Episode 176: Do you really want to hear old stories (7)

Iron Hyeopgeom Joo Gong-il was a solid man.

Of course, his trained body was strong, but what was even stronger than that was his mind.

“Yang Hu, my name is Baek Han-young.”

Joo Gong-il’s grave voice took me out of my thoughts and I answered.

“That’s right.”

“hmm.”

Joo Gong-il looked at me calmly. I made eye contact with him. Eyes like quiet lakes looked right through me.

“You said you wanted martial arts.”

“yes.”

“If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”

Joo Gong-il picked up the book on the nightstand next to him and handed it to me.

“Can you read?”

“Thanks to the teacher’s extensive knowledge.”

“Thank goodness. “If there’s something you don’t understand, you can always ask.”

“… … .”

I skimmed through the title of the book that Joo Gong-il handed me.

[Silver Star Sword Method]

“This is a German martial arts technique from a guy who was once famous as a peak master. “It will be useful.”

I quickly checked the contents of the official document.

No matter how I looked at it, it was authentic.

… Are you just giving me this?

I raised my head. Zhou Gong-il was having a conversation with Yang Hu.

Joo Gong-il speaks to Yang Hu in a gentle voice. My mind became confused as I couldn’t figure out his intentions.

Zhou Gongil has already gone beyond the point of paying an appropriate price. That was a long time ago too.

Is it really right to interpret his actions as simple favors?

okay. It was just like being suspicious when you see a pathologically kind person.

As long as he was human, he couldn’t be that kind. I couldn’t help others like that.

So, you start to suspect that things are different on the inside.

This is because the opponent is the main attack.

If Yang Hu had been like this, he would have struggled to expose his dark intentions, but Zhou Gong-il is a great person. He enjoyed giving to people and lived by helping people. And that too for a lifetime.

Wrinkles are visible around Joo Gong-il’s eyes. Each of those wrinkles told of the years that Joo Gong-il had lived so far.

It has maintained its reputation as a great cooperative for a long time. If it had been maintained for that long, it was right to believe it, even if it was hypocrisy.

“I think it’s somewhat settled now, so let’s get to the point.”

“What about the main point?”

“Shouldn’t we have heard in advance about the demon head and black blood demon we have to deal with?”

* * *

Black blood horse. He was a famous Madou until about 30 years ago.

It means Madura, who was already infamous at the time when Joo Gong-il had just appeared in Gangho.

The Black Blood Demon’s single martial art was the Dark Demon Hand, a vicious martial art that destroyed everything it touched.

The martial arts level of the Black Blood Demon is at its peak. He was on the same level as Zhou Gong-il.

While this is definitely not an easy opponent.

Zhou Gong-il, along with a number of ronin people, including Yang Hu and I, entered the wooden village where Madou was located.

The wooden village located between Jingju and Hanam had a fairly large floating population. Thanks to this, it wasn’t too strange when Joo Gong-il and a group of ronin came in.

“Let’s rest for a while.”

Following Joo Gong-il’s words, we entered a guesthouse nearby.

As I sat down, I quietly reflected on the contents of the Silver Star Sword Technique.

Maybe it was because I read so much on the way to the wooden execution village that I could tell you the contents of Silver Star Sword Technique even with my eyes closed.

Eunseong’s sword method was a sword method that contained the techniques of typical Gwae (快).

The key is to fall gracefully but quickly, like a silver meteor falling with its tail in its mouth.

It was a martial arts skill that was good for cooking and eating in many ways because it was a powerful herbivore.

“Sogwi-dong.”

“I’m thinking. Do not talk to me.”

“Well, what do you think? “First-class martial arts skills.”

“I told you not to talk to me… … . not bad.”

“You mean it’s good?”

“well.”

I responded vaguely to Yang Hu’s words.

It’s not bad. This was true. Because top-notch martial arts helped me as expected.

However, when asked if it was good, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

If I were to compare first-class martial arts, yes.

It was just enough to clarify concepts that I already knew to some extent.

I’ll have to see more of other martial arts skills to find out, but maybe I-.

“I guess the silver star sword technique helped.”

dump. Joo Gong-il sat in front and spoke.

Since it was not polite for an employee to ignore what his employer said, I answered right away.

“Quite a bit.”

“Quite a lot. “How old are you?”

“I passed the terms and conditions last year.”

“You’re already saying things you don’t like at that age. “This isn’t like kids these days.”

It seems that Joo Gong-il realized that the Silver Star Sword Technique was not of much help to me.

But this was something I had to check for myself to find out. I didn’t particularly regret receiving a first-class martial arts award.

“They passed the terms and conditions last year.”

“yes.”

“I remember the time when I was a martial artist. “What about the world?”

How is the world?

“really.”

“really?”

“Well, it seemed like shit.”

At least it wasn’t a good place to live.

Joo Gong-il laughed. It seemed like the answer I expected.

“It doesn’t just happen for a day or two that the world becomes trash.”

“is that so.”

“Yes, really. “It doesn’t happen in one or two days.”

Joo Gong-il’s voice lowered slightly. It was such a subtle change that you wouldn’t have noticed it if you weren’t paying close attention.

what. Did I touch something disgusting?

It was when I slightly opened my mouth, wondering if I had made a mistake.

“The reason the world is a mess is because you have no fun living, Sogwi-dong.”

Yang Hu joined the conversation.

Yang Hu, who looked distracted at first glance, did not seem to have noticed the subtle changes in Zhou Gong-il and intervened, but rather seemed to have intervened purely out of ignorance.

“Live a boring life. “How can Baek Han-young’s small cooperative live?”

“I just practice training every day. “You don’t drink much, and you don’t get jaundice?”

“Well, that’s really not like kids these days.”

Joo Gong-il chuckled, took a sip of tea, and continued speaking.

“Do you have a romantic partner?”

“I know. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“I wonder if there is one.”

The original owner of the body, Cheong Mu-hyeok, was not there, nor was I. In the first place, I didn’t have enough mental space or physical time to make something like that.

“is it.”

In response to my answer, Joo Gong-il looked at the teacup filled with tea for a long time. and.

“That would be better for now.”

After saying those words, he moved to the place where other ronins were gathered.

“What is that?”

It seems that Yang Hu, who just made the gun, also felt something strange.

I answered with a shrug and put my chopsticks to my food.

It was soon a battle.

I had to fill my stomach to gain strength.

* * *

As you may know, Mokhyeongchon (木衡村) has the word ‘tree shepherd’ in its name, but there were many mountains nearby. It means that it is a perfect place for someone to hide.

You did a great job finding the guy hiding in a place like this. Amazed once again by Joo Gonghyeonga’s intelligence, I followed Joo Gongil.

Sigh. Joo Gong-il raised his hand.

At the promised signal we dispersed.

In front, I saw a clearing and a cave created by the forest being cut off.

Is that the dark blood demon’s hideout?

After confirming that there were no traps nearby, Joo Gong-il slowly walked towards the cave. The strongest person here is Joo Gong-il. It was right for him to take the lead.

Joo Gong-il, standing slightly away from the cave, opened his mouth.

“Black blood demon, come out.”

A voice without any inner strength. Strangely enough, Joo Gong-il’s voice echoed throughout the forest.

… … .

There was no particular response. Could it be that the information is wrong? The moment I thought about it.

wickedness-.

The surroundings became quiet.

The forest is basically noisy. This happened because it was full of life.

From large wild animals to small insects. The forest, full of countless creatures, was noisy with small sounds at any moment.

Not now.

All that was around was the sound of the wind passing through the tree branches.

Although it was an abnormal situation, I knew that it was inversely a normal situation.

An eerie energy emanated from within the cave. A deep, dark force that held all living things breathless.

Jump and jump.

Footsteps were heard, and someone appeared inside the cave.

“Some kid is calling me.”

“Is it a black blooded horse?”

“If someone says something, you have to answer, you insolent bastard.”

The first impression of the Black Blood Demon was ordinary. An old man everywhere, that was the appearance of the Black Blood Demon.

But even so, the feeling was completely different from that of an ordinary old man.

Just looking at it sent shivers down my spine. It was all because of the inner strength possessed by the Black Blood Demon.

“Yes, this is a black blood demon. “What is the name of you who found this black blood demon?”

“It’s a public holiday.”

“Ju Gong-il… … . ah. Is it an iron sword? “Daehyeop took off his heavy ass.”

The black blood demon grumbled. It seemed very interesting that Joo Gong-il had come.

Instead of responding, Joo Gong-il pulled out his sword.

“Your evil deeds have reached the sky, Black Blood Demon. “Please pay the price quietly.”

“It’s an evil deed. “I heard that this committee hasn’t done anything recently?”

According to the words of the black blood demon, Joo Gong-il.

“Recent events are not my concern.”

Googoo googung.

I raised my strength.

In line with that, the Black Blood Demon also increased its internal power.

The two forces combined and the air was pushed out. I swallowed hard and placed my hand on the sword handle.

Right after.

Kwaaaaang!

With a huge explosion, the two bodies shot forward.

“Fuck you.”

I can hear Yang Hu freaking out next to me. It was worth it. I was also holding back my swearing right now.

Extreme expert. I’ve heard it a lot verbally. At that point, they say he can fly in the sky and split rocks and lakes.

I thought it was an exaggeration. Because humans originally had the instinct to sprinkle MSG when talking about something.

But no. In fact, it was the opposite.

It’s not an exaggeration, but it felt understated.

Starlight gathers on Joo Gong-il’s sword. It was a destructive starlight, a sword that could destroy anything.

Zhou Gongxiang, the family of Zhou Gong-il, was a martial arts family famous for its swordsmanship. Zhou Gongxian family’s home martial arts technique is the Seven-Hyeon Sword Technique. It was a swordsmanship that became famous for executing evil and establishing justice.

Zhou Gong-il’s sword draws the first line. The fastest line connecting the first and second of the seven points is drawn in the air.

Seven-Hyun Sword Technique (七玄劍法), 1 method.

Cheonchu (天樞).

Like a star that always shines brightly in its place, like an unchanging heart, the sword filled with steel moves forward. Neither fast nor slow. Just be consistent and honest.

It wasn’t fast, so it seemed like it could be easily avoided at first glance, but that was an illusion only someone who didn’t stand in front of Zhou Gong-il’s sword could make.

Anyone who stands in front of Zhou Gong-il’s sword knows that no matter where he avoids, that sword follows him like a ghost.

There was only one way to avoid the North Star in the night sky.

Covering the starlight with darkness. Any other method was meaningless.

The black water strikes away Ju Gong-il’s sword. When the sword and the sword meet, a strong shock wave explodes.

The Black Blood Demon, who blocked Zhou Gong-il’s sword strike with his black demon hand, tilted his head for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“I vaguely remember the swordsmanship. “Oh, have you ever met me before?”
