How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 19
Chapter 5. Example of the Three Visits (3)
Zhuge Xuanmong succeeded in solving the secret of the incense burner.
The method of using the incense burner was to imitate the movements of the heavens.
Magical power is sucked into the incense burner, condensed, and the flow spreads around like incense, implementing the movement of heavenly energy.
And if the incense burner embodies the movement of the heavens.
Of course, fragrance is like a star in the sky.
‘good.’
Of course, knowing that doesn’t make the rest of the work any easier.
The incense had to be placed in the correct spot and at the right depth, and depending on the location, it was necessary to vary the thickness of the incense to increase its firepower.
In addition, there was the difficulty of having to exhaust magical power to operate the incense burner.
But Jegal Hyeonmong eventually succeeded.
There were seven sticks of incense in the censer.
That is, the Big Dipper.
Cheonchu, Cheonseon, Cheongi, Cheonwon, Okhyung, Gaeyang, Yogwang.
It was the moment when the seven constellations were placed in their proper positions.
“Hmm!?”
Jegal Hyunmong’s magical power was sucked away for a moment, and the incense burner that had absorbed the magical power began to emit an auspicious energy.
It was as if the previous magical power had been of a colorless and transparent nature, but this time it began to scatter a blue, clear, and dense energy around it.
‘Ah, this is. It’s for improving the surrounding environment.’
As soon as he felt that energy, Jegal Hyunmong immediately understood.
The world Allen saw in his dream was extremely rich in magic.
Even if the same magic was used, it was more effective and consumed less.
But the magic power of the Central Plains was inferior to that.
It’s not that there isn’t any magic to the point where it can’t be implemented, it’s just that Allen’s world is overly rich in magic.
‘where.’
Jegal Hyunmong created a small magic bullet on top of his magic wand and lightly swung it to shoot the magic bullet.
Bam!
The magic bullet flew with a feeling like lightning, hit the wall, and disappeared after cutting through the wall by about half a finger joint.
If the incense burner had not been turned on, only a scratch would have remained.
Perhaps in this environment, we could conduct much more in-depth magical research than before.
Also, perhaps the magic that can be implemented without two rings might increase… … .
At that moment, a thought suddenly crossed Jegal Hyunmong’s mind.
‘Wait, so the power of magic has been strengthened?’
Jegal Hyunmong opened the door with an ominous feeling and looked around.
And I was speechless.
Mirijin was running wild.
Because it was surrounded by thick fog, covering the surrounding area.
“… … Phew.”
It was fortunate that there were no people coming and going because it was late at night, but it seemed like it would take a long time to fix the jin.
Fortunately, the solution itself didn’t take too long.
It may have gone a bit wild, but it’s something that can be resolved with some time and some adjustments.
‘If nothing comes up, it should only take a day.’
Surely nothing much happened in the meantime?
Jegal Hyunmong thought with ease.
* * *
The next day.
Zhuge Jun came down with a somewhat listless expression.
After seeing that, the followers showed interest in Jegal Jun.
“Jun. You look tired today. Did you not resolve what happened yesterday?”
When Peng-ak asked, who was eating with a huge sword leaning on the table, Zhuge Jun nodded weakly.
“We couldn’t meet.”
“You couldn’t meet me? Are you away?”
Zhuge Jun shook his head.
“No, I didn’t leave. It’s just that I couldn’t meet him because my abilities were lacking. I failed to solve his difficult problem.”
People’s attention was instantly drawn to those words.
‘Difficult problem? Jegal Jun? Failed?’
Zhuge Jun is famous among the later scholars.
What he was most famous for was that he never let anything go that he couldn’t solve.
That personality that makes you worry like crazy and stay up all night trying to solve a problem.
Only then did Peng-ak realize why Zhuge Jun was staggering a little as he came out.
I didn’t sleep properly last night.
“Are you okay? Go eat something.”
“No, I’m fine. I just don’t have an appetite.”
“… … It’s serious.”
Even Samarin, who did not like the Zhuge family very much, said so.
If Zhuge Jun did that even once a year, it would be a lot.
“What kind of difficult problem is this?”

“… … .”
Zhuge Jun did not answer that.
It’s not that I didn’t hear it, it’s that I completely ignored it.
This was also one of Zhuge Jun’s bad habits.
He couldn’t tolerate anyone else trying to solve the difficult problem he was struggling with.
‘If it weren’t for this, he would be a really honest and good guy.’
As Peng-ak thought about that, he suddenly became curious.
It’s nice to come to Sacheon for the gathering of the later index members, but it’s also true that there’s nothing much to do except talk about things that have piled up.
And it wasn’t just Peng’ak’s idea.
“Seeing Zhuge Liang being so troubled, I too am curious.”
Samarin was smiling before he knew it.
“Okay, everyone. What do you think? Let’s all try this difficult puzzle or something. I’ll give a reward to the person who solves the most difficult puzzle. I happened to bring some Cheongnyeonghwan with me this time.”
“Miss Sima, are you talking about the Qingling Ring?”
At those words, even people who weren’t interested became interested.
Of course, Sima Sega’s Qingling Pill is not a legendary elixir that explosively increases internal energy. It is not the Shaolin’s Great Pill that is now out of print.
However, the Sima family had a lot of money, and above all, they were famous throughout the martial arts world as doctors.
The Hwandan they made for health is said to be made of various rare medicinal herbs and is known to have the effect of making the body healthier and clearing the mind.
“Yes, that’s right. I… …knock knock, knock.”
As Samarin, who was continuing his speech, suddenly started coughing, the bodyguard Seo Lianhua, who had been waiting like a shadow, quickly supported Samarin.
“miss.”
“Oh, it’s okay. I’m sorry. As you can see, I’m not feeling well.”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better for Lady Sima to take it?”
“It doesn’t really work for me.”
Samarin smiled bitterly.
Although he was smiling as he spoke, Samarin was secretly disgusted with his own constitution.
“Anyway, I think it will be helpful to others. What do you think?”
“If that’s the case… … .”
Among the latter indices, a few showed some interesting signs.
“But what happens if no one can solve it?”
“That won’t happen. Zhuge Liang is here, and I can join tomorrow. The dragons and phoenixes have gathered, so how could they not solve it? But, that’s true. If no one can solve it by tomorrow… … .”
Samarin smiled.
“I acknowledge that the rumors about that person called Muhujaerim are true, and I will give him the Cheongnyeongwan.”
Samarin’s words were enough to light a fire in the hearts of the later exponents.
This meeting is a place for Sega’s later indices to get together and get to know each other better.
And although we are close enough to each other, it would be a lie to say that we are not also competitive with each other.
As the later indexes rose up in excitement, Peng Yue looked at Zhuge Jun.
“Aren’t you going to wake up?”
“It’s okay. There’s no way a problem I couldn’t solve could be solved that easily.”
‘He’s my close friend, but he’s really unlucky.’
Peng-ak thought about this and got up from his seat.
It was because he didn’t think Zhuge Jun would allow him to go anyway, and he was also a little interested.
* * *
“You bastard.”
slap!
“It hurts, Mrs. Jeong.”
“I don’t know what it is, but is this you?”
“You misunderstand. How could a mere scholar like me have such abilities?”
Jegal Hyunmong did his best to make excuses.
His own face was strangely enough to inspire confidence in others. When he spoke without showing his face, most people believed him.
“What kind of misunderstanding is this? Your father was like that too. He did something strange and then got into trouble, and then he just pretended not to know and pretended not to know.”
Of course, this did not work on Mrs. Jeong, who was her father’s childhood friend.
‘Father, what on earth have you done!’
Zhuge Xuanmong lamented.
It was so unfair that the karma my father had accumulated was coming back to me. If it weren’t for my father’s karma, I could have easily fooled Aunt Jeong.
“That’s because you’re not married yet. Now that we’re on the subject, I have a nice wife. How do you like her? She said she likes you quite a bit.”
“Anyway, doesn’t Mrs. Jeong say that all the women like me?”
Mrs. Jeong was dumbfounded.
“I’m saying this because it’s true. Why would I say something that isn’t true?”
“I don’t believe it. My father also taught me to only listen to half of what Mrs. Jeong says.”
Mrs. Jeong’s clothes looked like they were going to burst.
‘How can rich people dress so well in pairs?’
Could it be that the heavens sent a rich man down to blow up his clothes?
Mrs. Jeong suddenly had that thought.
But I couldn’t express my anger any further than that.
In the meantime, I arrived at my house.
“Well, we’ve arrived. Don’t get lost now, Mrs. Jeong. How could you get lost in your own neighborhood?”
She didn’t open her mouth.
In any case, it was her fault, and fortunately, she knew a better solution.
Crack!
When he personally carved the kidney on Jegal Hyunmong’s back, Jegal Hyunmong immediately became quiet.
Jegal Hyunmong sighed after seeing off Aunt Jeong like that.
‘Is it all over now?’
Fortunately, not many people were caught up in the runaway Mirijin.
Even if they got involved, there were people who just wandered around a bit more than usual and returned home safely.
Probably, once you learn the path, you will never get lost again.
‘But just in case, let’s take a look.’
I thought about it, but I doubt that would happen.
What kind of business would there be for people to come to such a small town?
And then Jegal Hyunmong met him.
A woman who would never come to a town like this.
“… … .”
Zhuge Jun was a native of Sichuan, so although it was the first time I had seen him, I recognized his identity.
Because he was wearing a green robe with a pattern that only the direct descendants of the Sacheondang family could wear.
And as soon as she met him, she was looking at him with an intense gaze.
Jegal Hyunmong took a step to the side.
The woman shifted her gaze.
I took another step.
Moved again.
‘Now all I have to do is turn into the alley.’
Zhuge Xuanmong thought so, but the woman was faster than him.
“for a moment.”
“… … What’s going on?”
“Are you from this neighborhood?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Then, do you know where the person called Muhujaerim is?”
It was the first time I heard that nickname.
But Zhuge Xuanmong was not a fool, so he immediately realized who the nickname meant.
‘What a huge nuisance… …!’
He was gossiping about me behind my back and then suddenly gave me that nickname.
Although such a thought crossed his mind for a moment, Jegal Hyunmong showed no sign of it.
“So-saeng, this is the first time I’ve heard of this name.”
Of course I didn’t lie.
It’s true that it was the first time I heard that nickname.
