Episode 42
“Since when have you been watching?”
“Before this move.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I felt like it was an important moment and I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“...The disciple is finally able to handle white lightning.”
“That’s amazing. “I had no idea that I would become a thunder spirit so quickly.”
“But there is something I want to ask you.”
“What are you curious about?”
“The teacher said that he would come to realize it naturally, but the disciple still has no idea what brain spirit is. “I don’t think anything has changed except that I learned how to handle white lightning.”
“Try luck.”
“......?”
“You will find out if you try.”
I obeyed Dokgo Woojin’s instructions and sat down and closed my eyes.
The energy that emanated from the dantian began to circulate through the blood vessels.
Around the time when I achieved Little Zhou Heaven, I realized one thing.
‘...It’s ridiculous.’
It has become possible to burn off the waste and toxins accumulated in the body with thunder energy.
The method was simple.
All I had to do was add the energy of thunder to the inner energy that moved through the blood path without hesitation.
‘This works?’
As the Zhou Heavens continued, the blood path became purer and the inner energy became purer.
Originally, it was a rough method that would have put the practitioner’s life as collateral, but the blood vessels strengthened by the supernormal ability of the White Lightning Divine Technique endured without hesitation.
After finishing the fortune telling, I got up from my seat, looked back at Dokgo Woojin with a bewildered expression, and asked.
“Did the White Lightning God Technique have abilities like this?”
“Are you surprised?”
“I think I understand now. “What does it mean to achieve brain spirit?”
“Not everyone who practices the White Lightning Divine Gong can experience such supernormal abilities. “Among our predecessors’ successors, there are many who have not achieved brain spirit.”
“Is it possible to arbitrarily remove impurities and toxins from the body? I’ve never heard of a martial art capable of something like this. “Isn’t it actually a metamorphosis?”
A body that had been strengthened and removed from impurities by practicing the White Thunder Godkong for a long time was no different from a body that had achieved transformation.
A martial arts technique that allows for artificial transformation.
If other martial arts people had heard this story, they would have laughed at me and asked what nonsense I was saying.
“It’s similar, but a little different. “The performance of the body strengthened by the supernormal abilities of the White Thunder Divine Technique cannot be compared to that of an ordinary warrior who has achieved transformation.”
“Huh...”
“The additional effect cannot be ignored. Not only will you be able to maintain your best physical condition at all times, but you will also not have to worry about minor illnesses.”
Dokgo Woo-jin’s remarks made me feel proud.
A laugh escaped my lips.
A conversation I had with him not long ago flashed through my mind.
[Anyway, I accomplished more than I thought. As long as I can utilize what I have properly, I won’t be too far behind if I fight the evil demon again.] [
No matter what, it’s not that bad.]
[I’m not really exaggerating. Didn’t you say that this is a story about when you can properly utilize what you have?]
[......?]
[If you achieve brain spirit, you will naturally understand it.]
I didn’t understand it at the time.
But I felt like I knew now.
‘I thought it was just a word expressing the level of martial arts.’
I was mistaken.
The brain mind was regarded as a point of attainment.
In reality, it was the opposite.
Brain Mind was the starting point.
Now that I have achieved brain spirit, there are endless possibilities before me.
‘If I can completely control the state, I might really be able to fight on equal footing with the demon of evil spirits.’
No, it may be possible not only to be equal but to overwhelm.
Dokgo Woojin looked at me with a complicated expression and muttered.
“You learn so fast that soon I might run out of things to teach you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone is looking at us with grim expressions.”
“Don’t worry about it. “They won’t harm us.”
“I’m not particularly worried about harm, but...”
“They have a strong closed nature and are strict about benevolence, but Tang family warriors are basically people who know honor.”
“.......”
It seemed that Dokgo Woojin had a different opinion from me.
In my memories, the warriors of the Tang family were cowardly and small-minded people.
How far did it travel like that?
“I meet my benefactor.”
A woman appeared in front.
She was a woman with impressive looks in a different way than Cheon Ga-ryeong.
Even though he was wearing a loose long robe, the curves of his body were clearly visible through the clothes.
Her long black hair was neatly tied behind her neck and a colorful butterfly decoration was placed on the top of her head.
Although he was not very tall, he exuded a strange sense of intimidation.
The hideous burns that covered half of his face added to his intense impression.
‘This is my first time seeing it in person.’
It was immediately apparent that she was a direct blood relative of the Sichuan Tang family mentioned in the letter delivered from Haomun.
Did you say Dang Seoyeon?
From what I heard, it seemed like I continued to try to contact Dokgo Woojin even after I became the contemporary successor to Cheonnoemun.
Since I visited him at his house rather than at the Hwangryongmugwan, he has never met me directly until now.
‘Anyway... are you a poisonous person?’
The woman seemed to have a peculiar, German-like aura of reluctance.
The Tang family was a military family with a very closed nature.
Only blood relatives can inherit the family’s martial arts.
Among them, those treated as visions could only be accessed by immediate relatives.
Even if they were direct blood relatives, not everyone could learn the vision.
‘Because she’s a female soloist. The opposition from those around me must have been formidable.’
A single woman cannot have children.
To be exact, you shouldn’t have children.
Because the poison is transmitted to the fetus, it causes the terrible experience of stillbirth.
I narrowed my eyes and muttered in my mind.
‘Why didn’t I see this person in my past life? There’s no way I wouldn’t remember a person with such clear characteristics.’
If it was a person I didn’t remember, it would be one of two things.
Either he died before I left Jamma-dong and started working as a strongman, or he was a person not worth remembering.
‘There’s nothing good about being tangled up in it.’
By my standards, as a demonic cultist in my past life, there were very few sane people in the Four Heavenly Tang Dynasties.
Even the simple-minded demon cultists did not want to have anything to do with the Tang family.
First of all, I am reluctant to use poison, but the family custom is so bad.
There was even talk that if you held a grudge against the party, you would never be able to eat with peace of mind for the rest of your life.
‘A normal human wouldn’t learn poisonous techniques.’
In the first place, the idea of injecting poison into the body to increase internal strength and raise the level of martial arts was strange.
In a way, isn’t it a martial arts that is more dangerous than a magic attack?
In fact, I knew that quite a few people died while practicing martial arts.
‘Not to mention if you are German.’
If you were the daughter of the Sacheondang family, you would have been able to find a way to become a master even if you didn’t have to become a German.
I knew it intuitively.
It was clear that the woman named Tang Seo-yeon was someone to be especially careful of among the crazy people in the Tang family.
After exchanging ceremonial greetings with her, I tried to urge Dokgo Woojin to leave immediately.
“Let’s go together.”
“......?”
However, things in this world do not always go as planned.
Even though we didn’t ask for it, Dang Seo-yeon, who sent the gatekeeper away, volunteered to provide directions.
She added with a faint smile on her lips.
“Right now, I also have some business to attend to my father, or rather, the head of the family.”
