The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 212
EP.213 Chapter 20 - Collision, Torrent (19)
* * *
Since the righteousness engraved on the sword lies in fidelity, Mok Seon-oh did not stop..
I struggle to steady my faltering steps with the determination to stop the devil's laughter..
In the storm of deliberation that fills the space, we cry out that consultation is the only right cause..
And so, I cut open the chest of the Heavenly Demon..
Suddenly―
It was a shallow attack, but it was definitely an effective hit..
In the first place, what Mok Seon-oh was aiming for was his spirit, not his flesh..
“Khot…!”
The Heavenly Demon unleashes a single fist as if to counterattack..
Mok Seon Oh blocked it..
However, it was impossible to stop the gangsterism that seeped into it..
It felt like my lungs were being crushed..
I start to taste blood in my mouth..
Tsk, I'm spitting out blood..
Sharpen the blade and continue the attack.
Kwaaaaang―!
Heavenly Demons collide.
And so the battle continues again.
It felt like it would never end.
However, we are steadily approaching the end..
Innate energy is being depleted.
Mok Seon-oh's eyes were suddenly looking back at his own life, not at Heavenly Demon..
*
Moorim is heartless.
Just by walking somewhere in that forest, you never know when you might get stabbed..
Mok Seon-oh's martial arts team was like that too..
8Se, it was the day Mok Seon-oh lost all his relatives and became an orphan..
He was from a samurai family in the Hanmihan region, and the person who took his life was an assassin hired by another samurai family in the same region..
“blame me.”
The assassin said that with cold eyes..
The younger Mok Seon-oh answered that he would be willing..
A desire for revenge against the assassin and warrior who took everything away..
That was the only rope that kept Mok Seon-oh from hanging himself that day..
And, less than a month later, Mok Seon-oh met..
“He really has bright eyes..”
He was a man with a distinctive appearance and a bandit-like appearance..
Introduce yourself Woorim.
“I am the lord of the starry night.”
He said so and continued to recommend..
“Do you know the rules?.”
That was my first meeting with him..
*
Mok Seon-oh followed him and left..
There was no doubt that he was strong even at first glance, so he entrusted himself to gain the strength to take revenge..
That's how I learned discipline and negotiation..
“Are you saying revenge is your goal??”
When Woorim asked, Mok Seon Oh answered..
“I intend to punish the person who stole my world. Do I want the wrong thing??”
I remember Mok Seon-oh saying that day after reading aloud..
That may be why Woorim’s answer was more memorable..
“I don't want to do anything wrong. The resentment of those who have been taken away is truly a legitimate emotion..”
“then….”
“but.”
“…?”
“Is there any need to do that? you.”
I was tired of Woorim’s smile..
Also, I felt sad..
“Seonoh, don’t you have talent? Isn’t he a man who can become a strong man? Aren’t you a man who can use your strength elsewhere?.”
“Are you talking about that damn agreement?.”
“It is true.”
What on earth is an agreement, so why are you talking like that?.
Are you telling me to stop taking my truly deserved revenge?.
Of course, Mok Seon-oh also knew that cooperation was a necessary concept for a warrior..
But Mok Seon-oh hated the assassin and the shaman too much to show such generosity..
I remember him making a grim expression..
Then Urim said.
“Seonohya.”
“…yes.”
“What is a charlatan?.”
“He is a person who practices fraud..”
“no.”
His voice was so strong.
“Those who take the most difficult path. A person who has to be stronger than anyone else because he has to do that..”
The demeanor was also firm..
“That is a charlatan.”
It was that one word that melted away the resentment that had been clinging to Mok Seon-oh's heart..
*
What is a cooperative and what is an unmanned person?.
It was a concern that stayed with Mok Seon-oh throughout his growing years..
A funny thing happened.
The deeper the worry, the more the resentment in your heart begins to dilute..
Maybe it's faded with time.
Whatever it was, one clear resolution came to mind for Mok Seon-oh, who became Lee Rip..
“I'll meet him in person and decide then..”
Has the resentment been diluted, or has it faded?.
I thought that I would only find out if I met the assassin again, so I said that to Woorim..
Woorim answered.
“I respect your choice.”
And I trained for another 20 years..
Woorim told us to stay away from arrogance and always belittled Mok Seon-oh's quick achievements..
Mok Seon-oh also knew his intentions well, so he did not continue his stubbornness for long..
Just keep moving forward with a humble heart..
When Mok Seon-oh descended the mountain, it was the day when Urim's life came to an end..
“Seonohya.”
“Yes, Master.”
“What is Seongnyeon?.”
“This is the martial arts of a charlatan..”
“What is a charlatan?.”
“He is the one who walks the most difficult path..”
“You are the one asking now.”
It wasn't until that day that Woorim smiled, shaking everything away..
Mok Seon-oh bowed nine times before smiling..
“A disciple of Buddha Became the tenth master of Seongryun..”
“Continue this will.”
“Who should I pass it on to??”
“To the child you think is best suited to become a charlatan.”
“What kind of child is that child??”
“To the child who has to go a more difficult path than anyone else.”
“How would you know that?.”
The answer was Woorim’s will..
“Seongryeon is the martial arts that connects the stars..”
It was Mok Seon-oh's last words that brightened his future path..
“You will definitely find the answer without difficulty.”
The 9th ruler of Seongnyeon said so and died..
*
40In Kangho's first appearance.
Mok Seon-oh built a burial mound for his teacher at the sacred site of Seongnyeonmun Gate and went to Gangho..
The first thing I did was find the shaman and assassin who had tormented Mok Seon-oh throughout his childhood..
But there was emptiness.
“You mean Baekga? It's been 10 years since it went bankrupt. After acting so viciously, he was swallowed up by even more vicious black people..”
The samurai family that hired an assassin was ruined..
It could be said to be a punishment of encouragement..
Or you could say it is.
Mok Seon-oh found the assassin by comforting his lost steps..
About a year later, we met at the end of the journey..
“You are the eldest son of a pastoral family..”
Salgok (殺谷)).
He was in a place called that..
In the name of the ruler of Salgok and the greatest assassin in Gangho, he was on the move..
“remember me?”
“I even remember telling you to blame me..”
“Well then, you won't be dissatisfied that I came here to get paid..”
“I'd be happy to do that if I could.”
In a conversation with him, Mok Seon-oh finally found the answer to the feelings that had been with him for a long time..
“…I guess so.”
There was no longer any resentment inside Mok Seon Oh..
Although the old grudge left a trace as a stain, it was no longer the driving force behind Mok Seon-oh's body..
In his heart, something grander and more brilliant than resentment already existed..
“i forgive you.”
I will become the master of the Holy Lotus and become a star that brightens Kanghoe..
Let us embrace forgiveness, not revenge, and shed some light on the rivers and lakes..
Mok Seon-oh already knew the answer..
“I don't blame you. I want to do something bigger than blaming someone..”
“what is it?”
“It's cooperation.”
Salsu smiled brightly..
“okay.”
.
And I pulled out the raincoat.
“In that case, you should compete with me for reasons other than resentment..”
“What is the reason??”
“The serenity of Gangho.”
The spray gave off air waves..
“Defeat me, the King of Murder. Achieve justice by punishing the evil people who are blinded by money and take the lives of the people. By doing so, you will contribute to the peace of Gangho..”
Mok Seon Oh could tell..
It was the penance that a person who had taken other people's lives his whole life could only hope for at the end of his life..
It was the confession of a sinner trying to pay for his sins only belatedly..
That's why I drew my sword.
“I will do that.”
That day, with just 10 moves, Mok Seon-oh cut off King Sal's head..
He put aside the resentment of the past and stood up as a true charlatan..
and met.
“father?”
The killing star goat that was still young.
*
The rivers are wide and the cilantro are as numerous as grains of sand..
As the saying goes, Mok Seon-oh met many masters and experienced many lives..
Goatso, who has been attempting assassination to avenge his father, Namgoonghyeok, who takes on every challenge with the sole desire to become the best, Sabaekwoon, who hides himself as a coward to protect himself, Mileseok, who lives in romance and dies in romance, and many others. We were walking together on the path of Mok Seon Oh..
So, Mok Seon-oh spread one unwavering intention within him..
Even when the world judges it, and even when it judges itself,.
Mok Seon-oh became a person worthy of the word thief..
“There is a blood history.”
I will clear away the last dark cloud hanging over the river and see the end of this long, long journey of cooperation..
So I made up my mind, and the moment it all ended.
“…It's a thousand years old.”
Only then was Mok Seon-oh able to reflect on his teacher’s words..
-Continue this will.
-To the child who has to go a more difficult path than anyone else.
As the lord of Seongryun, he willingly accomplished the task assigned to him..
So there were no regrets.
*
Past and present intersect.
Mok Seon Oh looked at the end..
Both the Heavenly Demon and yourself will soon reach their limit..
This long, long life will all come to an end..
“Master―!”
At that moment, I heard Mokriwon’s voice..
When I turned my head, I saw Mok Ri-won, who was in disarray, being carried on a mile stone..
When I see him, it comes to my mind again..
-Become a star. It is not the sun that shines with glory alone, but the star that illuminates the darkness and guides the weak..
It is said that he lived as a successor to Seongryun..
Just brightening up the dark night was enough, so it was a journey to become a light that would brighten the darkest river..
so,
“It's not possible―!”
Don't cry. Kindergarten.
I am OK.
nothing is over.
The will of the starry night will continue..
I have chosen you to carry on my will..
I chose you, not the fate that shook the world..
Mok Seon-oh guarantees that you will become a greater thief than anyone else in the world..
‘so….’
Go ahead and practice righteousness..
I will take away the dark clouds that you cannot take away..
