“Should we say that it is dark under the lamp? The traces of the sword spirit, who is known to have wandered all over the world, eventually turned around and led to the land of Liaoning, where his original home is located. And in an unknown mountain, it is presumed that he left it behind. “I found the mark of a worthy family.”
Mo Yong-hwi said. Some martial families or sects had their own ways of communicating with their own signs. Only those within sight could convey their meaning through hand signals, but in isolated situations or when people arrived late, unique marks were left on surrounding landmarks to give them meaning. Since this method was like a kind of code, it was managed secretly and replaced with a new mark at regular intervals. What the Moyonga people found while searching was a mark that had been used for generations. This was when the Sword Demon Moyong Yeonmyeong was active….!
“Following the family mark, a cave that had been hidden by the Jinbeop was revealed.”
“It’s true.”
Yeon Myeong’s eyes lit up. Since ancient times, Jinbeop has been a rare art. Even a warrior who achieved arduous achievements could be ignorant of the true method. This is because the way it is implemented is different from ordinary martial arts studies. In order to handle Jinbeop, one must be proficient in various studies and also have knowledge of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. Therefore, among the practitioners, there were many people with deep knowledge. Representative examples include the characters from Zhuge Dynasty’s Muryangjeon and several Taoist characters.
In his previous life, Yeon-myeong had experienced the Jinbeop as a training place prepared by his master, Sword Demon. The master did not install it himself. I remembered hearing that they had mobilized a well-known Jinbeop expert. Could it be that the Jinbeop master also had a hand in the Sword Demon’s Tomb that Mo Yong-hwi is talking about now?
“Inside the cave, there was a white skeleton wearing clothes that were rotting and on the verge of crumbling, and several martial arts books. Although his identity was not directly mentioned, we were able to be certain that he was the person called the Sword Demon through various details revealed in his handwriting and books.”
“How were you so sure? “Handwriting aside.”
“This is because there was mention of power delays. What the Sword Demon did before his whereabouts became unclear was to inquire about the child who was born with retarded dragon power. It must have been to find someone who could make progress. Even when he contacted him at his home, he asked if there was anyone in the family who was born with dragon powers….. ”
Mo Yong-hwi trailed off for a moment. Dragon Power Retardation (龍力之體) is a physical quality that must be born in order to enter the martial arts of the Sword Demon. So, is the Lord of Jeongcheon in front of me born with a delay in dragon power? That kind of curiosity arose.
“I know what you want to ask. I wasn’t born with a dragon power delay either.”
At least in this life – it was a natural thing to swallow inside. Now that I think about it, I remembered the first time I awakened to my past life. He wanted to enter the familiar martial arts method, but his body was so wretched that it could not be compared to the body of his previous life. Not only that, but because he had problems with his entire body’s veins due to frequent beatings, there was no way for him to learn breathing techniques that deal with harsh energy, such as Paeryeokjingi.
“Is that so…..!”
Mo Yong-hwi seemed slightly pleased when Yeon-myeong said that he was not born with retarded power. Yeon Myeong guessed his intention. They may be hoping that there is a way to avoid dying young even if one enters the martial arts of the Sword Demon with an ordinary body. However, there is no way for someone born with an ordinary body to handle the powerful force without damaging the blood vessels. Strictly speaking, Yeon-myeong also did not deal with pure power. By considering the very nature of power as poison, he only came to the realization of turning the poisonous energy into power.
Mo Yong-hwi continued speaking in a slightly brighter voice.
“Also, the characteristics of each sword blade were consistent with the records of the original family about the sword demon’s martial arts skills. It is said that he mastered swordsmanship to the limit and condensed his knowledge into a few single sword strokes….”
“What are the names of the swordsmen?”
Yeon Myeong interrupted and asked. He had already figured out that Mo Yong-hwi was learning the martial arts of the Sword Demon. If the names of the swords are the same, the Tomb of the Sword Demon that Mo Yongga discovered must have been arranged by his master, the Sword Demon.
Mo Yong-hwi said.
“There were three types of Geomcho. Each had a name (Seom, Gwan, and Gyeong).”
“Three things.”
Yeon Myeong muttered quietly. This makes it almost certain. If there are only three types of Geomcho, and there is no mention of Seomgang, Changcheon Gwanil (蒼天貫日), and Gyeongcheon (天), which are the strengthened forms of Geomcho Island, Guan, and Gyeong – Geomguijimyolan, before the master went into seclusion with himself. There was a high probability that it had been made.
‘Now that I think about it, you said that you would already be known as a noble person in the world.’
Master Sword Demon never revealed your name and identity, saying there was no need to know a name that has disappeared from the world. If it weren’t for Mo Yong-hui, he probably wouldn’t have known that his master was a member of the Mo Yong family, and he wouldn’t have known that he had the same name as himself, ‘Yeon Ming’.
I had many thoughts about why the Tomb of the Sword Demon was left behind. It may not have been simply because he wanted to leave a legacy behind. If so, I don’t know anything else, but Seomgang should remain. It is highly likely that the geomcho seomgang used to cut the absorbing hemp was already completed at the time. According to Mo Yong-hwi’s words, what remained in Geomgui’s tomb were the foundations of Geomgui’s martial arts. Books on the law of defeat and swordsmanship.
‘Was it to fake death?’
Master was a person who disliked clutter. It is said that he received many benefits knowingly or unknowingly, so he may have set up something like a tomb tomb in order to completely leave the martial arts world and focus only on training. If death is certain, there will be no people bothering to search for it. Perhaps he knew that the eyes of the Moyong family were following him, so he built the sword and earji tomb on the land of Liaoning.
I wondered if the reason they left behind the skeletal martial arts was because they were keeping in mind what they would discover in the Moyong family. They would be able to confirm that the owner of the tomb was a sword spirit, and although no one would be able to learn it properly, it would not be a bad thing for martial arts to be passed down to them. Anyway, isn’t it the family that gave birth and raised me? Perhaps, in future generations, someone born with delayed powers will emerge who can make progress.
Of course, these were all just assumptions and guesses. It was unclear exactly what Master Sword Demon was thinking when he created the Sword Demon Tomb. In fact, the swordsman that Yeon Myeong knew was a person who was not obsessed with having a successor.
The sword-mad ghost wanted only one thing. Seeing the tip of the sword – for that purpose, he searched for a child born with delayed dragon power. Through the process of teaching, he looked back on his martial arts skills and tried to turn him into another swordsman and raise him as a family rival. Because there was no longer a strong person in the world who could take his sword,
Anyway, these things weren’t important at this point. Thinking that even the master could not have predicted that he would be discovered so late, Yeon-myeong looked at Mo Yong-hui.
In fact, when he said the name of the Sword Demon, it was a natural name that he felt nervous about, even though he did not express it. After all, it’s the Tomb of the Sword Demon? When Master reached the end of his life, he was the one who guarded his deathbed and took care of his body. The martial arts of the Sword Demon, based on defeat, did not leave any special monuments or bury them in caves. That’s why I was feeling puzzled, and after listening to the story in detail, it seemed like the Tomb of the Sword Demon was also arranged by the master. Although it did not seem to function properly,
‘Anyway, does this mean the author should be called to death?’
Yeon Myeong thought for a moment. In fact, if you look at it properly, this person studied directly with the Sword Demon and was fully taught the Sword Demon’s martial arts, including basic and enhanced Geomcho. It is nothing compared to Mo Yong-hwi, who entered the profession at a low level. But I couldn’t say this straight away. Because the Sword Demon has now become a person from hundreds of years ago. Furthermore, Mo Yong-hwi was the elder in terms of age, and if he had learned the martial arts of the Sword Demon since he was young, he would have been initiated before Yeon-myeong in this life. It deserves to be treated with the death penalty.
‘No, you can’t do that!’
Yeon Myeong muttered to herself. My past life, in which I lived for over 100 years, is still vivid. Although her mother Dang Ji-hye and some of her close friends, who were related to her by blood, said she could not help it, she did not want to show respect to Mo Yong-hwi, who was practically a young junior from her point of view, calling him a death penalty. As I was thinking about continuing to press down on him as the leader, Mo Yong-hwi spoke carefully.
“Lord. Has it been confirmed?”
“…It’s clear that Master is uneducated. The names match the swords that I have learned.”
“I haven’t been able to fully unfold it yet. It’s not that simple to put the knowledge I gained while practicing swordsmanship into a single sword blade.”
“Of course it is.”
“Anyway, I will continue the story. After discovering the Tomb of the Sword Demon, the main family secretly took care of his legacy. Only the direct relatives who were heavy-mouthed were mobilized. The joy of the family head after meeting the Sword Demon Muhak was great. Ma Gwang Cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok This may have been especially true at a time when he was busy harassing various shamans and being a libertine. At the time, his main family was called Se-ga, but there was no one who achieved outstanding achievements to the point of reaching the heights of peace.”
This is a story about a time when Nae Yeon-hyeok used his eccentric side to send out marriage talks here and there. Immediately after that, the presence or absence of a Hwagyeong master began to determine the prestige of a munpan or family. Among the five great families, only the Namgung family, who possessed a flower technique expert, was able to survive safely against Ma Gwang-cheon.
“Soon, the head of the family gave permission for anyone in the direct line of the family to view and learn the martial arts of the Sword Demon. At that time, I also read and memorized the Law of Defeat and various swordsmanship books. The head of the family did not stop there, but gave permission to those who could properly learn the martial arts of the Sword Demon. He even announced that he would pass on the family name to him.”
“If you aren’t born with a natural talent delay, it would be useless to learn the Power of Defeat method. Rather, your life will be in danger. “There must have been a warning on the emergency level?”
“Yes. It is written in the Book of Mental Law that if a criminal enters the law of defeat and defeat, internal injuries such as blood vessel damage will accumulate due to the force of defeat, and he will eventually die young. However, since the head of the family was from the original family of the sword demon, the martial arts person was also a member of the Moyong family. He seemed to think that there must be a way to learn it, even if it wasn’t because of the delay in power, but something happened before he could find that way.”
“It looks like Demon Light Heavenly Lord made a surprise attack.”
The incident that led to the fall of three of the five major families – the Sacheondang family, the Zhuge family, and the Moyong family – was famous. They were all related to Makwang Cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok, and all of them suffered damage that was close to extinction. It was not difficult for Yeon Myeong to guess what happened to the Moyong family at that time.
“That’s right. I don’t know where the information leaked, but Demon Gwangcheonju invaded the main house single-handedly to obtain the martial arts of the Sword Demon. It is known in the world that the fight broke out because the main family rejected Ma Gwang-cheonju’s marriage proposal, but his sole purpose was to seize the Sword Demon’s martial arts. “All the family’s masters came forward to stop him, but in the end, most of them died because they could not withstand even one attempt.”
It was a natural thing. It is not for nothing that Hwagyeong’s martial artist is called a peerless expert. To deal with their exclusive possession of strong energy, the only way is to use strong energy as well. In order to attack the masters of Hwagyeong, it was essential to deplete their internal strength and prevent them from using their strong skills. However, those who have reached Hwagyeong are also extremely efficient with their energy, so even if they expend their energy, they will quickly recover if given a little break. No matter how much power was gathered in the Moyong family, in the end, unless there was a master of Hwagyeong, they would not have been able to defeat Ma Gwang-cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok.
“Knowing that there was no hope, the Gasols fled in all directions to avoid the devil. No matter how much of a fire fighter you are, it will take quite some time to catch those who are running away by deploying a light attack in the opposite direction. That’s how several Gasols, including me, barely survived. When I returned to the family, the palace that had been there for a long time was completely destroyed, and the bastard, Nae Yeon-hyeok, did not touch any of the wealth or money, but only took the martial arts of the sword spirit.”
