The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association - Episode 30

〈 30Tue 〉 Ojang Yongbong Branch (3）

* * *

The night when the moon rose brightly.

In a vacant lot in a remote alley of the city, Mo Ri-won drew his sword..

And then I raised my head..

‘The moon is bright.’

The moon sits on a cushion of pale clouds and looks down at itself..

Next to it, Mount Huangshan rose high in the sky, showing off a strong appearance like a general protecting the emperor..

Mo Liwon smiled and straightened his posture..

I was in the middle of thinking about whether it would be a sin to skip training under such a beautiful scenery..

Saaaa­.

Close your eyes and the wind blows.

The cold night air settles on my skin..

It also seeps into the lungs..

Mokriwon spread the refreshing and refreshing air throughout the body, covering the air that only knew how to be vicious today..

Then a silent sword energy bloomed, and soon the sword moved..

Since the day I first learned the sword, I haven't missed a single day..

The sword dance on a moonlit night begins..

Sigh­.

The movement of cutting through the air was really slow..

It could be said that the movement was almost at a standstill..

I could have said what kind of sword dance this was, but this was Mok Riwon’s training method..

After endlessly increasing the sword dance of Mok Seon-oh, which I once saw, I delve into Chosik's pattern by concentrating on the movements of each moment..

Assembling the disintegrated plant food back into one's body.

Thus, to fully digest the martial arts called Yuseong Chilgeom (？？七？).

After completing the process with all his might, Mo Liwon took a deep breath and thought of a man..

‘Namgoong Woon.’

Changseong Sword Namgoongun.

The transcendent master of the Namgung family whom I met during the day today..

I imagine dancing with him..

There was a middle-aged man I could clearly picture in my mind..

A man who makes you feel like your whole body is being crushed just by looking at him..

He drew his sword and raised his sword energy..

‘Namgungga's Sword.’

Now, should we put that on an imaginary man, but Mo Liwon did not know that Namgung was uneducated..

So, to replace it, Namgoongun was given the Samjaegeombeop (三？？？).

Three sword cuts that can be considered the model for all sword techniques that involve cutting and stabbing horizontally and vertically..

That was enough.

Sigh­.

Mok Ri-won draws his sword towards him in his imagination..

Namgungun performed a vertical cut called Taisan tack (？山）).

Tuuk­.

The tip of Mo Liwon's sword interlocked with his and struck the floor..

He was crushed by Namgoong Woon’s power..

One could ask how one could judge an opponent's sword that did not fight against it, but at least that did not apply to Mok Riwon..

This is because Mok Ri-won is a man who can understand the weight of this vertical cut just by recalling his exploits in person..

‘far.’

Even though it was far, it was too far..

There was a very high wall between Namgoong Woon and himself..

Even though he only did one vertical cut, he crushed himself, so if he uses Namgung's sword techniques in earnest, he won't even be able to breathe properly..

Mok Riwon opened his eyes..

It was a truly despairing gap, but even so, what appeared on his lips was a smile..

‘That's the peak.’

Mok Riwon’s eyes were colored with longing..

Now that we've acknowledged everything that needs to be acknowledged, we have to look at the path that will lead us there..

‘It's not an insurmountable wall.’

The wall of transcendence was high..

But that doesn't mean it's an insurmountable wall..

Why not?.

Mok Seon-oh and Mile Seok spent their childhood together..

When I think of the immeasurable feats they have shown on several occasions, the thought that Namgoong Un's feats, which seem so high, is also a relatively attainable level comes to mind..

‘Transcendence corresponds to the 5th star of Holy Lotus..’

Now I am at the level of a fully matured 3-star.

5Seong was a state that could be reached by mastering all the peak martial arts and realizing their true meaning..

‘Of course, you will also need internal strength.….’

There was no worry at all about that part..

So far, one of the parts that Mok Seon-oh and Mile Seok paid the most attention to during his growth process was 'suppression of his power', which is why Mok Ri-won's martial arts skills and the effectiveness of his Seongryun Shingong (？？？？) were exceptional..

‘Master, indeed, your strength is wide..’

Mo Liwon lifted up his sword again with a happy heart..

A strange sense of anticipation was building inside him as he was about to perform sword dance again..

What are the expectations?.

it was clear.

‘Moreemyeon Banquet.’

The prestigious late exponents called the Yongbong of this generation.

It was an expectation that we could use them as a stepping stone to advance to a higher level..

Kwon Ryong Il-un, whom he encountered during the day, was a warrior with the same level of power as himself..

I heard that most people with the title of Dragonfeng have that level of power..

It wasn't just that.

­Namgung Jincheon, I think the only one who can win is Namgung hyung..

These were the words that Zhuge Shan uttered as if he were confirming..

The most unique among the late exponents of this generation is Namgung Jincheon..

There is an insurmountable wall between him and other late-stage indices..

‘Brother Zhuge, I don’t know..’

Mok Ri-won denied his words with a grinning face and began his sword dance..

‘I haven't been on stage yet..’

Ho Seung-sim.

And the spirit of improvement.

Mok Ri-won, who finally got to see this strong man, continued his sword dance with the eagerness of a warrior..

*

Two days passed quickly.

Mo Liwon entered the manor where the banquet was being held with sparkling eyes..

Of course, that outfit was the gray military uniform he always wore..

“Would you be okay with that outfit??”

“of course! What outfit would be more appropriate for a warrior’s banquet than a military uniform??”

You're the only one who thinks that way.

Danghwaseo smiled awkwardly, swallowing the words that were about to come out..

Meanwhile, a thought occurred to me..

‘…If I decorate it, will it only attract more attention?.’

Mok Riwon is handsome..

Even though he is handsome, he is seriously handsome..

If he looks so radiant even while wearing such shabby military uniform, isn't it obvious that if he even decorates it, all eyes in the banquet hall will be focused on him?.

Dang Hwa-seo trembled as he remembered the black long sleeves he wore as disguise while escaping from the previous city..

‘Yeah, I have no idea what to do with those clothes..’

There will definitely be people drooling over him..

When I thought about it, my head started pounding and I felt very irritated..

In fact, he didn't have any reason to be so annoyed by the attention, but Danghwaseo didn't think much about it..

No, maybe I wasn't intentionally thinking about it that way..

She was unconsciously ignoring the pitiful true feelings she would face at the end..

“There are already people here. Mokau, do you see that person over there??”

“hmm? A person wearing a uniform??”

“Yes, that young Taoist over there. That Taoist is the face of this great shaman..”

Mo Liwon looked at the man wearing a white uniform and sipping tea..

Just as Zhuge Shan said, he could feel calm waves like a lake..

“Seonryong (?) Hyeongong. In fact, he is the second best swordsman in this generation after Namgung-hyung..”

“As long as the oho and byeolho contain the character Sinseonseon(？）)….”

“Ah, that's probably because that Taoist monk's personality is vain. They gave him that nickname because he looks like a immortal..”

“Ah, I understand..”

Indeed, like a person in another world, he did not lose his peace despite the bustle around him..

Mo Ri-won looked at him for a long time because he thought it was truly amazing, and then he raised his head and made eye contact with him..

“ah.”

Duke Hyeon looked at Mok Riwon for a moment..

Then he smiled and looked away again..

Mo Ri-won had been staring at him blankly until the day before yesterday, but came to his senses after hearing Zhuge-san's giggling words..

“Look at me. Doesn’t it seem like he’s saying, ‘I’m not interested in the secular world?’.”

“haha….”

Mok Riwon felt embarrassed..

“I don’t mind if you go and talk to me first.?”

“I don't recommend it. I tried to talk to Seonryong several times, but he never seemed to listen. I thought we were talking through the wall..”

“Umm… It's a shame. I really wanted to share a story about Muhak because the energy I felt was unique..”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to do something like that off stage? Now, rather than that, take a look over there..”

Zhuge Shan pointed in a different direction this time..

As Mokriwon's gaze was about to turn towards that direction, Danghwaseo clicked his tongue and said, 'Tsk.'.

“huh? Sojeo, why are you doing this??”

“no. Because I see a face I don’t like.”

Zhuge Shan chuckled and said to Mo Liwon:.

“Oops, I don’t think your sister will be happy. Mok-a-woo, that thin woman over there is Amipa's Baekbong (white?) Hye-un. My sister and I argue every time we meet at a party..”

“What is Aung Daung?.”

“No matter what you say, I really care about you. They happen to be in Sacheon, and they must be of similar age. Kangho's fellow believers always put these two people together to discuss superiority and inferiority.….”

“Do you have to tear your mouth open to be quiet??”

“….”

Zhuge Shan's mouth was tightly shut..

Mokriwon cringed at the cool look of Danghwaseo..

‘Well, I'd better not talk about Baekbong Sojeo..’

Mo Ri-won came to another realization and glanced at Hye-un one last time..

There.

‘hmm?’

There was Hye-un, who was looking straight at her with a blank face..

“narrow neck.”

Danghwaseo’s voice rang out in an instant..

Mo Ri-won hurriedly withdrew his gaze and looked at the Book of Danghwa..

Danghwaseo was looking at Hyeun and the group with bloodshot eyes..

“Don't roll your eyes. Strange girls will be attracted again..”

“A bit of a weird girl….”

“You may not know the Sohyeop, but the female monks of Ami are very colorful with the theme of monks. To top it all off, there are even things they do with each other. These are useless things that are not good to deal with, so don't even pay attention to them..”

gulp­.

Mokriwon swallowed dry saliva..

‘W, among women….’

While even his fair cheeks were turning red from the harsh imagination that came to mind, Dang Hwa-seo, who saw this, let out a laugh and glared at him with disdain..

“Okay, I'm dying.?”

“Ah, no! I didn't think anything of it.!”

Mok Riwon’s eyes were tightly closed..

For some reason, Danghwaseo glared at Mokriwon with a gaze full of anger, filled with frustration, but then clicked his tongue and looked away..

“Anyway, as soon as that colored stick approaches, run to me..”

“Even the color stick….”

“The color bar is correct. Every year when she comes here, she picks a man and eats her..”

“hmm… I know, I know, there are rumors like that..”

When even Zhuge Mountain said that, Mo Liwon couldn't help but sigh..

‘My, I wish Amifa wasn't like this….’

Mok Seon-oh clearly said so early..

The female priests of Amipah are true heroines with deep Buddhist intentions and pure power..

When sharing actual swords, there were times when I was amazed at their depth of martial arts skills..

‘Master lied….’

Mok Riwon’s face became glum..

…Actually, strictly speaking, Mok Seon-oh wasn't lying..

At that time, Gangho was in a sharp mood as he was fighting against Hyeolcheongyo, and the female monks who came out to fight against the truly evil enemy were beaten..

It is correct to say that the current behavior of Army's latter-day indexes is a result of the change in character of Baekbong Hye-woon, who leads the way..

Of course, Mokriwon, who did not know all that, could only tremble with a sense of betrayal..

“I'm so disappointed….”

“Don't be too disappointed. Well, there might be an outstanding heroine other than that color stick..”

Danghwaseo looked at Mokriwon, who was pouting, with a satisfied face..

As the chat continued, Mokriwon suddenly realized something strange..

“…Ah, now that I think about it. There were quite a few people gathered, but no one came our way..”

Quite a few people gathered too.

And various noble warriors began to chat among themselves..

But no one came here..

That was so strange that the two men and women were silent when Mo Riwon said those words..

“….”

“….”

“Sozer? Zhuge brother?”

Mo Liwon asked again with a pure face, but the two were unable to answer..

It was obvious.

Previously, Danghwaseo always had an edge..

Therefore, there was no such thing as a relationship between them..

Zhuge Mountain's frivolity spread throughout the rivers..

That's why no one tried to talk to him first..

To put it bluntly, it was like that..

They are a bunch of loners at this banquet..

Pure questions sometimes strike deep in your heart..

Tang Hwa-seo and Zhuge-san continued to be embarrassed by their situation for a long time, not knowing what to say, and the uncomfortable silence seemed to last forever..

Fortunately, as if heaven had helped, something that could be called a rope was draped in front of them..

“Ah, Monk Ilwoon!”

Mok Ri-won called Kwon Ryong Il-un as he entered the banquet..

Il-un heard that voice and spotted Mok-ri-won and the two men and women, and put his hands together with a bright face..

And he approached them at a quick pace..

Tang Hwa-seo and Zhuge-san even felt touched by his approach, but those feelings would fade away once they knew Il-un's true intentions..

‘Zhuge Confucius must keep his mouth shut..’

From the moment he entered the banquet, Ilwoon had one purpose..

To prevent that Zhuge Mountain from revealing what happened two days ago..

“Lords! See you in two days.”

Ilwoon smiled softly..
