Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 129
Only Noblemtl
Episode 129. Empty-handed is disappointing (4)
After a while, Jeong In-ji arrived at the training room and licked her lips bitterly.
One side of the training room door was lying on the floor, and the other side was dangling.
I remembered that this was the training room that was given to Hanbin.
“It wasn’t an intruder, but a distinguished guest who made a mess and left. Hehe.”
Jeong In-ji, who was about to turn around, stopped at the sound that followed.
thud!
The only remaining door had collapsed.
That was when.
A strange sight entered Jeong In-ji’s field of vision.
The tree branches that had been filling in the collapsed wall were dangling from the fallen door and then fell down.
Suha asked as Jeong In-ji narrowed her eyes.
“Why are you like this, my lord?”
“Give me the torch!”
Jeong In-ji snatched the torch and entered the practice room.
A bare wall came into view.
The part that Imoo-myeong and Seol-hwa had blocked was half-collapsed.
Jeong In-ji remembered this space.
Jeong In-ji’s father, the former head of the family, Jeong Mu-ryong, described this space like this.
‘A useless space full of mysteries.’
For generations, the people of Hanamjeongga have been unable to solve the secret of this space.
But Hanam Jeongga did not want to show this space to others.
So it was a blocked, abandoned place.
Before Jeong In-ji turned ten, it was an open space.
So Jeong In-ji also knew about the existence of this space.
Why is this place, which was blocked for some time, now open?
Jeong In-ji carefully looked inside through the gap.
In an instant, a secret space made of ten thousand year old rock came into his sight.
Jeong In-ji cleared the branches and shined a torch into the secret space.
And then he immediately opened his mouth.
“her…….”
Countless sword marks were visible on the wall.
Jeong In-ji found herself muttering to herself without realizing it.
“How on earth did they manage to make such marks on a wall made of 10,000 years of rock? Heh heh. Is this even possible…?”
Then the subordinate tilted his head and asked.
“What did you say, my lord?”
Jeong In-ji, who had come to her senses thanks to her subordinate, planted a torch and spoke to her subordinate.
“You go and bring your lord, no, your father.”
Jeong In-ji was so flustered that she almost forgot that she was the head of the household.
“all right.”
The luggage was deeply packed and immediately left the training room.
After a while.
Jeong Mu-ryong and Jeong In-ji, standing side by side in the secret space, looked at each other.
Jeong Mu-ryong spoke first.
“There is another sword path within one sword path.”
“There is another sword path within the divided sword path, Father.”
Jeong In-ji answered with a trembling voice.
The sword carved into the wall is reflected in the eyes of the two.
A sword within a sword.
A form of repetition of swords within swords.
Jeong Mu-ryong’s eyes wavered like rippling waves.
It was clear that the prototype of the secret technique of Hanam Jeongga, Quick Sword and Baekgyeol, which creates a hundred knots with a quick sword and uses them like a net, was the martial art.
In fact, it would have been nice if the original form of this martial art had been passed down through the family, but it is said that after the secret technique was passed down and several generations had passed, only the skeleton remained.
The best secret weapon of Hanamjeongga was made from the remaining skeleton.
Jeong Mu-ryong and Jeong In-ji carefully stroked the wall as if they were touching the head of a child.
Here was left a herbivore with infinite possibilities, capable of producing not a hundred, but a thousand, or even more.
Who on earth left this behind?
Jeong Mu-ryong’s shoulders trembled intermittently.
Joy was running through my whole body.
With just this sword, it would be enough to restore the original form of the Quick Sword and the Sword of Baekgyeol.
It was the same for Jeong In-ji.
Looking at the expression on the face of her father, Jeong In-ji, her thoughts were correct.
The father and son looked at each other.
There was a moment of silence, and then the father, Jeong Mu-ryong, spoke first.
“Do you know who came and went here?”
“I am the Four Princes of Habukpengga.”
When Jeong In-ji answered, Jeong Mu-ryong looked up at the ceiling and laughed.
“Heh heh.”
“Oh, Father! There is writing down there.”
Jeong In-ji bent down urgently to check the writing.
-Breaking engagement sword
The name of this herbivore was written there.
Jeong In-ji quietly recited the name of the herb.
“The broken engagement sword.”
“The name of this herbivore was Pahongeom. Son, but the handwriting is… … .”
When Jeong Mu-ryong trailed off, Jeong In-ji took up his words.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jeong In-ji answered with a trembling voice. The handwriting on the contract she had just seen.
Clearly, the owner of this handwriting was Han Bin, the son of the four princes of the Habuk Peng family.
Jeong In-ji, whose heart had calmed down, looked at her father.
“What on earth should I call him?”
“I don’t know. Let’s just call him Sa Gong Ja, whatever he wants.”
“Yes, father.”
Jeong In-ji nodded silently.
The day when Hanam Jeongga will soar again is not far off.
After thinking about it, Jeong In-ji bowed deeply to her father, Jeong Mu-ryong.
“Father, I was short-sighted. For a moment, I doubted his intentions. As expected, your choice was right. The phrase “generation after generation” was the right choice.”
“Okay, thank you for understanding. But, generation after generation… … .”
Jeong Mu-ryong tilted his head.
It was the first time I heard the phrase, “generation after generation.”
In fact, Jeong Mu-ryong closed his eyes several times in regret while signing the contract with Han Bin.
For that reason, I didn’t see the detailed wording.
However, Jeong Mu-ryong’s thoughts were interrupted by Jeong In-ji’s next words.
“Father. This is all thanks to your choices.”
“Yes. Now, we must put the pain behind us and make Hanam’s name known in Hanam, no, Gangnam.”
So the two rich men made a resolution.
* * *
Two days after Hanbin and his party left Hanamjeongga.
Hanbin and his party were now about to pass the entrance of Yeongdansan Mountain, which had many stories to tell.
Hanbin was leisurely looking out the window in the carriage.
However, no one knew that what Hanbin was looking at was not the scenery outside the window.
[Basic]
[… … ]
[Heart: Four]
A smile spread across Hanbin’s lips as he looked at the basics of the Yongrin Sword Technique.
Hanbin, who learned that the traces of the Yongrin Sword Technique and the connected mind were the method for obtaining the heart knot to use the Jinryongpahon Sword, arranged for it to be easy to discover the traces of the Yeongongsil after he left.
The fruit of this was now proven by the increased number of hearts.
Then why did Hanbin make this arrangement for them without any conditions?
The reason was precisely the law of destruction.
It didn’t matter whether the broken marriage sword spread widely or remained as a secret technique of the Hanam Jeongga.
The important thing was that only Hanbin knew the method of destruction.
What does this mean?
It was said that none other than Hanbin was the ultimate secret weapon of Hanam Jeongga.
Hanbin’s principle was to thoroughly manage the collateral for the debt even when giving it out.
Seol-hwa looked at Han-bin’s smile and asked with a worried expression.
“Master, your smile is a bit strange.”
“Uh, what?”
“You’re making that villainous face again, Your Majesty.”
“What kind of villain is a villain? This time, he did something really good. That’s why I laughed without realizing it.”
“Oh, I see.”
As Seol-hwa nodded her head in a soulless voice, Jo-ho rode up from outside and threw something through the open window.
Whoosh!
Seolhwa nonchalantly caught the flying skewer.
Joho, who saw the sight, smiled brightly and shouted.
“Snow flower, it’s the candy! This young uncle is shooting it.”
Seol-hwa waved as she saw Jo-ho riding away on horseback.
“Thank you, Uncle Joho.”
After finishing his greetings, Seolhwa took a bite of the candy and Hanbin shook his head.
Now, it was Sulwha who seemed content with her life, having naturally adapted to her age and appearance.
Hanbin looked outside the carriage.
Around the carriage, there are carts lined up filled with goods received from Hanamjeongga.
Although there were only a select few on the way there, the way back was noisy as they were with the Tiger Squad.
The only fortunate thing was that Gwanggae came to Hanamjeongga just before leaving.
With that promise, Hong Chil-gae and Gwang-gae headed to Gaebong Hanam Bunta with the promise that they would definitely come back to Cheonsujang once the work at Bunta was finished.
If Hong Chil-gae had come, this place would have been a mess.
As we entered the entrance of Yeongdansan, Lee Mu-myeong, who was walking ahead, raised his hand.
“Please stop for a moment.”
Imoo-myeong ran towards Han-bin and said while holding up a winning ticket.
“Master, there are too many human traces over there. From what I’ve seen, there shouldn’t be this many traces on Mt. Yeongdan.”
“Hmm, I have an idea… … .”
Hanbin stroked his chin and fell into thought for a moment.
What was expected was the work that Sapa would do at Yeongdansan Mountain.
At that time, there were quite a few Saphas who suffered from the Blood Demon.
Recovering a dead comrade is the same for both the Sapa and the Jeongpa.
Now, a little over a month later, the training is probably not over.
Then there was no problem.
Just as Hanbin was about to open his mouth, Imoo-myeong struck first.
“Master, I will go scout ahead.”
At that sight, Seol-hwa, who was in the carriage, intervened.
“Sir, I don’t think it would be best for you to not go.”
“Snow White, what does that mean?”
“Sir, your current appearance is perfect for being misunderstood.”
“What do you mean, a misunderstanding? It’s a fairy tale.”
“They’re just like bandits. They’re not the same, they’re just bandits themselves. I heard that the Sapa people aren’t very lenient towards bandits… … .”
As Seolhwa trailed off, Hanbin smiled without realizing it.
“Phew.”
How long has it been since I’ve laughed so sincerely?
Hanbin was truly grateful to them.
However, Imoo-myeong let out a sigh as if he was upset.
“My lord! Seolhwa! Phew… … .”
With that sigh, the beard he had worked so hard to keep fluttered.
In fact, Imoo-myeong’s beard was a bit excessive.
As I started to disguise myself with my beard, it became a hobby and I gradually became more and more into the bandit beard I have today.
Imoo-myeong let out a sigh, lightly kicked the ground, and disappeared into the mountain path.
The procession stopped for a moment as he disappeared.
They were busy spreading stories here and there.
So Dae-seop was comforting the men of the Tiger Corps in the front, while Jang Sam and Jo Ho were praising their achievements in Hanamjeongga in the back.
Sim Mi-ho was helping Jang Ja-myeong collect herbs on the side of the road.
It was because of Hanbin’s instructions to make sure no herbs were missed along the way.
While everyone was chatting away, Seolhwa stared blankly at Hanbin.
Hanbin tilted his head at Seolhwa’s gaze.
“Why is that? It’s Seolhwa.”
“I have a real question.”
“Hmm, if you’re curious, five iron coins.”
“Oh, Your Majesty. I don’t have any money. The old men buy me sweets… … .”
“Well, it’s free just this once. What are you curious about?”
“Why don’t you tell Confucius that you are the envoy of Qingyun?”
“Hmm, that’s too simple.”
“What’s simple?”
“In martial arts, you usually attack after looking at your opponent. But let’s say I become known as a master of Hwagyeong. What kind of people will come to you?”
“Well, of course the master of Hwagyeong will come.”
“That’s right. It’s not just the first time I’ve entered Hwagyeong, but it’s also not just the masters of this level, it’s the masters of the third level or higher who will rush in. They’re trying to defeat me and make their reputations even more widely known. Seolhwa, do I look like a real master of Hwagyeong to you?”
“that…….”
Seolhwa trailed off.
Hanbin’s ability was immeasurable.
I couldn’t be sure that it was Hwagyeong, but I couldn’t say anything less than that.
Seol-hwa, who had been trailing off, continued speaking as if she remembered something.
“But, you didn’t stop Grandpa Hong Chil-gae from spreading the news of the great mission of Cheongunsa.”
“Well, it’s a good deal since you can blow your nose without using your hands. Who would people look for if they were looking for the Envoy of Heaven?”
“Well… … .”
“Yes, of course you’ll come to me. I’m the only one officially related to the Cheongunsashin!”
When Hanbin confidently pointed at himself with his thumb, Seolhwa opened her mouth wide and barely managed to continue speaking.
“By any chance then… … .”
