Worthless Regression Chapter 78

————————————==

< Shaolin-5 >

I see Shaolin.

I feel Shaolin.

I put down my spear and took off my armor. Seongmin Lee swung his old spear ceaselessly. The martial arts of Jihak, which was said to be the future of Shaolin, seemed endless. Jihak, who learned martial arts from all the monks of Shaolin and lived in spiritual medicine, martial arts, and deep enlightenment since childhood, could be said to be a living, breathing Shaolin itself.

Seongmin Lee could easily understand why Ambassador Bulyeong had entrusted his guidance to Jihak. Jihak, the future of Shaolin, was able to skillfully display the seventy-two martial arts of Shaolin. That meant that Jihak alone could take on the role of seventy-two warriors using seventy-two martial arts.

Nevertheless, Jihak was good at teaching. So far, Seongmin Lee has received instruction from two martial artists. Wijihoyeon and Baeksogo. To put it bluntly, Wi Jiho-yeon and Baek So-go were not great teachers. Wi Ji-ho-yeon, who was such an outstanding genius, was able to teach martial arts to Lee Seong-min, but he could not teach it properly to Lee Seong-min. The only thing Wijihoyeon could do for Lee Seong-min was to fill in the basic knowledge of martial arts that Lee Seong-min lacked and to teach him the basics of singing techniques.

It was the same with Baek Sogo. Lee Seong-min learned Muyeongtalhon from Baek So-go, but unlike Baek So-go, who wore Muyeong-talhon like a well-fitting suit, Lee Seong-min could not easily adapt to Muyeongtalhon. It was because of the prohibition against ‘heaviness’ that Lee Seong-min had in Mt. Since my body was heavy no matter how much I practiced, it was natural that it was difficult to learn the technique. In addition, because Baek So-go had a ban on voice and sound, he had many inconveniences in teaching martial arts.

But Jihak was different. Is it because he has been educated by all the monks of Shaolin since childhood? Jihak was also good at teaching. The problem was that there was a big difference between Ji-hak’s understanding, which had reached its current level through teaching, and Lee Seong-min’s understanding, but at some point, Ji-hak learned the ropes of teaching Lee Seong-min.

“The only way to make up for the lack of experience is to have many experiences.”

It is said that seeing is worth seeing before hearing. Jihak did not stop at showing. He repeated rubbing with Lee Sung-min every day until Lee Sung-min collapsed from exhaustion. Every time he performed a dance, Jihak changed the martial arts he performed.

How weak, insignificant, and lacking you are. Seongmin Lee sat down every day and felt sorry for him. Jihak was a genius. When Lee Seong-min collapsed due to shortness of breath, Ji-hak’s breathing was not disturbed at all. The martial arts that Lee Seong-min tried with all his might could not threaten Jihak. Jihak’s effortless attack pierced Lee Seongmin’s blind spot.

“Broaden your horizons. See more. Understand your opponent before understanding his or her martial arts skills. Martial arts is ultimately something you do with your body. No outcrop or atoll can escape him as long as he uses his body and weapons. If you are an expert in manipulating energy, you may be able to use energy to launch an attack that is invisible to your eyes, but even so, there are limits to your movements as long as you use your body and weapons.”

The sword, sword, and spear are straight weapons. Depending on how you use your joints and muscles and how you swing them, you can create illusions and illusions. Mix energy with it to create speed and weight, and draw afterimages to create atolls and atolls.

“Before trying to see the invisible, you must see the visible more clearly. Your senses are strangely tangled. My non-existent sixth sense is awakened, but my five senses are dull. The asceticism you have done has brought you to a high level, but it has also made you stagnant. “You learned to ride a horse before you even learned to walk.”

Jihak’s comments were extremely scathing. The penance he performed on the mountain of Mushi made Lee Seong-min a peak expert. However, the practice of blocking the senses destroyed Lee Seong-min’s senses. As my senses were blocked, my sixth sense opened up and I began to rely on it. Instead, Lee Seong-min’s eyes narrowed, his ears darkened, and his nose became dull.

“Lee Seong-min. “You’re not using everything you have.”

It was necessary to sharpen my dulled senses. Lee Seong-min was also aware that it was necessary, but he had not been able to do it properly until now. no. To be precise, it means ‘I didn’t do it.’

“It’s safe to say that the singing style that Lee Seong-min has learned is a world-class martial art. In the end, Ranachal is just a basic technique. If you can overcome rising martial arts skills with just the basics, why would martial arts exist? “The basics are nothing more than an aid to learning martial arts better.”

Ranachal was the basic technique that Seongmin Lee practiced every day. From a certain point, Seongmin Lee focused more on the practice of Ranna Chal than Gucheonmugeukchang. That too was an act of escape. Lee Seong-min felt anxious that the achievement of Gucheonmugeukchang was no longer increasing. I felt that my qualifications were insufficient to achieve this great martial arts feat.

So I ran away. Lannachallo is more familiar and easier than Gucheonmugeukchang, which is difficult to learn.

Namgoong Hee-won said this to Lee Seong-min. He is said to be at the level of a master when it comes to basic skills. But other singing methods are lacking. She said that Namgung Hee-won was because of her lack of experience towards him. Jihak made the same assessment.

“Why did you run away?”

But not anymore. Jihak would have been able to understand only that much if it had been a one-time dance, but Jihak was able to understand Lee Seong-min’s shortcomings as he continued to dance with Lee Seong-min.

“You are learning such an excellent singing technique. Why did you insist on the basics?”

“… “Because I wasn’t good enough.”

“So you gave up learning it? “Becoming a world-class swordsman by learning only the Samjae Sword Technique is something that people who have learned only the Samjae Sword Technique say in their dreams.”

Jihak’s face was cold as he said those words. Jihak was always kind, but he didn’t show that kindness as much as he did now.

“I am not criticizing those who only learned the Samjae Sword Technique as being foolish. Do you think they only learned the Samjaegeombeop because they wanted to learn it? Even if I wanted to learn other ascending martial arts, I couldn’t. It’s martial arts. In particular, the more excellent a martial art is, the more difficult it is to learn it if you do not have the talent. Yes, if you’re not lucky you won’t be able to learn it. Those who have not learned the Ascension Martial Arts… “Don’t you feel a thirst to learn ascending martial arts?”

Know. How intense the thirst is. In his previous life, Lee Seong-min learned second-rate martial arts. I have always thought that I want to learn more advanced martial arts. But he couldn’t learn it. Because I was unlucky.

“Lee Seong-min. You have acquired excellent martial arts skills through repeated performances. This means that most people learned martial arts from a young age, something they risk their entire lives to pursue. And yet, you gave up on learning that martial art and ran away because you were not good enough. why… Didn’t you try hard and work hard?”

Seongmin Lee couldn’t answer. Jihak sighed as he looked at Lee Seongmin’s gloomy wet face.

“… Let me put it bluntly. Seongmin Lee. “You are not a genius.”

know.

“It’s not that my intellect is outstanding. Learning and improving is not fast. but. But that doesn’t mean you should give up easily.”

know.

“I don’t know what you’re aiming at. but… I am. Seongmin Lee. “If you have an opportunity that others have been waiting for, I think you should put in just as much effort on their behalf.”

“… I know.”

Seongmin Lee sighed and nodded his head.

“I know I’ve been running away all this time.”

Even though I got the opportunity I had longed for, I ran away. How many times have you felt like you were not good enough?

“I don’t want to run away now.”

Seongmin Lee said. Jihak’s expression softened at those words. Jihak bowed his head while putting his palms together.

“The road to nothingness is long and endless. If you want to learn radish and become a martial artist, and if you want to see the end of radish, you must move forward without rest. We must not only know our shortcomings, but also acknowledge them and overcome them. We must despair, but we must not be swallowed up by despair. If you can’t fly, you have to run. If you can’t run, you have to walk. If you can’t walk, crawl, and if you can’t walk, try to crawl. It is important to hope and act like that.”

“Are you flying?”

“The world is wide. I thought I could fly on my own, but when I met Socheonma Wijihoyeon, I learned what kind of person truly has wings and can fly. I’m not flying. But I want to fly, so I want to fly.”

What about me?

What do larvae in the ground want? Do you wish to crawl out of the cold ground? I’d rather walk than wriggle and crawl. I’d rather run than walk. Rather than running, I want to have wings and fly.

The training in Shaolin was less difficult than the training in Mushi. There is no prohibition here, and there is no reward for prohibition or trials. But there was Jihak here. Jihak, who had a genius talent that could not be compared to Lee Seong-min, taught martial arts to Lee Seong-min.

For most of his life, Lee Seong-min learned martial arts alone. It was narrow. The world that Lee Seong-min saw when he was alone was very small. At Mt. Mshi, I felt the world change, but the size of the world did not change. As he came down Mt. Si, Seong-min Lee felt repeated defeat and despair. He learned how big the world is.

I see Shaolin. I feel Shaolin. It wasn’t enough. Lee Seong-min stood silently as he watched the dawn. The brightness of the morning sun coming up from the end of the mountain moistened Lee Seong-min’s eyes, and the cold dawn air made Lee Seong-min’s heart freeze. What you need to see and feel is not Shaolin. What was truly meant to be seen and felt was the world, not Shaolin.

The world is big and I am small. Just as a larva in the ground knows the black and cold darkness as everything in the world, so has Seongmin Lee. I don’t want to be a caterpillar. I don’t want to be a cicada either. I don’t want to know that my narrowed perspective is everything in the world.

I want to fly. Even though I have no wings, I dream of flying. Even though I have never flown, I dream of flying. Seongmin Lee took a deep breath as he looked at the dawn. That wide world… I want to fly. I want the small and insignificant ‘me’ to see the world.

The seasons change.

Daily life has not changed. Lee Seong-min mixed, mixed, and mixed with Jihak. At some point, the teachings of Jihak became actions rather than words. Instead of having a conversation, the martial artists talked to each other. Are you changing? It’s changing. Do you want to walk? I want to fly. What do you want to become?

whatever.

When eighteen turns nineteen. A French dialogue came out of the cave. It had been a little over half a year since Seongmin Lee had been living at the entrance of the cave. Until now, Seongmin Lee had never seen Ambassador Bulyeong come out of the cave.

“Oh no. “You have changed.”

Ambassador Bulyeong, who came out of the cave, had the same face as when I saw him half a year ago. He still looked like an old ghost rather than a Buddhist monk. Lee Seong-min bowed his head while looking at the smile that twisted his wrinkles like a bad boy.

“Is the frog in the well trying to get out of the well? With your martial arts skills, you could live happily in a well. “What do you wish for?”

“I want to see the world.”

“Giggle! Anyone can see the world. okay. “Anyone can see.”

Ambassador Bulyeong said that and stood with his back to me.

“If you are not satisfied with what you see and want to discuss the world. You will have to become a giant. “Do you want to become a giant?”

“I want to fly.”

“Giggle! The wind is high. Rather than becoming a giant and looking down, do you want to have wings and take the world under you? “You are too small to discuss him.”

“I know.”

Seongmin Lee smiled bitterly and nodded his head.

“But I want to dream.”

“Are you going to leave your dream as a dream?”

“I don’t want to leave it behind.”

“For half a year. “What did you do?”

Ambassador France asked. Seongmin Lee closed his eyes once. Things that had been done for half a year ran through Lee Seong-min’s head.

“I learned to crawl.”

“Feel so good.”

Ambassador Bulyeong shook his head and laughed.

“Now I want to learn to walk.”

Ambassador Bulyeong said so and went back into the cave. After looking at his back, Lee Seong-min turned around.

The dawn was brightening.
