The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 129
EP.129 Interlude - Sword King Appearance (1)
* * *
The main residence of the Nangungse of Anhui Province.
Namgungun, the sword of Changseong, knelt down on both knees and shouted to Namgunghyuk, the king of swords..
“Taesangajuniyim!!!”
That's what Namgoong-un was said to say..
A man who doesn't know how to make loud noises and always shows a smiling smile to others..
So a man as flawless as the blue sky.
However, there was someone like this who made a loud noise, and it was Namgoonghyuk right in front of me..
“It's not possible ah!!!”
Namgoongun's eyes were bloodshot..
there was no other reason.
“You're going on a field trip alone! What kind of big problem is this?!”
“your voice is high.”
“Doesn't it look high??!”
It's so frustrating, I'm going crazy..
Namgoonghyuk is holding his sword with a clumsy face, and you can feel his determination that he will never break his stubbornness..
“He said there was a place he had to go..”
“You didn't tell me the destination.!”
“….”
“Lord Taesang! Please be a little more aware of your position! Now you are the Sword King! Sword King! Also, if you have an accident outside, it won't just end with you hearing the sound of Geomchi.!”
If I were to say something new, it was like that..
Sword King Namgung Hyuk.
Sword Dragon Namgung Jincheon.
He is the grandson of that grandfather..
The two people's talent with the sword was worthy of being said to be the best in the world, but in other areas, it was to the point where I wondered if there was anyone who was this lacking..
How much trouble have you had to hide your not-so-funny social skills?.
Namgoong Woon has been by Namgoong Hyuk's side ever since he grew up and has always lived with his personality..
Slow speech is a result of reticence.
The stubborn nature turns into arrogance..
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the nickname King of Swords was also created by Namgoongun, so Namgoongun did not want his life's efforts to go to waste like this..
“I don’t know about other people, but I definitely do! You must follow along! I can't compromise on this much!”
Open your eyes and speak strongly.
“Can I stay alone in the guest room? Do you know how much a meal costs and can you manage your money? Can you find a way than that?!!!”
Namgoongwoon knew.
If you do this, Namgoonghyuk will reluctantly listen to you..
No, it will give you a little perspective on reality..
A man who has never once in his life thought about life on his own... Eventually he surrendered.
“…It's just you. Anything more is not possible..”
Changseong Sword Namgoongun.
Even today, he succeeded in protecting the dignity of the Namgung family..
*
The Taesang family head is away..
The entire Namgung Dynasty was shaken by that fact..
The most surprising thing is that his son and Namgung Jincheon's father, the current head of the family,.
“father!”
“I will come back.”
Namgoongun understood the mood of his cousin, the matriarch..
Anyway, since he is the only normal person between the father and son who look exactly alike, I would be worried about what would happen if these people go out at once..
There's no point in saying it's just a worry, a precedent has already been set..
The identity of Namgung Jincheon has been revealed to some extent..
It's been less than half a year since we headed to the Murim Alliance, but such rumors are already circulating in Gangho..
Sword Dragon Namgung Jincheon is not very smart..
Namgoongun quietly closed his eyes and expressed his despair..
“Lord of the house.”
“Una! you should stop me….”
“I will go with you!”
In an instant, countless emotions were tangled and untangled in the gazes of the two men..
There was a bond there that couldn't be defined in one word..
The matriarch eventually nodded with a determined expression..
Although the words were spoken silently, Namgoongun could understand their meaning..
‘Please.’
That's definitely true.
The moment Namgoong Hyuk was about to leave.
“grandfather!”
A young girl runs towards me at a brisk pace..
It was Namgung So-ah, the sister of Namgung Jincheon..
Namgoong Soah hugged Namgoong Hyuk tightly..
“Where are you going, grandpa??”
“I'm going for a massage.”
“yes?”
Namgoong Soah’s head tilted..
Namgoong Hyuk wrinkled his nose, then patted Namgoong Soa’s head..
“Don't neglect your studies.”
“yes!”
These words come from someone who used to tear up books while studying, so a very strange sentiment comes to mind..
Namgoongun shook off the thoughts that came to his mind and picked up Namgoong Soa and handed it to the head of the family..
It was a real departure.
*
After leaving Anhui, Namgunghyuk headed straight to Gangseo Province..
And the place they arrived was a small village in Suyang County, and Namgoongun had no idea who his uncle was visiting in this village..
“Lord Taesang?”
“Come on.”
“What is your destination??”
“mountain valley.”
“yes?”
“They said it was in the mountains.”
Namgoongun closed his mouth and looked at Namgoonghyuk..
‘…Your prayers have become sharper.’
I'm almost out of breath..
Namgoongwoon finally realized.
Who did he come to meet?.
As far as Namgung Un knew, there was only one person in the whole of the Jungwon martial arts world that Namgung Hyuk could prepare for a secret dance by refining his prayers to this extent..
“…Are you here to meet the Sword Saint Daehyup??”
Sword Saint Mok Seon Oh.
The best in the world from the past who abandoned his lofty name and left the world..
Namgoonghyuk did not answer..
Instead, I answered by simply closing my eyes and meditating..
They could feel all the eyes in the guesthouse focusing on them, but Namgoonghyuk didn't move a single inch..
And then I slowly let go of my prayers..
A prayer that does not feel overly intimidating, but simply radiates presence..
It was a prayer that seemed to call someone..
Namgoongun felt the tension rising..
‘He is truly alive.’
In fact, 18 years have passed since he left Kangho and no news has been heard from him..
It is no exaggeration to think that he is dead..
Look at it.
Namgoong Hyuk is calling him with confidence..
Namgoongwoon knew.
Namgoonghyuk may have simple thoughts, but he was not a man who spent time on unnecessary things..
Soon, Namgoongun was startled and shook his head..
This is because there is an overwhelming energy felt behind my back..
“…You damn Geomchi bastard. I finally found my way here?”
Grumbling of a grumpy old man.
Namgoongun knew this voice..
Stand up suddenly.
Then he took a bow and greeted the old man..
“Girl come….”
Bah! And King Mile Seok grabbed Nam Gung Un’s head..
“100 million!”
“Don't make a fuss. Yon Seok-ah.”
rude words.
Namgoonghyuk answered.
“Guide me.”
Mile Seok’s eyes trembled..
“…This guy's attitude is so impure.?”
“I'm not interested in weak people..”
“This bastard?”
Namgoongun felt his heart tremble..
*
Climbing the mountain valley.
While doing so, Namgoonghyeok only refined his prayers..
‘Getting closer.’
A nostalgic yet unpleasant energy wave, a cold energy wave that had always existed only as a wall, had been occupying the entire space since it crossed the three valleys..
Namgoonghyuk felt his hands itching..
So I looked back on the past time..
18 years since he left Kangho.
Namgoong Hyuk only had one worry in mind..
‘how to win.’
Mokseonoh is the best in the world..
That proposition was a fact that Namgung-hyuk acknowledged at the age of Ji Cheon-myeong..
As I acknowledged that fact, my mindset changed from before..
It cannot be pressed down by force..
You can't overcome it with technique..
So I just hang on persistently..
I just become a fighting dog and hang my neck for victory..
As the thoughts continue, the energy waves gain more weight..
Not just tension, but also anticipation..
18It's not just you that has grown over the years..
He was the best in the world back then, but how far has he grown?.
What kind of scene are you looking at again?.
End of continued thoughts.
“…sword king?”
Namgoonghyeok faced an old man sweeping a house in the yard of a small thatched house..
“…swordsman.”
“How is this… It's been a long time indeed!”
Sword Saint Mok Seon-oh smiled brightly..
His face looked much older than Namgoong Hyuk remembered..
The years engraved on my face blur my features..
Because of that, I think my face, which was objectively ugly, is now better than before..
Is your back bent? No, it's still upright..
And the hand that was scrubbing had colorful curves..
very satisfied.
He wasn't letting go of his sword..
“Let’s see… Yes, it's a hanger. Go and get me a drink. A guest has come here, so shouldn’t we at least treat him well?.”
“Oh my brother, do you also treat these people as guests?.”
“Hehe, you're still on bad terms with the Sword King. Please don't do that..”
Mile-seok grumbles and leaves behind the thatched hut..
Only then did Mok Seon-oh's gaze land on Nam Gung-un, and it seemed as if Nam Gung-un's face had not been forgotten either..
“Oh, wasn't that lucky?!”
“Meet the Great Swordsman!”
Namgoongun bows his head while holding his hand..
For some reason, he seemed excited, but Namgoong Hyuk didn't really like it..
“Oh my god, when did I grow up so much? The last time I saw it, it was still green..”
“haha! Aren’t I also now at the age where I’m looking at the fate of death? I am married and have two children.!”
“That's a real ramp.”
Namgoong Hyuk was worried in the friendly atmosphere..
When should I step forward?.
If this continues, won’t I be able to continue mixing for the rest of my life?.
Concerns that lasted for a while.
At the end, Namgoonghyuk pulled out his sword..
sreung―
“Stop talking nonsense.”
I was relieved of energy.
“Geomseong, mixed.”
Mok Seon-oh closed his eyes..
Namgoong Hyuk gestured..
“bring a sword.”
“My temperament is so impatient..”
“That's why I came here.”
“Still, please wait a moment.?”
Mok Seon Oh turned his head..
Mile Seok was coming out with a drink table..
“How about clearing the loophole??”
“Eh? This Geomtooth bastard! I couldn't stand it any longer and pulled out my sword again.?!”
Mile-seok puts the drinking table on the floor and shouts angrily..
Namgoongwoon whispers next to me.
“Tae, Taesang Family Lord! First, add black! There's no need to rush, right? You are so welcoming.”
Namgoong Hyuk has a bumpy face..
I want to swing my sword right now, but how can there be no one to help me?.
It's just deplorable.
Namgoonghyuk immediately put away his sword and went to sit on the floor..
“…I don't like long stories.”
“Damn, I guess it's because I'm running backwards..”
“….”
“Oh, girl king!”
Namgoongwoon is in a hurry..
Namgoonghyuk snorted, ‘Hmph!’ and lifted his drink..
At that moment, Mok Seon-oh said.
“…I heard the news of the poison king.”
Namgoonghyuk’s movements stopped..
When I looked up, Mok Seon-oh had a bitter look on his face..
“They say he self-destructed due to poison. At the same time, the past misdeeds were revealed..”
He's a poison king.
Yeah, there was one like that too..
A nerd who didn't even know how to struggle with a subject he was weak at.
Namgoonghyuk soon came up with something about a party drama..
It was the first time I heard of Hana's death..
“Was it so??”
“How can you be darker about the news of the world than me, who lives in the mountains?.”
“They just don't care.”
“It's really you.”
Mok Seon Oh laughed..
Then he held out his glass and said.
“First of all, would you please raise a glass to your once comrade in arms??”
Namgoonghyuk looked at the glass held by Mok Seon-oh for a moment, then lifted his own glass..
“It's not difficult.”
When I said that, Mok Seon-oh smiled softly..
