The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 133
EP.133 Ten Chiefs - Blue Dragon Secret Service Association (3)
* * *
About a week later.
Mok Riwon was meditating in the lotus position in the practice hall..
What comes to mind is the enemies I've faced so far in Gangho..
It was about putting the sword I shared with them and the enlightenment I gained through it together..
‘It's still not enough.’
It would be right to say that.
The reason for the evaluation was nothing else..
This is because Mokriwon was not yet strong as a warrior without Cheonsalseong..
I had an excuse.
The enemies he faced were all of a higher level than him, and the battle against them was an arduous battle that had to be won at all costs..
And in most cases, they only used the natural ability to the extent that it was controllable..
But it was a meaningless excuse.
Mokriwon acknowledged it..
‘We can't fight like this forever.’
The precarious sword dance that continues on the single-wood bridge will one day lead to falling off a cliff..
The path Mok Ri-won had to take as a warrior and a charlatan was as clear as that..
‘Suppressing one's selfishness even more.’
I will relieve the sword wielded by murderous intent and wield it with skill and reason..
For that purpose, I will create a sword that cannot be used without skill..
Mok Riwon opened his eyes..
He got up from his seat and immediately grabbed the wooden sword and started swinging it slowly..
This is to weave the next first meal of Manryeon Igeom, which has only completed the second meal..
That was fifteen days before the Blue Dragon Secretariat meeting..

If you had to choose the biggest festival of the year in Gangho Moorim, it was definitely the Cheongryongbimuhoe..
The Yongbong branch also has great enthusiasm, but is it a society where the powerful are satisfied with the vigor of young blood?.
The river is wide.
And there are as many gijinisa in it as there are grains of sand on the beach..
For those who are always thirsty for new masters and new winds, and for those who like to stand in line, there is no festival that satisfies that thirst like the Cheongryongbimuhoe..
Anyway, the person who came out of the Cheongryong secret martial arts association 30 years ago was none other than Geomseong (劒星) Mok Seon-oh, so their longing could not be said to be in vain..
hubei wuhan.
This city, where the headquarters of the Murim League is located, was shaking with such excitement..
“The secretariat meeting starts in 15 days..”
“I'm already looking forward to seeing what kind of expert will come out this time. Why, wasn't there a rumor that Ha Chang-soo, who appeared in the empty sword the year before last, would also participate?.”
“Oh, you mean the runner-up from last year??”
“That's right, they said the reason I didn't show up last year was because I had to go to a closed training center. From what I hear, doesn't it mean that the state has become more mature?.”
“Ho... Is that so? So do you know this? Iljigeom (一knowledge power) Unjeong, the great disciple of Hwasan, appeared at this secret martial arts meeting.!”
“oh!”
The guesthouse was noisy..
There was a lot of talk about who would participate in this secretariat meeting and who would show a good performance..
Meanwhile, a man quietly came and sat down where the two men were talking..
“The executioners aren't talking about the person they should be paying attention to..”
The name of the man talking with a grinning smile is Wang He..
He was an enthusiastic follower of Mok Ri-won, who fell in love with Mok Ri-won's martial arts during the Yongbong branch and followed his movements..
After collecting rumors for a while about what happened in Shaanxi, he came out to this world again to see Mogliwon..
“you are….”
“I am a guest who came to enjoy the festival. Didn't I hear the executioners' words while I was killing time by drinking alone in my corner? Blank sword and Ilji sword. He is definitely a strong warrior. But since there is another master that you haven't told me about yet, I decided to tell you about him, so I'm here..”
The men’s curiosity arose at Wang He’s words..
“Ho... Any good information is always welcome. Would you like a drink??”
“I will be grateful..”
Wang He took the glass and drank it refreshingly..
And then! He said, putting down his glass..
“In fact, I am picking only one person as the winner of this Blue Dragon Secretariat Conference..”
“Who is that? There is such a master that we don't know about.?”
“Yes! Be there or not!”
Wang He's voice gained strength..
The men swallowed their saliva nervously..
It wasn't just them.
The people around the room were also holding their breath as they stopped talking at Wang He's words..
This was quite a pleasure for Wang He..
It would be fun to tease them a little longer, but that wasn't Wang He's purpose today..
So Wang He immediately said.
“Mukryong! How can you pick others as candidates for the championship when you have that guy??”
A voice filled with firm conviction.
At that, the entire area around Wang He became quiet..
At that moment, a 'push' sound was heard from somewhere..
A double wick lit up in Wang He's eyes..
“Who?! I just laughed!”
In the direction I turned, there was someone who looked like a ronin covering his mouth..
At first glance, he was a third- or second-rate warrior, but he stuttered for a long time as if he had heard a rare joke before finally speaking..
“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at you.”
“Why do you keep smiling when you say you're sorry??”
“But that's not the case. Mukryong. Well, it is definitely a monster that is breaking world records at an unprecedented speed. But... This is not the Yongbong branch.?”
Wang He's face turned red..
Meanwhile, the man continued talking..
“You won't know after a few years. At that time, it can be said that it is really the time of Mukryong's strength, and he may stand out and stand at the top of the Baekdo martial arts. However, he is not too young now..”
“Just because I'm young….”
“You can't underestimate it. I'm just stating the truth. I heard that we have just reached the beginning of the peak. I wonder if only one or two of those attending this time have entered the peak. Masters from all over the river are flocking here. Because of that winning reward..”
A bottle of Gongcheong Petroleum.
It is a treasure that is truly undeserved for the reward of a non-dance competition..
Wang He was also annoyed because he knew that..
‘…It's definitely true though.’
One bottle of it is at least one and a half cups of energy..
For this reason, representatives of prestigious political factions who have not attended the Blue Dragon Secretariat in recent years are also casting their votes..
In other words, most of Kangho's transcendent peaks are concentrated in this secret martial arts club..
Even the former masters did the same..
“I also understand the executioner’s feelings. Does Mukryong usually have a great review index? Ah, with his talent, he should be able to at least make it to the finals with ease. I won't deny that.”
Wang He trembled at the man’s words..
he is right.
That's true, but I didn't want to admit it.
At least the Mokriwon that Wang He knows is a man who does not conform to other people's expectations and is a man who shows off his expectations..
That's because he's a man who makes you look forward to what's next with his cheekiness and spirit..
Wang He wanted to convey that.
The moment I stood up with that in mind, there was someone who stepped forward first..
“Then the executioner knows that.?”
Wang He's head turned..
The person there was a fairly old man, and his level of martial arts was similar to that of Wang He..
He looked like he was studying writing, as he was dressed in somewhat shabby-looking clothes and had a brush sticking out of his luggage..
He said.
“Mukryong is a man who grows even while fighting. If he holds out just a little longer, all the warriors in this martial arts club might be inspired by his experience..”
“That's not too much to say?”
“With stereotypical thinking, you can't see beyond the wall..”
The old man grinned..
Then the man who had been triumphant just before started trembling..
Wang He felt a strange attraction to the person he had never met before..
It would be nice to say it is a sense of homogeneity..
Since I support the same person, I feel like I want to talk to him more..
When the man closed his mouth, the old man chuckled and gestured..
“Execution place. You seem to have a good conversation with me. I'd like to have a drink.?”
“Ah, good! I happened to feel the same way.!”
Wang He joined the old man..
And then he took the gun and asked:.
“It's called Wangheo. Maybe I can get an introduction from the executioner.?”
The old man laughed softly, then turned to face him and said,.
“Kwak Chil, my name is Kwak Chil..”
a refreshing greeting.
This was the first meeting between Wang Heo, a third-rate warrior, and Kwak Chil-pyo, the author of [The Story of a Strong and Cooperative Agent]..

Yongbongdan’s pavilion was busy..
The first reason is that the work of Danghwaseo has increased as the Blue Dragon Secretariat has become closer..
The second reason was because the members participating in the secretariat became more sensitive..
Namgung Jincheon locked himself in the practice room and did not come out as he was trying to dissolve the nutrients and naedan he had collected..
Ilwoon was so distraught that he spent most of the day chanting Buddhist prayers, and that was what he did when he went to Mokriwon..
“Sozer. What do you think a sword is??”
I've been asking that question all day.
He came to the office and asked about the sword, but there was nothing he could say..
This is because the Danghwaseo is not inspected in the first place..
“…Are you deeply worried??”
All I can do is ask those questions.
Then Mokriwon gives the same answer this time too..
“I don't know. If I take everything away and just think about the sword, I don't know what this sword is..”
Mok Riwon was depressed..
I enjoyed talking to him because the atmosphere was pretty good for a while, but these days, I was starting to get worried because he seemed to be worrying so much..
I want to help, but I still don't know..
“Umm….”
Danghwaseo left the documents he was processing and sat next to Mokriwon..
I grabbed Mok Riwon’s cheek and lifted his face..
Mok Riwon was startled..
I felt satisfied with my increasingly red face, but even then, something caught my eye..
“You have become emaciated.”
“Umm…?”
“Look at this. The area under my eyes is dark. Are you sleeping well these days??”
Mokriwon was startled and averted his eyes..
It seems like he's definitely sleeping less..
Danghwaseo narrowed his eyes..
“narrow neck.”
“That, that….”
“Look me straight in the eyes and say.”
Mokriwon hesitated..
I pursed my lips and looked at the danghwabook and averted my eyes..
For a long time, I could barely speak..
“…I want to suppress my instincts even more. The more I lean on this, the more I feel like I'm fighting with myself as collateral..”
“ah.”
I understood Danghwaseo at once..
‘That's right….’
I forgot about it because it looked so cute..
Mokriwon was the master of the nature of death and lived every moment worrying about suppressing it..
What suddenly came to mind was shame..
Even as Mok Ri-won is worried like this, he feels ashamed of himself for only thinking about how to overcome this..
Danghwaseo cleared his throat loudly for no reason..
Then Mokriwon said:.
“I'm sorry. You'll have to worry about this yourself.….”
“What does that mean? Of course, we have to think about it together. Aren't we friends?.”
“close friend…!”
“Yes, irreplaceable, the only best friend in the world..”
“hmm? But my brother Zhuge….”
“Who are you closer to, Jegal San or me??”
“Sojeo!”
“Well done… no, that's right.”
Danghwaseo corrected the nonsense words..
And then he changed his expression and smiled softly..
“If you have such concerns, I will always be there for you. As I once said, I think Sohyeop Mok is a person who will never be defeated by fate..”
“soger…!”
Mok Ri-won made a sad face..
‘Well, I don't think this was what it was about..’
Anyway, isn't it a success because Mokriwon helped me get away from my worries for a while?.
Danghwaseo decided to think positively..
“If you are immersed in the same concerns, your perspective will become narrow. If you don't get enough sleep, nothing works. So how about sleeping a little deeper today and clearing your head??”
“That sounds like a pretty reasonable method! I'll try it once!”
Mok Riwon suddenly woke up..
“Sorry to disturb you! Then, I will try to sleep right now.!”
“hmm? Isn’t it time for the sun to set yet??”
“I'll try to sleep hard!”
Mok Ri-won said that and left the office..
Danghwaseo looked at the hand that had been touching Mokriwon's cheek just moments before and expressed a small regret..
Danghwaseo became a little more honest about his own desires..
