Chapter 14 – Chapter 2 – Past

-10 years ago-

It was before Master picked me up and taught me something.

“Once the dantian is broken, it seems difficult to teach martial arts.”

“..Yes?”

Can’t learn martial arts

It was the moment when the expectation of being able to learn martial arts that I had in my heart was shattered.

“What on earth happened to ruin the dantian? If it wasn’t because the dantian wasn’t made because you didn’t learn martial arts at all, it’s clearly a sign that it was created once and then broken.”

“…Me?”

“Yeah. You.”

“…”

Of course I don’t know.

When I opened my eyes in this body, I was already almost dying in a back alley.

I met Master while somehow surviving in that state, but there was no way I knew about this body’s past.

“Well, you’d be embarrassed not to know. It wouldn’t be your body anyway.”

“…!”

“What are you so surprised about? Did you think she wouldn’t know that?”

“How…”

I didn’t mean to hide it, but I didn’t mean to reveal it either.

Actually, I thought that if I said that I came from another world and that this body is not mine, of course I would be treated like a madman.

“It’s hard to tell at a glance, but if you keep looking closely, you can tell the difference.

“..Master. It’s not what I meant..”

“Why are you afraid? It’s nothing to worry about.”

“..Don’t you think I stole your body?”

“If you were a person who could use such advanced magic, there would have been a better body than that body, but there would be no reason to choose a body like that. In fact, when I first met you, you looked like you were almost dying.”

“…”

“Well, it’s worth looking at the appearance.”

A body with only appearance.

Small, fragile, and weak.

But now I can’t even learn martial arts.

‘Why am I acting like this…’

I would rather do something wrong and be possessed.

I couldn’t help but feel unfair because I was suddenly in a position where I had to survive in such an unfamiliar body and in an unfamiliar world.

“..By the way, Master.”

“Why are you calling?”

“Didn’t you tell me yesterday that I looked like fermented soybeans?”

“…”

For some reason, I had a nightmare that day.

A nightmare so terrifying that I unknowingly burrowed into the arms of the woman next to me.

* * *

“..Doesn’t exist.”

“Oops. Excuse me. I can see familiar traces.”

It was a very rude question.

Asking someone new to you what school did you study in in the past?

It was rude enough for me to express my displeasure.

“Now that your questions have been answered, can I share the divination results?”

However, it was a pity to do that against the Moorim people who looked incredibly strong at first glance.

The real calluses were no joke.

Like a person who wielded only a sword all his life.

“Hoho, is it out already? It’s faster than I thought.”

“It’s because I’ve been doing this in the mountains for 10 years. It seems that the Gods of Heaven and Earth are taking good care of me.”

If the god of heaven and earth brought me to this world, I would have to pour out a basket of swear words to get rid of my aptitude.

But now I’m used to it and I’m living well.

‘I don’t think there will be a war going on in the entire midfield.’

If that happened, I’d have to figure out some way to escape, but at least I didn’t seem to have to worry for now.

The important thing now is the customer in front of you.

“Hmm..”

At this point, if I talk about the principle when I tell others about it after I see the fortune

First of all, when I read my divination, I receive the energy of the sky or receive a kind of revelation by reading the records.

And later, this content is translated into words and delivered to others, and this is where the problem arises.

It is said that the scope of heavenly leakage is not the same because it is according to the sky’s taste.

Instead, instinctively ‘I can say this far.’ And ‘I shouldn’t say it from here.’ I can know, but I am tired because there is no set standard.

Sometimes, there are customers who say why do I tell someone in detail and then tell me roughly?

‘Heaven is fair and all that stuff is bullshit. Gibberish.’

From my point of view, the most biased thing in the world is the sky.

Occasionally, there are people who can clearly see ‘You are loved by the sky’, but such people can only say good things because the contents are good and the scope of the heavenly leak is small.

‘Among the people I’ve seen so far, only Dang Ah-yeong?’

Anyway, that’s why I said this now

This woman also seems to be very much loved by Heaven.

.

“Do you have someone you usually keep in mind?”

“..What is it?”

“Ah. It’s misleading. It’s not a rational opponent, it’s a real person. I often think about it and care about it.”

“Um…”

The swordsmith remembered a woman at the fortune teller’s words.

If she were to be the person I thought of most often and cared about most of the time, she was nothing but the Heavenly Demon.

Of course, she cared about the elders of the Volcano Sect and such people, but since she saw the Heavenly Demon’s inaction, there hasn’t been a single day that she hasn’t thought of her.

When swinging a sword, when training, when taking a break.

“There is.”

“That person will take something precious from the guest.”

“…!!”

When she said that something precious was being taken away by the Heavenly Demon, she could only think of one thing.

Midfielder. The volcanic wave is attacked.

-Shaking

Just imagining it was terrifying.

To prevent that, I’ve been immersed in training until now, so I never thought I’d say that.

‘..No. Not yet.’

It is still too early to judge.

It may not be referring to the heavenly demon or the volcanic faction.

Because I didn’t say for sure.

“..What are you taking away from me?”

“Hmm.. You could say it’s like a customer’s life. Something like a life partner?”

“…”

Like my life. Something like a life partner.

Volcano. Or sword.

If it’s the latter, the Heavenly Demon and I will fight, and she will break my sword in front of her.

Rather, this is better.

It’s something I’ve been preparing for a long time ago, and it’s better than the former. Even if I break down, the midfielder will. The volcano will be healthy.

..But what if the former?

Or if it’s both?

“..Are your points on the right side?”

“I’m often wrong, but… I’m usually about 80 percent right.”

80%. It was a high probability.

You can’t trust all of this fortune teller’s words, but considering his rumors, it was undeniable that his talent for reading the heavenly spirit was quite good.

“Personally, I would like to give you some advice.. Destiny is not predetermined. The Gods of Heaven and Earth always prepare other futures. And from what I feel… It is a future that can be prevented enough. If the customer makes an effort.”

“..How can I do it?”

“Um… You should pay more attention to yourself.”

“Hmm..”

I thought I should focus on training more.

.
.
.

“Wow, he recited it almost exactly.”

It was a rare guest.

The point of using Bagua is that I can not see the future scene exactly, but only fragmentary information, so it is difficult to convey it if I want to pay attention to the leakage of heavenly secrets.

But to be a guest who doesn’t have to worry about leaks like this after a long time.

“Looks like you are loved by the sky.”

What kind of virtue did he accumulate in his previous life, so that the prickly sky treated him so well?

‘It must have been true that he accumulated a lot of virtue.’

After the guest was over, he thanked me and threw a silver coin and left.

I think something similar happened about a month ago, but I can’t remember.

What did you do to earn money?

It won’t be a big deal.

‘Anyway, I want to deal with this soon.’

He touched a ball the size of a fist in his bosom.

It’s a bead that Master cherished, and I tried it before I came out to try it.

After all, he is a person who has entered lung training.

There would be nothing to write. Someone out there should write it.

Originally, tools were intended to be useful.

The problem is that I have no idea how to use it.

‘When looking at a fortune, I can use it up to mixing the energy inside.’

When I saw Master before, he separated all the stars with this bead.

Because even when you looked at my point right now, you saw it with this.

‘At least I can see a fortune with this…’

Even if you blow energy into the beads like this, there is no sign that it will work.

Let’s think. How Master used this bead when reading my fortune in the past.

‘Oh right. My hair.’

At that time, he must have placed my hair on a bead and looked at the divination.

‘Then I’ll take mine too…’

I remembered that time and put my hair on a bead, but there was still no response.

‘..Couldn’t it be the caster himself?’

Considering the characteristics of fortunetellers who cannot see their own fortunes, there was a possibility.

I tried to pick up random hairs in the store, but it felt awkward to use someone I didn’t know.

Then the person around you who can ask for just one strand of hair…

‘..There is only one person.’

I decided to ask later.

* * *

‘By the way, that fortune teller… I’m sure the traces are familiar…’

Thinking of the fortune teller’s words, the swordsman went back to his residence and thought of the traces on the body of the fortune teller he had seen.

‘It was difficult to see properly because the Danjeon was broken, but… That’s definitely a trace of the volcanic wave’s air gap.’

It was hard for him to think that no one else would see him wrong.

Those traces were obviously qigong learned by students who had just entered the volcano school.

‘Danjeon is broken means that you committed a crime or suffered an accident…’

A disciple who has just arrived. And a broken dagger.

A vague memory is about to rise.

His sore finger and mistake.

‘…I guess not.’

How much effort was put into finding that child at that time.

Perhaps he was mistaken.

It was over 10 years ago.
