◈Episode 716.
A treasure trove of enlightenment (6)
Zhuge Lianghu asked.
“You mean you showed up alone?”
“According to the information, yes.”
Only one martial artist appeared.
But that martial artist is the powerhouse of Seongcheon. Whether it was the Immortal Emperor or the Three Princes, Gosu, who was named in the Seongcheon, was a monster of the outside world who could handle the power of the Daemunpa level with a single person.
So to speak, it is a moving bomb. Even King Bi had no obvious affiliation. He is a stickler who represents neither a political faction nor a sad faction, but a moderate path.
The emergence of an absolute master whose direction is unknown. It was no wonder that the audience was nervous.
“This is not normal. “In the midst of the turbulent times, even the King of Rain, who had not been seen before, appeared.”
Bokho Shinseung looked at Seunghyunjin for some reason. I had no choice but to pay attention since it was said that the place where King Bi appeared was near the shaman faction.
Unexpectedly, Seunghyunjin’s face was calm.
“I heard that King Bi is not a person who risks his life for negotiations, but he is not a robber either.”
“That’s true, but…”
“An expert who cannot be defeated has appeared, but there is no need to worry. However, if there is an intention that has revealed itself at this point, it would be urgent to figure out that intention.”
It was a voice that did not convey nervousness.
Not long ago, the Jongnam faction fought a war. Wouldn’t it be unsettling to hear that King Bi had appeared in this situation?
Nevertheless, Seunghyeonjinin was skillfully controlling himself. It was because he knew that there was no point in making a fuss right now.
“you’re right.”
Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.
“Even if King Bi harbors evil intentions, the Shaman faction is different from the Jongnam faction. “In particular, isn’t there a Takmu practitioner in shamanism?”
Jongnampa was also a sect that started out as a Taoist school, but its inclination changed to a secular school in the contemporary era. It could be seen from the fact that most of those who came from the Mumun (武門) rather than the Jongnamdomun (終南道門) did not receive a provincial name.
In addition, Jongnam had unique customs that were different from other Old Daemun sects. Most of Jongnam’s predecessors spread out throughout the world and entered separate practices or entered into secular businesses.
Before the original empire lost power, there were many experts from Jongnam in the military. Most of the former warlords who retired from active duty also went to the imperial palace and worked as advisors to the military department.
However, as the empire lost power and the government could not function properly, the relationship became complicated.
Eventually, in the Tang Dynasty, the leaders of the previous era would not go to the military headquarters, but would descend separately to carry out cooperation. This has changed into a culture of nurturing younger students by going to the clan or business affiliated with Jongnam.
But other old factions did not do that.
“You haven’t been seen recently, but I heard you’re staying not far from the shaman’s headquarters.”
Seung Hyun Jin-in nodded.
“He is like a dragon in the clouds, so he may have gone off somewhere. However, as far as I know, he is still working on his training near Mt. Wudang.”
That wasn’t all. Not only Zhuo Wuzi, but also quite a few masters of previous eras were stationed here and there on the peak of Wudang Mountain, pursuing the Tao or practicing martial arts.
Although the situation is different from Jongnam, it is completely different.
“It’s surprising, but it’s not something to worry about for nothing. And…”
Seunghyeonjinjin looked at Yanwei and Peng Wujiang.
“Right now, the first priority should be to wish good luck to those heading to the imperial palace.”
The Dukes nodded their heads.
Seunghyeonjinin said with a serious face.
“I heard that Tang Jin’s imperial palace is as good as the martial arts palace. “It may be difficult, but I hope we can right the wrong.”
Peng Wugang took control.
“Don’t worry.”
It was then.
“Military.”
Zhuge Wenhu responded to Yan Wei’s call.
“Please tell me.”
“If possible, could you prepare the Uijeong Army so that they can deploy at any time?”
“yes? “Uijeong-gun?”
Everyone looked at Yeonwi with puzzled faces.
Yeonwi nodded.
“If not, that’s fortunate, but if King Bi has an empty mind, the Mukryongbu will take its own measures to catch him.”
“Of course it is.”
“Right now, the most powerful weapon that the Mukryongbuju can use is my son.”
“…hmm.”
“They may be concerned, but the Uijeong Army is the unit that can immediately follow Grand Marshal Yeon Ho-jeong’s orders. “I think it would be a good idea to be prepared to move immediately if they request troops to be dispatched.”
Bokho Shinseung nodded.
“What Yeongaju said is correct. Moreover, the mobility of the Uijeong Army can be said to be the best in the military. “This is the unit that can best follow Commander Yeon’s strategy and command, so I think it would be a good idea to prepare it for the next time.”
Zhuge Wenhu asked.
“Do you think that Lord Mukryong will order Yeon Daesu to bring King Bi?”
“I don’t know. This person is just a penman. But…”
Yeonwi’s eyes deepened.
“If we sent the commander-in-chief Yeonhojeong to attract Baekbyeongshingun and Emperor Eum to our allies, I think there is a possibility this time as well.”
“Of course that could happen.”
It seemed that Zhuge Liang had other thoughts.
But even for a moment.
“We will quickly make a decision on this matter after a meeting with the public officials.”
“I understand.”
“Don’t worry about this and have a safe trip.”
Finally, Yan Yu and Peng Wu-gang bowed their heads.
“I’ll just go now.”
“May luck be with you.”
Yan Wei and Peng Wujiang Zhuge Yan left to take care of the affairs of the imperial palace.
Zhuge Mun-ho said to Gae-gyeong-do.
“Where is the Ark?”
“He is currently crossing Shaanxi and coming to Henan. “I think he will come to the Murim Alliance soon.”
“Hmm, I see. great job.”
Zhuge Wenhu, who sent the opening message, entered the conference hall with his subordinates.
While the meeting was going on, Zhuge Li’s expression was not bright.
‘King Bi… maybe he…’
* * *
Yeon Ho-jeong and his party passed through Hubuk and entered northern Honam.
I didn’t necessarily intend to move fast, but I also didn’t intend to go slow, so I picked up quite a bit of speed. Moreover, thanks to the arrangement of the boat from the open branch, the speed of going down the river became faster.
The group that reached Honam settled down on a gentle hill.
Gangryang grumbled.
“It’s cold. Are you homeless again?”
Paeyul said in a crooked voice.
“It’s not just once or twice, so why are you so dissatisfied?”
“It’s not a complaint, but rather… There’s no need to sleep in the open when you can just rest in the base or in a guesthouse, right? “It’s not like I don’t have money.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You can’t practice to your heart’s content if you stay and eat on base.”
“…Are you going to practice again?”
“I have to practice until the day I die. And even though it’s a night stay, there’s no problem with sleeping, right? “It’s so cold that I don’t even shiver.”
“That’s true, though.”
Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
“I think if you take a bath in hot water and then drink a glass of well-heated alcohol, you will have no wish.”
“There is a guest house not far from here. “You can go and rest if you want.”
“How can you be so loyal?”
Paeyul hit Kang Ryang on the head with the tip of his spear.
Perfect!
“Oops!”
“Stop babbling and go pick up some branches. “Let’s make a bonfire.”
“Why are you hitting me without words?”
“This b*stard?”
“…I’ll be right back.”
Mukbi stood up smiling.
“Let’s pick it up together.”
“I have no one but you.”
Gangryang and Mukbi walked around.
So Jeong-gwang, who had been silent for a while, quenched his appetite and stood up.
“I will help too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“no.”
“yep?”
“You have something to do with me. Follow me.”
“…Of course.”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke to Hwang Seok-tae and Paeyul.
“It might take a while, so sleep first.”
Hwang Seok-tae nodded and Pae-yul spoke in a sour voice.
“What kind of monster are you trying to create again?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and turned around. So Jeong-gwang followed Yeon Ho-jeong.
After a while.
Yeonhojeong stopped when he came to a fairly large open space, quite far away from the group. It was an empty space bathed in clear moonlight.
“This would be perfect.”
So Jeong-gwang shrank his neck like Zara.
“I’m scared.”
“what?”
“Seeing as how you brought it quite far apart.”
“I know. “Why did you bring me here?”
“…I’m starting to get really scared.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his back and said.
“You received a separate call from Jinyang, right?”
“Did you know?”
“Yesterday, I saw a meeting with a blacksmith in the village.”
“You’re incredibly quick-witted.”
So Jeong-gwang quenched his appetite.
“I think I’ll join tomorrow.”
“What is your clan?”
“….”
“It looks like it was dismantled.”
So Jeong-gwang closed his eyes.
“That’s right. It was a sect that went through a lot of hard work, but it only took a moment for it to disperse. “Once again, I really don’t know how life will turn out.”
“….”
“Still, it looks like he gave a lot of money to each of the scattered disciples. “Well, I’ve been saving it for a long time.”
“They all scattered.”
“They say there are only fifty left. “The 50-year-old said he would follow suit unconditionally.”
“Fifty years….”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“But it looks like he had some connections.”
“Well, it was Moonju without an answer, but it had charm. “I didn’t clean up the poop for no reason.”
The number of formal disciples of Hwaungmun was about two hundred.
One hundred and fifty of them are leaving and fifty are planning to spend their lives together. If the owner of a sect disbanded the organization and still had 50 left, it meant that he had gained at least one reputation.
“by the way.”
So Jeong-gwang scratched his head.
“I think we can get to the point now?”
“Let’s ask one question before the main topic.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to where the group was with his chin.
“What did you feel while looking at them?”
“…They are strong people?”
It may seem like a thoughtless answer at first glance, but from So Jeong-gwang’s perspective, there was no clearer answer than that.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“right. Everyone is strong. Even Jinyang’s martial arts skills are not ordinary.”
“….”
“Compared to him, you are very lacking.”
Not only were all the people around Yeon Ho-jeong overflowing with talent, but So Jeong-gwang’s martial arts skills were actually amazing for his age. He didn’t even have a worthy teacher.
Despite learning martial arts late, he rose to the level of a peak expert. In terms of simple talent, he might have been better than Jinyang.
“If you join me, you will see a lot of terrible things. “You will experience countless life-threatening battles.”
“What do you mean…?”
“I will improve your martial arts skills.”
So Jeong-gwang swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
Although he was busy taking charge of military affairs as well as the administration of his clan, he was also a martial artist.
It is said that a rare monster who has surpassed the world’s greatest late-life index and opened the realm of martial arts is teaching him. There was no way my heart wasn’t pounding.
So Jeong-gwang lowered his head.
“I decided to be with Moonju, or Jinyang, but I can’t be the only one to embarrass myself.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“It’s a good attitude.”
“Then what should we do first? Shall we start with the law of war? Or the history…”
“Throw it all away.”
“to?”
“The inner gongsim method and the extreme method that you are learning. “Throw it all away.”
So Jeong-gwang’s face hardened.
“Throw it away?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It’s not the martial arts that’s right for you. “If you work hard day and night, you will achieve results, but if you plan to see the end, it is not enough.”
“No, then what kind of martial arts do I have…?”
“You were Yeonseong…”
At that moment, Yeonhojeong cleared his throat. Without realizing it, I almost talked about the days of the Emperor of Darkness.
“I will teach you the martial arts that are right for you.”
So Jeong-gwang’s eyes wavered.
On the other hand, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were shining brightly.
“It is an area where talent, luck, and hard work must all be supported… but at least if you do not give up, this is the season that will serve as a foundation for reaching Seongcheon in the future.”
“…!”
“Do you want to take it?”
The five ministers who performed invincible feats under Yeon Ho-jeong each had a splendid star title.
The shrine is silent.
The Sword King (劍王) Gangryang.
Jinyang the magic sword.
And, excluding the remaining one, what is So Jeong-gwang’s nickname?
It was a Nando Blood Demon.
So Jeong-gwang, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong quietly, opened his mouth.
“I want to ask you something.”
