Tale of a Scribe who Retires to the countryside - Chapter 7

Saja-hyuk’s voice continued unstoppably.

“Do you know what my work means? Do you know what surprises my one movement contains? In the rain of the adherents, a small shake of the eye can determine the win or loss. If you see every single movement and do not read its meaning, it is as if you have not seen anything. No, it’s worse than that.”

Son-bin could not object to Saja-hyuk’s words.

Only last night. Saja-hyuk’s martial arts brought Son-bin a close touch of awe, but it was just that.

I know nothing about where his prowess is so great or why it is so great.

Son-bin sighed.

“That’s right.”

Even if it is a Myeongpil, or not a Shinpil, it will only look like something to those who do not have a discerning eye.

Although it may be able to impress itself, it will not even compare in the depth and understanding of the surprise.

“Now I have no eyes to see your sword. And I don’t have myself to express myself properly.”

If you see Saja-hyuk’s demeanour in this way, Son-bin will be impressed once again. However, there is little that can be done about that duty. It just looks like something is over with a flash.

“Writing is what you have to do. However, there is nothing to worry about the eyes that see the radish.”

Saja-hyuk said.

“Because I have.”

Seeing his faint laugh, Son-bin felt uneasiness, which he did not know.

“Xhm. But…….”

Son Bin asked Saja Hyuk, moving quickly again to Sephil, who had stopped.

“What’s more important than weapons or weapons?”

Saja-hyuk frowned for a moment, and soon remembered that it was what he had said.

– It does not matter what you hold in your hand. It’s not really that important to learn what kind of martial arts. When you get to a certain point, the really important thing is…….

“Alas, that is.”

Looking down at Son Bin, Saja Hyuk said.

“The road, it was soon a road.”

‘Do?’

I thought it was a fresh answer. But the person who knows now is Saja Hyuk, and the person who does not know is Son Bin. Son-bin sighed slightly and moved the fine brush.

The old book had a single letter, “Do,” written on it, and the book was closed.

***

Saja-hyuk always walked slowly. But it was not slow.

If Son-bin delayed a little, Saja-hyuk was in front of me, so Son-bin always had to run to catch up. In addition, Saja-hyuk rarely stopped. It was as natural as if you were walking the familiar path you had always been on.

“Huck, Huck.”

Son Bin took a rough breath, wiping the sweat. The spacious pavilion was easy to walk, but there was no shade. The only respite was to take a moment’s breath under the shade of a small tree that we sometimes meet.

“You don’t even take a breath?”

Son Bin asked, looking at Saja Hyuk, who was standing in silence. If you walk like this on a hot summer day, it’s a good idea to sweat, but Sajahyuk does not sweat, let alone breathe.

“Are you out of breath?”

Saja-hyuk looked down at Son-bin with his arms clasped and said, ” I’m not going to be able to do that.” ‘Don’t you see?”I want to,” Son looked at Saja-hyuk.

“The reason you breathe easily is because your breathing is shallow.”

Saja-hyuk said.

“If the breath is shallow, the movement is disoriented, and if the movement is disoriented, the flow cannot be followed. This is the same as always against the wave, so how hard is it not?”

Son-bin stared blankly at Saja-hyuk for something to say.

rustle.

Son Bin asked, almost reflexively, putting his hand in his arms, taking out a brush and an old booklet.

“So what do I do?”

“Deeply.”

Saja-hyuk’s answer was simple. Son Bin frowned. I said it shouldn’t be shallow, not to mention it should be deep. The question is ‘ how’.

“How can you breathe deeply?”

“It is the essence of the present state that it is slow, not stopped, not flowing, not losing direction, and not deep and incessant.”

Son-bin teased the brush and looked up. It sounds like you know somehow.

“Bewitching?”

“It means core.”

“Can I tell you that?”

Saja-hyuk laughed.

“You’re a student, so you know the fine print.”

“Yes.”

“What is good writing?”

To the sudden question of Saja-hyuk, Son-bin answered, puzzled.

“Xhm. How to express a good letter in a word, usually a good letter should be a harmonious expression of a strong look and soft emotions. A strong shape is a representation of a straight, urgent, dry thing, a soft emotion is a round, hidden, baked, and glazed thing. It’s a good letter that these things are well harmonized and expressed.”

“Can you write a good letter if you know it?”

Son-bin smiled bitter.

“Can you do that? I need to know how to write a brush right now, how to write a brush, how to write a brush, how to write a brush, how to write a brush, how to write a brush, how to write a brush, how to write a brush…..”

Son-bin frowned as he spoke.

“I mean, you don’t know it with your head.”

“Yes.”

Saja-hyuk laughed.

“Even if you hold a sword before you learn the word, and you have spent your whole life in training, you cannot master one sword. Even if you train for sixty years without a day off, you can barely work all of a sudden. So how can you know that you only heard a few words? It’s not the whole thing, it’s the whole thing.”

His words were not like Son Bin’s, but rather like his own words to himself.

“Sometimes there are people who get enlightenment in the moment, but that is also possible for those who are prepared. Now you have not seen, nor heard, nor heard.”

It seemed to ignore Son Bin excessively. However, his words were not exactly wrong, so Son-bin had to make fun of his brush, just to recreate his bitter taste.

“Let’s go, there’s a long way to go.”

Saja-hyuk said as he looked at the sun starting to tilt.

“Already?”

“Has not your breathing already calmed down?”

‘Is that so?’

Then his breathing subsided imperceptibly. However, Son-bin did not feel very rested when he took Saja-hyuk’s words.

“Hoo.”

Son-bin sighed and stood up to pack his luggage. Already, Saja-hyuk is walking the road ahead of me. Son-bin thought as he strode up the crowded pavilion.

I can’t wait to see what’s going on.

‘Oh, it’s amazing.’

You can see the back of Saja Hyuk walking ahead. His pace is fast, even if he doesn’t seem to be in such a hurry. In addition, it feels so light that it doesn’t fit that big physique.

‘Slow, not stopping, flowing, not losing direction, deep and incessant….’

Son-bin just recalled that the former Saja-hyuk was the trick of Hyuncheon. And I remembered what Sajahyuk said about breathing.

‘So, do you take a slow, deep breath? Where once…….’

“suhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Son-bin opened his mouth a little and breathed slowly. As if taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled.

“Whoo-whoo. Keck.”

After breathing, I suddenly choked. I tried to breathe slowly, but the effort quickly failed. It was because he was walking hard, or because his breathing was rapid.

“Huh, huh.”

Son-bin stopped his steps and breathed harshly. My breath was not disturbed, but I was breathing more quickly.

“What, no.”

I thought I had lost all right. He looks at the back of Saja-hyuk with a heart of resentment, but Saja-hyuk is still walking naturally. Like someone who came out for a leisurely walk.

“Hoo.”

Son Bin scratched his head. As Saja-hyuk says, the attempt to imitate only a few words may be wrong in the first place. However, if you look at the back of the Lion Hyuk ahead, you can’t help thinking naturally without your own knowledge.

‘That was amazing.’

It was great. The dance of the sword under the moonlight still remained in Son-bin’s eyes.

As I walked down the street, and when I ate, I realized that Son Bin was imperceptibly reminded of the method of Sajahyuk. It was shocking for Son Bin.

‘I think what would happen if you were walking or breathing.’

I don’t dare to do anything. But wouldn’t it be possible to just breathe or walk? Son Bin, however, soon shook his head.

‘Arthur. I’m not sure if I’m going to be the only one who is going to be the one who is going to be the one who is going to be the one who is going to be the one who is going to be the one who is going to be the one who is going to be the one who is going to be’

The young man, who was trying to learn the wonderful steps of Handan in the big city, said that he eventually forgot his steps and was unable to walk properly. Trying to imitate Saja-hyuk is just not a fountain for Son-Bin.

After shrugging his shoulders, Son-bin strode back to his feet.

‘By the way, there’s nothing like walking, even if it’s comfortable.’

The sunlight was pouring over the stretch of road. Son Bin walked with a sigh. The back of Saja-hyuk ahead was pushing him.

***

Chwararak.

The Lord, who was covering the entrance to the glass, walked and made a sound. Even if the color was desired, the small beads of the splendor swayed to and fro, but the guest-filled glass attracted no attention.

The sound of the guests ‘ conversation, the sound of the bowl, the sound of music from somewhere, was already filled with the sound of the room.

‘Oh, there’s a lot of people.’

As he entered the room, Son-bin looked slightly agitated. But the mood was not bad. The fact that there are many guests means that this is a good place to stay. The smell of all kinds of food poking out the nose, rather, was stimulating the appetite.

Standing at the entrance to the room, which was moderately noisy, Son-bin looked around to see if there was a seat. However, any place is full of people who have arrived in advance.

‘It’s dinner, isn’t it?’

The room was quite large. The hotel is located in the heart of the city, close to the city center and the city center. In addition, the dinner time overlapped, so that the empty seats in the guest room were almost invisible.

“Oh, there…….”

Son-bin called a passing dot and tried to set it up. However, Dotsoi, who holds food in both hands, whines at a quick pace and passes Son Bin.

When he saw the dotsoi going among the people in shovel time, Son-bin spoke to the other dotsoi.

“Oh, me…….”

“Yes, guests. Wait a minute.”

Son-bin did not look up, but Dotsoi uttered a ritualistic word and disappeared into the kitchen with a quick step.

‘Oh my god.’

Son Bin frowned. But I couldn’t help it because I was so busy. When Son Bin looked around, he gave up trying to call Dotsoy and said there was no empty place somewhere.

Churak.

Another man entered, shaking. It was Lion Hyuk with a large black figure and Powell on his back, a huge body that was very different from the slim Son-bin.

“What are you doing?”

Looking at Son Bin standing in front of the entrance, Sajahyuk said in a bold voice.

“Oh, I think it’s a busy time……”

“Welcome!”

Before Son-bin’s words were finished, he heard the voice of Dotsoy from behind. When Son-bin turned his head, the spruced-up dotsoi was leaning back with a smiling face behind them.

“Are you two?”

“Yes.”

The answer was Saja Hyuk. Dotsoy jabbed and led the two men to an empty seat.

‘Are you?’

Son-bin felt something jarring on his nerves as he looked at Dotsoi, who kindly guided him to his seat, and Saja-hyuk, who silently walked.

‘This is…….’

That was sound. The sound of people’s chatter has decreased significantly around Son Bin.

As Son Bin turned his head and looked around, he encountered a few people. They looked at Son Bin and Sajahyuk without turning their heads. The old man, who was guarding the checkout near the entrance, probably the owner of the guest cup, smiled and bowed his head when he encountered Son Bin.

It was a completely different look from the one just before, when Sun Bin was immersed in calculations without even looking at him.

‘Hah, that’s it.’

Son-bin, noticing the situation, smiled bitter. Then he walked back to the spot where Dotsoy had guided him. Saja-hyuk was already seated, and Dotsoi was listening to the order with a polite attitude.

Dalgrak.

When Son Bin sat down, Dotsoy looked back. While Dotsoi, who is formal, but with a full smile on his face, receives an order from Son Bin, another Dotsoi appears and brings a warm teapot and cool water.

“Why do you do it?”

Saja-hyuk asks if he saw the color of Son-bin’s face. Son-bin smiled bitter.

“No, nothing no. Just…….”

Turning his head, Son-bin looked back at the guest. The loud sound also regains its original size, and the glass is again filled with loud sounds and the smell of food.

“These people live so hard, I thought.”

Saja-hyuk frowns. Maybe it means what it sounds like out of nowhere.

“There are so many people, so there are so many strange guests, right? The pompous muppets, the neat ladies, the sword-wielding muppets, the officers who put up their positions and impose special treatment.”

“So?”

Lifting a warm mug, Sajahyuk asks. Son Bin lifted the teapot and filled his cup with tea. Even in a place full of all kinds of food smells, the warm tea scent slowly bloomed and touched Son Bin’s mood.

“So maybe it’s not for granted, is it? It’s about identifying at a glance what the person who just stepped in is and making the right preparedness. If you’re a nice guest, you can wait a little, but if you’re a wacky bunch of temper, you’ll have to beat it up. So…… Oh, see.”

As soon as Son Bin spoke, a guest entered the guest room. At the same time, the gaze of the owner and shopkeeper of the checkout quickly passed over the guest. It was a brief moment, but it was clear that his gaze was passing.

The guests looked at the cup full of people, and the store and owner were already staring at each other and immersed in their work. It would probably take a little time for the shabby condescending guest to get help from Dotsoy.

“Hmm. Is that so?”

Saja-hyuk said.

“They’re just doing their job. Isn’t it too much to think about that?”

“Well, right? If you had to stand at that entrance and wait……”

“It’s something to wait for. You can’t ask me to create something that’s not there.”

“Is that so?”

Son Bin smiled.

“I’ll make a note of that.”

“At will.”

Saja-hyuk lifted the mug and said, ” Oh, my god.” As if it wasn’t a joke, Son Bin rustled and took out the book, Saja Hyuk said.

“I don’t care about the attitude of the dotsoi who treat me. If you’re rude, fix your habit, and it’s enough. What I care about is…….”

There was a faint smile on Saja-hyuk’s mouth.

“It’s different people.”
