Taejonbirok Volume 12 Episode 21
Chapter 72: Lazy, Ominous (1)
“Since you are a Saga, I will ask you.”
"yes."
“Who is considered the strongest person in the history of martial arts?”
“Are you talking about now?”
“No. I mean, back in those days. Back in the days we’re talking about now.”
"hmm……."
Saga's face became cautious.
People basically like to stand in line. Furthermore, the unmanned people are a species that is very curious about who is the strongest.
“There are many. First, we must talk about Master Dharma, and we cannot leave out Master Jang Sam-bong. Then we must talk about the master of the Gwanghwi Mujon, Geom Hwang, and um… we cannot leave out Cheon Ma.”
“So, who among them is the strongest, that’s what I’m saying.”
“Umm…….”
Saga said in a worried tone.
“Should I be honest?”
“That’s right.”
“Then let’s exclude Master Dharma and Master Jang Sam-bong. They were the greatest people in the world at the time, and they had symbolic significance in giving birth to the great trees of Shaolin and the shamans, and they had the achievement of leaving behind the foundation of martial arts, but it is questionable whether they ruled the world with their individual martial arts.”
“That's right.”
“Then that leaves the Emperor and the Heavenly Horse…….”
Saga's face distorted slightly.
“To be honest, I want to support Cheonma more. It’s something I can’t say out loud.”
“Why can’t you speak?”
“You’re not asking because you don’t know, are you? But isn’t this the world of the righteous? But in the world of the righteous, you can’t say that the devil’s followers were the strongest in history.”
The Gwanggu Shingae giggled.
“Are you saying that you, who consider it your mission to establish correct history, are reluctant to do such a thing?”
“History is not something that is told by word of mouth. It is the historical records that determine history. On the day I die, I will simply write everything I have in the historical records that remain. There is no need to restrict my current activities by talking about things that people do not want to hear. If I were to go around saying that Cheonma was the greatest person of all time, who would listen to me?”
“How realistic.”
“It can’t be helped.”
The Gwanggu Shingae nodded. Any man should not hesitate to crawl between the groin of an ordinary person for the sake of his goal.
It was a petty thing to fail to achieve greater things because of useless pride.
“Then tell me. Why is Cheonma the greatest of all time?”
“Well, first of all, I would like to mention Cheonma’s achievements.”
“Achievements… If you say achievements?”
“Cheonma alone laid the foundation for the Demonic Cult.”
“Isn’t that contradicting the reason you excluded Master Dharma and Investigator Jang Sam-bong a little while ago?”
Saga shook his head.
“It is not that Buddhism did not revive before the arrival of Master Dharma. And even before the appearance of Jang Sam-bong, the true man, Taoism was ruling the world. However, it is not the devil’s religion.”
Saga's tone was firm.
“No one can match the achievements of Cheonma, who united the persecuted Baehwa and made them the greatest force in the world, and taught them martial arts. Of course, his direction was wrong, so we cannot call him a great man, but his influence must naturally be evaluated as the greatest in the martial arts world.”
“Good. Again?”
“It’s the strength of the individual.”
“That’s the most important thing.”
“No one in the Demonic Sect has been able to master the Heavenly Demon’s Dokmunjeolgi, the Gyeopcheonsuragong. They were barely able to collect fragments of it, but if you consider how the Demonic Sect’s leaders, who were at that level, were able to easily rise to the position of the best in the world, you can see how much power the Heavenly Demon truly has.”
“Oh, so that’s why Cheonma is the best in the world?”
“Yes. And isn’t there something you showed me after that?”
“Hmm…….”
Gwanggu Shingae nodded quietly.
“As an aside, I don’t think that the Sword Emperor’s martial arts are inferior to the Heavenly Demon’s martial arts. However, the Sword Emperor’s martial arts are practically useless…….”
"yes."
“Until now, I thought that the martial arts of the Gwanghwimujeon were the swordsman’s, but after listening to what Shingae has to say, it doesn’t seem to be the case. If that’s the case, I don’t know how to evaluate the swordsman’s martial arts.”
“Yes. You are right.”
The Gwanggu Shingae giggled.
“If you look at it objectively, that’s true, but at the time, the Sword Emperor was placed half a level ahead of the Heavenly Horse.”
“I think so. After all, no matter how eccentric the Emperor is, he is a member of the Jeongpa faction, and Cheonma is a member of the Demonic Cult.”
“But eventually I found out that was wrong.”
"yes?"
“……That’s also very painful.”
Saga tilted his head, not understanding what Gwanggushin-gae was saying.
If it had been the previous saga, I wouldn't have tried to hold back when I had a question. There was no reason to wait when the person I was asking was right in front of me.
But now Saga couldn't open his mouth.
Because Gwanggu Shingae had a sorrowful face that he had never shown before.
Considering the witty personality of the Gwanggu Shingae, it was a face that did not suit him at all.
Saga, who felt the depth of the heavy emotions contained within it, kept his mouth shut and waited.
I want Gwanggu Shingae to sort out his seething emotions and speak.
“Phew…….”

Gwanggu Shingae sighed softly and opened his mouth quietly.
“You asked me to know about Wei Yanhu.”
“……Yes.”
“Do you know what that means?”
There was a doubt in Saga's eyes.
Does it mean anything else to want to know about the Gwanghwimoojon?
“The Gwanghwimujeon was the one who was at the center of that era. To say that you want to know about him means, in other words, that you want to hear the story hidden behind that era. Do you understand what I mean?”
“……Of course I know.”
“No, I don’t think so.”
Gwanggu Shingae shook his head bitterly.
“I don’t know, I can’t help but not know. This isn’t a story that you don’t know simply because you didn’t live in that era. It’s a story that only those who were really involved in it would know.”
“What are you talking about…….”
The Gwanggu Shingae shook its head.
“I’ve been thinking about how to tell you this story for a while now. I’ve been trying to keep it a secret while I’m talking. But now I’m thinking about it.”
A low sigh.
Saga couldn't understand the meaning of the sigh. But he could feel the heaviness contained in the sigh.
“Maybe I wanted to tell this story to someone. It’s a story I’ve never told anyone. I thought I was being too tight-lipped, which is unusual for a beggar, but I guess that wasn’t the case.”
Gwanggu Shingae said bitterly.
“I’ll tell you. It’s your choice whether to tell this story, or to publish it to the world as a book, as you said, or to keep it a secret like I did.”
Saga's face hardened.
The Gwanggu Shingae was about to start telling a real story.
“Everyone wants to know the truth, but not everyone can know it. The truth is sometimes harsh and sometimes sad. So you have to make up your mind. Are you really qualified to know the truth?”
Saga's face became tense.
***
After finishing his schedule at the volcano, Wei Yanhu departed for Guangdong.
huh?
Was there no one to stop you?
What should I say about that… … .
There were many people who tried to stop him, but no one could ask Wei Yanhui directly why he was leaving.
He said he was going home, how can we stop him from doing that?
Besides, even if it was someone of the level of a high-ranking Shin Gi-su, there was no one among those present at Hwasan at the time who could tell Wi Yeon-ho what to do.
Well, if it was someone like the Sword Master or the Sword Master, I could have done something about it, but unfortunately, the Sword Master was already a disciple of Wi Yeon-ho, and the Sword Master was not the type of person to restrict others.
So Wei Yanhu set off for Guangdong.
That was the beginning.
Looking back, that was where it all started.
Not yet, not yet.
But keep this in mind.
The story you are about to hear will not be as light as the stories we have told so far.
Maybe that was the real reason why the truth about the Gwanghwimoojon Wei Yanho had to be hidden.
***
“Then let’s go.”
“Hmm, you’ve had a hard time.”
There were various emotions on Cheongyeongja's face as she looked at Wijeonghan.
'What should I say?'
I didn't have a very good feeling towards Wi Jeong-han. Although it was Wei Yan-ho who caused all the accidents, it couldn't be said that Wei Jeong-han was not at fault for not being able to properly teach and guide Wei Yan-ho as a parent.
But when it was time to leave, I began to feel a subtle sense of sympathy for Wi Jeong-han.
'I'll just take a quick look and leave it at that.'
How often will Wei Yanhu come to the volcano again?
So, it could be said that Cheongyeongja was now almost free from the suffering she had to endure because of Wiyeonho.
But what about Wijeonghan?
Wi Jeong-han could not escape from Wi Yeon-ho until the day he died. Thinking about that, Cheong Yeong-ja felt sorry for Wi Jeong-han.
“……You’ve worked hard.”
“No problem.”
“And it looks like it’s going to be hard.”
“…….”
When Wi Jeong-han seemed to be about to cry, Cheong Yeong-ja unconsciously reached out and patted his shoulder.
“I don’t know because I’ve never had children, but I’ve heard that there’s nothing more difficult in the world than raising children. Isn’t it all karma?”
“……It seems like I have committed many sins.”
“But the big fruit grew straight up, so where is it?”
Wi Jeong-han and Cheong Yeong-ja looked at Wi San-ho, who was standing behind them at the same time.
When Cheongyeongja saw the coral, she smiled happily without realizing it.
'If there's a good child in the volcano, I'd like to send her to get married.'
This was the image of the young hero that Cheongyeongja had been hoping for. Although he showed a disappointing performance by losing to Baekgeomyeong in this competition, a man is trained through trials. I had no doubt that he would use this defeat as a lesson and grow into a greater man.
on the other side…….
“Oh, let’s get going. Why are we killing time here, with people standing there staring at us? We don’t even know how long it will take to get to Guangdong.”
'That burn is real.'
Cheongyeongja's face turned bright red.
Where on earth does something like that come from to turn people's stomachs upside down!
It would have been better if he had been a useless person, but since he had such a personality and could be used for so many things, I couldn't even curse him in peace.
Wi Jeong-han noticed that Cheong-yeong-ja was becoming increasingly angry and sick, so he smiled bitterly and lowered his head.
"then."
“Okay, I’ll check it out. If anything comes up in the meantime, let me know.”
“Yes. See you again.”
As Wi Jeong-han returned to his group and started bickering with Wi Yeon-ho, Cheong Yeong-ja quietly watched the backs of the group.
“He’s gone…….”
It was a really long, long time.
Finally, the volcano that turned the volcano upside down has descended.
“Someone put some salt on the front door! Quickly!”
Cheongyeongja clicked her tongue as she sprinkled salt behind the basket.
“Where will he go next to cause trouble?”
It was Cheongyeongja who prayed that Wiyeonho would return home safely.
