Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 257

< Episode 85 Agent (1) >

A bag from the distant future?

I was momentarily confused by Geomseon’s words.

If we take the words literally, the current Geomseon is not the Baek I met, and that Baek is something that happened in the distant future.

In other words, the swordsman I am currently meeting is…

-Past inspection?

At Sodamgeom’s words, Geomseon nodded, still frowning.

Is the swordsman in front of me really a person from the past?

“under…..”

If I hadn’t experienced regression, I would never believe this.

I just passed through the foggy forest and met a sword ship from the past.

I thought it was strange that in the image, he looked younger than when we met.

-How is the sword of the past present in the present?

Sodamgeom’s words made me wonder, too.

People, including Geomseon, were hidden in a mysterious formation in the foggy forest.

I don’t know how this is happening.

I was about to wonder why, but at that moment, Mosanpa flashed through my mind.

‘Geomseon’s first disciple said there was a Mosan faction.’

Wait a minute, that means…

“……Elder. Where I was from, the Mosan faction had long since become extinct. But he spoke as if the Mosan faction was still alive and well. “Is this the past, or is it the past for me?”

My voice trembled the whole time I spoke.

If this was really the past I thought it was, this wasn’t all that surprising.

It means that I have come to the past.

Geomseon asked me a question with a bright look in his eyes.

“Is the Mosan faction going extinct?”

“That’s right.”

“Huh…so that’s what happened in the end.”

“……Elder. “Didn’t you see my memories yourself?”

I read your memories with Cheonki, but why are you talking like you don’t know?

Geomseon shook his head at my words.

“You just came into contact with another me within you.”

“yes? Are you saying you came into contact with the old man’s bag?”

Now that I think about it, I absorbed the hundred pieces of Swordsman obtained from the second Jibo with the Heavenly Fist.

I thought the bag had melted into me, but does it still exist with a will?

Geomseon sighed and said without letting go of my hand.

“I see how you could get in here. “It was possible because I had Nobu’s bag.”

“Because you have the old man’s bag?”

“Only invited people can enter this fuse. Otherwise, you won’t even be allowed to set foot in the first place.”

So, when you try to enter the foggy forest, it seems like you have escaped from the forest on the other side.

But I also went to the forest on the other side a couple of times.

Then I was able to get in by going upstairs.

‘ah! Prison sentence.’

It seems to have been entered when the prison cell in the Big Dipper was opened.

It could be said that it was truly elaborate.

But the question was still not resolved.

“Honestly, it still doesn’t make sense to me. “I came to this place in the forest of fog. Even if it is as the old man said, why did I come to the past?”

At those words, Geomseon stroked his beard and spoke to me.

“The person named Nobu could definitely be someone from a long time ago for you. “But the fuse here doesn’t have that concept.”

“yes?”

What does this mean?

When I was puzzled, Geomseon answered.

“Fuse is not a place that can be defined by past, present, or future.”

“What does that mean?”

“Dohwaseon is a place where people are completely cut off from everything in order to sever ties with the world. The fuse is nowhere and everywhere. And it is as if there is a certain time and there is no time.”

“…….”

This is a very contradictory statement.

What does it mean to be present in any place and not there, or to be present at any time and not be there?

It is questionable whether that is even possible.

“I still don’t know enough, so it’s hard to understand what the elders are saying. “Could you explain it a little bit easier?”

“Hehe, since you haven’t practiced the Tao, it’s natural that you can’t understand.”

If you learn the Tao, will you be able to understand it?

“This place, Dohwaseon, is a completely independent place, regardless of the time and changes outside. That’s why you were able to come here from the time you were there.”

It’s difficult. It’s difficult.

However, if my rough understanding is correct, the concept of time seems to be completely different here.

Anyway, as Geomseon said, I am not a Taoist who learns the Tao, so there is no need to take this difficultly.

Geomseon clicked his tongue and said.

“It’s truly a coincidence. “After getting the hundred that I will leave behind, I can’t believe that he guessed countless odds and guessed when and where the fuse would open.”

If you listen to it, it seems like there is something beyond chance and chance.

Maybe it was fate that I came here and met Geomseon of the past.

This is truly amazing.

But now that the question has been resolved, there was something more important than that.

“Elder. “If I get out of this fuse, I can go back to the time I was in, right?”

In response to my question, Geomseon released the hand he was holding.

Then he spoke in an urgent voice.

“It almost got into big trouble.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go.”

“You mean now?”

“We must hurry. The entrance to the fuse is constantly changing. If something goes wrong, you may miss the time and place you were originally at.”

“Is that really true?”

If that’s the case, I don’t have time to stay like this.

When Geomseon waved his hand, the body that had been bound by his energy became free.

“I will give the swords back.”

Strangely enough, when Geomseon raised his hand, the disassembled wooden armor came back together and returned to its original form. And the blood demon sword and the love sword that had been lying on the floor floated up and entered the wooden armor.

“Follow Nobu.”

-Sigh!

When Geomseon winked, a sword that was hanging on the wall came flying out.

He turned his back and climbed on top of the sword.

Geomseon told me.

“Now that you understand the prison sentence, you can do it too.”

yes. Of course I know how to do it.

I just can’t take my eyes off it when I see the original form of the sword flying.

‘Namcheon.’

-i get it!

Namcheoncheolgeom lay down on its side so that I could climb on it.

I also got on the sword.

Then, as if the sword had been waiting for him, he climbed on the sword first and escaped out the window.

I also flew after him.

-Shoooooo!

The sword line immediately stretched into the sky in the southern direction where I had flown.

I followed suit and went up, and soon the sun in the sky disappeared and the sky was covered in darkness.

It was truly a strange phenomenon.

The warm air in Dohwaseon also turned very cold.

‘Are you cold?’

At that time, breath flowed out.

‘!?’

It’s not winter now. What on earth is this?

The moment I looked down, I was dazed.

-Woonhwi….the forest is covered with snow.

As Sodamgeom said, the entire forest on the ground was covered in white snow, and the topography of the place was completely different from the forest I was originally in.

A sword came flying on a sword and spoke to me.

“Is this where you came from?”

I responded in a puzzled voice.

“no. “It wasn’t winter when I was there.”

“this…..”

Geomseon also could not hide his embarrassment at those words.

No one could have predicted that something like this would happen.

‘Sama Ying….Ah Song….Lead Baek….’

They were the first thing that crossed my mind.

I don’t know where I am or what time it is, but from the perspective of my companions, they will think that I have disappeared after flying over the foggy forest.

“Elder! “Is there any other way to get to where I was?”

Geomseon spoke to me in a serious voice.

“There is no way that change can occur in such a short period of time.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Follow me.”

The sword changed direction and flew back to where the fuse was.

I felt frustrated, but since there was nothing I could do about it, I followed him.

As we entered the fuse, the sun shone brightly again, revealing Mureungdowon.

The sword passed by temple-like buildings and a lake and headed up the highest hill here.

There I saw a cave-like place.

He got off his sword and gestured for me to follow him.

“Where are we?”

“It’s the center of the fuse.”

“center?”

“Don’t say anything, just follow me.”

“All right.”

I followed the sword and entered the cave.

Normally, when you enter a cave, you would feel a humid atmosphere, but this cave had none of that, as if it had been created artificially.

Rather, I even felt a warm feeling.

What does it feel like to feel even more heat inside the cave?

However, the swordsman frowned, his face became serious, and he launched a new weapon into the cave.

I followed him and picked up speed, but soon a large cavity was revealed.

-Rarrrrrrrrrr!

“What the hell is this….”

The entire large cavity was burning with fire.

The walls inside the cavity were filled with scriptures written in red letters, pasted like talismans, and the fire quickly spread through them.

“ha!”

The swordsman let out a deep sigh and waved his sleeves towards the flames.

Then, the fire that was spreading throughout the cave like a fire was extinguished by strong wind pressure.

-Wheeeeeeee!

The fire was extinguished in an instant with profound engineering power.

The power of the void is so deep that it can instantly extinguish the fire within this large cavity with just a wave of the hand.

I don’t think he’s called a good man for nothing.

“Why did the change happen so quickly?”

“Elder. “How on earth is this happening?”

“…It looks like someone set fire to the thirty-six heavenly directions gate at the center of the fuse.”

“Are you saying you set the fire on purpose?”

Geomseon nodded as if he was sure.

I asked in an anxious voice.

“Does this have anything to do with me running back to where I came from?”

The sword pointed upward.

I didn’t realize it, but when I looked up, there was a small hole at the top of the cavity.

It was a hole the size of a fist, and light leaked through it, stretching out in one direction of the cave.

“If you use this to check the thirty-six heavenly directions, you can look back to see at what point you came, but it has burned down.”

“Then what should I do?”

An ominous feeling came over me.

If this continues, won’t we really be able to return to the original time?

Hearing my words, Geomseon sighed deeply and said.

“I’ll be honest. “You have already missed your time.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It is impossible to guess when and where we originally came.”

‘!!!’

I was left speechless by Geomseon’s words.

So does that mean we can’t go back to the original time?

For a moment, my heart felt heavy.

I was at a loss as to what to do with this.

So do I have to be trapped in a time where I don’t know when?

The worst couldn’t have been this bad.

Then the swordsman said to me:

“I know the direction in which the shadow shines, so if I postpone it and restore the scriptures, I think we can go to a similar time.”

I was dumbfounded by those words.

For a moment, I felt foolish for feeling frustrated with despair.

“Couldn’t you have told me right away? “I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back for no reason…Sir?”

However, Geomseon’s expression was not very bright.

Geomseon said as if he felt sorry.

“Look. How many scriptures do you think were in this cavity?”

I looked around.

Just looking at the paper in the scriptures, it was hard to guess the number.

Judging by the size of the unburned paper and writing, it seemed to be at least thousands of sheets.

But shocking words came out of Geomseon’s mouth.

“A total of three hundred and eighty-six thousand seven hundred and sixty three.”

“…….”

“We have been preparing for Dohwaseon’s independence from the secular world for over ten years.”

Those words made me drool without realizing it.

Looking at the wall, more than a third of it was burned and damaged.

So, if it took four years to build everything as Geomseon said, doesn’t that mean that it will take at least three to four years before it can be restored?

“Then I…”

“I have no choice but to stay here while the scriptures are restored.”

‘!!!’

ah…….

It’s really driving me crazy.

I came to look for Sodamgeom and I don’t know what kind of disaster this is.

The good news is that even if I spend that time here, I should take comfort in the fact that it will be the same time when I leave.

But here, the prosecutor revealed even more shocking news.

“…And even if the restoration of the scriptures is completed, considering the range of error in the scriptures where the light points, there will be at least some time error.”

“How much is that?”

A day or two, or even up to 10 days, is okay.

If it lasts that long, it will be difficult for the group.

However, that wind collapsed cruelly.

“There will be an error of at least a few months and up to a year.”

‘…….ah.’

At that moment, a curse almost came out.

-What should I really do? Everyone will think you’re dead.

That’s what I want to say.

This wouldn’t have happened if that guy, Geomseon’s first disciple, hadn’t taken you by force.

Of course, it was an honor to actually meet him, who was called the best swordsman in martial arts history, but I had no idea what would happen if I was absent for nearly a year without any news.

Geomseon spoke to me as if comforting me.

“It could end with a difference of two or three months.”

“…….”

yes. thank you

It’s not much of a consolation though.

“Did you say that the pale-faced man was your first disciple?”

“Whew. Nobu raised his student wrong. “If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have gone through this.”

“…….”

It was never an easy thing to say that it was okay.

Geomseon spoke soothingly to me.

“A pure friend. As a result, it became toxic and I bumped into it here and there and had many accidents. At least it wasn’t done out of malice. It is based on purity and fairness. “All of this happened because of Nobu’s lack of teachings, so don’t blame that child too much…”

-Tadadadadak!

“execution!”

Before Geomseon could finish speaking, someone ran into the cavity.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a uniform, and everything about him, starting with the energy he gave off, was unusual.

However, the middle-aged monk’s expression was very serious.

Geomseon seemed puzzled and said while looking at him.

“What’s going on? Priests.”

“Female execution. Big trouble…Ahh!”

“Priests?”

“You can’t believe they made a scripture like this! Vigilante Inooooooom!”

A middle-aged Daoist could not help but feel anger as he looked at the damaged amulet scripture in the cavity.

Geomseon couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the word “vigilance,” and asked.

“What does that mean? “A motorboat?”

Now that I think about it, I remember that Geomseon called his first student Gyeongjeong.

I think it’s his name.

But why are you so angry and shouting his name when you see the damaged scriptures?

Could it be that he was the one who started the fire here?

I looked at the sword.

“……..”

Geomseon’s expression was so dark that it could not be described in words.

I don’t know how to express this feeling, but at least it seemed close to extreme disappointment.

Geomseon slowly released his lips.

“What’s going on? Priests.”

“That Vigilante bastard ran away with half of Dohwaseon’s eight tools.”

“what?”

“Two of the monks guarding the Buddhist temple lost their lives. And according to the words of the injured monks, it seems that Yang Seon-i, the second disciple of the executioner who was trying to dissuade him, was also forcibly taken away.”

“How!”

The swordsman stumbled as he must have been so shocked by those words.

I could guess how emotionally damaged he must have been if he, a man of deep discipline, showed himself like that.

There is nothing greater than the feeling of being betrayed by someone you trusted.

Even more so if it is your favorite disciple…..

-Paaaaa!

Intense wind pressure occurred around the sword.

How profound is the power of gong that just by being angry can it create such a wind pressure?

It gives me goosebumps.

I can say for sure that there is no one, not even among the eight major masters or the four major evildoers, who can deal with him.

Geomseon said, looking at the burnt scriptures in the cavity.

“So you’re saying he did this to stop the chase?”

“…I guess so. execution. ha…..”

The Taoist sighed.

Oh, I feel really angry.

So, the reason I’m trapped here in this fuse is because of what he did.

Geomseon raised his voice and shouted.

“Nobu will go out and catch him.”

“Sanhyung, I would like to do that right away, but… Have you forgotten the oath you made to Jeong Yang and Jin-in during the presidential election? “Didn’t all seven of us decide to leave this world and have no more involvement about two hundred years ago?”

Geomseon, who seemed ready to run away at those words, stopped.

My face turned red and then blue, and it seemed like I was trying to calm down my anger.

No matter how deep your discipline is, will it be easy to tolerate it?

I, too, was furious at the guy, but I watched quietly before intervening.

At that time, Geomseon’s eyes narrowed and he spoke to the middle-aged monk.

“Priest…..as long as it’s not us.”

“What do you mean by that?”

The sword slowly turned its head and looked at me.

‘!?’
