Chapter 521 – Laughter of Martial Arts
Then, an intense stimulation hitting the head. Seong-il feels that if he uses an item he has, he can face a hidden miracle.
“Item…!!”
“Hmm? What makes you feel?”
When Seong-il makes an expression that he has realized something, Eun-wol approaches him with a curious expression.
“Yeah. I guess I can get a chance by using things I got from other worlds.”
“Wow!! Really?! Take it out and try it!!”
“…Previously.”
Perhaps because of the worshipers, Seongil was reluctant to open the inventory here, as the shrine was located in a well-visible space halfway up the mountain.
“Come out! Edward!”
Seong-il summons Edward, who had been waiting in the inventory for a while.
“Did you call?”
“How’s the inside of the inventory? How does it feel?”
『Umm… I was only conscious until right before I was put into that ‘space’ at the end. In fact, I haven’t felt any time flow since then. I think it’s probably stopped.”
“Ho… I mean.”
Apparently, Edward was not a living being, so he was treated as an ‘item’ and was able to enter the inventory.
Because of this, Seong-il was curious about what would happen if the intelligent person entered the inventory, so he put him in the inventory.
‘Anyway, the inventory is like a stationary space-time, right? It’s fun…’
Seong-il becomes intrigued as he peeks at the secret fragment of the inventory.
“Anyway… That’s not the point… I need to use my psychic powers, so please use the wide-area concealment field.”
When Seongil’s order is given, Edward uses a concealment field in a 5m radius to hide Seongil instead of answering.
“Whoa… What should I take out…”
Seong-il ponders for a moment which item to take out first. Seeing that, Eun-wol seems dumbfounded and replies to him.
“What are you thinking about? You can just take them all out and check them one by one.”
“…That’s right.”
Seong-il nodded his head in agreement with Eun-wol’s words, then opened his inventory and took out items of little value.
“Hehe… Now that I’ve seen it quite a bit, it’s still amazing.”
When Seong-il opens a strange crack in the air and takes out all kinds of items, Eun-wol is interested.
Whether she does it or not, Seong-il begins to float her precious items in front of her eyes.
Book of Wonders, Ethereal Stones of Matter and Spirit, Elixir, Spirit Mask, Devil’s Tooth, and more. Seong-il, who arranged items that he usually loves. However, even though she arranges all the items and writes emotions, she doesn’t come to him any sense.
“Oh no… Isn’t this…”
I put the items out again, and now I’m starting to line up items I’ve drawn from the lottery or rarely used.
Seong-il brought out all the mischievous dice of the god, bad luck amulets, as well as seemingly unrelated jewelry bags and the delicious series.
“Hmm…?”
That moment when she had been putting things out for a while. Seong-il feels an intense sensation in an unfamiliar mirror.
“This…”
『Mirror of Destiny (Cooldown 180 days): When you arrive at a specific game location, the mirror transcends time and space, allowing you to leave for the past. In that place, you can meet someone who has a deep connection with you.”
* It is impossible to use the mirror arbitrarily. (That’s sad!)
The appearance of an item that had been forgotten for a while due to its lack of practicality. Seong-il recalls that this mirror is the clearing reward he got from clearing Mythology Academy.
“Yeah… There was this…”
As he examines the items, Seong-il feels a sense of comprehension.
“Can I approach the Cheonjon statue with this…?”
Having found the key item, Seong-il puts all miscellaneous items in his inventory and approaches the Cheonjon statue with a mirror.
“Okay…”
However, the reflection in the mirror was unresponsive. Seong-il feels a bit frustrated and begins to calmly walk around her.
“What else do I need to do…”
Seong-il grumbles and looks at the mirrors all over the shrine. Then Seong-il approaches the mural painted at the back gate of the shrine.
A small hermitage built on a mountain peak, a pond, and a tosa taking a nap under a peach tree. Seong-il holds a mirror at the seemingly insignificant painting with an expressionless expression.
Wooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Then, an intense wave spread from the mirror. Seong-il, as well as Eun-wol and Edward, are surprised by the reaction and look in the mirror.
“What is that…”
Eunwol’s voice from behind. However, for some reason, the afterwords start to stretch like a buffered video.
‘Did you stop…?’
For some reason, time and space stopped completely. Seong-il was surprised to see Eun-wol opening her mouth while looking at him. An intense light hits Seong-Il, and Seong-Il loses consciousness at the moment.
“Okay…”
How much time has passed Seong-il frowns at the pain she feels in her head and opens her eyes.
“…Hmm?”
Then, the strange scenery you see around you. Seong-il realizes that she has reached the middle of an unknown mountain.
“Where is this…?”
A view of a rocky mountain surrounded by thick clouds and mist. In the misty place, you can see a staircase carved out of rock.
“Eh… Eunwol?”
After taking a full look ahead, Seong-il turns around and tries to look at the rest of the area. Then, he sees a mirror floating in the air and a silver moon seen across it.
Perhaps she was startled, she stretched out her hand in the direction of the mirror and stopped with a startled, yelling expression on her face.
‘… Looks like time has stopped.’
Before she passed out, it seemed she was right. Seong-il cautiously approaches the mirror and uses the sensor.
“If you put your hand on the mirror, it looks like you can return. But…”
The mirror seems to be a kind of passage. But for some reason, when he goes back to the martial arts world through that mirror, he feels that he can’t come back here.
‘I came here to find a chance after hard work, but there is no need to go back scared.’
Thinking so, Seong-il leaves her mirror alone for a moment, and instinctively moves her steps to the top of the rocky mountain.
“Oh…”
Seong-il arrived at the top not long after running quickly to the top using light air. Then she sees a low pond and a small hermitage in his eyes.
“Hmm? What are you?”
“!!!”
A playful voice is heard next to me while I cautiously walk towards the hermitage. Seongil stops for a moment and turns his head to where the sound came from.
‘Taoist…?’
As Seongil thought, the expression ‘guru’ fits perfectly with the appearance of a handsome old man. He was clad in a blue robe engraved with clouds, and was wearing the Taoist’s unique conduit crookedly.
‘Something… Looks bad…’
A guru’s outfit that Seongil would think so. Obviously, he was dressed in a guru’s attire, but looking at the way he was dressed, he had a strong feeling that something was wrong.
“What are you?”
“!!!”
The time when Seong-il was looking at the master for a while and examining his appearance. The guru takes a step while looking at the holy day. Then, surprisingly, he appears in front of him, closing the distance of almost 40 meters at once.
“Uh… I…”
The moment Seong-il, surprised by such an amazing old man’s divine law, hesitated for a moment, the old man moved his hand like lightning and grabbed Seong-il’s wrist.
“What’s wrong? Cheonji Yin-Yang Kyojeopsongong? This is a German martial art that I created myself? What are you?”
“Uh… Well…”
“Surely, the Shin Gong only gave it to the child born to the woman he cherished the most?”
‘…Aren’t you a guru? But what kind of child?’
Seong-il realizes that he is the founder of the color ball he trains at the words of the guru in front of him, and at the same time he is convinced that the mirror has returned him to the past of the martial arts world.
However, apart from that, the absurd remarks made by the guru embarrass Seong-il.
“Huh? Don’t you answer? It’s just that true men don’t enjoy beating people. Once you beat them, they’ll beat you up. Do you want to hit them?”
“…”
A guru holding his palm in the air and glaring at Seongil, threatening him. In fact, Seong-il could feel the formidable strength in his palm through the reaction.
“Uh… I’m a follower of the master.”
“Huin…? Huuin…? Seen Jinin?”
“Yes…”
“What the hell are you talking about? Although the true god’s new skill is the best, there is no function that turns a child who has just turned 10 into an adult?”
Seong-il breaks into a cold sweat and explains his true identity to the master glaring at him with a bewildered expression.
“The point is… You’re the 21st generation of true men, right?”
“Yes. After being taught the new art by a former man in his twenties and becoming an official former man, I came to burn incense sticks at the Onmyang Hall shrine as the investigator said…”
Seong-il begins to honestly tell how he came to this place. He even said that he had been using some kind of mirror.
“Is it a divine object that connects the past?! I’m curious!! Let’s go together!!”
“Ah yes…”
When the guru is excited by his words, Seong-il quietly nods his head and moves to the place where he was summoned.
“Here you go.”
“Huh? What mirror? Where?”
“…Can’t you see this?”
He can clearly see the portal created by the mirror in front of his eyes, but for some reason the guru does not recognize the portal.
“Can’t you see?”
“That… I’m not lying, really…”
“Believe.”
“Yes?”
Surprisingly, when the master replies that he will believe it, Seong-il looks at him in bewilderment.
“It could be. It’s a divine artifact that connects reality and the past. If I don’t have a relationship, I might not be able to see it.”
“Ah…Yes…”
“Then let’s go again!”
“…?”
The guru’s words and actions are incomprehensible to the present. Seong-il looks confused and chases after him with the mirror behind him.
“Uh… Aren’t you curious why I have such a god, and whether I’m the real successor?”
“Yeah. Why did I have to wonder?”
“Yeah…”
Numerous stories running through Seongil’s head. While he is preparing an answer, Nodosa answers with a smirk.
“Actually, the real person who saw this had been reading fortune telling for good luck and happiness, and he knew that a precious guest who had been foretold by Heaven was coming today.”
“…”
“If it is the hand that ‘Heaven’ has foretold, it would not be strange to come here with an unusual gift!”
The answer of the carefree guru. Seong-il, dumbfounded for a moment, defiantly asks, without realizing it.
“…I may not be that guest.”
“Ha! That’s really nonsense! This is a place where the real people who saw it hid it with the magic method, so criminals can never enter here!”
“…A precedent?”
When the name “Seonsul” Appears out of nowhere in a martial arts game, Seong-il asks a question with a really surprised look at a word he has never seen in the game.
“Yes. This true man accidentally realized the true path through Yin-Yang (陰陽) and devoted himself to training. Based on that, he read the heavenly qi and read the truth to hone his skills!”
“By the way, what is Shinseon? Yes! Fable deungseon! Shouldn’t that be?”
Seong-il squeezes all the martial arts knowledge in his head and asks the guru in front of him a question. Nodosa answered him with a smirk, as if it was fun to see him.
“That’s right! The true person who saw this is a person who should have been right away and fused with the Heavenly Way! In fact, even today, the true person who has seen it can become a good person~ That’s what I mean.”
“…But why didn’t you do it?”
“Maybe it’s not to meet you?”
At Nodosa’s playful words, Seong-il finds it difficult to figure out whether he is telling the truth or playing a joke.
As if the figure is interesting, the guru continues his conversation with his typical mischievous smile.
“Actually, this Jinn learned the true path of the long sword through arduous training for the past 100 years!”
“…”
“Therefore, realizing that it was time to finish training, this true man drew all of his life span and cast a fortune-telling a year ago~ I mean!!”
“…A fortune telling? And why did you drag out all your life spans?”
Seong-il asks with a confused look at Nodosa’s words that if you hit the fortuneteller, you hit it, but you didn’t dare to use it until the end of your life.
“Because there could be a problem with the mindset caused by worldly events while climbing the ranks! Also, once you reach the top rank, your life as a human being will come to an end, so what is the lifespan of your body important? A life that will crumble anyway! The poor!!”
‘What is he saying now…’
Seong-il feels that the more he talks with the guru, the more confused he gets. To such Seong-il, the guru begins to calmly tell his story.
“You don’t seem to understand? Please explain in more detail!! “
“…It seems that you lived a lot of dissolutely?”
“Chuckling!! Do you know me well?”
Seong-il looks at him with a bewildered expression at the sight of him who is proud of having so many intrigues with women on the subject of a guru.
“Kkeuu~ Originally, I cut causation properly or tied a knot and played fortune-telling, but alas! The fortune-telling didn’t tell me about the knot I asked for!! Didn’t I tell you that a noble person would come to me on my last day?”
“!!!”
“And! How can you not be curious when he even tells you that the nobleman will have an unprecedented impact on the human world?”
After saying that, the guru looked at Seongil with a really interested expression on his face.
