Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 943

How to untangle a tangled thread (3)

“….”

Takmuja, who had been meditating for over three days while surrendering himself to the flowing Zen energy, opened his eyes.

Phew.

The sound of the wind blowing along the valley sounded strangely eerie.

“Huh.”

An old man with his back to his back stood next to Zhukwuzi and looked up at the sky.

“Why is it something unusual?”

Takmuja nodded.

“A guest has arrived.”

“What if you are a guest?”

“I didn’t know you would come here first. “I thought it was someone I would meet at some point, but…”

“It’s nothing new, but it’s hard to understand anything the brother-in-law says.”

“Tongcheon is coming.”

For a moment, the old man’s eyes wavered.

Takmuja smiled bitterly.

“It reminds me of the conversation I had with that guy Yeon Ho-jeong.”

It was quite a long time ago, but it felt as vivid as if we had a conversation yesterday.

‘How about going to Tongcheon Jinin instead? No matter how good your ability is, if the old ship decides to catch you, it’s not like you can’t catch it.’

‘…It’s not like I haven’t even thought about it.’

‘There must be something I don’t know about.’

‘Is there anyone who doesn’t have a story? However, although the people who are suffering are noticed, it does not seem that the way of heaven has been distorted yet. So I guess I’m lucky.’

‘In other words, do you mean that you will step forward if it seems like the capital of heaven will be distorted?’

‘I guess I should step forward before that.’

Zhuk Wuzi looked up at the sky.

I couldn’t see the sky clearly because of the hazy sky. It felt like there was a thick fog.

‘How can someone who used to sit still and look down at the world come now?’

I was surprised, but not that surprised.

As we live in the world, we can see that unexpected things often happen.

Tongcheon was like that too. I thought I would live on that bleak cliff for the rest of my life, but I never thought I would come here in person.

Even though he knows that he is being watched directly.

“Priests, please enter the silver forest.”

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“Hey man. “To whom are you speaking?”

The old man chuckled.

“I wouldn’t have to worry about this if my brother had put down his meditation and drawn his sword.”

“Don’t worry, go in and get a good night’s sleep.”

“I understand.”

The old man disappeared behind the fog.

Zhuk Wuzi swept the air with his hand. The Zen energy flowing like fog moved here and there. It was like a fish swimming in a sea without current.

‘I don’t know why…’

Takmuja closed his eyes.

‘Is the world about to begin to shake again?’

Zhuk Wuzi closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

At this peak, where the flow of time is different from the secular world, time sometimes flows faster or slower than the secular world.

What about now?

When Takmuja opened his eyes again, the world was full of darkness.

It was night. It was a night with a full moon, but it was difficult to see the beautiful night sky because of the fog-like coolness.

Instead, the person who harbored the primal fear of the night was already sitting across from Takmuja.

Skinny appearance. The skin was dead black and the eyes were bloodshot.

The loose clothing was black, darker than the darkness. I don’t know what kind of dye was poured into it, but it was so dark that it looked like there was a black hole where the body would have been.

So the two looked at each other in silence.

How much time has passed?

“It will be difficult to last long in this sea of sea, but shouldn’t we take care of the business as soon as possible?”

Takmuja’s voice was as calm as always and playful, like that of an innocent child.

But his eyes were different. The eyes, which were deep and clear like a lake, were bristling scary unlike usual. His eyes were so majestic that even ghosts would run away in fright.

The in-house Tong Cheon Jin-in opened his mouth.

“This is my first time seeing you in person like this.”

The voice was muddy. There wasn’t even phlegm, but there was a hissing sound.

Now that I think about it, my once neat hair has fallen out here and there and has become thin, exposing half of my head. The dark red skin was covered with a lot of blue veins, making it look like someone with a weak heart would faint at once.

The corners of Zhuo Muzi’s mouth rose.

“Do you like it?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s about your appearance that has been ruined by foreign affairs.”

The corners of Tong Tian Jin’s mouth also turned upward like a tactile figure.

While I was very thin, my skin also lost its elasticity, and all of my facial skin was raised along the corners of my mouth. It was a bizarre expression.

“At our level, we shouldn’t be obsessed with the appearance of royalties.”

“I have eyes that can see and a mind that can think, so how can I not be obsessed? Just by looking at the exterior, you can see the danger of the god you serve.”

“There is nothing more dangerous than judging nine by looking at just one. How can a person who has been called the greatest Taoist since Sampungjin say things that only uneducated people in the world would say?”

“You don’t seem to know that you can tell ten by just looking at one.”

“It is a bad habit to criticize the way of others because it is different from your own.”

“If I were truly that kind of person, I would have ostracized the Shaolin authorities. “Not all paths are the same. Looking at your face, steeped in the magic path, the saying, ‘One degree is one step, one magic is one chapter,’ comes to mind again.”

“You have a narrow-minded view.”

“Was it that hard?”

“hmm?”

“They say that divine abilities are not something a Taoist should pursue, but after losing those abilities, did you feel like you were nothing?”

Tong Tianjin’s eyes narrowed.

A subtle sadness oozed from Takmuja’s eyes, which were full of majesty.

“I heard about it from Yongdu Ark. “At some point in the past, heavenly signs were no longer visible.”

“Stop it.”

“I heard that he was even happier because he was the kind of person who clicked his tongue asking why a Taoist who should follow the Tao would rely on such magical magic to use it.”

“….”

“You, who are said to have continued the entire march, regretted it so much that you made a hole in the city wall you had built?”

Tong Tian Jinyin, who was quietly glaring at Zhuo Wuzi, smiled coldly.

“I guess back then, like you now, I was so steeped in the world that I wasn’t perfect.”

“….”

“But since it wasn’t perfect, I was able to open my eyes to another way, so I guess it was a blessing in disguise.”

“What the hell….”

“Let’s stop talking about him. “We did not hesitate to travel a thousand miles to slander each other.”

Takmuja, who was looking at Tongcheon Jinin, nodded.

“You tell me.”

“I have come to negotiate.”

“Negotiation?”

It was an unexpected remark. Negotiation?

“As you know, it is difficult for us to move while you are watching me. Of course, that goes for you too.”

In fact, Zhuo Wuzi could not move from this place even before Tong Tian Jin-in fell.

There was a reason, but I had never really told anyone why. A clear reason was not even told to Seung Hyeon Jin-in, who currently serves as an officer of the shaman.

In other words, even if it were not Tongcheon Jinin, Zhuo Wuzi would not have been able to move for a while.

If it really seemed like the world was going to be swept up in a war, I would have given up everything and gone down, but it was still okay. Moreover, I thought it would have been better because the embers of an unexpected disaster called Tongcheonjinin were burning.

‘I don’t know.’

Takmuja was sure. Tongcheon Jinin thought that the best shaman expert was trapped in this peak only because of him.

Tong Tian Jin-in continued.

“I will speak openly. “I will die for you.”

“…?!”

Zhu Muzi’s eyes widened slightly.

“Are you willing to die?”

“exactly. No matter how much I become a servant of a blood god and keep an eye on the world, I can’t do such things anymore if I don’t have a body, right? So I will die for you.”

Even though it is his life, he speaks as if it is nothing. It would be difficult for Taoists who achieved the Tao or monks who achieved the Dharma to say that they would die so obediently.

Takmuja said, once again feeling the danger of magic.

“so?”

“If I die and disappear, you will have no reason to stay here anymore. From your perspective, the world will seem to be on the verge of collapse, so you will have no choice but to descend.”

“….”

“Go down and kill the Shinhwa cult leader.”

It was a sight to behold.

Zhuk Wuzi frowned.

“The head of the Shinhwa cult is one of the three religions and can be considered your ally. How can you ask me to kill him?”

Tong Tian Jinyin sneered.

“A friend? “Who would say that?”

“what?”

“He’s just one of those guys who pretends to be the owner, forgetting about the owner who went away for a while.”

“…!”

“But the martial arts skills of the Myth Cultist are amazing. To be honest, among the people you call Seongcheon, the only one who can compete with him is the Three Emperors.”

It was a very high evaluation. Even though he said that he was a nasty person who took his master’s place, he also told me that his skills were certain.

Takmuja smiled strangely.

“Aren’t you ignoring Seongcheon too much? “I think it would be possible to sort out the masters served by cultists at the three military levels.”

“Please don’t say things you don’t mean. Eumje Ha Eungyo has been captured by the Four Eums. “The only damage suffered by the Saeum cult leader was some internal injuries and a few scratches.”

“I guess so. “You would have had to fight all kinds of battles before you got involved with the cult leader.”

“I won’t deny it. However, I can assure you that even if it had been in perfect condition, Eumje would not have been a match for the Four Eum Cultists.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Takmuja suddenly bursts into laughter.

Tong Tian Jinyin frowned.

“What’s so funny?”

“Even if you have the eyes of wisdom that can measure the energy of the heavens, you have not entered the state of infinite infinity, so it is not strange to think like that.”

“….”

“Did you say that the leader of the Saeum Church suffered internal and external injuries?”

“I suffered some damage.”

“If you inflicted that much damage on the leader of the Four Eumsects with a body that is not in perfect condition, it means that you are at least close to the mark in terms of pure skill.”

“That sounds interesting.”

“The world calls Seongcheon the Immortal Emperor and the Three Princes, but in reality, there is no clear gap in martial arts between us. Rather, in some cases, it is our fight that even the God of Power can be defeated by the Four Kings. Ah, are you now the Five Kings?”

“….”

“Still, if you want to show off that we are part of the same family, it’s okay to not say that. No matter what you say, I will only see the world through my own eyes.”

Tong Tian Jinyin spoke in a gloomy voice.

“How about this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Originally, Shinhwa tried to take control of the imperial palace. “But I failed.”

“It is proof that the way of heaven has not been distorted.”

“That’s why the Shinhwa cult leader made the move himself.”

“…?!”

Zhu Muzi’s expression suddenly changed.

Was his changed expression interesting? Tong Tianjin also burst into laughter.

“Do you think the emperor can stop the Xinhua cult leader? Yes, there is a spirit demon next to him. “Do you think the Shinhwa cult leader will go alone to rip out the emperor’s head?”

“…!!”

“I think we can finally have a conversation.”
