Chapter 42
Episode 42. The brain is to commit to a task first and then move on (6)
Papa Papang!
The sound of drums exploding continued to explode.
Puff puff poop!
The two legs move slowly, but the hands are so fast that they are not even visible to the eye. The speed was such that it was impossible to tell whether it was a punch or a strike.
Rumbling!
The air was shaking even though it was just using demonic energy and not releasing anything in particular. The martial arts attack was so fast and passionate that it seemed to shake even the air and space.
Wei Hongryeon, who had been watching the scene from afar with her arms crossed, suddenly felt a sense of popularity and turned her head to the side. Ma Dong-pil was approaching.
“what?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you have business for me?”
“Nothing.”
“But why are you here?”
“That’s because this is the place where you can best see Confucius’ training scenes.”
Wei Hongryun frowned.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Please speak.”
“Is the Three Princes always like that?”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes became sharp.
“I’m telling you just in case, the excessive language about Confucius is…”
“It’s not because you’re loud.”
“if?”
“Sam Gongja, you are showing the training scenes too openly.”
“….”
“I said I was just going, so I said if I wanted to see it, I could see it however I wanted. “I was surprised.”
Ma Dong-pil chuckled.
“Confucius always says something.”
“What?”
“Don’t think about showing off with martial arts that you can’t confidently show to others.”
“…!”
“You also said that there is no world as dangerous as Kangho’s martial arts world. “If you live in a world where you have to be nervous to survive, I would rather show you my strengths and weaknesses clearly.”
“Isn’t the front and back of words different?”
“You said that’s why people get nervous. “He said that it would be ten thousand times better to move even one step in the time you were measuring, clumsily doing this or that.”
“….”
“You said you feel anxious sometimes too. But you also said that you know that true freedom begins with honesty.”
Ma Dong-pil turned his gaze to Seo-ryang.
Seolyang’s eyes were extremely serious, whether he knew what he was seeing from this side or not.
“If you want to dig, dig, and if you want to learn, learn. Anyway, the path I will take is decided, so I don’t care what you see or say. “I think Confucius lives with that thought in mind every day.”
It was truly a complete misunderstanding. Seo-ryang just wanted to break away from the evil group called the Heavenly Demon Church.
However, Wei Hongryun was extremely shocked by those words. This is because, in all my years as a native person, I have never seen anyone speak like Seoryang.
‘For true freedom, do not hide it, but reveal it… Honesty is the first step to freedom…’ Although
I lived with the risk of death every day, I never wished for death.
However, the Three Dukes sacrifice their lives for freedom. Even though there was no need to compare, I couldn’t help but feel complicated by the difference in perspectives that I kept comparing.
‘It’s possible to live with those thoughts.’
She paid more attention to the martial arts used by Xi Liang.
I can’t even see what’s moving properly. If he were to face that martial artist, he would probably collapse within five rounds.
I just knew it.
How amazing a martial art that is, and how much of a help it would have been if an expert had seen it before me.
How much time has passed like that?
bang! Pow!
The final blow after an advance that shook the earth.
“Whoa.”
Seoyang let out a long breath with his body drenched in sweat.
‘done. Now it’s perfect.’
It was put together so well that it was okay to unfold it unconsciously. His Jecheongi has now changed to the point where it can be considered a completely different martial art from when he was King of Sal.
‘There is no need to abandon the law of killing. No, there was no need to share how to live or anything in the first place.’
When I opened my clenched fist, a haze rose up. It is a condensation of dark magic energy in the palm of one’s hand.
‘If you intend to kill, it will become a killing method. If not, it will become a suppressor. In the end, it depends on the heart of the person using martial arts.’
This is something I already know, but after learning magic, I start to accept it in a new way. As I came into contact with another form of martial arts, my horizons broadened and the range of applications became vast.
Enlightenment ultimately comes in circles. If you can make the right decision at the right time, the path to martial arts will always be open.
After roughly wiping away the sweat, it was time to reorganize his body.
“You’re amazing.”
“Are you still there?”
“I can’t even figure out what type of martial arts it is. “There were such amazing martial arts skills at our school.”
Although Seo-ryang felt uncomfortable for no reason, he tried not to make a big deal out of it.
“Your martial arts skills are also considerable. “It was fast and irregular, uncharacteristic of our school’s martial arts skills.”
“Oh, was that so?”
“Isn’t it a martial art that is easy to use if you don’t have naturally excellent senses? “It also has a generous taste.”
There is an evaluation of the martial arts skills that one has displayed. Naturally, I have no choice but to open my ears.
“However, since it is a young martial artist who has only recently made it, there is a bit of a rush. “It’s good that it assumes a continuous technique, but it focuses too much on speed and lacks delicacy.”
“….”
“Try complementing it slowly. Anyway, it was a pretty good martial arts skill.”
Wei Hongryun was shocked.
“Can you just tell me that?”
“what?”
“The pros and cons of my martial arts skills.”
“Why not?”
“….”
“It’s not morally rude or a crime, so is there a reason to draw a line? Moreover, you cannot understand everything that is impossible just by telling it to you. “Even if you cough up blood and work hard, you don’t know if you will get it or not, so don’t act like it’s already yours.”
“…Oh yes.”
“Do you need a hangover?”
“it’s okay.”
“Dongpil ate, right? “Then I will eat.”
After a while, Seoryang ate and flirted with Cherry Blossoms next to the training hall. Geumho, who had been sleeping, climbed up on the table as if he had been waiting and chewed the fish fillet that Seoryang had prepared.
Wei Hongryun looked at Xu Liang blankly.
He laughs and eats, wondering what is so funny.
Aenghwa, the maid, was also busy laughing and chatting.
‘He is a truly amazing person in many ways.’
As they become three princesses, they sleep with a mere maid and even talk to each other like friends. The more I knew about him, the more I knew him.
After finishing the meal, Seoryang changed into his clothes and put his sword on his belt.
Ma Dong-pil’s expression became puzzled.
“Where are you going?”
“uh? “Uh, to meet the fourth.”
Ma Dong-pil and Wi Hong-ryeon nodded at the words that came out so naturally.
Nod…
“Yes?!”
“What?”
Seoryang, who was looking at the two in shock, snorted.
“Why are you so surprised?”
Wei Honglian asked in confusion.
“You’re going to meet the Sangongja? “Now?”
“Then when are you going?”
“No, I don’t know how I will get out of there…”
Seo-ryang frowned.
“Where has the reputation of Gwangma Daeju, who is said to have a fiery personality, to be like the fire of hell, gone? Should I suck my finger and wait then?”
“Uh… of course…”
“I don’t know how I’ll get out of there, so I’m just going to try and catch them off guard.”
“…!”
“Isn’t this some sort of soldier game or a coordinated dance routine? The one that wins first somehow has the advantage. “Whether it’s a fight or a misunderstanding, we have to meet to find an answer.”
A smile gradually appeared on Wei Hongryun’s face as she looked at Seo-ryang blankly, at a loss for words.
It was a ferocious smile that sent chills into the hearts of those who encountered it.
“I like it.”
“what?”
“Confucius’s hotness.”
“I’m kind of attractive, don’t I?”
“Very much.”
If it had been a normal conversation, I would have thought that Wei Hongryeon had this side. He spoke with such a lively smile that it sent shivers down the spines of all who heard him.
“If you’re going to do that, then let’s go together, right?”
“…?”
“I don’t have anything to prepare.”
Xu Liang looked at her as if she was dumbfounded. Ma Dong-pil was no different.
“You said you were in charge of Jinma Daeju? “Where are you going?”
“Who knows if there will be Daeju Jinma if we go there. And just like Confucius said, waiting for the fruit to fall is a bit unsightly.”
“…her.”
Xiliang scratched his head. Even he could not have imagined this development.
“Like yesterday and today, is it okay to neglect your kids like that?”
“Anyway, the company dinner lasts five days. Of these, only the first day is spent drinking while on base, and the rest is just rest. “I gave a good warning this time, so there won’t be any accidents.”
Actually, when I think of the people trembling in front of me.
Wei Hongryun grinned.
“I hate my nickname too, but let’s go crazy today.”
“…I’m already worried, Sibeol.”
“yes?”
“Oh no. Okay, let’s go together.”
As you said, it seems like it could be an unexpected move.
Just like that, the three people and an animal that was sleeping soundly in the arms of one of them headed towards Hong Wei-mun’s residence.
* * *
“Whoa.”
The billowing blue smoke seeped into every corner of the room.
Shinhoe was curious about what kind of tobacco Confucius smoked so much.
It seemed like he was smoking a different type each time, but the color and scent became more intense, and Confucius’ expression seemed to become more and more drowsy.
“Confucius.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“It may be presumptuous of you to say this, but how about shortening the start of the year?”
Hong Wei-moon chuckled.
“You said that before, but again?”
“I don’t know exactly what kind of medicine it is, but it is said that in general, tobacco has a negative effect on the lungs and intestines. It won’t be a problem at least at the beginning of the year, but at least…”
“Well, it could be.”
“….”
“Thank you for your concern, but it’s okay. “If it’s really dangerous, I’ll take care of it.”
Shinhoe sighed.
“I feel like I offended Confucius with my pointless words, so I have no shame.”
Hong Wi-moon robbed Gombangdae. The colors of the candle and the smoke were different, but the scattered ashes were always gray.
Hong Yu-moon opened his mouth, thinking that everyone lives in their own way, but ultimately they all end up dying the same way.
“Shinhoe.”
“Yes, Confucius.”
“do not worry. “I’m always preparing for the worst.”
“…I don’t know what worst you are thinking about, but if that happens, I will be the first to die.”
Hong Yuwen smiled.
It was the unique smile he usually made that blew away all the drowsiness.
“How can I not know your loyalty? don’t worry. “That day will never come, but even if that day does come, I won’t pamper you until the end.”
Shinhoe bowed his head at the warm words, which were unusual for Hongwimun.
“Anyway, is there any particular movement on the part of the Three Dukes?”
“Oh yeah. No movement has been reported to date. However, because it is a place so far away, there are many different roads…”
That was then.
Hong Yu-wen raised his hand. Then the mouth of the Godhead was immediately closed.
“Someone came.”
“…?”
“But this dense magic energy… is not easy to find…”
“What do you mean?”
Hongwimun with no answer. It seemed like he was checking whether his senses were truly correct.
After a while, he turned his head to the window.
Slam!
Hong Yu-wen opened the window and looked outside.
at the same time.
“Howdy!”
A long way away, quite far away from the gate, someone was waving happily.
Hong Yuwen’s eyes wavered.
‘Xiliang?!’
It was quite a distance, but I could see it clearly when I strengthened my eyesight.
That wasn’t all. On either side of Seoliang, a woman with a familiar face and a man in his early thirties were standing upright.
Xu Liang smiled and shouted.
“You came to see your little brother’s face, man! “Leave the door wide open! Do you understand?”
