Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province!

Taiwon may or may not be a very meaningful land for the Qing Dynasty.

Because, the hometown of the Korean people, the spiritual root of the Qing Dynasty, and the new city where Grandfather Dangun settled, is Taewon!

There are imbeciles who claim that.

According to the opinion of these imbeciles, the first hometown of the Korean people, Shinsi, is this Taewon land, and the shocking fact that Jolbonseong, the former capital of Goguryeo, was this Taewon.

It is said that the square fortress surrounding Taewon is the grand technological prowess of the Goguryeo people.

You can tell just by listening to it once how persuasive this idiot’s argument is, based on scientific evidence and historical data.

It is said that Dangun settled Shinsi between Baeksan (mountain) and Heuksu (river).

Surprisingly, the land of Shanxi, where Taiwon is located, has mountains and rivers!

What’s even more surprising is that the river’s name is Black Water!

What’s even more surprising is that the name of the mountain is not Baeksan!

But why is Shinsi called Taewon?

Originally, there was also Baeksan, but it is claimed that the Chinese people hid and erased the name Baeksan in order to hide the brilliant history of the great Hwan Empire people.

Although there is no evidence, it used to be Baeksan!

In fact, just 15 days south, there is a land that was warmest and most abundant for humanity at a time when the world was much colder and harsher than it is now.

Nevertheless, it does not explain why they had to crawl up to the colder north, and why they crawled towards the land that was blocked in all directions because there were mountains on both sides and mountains in the north as well.

We can assume that it is probably unknown because it is not depicted in the watermelon diagram.

In any case, without even knowing it, Qing had reached the (possibly) birthplace of my spiritual nation.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel any significant heart pounding.

In any case, it may be because Cheong’s body has little to do with the Korean race.

anyway.

There is Yurim in Taewon.

Of course, it was not present in the history of Qing’s homeland.

Originally, it should have enjoyed its heyday and settled in the imperial palace.

But not only does Cheong not know the details of such differences, but in a world where people fly by holding on to the energy of nature, what does it matter whether Yurim is in Taiwon or Hangzhou?

The established theory is that as the current imperial family gradually distanced itself from Confucianism, the Confucian powers that were displeased with it settled down in places that were close but far away.

Taiyuan is close to Beijing, but in fact, it is only close and actually far because you have to go all the way around through Henan in the south.

Although it may be far away because it is far away from us, it is a location choice that reflects Yulim’s wish to be appointed and used again and to receive attention from up close.

And the headquarters of such Confucianism, the Academy.

The guard guarding the entrance to the academy sees a rather strange visitor.

It is a tall woman wearing a cotton hat, and a small child holding her hand tightly.

The little child continues to look around in wonder, then looks up at the older woman and licks her little mouth.

Of course, if you look at it like this, they look like an ordinary mother and daughter on a trip.

What was strange was that both women were wearing swords.

The sword worn by a small child is large compared to its body, reaching up to its ankles, and the sword worn by a large woman is large enough to reach its ankles.

what? Murim mother and daughter?

Isn’t it an unusual word that doesn’t stick in the mouth even when Wisa thinks about it?

Now that I think about it, of course all martial women have mothers, and I wonder what’s special about a mother and daughter walking around holding hands.

Still, it is somehow an extremely rare sight.

Still, it seems that there is a good fortune that one has heard of when one is a member of the academy, so why does the picture of a mother and daughter look strange just because they are martial people? Why is it considered rare just because the mother and daughter are wearing swords in the scene where they are out for a walk? What is it, and why does it seem like it’s been ten o’clock since I started work, and the sun’s position hasn’t changed even an inch?

In fact, rather than a reflection, it was just a shallow idea to kill time. In the midst of becoming a wise man who has forgotten time, where am I so absent-mindedly-

“Hey?”

When I came to my senses, the mother and daughter were right in front of me.

The guard suddenly came to his senses and spoke solemnly.

“Huh, hmm. This is Taehak of the Academy. It is also a large cradle where scholars from all over the world gather to grind jade and make needles. What is your business?”

“Madam? Well, anyway. I came to see the elder of Siganghaksa Temple. Is there an elderly person inside?”

“The senior citizen is currently attending the morning lecture. What’s going on?”

“Ah, my name is Seo Mun-cheong, and I am a disciple of the elder Cheon Yu-hak. I came to see Master.”

The weaver looks intently at the blue cotton thread, and eventually comes to the conclusion that even if he looks, he cannot see the inside.

As Cheong tilts his head, wondering why he is like this, the guard finds it difficult to open his mouth.

“Huh, ma’am? Mr. Siganghaksa has never said that he teaches women. There must have been some mistake… … ”

This is why Seomun Surin refers to the Academy in a disparaging way as Confucian bastards.

“Ah. right. Just a moment.”

The woman skillfully turns the bag to the front, rummages through it, and pulls out a bundle of freshly folded, crumpled, and dented correspondence.

Then, after unfolding it well, it is presented to the guard.

When the guard received it and unfolded it, it read, ‘Seo Mun-cheong, the favorite disciple of Shi Ganghak Cheon Yu-hak, receives a call from his teacher.’ And the four-letter red stamp of Si-gang Tae-hak boomed.

Only then did the guard bow his head.

“Excuse me. I’ll take you inside.”

Even if the Emperor comes to visit during the lecture, you have to wait.

Cheong didn’t even ask if he could go see Master, but the guard told him about it on his own.

These were words full of pride from the academy, which was once the crown prince’s teacher and also the emperor’s teacher.

So, as I was sipping tea while looking at the well-decorated artificial waterway, I suddenly heard a loud commotion.

“Ah. I guess it’s over.”

Sure enough, people are pouring out of the largest building in the center of the wide artificial waterway.

Each and every one of them had a face filled with a feeling of freedom similar to liberation, with a bright smile typical of those who have endured something.

I had no idea how so many people could keep their mouths shut so quietly.

I stand in front of the stairs and check to see if the teacher is passing by.

The morning lecture is finally over, and now the bachelors, who were whispering about what to eat for lunch, look at Cheong with angry expressions.

What kind of woman is this in the middle of the academy?

It’s not a forbidden area, but why are you standing guard in front of Taehakdang?

But he’s really tall.

What’s next? Is it your daughter?

But a gentleman does not become obsessed with women.

It was curious and fascinating, but no man bothered to ask, so it just split left and right and passed behind.

Then, Cheong finally shouted loudly.

“Master!”

Cheon Yu-hak was making eye contact with several men and walking down the stairs.

Cheon Yu-hak’s head turns at the sound of Cheong’s voice, and a wide smile blooms on his face.

“Oh my, my disciple. Are you here now? If you come, you can go to the contest hall, say hello, and listen to the contest together. Why are you waiting at the end of the stairs like Haitai?”

“Hehe. During the lecture, it was said that even if you are the emperor, you should not behave carelessly.”

“That’s right, he is the Son of Heaven. If you ask to learn, a lecture is something that anyone can listen to together.”

“Hehe. Actually, the lecture was a bit… … . Ah, this is my younger brother, Jin Jang-myeong. Jang Myung-ah, greetings. My teacher, Cheonyuhak, is an elder.”

“Hello.”

“Okay. How are you, little Sojeo? I said it was already past time to come, but there was no news. Nothing special happened on your way here, right? Have you eaten?”

“Hehe, I was going to eat with you, Master. Do you know the best restaurant in Taewon? My disciple is serving me very well today.”

“After coming a long way, the teacher must first feed the disciple a meal. If he gets it, will he use it? So, let’s go home for now.”

The Academy’s bachelors exchanged glances with each other.

Jackpot case!

Sir Siganghak has a woman as his disciple!

The solemn Si-ganghak Master was also such a welcome disciple and favorite disciple that his smile was in full bloom.

hmm? But what is a knife?

Are you saying that he had a martial artist as his disciple?

It’s not uncommon for women to wear swords for camouflage because it’s dangerous to walk alone, but isn’t it a great sword for something like that?

But the people who had the correct answer to that question were already leaving the place with a sigh.

Everyone will be able to use their imaginations at lunch today.

anyway.

Cheon Yu-hak’s house was a huge Siheyuan, a mansion that looked as if it had been pulled out by pressing on the corners of the Siheyuan.

Cheong asks back with a sour expression.

“eng. Master, are you doing well?”

“Dude. How can a person study if he or she is hungry and is about to starve to death? If making a living is not the problem, you can read the scriptures comfortably. I am the greatest teacher of the world, and the reason I am pounding around like this is because my family is rich. Because my family has a lot of money, the only thing I did when I was young was study writing.”

Jin Jang-myeong’s eyes widen and he looks up at Cheon Yu-hak.

This was because Cheon Yu-hak’s tone of voice became harsh as soon as he entered the house.

“Something like Hyeongseoljigong? Am I right? Wasn’t there something like that?”

Firefly type, snow snow.

Chayun, a man from Dongjin, collected fireflies and read them in the light, and was even given a high official position as Sang Seo-ryeong.

During the same period, a man named Son Kang succeeded in reaching the high office of magistrate by reading texts in the light of the moon reflected in his eyes.

I guess you could say why not just turn on the lamp?

Since I didn’t have money to buy gas, I read books at night in this inexpensive way.

In other words, it can be said to speak highly of the efforts made to study despite great difficulties such as poverty.

In response, Cheon Yu-hak makes Heng’s characteristic wind-leaking sound.

“What did Cha Yoon and Son Kang do after studying so hard and getting to government positions? In the end, he became a corrupt official who took advantage of the people. It is a horn that becomes a big person, a big dog. It’s not that I set my sights on studying itself, but that I chose to study so that I can get into government positions and take advantage of others.”

Cheon Yu-hak clicked his tongue and continued speaking.

“For them, studying was not about becoming a big person, but was just a means to earn wealth and take revenge on poverty. So, studying should be done by rich people. Otherwise, the purpose of studying will not be the perfection of one’s self, but the pursuit of wealth.”

“Ohh.”

To Cheong’s exclamation, Cheon Yu-hak adds with a sound that is unclear whether it is laughter or ridicule.

“Why do you think this is not something a Confucian scholar would say?”

“No. I don’t know about that, but since the teacher said that, I feel like he is a true learner.”

“This guy.”

“But it doesn’t matter because my teacher is not the solemn Shiganghaksa teacher but an elder from Cheonyuhak, right?”

I didn’t come to learn from Shiganghaksa, but from Shintu.

At Qing’s words, Chen Yuxue’s expression became mean.

“Do you really think that way?”

“Really?”

“The Great Master (大師, Seomun Surin) communicated and said that your head is no different from a rock on the side of the road. Still, since I had memorized the basic pagan scriptures, he earnestly asked me to teach him some Confucianism throughout this year. But, disciple, Confucianism is a bit too much. Have you heard of the disciple hundred family?”

“En.”

“I thought you came here to have fun? Disciple, you came to study writing. Dude, I am considered one of the three greatest teachers in the world, but you, my student, must be ignorant to use it?”

“Eh, I haven’t heard anything like that… … ”

Cheong’s expression distorted.

Studying writing?

Studying writing!?

“Don’t be too jealous. Still, if you do it, it’s surprisingly fun.”

“Such fun doesn’t exist.”

“No, it’s true? Look at me.”

“That’s not why you became such a great teacher because only you can experience such fun. If everyone felt it, the rich master would have become a great teacher. I studied for fun and got something.”

“That’s right. In times like this, I don’t think I’m stupid. Are you the type who has good brains but doesn’t use them? Well, since this is something the Ambassador has asked for, there is nothing you can do about it no matter how much you try to avoid it. Come, now I see that little Sojeo here was bored studying writing, so he sent it to us so we could hang out together.”

Jin Jang-myeong blinks at him. I dreamed again,

Then, he let go of Cheong’s hand that he was holding tightly and looked into the distance.
