When enlightenment deepens (3)
The drinking party was very enjoyable.
They were two people who could truly be my two wings.
Of course, I also informed Baekpyo about the existence of the Heavenly Demon.
“The Heavenly Demon who wanted to divorce is now in my body.”
“yes? “Are you sure?”
Baekpyo was so surprised that he jumped up from his seat.
The reason that the reaction is more intense than that of Galsaryang is probably due to differences in temperament rather than differences in mind. Because it is unmanned, the idea that something is inhabiting the body is taken much more seriously.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“It’s nice not to be bored.”
“yes?”
Baekpyo and Galsaryang laughed with expressions of disapproval.
“Those words are truly words that only my lord in this river can say.”
Baekpyo shook his head and said at Galsaryang’s words.
“I won’t be able to last even a day.”
[They don’t know my true worth.]
[appreciation? To them, you are nothing more than an object of fear and an evil that must be eradicated.]
It seemed like he might get angry, but surprisingly, the Cheonma was calm. As always, he had an unpredictable personality. The Heavenly Demon asked vaguely.
[Then what about you?]
I felt like they were expecting something nice to hear.
[What’s different about me?]
[Cold-faced guy.]
[It’s refreshing to hear those words from you.]
After a few rounds of drinking had passed, Gal Sa-ryang cautiously asked.
“You said you had something important to discuss. What is it?”
“There was a question that kept coming to mind while dealing with them. “Where on earth did the forces behind it raise funds?”
Gal Sa-ryang nodded at my words.
“I had similar questions. “The power they showed was something that could never be achieved with ordinary funds.”
Galsaryang and I have run the Murim Alliance ourselves, so we knew exactly how much money it costs to grow and maintain an elite organization.
Moreover, the enemies I faced were legitimate organizations that could be trusted even if the elites of the Demonic Cult had been resurrected.
“This is an organization that cannot handle the general rejection of the powerhouse. “There is clearly someone with enormous wealth behind it.”
“See you, King Seong.”
Gal Sa-ryang was surprised at the name I uttered.
“Are you really talking about the owner of the upper part of the continent and the owner of the Central Plains Merchants Association?”
“Yes, he is related to them.”
“What happened?”
I told him in detail what happened with Seongwangbo. In the past, the bureau that sent materials to Lim Yeon-jeong, who was researching in the basement of the manor, was Namhyeon Bureau.
Later, in the process of investigating the matter, it was discovered that Namhyeonpyoguk had grown into a mid-sized bureaucracy in just three years, and that behind it was a continental upper division run by Seongwangbo.
At the time, I had a lot of other important things to do, so I put off investigating it, but now it’s time to dig into it in earnest.
“Seongwangbo is directly connected to them, or someone at the top of the continent is connected to them.”
“All right. “We will focus on digging into Seongwangbo.”
“If the money line is cut off, they will resort to unreasonable measures. “We must aim for that time.”
“yes.”
I raised my glass. Galsaryang and Baekpyo raised their glasses.
“The real fight starts now.”

Ma Cheol-gun was sitting alone in Taesa Temple.
After reporting that the man had disappeared, I kept thinking about that mysterious woman.
He took it with him and then disappeared. What if he escaped? What if he was kidnapped?
You won’t have the honor to see her. Because the Murim Lord would be unable to protect even a single person.
At that time, Master Noh came into Maengjujeon at a fast pace.
“The prison investigation is over.”
“What happened?”
“The inspection has put the institution on hold for a while. “In the meantime, they broke in.”
“It appears that the prison’s internal information has been leaked.”
“Or maybe the one with the power to stop the institution in the first place is on their side.”
What if the prison warden is on their side? Stopping the engine for a while will be done without any problems.
“We will thoroughly investigate this matter and find all those involved.”
“Who killed the intruders? “The one who was captured?”
“Given the circumstances, it appears to be so, but I believe it is more likely that a third person was responsible.”
“What makes you think that?”
“As you know, you can never solve the method of suppressing the Murimmaeng Prison on your own. As far as is known, only Cheon Ha-jin, the leader of the pre-war era, was able to solve the suppression method on his own. I don’t think that young man has that level of skill.
Does not.”
“Me too.”
“It seems that a third person probably intervened and killed those who came to kill him and saved the person who was trapped.”
“Please investigate thoroughly.”
“all right.”

“And it is time to use the Cast Iron Dragon.”
“Joo Cheolryong will not be defeated easily. He needs to cut off his wings to keep him at bay.”
“Take care of your iron skills!”
“you’re right. We need to get Okdangchu, the owner of Iron Gidan, on our side. “Please leave that to me.”
“Please take care of me.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Mr. Noh went out to fight against Maengju.
Ma Cheol had a headache. He poured a drink from the table next to him and drank it.
It wasn’t the time to drink alcohol, but it was difficult to stay sober. The fact that he almost became material for Dafa continued to haunt him. His pride was hurt, which made him angry, and the fact that he could not control his mind hurt his pride again and made him angry again. It was repeating infinitely.
I thought I could boldly overcome it, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought.
In times like this, he should rather let out the anger in his heart, but he had never been hurt like this before or had any experience in overcoming it.
Added to that was another worry about her.
I kept imagining her being violated by men.
Ma Cheol-gun emptied his drink again.
‘Please be safe, I will definitely save you.’
I really wanted to see her again.

A new space was created with Cheon Gi-sim Hwan-gong.
This time I used the front yard of the safe house as a reference point, and as a result I found myself standing in a huge clearing.
From far away, the Heavenly Demon was walking towards me.
I watched in silence the figure of the Heavenly Demon walking through the shimmering haze.
He is an enemy I killed once, and an enemy I will have to kill in the future.
But there are times when I think of myself through him. This is the case right now. The image of the old Heavenly Horse walking towards me keeps reminding me of my past life.
To one side, I saw myself sitting cross-legged in the yard. Now I could see reality freely.
For a moment, I watched myself lost in a state of astonishment.
Although he was reborn as Byeokridan, he realized that he could not escape from Heaven. It was only natural that the Heavenly Demon came into my body.
But even if you see me through him, I will try.
This is not an effort to forget my former self.
It is an effort to live a better life than my previous self.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon who walked in front of me grunted.
[You bastard! It’s too wide, right? I’ve been looking for it for a while.]
[As you get older, you need to walk more for exercise.]
[Damn you, are you saying that’s a joke?]
[haha.]
He was anticipating why I had chosen such a large area as a reference point.
[Is it today?]
[okay. Let’s give it a try today.]
[The sea I waited for. I’ll kill you this time.]
[I’m sorry, but that won’t happen.]
There was a purpose for him because he was frustrated, but the real reason I learned Cheongisimhwan-gong was because I wanted to share secret dance with him.
[Do you want to deal with that Seonhak secret technique in person?]
It was a bit unexpected that he wanted to deal with Seonhak secret arts. It seemed like he would try to deal with the Chuhon Sura swordsmanship that he suffered again.
[It’s good. you are?]
[Since you also have bare hands, I will fight with my bare hands too.]
[Isn’t that too much?]
[This bastard!]
We faced each other.
This was the principle of Cheonkihwansimgong.
In this, you can fight like in a real fight and even get hurt.
But it never dies. Injuries heal immediately, and if you suffer a fatal wound, your Heavenly Qi Shen Huan Gong is broken.
In other words, you can fight as much as you want.
[Standing face to face like this reminds me of the old days.]
[Right.]
[The political factions talk about cooperation and justice, but in the end, people fight for themselves. Although you may deny it.]
[I don’t deny it.]
[what? It’s unexpected.]
[I became the best person in the world at a very young age.]
[I can’t help but say those words with my own mouth. I don’t think you would, but you’re secretly an arrogant person.]
[At first I fought for my reputation.]
[later?]
[It was still for me later. For Kang Ho-in, and my desire to protect Kang-ho was ultimately for my own good.]
[I am also secretly humble.]
[ha ha ha. You’re just using the word ‘jagi’.]
[The guys’ editorial is too long.]
[Now then, shall we have a game for the first time in a while?]
Cheonma and I stood still and stared at each other. Even though I was born as a Byeokridan, I met many experts and overcame many hardships.
However, there has never been a more tense moment than this current fight, where no matter how you fight, you will not die.
He is the enemy of my life.
Fighting your rival and losing once in a while? That doesn’t happen. Because that is truly an act of ignoring the other person. Even if I fight a thousand times, I will fight with my best and win them all.
I was the one who moved first.
From beginning to end, my movements were the secret techniques of Seonhak that reached great heights.
The martial arts that Cheonma used against me was a deadly weapon. It was the strongest magic attack among the martial arts techniques he knew. The Fist of Death and Death was truly a powerful fighting technique.
Our movements were fast but precise, rough but classy. Even the slightest movement, such as lifting a finger, was not without reason. It was fierce yet elegant.
And just like that, the fight with the Cheonma ended.
The result was my victory. It didn’t last long and it wasn’t a close match. With the Seonhak’s secret techniques properly applied, victory and defeat were achieved in about twenty seconds.
Through my interactions with him, I was able to truly understand.
[It is clear that the Seonhak Secret Art was a better martial art than I thought.]
I knew I would win, but I expected it to be a much harder fight than this. But I won much easier than I thought.
Cheonma did not make any excuses or excuses for his defeat. He also seemed to have expected this to happen.
[Do you know that now?]
His true value was revealed when he fought against someone as strong as the Heavenly Demon.
In other words, after killing chickens, I was able to find out that this knife was originally a knife for killing cows.
[Where did you learn it?]
[Why is there so much interest in Seonhak secret arts?]
[Because I think it’s a great martial arts skill.]
[Still, the martial arts that killed you was Chuhonsura swordsmanship.]
After a moment, the Heavenly Demon spoke.
[Yes, Chuhonsura swordsmanship is amazing. Especially that last herbal meal was truly incredible. But… … Chuhonsura swordsmanship is an imperfect martial art.]
[what?]
I was startled by the unexpected words. This is because I felt that the Heavenly Demon was speaking the truth.
[I kept feeling it when I was fighting with you in the past. I could die like this. But it never occurred to me that your swordsmanship was perfect. You did that, right? The last herbivore is so dangerous that you too have to risk your life.]
[It did.]
[Is it still the same now?]
The Cheonma was so sure that she continued speaking without listening to my answer.
[That is proof of imperfect martial arts. You covered up that imperfection with your individual capabilities. If someone other than you had used Chuhonsura swordsmanship, they would all have been cursed. In particular, no one will ever succeed in the last herbivorous meal.]
I just listened to him in silence. The Heavenly Demon continued again.
[In short, your genius in martial arts overcame the imperfection of herbivorous skills.]
I thought maybe that was the case. It’s an idea I’ve had at least once.
[It could be the opposite.]
[Opposite?]
[It may be that martial arts are so perfect that our level cannot keep up with that perfection.]
[Is this a positive thing? Or are you stupid?]
[This is the part we are not sure about.]
Cheonma wasn’t sure either. But at least he did it himself.
[Anyway, I think that when looking at the martial arts itself, the Seonhak secret art is superior.]
[Is Seonhak’s secret technique more perfect?]
[okay.]
[Why are you saying this? Helping me will only bring me closer to death.]
[I’m not helping you, I’m just teaching you a lesson. Isn’t it the job of a master to teach a trick when he sees a trick?]
I chuckled.
The Heavenly Demon hinted.
[I have a favor to ask.]
[Something?]
[Take me to the place where I learned the secret art of Seonhak.]
I didn’t ask why. Because it was very meaningful for Cheonma to have a question about martial arts.
[Okay, let’s go.]
martial arts,
