Episode 198 How easy do you think that would be?
What Gwonma always said didn’t come out.
It was a good try.
Did the attempt finally work? Or does this mean they won’t even mention it anymore?
Gwonma wordlessly turned his gaze to the fighting arena. Two men were fighting bloody. And the crowd goes crazy for them.
“This place will look the same even if decades pass by.”
“Maybe my son can come here with his grandfather, Madam Kwon.”
Then the horse looked at me with a surprised face.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Are you planning on getting married?”
“If there is a good person.”
Of course, I have no intention of getting married, but I gave a general answer.
Gwonma spoke firmly.
“I recommend not doing it unless you really like someone.”
Gwon Ma told me a story about when he was young and said that he had decided that he would never have a family or friends for the rest of his life, so I thought it was natural that he would give this advice. But there was another reason for his advice.
“Isn’t it so difficult for even an outstanding person like you to fight for succession without shedding blood? Will your children be able to do it like you did? “It’s something that the average person can’t handle.”
It was a statement that spoke highly of me, and it also made me worry about future generations. Above all, it was assuming that I had become the Heavenly Demon.
“I will judge carefully.”
“Now that I think about it, you talked about severing the lineage of the Heavenly Demon blood family.”
“It doesn’t matter. “It happened after I died.”
This was Gwonma’s expression after hearing what I said. I guess you really could be thinking such carefree thoughts.
“Let’s go now.”
“yes.”
Gwonma looked back at the fighting arena one last time from the exit. Will I ever come to this fighting arena again in my lifetime? Although he couldn’t know what would happen next, he probably thought that Gwonma was a place he would never come to again. When I looked around, I looked around slowly with complex emotions in my eyes, but when I actually turned around, Gwonma walked away with great strides.
After leaving the fighting arena, we walked without a destination in mind. Now Gwonma didn’t ask where he was going. I too walked along the road without thinking, as if having no plan was a plan.
“Have you ever lost your way?”
“There is none.”
“I don’t have one either.”
That may be why this silly trip is more valuable and meaningful.
Neither he nor I have ever lived so unplanned. Because the joy of getting lost in life was unimaginable.
“I actually lost the bet. “I admit it.”
“No. “I lost this bet.”
It was unexpected. Even though he said it was okay, I thought he wouldn’t have been very happy to see match-fixing taking place.
“It’s been a long time since I had fun. Thanks to you, I thought about the past.”
Isn’t this what he wants to say? Thanks to you, I let you know what kind of person I am.
“Then our pride battle is one-on-one.”
“We have to decide.”
“sure.”
At that time, Gwonma said.
“There’s a place I want to go before that.”
For the first time, Gwonma said he wanted to go somewhere.
“If I’m with you, I’ll go to hell!”
“The place we’re going isn’t that hot. “Rather, it’s a place where you should bring thick cotton clothes.”
Leaving behind the fighting arena filled with long-standing memories of Gwonma, we began walking along the fading sunset.
* * *
Gwonma and I, who had run a long way, were standing together at the top of the snowy mountain.
Hehehe.
The wind that brought the snow swept up into the air, swirling the snow around it.
“Why did you want to come here?”
The place Gwonma wanted to go was this snowy mountain.
“This is the place where the former Gwonma made me his successor.”
“Oh, is that so?”
This was a fact I didn’t know.
“Actually, Master and I didn’t get along well. When choosing the final successor, Master wanted to choose someone else. Even though he was inferior to me in martial arts, he was much better with his master. But do you know why Master chose me?”
“Is it because of your father?”
“That’s right, it’s because of the religious leader.”
When the young Kwonma was brought into the Dongwonmun, his father was not the leader of the religious group. However, by the time Gwon Ma officially took over the position of Majon, his father had risen to the position of Heavenly Demon.
The former Gwonma couldn’t help but notice his father, who had become the Heavenly Demon.
“You became a horseman because of your father.”
“Isn’t it even better for you, Master Kwon?”
“Is it cool?”
“Because your father has a better eye for people than the sentai horse. My father picked a young fighter who was punching in the fighting ring without an ounce of inner strength. The fighter went from the White Fist to the Black Fist all by himself and eventually became a Champion. “Trust your father with the way you see people.”
“There was a time when I was confident. If not me, who will be the champion? But I’m not sure now. “Was the religious leader’s judgment right?”
“If that judgment had been wrong, other mazons would not have chosen Madam Kwon as the most difficult mazon to deal with. “Anyone can see that the person who fits the position is Madam Kwon.”
Gwonma looked at the snowy landscape in silence. It was an enchanting view that could only be enjoyed at the summit, standing tall in a completely white world.
I highly appreciated the sight of Gwonma looking back at himself. If he didn’t have that kind of heart, he would become a stubborn old man and harden like a fossil. As a person who looks into himself, I believe that a fighting horse can break down a cliff.
I told him my honest feelings.
“At first, I was curious about what kind of person Madam Kwon was. Then, I fell in love with the goal of tearing down the cliff and wanted to tear it down too. “Now I like Madam Kwon’s true self better.”
“My true self?”
“I think the way he fought against the black swordsmen in his youth is the true character of Master Gwon. When I go back, I want to gather all the Tekkens together and tell them that story. hey! Your Gwonma is like this! “I do.”
“Did you only say nice things like this to other mazons?”
“I said a lot of honest things, not just nice things to say. These were words that other people didn’t say because of the position of Mazon. Oh, of course, I admit to some level of flattery. I tried to be nice to him as much as possible and wanted to become friends with him whenever possible. But I didn’t make up a story that didn’t exist. “I also said things that I wish someone would say to me later on in my life.”
Then he looked at the horse and added:
“You don’t do it well, do you?”
Even if you teach hundreds of people, even if you are in a place where tens of thousands of students come and go.
“You don’t really hear things like that, do you?”
Will there be anyone who will say this to me later? I did everything like this.
The horse stared at me without saying a word. After staring for a while, he looked at the mountain on the other side for a while again.
“What do you plan to do when you become the Heavenly Demon? “Is Moorim Unification a dream?”
“It’s the opposite.”
“The opposite?”
“We will prevent anyone from achieving martial arts unity. Even if it’s my father.”
Gwonma’s eyes shone.
“You knew it too.”
That means that Gwonma also knew.
“I know that my father dreams of unifying Moorim.”
“Well, there’s no way someone as smart as you wouldn’t have noticed that.”
“What do you think, Master Kwon?”
“I will do whatever your father wants. If I give the order to start a war and kill everyone, I will kill them all without hesitation. “No matter who it is.”
Now I know for sure. My father’s right hand man was a horseman. So, is the left arm a Hyeolcheon sword? He said that the elixir he gave me was something he received from my father.
“I will stop it. “Father and Madam Gwon.”
After that, we stood there in silence for a while.
Hehehe.
As the blowing snowstorm coolly passed us by, Gwonma’s decision was carried through the wind.
“I will make you my first disciple.”
I was surprised. Although my goal was to become his disciple, I had no idea that I would be making him a disciple here like this. Moreover, it was the moment when I confirmed that I had conflicting thoughts about Moorim Iltong.
A large, thick body turned towards me. That scary face that I was now used to. Now his eyes were different from usual. Gwonma said with deep and serious eyes.
“I will become your master, so become my disciple.”
The moment I heard that, I was moved to tears. Joy surged up. In the end, she succeeded in moving this man’s heart. It was not because I wanted to obtain a magician called a martial arts warrior or because I could obtain his martial arts techniques. I just loved having this person become my master.
“Waaaaaa!”
I was so happy that I jumped up on the spot. Like a puppy excited about snow, I expressed my joy to the fullest.
When I truly liked him, Gwon Ma’s expression softened. Was that kind of softness hidden in that scary face? So much so that I want to.
It was so good that I took out the first one. Since an avalanche could occur, it was released into empty space. J-Kwon also poured it out in an instant.
“thank you. thank you.”
I offered the nine obeisances on the spot.
“I would like to formally greet my disciple, Master Sword Dance. From now on, please guide this foolish disciple well with your great teachings.”
The horse’s large hand was placed on my prone shoulder. He lightly tapped my shoulder with his rough, thick hand. Now that I think about it, it was the first time I felt the soft touch of a horse.
“Get up.”
I got up from my seat.
“Master.”
Gwonma is the person I want to make as my master. He is a person who deserves it.
“Disciple.”
It seems that Gwonma is not unhappy about having his first disciple.
“From now on, I will pass on the entire volume of Byeokryeok Sura.”
Gwon Ma did not put off training in martial arts. He didn’t want anything from me in exchange for martial arts training. Gwonma is this kind of man.
At the top of the snowy mountain, Kwon Ma began teaching martial arts from the third to sixth fists of the Byeoryeok Sura Fist.
Volume 3, Heavenly Thunder Surah.
It was the heaviest fist among the fists of the Demon Lord. It wasn’t an attack that struck enemies from afar like the Black Cloud Sura, nor was it a fast-punching attack like the Byeokryuk Sura. It was a martial arts technique in which one struck directly with one’s fist, and the power contained in each blow was enormous. The sacrificial power
of Cheolgak Sura (鐵脚修羅) and
Byeokryeok Sura did not only involve the use of fists. There was also Chosik, who crushed his opponent with a powerful kick. The movement itself was so splendid and cool that I was sure that people would be amazed when the Cheokgak Sura unfolded.
Book 5: Diamond Sura (金剛修羅).
It was an herbivore that temporarily protected its body by making it like steel. Although it was an herbivorous diet that was extremely draining of internal energy, it was an herbivorous diet that would save one’s life in times of crisis.
I was hoping that if I used the Fifth Fist and the Heavenly Demon Tiger God Technique together, I would be able to temporarily see the effect of the Diamond Buddha.
And the last sixth power, Yeomreisura (閻雷修羅).
The last volume of the Byeokryeok Sura volume. It was called the King of Flame’s thunderbolt, and it was the final herbivoice that poured out all the internal energy in the body in one blow. It was also a herbivore that would collapse the cliff, but if this move didn’t work, the opponent would kill him.
This is a strong enemy that requires the use of the last six powers, but if this Chosik fails, you will have to deal with him without a single ounce of internal strength.
I received training in the Byeokryeok Sura Quan for seven days at the top of a snowy mountain. I studied the book thoroughly from the first to the last volume.
In the process, Gwonma also received many insights about fighting that he had felt throughout his life. Once I decided to make him my disciple, I gave him a lot of advice. I must have fallen in love with this cool look.
Now all that remains is for me to train hard and achieve greatness.
In the future, even if you lose your sword during a fight, that situation will not be an opportunity for your opponent. Rather, that moment will be my opportunity to strike a blow to the unwary opponent.
“When I return to school, I plan to make two announcements. The first is that I have accepted you as a disciple. The second is that Dong Quan Gate officially supports the Archduke.”
It was what I expected. This announcement will cause a stir on campus again. How will the other Mazon and his older brother react? And who is the father?
“Everyone will see me as a greedy person who has stepped on both you and the Archduke.”
“How about looking at it like that? Master says he wants to live like that. If you’re jealous, you do the same. Do you think it’ll be easy? You cowards! “You can do it.”
Gwonma laughed. Now I feel more comfortable laughing at myself.
“Let’s just go down here, disciple.”
“Yes, Master.”
I walked down the snowy mountain with my horse. He came down, leaving footprints on the snow where no one had stepped. Although he and I had already reached the level of no knowledge, we came down deliberately leaving no footprints behind.
I wanted to put footprints on the stone floor and put up a sign like this next to them.
The path that Gwonma and Geomgeuk walked down after forming a priestly bond.
After coming down the mountain, we naturally headed towards the main school.
Before leaving, I stopped by Seoho Gaekjan near Seolsan Mountain to see if there was any message for me.
“ah! Master. “I have a place to stop by.”
“Where?”
“I received a call from my people asking to see me.”
Gowol and Pungcheon, who were building an intelligence organization in the central plains, sent a message asking me to meet them.
“so? “Are you going to abandon me?”
“Are you throwing it away?”
“Aren’t you saying I should go back alone? Now that you have learned all the martial arts skills, you can go away. Is this it? ah! This is why it has been said since ancient times that you should not give anything at once.”
I laughed out loud because I didn’t expect such words to come out of the horse’s mouth.
“Then if you go with me, I don’t know when I will return.”
Gowol wouldn’t have contacted me about something trivial.
“Are you okay with Tekken classes?”
Even now, I have been away for quite a few days. So, I was considerate because I thought Gwonma was secretly concerned.
“What are you worried about? I have a disciple now.”
“You quickly learned how to make people feel good.”
Gwonma said as he walked ahead with strides.
“Then who is your master?”
