Side Story Episode 42. Destiny (3)
That night.
A ray of electric sound flowed into Lee Cheon-sang’s ears, who was lying on his bed and practicing Wagong.
“… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes and stood up.
For a moment, his body flinched. He felt a sharp pain in his ribs.
I arrived yesterday, received treatment, and was told that I would need to rest for a while. He said that although the stab wound to the left arm was a stab wound, the condition of the ribs could have worsened due to the violent movement.
‘It’s not bad.’
Still, this isn’t bad.
Juyeongyo, who was relatively uninjured, delivered three meals a day. I ate nutritious food that was good for recovery, sat down and continued to practice yoga, and I showed significant recovery in just one day.
‘It would have been impossible for Jeonggong.’
I’ve never learned it, but I heard that the healing power of Magic Gong surpasses that of Jeong Gong.
Instead, if you do not properly control your demonic energy until you reach a certain level, there is a possibility that your body will become weak. This was the reason why Magong was classified as an extreme martial artist.
The Geumgang Yacha magic technique that Lee Cheon-sang learned was an advanced magic technique, and his concentration also surpassed that of most peak masters. So this result came out.
Lee Cheon-sang, wearing a long robe, left the room.
‘… … .’
Juyeongyo in the next room seemed to be sleeping. My breathing was very deep.
When Yang Geon also came back, he stayed in his room all day. Tomorrow is the day the unit was established, so I wanted to maximize my physical condition before then.
Except for the guards guarding the main gate of the unit, no one is awake at the headquarters right now.
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang left the base building with natural movements and climbed the hill behind the building.
It was as natural a walk as possible without putting any strain on the ribs. In the future, you may injure the same area, and you may need to move around with minimal strain on the wound. Lee Cheon-sang also had such attention to detail.
As Lee Cheon-sang climbed to the top of the hill, he saw someone’s back.
“Are you here?”
Lee Cheon-sang lowered his head without saying a word.
Doheon turned around. His face was full of regret.
“There was something I had to meet without anyone knowing. So I called it here. “I’m sorry.”
“What is your business?”
It’s still the same.
Doheon chuckled and pointed to his side with his hand.
“Come.”
Lee Cheon-sang came next to him.
Doheon looked up at the sky.
“Isn’t the moonlight really nice?”
“That’s right.”
“Haha, don’t lie. “You don’t even know what’s good about that, do you?”
“I know it’s moonlight that others would say is good.”
Doheon smiled.
“Yes, people say that moonlight is good. It’s not even a full moon. Do you know why?”
“Because the sky is without a single cloud.”
“hmm?”
“The clouds are not blocking the moonlight. “People seem to think that moonlight is good because its color is revealed without being stained or blurred.”
If you interpret vague emotions with reason and logic, this is how you interpret them.
“That’s right, it’s neat. But even cloudy moonlight can look good depending on one’s mood.”
“… … .”
“Don’t you understand that?”
“That’s right.”
“Because the reason is not clear?”
“That’s right.”
“What do you need a reason for? In the end, it is ‘I’ who lives in the world. “If I think it’s good, everything is good.”
“With that kind of subjectivity, does it mean that blood, corpses, bugs with many legs, and foul-smelling food that most people dislike can be good?”
I had no idea this type of question would be asked.
Doheon shrugged his shoulders and said.
“As you said, most people don’t like it. But there are other species like that in the world. There are blood demons who get excited just by looking at blood and corpses, and there are also people who are fascinated by bugs that look terrible to the average person. People who like smelly food… … “Well, I haven’t seen it yet.”
“… … .”
“Understanding the world with your head comes first, but it is up to you to live in that world. In the end, what I feel is what matters.”
“I don’t know that feeling.”
“That’s why I’m trying to find out. Because you too belong to the world. “Isn’t that right?”
Why?
Lee Cheon-sang felt his mind somewhat refreshed during the brief conversation with Do-heon.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was quietly looking up at the sky, suddenly spoke.
“Why did you call me at this hour?”
Doheon held out the black box in his hand.
“Take it.”
Lee Cheon-sang did not ask what this was. He just keeps an eye on Do-heon.
“Open it.”
Only then did Cheon-sang Lee turn his eyes to the box.
Click.

The box opened with a small sound and contained something that looked like a blue bead.
Doheon opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.
“It’s something called Gaejeongdan (開精丹).”
“Revision group?”
“The human body can reach its full potential only when its essence, energy, and spirit function properly. And when the Spirits of Spirit become one, you gain power that is unimaginable to ordinary people.”
“I know.”
“Yes, this is also written in the Geumgang Yacha Magick teachings. But that is not a characteristic of Geumgang Yacha Magicong. It’s not a characteristic unique to magic. “It is the end and beginning of all martial arts to achieve a higher state and deeper enlightenment.”
It was as if I knew something, but I didn’t.
“For martial people, where is the basis of energy?”
“It’s a power outage.”
“To be exact, it’s Hadanjeon. “It’s the area below the navel that people call the dan tian.”
“… … .”
“Then where is God’s basis?”
“It’s the head.”
“yes. The forehead is the entrance to Sandanjeon (上丹田), a place where spiritual power passes, and at the same time, it also represents Sandanjeon (上丹田) itself. “I said it was my spiritual power, but as someone who can’t actually handle it properly, I can’t really argue with that.”
“… … .”
“The root of energy lies in the lower body, the center of the human body, and maintains a strong and stable body. God comes in and out of the head and controls, to a small extent, the strength and weakness of the will, and, to a large extent, divine abilities not permitted to humans.”
“I know.”
“Then where is the basis of jeong (精)?”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“It’s a ceasefire.”
Doheon smiled.
“They say that when you experience something sad, your heart aches. They say that when something exciting happens, your heart races. That is Jeong (精). “From the time when people did not know the principles of martial arts and energy, people instinctively knew where the root of emotions was.”
“… … .”
“But people do this thing called rational thinking. We have developed thanks to thinking beyond instinct, but at the same time, because of that, we are also ignorant of emotions. If your heart hurts, you are sad because of this. If your heart is pounding, you are excited because of this. “The head is the place where God comes and goes.”
“… … .”
“That’s why the word ‘spirit’ comes from. Spirit means heart and soul. The two are separate and at the same time inseparable. “Two and yet one, one and two.”
“okay.”
“A clear and healthy mind is created by the body. Because it is energy, the energy spirit is originally one. However, it is important to strike the balance perfectly. When the balance reaches perfection, the warrior gains power that surpasses human limitations.”
Doheon shook his head.
“When I first looked at your condition, I couldn’t help but be surprised. There was no true energy, but a lower level of energy was created as if I had learned the inner gongsim method in the past. On the other hand, Jungjungjeon, the center of the five lusts, was empty.”
“… … .”
“On the contrary, Sangdanjeon has developed enormously. “It is difficult to find a person who has not trained in martial arts, or even a case where the top level of a peak expert has overdeveloped the martial arts skills to that extent.”
It was said that the imbalance of Jeonggishin, or the three danjeon (三丹田), had reached its peak.
“I couldn’t figure out why. But now I know. “I don’t know about the middle and bottom battles, but I understand why your top battles are like that.”
“What is that?”
“It’s simple. It’s because of the suspended war. “Since you don’t know what emotions you are accepting, haven’t you been interpreting and decomposing that state all day long?”
“… … !”
“I don’t know the identity of the essence, but you are clearly a living person. People tend to think. “The reason your upper body is overdeveloped is because the spirit, which an ordinary person should develop separately, is concentrated on one thing.”
It was a pretty plausible story.
Doheon continued.
“Of course, even taking that into account, your superiority is excessive. “I have never encountered such a state, but I am convinced that the reason you have developed so much is because your thinking ability is on a different level from others.”
“thinking power… … .”
“It’s the same for this mission alone. It was a coping skill that no ordinary person could even dream of. “But you looked at me with puzzled eyes, asking why I couldn’t remember this obvious thing.”
That was indeed the case. Lee Cheon-sang did not know why Do-heon was surprised by the operation he had planned.
I thought that Yang Geon and Juyeon Gyo didn’t have that kind of experience, so it must have been worth it. He would not have been able to come up with such a plan if he had not caught a wild beast, and had not had many experiences of being nearly hunted by a wild beast.
However, Shingyo’s combat unit is made up of people who have experienced numerous battles. I didn’t think this was that big of a deal.
“What if it’s nothing special? Why did the people who targeted you not even think about it and were easily defeated? Is it okay if I think like you? “Are they people with no active duty experience?”
“… … !”
It was like an unexpected surprise attack. Lee Cheon-sang was startled.
Doheon smiled.
“You say you don’t feel emotions, but it’s proof that you see the world in your own way.”
“that… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was about to say, “It’s different,” kept his mouth shut. It was different, but I felt like there was nothing different about it.
Doheon pointed to the revision platform with his chin.
“It’s a gift from the Duke.”
“This is it?”
Lee Cheon-sang’s tone returned to its old form without me realizing it.
Doheon knew intuitively. At this moment, a change of its own has come to Lee Cheon-sang.
“It is the same for true art, but especially for those who have trained in magic art, Gajeongdan exerts outstanding power. To be precise, it helps overcome difficulties rather than direct development.”
“What do you mean?”
“In order for a person who has learned magic to reach a higher level, he or she will inevitably experience mental demons.”
“Simma.”
“Yes, Simma. “Gye-gae-dan is a spiritual altar that eliminates that mental evil.”
Lee Cheon-sang tilted his head.
“Is that possible?”
“As a result, it is possible. “It is a medicine that does not eliminate the mind itself, but relaxes the mind and heart to free one from obsession.”
“… … ?!”
“Just like Jingi, it is said to be a herbal medicine that indirectly acts on the nerves of the human body to artificially release the accumulated energy of the middle and lower body. “The person who made it died and the recipe was lost, but I heard that quite a lot of it was released to the public.”
A little tension appeared on Doheon’s face.
“The effect is certain. Because quite a few mines have benefited from that medicine. Of course, there is no demon who gains immediate enlightenment or experiences a dramatic rise in martial arts by taking it. “I just received a lot of help in getting out of my mind.”
“… … .”
“It’s not that you don’t feel emotions. You just don’t understand it with your heart. There is no one in the world who cannot feel emotions. “Because that’s not a person.”
“… … “If you do that, me too?”
“I think you are a more humane person than anyone else. “If you couldn’t feel emotions, the battle itself wouldn’t have existed in the first place.”
“… … .”
“I am sure that the medicine will not harm you. and… … .”
Doheon took out a gold bag from his arms.
“This command group too.”
