Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 64

< Episode 63 >

Mu Yeong-gaek was a man of positional power.

He was originally born in a village in Sacheon, where almost everyone had the uncommon surname Dang. Then, when he was just ten years old, an unknown plague broke out in the village.

Countless people groaned and died.

Even though it was not a bad harvest, many people died one after another with their skin and bones drying out. It was a terrible devastation.

In particular, young children died without even having a chance to use medicine. Was it because the body was less ripe?

In the midst of all this, there was a lone boy who was fine. It’s bound to stand out. Why is it so okay?

The common people who have not learned properly are weak to superstitions. This is especially true when your life is completely shaken by factors such as a natural disaster. Isn’t that why a group of insensitive cults gain power when there is a bad harvest or famine?

People began to view the boy as ominous. The climax comes after the boy’s parents die. Even though he was so close to seeing his parents suffering from the plague, he was still fine.

‘It must be the child of an evil spirit…!’

I don’t know whose mouth the words came from, but they immediately seemed like the truth. The argument gained strength that the reason the boy did not get the plague was because he was loved by the evil spirit, and that it was also because of the boy that the evil spirit came to the village.

The child of the evil spirit must be kicked out of the village because if you kill it, you can incur the evil spirit’s wrath again. The ignorant villagers cursed and cursed the innocent boy, and even burned down the house he lived in. They said it was a work for purification.

If you think about it, it made no sense.

Haven’t the villagers watched the boy grow up since his birth? The boy’s parents were not ghosts, but ordinary people who died from the plague like them. However, as they lost their precious things due to the plague, they were unable to make rational decisions.

The boy had to be the child of an evil spirit. By the villagers who cannot bear the miserable reality without blaming someone.

The boy, who had lost his home, lived in hiding in Gwanjemyo, located a short distance from the entrance of the village.

To ward off evil spirits, sacrifices were often made to all kinds of gods, including Taoist Wonsincheonjon. Various foods were also offered to Guan Yu’s shrine.

The boy barely survived by eating them.

Even while the boy was in hiding, the plague in the village did not stop. The ineffective ritual was eventually stopped, and the boy had no choice but to starve. One day, two days…

But the hunger did not last long. On the third day. Even the few villagers left vomited blood and died. The boy searched the houses of people who had criticized him as a child of plague and cooked food for them.

After eating my fill, I came out and there were a lot of men I had never seen before. They were checking the bodies of the dead villagers and writing something down, and the boy somehow seemed to know whose fault it was that the village had become like this.

Among them, a man wearing unique clothes approached the boy.

‘I got one. ‘I never thought I’d find a guy with German qualities in a rural corner like this.’

With an unknown story, the man placed his hand as if stroking the boy’s head, and the boy lost consciousness.

When the boy opened his eyes again, it was a completely new place.

It was called the Saldokwolyeongmun (殺毒月影門). They are the worst killer group in Moorim.

There, the boy was forced to learn how to kill people.

How to walk without warning, memorized throwing techniques such as blades and shuriken, how to strike a person so that they can inflict fatal wounds at once, and various types of dragon poison techniques…

If you don’t learn it, you will die.

Saldokwol Yeongmun was that kind of place. They forcibly bring in talented children from all over the world, teach them martial arts, and raise them as assassins. The children are trained as assassins until they meet the terms and conditions, and then they begin contracting, and at this time, they take a hit.

The purpose of dogmatism was obvious. This was to prepare for the case in which assassins who left Saldokwol Yeongmun after receiving a contract ran away. If they did not take the herbal medicine at certain intervals, those who consumed poison would feel the pain of their heads breaking, cry out, and eventually die.

Murderers who kill others to survive themselves.

Most people who belonged to the Saldokwol Yeongmun group were destined to end their lives without being able to escape from such shackles. Either the contract fails or you die because of your arbitrariness.

However, there were often people who escaped the bondage.

Saldogwolyeongmun had people called the Five Great Salsu under Munju. Because it had been passed down from generation to generation, there was no use of dogma, and the five most outstanding among the masters were the five masters, and these five masters received a complete waiver from the master of dogma and were treated as if they were elders of the sect. They became free from murder, and great wealth and power followed.

Money, women, military service… you could have anything you wanted.

In order to become one of the Five Masters, the only way to do so was to solve a large number of difficult contracts and receive recognition for one’s achievements, or to kill one of the existing Five Masters and take his place.

After the boy learned that fact, he set a goal. Someday, I will definitely become a master of the five generations.

It was not for wealth or power.

After gaining freedom from dogma, I was going to get rid of this damned scum once and for all.

Because I knew that it was the poison spread by Saldokwol Yeongmun that destroyed my simple but happy hometown. It’s not because of the plague.

The boy was talented.

He went through a lot of training, and when he grew up, he went on a killing spree and gained experience. He met all kinds of unrelated people. As a boy, or rather as a young man now, he had to overcome the danger of his death several times. There were also figures from the old faction and famous martial arts families. Whether they were guilty or not, it didn’t matter.

Sacrifice is required for the greater good…!

He used every means at his disposal to target his opponent. My understanding of memorization and poison deepened day by day. Eventually, he came to establish his own martial arts based on the martial arts he learned from Saldokwolyeongmun. In the meantime, he again gained enlightenment and reached the realm of peace. It was a level where he had accumulated countless experiences fighting for his life and death.

What was created at that time was Mancheonhwawoo. A storm of memorization.

Even the masters who were said to have reached a state of unrivaled heights had no choice but to die as their whole bodies were destroyed in front of Mancheonhwawoo.

From some time ago, he was called by the nickname Muyeonggaek. Known as the most terrifying assassin in the world.

It wasn’t just cancer technology that made progress. Muyeonggaek also achieves great achievements in poisoning, but surprisingly, he ends up deciphering the doctrine created by Saldokwolyeongmun’s vision on his own. You are completely free from restrictions.

What happened next was obvious.

Muyeonggaek killed the five major assassins of Saldokwolyeongmun one after another. There was no one who could withstand the flood of rain. Even though there were three of them who reached the world of peace.

Munju of Saldokwolyeongmun was also a strong man who reached Hwagyeong, but he could not overcome Muyeonggaek. Munju could not believe his defeat until the moment of his death. The stupid little worm that I picked up from a small village became a great tiger and I cut off his leash.

‘Save me. I will give you everything I have achieved.’

At the last moment, Moon-ju made a suggestion with his eyes shining brightly, but it didn’t have any effect on Mu-yeong-gaek. It doesn’t shake at all. His long life as a soldier made him like that. He said he should never leave behind any regrets.

Mu Young-gaek, who resolutely cut off Munju’s lifeline, did not bother to do anything to the other assassins. After all, they will die by their own will over time. I didn’t feel sorry for it. Haven’t they also made a living by killing others?

In this way, Saldokwolyeongmun became extinct.

And when the news spread, Murim was shocked.

Saldokwolyeongmun is a Salmun that has existed for a long time and ranks first among Sado Bangpa. Their power was so strong that even though they were clearly aware of the atrocities of buying and selling people’s lives for money, they could not hastily step forward in any of the nine or five major factions.

Since such a place fell into disarray, or even completely disappeared, without the intervention of any significant force, it was bound to be controversial. It was only later that it was revealed that it was the work of Muyeonggaek, either by luck or by a few people from Saldokwolyeongmun who survived by not eating the poison.

The world was shocked, and there were many people who tried to trace Mu Young-gaek’s whereabouts, but strangely enough, Mu Young-gaek’s whereabouts remained unclear after that.

And how many years have passed?

Just as the name Muyeonggaek was fading from people’s minds, a wealthy couple built a manor in Chengdu, Sichuan. Leading dozens of people who appeared to be servants or vassals.

Sichuan Tang family (Sichuan Tang family)

It was a simple name. However, what was strange was that everyone belonging to that family used the Tang clan surname as if it were a clan village. It didn’t seem like they were related by blood, but I couldn’t figure out what the story was. Also, when the children they gave birth to married, both husband and wife had to live within the Tang family and use the Tang family name.

At first, they thought it was strange, but as time passed, people in Sichuan began to understand that Tang family people were always like that. In addition, the Tang family increased its power by carrying out various businesses in Chengdu and other places in Sichuan, and unlike the general martial arts family, whenever an armed conflict occurred, it used memorization and poison.

At first, the Jeongdo shamans criticized the Tang family and defined it as a sect, but instead, the Tang family suppressed them by force and declared themselves a political faction.

The nine sects of the mountain monasteries and Buddhist gates welcomed them with open arms.

There is no reason for a family with overwhelming military power to refuse when they say they will do the right thing. Although it uses poison and memorization, the important thing is not martial arts.

Because it was Hyeop (快).

With the recognition of various forces,

Sacheondangga came to be called the best Sacheonga among the five generations.

“So that’s what happened.”

Yeon Myeong nodded after hearing from his mother the story of a person who could be the founder of the Tang family. I had that thought one day when I was learning home appliance skills at a competition. In some way, I wonder if there was someone among the ancestors of the family who learned martial arts. If you look at things like the secret meditation or the light attack, the movement itself was very secretive. There were many things that were specialized for memorization and raids.

Dang Ji-hye said.

“The martial arts that are exclusively for the head of the family, including Mancheonhwawoo, are all the martial arts of the martial arts spirit. Only one mind method is allowed to those who are not the head of the family, and that is the Dokyoucheonggwangsimbeop that you learned.”

“…I see.”

It occurred to me that I finally know the cost. As soon as I mastered the Dokyoucheonggwangsimbeop and experienced its supernormal abilities, I had doubts. Why is this level of martial arts only the basics of home appliances? Perhaps Muyeonggaek placed more importance on the Dokyocheonggwangsim method than other martial arts scholars. The fact that there are so many people who are familiar with the basic mind method means that at least the risk of it being put into practice will be greatly reduced.

I also understood that Lungmaeunchwi was a martial art exclusively for Gaju. Since Mu Young-gaek was a former assassin, he must have reached the point where he could hide his presence or accomplishments to distract people. It is said that his German-style martial arts skills became martial arts exclusively for the family, so he must have used techniques such as extracting lung veins.

“…And the reason the mother tells you to learn how to extract the lung pulse is not simply to hide your accomplishments.”

Tang Ji-hye’s words were meaningful. So does that mean there is another supernormal ability?
