Episode 8
True Jade Dragon
Kunlun Mountain was high and rugged.
The tall young man, who was already very dissatisfied, grumbled without even realizing it.
“How did we end up in such a remote place… … .”
A middle-aged man walking next to him softly rebuked him.
“Be careful what you say. “It’s Kunlun.”
“Uncle, I’m not wrong, am I?”
Middle-aged Peng Su-won shook his head inwardly.
That’s true, but how could it be so careless?
‘You raised me so much.’
He resented the head of the family, his older brother and the young man’s father.
The young man was arrogant and careless.
If he had developed even half of his martial arts skills, it was clear that the head of the family would throw a party every day.
Since he was born late, they treated him like he was cute and accepted everything, so he ended up like this, so I can’t blame anyone else.
If the head of the family hadn’t asked him to give her some trouble, he would never have brought her, and it was Peng Su-won who regretted agreeing to it, wishing he had refused with an iron plate on his face.
“And then I will tell my brother, so you will know.”
The young man Peng Kang-hwi was sharp.
Although he didn’t know anyone else, he was as scared as his father.
“I understand, uncle.”
“It is something that must be done.”
Paeng Su-won, who was trying to get another assurance that he was not reassured, replied that Paeng Kang-hwi would.
But his insides were boiling.
‘You look like a bitch. Why am I doing this again because I made such a big mistake?’
During the long journey from Hebei Province to Qinghai Province, his uncle seemed impatient because he could not catch and eat him.
Being scolded again for showing a little of the anger that had been building up was bound to make me feel even worse.
As I climbed the mountain in silence, I got bored and looked around at the scenery.
‘The mountains are worth seeing.’
Kunlun was very tall and majestic.
In a way, it feels similar to the spirit of his family, the Hebei Peng family.
‘Yes, at least.’
Isn’t it impossible to bridge the gap between Hebei Province, the center of the central plain, and Qinghai Province, a remote province?
The only people climbing the mountain are men in rough clothing.
‘It’s so rural that it’s hard to see women.’
After shaking off my frustration and walking for a while, I saw a huge Iljumun in the distance.
Peng Kang-hwi was a little impressed by the mysterious appearance hidden in the thick fog.
‘Still, it’s a old file room.’
When we arrived at Iljumun Gate, surprisingly, a Taoist monk who appeared to be no more than a doctor was standing alone.
Prestigious political factions usually show their prestige right from the entrance, but there seemed to be something different about this place.
Isn’t the sight of smiling and greeting everyone who comes in and out of the door truly like a Buddhist?
‘Is that the smile of the happiest person in the world?’
Unlike Peng Kang-hwi, who was amazed, Peng Su-won observed the Taoist monk carefully.
It was a strange feeling.
‘satisfaction? confidence? ‘Everything about his behavior is unusual.’
For some reason, its elegance went very well with the surrounding scenery.
The Taoist smiled brightly and greeted me.
“Infinite Buddha. hello?”
“Hello.”
“What brings you here?”
“I came to see Jang Mun-in.”
Despite the unexpected words, the Taoist continued to smile.
“I see. Jang Moon-in is busy right now, so I think it will take some time. “Are you okay?”
It is natural that the head of a prestigious political faction is busy.
However, Peng Su-won had the status to shorten the waiting time.
“Of course. “I am Peng Suwon of the Hebei Peng family.”
The young Taoist’s eyes widened slightly.
“Infinite Buddha. You come from a prestigious family. My name is Jeonghyeon. “It’s the same distribution as you, Master, so please speak low.”
“Then I will do it. “Hey, is that friend okay?”
“Do you know the four hundred?”
“haha. Let’s be friends.”
“I didn’t know. I’ll tell you four hundred first, so just for a moment… … .”
“execution!”
With a helpless cry, a young Taoist monk with soaked clothes was staggering towards him.
I don’t know what he was doing, but his appearance was very pitiful.
It was enough to make anyone feel sympathy, but I guess it wasn’t Jung Hyeon.
I pretended not to see him and looked away, talking nonsense to Paeng Su-won.
“… … haha. It would be appropriate to wait just a moment, right? Let me talk to you. Let me introduce you to Kunlun… … .”
“ha… … .”

The young Taoist monk sighed and put his face in front of Jeong Hyeon.
“Shift.”
“hmm? Is the priest here? “It’s already shift work?”
“… … .”
“Huh. My complexion is not good. “I will stay here, so please go back.”
“… … “You want to fight now?”
“Uh-huh! What are you saying! Isn’t that because you’re worried? “It is very difficult to stand in this scorching sun and guide the guests, so I will do it for the priest.”
Peng Su-won and Peng Kang-hwi glanced at the sky and saw that it was full of dark clouds.
Moreover, now that the entire mountain is covered in fog, what is the point of scorching sun?
Sure enough, a vein popped out on the forehead of the young Taoist priest.
“The only break… … I’m really saying let’s do it. Wait, tell my youngest… … .”
“Uh huh! It was fun, fun! “I have to go in anyway to announce the arrival of guests, so good luck to the priest.”
“One o’clock is too late, so you should participate in the training quickly.”
“I understand, I understand. ha… … .”
Jeong Hyeon, who comforted the priest, forced himself to take steady steps and disappeared inside.
On the contrary, the young Taoist monk who was guarding the Iljumun Gate was smiling brightly, as if his miserable expression from before was a lie.
And he even greeted me politely.
“Infinite Buddha. It’s called Jeongjin. “I’m sorry for showing you a bad image.”
Peng Su-won and Peng Kang-hwi greeted each other and revealed their families and names.
Although Jeongjin was slightly surprised, he just continued to smile like Jeonghyeon before.
Peng Kang-hwi, curious, asked quietly.
“Are the Kunlun writers really this kind? “You never stop smiling when dealing with people.”
“yes? haha. “I’m glad it looked that way.”
“Indeed, that is why I ask. You looked very tired just a moment ago… … .”
A light of pain appeared in Jeongjin’s eyes.
But even for a moment, he smiled and put his hands together.
“Infinite Buddha. “This place where I am now is the Seon Realm.”
Peng Kang-hwi was truly impressed.
He looks similar in age to him, so isn’t he a real Taoist monk?
I met many disciples of the famous Taoist school in the central plains, but there were no such people.
‘Honestly, what’s the point of calling me a Taoist? What is the difference between this and everyday people?’
In Peng Ganghui’s mind, his favorability towards the Kunlun faction increased significantly.
On the contrary, I had a rough idea of Pyeongsuwon, who had been through all the hardships.
‘It sounds like you’re literally happy to be here. ‘Did you say it was your only break?’
If you think about the expression on the face of the Taoist monk named Jeonghyeon as he left, and Jeongjin’s words when he saw him and told him to quickly go and participate in the training… … .
‘hmm?’
Suddenly I felt someone approaching.
No, rather than approaching, it seemed as if he was unfolding some kind of divine law, and his body stretched and got closer in an instant.
There were also welcome shouts.
“Suwon! “You are here!”
Peng Suwon’s eyes were slightly bent.
The voice of his close friend He Qing was clear.
I can’t believe I’m finally seeing the person I met in Jungwon 15 years ago and hit it off.
Peng Su-won’s face, which was about to answer with joy, became strangely stiff.
I would say it looks similar to when Jeongjin came a little while ago. Heo Cheong’s appearance as he ran was terrible.
However, it was impossible to tell because his face was shining so dazzlingly as if he had seen his deceased parents.
“Oh my! This friend. It looks like you’ve had a hard time. “Why did you lose so much weight?”
Peng Su-won responded to what Heo Cheong said while embracing him.
“Why are you like this? “What are you doing here?”
“… … haha. It’s no big deal. “Let’s go in.”
Heo Cheong exchanged greetings with Peng Su-won and Peng Kang-hwi and walked away.
“There’s no way you were busy and came to see me. What’s going on?”
“Huh. I feel sorry for this friend. “I have other business to attend to, but I wanted to see you, so I came here myself.”
“Oh my. I made a mistake. “So, are the head of the family and the elders okay?”
“I’m glad you’re doing well.”
“As expected, it’s Panga. “Seeing how devoted my nephew is, I don’t have to worry about the future.”
These were not empty words.
The energy radiating from Paeng Kang-hwi was outstanding for his age.
“Don’t show off too much in front of me. “It is called the biggest dragon among the Nine Dragons and Four Peaks, but it is still a long way off.”
“Ohh! It is a member of the Guryongsabong Peak, which is said to be the best among the later expanses! “That’s amazing for someone who has just passed the terms and conditions!”
“Huh. Even if it’s not.”
Peng Su-won secretly boasted about his nephew to a close friend he had not seen in a long time.
Although he had some unreliable aspects, his martial arts skills were genuine. She had to make a good impression on others as she was the child who would become the face of Panga in the future.
‘Hehehe.’
Thanks to this, Peng Kang-hwi felt much better.
‘Even my uncle, who was always picky, now accepts me.’
Watching him suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, Peng Su-won inwardly shook his head.
‘this. I said something pointless. I have to be discouraged… … .’
If possible, it would be more effective to have someone of his age do the same, so Peng Su-won asked Heo Cheong to see if he could find out.
“Have you accepted a disciple yet?”
“haha. I got it a long time ago. “I became a Jihak (志學) student this year.”
“Huh. This friend. Couldn’t you have come to have some fun? Anyway, congratulations.”
“okay. I’ll be indebted to your house sometime. “Thank you.”
“Are you following the training well? Of course, your student would be smart.”
“haha. “I’m busy catching up.”
“Yeah, that makes sense… … huh?”
Paeng Soo-won, who had been shaking his head involuntarily, could not believe his ears.
I asked if he was following along well and he said it was difficult for him to follow.
Looking at his bewildered face, Heo Qing burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha! “Why are you so surprised?”
“… … “Did I hear that correctly?”
“of course.”
“… … “What does it mean?”
Heo Qing stopped walking.
His back was as straight as Kunlun Mountain, and his chest was wider than the Qinghai Lake.
“My student is not just a genius among geniuses, he is the greatest genius of all time.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Oh, you said your nephew was a dragon, right? My student is a real dragon. Lol.”
Both Peng Su-won and Peng Kang-hwi gaped.
No, even if someone else were here, what could they say?
At a time when Heo Cheong, the only one who could continue speaking, was about to continue bragging about his disciples,
“That’s all for today!”
“Wow!”
The boy’s clear voice was followed by a shout that shook Kunlun.
Peng Su-won and Peng Kang-hwi turned their heads in surprise and saw a place with a high wall.
It seemed like a training ground, but numerous figures began to fly up the wall.
“Ha! “Cloud dragon comes out to sea!”
“Infinite Buddha. Shinryongseonmu (神龍旋霧)!”
“Uraarat! “Yongyujahwi (龍遊紫徽)!”
Mr. Pang Sukjil looked with bewildered eyes at the old monks flying over their heads.
Isn’t this the light engineering technique that the Kunlun sect is proud of, the Cloud Dragon Eight Styles?
It’s like he’s doing it so desperately!
It wasn’t the end.
The gate opened and middle-aged monks poured out.
They were fidgeting with their feet like crazy, as if they didn’t have the energy to shout out martial arts names like old martial artists.
It’s literally a lifetime effort!
Geum-an-haeng-un (金雁行雲), Flying Dragon-Chuljeon (飛龍逐電), etc. were, of course, sacred magic techniques that represented the Kunlun sect!
“Huh… … .”
“What the hell is this…” … .”
The dazzling feast of seasons ended in an instant.
Mr. Pang looked inside the wide open door.
There, young Taoists were lying on the floor and writhing.
“Soo, uncle. “Isn’t the person vomiting over there the Taoist Jeonghyeon whom we met at Iljumun Gate earlier?”
“right. I don’t know what this means. Look, Heo Cheong. Let me tell you what happened… … huh? Hey, why are you suddenly running backwards? what… … “Wow!”
“Ahh!”
Where was he hiding?
How was he deceiving attention?
“Kyaaaah!”
Numerous women jumped out and ran, pushing Mr. Paeng.
At the end of that direction was a boy guru coming out of a door.
“Are you a person?”
“Poetry, fresh?”
The Pangs were astonished.
The boy’s dazzlingly beautiful appearance combined with the thick fog created a dreamlike atmosphere.
“oh! oh! After all, a day like today is a big deal!”
“Who said not! “How great it would be if there was heavy rain and fog every day!”
The women stopped at a certain distance from the boy Taoist, meaningless as they rushed forward.
“Aaaah! “Look at me!”
There were also people who attempted to break in.
“How dare you!”
However, I had to be frustrated by the organized movement of women with cloth wrapped around their arms that said ‘Jeongryong Guardian Group’ written on them.
“Please don’t do this! “People like you are the reason we get criticized!”
“It’s lucky if we just eat it. “If you tarnish the reputation of the True Jade Dragon, I won’t let you!”
The boy Taoist monk, who was watching the scene with an indifferent expression, opened his mouth.
“Sisters, what’s stuck in your throat?”
“no!”
“But why do you keep cackling?”
“Because of Jade Dragon!”
When the boy Taoist sighed, the women went into an uproar.
“Master Jeonggwang! Please eat some of this. I made it all night and you will like it… … .”
“joy! Preparing things like small vegetables. You always eat grass, so I have to give you meat! I happened to catch a pig… … .”
“These! What are you doing in this clean island? “If you want to give it to me, you have to prepare a gold treasure just like me!”
Jeong Gwang shook his head and then spotted Master Heo Qing.
Heo Qing was pointing at him and proudly introducing him to Mr. Pang.
“That guy is my student, the greatest genius of all time, surpassing the genius of geniuses. Let’s call it Jinokryong (true jade dragon) for short. Hahaha!”
