47.
“We’ll need to do some weeding here.”
Two deer watched them from a distance, and beside them a wild boar wandered around.
Seol Mantong grinned and said.
“There’s plenty to eat too. This is a really nice place to live.”
The valley, about thirty zhang wide, stretched out in a long, winding shape.
As they headed toward the waterfall, they could see the house where Hwa Yeonshim had stayed.
She said she lived alone, but it was quite spacious at about thirty pyeong.
Though old, with a little repair work it didn’t seem insufficient for the four of them to live in.
Around the house was a wooden fence, probably built to prevent wild animals from entering.
Weeds had grown quite a bit in the courtyard as well.
With just the sunlight penetrating through the clouds, nature had created such abundance.
Seol Ryeoseon grabbed the door handle and said.
“We should go thank the Illusion Enchantress later, shouldn’t we?”
Then Seol Ryeoseon opened the door, looked at the wall directly in front, and cursed.
“That crazy Illusion Enchantress!”
Seol Mantong pushed his head toward Seol Ryeoseon’s side and asked.
“What’s wrong? What’s there?”
“Don’t look!”
But he had already seen it.
“Wow! Look at all those different positions!”
On the wall, about one zhang in height and width, were painted scenes of men and women enjoying Intimate Pleasure.
There were roughly a hundred illustrations, each depicting different positions.
And below the illustrations were annotations written in tiny characters.
“This crazy woman made us see something like this as soon as we entered!”
As Seol Ryeoseon raised her fist as if to smash the wall, Seol Changho grabbed her wrist.
“Wait!”
“Why?”
Seol Mantong swallowed his saliva, saying “Still, I should finish appreciating it. It’s well drawn.”
Seol Changho looked at the annotations written below the illustrations and said.
“This looks like martial arts?”
“What kind of martial arts is this! It’s obviously something like the Essence Absorption Technique that steals the opponent’s Internal Energy!”
“It doesn’t really seem like that though. Look at this position here.”
“I don’t want to look!”
Seol Ryeoseon turned her head away sharply, and then Seol Mujin entered belatedly.
“What’s there that’s causing such a commotion?”
“Aaah! Brother! Don’t come in!”
Even without entering the house, just standing at the doorway, one could see the illustrations at a glance.
Seol Mujin’s face gradually turned red, then he quickly turned around.
“Why… why is something like that drawn there?”
“That crazy Illusion Enchantress drew it!”
Seol Changho’s voice followed after Seol Ryeoseon’s outcry.
“This looks like a man and woman sharing Intimate Pleasure while enhancing their Internal Energy?”
Seol Mantong nodded his head.
“It’s definitely mysterious. It seems the Illusion Enchantress gained some enlightenment here.”
Seol Ryeoseon burst out shouting.
“What damn enlightenment!”
Seol Mantong said without caring.
“It heightens the ecstasy of Intimate Pleasure too. This is really… Slurp!”
“You bastard! Don’t drool! We need to destroy that thing right away!”
Seol Changho and Seol Mantong desperately stopped the raging Seol Ryeoseon.
“This is Martial Arts that will help hyung.”
“How is something like that Martial Arts!”
“There’s no time when your whole body’s senses become as extremely sensitive as during Intimate Pleasure. If we apply this to the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, he could master the Internal Energy Mind Technique much faster. This must be the gift the Illusion Enchantress mentioned.”
Seol Mantong added “It’s good for nighttime techniques too,” making Seol Ryeoseon burst with frustration once again.
So they agreed to normally keep it covered with cloth.
“You want me to learn that?”
Seol Mujin asked in confusion.
At his age, he had never properly held a woman’s hand.
Though countless courtesans at the pleasure house had secretly groped Seol Mujin’s body.
Seol Mantong said.
“Hyung. You’re at the age to start a family now. How can you start a family without knowing women?”
His expression was unusually serious.
“With hyung’s martial arts and that face, will women leave you alone? Look at the women around you. They’re crazy about hyung.”
“That’s because the noonas find me cute…”
“Bullshit! The cute phase passed long ago, now you’re a man! A man! Hyung gets hard every morning too!”
With those words, Seol Mantong ended up getting smacked on the back by Seol Ryeoseon.
Seol Changho spoke in a rather serious tone.
“There are many excellent martial arts in the world, but this is the only one of this kind. It’s good for hyung and good for the partner too. There’s nothing bad about learning it. If you really don’t like it, just don’t use it.”
The phrase “nothing to lose” always sounds sweet.
“Alright.”
It was embarrassing to look at, but since it wasn’t bad for Seol Mujin, even Seol Ryeoseon couldn’t stop him anymore.
They connected four large blankets to cover the wall, then began cleaning the house.
Though dust had accumulated, the furnishings were neatly organized.
Just from the house’s interior, they could tell Hwa Yeonshim’s usual personality.
The first three days were spent repairing the house to make four rooms and clearing the surrounding weeds.
Edible plants and fruits were abundant, and wild animals appeared frequently, so there was no worry about food.
Seol Mujin felt the bloodthirst accumulated in his heart gradually fade as he sweated over trivial things.
The blood scattered by his sword, their death throes, the terror they vomited out as they died seemed to have accumulated layer upon layer within Seol Mujin.
So even while eating, he could smell blood, and when he closed his eyes, those who were dying would come to mind, but that was gradually fading.
“You idiot! You have to remove the fish guts before grilling! It smells!”
“Eating it with the guts is so much more delicious! If you don’t like it, don’t eat it!”
“This pig bastard wants to eat it all by himself!”
Watching the bickering triplets, he regained the leisure to smile.
It was a tranquility he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Had there ever been a time in his life when he spent days so idly?
Even at Yeonji-ru, brief moments of laziness were fine, but spending several days lounging around was unimaginable.
Seol Ryeoseon and Seol Mantong, who had been arguing by the stream, finally escalated to physical fighting.
Since this often happened at the Jinan house too, he thought nothing of it.
But then…
Kwang—!
The ground exploded with an explosive sound.
It was the force created when their palm forces collided.
Broken gravel fragments flew all the way to Seol Mujin, who was ten zhang away.
They seemed like they were trying to kill each other, so Seol Mujin was about to intervene when Seol Changho clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk… They couldn’t fight freely at home, but now that there’s nothing in the way, they’re going all out.”
“Shouldn’t we stop them?”
Seol Changho waved his hand dismissively as if it was nothing.
“It’s fine. There’s nothing to break anyway.”
“No, I think they might get hurt.”
“They won’t kill each other.”
But to Seol Mujin, it looked like they might actually kill each other.
The area around the two people flying around and attacking each other was already devastated.
The impact was so great that fish in the water fainted and floated to the surface.
“My hands are itching too. Brother, shall we have a match?”
“Huh? With me?”
“I need to check your real skills, brother.”
Seol Changho didn’t wait for Seol Mujin’s answer and began his attack.
A fast and powerful fist headed toward his face, making him gasp involuntarily.
The shock transmitted to his arm as he hastily raised it to block was beyond imagination.
He had sparred with Seol Changho many times before, but it had never been this powerful.
“Brother! Get your head straight!”
If he didn’t draw out his martial arts to the maximum, it felt like several bones would break.
Seol Mujin’s knowledge of fist techniques wasn’t very deep.
While he had obtained the supreme technique of Ten Thousand Changes Sword from Deadly Sword Choi Gyeonghu for sword techniques, for fist techniques he had been cultivating variations based on the Three Talents Fist Technique until recently.
The Three Talents Fist Technique modified by the triplets possessed incomparable power and profundity compared to the original, but it still had clear limitations.
So he began learning the Demonic Sect’s Blood Jade Soul Crushing Fist, but because he removed as much of the Demonic Sect’s characteristics as possible, it didn’t reach its original power.
“Put martial power into your attacks and defense! Don’t forget the distribution of internal energy you realized while learning Traceless Ten Thousand Li Wind!”
At those words, Seol Mujin snapped to attention and didn’t waste a single move.
After just half a hour of sparring that felt like real combat, Seol Mujin’s sleeves and pant legs were torn to shreds.
His exposed skin was swollen red and would turn into dark bruises if left untreated.
Seol Changho let out a long breath and stopped his attacks.
“That’s enough for today… Ack!”
Seol Changho ended his words with a scream because of Seol Ryeoseon’s back attack.
“You bastard! Are you crazy! How could you beat up big brother like that!”
Seol Mujin stopped Seol Ryeoseon.
“I’m fine. We have the medicine Doctor Yeon made for us.”
“Even so, that’s too much. Big brother, does it hurt a lot?”
Seol Ryeoseon glared at Seol Changho and Seol Mantong while muttering, “Even if they’re guys, they have no delicacy, no delicacy.”
In any case, this trip had taken a very different form from what Seol Mujin had originally planned.
He had intended to quietly gather his troubled thoughts alone, but somehow it had turned into secluded training with the Triplets.
Thanks to that, his martial arts improved rapidly.
He had made remarkable progress even while working as a porter, but training in martial arts all day long made his development speed tremendous.
Like bamboo shoots growing after rain, he became visibly stronger.
Seol Mantong tilted his head while watching Seol Mujin practicing his breathing exercises.
“But isn’t big brother strange?”
“What do you mean?”
“Usually, to become as strong as big brother, there should be something called a stagnation period in between.”
The Triplets had experienced it too, and it was like growing pains that all Martial Artists went through.
There were countless Martial Artists who became frustrated and couldn’t break through that stagnation period.
Even those called geniuses of Mingjiao probably weren’t as strong as Seol Mujin at his age.
“It’s probably because he learned martial arts while living as a porter.”
“Huh?”
“You know how food goes down better when you’re hungry. Big brother probably never had enough time, so he was always hungry for martial arts. That’s why he skipped the stagnation period.”
It was a plausible theory.
Seol Mantong asked.
“But where did Ryeoseon go?”
“I think she went in earlier saying she was going to take a nap?”
“A nap all of a sudden? Ah! Should we study the martial arts that our Illusion Enchantress left behind?”
It was only later that they discovered the name of the wicked martial art written at the very bottom.
Mutual Life Heaven Technique.
Seol Ryeoseon had said “The name is fucking ridiculous too,” but it was a name that somehow made sense.
“Should we?”
Since it was martial arts they had never encountered before, they were curious about its essence.
They quietly opened the door, worried about waking Seol Ryeoseon, but they could see the back of Seol Ryeoseon, whom they had been worried about waking.
Her figure, slightly lifting the blanket that had been covering something and looking at the illustrations, was like a neighborhood kid secretly peeping at someone’s private moments through a window.
“What are you doing there?”
“Aaaah!”
Seol Ryeoseon was startled by Seol Mantong’s question and fell backward on her bottom.
“Why are you coming in without any sound, damn it!”
“You’re the one acting crazy. You could just look normally, so why are you peeping like crazy?”
“Pe… peeping? Who was peeping! I… I thought something was stuck on the blanket…”
“So you were looking at the blanket, not the illustrations on the wall?”
“Of… of course!”
Seol Mantong waved his hand dismissively toward Seol Ryeoseon’s room.
“Then go inside. Changho and I are going to study the Illusion Enchantress’s martial arts.”
“What’s there to study about this kind of thing.”
“Well, we’re going to study it anyway, so go inside.”
Seol Ryeoseon, who had been hesitating, said “Since we’re doing it anyway, let’s do it together. Three is better than two,” and held her ground.
Seol Changho chuckled and removed the blanket hanging on the wall.
Indeed, it was well drawn even upon seeing it again.
Hwa Yeonshim had enough skill that she could have succeeded even if she had made painting her profession.
Seol Changho pointed to the very first illustration.
“Shall we look at that one first?”
Seol Mantong, who was reading the incantation formula written below the position, said.
“I think we need to demonstrate it directly with our bodies?”
At those words, the Triplets looked at each other.
“Who goes on the bottom…?”
At Seol Mantong’s question, Seol Ryeoseon and Seol Changho’s gazes shifted elsewhere.
It was the first time they encountered martial arts where they couldn’t even take the first step.
“Let’s not worry about positions and just do it.”
At Seol Changho’s words, the other two readily agreed.
