The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 134
EP.134 Ten Chiefs - Blue Dragon Secretariat (4)
* * *
time flows again.
Fifteen days have passed and the Blue Dragon Secretariat meeting has been held..
As it was a business meeting with an unprecedented reward of a bottle of Gongcheong Petroleum, the atmosphere was quite different from previous times..
Total participants: 5,800.
That's how many people were cut and cut according to strict standards..
The criteria were skill level, background, and a short martial arts demonstration, but as such, there were an absurd number of accidents in the process of qualifying for participation..
“This doesn't make sense! I have more to show you! for a moment! Bimu! Please let me do some rubbing! Because I’m a practical person, ahhh!!!”
There was someone who refused to come down from the judging table, calling for a real fighter..
“It's because I'm not feeling well! See you again tomorrow! huh? If I'm in good condition, I can just do top-notch martial arts! I can do it.!”
There was someone who was clinging to me saying that he couldn't swing his sword well today..
“Dirty Jungwon Murim! In the end, it’s all about connections! hey! Do you know who I am? I am a lucky sign from Henan Province! huh? This is the man who will turn the world upside down in 10 years! I memorized all your faces! See you later!!!”
There was a person who had no skill, background, or martial arts, but was so confident that he threatened the judges..
“Jebaaaaal!!! Gongcheong Petroleumwoowoowoo!!!”
There was someone lying on the floor, rolling around and throwing a tantrum..
Dang Hwa-seo, who was appearing as a judge, looked into space with an exhausted face..
‘oh my god.’
The midfield is so wide..
There are so many crazy people in the world.
Perhaps even those vicious things in Tangmun were like new blood compared to these people?.
My tired and worn-out mind was reaching the point of glorifying the past..
“Danju must be going through a lot of trouble..”
Geumgeom Kwon Pyo-wol, who was sitting next to me, chuckled and said..
Danghwaseo smiled awkwardly and answered.
“What should I do? This happens because there are too few units..”
Originally, the judging panel was usually made up of senior officials from each group taking turns at different times..
Geumgeom Kwon Pyo-wol had also just arrived from other duties and participated in the screening of the next city council..
But Yongbongdan was different..
Total number of people: 6.
Half of them were participating in this secretariat meeting and could not participate in the judging, and the remaining two were assigned other tasks and could not be called here..
The result is this.
The Danghwa Office brought its share of work here and was processing documents in between examinations..
A look of pity appeared on Kwon Pyo-wol's face..
Danghwaseo passed that off with a smile..
As the review continued again,.
“Oh, this time it's from an academic institution..”
Kwon Pyo-wol said so..
Danghwaseo immediately checked the directory..
‘elegance?’
He was a military man named Go-Sang, and he was a military officer from the Yangmu Academy in Gangseo Province..
Yangmuhakgwan was an academy under Maeng, and it was famous for producing outstanding martial artists who reached the Yongbong branch finals every year..
In fact, at this year's Yongbong branch, Yangmuhakgwan's vice president appeared as one of Namgung Jincheon's opponents..
Of course, it collapsed due to the sum of everything..
Apart from that, Danghwaseo was puzzled..
“Usually, school children would want to participate in the Yongbong branch. That's unusual.”
“Aren't your dreams high? He probably wants to make a name for himself in the entire midfield, not just among his peers. Look here. Don't you say that you are the chief of this team?.”
“Hoo….”
When I looked again at Go-sang, he was a large man with thick eyebrows, and I could sense that he was a late-stage person with his smooth skin..
If I had to guess his age, he looked like he was in his mid to late twenties..
The weapon was a godfather..
‘He is a warrior who uses an axe..’
Considering that the head of an academy is usually someone who uses weapons with high versatility, it was unique..
I wonder if everyone was thinking that way, and I could see curiosity blooming above the tired looks of the other judges..
“This is the statue of the Yangmuhakkwan..”
Gosang took the reigns.
Kwon Pyo-wol said.
“Nice to meet you. Please start right away.”
Aside from curiosity, I said this because there were too many people waiting behind me and I couldn't give them much time..
Gosang nodded and held the godfather he was carrying with one hand..
And there was just one move.
Saaaa―
Gray energy waves formed on his body..
And when Gosang hit the bottom, boom! The ground split open with a sound..
For a moment there was silence in the space..
‘zenith!’
Danghwaseo let out an exclamation..
The students at the academy are at their peak..
Although the energy wave was only at the beginning of being unstable, it was quite admirable..
“Wow, it's the peak….”
“I had an epiphany by chance.”
“No need to say anything else. Pass..”
Kwon Pyo-wol said with satisfaction..
Danghwaseo also had a similar face..
While watching trivial things, I couldn't be happier to see this unmanned download for the first time in a while..
‘I may not be able to make it to the finals, but I will still show a good performance in the preliminaries..’
The final round of 128, or only 128 people, will be selected, so it will be difficult to enter the final stage..
But it is still a meaningful achievement.
It was positive news for the entire martial arts world that a martial artist from a non-prestigious academy reached his peak at a young age..
“Cheer up!.”
Danghwaseo said that with a smile..
The nobleman bowed, bowed, and left..
Such a refreshing atmosphere.
The judges' evaluation of the high award continued for a while but did not last long..
“Noeeee!!! I'm a swordsman?! It was anti-Roh movement! But I lost all my strength! Just one bottle of Gongcheong Petroleum will bring us back to the land again.!!!”
This is because the midfield was large and there were a lot of crazy people..
Meanwhile, Danghwaseo was shocked..
Sword Saint Mok Seon Oh.
It was the name of Mok Riwon's teacher and father..
How surprised I was when I heard that story on the way back from Sacheon..
Danghwaseo thought without thinking.
‘If Mok Sohyeop had seen this scene, he would have been in big trouble..’
Perhaps that man had to endure Mo Ri-won's very strong anger..
Called.
*
That evening, Yongbongdan’s Jeonggak Restaurant.
“Is there someone impersonating the teacher?!!!”
As expected, Mokriwon was furious..
Danghwaseo chuckled slightly..
The reason for talking wasn't much..
I was just talking about what happened today, and I was curious about how Mok Ri-won would react if I told this story..
A stronger reaction than expected.
His red face and trembling body showed his anger..
Danghwaseo put the joke aside and tried to calm him down..
“You don't have to be so angry. There is one type every year..”
“still! As the 11th disciple of my Shenglian Gate, I dare not sit idly by! Who is that man! I will go and feed you lots of honey chestnuts.!”
What I do at best is a sweet night..
It was cute.
“Still, isn’t it good to think differently??”
“hmm?”
“Isn’t there a lot of people who still remember the Sword Saint Daehyup?.”
At those words, Mok Riwon opened his eyes wide..
Then, ‘Ah… He made a sound and looked embarrassed on his red face..
“…I guess that too.”
For some reason he looked happy.
Now that Danghwaseo has learned of his recluse, he thought again..
It seems like Mok Riwon truly loves his teacher..
I was happy to see it, but at the same time I felt sad..
Mokriwon's priestly relationship was something that Danghwaseo could not achieve even though he had dreamed of it all his life..
‘…What kind of strategy.’
Danghwaseo shakes off his thoughts.
Then I asked.
“So, Sohyeop Mok, are your preparations going well??”
“ah! Fortunately, yes! I think I'll be able to complete Manlyeon Igeom's three meals soon.!”
“That's really fortunate.”
“You don't know how fortunate I am to have reached my peak. As heartbreaking as it is, isn't there a real benefit? You can skip the preliminaries. It occurred to me once again that Chojeoljeong is a truly recognized state in martial arts. Thanks to you, I gained time.”
What Mokriwon said was right..
The martial arts team that reached the peak was able to advance directly to the finals without any preliminaries..
The first reason was that it was obvious that they would pass anyway, and the second reason was to protect their pride at a time when they were considered to be the best warriors in the entire Jungwon martial arts world..
Mok Ri-won was a person who would do well in the preliminaries, but aren't talented people usually high-minded?.
Without having to go far, just looking at Namgungjin Bay was like that..
When Ilwoon said that it would be nice not to have to do the preliminaries, Namgung Jincheon snorted and said..
-Asking me to mix swords with those bastards is itself an insult to me..
It was another thing to be sad about Il-woon, who was reduced to a lowly level in an instant and had to come from the preliminaries..
Anyway, it's not important now..
“The preliminaries are held in one month and the finals held in one month. I guess I'll think he's dead for a while..”
“You must have had a lot of trouble.”
“Still, it's work so I have to do it. furthermore….”
“furthermore?”
“…no.”
Danghwaseo’s words were slurred..
‘There is no need to inform the Mok Sohyeop now..’
The real purpose of this Blue Dragon Secretariat Meeting.
If Mok Riwon knew that, he wouldn't be able to concentrate on dancing..
Danghwaseo didn't want to burden him..
‘You'll find out anyway.’
Mok Ri-won just wanted people to enjoy the dance until the time came..

Yangmuhakgwan’s flag bearer, senior honors award.
He entered a shabby shack a little far away from the village..
There was someone waiting for the nobleman inside..
“Are you here?.”
He was dressed in pure white Taoist attire and his grinning smile gave off a feeling of emptiness..
The sword at his waist had a shaman's symbol engraved on it, and the time he rode on the hilt showed how many times the man had swung this sword..
The man is none other than Seonryong (仙龍) Hyeongong.
He was the shaman's greatest disciple and one of the spies who came to the central plains from the Heavenly Demon Church..
Gosang bowed his head..
“Reign of a thousand demons, a fortune of ten thousand demons.”
“It is done. That kind of greeting.”
“yes.”
Gosang raised his head..
Hyeon-gong was pouring alcohol into a glass..
He was humming a song and was quite happy, and that's what he was muttering..
“I really missed this taste since I was hanging out with the Taoists..”
“yes.”
“How fortunate I am that the Blue Dragon Secretariat is now open..”
“That's right.”
Hyeon-gong raised his glass and put alcohol in his mouth..
And then, gulp, he put it down the back of his neck and said with a smile..
“How many did you plant??”
“I planted one twenty and second peak with the same peak as me..”
“planted?”
“…You are here.”
“is it so. Strong pride. Isn't it one of our important principles?.”
“I was rude.”
Hyeon-gong's eyes were fixed on Go-sang..
“There should be no mistakes. Lord Sogyo is paying great attention to this matter..”
“I will always keep you in mind.”
“Oh, and I'm leaving too. Cheongryong Secretariat.”
Gosang suddenly raised his head..
A look of surprise appeared on his face..
“…Do you mean directly??”
“Yes, fortunately I have a good background as a shaman. It's easy to get in and easy to deal with if a situation arises, so there's no reason not to do it..”
Gosang pursed his lips, then lowered his head..
“…So I understand.”
“If you want, go.”
“Cheonmagun….”
“That's it.”
flinch―
Gosang’s fingertips trembled..
He took his eyes off me and looked at Hyeon-gong, who was concentrating on his drink, and thought..
‘Dangchoi….’
A person who doesn't know what he's thinking.
But I couldn't resist.
Although he has been a spy since a very young age, he is the heir of one of the Six Gates of Magic..
‘…It must have meaning.’
A first-class spy award from the Heavenly Demon Church.
He decided not to question Protestant matters, as he had been taught all his life..
the night fell.
