Episode 1111 Can I do well? (1)
Although it is easy to overlook in most cases, the concept of ‘normal’ is not absolute in the first place.
When calling someone a normal person, it implies that the other person is a person who does not significantly deviate from the social and cultural perceptions to which he or she belongs.
This means that even if you are considered a normal person in some places, if you end up alone in a place where completely different people live, you can be called a strange person.
And now, Namgung Dowi was painfully aware of that fact.
‘Am I wrong?’
It may have been like that in the past, but now I am confident that I am not a person with strong opinions. However, it was not easy for even Namgung Dowi to accept what was happening right before his eyes.
No, no matter how much you think about it, it’s not his fault.
Who in the world could imagine something like this?
Hwasan’s disciple is climbing on top of Dang Gaju’s son and rotating his chin with his fist. Hwasan’s female swordsman is mercilessly breaking Dang Gaju’s arm.
No, let’s just say it goes that far. Things like that happen, too. If you have a big heart like Hahae, you might think, ‘Well, that’s possible.’ You might understand it easily.
However, if a Buddhist monk stamping his feet on the face of a Tang family member and a female swordsman from Tang family stabbing his brothers with a sword, these people will have no choice but to change their opinions.
uh? It’s like there’s no one there…
“Step on it! Step on it!”
“Kill me!”
“Aaaahhh!”
Oh my, Yoonjong’s dojo. Why are you being stepped on there? Oh my goodness. You got stepped on so excitedly…
Namgung Do-wi, who was looking at the scene in front of him with eyes full of disbelief, soon closed his eyes tightly. After seeing a pure white weasel wearing a volcano black uniform jump up and slap a Tang family man on the face, I didn’t want to think about it anymore.
‘What will happen to the world?’
The loser of Shaanxi and the loser of Sichuan were facing off on the Yangtze River.
If you just listen to it, it sounds like a really grandiose and great thing, but in reality, there were a lot of black swords… no, a lot of black swords were hit, and it was no different from back alley gangsters grabbing each other and fighting with each other.
Namgungse, who had been pushed to a corner of the training ground to avoid that cruel(?) and terrible fight, watched the gang fight as if they were looking at something rare.
“The volcano definitely has good physical strength.”
“There was a perception that the party was weak in a melee, but that wasn’t necessarily true. “If it becomes such a melee in the first place, it’s not easy to avoid the poison.”
“For that matter, the Hwasan people fight well?”
“You were trained by a person who is more poisonous than the party poison.”
“Oh, that’s right. understood.”
Don’t understand! Why do you understand that!
As time goes by, the Namgung family seems to be getting more and more strange. In the past, people would have frowned at that sight, thinking it was ugly, but now they are truly admiring it and even applauding it.
But what would Nangong Daowi say? The person who brought them to Cheonwoomaeng in the first place and put them in this situation(?) was none other than Namgung Dowi.
“Oh no. “Is it really okay to do that?”
Although it is a bitter evaluation for him, it is difficult for the current Namgung family to be compared to those two schools. Anyone who knows Cheonwoo Meng would consider those two sects to be the core of Cheonwoo Meng.
However, the two core factions are now fighting with each other.
‘If I do this, won’t I just build up bad feelings?’
It was difficult to understand what this practice meant. But the bigger problem was that there was no way to stop the Cheongmyeong or Tang military evil. So the only way left is…
“Over there…”
“Yes?”
“That…”
Nangung Do-wi swallowed dry saliva and looked at Lim So-byeong. Unlike Namgung Do-wi, Lim So-byeong, who was leisurely observing the situation with an attitude of ‘nothing happens in this corner of the house, is surprising’, slightly raised his chin and made eye contact.
“Why are you doing that?”
Nangong Daowi’s expression became extremely awkward.
He also understands. In Cheonwoomaeng, there are no boundaries between factions or distinctions between Jeong and Sa. The fact is that anyone who can trust each other with one mind can come into the fence of Cheonwoomaeng.
And Noklim proved himself worthy of becoming a proud member of the Cheonwoomaeng. In the first place, the moment Lim So-byeong, the leader of Green Forest, risked his life to join the fight against the Demon Cult, no one could doubt his true intentions.
‘I know… I definitely know that.’
Even if I understood it mentally, talking to Lim So-byeong did not become easy.
In the first place, he was the head of the Namgung family. I have lived my life without once thinking that the day would come when I would speak to the head of Sapa in a friendly way. To him, the Green Forest King was nothing more or less than a scapegoat who would one day have to cut off his head and destroy his name.
No, that is correct. What kind of people are Nokrim in the first place? A leech-like bastard that occupies a healthy mountain and sucks the blood of the civilians who come and go…
“Sogaju.”
“yes?”
“Now… it seems like you’re calling someone over and swearing with your eyes?”
“Is that possible?”
Namgung Dowi is the son of a famous family. He was a rare person in the Cheonwoomaeng community who understood the bare minimum of courtesy. He calmed down and said what he wanted to say.
“Well… shouldn’t we just calm down a little?”
“What are you doing?”
“yes?”
Lim So-byeong shrugged his shoulders as if he was annoyed.
“Cheongmyeong Dojo will take care of it. “The Lord of the House is also there.”
“Oh no. “I know that, but I’m afraid that if I do that, it will only build up bad feelings.”
“Hoo?”
At that moment, Lim So-byeong looked at Namgung Do-wi with meaningful eyes.
“Ah, so you have the insight to see further than the Hwasan Sword Association and the Poison King?”
“yes?”
“So you are the only one who knows what they don’t know and are now telling them what to do? “And to avoid any inconvenience over there, would you like to use me, who has some status, as a messenger?”
“Now, just a moment…”
Nangong Daowi was visibly embarrassed. Is this something that can be interpreted that way?
“In other words, those two are very uncomfortable, but the bandit leader is so easy?”
“…I didn’t say that!”
“iced coffee. “The bandit leader in front of you is so stupid that you wouldn’t even notice unless he spoke directly to you?”
“….”
Is it possible for a person to be this twisted?
‘Was he originally like this?’
When we went to Gangnam together, he complained a lot, so I thought he was very smart and well-disciplined…
This reaction seemed strange even to the Green Foresters, so one bandit tilted his head and secretly asked Lim So-byeong.
“boss. Why are you so upset? “I don’t think I said anything I couldn’t say.”
“There’s nothing you can’t say.”
“yes?”
“Is it the person who spoke that is the problem?”
The bandit who spoke to Lim So-byeong glanced at Namgung Do-wi.
“…Is there some problem?”
“problem? There’s no problem over there. “The problem lies with me!”
“…no. What do you mean? I keep…”
“Why?”
At that moment, Lim So-byeong glares at the bandit with his eyes glaring.
“why? “Do you think I, who was born into a family of bandits and tried to make a name for myself by taking the civil service exam, failed, and ended up living as a bandit, because I was twisted in my stomach when I saw the young master who was born into a prestigious family and lives well?”
“….”
“Haha! That’s not even funny! I am not jealous at all! Of course, no matter how much I try to recite the principles of public service, I am nothing more than a bandit, and even if that guy beats up an innocent guy on the street and kills him, after looking at his status and face, I think, ‘Ah, the dead guy must have done something deadly.’ He’s a guy who lives a comfortable life and moves on, but I don’t envy him at all. “What’s wrong with me that I envy that guy?”
“…Take a breath and speak.”
Not only the Green Forest Islands, but even the Namgung family became solemn for some reason.
Once Lim So-byeong opened his mouth, his mouth did not stop.
“Oh my, I thought wrong. It’s my fault. A precious person entrusts me with a task, but a lowly bastard must somehow carry out the order! “How can I go and tell it now?”
Maybe it would end up being a little awkward like that.
At this point, it would have been the same if Namgung Dowi had simply apologized for being short-minded. Of course, Namgung Dowi was willing to do that and actually tried to apologize right away.
But isn’t it true that things in this world rarely go as planned, and that it always spreads from a small fire to a big one in no time?
“You take it too crookedly.”
Nangong Dowi was startled by the voice coming from behind and turned around.
One of the swordsmen of the royal family of Namgung, who was standing behind, looked at Lim So-byeong with an expression of disapproval and blurted out something.
“It’s so twisted.”
“Shut your mouth…”
Namgung Dowi hurriedly tried to cover the swordsman’s mouth. Contrary to appearances, Lim So-byeong is the king of green forests. Even so, a mere warrior from the Namgung family is not someone who can speak that easily.
But before he could finish speaking, someone caught him.
“Are you twisted?”
“…!”
This time, Namgung Dowi’s head turned in the opposite direction. A grim-looking Nokrimdo, who was standing behind Lim So-byeong, spat on the floor.
“oh my. It seems like you have no ups and downs because there is nothing difficult in life. “What little bastard is teasing the King of Green Forest?”
“what? Do you think these bandits can handle horses?”
“bandit? Oh no, I am a bandit. So what about you? It looks like you still think you are the old Namgung family, right? “If it weren’t for the volcano, people like you would have been beaten to death long ago.”
“Oh yeah? who? You guys? You’re not saying that people like you can do that, are you? “You bandits should know the subject.”
“Who doesn’t know the topic?”
The Namgungse swordsmen grabbed the handle of the sword and moved slowly. Then the Green Foresters also came out threateningly, clutching the swords on their belts.
“Consider yourself lucky. “If it weren’t for Cheonwoo-maeng here, you would all be dead.”
“Who cares! “If the Cheongmyeong Dojo had not been using you as servants, we would have suppressed you ourselves.”
“what? bell? “They abandoned their families and ran away here!”
“what? escape? “The bandit is talking nonsense about that being an open mouth?”
The atmosphere became extremely ugly.
This was when Namgung Dowi, who was embarrassed, hurriedly tried to stop everyone.
“Oh good. atmosphere.”
“Che Cheongmyeong seal!”
The clear light that had suddenly appeared was slowly approaching. He glanced at Nokrim, who was holding a sword, and Namgung, who was holding a sword, and frowned sharply. Namgung Dowi took a step forward to stop the storm.
“I’ll take care of this….”
“It just worked out well.”
“yes?”
Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders.
“No need to explain, if you created the atmosphere in advance, you did a good job. “You guys were bored just looking at that anyway, right?”
“….”
“But there is one thing I don’t like.”
“Uh, what…”
“But my name is Namgungse and my name is Nokchae, so if I’m dissatisfied, I have to cut or punch. “Why are you talking about it when you leave a good knife behind?”
“yes?”
Cheongmyeong leaned back and gestured.
“See it over there? “There’s a fight over there.”
“…yes.”
“Oh, it’s no different. Whoever stands last today gets the day off tomorrow. “The loser will play until dawn.”
“….”
“Start on your own. “The winner comes to report.”
“Now just a moment. Cheongmyeong seal? Cheongmyeong seal!”
After finishing what he had to say, Cheongmyeong walked away without even looking back.
Namgung Dowi, who had been staring blankly at the back, looked back with a bloodshot face.
Nokrimdo, holding his sword, approached the Namgung family with a wide smile, and the swordsmen of the Namgung family were looking at them as if they were laughing at them.
“Hey, I didn’t want to do this. really.”
“It was unintentionally rude.”
“I can’t help it. “There are no hard feelings at all.”
Rather swear.
“Did you hear everything? Today, let’s show those saenims how scary Kangho is!”
“Tell me clearly what happens to the bandits when they come down from the mountain!”
Even so, it was a moment when Namgoong and Noklim, who had always been unwelcome to each other, vented all their dissatisfaction and rushed at each other.
