return of the blossoming blade's nurture

Chapter 4:HOW FAR!?

-*past*-

"Sajo, why do you teach the Equilibrium of Six to your students? It's useless anyway. Everyone in the sect hated that technique." Chung Myung said, lazing around in his Sajo's room while picking up a freshly baked mooncakes that his Sajo baked.

The woman sighed and put her brush down on the table. She locked eyes with Chung Myung, who was busily eating the mooncakes she'd baked for herself and him. Chung Myung stopped for a moment and put the mooncakes down, and chuckled to her. She has Chung Myung attention now.

"If I tell you the reason, promised that you won't start another fight will your sajae or sajil about the technique?"

"What do you think? I am Chung Myung, I'm not going to hit a person when someone dont agree with me!"

The woman blankly stared at Chung Myung as to show she doubted Chung Myung's statement.

"The only person you dont hit when disagree is me and probably Jangmun Sahyung, I hope you realize that..." said the woman in a monotone voice.

"Well, I guess you're right about me hitting others and not you... . But that's beside the point, I would obviously not hit you because you are the one who raised and cared for me..." he looked away while slightly blushing Chung Myung said.

She looked at Chung Myung with fond expression like a mother looking at her child being cute.

"I will tell you the reason, but you must not defend for me when someone complaining and insulting about my teachings to them, though you probably going to hit them instead."

"Yeah." Chung Myung nodded vigorously.

The woman chuckled.

"It will be a bit lengthy, so let's talk with some drinks over. I know you wanted the alcohol, so you wanted to use me and you wont get into trouble spotted drinking outside."

"Of course!"

-*end of past*-

Alcohol was his original goal from the start. Having his Sajo talk about Equilibrium of Six was a plus point- he just like hearing her voice. *COUGH* I'm a good son. I always have filial piety for her anywhere.

"Equilibrium of Six"-unity. The unity of Earth and Sky and the four cardinal directions-East, West, North, and South. Six.

"The Equilibrium of Six is the world, and the world is the Equilibrium of Six." Said his Sajo.

It sure had a nice ring to it.

So, what exactly does the mean in martial arts?

'It's like one of those worthless items that get tossed out of illegal stores for chump change.' It wasnt cheap, but people considered it cheap. It was the cheapest martial arts technique in the world, sold for a price anyone could afford. In short: it's cheap.

"I'll explain it to you. The Equilibrium of Six is considered the first thing you should buy from the bookstore to learn martial arts. Even if you dont follow it, you would end up learning the same thing by self-education."

"Right."

In fact, when Chung Myung was very active, the Equilibrium of Six, Right of Deliberation, and the Three Swords were famous.By the time Chung Myung was know a one of the greatest swordsmen of the third generation, the basic techniques of martial arts had revolved around Tai Chi.

How did he know? His Sajo went exploring and brought back those books. She practically broke the traditions by introducing these books in Mount Hua.

"As you know, it's hard enough to put these techniques as introductory of Mount Hua Sect. I need a lot of convincing to the Great Previous Sect Leader and face a lot of hates for this. But, I manage to pulled through.As a result, all those who entered Mount Hua were instructed on the Equilibrium of Six because it could cleanse anyone's body of impurities. Therefore, it makes your body healthier and helps you in the long run. Downside to it, it does not make your inner Qi stronger."
