Episode 427 My heart is now
the Sword Demon said as he lightly struck down Yoran’s wooden sword that was attacking him.
“…A suspicious person has appeared behind you.”
“Are you an enemy of the Great Master?”
“No way. It seems like they are targeting Jang Yo-ran of Ilyang County. “It’s an assassin dressed as a peddler.”
“yes.”
Yoran kept his mind calm and continued his attacks that had no effect on the ambassador. This is because I know that if I get distracted at a time like this, I will be severely scolded by the Grand Master.
The Sword Demon spoke in a monotonous tone.
“Salsu is taking something out of his arms.”
The Sword Demon deliberately struck Yoran’s wooden sword violently and put pressure on him so that he could not turn his body.
The Sword Demon said as he held out his wooden sword.
“Memorization.”
After Yoran struck away the Master’s sword, he stepped back as soon as he felt that something was actually flying at him. In the meantime, the Sword Demon, who had narrowed the distance, held out his sword stick near Yoran’s neck, and at the same time, a small rock flew out and hit Yoran’s wooden sword.
Pop!
Yoran said to the Sword Demon while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“I lost. “Mr. Ambassador.”
Yoran looked at the second master sitting in front of Jaha’s guest cup.
“Second Master, I retreated first. How did you hit the wooden sword accurately?”
The demon answered.
“Actually, I threw it after watching your movements to the end.”
“hmm.”
Geomma said as he walked side by side with Yoran to Jaha Guest Cup.
“What are you going to do if a assassin suddenly appears nearby when you are in the midst of a fierce competition with your rival?”
“Still, you shouldn’t panic.”
“Is that so? “What are you going to do when the skills of the person in front of you are so similar that it is difficult to determine whether the person behind you is a assassin or a peddler?”
Yoran thought about the situation and answered.
“I guess I should run away.”
The demon added,
“If that opponent is an enemy who must be killed. “What are you going to do if your heart is full of not wanting to let go?”
Yoran thought for a moment and then answered again.
“Still, I will run away. “If I live, I will be able to take revenge.”
Sword Demon said as he sat down on the chair.
“Easier said than done. But emotions aren’t like that. It is arrogance to think that maintaining composure is easy. There are ways in which emotions cannot be communicated through words. “When you feel dizzy and the enemy in front of you is strong… and other enemies appear around you, how should you view the surrounding situation?”
The Sword Demon and Demon Demon looked at their young disciple blankly.
Yoran answered.
“Be alert and careful about your surroundings.”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“Then how can we cultivate it?”
“That?”
“okay. How on earth can you cultivate the vigilance and caution you mentioned? “Are you saying that simply by being careful will deepen the state of this?”
Yoran looked at the expressions of the masters and answered honestly.
“I do not know.”
The Sword Demon looked at the Demon Demon.
“Please explain.”
The demon looked at Yoran.
“You have to train in stages, but first is hearing.”
“yes.”
“Before fighting, you need to be aware of the surrounding sounds. This means that before fighting, you already check what the overall sound condition is like around you. The sound of the wind, the sound of water, the sound of insects in the grass, and what sounds come from the floor. “The first thing is to recognize various sounds.”
“yes.”
“What is the extended meaning of recognizing the sound situation first?”
Yoran answered.
“You must not miss the changes around you. Even the smell.”
The demon nodded.
“right. But the starting point is hearing. This is because hearing is Kang Ho-in’s second eye. “You must recognize even the surrounding noise as a steady flow and be careful when that flow is disrupted.”
“All right.”
The demon calmly explained.
“The five senses, including hearing, become more sensitive and deeper only when they are aware of it. If you swing a wooden sword without thinking, you will rely on habit and inertia. “If you put it off to practice it separately later, it will become a bad habit in itself.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Think over and over again what you heard from the masters today. “If you want to make it yours, you have no choice but to think about it and establish it.”
“All right.”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“good night. I delivered something quite difficult today, so here it is. Yoran goes up first.”
“Yes, Master. Second Master.”
After Yoran disappeared, the Sword Demon and the Demon Demon sat side by side for a while and looked at the peaceful sky and the panoramic view of Ilyang County.
The Sword Demon asked vaguely.
“…Did you teach something that was too difficult?”
The demon laughed.
“no. I will try hard to understand. “Because he’s smart.”
“If you practice your hearing and five senses, you will become more sensitive. That sensitivity can cause insomnia. “I was wondering if it was too soon.”
“Sleeping well is also a practice, so we need to emphasize and teach it. Now that I think about it, I have a lot of things to teach.”
“How is it? Yoran’s understanding.”
“What do you think, brother?”
The Sword Demon looked straight ahead and said.
“I thought it would be nice if he had a better understanding since he was learning from us, but it doesn’t matter now. I keep seeing him grow bigger day by day…”
“Yes.”
“I think I know why the fathers of the world find her so pretty.”
“Is that so?”
The Sword Demon, who was looking at Ilyanghyeon, spoke to the Demon Demon in a relaxed tone.
“It looks like you’ve been thinking about it for a few days. If you’ve made up your mind, please leave quickly.”
“Did you notice?”
“Once you make up your mind, you have to move.”
The demon spoke in a calm tone.
“Brother, when I stay still like this, sometimes I remember the look on my third child’s face the day he tried to kill me. What can I say about the facial expression at that time? There’s a good chance I’ll be killed by this guy. I couldn’t help but think like this. “It wasn’t a strange day even if I died that day.”
“You survived well.”
“The third one would have come and gone as well. To kill or not to kill. The worry was clearly visible on his face. Then, as time passed, the four of us wandered around Gangho. Training, fighting, fighting again. Training again. But brother, those times were a new opportunity given to me. “I can live a different life than before…”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“I understand. “I’m not much different.”
The demon smiled slightly.
“Surprisingly, there wasn’t a day that I didn’t enjoy. Even when I was training under senior Cheonak, which was almost like torture. Everyone will be happy if I return this strong. I was able to survive with that thought. but.”
“hmm.”
“If I live like this, will the mistakes of Mr. Yukhap from the past go away?”
“We all have the same bad lives, so there’s no need to blame yourself too much.”
“Rather than simple self-blame, my feelings are complicated. The third went to Jongnam Mountain, which he often talked about, and overpowered the entire area. Try to do a good deed even if you have to force it. When there are no enemies in the area, I will find a disciple and make him the great master of the next era.”
“What is the connection between making a disciple a great master and doing good deeds?”
“Wouldn’t good students come to us if we wash away some of the disgrace attached to the title of Teacher Yukhap?”
“…are you planning to create a sect?”
“It is not up to me to take on such a role.”
“Only as a sponsor?”
“yes. I can’t be at the forefront. “The reason I hesitated even after making this decision was because I wondered if it was right to leave my brother here.”
The Sword Demon smiled slightly.
“It’s hard for you, so what could happen to me? “If something happens, my notoriety will spread a little more around here.”
“Is it okay if I just stay in Ilyang County like this?”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“I’ll take care of Yoran until you guys are free. “I will teach Yoran how to do Gyeonggong, and on the day the two of us go to Gangho, we will attack Jongnam Mountain as well… You will go to Jongnam, and I will focus on my disciples here.”
“Brother Yoran, if your Gyeonggong skills improve, go to Manjae first. “The elixir that remains there belongs to Yoran.”
“okay. “I didn’t forget that place either.”
“Are you free from the evil spirit?”
The Sword Demon looked at the Demon Demon.
“I can’t even remember. The naturally rising desire to kill dominated me for a long time. “Now my heart is all mine.”
The two people smiled at the same time.
Suddenly, the two people turned their heads at the same time and looked ahead. The old man, who had not appeared in a long time, spoke to the Sword Demon and Demon Demon as he approached.
“Swordsmen, it’s been a while.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“What do you think, since the old man is retiring?”
The demon got up alone and bowed to the suddenly appearing open ark.
“Senior Noh, it’s been a while since I saw you.”
The open ark responded to the demon demon’s greeting with a gesture and then responded to the sword demon’s words.
“Is there any difference in retirement? I’m always the same. “But thanks to you, my sleep has become a little more comfortable.”
The open ark Shingae looked around Jaha Gaekjan.
“…This is the place. I never thought I’d hear stories about food from the cult leader’s ugly mouth. “People need to live a long time.”
The demon said.
“Unfortunately, Hao Wenzhou is no longer available.”
Shingae nodded.
“know. I came here to get a meal. “How could I not eat the food the cult leader mentioned?”
The Demon Demon brought a chair and put it down before speaking.
“Please sit down first. Seniors.”
Shingae sat side by side with his juniors and looked around the panoramic view of Ilyang County.
“It’s quieter than I thought. “I expected it to be noisy, just like Munju, who talks a lot.”
The demon answered.
“It would have been like that in the past.”
Shingae chuckled.
“Now it seems like it has become a neighborhood where everyone is careful to breathe out of fear of the sword demon.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“A curse or a compliment?”
“It depends on what the listener accepts. By the way, what’s the name of the food I’m trying to get?”
“It will be a whole pork bone for Jaha Gaekjan.”
Shingae ate the food without even seeing it.
“The name sounds delicious.”
The Sword Demon spoke to Jaha Gaekjan.
“Yoran, come down for a moment.”
Yoran’s voice was heard first from somewhere.
“Yes, Master.”
Soon, a crashing sound was heard, and Yoran appeared, coming down the stairs at great speed.
Geomma introduced the open ark to his young disciple.
“He is the great senior of Kangho and the ark of openness. “Say hello.”
Yoran glanced at the old beggar in front of him and quickly lowered his head.
“My name is Jang Yo-ran.”
Shingae nodded.
“OK. This old man is a beggar of openness. Anyway, I hope we can gradually say hello. “What is the purpose of this hasty introduction?”
The Sword Demon spoke with a solemn expression.
“I think you came all the way from Gyeongjae to Ilyanghyeon drooling because you thought the Bangju pork bone was free. “That’s not true.”
Shin-gae, with his eyes wide open, asked back with an expression of bewilderment.
“What nonsense is that, drooling? “Sometimes I have to swallow my saliva, but I have to speak clearly.”
“I don’t think it’s right to accept money from the leader of the beggars, but you still have to pay for your food. ark.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. “You are a day robber.”
Shingae held his stomach and laughed, then called Yoran with a wave of his hand.
“Yoran, come here. “Grandpa has something to look into.”
Yoran looked at the ambassador without moving immediately. When the Sword Demon nodded, only then did Yoran stand in front of Shingae.
Shingae lightly grabbed Yoran’s wrist and then spoke.
“…Have you already joined?”
“yes.”
“You learned it too quickly. How far do you plan to learn this martial art?”
Yoran did not understand the intention of the question and answered with a puzzled expression.
“Until the end.”
“hmm.”
Shingae, who was thinking about something, spoke to Geomma.
“I won’t ask about the source of martial arts. “Even if it’s a martial arts skill that suits your constitution, it seems like it’s too early to learn the mind method.”
“exactly? “I’m being mindful and learning very slowly.”
“That’s no use. This is because the young disciple’s body and organs were still growing. Do you understand what it means?”
The Sword Demon nodded.
“I think I understand.”
“It’s a different level of martial arts than King Jeongjong’s, so there are some things that can’t be helped. So we can’t predict the exact time, but you will suffer from extreme cold one or two times. It’s not that I’m a prophet. “Cold martial artists are naturally like that.”
The Sword Demon asked in a serious tone.
“Actually, I was somewhat cautious through Mong Lang. However, since Yoran has a woman’s body, I expected that she would not have the deep internal injuries that Mongrang experienced.”
“Cancer can be different. But as I said, the timing of initiation is the problem. It’s probably because I started at a younger age than Mongrang. This is because the body has to endure the cold as it grows. To compare it, it’s like falling asleep in the middle of winter with all the doors wide open. Even if it’s okay for a day or two, when your body becomes weak due to growing pains, it will inevitably lead to internal injuries. The original family that created this martial art must have had various ways to deal with it, but Mongrang probably couldn’t have learned it either. Otherwise, I should have started as a true sect from the beginning and learned it after acquiring the energy of Geukyang…”
The Sword Demon and Demon Demon just listened in silence.
Shingae said while looking at Yoran.
“Your master, Hao Wenzhou.”
“yes.”
“I probably learned the extreme yang first and learned the extreme yin later. “I don’t know who taught it, but this is the standard for accepting yin and yang.”
Yoran answered briefly.
“yes.”
“Yoran, the fastest way to learn martial arts is to learn it slowly and sequentially. “Keep this in mind.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I have seen many people who promise to keep something in mind but then go down a side road.”
“yes.”
The Sword Demon asked.
“What should I do, old man?”
Shingae scratched the back of his head, pondered, and then said.
“If you see any signs, bring him to the open area. I will take care of the chill myself. In terms of his level of martial arts, even Jaha could do it, but he would be less experienced than me in how to treat internal injuries or completely remove cold from the body. Do you understand what I mean?”
Only then did the Sword Demon nod his head with a satisfied expression and spoke to Yoran.
“Yoran.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I heard you retired. “He is an ark of openness whose reputation rivals that of Kangho’s Three Talents, and he is Kangho’s great master who still has few rivals in the world.”
Shingae looked at the Sword Demon with an expression of bewilderment.
“….”
The Sword Demon continued.
“He is the one who will heal the internal injuries and pain you will inevitably experience in the future, so it is not enough to have you here as Eungong and Taesabu. “Be courteous and courteous towards your masters.”
Zhang Yoran took a step back with a surprised expression and then bowed to the open ark.
“Young disciple Jang Yo-ran meets the Great Master.”
Yoran was quick-witted and did not get up with his forehead on the floor. Then, Shingae let out a short sigh.
“Get up. “Surprised attacks and joint attacks are quite effective.”
“yes.”
“Master and disciple get along very well. You even made me bow down to you. I was left without a move. If you feel that the chill spreading throughout your body is different from usual, be sure to come to see me accompanied by your masters. When the extreme cold comes, even sleeping will be painful. This is not because you are unlucky, but it is a difficulty that most strong people often face. No matter what martial art you learn, there are bound to be crises and hardships, so there is no need to feel resentful. “Jeongjong also has his own frustrations, so it is also a thorny path for him to enter the country.”
“Yes, Ark.”
Shingae said as he looked around at the group of con artists.
“So… can you give me some food now? This was enough to pay for the meal. “It’s not uncommon for a beggar to pay this much for food.”
The Sword Demon extended his hand into the cup and spoke in a softer tone.
“Let’s go to Nohbae.”
“It’s hard to get a meal just once. It’s not an ordinary neighborhood. “What is the name of this town?”
Yoran answered bravely.
“This is Ilyanghyeon.”
“I won’t forget. “I have lived as a beggar all my life, but this is my first time eating such expensive food. Let’s go in.”
The open ark burst into laughter.
As soon as the demon made eye contact with his eldest brother, he quietly raised his thumb.
The Sword Demon, who saw the Demon Demon’s thumb, still nodded with a solemn expression.
“Let’s go in.”
After letting people in first, the Sword Demon turned around, as was his long-standing habit, and briefly examined his surroundings with his five senses to see if he could sense any unsettling atmosphere.
“….”
After confirming that Ilyang County was no different from usual…
Geomma also entered Jaha Guest Cup.
