Chapter 77

Episode 77. It’s time to rest.

Cheongwoon sword Namgungcheon suffered large and small cuts on his shoulder and both arms due to the sword dance with Yeonjeokha.

Namgung-jin, a swordsman who stamped his feet while watching him faint, left alone, saying, “Since I was entrusted with escorting the corps in the name of Changcheondae, I must take responsibility until Nakyang.”

Of course, I felt the sincerity in the attitude of Obongsanchae towards Namgungcheon and believed it.

Namgungcheon did not wake up until evening.

A member of the Hajia village councilor said it was because he was exhausted and even shed a lot of blood.

After dinner, Namgungcheon squatted down in front of the room where he slept.

He tore his hair out feeling guilty for hurting Namgungcheon.

Shenyanggak, who was passing by, saw him and quietly approached him.

“Don’t beat yourself up too much, Confucius. It happened in a trance for both of them.”

“I am crazy. Stop fighting and be in a state of trance.”

“It’s unfortunate that Confucius Namgung was hurt, but it’s a blessing to everyone.”

“Oops, if I receive the blessing twice, I’ll die right away.”

“Hehe, do you know that there are only one or two people whose dream is to fall into a trance? I don’t know, but both of you must have accomplished quite a bit.”

“Achievement is bullshit. The winning sword still doesn’t work.”

“Still, how about crossing the boundary between herbivorous and non-vegetarian? Isn’t everyone with a sword aiming to liberate themselves from herbivore?”

“Are you crossing the border? I?”

“Yes, Confucius’ swordsmanship has changed a lot. Even though he wielded it lightly, it contained the essence of herbivore. Did you really have no feelings?”

“well. To put it bluntly, the pressure of ‘I have to start eating’ has disappeared.”

“Have you ever felt pressure?”

“I learned it, so I have to use it well. But in the end, cutting a knife is a simple thing. Is there more than stabbing and slashing? Shall we call it a Manryu-gwijong? The sense of duty disappeared when I realized that herbivorous food is also stabbing and cutting after all.”

“You really did. Try the sword again tomorrow. It will be very different from before. Only those who have tasted the bone marrow of herbivores can cross herbivores, but I did not know that Confucius had already reached such a level.”

“Foot! bone marrow? Old Sim, were you close with Sook-su in the past? What bone marrow did you taste? It’s funny anyway.”

“I used to help out in the kitchen when I was young.”

“Did you do anything?”

“Because I had to do anything to make a living.”

Yeon Jeok-ha’s gaze at Shenyang Pavilion softened.

Hearing his past, he seemed a little humane Madou.

“So I’m going back and forth between herbivorous and non-vegetarian, right?”

“yes. I can’t believe the state of Confucius. It’s really impossible for someone to surpass herbivore already at that age. Even if you learned swordsmanship from inside your mother’s belly, you couldn’t do that. Is it because you learned it yourself from Gucheonhyeonnyeo?”

“Maybe.”

“Then what about that ignorant inner skill? No matter how much you have developed all nine hundred characters, isn’t it possible only with Jingi Tonap?”

“I got a lot of food from Gucheonhyeonnyeo.”

“Elixir?”

“No, dry fire and water.”

“You said it was sweet when you ate it?”

“huh.”

Shenyanggak’s brows furrowed.

I don’t know how much to believe, but the expression on the younger brother’s face was serious.

“Confucius.”

“huh?”

“I think you’d better not say that to anyone else.”

“why?”

“Because they might think it’s a lie or say that Confucius is crazy.”

“Is that so too?”

“omg! Could it be that you said that without knowing?”

“Then do you think I am stupid?”

“All right. Where did you meet Gucheonhyeonnyeo?”

“In the mirror.”

Namgungcheon felt that mediation was impossible in the calm voice of Yeonjeokha.

“okay. I also respect your wishes. I will not associate you with Waryongjang. If he had found you in the warehouse three years ago, the Namgung family would have cut ties with Waryongjang. It’s clear that the relationship is in and out...”

“Sister... are you doing well?”

“Yeoni is the same as before and now. Unlike me, he is quiet. haha. Ouch, it hurts.”

Namgungcheon, who was laughing with his upper body moving, lightly touched his arm.

It seems that he moved inadvertently and irritated the wound.

“I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t intentionally hurt you. I said I was careful, but I lost my mind for a while later.”

“No, it’s okay. Thanks to you, I also got a chance. I got the same effect as after ten years of closed-door training, but how bad is the injury? I feel a little more confident now.”

In fact, Namgung-cheon was depressed after the fall of his family. Even if I tried to take revenge, I couldn’t get enough of it, so I was more frustrated. But now it’s different. His self-confidence, which had collapsed as his inaction rose, was restored a little.

“By the way, do you intend to continue living alive?”

“I don’t know. I’ve already descended seven out of five bongs and ten gigs. I don’t really have anywhere to go...”

Namgungcheon looked at Yeonjeokha with pitiful eyes.

If Namgungse had been fine, he would have asked to go with him.

However, now that he was living with his ancestors, he had nothing to say.

“Isn’t that it? Petty thieves are beaten and branded on their faces, but great swordsmen are called heroes. Can’t you tell just by looking at Pacheon Demon-kun right now? No matter what you do in the future, no one will dare to call you a thief.”

“really?”

“of course. Who will curse you for being a thief in front of you? I don’t know if it’s from behind. Wow!”

Namgungcheon stopped talking and laughed.

It was clear that the Justice League would only pay attention to the inaction of the younger enemy.

There’s nothing good about messing with the masters of the green forest in front of a formidable enemy called the famous school.

“Actually, I don’t really care about that. The green life seemed to be okay too. If you treat him like a thief, he acts like a thief, and if you treat him like a hero, he becomes a hero.”

“A smart idea. Seonghyeon also said, ‘Treat others the way you want to be treated’. If you plant beans, you will get beans, and if you plant red beans, you will get red beans.”

I shook my head in a row.

It seemed a little strange, but I could definitely feel Namgungcheon’s warm heart.

***

The next day, Namgungcheon went down the mountain.

He left in a hurry because he was worried that Namgoong-yeon, who was waiting in Lukyang, would be worried.

After parting ways with Namgungcheon, it was difficult for her to catch up with her partner.

The time I spent sitting blankly increased.

Shenyanggak, which was worse than one day, went up to the first peak of Obongsan Mountain.

Yeonjeokha, who was sitting on a rock, muttered with a sad face.

“Old Sim, why do you keep snooping around these days? Did you even bury a jar of honey here?”

“Hehe, it can be. By the way, it seems that you have stopped training with the sword these days, right?”

“That doesn’t happen in a day or two. And when a 19-year-old uses swordsmanship, people curse at him for being arrogant.”

“Oops! no way He wouldn’t even dare to make eye contact.”

“You don’t even make eye contact? Then no. I don’t want to be such a heartless person.”

“Puhh. So, are you taking a break these days?”

“Until now, you practiced diligently without giving up. It’s time to get some rest.”

“Then, I hope you enjoy resting.”

“What’s the point of resting?”

“I told Confucius about sword swordsmanship, but I know that it is nonsense.”

“Yeah, you knew. I feel like an idiot for only believing in empty space.”

“So, I’m telling you, how about going on an outing at this time?”

“picnic?”

“Yes, I will go to Wudang Mountain and meet the Merchant of Heaven and Earth. If he is, he will teach you the basics of swordsmanship. And I’m going to go to Lukyang and see the famous Lukyang three seasons.”

“Three Seasons of Luoyang?”

“The soup dish called Su-seok (water head), peonies, and Yongmun Grottoes are called Lukyang Samjeol. If you want to rest, shouldn’t you rest properly?”

The young man’s eyes flashed with life.

If it was Luoyang, Namgoongse could naturally meet people, so it was a pretty good suggestion.
