Episode 1107 I get goosebumps at least once. (2)
The party leader looked blankly at his hand. The empty spoon was twitching twelve times per second in the air.
‘Hehe…’
His eyes were half dead as the light went out.
When I looked around, I saw the brothers who had given up on eating with their hands and were putting their faces into their bowls.
I can’t survive without eating, and it’s impossible to eat with my hands, so I just throw everything away to save my reputation and somehow ‘stuff’ food in my mouth.
‘Physical strength…’
At this moment, Tang Pai completely understood why Qingming said that physical strength was essential for Tang family martial arts.
What kind of person would throw away a memorization with hands that can’t even eat right away?
It is not wrong to say that Tang family martial arts requires sophistication. However, that sophistication can only be demonstrated based on strong physical strength that does not waver in any situation.
How sophisticated can a person who can’t even control his own hands be?
‘I know, but…’
I remember what Baekcheon said to him before.
When Cheongmyeong saw Baekcheon swearing at him every time he opened his mouth, the gangpae was puzzled and asked. I think the Cheongmyeong seal is saying the right thing, so why are you so angry? At that time, Baekcheon clearly answered like this.
– …you will know when you experience it later.
okay. Now I understand. I know it painfully.
Since they say the right things, there is no room for resistance. But if I just shut up and follow what they tell me, I’m going to die right now.
The problem is that if you protest here, you will end up like a half-hearted idiot who loses the party and doesn’t work hard. Who would have imagined that pushing for a cause could be so scary?
“Fuck….”
“Damn it….”
Constant moaning sounds came out of the mouths of the people in the party.
‘I wondered why the volcano became so strong. If you train like this, it won’t take a few years to catch a rabbit or a tiger.’
“Brother tongue. “Aren’t you really going to die like this?”
“Don’t worry. “You won’t die.”
“How do you know?”
“Look over there.”
“yes?”
“You’re not dead, are you?”
Tang Zan raised his head and looked at the direction indicated by the party flag. There, dead people with black faces were half-lolled on chairs, just staring blankly at the food in front of them.
“…Why aren’t you eating it?”
“I see you threw up everything you ate for breakfast.”
“….”
“I didn’t know either. “I never thought the matriarch would be so excited.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that in my life.”
“I’m so glad.”
“yes? What?”
“This is the first time we’ve seen something like that… It’s better not to see it.”
Tanggunak met water.
It seemed as if he was a ghost who died out of resentment for not being able to throw the rain sword, and whenever he saw people in Hwasan, he threw the rain sword as a greeting. Of course, just because he threw it as a greeting, there was no way that the recipients could have accepted it as a greeting.
Hwasan’s disciples, who felt their lives threatened dozens of times a day, were drying out so much that it was obvious to the naked eye.
‘That’s what they’re talking about when the vitality drains from the body.’
Dangpae put down his spoon and sighed.
“But aren’t we in a better position? So, let’s not whine.”
“…Didn’t you hear?”
“what?”
“…After the morning training, Cheongmyeong Dojang said, ‘You’ve finally got the basics. “Then you say, ‘Now let’s increase the intensity and try to do it properly.’”
“That crazy bird…. Hehehehehe!”
Dangpae quickly cleared his throat and cut off the words that were coming out of his mouth.
‘no. What…’
At this point, aren’t Qingmyeong and Tanggunak competing to see who can harass the other’s disciples better? In the fight between the two whales, the shrimp’s backs are exploding.
“…They say that doing what you know is the most difficult thing in the world.”
Tangpae sighed heavily and suddenly looked at Hwasan’s disciples with warm eyes.
“Still, I’m so glad we have them.”
“yes?”
“…Imagine if only the Tang family had suffered like this. “Wouldn’t there have been ten times more dissatisfaction by now?”
“That…is that right?”
Dangjang nodded.
There was nothing to do other than predict it. Just a few days ago, voices criticizing Hwasan and Cheongmyeong had been flowing non-stop, but after Tang Gunak began to personally capture Hwasan disciples, those words were completely drowned out.
And instead of subtle hostility, a sense of comradeship began to emerge.
In any case, aren’t they also colleagues suffering the same pain and who have been receiving the training they are receiving now?
“If you carry your luggage together, it becomes a little lighter.”
“…Isn’t it just that the burden has increased?”
“Let’s just say that’s the case.”
Tang Pai looked at Hwasan’s disciples with strange eyes.
‘Did the head of the family or the Cheongmyeong dojo even have this in mind?’
If you think about it, the close relationship between the Tang family and Hwasan was a bit of an illusion.
In fact, the closest ones are Hyeonjong and Tanggunak, and Qingmyeong and Tanggunak.
Since they represent the Hwasan and Tang families, it would not be wrong to say that the relationships between the sects were close, but in fact, there was no significant exchange between the members of each sect.
It wasn’t like they were reluctant to each other, but that didn’t mean they were close enough to have a private conversation.
‘In other words, if the current leadership steps down, the relationship between Hwasan and the party will not be the same.’
Dangpae may try to maintain its relationship with Hwasan, but no matter how much you think about it, it is difficult for Dangpae to become an imperial family head like Tanggunak. So in the end, there is no way not to listen to other people’s opinions.
However, if the current situation is repeated, a sense of comradeship will arise between Hwasan and the party, and not only the leadership but also members may maintain good relationships with each other.
‘So are these two people volunteering to play villains?’
Perhaps the leadership is drawing a bigger picture that he cannot see. The party leader who thought so nodded without realizing it.
Tang Zan, who did not know the thoughts of such party defeat, said with a tearful face.
“…How about afternoon training?”
“Stop crying. “Don’t you give me time to sleep?”
“Sleeping doesn’t mean you can recover from all your fatigue. These days, even if I try to pray, my body doesn’t feel any lighter. “It feels like I’m carrying a piece of metal on my shoulder?”
Dangpae, who heard those words, nodded and looked at Dangzan.
“That’s the key.”
“…yes?”
“From now on, we will have to go through a war, not a short battle. “You understand that, right?”
“yes.”
Danjan nodded.
“War is not concluded overnight. Everyone must have felt that during the Maehwa Island incident. “If it’s as short as a few days, if it’s as long as several months, the daily routine of fighting without being able to rest or sleep properly may continue.”
“….”
“Look.”
Dangjan turned his head at Dangpae’s words. The people of the Tang family were still dying without being able to eat properly.
“Over there too.”
Tang Zhan’s eyes widened slightly as he turned his head in accordance with Tang Pae’s words. Apparently, the people of Hwasan, who had been lying like corpses just a moment ago, had suddenly regained their energy and were shoveling food into their mouths.
“Do you understand what it would be like if we were sent into war in this condition?”
“…Yes, brother. “I probably won’t be able to use even half of my skills.”
“That’s also wrong.”
“yes?”
“Skills that cannot be demonstrated are not skills in the first place. That’s just an excuse. “Only the power that can be fully demonstrated in actual combat can be called skill.”
“….”
“If you think like that, everything in the world will change. The public assessment that the Tang family is ahead of the Hwasan in terms of military power is also incorrect. “Now we are not as good as them.”
“Brother tongue. “That’s…”
Dangpae looked back at Dangzan with cold eyes.
“why? “Do you also want to elevate yourself by taking advantage of the judgment of people who only look at appearances?”
“….”
“After seeing the Namgung family, who were considered stronger than us, suffer so miserably?”
“It’s not like that, brother.”
The party leader nodded.
“In my view, Cheongmyeong Dojo and the head of the family are not people who simply look at one thing and do their work. You’re probably looking at at least three or four things. Even though it may be difficult right now, if you believe and follow it, the moment will surely come when you will see the light. “Can they really say that they want to harass us?”
“…That is also correct.”
“okay. So let’s eat. “You have to eat to survive.”
Dangpae somehow grabbed hold of the food bowl and started stuffing it into his mouth.
But at that moment, I didn’t know the party was losing.
No matter how good your intentions are, even if you do something with infinitely good intentions, depending on the method, it can be more terrible than something done with malicious intent.
* * *
“…What did you say?”
“Do you not understand this?”
Cheongmyeong smiled brightly.
It was an extremely refreshing expression to anyone’s eyes, but at least in the eyes of the party leader, that smile did not look good. No, rather, it looked like the laugh of a devil from hell.
“You guys are tired too.”
“…Yes.”
“You want to rest. yes?”
“That’s right…”
“So I’ll give you a chance to rest.”
Dangpae was momentarily speechless.
No, Dojang? I’m not stupid and of course I understood that.
“But the method…”
“Ugh. okay. “That’s the key.”
Cheongmyeong snapped his fingers loudly.
“It’s good to have a break. I really like it. But is that what humans are like? “You don’t see the value in something that’s just thrown away.”
“What kind of dog is that… what do you mean?”
“That means I will make you feel its value.”
Qingming grinned.
“As members of the Tang family, you also have pride in your skills, right? “You can win no matter who you face.”
“…Yes, but.”
Cheongmyeong nodded, as if that was the right thing to do.
“okay. But it’s probably the same for those guys too, right?”
Cheongmyeong pointed to Hwasan’s disciples with his chin. They were nodding with eyes like hungry killers, with only venom remaining in their eyes.
“The martial law is simple. Those who are strong, those who have proven themselves, gain. So…”
Cheongmyeong snapped his fingers again.
“Those who win will skip training tomorrow morning. “It’s simple, right?”
“Now wait a minute. “What is that?”
Even so, colleagues who trained together split sides and fight! Do you think this kind of behavior is acceptable?
And if the Tang Family and the Hwasan Party split sides and fight, won’t the sense of comradeship that was at best be plucked out? This shouldn’t be done….
“Ah, that poisonous bastard talks a lot. Actually, that’s right. Well, you probably aren’t used to it yet. I understand. “The solution to that is also very simple.”
Cheongmyeong smiled brightly.
“Once you get hit, you’ll come to your senses.”
“yes?”
“Whoever stands last wins. “Get ready.”
“yes?”
“start.”
Cheongmyeong clapped his hands.
The party leader burst into laughter. No matter how hard you try, who will follow you if you try to force things like this?…
“Aaaah!”
And at that moment, a desperate scream was heard. The party leader was startled and turned his head.
The disciple of Hwasan who felt like a blood comrade in arms… No, the volcano converts were running around like crazy, their eyes bloodshot.
“Kill me!”
It was the moment when the alliance between Huashan and Tang was completely shattered.
