Surviving as a Cripple in Murim

chapter 4



4 – Ten thousand ask the teacher (3)

Show the example of the teacher to an unknown person.

Unlike modern people who have the mindset of paying money to learn something good. It is a sight that would make the Moorim people, who regard the teacher-pupil relationship as the same level as the father-son relationship, would click their tongues if they saw it.

But what? It doesn’t matter if you’re old, young, female, male or unknown. It is a stimulus that I received after a long time in the boring world of Moorim. You will learn what you want to learn.

I don’t know if he knows my inner thoughts or not, but the unknown master received my bow and gift. He accepted me as a disciple. It was a formal relationship between master and disciple.

“Good. Then, before I formally teach you how to use the baton, I’ll teach you the inner core method first.”

When it comes to the inner core method, I know it after hearing it from Jang Sam-yi. First of all, I understand it as a breathing method that creates a mana storage inside the body.

“The internal public mind law that I will teach you is the Hyeonmun Jeongjong internal public mind method. It is also called the Jeonjinsimbeop because it is the traditional Taoist internal gongsimbeop, which is mainly learned in Jeonjingyo.”

Hyeonmun Jeongjong Naeongsimbeop… It’s a name that looks like something. Usually, if the name is that long, it’s either a very good skill or, conversely, a very weak skill. I wish I could learn the former.

“Forward mind method builds up inner energy slowly compared to the ascending internal air mind method, which is learned by famous sapana and Jeongpa.”

I have no intention of becoming the best in the world anyway, as I am learning to chase dogs for self-defense, but I was a bit concerned when I heard that the speed of accumulating internal energy was slow.

“Uh… It’s good to learn quickly. Anything else?”

“Heh heh~ I can’t believe I will teach my students the inner-hearted mind method, which only has disadvantages. Listen to the end.”

Master just laughed at my dissatisfaction and said, ‘Heh heh’, and then went on to explain.

“The advantage of forward thinking method is consistency. In the first 10 years, internal energy develops slowly, but after 10 years, internal energy increases exponentially.”

Hmm~ Coin martial arts. John Bermeta is unofficial. In a world where there are no games or the Internet, the only thing left is time. If you work hard for about 10 years, you should be able to learn it.

“It is also the Taoist internal gong mind method, so if you learn it, the energy of the body becomes clear. You don’t get minor diseases and aging is slowed down. Above all, there is no risk of falling into the coin cultivation because it is a simbeop that builds internal energy safely.”

Master stretched out her long arm and touched the blood vessels in my right leg. It tickled.

“This is why I am trying to teach you how to move forward. If you learn it, the condition of your legs will improve a lot and you will feel more comfortable.”

My eyes widened in surprise when I heard that the disorder in my right leg, which always grabs my ankle whenever something happens, will improve.

“Does learning martial arts improve disability?! sh*t! You will learn right away! I lost 10 years of my life!!”

“Heh heh~ Instead, be thankful that you didn’t overcook it. Humans had a constitution. If you learn martial arts that are not suitable for your body, you may fall into the magic spell and die.”

Anyway, they say it’s good to get used to it. There is no reason to give up. Koreans lose their senses when they see something good for their body.

In order not to interrupt Master’s explanation, I kept my mouth shut and kept my head straight as I engraved each and every phrase of the Forward Mind Method into my head.

[If you make up your mind, forget your feelings]

[Refresh yourself if your body is weak]

[When the heart dies, the spirit lives]

[When yang is prosperous, yin disappears]

Sit cross-legged and repeat the four sentences endlessly while exhaling. Keep your mind clear and avoid distractions. Repeat this process over and over again until you don’t realize it yourself.

***

My life has definitely changed after learning the Hyeonmun Jeongjong Naeongsimbeop.

Originally, I wouldn’t even look at a place where dogs were barking. When I was bored, I took out candy from the children.

Hyeonmun Jeongjong Since I learned the Naeongsimbeop, I try to maintain my dignity.

Just now, I felt sorry that I would have taken away all the candy bags to show the cruelty of society, so I only took out half of them.

In the past, walking was slower than a duckling waddling. Fort has improved his legs, so he’s faster than a duck.

Again, no matter how much the f*ck happens. Looking at the face reflected in the bathroom, who am I alone?

“Hyeonmunjeongjongnaegongsimbeop user Sima Mancheon (司馬瞞天).”

I feel better when I laugh while doing it.

I think this is why it is said that martial arts make people.

From now on, I will teach you the batting stick method and Cheon Gang North Head Jin.”

Let’s practice the Forward Mind Method in front of Master. As if the achievement was satisfactory, Master brought out a new martial art.

That’s right. In the first place, I came in as a disciple to learn how to bat. In the meantime, learning the forward mind method was fun, so I completely forgot about the batting stick method. However… What is Tianjiang Beijin? Just hearing the name is almost fatal.

“Teacher, what is the Tianjiang Beidoujin?”

Raise your hand and ask a question. Master explained while drawing a picture of the Big Dipper on the dirt floor with a branch.

“Cheonjiang North Dipper is a method developed by Wang Zhongyang, a researcher of Jeonjin Bridge, by applying the principle of the Big Dipper.”

Chunqiu – Chunseon – Chunqi – Chunquan – Jade type – Kaiyang – Yaoguang

“It is a strategy with a mysterious trick, but to put it simply, it is a group tactic in which seven soldiers who have trained in forward thinking, each taking the position of the Big Dipper, work together.”

Master is the star that connects the handle and the ladle shape of the Big Dipper. He pointed to the Heavenly Quarter with a twig.

“The one who holds the authority of heaven becomes the commander of the Big Dipper. Command other stars They are excellent passers-by who drive the enemy and increase the power of their skills with the power of Jin.”

Cheon Kwon-eun plays the role of the engineering chief. And Cheonkangbukdojin is like a group buff that gathers the strength of seven people.

“When the masters of the Forward Sim method perform Cheon-Gang Buk-Du Jin, a close-to-close fight unfolds in which even the best master in the world cannot know the outcome.”

“Uh… I think it’s kind of weird at the point where it’s only a draw with a 7-1 score. Is it good?”

“Heh heh… Because the opponent is the best master in the world. And if you realize the trick of Cheonjiang North Headquarters and engrave it deeply in your heart, you will master the logic of fighting and you will not be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.”

Do you mean that you have to master the passing team in order to fight against the passing team? Do you think it might be right? Maybe not? Well, there’s nothing wrong with learning. All that remains is time.

“Because I am not a Moorim person in the first place. There will be no fights or agreements with the Murim people, but they will teach you. There’s no reason to give up. I will learn thanks.”

“Good. However, both the batting stick and Cheon Gang Buk Do Jin are very difficult martial arts to learn. If you neglect training, you won’t learn either of them properly. Are you ready?”

I answered Master’s question with determination to the extent that my round face, which had not yet lost its breast meat, was dead skinny.

“Master, I am Sima Man-tian, a genius who deceives even the heavens. Don’t worry, just let me know.”

… Two hours later.

Taeeng~ The baton method is too difficult! This is a lie Lehu~!!

Tagubong Method – Bad Dog Stove (惡犬攔路) = What to do if a ferocious dog blocks your way.

Ugyaaagh! Keee Wookiyiyi profit!

What should I do! If you can, why learn how to bat!! Let me know! I want you to tell me how to beat a bastard efficiently!!

I’ve only just learned one herb. My head is already breaking and I don’t understand it well. When Master demonstrated it, something seemed really plausible. Because i do It’s just a cane bungjbungjjji.

At this point, it is not the batted stick method, but the mounted stick method.

Mounting stick method! Deffu~ Mutt is already dead death~ Detchaa turns over the boat as a sign of obedience right now!!

A real sigh comes out by itself.

… Hey sh*t. I should not boast that I am a genius who deceives even the sky. I want to hide in a mouse hole because I am embarrassed.

Still, once he started, his pride wouldn’t allow him to give up, so he rolled his head and twisted his whole body, trying to open the dog stove somehow.

Imagining that there is a ferocious dog in front of me, I swing my cane. Try swinging it randomly, stabbing it like fencing, hitting it like a clothespin hitting the laundry at the riverside, and sweeping the floor like a broom. Then, eventually, the stress exploded, and I saw him rolling on the floor chewing his cane carefully.

Master, who watched me from the beginning to the end, said while stroking my long beard with a satisfied face.

“You are doing well.”

“… Yes?”

If it was rather sarcastic, I wouldn’t have been absurd. But it wasn’t sarcasm at all. It was a genuine compliment.

At my absurd question, Master taught me with a benevolent smile as always.

“Don’t think too hard. The baton method is a martial art made by beggars. I am doing very well now.”
