Chapter 380
Episode 380: The Secret of Cheonryongsa Temple (3)
The head priest of Cheonryongsa Temple, an expert in the Asura religion, could not believe his eyes.
Isn’t the tip of a spear split into a hundred and eight pieces reaching out like tentacles from above my head?
It was truly an herbivore that went beyond common sense.
There was no way to avoid it anywhere.
Papa papa pap-!!
It seemed as if the sky was covered with sharp spears.
The chief priest, Goesung, pressed down on the abdomen hit by the white elephant with his left hand while frantically swinging the dagger in his right hand above his head.
Kaan-! Kakakakang-!!
Unbelievably, everything that was not an illusion was real.
He was hitting the tip of the spear with all his might, but it was difficult for him to completely block the 108 tentacles with his seriously injured body.
Suddenly, dozens of tentacles began to wrap around his entire body.
Immediately afterwards, a series of cheerful sounds, as if something were being torn apart, came out.
Tukwak-! Tukwakwakwak-!!!
“Kwaaaa!!”
The deathly words of the abbot monster echoed through Cheonryongsa Temple.
And the moment it stopped, Yu Jin-san’s feet landed lightly on the ground.
Taaa-!
In front of him, the head monk, who had become a complete wreck, was looking at him with disbelief.
It seemed like he couldn’t accept the current situation.
However, his entire body was affected and he could not even speak.
“Off….”
It was almost impossible to hold my breath until now.
The abbot monster, covered in blood, was staggering around as if he was refusing to fall over. It would be unfair to die like this.
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who was glaring at him, suddenly slapped his ear.
slam-!!
“You bastard!”
For those who kidnapped children and used them as sacrifices, sympathy was just a luxury.
The abbot monster fell down with a crash and his body went limp.
Finally, he stopped breathing.
At that time, a weak voice came from behind me.
“I have never seen such incredible spear skills in my life.”
When I looked back, I saw the head of the Black Cat sect sitting down with a pale complexion.
“It’s a spear technique created by our leader. Doesn’t it look useful?”
“It was really great.”
When the exhausted Baeksang stumbled to his feet, Jinsan Yu held his arm from the side.
“I was the one who got hit by that guy, but why did you do this…”
“You don’t know. “Salsu specializes in short-term close combat.”
Confirming that his guess was correct, Jinsan Yu smiled quietly and looked around.
“Do you think anyone ran away?”
“Don’t worry about that. “Because it exactly matches the number of people in the main hall.”
Most of them were lying dead, but a few of them were still alive.
There would be no way that the super assassin’s attack would miss against the babies.
It must have been intentionally kept alive to obtain information.
Looking at the eyes, which were as black as ink, it didn’t seem like they would blow easily, but I had to try.
“I’ll clean up here, so get yourselves together first.”
Baeksang took a seat in an appropriate place and sat cross-legged.
Meanwhile, Yujinsan began to gather the surviving prisoners in one place.
It was while I was organizing my surroundings for a while.
Suddenly, I felt a sign of presence not far away.
“Mom…”
It was a girl’s crying voice.
When I looked back, a child with hair in two pigtails was approaching me. He must have passed out and has just woken up.
About six or seven years old? Looking at the dried tear stains under her chin, it seemed like she had been brought here and cried profusely.
How scared was that little one?
Jinsan Yu smiled as kindly as possible to reassure the child.
“It’s Yeonhwa, right? “This guy really looks just like his mother.”
“How do you know my name?”
“I came here because your mother asked me to find it. And you have to be respectful to adults. “Even if I look like this, I’ll probably be your uncle’s age.”
Yeonhwa ran up to Jinsan, grabbed him by the waist and shook him.
“our mom? “Did you really see it?”
“Because he’s a grandfather. “I’ll just clean up here and take you there soon, so get ready quickly.”
“lie! Are you trying to do something bad to me again!?”
Of course, there are bound to be doubts.
Jinsan Yu stretched out his left hand backwards without the child knowing.
Then, the bloody hairpin that was rolling on the floor flew out in an instant and was caught in my hand.
Up!
Eugene San secretly wiped the blood on the hairpin on the hem of his clothes and held it out to the child.
“Now look at this. “Grandpa, isn’t that right?”
The girl who received the hairpin opened her eyes round.
“Huh? “Is this my mom’s?”
“Okay, okay. Now that boring old man will take you to your mother.”
Baeksang, who was sitting cross-legged on one side, looked bewildered.
“Why did you do that to me…”
His eyes were as if asking why he was asking me to run such an errand when I was exhausted.
Jinsan Yu said jokingly.
“The one who received the request from that woman is the Black Cat Sect. “One of us has to stay here and protect these guys.”
Baeksang sighed but did not refuse.
He stood up unsteadily and stretched out one hand toward the child.
“I have no choice but to go with you. “I have to tell your mother that the mission has been completed.”
“Thank you, mister!”
As the two held hands, a happy smile appeared on Jinsan Yu’s face.
I can’t believe that such a warm heart was hidden in the seemingly blunt Salsu. The more I saw him, the more I liked him.
He said one more thing to the white elephant.
“When you complete the mission, please stop by the communal faction on your way. “We need to request support to escort the prisoners.”
It wasn’t that much of a hassle. Because the communal faction that joined Cheonyuhoe was not far from here.
After delegating the convoy mission to the Taoists, he planned to quickly return to Socheonseong.
“I will. “Then let’s meet again at headquarters later.”
* * *
Cheonyuhoe, which had brought wind and cloud from the beginning, was very busy.
The forces that joined the alliance must have some of their elite experts reside here.
The experts gathered in this way train together and perform various missions according to the orders of the alliance.
And managing them was no ordinary problem.
“Mr. Hoeju. The classification of the warriors gathered here has just been completed. From now on, the four newly appointed High Lords will lead each unit.”
The person reporting to Hoeju was Yeon Yeon-hee, a disciple of Eun Hwa-rin, the governor.
As head of the party, she was competent enough to take charge of the union’s administrative affairs.
At that time, Yoo Seol, who was sitting in Seongju’s chair, answered helplessly with sleepy eyes.
“all right. “If we’re done talking, can we leave now?”
“no. “There are still a few more items left on the agenda.”
Yu Seol was so tired that he almost died.
I really wanted to go out and have fun, but I was stuck here all day long.
Finally, Yoo Seol placed her forehead with her small hand as if she had a headache.
‘Ugh. Why doesn’t grandpa come here? I thought it was just a fight.’
If my grandfather came, it would ease the headache, but he hasn’t come back for over 10 days.
I didn’t do this for the sake of doing this, but I had a lot of regrets.
Regardless, Yeon-hee Yeon continued to report.
“It is said that crews digging a well within the castle discovered an ancient tomb. “First of all, they are stopping work and waiting.”
While listening to the report indifferently, Yu Seol’s ears perked up.
Because for the first time, something interesting came up.
“An ancient tomb?”
“yes. “The crew wants permission to explore. What should we do?”
“What’s inside?”
“If it is the tomb of an ancient royal family, it contains countless treasures…”
Before he could finish speaking, a palm the size of a chestnut struck the handle of the throne with a thud.
“It is against the law for a king to take all the precious treasure to the grave by himself! “We have to share it with hungry people like us so they can live well.”
“You mean you allow it?”
Yu Seol shrugged his shoulders and said, as if it was obvious.
“Sure. Instead, you must tell me what kind of treasure you found.”
A faint smile appeared on Yeon Yeon-hee’s face.
“All right. And the next item on the agenda is…”
She stopped speaking and glanced at the entrance.
This is because the door to the palace opened and a familiar figure appeared.
Yu Jin-san, an elder of the Cheon Yuhoe who left to carry out a secret mission, has returned.
Yoo Seol, who was sitting on a chair, ran over to greet his grandfather.
“Grandpa! Why did you come so late!? “Why are my clothes all torn?”
“Don’t even talk. “I was almost killed by an Asura cult expert.”
Yu Seol lit up his eyes and rolled up his sleeves.
“Are you running away? “Where is that guy now?”
“What do you mean, running away? Of course, Jaebi won.”
“really?”
Eugene San looked at his granddaughter looking at him suspiciously and responded with a shocked expression.
“That’s right. “The master of the Black Cat faction helped me a bit, but it cost me a lot of money.”
Yu Seol opened his eyes wide and was amazed.
“Oh~ But where is the loot? “You must have brought it with you, right?”
“What kind of loot is that? “What do you fucking idiots have?”
A deep sigh came out of Yoo Seol’s mouth.
“Ugh. It’s because I didn’t look for it properly. “If you search, you’ll find everything.”
Eugene San rummaged through his arms and looked behind his granddaughter.
“Anyway, that’s not important right now. Even so, I had some business to do with the head of the family, and
it just so happened to go well.”
The head of the family, Yeon Yeon-hee, was one of the few people who studied the language of Cheonchuk.
She approached me calmly and slightly lowered her head.
“Thank you for your hard work, Elder Yanggoe. “Have you achieved any results?”
“What is the hardship? Is it just you here? “Anyway, please take a look at this.”
Yu Jin-san handed her several crumpled pieces of paper.
“What is this?”
“These are letters exchanged with Cheonchuk at Cheonryongsa Temple. “Can you recognize it?”
Yeon-hee Yeon-hee moved her eyes left and right and began to decipher the contents of the paper.
After reading for a while, she muttered in a surprised tone.
“The head monk of Cheonnyongsa Temple was the sitting protection method of the Asura religion.”
“I knew that. “What else does it contain?”
At that time, she showed me a piece of paper with unusually different handwriting and said.
“This is a letter that was meant to be sent from the Heavenly Dragon Temple to the Asura Cult of the Heavenly Axis, but it seems that it has not yet been sent. According to the content, King Sagye has been killed by a shaman… or rather, Lord Hoe, so he asks me to send Nadani away.”
“Me? This is my first time hearing this. “Can you explain what it is?”
Yeon-hee Yeon-hee, who hesitated for a moment, spoke quietly with an ominous expression.
“It means great assassin. “It probably means the greatest assassin in heaven.”
“A living water? Who these damn bastards dare to assassinate!?”
How dare you plan to assassinate your only granddaughter?
Yu Jin-san was furious, clenched his fists and trembled.
Yuseol patted his shoulder and calmed him down.
“Don’t worry, grandpa. “Do you think I’ll just be defeated by the murderer?”
Wasn’t she the granddaughter of Seonumjiche, who was said to be gifted with the five senses of immortals?
Probably no assassin would be able to sneak up close.
It was a matter that would have to be discussed with the head of the Black Cat in the future.
Jin-san Yu finally calmed down and looked at Yeon-hee.
“I’m sorry for getting excited. “Is there anything else?”
Yeon-hee smiled quietly and held out another piece of paper.
“It’s okay, Elder. “On this piece of paper, it is written that the religious leader is feeling uncomfortable and urges him to quickly find the secret service of the Buddhist Master.”
“hmm. “It appears that the leader of the Asura religion, who left to conquer another kingdom, has returned to Heaven.”
“I guess so.”
At that moment, a meaningful smile appeared on Jinsan Yu’s face.
“Then that’s good news.”
“…yes? “Isn’t the return of the religious leader actually bad news?”
“No, it’s even better now that I have a chance to drag him here.”
