Chapter 64
Chapter 64
The members were laughing, thinking it was a joke. Mok Wigun spoke to the Light Wind Unit members, who still hadn't grasped the situation.
"Seven days. In seven days, you'll be able to master the basics of compressing your internal energy. On top of that, you also have to train in formations."
"Formations?"
Mok Wigun was planning to train the Light Wind Unit in formations. The Light Wind Unit was still weak. Their number was only seven. So it was necessary to teach them formations to maximize their combat power.
All sorts of people were gathering. The Divine Physician Valley, the Mok family, the Baek family, the Huashan Sect. There was a rumor that even Shaolin had sent people, and the masters near Mount Xiaohua had also moved. So they had to get stronger. Otherwise, there was only death.
It wasn't just words; the probability of actually dying was high. But the Light Wind Unit members were happy, saying they would become stronger than they were now.
"Yes. It's good when you don't know."
Mok Wigun muttered with a laugh. Seeing that, Pyon Juksu chuckled.
"Why are you laughing?"
Dan Bulseok asked.
"You guys have never experienced him training properly, have you?"
"Pardon? We've been training continuously until now. Haven't you seen us from the side?"
Pyon Juksu shook his head.
"What you've done so far is just child's play."
Other people didn't know, but Pyon Juksu knew. What it meant for Mok Wigun to train properly. Pyon Juksu suddenly felt sorry for the Light Wind Unit members.
"You guys know he's good at medicine, right?"
"Of course. We've benefited greatly from that."
"You'll probably regret that in a little while."
Dan Bulseok had a confused expression.
"Experience it. Then you'll know."
The legion that stood at the forefront of the war against the Demon King. Those strong warriors had all said the same thing. That they would rather fight the Demon King than receive the compressed training. What Mok Wigun was about to do was that very training.
As he said that, he saw Mok Wigun looking around. Looking around, there was no sign of people, and there was a spacious place good for training. Pyon Juksu, knowing that the time had come, quietly took Mugwang and moved away.
"Oh my. I'm going to be busy again."
Pyon Juksu stretched his body here and there. Mugwang, who was following him, asked with a puzzled look.
"Senior, why are you doing that?"
"You're going to see something interesting from now on."
Pyon Juksu pointed to a remote place far away and said.
"You go over there and train on your own."
Although he didn't understand, Mugwang went to the place he was told and began to train.
Pyon Juksu went to the training ground, and after a while, a scream was suddenly heard. But he didn't pay much attention. Pyon Juksu had told him in advance, and it was natural for all sorts of sounds to be made during training.
But suddenly, it became quiet. To be honest, he was curious. What kind of training were they doing? So he went to the back.
"Gasp!"
The Light Wind Unit members were all lying down as if they were dead. Just in case, he looked closely, and fortunately, they were breathing. But there was no other movement at all. If you just looked at them, they looked like corpses.
To those Light Wind Unit members, Mok Wigun and Pyon Juksu began to treat them. When Mok Wigun finished first and stood up, Pyon Juksu followed and treated them. Mok Wigun with needles, and Pyon Juksu with acupressure. After the treatment, they came to their senses and stood up after a while.
When the treatment was all over, Mok Wigun said.
"Alright. Let's start again."
Mugwang saw it. The blood draining from the faces of the Light Wind Unit members.
"What are you doing here? Go over there."
Pyon Juksu put his hand on Mugwang's shoulder and took him to the place he had been before.
"No, senior. What did you do to make them in that state in such a short time?"
The Light Wind Unit members were quite capable martial artists. He was curious about what kind of harsh training had made such people in that state.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Just know that it's a training where everything is extremely compressed."
"But why are you going over there, senior? Are you also training them?"
"Hmm. Should I say I'm helping with the mental aspect? It's something only I can do. Anyway, there's something like that."
Then Pyon Juksu moved again in the direction of the Light Wind Unit. And after a while, a scream was heard. And after a while, it became quiet. He repeated that.
After repeating that several times, they took a break and then began to move again. But the Light Wind Unit members' eyes were unusual. What should I say? Should I say they had a murderous feeling?
"What's wrong? Everyone has eyes like they're going to eat someone."
"Leave them alone. It's amazing that they're even sane right now."
While moving, the Light Wind Unit members didn't say a single word of idle talk. The first time they opened their mouths was when they stopped at the next resting place.
"Alright. Shall we start again here?"
At Mok Wigun's words, the members' bodies trembled.
"Young master. Please kill me."
Gu Mungoe prostrated himself and said.
"What's wrong? It's just the beginning."
Mok Wigun said softly.
"I know it's hard. But you have to suffer to the point of death now to be able to live when it's really important."
After saying that, he told everyone to follow him to a corner. But a truly unbelievable thing happened. Gu Mungoe, after checking the situation, ran away.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Pyon Juksu had already grabbed the back of Gu Mungoe's neck and was dragging him to where the party was.
"Ugh-ah-ah-ah!"
Gu Mungoe, who was making an incomprehensible scream. He struggled to not go somehow, but his resistance was useless. And then the same situation as before was repeated. Pyon Juksu moved to the side of the Light Wind Unit, a scream, and when he went to see, the members who seemed to have died were alive again.
At first, Mugwang thought it was a very strange thing. But as time passed, he even got a bizarre and eerie feeling.
And the same situation was repeated for seven days. In the meantime, the Light Wind Unit members' eyes were fierce, then shone brightly, and then changed to indifferent eyes. And now, after seven days, they had changed to clear and gentle eyes.
* * *
The entrance to Mount Xiaohua was not usually a place crowded with people. But now, countless people were lined up.
"No. To think that so many people have gathered."
Hwangbo Jun said. He had come at the news that the thousand-year-old fire carp had appeared, but he had not known that such a large crowd would be gathered.
"Brother. But is the person we saw when we left Chang'an really that person, Mugwang?"
"I wonder. I also only saw him briefly before, so I'm not sure, but he seemed to be that person..."
The siblings of the Hwangbo family had found a party to accompany them in Chang'an. Since they would be moving along the road, there would be no particular danger, but it would be better to accompany reliable people if possible.
So they had looked around and had found a person who looked like Mugwang. Who was Mugwang? As one of the Three Eccentrics, he was a master widely known in the martial world. So they approached him and tried to accompany him. Of course, they were rejected.
"A considerable number of people have already gone inside, so we should also go in quickly."
"Brother. I hear people are coming from Shaolin, so how about we ask them?"
Hwangbo Jun shook his head at his younger sister Hwangbo Ryeong's words.
"It's not even certain that people have left from Shaolin, and even if they did, it will take at least ten more days for them to arrive."
As the two were talking, they were looking around here and there, and all sorts of people were grabbing them.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"There are things to use inside. You can just look, so come and see for a moment."
There were so many merchants that a market had opened. On top of that, there was even a temporarily built inn. But most of the people were just wandering around this vicinity. There were almost no groups going inside.
"It seems most of the people who are going in have already gone in."
Hwangbo Jun contemplated whether he should just go back. Because it was too dangerous for the two of them to go inside. At that moment, Hwangbo Ryeong poked his side.
"Brother. Look over there."
"Where?"
"Over there."
Hwangbo Ryeong pointed to one side with her finger. There was Mok Wigun's party. The siblings, thinking it was a good thing, ran over to that side.
"We meet again here."
This time too, Dan Bulseok stepped forward and greeted them. Dan Bulseok said to the two with a calm face.
"What is it?"
"We are looking for a party to go inside. But are you perhaps the elder, Mugwang?"
At Hwangbo Jun's words, Mugwang stepped forward.
"Do you know me?"
"Ah. So you were Senior Mugwang. I am Hwangbo Jun of the Hwangbo family."
"Oh ho. The Hwangbo family."
Although the Hwangbo family was not included in the Five Great Families, it was a place that was quite well-known. Along with the Yue family of Shandong, it was a family that represented the Shandong region.
"By any chance, what is your relationship with Hwangbo Gang?"
"He is my father."
"Oh. Is that so?"
"This is my younger sister, Hwangbo Ryeong."
Mugwang had a slight connection with Hwangbo Gang.
"Are they children you know?"
When Pyon Juksu asked, Mugwang answered politely.
"I know the father of these children."
Hwangbo Jun and Hwangbo Ryeong were surprised at Mugwang's attitude. It was because Mugwang was using honorifics to a person who looked much younger.
Besides, what kind of person was Mugwang? The words that represented his personality were eccentric and arrogant. For such a person to lower himself like this.
"Excuse me, but who are you?"
Hwangbo Jun asked Mugwang cautiously.
"Ah. This person is... hmm... that is..."
Mugwang was at a loss as to what to say. Because he had decided not to tell the fact that he was a master who had returned to his youth. He hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
"Yes. Let's just say he's Physician Pyon. He's a person of great skill."
"Ah. Is that so?"
Although it was a bit strange, he thought that if their fields were different, they could respect each other. But an even more absurd thing happened.
"What is it?"
"Ah. Because they are children that Mugwang knows."
What is this again? A person whom Mugwang, who was treated with utmost respect, was cautious of appeared.
"They're the children I saw last time, right? We can't go together."
Hwangbo Jun immediately knew that the person who had just spoken was the leader of this group. Because when he spoke, everyone followed without a word.
"If it were up to me, I would want to go together, but because of circumstances..."
Mugwang bid farewell, feeling a little sorry. Hwangbo Jun muttered as he watched Mugwang's party moving away.
"Hah. I can't believe this."
To think that the great Mugwang would show such an appearance.
"Brother. Who are those people?"
"Something is strange. I'll have to find out who they are."
Hwangbo Jun decided to find out who Mugwang's party was.
At that time, Mok Wigun was preparing to enter the Folding Snow Valley.
"I see there are a few things we need."
As Mok Wigun came, he saw that most of the things were unnecessary, but there were a few useful things among them.
"Let's go, the two of us."
When Mok Wigun said that to Pyon Juksu, the Light Wind Unit members stood up.
"We will escort you."
"You have other things to do."
Mok Wigun told them to go around and gather information. In particular, he ordered them to find out about the Folding Snow Valley and Seomun Daecheol, and also about the people who had gone in first.
"I understand."
And so, Mok Wigun and Pyon Juksu moved to look at the things. But suddenly, a strange energy was felt. Mok Wigun looked towards Mount Xiaohua. Pyon Juksu was also looking in that direction.
"You felt it too, right?"
"Yes. People have died. And quite a lot of them."
Something was happening inside Mount Xiaohua.
