Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 639

Episode 639 A story in the reign (14)

“Whoa.”

Myeonghak took a deep breath.

“This is it.”

There was calm joy on his face as he looked at the fog-filled mountain peak.

“This was it. “This was Taijihui (???).”

He lowered his head and saw the sword.

The Songmun ancient sword was stained dark brown. The blood that had flowed from the torn protective covering had dried and turned brown.

But he didn’t feel any pain.

“That’s amazing.”

Myeonghak exclaimed.

“The countless swords of the shaman are reduced to the two swords of Wonjeon and Museung, and the two swords are made into one. This is nothing but the Taegeukhwa of yin and yang. “The enlightenment of the person who was called the Wonmugeomsin (????) reached a level that was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”

At that time, a clear voice was heard.

“He is a great person.”

Myeonghak smiled and turned his head. There was a beautiful woman standing there with her back to me.

A woman wearing a black uniform. Maybe he was in his mid-twenties? His facial features are clear and sharp, giving him a bit of a cold look, but he always has a smile on his face, making me laugh just by looking at him.

The loose hair looked free-spirited, and the fluttering hem of the coat was reminiscent of the hand gestures of a immortal. The sight of a long sword tied to a belt also did not match well.

“The King of Swords has arrived.”

The woman, Joo Seo-yoon, waved her hand.

“After the sword? It’s a shameful title. “I told you not to call me that, so why are you teasing me again?”

“Hehe, how could I make fun of Geomhu? However, I have finally found Taijihye in the circle of swords, and the sword master has shared countless sword tests. “You deserve to be called Geomhu.”

Myeonghak narrowed his eyes.

“Haven’t you actually reached the realm of peace? It is surprising that he reached the level of enlightenment at that age, but enlightenment has reached a much higher level than that. “Until now, except for one person, no one of that age has achieved enlightenment.”

Joo Seo-yoon shook her head as if she couldn’t stop him.

“You decided to paint my face with gold.”

“Hehehe.”

“Anyway, congratulations. “You finally saw Taegeukhyegeom (????) at Wonjeon Sword.”

“That’s right. “It’s a lot late, but I feel more joy than despair.”

“It’s not too late. It’s not too late at all. The reason I am more proficient in round-robin sword than anyone else is because my grandfather constantly helped me. “Myeonghak Dojang, who realized Taijihye in four years, is even more amazing.”

“Hehe, after the sword, please don’t paint this stupid Taoist guy’s face.”

“Ho Ho.”

Joo Seo-yoon smiled and stood next to Myeong-hak.

She looked down at the foot of Wudang Mountain. It was a sight I always saw, but it was also a sight I never got tired of seeing.

Myeonghak asked.

“Do you see the Emperor Taesajo of Hyeoncheon?”

“no. “I saw my grandfather this morning.”

I saw Hyeoncheonjinin who died and became one with Mt. Wudang.

As a modern scholar, I could not understand its meaning. There must be something that only Joo Seo-yoon can see.

“So what are you looking at now?”

“Under heaven.”

“Huh!”

Joo Seo-yoon’s smile deepened.

“I feel that way sometimes these days. Ah, this is why my brother keeps telling me to look at the world. Only when I look at the world can I see myself clearly.”

“Hehehe.”

“Now I understand why people kept saying that death penalty was lowly.”

“How does the world look to you?”

“You look busy.”

“Hehehe!”

“The world, which had gone through a period of turbulence, is now entering a period of stability. However, the world is not fixed. The world created by incalculable people is so beautiful and dynamic.”

Joo Seo-yoon closed her eyes.

“The world depicted by Sa-hyeong is simple, at least in my eyes, so I like it.”

“Now that I think about it, the religious leader has been doing well lately?”

“I want to have something special happen to Gosu, who talks about the best of all time and modern times.”

“Huh? “Aren’t you communicating separately?”

“It’s been a few months. The fortress mainly communicates with the general military. “It’s all business contact.”

Myeonghak smiled.

“Don’t you miss it once in a while?”

“The death penalty?”

“It’s the same with the religious leader and the Protestant church.”

Joo Seo-yoon turned her head to the south.

There was bitterness and sadness on her face.

“miss you. “I miss you so much.”

Joo Seo-yoon, who came to Mt. Wudang four years ago, gathered together the monks who had been training in hiding throughout Mt. Wudang and established a new shaman faction.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist monks did not reject Joo Seo-yoon. Her skills were not only skills, but the sword skills she used were the very essence of a shaman’s martial arts skills.

In other words, Joo Seo-yoon could be said to be Hyeon Cheon-jin’s ceremonial doctor. In other words, Joo Seo-yoon was like a big adult to them.

Four years like that.

The Shaman faction was able to restore most of the martial arts that had been lost in the past.

It was truly a mystical experience. All the martial arts of the shaman faction were contained in the Wonjeonmucheunggeomgyeol, which is a collection of Hyeoncheonjinin’s enlightenment, and Joo Seo-yoon was able to break down all the martial arts of the shamanist faction, including the inner gongsimbeop, swordsmanship, martial arts, fighting techniques, and gyeonshinsul, one by one.

Perhaps Hyeoncheonjinin, who became one with Mt. Wudang, may have helped. What is important is that she helped enormously in rebuilding the independent faction.

In this way, the shaman faction was revived.

That wasn’t all. Zhou Seoyun received a special order from Xu Liang to rule Hubei Province directly.

Sword King Joo Seo-yoon.

People in the world did not know that King Geomjang was a woman. In the first place, women were not given the title of king, so it was only natural.

However, it was quite widely known that King Geomjang was a martial artist who was extremely skilled in martial arts and that he greatly helped in re-establishing the Shaman faction.

Of course, Joo Seo-yoon could not actually manage every single thing that happened in Hubei Province. Instead, there were countless officials under her, and those officials were controlled by Gong Yachi.

However, when a big decision was needed, Joo Seo-yoon always stepped forward.

She was more talented at governing than expected. Gong Yachi was also surprised by her insight at times, and Hubei Province entered the stabilization phase a year earlier than expected.

It was a fast and stable reign, ranking in the top three of all regions in the midfield. Joo Seo-yoon was just as busy as ever.

But no matter how busy I am, how can I not think of my hometown?

Joo Seo-yoon missed Seo-ryang. I missed Jong Li-young and I missed Chae Yeo-min.

I wanted to see not only the former Great Mazon, whom I had no close relationship with, but also the retired Great Protector of the Sentai Dynasty Martial Arts. She missed every single blade of grass or the stone walls that made up the new church.

“But what can I do? There is too much of a burden on my shoulders to just swish away. “At times like this, I really resent the death penalty.”

Joo Seo-yoon smiles bitterly.

Myung-hak felt sorry for Joo Seo-yoon.

A martial artist who reached the realm of peace. Although she had developed a greater swordsmanship than anyone else, she was a young woman, not yet thirty.

Usually, at that age, she either met a good man and started a family, or studied hard to learn more.

But Joo Seo-yoon was too fast. At that age, his martial arts and academic skills reached a level comparable to anyone else, and he even ruled Hubei Province.

People who are still young will not have this burden again. Sometimes she wanted to just go somewhere and have fun without worrying, but she wasn’t allowed to do that.

Myeonghak, who was quietly looking at Joo Seo-yoon, cautiously opened his mouth.

“This is enough for independents.”

“yes?”

“It may still be unreliable in the eyes of the Emperor, but our Taoists are also working hard. In fact, the current Shaman faction is very stable and is receiving new Taodong (??).”

Myeonghak smiled.

“Leave the shaman faction to us and leave Hubei Province to Gongya Wenju. “How about putting down the burden on your shoulders for a moment and looking around the world?”

Joo Seo-yoon smiled.

“It’s sweet just to hear you say it. But I can’t do that.”

“Why is that so? Of course, there are so many things happening all over Hubei, so there are a lot of things you have to do…”

“A person who has been sharpening his sword for decades is sharpening his sword to the point where his armor is torn, so I’m going to go look around the world to see how hard I worked. . “There is no way.”

Myeonghak looked down at his hands.

“Hehe, this is because of my shortcomings, not my efforts.”

Joo Seo-yoon shook his head.

“I will be grateful for your words. By the way, hurry up and treat your hands first. “It won’t happen because my strength is strong, but if it happens, it will be a big problem.”

“If the wounds on your body become more severe, you can treat them, but if the wounds engraved in your heart become more severe, they cannot be easily healed.”

“….”

“Don’t worry, go to Shingyo.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes wavered.

In most cases, this won’t happen. I could tell just by looking at her eyes how much she missed Shingyo.

After a while, Joo Seo-yoon sighed.

“Of course it won’t work….”

That was then.

“What’s wrong?”

At that moment, Joo Seo-yoon and Myung-hak were surprised.

“Hey, it’s been a while since I came to Mt. Wudang again. The view is truly superb. “It may not be flashy, but the mysterious fog and mountains… Isn’t this a scenery you won’t get tired of even if you look at it for decades?”

The two people turned their heads.

Surprisingly, there was a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes, looking at the mountains with an ecstatic expression.

“Hmm, the mountain scenery is so quiet and mysterious, but the mind of the girl who lives in this mountain is so cloudy and dizzy.”

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“Isn’t that so?”

Joo Seo-yoon and Myung-hak knelt down.

“I meet you, King Taejang.”

“Oh no, don’t do that.”

Geum Baek clicked his tongue.

“You may say that, Taoist, but you are a king like me. “Someone will think that I am the next emperor.”

Joo Seo-yoon asked with a puzzled expression.

“But what happened here all of a sudden…?”

“I came to see you.”

“Me?”

“That’s right.”

Even though they were the same king, the two were not friends to begin with. This means that in most cases, a remittance bag will not come here.

Naturally, Joo Seo-yoon’s face hardened.

“Maybe something happened to the imperial palace….”

“Nothing happened. Hehe, it looks like you’ve had a hard time too. “Even after accumulating such amazing martial arts skills, my eyes are not clear.”

“Ah…”

“I didn’t kill prayer because I didn’t think it was necessary. You should be able to read my prayers, but there is no response. “I came up to Ye to see what was going on.”

“Oh, I see.”

“by the way.”

Song Zhongbaek pointed south with his thumb.

“If nothing happens, come to Shingyo with me.”

“yes?!”

“Oh, don’t misunderstand. Because it’s not just me and the two of you going. “There are also Yeo Kang-hwi, the palace lord, and branch chief Yeo Sang-rin under the mountain.”

“…!”

“I have something to ask you, and while I’m at it, I’m on my way to get a drink. “If nothing happens, why don’t you come along?”

Joo Seo-yoon looked at the money transfer bag with surprised eyes.

At that time, Myeonghak opened his mouth.

“After the examination.”

Joo Seo-yoon turned his gaze to Myeong-hak.

Myeonghak smiled.

“I guess this is fate. “Go.”

Joo Seo-yoon, who was staring blankly at Myeonghak, also slowly smiled.

“…Then shall we see?”
