Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 485



Only Noblemtl

485. The genius Confucian scholar of Yulim Seowon (8)

Even when Jang Hye-hwa looked surprised, Jang Yu-jung responded indifferently.

“I heard so.”

“Isn’t Habukpangga a free-spirited thing? But you’re saying that it’s close to the correct answer to the question my brother gave me?”

“To be exact, it’s not that they got close, but they caught the edge. I think it was possible because they were born as a warrior. It’s the nature of a warrior to move with their body before logic.”

“Hmm, that might be true.”

It was when Jang Hye-hwa nodded her head.

Suddenly they disappeared.

Jang Yu-jung said at that sight.

“I think this is it.”

“Just wait a moment, brother.”

Jang Hye-hwa wanted to watch the kind-hearted Confucian scholar’s ​​activities a little longer.

“Hmm, then let’s just watch for a moment and then go.”

Jang Yu-jung was leaning against a nearby rock, looking at the place they had left.

For a moment, Jang Yu-jung opened his eyes wide.

I saw Hanbin gathering clues.

It felt like someone had taught me the right answer.

However, the only person who knew the answer was Jang Yu-jung within Yulim Seowon.

Even her younger sister, Jang Hye-hwa, didn’t know exactly what problem she had caused.

I just knew that this was a testing site.

The test location and test content are different for each class of Yulim Seowon.

Of course, it’s her job to set up the testing room.

For that reason, Jang Hye-hwa wasn’t that surprised.

However, I was curious about what was going on in Jang Yu-jung’s mind as he opened his eyes wide.

“Brother, why are you so surprised?”

“Listen to me now. Doesn’t it seem as if you’re reading my mind and arguing so clearly?”

“So, did you get the answer?”

“Haven’t I said over and over again that it’s not the right answer that’s important, but the process of solving it? Even if you reveal the right answer, if you can’t prove the process of solving it, you can’t give it to someone.”

“Brother, you are really mean to the freshmen.”

“Still, it’s really surprising. For such a Confucian scholar to come from Habukpengga… … . This is a blessing for the country, a blessing for the country. After a long time, I’ve met a genius who will become a true official. Let’s go now. I won’t be able to guess the answer, but I should throw a party just for this.”

“Is that it?”

“haha.”

Jang Yu-jung answered with a laugh.

It was the first time in a long time that he smiled sincerely.

He planned to write to his acquaintances when he returned that a useful talent had appeared.

It was clear that all the friends who received the letter would ask for that talent for themselves.

The corners of Jang Yu-jung’s mouth were already rising as he thought about that.

* * *

Hanbin smiled brightly after finishing his explanation.

It was a really fun strategy.

Hanbin didn’t know that this formation itself would be a testing ground.

I never imagined that there would be a proctor there.

Hanbin raised his voice slightly so that the test supervisor could hear.

After finishing his explanation, Hanbin looked around and continued speaking.

“Then let’s find the rest.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Cheonghwa began to observe the rabbits with eagle eyes.

At that sight, Seolhwa said:

“Just wait a minute.”

As Seolhwa took out the bundle, Hanbin, who was next to her, took something out of his arms first.

“Here, use this.”

“Oh my god, how did you know I was looking for this?”

Seolhwa accepted the item Hanbin handed her with a surprised expression.

It was none other than a silver needle.

“I had similar thoughts to you anyway.”

“Hehehe, I’m so happy, Your Majesty.”

Seol-hwa, smiling brightly, started to throw silver needles at the rabbit.

The silver needles were all inserted into a specific spot.

It was the rabbit’s belly part.

Hanbin nodded at that sight.

“Wow, how did you know about the rabbit’s blood type?”

“… … .”

Seolhwa did not answer, but carefully observed Hanbin’s complexion.

Hanbin asked at that sight.

“You got it. Well, there’s a saying in Jianghu that no matter what you do, you’ll just have to go to Beijing, so it’s okay.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked at the rabbit.

They were able to obtain most of the letters carved into the rabbit.

Seolhwa began to record the letters she had discovered from the rabbit.

The letters on the sky gradually increased.

[Time. Not.

Yeol (說). Yi (而).

Habit. Practice.

[Yes. Yes.]

There were eight letters in total, and among the remaining rabbits, there were some that did not have letters.

The rabbits were frozen with their bellies exposed.

At that sight, Seolhwa said:

“I think it would be best to let him go now, Your Majesty.”

“Take it out of the blood vessel and put it in the blood vessel.”

“yes?”

Seolhwa opened her eyes wide.

While the blood cuff was used to restrict movement, the main blood cuff was used to increase energy.

“We have to mark it as ours… … .”

As Hanbin was about to explain, Cheonghwa grabbed Hanbin’s sleeve with an urgent expression.

“Master, we are in trouble.”

“What’s the big deal?”

“I can’t see the little boy. He must have gotten lost while hunting rabbits. Should I go look for him?”

“Hmm, let’s give him some time.”

“Is it okay?”

“I think it will be okay.”

Hanbin looked somewhere and smiled.

At that sight, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa looked at each other as if they were relieved.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“Then shall we try to guess the letters now?”

At Hanbin’s words, Cheonghwa narrowed her eyes and focused on the words.

Hanbin asked at that sight.

“Qinghua is amazing! He studied the Analects… … .”

“I don’t know the Analects, Confucius.”

“But how are you going to decipher this text?”

“Won’t it come out if you keep looking? As Confucius always said, even if you don’t know, just knock. Then, a contract will come out.”

“ah.”

Hanbin opened his mouth wide.

Now that I think about it, I think I said something similar.

At that moment, Seolhwa opened her mouth.

“I think I know. I have studied the Analects.”

“Wow, is it true, unnie?”

“That’s right.”

“You must not have had time, so when did you learn it?”

“Hmm, that’s… … .”

Seolhwa trailed off.

In fact, being a killer was an extreme job.

The very act of risking another person’s life is a situation in which you are bound to have many enemies.

To reduce that mistake, camouflage was absolutely necessary.

For example, if someone disguises himself as a scholar but doesn’t know the passages of Confucius or Mencius, he would naturally be suspected.

For that reason, I only learned the Four Books and Three Classics and paintings superficially.

But I remembered the passage now because it was the first part of the Analects.

Seolhwa said confidently.

“Well, there is a saying, ‘If you learn and practice from time to time, why can’t you say it?’ Cheonghwa. If you put the letters together well, the only thing missing is the character ‘學’.”

“Sister, you’re amazing!”

Cheonghwa clapped her hands excitedly.

Clap, clap.

“So, has the problem been solved now, Confucius?”

“Not yet.”

“Why? I figured out all the letters.”

“This problem will not end until we catch the last rabbit. Perhaps this problem was not set out for anyone to solve.”

“What does that mean?”

“Look carefully at the writing on the rabbit.”

“Why the letters?”

“If you look closely, this is a little different from regular ink. It seems to be black oil mixed with ink imported from the West.”

“Why on earth is it like that… … .”

“It’s probably to keep it from being erased even when it rains.”

“Then you are being considerate of the students.”

“The funny thing is that this is the rabbits’ shedding season. If all that hair falls out, if you can’t gather all the hairs one by one, you can’t untie them.”

“Well, why is that?”

As Cheonghwa tilted her head, Seolhwa slyly chimed in.

“You want me to eat shit? What do you think?”

“Gasp, sis!”

“Oh, sorry, I got excited without realizing it. If I don’t catch this rabbit in a few days, all the clues will be gone. Thinking about that, I got excited without realizing it.”

As Seolhwa became more cheerful, Hanbin continued speaking.

“Perhaps it’s a warning to the freshmen.”

“What warning?”

“A warning that learning never ends. And look here carefully.”

Hanbin smiled brightly and picked up a rabbit.

Then he touched the rabbit’s nape.

When I pulled the hair aside, there was a thin thread there.

At the end of the thread, a piece the size of a fingernail was hanging.

It was a strange sight, as if a rabbit was wearing a badge.

Hanbin took off the piece from around the rabbit’s neck and showed it to Seolhwa.

“Look at this.”

“Hmm, there’s something written here.”

Seolhwa opened her mouth.

That would be the case, because the letters written on the fur were also written on the tree.

The point was that even if you check the letters, it would all be in vain if there was no evidence.

“The funny thing is, this is a material that melts when exposed to rain.”

Seolhwa quickly pointed around.

“Then let’s quickly catch the rabbit. Confucius, stay here. Cheonghwa and I will catch the rabbit.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting here for you, So-gun.”

As Hanbin nodded, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa dispersed.

* * *

The little prince was now in a dilemma.

I ran around like crazy trying to catch a colorful rabbit.

At first, I ran to catch a rabbit.

But then the purpose changed.

The little boy just liked running.

As I ran around like crazy, I felt a strange sense of liberation.

I don’t remember exactly, but my instincts told me that this was the first time I felt this kind of liberation.

The rabbit was the guide and the little prince himself was the follower.

After running so frantically, the rabbit finally stopped.

Only then did the little boy come to his senses and catch the rabbit.

The moment he was about to catch the rabbit and turn back, So-gun realized something was wrong.

Hanbin’s words that a formation had been set up here before were true.

He looked around while holding the rabbit and saw that he was standing in a place that was only a hundred feet away.

Regardless of left, right, front, or back, if I took just one step, it was a thousand-foot cliff.

The little boy couldn’t move even one step from there.

This may be a fantasy, but usually formations are installed by mixing them with organ devices.

There could have been spears planted densely beneath that thousand-foot cliff.

The problem is that I hadn’t been standing here for long and it suddenly got dark.

The little prince felt dizzy for a moment.

I suddenly felt extremely hungry.

Naturally, So-gun’s body began to sway from side to side.

The boy gritted his teeth and did not let go of the hand holding the rabbit.

At that moment, So-gun remembered the ornaments he had received from Zhuge Li in the morning.

This ornament was said to be a tool in divination that could tell one’s life and death.

The boy struggled to remove the ornament from his head.

Then he quickly pressed his wings.

In an instant, the ornaments changed into squares, just as Zhuge Li had demonstrated.

Inside the square, countless Bagua were densely engraved.

The little boy looked around through the jewelry.

what?

The little prince tilted his head.

There were several paths branching out within this small space.

If you took even one step away, it was over.

The soldier swallowed dry saliva and focused on the accessories.

She slowly stepped out of the formation, looking ahead through the ornaments.

As soon as I left the formation, a cool breeze tickled my nose.

Whee.

The little prince let out a sigh.

“phew.”

That was when.

Seolhwa’s voice was heard.

“Sir, are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay, sis.”

“Okay, you go see Confucius. I have to finish looking for the rabbit… … .”

“I caught one too, sis.”

The little boy held out a rabbit.

At that moment, Seolhwa opened her eyes wide.

“How on earth did you catch this?”

The reason why Seolhwa was so surprised was simple.

The rabbit that So-gun just handed over had the word ‘學’ (學) clearly written on it.
