Episode 59. Sohae-a Introductory Instruction (小孩兒入門指導)
Han Ibi was even humming a song in the hope that she would be able to gain talent while wasting her energy-consuming Nganjutsu on such a meaningless task.
– The basic method of clearing the mind
– The mindset of a
martial artist –
I started looking through books that seemed useless or that I would not find, as much as possible, to help me become a strongman, but there was no result.
After a while or so, the books I looked into piled up, but there was little gain.
‘Ah sssssssssssssssssss. Did I guess wrong? Why am I like this these days? I guess I lost my senses.’
The consumption of internal power gradually increased.
Han Yi-bi gave up everything and put down Nganjutsu.
My vision returned to full color. Rather, this felt more awkward.
At that time, there was a book that caught my eye.
– Introduction to Sohae Children’s Guide (小孩兒入門指導)
What?
Early education is something that is important regardless of country or era.
It was never strange for promising young children to enter the martial arts sects.
So there is no doubt that a book like this exists.
However, what caught Han Ibi’s eye was the mark that had been forcefully erased.
When I looked at it closely, it looked like the word ‘shaman’ had been erased.
Bok Yeon-hwa spent most of her life in a shaman faction, but she never left a mark on the shaman faction.
Therefore, it is impossible for her to come out with a book belonging to a shaman.
‘Something smells fishy.’
Han Ibi picked up the book attached to the far end of the floor.
And I slurped through the pages.
Well… it was ordinary.
How to teach mental discipline to young children. At what age is sparring effective? What effect does strength training have on growth, etc.
Han Ibi was disappointed and tried to put the book back.
‘But why is the back so fat…’
I felt something strange.
Han Ibi opened the book again.
The book had a silk cover. However, as time passed, it became loose and the inside was easily exposed even if it was pulled just a little.
‘okay. There is something! Oh yeah.’
Han Ibi began to look through the contents.
Then I felt a mixture of surprise and disappointment all at once.
This was by no means something like a privilege or a privilege…
It was a memorandum written by Bok Yeon-hwa in his youth.
Looking at the finely written text, it was clear that they had tried to save space as much as possible.
That’s because it’s better to hide it.
Hanibi slurped again and began to look through the contents.
There were detailed records of the life of a shaman studying abroad.
– …Tak’s brother is a great and wonderful man, but he just feels like his older brother. Nothing more, nothing less.
People are whispering behind our backs that we could be helpmates, but I’m not sure. I don’t even want to do that.
But maybe one day it will happen. How will everything in the world go as planned…
Han Ibi was so shocked at this part that her eyes popped out.
He clearly accessed Song Myeong-cheon’s body and saw the situation.
Bok Yeon-hwa pretended not to know anything, but in reality, she was thinking deeply about her relationship with Tak Bu-yong.
I can’t believe it…
‘What a fox-like old lady… She had these thoughts on the inside, but acted foolishly on the outside as if she didn’t know anything. ‘I was fooled too!’
Han Ibi turned the pages some more.
The notes were kept about a week apart.
Surprisingly, the memorandum also contained a story about the time when Bok Yeon-hwa briefly returned to the Cheongseong faction with Tak Buyong and others.
So… she always carried this memorandum with her.
– …I returned to Cheongseong Sect today. My heart feels like it’s going to explode. Returning to my hometown after such a long time can be said to be truly cozy.
I want to come back. I want to come back. I want to come back here so much that I die.
I want to grow old here with my loving family and my brother-in-law. I want to enjoy time together without worrying about anything.
But I know very well that I cannot do that. I am in the Shaman faction because it is the way for my father and the disciples.
Even today, my father told me to devote myself to the independent faction. Should I now break my stubbornness and surrender to the shaman faction?…
Or should I really marry Brother Tak…
Ah. I can’t sleep because of all these thoughts…
Then there were records added at some intervals. It’s not that I haven’t, I guess I really couldn’t sleep.
– …It seems like the Cheongseong faction’s situation is difficult. So far, only one priest has come in.
Although they are close in age, their actions are extremely immature. The sight of his face scrunched up and stuttering from the beginning… really…
the note was cut off there.
Ibi Han remembers.
Song Myeong-cheon said to Bok Yeon-hwa that she was really pretty. It’s like a fairy who came down from the sky…
‘I see. That remark… was the seed of the unfortunate and sad relationship between these two people. So, they say people should be careful about what they say….’
Even though she couldn’t find the origin, Han Ibi felt even more intrigued and searched through the memorandum even more.
‘What… what is this…’
The writing of Song Myeong-cheon was vague at first…
about halfway…
and by the time I left the Cheongseong faction, it was almost all over the place.
The master had completely captured her heart.
This memorandum clearly revealed the sorrowful feelings of a young and beautiful woman who had to treat Song Myeong-cheon only as a priest and good friend.
Moreover, she ends up moving away after a while. There was no promise of when he would return….
The overwhelming fear of separation remained like fossils here and there in the memorandum.
There are bruises here and there…
She must have cried a lot while writing this memorandum.
Suddenly, Han Ibi became angry and burst into tears.
‘this! I thought they were two stupid and innocent people, but it turns out that the only one who was stupid was our master. I gave a lot of hints like this. Whew! ‘What should I do if I break a woman’s heart like this?’
Although a lot of time had passed, Han Ibi was a little anxious, but she couldn’t help but turn the next page.
It was so much fun that it couldn’t even be compared to things like ‘Anne’s Diary’ or ‘War Diary’.
– …Now the day to leave is not far away, but Myeongcheon is confined to a place called Jeolpangok (折坂谷), training, and does not return for more than twenty days.
I need to gain his heart…
I asked him to tell me where it is before I leave, but he laughed and said it was a secret…
The moon is so bright that it stings my eyes, but my heart is suffering, suffering, suffering…
Ah… Really…
Master is a complete idiot.
Han Ibi almost cursed at the dead person without realizing it.
‘If they had taken care of themselves before all these evil forces broke out, the situation wouldn’t have gotten to this point and the two of them… hmm…’ Of
course, her father, Jang Moon-in, would not have left her alone.
I’m curious.
Han Ibi couldn’t easily guess what was right.
It was then.
I started hearing noises from outside. You can also hear a conversation with So Eun-ri.
‘It’s Elder Bok!’
Han Ibi began hastily putting a silk cover on the memorandum.
The door to the library
suddenly opened.
Han Ibi felt her heart pounding.
Like a person who has committed theft.
As soon as she came in, Han Ibi was able to put the ‘Sohae Introductory Guide’ back in place.
‘Whew.’
Han Ibi said with a smile.
“Elder, are you here?”
Bok Yeon-hwa answered.
“okay.”
However, her eyes were staring at the exact same spot where Han Ibi had inserted it last time.
‘Yes? ‘Elder Bok wouldn’t have seen me touch this book…’
While thinking, Han Yi-bi also glanced back at the book.
‘omg!’
At that moment, Han Ibi felt as if her heart was frozen.
So, the book called ‘Introductory Guide to Sohae Children’… was placed ‘upside down’.
So, only that book had a noticeable effect among other books.
Han Ibi felt cold sweat running down her back.
‘Shit. It’s really freaking cold sweat. That’s why I was in such a cold sweat in the novel.’
I could see the repeating fire slowly approaching.
Han Ibi was worried and didn’t know what to do, but when she saw her approaching, she quickly left the place.
Some people say this…
Bok Yeon-hwa stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at it for a moment.
Then, he sat down and took out the book called ‘Introductory Guide to Sohae Children.’
Han Ibi was out of breath.
‘What should I do… should I run away…’
But without saying a word, she spun the book around and pushed it back into the bookshelf.
Of course, straight this time.
‘Ahaha. ‘Do you think Grandma Ha noticed?’
Han Ibi said, thinking that she should do something to break this awkward moment.
“So… I searched hard to see if it was a ‘ghost species’ or a ‘ghost species’, but I couldn’t find it…” “
I found it.”
Yeonhwa Bok spoke in a cold voice.
“yes? “You were looking for a book?”
“okay. found. I lent it to Elder Seo Eui-jae a long time ago, but I forgot about it. “I found out about it while talking at the elders’ meeting today.”
“I see….”
“Yes.”
“All right.”
“Why is the guy who said he knew still standing here?”
Yikes, that’s right.
Han Ibi flinched and smiled awkwardly.
“Ahaha. okay. “I was just waiting to see if the elder would ask me to do anything else.”
“There is a lot of work to do. “There are a lot of things to take care of.”
“yes. okay.”
At that moment, Hanibi suddenly became curious.
Her master missed Bok Yeon-hwa until the moment his life ended…
I am curious as to whether she has completely forgotten the existence of her master.
So I decided to try asking a question at a level that wasn’t too provocative.
“Um…Elder.”
“why?”
“You know what? “Why are they different from each other?”
“By clan?”
“yes. “Why aren’t there quite famous lover swordsmen or married swordsmen in every sect?”
“What kind of idiot are you talking about?”
“Why are they performing such a formidable martial arts attack with their backs to each other…”
Bok Yeon-hwa said, frowning.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“So… hehehe. Elder, didn’t you ever have a dream like that when you were a virgin in the Cheongseong Sect? He wants to pair up with a great bachelor from the Qingcheng faction to take advantage of Gangho…”
“Shut up!”
Yeonhwa Bok interrupted. Seeing that his voice is poisonous, I am angry.
“Seeing you talking nonsense like this must have been too nice of me.”
“no. no. “I was just asking because I was curious.”
“If you’re done with your work, get out quickly. “I will call you again if I need you!”
Her voice was not very loud, but it was filled with deep energy and made this small library resonate very loudly.
If there was a child, he or she would have urinated in shock.
Yeonhwa Bok spoke loudly.
“Didn’t you hear me tell you to get out of here?”
Then Han Ibi said as she walked towards the exit at a brisk pace.
“oh my. All right. Elder. “I won’t ask any useless questions anymore.”
Then, it was time to pull the door handle.
“for a moment!”
Han Ibi was startled and turned her head towards her.
Yeonhwa Bok said with a cold expression.
“If you touch my things without permission from now on, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life.”
Huh…
I know it…
You are too quick-witted to be insensitive…
“Yes. All right. “I will keep the elder’s words in mind.”
“Okay. Now go.”
“yes.”
Han Ibi opened the door, came out, and quickly disappeared as if running away.
