Episode 987
When I put it down, I could see the sky (4)
Three teacups were placed on the table.
Since it’s been a while since we last met, it would have been nice to have a drink, but Yeon Ho-jeong said it was not the time to drink and suggested that we substitute tea.
If you can have a conversation over alcohol or tea, that’s enough. Kang-ryang personally drove the car, and Jin-yang grumbled that these people don’t even know the taste of daytime drinking.
“But what about you and the others?”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“It will be coming. “I had some work to do so I went out alone.”
Kang-ryang clicked his tongue.
“You left without saying anything again, right?”
“That’s how it happened.”
“Why do you keep doing this to make people feel bad?”
“I am reflecting.”
“Isn’t action more important than reflection? Don’t think that’s a big deal. “Every single one of those things makes people upset.”
“Okay, I’ll try not to do that in the future.”
“You don’t have to tell me.”
“So you’re not apologizing to me?”
Kang-ryang looked at Yeon-ho-jeong with a confused face.
Jinyang said with a grin.
“Cancer apologies should be made to those who have done wrong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head to Jin Yang.
“Have you lost some weight?”
“I haven’t been able to eat anything and all I have to do is cut myself, so I’m not going to lose weight and I’m not going to lose weight. No, but why the Murim League? “There’s a lot of money and a lot of people, but isn’t the food too poor?”
“I heard you couldn’t eat and all you did was cut? “Why are you suddenly cursing Su Su?”
“I’m not insulting you, but I’m just saying the food here is really bad.”
“But we’ve improved a lot, so that’s enough, right?”
Jinyang frowned.
“It’s enough, but it would be better to train separately from now on.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
“You can tell without even looking. “You almost died from being hit by a strong sword, right?”
“…It’s not like I almost died. But how do you know that?”
“Looking at the two people’s martial arts skills, it seems like they actively accepted each other’s martial principles and attempted to change their Qigong skills as well as herbivory. Wouldn’t that require sharing to the level of enlightenment?”
“….”
“It seems like you are still one step above me, but your martial arts skills and strong swordsmanship are close to being opposites. “If Kang Ryang had decided to go into a defensive position and start attacking in an instant, even you would have been at a loss.”
Jinyang looked at Yeonhojeong with curious eyes.
“When on earth did you look at my martial arts skills in such detail?”
“Is there a need to concentrate? “You just know it when you see it.”
“It’s really amazing. This is why I hate geniuses. “He commits insensible acts with the ease of breathing.”
“You are a genius.”
“You’d rather curse. “Is it true that a nobleman, rumored to be the youngest Seongcheon, is selling medicine that doesn’t work?”
“I was lucky.”
“It’s done.”
Yeon Ho-jeong saw the sword hanging on the table.
The blade of Jinyang’s long sword was full of rough marks here and there.
Originally, a scimitar was used, but half of the spear was cut off. It was still a size that could be called a great sword, but it looked much sleeker than before.
“Still, it’s amazing. “In the meantime, you cut off the spear pole and used it.”
“If you want to use the changed martial arts, Eonwoldo Road is inconvenient. I thought this was because I lacked skills, but that wasn’t the case. Fundamentally, the scimitar sword is not suitable for martial arts.”
“So, did you destroy your beloved soldier?”
“It’s not a pet disease, but… a disease is just a disease. “The center of gravity is a little off, but I’m used to it so I won’t be able to use anything else.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“You are better than me.”
I thought that Jinyang’s attitude of using the Gwangryongbu to suit me, even in anger, was in some ways more warrior-like than his own, which was to throw away the Gwangryongbu without even using it because it was not suitable for his hand.
“Jinyang, even so, it would be better for you to change your sword too.”
Kang-ryang shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m so used to it that I can’t handle anything else. “What if I could become stronger? I’m awkward.”
The subtle differences between Gangnyang and Jinyang also resembled the differences in the martial arts that each practiced.
Kang Ryang is stronger than his own swordsmanship and will not learn it even if he sees high-level new techniques.
On the other hand, Jinyang will bring the martial arts and take what suits him in the same situation. If you have to discard your existing martial arts skills in the process, you can do so at any time.
It wasn’t a question of who was right. The difference between the two was not only a difference in unlearning, but also a difference in enlightenment and personality.
I was already looking forward to the extreme contrast in martial arts skills the two would show when they reached their peak in the future.
“Anyway, he’s grown up nicely. “We will just have to continue to move forward with that attitude.”
“I’m going to rest for a while.”
“That’s good too.”
While speaking, Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly felt that the conversation was somehow going beyond the surface.
When I thought about it, the way Kang Ryang and Jin Yang looked at me was a little different from before.
It feels like there’s some caution. Even though there was something I wanted to ask or say, it felt like I was trying hard to keep my mouth shut.
he asked without hesitation.
“Is there anything else you want to say to me?”
“….”
The two people’s expressions became awkward after just one question.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You know you guys aren’t smart enough to fool anyone, right?”
“You speak harshly.”
“At least it doesn’t work for me, so if you have something to say, say it.”
Kangryang hesitated without realizing it.
Jinyang scratched his head and said.
“See, I said you’d know it when you saw it. “You’ve been hanging out with this guy so much, but you still don’t know it?”
Kang-ryang grumbled at the sudden reprimand.
“It’s not a matter of how much you know each other.”
“Of course not. So, let’s say it coolly. “You’ll find out anyway.”
“Yes, but.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“What on earth is going on?”
Jinyang emptied the car in one go.
“Huh! hot. F*ck the roof of my mouth.”
“….”
“What is this… This is the Murim League.”
“Is there an idiot who doesn’t know that?”
“The Murim Alliance is a union of Baekdo political factions.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed as he saw Jin-yang spinning around after asking to talk.
“Just say it. What?”
Jinyang quenched his appetite.
“The disputes have increased a bit these days.”
“dispute?”
“exactly.”
“The Murim Alliance warriors started a fight with you?”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“If you don’t want to get hit and die, you won’t be able to do that.”
Everyone knows that the two people are close friends with Yeonga.
That alone would be difficult to mess with, but the martial arts skills of the two were those of transcendent masters, and they could be said to be at the level of leaders of the Great Gate Sect.
Kangryang is still growing and may be a bit clumsy, but Jinyang, unlike his frivolous remarks, possesses a force that is ripe for the taking.
Are you going to pick a fight with people like that? Who on earth?
Kang-ryang sighed and said.
“If it’s natural, it’s natural.”
“….”
“As Brother Jin said, the Murim Alliance is an alliance of Baekdo political factions. And Jin and I are from Heukdo. “Even your brother became a minor lord of the Mukryongbu.”
“so.”
Although they were grave, the two felt that Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice had become several times colder.
“The political faction, the Sacred faction, the white faction and the black faction have been at odds with each other for a long time. In other words, it is impossible to count the clans that have been enemies for generations. “If you say you are a black swordsman, how many people will pull out their swords and look at you?”
“And vice versa.”
“Of course it is. But this is the Murim Alliance. It is in the middle of the inner wall, where the central tissues are gathered. “There are people who know how to control themselves, but there are bound to be many who would stab themselves if given the opportunity.”
“Of course it is. But they…”
“They haven’t shown any such expression so far.”
“Yes. It’s not because of me. Not even because I have a father. When the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu formed an alliance, such an atmosphere was created for us. “There is no choice but to fight a bigger enemy.”
“I know. I know everything. But isn’t that atmosphere something that can be changed?”
Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t understand.
Of course, as Kang-ryang said, such an atmosphere can change at any time.
But who led the mood?
They were Bonggong and elders, including the central public ambassadors of the Murim League.
Furthermore, all warriors who had ever faced the three religions spoke passionately about their danger. How many Murim warriors actually died at their hands?
At least the damage was stopped because Yeon Ho-jeong and several others killed or drove out the Three Church members in the shadows. If it weren’t for Yeon Ho-jeong, who clearly read their actions, there was a good chance that the Murim Alliance would have been destroyed right away.
In fact, public opinion was boiling all over the country asking, ‘How dangerous would it be for the Three Qiaoran tribes to join hands with the Mulongbu?’ The hostility and fear toward the three religions was so great.
They say the atmosphere can change at any time.
This is especially true in times of peace.
Still, how long has it been since the dissatisfaction with the Black Island has been creeping in?
You can be dissatisfied regardless of other things, but it is not warrior behavior to argue with people who have come to join forces to fight.
‘….’
Yeon Ho-jeong felt the anger that had been sleeping inside his chest blooming quietly.
His anger was one-dimensional. It had to be that way.
They say people have their own circumstances, but let’s put it this way, there are circumstances like this. Gangryang and Jinyang are people who came to Maeng because of their connection. I couldn’t help but feel angry at people like that.
“So what happened?”
Kang-ryang spoke cautiously.
“It ended well. To be honest, we didn’t have any intention of fighting. If you use a knife wrong here, it could cause a crack in the black-white alliance, and honestly…” “
….”
“It’s a bit difficult to fight with people who are less than a fist away.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.
Even though he said that, it was obvious how angry he must have been.
If he had touched the person with Yeonga, that is, the person with Sobuju of the Mukryongbu, he would have come out quite strong there as well. Perhaps you have suffered extreme insults.
Whether it’s Gangryang or Jinyang, it’s probably not true. Perhaps Jinyang’s grumbling about the poor quality of food was due to his strong dissatisfaction with the Murim Alliance.
“I also felt that the atmosphere had changed a little. I felt quite a few hostile stares while walking here. “It’s not like it didn’t exist before, but it has changed quite blatantly.”
“You felt it too, brother.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking down at the teacup, stood up.
“I’m going to visit the soldier for a while. “Just rest.”
“Brother, don’t do that…”
“It’s because of you, but it’s also because of the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu. “The sooner you understand exactly what the atmosphere is, the faster the conflict will be resolved.”
“….”
“Of course, I will find and bring in all those who have been rude to you. “Even if they had a grudge, they crossed the line.”
“Brother, let me tell you first…”
That was then.
“…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head and looked at the gate.
A familiar prayer that I suddenly felt.
It was a prayer that was familiar, but now a little unfamiliar.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
After a while.
“Let me guess?”
A low, comfortable voice came from beyond the unopened gate.
“He’s probably about to go to the military department by now. Maybe I’m wrong?”
A slightly mocking tone.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s fist gained strength.
“…Moyong family head.”
