Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 31



Only Noblemtl

Episode 31. Do you believe it? (2)

Sim Mi-ho was hanging on to the rope that was laid out on the edge.

Hanbin, who had been watching for a while, shouted again.

“Assistant, stay in your position!”

At the same time, Sim Mi-ho pulled the rope.

Hanbin, who saw Sim Miho return using the recoil of the swinging rope, looked at So Daeseop with a satisfied expression and continued speaking.

“Have you seen the small intestine?”

“Yes, I saw it. But what is this… … .”

Hanbin spoke before So Dae-seop finished asking his question.

“Everyone, hold on to the rope.”

“… … .”

So Dae-seop looked at Han-bin and the rope alternately as if he didn’t understand English.

Of course, the warriors at the back were not much different from So Dae-seop.

At that sight, Hanbin whispered to Sodaeseop.

“Sir, ask your men?”

“yes?”

“Should I grab the rope or bury my head in it?”

Although the voice was not loud, the Guardians’ warriors, without exception, ran towards the rope.

At that time, the owner, So Dae-seop, was about to run according to Han Bin’s orders.

“Please wait a moment, So Dae-ju!”

“My lord, why are you doing this?”

When So Dae-seop tilted his head and asked, Han-bin answered.

“The person in charge is the one giving the small amount of food.”

“Yes, then am I excluded?”

“I prepared something a little different for Daejoo.”

Hanbin pointed to the end.

There was a stronger-looking rope tied between the pillars.

So Dae-seop looked at Han Bin with a tearful expression.

“Thank you. For taking such great care of my safety… … .”

“Don’t worry about it and just focus on your training, So Daeju.”

The captain ran and grabbed the rope from the cliff.

It was around tea time that he realized something was wrong.

The problem was the thickness of the rope.

Compared to the other members, the thick rope made So Dae-seop more tired.

The difference between a rope that fits snugly in your hand and a thick rope that is difficult to hold with one hand is greater than you might think.

Right now, So Dae-seop was expending several times more strength than his subordinates.

When everyone’s breathing became ragged as if they were exhausted, Hanbin spoke.

“You have to hold out for exactly one hour.”

“… … .”

Everyone stared at Hanbin as if they had no energy to speak.

Hanbin continued speaking as if he knew their questions.

“What are the chances that a soldier who drops his sword in battle will survive?”

“… … .”

“Now think of that rope as your sword and lifeline.”

“… … .”

Everyone gritted their teeth in silence.

Hanbin smiled brightly at that sight and spoke again.

“There is a safety device installed to prevent you from getting hurt if you fall down, so you don’t have to worry about getting hurt. If you want to give up, you can let go.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin gestured to Sim Miho.

Sim Mi-ho, who quickly approached, said.

“My lord, is there anything you would like to give…?”

“Did you take out the poisonous snake like I told you?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I took them out, but there might have been a few mixed in.”

“Well, that’s okay.”

Hanbin smiled brightly and waved his hand.

So Dae-seop looked down at their conversation.

I thought there was a net at the bottom of the cliff, but now I know what it was.

“omg!”

There were writhing snakes all over their feet.

So Dae-seop now understood the meaning of the word ‘Sashin-dae’.

And as he came up, it was clear that he was talking about the snake and not the food ingredient.

The Guardians, who saw the snakes squirming below, grabbed the rope more tenaciously.

At that sight, Sim Mi-ho asked quietly.

“Master, is this training effective?”

“Of course, because I experienced it myself.”

“When?”

“That’s a secret.”

What Hanbin said was true.

Of course, I was talking about my experiences from a past life.

Hanbin, who had been chatting for a while, asked as if he remembered something.

“Vice President Shim, are you ready for what I said?”

“Ah, that’s… … . Not yet.”

“It’ll be a bit hard to find in Habuk. Still, try hard to find out. Since the work here is over, go out and ask around.”

“Yes, I will do my best.”

Sim Mi-ho stepped down while holding a lottery ticket.

What Hanbin asked Sim Miho for just now was a mountain herb.

It is said to be poisonous, but in reality, the poison of the mountain air was closer to a neutralizer.

San Gong Dok restores yin energy and yang energy.

Since all martial arts are based on the principles of yin and yang, it was natural that one would not be able to use martial arts if one was poisoned by the mountain spirits.

However, it was different in this Cheonsujang, where yang energy overflowed.

San-gong-dok was no different from an elixir that could purify a polar bear and turn it into a pure polar bear.

It takes at least three months for a shaman to absorb yang energy and become a spirit plant with spiritual energy.

There aren’t enough days until the promised wedding.

If he couldn’t get the mountain spirit within a few days, he would have to use one of the three aids promised by the Ronin King.

* * *

That night, in the quarters of the Guardians at Cheonsujang, everyone was wide awake with their eyes wide open.

Hehehe.

Hehehe.

They couldn’t sleep because of the ear-piercing noise coming from the ceiling.

While everyone was just staring blankly, the youngest, Joho, looked to the side and whispered.

“Mister Jangsam, are you sleeping?”

“Why is that?”

Jang Sam also answered that he couldn’t sleep.

“Let’s escape.”

“Shall we escape?”

“Well, I already received a favor, so I’ll just run away from here. I’m going to die like this. The scent of the lower village seems like it’ll run away too.”

“If I leave here, I have nowhere to go.”

“Don’t do that. Let’s do our business.”

“Do you have capital to start a business?”

“Even if I work hard, it’s better than here. I can save up for it little by little.”

“No. I’ll hold out and then take the money and leave.”

Jang Sam looked up at the ceiling.

Jo Ho nodded at that sight. Jang Sam wasn’t saying that he would win the duel with Su Hoi Dae.

It was said that if you hold on until the end, you will receive a blessing.

“Okay, then I’ll go alone.”

After finishing speaking, Joho stood up from his seat.

Joho was more confident than anyone when it came to running.

He pretended to go to the bathroom and quietly left the room.

Jang Sam pretended not to see Jo Ho running away like that.

Joho left the accommodation and headed towards the fence while trying to hide his presence as much as possible.

A wall appeared just fifty paces ahead.

If you run like lightning and jump over the fence, you will be free.

The ten nyang of silver I was supposed to receive after finishing my training loomed before my eyes, but I decided to make that decision because I thought my life would end if I kept thinking about it.

Ta-da-dak.

Joho ran to the wall, stepped on the middle of the wall, and jumped over it.

It was so easy that I felt like all the tension I had felt up until then was gone.

Joho, who got up after shaking off his pants, was startled and took a step back.

There was only a face floating before Joho’s eyes.

“Ear, ghost.”

“What are you so surprised about?”

Joho, who had been taking a step back at the voice, opened his eyes wide.

Because the voice right now was clearly Hanbin’s.

Upon closer inspection, what he thought was a face was actually a lamp.

Hanbin approached, holding a lantern.

“Are you trying to jump?”

Joho, startled by Hanbin’s words, took out the silver coin from his bosom.

“I will give it back to you. And as of today, I will withdraw from the Guardians.”

This was sincere.

Rather than undergoing this kind of training that had no effect, I thought it would be better to go out to the ronin market and look for work.

Behind the lantern, the corners of Hanbin’s mouth went up.

“Are you looking at the contract as water?”

Hanbin handed over the contract.

However, Joho could not read the writing.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just gave the money back?”

Joho’s speech became slightly more polite.

Hanbin answered with a smile.

“Isn’t it written here? The deposit is ten times the down payment.”

“omg!”

Joho rubbed his eyes and buried his face in the contract.

Hanbin smiled brightly, took back the contract, and put it in his arms.

* * *

The next day, lunch at Cheonsujang Restaurant.

Crunch!

While Joho was eating, he couldn’t stand it anymore and broke his chopsticks.

Jang Sam said at that sight.

“I don’t even have the strength to lift chopsticks, but it’s nice to be young.”

“Don’t tease me, mister.”

“But if you were escaping, why did you come here?”

“I decided not to escape. I’m going to get stronger and kill that guy.”

“Who?”

“You don’t have to know, sir.”

Joho narrowed his eyes and thought about Hanbin, whom he had met last night.

After reading the contract, Jo-ho pretended to back down quietly, but then tried to escape again, pretending to return to his quarters.

I tried that a whopping six times.

Every time, Hanbin appeared in front of me and spread out the contract.

Only then did Joho have no choice but to admit that he was a fish caught in a net.

I didn’t know that lack of strength could be so divisive.

At that time, Hanbin entered the restaurant.

The Guardians who saw Hanbin’s appearance rose up at the same time.

“My lord!”

“My lord, are you here?”

Hanbin said, waving his hand.

“Everyone, sit down. During the training period, I am just an assistant, so there is no need to be so polite. Oh, come to think of it, chopsticks are also a lifeline. A lifeline is like a lifeline, so from now on, think of chopsticks as a rope and don’t let go. I will watch over you.”

At the same time, everyone carefully picked up their chopsticks.

At that moment, Cheolno came into the restaurant.

“Confucius.”

“What’s wrong, Cheolno?”

“A guest has arrived.”

“I didn’t invite anyone?”

“The three princes have arrived.”

“The third brother is here, where is he now?”

“We have invited you to the guest room. Come this way… … .”

As Cheolno took the lead, Hanbin followed.

Hanbin, who arrived at the reception room, tilted his head.

This is because, next to the third prince, Peng Mubin, there was a warrior I had never seen before.

Peng Mubin stood up from his seat after seeing Hanbin.

“You came? Ah.”

“Yes, brother. It’s been a while. Who is this?”

The man in white robes who caught my eye took the prize.

“My name is Jang Ja-myeong. I am a medical student studying medicine.”

“Oh, you’re a doctor.”

Hanbin smiled nonchalantly.

But, the moment he heard his name, Hanbin started to think fiercely.

If it was Jang Ja-myeong, it was a name he had heard well in his previous life.

Although he was the successor to Baekdokmun, he was excommunicated after personally writing poison on external commissions and began to travel the world selling poison.

At that time, his nickname was Mandok Merchant.

He was a person who was publicly recognized in both Baekdokmun, the representative Dokmun of Gangbuk, and Sacheondangga, the representative Dokmun of Gangnam.

The name Jang Ja-myeong revealed just now is a pseudonym. However, he later became known in the martial arts world by that name.

A genius who lived a strange life.

Now before the scandal.

The question was why he had come here.

While Hanbin was rolling the abacus beads in his head, Peng Mubin opened his mouth.

“It wasn’t my intention to bully you. My second oldest brother also played a part in my intimidation, so I came to say hello to you with the intention of getting along well from now on, so I hope you don’t look at me strangely.”

“all right.”

First, Hanbin slightly bowed his head.

It was nonsense to say let’s get along.

If it was going to be resolved like this, the harassment of Hanbin would have stopped before.

Peng Mubin opened his mouth.

“The reason I want to introduce you to Jang Ja-myeong is because there are many strange phenomena occurring here… … .”

Peng Mubin’s explanation was simple.

He said he would stay here because Jang Ja-myeong was interested in the strange phenomena occurring here.

Of course, he said he would help the Guardians with his medical skills.

For a moment, Hanbin’s eyes lit up.
