< Episode 91: The Past of Wolak Sword (2) >
“Three hundred years ago… What do you mean, Confucius?”
Sima Ying, who was dumbfounded by my words, asked.
This reaction was naturally expected.
It is said that he defeated Geumsangje, who was called the worst tyrant 300 years ago, but it may sound like an absurd joke.
“Hmph!”
Sima Ying covered her lips with her palm and muttered.
“No way, Confucius, you are actually much older than your father…”
“…..no.”
It can be misunderstood like this.
She must have thought I had been alive for over three hundred years.
I think you can think that way just by hearing the words.
“Remember that foggy forest?”
“ah! that’s right. What happened then? “You said you would let me know later.”
Sima Zac also looked at me curiously, wondering if he was interested in what Sima Ying said.
-Are you sure you want to talk?
Sodamgeom asked me.
I think I should tell you some, if not all, of it.
It was no longer anyone else’s business, and it is no exaggeration to say that my father-in-law and Sima Ying were at the center of this matter.
They also need to know something about him.
“I was on my way to Wuhan. “Suddenly, a forest of fog appeared in front of us.”
“I heard that from Youngie.”
“Then the story would be faster. After entering the foggy forest, I was able to enter Dohwaseon, which was called the paradise of ancient Taoists.”
“train of powder?”
The two people were puzzled.
There was no way that this name would have become known to the world.
It seemed better to mention him directly.
“It is a place created by Master Geomseon and other enlightened teachers who transcended time and space to escape the secular world.”
“Inspection?”
As soon as those words were out, my father-in-law’s eyes widened.
Is there anyone among the martial arts people who wields a sword who does not know the great name of Geomseon?
Sima Ying was also surprised and asked me.
“It’s not the swordsman I know, is it?”
“that’s right. “It’s that sword line.”
“No way! It is known that Geomseon was a Uhwadeungseon a long time ago. “A person like that was in that foggy forest?”
To be precise, he simply left this world along with other Taoists.
It is said that it came down distorted and became a fable.
Of course, the teachers’ final goal is to climb the mountain.
For this purpose, we are cultivating the Tao in the Dohwaseon.
“……It’s hard to believe what you say. “The gold award system and the swordsmanship are the same.”
“I think you will.”
No one will believe it.
This might be better than trying to explain it in words.
If Master Geomseon knew, he would have scolded me, but what could he do?
I pulled out the Namcheon Iron Sword from its scabbard.
-Sreung!
“They say seeing is worth seeing, so let me show you.”
“What did you say?”
“This is part of the Cheondun Sword Technique taught to me by Master Geomseon.”
‘!?’
My father-in-law’s eyes lit up when he heard the term Cheondungeonbeop.
In the world, it was Geomseon’s Cheondun Sword Technique that was known to have been lost because he was a fable and did not have successors.
Let’s raise the brain energy and focus with the sword,
-Pachichichichik!
A blue lightning coiled around the body of the Namcheon Iron Sword.
At that sight, my father-in-law’s narrowed eyes widened.
An expert at the level of my father-in-law would have immediately recognized that the energy felt from the sword was unusual.
“this…..”
“This is the Thunder Sword Cheondun of Cheondun Sword Technique.”
“Confucius…really…did you learn swordsmanship from Geomseon?”
Sima Ying asked with a trembling voice.
I nodded my head casually.
Sima Ying continued to exclaim in exasperation and muttered, “It’s nonsense.”
If Youngyoung saw this, he might have had quite a reaction.
-I guess so.
Sodamgeom giggled.
My father-in-law, who stared at the blue lightning for a moment, opened his mouth.
“When Geomseon, the best sword in the world, swung his sword, it seemed as if lightning came down from the sky… The legend was not just a rumor.”

I too have heard that legend.
But it was true.
“…You have gained the gift of heaven.”
My father-in-law spoke to me in a somewhat trembling voice.
I could hear a strange sense of envy in that voice.
Is there any swordsman who would not be envious of the fact that no one else has succeeded in the progress of the swordsman who was called the best swordsman in the world?
“I was lucky.”
After demonstrating the Thunder Sword and Heavenly Dungeon of the Heavenly Sword Technique, saying that seeing is better than hearing, the reactions of my father-in-law and Sima Ying were noticeably different from before.
-Tatak!
So, I took down my sword, sat down, threw dry twigs into the bonfire, and said,
“Everything I’m going to tell you from now on is the truth.”
I slowly talked about what happened in the foggy forest.
The entire process from Dohwaseon’s ill-fated relationship with Geomseon’s first disciple, Ja Kyung-jeong, to being trapped in that timeline and meeting Geum Sang-je.
“Huh.”
The father and daughter could not help but be amazed as they spoke.
Of course, not everything was said.
Some important things were not revealed, such as the story about the Seven Stars Gate, which can hear the sound of swords, and the fact that this is not the first time that they have gone back in time like this.
But I told them everything about the situation I was in.
After hearing the whole story, Sima Ying’s eyes filled with tears.
“I didn’t even know that seven months here was such a long time for Confucius…”
“are you okay. “But you came back safely.”
Sima Ying also said that a woman is a woman.
I think this is the first time she has shed so many tears.
After hearing the whole story, my father-in-law’s expression was not very good, as if he was taking the situation seriously as well as my comfort.
“Then it seems highly likely that the person named Geum Sang-je was so afraid of you back then that he didn’t show himself properly until now.”
As expected, my father-in-law’s insight was outstanding.
After hearing what I had experienced so far, I inferred a similar situation.
Sima Ying said as if she was worried about her father-in-law’s words.
“Then maybe what he’s really after is Confucius.”
“I’m not sure, but it might be.”
The only person who instilled fear in him was me.
You will want to overcome that fear.
“The fact that the expert who was said to have overcome the wall at the time waited hidden behind the scenes for over 300 years may mean that he was very cautious and careful.”
“I also have the same thoughts as my father-in-law.”
“Hmm.”
I think that if the Geumsangje comes from behind, it will be one of two things.
It must have been when he was convinced that he had clearly surpassed me, the descendant of Geomseon, or when he was convinced that the being that I was was no longer targeting him.
My father-in-law said to me as he stroked his mustache.
“Maybe I know what he’s after.”
“yes?”
“Do you think Geumsangje has achieved perfect eternal life?”
I shook my head at that question.
After all, he is my father-in-law.
I was thinking the same thing.
Until now, I have been wondering about the difference between two eyes with gold eyes and one eye with gold eyes.
And there was only one conclusion.
“The eternal life of Geumsangje is incomplete. “It is not enough to say that you have achieved complete immortality, from slow recovery if you get wet to death if you cut your head.”
“I think so too. “If you are truly immortal, there can be no weaknesses.”
If this happens, one more thing can be inferred.
It is the existence of two golden eyes, Seobok.
It was clear that Geumsangje had achieved half of the immortality after receiving the same Geumsang body treatment as me through him.
On the other hand, Seobok is completely immortal.
Geumsangje locked up such a person and tried to catch him again.
Until now, I didn’t know the identity of Geumsangje or Seobok, so it was difficult to predict what he wanted.
But now it is different.
What he wants through Seobok is,
“It seems that Geumsangje is trying to achieve complete immortality.”
My father-in-law nodded as if he agreed with what I said.
“The reason he hasn’t shown up until now may be because he thinks you, like other Daoists, have taken the elixir of eternal life called Dragon Tiger Forbidden. “It’s probably because of your last warning.”
It is truly an unfortunate incident.
My last words were what bound him.
[Don’t forget. I will continue to watch Your Majesty as long as she lives and breathes. I hope you don’t lose your only life by being noticed by me.]
He must have considered immortality to be the minimum condition for competing with me.
Only then will they be able to produce male and female offspring.
My father-in-law sighed and spoke in a serious voice.
“Ah… I should have risked my life somehow to catch that guy back then. “Maybe he could have achieved perfect eternal life by now.”
My father-in-law thought that Seobok was in the hands of Geumsangje.
“We don’t know that yet.”
“I do not know yet?”
“Seobok originally helped Geumsangje. However, the reason is unknown, but he was imprisoned in Bonglim Valley for a long time by Geumsangje.”
My father-in-law, who heard what I said, said it was right.
“It could be because Seobok disobeyed him.”
“yes. “If Seo Bok had been able to tell someone the secret to eternal life so easily, Qin Shi Huang would also have been ruling the Central Plains until now.”
However, Seobok disappeared as mentioned in the story.
There is no way that a person like that would have told a tyrant comparable to Qin Shi Huang the secret to eternal life.
That’s why the relationship between the two went sour and they could have been trapped in Bonglim Valley until now.
“ah!”
At that time, it suddenly occurred to me.
This is the treasure that Seobok created the five magic swords and divided up the maps to hide them.
‘King Pyeong’s tomb!’
-What happened?
‘I hid it there.’
-Eh?
Seo Bok asked Master Gu Yaja to keep the swords from gathering in one place.
And these magic swords were made so that ordinary people could not have them.
What do you think needs to be hidden that would make it that difficult to collect?
-Huh?
This is the true secret to eternal life.
That must be the treasure Seobok is hiding.
So Geumsangje must have gone to any lengths to somehow obtain the five magic swords.
-That’s right! Wait a minute, Unhwi. So it’s not a big deal?
‘Big deal?’
-If a guy named Seo-bok fell into Geum Sang-je’s hands, wouldn’t you try to find out by torturing him?
This is the key.
If I were Seobok and I was definitely going to hide the secret to eternal life, I would have asked the master craftsman Gu Yaja to make the map without even myself knowing.
-Seobok probably hid it himself, but is there any way he didn’t know?
That’s the problem.
Even if the map was like that, it would not have been possible to hide the secret of eternal life by entrusting it to someone else.
In that case, Seobok himself may know the location.
In the end, if Seo Bok finally surrenders to Geum Sang-je, the secret to eternal life may have entered his hands.
‘I don’t have time to stay like this.’
We need to find out whether the secret to eternal life has come into his hands or not.
There is a simple way.
You must go to King Pyeong’s tomb and see if there is any treasure.
That way we can find out if it got into his hands.
If he achieves perfect elixir of life, he may have to face his worst enemy.
I spoke carefully to my father-in-law.
“Father-in-law. “Do you mind if I ask you a favor?”
“ask?”
My father-in-law, who was puzzled, nodded.
So, I took out a lucky bag from my pocket and took out two pills.
“that?”
“This is a summons group.”
These were two of the three summoning pills obtained from the Shaolin Temple.
I handed them over to my father-in-law and Sima Ying, one by one.
“For my father-in-law, further strength will not mean much, but if you take the Summoning Dan, you will be able to recover your strength more quickly.”
“But why do I have this precious thing?”
He was puzzled when he saw the summons that Sima Ying had given him.
I said with a grin.
“It will help you.”
I would like to give Sima Ying a big treat, but I think this should be saved just in case.
Even getting 10 years of experience would be of great help to her.
“Heh.”
Sima Ying held the summons I gave her tightly.
At that time, my father-in-law asked me.
“What favor did you give me that you even gave me the summons?”
“I was going to go myself, but I think I would be running out of time.”
“What do you mean?”
“I want my father-in-law to go to the green forest with Young.”
“green wood?”
Unlike my father-in-law who was questioning me, Sima Ying immediately understood what I was saying.
Those including Jwabaek from Nokrim did not return.
I tried to step forward, but in the current situation where Seobok is in Geumsangje’s hands, I don’t think I can afford to do so.
“Has he come back yet?”
“If what Ah Song said is true, something seems to have happened to them. “I feel sorry for my father-in-law, but I hope you can save my acquaintances and subordinates.”
If my father-in-law is inactive, there will be no difficulty in dealing with Nokrim unless it is Geumsangje.
My father-in-law frowned at my request and asked.
“It’s not difficult, but what are you trying to do?”
“I will go straight this way and fly to the place where I think Seobok hid the treasure.”
“what? “How can you do that?”
My father-in-law was surprised again.
It was obvious that explaining everything about the sword would take a long time, so I explained it briefly.
“I happened to obtain part of a map that Seo Bok left a long time ago. In fact, the reason I headed to Wuhan was to see what was there.”
“…I guess you were convinced that that was the secret to eternal life.”
“For now, I think that’s the case.”
In response to my words, Sima Ying said to me:
“Wait. Confucius. “Then, rather than going alone, I would rather go with my father…”
“no. “What he said is right.”
“yes? “Father, but…”
“If you move alone by sword flight, you will get there quickly, but if you and I move together, it will take even more time.”
“ah……”
Sima Ying looked at me with a sigh.
I guess the thought of sending me there alone makes me worried.
“don’t worry.”
I patted her head as she looked up with round eyes like a kitten.
Sima Ying stuck out his forehead and looked at him with eyes full of anticipation, but he shook his head slightly, saying that was not the case.
I won’t be able to kiss you on the forehead because my father-in-law is worried about me.
After telling the regretful woman where we would meet again, I boarded the Namcheon Iron Sword and flew up to the Geogeom Flight, saying a favor to my father-in-law.
* * *
Sima Ying, looking at Jin Yunhui flying with the sword, sighed and said to his father, Wolakgeom Sima Chak.
“I’m worried that you seem to be trying to handle it on your own, Confucius.”
Hearing her words, Sima Chak shook his head and said,
“Wouldn’t it be better to worry about this father?”
“It was because my father was injured, but he is still stronger than Confucius.”
Sima Chak sighed and laughed at those words.
When Sima Ying looked puzzled, Sima Chae snorted and said.
“Do you think the man who will become your husband will be weaker than me?”
“yes?”
When she asked a question, Sima Chak cleared his throat and ruffled her hair as if he didn’t want to answer anymore.
“evil! “What are you doing?”
“You take after your mother, so you have quite the eye for men.”
‘!?’
The corners of Sima Ying’s mouth, who was smoothing her tangled hair, went up in response to the praise that flowed from her father Sima Chae’s mouth.
