Episode 547. There is only one way to reach the top of the mountain,
Yeongcheonju.
liquidation.
Yumyeongsan Mountain in Nakilhyeon.
Thunderbolt sect.
Early in the morning, an old man came out when he opened the door of an inn run by the religious sect.
The goatee-bearded man was also heartbroken.
The reason why he stays in the Chun Lei sect is because he has no money even though he was invited by Okcheong Jinin.
Of course, money was a problem that could be solved if Okcheong Jinin put his mind to it.
However, Okcheong Jinin, who became interested in the Dharma device of heartache, did not do so.
He was rather impatient because he couldn’t keep his heartache close by.
In the end, Heartache – like Yeon Jeok-ha did – ended up in a position where he had to think about making money.
A sigh flowed from his heart as he looked at Mt. Yumyeong covered in white snow.
“ha!”
Winter was a season of hardship that was hard to endure even for the green forests.
It would not be easy to make money normally in this cold weather.
I was in a hurry, but I didn’t want to go down the mountain without a plan.
“Why are you sighing this morning?”
The heartache suddenly turned around at the sudden words.
At some point, Okcheong Jin-in stood there smiling.
Heartache cleared his chest in surprise and responded quickly.
“Ah yes, thinking about when winter will pass is a bit frustrating.”
“Oh, you said you had to find a party, didn’t you?”
“yes.”
“Did you say Hansanju?”
“Yes yes.”
At the recommendation of the Eighthwangsinmo, Shimtong planned to go to Hansanju.
That’s why the party said they went to Hansanju. Of course, the group is related.
“I don’t have any means of transportation in the winter, so maybe in the spring.”
“I think so too.”
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on Okcheong Jinin’s face.
“But you won’t be able to go to Hansanju after all.”
“yes? I can’t go to Hansanju?”
He looked at Jade Qing Jinin with shocked eyes.
Can’t go to Hansanju?
Could it be that he intends to enslave himself to the Thunder Bell?
If he had intended to do so, he would have been bound to the Thunderbolt.
However, the words that followed surpassed the imagination of the heartache.
“Unfortunately, your lifespan is almost over. It won’t last through this winter.”
“Am I dying?”
Shim Tong couldn’t believe Okcheong Jin-in’s words.
But his expression was too serious to be a lie.
Besides, he had no reason to lie to himself like that.
“Do you know how old I am?”
“You look over 100 years old… but I’m not sure.”
“Hehe, thank you for looking at me so young. I am seven hundred and thirty-two years old.”
“Seven hundred?”
I glanced at Jade Cheong Jin-in with a heartache and absurd eyes.
He looked like he was about a hundred years old, but to be seven hundred and thirty-two years old was staggering.
No, how can a person live that long?
“When you become a disciple of the sect, you enter the path of ‘refining’. If you reach 10 stars on the podium, you become ‘Yeonheo’. Until ‘Yeonheo’, even if you are a disciple of a sect, the lifespan is the same as that of an ordinary human being. If you live to be 100 years old, you have enjoyed the life of a thousand.”
“If you go beyond that level, will your lifespan increase?”
My heartache suddenly reminded me of the Eighthwangsinmo.
Is that the reason why the religious leader, whose dream is immortality, hangs himself in the ‘Heaven of Kings’?
“It is not possible to attain the Dao overnight. It’s not like you can get what you want. No, it is close to impossible to achieve the Tao with a human body in the first place. You need a much longer lifespan to attain the Way. The first step is ‘Wonyoung’. You can live to be 300 if you enter the stage of ‘immortal youth’.”
“ah!”
An exclamation flowed from the heartache’s mouth.
Are you three hundred years old?
If I could live that long, I would have no wish.
“But ‘Wonyoung’ is only the first step on the path to seeking salvation. You can live nine hundred years if you reach the stage of ‘songyo’ like me.”
“Nine nine hundred years?”
Sim Tong was more surprised to hear that Okcheong Jin-in had lived for nine hundred years than to say that he was in the realm of self-reliance.
“Tsk! Surprisingly, only nine hundred years. The top of ‘Dokyo’ is ‘Sage’. If you become a ‘sage’, your lifespan will increase by a thousand years.”
“Did you say that a thousand years will add to nine hundred years now?”
“You’ll foam at the mouth when you hear the lifespan of this man’s ‘fellow’. There is a ‘servant’ above the ‘sage’, and if you become a ‘servant’, your lifespan increases by another 3,000 years. It can be said that you have to train to that extent to get closer to the Tao.”
“….”
Simtong looked at Okcheong Jinin with an unrealistic face.
Being 300 years old is amazing enough, but 3,000 years!
“Foolish people say, ‘It’s okay to die in the evening if you wake up in the morning.’ However, Tao is not something that can be learned overnight. It’s just an illusion created by humans. Do you think ephemera can understand the laws of Mother Nature?”
Shaking my head.
Heartache shook his head with a bewildered face.
I heard that Confucius said something similar, but it seems that there was such a person in Kuju.
“Anyways, the talk is long, but when you listen to ‘Dokyo’, you can see quite a few things with your own eyes. At this rate, you will be dead in three months.”
“Six months? Your hair is turning black, so you’re saying you only have three months to live?”
“Rarely, Banrohwandong came along, but it cannot exceed the set lifespan. Do you know if there are one or two people who have experienced a half-role and died in the realm of ‘Yeonheo’?”
“That’s right.”
Heartache’s shoulders drooped.
three months?
It is dark before my eyes to think that I will die on Mt.
On the one hand, I wanted to live an insanely long time.
In the meantime, I laughed at the Eighthwangsinmo, but now I know how you feel.
“Do you want to live?”
In an instant, the heartache’s ears flashed open.
do you want to live
sound natural.
“Yes, I want to live. No, save me. How can I buy more?”
“It’s really hard, but it’s easy.”
“Difficult yet easy?”
Heartache stung his eyes.
The words ‘Don’t make noise about dogs grazing grass’ came up to my throat.
“They say that when you reach the stage of ‘immortal youth,’ your lifespan automatically increases.”
“Ah…”
Only then did Shimtong understand Okcheong Jinin’s words.
But it was just an empty fire.
How could he, who knew nothing, reach the state of ‘wonyoung’!
“Can an old freshman like me reach the stage of ‘wonyoung’?”
“If you become a disciple of a sect, you will receive the secrets. Now that you have reached ‘Yeonheo’, if you work hard, you will be able to become ‘Wonyoung’. I honestly want you to rise to the level of ‘wonyoung’ and stay by my side for a long time.”
It was true.
Okcheong Jin-in wanted to solve the secret of ‘Heart Pain’ and his ‘Dharma Skill’.
For that to happen, the heartache had to be alive.
“What must I do to become a disciple of the clan?”
“Originally, the sect only accepts as disciples those who have passed the ‘non-passing path’ before the age of twenty-five. But it’s not necessarily the only way. There is only one road to the top of the mountain.”
“Is there another way?”
“From Inseon like me (the level of self-reliance), you can directly collect disciples regardless of age. Disciples who have been taken in this way are called ‘foreign disciples’. It must have been the name given to distinguish it from the disciples who passed through the ‘non-seung and sea’.”
“ah! Then, do you call a disciple who has passed the ‘passing the path of enlightenment’ a ‘disciple of inner gate’?”
Heartache’s eyes twinkled.
Even in Gangho, there were often munpa that discriminated and accepted disciples like that.
“Hehe, if you teach one, you’re the kind of person who understands two. That’s right. ‘Inner door disciple’ is more treated than ‘outer gate disciple’, but there is no doubt that ‘outer gate disciple’ is also sectarian disciple. If you become my disciple, I will teach you the martial arts. How is it?”
Heartache hesitated for a moment.
It was because he had regarded Yeonjeokha as his teacher until now.
But if you die, it’s no use. If you know your situation, you will understand.
“Yes, I will become the disciple of the old man.”
“Hehe, fresh old man. Bow down to me three times and call me Master from now on.”
Shen Tong bowed three times to Jade Qing Jinin on the spot and became his disciple.
***
Suyakju.
Joyful nature.
Sanyin County Hyeoncheon Gate.
It snowed for seven days.
Mountains and cities were all covered in white snow.
Still, the streets were clean as usual.
It’s thanks to people sweeping their eyes.
Of course, the reason the alley was cleared of snow was so that the vigilantes could move quickly.
The streets were cleared, but few people came and went.
This is because no one went out of the house due to the biting cold.
He refrained from going out unless absolutely necessary.
After lying around in his room since morning, he went out to the gymnasium when his body was itchy.
People’s footprints are dizzyingly stamped on the hard compacted snow.
It seems that there were people who practiced even in this cold.
He picked up a sword from the arsenal and slowly unleashed the nine thousand three laws and nine thousand nine swords.
Maybe it’s been about a meal (about 30 minutes)?
The quiet Hyeoncheonmun suddenly became noisy.
Soon after, Gong Ji-seop, whose upper body was stained with blood, hurriedly ran to the gymnasium.
“Kite grand bargain!”
“yes?”
“Help! Jiyuga Jiyuga…”
“Why Gong Sojeo?”
“I was dealing with Red Eye Gold Jeo with the vigilantes… and I was taken away by him.”
“Is it safe?”
“Yes, it is a ‘golden level’ beast. He’s more like a monster than a beast. It’s a pig with red eyes and a body that shines gold, and it often catches women.”
“So, is it that a beast of gold took the ball?”
“Yes yes…”
Yeon Jeok-ha asked as if confirming, and Gong Ji-seop lowered his eyes.
This is because the ‘gold level’ beast is a monster that is difficult to deal with even under the age of enemies.
Nevertheless, the reason he came to him was because he had no one else to complain to.
Rumors that he had driven out the one-eyed demon from Woraksan Mountain also played a role.
‘Hmm…’
Yeonjeokha frowned.
If I didn’t know anything about the Savior like I used to, I might have gone head-to-head.
But now it is different.
I’ve learned almost everything in the last two months or so.
‘I heard that only masters of Wonyeong can deal
with beasts of this level…’
But there are conflicts in the fight.
It may have been the relationship between himself and the one-eyed demon.
When people say ‘only Wonyoung’s masters can deal with’, there must be a reason.
‘If it’s to the extent that even the sound of a monster comes out…’
It is said that you should not think lightly of ‘pay money’.
When Yeon Jeok-ha’s answer was delayed, Gong Ji-seop lowered his head.
He knew how absurd it was to ask him to save his brother.
“…can’t you?”
Gong Ji-seop did not cling to Yeonjeok-ha.
In fact, it was too selfish a request to save a younger brother from a beast that even a disciple of the clan avoids.
After thinking for a while, he put the sword he was holding on the weapon stand and turned around.
“Isn’t the red-eye gold a pig? Why did you capture the woman?”
Gong Ji-seop gritted his teeth and replied.
“I heard that it turns into a human body to satisfy my greed and eventually catches and eats it.”
what? Satisfy your greed and eat it?
It is a mountain beyond a mountain.
Why did the Creator God create the world like this?
Not only did he not like the hideous red-eye gold that he was dating, but even the creator god didn’t like it.
“Do you know where that piglet went?”
“There is Garisan outside the east gate. I saw you going there.”
Gong Ji-seop glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.
At that time, Yeon Jeok-ha approached Gong Ji-seop and wrapped one hand around his waist.
“I’m a bit blind to the road. I’d like some directions to Garisan, please.”
As soon as Gong Ji-seop answered ‘yes’, he kicked off the ground and flew up.
“Ahhh-.”
Suddenly, Gong Ji-seop let out a scream as his body rose five feet (about 15 meters) high.
