Episode 634 There are defeats that are more valuable than victories. (4)
“therefore… … .”
Baekcheon, who was talking calmly, suddenly turned his head to the side.
‘uh?’
Jo Geol and Yoon Jong looked at him with puzzled eyes. But I couldn’t ask what was going on right away. Because Baekcheon’s face was so serious.
‘What’s going on?’
“accident?”
At that time, Tang Soso’s voice was heard from behind.
When I turned around, I saw Yu Iseol with a face similar to Baek Cheon’s, with her eyes fixed on one side. And Dangsoso is tilting her head with eyes filled with puzzlement.
‘What are you looking at?’
Baekcheon and Yuiseol were looking at the same place. Toward the shaman camp beyond the off-stage.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong scratched his cheek at Baekcheon’s soft call. Cheongmyeong stared at the shaman with strange eyes for a moment, then the corner of his mouth curled up as if twisted.
“this… … “It looks like a pretty big guy is coming.”
The energy I felt was different from before. Even though he didn’t say anything in particular, his presence was clearly conveyed as he weighed down his son-in-law.
“Are you saying you want to show me at least once?”
There was nothing bad. At least on the volcano side.
The voice in the air was extremely cold. His voice was so unbelievable that it was directed at capital punishment and criminals.
They couldn’t get angry in the middle of nowhere as an elder just because they heard something like that. But it wasn’t Heosanja. Uncontrollable anger bloomed on his face.
“this guy! “What nonsense is that?”
A stern scolding flew in, but the color of the sky’s face did not change at all. He responded rather calmly.
“That’s why you didn’t tell me that, death penalty.”
“… … .”
“For a warrior, inaction cannot be everything, but it should never be lacking.”
Heo Sanja bit his lip tightly.
It’s not like he doesn’t know that those words are referring to him.
“I suffered this disgrace because I neglected my usual training and only focused on catching. “What on earth would the disciples see and learn from?”
“Have you said everything?”
Heo Sanja’s blue, life-filled gaze and the relaxed gaze of empty space were intertwined. What broke the tense tension was a low sound of laughter in the air.
“There is nothing to be so angry about. “Shouldn’t you be thankful that I focused solely on martial arts?”
Heo Sanja covered her lower lip and clenched her fists.
‘He’s like a naked thunderbolt.’
Shaman elders are eccentric.
At first glance, it may sound strange to say that Taoist practitioners are eccentric. But this was an undeniable, obvious fact.
Too much of anything makes it just as bad as too little. The temperament of those who have been unable to pursue strength throughout their lives and are now continuing their asceticism to find something of their own cannot be soft.
That is why even shamans do not try to mess with elders.
However, Heogong was especially eccentric among the shaman elders.
Although he was born with an extraordinary talent for the sword that no one could deny, he was shunned by his fellow executioners, so there was no need to explain further how extreme his temperament was.
“Jang Mun-in must have given you an order! “Why are you so late?”
“It’s not really late. “It arrived a long time ago.”
“Then why did you come now?”
“I just watched.”
“what?”
Heo Gong slightly turned his head and looked at the Muja ships. All the innocent ships that met the gaze of the empty space lowered their heads and avoided gaze as if they were shameless.
“That’s how pitiful the recluse became while I was taking my eyes off him.”
“… … This guy… … .”
Heo Sanja gritted his teeth.
Although it was lumped together with the word ‘recluse’, it was because I knew that it was actually a criticism of Heo San-ja, who was more interested in external activities than devoting himself to martial arts, and by extension, Jang Mun-in, who encouraged such a trend.
“What right does a guy buried in the depths of his mind who only does what he wants to say such things?”
The sky slightly raises its hand.
It meant that he did not want to fight over this issue.
“Don’t get too excited. “Isn’t that why you came here?”
“… … .”
“but.”
The sky turns its head and looks toward the volcano.
“I was wondering if there was something fun to be done by calling me, but the only thing I found out was scaring the children of other families… … .”
There was a hint of bitterness on his lips.
“It’s a shame. This is truly unfortunate. He lived and did this and that, saying that it was necessary for becoming a recluse. “It looks like something didn’t work out as well as you thought, death.”
Heo Sanja’s tightly closed jaw bulged.
He and Heo Do-jinin agree that the reputation of shamans should be raised and their influence spread throughout the world.
However, not all shaman elders agree with that idea.
Rather, a greater number of elders are expressing the opinion that we should focus on cultivating the original Taoism and devote ourselves to martial arts a little more. This was a deep chasm and an age-old conflict that had been dug like a file within the shaman.
If you start discussing the matter again, the words will become endlessly long.
“Space.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“I know what you want to say. But now is not the time to talk about such things. “You too can’t admit that the shaman’s sword is placed under a volcano.”
At Heosanja’s words, the sky tilted its head crookedly with a cold face.

“At least… … .”
“… … .”
“That won’t happen as long as my head is attached.”
Heo Sanja’s head nodded.
Because of this disposition, Heo Do-jin sent the empty sky here.
The elders of other shamans would not be willing to mix hands with young Hwasan disciples, no matter how much their reputation as a monk was at stake.
But empty space is different.
He won’t particularly care if the shaman’s name is placed under the volcano. However, he could never stand hearing people say that the shaman’s sword was not as good as the sword of the volcano.
‘No matter what his personality is, his skills are certain.’
Heogong is one of the youngest among the elders. The age difference between me and Mujin is only ten years. However, his skills surpassed all other executioners.
– If you can throw away that arrogant and eccentric nature and become a little more tolerant, one day you will be able to become the best swordsman among shamans. I am the one trapped inside myself.
This was Heo Do-jin’s evaluation of the void. Anyway, such a greeting came, so it wouldn’t be that difficult to at least show the shaman’s power to that volcano.
As if Heogong also knew his mission well, he got to the point without delay.
“I don’t want to waste any time. “I’ll leave right away.”
“wait.”
Heo Gong narrowed his eyes at Heo Sanja’s words and gave him a disapproving look. However, Heo Sanja cut it straight with a calm voice.
“The dance isn’t over yet. No matter what, it is embarrassing for an elder to go out to a meeting with Lee Dae disciples.”
“Are you embarrassed?”
The sky snorted, ignoring face, as if it was dumbfounded.
“Because you cling to such nonsense, you are being disgraced like this, death penalty!”
“… … .”
“I have suffered all kinds of embarrassment, but what more formality do I need here? Are you saying that it is embarrassing for an elder to deal with this great disciple, but that it is okay for first generation disciples to deal with him?”
“… … .”
Heo Sanja, who was speechless, closed his mouth and the empty space shook his head.
“Seonjae. “It is a pre-existence.”
Heo Gong muttered mockingly and then looked at the unmanned ships and asked.
“What do you think?”
“… … .”
“What do you think of those of you who have become the first disciples of a shaman and cannot even show their strength to the second great disciples of Hwasan?”
Hearing those words filled with subtle anger, the innocent ships lowered their heads with shameless expressions.
“Pathetic things.”
A clear sneer appeared on the lips of the air.
“So, who will step forward now? Who will step up and play the clown and achieve victory? “Tell me something.”
“… … .”
“hurry!”
As the air cleared, the heads of the unmanned ships lowered further.
“Mujin.”
“… … “Yes, Elder.”
“Would you like to come forward?”
Mujin was unable to answer readily.
He also knew that the shaman’s honor would not be restored just because two more disciples came forward and defeated two more great disciples of Hwasan.
That might be a worse shame than defeat.
“I guess I didn’t pay enough attention to the monks to achieve my sword. “I could never have imagined that these so-called shaman’s disciples would show such pathetic behavior.”
“… … “I’m sorry, Elder.”
“As soon as I return as a shaman, I will first fix your rotten mental state.”
After catching a glimpse of his disciples with his extremely cold eyes, Heogong suddenly turned around.
“If you want to play like a clown, do whatever you want. But I hope you don’t make me wait too long.”
At those words, Heo Sanja let out a groan.
He must leave visible results. That’s what he came here for.
However, winning two more times does not significantly change the result. Considering that their morale is rarely rising, it might not be a bad idea to drive a wedge into them at this point.
“Space.”
“yes.”
“instead… … “You have to press it firmly.”
Heo Gong curled up the corner of his mouth at Heo Sanja’s request.
“It looks like you’ve forgotten who I am, brother.”
It was indeed a cheeky remark, but at this moment, it sounded more trustworthy than anything else in the world.
Heo Gong flicked his sword and stepped forward.
“I will inform the young chicks of Hwasan that they are still a hundred years away from overcoming the shaman.”
He Sanja nodded and took a step back.
Mujin, who was looking at the back of the sky leisurely heading towards the off-stage, opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“Elder.”
Heo San-ja, who caught a glimpse of Mu-jin, said as if he felt sorry.
“I feel sorry for you. “I should have given you a chance to show inaction.”
“I am okay. However, is it really okay for Elder Heogong to step forward? … .”
“Are you worried?”
“… … Honestly, yes.”
Even among shamans, no one asks the sky for guidance.
It’s not because he’s weak. This is because, unlike a Taoist, he is very cruel in his hands and has a disposition that does not consider the other person’s situation.
If that’s what’s happening inside the shaman, it can be resolved somehow. However, if the opponent is from a different faction, problems can arise.
“Nothing to worry about.”
“but… … .”
“Could it be that Jang Mun-in didn’t even think about it and sent the air?”
Mujin closed his mouth.
Certainly, Jang Mun-in would have thought the same thing. Nevertheless, if you send it into the air, your intention is one of two things.
One thought that it would be possible to definitely control the empty space to prevent it from using its hands too much… … Otherwise… … .
“Sometimes a child who runs wild without knowing the extent of it needs to be beaten.”
“… … .”
“As an adult of the same Taoist school, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to break the bridge of one’s nose. “It would be good medicine for volcanoes.”
Heo Sanja quietly chanted the Taoho.
But Mujin had to sigh inwardly.
‘Is that really a rod for correct guidance?’
Or is it a fit of violence that strikes out of fear of future generations coming up against them?
But I couldn’t bear to ask this. All I could do was look into the empty space on the non-stage and hope desperately.
‘please… … .’
I hope you won’t be disappointed by the recluse any more.
