Episode 837
Seeds of Conflict (3)
“That’s it.”
The sizzling grilled rabbit meat was very appetizing.
“Take one.”
“yes.”
Dangyun, who received the meat, took a delicious bite.
It is impressive to see him chewing his teeth quite harshly, which is not typical of him. This probably means that this journey was difficult.
It was yesterday that we entered Shaanxi from Sacheon. Before that, I had never had a single day of proper rest.
The reason was simple. I wanted to go to the Murim League quickly, but it was also good for training endurance, which I can’t practice normally because it’s such a long distance.
Tang family warriors had good physical strength. Since you have to keep the distance and shoot poison and magic, it’s only natural.
However, Tang’s best shinshinjutsu greatly reduces physical strength due to its speed and elasticity. It is essential to have stronger physical strength than other martial artists. In that regard, Dangyun also had room for training.
“Brother, aren’t you eating?”
The official took out the beef jerky from his pocket.
“This is enough.”
Dangyun put down the rabbit meat with an embarrassed expression.
The official waved his hand.
“If I were hungry, I would have caught more.”
“Oh yeah.”
Tang Yun chewed the meat again.
After the Tang Family Incident, Tang Yun admitted his guilt and tried to imprison himself.
The party official imprisoned Tang Yun in prison. It was a decision made because we knew the parties wanted it.
However, after being imprisoned for a month, his status was restored and he became the second head of the family.
The reason was obvious. This was because, depending on the policy, Dangyun’s actions may or may not be a crime.
The strict policies of the Tang family were so famous that the entire martial arts community knew about them. In fact, it had to be seen as being overly cruel beyond being strict.
The previous head of the family, King Amwang, recognized the problem and tried to fix it, and the current head of the family, Tang Gwan, also faced the problem and slowly attempted to improve it.
As a result, the party failed.
I tried, but the results were not good. Since his own brothers joined hands with foreign powers and started a rebellion, this could be said to be a huge failure that cannot even be an excuse.
The party could not tolerate two failures. Having experienced great hardship both publicly and privately, he realized that governing one’s own family well was the royal road to the reign of a powerful family.
So he forgave Dangyun’s sins. It was an act unbecoming of the party, which coldly punished even blood relatives.
Dangyun’s sin was obvious, but thanks to him, he was able to get the Tang family back. If he had not trained with the government and worked as a female monk, a disaster could have occurred where the center of Sichuan martial arts fell into the hands of the enemy.
Mistake is mistake and emptiness is emptiness. Moreover, it was a miracle that Dangyun remained sane. He had made a decisive contribution by returning to his home in such a state, so letting him rot in prison was an extremely abnormal act.
Starting with Dangyun’s pardon, a lot of things changed.
Although it was only a few months, the current party family was developing into a completely different atmosphere than before.
Tang Guan’s will and Tang Hyeong’s support. In addition, many warriors of the Tang family, including Tang Yun, awakened and rebuilt the family. Although the power was lower than before, the potential for development had increased several times, so it could be said that it was another golden age for the party.
“Like many other organizations, the power of the leadership is important for the main family. “Your vision and judgment are certainly excellent, but you have not yet achieved the perfect military power as the head of the second family.”
“yes.”
“There will be a lot of hardship before you can obtain that weapon, so I will take care of most of the work, so try to become stronger as soon as possible.”
“I understand, brother.”
“okay.”
This part also means that our view has changed. No matter how much my brother was, I wanted him to call me matriarch, but I wouldn’t have made him call me brother just because it was just the two of them.
The party’s views have changed, and Tang Yun has also largely escaped the guilt of the past. It was a positive change.
“Anyway, brother.”
“hmm?”
“It’s a bit awkward to ask now, but why didn’t you bring a bodyguard with you?”
This is the path to take as the head of a Dang family, not as a warrior representing Sacheon. Of course, it was normal to go with at least an escort or a few elite warriors.
The official shook his head.
“If you simply look at the family situation, you and I should not have gone alone. “It is not the right thing to do to bring in unmanned soldiers to the point of creating a power vacuum.”
The opinions of the heads of each organization were needed regarding the election of the Murim Lord. So I’m going.
If the party had not experienced changes as much as it has now, the party would not have joined the Murim League.
“Fortunately, my father’s influence extends beyond the family and throughout Sacheon. “I’m sorry for burdening you with a somewhat heavy burden, but given the circumstances, I can’t help it.”
On my way to leave the family name to my father.
Considering the two people’s past, it was truly unimaginable.
Tang Yun smiled awkwardly and said.
“Still, it is a bit shabby, even though it is the road where the master of a great Tang family comes.”
“What is there to be shabby about? Whether there are people around me or not, I am still the head of the Tang family. “There is no change in that fact, so there is nothing to be shabby about.”
“okay.”
“Anyway, are you mentally ready?”
“yes?”
“Shouldn’t we pass on the King’s Sutra?”
Tang Yun’s face hardened.
“Brother, as I said before, I….”
“I can’t make the son I raised incorrectly the head of the family. The crime is so clear that their status cannot be reinstated. So to speak, I have no successor now.”
“Isn’t there ivory?”
The official nodded.
“Yes, there is ivory. In fact, I also taught Sang-ah the sutras.”
“I heard it too. There is a clear succession, so there is no need for me to learn the Emperor’s Sutra…”
“I don’t care.”

“yes?”
“I am fine with Sang-Ah succeeding me as the owner of the family.”
“So…”
“But the senior members of the family will not accept ivory.”
Even a monarch who has absolute power cannot completely ignore the concerns of his subjects.
The party’s closed and narrow-minded rules were being reformed, and the pace was fast, but it was not possible to change everything right away. It may be the next generation or the generation after that, but it was not yet possible to appoint a woman as the master of the Tang family.
“Regardless of everything else, Sang-ah also has no desire to become the head of the family.”
“yes?”
“He just wanted to be recognized as a member of the family. And I wanted to fly free. “That’s it.”
The official looked up at the sky.
The sky full of stars was very beautiful, not unlike late winter.
“I don’t want to burden a child who has been confined and oppressed all his life by now cramming him into the framework of a family.”
“….”
Dangyun, who was quietly looking at the hall, sighed.
The official lowered his gaze back to the bonfire and spoke calmly.
“If there was someone more talented than you, I might have thought differently. “But right now, it’s hard to find a matriarch like you.”
“….”
“It happened in the distant future. Even if you become the head of the family, you won’t be able to live longer than me or your father. Just acting as a stepping stone is enough, so it would be better for you to make your own resolutions as well.”
The magistrate could not bear to tell Dangyun to marry and have offspring. It would be rude, even for a brother, to say such a thing to a child who has not yet recovered from the shock of seeing the person he loved die.
“done. Let’s leave this discussion for later. “For now, just think about becoming stronger.”
“All right.”
“Sleep soundly. “We will leave before dawn.”
“yes.”
After finishing his meal, Dangyun entered into a meditation on the spot. Sleep is sleep and ungong is ungong. It was basic for Muin to reflect on himself at the end of the day.
Tang Gwan, who was rummaging around the bonfire next to him, suddenly thought of Tang Sang-ah.
‘Are you okay?’
You will be fine. He is a very lively child and has a sister next to him. He must have grown amazingly in a time when I didn’t even see him.
When I thought of Tang Sang-ah, Yeonwi naturally came to mind as well.
‘It’s truly amazing.’
I heard that Yeonwi returned from the imperial palace with great merit.
Tang Gwan, who was well aware of Yeon Wi’s martial arts skills and judgment as a military officer, knew that he would one day accomplish great things. However, I did not know that it would play a central role in saving the emperor.
However, the reason he was surprised by Yeon Wei was not because of the ball at the imperial palace.
‘No matter what, the b*stard became the heir to the Dark Island, so you just let that happen?’
I came across that information while I was training in my free time.
Out of shock, I couldn’t retrieve the memory I threw and lost it. It was such a big surprise that it was the first mistake made in decades.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
I didn’t think Yeonhojeong’s thoughts would have changed. This is someone who will not change even if the sky falls.
‘I decided that it was definitely necessary, so I became Yang Cheon’s disciple…’
No matter how much it is, no one can imagine that the eldest son from a prestigious political sect family would become the leader of the Heukdo Martial Arts.
To put it in a good way, it was unconventional, and in a bad way, it was unprecedented. The party thought so.
‘Well, hasn’t it always been like that?’
Through the opening, I heard that this guy was also coming to Mang.
I immediately sent a letter to him. If it doesn’t bounce quickly, it won’t be fun.
I sent such a letter on purpose. I know it won’t change, but there’s always that possibility. For some reason, I wanted to see his reaction.
The official laughed bitterly.
‘It’s a reaction… Even if you try to catch it like a mouse, you won’t be able to catch it properly.’
This is Yeonhojeong, who has already broken the barrier in Sacheon. That guy killed King Bi and put his name on the throne of Seongcheon.
With the nickname ‘Paternal King’.
‘It’s really annoying.’
Although he reached the top of the scale, it hasn’t been long since he got there. The difference with Seongcheon will be obvious.
However, considering that they had already killed King Bi, I felt truly appalled at the speed of his growth.
‘Even though I am called a king, I am not yet at the same level as them. No matter how genius you are, there are limits. Killing King Bi may have its own reasons. But…’
People tend to believe what they see. Since he has been given the title of Supreme King, his influence is no different from the actual Seongcheon.
‘I think it would have been better if we had paired up Sang-a with him from the beginning.’
As I daydreamed about things that did not suit me, the bonfire continued to be lit at the hotel.
How long has it been like that?
“…?!”
The gwan’s eyes, which had been shining brightly in the light of the bonfire, suddenly became sharper.
Flash!
Dangyun’s eyes opened like a thunderbolt as he entered the clouds.
“Did you feel it?”
“I felt it.”
“….”
“Do you want to ignore it?”
The official who was quietly watching the bonfire shook his head.
“I don’t think it’s a good time to just move on. And it looks like this scream is being massacred unilaterally.”
“Then let’s go.”
“OK.”
Paaaaaaaa!
The two people, who practiced the divine method as if they had been waiting, reached the top of the mountain peak in an instant.
“It’s over there.”
Hundreds of torches were fluttering around the curved canyon visible far below the peak.
And the torch shook wildly. A fight was going on.
‘It’s not an ordinary life. Furthermore, this momentum…?’
Tang Gwan placed his hand on Tang Yun’s shoulder.
“Don’t overtake first. You must never act rashly. “Unconditionally follow me.”
“All right.”
“let’s go.”
Faaagh!
The two people moved down quickly.
When they were halfway down the peak, more than half of the hundreds of torches were extinguished.
And when we came down from the peak and entered the canyon.
“People who don’t even know the subject have an amazing smell of money.”
A person stood in a landscape full of blood and corpses.
The official’s eyes wavered.
“Hmm? Were there any more left there?”
