Enlightenment is usually not the awakening of grand truths..
A very small change in cognition, a change in all ideas and knowledge that extends from that and affects the way of thinking, is called enlightenment..
I don't know what other people would think, but it was like that to Mokriwon..
Also, the conversation with Kwak Chil influenced Mok Ri-won's way of thinking along the lines of such enlightenment..
‘Just be righteous.’
If this is a proposition you already know, why does it strike you as new?.
By thinking and pondering, you reflect on your own changes..
As much as the power I have accumulated, I relieve the arrogance that has built up, do not accept the facts I have learned as I ascend to the state of oneness of everything and everything, and strive to reflect on how to move forward into a wider world..
It was only at that moment that I found out a little bit..
‘There's still a long way to go.’
I was so arrogant.
I was still too low to reach enlightenment and the end of nothingness..
Only then did Mok Riwon finish meditation and open his eyes..
There was no particular change in prayer..
It wasn't a new horizon for swordsmanship..
It's just that my horizons have broadened..
He began to see a path from where he had started to a higher place..
I left the training ground.
It's winter when the year goes down and you fall asleep.
When the war begins, will this cold cool down the heat of blood a little?.
A chilling wind passed by my body..

The trip to Xinjiang progressed quickly..
At first glance, it could be said to be a hasty judgment, but it was decided that extending the time at a point when war had already been declared would only give the enemy an end..
The leader is the Murim League.
Gupa Ilbang and Sega spread their wings and all the major forces of the Central Plains headed to Xinjiang..
Clan factions whose origins were in Gansu and Cheonghae joined there and increased the size of the ranks..
In the end, the boundary to be crossed is Cheonghae..
7The battle that Maeng was making as if he was going to end the war a year ago was the same as that of 7 years ago, and while doing so, he made up for his mistakes by changing key strategic points..
So the border of Xinjiang.
A barracks for the Baekdo martial arts side was built..
The scouts had already moved and started reconnoitering the area around Hibmandaesan Mountain, and the main force was straightening its battle lines for a while..
It was in the middle of something like that..
“Mukryong Daehyup.”
A member of the cabinet visited Mokriwon..
What is his purpose?.
“hmm?”
“Lord Maeng is looking for you..”
Mok Ri-won visited the barracks of the leader before the full-scale war..
It was the center of the battle line..
The surrounding area was very strict..
The cabinet, the main force of the alliance, was on full alert in all directions, and the spirit of the army was felt in the headquarters barracks in the middle of it all..
As Mo Ri-won approached, a cabinet official opened the tent..
Inside, there was a palace with the elders of each clan..
“Did you come?.”
“Yes, do you have anything to say??”
While all eyes were pouring in, Mokriwon asked:.
The palace did not respond right away..
He just pointed to a place on the map..
“I'd like you to act as a scout..”
“If you are a scout….”
“Communication with the scouting party that departed first has been lost..”
“…!”
Mok Riwon’s eyes opened wide as if torn..
What he meant was pretty clear..
“…Are you saying you got hit??”
“That's what I'm assuming. I want to have hope, but… It's not a good situation to do that..”
I guess so.
It has been 7 years since we prepared for this war..
In addition, the scouts are a unit that has been training hard to shed blood and flesh since the end of the last war, before the clouds of war began in earnest..
There was a hole in their network from day one..
The most likely inference is that scouts were attacked..
Mo Liwon took a deep breath..
first victim of war.
I had to suppress the sympathy that was suddenly rising..
They didn't die for such cheap sympathy..
“what can i do.”
“Please help me understand the entrance to Hundred Thousand Mountains and its boundaries. If there are major forces or ships deployed, it would be appreciated if you assassinate them..”
As much as he didn't know how his opponent would come out, he couldn't have known that he was the most rational choice as the troop to infiltrate..
It was the moment Mokriwon was about to answer..
“Know….”
“And I have three more people to go with me..”
“…yes?”
“Come out.”
As I spoke, Nangong Jincheon and Zhuge Mountain took a step forward..
“Namgung hyung? Zhuge brother too…?”
“You are the future of Baekdo Murim. To increase our chances of survival, it would be better to move together..”
“So it happened. Please take care of me..”
“Don't grab your ankles.”
I feel reassured, yet worried..
Meanwhile, Mokriwon realized one thing..
“Wait, I didn't say three.?”
“That's three.”
Gyeonggwol stepped aside..
Only then did I see someone.
“Salseong!”
“Hehe, it's been a long time.”
The Salsaeng goat was hiding behind the royal palace..
Gyeonggwol had a disapproving face..
Perhaps the goat-ox planned this prank to surprise him..
Mokriwon felt a little nervous at the sight of him not losing his composure even in a sharp atmosphere..
“Is Salseong leading us??”
“Is there nothing that can even be said to lead? Now if you guys are no less powerful than me.”
it was true.
Now, Mo Ri-won was confident that if he were to dance with a goat and a cow, he would win seven out of ten times..
He grew up to that extent, and so did Namgung Jincheon..
“Don't grab your ankles. gaffer.”
“That guy should have his snout chopped off..”
…You seem overly confident..
The masters of the Daemun Sect also looked at Namgung Jincheon with disapproval..
Even during this time, should we praise Namgung Jincheon’s shameless face?.
“Don't act rashly..”
The only man who can suppress him, King of Swords Namgoonghyeok said..
“There are moments when telling the truth requires consideration..”
…Of course, he was speaking on the premise that Namgung Jincheon would defeat Goat Cow..
Goatso glared at Namgoonghyuk with a blank face, as if his backside was being pulled..
“That crazy old man says all kinds of nonsense..”
“If you're confident, try mixing it. with my grandson.”
“…Please write the editorial later..”
The atmosphere calmed down only after the dismissal of Gyeongwol..
He looked 10 years older at that moment..
“Stop dispersing..”
The place was so ruined.
*
The barracks housing 10,000 troops are enormous..
Naturally, the distance between affiliated barracks was beyond the normal range, and as such, the road from Mokriwon to Danghwaseo and Dangmun's barracks was quite long..
What I realized in the meantime was that even in the midst of this, there was still a sense of shame..
There are so many people who are martial arts people, that is, who know the relationship between her and Danghwaseo, and when she goes to Dangmun's barracks with her, isn't all eyes following her?.
A sense of shame filled me, so I walked straight ahead for a long time..
After enduring all these things, Mok Ri-won arrived and reviewed the Danghwa Book and the contents of the meeting..
It was mainly her advice.
“Since Salseong is here, you don't have to worry too much, but still be careful. Especially the Geomtooth guy. You have to watch out for that guy..”
It was funny and sad because it wasn't a joke, it was advice that came from the heart..
Danghwaseo was reminiscing about his days as the leader of Yongbongdan..
“That person doesn't think about things like the flow of war. If there is an enemy in front of you, you have to fight, and the idea is to hide and lure the enemy from the front..”
“…I know it well too..”
“No, I don't know about neck narrowing. Only those who have dealt with him know how difficult he can be..”
I was sick of it, but each and every piece of advice was engraved in my bones..
Danghwaseo’s advice continued..
“It's fortunate that I have Zhuge. I don't know about anything else, but I'm sure I'm doing more than my part in the operation. Make the most of it. If you have any doubts about your judgment, you must ask Zhuge. He is a very intelligent guy, so he should never be left to play. also….”
That was the end of the advice that continued for a long time..
Tang Hwa-seo finally sighed and held Mo Li-won's hand tightly..
“You must be careful. The enemy is a demonic cult. I do not doubt the power of the Mok Sohyeop, but I always know that the enemies are just as strong.….”
“soger.”
Mo Ri-won interrupted Dang Hwa-seo and held her hand..
I said with the brightest smile I could..
“Don't worry. You promised, right? After everything is over, we will go to the West Station together..”
Danghwaseo’s hands gained strength..
She sighed and hugged Mo Liwon with a face that didn't know whether she was laughing or crying..
“Have a nice trip. I will fight my own battle here.”
“So be it.”
The moment to share warmth didn't last long.
The departure is now, in the middle of the night, when the sun sets and it becomes quiet..
This was a very short break.
*
So at sunset.
“Did you come?.”
The goat-ox looked back and said.
Zhuge Mountain had already arrived, and Namgung Jincheon had not yet arrived..
The goat cow looked quite uncomfortable..
Is it natural that something like that happened at a daytime meeting?.
Mok Ri-won said in anger..
“That, Salseong. Namgoong hyung….”
“It has been done. How old am I to fall for such provocation?.”
If so, it's fortunate….
“It's late. sorry.”
Suddenly I heard Namgung Jincheon’s voice..
I turned my head and oh my god.
Mok Riwon touched his forehead..
“Namgung hyung, what does that look like??”
“What's going on?”
Namgung Jincheon tilted his head..
The clothes were pale.
The clothes of the person going undercover were very pale..
