Episode 259. I Must Have a Teacher (6)

The problem that Hanbin laid out on the janggi board was quite famous in the martial arts world.

The reason this problem became famous was simple.

It was when the Shaolin monk Ilji, one of the three masters of martial arts, was passing an unknown mountain.

As the two old men, who looked like freshmen, were playing chess, Ilji Ambassador is said to have taken a peek at the chess board.

One of the two old men told Ambassador Ilji to find a trick to keep watching.

The challenge was to move the chess pieces three times to force the opponent into a one-sided move.

The ambassador said that he pondered the problem for a long time until he stayed up all night, but was unable to solve it, and when he came to, the two old men were gone.

At that time, Ambassador Ilji was said to have been on his way to the hero competition held by Gupaebang. It is said that Ambassador Ilji relayed this issue to others there.

However, no one has found a solution to this problem.

It started in the martial arts world, but spread to the common people.

Yet no one has solved this problem.

This is how the issue became famous.

Thanks to this, this problem has become one of the teenage riddles of Gangho.

It was two years ago that Dokgo-ryeon encountered this problem.

She became obsessed with this issue.

Baduk is a game for gods?

Whenever he heard that, Dokgo-ryeon snorted.

The true god’s game was chess.

Dokgo-ryeon swallowed hard.

That also made me tilt my head for a moment.

I was curious as to why this problem was posed on a chess board made of iron.

“What do you mean this is a gift? Are you going to give me this chess board?”

“No. This is still useful, so I can’t give it to you as a gift.”

“Then what was the gift?”

“Senior, aren’t you curious about the solution to this problem?”

“You mean you know?”

“Yes, I know. That’s why you said it was a gift, right?”

“Hmm, then explain quickly.”

“Not now.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t a gift something that is best when exchanged?”

“Oh my… … What would you like to receive as a gift?”

“I haven’t thought about anything yet. I think it would be better to talk about work first and then discuss gifts.”

“Work… … .”

“Please wait a moment.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly.

At that sound, a story appeared.

Dokgo-ryeon narrowed his eyes at Seol-hwa’s movements.

It wasn’t just the movements of a maid.

Dokgo-ryeon looked at Hanbin as if he was dumbfounded.

It was absurd that a child of a martial arts family would have such a maid.

To others, the Gangbuk Odaesega was a huge group, but to Dokgo-ryeon, it was just one of the many martial arts groups common in the martial arts world.

But it was strange that Hanbin was using a skilled person, who was hard to find even in the Apostolic Realm, as a maid.

Hanbin nodded to Seolhwa without paying attention to Dokgo-ryeon’s gaze.

Seol-hwa, who caught Han-bin’s gaze, silently handed over the bundle.

When Hanbin nodded, Seolhwa put the bundle down in front of Dokgo-ryeon.

Dokgo Ryun wiggled his eyebrows at that sight.

Dokgo-ryeon thoroughly investigated Hanbin before meeting him today.

That’s why I had a feeling what was in that bundle.

“Are you talking about signing a contract with me right now? As expected, you’re not one inch removed from the rumors!”

“Senior, why are you so impatient? Please take a closer look.”

As Hanbin finished speaking, Seolhwa carefully opened the bundle.

Inside, instead of writing brush and ink, there was a teapot and fragrant tea leaves.

It was different from regular tea leaves, and just by opening the bundle, the fragrance of the tea leaves spread everywhere.

Hanbin looked at Dokgo-ryeon and smiled.

“On a late night like this, enjoying a cup of tea while smelling the grass is one of life’s pleasures.”

“Haha, that guy with no blood on his head is talking like a god.”

“Well, how much do I know about life? I just thought the tea and the mood were perfect for the moment.”

When Hanbin finished speaking and nodded, Seolhwa handed him a teapot.

Dokgo Ryun tilted his head at that sight.

Because it seemed like they were trying to pour tea into the teacup without even boiling it.

Dokgo-ryeon’s head tilted one more step.

This was because the sight of Hanbin carefully holding the teapot with both hands was strange.

Dokgo-ryeon’s eyes widened after watching for a while.

The teapot was steaming.

The method of Samaejinhwa was clear. If it was Hanbin’s level that Dokgo-ryeon had confirmed, it wouldn’t be that difficult to gather extreme yang energy in one’s hand and heat the teapot.

The problem here was that I felt no energy whatsoever.

Even from Hanbin’s palm, no heat could be felt.

What on earth happened?

Then Hanbin spoke in a quiet voice.

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

Dokgo-ryeon quickly regained his composure.

“Thank you.”

Uruk.

The teacup full of tea was giving off steam.

The two were silent for a while.

Dokgo-ryeon couldn’t ask Hanbin any more questions.

Because Hanbin looked so cheerful while drinking tea.

Now, I couldn’t find any desire or purpose in Hanbin.

I just became one with nature and quietly enjoyed the tea.

The sound of tea being poured and the faint scent of tea spread through the quiet mountainside.

How much time has passed?

The sound of wild animals’ footsteps began to be heard here and there.

The wild beast that rules this mountain knows in advance when the sun will rise.

It is preparing breakfast in advance knowing that the sun will rise.

Hanbin put down his teacup and said.

“It was fun talking with you, senior. I learned a lot.”

“Hmm, I see, since you said so.”

“I understand that you have given your permission to discuss the stories we shared earlier.”

“Whoever wants… … .”

“Then you can answer me later. I will also tell you the answer to the question I asked earlier then.”

“Haha, you punk. I guess I’ll just go.”

Contrary to his words, Dokgo-ryeon smiled faintly.

With that smile, Dokgo-ryeon disappeared.

Hanbin looked at Dokgo-ryeon, who was moving away, with pleased eyes.

It seemed like Hanbin had taken what he had planned.

What about the rest of the work?

You just have to proceed slowly from now on.

I have developed a pretty strong relationship with the absolute ruler of Gangnam Sapa.

Hanbin, who was smiling, called out to Dokgo-ryeon, who was trying to turn around.

“Senior, please wait a moment.”

“What are you calling me to get me to eat again?”

“Please take a pair of chess pieces as a souvenir of meeting me.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin swept the pieces on the janggi board as fast as lightning.

Sigh.

Then he put the long stick back into the leather pouch.

Hanbin politely handed the pouch to Dokgo Ryun.

“A chess piece made of iron is not common. Next time you play chess, think of me.”

“Huh, your face is as thick as black iron.”

Dokgo-ryeon, who had finished speaking, pointed to Hanbin’s face with his fan.

Hanbin just smiled brightly and didn’t answer.

Dokgo Ryun put the leather pouch he had received from Hanbin into his bosom.

Then he turned around as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.

The presence of Dokgo-ryeon, which had been gradually fading away, has now completely disappeared.

Hanbin sighed as Dokgo-ryeon disappeared.

“Phew, he really is a difficult person to deal with.”

“I thought you were enjoying it earlier?”

When Seolhwa asked, Hanbin shrugged his shoulders.

“Did I look like that?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Then it’s a success, haha.”

As Hanbin burst into laughter, Akbi-kwang, who had been watching the scene from the rock, came running.

“Brother, what the heck… … .”

“What happened today is something only you should know, Bigwang.”

“When did your martial arts skills increase so much?”

“That’s a secret.”

“Didn’t I say I’d pay for everything later?”

“This one is a bit expensive. It’s the same Gangbuk Odaesega, so isn’t it impossible to uproot the pillars of the Shandong Musicians?”

“Hmm, then I won’t listen.”

“Yeah, that would be good. By the way, you clean them up.”

“Who is it?”

“If you lie on the cold floor, won’t your mouth turn?

At Hanbin’s words, Akbigwang walked towards the fallen warriors.

Then he attempted to decompress.

Pick!

Akbigwang, who had just taken a look at the bloodline of a warrior, shook his head.

“Brother, the bleeding is not going away!”

“Who told you to do a bloodletting? If you try to release the blood that the master has suppressed, you’ll end up in trouble. Just gather them around the campfire.”

“Who?”

“All of them.”

“omg!”

Akbi Kwang’s eyes grew wide.

Of course, Akbi Kwang had no idea about the warriors Hanbin had subdued.

Hanbin could have just released it himself, but he had no intention of doing anything about the increased workload.

Hanbin snickered at Akbi Kwang’s surprised expression and then spoke to Cheonghwa.

“You light the bonfire again.”

“Yes, I will warm it up for you, Your Majesty.”

Cheonghwa began to pick up branches from the surrounding area.

Thanks to the decisive battle between Hanbin and Dokgo-ryeon, there were pieces of wood scattered around that could be used as firewood.

Seolhwa asked.

“Shall I pick up some acorns?

“What acorn?”

“The evil prince is moving people now. It would be better if he gathered up some acorns and laid out some fallen leaves around the campfire… … .”

“It’s okay, just leave it.”

“Are you okay?”

“It feels good to be acupressured. This is also a form of training.”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

At the same time, everyone stopped moving and looked at Hanbin.

Akbi Kwang, who had been watching for a long time, started to move faster.

I thought that if I looked bad, I would be in big trouble.

After a while.

By the time we had a cup of tea, everything had settled down.

Hanbin said, looking at the campfire.

“Okay, let’s take a break now. Let’s enjoy the bonfire for a bit.”

“What do you mean, an ordinary campfire? No matter how I look at it, there’s nothing special about it, brother.”

“Is a night like tonight common? It’s a bonfire on an uncommon night.”

“Hmm, that’s true.”

“The intense flames will soon disappear.”

“Just add more firewood.”

“No, the flames of the bonfire can’t be this visible when the sun rises.”

“… … .”

“I bet today was a learning experience for Bi-kwang.”

“What kind of studying are you talking about? I was just anxious.”

“There is nothing in the world that is not a teacher. Confucius said. Among the ten symbols of longevity, there is definitely one who is my teacher.”

“Brother, if it’s not the ten longevity symbols, but the three people walking together, isn’t it the saying that there must be a teacher when they walk together (三人行)?”

Hanbin smiled brightly at Akbigwang’s rebuttal and looked at him.

“Then Seolhwa and Cheonghwa will be my teachers. Are you trying to be my teacher now?”

“Huh, what are you talking about… … .”

“Then just leave it as the ten symbols of longevity.”

Akbigwang was speechless at Hanbin’s serious expression.

He just nodded with a sigh.

“ah.”

For a moment, Akbigwang tilted his head slightly.

This is because it seems that the number 10 in the Ten Longevity Symbols was given special emphasis.

Hanbin looked at the fallen people without paying attention to Akbi Kwang’s gaze.

In a way, all of these people might have been teachers.

Each and every one of these is a member of the Gangho.

Wasn’t the first message of the Yongrin Sword Technique to find the scattered knots in the martial arts world?

Hanbin smiled brightly.

Whether it was the Ten Longevity Symbols or the Three-person Haeng, there was a teacher in the martial arts world.

Thanks to you, I was able to restore the Ohodan Gate and obtain the Gugyeol today, right?

Hanbin slowly thought back on everything that had happened so far.

Of course, it was the same for others.

Seolhwa recalled the confrontation between Hanbin and Dokgo-ryeon and tried to find her own shortcomings.

And yet, he kept biting into the candy.

Cheonghwa was chewing on the rice cake and thinking about how she would get the money to buy rice cakes in the future.

Then he looked at Hanbin quietly.

When it comes to making money, Hanbin was the best teacher.

It wasn’t because I earned a lot, but because I earned it easily.

Cheonghwa wanted to live the rest of her life a little easier.

Akbi Kwang forgot everything that had happened today and quietly looked out over the mountain.

Because the goal was to find someone.

It was a time when everyone was deep in thought, looking at the bonfire.

Those who had fallen woke up one by one.

The first one to wake up was Danggi-myeong.

When the name of the person in question made a sound, Hanbin turned his head.

As soon as his eyes met Hanbin’s, Danggi-myeong groaned and walked forward with difficulty.
