<-- Episode 89: Chapter 5 Strange and evil events come one after another (1) -->
Jin Mu-won and Kwak Mun-jeong woke up early in the morning. After eating a simple meal, they left the Taiping Guesthouse. There wasn’t a single person passing by on the street, as if it hadn’t woken up yet.
“let’s go. If you walk diligently, you will be able to reach Okgye by tomorrow evening.”
“yes!”
When I came to Kunming, I was able to come comfortably thanks to the White Dragon Merchants, but from now on, I had to work diligently on my own two legs. It would have been nice to be able to buy a horse, but there was no way the horse market would be open at this time, and above all, neither of them were well off to buy a horse.
The good news is that the path to the prison world is fairly well-established. Otherwise, the two beginners would have had a hard time finding their way.
Kwak Mun-jeong muttered as he looked at the scene of dawn.
“This is such an amazing place. “It was so humid and hot when I entered Yunnan, but when I arrived in Kunming, it was cool again.”
“That’s right. “I guess because it’s on a plateau, the temperature is lower than other places.”
Jin Mu-won also gave the same answer, but thought the harmony of nature was amazing. The owner of Taiping Guesthouse said that dozens of minority tribes live scattered around Kunming. This means that it is a good environment for people to live in.
Jin Mu-won agreed with the owner. Everything was abundant here. The north where he lived was so barren, but this place was overflowing with everything.
Thanks to the mild climate all year round, double cropping was possible, and unknown fruits abounded throughout the forest. If you move just a little bit, there is always something to eat.
‘The land has been blessed by God, but the people who live here are not.’
Since everything was plentiful, the natives did not seem to be very greedy. Most of those who were greedy were people who immigrated from the central plains or were warriors who had learned martial arts.
The problem was that their power exceeded that of the natives. So, the reality in Yunnan was that the natives lived rather difficult lives.
Jin Mu-won did not know which was better: the harsh life in the North or the abundant life in Yunnan. Still, he felt that his life did not fit here.
At that time, Kwak Mun-jeong broke out of his thoughts.
“What are you thinking like that?”
“Just this and that… … .”
“It looks like you’re thinking a lot, too.”
“Are you like that too?”
“Yes, I just have a lot of random thoughts in my mind. To be honest, I’m anxious… … .”
I followed Jin Mu-won out of curiosity, but he was still only a thirteen-year-old boy. He couldn’t help but feel even more anxious because he didn’t know what kind of situation would await him on his way.
Jin Mu-won fully understood Kwak Mun-jeong’s feelings. Because he was like that too. I was still as anxious as ever. When he came out into the world, something big happened as if he had promised, and he repeatedly encountered powerful warriors.
As fate and bad relationships become complicated, he can no longer be as free as he used to be. He also keenly feels the fact that Kang-ho’s relationship will never be diluted.
“I’m anxious too.”
“really? “Brother?”
“I am also human. How can you not feel anxious? But now we can’t go back, can we? There is no longer any ground for me to retreat to. So we have no choice but to move forward.”
“brother?”
“He who is satisfied that he has a place to retreat is bound to hesitate in the face of small danger. Such people can never defeat those who live each day with a desperate heart. “I believe so.”
Hearing Jin Mu-won’s words, Kwak Mun-jeong bit his lip.
I never thought that Jin Mu-won, who seems infinitely strong, would live with such a mindset. I thought that maybe living with that kind of mindset could help me become that strong.
‘I will live like my brother too. Every day with a desperate heart… … .’
When I thought about it that way, I started to like Jinmuwon even more.
At first, I liked him because I thought he was Hwang Cheol’s nephew, but the more I got to know him, the more I fell in love with his human charm. Jin Mu-won was a person you could rely on and trust.
“lol!”
“Why are you doing that?”
“it’s nothing. lol! “Let’s go quickly.”
“okay.”
Jin Mu-won nodded and matched his stride with Kwak Mun-jeong.
The journey to Okgye was smooth. She didn’t have to worry about getting lost because the path was well-maintained, and the weather wasn’t too hot, so walking wasn’t a problem. However, because she was far from Okgye, she had to live homeless in the middle.
Just before the sun set, the two decided to sleep out in an empty lot not far from Gwando. The reason was that the bottom was flat and there was a small stream flowing nearby, making it easy to obtain drinking water.
Jin Mu-won brought wood, and Kwak Mun-jeong brought drinking water. Both of them were accustomed to this kind of homelessness, so they were ready to do so in an instant.
I soaked the dry food I had prepared and had a quick meal. Kwak Mun-jeong, who finished his meal one step ahead of Jin Mu-won, began to practice with a red sword.
Swish!
Now, he seems to have gained a lot of strength, and he looks quite skillful in swinging the sword. It was truly a huge development. Kwak Mun-jeong was growing steadily, albeit little by little.
Jin Mu-won got up, thinking it was time. In his hand was a tree branch.
Kwak Mun-jeong looked at Jin Mu-won with a puzzled expression.
“brother?”
“Go for it.”
Kwak Mun-jeong, who blinked for a moment without knowing the meaning, bit his lip hard.
‘at las… … .’
It was the moment I had been looking forward to so much.
Jin Mu-won has occasionally given advice, but he has not given direct instruction. However, Kwak Mun-jeong did not dare to ask him for instruction. That’s because the gap was so huge.
Kwak Mun-jeong gave strength to the hand holding Jeok-ah. His heart was pounding and the blood throughout his body was rushing.
At that moment, Jin Mu-won’s voice was heard.
“Be cool. “What are you trying to do with your excitement already?”
“ancient!”
“Go for it.”
“yes!”
With a powerful answer, Kwak Mun-jeong rushed towards Jin Mu-won.
Sigh!
The enemy flew towards Jin Mu-won with fierce force. Jin Mu-won took a step and dodged slightly, touching Kwak Mun-jeong’s elbow with a tree branch.
“When swinging a sword, you have to straighten your elbows a little more. Only then will the sword attack become more powerful.”
“Tsk! ancient!”
As Jin Mu-won said, Kwak Mun-jeong rushed forward, bending his elbows a little more. This time, Jin Mu-won’s branch lightly hit his shoulder.
Pow!
“It’s too rigid. “So the body’s response is too slow.”

“yes!”
“Your eyes should always be level.”
“ancient!”
“The soles of your feet must hold onto the earth.”
“Tsk!”
“Breathing should always be drawn from the lower abdomen.”
“Ugh!”
Every time Jin Mu-won said a word, Kwak Mun-jeong had to scream. This is because he hit the weak points with his teachings.
Even though it seemed like a light hit, the impact made Kwak Mun-jeong’s insides tremble. Although it was difficult to even move due to the excruciating pain, Kwak Mun-jeong never gave up.
Even as he rolled around on the floor and bruises spread all over his body, he tenaciously rushed at Jin Mu-won. Jin Mu-won never looked at Kwak Mun-jeong like that.
‘The most important thing is to figure out the problem yourself. Herbivory comes next.’
The warriors who reached the highest level had no need for herbivory. This is because their every move was an absolute masterpiece. But that didn’t mean they didn’t learn to eat herbivores. This is because only after you have perfectly mastered herbivory will you reach the state of flexibility and non-attachment, and only then will you no longer need herbivory.
puck!
“Tsk!”
Kwak Mun-jeong fell backwards again.
Their clothes were torn and tangled, their hair had become scattered, and their faces were indistinguishable.
Only then did Jin Mu-won throw away the tree branch he was holding.
“You can add more.”
Kwak Mun-jeong gritted his teeth, barely able to maintain his body with shaky legs.
“Know. Still, now is the time to rest. “Hurry up and use the three-centre method.”
In the end, Kwak Mun-jeong had no choice but to break his will. He began to practice the Samwonsimbeop over the enemy.
Jin Mu-won watched Kwak Mun-jeong like that while enjoying the bonfire.
By now, your internal organs will be so shaken that it will be difficult to even breathe. This is because Jin Mu-won intentionally shocked me like that.
The muscles are torn and the joints are like rags from the continuous impact. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to even endure pain, but it was different for Kwak Mun-jeong, who had learned the Samwonsimbeop. Rather, this was the time when the three-center trial method showed its greatest power. In the process of healing the wounds, Samwonsimbeop and Kwak Munjeong’s body will become stronger.
Jin Mu-won did not particularly prefer using attributes to increase achievement, but he had no choice now. It was not to receive help from Kwak Mun-jeong, but to increase his chances of survival.
It was impossible to predict what kind of chaos would await in the future. Even back then, he didn’t think he would be able to take care of Kwak Mun-jeong like he does now. Jin Mu-won’s primary goal was to ensure that Kwak Mun-jeong could at least protect his body for now.
Sweat was pouring out of Kwak Mun-jeong’s whole body, as if his luck had reached its peak, and it turned red. Samwon Simbeop Kwak Mun-jeong is treating her wounds.
Jin Mu-won watched and added more wood to the bonfire. Then the bonfire grew stronger.
It was half an hour later that Kwak Mun-jeong’s performance ended. His face glowed with color and his whole body overflowed with vitality.
“Good job.”
Jin Mu-won smiled.
“What about the hardships? My brother had a harder time. thank you.”
Kwak Mun-jeong bowed his head deeply to Jin Mu-won.
Jin Mu-won’s smiling expression suddenly hardened. The moment Kwak Mun-jeong made a puzzled expression, Jin Mu-won opened his mouth.
“Look towards Guando.”
Kwak Mun-jeong looked at the direction Jin Mu-won was pointing to, but all he could see was pitch black darkness. However, I knew that Jin Mu-won would not say something like that for no reason, so I focused my attention.
Doo doo doo!
After a while, the faint sound of horses’ hooves reached his ears. Kwak Mun-jeong stuck out his tongue at Jin Mu-won’s formidable eye power.
Soon, a group of people appeared from the darkness. It was a carriage and about a dozen warriors who seemed to be escorting him. They came straight to the vacant lot where Jin Mu-won and Kwak Mun-jeong were.
Kwak Mun-jeong picked up the red book nervously. Because right now, I couldn’t tell if they were enemies or allies.
Finally they arrived at a clearing.
The warriors who escorted the carriage all had bright eyes and were emitting unusual prayers. They were wearing military uniforms with the word pae (覇) written on their chests.
A sparkle passed through Jin Mu-won’s eyes.
‘The hegemony’s warriors.’
They were warriors from a sect established in Yunnan by Jo Cheon-woo, whom they once called uncle. Jin Mu-won’s feelings as he looked at them were so complex that they could not be expressed in words.
An elderly warrior who appeared to be the leader of the warriors got off his horse and approached Jinmuwon. He was an impressive man in his late forties, with wide shoulders, thighs as thick as a woman’s torso, and wide eyes. The spirit of overpowering his opponent was naturally radiating from his body.
He said as he grabbed Jin Mu-won’s hand.
“As expected, there was a passenger. We were planning to sleep out here too, so could you please give us a little space? “This is a place we often use when we’re homeless.”
“Go ahead.”
“Thank you.”
With Jin Mu-won’s permission, the elderly military officer looked back at his subordinates.
“I sleep homeless here. “Everyone, unpack.”
“yes!”
The subordinates gave a strong reply, dismounted from their horses, and began to prepare to sleep in the open air. Jin Mu-won’s pupils shook as he looked at the back of the older man.
‘Do you not recognize me?’
A bitter look appeared on Jin Mu-won’s face as he lowered his head.
It was then.
“Oh my, Jin Sohyeop.”
A familiar voice was heard.
