Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 420

No pulse

* * *

Deungbong-hyeon, Hanam-seong.

It is a vast and vibrant city.

They enjoyed peace under the scenery of Mt. Sungsan, which gently rose as if cutting through the sky. Despite the severe famine, there were no Sima Weidao members who committed evil deeds.

So it prospered.

A land where the famous monks of Shaolin Temple, however small, encourage the energy of the land.

There were many common people who even put rice cake soup in their mouths.

They did not show much jealousy at the sight of the manor built like a castle in the middle of the city.

Rather, there were countless people who raised one hand toward the signboard on the gate and passed by.

Green Jade Sword Hermitage.

This is a place built by famous lay disciples from Shaolin, and is where warriors on business at the Sung Shan Shaolin Temple must stay.

It is similar to the custom of Mt. Hogwang Mudangsan, where there is a point where you must release your guard.

Shaolin, the great mountain and beak of the world’s martial arts world, tolerated it.

Those who carry swords cannot mingle with the Shaolin Temple’s incense-bearing crowd. Everyone must gather at the Green Jade Sword Hall.

Since the foundation of the country, this custom, which has become close to common sense in the martial arts world, has always been maintained.

Even at this moment, when world-famous martial artists are flocking to Hanam.

“Are you here today too?”

A smokescreen with a smooth, green jade-covered surface.

Three or five groups of people of all sorts gathered together and chatted. They all had something in common.

“Yes. Since his bloodline is that of a bloodline, his appearance and manners are extraordinary, and even though he has suffered so much, he never gives up.”

“If Baekgirin Namgung Hwasin is the divine being of Iphwangseong, isn’t he? At that age and wearing black robes, he can’t help but be confident wherever he goes. I heard that the previous generation’s Ma Gwangikju Naraksal presided over his promotion. In terms of strength, there won’t be many who can stand up to Baekgirin here.”

“Even so, it wasn’t enough to do anything to the Four Great Diamonds.”

“Well, the distribution in the first place… … .”

“Anyway, isn’t it ridiculous to ask Shaolin to do what the imperial family should do? Asking them to spread the secret arts of Shaolin monks even to lands outside of Hanam? It’s not like they’re the only ones who have business with the famous monks.”

“I understand. Aren’t the high-ranking officials of the imperial family the ones who are obsessed with the north? They entrusted the ‘security of the world’ to Ip Hwang Seong, which is only a handful in the world.”

“Not a handful. Haven’t you heard the rumor that Sacheon has been scorched? The entire Jianghu region is in turmoil.”

“Even so, it was something that happened far away. Aren’t they just cooking rice cakes here? The great figures of the Jeongpa are gathering one after another, so how can newcomers like Baekgirin and Seomye Mu-maek exert their power… … .”

They each muffle their voices and chatter chaotically.

A story about the secret battle between Ip Hwang Seong and Shaolin Temple, which takes place separately from the volcanic eruption.

Led by Baekgirin Namgung Hwasin, the blue warrior Ma Sein and the white warrior Maung were inviting Shaolin.

He asked that the secret arts of the monks of the famous clan, which boost the energy of the earth, be spread to Hogwang, Shaanxi, and Nanjili. In return, he would allow the secular Shaolin sects to advance into Hogwangseong Yangyang.

Originally, it was a matter that the Iphwangseong Seonmokryeong had to handle together with the imperial family.

It would have been like that if Bingbaek Cheon Soso and others had not gone missing in Sacheon. The empty space was very big.

Shaolin expressed his discomfort.

The proposal was not bad, but it was a time when all sorts of Sima Yi-do and hermits were roaming the world to stock up on food.

After sending the disciples of the main temple to all parts of the world, we must worry about joint attacks and individual defeats.

Even though Shaolin is infinitely close to Baekdo Jeilmun (White Way First Gate), not all of its disciples are masters.

Then the Shaolin abbot asked in return.

―No-nap is a fool who is far from being a great virtuous person, so he cannot send his disciples to their deaths and strike the moktak comfortably. If I were to die alone, I could smile and seek nirvana… Furthermore, the lands you have proposed are ridiculously large for a single sect to handle. Isn’t that so?

―Namgung Moga reports to the monk Bangjang. The unmanned people of the original nature will disperse along with the monks who have descended. If Iphwangseong and Shaolin are together, I think that even if the world is in chaos, there won’t be many who will attack.

―I know that Yong Danju has made a great decision and benefited the world. I am very grateful.

However, it will be difficult for the Shingeomdan to reunite again. If the major shareholders gather again, then Ip Hwang-seong will be accused of treason.

It was a fact that anyone with a fair amount of knowledge could figure out.

The times of chaos are gradually becoming more intense. Will the uncoordinated Ip Hwang Sung be able to exert the same influence as before? In the midst of frequent power losses.

However, the Shaolin abbot did not refuse outright.

―If a young man is so concerned about the world, it would be wrong for an old monk to only care about the safety of the temple… Can he show us what kind of abilities he possesses at this time?

That’s how the secret relationship began.

It was a bet of sorts. If the skills of the Yi Hwang-seong warriors on the front lines ever caught Shaolin’s eye, then they would accept Namgung Hwa-shin’s offer.

Some people said it was a prelude to the volcanic eruption.

It was a time when all sorts of sects were repeatedly opened and destroyed, and even the great sects, including the Thirteen Heavenly Sect, the Nine Sects, the Palga Sect, and the Iphwang Seong Sect, were experiencing rise and fall.

The great incident in which Iphwangseong Ma Gwangikju defeated Sipmunju, Sunmalyeonju, and Geumsimunju in succession was triggering chaos in the martial arts world.

The upper class and the signboards that had stockpiled grain were at a loss as to where to draw the line, and the highly educated and popular masters were keeping an eye on the future movements of the Daebangpa.

There were even rumors that many of the thirteen heavenly families and the eight great families had each started forming their own martial arts alliances.

In this chaotic world, there was much speculation that the order of the martial arts world would be reorganized starting with the volcanic eruption.

At this point, it is due to the power of the masters that each faction possesses, if nothing else.

Deungbong-hyeon is the venue for the Hwasanjiyak Bimu Competition.

It was inevitable that much attention would be focused on Shaolin and Ihwangseong’s martial arts.

The results were stark.

White Warrior Maung was a young warrior who had mastered the simplified Jeonggadonggong within the Ihwangma, but was defeated in twenty rounds by a Shaolin monk of the same age who had practiced the Shaolin Reverse Gyeong.

And the small head of the Ip Hwang Ma family, the blue warrior Masain, was unable to defeat the small divine monk Gakjeong who restored the Shaolin vision of the Guanyin Qinggangsu.

Meanwhile, Baekgi-rin Namgung Hwasin took turns waging a duel with the Shaolin Four Great Diamonds, demonstrating to the world the limits of his Changgungmuae Sword Technique.

It means that they have lost repeatedly. Nevertheless, many martial artists took the result for granted and praised Masain and Namgung Hwasin. This was because of their age, which corresponds to the later index.

Instead, the hawkishness of the local leaders poured out on them. This was because they were the kind of grooms that would be hard to find again in the world.

The secret relationship didn’t end with just one time.

The group of Ip Hwang Seong continued to hand out secret weapons, as if they were determined to win, and Shaolin accepted them all. There was no way to refuse even once.

The affairs of the two major sects continued like that. In the form of the defeats of Iphwangseong piling up.

Meanwhile, the number of martial artists flocking to Deungbong-hyeon gradually increased.

There was even a peerless swordsman who climbed Mt. Sungsan while fooling even the moonlight.

The residence of the Shaolin abbot.

Under the pale, curved tile roof with the moon halo, old voices flowed out from the hall of an old temple.

“Now, the small house of Maga and the small monk are in perfect harmony, right? The momentum of the Iphwangseong is like a typhoon. It is worth coming to Sungsan to make such a request.”

An old woman’s voice came first.

A wave that instantly swept across the empty space outside the threshold in a circular motion. The aerodynamic force contained in the voice was enormous.

The old man’s answer then gently shook the green leaves of the cypress tree.

“Just let it flow. What good would it do to make a fuss about it?”

“The Ip Hwang Seong side doesn’t think so. We also have our own karma, but they expect unquestioned trust as if we are the only ones protecting the world. Even the intention behind the activation of the Volcanic Earth is questionable.”

“Volcanic elixir. Yes, the person who brought up that old story… … .”

“He is the grandson of Paehyeop. Your Majesty, you probably know. I heard he is from Shinya County in Hanam.”

“Amitabha. That is something that does not exist separately from the previous existence.”

“It’s not something to smile about so happily. We need to prepare for it.”

“The sword of the poet is still sharp even after being pressed down by so many years. She deserves to be called the Sword Queen by the people of the world.”

“I need time to sharpen my sword. Please give me the Shaolin Cave of Repentance. I will close for a while.”

“Defilements arise from attachment. If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose… … .”

“Is it such a light thing to hand over a senior official of the old school?”

“Ip Hwang Seong will not ask you to do anything that goes against morality.”

“They are essentially imperial swords. It is something that the martial arts world cannot blindly trust.”

The afterword continued.

“In any case, if you don’t want to create gossip, you have to defeat three of the Baekcheongheukja in a duel, but aren’t the black and purple ones the biggest variables? I heard that Ma Gwang-ik-ju is going to go with the black one? I don’t think I can handle that kid with just the distribution of the great disciples, but if I can’t do it with force, I think I have to impress him with my heart.”

“hmm.”

“The opening ceremony was told that the upcoming Double Ninth Festival is the death of Ma Gwang-ik-ju’s mother. How about holding a memorial service at Shaolin to show her kindness?”

“It’s becoming more and more difficult to listen.”

“If that’s really the case, then we will take care of it at our headquarters. We will show the utmost respect, so please don’t worry.”

“Is it really that bad to lose at Hwasanjiyak? Didn’t your Majesty have good feelings toward Paehyeop when you were younger?”

“That’s why you can’t lose.”

In an instant, the voice of the long-spoken Jeomchangpa, Geumseonseon, became powerful and smooth. For a moment, he had completely regained his youth.

“I don’t know what the head monk thinks, but I am not a practitioner of the Way, but a swordsman. But I can’t ask an old and fallen warrior for advice, right?”

“Amitabha… … .”

“We should make a personnel arrangement considering the new sword master in purple. I have no intention of yielding this secret weapon to Gogeom and Yulha, but it would be right for someone with a higher chance of winning to take on that role. As for the ashes of the child’s mother, Ma Gwang-ik-ju, I will also keep them in the main branch.”

It was a notice after the examination.

Instead of an answer, a soft disapproval came out. The pale moonlight of the full moon in the night sky quietly settled on the edge of the eaves.

* * *

Namsamso (South Samso) of Jagumseong.

It was the prince’s residence. After receiving ‘cloth’ from the emperor, Jeong Yeon-sin sat down with Yong Hui-myeong to decide on his future course of action.

“You met Pangga at night?”

“yes.”

“How was it?”

“It was short.”

Jeong Yeon-shin answered while sitting upright with both arms resting on his knees. His arms and legs were long, so he didn’t have to stretch them out very far.

The corners of Yong Hee-myeong’s mouth slightly went up.

“It was small? It looks like you didn’t divide it into pieces.”

“It was a story about a liver transplant.”

“That’s the story. After the previous head of the Peng family, King Guimyeong, left the family, the Peng family made great progress. About twenty years ago… We invited a wandering lama from the Central Plains as a guest, and in return, the monk taught us the Chukgolgong (縮骨功) technique. To that family.”

Lama. A term referring to a monk from a foreign land. Jeongyeonshin’s eyes widened slightly.

“If it is the ancestral shrine of the Ramayana monk… …?”

“Yes, it is the Yuga Shengong. That is why the night of Pengga examined your body.”

After the Pengganian period and the Great Battle of Pengganian.

The Peng family is called the human goddess of Hebei. There is a rumor that she overcame the limitations of her natural talents with her divine skills.

“They are the ones who adjust their bodies to their opponents. If Peng Ga In Hu or Dae Jeol Paedo were to face you, they would probably have no choice but to have a slender body and long limbs. That’s the only way to match the speed and stamina. They won’t be able to take out your Hwan Gang or Geom Rae Seom Ling Sik with a single attack.”

Yong Hee-myeong said, rolling the teacup with his finger. Jeong Yeon-sin, who felt extremely embarrassed, nodded her head.

“That’s helpful advice. I’ll be dealing with both of them back to back.”

He spoke calmly.

Yong Huimyeong received the emperor’s order to go far away.

Just like Mayeonjeok, whose whereabouts are unknown at this moment, Yongheemyeong also said that he is carrying out some mission in secret as a dark swordsman.

That’s why.

The purple coriander of the volcanic relic is Jeongyeonshin.

Even though he did not have the approval of the Lord of the Imperial Castle to have the character “Hwang” tattooed on his shoulders, he was granted the highest rank of the Imperial Castle with the approval of the Imperial Family.

It meant that it was not unreasonable to act like a purple person in the world of martial arts.

“Fighting them both back to back?”

Yonghee Myung tilts his head slightly.

Jeong Yeon-shin nodded slowly. With the spirit of a general facing a battle that he absolutely had to win, he thought of the appearance of the bloodthirsty demon Jin Myeong-jo, who was covered in pitch-black.

He said that he had never failed to complete a task he had been assigned. He said that all 170 or so cases he had been involved in ended in success.

On the other hand, Jeong Yeon-shin once missed the Chil Sado at first sight.

It was the failure of my maternal uncle, Margin, who should have always been taken care of. It was also the disaster of Jeong Yeon-shin, who had been on a mission with me that day.

There are few people in the world that can be trusted. One of them is Jeong Yeon-sin in Black Robe.

“Peng Ga-in-hu will be no match for Magwang-ik-ju.”

Jeong Yeon-shin said calmly.

He was carrying a thick bundle roughly on one shoulder.

Inside it were the Dark Night Warrior’s Chihwa Hongyo Palace, the Namgung Jeilgeom’s Uicheon Sword, and a neatly folded purple long robe. It could be said to be the most valuable bag in the world of martial arts.

The purple island is ready to leave. If you use the light-hearted technique of ten miles, you can go from Beijing to Henan in one go.

Yonghee Myung’s expression became strange.
