Episode 213
Dalkak-
“Let’s have it, we brew high-quality tea that can only be found in Yuldo Province.”
“Drink well.”
Slurp-
Jinhyuk lifted the teacup in front of him and took a sip, smiling slightly.
‘It sure tastes good.’
The aroma that comes out as soon as you touch it, as well as the sweet yet bitter taste that fills your mouth, clearly shows that the term ‘high-quality tea’ is not an illusion.
Even Gil-dong, who was grumbling, kept his mouth shut and just sipped the tea, so Jin-hyuk was confident that it was a high-quality tea and savored it leisurely.
“Does it suit your taste?”
“Good, I’ve never drank anything like this in my life, but I’m feeling pretty strong today.”
“The price was a little high, though.”
“… … To be honest, it wasn’t something I wanted to experience again. “If I get hit a few more times, I don’t think I’ll be able to tell the difference between reality and illusion, no matter how much I am.”
“That’s the trick of genjutsu.”
Jinhyuk stuck out his tongue when he saw Woohee smiling and raising the corners of her mouth.
‘I feel sorry for Gil-dong. He will be captured for the rest of his life.
Slurp-
By the time Gil-dong finished drinking his tea, he was looking sideways at Jin-hyuk and Woo-hee, who did not stop drinking their tea while talking.
Jorororok-
“Let’s have another drink.”
“I don’t refuse.”
“Similarly, the main topic as well.”
“I can’t refuse it anymore.”
With Woohee filling up their empty cups again, they brought up the main reason they came here. * * *
“You want to learn genjutsu?”
“Yes, I also saw Gildong’s wind and brain techniques… … . I don’t really have any inspiration. So, I’m going to look into other people’s Taoist arts as well.”
“Hmm, not bad. It’s not a bad thing to look at other people’s work to create your own. Above all, considering that I was an ordinary person who knew nothing about Taoism, going slowly might actually mean going faster.”
Jinhyuk’s purpose.
When I told Woo-hee that I was looking at other Taoists’ Taoist arts to gain input for the creation of Taoist arts, and that the target was Woo-hee, she nodded as if she understood.
This is because it is a reasonable choice considering that the person creating Taoist arts was someone who did not even know a single Taoist skill until recently.
“So, how did you feel after seeing my genjutsu?”
Taoist experience to accumulate input.
Jinhyuk frowned when Woohee asked him how he felt about it.
“It was the worst attack I’ve ever experienced.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Gil-dong, who had been sipping tea as he saw Woo-hee smiling brightly with his head down, looked at her with a wry expression and laughed heartily.
That’s because Woohee doesn’t usually smile.
But the bright smile didn’t last long.
Woohee’s mouth, which had returned to its original expressionless face, opened again.
“Did you get inspired by my genjutsu?”
“… … I don’t think I gained much. Genjutsu is definitely a good Taoist technique, but… … . I don’t really think that it suits my martial arts skills well. “I don’t even know what my magic is in the first place.”
“It’s my first time seeing someone with the qualities of a Grand Master, but I’m sure I’ll gain something from this conversation. “Please think about it carefully.”
“Thank you for your words.”
Jinhyuk smiled and nodded slightly at Woohee’s words of comfort and encouragement that he could do it, despite saying that he had not gained anything from this incident.
“I think you can come visit often.”
“I’ll add it to my to-do list for the day.”
“I am truly grateful that someone who completed the construction work came to visit us.”
“Instead, next time you come, you don’t have to give me this welcome greeting.”
“Let’s do that.”
The memory of playing with illusions without even knowing the sun was setting was never a good memory for Jinhyeok.
Of course, thanks to that, I was able to experience genjutsu deeply, but it was not an experience I wanted to go through again.
“Let’s take a look and listen. “If I listen to what you see, I may find something that can be helpful to me as well.”
“Not bad. “First of all, I would like to ask if I can learn a little more about your genjutsu and your abilities.”
Still, it wasn’t like there was no curiosity about Woohee’s magic, illusions, and Woohee’s other abilities.
Therefore, Jinhyeok asked her if he could ask her about them despite being rude.
“It’s nothing difficult. However, you will have to promise not to disclose it anywhere.”
“Those are the pants I want. “That way, you will be able to tell everything about yourself with more peace of mind.”
Woohee’s answer to Jinhyuk’s question was YES.
However, although he put a condition on not revealing information about himself to the outside world, that was exactly the condition Jinhyeok wanted.
If there is no confidentiality clause, Woohee will be reluctant to reveal his information, and if that happens, Jinhyuk, who had no intention of revealing it in the first place, will be the only one to lose.
Therefore, Jinhyeok immediately agreed to it, but Woohee had one more condition.
“Instead, I also want to know about you. “About Cha Jin-hyuk, the leader of Yeokcheon, a guild that formed an alliance with Yuldo-guk.”
He also wants to know about Jinhyuk.
That was the second condition Woohee put forward.
A guild allied with one country.
It was to resolve questions about Jinhyeok, the owner of the place, and furthermore, to determine whether the place was dangerous to Yuldo-guk.
“… … “Then is the contract concluded?”
Naturally, it could be said that this was a condition that Jinhyeok did not need to refuse.

Jinhyeok is already on the same boat as Yuldo-guk.
Aren’t you quite close with Gil-dong, the owner of Yuldo-guk?
Therefore, without hesitation, Jinhyeok asked if the contract was concluded.
“Yes, then let me talk first.”
“Listen.”
Woohee responded by nodding her head.
So two people.
No, the three of them, including Gildong, who was sipping tea alone and unable to participate in the conversation, began a conversation. * * *
“If we broadly divide the abilities passed down through the family, they can be said to be weapon skills, martial arts, and martial arts.”
“I understand the first two, but what is the statement?”
Weapon skills include swordplay and fan wielding.
The martial arts would be the illusions and magic shown earlier.
However, in the case of the statement, it was an ability I had never heard of before, even though Jinhyeok had experienced everything from mountain warfare to aerial combat within the tower.
However, upon hearing Woohee’s explanation that followed, Jinhyeok was able to roughly understand what the statement was.
“Ordinary Taoist arts can be used directly by simply indwelling the weapon one uses or manipulating nature itself. But genjutsu is a little different.”
“Like what happened to me?”
“you’re right.”
“… … The whole forest out there is one statement. Am I right?”
The forest where I first met Woohee.
The forest is full of ropes and talismans.
They are not just meaningless fluttering decorations, but a medium that forms a true essence.
Realizing that, Woohee nodded to Jinhyeok’s question.
“Yes, that is correct. “The spiritual mountain that our family possesses itself has deep illusory power.”
“It’s not a forest, it’s a mountain… … . Jeon Woochi. Am I right?”
However, what Jinhyeok did not know was that not only the forest was the area of statement, but the entire mountain was the area of statement.
Jinhyeok, who realized this, was convinced that there was only one person who could make such a statement.
Jeon Woochi.
This person founded Yuldoguk together with the founders Hong Gil-dong and Kanglim Doryeong.
Other than that, there was no Taoist master who could cast illusions and spells on an entire mountain of this size, so the inference was easy.
“… … Did you know? Yes, that’s right. In the past, the founder of the mountain was able to create the current spiritual mountain because he personally cast a magic spell on the entire mountain. “Now, it is a complete statement that cannot be touched, not only by the elders of the clan, but even by those who have already passed away.”
Woohee was a little surprised by Jinhyeok’s words, as if he knew Jeon Woochi, but quickly nodded in agreement.
Woohee said that over a long period of time, the statement made by Jeon Woochi was so perfect that even countless talented people born in Jeon’s family and those who went through hard training could not touch it and had no reason to touch it.
And Jinhyuk couldn’t really refute those words filled with pride.
‘It would be strange to ignore something like that after being treated so harshly.’
Jinhyeok, who recalled the memory of sparring with Woohee while trapped in an illusion just now without realizing that time had passed, trembled involuntarily and shook his head.
“Then tell me some other things too. “I’m talking about weapon techniques, senjutsu, or phantom techniques.”
“It’s nothing difficult.”
“Weapon techniques are swordsmanship and senjutsu, and genjutsu, as you saw earlier, is focused on self-immolation.”
“Oh yeah. That was really annoying. “I can’t tell the difference between real and fake. How did you do that?”
Jinhyuk showed interest in illusions rather than weapon skills.
He didn’t think it suited him that much, but he couldn’t tell the difference between real and fake alter egos, and using the alter ego to draw attention and use force was the best way to not only irritate but also confuse the person he was interacting with.
Woohee nodded to him.
“It’s a way to split the sword and split the body. Actually, there is nothing difficult. “You can do it with the feeling of replicating the real thing.”
“… … “I think that might be difficult.”
Making fakes real.
This means that something real can become fake.
Thinking about that, Jinhyuk got chills.
‘Perhaps all the Woohees I cut in the space of the illusion were actually not fake but all real, and Bey was replaced with a fake at that moment… … . ‘That’s creepy.’
All Woohee is real and fake.
In a split second, you change yourself into a fake and the main body moves backwards using the axis.
It was a method of fighting that was horrifying even to imagine.
but.
Nod-
The moment Jinhyuk saw Woohee nodding as if she knew what was going on, he realized that his imagination had become reality.
“… … “Is this an opponent you can beat?”
“To break the Cheonnaji net, it is done in one fell swoop with great force. If you do exactly what it says, you will be able to win.”
“… … “It’s really a method of destruction without an answer.”
As in an illusion, it sweeps the surrounding area with a powerful force and destroys both the main body and the powdered body, or kills them without even having time to transform into the powdered body.
Jinhyuk stuck his tongue out at the thought that there was only one of the two.
“I think I’ve roughly said what I wanted to say, but now is it my turn to ask a question?”
“Yes, as much as you want.”
Woohee’s turn to ask questions has arrived.
‘What question are you going to ask? My abilities? My past? Something about Yeokcheon?’
As Jinhyuk waited for the question, his mouth felt dry because he didn’t know what question Woohee was going to ask.
“Is there a woman you have in mind?”
“Puheuuu-”
“Ugh- bro, if you spray that on me- uh… … . Woohee, what does that mean! “Why are you asking your brother that?”
After hearing Woohee’s first question, Jinhyuk had no choice but to squirt the tea he was drinking in Gildong’s face.
