...Chapter 145: Great Yokai (1)...
20 Minutes ago.
The dark and cold cave.
Relying on the lantern he had prepared beforehand, he moved forward.
It was the hidden tenth peak. It could only be entered through the Heavenly Mountain Peak.
As he entered the cave, Ha Baek-ryeong felt a strange chill in his body.
Brmr!
Vibration in his stomach.
And he doesn't even know the reason.
[Wife, are you okay?]
[. I'm fine.]
As her expression was not good, she asked with a panicked face.
Mak Wei-gang was expecting a treasure within, and not long after that they walked to the deepest part.
[Wife. Waita!]
[What is that?]
Mak Wei-gang stepped forward.
He did not understand why, but he took out a small stone and threw it forward.
Sir!
At that moment, the stone oxidized and turned into dust in the air.
Red streaks of light are created in the air.
[Hah ... defense technique?]
What stood there was another ordeal. Mak Wei-gang was sweating coldly, this technique looked terrifying.
It is easy to get seriously injured.
[Can you remove it?]
[It won't be too difficult.]
As a woman who shared the ancestral blood that created it, she could take it down.
[However, it is impossible to cancel it completely. It would only be possible if you came.]
Even though he had learned a few things, he was not perfect.
And technique is not something that can be mastered in a short period of time.
Woong!
When he touched something, a red line floated up and then created something like an entrance.
Hearing that, Mak Wei-gang smiled.
It was for this reason that he made her fall in love with him.
[We can move now, my wife.]
Mak Wei-gang touched her lovingly. After walking in, the entrance of the cave, which seemed to be the last point, was revealed.
The entrance was blocked by a stone wall.
rr!
Ha Baek-ryeong could feel a stronger vibration than before. He didn't know what it was at first, but now he understood.
[Pure energy vibrates.]
His father had the ability to recognize energy and he had learned it from his father.
This pure energy makes these vibrations.
[Suami .. I feel bad about this.]
[What do you mean? We came all this way!]
[Something dangerous inside.]
The vibration of pure energy meant that the energy within the cave was bad.
Something bad is lurking inside. But despite his warning, the man insisted on opening the stone door.
After he realized that he would not listen, he decided to open it.
Grrs!
When the heat comes out, the energy can be felt again.
Doors open on both sides. When opened in a strange way, the torch inside the cave lit up by itself.
Woong!
The large cavity inside was enough to fill the entire peak. The moment they entered the place, the first thing that caught their attention was the talisman.
‘My!’
Seeing that, Ha Baek-ryeong was shocked. On each talisman were written things for defense.
He could not even imagine how dangerous it was inside.
‘It's bad. Too dangerous!’
He wanted to leave immediately, but Mak Wei-gang found something and laughed out loud.
[Ha ha ha! I finally found it.]
He ran to the middle of the cave.
A rocky pedestal in a strange shape with a 10-meter-high black stone statue stood there.
“Segregulation!”
What Mak Wei-gang saw was a thread of shiny black whip around the statue.
Unlike usual, the whip was so long that it wrapped the entire statue.
[H-Home! wait]
But Mak Wei-gang stopped listening to him. No matter how much she pleaded, it seemed like the man could not hear her anymore.
Nah!
He grabbed the handle of the whip and pulled it.
Krrs!
At that moment, an amazing thing happened. The whip around the huge monster stone statue was shortened and the whip around the face, which was the last one, opened.
Shhh!
The face of the beast was revealed.
‘Come?’
Mak Wei-gang was standing right in front of the statue looking at him.
The beast had a fox face. However, the corner of the fox's mouth, which was made of black stone, moved.
[H-Home! Stopping!]
She ran and tried to stop her husband, who kept moving closer to the statue.
However, by the time he took a step ahead, the whip moved.
Fortunately, all four of his legs were still tied.
Woong!
[. No.]
Ha Baek-ryeong couldn't even lift her head because of the incredible energy that was moving.
A terrifying evil energy pressured him to move forward.
Clenched his teeth and tried to pull Mak Wei-gang's wrist.
[Suami .. please! We have to run! Please please!]
But he didn't move.
Confused, he looked at her.
[Huh?]
His eyes were colored with golden light. This man was completely possessed by this fox energy.
‘Gold?’
As he looked at the golden light, something flashed through his mind.
He knew the beast in front of him.
‘Golden hair..’
That was.
- a disgusting creature.
A creepy voice echoed around.
Pangs!
[Ac!]
An unknown force attacked him.
Ha Baek-ryeong flew up and rolled around on the ground. Her innocent pretty face was covered in blood in an instant.
The upper body of this huge creature was full of golden hair.
[Ohhhh.]
Nine tails moving overhead.
Seeing that, he ran to escape from the cave without looking back and closed the stone door.
“Nine tails?”
“Come?”
The Elders who heard what was happening inside the peak were shocked. A creature with nine tails.
Nine-tailed fox of legend, Gumiho.
Who would have thought that a magical creature, a legend, was trapped inside the peak.
Gyeong Cheon-guk asked in a serious voice.
“Rindu. Did you say golden hair?”
“Y-yes. Brilliant gold.”
“No..”
With trembling eyes, he saw a roaring peak.
“What is it? Elder Gyeong?”
ask Ark Young.
“Not nine-tailed fox.”
“Hah? Not a nine-tailed fox?”
“...from the ancient book, there is a monster that supposedly once existed in the Yin Dynasty.”
“Yin?”
The Yin Dynasty was very ancient.
the great “Yokai has been called by many names over the centuries. Like Tamamo-no-mae, pale-faced scholar.”.
A creature once called a yokai. And at some point, they went from calling them yokai to monsters.
It is said that the last traces of this monster were defeated by a man in Japan, but it seems that the information is not true.
“Our Gyeong family stayed with the Ha family for generations. This is why I have heard from my father about the deeds of the ancestors.”
“Keep You..”.
“The ancestors said that this great yokai was trying to shake the world, so people went to get rid of it. However, I heard that the great yokai had the power of the entire nation of Murim, and since they could not defeat him, they sealed him. Ha... and it must be in the Kunlun Mountains.”
Gyeong Cheon-guk is surprised that the holiest place for them is where the monster was sealed.
Come to think of it, it might be a God mission to monitor these monsters.
“Is the monster dangerous?”
“Not only dangerous. This golden-haired nine-tailed fox was one of the Three Yokai.”
The ancient book on spirits mentions 5 Spirit Beasts and 3 Yokai. Spirit Beasts were said to be born of a sacred nature, but this trio was different.
Evil creatures are born from the worst.
“Haa..”
“Is this what God is talking about? The demon that the heavens fear?”
Everyone has the same thoughts. Just then, Ha Baek-ryeong shouted.
“How long will you talk? Are you going to let my husband die?”
Hearing his words, the Elders felt like they had to do something.
It was not that they were going to save the man, but at least do something to not let the creature out.
Elder Seong spoke,
“Let's do it. Elder Ark lives with the Gods and so does the woman. Let us all go there. ”
He proposed a separation in two.
However, Ha Baek-ryeong objected and said she would follow them, but they didn't want her there.
“I'm the only one who can open it, what can the Elders do to enter?”
They had no choice but to take him.
Everyone, except Ark Young, who was the least powerful among the Elders, went to that peak.
At the entrance of the sealed place, the Elders looked at the stone door with tense faces.
A loud roar from within. The cave trembled as if it was about to collapse at the next moment.
Those who heard it felt pure fear.
‘A very different energy.’
Even though the door was closed, they could still feel it. The Elders looked at each other and nodded.
Gyeong Cheon-guk said,
“Nona, please open the door for us.”
“Oke.”
When Ha Baek-ryeong placed her hand on the stone door, the red letters were engraved on the door and opened.
Grrs!
The door opened once again revealing the cave, but the trembling stopped.
“Vibrating it stop.”
“Hah?”
A musty smell, as if something was burning inside.
Ha Baek-ryeong, who was behind the Elders, covered her mouth.
‘Azimat ..’
The talismans covering the cave walls were charred and ashes were flying.
The view is terrible.
Swish!
As Gyeong Cheon-guk waves his hand with energy, his ashes are removed and a spot in front appears.
They saw something in the middle.
A black-looking man, supposedly Mak Wei-gang, was holding something, and in front of him, was a naked beautiful woman with her long hair down.
The woman was on a pedestal, and looked unconscious.
“What is..”.
“Come get out Elder Mak now ..”
When Elder Seong tried to ask what happened, Ha Baek-ryeong asked them.
The elder went to the place that the woman pointed out and if her words were true, then there would be a golden-haired nine-tailed fox, not a naked woman.
“Older Mak?”
Elder Hyang called out to him. Seeing how he stood still, it seemed like he was unharmed despite being strange.
There was no reaction. Confused, Elder Hyang approached and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Older Mak, are you ..”
That was.
Puk!
“Kuak!”
Something protruded from Elder Hyang's back.
“Hyang Elder!”
The one coming out from behind was none other than Mak Wei-gang's hand, who was now holding onto a heart.
“Ihhh…. Mak... Mak Wei..
Elder Hyang who was attacked, shouted until he was limp.
As the hot blood of the dead elder flowed on the floor, an astonishing phenomenon occurred.
Woong!
On the floor with the shape of eight trigrams, a red light flashed and then immediately died.
Shhh!
It doesn't end there. The drawn heart of Mak Wei-gang was presented to the naked woman very gently.
“A-what-what-what's this!”
The woman opened her eyes.
The bright golden eyes of the woman were delighted.
At that moment, his hair turned golden.
Gyeong Cheon-guk muttered,
“What! The woman is a golden-haired nine-tailed fox!”
Woong!
He immediately summoned an invisible sword and tried to attack the woman immediately, but something blocked him.
Daddy's!
Big golden tail.
‘It can block sword?’
This creature called ‘yokai terrific’ has skills beyond what one can imagine.
As he was shocked, something even more unreasonable happened.
Grrs!
The stone door behind closed.
Elder Seong tried to move to the place, but another golden tail flew in and hit him.
“Euk!”
Thump!
He flew into the cave wall and blood spurted out of his mouth.
In a voice full of fear, Ha Baek-ryeong shouted,
“Sa-save my husband as promised.”
Hearing his words, the golden-haired lady, no, the golden-haired nine-tailed fox, smiled.
“What was that?”
Hearing that, Gyeong Cheon-guk realizes something is wrong. He thought that he was telling the truth to them, but it seemed like there was an agreement between them.
“Nonassss!”
She screamed as she looked at him, but he turned it towards them.
Thump!
The stone door was completely closed, and roaring sounds began to be heard.
He muttered to himself in a venomous voice.
“I did nothing wrong. He has to stay alive. If it means saving her, I will do anything.”
Elder Gyeong's guess was correct. She had made a deal with the fox in exchange for her husband and her own well-being.
I have been locked up for a long time and need fresh blood. Pay the price and I will forgive this person and your life as well.
Originally, he had aimed to control this woman with that charming energy.
However, it didn't work out because of the woman's bloodline, so she made a deal.
“This is the only way to save her.”
He comforted himself until he heard a voice.
“What do you do?”
He could not even hear the approaching person because of his roar. He looked back in surprise.
“WHO?”
A man with sharp eyes and a fair face in a black suit. It was Chun Yeowun.
When he came to ask for help, he did not enter the God's residence, so he was unaware of its existence.
Chun Yeowun asked again.
“Why did you close the stone door?”
Confused, he spoke without even realizing it.
“The Elders told me to close it because it was dangerous.”
He didn't need to make excuses because he was someone he didn't know, but he felt he had to say something.
In a cold voice, Chun Yeowun asked,
“By the way, what's the cry about keeping your husband alive as promised?”
‘!?’
Ha Baek-ryeong could not hide her shock. He did not understand how this man heard that.
“B-How..”.
Chun Yeowun looked at the door and said,
“Open.”
It was an order that made the woman glare at him.
Judging from his voice, it was clear that the Elders were not dead and were fighting the fox.
They must die for the deal to be reached.
“... I can't.”
“What?”
Chun Yeowun's eyebrows shot up.
He felt intimidated by her, but she insisted.
“If I open the door, my husband will die.”
He won't open it.
Chun Yeowun asked in a low voice.
“This is the last. Open.”
‘This!’
As Eun Jarim's successor, she has always been treated as a supreme power.
That was why he was upset by the way Chun Yeowun spoke.
He yelled.
“You! Do you know who I am! I'm the only one..”
Grab it!
At that moment, Chun Yeowun grabbed his mouth.
“Ump!”
His grip was so tight that it made him think that his teeth and jaw would be dislodged. As he was perplexed, Chun Yeowun spoke in a cold voice.
“Why should I know who you are? I'm clearly warning you. Open.”
‘S-who is he?’
It was then that he realized that this person was from the outside, and he did not care about her.
Afraid, he tried to say,
“If you... hurt me.. I won't open the door.”.
Only people from the God bloodline could open it. Using that as an excuse, he tried to make sure he wouldn't hurt her.
However, Chun Yeowun said,
“Women. Do you think I asked you to open the door because I can't?”
‘What?’
Ha Baek-ryeong did not understand what he was saying.
Cut it!
Chun Yeowun waved her hand towards the stone gate with a sword. A black line appeared on the door and it cracked.
‘B-How can that happen?’
Hearing that, Chun Yeowun spoke in a cold voice.
“Ark Young asked me to forgive you just this once.”
‘!?’
Both of his eyes were shaking. A huge energy pressed down on his chest.
“But you let go of the opportunity so easily.”
Shhh!
Confused, he tried to wave his hand and pleaded.
“J-only bit ...”
The crack!
Chun Yeowun grabbed her lower jaw and pulled it from her mouth.
His jaw was torn and the screams of his pain sounded strange.
“Kuaaaak!”
“Diam.”
Cut it!
Chun Yeowun unsheathed a sword towards the woman this time. As he staggered a little, his head had already fallen to the floor.
