How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ I know you stole the gold nugget. Will you admit it or die?”

“Grrr. Whoops. Shut it off.”

“Are you going to admit it or die?”

“Hey, Dangdaehyeop. I’m sorry, but he doesn’t seem to be able to talk right now.”

“Don’t worry. Even if you look like that, you can talk.”

Guo Seon desperately blinked his eyes. Whoever saw it, I could feel the meaning of ‘I will admit it’. Dang Deng said triumphantly.

“Look! won’t you tell me?”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyeok made a firm resolution that he would really stop mingling with the people in the party after this work was over.

Suddenly, the surroundings became cold, and the lights in Gwak Seon’s room went out all at once. A voice that seemed to be coming from afar or from close by spread throughout the room.

“Why are you torturing him?”

“Cheong Heo Jin-in, are you here?”

Dangdeung threw the gwakseon on the floor and politely bowed. Yeon Woo-hyeok was puzzled and asked.

“How did you know?”

“I sent a servant on the way here. I found the gold thief.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok was worried about whether he should be impressed or amazed by Dang-deung, who had no idea that he was wrong.

“Are you a gold thief?”

“So listen. This guy…”

Dangdeung confided the inside story that Yeon Woo-hyeok explained. Gwak Seon, who was spread out on the floor, was frightened and only rolled his eyes.

‘How the hell…!?’

To be so precise about secret circumstances that no one knows. I couldn’t believe it.

“indeed. Was it like that?”

“The two lords fought like that because of this guy.”

“Maybe. However, the reason the two continued to fight after that was because anger and jealousy were in their hearts. If it hadn’t been for that, I would have understood even if the gold nugget had disappeared.”

“Where is a guy who doesn’t have such a thing in Gangho, Cheonji? Anyway, since I have reconciled the two Gukju, please spare this young man. He is a man of extraordinary talent.”

Dangdeung grabbed Yeon Woo-hyuk by the shoulders and pushed him forward.

“This thing was actually figured out by this guy. He’s a magical guy, like he’s casting a ghost.”

“Making a ghost isn’t as convenient as you think. The gathering and dispersing of qi is a ghost, and the bending and blooming of yin and yang is a ghost. When a person dies, the soul and the bag are separated and disappear, so how can a ghost do something a long time ago…”

“…There is also a spiritual eye.”

“Spiritual eyes aren’t as convenient as you think. It’s just a closer look at things. The reason why this young Fodu is able to tell the inside story is because he can think deeply based on what he has seen closely. It should be seen as human effort, not supernatural power.”

“Can’t you just save me?”

When Dangdeung was annoyed, Yeon Woo-hyeok fell in love with the guru who did not even know his face. Maybe it was the shaman who could subdue the Sichuan Dangmun in Gangho.

Podu Yeon Woo-hyeok (3)

Despite the annoyance of Dangdeung, who was a lower distribution than himself, Cheongheojin did not get angry.

“If I am not a Taoist, how can I save people? Magic is not as convenient as you think.”

“Ugh.”

Dangdeung closed his eyes tightly.

There were several schools that succeeded the advancement of Taoism, but among them, Shaman’s Taoists were the most distinctive.

These masters had a habit of making their words more complex and puzzling as they got older, which made the listener’s clothes explode.

Dang and others thought that this was probably why the warriors of the blood religion or demonic religion were afraid of the shaman’s masters.

How could I not be afraid when my clothes would explode before I could mix my swords?

“Cheong Heo Jin-in… You promised, right? I gritted my teeth and used my hands ferociously to keep my promise.”

‘and. You’re so shameless.’

Even though Yeon Woo-hyuk was on his side, he almost admired it for a moment.

Whoever saw it, I used my hands while enjoying it!

“Calm down. party agreement. I am fine.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok soothed the party. As long as the opponent was stronger than Dangdeung and the distribution was high, there was no way to do it on this side when it came out like that.

Rather than using force for nothing, it was right to have a polite appearance.

From noble mtl dot com

“If you don’t keep your promise, I won’t believe what the shaman’s guru says, even if the sun rises in the east.”

“If you do, you will only lose your trusty masters. What will be different for me?”

“Such a dog…”

Yeon Woo-hyuk hurriedly pulled the sleeves of his lantern.

Cheongheojinin continued talking as if nothing was wrong.

“Do you know about the three timeworms?”

“Jinin talks about it whenever he has a chance, don’t you know?”

“I know, but knowing really means something else. The trinity is…”

As the master’s relaxed voice began to explain, Dang Deng covered his ears in disgust.

Three Shichung (Three Shichung) are insects from Taoism that stay in the lower half, lower half, and upper half, respectively, to control human desires and confess sins to the emperor.

Therefore, Dangdeung must calm anger, reduce bad karma, and accumulate good karma in order to reach the true state…

“Please stop. No, what kind of nonsense is it that you can reach the high level of martial arts only by accumulating good karma? Then, how do masters of the Demonic Cult come out and how do masters of the Blood Cult come out?”

“So, is the Demonic Cult ruling the world now? Does blood ties rule the world?”

The face of the unbearable Dangdeung turned red. Cheongheojin didn’t care and continued talking.

“All I promised you was to meet that young Fodu. And in fact, even if you hadn’t worked this out, I would have met you. It’s because we’ve been in a relationship.”

“Then why did you entrust me with this mediation?”

“Isn’t it good to build good karma?”

The sound of grinding teeth came out of Dangdeung’s mouth.

“Good job. Can we go out for a minute so we can talk now?”

“yes. yes. Do not ask me for any favors in the future!”

When Dang Deng took the fallen Guo Xian out, Ahn suddenly became quiet. Only Cheongheojin’s voice remained like an echo.

“You must be wondering what it means to have a connection.”

“ah. yes.”

“You are talking about Dampung Lake. He was once a disciple of a shaman.”

“!”

When the name of the third party guest came out, Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised.

Well, when I thought about it, the three pilgrims didn’t even know how to use magic, but they knew a lot about magic and spiritual skills. I guessed that he wasn’t from a normal background.

“I heard it for the first time. Why is it unknown?”

“You know how to solve problems a thousand miles away, but you ask the obvious. You don’t want to know about it, and the shaman doesn’t want to know about it either, right?”

‘hmm. I can understand the feelings of the Dangdeung grand agreement.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk quickly missed Dangdeung. You can just say you don’t want to talk about it. What are you saying so annoyingly?

“I’m sorry, but just as Dampungho couldn’t solve it, there’s no way for me to solve the open Sangdanjeon.”

“Mmm.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk let out a quiet voice.

I was prepared, but it was not a pleasant story to hear. A guru of the level of Cheongheojin would say something like that.

“There is only one way. It is to raise the level of martial arts and harmonize. Do you know what the state of transcendence is?”

“You can’t even call yourself first-class yet, so how can you know that?”

“The state of transcendence is the state of opening the upper stage.”

“!”

Up to the first-class level, you learn martial arts by accumulating inner strength in the lower half, and from the peak level, build up inner strength in the middle ground to change your body to suit your will, and finally challenge the level of transcendence by tapping the upper level.

“Have you ever seen a technique similar to a sword with a sword?”

“ah. there is.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk recalled the sword the bachelor had shot. Cheong Heo-jin explained as if it went well.

“It should be easy to understand. Even though a warrior who has reached the state of transcendence has not learned how to use magic, the reason why he can use a sword is because he has opened a high-ranking battle. In other words, if you put it another way, the lower half and the lower half have to support that much…”

“…You mean your body can hold on even with the upper deck open. Will I be able to reach the heights of transcendence?”

“well. It won’t be easy. There won’t be even five such masters in Moorim right now.”

“……”

“Stop talking about such unknown things. The reason I wanted to meet you wasn’t just because I had a relationship with Dampung Lake. Do you know why a person with an open top tier dies soon?”

“Well, since it’s difficult for people with open upper ceremonies to control themselves, I wonder if they end up wasting their seoncheonjingi and weakening their energy.”

“Right. You saw it correctly.”

As much as he had continued to use his supernatural powers, Yeon Woo-hyeok felt it to some extent.

If you misuse your supernatural power, your life force could be sucked out in an instant.

“The reason you are still alive is because you have very good control over your supernatural powers and at the same time you are full of aura. If either of them hadn’t been there, they’d already be skin-to-bone.”

The Spiritual Eye was the most stable and least energy-consuming ability among magical powers.

And Yeon Woo-hyeok had the quality of being very full of spirit. It could be said to be an extremely rare quality such as Murim’s veins or delay.

Thanks to these two things, Yeon Woo-hyeok was holding on very well for a person who had an upper stage war.

“No, I was surprised. I thought my life was in danger because of the spiritual energy accumulated in me.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised. Honestly, I thought it was because of the spirit, so there were times when I regretted ‘why did I accumulate so much ignorance’.

“That is not a false story either. The more spiritual energy is filled, the more magical powers are generated, and these magical powers become more difficult to control. Not all other magical powers listen to their masters as meekly as the Spiritual Eye.”

“……”

The upper level battle is open, but if there is not enough spiritual energy, it will be depleted in an instant and die.

The upper level battle is open, but if you have a lot of spiritual energy, you will die after enduring.

Basically, as long as the top division was open, it was the difference between early and late. It was as if a tough life was predestined.

“If you want to buy time, you have to control and rule these supernatural powers so that they don’t come on their own. And I want to teach you that, so I called it like this.”

“…!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised by Cheong Heo-jin’s words.

I really wanted to, but I thought you would teach me.

“But isn’t the shaman’s vision what you are trying to teach me now?”

“I guess you can do that.”

“Can I learn? Wouldn’t it cause problems if other shamans found out later?”

“Is there anyone other than you who learns this? It doesn’t matter.”

‘I think it has something to do with it…’

Yeon Woo-hyuk vowed to be as careful as possible in front of the shaman master no matter what he learns.

“Indeed, I can say that you have taken the most difficult first step.”

“yes? What are you talking about…”

“Accumulating good karma and making spiritual qi pure!”

The Hyeoncheong Byuksa Shin-gong (玄靑辟邪神功) that Cheongheo-Jinin is teaching now wasn’t a very popular simbeop, considering it was named Shin-gong.

Surprisingly, this simbeop was not a simbeop to build internal energy.

For those who had an upper level war, supernatural power was not a choice but a compulsion. Just as a person with a divine spirit is forced to see ghosts, a person with an open top hall was forced to use magical powers.

However, if the person had a strong will and good spiritual energy, it was possible to sublimate it into a magic technique by pushing away the supernatural power.

That was the Hyeoncheong Byeoksa Singong. A method of strengthening the energy of the whole body so that there is no external invasion. And in order to learn this mental method, it was necessary to have spiritual energy accumulated through good karma.

“You haven’t accumulated a single bad karma while working as a podu. He always cared for his people and resolved their grievances. That behavior has resulted in this.”

“Gam, thank you.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk thought it was fortunate that all the sappy things he had done were not caught.

It seemed that they were being evaluated like that because they were pure spirits obtained by solving problems.

“Even shaman masters cannot accumulate good karma like you. I’m sure you’ve been building sincere good karma since you were little…”

Respect was felt in Cheongheojin’s voice. Yeon Woo-hyuk didn’t say anything and just stayed still.

“Criminals say what the worldly way means, but what about it? If you hadn’t accumulated good karma, how could you have mastered this mental method?”

“You are indeed right.”

Excited, Cheongheojin people started talking about good and bad karma, internal sacrifice and training. He was happy to meet a righteous man who would be respected in Moorim after a long time.

It wasn’t until after an hour or so that Yeon Woo-hyeok started learning about the Hyeoncheong Byeoksa New Technique.

***

three days after that.

Dang Deng felt that the spirit of Qing Heo Jin had disappeared in Guo Xian’s mansion.

“Are you gone?”
