Chapter 269
Episode 269 I saw your father again.
Jump and run.
The place where the hat-wearing man arrived with a steady sound of footsteps was a small workshop..
The man took off his hat and threw it against the wall..
The hat hung lightly on Hwang’s jangsam hanging on the wall..
The man was middle-aged with long, narrow eyes. The eyes that revealed a mysterious energy withstood all kinds of conspiratorial tricks, and the dark look on his face gave the impression that he had been through many ups and downs..
The man sat down on a small chair and started making a wooden doll..
square, square.
In the small space, the only sound was the sound of a carving knife cutting wood. The man carved the wood with unusual dexterity, creating a finger-sized wooden doll..
At that time, a young man entered there silently. He was a handsome man with a lively look and a cool look in his eyes..
He approached the back of a middle-aged man who was cutting wood. His walking style was unusual; he drew his sword and walked without making any sound..
Easy profit.
The young man's drawn sword touched the side of the middle-aged man's neck..
There was no crunching sound. It wasn't because of the sword pointed at my neck. The small carving knife in the middle-aged man's hand was suddenly floating before the eyes of the young man wielding the sword..
The young man put away his sword and grabbed the carving knife in the air with his hand..
But the carving knife did not move, as if it was being held by something invisible..
The young man tried to use all his strength to move, but it was impossible. Eventually, when the young man gave up on moving the carving knife, the middle-aged man said:.
“Masters are not affected by attacks coming from behind. That's why it's called a cilantro. When killing a master, you must look him in the eye..”
The young man asked.
“Isn't that harder??”
“It's easier that way. Only when you realize that can you become a true expert who can kill experts..”
Crunchy.
The sound of a carving knife carving wood was heard again. Before I knew it, the carving knife that was floating in the air was in the hand of a middle-aged man. It was so natural that it felt as if the carving knife had never left the middle-aged man's hand in the first place..
“I will keep this in mind, Master..”
The young man bowed his head respectfully..
The two were close friends.
Outside the window, I could see warriors standing around the workshop. The word engraved on their chests, like the one engraved on the young man's chest, was 'Death Demon'..
These were the warriors of the Murim Alliance's elite, the Destruction Demon Army..
The young man was Jin Ha-gun (秦夏君), the grandson of the current Murim lord and the Great Lord of Destruction. This young man was Jin Ha-ryeong's older brother, who had a connection with sword dance. After entering the Demon Demon Demon, he rose to the position of Demon Demon Demon Lord solely based on his skills..
The middle-aged man was his master, Baek Cheon-gyeong..
“You haven't been neglecting your training these days..”
Jin Ha-gun has not yet received the martial skills of his grandfather and Murim lord Jin Pae-cheon. My grandfather hoped that he would proudly become his successor with his skills..
He officially declared that he would not give any special treatment to his grandson..
“I am practicing by reducing my sleep..”
Jinha walked to the decoration placed in the center of the workshop. On the decoration stand, unmanned dolls hand-carved by Baek Cheon-gyeong were shown fighting..
The sight was so vivid that it looked as if a real fight was taking place. A fight between a warrior in white and a warrior in black. It looked like it was depicting a fight between black and white..
Jinha looked down at it and said.
“The rumors coming from the Demonic Church recently are unusual..”
Baek Cheon-gyeong remained silent and focused on sculpture..
“It is said that Geommugeuk, the new leader of Sogyo, is growing in power by taking control of all of Mazon..”
Baek Cheon-gyeong seemed not to care about those words, and turned the wooden doll he was carving around to see if it was cut well..
“To be honest, I'm worried about him..”
Then Baek Cheon-gyeong’s hand movements stopped. He got up and walked over to his disciple at the stand..
“What does this fight look like here??”
“Soldiers wearing white clothes look at a disadvantage..”
“There are more white warriors. Why do you think that is so??”
“Because of interest.”
Jinha led the fight and pointed his finger at the black warrior wielding a sword..
“I enjoyed it. Because of interest. He is in control of the game and leading the fight..”
Baek Cheon-gyeong lowered his body and looked at the wooden doll with small, long eyes..
“Do you want to play this role??”
“Yes, I want to be in that position. No, it will definitely stand..”
“Yes, you have been like that since you were young. Always unafraid to take on a challenge and never give up.”
Jin Ha-kyung's heart swelled every time her master gave her this kind of praise. So I trained harder in everything and tried to never give up. After his parents passed away at an early age, he lived thinking of Baek Cheon-gyeong as his father..
“The person standing here right now is a sword dance..”
Jinha was unable to refute. Because I knew that Geommugeuk ascended to the position of Sogyoju the most spectacular of all successors..
On the other hand, what about yourself? He has not yet been officially appointed as successor..
Baek Cheon-gyeong slowly touched the doll with his fingers..
“How are you going to break this momentum??”
Jinha answered as if he had been waiting..
“I heard a report that Geommugeuk is currently in the Honam region. It is said that they are putting pressure on Cheonhwamun by detaining the child of the master of Cheonhwamun there..”
He was paying attention to the movements of the sword dance he considered his rival in his mind..
“Cheonhwamun is a sect with tremendous power, but it is impossible to deal with the Demonic Cult alone. If you can save them from the clutches of the devil…….”
Baek Cheon-gyeong’s eyes turned to the hero doll..
“You will be able to lead the fight ahead..”
Jinha asked cautiously..
“But wasn't the Cheonhwamun originally a sect that went back and forth between the Demonic Cult and the Apostolic Alliance??”
Cheonhwamun, known to the outside world, was involved in exchanges with the Demonic Cult, the Sado League, and the Murim League..
Then Baek Cheon-gyeong’s eyes turned to the doll again..
“Can you stand in that position by doing something easy??”
Jinha is a confident person in everything, but he couldn't shout out loud in this matter..
“In my heart, I want to lead the Destroying Demon Army to attack the Honam region and rescue the son of Lord Cheonhwamun.…….”
If that happens, a war with the Demon Cult will break out. Let alone a hero, you could become a mortal sinner..
Jinha thought for a moment and spoke carefully..
“When dealing with the Demonic Cult, the Demon Lord of Destruction has unique powers that can be used during his term. If the Lord accepts my special authority, I can put pressure on the Demonic Cult in the name of the Murim Alliance. However, I don't know if Cheonhwamun is a school worth paying for..”
“Cheonhwamun is a large sect in itself, but there are dozens of small and medium-sized sects that follow it. If Cheonhwamun is restored to the right faction, there will be no greater achievement than this..”
“I know that Lord Cheonhwamun is not an easy person. Not only has he been very good at walking the tightrope between the Jeongsama, but he may later collude with the Apostolic Alliance and turn a blind eye to our help..”
Jinha thought that Cheonhwamunju, who had his feet all over the place, was like a fox..
At that time, an amazing word came out of Baek Cheon-gyeong’s mouth..
“I'll take care of that..”
Jinha was surprised. Although he was a master who was well-versed in Kangho politics, he never directly took part in martial arts affairs. And the reason was something Jinha would be impressed by..
“If you accomplish this task, you will make a decisive contribution to becoming the successor to the Murim Alliance. That's why I step up.”
Jin Ha-gun politely waved his hand and showed courtesy..
“Thank you so much, Master..”
Now that Master had stepped forward like this, there was no reason to hesitate anymore..
“Then I'll get to work right away..”
Jinha, who was about to say hello and leave, tapped the hero doll with his finger and made it lie down..
After Jin Ha left, Baek Cheon-gyeong continued carving the doll..
Crunchy.
How much did you carve the doll??
Baek Cheon-gyeong came to the decoration table and raised the fallen doll..
Then, the newly carved doll was placed in the center of the board. The doll, who couldn't tell if it was him or Jinha, had his arms crossed haughtily..
* * *
A few days have passed since Cheonhwamunju Seo Baekjung visited..
He did nothing to save his son. It certainly didn't seem like I was going to give up on my son like this. In Geommugeuk, I quietly waited to see what my opponent would do and practiced my secret techniques..
The more I practiced Sicheon Secret Art, the more I began to see a slight time difference. The moment you see a time advantage by comparing the difference between the recovery time of internal energy and the time gained by performing the Sicheon Secret Technique, training will unconditionally be performed using the Sicheon Secret Technique. It wasn't easy as it was a secret art that defies time, but I practiced it again and again..
After completing the Sicheon Secret Art training, I was drinking tea in the main hall for a while when Jeok-yeon entered, bringing Seo-cheong with me. He asked me to bring him because he wanted to meet me..
As soon as he entered, Seo Cheong shouted in protest..
“Why don't you contact your father??”
He was locked in Zidane's prison. Although I was imprisoned, I was not at all discouraged..
“contacted.”
“Don't lie. If I'd contacted you, there's no way he wouldn't have come yet. Master Su, my father is not such a tight-lipped person. If you talk honestly, you will be able to get what you want..”
This was the conclusion he came to while imprisoned in prison. The reason the Demonic Cult is doing this is to attract Cheonhwamun to their side. Otherwise, there was no way I would have locked myself up like this. There's no way you could imprison the heir of Cheonhwamun just by killing a few passers-by, low-ranking warriors, and other insignificant things, right??
“your father has already gone.”
Seo Cheong was surprised by Geommugeuk’s words..
“What do you mean? It's true that he went there but left without meeting me.?”
When Geomugeuk nodded, Seo Cheong was surprised and embarrassed..
“nonsense!”
He stood there blankly for a moment and started rambling back and forth..
“If you're going to do this, do it right. If you are a religious leader, please contact my father as promised, like a small religious leader..”
He walked over to the table and tried to pour some tea with trembling hands. But he felt his hands shaking and turned around again..
I didn't believe that my father had visited, but then I believed it again..
“Anyway, you are in big trouble now. The fact that my father just left without even meeting me means he was really angry..”
At that time, Geomugeuk suddenly asked:.
“How much do you know about your father?”
For a moment, Seo Qing flinched..
“Lord So, how much do you know??”
Geommugeuk thought that his appearance was no different from his appearance before his return..
If he had experienced something like this at the time, he would have questioned it and listened to it like this. You would have been even harsher, asking if you were showing off because you knew so well. The fact that he had so little to answer for about his father must have driven him that way..
It was right then. Zidane's subordinate came and delivered an urgent message from Tongcheongak..
I thought it was a communication about who the head of the Honam region was, but there was something written that I really didn't expect. It was a message to release Seocheong..
Geommugeuk was surprised because he didn't expect such a war message to arrive. The fact that this decision was made at Tongcheongak means that there was also father's permission. This meant that enormous power was involved..
And it must have been my father's will that I did not write down the detailed circumstances and send it to him..
Now, how are you going to handle this??
Even after he became the head of the small church, his father's tests continued..
“Let us free Confucius.”
Jeok-yeon was also surprised when he was told to release him. But soon Jeokyeon freed Seocheong's inner strength..
Seo Cheong shouted loudly with a happy face as if he was about to fly away..
“What did I say? I didn't say it would be like this?”
He walked to the table with great strides, poured some tea, and drank it..
“Let's have a drink together.?”
Seo Cheong chuckled and drank tea. As if at some point, he regained his true nature..
He glared at the enemy and spoke threateningly..
“I remember every single face I saw here..”
As Jeok-yeon glared at him more frighteningly with his poisonous eyes, Seo-cheong turned his gaze to Geommugeuk..
Geommugeuk was smiling at him..
“Why are you laughing??”
“Because it's fun. I've been feeling relaxed until now. It won't be over if we catch Confucius, right? Confucius Yang, Confucius Jin, Confucius Chen... … Even if all kinds of Confucius pluck or pluck it, it will continue to grow. But you moved the main school? It's a matter that I, as the head of the small church, am handling, but I've let it go.?”
The sword dance was truly happy..
“This is several times more incredible than invading this place and rescuing you. I saw your father again..”
“Do you know that now? I am the successor of Cheonhwamun.!”
He strode out and shouted loudly..
“I'll never see you again.”
“I'll see you again soon.”
As Seo-cheong ran away without looking back, Jeok-yeon asked:.
“what happened?”
“It seems that Cheonhwamunju moved the Murim Alliance or the Sado Alliance..”
Otherwise, there would be no way in Cheonmajeon to make this decision..
“What are you planning to do??”
“Since the main school’s Tongcheongak was blocked, I have to use mine..”
Jeokyeon felt that Geommugeuk was rather excited. That excitement was the joy felt when meeting a strong enemy..
In this situation, the escort himself must be extremely rational. But then he realized that he was equally excited. I was secretly looking forward to what would happen next. As an escort, you have to hope that nothing happens..
While Jeokyeon sighed lightly, Geommugeuk walked outside..
“Where are you going? I will take care of you.”
“I can't accommodate you. I'm waiting.”
“can follow…….”
There wasn't. The moment the sword dance kicked the ground and launched itself, it instantly turned into a dot and disappeared..
“……I guess not. I'll be waiting.”
Samho, who was in the yard at that time, said to Jeokyeon:.
“It's not easy?”
Jeokyeon rubbed his painful eyes and nodded. Indeed, Geommugeuk was the easiest and most difficult to protect at the same time..
Jeokyeon looked up at the sky where the sword dance had disappeared and spoke softly..
“Instead, the enemies won't be easy either..”
