Episode 471In the Murim League (5)
âHeo-eok!â âHuh!â
âAre you here now?â
Kang Ryangâs body was completely wet with sweat as he was panting with both hands on his knees.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
âTake a deep breath. âWhen you have stretched your cardiorespiratory capacity to its limit, there are times when it is better to inhale and exhale loudly rather than using deep breathing.â
Kangryang couldnât even reply. In the first place, I wasnât in a state to say anything.
âDonât sit or lie down just because itâs hard. âThe priority is to get your breathing in order.â
Although he couldnât speak, Kang Ryang took a deep breath as Yeon Ho-jeong told him to do.
After repeating this a few times, my breathing quickly calmed down. As breathing is the core of Internal Qigong (Internal Qigong), the breathing control ability of Internal Medicine experts far exceeds the common sense of ordinary people.
Even taking that into account, Kang Ryangâs breathing control skills were quite impressive. Even Yeon Ho-jeong, who saw the end of physical training, thought it was surprising.
âIt was natural that we would lose.â
Kang Ryang tapped his leg. I really had no strength at all.
âNo matter how hard I try, the gap cannot be narrowed.â
âGwiyeongsinbo is a top-notch kyungsin art. You have shown me the end that can be reached in your state. âYou can be proud.â
âIf I canât get over the barrier of no end, then I canât catch up with my brotherâs speed no matter what?â
âThatâs another problem. âGwiyeongsinbo is fast and varied, but itâs not a martial art that focuses solely on running, is it?â
The reason why Gwiyeongsinbo is considered top-notch is because it is an excellent walking technique in itself.
Because it is such an outstanding walking method, it can be used as a spiritual method and is comparable to any spiritual technique in the world, but it was bound to be different from the new method that was created for running with determination and speed.
âTry modifying it yourself later. âImproving martial arts for speed will also be a great study.â
âAll right.â
âBut you did your physical training properly.â
Kang-ryang shrugged his shoulders.
âArenât all martial arts used with the body? âYou cannot see the end of your martial arts skills until your body is complete.â
âAccurate.â
Yeon Ho-jeong leaned his back against the tree. Even though he ran at such a fast pace for more than two hours, he did not break a sweat.
âLetâs take a break and then go. âDrink water.â
âyes.â
Even though I ran until I was exhausted, only some people asked me to rest.
But Kangryang did not complain. In the first place, the body of a martial artist who has developed internal energy is different from that of an ordinary person. Moreover, if you think that this is also an aspect of training, you should not have any problems even if you only rest for half an hour.
Kangryang controls breathing and exhalation through Ipgong (ç«å).
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the river with satisfaction, soon looked around.
âYouâve already passed Hanam.â
The Daebyeol Mountain Range can be seen in the distance.
Once you cross the mountain range, the Murim League is right in front of you. In fact, there were an incalculable number of people walking around on the street below.
In the past, there wasnât this much floating population. When the Murim League was established and the surrounding economy was revitalized, people naturally flocked to it.
Now, I felt that the foundation of the Murim Alliance had definitely become stronger.
âperhaps.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âThere may be enemy secrets or contacts in that area.â
It was an arduous task to find the enemyâs liaison without any information and only with the confidence that Sejak was there.
But it cannot be postponed. Information from within the Murim Alliance would be flowing to the enemy at any moment. Considering that, I had to catch Sejak as soon as possible.
Of course, you shouldnât be in a hurry. You shouldnât take your time, but it would be a big problem if Sejak hides away due to urgent work.
âWho on earth could it be?â
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
âAmong the many blessings, which of them is the three greatest gods? No, there is no guarantee that there will be only one Sejak.â
Whoever it was, he was truly a great guy.
Among Bonggong, there are many quick-witted and smart people. To carry out business activities among such giants without showing any signs of suspiciousness is beyond the capabilities of even a decent amount of skill.
Right now, even Yeon Ho-jeong doubted whether that would be possible.
âHe is an excellent person who has the ability to hide himself outside of his martial arts skills. Even more than an assassin.â
Speaking of assassins, Sima Xuan came to mind.
âWhat decision did he make? Would you like to join me? Or will we return to darkness again?â
In my previous life, I did not join hands with Sima Xuan. Even before he reached out in the first place, Sima Hyun had become a major player in the world of assassins and was active.
âIf you think about it, itâs really amazing.â
He killed the enemy of Yayul single-handedly and became the next generation of evil spirits and conquered the world of assassins.
Although Sima Xuan is clumsy now, his potential alone can be considered top-notch.
âThere are so many geniuses in the world.â
Gangryang, Yeonjipyeong, Mukbi, and Jeongan were also possessed of rare talents.
Will I be able to properly lead such talented people?
âolder brother.â
âhmm?â
âIt has already passed.â
âOh, I see.â
âWhat are you thinking like that? âAre you excited to come to the Murim Alliance after such a long time?â
âMy heart is pounding so hard that my blood pressure is rising.â
Kang-ryang chuckled.
âDoesnât your mouth start watering at the thought of catching it?â
âI plan to cook it with the right seasoning.â
Yeon Ho-jeong tapped the ground with his toe.
âNow, letâs go.â
âBut brother.â
âwhy?â
âWhy didnât you bring the Gwangryongbu? Well, there are black and white twin dragons and there are two dragons, so it doesnât really matter.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âIt happens once in a while. âYou should feel anxious when a familiar weapon disappears, but sometimes you just canât get your hands on it.â
Kang Ryangâs eyes shone.
âI canât reach the weapon⦠Have you gained some new insight?â
âI donât know, man. If thatâs the case, Iâd be happy, but even if itâs not, thereâs nothing we can do about it. âWhat can I do if I canât get my hands on it?â
âWill there come a time when I can no longer reach for my sword?â
âI donât know. âYou and I have different martial arts skills and different perspectives on the world.â
Yeon Ho-jeong tapped Kang Ryang on the shoulder.
âWhether there is a light dragon club or not, I can show off ten percent of my martial arts skills. âThatâs it.â
It was said to never let down oneâs guard.
Kang-ryang nodded.
âWell, you donât need the Gwangryongbu to catch Sejak.â
âEnough chit-chat. âLetâs go.â
âgreat.â
Paaaaang!
The two people kicked the ground.
With a new method, the speed does not drop at all like when you first ran.
âI canât get my hands on itâ¦â
Kangryang thought as he looked at Yeonhojeongâs back.
âMy brother is a great warrior. Thereâs no way that a warrior like that wouldnât have access to a weapon that was like an alter ego. Rather, it is normal to cherish and treat it more preciously.â
Nevertheless, Yeon Ho-jeong said that he could not reach out to Gwangryongbu.
It wasnât just that I didnât want to be touched. It is highly likely that the fact that the unmanned unit does not have access to weapons is a transitional period leading to another change.
Kang Ryang recalled a conversation he had with his father.
âThey say a prosecutor should never let go of his sword even if he dies. That seems to be true. Would a swordsman who can demonstrate his skills only by becoming one with the sword be able to use it only if he let go of the sword? However, it is said that when enlightenment deepens, there comes a moment when a sword is no longer needed.â
âYou donât need it?â
âA state where you can practice swordsmanship without holding a sword. A state where you can cut down your opponent without even swinging your sword.â
ââ¦!â
âI heard that when such a state raises its head and faces such a great state, people worry about the need for weapons.â
ââ¦.â
âOf course, it is a very far point for this father.â
Kang Ryangâs eyes wavered.
âSword of heartâ¦!â
It is unknown whether Yeon Ho-jeong has truly entered the deep-seated realm. Regardless of age or status, even Yeon Ho-jeong cannot give a definite answer, so it is unlikely to be a sword.
But if you are in the process of going down that path.
If so, Yeonhojeongâs growth would truly be impossible to express in words such as explosive.
âBrother, I donât often think about this⦠Please run a little slower. Even now, itâs hard to keep up.â
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.
âWhat are you doing? My posture is disturbed. âFocus and stick together.â
Kang-ryang chuckled.
âYes yes. Would you like it? âI have to catch up.â
âwhat.â
âDonât worry.â
* * *
âHmm.â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes lit up.
âItâs a clever trick. âI didnât even think about it that far.â
âI thought you would.â
âHuh, I thought so? âYou are starting to read Abbyâs mind.â
Mo Yong-yeonhwa said calmly.
âThey say that enemies you have bumped into a lot are like friends. âAs I started observing my fatherâs habits, I was able to read his thoughts later.â
âawesome. You are better than Abby. âI canât read your thoughts yet.â
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa did not reply at all.
She knew why her father couldnât read her habits and thoughts.
âNo, itâs not that you canât do it, itâs that you donât do it.â
For Mo Yong-gun, playing baduk was a way to organize his thoughts.
Donât try to beat your opponent. The idea is to organize your thoughts by doing different things depending on your mood and worries of the day.
My fatherâs enemy on this checkerboard was not himself. The father himself was the enemy.
Moyong-gun, who was staring intently at the checkerboard, soon burst into laughter.
âlost. âI canât remember the next move.â
âI guess I won.â
âYes, you won. But how many houses is this?â
âItâs six houses away.â
âWow. âIâm not the same, but your skills have improved tremendously.â
Prince Moyong asked as he removed the stone.
âHow do you feel? âHave you felt anything while playing Baduk?â
âPeople often say that. âThe world exists on a checkerboard.â
Mo Yong-yeon smiled bitterly.
âHonestly, I donât know. âIf life were really like baduk, I donât think it would be very fun.â
âWhy do you think that?â
âBecause you always have enemies.â
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
âyes. You can only play Baduk if you have an opponent. But life is different. âYou can pack as much as you want on your own.â
âStill, I learned a lot.â
âIf you want to learn in any field, there is nothing you canât learn. âYour martial arts skills have grown significantly recently, and it seems that Baduk has had a positive influence.â
Prince Moyong asked after removing all the stones.
âWhat do you do in the evening? If I have time, I can eat with Abby for the first time in a whileâ¦â
That was then.
âMatriarch.â
Moyong-gun turned his head towards the door.
âWhatâs going on?â
âA message has arrived from Zhugeâs military.â
âLetâs meet up?â
âyes. âI think itâs an invitation to dinner.â
Moyong grumbled.
âPeople really.â
Mo Yong-yeonhwa said with a smile.
âBye. âI can eat alone.â
âIâm sorry.â
âNo, father.â
At that time, the warriorâs voice was heard again outside the door.
âAnd the matriarch.â
âIs there anything else left to report?â
ââ¦They say he came.â
âhmm?â
âIt is said that the eldest son of Yeonga, the chief magistrate of Uijeong-gun, has just become deaf.â
For an instant, Mo Yong Yeon Hwaâs eyes became cold.
Moyong-gun buried his back in the chair.
âYouâre finally here.â
âShall we include a separate message?â
âIt is done. âHe will have to deal with his family first.â
Even though he said that, Moyongâs eyes suddenly changed.
âAre you here?â
I have a lot to talk about with him. In many ways.
Moyong-gun stood up from his seat.
ââ¦If itâs nothing special, I guess Iâll have to leave for dinner.â
