The first person was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the communal pavilion and brewing tea..
As Mok Riwon approached, his head was raised..
“Are you here?.”
“yes, here….”
“We established this community school in the place where the spirit of Gongongsan Mountain is strongest. This pavilion was built in the most pure place among them..”
Mokriwon was thrilled by those words..
It was definitely full of such clear energy that I couldn't help but gasp..
“Come sit down and have some tea first..”
Mo Liwon sat across from him and took the white teacup..
It was full of warm energy.
“Are you guys resting??”
“exactly. Since it was a long journey, I think I need some rest first..”
Even as he spoke, there was a question that kept getting stuck in Mok Riwon’s throat..
It was about none other than Baek Kyung-oh..
Given the circumstances, it is clear that there is a connection between Baek Gyeong-oh and the communal faction, but since Baek Gyeong-oh does not seem to say it, we are left to rely on Seon-ja..
Since I'm here because of a problem, I guess we should talk about work first..
It was a difficult moment because, while I was thinking about it, the story of Young Baek Kyung-oh did not leave my mind..
“I'm glad Kyung-oh seems to be doing well..”
Startle―
“…Do you mean Gyeong-oh??”
“Yes, I remember calling it Gwangryong. am i wrong?”
It's not wrong.
I was just surprised that the other person asked me first what I wanted to ask about..
When Mo Ri-won pursed his lips, Seon-ja smiled bitterly and said,.
“…This is a child we have a connection with. The kid didn't seem to say that. Well, I'm sorry that you pretend not to notice even though you're seeing it right in front of your eyes..”
“Can you hear what's going on??”
“It's natural that I wanted to say that..”
First of all, the person's gaze was directed to the teacup..
He spoke with a calm expression..
“Gyeong-o is a disciple of Venerable Woo, who was my brother-in-law..”
Mok Riwon’s eyes opened wide..
*
“hey! Baek Kyung Oh!”
Namgung Soa’s shout struck my ears..
Baek Kyung-oh glanced at her..
She must have finished organizing her luggage before she knew it and was crossing her arms with a much lighter body..
“What.”
“What? Don’t you pack your bags?! I have to go down again in the afternoon to investigate, but how long will I be taking my time?!”
Baek Kyung-oh snorted and took his gaze away from Namgung So-ah, who was getting angry..
Tendons sprouted on Namgung So-ah's forehead, but they did not attract Baek Kyung-oh's attention..
“I'm going for a short walk.”
“what? hey! crawl….”
“Don't look for it. It will come on its own when the time comes.”
Swish!
Just like that, Baek Kyung-oh jumped over the fence..
Although it has been a long time since I returned to the mountain, I still remember its scenery clearly..
Anyway, there was a time when I was very happy climbing this mountain path..
Thanks to you, I never got lost..
Jump over 4 fences, climb up the mountainside, take 132 steps between the crooked trees, pass the inner edge, and beyond the large twin rocks, you will come across an old hermitage..
When I got there, wild flowers filled my field of vision..
The hermitage must have been neglected for 13 years, probably because someone had been maintaining it continuously, but it looked just as it did in the past..
The expression became blurred..
Baek Kyung-oh felt as if he heard a voice in his ear..
-It's Gyeong-oh! Are you ready for today’s training?!
The mischievous voice of a generous old man continued to tickle my ears..
Even though it's a voice I'll never hear again.

Baek Kyung-oh was an orphan..
It was not that they were abandoned by their parents, but they were the ones who lost their parents due to the black sword called Pagomun that was ravaging Gansu at the time..
It is possible to explain just how severe the corruption of the Pagwalmun was by the fact that the number of civilians they killed exceeded one thousand..
Basically point organization.
The problem was that their scale was so large that it was not easy to eradicate them, as they had been a nightmare of internment for a long time..
Anyway, Baek Kyung-oh met Honorable Woo when he was 4 years old..
Baek Gyeong-oh was in the midst of losing his breath under the cold bodies of his parents in the chaos where the entire village collapsed due to the scandal..
“Oh no! Are you okay?!”
Woojonja, who was chasing Pagwalmun, saved Baek Gyeong-oh..
Venerable Woo dug up the remains of the building that had been pressing down on his parents' bodies, laid them down, and then lifted Baek Gyeong-oh..
And first of all.
Then, she ran with him in her arms and shouted..
“Wait a moment! I will show you to the doctor!”
Even breathing was difficult..
In Baek Gyeong-oh's memory, a large old man with gray hair was running around with an urgent look on his face, and he was watching the scenery pass by in a blur in his arms..
There was no feeling.
Now I think the point was made to numb the pain..
Anyway, Baek Kyung-oh approached the doctor and purified himself, and only then did he hear his name..
“He is the supreme leader of the communal faction. Ah, what is your name??”
Baek Gyeong-oh was only then able to see the old man's behavior in detail..
A huge man wearing a uniform with torn sleeves, a bushy white beard like a bandit, white hair sticking out like thorns, and a big belly sticking out like a crock pot..
On that day, Baek Gyeong-oh was frightened by Venerable Wu’s hand, which was as big as a pot lid..
Venerable Woo reassured Baek Gyeong-oh..
“Ugh! Don't be scared! I swing my fist only to destroy evil.!”
There weren't many clues to trust what he said..
Even during the harsh times, the bright eyes lowered Baek Kyung-oh's guard..
That's why I said my name.
“…Kyung-Oh, Baek Kyung-Oh.”
“Come on! That's a manly name.!”
In an instant, he became an orphan, and the process was so horrendous that Baek Kyung-oh was close to being half-incompetent at the time..
In fact, even if he was sane, he wouldn't have been able to live alone with his young body..
Jungwon is that kind of land..
so that,
“Gyeong-o, I checked my pulse and saw that your muscles were truly excellent..”
In other words, Honorable Wu was Baek Gyeong-oh’s benefactor..
“If you have nowhere to go, wouldn't you consider becoming my disciple??”
It couldn't have been that simple to accept a stranger as a disciple..
Although Amman's backbone was good, it was even more so considering his status in the communal faction..
Nevertheless, Venerable Woo chose Baek Gyeong-oh at that moment..
There was only one reason he did it.
“If fate led me to you, do I need any more reasons than that?!”
He was so reckless.
*
“It was reckless. The death penalty is.”
First person said while taking a sip of tea..
Mok Riwon listened to his story and asked:.
“Then, Gyeong-eo….”
“Yes, there were many difficulties before I became a disciple of the death penalty. The opposition from the elders was especially severe. Apparently, there were children who had been marked as disciples of the executioner in advance..”
“I heard that the major factions are generally like that..”
“Yes, I stopped him as well. To be honest, even though Gyeong-oh's backbone was excellent, he was not able to select and select the skills from the group. Of course, it’s transparent… There was a star given to that child, but no one knew about it at the time, so it must have been foolish..”
First of all, what he said was right..
Baek Kyung-oh's muscles are only that of a genius..
Nevertheless, the reason why he is considered the strongest among the latter-day exponents is his permanence..
Tendency to read the path in every move and take advantage of the gaps..
Anomalous numbers implemented with body movements closer to those of an animal than a human..
There is such a thing, Baek Kyung-oh is strong..
“Let’s just accept him as a lay disciple. Or, let’s raise them together among the three great disciples. Everyone said so, but the death penalty remained the same. They kept making a fuss until the end saying they wanted Kyeong-o to be their disciple, but they didn't let him do that, so wasn't he actually putting a condition on it??”
“What were the conditions??”
“He said he would single-handedly annihilate the Pagwalmun. The scandal that has not been resolved properly for two years.”
First of all, he laughed as if it was absurd..
There was something like longing in the smile..
“It actually succeeded. The executioner was a man who, once he set his mind to something, was bound to do it..”
Before we knew it, Seon-ja’s teacup was empty..
He continued speaking while looking at the empty teacup..
“At that point, the elders also gave up on the death penalty. Gyeong-o eventually became a direct disciple of Sang-sang. This is enough to understand the stubbornness of that man.?”
Mok Riwon smiled slightly..
This is why, while listening to Venerable Wu’s story, my teacher suddenly came to mind..
It was especially true that they brought in a child who should not have been brought in because of their stubbornness..
“You seem like a good person..”
When I said this, the first person nodded..
“you're right. He was such a good person. that was the problem.”
“hmm?”
“It was when the child was 6 years old that Gyeong-o's spirit of perseverance manifested itself..”
The story finally came out..
Mok Ri-won swallowed his nerves and concentrated more..
The first person’s smile became a little bitter..
“Did you know that?”
There was no doubt that there was sadness in his voice..
“Those born with a natural ability cannot eat herbivores..”
Mo Riwon’s brow furrowed..
