***

It keeps bothering me. Yuwol’s expression hardened when he talked about that woman.

Normally he would have just acted calmly, but his expression looked quite serious.

The fact that he, who did not change his expression even when attacked by the Iron Bloods or the Demonic Cult, became frozen like that.

“…Maybe he knows something about that woman?”

It was enough to lead Sayun’s thoughts in this direction.

“Sayun. Keep your head straight.”

“Oh. Sorry.”

Sayun, who came to the Moonwoljeong branch to spar with Chae-ryeon, smiled bitterly. Chae-ryeon sighed at her, spun Sura-ra and pushed it into the pot.

“Why are you thinking like that, why can’t you concentrate?”

“Ugh. That’s…”

As Chae-ryeon was a precious friend, there was nothing I couldn’t say. Therefore, she continued her explanation calmly, and Chae-ryeon looked at Sayun with curiosity and asked.

“It’s definitely interesting. That’s what happens when you use the Heart Sutra while holding two mirrors…”

“Do you know anything about other mirror objects?”

“I know a few things, but the process of getting them will be quite complicated. Didn’t your brother-in-law tell you that you got it because you were lucky in the first place?”

“That’s right.”

“Other things are similar. Most of them involve catching rare monsters or those that only remain as records. And there are things that I will never give away because they already have owners.”

Sayun was impressed by Chae-ryeon’s explanation. Although she is the same age as herself, Chae-ryeon’s knowledge is truly amazing. How much did you study? Chae-ryeon smiled and shook her head at Sayun’s sparkling gaze.

“It’s not that great.”

Chae-ryeon was able to study a lot from a young age as she was the second daughter of Moon Wol-jeong, a member of the prestigious political faction, and a super-indigent named Do-je.

But isn’t Sayun different?

From Chae-ryeon’s perspective, Sayun was just more interesting.

If you look at the actual period of time he has been into martial arts, he is much shorter than himself, but he has already surpassed himself by a little.

“Anyway, even if you are curious about who that woman is… isn’t there a need to investigate?”

“But…”

Strangely, the words she spoke were not going away, like a thorn stuck strongly in her heart.

That’s why we have no choice but to continue to pay attention.

Chae-ryeon, who was looking at Sayun’s expression, said indifferently as she pushed Surado into the dog house.

“What do you ask your brother-in-law?”

“Hmm. I don’t think so.”

Yuwol had that kind of reaction just by hearing the story.

So, no matter how close you were to Yuwol, it would have been rude to ask such a question.

Maybe it could make him suffer.

Sayoon, who wanted to decline that much, said clearly, and Chaeryeon shrugged her shoulders.

“Hmm… Then it would be better to hurry and get a mirror.”

“Phew. That’s how it should be. You said you were going to save me, but it’s my job and I can’t just ignore it.”

“Or should I take a look at it?”

“Huh?”

“There is someone I know who has a mirror. He’s a close friend of mine… I’ll ask him a question. I don’t think there will be any problem if you just rent it.”

“Really?”

“Well… but they won’t lend it to you for free. He is the head of a small sect called Mihyangwon. Because he is a person who is certain of making and breaking things. But since he is a person who likes to meet the heroes of the world…”

“Ugh… I’m not a hero.”

“Hehe. Wouldn’t a person who has dealt with evil and evil be said to have the spirit of a hero? And while she likes people who are heroes now, she also likes seeing people who will become heroes in the future. Actually, when we went to Murim later, I was planning to go to her first.”

Sayoon thought deeply about Chae-ryeon’s words and nodded slightly.

If that’s the case, it’ll be okay.

“I still had to send and receive a letter from that sister. I’ll ask you if you can send it to me then. ruler. Then the conversation is over.”

Chae-ryeon, who spun around and grabbed the Sura sword, aimed it at Sayun.

“Please concentrate properly from now on.”

After sparring with Chae-ryeon, I ran into Hong-ryeon and Geomseong on my way back to Hongseongmun.

After marrying Yoo-wol, Sayun smiled brightly at the two of them, who often went down from Hongseongmun Gate to the guest house in the evening.

“Are you leaving now?”

“Hehe. okay. What about you?”

“Ah. I came here after sparring with Chae-ryeon.”

“Okay. That’s also good interaction, so try sparring a lot.”

Geomseong stroked Sayun’s head as if he was amazed. Sayoon smiled brightly at her and looked at Hongryeon. She crossed her arms and seemed to be thinking about something before opening her mouth.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes? ah. I’m fine.”

“Okay… then I’m glad. And don’t worry too much.”

I think he noticed. That he keeps thinking about that woman. That’s probably why Hongryeon says this.

From the looks of it, the Sword Saint seemed to have noticed to some extent, but didn’t say anything on purpose.

I can’t handle it either.

Sayoon took a short breath and nodded.

“Yes. thank you. Master. Ambassador.”

“Hehehe. okay. Now go up. Because it looks like it’s time for dinner.”

“Yes! Well then, have a nice trip! Thank you for your hard work today!”

After saying hello to the two as they walked away, Sayun headed towards Hongseongmun Gate. A bright shout was heard coming from Hongseongmun, where the smoke from cooking rice was rising.

Sayun walked step by step with a happy expression toward Hongseongmun, which was peaceful as always.

I have dinner with my sisters-in-law, finish washing dishes, clean up together, and participate in night training.

It was an ordinary day like always.

Sayoon, who finished the day feeling the joy and comfort of everyone being together, lay down in bed. I’m quite tired, probably because I moved around a lot all day.

That’s why she closed her eyes.

“…this place.”

When I opened my eyes, the place was filled with thick fog.

Is it an imaginary world?

However, I did not use the Heart Sutra.

Sayun gently moved her hand to her waist.

Fortunately, her sword was hanging at her waist. That alone greatly reduced my mental burden, but it did not erase my doubts.

Why?

Clearly, when I used the Heart Sutra, I was not reflected.

It is only when the mind is present that the mind sutra is activated and leads to the world of images.

I had seen myself reflected in the heart sutra several times before, but this had never happened before.

‘Come to think of it…’

It appeared in a letter sent by Nam Chae-hyun.

It is said that we can connect through the world of images or dreams.

So can this be said to be it?

She.

Did you call me?

Around the time Sayun let out a sigh, a woman appeared from the fog.

It was a woman wearing a hat. Just like last time, he wore a ‘hyeopsa’ costume and had cotton yarn on his face.

“You…”

“…***…”

He was saying something, but I could only hear a buzzing sound and couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Sayun gestured to the hat and cotton thread, but she only paused for a moment and shook her head calmly.

and.

What is being lifted is a great sword.

Sayoon swallowed his saliva at the enormous fighting spirit radiating from her.

Divide between herbivorous and herbivorous.

A woman wearing a hat, who inherited the teachings of her predecessors and reinterpreted Sayun and Hongseong Shingong in her own way and combined other martial arts.

Although the woman with the hat was superior in terms of skill, Sayun was better in terms of her understanding and depth of Hongseong’s art.

That’s why the two were able to achieve a hundred times, and eventually clashed several times again.

The fog was rolling in again.

no. little bit more.

I want to know who you are.

“You!! Who are you!!”

As Sayun’s harsh cry rang out, the woman pushed her hand into her arms. And what I took out were two mirrors.

One was a heart mirror, and the other was a mirror with a spider pattern engraved on it.

What is that again?

The woman, who was looking at the puzzled Sayun in silence, slowly took off her hat.

“Uh…?”

What was revealed was gray hair.

And what was revealed were light purple eyes.

Sadness, anger, resentment.

And Sayoon, who was facing those gazes filled with jealousy and relief at the same time, hesitated without realizing it.

Just as the fog was about to completely cover her, a single tear flowed from the woman’s eye.

“Gasp!!”

Sayoon stood up quickly and looked around.

It was Hong Seong-moon’s lodgings. I looked at the sky and saw that the moon wasn’t moving that much.

At most, it’s about Korean food.

Obviously, quite a bit of time had passed since my confrontation with her.

“Sayun. What’s wrong?”

Is it because Sayoon woke up suddenly? Yuhee, who was sitting next to her, asked worriedly.

It’s not just her. The sisters in other seats were also looking at her with serious expressions.

“Did you even have a scary dream?”

At that time, when Ryu Hyun said something, Sayun thought. scary dream.

Is it just a dream?

“I don’t think so.”

Sayoon gently raised her hand and slowly exhaled.

okay. Probably not.

It might not be a dream.

Sayun swallowed her saliva and looked at the drawer.

As she gazed at the heart mirror and space mirror inside the drawer, she remembered the mirror the woman had shown her.

In the letter sent by Nam Gwanju, it was said that two mirrors could be used to connect to other times and spaces.

Doesn’t that mean that you can find yourself and connect with yourself in another time and space?

No… I’m sure it will.

Even more so considering what was in her hands.

As if he were thinking of her.

She must have been thinking of herself too.
