Chapter 30: The Tale Of The Martial Heroes (4)

It all started with the third-generation disciples.

Life as a disciple of the Wudang Sect was arduous.

They rose at dawn to begin the day with Qigong exercises. After Qigong, they engaged in cultivation and training throughout the day.

Young disciples, new to the Wudang Sect, often found themselves too exhausted to even hold chopsticks at dinner.

The pride of the Nine Sects and One Union. The male-dominated Wudang. Becoming a disciple of this sect was not easy.

Therefore, the little sleep they got was precious to the third-generation disciples.

Would anyone dare disturb their sleep? Even the revered Wudang ancestor would face their wrath.

But then, Cheongsong, who had borrowed The Tale of Martial Heroes from Cheongun, caused trouble. He shouted in the middle of the night, waking up the other disciples.

Darn it, who is it?

Whats happening?

Sorry! Just a nightmare.

Cursed Yunhyeon. No, magnificent Yunhyeon. To boldly challenge the ringleader to a duel.

Originally, Cheongsong had intended to read only a bit of The Tale of Martial Heroes before sleeping. But he couldnt sleep without finishing the duel scene.

How could he not cheer at such a cool use of the afterimage technique?

Despite being new to the Wudang Sect, his heart raced at the thrilling scene, and he couldnt help but cheer.

It wasnt that. It sounded like cheering.

Was that guy reading a book?

Hey! Cheongsong screamed while reading erotic fiction!

Shut up! Lets go back to sleep!

As the dormitory of teenage third-generation disciples got noisy, Cheongsong realized the situation was getting out of hand. Everyone was tired, so they eventually went back to sleep, but the real problem came the next day.

What were you reading yesterday?

The next day, Cheongsong faced an inquisition. What should he say? Should he admit it was erotic fiction or erotic art?

Of course, it was a common secret that outside the sect, everyone read erotic novels or looked at erotic art. But admitting to bringing such material into the Wudang Sect was a different matter.

If any of the sleep-deprived third-generation disciples snitched, he would be in serious trouble.

I screamed because the novel Brother Cheongun lent me was so interesting.

Eventually, Cheongsong decided to confess honestly. Cheongun was a model disciple, well-regarded among the third generation.

Among the teenage disciples, the adult Cheongun was an object of respect. If he invoked Cheonguns name, perhaps the situation would resolve more smoothly.

A book Brother Cheongun lent you was interesting? Just admit you were reading erotic fiction. It would be more believable.

One of the disciples looked at Cheongsong with pity. Oops. Cheongsong had forgotten that while Cheongun was respected, his taste in books was not.

No, really! Ive never seen a novel like this before!

Cheongsong showed The Tale of Martial Heroes, which he had hidden, to the other disciples.

The Tale of Martial Heroes? Doesnt look like erotic fiction.

Wow, look at this trashy book. Where did Brother Cheongun even find this?

Really, you screamed because Brother Cheonguns book was that interesting?

The third-generation disciples started to murmur among themselves.

If you dont believe me, Ill finish reading this book today and then lend it to someone. Its truly amazing!

Cheongsong was convinced that anyone who read it would have the same reaction as him.

It looks boring

Has Cheongsongs taste in books become weird after spending time with Brother Cheongun?

Most of the third-generation disciples were skeptical about The Tale of Martial Heroes, which Cheongun had found interesting.

But in the monotonous life of a Wudang Sect disciple, some were searching for a new thrill.

Fine. After youre done, Ill give it a read.

One of the disciples raised his hand.

Me next!

If the first two say its interesting, Ill read it too.

Dont waste your time on nothing.

Just reading it seems to invite sleep.

Some third-generation disciples hesitated, but several began reserving their turn to read The Tale of Martial Heroes.

No, I should return it after lending it to one person Oh, never mind. Ill lend it to everyone.

Cheongun had read it a lot anyway. It should be fine. Cheongsong quickly changed his mind as he noticed the changing expressions of the disciples.

And Cheongsong!New novel chapters are published on

Yeah?

Youre cleaning the latrines alone today.



Your minds have been distracted by such frivolous literature. Everyone, to the training field now!

Understood!

The third-generation disciples rushed to the training field.

The future of Wudang is indeed brightso bright.

One of the second-generation disciples sighed as he watched the younger disciples depart.

What is this book that so many copies are found among the third-generation disciples?

Just some trivial book. Lets burn it later.

Hmm I need to check it out first. Ill burn it this evening.

You have too much free time on your hands. Yes, well burn it later.

Nobody could have foreseen the ripple effect that the decision of one second-generation disciple would have.



A few days later, at the training field where the second-generation disciples of the Wudang Sect gathered.

Thats not how the Bagua Sword Technique should start!

One of the second-generation disciples, drawing his sword, demonstrated as he spoke.

The second-generation disciples had also succumbed to the allure of The Tale of Martial Heroes.

Oblivious to their earlier scolding of the third-generation disciples, they now began discussing the plot of The Tale of Martial Heroes.

The Wudang sword is based on flexible strength. You cant just swing it randomly.

The sword technique seeks diversity. It must be adaptable.

The third-generation disciples consisted of teenagers and young adults, while the second-generation disciples were transitioning into middle age. Engrossed in the book, they began discussing the Bagua Sword Technique featured in the story.

Tsk tsk. You havent read The Tale of Martial Heroes properly. This is why you cant argue with someone who has only read it once

What! Did I say something wrong?

Its a technique that starts with Wudangs Taiji and seeks diversity. Should you be moving so clumsily?

The fifth-generation grandmaster created it for the common folk. Of course, you should draw first to subdue villains! When will you have time to react to each enemy?

My friend, I didnt expect this from you I need to show you my understanding of the Bagua Sword Technique!

Come on! Ill show you with my Bagua Sword Technique!



A month later, the grandmaster of Wudang noticed the unsettled atmosphere in the sect.

What in the world is this!

The current Wudang grandmaster, Taoist Hyun Cheon, exploded with anger in the Heavenly Palace before the elders.

A mere trivial book () is disrupting the training of the great Wudang!

To think that Wudangs Taoist practitioners were gossiping over a trivial book instead of discussing the Tao was lamentable for the leader of Wudang.

At Taoist Hyun Cheons outburst, the Wudang elders remained silent. By now, there were hardly any disciples in Wudang who hadnt read The Tale of Martial Heroes.

Calling it a trivial book () is a bit harsh.

One of the elders, who had secretly read The Tale of Martial Heroes borrowed from a disciple, spoke up in defense against the grandmaster.

Because of such a book, all the disciples have become lax lately! The Wudang disciples, who should be setting an example, are neglecting the sword techniques they should be mastering and are instead talking about this nonsensical Bagua Sword Technique!

Its not fanciful. Although there were no detailed descriptions of the sword techniques, what was written in the book was indeed Wudang swordsmanship.

Elder!! Are you defending the swordsmanship in that fanciful book? Have you been swayed by that trivial book ()?

Im saying its not a trivial book ().

Even the elder is defending the book. The problem is that our disciples are reading such fanciful stories!! How can the disciples of Wudang indulge in such baseless tales!!

The book is not fanciful. In fact, after reading The Tale of Martial Heroes, some disciples have been more diligent in their training. Its certainly not a trivial book.

If its not a trivial book, then what, a remarkable book ()?! Meeting a demon on great Mount Wudang and then falling off a cliff to discover the corpse of the previous grandmaster. Where in the world is such nonsense believable!!

How do you, grandmaster, happen to know so much about it?

As the elders looked at him with suspicion, the grandmaster awkwardly coughed and continued.

Anyway!! Confiscate all the trivial books in Wudang!! Educate the disciples who talk about that book. Any disciple who continues discussing the book will be sent to the punishment hall!!

The grandmaster bellowed and intimidated the elders.

Some elders were displeased with the grandmasters edict but could not openly challenge his authority.

This is serious!!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, one of the second-generation disciples burst into the meeting in the palace, throwing the door wide open. It was a disrespectful gesture, but his urgent expression prompted the grandmaster to ask for an explanation.

Whats the matter? Has a demon appeared?

What could be so urgent that someone would burst in unannounced?

Could it be the appearance of a demon or perhaps a public enemy of the martial world? Maybe an old monster from the evil sects or a lustful devil had emerged.

Or was there some dire calamity in the martial world?

Both the grandmaster and the elders hung on the second-generation disciples words.

Its not that!! The third-generation disciple Cheongun has discovered the corpse and secret manual of the 8th-generation grandmaster while exploring the cliffs of Mount Wudang!
