Episode 20 – Meeting

Namgung Yerin’s coming to the missionary office was a double-edged sword.

Namgung Yerin’s top priority was to uncover the truth behind the salt bribery incident.

By doing so, Namgung Se-ga was able to prove that he had nothing to do with this incident, but Kwae-Cheong-Cheon said that he had to go to Ui-Hwang first.

Is Ui Hwang behind this incident?

Kwai Cheong Cheon answered that it was not that.

He simply replied that he had to meet with the inspector general of Gangseo Province before conducting a full-scale background investigation.

Anchalsa of Gangseo Province.

It appears that the rumor that the royal family was interested was not a lie.

Then, when I asked why I should go to Yichuan instead of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, I was told that the inspector general was in Yichuan.

Why would a big shot like a police officer come to a remote village to be a doctor?

Also, Kwae Cheong Cheon said that the person who solved this salt fraud case is in Ui Hwang.

The missionary’s blue cloud······.

It was the first time I heard that name.

Anhui Province, where the Nanggong family is located, and Jiangxi Province, where the Xianmu Office is located, were not geographically very far apart.

The region immediately below Anhui Province is Jiangxi Province.

That is why the famous martial artists of Anhui Province have also spread their fame to Jiangxi Province.

On the other hand, a famous martial artist from Jiangxi Province also comes to Anhui Province.

However, if Namgung Yerin had never heard of Cheongun, it means that Cheongun was not a very famous warrior.

Wasn’t the missionary office located in a rural village?

I heard that he is a military officer who teaches children.

Anyway, Namgung Yerin’s coming to the missionary office was a double-edged sword.

Kwai Cheong-cheon meets the governor of Gangseo Province.

Let’s also check out who solved this salt bribery case.

And I would like to say a small thank you.

So, I first met the missionary named Cheongun.

“······!”

My first impression of Namgung Yerin was surprise.

I guess I’m just past my prime.

His appearance was ordinary, neither particularly unusual nor outstanding.

He was a man with a plain appearance who fit the description of a country boy.

If you look around, he was a man you could see commonly.

Wedge!

But his sword was neither ordinary nor common.

···Actually, it didn’t seem like he had any great talent.

The sword he was swinging had a primitive form, but it was too monotonous.

Should I say that it feels like it only covers the basics of swordsmanship?

It was a martial art and a sword that only a warrior who had just picked up a sword could learn.

···But it was strange.

It’s clearly a simple basic sword technique, but there’s something different about it.

It doesn’t feel that simple.

Wedge!

A sharp, piercing sound that cuts through the air.

Suddenly, one person comes to Namgung Yerin’s mind.

One of the ten masters known as the Ten Best Masters in the World.

The head of the Namgung family and Namgung Yerin’s father.

Thunder Sword Heavenly King, Namgung Sangcheon.

···That can’t be true.

The only thing that Cheongun and Namgung Sangcheon have in common is that they use swords.

Therefore, the basic gist cannot be the same.

But even with the same basics, it can vary greatly depending on who holds the sword.

The basics that Namgung Sangcheon sees are not basics.

But it was being glimpsed.

The basics of Namgung Sangcheon were revealed in the unmanned village official.

···I couldn’t believe this at all.

“Phew···.”

After a while, Cheongun took a deep breath and opened his closed eyes.

The dirt floor of the yard that Cheongun had passed through was completely ruined.

Namgung Yerin’s eyes suddenly widened.

“All of you···!”

Namgung Yerin found herself blurting out these words without realizing it.

* * *

Dreamy silver hair that seems to be soaked in moonlight.

Her silver hair, which fell down to below her shoulders, flowed elegantly in the wind.

Her skin was as white and clean as the snow that had piled up all winter, and her large, sparkling eyes and her face with subtle shadows accentuated her beauty even more.

Slightly lifted eyelashes.

Lips as red as ripe apples.

This beauty, with her elegant yet refreshing vibe…

“My name is Namgung Yerin of the Namgung Se family.”

This is the eldest daughter of the Namgung family, Namgung Yerin.

It’s a name I’ve heard before.

First of all, I knew about Namgung Se-ga.

One of the five great powers that stand shoulder to shoulder with the old-fashioned ones.

In particular, it was impossible not to know the Namgung family, which was renowned as a prestigious swordsmanship family.

But even if it wasn’t Namgung Se-ga, I had heard the name Namgung Ye-rin.

Anhui and Jiangxi provinces are geographically quite close.

I’ve heard the names of some unmanned vehicles with a certain degree of fame.

Jade-faced Snow Sword, Namgung Yerin.

It is a nickname meaning a swordsman with a face as beautiful as jade and as cold as snow.

To put it simply, it is famous throughout the world for its beauty.

Having a nickname means that she has outstanding skills, and being the eldest daughter of the Namgung family also means that she has an extraordinary status, but in the end, Namgung Yerin was just beautiful.

Perhaps because of that, the rumors I heard were incredibly bizarre.

It is said that a Shaolin monk overthrew his sect because he was captivated by Namgung Yerin’s beauty.

It is said that two shamans fought a life-or-death battle over Namgung Yerin and planned a double-cross.

Her beauty is known even to the distant Saewoemun, and people travel across the world just to see Namgung Yerin’s face.

If you collect the letters sent to Namgung Se-ga every year and use them as firewood, you will be able to survive the winter.

Rumors that were almost like ghost stories were spreading like wildfire.

Of course, not all rumors can be believed.

But when that happens, there’s smoke coming out of the chimney.

If you follow the smoke, you will definitely find traces of fire.

There was a reason why such rumors came out like that, and in reality, seeing Namgung Yerin’s beauty made such rumors possible.

Perhaps because of that, Namgung Se-ga was a daughter who was loved and cherished like gold and jade.

She could truly be called a young lady of golden branches and jade leaves.

‘Why is that Namgung Yerin here?’

As soon as I asked that question, a thought suddenly popped into my head.

None other than the mastermind behind the salt bribery incident, Namgung Hyuk.

Come to think of it, Namgung Hyuk said at the end.

-If you kill me, I, the Namgung family, will definitely take revenge!

And now, Namgung Yerin has come to the mission office.

There weren’t many reasons why the eldest daughter of the Namgung family and the most beautiful girl would come to this rural village.

He held the sword tightly and tightened his grip.

I explored the presence of others with my senses heightened to the max.

The Namgung Sega family is a prestigious swordsmanship family with its own independent military group.

Young Dragon, Heavenly Wind, Blue Sky, and Emperor.

There’s no need to go all the way to the sky.

Even the Cheonpung Sword Masters are masters of a different level than the warriors of Horonggwan.

‘Can we win?’

It was the moment when I gripped the sword handle tightly.

“I’m sorry about what happened earlier.”

······huh?

At Namgung Yerin’s words, my expression fell without me realizing it.

Of course, why are you apologizing out of the blue?

Aren’t we supposed to take out our swords and fight together?

Aren’t the Cheonpunggeomdae’s unmanned troops rushing in?

As I tilted my head, Namgung Yerin bit her lower lip and said.

“I didn’t intend to spy on you while you were practicing···.”

It was not a good idea to spy on someone else’s training.

And Namgung Yerin was also unmanned.

A warrior who is famous for his skills as well as his beautiful appearance.

As a fellow warrior, Namgung Yerin is apologizing for spying on my training earlier.

‘Isn’t it that the Namgung family came here to seek revenge?’

···It seemed that way judging from the atmosphere.

But that didn’t mean I relaxed.

After all, it was just an unconfirmed guess.

Maybe he’s trying to catch me off guard.

Since ancient times, there has been nothing as dangerous and as much to guard against as the beauty of a woman.

“Why have you come to the mission office, my lady?”

My face was stiff and hardened. And my words did not come out smoothly.

The eldest daughter of the Namgung family, who may have committed a crime.

Namgung Yerin didn’t look good.

“Ah, that···.”

Namgung Yerin’s eyes shook left and right.

Namgung Yerin just smiled, as if she had nothing to say.

“that is···.”

Namgung Yerin’s fidgety gestures and facial expressions.

If those faint and delicate actions were a beauty trick, it would be the best strategy in the world.

‘I never thought that receiving daily spiritual training from Sister Gucheonhyeonnyeo would help me this much.’

However, it was never enough to harm my spirit, which had been trained through the lessons of the Nine Heavenly Women every day.

“That is···.”

I was quite annoyed by Namgung Yerin, who just kept smiling.

It seemed like he had nothing to say to me.

It didn’t seem like he came to seek revenge.

I had no reason or intention to get close to Namgung Yerin, so there was no need to waste my time on her.

I had to report to the gods of Damsobang that I had woken up, and I also had to consult with Jongli Kwon about my internal energy.

Also, don’t you have to take classes that you missed?

The pile of work that piled up during the eight days I was unconscious is literally a mountain.

Moreover, it’s not like I have an abundance of time.

A life that already has a limited time.

“If you have nothing to say, I will go now.”

There was no time to waste for Namgung Yerin.

* * *

Phew, Cheongwoon has left.

Namgung Yerin was left lying in front of the missionary’s main gate.

“···to?”

A foolish sound came out of Namgung Yerin’s mouth.

As I was standing there blankly, a hawk flew down from the roof of the missionary office.

He sat down quietly in front of Namgung Yerin and nodded his head.

And then suddenly, the glare in his eyes…

Click.

It seemed like he was telling me to get out quickly if I had nothing to say.

It was so absurd that I just stood there, and then a hawk suddenly flew up and chased me away.

How fierce was the chilling momentum, and how swift was the fighting.

Clap, clap!

It was impossible to think of it as an ordinary falcon.

Namgung Yerin eventually had no choice but to be kicked out of the missionary office.

Outside the gate of the missionary office that was kicked out like that.

“what.”

···There has never been such rude treatment.

Of course, it was wrong to unintentionally steal the training······.

“That’s too much.”

The rude treatment was too much. And my pride was also slightly hurt.

Nineteen, the age when beauty blooms.

When I walk down the street, I am not oblivious to the gazes gathering around me.

I’m not asking to be treated like a princess, with my liver and gallbladder all taken out.

But I don’t want to be treated like a sack of barley that has been borrowed like this.

“Okay! I’m excited too!”

Anyway, we won’t be meeting anymore.

“I heard you were eating a salad!”

Namgung Yerin stuck her tongue out at Cheongwoon, who couldn’t even see her, for no reason.

Now that I’ve confessed my feelings like this, I feel a lot better.

“Hoo!”

Namgung Yerin walked confidently with a very light heart.

That was when.

“Young lady, you happened to be here.”

Suddenly a voice was heard calling Namgung Yerin.

That voice was also very familiar. It was none other than Kwai Cheong Cheon standing there.

He said he was going to meet the inspector of Gangseo Province, and it seemed he was already on his way back from the meeting.

But the place where we promised to meet up with Kwai Cheong Cheon isn’t here…?

“How about we go together like this?”

“yes?”

Namgung Yerin’s head tilted to the left.

“We’re going together? Where are you talking about?”

“I’m talking to the missionary.”

“···yes?”

“I was on my way to meet Cheongun Sohyeop just now.”

Namgung Yerin tilted her head to the other side again.

Kwaecheoncheon goes to meet Cheongun?

What on earth is the reason for that?

As if he knew what Namgung Yerin was wondering, Kwae Cheong Cheon quickly opened his mouth.

“I would like to get help from Cheongun Sohyeop for this background investigation.”

A moment of silence.

“·········yes?”

A foolish voice came out of Namgung Yerin’s mouth.

* * *

When I returned to my room, I reported my survival to the fire department and explained the situation.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Well, I said to just endure it. In fact, it’s brave just to not die. It’s amazing that you lasted two days.

Then, the words of Jongli Kwon floated up above the table.

He said that it was because he was young and that he was sick, but he seemed to know that it wasn’t true.

Somehow, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to last even if I beat him to death for three days.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: While you were out of contact, I thought of a way.

The 8 days I passed out.

During that time, it seemed that Jong-Ri-Kwon had been trying various methods for me.

And the method is.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Youngest, I think it would be a good idea for you to learn the art of reverse oscillation.

└[Cheongun]

: What do you mean by reverse chronological order?

The Sutra of Changing Muscles and Washing Itself.

If the Yeokgeunseoseo-gyeong that I know is correct, it was a secret book created by the Shaolin sect’s founder, ‘Master Dharma’.

There are two emergency books: the Yeokgeun-gyeong and the Sesu-gyeong.

These two secrets were combined and called the “Yikgeunsesu-gyeong” (易筋洗隨經).

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: This is the training method created by Dharma.

It seems that the reverse chronology that I had been thinking of was correct.

Yeokgeun (易筋) is about changing bones and muscles to create a healthy body.

Washing the body and mind, clearing the marrow and making the mind and body open.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: I think that if you learn the training method of the Dharma master, you will be able to open up your tightly blocked eight and twelve meridians.

My energy and blood vessels blocked by the sky, and the Sutra of the Three Great Aspects of the Heavenly Realm are external and divine skills created by Dharma, who reached Nirvana, for later monks.

The method of writing the Yeongbo is the method of the mind.

The reverse chronology is external.

In other words, the reverse karma can be said to be a practice method for training the body.

It was also a method of training to become a Buddha, so it would be able to clear blocked energy and blood vessels to some extent, if not completely.

However, the Yeokgeunse Su-gyeong has not been handed down to the present.

Like the Youngbopil method, its original form no longer exists.

Rumor has it that only a small amount of the reverse verse remains and is kept in the Shaolin Temple’s archives.

Shaolin Temple, the sect that can be said to be the leader of the Gupaebang.

It’s not something you can learn just because you want to learn it.

But here, in the chatroom of the gods, it was possible.

I am speaking directly to none other than Dharma, the founder of the Sutra of the Threefold Path.

I also clearly remember seeing Dharma’s name at the temple.

『Easy and Fun Way of Learning from Dharma』

There was no problem learning the original form of the Yeokgeunse Su-gyeong.

However, there was one more serious problem.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: But, youngest, you can’t learn from that Dharma guy directly, right?

I couldn’t go into that room and ask Dharma for teachings.

Because I don’t want my existence to be known to other chatrooms.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: So I will learn the Sutra of the Threefold Path from Dharma and pass it on to you.

└[Cheongun]

: Are you speaking as a senior?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Okay, so youngest, don’t worry and just take lessons diligently from the other kids. Got it? Keuhahahaha!

···I was truly so grateful.

Isn’t this the love between priests and disciples, and also the love between the death penalty?

I don’t know what the other gods, including Jongli Kwon, think of me, but I truly thought of them as my teachers, disciples, and disciples.

“But is it okay for you to learn it like that and then just pass it on to me?”

I’m not sure, but it seemed like it would work.

Wasn’t the Sutra of the Four Great Transformations originally created by Dharma to be taught to later monks?

That was when.

-Are you in the Cheongun Sohyeop?

Suddenly, I heard a voice calling me from outside the door.

Judging from the rough voice, it was a man. Also, judging from the familiarity of the voice······.

‘Clear Sky?’

It was Kwae Cheong Cheon, the leader of the Chupung Swordsmen of the Murim Alliance.

‘What is happening here, Kwai Cheong Cheon?’

I tilted my head and wrote the words on the scroll.

└[Cheongun]

: Senior, something suddenly came up so I’ll be out for a bit.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Okay, see you later then.

A phrase from Jongli Kwon that immediately comes to mind.

I put the folding chair in my bosom and slowly got up from my seat.
