmyobang’s subordinates continued training.

I also have a fortune-telling breakfast on the roof of the Black Cat Room.

I had the fortune-telling breakfast regardless of location, including the bathhouse, the wall, under the plum tree, the inner garden, the outer garden, and the bedroom.

Occasionally, Dokgosaeng, envoy leader, Byeokgwan, Geumhae, Hongsin, etc. came to visit, but I did not respond in any way, as if I were someone who had just started training at the closed hall.

My answer was consistent.

“do it yourself.”

He did not interfere with matters that his subordinates could make their own decisions and judgments on. The reason why I decided to set a hundred and eight days and start the fortune-telling ceremony was because the state of the Geumgu Soyogong Yeomgye realm was ambiguous. It was a time when I had no choice but to concentrate because I felt that if I concentrated just a little, I could move on to cockfighting.

My subordinates also realized that I was facing a certain juncture in my martial arts training, and we discussed things among ourselves as much as possible.

One hundred and eight days is a strange time that is both short and long.

One day, I watched the falling petals under the plum tree all day and had a breakfast to wake up. Sometimes, only when I couldn’t bear it anymore, I got up to drink water and put food in my mouth.

Thanks to this, I lost more and more weight.

Whenever I needed a break, I went to the clinic and watched Cha Seong-tae practice.

It was very Cha Seong-tae to show off his cruelty, but he didn’t bother to interfere.

When thirty to forty days had passed.

The deaths of Daenachal, Teacher Su, and Prince Lee Ryongno are all known to the nearby Black Island forces.

Commander-in-Chief Byeok relayed the news that all the black islands in the Namhwa and Ihwa regions were under the control of the Black Cat Ark.

Commander Byeok asked me this.

“Wouldn’t it be right to correct the spread rumor to Hao Wen Zhou instead of Black Cat Ark?”

It’s been a while since I responded to Commander Byeok’s words.

“There’s no need to do that.”

“yes.”

I plan to wear the mask of the dark sword for the time being. This is because the main base of Haomun, which is being built in Ilyang County, has not yet been completed.

And, just because he has taken control of two small regions of the Black Island, there is no problem at all in the map of the Central Plains and the power map of the Black Island.

This place is still a frontier.

None of the opponents I competed with in my past life have yet appeared, and there have been no masters who have given me trouble since I returned.

My actions in the grand scheme of things are that I have gained a lot of training time by dealing with Daenachal and Master Su.

The subordinates of Heukmyobang, including Sogunpyeong, also trained fiercely.

Cha Seong-tae was also training like crazy every day.

I can say without a doubt that I was training the hardest.

Thinking that this is what the commander-in-chief would do, I put myself in the fortune-telling breakfast.

Let’s burn away all the little things in daily life with concentration… … .

When I closed my eyes and opened them, sometimes it was dawn, and sometimes it was night.

The moon and sun, wind and rain, reports from my subordinates, and the occasional surge of hunger did not interfere with my training.

A man who forgets everything when he focuses on training, that’s me.

By the time I had forgotten how many days had passed, the inner strength I had brought from heaven and transformed had completely conquered the realm of flame. Now, I have reached the level of fighting cock and have to repeat the battle over and over again.

From this point on, I listened to my subordinates again little by little.

I increased my meals from once every two days to three times a day. While further reducing the number of rounds, he began training externally just like the subordinates of the Black Cat Room.

I mixed in with the subordinates, took the correct posture according to the words shouted by Sogunpyeong, and developed my physical strength together with the beggars without complaining.

At first, when I mixed with my subordinates like a crazy person and practiced external attack, the atmosphere was really serious, but later on, everyone got used to it and I became close to my subordinates to the point where they didn’t even know if I was originally a member of the Black Cat Ark or just a part of the Black Cat Room.

During the first half of the 108-day training period, my body was thin.

In the second half of his career as a cockfighter, the muscles in his limbs began to grow and his body was completely restored to its previous state.

One day, when I was just breathing with a calm mind under the plum tree.

Cha Seong-tae’s voice was heard.

“Lord Moon, it has been 108 days today.”

I answered as I opened my eyes.

“already?”

“yes.”

Meanwhile, Cha Seong-tae had become a furry figure holding a sword. In fact, Cha Seong-tae’s eyes and posture had already changed, so there was no need to check. Still, it is natural to give someone a compliment.

“Do you feel like you’ve gotten stronger?”

Seongtae Cha grinned.

“I have become stronger than I was 108 days ago.”

At that moment, I was about to tell him to practice for one hundred and eight more days, but I barely held back. Although I am good at using the whip, it would not be right to use it too much.

This time I looked at Hoenncheong.

“Seongtae, are you sure you’ve gotten stronger?”

Ho Yeon-cheong responded.

“Lord Mun, anyway, I became a swordsman. Although it was only a short period of time, he learned all the basics, techniques, and forms of the split light sword. He also taught me how to practice meditation and mainly practiced with me after dinner. Although he did not have enough time to build up his inner strength, a dantian was formed, and from there, he learned how to draw on his inner strength.”

I stroked my chin.

“You worked hard. What do you think about teaching?”

After hesitating for a moment, Ho Yeon-cheong gave a somewhat surprising answer.

“If Lord Moon allows, I would like to continue teaching.”

I looked at Hoenncheong with a puzzled expression.

“Really?”

“yes.”

Now that I think about it, the appearance of Hoyeoncheongdo from when it was taken prisoner had completely disappeared.

What realizations did you gain while teaching Cha Seong-tae?

It was quite different from the first impression I remembered.

“Seongtae, what about you?”

Seongtae Cha responded.

“I also want to keep learning.”

I spoke to both people.

“Stand side by side.”

I looked at Ho Yeon-cheong and Cha Seong-tae with my arms crossed. Hoyeoncheong is originally more than ten years older than him. It was safe to say that it was a typical teacher-student relationship.

I looked at the two people and nodded.

“The three of us have kept our pledge together, so from now on, do as you please.”

Ho Yeon-cheong and Cha Seong-tae responded with calm expressions.

“thank you.”

“yes.”

I asked Seongtae Cha.

“Seongtae, how do you feel about joining Kangho?”

Seongtae Cha answered briefly.

“It’s not bad.”

“If I had just lived in Giru, drinking and eating, I would not have died due to my weak martial arts skills. But now, survival has become more difficult because of the martial arts you have mastered.”

That’s what I think of as a powerhouse.

Cha Seong-tae looked at me and answered.

“I am just getting started. I don’t regret it. I didn’t know that this was what it meant to just get stronger every day. “It’s just good.”

I expected Cha Seong-tae to give this answer.

Most strong people are like that.

Most people do not regret their lives, unless it is the moment when a sword is inserted into their heart. Because I came to know the insanely powerful charm of becoming strong.

“Hoyeoncheong, you did a good job too.”

“yes.”

I don’t think much about Hoenncheong anymore. If you don’t see Hoyeoncheong someday, you will have left to find a way to survive. Then, if you come to the Black Cat Room from time to time, like the Four Gods or the High School Student, the connection remains.

I plan to just let it go as it goes.

* * *

A day with a cool breeze and good sunshine.

After washing my body for the first time in a while and changing my clothes, I packed the gold and silver ruler that Muak Munju had given me earlier into my purse.

As we passed by Naewon, Cha Seong-tae asked.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to do some non-draft gambling. “Let’s go and check out the Ehwa area.”

I could hear the conversation between Cha Seong-tae and Ho Yeon-cheong in the background.

“What is non-commercial gambling?”

“You’re fighting for money. “What can I do?”

“Why did Moonju suddenly… … .”

“I do not know.”

I was thinking of visiting a non-mulling gambling hall at least once.

The reason why my face in my past life turned grim is because of the non-martial arts gambling hall. It’s because I got hit a lot. If a person gets hit a lot, their face changes.

Non-martial arts gambling is divided into two types.

Fighting with weapons and fighting with bare hands. I learned a lot here. First of all, I realized that there was a lot to learn from defeat. I learned how to counterattack after being hit, and I also learned to understand the strength of my opponent through their appearance, mood, and eyes.

The reason why people who have reached the end of their lives often visit non-martial arts gambling.

Even if you lose, you can still make some money.

I am younger now than when I actually visited the non-martial arts gambling hall. But those who stayed there for a long time would stay there.

The level of non-martial arts gambling halls is, in a word, shit.

There are times when black island masters who hide their identities come and earn pocket money.

There are often cases where black swords masters who hide their identities fight each other, resulting in ridiculously large fights.

The non-martial arts gambling hall in an area called Siryun-hyeon is the most famous nearby. What is unusual is that the commercial areas surrounding the non-martial arts gambling venues are all geared towards non-martial arts gambling. Alcohol and food were sold to spectators and participants, gambling was popular, and gambling establishments other than non-martial arts gambling were lined up.

It’s been a while since I visited, but my memory was completely restored while looking around.

I know everyone gathered here, and they don’t know me at all.

I laughed so hard that it was ridiculous.

‘It’s still a shitty place.’

I went into a guesthouse I often frequented and had a drink.

As I drank, thinking about taking off some of the old dirt that had accumulated in my chest, the alcohol flowed in.

The guys in the guest room were all fighters who participated in non-martial arts gambling, so the atmosphere was really scary.

Rather, unlike my previous life, I had a softer expression and would look like a saenim here.

As I was chewing on my dry snack and looking around, a big guy came up to me and drank my drink without permission.

As I giggled and laughed, the big guy laughed along with me.

He said as he sat down across from me.

“This is my first time seeing this guy. Buy him a drink. “I will explain it well.”

I poured out the remaining liquor, drank it, grabbed the bottle, and immediately hit the guy on the head.

When the guy lowered his head with a thud sound.

I grabbed the guy’s head and repeatedly slammed it on the table.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

I pulled up my hair and checked my face. My nose was broken and three or four of my front teeth were broken. After I shaved off the guy’s head, I looked for Jeomsoy. Since there was a loud noise, it was not difficult to make eye contact with Jeomsoy.

“Here, give me some more Dougangju.”

Jeomsoi answered simply.

“yes.”

I said to the guy who was looking at me covered in blood.

“go away.”

The guy got up and moved somewhere, pushing people away.

A guy like that had a habit of always coming back when I told him to go away.

Laughter erupted from those around us. Jeomsoy ran over making a noise and quickly wiped the table and placed the newly brought dried snacks and tofu liquor and said.

“That guy is the owner of a brothel. I could bring my colleagues, would you mind?”

“How many people does he usually bring?”

“A dozen people are being dragged along.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

I said, snapping my fingers at Jeomsoy.

“Can I get some money?”

Jeomsoy looked at me and said, “Huh?” I looked while saying what I was saying.

“Have you been here? “This is my first time seeing it.”

“I’ve been here before.”

“All right.”

Jeomsoi was busy running around, carrying a large basket and shaking the bell hanging from the ceiling.

Ding ding ding!

Everyone in the guest room looked at Jeomsoy.

Jeomsoy said.

“Is there anyone who wants to participate in the guest banquet? A strange guest here will face off against Heukyeong Chang Gwan-ju, who just returned home after being beaten. Heukyeong Changgwanju’s subordinates would still be ten, right? We will only go by guessing whether there is a win or loss with no participation fee. On the left is a young customer, on the right is Heukgyeong. Our store will specially give back 500 nyang to the winner. “Here we go!”

As Jeomsoi walked around the inside of the guest house carrying a basket, money began to be placed in the basket with a screen in the middle.

Money was placed on the left and also on the right.

Meanwhile, all the non-gamers in the room were looking at me at the same time.

Someone shamelessly asked me where I was from, so I answered briefly.

“Pay and ask questions.”

It reminded me of old times, so I added a swear word.

“… … “You bastards.”
