Chapter 20 – 20. Different Dreams
It was an ambitious night when no one would be awake except for those on duty, but the Moorimmaeng Sacheon branch was busy. Because it was revealed that an elder of the Qingseong faction, a member of the Gupabang, tried to harm the newly accepted disciple. A storm raged upon the news that it was Elder Baeksu from Cheongseongpa who had even given the order.
Baekwoon’s teacher, Geomhu, heard about the cause of blood loss from Uigakju, and went on a rampage, saying he would kill Baekjin, and there was an incident where the branch manager stopped him and broke into a cold sweat.
In any case, rumors spread in waves because everyone, from the general manager of the maeng, to the middle-ranking employees, and even those who stopped by as guests for a short time, saw it. They say that a horse without feet can travel a thousand miles, and that was right. Within two days, a rumor spread in Sacheon that Baek Jin tried to harm the swordsman’s disciple, and using this as an excuse, the Amipa and the Sacheon Dangga began to oppress the Qingseong faction.
Usually, the huge munpa of the political faction takes care of the back of the people and secures the territory. For example, by giving back some of the profits at the inn to be protected from sapas or gangsters, or to accompany the guards like the guards in long-distance transactions with the flags or merchants.
However, when rumors spread that the Qingseong faction, known as the Gupa, tried to harm the Huashan faction belonging to the same Gupa, and even a disciple of Swordsman, trust fell.
If this is the case with the same Gupabang, what would it be like for the civilians themselves? In this way, the swindlers planted by the two powers sighed and pressed the position of the Cheongseong faction, robbing the territory.
From the point of view of the Qingsong faction, it was a matter of going crazy and jumping. According to rumors, it is said that the Qingsheng sect’s long master grabbed the back of his neck and collapsed due to high blood pressure.
Even if the elders went out and had an accident, they had a big accident, and the evidence was clear, so they couldn’t get out. The first proof is that the letter instructing the murder came from Baek Jin’s bosom, and the second proof is that it came from Elder Baek Jin’s luggage, as it was a settlement item to be distributed to the swordsmith and his disciples.
However, even though the evidence was firm, Baek Jin appealed, denying his guilt.
He insisted that all of this was Baiyun’s ruse and that he was the victim, and that he had a blood plasma contract for distributing Jujak’s body, so he should search his room as well. It was already clear, but it could not be ignored, so Maeng’s investigative team searched Baek-wun’s room and found a document containing Baek-jin’s corruption, not a contract. It had enough destructive power to make them lie down.
In addition, he added the claim that there were traces of pottery stirring Baekwoon’s body and inducing internal injuries, and in the end, he took Suzaku’s heart, that is, the inner hem, saying that the sword was for treatment. He had his eyes open and his nose cut, but there was nothing the Qingsheng faction could do.
As the situation deteriorated to such an extent, a great change occurred in the Qingsheng faction.
The disciples of the Cheongseongpa, who were indignant at the fact that there was not one elder but two elders working together, and those who, like Baekdojinin, were absorbed in training and lived like real ascetics and did not pay attention to internal affairs, insisted that they thoroughly dig into the inside. Under one of the great disciples, it wouldn’t have been a big problem even if they insisted on it. It will naturally fade over time.
However, with the elders involved, that became impossible. In the end, frequent infighting continued and incidents did not cease, and as a result, the wind of revolution began to blow in the Cheongseongpa.
On the other hand, Baekwoon, who received treatment during the uproar and was completely cured, trimmed the internal wounds that had been cured with manual gymnastics. It is said that Uigakju directly examined and recovered, but this is because his rehabilitation was more effective.
‘Anyway, since he’s an elder of the Qingsheng faction, I tried just in case, but I couldn’t see through the magic either. It was surprising that he didn’t even notice the suction cup law.’
He giggled alone, remembering what he would be astonished if others knew.
The whole story was his ruse. It was a self-inflicted play that deliberately suffered internal injuries by tricking it like a contract with witchcraft overlaid with illusions and passing it to Baek Jin, stealing his pottery when shaking hands, and not sending it to the Danjeon by stealing his pottery.
In order to use the Absorption Great Method, you must be in contact with the other person, and of course you have no choice but to be caught, but only a very small amount is absorbed, and then, by holding your hand with force to crush it, it causes pain and misleads you. When he was hit, he usually felt a sting and then felt the blood dry, but because he mistook it for the pain of holding his hand tightly, Baek Jin didn’t notice the suction power.
In addition, his mind was disturbed by the internal injuries he inflicted on himself, and the spell on the contract was also disturbed at the right time.
If the reverse magic applied to the face was an automatic maintenance-type magic close to the imprint, the illusion applied to the contract was a manual maintenance-type magic. Because of that, from Baek-jin’s point of view, he must have felt like the sky was suddenly turned upside down and common sense was changed.
If he hadn’t neglected his training as an ascetic, he might have faintly sensed the signs of witchcraft in line with the jjambab of being an elder.
Baekwoon, who warmed up after finishing the manual gymnastics, secretly moved somewhere without hesitation, even though he felt fear for the gloomy future ahead. He left the room assigned to him and moved to the room after the sword, where he had visited once before and had been beaten with a back scraper.
Smart smart
– Come in.
Unlike last time, there was an answer.
Baekun carefully opened the door and went inside.
“Master. Disciple, I received a call and came.”
Unlike the last time, the attitude of the student entering the master’s room for the second time was completely different from the last time.
“Have you come?”
The room was dark. A crest was placed on the window to block the sunlight, and the brightest thing in the room was a single candle flickering in the wick of the lantern. In that beautiful light, Geomhu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed like a true ascetic, opened his eyes and looked at the disciple who had come.
At that gaze, Baekwoon’s shoulders shrank.
The gaze of his teacher, Swordsman, seemed to bruise him.
-You reported your sins.
It’s like this.
‘Shit. I have nothing to say.’
Even though she was her own teacher, she never told her about her suction cup method. All she did was disguise her contract as witchcraft and provoke provocation by sending insulting words during the handshake.
The problem is that Baek-un himself got the job done even though he suffered an internal injury.
As the saying goes, “The military department is one,” To a certain teacher, a disciple was like a child who inherited everything he had. Hearing that such a disciple made a plan to inflict serious internal injuries on his own, the swordsman couldn’t help but be angry. He almost would have been angry with himself, so Baekwoon waited for the swordsman to speak up with a feeling of guilt.
“Disciple. Do you know how this teacher feels right now?”
“I think you must have been disappointed with this disciple.”
“That’s right. You know it well.”
The guilt of disappointing the master squeezes the disciple’s heart. Her relationship with her priest was her first, but she was also the woman he liked, so it was a heavy burden on her shoulders that she was saddened by that.
But even if he went back, he was sure that Baekwoon would use this method as it is.
It’s a bit malicious and vicious, but it’s the most effective way to overturn the Cheongseong faction, and it’s less time consuming. There was no choice but to do this for a regressor who was already busy with things piled up throughout, from pre-processing some demonic realms to restoring the realm.
Looking at such a disciple with many secrets, the swordsman said.
“But this master is more disappointed in himself than in his pupil.”
“Yes? Master, how could you say something like that…?”
“Even if a disciple has many secrets, if he is a teacher, I swear that I must trust him unconditionally, but I just watched without noticing the foolish scheme that hurt you. Do you know how it feels? It’s the first time I’ve ever felt so helpless after being called the swordsman.”
“That… It’s not Master’s fault. It happened because I was dishonest. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
Even though he could have prepared in advance if he had only his heart, the fact that he neglected her until the time came became a guilty feeling, and he said that with her reputation as a swordsman, he pressed his shoulders. Couldn’t
Apologizing and seeing her restless Baekun, Geomhu held back her sigh that rose from within.
‘I don’t know how he cheated on me when he was so anxious.’
Seeing how she reacted that way, it would be right for Baek-un to respect and like her as a disciple and as a teacher and woman. The reaction he shows now is like a child who realizes that he did something wrong and reflects on it, but at first glance, he also has the side of a boyfriend who did something wrong to his lover.
No matter how much the young disciple has become younger as a half-year-old, she sincerely approaches her, saying that she likes her when she sees herself as a grandmother, and her heart pounds.
Sixty hours holding only a sword. Called Geomhu, swordsmen, regardless of gender union, receive longing gazes and are only evaluated as cool. Her heart beats at the words of her disciple, and her confidence as a woman is satisfied by her eyes full of lust. I tasted the feeling.
Considering herself to be the master, she was at a loss as to how to deal with the white cloud in front of her.
‘Should I just ask for a secret? I don’t want to be forced to ask.’
It’s been less than a month since her teacher insisted that she trust her disciple and not ask questions, but her disciple had already had an accident and collapsed, making her mind uneasy. Of course, this time, the results came out well, and he was cured in a short time without any aftereffects, and it was the best because he got up after shaking it off.
However, who would be satisfied with the results after seeing the disciples go so far as to self-torture? At least she wasn’t that cold-blooded after the sword herself.
What is certain is that he had a strong intuition that he would continue to hold the secret alone and achieve something while taking her damage. Her master’s intuition was one that could not be ignored, so she trusted herself and made the decision to dig out her secrets for the sake of her disciple.
“Disciple. Choose.”
“What do you mean?”
“Shouldn’t you be hurt in the future, or should I tell Master Lee honestly and let him choose whether to carry it with me? If the disciple keeps dealing with heartaches like this time, I think Master Lee will suffer from heartaches on the contrary.”
“That’s…”
As expected, Baekwoon closed his eyes as if he was deeply troubled.
Even if he is a thousand years old, he will believe in his disciple to the end, but how far can his disciple trust himself? The face of Sword Hu, who was conscious of the heartbeat she felt in her chest and waiting for an answer, was a little like that of a woman trying to hear a confession, but she was not aware of it.
Then, with his eyelids open, his eyes were filled with a firm will, as if he had made up his mind to do something.
“Master. This is going to be a very long story. Will you listen?”
A question that seemed to contain a warning. It sounded like it was a big secret, so if you weren’t prepared, you should stop here.
In response to Baek-un’s concerns, the fact that he was receiving her trust and concern made her feel satisfied as her teacher and woman, and she smiled softly without realizing it.
“It seems that the master and the disciple have plenty of time to talk.”
