Episode 233: Where did our fate change?
After thinking about it for a while, I gave up and spoke to the ark across from me.
“…I will give up.”
“already? The reason is?”
How should I explain this? Actually I can’t follow the open ark.
To erase existence, you must first empty your mind….
In my heart, there is already a cup of tea, a spark, and even madness. I am a man whose heart cannot be emptied and a man who will never forget. Crucially, these emotions led me to meet Jahaengong, and if I empty my mind, Jahaengong will also disappear.
That can’t be possible.
When fighting against the Lord of Jecheon, he did not use his own attack, but if he had fought until the end, he would have ended up using his own attack in some way.
I had no intention of emptying my mind and giving up on Jashingong, my last bastion.
I tried my best to convey these honest feelings.
“I am an emotional person. I don’t forget the old days. This is a person who stores, remembers, and takes revenge. “That is me.”
On the other side, the open ark smiled and nodded.
“That’s you. Everyone should do what they can do well. good night.”
Suddenly, I looked around the bridge and asked Ark.
“But does Old Shin often disappear like this?”
“It’s like that. “Because I like to look around and meddle.”
After I relaxed my crouching posture, I sat down and crossed my arms. Anyway, begging was already useless, even if it was because of the wooden sword at his waist. Something uncomfortable was stirring in my heart, so I thought about it deeply.
‘…Am I mistaken?’
With my arms crossed, I was caught up in my natural mood, and as soon as ordinary passers-by saw me, they walked a little away. These ordinary people could not sense any danger from the commander-in-chief of openness. For me, I was sensing life.
He asked as if he was wondering if Ark was also surprised by my appearance.
“Why are you thinking that life is so evil?”
“I’m usually like this.”
I made eye contact with the open ark for a moment and then spoke.
“…I’ll think about it a little more and then tell you.”
“okay.”
I was also cautious because it could be disrespectful to the highest leader of the Baekdo, a member of the Three Jaes. The reason I respect Ark is because this man has already saved Kang-ho once.
I suddenly became curious about this.
Do men like this also make mistakes?
Since the open ark is also human, is it inevitable that it will make mistakes? As I kept my mouth shut, people often passed by and approached the open ark. In my view, Open Ark is basically a man who has favor with the weak.
This person is no different on the outside and the inside.
So, I guess that’s why I receive such favorable treatment.
I took the time to open the Ark and re-examine the words I had spoken in order.
“What was the martial art you performed earlier?”
“It is Sun and Moon Light Heaven, which is a combination of the energy of the Sun and Moon.”
At the Jecheon Alliance, Ark asked and I answered.
“Why are you coming now?”
“Because Master is fast. “Are you done already?”
Ark asked at Jecheonmae and Nohshin answered…
“When your internal and external energy are perfectly harmonized inside your body, like your sun and moon, you can have explosive power that exceeds expectations.”
Gyeonggong After finishing, Noshin said this to me.
I also retrieved from my memory the conversations we had at Chunyang Banjeom and Ilyanghyeon and replayed them.
Could it be an illusion?
The fact that the person in the open ark asked “Why are you here now?” meant that Noshin was not waiting nearby.
The expression sunwol or sunmoonlight spring was first used for the open ark. It was the first time Ark heard this story.
But why did Lu Xin mention Sun and Moon to me while giving advice on Gyeong-gong?
Did I go too far this time?
Could it be that the disease suspected to have originated from mania has subsided?
The only people who clearly know the names of the sun and moon or the sun and moon mineral springs are the four great evildoers and the white-robed scholars. There is a possibility that Noh Shin also heard about it because he belongs to the Kwae Party and has a connection with the White Clothes Scholar. However, if we assume that the two people met while I was meeting Baekui Seosaeng and returning to Ilyang County, this is a somewhat unexpected development.
I looked at the open ark, wary of my suspicions.
“….”
When I think about it, in my past life, when the Demonic Cult waged a local war and killed the masters of the stronghold, the leader Lim So-baek had to struggle and struggle.
What was the open ark doing at that time?
I have not heard anything about the activities of the Ark.
Were you still training at that time?
Even when he was going around being called Gwangma and running wild, it was impossible to meet Samjae as if he was already a legendary expert. It seems like I’m the type of person whose imagination is more likely to be used in negative ways. Suddenly, I made eye contact with the open ark and asked whatever came to mind.
“How does senior Noshin know that I control the energy of the sun and moon?”
The open ark heard me and looked at me without answering. Although his eyes were on me, Ark was pondering my words.
Suddenly, an open ark came and sat down next to me and answered.
“Isn’t that what you said before?”
“When we first met, you probably knew that I was a yin-yang person. As you know, the way he spoke and his tone was not something he inferred from the yin-yang delay he had heard at the time, but rather a conviction. This is what I heard recently. And at Jecheon Alliance, I came later than my senior. Were you waiting nearby?”
“no.”
The open ark suddenly turned its head and looked at me. Now, he looked like he understood what I was saying.
“Are you saying you got along with a scholar? “He deliberately went into the party and shared information about the student’s side with me.”
I said honestly, seeing the open ark bewildered.
“You can be angry with me. It may be a pointless suspicion. However, in order to better understand the whereabouts of the open ark, the Western side has no choice but to ask Lu Xin. Do you by any chance know the Lord of Kwaedang?”
“Even Noshin doesn’t know that. “There is a saying that if you defeat them all with a light attack, they will appear, but I couldn’t even defeat the white-robed student.”
Here’s something I’m curious about.
Is it really possible for the Seo Saeng side to use all their might to kill Open Ark? This is only possible if the total strength of the Seo Saeng side is stronger than the combined strength of the sect leader and the Ark.
It won’t be easy.
But it is not impossible.
For example, Cheonak and White Clothes Master join forces and each of their subordinates is added. Here, assuming that the unidentified leader of the Gae family is expected to be faster than the white-robed scholar, there is a possibility that he is at least the head in charge of another Seo-ok (書獄).
Isn’t this enough to handle an open ark?
What if Noh Shin has a detailed understanding of the Ark’s martial arts skills? In fact, the man who knows Ark’s martial arts best is Noh Shin.
Because he is a disciple.
I wondered whether Open Ark was a man who could psychologically handle his disciple’s betrayal.
If you combine all kinds of handshakes, you come to the conclusion that no matter how much you think about it, an open ark is difficult to sustain. Even if the open ark was better than they expected, it would have been a two-way plan.
Did the Demonic Cult come to the fore in that situation?
The religious leader prepared Heavenly Jade as if there was something that even he could not defeat.
A master who is currently strong but can only be defeated by eating Heavenly Jade?
Wouldn’t there have been a master who killed Ark and Cheonak at the same time, or who seemed to have joined forces between Ark and Cheonak… It
was a situation that kept bothering me that the white-robed student didn’t bother to reveal the identity of Gaedangju to me.
As I continued to speculate, full of chaos and confusion, I stopped thinking. Because Noshin was walking from beyond the bridge.
“…Oh, there are a lot of noodles. I feel a bit hungry now. “How about Moonju?”
I nodded and looked at Noshin.
“I’m going down soon?”
“I’m jealous of how young you are. I envy you.”
Noshin plopped down next to me. As the Ark and Noshin sat side by side like this, it was funny that no one wanted to join us.
Maybe it’s my mood.
Noshin looked at me and said.
“You are not born to become a beggar. He has a vicious nature and is not suitable for begging. “First of all, those eyes are not normal.”
I giggled and stood up and looked at the ark and the disciples.
“…By the way, I’m going to make some money too.”
Open Ark smiled and answered.
“How do you earn it?”
I pointed to the open ark.
“Since you have given me instructions, I must earn it in Hao Wen’s way.”
I walked to the other side and rested my butt on the railing in a precarious position, watching the people passing by. Whenever people who seemed to have a temperament passed by, they deliberately made a mocking expression or glared at them. Most people frowned, but after checking the wooden sword at my waist, they quietly passed by.
I was deliberately being rude, and when some nasty-looking guys appeared on the bridge, I waved my wooden sword around and said,
“…If you challenge and win, you will receive one silver coin. Instead, if you want to take on the challenge, it costs ten coins.”
The pathetic bastards I was watching stopped and asked me.
“What challenge? “With a sword?”
“Well, fists are good too.”
“How much?”
“The challenge fee is ten nyang, or if you win, you get one silver coin.”
“Is there a hermit?”
I took the bag out of my pocket, opened the entrance, and showed it to the bastards.
“I have a lot of money.”
The guys looked at each other and one of them came up to me and handed me ten nyang. I asked while putting money into my wallet.
“Who is taking on the challenge?”
A man with a sword at his waist stepped forward smiling and pointed at himself.
“I will do it first.”
“Good.”
I got off the railing and relaxed. Even before I had fully warmed up, the gnome pounced on me without warning. I dodged a normal punch and then kicked the guy in the butt, sending him flying down the bridge. With a loud splash, the gnome fell into the stream.
“Hahahaha…”
I burst out laughing and looked at the group, and they all pulled out their swords at the same time.
For a moment, I got goosebumps. Because the words of the Ark came to mind.
‘Human evil is abundant even in the weak.’
That is correct. There wouldn’t have been any injuries if I dropped it in the water, but the reason I pulled out the knife was probably because of my suitcase.
I stiffened my expression and then spoke.
“I told you. The challenge fee is ten nyang. That’s courtesy. Just know that if you just rush in, you run the risk of being left behind.”
The guy who fell into the water was screaming under the bridge.
“What are you looking at!”
These crazy bastards attacked while swinging their swords at the same time. While dodging the knife that arrived first, I grabbed the guy’s wrist and threw him into the stream. Next, he broke the wrist by hitting it with the blade of his hand, kicked one guy’s knee with his left foot to knock him down, and then hit the last guy’s chest with an injection of Wolyeong Mujeonggong.
They were so weak that I grabbed them by the collar and threw them into the stream. I said while looking at the guys who fell into the stream.
“If you want to get hit to death, come back up and attack me.”
The guy with the broken arm was screaming and it didn’t look like he was going to attack me again. I turned around with a smile and looked at the open ark and Noshin again. The seat I was sitting in was empty, and looking at it like this, the distance between the two people seemed quite far away.
If you think about it, when the master and the ark were begging…
Where did the beggar who was a disciple and at the same time belong to the open wander around?
If you ask who is more beggar.
The open ark, not Lu Xin, was the original beggar.
When I smiled, the open ark and Noshin also smiled and looked at me. Noshin asked me.
“Is that how Hao Wen makes money? “Still, I earned ten nyang.”
I nodded.
“I guess Hao Mun is like this.”
Although it is the same bottom, Haomun is different from Opening. I pointed my finger at the guys who had fallen into the water and then spoke to the open ark.
“Did you see it?”
Open Ark Shingae smiled and nodded.
I said this while making eye contact with the ark.
“…human evil abounds even in the weak. “Seniors, don’t let down your guard.”
Suddenly, the smile disappeared from the face of the open ark, and Noshin checked the expression of the master next to him and then looked at me.
I told Noshin.
“What you looking at?”
Lu Xin suddenly smiled brightly and said.
“Hahaha…that’s something Master often says. that’s interesting.”
I sat down on the railing and looked at the teacher and student before answering.
“I’m amazed too.”
Noshin asked me with a smiling face.
“What’s surprising?”
“What happens in the open world is the same as what happens in the world. “It was a coincidence that my seniors and I met.”
As I kept saying things that sounded like a Zen question, the smile on Noh Shin’s face was disappearing little by little.
In my mind, I thought:
No matter how things go, fate has changed because the open ark has come to meet me. The ark’s fate will change, and my fate will change accordingly.
So why did the open ark come to meet me, unlike in my previous life?
Maybe it’s
because my mindset has changed from my previous life?
No, I couldn’t find any reason other than that.
