How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 81
Chapter 18. Recruitment (1)
Tang Hua Ling suddenly became angry.
Something hurt my pride.
“No, didn’t you hate Lady Tang too?”
“Still, that kind of reaction is a bit much. What’s wrong with me!”
‘It’s unreasonable.’
Jegal Hyunmong was speechless and pouted.
Didn’t Dang Hwa-ryeong also come here to escape from marriage because he didn’t want to get married?
But if I keep talking, I’ll be the one who’ll be hurt.
“By the way, why did you suddenly bring that up?”
“It’s because you’re so good.”
Jegal Hyunmong tilted his head.
“Are you talking about the construction of an admiral’s battle? Since this is the first time you’ve seen the secrets of formation, you might think you’re doing it well, but it’s only basic.”
“No, Elder Danghwa and Brother Dangjunghyeok praised you greatly. They said that the speed at which you are learning the family’s vision is unparalleled.”
“… … Was what I was learning a vision?”
Jegal Hyunmong asked back in disbelief.
Why would you teach yourself such things!
“Yeah, does anything make sense?”
Suddenly, memories of the past flashed through my mind.
* * *
“What I’m going to teach you today is a memory technique called the Tangmunjeon. Look at this coin and predict what shape it will be thrown in.”
Jegal Xuanmong looked at the Tang Gate that Tang Hwajun had held out.
No matter how you looked at it, it was a coin that looked ordinary.
‘But that can’t be true.’
I wasn’t really hoping to get it right, but I couldn’t seem too stupid.
Zhuge Xuanmong shot out his magical powers and identified even the smallest details of the coin, then said:
“There’s a groove in the middle. There’s a stick that fits into this groove. If you swing it, it seems like it’ll shoot out while rotating along this groove.”
The Tang army was startled.
‘What the heck is this guy?’
The groove that Jegal Hyunmong spoke of was not something that could be seen very well. It was something that could be felt only by feeling with a sensitive hand, but he had hit it right away.
There was only one possible explanation as to how such a thing could be possible.
“You have a good eye for detail!”
“You are too kind.”
After learning about the structure of the secret weapon from Dang Hwa-gun, the next one was Dang Jung-hyeok.
It was my first time meeting Dang Jung-hyeok after all the chaos, but he was more calm than I thought.
“It’s been a long time, Prince Zhuge. I’m sorry for the inconvenience the other day… … .”
Rather, I should say that I am in a strangely dejected state.
Jegal Hyeonmong thought back to Danggon’s advice from earlier.
‘Junghyuk is a jealous and demanding child. He grew up always receiving praise. And he poured out that love on poison.’
The afterword was a bit strange, but wasn’t it Sacheondangga?
I was just going to draw it, but it was obvious that it would be a headache if I went through them one by one.
Anyway, Jegal Hyunmong made his decision.
‘First, increase your favorability rating.’
Like other Sacheondang people, it didn’t seem like it would be a good thing to incur a grudge against Danghwagun.
He was even more twisted than the other Sacheondang people, so it was not strange that he would try to attack me out of jealousy.
However, Dang Jung-hyuk did not intend to do so.
One day, Dang Jung-hyeok also heard the speech of Jegal Hyeonmong. And he was truly moved by it. So he felt very ashamed of his previous actions.
That was also the reason why my voice was creeping in.
“Dang Gongzi. Before that, I have a suggestion. Why don’t we exchange our knowledge instead of just learning by myself? In my opinion, I think Tang Gongzi has talent. A talent that can surpass me in an instant!”
“No, that kind of flattery… … ?!”
“I am not a father.”
Of course, if he did this and did not learn the magic, it would be putting the cart before the horse, but Jegal Xuanmong was confident.
The unique internal energy possessed by the Tang Dynasty warriors.
By periodically exposing the internal energy to poison, it becomes accustomed to it, and when releasing the internal energy, it is conveyed with an intention through a ritual.
In a way, it is similar to the contract between Jegal Hyunmong and Chosun. I thought it would be possible since it is not that different in the big picture.
From then on, things were smooth sailing.
At first, Dang Jung-hyeok seemed dispirited and lacking in confidence, but after he succeeded in controlling the poison as Zhuge Xuanmong had said, he was overjoyed.
For Zhuge Xuanmong, it was like climbing a big mountain, and from then on, everything went according to Zhuge Xuanmong’s plan.
“Truly, Zhuge Liang’s talent is outstanding! I have never seen anyone learn Hondok so quickly.”
“Except for Prince Tang. But I was surprised too. I thought it was only theoretically possible, but you have mastered my magic so quickly. Prince Tang is definitely the most talented of the Sichuan Tang families!”
“Hahahaha!”
“Hahahaha!”

After finishing his reminiscence, Jegal Hyunmong said.
“there is…….”
“Yeah. You were wrong, weren’t you?”
“No, but what if I teach you?”

“Usually, you can’t learn it the way you’re taught… … .”
Dang Hwa-ryeong was so dumbfounded that he answered like that.
As we walked and talked like that, we soon arrived at our destination.
“Okay, here you go. If you go out through this side door, you can get out.”
“Are you sure you won’t get caught in the crossfire?”
“What do you think of our house, Chusaldae? … My sister, uncle, and I will explain everything to you, so don’t worry and go back. I have already arranged for someone to take you out.”
“You are meticulous.”
“That’s right. If there’s even the slightest sloppiness, we’ll have to get married.”
Dang Hwa-ryeong smiled brightly as he said that.
“Anyway, take care. I won’t be able to see you for a while once I leave, but I’ll still stop by every now and then when I think of you.”
“I see. Thank you for everything… … .”
Many calculations ran through Jegal Hyunmong’s head as he was about to express his thanks.
“I did it, Madam Dang.”
“What were you thinking just now?”
“I was thinking back on the favor I received from Lady Dang.”
Jegal Hyunmong spoke shamelessly without changing his expression, and then opened the side door.
“Then I will go. Please give my regards to the others, and I hope you stay healthy.”
“Okay. Go.”
Jegal Hyunmong put his hands together, bowed, and went out.
As they gradually moved away, Danggon appeared.
“He’s gone. Are you okay?”
“What is it?”
“No, but I thought we had quite a bit of interest in each other… … .”
“Oh, and don’t say things like that to your uncle. It’s not cool.”
Dang Hwa-ryeong looked at the side door through which Jegal Hyeon-mong had exited and smiled.
“I just didn’t want to be pushed around like this.”
* * *
‘The air is hot.’
Jegal Hyunmong took a deep breath.
The air of the escape was very clear and refreshing. Perhaps it was even more so because of the cool air in the middle of the night.
‘You said that if you walk a little along the road, an assistant will appear.’
Sure enough, after walking a little further, a carriage came into view.
A man was leaning against the carriage, and when he saw Zhuge Xuanmong, he raised his hand.
“Open, Waryong.”
“Isn’t that stupid?”
The person who came to greet him was none other than Mansu.
“Yes. I came after receiving a call from Lady Dang. I heard that something serious happened at the Dang family?”
Jegal Hyeonmong felt uneasy.
“Are there any rumors going around?”
“Oh, I heard that Muhou Jaerim entered the Sacheondangga and threw down the gauntlet. Saying that he would defeat Manoe?”
“no……!”
Of course, he had mentioned Manoe that day. But that was never to the extent that he intended to defeat Manoe.
It seems like Marno is doing this and that, so Sacheondangga, please do it. If there’s anything you need in the process, I’ll help you.
They are similar words, but aren’t they clearly different?
“So that’s what the rumor is about. Maybe it’s reached Manoe’s ears by now?”
“I guess I have to be careful.”
“Then why did you bring up the brain?”
“I had no choice.”
Zhuge Xuanmong sighed and said.
If I hadn’t said something like that, there was no way it would end safely…
Deep down, I didn’t like it.
‘Anyway, I guess I should be a bit more prepared.’
Whether we like it or not, now that we’ve brought up the topic of brainwashing, it’s not surprising that something will happen again.
Soon, Mansu put Jegal Hyunmong in his carriage and set off.
“By the way, how have you been?”
“I think it’s safe to say that it’s almost over.”
After the Gwigokjangwon incident.
Mansu, who had established a more solid position, succeeded in almost securing the position of the next branch manager of Haomen.
Of course, competitors don’t sit still either, so they’ve been trying various tricks…
“But if nothing else comes up, the next branch manager position is almost certain. They’re probably feeling a sense of crisis too. Well, they’re not the type of people who would just step down, so they’re probably looking for some way to revive the company.”
“Are you talking about something like assassination?”
“… … Don’t say unpleasant things.”
Mansu frowned.
“Of course there are times when we actually fight, but we don’t use petty methods like assassination. Haomen isn’t some secret moon.”
“Bimonth?”
“There is such a place. A group of assassins who specialize in assassination.”
‘There are places like that.’
Even if you have nothing to do, there is a limit to how much you can do. Are you saying that you are a professional assassin?
“Anyway! It seems like they’re looking for the secret vault these days.”
“Are you talking about the remarks?”
“Yes, do you know the person called Cheon Gi-ja?”
This is my first time hearing this.
But for some reason, the name didn’t sound very favorable to Jegal Hyunmong.
Once I got used to the name Gwigokja, I couldn’t feel good about names that ended with something.
“Who is that? Could it be… ?”
“Ah, about a hundred years ago? He was a martial arts genius active in the previous martial arts world.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“what?”
Jegal Hyunmong answered with a smile.
“Nothing. More importantly, what kind of person were you?”
“Well, as the name suggests, he was a fortune teller who could read the weather.”
“What a suspicious person.”
“I don’t think that’s something you should be saying. Anyway, it seems like he was quite famous back then. Even Murim Myeongsuk came from far away to have his fortune told. For example, the most popular one was Giyeonjeom.”
“A coincidence?”
“Yes. I told a young master who wanted to become a master that if he returned to his hometown, he would receive a chance. After hearing that, the young man returned to his hometown, fell off a cliff, and… … became a master.”
‘It seems like there’s something strange in the middle.’
Zhuge Xuanmong thought so, but said nothing more.
It had been a long time since many expectations regarding the world of martial arts had been dashed.
If you fall off a cliff, you might become a master!
“Anyway, are you saying that Cheon Gi-ja’s notes from over a hundred years ago were discovered?”
Mansu shook his head.
“No, what was discovered was not Cheon Gi-ja’s note, but Jang Bo-do.”
Mansu smiled and said.
“There are thousands of Jangbodo maps.”
