Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 26.

Reason for Fighting (1)

“Ugh, it’s cold. How did it get cold so quickly? “I’ll freeze to death if I go out wearing only a mat.”

His body was trembling, but his expression was bright.

“We’re finally here!”

Full-sang looked at the huge manor. To be precise, I was looking at the signs inside.

‘As expected, there are a lot.’

I could feel the popularity of countless people. What is surprising is that most of them are experts who can be called top-notch.

Full Sang rubbed his hands with an excited expression.

‘Is this because they are the talented people who will inherit the family? The guard warriors were also sent as strong people.’

The secret yet sharp spirit of the escorts was more impressive than the confident spirit of the late exponents. Since we are sending a successor to a powerhouse where we do not know what will happen, it would be natural to attach experts.

“Now then, let’s go in and see the faces of the master and the ladies…”

It was then.

“What about you?”

“Wow!”

Full-sang quickly straightened his posture and looked back.

A middle-aged prosecutor was standing there. Unlike his blunt expression, as if he was carved out of stone, his sword-like prayer was impressive.

Full Sang cleared his throat.

‘I made this mistake again.’

If you can’t even feel this level of prayer inspection approaching, you can’t be considered a warrior. Once he concentrated, he completely forgot about his surroundings.

“You’re accumulating incredible strength. “I don’t think it’s just a simple beggar… Is it open?”

“That’s right, Gwangpunggeom Daehyeop.”

Shinmo raised her eyes.

“Do you know me?”

“Haha, you should be quick to notice that you are in a situation where you have to beg for food.”

Open martial arts skills are comparable to those of the Old Daemun School. But surprisingly, their organs were not martial arts.

It was just information. The information power of the opening was the best in Baekdo Murim. Of course, in order to become an open member, you have to be quick-witted and smart.

Shin’s mother looked at Moon Geun-sang’s waist.

‘Eight knots?’

Arm knot.

Surprise appeared on Shinmo’s face.

“Hugee (後丐)?”

Full-sang scratched his head as if embarrassed. Heoyeon’s dandruff has fallen.

“I’m just a spoiled brat who has been beaten by my master all this age.”

Although he expressed himself cheerfully, no one in the world can ignore the aftereffects of openness.

Opening was a group that was evaluated as a force equal to the Seven Great Families of the Old Daemun Sect. Because it has the largest number of doors among single breakwaters, it is also called 100,000 doors.

The king of all the beggars scattered throughout the central plains. Baekdo is the biggest figure in the intelligence world.

Moon Geun-sang is the successor to that person.

Shinmo took control.

“There were a lot of rude comments at first meeting. “I didn’t know it was the successor to openness.”

“Oh, don’t apologize so much! “You are being too polite to a lowly beggar.”

A person who can confidently say that he is a lowly person even though he is a big name in the martial arts world.

It looked even more amazing that way. Even though it was the first time they met, Shin’s mother was able to be sure that Geun-sang was not an easy person.

“But what’s going on here this morning…?”

“ah! Ahahaha! I just came here because I had some work to do nearby, and it just so happened that the seven major powers were having a meeting for the latter period. “I was snooping around to see if I could get some advice.”

Shinmo’s eyes lit up.

There is no way that a person as old as the next generation would have known about the meeting of the Seven Great Families. He must have come to find out something.

“I’m sorry. “I am a warrior of the Yan family and am not qualified to let you in.”

“Hey, it’s okay! A beggar shouldn’t be a nuisance to the guests at a party!”

Shinmo nodded.

“If you do, I will go in first.”

“Let’s take a look and go in… Huh?”

Full Sang tilted his head.

“But what is that bundle?”

“Oh, this is…”

Shinmo cleared his throat.

“It’s an errand for the Grand Duke of the family.”

“Running an errand? What kind of errand was it so heavy…”

“Okay then.”

“yes? Ah yes! “Come in!”

Shinmo entered the manor.

Full-sang’s eyes shone sharply.

“Grand Duke Yeonhojeong.”

A person who burned alive the evil enemy who set fire to Chosunru. The eldest son of the Byeoksan Yeonga family, who was once rumored to be a wise man below Hobu.

I also knew that Shinmo was the Great Lord of Chang-Eung and that he had played a great role in Choseongru. However, I did not ask him about Yeonhojeong when I met him by chance. Because I didn’t think they would tell me anyway.

‘Originally, this kind of thing is like meeting in person and scratching the surface.’

Oh, I’m looking forward to it.

Full-sang banged on the closed door.

“Iboshows! Was there some sort of party happening? The smell has been killing me since morning! “If there’s anything left, let’s get some too!”

* * *

“Whoop!”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sweating profusely, threw the bar carelessly.

I woke up early in the morning and swung the iron bar non-stop until the end of the morning.

‘This is enough for Seonpungbong (旋風棒). ‘I guess I can move on to the spear.’

Although my body is not yet as mature as expected, I have definitely mastered the basics of Changbong techniques. I was learning batonmanship and even mastering spearmanship, but wielding an actual spear with a blade was another thing.

It was much faster progress than expected. As I learned Hyeonmu, the delicacy of martial arts came to life, and the time it took to get used to it became twice as fast.

‘It’s a window… You shouldn’t skip it after all.’

His real weapon was a huge ax that weighed more than tens of pounds.

In order to handle the ax like a limb, one had to learn spearmanship to the level of a master. As your martial arts skills become deeper day by day, you will quickly become accustomed to spearmanship as well.

‘Weapons are weapons, but it is also important to awaken all the four divine energies. If possible, start with the white tiger.’

While the Hyeonmu of Sasinmu specializes in complete defense, the Baekho specializes in attacks that do not back down. In fighting and advancing, there was no martial force like the White Tiger.

As I thought about Four Gods, I suddenly thought about a man called Four Directions.

‘He has perfect attack, defense, and evasion, and he uses a golden dragon on top of that?’

Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin with a serious expression.

‘There are many martial arts that have raised attack, defense and evasion to a high level. But the part about the golden dragon catches the eye.’

What if the Emperor of the Four Directions is truly the master of the Four Gods of War?

‘They say I’ve even surpassed the yellow dragon energy.’

Hwangryonggi was the ultimate intention of Sasinmu.

He believed that there was no absolute invincibility in the world, but he thought that Hwangryonggi was a martial art that was infinitely close to absolute invincibility. During the time of Emperor Heukam, Yeon Ho-jeong was a master of five righteousness so difficult that he could not even enter the initiation.

‘If you have the martial arts ability to pull out the Yellow Dragon, I am confident that you will not lose if you fight anyone. At least in this life….’

This time, I will never have the same regrets as before.

Yeon Ho-jeong tried to forget about the four directions. I stir-fried Zhuge Yan, thinking that he could be the successor to Sasinmu, but now was not the time to find out about the past of someone whose face I did not know.

After taking a cold water bath, Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly felt the presence of people in the room.

“Is it flat?”

“Yes, brother.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong greeted Yeon Ho-jeong with a smile.

“Did you wash up?”

“okay.”

“You haven’t eaten, right? “Let’s go do it together.”

“OK.”

The Yeon brothers left the room and headed to the restaurant.

The brothers were silent as they walked to the restaurant. This may be because Yeon Ho-jeong doesn’t normally talk much, but considering Yeon Ji-pyeong’s personality, it was surprising.

Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Yeon Ji-pyeong.

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s expression was bright. But both eyes were keenly scanning the surroundings.

“What are you thinking?”

“yes?”

“What are you thinking?”

“Oh no.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Yeon Ji-pyeong quietly, sighed.

“There’s no need to worry about those around you.”

“yes?”

“It means you don’t have to be nervous because of what happened yesterday.”

“Ah…”

Yeon Ji-pyeong scratched his head.

“Just in case.”

“sorry. “You must have been worried a lot because of me.”

“No, brother. What happened yesterday happened because of the eldest son of the Tang family. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s expression was quite serious. He wasn’t just saying it to please people, but he seemed to genuinely think that way.

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“But having a fight with the Three Dukes of a famous family…”

“Haha, I won’t think about it that far.”

“ok?”

You don’t think? What does this mean again?

Yeon Ji-pyeong whetted his appetite.

“This is what I thought as I came here. I was really just a frog in a well. “The world is a lot more interesting than I thought, and it’s also just as dangerous.”

That’s right.

“But my brother was different. “No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t fit with my family’s laws, but my brother had strong confidence and clear beliefs.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became strange.

I confidently say that it is not in accordance with the laws of the Yeonga family. This meant that he understood the family’s teachings well.

“I don’t think I’m as smart as my brother. But I know this one thing. “My brother will never do anything that is harmful to the family.”

“….”

“I will think about whether your way of doing things is right or wrong later. However, I believe in you, and you are unwavering. “That’s what’s important.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled.

A strength that was not typical of the smile of a fifteen-year-old boy was evident.

“But I didn’t know that your martial arts skills were that strong. “Do you think I will have to learn from you from now on?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

Not like that. Rather, he felt like he had to learn from Yeon Ji-pyeong.

The younger brother who has lived his whole life according to his family’s teachings. However, although the younger brother may have been embarrassed by his older brother’s unconventional words and actions, he did not betray his trust in him.

I had enough worries coming here, so now I want to trust my brother.

‘Did this guy have a side like this?’

strong.

Maybe my younger brother was born with a strong nature. But maybe there was just no need to show it so far.

“But why are you looking around like that?”

“Your brother said that. “There are murderers in the temples and saints in the back alleys. It is said to be powerful.”

“hmm.”

“Do you know anything? “I don’t know if anyone will do anything to you because of what happened yesterday.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“If someone tries to harm you, will you be able to do it with your skills?”

“Why are you doing this? “Even though I’m not as good as my brother, I’m okay in my own way.”

Considering his age, he should not be seen as being at a decent level, but rather as being at a great level.

Yeon Ho-jeong messed up Yeon Ji-pyeong’s hair.

“Gyaggyaggya!”

“Don’t lose your strength for no reason and just relax. “If anything happens, I will stop it.”

“My hair is all messed up!”

“That’s what I’m saying, man.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s tone changed subtly.

When I returned to the past and was inside the family, the way I spoke was exactly like this. However, after coming into the world, his attitude towards his younger brother was more like his father than that of his older brother.

As Yeon Ji-pyeong said, it was because it was dangerous. It seemed as if the image of Black Emperor Seongju, who was 46 years old, appeared naturally in order to protect his younger brother.

However, Yeonjipyeong was not weak. After seeing this, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to treat Yeon Ji-pyeong like a member of the family.

“Anyway, what did you say for breakfast today?”

“I don’t know either? But it smells just like dongpo meat.”

“Eating meat first thing in the morning must be a waste of money.”

That was when the Yeon brothers arrived at the restaurant, having a long conversation.

“Ouch! Wow, am I older now? “I’m full just from eating this!”

There was a beggar who kicked down the restaurant door and came out pounding his stomach.

Surprisingly, a beggar came in, but there was not an ounce of disdain in the eyes of the late exponents looking at him. Although there was a hint of fear.

Yeonhojeong’s eyes glowed.

‘the poor? Is it open? The knot is… eight knots?’

He looked at the beggar’s face. The beggar also looked at Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong saw a vision of the past.

A hero who never stopped laughing while stroking his dirty grizzled beard. A man who knew the true identity of the owner of Black Emperor Castle but did not spread it to the martial arts world.

He is the general manager of openness who helped greatly in pushing back the forces of Saeumgyo, and one of the few good people who treated him, the king of the black island, in the same way as the leaders of the white island martial arts.

Yeon Ho-jeong overlaid memories of the past on the beggar’s face.

What if your dirty, black beard grows a little longer and turns half-white?

What if the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth get deeper and your hair is tied up tightly?

What if the number of knots increases from eight to nine and a stylish dagger with an emerald on it is tied around your waist?

“A dragon-headed ark?!”
