Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 571
Only Noblemtl
571. Every day is new again (3)
At the sight of Hanbin narrowing his eyes, Damcheonho, the Black Tortoise, quickly waved his hand.
“Oh, no.”
“Looking at your expression, it seems a little suspicious… … .”
“It wasn’t me who spoke of Confucius… … .”
Damcheonho glanced at Jang Ja-myeong.
At that moment, Jang Ja-myeong shook his head slightly.
At that sight, Damcheonho quickly changed his words.
“I did say it, but it was praise for Confucius.”
“Ah, that’s a compliment… … .”
Hanbin looked at Damcheonho with eyes full of suspicion.
At that moment, Jang Ja-myeong intervened urgently.
“That is a compliment, Prince Peng.”
“Yes, of course it is a compliment. I have been hearing compliments about Confucius all my life. From Cheon Soo Jang and from Assemblyman Jang.”
Damcheonho, who is usually not very talkative, spoke at length.
Hanbin looked at Damcheonho with a meaningful look in his eyes as if he knew what was going on.
“Thank you for complimenting me. I guess I should pay more attention.”
“You don’t have to worry about it that much… … .”
Damcheonho trailed off.
Because I heard a cough from behind.
The one who coughed was none other than Hyeonmun.
Standing next to him was Peng Hyuk-bin.
Peng Hyuk-bin took a step forward and gave Han Bin a wink.
It meant that he had something to say.
Hanbin got up from his seat at that sight.
Hanbin got up from his seat and quietly walked to the corner.
Hanbin, who had moved away from the group, opened his mouth.
“I was going to tell you this anyway.”
“You don’t have to force yourself to speak.”
“No. I think it’s time now. There is an herb here that can cure the Tai Chi Sword.”
“When you say medicinal herbs, do you mean Samhwangcho? Peng Gongzi.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Wasn’t it supposed to be obtained by going to Baekdokgok? But why are you suddenly obtaining Samhwangcho here?”
Hyunmun shook his head slightly as if he had no idea what was going on.
Hanbin smiled at that sight.
Now is the time to tell you the plan.
If I had told you before entering the Churyong Mountain Range, the impatient Hyeonmun might have wandered around the Churyong Mountain Range.
In fact, the fact that Hanbin is only now revealing his plans was largely due to Hyunmun’s influence.
Since all the work in the Churyong Mountains had to be finished by today, their help was needed from now on.
If not today, there would be no reason to come to Churyong Mountain Range.
At that time, Peng Hyuk-bin intervened.
“There’s a Samhwangcho here. Let’s leave quickly.”
“How much do you know about Samhwangcho, hyung?”
Hanbin narrowed his eyes and looked at Peng Hyukbin.
“Isn’t this the herb that is said to contain the energy of the three emperors?”
“What is the energy of the Three Emperors that you know of, hyung?”
“I know them as fire, ice, and thunder respectively.”
“That’s the problem, brother.”
“What does that mean?”
“How can a single blade of grass contain the energy of fire, ice, and lightning?”
“That’s why people call it a legend. Even when you said you were saving the Three Emperors’ Herb, I had a hard time believing it was real.”
“That’s right. How can one grass contain all three energies?”
Hyun-Moon, startled by Han-Bin’s words, intervened.
“Now, wait a minute… … . What did you just say? Have you been teasing me all this time? Peng Gongzi!”
“Elder, don’t be so surprised.”
“How can I not be surprised? This is a matter of life and death for the Taegeuk Sword Master, no, our Sa-hyeong.”
“To conclude, Samhwangcho is not a single plant. That is why people only thought it was a legendary plant.”
“If it weren’t for one pool… … .”
“One of them is the Baeknyeonyeolhwacho, which only grows in the Churyong Mountains. It is a sacred plant that contains the energy of fire.”
“If it’s the Hundred-Year Flower Herb… … . It may have a nice name, but isn’t it a poisonous plant?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s also known as a poisonous plant. But it’s one of the three holy plants we need to find.”
“Then, should I find the poisonous plant? Then I will help you. But… … .”
Hyunmun’s eyes wavered slightly.
Hanbin asked at that sight.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I heard that the Hundred-Year-Old Flower Plant grows in the South, right? It grows especially in the southern part of the country, so isn’t it the same plant that people from the Sacheon-dang area go to the southern part of the country to collect? But how did it get here… … .”
“The Centennial Flower is a plant that can grow anywhere as long as the conditions are right. In the north, it can only be found in the Churyong Mountains.”
“Then, the reason you came here is… … .”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s to save the Baeknyeonryeolhwacho.”
“Wow, I didn’t know it had such a deep meaning. I wondered why I went through all the hardships of crossing the Churyong Mountains, but it was all for our shaman… … .”
“It’s okay, sir.”
“Didn’t you say there were three sacred herbs that we had to find now? I’ll find the Baeknyeonyeolhwacho here and take it to the shaman, so don’t worry and leave first.”
“They say that the 100-year-old flower plant that grows here has a different shape from the 100-year-old flower plant that grows in the southern part of the country. Do you know what the 100-year-old flower plant that grows in the Churyong Mountain Range looks like?”
“That is… … . Is there such a disaster!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll find it tonight anyway.”
“Tonight?”
“Actually, I don’t even know what a hundred-year-old flower looks like.”
“How can you find that poisonous plant if you don’t even know it?”
“I only know that the Southern Baeknyeonyeolhwacho and the Baeknyeonyeolhwacho here react to the full moon in the same way. If I can’t find it today, I’ll have to wait another month.”
“ah.”
Hyunmun opened his eyes wide.
It was just as Hanbin said.
Baeknyeonyeolhwacho was a medicinal herb that contained yang energy.
It was a herb that was said to be poisonous because its yang energy was excessive and would dissolve all of the internal organs if taken as is.
Is that why?
It is said that the Hundred Year Flower Plant reacts to moonlight, which represents yin.
That too on a full moon.
Hyunmun’s eyes deepened as he recalled his faint memories.
“If what you say is true, then doesn’t that mean that it’s hard to find that grass after the full moon has set?”
“Yes, that’s right. I need to find the Hundred Year Flower tonight. But there’s a problem.”
“I will help you, Prince Peng.”
“There are people out there who can help.”
“What do you mean, Prince Peng?”
“therefore…….”
Peng Hyuk-bin and Hyeon-mun’s eyes widened at Han-bin’s explanation.
The explanation was simple.
In order to find the Hundred Year Flower Grass, you must find a spirit.
It was said that a certain spirit was carrying the seeds of the century-old flower plant just as birds carry the seeds of ginseng.
Hanbin’s plan was to stimulate the spirit to make it easier to find the Hundred Year Flower Grass.
After hearing the plan, I asked the gatekeeper with an apologetic expression.
“Is it okay to put that burden on them?”
“It’s okay. I’ll give them a reward commensurate with their mission. The training you help them with will also be included in that reward.”
Hanbin reassured Hyunmun.
Hyunmun said.
“I’ll pay a little more attention.”
Peng Hyuk-bin shook his head at the serious gaze of the gatekeeper.
In fact, Peng Heuk-bin wanted to stop the conversation between the footnotes and the main gate.
Peng Heuk-bin regarded the footnotes as his family and as assets of the Habuk Peng family.
The current training seemed to be aimed at destroying Hebei Pengjia’s assets rather than strengthening them.
That was how much Peng Hyuk-bin’s heart was pounding.
But looking at the look in Hyunmun’s eyes, it seemed like he was going to increase the intensity even more.
There was absolutely no room for escalation here.
* * *
After a while,
When Hanbin returned, Damcheonho, who had regained some of his energy, welcomed him warmly.
Because of his high martial arts skills, he recovered faster than other footnotes.
“Did things go well for you?”
“Yes, that’s good. Please gather the remaining two footnotes.”
“There is a need to collect… … .”
Damcheonho glanced to the side, trailing off.
There, Gagi-gun and Akpil-seung, who had finished their sparring first, were lying down.
Unlike Damcheonho, who has already recovered, the two who are lagging behind in martial arts are still lying down.
Damcheonho quickly woke them up.
As they got up, Hanbin quietly left the campsite with them.
The group following Hanbin looked around with eyes full of suspicion.
Suddenly, I couldn’t understand why he was calling out to the footnotes in the middle of the night.
That’s because I thought there was nothing to do on the rugged slopes of the Churyong Mountains, no matter how bright the moon was.
In the place where Hanbin led, strangely enough, not even the sound of insects could be heard.
The silence was so oppressive that he couldn’t even breathe.
As they got a little further away from the campsite, Hanbin stopped walking.
Hanbin’s eyes turned around and were more serious than ever.
The Gagi Army set aside their doubts and lined up their positions.
The same goes for other footnotes.
Although the wound was quite serious, they stood proudly in front of Hanbin as if they were unmanned.
Hanbin said in a low voice after seeing the three aligned footnotes.
“From now on, I will teach you the eighteen steps of begging.”
“… … .”
The three footnotes opened their eyes wide.
I didn’t understand why he suddenly said he would teach me the Eighteen Steps of Begging.
The most surprising of them all was Damcheonho, who had a strong desire for martial arts.
He looked at Hanbin with an expression that made it seem like his eyes were going to pop out.
Hanbin asked at that sight.
“Do you dislike it?”
“Oh, no. But it was so sudden that I was surprised. If you look at the 18th Begging, isn’t it the martial art of rising openness? Is it okay for you to tell us about it?”
“I had an in-depth discussion with Master Hong Chil-gae about this matter. As a result, Master willingly, or rather, not willingly. In return, I received my blood-like… … .”
“Piraniyo? What do you mean?”
“Just know that for now.”
Hanbin looked at the three footnotes with a serious expression.
About half of what he said was true.
After this is over, I’ve decided to throw a feast for the beggars in the Hebei region using my hard-earned money.
The important thing was that the Nine Begging Eighteen Steps were not a martial art that could be learned just because one had the skills.
For that reason, Hong Chil-gae allowed Han Bin to teach the Eighteen Steps of Begging to others.
Of course, the fact that Sulwha had learned the Eighteen Steps of Begging was due to her innate intelligence.
What the footnotes needed now was a certain level of reason and urgency.
At that moment, Gagigun raised his hand.
“Can we really learn it, Your Majesty?”
“You can cook it.”
“If it’s open, it means it’s part of the old file room, but after we get used to it, maybe… … .”
Gagi-gun mumbled the following.
Hanbin knew his worries.
It was the law of martial arts that anyone who stole another’s martial arts skills would be severely punished.
The harsh punishment was to make it impossible to use the stolen martial arts.
How can I make it so that only the stolen martial arts skills cannot be used?
This was an impossible task.
In other words, the true meaning of the punishment is to completely destroy the dantian and prevent the use of all martial arts.
I learned the Eighteen Steps of Begging, but what if they suddenly start asking me questions in the open?
In front of the power of the old guard, a single person was like a grain of sand on a white beach.
If the opponent won, he had to give up his own danjeon.
This wasn’t just Kagi’s concern.
Hanbin smiled at their expressions.
