EP.281 Chiljang – Insulation, connection (8)

Did I lie?.
No, I've definitely been lying to myself the whole time..
There's nothing we can do about it already happening.
What should I do if I endure it and live with it?.
“Great cooperation! The sweep of the demons is roughly coming to an end.!”
“Good job.”
Zhuge Shan looked at the hand with the fingernails in it..
the blood was red.
Deokjideokji the blade has new flesh attached to it..
It's a hand like this.
‘But.’
Still, I want to get closer.
Maybe I wanted to show those hands to others..
I was in so much pain.
A person with such scars.
Can you give me some comfort?.
Zhuge Shan laughed softly..
Hongseon's stern face suddenly came to mind..
‘Should I go back?.’
I decided to give you an answer, so I have to go..
Looking around, it's pretty quiet even though it's a mess..
Since the demons have already been dealt with, it would be natural..
There's nothing more to worry about.
Okay, let's say it at least once..
It was a moment when I turned around and thought about it..
thud―!
“Pfft!”
My heart pounded unpleasantly..
A creeping sensation of something invisible grasping my neck ran through my body..
As I hold on to my dizzy stomach, the auditory hallucinations I hear are.
-What if you go?
It makes me stop again.
Zhuge Shan's breathing became heavy..
Anxiety takes shape.
My head is buzzing and memories of one day are overlaid on the scenery..
There, my mother, who had stopped breathing, lay quietly..
-I want to see that scene again?
Zhuge Shan clenched his teeth..
My eyes were shaking aimlessly.
Why, again, why?.
No, until when.
I could hardly calm down as cold sweat was rolling down my face..
The fear that has become inertia causes me to hesitate and take a step back..
Hongseon's face soon overlaps the face of his mother, who has stopped breathing..
The image of my younger self crying changes into that of Hongyun..
‘Can not be done.’
it doesn't work.
It's a life that was saved somehow, but it shouldn't be like that..
This has to run away..
It was the moment to turn around.
“Zhuge brother.”
Mokriwon blocked the way forward..
The collar was cut..
Did you come from battle??
How strong would a man be if he could cut off his collar?.
It must have been six horses..
No, maybe it was an elder..
No matter what happens, it means you won..
That's a good thing.
“…Looks like you had a lot of trouble.”
Zhuge Shan grinned..
It was really easy to fake a smile.
Because I lived like that my whole life.
“I will come and help with the finishing touches. Please go to the village first..”
Saying that, I tried to pass by Mokriwon up Jegal Mountain..
I have to run away like this.
I am grateful to Mok Ri-won, who helped me escape this far, but I don't think I can continue my relationship with him anymore..
It was the moment to take another step.
“I can't go.”
Mu Riwon blocked Zhuge Mountain's path again..
“what?”
“I can't go. No, I won't go..”
Mokriwon was smiling.
What kind of situation is this when you say such ridiculous things?.
“What does that mean? I want to finish….”
“What are you planning to finish??”
Did I hit the nail on the head?.
How on earth did they know?.
How to get out….
sreung―
Mo Ri-won pulled out the sword that was strapped to his back..
“If you want to go, you'll have to defeat me..”
His expression hardened..
I meant this.
*
“Mokau, what are you talking about?.”
Zhuge Shan's expression was quite sharp..
The momentum was also like that..
However, it would be absurd to think of it as hostility..
It was a feeling closer to anxiety..
It was like a child trying to hide his mistakes..
No one else but Zhuge Shan was doing that..
“I can't let my brother Zhuge go from here. That's what I was saying.”
It's starting to show now.
The true nature of the star surrounding the man named Zhuge Shan was revealed..
A lone star was strangling his neck..
Seongwoon was finally telling me what he should cut..
Zhuge Shan made an angry look in his eyes..
“Are you serious??”
I ask intimidatingly.
It was like the act of a wounded animal puffing out its fur..
“I'm serious.”
As I answered, Zhuge Shan’s nails clattered..
If you know you can't win.
“…Don't do anything you'll regret.”
Tung, he lunges..
Seongwoon draws a sword path.
*
I knew I couldn't win.
Zhuge Mountain knew very well what kind of warrior Mokriwon was..
A genius that no one can match in today's powerhouse.).
A genius who weighs down his shoulders with a feeling of despair that he can't win no matter what he does.).
Even though I knew that, I stretched out my hand..
He made a step and shot out a energy wave from the back of his neck..
thud!
I proved myself useless..
I wave my hands as if I'm struggling.
Mo Liwon blocked it indiscriminately and continued to counterattack without the slightest danger..
That is why the workshop was created.
Zhuge Shan wanted to scream.
How can you stop me? Don't you already know why I'm doing this? There will definitely be someone who suffers..
I tried to convey that feeling with my whole body, but perhaps it wasn't conveyed, or maybe I just blocked my ears, Mok Ri-won remained steadfast..
I struggled.
Since the energy wave didn't work, he sent out a mental image, and Mok Ri-won responded with a mental image..
It was a workshop that shamefully resembled a map sparring match..
however,
‘This….’
Something was vaguely conveyed.
thud!
Every time the sword that was always tied to Mo Ri-won's back drew a sharp stroke, my heart ached..
Insulation screamed..
What kind of scenery is drawn.
Even while my body was mechanically performing martial arts attacks, my mind felt like it was moving somewhere else..
The place my mind eventually reached was a reflection of myself as a child standing in a pitch-black space..
“ah….”
I wasn't alone.
There was something there together..
These were people who passed by and were killed by themselves..
*
Martial arts do not exist solely to achieve violence..
Seongryun was a martial artist who took those teachings as an example..
The level was even more so.
The impression left behind by Yeo Yeong-un was a sword that could not cut anything in reality..
It was just a sword that cut through the bars in my heart and revealed what was inside..
So, you have no choice but to see Mokriwon..
The moment Zhuge Shan released his image and fully revealed himself, what was curled up inside was just a young boy..
It was that kind of boy inside his brother-in-law who always smiled and hid himself..
Trembling from loneliness, hurting from separation, afraid of getting hurt..
I can't face those things, so I close my eyes and block my ears..
I think it's only my fault, so I try to carry a lot of heavy things with my boy's body that can't carry anything..
Mokriwon actually wanted to say that that was not the case..
The method was obvious.
Martial arts is about sharing one’s heart..
Imagery shows each other’s true colors..
That's why Mokriwon was shown..
It was absurd to show weakness by swinging a sword, so I showed him the weakness of my mind, not my body..
it was about the stars.
The nature of heavenly death flows out according to the guidance of saintlyun..
It is in contact with insulation.
thud!
At that moment, there is hesitation in Zhuge Mountain's offensive..
No, the hesitation that existed in the first place changes its form..
There are things that can be reached even without words..
It must have reached Zhuge Mountain..
The star wasn't just cruel to him..
You don't have to carry it alone, and you can live even after being born on a star like this..
Before you know it, the hesitation of the offensive disappears..
Zhuge Mountain stormed Mogliwon even more like a storm..
Mokriwon took it all in..
I was upset.
What Zhuge Mountain pours out is.
It was also resentment.
What is formed in the cold air waves of the nails.
Still, if he feels relieved, that will be enough..
If you pour it all out, I will carry the burden for you..
No mysterious techniques or sword techniques were revealed..
What suits someone who expresses their sincerity is also sincerity..
Since Seongryun is the guiding star, it only opened a rough path so that what was spewed out could flow smoothly..
And then it was over..
“Huh….”
Zhuge Shan knelt down.
He laughed helplessly and shed tears..
Then he asked.
“…why did you do that.”
“What do you mean??”
“Why are you showing me this? Why, why do I have to have it….”
Just like when carrying the emperor’s name, and also when carrying the karma of a religious leader..
This time too, Mo Liwon took away Yi Zhi Zhi's character from Zhuge Shan..
The weight just stuck to the sparkling lotus..
Mokriwon replied.
“It wasn't my brother Zhuge's..”
Likewise, I knelt down and made eye contact with him..
“It wasn't my brother Zhuge's to begin with. This shouldn't belong to anyone..”
Isn't it so sad that a person destined to die in loneliness must have a master?.
Even if the sky was in control, I had to cry out because it was unfair..
“So that's all I took..”
“why?”
Mok Riwon grinned..
Because the answer to that question already exists.
“I am not a charlatan.”
also.
“Isn’t he Zhuge’s brother?.”
So it's natural.
“I stole it so that as a charlatan, I could take a more difficult path than anyone else. I stole my brother Zhuge's star..”
Zhuge Shan's face was distorted..
It was an expression he had never seen before..
Relief, a little guilt, and sadness.
The ugly brother-in-law, who knew how to save others but could not save himself, cried out loud for the first time Mok Ri-won had ever seen him..
Mokriwon said to him.
“Now, let's go back. There are many people to meet.”
He will meet not only Hongseon, Hongchang, and Hongyun, but also the many people he saved and the many people he wanted to meet..
I will live like that in the future.
He would live in isolation from the stars, barely connected to them..
Zhuge Shan shook his head and nodded..
