Chapter 61 – Laughter of Martial Arts
“You did well. It seems like your young friend hasn’t studied martial arts properly yet, so you must have had a lot of trouble.”
“No. I just did what I had to do.”
At Seongil’s words, Maengju smiled and said to Hyemyeong.
“Could you move away for a moment? After I finish talking with this friend for a while, I’ll talk to you separately.”
“Ah! Yes, I will. Lord Lord.”
Huimyeong quietly bowed her head and went out to visit her.
“By the way, I did something important for Meng, so I have to give him a reward.
“That… It’s not like I was expecting a reward…”
To Seongil’s words, the Lord shook his head and replied.
“That shouldn’t be the case. Even if you didn’t care about the reward and worked only for the cause, if you don’t pay a reasonable reward, the prestige of our alliance will be eroded.”
“How nice it would be if all warriors were narrow-minded like you?
“In addition, if we don’t reward a person who has made a big contribution like you, the small people will curse us and cut down our ranks.”
“Even if it’s your will not to receive compensation. Depending on your point of view, you could be misunderstood that we took things from you by force.”
“Therefore, I’ll ask again. Or, do you want something? If it’s not an unreasonable demand, I’m willing to listen to anything in order to repay you for your achievements.”
The leader asks Seongil about the reward.
At his words, Seong-il was troubled.
‘Um… What should I ask for? Elixir? Martial arts? Or an excellent weapon?’
Seong-il pondered for a long time and couldn’t make a decision.
“Hehe… I guess you really didn’t think you should get anything.”
“Yeah… I just thought I should deliver the wooden box quickly.”
At his words, Maengju asked happily and said.
“Then, will the old lady choose for herself?”
“Yes? It would be an honor if you would!”
‘It was a headache not knowing what to get, but thank you for choosing a good one yourself.’
Looking at such a holy day, the head lord called him and said.
“Would you like to come to me first?”
“…?”
Seong-il went to the leader’s side naturally without knowing why. When he came to the side, Maengju silently grabbed Seongil’s wrist.
“Oh!”
Seong-il could not resist his hand movements like lightning. Seeing his pulse, Maengju asked Seongil with a strange look.
“Hmm.. Didn’t you say you’ve been initiating for about three months?”
“Yes? Yes…”
“Even though I don’t have the strength in my body for that kind of thing, it’s the level of strength I’ve trained for four to five years, right?”
“!!”
A leader who sharply points out loopholes in Seongil’s logic.
Seong-il couldn’t say anything about Saek-gong, so he didn’t say anything and just kept silent.
“Hmm… Besides, this is the first time I’ve seen my pure inner strength. It seems that the spirit of the Taoist school is correct, but… Are you really introductory for three months?”
Seong-il broke out in a cold sweat inside. He answered, making up his mind to go out shamelessly.
“I’m sorry, but my history has absolutely nothing to do with this bloodbath, and my master said that I should never talk about conjugation…”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t reveal the reason why my inner energy is higher than in training. However, I can say for sure. I definitely did not use evil magic (?) To build my inner energy.”
‘Even though my heart was slightly stabbed by the evil witchcraft (?)… Although there was some (?) Friction with my partner at first when training color ball…’
‘As a result, it was polished through a gentle (?) Mutual agreement (?), So it’s not a lie…’
The leader is embarrassed by Seongil’s shameless appearance. However, it was difficult to argue that it was the name of his old comrade Qingmyeong Jinin. Also, as Sung-il said, he couldn’t find any evil energy in his inner air, so he couldn’t pry at Seong-il.
“Hmm… Is it the vision of a priestess?”
“Even if a knife were to come to my throat, I would never tell you the secret.”
“Um… The secret…”
Thinking over the word secret that Seong-il had casually spat out, he nodded and replied.
“Okay. It’s the energy of chastity itself, and it could be the secret season of your monk, so it wouldn’t be reasonable for me to keep asking.”
“But I have one more question for you. Are there any other martial arts other than Shimbeop that Cheongmyeong studied?”
Seongil nodded and answered his question.
“I couldn’t learn it myself, but my master passed on the secret level of ‘Taegeukgeomgyeol’ along with Ham to me at the time of Bloodslaughter, so I am practicing that swordsmanship.”
“Hmm… Taegeukgeomgyeol is the name of the clearing, so it must be natural. What else?”
“Doesn’t exist…”
“Hmm…”
The leader caressing the beard on his chin, then stands up and wanders around the room, thinking about it. After snooping around in the room for a while and thinking about it, he suggested to Seong-il that they move to the gymnasium.
“I’ll be able to help you when I know your skills. Follow me for a while.”
“Yes? Yes…”
Seong-il followed his words without saying anything.
After walking along with him from the building, it was not long before a quiet, enclosed gymnasium appeared.
Maengju ordered an escort to guard the entrance, and after biting the people around him, he told Seongil.
“Did you say Taegeukgeomgyeol?
“Yes..? But our monk’s martial arts…”
Seong-il is embarrassed by the leader of the Moorim taboo. Seeing him like that, the lord said.
“I know. It’s definitely taboo.”
“But, I’ve been a close friend of Cheongmyeong since I was young. Since I’ve been back to back with him countless times and punished the villains, I’ve already seen his swordsmanship countless times.”
“So don’t worry and practice your sword skills. Now that your master is dead, I can say that I’m the only one who can see if you’re training in the right form.”
Seongil nodded at the words of such a leader and quietly took out a wooden sword.
“Wooden sword…?”
“Yes? Yes… I don’t have any weapons yet.”
“Puhaha! That’s a hit. When you leave the Maeng, I’ll give you a gift of my sword. Look forward to it.”
“Ah! Thank you for giving me a sword as a prize…”
“What are you talking about? You can’t slay a treasure like the seal of a blood god with just a single sword. Think of it as a gift from your teacher friend.”
“Ah! Yep.. Thank you.”
After saying that, Seong-il practiced the swordsmanship he had been training for more than 15 days.
“Whoa whoa… Uh… How is it?”
Seong-Il, who devoted all his energy to food, and the leader who looked at him silently.
“How long have you been training?”
“It was about three days after Master passed away. The situation was the situation, so I practiced when I had free time while moving.”
“Hoo…”
The leader exclaimed in admiration at such words of Seongil. Then he said to Seongil.
“It’s amazing. Even though he’s still clumsy, he’s been properly held. The sword is never easy…”
“Even though I trained alone, it was at that level? Although the movements were clumsy, miscellaneous movements were excluded as much as possible, so it felt like being taught by a teacher?”
Seong-il, who is unsatisfied with the sharp leader’s evaluation.
‘Such a punishment… Come to think of it, was it too much to say that I trained alone?’
Seong-il thought so and quickly started making excuses.
“It’s been less than a month since I learned it, but actually, before training, I watched my ambassador practice every day from the side… I think it’s similar to being taught for about three months.”
“Ah… I see. Somehow…”
The lord nodded while saying something as if he knew something. He pondered for a long time before finally getting lucky.
“In that case. I can’t say that your martial arts is very outstanding, but the foundation is well established. Practice your swordsmanship so that your master’s name is not dishonored by being diligent and honest.”
“All right!”
The leader smiles brightly as he sees Seongil answering vigorously. After laughing for a while, he spoke to him again.
“Looking at it.. The mental method and inner workings… Well… It’s so bizarre that I don’t need to mention it, and swordsmanship seems to be able to rise to a certain level if I keep working hard.”
“However, from what you say, it seems that you have never learned Shinbeop or Baktujutsu at all. Is that correct?”
Seongil nodded and replied to the words of the leader.
“Yes.. I didn’t have time, so I didn’t learn any martial arts.”
“Um… Then, shall I teach you one of the Shinbeop or Baktujutsu I made? Of course, both are difficult. I don’t have time to teach them.”
“Ah…”
At the words of the leader, Seongil pondered over and over again.
‘Hmm… First of all, being in a hurry seems like a new law. I think I’ll get stronger faster if I learn boxing techniques…’
‘New law? But is it really useful in real life? It’s enough to drive around… Isn’t it? Will it be useful on the run? It’s difficult…’
‘In the meantime, boxing techniques… It’s just a martial art if you put it in a modern way. Martial arts has weapons, so it’s meaningless… No! Ko Young -tae is a bastard !! ‘
Seong-il’s blood boils as he recalls a long-forgotten problem in reality. He was so angry that he could see the anger on his face even in the eyes of the Lord Lord.
“Hmm? Why but?”
‘Oops!’
Seong-il quickly started to make excuses when he couldn’t stand the anger of the moment and showed it.
“Ah.. I thought of martial arts, so I thought of the demons.”
“Lord Lord! Can you teach me the martial arts? I also covet the divine method, but from now on I want to become a boy who fights directly rather than run away!”
Seong-Il says in a grand way, ‘Let me get stronger quickly and beat Young-tae!’
As if his appearance was reflected as burning with vengeance against his master and the death penalty, the leader nodded his head and said.
“Heh heh.. That’s a great attitude. Then come tomorrow morning to this gymnasium every day. I’ll teach you martial arts myself for the next seven weeks and nights.”
“Thank you!!”
Satisfied with Seongil’s friendly attitude, Maengju nodded and handed him a book from his bosom.
“This?!”
“It’s an emergency. If you’re not busy today, read it beforehand and come.”
It is written as bankruptcy priesthood (破山神奉).
“It’s bankruptcy…”
Seongil grinned at the unexpected windfall and muttered involuntarily.
“Heh heh… That martial art is a German martial art I made myself out of my own mind, which I realized while defeating the bad guys when I was young.”
“Originally, it was just a nameless Bakutujutsu, but it was a name that was given to it by the middle class and was half-coercively given by the bigots who liked to talk about it.”
“Unlike other non-special martial arts that were handed down from the priesthood, the corresponding martial art was made by myself, so you can learn it without feeling any debt to me.”
‘Do not pay attention to this and learn?’
Seong-il understood his meaning and replied with a nod.
“Thank you!!”
After talking with the leader, Seong-il broke up with him and moved to the room following the guidance of the warriors in the alliance.
Fortunately, he was treated as a special guest, so he was assigned a separate private house. He looked around in response and secretly called Eunwol from his cheek.
“Hmm? Young master, how is this place…”
“Shh! Shh!!”
A holy day to warn people to be quiet by covering their mouths with their fingers. Surprised by his actions, Eunwol lowered her voice and said,
“…Why?”
Seong-il spoke into Eun-wol’s ear.
“Here is the inside of the Murim League.”
“…Are you crazy?”
“Ah.. I need some help. For now, I’ve looked around, so just keep your voice down and you’ll be fine.”
“…There must be surveillance.
“…”
Eun-wol quickly hides under the bed while watching the silent Seong-il. Then she gestured and sang the holy day.
“First of all, let’s get down as low as possible so that we can’t even see the shadow. Why did you call us?”
“Ah… For this.”
“…What is this?”
She questions Seong-il, who throws away a secret letter. To her, her holy day explained her conversation with her leader as briefly as possible.
“Ohhh… This is a German martial art created by Jeong-do, the number one martial artist, right?”
Eun-wol’s eyes light up when she sees the bankruptcy papers. She calmed her down and said her holy day.
“If you need it, I’ll give it to you later, so listen to me first.”
“What is it..?”
“I decided to start studying martial arts starting tomorrow based on the cost of sealing the blood god. They told me to study it in advance.. Could you explain and interpret it instead of me…?”
