Surviving as a Cripple in Murim

6 – Ten thousand ask the teacher (5)

“Who am I? You’re asking something strange. Of course, he is a passer-by and Sama Mancheon’s teacher.”

“You have shown me so much so far that I can’t move on with such words.”

No matter how oblivious he was about Moorim, it was too late to notice. It was too late.

The Hyeonmunjeongjongnae Gongsimbeop and Cheonkang North Head Jin, which Master taught me, are Taoist martial arts. And the baton method is an open martial art made by a beggar. Factions are different

It is rare to learn two martial arts from different sects at the same time unless you have a Taoist school teacher and a teacher from a liberal school, respectively.

The same goes for fantasy. Usually, only one school is used per person. Well, if the main character has multiple teachers, he/she uses a mixture of different schools, but usually, to increase the practice time, he chooses only one strong school that matches his compatibility and practices only with that one.

A person who knows various martial arts and can use them perfectly like Master… Fantasy and martial arts are similar yet different genres, so I’m not sure, but I don’t think there’s much of it.

“… The reason I hide my identity is for my sake and also for you. I can only say this now.”

I was even more puzzled by Master’s attitude of saying weak words for some reason, but I couldn’t ask any more about Master’s identity.

It was because it felt as if Master would leave without a word if I asked more closely. There are still many things I want to learn. Then it’s difficult…. But still, I need to know something I’ve been curious about for a long time.

I carefully brought up a question I had heard from the day Master received the bundle of beef jerky and accepted me as a disciple.

“Master wants to hide it. How can I ask Still, let me tell you this much. Why did you accept me as your disciple?”

If you wanted to hide your identity in the first place, you shouldn’t accept the disciple. Nevertheless, Master accepted me as a disciple and taught me wholeheartedly. I don’t understand.

“Because you had talent.”

The fact that I was recognized for my talent by my master is happy, but it is not an acceptable reason. What kind of talent can you see in a child who cries out to be saved while rolling on the ground after being bluffed by a bastard?

And in the first place I am lame. The body is not suitable for learning martial arts. But what kind of talent is Master saying he saw in me? I don’t understand.

Let me keep my mouth shut and not understand. Master smiled bitterly. It was a first look.

“Mancheon-ah, you haven’t realized it yourself yet, but you have an outstanding talent. That is righteousness and cooperation.”

“… Yes? Righteousness and cooperation?”

I asked back in an idiotic voice at the completely unexpected and absurd statement. Master looked up at the sky, exhaled deeply, and lamented.

“Wu can be taught. But righteousness and fairness cannot be taught. I can’t get it to be engraved deep in my heart.”

Originally, I was going to question what kind of talents righteousness and cooperation are, but I couldn’t say anything when I saw Master’s sorrowful face.

“How many people can take care of others in a life-threatening situation? That’s a very difficult thing. It is not an easy task for a faction master who believes himself to be correct, or a Sapa master who calls himself a free fighter.”

Master bent over his huge body and sat on one knee, making eye contact with me. You can see the face of an old man who can feel the years and lamentation in the fine wrinkles.

“But a lame kid did it.”

“… I’m grateful that you look at me like that, but I can’t even run anyway… What is it… “

The reason I let the child run away and dealt with the dog alone was because I was in a situation where I could only do that anyway. It’s not because I’m full of righteousness and goodwill. Rather, words such as righteous or good people have little to do with me. Doesn’t fit.

“Mancheon, you are a clever person. If he had tried to survive, he could have tripped the frightened child and used it as bait to escape.”

“…… “

“Even if the child survives and reveals that you used him as bait, it can be easily covered up by using the property of the house. But I didn’t.”

Master’s thick, large hands gently squeezed my shoulders.

“I wanted to give strength because you are the kind of person who chose a difficult path instead of choosing a path that is comfortable for the body. So I accepted him as a disciple and taught him martial arts.”

I’m in trouble for having strange expectations. At that time, it really happened that way. Rather, I was scolded at that time and knew that my life was important. I will never risk my life again. So even if you look at me with such warm eyes… It is difficult.

In the end, I wasn’t feeling well that day, so I gave chicken porridge to Master and returned home. And her mother scolded her for sneaking out.

I would have felt more at ease if I had been angry and heard the cane. Sorry for crying

***

Autumn when red leaves begin to fall.

Now, as soon as I get used to it, I practice Cheon-Gang Buk-Du Jin while stepping on falling leaves from an abandoned house.

What is Cheonganbukdujin? Cheonchu – Cheonsun – Cheongi – Cheonkwon – Okhyung – Gaeyang – Yogwang, etc. Passing Jin pushes opponents with seven stars. The most important star among them is the Cheon Kwon. It’s not important because he’s simply Jin’s commander.

Cheonjiang North Star is a Jin that deals with external enemies in the position of the Big Dipper. In other words, if the opponent occupies the position of the heavenly authority, the center of the Big Dipper and the core of Jin, there is nothing you can do. It gets ruined so easily.

That’s why the person who holds the power of heaven must operate the camp in a timely manner to prevent the enemy from entering.

It would be nice if I could directly match the sum, but since I am the only one, I imagine the warriors who have learned the Forward Mind method and practice the sum and the truth.

I perfectly memorized the theory taught by my teacher. I am confident of getting a perfect score in the Cheonjiang Beukdujin written test. First, I take the heavenly authority and command the camp to fight against an imaginary enemy. After that, go to the position of each different star and unfold the form that suits the situation.

The Commander’s role, Cheon Kwon, is better, but other positions require immediate connection with other stars. In particular, Cheonchu and Yaoguang, which have a lot of movement at the end of the Big Dipper, are hard seats for the lame. I’m already out of breath.

If this was an actual unique monster raid party, you would have been kicked out right away. And I, who was kicked out of the party, accidentally awakened my legend skills, and the party members who kicked me out will regret, exhaustion, and obsession.

But even if I regret it and cling to it, it’s already too late. Because I will be enjoying the only saintess who believed in me and the innocent pure love Yasu.

… Let’s stop talking bullsh*t and practice again.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I wiped off the sweat and tried to practice Tianjiang Beijin again. Strange things were happening at Master’s hands.

At first, I thought it was just clapping. But I didn’t look closely. The left and right hands were charging at each other, hitting and slashing and fighting. It’s not just fighting. As if both hands were separate beings, they used completely different martial arts and fought with each other.

… Uh, what is this??

The right hand drove his left hand with a fast and strong kwonbeop like lightning, and the left hand, on the contrary, defended against the attack of the right hand with a kwonbeop of Yu that combines softness and futility.

Right hand and left hand fighting with sparks literally. Dragon and pumpkin. A close-knit battle unfolded, with no winner or loser known.

“Su, master uses witchcraft! What the hell is ‘that’?!”

I was startled and questioned by the appearance of a new, unknown weapon. Master replied in a carefree manner as usual.

“Ah… This is a double-handed pumpkin. Literally, with both hands hitting each other, they spread different martial arts, and even though they are alone, two people… No. It’s a martial art that gives off more power than that.”

If you think about it easily, isn’t it a martial art that doubles your fighting power like Kaiwangkwon in Dragon Ball?! I threw my staff to the ground in anger at the fact that I had been hiding such good martial arts without being taught it until now.

“No! If you have something good like that, of course you have to let me know! For me, 7 of them and 1 of them are tied with trash like Cheonjiang Beukdujin, tell me who passed! He practiced the open-air technique to exert as much strength as two people by himself. Does this make sense?! Throw up all the beef jerky I gave you!!”

Seeing my spitting and vociferous speech, Master calmed me down by coughing as if he was flustered.

“Keuheum… It’s not that I didn’t teach you because I didn’t want to. As I said before, people have a constitution, so they cannot learn martial arts that do not suit their body well.”

“… Are you saying that you thought I wouldn’t be able to learn the double-headed pumpkin anyway, so you didn’t teach me?”

Huh! Great! It’s ridiculous.

Is it too much for Sama Mancheon, a genius who deceives even the sky who learned the mysterious batting technique and Cheon Gang Buk Do Jin, which is unnecessarily difficult compared to its efficiency? I’m dead to make Master think like that. I need to confirm that you are still alive.

I ran my hand through my hair and spoke confidently to Master.

“Teacher, I am Sima Manchuan, a genius who deceives even the heavens. Don’t worry, just let me know.”

Master looked at my self-confident self with great satisfaction. He answered my question again in a benevolent voice as usual.

“That’s why I can’t learn. The double-headed pumpkin is a martial art that a clever person, a person with a lot of thoughts, or worse, a person with a lot of thoughts can’t learn.”
