Chapter 11 – Laughter of Martial Arts
Seong-il nodded in agreement with the sex demon’s explanation.
“Certainly. If it was the magic that was the reason for the Great War of Jeongma, I would have known everything if I paid even a little attention to the case.”
“That’s right. Most of them will have background knowledge about blood history from 20 years ago, even if they were only a little active in Moorim.”
“In the meantime, when Young master-nim talked about the heavenly spirit and combined what I had said with the background knowledge I knew, the secret secrets of Murim, which had been dubious until now, were unraveled like a skein of thread. I was very surprised.”
The young schoolmaster, who was quietly listening to the conversation between Seongil and Saekma, asked.
“By the way, Young master. If he had such important information, why didn’t he consult Qingming Qin Ren..?”
‘I’ve come this far.’
After reviewing the story, Seong-il had already made up his mind to embrace the young schoolmaster before starting the game.
So Gyo-ju, who was the main villain from the beginning to the middle without any events, did not appear at all in the second half.
It was because the ability of the young master, which was written in the diary of the General Guard Act, which seemed to have been intentionally created by the production team for the sake of answering such users’ questions and probabilities in the second half of the game, was so attractive.
‘Originally, I was going to take over Handan as well…’
With his bitter heart behind, Seong-il unfolded the scenario he had prepared and began to answer.
“I already told Cheongmyungjin everything. And I have no memory of the past.”
Seong-il, who was so lucky, began to continue her words.
“It was four months ago that I came into contact with Qingming Jinin. Handan found me lying in the mountains near the Sudangpa, with all the energy and blood twisted in my body, and brought me to the Sudangpa.”
“The two masters treated me wholeheartedly, and thanks to them I was able to survive.”
“Not long after I woke up, I told Cheongmyeongjin that I had absolutely no idea who I was, where I came from, or how I came. All I remember was the dreams I told you of about the various mysteries of Murim.”
At Seong-il’s explanation that followed, the young schoolmaster and the maid held their breath and listened to Seong-il’s words.
“Hearing my words, Cheongmyungjin was skeptical, but he was very surprised and intrigued when he found out that I, who did not seem to be under contract, knew not only secrets that only a few people knew, but also things that no one knew.”
“And he asked me questions and answers, noting that I didn’t know any of the simple, simple common sense that anyone would know.
Those who remember only certain facts while forgetting common sense and other past memories, Cheongmyeongjinin called them ‘those who read and spread taboos’.”
“After my physical recuperation was over, I, who had no place to go, was accepted by Cheongmyungjin and became a disciple of the Sodang faction.”
“By the way, the age of 18 is not my actual age. No one knows exactly how old I am.
If you live as an invincible person, life in the world will be difficult.
It’s nothing more than fake information created by the people of Cheongmyungjin to establish my identity.
Also, to make it easier to treat Handan, who just turned 20, with the death penalty, he kissed Qing Myung Jin, two years younger.”
For reference, ‘a person who read and spread taboos’ is not a lie.
Well… It’s a lie to be exact, but it’s an adaptation of the actual setting that exists in this game.
As befits a classic game that was released 30 years ago, Illegal Martial Arts was a game in which illegal copying using CDs and floppy diskettes (!) Was rampant.
The creators locked the game in a very primitive way.
What? Such is the existence of a character called ‘The Secret Man’ that appears in the game.
The secret man appears at random points when moving the map three times in the beginning, middle, and second half of the game.
He lost his memory due to the violation of the taboo he read and distributed (it seemed that he spoiled the game story to other NPCs (…)), And is on a mission to find the ‘right gamer’ to pay for his crime. Say it was
After he asked the gamer for the password, if the gamer presented the password without making a mistake, he rewarded him three times.
Saekma, who listened to Seongil’s story with interest, asked a question.
“Then, why did Qing Myung Jin throw himself into a limb where he didn’t know he was going to die?”
So Seong-il began to recite the answer he had prepared.
“Because he didn’t want to hear about the future. To be precise, when we approached the middle and latter half of his memories, he refused to listen.”
“Why?”
The minor teacher asked.
“He said he didn’t want to violate the taboo of reading the heavenly qi as a Taoist Taoist who worships the flow of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and cause and effect.”
Despite Seong-il’s words, So Gyoju did not understand her expression, and Seong-il, seeing her expression, continued her words.
“That’s why I also invited Cheong Myung-jin to listen.
In this memory, a true man also appeared, at least partially, and there was a crisis situation, so it would be helpful to hear it.
But do you know what Jinin said?”
“…What is it?”
She asked, unable to curb her curiosity.
“They told me to let it flow as it is. Cheongi, furthermore, that’s what life is like.
Everyone is bound to die, and that is the true order of nature.
“So I respected Qingmingjin’s opinion and tried to let it go as it should. Even though it was a short answer, I felt his words were so sensible and wise…”
Seong-il, who had finished her words, continued her words while glancing at the expressions of the seductress and the young teacher.
‘Oh. It seems to work quite well?’
Seong-il, who gained her courage, solved the scenario she had been thinking about.
“I went to the Temple of Laughter as it was, and tried to accept the flow of cause and effect as it is.
But something unexpected happened.”
“What is that…? Young master?”
Xiao Gyoju asked a question with an expression absorbed in her Seongil’s words.
“Handan was not a person who would drink alcohol or be poisoned. And he was not a person who would die…”
“Originally, if Handan stole poisoned alcohol and offered it to me, I should have drunk it and died of poisoning.
But I was afraid of my life, and I refused to drink.”
“Of course, instead, I really did my best to stop Handan from drinking. It saved my life, and it was the path that went smoothly.”
“By the way… I didn’t drink, and Handan sipped alcohol despite my disapproval. From there, everything went awry.”
“In the future I saw, Handan, who never drank alcohol, felt guilty at the sight of his master and priest dying from poison after drinking alcohol, and devoted himself to martial arts to ruin his blood and soul… It was twisted from the beginning.”
“So when Handan drank instead of me and died trying to stop the Demonic Cult, I made a promise.
Now that I’ve been twisted like this, I’m incompetent, but in order to inherit their will, I’ll commit a taboo that twists the spirit of heaven to stop the ambitions of blood ties and the Law of Total Protection.”
Seong-il looked at the young schoolmaster quietly and continued with a stern expression.
“Because I was in an urgent situation where my life was on the edge of a cliff, my brain turned very fast in that short time.”
“In a short time I came up with a ploy.
To turn the twisted celestial spirit in my favor.
A person who had great talent, but was going to be sacrificed and defeated by the General Protection Act.
In other words, the young master decided to capture you as a demon.
And that’s what really made me succeed and come this far.”
Seong-il’s words seemed to come as a huge shock, and the young schoolmaster and the maid stayed in uncomfortable silence for a long time.
How long has it been? After a long time had passed, the young teacher, who seemed to have somewhat dissipated the shock, asked Seong-il a question.
“Young master, now I understand the circumstances before and after.
But, what the hell is that Demon God’s curse, and how does he exert such vile power…?”
Seong-il, who was hot, hurriedly started making excuses.
“You can never reveal that!
For some reason I can feel the details of the thing.
No one has ever taught me!
It was ‘understood’ as if it was mine from the beginning.
I also knew that the item was a gift given to me by an unknown ancient demon.”
“Perhaps the demon god enjoys my violation of the taboo, and thinks it is a kind of reward and gift to me.”
“What is certain is that you should never go into detail about it or explain it to others.
I don’t know why…
In my opinion, if many people learn the secret of the Demon God and it spreads, new terrible problems will arise in the world.
However, I just told you that you are the party involved with this orb.
Of course, given the circumstances, I never imagined that he would have heard this.”
Then, the saekma nodded his head as if he sympathized with me, agreeing with my opinion.
“That’s right. It’s a fairly well-known fact that when divine beings, whether originally good or evil, dwell in the hearts of our sentient beings, they can intervene little by little in this world.
In fact, the Blood God of Blood Religion is an example of that.”
“If more people come to know the unknown demon, followers will appear, and if the followers increase little by little, someday, someday, they will become a force and establish the second and third blood bridges.”
“As Young master said, I think it would be good for the world if only we knew about it and buried it.”
After Saekma explained that, Xiao Gyoju nodded his head as if he agreed.
“Then the past can’t be helped, and what do you plan to do in the future?”
“First of all, you have to be strong. And to protect you, Eunwol, so that the General Protection Law does not become stronger.”
Eun-wol, whose face turned slightly red at my words, spoke.
“Huh.. Heh heh. I’m pretty strong and talented. I’ll protect my body from the blood god.”
‘It’s an expression that doesn’t hate it at all while saying that. He’s really easy to read.’
Then, like a ghost, the color horse with an expression that seemed to have read my thoughts spoke quietly.
“..It’s just that it was difficult for me to notice because the young master usually wore a mask.”
Seong-il said, stunned by his excuse.
“What nonsense… More than that, the young schoolmaster.
What do you think of the martial arts secret pay I gave you earlier?”
In response to his Seongil’s question, the Sogyoju looked at the secret level for a while and said.
“It seems like a very good and deep martial art, Master Young master.”
“Oh! Then, if I learn that martial art, can I become a master too?”
At Seongil’s words, the young master replied with a smile.
“Of course! If you’re at this level of beginners, even if you can’t do it for 20 years.. No, if you have talent, you can become a master in 10 years of training!”
“What..?! How many years?!”
Then, with an expression as if something was wrong, the head teacher said to Seong-il.
“Mustang, of course, must be accompanied by that level of training to be effective, right?
In addition, it is common knowledge that the martial arts of the Taoism handed down by Young master honor the cycle of nature and are created based on that ideology.
At her words, Seong-il fell into despair and despair.
‘Crazy… If you look at martial arts and martial arts games, you get a chance and practice a little bit, and your martial skills increase quickly..
10 to 20 years? I can’t do that!!’
Seeing Seongil’s sullen expression, Saekma told him if he felt sorry for him.
“Seeing that Taeyang’s blood didn’t bulge out, it seems he hasn’t mastered martial arts…
Still, Young master had a past enough to read the heavenly qi, so perhaps he wasn’t born with the heavenly qi?”
“!”
Seong-il, who was sober at those words, asked him.
“Ho… Is there any way to check that?”
Seongil’s question was intercepted by the young teacher and answered.
“It’s easy. You just need to look at the muscle veins while pointing to the pulse.”
Satisfied with her words, Seong-il immediately asked him to look at his talent.
“…”
“How is it?”
“Uh… Well…”
Seong-il, who felt uneasy about her unreasonable reaction, scolded the young schoolmaster.
“Why? What is it? Tell me quickly.”
Then, the young master said, avoiding Seongil’s eyes.
“Jae.. You don’t have any talent. Aside from not having it, it seems like you’re almost at the level of a piece of wood..”
At her words, Seong-il asked with an expression as if he had lost his country.
“Are you sure you misidentified? You really don’t have talent?!”
“…”
In response to her question about Seong-il, So Gyo-ju turned her head away to avoid looking at her, then answered with silence.
“Hmm! Shall I check it out too?”
At Saekma’s words, Seongil gave him a wrist and said,
“Check it out! Now!”
Saekma looked at Seongil’s veins with a serious expression, and at times evaluated his qualities by stroking his muscles and bones.
“You don’t have any talent. It’s not that you don’t have any, but that your muscles and bones aren’t suited to martial arts at all.”
“…”
When Seong-il was shocked by their stern reply and lost his spirit, the head teacher comforted him.
“Still, if you continue to practice Taegeuksimbeop and Taegeukgeomgyeol of the Sodang faction, after about 20 years, you will be able to hear the sound of a normal martial artist.”
‘Is this woman fucking me right now?’
Seong-il unknowingly glared at the young schoolmaster with an annoyed expression.
So Gyoju suddenly remembered the fact that Seong-il had tortured her mercilessly prior to intercourse.
‘Hee!’
So Gyoju quickly turned his head away, avoided his gaze, and feigned composure by humming his song.
“Huh.. Heh-heung~ heh-heh-heung”
‘Sipeul.. Is my grand ambition to learn martial arts and take revenge on Go Yeong-tae going through the water like this…’
While Seong-il was in shock and despair and contemplating whether or not to leave the martial arts battle with laughter, Saekma said.
“That… It’s not that there isn’t a way.”
Seongil was taken aback by his words and looked at him.
“That… What is that method?!”
Looking at Seong-il asking questions while using honorifics without realizing it, Saekma grinned and said,
“You just need to learn the color ball!”
