Episode 238 I’m legend.
I arrived at the place where Samjae was fighting and monitored the situation.
Shingae and Cheonak were engaged in a one-on-one battle, and from a reasonable distance, a white-robed scholar was watching the fight while sitting cross-legged.
It is impossible to confirm whether he escaped or was injured.
Shingae and Cheonak were fighting over a fairly large area, but from a distance, it still looked like the yellow dragon and the red tiger were fighting.
Looking at it like this, I felt like I knew why the white-clothed student left.
There was no time to intervene.
This is because it was already a picture of a yellow dragon and a red tiger filling a pure white space.
It was such a beautiful sight that there was nothing to add or take away.
I couldn’t see the expression on the white-robed student’s expression, but he too was currently admiring the moving picture in a state of fascination.
I felt like if someone intervened, it would ruin the artistry of the painting.
To that extent, the fight between Shingae and Cheonak was impressive.
Without bothering to disturb the white-robed student, I walked over and sat cross-legged in an appropriate place.
Only then did the white-robed student turn his head towards me.
“….”
I watched the yellow dragon and the red tiger, ignoring the white-robed student’s gaze. In order to reach the level of martial god, one had to see this fight with one’s eyes and hold it in one’s heart. Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
I already own Heavenly Jade. If you cut yourself off from the world for a while and draw on the power of Heavenly Jade and build it up as your inner strength, you would grow the fastest. The problem is that during that time of disconnection, everyone I knew could have died.
Ignoring the world is not my way.
Actually, that’s why I’m having such a hard time…
The white-robed student interrupted my appreciation.
“…How did Lee Ja-ha, a blind scholar, come alone?”
I watched with my arms crossed and answered what the white-clothed student said.
“Unfortunately, the real name scholar was killed by his subordinates.”
The white-robed student responded in a scolding tone.
“Can you stop lying? “Why do you lie every time you open your mouth?”
“It’s not a lie, it’s the truth.”
After turning away from the gaze of the white-robed scholar… I
checked the expression on the face of the Red Tiger, or rather, the Cheonak scholar, who was fighting far away.
Cheonak was still smiling.
But it wasn’t just Cheonak Seosaeng who was laughing. Sometimes, Shingae also fought while bursting into lively laughter. He seemed to like Cheonak’s counterattack. In some ways, the moment when those two people can truly laugh is when they are competing with the Samjaes. As soon as I saw Ark smiling, I started smiling too.
‘You seem happy.’
Suddenly, a white-robed student next to me called out to me.
“Izaha!”
“why?”
“Where have you gone as a student with a real name? Why was he killed by his subordinates?”
I turned my head and glared at the white-robed student who was interrupting my viewing.
“You crazy bastard. Because he died. How can I survive? “Are you saying I’m stronger than the blind scholar?”
The white-robed student answered.
“That’s not true. “I can’t do that.”
“I mean…”
“What about the subordinates who followed?”
“They’re all dead.”
The white-robed student let out a long sigh and looked back at the fight.
I also watched it again.
I thought watching a fight with Buddhist monks was the most fun thing in the world, but it was nothing compared to the fight between the yellow dragon and the red tiger.
I was filled with admiration.
“That’s amazing.”
After exchanging tension once, the two people flew in opposite directions like beams of light, stopping in the air at the same time before landing on the ground. Because there was quite a distance, the aftermath of the tension collision was carried by the wind and reached where I was.
In an instant, my hair fluttered.
A divine voice was heard.
“Should we take a break for a while?”
Cheonak’s voice was more audible.
“The old man is tired. “Take a break.”
“Can you possibly be tired? Think about it. “There were a lot of senseless attacks on each other.”
Soon the two people sat on the ground at a distance, each lost in thought.
Cheonak nodded, crossing his arms.
“That’s right.”
As I looked at the two people, I somehow felt satisfied. It was very impressive to see the drones, who seemed to be reaching for the sky, taking a break while acknowledging each other.
‘Feel so good.’
Cheonak, who discovered me only then, asked the white-clothed student.
“Where is your real name?”
The white-robed student answered.
“It looks like Ijaha died.”
Cheonak was watching me from quite a distance away. For a moment, it felt as if Cheonak’s eyes were shining red, and the tiger’s face suddenly seemed to become huge. But strangely enough, there was little fear in my heart.
Cheonak spoke to me in a clear voice as if he were right nearby.
“It would have been too much with your skills. “What happened?”
I answered while making eye contact with Cheonak.
“It was too much for my skills.”
“Know.”
“He was killed by his subordinates.”
“Why do you lie like that?”
I expected that if Cheonak got up and ran right away, he would arrive here in one breath.
But due to my personality, I couldn’t say anything positive.
“Silmyeong Seosaeng killed the palanquin carrier. It was screaming because I cut off its leg, but I guess it thought it was distracting it from fighting. So the blind man’s legs also lost their direction. Afterwards, he sacrificed his other subordinates even though his own military power was far superior. “If I had taken advice from my subordinates and fought myself, I would have lost.”
Cheonak asked as if he was curious about the next story.
“however?”
“The subordinates attacked as a group, so they all froze at the same time.”
“You even learned the ice ball. “What next?”
I answered while smiling with my teeth exposed.
“The subordinates who were the eyes and mouth of the blind scholar failed to do their job. I lost my legs and my eyes again. I danced around with the frozen guys, and in the meantime, the blind student who was chasing me, threatening to kill me, was stabbed by a subordinate who had been waiting for me earlier. why? “I was blind.”
“….”
“I finished the rest. So, did I die because my skills were so good? Or did the blind scholar die because he abandoned his subordinate? Or did he die himself? I don’t know either. Why did this idiot die? What is certain is that I was actually weaker than the real student. “You probably already know that.”
I crossed my arms again and glared at Cheonak.
“Sir, did you understand?”
The white teeth of Cheonak were revealed in the distance. He probably smiled broadly. Cheonak nodded slightly and spoke to me.
“Um, okay. You are Izaha. “You’re lucky.”
“Luck is also a skill.”
Suddenly, Cheonak looked up at the sky and burst into laughter.
The white robe student said to me.
“I wish I could explain it like that from the beginning…”
I looked at the white-robed student.
“Hey, comrade Seosaeng.”
“why?”
“Anyway, even if I tell you the truth, you won’t listen.”
“What is the truth?”
I glared at the white-robed student out of the corner of my eye.
“You.”
“okay. What are we? “Tell me.”
“Why are you trying to kill Open Ark? Because it’s white? Out of order? Or is it because you really want to kill me? Open Ark is not someone who deserves a grudge. Bang Ju is not a person like Emperor Shi Huangdi. He’s a person who can be criticized by ordinary passers-by. He is a man who never forgets that kindness and tries to help when he sees something unfair. For what reason do you kill the leader of the beggars? He is a person who is not interested in fame, power, or money. That’s an open ark. What justification do you have? What’s your cause? You have nothing. Men like open arks are rare. No one should be killed. That is the truth. “He doesn’t listen even when I tell him.”
“….”
“Of course, if there is a scary person above you and the order is given, you have to carry out it. Cancer should be like that. How can a slave boy refuse orders? Did you read the book so intently because your future dream was to be a slave? “What a bastard.”
“You are saying too much.”
I tapped my head with my finger and glared at the white-robed student.
“Think about it. Are your thoughts your own? Is your malice yours? Aren’t you really a slave? The scholar who said he read a bit doesn’t know what’s right. Are you drunk on the secret society game? Just go out and die, you bastard. I said it. Let’s raise charlatans over a thousand years. Let’s prevent another emperor…. Such a charlatan grew up, met all kinds of odds, and reached the peak after many twists and turns, and that person is Open Ark. “Raising a charlatan and protecting a charlatan are ultimately the same thing.”
The white-robed student giggled and laughed.
“The crazy guy is starting again.”
I slowly raised my voice and screamed.
“For what reason do you, who were persecuted by the First Emperor, kill a charlatan? Even though there is a man like your brother in front of you, you can’t tell them apart? You idiotic bastards…don’t brag that you went somewhere and read some articles. People who haven’t read a single line of text are better than you. “Go out and search.”
Suddenly, I made eye contact again with Cheonak, who was glaring at me. Even though I knew I shouldn’t, I pointed my finger at Cheonak.
“It would be better for you to just go out and search.”
“….”
Cheonak picked his ears and spoke to the open ark.
“Why are there all these guys? Did I hear correctly? “Did you just tell me to go out and search?”
When Cheonak got up from his seat, the open ark also got up and said.
“He’s just like that, so understand.”
“okay? “You can’t expect me to understand.”
For a moment, the appearance of Cheonak disappeared and appeared before my eyes in an instant. While my hair was fluttering, the open ark arrived at almost the same time and spoke to Cheonak.
“What are you doing to your junior?”
Cheonak grinned and sat down in his seat, glaring at me. It seemed like he came looking for me.
“Jaha, do it in moderation.”
The open ark gave me a look telling me to be careful, and he also sat down.
In an instant, I, the white-robed student, opened the ark and sat around and looked at each other’s expressions.
Cheonak said to me.
“Hao Wenju, let’s talk more.”
I straightened my back and then answered.
“Really? Senior Cheonak.”
“okay. “Our face is pale, my junior.”
I felt like the devil would suddenly swing its front paw and tear me to death, but I couldn’t hold back what I wanted to say.
“It seems like a man with exceptional strength couldn’t get over his anger and suddenly ran out into the yard and twisted the chicken’s head to kill it.”
Cheonak pointed at himself with a surprised expression.
“Do you mean me?”
I nodded.
“Suddenly killing a chicken is an ugly act, but there are also people who do it to people. Massacre committed without any cause is something that is always done. “I came forward to kill those who treat the weak as livestock.”
“What are you guys?”
“I am the leader of the workers.”
He pointed to the open ark with his hand.
“Our Shingae senior is the leader of the beggars. “We know why the weak are weak.”
Cheonak looked at the open ark and then back at me.
“Is there a reason why the weak are weak?”
I nodded.
“…I’m busy making a living. Since they have a family to feed, they don’t really have time to practice martial arts like we do. These people also do not want to live like slaves, but because they have wives and children and aging parents to take care of, they choose to live like slaves. Work and get paid. I wake up early in the morning and go to sleep late. Most people in the world are like this, but the people who treat these people like chickens or cows and beat them to death are demons like you. It’s because weak people don’t know why they are weak. But Shingae and I know. Openness began with the goal of protecting physically challenged beggars. “The Haomun I created was to prevent workers from being carelessly beaten to death by Kang Ho-in.”
I looked at Cheonak and the white-robed student next to me.
“I was never a slave to begin with. I don’t take orders. If I was born during the time of the First Emperor, I am his brother’s family. “Not even poverty could mock me.”
I pointed to Cheonak.
“Even a strong person like you cannot take me lightly. “That is me.”
Cheonak laughed with an absurd expression.
“What confidence do you have in a guy who looks like he’ll die right away if you hit him?”
With somewhat dazed eyes, I looked around at the white-robed student of the Heavenly Evil Open Ark.
“The sun and moon that I already have inside me are crossing each other, going against nature. I will never die alone. “If Sun and Moon are forced to collide and I explode, we will disappear together.”
My vision became blurry for a moment and then I noticed that the whole world was turning purple.
The clear sky and the faces of the students, as well as the complexion of the open ark looking at me with concern, also turned purple.
It seems that his own exploits were carried out even though he did not intend to do so.
But unlike before, my mind was calm.
I just wanted to talk, so I threatened Cheonak, one of the Three Jaes.
“If you hit me, we will become legends here. “I will die, but Samjae will die, and so will Baekui Seosaeng.”
Cheonak, who was wondering what this meant, looked at the white robe student as if asking for his opinion.
The white robe student thought for a moment and then spoke to the Cheonak student.
“…don’t hit me. You bastard. Look at their eyes. “You don’t mess with crazy people.”
At that moment, I felt like my bravado would be revealed right away if I swallowed the saliva that had accumulated in my throat, so I blurted out whatever nonsense came to mind.
“I’m legend.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I naturally wiped away the saliva that had accumulated in my neck and then managed my facial expression. Although Cheonak continued to stare at me, I activated the aesthetics of letting go and kept a straight face.
“….”
I thought that if I had known this before, I wouldn’t have lost money at the gambling house. Even in the midst of this, I can’t believe I’m having useless thoughts.
Life is a mysterious thing.
