When enlightenment deepens (2)
“grandfather.”
Cheon So-seon came to his senses for a moment. When he first lost consciousness, he had the appearance of a woman, but now he has returned to his original appearance as Cheon So-seon. Because the old man had cleaned her face beforehand, she didn’t look so bizarre as Cheon So-seon with makeup on.
all.
“Are you conscious?”
“What happened?”
“Don’t you remember?”
Cheon So-seon was lost in thought for a moment. Soon his frown frowned.
“ah! “They came in!”
“Yes, that’s right. “He is a bastard.”
The old man stopped Cheon So-seon from jumping up.
“It’s safe now. “Try to rest some more.”
Cheon So-seon lay back again and spoke to the old man.
“Grandpa, please give me a little respect.”
Without a word, the old man brought a small longing and shined it on Chen Shaoxian’s face. Even though he wasn’t wearing makeup, his complicated feelings were clearly visible on his face as he looked at Tokyo.
“Oh, what about Dafa? What happened to Dafa?”
“Dafa has failed.”
“What about the Heavenly Demon’s soul?”
“has disappeared.”
“this!”
Cheon So-seon’s face crumpled, revealing despair.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa.”
“Okay. “It is enough that you are safe.”
“It’s not enough! “Grandpa has been preparing for this for so long!”
“How can things in this world turn out the way you want them to? “Sometimes you fail and sometimes you have to step back.”
“I will not forgive him!”
“He would be dead by now.”
“yes?”
Cheon So-seon was surprised.
“He was swept away by the explosion and is now trapped in the Murimmaeng underground prison. He sent someone to kill him.”
“But he…” … .”
Cheon So-seon’s eyes wavered. He himself experienced first-hand how strong his opponent was. He wasn’t that easy to beat, was he?
At that time, a man without eyebrows came and spoke.
“The Sungchonggwan is outside.”
“Now get some rest.”
After comforting Cheon So-seon, the old man left the cave.
Seongwangbo was waiting at the entrance.
“I sent demons to get rid of the person in prison.”
The old man knew who the ghosts mentioned were.
“They are quick on their feet. “He’s quite skilled.”
They were particularly good at infiltration missions, so they were suitable for infiltrating the prison. In any case, skill was not something to be considered a big issue since he was an opponent that had been overpowered by Demon Blood.
Of course, it should have been reported that he was killed, but Seongwangbo reported an unexpected result.
“The ghosts have failed.”
The old man was surprised.
“Failed?”
“Yes, we were wiped out except for one person who barely escaped. According to the survivor’s report, it was a trap of the Macheol Army.”
“You mean the Macheol army counterattacked?”
It could have been. Because Majeol was trying to somehow escape from his control.
“Then who is the one who interfered with Dafa?”
“I think he escaped from the explosion site in the first place.”
“Macheolgun dug a trap?”
“Yes, I was planning to eliminate all those who came to save me. Otherwise, it may have been Ma Cheol-gun’s subordinates who were interfering with Dafa in the first place.”
The old man firmly shook his head.
“He is not a person that someone like Ma Cheol can put under his command.”
The opposite was possible.
Could it be that he even had Prince Ma Cheol under his command? However, judging from Macheolgun’s recent actions, it didn’t seem like that.
“They must have been notified as well.”
“This incident made the Dark Lord very angry.”
“I should take responsibility for my anger. “Because I couldn’t even handle this.”
Sheng Wangbo didn’t say anything.
He was standing on the ice and the cracks were cracking under his feet. If the ice cracks he will fall into the water from which he cannot get out. Depending on which direction he flees to, whether he lives or dies will be determined.
“Was there a separate order from him?”
“There was none.”
“It’s worse.”
The old man knew about the dark object. The fact that no orders were given in this situation meant that they were worried about themselves.
‘Cheeky golden bugs!’
However, the old man did not show any such anger and remained calm. he asked, slowly walking to the edge of the cliff.

“Did you ask the right questions for the right answers?”
It was a conversation I had with Seong Wangbo when we met before.
“no. “I haven’t found the right question yet.”
You will have to find it soon. To avoid drowning.
The old man asked again, still looking at the distant scenery.
“What is your dream?”
“You asked me the same question when you first met me. At that time, I answered like this. “My dream is to make a lot of money.”
“I remember. Then I asked back. Don’t you already have a lot of money? So you answered like this. “I want to make a lot more money than I do now.”
“You remember correctly.”
The old man slowly turned around and looked at Cheng Wangbo.
“My dream has not changed.”
“yes. “It’s a real dream if it doesn’t change.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Seongwangbo said with a self-mocking smile.
“Most people dream dreams that cannot be achieved.”
A word thrown out at that time.
“Don’t you really want to make that dream of yours come true?”
At that moment, Seongwangbo’s heart sank.
I knew very well what those words meant.
It means to betray the target of darkness and stick to yourself. If that happens… … So, if you can keep all their wealth for yourself, you will be able to achieve your dream.
But if it was someone I could betray so easily, I would have betrayed him already.
Sheng Wangbo did not answer right away. A competent businessman should always use the abacus first instead of speaking.
“See you next time.”
* * *
I met the Cheonma again.
The place where we met was on a ferry boat floating on the lake.
Since I set the reference point for Cheongihwansimgong as a small pond in the back of an Angar, I thought that the space created in my mind would have a similar manor and pond.
However, the place where it was created was a huge lake. It probably looked like a lake to my eyes, but it could have been a pond. It was a similar case as before, when the chains hanging on the wall turned into a huge chain bridge.
[Have we ever fought on the water?]
Cheonma’s question reminded me of past battles. Although it is not accurate.
[It happened two or three times. Don’t you remember? There was a large-scale attack on the ship I was on at the beginning of the New Year, right?]
[I should have made fish rice back then.]
[Who were the people who attacked me at the time?]
[It was a water warfare unit.]
[How can you not breathe underwater for so long?]
They had been underwater for so long that one would believe they were indeed humans with gills.
[Do you think I will give away our school’s secrets so obediently?]
Of course, I can figure it all out if I put my mind to it. However, I have no intention of using him to find out the secrets of the faucet.
[Now, shall we see what I look like on the outside?]
[Try it.]
I concentrated my mind by memorizing the nine verses of Cheongisimhwangong.
Sigh.
Then suddenly the ferry we were on started speeding by.
The boat arrived at the edge of the lake in an instant.
I could see land ahead. The back garden of the garden was visible on land. It was the support of the An family where I started practicing CheongisimHwanGong.
I was sitting cross-legged on the rock there.
I can see my current self.
[This is truly amazing.]
I was truly moved.
[Who is martial arts? Of course it’s amazing.]
Cheonma and I stood side by side and watched me close my eyes.
[It’s strange that I am being watched.]
[Isn’t it fascinating?]
[Interesting.]
It was as if my soul had escaped and was watching me from the outside. It felt like the audience was watching the stage. It was so sophisticated that it was incomparable to ordinary magic, and it was only possible because I realized the essence of Cheonkisimhwangong.
[Hey, Cheon Gwang.]
[why?]
[You’re not angry because I called your name?]
[I feel like it’s less effective every time I get angry. I will get angry when you let your guard down.]
[haha.]
[But why did you call me?]
[Have you ever looked at yourself objectively?]
[objectively? Why should I look at myself objectively?]
[That’s right… … Because it is difficult to look at it objectively.]
[So why bother doing such difficult work?]
Looking at yourself objectively is as difficult as it is important.
People are generous to themselves but strict to others. Moreover, I am someone who often falls into the trap of self-justification, and I am the same.
What I firmly believe to be right may be remembered by someone as the worst mistake.
[Life is too short to think like that.]
There are times when I agree with his thoughts. At least for now, I completely agree with what he said.
Looking back, my seventy years of life were just a moment.
It really was just a moment.
My teens and twenties really didn’t pass by very well. But as I passed my thirties, time began to speed up just as my sword became faster.
Besides, I fought a war. Afterwards, the Murim Alliance suffered internal strife.
Really, I thought I had some free time now, but I was at the age of death.
Yes, I agree with what Cheonma said.
I sympathize with him, but he and I are completely different people. So the conclusions reached were also different.
I think that’s why I try. Life is too short to make any effort to objectify yourself or any other effort.
Anyway, was it because of the topic ‘self’? The Heavenly Demon looked back at me and said.
[I want to have my own body too.]
I could tell that he meant what he said.
I also spoke sincerely.
[I’m sorry, but you can’t leave my body. And in the end… … You will die by my hands.]
After finishing speaking, I glanced at Cheonma.
He said nothing. He was silently watching me in reality.
His empty eyes resembled the eyes I saw once. It’s the same look in your eyes as you looked up at the falling rain before you fought me for the last time.
What is he thinking now?
At that time, the Heavenly Demon spoke softly.
[Someone is coming over there.]
I looked at the direction the Heavenly Demon was pointing to.
White votes were coming in as sponsorship.
[It’s time to wake up.]
The Heavenly Demon said nothing. He was uncharacteristically calm, so I could tell he was quite disturbed.
I woke up from a dream.
The world went dark once and then became bright again, and Baekpyo was standing in front of me.
“My lord.”
I looked at him and smiled brightly.
“Are you here?”
* * *
“Huff, gasp.”
Baekpyo gasped.
In addition to sharing the joy of our reunion, I also kissed him once.
Baekpyo’s martial arts skills improved thanks to my last teaching. Now he was almost at the top.
It was a dance to change ‘almost’ into ‘completely’. Of course, these few dances may not completely change your skills, but they can provide an opportunity to advance to the next level.
Now, if you are a master of the hundred mark, the opportunity is as important as the training period. I kept giving him prompts.
“Come on, let’s go and have a cold drink.”
“Yes, my lord.”
As I went, I had many conversations with Baekpyo.
“How are things going at Taeseong Sangdan?”
“Currently, 40 talented martial artists have gathered. From now on, it’s up to Gwangmuin.”
“Gwangdu will do well.”
“I think so too. “The more I looked at it, the more authentic it seemed.”
“Good to see.”
At that time, the Heavenly Demon suddenly asked. He, who had not spoken to me since the last Cheongi Hwansimgong, spoke to me in his usual tone.
[Who is Gwangdu?]
[there is.]
[Are you sure you’re crazy?]
[haha. It is a photon that will shine.]
I remembered the first time I made fun of Gwangdu like that. I was running around thinking it was a photon that would shine.
[Suhaji, whom I cherish and like.]
[A subordinate you cherish and like? You’re not serious, right?]
[If you’re serious?]
[idiot! You have to use the subordinates by scaring them and coaxing them. I’m not the type of person to share my sincerity with.]
[That’s why you lost.]
[That’s funny. It’s because of you that I lost. Unfortunately, a guy named Cheon Ha-jin happened to be born in my era.]
[I take it as a compliment.]
At that moment, Galsaryang also arrived at the safe house.
“My lord.”
I greeted him warmly.
“You’ve arrived at the right time. “Let’s have a drink together for the first time in a while.”
[It’s not three, it’s four!]
Cheonma shouted, but he pretended not to hear and grabbed Galsaryang’s hand.
“We have some serious things to discuss.”
martial arts,
