Episode 14. The scenes of the tiger appearing at an auspicious time
were scattered again and passed through Han Ibi’s vision. The name of the Taoist monk is Uan-mok (禹安穆). He is none other than a Taoist from the Cheongseong Sect.
Although he was short and had an ungainly appearance, he earned a place as a member of the Cheongseong faction with great martial arts talent.
The two had to go quite a long way. Because Mount Qingcheng, where the Qingcheng faction was located, was in Sichuan Province.
Uan Mok didn’t even ride a horse.
Sometimes they walked together, sometimes they carried Song Myeong-cheon on their backs, and sometimes they did light work, but the speed was so fast that it made them dizzy.
In that way, Woo An-mok and Han I-bi finally arrived at Cheongseong Mountain.
His teacher, Bokyeongjeon (卜英展), a scholar of the Cheongseong faction, was displeased with Woo An-mok for bringing an uninvited guest.
How can a person become a Taoist and pick up a foreigner if he or she is not even a stray cat?
I scolded him, asking if I hadn’t seen his eyes full of ‘extortion’.
The right eye silently endured the beating. And from that day on, Song Myeong-cheon began working as a handyman for the Cheongseong faction.
The scenes flew by again like that. My eyes are dizzy.
However, Song Myeong-cheon’s situation was truly a mess.
The horse is a handyman and is no different from a servant.
It is relatively recent that traces of the caste system have been converted into financial power.
In this era, the gap between formal disciples and servants exceeded that between heaven and earth.
However, Song Myeong-cheon was very different from ordinary servants.
He was ambitious.
Cleaning and chores were performed to the level of a craftsman.
Handymen are unexpectedly able to pass through the forbidden area to their heart’s content.
He diligently stole and learned the martial arts of the Cheongseong Sect that his students were learning.
Trying hard not to get caught.
But one day. In the end, it took four months.
While practicing Maehojang (昧虎掌), a Cheongseongpa practice, in the backyard at dawn, he was caught practicing martial arts by Gil Bok-geon, one of his regular disciples of similar age.
Song Myeong-cheon pleaded, but it had no effect at all on the cold-natured Gil Bok-geon.
Stealing and learning martial arts from other monks is a taboo for strongmen. From an official perspective, it was no different from high treason.
There is no way that excuses will even work.
Therefore, Song Myeong-cheon appeared as a criminal in the long speech and the extraordinary meeting of elders for the personnel action of the Cheongseong faction.
But there….
Han Ibi was connected again with the ‘young Song Myeong-cheon’ of the time.
‘Ahh! Why do we skip over easy things and only give the steering wheel in difficult situations? This damn system. ‘You’re so impatient that you can’t kill me.’
It was dark.
The lighting must have been done that way on purpose.
It may be intended to create a sense of fear.
Han Ibi felt like a criminal from a drama she had previously seen called ‘Pocheongcheon’ and was being interrogated at the opening.
To put it bluntly, it’s a ‘revision’.
Of course, Po Qingtian was not there. Instead, Bok Yeong-jeon, a long-time scholar of the Qingcheng faction, was sitting there with his eyes wide open.
Several elders lined up on either side of him.
The oldest of the elders, ‘Yoon Seo-oh (尹瑞悟)’ waved his pale beard and scolded Han Yi-bi.
Han Ibi flinched without even realizing it.
“In the 500 years of history of the Qingcheng Sect, someone like you has never existed! “How could you have thoughtlessly thought about learning the martial arts of the text?”
Han Ibi lowered her head as if she was reflecting as much as possible.
Right now… there is no other way.
Another of the elders, Taoist Ji Seung-rip (池昇立), who boasted the most vicious appearance, also shouted loudly.
“A meeting like this is unreasonable. “Isn’t this a case where there is nothing to say even if they were killed immediately upon discovery?”
‘Oh Mr. No matter what… not even holding a trial is the behavior of uncivilized people.’
At that time, Han Ibi caught sight of the elder ‘Woo An Mok’, who was sitting expressionless with his eyes downcast.
Tsk tsk, what a pincushion he must be…
Suddenly, Han Ibi felt a little fear about how Song Myeong-cheon would have endured this situation.
But… he eventually passed.
You can do it yourself.
Yoon Seo-oh spoke loudly again.
“Mr. Bok Jangmun. There’s nothing to see. “We must quickly destroy Hadanjeon, abolish all the martial arts he has stolen and learned so far, and cut off his right arm and left leg and drive him out.”
Then Seo-oh Yoon turned his gaze to Woo An-mok, the junior elder, and said.
“Right eye! Even if there were ten mouths, there would be nothing to say. Didn’t all of this come from you? Where did you bring in a thief cat with no roots?…”
“No!”
The person who shouted was Han Ibi.
Naturally, the public’s attention focused on him.
‘omg. It’s a big deal. I was so feverish that I stopped before I knew it…’
But it was already too late. Whether it works or not, something has to be said.
“It was clearly a mistake for the thief cat to steal the fish, but how can we blame it on the great Heavenly Being who presides over that cat’s life?”
Haha. The Heavenly Lord is a type of Taoist religion in which the Tao is deified, and he is treated as if he were the highest god.
I never thought I would be able to use the knowledge I learned about martial arts here.
Anyway, when Yoon Seo-oh heard those words, his face turned red with anger and he shouted even louder. The contrast with the long white beard had quite a dramatic effect.
“What do you know… How dare you mention the Lord of Heaven? “You stole martial arts and learned nothing more than trying to commit lese majeste. This is completely unacceptable…”
That was then.
The long sentence made Bok Yeong-jeon frown.
“Elder Yoon. “This meeting will be chaired by Jang Moon.”
Then, Yoon Seo-oh took a step back, leaving behind his trembling beard.
Still, I couldn’t hide my dissatisfied expression.
Ugh. That flexibility is like an old man who has no work to do…
Bok Yeong-jeon said.
“What do you mean?”
At that time, Han Ibi intentionally did not blink and made her eyes as bloodshot as possible.
There is nothing better than acting out tears.
He deliberately made his eyes red and bowed deeply towards the right eye tree and said:
Everyone was surprised.
“I’m sorry and I’m sorry again. “Instead of repaying the favor of taking care of a helpless child, greed took the lead and he committed such a grave sin. This fool will pay for his sin with his life right now.”
Then Bok Yeong-jeon snorted and said, ‘Hmph.’
“You’re so funny. It seems you can only see Elder Wu, right? You don’t even consider the Cheongseongpa, the birthplace of purity training and a famous martial arts school, even when it comes to claws. Your disposition will be decided solely through this meeting, so do not think of corrupting the principles by saying whatever you want. Until then, you will not be able to do what you want, even if you commit suicide.”
Then Han Yi-bi bowed her head towards Bok Yeong-jeon again and said.
I don’t know how adult Song Myeong-cheon escaped, but the ‘fearless child version that doesn’t know anything about the world’ might be worth a try.
“Long sentence, old man. All of this is my fault. Soin committed a great sin with the sole intention of repaying the kindness he received from Elder Wu. It hasn’t been a day or two since Soin joined the Cheongseong Sect. “It was because I wanted to become a true ‘member of Cheongseong’ and be of help in an unexpected way, and I never sought personal advancement.”
Bok Yeongjeon said.
“joy. “How can you believe the words that come out of your mouth?”
“It’s not a matter of believing or not believing. “I… I’m telling you the truth.”
At that time, Bok Yeong-jeon and Han Yi-bi’s gaze became entangled.
As expected from a master who can be said to be one of Kangho’s greatest generals, his clear, transparent, yet powerful gaze was extremely fierce.
‘In times like this, we have to come out stronger.’
Han Ibi did not avoid eye contact and pushed straight ahead. I felt really proud.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Suddenly, Bok Yeong-jeon burst into laughter.
Everyone in the room looked at Jang Mun-in with wide eyes at this incongruous situation.
Bok Yeongjeon said.
“It’s just as Elder Wu said. The talent is great and the heart is also excellent. Even the shamelessness. But I said… my impatient nature might be the problem. How about it, Elder Wu? “Isn’t this what happened in the end?”
Han Yi-bi looked up at Bok Yeong-jeon in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about.
Fu Yeong-jeon said with an energetic expression towards Wu An-mok.
“Elder Wu. “Although your name is ‘Anmok,’ wasn’t my ‘eyes’ more outstanding this time?”
Uanmok bowed his head and said.
“I feel sorry for causing such controversy due to a narrow view of the matter.”
At that time, Bok Yeong-jeon spoke to Han Yi-bi.
“Song Myeong-cheon. You unfold it. I need to check what level of martial arts I learned by stealing is. If I notice any sign of you acting haphazardly… I will make you feel what it feels like to be trapped for the rest of your life as a skeptic, a fool, and a waste of time. “It makes me regret that it would be better to die.”
Suddenly, the sound of ‘Tiriring’ was heard in Han Ibi’s ears.
Could it be…?
[The passive skill, Black Eyes, has been activated.]
Billion! What is this again? This… a new skill in this situation?
[Surprising Quest: Expand the Cheongseong Sect’s Enchantment Technique.]
[Advice: Each martial art’s fighting skills can be helped through Nganjutsu.]
Han Ibi realized that now was the time for her to step forward.
But how? He calmly checked the status window.
It really was there. A hawk’s head with its eyes wide open.
‘Is that Nganjutsu?’
At that time, I heard Bok Yeong-jeon yelling.
“What are you doing instead of carrying out long orders?”
oh my. grandfather. My ears will drop. I’m listening to everything.
In his haste, he activated the Nangan technique without any hesitation. I saw the whole world turn green.
But strangely enough, I saw a simplified figure in front of me, as if I was playing a first-person game.
You could say it’s like a virtual puppet that goes a little faster than you.
The virtual doll seemed as if it was urging Han Ibi to move.
‘aha! I guess they’re telling me to follow that.’
Han Ibi took a deep breath and stood up. Then, he began to use the internal power he had acquired so far.
Be very gentle so as not to get caught at the source of the true energy.
At the time, adult Song Myeong-cheon must have not been learning proper internal skills.
If done properly, you will be able to create a much more structured scene even if your body movements are somewhat sluggish.
The doll took the initiative and started moving first.
Han Ibi followed suit.
The sleeves fluttered, catching the attention of some elders.
“Ohh!”
Although this is my first time doing martial arts, there is something else I cannot do!
He began to pursue it using the basic principles of martial arts he had learned so far.
Maeho Jangbeop is the basic Jangbeop of Cheongseongpa, created by linking the principles of Insi (3 to 5 a.m.), the most auspicious time of the day, with the tiger of the zodiac sign that it symbolizes.
Because the Maehojangbeop was easy to learn and concise, it was widely used for practice by beginners of the Cheongseong School.
However, there was also a mix of miscellaneous martial arts skills.
Anyway, when Han Ibi saw the first two herbivores, she realized that this symbolized the bravery of a tiger.
The technique of striking with the palm of one’s hand is simple yet powerful. I felt that it contained the principles of orthodox martial arts that were straightforward and rebellious.
‘good. ‘I’m going to try it.’
