Episode 914
Originally there was nothing (2)
“Hmm.”
Paeyul stroked his chin.
“This guy is amazing.”
Buseon looked at Paeyul with puzzled eyes.
However, even though he didn’t ask any particular questions, Paeyul said while looking at Okcheong who was sitting cross-legged.
“The practitioners of Taoism all have different origins. Since our perspectives on the Tao are different, the goals we pursue are bound to be different. “Everyone has the power to resist the devil, but that’s why their prayers are different.”
“….”
“But even though the new techniques this guy has learned are clearly Taoist new techniques, there is something strangely murky about them. If he didn’t learn martial arts incorrectly, he pursued such prayers from the time of production…”
Paeyul scratched his head.
“I don’t know. Although it shows the characteristics of a typical shaman and martial artist, it doesn’t suit him at all. “How did Master Geomseon (劍仙) teach such martial arts?”
Paeyul speaks alone without anyone asking. However, there was no sign of embarrassment or awkwardness at all.
Maybe I’ve developed that habit due to the long period of closure. Buseon thought so.
But Paeyul’s self-talk did not end with self-talk.
“You’re amazing too?”
“You mean me?”
“Yes you.”
There was a strange look in Paeyul’s eyes as he looked at the boat. It was a look in his eyes that was not easy to understand, but there was a desire to win at the base of it.
“I’ve never seen anyone use martial arts so dynamically. Yeon Ho-jeong, that guy wasn’t that good either. Is that really the martial arts of a fighting king?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“I just reinterpreted Master’s martial arts in my own way. “So that it fits my body.”
Paeyul nodded.
“Making it my own martial arts. It’s really important. “To have already accepted such enlightenment at that age is truly worthy of being called Tuwang’s disciple.”
“Did you say loss rate?”
“yes.”
“Why are you speaking informally?”
Paeyul looked blankly at the boat.
As the two people continued their strange conversation, their conversations continued in other places as well.
The official explained to Mukbi about the injection ceremony, and Mukbi listened to his teachings with a serious expression.
Yeon Ho-jeong and Makwon Cheon Hyo-rak were also talking about various things about the fallen Wei So-gang. Hwahyang was located behind Cheonhyorak, and the look in her eyes as she looked toward Shinmarim’s headquarters was vaguely vague.
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was stroking the horse’s mane alone, suddenly looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
‘older brother.’
There was not a single drop of blood on Yeon Ho-jeong’s clothes. Of course, it was the same for Makwon.
Even though Yeon Ho-jeong had just wiped out a whopping 250 demon troops with unbelievable force even with his own eyes, Yeon Ho-jeong did not seem to be shocked at all.
It seemed strange to Yeon Ji-pyeong.
‘It’s not that you don’t feel guilty. People probably don’t know that it’s wrong for people to kill people. That’s for sure.’
In order to know something, you had to point out clear facts.
‘But my brother is not shocked. I don’t think it’s just because I have a lot of experience.’
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who had been looking at Yeon Ho-jeong for a while, sighed.
‘I still have a long way to go. ‘I still don’t know.’
It was then.
“The little guy is already sighing.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong raised his head in surprise.
When the conversation ended, Yeon Ho-jeong was in front of me.
“older brother.”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
As if he had been waiting for some reason, blood was seeping out from around the shoulders of his clothes.
Yeon Ho-jeong clicked his tongue and took out a white cloth from his arms.
“Show your shoulders.”
“It’s okay….”
“One minor wound can have an impact on the actual battle. “You will know when you reach the limit. For now, listen to me.”
“…yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong began tying a cloth around Yeon Ji-pyeong’s shoulders.
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was sitting awkwardly, spoke quietly.
“older brother.”
“why?”
“How long will you rest?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“why? “Are you feeling itchy already?”
“Oh no. That’s not true…”
“Is it because you seem too relaxed with the enemy lines in front of you?”
“That’s right.”
They were on the border of the camp. If you go a little further from here, the fearsome and unstoppable force will begin to create illusions.
Of course, I couldn’t just go in. Even if it was just Yeon Ho-jeong and Mak-won, some measures were needed for the whole group to enter together.
Of course, despite that, I couldn’t help but feel relaxed.
“The first thing to do is to disband that group. And we should first find out why that situation unfolded before the disbandment.”
“You caught the enemy captain, but why don’t you ask him?”
“What kind of fool is the captain? The internal injuries are so severe that I can’t even come to my senses. Even if he had his mind, unless he was an expert, there was no way he would know how to break through that camp.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Prince Cheon clearly said that the formation was not in place when he left Shinmarim. But you said you need a lot of materials to carry out that strategy.”
“hmm.”
“It is difficult to say that Prince Cheon was planning to leave. If you could bring that much material or troops, you would think it was no big deal. In other words, they had been preparing for it for a long time, and the fact that Duke Tian escaped there before that can only be explained as pure luck.”
“Is that so?”
“Since we joined hands with Gwanghyeol, there will be martial arts beasts that came out of Gwanghyeol. What matters is the number. They would never have been able to dispatch a large number of them since they were trying to have a fight with the entire midfield. “This is a fact that can be seen just by looking at the fact that Soroeumsa was immediately brought in.”
“….”
“However, considering the history of the Shinma, there is no way they would have sent someone like that. Gwanghyeol considers divine magic as a kind of collateral. If so, how many troops and responsible personnel would have been sent? Still, the number of Gwanghyeol’s Martial Arts will not exceed two.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked blankly at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was expressionless as he stroked his chin and analyzed the current situation.
But what he said was by no means light. Yeon Ji-pyeong also had some knowledge of strategy and tactics, but he did not have such sharp and outstanding eyes.
‘I knew you were great, but…’
Martial arts is just martial arts.
It is strategy and tactics that can raise the power of martial arts to the limit on the battlefield. Power can only be used when it needs to be used, and power that is stretched out recklessly cannot have much of an impact on the battlefield.
“Anyway, for that reason, I decided to take a short break. This fight is likely to be a long one. Or it could happen faster than you think. “I think now is the time to take a break and watch the other person’s reaction for a while.”
“…older brother.”
“huh?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong said with an admiring face.
“You are truly amazing.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“what?”
It seemed like I didn’t know what was truly great.
I wasn’t pretending not to know because I was embarrassed, I was sincere. In other words, it was only natural for Yeon Ho-jeong to exercise this level of analytical power.
Yeon Ji-pyeong did not hide his feelings.
“Your brother is truly amazing. Even if I work hard and study all my life, I don’t think I’ll be able to reach your feet.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became gentle.
“Jipyeong.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Do you know why I brought you into this fight?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong was about to nod but sighed.
“I thought I knew… but now I’m not so sure.”
“You are the head of the main family.”
“…older brother.”
“Leading a family is ten times more difficult than practicing martial arts for a long time to achieve rapid development. “I passed on such a difficult task to you.”
“Brother tongue! “Don’t say things like that.”
“Leading a family is not just about raising the power of the warriors under your command. Sometimes you have to bargain over things like a businessman, sometimes you have to bow your head over something insignificant, and sometimes you have to take responsibility and risk your life even though it is not your job.”
“….”
“But that’s not something you can learn by teaching. On the contrary, if you keep it in your head too hastily, you will end up making mistakes that you shouldn’t have to make at a critical moment.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
“In times like that, what standard do you think we should set and reflect on ourselves?”
“…I do not know.”
“You have to look into the essence of who you are as a person and what makes you who you are.”
“Is it your heart?”
Yeon Ho-jeong placed her hand on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s chest without answering.
Ugh.
The gently rising yellow dragon energy flowed through Yeonjipyeong’s heart chamber.
“Don’t try to be like your father. Don’t try to be like me. “Father and I love you, but we cannot show up every time you are in danger or trouble and solve everything.”
“yes. I know.”
“There must be someone besides us who can help. But in the end, the desire to get help is also yours. “Everything happens under your judgment.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Weren’t you disappointed because they didn’t tell you anything after being dragged here?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong was embarrassed.
“Oh no! I can’t believe I’m sad. “It can’t be.”
“Is that so?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was silent for a moment, lowered her head unconsciously.
“I was a little disappointed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled broadly and stroked Yeon Ji-pyeong’s head.
Although he has now become a full-fledged young man, in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, he is still just a young and cute younger brother. At least not yet.
“I hope you realize this for yourself. I will never tell. “I’m sorry for making you feel sad.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong waved his hand.
“No, brother. “It’s because I’m not good enough.”
“I just want you to know this one thing. “The reason I haven’t explained this to you is because I believe you can understand it on your own.”
“…!”
“Even if the sky falls and the earth splits and this world splits in two, I love you. “There was a time when I was jealous of you because I didn’t want to admit my own inferiority, but I swear to heaven that won’t happen again.”
“older brother.”
“You are my younger brother who has no other place in the world. That’s why I believe in you. “I don’t believe you because you follow me, I believe you because you are me.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong bowed his head once again. I was somehow touched and embarrassed.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.
“In the past, I thought I had no talent. Wrong. “I also had talent.”
“I have never seen a genius as big as you.”
“I am now seeing a genius greater than that.”
“yes?”
“You are there, right?”
“Brother tongue. I…”
“Blood is blood, but you, like me, can’t admit that part at all.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and turned around.
“Believe in yourself. Then you will see the answer. “If your father and I believe in you, but you don’t believe in yourself, you will never feel so defeated.”
“….”
“Don’t get hurt. “My father and I feel the pain of having our arms cut off by the sword carved on your shoulder.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled as he spoke.
“I don’t think there’s anything to say about a subject that has brought you to such a critical point. “Forget this.”
Although he told her to forget, Yeon Ji-pyeong thought she would never forget those words for the rest of her life. It was because my brother’s words were filled with deep affection and sincerity.
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at his brother’s back for a long time as he walked away with his back turned.
After two examinations.
A time when countless stars twinkled in the dark sky.
The ghost came unexpectedly.
