Hyeonjilmusin - Chapter 95

95. Open (3)

I was about to call out tomorrow, but then I fell silent. Although I didn’t usually feel the energy waves that emanated from enlightenment, this faint vibration was clearly enlightenment.

It seems that the energy leaking out was blocked by the method. Since it was a place for closed-door training, it would have been disturbing if it had sensed other people’s energy.

I stayed still. Of course, even if I moved a little or spoke, it wouldn’t affect the still-agnostic Myeong-il. Still, there was a chance that it might be possible.

As Myeongil said, it was so dark that I didn’t know how time passed.

“Phuhaa.”

After some time had passed, the sound of a deep breath could be faintly heard through the wall.

“Silence.”

Myeongil called me right away. Only then did I open my tightly clenched lips.

“yes.”

“thank you.”

“Congratulations.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Myungil’s voice didn’t change even as he said such strange things. He was truly a boy who was not like a child in many ways.

Anyway, the enlightenment of tomorrow was fruitful for me as well. At least here in Chamhoe-dong, I confirmed that the energy does not leak out.

Then, I guess I can take the elixir in my hand. I thought it would be a way to achieve enlightenment when the morning was quiet, so I tried to take the elixir. However, just before the elixir went into my mouth, I heard a voice again.

“This is my first time.”

“What does that mean?”

“I gained enlightenment from another disciple.”

“is it so?”

“Yeah. I’ve never really received any teachings from the executioners either.”

“I see.”

“Can you teach me more in the future?”

Myung-il’s question was unexpected. He was a child who was usually indifferent to others. It was refreshing for him to approach me first like this. I had no reason to refuse.

“sure.”

I answered like that, but I didn’t think it was a big deal. It was natural for the four brothers to complement each other and lead each other.

But it seems that it had a slightly different meaning to Myeongil.

“You are my master now.”

“Huh? That’s not it.”

“That’s right. Because I taught you.”

Myung-il’s voice was more resolute than I thought. It was the first time I’d seen Myung-il assert himself so strongly.

“It’s just a give and take.”

“I have nothing to give you. You surpass me in every way.”

“Then please speak politely first. You don’t have the basics of a disciple.”

“… … Ah. I’m sorry.”

I said it as a joke, but Myeong-il took it seriously. It was cute because it was so extreme that it was not cute at all. They say that opposites attract.

“I’m joking.”

“I’m not joking. If you really want me to call you that, I can.”

“Okay. I’m uncomfortable.”

If I call Myeong-gyeong “death penalty” and Myeong-il uses formal language, our relationship will be complicated. It’s called a dog’s trot. In any case, formal and informal language are not as important as you might think in human relationships.

“Then what should I do?”

“What should I do? Why do I have to do anything?”

“huh.”

I stopped talking. I could just ask you here. I wanted you to be quiet because I had something to sort out. But I was more curious about the boy named Myeongil.

“Why do you think so?”

“what?”

“Why do you think you have to do anything?”

“Otherwise you’ll be thrown away.”

The voice was indifferent. It was a story too cold and cruel for a child to tell.

“Were you abandoned?”

“There are taboos for the shaman’s disciples.”

“What is it?”

“They say that disciples don’t ask each other about their pasts before entering the mountains. It’s even in the precepts.”

Myeongil stopped talking and sighed. The weight of the sigh seemed to rest on my chest.

“But since you are not a disciple of the main temple, you can tell me.”

Myeongil began to talk to himself like that, as if making excuses.

“I’m telling you. I was the son of a martial artist. It was a place called Jeonggajang in Gangseo.”

“I’ve never heard of this place before. Then your last name must be Jeong.”

“Don’t ask my name. I forgot it after receiving the Taoist seal.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Anyway, I was in charge of investments there.”

“Investment manager?”

“It was a way to show off my skills and get investments from other top players or signboards. If I demonstrated my skills and they didn’t invest, I would starve that day.”

“Heh heh.”

I laughed in vain. I heard that they do that when someone shows exceptional talent in a small Sega. Just now, Jegal Sega applied for a rotation with us in a similar context, so it goes without saying that small and medium-sized Sega also applied.

“But eventually, something happened. Those who wanted my talent tried to kidnap me. But my father caught me in the middle and we fought. But my father had no talent at all. He died with his head cut off in front of me.”

Tomorrow’s voice was eerily calm. I didn’t say anything and just listened.

“Don’t feel sorry for me. I’ve wished my father would die more than once. To be honest, I was strangely happy when I saw him die. When I didn’t get the investment, I drank and beat myself up.”

“That could be possible.”

The Jungwon area is a barbaric place. Usually, at the age of five, you experience the death of an acquaintance. Whether you die from a fight or meet a bandit and die a cruel death. There is always a reason to die in the martial arts world, no matter where.

“But the funny thing is, there wasn’t just one place they were trying to kidnap me from. They encountered another place along the way, and they fought for their lives again. At least a dozen people must have died because of me.”

Myeong-il is one of the three great disciples of the shaman sect, and he has the greatest talent. Even in the shaman of the Namjon shaman of the Buksung Shaolin, Myeong-il could not hide his light, so how much worse must he have been in the small and medium-sized shamans of Gangseo? So it could be said that it was a predestined disaster. Of course, it was also a disaster that could not be prevented. You can choose to die, but you cannot choose to be born.

“When that sudden bloodshed occurred, my master, who was returning to the shaman sect, saved me. That’s how I became the shaman’s third disciple.”

“It’s been eventful.”

“It’s probably the same for other kids.”

At the end of Myeongil, I realized. When I thought about it, Myeonggyeong, Myeongseong, Myeongjin, and the other disciples probably had parents. But no one was looking for their parents.

“okay.”

“I said something boring.”

“No, it was good.”

Everyone said it was the first time they had seen Myeongil so excited. But after hearing this story, they understood.

How could he tolerate it when he insulted the person who saved his life?

“You don’t need any comforting, do you?”

“Then. If you were that kind of person, you wouldn’t have said such a thing.”

Then I decided not to do the mischievous thing of asking why I told you. Because sometimes stories have meaning in the telling itself and in the listening itself.

“Then I will teach you well. To the best of my knowledge.”

“good.”

“Then, as your teacher, shall I give you just one command?”

“huh.”

“Please be quiet for a moment. I have something to sort out.”

“good.”

It was really easy to deal with tomorrow.

That way I could secure some time to take the elixir.

I tore off the cloth that had been placed inside my bosom. The Taecheongdan inside fell into my hand. I held the Taecheongdan in my left hand, and in my right hand I held a strange ring with spirit energy and magic energy intertwined in it.

‘hmm.’

I thought about it for a moment and decided to eat both.

I’ve been too busy to eat until now, but now I finally have the chance to eat. If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know when I’ll have the chance to eat it again.

I placed the two elixirs between my teeth, overlapping them. Then, without a moment’s hesitation, I bit down on them.

My mouth was so full of energy that I almost opened it. But I could never open it. It was all energy that I had to digest.

My teeth started to shake and I started to taste blood. One elixir alone was strong enough, but taking two at the same time made sense.

The internal energy in my mouth was soon sucked toward my dantian. I stopped my internal energy near the Gihae point where my dantian was. And then I had a feeling.

‘It’s an accident.’

Surprisingly, the entangled spirit and magic energy quickly separated as soon as they entered the body.

And each separate energy was much stronger than I thought. I thought it might be a mixture of condensed internal energy. Was it possible to condense internal energy like that and make its presence faint?

The internal energy around Gihaehyeol was now in a state of confusion due to the mixing of spiritual energy and magical energy. If I had not learned the Manryuguijong, it would have been a dangerous accident that could have happened.

I shouldn’t have let such a strong energy enter my danjeon all at once. I had to slow down the separation as much as possible and feed it into my danjeon little by little.

“Ugh.”

I groaned without realizing it. It was natural that I would feel pain since I was forcibly blocking what should have been flowing. The internal energy accumulated in the Gihae point shook the inside of my body.

I believed in my indomitable power as much as possible. If it weren’t for my indomitable power, I would have lost my mind long ago due to the pain.

I endured the pain and kept holding on until the spirit and demonic energy separated and entered my dantian.

‘good.’

The energy of chaos slowly separated and entered my danjeon. Gradually, my mind and heart rate stabilized.

Only then did I let out a breath. It felt like I had held my breath for almost half an hour.

“Phew.”

I observed my body without opening my eyes yet.

The magic was exactly on the left, and the spirit was exactly on the right. I checked again to see if there was any remaining internal energy in my energy veins. After confirming that there was none, I opened my eyes.

I pulled up the magic with my left hand. Purple energy gushed out. It seemed like a viscous liquid was coming out.

With his right hand on the other side, he raised his spirit energy. Bright blue energy lightly scattered like fog.

When the two combined, they turned into a smoky, grayish fog. I could now use three energies. The first was spiritual energy, the second was magic energy, and the third was the combined energy of the two.

Needless to say, those energies were much greater than what I had been using before. It was a natural result of taking two top-tier elixirs at the same time.

“Dojo tomorrow.”

After I finished checking my body, I called Myeongil. I immediately heard Myeongil’s voice.

“Just call me Tomorrow. You’re older than me.”

“Other people call it the death penalty, but that feels a bit awkward.”

“When did that happen? Then I’ll call you Death Penalty too.”

In that way, I ended up in a relationship with another disciple of the distribution of the famous. It was no exaggeration to say that I was now a complete member of the shaman, not just a disciple of the main temple. I smiled. In this way, my position as a lay disciple gained more power. I was close to the disciples of the main temple, but I also gained the freedom of a lay disciple.

Perhaps even the true masters of the distribution of the Qing Dynasty did not know that I would be able to get along with the distribution of the famous characters like this. However, since even the Qing Dynasty recognized me, it was a good thing.

“So, are you ready?”

“what?”

“It’s a debate.”

I laughed. As my internal energy increased, I also wanted to test my strength quickly.
