Taejonbirok Volume 7 Episode 22
Chapter 47: The Lazy Man Gets Caught (2)
“Oh, that’s why…….”
What should I say in rebuttal?
It wasn't that I couldn't refute it because I was pushed out of logic. It was just so absurd that I didn't even know where to start talking.
“How can that and this be the same?”
Later, Jang Il heard about this debate and evaluated it as follows:
― People often make the mistake of thinking that Wei Yan-ho is lazy, but Wei Yan-ho is absolutely not stupid. His mouth is the best of all time. If you persuade him with words, he will be pushed back, and if you persuade him with a sword, he will be beaten with a club.
But unfortunately, the current Jo Hyeon did not know much about Wi Yeon-ho.
The fact that Wei Yanhu's father was Wei Zhenghan also played a part. Who would have imagined that such a child would have been born from Wei Zhenghan, the Zheng He Jian?
If it could be predicted that Wi Yeon-ho, who was the son of Wi Jeong-han and the younger brother of Wi San-ho, would be the greatest king in the world, Jo Hyeon would have already become an immortal and ascended to the throne.
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head.
“Both Master Dharma and Master Jang Sam-bong created their martial arts through self-study.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“It may be a bit embarrassing to mention, but that Heavenly Demon also rose to that position by creating martial arts on his own.”
“…….”
“Shouldn’t we seriously consider the fact that the three people who could be called the greatest of all time all learned nothing through self-study? Maybe we are on the wrong path. The teacher teaches, and the student learns. But none of the students are able to surpass the teacher.”
“What does that mean? A disciple cannot surpass his master. Haven’t you ever heard the saying, “A fool is a fool!”
“So, is there anyone who says that he surpassed Jang Sam-bong, the true man, in shamanism?”
No.
Even if it exists, it won't work if you say so.
If there is a shaman who says, "I have surpassed the investigation," he will be immediately hit with the Chilseonggeomjin and his body will be split into two in the shape of a Taegeuk.
“There are people who have learned it, but no one has surpassed it. So something is wrong.”
“In the case of Sam Bong Jin-in and Dharma Master, weren’t they the ones who created their own martial arts after having mastered other martial arts to the fullest?”
“Where?”
“……Huh?”
“If you learned something, there must be a place where you learned it, right?”
“Well… First of all, Master Dharma is the head of the West Gate’s martial arts….”
“Ah, so the root of Shaolin is Seojang. That’s new information. I happened to come with a monk named Musan, so can I ask him to confirm?”
Jo Hyun was startled and waved his hands.
“No! No! Did I say that? I don’t remember!”
The story that Master Dharma's martial arts came from the West was something that could never be said in front of Shaolin monks.
If that word gets out, the Jeongwu Alliance will explode with Shaolin monks shouting, "Are you saying we are learning the martial arts of barbarians?"
“Then, Sam Bong Jin-in must have learned martial arts somewhere. Since it’s Taoist martial arts, Hwa…….”
“Eww! No way! Sam Bong Jinin is completely self-taught!”
This was also the same.
Jang Sam-bong's origin was a very sensitive issue. Since Sam-bong Jin-in himself said that he came down from Hwasan, there is talk that Sam-bong Jin-in was a disciple of Hwasan, but if he said that in front of a shaman, it was clear that the same situation would occur as the Malkodul shouting, "So we are a sect of Hwasanpa! You crazy being!"
In real life, it was very common for people to not be able to call their father ‘father’.
“That’s what I’m saying. Those who have never learned any other martial arts have created their own martial arts and have risen to such a lofty position… but those who are called juniors can’t even reach the tip of their master’s toes, so what use is a master?”
Jo Hyun ended up laughing in vain.
It seemed like the first time in my life that I had heard such absurd words. However, if I were to point out the flaws in this logic, I would have to mention the origins of Master Dharma or Jang Sam-bong.
“Ugh.”
Only then did Jo Hyun realize that the little guy in front of him might not be as easy as he thought.
'If you prepared this kind of logic because you didn't want to teach… … This guy is really scary.'
In another sense.
Normally, if you're going to prepare this much, you'd rather just take the class. That's easier.
'I can't tell if he's lazy or hard-working.'
Jo Hyun bit her lips tightly.
I know what Wi Yeon-ho is talking about, but if I back down here, wouldn’t it be a waste to call myself a new investigator? Even if I had created a sensitive and unfavorable situation and gained the upper hand, Jo Hyeon had no intention of losing logically.
Jo Hyun took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Of course you……”
“But the rice hasn’t come out? I think I ordered it earlier.”
“…….”
Should I just beat that thing to death and turn everything upside down here, without any logic or anything? They say it's really strong, but isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? If I mix it well, I think I could beat it?
“Isn’t the rice coming out?”
“Shouldn’t the maid come out after preparing! The maid!”
“……I just asked if food was coming out, but if you get so angry, I’m scared and it’s hard for me to say anything more.”
Are you scared?
Who? You?
Where did the person who had been talking back to him just a moment ago go? Why is he saying he was scared?
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
It was only at this age that Jo Hyun could truly understand what the word “hwabyeong” meant. Hwabyeong is not a disease that occurs when anger builds up. When anger that cannot be handled suddenly comes, the back of the neck becomes stiff and speech becomes difficult.
My temper was such that I wanted to grab him by the collar right away, even if it was class or something, but if I got into a fight with that greenhorn, Jo Hyun's reputation would fall to the ground.
On the other hand, Wei Yanhu had nothing to lose.
It wasn't easy for Jo Hyun to turn this unfavorable fight to his advantage. However, Jo Hyun walked that path confidently.

“……Listen carefully.”
"yes."
Wi Yeon-ho was polite.
Strangely enough, even that polite answer didn't sound good.
“They are geniuses who are hard to come by in this world. Just because Zhuge Liang created the Eight Divisions, doesn’t mean we can ask tacticians who studied the same thing to create formations of a similar level?”
“Yes.”
“Everyone has natural talent. It’s sad, but it’s true. But education is about helping people develop their natural talents to the best of their ability. Master Dharma and the Three Blessed Ones would have reached their positions regardless of whether they had a teacher or not. But others don’t. If there’s someone to watch over, there’s someone to pull up.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded as if he was impressed.
“That’s definitely true.”
“Do you know what I mean? Besides, you have accumulated so much experience at such a young age. If you share just a little bit of that experience, everyone will be able to go higher. It’s a good thing for everyone.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded repeatedly with an expression of admiration.
Why is it like that?
I thought he would talk back to me at this point, but Wi Yeon-ho's reaction was strange. Jo Hyeon stared at Wi Yeon-ho with narrowed eyes.
“Are you… listening to me now?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Yes, I see. So you agree with what I’m saying?”
“Yes! That’s right.”
There's no way this can happen?
Jo Hyun ended the situation feeling uneasy.
“Okay. Then I believe you will lead the classes with passion in the future.”
“But there is one problem.”
“Huh? What’s the problem? I’ll take care of it.”
“For example, there is a kid in our class named Pengdohyung.”
“Yes. He is a descendant of the Peng family, and will grow into a very outstanding Taoist. His older brother is already a great Taoist.”
“Well, that’s fine, if I’m going to teach him.”
Jo Hyun felt something ticklish.
What is he trying to say by taking so long?
“You have to know the Ohodanmundo.”
"huh?"
“I’ve never used a Tao before, so how can I teach someone to use a Tao?”
“……Huh?”
It was a tough fight.
In front of Wi Yeon-ho's logic that in order to teach Unga-bong, you need to know Unga-kwon, and in order to teach Namgung-se, you need to know Je-wang-geom-hyeong, Jo Hyeon swallowed the words, "Damn it! Throw it away, you crazy bastard!" several times as he explained and explained again.
It took a long time for them to understand that what they wanted from Wi Yeon-ho was not to deepen his martial arts skills, but to teach him the overall concept of martial arts.
In the meantime, Wi Yeon-ho asked for food three times, ordered tea four times because he was thirsty, and dozed off five times.
“Well, in that case, it would be better to just study on your own.”
“How many times do I have to tell you this! There’s no need to teach them everything! Just teach them the concepts, just the concepts!”
“……If that’s the case, why learn it?”
Jo Hyeon felt like crying at the sight of Wi Yeon-ho's expression that seemed as if he really didn't know.
Whether it is better to focus on individual martial arts or to receive group training is a sensitive topic even within the martial arts. Although there are pros and cons, later on when they went out into the world of martial arts, those who had connections with martial arts banded together and exerted greater influence, so the atmosphere of everyone trying to have their children enter the martial arts became stronger.
But can't we explain to Wi Yeon-ho, "It seems like learning from an outside source isn't really any better than learning on your own at home… … This is all social life, you idiot?"
'How can you just pick out these things and rush to them?'
This guy is a twisted person by nature.
There was no mistake. That's why I only find these weird topics.
“Do you understand?”
“Ugh…….”
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head as if he had no idea.
“Anyway, you just need to teach the concepts and give them some practical training! If that’s the teaching policy here, why are you complaining so much?”
“I have no complaints. I understand what you are saying.”
"okay?"
Jo Hyun raised both hands in the air.
More than the fact that Wei Yanhu understood, the joy was that he would no longer have to fight with the guy who had been around for a long time.
“Well, then, well…….”
“But.”
Wi Yeon-ho interrupted Jo Hyeon's words and took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to him.
“……Isn’t this a contract?”
“Yes. If you look here, it says, ‘Do not interfere with the guidance policy of the Wei Yanhui.’”
“…….”
“So I’ll just do whatever I want.”
Jo Hyeon looked at Wi Yeon-ho with blank eyes.
“Then why did you have to fight until this hour… no, why did you have to talk? Why didn’t you just start like this from the beginning?”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled bashfully and glanced out the window. The sun was almost setting.
“Of course, I’m curious about your opinion, sir. I think it’s time for class to end, so I’ll be going now. Please send the meal to my quarters. Okay.”
Wi Yeon-ho gathered up the papers one by one and went out without looking back.
“…….”
Jo Hyun froze like a stone and stared at the door through which Wi Yeon-ho had exited.
After a long time, Senior Instructor Seok Moon-cho opened the door and came inside after confirming that Wi Yeon-ho had left.
“Sir, let’s talk…….”
“Eee …
Since that day.
An ominous rumor began to spread in Jamryongmugwan that the mysterious detective Jo Hyeon had gotten drunk in broad daylight and had smashed all the furniture in the government office.
