Chapter 84. The Rise of The Second Gongson Chun Gi (1/2)

Chapter 84. The Rise of The Second Gongson Chun Gi [Rabbit ver.] (Real Name of Chapter: Little Monster)

“What, did you dream or something?”

Cho Ryu Hyang, who had been struggling quite a bit in his sleep, found his teacher, and made a surprised face.

He quickly stood up.

Gongson Chun Gi pushed the boy back to bed, then spoke.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. You should lay down a bit more. We still have time before we leave.”

A day before the trip, Gongson Chun Gi came into Cho Ryu Hyang’s room, and watched the boy all night.

He had been thinking all this time.

Cho Ryu Hyang looked at his teacher with a tired face.

He could see that his teacher’s eyes held feelings of trust and worry at the same time.

When he saw such humane feelings emanate from his teacher, he was a bit relieved, and surprised at the same time.

Cho Ryu Hyang smiled, and spoke with a slightly tired voice.

“…….I feel like I had a really long dream.”

He was still very confused.

He felt like he went on a really long trip in his dream.

He didn’t know if this was reality, or if the world in his dream was reality.

But he soon began to be able to distinguish which was which.

His senses were coming back.

“Hoh? A dream at a time like this……. Did it have any pretty girls in it?”

Cho Ryu Hyang smiled at his teacher’s playful tone.

“There were no pretty girls. It’s just……”

“Just?”

Cho Ryu Hyang didn’t say anything for a second.

He spread out his hands with a thoughtful face, and muttered quietly.

“My body became exceedingly light……. and I traveled to places. And I think I touched something with these hands.”

Cho Ryu Hyang was already beginning to forget the contents of the dream.

Cho Ryu Hyang blinked a few times with a dumb face, then looked at his teacher.

Gongson Chun Gi looked at his disciple with a little confusion, and asked a question.

“Where did you go?”

Cho Ryu Hyang desperately grasped at his fading dreams, and opened his mouth.

“I looked around everywhere in the world. But even that wasn’t enough, so I went down the see, and even flew up into space.”

He then grabbed something with his hands at the end, but he wasn’t able to remember just what he had grabbed.

‘What was that?’

It seemed really important.

But he just couldn’t remember it.

Gongson Chun Gi spoke, as Cho Ryu Hyang scrunched up his face trying to remember what he had dreamed.

“You dreamt a really adventurous dream, huh. That’s unlike you.”

Adventurous?

Cho Ryu Hyang smiled, and nodded.

“Yes, I think so. I think I might have wanted to explore the world a bit.”

Gongson Chun Gi quietly stared at his disciple, then opened his mouth.

“Weaklings believe that dreams are signs of the future, and fear it. But strong ones believe that dreams are a manifestation of their desires.”

“…….”

“It seems that you have quite a big desire.”

Cho Ryu Hyang made an awkward face.

He felt that his teacher was right.

Gongson Chun Gi lightly tapped on his disciple’s shoulder, and spoke quietly.

“Be careful of that old man with the fan.”

“What?”

What old man?

When Cho Ryu Hyang made a confused face,

Gongson Chun Gi grinned, and opened his mouth.

“You see, I really, really don’t like that guy. Even though he’s just watching for now.”

What was he talking about?

While Cho Ryu Hyang was thinking about his teacher’s words confusedly, his teacher smirked, and changed the topic.

“How much of the Moon Edge Blade Technique did you learn?”

“I passed Ryun.”

“You still have a lot to do, huh.”

When Cho Ryu Hyang nodded with a bitter face, Gongson Chun Gi spoke.

“Try not to use the Shura Environment as much when you go out. That thing likes to go berserk the more you use it. I just came to tell you that.”

“Understood.”

“I’ll be there with you at Sichuan later on. Go buy some good drinks for me meanwhile.”

“I’ll do that.”

Gongson Chun Gi said this, and exited the room with a playful smile.

* * *

“Ouch, my back.”

Gongson Chun Gi exited Cho Ryu Hyang’s room, and sat down on a random rock in the back yard while massaging his waist.

After inheriting the Shura Environment to Cho Ryu Hyang, Gongson Chun Gi had gotten a lot weaker.

“No, it’s not that I actually got weaker.”

Gongson Chun Gi had been strong from the moment he had been born.

He wasn’t talking about his body, or skills. The person of Gongson Chun Gi had been strong from the start.

A sense of perseverance that would not wilt under any circumstances, and the sense of leisure that allowed him to smile at any given situation.

This was a type of strength unrelated to martial arts.

Gongson Chun Gi looked up at the sky, and laughed a little.

Shura Environment.

The way this technique was transferred was to split off a part of it from his body, to implant it to the next heir.

This ‘inheritance’ ceremony was dangerous enough to take away the lives of many former heirs.

‘Well, at least it’s easy to pass on. If you don’t take into account the fact that you age instantly.’

It wasn’t very noticeable due to his youthful personality, but Gongson Chun Gi was able to feel that he had aged quite a bit.

He trembled more than usual when a cold wind passed nowadays.

He could even feel the wind pass through his bones.

But even at a time like this, Gongson Chun Gi smiled.

After all, he had earned as much as he had lost.

‘I might actually be able to get rid of this damn side effect.’

All this time, Gongson Chun Gi worked ceaselessly to get rid of the Shura Environment’s side effect.

Everyone thought that he had shortened the countless verses of the Shura Environment out of laziness, but that wasn’t the case at all.

He did all this with backbreaking work, in order to try and get rid of the side effect.

And when he let Cho Ryu Hyang inherit the Shura Environment, he was able to realize something.

‘I can get rid of the side effect.’

When he thought of this, he could only laugh.

The results of his life’s work was finally coming into his view.

He just needed time to confirm it now.

Gongson Chun Gi was planning on spending the rest of his time trying to get rid of the side effect.

Doing that would benefit both Cho Ryu Hyang and the church.

* * *

’This isn’t…….good.’

Cho Ryu Hyang bit his teeth as he ran.

He made a wrong decision.

He was too greedy.

He had been ensnared by the beast called curiosity.

And the price for being caught by the beast was truly horrifying.

‘It’, who had been quietly watching Cho Ryu Hyang and Un Hui run, began to move slowly.

Cho Ryu Hyang grit his teeth when he saw this.

‘Would it work?’

He couldn’t get Un Hui dragged into this.

Cho Ryu Hyang made a concerned face as he fondled the gems in his pocket.

At that moment, ‘it’ thought.

‘What an interesting child.’

‘It’ was exceedingly happy after his thousand-year old seal got broken.

‘It’ was happy enough to disregard ‘its’ status, and dance around.

What surprised ‘it’ was that a mere human managed to break the seal created by the heavens itself.

But that didn’t really matter to ‘it’.

‘It’ was just thinking of gifting the Nine Lands Medicinal Flower to the boy.

‘Well, I was only going to do that as long as the boy didn’t recognize me, though.’

‘It’ wasn’t going to give the flower away anymore.

‘It’ became interested in the boy.

‘It’ revealed its sharp teeth, and grinned.

That child.

That child was able to see ‘it’ even when ‘it’ hid ‘itself’.

It was kind of confusing at first, but the boy was clearly looking at ‘it’.

The child must’ve had a lot of fortuitous encounters to see ‘it’.

‘It’ tried to just leave everything at that at first.

‘But…….’
