Episode 295 While drinking,
Lim So-baek asked me what I was up to.
I wondered how I was feeling these days, what I was thinking, who I was fighting with…
Because there was alcohol, the conversation got mixed up.
A few times in between, the special forces came and said they would guide us to the lodgings, and then they each took a drink from the leader and disappeared somewhere.
Now that I think about it, Master Lim So-baek was a man who listened very well to other people’s stories.
I listened to the demon’s story about the revenge of the Six Gates, and from the color demon, I heard the story about the Wind Cloud Dreamer.
But not all of our stories appeared.
The Sword Demon also never told the leader about his personal story.
In a way, there are few people in the world with stories as eventful as the Murim lord, but Lim So-baek also did not tell his story in detail.
No matter how much alcohol you drink, you can’t reveal your true feelings.
It was around this time that I forgot how many times I drank alcohol.
I asked Lim Sobaek something I was curious about.
“Senior Maengju.”
“huh?”
“Tell me about the six combat swords.”
“Luxury bayonet.”
Suddenly, Lim So-baek, with an unreadable expression on his face, chanted again.
“Yukjeon Daegeom….”
Is it possible for a person’s expression to change like this at the word Yukjeon Daegeom?
In short, there was regret on his face. Maengju also seemed to have a lot of emotions in his six battle swords. Not only me, but this time the Sword Demon also looked at Lin Xiaobaek as if he was listening.
After all, swordsmen are not good at talking about swordsmanship.
Lim Sobaek asked me.
“How much do you know about the six combat swords?”
“The sword corps led by the senior was a military corps.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“The difference between sword belt and squadron is simply expression. At that time, if there were many people who did not use swords, they were called squadrons. There were classmates and juniors who had been with me since I was young. I had friends and there were people I hated. There was also a crew member who followed me particularly well. There was also a guy who rebelled against everything. The leader of the Demonic Cult’s squadron and the leader at the time met under the condition of limiting the number of people, and we assisted in the meeting with escorts and miscellaneous duties. Do you know why we met?”
Lim Sobaek looked at the sword demon.
The Sword Demon answered.
“To determine who is the best in the world?”
“That was a superficial reason.”
Lim Sobaek continued.
“The main purpose was to negotiate to exchange the demonic cultists who were imprisoned in prison and the demonic cultists planted by the Murim League. As soon as we met, we couldn’t even bring up negotiations. They said they already killed them all. At that time, the former leader ordered a retreat. You decided that there was nothing to be gained since the negotiations had collapsed. Even though the number of people was initially limited, the chase began. Even as I ran away, I felt strange. Just see the end. Why are you leaving? I only found out after we caught up and confronted each other. The inaction of the masters led by the religious leader far exceeded expectations. The leader told us. They are the masters of the old headquarters, so don’t fight them and step down. “Do you know?”
The Sword Demon answered.
“Ghosts of the old headquarters. There are also masters. They are excellent at martial arts but have poor social skills. There are also people who think that they are not suitable for the position of religious leader. The side effects of magic effects even affect one’s mind, so one cannot be considered a normal person. “If the ghosts come out, we have no choice but to be annihilated.”
The Sword Demon spoke in a definitive tone.
Lim Sobaek asked.
“Tell me a little more about the ghost.”
“The old headquarters is a bit of a strange place. People who have committed a crime are sent into exile, and at the same time, they are sent to learn martial arts, but if the ghosts don’t like it, whether it’s exile or something else, they beat them to death. Well, when you are officially ordered to return home, you have to go there feeling like you are being dragged to hell. The religious leader is not greatly involved in what happens there. “Whether I die or not.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“From what I remember, it wasn’t all that strange. It seems that there were also people who had retired from high-ranking positions. At the time, the Lord’s nickname was ‘God’s Sword’ without any special modifiers, but the sword broke while killing ghosts. At that time, the religious leader was also killed by the leader. I thought the chase was over now that the cult leader was dead. “I retreated while escorting the seriously injured lord, and continued to compete with ghosts who were not yet dead. It was difficult for me to come to my senses.”
The color demon said.
“The leader of the squadron was also amazing.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“The crew members died while carrying the leader on their backs. It seemed like the leader would soon die while taking care of the crew. In fact, the leader I served became the best person in the world from the moment he killed the religious leader, but that person, the best person in the world, was wandering through death on my back.”
As Lim So-baek held the glass, Saek Ma quietly poured the drink.
Lim Sobaek spoke after drinking.
“The crew told me to quickly take the leader to a safe place. I asked the crew while carrying the leader. What will you do? I remember Gyeongcheon’s words at that time, when he was good at telling jokes. Lord, aren’t we the best in the world? Go quickly. I knew then that circumstances can break the spirit. Since my light attack was the fastest, it was right for me to carry him. It wasn’t bad to die along with the crew, but I had no choice but to run with my leader on my back. While I was running, I kept thinking about the land squad disappearing. The Army Corps is disappearing like this. I’m the leader, but you’re just running away like this. “At the moment when I was about to lose my temper, the leader who was riding on my back said to me.”
Lim So-baek recited the words of the leader at the time.
“Sobaek, put me down. “I have to fight more.”
Lim Sobaek nodded and continued speaking.
“At that time, I did something called protest. Maengju was this kind of person. In that case, it is right for me to keep running and save her. In the end, I saved the Lord and lost the Army at the same time.”
Lim Sobaek looked at me.
“There are no grassroots rules for the land battle sword, nor are there any great rules. It is just a general term for the martial arts I have learned. It’s nothing more than naming people and moments I won’t forget. On the contrary, if that memory is what made me stronger, then the name of the arm sword technique should be Yukjeon Daegeom.”
Lim So-baek finished speaking with an unwavering expression.
It was a story I couldn’t listen to without drinking, so I drank too.
As I was drinking and thinking about it, I realized that this Yukjeon Daegeom was a martial art in the same spot as Jahashingong.
It wasn’t the time to bring up my story, so I kept it to myself.
The Sword Demon nodded.
“That’s how martial arts was born.”
It seemed as if Geomma had resolved the question of what was the source of the martial arts that defeated him.
The devil asked as if he was curious.
“Have you been practicing martial arts very hard since then?”
Lim Sobaek laughed at this simple question.
“Mong Lang.”
“yes.”
“I always trained hard.”
“Oh yeah.”
Suddenly, Sobaek Lim looked at me and me and said this.
“You two may not believe it, but I was probably weaker than you both when I was your age. “It’s not me who is strange, but the two young people who are strange.”
The devil scratched his head.
“That’s too much praise.”
“It wasn’t really a compliment.”
“yes.”
While listening to the story, I asked Maengju.
“Maybe in that chase team.”
“….”
“Is there a religious leader now?”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“Of course. There was. He lost his father, the leader of the squadron cult, and I lost a member. They’re starting to fight over the successor. We were in an emergency situation until our leader recovered. I probably started hearing the nickname Geomma occasionally from then on. “Aneman is said to have intervened in the struggle for succession.”
The Sword Demon who was listening to the story quietly nodded.
“The leader was a pretty cool guy back then.”
Lim Sobaek asked.
“now?”
“It seems like even that has been thrown away.”
“I see.”
Suddenly, Lim So-baek grabbed the sword lying on the table, went to the front of the guesthouse, and turned around. Lim Sobaek looked around at us and said.
“I tried to teach the martial arts sword technique several times, but I found out that it was actually an impossible sword technique to teach. But you can take a look. If you have something to gain, take it to your heart’s content. “This is the six battle sword.”
Lim So-baek raised his sword vertically and then spoke.
“I won’t mix up your internal skills, so you can figure it out yourself.”
Was Maengju drunk?
Lim So-baek unfolded his six-handed sword in front of us. I was curious about how the sword technique worked, so I straightened my stance.
Lim Sobaek swung his sword like the owner of a famous military officer in the neighborhood.
Hitting, cutting and stabbing.
He gathered onlookers and moved from right to left in a motion that looked like he was cutting an apple thrown in the air.
As I lived, I even got to see the master’s swordsmanship demonstration.
Lim So-baek’s simple swinging movements began to change, but these were not very cool movements. Bow down and swing, hit and stab. Spin around, cut, stab, and hit. At the end, he unfolded something like a sword, and it seemed like he knew exactly where the sword started and where it arrived, so the movements were so simple and disciplined that nothing needed to be added or subtracted.
Lim So-baek asked as he walked back to his original spot.
“Did you see it?”
We looked at each other, and since it was funny to compliment each other in particular, we nodded or gave short answers.
“yes.”
In fact, it was a movement without any inspiration.
Lim So-baek, who returned to his original position, smiled slightly as if he had anticipated our reaction and said this.
“You know I showed it slowly.”
The devil answered.
“That’s right.”
Lim So-baek raised his sword vertically in the same posture as before and spoke in a slightly different tone.
“I will move as if I were going to fight. “There is still no inner strength.”
As soon as Lim Sobaek finished speaking, he moved like a gale from left to right. In that gale, all of the previous movements that were slowly unfolded were contained. Hitting, cutting, stabbing, bending, swinging, slashing, stabbing, spinning, repeating, and in the end, it all ends.
A sword wind spread out ahead, where there was nothing.
Lim Sobaek looked back at us.
“saw?”
“yes.”
Looking at it this way, it looked like just one attack. Lim Sobaek, who was looking at my expression, asked me.
“How do you feel?”
I tasted it and answered honestly as I felt.
“It looks like a single sword.”
“You mean it appears to be a single attack?”
Lin Sobaek nodded and then asked the color demon.
“What about Montlang?”
“I don’t know. “I just feel like it’s too fast.”
Lin Xiaobai nodded again and looked at the demon.
“What about you?”
The demon answered.
“I don’t know. That sounds great, but I don’t know what this means.”
Lin Xiaobaek looked at the sword demon.
The Sword Demon asked with a shocked expression.
“Lord.”
“Say it.”
“Did you just swing it at random? “With an imaginary enemy.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“I swung it around recklessly. Because I don’t know how the opponent will come out. “It was a rough swing.”
The Sword Demon asked.
“You mean you can sustain this from the beginning to the end of the fight?”
Lim Sobaek shook his head.
“It’s not Yuji. By changing this from start to finish, you can unfold faster and stronger than before. We’re talking about internal strength now. Just remember the sword method. How are you going to stop this, especially if I appear as your enemy? Starting from there will help each person practicing martial arts now.”
I had this thought in my head.
Most people will die with one sword, right?
Anticipating the opponent’s reaction and attacking appropriately to that prediction were being made at the same time. Of course, the movement was divided into several parts, but the anticipation and attack combined into one process seemed like a single sword. In addition, the last part of the sword would contain the strange method of overlapping swords that had been shown at the mountain lodge.
Since I am the type of person who doesn’t say things back, I asked Lim So-baek.
“Senior Lord Lord, do you have any enemies in your time?”
Lim Sobaek answered as he returned to his seat.
“there is. “There are a lot.”
“Who?”
“There will be Samjaes, kings, and surviving ghosts. There are also masters who have never been involved. There are poisonous people and there are traitorous people. As you grow further, one day you won’t be able to guarantee victory. The person I thought was my master was seriously injured as soon as he became the best in the world. What good is being the best in the world? People are bound to get old, and even their well-trained bodies are bound to get stuck. Everyone, please don’t neglect your training. “You are also my enemies.”
“hmm.”
“I think the former leader also thought of himself as the best in the world. Look at the results of that arrogance. “The next cult leader is dreaming of revenge, and I, buried in a sense of loss for what I lost then, am leading the charge like this.”
Lim So-baek grabbed the glass.
“It’s a hard life in one way or another.”
I personally poured a drink for Maengju, who was tired from the years. I got up and poured drinks for the Sword Demon, Demon Demon, and Color Demon, and filled my glass with the remaining alcohol.
In the middle of the night, Lim So-baek gave us a good word.
“…Luckily, the second son of the Wind Cloud Dreamer became this strong thanks to the Sword Demon. Young Munju has become so strong that it is difficult to find a rival among his peers. When the old people are pushed out, two people have to suffer. okay? Don’t run away somewhere deep in the mountains. “I will send someone to pull you out.”
Lim So-baek looked at the demon.
“I want you to create a sect like the Yukhemun.”
Our Four Great Villains raised their glasses and looked at Lin Xiaobai. There was no need to answer because they had taken Lin Xiaobai’s words to heart.
I poured alcohol down my throat.
