Episode 570The shadow was dark (2)
âBrother⦠huh?â
Kang Yang opened the door and scratched his head.
Yeon Ho-jeong was sitting cross-legged on the floor. When I saw a slight haze rising from the top of my head, it seemed like I was concentrating on flying.
âWhy donât you at least make a sign.â
Kang-ryang turned around.
At that time, Yeonhojeongâs mouth opened.
âwait a moment.â
âyes? âOh, thatâs right.â
After closing the door, Kang-ryang stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and looked at Yeon-ho-jeong.
Kang Ryangâs eyes deepened.
âDid you notice?â
Not long ago, Yeon Ho-jeong said that her senses were different from before and that she could not read all senses from all directions like before.
At first glance, I thought there was something wrong with my body. But Yeon Ho-jeong said that was not the case.
Changes in martial arts.
It meant that Yeonhojeongâs martial arts, whether regression or development, was facing another change.
âThatâs right.â
A smile appeared on Kang Ryangâs face as he looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
It was a complex smile filled with bitterness, envy, fighting spirit, and pride.
âHeâs a really toxic guy.â
Kang Ryang also tried not to escape from martial arts every moment of the day.
It wasnât a matter of training. It was a matter of mindset and attitude towards life.
And yet, sometimes, he faced moments when his words and actions drifted away from nothingness. At times like that, I consciously returned to martial arts.
Whether eating, drinking, or lying down to rest, I tried to let my body naturally blend into martial arts.
If it happens naturally and unconsciously, from then on every day will be different. Kangryang was so sure.
The reason for confidence was clear.
This was because the person in front of him was consistently maintaining the state that Kang Yang wanted.
âItâs probably not simply because of the integration of life and martial arts. That alone canât explain my brotherâs change.â
Kang Ryangâs eyes deepened.
âWhat kind of world does my brother see? What kind of mindset is your brother living in this world? What efforts are you making to constantly improve?â
I do not know. I couldnât figure it out.
Yeon Ho-jeong trained like everyone else and lived like everyone else. Sometimes it seemed like I lived more leisurely than others.
But the change was more evident than anyone else. We made progress at every moment, and even when we faced moments of regression, we bounced back and used it as a stepping stone for further growth.
âperhaps.â
Kangryang swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
âWe may have already reached a point where physical training is meaningless.â
They say that the more expert you are, the more important it is to have a flash of enlightenment rather than tedious physical training.
Wrong.
Enlightenment itself is important, but it requires constant training to achieve that enlightenment.
The body is the vessel and enlightenment is the content. Even if you attain enlightenment through heavenly luck, it is in vain if your body to accept that enlightenment is not properly trained.
That is why harmony between mind and body is important. Because enlightenment does not come without effort.
In other words, Kang Ryang thought that Yeon Ho-jeongâs body was now in a state where it could accept any kind of enlightenment.
âThat may be why my senses have changed from before. âIt is a problem that can be interpreted as my brotherâs senses becoming blurred as the harmony between mind and body was broken, as he was able to read the flow around him even while he was extremely focused on one thing.â
What if itâs true?
âMy brother is now regaining similar senses as beforeâ¦â
Kang Ryangâs arms with his arms crossed gave strength.
âDoes this mean that you are gradually gaining pieces of enlightenment without even realizing it?â
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes brightened.
âWhoa.â
Kang-ryang uncrossed his arms.
âHow are you feeling?â
âItâs almost normal.â
The effectiveness of the artist group given by the museum was truly amazing.
It guaranteed faster and more stable treatment than any other internal injury medicine I had ever taken. As the doctor says, the deeper the internal injury, the less effective it is, but if you take Hwabaekdan when the internal injury is controlled to some extent, the speed of healing is frighteningly fast.
âamazing.â
Yeon Ho-jeong got up from her lotus position and stuck out her tongue.
âI have never seen an internal wound medicine with this much efficacy. âItâs not called Sacheondanga for nothing.â
Kang-ryang chuckled.
âArenât they people who fiddle with herbs and poisonous plants on a random day? âI donât know about elixirs, but when it comes to healing potions, no sect will be able to match you.â
âI guess so.â
Yeon Ho-jeong twirled his shoulders.
It was not an empty statement to say that I had almost recovered. Just by looking at the movement of his shoulders, you could see that he was no different from usual.
âWhat about Song Ha-shini and the light?â
âItâs in the room on the third floor.â
âHow is your condition?â
Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
âItâs not good.â
He said he even caught the Amipa Myeongjin incident.
Hearing those words, Song Ha-sini looked as if she had almost lost her composure. In fact, I was probably more than shocked.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âWas it until today? âDid the head of the Tang family borrow this guest cup?â
âThatâs right.â
âThen tell everyone to gather on this floor.â
After Lee Gak.
Everyone in the group gathered at the table in the center of this floor.
The atmosphere was quite heavy. This is because Yeon Ho-jeongâs expression was serious when she told him to gather.
âWe need to talk about work soon.â
The eyes of Hwang Seok-tae and Kang Ryang, who lost the party, flashed all at once.
Song Ha-sini, who was sitting next to him, also straightened her back as if she was trying to exert as much strength as possible. His face looked very disfigured, as if he had been in extreme mental pain over the past few days.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
âThere is a place called Nakwonso in Sacheon. And the people who created that paradise cow belong to the Sacheon Samgang.â
Tang Guanâs eyes deepened, and Song Xiniâs complexion became somewhat pale.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
âHonestly, I donât know where to start. âFrom what I heard, it seems to be spreading throughout Sichuan. Even if we uproot it, I donât know how long it will take to get rid of the remnants.â
âfor a moment.â
Kang-ryang raised his hand.
âI heard that it was a paradise place, and I even had a bloody fight with the people there.â
âhmm.â
âI still donât know what paradise is like. âI think we need to know that first.â
Kang Liang looked at the party hall.
âIt seems like the head of the family doesnât know either.â
The official looked at Yeon Ho-jeong without answering.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âThank you.â
âYes yes?â
âPlease explain. âHonestly, without any additions or omissions.â
Song Ha-ni swallowed his saliva.
âOh, I understand.â
She devoted her life to mountain asceticism. Even thinking about what was happening inside the paradise gave me goosebumps.
And I got angry. As a practitioner, I had to control my emotions, but it wasnât easy.
âParadise cowâ¦.â
Song Ha-sini began her explanation.
She was different from Yeon Ho-jeong. The ability to get straight to the point was lacking, some parts were unnecessarily long, and a lot of the content was somewhat emotionally biased.
But everyone who heard her was shocked.
âThatâ¦â
A look of disbelief appeared on Kang Ryangâs face.
âIs that true?â
ââ¦Thatâs right.â
âAh, anyway, they are monks? Arenât Cheongseong and Ami sacred places that are looked upon with envy by Taoist practitioners? âHow can practitioners from a place like that form such a ruthless organizationâ¦?!â
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
âFor a person to become a demon is not a matter of age, gender, or status.â
âbut!â
âOn the contrary, such people can emerge from a group of practitioners who adhere to a clean, sometimes oppressed, and sometimes frustrating life.â
Kang Ryang was dumbfounded.
It wasnât just Kangryang. There was a hint of life in the corners of Paeyulâs eyes.
However, his voice was not as exalted as Kang Ryangâs.
It was calm and simple.
âAt least ten years ago.â
âThatâs right.â
âIt takes a long time to raise such experts. âThey say itâs been at least ten years, but itâs highly likely that itâs been longer than that.â
âI think so too.â
âthe problem is.â
Paeyul frowned.
âThe question is, how on earth did you establish such an organization?â
A look of puzzlement appeared on Song Ha-shinniâs face.
âWhat do you mean by that?â
âShinni. âAn organization or group cannot be created by simply gathering people together.â
âyes?â
âI mean, I need money.â
ââ¦?!â
âThey have so much money that they can build paradises all over Sichuan. âIf such terrible things are being committed in Paradise as Song Ha-sini said, it would cost unimaginable labor costs just to hire that much manpower.â
âah!â
She, who only focused on training at the mountain temple, was particularly weak in this area.
Amifa also followed Buddhism, but of course she was also making money. This was because it was difficult to run a sect properly without making money.
âBesides, they have been teaching each factionâs martial arts to others for over ten years. âUnless all the people I taught were geniuses, I would have needed all kinds of elixirs and training locations to raise that many troops.â
âI see.â
âThey even raised assassins there. I said I didnât specialize in assassinations, but if so, itâs even greater. Intelligence and information control are impossible without relevant knowledge, and training personnel in that field is a much more difficult task than training a master.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âyouâre right.â
âWhere on earth did they get that much money? Even if they say they stole the sectâs public funds, itâs ridiculous considering their organizational strength. There is no way that each faction would not know that such a large amount of money was siphoned off.â
âThat is also correct. âI just want to make one correction.â
Everyone looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong placed his ax on the table.
âIâm a pretty famous person.â
Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
âYouâre not bragging⦠are you?â
âYouâre noisy, man.â
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
âOf course, the stories about me were somewhat exaggerated. However, the most unique thing among the rumors is that they use cavalry called the Gwangryongbu, and the ax is bigger and heavier than a person. âAnyone who sees this will say itâs this guy.â
âThatâs right.â
âBut they didnât know.â
ââ¦huh?â
âThey didnât seem to know anything about me. Because I didnât lift the Gwangryongbu? âEven if you are not part of the Gwangryongbu, there are not many experts at this age who can hold an ax and install it.â
âItâs not that there arenât many, itâs just my brother. âIf you think about the level of martial arts.â
âokay. And yet they seemed not to know me.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
âThe main players can do that. Because youâre so caught up in lust and martial arts training that you donât even know whatâs going on. âI donât think everyone will, but I think the majority will.â
When people are deeply immersed in a field, they stop looking around.
Even if I heard it, I forget it, and even if I saw it, I donât remember it. It does not discriminate between experts or ordinary people.
âBut isnât it a bit strange that those who were raised for intelligence and information control donât know me?â
ââ¦I see?â
âItâs strange. At first, I thought he was just pretending not to know, but that wasnât the case. âThey really didnât know anything about me.â
âThenâ¦â
âSo I think thatâs fortunate.â
âyes?â SÑará´h the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âThank goodness. âIt means that their information power is limited to Sacheon.â
ââ¦!!â
The eyes of the audience sparkled.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
âI think it makes even less sense if they know the details of our situation. âIf it really was like thatâ¦â
The official frowned.
âOpening.â
âExactly. âIt must be said that we joined hands with them until the opening.â
ââ¦.â
âThatâs why Iâm glad. Because we can assume that openness is not part of the same thing as these guys. âI donât know about the twigs.â
Hwang Seok-tae said as if throwing something out.
âThe board is getting huge.â
âIt didnât get bigger. First of all, openness is missing. So that explains it. âThe reason they didnât recognize me.â
âhmm.â
âThey are afraid of opening up. So only information within Sacheon was strictly controlled. âI donât have the energy, space, or time to accumulate more information than that.â
âthenâ¦?â
âTheir world is limited to Sacheon. Itâs no longer the world outside. To them, Sacheon means the whole world. Thatâs whyâ¦â
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
âThe strategy becomes easier.â
