How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

chapter 24



To be honest, I didn’t expect to be able to receive martial arts from Hao Mun.

“In fact, I knew that, and asked Chibong to teach me how to keep my inner core. Apparently, the Wei Guk Singong’s weakness is…”

Paeng Ju-hee bit her lip again to hold back laughter.

“…I thought it was his unique slow inner-hearted method.”

“!!”

The surprise was even greater as Yeon Woo-hyuk was also thinking about it.

In martial arts, the Naegongsimbeop played the most important role. No matter how much one learns the herbivorous diet, it could not be fully developed without the proper harmony of internal energy.

Right away, what Yeon Woo-hyuk always felt while fighting a few fights was not the lack of perfection of the martial arts, but the lack of internal martial arts.

“I brought three copies of the Inner Mind Law from Hao Mun’s library. I would like you to choose one of these.”

Lee Gyo calmly continued his explanation.

“One is a mental method that achieves internal energy quickly but lacks chastity. The other is a mental method in which the achievement of internal energy is mediocre, but the pureness is superior to the previous one. The last one is the slowest way to achieve inner strength, but the purest is the best method.”

After the explanation, the Paengga siblings winked at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

It was a glance that said, ‘You know what to choose?’

“I am sorry to say this on the side of repaying the favor, but once you choose, there is no turning back. The martial arts of the library cannot be leaked carelessly…”

“yes. All right.”

“Have you chosen?”

“As the first martial art…”

“Why!!!”

The Panga brothers and sisters involuntarily shouted at the same time.

* * *

Even after the drinking party ended, the Panga siblings regretted it until the end.

Of course, Yeon Woo-hyuk’s position was not incomprehensible.

Podu doesn’t have much time to practice martial arts, and opportunities to drink elixirs aren’t common, so quick achievements are desirable.

However, the impure inner energy was a bigger problem than expected. Both of them knew that well because they were seniors in martial arts with a higher level than Yeon Woo-hyuk.

Why do warriors who have mastered Safa’s martial arts or magic gong sometimes fall into madness after being struck by a magic attack? Impure internal energy accumulates and rises to the upper level before bursting.

“Oh, Woohyuk. If you feel strange while doing fortune-telling, send me a letter at any time.”

“yes. thank you.”

After sending the concerned Panga siblings away, Yeon Woo-hyuk exhaled a long breath. It was because too many things happened at once.

‘I don’t think impurity would be much of a problem.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk chose his first martial art for a simple reason. It was because I was confident.

…I’m already full of energy before the upper ranks, so I’m confident that there won’t be any problems no matter how impure I learn!

And now, Yeon Woo-hyuk had to build up his inner strength as soon as possible, regardless of means and methods. Otherwise, I didn’t know when the detonator would explode in the top battle.

“ah. this sauce. How are you, Hwa-hee?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk asked Lee Gyo a question he hadn’t asked before. Lee Kyo was surprised because he did not know Yeon Woo-hyeok would ask such a question.

“I went back to my hometown.”

“Oops. If your health…”

“It is not. Although the shock was great, I decided that it would be better to get out of Hankyung for a while as the work involved was great.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was relieved at the answer and lowered his head. I was worried that the gisaeng would damage it, but it didn’t seem to be a problem.

Lee Gyo stared at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

“I…”

“?”

“it’s nothing. More than that, Podu-nim. Can I ask you one question?”

“yes. Ask.”

Thanks to the Simbeop, Yeon Woo-hyeok became very generous.

“Why did Hwahee tell the truth to Podu-nim and not to me?”

“…?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk wondered what he was talking about. Isn’t the reason why the gisaeng confessed the truth was that she was stabbed to the point and two vicious warriors of Paengga stood on either side of her with swords.

However, the Moorim person in front did not seem to be curious about that. Yeon Woo-hyuk realized why the other person asked the question.

“Were you close friends?”

“yes? Yes… in its own way.”

‘This is something I can understand without having to use mystic powers.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk said with a bitter smile.

“Because we are close friends, there are things that are rather difficult to say. How can you easily say that you have to risk your friend’s life?”

“…!”

“I dare to advise. Please send a letter to Hwaheeran first. Then you will get a much better answer than if you ask me.”

After answering, Yeon Woo-hyuk turned around. Lee Gyo watched the returning Fodu with a deeply troubled face until he completely disappeared into the darkness.

* * *

Yang-cho was a po-gwae who worked under Sa Po-du, and was a po-gwae who felt rewarded in small things in his own way.

Until one day, Sa Podu was demoted to Poquee and a new Poque came into Podu.

gulp-

Candle checked her own appearance with a nervous face.

I didn’t know what faults the new Podu would make and harass.

From what I’ve heard, he didn’t even get along well with Sa Podu (there was a rumor that he made Sa Podu attack and then cut him himself)…

“Hey, are you there? Podu!”

“Come in.”

The new fodu was really young. He looked the youngest among the four heads of Hankyung Lee.

“It’s called a candle! From now on, under Podu-nim, I will renovate my bones and serve the cause!”

“That, to that extent…”

“yes?”

“done. Did anything happen while patrolling before coming today?”

“Ah, yes! It is said that a thief broke into the drug store down the street. A thief came in through the window at night and stole the medicine…”

“What kind of medicine is it?”

“yes? That, three windbreak roots, and two sprig roots…”

“Right. Get the drugstore owner.”

“yes??”

“Get the drugstore owner. It is his own play.”

“……”

Candle was dumbfounded and only blinked her eyes.

Podu Yeon Woo-hyeok (2)

‘Now… are you going to have a funeral ceremony?’

A kind of territorial desire to become a member of any organization awaited a newcomer.

Pokke also had to pass various harsh and painful tests in order to get out of being a newcomer.

Buying a drink or giving a bribe to a senior Po-kwae is relatively light, and there were times when I was beaten up by Po-kwae’s mok-gon. It was quite exhilarating to collapse without being able to endure this.

Candles were not a newcomer, but since Podu had changed, they had to be prepared for this kind of territorial attitude. If Podu wanted to, he could have replaced all the Pokkwa under him…

‘okay. This is a test!’

The prepared candle gritted its teeth. This was clearly a test.

A test to see how absurd orders can be followed!

It was an exhilarating position obtained by begging hard and stealing blood-like money as a bribe. I had no intention of being easily cut off.

“yes! I will break the drugstore owner’s leg and bring him back!”

“…no. You can’t break your leg. Just say nice and bring him.”

“Ah, yes.”

Yangcho lowered her head and headed to the pharmacy. If I didn’t listen, I planned to wield this Muk-gon without mercy.

“Look!”

“Po, feel better. Did you catch the thief?”

The drugstore owner ran out without even tidying up his messy hair. Her clothes were tattered and dirty, and the medicine cabinet didn’t seem to be tidied up yet.

The candle hesitated for a moment because the impression was so gentle and pitiful. She also remembered what the drugstore owner had done for the candle. Wasn’t he the kind of person who handed out iron coins one by one and said, ‘I’ll get better, get better,’ and thanked him politely.

That this poor fellow had staged a play. Podu, the newcomer, was really brutal.

“Follow me… I think you should follow me!”

“yes? Is the thief caught?”

“Po… Podu-nim… thinks you… made up your own business!”

The candle shouted without making eye contact.

The drugstore owner blinked quietly, then fell on the floor and wept bitterly.

“Stop crying and follow me…”

“I was wrong! I was wrong! How dare you try to fool Pokke-nim…!”

“????”

Candles doubted their ears.

“What did you say…”

“I must be blind! To make some money…”

“……”

Candle stood in a daze in shock, betrayal, and dejection.

“Work, let’s go to Podu-nim first. hurry!”

“I was wrong…”

“Shut up and come quickly!”

* * *

‘Podu’s seat… is better than I thought.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk shuddered at the power and closed his eyes.

After becoming Podu, I thought I knew why people were obsessed with power.

If this position alone is so good, how great are the upper positions?

First of all, Podu’s green pay was several times that of Poke, but in fact, the green pay was not that important. In the first place, the green salaries of bureaucrats were not very high.

The important thing was what Fodu could do.

First of all, Podu of Hankyung was able to use one safe house located in his district.

It was a place that was given to be used for a simple interrogation by calling the thugs together and calling the culprit, but conversely, the podoos didn’t have to come out because they were locked in here.

Patrols and Chupo are enough if you order the Pogwae, so even if Podu just stays still, he gets a decent salary.

Here, Podu, which has developed a little more, has expanded its territory in such ways as ‘It can be said that the mansion is not home’, ‘It can be said that Juru is not home’, and ‘It can be said that Giru is not home’.

‘I don’t need that much.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk had no intention of committing corruption so boldly. In the first place, one of these was enough. The reason Yeon Woo-hyeok was happy with this safe house was because of martial arts training.

When working as a Po-Kwae, no matter how competent or excellent they were, they each had to take on tasks and patrol, but when Po-Doo was in charge of an area, all they had to do was take care of the Po-Kwaes below them.

Yeon Woo-hyeok sat down and practiced martial arts, and all he had to do was check when the exhilarating spirits returned. It was a truly perfect environment.

‘Maybe Fodu is the perfect official position.’

The active and courageous Podu extorted the underprivileged and went around the nearby inn or shop to scratch the hermit, but Yeon Woo-hyeok did not have the guts to do so. I was grateful enough if I could just practice martial arts.

hahahahae Bultaek God.

This time, it was the name of the mental method received at Haomen. As soon as he received it, Yeon Woo-hyeok, who perfectly understood this mental method with his spiritual eyes, was still trembling at the effect.

It’s the same new art as the Wei Guo new song, but this one was really different. I could feel the stakes building up with each inhalation and exhalation.

It absorbed a bit of muddy energy as well, but it didn’t matter. Anyway, right now, there are a lot of spirit weapons piled up like a great sea…

‘I build my inner strength and collect the elixir. First of all, the goal is second-rate words.’

As Yeon Woo-hyeok meditated on his goal, he heard a knock on the door outside. Yeon Woo-hyuk took a deep breath and stopped eating.

Another advantage of hahahahaebultaeksingong was that it was free to stop and stop. Unlike Jeongjong’s martial arts, Sapa’s martial arts had a lot of surprise attacks, so even if their internal energy was impure, they prioritized this convenience.

“Are you here?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk looked down from the floor at the candles coming in with the drugstore owner and said.

When I saw it with my spiritual eyes, there was no sign of ‘I will avenge the grudge of Sa Podu!’, but people’s hearts never know when they will pop out.

Yeon Woo-hyuk was still not relaxed until the candle showed his true loyalty. As they were the cheerleaders who worked under the four heads, they couldn’t be careless even if they lowered their heads now.

“Yeon, Yeon Podu! The drugstore owner confessed!”
