Episode 393 It’s a secret to the world.
After resting for a few days in Ilyang County, we talked about whether or not to say goodbye to Yoran before leaving for Hwasan. The eldest brother and the little guy said they didn’t know what to do, so the decision-making power was handed over to me.
Actually, I didn’t know what to do, so we went outside the guesthouse and watched the sun set.
If it were a child who could tell a lie, he would have said goodbye.
All three of us knew that he was a disciple who generally had trouble telling lies.
Masters, all you have to do now is to briefly say that you have been to the volcano.
I needed time to think because I was worried that this might also hurt Yoran. The eldest brother was looking at the sky that was changing colors every moment, and Poopy didn’t say anything.
After a while, the poop asked me.
“Shall we leave quietly at dawn?”
“no.”
“Then say something.”
“Actually, Yoran is the only person who will listen to the things we normally don’t talk about. Let’s just say whatever we want to say. “Even if the words of farewell leave a scar, I can’t help it.”
Everyone has wounds.
If this story made Yoran stronger, I didn’t plan on treating him like a child.
Since Yoran is a disciple, it is right to treat him as such.
While we didn’t say anything for a while.
Yoran came outside without being called and placed a chair next to us and sat down.
The eldest brother spoke first.
“Yoran.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Now that you have rested well for a few days, the masters will go to Hwasan and deal with the religious leader who visited Ilyang County some time ago.”
“All right.”
The eldest brother just said it correctly. As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, the poopy dog opened his mouth.
“Be sure to recite the nine precepts every morning and evening. got it?”
“Yes, I still do that.”
“What about Lucky Breakfast?”
“Once at noon for the first three years. Even if I want to do more, I will endure it.”
The shitbag nodded.
“The most important thing is not to injure yourself when cooking Binggong. You have to learn it slowly until your body adapts. “Master was very careful while learning it, but sometimes he suffers from sudden cold spells.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Yoran asked me.
“Third Master, have you planned everything?”
I said while looking at Yoran next to me.
“Operations?”
“yes.”
From Yoran’s perspective, it looks like I’m in charge of operations.
“…It will take some time for the leader to get his affairs in order. The correct name of the religion is Cheonma Shingyo. In the past, the headquarters of the religion was located outside the central plains. It is said to be the old headquarters. “If a master is called there, it will take time for him to join.”
“Oh, you’re not going alone, are you?”
“of course. It is difficult to handle us alone. There is no expert in the world who can handle all four of us at the same time. So, the cult leader should also bring an ally.”
“understand.”
“The masters will climb the volcano and begin training, each with the intention of surpassing their current level. So, it may take a little longer to come back.”
“yes.”
Yoran looked at me.
“Master, can’t all four of you deal with the religious leader at the same time?”
“Don’t think about it.”
“It’s unfair in my opinion.”
“what?”
“Those subordinates treated the religious leader like a god. To me, it seemed like he had become stronger with the help of the believers. “It may seem shabby at first glance for four masters to join forces with one person, but isn’t it the same as four masters dealing with the entire Protestant religion?”
I was filled with admiration.
“My student is so smart. “What do you think, eldest brother?”
The eldest brother also nodded.
“It’s not wrong.”
After thinking well, I answered Yoran’s words.
“Anyway, I hope Master Lee will keep his head on so that no one dies. “If I only complete my own work, the sect leader will not be my opponent.”
“Are you self-sufficient? “Did you give your master’s name to your martial arts skills?”
“I deliberately gave it a name because it is a martial art that only I can use at the moment. No one in the world performs the same martial arts skills. Even if you inherit the fourth master’s ice attack, it will be a different martial art from the fourth master’s ice attack. Of course, this is only when it is completed and further developed. “One day, when you feel that you have surpassed the Fourth Master’s ice ball, give me a new name.”
“Fourth Master will be upset, right?”
“it is not so.”
Shit-swaddle added.
“You must be proud.”
Yoran said to his eldest brother.
“When you come back, teach me how to use a sword.”
The eldest brother nodded.
“I get it.”
Shit-swaddle stood up and nodded to Yoran.
“Yoran, let’s go for a walk.”
“yes.”
Shit-swaddle backed away and started walking slowly with Yoran. I stayed with my eldest brother and just took a breath. After a while, a friendly face appeared at the front. It was Geum Cheol-yong from Yongducheolbang who came to visit after hearing the news of his return.
“Mr. Gold.”
Uncle Geum showed courtesy to his eldest brother first.
“Master, it’s been a while since I saw you.”
Next, Mr. Geum spoke to me.
“I was waiting for Munju to come back.”
“Well, was there a credit value?”
Mr. Gold looked back and nodded. Vice Ark Yonggae, who followed Mr. Geum, placed a long wooden box on the table.
“It’s been a while, Moonju. “Big brother and I prepared a gift.”
When Vice Lord Yonggae opened the wooden box, a pure white long sword was lying there. The scabbard had a white dragon drawn on it, and the handle was, of course, a dragon’s head.
I said while looking at the sword.
“Have you finally finished it?”
Mr. Gold nodded.
“Every time I hear the news, Moonju’s performance is amazing. “There’s no need to tell me who made it.”
I grabbed the long sword and pulled it out.
Just by looking at the surface of the sword, one could tell whether it was a poor sword or a famous sword, and no one could tell that it was a well-made sword. If it had been a roughly made sword, I would have retracted it immediately, but I had no choice but to pull it out until the end.
The left and right sides are perfectly balanced and harmonious.
The thickness of the sword body was appropriate and the slope of both blades was ideal.
The finish of the sword was also flawless.
How much effort Uncle Geum and Vice Ark Yonggae had put in was clearly reflected in this single sword.
Now, no matter what kind of work Yongducheolbang took on, he would never starve to death.
I asked Mr. Geum.
“What is the name of the sword?”
“That has to be decided by the owner of the house. Of course, it doesn’t have a name now. Well, it’s a bit hard to say it out loud, but this is the name of the guesthouse. Jahasinken (紫霞神劍)?”
“It’s a new sword…”
Deuksu came out of the guest room and greeted Mr. Geum.
“Are you here? uh? Is this the Jashin sword I only heard about? see.”
Deuksu looked at the blade with his eyes wide open.
“Wow, that’s amazing. Maybe you got it just right like this? “I heard from Moonju that the sword was stolen by the religious leader some time ago.”
Geum Cheol-yong nodded.
“Is that so? “There is no need to feel sorry now.”
The eldest brother spoke from the side.
“Give it to me.”
The eldest brother was handed the so-called Jahasin sword, pulled it out, and looked at the blade for a while. Then, he exchanged glances with me for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Your gold ark skills have improved. “It’s a long sword that isn’t easy to make.”
Mr. Geum answered with a bright expression.
“thank you.”
The eldest brother continued.
“I’m not sure if the cult leader uses a sword, but officially he owns the Heavenly Demon Sword. It is difficult for most types of weapons to withstand it. Therefore, we must use weapons that can handle the added power of the Heavenly Demon Sword.”
Uncle Geum also nodded as if he agreed.
“That is a fair statement.”
The eldest brother continued.
“Actually, I think Munju and we will deal with the cult leader directly some time later.”
“yes?”
“Thank you for the gift of the golden ark, but you cannot climb the volcano with a sword that breaks in a fight. Fortunately, the sword I have is as strong as the Heavenly Demon Sword, so I’ll try it out first. “This is only natural as we have a big fight ahead.”
As the eldest brother said, it is natural.
Uncle Geum also agreed.
“you’re right.”
The eldest brother pulled out the Light Sword with his left hand and struck it down on the Jashin Sword without saying anything. Due to the eldest brother’s personality, he would have given equal strength to both hands. A metallic sound was heard and nothing happened.
The eldest brother nodded as if he had assessed the strength, and then struck again.
The blade of the Jashin sword was broken with a metallic sound that somehow felt clear.
I looked at the broken Jahasin sword, looked at my eldest brother’s expression, and looked at Uncle Geum’s expression. Previously, Mr. Geum looked as if he was going to faint at any moment, but this time he narrowed his eyes and looked at his broken intestine.
“….”
said the eldest brother.
“The golden ark.”
“yes.”
“It was broken, but it wasn’t a low-quality sword. There was probably no one in the iron room who could break this sword. This is because there were no experts with deep skills. So this would have been the best a gold ark could have been made.”
“That’s right.”
“It’s like martial arts, but it’s so difficult to become the best in the world when it comes to making swords. On the one hand, it’s natural. Even in the Cheolbang family that has been passed down for generations, the things that cannot be easily made are famous swords that are close to the best in the world. The Heavenly Demon Sword and the Light Sword are swords that survived the magic sword for a long time without breaking. “You can guess how great the intensity is, right?”
“yes.”
The eldest brother looked at Uncle Geum with a calm smile.
“I think the golden ark is just one step away. If I become stronger here, then I will become a craftsman worth talking about in the world. “I will return the broken sword because it is the child you created.”
When the eldest brother held out the broken Jahasin sword, Mr. Geum took it.
The eldest brother raised one finger and spoke in a friendly tone, as if he was making a request to Mr. Geum.
“There is one step left. It’s not easy. It’s great that we’ve come this far, but we need to let go of the thought that the errors and mistakes we’ve made along the way will be enough, and then reexamine the process from beginning to end. The broken one should be called Jaha Sword (紫霞劍). “God’s sword is an arrogant expression.”
Mr. Gold nodded.
“All right.”
“I pretended to know as much as I could and talked about it, but I wonder if I really grew up so quickly like the golden ark. “It was nice to see you after a long time.”
Mr. Geum shared a look with Vice Lord Yonggae and answered in a much more relaxed tone.
“Thank you for your words, Ambassador.”
The eldest brother said.
“When I get back, I’ll start by making an ordinary long sword. “It’s about making money with a good long sword and using that money to accumulate time and wealth to focus on making a great sword.”
Uncle Geum answered like this.
“yes. When you start again from the basics and the training has been repeated sufficiently. “I will try Jaha Sword again.”
Deuksu said.
“Why don’t you at least eat something and go?”
Mr. Gold shook his head.
“That’s enough for today. I’ll come next time. Then, Master Moonju. “I will go first.”
“Please take a look.”
I said while looking at Mr. Geum and Bu Ark. who were returning to the iron room.
“Do you think there will be a truly famous sword next time?”
The eldest brother nodded as if he agreed.
“That’s my opinion too. It wasn’t a bad sword. The word “complete” was just a little lacking. “Like us.”
I also nodded.
“Like us.”
As I thought about what my eldest brother said, I couldn’t help but laugh. Even if the sword breaks, if the heart of the sword maker does not break, that is an unbreakable belief. Same goes for me.
In my heart, I already had an unbreakable sword.
…After taking a large tour of Yorani and Ilyang County, Saekma returned to the vicinity of Jaha Gaekjan. I was given detailed information on what to pay attention to when learning Okhwabinggong while taking a walk. For the difficult parts, I first asked them to memorize them and then listened to them over and over again.
Since he was a very intelligent student, there was no problem with memorizing it.
It was also said that it is more important to memorize things first, as there are some things that you learn as you learn them.
The walk felt very short because there was so much to tell.
Saekma stopped for a moment with Yoran and looked at the light in Jaha’s cup.
“Yoran.”
“Yes, Master.”
Saekma said while looking at Yoran.
“I will tell you a secret that this Fourth Master has never told anyone.”
“yes.”
“As you know, the Master and I have different ways of martial arts.”
“Yes, I know.”
“I don’t know what others think, but I have never been overconfident in my martial arts skills.”
“What does that mean? “Master?”
Saekma sat down and met Yoran at eye level.
“The Celestial Demon Church is called the Demon Cult.”
“I know.”
“A long time ago, I tried to find out the secrets of the Okhwabinggong, even killing those who had learned it. However, those who succeeded Okhwabingong did not reveal anything even if it meant death. No one said anything. Even that damn demon was stubborn enough to give up. You may not believe it now, but believe what Master says. Okhwabinggong is a divine skill. If you succeed, there will be no rivals. No matter whether he is the strongest of the religion or the best leader of the Murim Alliance, he cannot be an opponent to the person who achieved great success. And I tried not to be overconfident in my martial arts ability until I achieved great success. “It means that because I was in the process, I never pushed myself to the limit.”
“yes.”
“When we climb up the volcano this time, Master plans to show the leader the tip of the Jade Flower Ice Ball.”
“yes.”
“This fourth master plans to make sure no one dies. So there is no need to worry too much in Ilyang County.”
As soon as he caught the tears falling from Yoran’s eyes with his fingers, the colored magic made of frozen tears spoke.
“When we get to the end, this fourth master will show us at the volcano who is truly the strongest. Yoran.”
“Yes, Master.”
“From now on, freeze every tear that falls. What is the strongest?”
“Okhwabinggong.”
The demon nodded.
“When we’re alone, let’s call him Okhwashingong. “It’s a secret to the rest of the world.”
Yoran also nodded.
“All right.”
Now, Saekma told Yoran all the secrets about Okhwabinggong.
The Jade Fire Ice Ball is a Jade Fire Divine Ball, and if it is great, there is no rival.
This was not something I made up to reassure my young disciple; it was the truth.
