Episode 27. Aren’t you going home?
The merchant of Cheonji looks dumbfounded in front of the destructive scene left behind by Yongjo Hajiga.
The merchant of heaven and earth, who had lost the will to fight, slowly lowered the tip of his sword that had been raised stiffly. The confidence that had been full just a moment ago disappeared without a trace.
I thought he was a boy with great internal energy, but the mysteries of his sword skills are beyond imagination. He may be the first person in the history of the shaman sect to have smashed the Taegeuk Hye Sword head-on.
But I had no intention of ending my romance here.
Now that you’ve received it, it’s time to give it back.
His knees seemed to bend slightly, but then he kicked off the ground and flew up powerfully.
The three types of dragon and wind tiger of the nine thousand thousand laws.
Cheonjisangin, surprised by Yeonjeokha’s sudden counterattack, quickly returned to battle stance.
The energy emanating from the park distorted the flow of air.
It seemed like a gust of wind was blowing from where the blade passed, but it soon turned into a huge whirlwind.
Kwakwakwakwa.
But surprisingly, the shape of a blue dragon appeared in the wind of the dragon fist.
The merchant of heaven and earth immediately realized that it was a dragon-shaped sword like the Taegeuk Hye Sword. The dragon-shaped sword energy was hiding inside the dragon fist wind.
Wheezing.
The dragon fist wind carrying the dragon-shaped pottery was pushed into the body of the Heavenly and Earthly Merchant.
The merchant of heaven and earth gritted his teeth and pulled up the Sun Yang Mugeuk Gong.
Since I have already used the Taegeuk Hye Sword twice, I don’t have much stamina. If I continue to use the Taegeuk Hye Sword with this much strength, my energy and blood will flow backwards and I will end up in a state of possession.
The merchant of heaven and earth decided to use the Taegeuk sword, which can be unleashed with just a little bit of internal energy.
Song Moon-go drew a circle in front of Yong Kwon-pung.
The last word that came to Cheonjisangin’s mind was Dangranggeocheol (鄭拒敵).
Kuuu-.
Yong Kwon-pung lightly pressed down on Cheon Ji-sang-in.
The dragon-shaped pottery that spiraled down around the body of the Heavenly Merchant as if caressing it, disappeared without a trace as soon as it touched the ground.
Sssss.
The severed hair and pieces of clothing were piled up at the feet of the merchant.
Among the items of the merchants of Cheonji, the only one that retained its shape was the Songmun Sword.
Yeonjeokha muttered as if talking to herself.
“I didn’t think he was a bad person, so I gave up on killing him. But I don’t know if it was a good thing.”
If he had not taken the life, his body would have been torn to pieces along with his clothes.
“… … Thank you.”
The merchant of heaven and earth, who had experienced overwhelming force, was not ashamed of defeat.
The warriors of Mansu Sangbang didn’t even breathe deeply.
The enemy is a man who can create a deep furrow and a dragon’s fist ten zhang (about 30 meters) long with just one swing of his sword!
The number of the punitive force is meaningless in front of him. He is the one who plowed the land that was ten zhang long with a single stroke of his sword. Imagine if that fell on the punitive force. The punitive force would disappear without a trace.
The merchant of heaven and earth walked slowly towards the wind swordsman, Sangmucheon.
Sangmucheon hurriedly took off his outer garment and covered his teacher’s body.
The merchant who had been laughing loudly muttered.
“Have you seen it?”
“yes.”
“You must have heard of the term ‘Cheonwicheon’. Subjugation? It is impossible unless the Emperor raises an army. Don’t even think about fighting him.”
Sangmucheon answered politely.
Honestly, I was thinking of doing that even without Cheonjisangin asking me to do so.
“If you understand, go back.”
Sangmucheon raised his head and looked at his teacher. For some reason, he felt strange.
“What about the teacher?”
“I will remain here for the time being.”
“yes?”
But the merchant of heaven and earth did not explain any further.
Sangmucheon did not dare to ask any more questions and had to lead the punitive force down the mountain.
As soon as he got off the ship, Sangmucheon ordered the punitive force to “not reveal what you witnessed today.” He had no choice but to do so for the sake of Mansu Sangbang and the Mudang faction’s reputation.
***
Despite the crackdown by Sangmucheon, the failure of Mansu Sangbang spread throughout southern Hanam. O Bongsanchae was known as ‘a slightly strong man’ rather than ‘a man who was neither heard nor seen’. The story of Cheonji Sangin is said to be a distortion.
There is a name that became famous along with Obongsanchae.
The rumor about the ‘ten heroes who protected Obongsanchae’ was secretly spread through the Mansu Sangbang warriors. People called the ten heroes ‘Obongsipgeol’. Of course, this was said to have been the case in Bobonghyeon and three or four nearby counties.
End of May.
I lay down on the flat surface in front of the hut and enjoyed a long nap.
The merchant of heaven and earth sat down next to the man who was like that.
Yeonjeok-ha opened her eyes at the sound and asked as if she was annoyed.
“Aren’t you going home?”
It’s already been two weeks since the merchant of heaven and earth stayed in the mountains.
In the meantime, he has been hovering around me, saying things like, “This is what the weather is like,” and “This is what fate is like.” Unlike the thieves, he doesn’t hate being with the old Taoist priest because his body and mind feel refreshed.
But why is the Taoist monk wandering around the mountains?
“Haha, Sohyeop, have you already forgotten Bindo’s nickname? Bindo uses the sky as his roof and the earth as his floor… … .”
“Oh, yes, yes.”
He raised his upper body, which was completely out of sleep.
The merchant muttered as he watched the children running around the yard, making noise.
“What a peaceful place. Bindo never thought that the mountains would be like this.”
“Master, I’m just curious. Why are you here? Everyone else is curious about that.”
The merchant of heaven and earth looked at Yeonjeokha with strange eyes.
I stayed in the mountains for the past two weeks and had many conversations with him.
I now know how absurd it was to think that he was Madou’s disciple.
The boy learned the art of qigong at Hyunmun.
The energy that emanates from his eyes and his entire body is clear and transparent. Of course, because he lives with bandits, his mouth is rough and he eats dirty food.
A female thief named Han Chae-yeon said, ‘Pung Chae-ju saved Yeon Jeok-ha who was dying.’ After that, she became a member of Sanchae, and that’s how it is now.
Just knowing this situation is worth staying in Sanchae. At one point, I thought an unprecedented giant horse had been born and even blamed the Jade Emperor.
I didn’t tell Sangmucheon, but I stayed in the mountain village to lead him to a better direction even a little. Even though I knew there was no need to do that, I didn’t leave because of my own greed.
The final stage of Taegeuk Hyegeom is the Samgeuk Yeondong.
I thought I could get the clue if I was next to a master like Yeonjeokha.
“I remember Sohyeop saying something like that once. He said he draws pictures with black ink. Do you remember?”
“That’s what it was.”
“It’s been exactly thirty years since Bin-do began practicing the Taegeuk Hye-geom. But no matter what I do, the three poles don’t seem to connect.”
“But?”
I couldn’t understand why the merchant I was dating was saying such things.
“You might be wondering why I’m saying this to someone who has no relation to the independent party.”
“You know very well.”
“To be honest, I would like to hear advice from Sohyeop about the three-way linkage.”
Even though they had become close, Cheonjisangin did not hide his feelings.
“Huh? I don’t even know what a triad or a linkage is?”
“Isn’t it said that the end of learning without teaching is the same? When Bindo said that Sohyeop ‘draws pictures with black ink,’ I felt something special. I don’t know if it was Bindo’s illusion, but Sohyeop and Bindo’s learning without teaching seem similar.”
“aha.”
I understood what the merchant of heaven and earth was saying.
Because at the time, I felt similarly.
The forms of the Taegeuk sword and the Yonghyeongdogi are different, but aren’t their essences similar?
“Of course, I can’t just do good things for Bindo. If Sohyeop gives Bindo advice, Bindo will fill in what Sohyeop lacks.”
“What’s missing?”
A smile appeared on the corner of the merchant’s mouth.
For some reason, this outstanding boy lacked understanding of martial arts in general. That’s why he must have used the Taegeuk Hye Sword, the best sword in the world, to counter it with something like the Hangmado method. Cheonjisangin intended to fill that gap while they were together.
“Considering the frequency, Yeon So-hyeop needs to understand the basics of martial arts. Doesn’t Yeon So-hyeop know almost nothing other than the martial arts he has learned?”
“There is that tendency.”
“If you learn the basics of martial arts, your martial arts skills will also deepen.”
Yeonjeok, who had been thinking for a moment, nodded readily.
It was definitely a mutually beneficial thing.
***
The speech of the eastern part of Luoyang.
Waryongjang.
The large smokehouse on one side of the house was filled with members of the Yeon clan for the first time in a while. It was an event held exclusively for the Yeon clan in preparation for the opening of Waryongjang.
The purpose of the event is, of course, a demonstration of the Gucheon Sword.
The elders of the Yeon clan, sitting in specially prepared seats, looked at the training ground with slightly excited expressions.
In the middle of the training ground, Yeonmu Baek and Yeonseung Baek stand.
The elders have high expectations for Yeonmu Baek, who returned from training at Namgung Sega. This is because he has refined the Nine Heaven Sword to the highest level among the Yeon clan.
After a while, Yeonmu Baek, the head of the Waryongjang clan and the ambassador’s wife, bowed her head to the elders.
A pleased smile spread across Baek Mi-ju’s face as she sat next to the elders.
Tomorrow, Waryongjang will open its doors to accept outsiders as disciples. This will be the first step towards becoming a martial arts master that he has dreamed of for a long time.
The current achievement of Yeonmu Baek is a whopping seven stars.
Although she did not reach the level of her dead husband, she was still good enough to be called a master.
Yeonmu Baek and Yeonseung Baek stood side by side and quickly performed the nine thousand world laws from the first to the last.
The elders nodded their heads repeatedly at the demonstration of martial arts by the two brothers.
After the demonstration of the Nine Thousand Laws was over, the brothers entered into the promised retreat.
A splendid battle of wits unfolded based on the movements of the Nine Thousand Laws.
Chachachang. Window.
The two swords clashed and fell apart dozens of times.
Because it is a sword dance that has been coordinated in advance, it looks like two brothers are dancing facing each other.
As time passed, the difference in aerodynamics between the two became apparent.
Unlike Yeonmu Baek, who didn’t even lose his breath, Yeonseung Baek’s shoulders shook and he exhaled roughly.
Fortunately, the fight ended shortly thereafter.
The role of the second son, Yeon Seung-baek, ended there.
As Yeon Seung-baek entered the audience, Yeon Mu-baek stood tall in the center of the performance hall.
“I have gained some insight over the years. I would like to take this opportunity to share it with you, elders.”
Then Yeonmu Baek drew his sword with a cautious expression.
The sword pointed towards the ground.
Among the elders who had seen the ceremony, a soft voice was heard asking, “Will we be able to do it?”
Yeonmu Baek calmly raised the power of the Heavenly Dragon Musang Shingong.
Cheonryong Musangsingong is a secret technique that the ancestors of Yeonsi, who lost the Hyeonnyeo Gyeong, found in the new world. Fortunately, the power of Cheonryong Musangsingong and the nine heavenly laws are well-matched, and it is now treated as a traditional martial art.
Jiiing-.
As the power of the Heavenly Dragon Musang Shingong was injected, the sword body trembled slightly.
Yeonmu Baek thought of the Seven Eighteen Ways of the Nine Heavenly Laws, ‘Yongjo Haji.’
The insight he gained during his recent trials is called mental image.
I pictured in my mind the image of a giant dragon’s claws tearing through the earth.
Where the heart goes, energy flows.
The tip of the sword drew a curve above his head and fell down like lightning.
Kwakwakwak.
Three long streams of wind shot out from the tip of the sword and cut through the floor of the training ground.
“Ohhh!”
The elders forgot their dignity and jumped up from their seats and shouted.
It gives me goosebumps to see the faint traces of sword wind left on the training ground.
Ambition also burned brightly in Baek Mi-ju’s eyes.
This happened the day before the prestigious Waryongjang school opened its doors.
Wuxia,
