Taejonbirok Volume 1 Episode 9
Chapter 3 – A Wrongly Connected Relationship (2)
Wi Yeon-ho turned his head and looked for a way out.
I couldn't understand why I had to have this conversation with a ghost, not a human.
“Three hundred years! Three hundred years have passed? No, so you’re saying that no one has come to see me in the three hundred years that have passed? Even though I so kindly provided a way for them to come to me!”
“…….”
Wi Yeon-ho slowly stepped back.
From what I've heard, it seems like he wasn't a very welcomed person around him even when he was alive.
“Anyway, that’s it for me.”
“Stand there!”
A firm voice caught Wei Yanhui.
“……I told you I’m not learning.”
“There is no one but you!”
“It’s okay.”
“If you just leave, I’ll just spend my time like this and disappear! No one has come for three hundred years, so if not you, who else will?”
That makes sense.
But it had nothing to do with Wi Yeon-ho.
Besides, wouldn't it be a good thing for the world if ghosts disappeared?
I wanted to say that, but it was too cruel to say it in front of the person involved.
Isn't he the polite and kind Wi Yeon-ho?
“Then, when I meet the descendants of that Baekga clan, I will tell them to come here.”
“……Can you help me find it?”
“If you live, you may meet someone by chance.”
“Okay.”
Bo-ok spoke with a serious tone.
“Why! Why don’t you learn! Do you find my ignorance funny? When I was alive, everyone considered me the best swordsman in the world!”
“I’ve never heard of it.”
“……Well, it’s been three hundred years.”
Wi Yeon-ho turned his head with a frown.
If the great warriors were forgotten after three hundred years, the legends of Jang Sam-bong and Dharma Master would not have been handed down.
Even if you don't have the level of martial arts knowledge of a great master, if you have some level of recognition for your abilities, you may have heard of them. In martial arts, legends about such great masters are often passed down.
However, Wei Yanhu had never heard the nickname Gwanggeom even once.
Then wouldn't it be obvious?
He's a swindler with only words.
“And even if you were to teach me some great knowledge, I wouldn’t really want to learn it.”
“Why!”
“Well… it takes thirty years of training. Do you think that’s crazy?”
“If you can become the best in the world with thirty years of training, isn’t that a very short period of time? Considering your age, you will become the best in the world before you turn fifty! Do you know how great this is?”
“But that means you have to train until you’re fifty.”
“Of course! If you become the best in the world, all kinds of fame, fortune, and honor await you. If you can get it with thirty years of training, it’s a bargain.”
“Hey, I just want to live comfortably before I turn 50.”
“…….”
Bo-ok was speechless.
No matter how much I remain in the mindset, I never once thought that I would be in a situation like this.
Who is he!
Isn't it the light sword that reigns alone and proudly in the world?
Why did he have to suffer like this!
But the reality was disastrous.
“If you become the best in the world, you can easily make money!”
“There is a lot of money in my house.”
“That’s all! All kinds of beauties will follow you! A man has to be successful.”
“What good is it if you follow women after they’re over 50? They’ll all be grandmothers.”
Even though she's a grandmother, she looks young because she learned the art of drinking, you idiot!
And not just the grandmothers, but also the young ones follow!
I wanted to talk, but this was something that was not something I could bring up out loud.
“Uh… and people will look at you with respect.”
“I don’t have to accept that. I’m a bit shy.”
The logic of the light sword was neatly destroyed.
“Kwaaah! It’s noisy! You have to learn! You have to learn! You have to learn no matter what!”
Wi Yeon-ho got up from his seat.
“Then I’ll be going now. Take care.”
“Do you think I’ll let you go that easily?”
At that moment, the ceiling of the cave that Wei Yanhu was heading to came down to the floor.
thud!
A huge stone gate collapsed between the cave where Wiyeonho was and the cave where it is now.

"uh?"
Wi Yeon-ho looked back.
The jewel emitted a bright light.
“Hahahahaha! How is it! It’s a stone gate the size of a sheet of paper! With your abilities, you wouldn’t dare lift or break it! But if you learn my martial arts, you’ll be able to cut through that stone gate like it was a piece of paper!”
“……Can’t you just open it?”
“No way! You idiot! What are you going to do now?”
Wi Yeon-ho sighed.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do.”
visor!
Wi Yeon-ho's sword was pulled out.
“Huh! I told you that you can’t cut that stone gate with your abilities!”
“I guess so.”
Wi Yeon-ho slowly approached the stone gate.
"fault!"
Wi Yeon-ho jumped into the air and stabbed the upper part of the stone gate.
visor!
But strangely enough, there was a sharp metallic sound and the sword bounced off.
"to?"
“Hahahaha! Did you think it would be empty since the stone gate came down from there? You idiot! I’m on top of your head! I knew that, so I reinforced the area with eternal iron!”
“Hmm…….”
“Now, bow down to me obediently and learn my sword! If you practice for exactly thirty years, I will teach you how to cut stone inscriptions as if they were pieces of paper!”
“Thirty years?”
“That’s right! I’ve seen this a lot too.”
"okay."
Wi Yeon-ho approached the stone gate with his sword in hand.
“I told you it’s useless!”
"i know."
Wi Yeon-ho slowly raised his sword and lowered the stone gate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
But there was only a small scratch on the stone gate.
The stone gate was probably at least a jang thick, but it was right to assume that there was no way to cut it with a sword.
“Hehehe, I give up now…….”
That's right.
That's right.
Gigigigig.
“What are you doing?”
Wi Yeon-ho did not answer, but lowered the stone gate with a steady motion.
That's right.
“What are you doing?”
“Can’t you tell if you look? It’s a cave.”
“You’re digging an oyster?”
“No matter how hard it is, it is still a stone. If you scratch it with iron, it will get scratched a little. If you scratch it consistently, it will eventually break through.”
“It’ll take a long time, right?”
“Would it take thirty years? At most, it would take a year. At the fastest, it could be over in a month.”
“……Are you going to do that for a year?”
“Haha, that’s an interesting statement. The one who said to cultivate for thirty years.”
“There is something to be gained from practicing.”
“There is something to be gained from this too.”
“What do you gain from that!”
“Twenty-nine years of freedom.”
“…….”
Bo-ok said no more.
I'm sick of it.
Where in the world can you find a guy like this?
Baek Mu-han was now completely caught up in Wei Yan-ho.
An ordinary lazy person would never think of digging into a stone gate as thick as a zhang just to avoid practicing.
But Wei Yanhui was not just a lazy person.
He was the world's biggest lazy bum.
There is a common prejudice that when you say lazy, you are too lazy to think about anything, but when it comes to someone like Wi Yeon-ho, it is a different story.
When laziness exceeds a certain level, it requires a high level of judgment.
Being able to do exactly what you need to do at exactly the right time will give you a little more time to rest.
Wei Yanhu knew that fact all too well.
The best thing he can do in this situation is to waste one year of his time, thereby gaining twenty-nine years of idle time.
It could be said that it was a truly rational decision.
That's right.
That's right.
“Are you really going to sell all of that?”
"sure?"
“It’s going to take a really long time.”
“You worry about me so much.”
“……And what if it collapses? If I move even a little, my life will be lost.”
“If I stay here, I’ll die anyway. If I’m going to do it, I’ll risk my life on something that has a chance.”
Baek Mu-han ended up raising both hands and feet.
This guy was completely out of touch!
He was a man who seemed impossible to persuade.
“Hey, don’t do that. Why don’t you learn my martial arts? Then you’ll be able to get out really easily!”
“Haha, it seems like you don’t know what ‘easily’ means.”
“Ugh!”
Baek Mu-han felt like he wanted to shed tears of blood at his first ever miserable defeat.
“Don’t you have any dreams or hopes? I’m going to teach you the best martial arts in the world! Don’t you want to become the best in the world?”
“You call that talking?”
“Are you saying you have no dreams?”
“No. Of course I want to. I really want to be the best in the world.”
“Yes! Of course you would be like that! Then what’s the problem? I’ll give you that martial arts! I’ll definitely make you the best in the world!”
Wi Yeon-ho said calmly.
“That’s true, but……”
"huh?"
“I hate training.”
Baek Mu-han was speechless for a moment.
It took him a while to interpret what he had heard.
The shock that Wei Yanho's words gave Baek Muhan was so great that he had to waste time interpreting a simple two-word sentence.
Unmanned!
That guy named Muin!
You don't like training!
You hate training, so you're going to give up on becoming the best in the world!
“What are you talking about! Isn’t it obvious that in order to learn martial arts and become stronger, you have to go through hardships that cut to the bone?”
“Yes.”
“If you can overcome that, you can become the best in the world.”
“I don’t like that.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to become the best in the world?”
“I want to be!”
“Then you should practice!”
“I don’t like that.”
“No, definitely…… I want to become the best in the world…….”
“Yes! I want to!”
“Then training…….”
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.
“I don’t like that.”
“…….”
Baek Mu-han was speechless.
“I want to become the best in the world, but I don’t want to go through the hardships of cutting my bones. I just want to train moderately and become stronger, and that would be great.”
"her……."
Baek Mu-han felt like cursing the heavens.
Who would have thought that after waiting for three hundred years, the person I met would be like this!
Baek Mu-han swore that he could never remember meeting a human being with such a rotten mental state.
“And thirty years? To have to live in this dark cave for thirty years? That’s truly horrible.”
Baek Mu-han felt like he wanted to beat this pathetic guy to death right away if he could.
But that couldn't be done.
If Wi Yeon-ho died, there was no telling when someone would come to this cave.
Then, Baek Mu-han could have disappeared in loneliness without ever meeting anyone again.
He didn't have much time left.
“Then how much do you want to learn?”
"yes?"
“……If thirty years is difficult, I would consider shortening it a little.”
“Are you trying to teach me roughly?”
“How could that be! Learning my martial arts means you will carry my name on your shoulders. If I were to teach you martial arts in a half-baked manner, it would end up tarnishing my name as well!”
“Hmm.”
Wi Yeon-ho was slightly troubled.
But before that, there was something I had to point out.
“But is it true that it’s strong?”
