A few days after the late index selection contest ended.

The year passed and another new year dawned.

Baekwonsimbeop, Cheonwonsimbeop, and Ilhwicheongungeom were delivered to Seo Yi-ryeong and Jo Yong-sang. To be honest, it wasn’t a great sword technique, but it was a sword technique with good expandability, so it was a useful martial art until the two people found a proper martial art.

Ja So-gyeong tried hard to extract strength, but it seemed like there was no significant result.

Sometimes, I felt regret and conflict in the way he looked at me, but in the end, I didn’t ask him to tell me about enlightenment until the day I left Ronin Gaekjan.

Recruitment of experienced workers was also carried out, and in addition to Seo Yi-ryeong and Cho Yong-sang, the number of people wearing black lipstick increased one by one.

As usual, there was a long line of people waiting to submit a request in front of Rongin Gaekjan.

Along with new experienced workers, Seo Yi-ryeong and Yong-sang Cho also began accepting requests.

And as I welcomed the new year, I also went on a new trip.

“You have arrived.”

I got off the raincoat and looked at Yeonghwi Mountain.

…The place where I fell into this world of martial arts and came to my senses.

After looking at the interface window and accepting the fact that I had fallen into the world of martial arts, I gritted my teeth as I remembered that bastard from the reincarnation truck.

And I pledged to show how Ho Cheon-an, the most famous figure in the world of martial arts, can eat well and live well.

Well, I was immediately frustrated after opening the status window.

Suddenly, I wanted to see the status window, so I called up the status window for the first time in a long time.

————————————

When I looked at the ability score window, I felt new.

One year to wander the world before becoming a Sichuan ronin.

Since then, I have been active as a Sacheon Rongin for 7 years.

Two years of trying to get a clue to resolve the mixed blood and raise my level through various experiences.

Over the course of 10 years, I, whose average ability score was less than 5 points, developed to the pinnacle of ability.

“Is this the first place Eungong remembers?”

I nodded to Yeo Il-ye’s question.

I told my companions that I had amnesia. Because it was too complicated a story to reveal my true identity.

“I see…um.”

Yeo Il-ye chose her words for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to regain lost memories? I hope I can find a clue.”

“Yes! Whether it’s a memory or a clue, you’ll be able to find it in no time!”

Yeo Il-ye and Hyuk Gi-rin comfort me after losing my memory.

“Whoa, I did my own research, but there are no clues.”

Two years ago, when I was teaching gambling to an elder in Dangjiazhu, Black Cat took the time to research my past. I received the result when I met an old man in Mt. Jinggui, Yunnan, and reached a first-class level.

Two years have passed since then.

As more years passed, the clues would have become more blurred, and there was little chance that the black cat would be able to retrieve anything from further investigation.

It’s a difficult situation in one way or another.

“Well, I didn’t think it would be resolved in a day or two.”

But I felt at ease. In the first place, it was impossible to know whether there would be traces of my past on Mount Yeonghwi.

I just came here with the feeling that I was looking for clues from the beginning, starting from Mt. Yeonghwi.

I slowly walked up the mountain, recalling memories from ten years ago.

As I was slowly walking up the mountain, my memories slowly came back to me. I felt very strange that the memory of nothing, just walking down the mountain, remained in my mind.

Since I only remembered coming down the mountain, I had to keep looking back to see if I was there at that time, but somehow I succeeded in retrieving my memory…

I stood at the place where I fell into this world of martial arts for the first time.

….maybe.

“Um.”

10 years is enough time for rivers and mountains to change. To be honest, it was a long time ago, but I still felt like this was the place where I came to my senses.

“Is this this place? The place where Musa Ho’s memories began.”

“…I think so.”

Perhaps because I was at the starting point, I felt a strange feeling and looked around, but there was nothing special.

Tang Xiaoyeol said something.

“Why, are you not sure? If you don’t know, let’s take a walk today and then go back.”

“I guess so.”

We climbed the mountain and searched here and there until the sun set, but there were no clues.

The first day’s search ended somewhat in vain.

*** ***

Muin’s morning is early.

Rumbling.

Today again, while listening to the lively thunder of the cultivation practice, I finished praying and relaxed my lotus position.

After that, I immediately started working on my physical strength.

I put on the steel training vest that was carried on one side of the raincoat and warmed up until I was sweating profusely.

While doing physical training, I looked around and saw that my companions were also training in their own way.

“Why am I…ugh!”

“Bend tighter!”

“The waist is folded, folded!”

Everyone is working hard except for Dang So-yeol, who is being forcibly trained by Dang Do-yeon.

After the unknown elder disappeared, I continued training alone. I asked Hyuk Kirin, who should now be considered Hwakyung, if he could teach me, but Hyuk Kirin shook his head.

“There may be arrangements made by the elderly. Moreover, even if I were to teach them because I don’t know anything about Gyeongunmusimgong, I wouldn’t be able to say that it was a proper teaching.”

Ultimately, this means that now I have to pioneer my own path.

Rumbling!!

In order to perform the Gyeongun Musimgong, I raised Ilreoe and concentrated.

Gyeongun Musimgong was a martial art that was difficult to learn from birth.

First of all, all practice is based on repetitive learning, but the repetitive learning itself was difficult for Gyeongwoonmusimgong.

The basic point of Gyeongun Musimgong is to make the whole body’s internal energy into one flash and produce a single flash.

In other words, after practicing a few times, your internal energy is completely discharged and you cannot practice any more even if you want to.

So, where can you learn martial arts quickly?

Therefore, place a bolt of lightning in your body and concentrate your mind as much as possible. Because you can’t waste a valuable practice opportunity.

Gurgling!!

Feet separate with thunder. Little by little, I was getting used to controlling these sudden flashes of lightning.

Brain energy running through my body at a speed that should have escaped my body in an instant. In order to leave such brain energy in the body, all energy vessels in the body are used to circulate brain energy.

If you let go of the reins, they will be released in an instant and guide your horse’s brain and move your feet at the same time.

daily report.

And Ivo.

The second form of Chilleibangwibo, the Battle of Ssangyeonggak, unfolds. It appears to be taking the left, but in reality, it is a very simple trick to take the right, but when that simple trick unfolds at an overwhelming speed that cannot be handled, it becomes a season.

I momentarily calculated whether I could continue to the third step, Samyeonghwanhwi, but the energy of Illoe was already dissipating.

There has been a limit to how much light can be returned to the body.

Feeling lightning flashing throughout my body, I woven the lightning with my sword.

And then, the lightning strike of the single-pointed sword continued.

A destructive sword split the air.

After releasing the lightning strike for the last time, I caught my breath as I did it.

“Phew.”

A feeling of helplessness comes as the tension that was built up for a moment is released, and at the same time, a feeling of emptiness comes as the inner energy in the dantian becomes empty.

You can’t practice martial arts for a long time, but you can put all your effort into it in a short period of time…should I call this efficient or bad? You never know.

Anyway, after soothing my tired body and restoring my energy through the fortune-telling breakfast, the gloomy energy was completely pushed away and it was a clear morning.

We had breakfast with the group who had completed their respective training and discussed how to explore Yeonghwi Mountain starting today.

“According to my research, there is a high possibility that something was hidden in this area. No matter how many people live alone in the mountains, they are bound to have eyewitness accounts after living there for a long time, but there was no testimony that they had seen a person presumed to be their senior among the nearby villages or people who had been in and out of this area at the time.”

“Hmm. That could definitely be a clue.”

What the black cat said was one of two things. Either I lived here completely in hiding. Or maybe he visited Yeonghwi Mountain for some reason and collapsed.

There was no need to assume the second situation.

I just happened to fall on Mt. Yeonghwi and I wasn’t someone who lived near Mt. Yeonghwi? Then on what basis can I trace my past?

At least until new clues came out, we had to search under the assumption that I was hiding in Yeonghwi Mountain or nearby.

After finishing his meal, Tang So-yeol said while biting into the gombangdae.

“But it is also true that it is difficult. It’s not easy to properly search a mountain.”

“This is the only clue I have, so there is nothing I can do. The only way to do this is to look for traces of a hidden organ system or method.”

The search, like searching for a needle on a sandy beach, began.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed.

The group had been scouring Yeonghwi Mountain for three days, but there was no sign of any particular camp or organization.

There were still a lot of places left to search, but I couldn’t help but think more.

Does this body called Ho Cheon-an really have a past?

If the past really existed in the body called Ho Cheon-an, why did the owner of this body lie here?

“Phew.”

A sigh came out of my mouth. There is no cue to come out, so I just worry about worry after worry.

As I searched Yeonghwisan Mountain for the past three days, I keenly realized what it means to find the past of Hocheonan, the body I am writing about.

Until now, I have not thought deeply about this body called Hocheonan.

No, I was ignoring it.

Did I really steal the body of a person named Ho Cheon-an who existed in this world of martial arts?

If that were really the case, Ho Cheon-an before the age of 15 would have had a Ho Cheon-an life.

There must have been twists and turns in that life that caused the body to become full of impurities.

There must have been family and acquaintances with Ho Cheon-an.

Selling Hocheonan’s past also meant facing those facts head on.

Am I prepared to face that fact?

“Ah~ I don’t know.”

I sighed as my mind felt like it was going to explode. Reincarnation truck, you bastard… If you had left the system window behind, it would have been okay to leave a few words so you wouldn’t have to worry about this.

Suddenly, I felt jealous.

I didn’t enter this Hocheonan’s body because I wanted to, but it was because of that reincarnation truck guy.

It’s not a responsibility without pleasure.

No, it’s not even pleasure in the first place.

I have fallen into this world of martial arts and risked my life more than once, and I have suffered a lot, so why should I worry about this?

“Oh my, aren’t you Eun-gong?”

Could it be that he escaped the search area because his head was full of random thoughts? I ended up running into Yeo Il-ye.

Yeo Il-ye looked at my complexion and smiled slightly.

“You seem to have a very complicated mind.”

“Hmm….”

I smiled bitterly. It seemed like complex thoughts were revealed in his facial expression.

“It’s okay.”

Yeo Il-ye blurted out something unexpected.

“Everything Eungong has overcome so far has not been easy. Eungong has overcome all of those things. I have no doubt that Eunkong will get through this well.”

I looked at Yeo Il-ye in silence. Yeo Il-ye’s eyes were full of trust as she looked at me with a soft smile.

When I looked at those trusting eyes, I felt a sense of pressure.

Strangely enough, I felt my mind calming down.

“Um.”

I seem to be really simple too.

My heart slowly relaxes from the light comfort.

Yeo Il-ye’s smile became even brighter as if my thoughts were also visible on her face.

“I think it’s past time to descend. The night is early on the mountain, so it would be best to go down now.”

“Of course.”

As I went down the mountain with Yeo Il-ye, I saw the group preparing dinner. I looked at my companions again.

They were people who believed in me and went to the police station, stayed behind at the unknown elder’s camp, and are now here helping me search.

“Anyway, I’m going to come down and prepare dinner.”

“Dang Sojeo came down early and was playing!”

“Those who finish their work quickly should rest.”

“Haha, has my sister been unruly for a day or two?”

As I looked at the group bickering, my mind cleared a little.

My past was also the key to solving the clues to mixed blood, but did I decide to dig up my past just to solve the secret of mixed blood?

That wasn’t all.

Wasn’t it to answer the feelings expressed by Heukmyo and Yeo Il-ye a long time ago?

I must have been staring too hard, so the black cat looked back at me.

“…Senior? Is there something on my face?”

“No, no.”

I chuckled as I saw the black cat tilting its head as if it didn’t understand what was going on.

Seeing that, my resolve in my heart became a little stronger. It was because I felt like I had kept Heukmyo and Yeo Il-ye waiting for too long to just cry and avoid them.

“Let’s eat some rice!”

So tomorrow, I will shake off all harsh thoughts and work hard on the search.

With that in mind, I finished dinner and went to bed.

And in that dream.

I was running in a mountain.
