Episode 862.
The Blooming Strong (2)
After watching Yeon Ji-pyeong’s martial arts performance, Yeon Ho-jeong looked very happy while having drinks with his father, Mukbi Gangryang, and Jinyang Makwon.
Whether you have achieved enlightenment or not.
Whether strong or weak, healthy or sick.
There is no happier place than a place where you can laugh and talk with your family and friends. For a person who had been so busy that he couldn’t even breathe, the concentration of happiness was bound to be even more intense.
Surprisingly, Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been drinking to the point of intoxication for the first time in a long time, collapsed the fastest among the group.
“I’m not this kind of person.”
Mukbi was embarrassed and tried to lift Yeonhojeong up.
Jinyang stopped Mukbi and put him on my shoulder.
“Please drink. “I’ll just throw it on the bed and come back.”
Makwon let out a laugh.
“I was completely relaxed.”
Yeonwi said with a smile.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been drinking and talking until dawn.”
“If you think about it, it makes sense. Hasn’t Hojeong been running without even being able to rest properly? “When I had a brief drinking session after returning from the imperial palace, I got so drunk that I passed out, but at that time, I had a strong feeling that I was pushed to the edge of a cliff.”
“Did he do that?”
“That’s right. But it’s different now. I truly enjoyed this place. “Even though he had a body that wouldn’t get drunk even after 10 drinks, the fact that he got drunk before anyone else probably meant that Hojeong was opening his body and mind.”
“I think so too. And…”
Yeonwi said awkwardly.
“As I said before, you don’t have to be so respectful.”
Makwon was one of the youngest among the thirteen members of Seongcheon. No, he was actually the youngest.
Still, he was well past his fifties and approaching sixties. It is much more than Yeonwi, the head of the Yeonga family.
Since he was the owner of the highest level of military power and was older than himself, it was understandable that Makwon’s attitude was uncomfortable for the Yeonwi.
But Makwon coldly shook his head.
“I became sworn brothers with Hojeong. “I am not a person who has no reason to show proper respect to the person who is the father of the agenda.”
“Just because your relationship with Hojeong is like that, there’s no need for you to do this to me.”
“That is an unfortunate statement. “I hate a world where people must be treated preferentially just because they have built a small reputation and lived a few more years.”
“haha.”
“This is the relationship I wanted. Lord Yeonga does not need to think about his position in the martial arts world or his age. All that matters to me is that the head of the family is Hojeong’s father. That’s it.”
It was a clear and firm summary.
Although he is one of the strongest men in the world, in reality, Makwon appears to be simple-minded.
‘Hojeong has built a wonderful relationship.’
It’s not cool because the martial arts skills you have are great. Although he is worshiped by people all over the world for his great martial arts skills, he is not arrogant, but rather cool and cool.
He had a cool personality and was less knowledgeable about the world than I thought. However, it didn’t seem like his personality could change even if he knew more.
He is messy but kind, kind but not stupid. Although he possesses great power, he does not try to show it, but when he sees something wrong, he never tries to suppress his power.
As a Yeonwi, he was a wonderful servant whom I had not seen in a long time.
“by the way.”
There was also honest admiration on Makwon’s face.
“What kind of martial arts did you practice, matriarch?”
“yes?”
“Even though you have not reached the ultimate stage, the spiritual power that flashes between your eyebrows is clearer and deeper than that of Lord Inkryong, of course. “In some ways, I think it’s deeper than Geomje’s Seonbae.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“It’s not an exaggerated compliment, it’s sincere. What kind of training did you do to possess such a fearsome swordsmanship?…”
Makwon shook his head.
“I can’t believe it when I see it. “Even among the strong in Danggeum Seongcheon, there cannot be more than five owners of Dandanjeon who are comparable to Lord Yeonga.”
Everyone who heard Makwon’s words was surprised.
It was a known fact that Yeonwi had acquired powerful military power through training beyond imagination. In particular, Yeon Ji-pyeong knew that his father was spying on his mind and body.
But I wasn’t sure it would have reached that great level. Since the level achieved in the first place was different, there were areas that could not be seen even if one had good senses.
If Baek Byeong-shingun Makwon openly acknowledges kendo, Yeonwi’s level must be truly great.
Yeonwi waved his hand.
“I just gained a little bit of enlightenment by focusing on one sword. “If it’s a force that won’t actually work, it’s of no use no matter how sharp the sword you have.”
“It would be a different story if that sharp sword were a divine sword that floated around on its own without the need to swing it.”
“Hehe, you’re lifting me up too much.”
“I’m just telling the truth. So be careful.”
“yes?”
Makwon smiled strangely.
“Like Hojeong, the head of the family is also someone who strangely stimulates the spirit of a warrior. If there is anything else, the Hojeong is dynamic and the head of the family is static.”
“Hehehe.”
“Even if I have not learned anything, I will try to control it harshly because I am the father of the agenda, but others will not do the same.”
“On the contrary, I would be honored if there was someone who felt a sense of victory for me.”
I’m not just saying this. Makwon recognized Yeonwi’s sincerity.
A smile appeared on Makwon’s face.
“Namgung’s sword emperor, who is said to be the best sword in the world at the time, will also visit the head of the family soon.”
“The Sword Emperor?”
“The head of the family’s sword power is so clear and vivid. “There’s no way Geomje didn’t feel what I felt, right?”
“Huh.”
“Thanks to Gojeong, you must have calmed down a lot of the burning passion of the king, but when there is someone who has such wonderful enlightenment, you can’t help but look at him.”
“It would be an honor in itself if the Geomje felt the favor of this master.”
The gentle yet heart-pounding conversation between the two stimulated the martial spirit of everyone sitting together.
Mukbi asked quietly.
“Anyway, did the practitioner say something strange earlier?”
“hmm? “What?”
“Another great expert is coming to the Murim Alliance.”
“hmm.”
“If the Yeon Gong-gong is to the point where he can be said to be a great master, I don’t know, but I think he is a master who has surpassed the limit….”
Makwon and Yeonwi nodded at the same time.
“That’s accurate.”
“right.”
Mukbi’s eyes wavered.
“Is someone else coming?”
Yeonwi stroked her chin.
“I’m still so far away that I’m not sure. “I haven’t reached that level, so even though I can see far away, I can’t see in detail.”
“yes?”
“What is accurate, however, is that the force of the person coming here is not lacking compared to that of Geomje senior.”
“…!!”
Everyone was surprised.
Makwon touched his lips and said.
“I cannot see as far ahead as the head of the family, but because I have achieved this level, I can see in more detail.”
“Hehe, I guess so.”
“It’s a sword.”
“yes?”
“It is a single-edged sword that is firm and sharp, but also straight and firm. “It’s very heavy.”
Baek Byeong-shin.
He is a godman who freely wields a hundred weapons. Makwon, who was well versed in all types of weapons, was able to see what kind of martial arts he had practiced throughout his life through the temperament of the giants who came here.
“It’s heavy, but I’m freer than anyone else. “It’s a great realization.”
“If it’s a sword…?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Makwon looked towards the east with strange eyes.
“If you had come all the way to the Yin Emperor, you would have had the opportunity to see the Holy Heavenly Three Emperors together…”
Early morning the next day.
“Are you awake already?”
“Hoo.”
Makwon, who was sitting cross-legged on the platform at Pagungak, looked at Yeonhojeong with a smile.
“Do you have a hangover?”
“I blew it all away. “Why don’t we just leave it as good energy?”
“That’s true.”
“Shall we go quickly?”
“huh?”
Makwon closed his eyes.
“Where?”
“I gained new insight. “If not you, who else will watch my martial arts skills?”
“…Ohh?”
Makwon’s face began to overflow with vitality.
“I still wanted to feel that golden energy again.”
It won’t be just Makwon.
Namgung Seung will do the same, and all the masters who were attracted by that energy will want to feel the new energy that Yeon Ho-jeong gave off.
“Nothing much. To be honest, I don’t remember the Four Gods’ martial arts techniques I’ve learned so far.”
“Huh? “You don’t remember?”
“yes. But it is also true that I don’t think it will be a big problem.”
“That’s a very interesting statement.”
“Please check. Please help me too.”
Makwon chuckled and relaxed his cross-legged posture.
“Good, good. “Let’s go.”
So the two suddenly moved.
Easy profit!
In an instant, the two people cross Pagungak and run to an open space in the forest.
Makwon suddenly looked back at Yeonhojeong.
‘…Hmm.’
Makwon’s expression became strange.
‘I guess it’s true.’
Yeonhojeong’s new law took a form that made it difficult to call it a new law.
It’s literally just running. Even the distance between the legs was arbitrary, and there was no fluidity or strong elasticity in the action of kicking the ground.
It was completely different from the Gyeongsinjutsu shown by Yeon Ho-jeong before. It wasn’t that he was running like that on purpose, but he really seemed to have forgotten how to use shinshinjutsu.
but.
‘It feels strangely natural.’
It’s clumsy. It is not a completed martial art.
But it’s natural.
Even empty words cannot say that the running appearance is of a high standard, but the form and movement of the true energy were very flexible and natural, as if watching the flow of natural energy.
‘This will be a very fun training.’
After a while.
The place the two arrived was where Ambassador Gong and Prince Mo Yong had been having a meeting not long ago.
Makwon said with a grin.
“Now how can I help you?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“I do not know. But… once we fight, won’t we come up with an answer?”
It was an extremely simple and clear solution.
“I’m surprised that the masters who have made their name in Seongcheon don’t have any noble enlightenment and just start throwing punches.”
“Isn’t it all about Seongcheon and martial arts?”
“Hehe, you’re right.”
Slurp.
Yeon Ho-jeong took a low posture.
Makwon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, took out a small dagger from his pocket.
“I’ve been having some fun with this lately. Can I use it? “Helping your guy is helping you, and I should also have fun.”
“of course.”
“good.”
Makwon, holding the dagger backwards, also lowered his posture. It was an even lower posture than Yeonhojeong.
“A large sword is about to come towards the Murim Alliance. It seems to be coming slower than expected, but it will probably arrive by tonight. “You know that, right?”
“Yes, I felt it.”
“Before that, let’s make three martial arts skills.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and took his feet away.
“Good.”
hook!
Yeon Ho-jeong rushed in like the wind and threw a powerful punch.
