The essence of reincarnation, episode 119,
Vinchen asked.
‘stratagem?’
-Didn’t you judge that there are many reliable records of the dragon king in Yongrim? It was a very good decision. It will be very easy to acquire information or knowledge related to Abeltan.
In the case of the ‘enhanced body’ characteristic that Vinchen acquired, research has already been widely conducted.
So, there was no big problem in learning.
Stability was quite high because the standardized magic flow and formula had been established.
However, the characteristics derived from Forsedin’s divine protection were slightly different.
Yulian was very satisfied in his own way.
-The noble mind that wants to finally get away from the path of barbarism and go the path of an intellectual! I feel a bit unfair because I felt like my position was taken away, but I was moved.
Vinchen nodded in agreement.
‘Oh, the records of the dragon king remain in Yongrim. That’s it too.’
-yes?
Julian’s sympathy with Vinchen has increased a lot.
I knew long ago that Vincen had a plan.
I thought Vincen was deliberately using a ruse.
In a very Julian-like way.
-Isn’t that what it is?
‘No.’
-sure? Surely there was a trick?
‘I just bought time to practice.’
-What training?
‘Didn’t the tax collector tell you? This is the place where the essence is condensed.’
– So what?
‘There are places optimized for training where the spirit is condensed. In my days, such places were called meditation grounds. Yongrim is very large, but we have a tax collector, so it should be easy to find.’
As the imagery theory developed in modern times, it became unnecessary.
Thanks to the theory of imagery, the efficiency of accepting mana has greatly increased.
So, I practiced in the corner of the room or in the meditation field, but there it was.
‘As I see it, modern unmanned people tend to overestimate efficiency.’
Vinchen had previously referred to modern martial arts as ‘forgetting its essence’.
‘In the end, the essence of the work of accumulating mana in the body does not change. It is to refine the pure energy in my own way and store it in the body.’
Soldiers in the past accumulated mana in ‘my own way’.
Modern unmanned people put mana in their bodies through a ‘filter’ called ‘image’.
‘I’ll admit it’s fast and safe. However, it must be difficult to bring out all the power of mana.’
Yulian remained silent for a while, then remembered something.
-Looking at the old records, I heard that you practiced under a waterfall or meditated on a thunderbolt hill, and did such ignorant things. No way…
records of the old methods remained.
However, there are just no people using that uncivilized method.
‘okay. The trainee moved to find a place where he could meditate in a place similar to the energy and temperament he wanted to practice. It was to the extent that there were people and families who specialized in finding and managing meditation sites.’
-Did you really train in a place like Thunder Hill?
‘I did.’
-It’s dangerous.
‘Training is inherently dangerous.’
-It’s not just dangerous, it’s dying!
‘I did that all the time.’
-ha.
Yulian felt once again the reason for the short lifespan of old warriors.
Just then, Seri opened the door and came in.
In her hand was a tray of cookies and a kettle.
“Confucius, I brought some snacks in case you go hungry. These are the cookies I baked myself after learning tips from Chef Yong Ah-in. I hope it fits in your mouth.”
“Thank you, Seri.”
Seri excelled in many ways.
The cookie melted like chocolate as soon as it touched my mouth.
It was a strange texture, but it was very sweet and delicious.
Seri looked at Vincen with a slightly nervous look.
“It is delicious.”
“really?”
It was only then that Seri seemed relieved.
“Sit down, too. Eat together.”
After having a little chat with the tax collector, Vincen brought up the main topic.
“Seri. Didn’t I say that Yongrim is a place full of energy?”
“yes.”
“How does that feel?”
“Like streams of water.”
Only the eyes of the elemental sage can see it.
“Can you help me explore the places where large streams of water gather?”
“Where the streams of water gather?”
It was the method used by those who sought meditation grounds
in the past .
“A place where streams of water gather to form a puddle. The larger the size, the better, and the better if it is a place where spirits of various natures are intertwined.”
There was one more condition.
What Vinchen is trying to learn is a trait created from the protection of ‘Porsedin’.
So, it was better to have the energy of the sea.
If that is impossible, a place with the energy of water is good.
After hearing all of Vinchen’s explanation, the tax collector nodded.
“I’ll look for it.”
Seri summoned the spirit.
A spirit that looked like a mole from the floor! popped out
‘Has it grown in size?’
Definitely bigger than before.
And it seemed that some communication with the tax collector was possible.
In the meantime, it meant that Se-ri’s spiritism had improved.
A different type of voice came from the human’s upbringing.
“me. width width. find it.”
width width.
Bread the ground! It was the name the tax collector gave to the mole spirit because it digs up.
“please. Explosive.”
“Various. believe. width width. genius.”
With his short, plump hands, he pounded his own breasts! After knocking, it spreads to the ground! has disappeared.
“Boom, boom, boom.”
The spirit’s voice faded away.
* * *
The night has passed.
Early in the morning, tax collector woke Vinchen.
“Gongja. Pokmok taught me some interesting facts.”
“Fun fact?”
“There is a special place called Geumgang in Yongrim.”
“Salt River?”
“yes. Salty water flows like seawater… There, I think I found the special site that Confucius said.”
After hearing all of Seri’s words, Yulian vomited his flagship.
-A giant waterfall 30 meters high? Could it be that you will practice while being bathed in the waterfall there?
“It’s a perfect place for training.”
Vincent stood up from his seat.
“We don’t have much time, so let’s go there.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
When I left the door, a carriage was waiting.
Said the tax collector calmly.
“I told the dragon’s mother and prepared a wagon.”
“To Sir Nymer?”
“yes. When I told them that it was a place for training to continue the progress of the Dragon King, they immediately understood and gave me a carriage. A coachman who knows the way was also attached to me.”
Vincen laughed lightly.
Seri saved me a lot of time.
After getting on the carriage, Yulian said.
-older brother. I mean Seri.
‘why?’
-Actually, I really like tax collectors too, but I wasn’t this smart and driven.
There were even several books related to the dragon king, Abeltan, in the carriage.
This was also what the tax collector had requested in advance.
– It seems that he exerts superhuman strength only when it comes to things related to his older brother. My head is also very sensitive. To think that even the records of the Dragon King were prepared in advance.
In fact, Yulian had also tried to request records related to Abeltan.
What she had been thinking in her head, Seri put into action.
– Anyway, it’s a strange thing.
It took about 5 hours to arrive.
A giant waterfall in the Sogeumgang River.
It was called Abeltan Falls because it was one of the places where the dragon king Abeltan trained.
‘it serves him right. Even 200 years ago, there were people who practiced in this way.’
– Because the dragon king was a spirit swordsman who also dealt with spirits! You must have received help from the spirits!
Waterfall 30 meters high.
Yulian looked down and felt dizzy.
It looked like it would get sucked into the water.
The water flow was so strong that it seemed like rain and wind were blowing all around.
‘Don’t worry. I’ve done this level of difficulty countless times.’
-Yes Yes I guess.
Yulian grumbled and looked around.
I thought about what to do if Vincen lost consciousness without being able to withstand the energy of the waterfall.
A countermeasure was devised in consideration of the topography of the waterfall, the flow speed, and the depth under the waterfall.
-Fortunately, there is a dam built by beavers in front of me.
If you ever lose consciousness, you will be pushed there.
– I don’t think I’ll die unless I get sucked under the waterfall.
Yulian prepared for the worst.
Even if it consumes some of the divine powers, it is enough to float Vinchen’s body once.
Then the water will take it to the bottom, and the tax collector just needs to get Vinchen out.
– Seri will definitely know first aid, so have her stand by down there.
As Yulian had said, Vincen had Seri on standby downstream.
Vincen entered the water and swam towards the waterfall falling below.
Gradually the flow accelerated and it was difficult to go any further.
‘It does not resist the flow of water.’
In the first place, this was the beginning of training.
Getting acquainted with the water spirit here.
Making the energy of this place accept me.
It was an almost impossible method for modern warriors who artificially process and accept mana.
‘Julian. Think of Master Hansen’s workshop.’
At that time,
even Hansen, who was so familiar with fire, was almost burned to death.
However, Vincen was able to overcome the flames.
‘It’s fundamentally the same.’
Julian listened to Vinchen silently.
This was not just a conversation, it was a kind of learning.
Vincen does a lot of things by relying on intuition and experience.
Julian established it as a theory.
That was what Vinchen was asking of Yulian now.
‘Accept the flow of mana and integrate with me.’
Through him, he overcomes the resistance of the current.
Vinchen demonstrated the work with his body, and Julian observed it.
Both Vincen and Julian forgot the flow of time.
It was night.
Vincent fell into a trance and climbed up the Sogeumgang until he reached a waterfall.
Vinchen reached out and climbed the waterfall.
In an instant, the strength in the body was released.
He fainted and did not open his eyes until the next morning.
“Gongja. Are you okay?”
Seri used magic to warm Vincen’s sleeping bag so that he wouldn’t cool down.
The potion was also poured into Vinchen’s mouth.
“Thank you, Seri.”
Vinchen climbed the waterfall in the same way as yesterday.
time is much shorter.
Vinchen sat cross-legged.
‘Since ancient times, it has been said that training with a waterfall hitting your head is much more helpful.’
Many did.
Vinchen closed his eyes and began to operate the meditation ceremony.
Julian contemplated Vinchen’s body silently.
‘The stream of water in contact with my brother’s body is twisting itself.’
The streams of water condensed into one.
And the water air continued to hit the area around the top of the head.
As if it had become a saliva made of water.
‘In old records, that place was called Baekhoehyeol.’
3 days passed like that.
Meditation that accepts water energy containing salt.
It began to cause changes in Vinchen’s body.
Vincen felt it too.
‘From now on is important.’
New mana accumulated inside the body.
I have to fuse this properly and make it ‘mine’.
Work as natural as breathing or a single mistake can cause a fatal injury.
Yulian helped with Magic Rotation in theory.
-Brother, the center of the head is called Baekhoehyeol. Think of it as having an imaginary hole drilled in it. Create an image in your head of sea breeze pouring in like a waterfall through that passage.
Vinchen was already doing so instinctively.
Yulian further embodied it.
– I will spread that energy evenly throughout my body.
But there was a problem.
The mana that permeated to the neck area could no longer go down.
-The magic circuit that accepts that energy is too narrow. Some are blocked.
Vincent’s face turned red.
Steam erupted from the body.
Blood vessels swelled.
Pain surged through his face, but Vincen did not move.
Vinchen already had this situation in mind.
‘Look closely, Julian. It’s an old way now forgotten.’
Vinchen started to show something new.
