Trap (3)

 

Wei Jihak, who had led Mujin to the front of the ice cap, asked.

"Would you like to eat it right here? Or will you take it with you?"

"I'll take it somewhere else."

"I'm sure it's too unsafe to eat here. The chill is too strong, and it must be uncomfortable mentally."

Wei Jihak shook his head at Mu Jin's answer and added some advice.

"But you'd better take it as soon as possible. Snow ginseng is an elixir that grows in places where the cold is strong, so if you take it out to another place, it will quickly dissipate its medicinal effects."

After a brief explanation, Wei Zhihak put the snow ginseng into a small box made of Wen iron next to the ice jade and handed it to Mu Jin.

"This is the box we used to bring the snow ginseng to our Wulin Meng. It's mixed with ice jade powder and will keep you cool to some extent. However, the effect is weak compared to putting it next to the ice jade, so it won't be able to last for a long time. In fact, when you brought this to Wulin Meng, you used the help of the Beihai Ice Palace Mu Warrior to constantly inject cold energy, but you haven't mastered the ice ball, have you?"

"I think we should go back to Shaolin Hall as soon as possible."

"Just in case, I'll have the warriors of the Wulin League as escorts, so go back to the Shaolin Hall immediately..."

"Thank you for your consideration· Amitabha Buddha·"

Mu Jin paid his respects to Wei Jihak as the class leader, and took the box that Wei Jihak handed him.

And right after exiting the warehouse·

"Yes, let's go home..."

Leaving behind Wei Zhihak's greeting, he unfolded the Qingxin Technique and quickly exited the Wulin Meng. Several warriors from the Wulin League accompanied him to escort him.

The winning prize, the ice cap ginseng, was an elixir that would make your eyes spin, so someone might overdo it.

Immediately after arriving at the entrance of the Wulin League, he was confronted by the Shaolin disciples who were waiting for Mu Jin.

Mu Jin quickly explained the situation to them, and immediately moved with them towards the Shaolin Hall.

"We'll be guarding the hall and guarding the hall, so Mu Jin should hurry up and eat it."

"Thank you· The Outer Monk·"

Before Mu Jin could pay his respects, Ambassador Xuan instructed the Shaolin disciples on their own defenses, so that they could be prepared just in case.

Mujin, who watched the situation for a while, went straight to his room.

When Mu Jin entered the room, he opened the box and saw that as the Lord Wulin Meng had said, a huge amount of energy was flowing from the ice cap.

As the chill around him weakened, he lost his balance in an unfamiliar environment and the medicinal effect was flying.

The energy that was flying away was so great that any Wulin person would be able to swallow the snow cap in their mouth without delay.

And Mu Jin wasted no time in raising the bet in both hands.

Whoops!

I just crushed the ice cap as it was.

Aaaaaa

There was no sound, but Mujin felt like he heard it.

When the ice cap containing an infinitely condensed chill was crushed, a visibly concentrated energy began to erupt with tremendous force.

"Phew..."

Mujin took a deep breath, and the ball of gold on his hand widened and encircled Mujin's entire body.

If he stayed there, he would get frostbite from the chill of the ice caps.

Mu Jin protected himself with a gold ball and played with his hands again, crushing the ice cap from the tip of the end. It's like grinding with a compressor.

The cedar had a shape similar to that of ginseng, but when its shape was broken by Mujin's grip, it began to turn into qi instead of powder.

The immense chill radiated out into every corner of the room where Mujin stood, and the interior of the room began to be frosted and icicles formed like a warehouse of ice.

Whether or not he did, Mujin was only engaged in dismantling the ice caps.

And when there was only enough snow cap left...

“!!!”

The moment he felt a strange strangeness in his fingers, Mu Jin stopped crushing the snow ginseng and quickly grabbed the strange substance.

"I got it..."

Much smaller than a pea, the black creature, about the size of a coarse grain of salt, tried to escape into the remaining ice caps and was captured by Mujin.

This was the trap prepared by the dark membrane forces in the Snow Swallow.

No, Mujin thought that the ice cap itself was nothing more than a bait to use this guy in the first place.

Yin-Yang High School ·

It is a form of solitude that absorbs the aura of the host and covers its exterior with its aura like a chameleon.

In other words, if this guy is in the elixir... It meant that even if I ate this guy, I wouldn't feel any strangeness.

Likewise, it is absorbed into the body through the elixir and absorbs some of the bets of the new host, the same color, eliminating the dissimilarity, and then coiling itself in the upper chamber quite naturally.

And as much as it coiled itself in the upper chamber where the brain was located, it was able to "brainwash" its host at the behest of the shaman.

Even if it was already inside, it could not be caught because it had the same aura as the host.

"In the original, Nangong Jinchen ate this guy and became a bastard..."

Originally, Namgoong Jinchen was also an arrogant and unlucky guy, but he was just a guy who lived on his own good taste. He wasn't a bastard who bullied anyone who stood still for no reason.

Anyway, now that I've found this guy, I can say that I've stopped the plan that the Black Curtain forces had arranged for the Dragon Seal Society.

"In the original, I said that this guy only appears once and that it's filthy hard to make..."

It's filthy hard to make, but it's even harder to use.

As it had the ability to absorb the host's energy and conceal itself, it had to be created in reverse and put into an elixir at the same time.

In addition, it continued to absorb energy little by little in order to survive, so it was necessary to constantly feed it an elixir to keep it alive.

"Hmm· I'll be able to use it as evidence later, so I'll have to keep it."

Mu Jin put the small worm in his hand into the box he had received from Wu Lin Mengju and sealed the box with several layers.

It's a conclusion I've come to after years of thinking about it while preparing for the Dragon Seal Branch, but it would be foolish to use this guy as evidence right now.

"Damn martial arts..."

In a world where there are no CCTVs and no cameras, you have to go out and say, "This guy has jumped out of the ice cap!" and the other side will say, "This is a conspiracy!"

It was a strange thing that he didn't even eat the ice ceremon, one of the elixirs of the era, and crushed everything to find such a guy.

Doesn't it look like he did it when he found out that there was this guy in the Ice Cubes?

If so, how did you naturally know? It will lead to who did this, but Mujin doesn't know who did this.

I don't even know when I put it in. I just knew that it contained gin-yango...

Of course, instead of here, I could have crushed the snow cap in front of Wei Jihak and shown him this guy...

"That way, the result will be the same."

In the end, it didn't make sense because I didn't know who did it. It's just a situation where they suspect each other.

The already conflicting political factions could have been divided, and if that happened, it would be easier for the dark side to flourish.

Therefore, Mu Jin decided to sneak out of this guy and then leave Shaolin to hide his identity and destroy the plans that the Black Curtain forces were preparing.

In the meantime, it would be even better if we could get evidence related to this Yin-Yang-go.

"Hmmm· I think you still have some energy, though?"

It's not even half a year away, and it's still exuding energy, and it's just a moment to look at the edge of the disappearing ice caps.

Mu Jin hurriedly shoved the remnants of the snow cap into his mouth.

HWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ignoring the chill of the snow cap that came from his mouth, Mu Jin swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, while practicing the Mahayana Mind, he began to absorb the energy of the Eternal Snow Ginseng that had passed into his body.

"Maybe it's because Yin Yang has already absorbed the energy, so it's less than I thought, right?"

Even though he was still in a state of steam, he had less energy than he expected, so he was able to absorb it quickly.

Therefore, Mujin immediately absorbed the energy of the ice cap that entered inside. I took a deep breath and began to suck in the outside energy.

The ice caps were crushed, and the chill spurted throughout the room.

Some of them had already mixed with the atmospheric qi and blown out through a small crevice, but there was still a great chill inside the room.

It was difficult to get the effect of absorbing the elixir, but it was possible to get the effect of taking the lucky food in the place where the natural keeper was condensed.

"Phew..."

Mu Jin, who had finished his meteoric eating for about an hour, opened his eyes with a deep breath.

The inside of the room, which had begun to be covered with frost and icicles, was filled with a dry floor and dampness. Before I knew it, the chill had vanished.

Some of the chill that had stayed in the room between the two hours had been blown out of the room due to Mujin's power outage.

"Fifteen years of effort?"

It was a ridiculously small income for taking the snow cap, but Mujin thought it was better than nothing, and he stood up.

* * *

"Huh· I didn't expect the energy of the cedar to be so strong..."

The Shaolin disciples who were standing around the hall where Mu Jin had entered, muttered in surprise voices.

A huge chill was constantly flowing out of the room where Mujin entered.

"If this is the energy that emanates from the outside, how much energy has Mu Jin absorbed?"

There was a slight misunderstanding here.

Everyone thought that Mu Jin had taken the elixir and was absorbing it, so they thought that the enormous chill that was emitting was just the dregs that Mu Jin had failed to absorb.

"The cold is too strong, so I'm worried that the balance of the bet will be lost."

"Ahem· Mujin should be able to hold on. Maybe he's deliberately breathing a chill out of it to keep his balance."

To a Shaolin disciple's concern, Ambassador Xuan replied in a calm tone.

During this time, the Shaolin disciples were transforming into strange faces mixed with anticipation and worry.

The good news was that, unlike the first massive spurt, the chill was getting weaker as time went on.

Furthermore, immediately after the chill that emanated completely disappeared.

Kiiik·

The hinges, soaked in cold and dampness, made an unpleasant friction sound, revealing Mujin.

"Is your body alright?"

"Yes· Monk of the Outer Temple·"

Mu Jin's answer made the Shaolin disciples breathe a sigh of relief, and Mu Jin tilted his head at the scene.

It wasn't like he was doing a secret dance, but he didn't understand why he was worried about his body.

And there was a man from far away in the Shaolin Hall who was watching with a focus on his eyes.

"It looks like you've succeeded in absorbing it. Uh-huh...'

With a satisfied face, he turned in the direction of Wulin Meng's position.

That night·

As usual, the room was on a mattress on the floor so that he could sleep in the same room.

But for some reason, Mu Yul asked, holding a mattress and looking at Mu Jin, who seemed to be lost in thought.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

At the question, Mujin made a decision as if there was no point in thinking about it, and then spoke to the trio.

"You all know that tomorrow you have to go back to Shaolin, right?"

"Of course..."

"That's why you should go to bed early. I'm going to have to pack my things tomorrow morning and head right away."

Mu Jin grinned and asked at Mu Gong's answer.

"You don't want to go back in a little while, do you?"

"A little longer? How?"

"Hmmm· If you ask Hyunhyun Taesa, he might give you a day or so."

Mu Jin shook his head at Mu Qing and Mu Gong, who were answering like a model student.

"There's no point in doing that. Think about it, guys· If we go back to Shaolin now, when do you think we'll be able to get out again?"

Mujin decided to recruit an accomplice to join him in the escape.
