The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association - Episode 7
〈 7Episode 〉 Village leader Kang-ho's first appearance, and the seductress (1）
* * *
In broad daylight, Mo Ri-won stood in front of the thatched house floor, wrapped his fist in his palm and extended it forward..
Pogwonjirye (？？之)？）.
It was a greeting method used in martial arts to show respect to others..
“I'll be back.”
Mokriwon, dressed in gray military uniform, had a baggage strapped to his back..
He had an old iron sword at his waist, and in his arms was the book ‘Gangho Hyeopgaekjeon’, which had been with him since his long childhood..
Mok Seon-oh sat on the floor with a happy smile and answered Mok Ri-won..
“Okay, are you going to become a powerhouse?.”
How can you not know the accomplishments of your disciples?.
Mok Seon-oh, who realized that he had reached the climax with just a felt prayer, did not say another word..
I was proud and proud of him, and I only asked those questions to him, who was no longer a child..
“Kindergarten.”
“yes!”
“It will be tough for Gangho. Sometimes it will be heartless, sometimes vicious, and sometimes even vicious. Can you overcome the adversity?.”
Asking for determination.
Mok Riwon smiled confidently and answered..
“We will overcome all of this through consultation..”
“That's a great answer..”
Mok Seon Oh nodded..
Mile Seok, an old man with his arms crossed next to him, whose gray hair now covers half of his head, spoke..
“You speak really well..”
11Years passed, but Mile Seok's attitude was still blunt..
However, that doesn't mean that Mile-seok's feelings are like that..
Isn’t there something called affection that comes from living together?.
Mile-seok felt his heart sink at the sight of Mok-ri-won's confident appearance, so he took out a tile from his pocket and threw it at him..
“What is this?”
“If you ever need help, show it to the beggars in the city. Ah, to the guy with this belt around his waist..”
Miles said, tapping the belt around his waist..
“If it's not difficult, I'll help you.”
He had now stepped down from his position of openness and went into seclusion, but that did not mean that the power of the name Geolwang (？王）) in the Jungwon martial arts world had diminished..
In other words, just by holding his card, Mokriwon can become a guest of the opening..
Mo Liwon looked at Mile Seok with an emotional face..
“thank you!”
“Gratitude is a piece of cake.”
Mile Seok snorted, ‘Hmph!’.
As he did so, he poured out worried words that did not match his facial expression..
“You may have heard it all over your ears, but listen to it one more time..”
“yes!”
“Kangho won't like you.”
rattly.
A bitter smile bloomed on Mo Riwon’s face..
“…I know.”
“Yes, you are a genius. And he has the ultimate body. It would be fortunate if you could safely hide this fact, but there will definitely be people who will think of you as your older brother through your martial arts skills..”
“And through this martial arts, it means that there are people who can sense my identity..”
“don't stop talking.”
Mile Seok’s expression crumpled..
Mok Riwon burst out laughing..
“I'll keep that in mind.”
“bouncer.”
Mok Seon-oh smiled at the two people arguing..
Then he looked at Mokriwon and said,.
“Go see it.”
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have any regrets..
However, it would not be the teacher's duty to hold on to the student who is now trying to go his own way..
A reminder to suppress the rising regret.
Mo Ri-won felt moved as he looked at his teacher like that..
Mokriwon took a wide view and finally captured the house in his eyes..
Valley in the mountains covered with trees.
A thatched-roof house nestled low in the middle of it all..
And two teachers who are like family..
Now you will leave this place and go to a world that is no longer warm to you..
Mo Liwon slowly got down on his knees and began to bow, feeling both excited and worried..
Gubae Jirye.
After bowing with utmost respect to his teacher, Mok Riwon stood up and spoke..
“please! I will come back in obscurity!”
And turned around.
I didn't look back as I left the road..
This was because I knew very well that it would only add to the disappointment..
*
Go down the mountain for about three days.
Mokriwon, who had been walking leisurely with his luggage on his back, was amazed at the big city in front of him..
“It's a city now!”
I almost thought I was lost..
That's because all I could see was a mountain valley, and the place I went to, thinking it was a place where people live, was a ruin, so wouldn't that make me feel anxious?.
It was fortunate that he would not get lost in the mountains and starve to death during Gangho's first trip. Mok Ri-won entered the city with that thought in mind..
“Oh oh…!”
Mok Riwon’s two fists were clenched..
The eyes also began to shine with longing..
‘How could there be so many people?!’
Look here and see people, look there and see people.
They were all different ages and genders..
Even for those who have seen this in their lifetime, it came as a fresh shock to Mok Ri-won, who had just met Mok Seon-oh and Mile Seok..
In the middle of the day.
Growling.
Mo Ri-won blushed as if embarrassed by the growling sound that echoed in his stomach..
Then I glanced around..
Fortunately, no one else seemed to hear the sound..
“Come on, ugh!”
I felt embarrassed for no reason and cleared my throat for a moment..
Mokriwon soon began to walk..
‘I have to eat rice first..’
The destination is Gaekjan.
The food has already been decided.
‘Somen with bamboo leaf greens!’
Among the masters who appear in Ganghohyeokgaekjeon, there is not a single one who has not tried it, and it is literally the food of a thief..
Mok-ri-won, who was the first person to leave for Murim, started looking for a guesthouse with excited steps..
*
The main street of Suyang County, Gangseo Province.
There was a dazed atmosphere different from usual in the small guest cup called Sogaekjan..
there was no other reason.
The appearance of a young man 'drinking' somen in a corner was what created that atmosphere..
The gray military uniform and luggage leaning against the wall are shabby..
The sword on his waist is also an old sword that looks like it could be found lying around in the market..
However, even so, there was a radiance in him..
Skin too pale to be a man.
High bridge of the nose, thin face lines, and long eyelashes.
He looked like a nobleman whose clothes did not match his style..
As a result, the atmosphere in the guesthouse became strange..
I was under the illusion that he might be the son of a prestigious family who went into secret practice..
Walpae, who was sitting in the opposite corner of Mokriwon, looked at his outward appearance and hummed..
“Man, that thing doesn’t exactly look like a gisaeng old lady.?”
“Yeah, that… What, isn’t he the Jade Dragon of the Zhuge family or something??”
“Jegal? Hey, you too, brother. Why would the child of that family be in a place like this??”
“Don't you know? The rumor that he is a weirdo has spread all over this world..”
The conversation among the gangsters continued..
Behind him, Jeomsoi was looking at Mokriwon with his mouth wide open, and somewhere else, several young women were peeking at Mokriwon with hazy eyes..
That's what special looks are like..
It had the characteristic of attracting attention even when it was still, and it also had the characteristic of making people look at it positively no matter what it did..
So, the words of the women who are currently spying on Mokriwon should also be seen as being in that context..
“How can you make a meal so exciting?….”
Wrong.
to ravenous.
“Bamboo leaf greens flowed down your chin. It's also quite wobbly….”
It wasn't fluttering, it was spilling on purpose..
This is why there is a description in the ‘Gangho Hyeopgaekjeon’ that Mok Ri-won saw: [Bamboo leaf greens flowed down the chin]..
“He must be a master who went undercover in Sega..”
It was nonsense..
Mokriwon is a country boy born and raised in the mountains..
He was literally a thunderbolt with no sense of the world..
The misunderstanding deepened, but there was no one to resolve it..
In the meantime, Mok Ri-won was intoxicated with romance and was just smiling with his ears closed..
‘it's good!’
It's thrilling!
‘This is the taste of a charlatan!’
How can romance and romanticism overlap?.
The somen was moderately soft, and the bamboo leaf greens were excellent, with a spicy flavor that burned your throat..
Mokriwon felt like shedding tears at the taste of the worldly food, which was different from the vegetables she had eaten in the mountains..
‘Feel so good…!’
As Mok Ri-won laughed brightly at the thought that he could do this for the rest of his life, gasps erupted from everywhere..
Only then did Mokriwon become aware of his surroundings..
‘hmm?’
I turn my head and everyone is startled and puts their head on the table..
Also, the commotion suddenly subsides..
While tilting his head at the strange reactions, Mokriwon heard a sigh..
“Huh….”
My gaze glanced towards the source of the sound..
What was there was a grayish old man and a middle-aged man sitting in front of him looking like he was about to die..
Mok Riwon felt curious about them..
There was no particular reason, it was just that I thought their complexion looked like they were people in need of help..
Mokriwon’s inner energy rose from the Danjeon and enveloped his ears..
A sort of grab that maximizes hearing..
It was something I learned from Geolwang..
“I'm dying because of Gyeonghwaru..”
“That's what I said. How can they have no blood or tears? Why are they trying to monopolize all the commercial space?….”
‘Gyeonghwaru?’
Mo Riwon narrowed his eyebrows and focused on one word..
‘Just hearing the name makes you think it's a tavern or a restaurant.….’
While Mo Ri-won was deep in thought, a middle-aged man who was thinking about dying hit the table..
bang!
“It's all because of that girl!”
“Hey, look!”
“Did I say something wrong? Actually, you don’t think so either! From the day that enchantress entered Gyeonghwaru, her alley began to change strangely! The money collected in the name of protection fees from Heukdo doubled, and unknown warriors began to appear everywhere! It's not clear that if we keep going like this, we'll all be blown away.!”
The excited middle-aged voice filled the room..
However, there was one thing that made me suspicious. If that person was so excited, anyone would go to stop him, but no one in the room was paying any attention to him..
No, there were more accurate words..
‘…avoid eye contact.’
The people in the guest room were averting their gaze from him..
Mo Liwon's eyes lit up at this strange situation..
‘It's time for cooperation!’
Mok Ri-won, a smart-ass country boy, could only think of such thoughts in this serious atmosphere..
*
When digging up information, of course there were factors to consider..
Things like secrecy and caution..
However, Mok Riwon did not know such a thing..
The complacency that if you just ask someone on the street, they will answer..
That's the only thing in Mokriwon..
…Should I call this fortunate?.
Meanwhile, Mokriwon's attempt was successful..
It was because of his handsome face that did not fit his theme..
“Thank you, Soger! I will not forget this grace.”
“Oh no!”
In front of Mok Ri-won, who was holding hands, women with very red faces left the place as if running away..
Mo Ri-won straightened his back and continued his thoughts without any doubts about it..
‘It's a fairy.!’
That's what the sojourners told me.
One day, a woman suddenly came into Soyang County..
Such were the actions of a woman with extraordinary beauty..
‘He went to the owner of Honghwaru and played the instrument, and he was mesmerized by the performance and listened to the witch.….’
Mok Riwon narrowed his eyes..
‘I doubt it.’
He could have said that it was just because he was good at playing the instrument, but Mok Ri-won remembered something that Mile-seok had told him before..
In the martial arts world, all kinds of strange witchcraft are rampant. Among them, there is a particularly vicious one called seophonjutsu (???) that captures people's hearts..
It's a wedding ceremony.?
Yes, it is a technique that clouds a person's reason and turns him into a puppet..
What the witch did may have been seduction..
Also, since she appeared, the movement of the Black Island has become more intense, so she may be a scout sent by the Black Island group to devour Soyang County..
‘I was definitely told she was a temptress..’
Mok Ri-won stretched his unused brain and continued his thoughts..
Seophonjutsu.
A method of capturing people's hearts and turning them into puppets..
Even if it wasn't that, there was a possibility that it was some kind of martial arts that captured the heart..
And if that was the case, Mok Riwon also knew something..
‘color ball…!’
Mok Riwon’s face turned red..
7Unlike the older Mok Riwon, Mok Riwon, who now had knowledge of such areas, also knew the inside story of the fight that took place between Mile Seok and the Blue-Blooded Demon, which he had once heard of..
So, I found out how the color ball mesmerizes people..
“Uh huh!”
Mokriwon jerks his body! I turned and looked toward the location of Gyeonghwaru, which I had heard about just before..
‘What a color baller!’
…The moment Mok Ri-won thought of the word 'saek', he was convinced that the witch's trick was not a hex but a 'saek'..
Of course, there was no reason.
crackling!
‘It's dangerous.!’
Mokriwon ran towards Gyeonghwaru Pavilion..
It was because of the belief that color balls were really dangerous martial arts and that civilians should not suffer from them..
It was because of the thought that if Yang Min were to be attacked, his energy would be sucked to death..
‘I'd rather!’
If it were me, I could survive with what I had.!
You can take advantage of the gap!
Mokriwon’s steps became faster..
A crooked smile was hanging over his red-faced face..
‘color ball!’
I was in the process of thinking of a promise to myself that I would not let it go..
