The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 61
〈 61Tue 〉 Chiljang Murim Alliance, founded (4）
* * *
The members of Yongbongdan woke up early in the morning and began training, bringing life to the temple. Their faces were indescribably bright..
Except for one person, Dang Hwa-seo..
“It's a couplet. Come out, Mukryong.”
“No! When you open your eyes, you have to eat breakfast! Please do not use me in your sword dragon training! If you want to decide, in the afternoon….”
“Then I have to meditate..”
“Okay! Then what should I do??”
“Uh huh, just practice on your own. Neither Namgung nor Mok-ah are in a hurry to spar.?”
“Zhuge hyung doesn't practice.?”
“I already did it before Mokau woke up..”
“As expected, Zhuge type!”
“Tsk….”
Danghwaseo made a blank face at the mess unfolding before his eyes..
She couldn't understand. Mokriwon and Namgung Jincheon, who didn't bother to leave the three training halls and gathered here to argue from the morning, Jegalsando, who lay down next to the practitioners and giggled, and Hyeun, who went out in the morning, and Ilwoon, who didn't stop this..
Danghwaseo’s gaze turned to Ilwoon. He just smiled awkwardly, as if he had no choice..
‘…Yes, it was something I was prepared to do..’
Danghwaseo closed his eyes and composed himself. Immediately after that she opened her eyes and cried out.
“Just share the training ground.!”
Since Zhuge Mountain doesn't practice, it's just a matter of one person entering each training hall..
When Tang Hwa-seo spoke in a stern voice, the commotion from the day before disappeared in an instant..
“…You don’t have to use a saucer.?”
In the meantime, Mok Ri-won said he was worried about Dang Hwa-seo's training. Danghwaseo smiled empty-handedly and said,.
“Baekbong, let me catch that damn bitch..”
Danghwaseo was more urgent about catching Hyeun, who ran away while she was sleeping, than about training..
This is why you need to strengthen your discipline for your future life..
So exactly 2 o'clock. Danghwaseo found Hyeun walking with her arms crossed with a warrior in front of an inn near Murimmaeng. She returned to Yongbongdan's pavilion, pulling her ear..
That morning, none of the members could open their mouths due to Danghwaseo's sad look..

“Maintain your dignity.”
In the Danju room of Yongbongdan, Danghwaseo, sitting at the head of the table, spoke with bloodshot eyes..
“Always be mindful of your dignity. Don't forget that we are always in the spotlight. Do you understand??”
Today's sinner, Baekbong, had his head down and was fiddling with his red earlobe..
It didn't make any difference to other people..
Regardless of his military power, Danghwaseo had the spirit to control people. When she loses her temper, even Namgung Jincheon, the maverick general, feels pressured without knowing why..
Danghwaseo sighed deeply..
The admonition that followed was something she could not help..
“The same goes for other people. I will turn a blind eye to it as long as you keep to the level of chaos inside the palace. But you can't do that even outside the palace. Please do not forget that Yongbongdan's funding source is limited to external support..”
Except for Danghwaseo, the military members belonging to the Yongbongdan received little support from the men themselves as they were the ones who would one day return to their hometowns..
All of the extravagant palace buildings and the luxurious people they enjoy all the time are donations sent from outside to build relationships with them, so they have to live up to their expectations..
Among them, only Danghwaseo, who had run his own business, knew its importance..
“As this is our first day living together, I will not continue nagging you for long. Let’s just go and eat now..”
As Tang Hwa-seo calmed down, Mo Ri-won and Zhuge-san made particularly excited faces. The reason her nagging didn't even last half an hour is because she is a record that should be said to be at an all-time level..
“okay! Let's go!”
“Mokau, do you know that? I heard that a dedicated servant is assigned to Yongbongdan’s palace.!”
“Oh oh… ! Well, here too, somen and bamboo leaf syrup are added.!”
“What can I say?!”
Mo Ri-won and Zhuge-san ran out. After that, Namgung Jincheon walked leisurely, followed by Ilwoon..
“Can I go eat too??”
Those were Hyewoon’s words. Danghwaseo made an expression that didn't know how to express it, but then nodded..
“…Yes, it's all about making a living..”
I had to endure it.

Ilwoon was in the midst of a crisis of his life..
‘…There's a lot of meat.’
The restaurant we entered. What made Ilwoon's eyes blurry was meat. The sergeant specially assigned to Yongbongdan is famous for his meat dishes. Il-woon, who already knew the story, was drooling in agony..
‘…You should abstain from eating meat.’
All Buddhist prayers were to purify the body through raw food and to offer it with an empty heart. That's why, as a monk, I shouldn't turn a blind eye to this type of meat..
But is it as easy as it sounds?.
‘it smells….’
The smell was so fragrant. Yukhyang bursting out like this was like a kind of torture to Ilwoon. I just wanted to grab one and eat it. I just wanted to taste it.
Those feelings and the guilt toward the room manager Won-myeong, who believed in him and sent him here, were tangled in his anger..
Meanwhile.
“Monk Ilun, don’t eat it.?”
Hyewoon asked while chewing her food..
Ilwoon’s eyes widened at that..
“Hye, Monk Hyeun! that…!”
Hyewoon’s plate was full of meat. It wasn't just a taste, it was so full that it made my stomach explode..
Ilwoon was astonished.
“How much…!”
Is this an enviable act? No, is it an immoral act?!
It is clear that Hye-un is also a disciple of Buddhism, so how can he eat fire, or even meat?!
Even as Ilwoon's body was shaking, Hyeun just tilted her head..
“what?”
She didn't even know what she was doing wrong. No, in fact, if she had been a woman to feel guilty about such things in the first place, she would not have revealed her colors so much..
I was envious of Ilwoon. her shamelessness.
‘me too…!’
The moment those thoughts came to mind, Ilwoon felt gazes on him..
I was startled and turned my head to see Jegal Mountain. he was grinning.
Ilwoon’s heart grew cold..
He looked away from the meat, feeling like he was vomiting bloody tears..
‘…I am a disciple of Buddhism.’
I consoled myself and thought on the other hand,.
‘If it weren't for Zhuge Mountain... .'.

Danghwaseo was busy..
The level was in stark contrast to the other members who were having a leisurely time combining personal work and rest..
Anyway, since I was in charge of Danju, there was a lot to do..
From the most basic tasks such as managing members to writing letters to send to sponsors..
Getting to know other owners and lenders of the group and training them on how to fill out reporting forms for administrative procedures..
In addition to that, there is also discussion about future schedules..
To do all that within the given time, even ten bodies are not enough..
Nevertheless, Danghwaseo was accomplishing all these tasks step by step. This was because I wanted to prove myself as I was in a situation where I could no longer hide or run away..
like that for a week.
Danghwaseo quickly turned off the light and sat down in his office to take a short rest..
‘The founding ceremony will be held in a week.’
It will be a fairly large event. This event is not simply an announcement of the founding of Yongbongdan, but is also a declaration of war against the Heavenly Demon Church that has invaded the central plains..
The full-fledged mission would be handed down later, and the Party Flower Book had to be prepared under that..
‘Probably a lot of traveling to other castles..’
Why not? Isn't the Yongbongdan a group that is certain in terms of military power, let alone the personalities of its members? All six members are at their peak, and since two of them are a small elite group that stands on a different path from other warriors, it is most likely that they will be assigned a mission such as intelligence..
‘What you need to hide your identity….’
Human skin masks, counterfeit identity cards, and even training for members..
Danghwaseo sighed while continuing his thoughts..
‘…How should we educate those people?.’
People who get into trouble at least once a day seem to get sick if they don't have an accident even for a day. Today, even the quiet days have become chaotic..
Oh my god, didn't he stick his fist in Jegal San's solar plexus while he was dancing and cause him to be carried away?.
Danghwaseo’s sense of betrayal was even greater as it was a betrayal by someone he trusted..
‘…There's nothing to say that it was a mistake.’
In fact, the injury was not deep because it was a blow made using only an external attack. There is no problem with the founding ceremony..
Danghwaseo grabbed his throbbing head..
It was at such a moment that Maeng's military officer came to her office..
“Danju.”
“…Oh, you came..”
The name of this military man, who has become acquainted with me frequently in recent years, was Gojeol, the adjutant of the military commander Zhuge Wuyan..
Danghwaseo guided him to his seat with a bright smile on his face..
“You have a hard time going back and forth..”
“It's okay because it's work.”
Gojeol also smiled brightly. He took out some papers from his pocket and held them out to Dang Hwa-seo and said:.
“These are the things handed down from each stage. I asked you for it directly.?”
“ah! That sucks.”
Danghwaseo’s expression brightened. That is why the document that conveys her fate is one of the things she has been waiting for..
It wasn't anything great. It's just a table of each team's sparring schedule and joint training schedule. This is what Danghwaseo obtained for its members..
Gojeol said with a small smile on Danghwaseo's bright face..
“It's nice to see the attention to detail, even the training schedule of the members..”
“They are not people who lack social skills. Since they are all people who just want to be looked up to, I just wanted to take care of my country and make friends with the members of the group..”
“I think it's a great trait for a sober drinker. Aren’t you using your personal time for public service?.”
Danghwaseo felt embarrassed by those words. Because this work is not necessarily for the sake of the ball..
Why not? Dang Hwa-seo started this work because Mok Ri-won had always said, ‘I want to compete with the masters of the Murim Alliance!’ even before he came to the Murim Alliance..
In other words, the desire to impress him played a large part in this matter..
“…I am very grateful to my late Grandmother. Would you like to have a cup of tea??”
“it's okay. The soldier is the kind of person who makes a fuss even if I leave the room even for a little while..”
Gojeol got up from his seat, joking..
“Well then, good luck.”
“Take a look.”
Gojeol left the room. Only then did Danghwaseo, who was left alone, start checking the documents and trying to figure out the training schedule..
‘I guess I can schedule a sparring match with Baekgeomdae in about two weeks..’
Danghwaseo recalled a happy heart..
Although the process was arduous, I had high expectations for the look on Mokriwon's face when I told him this news, and my fatigue was completely gone..
Without further delay, Danghwaseo got up from his seat and headed toward the training hall..
At this time, Mok Ri-won was obsessed with sword training..
That's how we arrived at the training ground.
“Zhuge hyung! I just saw a man wearing a golden sword in Meng! It was amazing.!”
“Oh oh… You must have met the golden sword (？） Daehyeop. It is not that the sword is gold, but the scabbard is gold. He is the great lord of the Baekgeomdae..”
“Ugh... ! If only I had a cool sword!”
Mokriwon was making a fuss..
Zhugeshan was dealing with Mo Liwon while using crutches like a boner..
Danghwaseo blinked at the sight, then burst into laughter..
‘really….’
People who have no time to be bored.
That's why that thought came to mind..
