Episode 447: Yellow Dragon, Thunder God, Golden Light Jincheon, Hanwol Night.
Geomma and Cha Seong-tae sat side by side and looked at the carriage. Since it was a carriage I had never seen before in Ilyang County, I had no choice but to check who was getting off.
But no one got out of the carriage.
Instead, the two horsemen holding the reins came straight to Jaha Gaekjan and looked at the sword horse.
“I came from the Murim Alliance.”
Seongtae Cha asked.
“What brings you here?”
“Confucius Mong, who was challenging to become the next Murim lord, was nominated as the successor to current lord Lim Sobaek in a private meeting. There will be a retirement ceremony and an inauguration ceremony, and Prince Meng has sent a carriage to invite Master. “There is still plenty of time, so just finish your preparations at any time and we will meet you.”
Cha Seong-tae smiled brightly and looked at Geomma.
“Master?”
The Sword Demon asked Mengwon.
“Have you eaten?”
The members responded.
“You can do it now.”
The Sword Demon pointed to Jaha Guest Cup.
“It’s Hao Wen-ju’s guest house, so you’re doing it here.”
“All right.”
As the members entered Jaha Guesthouse, Cha Seong-tae spoke.
“How are you feeling, Master?”
The Sword Demon said while looking at the carriage.
“What a character there is.”
“Master, you’re a person at the level of Confucius. In fact, at that age, there are no opponents except for our Lord Moon.”
“Commissioner Cha.”
“yes.”
“Becoming a lord is something to be celebrated, but it is also true that there is no character. If Mongrang became the leader, it would have been a perfect fit since the third child would receive support from the outside world. “Strategically.”
“Yes, of course.”
“It is my guess, but if Mong Lang had been defeated by someone, Master Lim would have eventually asked the third child to participate in a private military meeting. Then the third one will respond well from outside of Mongrang. “That combination is not bad either.”
“you’re right. That’s right. That is also true, but….”
Cha Seong-tae sighed and said this to Geomma.
“If you heard something good, smile a little. Now smile. Widely….”
“….”
“I’m sorry.”
The unsmiling Sword Demon said.
“Please prepare me a set of clothes to wear to the Murim Alliance.”
“All right. “I will prepare it and bring it to you right away.”
The Sword Demon remained alone and stared at the Murim League’s carriage. I naturally imagined Mongrang standing alone around the carriage as the masters fighting each other to become the next leader, and it also reminded me of Mongrang returning home very drunk. At that time, there were a lot of young people lying around who had been hit by a group of people.
Because the fight wasn’t that surprising, the Sword Demon’s expression didn’t change in the end.
The Sword Demon looked at the carriage and suddenly muttered to himself.
“…Congratulations on your retirement, Lord Lim.”
Even in the Sword Demon’s opinion, Lim Sobaek was a great leader. Since he was a man who had somehow survived the magic island and Lim So-baek the white island, he wanted to congratulate Lim So-baek more happily than anyone else on his retirement.
…“Mr. Yukhap, I will challenge you.”
As a young man appeared from among the onlookers, a demon with a bushy beard nodded.
“Good.”
The demon asked this as soon as he checked the young man’s attire.
“Are you okay? “I think he’s on a mission.”
The young man introduced himself politely.
“it’s okay. It is called the wallpaper index. i look forward to.”
The demon placed a flag next to the chair that said “Jongnam’s Best Sword” and stood up and threw the wooden sword at Byeok Ji-su.
Byeok Ji-su grabbed the wooden sword and turned his wrist.
If the demon’s flag is intact, it means that it has not yet been defeated in Jongnam.
Byeok Ji-soo said while looking at the words written on the flag.
“I will check to see if Teacher Yukhap is the Jongnam First Sword.”
The demon laughed.
“Sure.”
As the ghost looked around, the people who were now accustomed to seeing the rain at the foot of Jongnam Mountain widened their distance even further. Because gambling on the outcome of the competition was prohibited by Mr. Yukhap, no one did the foolish thing of taking out small amounts of money to bet.
In the standoff, the demon looked at Byeok Ji-su blankly.
He was only the third or fourth in age, and his skills were far below his standards. But how can we look down on a young warrior just because he is weak now? Although he was stronger in martial arts, his attitude towards fighting was serious.
The demon gave up the first strike in a calm tone.
“Come first.”
Byeok Ji-su began to attack, swinging his wooden sword. The ghost struck back at Byeok Ji-soo’s wooden sword in an accepting manner, and counterattacked appropriately whenever it found an opening.
Byeok Ji-soo attacked using all the techniques he had learned so far, but was unable to find a loophole in Master Yuk-hap. But I didn’t challenge to win in the first place. Because I took on the challenge with the mindset of wanting to learn, I continued my offense and defense smoothly without wavering.
As Byeok Ji-soo continued to attack in a calm manner, the demon also smiled slightly.
‘good night.’
If I had raised my strength right now, I could have taken him down in one hit, but out of consideration for him to gain experience, I dealt with him for quite a while.
The Demon Demon, who was exchanging offense and defense, spoke softly when he saw an opening.
“waist.”
Byeok Ji-su, who was aware that his waist was largely empty, was startled and hurriedly dodged to the left, and the demon that followed the path of the wooden sword lightly struck Byeok Ji-su’s wrist.
Byeok Ji-soo’s wooden sword fell with a thud sound.
When Mr. Yukhap stopped attacking, Byeok Ji-su picked up the wooden sword and then politely showed his courtesy.
“I lost. Seniors.”
The demon also nodded.
“It was good that you remained calm throughout.”
“I was a little embarrassed at the end.”
“That’s it. “It will gradually get better.”
Byeok Ji-soo came closer and held out a wooden sword, and the demon received it. Byeok Ji-soo opened his mouth.
“My younger brother, Prince Mong, has been decided as the successor to Lord Lim Sobaek. As Master Lim’s retirement and Confucius Mong’s inauguration ceremony were scheduled to take place, I was looking for Teacher Yukhap at Jongnam Mountain. “I apologize for challenging you before conveying the mission.”
The Demon Demon, quite surprised, nodded.
“It’s nothing to apologize for. By the way, Mongrang, the Murim lord?”
“yes. It is said that there was no one who could compete with him. Would you like to come with me?”
The demon nodded.
“let’s go. “I’d like to see the Lord’s retirement ceremony…”
“Let’s go.”
Gwima, who was taking the wooden sword and flag, said this to Byeok Ji-su, who was waiting.
“The swordsmanship that I am currently practicing at Jongnam Mountain contains the teachings of Master Lim. In my heart, I think that Master Lim is also my master. “I still vividly remember the swordsmanship you showed me at Dongho.”
Byeok Ji-soo answered.
“Is that so? So do i.”
“let’s go. “Are you on the uninhabited island of Dongho?”
“sure.”
“Let’s talk as we go.”
The demon, who was concentrating on training while wandering around Jongnam Mountain, smiled for the first time in a very long time.
…“I think Munju would be a really suitable place. As you said, isn’t the surrounding area very desolate? “I don’t see a single old tree.”
After listening to the words of Young Chunja, the best person in Fujian, I looked around.
“Yes, but…”
The wilderness itself was wide.
While heading to the Murim Alliance, Youngchunja really persistently expressed his intention to take on the challenge.
As I stood still, Youngchunja walked to a wide area first, took a seat, and looked in my direction.
“About this? “How about it?”
I was going to refuse because it was annoying, but there was nothing I could do if it came out like this.
“Let’s do that.”
Only then did Young Chunja smile brightly and say this to me.
“Munju, I sincerely ask you to do so. I don’t care if one arm of this wretched body falls off. Do your best and compete. Really. If you roughly look at my level and fight against me appropriately, and I lose, it won’t be helpful for the next training. I have always found the joy of training and a clear purpose in the midst of helpless defeat. Please. “With all my might.”
I made the bald heads around me move further away with a wave of my hand.
“That’s a bit difficult. “It doesn’t make sense to give it your all.”
How on earth does Wing Chun judge my skills?
In fact, now I am in a state where I cannot give my best.
Youngchunja spoke as if he would not compromise on martial arts.
“I’m sorry for asking you like a brat. Actually, it doesn’t matter if I die from being hit by Munju. “I lived my whole life as a strong person, so dying like this is not a bad thing.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s amazing. “You don’t care if I die?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
In front of me, there was a monkey who was crazy about martial arts and was scolding me. I passed by Wing Chunja with a hearty smile.
“You can’t just kill the branch leader.”
“Where are you going?”
“We need to increase the distance.”
I turned away from the rest of the group. The light monk and the bald man were sitting side by side, looking this way.
I spoke so low that I couldn’t even hear my voice.
“Young Chun-ja, do you have any regrets?”
“I have no regrets.”
“good.”
I haven’t exerted myself since I came down from the volcano. That’s why I’m curious about my power. While confronting Wing Chunja, I increased my energy throughout my body.
As the writhing energy enveloped my entire body, an air current as if caught in a storm enveloped my entire body. Then, the ground where my feet were standing began to shake slightly, and the small stones around me moved mysteriously.
I stretched out my right hand and used the Heavenly Jade Absorbing Great Technique to immediately pull out the shaking dirt and stones around me. In an instant, yellow dust was rising from the surrounding area.
thud!
Heaven and earth dyed yellow.
In the dust, I drew a large circle while wearing a gold self-defense tool and unfolding the Amhyangpyo.
“Yellow Dragon (黃龍).”
When the curve made of lines completed a circle, the middle moved to the arc of the wave, completing Taegeuk and soaring.
In the yellow dust rising more loudly.
The brain energy of a hundred battles and ten stages exploded from all over the body, scattering in all directions.
“Thunder God.”
A white beam of light stretched out like a spider web among the yellow dust. When he arrived on the ground, the place where he stepped became hollow and he burst out again, chanting.
“Geumnoejincheon(金雷振天).”
By combining the energy of the gold sphere and the energy of the brain, it made a loud noise and was released in a reverse taegeuk and sprayed into the air.
As soon as I arrived back on the ground, I stretched out both hands in the air and caught the flying things in an instant.
“A cold moon night.”
Using the Heavenly Jade Absorbing Great Technique, he pulled in the fluttering Hanwolya and condensed it into his two hands, then destroyed it with the arrival of the Five Element Tension. With a single wave of my hand, I blew away all the miscellaneous dust floating in the sky.
Only then did the dust disappear from the place where Youngchunja had confronted him, and a clear sky appeared in his sight. Suddenly, I looked down and saw that Fujian’s best, Young Chunja, had stopped in the same place where he had first stood and was looking at me.
“….”
I asked as I approached Wing Chunja.
“Youngchunja.”
Young Chunja answered.
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
“How was it?”
“This Wing Chun student has also been practicing martial arts for quite some time, but today his eyes opened anew.”
“Well, that’s it.”
I spoke after shaking hands with Young Chunja.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
“Of all the branch leaders, I like you Youngchunja the most. “A man should be like this.”
“Fortunately, the. By the way, does Kangho have any opponents now?”
“Isn’t there one? Probably not. “It would be nice to have it.”
“Since when have you been gone?”
“Ever since I came down from the volcano.”
“When did you come down?”
“Not long ago.”
The bald group from behind got up again and joined us. Young Chunja asked as if he was curious.
“That question…”
“Tell me.”
“It seems that all martial arts such as the Yellow Dragon, Thunder God, Geumnoe Jincheon, and Hanwolya are the Master’s seasons, right?”
I shook my head.
“it is not so. The Yellow Dragon, Thunder God, Geumnoejincheon, and Hanwolya are nothing. It’s just something I said out of excitement. It’s not even a season, it’s just a word that has been thrown around roughly. A word attached. “There are separate seasons.”
Youngchunja smiled dryly.
“Oh, is that so? haha. “What are some examples?”
I whispered into Wing Chunja’s ear so the other bald heads wouldn’t hear.
“For example, the Sun and Moon Light Spring….”
“The power must be incredible.”
“Actually, I can’t demonstrate the sun and moon spring because it is the season when nothing is left. “Completely disappear.”
“It seems to be somewhat similar to Jinreojincheon. How can I stop it?”
“Perhaps, if all the 100 great masters except me get together and pour out their swords at the same time, there is a chance that we can stop it.”
Looking at Youngchunja, Youngchunja forced a smile.
“You’re wonderful.”
“It was nothing.”
There was a time when Sun and Moon Gwangcheon was nothing, but now things have changed again. Now, Sun-Wol-Gwangcheon has become a season where nothing is left, so demonstrations can no longer be held.
Because I have become stronger.
A man who goes back and forth and then goes back on what I said.
That’s because it’s me.
Young Chunja said.
“I feel a little sorry for who the new Murim Lord is.”
“Well, it’s pitiful. I’m not going to beat you up. “Don’t worry, we will deal with each other politely.”
I tapped Youngchunja on the shoulder and then nodded.
“Go and call Yeonguksa Temple. “I need to get another history lesson from the smart Yeonguksa.”
“yes.”
As soon as Yeonguksa came after his shift, I put my arm around him.
“Let’s go to Yeonguksa Temple.”
Yeonguksa briefly answered.
“yes.”
“Has your head gotten used to it?”
Master Yeonguk nodded.
“It’s cool now. “I just wonder how I managed to go around with that long hair for so long.”
I stroked Yeonguksa Temple’s head.
“Good. “Let’s go.”
“yes.”
I was a bit puzzled by how polite the bald heads had become.
“Is there another interesting anecdote? “Today, let’s listen to the story of a certain military leader from a certain country.”
Master Yeonguk took a deep breath and answered.
“Today, I will tell you an anecdote from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.”
“The Warring States Period is good. “Is everyone okay?”
The bald heads chorused.
“great.”
I nodded with a happy heart. Yeonguksa was a person who studied a lot, so there was a lot to learn.
