Episode 32 – The Surprising Opponent (1)
The words of Jong-Ri-Kwon, who was very drunk like a drunkard.
It was encroaching on the Taoist discourse room, and was on a similar level to the Nine Heavenly Women when I was uncertain about my life and death.
Is that why?
└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]
: Hey you punk! Can you shut your mouth!!
The words of the angry tiger-like Great Emperor, who could not stand to watch, filled the scroll.
└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]
: I’m already having a headache because of Dongbin, so what if you go crazy too, instead of just drinking quietly?
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: Hahaha! Senior! Listen to my story. Then you’ll immediately understand why I’m crazy! Hahahahahahaha!
└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]
: Hey, you crazy guy. What are you talking about?
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: No, the youngest one said, hahahahahaha!
└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]
: Aah! Are you talking about the youngest?!
The words of Gucheonhyeonnyeo suddenly came to mind when I heard the word youngest.
└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]
: What happened to the youngest? Girl too! Girl too, tell me! What happened between you and the youngest?!
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: That’s it, Nanang-ah, hahahahahahaha!
Jongli-kwon explained in detail about the ‘Zen Question Answer Bet’ that he had previously competed with Dharma, and the Taoist discussion room was abuzz with the story for a while.
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: Then, the expression on the face of that damn Dharma guy changed to that of a monster from the Shan Hai Jing······
└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]
: Oh my god! Is that true?!
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: This is the truth without a single lie! You guys, hahaha! That Dharma bastard’s expression… Kheha! You should have seen it yourself! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]
: You are indeed the only successor to this body!!!
It was Yeo Dong-bin’s words that immediately came to mind.
After that, the words of other pioneers came to mind one after another.
└[Hyeonhyeonja (玄玄子) Jang Sam-bong]
: Huh···! Of all people, against ‘Dharma’!
└[Gwangyeongja (廣零子) abuse]
: I thought you were only good at martial arts…
└[Purple House Immortal Gwangseongja]
: Isn’t your talent for writing also outstanding?
└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]
: Is this the Thousand-Li-Delayed Body······?
Fortunately, the investigators appeared to be in good health and had regained their energy.
And even though no one was saying anything, it seemed like everyone was listening to Jongri Kwon’s story.
└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]
: Our youngest can do anything! He uses his body and his head well! Our little girl loves our youngest the most in the world!!
└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]
: The youngest is our lucky charm!
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: Yeah Dongbin, you’re right! The youngest is so lucky, so lucky!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!
Jong-Ri-Kwon, who kept bursting out in laughter at the thought of something so good. You could say that he was the real Jong-Ri-Kwon of madness.
furthermore.
└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]
: Our Taoist religion has risen in status! I can’t even remember how many thousand years it’s been since we flattened the noses of the Buddhists… This won’t do, my mouth is itching and I can’t stand it anymore, so I’ll go see that bastard Shakyamuni right now!
No one but Taesang Laojun was so happy, so at this point I didn’t know what to do with myself.
└[Cheongun]
: Why do you think I, who was just watching, got so upset?
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: Oh my! You just watched? Didn’t you tell me the best plan in the world to strike that bastard Dharma!
└[Cheongun]
: The greatest plan in the world? That’s ridiculous. In the first place, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even been able to start it.
That is because this strategy and plan inevitably had to sacrifice the virtue of Jongri Kwon.
A scheme that cannot be carried out without the permission of the owner.
Of course, in return, he could obtain the ‘Yeokgeunseosugyeong’, but it was not at all like the ‘Yeokgeunseosugyeong’ was worth 1,000 years of merit for Jongri Kwon.
It was literally a useless emergency book, and if you only look at the results, Jong-Ri-Kwon was nothing more than donating 1,000 years worth of merit.
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: No, youngest. When I think about all the things I’ve been through at the hands of that Dharma bastard for the past several thousand years, what good will 1,000 years of virtue do? It’s as if 1,000 years of ‘congestion’ is just sinking away! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Still, it was a fortunate and happy thing for me to see Jong-Ri-Kwon so happy.
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: Anyway, I will teach you the Sutra of the Threefold Path that I learned from that Dharma bastard.
The words of Jongli Kwon that came to mind soon came to mind.
I straightened my posture and focused on the following words of the verse.
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: First, I will briefly explain the Reverse-Geunse-Su-Gyeong. The Reverse-Geunse-Su-Gyeong is a combined term for two types of training: the Reverse-Geunse-Su-Gyeong and the Se-Su-Gyeong.
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.
This means.
It was no different from being reborn, completely changing one’s entire body.
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: In our Taoism, it is also called ‘rebirth and transformation’.
A complete transformation.
‘Hwangoltaltae’, which means changing one’s bones and being reborn, refers to a kind of ‘realm’ that a master who has reached the peak can reach when he has gained enlightenment including numerous internal energy.
The body itself does not become easy to learn martial arts, but rather changes into a body made solely for martial arts.
So even if they are both masters at the same peak, the difference between a master who has completely transformed himself and a master who has not is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
Super climax.
It was a term used to describe a master at the peak of his power who had achieved a complete transformation.
Naturally, it was by no means an easy feat to achieve.
It was said that one had to pass through the ‘Mysterious Gate of Life and Death’, which was said to be the gate that separated life and death, but this was a realm that even the most genius could not even dream of.
Although Gwangmaumgui was clearly a ‘peak master’, he couldn’t even set foot on the ‘peak’.
but.
Bodhidharma’s secret book, ‘The Sutra of the Reverse and the Eightfold Path’, was an extremely powerful secret book that allowed one to reach a state similar to a complete transformation through ‘external training’ and ‘physical training’ without any special enlightenment.
└[Emperor Divine Right]
: Okay, then I will tell you the secret of the reverse chronological order in detail.
It could be said that it was a peerless secret that could open up my eight meridians and twelve meridians that were tightly blocked by the sky.
* * *
The mastermind and culprit behind the salt-feeding incident, Gwangmaum-gwi.
Fortunately, the incident was brought to a close with Gwangmaumgui being caught by Cheongun, but the follow-up action was only just beginning.
In the past, the red-blooded leader of the Demonic Cult, the Gwangmaumgwi, who brought fear to the world.
Gwangmaumgui secretly took control of the Black Swordsmen, and his influence extended not only to Oksan County, but also beyond Sangyo City and all of Gangseo Province.
As a result, the black sects controlled by Gwangmaumgui were active throughout Gangseo Province.
Accordingly, the Murim Alliance launched a large-scale search, led by Kwae Cheong Cheon and Chupung Geom Dae. In doing so, they wiped out all the black bandits throughout the Gangseo Province.
But there was nothing that could be done about what the Black Swordsmen had already done.
This is when Namgung Se-ga’s Namgung Ye-rin and Cheonpung Geomdae stepped in. They provided clear ‘compensation’ to those who were harmed by this salt-feeding incident, and furthermore, they took the bold step of setting up relief centers and free distribution centers in each ‘ri’ of Gangseo Province.
It was obvious that a huge amount of money would be consumed since they were placed in each village, not just a county, but Namgung Se-ga was not stopped.
He did not hesitate to donate the money he had to people, as if he was taking full responsibility for this incident.
As a result, the reputation of Namgung Se-ga and the Murim Alliance grew day by day, and in particular, public sentiment toward Namgung Se-ga continued to soar as if it was piercing the sky.
Three months passed by in an instant.
* * *
“This is the last one!”
One of the Namgung Se-ga Cheonpung Swordsmen shouted while carrying supplies.
The winter air has become cold as the seasons change.
However, sweat was streaming down the faces of the Cheonpung Sword Unit soldiers carrying the supplies.
Namgung Yerin also helped them move supplies.
In addition to the goods provided by Cheongun, the materials provided by Namgung Se-ga were mixed together.
Namgung Yerin carefully checked the number of items.
When Namgung Se-ga heard the news that Namgung Ye-rin was staying in Gangseo Province to help the people, he also stepped forward.
As soon as Namgung Yu-ryong, the older brother of Namgung Ye-rin and the grand duke of Namgung Se-ga, heard the news, he opened Se-ga’s warehouse and took it out.
Although the general manager of Sega opened the warehouse to the extent of tearing down Namgung Yu-ryong, it was still nothing compared to the wealth that Cheong-un had given, which gave us an idea of how much wealth Cheong-un had given.
“People were so happy when they called us Namgung Se-ga.”
“Just three months ago, I was eating leftover rice···.”
“It looks like we’re something! Hahaha!”
That is why all of this could be said to be thanks to ‘Cheongun’.
“Miss, as you can see, the situation seems to have been settled. Now, let’s slowly head back to Sega.”
“Yes, please leave the rest to us.”
“His Highness the Grand Duke is also very worried.”
The unmanned soldiers of the Cheonpung Sword Corps, who had moved all the supplies, spoke.
Now that the salt-selling incident had been clearly ‘indicted’ and the corresponding ‘responsibility’ had been clearly established, it was time to slowly return to Sega.
She could not remain in Jiangxi Province forever. As the legitimate daughter of the Namgung family, Namgung Yerin had to return to Anhui Province.
It had already been about four or five months since I left Sega, so it was still very late for me to return.
but······.
“······.”
Namgung Yerin couldn’t bring herself to take a step forward.
If I leave like this, when will I be able to meet you again?
No, I wonder if we’ll ever meet again.
Namgung Yerin’s footsteps moved.
Then, one of the soldiers of the Cheonpung Sword asked.
“Miss? That’s not the direction of Sega.”
“Ah, that······.”
Namgung Yerin’s footsteps stopped for a moment and her head spun like a top.
“I thought I should at least say goodbye to Prince Yun.”
Namgung Yerin rolled her eyes left and right.
My heart was pounding with anxiety, wondering if my true feelings had been revealed.
Fortunately, the Cheonpung Swordsman did not think it was strange that Namgung Yerin went to meet Cheongun.
“Oh, right! I forgot to greet the Great Swordsman Cheongun!”
“We almost became shameless people who don’t know gratitude. Haha!”
“Let’s go together. We will also go and greet the Great Swordsman.”
On the contrary, the Cheonpung Swordsmen were also preparing to meet Cheongun. Namgung Yerin hurriedly waved her hands and shouted.
“No, I’ll go by myself. You don’t have to come with me.”
“You say it’s a hassle? It’s not worth it!”
“Yes! I’m going to pay my respects to the Great Swordsman Cheongun. It can’t be that difficult, right?”
“Even if it’s a hassle, if it’s Cheongun Daehyeop, I have to run right away.”
The fatigue disappeared from the faces of the Cheonpung Swordsmen.
Although the Cheonpung Swordsmen were very tired from distributing countless goods throughout the Gangseo Province, they all moved with bright colors at the word ‘Cheongun’.
Just like Namgung Yerin, the Cheonpung Swordsmen also received the grace of having their lives saved by Cheongun.
Furthermore, the Cheonpung Swordsmen were also members of the Namgung family and had received great favor from Cheongun, so they had no hesitation.
Of course, Namgung Yerin knew that fact······.
“I told you, I’m going alone!!”
Namgung Yerin suddenly shouted. The Cheonpung Swordsmen blinked and looked at each other’s faces.
Namgung Yerin bit her lower lip and avoided their gaze.
“If that’s what you really want, Miss······.”
“Oh, that’s right. Anyway, we’ll be staying in Gangseo-seong for a while···.”
“Then we······ will come see you separately later.”
The Cheonpunggeomdae warriors nodded with trembling faces, and Namgung Yerin quickened her pace as if running away.
* * *
Namgung Yerin was able to reach the mission office in half a day.
however.
“······?”
The scenery at the missionary office was strange.
It wasn’t the scenery of the missionary office that Namgung Yerin remembered.
Three months ago, it was a ‘mu-gwan’ that was like a dilapidated ruin, but now it was no different from a ‘manor’ of a noble family.
Is this the mission office?
However, Namgung Yerin was able to confirm that this was the missionary office when she saw a falcon dozing off on the rooftop, nesting there.
I guess there was another ‘Emperor’s Reward’.
Namgung Yerin grabbed the missionary’s doorknob.
Then, I remembered the last time I unintentionally spied on Cheongun’s training, so I changed my mind and knocked on the door.
Knock knock.
“Are you inside?”
-······Lady Namgung?
Then, Cheongun’s voice was heard from beyond the gate. And judging by the rough voice, it seemed that he was indeed in the middle of ‘training’.
I’m so glad I decided to knock on the door.
Namgung Yerin let out a sigh in secret.
-What brings you to the mission office?
Soon the missionary’s gate opened and Cheongun appeared.
and.
“······?”
Namgung Yerin’s head tilted involuntarily.
That’s understandable, because this man just opened the door and came out to greet me.
“Luck Prince······?”
······I wondered if it was Cheongun.
No, it was only about three months since I saw you, but the atmosphere and impression had completely changed.
Especially the atmosphere······.
A presence that makes you feel intimidated just by facing it.
Giant.
This was a presence that could only be felt from the head of the Namgung Se family, Namgung Sangcheon.
Namgung Sangcheon was Namgung Yerin’s father and one of the ten best martial arts masters in the world, the Thunder Sword Heavenly King.
That spirit of Namgung Sangcheon, like an ’emperor’······was felt from Cheongwoon right now.
‘······Uh, uh?’
Namgung Yerin couldn’t understand why she had such thoughts.
Moreover, it wasn’t just Cheongun’s ‘atmosphere’ that had changed.
Namgung Yerin glanced at Cheongwoon’s body and face.
Cheongun’s shoulders were broader than before. His impression of a modest country boy had become more manly.
It didn’t feel like a loose, breezy feeling like Cheon Cheong-cheon at all, but the muscles that were firmly positioned beyond the clothes were not that big, but they had a strong feel to them.
The sharp jawline emphasized strong masculinity, and the smooth yet graceful facial features softened the impression that could otherwise be quite stiff.
Moreover, the skin is so clean that it looks like it has a watery glow······
‘Looking at it this way, he seems handsome······?’
Before being a ‘martial artist’, Namgung Yerin was a ‘woman’ with a truly beautiful appearance that naturally captured the hearts and eyes of many.
But until just recently, Cheongun wasn’t like this.
Look closely at each other.
They say that when you meet a scholar after being away from him, you should rub your eyes and look him in the eye.
The more I looked at Cheongwoon, the more handsome he seemed.
‘What, what am I thinking…!’
Namgung Yerin’s face suddenly turned hot and flushed.
