“After.”

Gentleman is bulbal (君子引而不發) Yagyaya (躍如也) Irip the middle way (中道而立) Neungjajongji (能子從之).

When a gentleman teaches how to shoot a bow, he only shows how to pull the string and does not pull the string. If the teachings are in order, those who want to learn them will learn how to shoot archery on their own.

Understanding the minds of children is just the beginning, but the efforts of the Zen masters were worth the effort alone! It was clear that the Zen masters were working hard for their sect, and the disciples of the Jeomchang sect must have gained enlightenment just by seeing the elders working hard to maintain the righteousness, so cheer up!

That’s what I meant to say.

But where would I have heard something that smells like ink like this? There may be passages that I picked up while reading martial arts journals, but most of the high-level enlightenments located in the enlightenment DB consist of phrases that look like that.

“Anyway, I thought you would cause trouble with your senior.”

The black cat said while looking outside the guest hall.

“So, was this incident intentional by your senior? Or coincidence?”

“It was really just a purely intention to boost the morale of the teachers…”

“Anyway, why can’t I trust what this senior says? I usually deceive people in everything I do, so I can’t trust anything I say.”

The black cat looked at me with a suspicious gesture and then shook its head.

“Anyway, you know, right? This is a problem that cannot be solved even with the power of Wolbokdang.”

“You know.”

Perhaps Master Unjong will enter the realm of reality. Even if the Jeomchang faction hides this news out of consideration for me, it is such a big deal that the rumor cannot help but spread. The news that a new master of Hyeongyeong has been born is enough to make the martial arts world buzz.

And everyone will be investigating how Master Unjong rose to the position of magistrate. To capture at least part of the reason why Master Unjong was able to attain enlightenment that allowed him to attain enlightenment.

It is already a foregone conclusion that my existence will be revealed in the process.

It is said that the Ronin who gave enlightenment to Master Unjong also gave enlightenment to Yeo Il-ye? Also, is there a circumstance that Dang Do-gyeong invented the new martial arts while he was at Rongin Gaekjan?

There will be a lot of martial arts people paying attention to me.

The Jeomchangpa seen through the window of the guesthouse was quiet. Normally, this would be a time when the sound of cheers should be heard softly, but the Jeomchangpa itself is holding its breath in order not to disturb Master Unjong’s enlightenment.

As I look down, I see that the energy surrounding Master Unjong is gradually becoming darker. Should I say that my whole body is covered with strength? Seeing the body floating in that state, it looks like the complete transformation is about to begin.

It’s not like you have to completely transform yourself to become a magistrate… Well, since you were a Zen master of the fortune-telling school, you must not have been lacking in energy.

The transformation of the bone is related to the amount of internal energy. In theory, anyone can undergo a complete transformation if their internal strength reaches a certain level. The problem is that if you don’t follow the level, you won’t be able to build up that level of skill.

In general, you have to enter the prefecture to meet that amount of power, so does that mean that?

Both I and the black cat held our breath and looked down at this moment. Where can one directly witness the moment when Hyeon-gyeong’s martial artist is born and the moment when a complete transformation takes place?

The transformation was quieter than I expected. I thought I would hear the sound of bones turning my whole body into meat. Master Unjong was just floating quietly, wrapped in a cocoon of energy.

but.

A gentle storm of energy that seemed to encompass the entire Jeomchang Sect was just raging around that cocoon.

What the eye feels is a static landscape with no changes.

However, the scene that felt like a breath of fresh air was the sight of the spirit of Mt. Sunam moving around Master Unjong. The movement of the energy of the entire mountain, beyond the site of the Jeomchang Sect, being sucked into the cocoon created by Master Unjong… As someone who practices martial arts, it was a sight that could only be described as fascinating.

“…Amazing.”

I unconsciously nodded at the black cat’s mutterings.

It was an energy that gathered naturally and gently, without any rough feeling, but the force alone felt like a pressure that could push a person down. This is probably because we can fully guess what the result will be if that power condenses and explodes.

How was he so absorbed in observing the flow of energy?

Sooow

The wind blew around Master Unjong. The cocoon that isolated Master Unjong from the outside world was released, and Master Unjong’s appearance was revealed.

On the outside, there didn’t seem to be much change other than his skin becoming slightly smoother, but what had changed was not his appearance, but the energy within him. Although it was collected calmly… huge things radiated presence just by their presence.

Just as an elephant doesn’t look small just because it’s crouching down. Master Unjong, who pioneered the sublime realm of Hyeongyeong, was showing a completely different energy than before.

“Congratulations on your achievement.”

“Congratulations on your achievement.”

“…Thank you everyone.”

Master Yeongul asked on behalf of everyone’s questions.

“Has the current situation been reached?”

Master Unjong raised his hand without saying a word. The sword suddenly appeared in the air.

Igigeeogeom (以氣馭劍).

Little by little, energy began to bloom above it. The strong energy rising from the bowl the Zen masters were holding slowly began to cover the sword.

“Oh…”

Hwangang (環剛). Now that the sword is in control, should it be called the Igieo Ganggeom?

Hyeon-gyeong’s proof that beyond spraying energy outside the body, it is possible to create strong energy even in places that cannot be reached.

Master Unjong proved that he had entered the realm of enlightenment.

“I have been indebted to you again.”

There were three people sitting in front of me.

Now there are two, but until yesterday, Zen Master Cheongheo was the only master of Hyeongyeong in Jeomchang. And lastly, the long essay, Master Unjong, who ascended to the Hyeongyeong position today.

“Following Ilye, you have given enlightenment to Zen Master Unjong, and now I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

“Whew, it was just a coincidence.”

“It’s obvious. Even though this world is vast and there are many gifted masters, is there anyone who has the ability to pass on enlightenment to others? ”

I swallowed dry saliva as I heard Sakongmyeong’s words.

“It is just that the weft and warp of luck and fate are intertwined to form one shape. It is likely that Cheongi connected Do-bun and Jeom-chang. So, there is no need for you to feel burdened or humble. What about coincidental people and what about inevitable people?”

“Jeomchangpa has received enlightenment twice from Ronin Dou, so he just wants to express his gratitude. So…is there anything you want?”

My mind became confused at Sakongmyeong’s words. So, does this mean that even if I have the ability to convey enlightenment, I will pretend not to know?

“Hmph. For example, if the excessive attention paid to you is burdensome, I don’t intend to pay too much attention to outside matters.”

Master Unjong’s words resonated with me a little.

Having two masters of Hyeongyeong is a major event that will immediately change the status of the sect. There are a number of old factions and five generations without a master of current affairs in their time. In such a situation, what if Jeomchang holds two Hyeongyeongs? It occupies a unique position among the old file rooms.

The Jeomchang faction said that they would accommodate my wishes even while giving up such benefits.

“…Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“Hehe, of course. If Il-ye and Unjong’s enlightenment were the fate of Jeomchang and Roninbun being intertwined, it was also fate that Ronin Doubun suffered difficulties because of it. It is natural that Jeomchang should be with us on that path.”

Should I think of it as a bit shameless?

In fact, it is correct to say that Master Unjong was able to attain enlightenment because I finally attained enlightenment. Although it was unintentional, it could be said to be a great benefit to the Jeomchang faction since it gave the master of Hyeongyeong to the faction.

“First of all, can I control the period of my stay at Jeomchangpa?”

“Of course. If you want, you can stay forever.”

It’s refreshing.

“And the news that Master Unjong has been elevated to the position of governor…I hope you will make an official announcement after I leave.”

Sagongmyeong nodded willingly at this part as well.

While I’m leaving, should I ask for an elixir? The water attribute Neidan was obtained by cultivating Hundred Years of Fire in the undersea cave, the wood attribute elixir was purchased with money, and the sound attribute elixir and metallic elixir were obtained from the warehouse in the golden district confiscated by Sima Yan.

The Jumchang Sect decided to refine the daily elixir, so we need to obtain fire and earth elixirs.

“And you said you need to get the Seven Elements Elixir, right? It seems like how can the fire attribute elixir be manufactured in the Jeomchang sect.”

“…Thank you for your favor.”

No matter how much I made Hyeongyeong coriander, my face got hot without me knowing that I asked for it with the intention of pulling out the root of the pillar of the clan and eating it. Well, it’s not like the roots of the pillars will actually be pulled out… but I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed about having so many demands made all at once.

However, the elixirs of the Seven Elements were not simply used to pioneer the next realm, but had the effect of facilitating the operation of my energy, so I needed to quickly obtain the elixirs now that I needed to become stronger as quickly as possible.

I can’t think of a way to obtain the local elixir right now… I guess I’ll have to train first and borrow the information network of the Black Cat and Fortune Chang sect.

“Anyway, you have to stay at the fortune teller for a while to receive all the elixirs. If you have anything that comes to mind in the future, please let us know through Hyuk Kirin.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

When I left the exhibition, a black cat and a white giraffe were waiting for me.

“You’re just training, what are you here for?”

“If someone has a major accident, how can they practice calmly?”

I scratched the back of my neck as the black cat scolded me. I told Black Cat and Hyuk Kirin what kind of conversation took place at the long literary exhibition.

“Hmm. Do I have to live in the Jeomchang faction for a while? Good for you. You can also hang out with Hyukgirin Daehyup, and the kids are cute too. Isn’t that right?”

The black cat said that and tapped Hyeok Kirin’s shoulder with his shoulder. Hyeok Kirin also smiled slightly, his complexion that had darkened due to my worry.

“Yes. We will protect you safely while you are in Jeomchangpa.”

actually. The current measures were nothing more than urinating on frozen feet. In the end, the fact that I am a pocket of enlightenment will one day spread throughout the entire Jungwon martial arts world. At that time, it didn’t really matter whether my level was top-notch or peak.

It’s just that there’s only so much I can do right now.

Still, seeing the two people happy about their decision to stay at Jeomchangpa for a long period of time made me feel a little lighter.

“Senior. Don’t worry too much.”

“Hmm?”

The black cat tapped my shoulder and said.

“It’s not like a senior to have a hard complexion just because you made a mistake. You have a history of destroying the Golden Sun gang in Sacheon, right? Anyway, he said at the store that he would protect him for the rest of his life. Then, relax a little and let that little thought roll.”

“Hehe. It may be a bit difficult to express, but I was truly amazed by the return to Sichuan Province. In the end, he completely identified the culprits of the leisure lodge, including Golden Sun, and delivered justice. I will protect you at the fortune teller until a good plan comes to your mind.”

“Ha.”

What on earth do these two people think of me?

However, the words of these two people were words that woke me up. I made a huge mistake. What would have happened if I had made the same mistake before I met Yeo-il-ye and Heuk-myo? I don’t know what would have happened, but I might have been trembling with fear and chose to return to the country or go to the West.

As I looked at these two people, I remembered what Sangongmyeong had mentioned earlier: ‘fate’. Yes, because I was in the jeomchang group, the Zen masters of the jeomchang school were depressed, so I tried to comfort them, but ended up making the mistake of spitting out enlightenment.

However, Sagongmyeong only said that the current situation itself was just fate.

Maybe what Sagongmyeong said is right. By associating with the Jeomchang sect, I brought out enlightenment…and because I associated with the Jeomchang sect, I was able to receive help from the Jeomchang sect.

It is a tangle of weft and warp.

“Okay, let’s go, senior. Let’s think about it while eating fried rice.”

“Yes, even if it’s not enough, I’ll at least add my hair.”

I thought as I was grabbed by the sleeves by two people and dragged away. Maybe I’ve fallen now, but I didn’t fall. Because the tangle of fate wasn’t what supported me so I wouldn’t fall.

It’s as if these two people are now tightly connected to me.

“Ha…”

I chuckled as I was dragged by the two people.

What is it?

Let’s think about the solution together from now on.
