Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1410

Episode 1410. Did he have an accident?
Surprisingly, the accommodation that Jo Hyeon-deok was assigned was a sarangbang attached to the main house.
Compared to other disciples who use communal accommodation next to the training hall, the difference is literally like heaven and earth.
The departure and admission of Yeongamukwan is held in March.
A whopping four months later, a young man who entered the dormitory alone drew the attention of his students when he used the sarangchae (as if he were an empty guest) rather than a shared lodging.
The Yeongamukwan explained, ‘There were no vacancies in the communal lodgings, so we gave up the Sarangchae,’ but no one believed that at all.
Anyway, that’s how Jo Hyeon-deok took his place at Yeongamukwan.
Once you enter Yeongamukwan, you will train for as long as ten years or as short as three or four years.
Jo Hyeon-deok also decided to somehow complete the training period like everyone else.
This is because you can be treated as an alumni even after leaving the university.
On the one hand, I unexpectedly changed the course of my life, but I also had the desire to succeed as a martial artist.
However, his life as a military officer was not smooth.
Although he received a warm welcome from Waryong swordsman Yeon Moo-baek, the head of Yeongamukwan, Jo Hyeon-deok’s physical strength was a problem.
He was sickly from a young age and spent his entire life reading books.
Naturally, Jo Hyeon-deok could not follow in the footsteps of his classmates, who had been learning internal and external techniques since the age of five or six.
Within a few days, Jo Hyeon-deok’s true identity was revealed.
Yeongamukwan’s instructors, as well as his alumni, recognized that he was a weakling and just an old student.
From then on, practitioners called him ‘Uncle’.
Internally, a line was drawn that they were not alumni.
Jo Hyeon-deok silently accepted the title ‘Mister’ rather than ‘priest’ or ‘eldest brother’.
It wasn’t wrong.
This is because the average age of Yeongamukwan’s disciples is only in their early to mid-teens.
Jo Hyeon-deok was unable to raise his sword until the summer was over.
The instructors did not allow Jo Hyeon-deok to practice swords because of his weak arm and grip strength.
This was prevented because practicing swordsmanship could cause harm to other practitioners.
When you turn 14, you are allowed to use a real sword, so you are evaluated as being inferior to a 14-year-old.
The younger you are, the less learning you have, so you are more faithful to your instincts.
At some point, boys and girls with a sense of superiority began to bully him.
“What are you doing, uncle, living alone in the living room?”
“Did you at least pull out the roots of the pillars of Joyang Sangbang and offer them up?”
“Your body is like that because you neglect training. “You’re a disgrace to everyone!”
“If you know you’re lacking, you have to work hard. What’s the point of getting older? “Aren’t you sorry to see children making excuses for being weak?”
“Don’t think about completing three years and get out before winter.”
“Does it make sense for an adult to practice for three months and be worse than a fourteen-year-old? Are you here to make connections? Then, please buy me something.”
The leaves in the garden, which had turned red throughout the fall, dried up and fell one by one.
Until then, Jo Hyeon-deok was not allowed to carry out a real sword.
The only people using wooden swords in the training hall were children and Jo Hyeon-deok.
As the sun began to set, the boys and girls who had filled the gymnasium disappeared one by one.
Even though we made eye contact back and forth, no one seemed to know Jo Hyeon-deok.
It was now frosty at dawn, and the wind was cold when the sun went down.
White breath blew out from the mouth of Jo Hyeon-deok, who was wielding a wooden sword.
By chance, an instructor who was passing by the training center came up and called him.
“Cho Hyeon-deok.”
Jo Hyeon-deok lowered his wooden sword and looked back.
“yes? ha! ha! ha-!”
The instructor looked at him panting with pity and said something.
“If you push yourself too hard, you will actually hurt your body. “It’s cold, so go inside and rest.”
Jo Hyeon-deok, who had finally calmed his breathing, suddenly asked.
“Master.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“When will I be able to hold a real sword?”
“How many times can you strike quickly with a wooden sword without stopping?”
“About a hundred times.”
“Tell me when you’ve done it a thousand times. At that time, I will let you use the Jingeom.”
“… … .”
When Jo Hyeon-deok looked devastated, the instructor lightly tapped him on the shoulder and walked away.
Jo Hyeon-deok, who was pondering the instructor’s words, sighed heavily.
A thousand times?
If you swing it a hundred times, your limbs will tremble. In what period of time?
If things continue like this, it’s clear that I’ll end up swinging only wooden swords next year.
My face was already getting hot as I thought about the new officials who would arrive in March.
He began to trudge along holding a wooden sword.
All kinds of thoughts rushed into my head.
Why am I like this?
Why did the Namcheon Grand Hyeop send me here?
Half a year has passed, but is it okay for me, who can’t even lift a real sword, to live as a warrior?
As he was passing in front of Gasan, someone stopped him as he was walking aimlessly.
“omg! Ambassador!”
Jo Hyeon-deok, startled, hurriedly lowered his head.
The person standing in front of me was Yeongyun Yeon, who was called the Great Master in Yeongamukwan.
“What were you thinking that you couldn’t hear me even when I called you? “Is she missing the girl she left behind in her hometown?”
“Oh, no.”
Jo Hyeon-deok blushed and waved his hand.
Yeon Yeon-yoon was twenty-nine years old, but looked like he was in his early twenties, while Jo Hyeon-deok looked older than his age, so the formal address seemed quite awkward.
“Are you worried?”
Yeon Yeon-yoon knew that Jo Hyeon-deok was not able to adapt to being a military officer and was moving around.
Moreover, they are ignored by much younger children.
But even though I knew, I pretended not to know.
One way or another, Yeongamukwan is a place that produces military personnel.
Jo Hyeon-deok, who hesitated, slowly opened his mouth.
“I have doubts about myself after holding a wooden sword for half a year. I have no talent in writing, but even martial arts is like that… … . The sight before my eyes is blurry. “I don’t know why Namcheon Daehyup sent me as a military officer.”
To be honest, when Namcheon Daehyup even wrote me a letter of recommendation, I thought I had military talent.
So I believed that although I was late, I would be able to adapt well.
But when it came to it, it was different from what I imagined.
Even though half a year had already passed, he was worse than the fourteen-year-old in Yeonga Mogwan.
He lived an ordinary life, nothing special in either civil or military circles.
“If you’re curious about Namcheon Daehyup’s thoughts, I can teach you.”
“really? If so, please let me know. “I’m so curious that it’s driving me crazy.”
Yeon So-yoon, who was looking at Jo Hyeon-deok quietly, nodded.
“It’s not enough to go crazy. This is a story I also heard from my father, and he said you resemble Namcheon Daehyeop when you were young. “He said that’s why he sent you here.”
“Me? “I’m not good at martial arts?”
Jo Hyeon-deok was both happy and embarrassed by the ambassador’s words.
I couldn’t even guess what on earth resembled Namcheon Daehyup.
Yeon Yeon-yoon said with a grin.
“Don’t be mistaken. Because it’s not like that. They say that when I was young, Namcheon Daegyeop was so ordinary that I didn’t notice it. Because I was weak, I suffered a lot of persecution. “Still, you haven’t lost your innocence.”
“So, are you saying that because I was ordinary and weak, Namcheon Daehyup felt a connection with the same disease?”
“Why are you leaving out the other one? Nevertheless, it is important not to lose your innocence. No matter how much he resembled his childhood, if he wasn’t pure, he wouldn’t have sent the priest here. Because Namcheon Daehyup is that kind of person.”
Yeon Yeon-yoon looked at the burning red sunset with faint eyes.
Her lover was not just her ‘uncle-father’, but her benefactor who gave her a new life.
Jo Hyeon-deok could not take his eyes off the ambassador.
The Great Residence looked more beautiful than the young lady Seok Gyeong-jang whom I saw from afar this spring.
***
Namjikryeseong.
Hapbi.
Yeoganghyeon Seokgyeongjang.
Just as winter was approaching, bad news came to Seokgyeongjang.
Pung Yeon-cho, who retired from working at Geumseon Sangbang in Gaebong, died from old age.
Yeonjeokha flew to Unjongsul to comfort Pung Yeoncho’s grieving family, and before leaving, offered his son Pung Unbi the position of general manager of Seokgyeongjang.
Pung Woon-bi, who followed in his father’s footsteps and worked at Geumseon Sangbang, accepted the offer without hesitation.
This is to teach Seok Gyeong-jang’s martial arts to his precious children.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who returned to Seokgyeongjang first after saying goodbye to Pung Woon-bi, could not sleep easily that night.
As he was tossing and turning, Namgung-yeon’s voice reached his ears.
“why? “Are you worried about anything?”
“ha. “I feel strange.”
“Because of the Feng Bridge?”
“Yes, I was glad that I saved the brothers of Obongsanchae in the summer… … . I can’t believe my eldest brother is leaving like this… … .”
He remembered what Namgung Yeon said in the past in the fourth heaven and saved Obongsanchae from the hands of the punitive army.
However, I was shocked when Pungyeoncho’s death suddenly came.
“As long as we are human, birth, old age, illness, and death are inevitable. We are already in our forties. “You will hear more comments from your acquaintances in the future.”
“I guess so?”
Yeon Jeok-ha muttered in a gloomy voice.
At that time, Namgung-yeon spoke in passing.
“By the way, I received a New Year’s gift from Yeonga Moogwan today, do you know?”
“Yes, we come here every year around this time.”
“Is there anyone you sent to Yeongamukwan?”
“yes? why?”
Yeon Jeok-ha, now annoyed, asked back.
I forgot about it after I was banned from joining Joyang Sangbang, and I wonder what happened.
“I heard an interesting story.”
“At Yeonga Moogwan?”
“Did you not know that the third Confucius of Chaoyang Sangbang came in as a disciple this summer?”
“Hum, hum. why? Do I need to know?”
“You said you were the one who sent it? “Are you sure you don’t know this?”
“ah! Jo Hyeon-deok? that’s right. “I made a recommendation.”
“Why did the wind blow when you had no interest in the world?”
“The way a young person thinks is very old. So I told him to go to Yeongamukwan to come to his senses.”
“Ohh. “You wasted your time writing a letter of recommendation on the spot?”
“… … .”
Yeonjeokha closed his mouth tightly.
Now it looks like the background investigation has been completed.
In other words, where can the curiosity of the 10 best warriors have gone as they got older?
Living in the same house and hiding it for half a year is amazing.
Namgung-yeon said as Yeon Jeok-ha was staring at the ceiling and blinking.
“I guess it’s because of Jo Hyun-deok, right? Why did you suddenly send him to Yeonga-gwan? “What did I say in the fourth heaven that sent him to that far away place?”
When the question reached that point, I couldn’t hide it any longer.
“They say he follows Jian around and even marries her.”
“Cho Hyeon-deok and Ji-an?”
“Yes, but his body is very weak… … “They said he made Ji-an a widow two years after getting married.”
Namgung-yeon was surprised and didn’t say anything for a while.
“This spring, I happened to hear Jian and Yeonji talking. Jo Hyun-deok seemed to be acting strangely around the two of them. ‘Oops!’ So I hurriedly went to see a guy named Jo Hyeon-deok. If he was a useful guy, I thought I might polish him up and keep him around… … .”
“But because the person did not meet expectations, they were sent to Luoyang, 1,400 li away?”
“yes. “If you had talked to that guy, your suit would have exploded and you would have died.”
“But looking at the fact that he even wrote a letter of recommendation, it seems like he wasn’t a very useless person?”
“As a student, my thoughts were worn out, but I was just an okay person.”
“I see.”
“But why Jo Hyeon-deok? Did something happen at Yeongamugwan? “Then you can’t do that.”
“It wasn’t an accident. No, it was an accident?”
As Namgung-yeon muttered to herself, Yeon Jeok-ha, who was lying down, suddenly raised her upper body.
“Did he cause an accident?”
“It is said that his brother-in-law (Yeon Moo-baek) taught him the Nine Thousand and One True Sutra. “He said he could recite 100 characters in one go and would like you to come and teach him a few more.”
Yeon’s siblings could only memorize one hundred characters, as if they had made a promise.
So, I had to go and teach Yeonjeokha himself to find out if I could memorize more.
“No, why did you teach that guy the Nine Thousand and One Day Sutra? “I told you to teach that only to his family?”
“I guess you’re thinking of accepting me as your son-in-law. “Soyun isn’t married yet.”
“Yeah? Daryl’s son-in-law?”
Yeon Jeok-he looked at Nangong-yeon with bewildered eyes.
At first, he cut off ties with Seok Kyeong-jang, but this time, the relationship official accepted him as his son-in-law. It seems that he was destined to become entangled with Yeon somehow.
