***

The process of learning the sword technique was not that easy. But even so, it’s impossible to not do anything.

Since last time, she has never looked for herself or seen herself reflected through the heart sutra.

I wonder if this is the end.

Doesn’t that mean I won’t be able to see her anymore?

Sayoon became nervous, but he didn’t stop training. How long had it been since he started learning the Great Swordsmanship?

Chaeryeon called her.

“Now.”

After training for a while, Sa-yoon received a call from Chae-ryeon and came to the Seomhwaseong branch of Munwoljeong. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw the mirror she held out.

That’s because what Chae-ryeon held in her hand was a mirror with a picture of a spider engraved on it.

She.

A mirror owned by a woman who may be another Sayun.

When Sayun was surprised, Chaeryeon touched her shoulder.

“Ah. My shoulder hurts because I worked so hard to persuade Sister Joo.”

Chae-ryeon spoke proudly while joking, and Sayun quickly massaged her shoulders. She giggled at how ticklish it was, sat Sayoon down and handed her a book.

The close sister that Chae-ryeon mentioned.

It was a letter sent by a woman named Joo Hye-eun, known as Wonju of a small sect called Mihyangwon.

[I heard a lot about Sa Sojeo. Actually, it was a long time ago that I found out about Sa Soje. Do you remember what happened at Changwoon Hall?]

Changwoon-gwan’s work.

When I first went to Changwoon Pavilion, I was attacked by a demonic cult. But why does Joo Hye-eun mention that? Puzzled, she turned her eyes to the temple again.

[At that time, you saved my uncle and Cheonhae. Gaebong Cheon is my maternal family.]

“Ah.”

I remember. There was a time when I saved a child who was almost attacked by a gangshi at Changwoongwan.

Then, that child could not be.

Sayun continued reading the manuscript.

[From then on, I started learning about Sa Soje. I also wanted to express my gratitude in person, but since Mihyangwon is not a very large sect and does not fit in with a strong sect like Hongseongmun, I was unable to come and say hello to them separately.

That’s why I didn’t know how surprised I was when I heard from Chae-ryeon.

Cheonhae is like my own younger brother. If you saved that child, you can be said to be a hero I can admire. If such a person wishes, I can lend the Sutra of Good and Evil as much as he wants. I would like to give it to you, but it is also a treasure of Mihyangwon. So, I hope you return it when you come to Mihyangwon later.]

Sayoon, who was reading the letter, smiled bitterly. When I came to Mihyangwon, asking for it back was like saying that I didn’t have to return it if I didn’t go.

In other words, the word is lent, but you can keep it if you want.

But how could that be?

Sayun gently held the Sutra of Good and Evil, and Chaeryeon smiled at her.

“You seemed quite surprised when I told you your story before, but I had no idea something like this existed. Hey. How do we become connected like this?”

“That’s right. You said Joo Hye-eun is Wonju, right? Once this is over, I will definitely have to come and say hello.”

“Hehe. My sister will like it a lot too. Because the age difference between us is not that big. If I do well, maybe we can become friends?”

“Huh?”

I thought she was quite old because she was my older sister and she was from Wonju, but she turned out to be around the same age.

Sayun was surprised and Chaeryeon said indifferently.

“Mihyangwon is a martial arts school, but it is a school that focuses more on things like tea ceremonies, history, and research into secret places rather than martial arts. Hye-eun is wise… Also, Hye-eun’s father… So, Jeondae Wonju is also an excellent secret hunter, so he often visits the clan.”

“Ah. So…”

“Yes. I left Mihyangwon in charge sooner. Anyway, it doesn’t look good if Wonju is away often. And although my sister is young, she is wise enough to lead the clan and has good martial arts skills. The people there are nice, and people from the Murim League and other sects often visit to learn about tea ceremonies and history to get advice.”

“I see…”

Sayoon nodded slightly and played with the Sutra of Good and Evil. So, is this what happened?

But the problem was that even when I looked at myself in the Heart Sutra, nothing appeared.

“…Ha.”

“But I heard you are learning the sword technique these days. So won’t we be blocked by the wall again? How about using that as an opportunity?”

“Haha… You have to hope that an unmanned person gets blocked by a wall.”

“What do you think?”

Chae-ryeon said casually and took a sip of tea.

“To achieve one goal, you have to go through numerous steps, right?”

“That’s true too. thank you. I will definitely repay you for this later.”

“Okay. I will not forget and accept it, so be prepared.”

Chae-ryeon patted Sayun on the back and stood up. Before she knew it, Surado was in her hand.

“Then should we have a round?”

“Ahahaha. Yes.”

“I heard you’re learning the Daegeom style these days? Try it. Training is good, but it would also be a good experience to fight at a similar level as if it were real combat.”

Sayun nodded towards Chae-ryeon, who never lost her smile no matter the situation.

okay.

It is an extremely simple truth that numerous steps must be taken to achieve one goal.

In that case, we should carry out it silently.

After meeting with Chae-ryeon, I stopped by the inn. It was to tell the uncle that he had acquired a new mirror.

“Then I will go.”

“Please proceed with caution.”

It was Nam Chae-hyeon, the director of Changwoon Hall.

Last time I came, he met and worked with people from Seongju, the Murim League, and the Murim people who came to Seomhwaseong. He was packing up his luggage and leaving the guest room, as if it was time to leave.

Seeing him off were Yuwol, Geomseong, Hongryeon, and Chaejin.

When Sayun was surprised to see everyone gathered together, Yuwol, who found her, smiled and said as always.

“Welcome.”

“Oh. Hello.”

“I heard you went to see Chae-ryeon.”

Yuwol glanced at Geomseong. I think I heard from the Sword Master that he took some time out today while practicing the Great Swordsmanship recently.

Since he had no intention of hiding anything, Sayun took out the Sutra of Good and Evil from his pocket and showed it to him.

“Mr. Ambassador’s residence. Do you remember what happened at Changwoon Hall?”

“That’s right, remember.”

“Thanks to the connection I had at that time, I was able to borrow this.”

Sayun told him the contents of the letter, and Yuwol tilted his head.

“…It’s Joo Hye-eun.”

“Eot. yes. Do you know someone? They say he is the original owner of Mihyangwon.”

“Mihyangwon is a small sect located in a neighborhood a bit far away from here, right? It’s a place famous for tea ceremony and history.”

When Hongryeon said something, Yuwol chuckled.

“I see. Mihyangwon. It’s Mihyangwon… haha. This is true. In a place like this…”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Yuwol quickly took on a characteristically indifferent expression and spoke indifferently.

After stroking Sayun’s head, he received the Sutra of Good and Evil, examined it here and there, and handed it over to her.

“In that case, all I have to do is show your face in the heart sutra.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“In order to do that, you have to practice until you reach the level of mental energy. Yerin. How long do you think it will take?”

“Well… Sayoon is training quite well. This is true. Because I am so good as a teacher, Sayun is learning well without any obstacles. hate! This talent of mine!”

Hongryeon smiled at her, who was flattered, and Geomseong frowned.

“What. Why.”

“No. How great it would be if you were even half as talented in other areas…”

“City, it’s noisy.”

Geomseong blushed and stretched out Hongryeon’s cheeks. Chaejin, who caught a glimpse of the friendly relationship between the priests, looked at Sayun with his arms crossed and said.

“Then, shall we take a look at your skills? Follow me to the backyard.”

I am definitely thankful that a master of Chaejin’s level looks at my skills. When Sayun thanked Chaejin, she giggled and shook her head.

“What are you doing with this much? Hehehe. now. Follow me.”

Chaejin is weak when it comes to compliments. Geomseong, who saw her pure white neck turning slightly red as she turned around, glanced at Yuwol and followed them. I think he plans to give advice in appropriate areas.

As they headed to the guesthouse’s backyard, Hongryeon grabbed Yuwol’s arm.

“The fate is so connected. I never would have thought that the relationship with the person I met there would help me so much.”

“If you accumulate good karma, isn’t the reward bound to come back?”

Yuwol laughed and headed to the backyard with Hongryeon.

***

Around evening, Sayun returned to Hongseongmun with Geomseong.

This was because, while sparring with Chae-jin earlier, I decided that Sayun’s herbivory was a bit mediocre.

After hearing that I would return to Hongseongmun and accelerate my training again, I returned to my office and continued my work.

While I was working long after finishing my dinner business, I heard a knock on the window.

“Please come in.”

“Hello. Teacher Yu.”

It was a post office door carrying two luxurious boxes.

Hongryeon and Chaejin looked at that and tilted their heads.

“What is that?”

Seeing that the auction house’s seal was stamped on it, it appears that the items were purchased through the auction house.

I opened the first box and took out the mirror object inside.

“Heart Sutra?”

“That’s right. Because there is a limit to the number of times Sayun’s heart meditation can be done. It’s better to take your time. Rather, is it just these?”

“Yes. And this…”

Uchemundo politely took out a letter from his pocket and held it out. After receiving it, I calmly read it and nodded.

“Please tell me I understand. And tell them there is no need to search.”

“Yes. Thank you always.”

As he left, Hongryeon and Chaejin looked at me. It looks like you’re curious what kind of book it is.

“Nothing much. I’m running a business at the post office, so I’m just asking for some advice later. Rather…”

I opened the rest of the boxes.

Contained inside was a picture of Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara.

Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara is one of the precious treasures that allows you to learn the Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara. It was a precious item belonging to the Buddhist family.

If you bring this to the Buddhist branch, especially Amipa or Botamun, you can learn their martial arts, but… it was a piece that had little to do with me.

Hongseongmun and Moonwoljeong are Taoists, so even if you get them, they are difficult to learn…

By the way, one mirror doesn’t really come out. At least Sayun got it, otherwise we would have had to take everyone to the secret area.

Anyway, now that I have obtained the Thousand Hands Avalokitesvara, the rest is…

“If you tell Sayoon, she will like it.”

I stopped thinking and nodded.

“It would be nice if you said that.”

I stared at the Heart Sutra and the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara in my hands.

okay. This is fortunate.

To me too.

To Sayoon too.

And to ‘another Sayun’.
