Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 17

A warrior’s values (1)

Jang Han, in his thirties, looked sad.

“You must have been in a lot of pain. “It is a store with a long history that has been passed down well from our ancestors.”

Chu Sheng Luzhu let out a frustrated sigh.

“It’s just that I don’t respect my ancestors. I thought I had taken good care of it, but something like this happened…”

“Why is it Rouju’s fault? In life, unexpected disasters can happen, right? “I’m glad you’re okay and uninjured.”

“haha.”

You have no idea how much strength it gives just by coming and comforting me like this. Moreover, this Jang Han, whom I had never seen before, was mobilizing numerous workers to help restore the damaged area.

Although he was younger than me, he was not usually a great person.

“Now, take this.”

“What is this?”

“It’s not a large amount, but it will help a little with the construction costs.”

“Oh my! Don’t do this! “I also have public funds that I have saved up…!”

“Hey, is this someone you know? It is said that human kindness comes from the treasure. “It will cost a lot of money to repair everything here, so shouldn’t we get quality food ingredients like we used to?”

“Huh….”

“Chosheng Tower is one of the main towers that represents Anhui. People won’t want their tastes to change. Please continue to remain a famous spot in Anhui.”

A feeling of emotion appeared on the face of the castle tower keeper.

Although they said they had money saved, in reality, if they used that money to restore the castle tower, there was nothing left.

Moreover, if there is a rumor that an arson incident has occurred, the number of customers visiting Choseongru will decrease for a while. If you are not careful, your business may fail.

I was at a loss as to how I could get through that difficult time, but they gave me this kind of help.

“Since you say so, I won’t refuse.”

“Of course you should. But don’t even think about wiping your mouth. “If I come back later, you have to give me a free meal?”

“How can you treat your benefactor so poorly? Come visit us anytime. “We will serve you dishes made with the best ingredients of the day.”

“Haha, I’m not that shameless again.”

Jang Han asked quietly.

“By the way, isn’t there someone else who is Rouju’s real benefactor?”

“yes?”

“The heroes who saved the castle tower.”

“Ah… That’s right.”

Jang Han’s eyes sparkled.

‘fear?’

On the stuttering face of the castle guard, he felt more fear than gratitude.

“why? “Did they do anything to Luju?”

“How could that be! If it weren’t for them, even the outbuildings of the castle tower would have been burned down. “In all my life of over 40 years, I have never seen such liars.”

“Ohh? “That’s a great evaluation, isn’t it?”

Jang Han joked.

“I heard they put out the fire. “Before that, we evacuated people to the safest route.”

“Yes.”

“I heard you look younger too?”

“ah! There were warriors who looked like adults from the Later Gae era. “Even though I didn’t learn martial arts, they seemed like they were very talented people.”

“He is a man of great ability…”

The eyes of Bu Bun-sang, the successor to Jang Han Gae-jung, twinkled like a morning star.

‘It’s definitely Changeungdae (蒼鷹隊), right?’

Changeungdae was one of the military organizations of Byeoksan Yeonga, a branch of the Seven Great Families of Murim. Chang-eung University’s skills are so well-known that it is not surprising that they are evaluated this way.

‘But…’

Full-sang looked at the southwest door.

‘The fire was big, but the damage was less than expected. If the fire had been of this scope, the central building should have been burned as well, but the damage was limited to the exterior walls and a few warehouses. Are you saying the Chang Eung Team caught this?’

It was amazing.

Even if you are a martial artist, you panic when a fire breaks out. They are stronger and faster than the civilians, but in the end they are the same people in the face of disaster.

However, after collecting testimonies about the burn marks and extent of damage, it seemed that an escape route was secured in an instant, minimizing human casualties and quickly extinguishing the fire.

This wasn’t something anyone could do. It would be difficult for Jeong Yong, who is undergoing firefighting training, to put out the fire so quickly.

Plus, the Noehwa Ark stables.

‘Mabang was a talented person who was considered one of the Thirteen Geolgi of the Black Path in the past. However, he suddenly disappeared ten years ago and resumed his activities last year. The exact inaction is unknown, but it was said that it would be difficult for the latter index to at least handle it.’

Although the Heukdo has lost its former prowess, the Thirteen Steps of the Heukdo represents the best late exponent of Sapa. It is said that he has become stronger over the past ten years, so he will not be a match for his mediocre martial arts skills.

If you listen to the testimony of an actual eyewitness, it is said that the later indices of the Zhuge family were consistently pushed back. I heard that Zhuge Yan fought hard but was unable to gain the upper hand.

There was someone who defeated such a master in a one-on-one match.

“Have you had a conversation with the Grand Duke of the Yan clan?”

The castle tower was shocked.

Full Sang tilted his head.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Oh… no.”

That’s what he said, but he didn’t seem to want to talk more about it.

Full-sang smiled and lowered his head.

“I think I made Rouge’s evaluation complicated by saying unnecessary things. sorry.”

“omg! no! “How dare you say such a thing!”

“It will take quite some time to restore the bases. If you have any difficulties, please tell our staff at any time. then.”

Gaeun-sang roughly finished his greetings and left the castle tower. He felt that Chu Shengruju was looking at him with complicated eyes, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Yeonhojeong, the grand duke of Byeoksan Yeonga…?”

Full-sang stroked his chin.

“Are you saying he wasn’t a dog who was defeated by his younger brother’s talent?”

It was interesting.

As the heir to openness, the pinnacle of the martial arts information world and one of the pillars of Baekdo martial arts, he was having fun like never before.

“Hmm, it’s a review meeting? Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re not one of the seven major powers, right? “I’m a beggar anyway, so I can go anywhere for alms, right?”

* * *

Phew!

The movement of the iron bar has become much smoother and more stable.

Yeon Ho-jeong, holding the pole with both hands, thrust forward vigorously.

Pow!

A fairly large tree shook.

The iron bar dug seven inches into the tree. What was surprising was the surface of the tree pierced by the iron bar.

It’s normal for the epidermis around the hole to crack and break, but it was fine. The power of the iron bar was concentrated at the tip, giving it an awl-like penetrating power.

‘It’s become tighter.’

Yeon Ho-jeong had a look of regret on his face as he removed the iron bar from the tree.

‘It’s gotten closer, but it’s still far away. I guess I’ll have to make some effort.’

Yeon Ho-jeong collapsed on the spot. My hands were still covered in blood and my whole body was soaked with sweat.

He, sitting cross-legged, finished the exercise with Byeoknajingyeol and then raised the Hyeonmugi.

Tsutsutsu.

A faint moisture rose from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.

Surprisingly, the moisture was not stuffy at all. Rather, it was refreshing and sacred. Sasinmu was an invincible combat martial art, but the energy that made it up was all upright.

‘But it came alive vividly. Even though it hasn’t been that long, it feels like it’s been a long time.’

Hyeonmu (玄武).

Hyeonmu of the four gods is the water god of Gyehae and symbolizes winter.

Among the five internal organs, it is also responsible for the kidneys. The kidneys are the final organ through which waste products are removed from the body, and when the martial energy is strong, there is no turbidity in the body.

In particular, Hyeonmu’s martial arts skills are even described as ironclad. Since it is the most solid among the Four Gods’ martial arts, starting with Hyeonmu increases the overall delicacy of the martial arts.

This was also the reason why the iron bar could easily penetrate the tree. There was a lot of room for improvement, but even this level was enough to erase many of the shortcomings in attack and defense.

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.

He muttered softly.

“I feel like I woke up too early, but I don’t have much time anyway. “I need to get my old martial arts skills back as quickly as possible.”

There is no time to whine because there is so much to do. With this momentum, the remaining three gods should also be awakened quickly.

After finishing training, Yeon Ho-jeong headed to the forest where the group was resting.

“Are you here, Grand Duke?”

“hmm.”

Shinmo bowed her head respectfully.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.

“What about Jipyeong?”

“I want to be alone for a while…”

“Is that so?”

Well, that could be it.

Isn’t this an age where your emotions will be fluctuating for a while? It’s not strange at all.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded and suddenly looked at the response team members.

The members who made eye contact with Yeon Ho-jeong all lowered their heads. It seemed like he was greeting politely, but it also seemed like he was having a hard time with Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

‘Why are they like that?’

Have I done something wrong?

Before, people who would just nod their heads when they encountered each other were very strange today.

“Hey, Archduke.”

“huh?”

“Are you okay? There’s blood on my hand…”

“Oh, it’s okay. After some training, the wound must have burst. “It will get better soon.”

“Oh yeah.”

It was then.

“Hey…”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked to the side.

Standing there was Zhuge Zhenyeon with a haggard face.

“This is my first time greeting you officially. “I am called Zhuge Yan of the Zhuge family.”

“This is Yeonhojeong.”

Shinmo’s face hardened.

Unlike Zhuge Yan, Yeon Ho-jeong’s tone of voice was very arrogant. The tone was as if he was addressing a much younger junior.

However, Zhuge Yan did not pay much attention to Yeon Ho-jeong’s tone of voice.

“But where is this place?”

She had lost consciousness due to internal injuries and had just woken up. Zhuge Jun was still unconscious.

Shinmo said.

“It’s a forest quite far from Hamsan Mountain. I tried to find a doctor right away, but it wasn’t easy. Fortunately, the details of the two people were not that serious, so I thought it would be better to move to Hebi.”

At first glance, it was a statement that was not easy to understand.

If a person was injured, it was normal to go to a doctor first, regardless of whether he or she was skilled or not. But are you going to go to Hapbi?

‘Wait a minute, the details aren’t bad?’

Zhuge Yan closed his eyes and examined his insides.

Immediately her eyes widened.

“uh…?”

What Shinmo said was true.

She suffered significant internal injuries due to excessive use of the Hyeonwonjeondanshingung and an enemy attack. But now most of the internal injuries have been corrected.

‘When did it get better like this?’

Zhuge Yan looked at Zhuge Jun.

“What about your younger brother? “What’s your younger brother’s condition…?!”

“Don’t worry. The poison has been removed. “I didn’t know that Zhuge Dynasty’s Negongsim technique was so outstanding.”

“ah!”

Zhuge Yan personally checked Zhuge Jun’s condition.

‘Really.’

The pulse was constant. Although there were internal injuries caused by the miasma, these were treatable as long as one came to one’s senses.

Shinmo said as if she was embarrassed.

“I’m sorry. Actually, it would have been better to find a doctor first, no matter what condition the two were in, but for some reason, after experiencing such a situation, I became anxious. “I decided that it would be beneficial for everyone’s safety to go to Hapbi as soon as possible.”

“Oh no! “How can you say such things when all of you are lifesavers?”

“Hehe, it’s just embarrassing.”

At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.

“Did you say Jegal Ah-yeon?”

“yes? Ah yes!”

“I have something to tell you, so follow me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong just said those words and walked away to a dark place.

Zhuge Yan looked at Shin Mo in confusion.

Shinmo said in a shaky voice.

“It won’t be a big deal.”

“….”

“…maybe.”
