EP.216 Chapter 21 - Farewell, Hyeopseongryun (2)
* * *
Is it a dream?.
When I open my eyes, I find myself in an unfamiliar space with Mokriwon..
‘For sure….’
I was competing with the Heavenly Demon for the last move, but I was in a situation where I was going to die on the spot. How could it be like this?.
Mok Seon-oh felt momentarily confused by the unrealistic situation..
What woke him up was none other than pain..
“Cough…!”
The lungs tighten with coughing. His cut shoulder hurt, his head felt dizzy and his vision was blurry..
No, those pains were nothing.
‘aerodynamics….’
all gone.
Not only did it not disappear, but the bowl was broken and scattered, and the energy that had no place to go was running wild inside my body, making me feel sad..
“Wow, Master! Please wait a moment! I am a person…!”
Mo Ri-won stood up hurriedly..
Mok Seon Oh stopped him..
“became.”
Mok Seon-oh said, wiping away the cold sweat..
“It's done. It has been done. Kindergarten.”
After talking all winter, Mokriwon seemed to have calmed down a little..
It was so sad to see his crying face that Mok Seon-oh couldn't stop laughing..
“Are you crying so much over nothing?.”
He must have been that worried..
I guess he was relieved that he had finally opened his eyes..
When Mok Seon-oh saw that, he suddenly felt something like guilt..
‘It's today.’
He knew better than anyone else in the world that this life would not last long..
Can I just buy one or two more exams?.
I don't know.
Since all of the innate energy had been used up, what was still alive in this body was the remnants of life that had not yet escaped..
Mok Seon-oh asked what he must know before he dies..
“What happened to the war??”
“That, that….”
Mokriwon whimpered and said.
What continued in rambling words was what happened after Mok Seon-oh collapsed..
‘Fortunately, there were no more deaths..’
Although it was unfortunate that the war did not end in complete victory, Mok Seon-oh felt relieved that the damage was stopped immediately..
Meanwhile, Mok Riwon continued to speak..
His crying became more intense..
Grumbling, Mok Riwon shed tears..
What caught Mok Seon-oh's attention at that moment was Mok Ri-won's bright red eyes..
‘That's not all.’
Although it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis because all of the gong power has disappeared, Mok Riwon's prayers clearly went beyond the wall of transcendence..
He was in an unstable form because he could not control the energy himself..
‘It probably wasn't the normal way..’
If you look at those red eyes, you must have been forced into a state by a celestial being..
Mok Riwon probably broke the taboo of sexual intercourse..
It was a fact that made me feel sick to my stomach..
He never said why he made that choice..
War was like a storm that no one knew what would happen..
“also….”
There was resentment in Mok Riwon’s voice..
The breath exhaled harshly contained a murderous intent that could not be hidden..
Mok Seon Oh looked at that figure for a long time..
As I looked at him in silence, engraving Mo Liwon's face on my retina, I suddenly asked:.
“Kindergarten.”
Shocked, Mok Riwon raised his head..
Mok Seon-oh asked again the disciple who was looking at him with deep sadness..
“What was so hateful?.”
What made you so angry, sad and hurt?.
When I asked the question, Mok Riwon’s lips trembled..
Mok Ri-won, who was unable to speak quickly, lowered his head and trembled..
“I am….”
My heart pounded..
“…I hate myself so much. I can't forgive myself.”
Mok Ri-won finally spit out those words..
*
I hated it.
I hated so many things.
The one who looked the most obnoxious and ugly out of all of them was Mok Riwon himself..
“Master, I am a very ugly person..”
Mo Ri-won cried and lowered his head to the ground..
“I am a truly ugly person.”
“…How can you say that?.”
“This is because I am strict with others and lenient with myself..”
Mok Ri-won let out a long breath and said in a trembling voice..
“I wanted to become a charlatan. I wanted to cry out to the world that consensus is right. Thus teaching forgiveness and tolerance to others..”
In that way, other people's affairs are easily discussed..
“On such a subject, I have not been able to embrace forgiveness and tolerance..”
Mok Riwon’s eyes were tightly closed..
Truly shameful words came out of my mouth..
“The deaths of so many were bearable. I could just dismiss it as something I could do to save at least one more person by doing all I could. Even though I could have done it, I couldn't do it in the face of Master's danger..”
Mo Ri-won raised his head and looked directly at Mo Seon-o..
“The moment I thought I might lose my teacher, my mind went blank. I felt like my world was falling apart. I just said I didn't like it and threw a tantrum like a child..”
So I broke the taboo.
He was cold-hearted towards other people's affairs and couldn't be the same towards himself. Is there a worse person in the world than this??
“I am….”
He is not qualified to call himself a charlatan..
In the end, those words just couldn't come out..
This is because the moment you try to spit out words, the language is torn to pieces and becomes fragments..
That's because the fragments scratched my throat..
“Ugh….”
My throat was so hot that all I could do was moan..
No, maybe he didn't want to admit that he wasn't qualified to be a charlatan..
Mo Ri-won could not forgive himself for being so selfish in the end..
It was like that.
“Kindergarten.”
Mok Seon-oh repeatedly asked.
It was truly a gentle tone..
“What was so hateful??”
I've been asking the same question.
Mokriwon also said this time.
“I hate myself so much.”
“Are you the only one who hates me??”
Mok Seon-oh started laughing softly..
“Do you really hate only yourself??”
It was such a warm smile that it once again turned Mok Riwon's shameful feelings upside down..
Mo Liwon clenched his fists and lowered his head..
I thought about it carefully and came up with an answer.,
“…I hate demons.”
Mok Riwon hated Ma In for harming Mok Seon Oh like this..
I hated them for taking my parents away from me..
I hated them for taking away so many lives, and I hated this destiny, this fate that bound me to them..
No, beyond that, I felt like I hated everything in the world..
“I hate you so much that I can't forgive you. everything is so….”
Mokriwon raised his salsim..
The moment he remembered Wi Guang-cheon's face, a murderous intent stronger than ever began to dominate his body..
I felt like I had gone too far.
Mo Liwon could not muster up the courage to take this life..
No, even if I had courage, I didn't have the ability to control such a huge heart..
Mo Ri-won felt like he could never go back to the way he was before..
Even my desire to go back was soon fading away..
It was that moment.
“Kindergarten.”
Mok Seon-oh stretched out his hand and stroked Mo Ri-won's cheek..
“yes, they are ugly.”
And I laughed.
“They made you so sad.”
Mo Liwon nodded without even thinking about wiping away the flowing tears..
The flowing tears wet Mok Seon-oh's hands..
“it could be.”
Mok Seon-oh's hands began to lose strength..
Mo Liwon was so scared of that that he held onto Mok Seon Oh’s hand..
I hugged you tightly.
“Master!”
“…it could be.”
Mok Seon-oh looked like he was trying hard not to smile..
“But kindergarten.”
“yes.”
“Even though I still feel hateful,.”
“…yes.”
“What you put on your sword must be different..”
Shockingly, Mok Riwon’s shoulders trembled..
My eyes were wide open..
Because Mok Riwon knows very well why he says this..
“Your sword is a sword that needs to hold something else..”
this was a will.
“stand up firmly.”
Mok Seon Oh said.
“No matter how soon or how much I say, it is not enough. I will say it again.….”
Above the indelible words engraved with a fine print, the same words are engraved once again in the same form..
“A thief is a term that refers to someone who takes the most difficult path..”
Mokriwon’s lips were pursed..
“So, won. Keep hatred in your arms. Keep the emotions that bring you to your knees in a box and throw them into the flames. Rise again with the burning hatred as fuel. Go forward and go forward, put something other than hate on your sword..”
The inside was so hot that it couldn't get any hotter and started burning Mok Riwon's throat..
“However, only the agreement will be put to the sword..”
What followed was a playful remark..
“Isn't that a sacred lotus?.”
Those words stirred something inside Mok Riwon..
“Can you do that??”
Mok Riwon lowered his head and cried like a child..
I cried because I was so embarrassed to see myself showing only my ugly side..
Nevertheless, I cried because I was so thankful that Mok Seon-oh comforted me..
Only after crying so much did I nod my head..
“yes….”
I said I would definitely do that..
“Yes, wonah.”
Only then did Mok Seon-oh smile and say with great difficulty:.
“The moon is not waning. I'm still not feeling well enough to sleep. So stop by. The things you saw, the people you met, and the things you went through after leaving the mountainous area where we lived together..”
Until the end, Mok Ri-won asked him in a soothing voice, with the same warmth as he knew..
“How was your strength??”
And so the night came to an end.
From a certain palace in Cheonghae, quiet voices continued to leak out..
The man's tearful voice, the old man's laughter, and the quiet noise they combined have all passed away..
By the time the moon goes down.
“Hmm….”
Only the sobs of a boy who had been separated too early filled the empty space of things that had disappeared..
