The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 222
EP.223 Chapter 2 - Appearance, Meeting (3)
* * *
Mok Ri-won set out with Oh Yeong-pyo as his escort..
It was a truly beneficial time for him..
Anyway, wouldn't it be that Woo-sam, with whom he happened to become close friends, told him about Kang-ho's movements that Mok-ri-won had never heard of?.
“As I said, the major factions of the powerful clans declared the Bongmun one after another. If 7 years is short, it's short, but if it's long, it's a long time, but that's usually the case, right? Now that the giants who control and shake the region are gone, flocks of wildcats are running wild..”
Woosam said.
“Small factions trying to take the place the tigers left are all in flames. To put it bluntly, there are some who say that the current era is the Warring States Period..”
“I guess so.”
Mo Liwon couldn't help but laugh bitterly at his words..
The martial arts world he knows is a land of shamans who know righteousness and righteousness and sacrifice their whole bodies for the salvation of the people, but the reality is still far from that..
But now even Mokriwon knows.
That you can't live reality with ideals alone.
That not everyone can live like that..
‘So I have to do it too..’
Mo Ri-won closed his eyes and muttered to himself..
It was like that.
“Oh, then I don’t even know about the Mukryong Daehyup.?”
“hmm?”
“Changseong Sabaekun Daehyup has stepped down from the position of leader. The current leader is Haepa Sword Gyeon-gwal..”
Mok Riwon was greatly surprised..
“Is that true? How can Changseong….”
“You are old, right? I heard she went away to some secluded place..”
“ah….”
A sigh flowed out..
This is because even as Mokriwon, who did not have a very close relationship with Sa Baek-un, there were many aspects of Sa Baek-un that were worthy of respect..
I wanted to say hello when we meet again.
“Did you say anything about where you went??”
“I'm doing well too….”
Woosam scratched his cheek shyly..
Mo Ri-won could not say anything more due to that expression..
“Well, given his personality, I don't think he would have created any more trouble..”
“Do you have any friends??”
“You were once a member of the group..”
“ah!”
Woosam’s eyes lit up burdenedly..
It was that kind of moment.
“Sanya! Help me prepare for camp.!”
“Ah, yep! Great cooperation! Then I'll be back.!”
“Yes..”
It's already sunset.
Mokriwon remained alone and watched the sun set over the mountain pass..
‘A lot has changed.’
If you sum up the information I've heard so far, it was like that..
‘Nangong's older brother is half missing, and Zhuge's older brother has become the head of the Zhuge family.….’
That's not the usual way either..
Doesn't that mean that as soon as he started carrying out his duties as the head of the family, he kicked out all the people on his mother's side?.
Considering the past that I only heard about at first glance, Zhuge Shan is now done with revenge..
How are you doing? Will we be able to meet at this festival?.
Mok Ri-won, who was thinking, then thought of Hye-un and Il-un..
‘Monk Hyeun said his whereabouts are unknown, and Monk Ilun said….’
To be precise, I have heard that Shaolin has been called Fengmun ever since the Great War when Master Yuanming passed away..
Are you saying that you will untie the seal and come out on this special day?.
Once we met, it seemed like it was a sure thing..
So now there was only one thing to think about.
‘…soger.’
Tension appeared in Mo Liwon’s body..
To be honest, Mok Ri-won was quite afraid of meeting Dang Hwa-seo..
It wasn't like this from the beginning, it was because of a rumor that Woosam told me..
-According to the rumors I heard? Isn't it true that he has been grinding his bones a lot since the Great War? What did they say… He goes around saying that there is someone he must meet again, but if he is someone he will meet after honing his military power like that, he is clearly the enemy of the Buddha.!
There's someone I need to meet so I'm grinding my bones.
Mo Liwon had nothing to say even when she told him that he was the one she had to catch and kill..
He said he had something to say when we met again, but then he disappeared for seven years..
‘I didn't know it would take 7 years….’
Who would have known that there was a secret hidden in the treasure of Seongryun?.
It was inevitable that the period would be longer since it not only stabilized the body but also performed the extraordinary performance at the same time..
Of course, whether this excuse would work for Danghwaseo was another story..
‘…Well, we need to think about a way from now on..’
Mo Ri-won stared at the dirt floor with a nervous look on his face and worried..
Should I kneel as soon as we meet?.
Or should we hold hands or hug as if nothing happened?.
‘No, if I do that, I might get addicted and be carried away..’
The poison of Danghwaseo is special. It is a poisonous attack that emits extreme poison that causes dozens of changes in an instant based on a body that has achieved invulnerability to all poisons, so even if the body has reached transcendence, there is no guarantee that it will be safe..
‘It would be better to postpone meeting….’
Isn’t that really the case when you die and I die?.
Mokriwon’s sigh deepened..
“Mukryong Daehyup! Welcome, let’s eat first.!”
Woosam just smiled brightly, unaware of Mok Riwon's intentions..

Somewhere in Gwiju, the southern tip of the central plains.
There was a man walking through a private house in the mountains, not too far from the headquarters of the Black Silhouettes, but not too close to the territory of the Black Islanders..
Wearing shabby clothes and carrying a wild boar on his shoulder, he looked like a hunter, but he was clearly not an ordinary person..
The blue eyes that appeared before the messy hair or spiky, unkempt beard immediately revealed the man's identity..
It was Namgung Jincheon..
“You came?”
A woman who came out of a private house greeted him warmly..
She had a dignity that couldn't be hidden by her delicate appearance and small body..
The moment Nangong Jincheon saw her, he could barely suppress a happy smile from appearing on his lips..
Who could it be? It was Hao Wen-ju’s calligraphy..
“I caught a wild boar.”
“great job. Lay it out there.”
“i get it.”
7 years since I left the military service.
At first, I had obviously looked for her with the intention of finding out where the experts from all over Ganghu lived..
But at some point, as I continued to live like this, I ended up settling down in the mountains near Gwiju and only dealing with black people..
There were moments when I felt something was strange..
But now, it was probably a good thing for Namgung Jincheon..
“Dad!!!”
“okay.”
Because I have a child to protect..
“OMG! It's so dirty!”
“It's a wild boar.”
“Mettaejji!”
A girl with pale skin and plump cheeks. The name of this three-year-old child is Namgoongyoung..
She was the daughter of Namgung Jincheon..
“Today is a meat mug?”
“Okay, I'll cut it right away..”
“Then train meat macaw?”
“Yes, I practice..”
Namgoong Young burst out laughing with an excited face..
Although he is only three years old, he is a very talented child..
Watching Namgung Jincheon's training is considered the most fun activity of the day..
Namgung Jincheon was very proud of that..
“infant.”
In an instant, calligraphy appeared.
Namgung-young ran to Seo-ye and hugged her..
“It's mom! Dad said he was training today too.!”
“Yeah, my dad is going to a big competition soon..”
Seo Ye smiled and said to Nam Gung Young..
Namgoong Young tilted his head..
“yes?”
A smile appeared on both of their innocent faces at the same time..
In the meantime, Namgung Jincheon was caught up in the thought of wanting to show his child a cool side, so he stood up and said..
“I'm leaving to become the best.”
“dad go far?”
“You too go together. Mom too.”
“Come on, baby. Mommy wants to talk to Dad for a while so she wants to stay inside.?”
“yes!”
Namgoongyoung toddled home..
Namgung Jincheon’s expression hardened..
“Not today. it's tough.”
“What are you talking about??”
“night….”
“I have no intention of doing it.”
“….”
Namgung Jincheon became embarrassed..
Seo-ye said with a laugh, “Huh.”.
“It's about our marriage..”
“ah.”
“I have to go say hello soon..”
Namgung Jincheon’s shoulders trembled..
I realized at once what she meant..
“…know.”
Greetings from home.
It was like that..
In fact, the reason Namgung Jincheon lived in the mountains was because he secretly married without informing his family..
No, it was because they secretly married after giving birth to a child..
In the world, Namgung Jincheondo's family's backstabbing is a scary thing..
How could it not be scary to take a child back to his/her parents' home when the only one who knows about this is Namgoong Hyuk?.
But I couldn't avoid it.
“…You can't participate in the Blue Dragon Secretariat without informing your family..”
“That's right, the more uncertain your status is in this secretariat, the more disadvantageous you are. Something like that happened at the secretariat meeting 7 years ago.?”
Namgung Jincheon nodded..
It is just before the secret martial arts meeting where the demonic cult's small sect leader infiltrated and caused chaos..
Therefore, people with uncertain status cannot participate in this secretariat meeting..
Namgung Jincheon was in a situation where he had to receive support from his family..
“It will definitely come. That guy.”
“Yes, that damn dragon..”
“Because I'm not the type of person to avoid a festival like this..”
Namgung Jincheon’s eyes sank..
The gaze was directed toward Wuhan, where the Murimmaeng was located..
Clutching his fists, Namgung Jincheon muttered..
“I didn't just play around. He wouldn't have played either..”
The fighting spirit was embedded in Namgung Jincheon..
During these seven years, his fighting spirit never waned, except when he slept with Seo-ye and when he played with Namgoong-young..
“I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. infinitely.”
Sword Dragon Namgung Jincheon.
His achievement was now just one step away from transcendence..
