Episode 5. I’m not the person you knew.
A guy whose name I couldn’t remember came up to me with a mean look on his face and had bad breath.
“Don’t even think about getting drooled on by Chaehyang. Because it makes me feel dirty too. If you really end up messing around with Chae-hyang, Chae-hyang will have to retire here. Do you understand me? “f*ck you Zaha.”
I tilted my head.
“What was your name when you had no presence at all? “It’s a long shot.”
To be honest, I couldn’t remember his name because he was no better than a passerby.
“what?”
My hand flew out and hit the guy’s face as he panicked. The guy fell backwards with a loud sound.
Did I hit it too hard?
I felt strange due to the unexpected feeling of hitting, so I looked at my hands.
It’s normal for there to be no internal energy, but the taste of the fist was quite strong.
Now that I think about it, the feeling of Danjeon is also strange. I hadn’t even had my first breakfast yet, and my Danjeon was buzzing. We’ll check this in detail later, but for now… … .
As soon as the guy who got hit got up, he ran towards me while swearing.
“이 개새끼가!”
If you curse as if you were shouting out a special move when attacking, the gap will become too large.
After throwing away a sloppy punch from the guy who was rushing towards me, I hit him on the back of the head.
Sigh!
This time, the guy fell forward.
“Our dry goods store young man, what was his name?”
When I kicked the guy in the face as he tried to get up, he rolled to the side.
‘Oh no, I’m dying. ‘You should stop hitting me.’
But I could have done more to raise the medicine. Perhaps because he felt unfairly beaten by the local Jeomsoy, he never opened his mouth.
“Are you unfair? “It must be unfair to be beaten by Jeomsoy.”
But what… … .
You’ll be lucky if you don’t die here by my hand.
I grabbed the guy’s hair and pulled it, then made eye contact.
“hey.”
Have my eyes, which were trained as I grew up in Gangho, returned to the past, or are they just the kind eyes of an ordinary Jeomsoi now?
Emotions are contained in the eyes.
For a moment, I looked at the guy’s face with the intention of crushing it, but only then did the guy’s expression flinch.
I asked again.
“What is your name?”
“Why is my name suddenly changed?”
“Just answer the question.”
When my hand went up again, the answer came.
“It’s Myeong-gon.”
“Oh, I remember. f*ck you, Myunggon. Why do you put f*ck in front of your name? Why are you doing this? “Sing it again.”
“Jaha.”
“again.”
“Jaha.”
Only then did I let down my hair.
“Just call me by name. Don’t put yourself in front of bullshit. “If you don’t want to be left behind.”
If your eyes soften after this kind of warm beating and admonition, you are not a young man from Ilyang County.
Myeong-Gon stood up steadily, his eyes still full of venom, and let out a long breath.
“Whoa… … .”
I gave Myeonggon one more chance.
“If you feel unfair, you have to attack again.”
Myeong-gon nodded and rushed right in.
‘As expected, he is a young man from my hometown.’
This time my fist went out too.
There are no special feelings.
Because I am also a young person from my hometown.
Myeong-gon seemed to prefer being beaten and fainted rather than being hit clumsily by Jeom-soy. That way, you will feel different when you wake up. Knowing that what could have been death ended in fainting.
A straight hit that follows from a simple evasion that has no footwork.
puck!
Myeong-Gon, who had rushed in, was struck squarely with his fist and immediately stretched backwards and fainted.
I said, shaking Myeonggon for a moment.
“Myeonggon?”
“… … .”
There was no answer, but he was breathing. She looked at Myeonggon’s chest, which was shaking in a daze, and then started walking.
“tight.”
This thought occurred to me as I was returning to my guesthouse.
Even if I return to the past, there is absolutely no possibility that my humanity will return to the time when I was Jeomsoi.
I returned to my room muttering, ‘I am not the person you knew.’
By the way, the power outage was definitely strange.
Having a premonition of something, I organized the chairs and tables in the guesthouse, moved them inside, and temporarily put up a sign saying the business was closed.
In these times, the answer was not to do business.

In the days of Jeomsoy, it was normal not to have any internal skills.
However, I had the feeling that a considerable amount of internal energy was sleeping in the Danjeon.
Strangely, he was not in the same condition as an active-duty soldier who had jumped into battle, but was in the same state as a trainee still waiting at the base. This feeling was similar to the feeling he had when he took the elixir. In the end, it is as if you can only accumulate the power of the elixir by eating fortune energy.
Anyway, there were actually a lot of troops on standby.
Why on earth would you do this?
After returning to Jaha Gaekjan’s alcove, I sat cross-legged and pondered over this problem.
The method of checking internal strength is relatively simple.
I just need to get back into the Geumgu Soyogong that I learned.
Geumgu Soyogong is a unique martial art that is difficult to find similar to even in the vast world of martial arts.
From the name of the martial artist, it contains the crazy meaning of a steel turtle that has achieved the sword-invulnerability (刀劍不侵) and roams around as it pleases.
In the beginning, it is similar to magic, so achievements are quick.
In the middle, it is similar to King Jeongjong’s martial arts, so achievement is slow.
Ultimately, it becomes extremely difficult to pursue the Buddha’s Diamond Buddha.
Therefore, conquering the final stage, which can be said to be the final chapter, is an extremely difficult martial art, like the enlightenment of Buddhism.
After a while, the inner energy that had been gently swaying began to stir, and the true energy began to flow through the blood vessels.
There are two main streets where Jinki wanders. The vital energy that starts from the anus, travels up the spine, climbs to the top of the head, and reaches the lips is the poisonous energy, and the positive energy that starts again from the lips passes through the chest, abdomen, and navel, stimulates the lower abdomen, and then arrives at the anus again. .
Just as there are different ways to climb mountains, each sect has different ways of conquering this path.
It is for this reason that the laws of inner gongsim are different for each sect.
What they have in common is that no matter what school of thought it is, it is difficult to stop the journey once it has started. It’s like forcibly stopping food from passing down the esophagus, so it’s the perfect action to get stabbed.
Fortunately, there were few customers in our guesthouse to begin with, and no one came to visit us because we had put up a sign saying we were closed.
I have experienced that if the digestion of food goes wrong, you end up feeling sick, but if the flow of true energy goes wrong, your body gets hit to the point where it breaks down.
Even before I could solve the question about the internal energy in the Danjeon, I opened my eyes having completely completed the Iljucheon, which corresponds to the Mokgye (wooden sphere), the first stage of Geumgu Soyogong.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the monkey that sits in meditation without eating or holding in poop is also me.
The feeling was very strange and strange. But as soon as I realized there were no side effects, a pleasant shiver ran down my spine.
I summarized the situation like this.
First, before I fell off the cliff, my strength increased dramatically because of Heavenly Ok.
Second, while my inner energy was improving, I clearly felt that the state of my dantian was forcibly divided into yin and yang.
Third, I was returned to the past by an unidentified man.
Fourth, because I returned to the past, the spirit of Heavenly Ok that was attached to my body would have been humbled, or if it were alive at this point, it would have returned to its original body as it should.
Fifth, the unidentified spiritual power that was originally contained in Heavenly Jade has returned with me.
… … This is my conclusion.
In the first place, it is unlikely that the religious leader wanted to eat the heavenly prison by coveting the ‘soul’ of others. Kanghoin creates these things solely to become stronger in martial arts.
So what is the final conclusion?
I had ingested Heavenly Jade, which completely eliminated the side effect of soullessness.
Even though I returned to the past.
Just as I returned with my memories intact, the spiritual power that had been in heaven returned with me intact.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to break through the first level of Golden Gu Shaoyogong in one go.
Of course, not all questions were resolved.
This is because there was an unfounded premonition that it was not just a simple internal attack.
The man’s words came to mind again.
“It is the best choice I can give you, and it will be the best gift.”
then… … .
The best option is regression.
The best gift is heaven.
Only when interpreted in this way will the front and back fit together clearly. However, there were still challenges to be solved in the future.
For some reason, about half of the potential power did not react at all to the metal ball.
I rested my chin and was lost in thought.
‘Why aren’t half of them reacting?’
After much thought, I came to a simple conclusion.
Since this was clearly the power left behind by Cheonok, the power that could be called ‘potential’ would also be divided into yin and yang.
Originally, Geumgu Soyogong was a martial art that purely utilized the internal energy of Geukyang. It was natural that the inner energy, which can be defined as extreme sound, could not be utilized smoothly.
In that case, you must obtain new skills that will allow you to utilize the inner energy of extreme yin in the future.
There is quite a bit of attractive work left to do.
The foundation for using extremely positive martial arts and extremely negative martial arts at the same time was prepared. Since I wasn’t the type to worry for a long time to begin with, I ended my worries at this point.
Anyway, I couldn’t help but feel so good. It’s almost as if I’ve forgotten that I used to be crazy. It seems that people inevitably feel satisfied only when the conditions are met.
“Hehehe… … .”
In fact, internal strength is not everything about martial arts.
Skill, psychological warfare, innate intelligence, fighting instinct, and luck combine to determine the battles of top-ranking experts.
However, what is important from beginning to end is internal strength. Although I had potential, I had returned to having enough of it. There was a value latent in my body that could not be expressed in money in the human world.
I have no opponents in my hometown just by breaking through the first stage of the Golden Ball Soyogong.
To be honest, I felt full even without eating, but in reality, I was very hungry.
Growling… … .
You can’t starve to death.
Moreover, in order to beat up the guys in Maehwaru, I needed to eat a lot.
* * *
In the kitchen, I poured the side dishes into a large pot, added cold rice and seasonings, and mixed them thoroughly.
After mixing it back and forth, the bibimbap was completed.
Although it looked similar to dog food, it tasted good.
Because I didn’t like throwing away side dishes, I always prepared meals this way.
The bibimbap I made with leftover side dishes from a guesthouse after a long time was truly a delicacy.
I sometimes grinned as I savored the memories.
Since I live alone, I thought that it would be difficult to live sanely in this life.
But this is also okay.
I used to be crazy, so I was very used to this kind of loneliness.
What was much more important was that my future enemies would be driven completely crazy.
While eating bibimbap, I couldn’t help but think of the powerful people of the era.
If I were to make a direct comparison with the Jungwon martial arts people, I come from a humble background. There were so many masters in the Gangho that even when they had mastered martial arts to a certain degree, it was common for them to run away during competition.
Because of that, I developed my light attack skills for survival more quickly than my martial arts skills.
As I thought about them, my jaw tightened as I chewed my food.
After eating bibimbap, we took out the alcohol that was supposed to be sold to the guests and drank it freely.
“Omg… … . Feel so good.”
Overspending is always exciting.
It was a great evening in its own way.
I filled a gourd with alcohol in my hand, put the scythe I used to cut the grass around the guesthouse on my back, and left the guesthouse.
Because his stomach was strong, he was confident that he could kill all the men in Ilyang County if they attacked him at once.
I was planning to go to a place where jokes were replaced with seriousness and say something serious that was sure to sound like a joke.
I continued drinking as I walked to Maehwaru.
* * *
The man guarding the entrance to Maehwaru opened his eyes wide as soon as he saw my face.
“Hey, you crazy bastard. What are you doing here? “Don’t get into trouble and go.”
“Is that what you would say to a customer?”
“You crazy bastard.”
All of a sudden, hands flew out.
I grabbed the man’s hand with my left hand and hit him in the face with the gourd.
puck!
He then grabbed me by the collar and beat me to the ground. I kicked the guy in the face who was half way up and knocked him out, then looked at Maehwaru.
“This is a mess of customer service. “Did it really turn?”
It was still a noisy place with the sound of pouring and drinking, so there was no one paying attention to the noise at the entrance.
Laughter erupted from everywhere.
“What is everyone so happy about? “Why are you always having fun except for me?”
The doorkeeper was stunned, so I opened the door with my own hands and went in. I shouted out loud what I had always wanted to say here.
“come here!”
You bastards!
* * *
When the drunken Jahagaekjan Jeomsoy appeared, the expressions of the Maehwaru employees serving the guests immediately hardened.
“Isn’t that the same guy?
“Where did you come from?”
I responded to the comments being made here and there.
“Where are you? Isn’t this a place to drink? “Didn’t you come here well?”
“ha ha ha.”
A guy named Cha Seong-tae, who was looking at me from the railing on this floor, laughed loudly.
“Right. “It’s a place to drink.”
His subordinates asked.
“Shall I kick you out?”
Cha Seong-tae, who was laughing heartily, waved his hand at me.
“no. Send it up. By the way, who hit him? “Why are your eyes like that?”
“I didn’t hit you.”
Cha Seong-tae, who is known to be the most sly man in Ilyang County, looked at me and grinned.
“You can’t turn away customers. “Welcome.”
Although it was a sly joke, when the fight actually broke out, there were not many people in the southern region of Ilyang County who could defeat Cha Seong-tae, except for the three Cho brothers. If they were similar to Cha Seong-tae, there were two other middle managers in other Giru roles who played the role of managers.
To be precise, I was beaten by Cha Seong-tae’s subordinates. Because of that, Cha Seong-tae, who was not able to properly manage his subordinates, was thinking that he would be tormented forever. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything really bad until I completely left Ilyang County, so there was no reason to kill him.
As I climbed the stairs, Cha Seong-tae spoke from this floor.
“Our guest, Jeomsoi, please serve the drinks table a little more generously. When will he come to a place like this again? Please serve everyone with sincerity. A customer is a customer.”
“All right.”
When I went up to this floor, the guide stuck to me.
“Come this way.”
As I entered the passage, I was guided to an empty room.
It was a room with a strange structure.
There was a drinking table in the center, and the bottom was hollowed out so that you could put your feet in it. It was a spacious structure with a secret room where about six people could sit around and drink, as well as a place where the gisaeng (gisaeng who was trained in the performing arts) who played music would usually sit.
The young staff member who guided us asked almost informally.
“What kind of alcohol would you like?”
“I should have been there to know. “Just get the expensive one.”
The employee suddenly looked at me blankly and asked in a different tone.
“But why speak informally…” … .”
I answered while sitting at the head of the table.
“I’m sorry for speaking informally. 개새끼야, 어여 술이나 가져와.”
The employee glared at me with a murderous look that threatened to kill me immediately.
‘Is this guy crazy?’
However, since I knew why I had Jeomsoy as a guest from above, I closed the door and left without saying a word.
I like eyes like that.
Eyes filled with anger, hatred, life and blood.
If you know it, it’s not a big deal.
If you get it right, your eyes will become sad and you will beg to be saved.
I waited for my drink with my arms crossed and touched my eyes again.
‘My temper flares up again.’
