Episode 255: The Secret of Haereung Island (3)
Lim Pyeong-il couldn’t even move.
I had goosebumps all over my body and felt cold.
“I can’t do that…”
He couldn’t keep his mouth shut at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
This is because the master, called ‘Eumgoe’, was frantically beating the two guys wearing red masks. And that too with bare hands.
Powerlessness beyond imagination. Resistance was aningless in the face of an overwhelming presence.
Damn it! bang-! Kwasik-!!
They weren’t even given a chance to scream.
The beating was so indiscriminate that it could not be seen in detail with the naked eye.
Only after one more breath had passed did the loud hitting sound stop.
At the sa ti, their bodies went limp.
Go Soo, who was called ‘Eumgoe’, naturally began to search through their arms.
After a while, a voice of disappointnt ca out from my lips.
“Hmph. “I don’t have any of my loot…”
Jin-san Yu, who was watching the scene, walked towards him with his back to him.
“Just by looking at them, they look like beggars. Anyway, good job. “Please co back for a mont.”
Yu Jin-san, who changed positions with Yoo Seol, looked down at the two of them.
Both of them seed to have lost consciousness and didn’t even move.
At the ti when death appeared in his eyes.
Yu Seol, who was behind him, was approaching Lim Pyeong-il with a curious face.
“mister.”
Is it because I saw the formidable force just a mont ago? Lim Pyeong-il was startled and took half a step back.
“…?”
“Don’t worry. “We may not be nice people, but we don’t hurt anyone.”
Yu Jin-san, who was twisting the masked warrior’s neck, shouted behind his back.
“What are you talking about? “What a great person he is.”
Yoo Seol looked at Im Pyeong-il and slightly shook his head once.
At the sa ti, he gave an expression that told not to believe it because it was a lie.
Lim Pyeong-il was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even move. What kind of situation is this?
“But what is that?”
Yu Seol’s eyes turned to his left arm. It was a bag of rice that he risked his life to steal.
Lim Pyeong-il, who felt the gaze, responded by hugging it tightly with both hands.
“It’s food.”
“tooth. I won’t take it from you. But you look a lot like soone I know.”
Lim Pyeong-il knew very well who it was talking about. That’s because I heard it from Eugene San earlier.
“You an Lim Pyung-su? “This is my younger brother.”
At that mont, Yoo Seol clapped her hands in joy.
“wow! really? Mr. Pyeongsu is my friend!”
It was only when he saw Yoo Seol’s brightly smiling face that Lim Pyeong-il relaxed a little.
“It’s so… unbelievable. “How could our immature layman have the two of you as friends?”
At that ti, Yu Jin-san, who had finished the work, left his seat, stood up, and approached .
“Your brother is a charlatan from Hyangnan County. “He was walking the path with the envy of the local martial arts people.”
“Is that really true?”
“Why would you lie? Not long ago, he almost got into a fight with a an guy nad Gu Yang-ho, but we saved him.”
Lim Pyeong-il’s eyes turned red in an instant.
“Ah… thank you. thank you so much.”
I can’t believe I bring you such happy news.
His tone of voice and expression were filled with sincerity. How could I not be grateful?
The two brothers, in turn, owed their lives to the n in front of them.
“There’s nothing to worry about. “Anyway, what are you doing while you’re still on this island?”
“…There are people who need to be protected.”
Even though he did not hear the details, Jinsan Yu had an intuition of sothing.
There must be people hiding sowhere to avoid the masked warriors.
I had a lot of questions, but there was no rush. It was clear that if they trusted them, they would tell it on their own.
At that ti, soone’s moans were heard from not far away.
“Oooooh!”
Yuseol looked up the hill and muttered.
“I put you to sleep earlier, but I guess you woke up.”
It was a person wearing a black mask who had tied him up behind a tree and was about to interrogate him.
It seed that his granddaughter had fainted while he was away.
Since it was close to here, the three walked there.
For so reason, he was in a lot of pain.
“Aaaah!!”
What on earth is going on?
Jinsan Yu looked at his granddaughter and asked.
“Why is he like this?”
He shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t understand why.
“no. “You didn’t hit .”
He was screaming and his whole body was shaking.
The whites of the eyes visible under the mask were already exposed.
At that ti, Lim Pyeong-il, who was watching from behind, muttered in a low voice.
“It seems that the dicinal effectiveness of red sedge has diminished. “If you leave it like this, you will die.”
Yujinsan was also the na of a dicinal herb I had never heard of before.
But there was one thing I could guess.
“Is it by any chance that they are being cultivated there?”
In the distance where his finger was pointing, there was a field of dicinal herbs dyed in red.
Lim Pyeong-il nodded and continued his explanation.
“you’re right. “If you take that, the blood flow throughout your body will temporarily expand.”
Now I think I understand why the red-masked warriors were making strange movents.
Jinsan Yu pointed to the person wearing the black mask with his eyes.
“But looking at that, it looks like the side effects are serious.”
“yes. If you do not take it consistently, your blood vessels will contract endlessly, leading to death.”
As he finished speaking, the pained body of the masked warrior went limp. life was lost.
“That’s so scary. “I can’t believe there was such an evil herb in the world.”
Lim Pyeong-il said, pointing with his index finger to the wall surrounding the center of the island.
“These are the seeds that the devil over there brought with him when he ca to this island.”
“Are you talking about the warrior dragon called the Beast King?”
When Yu Jin-san ntioned his na, Lim Pyeong-il asked with a surprised expression.
“…did you know?”
“The reason we ca to this island is to catch that guy. So, I would like your cooperation.”
After finishing speaking, Jin-san Yu saw hope in Lim Pyeong-il’s eyes, which were full of despair.
Finally, he spoke in a trembling voice.
“Everyone offered Buddhist prayers every day. I hope a day like this cos….”
“I hear you say you will cooperate. Then tell now. “What should we do to catch him?”
He looked around and answered, putting a bag of rice on his shoulder.
“Follow . “This place will be discovered soon, so we need to move to a safe place.”
Even after seeing Yin Kai’s powerlessness, he still seed not relieved.
This ans that the warrior dragon and his subordinates are scary.
You will have to find out little by little how great these guys are.
Jinsan Yu put the luggage on his granddaughter’s back. Most of the contents were snacks brought from the cabin of the warship.
Soon after, Joson followed him and moved sowhere.
Let’s move on like that in a while. Perhaps bored with the story, he followed closely next to Lim Pyeong-il and asked.
“But why are you wearing different colored masks?”
“It ans class. “The White Mask is called the White Snake and was a resident of this island in the past.”
“Then you were always fine?”
“That’s right. Until I got addicted to red sedge and was brainwashed. “Now they are so damaged that normal thinking is impossible, so they are no different from corpses.”
The weaker your martial arts skills, the more vulnerable you will be to the side effects of red sedge.
Yu Seol, who had been listening to his words indifferently, muttered in a gloomy voice.
“…Poor.”
“And the Black Death and the Red Death were the Murim people and officials who ca to subdue this place.”
The black master was capable of handling sword skills, and the red master seed to be at least at the peak to super peak level.
Likewise, they also seed to be addicted to and controlled by red sedge.
“Is there anything else?”
“yes. Although there are very few, there are blue mask wearing blue masks. “They are the ones who have reached the border of peace, so be careful.”
Yu Jin-san, who had been listening quietly, asked with a puzzled expression.
“Hwa-kyung’s body won’t beco addicted to herbs like that, right?”
“you’re right. “From what I heard from our captain, the warrior dragon used evil techniques.”
Perhaps there was soone else commanding the resistance forces, including Lim Pyeong-il.
I was curious who the leader was, but I would find out soon anyway. There was no need to ask first.
“We just need to be careful about the governnt building.”
“no. “There is more.”
Yu Jin-san asked with a puzzled expression.
“There’s more?”
“yes. “I heard there are people wearing golden masks inside that wall.”
“There are so many different things. “What are they again?”
“I’ve never seen it, so I don’t know. “Our captain is the only person who has entered the wall and survived so far.”
“Well, you’ll find out little by little.”
Jinsan Yu didn’t ask any more questions either.
It was about a day after trekking through the mountains.
There was a ruined temple in front.
When the distance got closer to a certain distance, Lim Pyeong-il stopped his guard and said.
“This way. “Please just follow behind .”
“hmm. “Is that temple the headquarters?”
“It’s one of the hiding places. “The headquarters is sowhere else.”
It seed that there were more people resisting than expected.
It was an island where tens of thousands of people lived in the past, so there was nothing strange about it.
After a while, when we reached the entrance of the temple, Lim Pyeong-il gave a signal.
Beep-! Beep-! Beep-!
It was a bird chirping in three short bursts.
After a while, two people holding swords appeared from the inside of the temple, where the ceiling was half caved in.
“Thank you for your hard work, brother. “You’ve finally found so food.”
“huh. “This is all I can do, but I can handle it for a while.”
“I’m so glad. But what about the kids in the back?”
Lim Pyeong-il’s face, which had been filled with darkness until now, showed a faint smile for the first ti.
“They are the ones who will liberate us from this hell.”
“yes? “What is that…”
At that mont, Yu Seol waved his hand behind him and narrowed one eye.
“nice to et you. “We call it the yin-yang pair.”
“Yin and yang…double monsters? What on earth are they? “You need to explain, brother.”
It ant that if I couldn’t understand it, I wouldn’t let it in.
Of course it has to be that way.
Children with neat clothes and beautiful stains in a hell full of despair. It was sothing completely unimaginable.
At that mont, Lim Pyeong-il spoke with a serious expression to the confused warriors.
“Speak politely. “He is the one who defeated three enemy warriors with his bare hands.”
The two warriors imdiately asked in disbelief.
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
“It doesn’t make sense, does it?”
I can’t argue with them forever.
Jinsan Yu, who had been watching silently, sent a signal to his granddaughter with a glance.
Then Yoo Seol quietly stretched out one hand.
Deukdeuk-deuk-!
The fallen leaves on the floor swirled around and covered their bodies.
Imdiately, their toes lifted off the ground.
“Kaa!”
“omg!”
The warriors were frightened and flailed their limbs.
I was so surprised that my face turned pale.
If it were like usual, they would have joked around a bit more, but Yuseol imdiately lowered the two to the ground. Because I felt like sothing would go wrong if I continued.
“Are you very surprised? “I’m sorry, my grandpa told to…”
Yoo Seol looked embarrassed as if she was sorry.
But now, nothing was heard from the two.
One of them leaned against the wall and the other bent his knees, as if his legs were loose.
It seed like he still couldn’t calm his shock.
“Brother, I don’t know what’s going on, but let’s go in first.”
“thank you. “I’ll see you later.”
Lim Pyeong-il patted the two on their shoulders and passed by in front of them.
Entering the interior of the temple, he lifted up a bundle of straw spread on the floor. Then there were stairs going down inside.
Jin-san Yu first asured the inside with his senses.
I felt the energy of people buzzing in a space of just over 100 pyeong.
“You an everyone was hiding in a place like this?”
“There is nothing we can do to survive. Please co in quickly.”
Jo-son, who followed him down a little later, was quite surprised.
The villagers were all gathered together and tangled together, and the horror was indescribable.
Lifeless eyes. And everyone’s bones were thin because they hadn’t eaten so much. It wouldn’t be strange to say that he was alive because he couldn’t die.
I expected it, but it was such a miserable sight.
At that ti, the voices of children full of joy were heard.
“uh? “The man is here!”
“Hmph. Why did you co so late!?”
Children who looked to be about five or six years old rushed over and hugged Lim Pyeong-il’s waist.
Now he looked happier than ever.
“Hey, uncle, I brought you sothing to eat! You were very hungry, weren’t you?”
It seed like the reason he was so obsessed with rice bags was because of these children.
Jo-son watched the scene in silence.
After a while.
Suddenly, a girl with her hair split into two ponytails approached Yooseol.
Although he was small and scruffy, his big, round eyes seed full of innocence.
“But who is your sister?”
Yu Seol pulled the ear of the girl who approached her as if she thought it was cute.
