Sunset (8)
* * *
The sky, with its grayish twilight billowing here and there, and the ground, without any sunlight in the air currents, occasionally spitting out dust with a rustling sound.
The grass does not grow.
There is no life.
The only thing that filled the rough ground was a sullen temperament. The only thing that was abundant was the long, gusting dirt wind that scraped across it.
It didn’t seem like there had been a distracting dragon just a moment ago.
Where on earth is this place?
He said it was beyond the ‘door’. Is it really the same world? Or is it a strangely twisted version of the Taoist paradise where the immortals in the story live among the stars?
Jeongyeonshin doesn’t know.
But I didn’t bother to ask anyone here.
‘It’s not under my jurisdiction.’
The words of Master Beomheo, who once told him to live a life of human strength, kept flashing through his mind, and it was because of the beings surrounding him right before his eyes.
Three new sword masters.
It’s a sight you can’t see outside the door.
Jeongyeonshin suddenly felt conflicting emotions.
The burden of having to show off your accomplishments to the previous Shingeomdan masters. And conversely, the slightly reckless anticipation of a junior waiting for what they will show you.
Calm but not calm.
A moment like this will never come again.
Even if she were to relieve her anxious curiosity towards Mayeonjeok and Yongheemyeong, the only thing that would lighten Jeongyeonshin’s mind for a moment would be her pitiful heart.
He was about to go out to the Fengjin River. At this moment, it was right to focus on digesting the opportunity that had been granted.
In one corner of Jeong Yeon-shin’s vision, the heads of the Myungryu Daeju, Soyeon Daeju, and Suncheon Ikju were still hanging. It was an image that was stuck in her mind and she didn’t think it would ever be erased.
So this place was not beyond the gate, but rather closer to a kind of training ground.
Now, as the one leading the nature, the position to make Jeongyeonshin, who will stand at the forefront of the world, into a complete divine sword.
ha-
After catching his breath for a while with the breathing of the Neungbeop Gwangryungi, he slowly opened his mouth, releasing white steam from both sides of his mouth.
“What should I do first?”
Shincheonhwa opened her lips at Jeongyeonshin’s words. She had already untied her backpack and was fluttering her purple sleeves wide.
The sight of her long, black hair blending into the twilight of the land. The whole scene was a testament to the prestige of the previous Shingeomdan leader.
[The basics are the mind and body. Your mind and body methods, the mind and body method, and lightness.]
Shincheonhwa said.
[All of that blends so wonderfully with your well-polished body. Are you sure it’s all a martial art you created yourself?]
“yes.”
Jeongyeon Shin nodded slightly. Soon, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Shincheon Hwa’s sharp eyes.
[You have walked the right path, befitting your talents. If you had learned the magic of the Maga’s Harmony, it would have been difficult to achieve that at that age. You have done very well, so just do that.]
Meanwhile, Mayeonjeok, who had been closely examining his grandson’s entire body, opened his mouth.
“This is excellent advice. Listen carefully to the words of someone who threw away the Jecheonmu Gyeong of the Iphwangsinga without even completing it.”
[That little Maga Aesong was very well suited to the Paedo’s Haphwashinkong. Even though he was from the Gwanggeomdae, he didn’t even glance at the Gwanggeomdae’s martial arts.]
Shincheonhwa continued speaking with one corner of her mouth raised.
[But you are different. You can turn your gaze in any direction. The framework of your martial arts that makes up your character is entirely composed of your own techniques. Naturally, no matter what you add, the center will not be disturbed. For example… … .]
Phew!
Suddenly, a dry wind whirled towards her, and at the same time, the purple robe danced and fluttered, disappearing into space.
It was with Shincheonhwa’s body.
The next moment, Jeong Yeon-shin took a step back. An immediate retreat technique. It was the Hwan-ik-yuk-bo that he had previously used in the Battle of Ihwang.
Paaaaang!
As Shincheonhwa’s body appears in the place where he was, a cheerful cracking sound erupts.
Her forward movement, which seemed to compress space, and Jeongyeonshin’s Illusionary Six-legged Step. For a split second, the front of their clothes brushed against each other and fell, creating a crackling flash of lightning that burst into a blue light.
It was the aftermath of the clash between the world’s greatest secret laws.
[Usually this is the sum.]
In the meantime, Shincheonhwa’s thoughts spread rapidly as if they were constantly causing Gongwolmu. The speed at which they struck Jeongyeonshin’s ears was literally like lightning.
[But what if, unbelievably, the attacks land in quick succession? If the opponent is someone who has been with the Lord for a long time or if they are attacked together, it is entirely possible.]
The point where Shincheonhwa and Jeongyeonshin’s eyes met.
Hwaaaaah!
As the gray air currents spread out in all directions with lightning, a shadow appears on the side.
Jeongyeonshin’s eyes widened slightly. Yongheemyeong had come closer even though they had never met before.
The idea of Shincheonhwa poured out.
[At that time, it’s not just the legs that will move. After your four feet, it’s the whole body’s turn, the divine law’s turn.]
As it was right after casting the Hwanik Yukbo, the body was tilted backwards.
Jeong Yeon-shin was met with a blow from the contemporary Shin Geum-danju.
This could be a preliminary battle for the short-term position.
The sleeves of the dress rose up like a dance, following Yong Huimyeong’s hand gestures. In that moment, as if by magic, a gust of wind rose from the hem of the dress and struck Jeong Yeonshin.
It was something ambiguous, neither a palm wind nor a sword wind.
It was noisy from the moment the sound of the explosion occurred.
Kyuuuuuung!
As the atmosphere shakes translucently, the violent vibrations flow in a single direction and all converge on Jeongyeonshin.
The thick, vaguely shaped, sharp winds were about to engulf his entire body and tear him apart.

‘If you get hit, you die…!’
Jeong Yeon-shin had already caught the recoil of the retreating technique with the small muscles in her knees.
Jeonggadonggong.
In an instant, he strongly stimulated the blood and yang points on both sides of his knees, and awakened the acupuncture points throughout his body with the power of the Hwan-ik-yuk-bo. Then, the movement of the new method, Pung-sin (風身), occurred naturally.
A body that rotates violently, bouncing slightly to the side.
It was a narrow evasion.
Pararararak!
The purple hem of her clothes, mixed with the dusk, fluttered in the pale whirlwind. It was similar to the movement Yong Huimyeong had shown in response to Mayeonjeok’s attack earlier.
Immediately afterwards, the tattered clothes began to rustle and repair themselves.
Damn it.
I got down, leaving some space between me.
Jeongyeonshin glanced at the ground she had been standing on.
It was in ruins.
A sight of long furrows running in all directions, forming a mandala-like pattern, as if hit by a compressed typhoon, while being extremely wide and deep.
The short run of the new sword masters made it so.
Jeong Yeon-shin’s techniques were also mixed in there. Very, very naturally.
“… … .”
I couldn’t help but feel a strange feeling.
[Well done.]
Shincheonhwa continues speaking, roughly sweeping her hair back.
[If you connect all the techniques like that, you will gain a sense of freedom that you didn’t have before. It’s not called that way for no reason. Since the three are not different from each other, they should always be melted into one.]
“Lightweight…?”
Shincheonhwa laughed at Jeongyeonshin’s question.
[Are you planning to keep fighting the two of us? If the new sword master dies, the battlefield will die too. If you escape, you should join your subordinates. The retreat method doesn’t end with one step.]
“hmm…….”
At that moment, Jeong Yeon-shin couldn’t help but think of Emperor Geonreung.
Then, does the death of the emperor, who risked his life and death, have no other meaning than temporarily blocking the southern advance of the northern powers?
[Lightness is used for such needs. Or when you want to surprise your enemies with movements that go beyond their imagination.]
“…I understand.”
Jeongyeonshin reluctantly answered. While thinking about whether there was another way to use lightness.
For a brief moment, countless beams of inspiration streaked across his mind.
Hwanikbo, Pungsin, and Shiri Gwangyo.
The movements of the absolute beings, such as the new sword masters, stimulated Jeongyeonshin’s upper abdomen as always.
Even their thrusts had a clear intention. The slightest muscle movement, the swaying of the waves, the direction of the thrusts, everything.
Even if it is a short division, it is more than enough to provide a lasting oil to Jeongyeonshin’s martial arts.
The original methods of protection, new methods, and lightness exercises would gradually change into techniques that would give him some freedom.
Perhaps, the day she meets So Cheon Moo Jeok again, the two years between her and Jeong Yeon Shin may be shortened in one step.
Phew!
It wasn’t the end.
Jeongyeonshin had to avoid Shincheonhwa and Yongheemyeong’s attacks from all directions.
Although Shincheonhwa’s attack, which had previously used a great amount of air power with the Ihyeonggongheo, was worth taking, Yongheemyeong’s first attack was absolutely something that should not be received with the body. If not countering, then evasion was the answer.
How many urgent moments have passed by, and how many mandalas have been carved into the ground?
[The following is a self-defense weapon.]
“for a moment.”
Suddenly, Yong Hee-myeong stopped Shin Cheon-hwa.
“This is strange. After the nerve training, the self-defense technique is next. Now that I look at it, it seems like you’re trying to teach my agent something strange.”
[wonderment?]
“I’m saying that you’re prioritizing survival over killing. This training method… Doesn’t it smell like the ceremonial table of an old man who will soon ascend to heaven?”
Yong Hee-myeong asks questions while carrying a backpack on his back.
Shincheonhwa was spinning.
[That’s a very correct insight. It’s worth taking the Maga Aesongi’s sword.]
“I handed it over myself because I had no one else to trust. We sat around discussing some trivial things.”
Even my maternal grandfather, Mayeonjeok.
The opinions of the three new sword masters are intertwined.
Jeong Yeon-shin did not bother to join them and continued to review the sum of the Bo-shin-gyeong they had just shared. The purple gentleman was accustomed to being alone and blue.
‘Whenever it is completed, the four steps left to Hwaniksipbo are… … .’
No matter what anyone said, I absorbed the teachings of the previous leaders into my heart in my own way. My head was very hot.
‘Only with thorough forward movement.’
Their argument ended only when Jeongyeonshin finished her recovery.
[Did you take my advice well? Did you also keep in mind the meaning of each nerve?]
“yes.”
Jeong Yeon-shin answered confidently.
[Yes, there is nothing like the resilience of a self-defense weapon to find out a person’s temperament. Let’s take a look.]
Shincheonhwa gestured towards Mayeonjeok from one side.
[Hey, hit me once.]
“What?”
Mayeonjeok asked in a voice without any hesitation. But Shincheonhwa’s answer continued without hesitation.
[Resilience, strength, absorption, directionality of the waves, endurance of the inner wall… There are many things to check. You, who are full of strength, are the best. Count them yourself with your hands.]
“That’s true in some ways.”
Damn it.
An old man is better than an old corpse that has died of old age. Ma Yeon-jeok muttered as he walked toward Jeong Yeon-shin.
To Jeong Yeon-shin, her grandfather’s voice had a strange feeling to it. It seemed like he had been through many battles with Shin Cheon-hwa, who called him Aesong.
For example, she didn’t give special titles to the contemporary Shin Geum Danju and Jeong Yeon-shin. It felt like they were just doing what they had to do.
On one hand, Yong Hee-myeong agreed to the matter.
“This is definitely necessary. It would be difficult to defeat the northern cavalry with bare hands if it weren’t for the old man Hyun-gong of the Wudang faction. If by chance a self-defense weapon comparable to the ‘Heavenly Silk Mineral Armor’ of the Yo-jok friends from the main city comes out, there would be no greater luxury than that.”
I didn’t even have time to ask about the Cheon Dan Gwang Gap.
“Would you like to try it?”
That was why Mayeonjeok raised his right hand and asked cautiously.
Instead of answering her grandfather’s words, Jeong Yeon-shin thought of the Dangga siblings bathed in moonlight.
At that moment, the self-defense energy that had originally surrounded his entire body transparently began to emit a soft glow.
Woof woof woof!
“In a real fight, you’ll be more likely to get hit than this, so go out with a force that suits the situation.”
Perhaps it was a little awkward to use his own hands. Ma Yeon-jeok narrowed his eyes and continued speaking. Meanwhile, his hands were already dyed with a cool blue dye.
“The method of combining flowers and smoke is the method of perpetuating longevity.”
Unbelievable things happen one after another.
Jeong Yeon-shin had no idea that such a detailed analysis would be conducted.
The three previous divine sword masters were truly ready to block all of Seomyeran’s weaknesses. It felt like a warrior who alone could lead his true nature should do so.
But for some reason, it wasn’t very pleasant.
‘If I get this, I can also examine my grandfather’s self-defense gi as a nine-layered ring… … .’
Before his heavy thoughts could even finish, the whole world was bathed in blue.
Maebangbu Ma Yeon-jeok’s hand extended towards Jeong Yeon-shin without making any loud noise.
It was the end of a true closed-door training.
