Episode 77
Fan dance
“What about the old man?”
Still, he is a dark power that rules the western martial arts world.
But still, he is their lord and the head of the household.
Can you just call me like this? Me?
“…I still can’t find it.”
However, the members of the Nokjon-dae (祿存隊), the best unit in the Tangata, were actively agreeing with Tang Ye-won’s expression, even though they could not show it outwardly.
It was so hard to lose sleep over the years of searching for the dark zone!
“Where’s the bar? Did I find the right place?”
“I searched everything.”
“A gambling table too?”
“As expected, he wasn’t there. Just in case, I swept all the blacksmiths nearby and even checked the secret gambling table, but he wasn’t there as expected.”
“You’re not the kind of person who would go to a dirty place like Giru… Aaaah! Where the hell did you run off to!!”
“It seems like he hasn’t even shown up in the Kowloon branch yet.”
Dang Ye-won clutched her temples.
The day we decided to visit Kowloon Branch is now approaching.
But the dark being that had disappeared was nowhere to be found, so much so that it seemed as if it had evaporated into the sky!
As the days passed, the beautiful forehead of the Tang Dynasty Emperor became filled with angry wrinkles, and the Nokjondae’s gloom grew deeper.
When was it? Was it when I was looking for the Black Water Fountain?
There was a similar incident back then, and I was barely able to find it after almost turning the string over.
The shame and humiliation they had to endure because even the servants of the Bunta were mobilized at that time was so unforgettable that they would kick off the blanket while sleeping.
So, the Dang Ye-won and Nok-jon-dae silently resolved to never let something like that happen again, and they were able to protect the dark zone without any major incidents or accidents.
After that, it seemed like he felt a little relieved.
The Dark Zone didn’t miss that gap.
Perhaps because of the experience he had learned during the Black Water Fountain, he hid it very exquisitely this time.
It was so thorough that anyone who saw it would think it was hidden in a net created by the Demonic Cult.
If you don’t feel angry about this, what kind of person are you?
“… What should we do, Miss? It’s time to put a chimney in the Kowloon branch house.”
“Oh my god. Just wait a minute.”
Dang Ye-won chewed her lower lip.
It was impossible to send a messenger to the Kowloon branch like this.
A visit to the dark zone without a dark zone.
There’s no way you could make a shitty picture like that.
Above all, the Guryong branch was where ‘that guy’ was.
I never wanted to look ugly.
Never!
‘To do that, I need to at least find some trace of where my grandfather was.’
However, it was hard to guess where he was going, as he never showed his nose at the bars and gambling tables where he used to sing songs all the time, saying he wanted to go there so much.
Then suddenly a thought crossed my mind.
‘Come to think of it… wasn’t that person in Guryong County?’
When Dang Ye-won was very young. A time when she still liked dolls more than poison and memorization.
There was a person who always said she was pretty, carried her on his back, and even made a doll for her to hold.
‘What do you want today?’
‘That’s what you showed me last time! When you pressed the button, the needle went out with a pop!’
‘… You’re probably the only one in the world who uses the Geumgangdongin, which is said to be used by the arhats of Shaolin Temple during training, as a mere toy doll. Hahaha! As expected, our Won-ah really has great talent.’
‘Hehehehehe. That’s right.’
I heard later that he had returned to his hometown to rest.
His hometown was… Guryong County, right?
“Oh my, why didn’t I think of this?”
Dang Ye-won scratched the back of her head nervously.
It was such an old memory that I must have forgotten it for a moment.
Or maybe I wondered if my grandfather, who ran away saying he was tired of family business, would go back to the blacksmith shop.
But whatever it was, I didn’t know that he would know anything about my grandfather’s actions.
“Turn around. There’s somewhere we need to go first.”
“Is there anywhere you would like to go?”
“Uh. Just one place.”
“Where is it?”
Sparks flew wildly from Dang Ye-won’s eyes.
Hurrruk!
“Grandfather’s house.”
Dang Ye-won clenched his fist.
Kwak.
Anyway, give it a try.
This time, I was going to lock you in solitary confinement and have you locked in a tomb of documents so that you would never be able to come out again.
Forever and ever!
* * *
“… Ugh, my ears are so ticklish. Is Won-ah somewhere cursing at me?”

On top of a pavilion overlooking the city of Guryong County at a glance.
Dark Zone poked his ear hole with his ring finger, then looked down while grabbing his hand from behind again.
The sun began to set little by little.
The dark streets at night became brighter as lights came on in every store.
A large crowd of people could be seen walking and coming through the streets.
A group of warriors, each with a sword attached to their waist or a spear strapped to their back.
Merchants would sell their goods to them, and sometimes they would bargain and buy their goods.
It was full of life.
It was a city that never sleeps.
“Good, good.”
Amzon always loved seeing sights like this.
At least in a place like this, you couldn’t smell death.
The smell of people living.
He always liked that kind of peace.
but.
On the contrary, the fact that he had to start a life where he had to kill someone in order to keep that peace sometimes made him depressed.
Is this the fate of the unmanned?
Even though I’ve lived to the age of ninety, it’s still a question I haven’t found an answer to.
But what can I do?
If that is the fate of the unmanned, then I have no choice but to accept it.
‘By the way, you said Dang Yun-hwi…? I wonder how things turned out.’
It was a very interesting task for him, as he was the best in the Sacheon martial arts world.
I wondered if the next task would be fun.
It was just then.
Kukookung!
Suddenly, an earthquake occurred in the distance, accompanied by a huge explosion.
“Huh? What, what is this sound?”
“What seems to have happened?”
“It’s the manor of the Kowloon branch! It’s on fire!!”
While the pedestrians were pointing at the Kowloon branch in confusion, Amjon also looked at the place and smiled.
‘It’s started.’
* * *
What the heck is this?
I raised my head with a puzzled look on my face.
Then, I saw Dangchuk-yong smiling broadly.
At that moment, I realized.
I got hit!
I hurriedly swung the fan.
Tata dadadang!
All the secret weapons flew into the air.
“What the heck is this-”
“Actually, I’m telling you this now, but there’s someone who made that fan with me. He asked me to tell you. He said he’s prepared a very interesting gift for you.”
“!?”
“Just try to block it well. I heard you’ll get quite a lot out of it.”
I was trying to test a weapon, but I ended up being tested instead.
What the hell is this bolt from the blue?
The problem was that the direction of the dark arrows flying at me was all doggedly aiming for bloodshed.
As if he knew every single detail of my body!
“It’s the dark zone! It seems to be the dark zone!”
A ghost cried out urgently.
My mind suddenly opened.
‘Dark Zone? Why is that guy here?’
“It is known that Dark Lord can figure out the owner’s lifestyle and physical characteristics just by touching the sword. In particular, among the assassination weapons he has designed in the past, there are often ones that are strictly specialized for only one target.”
‘!?’
You’re saying that you have great night vision skills that allow you to exploit your enemy’s weaknesses without even seeing them?
Is that actually possible?
Does that make sense?
It was a story that made no sense.
But if there was just one condition attached to it, everything would have made sense.
-Because it’s a dark zone.
The ten greatest masters in the world should not be considered in the category of humans.
They are already superhumans who have reached the state of enlightenment.
Anything was possible.
So this time it was just like that.
Rather, there was something else I should have noted here.
This debt also has the hand of the Dark Lord in it.
It was as if I had acquired a new recruit that I could not have gotten even for a thousand dollars.
The problem now is how to overcome this ridiculous gift of the dark side… … .
First of all, I gathered my composure.
The purple flame was burning brightly.
The subtle movements of the secret weapons that had not yet been collected were captured one by one in my field of vision.
How can I push these out?
It doesn’t make sense to just throw it away.
The very fact that it is a ‘gift’ implies that there is some hidden meaning within it.
I had to find it.
And there was only one hidden meaning behind this debt.
-Sword.
The dark zone is asking.
How will I unfold my sword with this debt?
It seemed that Amjon was very curious about Danggain, who was trying to learn swordsmanship, and wanted to help him in some way.
Of course, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to recover if I received that help twice.
Chorrrrrr!
For the first time, I opened up my debt.
A unique shape with many red flowers drawn on a black background.
I started to move my feet slowly and wave the fan.
Lannachal, where I trained to lay the foundations of martial arts before learning the sword.
If you break it down further and develop it, a new form of basic skill appears, consisting of a total of eight types of food.
It was the Eight Ways of Eternal Characters.
Sssss!
I slowly drew the character for eternity in the air.
Mark the side and the dot.
Wolf, cutting horizontally.
Effort, strike down to the center.
Enemy(?), raise it and cut it off.
The first four basic techniques were the basic techniques that strengthened Rannacha.
The book (策) is pushed out.
Pouring, pouring out.
Tak (啄), a short, loud sound.
Book(?), take a deep dive.
The latter four types of meditation were the basic techniques that deepened Rannachala.
In the first half of the time, when handling long weapons such as a dagger, staff, spear, or mallet, I have completely mastered it so that I can swing it with my eyes closed.
The latter half was still lacking in many ways, but when I mixed in the techniques of the Wild Tiger Twelve Spears that I had learned while fighting Baek San, even that began to feel familiar little by little.
Every time he waved his fan, his internal energy and magical powers would squirm as if they wanted to burst out at any moment.
I stepped on the wind and danced.
Wind and rain
whirlwind
Whistle, whistle, whistle… … !
The wind fluttered along the fan. The wind that started from my feet, passed through my body, my hands, and the fan, drawing itself into the air.
A fan dance was performed.
I was so absorbed in missionary work that I was driven by debt.
At this moment, I was the debtor, and the debt was me.
It was a total loss.
“her!”
“This can’t be-“
Parallel!
As the wind and waves combined, the fans flapped more and more extravagantly, and the ghosts let out exclamations of admiration.
“The meridians that were previously separate are now connected as one.”
“It seems like the spirit and flesh that were previously united have completely merged, and the enlightenment you had previously obtained has completely melted into you, raising your status-“
The dark energy stopped moving above the wind that Seonmu was pouring out, then flew into the air while dancing together.
It was as if I was watching a butterfly flying into the sky.
Tata dadadang!
The reincarnation demon temple
