Volcanic Spirit

Seven, a bottle of liquor changed the world.

A trilogy. A trilogy.

Every time I step on the snow and walk, I hear a pleasant sound.

Yi Hwon was in a whirl among the snowflakes that were fluttering around in the wind.

"Good."

The wood turned white, but it wasn't cold at all.

He wore a crown with cloth on his head, and even a pear with cotton and radish. In addition to that, it was warm as if it were in the room.

They all prepared Samachung as a New Year's gift.

That's how the deal with Sima Chung ended.

Sometimes he was paid extra for fixing his posture or solving his questions.

That alone made my life satisfactory.

Lee Hwon laughed as he met the snow falling like a petal.

"That's really nice."

Compared to before the return, it was like a change in the world.

He was also afraid of it, called a hobby or a wild night festival, but there was not much he could do. Always looked at the enemy's approach to attack or spray. Even the man who called him a colleague remained at a moderate distance, suspecting him. Even when I was drinking and singing pleasantly, I didn't let my guard down in a corner of my mind.

It was a tiring life.

It was worse before I became a master.

Before getting a perforated he was a slave, so he struggled to live every day, and after getting it, it was common to avoid people. The process would have been enough for the plumbers to talk about for years.

What I got at that time was the way of life, the way I felt, and the way I spoke.

There's nothing I can't do to live.

The best of them is.

"Well, it was time to avenge the old man."

Lee Hwon kicked his tongue, reminiscing about the old days.

The nameless old man asked to kill three men when he handed a perforated helix. The time spent killing one or three people is five years. In fact, it has been only a few years since I lived my life in a way that is not long and has been called a drunkard.

But it can't be this good after returning to Korea.

I ate anywhere, slept anywhere, and did what I wanted to do anywhere. Nevertheless, life was not in danger or pursued.

When the superintendents started to argue, they thought it was more funny than careful. Above all, the walls of volcanoes are stable enough to endure small annoyances.

Yeah, relaxation from stability.

It was a luxury that Lee Hwon was not allowed before his return.

So just walking along the snowy road was full of smiles.

"I'll have to be careful."

Yi Hwon sighed, looking at the thick, distant peak.

That is Yeonhwabong Peak, the main peak of the volcano. It was the place where volcanic waves, called the main mountain, were located. So, if you do something wrong, you might meet a student of volcanic waves.

One thing, Lee Hwon only took care of himself and did not turn away.

There were dozens of paths to Yeonhwabong Peak. So there was nothing wrong with it unless it was approached more than necessary. Also, even if they faced each other, they would have been solved if they said they were lost. In any case, Lee Hwon is still a low-ranking official in charge of political affairs under Cho Do-gak.

"There should be a fork in the road at this point."

Lee Hwon took out the paper.

It was a topographic map of the volcano obtained from Sima Chung.

Of course, there was no information about the main mountain or the volcanic peak. Just a few paths were drawn, and the positions of abandoned conduits were drawn.

"There it is."

Lee Hwon smiled and turned away at the fork.

He went out of his way for training.

The blood vessels have settled perfectly in the body, and even the presence or absence of existence has faded. It was also a permission to start training the perforated helix soon.

Lee Hwon's pace quickened.

The place he is looking for is where Yeonggi of Yeongsan is united. Therefore, before returning to Korea, it was also a job to travel around Myeongsan Mountain and find a place to train. He hid in Mudangsan Mountain and fell off a cliff. He was hit by a plaques while trying to climb Soongsan.

But you don't have to do that on a volcano.

Isn't it the famous mountain of a Taoist family called Seorak among the Jungwon Oak? Even before the volcanic eruption, thousands of people burrowed and ducted the volcano. Each of them took up a place that they thought was good. In the past, there were about a thousand such places.

Hana Lee Hwon did not worry about this either.

Many of the caves and conduits were all lost in fame, and only the Sadae-dongcheon Stream remained. The names of the trainees were engraved on Ganghosa Temple. Of course, such a great place would be full of spirit.

I've already chosen a place to go.

Among the four streams, Nogun-dong was located below Nakanbong Peak, a ban on volcanic waves. Most of all, it is located in such a rough place that it is not easy to approach even if it is a peak master.

'If you go there, you'll fall and die.'

Taegeuk-dong was located near Yeonhwabong Peak, the main mountain of the volcanic wave.

'If you get caught, your life can be twisted.'

The remaining places are Wangja-dong and Seohyeon-dong.

Among them, Seohyeon-dong was closest to Chodo-gak. It was such an abandoned place that most people did not know that there was a four-way stream in the city so close.

"I think we're almost there."

After a while, the accumulated snow was pushed away with feet, revealing a darkened rock. The bushes, unlike elsewhere, were rare for tall, luxuriant trees. In addition, the soil smelled stale enough to be called compost.

Lee Hwon raised the corners of his mouth.

This is the scene that I encountered whenever I went to Yeongsan for training before returning to Korea. Somewhere in the air, the area was devastated.

Somewhere was Seohyun-dong.

hastened one's steps

After a while, Yi Hwon identified three letters, Seohyeon-dong, deeply engraved between the vines and moss. Unlike the title of "Sadae-dongcheon," Seohyeon-dong was not wide. When five or six people entered, it was narrow enough to fill, and the ceiling was unable to stretch its waist due to unevenly carved stones.

"Hoot! I'm doing this again, .".".".".".".""

I'm not nervous.

He sat with a moderate hip. Due to the nature of self-acting, growing blood vessels, no special preparation was required. Just close your eyes half-closed and recite the chant of a perforated helix.

There is no such easy training method in all ages.

'Of course I've never done anything more than arm castle.

While Lee Hwon was thinking about it, the blood vessels swirled fast enough to heat up his body. Even though it fell short of the tip of the perforation, the atmosphere around it seemed to fluctuate as soon as the blood vessels were activated. This was the process of absorbing the natural energy.

솨아아아아아

The wind fluttered little by little in the midst of the wind. Lee Hwon's face turned red. In addition, all the exposed areas turned red as if they were burned.

솨아아아아아

After a while, I found myself in reverse order.

As soon as Lee Hwon opened his eyes, the redness of his eyes had been colored once before and then disappeared.

Nothing has changed on the surface.

Only one party was certain.

'Now it's Il Sung.'

Lee Hwon was fed up with the idea that he repeated the situation eight times when he reached Palseong Fortress before returning to Korea. As achievements went up, they had to undergo a process that was equivalent to the transformation of the body as well as the transformation of the body.

"It would have been less painful if I had done it here at the time."

Lee Hwon drooped when he saw the amount of snow piled up.

Compared to before entering the military, it is only about a two-way street. It seemed to be more than three times faster than the time before returning to Japan.

Lee Hwon kicked his tongue out of regret.

"Well, leaving such a great place like this ruined the volcanic waves."

He grabbed a rock rolling on the floor. The moment I gave it strength, the blood heated up, and the density of the bones and muscles doubled.

"Uh."

One stone was not crushed.

It was the same as before the return.

Instead, the moment I grabbed a tree that was a little thinner than my wrist, I heard a burst.

Quasik!

The snow crushed the wet branches.

From now on, instead of avoiding a wooden sword, we should catch it and break it altogether.

"Not bad."

Lee Hwon left Seohyun-dong without hesitation.

Now, you can enjoy life without being noticed until you reach the state of this castle, with the grace of grace.

Then came the cry of the beast through the snow.

"Dogsori?"

He who drags a dog around a volcano can't be an ordinary person. Moreover, the dog began to bark incessantly, as if it had noticed a foreign invasion. The sound of dogs gradually drew closer. The speed is as fast as light.

'What is it? That!'

Yi Hwon stepped on the stone to clear the traces.

The moment I get caught, I get annoyed.
