Chapter 524 – Laughter of Martial Arts
“Then… Shall we talk about the last thing?”
Seong-il looks at the guru with a nervous expression when an important story related to reality seems to come out.
“…Actually, the last divination is very difficult to interpret even for a true person who has seen it.”
“Yes…?”
He looked at the master with a lot of tension and anticipation, but when he let out a dejected sound, Seong-il looked at the master with a puzzled expression.
Perhaps feeling that gaze, the guru replies by looking at him with a very sorry expression.
“Ahae, there are things you cannot understand when you go to other worlds. This true man cannot easily understand your world.”
“Ah…”
“I mean the situation where there are flying iron machines and buildings taller than the palace where the emperor resides.”
Perhaps because the civilizations were so different, the guru did not seem to easily understand the future even after seeing the fortune-telling. Seong-il is sorry for that, but he nods as if he understands.
“But!”
“…?”
“I think I can figure out one thing.”
“…Which?”
Disappointed for a moment, Seong-il looks at him with his eyes wide open as the guru seems to be trying to explain fortune-telling.
“It’s about not trusting or relying too much on someone you need help from.”
‘No way… What tricks are Ilax and the Ark up to?’
At the words of the guru, Seong-il makes a face as if he has caught on. He raises his head and opens his mouth to explain his thoughts.
“Actually I…”
“Shh!!”
“…To?”
Seong-il talks as if he is giving advice, but is embarrassed when the guru cuts off his words.
“Don’t give information to the real person who saw it! Then the heavenly spirit may be contaminated and the fortune telling may be corrupted! Don’t talk too directly! Most fortune telling or prophecies are not expressed in metaphors or metaphors for nothing!”
“Ah…”
“The more specific the prophecy is, the greater the causality is consumed and the possibility of being altered is greater. In severe cases, the fortune-telling is altered, and there are many cases where the fortune-telling is altered and has an adverse effect on the person who cast the fortune-telling or the person who heard it. Geez!”
‘Something like the self-fulfilling prophecy of Greek mythology. And to hear you talk about the law of causation… That’s interesting…’
Seong-il roughly realizes the meaning of the guru’s advice to him. Seong-il seems to have understood his words, but the master nodded his head and continued his words.
“Fortunately, you seem to have understood the language. Anyway! You shouldn’t rely too much on divination or be obsessed with it. Do you understand? It’s just a reference to this choice.”
“Yes. Investigator.”
“Okay… Anyway. This is what this true man wants to say. There must be someone around you who has reached out a hand, right?”
“…Yes.”
Although he tried to suppress his thoughts as much as possible, Seong-il naturally thought of the Ark’s Human Liberation Army and the Guardians of Reason.
‘…No, they’re the only ones who reached out to me. However, I only felt that Ilax was hiding something, and I clearly felt that they had no malice toward mankind, as well as sympathy and guilt… What is it?’
Seong-il looks at the guru with a frustrated expression. The guru smiles at him and replies.
“I know. You young bastard. What are you thinking?
“Which…?”
“If a good person does a good deed, is there any guarantee that the good deed will necessarily benefit the object?”
“…!!”
One realization ran through Seongil’s head. As he looks at the master with a surprised expression, the master nods his head as if reading his thoughts and replies.
“Even if the beings who help you have good intentions and try to help you and the human race, if the values are extremely different… Can that good intention really be called good intention?”
“…”
The guru’s advice to make your back hurt. As Seong-il froze and kept his mouth shut, the master sighed and continued.
“Because of this, the Jinn who saw it wants to tell you this.”
“…Which?”
Seong-il looked at the guru’s lips with a nervous expression and blurted out his words. Seeing that, the guru closed his eyes with a bitter expression and let go of his luck.
“…Even if it’s painful, you have to stand alone. And you will help along the way. For the suffering sentient beings.”
“…”
The guru’s advice not to place too much reliance on the forces of the Guardians of Reason, who are in effect alien rebels.
‘…I was a little embarrassed to receive their help, so I tried to be careful in advance, but…’
Hearing the guru’s words, Seong-il feels as if he has driven a wedge into his existing thoughts.
“Haa… However, there is no need to be hostile. If you get on the rope in moderation, it will definitely help you too.”
“Yes.”
In any case, since the guardians of reason are beings that can be called the only allies of mankind, Seong-il agrees with the guru’s words, not even intending to be hostile to them.
“Remember it.”
“…?”
“Fight alone is not necessarily victory.”
After saying that, the guru sighed heavily with an expression of great tiredness. No matter how hard it looks, a feeling of guilt creeps up deep in Seong-il’s heart as he looks at him.
“…Are you okay?”
“Are you okay?”
“…”
“The original Jinin I saw was planning to meet a nobleman with whom I had a relationship and leave after having fun.
“…”
Seong-il looks at him with a humble expression at the master’s words. Then the guru could read the deep pity and sympathy in his eyes.
“Ahaha. It will be difficult. It will be difficult.”
“…”
“But I can’t help it. You have no choice but to do it.”
“…”
The guru’s words made Sung-il’s heart ache. Seong-il feels his throat choke when he hears those words about his hardships.
“Ugh… I’m about to leave. Do you have any questions? I can’t tell you important things because my strength is almost exhausted, and I can only answer simple things. Ask me about the clogging of the training table or something like that.”
“Uh…”
In fact, he was supposed to be on top right now, but the guru is trying to save even a minute and a second to help him, perhaps because Seong-il felt so bad.
And Seong-il, who read his mind with emotion, desperately tries to get something more by rolling his head.
“Ah…!!”
Then a thought occurred to me. Seong-il quickly rummaged through his pockets and took out a jade tablet the size of his adult palm.
“That…”
A guru who seems to recognize the jade plaque Seong-il took out. He smiles as if he’s having fun and continues his words.
“It seems that it’s been almost hundreds of years since I took the top spot, but the jade plaque still survives and is handed down?”
“Yes? Yes… From what my master said, most of the successors treasured this jade plaque and passed it on to their descendants. Disguised as useless stones.”
“Crunch… If that remains, it means that the gift I prepared for the next generation of the true master is still there…”
“…What secrets do you have here? And how do you know if there are any presents left?”
As the guru seems to give him more rice cakes, Seong-il forgets his depression and looks at the guru with twinkling eyes. The figure must have been cute, but the guru answered with a giggling despite his weakening body.
“Oh! Look at how shameless this guy is. Indeed! You have to be that shameless to seduce a woman and mix her flesh.”
“…”
“It’s called egg yolk.”
“…Nanok?”
A word I’ve never heard before. When Seong-il looks puzzled, the guru smiles and explains the history of the jade plaque.
“Yes. It’s a jade with a true flame. Originally, just holding it warms the body of the culprit and hurts it… It’s an item that’s hard to look good at. For new practitioners like us, it actually speeds up training. It’s something to be grateful for.”
“Aha… Because of Sunyang’s delay…?”
“You know it well!! That’s right. Our martial art aims to create a pure pure sheep body through dual wielding, so a treasure with such a pure zeal attribute is helpful.”
“Aha…”
Since Seong-il already knew through Saekma that jade was a kind of training aid, Seong-il was not particularly impressed by the guru’s explanation.
“But, the real purpose is different!”
“…Yes?”
While thinking about what else to ask for a while, as another bomb seems to drop, Seong-il looks at the guru, feeling alert.
“Yes, you bastard! Otherwise, why did I give it to Huin to come to the shrine?”
“Uh…”
“This is really the last time, so open your ears and listen to it.”
Now, the appearance of a guru with even minute cracks in the body. He looks precarious like a broken porcelain doll.
“Didn’t you say you’ve been to my shrine?”
“Yes. Because we arrived here from there.”
“Then it went well. Noon. That is, when the sun rises in mid-sky. Bow with Nan-ok at a place 1 step away from the front of the statue of the Heavenly Buddha. The position of Nan-ok is important… You will understand that when you bow.”
“I bow…!!”
“Okay.”
The expression on the guru’s face convinced that another descendant would not have taken the ‘gift’ even after hundreds of years had passed.
“…You seem to be sure that no other successor took it. Why?”
“Ah, that? If you get a chance there, the energy of nanok will disappear.”
“!!!!”
Why did the guru confirm it, and it seems that there was such a history. Seong-il was holding a jade plaque with a white expression on his face. The guru’s body begins to crumble little by little.
“Originally, I was worried about what else I should give you to give you strength, but since ‘it’ remains, I will leave only the information about ‘it’. That alone will be of great help.”
“…”
“Then… I really have to go. Have a hard time.”
After that, the master’s body is completely split like a broken pottery and scattered in all directions. And the semi-transparent Dosa seen from the inside.
Ugh!!!
The body completely disappears, and only the translucent spiritual body is the man, and suddenly a pillar of intense light is shot from the sky.
Then, the guru leads the spiritual body and climbs up his pillar and begins to ascend to the sky.
“…”
A stern and sacred scene. Seong-il looks at the guru with mixed emotions.
“…He’s gone.”
A short but intense encounter. Seong-il falls into deep emotion as he sees the last place of the guru.
Wow…!! Wooddeuk…!!
“…?!”
Seong-il was in a moment of inspiration. He hears an eerie sound of something breaking into pieces around him. Surprised, he looks around and, to his surprise, confirms that the world around him is shattering like a broken mirror.
‘I have to leave soon?!’
Just looking at it, I feel like I shouldn’t stay here forever. Because of this, Seong-il hurriedly runs to the place where he was summoned.
Awesome!! Deuk!!
An ever-increasing phenomenon. Surprised, Seong-il hurriedly descended, and fortunately there was a mirror connecting the world intact.
“Can I approach you…? Keuugh!?”
Seong-il, not knowing how to use a mirror, approached it. Then, the mirror swallows Seong-il with great suction power.
“Ugh!!”
Seong-il closes his eyes like that when he comes and feels the strong sensations coming over him when he leaves.
“…Sir.”
“… Young master!!”
When he hears someone calling him anxiously, Seong-il opens his eyes with a tired expression. Then, a peerless beauty with black hair appeared in front of me.
“Ah, silver moon…”
“Yes!! Are you okay!?”
Eun-wol was greatly surprised when Seong-il was sucked into the mirror out of the blue and popped out again in an instant. Even though her surname was answered correctly, she seems to be not relieved.
“What…?”
Then, the pulsating energy felt inside Seongil’s body. To Eun-wol’s surprise, she realizes that Seong-il’s internal energy has doubled since she entered the mirror.
“My… My skills have increased tremendously?! What the hell…?!”
Since she had never heard of or seen such a case, Eun-wol looked at her holy day with a shocked expression.
“Ah… You mean that?”
Seong-il looks at Eun-wol, who is surprised, and tries to explain what happened inside the mirror. Then he comes up with an idea, closes his mouth and searches for his bosom.
“Huh? What is that?”
Unexpectedly, Seong-il grabs one of her strange marbles, closes her eyes, and hands it to herself. Eun-wol makes a puzzled expression.
“You just know when you see it.”
At her resolute words of Seong-il, Eun-wol calmly grabs the bead he gave her and begins to read her memory.
“Three… Oh my… Did you come to meet the legendary sage in the mirror world?!”
“Yeah. That’s how it happened.”
“Wow… You’ve got a chance among opportunities…”
Eun-wol looks very envious. After stroking her hair, Seong-il takes out an amulet from her arms.
“That’s what can subdue the blood god…!!”
“Yes. If you use this, you will be able to subdue the blood god in the future. Then you will be able to regain the holy religion.”
“Oh!”
Eun-wol really likes Seong-il’s words. Seong-il smiles and tries to check the price of the amulet item.
“Customs!!”
『Jemao Leibu : 100,000 Points』
– There are five different secret techniques of reverse heaven…
‘…It’s filthy expensive.’
Even though it is a one-time consumption item, Seong-il is horrified at the price of the talisman, which costs 100,000 points.
‘Could it be… The Samsun Puppet Club?!’
It’s an item that will be used in this world anyway, so it doesn’t matter how expensive the points are, but it’s a difficult situation if the price of the three line puppets to be used in other worlds is high. Seong-il examines the talisman with a worried expression.
『Three good puppets (三仙壞儡符): 30,000 points』
– Looking at the enemy from a distance of 10 shots, throwing it into the air and killing it…
‘Huh… This one is cheap.’
30,000 points isn’t too small, but Seong-il looks relieved that he was able to handle it because there are points that will come sooner or later.
“Young master! Young master!!”
“Huh…?”
When I was lost in thought for a while. As Eun-wol calls out to her, Seong-il looks at her with a puzzled expression.
“Soon noon!! Noon!!”
“Ah…!!”
Seong-il realizes that Nodosa has one more gift left for him. He hurriedly took out the orchid from his bosom and began to kneel in front of the statue of the heavenly Buddha.
