Episode 447
Shaking (2)
Sigh!
After taking a bath in hot water, the young man sprinkled cold water on his head again and shook his head.
When people are immersed, they tend to forget eating, drinking and sleeping. There was no need to even mention washing.
The young man took a bath for over half a day and removed a lot of the old grime. I cut off my fingernails and toenails and cut off any tangled hair.
Then, his unique bright skin and sad eyes were revealed. It was very nice to see the infinitely deep and clear eyes that were so mad that they flashed like blades.
“Hmm.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong, a young man who got dressed and came out to the training ground, turned his head.
There was a river there.
“Oh brother.”
Kang-ryang chuckled.
“Have you had any enlightenment? Or have you finally figured it out? “Your behavior was so ruthless that it was difficult to accept it even in public.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong scratched his head with a embarrassed expression.
“Was it that bad?”
“It was hard to express in words. It’s okay though. “There was no smell.”
“…sorry.”
“It’s real. “It was fascinating.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong just smiled.
Kang Ryang’s eyes lit up when he saw Yeon Ji-pyeong like that.
‘It’s changed.’
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes, posture, and atmosphere.
It was not the Yeonjipyeong I saw only yesterday. It wasn’t just that his body and clothes were neater.
‘It’s changed. Not only the eyes, but also the sword that was shaking in all directions because it couldn’t be calmed down.’
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s sword technique was unrivaled in its density.
At first, it wasn’t that much, but while training here, the density became deeper and deeper, and eventually, each strand of sword energy felt like a real sword.
However, no matter how great the sword technique was, it was useless if it could not be handled freely. Even if a person with natural divine power wields a treasured sword and swings it, it is bound to produce a force that is less than that of a twig containing coriander.
That was the state of Yeonjipyeong. But not now.
‘It was resolved perfectly. It’s hard to find even a single thread of energy.’
Even though I washed my eyes and looked for where the bundle of sword energy that had been running wildly in all directions had gone, I couldn’t find it.
Kang Ryang, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ji-pyeong, soon smiled.
“Jipyeong.”
“Yes, brother.”
Chaaaaaaaaa!
In an instant, the drawn sword shot like an awl towards the nape of Yeon Ji-pyeong’s neck.
It was literally like a thunderbolt. As if Kang Ryang wasn’t just playing around either, the series of movements from kicking the sword to sharpening the sword was clean enough to give me goosebumps.
“….”
Kang Ryang’s sword stopped right in front of Yeon Ji-pyeong’s neck.
Yeon Ji-pyeong was still looking at Kang Ryang with deep eyes.
Kang Ryang, who was looking at Yeon Ji-pyeong, retrieved his sword.
“Why didn’t you avoid it?”
“Because I don’t feel alive.”
“You radiated life? Are you saying that you have seen through the falsity of living?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong shook his head.
“There’s no way your brother would have cut off my head before I figured out the truth, right?”
Kangryang laughed hahaha without realizing it.
“You don’t know that. Do you know anything else? Are you going to get into a fight over a woman later and end up pulling out a knife?”
“Then I will try to avoid it then.”
Hoo?
This was meant to be a subtle provocation, but the response was quite gentle.
It wasn’t an answer that could have been made up. It probably means that your mind is that much more stable and relaxed.
‘Apart from improving the quality of my martial arts skills, I have completely corrected my mind that was full of confusion.’
Slurp! widely!
Kang Ryang gave a lead sword.
He said as if he was throwing it away.
“You look great.”
It was truly a word worthy of him.
Yeon Ji-pyeong opened his mouth.
“Your brother’s sword skills have also improved tremendously.”
“Can you see it?”
“Yes, I can see it.”
“How was it?”
“It was different from me.”
The corners of Kang Ryang’s mouth rose.
“It has to be different. “There is no need to debate which one is superior, but when we face each other head on, I am still superior.”
“Yes, I think so.”
“But if you play with your hands a little, I will be in danger.”
“That is unknown.”

The tone was still calm.
There was no wavering in his voice. Even when the opponent says that he or she is stronger than him, his mind remains unmoved.
Kang-ryang sighed softly.
“I really don’t know how you and your brother became such monsters.”
“A monster?”
“Brother, at that age, he was called the best martial arts expert in the world, and he had accumulated martial skills that even the great masters of the Great Gate faction could see under his eyes, and you, a guy with little experience, didn’t realize the skill of a steady sword after struggling for several months.”
Jeonggeom.
Jeonggeom refers to one of the countless levels of swords.
The state of true swordsmanship is a state that cannot be divided into stages. Even if your martial arts level is lower than Yeon Ji-pyeong, you can realize the true sword, and even a strong person in Seongcheon may not be able to realize the true sword.
It’s a true sword, but I didn’t really have a proper word to call it, so I just called it that.
However, I knew the amount of strength. Yeon Ji-pyeong’s sword, which has realized the true sword, will be able to carry out its owner’s will without wavering even in any situation.
Even if his eyes roll over with anger or his heart breaks with sadness, his sword will not waver.
“Isn’t that so, brother?”
In response to Kang Ryang’s question, Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was heard from beyond the wall of the training hall.
“I don’t know if it’s a monster, but I know it’s time to praise Jipyeong for clearing up the confusion-filled sword.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, climbed over the wall with light movements.
He climbed over the wall and walked straight to Yeonjipyeong.
“….”
The two looked at each other in silence.
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s height was now almost the same as Yeon Ho-jeong’s.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s skin was not white because he lived a very rough life moving around the central plains. On the other hand, Yeonjipyeong was only white despite the arduous training under the scorching sun.
Although they looked similar, Yeon Ho-jeong’s impression was sharp like Yeon Wi’s, and Yeon Ji-pyeong’s impression was sad and peaceful like her deceased mother.
The two were so similar and so different.
But Gangryang had never thought these two people looked so similar as he did today.
Especially the eyes.
‘The eyes are very similar.’
Unlike his rough hands and unconventional words and actions, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were clear and deep like a lake.
The same was true for Yeon Ji-pyeong. Although the color was different, Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes when she realized Jeong-geom were just as clear and deep as Yeon Ho-jeong’s.
How much time has passed like that?
“I couldn’t even take care of you, but you’ve already come all the way up here. “It’s amazing.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled.
“Your presence itself is a source of support and learning for me. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to reach this level.”
“As you gained enlightenment, your speaking skills also improved.”
“Isn’t sincerity more beautiful than any modifier?”
“ha ha ha.”
Yeon Ho-jeong finally relaxed his expression and stroked Yeon Ji-pyeong’s head.
Yeon Ji-pyeong made a dying sound.
“I just washed and dried it! “It gets messy!”
“You idiot, you’re too straight. “It’s okay to be a little messy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been playing around for a while, suddenly saw the old sword sheath hanging on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s belt.
“It feels like I spent ten years on it.”
“Oh, this?”
“Shall I exchange it for a different sword?”
“it’s okay.”
“Really? “Isn’t your sword still broken in half?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong took out his sword.
As Yeon Ho-jeong said, his sword was broken in half. He was still carrying that half-sword.
Yeon Ji-pyeong said with his sword again.
“In some people’s eyes, you may look like a broken sword, but in others’ eyes, you may look like companions who have overcome hell together, where one day felt like ten years.”
Yeonjipyeong is said to be hell.
Although it was only a few months, it was ten times more difficult training than his entire life combined.
Yeon Ho-jeong acknowledged his younger brother. He acknowledged that it was not because of his younger brother’s martial arts skills, but because he broke through the wall of despair that his younger brother felt for the first time and came back as a new person, that he had truly become a true warrior.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“The exact date has not been set yet. “I still have work to do in Guangdong, and I have to meet some old people you don’t know one more time.”
“…?”
“But I think all of those things will be completed in the near future.”
Kang Ryang was quick to notice.
“Where are you going?”
“okay. “I think I should go back to the Murim Alliance.”
“okay.”
“However, the Uijeong County will remain here. Now that there is a power vacuum, the Murim League’s troops must remain to prevent the evil organization from growing. “The Uijeonggun can have a deterrent force that prevents the opening of the black power by its mere existence.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said while looking at Kang Ryang.
“Perhaps we might end up stopping by Mukryongbu on the way.”
In an instant, Kang Ryang’s eyes suddenly changed.
But that was all. He did not show anger or exude murderous spirit.
If Yeon Ji-pyeong controlled his mind with his sword, Kang Ryang controlled his mind with his life. He had that kind of grit.
“I want to use you a little this time. Do you have any ideas?”
The corners of Kang Ryang’s mouth rose.
“Please use it anytime. “I’ll have to take a look at Yangcheon again.”
“It must be an unforgettable face, right?”
“He didn’t look at me then.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
He looked at Yeon Ji-pyeong.
“Ji-pyeong, what are you going to do?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s answer was unexpected.
“I will stay here.”
I thought they were going to go together, but this was unexpected.
“Many people suffered because of me while I was trapped in my own thoughts and running wild. “I don’t know if there’s anything I can do to help, but I think it’s better than nothing.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“If that’s what you think, I won’t stop you.”
“thank you.”
“What is gratitude?”
In my younger brother, who had become a true warrior, the seeds of a great man who knew how to be grateful for even the slightest help were growing.
Although he is kind and kind, he clearly maintains his standards.
Yeon Ho-jeong was once again convinced of that. In the future, Yeon Ji-pyeong will become one of the leading heads of the family in the history of Yeon-ga.
“I have some work to do, so I’ll just have to go. “Before we leave, let’s take a look at how well your two swords have been sharpened.”
“yes.”
“Rest in peace. And horizon.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Congratulations.”
“thank you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
His eyes, which were full of kindness, had suddenly become cold and hard.
‘That’s all I need to organize.’
I told it to Mo Yong-woo and also to Muk-bi.
Now all that remained was the matter of Botha and meeting the old men of Foshan. Once we’re done there, we’ll go straight to Meng.
‘I don’t have time. First, I need to wake up the person who is comfortably unconscious.’
* * *
“….”
When Hwaun opened his eyes for the first time in a few days, his face was quite gaunt.
But her eyes were different from before she collapsed. It wasn’t clear, but it wasn’t as full of desire as before.
As soon as she regained consciousness, she realized that she had been unconscious for a long time.
And why did you faint?
‘….’
Hwaun closed his eyes again.
My mind was complicated. It wasn’t easy to organize my mind.
At that time, a voice was heard.
“If you’re awake, get up.”
For a moment, Hwaun flinched. I didn’t know who was in the room.
She slowly got up and saw Yeon Ho-jeong and Jeong-an in her eyes.
Jeongan’s expression brightened.
“Sago!”
“…jeongan.”
Why? I couldn’t bear to face Jeongan’s face.
Yeonhojeong’s voice rang in Hwaun’s ears again as he lowered his head in shame.
“You have no right to bow your head. “If you think that you will receive sympathy just because of that, you are mistaken.”
“…!”
“Things are getting quite busy. Take some time to organize your thoughts later, and let’s talk separately first.”
