Absolute Regression - Chapter 81
Episode 81: Let’s live another life.
The Pungcheon religious leader who saw me and Gowol was not surprised.
“Can we sit together?”
He was the one who was waiting for us, but he didn’t want to say anything.
“Are you going to brag about bringing in a new person?”
“Aren’t you eating here to show off?”
Gowol and I sat in front of him.
The head of Pungcheon glanced at Go Wol. I kept looking at him to see if he was getting used to the fact that he had gained weight and his physical condition had improved over the past few days of rest.
“It looks like the new owner is doing well.”
“I’m eating well and sleeping well.”
“You don’t know that I’m doing this to kill you on a feast day, do you?”
“If possible, it would be nice to have a big party.”
I believe that time will resolve the relationship between these two.
Someday, the leader of Pungcheon will have this thought. Why was I so obsessed then? Now that I look at it, it wasn’t a big deal.
Or will this become an unforgettable wound and resentment?
Even though I’ve lived my whole life, I still can’t be sure about people’s feelings about things I haven’t experienced.
Anyway, I changed the subject before he got depressed.
“Have you met your father?”
“I met you.”
“Did you tell me that? “I will raise the new soul mazon to be stronger.”
“I gave it to you. “Like you said, he was satisfied.”
“Did you say anything else?”
“You did it. He asked me how long I would continue my martial arts training at Cheongseon. “You seemed to want me to return quickly.”
“So what did you answer?”
“I told you that I still have to find something new and have a lot to teach you.”
“Well done.”
“What should I do now?”
“We will find a way.”
“You won’t ask for anything else in return, right?”
“I will discuss that with my military.”
For a moment, the expression of the Pungcheon Church leader hardened.
“Are you going to tell me that now?”
I calmly spoke to the leader of Pungcheon Church.
“Master.”
“I’m listening.”
“Since you came to our school, you lost one person, but didn’t you gain another? “If you live your life looking back like this, you will lose that person too.”
The expression on the face of the Pungcheon Church leader became even stronger, but he did not become angry. Cheongseon, who became the Soul Demon, was not someone to be neglected.
“Sojeong Cheong, who was taken as my disciple, is a man with great ambition. “Focus on that person.”
Perhaps because he was grumpy for no reason because of my advice, the leader of Pungcheon took out his anger on Gowol.
“If this Duke of Lee is an unparalleled hero as you say, then many people will gather around him in the future. There are probably a lot of smarter people out there. You will end up being just that kind of person there. Who was it? Ah, those shackles! “I will become exactly this kind of person.”
I felt it. These words are not addressed to Gowol, but to me. It was a warning from the Pungcheon religious leader not to treat Gowol like that. This person truly cares for Gowol.
At that time, Gowol suddenly opened his mouth.
“Gongja Lee gave me a million nyang.”
I was surprised because I had no idea that he would boast about receiving money from the Pungcheon religious leader under these circumstances.
“You said that Gongja Lee was pretentious, right? “Even if you drop the pretense, it has to be this big.”
I was also surprised, so it was natural for the Pungcheon Church leader to be surprised. Of course, surprise led to anger.
“Only give advice to the proud new owner!”
The leader of Pungcheon left the place and left.
I knew that Gao Yue was not such a careless person, so I asked him calmly.
“Why did you do that?”
It was truly an intentional action.
“As a military officer, I would like to give you my first suggestion.”
“Something?”
Gowol stared at me and said.
“I want to recruit the leader of the Pungcheon Church.”
I was startled by the unexpected words.
“Are you really saying that you are going to bring the Pungcheon religious leader to our side?”
Gowol nodded to my question.
“That’s right.”
“Is that possible?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s a possibility.”
“Then why did you piss him off?”
“I have an idea.”
It seems like it was probably a pre-emptive move to attract the Pungcheon religious leader.
“May I ask why you are trying to attract him?”
After a moment, Gowol spoke. It was an unexpected reason.
“It’s because I want to save the Pungcheon religious leader.”
“Will he die if he doesn’t join hands with me?”
“Yes, I expect that to happen.”
“Why do you think so?”
“It’s because of the Heavenly Demon Church leader.”
“Because of my father? why?”
Because the Heavenly Demon was mentioned, Gao Yue lowered his voice.
“The size of the bowls between the two religious leaders is very different. Confucius’s father is a man of great military talents, one of the greatest of all time. He is also a person with great ambition. In the end, the Pungcheon Church will be eaten by the Heavenly Demon Church.”
I agreed with Gowell. There was no telling what kind of trouble Pungcheongyo, which did not even have Gowol, would suffer if it could not bring in new soldiers.
“So you want to save the Pungcheon religious leader?”
“Yes, it is. “If you become one of Confucius’ people, you will be able to avoid that misfortune.”
Get the Pungcheon religious leader? As a result, I thought that although many problems would arise, it was a choice that had as many benefits as disadvantages. Above all.
“This is my military’s first offer, so I should accept it. Alright, let’s bring the Pungcheon religious leader to our side.”
“thank you.”
Gao Yue bowed his head politely and bowed.
I plan to give him proper military treatment. Just like a father treats Sima Ming.
“Aren’t you worried that I’ll ruin it?”
“what?”
“You know that Master Pungcheon and I are deeply emotionally intertwined, right? “If you treat him wrongly, Pungcheongyo might become your enemy.”
“Well, that could be possible.”
“But why did you allow it?”
“Will it be okay if we ignore each other? Rather, I think that if you don’t see it, the hate and hatred will only grow bigger. I think it would be better to fight and stir-fry with the Pungcheon religious leader and settle the matter. “Whether you join our side or become our enemy, let’s come to a conclusion somehow.”
Like Hyeolcheon Doma and Ilhwa Sword Zone. Gowol’s expression brightened at my words.
I held out my hand to him.
“Let’s shake hands.”
Gowol said as he held my hand.
“Hands stronger than shackles.”
“A hand that can break a thousand years of iron? “Are you saying these are hands that are like shackles to hold you back?”
“Which one are you?”
“I like both?”
“I like both.”
We held hands vigorously.
Finally, I have a soldier.
* * *
The next day, I went to visit the head of Pungcheon Church.
“It’s a good car in the midfield.”
Instead of saying thank you, the leader of Pungcheon scoffed.
“Are you here to brag about giving your soldier a million nyang? “It would be nice to have lots of money.”
“I just came to see you. And doesn’t the religious leader have a hundred times more money than I do?”
“What a hundred times! “It must be a thousand times more.”
“sure. I am also a person who looks at where to lie down and stretches my feet. “How could you boast about your money in front of the religious leader?”
“Then why did you come?”
“I came because I wanted to have a cup of tea and a chat.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church started with a suspicious look. It was a natural reaction since the sense of damage he had accumulated because of me was even greater than that of the new object behind him.
“Actually, I have concerns regarding Gowol.”
“What are you worried about?”
“You saw it yesterday, right? “It’s frivolous showing off money in front of the religious leader.”
“Are you saying you were disappointed?”
I didn’t say anything, but I seemed a little disappointed. Of course, it was something Gowol ordered. To create this situation, Gowol boasted about money yesterday.
“I don’t know much about Gowol.”
“But why did you show such extreme sincerity?”
“So I thought about it carefully…”
“Have you tried it?”
“I think it might have been like a stepping stone to establish a relationship between the religious leader and me.”
“Do you know that person? “That you are stabbing me in the back like this.”
“It’s not gossip or betrayal. “It’s true as it is.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“I was wondering if Gowol was a trustworthy person.”
Displeasure flashed across the face of the leader of the Pungcheon Church.
“Look here, Mr. Lee.”
“yes.”
“When I say good things, please leave today.”
I just said hello to the cold welcome and got up.
“Then I’ll see you next time.”
Being kicked out like this was also in Gowol’s prediction.
* * *
The next day, Gowol visited the leader of Pungcheon Church.
“These! “What are you planning to do now?”
Still, I felt happier than when the sword dance performance came.
“I’m here as a guest, so please be polite.”
“It’s terrible.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church turned to his side and sat down.
Gowol went to the table next to him and took tea with his own hand. Since there were only two people at the residence of the Pungcheon religious leader and they did not fight much, the Pungcheon religious leader usually rode in the car.
“Are you trying to poison me?”
“What would you do by poisoning the religious leader?”
“You can live happily with Lee Gongja in a world without me, right?”
“You have to be alive to boast about it. “Like bragging about money yesterday.”
“What a crazy guy.”
Gowol brought tea.
“Please eat. Now that I think about it, this is the first car I’ve driven with my own hands.”
Although he had a disapproving look on his face, the leader of the Pungcheon Church sipped his tea and drank it.
“How is it?”
“not delicious.”
“I’ll just have one drink and then I’ll be gone.”
“Anyway.”
The two drank tea in silence. Then the leader of Pungcheon suddenly spoke.
“Gongja Lee doesn’t completely trust you.”
Originally, I never wanted to tell you. This was my honest feeling. But when we actually met face to face, it didn’t go well.
“Are you an epileptic?”
I just told you what? The leader of Pungcheon Church, who was about to get angry, snorted.
“Consider it that way.”
Only then did Gowol smile and say.
“I’m touched. “Please tell me all those things.”
“I heard it’s an affair?”
“I know not.”
“how?”
“It’s an operation.”
The leader of Pungcheon was surprised to hear the word “operation.”
“Operations? “What operation?”
“It’s a plan to attract the religious leader. “This is a plan to drive Mr. Lee into a corner by being suspicious of me and to take advantage of the leader’s weak heart to draw him to our side.”
“what?”
After being dazed for a moment, the leader of Pungcheon raised his voice.
“Do you think I would fall for such a trivial strategy?”
“If I’m cornered, will you just watch?”
“of course! “He’s already gone, so why me?”
“Why are you excited now?”
“I wasn’t excited. “I didn’t do it!”
But it was clear that the leader of Pungcheon was excited.
“But why are you telling me?”
“Because I don’t want to trick the leader into bringing me here.”
“!”
At that time, I was hesitating, not knowing what the Pungcheon religious leader would say. Gowol spoke again.
“Even saying this is an operation. “It’s an operation that makes you trust me even more.”
“What on earth are you talking about? This ghost-like bastard continues to torment me even after he leaves! Whoa! “Go away!”
“Now you are like a religious leader.”
“Is it like me to scream? Are you kidding me? okay? “I’ll yell at you without any hesitation, so feel free to mock me as much as you want!”
As he shouted loudly, the leader of Pungcheon felt relieved.
“Why are you taking me to this extent?”
“If things continue like this, I think I will be attacked by the Heavenly Demon Church leader.”
Gowol treated the leader of the Pungcheon Church honestly from beginning to end.
“I won’t get hit! “As soon as I get back, I’ll be looking for new soldiers.”
“I know roughly who will sit in my seat within Pungcheon Bridge, right? “There are too many of them.”
“You just have to save it. “Just like I saved you.”
“Will such luck come twice?”
“shit! Damn it! “You arrogant bastard!”
“I have now beaten all my cards. Now it’s the leader’s turn to play cards.”
“…I know all my cards anyway.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church let out a long sigh.
“Gongja Lee will steal everything from me.”
“Then, get whatever the leader wants every time. If you lose one, get another to make up for it.”
“I can’t do that with my head, right?”
“I will help.”
“Go and help yourself. Don’t be shackled there and become a mess. “People try to be nice and show off, but that’s where they end up.”
“That’s right. Since it’s there, let’s hang out together.”
“Can I really trust you?”
“Are you nervous?”
“Wouldn’t you be nervous?”
At that time, Gao Yue’s expression changed and his tone suddenly changed.
“It’s the leader.”
The head of Pungcheon looked at him with a happy yet surprised face.
“Don’t lie. You’ve never been nervous in your life so far. Never happened, right? Because there was nothing threatening the cult leader. Are you nervous just thinking about advancing to the midfield? Don’t lie. He sang a song about advancing to the midfield and advancing to the midfield, but he never thought about it seriously, right? What does that mean and what results will it lead to? Honestly, it was a bother to the religious leader, right?”
“!”
I couldn’t deny it. This is because it is a long-cherished wish for both grandfather and father, and it has become a long-cherished wish for him as well. I just wanted to advance to the central region because I felt like I would become a sinner of Pungcheonism if I refused to do so.
“A life where you can kill people with just one word, embrace all kinds of beautiful women, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day is also good. Because it’s the life everyone dreams of. But, cult leader, you have lived your life to the fullest, right? Now there is no stimulation or happiness in that life, right? Teacher, let’s live another life. Let’s live a life that is tense, thrilling, and heart-pounding. I need to show the world what a bloody wind and wind really is. And then, if you’re unlucky, you could end up dying. Luckily, we have someone who can bring a flower to each other’s graves, right?”
The two people’s gazes became intertwined in the air. Soon, the leader of Pungcheon spoke softly.
“Call Lee Gongja.”
