Chapter 422
422fury. strange dream
“I have something to tell you..”
After speaking like that, Baek Soo-ryong just looked at the faces of his former disciples in silence..
“…….”
Before leaving this dream, he took in the images of his disciples one by one. And they slowly called each person's name one by one..
“No. 1.”
“yes.”
Ilho, who inherited the martial arts sword.
Numerous scars were visible beneath the sharp eyes. Almost half of them were engraved by him..
“Lee Ho.”
“yes.”
Lee Ho, who inherited Bing Baek Shin Gong.
The little girl who used to sob under the blanket every night became a woman with an expression as cold as ice. On that face, I could see the image of Seol Su-ryeon, who was cursing herself and dying in the North Sea..
“Samho.”
“……yes.”
Samho, who inherited the Surahyeolcheondo.
He was the most energetic of the four..
Even now, I'm trying to hide my anger with my head down, but my tightly closed mouth is full of dissatisfaction..
“saho.”
“…….”
Saho, who inherited the 18 Nokrim sects.
The young man, who had become mute in an accident while sparring with his classmates, bowed his head in silence. Because he was a man of few words to begin with, Twenty-Seven did not realize until several days later that his student had lost his voice..
When Saho got angry and asked why he didn't tell me right away, he wrote this on a piece of paper in crooked letters:.
-No problem with training.
He was a foolishly honest guy. To the extent that I have never confronted my teacher even once in ten years..
White Water Dragon's gaze finally rested on Saho, then turned his head and looked at the distant sky..
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so such…….
The world was falling apart little by little from afar..
This means that the Yeokcheon Blood Flow Method is coming to an end..
When Dafa is completely finished, we will return to reality..
Baek Soo-ryong turned his head from the collapsing world and looked at his disciples again..
“What I'm going to say now may be a little strange, but... … . I just want you to listen.”
“…….”
This is not a memory that actually occurred in a past life..
In other words, everything I say from now on may just be meaningless self-talk and excuses for self-consolation..
Baek Soo-ryong knew that fact better than anyone else..
“In a few days, I will escape the blood religion with the masters in prison..”
“…….”
The expressionless expressions of the disciples changed little by little..
But I wasn't shocked by what Baek Soo-ryong said..
disbelief).
The relationship they formed was askew from the beginning..
Now, ten years later, the disciples were distrustful and suspicious of anything their teacher said..
They looked at their teacher with wary eyes, wondering if the intention behind those words was to test them..
Knowing the reason very well, Baek Soo-ryong continued speaking with a bitter expression..
“…… The plan will ultimately fail. You will stop me, and I will die together with my masters. For you, it is the future that will happen soon, and for me, it is the past that cannot be changed..”
“What are you talking about??”
Ilho asked, raising his eyes sharply..
Showing off a ferocious force as if he would pull out his sword at any moment..
“…… Even if it is to test us, we cannot ignore what you just said. You know better than anyone else that even if I were to join you right here, I would have nothing to say..”
As if I've been waiting for this moment.
When Ilho sent a signal with his eyes, his disciples immediately surrounded Baek Soo-ryong..
He still looks like he can't believe that his extremely cunning teacher has revealed his own weakness..
However, if the instructor really betrayed the blood cult, they would not hesitate to take action..
Baek Soo-ryong smiled bitterly and said,.
“……Even if I had asked you to escape together, nothing would have changed..”
“I will ask you one last question! If you don't explain it properly……!”
The moment the disciples' bodies erupted from their bodies, Baeksu-ryong's eyes and hair turned red..
“Female, reverse heavenly attack……!”
“how do you…….”
“This doesn't make sense!”
“…….”
The lives of the disciples, who had been cutting like blades, were scattered in the air, and everyone looked at their teacher with shocked expressions..
Baek Soo-ryong reflexively stopped his disciples from kneeling. An unprecedented power stopped them..
“Just stay still.”
This world is not real.
A strange dream created by a combination of past life memories and the supernatural abilities of the Reverse Heavenly Art..
In the end, the disciples' reaction may be nothing more than Baek Soo-ryong's wish or wish..
That's why Baek Soo-ryong didn't want to hear any answers here..
Because I didn’t want to be that cowardly..
“Don't say anything, just listen to me..”
““…….””
Baek Soo-ryong didn't even know what he wanted to say..
I've put a lot of thought and thought into it, but I still haven't been able to come up with a complete answer..
So I decided to just say what I wanted to say..
“I will be reincarnated. No, I already did..”
“…….”
The disciples' eyes were full of confusion..
But no one spoke. I looked at my teacher as if I was looking at an incomprehensible being..
“I have a family I never had in my previous life, I made friends, and I met new disciples..”
“…….”
The old disciples resembled Cheongnyonggomang a little bit..
Every time he saw young faces laughing, crying, and talking at Baekryongjang, Baeksuryong felt deep in his heart that faces full of hurt were staring at him..
“I still think of you guys often. … … Actually, I do it quite often..”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled awkwardly. It was a very bitter laugh..
“How have you changed over the past fifty years? Since they all had great talents, they would all have become stronger and each would have taken a place in the Blood Cult. I didn't think it would be surprising if the next great blood demon emerged among you.…….”
Baek Su-ryong suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky..
The blood demon's thoughts turned into dust and disappeared, but the entire sky was stained red, perhaps due to the influence of its remnants..
“They say you have become apostles. It seems I'm not the only one who couldn't escape the ghost of a dead blood demon..”
““…….””
“After I found out that you guys were alive, I asked a friend I made at the Blue Dragon Academy about it. What would you do if you met again a student whose life was ruined because of you? So the kid answered like this.”
Baek Soo-ryong remembered Nam Gung-su’s stern expression and laughed as if he were dumbfounded..
“Teach again. If a student is in trouble due to your fault, take responsibility as a teacher and teach them properly again. That kid doesn't know anything... … . But.”
““…….””
The faces of the former disciples who looked back still showed no emotion..
But now I know.
It's not that those guys' emotions have been completely eliminated, they've just become overly adept at hiding them..
Just like my past self did..
“You're free to imagine?”
At that moment, the space and time they were standing in changed..
The former disciples who were young people became boys and girls again, and Baek Soo-ryong became the twenty-seventh number..
“If I could go back to that day, it would be…….”
It was the first day we arrived at the accommodation together..
The day he wielded the whip to enforce discipline and inflicted unforgettable scars on the bodies and minds of his disciples..
Instead of holding the whip, Number 27 held the teaching post next to him..
The four boys and girls were looking at him with brightly shining eyes. Number 27 grinned at them..
“I'll teach you how to hold a weapon one by one. One by one, without haste…….”
The boys and girls each picked up a weapon of their choice and looked happy. They were not dangerous weapons with sharp edges, but wooden weapons appropriate for their age..
“So that you can practice to your heart’s content and no longer get hurt..”
The disciples swung their weapons in a clumsy posture and began practicing martial arts with excited faces, as if they had received a new toy as a gift. They also looked like they were having a lot of fun playing around with each other from time to time..
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong took a few steps back and smiled as he watched his disciples from the perspective of a third party..
But that smile was distorted, as if it had been forced..
“……Just sometimes, I imagine this.”
The boys and girls who were laughing and chatting happily disperse like a mirage..
There were young people there again with insensitive expressions..
No, now, on the contrary, I was getting older quickly..
Gray hair appears between the hairs, and wrinkles gradually appear on the face..
The past decades were weathering the disciples..
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong faced his old disciples who had become old people..
“…….”
“…….”
It may not look like that in reality.
In the end, it was just Baek Soo-ryong's imagination of what his older disciples looked like..
No. 1. Lee Ho. Samho. saho.
Even one shot. Moving too. The Three Apostles. apostle.
The beings who came to be called apostles, using the same number as their old teacher..
Baek Soo-ryong suddenly had a question..
“Do you also have a name??”
“…….”
Maybe the blood demon gave him a new name, and instead of his name, he may have been called by a dignified nickname..
But for some reason, I was convinced that wouldn't be the case..
Old disciples still call each other by number and may not even feel the need to have names..
“How about you make them one by one??”
When Baek Soo-ryong turned his head at the voice coming from behind him, the masters were standing side by side, looking at him..
“Masters……?”
“You bastard! There isn't much time left, so why are you worrying so foolishly?!”
Master Maeng approached and slapped his disciple's back with his palm! I hit it loudly. It was so painful that tears came out for a moment..
It's a dream, how can this happen??
“Does it make you nervous to say that you are only meeting old students? If you're going to apologize, do it! If you're going to make a promise, do it! If you're going to give me a name, give it a name quickly.!”
“Wait a minute, what are the masters doing here?…….”
“If it had been so frustrating, wouldn’t we have come out of prison first! Eh. I need to be able to wait because I feel like my stomach is going to burst when I see you acting like that..”
“…….”
This is ridiculous..
White Water Dragon was the absolute ruler of this dream world, and he never manipulated memories related to his masters..
However, the masters who were supposed to be in prison appeared here at will.?
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong remembered the last greeting with the masters that he had seen in Moon Yool's dream..
-Haha! See you next time!
-Don't overwork yourself.
-It was fun to sing for you, even if just for a moment..
-……Thank you.
“Since when…….”
As Baek Soo-ryong looked at them blankly, the masters laughed and pushed the disciple's back together..
“Now, I have to tell my students what I really wanted to say..”
“There's no time so hurry up.”
“Think of practicing in advance.”
“If you hesitate, you will be very scolded.!”
Baek Soo-ryong, who was pushed on his back, stood hesitantly in front of his disciples..
“…….”
Even though they had become elderly, no emotion could still be read on their faces. It was like a carefully made doll..
“……I promise you one thing.”
The speed at which the world was collapsing was accelerating..
Since the masters appeared, the appearance of the disciples has been rapidly increasing as they age..
“Someday, I will go see you guys..”
At the same time.
Pusssss…….
The dream world completely disintegrated. The figures of the masters and disciples turned into dust and disappeared..
“and…….”
Just before the world returned to nothingness, Baek Soo-ryong managed to convey the last words he wanted to convey to his disciples..
“I want to give you guys a name..”
Just before losing consciousness, Baek Soo-ryong seemed to hear his masters’ voices saying, “Well done.”.
And when I came to consciousness again.
Baek Soo-ryong woke up in his room..
* * *
“……I had a strange dream.”
-what dream?
“A dream about an old teacher. Everything was a blur, but strangely enough, I still remember the last words. He said he would come see us again.…….”
-It's a strange dream..
Ilsado smoothed out the scars that were visible under his black lips with his fingers. Old wounds throbbed especially today..
“Well, it's just a dream.”
Ilsado stood up from where he was sitting..
It seemed to have been sorted out while I closed my eyes for a moment. All the screaming and shouting from outside had stopped. He caught a glimpse of Gaju Moyong's body lying on the floor and came out of Gajujeon..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
What Ilsado saw as he walked out of the building was a hill piled up with corpses and blood flowing down it..
The path of hell spread out before him. Ilsado walked slowly down that road and came out of Moyong House..
And he spoke softly to the believers waiting for orders..
“Burn everything that's left.”
