The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 283
EP.284 Part 2 Paljang - Gansu, Haehu (2)
* * *
The departure date has arrived.
So far, what Mok Ri-won has been concerned about is Baek Gyeong-oh, who has been acting strangely ever since the mission was given..
The child, who always had a bright smile on his face, showed enthusiasm during martial arts training or sparring, and had a fairly regular life, suddenly became anxious as he spent the whole day in a daze..
‘Do you have any ties to Gansu??’
According to the documents, Baek Gyeong-oh was a child born and raised in the eastern part of the Central Plains..
The thought that there might be an error in that information was rampant..
“Danju! We are ready!”
“Oh yeah.”
Namgung Soa awakens the spirit..
Except for Baek Kyung-oh, the members also seemed excited..
This was especially true of Eonhyuk. She had a languid face as if she was annoyed, but there were rare times when the corners of her mouth rose..
Mok Riwon laughed at that..
Yeah, you'll see once you get there..
“Let's leave.”
The detention has begun.
*
You have to go northwest from Wuhan, Hubei Province and pass Shaanxi to reach Gansu..
This time, like the last trip to Sacheon, I did not bother with the schedule by continuously firing the light..
On the contrary, in the name of helping the members gain experience with Moorim, at some points they even gave them tours of the surrounding area, so it was natural that the journey took about a month..
Anyway, after all that process, I finally got off..
As previously planned, Mok Ri-won and his group stopped by Gongpa..
“This is a communal mountain.…!”
Eonhyuk spoke with emotion, then his expression changed in surprise..
It seems like it's already too late, but whatever, now there's no one here who doesn't know Eonhyuk's true appearance..
Kang Seo-hwi snorted and said.
“Isn’t that the end of the old file room?.”
Her arrogance.
But Mo Liwon firmly shook his head and denied her words..
“It is perceived as such because it is not commonly found in the mountains, but this is not true..”
“yes?”
“All of the common techniques that lead to Bokma Geombeop (伏魔劍法), Chilsangkwon (七傷拳), and Honwonjang (混元掌) are all martial arts that emphasize practicality and destructive power. There is nothing to look down on. On the contrary, in times like these, they are martial artists who are not good enough to ask for instruction..”
Of course, Mok Riwon didn’t know the truth either..
This is because all of this is based on a story that teacher Mok Seon-o told in the mountains..
But that doesn't mean it's unreliable..
Mok Seon-oh was a man of upright character who did not carelessly criticize others, but he was a man who applied strict standards when evaluating martial arts skills..
It is a martial arts skill praised by such a person..
As a member of Mokriwon, I also had a small desire to learn from the secretaries during this joint trip..
When Mok Ri-won smiled, Mo Yong-jin, who was as arrogant as Kang Seo-hwi, spoke..
“Is Chilsangkwon strong? Than the mocking law of martial arts.”
It was the moment when Mok Ri-won was about to answer..
Baek Kyung-oh spoke one step ahead..
“I'm not weak.”
Suddenly, the heads of the members and Mokriwon turned at the same time..
Baek Gyeong-oh was looking at Gongsan Mountain with his arms crossed..
“It could be strong.”
It was a somewhat dazed voice..
What is the underlying feeling?.
‘longing? no. It's too thick to say that.’
Seongryeon brightens her eyes.
Only then did I see that Tucheonseong was roughing his feet..
Baek Kyung-oh seemed to be suppressing it..
“What is it, you know Gongpa very well.?”
“well.”
“I know. You don't know.”
Namgung So-ah grumbled, but Baek Kyung-oh was instead saying that he had no will to answer by closing his eyes..
Still, Namgung Soa clung to him persistently, and the attention of other members began to focus on him, so Baek Gyeong-oh said:.
“Captain, let’s go up slowly..”
Still, Mok Ri-won narrowed his eyes at the sight of Baek Gyeong-oh climbing the mountain with familiar steps..
‘Not yet….’
I can't see everything.
Seongryun was unable to show his past..
Mokriwon felt sorry for that and walked away..
“Let's go.”
“Ah, yes!”
It didn't take that long to arrive.
The Gongpa group climbed the mountain and built a nest at a place called Chwibyeongbong (翠屛峰), a few peaks away..
Upon arriving there, Mokriwon let out a low exclamation..
“Hoo….”
As it is a sect based on Taoism, the architectural style follows the format of nine palaces, ten chambers, twelve chambers, and forty-two seats. This is the first time I have actually seen this. It was an exclamation.
‘Come to think of it, I've never visited Taoism before..’
At least I saw quite a few people from Kunlun in Qingcheng, but I didn't get the chance to go to their headquarters..
They stand shoulder to shoulder with the five major families, but their lifestyle and style are different from theirs..
In front of the gate of Kunlun, where it was fresh, Mo Liwon was able to meet the guide who had come out in advance..
“Are you guys right?.”
He was an old man wearing a white uniform..
The feeling I felt was unusual..
Minimum peak.
That was also a skill I had in middle school..
Mok-ri-won took possession of the gun..
“Yes, it is called Mokriwon of Yongbongdan. May I ask the name of the seal??”
“It's called priority.”
The old man answered, smiled empty-handedly and added another word..
“It's a long text..”
The One who was exalted from the beginning came out to meet us..
The members froze..
*
Jang Mun-in, who referred to himself as Seon-ja, was just as old as he seemed..
In other words, he was a person who was categorized as a heavenly Taoist because he had a grumpy personality and did not speak loudly..
That caused the members to be surprised..
“If there's a priority, it's him. Among the greats of the previous generation, he….”
“…Sword of Destruction).”
“I heard that Sonsok is such a merciless person..”
It was more than 25 years ago now..
Among the masters of the political faction that arose during the Hyeolsa era of Hyeolcheongyo, there were many who achieved amazing heights, even excluding the Six Kings of the Four Saints..
One of them is the sword of annihilation in front of me..
The rumors about him floating around in the rivers were as sinister as his nickname, a sword that revered destruction and an evil nickname not suitable for a Daoist..
The whispering of such a story reached the first person's ears as well..
“It's a stroke from my youth..”
As he laughed empty-handedly, the members froze again..
Baek Kyung-oh was not.
I just turn my head away from him..
“Rather than that,.”
“Ah, yes.”
Mok Ri-won, who was looking around the community, was awakened by those words..
First person asked.
“I heard that you did a great job during this invasion of the Demonic Cult. They say the defenses in Gansu were insufficient. I feel great responsibility….”
“No, you don't need to. How can you entrust the entire Gansu to just one sect? I am also responsible for.”
“Thank you for saying that..”
Mo Ri-won smiled slightly at his humility and changed the subject..
“Rather, the disciples who are training are really enthusiastic..”
There were people I saw while walking down the street..
The three generations of disciples who are still young and their instructors.
All of them had forged spirit and were outstanding talents befitting the notoriety(?) of the communal faction..
“I have heard from my teacher that among Taoism, practicality is especially important. Is it true?.”
“I don't know what to do with praise. I can’t believe the King Geol-nim evaluates us so much..”
Mok Riwon’s fingertips trembled..
Externally, it was because he was reminded that he was in the position of a teacher..
“haha….”
“But it's not enough in its prime.”
Longing passed over the face of the first person..
Mokriwon looked at him hesitantly..
“The heyday…?”
“13Years, it seems, have passed. My brother-in-law, who was our best friend, has passed away..”
Mok Riwon opened his eyes wide..
“Such high moisture….”
“The younger generation these days may not know. In fact, he is someone who does not engage in external activities very often, so he deserves it..”
First of all, he pointed beyond the mountain range..
“If you go there, you will find a small hermitage. The hermitage where Venerable Woo, who was executed, stayed.”
“ah!”
Namgoong Soah opened his eyes wide..
“absolute power!”
“Oh, did you know??”
“sure! I heard something from my grandfather once.!”
“The Sword King... That's a good thing too.”
First of all, he laughed..
At that moment, something caught Mok Riwon’s heightened senses..
My eyes roll again.
‘hmm…?’
Baek Kyung-oh was chewing his lips..
My eyes were narrowing..
“Now, would you like to unpack here first? We'll talk about the rest later..”
The leader led the members to a hermitage, bowed his head, and left..
The members finally breathed a sigh of relief..
It was clear that the prayers flowing from the supreme warrior and the rumors about him had made the children nervous..
Mok Riwon said with a small smile..
“Thank you for your hard work to get here. I'll tell the rest of the story alone, so you guys get some rest..”
“ah! Let’s have a meeting with the members of the communal faction.….”
“Let me arrange that too..”
“Wow!”
Namgung Soah shouted with enthusiasm..
Mo Yong-jin was also shaking with interest..
Mo Ri-won's eyes turned to Baek Kyung-oh again..
Baek Gyeong-oh was staring with a sunken face in the direction of the Hermitage of the Absolute Awesome Realm that the previous Jeon Seon-ja had pointed out..
‘Even when talking about sparring, he stays still.….’
Mok Riwon’s mouth was closed..
It's clear now.
There is some connection between Baek Gyeong-oh and the Gongpa faction..
‘I'll have to find out.’
And isn't there someone who might know?.
Mokriwon turned to Jang Munin..
