Episode 481
Bottom preparation (6)
“Now look at this part.”
It was a moment that required concentration, but Yeon Ho-jeong still could not hide his surprise.
What unfolded before my eyes was a huge, detailed map that was one page long and wide. The map included all the areas where he fought with the Twelve Warlords and the area where Tang Guan fought with the Five Warlords.
What was admirable was the knife-like distance and detail. It was a map so precise that it could be trusted even if it was made by a map expert.
“Did you draw it?”
“So who’s going to help me with this crazy thing?”
“That’s amazing.”
“Okay, just take a look.”
Zhuge Zhenyan pointed here and there on the map with a serious face.
“The Shinhwa Church had the audacity to establish an information base not far from the Murim Alliance. “It was not easy to find out because of the terrain, and it was not far from the village, so it was easy to get information about the surrounding area.”
“It did.”
“But they didn’t choose this place just to get information.”
Zhuge Zhenyan brought a piece of transparent oil paper.
There, complex shapes were drawn with fine brush strokes.
“This is Paljinmulyangdo (八陣無量圖), one of the Buddhist axes often used in the main family. “It is a basic formation that uses the eight trigrams as a framework to establish the axes of the four thoughts and the life and death path of yin and yang within the thoughts.”
It was a basic formation, but to Yeon Ho-jeong, who had never studied formation properly, it was a shape that seemed too complicated.
“The reason I drew Paljinmulyangdo on this oil paper was to show it on a map.”
Zhuge Yan placed the shape of the Paljin Infinite Island on the map.
The center was where the Shinhwa Church used it as an information base.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Now, how do you feel about looking at it like this?”
“To life or death…?”
“As expected, you have a good feeling, don’t you? that’s right. When you took the eight directions as Bagua, the place where you fought the twelve generals was on the Sun Fang side. “With distorted thoughts, small yang (small yang) has taken its place, and that place belongs to the path of death, which is yin (yin) in terms of yin and yang.”
“I literally fought in a place where you died and I died.”
“that’s right. And Lord Yeonga and Hu-gae came from Saengro to Saero.”
“But…”
“Isn’t it strange? “Both on the map and in your memory, it would be difficult to see the area where you fought as a dead road.”
Yeonho also agreed.
Considering the surrounding environment, the place where there was a battle of life and death with the Twelve Warlords could never be a historical site. It’s just that the weather is dry and there are a lot of trees around, so it’s advantageous for those who have learned the heat-yang technique. No matter how hard you try to put together a plan, it’s hard to see it as a limb unless it’s a special case.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“Is it a difference in the true axis? So what I’m saying is that because of your family’s Eight Jins Infinitesimals, this difference is…”
“That’s absolutely not the case. “No matter how Paljinmuryangdo is remodeled, that area cannot become a living road.”
“But that wasn’t Saro, right?”
“That’s why it’s a problem.”
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes deepened.
“It’s not just the Paljin Infinite Island. “No matter what kind of Jinbeop axis you bring from the original family, it is difficult to make that place a living road.”
“Isn’t it because it’s the Zhuge family’s method? If you are a Jinbeop expert who solves equations with a different perspective than you….” “
I am confident that although I cannot say for sure that my family’s Jinbeop formula is the best in the world, it is clear that it embraces the most extensive formula in the world. In other words, there is no place other than the main house where you can solve the true principles of Sapa or magic practitioners.”
It’s definitely strange to see him say this.
Seeing Yeon Ho-jeong thinking hard, Jegal Zinc brought another piece of oil paper.
“Now, shall we try this?”
“What is that?”
“It is the Ten Battle Paths that encompass all directions, from the zero pole to the nine palaces.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Just take a look.”
An oil paper with the Ten Commandments drawn on it appeared on the map.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
“how is it?”
“Still, it’s Saro?”
“yes?”
“What’s interesting? “Saro is Saro, but if you get out of it, it becomes Saengro.”
“…?!”
“It follows exactly the sequence of the Five Elements and Six Harmonies in Samjae’s history, right?”
“Ohh?”
“no? It is the yin path of yin and yang, so it is the path, but after that, it is the path of the three blessings, the sun of thought, the tree of the five elements, and the east path of the six combinations? “Isn’t this raw food?”
Zhuge Zhenyan quenched his appetite.
“Would you like to learn some tricks from me later when you have time? “I think you have talent?”
“If I have time.”
“You’re right. As a result, that place is Saengro. The problem is that when you look at the details of the battle, it is strange that the so-called Twelve Commanders chose that place as the main battle site.”
“Because the day was dry and there were many trees around. It’s not just there. “The information hub itself was like that.”
“But that doesn’t change the fact that that place is private. “Don’t you know better why?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“riverside.”
“As expected, you’re smart.”
Every member of the Shinhwa religion learned Yeoyanggong.
The center of Yeoyanggong is fire, and fire is weak to water. Water polarization (水克fire) Water tends to overcome fire.
Of course, if you are a Shinhwa religion’s military expert, you can blow away even a considerable amount of water power with fire power.
Even so, it was strange that that area was chosen as a battlefield. Gyujeok had the ability to change the environment of the battlefield, and even though it was not there, the weather was dry, so it was an advantageous fight for him who had learned Yeoyanggong.
“It’s not just that. “The place where Lord Dangga and the Five Tiger Commanders fought is also the corner of Soeum (少陰) that escaped to Saengro and returned to Saero.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
“It’s possible that it’s all a coincidence. It may be strange to the eyes of someone who solves equations, but fighting is what it is…”
“I know, I know. “The problem is that it’s too elaborate to be a coincidence.”
Zhuge Yan took out another map.
“This is the place where the prosperity of the First Warlords took place, that is, the place where the masters of the Murim League and the warlords of the Shinhwa religion fought for life and death. “This isn’t very detailed, so take that into account.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face hardened as he looked at the map and even saw that the Paljinmuryangdo and the Tenjeondo had overlapped.
“This is really strange.”
“yes?”
“Is there a blueprint for this building?”
“doesn’t exist. “It can’t happen.”
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes for a moment. It is a reconstruction of the movements of the armed forces during that fight.
But it wasn’t easy. No matter how brilliant Yeon Ho-jeong was, the fight took place months ago, and even after that, there were more than once or two times when everything happened that made his head explode.
However, I did remember a few things.
It was a fight that risked my life. It was one of the most dangerous battles ever since I returned, so every single moment of it remained in my memory.
“how is it? “Do you remember?”
“Anna. But…”
When Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes again, his face was full of bewilderment.
“I keep getting the feeling that the movements of individual armed forces and the overall strategy itself are made up of a single framework.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not sure. “It’s just a feeling.”
“It’s a feeling, but it’s enough to make you feel uncomfortable.”
Zhuge Yan threw away all the maps.
“No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange. Establish an information base not far from the Murim Alliance? That’s bold. “It is unknown, but seeing them actually use it makes them worthy of praise for their boldness.”
“yes.”
“The problem is that if they had a counselor, they would never have set up a base here. “It would have been better if they had infiltrated the army. Why did they set up a base in such an ambiguous place, knowing when and how they would get caught?”
Yeon Ho-jeong also always wondered about this. However, because the impression of the three religions was so close to fanaticism, it was assumed that this could be the case.
But that wasn’t it.
“They are moving in a surprisingly tight manner. “It follows the movements of crude shapes that make it difficult to even guess what kind of strategy it is.”
Zhuge Yan looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“If what you say is true, the martial arts they learned also contained the movements of these strange shapes.”
“….”
“Isn’t it really amazing? They are like puppets who faithfully carry out orders given from the top. Even insects wouldn’t do this.”
Yeon Ho-jeong fell into thought again.
‘Does this make sense?’
He once again thought of the warriors of the Mythological Church.
Their movements, their method of chanting, and even where their emotions become intense.
‘If you think about it…’
Yeon Ho-jeong calmly evaluated his martial arts skills.
‘At that time, even if I had achieved enlightenment from my previous life, did I have the skills to defeat the enemy that far?’
It’s unknown.
A fight cannot be judged simply by measuring its level. All kinds of factors are involved, including the mental and physical state of the day and environmental variables.
In other words, it is impossible to guarantee who will win or lose in any kind of fight. It is true that at that time, Beonjak was a master who was difficult to catch even if Yeonhojeong and Yeonwi combined their efforts.
Of course, the war situation was unfavorable, and since he got what he wanted, he would not have pushed himself further. In addition, Yeon Ho-jeong and Yeon Wi’s passing techniques also produced more power than expected. Momentum and mental strength are essential elements in fighting.
‘But…’
Thoughts continue to bite me.
Soon Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
‘It has already passed. And it was definitely a life-threatening battle. Beonjak clearly had a hard time with my father and I working together.’
There is no need to doubt even the elements that can be certain.
However, one thing was clear.
“If this is true, we can take advantage of their core weakness.”
“Yes, if you are sure.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Jegal A-yeon.
“How long will it take to obtain the blueprints of the building that was involved in a life-or-death battle with the armed forces at that time?”
“I don’t know. It’s not something that can be resolved on our own. Unless we borrow the power of blind intelligence or openness….”
“Then we have to do it. “We have to figure it out somehow.”
“Persuasion?”
“I’ll do it. “Don’t worry too much about that.”
Yeon Ho-jeong fell into thought again.
He seemed to have many thoughts. Well, it was definitely worth it.
Zhuge Yan waited patiently for Yeon Ho-jeong to open his mouth again.
How much time has passed like that?
“Have you ever been in the Bonggong conference room?”
Zhuge Yan tilted his head.
“Has it happened once? We went in together before, right? “To report to my superiors when the Mortal Army returns.”
“Oh, I did.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.
“I need to go in one more time.”
“uh? alone?”
“Either alone or with someone in charge. Of course, I will have to tell the soldier.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“I’m waiting for you. “I will get an entry permit from the soldier.”
“Are you coming in too?”
“No, I won’t go with you. “I will tell the soldier separately what you need to do, so don’t worry too much.”
“Then what about you?”
“I’m going to find out whether the Shinhwaists really instinctively follow a certain pattern as you found out.”
Zhuge Zhen was embarrassed.
“How do you know that? “No, who can you find out?”
“party.”
“what?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“One of the military officers we captured at the time is rotting in the Murim League prison.”
