EP.364
[They say a strange book flew in.]
[What strange book?]
[There was a strangely folded black paper lying in the mansion.]
[Muyeongshintu? What else did you steal?]
[That’s the problem! They left the paper behind and came to steal it! Thanks to this, the rich families who received the strange letter are now going crazy looking for escorts!]
“Is there a strange way to solve Unhyeon’s troubles? You’re warning me that you’re going to steal it. “What kind of thief would do something crazy like this?”
Why on earth did Muyeongsintu launch such a strange story? can not understand. But I’m curious. The young man continued reading.
[Recently, it is said that children in slums are disappearing. Since it is a slum, the police don’t want to worry about it, and the civilians have no reason to come out, so shouldn’t I come forward?]
[I heard that there are many places where a thief called Muyeongsintu roams around every night because of the strange crime, looking for security. Isn’t protecting the common people from thieves enough for a thief to do?] If the
current Unhyeon small hyup is left alone, it could be seriously injured. Under the pressure of the two women, Unhyeon had no choice but to take on the job of escorting the safe vault.
——–
[Unhyeon Sohyeop can guard the front of the safe. If Muyeongshintu comes to visit, please pull the handle here.]
[He was the person who ran the gambling house.]
Unhyeon knew who his employer was. A person who runs a large-scale gambling house that is prohibited by the country. I was familiar with the notoriety that had spread secretly.
[Isn’t this something someone has to do? A guy like me should donate a lot to temples and do a lot of good deeds to the poor.]
Whatever you heard, it’s all nonsense. It’s a misunderstanding. Although he runs a gambling house, he also engages in numerous charitable activities.
The employer laughed off Unhyeon’s hostility and skillfully praised himself.
[…I understand.]
A person who donates a lot to the poor. Maybe you heard wrong? Although he was certain of what he had seen and heard, Unhyeon was lost and could not figure out what to do.
“Unhyeon! What happened! You should cut it down right away… Wow! “I can’t believe I see injustice and tell you not to tolerate it!”
I definitely felt a little frustrated about the collaboration. The young man was startled by the sight of himself becoming Unhyeonhwa.
——
[It’s been a long time.]
Muyoung Shintu, disguised as if it were natural, appeared in front of Unhyeon.
“Was the reason you threw the ghost letter to meet Unhyeon as a Muyeongshintu? “Muyeongsintu’s love letters are of a different level.”
As Muyeong Shintu, not Okryeon Sojeo, how are you trying to solve Unhyeon’s concerns?
[Go back. Even though it’s a lifesaver, I have no intention of letting you take other people’s things.]
[I don’t like it. Could you please stay still while I open the safe, or quickly lower the handle you are holding on to?]
“Did you even notice the trap!”
[…It’s what you wanted. Huh?!]
When Unhyeon lowered the handle, the floor of the safe room collapsed in an instant.
[Catch it!]
The end of the pit is a spear blade tightly embedded. Muyeongsintu immediately grabbed Unhyeon and bounced him to the safety of the pit.
“Change direction while falling? “How good are you at light engineering?”
[What the hell is this….]
Unhyeon muttered in surprise as he looked at the spear blades that had probably turned him into a beehive.
[If you can kill two troublemakers at the same time, you kill two birds with one stone. Didn’t you know that the Black Island warriors you killed were people who worked under that guy?] [
They said he was a merchant who gave a lot to the poor.]
[Even like this?]
Basement. Rooms connected along a long passage. Muyeongsintu showed the children in the room making something with their skinny faces.
[This?!]
[They say children’s delicate hands are needed when making tools used for gambling.]
“He was a very vicious person!”
[It’s an intruder! Grab it!]
[A spear blade on the back. A sword blade in front. If you want to live, you know what to do, right?!]
Unhyeon obediently drew his sword. However, it was not the usual Unhyeon sword.
The man who was whipping those children could also be someone’s family member. Is it really right for me to wield a sword?
Isn’t my sword creating another grudge?
The tip of Unhyeon’s sword was shaking, but it was not the sword of Manbyeon that was shaking, but Unhyeon’s mind, which was unable to figure out what to do.
“Unhyeon! This is not the time! “There are so many black people in front of me!”
I’m worried even in a situation where I could die if I make a mistake. Of course, I understand that it is a bigger worry than anything else for Unhyeon, who has lived his whole life only looking at the thief, but isn’t it a worry that you have to worry about while still alive?
[Why are you hesitating!]
Muyeongsintu also immediately noticed Unhyeon’s abnormality.
[I, I….]
There is no way Muyeongsintu can talk about his concerns. If it’s stupid, it’s a stupid worry. However, it is a concern that others will never understand.
[Are you looking for the perfect reason to swing a knife?]
[How to do that?]
In a brief standoff. Unhyeon looked at Muyeongsintu in surprise.
[The charlatans stock here and stock there. Is that a charlatan? What is the difference from business?]
Is it a charlatan to consider profit and loss? Is it a charlatan who is afraid of resentment?
Words as sharp as a raindrop pierced Unhyeon’s shaking heart.
[From the moment I held the knife in my hand. From the moment I set foot in Moorim. Throwing yourself into the river of sorrow. But do you know what the difference is between you and me?]
[What is it?]
I thought you were just a thief. I think she can find the answer to my question.
Unhyeon, who was lost, asked to find an answer.
Muyeongsintu held up the sword at Unhyeon’s earnest gaze and opened his mouth as he looked at the black swords in front of him.
[I don’t pretend not to notice the children who are drowning in the river, even if my body gets wet.]
It doesn’t matter if they call me a thief. Even if I become evil, I will judge the greatest evil with my own hands and in my own way.
[Muyoungshintu….]
I thought he was just a thief.
Standing in front of Unhyeon was another thief named Righteous Jeok.
“Wow. This is it! A thief named Muyeongsintu. “I sent a love letter to Unhyeon to give him advice as a senior in martial arts!”
[Unhyeon Sohyeop! There seems to be a misunderstanding! If you cooperate in catching Muyeongsintu right now! I will fill your pockets with gold!]
As half of the enemies fell, the owner, feeling a sense of crisis, appeared and shouted at Unhyeon.
[Owner. Children…]
[Children? I’m mistaken! You are taking in and raising children who might starve to death tomorrow!]
It is a messy first time in the martial arts world. If you just say things randomly, they will believe you. The owner said with a smile of regret.
I didn’t know that Unhyeon had changed.
[They were children kidnapped from the slums.]
[Ha… did you know? I can’t help it. Strike!]
At the man’s command, the basement was filled with dark warriors. Even though there are no strong warriors, this is a force that even a first-time martial artist would tremble to deal with.
[I will no longer be swayed by delusion.]
But Unhyeon did not tremble. It didn’t shake. Today, for the first time, Unhyeon held his sword firmly.
[What are you talking about! Strike!]
“Gulp.”
What will happen? The young man turned the next page with a nervous mind, as if he were at the scene of an imminent disaster.
Unhyeon was in the middle of the river.
The sword was clearly cutting down the enemy, but Unhyeon was in the middle of the river.
In the middle of the river in Eunwon. He was standing in the strong current holding a sword.
If you keep putting pressure on your feet like this, you will be swept away by the river. If you let go of the sword like this, you will not be able to cut through the current.
[You cannot become a thief.]
The sword aimed at the current was shaking countless times. I was caught up in delusion and could not move forward.
You have to find a way. But how?
[Even though I get wet, I don’t pretend not to notice the children who fell into the river.]
Yes. It is not to be afraid. I will not be afraid of resentment arising from collaboration. I will not be swayed by delusion.
The tip of the sword may waver, but it is I who judge everything, and it is I who makes and breaks bonds.
I will go against the river with two unwavering feet.
[Even if the tip of the knife is shaken tens of thousands of times, I myself will not be shaken.]
From the day I was young until now. A belief that will never change. Even though all things change, I am myself who has not changed.
[The one at the center of the Bagua is myself.]
It was another trick to move on to the next part of the Bagua Sword Technique.
[What the hell is this! Oops!]
Unhyeon’s sword crossed the border, and the black swordsmen who filled the room instantly fell to their knees.
[Go out into the world and accumulate good karma. He told me to go out into the world and wield the sword because it is something that cannot be achieved in Wudang Mountain in one’s lifetime.] A
sword born for those who want to shake off all illusions and become a knight.
That was the Bagua Sword Technique.
“As expected, he is a long-time writer of the Five Great Dynasties! Indeed, Unhyeon! I never thought I would gain another enlightenment! Crazy! really!”
The young man was happy, as if he had shaken off his delusion.
———————-
[There are a lot of interesting things in the safe.]
Muyeongshintu came to the ground and opened the safe door and said.
[Why did you help me?]
Unhyeon asked as he watched in fascination as Muyeongsintu opened the safe. Why on earth did he help me? I’m still receiving help, but I don’t understand.
[sleep. Take this.]
[This?]
[It’s a secret ledger. There are things I can and cannot do. Over there, Po-Kye, who is always one step behind, is coming.]
[Have we seen you somewhere before?]
[Are you flirting at times like this?]
[That’s not it… In front are Po-Kye and the uninhabited people. There’s a lake behind it. All escape routes are blocked. If you take off your disguise now, I will help you.]
[There is no escape? Who do you think I am?]
Muyeongsintu spurred up toward the lake.
[what?! How to walk on water?]
“People walk on water? “He’s not even a Dharma Master! What the hell?!”
Do you mean to write about the story of Bodhidharma, who crossed the Yellow River with a single reed leaf? As the legendary stage unfolded, Unhyeon and the young man could not help but share the same expression.
—–
“I thought talking about charlatans was as old-fashioned as the governor said.”
Discussing charlatans is not boring at all. A beautiful thief named Muyeongsintu. Enlightenment through concerns and solutions in urgent situations.
There is even a scene where Unhyeon, who has shaken off delusion and become stronger, defeats the enemy in an instant.
Everything was fun enough to make you sweat.
“I want to swing my sword right now to become as strong as Unhyeon.”
It was difficult for the young man to control the emotions boiling in his heart. The only reason the young man did not run out to the training hall right away was because he had not yet seen the end of Volume 3 of The Tale of the Pungunhyeobgaekjeon.
“Is Volume 3 coming to an end? “It feels like drinking salt water.”
The young man turned the next page.
