How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 78
Chapter 17 Sacheondangga (10)
There is only one ‘self-will’ that Jegal Hyunmong knows.
Zhuge Liang’s.
It was my father’s name.
But why did it come from an Amipa nun?
“My father’s son-in-law is willing… … ?”
“As expected! I knew it. You look a lot like him!”
An unexpectedly favorable response.
However, Jegal Hyunmong was wary. If it was a problem involving his father and not someone else, then it was right to do so.
My father wasn’t a womanizer, but strange things had happened to him on several occasions.
It was an unforgettable experience when a completely unfamiliar person came and asked, “Why don’t you call me Mom?”
“Do you have any relationship with my father… … .”
“ah.”
Jeong Hye-sa-tae coughed in vain, realizing how she would be perceived by that question.
“It’s not a special relationship. It’s just that when Binnie was traveling around the world, not knowing much about the world, I happened to receive help.”
Everyone there had the same thought at the vague tone of voice.
‘Something happened.’
Originally, Jeong Hye-sa-tae was a lay disciple of the Amipa, not a disciple of the main temple. However, the story of how one day he suddenly became a disciple of the main temple was a well-known story to those who knew him.
Of course, Jegal Hyunmong didn’t know.
‘Anyway, that’s fortunate. At least it doesn’t seem like a bad relationship.’
Even though I was already hurt inside because the nuns of the Amipa would make a fuss as if they had encountered a snake whenever they saw me, I felt a little comforted when I received a friendly look for the first time.
“You said you were Jegal Hyeonmong? Can I talk to Binni a little later?”
“How could I refuse? I will gladly accept.”
The conversation ended in such a friendly atmosphere.
Jegal Hyunmong turned his gaze towards the stage.
‘Is that person the current head of the Sacheon Dang family, Dang Jin-cheon?’
He was a middle-aged man who seemed to be standing with his head held high just by looking at him.
In contrast to her elegant attire, her sharp, sharp teeth and cold eyes were very impressive.
‘You are the strongest person I’ve ever met.’
They say the world is vast and experts are as numerous as grains of sand.
And among them, it is said that the masters who can truly be considered the best in the world have reached a level that has surpassed the peak, and Dang Jin-cheon is probably one of them.
That person was looking at himself with sharp eyes.
Jegal Hyunmong thought again that it was fortunate that he had cast a spell on himself in advance.
“Nice to meet you. As the head of the household, I apologize for inviting you and greeting you so late. I am Dang Jin-cheon, the head of the Sacheon Dang household.”
“It is an honor to meet the Lord of Sacheondang, who is renowned in the martial arts world.”
“I have heard that Master Zhuge Liang’s talent and wisdom are so outstanding that he can see a thousand miles from where he sits. So, may I ask, do you have any idea why you have been summoned to this place?”
‘It was out of the blue from the start.’
It seemed that Dang Jin-cheon hated empty formalities.
Jegal Hyunmong nodded and said.
“You must be curious about my intentions.”
It’s simple logic.
The people of Gangho were more interested in him than he thought and wanted to know more about him.
For example, the reason why Jegal Hyunmong suddenly appeared.
‘There’s no particular reason, but if you say, ‘It just happened that way,’ you’ll get beaten up and kicked out.’
“That’s right. Of all of them, what I’m most curious about is the teacher’s movements.”
Now that the topic has come up, Dang Jin-cheon resolved the questions he had been wondering about.
“I heard that your ability is not something that can be easily found. But why did you not show it until now and why did you start to act now? You wouldn’t have created a place like the Nokrim Road Alliance without any intention.”
Tang Jin-cheon judged that Jegal Hyeon-mong was a person with some kind of ambition.
If you hadn’t planned everything out in advance, you wouldn’t be taking such drastic actions as you are now.
‘I wonder what kind of ambitions you have.’
There are many different types of ambition.
Some things conflict with each other, but some things can coexist.
Dang Jin-cheon was very curious about Jegal Hyeon-mong’s ambition.
It could also be done with Sacheondangga.
“Also, if you are truly a descendant of the Zhuge family, the last of the Suljong clan, then what you hold must be a secret vision that you will never leave the family. Why are you revealing it to others so openly?”
Strictly speaking, it was the Sacheondangga that benefited the most from Jegal Hyunmong, but it was a sharp question that seemed to pay no attention to that at all.
Dang-gon, who was watching Jegal Hyeon-mong, felt a chill run down his spine without realizing it.
‘You’re being a little harsh, brother.’
Dang Jin-cheon’s words are sharp and lack warmth.
Of course, when such words pour out, most people will feel intimidated.
Moreover, considering the weight that comes with the title of Sacheon Danggaju and the location of the meeting, it is literally bound to be harsh.
In that situation, Jegal Hyunmong… … .
‘Are you laughing?’
Jegal Hyunmong had a smile on his face.
It wasn’t a forced smile.
A smile that truly comes from the heart.
It had to be that way.

‘It didn’t deviate from the expected questions.’
It was a smile that came from a sense of relief that I hadn’t strayed from what I had studied in advance.
Soon, Jegal Hyunmong opened his mouth.
“I originally lived in the mountains and fields as a lowly person, only looking after my own future, without any intention of pursuing personal glory.”
At Zhuge Xuanmong’s words, a kind of thrill ran through people’s hearts.
There was no one who did not know which passage Zhuge Xuanmong had quoted in that moment.
‘Isn’t this a resignation letter!’
It wasn’t just a thoughtless quote from the resignation letter.
Zhuge Xuanmong knew well the feelings that the people of Sichuan had toward Empress Wu.
It was a weapon that was definitely worth using.
“In reality, the life I wanted was to live a leisurely life, singing songs of consolation, just like my ancestors had hoped. I had no intention of needlessly revealing or exploiting the power of the suljong.”
It wasn’t a lie.
He didn’t even know he was an alcoholic, so he wouldn’t have thought of revealing it.
“I got a job at Daeryongpyo-guk just to make a living, and I showed off my small talents to meet thieves and survive. I didn’t think much of it at the time. But then I met Ma Daehyeop of Cheolhwabang.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
“The Great Swordsman of Majinkwang is a man of great ambition, and he had subdued bandits and made them his subordinates before meeting me. Thanks to this, the bandits were no longer able to commit evil deeds under the control of the Great Swordsman of Majinkwang. The fact that he met me also happened while he was chasing after the bandits to punish them.”
Although many things were omitted, it was not entirely wrong.
‘It seems like it’s working out well.’
A strange light flashed in people’s eyes.
After hearing Zhuge Xuanmong’s words, he must have been reconsidering his perception of Ma Jin-gwang.
“After that, I talked with Ma Daehyeop, and in order to realize his intentions, I formed this kind of alliance. It doesn’t really matter whether the original nature of those who were bandits was good or evil. In any case, if they were a problem, I thought it would be good to unite them through some kind of laws and system. If they follow the laws and system and pave the way in the rough terrain of Sichuan, that would be good, and if they can’t abandon their nature, then they can be punished according to the laws and system and that’s it. It’s much better than having bandits swarming all over Sichuan.”
“!”
People clapped their knees in admiration at Zhuge Xuanmong’s words.
Even the Hyun Geon Dojang was the same.
‘That makes sense!’
“That is why Lord Ma created the Nokrim Road Alliance. What I have done there is only a little bit.”
“Huh! That’s nonsense. They’re just a bunch of bandits! What if they change their minds right away? The more they gather together, the more obvious the disaster will be!”
Jegal Hyunmong’s eyes lit up.
It was a question I had been waiting for.
“Yes. That’s why Ma Daehyeop sacrificed himself to watch over them. Even if the bandits make seven wrong decisions, he will correct them seven times!”
‘Chiljongchilgeum!’
There is no one living in Sacheon who does not know that story.
The anecdote that Zhuge Liang released Meng Huo seven times and captured him seven times, ultimately subjugating the Nanman!
It’s not for nothing that writers bring up old stories when they talk.
If you replace Zhuge Liang with Zhuge Liang and the bandit with Meng Huo, isn’t it easier to understand?
‘That’s what it was!’
People were secretly amazed by Zhuge Xuanmong’s words.
The powerful villain, no, the Green Forest King Majin Gwang.
Who would have thought that he, who was known to be stubborn and self-willed, would harbor such a great cause!
‘That guy, Margin Gwang, isn’t the kind of guy who would do something like that.’
Of course, there were people who were not fooled like Dang Hwa-gun. In reality, most of those who experienced Margin Gwang were like that.
But the current Jegal Hyunmong had the power to make even the Tang dynasty tilt its head and ask, ‘Is that really true?’
“Then, why did Zhuge Liang reveal the knowledge he possessed? Isn’t it to cause chaos in the world with his brute strength?”
The person who asked the question was none other than Jeong Hye-sa-tae.
It was a sharp question, but Jegal Hyunmong was grateful. It was a question he had been hoping would come up right now.
“While helping out with the work of the Nokrim Road Alliance, I came to realize something. The world is vast, and there are many things I don’t know. One of them is the tribe called Mines.”
Galsa-ryang used his poisonous mosquitoes to subdue the bandits and ate their entrails to increase his magical power.
“The Mines use magic that is different from martial arts, and they have been using it to create chaos in the world. And they have been doing so for a long time.”
“What on earth… are you talking about?”
“Do you know about the Golden Top?”
Most of the people here are natives of Sacheon.
There was no one who did not know about the Golden Top.
“The collapse of the Golden Shard was not actually due to the tyranny of the upper class, but rather because a sorcerer used sorcery to control minds.”
“Witchcraft? And what does that sorcerer have to do with Mine?”
The work at Gukgokjangwon is finished.
Jegal Hyeonmong naturally set out to investigate Guigokjangwon.
The person who revealed himself as Jang Jun-il was not a mine, but he was a disciple who became a mine.
“He called himself a disciple of the Devil’s Brain.”
“Oh, my goodness!”
Even Dang Jin-cheon couldn’t help but waver in his eyes at this name.
Oh, my.
As Cheon Yeo-hyang mentioned earlier, there was a powerful demon running rampant in the martial arts world that was known but could not be touched.
One of them was the five great giants, Manoe.
Jang Jun-il wrote everything down in his diary.
How the Manoeuvres approached the Golden Shards in the past, possessed them, and what they did.
The ears of those who were initially filled with disbelief at such anecdotes gradually perked up.
As I listened, it started to sound more and more plausible, and of course, any hidden story is bound to be interesting.
“I thought to myself while reading the disciple’s notes. The reason the Golden Shangdan was so helpless was not only because the man named Manoe was evil, but also because the Golden Shangdan had no idea about the existence of magic.”
“… … .”
“It’s been decades already. I don’t know how much more has happened in the meantime. And I don’t know what else I might do in the future. But if I reveal myself and my limited knowledge spreads and people learn about this, it’ll be different.”
The room became quiet.
Some of them felt a thrill.
According to what Jegal Hyunmong said, revealing oneself could be life-threatening.
However, I couldn’t help but be impressed by his chivalry, as he didn’t seem to be afraid of it at all.
‘So that’s why.’
A secret technique that allows you to control it from a distance by engraving a diagram on it.
Tang Hwa-gun honestly felt suspicious of Jegal Hyeon-mong, who seemed to be indifferent even after teaching him such things.
Because I felt like it might be a trap.
But after hearing Zhuge Xuanmong’s words, he was so ashamed of himself that he could not raise his head.
‘The sparrow did not understand the phoenix’s intentions.’
It was the same with others.
Although Jegal Hyunmong never spoke forcefully and only spoke calmly, his words were appealing and touched the heart.
‘fu*k, fu*k. It’s all a lie… …! But what is this trembling in my chest?’
Even Sangdanju, who had ill feelings toward Jegal Hyunmong, clenched his fist!
But Jegal Hyunmong had no time to consider such a reaction.
I was sweating from the tension.
‘I guess I need to finish something.’
Sweat began to form on his head, so Jegal Xuanmong spread out his black feather fan and waved it lightly to collect his thoughts.
‘Originally, the Sacheondang family would have wanted to strike down the Nokrim Road Alliance.’
In Jegal Xuanmong’s eyes, the leader of the Sacheon martial arts world was none other than Sacheon Dangga.
And in order to solidify such a position, a position that could constantly unite the Sacheon martial arts world was needed.
That is a battle of ranks, and furthermore, a subjugation of the Nokrim Road Alliance.
That is, a situation created by an external force for cohesion.
Then why don’t we just create another enemy?
“That man named Manoe must be targeting Sacheon. It must be a grand plan that he has been preparing for decades, and the incident at Gwigokjangwon the other day must have been part of that plan. How could I sing in a prison when Sacheon’s peace is at stake? I just did what I could.”
Chook.
Jegal Xuanmong folded his black feather fan again and bowed with his hands together.
“That’s why I came out into the world.”
The room became quiet.
In that silence, Dang-gon thought to himself.
‘You punk, I don’t know anymore.’
Jegal Hyunmong was digging a grave with his own hands and crawling inside.
