Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 35

Dokgo Woojin moved his residence after the last Cheoneumji kidnapping incident.

To a private house near Cheongseongsan Mountain.

This was because they were concerned that the demonic cult might once again threaten the safety of their family.

‘That’s what I’m worried about.’

Dok-go-seong is a transacute retardant.

And Cheonakgun, the first disciple of the Demonic Cult Master, learned the art of chanting.

As long as Cheonakgun did not collapse from the poisonous fire, Dokgoseong had no choice but to continue to face threats to his life.

That is why Dokgo Woojin evacuated his family to Mt. Cheongseong.

From what I heard, it seemed like the Taoist monk from Cheongseong, whose life had been saved by him, had helped him in many ways.

‘Well, there’s no place as safe as here.’

There is a Qingcheng sect on Mount Qingcheng.

No matter how advanced the Demon Cult was, they couldn’t run around in the territory of the Blue Star Sect.

“Don’t lose your posture.”

“yes.”

“Your voice is small!”

“yes!”

A powerful cheer erupted.

Recently, Dokgo Woojin began teaching martial arts to his son.

The goal was to build strength so that one could protect one’s body in times of emergency.

As I was sitting on the floor watching Dok Go-seong practice, I remembered a conversation I had with Dok Go Woo-jin not long ago.

[Did you eventually decide to teach martial arts?]

[Yes.]

[You made a difficult decision.]

[I had thought before that martial arts might help me overcome my innate constitution. But I didn’t want to drag my child into the martial arts world, so I didn’t teach him.]

[…….]

[Now that I think about it, maybe it was just my greed.]

“Heo-eok! “Huh!”

It looks precarious, as if it will collapse at any moment.

Dok Go-seong, who was naturally weak, could not easily adapt to the arduous training.

Even with simple basic training, he seemed easily tired and tired.

“How about doing something like that? “I think the meal preparations are almost done.”

“I haven’t reached my goal yet.”

“You are also strict with your children.”

“If I had thought of him as my child, I would not have decided to teach him myself.”

“…….”

I had no intention of discussing the father-son issue any further.

I got up from my seat and entered the house.

“It was really dark back then. “I thought there might be a problem with my child’s health…”

“That’s what happened.”

A quiet voice pierced my ears.

Seo Moon-hye and Cheon Ga-ryeong were preparing a meal together and having a conversation.

“Who would have known that the demonic cultists kidnapped my son? “If Sowoon hadn’t helped me at that time…”

Seo Moon-hye looked extremely excited.

It seemed like they were happy to see a customer who had been visiting for a long time.

He didn’t know why he had so much to say, but he didn’t stop talking even for a moment while busily serving food.

I could see how hungry she was for people.

“What about the Chamberlain?”

“He is still watching Master’s training.”

“It would be good to take it easy so as not to hurt your body.”

“Don’t worry, you will be able to control it well.”

“okay.”

“Isn’t life inconvenient on Mount Qingcheng?”

“Why would I be uncomfortable? “I’m just sorry that you’re having a hard time.”

“It’s late, but thank you for inviting me.”

“I haven’t prepared anything, but please enjoy it and leave.”

“…….”

I glanced around and looked at the table filled with food.

The table was too extravagant to say that nothing had been prepared, but there was no need to point that out.

The food was delicious.

Everyone, except Dok-go-seong, who was exhausted from the hard training, ate the meal satisfactorily.

Me, Cheon Ga-ryeong, Dokgo Woo-jin, and Seo Mun-hye had a small chat as we drank in the expensive car.

How much time passed like that, Dokgo Woojin quietly got up from his seat.

Seo Moon-hye asked with a puzzled expression.

“Where are you going at this hour?”

“It’s a nice day, so I’ll get you some drinks.”

I immediately followed suit and got up.

“Let’s go together.”

“Okay, I’ll go alone.”

“I just wanted to get some air.”

“…….”

The alcohol was stored in a nearby cellar.

I had to go outside to get it.

I walked for a while in the chilly night wind.

Dokgo Woojin asked, glancing sideways in my direction.

“Why did you go out of your way to follow me?”

“I was curious about the reason why someone who never drank alcohol suddenly started drinking.”

“It’s not that I can’t drink. “I just need to restrain myself as much as possible.”

“So, why did I suddenly think of drinking?”

“A guest has arrived…”

“Are you feeling sorry for your family?”

“…….”

“I don’t think Master has any reason to feel guilty.”

“…I am always grateful to my wife. This is a woman who gave up a lot for me. “I wanted to at least make sure they don’t feel inadequate in life, but I don’t feel like what’s going on in the world.”

Dokgo Woojin shook his head with a bitter expression.

It is said that ten men cannot stop one thief.

What if the number of thieves is ten?

No matter how great Dokgo Woojin was, he was ultimately an individual.

If the demon cultists decided to threaten my family’s safety, there was no way I could resist them.

Life on Mount Cheongseong would never be comfortable or leisurely.

First of all, the distance from Chengdu was about 180 miles.

Even if you ride a horse, it is a distance that can easily be reached in one hour.

Of course, for an expert like Dokgo Woojin, that distance may not be a big deal.

In fact, even after moving his residence, he continued to work as the head of the Hwangryongmugwan.

But what about your family?

Seo Moon-hye and Dok-go-seong were living in confinement, not confinement, in Mt. Cheongseong under the pretext of safety.

He stopped interacting with people around him and was forced to live in the mountains.

I spend my days refraining from going out as much as possible and avoiding contact with outsiders.

Every day, I just scrape by using the daily necessities that Dokgo Woojin brings me.

There was no other reason why Seo Moon-hye seemed so happy while welcoming guests.

What did Dokgo Woojin think when he saw his wife like that?

‘I don’t know, but I must have felt quite uncomfortable.’

Maybe Dokgo Woojin was worrying too much.

At the time of the Cheoneumjiche kidnapping incident, it was clear that Eumsalgwima had made some kind of contact with Cheonakgun.

However, it was not known whether he simply sent a letter stating that he had secured the Cheoneumji body, or whether he sent a letter detailing the circumstances in which he obtained the Cheoneumji body.

If I had to choose the one with the highest probability, I would have chosen the former without hesitation.

Because the demon of Eumsal is not a subordinate of the Cheonakgun, there is no reason to report in detail where he is and what he is doing.

But there was one thing that happened.

As Dokgo Woo-jin, he could never ignore this one possibility.

‘You look uncharacteristically lethargic.’

As I looked at Dokgo Woojin’s profile as he walked away with his mouth tightly closed, I slowly narrowed my brows.

For some reason, I felt irritated.

I hate to say it myself, but I was a human being who was far from being an apostle of justice.

He was not emotional enough to shed tears of sadness in sympathy for Dokgo Woojin’s situation, nor was he passionate enough to spew out profanity while criticizing Cheonakgun’s evil deeds.

But for some reason, as I looked at Dokgo Woojin’s weak appearance, something bubbled up inside me.

‘frustrated.’

What should I do to relieve this uncomfortable feeling?

What can I do to relieve the pain in my heart?

After a short period of thought, I came to a conclusion.

The culprit behind everything was Cheonakgun.

If it weren’t for Cheonakgun, there would be no reason for Dokgo Woojin to suffer like that.

‘Kill Cheonakgun.’

After organizing my thoughts, I felt much more at ease.

I pretended to have a bright expression and spoke to Dokgo Woojin.

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t given you a housewarming gift yet. “I will prepare it and give it to you soon.”

“……?”

Dokgo Woojin looked back at me with narrowed eyes.

His face seemed to say, “What kind of idiot are you talking about?”

This time, I was wondering if there was some kind of plan.

How long has it been since you moved and now you’re giving me a housewarming gift?

I continued, stretched, and added a few words.

“I assure you, you will like it.”

* * *

Cheon Ga-ryeong and I decided to stay the night at Dokgo Woojin’s house and return to Hwangryongmugwan early in the morning.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, Seo Mun-hye, and I ended up sharing a room with Dok-go and his son.

As I was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, I sent an electric sound to the next room where I could sense Cheon Ga-ryeong’s presence.

-There is something I would like to ask you.

-ask? Do you want to borrow my power or Hao Wen’s power?

-I would like to borrow Hao Wen’s power.

-What is the content of the request?

– Please convey my message to Danju of Huayang Trading Company, headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

-Hwayang Sangdan? Are you talking about an emerging top company that has been gaining ground at a frightening pace recently?

-yes. We will pay with information.

-I’ll listen to it first.

-The only son of Hwayang Sangdanju fell into mental illness while practicing martial arts.

-no way.

-The source of martial arts is none other than the Demonic Cult.

-The person who wrote the military officialdom was the Maqiao governor of the time?

-That’s right.

-Then what you want to convey to the owner of the Hwayang Sangdan is…

-If you want to save your son, please tell him to come see me. Of course, I also brought military officialdom with me.

-It seems like all you have to do is tell the story and the compensation is excessive? I can grant that kind of request without having to pay extra. First of all, both Hao Mun and I are in debt to you.

-In that sense, I would like to ask you a few more favors.

-That’s right.

Hwayang Sangdan.

It was a large merchant that would occupy the top spot among the top ten merchants in the near future.

In his previous life, the Demonic Cultist healed the son of the Venerable Merchant who was suffering from a mental illness and recruited the Hwayang Vendor as an ally.

Of course, they received enormous amounts of goods through military funds.

‘It’s a bit of a waste, though.’

There was no need to share the benefits of being indebted to the Huayang merchant with Hao Wen.

However, it was a waste of time to go to Zhejiang in person and negotiate.

I doubted whether a big man of his size would even willingly meet me.

Above all, I had to make him come to me in order to secure the promised gift.

‘If it’s too late, you’ll miss the right time. Anyway, I have to continue my relationship with Hao Wen. You can think of it as paying the request fee in advance.’

The name of the martial arts practiced by the son of the head of Hwayang Sangdan is Honghwasingong (紅火神功).

It was a prayer technique based on positive energy.

It wasn’t an extreme type of martial arts like what Cheonakgun learned, but it was good because of it.

A highly biased martial arts practice was bound to ultimately destroy the practitioner.

Isn’t it impossible to pass on such harmful martial arts to others?

‘Honghwa New Technique will be a great help in overcoming the Tianum Delay.’
