chapter 8
That was why Gong wanted to take Yeon Woo-hyeok to the warehouse.
It could be said that it was a fuss only because of the coldness of the warehouse, but it was a surprisingly serious matter. The coldness of the warehouse was harsher than I thought, so I had to wear thick clothes to enter.
Sometimes, when even the commander-in-chief went in, I had to be prepared to go in…
“Ah yes. know. If you can’t solve it, don’t worry. I won’t complain about this. I will do my best to find it with all my heart. It’s just that someone like you might be able to figure out something with just one look.”
“I’ll try my best, but I haven’t been able to figure out the warriors of the Jegal Sega…”
Yeon Woo-hyuk was honestly not confident.
Of course, he had the ability called Spiritual Eye, but it bothered him when he said that even the warriors of the Jegal Sega who installed this jinbeop couldn’t solve it.
If it was easy to find, wouldn’t the other person have found it first?
“Don’t be burdened.”
“Rather than that, can I approach the warehouse like this?”
“If you were a thief, you would have gone to Pyo Pyo and asked him to share the hermit.”
Gong strode forward and turned the key to open the warehouse door. It took time just to turn the key to see how many locks there were.
After removing all the bolts, the general opened the warehouse door. A chill raged in the dark warehouse.
“…!”
Yeon Woo-hyuk was frightened. It wasn’t just cold, it was like a cold wind in the middle of winter.
‘What kind of crazy bastard installed the jinbeop?’
No matter how much it was installed to block outsiders, I thought this was a bit off. It was a level where you had to be prepared to almost freeze to death every time you entered the warehouse.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
Yeon Woo-hyuk concentrated.
As Dam Poong-ho said, Yeon Woo-hyeok was practicing martial arts while trying to control the spiritual eyes.
So you can see what you want, when you want.
That was Yeon Woo-hyuk’s goal now.
“!”
As I concentrated to check the information in the warehouse, the things in it began to force into my head. The difference was that there was no headache this time.
‘I’m getting used to it little by little.’
Dam Poong-ho was right.
At first, it was a spiritual eye that gave me a headache when I used it, but now it doesn’t come up for a while. It felt like I had learned how to control the power and use it briefly.
In addition, the incoming information has become more and more detailed.
‘Certainly, the original ability has grown.’
Speaking of abilities, the amount of information gained increased and became more detailed, but the skills of spirituality and upper rank warfare definitely seemed to be closely related.
My gong doesn’t build up at all, but the energy of the upper level war builds up so easily.
‘Really, how can I turn the internal power of the upper class battle…’
A box of horse silver, Hwa-seop-ja, Yamyeong-ju, an engine jinxik placed inside the wall to kill intruders, and stones, trees, and icestones placed to maintain the battle order…
Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was dizzyingly grasping the incoming information, realized that there was a flow of energy in the warehouse.
Just as Yeon Woo-hyeok’s Sangdanjeon absorbs the energy around him when the case is resolved, the energy around him was flowing into one of the warehouses.
Yeon Woo-hyuk cautiously moved into the warehouse. It came into my head that one of the ice stones that made up the camp had a slight crack.
‘Is the formula… broken?’
Seeing that the cold air only flowed abnormally around here, I wondered if it was because of cracks in the icestone that made up the camp. It was so faint gold that it was impossible to see with the naked eye.
Yeon Woo-hyuk stood in front of a cracked ice stone to check. Then, the cold air collected in front of the ice stone rushed ferociously. Embarrassed, Yeon Woo-hyuk stretched out his hand to block the front.
‘Oops!’
It was a mistake. If you block it with your hand, will that kind of energy be blocked?
Yeon Woo-hyeok blamed himself for foolishly wandering around the camp. No matter how much the military bases were installed in the warehouse, they were not to be underestimated.
But at that moment the chill stopped.
“…??”
Yeon Woo-hyuk was flustered and checked his energy, but the cold stopped moving. It seemed as if he was manipulating with Yeon Woo-hyuk’s will.
‘no way.’
As I focused my mind and gave the command, the cold air moved left, right, and upward.
How can you manipulate the energy within the Jinbeop like this?
If that was possible, Jinbeop would have disappeared long ago in Moorim. What would be the point if a prisoner could control his energy at will?
‘Is this also thanks to the war with the upper tier?’
Yeon Woo-hyuk also knew that he was unique. Not only is the upper level hall open, but a large amount of spiritual energy is being accumulated inside it, and it also has rare supernatural powers.
If that affects things like now…
‘I’ll send them out at once!’
Yeon Woo-hyuk hurriedly sent cold air out. I couldn’t hold out for long as my body seemed to freeze.
The sound of the wind in the warehouse grew stronger. Gong asked in surprise.
“What’s going on?!”
“So this is…”
Before Yeon Woo-hyuk could make an excuse, the ear-piercing sound of the wind stopped. And all the cold air in the warehouse was gone.
“Sorry…”
“Great, great! I didn’t even know that it was going to be solved like this, really!”
Jinang Zhuge Gyu (2)
‘Is everything… row?’
Yeon Woo-hyuk felt embarrassed and relieved at the same time.
The embarrassment was because the energy built up in the battle was blown away, and the relief was that the commander-in-chief was not angry at all about it.
On the contrary, General Gong was happy that Yeon Woo-hyeok had solved it.
“Hey, that’s really great. Even the people of the Jegal family could not find a solution.”
“I just got really lucky.”
Yeon Woo-hyeok was frightened and answered the words of the general public.
Not out of humility, but out of genuine danger.
For the Murim people, pride was, in a way, more important than life. It was common for those who were willing to die to tarnish their name or reputation.
In fact, among the cases that Yeon Woo-hyeok solved, the cases related to the Moorim people were quite often motivated by honor or pride.
Insulting one’s martial arts, insulting one’s nickname, insulting one’s skill, insulting one’s monk…
In this kind of world, what would happen if the general gong went around talking about things like ‘one of Hankyung’s Pogwa has magical powers, and his talent is superior to that of Zhuge Sega’?
Even if he said it with good intentions, if only one of the warriors of the Jegal Sega came to visit him, Yeon Woo-hyeok would have no choice but to become a dead body instead of a myeong-po-kwa on that day.
However, General Gong did not know what Yeon Woo-hyeok was thinking and only looked at him with admiration.
‘I’ve never seen such a young man before.’
As much as he has extensive knowledge, he has seen many people who boasted that he had supernatural powers. Most of them were shady scammers, but some of them had really good tricks.
Such people were arrogant and disrespectful, and often looked down on others who lacked magical powers. Gong thought that was the inevitable fate of those gifted with magical powers.
As life span is short, it is bound to be arrogant and disrespectful.
However, the joy in front of them showed a talent that overwhelmed them, but there was not a single point of arrogance. Rather, he bowed his head humbly.
From the point of view of General Gong, I had no choice but to feel that it was like a Taoist Shinseng.
“Old man. I am grateful for praising my talent, but I am afraid that too grandiose praise will cause envy.”
“Ahh. Don’t worry about that.”
At Pokke’s words, the governor-general laughed bitterly.
The saying that an angular stone fits right is not a saying that only applies to Moorim, but it applies everywhere.
The seasoned General Gong immediately understood why this exuberant man was saying such a thing.
“I made you worry unnecessarily. sorry for this I’m not going to mention this directly. Maybe that would be good?”
“thank you.”
“okay. Just let the people around you tell you that you are talented and that you found the stolen hermit.”
The opponent communicated better than I thought. Yeon Woo-hyuk thanked the other person for their consideration and inspected the inside of his body.
Fortunately, he did not suffer any internal injuries because he manipulated the coldness of Jinbeop at will.
In order to build up inner gong in the lower half and perform martial arts, you need to deeply understand the logic of the mental method, build up energy throughout the body, and use the handful of inner power gathered in the lower half of the body with all your might. Why is the supernatural power of the upper half of the battle so easy?
‘It’s good to train my supernatural powers, but I need to find a martial art book as soon as possible.’
What Yeon Woo-hyeok needed now was not to further polish his magical powers, but to sharpen his martial arts to train his lower end and strengthen his mid-half war.
“The commander-in-chief is better!”
“What is it? A guest is here.”
When the servant hurriedly came, Governor Gong replied with a confused expression.
“A guest has come from Jegal Sega.”
“…!”
“……”
Even if he didn’t have to use his supernatural powers, Yeon Woo-hyeok was able to intuit that things had gone awry.
* * *
Zhuge Gyu closed his eyes and waited for the commander-in-chief.
It wasn’t even a bloody battlefield, but Jegal-gyu was quite nervous as if there was an opponent in front of him.
It wasn’t even because Gong was a hidden martial arts master, or that Bangga Battlefield was a demonic cave teeming with hidden masters.
It was because of a mistake made by Jegal-gyu himself.
-sorry. Mr.
– You must know how to rectify the mistakes you have committed yourself. Are you a warrior who passes on your mistakes to others? Or are you a warrior who takes care of himself?
– Obviously the latter. Mr.
-I will give you one more chance. Find the Ice Stone of Jinbeop. If the coldness runs rampant, the ice stone must be the cause.
-But, Mr. The ice is obviously fine…
-You should be careful with what you say next. I’ll evaluate you with what you say as a warrior of the great Jegal family. ruler. tell me
-…no. I was wrong. Let’s check again.
The Jegal family was one of the five most prestigious families of Murim and was a powerful family group that boasted of authority, which was rare to follow in the vicinity, but it was not possible to sell dog meat with a sheep’s head hanging.
What if rumors spread that the Jinsik installed by the warriors of the Jegal Sega is different from what was promised?
The reputation of being the best among the five generations could be damaged. This reputation, once tarnished, was not easy to restore.
Besides, Bangajeonjang was not a small force that could be ignored arbitrarily. It was a shame because the effect of the Jinbeop worked properly, but if the effect of the Jinbeop didn’t work, it could have been much bigger.
Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Gyu heard the teachings from the elder of his family, he hurriedly packed up and set off. It was because I was afraid that if I left it alone for a long time, the jinbeop would cause an unexpected change.
“…The commander-in-chief is running late.”
“sorry. great deal.”
One of the servants lowered his stance as if he were about to fall to the ground and offered an apology.
It was because he knew that the temperament of the Murim people could become violent.
However, there was no sign of nervousness or perplexity on the faces of the servants. This was impossible without the confidence that their master now had a good reason for his late arrival.
‘What’s going on?’
I wondered if Zhuge Gyu had participated in a meeting of nearby merchants or was summoned by a high official. If that’s the reason, it makes sense that the servants can’t help it like that.
“What happened?”
“yes. Actually, a thief broke into the warehouse…”
“Ouch!”
Jegalgyu coughed as he spat out the tea water from the teacup served by the servants. The sudden news tightened Jegalgyu’s heart.
“Could it be… could there be a problem with the jinbeop?”
“sorry. great deal. Without the elders’ permission, it’s hard to dare to say anything.”
Jegalgyu’s eyebrows curled up in anger. However, Jegalgyu was not stupid enough to go on a rampage in this situation.
If the jinbeop installed by Zhuge Gyu became a problem and was stolen, this would not be an ordinary case.
Just then, the commander-in-chief walked out of the backyard. Just like the last time I saw him, he was a man who had the impression of a born merchant, who was thorough and meticulous in everything.
Beside him was a rather peculiar man. With a tall physique, an impression that gives off a sense of peace and tranquility somewhere. The most curious thing was the eyes. Even though he wasn’t glaring at or trying to intimidate anyone, a piercing light shimmered in his eyes.
Jegal-gyu had seen such eyes somewhere before. When I remembered it, surprisingly, it was the look in the eyes of the family leader who led the Jegal family in front of the warriors of the family.
Without any disgrace, scolding, or coercion due to internal power, the head of the Jegal Sega knew how to calmly subdue the warriors sitting in the middle with just his eyes.
‘Am I crazy?’
Jegalgyu suddenly came to his senses. To think of Jegalse and Gazoo in the eyes of someone seeing him for the first time. He seemed to have lost his mind because he was anxious and disturbed.
When I looked again, he was wearing an outfit I had seen many times before. It was an exhilarating outfit.
‘ah. A thief…’
Only then did Jegal-gyu understand why Pok-kwa had come.
Upon hearing rumors of a thief, it seemed that Podu nearby had sent Pokwae.
