Episode 152. sow the seeds (2)
Fain!
The blade of the spear, which he slashed with restraint, shone coldly in the moonlight.
“Hoo-wook.”
Jongrisan’s body, which had been out of breath, was drenched in sweat.
“Is it a little short?”
He looked at a rock in the distance.
Tuduk! Took!
Dozens of solid lines were drawn on a rock the size of a house.
But that was it. There were shattered and broken parts, but not cleanly split.
Seruk.
After reaping the Sea Dragon Spear, Jongrisan’s face was filled with regret.
“As expected, it is difficult.”
Then, a voice came from behind.
“Isn’t that great?”
Jong-ri-san looked back.
Before I knew it, Seo-ryang was walking towards the entrance of the bamboo forest.
“The act of stabbing a spear is a qualification. If it had been loaded with energy, it would have been normal if a hole the size of a spear was pierced in the rock. However, only the incontinence is drawn as if it was cut with a spear blade.”
Jongrisan lowered his head.
“Are you here, lord?”
Seo Liang shook his hand.
“It’s embarrassing, so just call me Gongja.”
“It can’t be.”
Unlike Ma Dong-pil, who is blunt but flexible in his own way, Jong-ri-san was a fairly straightforward man. I couldn’t change it just because I was told to change my name.
She shrugged her shoulders and came closer to him.
“A moonlight training? Lucky.”
“Nothing.”
“It’s nothing.”
Xu Liang looked at a rock far away.
“Four feet away from this chapter. Harl showed off such skills with his inner workings… … Indeed, the head of the Chilga is not just anyone.”
“Compared to my master, I still lack a lot.”
“Of course that is true.”
Zhongli-san asked.
“Are you done talking with Geum Ga-joo?”
Xi Liang did not answer.
He stared blankly at the rock and reached out his hand to Jongrisan.
“The window.”
Ask a warrior to borrow weapons.
Even the relationship between a lord and a servant was not polite. However, Jongrisan handed over the Sea Dragon Spear without the slightest hesitation.
“Ohh?”
Xu Liang, who had wielded the Sea Dragon Spear a few times, admired it quietly.
“Is this a thing? The balance between the spear pole and the spear blade is exquisite. The risk of breakage is reduced to the limit by mixing soft iron properly. It’s not just a horseman.”
Booung! Booung!
A spear wielded casually. A silver spear blade cut through the air.
Seo Liang smiled.
“I don’t know which artisan made it, but I’m lucky.”
“thank you. But… … .”
“huh?”
Jongrisan asked as if he was surprised.
“Have you ever held a spear?”
“window? of course.”
“indeed… … The swinging motion was very natural.”
Booung! Boooooong!
Center the window frame and rotate it properly. It didn’t seem like he was putting much effort into it, but the spear seemed to come alive on its own.
“It’s not just windows. The axe, the whip, the mandarin duck, the moon moon sword, the bun, etc., there is no weapon that I haven’t mastered.”
“You are amazing.”
“Nothing great. It’s because I’ve only used whatever I could get my hands on. Wield a teacup or a carcass of an animal if need be, well.”
“A corpse?”
chuck.
Seo Liang stopped holding the spear and scratched his head.
“It’s actually not that difficult to say that it’s a military technique.”
“yes?”
She showed her thumb and index finger slightly apart.
“No matter if it’s the best in the world or the best in the world, as long as you’re a human being, you’ll die if there’s a hole this big in your chest.”
“… … ?”
“It doesn’t matter whether the length of the sword is long or short, whether it is a spear, an ax or an arrow. Isn’t martial arts created just to produce that one result?”
“… … !”
“No matter what you use, if you can produce the result, you can say that you have used the weapon in your hand efficiently.”

Zhongli Mountain’s eyes shook.
The master gave the same advice he gave to Ma Dong-pil. But the words were the same, but the content was completely different.
He told the military to properly understand the sword in his hand, but
The lord is talking about the martial art of making the right result with whatever is in your hand.
In other words, he said the principle of martial arts, and the master said the principle of death.
It’s the same thing, but it’s a completely different interpretation. It was directly telling how the two had lived so far.
“You can tell how to use a weapon by looking at its shape. That’s why the martial arts you used just now are amazing. Because the act of stabbing resulted in cutting.”
Seruk.
Seo Liang lowered his stance.
Holding the Sea Dragon Spear and pulling it back, he pushed his left arm forward.
“To use it properly, you need to swing it with this feeling.”
Fain!
Xiliang thrust out the Sea Dragon Spear.
Whoops.
Bamboo leaves floated in the air and swirled round and round around the Sea Dragon Spear.
Swoop.
Zhongli Mountain’s eyes widened.
Kugu Palace!
The rock collapsed, breaking into dozens of pieces.
Xiliang handed the spear to Zhonglishan.
Zhongli Mountain fell silent.
“how… … ?”
“Whether it is the extreme of martial arts or the extreme of death, in the end there is only one result. In other words, it is the end of the world.”
“… … !”
“You stabbed the spear and ended up cutting it. But your perception is limited to the spear.”
Shiliang patted his head.
“I threw out the spear, but didn’t your qi move along with the slash of the spear? It’s an extension of it. Imagine what you are holding is a sword, not a spear.”
“A sword?!”
“Isn’t it a sword that shortens the spearhead and lengthens the spearhead?”
For a moment, Jongrisan was shocked as if he had been hit in the back of the head.
Squeak.
Once again, Mt. Jongri takes a slow pose.
Jongrisan, who had raised his concentration with calm breathing, stopped breathing at some point.
thud!
The strong recoil rising from the ground surged from the lower body to the upper body in a whirlwind.
Whoa!
A spear slashed like a flash.
At the same time, a solid line was drawn on the dozen or so bamboo trees behind the rock.
Do-do-do-doo-doo-duk!
Soon, dozens of bamboo trees split into hundreds of pieces.
Jongrisan opened his mouth involuntarily. In a moment of realization, he threw a spear, but he did not know that he would really succeed.
“Imagination.”
Surprised, Zhongli Mountain looked at Xi Liang.
Seo Liang smiled and continued.
“Living or fighting is an expression of will. Will is the desire to do something. If you put a little imagination on it, there’s no way your martial arts will be shaken, right?
“… … okay.”
“It is the same. It doesn’t matter which weapon you use. Match your qi with what you aspire to. That alone makes a lot of things easier.”
Jongrisan, who straightened his posture, bowed his head deeply.
“I was taught a lot. Thank you.”
“What is the teaching? I just scraped together some crude words and said it plausibly.”
“Even the same words are perceived differently depending on the situation.
I don’t know how to repay this grace, since I realized the unresolved martial arts through the advice of Confucius.”
“Grace… … .”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“It makes people very embarrassed. But if you feel you owe something back, can you do me one favor?”
Seruk.
Jongrisan got down on one knee.
“Your lord just gives you an order. The word request is not easy to handle.”
“Oops. I need to get used to this relationship too.”
Seo Liang sat down in his seat.
Seo Liang with his back straight and his arms crossed. A little trouble showed on his face.
“Um, let’s talk about Geumgajoo first.”
“yes.”
“The conversation is over. It’s hard to bring the demons of the Red Saga back to normal right now, but we decided to provide financial support for the next three years.
That’s enough so you won’t be beaten by strangers. Well, given the value of the school’s name, there won’t be anyone who will touch it carelessly.”
“okay.”
“And for three years, I decided to own 30% of Jeoksaga’s shares.”
Zhongli Mountain’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
“Three to… … Are you talking?”
“uh. There are no troops that can be operated right away, and money is more useful than unmanned troops right now.”
Seo Liang pursed his lips.
“I tried to swallow it in one shot, but I only got three quarters. It’s all because of those swordsmen. things like dogs.”
Isn’t that a bit too greedy?
For a moment, he had such a thought, but Jong-ri-san did not let the thought out of his mouth.
In addition, in order to become the successor, you will have to go through various forms of fighting.
Whether it is a war between organizations or a conflict between unmanned people, in the end, money must be supported to exert its power.
the problem is.
“Will Protestantism leave it alone?”
Xu Liang snorted.
“why? Rather, don’t you think that you are more dangerous than the Red Saga?”
“yes?”
“You decided to take me as your lord. If this is interpreted differently, isn’t it an incident that will cause a stir on the school side?”
“… … !”
“That’s why I put in a clause that says until I become the successor.
The relationship between you and me is one that will end unless I become your successor. The same goes for enemies. After all, this whole relationship is only half done.”
Zhongli’s face hardened.
“I didn’t serve the lord while thinking of stepping out.”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“It sounds good to say that we will hold hands until the end, but we should all die in the end. If you don’t like that, you can help me as much as you can.”
Zhongli-san lowered her head. There was nothing else to say.
Seo Liang looked at Jongni Mountain for a while and licked his lips.
“But that’s what I have to say.”
“yes.”
“I have some work to do to get that third.”
Jongrisan realized. It is about this matter that I ask you to ask yourself.
“What is?”
“decoding.”
“… … yes?”
“We need to detoxify the demons of the Red Saga. If you can’t detoxify the fresh money, you won’t get anything, let alone three shares.”
“that… … !”
“It’s not a fair deal. I tried to make a deal with the head of the enemy saga, but there is no head to build a deal with.
If that’s the case, you should eat at least a little of the flesh, but the flesh is all rubbed off, isn’t it?”
“… … .”
“What are you going to do? It’s disgusting to just eat it, and it’s quite enough to fill your stomach if you give up. Then wash it clean and eat it.”
Jongrisan, lost in thought for a moment, said.
“Please give up on the enemy.”
“… … .”
“If you want more power, why don’t you aim for other factions? If I’m with you, one more of the seven houses… … .”
“no.”
Xi Liang’s face became serious.
“I can’t touch anything else. That’s too much of a burden. It’s not simply a matter of power or money, it’s a matter of rumor.”
“… … .”
“And what… … In the process of deciphering the Shinseon Lung, I was thinking of doing something quite fun.”
“yes?”
is it fun?
Seo Liang smiled. It was a chilly smile that surprised Mt. Jongri who was facing him.
“It’s a bit risky, but it could turn the tide of the world.”
“… … .”
“That’s why I came to give you a request, or rather, an order.”
Jongrisan lowered his head.
“What can I do?”
* * *
Ten days later, a Jeon Seo-eung flew into the Yeonju branch.
The letter tied to Jeon Seo-eung’s ankle was from Jongrisan, who had returned to his family that night.
“Confucius.”
“okay.”
After reading the letter, Xi Liang took all four knives and stood up.
“Let’s pack a dazzling gift or a bag before we go home.”
