Episode 152
Notoriety and fame (2)
“Whew.”
Yeon Ho-jeong relaxed his posture. Then Mukbi also lowered his bow.
“Let’s stop here for today.”
dump.
As soon as I put down the light dragon, I sit down. As far as physical strength was concerned, he looked like a monster and was not like Yeonhojeong.
Mukbi asked worriedly.
“are you okay?”
“yes I’m fine.”
It doesn’t look good at all.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was still pale. The internal injuries have not fully healed yet.
“It would be best to rest for the next few days.”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“Look at the condition.”
Mukbi felt sad inside.
Hongyaohoe’s surprise attack inflicted a heavy blow on the Mortal Army. Although they have made a preemptive attack so far, they have never been attacked.
And as a result of the attack, more than ten people were seriously injured. It was fortunate that there were no deaths.
At that time, Yeonhojeong suddenly changed.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who took care of the seriously injured as calmly as possible and arranged for Uibang, immediately took Mukbi and some of his troops and attacked Hongyohoe.
Thinking back to that time, Mukbi swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
‘You can get so scared.’
Yeon Ho-jeong became a devil and went on a rampage.
It was a madness that is difficult to even describe in words. The assassins, who are said to be willing to die for their target, were so scared that they ran away.
Although he did not show it outwardly, Yeon Ho-jeong cared deeply for the soldiers of the Mortal Army. It may be a bit of an analogy, but it was almost like treating a child.
‘I’m sure they were more angry because of their methods.’
It is fate that casualties occur in the unit. No matter what tactics the enemy uses, the one who suffers is a fool.
Still, this wasn’t it. In Mukbi’s view, the Mortal Lord could have almost died.
He told her to be more nervous, but Yeon Ho-jeong must have had similar thoughts.
‘huh?’
Mukbi, who was looking at Yeonhojeong with a confused face, suddenly noticed that his hands were bleeding.
“Student. There’s blood on my hands…”
“Huh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at his right hand and licked his lips.
“For some reason, it felt a bit sad.”
“yes?”
“It is the fate of those who handle heavy weapons. “Unless your body has reached its extreme state, if you make a mistake, your hands could be crushed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong massaged his right hand.
“There is no problem with my bones or joints. It was just slightly pushed and torn. “You’ll get better if you rest for a few days.”
Mukbi sighed and took out a clean cloth from his arms. It was a medical cloth that I always carried with me because I didn’t know who might get hurt and when.
“Give me your hand.”
“are you okay.”
“Don’t be stubborn, give it to me quickly.”
“Oh, it’s okay. “You can leave it alone.”
“Give it to me before I end up burning a hole between my eyes.”
“here.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stretched out his hand. Mukbi wrapped the cloth around his hand in a familiar motion.
“hey.”
“why.”
“But are your fingers okay? “When I saw the demonstration at Hongryeon Palace, it was no joke.”
Mukbi threw a dagger in a calm voice.
“are you okay. “I’m not a fool who can’t take care of my body like everyone else.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was silently watching, suddenly hit his forehead.
Sigh!
“evil!”
Mukbi suddenly sat down.
Sparks flew before my eyes. For a moment, I almost lost my mind.
“What are you doing!”
“Sniff. “I’m just bored.”
“This is really…!”
Mukbi pounded his chest as if he was disgusted. You should know how to accept it calmly when people tell you that you are worried, but you are the kind of person who doesn’t even know it.
“The rest will take care of itself!”
“You were already going to do that?”
“Ugh! “You have to try something like that to come to your senses.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Muk-bi’s back and leaving the place with a huff, grinned.
Then, as the silence disappeared, his face distorted.
“Oh, that stone-headed b*stard. Did you have a steel band wrapped around your forehead? “What is it?”
If you ever end up fighting that guy, I think you should never headbutt him.
Still, after experiencing the pounding pain in my head, the random thoughts seemed to disappear. Yeon Ho-jeong touched his forehead and sighed.
“The internal wound isn’t healing again.”
This internal injury was suffered when the main camp of the Hongyohoe exploded.
I noticed the scent and immediately tried to avoid it, but the jade blue dug in too deeply.
He used up his extreme internal energy and performed a bloody battle. I couldn’t even remember how many times I opened it.
He was able to save everyone in the end, but his internal injuries were quite severe.
‘Well, considering that there were no deaths, it’s practically nothing.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, sitting cross-legged, operated Byeokna Jin-gyeol.
Ugh.
A refreshing blue energy filled my entire body just by looking at it.
Before I knew it, I was on the verge of reaching the tenth level of Byeoknajingyeoldo Island. Once you have reached the tenth level, there is no longer any place to go further in the mind dharma itself.
From then on, time becomes infinitely deeper. In other words, it is a fight about how to cultivate Byeoknajingi, not a fight about increasing achievements.
And that moment when you completely pave your own path.
It is said that at that time, the state of martial arts reached its twelve peak.
The problem was now.
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Okay, I understand now.”
The reason why treatment for internal injuries is delayed compared to the past Heukamje era.
Immediately after finishing his fight with Myeongcheon, he collapsed. And it took more time than expected to heal the internal injuries.
It was the same this time too. The internal injuries suffered from the explosion of gunpowder were quite severe, but it was normal for him to have recovered by now.
And only now did Yeon Ho-jeong realize why his internal injuries recovered later than during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.
“It was because of my strength.”
It wasn’t because of the Three Divine Energy. However, it was not because of the absence of blue dragon energy.
It was because of Byeokna Jin-gyeol.
To be precise, it was because the amount of internal power that would serve as the basis for the Shinigami was much less than before.
To begin with, Yeon Ho-jeong was a person who did not consider the amount of internal strength important. And that was the right perception.
Strength is quality rather than quantity. High-quality internal skills are ten times more effective than other internal skills with just a penny of power.
It was common sense and the truth. Neither the martial arts of the right faction nor the martial arts of the Sa faction deviate from the basic principles.
But Sashinmu wanted more.
‘In the first place, the Shinigami itself produces a higher level of power than any other Neigongsimbeop’s true energy. Because of such characteristics, the quantity was as important as the quality of the underlying mental technique.’
The place where the Four Gods reside is not the dantian, but the organ in charge. In other words, deepening the Four Spirits means that the abilities of the organs in charge are more active than before.
As the organs become activated, the body also undergoes constant changes. The teacher said that the bodies of the warriors of the four gods from generation to generation were as strong as diamonds.
‘So did I.’
During his time as Emperor of Darkness, his body was no different from a weapon. It was capable of easily crushing a steel plate without putting any effort into it.
‘That’s why Master passed on Hongcheongi to me.’
Hong Cheon-gi itself was by no means a martial artist worthy of discussing the world. It can be called first-class, but it is not at the level of being called a divine skill.
The biggest advantage of Hongcheongi was the amount and speed of condensed energy.
‘Hong Cheon-gi accumulated a greater amount of internal strength than anyone else, so the Four Gods were stable. There was no reason to flinch just because you suffered internal injuries.’
In other words, in order to solve the problem of the recovery speed not being as fast as before, the underlying power capacity must be amplified.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘Let’s take Socheongidan.’
I still haven’t eaten the Socheongidan that Zhuge Zhenyan gave me.
Gangho is dangerous. You never know when something will happen. It wasn’t going to be a big problem right away, so I was saving it for the future.
After thinking for a while, Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
‘No, I’ll have to give that to Jipyeong later.’
Rather than taking elixirs to increase your internal energy, you increase your overall skills by increasing your achievement of internal energy and mind techniques.
It’s a bit of a detour, but it’s better if you think about it later. He could be sure.
‘Now that I have learned Sasinmu, it is right for me to advance to a higher level than in the past. ‘You won’t be able to overcome the yellow dragon with a simple approach like before.’
Eating just one Socheongidan will not cause any problems in your martial arts growth. In fact, it could have been better.
‘but.’
Leave it alone for now. He believed that the principles of martial arts that he had learned along his path would not betray him.
‘First of all, I will give Byeoknajingyeol a ten-seong victory. After achieving the twelve-star polarity through gradual amplification of internal strength…’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
‘I need to master the Five Great Gods.’
If you learn all of Yeonga’s five great techniques, the highest secret technique will reveal itself. At that time, you will be able to obtain both quantity and quality of internal energy.
Yeon Ho-jeong made a plan step by step. I’ve been so busy that it’s been hard to find personal time, but I thought it worked out better.
It was a time when I was alone with my thoughts.
“older brother?”
“ok?”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head. There, Pang Man-ho was closing his eyes with an innocent look on his face.
“uh? “When did you come?”
“I was deliberately stomping along, but you didn’t know?”
“Oh yeah? But what happened?”
“Sister Zhuge is calling you.”
“Oh, I get it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up and frowned at a sudden thought.
“hey.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“But can you stop talking about that brother?”
“why? “Don’t you want to hear it?”
“It’s not like that, but we’re the same age, so why do you keep calling me brother?”
“If you are a respectable person, you should call him brother. “Do you know that Guan Yu was older than Liu Bei?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was about to say something, just sighed and waved his hand.
“do whatever you want.”
“yes.”
“But what do you respect about me?”
“You use a heavier weapon than me.”
“…Is that all?”
“At best? It’s respectable enough, that much. “I can’t be pushed around with my own strength, but in front of you, I can’t…”
“Don’t call me brother.”
“why?”
“If you don’t want to call me, don’t call me, you b*stard.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was walking briskly, felt himself crying for no reason.
“Why do you respect something like that because you have nothing to respect?”
“I’m here? hmm? “Why do you look like that?”
“Why does my expression look like that?”
“It just looks so awkward. Why is your forehead so red again? “Did you hit it on a rock somewhere?”
“I pounded it on something harder than a stone.”
Yeonhojeong asked, sitting roughly spread out on the floor.
“So why did you call me, soldier?”
Zhuge Zhenyan chuckled.
“Don’t make fun of me.”
“I’m not kidding. “You’re military, right?”
“Okay, look at this.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face instantly became serious when he saw the letter that Zhuge Ah-yeon handed him.
“Deafblindness…?”
“They said they were calling it to praise the army’s achievements and to give them time to rest. “At least in name.”
“That’s the name… what else is there?”
Zhuge Yan took out another letter from his arms.
“That was sent by the Murim Alliance, and this was sent separately by Hoogae.”
Yeon Ho-jeong also read the letter sent by Moon Geun-sang.
His eyes sparkled.
“Ohh.”
“Isn’t it suspicious?”
A subtle tension appeared on Zhuge Zhen’s face.
“Dang Ga-ju is definitely not a person who has a lot to worry about. If not, it’s not, and if it’s right, it’s right. “First of all, my father saw it that way.”
“And yet you went out of your way to take the lead in defeating the Demon Army of Death and Death?”
“Do you smell it?”
“Yes, it smells.”
Yeon Ho-jeong thought of the party hall.
The noble face of a wolf with a dangerous ominous look in its eyes.
“In the end, I joined hands with Prince Moyong.”
“….”
“I expected that, but it was much faster than I thought.”
Zhuge Yan asked worriedly.
“What are you going to do?”
“What should I do? “An official order came from the government.”
“If you feel uncomfortable, you can take a little more time…”
Yeon Ho-jeong said clearly.
“no. The Mortal Army is an independent Confucian army. Although you are free, you must strictly follow orders from above. At least you should show that. “That is responsibility.”
“Wow, that’s difficult.”
“What about the kids?”
“There is no major discomfort in moving around. “Still, I need to stabilize for a few more days to avoid any setbacks.”
“good.”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt sad inside.
‘Jinyang might be at the next destination.’
Jinyang.
One of the Five Great Gods of the Black Emperor, a man who spread fear throughout the Baekdo martial arts world with his flexible martial arts skills as well as his cheerful disposition.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was deep in thought, soon shook his head.
‘This might be better.’
Both myself and the Mortal Army ran too hastily.
It was necessary to use this opportunity to reorganize the unit. Unfortunately, now was not the time to be greedy.
“I’ll be back to work in three days. I’ll tell the kids myself.”
