Episode 376: Self-destructive merit obtained by dissuading sect.
When I finished Geumgu Soyogong’s fortune-telling breakfast, I felt muscle pain and heat all over my body. But I couldn’t stop just because of the pain. Because I was still submerged in the turbulent waters. Of course, I calmly caught the stream of water with Wolyeong Mujeonggong.
In addition to the muscle pain and heat, I felt chills all over my body.
To be precise, hot flashes and chills were repeated.
It was difficult to tell whether this pain was imaginary or real. Before I knew it, the ocean that had been floating around had frozen over, so my lower body was cold and the top of my head was getting hotter. I had no choice but to start the fortune-telling of Baekjeon Tendanggong. It felt good to be torn apart by hot and cold energy at the same time, but soon my whole body was engulfed in convulsions.
So, if my body wasn’t ready…
Is there no reason to build up my energy in depth?
The fear that I would ascend to heaven took over while I was having a fortune-telling breakfast. Still, my mind was fine. It is right to endure this level of pain. Because there is nothing in this world that can be taken for granted.
If you’re not prepared, does that mean you won’t receive the best gift?
After enduring the heat and chills, I went back to Geumgu Soyogong’s fortune-telling exercise. I decided that if I could prevent a meaningless death by burning my own body, I would eat fortune-telling until I lost my mind. I frowned without realizing it. This is because three types of pain came flooding back. While I was believing that the pain would pass, I heard someone’s voice.
“…it’s hard?”
It was a voice I didn’t know who it was, but I tried to answer.
“This is okay.”
“Why are you speaking informally?”
“Who are you?”
“Open your eyes.”
I opened my eyes during breakfast.
There was sea everywhere.
“….”
I was standing on the endless water, and I saw the owner of the voice ahead. At that moment, a huge pillar rained down from the sky and arrived as if to block the gap between the owner of the voice and me.
From the looks of it, what fell from the sky was the iron bars of a prison. The fallen iron cage surrounded the man in a circle.
As I expected, a man wearing old military uniform was looking at me from behind the prison cell with his back turned. The man looked at me with his forehead against a prison pillar that had fallen from the sky.
“…I didn’t expect you to come visit me so soon. “I’m sure he’s not dead, right?”
It was a senior who took me back to the past.
“I’m not dead yet. long time no see.”
The man touched his ears with his fingers and tilted his head.
“Can not hear clearly. “It looks like your status hasn’t been fully completed yet.”
I noticed through the man’s facial expressions and mouth movements that our communication was not smooth.
The man kept looking at me with his head against the iron bars, and his expression was strange. It felt like he was looking at me strangely, and it also seemed like he was tired of his long life in prison. However, the overall energy in his eyes was one of endless confidence, both past and present.
The man said.
“…I lost a lot of my abilities, so I don’t know how you performed. “Come closer.”
I moved around, splashing in water up to my ankles, and then looked at the man up close.
As I approached, the man laughed.
“Jaha.”
“yes.”
“If you haven’t seen someone for a long time, just seeing them makes you happy. “Whether it is a bad person or a good person.”
I didn’t know what kind of bullshit he was talking about right away, but he was a very grateful man and I talked to him.
“Is that so? “Can I visit you often?”
The man tapped the iron bars with his fingers.
“It can’t happen. Look at this. I just gave permission to visit. Looking at the people around you, it looks like you are standing on the border. When you wake up from this dream, you will forget that you were visiting. “Your expression looks distressed. Were you training?”
“yes.”
“Tell me. “What were you training for?”
“This is Geumgu Soyogong, Wolyeong Mujeonggong, and Baekjeon Ten Dangong.”
The man chuckled.
“You’ve learned a lot of miscellaneous things.”
Even though the situation had gotten to this point, I still laughed.
“That’s right.”
The man looked at me from behind the bars.
“Zahaya, unite as one.”
“how?”
The man said, tapping his temple with his finger.
“You are such a naive guy. How do I know that? It’s happening in your body. You have to solve it. Martial arts must always pursue the return to sect. “There are no exceptions.”
“And then when you die, everything goes to waste.”
The man nodded.
“You are right. “It could be in vain.”
“Do you still try?”
“Don’t you know? You probably know this. Nothing happens if you don’t try. There are times when you have to risk your life to get an answer. “It’s up to you to decide whether what you’re trying to do is worth risking your life for.”
“I’ll try.”
“That’s right. I saw a glimpse of your life the other day. You are not the type of person to stay still. If that were the case, he would have been playing doomsoe somewhere. He wouldn’t have been able to visit me while on the edge like this. I am proud. I have a lot to say, but time is limited. Live brightly. I don’t even regret being punished. I am not a person with regrets. “You…”
While the man was speaking, he disappeared along with the iron bars. I called the man once.
“Master?”
I thought the visit would end like this, but a voice rang out.
“Why am I your master? Just call me brother.”
“older brother? How can I get it out? Hey Brother Mushin?”
The man’s laughter erupted for a long time, and before we knew it, even the laughter had stopped.
I muttered while looking around.
“You are deceiving with your words. How do you put it together? “Who do you think is stupid Jeomsoy?”
It’s clear that he didn’t say this knowing my condition. How do you combine Geumgu, Wolyeong, and Baekjeon? It is a martial art with different paths and different characteristics. During Jeomsoy, I made the most of my little thoughts and came up with something. If merging is impossible, it is correct not to merge. This phenomenon occurred because the power of Heavenly Jade could not be fully absorbed through individual fortune telling.
The only way is through Jahashingong….
I don’t know Jahashingong’s fortune telling system. I don’t know, how did I use it?
Actually, I’m curious about that too.
However, using it means that there was a path through which the inner energy was moved. How can we find out the detailed path of the martial arts performed while in a demonic state?
Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
Even if I don’t know, Heavenly Ok knows…
Because Heavenly Prison’s power moved on its own without me having to specify the path. So, persuasion is an essential law. From beginning to end, all I had to do was keep an open mind and accept it. Even if the drum exploded due to lack of physical strength, it was worth risking one’s life for, as Musin said.
I sat cross-legged again on the churning sea, stopped the fortune-telling of Geumgu Wolyeong Baekjeon, and accepted the flowing stream of Heavenly Jade with my body and mind.
If this was Jeomsoi’s trick…
there would have been no such absurd method of inventing martial arts.
I entrusted my life to the swaying flow of the water. Before I knew it, many of the people I had killed appeared around me and were swimming with me.
Did I look like an asshole?
I grabbed the head of the attacker and threw him under. Before I knew it, I was swept away by a huge stream of water, and while remembering and observing the path that Cheonok was moving, I slapped the cheeks and kicked the guys who were attacking me.
Because I am a man who never forgets, I went down a slide with all kinds of blood vessels.
Once again, it felt like the combined waters were heading towards the sea.
I entrusted my body and mind to the Great Way.
This was a path through which one could carry out one’s own efforts as desired. Only then did the stream of water in Cheonok become quite calm. It was amazing that I did not invent a new martial art, but rather discovered a mastery of an already used martial art.
The water flow calmed down, but I felt like I was being too greedy if I continued to push myself, so I set the level in advance. So, as soon as I conquered God’s Ilseong with the power of Heavenly Jade, I opened my eyes.
If this happens…
the level of Geumgu Wolyeong Baekjeon will increase. It means that you can now perform your own work as you wish.
“Indeed…”
The eldest brother appeared in front of me, stretched out his hand, grabbed my face, and looked around.
“What exactly?”
“Is there really a rival for me?”
My eldest brother opened my eyes up and down with his fingers and checked my eyes.
“…Isn’t this a depilation?”
“….”
“Are you saying that you have become so strong overnight that you have no opponents? “There must be an enemy.”
“is it? Let me bring it. “You have to start by slapping him in the face and fighting him.”
The eldest brother burst out laughing and grabbed my shoulder.
“Good job.”
Suddenly, I looked around and saw that a partition had been erected. The whole time I was eating breakfast, I felt like I was sitting on the ocean, but in reality, there was a lot of splashing water under my butt.
“What is this? “It’s too much for urine.”
“Your whole body became this dirty after repeatedly freezing and thawing. If it was urine…”
I looked at my eldest brother.
“Really what?”
“The third one is peeing and the disciple is peeing. “It’s a feast of urine and feces.”
“hmm.”
It seems I am not the only one who has gained enlightenment. I have never seen my eldest brother talk so much. Has the coin invasion arrived? Why did you become so talkative?
“Eldest brother, are you okay? “I don’t think I am of sound mind.”
“It stinks, so wash it first.”
As I stood up, I felt muscle pain all over my body. As I went to wash up, I wondered if some of my madness had transferred to my eldest brother. Was madness an epidemic? In fact, even though I am certain that my martial arts skills have become stronger, I felt that it did not seem like I had fully recovered from the epidemic.
Because while I was washing in the well alone, I somehow felt like I was more handsome than before. As your martial arts skills become more advanced, your appearance often becomes brighter. Could this be me?
“…if?”
I realized this while I was washing up, but I didn’t have any clothes to change into. In a voice filled with courage, I asked the workers for help.
“Give me a set of clothes. “I’m going to change…can you hear me?”
Fortunately, because it was morning, a worker came carrying clothes. I was in no position to tell whether the clothes were good or not, so I wore them roughly. The clothes fit my body perfectly, but were so dirty that it was hard to believe that I had just washed them. So, it looks like the worker wore this while working on construction for a long time and then took it off because he felt he couldn’t wear it anymore.
Clothing is not important for men anyway.
But money is important, so I took the money out of my clothes. When I came out to the construction site, I saw my eldest brother lying on the bench with his eyes closed. I left it alone because it seemed like I had spent the night.
I put down the wooden sword behind the eldest brother who was lying down.
After looking around at the workers, he left the construction site of Jahagaekjan with an ax slung over his shoulder. It was still early morning. While walking down the street, I loosened my hair, took my dirty top off, and rolled up my sleeves. I made a sharp turn and entered the newly expanded construction site for the Magyo barracks to see if there was any need to chop firewood. Fortunately, I saw some leftover firewood that someone had chopped the day before, so I was able to get some work.
From what I observed for a few days, unlike Jaha Gaekjan, the barracks group had a habit of working until dawn and sleeping until noon. Moreover, it has already expanded to the flag at the top. Because workers were hired from various places, it would be impossible to know exactly who was chopping firewood.
Above all, my clothes are dirtier than theirs.
Without even thinking about it, I chopped some firewood with an ax at the Magyo construction site, counted the number of barracks, and looked at how they were being built. When I moved in the opposite direction from Jaha Gaekjan and looked, I saw that a really large barracks was being built.
It looked like a general’s military camp.
When I opened the entrance and looked, I saw the workers lying down and sleeping.
Who on earth would come and set up a military camp in such a noisy manner? Because I was hungry and couldn’t sleep, I went into a small deserted barracks and slept with my ax in my arms.
I wasn’t planning on waking up until I woke him up to eat.
It seems that the Demonic Cult first sent only workers to settle in, but since they only sent workers, I was able to infiltrate easily.
I’m going to kill someone right now… I just went to sleep without any thoughts.
I’m actually curious as to who is in charge of this.
This thought occurred to me while I was trying to sleep in the morning.
Anyway, unless Samjae comes, it will be difficult for anyone to deal with me. This is neither arrogance nor confidence.
That is my current state and reality.
This is because, while in a state of disembodiment, he received full credit for his return to Manryu and Heavenly Prison.
