<-- Episode 65: Chapter 4 Not everyone bows their head when the strong wind blows (4) -->
Mujin asked Seolgung.
“How did this happen?”
Seolgung was unable to give any answer. No, she couldn’t.
How can I tell you that I came to kill Ham Ji-pyeong? Their original plan was for Seolgung to kill Ham Ji-pyeong and his wife while Muhae, Muwol and others worked with Mujin to subdue Jinmuwon.
They had a reason to kill Ham Ji-pyeong, and that fact had to be kept a secret.
Killing Ham Ji-pyeong was not that difficult. Because he had already lost all his martial arts skills and had no means of counterattack. But unexpectedly, Kwak Mun-jeong was protecting her mother and daughter. Because of that, there was a delay, and in the meantime, the wall collapsed.
It was misfortune for Seolgung, and luck for Ham Jipyeong.
When Seolgung failed to answer, Mujin asked Ham Jipyeong this time.
“Priest Mugung, how did this happen? Why are you here? “How long have I been looking for you?”
“me too… “I missed you, Mujin execution.”
Ham Ji-pyeong continued to shed hot tears. Major Ham, who did not know why, also cried.
Mujin couldn’t understand. His favorite priest was Ham Ji-pyeong. Ham Ji-pyeong also followed Mujin like his own brother. However, while he was in the closing training camp, Ham Ji-pyeong disappeared from the communal sect.
It is said that he was excommunicated after attacking priests under the influence of coinage. Mujin couldn’t believe that fact. No matter how much he was excommunicated, he had to at least let himself know about it. If only he had given the slightest consideration to his relationship with Ham Ji-pyeong.
Everyone kept quiet as if they had made a promise, and after that, Mujin was never able to see Ham Jipyeong again.
The moment Mujin saw Seolgung and Ham Jipyeong, he knew something was wrong.
In the eyes of Mujin, who was looking at Seolgung, life was young.
“Speak. “What’s going on?”
“Death penalty?”
“I told you to speak.”
“Well, I don’t know anything. “I just did what the harmless death penalty told me to do.”
Seolgung desperately made an excuse. Mujin’s murderous spirit made his bones tingle. That made his whole body tremble like an aspen.
“Harmless?”
Mujin’s eyes turned to Muhae, who was lying around outside. At that time, Jin Mu-won came forward.
“Fifteen years ago, your priest was attacked by other priests who were jealous of his talents. As a result, I lost my martial arts skills and was kicked out of the communal faction.”
“Do not lie. The communal faction is a place with strict rules. “That can never happen.”
Mu-jin denied Jin Mu-won’s words.
At that time, Ham Ji-pyeong approached Mu-jin.
“Everything he said is true, Mujin death penalty.”
“How is that possible? “If Jang Mun-in knew, he would never have stayed silent.”
“Jang Moon-in probably doesn’t know that fact. “When my brother-in-law was training at the closing ceremony, he must have been teaching me the Five Eumsingeom techniques.”
“then?”
“Taehyeon and Sasuk decided that.”
“Taehyun… Sasuk?”
Mujin’s voice suddenly trembled. If it is Tae-hyeon Dojang, his master is the priest of Taewol Dojang, a Jang Mun-in, and the master of Muhae.
“My loss of martial arts was actually an accidental thing. “I didn’t know that the harmless death penalty would have such an outcome.”
Muhae, who missed the joint day, was angry and treated Ham Ji-pyeong roughly, and their argument eventually escalated into a fistfight. There were several other priests there, including Muwol, and it eventually escalated into a fight between everyone.
“In the end, Dantian was seriously injured in that fight. He lost all his martial arts skills. Taehyeon and Sasuk said that. If you just stay quiet, everyone will be fine. So, go down the mountain like this.”
Ham Ji-pyeong did not have the power to disobey Tae-hyeon’s words. He had to come down the Gonggong Mountain in solitude, and after that he did not dare to approach the Gonggong Sect.
“How can that be! How could Taehyun and Sasuk do that… … !”
Taehyeon Dojang told Jang Mun-in and the other elders that Ham Ji-pyeong attacked the priests after being cursed and was forced to oust them. That was already fifteen years ago.
In the past years, Ham Ji-pyeong did not even come near Gonggongsan Mountain. This is because he was afraid of threats from Taehyeon Dojang and Muhae, who were afraid of repercussions. However, as time passed, Ham Ji-pyeong moved to this place near Gonggongsan Mountain. Because now I wanted to resolve the injustice.
He stayed here as a guest, looking for an opportunity to meet Mujin. However, Muhae discovered him before Mujin, and this sad incident began.
Seolgung quickly knelt down in front of Mujin.
“Sahyeong, I did nothing wrong. “I just did what the harmless death penalty told me to do.”
He hit his head on the floor and declared his innocence. But Mujin’s eyes looking at him were cold.
“In the end, all of this was done to cause no harm and to destroy you.”
“Sahyeong, please forgive me. “I really didn’t know anything.”
Seolgung desperately tried to explain.
No matter how hard I tried, it was right now to make excuses rather than fight back. He felt that since he had nothing to do with the incident from fifteen years ago, he could get away without much trouble if he made a good excuse.
‘You just have to get past this one time. Now that Tae Sa-suk has predicted me, I will not be able to question him any further.’
Seolgung’s eyes moved cunningly. But Seolgung didn’t know. She knows that she is staring at her own self.
Mujin smiled helplessly and looked up at the sky.
“haha! I was just a scarecrow. “I was a fool who only learned martial arts without knowing that my eyes and ears were covered.”
He must have looked so ridiculous that the priests would have decided to do something like this and cover it up for fifteen long years.
Mujin’s eyes turned to Ham Jipyeong.
“It must have been a lot of hardship.”
“execution.”
At Mujin’s words, Ham Ji-pyeong felt the pain that had been trapped in his heart for fifteen years loosen, and he sat down and began to sob.
“crying! “Dad, don’t cry.”
Major Ham shed tears, and the father and daughter sobbed for a long time while hugging each other.
Jin Mu-won and Mu-jin watched in silence.
When Muhae and Muwol came to their senses, the first thing they saw was Mujin looking down at them with cold eyes, and Ham Jipyeong and his wife standing next to them.
‘Ah! ‘Things went wrong.’
They instinctively realized that something was wrong.
Muhae and Muwol quickly got up, knelt down, and said.
“Death penalty, oh my. “Let me explain.”
“That’s right. “No matter what you hear, you shouldn’t believe them.”

They desperately explained. But to Mujin, who already knew the truth, it only sounded like a lame excuse.
“Now I realize how cruel you are.”
“Death penalty.”
Muhae’s voice came out trembling.
The person he feared most in the world was Mujin, the death penalty. Even now, I was worried that he would find out, and in the end, the reason why I started this scandal was because I was afraid that Mujin would find out.
Mujin, the great executioner, had a strict distinction between public and private affairs, and even his own executioners had no forgiveness whatsoever if they did something wrong. So you don’t know how surprised he was when Mujin told him he was coming with him here. If they were so afraid, would they have ordered Palace Seol to assassinate Ham Ji-pyeong and his wife while they were attracting attention?
“Be prepared to be punished when you return to the common mountain. “Because you dared to deceive me, deceive Jang Mun-in, and deceive the entire community.”
“Sahyeong, please forgive me… … .”
Muhae and Muwol sought Mujin’s mercy, but to no avail. Mujin was no longer listening to their story.
There was a vision of everything they had built up until now collapsing. The honor of being the first disciple of the communal sect, the position of elder that they believed would naturally belong to them in a few years, and even the respect of these great disciples… … .
Muhae and Muwol momentarily exchanged glances. And we connected.
“damn!”
“Die!”
The two men attacked Mujin like a thunderbolt. It was a surprise attack that occurred at a moment when no one expected it.
Bokmajang (伏魔掌) and Chilsangkwon (七傷拳). It was also a secret tactic of Muhae and Muwol, all of which were the Jinsin jeolhak of the communal faction.
“at last!”
It was an unexpected surprise, but Mujin was not surprised. The moment I found out the whole truth, I thought that maybe this could be the case.
Sigh!
The bamboo sword that was hanging on his waist was pulled out like a flash sword and drew a line in the air.
“Kaaak!”
“Oops!”
Muhae and Muwol’s attacks could not even reach Mujin’s body and he screamed. There was a long stab wound on their shoulder and a fountain of blood was gushing out. Mujin’s sword left the wound first.
“Did you think you would even dare to hurt my body with your level of skill? “Not only is it harsh, but it’s also foolish!”
Muhae clutched the wound on his shoulder and glared at Mujin with scornful eyes.
“Hehe! What makes you so smart? “I don’t know how to do anything other than being a good martial artist.”
“So are you deceiving me?”
“exactly! A martial artist cannot receive the death penalty, so the long post is a waste of water! So, shouldn’t we get some other glory? But that damn mugung got in the way!”
Muhae’s gaze turned towards Ham Ji-pyeong.
Even though he was younger than himself, he had outstanding talent and a generous spirit. It was a material that would threaten his position if left alone. After losing in the secret martial arts contest to select the number of joint days, his thoughts became more firm.
“her! So you intentionally started a fight and ruined martial arts?”
“I did. What should I do? “Are you going to kill me?”
“no. I won’t kill you. “I will take you to the mountain to be judged like this.”
“Then Master will not remain silent. Please let’s cover it at this point. I will support the death penalty with all my heart. Among my disciples, there are many who support me. “The executioner is also a long-time person, so I don’t need their help to get the job done properly.”
“So you’re saying let’s make a deal with you?”
“It’s good for my sister and good for my brother-in-law. “I’m sure you know very well that it would be beneficial to the death penalty, and it would never be a loss.”
Muhae’s words pushed Mujin into the abyss of despair.
‘ah! ‘I was really a fool who knew nothing but martial arts to think that the communal faction was so corrupt.’
Bloody tears flowed down Mujin’s chest. He bit his lip until it bled.
“I will speak with my honor and my eternal honor. I, Mujin, will uncover all the truth about the incident from fifteen years ago, restore Mugung’s honor, and punish all those involved in it appropriately.”
At his declaration, the faces of Muhae, Muwol, and others turned white.
***
He subdued the blood leaders Muhae and Muwol and imprisoned them in the basement of Namhae Gaekjan. Seolgung screamed that it was unfair, but Mujin did not even pretend to listen to her.
Now that Jeon Seo-gu has been launched, tomorrow morning, soldiers will come down from the communal faction’s assembly hall and take them away.
Mu-jin stayed up all night with Ham Ji-pyeong and his wife and talked about what had happened. When she heard about what Mujin and Jipyeong’s father and daughter had gone through, she shed tears in sorrow.
Major Ham was next to Ham Ji-pyeong, explaining and chattering along, but he did not look like he was usually very smart.
“How old is the major?”
“I’m twelve this year.”
“okay?”
Mujin’s eyes lit up.
Twelve years old was a bit late for a prestigious family, but it was still generally an appropriate age to learn martial arts. Mujae, you can recognize him little by little, but his bright eyes did not make him look very smart.
I also liked the fact that she was the daughter of Ham Ji-pyeong, whom he especially cared about. Because she focuses only on martial arts, she has never been able to accept a single student.
Although it may be difficult to become a registered disciple because she is a woman, it did not seem impossible to be accepted as an anonymous disciple.
However, Mujin did not reveal his thoughts. First of all, we had to go back to the communal faction and decide what was right and wrong. Accepting disciples came later.
‘It must be difficult. It won’t be easy.’
There will be quite a bit of opposition from the elders, including Taehyeon, the master of the house, and there will also be considerable interference from other death penalty practitioners who follow Muhae. Still, I had to do it. Otherwise, the future of the communal faction would not exist.
“It’s been a lot of hard work. From now on, just leave it to me and get some rest. “It’s going to be very difficult because I have to climb Mt. Gongongsan tomorrow.”
Mujin patted Major Ham’s head and then stood up. Ham Ji-pyeong made a puzzled expression.
“Do you want to wake up?”
“I’d like to talk more, but there’s something I have to do right away.”
“execution?”
“The silver and the won must be made sure.”
Ham Ji-pyeong’s face hardened. Only then did he realize Mujin’s thoughts.
“But he…” … .”
“The bamboo sword is a symbol of the communal faction. Breaking the bamboo sword is no different from trampling on the pride of the communal faction.”
Mujin was called the pride of the communal faction. The name Gongpa was also a source of infinite pride for Mujin. Everything he had came from the communal faction, so he could not tolerate even the slightest scratch on the reputation of the communal faction.
“Rest.”
Ham Ji-pyeong did not dare to disobey Mujin’s words.
Mujin came out, leaving Ham Jipyeong and his wife behind. It was dark around Namhae Gaekjan. Even though there was a commotion last night, not only the villagers but also the staff did not approach.
This is because Yoon Seo-in and Gong Jin-seong strictly prohibited everyone from entering. Thanks to this, the staff members were not properly aware of what kind of turmoil had occurred within the communal faction.
‘I guess I should thank that kid.’
In any case, it was not very pleasant for the conflict within the communal faction and the resulting corruption to become known to the outside world.
Mujin raised his spirits.
Suddenly his mouth twitched.
I could feel his presence beyond the darkness. Mujin walked towards that place. It is on the vacant lot opposite the dock.
Jin Mu-won was standing about a hundred feet away from the Namhae guesthouse. As if he knew in advance that Mujin would come.
Mujin asked.
“Were you waiting?”
Jin Mu-won nodded silently.
Mujin asked again.
“How did you know I would come?”
“I know someone who has a personality like a seal.”
“okay?”
“Like a seal, he is a person who puts the name of the clan ahead of his own name. The characteristic of such people is that they can tolerate being insulted themselves, but they cannot tolerate their clan being insulted.”
“I know very well. That’s right. I am that kind of person. Stubborn and stubborn. That’s why I don’t know how to compromise like others.”
Mujin nodded.
He stroked the bamboo sword and continued speaking.
“Whatever the reason, you injured the first disciples of the Gongong Sect and broke the sacred bamboo sword. “I can never forgive that.”
“Even if it made it possible to punish corruption within the sect?”
“It’s an issue within the communal faction. “It is not for you, a foreigner, to interfere.”
“also!”
Jin Mu-won chuckled. Because it was an already expected answer.
Mu-jin suddenly took control of Jin Mu-won.
“Mu-jin, a great disciple of the Gongdong faction, challenges swordsman Jin Mu-won to a fight. No matter how the game turns out, our blessing will be forgotten. Will you accept my challenge?”
Mujin also faced him and took a gunshot.
“Resurrected Jin Mu-won, I will accept the request of Mujin Dojang and compete as a swordsman versus swordsman. “I promise that no matter what happens, I will hold no more grudges.”
“hmm!”
Mujin nodded and took out the bamboo sword.
Sreung!
In the darkness, the bamboo sword revealed its blue body.
A small tremor was felt in Jin Mu-won’s hands. It was as if Seolhwa was complaining about why he wasn’t chosen.
Jinmuwon responded to Seolhwa’s call.
The moment the sword body, as black as ink, appeared, Mujin felt his heart pounding. The tale shook his whole spirit.
“That sword is not an ordinary sword.”
“It’s called a folktale. “I made it.”
“is it? “That’s amazing.”
Mujin was impressed and increased his performance. Then Jukmungeom opened fire.
Five Eumsingeom (Five Eumsingeom).
This is the moment when the secret sword sword of the communal faction, which is only passed down to long-time scholars of the communal faction, appears to the world for the first time.
“Then go.”
Pop!
Before the last words were even finished, Mu-jin appeared right in front of Jin Mu-won. It was the Bibongsin method that reached its peak.
Sigh!
A red line appeared where his sword passed.
It was the first eumwoldancheon (陰月斷天) of the Five Eumsingeom.
In one second, Jin Mu-won’s body was cut from top to bottom. No, he looked like he had been cut down.
Mujin’s expression became even colder. Because there was no feeling of anything sticking to my hand.
‘Suddenly?’
What he cut was an illusion from Jin Mu-won. The moment he moved, Jin Mu-won also moved. It just moved so fast that the illusion remained.
‘Where are you?’
Mujin’s spirit tracked down Jinmuwon. He pivoted on his left foot and swung his sword towards his other side. Then, five rays of sword energy rose up and flew away.
It was the third plant of the Five Eumsin Sword, Five Eum Honghwa.
It looked like five red flowers blooming in the air. However, the flower that Mujin had bloomed faded into vain the moment Jin Muwon shook the snowflake.
Jin Mu-won had no intention of prolonging this fight.
‘Quick resolution.’
Sigh!
Like a swallow gliding across the surface of the water, Jin Mu-won bent down closely and ran toward Mu-jin.
The hand holding the snowflake gained strength. In response, Seolhwa trembled slightly. Then the darkness around Jinmuwon became even darker.
Mujin’s eyes lit up at that sight.
‘I will not avoid it.’
I can vividly feel the energy waves of Jin Moo-won running beyond the darkness.
Jin Mu-won swung his sword at Mu-jin. Then a ray of shooting stars rose up.
Yu Seong-hon, the first herbivore of the Mysterious Demon Spiritual Sword, borrowed the sword and revealed himself to the world. But Mujin did not sit still either.
“Heavenly Sword Iljo (天劍一照).”
All five eumsingeom are chili herbivorous. Among them was Ochosik. Currently, the best herbal food that Mujin has mastered, and the one that is evaluated as having the most extreme power, is Cheongeom Iljo.
Ugh!
The air seemed to resonate, and blue light burst from the bamboo gate sword, forming the shape of a sword.
It was a skill that any warrior who had mastered the sword could hope to achieve even in his dreams.
“Chahaha!”
Mujin’s spirit resonated in the darkness.
and… … .
Whoops!
They collided.
martial arts,
