< Episode 93 Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge (4) >
Jeong Myeong-sai of the Hangsan Sect looked around with a surprised face.
‘What is this place?’
Everything is stained black and nothing can be seen.
I’m sure I was seeing something just a moment ago. What’s going on?
This was when she found this strange.
-Sreung!
The sound of a sword being drawn was heard from somewhere.
So she turned her head to where the sound came from.
There, a calm-looking old man with dark skin and burn marks visible here and there on his face was standing there, holding a sword.
Seeing this, the eyes of the Jeongmyeong situation in the Hangsan faction widened.
‘Amitabha Buddha. Could it be that the former Lord Jang… ah?’
No voice comes out.
It feels like something is ringing in my head, as if I’m thinking about it alone.
Then, rather than wondering about this, she had no choice but to pay attention to the old man in front of her.
After all, this old man was definitely him.
It was Gu Cheon-mu, the head of the Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge and a member of the Six Heavens, said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world.
‘How?’
I knew for sure that he hadn’t come out of the workshop yet.
But why is it in front of me?
It was such a puzzling moment.
-Pot!
At that moment, Gu Cheonmu suddenly swung his sword at her.
This was nothing more than a light sword.
But the moment she saw the stabbing sword, her mind became confused.
‘Unbelievable?’
This was because a lot of swordsmanship was seen in this simple move.
This was a very shocking sword for her, a swordsman.
However, her surprise was short-lived and she pulled out the sword she had on her waist, determined to block the sword coming at her.
-Sreung!
And in order to block this mystical sword, he unfolded Yeowonjishun (餘願止順), the fourth herbal form of the Hangshan Sect’s Byeokwon Seven-Six Sword (壁源七式劍).
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chach!
Her sword traced a graceful path, trying to block the oncoming sword attack.
however,
-Chaeang!
Her five-element sword couldn’t withstand the one-element sword and bounced away, and before she knew it, Gucheonmu’s one sword pierced the center of her chest.
-Poof!
“Turn it off!”
At that moment, she stumbled, clutching her chest.
“Jeongmyeong incident!”
Someone helped her.
He was none other than Mo Yong-hak, the eldest son of the Mo Yong family.
“Mo, Moyong give a gift?”
“situation. Are you okay?”
“What the hell is this…”
Her eyes widened.
Suddenly, the surroundings became brighter, and Gu Cheon-mu, who had stabbed him, disappeared right in front of his eyes.
I’m wondering what’s going on,
– Thick!
My heart ached, and a mysterious and mysterious sword took over my mind.
At that moment she realized.
What he saw was not reality.
Jeongmyeong Saeng’s eyes turned to the large monument in front of the cliff.
“situation?”
“Ahhh. indeed······. indeed······.”
She continued to exclaim.
Mo Yong-hak asked with an expression that he couldn’t understand her reaction.
“Why are you doing this?”
It was not she who answered this question.
Gu Woong-seong, the second son of Gu Jang-ju, answered with a proud look on his face.
“You took the test of the Lord. “I would say that those who experienced this received his teachings through imagery.”
“Did you say it was a mental image?”
“yes.”
Isn’t imagery literally the world of the mind that one enters when one reaches a trance?
So, does that mean that Jeong Myeong saw the writing on that stone tablet and had an image of it?
In response, Mo Yong-hak stared intently at the kendo sword play engraved on the stone tablet.
My heart felt refreshed as the grand spirit conveyed through the handwriting was conveyed.
But that was it.

‘Why?’
Jeong Myeong-sang said he fell into a mental state when he saw that, but why doesn’t anything happen to him?
I was puzzled, but Gu Woong-seong smiled and said.
“Hehehe. “It doesn’t work if you stare at it that intently.”
“what?”
“Jangju said that in order to accept the sword intention engraved on the stone tablet, one must have the minimum qualifications.”
“Minimum qualifications?”
“Yes, it is difficult for me to express this in words due to my lack of enlightenment, but it seems like a swordsman must have a high understanding of the sword in order to read the meaning of the sword.”
“······.”
-Wow!
Mo Yong-hak gritted his teeth at these words of Gu Woong-seong.
He was a member of the Six Dragons, who were called the best later exponents of the Justice Alliance.
He couldn’t help but feel hurt when he was told that his enlightenment, which he prided himself on having no rival in his age group, was at a level where even the sword’s meaning left on the stone tablet could not be read.
‘You don’t even have qualifications?’
As a blood descendant of a martial arts family competing for sword mastery along with the Namgung family among the seven great generations, he was even embarrassed.
Seeing him like this, Gu Woong-seong laughed inwardly.
In fact, he talked about qualifications and all, but it was not something for Mo Yong-hak to be ashamed of.
To reach a level where one can fall into a mental state when looking at the writing engraved by one’s father, one must reach a considerable level as a swordsman.
Even though Mo Yong-hak had outstanding military skills to the point of being called the Six Dragons, there was no way he could have reached the level of the Jeongmyeong incident that reached the level of an elder of a sect.
‘Don’t feel entitled. Among the people sitting here, there are not many who have reached mental state.’
Probably only less than half.
Like Mo Yong-hak, these people too had their pride shattered and were just sitting there trying to gain even a little bit of enlightenment.
Of course, only a very small number of people will get a glimpse of it.
Then the Jeongmyeong incident opened its mouth.
“Amitabha Buddha. It is truly a masterpiece. “It reminds me once again that the old Lord Jang’s mastery of the sword is close to the best in the world.”
“I’m just grateful that you said that.”
“It has reached a level that the poor monk cannot dare to touch.”
Jeong Myeong expressed his honest feelings.
Although she had a passion for martial arts, she had no desire to challenge herself as a Buddhist because she had no greed, but through this, she gained many enlightenments.
So I understood why so many people were hanging in front of that stone slab.
Even a little understanding of the sword’s will is enough, but a person who fully realizes it is no different from receiving enlightenment from one of the Six Heavenly Ones.
‘It’s a good thing. Seonjae. ‘I can’t believe I left behind this realization.’
Even if it was aimed at kendo and swordplay, it could be said to be a great distribution.
Thanks to this, even though I didn’t intend to, I was satisfied because I also gained a clue to enlightenment.
“ah!”
She was so moved by the sword that she had forgotten what to do, but suddenly remembered the reason they had come here.
The purpose was to visit Ji-oe and Gok-o and get advice.
She, who had never actually seen them, soon asked Gu Woong-seong.
“Gu Siju. “Where are Ji-oe and Gok-oh?”
They must have been among those in front of the stone slab, but it was difficult to tell who they were just by feeling whether they were all meditating.
In response to this question about the Jeongmyeong situation, Gu Woong-seong tried to inform us of this.
“iced coffee. “The two seniors are over there…”
Then, someone in front of the stone slab stood up.
-widely!
The person who stood up like that suddenly burst into laughter like crazy.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
The laughter resonated so loudly that most of those who were sitting still woke up from their thoughts and raised their heads.
As the Jeongmyeong incident also looked at him with puzzlement, Goo Woong-seong spoke.
“It’s so special.”
“Is it elaborate?”
“This is senior Jie Oe.”
“ah!”
He was an older man who appeared to be in his mid-fifties. Unusually, he had black hair, but his beard and eyebrows were gray.
“The person next to me wearing a graduation cap is senior Gok-oh.”
Next to Jieu, who was bursting into laughter, there was someone wearing a graduation cap shaking his head.
Only the back was visible, so when I looked at the side, it looked like I was about the same age as Ji-oe, but the lower part of my head was slightly protruding.
So, thinking that the Jeongmyeong situation was going well, I tried to call the two people.
“ji······.”
But that was before I even called him.
“I will break your sword this time. Gu Zhuangzhu!”
-Pot!
Jieu suddenly flew his new form upward and immediately swung his sword towards the cliff beyond the stone slab.
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chak!
Sword energy arose from his sword and created sword marks on the wall of the cliff.
The sword marks left behind letters like strokes,
Kendo (kendo)
The writing continued until then.
This was identical to the writing engraved on the stone tablet.
Jioe, who had even engraved the sword, then engraved the sword (劍) and attempted to write the remaining character, Geuk (極).
-Wow!
However, as soon as he drew a single stroke on the side of the character mok (木), his new form lost all its strength and fell to the bottom.
-Park!
The foreigner’s expression became horribly distorted.
‘Ahhh.’
Jeong Myeong-sae sighed internally without saying it out loud.
The moment he carved words on the cliff with his sword, I couldn’t help but be amazed.
This was because it contained a mysterious will to the sword that was almost equivalent to the will of the sword left behind by Gu Cheonmu Jangju.
I was so excited about what would happen once it was completed.
But it was never completed.
‘It’s a shame. If I had completed that sword, my swordsmanship would have been equal to or greater than that of the former Zhou.’
But it didn’t seem easy.
The fact that the last letter was only one stroke meant that there was still a gap.
-Gurgling!
Blood flowed from the corner of Jieu’s mouth.
He slammed the sword he was holding on the floor as if he was angry.
-Poof!
“Damn it!”
Gogo said, looking at him spitting out harsh words.
“terrain. “You’re too hasty.”
“What do you mean by hasty?”
“How can you be so hasty in challenging the former lord with an unfinished sword?”
“Hmm.”
Hearing his scolding, Jiue cleared her throat as if she was embarrassed.
Although Jieu had nothing to say, he was so impatient that when he got the slightest hint of enlightenment, he could not bear it and challenged him.
“It won’t be long. “By the time I complete my Fourteen Swords, I will surpass that Sword Master.”
“phew. “Isn’t it too careless to use one sword, two swords, and three swords every time you complete one chosik?”
“What do you mean by insincerity? What is important is the will of the sword. There is no point in giving it a grandiose herbivorous name.”
“That’s why swordplay isn’t monotonous.”
“Didn’t you say that complexity isn’t good?”
Before they knew it, the two were arguing about the type of kendo they were pursuing.
The inspectors around him looked at the tombstone again, as if they were familiar with it, and tried to get into their minds.
Gu Woongseong shrugged his shoulders and said.
“It happens often. “The two of you have been here for such a long time that you’re in a difficult position.”
“Amitabha Buddha. Yes, it seems. “Anyway, I apologize to my two seniors, but I guess I’ll have to step in to get help.”
“Please do so.”
“Confucius Moyong, please go…”
-Startle!
At that time, Jeongmyeong frowned without speaking.
Mo Yong-hak was puzzled by her attitude and called out.
“Jeongmyeong incident?”
In response to the call, Jeongmyeong Sae-sang held out his hand and asked Gu Woong-seong to wait for a moment.
“The former mayor… “I’m sorry, but who is this person?”
“You mean it’s him?”
Gu Woong-seong was puzzled by that question and turned his gaze in the direction she was looking.
The place she was looking at was where the tombstone was.
In front of them, Ji-e-eul and Gok-o were arguing loudly, and before they knew it, someone with an unfamiliar appearance was approaching them.
‘uh?’
Although I couldn’t see his face because of his back, the reason why Gu Woong-seong seemed unfamiliar was simple.
That was because the stranger was wearing a sword on his waist.
‘Dorani?’
In any other place, it would not have been strange to have a Tao.
But this place is Geogok.
It was a place called the Holy Land of the Sword.
The only people allowed here were inspectors who had permission.
‘what? ‘How on earth did they get in?’
Ji-e and Gok-oh, who were puzzled and arguing, soon stopped and naturally turned their heads to the side.
When they turned their heads, their expressions became strange.
‘no?’
‘What about interest?’
The reason they made that facial expression was because no one noticed him as he approached.
Ji-oe and Gok-o were great swordsmen who were confident that no one in Yeonggeom Lodge could be their opponent except Gok-ju.
From their perspective, it was naturally surprising.
Then, the unknown person opened his mouth.
“How dare you discuss the extremes of something like a sword.”
Jieu was dumbfounded by his arrogant tone of voice.
Even if it was true that he approached without warning, what on earth is this guy saying such arrogant things?
‘huh? do?’
Then he discovered the sword worn on the waist of an unknown person.
What the hell is this guy?
How did you get here with the Tao?
I was just about to ask this out of curiosity.
“Ibo…”
-Startle!
At that moment, Ji-e and Gok-o both jumped backwards at the same time due to an eerily sharp anticipation.
At the same time,
-Wow!
The sound of cutting something was heard.
The two swordsmen’s heads turned to the side after avoiding the sharp energy.
Their eyes were shaking like crazy.
-Blah blah blah! thud!
In front of them, the monument to Kendo Sword Geuk, which symbolizes the sacred place of the sword, was split in half and split apart.
At that sight, all the swordsmen sitting in front of the monument couldn’t help but stand up in shock.
Their eyes, which were initially shocked, soon turned into anger.
This was the same for Ji-oe and Gok-o.
Gogo said with anger in his voice as he drew his sword and aimed it at him.
-Sreung!
“What on earth are you? “How could you come in here and commit such an outrageous act?”
“I am giving credit for cutting down a tombstone with this level of swordsmanship engraved on it… “It’s ridiculous.”
“What?”
-Chaeang!
It was before Gok-oh could say anything.
With a flash of light, his sword split apart and fell to the floor.
-Changerang!
Gok-Oh’s eyes were shaking like crazy at the enormous strike.
‘······Unbelievable.’
He had never even been seen wielding a sword.
Looking at him, a man with dark eyebrows and a strong look said with a sneer.
“Only the sword can discuss the extreme.”
