Episode 952
Enlightenment (2)
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes shook greatly.
Master.
He was a benefactor of the world who saved him from wandering the mountains, unable to live or die, exhausted not only in body but also in mind.
If he had not met his teacher at the time, he would have become a madman wandering the wilderness and would have ended his life miserably by being blinded by a sword.
In other words, the fact that he was able to stop the Three Religions and further reflect on himself and pursue a progressive life were all thanks to his teacher.
The benefactor that such a teacher thought he would never meet again appeared before his eyes like this.
Yeon Ho-jeong knelt down and bowed.
“Master.”
What else is there to say?
In my dream, my face appeared blurry and I felt strange at first, even though I had not seen him for decades.
When I thought about it, my memories were vague. Although I clearly remembered Master’s voice and actions, I couldn’t remember his face.
Only now did Yeon Ho-jeong realize why he could not remember his teacher’s face.
Because the teacher wanted it.
The great martial god, who could even control natural energy just by changing his emotions, had the ability to control energy to the extreme and could amplify or decrease a person’s cognitive ability with just a strong intention.
But it was different now.
Yeon Ho-jeong bowed and raised his head.
Just from its appearance, it doesn’t seem that special or special. To put it a little exaggeratedly, the face was no different from the face of an old man commonly seen in any town.
However, there was something different about the teacher’s face from other old people.
It was the eyes.
The mysterious eyes, which seemed to contain something deeper than a deep, sunken abyss, made the viewer feel distant.
The wrinkles on his forehead and cheeks around his eyes were like the surface of a giant tree that had survived the elements of a thousand years. Without a single exception, the neatly done hair was dyed silver-white.
Even though the not-so-big body was covered by loose clothes, it was clear that it was perfectly balanced. The body was so solid that you couldn’t believe it was an old man’s body.
Yeon Ho-jeong felt dazzled again.
Only now was the teacher clearly revealing himself.
And because he also practiced the same Yellow Dragon as his teacher, he was able to truly see his teacher’s true colors.
‘God-man.’
He is a human like God. Other than those words, no other expression is suitable.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at his teacher blankly, soon hardened his expression.
Slur.
Powder of light fluttering from the master’s shoulders and back.
The teacher’s appearance seemed to become increasingly blurred.
“Master.”
Huh.
The amount of scattered light powder decreased.
Yeon Ho-jeong realized that his teacher had temporarily blocked the deungseon.
“Get up.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slowly stood up.
The Heavenly Dragon came in front of him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Yeon Ho-jeong thought that the shoulder touched by his teacher’s hand felt somehow cool.
“Feel so good.”
Deep affection was evident in the touch of Cheoninryong that touched the shoulder, upper arm, lower arm, and then the wrist.
“I guessed that he had been constantly training since he broke the mold of a Shinigami and reached the Yellow Dragon, but I never thought he would have trained his body so well.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes began to tremble.
How long has it been since I felt the warmth of a teacher? He was so glad to hear his teacher’s hand brushing his arm.
“but.”
The Heavenly Dragon lowered his hand and smiled.
Yeon Ho-jeong saw his teacher’s smile for the first time. It was my first time seeing my teacher’s face with such a clear expression.
“It is much more impressive that he has maintained his burning soul until now rather than his polished body and energy.”
The teacher spoke soulfully.
soul. The current Yeonhojeong was a concept that could neither be seen nor felt.
“In order for a person to become a human being, he must find himself by facing others. This teacher didn’t do it right. “If I hadn’t met you, even though I lived for over three hundred years, instead of reaching the light, I would have lived wandering around the floor and dragged my rotten body to the underworld.”
“Master.”
“It’s so nice to see you again like this.”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt his vision becoming blurry.
The warm words of my teacher, who had never shown such sincerity before, shook my heart more easily than any enemy’s blade.
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.
“I wanted to see you again sometime.”
“know.”
“The disciple was insensitive and realized it too late.”
Cheoninryong burst out laughing.
The teacher’s laughter was very noble and had a deep resonance. Just listening to it made my ears feel refreshed.
“Your teacher realized the Yellow Dragon after living for more than a year. You were much faster than your teacher. Moreover, now that you have grown up and experienced Sasinmu, your natural talent and talent can truly be called Cheongchuleoram.”
“If it weren’t for the teachings given to me by my teacher, I wouldn’t have even been able to dream.”
“Of course it is. But if that’s the case, what excuse will the disciples who were worse than their teacher have to overcome their shame?”
“I do not know. However, even if I reached Hwangryong faster than you, it does not mean that I am a better warrior than you.”
“I didn’t know your speaking skills would be this good like they were in Memories of Thought.”
“I was just telling the truth.”
The Heavenly Dragon looked up at the sky.
Yeon Ho-jeong was curious. What does the sky and this world look like through the eyes of a teacher who has reached the level of immortality?
Cheoninryong, who was smiling and looking up at the sky, lowered his head again and looked at Yeonhojeong.
“The night sky is nice.”
“yes.”
“Shall we walk for a while?”
The two priests walked around the mountain.
“Is that your weapon?”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s take a look.”
Yeon Ho-jeong politely handed over the Gwangryongbu.
Admiration appeared on the face of Cheoninryong, who lifted the light dragon with one hand and looked around.
“It’s a great weapon. Judging from the vitality of the iron, it does not seem to be an ancient divine weapon. “Who is the producer?”
“A skilled craftsman lives near my home. “It is a weapon made by him.”
“It is a skill that is difficult to describe as a skilled craftsman. Although I have lived for many years, I have never seen such a highly complete weapon. “It can be said to be a landmark that will leave a mark in 100 years of history.”
It was the first time Yeon Ho-jeong saw his teacher praising someone like this.
Is it because it’s just before the summit? Or is it because he is thrilled to see his student grow so much?
The teacher revealed vivid emotions that he had never shown before without hiding them at all. Just looking at this rich emotion made me wonder if they were really the same person.
Cheoninryong handed over the Gwangryongbu again.
“Even if it is a world-class product, if the qualifications of the person handling it are not right, it is no better than a butcher’s six swords. “He probably wanted to let go of it before he reached the Yellow Dragon.”
Yeon Ho-jeong was surprised.
“How do you know that?”
“It’s not that surprising. “You may not have been able to see it transparently because it is your own work, but when you look at other people’s martial arts and weapons, you will be able to analyze them with the same perspective as me.”
Not at all.
When Yeon Ho-jeong first obtained the Gwangryongbu, he held it and wielded it in any fight. This is because the weight and destructive power of the weapon helped him demonstrate power beyond his own abilities.
However, after his level rose, for some reason he did not want to hold the Gwangryongbu.
He found the reason for his change in martial arts skills. In fact, it was said that he grew explosively after being exposed to various martial arts groups over the Gwangryongbu.
But it wasn’t because of his own change, but only because of the greatness of the weapon.
“That’s what a divine soldier is. “It shows the way to go far beyond one’s own skills, while it also rejects or even degrades those who do not meet the qualifications.”
“…!”
“Your ax is like that. “Because of its size and weight, it would have been a weapon that even you could not easily handle. You instinctively realized that it was not suitable for a weapon that boasted of outstanding perfection, and you grew quickly after several attempts. This can also be seen as the greatness of being a new soldier.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Gwangryongbu with new eyes.
I know that it is a luxury item that can be compared to any other weapon, but I have never thought of it as being that great of a weapon.
“On the other hand, the two hatchets attached to your waist are different. If he were a new soldier, he would be a new soldier, but this sword didn’t have as much soul as the godfather. “It wouldn’t have been too much of a burden to hold and swing it.”
“…okay.”
“Even a simple weapon can overwhelm its owner if it is imbued with the right spirit. It is no exaggeration to say that you owe your life to the craftsman who made that weapon, so make sure to make time to visit him in the future.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Still, the fact that you unconsciously felt whether you deserve it or not means that your senses are very sensitive. “Without constant training and self-discipline, we would not have been able to face such a period of change.”
The Heavenly Dragon’s voice was like a distant song coming from beyond the sky.
“The whole world is like that. While they find themselves in others, they are also influenced by Byeonggi, which is an object outside of the body. “Then, isn’t this mountain path we are walking on, the night sky, and the invisible air also important factors that change us?”
“….”
“Enlightenment is everywhere. People change when they come into contact with any shape or material. “Only by keeping my five senses open and always feeling the world can I increase the possibility of growth.”
The Heavenly Dragon smiled.
“Fortunately, you tried to feel the world much more sensitively than others. “Even though you had less martial skills than others, behind the scenes you grew up faster than anyone else, and it was your natural ability to always see and feel your surroundings.”
Yeon Ho-jeong calmly listened to his teacher.
It was a strange feeling.
When I first found my teacher’s original memory, I couldn’t hide my trembling heart, but when we started walking together, I felt very calm.
That’s why he was able to put each of his teacher’s words into his heart. In the past, I had forgotten a lot of my teacher’s precious teachings due to lack of leisure, but I couldn’t do that now.
The time we can spend together is so short.
In the face of that final separation, Yeon Ho-jeong planned to show her teacher all of her progress.
“I have one question.”
“It won’t be just one.”
“Of course I do.”
“Ask anything.”
A voice filled with ample composure.
Yeon Ho-jeong tried to ask about blood religion, but soon gave up and asked another question.
“It is said that Four Gods Martial Arts is a summation of combat martial arts with a long history, and is an unparalleled martial art that has been improved over several generations and has soon acquired an extremely free form.”
“It did.”
“Also, it is said that a person who has trained in the Four Gods Dance is called the Four Gods of War and can exercise physical power that can end any war.”
“That’s also true.”
“However, the Yellow Dragon God King Ball was created based on the Five Colored Hell Ball of the blood religion.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking and looked at Cheoninryong.
“What is the identity of Sashinmu? “Master, how did you become the successor to Sashinmu?”
