“Sogaju. Are you sure you’re okay…?”
Bongwidaeju Tang Wonjin asked cautiously. After the communist faction members left, the next step was to attend the Sacheon branch of Yeon Myeong, the owner of Soga. However, of course, Yeon-myeong was declared to the bongguardae who were thinking of following Yeon-myeong. He said he would go alone to the Simhwa room where the Sacheon branch was held. They say that if you bring a lot of people with you, you will only attract attention.
Although it made sense, this was actually something that raised questions about the purpose of the Bongguardae’s existence. It was the duty of the Bong Guard, a military unit directly under Sogaju, to protect Sogaju and perform it without any inconvenience. From the Guard’s perspective, it is right that even a small number of people should follow their orders.
“Of course, we do not doubt Sogaju’s skills, but unexpected things often happen in the world. Didn’t Taeheo Jinin of the Gongpa faction also encounter the black snake while walking with a light heart? Just thinking about it just in case. “I wish I had brought some escort with me…”
“no.”
Yeon Myeong firmly interrupted the party members.
“If you really meet the Black Snake Lord, at your level, it will be nothing more than a split second. You will die in vain. I have no intention of using my subordinates as sword holders. I will quietly build up my skills and protect my family.”
The party members were silent. In the end, it meant that it would be difficult to call oneself a natural bodyguard at the current level of the defense force. My appetite was bitter.
After returning to the family, Yeon Myeong watched the training of Bong Guard in his spare time. Those who witnessed the use of force by Yeon-myeong received the guidance of Yeon-myeong without much resistance. Even though he was young, it was clear that Sogaju was an incredibly talented person. Didn’t he kill the elders who were revered as the greatest masters in the family one after another?
The advice on training from a master who has reached the peak is truly golden…!
Most of the warriors of the Bongguardae felt limited in their achievements. That’s because they were the ones who worked hard to cut bones for over ten years until the Sogaju competition was held after the bloody battle with Ma Gwang-cheon. I had already put in the effort to fully demonstrate my talents.
Yeon Myeong saw through their condition at a glance. Those who lack talent, not effort. What they needed was a heavenly enlightenment or detailed teachings from a master who had reached a much higher level.
一Take internal force operation more precisely. Not a single handful of genuine energy should be wasted. If you use your internal power in such a way that it produces roughly the same amount of power, it is difficult to be called a true expert even if you reach a level of advancement.
Although this Sogaju is not well-versed in memorization and martial arts, it is clear that there is bound to be a limit to its power if it relies solely on the performance of memorization itself. There are countless types of weapons in the world, but there must be a reason why the simplest forms of swords, swords, and spears have been in the spotlight for a long time. First, make sure you can handle simple memorization such as shuriken or rain sword. Once you become completely proficient in handling one, you can continue to practice with two, three, four… and more. It will get harder, but don’t give up. Of course, it may be tempting to use anomalous memorization to easily increase your killing power, but if you truly want to reach the level of advancement through memorization and martial arts, it would be better to follow my advice.
1. Battles do not always go in one’s favor. For example, suppose you meet an expert in the art of boxing. Because of their acquired martial arts skills, they are usually very good at bridging the gap. What would you do if you faced such a situation? Even if you have not neglected your Divine Law training, your opponent’s Divine Law may be superior. It is natural to prepare a way to deal with approaching enemies. Since we always focused on fighting from a distance, there may be things we didn’t see. Always keep in mind We don’t know where the beginning of enlightenment can be obtained. Your eyes may be opened by practicing something you didn’t normally do.
The advantages of memorizing martial arts include stealth and superiority in distance, but the biggest one is that they can unleash multiple attacks in a single move. In an instant, you will be able to do the work of several people on your own. Although it is not a sustainable killing power as memorized numbers are effective,
In any case, when fighting a higher-level expert, it is advantageous to have more force that can be unleashed in an instant. Please note that it is more efficient to build up your skills to take advantage of your strengths.
一In a way, it would be rare to have a martial arts specialty that specializes in joint training as much as a memorized martial arts class. If you keep a distance and pour out your memorization, there is no need to worry about your allies getting hit. But on the other hand, since there are no such concerns, there seems to be a side where interaction with each other is not that important. Simply attacking together doesn’t mean it’s a joint attack. The attacks should continue as if the spokes of a carriage were turning. Even from the perspective of being attacked, a continuous attack would be more burdensome than an attack that comes all at once. Don’t think of it as a petty thing to do, but seriously practice your passing skills. At some point, you will be able to naturally sense the flow of offense and defense.
一The essence of Bonga Dokgong is the basic technique, Dokyocheonggwangsimbeop. I don’t know if you will believe it, but this Sojiazhu only learned one technique, Dokyoucheonggwangsimbeop, and achieved great success. The other mental laws of the family are branched off from the Dokyoucheonggwangsimbeop. Of course, this does not mean that the mental techniques you have learned are useless. I’m just saying that sometimes it can be helpful to go back to the basics.
I would not recommend learning Yongdoksul separately. Of course, if you have a huge amount of extreme poison in your hand, you can show considerable killing power with just the dragon poison technique, but it is almost impossible to deceive the spirit of a master who has reached the level and deceive the poison. Excluding intangible poisons, similar extreme poisons usually have a noticeable color or scent. Rather, it would be much more powerful to refine the level of memorization and use poisoned memorization.
All the warriors of the Bongguardae were greatly shocked by Yeon Yeommyeong’s unstoppable teachings. They easily suggested the direction in which to focus their efforts, and it was clear that their insight into the family’s martial arts was very deep. The gap in skill was so drastic that a feeling of envy, rather than jealousy or envy, naturally arose. I came to admire him as Gasol of the Tang family and as a warrior who walked the path of memorizing martial arts.
The desire to somehow be recognized by their superiors was prevalent among them. Days passed as I practiced and practiced sparingly at night.
However, no matter how motivated you are, it is not easy for a person to change significantly in just 15 days. No matter how they felt about it, in the eyes of Yeon Yeon-myeong, the Bong Guard would still be seen as substandard. So much so that it’s difficult to use as a sword holder.
The party members are probably smiling bitterly right now because they are guessing that fact.
There was no way. All they have to do is grow stronger until their master recognizes and needs them.
Yeon Myeong said.
“Don’t feel too bad about it. Protecting the family is also an important task, so I’m leaving it to you. Take good care of the head of the family.”
“…I follow your orders.”
“And if you get a call from the Community Sect before I return, go meet them at the designated location and collect the promised money. That’s more important than my escort right now. You won’t have to worry about the family’s finances for the next few years. “It’s a lot of money.”
“I understand. Sogaju. But….”
“Why do you do that?”
“We are not accompanying you, but are you willing to attend the Sacheon branch alone…?”
“I was planning to go alone.”
Yeon Myeong said with an expression as if that was such a big deal. Originally, Yeon Myeong had no intention of attending the Sacheon branch. Because I didn’t feel the need to attend events where Sapa’s miscellaneous people gathered and strengthened their friendships.
The reason why I changed my mind was because of the communal faction.
While they were on their way to fight against demonic religion with Kunlun, Hyeonso, who was concerned that the apostolic factions under the Heuksaryeon might invade the communal faction, asked Yeon-myeong to do so. Please suppress the movements of the Four Heavenly Apostles until the battle against the Demonic Cult is over.
Yeon Myeong promised confidently. I will prevent the factions under the Black Silent Alliance from turning their attention elsewhere.
This is why, although they were elites directly under the Presbytery, they were able to make quite a lot of money by only supporting three armed forces. Yeon-myeong was about to fulfill his promise with Hyeon-so by causing trouble at the Sacheon branch. There are probably many people who look down on Dangga, the only martial arts family in Sacheon. The plan was to deliberately accept their disputes, arouse their anger, and eventually fight with all of Apostle Bangpa’s successors who attended the Sacheon branch. Of course, the intention was to kill a significant number of people and cause chaos.
Since it was such an event, I took it for granted that I would attend alone.
However, Tang Wonjin shook his head and said.
“You are probably aware of the rules for attending the Sichuan branch meeting. The attendees must be accompanied by a bodyguard and servant who is not of the age specified in the terms and conditions. It is also against the rules to bring more people, but no bodyguards or servants are allowed. It can be said that attending alone is against the rules, and people may intentionally find fault with you and get in trouble.”
“Hoo.”
Yeon Myeong’s eyes lit up when he heard the party members pointing out things he had not thought about. It certainly made sense. If he refused to attend the party’s Sacheon branch by talking about the rules, things would have gone awry from the start. Of course, if that had happened, Yeon Myeong would have completely turned the entire Simhwa Room upside down.
Although he was a natural person who remembered his past life of over 100 years, he spent most of his time swinging the sword, so people like Tang Won-jin were more experienced in handling situations where understanding between forces and prestige were intertwined.
“Looking at the fact that Lord Su suddenly decided to attend the Sichuan Branch, there must be some reason. If you want to attend the Sichuan Branch smoothly, it would be better to meet the conditions they set out.”
“A bodyguard and attendant….”
Yeon Myeong thought about who he should take. Since there was a restriction that they had to be people who had not met the terms and conditions, the ones that immediately came to mind were the seven competing groups.
Dang Ijeon, Dang Mi Ryeo, Dang Yuri.
“Besides, you will definitely get caught up in various matters… It will be a hassle to handle everything on your own every time. There will be various chores, including delivering and receiving letters. Still, you are the small owner of the family, so please take care of yourself. “It would be a good idea to bring people with you.”
“I understand. I will follow the opinion of the Great Lord Bongwi on that part.”
“thank you.”
****
A girl with a cheerful appearance opened her mouth.
“Uncle. The Sichuan branch that So Gaju is attending. How about I accompany you there? It seems like a great opportunity to get closer.”
Zhuge Yingying was in good spirits. I tried to somehow establish a connection with Tangga Sogaju Yeon Myeong.
Yeon Myeong was a handsome young man whom she had never seen before, and he was the only man of her age who did not waver even after seeing her for the first time. In many ways, he is the man who took her first place. Moreover, the background is also powerful. Because he was a man who was almost certain to become the head of the family and lead the family in the future. It couldn’t have been better as a partner.
“…It could be dangerous. This is because the Sacheon Branch is not an ordinary social gathering.”
Zhuge Changxin warned with a calm expression.
“It is a place where the forces of the Four Sects under the Black Lion are fighting over all kinds of interests in Sacheon. The ranking of the Bangpa factions is determined there. In the Bangpa Apostles, the inaction of Bangju or Munju is an important factor in determining the power. Next is Bangpa. If the inaction of the successor to lead the family is known to be of little importance, it can be said that it is a common occurrence for several of the later Jisoos in attendance to lose their lives. Since Sogaju’s seat was vacant, he did not attend the Sacheon branch meeting, so even if it were not for that, he would be treated as a public enemy as he was the only martial arts person in Sacheon. “You never know what might happen.”
“Of course, uncle. How can I win his heart without taking this much of a risk? No, I’d rather something happen at the Sichuan branch. It might be an opportunity to strengthen my relationship with Su Jiazhu, right? Uncle, too. “You say that, but deep down, it seems like you are happy for me to accompany you to the Sacheon branch…”
“anyway.”
Zhuge Changxin habitually opened his mouth and slightly covered his mouth before speaking.
“Despite this risk, if your intention is truly firm, let me meet with the head of the family and talk to him. If the appointment has not been decided yet, it will be possible for you to join us.”
“Please, uncle.”
Zhuge Yingying thought with a grin. Maybe this time we will be able to see the true face of Yeon Yeom-myeong. She did not know what would happen at the Sacheon branch, but she was determined to win the hearts of her natural people.
