Episode 1147 I did everything I had to do. (2)
Calm.
It is difficult to see a large group of dancers gathered in a large training hall, but the sight of so many people sitting cross-legged and praying at the same time was an incomparably rare sight.
‘That’s fascinating.’
Tang Gunak looked at the monks practicing fortune telling with a new feeling.
To those who don’t know the lives of Kanghoin, it may just be a curious sight, but for those who understand the characteristics of Kanghoin, it is bound to be a sight with special meaning.
Basically, fortune-telling is performed in a secret place, avoiding the eyes of others. reason? It’s so simple. This is because warriors are most vulnerable when performing fortune-telling techniques.
Even if you normally break a rock with a single blow or jump over a river with a single step, even a kick from a child can put you in a state of confusion while you are practicing fortune telling.
Therefore, warriors tend not to show their luck, even to their own siblings. Just as a wild animal seeks out a secret den, it is almost an instinct to not let others see when you are vulnerable.
But now, here, countless people are practicing fortune-telling in the training hall with everyone watching.
‘Because there was an order?’
No way. If it were normal people, no matter how much Tanggunak’s orders or Cheongmyeong’s orders were given, they would have gone to a quiet place holding a spiritual altar. At least he would have gone into his own place and prayed.
The fact that such people are casually practicing fortune telling in this large training hall means that they no longer regard those around them as a threat.
‘You never know.’
Tanggunak shook his head.
The word trust is such a strange word.
There is no one who does not know that mutual trust is important. Those who lead a sect all want their disciples to build trust among each other. That is why he established a hierarchy among his disciples through numerous etiquettes and tried to fairly determine right and wrong between them through numerous regulations.
However, trust is not easily built. Even if they act like they trust each other on the outside, people make different choices at critical moments.
‘If I had done the same thing in the Tang family, would everyone really have had this much luck?’
You already know the answer.
So, I didn’t know. The only thing they have done together so far is fight like crazy, pick on each other, and join forces to fight against the lords.
Wasn’t there even room for human interaction to come and go? But what on earth did they believe that made them trust each other and show off even their most vulnerable parts without hesitation?
Tang Gunak glanced back at Cheongmyeong.
Every time this happens, I realize it again. The fact that the Hwasan Sword Association is seeing something that he cannot see. When will we be able to see what that person is seeing?
“Why are you doing this?”
“I’m just a little upset.”
“yes?”
“….”
“Your personality has deteriorated a bit. “Have you improved compared to the past?”
“Grunt.”
Tanggunak shook his head. If only I could do something about that mentality, it would be perfect.
‘Anyway, it’s a good thing.’
It was a long, long way back, but this scene seemed to speak to him. The ‘relationship’ between Cheonwoomaeng and Cheonwoomaeng, which the Hwasan Sword Association put so much effort into creating, is now slowly being established.
“But you did a great job creating a spiritual altar to feed all those children.”
“Hmph. “That…”
Cheongmyeong scratched his chin.
“Actually, it’s not a proper spiritual group. There is an appropriate amount of every spirit. However, due to a lack of ingredients, we had to reduce the size, and the effect would not be even half that of eating proper perilla seed.”
“You mean one-fifth of it?”
“Hmm… it could be a little less than that.”
“Did I say that this Jasodan was made better than before?”
“yes. So, we can look forward to at least one-fifth of it.”
Cheongmyeong sighed deeply.
“You have to feed them well to fight well.”
“…You always do things that others can’t even dream of and criticize yourself for not being good enough. “You’re too hard on yourself.”
“It’s not that it’s harsh on me, it’s just that the situation we’re in is harsh. “But you can’t just give it up just because it wasn’t enough, right?”
“It’s hard to refute that.”
Most people focus on the results of their work. However, Cheongmyeong only confirms how close he is to reaching his goal.
Watching it from the side sometimes gives me chills.
Tang Gunak thought it was fortunate that he did not meet Cheongmyeong as an enemy again.
“Anyway…”
A sigh escaped his lips.
“It’s a great thing from Maeng’s point of view, but from my point of view, it’s not something I welcome.”
“hmm? why?”
“Even if it’s one-fifth, isn’t Yeongdan still Yeongdan? In particular, one-fifth of Hwasan Jasodan would be equivalent to the visionary spiritual altar of most sects…”
Tanggunak made an uncharacteristically groaning sound.
“Your strength will increase and your stamina will improve, but you have to deal with guys like that.”
It was something that was hoped for, that the children would become closer to each other and become stronger through spiritual training, but from the perspective of controlling such children, it was not something that was just welcomed.
I was so exhausted from dealing with children who had not taken spiritual tablets that I fell to the ground and fell asleep, so how could I deal with those who had taken spiritual tablets?
“no way. You don’t have to worry about anything. “I took care of the matriarch’s things separately.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong rummaged through his chest and took out a well-wrapped altar.
“I prepared it with the most effective part. “The head of the family, the palace lord, and Sobaek.”
Tanggunak stared intently at the spiritual altar held in Cheongmyeong’s hands. It was a proper self-portrait that was different in size from the ones distributed to children.
“This…”
“Don’t tell me to give more to the kids for no reason.”
“In the past, I would have said something like that to save face, but I’m not in a position to save face like that right now.”
“I’ll take care of this for you, so you can eat it separately for dinner tonight. “Ah, the elders’ ones are a bit small, but I prepared them.”
It was definitely clear in this respect.
“…for a moment. Me and the two palace lords? Then… the Green Forest King…”
“Shh.”
Cheongmyeong looked around, put his index finger to his mouth and whispered.
“Take care of it and eat it where no one can see. “Did you know?”
“….”
“It gets annoying when a greedy Sapa bastard rushes in.”
Tang Gunak turned his head and looked at Lim So-byeong, who was praying for fortune.
It was quite bizarre to see him grinning while cheering as if he was happy that he had received a spiritual order, but looking at Lim So-byeong like that, a feeling of pity flooded my heart.
‘How did he happen to be born in Sapa…’
Or more precisely, how did he who was born in Sapa meet Cheongmyeong…
Knowing Cheongmyeong’s deep-rooted hatred of Sapa that cannot be cured, Tanggunak deeply holds the spiritual gift he received without saying anything. I saved it.
“…I understand.”
“Yes hehe.”
Cheongmyeong turned his head and looked at those who were praying.
“I guess it’s time for it to end.”
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Wooooow.
Nangong Daowi, who had been sinking and sinking deep inside, pushed his energy up to Baekhoehyeol. The energy that penetrated the air vein surged upward and upward all at once. Like a dragon ascending to heaven.
Couuuuuuuuck!
At the same time, a sound like a large bell ringing echoed inside my head.
Black, dead blood flowed from Nangung Dowi’s nose and mouth. It is not an internal injury, but the turbid substances that have been damaged by long training are being discharged out of the body along with the dead blood.
‘again!’
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
The energy surging once again hit his back and caused a spectacular explosion. The energy that spread throughout the body created a vitality that cannot be fully explained in words.
“Huh…”
Nangong Daowi slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, what he saw was Cheongmyeong watching them from the front with his back turned.
‘It had to be this time.’
It seems like the energy overflowing inside my body speaks for itself. This means that if you had taken this spiritual tablet before starting training, it would have been impossible to see the same effect as you do now.
The medicinal effect of Yeongdan increases internal strength. But there is something more important than that. The moment you take the Spiritual Dan, you have the opportunity to utilize great energy that you would never be able to use normally.
What is important is how to make the most of that genius opportunity.
Those who constantly fight and fight and become aware of their limitations and shortcomings instinctively know how to use that energy.
‘One wall has been overcome.’
I don’t know how much more time it would have taken if it weren’t for Youngdan’s help. The spiritual advice given at the right time shortened the time drastically. This was such a feat that I felt like the newly built up power inside my body was not that big of a deal.
He stood up with a face full of confidence. An extremely clear light poured out of both eyes.
And not long after he got up, the party leader also stood up. His face was also not much different from Namgung Dowi.
another one. And one more thing.
One by one, those who were sitting cross-legged got up from their seats. And before half a hour had passed, all those who had heard the fortune rose and lined up at the scene.
Of course, their gaze was directed to Cheongmyeong in front.
I didn’t know what to say, but I knew for sure who they should be looking at at this moment.
Cheongmyeong nodded loudly, receiving everyone’s attention.
Everyone smiled confidently under his sharp eyes.
Cheongmyeong opened his mouth.
“First of all…”
“….”
“Woo!”
“…huh?”
Cheongmyeong suddenly felt nauseous and took a step back, holding his nose.
“…Go take a shower, please…”
Everyone flinched and looked at their bodies. The clothes had turned black because the waste that came out of the pores had stuck and congealed.
“Uh…”
“Keu. “What is this smell?”
“Wow!”
Only then do people who smell the foul odor coming from their bodies begin to groan here and there.
Tanggunak solemnly covered his nose with one hand and raised his voice loudly.
“…Go to the river. hurry!”
“….”
“Oh, go!”
Those who had been expecting something great ran toward the Yangtze River with embarrassed faces.
And over the next few days, people living in the Yangtze River basin suffered from stomachache en masse. As a result, there was a minor problem that officials investigated to see if it was a sign of a plague…
but anyway, the Yangtze River just flowed freely.
