Chapter 235
The subsequent training of the Jeokcheon River was simple.
Get some horse training under the waterfall, do push-ups, get some bird eggs if you want to eat them… … .
It’s okay up to this point. The problem was the option that was included in each training session.
“Mabo six o’clock.”
“Are you kidding?”
“Does this sound like a joke?”
Shoot Aaaaa!
It is a waterfall pouring down hundreds of sheets.
Even I, who has an excellent body, was in pain as if my whole body had been broken, and my eyes were confused.
But it’s six o’clock. Even with a mabo.
“Noah, this is not a big deal. If you stay in there for six hours, you will really die.”
“Have you tried it?”
“yes?”
“Try it and tell me. If you don’t like it, go back to your family.”
It took ten full days to complete the quest.
I lost consciousness for a while due to the aftereffects, and when I opened my eyes again, the weight of the iron ball had increased.
“Add a hundred pounds. From now on, we will increase it to twelve o’clock.”
At this point, I thought about logging out for a while.
However, the training had to be finished. It may look foolish in someone’s eyes, but it was the rule I set when I started training.
‘When I go back, my body and mind are relaxed.’
Wow!
The pressure of the falls was terrifying. In a situation where my air power and physical ability were limited, I had to endure with only my body and mental strength.
When I finally finished the waterfall training, what I faced was a lower body that was harder than steel and an unexpected system notification.
– Successfully completed [Fire King’s Hellfire Training-2]!
– Achieved an outstanding achievement, [Immediately]!
-[Fitness] changes to [Patience]!
– Level up!
– Level up!
– Obtained 50 bonus points. Training continued. No break time was given.
Everything was part of the training except for one hour of honey-like sleep a day.
“Next is push-ups.”
“That’s too easy, wait. How many times?”
“Ten thousand times. Put the iron ball you are holding on your back.”
It was the most hellish push-up in the world. But I gritted it and made it.
On the day Jeokcheongang did all kinds of push-ups he wanted, the first sprouts of the year were sprouting from the ground.
“It is a warm day. I want to eat swallow’s nest dishes, so get them.”
“Aren’t swallows migratory? It should come when it gets warmer.”
“Where’s the guy you don’t even know! The old woman lived her whole life on Mount Jiuhua. By this time, a few impatient swallows should be building their nests.”
“Where can I see it?”
“Cliff.”
It was the quest that took the longest time. Because I had to find a swallow’s nest that I didn’t even know where it was.
Before I knew it, I was snagging all the cliffs of Mt. Jiuhua with a bunch of iron balls hanging from it.
And finally, he found a newly built bird’s nest that had just been completed and took it to Jeokcheongang.
“Here you are. Swallow’s house.”
One word he muttered after a long silence was enough to break my patience.
“… … This is real.”
“You old dog!”
With my eyes wide open, I rushed at Jeokcheongang and was beaten to the point of not dying.
It was only natural that the weight of the steel ball had increased when he regained consciousness.
“If you wake up, move quickly.”
“Is this a new practice?”
“It’s a new training. In a sense.”
Jeokcheongang pushed a crazy timetable.
It contained everything that had been done so far.
“Three round trips to Jiuhua Mountain in the morning, 10,000 push-ups each with one arm at lunch. Mabo at the waterfall after riding the cliff… … Human, are you crazy?”
“If you don’t like it, add 500 jin.”
“To be honest, I wanted to spend every day like this for a long time. I’ll be right back.”
“OK.”
After that, I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
I wanted this to work, but when I tried it, it worked.
Originally, when the body is tired, the day is shortened. The more intense the training, the faster time passed.
The frozen ground thawed and buds sprouted.
Two months have passed, but my work has not changed. The only thing that had changed from the beginning was the tighter training and the weight of the iron ball.
Sseuseuk.
Flowers and grasses that had grown quickly grazed my calves.
Jeokcheongang, who had fallen asleep with his back leaning against a tree on the colorfully colored peak of Jiuhua Mountain, opened his eyes.
“Is that your guy?”

“Is there anyone else who will come to visit me?”
“I thought it was the grim reaper.”
“I think even the grim reaper will run away in fear.”
Jeokcheongang laughed at my joke.
“As the days go by, only flattery is increasing.”
Yes, Noya has increased her sleep.”
Like I said, Jeokcheongang has been sleeping a lot lately. I didn’t know that it was natural since I’m older.
“I was training.”
“aha. In a dream?”
“I was just closing my eyes.”
“I hear you’re snoring.”
“… … Uhm, by the way, how is training here?”
“It is finished.”
“already?”
Jeokcheongang’s pupils widened slightly.
“I didn’t smoke nonsense, so don’t be suspicious.”
“Who said what? Okay, so shut up and trim your fists.”
“yep.”
I answered quickly and took a stance in an empty lot not far away.
Unlike spearmanship, I was no different from a beginner in fistfighting, so I was working on the basics.
“You know what to do?”
“Yes, yes.”
belt ring.
– A recurring quest, [Kwonkaku Training] has been created.
The beginning is the simplest regime stabbing. Each movement has a crazy number of 1,000, but it was easy compared to the previous ones.
‘This is easy, I’m going crazy too.’
I took a deep breath and started punching.
Huong, Fang!
The wind split along the fist and the compressed air burst out.
In the past, if you simply prayed for strength, speed, and air power, you can now control precise movements and appropriate power.
Charleureuk!
No matter how many times I heard the chain connected to my wrist swing, I heard a system notification piercing my ears as I restlessly thrust my fist into an imaginary dot.
belt ring.
– You have successfully completed the repeatable quest [Kwonkaku Training]!
– Perfect motion with no error!
-[Strength], [Stamina], and [Agility] stats increase by 1!
– You haven’t learned Kwonjuk yet. Additional rewards will be given for learning related martial arts in the future!
The rewards given by repeating quests were great. Although the level of compensation has decreased over time, it is still a level of appreciation.
Can you do this a couple more times?’
How to get a reward by completing a quest.
I relaxed and approached Jeokcheongang. He was leaning against the tree as before, looking this way.
“Noya, it’s all over.”
“Noya.”
“Ugh huh?”
Awake, he looked up at me.
“What’s going on?”
“I finished all the Kwon Gak training.”
“What do you end up with?”
“Kwon-gak training. Kwon-gak!”
“Willing, what do you mean by that?”
“You ordered it earlier, about an hour ago.”
“what?”
Jeokcheongang narrowed his forehead.
“When is the old lady?”
“yes?”
“What are you saying suddenly? The old lady was watching with both eyes wide open here.”
No, what the hell kind of situation is this.
I asked with an absurd heart.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“What?”
“Are you doing this on purpose to make me practice more? I thought I would do more even if I didn’t have to do this.”
“What nonsense is this guy talking about…!”
Jeokcheongang, who had been very angry, suddenly shut his mouth.
Unknown emotions passing over his wrinkled face in an instant. He had been silent for a while before opening his mouth.
“A quick-witted guy. If you know, go ahead and hone your fists.”
Tirling, a notification popped up that a quest had been created, but I didn’t move a single step.
Looking at the sea at the Jeokcheon River, I abruptly parted my lips.
“Noah. This is just a question.”
The old gray eyes of Jeokcheongang trembled.
No way, this is the moment when your guess turns into certainty.
“Are you sick, by any chance?”
It was difficult to explain easily, so I expressed it in a roundabout way, but it was clear that he understood the meaning of my question.
After the suffocating silence passed, a word like a sigh flowed from between Jeokcheongang’s lips.
“… … follow me We have somewhere to go together.”
Dementia (癡?).
Even in modern times when magical medicine has developed, dementia is in the realm of complete incurability.
It can only slow down progress, but everyone is equal before the curse of the years.
‘Why didn’t I know.’
If you think about it, there was definitely a precursor.
Sleep time was increasing day by day, and I felt the same forgetfulness several times before.
Still, there was no doubt because he was not an ordinary old man.
‘The King of Fire, Jeokcheongang.’
I didn’t think that he, a master of martial arts who reached the sky, would be suffering from old age.
Perhaps that was a fact that Jeok Chun-gang himself wanted to deny.
“The history of the text goes back hundreds of years.”
Jeokcheongang’s voice echoed inside the cave.
The inside was sweltering like a wet sauna, and the deeper you went inside, the more the heat increased.
It’s been more than two months since I’ve been in Jiuhua Mountain, but I’ve never been there before.
“Gaepa Sajo (開派師祖) was the best man in the world at the time. However, because of his outspoken personality, he had many enemies.”
The calm voice continued like flowing water.
It was the beginning of Yeolhwamun and the station until now.
From the first Munju to the 17th Munju, the teacher of Jeokcheongang.
Some of them went to Murim and made a name for themselves all over the world, while others were buried in the early night of their lives and quietly nurtured successors.
In the past hundreds of years, countless munpa have disappeared, but Yeolhwamun has continued its existence.
“Even that became unpredictable in Nobu’s generation. Everyone is the result of inner virtue.”
When I stopped walking after one meal, my whole body was drenched in sweat.
It was because of the heat radiating from the other side of the stone gate covered with moss.
“This place… … “
“Yeolhwadong. This is where the text begins and continues.”
Jeokcheongang, who had been looking at the stone gate for a while with an emotional expression, touched the surface with the palm of his hand.
The moment the Yeolyang Keeper flowed through his fingertips touched the stone gate, the sun pattern inscribed in detail glowed and the tightly closed stone gate opened.
“… … her.”
Feeling possessed, I looked inside Yeolhwa-dong.
The space is several times larger than the training building of Taewonjinga. Seventeen pots were placed around a bluish-white flame.
It wasn’t too difficult to guess the identity of the jar.
‘The successive gatekeepers of Yeolhwamun.’
Perhaps it is their urn. As I guessed, Jeokcheongang immediately bowed to the pots.
“The disciple of Bulcho, Jeokcheongang, is meeting the ancestors.”
Then he got up from his seat and gestured towards me.
“Come in.”
“Ah, yes. Excuse me.”
As soon as I carefully entered Yeolhwa-dong, a system notification pierced my ears.
belt ring.
-You have entered [Yeolhwa-dong]!
-[Yeolhwamun]’s effect is amplified when you learn the martial arts!
– Your zealous keeper reacts fervently!
– The ban on [Air Power] is lifted!
woo woo
After waking up from a long slumber, Dantian’s gong power spread out to the White Sea.
Seeing my surprised expression, Jeokcheongang opened his mouth as if he had already expected it.
“Your gongpower comes from the Delightful Shrine, and it is natural that you react to Yeolhwadong.”
Found the root, right?
It’s a strange feeling. My heart skipped a beat as the gong-power fluctuated like a living creature. It was the first time in my life that I felt familiar with this space.
“Sit down.”
We sat facing each other across the flame.
The face of Jeokcheongang, seen through the bluish-white flames, was very old.
“I will pass on the martial arts of the text.”
“……!”
“Why, did you think I would ask you to become a disciple?”
“To be honest… … Yes, that’s right.”
“Master and disciple are not made out of necessity or coercion. Moreover, the old man is already suffering from old age. This will be a great danger to you too.”
Jeokcheongang’s words were completely correct.
If he confuses the structure of the Nae Gong Sim law, if he forgets even one letter, I will cross an irreversible river.
The river of death, or the river of death.
“Can you learn martial arts from me like this?” “I took a deep breath.
After much thought and thought, I finally came to a conclusion.
“I’ll do it.”
“I will say one more time… …
“I believe in Noya. That’s enough.”
At that moment, indescribable emotions surfaced on the face of Jeokcheongang, who was speechless.
A smile soon spread across his wrinkled lips.
“That part is the same as me.”
One-man victory, non-man incompetence.
It is a deterioration gate that has been passed down for hundreds of years to only one person, a talented person who is not capable of doing evil.
The fact that Jeokcheongang brought me here to Yeolhwa-dong meant that he already trusted me.
‘The King of Fire, Jeokcheongang, trusted me and chose me. I want to pass on everything in Yeolhwamun.’
My heart was filled with that fact. As if he had noticed my feelings, the blue-white flames flickered wildly.
belt ring.
– The quest [Heir to Deterioration] has been created!
Along with the system notification, Jeokcheongang reached out. At the same time as the void submerged object was displayed, the lid of the dark metal box that rose from the flames was opened.
I read the title of an old book that fluttered before my eyes.
“Fire God’s Art… … “
I instinctively noticed The fact that this is the basis of Yeolhwamun and martial arts.
Jeokcheongang got up from his seat and stood tall behind me.
“I’ll start right away, so sit cross-legged and close your eyes. From now on, follow the rules that Nobu tells you.”
I followed his words and closed my eyes. Blue-white flames seemed to flicker in the blackened field of view.
And finally, the voice of Jeokcheongang pierced my ears.
“What about Kwon Gak training?”
“… … yes?”
“I’m done training and goofing around… … oh, what a f*cking surprise It’s a heat wave here. what is this.”
“……!”
Ah, f*ck. dementia… … .
After that day, the two people who made Jiuhua Mountain noisy for a while disappeared.
While they were gone, trees sprouted green leaves, flowers bloomed, and swallows built their homes on the cliffs.
From blue-green (靑綠) to autumn leaves (丹楓), and then white snow (白雪).
Until Jiuhuashan changed clothes three times.
