How to untangle a tangled thread (9)
“Brother, I’m here… huh?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.
“sister?”
Mukbi was sitting on the window sill, looking outside.
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked around the room.
“sister. “Where is your brother…?”
“I’m gone.”
“yes?”
Mo Fei waved a piece of paper in his hand.
“I left this document behind.”
“You went? “Where?”
“well.”
Mukbi’s face became clouded.
She learned a lot from the official during this trip to Cheonghae. It wasn’t highlighted because there were martial arts experts who finished a major fight, but without her, there might have been quite a lot of casualties.
Still, the sight of her walking around and taking care of people without showing any emotion was definitely impressive.
However, since she was only human, it was inevitable that she would be tired, and she was able to relieve that fatigue by talking to the Yeon brothers and the party official.
But now her face looked so tired. The gaunt expression on his face was very pitiful, as if all the fatigue from the past had come to him at once.
“It would be great if you could at least tell me directly.”
Mukbi smiles bitterly and Yeon Ji-pyeong is embarrassed as he doesn’t know what’s going on.
At that time, a somewhat helpless voice was heard.
“I guess you went too?”
The two people looked out the door in surprise.
There was a magwon and a party hall there. Unlike the party hall, which looked fine, Makwon’s face was still pale.
Yeon Ji-pyeong asked.
“Did you know?”
Makwon shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I could feel that Yeonje was a bit impatient. Amazing! and jumped out.”
It was their own sense that people who were not in the infinite universe could not feel.
Mukbi spoke with a self-deprecation that was uncharacteristic of her.
“Now you’ve become someone you can’t understand unless you climb into that realm.”
Makwon cleared his throat for no reason. Yeon Ji-pyeong sighed.
However, the response from the authorities was quite different.
“If I were to judge whether or not I understand a person based on what I can and cannot do based on the state of nothingness, I would have cut off ties with the b*stard long ago.”
Mukbi looked at the party hall.
Tang Gwan was leaning comfortably against the wall with his arms crossed. He seemed completely unfazed by the sudden disappearance of Yeonhojeong.
It wasn’t because he felt Yeonhojeong’s energy.
“Sometimes you may feel sad, and sometimes you may feel angry. Because of this, you may not want to understand the other person and may live with a deep-rooted feeling in your heart for a long time. “All people are like that.”
“….”
“But if you want to understand the other person and create a better relationship with the other person, you have to have a proper conversation.”
Because it was coming from a party official, the statement carried weight.
In that respect, he was the one who lived more foolishly than anyone else. He was not even a stranger by blood, and had lived without seeing his father for over twenty years.
Because the words were full of such enlightenment, I was unable to answer in silence.
“Of course, even if a thousand words are exchanged, it is meaningless if those words are scattered in the air without entering each other’s hearts. The important thing is to have many deep conversations with the other person so that clear interactions are possible.”
Mukbi’s eyes wavered.
The official shook his head.
“There aren’t many people in the world who know how to do that. Even I, who know that, am not good at it. However, even if you are angry and frustrated with the antics of someone close to you, unless you are planning to end the relationship, conversation is absolutely necessary.”
“Is it ultimately about understanding the other person?”
“In the end, it’s about understanding the other person for your own sake. “If you don’t like it, you can just break off the relationship.”
Although it was an extremely simple statement, it was a statement that was difficult to understand because it was so simple.
Dang Gwan, with his arms folded, spoke to Mak Won.
“Let’s rest a little longer and then head back. “If that guy had moved separately, something would have happened, so all we have to do is act as we please.”
“Well, the matriarch is right.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Mukbi.
Mukbi, who was quietly staring into space, sighed.
“You looked ugly.”
“No, sister.”
“Even though I know he’s that kind of person, it’s frustrating when he leaves without saying a word. “It’s not that difficult to just say a few words and leave.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled bitterly.
“My brother was really bad at that.”
Mukbi, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ji-pyeong, smiled.
“Do you want to see your bad brother?”
“of course.”
Mukbi sighed again and put his arm around Yeon Jipyeong’s shoulder.
“I think we’ll have to stay a while longer, so let’s have a drink. “There was good alcohol in the warehouse.”
“Don’t you have to get permission from Prince Cheon?”
“Then let’s get permission and drink together.”
“Good.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was leaving the visit, looked around the room for a moment.
Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled bitterly.
‘Brother, just when you think you’ve gotten a little closer, you start to move away again.’
* * *
Yeonhojeong’s new method of crossing the Cheonghae using Cheonjong’s operating fee looked old-fashioned, but was very fast.
After completing the Hwangryongshinwanggong, the overall form and flow of martial arts changed. However, in the meantime, the new law was not much different from before.
The Cheonjong Haengbi was not fundamentally a divine law belonging to the Sasinmu. It is a new method of Yeonga Vision, and although there is a slight difference in output depending on the inner air core method, it provides very stable and fast speed.
If you learn it properly, you can move quickly and with endurance using any skill. If you are a master who has reached the pinnacle of excellence, it goes without saying.
Since he was carrying three axes, he was not as fast as if he were bare-handed, but he was able to escape Cheonghae at twice the speed of traveling on horseback.
By moving alone, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to change the essentials of the Cheonjong Unbi, which he had not paid attention to so far, to suit Hwangryonggong and his own body. Although it was not a completely new creation like Geumryongimu or Yonghyeongbobeop, it was a meaningful training in itself.
That’s how Yeon Ho-jeong came to prison.
At night, we lit a bonfire and went to sleep, and when day came, we moved on.
When they were hungry, they hunted or found clear water to catch fish. And when it was digested, I ran again.
It wasn’t that I was in a hurry, but I moved at a very fast pace because I only moved with the mindset of practicing divine law.
Days and days and more.
Yeonhojeong entered Shaanxi from Cheonghae via Gansu and climbed to the top of a mountain.
dark night. The countless stars and the shining moon could not have been more beautiful.
After looking up at the sky for a while, Yeon Ho-jeong took out new clothes from her luggage and went to the stream to wash for over half a day.
After grooming himself neatly, he sat down on a hill with a clear view of the mountain below and sat cross-legged. Then I fell into meditation.
One day passed quickly.
I lost concentration for a moment, but when I fell back into meditation, two days passed quickly.
On the third day, the sun was particularly hot. The moment I felt it, my concentration was broken once again, but I quickly fell into meditation.
How many days have passed like that?
Yeon Ho-jeong’s meditation was not broken even when the sharp wind blew, the hot sunlight scorched his skin, and even when the poisonous stink of the mountain animals washed over him.
In that lonely and cozy darkness, Yeon Ho-jeong thought.
‘Why did I come here?’
Even though he packed his bags and left, he didn’t understand why he was leaving. I just ran vaguely.
And I didn’t try to understand myself. It was because my instincts told me there was no need to understand.
But now I had to know.
Now that he was in deep meditation, he was finally able to look at his own incomprehensible actions transparently.
‘Whose will is it that led me here?’
Is it my will? Or is it the will of someone whose instincts grasp it but whose mind cannot?
Either that or else.
‘Yellow Dragon.’
Rumbling!
The huge copper hole in the chest containing the yellow dragon shook as if there had been an earthquake.
Stone debris falling from the ceiling. The yellow dragon, coiled as if it wanted to destroy the entire cave, howled fiercely.
thud! thud!
The body of the dragon, which seemed like an illusion but was so huge, struck the cave wall.
It was not a struggle of anger. It wasn’t because of urgency or tension.
‘Joy?’
Yes. Now Hwangryonggi was howling with joy.
‘What are you so happy about?’
The yellow dragon was a contradictory energy that could be both a clear object with spirituality and Yeonhojeong itself.
It can be this and it can be that. That is why it is difficult to awaken the Yellow Dragon God King. Even if you know it with your head, it is difficult to reach if you do not realize it with your body and mind.
For the first time since reaching Hwangryong, Yeonhojeong was unable to properly interpret Hwangryong’s struggles.
however.
‘comfy.’
I’m not worried.
Rather, Yeon Ho-jeong’s own heart was pounding according to Hwang Ryong’s emotions.
I can’t explain it, but I feel like this moment will be a big turning point.
Since he had formed a group, the group heading to Shinmarim were people for whom he was responsible. And he has never once turned his eyes away from his responsibilities.
but now.
This moment was different.
I arrived here following a vague yet strong instinct that made me feel like I had to set aside all previous relationships and move.
‘No matter what reason or what situation happens, I just exist as me and that’s it.’
Yeonhojeong makes a small resolution.
However, the next day, his calm and strong resolve was shaken to its core.
‘…?’
After meditating for a while, Yeon Ho-jeong’s ears twitched.
At the same time, my consciousness shifted somewhere between reality and meditation.
‘what?’
Even when I am drowsy, I feel tense.
‘Is it an animal? Or…’
It wasn’t an animal.
But it’s not a person either. Although it was clearly a living thing, something that could not be defined as any kind of being was approaching this place.
Wooooow.
The yellow dragon, which had struggled for a while and then became quiet, raised its head again and roared.
Grumbling.
A drop of cold sweat flowed from Yeon Ho-jeong’s forehead.
Tsutsutsu.
A faint red light leaked from between his eyebrows and then dissipated.
Flash!
Yeon Ho-jeong finally opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
Even though it was not a full moon, much brighter moonlight was shining down on the hill.
The flowing clouds were gorgeous, and the twinkling starlight wriggled like scattered light, showing off its splendid beauty.
Is it a particularly beautiful sky or is the sky reflected in my eyes beautiful?
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up and turned around.
Exciting!
My heart was beating strongly.
Cheeeeeeeee!
The yellow dragon flag that extended throughout his body smoked golden smoke. The appearance of Yeonhojeong, draped in a golden haze, was finally complete under the moonlight.
And there was an old man in front of him.
Her hair, neatly tied behind her old, shabby but clean white coat, was shining gray-white.
Even though he wasn’t holding anything in his hands, it seemed as if he was approaching with his hands full of thousands of dragons.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyelids fluttered.
The falling moonlight cried loudly, and the twinkling stars cheered all at once.
In the brilliantly burning light of darkness, an amazing light appeared on the tired face of the old man as he walked step by step across the pale earth.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a trembling voice.
“Master.”
