Episode 879
King of Fist (4)
“Can’t you?”
“I told you no.”
“It is a path for the world.”
“You are lowly, not mine.”
“This is heaven for all of us. What if they try to turn the world into a sea of fire and, as a dangerous element, try to harm the old master?”
“They will realize. “I thought there were some of the swordsmen in the world who were this scary.”
“And you will succeed.”
“what?”
“You will succeed. “Once you decide to kill, you will definitely be able to kill Nosa.”
“This is another statement that is difficult to ignore.”
“Of course, this is a statement that should not be ignored. A master who has never fought against them would not be able to imagine how fearsome masters they have.”
“I know because I heard it. “I guess they must have had a lot of Seongcheon-level experts?”
“That’s right. Furthermore, they live by orders and die by orders. There is no morality or intention. “We will have no hesitation in joining hands and killing our opponents.”
“hmm.”
“Let me ask you. Can you be sure of your survival even in the face of a secret attack from two or more Seongcheon-level masters?”
“….”
“Yes, it will be difficult. They might even be able to move in threes and fours.”
“So what are you asking me to do?”
“Please join us. If the war is going to break out at any time, let’s fight it together.”
“Damn it, I have no intention of getting involved in this kind of war.”
“If you do not have a heart for the world, please join us at least for the sake of yourself and your students.”
“….”
“Please do this.”
“I came here to have fun and ended up getting my nose stitched.”
“….”
“If you listen to my suggestion, I will at least think about it.”
“What kind of proposal do you mean?”
“…Please do it.”
“That’s…”
“It’s okay if you don’t like it.”
“You will have to look at the qualifications first.”
“He’s a guy who can use martial arts just fine. “My temper is a bit of a problem, but to put it bluntly, are there any sane people among the martial arts people?”
“….”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t reach the peak. That too is his ability and blessing. “I just want to show you the sea as a teacher.”
“The sea…”
“Whether he plays in the sea and gets swept away by the waves, goes around catching fish, or… it’s his ability to make the sea his own.”
“….”
“What are you going to do?”
“There are a few more.”
“hmm?”
“…there are a few more people who did it.”
“I know. That’s why I called it a suggestion. “If I hadn’t known that in the first place, would I have suggested something like this?”
“….”
“Consider it. “I will consider it too.”
“All right.”
“Hey, I came here hoping something fun would happen, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. The old man prefers fluttering his snout rather than cutting, and the younger one is reluctant because his mission is just around the corner. “It’s a life without so many blessings.”
“Do you want to fight?”
“Isn’t it obvious? “It’s been decades since I met a worthy opponent.”
“If you do, will I give you someone to fight?”
“Ugh? who? You? Oh, that’s okay. “I was curious too.”
“Hehe, besides me, there is one more absolute expert who needs to learn.”
“…?”
“Instead, may I decide where the fight will take place?”

The day before the leader’s appointment ceremony.
After returning from Museongjeon, Yeon Ho-jeong headed to Pagungak again today.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
Just then, Yeon Ji-pyeong came smiling and carrying the award.
“The snacks are here too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Are you spying on when I will come?”
“Your brother arrived just in time.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sitting on the bench, saw Bu-seon.
Bu-seon was standing at a distance.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“What are you doing? “Come and eat together.”
“Ah yes.”
It still seemed awkward.
Pagungak had several rooms. One of them was Buseon’s quarters.
She lacked the ability to talk comfortably with people. Especially after taking over everything from Yangcheon, he became much more blunt than before.
It was because of responsibility. Although she was no longer the heir, the responsibility that arose back then still weighed heavily on her shoulders.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“how is it? “Isn’t it uncomfortable to stay?”
“yes I’m okay.”
It was a strange sight.
Bu-seon was older than Yeon-ho-jeong and even Muk-bi. Although she looked young on the outside due to her strong internal skills, her unique aura made her look mature.
It was quite strange to see such a person politely answering the words of a young man who looked much younger. However, her elegance was considerable enough to be considered a maid.
“If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. “Let’s stay together at Palseonggak.”
“….”
Buseon’s expression became awkward again.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I asked my father to let me stay here on purpose.”
“Yes, I heard.”
“Do you know why?”
“I don’t know.”
In addition to her personality, Bu-seon found Yeon Ho-jeong to be a difficult person.
Even when I first met him, he was very stiff and intimidating. This is a man who would have been an enemy if he had not been connected by this kind of relationship.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong seemed like a wild beast with big fangs, but now he was extremely friendly. It was a strangely big change.
“Shall we have a drink first?”
“yes.”
As always, Yeonwi took a reasonable amount of time to drink a glass at a time, and Yeon Ji-pyeong seemed to be excited for the first time in a while and matched the pace with Yeon Ho-jeong.
What was unexpected was the floating boat. Her drinking style was incredibly fast and dynamic. Once he received a glass, he never left a drop, and when the glass was empty, he immediately refilled it.
Is that why? The atmosphere was comfortable, but I got drunk quickly.
Bu-seon and Yeon Ji-pyeong both drank while keeping their inner energy, which releases energy on its own, to sleep, so they got drunk in less than half an hour.
And when another hour had passed, Yeon Ji-pyeong had completely fallen asleep.
“Are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
It didn’t look very good. His movements were much slower than before, and his eyes were slightly relaxed, making him look sleepy.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Go in first and sleep.”
“are you okay.”
“Whatever.”
The person who spoke the most at this event was Yeon Ho-jeong. It had to be that way. Yeonwi was not a talkative person to begin with, and Buseon had not said even twenty words until now.
After another hour, Buseon dozed off and eventually fell asleep.
“That’s fascinating.”
“What do you mean?”
Yeonwi said while looking at the boat.
“Life on the Black Island is probably different from here. “Isn’t this a life where you can’t relax even for a moment?”
“That’s right.”
“Moreover, to become a disciple of the Lord of the Dark Dragons, you must have gone through quite a bit of chaos, and yet you are sleeping so peacefully. “Of course, I wanted you to be comfortable.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“So that’s right.”
“hmm?”
“It means that this guy became comfortable because he wanted his father to be comfortable.”
Yeonwi chuckled.
“I’m not a magician who can control people’s minds, so how can that friend be comfortable just because I want him to?”
“And I hoped so too.”
“what?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said while looking at the boat.
“This person lived his whole life in tension.”
When he was conscious, he said you, but when he fell asleep, he naturally changed his name.
“As my father said, life in the dark island is extremely intense. In the meantime, this person added it. Black porcelain is as conservative as white porcelain, but it can also be unimaginably rough. “There are a lot of people who see women only as objects of sexual desire.”
“hmm.”
“It must have been so difficult to live in such an environment to become the best. “They say my pain is the greatest pain, but honestly, if you ask me if my pain is the same as this person’s, I think it would be hard to say yes.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“This person is seeking a comfortable life. To begin with, I never deeply wanted to be the successor. “If I didn’t do that, I would be eliminated and die, so I just gritted my teeth and held on no matter what.”
“….”
“There is no need for that anymore. But he’s the only one who doesn’t know that. That’s why I said it would be nice to stay here.”
Yeonwi smiled and filled Yeonhojeong’s cup.
“Thank you for being so kind to Abby. “I will try harder to live up to my son’s expectations.”
“There is no need for that. “Your father is already doing that.”
“haha.”
“That’s what heart and sword are all about.”
Yeonwi, who was holding her glass, paused.
While having a conversation where you can exchange comfortably as usual, suddenly you say something.
A puzzlement appeared on Yeonwi’s face as she looked at Yeonhojeong.
“What do you mean by heart and sword?”
“What is Simgeom?”
It was a sudden question.
I was curious about the intention, but Yeonwi first answered.
“It is the state of wielding a sword with one’s heart. So, if the sword and I become one and can draw the sword road as intended, it can also be said to be a mind sword.”
“In a broad sense, it can be said to be a form of Simgeom.”
“Of course it is.”
“That’s not the kind of examination I’m asking about.”
“What other kind of mind and sword can there be? In the end, the definition of a sword with the heart is up to the person who defines it….”
“Handling a sword with your heart means that you can handle anything with your mind.”
“…?”
“By handling the sword, which is an external object, with the mind, the mastery of the sword is completed, and the state in which one does not even need to hold the sword, and can influence not only external objects but also people through will alone, is the mind sword.”
“…!”
“Cutting people with your heart… It may be like a dream, but my father has already done something similar. “He cut off the will and heart of the monsters and devils of the Shinhwa religion who fought with you.”
“It’s… different. “It’s not like cutting a person, it’s more like breaking their will.”
“He broke the heart of a man who had reached a much higher level than his father. “This is impossible for anyone.”
“….”
Yeonwi’s eyes deepened.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Yeon-wi, shook her head.
“I am not praising my father for his greatness. “I am putting into my words the change of my father who achieved that heart and soul.”
“change?”
“The reason why self-examination is dangerous is because an individual’s will can influence others beyond external things. That is why it is called the state of God, and although everyone longs for it, they conclude that it is impossible.”
“…!”
“There is no need for words or actions such as swear words, verbal abuse, praise, encouragement, assault, arguments, politics, etc. That’s what heart and soul examination is all about. “Is there any need to lift a sword when you can see, feel, and lead the world with your heart?”
“What you’re saying is…”
“The reason I sent this person to my father is because I thought he would be able to take good care of this person.”
Yeon Ho-jeong touched Bu-seon’s shoulder.
Buseon, who had been shaking his head, lifted his head slightly and fell asleep again.
“I am not someone who has lived in a world where it is easy to get drunk and fall asleep in front of someone I have only seen for a day, no matter how comfortable the seat is.”
“….”
“What made this possible was my father’s heart and sword. To be precise, it reflects my father’s will to make this person comfortable.”
Yeonwi’s eyes trembled.
“This is nonsense. “I don’t plan on harming someone with my heart and sword…!”
“Consciousness cannot overcome the unconscious. “The moment you try to do something consciously, your true energy will be exhausted and your mental strength will take an extreme hit.”
What Yeonwi remembered for a moment was when he cut down the rebels who had invaded the imperial palace with a single strike of his sword.
Not only did it consume a huge amount of internal energy, but the excessive use of the upper stage combat was enough to cause a nosebleed.
“This is not a power granted to humans. “Only by becoming a non-human being can you escape from the influence of that power and be able to control it.”
“You mean…?”
Wooooow.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes turned golden.
“Now, I can see that the great Sword of the Heart is eating away at my father’s mind and heart.”
