Episode 159. Jong-ri Muhyeong-gong (鍾離無形功)
“It is said that a gourd that leaks at home will still leak even if you go to the field, but you couldn’t stand it and came back after all kinds of accidents.”
It was Maeng Gap-son.
Han Ibi was somehow happy to see me and pretended to know me happily.
“ah! “Chief Maeng!”
Maeng Gap-son waved his hand and said.
“Arthur. It’s been a while since training ended, but the leader is frozen to death…”
“Well, once you’re the leader, you’re always the leader.”
At that time, Maeng Gap-son’s gaze returned.
This is Gil Jang-han, the head of the Hubei branch of the Murim League inspection team.
Gil Jang-han bowed politely.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. “Maeng Daehyeop.”
Maeng Gap-son also responded.
“I guess so. It’s been a really long time. “Jeonseo-gu has been successfully delivered to Lord Maeng.”
Han Ibi said after seeing that.
“No, Mr. Maeng, are you saying this because you know that person’s face?”
Maeng Gap-son said.
“According to the rules of the Murim League, the identity of the inspection team is prohibited from being revealed for 10 years, not only during the current position but also after retirement. Of course I’ve never seen it either. “We’ve met a few times, but…”
“But how do you know it’s been a long time?”
Maeng Gap-son thought for a moment and then said.
“Well, you know it when you look at it. “Don’t you have a feeling?”
“Ah… haha. Yes…”
At that time, Maeng Gap-son said, pointing to the inside of Cheonsu-gwan.
“Instead of doing this here, let’s go inside. Lord Maeng has received the message and is waiting.”
Han Ibi said with a grin.
“No, it seems like there are times when Lord Maeng is too busy putting seals.”
Maeng Gap-son easily ignored Han I-bi’s jokes and took the two inside the Cheonsu-gwan.
They entered the main building along the long garden.
Still…
the inside of the Murim Alliance was still crowded with people.
What on earth is the reason why so many people have gathered here?
Han Ibi complained.
“The Murim Alliance is always noisy.”
Maeng Gap-son answered.
“It must be because of the leader’s tendency to not assert authority and dislike discrimination.”
“aha. Now that I think about it, there might be something like that. “If you’re annoyed or scared, you usually don’t go there.”
Like a company boss with no communication.
Anyway, while walking and chatting, the three of them soon arrived in front of the Murim leader’s office.
Maeng Gap-son made a show of popularity.
“Lord. “The head of the Hubei branch of the inspection team is waiting for the report.”
Immediately a sound was heard inside.
“Come in quickly.”
“yes.”
Maeng Gap-son opened the door and guided the two people into the office.
Tingling.
The first thing I felt was Zhuge Yuxian’s gaze that seemed to pierce iron.
‘What? ‘Why is that guy keeping his eyes open?’
Gil Jang-han said politely.
“The head of the Hubei branch of the inspection team is meeting you, Lord Maeng.”
When Zhuge Yuxian nodded, Han Yi Fei greeted him this time.
“See you, Lord.”
At that time, an unknown sight flashed in Zhuge Yuxian’s eyes.
“It was a bit suspicious from the beginning…”
Then Han Ibi raised her head and said.
“uh? I came today to explain that I did nothing wrong, right? “I’m not from the Demonic Cult…”
Zhuge Yuxian waved his hand and interrupted.
“No, not that one. “That’s not what it’s about.”
‘Yes? ‘What is this strange feeling?’
Han Ibi tilted her head.
Anyway, that’s how the report began.
Gil Jang-han was telling the story to Maeng-ju according to what he had seen and heard.
But just….
Han Ibi discovered that Gil Jang Han was glancing at her.
And then I realized.
The fact that the story of how the members of the Great Murim Alliance inspection team were crushed by a young man is very difficult to talk about…
So the story slowly slows down and he is watching himself.
At that time, Han Ibi struck and left.
“I literally almost lost my chance to explain. Phew. “If the inspection team members didn’t believe what I said, how could I be standing here with my life alive?”
… is a mess, but let’s take a look.
At that moment, Zhuge Yuxian looked at Gil Janghan’s splint and said.
“Was that arm injured while fighting Tak Jangmun?”
Giljanghan’s eyes on the purple cotton thread rolled quickly like billiard balls.
Han Ibi decided that it was the right time to strike again.
“That’s right. “Alas… if it weren’t for the sacrifice of the Hubei branch leader, I probably would have broken my neck instead.”
After hearing those words, Zhuge Yuxian nodded and said.
“Before you go, stop by the Murim Alliance councilor’s office. “I will tell you.”
Gil Jang-han sent a slight sign of gratitude towards Han Ibi.
Han Ibi also reacted very subtly.
Gil Jang-han said.
“Thank you for your favor, Lord. All right.”
“Okay, now…”
Maengju continued, lightly rubbing his hands together.
“…You better leave now.”
Han Ibi quickly answered.
“yes. Of course. “The elders have a lot to say…”
Zhuge Yuxian interrupted him.
“no.”
Han Ibi was puzzled and looked at Maeng Ju.
Zhuge Yuxian said.
“Not you, but the Hubuk branch manager.”
Eh? Not me?
Then Gil Jang-han understood immediately and responded immediately.
“All right.”
As expected, the inspection team is like a sword.
Gil Jang-han immediately turned around and left the office after receiving his order.
It was then.
Han Yi-bi noticed someone quietly appearing behind Zhuge Yuxian.
A familiar face.
It was King Yeseong.
Although Han Ibi was somewhat surprised, she bowed politely.
King Yeseong responded.
“The energy radiating from your entire body is unusual. “It looks like you’ve been through a lot during this time.”
“yes. “Thank you…”
Han Yi-bi trailed off and tried to think about why this prince kept looking for her.
King Yesung said with a grin.
“Your appearance seems to have improved… somehow, you seem to be getting more handsome as the days go by.”
“Ahaha. “It’s probably because of the prince’s mood.”
At that time, King Yeseong’s expression changed to a serious one and he said.
“Do you remember what I said?”
“yes?”
Han Ibi raised her eyes and tried to remember his words.
And then…
“Ah! I remembered. “He told me to make sure to obtain the status of Little Five Demon Dragon.”
I probably would have done it already.
King Yeseong said.
“Is that all?”
“Hmm, I remember….”
“Okay. It doesn’t matter. I said I would tell you why I was keeping an eye on you. “If you are deemed eligible.”
“Oh, I think you said that. So, am I… qualified?”
“Hmm. Well, that’s it for now.”
So then, what is that vague answer?
Ebi Han said.
“Then, please tell me.”
“good. But it would be better for the Maeng family head to give an explanation.”
Then Maeng Gap-son cleared his throat, stepped forward, and spoke.
“Adventure. Of course. Prince. “Tak’s ambition is not something new, but…”
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian intervened.
“joy. It can no longer be said to be long. “His hasty actions have been exposed to the world.”
“That’s right. “I was carefully observing Zhuo Buyong’s greed… but I never imagined that he would be so closely tied to the current events in Wulin.”
Ebi Han said.
“To say that he is a bad person is not enough. “I still regret not being able to kill him.”
“no. That’s not right. It is an act that does not comply with the laws of the government or the rules of the Murim Alliance. You must not act arbitrarily. “He must be punished in accordance with the law.”
“I see.”
“Anyway, looking at the series of events, it seems like someone is leading these strange events.”
Han Ibi nodded and thought.
‘Could it be an evil spirit…?’
“It is presumed that that ‘someone’ exerts influence not only on the Safa and Demonic Cult groups but also on political faction figures.”
“He seems to have some kind of ability.”
“It is believed that they are aiming for something big, but at the moment we cannot make any predictions.”
Oh my, it’s frustrating. Why are you talking around like that?
“So what is the conclusion?”
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian spoke.
“You can’t say it has nothing to do with you.”
“yes?”
“Jongli-se.”
“You mean our… family?”
“okay. The first person to create the Zhongli family….”
Of course, Han Yi Fei also knew the general information as she was in sync with Zhongli Mae.
Jongli Sanghyeon (鍾離常賢)
A man of outstanding and good character who founded the world?
Of course, the dream of Yeomsaji contains more unknown information, but… In any case
, it seems
that he was not good at nurturing talent, or that he became more and more ruined as the years passed…. Zhuge Yuxian continued.
“The story of Lord Jongga is not well known.”
You’ll have to pretend you don’t know.
Han Ibi said while shrugging her shoulders.
“I just know him as a very nice person.”
“Zhonglimae.”
Zhuge Yuxian looked straight at Zhong Limei.
The sight was quite scary, so Han Ibi swallowed her saliva and answered.
“yes.”
“Why do you think your family became like that?”
I’m trying to purify the situation, but in reality, I’m asking why it failed.
Han Ibi shook her head and said with a sigh.
To some extent, it makes sense to be a little sad.
“I do not know. They were so kind and sincere…”
Except for me.
No, to be exact, it’s Zongrimae….
“Have you ever heard of this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Zongli Immortal Ball.”
Tiing.
Suddenly, Han Ibi’s head began to spin.
Zhongli formless ball… Zhongli formless ball… Zhongli formless ball!
Why haven’t I heard of it!
Isn’t this the name that the masked people were desperately looking for when Han Ibi first fell to the bottom of this martial forest?
Zhuge Yuxian’s eyes lit up when he saw Han Yi Fei’s reaction.
“Have you heard of it?”
“yes. I’ve heard of it. “The people who invaded our family told us that.”
Then Maeng Gap-son spoke this time.
“There was a time, a long time ago, when such words were secretly circulated in Gangho.”
Han Ibi asked.
“What do you mean?”
“He who gains the martial arts of Zhongli will gain power, and he who gains the wisdom of Jinzi will gain the world.”
“This is my first time hearing this.”
Zhuge Yuxian said with a smile.
“Of course it is. “It was a long time ago.”
“Still, I feel a bit flattered to see that Zhongjia’s martial arts skills are highly regarded.”
“But gradually, the powerful people, who saw the decline of the Zhongli family, began to lose interest in him.”
“Well, I understand that, but what is Geumja’s wisdom?”
“Geumja refers to a cunning master named Geumsaik (琴思益) in the past… It means that a person who has learned his books can rule the world.”
At that time, King Yesung intervened.
“joy! This is truly a cruel act. “The Emperor is looking over the world with his eyes straight open…”
The atmosphere became desolate.
Then, perhaps because he thought it was a bit too much, King Yeseong added.
“Of course, sensible royals like me don’t believe that.”
Han Ibi felt a chill run down her spine.
Of course, it wasn’t because of King Yesung’s remarks.
Geum Saik’s book that says you can win the world.
In other words, the person with the tenacity for tactical strategy
was none other than Han Ibi herself.
‘Unbelievable. ‘Was that book that great?’
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian spoke.
“During the Great War that took place over 200 years ago, the Demonic Cult demonstrated its skills for the first time. “Through decades of meticulous preparation.”
“This is a group with great patience.”
“No one could match the martial arts of Gyeon-cheon, the leader of the Demonic Cult at the time.”
This is a repertoire I hear a lot.
“At that time, the person who appeared was Zhongli Shangxian, the head of the Zhongli family. He disguised himself as a disciple of the Kunlun sect and entered the war.”
“yes? Kunlun faction? “Why is that like that?”
“Well, you don’t know. Anyway, after a fierce struggle with his mysterious martial arts skills, he overpowers Gyeoncheon and rises to the rank of the best person in the world.”
Then Han Ibi said as if she was surprised.
“ah! “Are you saying that the head of the Zong Li Ce family… was the greatest person in the world?”
Actually, this is what I saw in the dream of Yeomsaji.
“But according to his wishes, this matter has been kept completely secret. “There were only a handful of people who witnessed it… so it was completely unknown for a while.”
Han Ibi said as if she realized for a moment.
“iced coffee! “That mysterious martial arts technique is… Zhongli Martial Arts.”
