Episode 242. Birth of Enma (2)
The water area of Jeokbyeok boasts an enormous width.
Is that why? Everywhere I went, the smell of water vibrated.
However, perhaps because it is so overwhelmingly wide, the fishy smell of water is rather mysterious than unpleasant.
Xu Liang, sitting upright with his eyes closed, looking at the river lapping like the sea, looked quite peaceful.
It didn’t look like he was having a morning meal, but he looked like he was immersed in meditation.
After a while, a woman appeared behind him. She was the goddess Rin.
She opened her mouth and closed her eyes.
“What did you come for?”
“I just want to see the water.”
“I heard that the seascape of the North Sea is also amazing.”
“Sure. But all around it was pure white. It has its own overwhelming side, but if you watch it often, you get tired of it. Standing still is a bit scary.”
“I would do that.”
“The midfield is different. It really has a taste of travel.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Yeo Sang-rin glanced down at Seo-ryang. Xi Liang still had his eyes closed.
“What are you thinking?”
“I’m not thinking about anything.”
“When are you coming from Surochae?”
“Okay? I’m not used to the waterways. If you listen to Kong Yachi, it will arrive in at least half a day.”
“okay.”
Yeo Sang-rin, who was looking at the riverside again, asked as if tossing it.
“Can I just ask you a question?”
“sun.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“What’s up?”
“You said you were going to catch a master at Hwasan and use it until he becomes a rag? What do you mean?”
“What do you mean literally?”
“You’re going to take the real Hwasan Jangman as a hostage?”
“What else can I do?”
I don’t know what else to say.
“The Hwasanpa is one of the famous Gudaemunpa. In particular, it is said that they compete for the top position with shamans in sword studies.”
“know.”
“In other words, it is special even in the old school, which is said to be the best among political factions.”
“I know that too.”
“Taking the Volcano faction leader as a hostage is a completely different matter from taking me or the Sangvis concubine hostage.”
Seo Liang opened his eyes.
he smiled
“yes.”
Yeo Sang-rin, who had been quietly watching Seo-ryang, sat down next to him.
“You have an idea?”
“Then, shall we touch such a big thing without thinking?”
“… … .”
“Of course, there have been many occasions when I bought something without thinking. But not this time.”
Yeo Sang-rin scratched her head.
“Well, I was in a hurry because of me, but it doesn’t look good to ask questions.”
“Don’t talk like that. Thanks to your background, we were able to come out so comfortably. It’s just a minor accident, don’t worry about it.”
Yeo Sang-rin laughed.
“Anyway, the only person who would say that something like this is trivial is the young schoolmaster.”
Seo Liang shrugged.
“I was on my way to kill the fierce anger, but what can I say because I cursed at the iron-blooded castle lord. I don’t really like suppressing my temper just because I have to move secretly.”
“Then, what will you do if a really big accident happens later?”
“If you’re really having a hard time, ask the principal to help you.”
Sangrin Yeo laughed out loud in spite of herself.
“You know what?”
“what?”
“The school principal is a teacher to the young school principal.”
“yes?”
“But the young schoolmaster never called him Master. He has always been the Rector.”
It was a thoughtless statement to her, but Xu Liang flinched.
‘I see.’
Perhaps he recognizes Lee Cheon-sang not as a teacher, but as a companion or an absolute master of the river.
In fact, it was the first time that King Lim Mawanggi studied under Lee Cheon-sang. If I had to say the teachings until then, there was only a map or a sword.
The title you call contains the gaze of how you view the subject. Seo Liang licked his lips.
“Well, he’s a very stiff and arrogant nobleman. He feels more like a master of the Moorim than a teacher.”
“I understand. I sometimes get that feeling from my father.”
“I heard that among the masters of the Four Palaces, the martial arts of the Ice Palace are by far the best. I would do it.”
“It’s not necessarily because of martial arts.”

Still, his love for his father was great. A deep longing hung over Rin’s face as she thought of her ice palace master.
Seo Liang rose from his seat.
“There’s still time left, let’s start soon.”
“What?”
“Did you tell me before? Let’s do some meat training.”
“Do it now?”
“You have a lot of stamina, but what are you doing just resting? At a time like this, try touching martial arts.”
“It’s annoying… … .”
“hey! The master of the extreme horse will give you a sparring personally, but what kind of nonsense is that? It’s not enough even if you say thank you and bow.”
“You manage to say that with your own mouth.”
“Get up, man.”
Yeo Sang-rin grumbled and stood up.
“I thought I was just resting, so I came here for no reason.”
It’s an amazing reaction. Even though he was a Murim man, he did not seem to have any desire for martial arts.
Seo Liang, who opened the appropriate distance, flicked his hand.
“Let’s get on a boat in a refreshing mood after shedding a bucket of sweat.”
“Why is it uncomfortable when you sweat? It’s refreshing… … .”
“It’s noisy, come in here.”
“Sheesh.”
I guess it’s really annoying
His eyebrows furrowed and he mumbled, lowering his stance, but he was extremely sluggish.
Looking at the helplessness he felt, he was worthy of being called the pinnacle master, but I wondered how he had accumulated such great feats with such a personality.
“Okay, then I’ll take a quick look.”
“Don’t come around, properly… … .”
Paaang!
The sage’s eyes widened.
‘See this?’
Sang-rin Yeo sprints before she can even finish her words.
‘Did you hide this divine law?!’
The speed of approach is beyond imagination. She just clicked her tongue out of nowhere, and she was startled.
Yeo Sang-rin, who reached Xu Liang’s face in an instant, swung her hands wildly.
Pupperpuppung! Charleureuk!
The air was blown out and white powder flew. I felt a great chill from the powder that touched my skin. The radiating internal force froze the moist air as it was.
Xu Liang’s fist was thrust out in a straight line.
A moment of urgency flashed on Yeo Sang-rin’s face. She’s a punch that’s not even that fast, but it’s so well-timed that it’s hard to dodge.
Tuoong!
If it is difficult to avoid, you can defend it, and if it is difficult to avoid it, you can distract it. On the raised knee, Xu Liang’s fist shot upward.
‘Huh?’
The sage’s eyes sparkled.
Yeo Sang-rin, who approached at once, distracting the line of attack, swung both hands briefly and elastically.
The career that radiated from Seomseomoksu was amazing. The air around them was frozen and shot, and the whirling chill made my skin tingle.
Puffup! bang!
Several blows and explosions, and a rough wave surrounded the two of them.
The surprise on Xu Liang’s face grew as he moved one by one.
‘Isn’t this right?!’
It was a skill far beyond what I could have imagined.
The ability of the bare-handed white hit had reached a tremendous level. Even his brother, Yeo Kang-hwi, can’t compete with the simple white-handed technique.
His energy is dull, but his creativity and reflexes in unraveling his form deserve praise.
Papababak!
Xi Liang’s body rotated and burrowed into Yeo Sang-rin’s arms.
Perong!
“Keugh!”
Yeo Sang-rin stumbled and stepped back. She was swung in her arms, and her Xu Liang’s elbow attack was not something she could stop at her level.
Yeo Sang-rin, who was preparing for the follow-up, hesitated. It was because Xu Liang, who had loosened her posture, was looking at herself with her strange eyes.
“Aren’t you doing more?”
“… … .”
“Little Master.”
“uh?”
“Aren’t you going to do more?”
“uh… … Yes, I can do this.”
Yeo Sang-rin grumbled and relaxed.
“What, whenever you’re sweating, let’s just taste it.”
“hey.”
“why.”
“Why are you hiding these skills?”
“I never hid it.”
Well, because there was no time to use martial arts.
Seo Liang stuck out his tongue.
“Where the hell did you learn that white tactic? Wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that this is almost top-notch?”
“That’s all right.”
“He doesn’t trust people. And what is the new law? Are you very fast? Is that also an ice palace?”
“Then where will you be?”
“Why did you get arrested even with that good divine law?”
“Kreureung.”
Sangrin Yeo shook her hand.
“It was just a rough patchwork. You’re surprised by something.”
Seo Liang burst into laughter.
‘There are so many geniuses in the world.’
Did you weave the martial arts you learned as a child? It’s something that I can’t even dare to do with some talent.
In addition, seeing that there is no hesitation in punching, it means that he has confidence that he can exert enough power even for his first martial arts.
‘Well, the handiwork you performed when you were hypnotized by the Beast Palace was also amazing. Couldn’t it have been dangerous?’
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
‘Even if I have this kind of talent, I’m not interested in martial arts… … ?’
Somehow it felt like a story.
“Anyway, if you’re going to do this, I’ll go and get some rest.”
“Okay. I was wondering if I could teach you a few tricks as self-defense if my skills were a bit off, but I don’t think there’s any need for that.”
Yeo Sang-rin stuck out her tongue.
“Why are you teaching martial arts when you are a guard commander? You just have to protect it with that sincerity until the end.”
“sudden.”
Surprised, Yeo Sang-rin fluttered and ran. She was a well-behaved figure that did not go well with her elegant appearance.
Seo Liang smiled.
“Maybe that guy can use it properly?”
I got an unexpected harvest from the fight that I made to try to pass the time.
After a while, a huge boat appeared on the river.
The fluttering sails were colored black. A huge trident pattern was engraved on the sail on a black background.
Gong Yachi approached and spoke in his characteristic blunt tone.
“Of the thirty-six houses along the Yangtze River, this is Hebaek Water House, which ranks second in rank.”
Seo Liang grinned.
“This is an honor.”
The water above the top of the hierarchy governs the entire Yangtze River water route. In other words, the water canal sent the best number of enemies that could be sent.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It was nothing.”
The trade between Xiliang and Gong Yachi has only just begun. As long as the deal continues, Kong Yachi will provide the best support he can.
Moments later, a bandit disembarked from the vessel.
He was a man tens of thousands of miles away from what people usually think of as a brute force.
A confident physique, a stylish mustache, and benevolent eyes were shining with jazz.
He was Yang Yu (楊儒), the chaeju of Danggeum Habaeksuichae.
“It’s been a while, Sosumju.”
“It’s been intense.”
“I was busy with work so I couldn’t contact you first. Let’s have a drink soon.”
“It is an honour.”
The greeting ended with that.
Yang Yu turned his head to Xu Liang.
“Are you my guest?”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyebrows twitched. I thought it was a bit rude to just pass by.
But now, Seo Liang was not the minor religious leader of Shingo, but the captain of Yeo Sang-rin’s escort. Don’t react hastily.
Seo Liang took a step forward.
“To be precise, our entire party is other than guests.”
“Of course you would.”
Yang Yu looked around Xu Liang’s rear.
A samurai who seems to be tough to look at, a young girl whose word is cute rather than pretty, and… … .
“… … Huh.”
Seeing Sangrin Yeo, Yangyu shook her head.
“You can use your beauty as a weapon.”
Speech in front of guests is excessively rude. Gong Yachi took a step forward.
“Lord Chae.”
“hmm? Oh, I’m sorry. I was surprised to see such a beautiful person for the first time in my life. Please understand.”
It was an extremely rude tone. Yeo Sang-rin frowned.
Yang Yu asked.
“I came because they were the best VIPs, but I haven’t heard about them yet.”
“The identity of the VIP is a top secret. Didn’t you write it down in your letter?”
“Of course I did.”
Yang Yu’s eyes flashed.
“But you have changed your mind. I really need to know the identities of those distinguished guests.”
Gong Yachi’s face hardened.
“Lord Chae.”
“I’m sorry. But Sosumju, my waterway life is only thirty-two years. Now, just by looking at it, I can tell if the other person is going to cause an accident or not.”
“… … .”
“From my point of view, these distinguished guests seem to be difficult for their adoptive mothers to handle. Don’t you know how exhausting it can be when you have an accident on a waterway?”
Seo Liang smiled.
Yang Yu’s eyes deepened.
“Why are you laughing?”
“If it’s too much for you to handle, you can just say you won’t take it, but he insisted on knowing his identity.”
“Is that even a problem?”
“All right, there is one thing I want to ask from this side. Are you going to do it or not?”
Yang Yu said, “Look at this?” I looked at Seoryang with that kind of eye.
“Looking at Somunju’s face, I tried not to be rude, but if it comes out like this, we have no choice but to be pretty rough.”
“Would you mind?”
“What do you mean?”
“Time is running out. Let’s end this pointless conversation here. just tell me Are you going to do it or not?”
Yangyu asked in an unpleasant tone.
“What if?”
Seo Liang grinned.
“How long can you hold your breath?”
