Episode 111
If you get too angry, start with Confucius
Just as a place after a storm is not quiet, the Guryong branch that the storm called Amjon passed through was also noisy.
“Are you sure that what the Dark Lord said is true?”
“There’s no chance of you changing your mind, right?”
Even after the Dark Lord left, no one was able to leave their seat without permission.
Whether they were third-rate ronin or famous people, they all had the same feelings at that moment.
Dang Ho-san very simply dismissed the skeptical questions about whether he could really be trusted.
“Don’t you all know this? Your Majesty is not the type to put spilled water back in your mouth.”
Everyone nodded heavily.
The reason why Dark Lord is considered the best in the Sacheon martial arts world today is not simply because of his outstanding martial arts skills.
It was because of his negotiated course of action over the past several decades and the weight of his words that he never spoke lightly.
So, this announcement could not possibly be false, was Dang Ho-san’s explanation, and everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In fact, they did not doubt the true intentions of the Dark Lord.
However, the reason why it was difficult to believe was because the determination to hand over the Doban Samyang Gwiwon Gong was so great.
But now that I was convinced that Danghosan was not wrong, I had no choice but to quickly calculate the abacus in my head.
‘He said he would teach the Doban Samyang Gwiwon Gong, but in reality, it is the same as saying he will raise disciples as a group.’
‘Perhaps we might choose a true successor among them?’
‘If that happens-‘
‘It may be possible to privatize the new wind power plant.’
‘It might even have an influence on Dangata too… …!’
Amzon had not yet officially announced a successor.
Although there was a Sogaju in Dangkata, no one thought of him as a ‘successor’ in the true sense of the word.
A successor is someone who inherits the achievements of his predecessors and develops them further.
So, the nobles all speculated that the person whom the king would hand over his name, Doban Samyang Gwiwon Gong, might be the ‘real’ successor.
Therefore, it was difficult to say that the current Sogaju, who had not succeeded the Doban Samyang Gwiwon Gong, would succeed the position of Danggaju, but would continue the karma of the dark lord.
Although the only person being mentioned was Dang Ye-won, the situation was not certain.
But since things turned out this way, it was possible to conclude that the new leader of the storm was none other than the successor to the Dark Lord.
‘Although eight people, including Cheongseongsingeom, were mentioned as candidates-‘
‘This is not certain either, so the situation can change at any time.’
In the end, people’s various thoughts reached one conclusion.
―The successor to the Dark Lord may be born from this gate!
A fire of ambition lit up in people’s eyes.
Even those who secretly showed wariness and hostility toward the Dark Lord.
‘Anyway, there is no one who can manipulate the minds of the crowd so freely.’
Danghosan looked at them and laughed in vain.
Isn’t it amazing how, with just a slight change in focus, he can turn all those who were wary of the birth of a new whirlwind into his allies?
On the one hand, my heart was pounding with excitement at the fact that I could now achieve my long-cherished dream.
“… … .”
Danghosan looked up at the sky.
The sky was very clear.

After a chaotic time, a small after-party began.
Of course, since the Demonic Cult had come so close to their chins, they couldn’t throw a grand drinking party, but they were able to have a light chat over some snacks.
The atmosphere of concern about the Demonic Cult had also greatly diminished due to the enlightenment of the Lion King and the majesty of the Dark Lord.
Thanks to this, the nouns were able to discuss various topics.
Although the discussion about the new wind power plant was the biggest topic of conversation, there was also talk of various businesses as people who would not normally meet gathered from all over the place.
“So if you could let me move the Heaven and Earth Pagoda in this direction-”
“I think I heard somewhere that you have mining rights for Baeksan Iron and Steel in the Guangxi region. That’s why I’m telling you-”
But there was another place where there were a lot of crowds.
Eight people that Amzon had marked as potential new whirlwind leaders.
They were already being given strange nicknames such as Gwangpungpaljun (狂風八俊) or Huampalseong (後暗八星), meaning the potential successor chosen by the dark lord.
Among them, there were some famous people, and some that made you tilt your head and wonder why they were there.
However, since it was mentioned directly by Amzon, there was bound to be a lot of interest, so the area around them was bustling with huge crowds.
But among them, there was one person who really attracted the most attention.
He is the one who formed a sworn brother relationship with the Lion King and now threatens even Lee Cheol-san’s position as the best of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Sosangbanak Dangunhwi.
It was me.
“Your Majesty, I-”
“In the text, the Tang Confucius-”
Originally, I was going to have a drink with the Lion King after the rain, but… this guy suddenly got called aside by the Dark Lord and ended up running over to him.
Of course, knowing full well how useless these flies were, I had placed Jeongpunggak agents around in advance, but it seemed that this was not enough.
There were a ton of people making a fuss, begging to be allowed to see my face just once.
It must have been so annoying that Dang-gon shook his poison bag while showing an annoyed expression on his face.
“Hmm!”
“Come to think of it, I forgot about my promise to meet Baek Daehyeop later!”
“You too? Let’s go together! I also need to greet you, Grandmaster, after a long time! Hehehe!”
Then, everyone realized they were all running away without turning their backs.

“also!!”
I watched the scene, laughing out loud.
Danggon frowned.
“What else is there?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“Watch what you say. If you talk nonsense, the table will flip over right away.”
Danggon put his hand under the table where I was drinking.
“Hey, then I won’t say anything.”
“Shit!”
“Are you curious? Tell me?”
“Okay.”
I smiled and poured some alcohol into Danggon’s glass.
“How are you feeling, Musabu?”
“… … .”
A question with many implications.
Ttorr.
Danggon swallowed his words for a moment until his glass was full.
In fact, he was very nervous and preoccupied with something other than being a bystander.
“I don’t know.”
“Huh? Isn’t this the moment you were most looking forward to?”
“I did. In my life, there has probably never been a moment I looked forward to as much as I did today.”
“however?”
“Now that I’ve actually accomplished it… my head starts to get a little complicated. I wonder if I can really do it well.”
I could vaguely see what Dang-gon was worried about.
“Are you afraid that you won’t be able to recreate the glory of the past Gwangpungdae?”
“… Yes. To be honest, yes.”
Danggon was appointed as the general instructor this time.
This was because Danghosan still had to take charge of the Guryong branch.
However, it seems that there was a lot of mental pressure.
Of course, since there is active support from Dangkata, the new Gwangpungdae will have to be made more plausible than the previous one. It would be stranger if there was no pressure.
“I’m worried, too. The time has come, and the moon has set, and the gentleman who used to drink heavily at a bar is suddenly the head instructor… Is this the ‘I used to be a backwater bum, but I found out I was the commander of a legendary martial arts unit!?’ that I’ve only heard about?”
Dang-gon’s face suddenly distorted into something pleasing to the eye.
“If you keep teasing me, I’ll just get up.”
“Oh! Why are you doing this just because we joked around once?”
I quickly grabbed Danggon’s hand.
“What is our relationship?”
“What is our relationship? It’s between master and disciple.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t that so?”
“… … .”
“I have tremendous respect for our Master Musabu. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today, right?”
At that moment, Dang-gon’s pupils shook slightly.
A thoughtful face.
I smiled brightly.
“Just drink what I gave you. It’ll cool down, it’ll cool down.”
“… Damn it! Anyway! Wouldn’t it be annoying if you couldn’t even speak!”
Danggon grumbled and drank the tea in one gulp.
widely!
Torrr-
I said as I filled the road glass.
“Musaboo.”
“What is it?”
“Do you remember when you first said you would teach me?”
“How could I forget? That’s when my wallet started to dry up!”
“Hey, why are you still babbling about something that happened so long ago? You are the head instructor of the new Gwangpungdae.”
“For me, it’s still ongoing. I’m still paying off that debt.”
“Hehehehehe! Is that so? I didn’t know that.”
“Can you please stop that fu*king laughter?”
“Why! It just sounds good!”
“It’s just annoying to hear! And do you know that one of the powers of the General Instructor is to force troublemakers to leave the unit? Would you like to try it out as a representative? Yes??”
I quickly nodded my head.
“I’m sorry! I’ll be careful about my actions!”
“Be careful. Just try to get caught just once. Then I’ll blow you straight into the abyss, no matter what.”
… Ah, this is a bit unexpected?
No matter what anyone says, our Musabu-nim is the best when he’s teased! Bullying doesn’t suit him!!
“It seems like you’re still thinking about something to get people to do?”
“Hehehehehe! How could that be? This unworthy disciple is simply too moved by the boundless power of the Master to continue speaking properly!”
“Stop this inappropriate behavior and say what you were going to say.”
“I wonder?”
Danggon also filled my cup with tea.
I picked up the glass and swirled it around.
Every time the tea water danced, my face reflected on the surface of the water smiled faintly.
“I don’t really like it, but I heard that I got a nickname like ‘So-saeng-ban-ak’ or something this time? And I’m also called the number one of the Hu-am-pal-seong.”
“Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you put gold on your face?”
“Is this something that’s been going on for just a day or two?”
“… … .”
“Anyway, that’s not what I wanted to say. What I want to say is that it was Musabu’s help that made it possible for me to become like that.”
“… … .”
Danggon’s lips were shut tightly.
I was sincere.
Of course, I think it is thanks to Master that I am who I am today.
And from now on, throughout my life, he will be the only true teacher in my heart.
But apart from that, I can confidently say that it was Danggon’s help that allowed me to survive as ‘Dangunhwi’.
To that extent, Danggon has become an indispensable person to me.
Does that person have a shoulder press?
How can you leave it like that?
“The Musabu’s skills have already been proven. What more do you need?”
I put a lot of effort into it and put a lot of strength into my shoulders.
To other people, it might just be showing off or being unlucky, but to Dang-gon, it would be seen differently.
“Make another version of yourself like you did to me. Treat the ones who listen well well, and if there are any who don’t listen, just let them be. But they still don’t listen? What’s the problem? Just cut them off.”
“… … .”
“Aren’t all the articles that are said to be the best in Sacheon going to be gathered here? Just roll them around as you see fit. Then, that will be the result.”
“… … .”
“It’s good to be worried. It’s good to even be concerned or worried. It means that you’re thinking about it so intensely. The results will be great. But worrying about your own abilities, well-”
I continued, narrowing my eyes.
“I wonder if it’s unnecessary to worry about this?”
Dang-gon was lost in thought for a while, then started scratching his head nervously.
“Ha! What the hell!”
Then he put down his teacup hard and instead took the entire jug from the table and drank it in one gulp.
If someone saw you, they’d think you were drinking alcohol.
It seemed like his throat was parched from the stuffiness.
“It’s annoying to hear such things from a disciple who is so unworthy! But then again, it’s all true, so I can’t say anything! Ugh!”
“Ehhhhhh.”
“Don’t laugh. I’m really going to make you sick.”
“That’s a hangover.”
“Ah, that snout!”
Dang-gon’s eyes sparkled as he wiped the tea flowing down his lips with the back of his hand.
“Okay, let’s try. If I can’t do it, what else can I do but fail?”
“That’s a good mindset.”
“And if you get too angry, you can just cut off the Confucius. That would be really refreshing and nice, right?”
“What did this old man say?”
I continued to bicker with Danggon for quite some time after that.
Still, it was fun.
Now I feel like I’ve finally returned to the Danggon I knew.
The reincarnation demon temple
