Chapter 63
Episode 63: After giving well,.
The leader of Pungcheon came to visit me again..
He was waiting for me in the yard as if it were his first visit..
“Would you like to go in??”
“Nope. go my way.”
The surroundings became dark and then bright again..
The created space was a desolate wasteland. In my eyes, I saw a way to escape from this space. Because there was a bluish light on the rock in the distance..
“Isn't it bleak? This is my hometown.”
“It's nice because it's quiet. Please invite me anytime.”
“That's right.”
After looking at the surrounding scenery for a moment, the leader of Pungcheon spoke in a calm tone..
“I went back and thought about it, and you're right. I haven't done you any favors yet..”
He took something out of his pocket and showed it to me..
It was one volume.
Time-space anomaly).
“It's a feat that can create a space like this. In this martial arts world, only those who have mastered the orthodox magic arts of blood religion can perform martial arts..”
“!”
“Now that the Soul Mazon is dead, I guess I'm the only one who can properly perform this magic attack..”
Something really unexpected came out.
I personally did not like the magic of soul-making or witchcraft. But I think this martial arts skill is very attractive..
“In an emergency, this space will save your life. The moment you enter this space, you disappear from the original world..”
As he said, space-time transformation technology can be used for many purposes. It can be a private space, or it can be used at a critical moment or as an escape from a crisis. If that happens, you will be learning another Heavenly Demon Defense technique..
From the moment of obtaining the sound bell, the first material of the return method, to the blood stabilization water, to this space-time anomaly technique. I felt that I was destined to have a deep connection with the leader of Pungcheon Church..
“What is it like? Is this enough goodwill??”
“It's almost overflowing..”
I held out my hand without hesitation. But the leader of the Pungcheon Church did not hand over any money..
“If you expect something in return, it's not a favor.?”
When I expressed my regret, he responded.
“Wouldn’t it be a favor to play my card first??”
It was meant as a favor to present this excellent martial art without weighing this or that..
“What do you want??”
Then, the eyes of the Pungcheon religious leader turned again to the desolate land. The head of Pungcheon said as he watched the wind blowing sand up into the sky..
“I don't want to breathe this dust anymore.”
Those words meant only one thing. Indeed, his wish was to advance to the midfield as his father said..
“If you help me with that first step, the space-time anomaly is yours..”
I was excited for a moment, but I boldly folded my outstretched hand. The moment greed is revealed, any negotiation becomes disadvantageous..
“Unfortunately, that's not up to me to decide..”
“I know. It's up to the leader to decide..”
“This is an issue that not only fathers but also mazons should come forward..”
If it's about Pungcheongyo, the mazons will definitely come forward..
“That's why. That's why I'm giving you this stipend..”
“What do you want specifically??”
“Two days later, I have a meeting scheduled with the religious leader. I plan to negotiate on our school's advancement to the central league that day. At that time, you should come together and persuade the religious leader. If you promise to do so, I will give you this stipend..”
This means that non-payment will be given regardless of the outcome. It was truly an unprecedented condition. It was closer to a gift rather than a condition..
However, I did not react harshly and showed a thoughtful attitude..
“the method is wrong.”
“what do you mean?”
“No matter how much the leader and I persuade, my father will never allow the Pungcheon Church to advance into the central plains..”
“then what should i do?”
Pungcheongyo’s advance into the central region.
Unlike our school’s policy of never allowing it, I don’t think it’s a bad thing..
Unless you wanted to attack and eliminate Pungcheon Bridge, there was no need to have someone who could become an enemy at any time behind your back. Like the old advice to keep your enemies closer than your friends, I believe it is better to keep Pungcheon Bridge close and manage it..
i didn't say anything.
Then the leader of Pungcheon handed me the treasure he was holding..
“Can I get the answer with this??”
“It's enough.”
I accepted the non-pay..
I felt that the leader of Pungcheon was not usually a bold person. There was a clear difference between thanking me after hearing what it was about and giving it to me in advance..
‘This person came here with the intention of ingratiating me..’
Instead of urging me to answer, he explained the level. If he was going to pay me anyway, he would give it to me as pleasantly as possible. He knew how to make a deal..
“Of course, I was able to create this space so quickly because I practiced for a long time, but at first, I wouldn't be able to create it even if I memorized the spell all day. Even for someone with outstanding martial arts talent, it would take a few days at the earliest, or more than 10 days at the longest. For those with dull five senses, it may take several months, or they may not be able to create it even once in their lifetime..”
“How long did it take you to make it the first time??”
“It took three days.”
Three days means you have considerable talent..
“The time taken on the first attempt is important. The shorter the time, the shorter the time will be. Unlike other martial arts, everything in this space-time transformation technique depends entirely on the talent and understanding of martial arts of the person practicing the martial arts..”
How long will it take me? If you have a body with no body and the current level of martial arts,?
“How long can this space last??”
“It may vary depending on your internal strength, but if you overdo it when you have achieved greatness, it will be about half a century. Even as I am talking to you right now, my energy is rapidly depleting..”
“Can I also use this space permanently??”
The head of the Pungcheon Church chuckled at the word permanent. That empty smile contained the meaning of whether that was possible..
“If the amount of energy recovered here is greater than the amount maintained, wouldn't it be possible to leave the space permanently open??”
“It is truly the dream of those who have mastered space-time magic. Among the previous generations of blood cult leaders, no one has succeeded yet..”
“I mean it's possible..”
“If you have tremendous internal strength and are a martial arts genius gifted from heaven, it might be possible..”
That heaven-sent martial genius, I am Cheonmujiche..
How long will it take me to make my first one? Will we be able to maintain this space permanently someday??
“What if I only take care of this emergency and don’t teach you the proper way??”
“Then, of all the religious leaders in history, you will be the leader with the worst relationship with the main school or Palmazon. Oh, I won't be able to become a religious leader..”
The head of Pungcheon gave me a stipend..
“After learning it, get rid of it.”
Although he was trying hard to hide his regret, he was clearly regretting it..
“I will. Instead, please interpret the phrase just once..”
“ask for interpretation?”
“Isn't this a low-quality original??”
“Of course it is.”
“If you make a mistake by even one word while transcribing it, there will be a problem..”
“Are you really doubting me? That won't happen!”
“If the teacher interprets it, you will be able to understand the true meaning..”
At that moment, a look of disapproval flashed across the face of the Pungcheon cult leader. But soon he willingly accepted my request..
“good. I will interpret the verses for you, so listen carefully. It's a very difficult martial art, so you'll have to concentrate and listen carefully..”
I could tell from his attitude.
‘This person thinks I can't learn this martial art properly..’
That’s how difficult martial arts were..
However, while listening to the Pungcheon cult leader's explanation of the nine structures, I realized exactly the method of space-time anomaly. He will not be able to imagine how deeply I have understood this space-time anomaly in just one explanation..
That's how I learned the art of space-time transformation. It was also the moment when we became temporary allies..
“Now let me tell you the answer.”
“In order for Pungcheongyo to advance to the Central Plains,…….”
I looked at him and calmly added,.
“Intervene in Seo Hwan-jin's succession fight..”
* * *
“I'm so tired because what was mine was taken away..”
The Pungcheon religious leader who entered the residence sank in his seat. I was so mentally tired. Because I had to protect my nobility as a Pungcheon religious leader by giving something I didn't want to give..
Even though the shackled man came in, he did not say hello and was just staring blankly at the sound bell..
The leader of Pungcheon glanced at him..
“As you asked, I taught Master Lee the art of space-time transformation. I don't know if this is a good thing.”
The shackled man answered without turning around..
“Well done.”
The head of the Pungcheon Church was startled by the polite words. He usually starts off with swearing, but the day he starts politely like this is the day he is in a bad mood..
‘I have to be careful..’
On days like this, swear words would always burst out at the end. I am a human being too, so there are times when I want to kill someone with a single blow when I hear a barrage of insults..
That should never happen. I can't imagine myself without the shackled man. Using your brain is a role, but if the person you talk to every day disappears, you won't be able to bear the emptiness..
“Do you know what he proposed??”
I thought that of course I didn't know, but the words Geommugeuk said were reproduced from the shackled man's mouth..
“They probably told you to intervene in the Seo Hwan-jin succession battle..”
When I spoke as if I had been there, the leader of Pungcheon was surprised..
“How did you know?”
“That's the best way for now..”
“Did you know? What, I knew it. Holy shit! You know the method, so why did you waste time giving the space-time transformation technique to a scientist??”
The leader of Pungcheon remembered what Geommugeuk had said..
―It may be that the disciples of the dead Soul Mazon have inherited all of the Master's progress, but if not, they will definitely need the help of the sect leader. We must make as successors people who believe in the teacher and are willing to learn martial arts. If you can become the master of the next Seobhonmazon, you can say that you have taken the first step toward advancing into the Central Plains..
After hearing it, I thought it was plausible. Ah, I was amazed that there was a method like this..
But what if the shackled man also knew this??
“Why are you giving me such a wasteful stipend?!”
I acted brave only in front of a sword dance performance, but I thought I was going to die because it was a waste..
“say! Hurry up and say it!”
I went next to the shackled man and screamed..
Then the shackled man looked at the Pungcheon religious leader with an annoyed expression..
“what? If you look at it that way, what are you going to do? I am the leader of the cult, I am the leader of the cult. Do you want to die today??”
Even as he shouted loudly, the leader of Pungcheon mentally prepared himself. This is the moment when swearing will burst out..
But the shackled man was calm..
“We didn't buy it that way. Lee Gongja also did not sell that method..”
“what?”
“I'm glad the leader bought it..”
“any chance?”
“This is an opportunity to get Lee Gongja on the cult leader’s side. I don't know how many more purchases I'll have to make to become a solid ally..”
“Are you really sure that Lee Gongja is such a great person? Are you really sure that you will become the next Heavenly Demon?!”
“I don't know.”
“what?”
“How will you know what lies ahead??”
“What kind of irresponsible words are these??”
“What regret do you have for giving so well??”
“Because it’s a waste! I do that because it’s a waste.!”
To the shackled man, he throws away his dignity as a cult leader and reveals his true feelings. There were many times when I wanted to kill him, but it also meant that I confessed my inner feelings a lot..
“What should I do now??”
“Get to know the scientist. do as he says.”
“I have to do as you tell me. I don't know what kind of dark intentions Gongja Lee harbors.…….”
“stop now!”
In the end, just as the Pungcheon religious leader had worried, the shackled man exploded and curses burst out all at once..
“You pathetic bastard! If you join hands with someone who has great energy and even gives you gifts, you should think about riding on that momentum. Why are you doubting and fucking with me? If you keep thinking about other things like a fool, you will lose your mind. Do you know what the things that are killed in martial arts have in common? When it hurts, don’t use it, and when you don’t need to use it, use it! When you have to believe, you tell yourself not to believe, and when you have to doubt, you suddenly believe. That's why you lose. Don't you fold your fingers? Before I cut it off! Don't count today! Questions are over! Don't open your mouth unless you really want to kill me.!”
When the Pungcheon religious leader, who pouted his mouth, folded his fingers, a new space opened up..
The shackled man spoke politely as he looked at the green fields spread out in front of him and the clear sky without a single cloud..
“Teacher, what are you curious about? Just say the word.”
