Episode 1012Revised History (2)
Prince Moyong, who opened the door and came in, said with a smile.
âAre you asleep?â
âYes, I closed my eyes for a moment.â
âYou must have been tired. âThe atmosphere was so chaotic that you must have been nervous.â
âCompared to the head of the family, I am nothing.â
It was a subtle statement.
It may sound like a humble statement, but to the ears of those who try to see the truth, it sounds like the meaning at face value.
âPlease sit down. âIâll give you some tea.â
âSure.â
Mo Yong sat in front of the table.
Hong Ik-cheon seemed familiar as he boiled water in the brazier in his room. His hands were familiar yet careful as he picked out the tea leaves stored in one place.
Hong Ik-cheon asked with his back turned.
âDid your trip go well?â
âGood.â
Moyong-gun smiled.
It was a dry, cold smile that was invisible to Hong Ik-cheonâs gaze.
âIt went too well.â
A smile also appeared on Hong Ik-cheonâs face.
It was a deep and simple smile that was invisible to Mr. Moyong.
âI see.â
âAre the Union members still moving here and there?â
âIt was like that, but the head of the Nangong family suddenly passed away and the entire clan was put on alert. âFor now, letâs go back to our respective quarters and wait.â
âI see.â
âThey were very anxious because they were not used to this type of situation. âAfter the head of the family left, I visited them one by one and consoled them appropriately, but that wonât make my anxiety go away.â
âYou are amazing as expected. âItâs not easy to be so delicate even at such a young age.â
âHaha, these are all life skills I learned from the head of the family.â
âThatâs not true.â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes calmed down.
âYou were extraordinary from the moment I first saw you. âHe had excellent backbone, but rather than being a martial artist, he was a very intelligent and courageous merchant.â
Grrr.
Hong Ik-cheon said as he poured moderately heated water into a teacup.
âItâs a shame. As I said before, I actually wanted to become a martial artist. Rather than a merchant.â
âYou are already a great martial artist.â
âIs that so.â
âOf course, I am learning something similar to martial arts rather than martial arts.â
âhaha.â
Hong Ik-cheonâs hand, which filled Mo Yong-gunâs cup and then his own, was so natural and flexible. Seará´h the novÑlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âWater Dragon God Acupuncture is definitely an excellent study, but I still donât know if it is a martial art or a martial art. âItâs all because Iâm not good enough.â
âDidnât you tell me before? âThe operation method is different from other Naegongsimbeop, and is based on Sangdanjeon, but the method of releasing divine energy is similar to the Gugyeol operation method of Naegongbu.â
âI did.â
âThose who have learned martial arts also deal with upper division, but I have never heard of a martial arts class that uses upper division as its main division. âUsing the upper danjeon as the main danjeon can be seen as the realm of martial arts.â
âHowever, if such study does not demonstrate divine abilities, it cannot be considered a magic technique.â
Hong Ik-cheon placed two cups of finished tea on the table.
Mo Yong put his hand to the tea cup but did not drink the tea.
âMartial arts is also an ability that is nothing short of amazing when seen through the eyes of an ordinary person. Besides, you even practice acupuncture through your studies.â
âHaha, thatâs right. However, acupuncture is a principle that you naturally come to understand when you learn Suryongshin Acupuncture.â
âThat said, your skills are outstanding. âTo be honest, if you look at acupuncture alone, most doctors canât compete with it.â
Hong Ik-cheon scratched his head and said.
âMaster said so. âSuryongsinchimdo is a study born from the peopleâs wishes, so it is close to martial arts, but it can also be seen as a technique.â
ââ¦.â
âIn the first place, you said that magic is a study that represents the peopleâs desire to overcome the unfortunate reality. âItâs an extension of things like talismans and prayers.â
âI know that too.â
âThe peopleâs wish is to live in health and peace. âThe teacher said that the study of water, the source of life, was born and that we must be able to take care of our bodies with it.â
âYou were a great person.â
âyes. âHe is a great person.â
Hong Ik-cheon looked out the window.
âEven though he was such a great person, he suffered from an illness and passed away, perhaps because his destiny was unavoidable.â
âWe are all leaving like that, one by one.â
âI guess so.â
Hong Ik-cheon turned his head and said with a smile.
âHave some tea. âThe temperature was set appropriately.â
âThe same goes for the water dragon acupuncture needle.â
âyes? Oh, my martial arts skills?â
âThe other day, Vice Master Yang saw your martial skills right away. âThe eyes of Go Soo, who has reached the peak of excellence, look different, even if there is something different about them.â
âIsnât it said that it is the state of transcendence? âItâs worth it.â
âHe said. Itâs not like a Taoist or immortal technique. I was very surprised when I heard that. âI have penetrated into the origins of the art of magic.â
âThatâs incredibly accurate. I heard that King Tu spent his entire life traveling around the continent to develop himself. âYou have a lot of experience.â
âI guess so.â
Hong Ik-cheon smiled.
âBut why are you asking so deeply about my martial arts skills?â
âCan I ask the teacherâs name?â
Hong Ik-cheonâs answer was natural.
âThis is a person with the surname Ham. âYou didnât tell me your name.â
âI see.â
âWhy are you doing that?â
âI was wondering if that person was from Jungwon.â
It was a sharp and provocative question.
Hong Ik-cheon tilted his head.
âWere you curious about that?â
âThere are many other things Iâm curious about. If I had to choose one of themâ¦.â
Moyongâs hand holding the teacup went into strength.
âExcept for the chairman of the Jinsanghoe who supported you, why did everyone who was with you when you were young die?â
ââ¦.â
âOf course, people like that are common. âThere are so many orphans in these difficult times, and it is difficult to count the powers that support talented orphans to become powerful.â
ââ¦.â
âSo I didnât doubt it. From what I can see, you are an outstanding talent. âThere was just one thing that stuck.â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes narrowed.
âWhy did the head of the Jin Clan Chamber seem to want to stay away from you?â
Hong Ik-cheon sipped tea in silence.
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes became infinitely deeper. Hong Ik-cheonâs behavior of drinking tea without changing his expression was gradually turning his doubts into confidence.
âHe treated you like a son. But that wasnât everything. âIt was only for a moment, but⦠I knew he was afraid of you.â
âIs that so?â
âI researched various things about the merchant associations that came together while forming the Commerce Federation. In fact, there was no need to investigate. Because most of them were after me. âI buried myself in dirt just to make some money.â
ââ¦.â
âI thought the owner of the store was scared because of your strong personality. âI sponsored you, but I thought you were afraid that you would grow too big and reveal secrets about the company that I didnât know about.â
âI see.â
âBut it wasnât.â
Moyong took his hand away from the teacup, straightened his back and lifted his chin.
âHe was just afraid of you. âAm I wrong?â
ââ¦.â
âWhy canât you answer?â
âWhat is a person?â
Hong Ik-cheonâs voice did not waver at all.
âIt is a much more fragile and fleeting being than you might vaguely think.â
changed.
Although the voice was the same, Moyong felt that his voice sounded a little different.
âMaybe thatâs why. They are weak and fragile and cannot survive without leaning on each other, so when two or more people come together, they try to somehow create a society through harmony. Yes, the beginning is harmony.â
ââ¦.â
âBut when you start to come together, you also gain status. âI create ranks and rankings to make it easier for me to handle my own work.â
Hong Ik-cheon smiled.
In Mo Yong-gunâs eyes, it was a smile that no longer looked like a good man.
âIt is difficult to live if you do not feel that you are superior to others. âA being who at some point fails to understand the joys and sorrows of life and lives only to become superior.â
ââ¦.â
âIf you donât become superior, you become anxious, and the longer you feel anxious, the more you look down on others. âEven though I know with my head that I am not superior, I cannot accept it with my heart.â
ââ¦.â
âPeople are such weak, cowardly, and foolish beings.â
âHongikcheon.â
âWhy did the head of the Nangong family die?â
ââ¦!!â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes wavered.
Suddenly, Namgung-inâs death is mentioned out loud.
Unusual atmosphere. Immediately, Prince Moyongâs hand, which was trying to capture Hong Ik-cheon, flinched.
Hong Ik-cheon said as he leisurely downed his teacup.
âNamgoongin wanted to be the best. âThe funny thing is that they didnât even know what exactly they were trying to be the best at.â
âYouâ¦â
âOnly the best was his desire. Perhaps even if Namgung became the best swordsman in the world, he would not be satisfied even if he himself became the best swordsman in the world. why? âBecause in his eyes, everything related to himself had to be the best.â
ââ¦!â
âHe would never stop until Namgung became the best in the world, he himself became the best in the world, and furthermore, his children also became the best.â
Hong Ik-cheon smiled brightly.
âThe ultimate obsession, even blind. âI just kindly blew on him as he walked that precarious tightrope.â
ââ¦.â
âIn that ridiculously weak gust of wind, Nangong Gaju fell to the bottom of the rope.â
âWhat kind of bullshit is that!â
Moyong shouted for the first time.
Even when he was quite angry, he never showed a disheveled appearance in front of others.
It was that much of a shock. He, too, has long thought of Hong Ik-cheon as a trustworthy junior and a young man worth learning from.
A young talent who became the center after his conversion.
Although I have never lived for him, I was able to stand up straight thanks to this young man who appeared like a ghost once in a while when I was feeling empty and asked me to have a drink.
But he was such a ridiculous person.
âI failed for the first time.â
Hong Ik-cheonâs expression was still relaxed.
No, he seemed like a person who didnât know any other facial expressions. The expression he was making now seemed like a very human-like mask, but at the same time, it was not a mask at all.
A face without guilt, sadness, sympathy, benevolence, or anything else.
His face, with its bright smile, seemed to embody all the hearts of the universe.
âFor the first time, I couldnât control an object the way I wanted. That is the head of the family.â
âyou!â
âI said this to the head of the family who was drunk and mumbling about whether my change was really right.â
Why should it change? Itâs good as is.
Prince Moyong was able to recall those words as vividly as if he had heard them just yesterday.
âWhy should it change? âItâs good just the way it is.â
ââ¦.â
âIf it were the people Iâve seen so far and the personality of the head of the family that I know, then they should have gone back to the way they were before. It should have been a runaway. âEverything that had been suppressed and held in for so long should have exploded and become much more insidious and vicious than before.â
ââ¦.â
âThe head of the family was different. Instead, he smiled and said this to me.â
I came back from the dead, but I have to change something so I donât get called stupid.
âYou came back from the dead, but you have to change something so you donât get called stupid.â
Moyongâs eyes were bloodshot.
âYou are such an interesting person for being the first to cause me frustration. âIs it because I was a person who died once and came back, so no matter what, it was different?â
ââ¦.â
âOne day is enough for a person to go crazy. One incident is enough. âIt looks like the matriarch has already gone through that process.â
Hong Ik-cheon smiled and continued.
âCall the people you came with. Iâm ready.â
