The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 29
〈 29Tue 〉 Ojang Yongbong Branch (2）
* * *
Ilun, the 21st great disciple of Shaolin Temple.
He was in a very good mood now..
It was obvious.
I've always been stuck in Shaolin, continuing my training, but I can't help but feel bad because I go out for the few times a year..
Meeting new people and meeting new people.
And even spicy food that can only be eaten outside of Shaolin..
These were things that Buddhists, who should always value freedom from greed, should not welcome, but it could not be helped..
Why not?.
20Isn’t the secular world a very eye-opening place for a man of his age?.
‘I think the room manager will understand this level of deviation..’
For that reason, the guesthouse I entered as soon as I arrived at Hwangsan Mountain..
Ilwoon was sitting down with the priests and was about to enjoy his first break in a long time..
“Look. Jeomsoy. Could you please give me a plate of Dongpo Pork??”
Of course, taking care of your own conscience.
“…Oh, except the meat..”
“Ughhhhh!!! Dongpayuhhhhhh!!! Leave out the meat.!!!”
The sound of frivolous laughter echoes throughout the guesthouse..
Ilwoon was startled by that and turned his head..
And my pupils trembled as if there was an earthquake..
“…Je, Zhuge Confucius?”
“Hehehehehehehe!!!”
bang. bang. The person who was banging on the table and bursting into laughter was clearly the Zhuge family's legitimate son, Zhuge Shan, whom they had met several times..
Additionally, the woman next to him was the successor of Sacheondangmun, who last disappeared from the Yongbong branch six years ago..
Of course, there was a man among them who caught their eye, but Ilwoon didn't have time to pay attention to that..
‘Well, I got caught…!’
I went into a remote alley to avoid people I knew, but I ended up meeting someone I knew..
And of course, Jegal Mountain.
A frivolous great man who spreads rumors of today's events throughout the world..
“oh my! Monk Iun! Long time no see!!!”
Zhuge Mountain greeted me with a gasp, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes..
Ilwoon closed his eyes and drew an empty smile on his lips..
‘Amitabha Buddha….’
Why am I that human?.
Did the Buddha punish excessive greed?.
“death, death penalty…!”
“This seems like a big deal….”
“…Calm down.”
I felt like my insides were burning, but Ilwoon gathered his composure..
The unwavering spirit I had built up while memorizing the Buddhist prayers was of great help at this moment..
‘Let's make things right, let's make things right.’
Ilwoon got up from his seat and headed towards the place where Jegalsan, Danghwaseo, and the unknown man were..
And then I put my hands together and bowed down..
“Amitabha Buddha. long time no see. Sir. Have you been at peace so far??”
“oh….”
“‘What about ‘Oh’, didn’t Mokau just hear it? Dongpayuhuhuh… Take out the meat hehehe….”
“…Smile moderately. Aren’t you in trouble?.”
“It's been a while since I saw the Lord at the time. It's been almost 6 years?”
“Yeah, whatever..”
Ilwoon greeted each other one by one, feeling as if sweat was pouring out from the top of his head..
Then he sat down on an empty chair and said,.
“Samjeongyuk (三)？？）.”
He was filled with thoughts about how to keep Zhuge Shan's mouth shut..
No, rather, he wanted to make excuses for his actions..
“Do you know about Samjeongyuk? These refer to the three most fundamental elements of the conditions for allowing meat-eating in Buddhism. When I eat meat, the meat shouldn't be for me. I shouldn't be told that it's for me. Also, there should not even be any context that it is for me. The meat that meets the above conditions is left behind by nature, so we take it..”
“….”
“Isn't that right? What is Dongpoyuk? Isn’t it a strictly meat dish made by boiling meat in sauce? But if there is no meat in that meat dish, if we make the meat dish and eat the leftover vegetables and seasonings, the meat will be for others. In other words, since they did not eat meat for us, it complies with the precepts of ‘Three Pure Meats’ above..”
It was a smiling face, but what it said was clear..
If you tell me somewhere, I will open the world of death (??).
Of course, Zhuge Shan was not a man of small courage to the extent of being frightened by those words..
“Yes, that's right. Samjeong oil… Phew… yes! cancer! Of course! How can people live without eating meat? I understand everything!”
A tendon appeared on Ilwoon's forehead at the gesture of hitting his shoulder..
“So today's thing is….”
“Hey, do I seem like a very soft-spoken person? Hold on to your worries!”
It was truly unbelievable..
Ilwoon felt as if his immobility was about to break..
“please again….”
“Don't worry. I will take care of that guy even if it means cutting off his head..”
Danghwaseo said.
Then Zhuge Shan pursed his lips and shrank back..
Ilwoon expressed his gratitude with a bright smile on his face for the unexpected help..
“Ah, Lord of that time! Thanks for your help.”
“you're welcome.”
It's not like I'm helping out with good intentions..
Danghwaseo swallowed those words and looked at Ilwoon..
‘Should I say I'm lucky??’
I was able to meet him even before the meeting started, so this was a clear advantage..
I can't tell him about my business right now, but it's important to make a good impression for the future..
While thinking about what Danghwaseo would say, Mokriwon spoke first..
“Hello, nice to meet you! You are indeed the ‘Gwonryong’.?”
“hmm? Oh, excuse me. Yes, I am correct. What is the name of the donor??”
“It's called Mokriwon! I don’t know if you’ve heard of it! Gangho’s fellow comrades call me Mukgeom(？？)!”
Mok Ri-won took possession of the gun..
Ilwoon opened his eyes wide as if surprised, but then smiled brightly..
“ah! I've heard it. I heard you made a name for yourself in Gangseo Province..”
“Huh! It wasn't a big deal..”
Mok Riwon’s shoulders shrugged..
Even his face was dyed red, so you could see at a glance that he was overjoyed at the compliment..
Ilwoon smiled brightly at that sight..
‘I heard he was definitely a top expert.….’
Indeed, that prayer was extremely sharp..
At least the climax is certain….
‘maybe the same as me.’
Ilwoon was able to understand it just by feeling the prayer..
‘As expected, Gangho is wide..’
At a glance, he looks like a man of the same age..
To reach the peak at that age, you would definitely need martial arts skills and rare elixirs, so I was even curious as to what kind of person had put in all that effort..
Of course, all of this was a question that Mok Ri-won could only think of because he did not know that the only elixir he had ever taken in his lifetime was the endowment of the personal fortune he acquired after Kang Ho's appearance..
“Excuse me, but what about the recluse??”
“Oh, that's….”
Mo Ri-won looked at the danghwaseo in confusion..
It seemed like he wanted help..
Ilwoon noticed that and shook his head..
“Oh, you don't have to tell me if it's difficult. It was just curiosity.”
“Thank you for your understanding..”
There is no need to find out what the other person is saying by probing..
This was a judgment made out of courtesy towards the other person whom Ilwoon knew, and also a judgment made by his pride as a warrior..
‘If you are that kind of expert, we will definitely meet you in the finals..’
At that time, you will naturally learn about martial arts..
And, I will defeat that martial artist myself..
Taesan Bukdu Shaolin of Baekdo Martial Arts.
That pride was giving Ilwoon such confidence..
“However, the monk came after completing the formalities to participate in the meeting.?”
“Yes, I already finished it before stopping by here..”
“ah….”
“why are you like that?”
“We have to go to formalities soon. I wanted to accompany you and listen to Shaolin’s story..”
A sullen expression appeared on Mok Riwon’s face..
The answer was Danghwaseo..
“You don't have to feel sorry. There will be time to talk again the day after tomorrow..”
“hmm?”
“There will be a banquet on the evening of the day the conference registration closes. It is a place where the late exponents of the old school and Sega gather. If you are qualified to accompany me, you will be able to attend the Mok Sohyeop..”
“What the state said at the time was correct. We'll continue the story later..”
As the words continued in a soft atmosphere, Mok Ri-won made a bright face..
As always, when he smiled, a happy exclamation rang out from somewhere..
“Good! Then I'll see you again the day after tomorrow.!”
“Monk, that’s enough..”
“Yes, Zhuge Confucius….”
Ilun and Zhugeshan's gaze collided..
Zhuge Shan raised his thumb with a grinning face..
“Don't worry.”
I will definitely spread the word.
…It was something else to see tendons sprouting from Il-woon's head in response to his answer..
*
Xixian, Anhui Province, a city just below Huangshan Mountain.
The three people who left the guesthouse finally arrived at the manor where the Yongbong branch meeting was held..
“There are so many unmanned people.…!”
Mo Liwon turned his head and looked around as if he was excited..
In front of the wall of the manor, warriors with sharp prayers were standing guard, and in front of the gate, there was a group of warriors waiting to go through the formalities to participate in the Yongbong branch..
“Mokau, do you see that guy over there??”
“hmm? Where??”
“It's the unmanned horse that guards the front gate. A person with a blue hero gun on his head.”
Mo Liwon followed Zhuge Shan's fingertips and looked at the gate..
Just as he said, there was a middle-aged man with a blue hero's gun on his head..
“Who is that person??”
“Changseonggeom (？成？） Namgoong Un, is the nephew of King Geom (？王).”
Mok Riwon’s eyes got bigger..
The mouth was also slowly opening..
“Sword King's….”
The nephew of the King of Swords, one of the top ten martial arts sect masters..
The moment Mok Ri-won heard those words, he could feel the excitement..
Exciting.
“…indeed.”
That entire space was under his control..
Sharply refined energy waves are pressing down on that place..
Mokriwon’s instinct was speaking..
If you fight against that man, you won't even be able to point out the third second..
‘…No, what if I don’t control my energy? What if you adapt to the sword while being as defensive as possible? It is possible because you can feel alive. If you are careful about the pores there,.’
Maybe I wouldn't have suffered so miserably..
However, defeat was certain nonetheless..
“He is one of the transcendental warriors that the Namgung family is proud of..”
“Transcendence….”
There was such a big wall between the climax and the super climax..
Wow.
Mo Liwon clenched his fists..
For him, this is the first time he has encountered a warrior stronger than himself since appearing in Kangho..
The spirit of victory rose within Mok Riwon..
‘I want to compete.’
I want to share swordfish with him..
I want to steal the essence of that warrior in it..
With that nourishing essence, I want to move towards a higher place..
Mokriwon’s heart was beating faster and faster..
The energy wave also began to bounce in response to those feelings..
Moment.
‘ah…!’
Namgoongun looked at Mokriwon..
Due to the enormous power contained in that gaze, Mo Liwon felt a weight growing on his shoulders..
Talk.
“I'm sorry, let's stop and go. We are in a different line..”
When Dang Hwa-seo tapped my shoulder and spoke the words, the pressure from just before disappeared..
Namgoongun had already turned his gaze elsewhere..
“…I understand. let's go.”
Mok Ri-won looked at Nam Gung-un for a moment longer, then withdrew his gaze and walked along Danghwa-seo..
*
Namgoongun slowly turned his head and looked at the back of the man leaving..
Then I asked the adjutant next to me..
“Hey, do you know who that guy over there is??”
“Oh, you mean the guy over there between Zhuge and Tangmun??”
“That's right. I remember memorizing the names of all the late Jisoos who would stop by here, but I don't think that guy was on the list..”
The adjutant smiled slightly and shook his head..
“no. It's on the list, but since this was my first time appearing as a powerhouse, the leader didn't recognize me..”
“hmm?”
“Mukgeom(？？？) Mokriwon. He's a rising star these days. I heard he goes around with Dangga's Dokbong, and it looks like he's already become friends with the monster dragon..”
“It's an ink sword….”
Namgoongun repeated this and remembered the previous energy wave..
“…well.”
“yes.”
“Nope.”
Namgoongun shook his head in response to his adjutant’s question and thought..
‘I think a beaten sword (??) would be better suited than an ink sword (??).’
The energy wave emanating from the unknown young warrior was said to be more suited to a paddle than a calm ink..
‘A funny guy has arrived.’
Namgoongun smiled slightly and felt the anticipation inside him..
I didn't have any expectations for Mokriwon itself..
‘I think he will be a good match for Jincheon..’
Sogaju of the Namgung family, Geomryong Namgung Jincheon.
It was because he thought that his obnoxiously arrogant nephew might have found a good rival..
