< Episode 54 Peak (2) >
Mok Gyeong-un follows Amjong’s unmanned figure to Naeseong’s main building.
Not long after a young man with a gombangdae in his mouth flew to his side.
She said this to Mok Gyeong-un.
-hey. rebirth. I delivered it to that guy.
-thank you.
Mok Gyeong-un sent her Jeon-eum to her.
Since it was impossible to go right away he sent a messenger and ordered Go Chan who had possessed the body of Jang Neung-ak the second disciple of Hoe Ju to send someone to Baek Sa-ha King of Seomdok instead.
Cheongnyeong clicked her tongue and said.
-Anyway when it comes to revenge there is no difference.
In fact when Mo Gyeong-un had the opportunity to meet Hui-ju he did not hesitate to postpone his plan to visit Baek Sa-ha to ask him to persuade Sun Yun King of Mingdo.
In response Cheongryeong stepped forward and said that he would deliver it through a high praise.
Mok Gyeong-un responded casually to her reprimand.
-The opportunity to see the show won’t come easily.
-joy. Because your mind is somewhere else your judgment becomes clouded.
-She was able to do it because Cheongnyeong helped her.
-What happens? Tsk tsk. By the way what do you think you can do if you meet Hoeju right now?
-well.
– Arthur. rebirth. No matter how ill he is he is the pinnacle of the martial arts of the time. Do you think you can get the answer you want from a guy like that right away?
The purpose of tree cultivation was one.
Through the lecture I heard about the connection with the ghost sword and his personal identity.
Of course Mok Gyeong-un also did not think that this was possible right away.
However I couldn’t miss this opportunity because it would allow me to gauge what kind of person Hoeju is and how strong he is.
‘The peak…’
Yukcheon (六天) said to be the pinnacle of contemporary martial arts.
Hoeju was one of those six thousand people.
The clues for revenge were the same but I was definitely curious.
Among the numerous martial arts people the person who is said to be the best master of the peak master will be far apart from himself.
Cheongryeong spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
-Rebirth.
-yes.
-Just give me a clear warning this time. If as I expect Yukcheon the pinnacle of the current martial arts world has surpassed the wall he should never be provoked.
-Are you very concerned?
-Do you know what it means to go beyond the walls of walls?
-well?
-It is called Hyeongyeong (玄境). Hyeon means sky or supreme. You have reached the highest unreachable realm.
-Unreachable…area.
-okay. Of course your current level is also a level that most martial artists cannot even dream of. However Hyeon-kyung takes a completely different route.
Mok Kyung-un’s eyes narrowed at her words.
Judging from the fact that she warned to this extent it seemed that this level of enlightenment had unimaginable power in martial arts.
I didn’t know if I should relax.
Not long after moving like that Mok Gyeong-un arrived in front of the main building of the castle following Amjong Mu-in.
I thought I was going to go inside.
-Chaeng!
Two unmanned men guarding the entrance to the main building crossed and blocked the window.
Mokgyeongun was puzzled by this and asked Amjong’s military officer.
“Didn’t I tell you to come to the main building?”
“The sect definitely said so.”
Amjong’s military officer also looked puzzled as if he didn’t understand why.
In response Mokgyeongun put his hands together and made a bow and said.
“excuse me. My name is Mok Gyeong-un and I am a disciple of Amjongju. “Now we…”
“Are you a disciple of Lord Amjong?”
Before Mok Gyeong-un could finish speaking one of the warriors guarding the entrance to the main building asked.
“yes. “Yes.”
“I was waiting. “Follow me.”
Fortunately there was no mistake.
After completing the tour the female servant of Amjong said hello and left.
Mok Gyeong-un followed the warrior guarding the entrance into the main building.
however
‘huh?’
Why go down the hallway instead of going upstairs?
I knew that the main building of the inner castle was the largest in Cheonjihoe but it seemed bigger than I expected considering the long corridors leading to it.
The unmanned person who was walking down the hallway turned to the right and led the way to a passage that seemed to lead outside.
As we entered there a very large space appeared.
‘Where?’
There were numerous weapons and training tools here and there.
It looked like a training ground.
What was unusual was that it was blocked on all sides by thick walls making it seem like no one could enter or leave.
However one of Mo Gyeong-un’s eyebrows rose slightly.
He naturally assumed that they would lead him to the place where Amjongju and Hoeju were located.
However the people waiting here were not them but young men who appeared to be in their mid to late twenties.
A tall young man who appeared to be in his mid-twenties and wearing a red leather belt was sitting sedentary while another man a young man in his late twenties with thick muscles was leaning against the wall and chewing something that looked like a dumpling.
Mok Gyeong-un asked this.
“Master I can’t see the Lord of the Cancer Clan?”
“I told you to wait here.”
“Amjongju?”
“no.”
“Then who?”
“It is the Lord’s command.”
‘Hoeju?’
Hoeju told you to wait here with them?
It was difficult to guess what the English sentence was.
While I was puzzled the military officer guarding the entrance left as if his business was over.
It was a truly strange situation.
It would be better to tell them to be alone or they would ask them to wait with strangers without any introduction.
‘Hmm.’
Since I don’t know what’s going on I have no choice but to wait.
As I was doing this a young man who appeared to be in his late twenties who was leaning against the wall and eating dango approached me and said.
“Hey. “He must be a disciple of the famous female sect master.”
“….”
Mo Qingyun looked at him silently.
Then a young man in his late twenties held out a skewer with a dango on it and said
“Do you want to eat?”
“I decline.”
Mo Kyung-yun shook his head lightly.
Then he laughed and pointed at the young man sitting upright with his eyes closed with his thumb and said as if he did not like it.
“Still unlike that guy I think I can communicate.”
“Who are you?”
“me? Or that guy?”
“Either way.”
If possible I would appreciate it if you could tell me both.
But the young man shrugged his shoulders and pointed at himself with his thumb.
“This is Nyeopchun the third guard of the main building.”
“Head of the main body guard?”
His introduction caught Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
This was information I heard from Lee Ji-yeom the head of Sihyeolgok not the head of Amjong.
[The main building is the place with the most troops in the inner fortress.]
[Is it because there is a hoeju?]
[Because your congregation is the center of the heaven and earth assembly.]
[okay. Do you know roughly what level it is?]
[It is difficult to grasp the hidden power but if we only count the revealed power the main building has three guards each made up of thirty men.]
[Thirties? In total there are only 90 people… It’s smaller than I thought.]
The number was smaller than expected.
Lee Ji-yeom said as if he knew Mok Kyung-un would react that way.
[It may seem that way at first glance but each and every one of them is an elite.]
[Elite?]
[yes. Even though they are called Dae (隊) each and every one of them is a master of the highest level and has the ability of an ordinary Daeju (隊) and the Daeju (隊) have the martial arts of a great master.]
[The escort lord is a great lord… so the gap is clear.]
[The four guardians are originally people who have no problem becoming great lords. ah. Come to think of it the most recently appointed third guard is from the Sihyeolgok Gate.]
[This place?]
[Yes. Thanks to his master that friend came to mind.]
[Thanks to me?]
[yes. Like his master eight years ago that friend also earned three gateway senior plaques and went on to become a senior.]
[Three? I guess I did well?]
It was very difficult to even obtain one of the Sihyeolgok Gate’s chief plaques.
Obtaining more than two was truly a special case.
Lee Ji-yeom spoke quite seriously in response to Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
[It’s not that good. Since he is quite an eccentric it would not be surprising if he gave up a few gates and received all the senior cards if he had made up his mind.]
[Are you someone who wouldn’t be surprised if I received everything?]
[You stopped at that level because you gave up on your own but that friend’s talent is definitely at a level where he can be called a genius.]
[Hmm. That’s interesting. What is that friend’s name?]
[This is Seopchun. I understand that he also belongs to the Five Tigers which are said to be the most outstanding reviewers in the society.]
Recalling the conversation she had with Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom Mok Gyeong-un’s Lee Chae looked at the face of Seop-chun the third guard of the main building with tinged eyes.
As a Sihyeolgokju there were only two people whom Lee Ji-yeom praised for their military merits.
One of them was the Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang and this person named Nyeop-chun.
“no. “This time the chief junior of the Sihyeolgok rider was staring at me so intently that I didn’t know what to do with myself.”
Seopchun said wrapping his arms around his muscular chest.
Seeing this Mok Gyeong-un sighed and laughed.
I didn’t know what kind of person he was because I only praised Mujae but he seemed to have a very outgoing and humorous personality.
Mok Gyeong-un who quickly glanced at him looked at the sword on his waist and wondered.
‘It looks light.’
It was in a pot but it seemed to be about four feet long.
However the sword itself seemed to be very light as even the sword house seemed quite thin.
Seopchun said perhaps feeling Mok Gyeong-un’s gaze.
“iced coffee. “I guess he’s a disciple of the Master of the Amjong so he’s very interested in the Tao.”
“Many muscular people carry light swords.”
“Do you have a good eye for attention?”
“Even if you don’t have a sharp eye it looks that way.”
-Sreung!
As soon as Mo Kyung-un finished speaking Tao came out of the Taoist house.
As expected the sword looked quite thin and light.
There was even a fluttering feeling.
However despite its lightness you could tell that it was not an ordinary sword by looking at the subtle radiance flowing from the blade.
Mok Gyeong-un looked at Daosin and muttered.
“Gwangmu?”
The inside of the sharp blade had an engraving called Gwangmu (狂舞) engraved on it.
In response to Mo Gyeong-un’s mutterings Nie Chun bared his teeth and spoke.
“That’s this friend’s name.”
“This friend?”
“okay. To a thief the Tao is a friend that should remain with him for life. “Of course we are friends.”
“Is that so?”
“The reaction is less interesting than I thought. At best I even showed him my friend. But you are a disciple of the Lord Amjong… That is not the way.”
Nie Chun looked at the sword sheath on Mo Gyeong-un’s waist with a puzzled look and said.
Mok Kyung-un responded casually.
“Because it’s a gift from Master.”
“If you are the master are you the master of cancer?”
“yes.”
“That’s really unique. The Lord of the Amsong must have been a thief but he gifted a sword to his disciple? “Then I guess it’s an ordinary sword?”
“They said it was a pretty useful sword.”
“oh! okay? “What is that friend’s name?”
Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and answered Seop-chun’s attitude of continuously calling Byeong Jang-gi a friend.
“It is evil.”
“Evil…? “What?”
For a moment Nie Chun could not help but be surprised.
He wasn’t the only one surprised by this.
The tall-faced young man who had been sitting seiza with his eyes closed opened his eyes and frowned looking at Mo Kyung-un.
Their reaction was natural.
Regardless of whether they are a swordsman or a swordsman who among martial arts people does not know how to use an evil sword?
It was a magical sword made by the great general Gu Ya-ja.
Nie Chun said as if it was absurd.
“no. “Is that really an evil sword?”
“yes.”
“under!”
Seopchun clicked his tongue inwardly.
As far as he knew the sword was a masterpiece created by the master Gu Yaza but he knew it to be a weapon so cursed that it was called a magic sword.
You gave something so dangerous to your disciple?
No matter how great the sword was I couldn’t understand why they gave me such a risky sword.
Nie Chun asked.
“Is…is the sword okay?”
“Yes is there any problem?”
“Well don’t you feel like you’re losing energy or seeing things in vain?”
“You seem very worried.”
“no. Is there anything to worry about when we first met? “It’s only my first time seeing this sword but it seems like that sword is quite good but also very very dangerous…”
“Have you learned the sword?”
At that time someone interrupted.
He was a young man with a red belt sitting upright.
When the young man intervened Nie Chun the head of the third guard of the main building raised an eyebrow and said.
“Is this the guy who didn’t answer even if I spoke to him that much opens his mouth at the touch of a sword?”
Of course he thought it was worth it.
No matter how magical the sword is as long as you are a swordsman you will inevitably be interested in it.
But ignoring his words the young man spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
He “asked me if I had mastered the sword.”
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and answered that question.
“To some extent.”
“how?”
The young man snorted in response.
Then he relaxed his seat straightened up and opened his mouth.
“It’s like a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.”
‘!?’
At those words that came out of the young man’s mouth Seopchun not Mokgyeongun shook his head and said.
“A pearl necklace on a pig’s neck? Hey this is harsh. “No matter what you say something like that at the first meeting.”
“….”
The young man paid no heed to these words.
Seop-chun must have been uncomfortable with this and with an expression as if he was fed up he spoke to Mok-gyeong-un.
“Just don’t pay attention to what that guy says. “I’m just jealous…”
“A sword in the hands of someone who has not mastered the sword properly is just for decoration. How can we call it a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck?”
Seopchun said as if he was shocked by the young man’s next words.
“hey. Even though he is the vice-president’s son it is a bit excessive. Do you do it in moderation?”
‘Buhoeju’s son?’
Mo Kyung-un looked at the young man.
If he is the vice president’s son is he him?
He had heard of it.
Vice Lord Mong Seocheon had twin children.
It was Mong Seo-hye and Mong Mu-yak.
The young man in front of me couldn’t possibly be Mong Seo-hye a woman so of course it would be Mong Mu-yak.
‘It’s a coincidence.’
And Meng Wuyak was also a member of the Five Tigers who were called the best later exponents of the Heaven and Earth Association.
In other words two Five Tigers were gathered here.
What is the reason for calling you with these people?
While I was thinking about that Meng Wuyak approached Mu Qingyun and said.
“Apart from the magic sword do you think you are qualified to carry such a great sword?”
‘This kid doesn’t know moderation.’
Nyeopchun clicked his tongue.
I know very well that that guy is crazy about the sword but I never thought he would start a fight like this with Mok Gyeong-un who was his first encounter with him.
Since I’ve been watching him for a long time I can guess that he wasn’t doing this because he wanted a sword.
Literally he didn’t like Mok Gyeong-un having that sword.
‘It’s going to be like this for four months.’
Nie Chun thought he had to stop Meng Wuyak.
No matter how high he was at the gate of Sihyeolgok his opponent was one of the best later scholars who received the teachings of Buhoeju.
If you get caught up in this fight just because you feel bad you could get seriously hurt…
“hey. right….”
“Wouldn’t you be more qualified than that?”
‘Huh?’
Nie Chun looked embarrassed and turned his head.
It seemed that Mo Qingyun had fallen for Meng Wuyak’s provocation.
However it was Mok Gyeong-un with a smiling face who fell for the provocation.
Maybe that’s why
“More than that one?”
Rather Meng Muyak showed his discomfort.
So Seop-chun who judged that this situation would lead to trouble blocked the space between the two people and spoke in order to dissuade the situation.
“Stop…”
At that time Meng Wuyak’s hand suddenly went to the sword sheath on his waist.
Then he quickly tried to stab me.
-Park!
Before I could even draw my sword halfway it was blocked by something.
It was none other than Mo Kyung-un’s palm.
‘!?’
Meng Wuyue looked at Mu Qingyun with startled eyes.
Mok Gyeong-un spoke to him in a whispering voice.
“If you’re slower than a pig is that a bug?”
