Chapter 1067
Episode 1067: White
Lin’s Pavilion, Beijing Bunta.
Among the buntas, it is a huge bunta that ranks among the top three.
Since it is a place where not only Kang Ho-in but also people of the government visit, a large amount was allocated to the budget from the beginning.
It is equipped with a crushing room that is twice as large as a normal royal palace.
There are as many Busuldang councilors stationed there as well.
If you can’t make a reservation at the main office of Baeklinui Pavilion, there are some rich people who can make a reservation at Bunta in Beijing.
The family waiting room in the destruction room.
In the past, it was called the Guardian Waiting Room, but the name was changed to the ‘Family Waiting Room’ after people asked how dare they say that children are the ones taking care of their parents.
There, Cheolgeumsin was fiddling with the iron coin with a nervous look on his face.
Not money or silver coins, but iron coins.
The reason for fiddling with this is no different.
-Everyone believes that there is no crisis in our Cheolgeumbang. That’s not it. I just do my best to avoid any crisis. Being connected to the county governor is one way to do that. But still, crisis comes.
I couldn’t understand at first.
Considering Cheolgeumbang’s enormous wealth, it seemed like a crisis was about to come.
But my father laughed. I just laughed.
-It was a peaceful time. Hey kid. In those times of peace, the profits of Cheolgeumbang were tight, and my father… no, he must have been your grandfather. My grandfather once made an unreasonable purchase of an iron mine. But, by chance, bloodshed occurred there. I had bad luck.
At that time, the bloodshed of powerful people was more severe than it is now.
All the villages of the civilians in the area were burned down, and the people would wander aimlessly and take shelter in Sapa.
And the repercussions were felt in Cheolgeumbang, where the mine had been expanded excessively.
-Unfortunately, the iron ore trade with other merchants was cut off, and due to excessive expansion, the bills could not be blocked, and all of the affiliated workshops almost closed down. Do you know what this father did at that time?
At that time, the father took out an old iron coin and gave it to his son.
-The steel plate was melted. Everyone told me that was crazy and that my belly button was bigger than my stomach. But this father made a sword out of these iron coins. And he said it was okay to sell it more expensive than that. If the price of knives is more expensive than the iron coins we spent, we will survive.
It was a choice bordering on madness.
However, even if he is one of the world’s top ten masters, he cannot make new recruits every time.
What can I say?
It is said that it is possible when luck and karma meet and only a single moment passes by.
Of course, good ingredients are helpful, but if you don’t have this momentary something, you won’t be able to rise to the level of a new recruit.
His ancestors also used to say that.
So you have to do what you can.
The blacksmith, who could not obtain iron, melted the iron and forged the sword, and now the rest was up to the sky, or luck.
-The blood feud that started in the mine spread and the powerful people bought all the knives and started to dominate our workshops. Isn’t it funny? Those who almost killed us actually made us stronger.
Jalang-
sometimes it was like that.
What doesn’t kill us ultimately makes us stronger.
-It is the only iron plate that was not melted at that time. It’s a symbol of this father’s good luck. I’ll give it to you.
My father said.
‘Sometimes this small iron coin determines life or death.’
It was a symbol of his good fortune and when his father was at his strongest.
Now, due to the Emperor’s whim, his arm was broken and his old firearms are gone, but Cheolgeumsin remembers his father back then.
‘Please, please….’
Byeok-an Shin-ui and Soui-seon, now called Uiseon and the one called Il-gwang in Gangho.
he said.
They said they would do fixation with metal.
At that time, they said they would repair the part where the bone was attached incorrectly by breaking it again because I couldn’t get treatment.
He said it was fortunate that his father did not neglect martial arts training.
Usually, civilians do not grow bones easily, even if it is because of their age.
I was explaining the possible aftereffects and risks, but my father stopped listening and said this.
‘Where should I put my seal?’
Aside from the pain, it is difficult to raise your arm in the first place.
I would do anything to make it even a little better.
-I heard that Yoo Rang-hoo has broken a bone and is in danger of not being able to use his leg. I heard that all the lawmakers from Hwaseong Province said that the leg should be cut off? What more could you ask for from a divine doctor who cured it?
In my father’s eyes, there was not a single doubt about his faithfulness.
Eyes as if looking at the savior.
No, it wasn’t wrong.
Even his son, Cheol Geum-sin, couldn’t guarantee what would have happened to his father if Sin-ui had come even a little late.
He said that since treating that would have been much more difficult, this would be much easier.
He seems to have remembered what the senator said that the time to destroy it is shorter this way.
Sinui simply replied that all subjutsu was dangerous and that if it could be solved without opening the body, it would be better not to open it.
In the end, my father listened to God’s explanation and put his seal on it.
Faith won.
‘I can’t believe my father was listening to someone else’s story…’
Miraculous things were happening several times.
-Well, you still need to abstain for three months. I’d like to tell you not to strain your arm for a year even after it heals, but you won’t listen, right?
The congressman grumbled as he looked at his father, who was already itching to fire up the blacksmith.
– After Kang Ho-in was discharged from the hospital, he didn’t listen to the doctor’s advice and got into a sword fight somewhere and ended up with a broken arm. The iron core was shattered in ancient times. At that time, even if the congressman comes, there is nothing you can do about it. They say you will remain disabled for the rest of your life.
My father said he knew.
But the congressman sensed something.
– These are the eyes that don’t listen to me. It’s a big deal.
When you treat a lot of patients, you seem to have an eye for recognizing the wrong people.
The lawmaker said, ‘Elderly people really don’t listen to me.’ He sighed and said.
-I promise. I decided to take a break for at least three months. And to not go somewhere and have a sword fight for a year. The blacksmith work… haha… let’s learn external skills. I’ll also teach you how to play.
In the eyes of Iron Metal Ark, Baekrin Uigak Sogakju is a person with an excellent eye for people, not befitting his age.
In my opinion, the maximum my father can tolerate is three months.
My father’s passion for blacksmithing is almost maddening.
A life where I looked at the furnace every day with my sore arms burning.
It would be difficult to express that resentment in words.
Didn’t he grow older day by day, losing everything in a river where he didn’t know whether he would live or die a year later?
‘There’s no way my father can afford to wait for that.’
That’s probably why they teach external and regenerative techniques.
‘If this happens, our Cheolgeumbang will never be able to betray Baekrin Uigak.’
Even if it wasn’t a priestly relationship, it was a relationship where martial arts were taught and received.
For a blacksmith, arms are life. That life was saved.
‘I was saved by my father’s personality and even learned martial arts, so can I betray him?’
It would have been better if a knife was put to my throat, but that wouldn’t have happened.
And the same goes for my son.
Now, Cheolgeumbang and Baekrin Uigak have a deep connection that cannot be broken even if they try to break it.
‘Has Daylight calculated and arranged that?’
I can not know.
But I often hear things like this.
When working with Il-kwang, at that moment it felt like he was only handling the task in front of him, but at some point, when he looked back, things were going the way he wanted.
But strangely enough.
…I don’t feel bad.
‘…Kkeukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I can’t feel bad….my life was saved…’
Now his father has the same look in his eyes as when he gave him the iron coin.
The look in your eyes that told you to cherish even a single coin.
What doesn’t kill us ultimately makes us stronger.
The Emperor ultimately failed to kill his father’s beliefs.
I almost died, but God healed me.
It flew in like a big bird and sat down in this house.
‘The destruction will go well, right?’
Ilgwang The man seemed quite relaxed.
‘Khehehe!’ to the point where it seems a bit shameless. I burst out laughing to the point where I wanted to punch him.
‘But that’s probably because I’m so confident in my skills.’
I’m annoyed, but somehow I feel relieved.
During the long break, he touches and touches the iron coin.
That feeling.
The iron coin, now polished from wear in his hands, memorized where the scratches and wrinkles were even with his eyes closed.
I hope your father recovers.
If it doesn’t recover.
‘I’d rather end my life in a wreck room.’
It was a terrible thought, but it was better than losing hope.
Because it was my father’s earnest wish.
All blacksmiths are crazy.
* * *
How long did I wait?
In what seems like an eternity, the only sound is the sound of breathing.
Everyone is thinking about their father and worrying about him.
I think back to each and every wrong thing I did to my father and regret that I shouldn’t have done that.
It’s like a sinner waiting for the judgment of King Yeomra.
I guess it’s because I know what will happen to my father if this surgery goes wrong.
So finally.
Click –
the door to the breaking room opens.
Someone walks out.
The powerful footsteps
are walking deliberately making a sound.
“Oh my gosh, were you waiting?”
It is a divine medicine.
“result…?”
“With how thick your forearm bones are, I’m guessing you’ll be able to produce ten sacks as a new recruit? “You have very easy-going biceps.”
I laughed.
“ah…!”
But for some reason, without even realizing it, the hand holding the iron coin becomes tense.
I’m crying so hard.
I knew it was uncool. I knew that it would hurt my reputation as the head of the family.
“My father has thicker arms than me. Hahaha… I guess I wasted my age.”
“Oh my gosh, they said you lived like a wreck, but it was all a lie. He practiced martial arts on his own for so long that he had stronger muscles than most men. “How did you practice martial arts with those sore arms? Are there any deep techniques that you learned that maintain muscle strength?”
“Hahaha, there is something similar. It is an internal skill that maintains strength. “Because the blacksmith work is hard, he never misses a day.”
Even in situations where he couldn’t use his arms, my father practiced his deep skills.
Although the pain must have been extreme.
‘There is no poisonous tumor like that.’
Byeok-an Shin-ui also nodded, as if he had guessed that.
“yes. “Even a man with amazing muscles can’t have arms like that.”
“Kkekekekeke, do you know that you still show off your arms in front of your mother? My mother secretly likes the tendons that protrude from my arms. So, when summer comes, I just roll up my sleeves and act out in front of my mother…”
“There’s nothing this guy can’t do!”
My mother slaps me on the back.
But the mother who hit me was also crying.
Wasn’t he the one who had to watch his father break down?
Later, they had a big fight and even separated from each other.
Nevertheless, he did not return to his in-laws in the end.
When I look back, I see my younger brothers crying too.
“Anyway, my brother is also the main person.”
“that’s right. “Do I really have to say something like that in a place like this?”
“I knew I would be like that.”
Everyone cried and laughed.
“thank you. “Of the world.”
The best lawmaker in the world.
Everyone agrees that the congressman in front of them is someone who deserves that title.
The father who received treatment would be the first to nod his head.
Wasn’t that how easily the biggest problem in this family was resolved?
However, the Heavenly God nods his head.
“Feel free to call me daylight.”
“Ah, are you more comfortable with that nickname now?”
“Khehehehe!”
Jin Cheon-hee burst out laughing.
“I will teach you martial arts as soon as you recover. I won’t look at it. Family members should also be prohibited from holding a hammer for at least three months. “It’s not like you’re just playing around, you’re really going to wield it to the point where you can make a weapon, right?”
“yes. “You can swing as much as your forearms are worth.”
I’m a little worried about this.
With that fiery temper, he endured for half a hundred years.
I won’t tolerate it anymore.
“I’m going to wrap it tightly with plaster. Be sure to block it. “Okay?”
Everyone laughed at that.
“all right.”
As the whole family’s eyes lit up, Jin Cheonhee crossed her arms and said.
“Seeing that everyone’s eyes resemble yours, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.”
The good news is that we are stubborn too.
Because they are people in iron rooms.
* * *
The old man had a long dream.
I don’t remember what the dream was about, but I just remembered seeing fireworks.
A blacksmith’s dream.
‘I guess I had that dream again.’
It was a dream where I lost my hammer and kept looking for it.
Usually, I just keep looking for the hammer until I wake up.
But what was it like this time?
I don’t remember.
However, the old man feels tears starting at the corners of his eyes and pooling between his wrinkles.
It was a trace of the years the old man had endured.
“Oh, you’re awake.”
Jin Cheon-hee comes and takes a pulse and presses here and there.
“I have a feeling. “Don’t worry.”
“Hehehe. “When I was exhausted, I felt like I was already good at breaking things.”
“Anyway…”
Next to him was his son, Cheolgeumshin.
“father. “I’ll give it back to you.”
While saying that, he placed the iron coin next to the bed.
No matter how much I cleaned it with my hands, it was shiny and shiny.
“I entrusted you with my symbol of good luck. “You don’t need any luck anymore?”
“My luck is my father.”
It was the eyes of the chieftain.
Cheolgeumcheon said, thinking about when his son grew up like that.
“okay. Incinerator… You said you need the best weapon, right?”
“yes. “Any weapon that is worth the cost of the Imoogi material will do.”
I’ll just answer there.
He avoided answering the question of exactly what type of weapon he needed, saying he would tell him after he recovered. The reason is probably –
‘I’m worried that you’ll run out to make it before I fully recover.’
Such a clever lawmaker.
But what can I do about my heart itching?
The old man speaks with eagerness.
“I will make it for you.”
Jin Cheon-hee looked at those words with a straight face.
“Let’s think about it after you’re all healed, your bones are healed, and you go through rehabilitation treatment. “It was an arm that couldn’t be moved for half a century.”
“No….”
“I will teach you regeneration techniques and external techniques, so you must learn them all.”
“No, that’s it…”
“When I diagnose you and determine that you are good enough to be a new recruit, then you can start working.”
Cheolgeumcheon was dumbfounded and asked his son.
“Doesn’t daylight know romance?”
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“It’s a new recruit, and the bare feet come first, and the forearms come first. “You have to take care of your body.”
“…That’s a really strange thing to say. “That’s a strange thing to say.”
It was something the blacksmith had never heard in his entire life.
Isn’t it the heart of a craftsman that if he can make a new soldier today, it’s okay if his life is cut off tomorrow?
But Il-gwang said it in a casual way.
“If you want to settle down, do it through meditation. “… If you look at strong fighters, don’t they imagine martial arts and practice it through meditation in their heads even if they don’t move their bodies?”
“Is that possible?”
“Only those who are tax-saving can do this. But isn’t the old man a peerless blacksmith? “Of course it will!”
It was crazy.
Jin Cheon-hee herself simply cried out as a spinal reflex with the intention that whatever would happen would happen.
“!”
However. For Cheolgeumcheon, this became a ripple that stuck in his heart.
Like Kang Ho-in’s realization, eons of time become a split second and hit my brain.
Like a lightning bolt splashing through his body, an exhilarating flash of light washes away half a century of his time.
enlightenment.
Deep realization.
What might be called enlightenment in Buddhism passed through the blacksmith’s mind.
To fill a bowl, you must first empty it.
Enlightenment began to fill the vessel that had been empty for half a century.
Rather, it is a paradoxical situation that I was able to fully receive that enlightenment thanks to not holding a hammer for half a century!
“Right. That was it! It was something like that. There was no need to focus on the body. “What is important is the heart.”
“!?”
‘…you achieved enlightenment?’
Jin Cheon-hee’s pupils briefly quaked for a moment, but he succeeded in maintaining his expression anyway.
The old man continued to speak in the dungeon.
“If you use that method, you will be able to practice dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times until you are perfect as a new recruit.”
“…Yes. you’re right! Hehehe, I already knew this. “I’m glad you realized it now.”
“Thank you for teaching me, a foolish person. Indeed, Zhuge! “It’s a masterpiece.”
“Hahaha, it’s thanks to the Hyeonwonjeondanshin technique taught by our ancestors.”
“Oooh! As expected, it’s amazing. As God’s Word said, I will continue to purify myself until I am fully healed and hone my skills through meditation. I am truly the king of the world for you to teach me this method!”
“I’m glad you listened to what the councilor said so well.”
Jin Cheonhee looked out the window.
His eyes seemed to know everything in the world.
‘I can’t believe this works.’
It’s a scam too.
“….”
It was fall.
