Episode 1732. What is right? (2)
“What did you just say!”
“Walk!”
Yun Jong quickly tried to dissuade Jo Geol.
“Wait, wait! Don’t get angry… … .”
However, his efforts were shattered when Dang Soso’s voice was heard once again.
“Was I wrong?”
“what?”
Zhao Geol’s face became even more distorted. Even Yunjong, who had tried to somehow dissuade her and mediate, looked back at her in embarrassment.
“Soso. You don’t seem to know what you just said… … .”
“I said it knowingly.”
“… … .”
“I knew it well and said so. “Wouldn’t it be okay for Sasuk to return to Jongnam?”
“Sosoya!”
Yoon Jong was momentarily lost, and Jo Geol ground his teeth. And even at this moment, Yui Seol was standing there with an expressionless expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Baeksang and Hyeyeon were the only ones who couldn’t even think of getting involved in this argument and just chewed their lower lips.
“Shall we send the executioner to Jongnam?”
“yes.”
“Does that make any sense?”
“Why not?”
“Dangsoso!”
“I just don’t understand.”
Although Yunjong rarely raised his voice, Tang Soso did not back down even an inch.
“Isn’t saving people’s lives the priority? No matter how important a door is, it is probably not more important than a person. “Do you mean that just because Sasuk moves to Jongnam, Sasuk ceases to be Sasuk?”
“At least it’s not a private residence anymore.”
Yoonjong spoke clearly and clearly.
“The name Baekcheon will disappear. “Because that is the name given to a disciple of Hwasan.”
“What’s wrong with that? A name is just a name. A position is just a position! “It’s not like the people we know are disappearing.”
“Is it that simple?”
“Then is it such a difficult problem?”
Even Yunjong showed a cold attitude throughout, so Tang Soso shouted in frustration.
“Has everyone lost their minds? “At best, it’s a matter of changing affiliation!”
“… … .”
“Are we going to watch with our eyes open as people live like that for the rest of their lives to protect their humble name and title? “Are you going to confine someone who can be cured here and look at them with pity and support them for the rest of their lives?”
“Who said that!”
“Then what is it!”
Yoonjong, who was momentarily speechless, could not say anything.
Of course, that wasn’t how he felt, but in the end, he realized on his own that it wasn’t much different from what Tang Soso had said.
A chill passed by for a moment. Soon, Tang Soso looked at her request and asked.
“So, do you think the death penalty is the same as Yunjong’s execution? Does she think it would be better for her to live like that in Hwasan for the rest of her life than to have Sa-suk become Jong-nam’s person? really?”
It’s a strange thing.
Jo Geol was the first to show extreme opposition to Dang Soso’s words. But he can’t answer anything now.
“Answer me, death penalty.”
Jogeol slightly rolled her hands and squeezed them.
For them, ‘volcano’ was something that could not be replaced by anything. Perhaps it was a name that went beyond just a part and became closer to everything.
However, to Jo Geol, Baekcheon was just as important as the name Hwasan.
“I don’t understand.”
Tang Soso said. It was a bitterly cold voice.
“What’s so great about volcanoes?”
“… … .”
“I don’t care. Whether Sasuk is from Hwasan or Jongnam. Still, private residence will be private residence. Because I know someone named Baekcheon. So, for me, it is a hundred times more important that my family gets better and that the people I cherish do not get sick.”
She took a deep breath as if thinking for a moment and then added.
“The two words ‘that humble volcano…’ … .”
“Be careful what you say.”
Dang So-so’s conversation, which required a big decision, was suddenly cut off by a voice without a pitch. Yu Yi-seol was staring straight at Tang So-so with sunken eyes.
“It’s not a light name. “Enough to be called generous.”
It was rare for Yu Iseol, who was usually very quiet, to speak so firmly. Tang Xiaoxiao bowed his head.
“sorry.”
She was also so excited that she couldn’t tell what to say and what not to say. Why doesn’t she know how much meaning her name has? In fact, she is the person who created the meaning of Dangsoso’s name.
Yu Yi-seol silently looked at Tang So-so, who looked distressed, and then opened her mouth.
“I will reject the death penalty.”
It was a confusing statement, but there was no one here who could not understand its meaning.
“Yes. I know. so… … I have to convince them. “Somehow.”
Tang Soso spoke in an uncertain voice. She didn’t dare to be certain either.
However, I could clearly feel his concern and thoughts for Baekcheon.
Perhaps that was why Jogeol sighed without even realizing it. Then he scratched his head as if something was going on in his mind.
“I, really… … . “Then, let’s persuade Sa-suk, who said she would stay in Hwasan, and kick her out to Jong-nam?”
“… … .”
“Who said they would stay in the volcano even if it meant ending up like that? “The one who has already come to a conclusion?”
“yes.”
“Damn it.”
Jo Geol spat out a curse. It was not an anger towards the party. It was because the reality was so frustrating that I had no choice but to accept it.
Out of frustration, I found the person I always looked for again.
“What do you think about the death penalty?”
Yunjong answered as if there was nothing to think about.
“I think that’s nonsense.”
“… … “Isn’t that true?”
“Just thinking about Sasuk wearing Jongnam’s clothes makes my blood boil.”
“Well, it was a sight I couldn’t have seen even if I had just seen it briefly before.”
“I really can’t see that.”
I’ve disguised myself for open infiltration in the past, but that was literally just a disguise. Yoonjong said bitterly.
“It may feel like your stomach is turning and your stomach is being ripped out… … It is also true that every time we meet, Sa-sook’s face turns even more upset when she pretends nothing is wrong.”
I sigh deeply.
I don’t know.
“What is right… … .”
I don’t know. But one thing was certain.
“Soso.”
“Yes, accident.”
“Is the death penalty getting better?”
“… … no. “It will be difficult.”
“Is it getting worse?”
The party office did not respond.
Soon, Yu Iseol asked a question that no one had asked before.
“So, how much longer can you live?”
There was a long silence. That alone was enough of an answer for everyone here.
How long had passed? Yu Iseol looked at everyone with a face no different from usual.
“You don’t have to think the same way. You’re not a child. “There’s no need to decide what’s right.”
Unusually for Yui Seol, a short conclusion was reached after a long story.
“So act. “As each person believes.”
“… … .”
“Instead, if you’re going to do it, do it right.”
At that moment, a small resolution appeared in everyone’s eyes.
* * *
People who deal with a sect called Hwasan for the first time are usually confused.
The reason is simple. This is because Hwasan’s disciples are simple-minded compared to his reputation. Of course, this is when expressed positively, and when expressed negatively, it is because one is naive and falls for it.
This doesn’t happen because Hwasan’s disciples are truly naive. They too have gone through all sorts of hardships and hardships, and if we were to judge only what they experienced, they could easily eat away at most sects.
The reason is that the mentality of King Hyeonjong and the elders, who were long-time scholars, was implicitly inherited by saying that they simply planted beans and they grew.
In the end, it can be said that Hwasan’s disciples know very well how to resolve certain issues, but are unable to do so calmly because they are concerned about those who may be hurt in the process.
And through this opportunity, Baekcheon was able to clearly experience how those emotions felt from the perspective of the victim.
“Go back.”
“Sasuk.”
“I told you to go back.”
Baekcheon gritted his teeth and looked at the person who had invaded his room.
“Are you doing this too?”
Baekcheon’s face showed annoyance. It wasn’t anger, it was obvious irritation.
“Even if other people are like this, shouldn’t you be like this?”
The person standing in front now is Deputy Jang Moon, who succeeded Baekcheon… … . To be exact, he was someone who would always become a long-time writer of Hwasan.
Yunjong sighed deeply with an embarrassed expression on his face.
“… … sorry.”
“Surely everyone did something?”
“We decided to leave it to each person’s will.”
Baekcheon, who couldn’t hide his irritation and glared at Yoonjong for a long time, also sighed. I can roughly guess how the situation is going. So it was difficult for him to be openly angry.
Instead, he stared at Yoonjong with a bewildered expression.
“Okay, I understand. I understand… … Then let’s do it right.”
Yoonjong had nothing to say.
Honestly, I know how to get Baekcheon kicked out as Jongnam. The quickest and surest way is to ruthlessly scrape away your emotions.
Humans are emotional creatures, so just by mocking Baekcheon, who lost the use of his arms, will be enough to relieve him of some of the emotions he has for Hwasan.
Otherwise, there is another way to quietly physically pressure them. In any case, Baekcheon is currently in a worse situation than ordinary citizens.
Is that all? If you think about it, there are countless ways. Something you can think of even if you don’t have a particularly great brain.
However, Hwasan’s disciples are not strong enough to carry out that. So, I tried my best to persuade Baekcheon somehow. In a way that doesn’t hurt your pride as much as possible.
“… … Was it very clumsy?”
“uh.”
“But to a small extent… … .”
“As he unwrapped and rewrapped the bandage three times, he rambled on endlessly about how good a choice he had made to leave the Tang family and come to Hwasan. “He said it was worth changing at least once.”
… … Anyway, it’s kind of stupid.
“Did Baeksang’s residence also come and go?”
“I heard Jong-nam has a lot of money so he can make a living. They even said that since I am a legitimate Jinga, I can take away 30% of the property?”
“That crazy person.”
“huh?”
“No, no… … .”
Can we really leave the awakening to that person? Could it be that the volcano is going to fail?
“Perhaps Monk Hyeyeon… … ?”
“They say it’s worth being excommunicated.”
There was another person who was even crazier.
“What about accidents?”
“It barged in, stared at the person intently, and then sat down in the corner of the room. “He kept doing that, so I called someone and pulled him out.”
“… … Were you dragged away?”
“I repeated that about three times and it didn’t come back.”
Yoonjong fell into untimely agony. As I listen to it, it feels like a human being, but isn’t there actually no future for this sect?
Baekcheon asked earnestly.
“Why don’t you ask about the hanger?”
“Honestly, I’m a little scared to hear it.”
“I just won’t talk about that.”
“… … thank you.”
Yunjong sighed deeply.
I knew it would be like this. All volcanoes are like that. What can you do if you are full of motivation? Things that have the will but don’t have the courage to hurt people.
“Sasuk.”
“good.”
“yes?”
Baekcheon distorted his face. If my arm had been fine, I would have been pressing my forehead right now.
“No matter what nonsense you’re talking about, I can hear it even if you don’t, so get out.”
“no. Just listen to it first… … .”
“I told you to get out.”
Finally, Baekcheon couldn’t stand it any longer and jumped up from his seat and kicked Yunjong.
“Oh, no, Sasuk! “Doing this with force!”
“Then either beat it or lose it.”
“How could I do that!”
“Then get out.”
Baekcheon violently kicked Yunjong’s butt once again. After driving Yoonjong out the door, he shouted to his running back.
“If you come near me again, I won’t leave you alone!”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Do not come!”
Baekcheon gritted his teeth. Then, after Yunjong disappeared behind the pavilion in the distance, he muttered with a tired face.
“You idiots.”
I know. Those stupid things were all done out of concern for Baekcheon. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been hanging around his dorm so late at night.
but… … Baekcheon felt a little sad.
Because I knew that feeling, it actually felt like there was nothing Baekcheon could do in the volcano anymore.
And I felt extremely shabby for having to accept those warm hearts like this.
Baekcheon, who was staring blankly into space for a moment, suddenly shifted his gaze. And then he opened his mouth.
“hey.”
The eaves above the pavilion. Baekcheon, who was staring at the empty place, opened his mouth again.
“Do you have any alcohol left?”
Although the words were thrown into the air, an answer was soon heard. To be exact, on the eaves of the pavilion where he stays.
“There’s always alcohol.”
“Where did you get it?”
“Is there a warehouse near Jang Mun-in’s residence?”
It is said that items from the shaman’s warehouse were stolen. Baekcheon chuckled.
“Give me a bottle too. “Because I want to drink a little.”
Then, Cheongmyeong, who was lying on the eaves with her arms on a pillow, faintly nodded.
“… … “Let’s do it.”
Next to him were several bottles of alcohol and two glasses that seemed to have been prepared in advance.
