Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 397

◈ Carpet (6)

Silence flowed around the low table. For a moment, and gently.

“… … .”

The two men were deeply cultivated.

The elegant atmosphere unique to those who have trained in temples and dojos makes the splendid inner room where the great master of the dark night battle is said to have stayed feel like a small guest house.

At this moment, their teacups, emitting faint steam like a chimney on a tea table, were considerate of the young master who had heard the story about his grandfather from others.

Baekyak Sae-tae’s benevolent eyes turned towards Jeong Yeon-shin.

“If we really look at it, it was the open-minded person who started the fight first. Of course, ironically enough, he never ended up signing the Volcanic Pact… … .”

She said.

It was a story about young geniuses.

These are the people who despise the great sects of the secular world, such as the Eight Great Masters and the Thirteen Heavenly Masters, and literally roam the world of martial arts as little immortals.

The seven characters of the Gupailbang were noble. At that time, they already had the skills to form a family.

The stars were exceptionally bright and could be seen at a glance even though they were far apart. An encounter with them and the devil was inevitable.

Hwaeumhyeon.

A real Yongbongjihoe took place in an inn located at the foot of the volcano.

The beggar youth, who was a follower of the liberalization at the time, stopped eating and asked Mayanjeok for a drink.

It was common for young martial artists traveling the world to meet and fight with each other, then and now, but the incident that happened back then was special.

“The Tang Gae-boo-ju had a high level of pride in drunken fighting. It was even more so when he was young and was called Chwi-gong (取公). He would stimulate the upper dantian with alcohol and unleash unpredictable techniques, and compared to that, the gorgeous Plum Blossom Sword technique of the Hwasan School seemed refined. I think the Plum Blossom Sword technique was a step ahead in terms of visual appeal, but… … .”

The Baekyak incident was told with a hint of humor.

Jeongyeonshin didn’t interrupt her. She didn’t even know much about her parents’ past, including her mother’s.

There were also few opportunities to properly hear stories about my maternal grandfather.

“Anyway, as soon as he received the request for a drink, he drank an entire jug of Seobongju (西鳳酒). He did so to keep his word. Then, Jilsera Chwigong also drank the same amount and turned the jug upside down.”

Even if we fight while drunk, I will win.

These were not words that the direct successor of the Open Maekje clan should hear.

The masters of openness were famous for not considering the changes separately when learning martial arts.

This was because the criteria for distinguishing between the rising high and the lower row of unmanned personnel within the breakwater were clear.

The skill of exquisitely raising and utilizing the alcoholic spirit of alcohol to the upper body.

There is a story that the technique of a drunken, open-minded master can even block the windpipe of a snake. That is why it was called Hangryongshippaljang (降龍十八掌).

This was also the reason why Chuigong could not take Mayeonjeok’s words lightly.

“At that time, Chui Gong was jealous of the information power of Ip Hwang Seong, which encompassed all government offices in the world. Whenever they went around turning the world upside down, he would spout passionate words mixed with jealousy. Well water never flows through rivers, but Ip Hwang Seong, who sold the unwritten rule of inviolability of official duties to a dog, deserves to be criticized.”

“The rotten well water must be pumped out. This is especially true if there are common people living nearby.”

Jeong Yeon-shin, who had been listening silently, spoke. Her voice was calm.

“hmm.”

“That’s not wrong.”

A heavy expression passed over the faces of Baekyak Satae and Yangbyeokgeomgun. It was a look of not letting the words that came out in passing slip by.

It was a strange reaction to Jeong Yeon-shin.

The elders of the old school are the most widely known supernatural beings in the martial arts world, and they are absolute beings who can rule the world even from their seats in the mountains.

If it wasn’t a major event that would have a huge impact on the world of martial arts, I should have just laughed it off.

“Tell me more. What happened after you two got drunk?”

He urged Baekyak to act.

A wrinkled smile appeared on the face of the old nun who had been staring blankly at Jeongyeonshin for a moment.

“It was a natural course of events for them to clash. The opening of the gate and the hegemonic swordsman Mayan Jeok. It was a fight that would become the talk of the entire martial arts world. The only people who could be called onlookers were the seven from the old faction, including Binni, and the innkeeper and Jeom So-i, who watched the two bickering with anxious faces… … .”

The beginning of openness.

It was after the great feat of killing thirteen heavenly lords that they achieved the feat of joint attack.

He gave up the player to Mayenjeok. It was the pride that the strong players always show.

“Ma Si-ju didn’t argue any longer. He stepped on the True Awakening once from the standing position. At that time, Binni had to fully deploy the Lotus Opening Traceless, the sacred nerve of the main sect.”

“Why… … ?”

“There was an earthquake.”

The story of Baekyaksa continued.

After the loud noise raced through the ground and disappeared, everyone was speechless.

As the man who had endured the terrifying vibrations from a close distance looked at his opponent with a blank expression, the Pado Shinhyeop Mayeonjeok praised him with a very impressed expression.

“Your nerves were clearly modeled after a bear balancing on a log… Remember, Binnie. It was a total provocation.”

A faint joy was evident in Baekyaksa’s lips. It seemed as if his heart was moved by the excitement of his youth.

Jeong Yeon-shin inwardly shook her head at her young maternal grandfather. He was not a gentleman.

“Of course, Chuigong did not back down. He could not do that in front of his comrades, the disciples of the old school. We each had deep friendships, but at the same time, we were rivals in martial arts, with pride at the center. There were only two people in the world who could be called equals.”

When Chuigong raised both arms and rushed forward, Ma Yeon-jeok did not even draw his sword and instead spread an invisible light wave from his position. It was the standard form of the Ip Hwang-ma Hap-hwa-kwon method.

“Paedosinhyeop received eighteen first strikes. Ma Siju did not back down even once and received all eighteen Hangryongjang from his position. Only then did the youngest shaman, the swordsman of the swordsmanship, and the eldest Shaolin abbot of the time, get up and shake off their buttocks.”

“why……?”

“It was because Ma Siju didn’t use one hand. Even when he was holding and pressing down on the blue palm of Jecheon Gwanin (????天貫璘), the eighteenth sect that had stretched out, Ma Siju was holding the hand behind his back with his left hand. That was the end of it.”

The bewildered Chuigong was thrown back like a water splash by the blow that struck his temple.

The young man said.

―It won’t even reach the dragon’s mouth.

It was a mockery of the old saying of Hangryongshippaljang, which is said to have subdued even a dragon.

It was clearly an act that crossed the line for the old guard. Everyone who was sitting as a notary for the secretariat stood up.

“Fortunately or unfortunately, the Blood Flame Cult Leader attacked us at that time. He had been tracking his tracks all the way from Sacheon. That monstrous and powerful being was always afraid that the old sect would restore the power of the Unwritten Law and the power of the Three Purities.”

It was a time when the conflict between the Thirteen Heavenly Clan and the Nine Sects was reaching its peak. Sim Mu-ryeon’s martial arts army also appeared.

However, as soon as they saw the demons, they withdrew their troops and disappeared into the distance. The group only had to deal with the Blood Flame Cult Leader.

Even that wasn’t easy. It was infinitely close to impossible.

“Only four people were able to properly endure the white-haired demon’s first attack. Ma Si-ju, the young swordsman of the Wudang faction, the master of the now-deceased Hwasan Jangmunin, and the great abbot of Shaolin at the time… … However, even if they hit the first attack, they could not fight long against the one who laughed while displaying the power of regeneration. The one who opened the way at that time was Ma Si-ju.”

It was with the words that he couldn’t do it with the bears. At that time, Mayeonjeok had already reached an extraordinary level.

The next new sword master’s Bowue Sword was pulled out of his hand, and the sword wind that shook the heavens and earth in an instant blew the Blood Flame Sect Master far into the sky.

-It’s a temporary measure.

It was just a moment of relaxation.

However, the old school records of the time were that the speed of achievement of the practical eight schools of martial arts was surpassed by the speed of achievement of the pure martial arts that pursued the waiting period.

He had extraordinary qualities.

They hid their energy waves with their true energy management that surpassed even the most advanced martial arts techniques, and displayed lightness that did not even require stepping on grass.

The lying down Chuigong was dragged by the young man Ma Yeon-jeok’s hand like a load of luggage.

It was a stroke of luck. After running day and night for several times, they finally managed to shake off the pursuit of the Blood Flame Cult Leader.

It was fate.

“There was no one there who would show their competitive spirit again. Furthermore, when we stopped the Blood Flame Cult Leader, we had a chance to compare their martial arts skills, so we made a deal to fight without a pulse next time.”

Because I vaguely felt the need for it.

It was a martial arts world where even the world’s greatest masters suddenly died.

Then, how about creating an opportunity for the sects that value the people’s livelihood to pass the training?

“The lands where we have settled are infinitely far apart, and the values and favors we hold dear are vastly different… The old school’s long-suffering leaders, who had been looking down on Ip Hwang Seong because of the favors of countless secular sects, have benefited from the defeat. We should have channeled our competitive spirit in a good way.”

“What do you mean by let’s compete without beer…?”

“Whenever the leader of the Pagans or the direct descendants of the Pagans request, the old faction will select the most outstanding disciples from each division.”

The secret of the highest level of the martial arts world has reached its end. The eyes of Baekyak Saetdae, like those of a calm lake, shined upon Jeong Yeon-shin.

“To be exact, the six sects excluding Hyungsanpa, Gongdongpa, and Jongnampa. The four disciples of the old sect who made the Hwasanji Pact must compete against the four masters of Baekcheongheukja selected by Iphwangseong. The one who wins more times can demand everything from the defeated side except for the seal. If you ask them to mobilize their strength for a private matter, the old sect must provide at least one senior disciple… The Paehyup side must provide a peerless master of the purple rank.”

“Such a promise would not be tolerated by nature.”

When Jeong Yeon-shin slightly shook her head, Baekyak Sa-tae’s lips formed a curve.

“It was something that the Lord of the Imperial Palace permitted. It must be because the Shingeomdan is always short on manpower. In addition, I think Binni was greatly persuaded by the Baehyup. He seemed to be deeply impressed by the open-minded Boshin. He treated the young Chuigong very kindly. Chuigong was disgusted, though.”

Jeong Yeon-shin recalled her maternal grandfather’s words and actions, such as talking about bears. They say there are many eccentric people in the world of martial arts, but as a grandson, it was an eccentricity that was embarrassing.

“… It is said that the Volcanic Oath was made by seven people. Why was the Lord of Openness not included in the agreement?”

“He had no intention of postponing the decision to a later generation. The martial arts of the Ip Hwang Ma family were studies that used time in advance, so he was confident that he would become more powerful after many years had passed. His bravery was in vain, but the parasitic warriors never met us again.”

Jeong Yeon-shin guessed the reason. It was simply because her maternal grandfather was born with an extremely arrogant personality.

After the pact was made, the thought of seeking help from other factions would have been erased from his mind.

He slowly moved his lips away.

“It seems like it will take quite some time. I appreciate the advice you gave me from my ancestors, but… … .”

It didn’t seem like it could be of immediate help. The news of Sacheon had been passed on to Iphwangseong through the advice of many seniors, and now what he wanted to do was even clearer.

By subduing the Sojeonju of the Dark Night War, he obtained the ominous sign. It was when he was tracking down the Dark Night Warlord, who had a deep grudge with the contemporary Shingeomdanju.

‘I’ve given you my precious time, Jang Moon-in.’

Perhaps sensing that Jeong Yeon-shin was about to leave, Yang Byeok-geom-gun, who had been keeping his mouth shut, looked at him.

“Hey, Magwangikju.”

“Please speak.”

“Bin-do is a nobleman of this clan, so he has quite a deep insight. He seemed to be looking for someone… a nobleman in a dangerous place.”

“… … .”

“You have humility in your veins. Know this. You are someone who can turn the entire world of martial arts upside down.”

Jeong Yeon-shin was rarely surprised. Her insight was so accurate that it could see through two deeply hidden truths.

The eyes of the Cheongseong Jangmunin were shining blue due to his innate bloodline and eye technique.

“This land is very vast. No matter how fast you are, what will happen if something happens to the nobleman while you are moving?”

“That means… … .”

“Activate the volcanic elixir. Kangho will respond.”
