Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 187
< Episode 187 > Poetry. (1)
A trivial thing. ⑴
After visiting Shaolin, it was time to go back to Jinshanxi.
The more we have, the less we can do. The time has come when there is nothing more to gain
.
I really had to leave.
It had been a little over ten days since I arrived in Hanam, but
there were more things than expected.
‘On the contrary, I also knew a lot.’
I knew it and I got it.
“Didn’t you leave anything behind?”
Even as I hurriedly packed my things, I kept asking Hongwa. Did you ask five times?
Thanks to that, even Hongwa had a slightly troubled expression.
“You packed everything.”
“okay?”
“You don’t bring much luggage, so you’ll be fine.”
It seemed to be a little twisted, but it was fine.
To be honest, it was true that I didn’t pack my things.
‘Don’t bother bringing something.’
It was enough for training clothes.
[You’re saying the right thing!]
‘…’
It was subtle when Noya expressed her affirmation as if she sympathized with her.
Do I have to say that I sympathized with something that shouldn’t be the case?
[The Muin regards training as important, so what’s the problem?]
Noya would forcefully wake me up and have me practice if I wanted to get up a little later in the morning
.
It became a habit and now it has changed naturally.
Suddenly, I wondered how this old man practiced when he was alive.
‘It wouldn’t have been a normal robbery.’
From the point of view of using the same training method that Yeongpoong used to do.
It was unlikely that a nobleman called Hwasan Seongeom would have done less than that.
After reading my thoughts, Noya immediately snorted.
[Don’t you think of increasing the intensity soon?]
‘Yes, I’ll have to increase it.’
Maybe it’s because they ate energy, or it’s because the bet is starting to assimilate with the body
.
Compared to before, training is not so difficult.
‘Just now…’
Even when I practiced in the morning,
I felt like nothing was wrong even though I increased the intensity a little more than usual.
[It’s ripe, but the body is finally.]
A state where the body and spirit are mixed at the climax.
This is usually referred to as the peak of maturity.
[Then, now is the turning point.]
‘Yes.’
Noya nodded at his words.
Now that I’m used to the climax, I have to move forward to reach the hwagyeong.
If climax is the first wall in the first class, Hwagyeong is like the tomb of a soldier. Most
of them were called geniuses throughout their lives and collapsed because they could not reach the Hwagyeong even after polishing their martial arts
.
There are many people who are satisfied with just reaching the climax because they have already changed the course
.
‘Though it has nothing to do with me.’
If you’re like me, you can’t stop here.
There was no need to hesitate because I had already been there.
Nonetheless, the reason Noya is a turning point for me
is that preparation takes longer than expected.
Make your body accustomed to not only betting, but also the pierced stoppage game.
Many said that it was a state that needed enlightenment.
In my case it was different.
A bet that is more than enough to fill the danjeon.
When the bowl was full and overflowed, another world appeared
.
This, of course, was from my point of view.
There are only a few people in the world who can pull out a bet that overflows Danjeon. It was a method
that a person like me, who used to bet like crazy at the time, should try
.
‘I’ll have to build a body to support that bet.’
A bet is also a bet, but now I had to focus on making the bowl hard.
That was also the reason I wanted to increase the intensity of the training.
‘Can I reach you before the terms and conditions are exceeded?’
had to reach
That would make things easier.
[You’re impatient.]
‘Isn’t the situation a bit relaxed?’
[That’s right, it seems that you need a moderate sense of impatience.]
Apparently, the moment you arrive at the three houses, you should increase the intensity of your training.
‘I’ll ask my father about meteors.’ It’s been a while
since I visited the Shanxi branch in Haomen…
It’s time to finish the work I’ve decided step by step.
‘Is Noya okay?’
[hmm? What do you mean?]
‘I’m asking if it’s okay to go back like this.’
An associate of Shin Noya in Shaolin.
It was a question about Hwang Ah Bul Young and Cheol Young.
If I go back like this, I don’t know when I will come back here.
However, Shin Noya answers my question in a calm voice.
[What’s the problem? I will see you again someday.]
It seemed like a natural thing to say.
[And I have to go now, because it’s obvious that the goddamn bald head is going to spit out a lot of curse words
.]
‘ .Swear words?’
Middle ear… Curse?
Come to think of it, I think Noya once
said that the host of the time was caught eating meat when he was young.
Was that Hwang Ah Bul Young?
Somehow, I felt like I knew a little bit why the two were close.
..
‘Between each other…’
[What man?]
‘No.’
[ Heung, he said he’d take a break, so I’ll have to let him rest first. If you look at it later
, it’s enough to curse a bunch.] I
can feel the affection and longing subtly contained in the grunting words.
Still, a colleague and a close friend are close friends.
‘Friendly friend.’
It was a relationship that I didn’t know in detail because I hadn’t lived with that kind of thing.
‘There is one child.’
Only one person would probably fall asleep on Wudang Mountain now.
At least he was someone who could be called a friend.
It was futile because now you probably won’t remember it anyway.
‘I wanted to see your face this time.’
Unfortunately, he didn’t appear at this Yongbong branch meeting, so we never knew when we would see him
.
“young master!”
Around the time I was packing my things, the baby Wee Seol suddenly appeared and hugged me.
“I’m ready!”
I asked while stroking the hair of Wi Seol-ah, who was wrapped in his arms.
“Are you done?”
“yes!”
Seeing this, Hongwa hurriedly approached and separated Wi Seol-ah.
“You have to stand!”
“Ei-ing…”
I tried to grab the cheek because his face turned into tears every time he got scolded.
“… I don’t think I have any balls to catch.”
Compared to the first time I saw it, the uniquely reduced breast meat made my heart ache.
[There’s something else that hurts… Are you insane?]
‘I don’t know because I haven’t touched Noya.’
[…]
At my words, I heard the sound of Noya swallowing his breath for a moment.
I think I hit you too hard.
Who said it was a joke?
But this was Noya’s fault.
While the attendants packed my things, I also went down to the inn.
In the inn, the others were already talking about whether or not they had finished tidying up.
I see Bia Namgung dozing on her stomach and Dang So-yeol calmly drinking tea.
and.
‘Why is he here?’
Sitting next to him, wearing a cotton thread, was definitely Mo Yong-hui.
It was the first time I had seen her since we parted ways in Shaolin the other day.
Well, it was a few days.
“ah! Confucius, are you here?”
Dang Soyeol finds me and smiles brightly.
It was Dang So-yeol who laughed a lot these days.
“Would you like to eat?”
“Didn’t you eat it all?”
“There is still time left, so it will be okay to eat.”
“okay ? Shall we eat then?”
As I approached, Dang So-yeol slipped out the chair next to me.
Touching the chair with his hand tuk-tuk seemed to be asking him to sit here.
After sitting down, I immediately called Jeom Soi and ordered food. As always, somen noodles
and dumplings were enough.
“But…”
As soon as I sat down on the chair, my eyes naturally went to Mo Yong-hee.
“Why is Moyong Sojour here?”
Mo Yong-hee did not pay attention to my question.
What are you ignoring?
‘Why are you wearing a cotton thread?’ It
was only when I first saw it at Bacheonmaru that I was wearing it, but I don’t think I’ve
been wearing it since then.
“Moyongsojeo?”
Only then did Mo Yong-hee turn her head this way after I called her twice.
As I turned my head, something seemed very stiff.
not?
99
“Hello.”
“Where are you sick?”
“No…”
But why is her voice shaking like that?
It looked like something was out of order, so I sneaked up to Dang So-yeol next to him and
asked him in his ear.
“…Why is that person like that?”
At my question, Dang Xiaoyeol also shakes his head.
It was the look of not knowing.
“He came in the morning without a word. It was always that way.”
So why the hell…?
I thought it was because I had something to say.
For such a thing, the gaze processing was quite unnatural.
Between the fluttering cotton threads, somehow, reddened cheeks and ears caught my eye
.
“Moyongsojeo.”
“. .yes.”
Fortunately, there was a brief gap this time, but the answer was heard.
“What are you doing?”
“…that is.
99
Mo Yong-hee tries to say something, but suddenly shuts her mouth.
Silence came and I heard the sound of Mo Yong-hee breathing thinly.
After a short time, Mo Yong-hee changed her behavior and
started talking to me again.
“I heard you were leaving today, so I came to say hello.”
The subtle trembling of the voice disappeared.
The movements that were somehow unnatural became natural again.
It was nice that it disappeared because I was worried about the appearance that seemed to be broken somewhere.
Until right before Mo Yong-hee, I didn’t know why he was like that.
“I mean hello.”
“yes.”
Mo Yong-hee carefully took out an object from her bosom and handed it to me.
I accepted this and asked her.
“What is this?”
“This is a seal that we ask you to use comfortably if you use our top someday
.”
At Mo Yong-hee’s words, I checked the goods.
A ring studded with blue jade stones. According to her explanation
, it seems that it is an item that can receive
preferential treatment from the Okcheon Merchants Company run by the Moyong family .
“Why are you giving this to me?”
Even if it is not until the top of the midfield when it comes to Okcheon. It was a place of great standing
.
In particular, as much as I intensively export and import cloth and silk.
I used it to make clothes, and
it was a place that women often used because of its high quality.
“Your uniform was worn out a lot.”
I was walking around so much that my clothes were mostly damaged.
“ .It’s not like I’m the type of person who pays particular attention to living.”
At my words, Mo Yong-hee smiled slightly.
I couldn’t see it because of the cotton yarn, but it seemed to be smiling.
“It is not something to be burdened with. I’m just asking you to use it comfortably
, so please don’t think too much.”
“…Yes, thank you.”
Having said that, it was hard to refuse.
I wanted to give you something too.
Although he was a blood relative of a famous family, he did not carry anything with him.
When you want to rummage through your luggage in a hurry.
Mo Yong-hee calmly raises her body.
“Then let’s go first.”
“yes ?”
Rather, her words made me groan.
“Are you here to give me this?”
“Yes. Because it is better to finish the public business quickly.”
My eyes widened slightly at Mo Yong-hee’s words.
If it’s a public business.
‘Is it to put the kite lightly?’
Maybe because of those words, I felt a little more at ease. If you approached it from Sega’s point of view,
you wouldn’t have to feel burdened.
‘I must have looked too deeply.’
Could it be because the emotions the people around me gave me were particularly strong?
I wondered if even Mo Yong-hee had a different idea of me.
Fortunately, it was self-consciousness.
‘That’s right, it was a strange idea for Mo Yong-hee to have such thoughts toward someone
.’
I made a mistake thinking I knew Mo Yong-hee well.
Just because he stood out in this non-music title.
He must have come to establish a relationship as a blood relative of the famous family.
“Thank you. Moyongsojeo.”
At my words, Mo Yong-hee slightly bowed her head and took an example.
Then, as if he had no regrets,
he walked towards the door with a dignified gait along with the attendant.
“Oh. Old Gongja.”
Mo Yong-hee, who was about to go out the door, suddenly called me.
“yes.”
When I answered this, Mo Yong-hee did not answer and took the appearance of hesitation
.
In a way, it seemed like he was just standing still.
I felt that Mo Yong-hee’s breathing became a little rough due to the widened field of view
.
Should I say that I am breathing deeply without revealing it as much as possible?
“Aren’t you going back to three streets?”
“Probably so.”
“…okay.”
Mo Yong-hee, who was about to say something more, stopped, shook her head slightly, and
spoke again.
“Then see you next time.”
After these words, Mo Yong-hee goes out the door.
It was somehow faster than before.
It seemed like he had something to say, but it was too formal a greeting for such a thing
.
‘ what?’
I couldn’t pinpoint it, but it was an uncomfortable meeting without knowing what it was.
I think there’s something more.
Around the time I wondered why he was like that.
[As expected.]
Noya spits out in a faint voice.
‘Who are you talking about?’
I was just talking about Mo Yong-hee.
If it is true, I tried to ask because I wanted to know who said that Mo Yong-hee and A-ah resembled each other.
I shut my mouth shut at the sudden thought.
It felt like he was giving off an aura as if he was telling Shinnoya not to ask.
‘If I ask now, I think I’ll be really cut off.’
My survival instinct told me so.
I am praising myself for not speaking up.
“ .It’s ruined.”
Dang So-yeol can be seen muttering something to himself next to him.
“It looks like it was twisted again. When the hell? why?”
“…What are you doing again?”
It was frightening because the kids seemed somehow not normal.
When I ask in a worried voice, Tang Xiaoyeol turns to me.
“Are these flowers, Confucius?”
“What do you mean, flowers?”
“But why do you keep getting bees?”
“Normally, this should be the other way around…but obviously…”
Let Dang So-yeol keep muttering to himself first.
I picked up a dumpling and ate it.
Even if I touched that, I thought it would only hurt me.
‘…I must have had a nightmare at night.’
Because there are days when everyone is not sane.
Wudang Mountain located in Hubei.
It is one of the old file rooms, and it is a place where shamans who mainly use swords and swords are located.
Passing through the high and steep mountain, the young guru was running and panting.
Just by looking at the book tightly wrapped in his hand and his trembling eyes, you could tell how urgent he was
.
After running for a long time, the boy
was able to stop his legs only when he reached the bottom of a huge tree.
“Sa-sa-ye-ung!”
The boy shouts before he even has time to catch his breath.
The direction was up the tree.
“Say tongue…Sa tongue uh!”
Despite the boy’s voice calling sadly, the person the boy is looking for
seems to have no intention of appearing.
Eventually, the boy, who had been crying for a long time, gnashed his teeth and shouted in a louder voice.
“Hey damn…!”
baek!
“Keek!”
The boy screamed and fell backwards at a stone he didn’t know where it had come from
.
Before long, someone landed in front of the fallen boy.
“Your talking habits are like shit, priest.”
“.. If you don’t do this, the death penalty won’t appear.”
The one who appeared in front of the boy was a young man with a fierce face somewhere.
Because of the uniform he was wearing and the sword he wore around his waist,
it was easy to guess that he was a practitioner belonging to a shaman.
There seemed to be some distance from the aura of an ascetic.
“You should know that the death penalty like the sky is the time to sleep, but what happened to this
?”
“The sun is up in the middle of the sky, what kind of sleep…”
“Would you like another shot?”
“ .Woosa-hyung lost.”
At the boy’s words, the young man tilted his head.
“I guess so. He wasn’t expecting to win there.”
A disciple of a shaman who is said to have gone out to the festival. They say he picked up a few people because he didn’t go out
.
Do you have the chin to be
The boy continued to speak, rubbing his forehead.
“It’s not like that, they say we lost in the preliminaries.”
” .huh?”
When the young man heard that, he frowned.
“Anyway, that’s not important. execution.”
“…Isn’t that important?”
Isn’t it important that the shaman’s disciple lost in the preliminaries?
So what’s important?
“Do you know that the death penalty is Guyangchun?”
“Uh… what?”
The young man’s expression darkened even more at the boy’s words.
The boy had a hunch that if he said the wrong thing here, he would get another hit.
With a fierce survival instinct, the boy immediately handed the letter he was holding to the young man.
“What is this?”
“It’s a letter sent by Brother Wu.”
“Did the loser even send a letter? Heh heh…”
There is something chewy in the voice of a benevolent smile.
The boy realized that it was never a good feeling.
‘Wow brother-in-law…’
The boy just wished for the comfort of the death penalty.
Putting that aside, the young man who was reading the book for a long time suddenly spat out words.
“Are you close with me?”
It was a line that listed the excuses for losing in front of him.
The young man skipped over this because it was not very important.
I couldn’t help but frown at the words written near the last line of the letter.
“Yes, if this is correct, Sasook asks the brother-in-law…”
“Who?”
“Okay… Yangcheon.”
“therefore. Who is that?”
‘Ask me why.’
The boy struggled to manage his expression.
It is said that a person named Gu Yang-cheon said that he was friendly with Jam-ryong
.
The person in front of him had an unfamiliar expression.
“I don’t know?
99
“…yes, me too.”
“Then find out.”
“ Yes? What?”
“He says he’s close with me, but I don’t know, so go find out.”
“” I don’t know what kind of bullshit this is, so the boy
is looking at
the young man or the jamryong with a dumbfounded expression .
Jamryong smiles benevolently and tells the boy.
“What are you doing, priest. Run.”
The boy laughed as well.
‘Fuck you.’
The words ran out while spitting out curses inwardly.
