Chase (1)

 

After the first encounter with the bandits·

Mu Jin and the others hid Lingling in the corner of the wagon and among the piles of luggage.

"Lingling! It's a hidden game· You have to hide, okay?"

Luckily, Mu Yul had fooled Lingling so well that Lingling didn't cry even once, and she was stuck in the pile of luggage.

However, the green forest had already begun to move in earnest, and from the next day, every time I passed by the mountain road, bandits blocked the way.

"It's your command! From now on, if you want to pass through this place, you will have to go through a checkpoint first!"

Once or twice, I was lucky enough to get past Lingling undetected, but there were some crazy people who got into the wagon and sifted through the piles of luggage.

"Hit!!"

"Kill!"

Each time, Mu Jin and his group were forced to fight, and after another day, the mad bandits began to flee the mountain.

Wherever it wasn't the official road, it was a bare field, a field, or a mountain, blocking the way.

There were only a few of them that even searched the inside of the wagon, but every time they popped out, Mu Jin and his party had no choice but to fight.

And by the time another day had passed there,

"They're the ones!"

Now, instead of searching the wagons, there were those who were definitely chasing after Mujin's group.

It's as if you're trapped in a network created by the Green Forest Island.

"Phew..."

This time, after quickly clearing out the roughly twenty bandits, Mu Jin sighed lightly.

"It looks like we're fighting more and more..."

Wiping the blood from his face from the side, Mu Qing muttered.

I didn't even bother to look at it, but for some reason it was Mujin who seemed to overlap with the appearance of the blood monk I had seen in the novel.

'No, I don't. It's amazing that you fought so bloodily and didn't even look away."

When I think back to my childhood martial arts, it was a huge step forward.

"Come on... It's only new time (15~17 o'clock) today, but it looks like we've already fought five times."

"Is it a good thing that the level of bandits is low?"

"Not yet..."

"Not yet?"

"As far as I'm concerned, the bandits we're seeing now are the ones who were based around here in the first place... I think the one in the vicinity has spread out and is looking for us..."

"Oh . . . Does that mean bandits are coming from farther and farther away?"

"Yes... Besides, now that our location has been confirmed, the spread out will continue to flock here..."

Mujin's answer brought a variety of expressions to those around them who were listening to their conversation.

"Hah... I won't be able to leave my hole..."

Even so, Mu Gong, who had been using extra internal skills to heal the Bai Family Spirit every time he took a break, had a skeletal face.

"Why are there so many bad bandits?"

"Uki! Uki!!"

Mu Yu looked at Lingling and tilted his head in disbelief.

“··· You dressed up as a slave trader to avoid this situation. Countless waters..."

The Qingshui dojo, who had overcome Simma to some extent, muttered with an expression that he had finally realized something.

"And now I know what it means to improve my skills. If I had been much better, I wouldn't have bothered to hide my identity, and I would have cleared the way by slaying both the Green Forest and the Black Eye."

It was a clear water chop that followed with a pretty bloody story.

Finally, Bai Jiahuan, who had been watching the whole battle from the sidelines, spoke to Mu Jin with a criminal expression.

"I'm sorry. River small gorge·"

"What do you mean suddenly?"

"I couldn't think of a better plan because I wasn't good enough. And I'm sorry that you seem to be in danger because of us."

"The bandits chasing us has nothing to do with you..."

At Mu Jin's answer, Bai Jiahuan shook his head.

"In any case, it is still true that you have saved us. And if you were the only one escaping now, wouldn't you have been able to get out of here much faster by using light air?"

Bai Jiahuan felt helpless as he watched the battles that had been going on for two days.

There was nothing he could do as Mujin and his group beat up the bandits.

Instead of helping, whenever the bandit would lunge at him or the children in the wagon, someone from Mujin's group would rush in to protect him.

The fact that they were so slow to move was because of him and his children, especially his sister, the Bai family, which only made him feel guilty.

In consideration of the unwell Bai family, he was unable to increase the speed of the carriage beyond a certain level.

For this reason, Mu Jin opened his mouth to Bai Jiahuan, who had the face of a sinner.

"You don't have to think about it. Isn't it thanks to the schemes of Bai Confucius and Bai Xiao that we have come to Jiangxi Province with ease? If I hadn't dressed up as a slave trader, I'd be being chased by the Green Forests from Guangdong Province. If that were the case, it would have been hard for me to get here."

"But..."

"You don't have to worry. It took a bit of trouble to get here, but after a day or so, we will reach Ji'an County. And there are people in Ji'an County who can help us."

* * *

As time passed, the bandits' pursuit intensified, and Mujin and his companions could not rest even at night.

Eventually, they drove the wagon all night and were able to reach Ji'an County around noon the next day.

In the process, they fought six additional battles, and the number of bandits they had killed or killed was more than a hundred.

"Phew· I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

They had not slept well and had repeatedly squirmed, and when they arrived at Ji'an County with fatigue on their faces, they looked at Mu Jin.

"Where are you going now?"

At Mu Qing's question, Mu Jin looked around and moved to talk to a passerby nearby.

He had a destination, but he didn't know exactly where it was.

"Hiik..."

"I'm sorry for my sins!"

But even as Mujin approached, the faces of the passers-by turned white.

'Oh...'

Come to think of it, I didn't think I was in a position to say anything. He had been fighting and moving, and there was blood all over his clothes.

It seemed that he had a strange misunderstanding, but time was running out, so Mujin had no choice but to ask a frightened passerby where his destination was.

"Let's go..."

Mu Jin, who had figured out the location, called out as he returned to the carriage, and Mu Gong asked.

"Why? Do you have anything urgent?"

"No... If I stay on the side of the highway like this, I'm afraid I'll be taken away by the guards soon..."

"To the officers? Why?"

"Look at our faces..."

They turned their heads to Mujin's words and checked their condition once again, and finally burst out with exclamations, "Ahh

They hurriedly drove their wagons to avoid being taken to the government office.

The passerby who showed Mu Jin the way was frightened, but he gave them the way quite accurately, so they were able to reach their destination without too much difficulty.

[Musculoskeletal Clinic]

The place where Mujin wants to ask for help· It was a branch of a musculoskeletal clinic.

Ji'an County is quite the largest of the counties in central Jiangxi Province, and it was home to the Tianliu Upper Bunta and the Musculoskeletal Treatment Clinic.

"Who are you?"

When a group of people with a nasty appearance appeared, the unmanned person who was guarding the entrance of the musculoskeletal treatment clinic stammered and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mujin didn't explain to him, but instead of explaining it, he shoved the identity card he had prepared in advance.

"Please pass this on to the owner of this branch..."

The identity card that Mu Jin presented was the fake identity card that Liu Xuehua had prepared.

The man guarding the entrance took the plaque with a puzzled look on his face and handed it inside.

Soon after, a middle-aged man with a shaved head rushed out.

"This is Heseok, the head of the Shaolin Temple, the Shaolin Temple, who manages the branch of the Musculoskeletal Treatment Clinic. Who is Mr. Kanghyuk?"

"Fold up..."

Mujin answered the man's urgent question.

The unmanned man guarding the entrance looked surprised by his sincere attitude, but this was unavoidable.

The Golden Hell Leaf of the Heavenly Stream Clinic in charge of the Musculoskeletal Treatment Clinic There were instructions she gave to musculobic clinics across the continent.

If a man with a badge named 'Kang Hyuk' comes to visit, he will fulfill all your requests.

And if the man stops by, a detailed report about him will be posted as "top secret."

I don't know exactly what kind of person Kang Hyuk is, but there was no doubt that he was a very important person, just by looking at his instructions.

"It looks like you're all going through something, but let's go inside first."

After saying that, he led the group to an empty hall.

"If you need anything, feel free to let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help."

"Yes· If you need anything, I'll ask for help."

He stepped back, taking the lead, and only then began the children and women to get out of the carriage one by one.

And the women and children who entered the hall quickly fell asleep.

"Looks like everyone was tired..."

"I've been running all night chasing bandits... We were the ones who fought, but we must have been nervous all the time in the carriage."

"But... I wouldn't have slept in the carriage under such circumstances..."

Watching the children and women fall apart one by one, Mujin and his companions chatted for a while.

"So what are you going to do now?"

Instead of going to sleep like children right away, they began to discuss their future plans.

"Why don't you rest here and hold on? Aren't the bandits going to be able to get into the county?"

"It's going to be hard to get in, but the bandits will pile up around for as long as we've been here. In this way, there will be more masters in the Green Forest, and they will be able to sneak up here at night, right?"

When Mu Jin refuted Mu Qing's opinion, Bai Jiahuan, who was listening next to him, also shook his head as if he was right.

Then, this time, Mu Mu Jin from the side once again supported Mu Kyung's opinion.

"Instead, we can ask for support. You can ask for support from Shaolin, or you can ask for support from the Heavenly Stream."

"That's not a bad thing, but it's a problem because the time it takes for bandits to accumulate faster than the time for reinforcements to come from Shaolin or the Heavenly Stream. And if that happens, in the worst case, war could break out."

"War?"

"They don't know who we are... We're just here to catch you because we've hit a bunch of. But if it turns out that we are Shaolin disciples, then it will be between Shaolin and Green Forest."

“··· Shaolin disciples? What do you mean by that?"

Bai Jiahuan, who was quietly listening to their conversation next to him, asked with a puzzled expression.

Mujin replied that it wasn't a big deal.

"Oh, I'm sorry. We haven't talked about it yet. In fact, we are Shaolin disciples. My Dharma name is Mujin, and these guys are infinitely martial arts in turn. This isn't Shaolin, it's the Shaolin Disciple Qingshui Dojo..."

If he saved him this time and didn't see him again, he wouldn't need to reveal his identity, but since Baek Gahwan was going to continue to be with him in the future, he didn't need to keep hiding his identity.

However, when he was introduced to the identity of Mujin's group, Bai Jiahwan felt dizzy.

I was speculating that Mujin and his party might be the backbone of the political faction.

Just by looking at his usual way of speaking and his unforgiving attitude toward the wicked, he didn't feel like a sectarian.

But·

'Boo, you must have seen him eat meat and alcohol?'

Seeing that he enjoyed drinking and meat, he naturally expected that he would be a late-stage exponent of Sega.

"Oh, by the way, it's a secret that we're Shaolin disciples. It's problematic in many ways."

Mu Jin pretended to cover his mouth with his index finger, and Bai Jiahuan shook his head with a half-stunned expression.

It was a secret that wouldn't be found out if he didn't open his mouth. Who would expect them to be Shaolin disciples from their actions?

"Enough of the introduction, let's talk about what we're going to do again. First of all, I think it's a handshake to hold on here. The reasons are the things we talked about a while ago..."

Mujin, who had settled the situation appropriately, brought the issue back to the point.

After learning the shocking secret, Bai Jiahuan gathered his mind and asked:

"So your goal is to get out of here as quickly as possible rather than ask for outside help?"

"That's right..."

"Wouldn't it be simple?"
