Episode 1514 As I live, I go through all sorts of things. (3)
“Hurry!”
“yes? Ah… yes!”
“Hurry up, hurry up!” It’s a gun squad! “Let’s go to the headquarters!”
“Yes, Elder!”
The Elders of Openness, who instantly rallied the flat areas outside the headquarters, led them and began to run.
The villagers ran along with a look of confusion on their faces. Just by looking at the urgent looks of the elders, you could see how urgent the internal situation was, so no one was stupid enough to ask why.
“Once you enter the headquarters, you must knock down all those who attack the elders! Do you understand?”
“yes!”
“I’ll say it again, unconditionally! “Regardless of the reason!”
A doubt flashed across the faces of the residents. Is it really necessary to emphasize this obvious thing?
“Enter!”
“yes!”
They soon reached the headquarters and saw the headquarters door wide open. First of all, according to the order…
“Stop!”
But at that moment, someone jumped in, blocking the way.
“Oh!”
“what?”
The beggars paused for a moment. The elders immediately raised their voices.
“Question and answer dance! Attack!”
The beggars’ bodies reflexively carried out the command. He breathed energy into the dagger in his hand.
“Haaaaaap!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Before the laymen could swing the baton, the person blocking the path hit the ground hard with the baton. The solidly compacted ground in front of the gun range burst open and caved in.
“Uh, that!”
The astonished beggars stood tall.
It is not because I am surprised by its power. It was because the number I saw a little while ago was clearly the Tagu-Bongbeop, a German martial arts method of openness. Doesn’t the jade-colored air current surrounding that pole prove that fact?
“I can’t go any further than this.”
Pungyeongsingae, who blocked the flat settlements, gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Beggars of openness, follow the orders of the Ark! “Everyone, wait in your seats!”
“Bah, Ark? Did you just say ark? “You?”
“Ark?”
The beggars were buzzing. It is very different from the Ark of Openness, Pungyeongsingae, which they knew, and the martial arts shown is clearly one of openness. How is this happening now? Everyone was confused.
One of the elders wrote a curse word.
“profit! It’s a lie! Everyone…!”
“Kisim(記心)!”
Then, a loud roar fell on him.
“Aren’t you embarrassed by your nickname?”
Gisimgae bit his lip at Pungyeongsingae’s words.
In fact, his nickname was given by his teacher himself to remind him not to forget the warmth in his heart. So, the words of Pungyeongshingae couldn’t help but be painful.
But now I can’t back down.
“What are you doing! Instead of immediately killing that evil thief impersonating Ark!”
Gisimgae, whose eyes were full of venom, spoke evilly.
“Come and see.”
bang!
Pungyeongsingae stepped on the ground again from that spot.
“I have no choice but to correct the mistakes I made. Even if I collapse and die here, I will not open the way with my feet.”
He held the baton with all his might and suppressed his burning heart.
So why wouldn’t you be afraid?
If they attack all at once, he, who is injured, will have no way to withstand it. He may be the first open state to be beaten to death by open laymen.
But I won’t take a single step back.
‘It’s a death that suits me perfectly.’
If the opening punishes him for ruining the opening, he has no choice but to receive it happily.
“If you want to go, step on my corpse!”
Pungyeongsingae planted his feet firmly in the spot as if he wanted to take root. The elders also shouted without giving up.
“What are you doing! “Kill that guy right away!”
However, there were no beggars who actively responded to the order. Gisimgae shouted in embarrassment.
“Can’t you hear me?”
“No… it might be the Ark, right?”
“What a stupid guy! What kind of ark is that?! It’s not an ark! “Can’t you tell just by looking at me?”
“Well, that’s…”
“Knock that evil bastard to death right now! hurry!”
The villagers looked at Gisimgae and Pungyeongsingae alternately with still worried expressions. Gisimgae felt sick to his stomach.
“You idiot! “There’s no need to waste time…”
“Then the elders do it themselves.”
“⋯⋯What?”
At that moment, the murmuring was suddenly cut off by a voice coming from behind. The embarrassed Gisimgae looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw several beggars looking at him with dissatisfied faces.
“There is only one person. They say it’s not even the Ark. “Then shouldn’t the elders handle it themselves?”
“I saw earlier that you were running properly, but why are you leaving this to us?”
“But if he were to become the real Lord, he would blame all the sins on us. Hey, I won’t do it.”
“Hey, these guys!”
Enraged, Gisimgae immediately sought to hunt down those who raised complaints and punish them as an example. However, it was not easy to catch the first person to speak out among the crowd of beggars, and to make matters worse, dissatisfaction spread like wildfire among the beggars.
“Honestly, I clearly saw the Shaolin people going to the headquarters earlier, but now they are some kind of raider. So does that mean Shaolin is the equator?”
“Then should we go over there and fight the Shaolin guys?”
“Even the elders can’t handle it, so what are we going to do?”
“Usually he’s an elder and condescending, but at times like this…”
“Hey, profit! Can’t you shut those mouths? Has everyone gone crazy!”
Gisimgae was so angry that he quickly looked at everyone in embarrassment. Now it seemed like all the flat settlements didn’t want to get involved in this situation.
“Now that I think about it, the food I got earlier, I’ll be resting for a bit.”
“Then let’s go and eat.”
“I heard the headquarters is being attacked. Is that okay?”
“There are elders and Shaolin people up there, so why worry about that? Well, from what I saw earlier, it looks like Jongnam is also moving up.”
“Then no worries. With so many prominent people gathered together, what are we going to do? “I’m glad it doesn’t get in the way.”
The beggars glanced at Gisimgae with strange eyes, then slowly turned around and began to disperse.
“Hey, you guys! “Can’t you come back right now?!”
I didn’t really think it was a big deal, so of course I didn’t go to rest. Any way you look at it, it’s a situation where Ark and Elder are fighting for power. There is no benefit in getting involved in something like that.
Besides, there was another reason.
“Do you think you can get away with something like this? “This is a protest!”
Several of the beggars turned around and burst into laughter at the angry shout.
“You used to brag so much about being an elder, but it looks like you’re not even a beggar anymore? “You’re perfect for breaking gourds.”
“what?”
“Think about it. “We are people who have lived our whole lives by paying attention.”
Gisimgae closed his mouth at those words.
“Don’t we know which side is being stabbed right now?”
“Hey, these guys… This is open! Yes, it’s all for the sake of opening up!”
“Surely you are no longer a beggar.”
“W-what?”
A sneer appeared on the beggars’ lips.
“You become a beggar because you don’t know what is good, but because you know what is right, you can survive by begging even if you become a beggar.”
Gisimgae’s mouth opened involuntarily.
“If a guy who is less than a fistful of height can’t bow down and say he’s sorry when someone kicks him, then he can’t stick to the opening in the first place. “Why don’t we do it because we don’t know that it would be easier to beat him up and take his money?”
“yes!”
“I didn’t like the elders these days. “What kind of bastards are putting so much pressure on their shoulders?”
The beggars’ cold eyes fell on Gisimgae and the elders who followed him.
“Anyway, we don’t know, so just figure it out.”
“Hey, you guys! Elder! Are you saying you don’t know that the grand opening of openness is collapsing right now? If that happens, you too…”
A beggar shrugged his shoulders at that.
“What if it fails?”
“…Well, what do you mean?”
“You have to fail, right? “What more damn things can we do?”
Gisimgae, momentarily speechless, froze in place. The beggars laughed among themselves and walked away.
“let’s go. “Let’s eat something.”
“Uh oh. “Let’s go together.”
The elders were reeling as they watched the beggars disappear like the ebb and flow.
And Pungyeongsingae, who was watching all of this, closed his eyes tightly.
‘If you fail, you’ll be a beggar…’
okay. That was openness.
They can be cooperative because they have nothing. Since I have nothing to protect, I can even throw away my body.
It was none other than Pungyeongsingae who gave us what we had and what we should protect in such openness, and taught us that we should be able to tolerate injustice for our own benefit.
Nevertheless.
‘There are some places that haven’t changed.’
Those who had something to grasp changed, but those who still had nothing to grasp were maintaining the openness of the past.
If so, there may still be hope.
“If this… is like this…”
Gisimgae looked back at Pungyeongsingae with a face that could not hide his embarrassment and chewed his lips.
“Do you know what you are doing, Ark?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t know. “I should have known this a long time ago.”
“⋯⋯What are you talking about?”
“Neither you nor I are qualified to decide the fate of openness anymore. “We are the ones who have lost the spirit of openness, even though they are the means of openness.”
Gisimgae stared at Pungyeongsingae with questioning eyes.
“Now, only the two of us can decide our fate. With those who still follow the spirit of openness…”
Pungyeongsingae was silent for a moment and glanced towards the headquarters where the battle was taking place.
“Someone who still retains what that opening was trying to pursue.”
I closed my eyes and called out to myself.
‘Geomjon.’
The loss is the same. No, the volcano lost much more than its opening and was betrayed in many places.
Nevertheless, the volcano rises again. Just like in the past.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
At that moment, a loud noise rang out. One wall of the gun platform burst open, scattering red plum leaves into the open sky.
“It’s blooming again.”
Even if we lose again and again, we still do it again.
It will be so. Because flowers are just the result. Ultimately, it is the roots and spirit of the volcano that make that flower bloom. Unless that spirit completely disappears, the flower will bloom again at any time.
Pungyeongsingae’s eyes followed the plum blossom leaves.
“We too must open a new era.”
Kwaaaaang!
Cheongmyeong, riding on the blue tension that burst from the wall of the main hall, soared into the air.
“ah!”
“Uh, that!”
Cheongmyeong turned over like an illusion in the center of the plum blossom leaves he had bloomed and immediately shot back towards Daejeon. It was like a hawk descending.
The sword energy, resembling a sunset, bloomed from the tip of the sword and cut through the oncoming blue tension without a hitch.
“Uihui(追義)⋯⋯.”
You can tell without looking.
The Eighteen Chiefs of Chuyi, who no longer follow righteousness, cannot block the plum blossom sword carrying the spirit of the volcano.
The red sword energy poured out by Cheongmyeong cut down the resistant blue light with such simplicity that it seemed futile, and attacked the worn-out open arms.
That is not a sword aimed at the One Tiger.
It was a sword aimed at opening.
Something they should never forget.
“Haaaaaaaap!”
The roar of clarity stretched all the way to the sky. Soon the red sword was stuck in the gun barrel.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Uh, that!”
“Heeeeeeeek!” It’s falling apart! damage!”
An organization that has been around for hundreds of years and has been a symbol of openness.
A corner of it began to collapse with a loud noise.
