Difference between hunting and fishing (1)
The warriors guarding the Heavenly Dragon Library were warriors from the Meng Haodan. This was because only the leader used this place.
The person in charge of the place, who received the entry permit issued by Gal Sa-ryang, let me in right away without asking for a detailed reason.
“Please come in.”
Normally, even if you had an entry permit, you would have to listen to a long story about why you came, how to behave once inside, etc.
But I took this position without hesitation. Goodwill was evident not only in the eyes of the person in charge but also in the eyes of other military personnel.
I could guess why. It must have been a rumor within the Tiger Corps. This time, I and Gal Sa-ryang prevented the unnecessary sacrifice of Maeng Hao-danju and his subordinate warriors.
“thank you.”
I greeted them politely and entered the Celestial Dragon Library.
After the war with Sima Yudu ended, I came here often. I read many books in order to reach the Sutra of the Heart and Geometry, but in the later years of my life when I gave up on the Sutra of the Mind and Geometry, I rarely visited.
I felt sorry for Tianlong Library. I went in and out several times a day when I needed to, but then stopped when I said I didn’t need to.
I slowly walked between the bookshelves.
There were so many different books in so many different fields. From martial arts level to strategy books. Since it was a place used by a powerful ruler, there were many books that were difficult to obtain on the market. Of course, that doesn’t mean there was a huge level of martial arts or anything like that.
This time, while taking the Jeongjeongak exam, I read books in various fields.
I definitely felt it at that time. Although reading books in other fields may not have a direct effect on martial arts, it does have an indirect effect.
When I read a book, the person I am changes, and the martial arts skills I perform also change.
Next time I get a chance, I want to read the books here calmly. In the past, when I was a leader, I only read books related to martial arts. But now I want to read many other books.
Anyway, the reason I came here was to read one booklet.
Summary of magic skills
After the war, it was a booklet in which martial arts scholars of the Maeng Dynasty organized the magical arts of the Hyeolcheonshinism by item.
I flipped through the pages and looked for the Gyeongsinbeop section. The goal is to find the magic that Cheon So-seon showed.
At the last moment, Chen Shaoxian’s eyes glowed white and disappeared in an instant.
I had a feeling that it was not Jeonggong’s martial arts. I have never seen or heard of such martial arts. That’s why I’m trying to find it starting from the magic hole.
Occasionally, I saw magicians I knew. They were magicians from the Demonic Cult experts who fought with me.
The fight of that day came to mind as if it were yesterday.
I clearly remembered what numbers were exchanged, one by one. I understood that the Baduk players reproduced the board exactly as it was played. It would be like a warrior remembering his own fight.
Even in my past life, I remembered the last fight. But it definitely felt different between then and now. This was the thought that came to mind the most.
Why did we fight like this then?
There were many moments that I don’t understand now. It seems like we would have fought differently now.
Of course, the results could not be predicted accurately. Rather, if you fight as you think, you might end up losing. Because thoughts and reality will definitely be different.
Anyway, one thing was certain. The perspective of me in my past life and the person I am now towards martial arts has changed. Because I have changed. In all respects.
I looked carefully at the Gyeongshinbeop, but no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the method that Cheon So-seon showed.
I turned the pages again. This time, we looked at magic techniques related to stealth and deception.
There were many ways to momentarily hide one’s body, but the magic craft that disappeared with a white light from its eyes could not be found.
“Then it’s not magic?”
After putting the compendium of Hyeolcheonshinism on the bookshelf, I took out another book this time. This time, it was a booklet that summarized all of Sapa’s martial arts.
Comprehensive review of evil techniques
As I looked at the boatman, I remembered a fight I had with Sapa masters in the past. It was also the same. There were many things I would have handled differently now.
Even though we are the same person with the same martial arts skills, another fight comes to mind? It really occurred to me that the world of martial arts has no end.
I looked closely at the boatman, but the martial arts that Cheon So-seon showed was nowhere to be found there.
“Could it be true faction martial arts?”
I thought it couldn’t be that way, but if this were to happen, I had to look into the hole as well.
It was a much thicker book than the other two books.
Survey of Jeonggong (right performance)
There again, we focused on the parts related to Gyeongshinsul.
It wasn’t there in recent martial arts. I searched and searched for martial arts skills from the past.
“found!”
Surprisingly, there was Cheon So-seon’s martial arts among the martial arts of the previous generation.
Baekgwangmuyeongsinbo (白光無影神步)
It was the same as what Cheon So-seon had shown with the Shinshin technique, where a white glow appeared from the eyes and disappeared in an instant.
The explanation related to it was just one short line.
The phantom thief Cheon Bo-myeong’s method of reading and writing.
Phantom thief Cheon Bo-myeong? I felt like I had heard it somewhere before, sometimes not. Anyway, judging by his nickname, he seemed to be a thief.
Cheon So-seon and the thief. It was a truly unsuitable combination.
Anyway, it was the first time I found a clue about them.
* * *
“Have you ever heard of the phantom thief Cheon Bo-myeong?”
Fortunately, Gal Sa-ryang remembered him.
“Yes, I have heard of it. A hundred years ago, a thief named Cheon Bo-myeong appeared and threw Gangho into chaos. “The reason I remember him is that, as the name suggests, he was a truly strange person.”
“What was strange about it?”
“It is said that he was not a person who stole from the rich, but only from the powerful.”
“Only things belonging to powerful people?”
“yes. That’s right.”
“Did you steal martial arts or weapons?”
“If that were the case, the name Phantom Thief wouldn’t have stuck. He says he didn’t steal anything valuable. It is said that he stole clothes and pennies from a master with a treasured sword.”
“He is truly incomprehensible.”
“Yes, it is.”

“Was he a strong martial artist?”
“no. It is said that he never used martial arts until he disappeared from active service. However, it appears that the powerful people were unable to catch him because he used a mysterious walking technique.”
That would be Baekgwangmuyeongsinbo.
“But why are you asking about the Phantom Thief?”
“The martial art that Cheon So-seon used that day was Cheon Bo-myeong’s divine method.”
“yes?”
It was truly unexpected, as if the galsa-ryang was surprised.
“Are you saying they are related to the Phantom Thieves?”
“I don’t know if I learned the Phantom Thief’s martial arts by chance or if there is a direct connection. “First, please find out about Cheon Bo-myeong’s subsequent actions.”
“all right.”
“Then I’ll go out for a while.”
As I was about to leave again, Gal Sa-ryang asked.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
I answered with a smile.
“I don’t know if it will be hunting or fishing.”
“Is there any bait?”
When I looked at him with meaningful eyes, he was startled.
“oh my god! “That’s me.”
* * *
Heukseok was standing on a hill with a view of the Murimmaeng in the distance.
The good-looking impression of a thick body was still cold. Since joining the powerhouse, and especially since joining this organization, have you ever been in a corner like this?
Gwanghyeolmu Tonggun and Ma Ben were lost, and even Pyeonno died. Even if Cheon So-seon didn’t threaten him by saying that he was Baek’s successor and all, it was enough for him to feel a sense of crisis.
Cheon So-seon gave an order to find out the mastermind or mastermind involved in Galsaryang. If this command fails… … .
At that time, two people appeared behind me.
Like Heukseok, a man wearing black military uniform brought a woman. The woman she was forcibly dragged to was none other than Chilho.
Heukseok asked without turning around.
“Do you know who I am?”
“I do not know.”
“And yet you are not afraid.”
As expected, Chilho was not afraid at all. In fact, he was not afraid, he was giving up.
First of all, the martial arts of the man in black who brought him was much stronger than his own.
He was a master called Cheolgyeol (鐵結), who served as the executioner of Heukseok. When he was handling important matters, Heukseok sent him as his most trusted subordinate.
But Chil-ho didn’t just give up because Cheol-gyeol was stronger than him.
When Chilho faced this situation, he did not want to stubbornly overcome it and overcome it. Rather, at times like this, she thinks like this.
… … I just wish it would all end like this.
She has been looking for hope in her life for some time.
Do hope and despair always go together?
The more she looked for hope, the more despair she found.
“Why did you bring me here?”
Although I saw Heukseok and Cheolgyeol for the first time today, I could tell at a glance that it was their organization. People in this organization have something in common. It feels like I’m looking at a stone statue standing somewhere in a ruin, somehow rigid.
“Why do you think you brought me there?”
At that moment, Chilho’s expression frowned slightly. I thought that such a question was really just a meaningless question and a play on words.
“I do not know.”
“You investigated the amount of brown meat, right?”
“yes.”
“What did you find out about him?”
Only then did Chilho understand why he had been dragged in.
“I can’t tell you. “This is something I can only report to my immediate supervisor.”
“Aren’t members of the same family able to be flexible?”
“It’s not possible.”
Heukseok turned around at Chilho’s refusal. She knew that words weren’t the way to go, so she chose another method.
He approached Chil-ho with a deadly spirit and roughly grabbed him by the collar.
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
A thick hand pressed down on Chilho’s neck.
I was out of breath. Although he had a painful expression, Chilho thought in his heart that it wouldn’t matter if he died like this.
A certain sense of futility from Chilho stimulated Heukseok. It was just when I was about to tighten my grip.
“Please stop!”
Someone arrived there in a hurry. The person who appeared was Ilho. He must have been running so quickly that he was drenched in sweat. If the number one expert was sweating, you could guess how fast he was running.
Without a word, he gave it to Cheolgyeol who stopped him.
“Here is the Chilho report I received at that time.”
Cheolgyeol took it and handed it to Heukseok. Heukseok gave up his life and read the report. Previously, it was reported that the deaths of Heukmirang and Kono were clearly related to Galsaryang.
“Is this all?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
“shit!”
Only Galsaryang was pointed out, and there was no content he wanted. Since Heukseok knew better than anyone else how his organization worked, he also knew that there was no more information.
Heukseok looked back at Chilho and asked again.
“That kind of attitude will only shorten your lifespan. Did you understand?”
“yes.”
“If you want to report it to your superiors, do it.”
He left those words to Ilho and ran away. Her iron fist disappeared there along with her.
Now only No. 1 and No. 7 are left there.
“Did you want to die?”
“no.”
“But why is that?”
“They are the ones who violated the regulations.”
“When did they fight while following the rules? be careful. Heukseok is now cornered. “He is so desperate that he will do anything.”
Chilho smiled faintly. What good would that do? Today is the first time I hear her name, Heukseok, and yet she almost dies from her. This was the organization he belonged to and his situation.
“But is it okay to hand over that data like that?”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
Il-ho knew and Chil-ho knew that there was a correlation. If you just ignore it, it’s nothing, but if something goes wrong, it will be treated as a serious crime.
“Thank you for saving me.”
Chilho bowed his head. Il-ho, who had been staring at her quietly, turned her body.
“What is gratitude?”
The words of having a drink to commemorate his survival rose up in Ilho’s throat, but he swallowed them again like always.
“Aren’t you going?”
“Go first. “I have someone to meet.”
I was curious who it was, but Ilho didn’t ask.
“Be careful.”
“yes.”
Ilho jumped up and left the place.
* * *
“Gunbyeok is now in the emergency operation room. Even if you go, you probably won’t be able to meet me.”
Chilho quickly turned around after telling the soldier guarding his former office that he knew.
I thought I would like to see him once before I go back.
As for my relationship with him, it really was nothing special. When I think of him, dumplings come to mind. There are only a few dumplings… … He felt like he wanted to go and see his face at least once.
There are people that I keep thinking of these days.
A man named Galpyo, whom I met during the first mission related to Ma Jeongsu, was like that, and so was a man named Unnamed Daehyeop, whom I met during the Golden Daeyeon mission.
This new soldier was like that too.
Have you lost your mind? I was raised not to have any emotions… … Is it a variant?
One thing that was clear was that the more people I remembered, the deeper my loneliness became.
As I was leaving the Jeongjeongak building, I ran into someone.
“uh? you are?”
The person who entered the building was Byeokridan.
“What’s going on here? Do you still have any missions left?”
She answered Byeokridan’s question.
“Ah yes.”
“I see. “Okay then.”
At that time, when Byeokridan was passing by, Chilho suddenly spoke.
“Did you eat? before… … “I even bought dumplings from there.”
Byeokridan stopped walking, stared at her for a moment, and then said something unexpected.
“Don’t do that, let’s have a drink.”
This time, Chilho stared at Byeokridan. Soon she nodded her head.
“Okay, I’ll buy it.”
Chilho turned and walked away.
As I was walking, Byeokridan did not follow me. She stopped and turned around to see Wall Lidan pointing in the opposite direction and saying:
“The way out is over there.”
“ah.”
Byeokridan took the first step. She followed suit, her face slightly red. I was embarrassed that it seemed like I was in a hurry.
‘Damn it!’
