Episode 9.
What takes precedence over additive law (3)
“The patriarch of the family has arrived.”
“Take it in.”
The door opened and Yeon Ho-jeong and Yeon Ji-pyeong came in.
As soon as the two entered, the temperature in the house seemed to heat up. The heat radiating from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body was amazing.
“father.”
“Sit down.”
Two cups of hot tea were already placed at the table. I really liked the tea flavor that came with Heoyeon seaweed.
Yeonwi glanced at Yeonjipyeong. It was the first one who called, but it was a look that asked why you came.
Yeon Ji-pyeong said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
“Because I couldn’t say hello today.”
It was a poor excuse.
“Sit together.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong sighed in relief and sat down next to Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeonwi pushed the teacup toward Yeonjipyeong. Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was busy, did not see that.
Yeonwi looked Yeonhojeong up and down and nodded.
“I think I did it right.”
“My legs are still shaking.”
Although it was a joke, Yeonwi’s expression did not change.
“If you work hard and become a master enough to match the spirit of Jeonggi in the future, you will be able to do Mabo for three days and nights.”
“If you become a good expert, you won’t waste time playing Mabo.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong pressed Yeon Ho-jeong’s side with her elbow so that he could not be seen. I thought I was being too rude to my father.
However, the Yeonwi did not take issue with Yeon Hojeong’s words.
“But what did you call me for? “Did you call me to check my homework?”
“Let me be clear: it was not homework, it was punishment. “I thought I reflected properly, but I ended up overworking my body.”
“I don’t think my mentality will change even if I die.”
Those words were full of sincerity. It was natural, coming from someone who had died once.
Punishment had meaning when one repented of a crime. However, Yeonwi no longer held Yeonhojeong accountable for his words, as he could not repeat the punishment once given.
“Because of the incident with Namgoong, I couldn’t ask what I needed to ask in advance. “You want to learn Byeoknajingyeol?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at his brother in surprise. I had no idea that I had said those words to my father.
But at the same time, I understood. Now that my older brother has mastered the art of non-relationship, it is time to learn the family martial arts in earnest.
Yeonwi said in a stern tone.
“Byeokna Jingyeol is a martial art that belongs to the five major gods of the main family. However, there is no point in growing it if the roots do not support it. “You know that, right?”
“of course.”
Yeonwi felt strong confidence in Yeonhojeong’s answer.
“Have you mastered the method of non-relationship?”
Yeon Ho-jeong gave his answer without saying a word. This was because I thought it was better to confirm in person rather than tell.
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at her son, placed her hand on the door.
‘hmm?’
Yeonwi’s eyes changed once.
A richly flowing spirit. The head and most of the limbs are open blood vessels.
“When?”
“It’s the morning of the day I left Josadang.”
The Yeonwi inspected the inside of Yeonhojeong once again.
And I realized one fact.
“I am unfamiliar with the flow of true energy. “Rather than gradually awakening and adapting to your body, you realized it all at once.”
This time, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes shined.
‘You really are amazing.’
By looking at the flow of true energy and the traces of blood circulation, we understand how the mind and law were developed.
This was by no means easy. It was a trace that even a rising expert would have passed by without notice if his senses were not sensitive.
Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Yeon Ji-pyeong.
There was a look of puzzlement on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face. It made me wonder why he bothered to check what he knew at a glance.
‘The sense of pyeong-i was inherited from my father.’
Compared to him, I was definitely less talented. His keen senses only developed after experiencing numerous mayhems and constantly being threatened for survival.
He was definitely different from his father and younger brother.
“I have escaped the confusion caused by energy. “Is this an academic approach to meditation?”
“It was just analyzed.”
“It is important to consistently pursue one path, but when it doesn’t work, it is also a good idea to look for another path. Good job.”
“…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became the size of a flower lantern. Yeon Ji-pyeong also opened his mouth.
It was the first time I heard my father say he did a good job.
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was said to have the greatest talent in the family’s history, had never received praise from Yeon Wi. The Yeonwi was stingy with praise and strong in criticism.
It was a word that meant a lot to the brothers in many ways.
“good night. “I will grant you permission to train in the Five Great Gods.”
“thank you.”
“But is there a reason why you chose Byeokna Jin-gyeol?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I think it suits me best.”
Each of Yeonga’s five major gods had their own unique characteristics. At the same time, the level and difficulty of all five were similar.
In the end, which of the five martial arts to learn was a personal choice.
Yeonwi watched Yeonhojeong in silence for a moment before speaking again.
“I have something I want to ask.”
“yes.”
“Only now have I allowed you to train in the Five Great Gods. “No one in the household can learn the Five Great Gods Skills unless I, the head of the household, give permission.”
“I know.”
“But you told me to tell Sumunssangwi that I would learn Byeoknajingyeol in advance.”
Yeonwi did not intend to admonish Yeonhojeong for his arrogance.
“Did you know the fate of Byeokna Jin-gyeol?”
Yes.
The Five Great Gods cannot be mastered even by blood relatives without the permission of the head of the family. What this means is that the teachings of Shin Gong were not leaked to the outside world.
However, the eldest son said that he would learn Byeoknajingyeol in advance.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who paused for a moment, opened his mouth.
“It’s not just Byeoknajin-gyeol.”
“hmm?”
“I know all the details of the Five Great Gods.”
This time, Yeonwi could not help but be surprised. His slightly widened eyes showed his state of mind.
Of course, Yeon Ji-pyeong looked like he was about to faint.
“You know the nine secrets of the five divine arts?”
“That’s right.”
“how?”
Because my father taught me.
The family was being attacked by some kind of group.
While the brave warriors of the Yeon family were fighting and shedding blood on the front lines, Yeon Wi passed on all the martial arts of the Five Great Gods to his two sons.
Of course, I couldn’t memorize all the verses because I didn’t have time. Yeon Wi gave Yeon Ho-jeong five authentic books and five copies of the original to Yeon Ji-pyeong in an attempt to make him escape.
However, Yeon Ji-pyeong was unlucky. He died during a fierce battle with the soldiers who occupied the retreat route.
Yeon Ho-jeong ran away, shedding bloody tears. At that time, he also wanted to avenge his younger brother, but the reality of his helplessness and the sense of responsibility for the revival of the love family led him to the forest.
And three months later.
Yeon Ho-jeong met his teacher and conquered the Black Island within a few years.
“Did you go into the military library?”
The unmanned library was a library where the military secrets of Byeoksan Yeonga were stored. It was also a place thoroughly guarded by some of the greatest warriors in Yeonga.
“I have never entered without permission.”
“if?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Yeon Wi blankly.
“Father showed me.”
“what?”
In my heart, I wanted to talk about everything.
That she is Yeon Ho-jeong, who has returned to the past. I wanted to tell you everything about how the future would change and what kind of life I lived.
He really wanted to tell his father everything.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s fist gained strength.
‘Not yet.’
I don’t know if they will believe me, and even if they do, it’s not right now. He thought so.
“I showed you the level of the Five Great Gods? “When?”
“How many times did you take me to the unmanned library when I was young?”
Yeonwi tightened her eyebrows.
“When you were young… do you mean when you just started martial arts?”
“That’s right.”
“You still remember the rescue of the Five Great Gods that you saw back then?”
“yes.”
In the end, I had no choice but to act like that.
In fact, Yeon Ho-jeong’s memory was several times better than when he was young. It was natural since I had deeply cultivated my upper brain.
I was sorry for deceiving my father, but I thought there was nothing I could do.
‘I like this for later.’
Yeonga’s best martial arts was not the Five Great Gods.
Rather, if you know all of the five great martial arts, you can realize the best martial arts in Yeonga.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s statement that he knew all the secrets of the Five Great Gods was a laying stone for the future. After mastering Byeokna Jingyeol, I planned to learn the secret techniques of Yeonga.
Because you can become the best if you master it to the point of perfection.
“I remember the martial arts rescue that took place ten years ago…”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“What is the use of the Five Major Balls to someone who has trouble even with the basic balls?”
“Now that I have mastered the law of mind, can I speak now?”
“yes.”
It feels a bit uncomfortable.
“The number of martial arts alone is over 1,200 characters long.”
Yeonwi shook her head.
“Your memory is quite amazing.”
One unexpected thing is that Yeonwi did not tell Yeonhojeong to prove it.
“Even if you knew all the nine techniques of the Five Great Gods, was there any reason to learn them in a hurry? “Unless you want to show off your memory, I don’t think there’s any reason to be in a hurry.”
there is.
These were words I only shouted in my heart. Of course, this time Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t say that.
“I just wanted to learn it as quickly as possible.”
“In general, learning a divine skill requires a calm mind and a cautious approach. “Try to keep that in mind.”
“All right.”
Yeonwi slightly buried her back in the chair.
“good night. “I will allow you to practice Byeokna Jingyeol.”
“thank you.”
“Stop here before breakfast tomorrow. “I will teach you the basics of meditation and the transformation of non-yeongi (flying energy) into Byeoknajingi (碧羅眞氣).”
“All right.”
It was clear that it would be faster to transform alone, but he followed his father’s advice this time too.
In this world, there are things that must be protected no matter how urgent it is. For Yeon Ho-jeong, it was a promise and affection for her relatives.
‘I just need help with the beginning and do the rest myself.’
If I can speak one more word with my father with that little help, that’s enough.
We approach each other slowly, step by step. At least in this life, I will not have any regrets about not being able to treat my relatives.
“Just go and take care of things.”
“Oh, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Have you received a call from the Namgung family?”
I asked just in case, and the answer was surprising.
“come.”
Yeon Ho-jeong furrowed his eyebrows.
“You got a call? “Are you sure you apologized?”
“It was not an apology from the head of the family.”
“Of course it is. The distance to Anhui is quite long. “It is not possible due to time constraints.”
“However, a letter came from the individual head of the family. “It was a letter apologizing on behalf of the midnight incident and my nephew’s rudeness.”
The head of the family personally sent an apology letter overnight?
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
‘This is bad.’
A hot-tempered person is quick to apologize?
it could be. However, Namgung Daesan was the head of the Namgung family and at the same time the younger brother of the family head. There was no way he would have apologized so quickly, no matter how unjustified it was.
“Are you aiming for something?”
Yeonhojeong mutters without realizing it.
Unlike before, Yeonwi’s eyes when looking at Yeonhojeong did not contain only strictness.
“I will take care of this matter, so just leave.”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong and Yeon Ji-pyeong bowed politely and left.
Yeonwi, who was looking at the cooled tea, emptied all the teacups in Yeonhojeong’s place.
Yeonwi’s face was still expressionless as she rested comfortably on the chair.
“It didn’t take twenty years.”
