◈ Main character (2)
“Monk Mujin?”
“Mujin. Where?”
If his companions hadn’t called him from behind, he might have lost his mind and talked to Do Wol-cheon.
‘… … It was almost dangerous.’
If you approach Do Wol-cheon here and make a mistake, the future will be distorted.
In order to see the end of this novel, Do Wol-cheon had to grow into a ‘failure’ according to the contents of Part 2 of the novel.
And the incident that triggered this was the massacre of his entire family.
So, no variables should arise at least until he goes through that incident and completes his five years of training.
but.
‘… … Are you just letting the family perish?’
I didn’t mind until I thought he was just a character in a novel, but after witnessing Do Wol-cheon in person, my mind became confused.
Do Wol-cheon was clearly just a character in a novel.
“Monk Mujin. Are you okay?”
“what’s the matter? “You don’t look good?”
Jegal Jin-hee, Mu-gyeong, Mu-yul, and Mugung are looking at him with concern.
So, are the people we have been laughing and chatting with just characters in a novel?
Was Hyeon-gwang, who cared for him like his own grandfather, just a character in a novel?
Have I treated them only as characters in novels until now?
The topic that he had been trying to live without until now took root in Mujin’s mind.
* * *
Mujin was lost in deep thoughts, but he couldn’t continue his thoughts for that long.
“Monk Mujin of Shaolin! “Please enter the training hall!”
This was because the examiner’s voice was heard calling him by his name.
Mujin tried to shake off his complicated thoughts and headed to the training hall to judge for the second preliminary round.
The inside of the training hall was divided into sections with a kind of curtain, and in the section where Mujin entered, there was a middle-aged warrior.
“This preliminary round will be held through Dalian. “I will give up the first strike, so start when you are ready.”
A middle-aged warrior briefly explained the second preliminary round.
Because the second preliminary round was held in Dalian, the training hall had to be divided into sections by setting up a curtain. Maybe it’s the finals. You don’t want to reveal your martial arts skills to each other in the preliminaries.
And the middle-aged martial artist who was in charge of Mujin’s second preliminary round gazed at Mujin with his sword drawn in a calm manner.
‘I’m a disciple of Shaolin… … I heard the results of the first preliminary round were quite close, right?
The middle-aged martial artist in charge of this round of preliminaries was a member of the Murim Alliance.
Since the Murim Alliance was a union of all factions belonging to political factions, the level of warriors there was considerable.
In particular, it was a great honor and opportunity for one of the disciples to become a martial arts warrior in a sect or sect that included the Nine or Five Great Families.
This was because if you were selected as a Murim Alliance warrior, you could learn martial arts provided by the Murim Alliance and receive training from instructors selected from Gupa Ilbang or Odaesae.
The middle-aged warrior who drew the sword was also a man who had reached the level of being called an expert in his own right, as he had been active as a warrior of the Murim Alliance for more than ten years.
On the contrary, since he had been in the Murim Alliance for a long time, he knew better than anyone else the fear of the old group, but at least he was confident that he would not be defeated by children of the age who would be called late Jisoo.
but.
“!!!”
The moment Mujin, who was in a nose-straight posture, moved his body, ripples appeared in his seemingly quiet eyes.
Mujin’s speed, which showed off his bankruptcy, was so fast that even the expert warrior’s eyes could only see an afterimage.
It is truly an explosive speed worthy of the expression ‘gunshin bullet’!
‘But the movements are too blatant!’
A bit of a surprise. The middle-aged warrior swung his sword in accordance with the path Mujin was running toward.
The Shaolin disciple, who thought he would naturally avoid it, surprisingly threw a fist towards his sword.
The young monk’s fists were filled with golden energy, and the middle-aged monk also urgently raised his energy.
Just before the warrior’s sword and Mujin’s fist collided, a blue sword energy also emanated from the middle-aged warrior’s sword.
bang!!!
Immediately after the collision that caused a violent explosion.
Clink.
“her. “Hehehe.”
The middle-aged warrior burst into laughter with a metal sound echoing on the floor.
“I never thought this would break… … .”
He looked at his sword, which had been cut in half, with a devastated expression.
Of course, his way was not a special way that could be called Shinbyeonggi.
‘Anyway, how could it be so cleanly cut in two when it was wrapped in pottery?’
It could truly be said to have been a complete defeat. And that too in just one day.
“Hmm. Monk Mujin of Shaolin. Congratulations on advancing to the finals.”
“Amitabha Buddha. thank you.”
At the words of the middle-aged military officer, Mujin took the honor as class president.
Since my mind was in a complicated state, I tried to control my strength, went to sleep, and just performed martial arts with all my might, and the sparring ended easier than I thought.
Mu-jin, who came to his senses a little after winning the battle in Dalian, asked the middle-aged warrior about something that came to his mind.
“But, is this car the end of the Yongbong branch preliminaries? “I knew there were up to three rounds.”
“Except for the third preliminary round, there is a sparring between the latter-day indexes who showed outstanding skills in the second preliminary round. However, those who win against the judges in this preliminary round can advance directly to the finals.”
“Thank you for the explanation. Amitabha Buddha.”
After raising the law once again, Mujin left the judging room.
Looking at Mujin’s back, the middle-aged warrior thought.
‘You have raised a ridiculous monster in Shaolin…’ … .’

* * *
After completing this round of preliminaries, Mujin and his companions headed to Cheonryu Sangdan Bunta to exercise, but Mujin, who had a complicated mind, could not concentrate properly on the exercise.
Thinking that he might get injured for no reason, Mujin uncharacteristically decided to take a day’s rest.
“Ha, you’re taking a day off?”
“… … “Aren’t you in pain, Mujin?”
“Do you happen to buy coins?”
When Mujin said he would take a day off, the Mujabae trio’s eyes widened.
Mujin is taking a break from muscle training. It was a story about the sun rising from the west.
“I just have something to think about.” “There’s no judging tomorrow, so I’m planning to double it, so don’t worry.”
After calming them down a bit, Mujin returned to his lodgings and stayed in his room to gather his thoughts.
In the end, that was the point.
Are we going to just leave Dowolcheon alone and let it fall into disrepair as it unfolds in the novel?
Or will he completely twist the plot of the novel by informing him of the approaching threat to his family?
The first is just a psychological feeling of rejection. It was the safest way to see the end of this novel.
And in the second case, Do Wol-cheon, who did not experience the opportunity to become extinct, may have grown slower than in the novel.
Although he had intervened in the affairs of Cheonryu Sangdan and Zhuge Jinhui before, Dowolcheon’s case was different. He was the main character of Part 2, and the extinction of his family was the opportunity for his awakening. If he fails to awaken, the further he goes, the more difficult the war against the forces of darkness becomes.
Moreover, if Dowolcheon’s growth slows down, it would be a good thing, but the plot would be completely mixed up and the family might be extinct one by one.
This is because, even if the fact was known, the possibility of Cheonseommun surviving would converge to zero.
What the dark forces are aiming for is the Cheonseomdo (千閃刀), an heirloom of the Cheonseommun Gate. To be exact, it was the secret hidden in that heirloom.
Naturally, in order to avoid an attack that did not occur, Dowolcheon’s father abandoned the heirloom or had no arm chin.
This was a medieval martial arts world that valued history, family, or monks above all else.
As the plot unfolds, there may be a case where Dowolcheon dies as well in the process of Cheonseommun being destroyed.
If you think about it rationally, the first option was ultimately the correct answer… … .
“Hey, f*ck.”
Mujin, pretending to be a monk, spewed out a swear word that he hadn’t uttered in a while and jumped up.
Anyway, Dowolcheon may be staying somewhere in Oehyeon right now.
no. Maybe things have already gone awry.
As four Shaolin disciples, including himself, advanced to the finals, Do Wol-cheon could have failed to advance to the finals.
Even if you leave Dowolcheon unattended, something could happen, and conversely, even if you try to take care of it, you may not be able to encounter Dowolcheon.
It didn’t suit Mujin’s temperament to think about the infinitely increasing number of cases without a clear answer.
“Let’s just do what I want!”
If you don’t want to worry about things that haven’t happened, just follow the path you believe is right.
And what if there is a problem?
Then you just have to go and solve the problem.
That was Mujin’s way.
* * *
After organizing his thoughts, Mujin concentrated on training for seven days and nights from that day.
During that period, the second and third preliminary rounds of the Yongbong branch were held in the Murim League.
And at the entrance of the Murim Alliance, which had completed all the preliminaries, there was a bracket with the names of the finalists written on it.
Mujin and Shaolin disciples headed to the Murim Alliance to confirm the visit.
“Hmm.”
Mujin glanced at the bracket and stroked his nonexistent beard.
‘First of all, I think we will easily get to this game.’
The Shaolin disciples’ opponents were all characters whose names I did not remember seeing in the novel.
Of course, Mujin’s memory is not perfect, so they could have been characters that appeared in the novel.
However, the fact that I didn’t remember it meant that even if it did appear, it had only a small role, so it didn’t really matter.
Thinking about that, I turned my gaze and, fortunately or unfortunately, Do Wol-cheon’s name was also written there.
‘… … ‘It seems there is such a thing as fate.’
Even though the list of finalists changed four times due to Shaolin disciples, Do Wol-cheon’s opponent remained the same as in the novel.
[Cheonseommun Dowolcheon vs. Namgungse and Namgung Jincheon]
Do Wol-cheon’s opponent was Namgung Jincheon, a late-time exponent known as the best player in the world.
‘It’s Namgung Jincheon… … .’
In the novel The Battle of the Sado Emperors, Namgung Jincheon and Do Wolcheon faced off a total of three times, and had their own rivalry.
He was also the person who made Do Wol-cheon realize the ‘wall of talent’.
‘I’ve read it too many times, but to be honest, I feel like it’s more of a combat power gauge than a rivalry.’
In the first duel, Dowolcheon is defeated unilaterally. In the second duel, Namgung Jincheon, who ignored Do Wolcheon, narrowly loses.
And in the third duel, Do Wol-cheon just unilaterally destroys him.
It was something that could not be helped. Because Do Wol-cheon in the last half of the novel was a monster equivalent to the current Three Swords of the World.
On the contrary, Namgung Jincheon’s martial arts development is delayed to some extent due to ‘a certain problem’. What the problem is is also revealed by Do Wol-cheon after the third duel.
‘I already joined the Yongbong branch because of that problem.’
If it weren’t for that problem, Mujin would have deserted as soon as he left Shaolin under the excuse of Yongbong branch.
Around the time when Mu-jin was recalling the contents of the novel by looking at the names of Do Wol-cheon and Namgung Jincheon written on the bracket.
The trio of Mujabae were also having a conversation while looking at the opponents listed on the door.
They each checked their opponents and then looked at the rest of the matchups.
“It was at that time that you, Zhuge Jinhui, met the leader of the Hwasan Sect.”
I muttered after seeing the quite strange lineup.
At their words, Mujin came out of his thoughts and glanced at the bracket again.
[Jegal Se Jegal Jin-hee vs. Hwasan Sect Hong So-il]
Indeed, as Mugung said, Jegal Jinhee faced Hong Soil.
‘hmm. I was thinking of using this opportunity to nip the volcanic wave in the bud.’
It was a bit disappointing, but when I thought about it, it was a pretty fun matchup.
‘If you get hit on by a girl you like, that would be humiliating, right?’
In Mu-jin’s opinion, Hong So-il was not Jegal Jin-hee’s opponent.
Naturally, I pictured Hong So-il being unilaterally beaten by Jegal Jin-hee.
‘… … Surely, that Volcano Sect disciple doesn’t have that kind of taste?’
Mujin suddenly had an unpleasant thought.
