Rebirth of The Heavenly Demon Chapter 3

—————————————

reincarnate(3)

The name of the young man I reincarnated is Byeokridan.

This is a place called Qubu (曲阜) in Shandong Province, which can be said to be the frontier of the central plains.

Our family is known as Byeok Clan Gate and is said to be a traditional famous family in Shandong.

His father is Byeok Do-jun (碧導俊). His mother is Lim Ye-hwa (林藝華).

Unlike Lim Ye-hwa, who had a lively temperament, her father, Byeok Do-jun, was a person with a calm and quiet personality.

I am the only child and I am the only child. If I were to guess, the reason why Byeokridan grew up to be a poor person was because he was an only son and raised gold and jade but ruined them.

I decided to accept this situation I was in.

For the first few days, I was hopeful that when I woke up, everything would go back to normal. But that didn’t happen.

Actually, being reincarnated as this young man wasn’t all bad.

What I gained by giving up the position of Murim Lord was ‘youth’. It is something precious that cannot be bought with money or power. Moreover, I was seventy years old at the time of my death, and I lived to be one year old.

Of course, it would have been better if this newly acquired youth had been real.

This guy, Byeokridan, was not only bad at interpersonal relationships but also at things related to martial arts. The descendant of the samurai family was twenty years old, but his training in Danjeon lasted only five years. Even that was like unclean trash. Moreover, the weak bones that had not been trained seemed like they would break if touched.

The only one that is of use is this bright yellow snout called Gwangdu. He had been my servant since he was young.

“Have you heard any rumors?”

“What rumor?”

“Jang Bo-do, a former master, appeared, or a two-headed spirit creature appeared… … “The leader is dead.”

It’s been a few days since I was reincarnated, so there might be rumors that I’m dead, but it was eerily quiet.

Of course, Shandong is very far from the headquarters of the Murim Alliance, so it may take time for news to arrive. If not, they may still be hiding my death. If the Murim Lord’s death becomes known, it will have a huge impact on the Gangho.

But you can’t hide it indefinitely, right? Well, I’m sure Galsaryang will handle it on her own.

“There are rumors about you, Master.”

“what?”

“The rumor is that he lost his mind after being beaten by Song So-jeo.”

I burst out laughing. Now that I think about it, it was the first time I laughed in a long time.

In my past life, I was a person who was truly stingy with laughter. Actually, it was a place where I couldn’t smile easily even if I wanted to. Because I lived in a place where favor became weakness.

“Is Song Sojeo that pretty?”

“Yes, you were beautiful even when you were young. When I saw you that day, I thought you were truly breathtakingly beautiful. Haven’t you seen the neighborhood guys lining up to get a glimpse of your face after hearing the rumor? Actually, that was what made the master even more excited and wanted to see the young lady. Anyway, it hasn’t been long since you returned, but there are rumors that you are the best girl in Shandong.”

A woman, a beautiful beauty at that.

I met many women in my past life. It was a really popular time, so of course a lot of women followed.

Among them, there was a woman who belonged to the four great beauties of the Jungwon region, and there was also a woman who was the most beautiful woman in the world at the time.

But I couldn’t share true love with any of them.

This is because he became such a great expert at such a young age. They treated me not as the male Cheon Ha-jin, but as Cheon Ha-jin, the best expert in the world. Although he smiled on the outside, he was afraid of me.

Women who were not afraid of me tried to use me to gain power. If not them, then their parents. I cut them all off and stepped on them.

Later, when he got older and had the discernment to choose a woman properly, he could not afford to date women because he was fighting against Sima’s extramarital affairs. It really was a time when the only time other than eating and sleeping was fighting.

“Even if you got beaten up, you still want to see Song Sojeo, right? “I understand, Master.”

“done.”

“What?”

“It’s okay to be a woman.”

“oh my god! Are you referring to Song So-jeo as a woman? It’s not just a woman, it’s Song Sojeo. Shandong Best Beauty Song Hwarin. “I’m Song So-jeo, the one who almost died while making a fuss because I wanted to see you!”

“Yes, that Shandong Cheilmi Song Sojeo is done. “Go and get a sword.”

“Why is it suddenly black?”

Because the sword is the only lover of my life.

“Why? “Is there a reason why the warrior is looking for the sword?”

“Unmanned, sword. “These are words that do not suit you at all.”

“Disobeying orders, punishment, accidentally killing a subordinate. how is it? Do these words suit me?”

“yes! “I’ll get it right away.”

Gwangdu covered his head and ran away.

It was a while later that Gwangdu brought the sword.

“I looked for it for a while. “He locked it in the warehouse.”

As soon as I held the sword in my hand, my mind became calm.

In my past life, I was a person called a martial artist. I used almost all martial arts, but if I had to choose one thing, it was swordsmanship.

The level he achieved with the sword in his later years was the level of advanced swordsmanship. With just a snap of my fingers, my sword flew as fast as light and pierced the other person’s heart.

But the level I wanted to achieve was beyond that.

The mind and body (心劍之境).

It is a state where there is no need for a physical sword.

A person who has reached the state of mind-pointing can freely use the invisible sword created by the mind.

According to tradition, there is nothing in the world that the sword Sim cannot cut. It is said that the stronger your mind is, the more powerful your mind and sword can be.

I wanted to see what the sword of my heart was like.

But in the end, he could not reach the state of mind and sword.

And I was born again. This time, I have a desire to go down a path that I have never been to in my previous life.

However, this is something that even Cheon Ha-jin, who was born with a perfect body optimized for martial arts, could not achieve, so will this Byeokridan be able to achieve it?

Slurp.

I slowly drew my sword.

“It was originally a good sword.”

Because it was neglected for a long time without proper maintenance, it is now very damaged.

“Of course, it’s a sword given to you by the head of the family directly on your fifteenth birthday.”

“You can’t believe you let this good sword rot like this. “What an idiot.”

“I’m glad you know.”

When I pointed my sword at him, he got scared and ran away.

“Just be stupid! Crazy is out of the question!”

“haha.”

Boy, don’t worry. This is the clearest state of mind since I was born again.

As I lifted the sword, my heart beat happily.

‘Now that I think about it, when was the last time you pulled out a sword?’

After defeating Sima Wei Dao and rooting out all the rebel forces within the Murim Alliance, he only drew his sword during training. In his later years, when he realized that he could not achieve the level of swordsmanship, he stopped picking up the sword at all.

Looking at the flashing blade of the sword, I steeled myself once again.

‘At least in this life!’

I will definitely achieve perfection of the heart and mind.

Many factors play a role in reaching a certain level.

Natural talent, hard work, unexpected enlightenment, and surprising talent.

In my past life, I experienced it all.

I had talent, worked hard, and gained talent and enlightenment.

As a result, he rose to the position of the best person in the world.

But one more thing was needed to reach the deep end.

It was just heavenly luck.

What was needed was luck, that is, heaven’s permission, to bring together the various factors mentioned above at the right time to achieve the result.

I will try again in this life.

We’ll find out whether that luck will be there in this life as well.

“Go and get a whetstone.”

“Whetstone? “You’re not trying to break my head with that, are you?”

“I’m going to polish my sword.”

“Who are you going to kill?”

When I glanced at Gwangdu as if glaring at him, he shuddered and took a step back.

“Don’t play around.”

“Why do you think it’s a joke? “Usually crazy people kill the closest people first, right?”

“How do you know that?”

How do you know? Because they are the people I have seen the most in my life. I have seen many people go crazy and commit murder on their families.

“But you just said that I am the closest person to you?”

“Did I do that?”

Gwangdu looked at me with a strange expression.

“In this case, let’s say it’s the person with the closest physical distance.”

Gwangdu said, scratching the hair below his ears.

“That’s even weirder.”

After a while, Gwangdu began sharpening the sword with the whetstone he brought.

Swish swish.

Gwangdu, who was watching my skillful hand movements, tilted his head.

“You are doing well. “When did you learn how to sharpen a sword?”

Since I have lived with swords my entire life, my sword-care skills were naturally superior to those of most ironbang craftsmen.

“If you’re so good at it, why didn’t you do it until now?”

“There is a time for everything.”

Gwangdu, who was quietly looking at me, asked again.

“Are you sure you’re okay? When a person suddenly changes… … .”

My touch paused for a moment. I raised my head and looked at him. Their eyes were full of concern for me. I’ve seen eyes like this recently.

This is the look Baekpyo gave me on the day I died. It contains the sincerity that comes out when you really care about the other person.

“Okay.”

Crunch crunch.

I started sharpening my sword again.

If it was me in my past life, there would be no meaning in what sword I would hold. A stick dropped on the ground or a treasured sword will produce the same result anyway.

No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a sword. I will kill you with my bare hands, and if I really need a sword, I will steal it from the other person and use it.

But now is the time when a good sword is needed. Because right now, my body was in a state where it was easy to die.

Gwangdu looked at me carefully and spoke carefully.

“You’re not trying to get revenge on Song Xiaoje with this sword, are you? “You should never do that.”

It was then. From behind, someone took over Gwangdu’s words.

“Is that really the reason?”

When I turned around, my mother, Lim Ye-hwa, was standing there.

Gwangdu suddenly stood up, bowed, and bowed.

“Madam, welcome.”

Gwangdu stepped aside and his mother approached.

“Aren’t you asking? Are you really trying to harm Hwarin?”

“That’s not the reason.”

“But why are you polishing your sword?”

This was probably the first time the mother saw her son polishing a sword. It was natural to have the same concerns as Gwangdu.

“From now on, I plan to practice martial arts in earnest.”

“you? “Martial arts training?”

My mother was surprised. Gwangdu next to her also opened her mouth wide.

“Gwangdu, what did he just say?”

“I do martial arts training.”

“Are you crazy?”

“yes! “I think we should call him a doctor or a demon exorcist or something.”

Would you have reacted like that if you hadn’t practiced martial arts on a regular basis?

Mother finally let out a deep sigh.

“As expected, you are trying to get revenge on Hwarin.”

My mother’s eyes had the power of a woman’s wife. But what stood above it all was a motherly love that could not be hidden by anything.

I had no children in my previous life.

There was a reason I couldn’t meet my loved one, and it was because I didn’t want to see my blood relatives get caught up in a power struggle.

Since she had no children, how could she know everything about her heart? Could it be that all she has gained in her seventy years is strength and wrinkles?

I could feel her sincerity for her son. This woman would be willing to give her life for her child.

“Would you please take a look at this sword?”

I held out the sword I had just finished polishing to her. When she examined her sword, she was surprised. Because she was so well groomed.

“I don’t know what I will do with this sword in the future.”

Her gaze moved from the sword to me.

“But at least this sword won’t be used to stab a woman in a prenatal marriage. It will not be used to persecute those who are weaker than me. “As a son, I promise you this.”

There was a strange look in her eyes towards me. It’s probably something she’s never heard from her son before.

To be honest, I felt sorry for her.

Because I wasn’t her son.

But I can’t tell her the truth because I feel sorry for deceiving her.

Because the truth doesn’t always lead to good results.

She will be unhappy when she finds out the truth. That her son was gone forever, leaving only a shell behind.

I don’t plan on telling her the cruel truth. No matter how this story that started when I became your son ends, never.

Until then, I plan to live as her son.

I took back the sword I had given her.

“Do not worry… … mother.”

After saying hello politely, I turned around and left. I could feel his worried gaze following me until the end, wondering how to accept my son’s change.

* * *

Another two days passed.

There was still no news of my death, and I was gradually adjusting to Byeokridan.

Through Gwangdu, I learned about the family members one by one.

I was told who was who and what their personalities were.

Thanks to my amazingly improved memory, I was able to remember everything after hearing it just once.

Actually, it was me who couldn’t adapt. To be more precise, my body.

It was very difficult to live as the best expert in the world and then as a member of the Byeokridan. I felt like I had gone from a general galloping through the wilderness on a Cheonli horse to a sloth riding on a turtle’s back.

Thinking that I had to do what I could right away, I went to the nearby mountain near my house.

I walked up a mountain path deserted by snow. Even though she was wearing fur and leather clothes, she shivered from the cold and nearly slipped several times while climbing. Truly, this is unthinkable if it were me in a past life. I don’t even want to think about how often I’ll have to say this in the future.

Near the summit, I found a small cave that could accommodate two or three adults.

I went in there and sat cross-legged.

The strength of the Danjeon is five years. Even that was an extremely murky piece of trash.

Fortunately, the mind method I learned, Cheonmuhosimgyeol, was a mind method of extremely high elevation and was the most outstanding mind method among the powerful players of the time. I don’t know if it was someone else’s body, but I was able to change the inner energy in my Danjeon to a sufficiently pure level.

He began to use Jingi according to the ruling of Cheonmuhosimgyeol.

After using Jingi, unexpectedly, Byeokridan’s veins were stronger than expected. It can’t help but be a fortunate thing.

Wooooow.

The huge sea called Cheonmuhosimgyeol began to cleanse the dirty history of Byeokridan, which had accumulated like clean water.

Jinki, Iljucheon, Leejucheon, Samjucheon… … Eventually, when I practiced the Seven Pillars of Heaven, the five-year internal energy changed into pure internal energy.

In the end, it was achieved in a short period of time, but it was by no means an easy task. It was the result of adding the deepest and pure heart of Cheonmuhosimgyeol to the heart of the greatest person in the world called Cheonhajin.

Now I have five years of pure inner strength.

My strength in my previous life was Sa Gapja. After using two hundred and forty years of internal energy, I couldn’t help but sigh when I saw that I had only five years of internal energy, but as my internal energy became pure, I was able to use the true energy, albeit weakly.

The task from now on is to increase endurance.

The good news is that in my previous life, I achieved great success.

As a result, I was able to eat fortune-telling at any time as long as I was conscious. You can do it while walking or even while eating.

In addition, the amount of inner energy created when investing the same amount of time was incomparably greater than that of regular meditation. It was at least three times more effective. If you attack the Imdogyang vein (任督兩脈), you will be able to see five times the effect, and if you go further, you will be able to see the effect ten times more.

What I will do from now on is to increase my strength without stopping. I plan to continue using Cheonmuhosimgyeol except when I am sleeping.

The next thing to do was to build up basic physical strength in earnest.

The basis of martial arts is internal energy, but before that, basic physical strength is the most important. If you have strong physical strength as a foundation, your internal and external skills will be more powerful.

When I came down from the mountain and returned home, Gwangdu came running to me.

“We’re in big trouble.”

I felt like it had finally come. It must be news of my death.

However, it was unexpected news that was different from what was expected.

“Song Moon-ju has arrived.”

“who?”

“These are the words of Song So-jeo’s father, Song Woo-gyeong.”

“If you came, you came. Why are you making such a fuss?”

“Because Sojeong Song is here too!”

Song Hwa-rin, during a prenatal marriage, Shandong Jeilmi, the woman who beat me up.

Although Gwangdu was a woman who would make a fuss, my heart was calm.

“You two have been waiting for us since a while. “Where on earth have you been?”

“Why am I looking for you?”

“Why? “You should go and apologize to Song So.”

“You’re the one who beat me up, right? “The apology should come from there.”

“This is the one who started the fight in the first place. “This is not the time. Let’s go.”

As if pushed by Gwangdu, I headed to the guesthouse.
