Episode 272 My nickname was once Gwangma, which means
“Mong Lang.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Are you really going to teach Jade Flower Binggong?”
The color demon next to me answered.
“yes. There is no reason why you can’t teach it. I was thinking of teaching my female student anyway. “I feel like it’s too early.”
“Is there a risk that Jade Flower Ice Ball will disappear?”
Each color nodded.
“It’s a martial arts skill that would be a shame to disappear.”
The sword demon continued.
“There is no need to teach Yoran martial arts in earnest. However, since we don’t know what will happen to us, it would be better for Yoran to memorize the martial arts that are at risk of disappearing with us when we disappear from the river.”
“yes.”
After listening to the story of the teacher and student, I found out that Deuksu Jang was right. We were all people who thought about death. Even if it was the sword demon, even the color demon lived with his own end in mind.
So, Geomma’s opinion was to let Yoran remember our martial arts skills, just as students collect the martial arts skills of hundreds of disciples.
The demon agreed.
“It’s not bad.”
The Sword Demon spoke while looking ahead.
“At least the martial arts skills of the four of us will be passed down through Yoran. From what I’ve seen, he’s intelligent enough. First of all, you should make sure to memorize it and then make a promise for the future. If we really kill all of our enemies and they are still alive, then we can teach them with peace of mind. “I won’t force you, so think about it.”
I also expressed my opinion.
“First of all, it would be best to learn only Okhwabinggong. I will teach light martial arts, but other martial arts are vague. “Because even I haven’t been able to organize or complete it.”
If Yoran learns Geumgu Soyogong or Jahasin Gong, there is a very high chance that he will fall into Juhwa Ilma. That’s because I, the person I teach, am a martial arts expert who is prone to martial arts.
It is my usual belief that martial arts can only be passed down through a connection. For some reason, I didn’t think that Yoran was the disciple who would inherit his work.
Saekma sorted out the situation.
“Just do that for now. Whenever I have time, I will slowly teach you, starting with Okhwabinggong.”
“okay.”
I said as soon as I saw the man walking towards Jaha Gaekjan.
“Now there is some good news. “Congratulations on your 6th birthday.”
“huh?”
Geum Cheol-yong and Kwak Yong-gae, who had appeared for the first time in a while, were approaching, holding two boxes at each side.
Geum Cheol-yong smiled brightly.
“It’s been a while, Moonju.”
“Mr. Geum, welcome. “Please come too, Vice Ark.”
As soon as Geumcheolyong arrived, he put down a long box on the floor and bowed to the Sword Demon.
“long time no see.”
“Welcome to the Ark.”
Geumcheolyong cleared his throat and said as he took out a long sword from the box.
“Suddenly, a stranger came to visit and asked me to pass on this. It’s the Mohist longsword I promised. So, it will be the Yukhap Sword that I will hand over to Teacher Yukhap.”
The demon got up from his seat and approached Geumcheolyong.
I woke up together.
“It’s a Mohist sword.”
The demon who received the sword from Geumcheolyong could not hide his happy expression. It was as if he had received the best thing in the world as a gift.
The demon said.
“Thank you for personally bringing me the golden ark.”
“Not much to say…it’s not difficult.”
The entire sword had a suppressed ink color, and just by looking at it, you could tell that it was not an ordinary long sword.
When the Sword Demon, who was very interested in swords, came over to take a look, the Ghost Demon touched the six-layer sword and held it out to the Sword Demon.
“Take a look at your eldest brother.”
The Sword Demon nodded and slowly looked at the six-pointed sword before pulling it out of its scabbard. Although it was ink-colored on the outside, the blade had a dazzling silver sheen.
The Sword Demon gave a rare smile and nodded, as if he had obtained his own sword.
“excellent.”
The Sword Demon holstered the sword and handed it back to the Demon Demon. The demon was smiling so brightly that it was rare to see it, but he couldn’t express it well in words. After leaving the ghost, who seemed to have reunited with her lover, alone for a moment, I asked the Yonggae vice-lord.
“What is that box, Vice Ark?”
“This is also a gift from Mohist.”
“hmm?”
When Yonggae Buakju opened the box, there were daggers of the same shape lying side by side in the elongated box.
Vice Ark said.
“I said it would be difficult to give just a sword as a gift, but I was giving you a sword used in Mohism. “A total of five.”
I was amazed just by looking at it.
“These are things that cannot be put into value.”
“Why did they send five sacks?”
The demon who was looking inside the box answered.
“Since Yoran is one of the five great evildoers, he must have sent five sacks.”
No one laughed at the horseman’s words. I wondered why there were only five daggers in the large box, and next to them were leather strips that could hold the daggers. It appeared to be a leather belt wrapped around the upper body.
I handed out the dagger and leather belt to the sword demon, demon demon, and color demon, and kept a pair for myself separately.
“Uncle Gold, Bu Ark. “Please eat and then go.”
“Well, really? “It’s been a while since I got to eat Deuksu’s food.”
The four of us were all awkward at entertaining guests, but it was nice to be able to receive a decent meal from Deuksu if we let him in. It feels like Deuksu is making up for our shortcomings. As the situation progressed like this, Deuksu’s words stayed in my heart even more.
What I’m saying is to think about living a short and long life…
In fact, it’s a way of life I’ve never thought about before. This is because Kang-ho was the one who had to overcome the danger of death even for a man like an open ark.
I got up to re-gift what I had received.
“I’m going to visit the five evil candidates.”
The devil asked from behind.
“who?”
“Moyongbaek.”
“aha.”
I paused for a moment and looked at the Four Major Villains. I called Mo Yongbaek one of the five great evildoers, but no one responded much.
The color demon muttered again.
“I think Yoran might be a little upset that there was a candidate?”
Now that I see this crazy bastard, he is the kind of guy who won’t talk to me all day when Yoran is away.
How did it end up like that?
I do not know.
When I thought about it, Yoran used to call me a great type, but in reality, the person who taught the most important martial arts would be a dirty demon.
So, is he a great brother and a master?
Ah, why is the genealogy of the wicked so messed up? It seemed like Yoran needed to call Senior Geomma “Josajim” again.
* * *
“Lord Moon.”
“huh.”
“What is that?”
I put down the Mohist sword and leather belt on Mo Yongbai’s desk.
“I received it from a member of the Mohist family. It will be long to explain, but just accept it. It’s a great weapon. “If you are involved in a powerhouse, you must have a dagger in your chest.”
“Lord Wen, so if it is Mohism… it is the Mohism of a hundred disciples. In other words, it’s a gift from a student?”
“that’s right.”
“I received the martial arts training I am currently learning from a white robe student. “You also received the dagger from a scholar.”
“I see?”
Mo Yongbaek sighed for a moment and then spoke to me.
“From now on, please call me Moyong Seosaeng. “Let me take a look at your arm.”
I took off the bandage and held out my arm.
“It will all be better. “I don’t even have that tickling feeling anymore.”
Mo Yong-baek brought the disinfectant he used every time, dipped a medical brush into the disinfectant and then applied it to the wound. I had been to various clinics in my past life, but Mo Yong-baek’s medical department and props were unique, so I was amazed every time I saw them.
“I don’t need to wear bandages anymore.”
I nodded.
“Is Yayul-yeon adjusting well?”
“You adapt quickly. I am especially close with black and white cows. “What about Yoran?”
“I had no choice, so I made everyone my disciple. Deuksu hyung was subtly pressuring me.”
Mo Yongbaek looked at my expression and eyes and said this.
“You feel burdened.”
“that’s right.”
“It’s the happiest burden in the world.”
“why?”
“My master is Master of Swordsman Yukhap, Lord Wen, and Confucius Mong. Will he grow up to be an ordinary woman? If you teach them well, your last years will be comfortable for Yoran. “You have to feel that kind of pressure.”
This guy was passing the burden on to me very naturally, but I’m not that easygoing guy.
“It looks like Mengrang has chosen to be Binggong’s successor. They say it was originally a martial art suitable for women to learn.”
“Is that so?”
“I teach light attack and six-pack teaches sword.”
“What about Sword Demon Senior?”
“well. Isn’t existence itself a teaching? You will learn the darkness of the world. Living is such a serious thing. “You can learn a lot just by looking at Senior Sword Demon’s expression.”
Mo Yongbaek burst out laughing, then quickly cleared his throat.
“Oh, I suddenly started laughing.”
I sighed and then continued speaking.
“…by the way.”
“yes.”
“I don’t know if Yoran can hold out. Ice attack, light attack, and swordsmanship… I know this because I have experienced Juhwa Ilma, but if you teach it slowly, nothing will happen.”
Mo Yongbaek said in a passing tone.
“If I find a suitable elixir, I will give it to Yoran.”
I responded right away and started a counterattack.
“Will you do so? “Thank you.”
Mo Yongbaek suddenly looked at me.
“….”
“why?”
“Oh no.”
“If you have already made up your mind, please ask for an elixir that will help with ice attack. Later, I will visit near Hyeolya Palace and feed Woldanhwa. If this continues, won’t our student become the best in the world? Now that I think about it, even students probably have disciples. “I can’t be pushed around by the disciples of those crazy people.”
Mo Yongbaek looked at the desk blankly and asked me.
“Well… Lord Moon.”
“huh?”
“When can I leave to get the elixir?”
“I’m not telling you to go now. “Please come when it’s not busy.”
“I am busy every day.”
“Right.”
“Speaking of the elixir, Lord Moon, do you know where the elixir is usually located?”
“I don’t know.”
Mo Yongbaek took out a piece of paper, spread it out on the floor, and said while dipping a brush in ink.
“Usually… it’s in a place where no one can reach.”
“I guess so.”
Mo Yongbaek drew a straight line on the paper.
“This kind of wilderness is also a place where no one travels. But elixirs are rare in the wilderness. This is because it is literally barren and lacks the nutrients that elixirs need. So, where is a place that is untouched by people and rich in nutrients?”
I listened seriously to Mo Yongbaek’s feng shui geography.
“Valley? “Ongdal Spring deep in the mountains.”
“You can say that most valleys have been robbed by Kang Ho-in.”
“ridge?”
“You know something. A well-grounded ridge allows you to enjoy sunlight during the day and the moon at night, and unless there is a mountain path, it is rare for people to visit. However, what you can get from these places is reishi or wild ginseng. “It’s too low-level to be called an elixir.”
“Where do you want to be?”
“I obtained a map, looked at it, and went to a place where the elixir might be located. But some places we couldn’t even try. “It certainly seems like there are no people around and the environment is suitable for the elixir.”
“Where?”
“Well, there are many places, but for now, Manjae is the most likely.”
“hmm.”
“There are several snowy mountains that are covered with snow all year round, but they are too far away. But it is worth a visit. However, my light attack skills are beyond my reach. “Once you go down, it’s a problem, but you can’t come back up either.”
“yes.”
I know this because I too have thrown myself into all obstacles. There was no problem in falling down, but climbing back up was beyond the skill of an average expert.
Anyway, I felt strange when the name Manjae came up. This is because I remember it as vividly as if I had jumped off a cliff just yesterday.
I muttered as I thought about what happened there one by one.
“…You had a disability.”
“Lord Moon, is it possible with your light attack skills? “What about other people?”
This is how I was attacked by Mo Yongbaek.
“Senior Sword Demon and I are fully capable. I don’t know about Mong Lang. Six packs are a bit too much. But are you sure?”
Mo Yongbaek began to draw Manjae with a brush.
“It looks like this when seen from a distance. It’s a completely closed canyon. The depth cannot be measured with the naked eye, and the north and south are blocked. The further down you go, the wider it gets. If this is the case, there must be a lake made of stagnant water… What are you thinking so deeply about?”
Mo Yongbaek looked at me.
After coming out of my thoughts, I admitted defeat.
“I guess I’ll have to go myself. “I know the way, so there’s no need for you to go.”
“I’ll give you some little information on finding the elixir. When would you like to go?”
When I thought about it, I ended up taking on the task of finding the elixir.
“I need to get ready and go. “Please make some poison to put on my dagger.”
“Poison?”
“Don’t be too harsh. With a poison that has a paralyzing effect. The Mohists sent five daggers. Me, the Sword Demon, the Six Hap Demon, and you shared it. Poison worth applying here.”
“Why are you suddenly using poison? “As word spreads, notoriety only increases.”
“are you okay. I already have a reputation for being vicious, so I don’t mind the added notoriety. I will do whatever it takes to live a long, thin life. I’ve been feeling it lately, that whenever I get out of Ilyanghyeon, I’m fighting. Very fascinating. If you go all the way, the trembling beggars will stick to you again. “I have to prepare my mind and leave.”
Additionally, it was necessary to practice making poison for Moyongbaekdo in advance.
I have no intention of living a long, thin life.
If possible, I hope that in the future, the five great evildoers from previous lives will gather at Jaha’s guesthouse in their old form and tear off Deuksu’s brother’s pork bone. It would be perfect if I could listen to Yoran nag next to him.
Mo Yongbaek answered.
“All right. It will take some time. “I have to get the ingredients first.”
“Until then, I also have to eat breakfast and get ready.”
“But even if you find an incredibly good elixir, do you plan on giving it to Yoran without any hesitation? “Isn’t elixir like a famous sword that is difficult to obtain for powerful people?”
“that’s right. But I have to give it to you.”
“Why?”
“I am already strong. I cannot bridge the gap with the experts above me with just one elixir. This is my way. If I had been greedy for each and every one of those things, those devilish evildoers wouldn’t have gathered in the guesthouse. If you want to go further than you are now, you just need more stories. “You have to live to find out who is really right.”
I looked at Mo Yongbaek.
“Wouldn’t there be no regrets if I lived like this? “I’ll give the elixirs to my disciple and I’ll have more fortune-telling breakfast.”
Actually, I have Heavenly Jade, so I don’t need elixirs. It was just a paving stone for a counterattack laid in advance to move Mo Yongbaek’s heart.
I asked Mo Yongbaek.
“Is the training going well?”
“I also need an elixir. I started learning martial arts late in the day, but it was very difficult. “I have to treat patients, train, and teach new doctors, so I sleep in short bursts.”
“….”
I chanted ‘thin and long’ in my mind as if I was calling to Amitabha Buddha. I tapped Mo Yongbaek on the shoulder and then spoke.
“Good. Yoran also finds the elixir. “If there’s more, I’ll bring your elixir.”
“thank you.”
A strong, troubled man is a swordsman, but now that I think about it, I am a strong, strong man.
You bastard…
I suddenly have this thought.
The fact that my nickname was once Gwangma felt like a long time ago.
Could this be a turning point in life?
Mo Yongbaek, who was looking at me intently, spoke in a worried tone.
“Master Moon, don’t be too pushy. “It’s not good when people suddenly change.”
“That’s right.”
As I looked at Mo Yongbaek once again, I felt the gaze of the poisonous devil that I was familiar with from my previous life pass by. Clearly, there was a man in front of me who showed the basic qualities of a villain, a quality that Yao Ran could not yet dare to surpass.
