Episode 374 Hey, Sword Demon.
I mostly spent my time chopping firewood with an axe. In the meantime, Sogunpyeong and Namgarak also came to visit after hearing the news, but after drinking together, they sent them away. Instead, he conveyed his intention to the two people to somehow collect the flags.
In any case, there is no need to stay here unless you are a strongman with the skills of the Four Major Villains.
These are the qualifications I have set.
This is because the enemy is a force that even the Four Major Evils cannot handle.
Although Yunhyangmun’s flag and financial support had arrived, there was still no news from Gwima. I thought it went well. Strangely enough, I also thought that I didn’t want the demon to come.
While I was chopping firewood, I was mainly thinking about making metal fittings.
The construction of Jaha Gaekjan was in progress with hired workers, but I did not intervene. That’s because I’m not an architectural expert. Instead, I focused on simple tasks, as there was plenty of room to use firewood once I had it.
The eldest brother is usually into meditation or focused on training.
After sending away the visiting acquaintances, I focused each day on chopping firewood. Mainly, firewood was chopped straight using a combination of woodworking power and external power. So, this means that I am just using the combination of internal and external skills I learned at the Steel Lodge to chop firewood.
I haven’t become the best expert in the world yet.
Just looking at the quality of firewood, it seemed like he was the best woodcutter in the world.
Since the firewood was split so consistently and straightly, workers sometimes came by during their breaks to watch me.
“… … .”
Actually, I was so focused on chopping firewood that I didn’t have time to chat with the workers.
When he was hungry, he ate with the workers, sharpened the ax blade, rested for a while, and then started chopping firewood again.
The reason I work like this is because I know that Jaha Gaekjan will collapse. The workers don’t know that fact. Everyone was participating in the construction with a fairly generous salary, but they couldn’t tell them that it might collapse soon.
So I chose to work with the workers.
I got a new nickname among the workers… … .
Bubumunju (斧門主, Dok2 Munju) was a representative example.
Perhaps because I was young, many people did not know exactly who I was. Sometimes, the good-looking workers called me their third son. Although everyone was afraid of the eldest brother, I seemed to feel like the third brother.
Surprisingly, Saekma returned with the flag of the Murim League and then left to practice light fighting again. He didn’t ask, but it felt like he was trying to find another Baekdo faction.
Has there been some kind of change of heart?
My eldest brother and I didn’t bother to ask. This is because we are actually independent humans, not exchanging orders.
While using the power of the world of wood, I ponder the words of the saint every day… … .
I realized the difference between other martial arts and Geumgusoyo-gong. Usually, most martial arts teach the basics in the introductory course and explain more difficult things as you advance in the realm… … .
What Geumgu Soyogong emphasizes in the world of wood is mainly attitude.
So, a wooden chicken does not simply refer to a wooden chicken, but refers to a state in which the rough attitude of a fighting cock becomes peaceful like a wooden chicken. In other words, in order to fight well, the most important thing is to maintain your peace of mind. So, is my state of mind currently in the world of wood, waiting for the forces of the Demonic Cult?
That can’t be true.
It’s a fighting cock.
So I kept chopping wood and trying to keep my composure. I literally trained myself to become a wooden chicken.
At this point, I also know that the cult leader is stronger than me. This was an element of anxiety and it tormented my heart. But in order to fight, you had to ignore it or accept it.
If an all-out war breaks out, many people will inevitably die. But that was also Kang Ho-in’s fate, so I accepted it.
Geumgu Soyogong is unusual… … .
The most important emphasis is placed on what the mindset of a person learning martial arts should be. The question of skill and high level of skill is next.
So, salt fighting, cock fighting, and patrol fighting are technical areas.
While chopping firewood repeatedly, it occurred to me that the core of Geumgu Soyogong might be the wood world. Because, even in my past life, I trained while frequently experiencing mental demons, so I experienced the demonic demons at each stage of the world of fire, fighting, and fighting.
Could it be because I trained without even knowing the true nature of the martial arts I had learned?
Even though the master had already told me the correct answer, I was suspicious that I had ignored the correct answer and had fallen into the wrong path.
While chopping firewood, I practiced and practiced the Mokgye.
Maybe it was because I was so lost in my thoughts that my eldest brother didn’t talk to me except when I was eating. However, one day while I was chopping firewood while being absorbed in woodworking, the workers often came to me and told me various stories.
“… … Third, Lord Mun, there are people building barracks a little away.”
It seems that the dokja munju and the third munju have been combined to become the third munju.
I looked at the worker.
“Barracks?”
“yes. It’s not that far. There was even a flag next to it. “What did it say?”
Everyone tilted their heads.
“What kind of top are you talking about?”
After putting the ax on my shoulder, I left the construction area and looked around. As the workers said, construction to build a barracks was seen to be in progress at a place a little away.
‘It’s absurd.’
As I approached with my axe in hand, I saw a flag fluttering just as the workers had said.
“Jungcheon Sangdan… … .”
It’s a top I’ve never heard of. That means it is not a nearby force. Even when I came nearby and looked around, no one was very wary. They all looked like public servants, no different from the workers working at Jaha Gaekjan. However, the appearance of the barracks somehow looked like a field barracks used in a battlefield.
As I watched with the ax slung over my shoulder… … .
Only then did a worker nod his head and say to me.
“Hello, Lord Moon, how are you?”
I answered after receiving the greeting.
“Where are you from?”
“We are workers hired by Jungcheon Sangdan.”
“Why do you recognize me?”
“This is the location where the barracks were asked to be built, and I heard that Lord Hao Wen is building a guest house nearby. They asked me to make it at a point where I could face it. And soon, not only us but other workers will come in large numbers and build several barracks here.”
“Do you mean building several barracks?”
“yes. “I understand that several merchants have hired workers.”
“Do you know who requested it at the top?”
The worker looked at me.
“We don’t know that. “The higher-ups will know.”
I took a walk around the barracks, looking at them. If Kang Ho-in was among the workers, he would have recognized him right away, but they all seemed like ordinary people.
I couldn’t help but sigh.

“That’s a great strategy. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Yes, Lord Moon.”
As I returned to Jaha Gaekjan, I made eye contact with my eldest brother, who was standing at the entrance to the site.
My eldest brother asked me.
“What did you say?”
“It looks like barracks are being built.”
“barracks? who?”
“The devil’s cult… … .”
“what?”
The eldest brother kept an eye on the people building the barracks. I shook my head.
“There is no Kang Ho-in. Looks like he just received an order. So, they are all working people. “I think they are planning to build several barracks to confront Jaha Gaekjan.”
“What is your intention?”
I looked at the flag that said “Jungcheon Sangdan.”
“Why don’t we plant the flags of the religious leaders or non-military groups?”
“It looks like a military camp, not a barracks.”
“that’s right. “It must be a military camp.”
I sat with my eldest brother on a bench nearby and looked at the military camp being built. When I thought about it, I realized that the only men who could immediately see through the intention of that act were Lim So-baek and Baek-ui Seosaeng.
“Eldest brother, I don’t know if it was the leader or someone else who ordered it, but I think he ordered us to make a janggi board.”
“hmm.”
“If the merchants are mixed up and raise the top flag like that, it will be difficult for me to advance and annihilate them.”
Only then did the eldest brother nod, as if he understood the intention.
“Then you don’t plan on destroying Jaha’s guest cup?”
“I guess so. Was I being too generous? It means that there is someone who has figured out my intentions. “It looks like he guessed my intentions when he saw our flag.”
To be honest, I felt like I had been punched, but perhaps because I was training in the world of wood, I felt calmer than usual.
While I was chatting with my eldest brother, a new procession of carriages and carts appeared, moving in a line like a swarm of ants, stopping near the military camp and workers and materials pouring out again. Perhaps because it was building a military camp, the pace seemed very fast.
I was filled with admiration.
“hmm.”
Just like the demonic religion did before around Cheonri Gaekjan, he moved while holding a rope and moved it as if dividing it into very large sections. After a while, Jaha Gaekjan and the military camp were trapped in a rectangular compartment. It really looked like they were making a chessboard.
Since I couldn’t kill the workers hired by the Demon Cult, I just left them alone.
So then, what is the distinction between white, black, and magic?
Those who worked under him to make money would not care about that distinction.
I brought some long pieces of firewood and sharpened a wooden sword with a flash dagger. Then his eldest brother held out his hand to me.
“Give it to me.”
My eldest brother showed me the process of making a wooden sword by hand using an ink knife. I followed along as I watched it. We chatted occasionally while making the wooden sword.
“… … “I didn’t know that the Demonic Cult would come out like that.”
The swordsman said while looking at the camp.
“If the general’s barracks are built, the religious leader may appear in person.”
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
“Why are you laughing?”
“If the workers are mixed like that, I can’t use the Sun and Moon Light Springs.”
The eldest brother looked at me.
“Third.”
“huh?”
“The sun and moon are nothing.”
I burst out laughing for the first time in a long time. It didn’t seem like the eldest brother was saying this because he had a plan. I guess it’s just a joke from the Sword Demon.
I said while looking at the military camp.
“Was the leader always that smart?”
“If the religious leader was stupid, he would have already died during the successor struggle. If he had been a man with a broken heart, he would have died before the struggle for succession even began. If he had already been a stupid man before that, he would not have been appointed as one of his successors, Archduke. “He had many brothers, but not all of them were called archdukes.”
“okay? “It’s bittersweet.”
“what?”
“In the end, doesn’t this mean that he started his life as a powerhouse by killing his brothers? Or maybe it started when he was threatened by his brothers. I don’t have any blood brothers, but I don’t think I could have ended him with my own hands. “It would be better for me to leave Kangho.”
“It would not have been easy to escape the river in good condition.”
“I guess so. “Because it’s a demonic religion.”
We quickly completed the wooden sword and then looked at each other. The eldest brother took my wooden sword and after polishing it one more time he gave it back to me.
We went out to the vacant lot without saying anything.
The eldest brother stopped first, and I moved a little further and then turned around. Each of them is holding the wooden sword they just made in their right hand.
I verbally attacked my eldest brother before he could open his mouth.
“Hey, Sword Demon.”
The eldest brother nodded.
“Hao Wen Ju.”
I glared at my eldest brother and said.
“Wouldn’t it be advantageous for me if I use a wooden sword?”
The Sword Demon shook his head.
“You are inherently good at various types of martial arts, improvisation, and light attacks. “If you fight only with a sword, you are at a disadvantage.”
I answered by touching my nose.
“You sound arrogant. “I haven’t lost since I appeared in the powerhouse.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“You were lucky.”
“Luck is also a skill. “Has Mr. Jeon ever experienced defeat?”
“There are a few times.”
“Did you manage to survive?”
The Sword Demon smiled.
“It means you have never lost a fight for your life.”
“good. They are both undefeated swordsmen. “You deserve to deal with me.”
Since the opponent was an older person, I first showed courtesy by lowering my wooden sword. The Sword Demon simply nodded his head. It seemed like they were thinking of giving up a player. I thought I would try it someday, and that is today. Of course, it wasn’t going to happen just once.
I deliberately narrowed the distance slowly and held out my wooden sword. While my wooden sword, which was extending in a straight line, made a thud and lost its direction, the Sword Demon’s wooden sword entered my throat. In an instant, I pushed off the ground and retrieved the sword that had been pushed away. Next, the Sword Demon unleashed his single sword and charged at me.
The only way to let go of that momentum was to use Amhyangpyo. After widening the distance in an instant, he responded to the sword demon’s wooden sword that followed as if in pursuit with a herbal attack combining external attack and wooden attack.
The two wooden swords collided and made a clanging sound.
Because each person was pouring in their energy, it didn’t break right away, but the one who broke first had a high chance of losing, so there were a lot of things to consider. I looked at the Sword Demon’s expression, reacted first to the step, and prepared a counterattack by striking away the sword. The sword techniques I had learned so far were not working at all. It seems that the Sword Demon was gradually adding more power to the wooden sword while assessing my strength, and the sword gradually became heavier.
At some point, wooden swords collided in front of my eyes… … .
Just as he did at the Oksu Mountain Lodge, the Geomma gave a speech. I used only the power of the wood world to counter the sword demon’s strength.
puck!
It seems that the Sword Demon must have concentrated his energy more deeply, so he took three or four steps back due to the shock delivered from his hand… … .
Geomma also put away his sword for a moment.
“… … Are you okay? You held back too much tension.”
I was pushed away and looked at the sword demon. Before I knew it, the Sword Demon was looking at me with the expression of his eldest brother. asked his eldest brother.
“Shall I turn up the tension?”
The eldest brother nodded.
“Sure.”
I nodded and then provoked the sword demon again.
“Come at me.”
The Sword Demon let out a laugh and charged at me again. Even before his eldest brother’s wooden sword arrived, my hair was blown around by the sword demon’s force.
