Episode 160
Completion of the Four Gods (4)
“A fisherman is a fisherman.”
“….”
“No, even the expression ‘beggar’ is not enough. “It is truly amazing that a young man who has just passed his terms of service has already taken up the martial arts of the transcendent.”
Nodoin was purely amazed.
“I have met countless warriors before, but I have never seen anyone who specializes in martial arts like him. “You deserve to be taught under him.”
“Yes.”
Okcheong looked particularly cautious.
But I say what I have to say.
“If you just look back.”
“hmm?”
“I have been looking at Commander Yeon for the past few months. When I saw it like that…”
I wondered if it was even necessary to say this.
However, Okcheong was the type of person who could not hold back from being curious. He did not hesitate to take action if something was needed.
He had such a soft and gentle personality, but he also had such a strong personality.
“Actually, I never thought of myself as a genius.”
“Have you never thought of yourself as a genius? “What does that mean?”
“That…”
Embarrassment appeared on Okcheong’s face.
“I guess it felt like it was a martial arts skill built not from talent but from incredible experience.”
“experience?”
“It just feels like that. “Rather than feeling stronger through talent, I felt like I was regaining control of what I already knew.”
Seunghyeonjinin (乘賢眞人), an old shaman, burst into laughter.
“Hehe, that’s nonsense. “So, are you saying that Commander Yeon is the monster who broke the barrier of martial arts when he was younger?”
Okcheong scratched her head as if embarrassed.
“Of course not. That’s why I said it was a feeling.”
“Whatever it is, it is clear that he is truly an amazing talent. In addition, since he made a great contribution with his passion and steadfastness, the next generation of martial artists may revolve around Commander Yeon.”
“That would most likely be the case.”
Seung Hyun Jin-in smiled.
“Aren’t you greedy?”
“yes?”
“The Four Hundred Adults are called Geomseon (劍仙) and are evaluated as being closest to the best sword in the world. “As you are his disciple, don’t you want to be the best?”
Okcheong smiled gently.
“Are you kidding? “I just want to perfect my martial arts skills and have no desire to compete with anyone or receive attention.”
“haha.”
“Well, maybe that’s why it looks like this. Commander Yeon said that before. “Competition can also be a driving force for growth.”
“That is correct. However, it is not an absolute factor for development.”
“I know. Commander Yeon also acknowledged it.”
“Hehehe.”
Although he was smiling all the time, Seunghyeonjinin was secretly surprised by Okcheong’s reaction.
‘The priest has also changed a lot.’
In the past, Okcheong was like a seeker rather than a warrior. It was a truly remarkable experience as a disciple of a shaman.
The Shaman sect was called Taesanbukdu after Shaolin, but it was a sect of Taoists who strictly followed the Tao. The sword is a means of training, not a means of killing.
Okcheong learned martial arts for study, not to beat someone.
Okcheong is now hoping to complete his martial arts skills.
‘I deviated from the path of a seeker for a while, but this is also a good thing. I have no doubt that it will turn around and return to its original place.’
Seunghyunjin asked.
“So, when did you say the Mortal Army’s next expedition is scheduled?”
“I haven’t received it yet.”
“Well, you mean you have at least a few days?”
“I think it’s hard to be sure about that too. You’ve seen it before, right? As soon as we gather, we immediately go to war. “I may not be able to move forward so quickly this time.”
“Huh, really?”
Seunghyeonjinin stood up from his seat.
“They say there’s nothing good to do because it’s urgent, but since you don’t have much time, it would be better to start right away.”
“yes? What?”
“Well, I’m just doing it to watch the young priest’s martial arts skills.”
Okcheong’s eyes widened.
“Now, the long sentence from the executioner himself?”
“why? “Is there any reason not to?”
“Oh no! Great! “It’s an honor for me.”
“It’s bland.”
Seunghyeonjinin turned around.
“Follow me. “I will look at your changed martial arts skills and fill in as many areas as I can.”
* * *
The drinking party with my father ended earlier than expected.
Yeon Ho-jeong had no idea that his father would drink so quickly. Even though he ate that much, his posture was upright, but his drinking was almost like binge drinking.
The drinking that started in the morning ended in half a day.
“Whoa.”
Ugh.
When I exhaled, the alcoholic energy was automatically released.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
‘I can’t control it yet.’
Blue dragon flag.
Cheongryonggi, which activated its liver power to the extreme, achieved tremendous growth in an instant through coexistence with the three gods. Of course, it was the same for the other three energies.
It was so severe that it was difficult to even operate it properly. At least at this level, it was like that.
Is that why? I wanted to take Yeonhojeong this time, but I couldn’t because the cycle of the Blue Dragon’s arrival was scattered at every moment.
It felt like it had been a long time since I had been unable to freely control my energy. Of course, it’s something to be happy about.
‘You’ll get used to it soon.’
Uncontrollable forces inevitably cause problems.
It’s like a butcher doesn’t become a warrior just because he’s a new soldier. What is important is not only to handle that power properly, but also to have a base of response that can be used at the right time and in the right place.
‘anyway.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
‘With this, the true Sasinmu began.’
How long has it been?
I was with Sasinmu right before I returned, so it was about two years.
But why? It felt like a friend I hadn’t seen in a very long time. The joy was that great.
He felt the blue dragon flag once again.
‘Welcome, Blue Dragon.’
Blue dragon.
Cheongryong is the tree god of Gap-in, symbolizing spring and responsible for the liver among the five organs and six organs.
Jingi itself was aimed at recovery, detoxification, and non-sniping, and the art performed with the Cheongryonggi was a martial art that focused on evasion and protecting the body.
‘I’d like to go for a run.’
Starting with Hyeonmu, all of the White Tiger Suzaku skills were acquired through actual combat.
Blue Dragon was different. By the time he had practiced the Three Divine Qi, he was already able to summon the Blue Dragon Qi on his own.
‘It’ll be fine.’
Anyone who has learned martial arts at the level of Yeon Ho-jeong can immediately use the martial arts they know in their head in real combat. It goes without saying that it is a martial arts skill that has been practiced many times in the past.
“I’d like to get some rest today too.”
By now, Mo Yong-woo is probably meeting the Tang family’s female daughter, Amcheon Shinnyeo.
Other than that, there is nothing to worry about. Rumors about the rise of martial arts will spread all over the place, but today, a gatekeeper was set up at Pagungak to prohibit the entry of foreigners.
Let’s rest. It’s worth resting.
That was when Yeon Ho-jeong got up from his seat.
‘hmm?’
I felt someone walking.
It was a familiar feeling. Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
A moment later, he appeared from the first floor, yawning and silent.
“Are you awake now?”
Mo Fei’s eyes immediately turned into those of a wild cat.
“I felt indebted to you a long time ago.”
“hmm? “Aha, because of my father?”
Mukbi shouted with a tearful expression.
“I will never drink again in the presence of a practitioner…!!”
It was then.
“…uh?”
Mukbi blinked his eyes frantically.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“Why are you doing that?”
“what?”
“what?”
“….”
“What?”
“….”
“What? “Why did you become so dumb?”
Mukbi looked Yeonhojeong up and down with blank eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Are you looking at me like that because you think there’s something to see?”
“How are you doing that?”
“Speak in a way that people can understand.”
“Have you become stronger?!”
It’s a really intuitive word choice.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“okay.”
“oh my god…!”
It was a face that had lost all sleep.
It had to be that way. The change in Yeonhojeong seen by Mukbi was so great that it would be enough to call it a transformation.
Mukbi swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
‘tremendous!’
Yeonhojeong stands with a drowsy face.
Even his posture changed a little. Until this morning, it had been standing with a solid and tight posture, but now it was showing a somewhat loose and flexible appearance.
The looseness that comes from that flexibility can also be expressed in other words as natural.
It was not a question of enlightenment. The energy in Yeon Ho-jeong’s body automatically creates such a posture.
The posture in which Jingi can be operated most efficiently.
“What method did you use?…”
“Where is the method? “My hard training has finally paid off.”
“….”
“You said it well. Don’t just get involved with A-yeon and drink, use that time to protest. “I hope you come up to where I am standing as soon as possible.”
Mukbi looked at Yeonhojeong with trembling eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“You can do it too. “As long as you don’t get impatient.”
“…Is that really true?”
Of course.
“I trust you. “There’s no way you couldn’t do what I did.”
I wasn’t saying this to instill confidence. I meant it.
In the first place, the level of talent is different. Moreover, unlike in the past, aren’t there many people who can help her now?
You will be able to climb higher and faster.
“Tsk.”
Mukbi flopped down on the table.
“Something is leaking steam.”
“huh?”
Mukbi chuckled.
“I wanted to beat the expert at least one thing. “I wanted to win without martial arts if possible.”
“What are you going to do after a chaff like me wins?”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course it’s a lie. “No matter what, you have a long way to go to surpass me, you b*stard.”
“joy.”
“Now you know how to snort and you’re really all grown up.”
“I’m telling you, I’m older than you. And what does age have to do with snoring?”
“I just tried it.”
In the end, a cheerful smile appeared on Mukbi’s face.
But even for a moment.
“uh? But.”
“why?”
“No one else knows yet, right?”
“what?”
“That’s how the practitioner became stronger.”
“Ah, this is….”
“Is this the former head of the Moyong family? “When I was fighting with that person, all kinds of people came running at me.”
“…?!”
“Well, it probably wasn’t like that. There’s no way you’d do something stupid like that again after getting screwed once…”
“…”
“…Do you know everyone else?”
“That…”
Yeon Ho-jeong tried to smile.
“Wouldn’t it be different from before? Hey, even though I’m like this, I’ve overcome the barrier to no species. Do you know the borderless wall? You have to overcome that wall to be called a transcendent expert. “It’s still the beginning, but it’s at a high level…”
“Do you know?”
“….”
“Ah yes. “It must have already spread throughout the province.”
“haha.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked Muk-bi’s head.
“It’s okay, my friend. The situation is completely different from then. At that time, I would have rushed in with my overflowing desire to win, thinking it was worth a look, but now? Not now. “There aren’t many people who would share a hand with me…”
That was then.
“Commander Yeon!”
The true spirit of Taegeuk was evident in the loud voice.
“Is Commander Yeon inside? They say that Bindo is the Seunghyeon of a shaman. “If it’s okay, let me see your face!”
Mukbi said shakily.
“It always starts as a shaman, right?”
“….”
“what are you doing? Answer quickly. An adult is calling.”
That’s awesome.
