the title : The Disciple Looks at the Master. The Master Looks at the Disciple (3)

Chiwoon Palace.

It was the name of the palace at the top of Mt. 

What is special about this palace, which is red in color, is that it is the residence of Jangmunin, the head of the Mount Hua sect.

From Chiwoon Palace, all of Mount Hua can be seen at a glance. You can see the high peaks as well as Hwaeumhyeon in the distance. What was particularly special were the countless stars unfolding at night and the rising sun that rose in the morning.

The current Jangmunin of the mount hua was Jinin Hyeoncheon. He was in his early fifties, a relatively young age for the Daehwasan faction, one of the old Daemun sects.

Twenty years have already passed since Hyeoncheon Jinin took over as head of the Mount Hua sect, when he was in his thirties. He had been receiving evaluations that said he had led the Mount Hua better than anyone else.

A middle-aged swordsman was sitting with Hyeoncheon Jinin and a small table between them. The swordsman who radiated energy like a blade was Hyeongeom Jin-in.

Jinin Hyeoncheon put down the teacup he was holding in his hand and opened his mouth.

“The achievements of the elderly are great. Even Mount Hua has had a good expert. This senior can be reassuring.”

“It’s still a long way off. We need to work harder to recreate the old glory of Mount Hua.”

“You’re right.”

Hyun-chun Jin-in looked at Hyeongeom Jin-in and smiled.

‘The achievement of the elder is truly unusual. It wasn’t too far to find a representative of the Mount Hua.’

Martial artist force tells us the strength of the clan.

In order for the sect to revive, one absolute master was needed rather than a hundred mediocre masters. What the volcanic wave needed now was an absolute expert.

“It was a lot of trouble. The path you walk on will soon become the path the mount hua walks on. Don’t forget that this senior is always cheering for you. “

“Thanks to the senior. Without you, the ruined Mount Hua would not have been able to rise in such a short time. “

“You and I have been through a lot.”

A shadow was cast around Jinin’s eyes.

Twenty years ago, when he became Jangmunin of the Mount Hua sect, everything was dark. All the masters of the previous generation, who were to lead the next generation, died, and the clan was on the verge of being cut off.

He didn’t know what to fix. His heart was pounded, and only his tears flowed uncontrollably.

He had to do anything. Hyeoncheon Jin-in devoted everything he had to the revival of Mount Hua. As a result, he didn’t even have time to learn martial arts.

Hyun-cheon Jin-in had to make a choice in the end. So he gave up martial arts. Instead, he pushed everything to Hyeongeom Jin-in, the most talented of his brothers. He gives him the secret of Mount Hua, even the few remaining elixirs.

Although Ja Hain could not be transferred due to the restrictions that only Jangmunin could learn it, Hyun-geom Jin-in had an equally profound understanding.

While Hyeongeom Jinin was learning martial arts, Hyeoncheon Jinin ran with his feet to revive the Mount Hua sect. He met with his disciples, asked for support, and sought cooperation from other sects.

He lived like that for twenty years like crazy, and was eventually able to create the current Mount Hua. Hyeongeom Jin-in, knew that fact. So he respected Hyun-chun Jin-in more than anyone else.

“Now that you are out of the isolation like this, you have the energy to do anything.”

“Now I will help you, senior.”

“It’s reassuring to hear your words. Now, you only need to raise disciples who will inherit your achievements. Only when the first mount hua first sword comes out, I can run the sect with confidence. Is the selection of disciples going well?”

“It’s going well.”

“Good luck. I will give an elixir of plum blossoms to your disciple. “

“Thank you. Jangmunin. “

The Plum Blossom elixir was the best elixir of the Mount Hua Sect, and was given only to those who would become Jangmunin .

I lost even the recipe , so he couldn’t make any more, and there were only two pills left. To give such a precious thing to the person who will become the disciple of the Hyeongeom Jin-in meant that the expectations were high.

Hyungeon Jinin smiled.

It was to find someone who would inherit the achievements of Mount Hua First Sword (Hyeongeom Jin-in). It was an important issue that should never be dealt with in vain.

“Is there a child that stands out among your great disciples?”

Hyeongeom Jin-in frowned for a moment. Because he knows what happened today.

Those intense eyes that looked at him did not seem to be easily forgotten.

Hyun-chun Jin-in shook his head.

“The Great Disciples are already in a state of completion to some extent. It is not easy to succeed in my martial arts in that state.”

“Then are you going to see the second-generation disciples as well as the younger ones?”

“There is no need for any distinction between talent and rank. To become a sword that represents a prestigious mount hua sect requires perfect talent and a lot of sweat.”

“I will.”

Hyeoncheon Jinin shook his head.

It was when the two of them smiled.

Quang!

The door of Chiwoon Palace opened like it was about to break. And it was Hyeonso Jinin, whose face was hot.

“senior.”

He glared at Hyeongeom Jin-in.

Hyeon-geom Jin-in was surprisingly calm. However, Hyun-chun Jin-in’s reaction was different.

“What’s happening? Hyeonso. You’re not raising your voice in that manner because you don’t know where this is, are you?”

“I came here because the senior is here. Jang-min.”

Jin-in Hyun-chun looked at Jin-in Hyun-geom at the intense reaction of Jin-in Hyunso. He asked him with his eyes.

Hyeon-geom Jin-in opened his mouth.

“Are you here for your disciple?”

“Exactly! What the hell did you ruin that kid for? Did that child do anything to the senior?”

“No, there was no such thing.”

“But why?”

Hyeonso Jin-in looked at Hyeongeom Jin-in as if it was going to eat him.

He was a Hyeonso Jin-in who had never shown any emotional agitation in a mount hua before. It was the first time he had expressed his emotions so violently.

Jin-in Hyeon-so lost his mind at the wounds of his beloved disciple. He came to this place in search of the culprit who made his disciple so.

Despite the anger of Hyeonso Jin-in, Hyeon-cheon Jin-in did not even move.

“Because that’s the way for him.”

“Are you saying that making him a mess is for that child?”

“No, giving up martial arts is the best thing for that child.”

“What nonsense is that?”

Hyeonso Jin-in struck the table with his fist. As a result, the teacups on the table fell to the floor.

“Take it easy.”

Hyeoncheon Jinin frowned and raised his voice. However, Hyeonso Jin-in looked at Hyun-so Jin-in without paying any attention.

“Why is giving up martial arts, for the sake of that child?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“I don’t know. Really. I don’t know.”

“isn’t he lame? How can a child with a crippled leg excel at Mount Hua’s martial arts? I also saw the child’s talent, but I couldn’t help it.”

“If you limp, shouldn’t you learn martial arts?”

“I don’t know if it’s from other clans, but at least the Mount Hua’s martial arts aren’t easy enough for the lame to learn.”

“Senior! I’m really disappointed with you. How could the first sword of the sect, other than anyone else, speak like that?”

Anger appeared on the face of Hyeongeom Jin-in, who had never shown any expression before.

He approached Hyeonso Jin-in.

“I am the last, and I can do anything for the revival of the mount hua sect.”

“What does that have to do with ruining my disciple?”

“Did I tell you? It’s for that kid. It’s good for the child that he doesn’t have futile dreams.”

“Sophistry.”

“Why is that sophistry? Don’t you know? It is difficult and time-consuming to learn martial arts. If it were so, why would Gyeongbokgung have made you follow the path of a scholar instead of teaching you martial arts?”

For a moment, Hyunso Jin-in’s face was distorted.

“Senior!”

“I still don’t understand the choices of Hyeoncheon Master. Why did he choose you to be his disciple, and why did he not give other talented disciples a chance? I really don’t understand!!.”

“that… … .”

Hyeongeom Jin-in’s face was burning hot. Seeing such a face, Hyeonso Jin-in closed his eyes.

‘Did the master still have a hold on you?’

That was more than forty years ago.

At that time, the selection of disciples by Cheongungja, the foremost expert of the Mount Hua sect and a famous swordsman in the world,  All of the disciples naturally wanted to become the disciples of Cheongungja.

At that time, the outstanding disciple was Hyeongeom Jin-in. Naturally, Hyeongeom Jin-in was confident that he would become a disciple of Chun-gungja.

However, it was Hyeonso Jin-in who was chosen by Chun-gung-ja, and instead of passing on the martial arts to the hard-chosen Hyeon-so Jin-in, he made him walk the path of a student.

It was an incident that inflicted indelible wounds on those who aspired to become the disciples of Chun-gung-ja, and the one who was most disappointed among them was Hyeongeom Jin-in.

‘If I had been taught by Cheongungja Sabaek, the mount hua sect would not have gone through such a difficult time now.’

Hyeongeom Jin-in Jin-in clenched his fist.

I had to come a long way to achieve what I am today. even though there was definitely a fast road ahead.

“I wanted to quickly show him that the world of Moorim is not a world easy enough for the lame to survive. So I took a slightly radical approach. I’m sorry about that. But even now, I do not regret that decision.”

Hyeonso Jinin’s heart was broken by Hyeongeom Jin-in’s steely look and tone of voice. Hyeonso Jinin’s red and bloodshot eyes were proof of that fact.

Hyeonso Jinin looked at Hyuncheon Jinin.

“What do you think, Jang Mun-in? Do you think the senior is correct?”

At the Hyun-so’s question, Hyeoncheon Jinin gently closed his eyes. Just by listening to both sides of the story, He could see how troublesome the situation was.

The Jangmunin of the Mount Hua sect should never make a decision that was biased toward one side. It was such a difficult situation.

Hyun-chun Jin-in asked Hyun-so Jin-in.

“Are you referring to the child you picked up five years ago?”

“That’s right. Didn’t the elder brother also allow the child to be brought in? Then, the child is also a proud member of the Volcano Sect, so is it so wrong for such a child to learn martial arts? Please tell me.”

“… … .”

Hyun-cheon Jin-in entered Django.

He realized that the moment of his choice had come.

The future of the mount hua sect depends on which side he takes now.

‘The mount hua I want is the perfect mount hua. A perfect sect that is not shaken by the wind.’

At that moment, Jin-in Hyeon-cheon made a decision.

“It was my mistake to accept that child five years ago. If the elder had not asked for that, I would never have accepted him as a disciple of the Mount Hua Sect.”

“Senior?”

Hyunso Jinin shouted in surprise. However, Jin-in Hyun-chun continued to speak without hesitation.

“On the day Damho awakened, I saw the revenge and life in his eyes. It was the kind of thing a child could never have.”

Hyeoncheon Jinin trembled slightly to see if the memory of that day was vividly revived.

The eyes of those who have killed people.

A twelve-year-old child had eyes that could kill as many people as needed.

“If that child learns proper martial arts, he will surely bring disaster to the mount hua sect.”

“What nonsense… … .”

“I support the decision of the elder Hyeongeom . So don’t ever mention this again, elder Hyeonso.”

“Jangmunin !”

“I have already made a decision. so you know.”

“How?”

“I don’t care if you take care of your disciple, but it is forbidden to pass on the martial arts of Mount Hua any more.”

A sound like lightning resounded in Hyeonso Jinin’s ears.

“Jangmunin !”

“It was a decision I made as the Jangmunin of Mount Hwa. I will not take it back.”

Hyeonso Jin-in sat down on the spot. His shoulders were convulsing.

Hyeon-geom Jin-in’s eyes were cold, and Hyun-cheon Jin-in’s eyes contained a pitiful light. But he had no intention of overturning his decision.

After a while, Hyunso Jin-in stood up with a reflection.

“Yes! I understand the decision of the Jangmunin.”

Hyeonso Jin-in had a face that suddenly became haggard from how much anguish he had been through in that short time.

He looked at the two.

“Cheonkyung will not give up like this. The child will later show how wrong the prejudices of the elders are.”

“I hope so.”

“Let the elder guide the boy well and make him a good student. It would be good for that child.”

Hyunso Jinin smiled sadly instead of answering.

He walked out of Chiwoon Palace. Hyeoncheon Jin-in and Hyun-geom Jin-in stared at his back.

Hyunso Jin-in’s new appearance looked dangerous, as if it would collapse at any moment. But he persevered.

He has a reason why he can never fall.

‘Damho, I will never give up on you.’
