Finding the Head (1)
Jin’s report was surprising.
“The Murim Alliance announced that the Blood Heaven Demon Cult has been revived.”
I looked blank for a moment.
Jin might have thought I felt like I’d been hit hard, but that wasn’t the case.
I had already experienced the attempt to break the fatal restrictions of the demonic spirit of Buddha.
To be precise, it is not the resurrection of the Blood Heaven Demon Cult, but a conspiracy by a new force using the name of the Blood Heaven Demon Cult.
The Blood Heaven Demon Cult cannot be resurrected. Because they all died by my hands.
The reason I was lost in thought for a moment was because numerous past memories of the Blood Heaven Demon Cult came to mind. The long fight with them, the last grueling battle with the Demon Cult leader.
“So, it is said that in the coming March, each organization of the Murim League will be recruiting a large number of new warriors. “In a few days, this news will be delivered to the entire midfield.”
If it’s March, it’s two months from now.
How should we interpret this incident? Is this the meaning of Mabongi? Or is it the meaning behind it?
It was something that could not be known unless one was deeply involved in the Murim Alliance. Sejak had not yet been deployed to the Murim Alliance. Jin and Su said they were confident, but thought it was still too early.
I was still thirsty for information, and I knew the solution.
* * *
It’s been a while since I visited Baekpyo.
He was in hell training with the Black Panthers, rolling along in the snow. Compared to their training, the training of the Small Swordsman could be considered a light warm-up, but the training of the Black Panthers was grueling and dangerous.
Their eyes were completely different from when I came before.
“Is the cat out now?”
They answered my question loudly.
“That’s right.”
I called back the man who had dealt with me before.
Now, without another word, I drew my sword and rushed at him.
Shhh.
It was faster and more accurate than before. So much so that you can clearly feel the fruits of your training.
Whirling.
Even when he spun around in the air against his will and fell to the floor, his eyes never left me.
thud.
What was being suffered was the same, but this time, he was aware of what was being suffered.
When I held out my hand, he took it and stood up.
I smiled and said while looking at him.
“You’re still a cat. “But you’ve become a fiercer cat than last time.”
The man looked despondent, but soon revealed his determination that he would never suffer meekly next time.
As I was about to turn around with Baekpyo, the man asked.
“What kind of martial art is that technique from a little while ago?”
The other Black Panthers also looked at me with the same question.
I said, tapping the sword on my waist.
“I am a swordsman.”
Everyone, including the man, was surprised. It seems that they thought that bare-handed martial arts was their main martial arts and that they carried swords to deceive their opponents. Well, the level of Seonhak secret arts was so high that it was only natural.
“Try to be able to pull the sword out of me someday.”
Everyone looked at each other with surprised and bewildered expressions.
I left them behind and walked side by side with Baekpyo.
“How do you feel?”
“very good.”
Rather, Baekpyo’s spirit was the sharpest. It will take a huge amount of mental energy to give them new birth. At the same time, Baekpyo was also being born again, as if his sword was being sharpened on a whetstone.
“Be careful not to get wet.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
I told Baekpyo what I had come for.
Jin reported the facts. The Blood Heavenly Demon Cult was about to be revived, and in preparation for it, people were selected from the Murim Alliance.
“The resurrection of the Blood Heaven Demon Cult? “It’s hard to believe.”
He knew because he spent a lot of time with me. It’s really not easy for them to be resurrected.
“Moreover, hasn’t it been more than thirty years since they were destroyed?”
“I think so too.”
“What on earth is this plan?”
“After hearing the report this time, I decided that one person was needed.”
“Who are you?”
“I am the one you spoke of.”
Baekpyo said with a happy expression.
“You must be a galgunsa.”
“exactly.”
“Well thought out. “If we are to achieve a great cause, we will definitely need Galgunsa.”
Originally, I was planning on bringing him back a little later. But the circumstances in which he returned were unusual. He decided that they needed to bring in Gal Sa-ryang before they did anything bigger.
“I will go. “If I persuade you, maybe you will leave the Murim Alliance and come to my lord.”
“I guess so.”
Just by looking at Galsaryang entrusting Baekpyo with the Sura Myeongwangsword, it was clear that his trust was deep.
But there was a reason why that shouldn’t be the case.
“Don’t you have work to do?”

Raising a black panther was as important as bringing in a brown leopard. I don’t want to stop this practice.
“Besides, Galgunsa is the entire military unit of the entire army, so they will still be keeping an eye on them. “It is not advisable for you to attempt contact.”
And the decisive reason was this.
“As you know, this is something I have to do myself.”
It is a relationship between a lord and a subject. I thought that rather than a hawk stepping in and acting as matchmaker, I had to sincerely convince him to follow me.
“You are correct. Do you have any plans to do so?”
“I am going to see him.”
“yes? Confucius? “How?”
“This time, the entire organization of the Murim League is recruiting new members. The same goes for Jeongjeongak.”
“Are you saying you want to go into Jeongeuigak?”
Baekpyo was surprised because it was something he had never thought of.
“exactly. “I plan to go into Jeongjeongak and make him mine.”
Whether to take him out or leave him as is will be decided depending on the situation at the time.
“Is that possible?”
“It won’t be easy.”
“No, I mean entering Jeongjeongak.”
Of course I thought I could go in.
“Is it difficult?”
“Of course it’s difficult. “It is a place where even the descendants of the greatest scholarly family in the central region can barely enter.”
I said, shrugging my shoulders.
“I will study hard from now on. “There are still two months left.”
Baekpyo shook his head and burst into laughter.
“Haha, you are truly amazing.”
He may have been skeptical, but I was sincere. No matter what, I will enter Jeongjeongak and make Galsaryang on my side.
“I will bring the Galgunsa.”
Now is the time to find my person.
* * *
“Galgunsa! “Have you found his whereabouts yet?”
Sima Qian’s voice rose.
“yes.”
Gal Sa-ryang lowered his head with an expression of disapproval.
“The Unknown Grand Alliance has completely disappeared from this river.”
“You pathetic friend, are you saying that now? You are truly incompetent. “Incompetent!”
“sorry.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t look for it on purpose. Gal Saryang did his best to find the Unknown Great Hyeop. Of course, he even used his own non-envy to find it.
But no trace was found.
Galsaryang had three possibilities in mind. Either he’s dead, he’s completely disappeared, or he’s acting as someone else.
I thought maybe he was acting as someone else. There is no way a person who was capable of destroying a demon spirit could easily have died or gone into hiding. They’re probably preparing another shot.
“Instead, there is one thing I learned along the way.”
Gal Sa-ryang held out a document with a secretive expression.
“Ohh.”
Sima Qian’s expression relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips.
“It’s worth looking into.”
We investigated and reported on those who were dishonest among Kangho’s personnel.
The investigation mentioned here was not a simple investigation. It meant the process of extorting interests and money by pressuring the person. It was to prey on evil people and fill the stomachs of bigger evil people.
The amount of money that went into Sima Qian’s pocket in one year amounted to 100,000 nyang. It helped him earn money he had never touched in his life.
Of course, Galsaryang took some of it for himself, proving that they were in the same boat. If you get caught, you will die together.
Since I was taking money from a wicked person anyway, I had no remorse, and I didn’t even think that my method was wrong. He told Saryang that he did not think about personal honor or what would happen later. If we find and avenge those who killed Cheon Ha-jin, we will forever be this powerhouse.
Because I was thinking of leaving.
Thanks to this, Gal Si-ryang escaped Sima Qian’s surveillance. Of course, you may be watching yourself, but the surveillance you used to have is no longer there. Although he was reprimanded for being incompetent, he became very friendly with him. If you share something bad, don’t become friends quickly.
It’s a series. It took a lot of effort to get to this point.
“Did you hear the news? The main office also needs to receive a new military officer in the spring. “You will take care of that.”
“All right.”
Gal Sa-ryang, who was about to turn around and leave, asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
“But where on earth did the absurd statement about the resurrection of the Blood Heavenly God Church come from?”
The Murim Alliance announced a fact that even Jeongjeongak was not aware of. Of course, Gal Sa-ryang knew that it was Ma Bong-gi’s announcement. I’m just going to hint at it once.
“Yeah… … .”
As Sima Qian spoke less, he raised his eyes slightly upward. It means an order given from Maengjujeon.
“When it comes to the Demonic Cult, the strong people have fits. “It’s the fastest way to gather strength.”
“Isn’t Meng’s strength still sufficient?”
“When it comes to strength, the stronger the better. “You don’t need to know any more.”
“Okay, I’ll just leave.”
I could feel the excitement in his answer. Sima Qian also doesn’t know the details of the inside story. Ma Bong-gi was completely excluding him from very important matters.
Does Sima Qian really not know about the forces behind it? Or are you just pretending not to know?
The distance with Sima Qian has narrowed a lot, but there are still many things we don’t know.
* * *
When I found out about the exam to enter Jeongjeongak, I found out that it was not easy.
I immediately started studying writing.
If you have spent most of your day practicing until now, you have now invested most of your day in studying. Now that my inner strength has improved and I can use the five-choice technique, my martial arts training is now limited to just lightly warming up my body.
Really, how long has it been since you studied? Oh, have I ever studied to get into somewhere in my past life?
When I thought about it, it wasn’t there.
I asked Jin and Su to find out what tests they had taken before and what I needed to study for. It was not a matter to be trifled with. Basically, there were dozens of books to read.
I read and reread. I read a book while saving up my sleep at night.
Today too, I was busy studying writing from early morning.
I, who had been reading a book for a while, said without turning around.
“Stop stealing and come in.”
Gwangdu, who had been peeking through the crack in the door, came inside.
The guy quietly came over and confirmed that the books on the desk were not official books.
“As expected, the rumors are true.”
“What rumor?”
“There is a rumor that you have become strange again.”
“haha.”
Well, my mother came yesterday and touched my forehead. But there is one thing that has changed from before. Now, it doesn’t stop me from doing what I want to do. Now I really believe in myself.
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
“There must be balance in learning.”
“So is it balanced?”
“It’s still far away.”
There were some things I felt while studying this time. I realized that I had been living a life too focused on martial arts.
Of course, there were a lot of things I saw and heard over the decades of being a leader. So, I naturally thought that I would be able to pass the Jeongjeongak admission test.
But when I actually studied it, it was different from what I thought. Knowledge that can be guessed through hearing and formal study are completely different.
Just like martial arts, studying had its own world. It was absolutely not something to be taken lightly.
Fortunately, my memory had developed dramatically and my mind was very clear.
I memorized it again and again. Just as in martial arts, creative skills can only be achieved through repeated training, there are also basic things that need to be memorized in studying. I memorized what I needed to memorize and understood what I needed to understand.
“Well, I heard good news. “I heard you decided to go out with Dosun?”
“Has the rumor already spread?”
“Where is the secret in our sword belt?”
The atmosphere of the sword team was good, and the members of the sword team were close-knit.
“What happened?”
“One day, when I was in tears, I went to her and told her my honest feelings. She still likes me. Before, I was so immature that I attacked them without knowing what to do. In fact, I don’t even know what she said or how she said it. “I’m so nervous.”
“Your courage has paid off.”
“We haven’t decided to date yet. “I just decided to go on an outing.”
I gave Gwangdu ten nyang of silver.
“Now, buy something delicious that day and eat it.”
“no. You don’t have to give it to me. “I have a lot of money.”
Gwangdu was embarrassed. Guangdu still gets excessively rigid at times like this.
“I’m not saying you should go and brag. If possible, wear neater clothes and eat in a place with a better atmosphere. This means showing that you are putting in a lot of effort for the other person. If you’re a woman who tries to rip off a man, you’re an asshole.
“He may do something, but Dosun is not that kind of person, right?”
“young master.”
Gwangdu brings tears to my heart.
“Don’t be greedy to do everything at once. Come with the feeling of having a fun day. “There’s no need to set the mood, and there’s no need to confess that you like it anymore.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind! I will definitely be with Dosoon… … .”
“Don’t use the word ‘must’ in relationships between men and women.”
“yes!”
Because the issue of men and women is unknown. To the extent that you may not be able to know even if you live your whole life.
After Gwangdu left, I opened the book again.
Even though I didn’t know about the issue of men and women, I knew this. Now is the time to try. He may betray the woman, but he will not betray his efforts.
martial arts,
