Episode 14
“Why me?”
“You’re smarter and more charming than anyone else. “He’s cute and handsome, and he’s exactly what adults like.”
Ugh, Jin Cheonhee cleared his throat.
Gongsunyoung’s voice subsides slightly.
“Sister. If you don’t trust yourself, you can’t trust others either. They say they are stronger than anyone else, but in reality, they are more timid than anyone else. The only daughter in that polite family who can’t learn martial arts. “It’s hard to imagine what that gaze and weight must be like.”
“….”
“Actually, my sister likes listening to the stories of martial arts thiefs. And I think there were times when I desperately wanted that to happen. Of course, I’ve given up now.”
She scratched her head and laughed softly.
“I guess… I guess she was everything I wanted my sister to be.”
solar lag.
It is a constitution that one in 10,000 people may or may not be born with.
They are born with strong yang energy, and their inner energy accumulates easily.
Because it has a good constitution for achieving the path, it does not have the ability to acquire the same power as the Heavenly Demon’s Heavenly Death, but it is also free from madness. Therefore, the energy flowing from the body is bright and heavy.
It is good for learning martial arts of the right faction.
It’s not just that.
Their muscles are much better than those of ordinary people. Even in modern 21st century society, there are sometimes people like that.
People who have abnormally developed muscular strength and have the strength to grab and crush metal with their hands.
Or people whose lung capacity is several times that of an average person.
Maybe they weren’t boneless either? And Jin Cheon-hee guessed.
If she grows up like this for another 20 years, there will be very few people in the world who can stand up to her sword.
“Do you have any intention of becoming the head of the family?”
“doesn’t exist.”
She answered without a second of hesitation. When Jin Cheon-hee asked why, she shrugged her shoulders.
“I forget things easily and like things easily. When you go out into the martial arts world, there is nothing more dangerous than a car handed to you by someone else. Not to mention the behavior. But I forgot that fact. “Maybe it would have been different if my sister had been there instead of me.”
“is that so?”
“Hahaha, even if I build up enough power to drive out the communist dictator, I will probably still be me. “Simple, ignorant, stone-headed, polite and polite.”
She unfastened the short sword from her waist.
It was a bit long to be a short sword, but too short to be a long sword.
When she pulled out her short sword, a pitch-black blade appeared.
The pine tree pattern of the Gongsun family continued on the black blade.
At a glance, it was clear that it was a plan created by a great craftsman.
“It’s a short sword made of perpetual ink iron. They say the craftsman could only make it this length because he couldn’t find many materials. Still, it will be enough for you now.”
“yes?”
“receive. “I’ll give it to you.”
Tak –
She put the sword back into its sheath and handed it to him.
Jin Cheon-hee knew what that sword was.
Black pine sword.
It is the brightest of brights that will never be broken. That wasn’t all.
The scary thing about this sword is that the blade is dark and non-reflective.
It is also suitable for secret work.
This sword later passed into the hands of Yeo Ha-ryun, the Cheonma. And Yeo Ha-ryun’s life is saved several times.
Jin Cheonhee shook his head.
“I can’t take it.”
“I haven’t repaid you for saving my life yet.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“I’ve already paid it off from the public tax.”
“That’s just a silver ball held in our family, it’s not my silver ball.”
There was not a single flicker in her eyes.
Clear and deep eyes looked at Jin Cheonhee.
While looking at that scene, Jin Cheon-hee asked back without realizing it.
“Is that your sister’s cooperation?”
“Cooperation? huh. “You can say that.”
Martial arts.
Since it is a fighting novel, of course martial arts will be included, and what is martial arts?
Jin Cheonhee thought.
If there was no cooperation, it would have ended in a sword fight to select the strongest person.
‘I see. In the end, Yeo Ha-ryun couldn’t hit me, a civilian.’
This was because it was against the rules to persecute those who had not learned martial arts.
‘This older sister is also trying to repay the favor with her sword.’
This was because it was her duty to resolve the family’s merits and her own merits on her own.
Of course, cooperation was different from goodness.
Not all associations were good.
Negligence exists even between revenge and secret fighting.
It was truly a strange thing.
And that was also the reason why Jin Cheon-hee liked martial arts.
She said.
“The Black Pine Blade is no longer suitable for my swordsmanship, and if this continues, I plan to return it to my family. I would be happy if you at least wrote it down. “If I can repay you like this, I think it will put my mind at ease.”
“…I’ll take it.”
“thank god. “If I didn’t receive it, I was planning to leave it to the Cloud Dragon Bureau and use it up until I could get it.”
“ha ha ha.”
Surprisingly, it’s not a joke.
Jin Cheon-hee received the sword.
‘light.’
As a short sword, it couldn’t be better than this.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“But I have change left over from this. sister.”
“hmm?”
Yeo Ha-ryun has Yeo Ha-ryun’s association, and Gongson-yeong has Gongson-yeong’s association.
‘Then is there such a thing as a cooperative for me?’
Until recently, I had been living on Earth for a long time. I have never done anything similar, let alone Moorim.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Can you show me how to use this short sword?”
It was a bold question because it asked the opponent to show off his swordsmanship. However, Jin Cheon-hee is a child who has never learned martial arts.
In some ways, it ended up being a bit of a scolding.
Gongsunyoung said.
“of course! But you can’t imitate it just because you see it… I guess? “It comes from long practice.”
“are you okay. “I just want to see my sister swinging a sword.”
Gongsunyoung blushed slightly at those words.
‘Your ears are so cute….’
This is really against the rules.
* * *
The two arrived at a deserted vacant lot.
She stroked Jin Tianxi’s head before pulling out her sword.
‘Ugh, I’m so embarrassed. ‘I’m not old enough, so do I have to show off my cuteness like this?’
Contrary to the feeling of wanting to bite his tongue and die, Lee Sung turned the steering wheel 180 degrees.
“I don’t really know what you’re talking about. “I’m happy that my sister is happy.”
“Cheonhee. “This cute thing.”
I pulled Jin Cheon-hee’s cheek tightly once.
As if he was satisfied, he received the Black Pine Cloud Sword from Jin Cheon-hee and moved to the middle of the vacant lot.
She drew her short sword and slowly took a stance.
In some ways, it was a very simple posture.
I just pulled out my sword with one hand and aimed it at the enemy.
And her sword, which seemed to stand still forever, moved.
The sword that was winding like a pine tree began to disappear for a moment.
The sword of the Gongsun family values pleasure.
If a person’s neck is cut off by even half an inch, he or she dies. So wouldn’t the sooner be better?
There was a person who became the best person in the world with an idea that anyone would think of.
That is Gongsun Cheongyeon, the school of thought of the Gongsun family.
Her sword cut through the wind and began to rush faster and faster.
Her sword energy created pine needles.
At that moment, Gongsunyoung’s expression frowns slightly.
‘Sega, which aims for a quick sword, usually uses waves or wind as its symbols. Why is it a pine tree? And why did Sajo say to resemble a pine tree?’
It was a question that not only she, but also countless swordsmen of the Gongsun family had.
Therefore, the current swordsmanship of the Gongsun family has changed.
They abandoned the pine trees. But even so, traces of pine trees still remained at every joint.
Because it is their roots.
Is it progress? Or is it a regression?
The Gongsun family has always been a high-ranking family, but they have never once discussed the best sword in the world. The changed Geomsik became both a cradle and a wall.
Jin Cheon-hee saw the sword path she had created.
It was the first time he had seen the sword made by the martial arts people in his life.
Of course, looking at this, I don’t think it’s plausible.
It just looked cool and amazing.
Her sword journey is over.
An ordinary martial artist would have stuck his tongue out, but Jin Cheon-hee just appreciated it normally.
This is because I know nothing about martial arts.
I haven’t learned anything, but it’s natural.
‘I can’t take my eyes off it. In novels, there are many expressions that sword dance is beautiful, but when you see it in real life, it’s definitely different, isn’t it? By the way, I’ve never learned how to use a sword, so I don’t know anything about sword dance.’
Jin Cheon-hee muttered that to herself.
‘Still, I have to do what I have to do. Will it work? In novels, you gain enlightenment even through small conversations. ‘You’ll find out when you try something.’
“ruler. how is it?”
Gongsunyoung asked, lowering the hand holding the sword towards the ground.
Not breaking a sweat.
Even though she was young, she was still a genius who could hear the sound of a drummer.
Looking at her like that, Jin Cheonhee smiled.
“Pine trees are green all year round. And old pine trees that have grown for a long time do not break even in storms. “It stands rooted and shakes its branches as the wind blows.”
‘The ultimate in politeness’ swordsmanship. It is the ultimate second-first-come-first-served system.’
Second come first.
It is the ultimate counter in modern terms.
Every attack has its own line.
If it was a straight line, it would move forward in a straight line; if it was a curved line, it would move forward by drawing a change.
The first thing is to understand that line.
And the second is to dig into the enemy’s attack path and strike back.
This seems to be consistent with the principle of competent steelmaking (soft overcomes strong). The sword of the Gongsun family was different from that.
Gongsun’s swordsmanship involves delivering the greatest counterattack with the least amount of force.
I needed to know why our ancestors, who were the greatest people in the world at the time, made concessions one by one first.
It was not a concession by the strong.
This was because it was the sword that best suited the Gongsong family’s sword principles.
That’s why it was a pine tree.
It was an extreme swordsmanship with the contradiction of pursuing pleasure but never moving much.
Of course, this is theoretically true, but Jin Cheon-hee knows well that it is not usually easy to achieve this.
That’s why I’m telling you.
‘This is a phrase that Gongsun Hyeon later realized while recompiling the family’s secret book… What should Gongsun Yong, known as the flying dragon of the Gongsun family, do? Gongsunhyeon realized it too late and said that it was the extreme intention of starting first later.’
“…!”
I saw Gongsunyoung’s eyes widen.
‘oh? no way?’
Her hands become weak.
And as the focus disappeared from his eyes, he raised his sword again and began to move.
‘Wow… awesome. Is this really happening?’
Her movements become like pine trees swaying in the wind.
At the end of the black period, pine leaves began to form.
Then her sword began to slow down again. However, the soft sword energy she created began to spread out in all directions.
A sword dance follows.
Pine trees that are strong against heavy snow and typhoons were in full bloom there.
Even though it was a pine tree without any colorful flowers or beautiful changes, it began to form her black line and divide the space.
Kwae (快) finally leads to Gyeol (結). And the conclusion did not end, but continued again with poetry.
In his trance, Gongsun Yong thought.
‘The polite sword method of polite swordsmanship was simply written in a way that was easy for later generations to understand.’
She realized.
Her sword wasn’t meant to be used simply for pleasure.
I needed to know why it was a pleasure.
