Episode 1367 Do you know what shame is? (2)
“Death penalty.”
“hmm?”
Lee Ja-yang, who was running along with the Hwasan group ahead of her, asked Gwak Hwan-so next to her vaguely.
“Did you understand the conversation they had earlier?”
Kwak Hwan-so’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, Lee Ja-yang said something that was not even asked.
“Honestly, I don’t really understand. From what I heard, while they were coming to Haenam, didn’t they help the villagers who were in danger of losing their lives to the Sapa bastards?”
“It seemed like that.”
“So in the end, this means that even though the villagers received such great blessings, they did not give even a grain of grain?”
“I guess so…”
Lee Ja-yang looked ahead as if she didn’t understand what was happening. These are the blind warriors running ahead.
“But how can you be so calm? “You just say things that don’t make any sense.”
A look of frustration was evident on Lee Ja-yang’s face. Seeing this, Kwak Hwan-so asked quietly.
“What would you have done?”
“yes? What is that….”
“What do you think you would have done if you were in the position of the volcano people?”
Lee Ja-yang frowned and then answered.
“…If it were me, I would have paid Chidogon.”
His voice became secretly angry, as if he was angry just imagining it.
“Don’t people need to know grace to be human? “How can we call people human when they say they are grateful and say they have no way to repay the favor, but in reality they refuse to give up even a single thing they have?”
“He is like that too.”
“Isn’t the difference between humans and animals is that they know grace? They are grateful when they receive it, but when they actually need to help, they turn a blind eye as if they never did anything like that. “People like that don’t deserve help!”
Kwak Hwan-so did not express any particular agreement, but simply nodded his head slowly as if he understood your opinion.
“Isn’t it the death penalty?”
When Lee Ja-yang asked, Kwak Hwan-so thought deeply for a moment and then laughed.
“I guess I did too. “As you know, it would be impossible for me to tolerate something like that due to my temperament.”
“Yes?”
Miss Lee nods as if it were obvious. As if he wasn’t strange.
“But… I don’t know. Do you think they would have felt differently from us? “We were only imagining it, but they experienced it themselves, so they would have been more angry, not less.”
“Of course.”
“And um… as you know, their temperament doesn’t seem to be much gentler than ours.”
At those words, Lee Ja-yang’s face suddenly distorted.
Honestly, it was worth it. Now, there is no one who would not admit that they are true Taoists, but when I first saw them at the World Feudal Martial Arts Tournament, they were just rabble-rousers.
In particular, that assistant manager, Jang Moon, was just fine, but he was so crazy that he was one of the most crazy people Lee Ja-yang had ever seen in her life.
I still vividly remember when we rushed in and a fight broke out. Aren’t those people the ones who turned a blind eye and rushed at their faction just because they were criticized? Not even anywhere else, but in Shaolin.
‘But why are you holding back now!’
I understand that due to the circumstances, it would not have been possible to make a big deal or take time. But it wouldn’t have been that difficult to leave a few sharp words.
At that time, Kwak Hwan-so spoke softly.
“I heard there is a saying in Taoism like this.”
“yes?”
“If you call the Tao the Tao, it is no longer the Tao.”
Miss Lee frowned. What kind of nonsense is that again?
“As the saying goes, the moment you call grace grace, it is no longer grace. “It means that the moment you say that you have to repay me because I gave it to you, it is no longer a sincere grace.”
“Huh…”
Lee Ja-yang laughed as if it was ridiculous.
Does that make sense?
Those who conduct consultations are also people. How can a person continue to work for nothing and risk his life for something worthless?
Isn’t the reason young warriors with many dreams dream of becoming a hero? It’s because they want to make their name known throughout the world and become heroes through that journey.
“So you’re saying that even if you don’t receive a favor in return and are even treated with contempt, you should take it for granted?”
“….”
“Then who on earth would do that?”
“They do it.”
For a moment, Lee Ja-yang was speechless. I could only stare blankly at the people running silently in front of me.
“Of course, they are humans too, so they can’t feel just as good. “But they seem to think that one sack of grain is sufficient compensation.”
“Are they crazy…”
Kwak Hwan-so laughed at Lee Ja-yang’s overly honest and raw reaction.
His thoughts are not that different from Lee Ja-yang’s. But I had a vague idea why they thought that way.
“They don’t want to get back what they gave right away, but they hope that someone who receives it through their giving will also be someone who can give without receiving anything in return.”
“Does that make sense?”
“Can we do it right now? We just keep doing it endlessly. Then, little by little, there will be people who understand what it means.”
Lee Ja-yang shook her head with a slightly tired expression.
I understand what you mean, but this is a very difficult path. Even if there are strong warriors standing right in front of you, people are reluctant to give up what they have, so how can they change?
“I think it’s a meaningless dream.”
Lee Ja-yang spat out something ridiculed.
“It’s a grandiose package, but if you look at the conclusion, isn’t it like you were kicked out with only a small bag of grain in return for saving dozens of lives?”
“….”
“The person who gave me that grain was just doing it to save face. Do you really think that I am grateful? People don’t change that easily. You also know about the death penalty, right? “How awful people are and only know themselves.”
Guo Huanxiao nodded slowly.
They know it well because they have lived facing rough seas. How selfish people can be when their lives and livelihoods are at stake.
“I’m not ignoring them, but if you think that one sack of grain has changed anything, you’re just looking away to find comfort. “Nothing will change.”
“…okay. “That might be right.”
“Do you think it’s not the death penalty?”
“Actually, I think you’re right.”
Kwak Hwan-so laughed bitterly.
I am not denying that the path they are trying to take is wrong, but the world is not an easy place. Moreover, the civilians are not that simple. In fact, since you don’t have anything, you may be even more selfish.
Kwak Hwan-so looked at Cheongmyeong’s back as he ran ahead. The blood he had shed had dried on Cheongmyeong’s clothes, which were so messed up that even the word ‘rags’ was not enough.
‘What you are trying to do may be more difficult than placing the entire world at the foot of a volcano.’
And it will probably be in vain. Because it is nothing more than a penance that will not even receive a reward. But…
“Nevertheless, I want to believe that they are not wrong.”
“…yes?”
“I just want to do that.”
Kwak Hwan-so muttered softly and kicked the ground.

“Horrible…”
Bai Fei’s face distorted.
Bai Fei, who is the guard of the Hu family name and is like a limb, has tortured countless people and extracted information from their mouths.
The reason why the Ten Thousand Islands are more afraid of the soldier, Ho Ga-myeong, than the ark owner, Jang Il-so, is largely due to the work he has done under the water.
If caught in his hands, even if he was a strong-willed guy, just one tip was enough to make him open his mouth. If only one side were left to manipulate a human being, he could be made to remember not only the moment he first walked, but even his baby days.
It was no task for Baekbi to make even a powerless civilian open his mouth. No, it wasn’t just an angle, it was enough to take a few breaths.
It had to be that way, obviously.
However, Baekbi’s eyes as he looked at the person who had fallen in front of him were full of exhaustion. Even when he saw the blood, pus, and filth pouring out in front of his eyes, his always calm eyes slightly wavered.
“How…”
A voice like a sigh came out.
In fact, it was difficult to call the person who fell in front of him a person anymore. It collapsed, almost covered in blood, and was unable to struggle or even wriggle as it seemed to have almost no strength.
It is clearly still alive. Because the red-stained chest is rising and falling faintly. But it seemed clear that there wasn’t much left.
Baekbi gritted his teeth. As I thought about it, I wanted to pulverize the body of that bastard alive because he didn’t confess. But it is impossible to torture any more than this. Now, just putting my finger on it makes me suffocate.
We failed to get information from that guy. Absolutely.
“Huh…”
At that time, a small sound, not sure whether it was a sigh or a laugh, escaped from the guy’s mouth. Baek Fei gritted his teeth and went to Hu Jiaming and bowed his head.
“…sorry.”
Hu Jiaming looked at him in silence for a moment and said in confusion,
“That’s strange.”
“….”
“Did you consider the situation?”
“…Not really. “I don’t think there was anything lacking.”
“Then that means the author is amazing. “Even you, who made prominent warriors cry like children, couldn’t open that bastard’s mouth.”
For a moment, a look of resentment flashed across Baekbi’s face.
Even the loser who ruled a region, the vicious Madou, and the murderer who killed countless people could not keep silent in front of his torture.
However, one giant worm in a remote mountainous region finally overcame his torture. How on earth should I explain this situation?
Jerk.
As Hu Jiaming took a step forward, Bai Fei moved to the side and lowered his head. Ho Ga-myeong walked at a not-so-fast pace and coldly looked down at Hyeong-wook, who was still breathing.
“Why are you holding on like this?”
As expected, there was no answer. Hu Jiaming lowered his body and whispered into the gaping hole where his ear should have been.
“Don’t you want to be comfortable? Even if you owe them favor, they have already left. “We will never have to face each other again.”
“….”
“You just need to look away for a moment. Then I will heal all your wounds and give you a huge amount of goods as well. “This is the first time I’ve ever promised someone something like this in exchange for information.”
“….”
“That means I acknowledge you. You have done enough. “Even if you open your mouth now, no one in the world will dare criticize you.”
Surprisingly, Hu Jiaming’s words were sincere. He was truly admiring the person in front of him.
“Even if you die here, no one will notice. No one thinks you are that great. “In the end, everything can be achieved only if you are alive.”
“….”
“Now this is the last one. Answer me. Just tell me where they went and I’ll cure you immediately and promise you status and wealth that no one would dare ignore. And I will save everyone in the village too. “I promise all of this in the name of the Military Reading Mind Rakshachal of the Sapaeryun.”
Hu Jiaming’s voice sweetly pierced Hyeongwook’s ears.
“But if you refuse, you and no one here will survive. And even the people you risked your life to protect will not know that you died here so miserably. “You sure don’t want to die so worthlessly, do you?”
“….”
“So….”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes shone coldly.
“Answer me. “Where did they go?”
At that moment, a faint sound came out of Hyeongwook’s mouth. The sound is so quiet that it is difficult to even hear the unmanned person’s nickname.
“Please be more precise.”
Hu Jiaming put his ear close to his mouth.
Hyeong-wook’s lips parted and thick blood flowed out. A sound that seemed as if it would break at any moment came out of my open mouth.
“…uh.”
“which? again.”
“….”
“Say it clearly. hurry.”
A fleeting look of triumph flashed across Hu Jiaming’s face.
Considering that he rarely showed emotion on his face, it was easy to guess the joy that must have passed through his heart.
While everyone was holding their breath, Hyeong-wook’s voice finally flowed into Ho Ga-myeong’s ear, which was close to him.
“…Fuck…or…eat….”
There was silence for a moment.
Hu Jiaming’s face gradually distorted like a demon.
“this…!”
Hu Jiaming’s fist, loaded with energy, hit Hyungwook hard on the head.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
