Chapter 6: Four Heavenly Tang Families)
Chapter 6: Four Heavenly Tang Families)
After destroying the wild plants of Nokrimdo Island, we headed straight to Sacheon along the road..
I quickly caught up with the group using the dark sign..
“Daehyup!”
When I joined the group, I could feel the different perspectives..
Everyone looked at me in awe..
“I know I'm a bit special.”
Joo Seo-cheon was proud as he turned his nose up..
It's a lie if you say this kind of gaze is burdensome..
If it were like before, if your identity was revealed, you would be bothered and all, but not now..
If I had done that in the first place, I would have hidden my name..
It wasn't the way I looked at a hero yet, but it felt good because it was similar to what I once dreamed of..
‘It's really nice to have some freedom. When I climb up to the flower garden, I can say goodbye to this awful hiding..’
The reason I hid my power all this time is because of the gaze of the Amcheonhoe..
For no reason, I was worried that they would keep me in check, saying I was the bud of a political faction..
The Dark Heavens are annoying, but their power is real..
A young expert who is reasonably well-known is okay..
However, if you show power that goes beyond common sense, you will be targeted..
Don’t they say too much is too little?.
Appropriateness is always important.
Four days later, the group arrived safely in Chengdu, Sichuan..
In the meantime, there were no attacks by thieves or bandits..
“Oh my, Ju Seocheon Daehyup. Thanks to you, I was able to arrive safely without any damage..”
“There was a person by my side who might become the greatest expert in Hwasan in the future. What should I worry about??”
“ha ha ha!”
As soon as we arrived in Chengdu, the merchants were rubbing their palms and groveling..
“Ehh… … Tsk tsk.”
The gold warriors clicked their tongues when they saw that..
He was really blatantly flattering me and groveling..
‘What, you're just an ordinary gold merchant?.’
The person in charge didn't mind..
I dealt with it, roughly accepting it as if I was used to it..
Compared to the top stocks, this is nothing..
Lee Uichae goes one step further and says, ‘I might become the best expert in Hwasan? No, you are the one who will become one!' I would have said.
“Well then, I have some work to do so I'll just leave..”
I waved my hand and parted ways with the top..
I saw merchants and warriors bowing and bowing..

Four Rivers Tang Family).
As a noble family representing Sacheon, its reading and memorization is considered one of the best in the political sect, and even in the entire martial arts world..
Needless to say, its authority was such that it made the Murim League, Sadocheon, and even Sae-oe famous..
“Volcanic Juseocheon?”
Danghye, the third daughter of the direct line of the Tang family, asked back with her characteristic harsh gaze..
“Yes, lady.”
The guard warrior answered while prostrating himself..
“Hmm”
Tang Hui frowned and lost in thought..
I was able to immediately think of tapping the table a few times..
“The boy who helped the Fourteen Swordsmen defeat the Tao Soo Spear Soldiers... … So Soo-geom, was he a disciple of Yu Jeong-mok?.”
The escort warriors were quite impressed by her murmurs..
“That's great, lady. He doesn't seem to be particularly famous, so did you think of him that much just by hearing his name??”
“If you are a child of a party family, you must have a keen eye for information. Even if I take it for granted, it won't make me happy..”
Danghye answered calmly and stood up..
“What brought the volcano's disciple here??”
“As far as I know, there was no connection of any kind between the Bon family and the Huashan faction... … I guess I visited it while I was stopping by Sacheon on my way to Gangho..”
She answered the guard's question and walked away..
Danghye’s guess wasn’t wrong..
When disciples of the Great Gate Sect or children of famous families usually go to Gangho, they usually visit the Nine Sects and the Five Great Families..
Even if there was no particular purpose, it was to make the connection between the Daemun factions deeper and closer by interacting with each other..
But that wasn't the only reason.
The purpose of visiting Sacheondangga was threefold..
The first was what I just said, and the second was to get some medicine..
The third is in some ways the same as the first, but the difference is that the person who gave the medicine was a person from the Four Heavenly Dang Family..
‘Dokbong, Danghae’
In the martial arts world, it is special to have dragon and bong attached to the nickname..
Among the later exponents in their twenties and thirties, there were only eight of them..
Five dragons and three peaks)!
Five dragons, three phoenixes.
The dragon is male, and the phoenix is female..
These Five Dragons and Three Peaks were the most outstanding young people, evaluated in various aspects such as their affiliation, beauty, and martial arts..
Although Ju Seo-cheon had never seen Tang Hye in person, he knew her well..
As a martial artist, if you don’t know, it’s even weirder..
Oryongsambong always attracts attention..
It was only natural that it was the highest honor I could achieve before I turned 30..
“The lady is coming.”
The driver quickly approached me and informed me..
‘Normally, I'm a person that no one can meet..’
These are the five dragons and three peaks of the world..
They weren't people I could meet just because I wanted to..
However, this one was also a disciple of the Hwasan Sect, which was not very obscure, and was also a disciple of Soyu Ken, who was famous as a transcendent expert..
I don't know if Sacheondanga is busy, but that's not the case, so I can't refuse his visit..
Compared to Dokbong's reputation, it's a bit premature, but it's still enough to show his face for a moment..
It's good
The door opened and a woman came in..
Joo Seocheon looked at that face and looked blank for a moment..
‘……?’
It was definitely beautiful. It is not enough compared to Naksowol..
She was that beautiful..
The raised eyebrows gave me a harsh impression..
The height was neither big nor small, just medium..
Age appears to be in early twenties.
Her long black hair, which went over her back and reached her waist, was curled and well plaited to give a rich look..
The eyes were beautiful, but the pupils were also unusual..
Once I saw it, I saw an unforgettable intensity and a bit of venom..
The overall look was not as blunt and cold as ice, but rather like a lioness sitting quietly..
The moment most martial people see her for the first time, they immediately understand why the nickname has 'poison' attached to it..
And I used to say that there is no other nickname more suitable than Dokbong..
This may be due to Tang Hye's training in poison, but more than that, the intense eyes filled with venom are impressive..
‘I'm sure it's my first time seeing it.……’
I only know Danghye's name, but I've never seen her before..
I didn't know exactly what happened to her after death, but I only knew that she was caught up in war..
If I had seen such a beauty, I would never have forgotten it, but I was puzzled by the feeling that I had seen it somehow..
“Young Taoist, why are you so mesmerized?.”
I came to my senses by Joo Seocheon's Danghye's voice..
“From what I've heard, the Taoists of Hwasan are said to be perverts who are only excited by swords, but looking at Sohyeop, I don't think that's true..”
Danghye said something outrageous without even blinking an eyebrow..
“yes?”
Joo Seocheon couldn't believe his ears for a moment..
I thought I heard wrong.
Tang Hye crossed her legs, lifted her chin, and looked at Joo Seo-cheon vaguely..
“sorry. I hope you will forgive me with your generosity as this was an excessively offensive statement..”
“……”
Joo Seocheon was dumbfounded..
“When most men see me for the first time, they look at me with wide eyes and say it's just my name..
In comparison, small cooperatives are at least not of that type. I’m glad it’s pretty fresh..”
There's something unusual about this woman..
“Don't worry, Sohyeop. If you don't think about making unnecessary moves, you will be able to barely remember someone when their name is mentioned three times..”
‘Was Dokbong this kind of woman?.’
All I knew about Dokbong Danghye was that she had excellent poison and magic skills, and was also wise and beautiful..
It's not that I didn't know anything about personality..
All I know is that I have a personality that doesn't like to lose..
Other than that, I didn't investigate properly..
“Well, you can stay as long as you want, so just take a rest. Please don't come looking for me..”
I told him outright not to be a bother..
“It seems Dokbong has a short temper. The reason I came to Dokbong was because I wanted to compete..”
Danghye turned her back and stopped walking..
“…… victory?”
“yes. That too is a bet..”
Dokbong Danghye is particularly proud among other children of prestigious families..
When someone puts up a bet like this, he reacts..
Of course, this game requires basic qualifications..
“……”
Tang Hye sat down and crossed her legs..
Then he put pressure on me with a fierce look, as if telling me to say something..
“As a martial artist, the match will be decided as a draw. It's okay for a single person to come forward, and it doesn't matter if an agent is appointed..”
“quite… … You say something interesting..”
The calm before the storm turned into a storm..
Tang Hye didn't even seem to think about hiding her energy..
The air around becomes heavy..
My breathing suddenly became suffocating..
As I slowly turned my eyes, I saw the flower plant turn dark and lower its head..
It was poison.
Until now, he had been sitting alone on the rock, but now it felt like he was going to rush at any moment..
The ferocity was so terrifying that anyone who was not a martial artist, or even an expert at that, could barely breathe..
“I'm sorry, but if you're going to compare this body to other ordinary bitches, you'd better stop..”
Those eyes shined insidiously and viciously..
A dark green haze slowly rose from the slender fingers..
The inside of the room is filled with a thick poison..
Part of the wall became soft, but eventually it melted little by little..
Joo Seocheon didn't care about that energy..
I didn't even frown, and just passed it off like nothing happened..
“what i have to say.”
Dokbong Danghye's age is twenty-three this year..
Although he was definitely Kangho's senior, there wasn't that much of a difference..
The other person doesn't show respect or courtesy, but I didn't intend to accommodate them either..
“What to bet on?”
“famous sword.”
Grumble!
Joo Seocheon took out Yehan and placed it on the table..
Tang Hui just rolled her eyes and glanced at Ye Han..
“It's definitely not a bad thing, but if you want to marry me, I think you're a thief..”
“Not all men are interested in you.”
Tang Hui frowned when she heard that..
The face says, 'Then what do you want?' It seemed to be engraved with.
“Dead cold poison).”
When poisoned, all parts of the body feel cold.
It is a poison that freezes and eventually causes one to freeze to death even in the middle of summer..
Mannyeonhwari contains quite a bit of fire energy..
If you take it as is, you will not be able to absorb it properly, and if you make a mistake, you could suffer internal injuries..
So, I needed something to take along with Naedan of Mannyeonhwari, and that was Binghan poison..
In my heart, I wanted to get an elixir, not a poison..
But for now there was nothing available..
The Millennium Snow Ginseng from Daeseol Mountain is good, but you freeze to death during the search before you can get it..
There is a way to use the yin energy of Sunwol Shrine, but it is not at the level of how to use the fire energy of Mannyeonhwari..
So, while wondering if there was anything that could replace it, I thought of Binghandok..
Just as an elixir can become poison if taken incorrectly, poison can also be used as medicine if used properly..
“poison……?”
Danghye looked like she didn't understand..
The bent eyebrows had no intention of straightening..
Binghan poison was not a common poison, at least not easily available for money..
But that doesn't mean you can't give it away without permission..
There was plenty of poison in Sacheondanga..
It's not a song about poison and memorization for nothing..
Of course, that doesn't mean that anyone can take it out and give it away, but she, who is the direct line and sole proponent of the Tang family, is an exception..
“……I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be asked to give out poison from the mouth of a disciple of Hwasan. If your intention was to surprise me, it's definitely a huge success..”
Political factions tend to look down on poison and memorization, calling it cowardly..
Dislike is basic, and there are many people who despise it..
Despite this tendency, it is 'necessary' for the Sichuan Party to be able to join the political factions, especially the five famous families..
Unlike the political faction, the hostile faction, the Sa faction, actively uses poison and memorization..
The damage caused by this can never be ignored..
And to minimize this damage even a little, you had to know about poison and memorization..
If you keep your knowledge, you will win 100 battles.)!
In order to decipher the poison, one had to study the poison, and the only political sect martial arts group that specialized in this poison was the Sacheondangmun..
It is for this reason that Sacheondangmun can remain as one of the five generations..
However, I couldn't help but wonder when a disciple of Hwasan, who only sacrificed his life for the sword, asked for poison..
“If you're curious about the intention, why not win the bet and ask??”
“It's a very nice provocation, but it's not good to keep messing with my temper like that..”
Danghye made a threat as she placed her palm on the round table..
“If you put your head in the river and press the back of your head with your foot, you can turn into a water ghost, as the name suggests.!”
profit!
The part where I pressed my palm on the table was dented and left a mark..
When I dropped my palm, I saw a dark, rotted area..
‘scary bitch!’
Joo Seocheon stuck out his tongue..
My personality wasn't usually harsh..
Isn’t it a poisonous bong, not a poisonous bong??
“I'll accept the win.”
Tang Hye stood up and smiled cruelly..
‘Phew!’
Fortunately, everything went according to plan..
If Tang Hye had refused, the future would have been quite troublesome..
Joo Seo-cheon sighed in relief, but did not show it on the outside and asked a question calmly..
“Then decide the date and place.……”
When my mind is completely relaxed.
The moment the atmosphere relaxed, Danghye attacked like poison..
pababat!
Danghye turned around and stretched out her hands..
The memorization held between my fingers shoots out and spins round and round..
“Inhale!”
I stopped breathing for a moment in surprise..
I was surprised by the raid, but I didn't just sit there in vain..
Your body reacts before your thoughts even occur..
When I saw the memorization flying towards my face, I turned my neck to the side to avoid it..
wedge!
Then came the memorization.
Because my mind was so focused, I was able to catch the memorization in an instant this time..
‘Poisonous poison)?’
There is only one memorization in Moorim that is the size of a finger and shaped like a butterfly..
It is the pride of the party..
Knowledge of the Tang family's independent collection comes to mind..
“this!”
threw myself to the left.
Not one, but two poisonous jets flew where he was..
It was the first poison and the second poison..
Jjaeng!
As the poisons collide with each other, they emit a metallic sound and sparks fly in the air..
“I praise you for avoiding the fate of a dead soul.!”
It is a memorization technique that is considered a season of Tang Dynasty..
Even if you dodge the poison, Chuhonbijip returns and targets the enemy until the end..
As befits the name poison, a considerable amount of poison is applied to the memorization, so be careful..
“The surprise attack failed, what should I do??”
Joo Seocheon chuckled and said, ‘Haha.’.
The Tang family's strengths are poison and memorization..
Tactics that focus on these two are usually surprise attacks or sneak attacks..
It may be something that will be criticized by those in the political faction, but there is already enough criticism just for poisoning and memorizing as a weapon, so there is no reason to be reluctant now..
“okay……?”
Danghye laughed heartily..
The eyes are not smiling.
“That arrogance will become a poison that threatens your life.!”
Danghye put all her energy into it and stamped her feet as hard as she could..
Rumbling!
It seemed like there was thunder in the dry sky..
The loud noise that erupted the moment Danghye's feet made a dent in the ground was what it was..
The wooden floor broke and pieces came flying out at once..
Hundreds of pieces were spinning and scattering..
“Dead!”
Danghye shouted and stretched out her arms..
Pieces of wood bounced off the palms covered in bets and flew away..
The sight of hundreds of them flying at once is spectacular..
Joo Seocheon did not panic and responded calmly..
Yehan, wearing a sword, spun around splendidly..
“It's over.”
A deep smile spread across Danghye’s lips..
It was an obvious laugh.
Whirling!
Something falls on Joo Seocheon’s head..
It was a poison that hit me in the air earlier and then disappeared..
When Tang Hye saw that, she had no doubt that she would win..
“It's a surprise!”
Joo Seocheon let out a surprised voice..
It's not because I'm surprised by Tang Hye's tactics..
That's because each and every single strike right now is an attack that will cause fatal injuries..
Powwow!
After rotating three times in a circle, a strong wind blew out..
It was an attack filled with incredible power..
The pieces that were pouring down with the force of devouring the human body were not able to exert much force and were crushed by the pressure of the sword..
Without even checking the result, Joo Seocheon twisted his wrist and swung his sword above his head..
There was no fricative sound like “chaeng”.
As the sword passed by, the memorization in the shape of a butterfly was neatly cut into two halves..
“……”
The atmosphere sank low..
Instead of silence, Joo Seocheon's horrified voice fills the room..
“Crazy bitch! Are you planning to kill me??”
If you had been hit by a blow just now, you would have lost your life..
“What's going on?!”
“It's a reception room.!”
There was a commotion outside..
If you don't know, it's even weirder since you've been causing this mess so far..
“miss!”
thud!
The intact door was smashed and fell out..
Immediately after that, several warriors from the Tang family came in and protected Tang Hui..
“Yes, you guy! where is this……”
“What was your name??”
Danghye interrupted what the warrior was saying and asked,.
“Joo Seocheon …
Joo Seocheon ………”
Danghye muttered as if she was thinking about it..
The emotions in that voice were shame and anger..
who you are!
Isn’t it the poisonous peak of Oryongsambong?!
He is in a position where he can be confident that he is the strongest not only among martial artists of his age but also among those in their twenties..
But I lost.
Even if he was from an old school, it was shocking to lose to someone who was not that much older than him..
“Don't touch him until I come..”
Danghye said this to the warriors and went out..
‘I'm sure they're not planning another surprise or sneak attack.?’
The way Sachandanga fights is like spraying water..
They avoid direct combat and usually seek to catch the enemy off guard..
That's because it would be so disadvantageous to compete head on..
If a sneak attack or surprise attack is successful, the power is considerable..
If you're good at it, you can kill it with one hit without using any effort..
But if you fail, the recoil is severe..
Usually, if a member of the Tang family fails in a surprise attack and fights head-on, his or her status will drop by one level, at most two levels..
This was because poison and memorization specialized in attacking while the opponent was unaware..
If the opponent knows the poison or memorization, even if they are inferior to the user, they can easily evade or destroy it..
So Tang Hye also pretended to go back at first and made a surprise attack..
In the end, he deliberately flipped the floor to steal people's attention and used Chuhonbijeop to deliver a turning blow..
The state of Oryongsambong and Dokbong is the peak ahead of the transcendent peak..
Considering the age, this is relatively fast..
If you take into account surprise attacks, you could take down even a supreme expert..
The problem is that even when the other person is bad, they are too bad..
“something promised.”
It hadn't been that long since I had been lost in thought, but Danghye quickly returned carrying an iron bucket as big as the palm of her hand..
“okay.”
I was wondering why the adults from the party still hadn't come, but I decided to put that question aside for a moment..
It would have been better to leave this place quickly while I was wondering..
“It was dirty when we met, let's never meet again..”
I like beautiful women.
But I don't like crazy bitches..
I didn't want to get involved for no reason..
I wanted the kite to end here.
“I know what's scary about Tangga.?”
“I don't want to know?”
“It's the worst family in Gangho..”
Tang Hye laughed scaryly..
“If a woman harbors resentment, it won't end with frost falling even in May..
I'm the kind of person who always pays what I owe, so I'll bet that instead of frost, poison will spread and engulf your body..”
“I heard that the Tang family is the most conversant in the world, Soje..
I've finished my business, so I'll go. From now on, let’s just see each other for the first time without any hesitation. haha.”
Joo Seo-cheon smiled and walked past Dang-hye..
The warriors of the Tang family tried to capture Zhou Seocheon, but Tang Hui raised his hand and stopped them..
Then, as if trying to capture his image in my mind, I looked at him until I could no longer see him leaving..
* * *
Rumors circulated in Sacheon.
“Hey, did you hear that??”
“I don't know about that. what is that?”
“Ugh, the news is really slow..”
“Why are you so quiet? Tell me quickly.”
“Not long ago, a young man met Dokbong and they made a bet..”
“Doesn't that happen often??”
Betting with Danghye is a specialty of Sacheon..
Dokbong is so beautiful that it is said to be the most beautiful thing in Sacheon..
There are dozens of men who visit our house every day just to get a glimpse of her..
And among them, there were several who challenged each other by demanding marriage..
If you had certain qualifications, it wasn't difficult to make a bet on marriage after meeting..
My personality of not wanting to lose played a role..
The result was without question.
Instead of winning, most of the warriors couldn't even stand the challenge and fell out..
Dokbong is not just an off-white star..
It's a name you can only get by being in the top ranks in your twenties..
Even compared to martial artists in their thirties, Tang Hye's level of martial arts is quite high..
If you can beat her like that, you're already over 40..
If you want to make her a bride at that age, it won't end in double lust..
Perhaps the father and head of the family might come running..
“Don't be surprised when you hear this.”
“Oh, that's right. Don't drag it on, tell me quickly!”
“It is said that the young man surprisingly won against Dokbong.!”
what?
People couldn't help but be surprised.
Winning against Dokbong means that you are at the level of Ohryongsambong..
The rumor quickly spread to Wulin..
“Let's talk in detail!”
The rumor spreading around Gangho is roughly as follows..
The young man asked for a secret service with a purpose..
However, it is said that the dance was not done with all its might..
“From what I heard, if you can withstand a few combinations of Dokbong, it is Bimu, the victory of a young man..”
“No, that's the only way to marry that poisonous beetle.?”
“Hmm, it doesn’t seem like a marriage. I don't know, but they asked for things like elixirs or goods..”
“aha. Well then. Would Dokbong, if not anyone else, get married so easily? It was just a way to kill time! LOL LOL!”
The men breathed a sigh of relief..
If you take away the most beautiful woman in Sichuan for something like this, you will be so unfair for a while that your stomach will hurt and you will not be able to sleep..
“Still, it's great that I was able to withstand a few wins from Ohryong Sambong. I wonder who it is again... … Do you know?”
“I know.”
“that's someone?”
“Joo Seocheon!”
