Absolute Sword Sense

[Episode 89: Return (3)]

“Who will be my husband?”

The old monk’s back was shaking as he questioned.

He must have guessed my identity from the moment he first threw the blood demon sword.

However, since she had publicly said that she was Sima Ying's fiancé, it was natural to be surprised.

“I recommend you not move. monk.”

I pressed him with a strong sense of intimidation.

Since you're wrapped up in anticipation, you won't be able to think about making a move.

“Master.....”

Sima Ying looked at me in tears with reddened eyes.

I can feel how much pain she suffered.

How difficult must it have been for me, who could be considered my fiancé, to have disappeared for over seven months, and my father, Wolakgeom Sima Chak, my only blood relative, was imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple.

But this too was short-lived.

Sima Ying wiped her tears with her sleeve and sent me a message.

[Where on earth have you been?]

I bit my lip as I heard a voice mixed with resentment and longing.

How can a single word compensate for the pain of loneliness and longing she must have experienced?

[I'm sorry.]

But I couldn't help but apologize.

I tried to come back quickly, but there was no way to explain it right away, so the only answer was to sincerely comfort her.

At my words, Sima Ying twitched her lips as if she was about to cry.

[Is it because of the fog?]

[......Yes.]

[You disappeared along with the fog. For some reason, it seemed like that.]

[You had a hard time waiting, right?]

Her eyes turned red at my words, but she smiled and raised her eyebrows.

[You know. I sacrificed my whole body and soul, but if you abandoned me and ran away... oh, that's not right. Anyway, even if it meant becoming a widow's ghost, I tried to chase after her and harass her.]

I also chuckled at her playful tone.

As expected, she was stronger and more considerate than any other woman I knew.

-How did the ghost come to the past?

Sodamgeom giggled and said.

She would be shocked if she heard that I had entered the Foggy Forest and gone back in time.

How many people in the world have had this strange experience?

-How many? You are the only one.

I know.

At that time, Sima Ying seemed to have missed something and sent me a message.

[But why did you come as a blood demon?]

As she said, I came to Shaolin Temple wearing a demon mask and transformed into a blood demon.

Actually, I thought about this quite a bit.

I even considered dressing up as a monk and sneaking inside.

However, there was only one weakness that could not be overcome even with embodied transformation.

-You can't go bald just to disguise yourself.

Yeah, that was the problem.

Hair and body hair could not be controlled with manipulative techniques.

Master Nam, who taught me this, and who wears only one shoe, also said that as long as he didn't disguise himself as a monk in a playful way, no one would notice.

I sent a message to Sima Ying.

[There was no justification for coming as Jeongpain.]

[Justice?]

[You can't save your father-in-law with a small sword.]

Wolakgeom Samachak is one of the five great evildoers, both in name and reality.

Isn't it impossible to save him like that with Sogeomseon, the so-called hero of the political faction?

Sima Ying spoke as if she was concerned about my words.

[Are you okay? I wonder if it's to make the Shaolin Temple an enemy...]

[Because that was the intention.]

[Huh?]

In fact, appearing like this was also the intention.

If you hide your identity and rescue your father-in-law and Sima Ying, the Shaolin Temple may send you after them.

Even if the Shaolin Temple is not involved in the secular world, they will not be willing to risk the indignity of losing the prisoner they have locked up.

If that happens, the evildoers of Sima Mao Dao will look down on Shaolin Temple.

That's why I openly appeared as a blood demon.

By revealing that Sama Chak, the Wolak Sword, is my father-in-law, I want to show that the great power of blood religion is involved.

[Because this will make even the Shaolin monks alert.]

[Warning...]

[No matter how strong my father-in-law is, if he is alone, the Shaolin monks will try to catch him again somehow.] [

Ah! I guess you came like that on purpose. So, did you come with the Blood Cultists?]

I shook my head in response to Sima Ying’s question.

She couldn't hide her inner embarrassment.

[.....You really came alone?]

I understand why she reacted like that.

Shaolin Temple has a long history of martial arts, so much so that it is called the birthplace and source of martial arts in the central region.

If these people had been openly involved in the secular world, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the landscape of martial arts would have changed.

There is a popular saying that if Master Jingak, the head of the Shaolin Temple, had come out into the secular world and shaken off his deep discipline, the Eight Great Masters might have been called the Nine Great Masters.

In addition, there is nothing to take lightly, from the Shaolin 18-dong-in, which gave birth to the etymology of the Geumgang Buddha, to the 108 Nahanjin Yeokgeun 108 Techniques.

So, the power of Shaolin is on a different level from that of other sects.

[ah! Are you trying to fly away?]

Sima Ying clapped his palm and sent a message to me as if he understood.

Of course, there is that way, but if I was going to run away with my father-in-law like that, I wouldn't have revealed my identity.

When I shook my head, she frowned.

[Then are you sure you want to attack me head on?]

I am trying to do that.

When I didn't deny it, she looked at me with concern.

Then he immediately sent me a message.

[Confucius must have had something in mind. Then I need to quickly save my father. If my father joins, no matter how strong the monks of the Shaolin Temple are, they will not be able to think of dealing with two great evildoers.] She

was a smart woman.

In the meantime, I came up with my own way out.

At that time, the old monk opened his mouth.

“Amitabha Buddha. “This is the first time since the headquarters was built that the head of an organization that walks the Simao Island has entered the center of the headquarters.”

“I did not come to harm the monks.”

“Just coming in here is an act of threat.”

He was not an ordinary person to open his mouth so boldly even though he was intimidating with his anticipation.

He must be a monk with deep discipline.

“He is a monk who guards Hoegeum-dong, where my father is imprisoned.”

When I turned my head, I saw Hoegeum-dong written on the top of the cave.

It seems like the person in charge is called Hoegeumdongju.

I heard that in Shaolin Temple, those in charge of a certain space are assigned monks with high distribution, and there was a reason why they had reached the highest level.

Hoegeumdongju spoke to me in a serious tone.

“dole. “If the donor really has a relationship with Sima’s donor and his father-in-law, I can understand why he came in so suddenly, but please stop at this point.”

“You may leave this world, but do you think criminals like us can leave our families behind?”

Hoegeumdongju sighed at my words.

And he spoke as if warning me.

“dole. The reason that the head office locked him up in Hoegeum-dong is to reform him until the end so that he can go to the side of Buddha. Do you want the donor’s father-in-law to fall into eternal hell for the sins he has committed?”

“I don’t want to have this argument with you, monk.”

If we put it that way, how many of the martial arts people would be able to go to the Buddha's side?

This debate is just meaningless in the current situation.

“Do you think that’s the key?”

I found the key worn on Hoegeumdongju’s waist.

Seeing that the round iron shackle has several large keys hanging from it, it appears that there is only one gold jade inside the hoegeumdong.

“that's right! I opened the golden jade with that…”

It was before she could finish her sentence.

“bout!”

-bang!

Hoegeumdongju took a step forward.

Then the sand on the ground bounced upward.

-Papa papapak!

It seemed like they were just waiting for an opening to appear at the very moment.

At the same time, it was Hoegeumdongju, who was spinning his new form like a top and trying to unleash a hundred treasures on me.

But

- tak!

“Anit?”

Hoegeumdongju's expression hardened as his fist was caught.

I guess I never imagined that I wouldn't be able to dodge grains of sand loaded with energy at an advanced angle.

I caught Hoegeumdongju's bloodshot in surprise as if it were lightning.

-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!

Hoegeumdongju, who was possessed by both demonic blood and Hunhyeol, became stiff and fainted on the spot.

Sima Ying looked at me in bewilderment.

“Confucius?”

Hoegeumdongju was a master with supreme martial arts skills.

Even if he was an expert who had overcome the wall and reached the realm of superhumans, he was not an opponent who could be subdued with just a few light moves unless he used Jeolcho.

She was very surprised when she lightly subdued him.

“Have you become stronger?”

That's what I want to say.

Her energy rose as if she had gone through a lot in just seven months.

As long as you have enlightenment, you can reach the realm of transcendence at any time.

“let's go.”

I said after taking the gold key from Hoegeumdongju’s belt.

As I was about to head towards the cave, Sima Ying stopped and pointed to the cave.

“Ah....”

“What’s wrong?”

“Confucius. “I think I’ll have to wait a bit.”

“What are you waiting for?”

“Inside Hoegeum-dong, ten monks come to recite sutras three times a day: morning, lunch, and evening. Normally, when you recite a sutra, it takes more than one hour.”

I think I understand why Sima Ying said this.

This meant that if the monks stopped reciting sutras, those inside the Shaolin Temple would become suspicious and would flock around and notice an intruder.

I smiled at her and said,

“doesn't care. “Let’s go in.”

“yes?”

Didn't you say you would pass through the front and leave?

I walked into the cave with great strides.

She looked at this anxiously and soon followed behind.

The inside of the cave was brightly lit with torches, and the entire wall was covered with what appeared to be Buddhist scriptures.

“The Buddha of the Three Ages, Uippanyaparamita, Deukanyaparamita, Sammyaksambodhi, Goji, Prajnaparamita, Goddess of the Ages, Master of the Ages, Simu Sangju, Simu Deungdeungju, Neungjjei, Truth, Absolute.....” The sound of reciting a sutra echoed from inside the cave

.

As I heard the Buddhist scriptures, I felt that my morale was suppressed, perhaps because I was in a state of blood demon transformation.

I think it's because it's the teachings of Buddha.

However, I was not just full of fraud.

As I raised my Zen Qi to protect my body, I actually felt calmer as I listened to the sound of Buddhist sutras.

-The damn sound is driving me crazy.

The Blood Demon Sword could not withstand this.

This seemed like rat poison to the guy who was a magic sword made with resentment in mind.

‘Hold on a little bit.'

Because the sound of chanting sutras will soon stop.

I glanced at Sima Ying, who was following behind me.

She too was unaffected by the sound of Buddhist scriptures.

In the first place, it was natural because the mental techniques she learned were close to King Jeongjong's.

[My father is at the far end of Hoejin-dong.]

Sima Ying sent me a message.

It seems like they are deliberately trying to keep quiet.

[On the way, there are other prisoners trapped along the walls, and I'm worried that they will find me and make a fuss.]

Listening to Sima Ying's words, it seems like he came here once.

The Shaolin Temple certainly seems to have a benevolent disposition compared to other sects of the royal sect.

Even if it were my child, I would have been able to stop it till the end.

“don't worry.”

She looked puzzled by my reassuring words, but I didn't stop and went inside.

But as she went inside, her eyes widened.

That was because the prisoners locked in the gold prison on the wall were all lying down as if they were asleep.

“ah! “Why are they here?”

“well. “I guess I’m very sleepy.”

Although he said it in a joking tone, the essence of Jeongyo Hwanuicheong was planted in every step he took.

The prisoners who heard the footsteps cannot bear it because their seven Qi Gates are sealed and they cannot even handle internal energy.

Anyway, I put them to sleep so there won't be any fuss.

I continued into the cave.

The sound got closer and closer, and soon a sizable cavity appeared at the end of the cave.

-widely! widely! widely! “Muan or unconsciousness, unknown, unknown, unknown, no -no -no -no -no -no -no -no -no -no

-no -no -sized, Barley Salami, Baramil.

”

In the middle of them was a gold jade made of iron that glowed particularly black, and inside it, a middle-aged man could be seen sitting sedentary with his eyes closed.

He was none other than Wolakgeom Samachak.

‘Father-in-law.....'

Considering that his complexion is pale and gray, it is unclear whether it is due to the blockage of the spiracles or whether the internal injuries have not completely healed.

Sima Ying's eyes turned red as she looked at him like that.

The relationship between father and daughter seems to be heavenly.

“Oh!”

At that time, among the monks who were reciting Buddhist scriptures, a young monk who was sitting facing the entrance was startled when he spotted us.

At this, the other monks quickly got up from their seats.

A middle-aged monk who seemed to be the most senior among the monks shouted.

“Bodhisattva? How on earth did you get in? “You...”

The monk’s eyes naturally turned to my face wearing a mask.

Then, he couldn't hide his embarrassment when he saw red hair flickering in the torchlight.

“Blood Demon?”

As expected, he recognized me immediately.

At that time, my father-in-law, Sima Chak, who was sitting in a sitting position in the golden prison, opened his eyes.

I waved my arms around him and saluted him.

“My son-in-law is meeting my father-in-law.”

‘!!!'

At those words, the monks looked at me and my father-in-law in turn with wide eyes.

Who wouldn't be surprised to hear that Wolakgeom Sima Chak is a blood demon master?

A middle-aged monk shouted at me.

“A craftsman? “Are you saying you broke into the headquarters to steal Sima’s gift?”

I spoke to him casually.

“Someone would think that my father-in-law is the property of this temple.”

“Go away...”

It was before he could finish his sentence.

“What?”

As I wrapped my hands around and pulled, the middle-aged monk's body started shaking, then rose into the air and flew towards where I was.

Since the monk's martial arts skills were not that high, he did not have the talent to withstand the attack from thin air.

-closely!

I said as I grabbed the collar of the flying monk and lifted him up.

“I have no desire to commit murder in the realm of the unknown, so get out of here immediately.”

With those words, I threw him back as if he had been beaten.

A middle-aged monk was thrown to the ground, rolled several times, and was holding his face, not knowing what to do.

“I would have told you to get out of here.”

In response to my words, Sima Ying blocked the entrance to the cave and said,

“If we let them go, Shaolin monks will flock to us.”

“It’s okay, let me go.”

“yes?”

She looks like she doesn't understand at all.

So I spoke to the hesitating monks.

“Tell them that the current blood demon, the leader of the blood religion, would like to meet the monk of Shaolin Temple.”

‘!?'

All the monks could not contain their astonishment.

“Monk Bangjang?”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

The monks, frightened by my overbearing voice, soon ran outside.

Seeing them like that, Sima Ying said to me.

“Monk Bangjang? Confucius, I heard you came alone?”

I spoke to her casually.

“Trust me and watch over me.”

Sima Ying, who was staring at my face, nodded.

Then, holding the bundle of gold jade keys he had received from me, he ran to his father-in-law, Wolakgeom Samachak.

“father!”

Sima Chak looked at her and opened his mouth.

“You did something wrong. “Didn’t I tell you not to come?”

“Your father is trapped here, how can you not know!”

At Sima Ying’s words, my father-in-law shook his head.

While she was looking for the key in the key bag, my father-in-law looked at me and said.

“They said he suddenly disappeared, but he managed to return to his daughter’s side.”

It seems that Sima Ying heard about me.

I responded as if I was sorry.

“I’m sorry.”

My father-in-law said bluntly to my words.

“done.”

Since they returned safely, it sounds like that's it.

-Click!

When the door to Geumok opened, Sima Ying ran inside and hugged her father-in-law, crying.

“father. “Ugh.”

“How can a grown woman shed tears so easily? “Don’t cry.”

While saying that, my father-in-law patted her with a warm hand.

No matter how infamous they were, father and daughter were still father and daughter.

My father-in-law, who was patting Sima Ying, looked at me and said.

“This is it. “Go back.”

Sima Ying was startled by his words and jumped out of his arms and shouted.

“What do you mean? father!”

“Do you think the monks of Shaolin Temple are idiots?”

“yes?”

“In order to drive out the cold that has penetrated into the five organs and six organs and the bone marrow, I, the Jang Jing-gakju who has mastered the Nine-Yang Jin-gyeong, are needed as a treatment.”

“You haven’t fully received treatment?”

My father-in-law shook his head and answered Sima Ying’s question.

“Jang Jing-gakju judged that it would be dangerous to block the stoma if my internal injuries were healed, so he did not completely drive out the chill in my bone marrow.”

Even at Shaolin Temple, they used their brains in their own way.

My father-in-law was an expert who overcame obstacles.

It seems that such a person believed that he could escape if there was even a small opening, so he did not completely heal my father-in-law's internal injuries.

“The monks turned their heads.”

“If you don’t get rid of the cold completely, you’re bound to have a seizure sooner or later.”

“father!”

“If I can drive away the chill, I will go back no matter what. Until then, stay here....”

“Young-ah. “Can you please step aside for a moment?”

I passed Sima Ying and entered Geumok.

My father-in-law frowned and said.

“I don’t know why they did such a thing, but if Shaolin’s master and Arhat monks come, no matter how much they know how to use swords, it will be difficult to escape. So…”

“I just need to drive away the chill?”

With those words, I stood behind my father-in-law.

My father-in-law sighed and said.

“no use. Without Ouyang Jinjing, the chill cannot be driven away. “If I could drive away the chill that had penetrated my bone marrow just by my internal strength, then…!?”

At that time, my father-in-law turned his head with narrowed eyes.

It was natural for him to react this way.

This was because Yang Gang's energy was being injected through the palm he held.

-Gooooooo!

My father-in-law muttered in a surprised voice.

“How can you have this kind of strength?”

“I learned it through kite. Anyway, would it be okay if I just drive away the chill that has driven my father-in-law to his bones?”

“what?”

For the first time, my father-in-law was shocked by my casual words.
