Chapter 205
Please allow episode 205.
Gowol was working in his room..
This time, I was preparing a budget for how and where I would spend the funds I had acquired in relation to fresh vegetables. Calculate, organize, and make plans. There was no end to the work..
At that time, someone came in urgently to help make this difficult situation that was repeated every time less difficult..
“Gongja Lee and Gwonma are returning to the school..”
At the words of the Pungcheon religious leader, the brush in Gowol's hand stopped for a moment and then started moving again..
“when?”
“Looks like he wants to go right now.”
Looking at Gowol, who was still working, the leader of Pungcheon asked:.
“I’m not upset that I’m going to a science and engineering degree.?”
“It's a shame. He's a busy person, so he should go when the time comes..”
“I'll go with you too..”
Gao Yue was still absorbed in work..
“I'm really going! It's not a joke!”
“If you go, I will go back with you..”
It was just that he was grumpy because he was busy working, but Gowol's reaction was unexpected. I really meant to go back together..
“really?”
“okay. If the leader goes, I will go too. I won't do it alone.”
A smile appeared on the face of the Pungcheon religious leader..
“Even if it's just empty words, it feels good. Okay, where are we going? I have to finish my work.”
“Let's go.”
“are you okay. I've already been there.”
He was the leader of the Pungcheon Church who flew all the way to the Heavenly Demon Church with just one word from Gowol..
“And if I go back now, I'll be crazy.”
“why?”
“Gongja Lee is going to kill Inja Lee, the sadomaeng..”
Gowol was startled. It was the most surprising news that the leader of Pungcheon came into the room and delivered..
“wild?”
“Yeah, that guy!”
The leader of Pungcheon knew about Yayulhan. I've met you in the past.
“No matter how skilled he is, it won't be easy for him..”
I had never met Gowol in person. However, based on rumors alone, I knew that this was not a formidable opponent. But that wasn't the problem.
“The religious leader would never allow it anyway..”
The leader of Pungcheon recalled what Geommugeuk had said earlier. About his magic. About his attitude towards evil.
“If a person of merit becomes a Heavenly Demon... … It's really going to change a lot..”
Gowol stopped brushing for a moment and said.
“Hasn’t a lot already changed??”
And they stood at the center of that change..
Then the sword dance came in..
“I think we've already spread the news that our leader is leaving. Looks like I have to go this way.”
“proceed carefully.”
“I'm leaving you behind to suffer again..”
“There isn't much left to do now. I'll finish it well and go back..”
“The funds are?”
“I think we can finish it with the money collected from Sinseonchae..”
“Good. Let's keep in touch with each other.”
“yes. Please be considerate, Confucius. Oh, and you can use the completed regional information network at any time..”
Just hearing about the sword dance was reassuring. If Tongcheongak and Gowol's information networks are combined, the person in the martial arts world who gets the most information the fastest will be Geommugeuk himself..
“Have you thought of a name for this intelligence organization??”
“Confucius decide.”
“I want to name it Eunwol after you. What do you think??”
Gowol’s eyes wavered. I was grateful for the consideration of Geommugeuk, which included my name in the production..
“I really like it. thank you for your concern.”
“I should be the one to thank you. I'm sorry for entrusting you with such a difficult task from the beginning..”
“I am rather grateful to you for entrusting me with this important responsibility from the beginning..”
While Geomgeuk and Gowol were saying goodbye, the leader of Pungcheon Church and Gwonma also shared a brief farewell..
The head of Pungcheon first greeted Gwon Ma..
“It was nice to meet you this time..”
“I had no idea that the leader was so devoted to his disciples. Thank you.”
In fact, the leader of the Pungcheon Church had no close friends among the Magons. At least Mabul and I were close friends, but things have already gone wrong..
Although I had a chance to get to know Gwonma this time, I couldn't have a deep conversation with him because I was worried about him and his wife..
“Let's have a drink next time we get a chance..”
It was the sincerity of the Pungcheon religious leader..
“Hey, Lee Gongja. Be sure to ask me for permission.”
This was also sincere.

I ran at a light distance with a winning horse..
On the way back, I enjoyed it slowly and played around, but on the way back, I ran at a truly terrifying speed..
We ran without stopping until it got dark. The distance that took several days to come was covered in half a day..
“Let’s camp here today. Please sit down for a moment.”
I organized my surroundings with skill. First, we made a place for the horse to sit by spreading leaves so that he could rest comfortably..
I was thankful for him. I really never imagined that he would allow this. Considering his relationship with his father, he was the one who would be most against it, but he gave priority to his relationship with me..
While Gwonma closed his eyes and was having a fortune-telling breakfast, I lit a bonfire in front of him..
Game was caught and cooked. Before leaving, I stopped by the guest house and bought the seasonings needed for a few dishes, so I was able to serve some pretty delicious dishes..
“Did you bring some seasoning??”
“sure. This is most important when traveling long distances. how does it taste?”
“It's delicious.”
“Do you know whose recipe for this seasoning is??”
“It tastes just like the leader used to make..”
I was surprised by those words..
“Have you tried your father’s cooking??”
“I've had it a couple of times before. There was a time when I traveled around a lot with the religious leader. We fought a lot back then..”
For a moment, I imagined my father and the horse..
Two men, Cheonma and Gyeongma.
It reminds me of my father when he was young. A young horseman can also be seen next to him. The boy who was fighting in the fighting arena became the Champion, and the young man who chose the boy became the Cheonma..
I thought about the two men who were blunt, manly, and the most aggressive in the martial arts world, traversing Gangho. They wouldn't be afraid of anyone, they wouldn't be intimidated by anyone.
Just as I fought the enemy back to back with Extreme Soma, the two of you must have fought while relying on each other..
And at night, they would light a bonfire like this and eat alcohol and meat. He probably said very little..
Maybe Gwonma is reminiscing about his younger days while camping with me right now..
“There is also alcohol here.”
I took out the alcohol I had brought and poured it out..
A glass of alcohol with a horse riding around a bonfire was exhilarating..
“Travel is more important when you return..”
“why is that like that?”
“Do you know when the trip will finally be completed? As I opened my room and entered, I thought, ‘Ah! 'It's finally back!' It's time to throw yourself on the bed. So we are now running towards the end. Rather, it is a more important time than the excitement of departure..”
The horse looked at me with strange eyes..
“How do you know so well??”
Because my past life was a series of long journeys. And I didn't have my own room to return to.
My room at the time was in the yard of a ghost's house. When I brought Dafa materials and looked at him with a surprised face, I thought, Ah! You did it! Because it was a very brief relief..
“This trip with Master was so good..”
I am a good match for this honest and quiet person. Now I talk a lot, tease, laugh, and talk a lot. Because originally, I was a lot like that Gwonma..
“By the way, when you pass away, please reduce the time you spend participating in Tekken training..”
He specifically asked me if Gwonma also tried to do that..
“Should I just participate in one each day? Today is Baekwon, tomorrow is Cheongwon. like this.”
“no. Then shouldn’t Master see them every day? Instead, visit all four places a day as usual, but only participate once every five days..”
“five days?”
“As for the remaining four things, do whatever the Master wants you to do. It's entirely on Master's time..”
“Late night training meeting?”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to come, come, if you want to rest, rest..”
Gwonma nodded. This trip changed Gwonma’s life. I look forward to the results of that change..
When the sun came up, we ran and ran. When I ran like that and ran out of energy, I sat together and had a fortune-telling breakfast to recover my energy..
So we ran without hesitation and returned to the school..
* * *
When I returned to Heavenly Demon Church, my father was in an iron room..
Our school’s iron room is the largest in Moorim..
Inside a huge steel room, hundreds of shirtless men were melting molten iron and pounding iron..
The scorching heat, the smell of sweat, and the smell of metal..
Kaang! Kang! Kyaang!
I've always loved hearing this sound of metal hitting. The dangerous fierceness of swords clashing with swords was contained in that sound. So that sound always sounds hot.
The men who made eye contact with me bowed. I also lightly greeted them and walked there..
I could see my father in the distance. Even in this place where so many people come and go, my father’s presence is evident. In a picture where everything appears black and white, only the father stands out like a red dot..
My father was standing with Kwak Bang-ju, the person in charge of the iron room here and also called Shinsoo. Kwak Bang-ju was showing his newly made sword to his father. When he created a new weapon, he always asked his father for his opinion before mass producing it..
Since the two were talking so seriously while examining their swords, I waited a while at a distance..
The person who is the best at using a sword in the world and the person who is the best at making a sword in the world are sharing opinions. Could there be a more touching scene in this iron room??
If this newly created sword is passed, it will be mass-produced and replace the swords of our school's warriors. Swords are improved at Cheolbang, usually once every five years, but at most once every ten years..
This improved sword is issued to all warriors at our school. Each person may use a different sword at their discretion, but most of our school's warriors use swords made by our school's Cheolbang. The quality is that good..
At that time, my father looked back. I made eye contact with my father. Are you here? Yes, I have been there. It's short and simple, but it's such a welcome greeting..
I greeted my father in a loud voice..
“How have you been? Soja, returned after finishing his term in Jungwon..”
Then my father said to me.
“Are you currently working? I heard you went there to play pranks with the horse.?”
“I don't know who is spreading such unpleasant rumors..”
Of course it is me. This is because when I leave Jungwon, I regularly share my news through Tongcheongak. If you cooperate well like this, you can actively receive help later when you need it..
Kwak Ark looked at us with a slightly surprised expression. It must have been surprising to see my father and I conversing so comfortably..
“Come and see the new sword.”
I looked at the sword my father gave me. After examining the sword closely, I told him what I felt..
“It's slightly lighter than the existing sword. The length is slightly longer.”
As soon as I realized it, a look of admiration flashed across Kwak's eyes..
“It's a subtle difference, but you recognize it..”
“Of course, how much training did you do with the old man’s sword?.”
“what does it look like?”
“To be honest, I'm not sure because these days I only focus on punching rather than swordsmanship..”
I passed it on with a smile. To put it bluntly, I could suggest it, but is there any need for it when my father is there??
The father conveyed his thoughts to Kwak Bang-ju..
“I think it would be good to make it just a little bit lighter. The length is just right now.”
“Okay, teacher..”
My father thought the same as me. He even pointed out parts I hadn't even thought of..
“Narrow the grain of the sword handle just a little. It seems more slippery than before.”
“Okay, teacher..”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“We will contact you again when completed..”
My father came out of the room, and I followed him out after saying hello to Kwak Bang-ju. The men standing in the path my father was passing all stopped moving and bowed. Their respect and fear for their father was like the hot fire they handled..
“When did you come??”
“just arrived.”
“The horse is?”
“It will arrive in about half an hour..”
“Didn't you come together??”
“He asked me to make a bet at the last minute..”
After a while, I spoke to my father..
“I have become a disciple of the Demon King..”
My father’s steps stopped for a moment. I had told my father in advance and even received his permission, but for some reason I was nervous..
How does my father feel??
Would you be offended? Or would you be calm? Or do you think it went well??
No matter how hard you try to see your father clearly, it is very difficult to understand his heart. This incident was sure to mean something to my father, but he never showed any emotion about it..
“The martial arts?”
“I have been taught all six volumes of the Byeokryeok Sura..”
“It seems like he doesn't know how foolish you are yet. I should have passed the last two books on to you while watching you do them..”
“father. Masters are so grumpy that martial artists end up losing their skills..”
We walked across the Great Yeonmujang towards Cheonmajeon. Horsemen passing by bowed to my father and greeted him..
“father. I have a favor to ask you. It's very important..”
We stopped in the middle of the grand performance hall. It was because I wanted to talk in this open space, not in Cheonmajeon. Because this was a Joongwon affair and an affair outside the main school..
“I want to kill Yayulhan of the Sado Alliance. please allow.”
It was a situation that could have resulted in shouting..
But instead of yelling, my father had that characteristic sneer on his lips..
“Absolutely not possible!”
It was attached to the absolute in front of the fire. With that firm refusal, my father turned and walked away..
“I will try to get permission from now on. That's what I was trying to tell you..”
My father just walked away without saying a word. The back was talking. No matter what you try, I won't let you.
I declared war on my father. From now on, I have to somehow convince my father. Perhaps it might be more difficult to get permission than to kill Yayulhan..
Anyway, looking at my father’s back walking towards Cheonmajeon, I felt like I was back in school again..
“ah! As expected, the house is nice.!”
I returned to my happy home where giant demon statues were swinging swords and swords everywhere..
