Chapter 547 - Where is there only one road to the top of the mountain?
Yeongcheonju.
liquidation.
Yumyeongsan Mountain in Nakilhyeon.
Thunderbolt sect.
Early in the morning, an old man came out after opening the door of an inn run by the religious sect.
The goatee-bearded man was also heartbroken.
The reason why he stays in the Cheonroe sect is because he has no money even though he was invited by the Okcheong union.
Of course, money was a problem that could be solved if the Okcheong union decided.
However, the Okcheong union, which became interested in the Dharma device of Simtong, did not do so.
He was rather impatient because he couldn't keep his old sim close by.
In the end, the old sim ended up in a position where he had to worry about making money - just like Yeon Jeok-ha did.
A sigh flowed from his heart as he looked at Mt. Yumyeong covered in white snow.
"ha!"
Winter was a season of hardship that was hard to endure even for the green forests.
It would not be easy to make money normally in this cold weather.
I was in a hurry, but I didn't want to go down the mountain without a plan.
“Why are you sighing this morning?”
The old sim suddenly turned around at the sudden words.
The Okcheong labor union was standing there laughing when it came right behind them.
The old sim cleared his surprised chest and answered hastily.
“Ah, yes, it’s a little frustrating to think about when winter will end.”
“Oh, by the way, you said you had to find the party, didn’t you?”
"yes."
“Did you say Hansanju?”
“Yes, yes.”
At the recommendation of the Eighthwangsinmo, Shimtong planned to go to Hansanju.
So he said that the group went to Hansanju. Of course, the group is related.
“I don’t have any means of transportation in the winter, so maybe in the spring.”
“I think so too.”
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on the face of the Okcheong union.
“But you won’t be able to go to Hansanju after all.”
"yes? I can’t go to Hansanju?”
I looked at the Okcheong union with old sim and startled eyes.
Can't go to Hansanju?
Could it be that he intends to enslave himself to the Thunder Bell?
If he had intended to do so, he would have been bound to the Thunderbolt.
However, the words that followed surpassed the imagination of the old sim.
“Unfortunately, your lifespan is almost over. It won’t last through this winter.”
“Am I dying?”
Shim Tong could not believe the words of the Okcheong union.
But his expression was too serious to be a lie.
Besides, he had no reason to lie to himself like that.
“Do you know how old I am?”
“You look over a hundred years old, but… … . I do not know."
“Hehe, thank you for looking at me so young. I am seven hundred and thirty-two years old.”
“Chi, seven hundred?”
I glanced at the jade-cheong union with absurd eyes.
He looked like he was about 100 years old, but to be 700 and 32 years old was staggering.
No, than that, how can a person live that long?
“When you become a disciple of the sect, you enter the path of ‘refinement’. If you reach 10 stars in ‘Podium’, you become ‘Yeonheo’. Until ‘Yeonheo’, even if you are a disciple of a sect, the lifespan is the same as that of an ordinary human being. If you live to be 100 years old, you have enjoyed the life of a thousand.”
“If so, does lifespan increase if you reach a higher level?”
My old sim suddenly reminded me of the Eighthwangsinmo.
Is that the reason why the religious leader, whose dream is immortality, hangs himself in the ‘sky of kings’?
“It is not possible to attain the Dao overnight. It's not like you can get what you want. No, it is close to impossible to achieve the Tao with a human body in the first place. You need a much longer lifespan to attain the Way. The first step is ‘Wonyoung’. You can live to be 300 if you enter the stage of ‘Reverend Young’.”
"ah!"
An exclamation flowed from the old sim mouth.
Are you three hundred years old?
If I could live that long, I would have no wish.
“But ‘Wonyeong’ is only the first step on the path to seeking salvation. You can live nine hundred years if you reach the stage of ‘demonstration’ like me.”
“Nine hundred years?”
Shen Tong was more surprised to hear that Jade Qing Union had lived for nine hundred years than to say that he was in the realm of monopoly.
“Tsk! Surprisingly, only nine hundred years. The top of ‘Dokyo’ is ‘Sage’. If you become a ‘sage’, your lifespan will increase by a thousand years.”
“Did you say that a thousand years will add to nine hundred years now?”
“This person will froth when he hears the lifespan of the ‘fellow’. Above the ‘sage’ there is a ‘servant,’ and when you become a ‘servant,’ your lifespan increases by another 3,000 years. It can be said that you have to train to that extent to get closer to the Tao.”
“… … .”
Shen Tong looked at the Jade Qing union with an unrealistic face.
Being 300 years old is amazing enough, but 3,000 years!
“Foolish people say, 'If you wake up in the morning, you can die in the evening.' However, Tao is not something that can be learned overnight. It's just an illusion created by humans. Do you think ephemera can understand the laws of Mother Nature?”
Shaking my head.
Old sim shook his head with a bewildered face.
I heard that Confucius said something similar, but it seems that there was such a person in Kuju.
“Anyway, this is a long talk, but when you listen to ‘Dokyo’, you can see quite a few things with your own eyes. At this rate, you will be dead in three months.”
“Wait, three months? Your hair is turning black, so you're saying you only have three months to live?”
“Rarely, Banrohwandong came along, but it cannot exceed the set lifespan. Do you know if there are one or two people who have experienced half-life and died in the realm of ‘Yeonheo’?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Old sim shoulders drooped.
three months?
Far from looking for a jeokha, his eyes are dark as he thinks that he will die on Mt. Yumyeong like this.
On the one hand, he wanted to live an insanely long life.
In the meantime, I laughed at the Eighthwangsinmo, but now I know how you feel.
“Do you want to live?”
In an instant, the old sim ears flashed open.
do you want to live
sound natural.
“Yes, I want to live. No, save me. How can I buy more?”
"It's really hard, but it's easy."
“Difficult yet easy?”
Old sim stung his eyes.
The words, “Don’t make noise about dogs grazing grass,” rose to his throat.
“They say that when you reach the stage of ‘immortal youth,’ your lifespan automatically increases.”
"ah… … .”
Only then did Shimtong understand what the Okcheong union said.
But it was just an empty fire.
How could he, who knew nothing, reach the state of ‘Reverend Young’!
“Shinseon elder, can a guy like me reach the stage of ‘wonyoung’?”
“If you become a disciple of a sect, you will receive the secrets. Since you have almost reached ‘Yeonheo’, if you work hard, you will be able to become ‘Wonyeong’ as well. I honestly want you to rise to the level of ‘wonyoung’ and stay by my side for a long time.”
It was true.
The Okcheong union wanted to unravel the secret of 'Simtong' and his 'law technique'.
For that to happen, the old sim had to be alive.
“What must I do to become a disciple of the clan?”
“Originally, the sect only accepts as disciples those who have passed the ‘non-seung and sea’ before the age of twenty-five. But it's not necessarily the only way. There is only one road to the top of the mountain.”
“Is there another way?”
“From Inseon like me (人仙, the state of Dokyo), you can directly collect disciples regardless of age. Disciples who were taken in this way are called ‘foreign disciples. It must have been the name given to distinguish it from the disciples who passed through the ‘non-seung and sea’.”
"Ah! Then, are disciples who have passed the ‘passing the path of enlightenment’ called ‘inner gate disciples?”
Old sim eyes twinkled.
Even in Gangho, there were often munpa that discriminated and accepted disciples like that.
“Hehe, if you teach one, you’re the kind of person who understands two. That's right. ‘Inner door disciples’ are more treated than ‘outer door disciples’, but there is no doubt that ‘outer door disciples’ are also secular disciples. If you become my disciple, I will teach you the martial arts. How is it?”
Old sim hesitated for a moment.
It was because he had regarded Yeonjeokha as his teacher until now.
But if you die, it's no use. If you know your situation, you will understand.
“Yes, I will become the disciple of the old man.”
“Hehe, fresh old man. Bow to me three times, and call me Master from now on.”
Shen Tong bowed three times to Yucheng Union on the spot, and he became his disciple.
contract holder.
Joyful nature.
Sanyin County Hyeoncheon Gate.
His eyes fell for seven days.
Mountains and cities were all covered in white snow.
Still, the streets were clean as usual.
It's thanks to people sweeping their eyes.
Of course, the reason the alley was cleared of snow was so that the vigilantes could move quickly.
The streets were cleared, but few people came and went.
This is because no one went out of the house due to the biting cold.
He refrained from going out unless absolutely necessary.
After lying around in his room since morning, he went out to the gymnasium when his body was itchy.
People's footprints are dizzyingly stamped on the hard compacted snow.
It seems that there were people who practiced even in this cold.
He picked up one of his swords from the weapon stand and slowly unleashed the nine thousand three laws and nine thousand nine swords.
Maybe it's been about a meal (about 30 minutes)?
The quiet Hyeoncheonmun suddenly became noisy.
Soon after, Gong Ji-seop, whose upper body was stained with blood, hurriedly ran to the gymnasium.
“jeokha!”
"yes?"
“Help! Jiyuga, Jiyuga... … .”
“Why Gong Sojeo?”
“While dealing with the red-eye golden pig with the vigilantes… … . I was caught by him.”
“Is it safe?”
“Yes, it is a ‘gold grade’ beast. He's more like a monster than a beast. He is a pig with red eyes and a body that shines gold, and he likes to snatch women.”
“So, is this the one where the ‘Geumgeuk’ beast took the ball?”
“Yes, yes… … .”
When Yeon Jeok-ha asked as if to confirm, Gong Ji-seop quietly lowered his eyes.
This is because the 'Gold level' beast is a monster that is difficult to deal with even under the age of enemies.
Nevertheless, the reason he came to him was because he had no one else to complain to.
Rumors that he expelled a demon with a single eye from Mt. Worak also played a role.
'Hmm... … .’
Yeonjeokha frowned.
If he didn't know anything about the Savior like before, he might have gone out of his way.
But now it is different.
I've learned almost everything in the last two months or so.
‘Wait, I heard that only Wonyoung’s masters can deal with beasts of the gold class… ….’
Of course, I was not afraid because I had fought a one-eyed demon known as a monster.
But there are conflicts in the fight.
He might have been like that with his own dog-eye and ear-ma.
When people say, 'Only Wonyoung's masters can deal with', there must be a reason for that.
'If there's even a monster sound... … .’
It is said that you should not think lightly of 'money pay'.
When Yeon Jeok-ha's answer was delayed, Gong Ji-seop lowered his head.
He knew what an outrageous request it was to ask him to save his brother.
“… … Can't you?”
Gong Ji-seop did not cling to Yeonjeok-ha.
In fact, it was too selfish a request to save a younger brother from a beast that even a disciple of the clan avoids.
After thinking for a while, he put the sword he was holding on the weapon stand and turned around.
“Isn’t the red-eye gold a pig? Why did you capture the woman?”
Gong Ji-seop gritted his teeth and replied.
“I heard that it turns into a human body to satisfy his greed, and eventually catches and eats it.”
what? Satisfy your greed and eat it?
It is a mountain beyond a mountain.
Why did the Creator God create the world like this?
Not only did he not like the hideous red-eye gold that he was dating, but even the creator god didn't like it.
“Do you know where that piglet went?”
“There is Garisan outside the east gate. I saw you going there.”
Gong Ji-seop glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.
At that time, Yeon Jeok-ha approached Gong Ji-seop and wrapped one hand around his waist.
"I'm a bit blind. I would like some directions to Garisan, please.”
As soon as Gong Ji-seop answered ‘yes’, he kicked off the ground and flew up.
“Ahhh-.”
Suddenly, his body soared upwards five feet (about 15 meters), and Gong Ji-seop screamed involuntarily.
