<-- Episode 111: Chapter 4 Old dragons fall, young dragons dream of soaring (2) -->
It was commonly called Hangyucheondang (上有天堂) and Hayusohang (下有蘇杭).
As the saying goes, if there is heaven in the sky, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth, and it was selected as the most beautiful natural scenery and the best place to live in the Central Plains.
Food ingredients were plentiful as the sea was close, and gardens were developed so that there was no wealthy person in the central plains who did not have a manor in Suzhou or Hangzhou. People were drawn to the beautiful scenery and gathered, and as people gathered, wealth piled up.
The faces of people walking on the streets are shiny, and poets and calligraphers who know how to write claim to be guests of famous manors, leaving behind numerous inscriptions and famous paintings. Therefore, the people living in Suzhou had extraordinary pride.
Unjeongwon (雲政園) was a beautiful garden built on the West Lake of Suzhou. Inside the garden, water from the West Lake was brought in to create a large pond, a mountain, and a colorful pavilion. In the spring, Kihwayocho was in full bloom, and in fall, it was full of red leaves, creating a picturesque landscape.
The name of the pavilion is Unhyangak (雲香閣).
For the first time in months, people came into the place where people were usually strictly prohibited.
He was a very handsome man who appeared to be in his mid to late twenties. The lines of his face were unusually sharp and his skin was pale white, which may be why his red lips and sharp eyes stood out.
The man was admiring the scenery of the mountain and pond with his back turned with an indifferent expression. The man’s cold eyes were filled with the beautiful scenery of Mt. Gasan, but he himself seemed to be unimpressed.
He stared at Gasan for a long time without moving, as if he were a stone statue. A sense of intimidation was naturally radiating from his body, and it matched his arrogant expression very well.
At that time, a middle-aged man who appeared to be a servant came running under the pavilion at a slow pace. He lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“Prince Confucius, a guest has arrived.”
“Take it inside.”
“yes!”
The middle-aged man walked away, and after a while, I felt another presence. Only then did the man loosen his grip and look behind him.
A woman with a neat appearance like a water lily blooming at dawn was coming up to the pavilion. Her deep yet moist eyes were mysterious, as if they contained all the wisdom in the world.
A smile appeared on the man’s face as the woman appeared.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”
“I guess it’s only been two years, Prince Sim.”
The woman also smiled.
The man’s name is Sim Won-ui. He was a giraffe of this era with an incredible background as the lord of the Four Heavenly Heavens and a member of the Seven Heavenly Heavens.
The woman standing opposite Shim Won-ui was Seo Mun Hye-ryeong. She was also a member of the Seven Little Heavens and was a woman famous for having the greatest brain in the world.
“What about the others?”
“We’re almost there.”
“is it?”
Sim Won-ui shook his head.
Unjeongwon is a manor owned by Sasacheon and was mainly used by Sim Won-ui as a villa when he rested. He has never opened this place to anyone other than for personal use.
The very fact that he opened Unjeongwon meant that today was a very special day.
Changryonghoe (蒼龍會).
It was a meeting place for young warriors whom he and Seo Moon Hye-ryeong had recruited.
“Thousands?”
“They say the closing training isn’t over yet.”
“Are you still there?”
“I think I got a decisive lead. “They say they won’t come out until they get what they want.”
“I’m looking forward to that.”
No matter what anyone says, the center of Changnyonghoe was Damsucheon Stream.
There was only one man with such an enormous presence that he could unite the countless young warriors of the Changryonghoe with just his name alone. Sim Won-ui, who played a leading role in establishing the Changryonghoe, also found it impossible.
As the fresh water stream becomes stronger, Changryonghoe also becomes stronger. As the Changryonghoe became stronger, the probability of achieving Provincial Justice’s dream also increased, so they had no choice but to pay attention to Damsucheon’s power.
“He will definitely become scary strong. “His obsession with ultimate nothingness is truly terrifying.”
“It seems like what happened seven years ago had an influence.”
Seomun Hyeryeong smiled bitterly at Sim Won-ui’s words.
The humiliating flight from Bei Tian Gate seven years ago became an indelible shame for him. From then on, he became even more obsessed with martial arts training, and even Seomun Hyeryeong and Sim Won-ui, who were his closest associates, barely saw each other.
“It’s a good thing for us. “The stronger the owner, the greater the ambition of the members.”
“As expected, you speak as befits Prince Sim.”
“There are signs of upheaval in the world. “It’s only a slight change right now, but as time goes by, it will definitely work to our advantage.”
“You are talking about the appearance of Milya and the Okgye disaster. It is true that because of that, there is a greater possibility that our plans will be moved forward.”
“As expected, Seomun Sojeo was aware of it. Is it obvious? “Foreword, Soje is one of the most intelligent people in the world.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Seomun Hye-ryeong smiled deeply.
“Due to Milya’s reappearance, the world will fall into an abyss of chaos, and the ambitious people who have been holding their breath due to Unjungcheon’s strong control will begin to act one by one. “It is truly the era we wanted.”
“But a lot of people will die.”
“The sacrifice of a few for the greater good is inevitable. In that respect, I am grateful to those who sacrificed themselves in prison. “Because their sacrifice became the starting point of difficult times.”
Troubled times meant that the existing solid order collapsed and a new order emerged. It was the golden opportunity that Sim Won-ui and Changryonghoe had been waiting for so long.
“Have you heard any rumors about him?”
“that?”
“The man who put an end to the Okgye disaster. These days, it is called ‘Bukgeom’ by its nickname.”
“Ah, Bukgeom.”
Only then did Shim Won-ui pretend to know. In fact, he did not pay much attention to the nickname Bukgeom. Although the nickname is quite popular, rumors are always exaggerated.
Seomun Hyeryeong sighed softly at Sim Won-ui’s indifference. Shen Won-ui always tended to ignore people who did not meet her standards.
“His name is Jin Mu-won.”
“Jin Mu-won?”
“Is there anything that comes to mind?”
“well.”
I think I heard it somewhere, but I couldn’t remember it at all.
“Bei Tianmen seven years ago.”
“ah! “The name of Somunju of Bukcheonmun was Jin Mu-won.”
Only then did Shim Won-ui remember why the three names of Jin Mu-won remained in his memory.

“Then is the person named Bukgeom the Jinmuwon of Bukcheonmun?”
“According to information, it is the same person. “For some reason, it bothers me.”
“It’s a person with the same name… … . It’s something that can happen. But I don’t know why it bothers me. Wasn’t Jin Wuwon of the Northern Heavenly Gate already dead? Because of that, he also conducted a thorough investigation in Unjungcheon.”
Seven years ago, Unjungcheon was shaken up by an incident. For this reason, an unprecedented amount of manpower was mobilized to investigate, and as a result, it was concluded that Jin Mu-won, the last gate owner of Beukcheon Gate, was dead.
“That’s right, but… … .”
“Now is the time to focus on the future. “I don’t have time to worry about those ghosts of the past.”
Despite Sim Won-ui’s words, Seo Mun Hye-ryeong did not relax her stern expression. No, it couldn’t be done. Like a small thorn stuck under her fingernail, an ominous feeling was prickling her nerves.
‘Still, I have to check. Although Confucius ignores it, the weight of the name of the legitimate successor to the Northern Heavenly Gate is not that light.’
However, Seomun Hye-ryeong did not express her thoughts out loud. She knew very well now that such a story would not be heard by Shen Won-ui.
“The rest have arrived.”
At that time, the servant’s voice was heard. As soon as he finished speaking, about a dozen young warriors came up to the pavilion, shouting.
They were all radiating extraordinary prayers, and their restrained body movements and passionate eyes showed that their level was extraordinary.
“Prince Sim.”
“Seomun Sojeo, long time no see.”
They took over Sim Won-ui and Seo Mun Hye-ryeong.
Although the head of the Changryonghoe was Damsucheon, the actual work was handled by two people. Therefore, the attitude of the young warriors towards the two people was very extreme.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you. How are you?”
“haha! We have been waiting for the meeting to open for some time now. “I was so itchy that I got scolded.”
The name of the young warrior who jokes is Jwa Moon-ho. He was a long disciple of Samhwan Geomoon (三環劍門), a prestigious clan in the Shandong region.
Among those present, there was no one who was not a disciple of a prestigious school, and no one who had not been called a genius at least once. Maybe that’s why they all had confident smiles on their faces.
After briefly saying hello, they started talking.
The main topic of conversation was about the chuck horse corps that would soon be formed.
“There are only a very small number of warriors in the Chukma Corps, but they are given strong authority. In particular, the authority to convene and command the factions in the area where the conflict occurred, as well as the authority to inspect, can be said to be truly fascinating.”
Their status could be said to be unrivaled simply by being able to freely manipulate other factions anywhere in the river. If you use this authority well, you will be able to gain power that is enviable by the elders of the Old Daemun Sect.
Seomun Hyeryeong opened her mouth.
“This is a golden opportunity for Changnyonghoe to soar. “We must make the most of this opportunity.”
“Just pretend…” … . Old people have come up with all sorts of wonderful ideas. “I had no idea they would give away some of their power in this way.”
“It must mean that you are afraid of Milya. Or, it means that they will minimize their own bleeding and make the most of their young warriors. “There are few beings as easy to exploit as young warriors who are blinded by a sense of publicness.”
“To… … .”
“Still, we have no choice but to seize this opportunity. “If we miss this opportunity now, we never know when Changryonghoe will get another chance to soar.”
Everyone shook their heads at Seomun Hye-ryeong’s explanation.
“Sooner or later, we will pull out the chuck horse. Until then, be fully prepared and recruit anyone you can trust. “Especially those who are likely to be selected for the Chuck Horse Corps.”
“hmm!”
Seomun Hye-ryeong’s gaze turned to Shim Won-ui.
“Prince Shen, there is someone you need to meet in person and bring in.”
“I?”
In Sim Won-ui’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.
This means that if a person needs to be personally recruited, the person is that important.
“someone?”
“Ha Jin-wol, a three-brained scholar.”
“This is my first time hearing this name.”
“Since he is a person from Yunnan Province, Confucius Shen may not know. But he must be included.”
“Is there any reason why it has to be like that?”
“He is the only person in the world with a brain that can rival mine.”
In Sim Won-ui’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.
Although she appears extremely humble on the outside, she is actually more proud than anyone else. She had never once seen anyone evaluate her as equal.
“I was shocked when I met him five years ago. So she gave Simma.”
I met him at the 60th birthday party of Seokdae, a famous scholar. The two men, who happened to be present together, began to have a conversation, and developed a sharp conflict over topics ranging from astronomy and geography to extreme fighting, mercenary skills, and strategy.
From my perspective on people, to my philosophy, to my personality, nothing was right. However, we clearly recognized each other’s genius. In particular, the sense of crisis that Seomun Hye-ryeong felt was very serious. She thought that if she left Ha Jin-wol alone like this, she would threaten her position in a short period of time.
So, I showed Ha Jin-wol the family’s dedication. This is the Gujumanhyeongdaejin (九州萬形大陣), which contains hundreds of years of purification by Seomunse. The moment Ha Jin-wol saw Gujumanhyeongdaejin, which contained all the knowledge of geniuses produced by the Seomun family, he fell into deep sorrow.
“But if he’s really a genius, he might have overcome Simma by now.”
“Now that you say that, I want to meet you too. “What if we can’t accommodate it?”
“Then it must be removed. “Unless you want to pass on Yeouiju to any dragon other than the Changryonghoe.”
