Chapter 472
472fury. I'm glad you're safe
“Are you sure you don't mind??”
The green-robed monk looked at the white water dragon with an expression full of concern..
The group that left Hyeongsan moved quickly before the Murim people came. I parted ways with Byeok-an-gwi before half a day had passed, and stayed with Monk Nok-ui for a few more days..
However, their journey came to an end as they arrived at the entrance of Jeonggangsan Mountain. Detective Nokui was scheduled to return to Yeomrachae with Jang Geol and Gu Gil, and Baek Soo-ryong was scheduled to go straight to Cheongryong Academic Hall..
“I couldn't sleep well during the trip... … . Please take a break for a few days..”
The monk Nokui asked Baek Soo-ryong to stop by Yeomrachae and take a rest. His injuries were the most serious among the group..
Not to mention the internal injuries and external injuries, the wounds pierced by the Changryongshin Sword left clear scars. How many times have you changed the blood-stained cheesecloth? Nevertheless, Baek Soo-ryong did not shed a single groan while coming here..
Even now, Baek Su-ryong just smiled and shook his head. He had a very pale face..
“Even if I go to Yeomrachae, I won’t be able to rest comfortably because my mind is racing. You can sleep when you get home.”
“capital punishment…….”
The green robed monk looked at the white water dragon with a sad expression..
Although he had changed his clothes and looked neat now, it was because I knew that he only looked fine on the outside..
However, since he was so stubborn, it was impossible for him as a priest to force him to Yeomrachae..
“…… Well then, please rest here for a moment. I will quickly climb up alive and send down those who will escort the executioner to the Blue Dragon Hall..”
“They said it was okay. There are these guys around, so what are you worried about??”
When Baek Soo-ryong stretched out his hand to the side and stroked his head, Eun-ho raised his head and puffed out his chest..
Kyaang!
It was as if he was boasting that he would bring Baek Su-ryong back home safely. Then, Eunho patted the soft fur under his feet with his front paw..
Crrrrrrr…….
Daeho growled, his bright yellow eyes shining. It was once Georyeongchaeju's favorite beast, but now it acts as a mount for the white water dragon instead of a horse. All the other wild beasts dispersed..
“Can you keep up with this guy's running speed in Yeomrachae??”
“……It must be difficult. All right.”
In the end, the green robe had no choice but to sigh. It was impossible for him to break Baek Soo-ryong’s stubbornness..
“Eunho. Please take good care of the death penalty..”
When the green-robed monk reached out and rubbed Eun-ho's back, Eun-ho purred as if he was in a good mood..
“Well then, let’s part ways at this point. If the greeting gets longer, the regret only increases..”
Baek Soo-ryong hopped on Dae-ho’s back, and Eun-ho took his place in front of him..
Jang Geol and Gu Gil also said their final goodbyes to Baek Su-ryong..
“older brother! I will never forget the martial arts you taught me for the rest of my life.!”
“Next time, come hang out with Suhyuk! I'll treat you right!”
Although it was a short period of time, the two people became incredibly strong under Baek Soo-ryong's guidance..
In Baek Soo-ryong's opinion, he was still lacking a lot, but if he continued to work hard, he would grow beyond Yeomrachae and become a leading expert in Nokrim..
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and nodded with a pale face..
“okay. You guys are doing well too..”
Kyaaa!
When Eun-ho tapped Dae-ho on the back, Dae-ho kicked the ground. Then a large new model was launched at once..
Jang Geol and Gu Gil looked at Baek Su-ryong's shrinking back and shook their heads..
“Brother Suryong seems to be an iron man. The injury hasn't even healed properly, but I haven't seen you frown on your face since I came home.?”
“Is it worth mentioning? You have to have that much stamina and patience to become an expert..”
“Isn’t that why you can’t feel pain??”
To the two people who were just admiring, the green-robed monk sighed and said,.
“The death penalty is also a person. How can people not feel pain? but…….”
The green-robed monk looked at the back of the white water dragon, who had already become a small dot, and muttered as if he were sorry..
“……I am worried that you have suffered a great deal of heartache that is incomparable to your physical pain..”
Over the past few days, the green-robed monk had seen the white water-dragon tossing and turning every time he took a short nap..
The reason he was sweating all over his body was not simply because of his injury. Words of atonement and apology muttered faintly in my sleep. The monk in green buried those words deep in his heart..
‘I don't know what the story behind the death penalty is.…….’
The green-robed monk looked at the same place for quite some time even after the white water dragon had completely disappeared..
“I sincerely hope that after all this fighting, the execution will be happy..”
After giving a short speech, King Nokrim returned to Yeomrachae with his brothers..
* * *
“……Let's hurry.”
All the way back to the Cheongryong Academy, Baeksuryong dozed off on Daeho's back. Still, he urged Daeho..
Kyaaa!
There were several times when I almost fell off Daeho’s back. If Eunho hadn't supported him with his small body every time, he would have fallen awkwardly and rolled on the floor..
“…….”
It was because I didn't sleep well..
Baek Soo-ryong's consciousness was at the boundary between dreams and reality, past and present..
When I closed my eyes, I could see Saho glaring at me with bloodshot eyes..
Woooooooo!
A howl like an animal coming from damaged vocal cords. Something I couldn't tell if it was a shout or a scream.
The sight of my former student, whom I met for the first time in decades, remained that strongly in my mind..
-Do you recognize me??
It was a question I asked thinking that maybe I had forgotten..
You may have completely forgotten about your old instructor..
Baek Soo-ryong remembered his past life for less than a year at most, but his former disciples lived intact for over 50 years..
I dared to hope that it would be enough to forget the terrible past..
“……I remembered.”
Saho vividly remembered.
Not long after clashing with each other's martial arts skills, he realized the identity of Baeksuryong. It was a look that didn't even seem suspicious..
No problem with training.
I remembered a young face staring at me blankly with eyes devoid of emotion..
In fact, many emotions that were not erased but had to be kept hidden..
-Do you blame me??
If you had answered honestly back then, wouldn't the future have been a little different?.
-okay. I killed the Heonwon family.
Samho’s scornful face also appeared several times..
An ominous appearance that would not be strange if called an incarnation of Sura. The former disciple, who was radiating terrible murderous energy from his whole body, did not recognize his teacher..
-I hope we meet again.
Baek Soo-ryong was confident that the promise would definitely come true. And that no one will back down then..
“…….”
Since that day, I have had many dreams..
It wasn't a dream created by the blood demon's magic..
These were dreams created by a mixture of fatigue accumulated from a big fight, guilt accumulated in the heart for a long time, and memories of the past and present..
Most of the dreams were unhappy, but often happy. It was a day I had never lived before. Il-ho and Lee-ho were also there. There were moments in my dream when I never wanted to wake up again..
Every time that happened, Baek Soo-ryong forced his eyes to open. The pain I felt from the wound on my chest helped me distinguish between dreams and reality..
“……Let's hurry.”
Every time I came back to reality, the scenery had changed. It was a story of clearly moving towards the destination..
Reverse Heavenly Technique and Green Forest Eighteen Styles restored Baeksu-ryong's body while he was sleeping. The Yeokcheonshingung, which possesses the most strange energy in the world, spontaneously recovered internal injuries, and the Noklim 18-style, the best in the world when it comes to handling the body, invigorated the body..
Of course, proper rest is needed to fully recover from the injury, but Baek Soo-ryong's physical condition improved little by little just by quietly closing his eyes and resting..
Kiing. Kiing.
When Baek Soo-ryong fell asleep as if he were dead, Eun-ho whined and licked his cheek. He seemed worried that he would never be able to open his eyes again..
When Baek Soo-ryong opened his eyes and stroked Eun-ho's restless head, Eun-ho seemed to finally feel relieved and wriggled into Baek Soo-ryong's arms..
[……Is it okay??]
The Changryong Shingeom vibrated and gave warmth to Baeksuryong. The energy of the magic that protects vitality enveloped him warmly..
Baek Soo-ryong laughed helplessly..
“Being cared for by these two, I suddenly feel like a child..”
[It was a tough fight. It's okay to pamper yourself a little more.]
“Because I’m spoiled…….”
Baek Soo-ryong closed his eyes again and muttered..
“I've never done anything like that before, so I don't know how to do it. Anyway, I'm feeling better, so let's hurry..”
[Is there any reason to rush this far??]
“……Because I don't know what else will happen.”
How many days did I travel in such a dazed state?.
It was almost dawn when we arrived in Nanchang..
Due to the great size of the Great Lake, it was not possible to enter the city..
After releasing him on a nearby mountain with the promise of a later date, Baeksu-ryong immediately opened his guard and headed to Baekryongjang..
Hwiik!
Arriving in front of Baekryongjang, he killed his presence and quietly crossed the wall. It was because I did not want to wake up my disciples who were sleeping soundly at this time..
Grumble~ Piyuuu-
I saw a room with the door slightly open. When I looked inside, I saw Heonwon River lying sprawled out. I was so tired that I was sleeping without the world knowing..
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong quietly looked at Heon Won-gang's sleeping face outside the door, then went into the room and pulled the blanket he had carelessly kicked up to his chest..
“Won Kang Ah.”
Baeksu-ryong could be recognized at a glance. Heonwon-gang trained more foolishly than he was instructed to do..
He looked at his student's face and muttered very softly. Lightly brushing the tangled hair.
“……I'm sorry.”
Heonwon River stirred for a moment at the faint whisper, but did not wake up. The voice and touch were so familiar that I didn't seem to be on guard at all..
Baek Soo-ryong carefully left the room. I closed the open door, went out into the yard without making a sound, and looked around..
Nothing had changed. Everything at Baekryongjang was the same. Geo Sang-woong, Ya Su-hyuk, and Wi Ji-cheon were also sleeping well, and Yeo-min's breathing could be heard from outside the room and seemed to be comfortable..
“……Everyone was safe. nothing happened.”
After confirming that all his disciples were safe, Baek Soo-ryong finally let out a long sigh of relief..
I was worried that something might happen here as well. It was the same reason that urged Dae-ho to keep rushing despite his tired and injured body..
Wow!
Eunho jumps out of Baeksuryong’s arms and goes up to the roof, and Changryongshingeom is on his waist! and cried. On the other side, at the waist, the red moon quietly reflected the moonlight..
[you… … He's usually incredibly smart, but other times he's incredibly foolish. Come on in and take a rest.!]
Baek Su-ryong smiled and looked up at the night sky with a much more relaxed expression..
“Anyway, I'm going to rest now. I have to go to work again starting tomorrow.…….”
However, as soon as the tension in my body was relieved,.
stumble.
White Water Dragon's body collapsed to the side..
“ah…….”
Only after returning to Baekryongjang, Baeksuryong realized that he had reached his limit both physically and mentally..
But fortunately, before his body hit the floor, someone's hand gently supported Baek Soo-ryong..
“teacher!" I also heard voices calling out. Although it was confusing because he had so many dreams, Baek Soo-ryong was able to convince himself that the approaching signs were not a dream even with his eyes closed..
“It's because I'm a little tired, so there's nothing to make a fuss about.…….”
“…….”
Those were the last words. Baek Soo-ryong was unable to lift his eyelids, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and lost consciousness..
And the next day, Baek Soo-ryong opened his eyes in the middle of the day and was faced with a terrifying gaze looking down at him..
