Episode 983Create a gap (8)
Fifteen days have passed.
The troops that went out to Shanxi entered the vicinity of Daebyeolsan Mountain in Hanam.
Even though they won the battle, the faces of the warriors were full of fatigue, perhaps because they had suffered so much.
Tang Sang-ah glanced at the warriors and said.
âYouâre very tired.â
âBecause it wasnât an ordinary fight.â
Itâs not that even experienced martial artists donât feel fatigue. Rather, they often become more mentally exhausted.
The reason is that although you can get used to fighting, it is difficult to get used to killing. If you become accustomed to killing, you will become a demon, and a person who can overcome the burden of murder with mental strength can live another day in the martial forest.
âEven if you fight with faith as a member of the unit, you will eventually get tired as long as you follow someone elseâs orders. âHow well they overcome it is the fate of the warriors, and it is the superiorâs responsibility to guide them so that they can overcome it well.â
Namgoongpyo shook his head.
âI donât think so.â
âEveryone has different thoughts. âI donât want to force my thoughts either.â
When you say that, I have nothing to say.
Pang Dae-ho asked quietly.
âWhat do you think, Namgung?â
Namgoongpyoâs performance in this battle was outstanding.
It could be said that he was great not because he killed many enemy soldiers, but because he protected his allies well. Thatâs not something anyone can do.
Additionally, a person with that level of mental power would have his or her own opinions and beliefs.
Namgoongpyo said.
âMy subject is myself, not the unit commander or anyone else. âEven if you are caught up in the situation and feel tired, it is up to you to overcome it.â
âhmm.â
âIf things collapse just because things arenât going well, it wonât end there. âIt would be welcome if someone helped me, but in the end, if I canât get up properly, the help is useless.â
Although it seemed different, it was similar when you think about it.
Without the teachings of his grandfather, Namgung Seung, Namgungpyo would not have been able to escape from his previous frivolity and jealousy. SÑará´h the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
If you think that way, Mo Yong-woo is right. Because with just a little help from someone, a person who almost went astray can walk the right path.
However, even if you receive help, if you do not realize it yourself, you will just stay in that position. In the end, what matters is myself, so if you look at it that way, Namgoongpyo was right.
Namgoongpyo is probably feeling his own changes better than anyone else. What he said was based on his own realization.
âFaith can always be shaken.â
Zhuge Jun said calmly.
âIsnât it enough just to know that you can survive, whether with help or on your own? âI have to live before enlightenment to even have a chance to fix something. Iâm scared of dying without my ability to grow further.â
These were truly Zhuge Jun-like words.
They had this conversation all the way from Shanxi to here. We exchanged opinions on topics that did not have a specific answer or need to be decided.
Although it seemed leisurely at first glance, it was actually a very important conversation. The unit members who listened to their conversation also forgot about their hardships for a moment and looked back on their lives for the greater good.
Isnât it true that each and every such conversation accumulates and creates great people and a great world in the future?
Yeon Ho-jeong thought while listening to their conversation.
âItâs unity.â
Namgoongpyo, who was worried on the inside, was a bit sharp in his expressions and personality, but he knew how to accept other peopleâs words well.
Growth becomes resilient when that happens. After completing their mission and returning, they grew to another level.
With that alone, Yeonhojeong was satisfied. It felt good just to see the people who would become the pillars of the future powerhouse develop quickly and deeply.
âHow are you, brother?â
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head at Jegal Junâs unexpected question.
âme?â
âyes.â
âwhat?â
âThere is a big difference between us and martial arts, so I donât really have to ask. What Iâm curious about is how you didnât lose yourself while fighting so many battles.â
Everyone looked at Yeonhojeong with curious eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke clearly.
âI lost a lot.â
âYes?â
âI lost it again and again and came back again and again. And when I came back to life, I was clearly different from the person I was before I lost it.â
ââ¦!â
âIt may look the same, but the eyes you see and the way your head turns are different. I did. âIt kept changing.â
âIt doesnât seem like that at all.â
âEven if a sword in a sheath looks fine on the outside after ten years, doesnât the inside rot away?â
ââ¦.â
âThe change of people is the same. What you see on the outside isnât everything. âIf the words and actions are the same but the thoughts are different, things have changed in the end.â
ââ¦okay.â
âBut thereâs no need for others to understand that. âIf I know myself, that is enough.â
ââ¦.â
âThe problem is not how to overcome frustration and fear. Overcoming it is natural. âThe important thing is not whether I overcome it, but how I change after I overcome it.â
Think beyond one dimension.
Their concerns are already just the starting point for Yeon Ho-jeong. The only important thing is how Yeonhojeong controls the changed me and how to prove the current me with my changed opinions.
However, this did not mean that Yeon Ho-jeong was superior to them. It was just a matter of which part to focus more on.
However, if such thoughts supported Yeon Ho-jeongâs life, it is clear that they would have had a great influence on his martial arts development.
People pondered Yeon Ho-jeongâs words.
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
âItâs not that big of a deal, so donât worry about it. âIn fact, you guys look much more amazing in my eyes.â
Zhuge Jun chuckled.
âAre you serious?â
âI am a person who does not know harmony. There have been cases of unintentional harmony, but usually attempts were made to induce coercive solidarity. âThat is my weakness.â
âHmm.â
âI like conversations like this. However, it is not a question of who is right, so what is important is how to accept other opinions and develop in your own way. Like the martial arts of the martial arts people and the thoughts of a scholar.â
It was a statement that stood out for its flexibility.
Mo Yong-woo caught a glimpse of the people walking lost in thought and approached Yeonhojeong.
âArenât you sick of this kind of cringy conversation?â
âDo you admit that this is a cheesy conversation?â
âIâm being cringy at you. âWe are good.â
âThatâs enough.â
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
âIt looks light. âBetter than before the fight.â
âIs that so?â
Does this mean that something was shaken off?
Yeon Ho-jeong didnât know. I didnât think there was a need to know.
However, as Mo Yong-woo said, I felt like I was in a better mood than before the fight with Nagak-roe.
âIt feels like itâs been a while.â
âwhat?â
âIt means joining the Murim Alliance.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes were scanning the various peaks of Daebyeol Mountain.
I couldnât see it, but I could feel it. That there are countless people in it.
The Murim Alliance, which boasted the size of a small kingdom, was still full of vitality. At least it was very different from the Shinmarim or Mukryongbu imperial palaces.
âIf you think about it, it was not long ago that we left for Cheonghae.â
âDo you like it? âGoing to the Murim League.â
âOriginally I didnât think much of it⦠but now I do.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âIn fact, isnât the Murim Alliance a place of harmony? âBecause so many people are gathered together and working toward one goal.â
âThere are many people who are not like that.â
âThere are many people who are greedy. There are probably many people who are plotting insidious schemes. But it is fortunate that at least they are surrounded by a light so bright that they do not dare to raise their heads.â
âI see.â
âSo we have to go even further. âBecause you never know what might happen.â
âhmm? âWhat does that mean?â
âI canât be sure because we havenât lived for hundreds of years, but the Murim League of our time is brighter and more energetic than any other Murim League in the past.â
âhmm.â
âBut the gap was too big.â
âBlank?â
âSo far, the Murim Alliance has done many things. âWe repeatedly blocked this, resolved that, dispatched warriors to unimaginable areas, and somehow reconciled and suppressed them.â
âIt did.â
âWe are who we are, but how many warriors were lost and replenished in the process?â
âItâs hard to point out each one. Fortunately, the martial arts people around the world view Bon Maeng favorably, so there are a lot of applicants.â
âIt is a fortunate but also dangerous moment.â
âdanger?â
âItâs Sejak.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes gave off a bloody glow.
âDo you think Sejak will be active in the Murim Alliance?â
âGap in military history, gap in time. The Murim Alliance was a void itself. Just looking at it right now, it is like that. âTwo units of the Six Dragons, the elite unit of the Murim Alliance, went to Shanxi.â
âDonât all other organizations do the same?â
âThe problem is that the Murim Alliance has become the central point of power. âThere will be no other party like this for welcoming events and gatherings.â
Mo Yong-wooâs face became cautious.
âI heard that you caught all three fish the other day.â
âIs that possible?â
âYou didnât catch everything?â
âWe caught everything we could see, and if there was even one left, we simply overwhelmed them so they could no longer function.â
ââ¦!â
âSejak is everywhere.â
ââ¦Are you talking about Sejak again?â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âItâs Sejak again. âAs long as the war doesnât end, or even if the superficial war ends, Sejak will be everywhere.â
âSo you kept quiet even though you knew everything?â
âIt canât be. I told the leader and the soldiers right away. Of course, they also knew.â
âI see.â
Mo Yong-woo let out a sigh.
âYou shouldnât just deal with what you can see. âI donât know if it would be of much help, but I should have kept that in mind as well.â
âHaving an older brother would be of great help. And you donât have to beat yourself up like that. âItâs natural to not easily remember unfamiliar areas.â
âNo, but I should have thought of it. âIt should have been assumed.â
Mo Yong-woo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with calm eyes.
His eyes were calm, but at the same time shining with determination.
âI decided to run properly.â
ââ¦!â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes wavered.
Did you decide to run properly? What does that mean?
Since those words come out of the mouth of leading candidate Mo Yong-woo, they can only have one meaning.
âolder brother.â
âI thought I was forced into a seat by you guys. âItâs the same in reality.â
ââ¦.â
âBut no matter who said it, I constantly thought about how I should move in order to do my best in my position and how I should act in order to live my life.â
A look of turbulence appeared on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
âI will try my best to become the next leader. âIf I donât have the ability to do it, then thereâs nothing I can do.â
ââ¦.â
âBut now I am very disappointed in myself. âThe guy who said he was looking at high places actually only saw the sun and couldnât see the shadows.â
âitâs okay.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âYou just have to keep learning.â
âYouâre already acting like youâre the leader.â
âI canât help it if it doesnât work out, but thereâs no harm in learning, right?â
âha ha ha! âYou are right.â
It was a casual conversation, but it was truly an unforgettable conversation for Yeon Ho-jeong.
âBut why didnât you try to catch him before? âIâm not sure about that either.â
âIt wasnât a situation where we could catch it. But the time was finally ripe.â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.
âMaybe this will start a war.â
