Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 261

< Episode 86 Tracking (1) >

A state of bright brain flashes with blue light streaking all over the body.

This was the compliance of the brain.

In the case of Noekumcheondun, it can be said to be the unification of the sword and brain energy, but Noebyeokcheondun is based on my own acceptance of brain energy, so if my physical body cannot endure it, it is impossible to learn it.

It was made possible by something that entered my head.

My gaze naturally turned to Cheon-dun, who was holding a sword.

That voice that rang in my head.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing else besides Cheon-dun.

But Master Geomseon’s gaze was also directed at Cheondun, not me.

I tried to call him,

“Are you still stuck in the past?”

“What are you talking about?”

Master Geomseon shook his head at my question.

“It’s nothing.”

I was curious about what he was talking about, but I didn't ask any more questions.

But what is certain is that the owner of that voice is definitely Cheon Dun.

Perhaps because it was a being called a Dharma tool, it was clearly different from ordinary swords.

-Are you ignoring me? I'm starting to feel disappointed.

You know I didn't mean it like that.

Just like with the demon swords, it means that the power of the sword itself cannot be measured.

I didn't directly hold the sword and make contact, but after hearing that voice, I was able to control my brain.

As if he had granted it that power.

If I get the chance, I'd like to know why Cheon-dun kept silent until now and is only speaking now.

But that doesn't seem to be the case now.

Master Geomseon approached me and spoke in a calm voice.

“Now I’m finally ready to learn Brain Wall Heavenly Dung.”

The Master held the sword of the Dharma Gu Cheon-dun upside down and immediately stabbed the sword into the floor.

At that moment, blue sparks flew out from the ground and spread out in all directions.

-Pachichichichichik!

At the same time, the floor began to burn and lightning shot up backwards.

It was as if a dragon controlling lightning was ascending to the sky.

"iced coffee!"

The sight was truly spectacular.

“This is the eclipse of the Brain Wall. Then, shall we begin?”

I swallowed without realizing it.

There are three days left.

Will I be able to learn this in there?

* * *

Three days have already passed.

I didn't sleep for almost two days to learn the brainwashing technique.

I've just had about an hour and a half of deep sleep.

It wasn't a very long time, but I was able to get some exercise and replenish my stamina.

This was the top floor of Jeongyangjeon.

Seven of the seats were empty, and only Jeongyang Jinin was sitting on one stone seat.

Jeongyang Jinin opened his mouth while fanning himself with a large fan.

“Time really flies. It feels like I just got here the day before yesterday.”

I agree with that.

At first, it seemed like this time would never pass.

But as I began to receive teachings from various teachers, three years and eight months passed by in a flash.

It's really fun to learn something even when you're beyond the walls.

That's why I felt a bit regretful.

It even made me think that I would like to study more if I had the time.

-You must be a natural born Taoist. Why don't you become a monk now?

Not to that extent.

If you're like me, with a strong desire for material things and fame, and a strong attachment to worldly things, it's difficult.

At least the masters of the fuse are those who have let go of everything in the secular world.

I can't do that.

Anyway, I have to go back.

“It was short, but it felt long. Above all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers and to Jeongyang Jinin.”

Because it opened up a new world for me.

While training at Dohwaseon, I realized many things that were lacking beyond what I had learned.

I've been so busy with so many things going on that I've been overlooking them, but this has been a great opportunity for me.

“I’ve also learned a lot mentally. Hehehe.”

“……I feel embarrassed when you say that.”

People say nice things, but sometimes it seems like they can see right through you to a scary degree.

Jeongyang Jinin was said to be the leader of the eight Taoists here and the teacher of the seven Taoists.

That's why there are times when I feel more scared than other Taoists.

“I guess I should do one last check before I leave the fuse.”

"All right."

I gathered my energy at the words of Jeongyang Jinin.

And then slowly open the middle gate and move the innate energy throughout the body.

As I slowly increased my air power, Jeongyang Jinin focused on my face.

To be exact, he was looking into my eyes.

-There has been no change yet.

Sodamgeom said to me.

If what he says is true, he opened the shunt and there has been no change in his left eye yet.

Normally, the moment it opens, the left eye shines like gold.

But that's not the case anymore.

It was because Jeongyang Jinin had been taking care of the complexly entangled evil within his body for three years and had been treating his body with mysterious medicine.

It was possible because he was the most skilled in the art of fuse ignition.

Jeong Yang-jin said to me.

“Try to raise your spirits a bit more.”

Up to 6 stars it is still stable.

In that case, it seems like we can raise it a little more and increase its power up to 7 stars.

As the air power increased, Jeongyang Jinin watched closely.

It still seems okay.

I went straight to 8-star aerodynamics.

Then,

-It's changed. But still…

“I wish I had more time, but I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with this.”

Jeongyang Jinin smiled and said to me.

In fact, this alone is something to be thankful for.

Even if you only opened the mid-game, you had to fight with one eye closed, but now that there is no change even to the 7-star power, you can use the innate energy with peace of mind.

I expressed my gratitude to Jeongyang Jinin by taking a lottery ticket.

“Still, all of this is thanks to Jinin.”

“I wish I could completely control the unstable, but I can’t help it. If you change your mind even now, I can give you the Yongho Geumdan.”

At those words, I waved my hand and said.

“No. How could I receive it?”

The Dragon Tiger Golden Elixir given by Jeongyang Jinin.

Made from all sorts of magical ingredients, it was said to infinitely extend human lifespan.

In other words, Yongho Geumdan is said to be the elixir of longevity.

Receiving something like that was like being told to go on the path of a Taoist, to cultivate the Tao.

“Heh heh heh.”

He said it as a joke, knowing that I would reject him.

He and other Taoists would sometimes tell me to turn my back on the secular world and become their disciple, and I would feel extremely embarrassed every time.

“Please understand that this is not my path.”

“I know. But if you change your mind, just tell me.”

"All right."

“Then let’s start going now. Come here.”

"yes?"

Jeongyang Jinin gestured for me to come closer.

Finally, I approached him because I thought he had something else to say.

Then, Jeongyang Jinin gently placed his hand on my shoulder.

At that moment, the surroundings became blurry and at some point, several Taoist monks were sitting there.

It wasn't that they appeared, it was that the location had changed.

'ah!'

It was a shrinking land.

He was said to be the most profound of all the Taoists, and unlike other Taoists who could only move by themselves, Jeongyang Jinin moved me here just by laying his hands on me.

This was the southern entrance to the fuse.

Jeongyang Jinin looked at the Taoists and said.

“You didn’t get tired.”

To those words, Master Cho, holding the yin-yang board, answered.

“I originally said I would write the last scripture, but Brother Jang said he would do it.”

“I thought I was attached to him because he was so passionate about teaching until the end, but this is unexpected.”

“Instead, he asked me to convey this message to Un-Hwi.”

“Are you talking to me?”

To me who was wondering, Master Cho smiled and said:

“He said that when he gets back, he’ll check to see if you’ve been neglecting your spearmanship training. Isn’t he really that dishonest?”

That made me chuckle.

He was the type of person who was blunt but secretly cared for others.

Most of the eight masters here were pure, unlike people in the secular world.

So there were many people who were honest in expressing their emotions.

You can tell just by looking at Master Ha, who is holding a lotus flower and trying to avoid eye contact with me.

-That Taoist woman really seems to hate you.

If you didn't like it, you wouldn't have taught it in the first place.

He just has high pride.

Can't you tell just by glancing at it?

He just pretends not to care because he has something to say.

Master Geomseon came to me and said.

“It’s time now.”

“Something is missing.”

“That’s true, old man. But if you bring that child to the fuse, we’ll see each other again, so it won’t be an eternal separation, right?”

“I see.”

“If you go to the secular world, don’t forget the advice that the old man gave you.”

“I keep that in mind.”

When I finished my training, the advice that my sword master gave me was the Great Way Heavenly Sword Technique.

He advised people to refrain from using the Great Sword Technique unless it was an unavoidable situation that threatened their lives.

In particular, he warned ordinary people never to use forensics.

I agree with that too.

Most of what I learned here at Dohwaseon was like that, but the Daedocheondun Sword Technique is different.

It was clear that it was a power that could not be used carelessly.

“That’s fine.”

“Then, I will immediately arrest the person who has abandoned the Master’s will.”

“Just wait a minute.”

After greeting everyone and taking a lottery ticket, I was about to leave when a master holding a flute called out to me.

“How?”

“Before you go, I have something to give you, Un-Hwi.”

"yes?"

One of the teachers took out something like a blue pouch from his bosom.

He was wondering what it was and handed it over to me.

When I received the lucky bag, I felt a slight tingling sensation.

“I used magic to imprint you as the master. It’s a precious item, so I took measures to prevent you from losing it.”

'Imprint me as the owner?

“What is this?”

“It’s a pocket that can store anything.”

I raised one eyebrow and questioned.

“……Is this it?”

How can you say something like that when you can put something in a pouch the size of your palm?

At that moment, one of the teachers put his hand into his lucky bag.

Then his hand went in up to his elbow.

My eyes widened.

“Hahahahahaha, didn’t I tell you? It’s a pouch that can store anything.”

-Swoosh!

As one of the masters took his hand out of his pouch, a flute identical to the one he had on his waist appeared.

“It’s a gift. It’s not a Buddhist instrument, but it’s made of pure jade, so it’s so hard that even the most powerful swords can’t cut it.”

"ah!"

“In addition to this, each of the teachers here has put a gift in it. I hope you find it useful.”

“How could this be…..”

“I feel sorry that you have gone through all the trouble as our representative, but this is all I can do for you.”

At those words, I looked at my teachers with a moved heart.

The seven Taoists looked at me and smiled brightly.

-Six, to be exact.

Master Ha, who was holding a lotus flower as Sodamgeom had said, snorted and turned his head away when their eyes met.

I'm just curious as to what they put inside it.

“If you put your hand inside, you will naturally learn how to take things out. Oh! And you can put the armor you are carrying on your back inside here too.”

“The size doesn’t fit…”

“Try it.”

Is this possible?

I took off my neck guard, opened up my pouch, and held it out to him.

At that moment, surprisingly, the armor started to bend from the part where the pouch was placed, and then disappeared as if it was sucked in.

-Hiya. Isn't that totally amazing?

That wasn't the only surprising thing.

The wooden armor was inserted, but the weight of the pouch was still light.

-really?

It's really amazing.

Although I was taught the art by the Taoists, I never learned such mysterious magic.

It was because they said that if you don't cultivate the Tao, you can't learn it.

When I see things like this, I see that they are truly amazing.

'It's useful.'

If you have this, there's no need to entrust your sword to someone by putting it in a wooden case.

You can just hide it here whenever you need it.

“It’s about the size of the small warehouse you see over there, so you can use it appropriately.”

“Thank you. I will use it carefully.”

If you keep things like clothes in your pockets, it might be a good idea to use the Chehwamanbyeonsul.

I feel like I've received a really useful gift.

-Why do you think you're only thinking about scamming people?

It's a scam.

It's a strategy to deceive the enemy.

Anyway, I feel good about receiving a useful gift.

“Now go. Become the representative of our fuse and catch the disciple of the female martyr and return with the Dharma tool.”

“Okay, then I’ll be off.”

-Wow!

I once again took the lottery from the teachers, floated the Namcheon Iron Sword in the jade shape, and climbed onto the sword body.

As Jeongyang Jinin nodded while looking somewhere, the ground shook and soon fog began to rise in the forest at the southern entrance to Dohwaseon.

-Twenty twenty!

The fog quickly covered the entire southern forest.

This phenomenon must have occurred because Master Jang attached the last piece of sutra paper to the central cavity of the fuse.

The fuse has been lit again.

I have to hurry and go out.

He said it was not long after the time when the self-defense force had just blown the fuse.

There shouldn't be much difference.

-Shoot!

I flew into the air and flew straight through the foggy forest.

The moment we passed through the foggy forest, the fuse that had been visible behind us immediately disappeared.

'ah!'

But I, who had escaped the fuse, bit my lip at the scenery unfolding around me.

The place that was covered in snow to the point of being almost a snowfield had already melted and a warm wind was blowing.

Even on the bare branches, buds were sprouting.

For winter to turn into spring meant there was at least a month or two of error.

-……I think you must have hidden it properly.

Then things get difficult.

I want to catch it quickly and go back if possible.

I took out something like a small disc from my bosom.

This is a compass that tracks the dharma tool, and it is made so that the needle rotates.

Since I couldn't just blindly track down the vigilantes, I received this to find the energy of the Dharma tool.

-Didn't you say that this can only be tracked using a legal instrument?

okay.

The problem is that you have to use a legal instrument to make this compass react.

So, we have no choice but to keep watching until it moves….

-Unhwi!

-Drrrrrr!

At that moment, the needle on the compass moved quickly.

It was clear that they were using a legal instrument.

And judging by the way it's moving so violently, it's not that far away.

'Namcheon! Let's go northeast!'

-i get it!

The Namcheon Iron Sword quickly flew towards the northeast.

It won't take long before we can catch that vigilante.

I'm nervous.

I trained to the point of death at the fuse, but my opponent had four Dharma tools.

To overcome this, you must be determined.

-Whirrrrrr!

The needle on the compass is shaking very quickly.

I think it will arrive soon.

I raised my head and looked straight ahead.

At that moment, I couldn't help but close my mouth at the sight unfolding before my eyes.

-What is that? Is that the military?

About two ri away, an army that looked to be tens of thousands of people was slowly advancing towards us in a procession.

To say it was just a coincidence,

-Whirrrrrr!

The needle on the compass was pointed straight at the troops.

'What the heck is this?'

The problem was that it wasn't just the military.

The word written on the golden flag hoisted high at the front was none other than the character for emperor.

'……The Emperor's army.'
