Episode 345 A day when I had a normal breakfast.
I have never had a luck meal for this long. It felt like I was dreaming and couldn’t get out of the dream even when I woke up.
Instead, my mind was calm.
After walking on a single-wood bridge for a long time, I found a large hand in an unknown area.
I would have been surprised if it was Buddha’s palm, but it was just my hand. This is because the wound from a nail was visible.
But suddenly the palm rose.
I did not find it strange because I recognized this place as the border of Geumgu Soyo-gong among the realms of martial arts. I looked at my palm with my arms crossed and tried to inject the energy of the wood world into my little finger.
Strangely enough, the huge little finger quickly became covered with the color of wood grain.
“….”
Why do I expect something like this without difficulty? It’s not that surprising. Because it happens inside me anyway.
Naturally, the ring finger was wrapped around a flame.
The fourth finger was engulfed in flames and a pillar of fire rose up.
“Feel so good!”
For a moment I looked around.
The single tree bridge was not visible and the blood vessels were spread out like a map. On the map, the path through which the energy of the wooden world had passed was marked, and now the path made of flames was shining in various places.
Unless you are an idiot, it is not difficult to realize that you are at a very important crossroads.
I looked at the large hand again and saw a golden fighting game wrapped around its middle finger. This cockfight was clearly gray in color.
“…Completing the three actions through the world of wood, salt, and fighting.”
As I looked around, I saw the energy of the cockfight starting from Danjeon and rising from the ground as it headed toward the middle stop. The essence of cockfighting was the power that surged through trees and suppressed fire.
The next level, transcendence, refers to transcending the previous level in the first place. This phenomenon seemed to have occurred because transcending included freely handling the three types of energy.
I glared at the index finger and thumb in question.
“…My life depends on you two.”
The fact that my life is at stake means that I will also have an influence on Hao Wen’s fate. Instead of accepting the burden that was suddenly crushing me, I exhaled and lightened my heart.
This was an imaginary realm, so if I were not careful, a huge long sword could have fallen from the sky and pierced the top of my head.
That’s also the case with each coin.
He had to use this hard-won opportunity to sort out his martial arts skills in order to survive the subsequent fight. Even if my skill level was lower than that of a certain expert, I expected that I would be able to continue the competition somehow as soon as I completed this.
After thinking about it, I came to this conclusion.
There is no need to put the guard’s energy on the index finger. This is because Chogye is the manager of the Mokgye, Yeomgye and Cockfights.
After thinking for a while, I turned around and looked beyond the blood map. After making my decision, I called Wolyeong Mujeonggong from the frozen ground.
In the black darkness, a white beam of light rose into the sky, and soon a specific blood vessel froze and raced towards where I was. When I turned around, a cold wind passed by and my index finger froze white.
‘…Is this right?’
The most important finger for a warrior is the index finger. Maybe it’s just me. I imprinted Wolyeong Mujeonggong on my index finger and then looked at my thumb. The thumb sometimes changes the direction of the sword and sometimes holds its weight. Short, thick and strong. I called upon the power to enter the thumb from the dantian.
Even though I couldn’t see it, there was a roar that tore the sky apart in the distance.
The white brain flag of Baekjeon Tendangong arrived faster than ever and was wrapped around my thumb.
Looking at the huge palm covered in five different colors made me feel both proud and amazed.
I looked at the five elements that soared into the realm of martial arts.
When I woke up from the dream, I was worried that this feeling in my heart would run away. However, since I could see it with my own eyes, I knew I could reach it again at any time.
If you attack by unfolding the five elements at the same time, that is the method of five elements. I thought that it could be used as a grounding technique or with a slightly lower tension than Sun and Moon Light Spring.
Maybe….
Wasn’t it my own fault that I used this while emotionally crushing all the methods and principles? The space between the veins burst, causing blood to flow, and when it was expressed externally, it became a merciless purple color.
The problem is that even the veins in the eyes have burst, making the world look blood-red.
This means that if you practice self-healing techniques at random, it will put a strain on your body. So, it was only when I was faced with a situation that made my eyes turn upside down that my temper flared up and I did it without realizing it, which is also the reason why I didn’t appear at times.
If I handle the five elements freely.
By establishing the empty space of Muhak with my theory, I can go straight to self-discipline.
Is this the way to become a rational self-sufficient person?
So, it could be said that Simdeuk under Manjaeang was a process of studying and organizing the empty techniques of Jashingong.
‘That’s it for today… let’s not overdo it.’
When I quietly opened my eyes and saw the twilight of dawn, I was once again in heaven. I carefully crossed the single-wood bridge all night, but my legs and feet didn’t hurt, but my neck and shoulders were tense.
“….”
The demon and the demon are lying at an angle and sleeping.
The Sword Demon walked from somewhere and put in firewood. Surprisingly, the white-clothed student nearby was still in lotus position with his eyes closed.
I didn’t bother to open my mouth because the white-robed student hadn’t returned from the single-tree bridge. The temperature had dropped significantly, but when the Sword Demon revived the bonfire, warmth immediately rushed in.
I made it my mindset not to be greedy.
It was such an important moment.
Strangely enough, is it just a feeling that the Sword Demon looks so peaceful?
I focused only on my breathing for a moment and looked at the sword demon and the white-robed student.
Suddenly, he made eye contact with the Sword Demon and nodded once. The Sword Demon read my expression and smiled and nodded once. It was the look in my eyes that I realized I had achieved something.
“Huh…”
Suddenly, the white-robed student next to me let out a long sigh. My eldest brother and I looked at the white-robed student. This guy moved his hands as if he were condensing the internal energy scattered throughout his body into a dantian, and then let out a long breath again. Then, white steam rose from the top of the white-robed student’s head, and his entire body was engulfed in a haze. This guy also seemed to have crossed the single-tree bridge and stepped into the next area.
Is the white-robed student lucky or are we lucky?
I was also confused because it was my first time attending such a joint group training camp camp event.
Suddenly, the white-robed student opened his eyes and looked at the Sword Demon and me, then gazed at the dawn sky.
“…Is it morning?”
Only then did the Sword Demon open his mouth.
“Third, white coat. Congratulations! “It seems like the two of you achieved something special last night.”
I also looked at the white-robed student and congratulated him.
“Congratulations on the title.”
The white-robed student tilted his head and asked.
“What happened?”
The Sword Demon looked at me.
“Third, his whole body was engulfed in five colors at dawn. Each one was wood, fire, water, and thunder, but I couldn’t tell them in between. “It had a gray vibe.”
I nodded.
“It was probably a cockfight.”
The white student asked.
“You were engulfed in five colors? There was a phenomenon of five energy trillion won.”
I had heard of Ogi Jowon, but due to my lack of knowledge about orthodox martial arts, I could not figure out exactly what it meant.
“What is Ogijowon?”
The white student said.
“It means a specific level. Usually, according to old martial arts, Ogijowon is placed side by side with Samhwachwijeong, and in some martial arts, the superiority and inferiority of the two are divided, but in my opinion, it is not very meaningful. “You can think of it as just a different flowering period depending on your martial arts and internal skills.”
“Right.”
Anyway, it touched my heart because it seemed like it was telling me not to worry. I don’t want to worry about what is logically right or wrong. And there can be no past martial arts that accurately defines my physical condition. What kind of crazy person would learn the martial arts of yin and yang and even master the brain energy while swallowing heavenly jade? Because I was the only one, I didn’t want to have to adapt my old martial arts skills to the current situation.
The white robe student continued.
“Moreover, most of the Five Elements mention Geummoksuhwato, and I have never heard of a case like Munju that is linked to Mokhwasuhwato. So this is…”
The white-robed student looked at me blankly.
“If only we could organize and transmit martial arts, it means that Munju has already become a great master of the clan. “There may be similar martial arts, but there will be nothing like the martial arts you perform.”
As the conversation continued, the color demon and the demon demon also woke up.
In any case, even though Jeomsoi became the Grand Master of the Japanese clan without any academic qualifications, I had no special feelings.
I guess I just feel like that.
Actually, becoming the Grand Master of a Japanese clan is not important.
Because simply surviving is more important. Those who want to kill me won’t let me live just because I became the Grand Master of a clan.
The color demon asked the sword demon with a sleepy expression.
“The third child became the Grand Master of the Japanese clan overnight?”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“That’s what Muje said. “Then it would be correct.”
The demon looked me up and down and said.
“The country bumpkin is amazing. congratulations.”
The demon also smiled and said in a half-asleep state.
“Congratulations on your third birthday.”
Actually, there are people who are awkward and don’t know how to react to compliments, and that’s me.
“…It doesn’t suit me to be a Grand Master.”
Sword Demon said.
“I think Unjedo’s accomplishments last night were great. “Isn’t that right?”
The white-clothed student nodded with an expression as if he was reminiscing about last night’s dream.
“not bad.”
Suddenly, we followed the traces of sunlight streaming down the dark canyon, moved our heads, and looked up at the sky. Dawn was breaking.
The color demon muttered.
“I also had a huge fight last night.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“He had a short breakfast and slept shivering all night.”
I looked at the Sword Demon again. Now that I think about it, it seems that the disciple was away all night and the Sword Demon was putting the wood on fire. If you share warmth with someone, will that person also become peaceful? The atmosphere in Geomma was much calmer than last night.
The color demon said.
“I walked on a snowy field all night in my dreams.”
We looked at each other’s faces and asked the demon.
“Is that the end?”
The demon nodded.
“Surprisingly, that’s the end. “I just walked in the snow all night.”
The Sword Demon asked.
“It is difficult for others to determine because one’s heart is unique to oneself. “What do you think?”
The demon thought carefully and then answered.
“…I think they just tell us to hold on. Until you get used to the terrible pain of the cold itself.”
“There was no exit?”
“yes.”
I realized once again that we were discussing martial arts. I feel fortunate to be able to share stories about martial arts that are difficult to explain in words. To those who had not learned martial arts, these words were almost like crazy nonsense. We looked at the demon who was just listening in silence.
It’s all because I thought there might have been a chance to gain inspiration or break through the realm last night.
The demon said with a shocked expression.
“I guess everyone expects something from me…”
“That’s right.”
“I didn’t see any strange dreams or visions. However, after finishing the fortune-telling breakfast, I thought about eating one plant all night long. Should I call it a season?”
I asked.
“What is it?”
The demon answered.
“Well, it’s nothing special. “I was just thinking about the season that uses sword wind and sword energy at the same time.”
The white-robed student looked at the demon demon.
“Why did you worry about that season?”
The demon said while looking at the white-robed student.
“Suddenly, it occurred to me that if I wanted to deflect the chopsticks flying from beside me with the sword wind and cut the enemy in front of me with the sword, I had no choice but to spread them out at the same time. The sword wind is trained to be able to emit energy waves and cutting postures, and the sword energy is emitted from the sword. To be exact, it is energy wave and sword energy, but I thought that if I refine my level, I could use it as sword wind and sword energy at the same time… This is a bit confusing.”
I looked at the demon with my arms crossed.
“Are you okay?”
So, the season that the ghost demon was thinking of was a season that was designed because of the surprise attack of the White Clothed Scholar. If the chopsticks had been aimed at a demon, it would have been the demon that died at that moment, not the ghost.
I asked the white coat student for help.
“Baek looks like he has some advice to give?”
The white-robed student looked at the demon demon.
“It’s a trick.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a trick.”
“First of all, when practicing sword technique, practice by stepping on the true leg. If a pile of rocks or dirt rises and sends it out as an air wave, the effect will be somewhat similar to that of a sword wind. Once you get used to it, unfold it without stepping on the edge. Once you get used to it, you can mix forwards and retreats with your walking techniques. Are you going to move forward and unfold the seasons that Yukhap mentioned? Are you going to unfold it as you step back? Or will you hide your body like a cloud for a moment due to the advance? “The number of choices will automatically increase.”
I opened my eyes automatically. Depending on the interpretation, this became a lecture as if a white-robed scholar had given a sword technique as a gift.
“Good?”
The white student said.
“You are unusual in that you place a great deal of importance on defense when thinking about swordsmanship. More than half of effective defense is actually footwork. “You know that even the simplest sword technique becomes complicated when you add footwork to it.”
The white-robed scholar was suggesting the direction of swordsmanship that the demon should practice in the future.
The Demon Demon seemed to have accepted the White Clothes Student’s teachings as he nodded and was lost in thought.
I looked around at the increasingly brighter sky and spoke to my companions.
“Let’s rest for a while and then eat without any obstacles. “People can’t live by taking only elixirs.”
There was no one who really opposed my opinion. I forgot something, so I asked the Sword Demon.
“Has the eldest brother achieved anything?”
We all looked at the Sword Demon. Now that I think about it, I was curious about the fate of the sword demon who shared the rare elixir.
The Sword Demon looked around at us and spoke in a calm tone.
“There was none.”
I was a little disappointed, but the Sword Demon’s mood had changed slightly, so I asked what I felt.
“But why are you smiling so heartily? Does it make you laugh? What’s funny? Let’s laugh together.”
The Sword Demon sighed briefly and looked around at us.
“It’s been a long time since I had a regular breakfast.”
“….”
“It was a fortune-telling breakfast that was neither tormented by spirits nor heard any wailing. I built up some strength while breathing. I opened my eyes, but the stars were still visible at night, and each of you were having a good luck breakfast. After that, nothing happened all night. It was cold at dawn and I watched the sun rise in the morning. “All of this is an ordinary day… but to be honest, it’s quite surprising. This is not a feat of martial arts.”
The Sword Demon looked around at us.
“It’s a coincidence of life.”
The eldest brother’s comments were calm, but I couldn’t help but laugh.
