Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[What Geomwang left behind]

Two people, not one person A person and a monkey stood facing each other at an appropriate distance.

“Are you both ready?”

Geomseong, standing between the two, looked as excited as a child receiving a birthday present.

Ukki! Ukkikkiki!

“I don’t know what this is…”

The great man sighed. He looked at Geum-o, the golden-furred monkey whom the Geomwang taught martial arts.

Geum-o was holding a sword in one hand.

He was not holding it roughly like he was holding a wooden stick, but he was holding it properly.

In other words, it meant that he knew how to use swordsmanship.

‘Even if I really try not to swear… Geomhwang, you crazy old man. Did you even teach the monkey how to use the sword?’

Likewise, when Cheongwoon saw Geum-o holding the sword, his eyes sparkled and he said.

“I think this will be a fun match.”

The young man who had tried to stop the fight earlier had gone away, and only an onlooker with an interesting face remained. Indeed, he was worthy of his teacher and his disciple.

Geomsung smiled slyly and accepted his disciple’s words.

“This is the first martial arts of a brother-in-law who learned the martial arts of the Sword Emperor. “It’s a historic moment.”

“…It’s not the death penalty.”

“It seems to me that the death penalty is preparing to punish the priest.”

“I said no.”

Fortunately, there was no one around other than three people.

The members of the Sword Demon Order were prohibited from viewing.

The members of the Demon Demon Squad were eager to witness this historic battle, but no one dared to fool the Sword Saint and steal a glance.

right! Woooo!

Geumo looked back at Geomseong and cried.

Geomseong, who had been with Geumo for several years, understood the meaning of ‘Stop talking and get started.’

“Then I wish you both good luck. “Don’t fight so hard that it hurts the righteousness of the death penalty.”

right! Ukki-kkikki!

“What is righteousness…”

As Geomseong stepped back, Daein and Geumo took their stances in earnest.

‘Yes, it’s a monkey. No matter how much you learn sword techniques, it’s just a simple swing….’

Ukkii!

Geum-o rushed forward like a thunderbolt and stabbed Dae-in with his sword, aiming for his thigh.

Cough!

As he parried the attack, Daein abandoned his light thoughts in just one second.

It was not easy to block a sword coming from an abnormally low position. Daein had difficulty blocking Geumo’s sword and then counterattacked.

Whick!

Geumo showed amazing reflexes. He turned his body, threw the great man’s sword to the side, dug in, and slashed with his sword from bottom to top.

“!!”

In front of the great man, the tip of the sword passed the tip of his nose. I almost got cut.

Ukkkkkkk!

When Daein’s posture slightly collapsed, Geumo launched an offensive.

Dae-in stepped backwards by stepping on the Cheonma Shinbo, but Geum-oh caught up with Dae-in, stepping on the same steps.

Go go go go!

Sword and sword clashed and a sharp sound rang out.

Geomseong and Cheongun watched the match with interest and chatted.

“As expected, you are skilled in the death penalty.”

“The priest seems to have been taken aback by the unexpected skill of the executioner. “That’s what happens when you look down on someone just because they’re strong in martial arts.”

“Disciple. “Have you always saved anything from that guy?”

“…That can’t be right.”

A prickly Cheongwoon suddenly lost his cool.

Meanwhile, Daein was pushed back by Geumo and retreated by about a dozen lengths.

Daein was more dumbfounded than angry.

‘This isn’t really a joke.’

Ironically, at this moment, Daein realized how excellent Geomwang’s martial arts were.

The body shape is different and the length of the hands and feet are also different.

However, Daein and Geumo learned the same martial arts, and Geumo’s proficiency in Chosik was actually higher.

The great man completely lost his guard because his opponent was a monkey.

“It may not be recognized as a death penalty, but it will be recognized as an alumni.”

Fuwaaaaaaa!

Daein’s mood has clearly changed. When the attack power, which was only raised to 3 stars, was raised to 7 stars, the movement changed.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to waste too much time. “I have to finish it quickly and go.”

The great man swung his sword with the intention of winning at once. I didn’t use strength because I didn’t intend to kill him.

Daein was still looking down on Geumo.

Smirk.

‘Smile?’

Geum-o was smiling, showing his teeth. At the same time, Geumo’s golden fur began to stand up.

Kyaaa!

Over Geumo’s sword, which roared like a wild beast, the wave of strength that Daein was familiar with flowed.

For a moment, Daein shouted, forgetting that Geomseong was listening.

“crazy! “What kind of monkey uses such strength!”

The cry soon turned into a single scream. Geum-oh, who was strong, rushed forward like a moon. Daeindo swung the Changcheonshingeom with strong energy surrounding it.

Go go go go!

A conflict on a different level than before. The surrounding large trees were cut down by the fragments of the river, rocks were broken, and the terrain was changed.

Cheongun took a few steps back to avoid getting caught and asked his teacher.

“…Master. “Shouldn’t we stop it?”

Geomseong smiled and watched as Geomwang’s martial arts clashed with each other.

“You mean already? “If it gets dangerous, I won’t stop you.”

The fragments resulting from the fight between the two were thrown at the Sword Saint, but they all bounced off in the middle as if there was a transparent shield in the air.

Chachaechaechaeng!

The great man could no longer relax. An attack imbued with the power of a sword was dangerous if it was hit incorrectly even once.

Meanwhile, Daein thought something was strange.

‘This guy. If I lived in the wild, I would almost never have to use martial arts. How can you be like an expert with extensive combat experience…’

At that time, the voice of the Sword Saint was heard from the other side. I felt very proud.

“Guy Geumo. It’s rewarding to rub with me every time you’re bored. “Your skills have improved a lot since I first met you.”

‘That old man!’

“this. “Do you have time to glare at me?”

‘…He’s quick to notice.’

The great man calmly turned his head and focused on the person in front of him.

Ukkkkkkkk!

Geumo attacked without giving himself any time to rest. It was a feast of plant-based foods that Daein learned from books and learned on his own.

It was a strange experience to experience it through another person – but not a roughly similar one.

“Watch Geumo’s movements carefully.”

Even without the words of the swordsman that came from behind, the great man could not help but become more and more absorbed in the confrontation.

The more I looked at each of my opponent’s movements, the more I had to think about.

‘That herbal food can be used like this.’

‘The way you step on the steps is strangely different from mine. Is it because of the leg length difference? Or…’

‘That movement… was it something I misunderstood until now?’

There are limits to leaving a military tribute in writing.

No matter how easily Geomwang explained it, he could not 100% convey his intentions to Huin.

In that respect, dancing with Geumo, who was directly taught martial arts by Geomwang, was an experience more valuable than any other experience for Daein.

“……”

Daein was already immersed in the dance.

And little by little, Daein’s martial arts skills began to change little by little.

Some resembled Geumo’s martial arts, while

others had some parts changed, and

there were also martial arts that were combined, transformed, and completely new.

The Geomwang looked at the scene and smiled happily.

“You seem to have a pretty good student.”

“Master. “Is that…”

Cheongwoon, who had been watching Bimu with his mouth open in a daze, turned to his teacher and asked. Geomseong smiled and nodded.

“okay. “It looks like that kid gained enlightenment while fighting Geum-o.”

“…That guy is really lucky. “I came to enlightenment while dancing.”

Geomseong chuckled.

“Do you think it was pure luck? “I think it’s an arrangement my brother left behind for future generations.”

Cheongun said, ‘You are indeed the Emperor of Swords.’ After admiring this, he looked at his teacher again.

“Maybe that’s why Master…”

‘Did you force that friend and the monkey to fight?’

Cheongun did not ask until the end. Because I could already know the answer just by looking at my teacher’s face.

“…Time flies so fast.”

Geomseong looked up at the sky full of moon.

And below, I saw a young man swinging a sword in the moonlight.

My eyes were dazzling.

The appearance was exactly like that of Geomhwang in his youth.

So I was happy, but suddenly I felt sad.

“older brother. “If I were alive at a time like this, I would have had a drink.”

Unfortunately, there was no longer a brother-in-law to share a drink with.

*

“Did you learn a lot from your brother?”

To Geomseong’s playful question, the great man, whose clothes were now dirty, smiled and answered.

“yes. “I learned a lot.”

I really learned a lot. After re-learning the basics of martial arts from Manpak Nogee, Daein’s martial arts skills would grow significantly again.

‘It’s a good thing I came to Moorim.’

However, Geumo was sitting next to Daein with a sullen appearance. Even throwing away my sword.

Woo woo…

Geumo crouched down with his mouth sticking out. It was a tight match in the beginning, but later on it was because he was no match for Daein at all.

Geomseong said, stroking the head of Geumo, who was dispirited.

“You guy. If you fight, you might lose. “Why are you so upset?”

Woo…

Geumo clung to Geomseong like a baby. Cheongun asked curiously.

“Do you really understand?”

“We’ve been together for about three years, and we seem to have a general understanding.”

Geomseong took out a fig fruit from his pocket and put it in Geumo’s mouth. Figs were Geumo’s favorite fruit.

right! Ukkkkkkk!

Geum-o quickly felt better and disappeared into the bushes.

Geomseong looked at the figure for a moment, then looked back at the great man and said.

“Follow me. “I made a promise, so I have to keep it.”

‘The last herbivore!’

The three remaining members of the group walked along a small path in the forest.

After a much longer walk than expected, we arrived at a small cabin.

“This is where I stay.”

And there was a small burial mound next to the hut.

“That’s Brother Namgung’s grave.”

“Yes?!”

Cheongwoon was startled and his eyes turned into rabbit eyes. The great man also looked quite surprised.

Cheongun asked.

“Weren’t we able to find Geomwang’s remains? “In the cave where the Changcheon God Sword was found, there was only the sword and that monkey… Master?”

Geomsung smiled innocently.

“I lied. My brother’s remains were next to the Changcheon Shingeom. Even when he died, he was holding his sword tightly.”

“Why didn’t you tell me! “If the Murim Alliance finds out, there will be an uproar!”

“That’s why I didn’t tell you.”

Geomseong took out a bottle of alcohol from his pocket and sprinkled it on the Geomwang’s grave and continued speaking.

“If the Murim Maeng finds out, won’t they turn the tomb into a tourist attraction, saying he is a hero who saved the Murim people? “Without even asking me.”

“But it’s also okay for the Master to do whatever he wants…”

The swordsman punched the student in the back of the head! I hit it loudly. It was so fast that Cheongwoon couldn’t even think of dodging.

“evil!”

“You’re noisy, you idiot. Geomhwangmun is also ruined, so what kind of person is going to criticize me? “Are any of the people who were close to you still alive?”

Cheongun sighed and shook his head at his teacher’s insistence.

However, Daein was able to guess the real reason why Geomseong hid Geomwang’s remains.

It was because of the appearance of the remains that Geomseong would have discovered.

‘I wish people would see the remains missing each limb… The rumor that he won the match disappeared, and there was even a rumor that he lost to the Cheonma.’

Geomseong protected the Geomwang’s honor by hiding his remains.

“I’m here, so just bow.”

The two people bowed to the tomb of the Emperor.

Although it was shabby for a tomb of an absolute master who dominated the era, there was a comfortable atmosphere, perhaps thanks to the good management of the Geomseong.

The great man thought.

‘It would have been nice if Hyun and Jin had come together.’

Daein left them behind in the Murim Alliance for two reasons.

One was to keep an eye on Bi-young, who was still not completely trustworthy, and

the other was because he judged that it was still too early for the two to meet Manbaknogee again.

“you. “While you’re here, go have a drink.”

Geomseong took out the entire jar of alcohol from the cabin.

The three people sat down on a rug in front of the tomb and drank alcohol.

The one who mainly spoke was Sword Saint. He was excited like a child and talked about old memories he had with Geomwang.

“Now I look up to my brother as the Emperor of Geom, but when I was young, there wasn’t even a car repair class like that. “Once…”

When some time had passed, Daein spoke carefully.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t stay here for long.”

A conflict with the Demonic Cult was just around the corner. It meant that he couldn’t stay here and listen to Geomsung’s memories.

Cheongwoon also lowered his head with an apologetic expression.

“Master. “I will come again next time.”

“…Okay, you guys. “Wouldn’t it be okay if I just let you go?”

When the grumbling swordsman stretched out his hand toward the hut, a moment later something flew into the air from inside the hut.

The swordsman held out the old sword sheath to the great man.

“Take it here.”

It looked very old, but the scabbard was strong enough to still be used.

The great man looked down at the Changcheonshinsword hanging on his waist.

‘This is the original scabbard of the Changcheonshingeom.’

The scabbard currently in use was almost new. Of course, it would have been different 100 years ago.

Geomseong said.

“If you look carefully, you will see the details written on the sheath of the sword. “I’m sorry, but I read it too.”

The great man began to read the phrase written on the sword sheath on the spot.

The last meal of Pacheonsingeom.

The crystal of martial arts that the Emperor Geomwang created through his agony until the end of his life was there.

‘…This is really difficult.’

It was natural that it would be difficult.

When I read it once, it just sounded like nonsense. You will probably have to read and think about it hundreds or thousands more times.

Then Geomseong asked.

“Is the name of the martial arts that your brother created in his later years, Pacheonsingong, by any chance?”

The great man hesitated for a moment and then answered.

“you’re right.”

“…okay. That’s why they gave herbivory that name.”

Geomsung made a bitter expression and muttered to himself.

“It looks like we lost in the end. “I thought it might be because he didn’t come back, but…”

Geomseong was able to find out a lot from the great man’s answer.

Pacheon (破天). Break the sky.

That also meant that it could not destroy the sky.

If it had already been destroyed, there would have been no need to invent a new martial art.

“If you don’t know the fortune-telling technique of Pacheon Shingong, that skill is only half of it. But that didn’t mean I could let just anyone read it. “You can guess why, right?”

A martial arts skill unknown to the world.

If the fact were known to the martial arts community, there could have been a bloody storm.

To prevent this, the swordsman hid only the sheath of the Changcheonshingeom separately.

As a person, I was just grateful.

“I really appreciate it.”

Geomseong smiled happily and looked at the great man.

‘older brother. I thought I was doing something for nothing… but I ended up finding the right owner.’

Then, as if some kind of wind had blown, Geomseong jumped up from his seat.

“I won’t go with you, but I will give you a little lesson.”

Geomseong extended his hand to the side. A branch from a nearby tree “snapped” and flew out, catching him in his hand.

“I don’t know the art of Breaking Heaven, so it may not be perfect, but it will still be helpful if you look at it.”

A soft smile appeared on the lips of the Sword Saint. Her cheeks were flushed as if she was drunk, and her shoulders were shaking as if she was excited.

However, Daein and Cheongun could not move like rats caught in a trap.

“…!!”

It was because of the power felt in the body of the Sword Saint that literally seemed to shatter the sky.

Phew –

Geomseong said, exhaling lightly.

“Take a good look. “This is the last martial arts and Pacheonmu (破天舞) left behind by the Emperor of Geom.”

The wind began to blow from the tips of the tree branches.
