The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association - Episode 3
〈 3Tue 〉 Sunrise Childhood (2）
* * *
The next morning was busy..
This is because Mokriwon, who could not sleep due to excitement, woke up before the sun rose and made a fuss..
“Inseok, even if you don’t fuss so much, I’m not going anywhere..”
“lol… That's right.”
“Eating quickly is not a good habit for learning martial arts, so get into the habit of eating leisurely..”
“yes!”
You are very good at answering.
Mok Seon-oh smiled as he thought of such thoughts..
Then, after finishing an early breakfast, I led Mok Riwon into the yard..
“Now, starting today, we will begin full-scale training. Are you ready??”
“yes!”
“really?”
Mok Seon-oh narrowed his eyes and asked.
Mok Riwon trembled at the look in his eyes and thought about it again..
He thought for a moment that he didn't need any more preparation and answered..
“yes Really!”
Mok Riwon’s eyes were sparkling..
As today is the day to learn how to pour out stars in the middle of the day, I am filled with anticipation about what mysterious teachings the old man will give me..
Kongdakkongdak.
While Mokriwon's young heart continued to beat busily, Mok Seon-oh spoke..
“Well then, let’s learn Mabo first..”
Mo Riwon’s expression became blank..
*
Mabo (horse)？）.
A posture made by bending your knees so that they are at a right angle with your legs shoulder-width apart..
This is one of the practices that every martial artist goes through and continues throughout his life, but Mok Riwon had no way of knowing about it..
Mok Ri-won, who lacked common sense, was just puzzled..
First of all, I did it because I was asked to do Mabo, but I couldn't figure out what this difficult posture had to do with pouring out stars..
Mok Seon-oh noticed Mok Ri-won’s expression..
So I added an explanation.
“Won, what supports the tree?.”
“Sprinkle, sprinkle.…!”
“Yes, where did the deep-rooted tree shake in the gentle wind??”
“ah… Niyo!”
“Martial arts is also like this. Martial arts is all about containing the providence of nature in the human body and expressing it, so before you begin full-scale training, you need to strengthen your lower body, which serves as the root of the body..”
Mok Seon-o’s tone was stern..
As if he would never give up on this point, Mokriwon did not even leave room for a rebuttal..
“When classifying an unmanned person, it is said that the level is determined by the level of internal strength it possesses. However, it is only a universal standard. In the end, it is the body that performs martial arts. No matter how strong your inner strength is, if you don't have a body to use it on, wouldn't it be right that even a tenth of the power of your martial arts skills isn't displayed?.”
a long speech.
However, Mokriwon could not concentrate..
It was obvious.
He is still a young boy of 7 years old..
No matter how talented I am, my muscles right now are soft and my stamina doesn't support it either..
I tried my best to concentrate, but even that wasn't easy..
Mokriwon just grunted and continued Mabo..
“If you truly want to become a master, you should pay more attention to establishing a solid foundation than to rising to the level through internal skills..”
‘root… ! base…!’
The weather was ridiculously sunny..
Mok Ri-won was sweating profusely under the rays of sunlight and could only recall a few words from what he had heard..
strong lower body.
Mokriwon's training, which will continue for a long time, began with making it like everyone else..
*
Three months have passed.
The progress of Mokriwon’s training so far was at a level that can be summarized in one word..
It was slow.
To what extent, the pace was so slow that one doubted whether it was appropriate to teach someone born with a natural ability to kill..
However, this was not a question of Mok Riwon’s talent..
It was correct to see it as a matter of Mok Seon-oh’s policy..
‘Feeling energy will only last for a moment..’
Mok Seon-oh dared to predict.
It is said that the moment this child flows energy into his body, he will complete Soju Heaven, which is equivalent to a second-class state..
That child's overflowing talent will allow him to do such unbelievable things in one fell swoop..
That is why Mok Seon-oh did not hastily teach how to use energy..
‘Internal energy that the body cannot handle will hurt Won-i..’
Proper martial arts means that the three elements of mind, energy, and body grow in harmony..
But what if I ignore that and just point out the message?.
The body, which corresponds to the body (?), cannot handle the overflowing energy (?) in the body, and the blood vessels become damaged..
‘It is better to chop slowly and start with the bowl..’
So that the moment you feel energy, you can rise to the perfect level, so that your body can handle the energy flowing in at that moment..
It would be fair to say that the past three months have all been for his benefit..
I told Mabo to Mok Riwon..
In addition, he taught about running up a mountain, and also taught basic running and front kicking..
Today, the body was put into orbit like that..
“stop.”
At Mok Seon-oh's words, Mok Ri-won, who had been playing Mabo until the day before yesterday, fell to the floor..
His whole body was drenched in sweat, and his breath was in the form of panting..
Mok Seon-oh looked at that with a happy face and then said:.
“It's time now.”
flash!
Mokriwon’s eyes were opened..
The gaze turned towards Mok Seon-oh with an expression of surprise..
“strength?!”
The excited shouts could be said to be natural..
Why not?.
Isn’t this the reason Mokriwon has endured all the hardships until now?.
Mokseono chuckled and nodded..
“Yes, it's time for Won to learn how to feel your energy..”
Mok Ri-won woke up and whined..
After that, I sat up straight and looked up at Mok Seon-oh..
“I'm ready!”
“It's hard to believe that you can even concentrate when you're so drenched in sweat. Go to the stream, wash yourself first, and then come back..”
Mokriwon ran to the stream in a huff..
Was he that anxious to learn?.
Mok Seon-oh could only burst into laughter at the sight of Mok Ri-won running away with his whole body shaking..
*
The front yard was quiet..
The child's excited tension was what created such calmness..
“Won, try sitting cross-legged. You probably remember what I taught you?”
“yes!”
Mok Ri-won was seated..
When Mok Ri-won first learned this posture, he whined because of the pain in his crotch, but now he was accustomed to the lotus position without blinking an eye..
“Now, what did you say is the mental method you will learn today??”
“It's Seongryeon Shingong (??!”
“What kind of martial arts did Seongnyeon Shingong say??”
“I am a martial arts person who engraves constellations in my heart.!”
“You memorized it well. very impaired.”
Mo Liwon grinned..
Mok Seon-oh placed his hand on Mok Ri-won's back and continued speaking..
“Our founder, who created Seongryeon Shin Gong, said: We have left behind a star that will shine even on the darkest night, and with this we must dispel the dark clouds that hang over the river..”
“yes!”
“Therefore, Seongryun Shinkong is the martial arts of a charlatan. It is also human ignorance. You must never forget this as you continue your training..”
“yes!”
Mok Ri-won answered vigorously and reflected on what he had learned in theory so far..
‘10 goals.’
There were 10 levels of achievement in Seongryeon Shingong, from 1 star to 10 star..
For each achievement, one star is engraved in your mind, and if you succeed in engraving all 10 stars, you can aim for the top rank..
‘Now I'm second class.’
I will engrave a star today.
As a result, we will finally reach a second-class level where we can say that we are martial arts..
Mokriwon's smile never stopped as the thought came to mind..
Mok Seon-oh looked at Mok Ri-won with a smile as if there was nothing he could do, and then started working..
“Then let's begin. Remembering what to do?”
“yes While reciting the nine precepts, we will lead the energy as instructed by the teacher and achieve Sojucheon.!”
“Yeah, I'm glad I remember it well..”
Without adding another word, Mok Seon-oh began to unravel the inner energy in the danjeon..
Saaaa.
Cold starlight emanated from Mok Seon-oh’s body..
It wrapped around Mok Riwon’s body..
Mo Riwon felt a strange sensation..
The feeling of a new world overlapping the world I knew so far..
Also, the feeling of an intangible substance touching your skin feels so natural that you wonder why you didn't know about this until now..
Mokriwon has finally come to feel the source of all things, which is called Qi..
‘Interesting….’
How can it be so warm?.
Also, how can it be so cozy?.
Even though it was the first time in his life that he had encountered it, Mokriwon's thoughts began to subside as he felt more familiar than anything else in the world..
The energy touches your skin..
It seeps in and flows through the body..
The boundaries between the world and the country become blurred, and a huge flow begins to engrave even within the young body..
Ecstatic (無？之)？）.
The realization of forgetting one's own existence is something that an ordinary warrior cannot experience even once in his or her life..
Mok Ri-won's fate as a living ghost was giving him that realization from the moment he first felt energy..
A star appears in my mind.
It is a star of possibility whose colors cannot yet be fully defined..
That star is slowly starting to settle down..
Creating a star on the day he felt the energy was an amazing level of achievement, but Mok Ri-won was not satisfied with it..
To a higher level than just one star.
To the spot where the second star is only vaguely visible.
The moment Mokriwon fell into a moment of enlightenment and tried to grasp it..
“stop!”
Mok Seon Oh shouted..
surprise.
Mok Ri-won, shaking his body, opened his eyes..
Mok Ri-won turned his head and what he saw in his eyes was none other than Mok Seon-oh, who was looking at him in cold sweat..
“Master…?”
Mok Riwon tilted his head..
However, Mok Seon-oh could not answer..
Even that was due to some unexpected characteristics of Mokriwon..
It wasn't a problem with the depth of the hole..
Mok Seon-oh had this situation in mind from the moment he first decided to teach him..
It wasn't a matter of realizing too early..
It was natural for any outstanding martial artist to struggle under the waves of unprecedented enlightenment, and he himself went through the same process..
There is only one reason why such embarrassment appeared on Mok Seon-oh’s face..
‘blood pressure….’
This is because Mokriwon’s blood path was very different from that of an ordinary human being..
No, there was a more appropriate word than different..
‘…It's flowing in the opposite direction.’
Blood flow is reversed.
The path through which blood, energy, and life flowed stretched in reverse to the path taken by the criminals..
Mok Seon Oh knew..
What does this body mean?.
The human body is modeled after nature..
Among them, Hyeoldo means the natural law that should be followed..
The fact that it extends backwards means that the blood path of Mokriwon exists in a form that goes against natural law..
…In other words, it means that his body was made for magic (？？).
*
Internal training has been canceled.
Mo Ri-won pouted his lips and kicked a stone in the yard..
Already a week.
He did this out of frustration because Mok Seon-oh, who had said that it was too early to practice internal skills, was not providing any training..
‘Am I doing something wrong??’
Did I do something I shouldn't have done in the process of feeling my strength?.
Or is it that the body that has been trained so far has not yet grown to Mok Seon-oh's standard?.
Mok Riwon’s expression became sullen..
While thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that he had disappointed his teacher..
Tuk.
Tuk.
The sound of toes tapping against stones echoes in the yard..
Meanwhile, Mok Ri-won's eyes became increasingly bright..
The moment when tears are about to come out due to the sadness that has built up.
Jeopuk.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the space..
Mok Riwon raised his head..
The teacher must be inside the thatched hut right now, but the sound of footsteps was coming from the direction opposite to the thatched hut..
‘stranger…?’
The only person I have ever seen in my lifetime is Mokriwon, where Mokseon-o ends..
So, the moment Mok Ri-won thought of a stranger, the first thing that came to mind was tension..
Jeopuk.
Jeopuk.
The footsteps got louder and closer..
At that, Mo Ri-won looked at the source of the sound, wiping away the dried needles..
Rustle.
A scruffy-looking middle-aged man appeared through the bushes..
Looks like it clearly hasn't been washed.
And worn-out clothes that could be called rags..
Mok Ri-won, who knows the word 'beggar' as a way to express this, said.
“Beggar, beggar?”
The beggar blinked..
Then he approached Mokriwon with long strides..
Immediately after.
Wow!
“It's Geolwang (？王）. You bastard.!”
Beggar, King Mile Seok fed Mok Riwon with chestnuts..
