Episode 639 Stories from the reign (14)
“Whoa.”
Myeonghak took a deep breath.
“This is it.”
There was calm joy on his face as he looked at the fog-filled mountain peak.
“This was it. “This was Taijihui (太極慧).”
He lowered his head and saw the sword.
The Songmun ancient sword was stained dark brown. The blood that had flowed from the torn protective covering had dried and turned brown.
But he didn’t feel any pain.
“That’s amazing.”
Myeonghak exclaimed.
“By condensing the countless swords of the shaman into two swords, the circle and the layered sword, and making the two swords into one, this is nothing but the Taegeukhwa of yin and yang. “The enlightenment of the person who was called the Wonmugeomsin (元武劍神) reached a level that was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”
At that time, a clear voice was heard.
“He is a great person.”
Myeonghak smiled and turned his head. There was a beautiful woman standing there with her back to her.
A woman wearing a black uniform. Maybe he was in his mid-twenties? Her facial features are distinct and sharp, giving her a bit of a cold impression, but she always has a smile on her face, making her smile just by looking at her.
The loose hair looked free-spirited, and the fluttering hem of the coat was reminiscent of the hand gestures of a immortal. The sight of a long sword tied to a belt also did not match well.
“The King of Swords has arrived.”
The woman, Joo Seo-yoon, waved her hand.
“After the sword? It’s a shameful title. “I told you not to call me that, so why are you teasing me again?”
“Hehe, how could I make fun of Geomhu? However, I have only now found Taijihye in the circle of swords, and the master of swords has shared countless sword tests. “He deserves to be called Geomhu.”
Myeonghak narrowed his eyes.
“Haven’t you actually reached the realm of peace? It is surprising that he attained enlightenment at that age, but enlightenment has reached a much higher level than that. “Until now, except for one person, no one of that age has achieved enlightenment.”
Joo Seo-yoon shook her head as if she couldn’t stop him.
“You decided to paint my face with gold.”
“Hehehe.”
“Anyway, congratulations. “You finally saw Taegeukhyegeom (太極慧劍) at Wonjeon Sword.”
“That’s right. “It’s a lot late, but I feel more joy than despair.”
“It’s not too late. It’s not too late at all. The reason I am more proficient in round-robin sword than anyone else is because my grandfather constantly helped me. “Myeonghak Dojang, who realized Taijihye in four years, is even more amazing.”
“Hehe, after the sword, please don’t paint this stupid Taoist guy’s face.”
“Ho Ho.”
Joo Seo-yoon smiled and stood next to Myeong-hak.
She looked down at the foot of Wudang Mountain. It was a sight I always saw, but it was also a sight I never got tired of seeing.
Myeonghak asked.
“Do you see Emperor Taesajo of Hyeoncheon?”
“no. “I saw my grandfather this morning.”
I saw Hyeoncheonjinin who died and became one with Mt. Wudang.
As a modern scholar, I could not understand its meaning. There must be something that only Joo Seo-yoon can see.
“So what are you looking at now?”
“Under heaven.”
“Huh!”
Joo Seo-yoon’s smile deepened.
“I feel that way sometimes these days. Ah, this is why my brother kept telling me to look at the world. Only by looking at the world can I see myself clearly.”
“Hehehe.”
“Now I understand why people kept saying that death penalty was low.”
“What does the world look like through the eyes of a swordsman?”
“You look busy.”
“Hehehe!”
“The world, which had gone through a period of turbulence, is now entering a period of stability. However, the world is not fixed, and the world created by countless people is so beautiful and dynamic.”
Joo Seo-yoon closed her eyes.
“The world depicted by Sahyeong is simple and good, at least in my eyes.”
“Now that I think about it, the religious leader has been doing well lately?”
“Hoho, I would like to have something special happen to the expert who discusses the best of ancient times and modern times.”
“Huh? “Aren’t you communicating separately?”
“It’s been a few months. The fortress mainly communicates with the general military. Well, it’s all business contact.”
Myeonghak smiled.
“Don’t you miss it once in a while?”
“The death penalty?”
“It’s the same with the religious leader, and the Protestant religion is the same.”
Joo Seo-yoon turned her head to the south.
There was bitterness and sadness on her face.
“miss you. “I miss you so much.”
Four years ago, Joo Seo-yoon, who came to Wudang Mountain, gathered together the Taoist monks who had been practicing in hiding throughout the mountain and founded a new shaman faction.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist monks did not reject Joo Seo-yoon. Not only was she skilled, but the sword technique she used was the pinnacle of a shaman’s martial arts skills.
In other words, Joo Seo-yoon could be said to be Hyeon Cheon-jin’s ceremonial doctor. In other words, Joo Seo-yoon was like a big adult to them.
Four years like that.
The Shaman faction was able to restore most of the martial arts that had been lost in the past.
It was truly a mystical experience. All the martial arts of the shaman faction were contained in the Wonjeonmucheunggeomgyeol, which was a collection of Hyeoncheonjinin’s enlightenment, and Joo Seo-yoon was able to break out each and every one of the martial arts techniques, including the Naegongsimbeop, the swordbeop, the martial arts, the Jangbeop, the Bobeop, and the Gyeongshinsul.

Perhaps Hyeoncheonjinin, who became one with Mt. Wudang, may have helped. What’s important is that it helped her tremendously in rebuilding her Shaman faction.
In this way, the shaman faction was revived.
That wasn’t all. Zhou Seoyun received a special order from Xu Liang to rule Hubei Province directly.
Sword King Joo Seo-yoon.
People in the world did not know that King Geomjang was a woman. In the first place, women were not given the title of king, so it was only natural.
However, it was quite widely known that King Geomjang was a martial artist who was extremely skilled in martial arts, and that he greatly helped in re-establishing the Shaman faction.
Of course, Joo Seo-yoon could not actually manage every single thing that happened in Hubei Province. Instead, there were countless officials under her, and Gong Yachi was controlling those officials.
However, when a big decision was needed, Joo Seo-yoon always stepped forward.
She was more talented at governing than expected. Gong Yachi was also surprised by her insight at times, and Hubei Province entered the stabilization phase a year earlier than expected.
It was a fast and stable reign, ranking in the top three of all regions in the midfield. Joo Seo-yoon was just as busy as ever.
But no matter how busy I am, how can I not think of my hometown?
Joo Seo-yoon missed Seo-ryang. I missed Jong Li-young, and I missed Chae Yeo-min.
I wanted to see not only the former Great Mazon, whom I had no close relationship with, but also the retired Great Protector of the Sentai Dynasty Martial Arts. She missed every single stone wall or blade of grass that made up the new bridge.
“But what can I do? There is too much of a burden on my shoulders to just swish away. “At times like this, I really resent the death penalty.”
Joo Seo-yoon smiles bitterly.
Myung-hak felt sorry for Joo Seo-yoon.
A martial artist who reached the realm of peace. Although she realized a greater swordsmanship than anyone else, she was a young woman, not yet thirty.
Usually, at that age, she met a good man and started a family, or studied hard to learn more.
But Joo Seo-yoon was too fast. At that age, he reached a level of martial arts and academics that was second to none, and even ruled Hubei Province.
People who are still young will not have this burden again. Sometimes she would just like to run away somewhere and play without her worries, but she wasn’t allowed to do that.
Myeonghak, who was quietly looking at Joo Seo-yoon, cautiously opened his mouth.
“This is enough for independents.”
“yes?”
“It may still be unreliable in the eyes of the Emperor, but our Taoists are also working hard. In fact, the current Shaman faction is very stable and is receiving new Taodong (道童).”
Myeonghak smiled.
“Leave the shaman faction to us, and leave Hubei Province to Gongya Wenju. “How about putting down the burden on your shoulders for a moment and looking around the world?”
Joo Seo-yoon smiled.
“It’s sweet just to hear you say it. But I can’t do that.”
“Why is that so? Of course, with so many things happening all over Hubei, there will be a lot of work for the Prosecutor General to do… … .”
“A person who has been sharpening his sword for decades is sharpening his sword to the point where his armor is torn, and I am going to go see the world to see how hard he worked. “There is no way.”
Myeonghak looked down at his hands.
“Hehe, this is because of my shortcomings, not my efforts.”
Joo Seo-yoon shook his head.
“I will be grateful for your words. By the way, hurry up and treat your hands first. “It won’t happen because my strength is strong, but if it happens, it will be a big problem.”
“If the wounds on the body are repeated, they can be treated, but if the wounds engraved in the mind are repeated, they cannot be easily healed.”
“… … .”
“Don’t worry, go to Shingyo.”
Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes wavered.
In most cases, this won’t happen. She could tell just by looking at her eyes how much she missed Shin Gyo.
After a while, Joo Seo-yoon sighed.
“Of course it won’t work… … .”
It was then.
“What’s wrong?”
At that moment, Joo Seo-yoon and Myung-hak were surprised.
“Huh, it’s been a while since I came to Mt. Wudang again. The view is truly superb. Although it is not flashy, this mysterious fog and mountains… … “Isn’t this a view you won’t get tired of even if you look at it for decades?”
The two people turned their heads.
Surprisingly, there was a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes, looking at the mountains with an ecstatic expression.
“Hmm, the mountain scenery is so quiet and mysterious, but the mind of the girl who lives in this mountain is really cloudy and dizzy.”
Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.
“Isn’t that so?”
Joo Seo-yoon and Myung-hak knelt down.
“I meet you, King Taejang.”
“Oh no, don’t do that.”
Geum Baek clicked his tongue.
“You may say that, Taoist, but you are a king like me. “Someone will think that I am the next emperor.”
Joo Seo-yoon asked with a puzzled expression.
“But something suddenly happened here… … ?”
“I came to see you.”
“Um, me?”
“That’s right.”
Even though they were the same king, the two were not friends to begin with. This means that in most cases, a remittance bag will not come here.
Naturally, Joo Seo-yoon’s face hardened.
“Or maybe it’s something to do with the imperial palace…” … .”
“Nothing happened. Hehe, it looks like you’ve had a hard time too. “Even after accumulating such amazing martial arts skills, my eyes are not clear.”
“ah… … .”
“I didn’t kill prayer because I didn’t think it was necessary. You should be able to read my prayers, but there is no response. “I came up to Ye to see what was going on.”
“Oh, I see.”
“by the way.”
Song Zhongbaek pointed south with his thumb.
“If nothing happens, come to Shingyo with me.”
“yes?!”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. Because it’s not just me and the two of you going. “There are also Yeo Kang-hwi, the palace lord, and branch chief Yeo Sang-rin under the mountain.”
“… … !”
“I have something to ask you, and while I’m at it, I’m thinking of having a drink. “How about you go together if nothing happens?”
Joo Seo-yoon looked at the money transfer bag with surprised eyes.
At that time, Myeonghak opened his mouth.
“After the examination.”
Joo Seo-yoon turned his gaze to Myeong-hak.
Myeonghak smiled.
“I guess this is fate. “Go.”
Joo Seo-yoon, who was staring blankly at Myeonghak, also slowly smiled.
“… … Well then, shall we see?”
