Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 651
Episode 651.
Noble Enlightenment (1)
“Hmm.”
Yeonwi’s eyes, looking down at his sword, resembled a lake.
A lake surface where there is not a single wind blowing. It doesn’t cause even a small disturbance. If you look closely, it is so deep that you will fall into it.
How much time has passed like that?
“also.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“It’s still too much.”
It is difficult to even give it a name, so we just call it the Three Absolute Swords.
In the past, the first sword was completed and the design for the second sword was completed. However, through training with Tang Gwan, he completed two swords and the idea of three swords was completed.
Now that he had completed the three swords, Yeonwi had achieved his dream of becoming a warrior.
Creating better martial arts for the family and future generations. Previous family heads put effort into refining their studies before joining the family, and Yeonwi was no different.
but.
“As expected, it’s difficult to play without a role. “I wonder if I can reach that goal once I complete the Three Swords.”
Yeonwi with a calm face. Even though the drama was still overwhelming, there was no sign of regret. I did not feel any impatience or frustration of a warrior who could not reach a higher level.
Looking at his father like that, Yeon Ji-pyeong saw the path for himself.
My older brother, Yeon Ho-jeong, was always fast. It seemed more urgent than fast.
However, it only seemed urgent in the eyes of others and was never urgent to him. This is because my older brother was looking at the world from a completely different perspective than the rest of the world.
Yeon Ji-pyeong was proud of his older brother, but acknowledged that he was different from him.
My brother has his way, and I have my own way. And his path was bound to be different from his father’s.
However, he is much closer to his father than his older brother. Yeon Ji-pyeong realized that.
Yeonwi looked at Yeonjipyeong with his sword fixed.
“sorry. “I thought I had arrived earlier, but I felt like I shouldn’t break my concentration.”
“No, father.”
A look of admiration appeared on Yeonwi’s face as she looked at Yeonjipyeong with a smile.
“It looks like you had a wonderful training in Guangdong.”
“Commander Moyong gave me a lot of help.”
“Whoever helped me was truly amazing. “I knew I would constantly work hard, but I didn’t know I would grow to this level.”
It was an honest admiration without any hesitation.
The second child’s martial arts performance, which I had seen for the first time in a long time, was as empty as that of a shamanist sect. As a member of the Yeonga family, there is nothing lacking.
The rich people in Yeonga each had different characteristics.
Yeonwi had the deep roots of a giant tree and the strength of a castle wall.
Yeonhojeong was as fast as lightning and as brilliant and intense as fire.
So what about Yeonjipyeong?
Yeonjipyeong was soft and rich like a cloud. But it wasn’t just soft.
Clouds are sometimes accompanied by lightning and storms. In the quiet prayers of Yeon Ji-pyeong, Yeon Wi could see a strong sword wind that could rush out into the world at any time.
“He deserves praise for gaining martial arts knowledge and pioneering his own martial arts at that age. “If we keep that momentum, we will soon surpass Mujong.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled.
“I try not to dwell on it.”
It was a strange change.
If it were the usual Yeon Ji-pyeong, she would have waved her hand and said that there was still a long way to go. This is because personality is personality, but it must have been considered courtesy.
Yeonjipyeong was different now. I look at the world calmly, aware of my own position. I am confident that I can overcome the borderless barrier, but I am not in a hurry to do so.
Yeonwi laughed.
“I am more proud of the fact that I have grown to my full potential than the accomplishments I have achieved. They say a man becomes an adult when he goes out into the world, and you have finally become an adult.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong just smiled quietly.
Yeonwi slowly swept his sword.
“How do you feel? “You probably haven’t even eaten, so would you like to share a sword after the meal?”
“great.”
“good night. “There is nothing more exciting than seeing for yourself how sharp your son’s sword has become.”
Yeonwi, who was looking at Yeonjipyeong with a smile, tilted her head for a moment.
“By the way, where is Bia? “Didn’t you come together?”
“Ah…”
Yeon Ji-pyeong scratched his head.
“Well, as soon as you return, you will join the army again.”
“Leaving the alliance? “How?”
“I said I had to go to my brother.”
“To Hojeong?”
“yes. I received a separate call from the soldier and he said he needed someone to transport his brother’s weapons. So my sister decided to go.”
Yeonwi clicked her tongue.
“I just got back, so I think I can rest for a day or so.”
“I’ll probably stop by sometime later. “I think I’ll take a day off.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“It’s been a while since we got together. “It would have been nice if there were Hojeong and Liang as well.”
The two people, who were laughing and talking, left the residence. Heading to the restaurant.
However, the rich man was unable to enjoy his first intimate meal.
“Matriarch.”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
“Are you from the military department?”
“yes. “The soldier wants to see you right away.”
I could feel the urgency on the warrior’s face.
Yeon Ji-pyeong said.
“Please come back. “I will eat alone.”
“I’m sorry.”
“no.”
Yeonwi said to Musa.
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
Yeonwi’s face hardened slightly as he went to the military headquarters with the warrior.
‘It looks like something happened.’
* * *
A hill not far from Hwajeokru.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had reached the top, saw an old man drinking alone under the moonlight.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
‘Is that guy?’
Cheoljanggae, who walked ahead of Yeonhojeong, bowed his head to the old man.
“I brought Dae Su Yeon Ho-jeong with me.”
It was a very polite attitude.
It had to be that way. If he was a figure from the previous era of Hwasan, he could be said to be a great adult of the martial arts world, regardless of the influence he had.
If he was a generation older than the previous person, he would have been over ninety at the most, so it was natural for Iron Janggae to be so polite.
“Well, thank you.”
“no.”
Iron Janggae looked at Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded and stood across from the old man.
“Hoo.”
The old man smiled and looked up at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Are you the head of the Uijeonggun?”
“….”
“That’s amazing. “There are many brilliant disciples and famous masters at the main temple, but none of them have shown as much brilliance as you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at the old man in silence.
The old man pointed with his hand to the flat rock in front of him. There was an empty glass on the rock.
“Sit down and have a drink. It’s a liquor made with plum blossoms. “It’s a bit bitter, but the scent is excellent.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the old man in silence, eventually sat down.
But he neither raised his glass nor opened his mouth. He just looked at the old man with deep eyes.
The iron cage slightly widened its eyes.
“He is Kang Ho’s great senior. Please be polite.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not respond to Cheol Jang-gae’s words.
Iron Janggae clicked his tongue inwardly. I had originally heard that my neck was stiff, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad.
But the old man’s reaction was different from Iron Janggae’s.
“Why are you doing that?”
“….”
“What do you see in this old man that you are looking at so closely?”
Only then did Yeon Ho-jeong open his mouth.
“You are amazing.”
The old man tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“I can’t see the depth.”
“hmm?”
“I don’t think I’ll lose if I mix my hands, but I’m a bit nervous.”
“Hehehe.”
“I don’t want to fight with the old dojo.”
The old man burst into laughter.
“I thought it was completely different from the rumors, but this part is just like the rumors. Even though you saw an old man who might die at any moment, do you think about fighting? “Hehehe.”
“….”
“A very resolute prayer. Even though I’m on the infinite path, I don’t waver one bit. I don’t know, but it seems like your personality and martial arts skills haven’t changed much since before you started performing. “I can see the shadow of a giant tree that is unshaken by storms.”
A smile spread across Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“He is a Taoist man. “You are saying something that is difficult to understand.”
“What kind of regretful words can you say when you have interpreted and understood everything?”
“Because I like things that are intuitive.”
“I think I understand.”
What kind of conversation is this?
Iron Janggae tilted his head. Of course, I had no intention of joining the conversation between the two.
‘It’s really amazing.’
What is visible is the old man, but Yeon Ho-jeong captures something beyond that.
‘This person is not just a Taoist. ‘It’s like…’
What Yeon Ho-jeong thought of was another Taoist monk.
The most Taoist-like Taoist monk I’ve ever seen.
‘It’s the same as Seunghyeonjinin.’
Shaman Seung Hyeon-jin.
This old man is the same type as Seunghyunjin. Although he was of the same type, he was a much deeper and richer person than that.
‘I don’t have the will to fight.’
The ultimate in martial arts is to subdue an opponent without fighting.
This old man and Seunghyeonjinin went beyond even that. It takes away the opponent’s will to fight.
Even if I want to burn my passion for victory, I cannot. The spirit of fighting does not rise and the will to fight does not boil over. It is not that he does this on purpose, but his enlightenment is so supreme that it prevents anyone who sees him from even thinking about pulling out his sword.
The old man was that kind of person. Before martial arts, the level of enlightenment was different.
said the old man.
“I am amazed at you just as you are amazed at me.”
“…?”
“You don’t see the Tao. “The shadow of Buddha’s mind is darker than that of Tao, but that doesn’t mean he’s worthy of becoming a Buddhist monk.”
“….”
“He is a natural warrior. “It is dazzling to see a lecture hall that does not become absorbed in any mysterious principles that it witnesses.”
“Is that so?”
The old man nodded.
“You are not interested in enlightenment, and enlightenment will pass you by, but you were able to become so strong because you gave up your right to ascend to heaven. “He is a sad strongman.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. “I don’t really like this type of conversation.”
“Hehe, is that so?”
“We have to move early tomorrow morning. “Get to the point.”
“Hehehe.”
The old man laughed for a while and then spoke in a calm tone.
“I am called Hwageomja (華劍者).”
Hwageomja.
As the leader of the previous generation of the Hwasan faction, he was an invincible swordsman who made Hwasan’s name known throughout the world with martial arts skills more powerful than those of Jang Mun-in at the time.
After one year, he was exactly 100 years old and was one of the best adults not only in Hwasan but also in the entire martial forest. He was the oldest person in the powerhouse, one level higher than the masters of Seongcheon.
“For fifteen years, I have been secluded in the depths of the mountains and valleys, seeking enlightenment with heaven as my friend. Then, a few months ago, without knowing why, I wanted to quit my practice. So, it’s been a while since I visited the headquarters.”
“….”
“At that time, I heard that the main gate’s sign had changed and that the world was turning quite ugly.”
“Is that so?”
“And I heard your name. “I heard from Yongseon about the influence of your performance, etc.”
ship chartering. Yongseonjinin.
It seemed like the eldest of the volcano had returned and had gone to the main mountain for a while.
Still, seeing that he was a long-time scholar and returned to the mountain in person, I was able to see how high the position of Hwageomja was.
The old swordsman continued calmly.
“I heard you hate the Three Religions a lot?”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt a strange feeling.
Hate the three religions? That is correct.
But what was important was not what Hwageomja said, but his tone.
It seemed like Hwageomja had known about the Three Religions for a long time.
“If you do that, what about me?”
“…What do you mean?”
“Before I was given the title, my common name was Hoyeonjak.”
“…?!”
“I am from outside the country.”
Chaaaaang!
Yeonhojeong pulled out the Black Dragonbu like a thunderbolt.
