Chapter 2
Episode 2 You Pushed Me?
The merciless time passed helplessly..
The world still belonged to fire weapons. According to rumors, fire weapons have become even stronger. He walked toward the ultimate purpose of martial arts through endless training..
The absolute masters of twelve of his followers ruled the world alliance. The world called them the Twelve Kings..
Although the Absolute unified the martial arts world, life in the world did not improve. All kinds of injustice were rampant in relation to the kings of the zodiac. If you look good to them, you gain fame, and if you disobey them, you lose your life. In fact, life has become more difficult than when it was divided into two major factions..
Meanwhile, the Murim League, the Sadoma League, and the Demonic Cult were still unable to solve the seal. Everyone said that unless Hua Wuji died, the seal would never be released..
Just when I thought he might have died in some unknown valley, the man came back..
When I first met him, the man was young, but now he was an adult with gray hair below his ears. The man was displaying a prayer that was incomparably more mature than before..
He had changed. His face and body were tanned, as if he had been around the whole world, and he had several invisible scars. He had changed horribly, but his cold, clear, simple, yet deep eyes were the same as when he first came to see me..
“Now, here is the inner altar of Mannyeonhwari..”
The box he held out really contained the inner altar of Mannyeonhwari..
“It really was there!”
The ghost's voice trembled..
“How on earth did you get it??”
“I searched every possible place. I can confidently say that I am an absolute expert at Santa Claus, swimming, diving, and camping. You can probably draw a map of Central Plains with your eyes closed..”
“It's really amazing.”
“It's not that I saved it, but it's that I didn't go crazy in the process..”
The ghost suddenly had this thought. Perhaps this may not be Mannyeonhwari's internal plan, but this man's will. While I was having a strange imagination of a sky-blue will flowing out from the man's body and creating an inner circle, the man urged me again..
“Now, the next ingredient is?”
“Don't you want to brag??”
What a great adventure it must have been to obtain the ingredients obtained earlier. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to resist bragging about this success story to anyone..
“The boast is that later you will kill him and feast on his corpse. I will say it again and again, turn it into a mummy, and do it for the rest of my life. For you to kill yourself…….”
“It's strange that you joke like that..”
The ghost wanted to laugh and chat with this man and talk about martial arts and life. But the man was busy as always.
“Now, what is the fourth ingredient??”
“It's money.”
The man asked an unexpected answer.
“how much do you need?”
“Five million nyang.”
It was an unimaginably large amount of money, but the man's reaction was the same..
“I'll be back.”
Even if it is 100 million nyang, even if it is a billion nyang, the ghost knows that that man will jump up and say he will come back..
I guess he added it as a joke while looking at himself. Should I kill them all and beat them all up??
However, he is a person who silently moves towards his goal. The ghost was looking at an extreme example of how terrifying a person can be when he gets really angry..
“Just wait a moment.”
“Why are you doing that??”
“I'll pay for it. For this Dafa, my family has been saving money for generations. I'll spend that money.”
“The reason is?”
“Making Dafa a success is a long-cherished wish for me and my family..”
“Good. Thank you, I really appreciate it. It could save a lot of time.”
the man was really happy.
“So, would you like to have a drink with me today??”
“I'll just have one drink and leave..”
“What a mean friend..”
We brought some alcohol, sat side by side on a rock in the yard, and poured it into a large glass and drank it. The two drank slowly, savoring the drink..
“When we first saw each other, you and I were all excited..”
“My body is getting older, but my mind remains the same. I'm desperately trying to stay young.”
“Why do you make such efforts??”
“Because I will return to the way I was when I was younger. Whether I return at the age of fifty, sixty, or one hundred, I am the same person who came to you at the time. My time stopped that day.”
If I had heard this when I first met him, I would have thought, ‘It takes a lot of effort, but is it worth it?’ But now, I know better than anyone else how great a man’s willpower is..
“If Dafa really succeeds and you can go back to the past, would you mind asking me one favor??”
“Please tell me.”
“If you go back to the past, be sure to come visit me..”
“After going?”
The ghost let out a long sigh and said.
“stop my marriage.”
The man burst out laughing at the unexpected request..
“ha ha ha.”
The man smiled for the first time since we met..
“It's no joke. Please stop me.”
“That's more important than five million nyang.?”
“It's more important to me. Just live alone for the rest of your life. Please make sure to do so.”
“I understand.”
The ghost told me what year he was getting married and asked again..
“I promise. I will definitely stop you.”
“I promise.”
The two emptied the remaining drinks..
“what is the last ingredient?”
“You know this too..”
“What is it?”
“Secret demon soul).”
The man's eyes sank as he knew what it was..
“It's your deceased father's memorabilia..”
“I know. My father never let it go from his body for even a moment..”
“do you have it?”
The man shook his head..
“I know where it is?”
“I don't know.”
“If, by any chance, the fire weapon has it,?”
“Then all these years will have been in vain. Fortunately, even if it remains at our school, it won't be easy to obtain..”
Currently, the Demonic Cult was closed and led by a new leader..
Although it was unable to release the seal due to the force of the fire weapon, the demonic religion had been strengthening its strength over the years and strengthening its internal stability..
As the son of the previous religious leader, there was no way he would be welcomed back. Rather, when he appears, who was thought to be dead, the new leader will try to kill him..
“Still, let's hope it's in our school..”
“Don't take too long. I'm old now too.”
“Don't die until I come back. Alcohol, thank you.”
After pouring out the last of his drink, the man left..
The ghost stood there for a very long time and watched the man walk away..
The man who left like that did not return. There was no news that trouble had occurred in the Demonic Church. Still, I always listened..
As time passes, the ghost has grown older and the flowers of the underworld have bloomed on his face..
Today again, I was sitting on the floor blankly, looking at the place where the man had always been standing..
Then the ghost rubbed his eyes as if he had seen something in vain..
I saw someone staggering this way..
It was that man.
The man who left to get the last ingredient has returned..
He had changed so much. His face was so badly disfigured that he looked like a different person, and he had lost his right eye and left arm. When you take off your clothes, your body looks like it's completely covered in wounds and is soaked in blood..
The ghost was speechless at that sight..
After handing over the Bimahon, the man sat down on the spot..
“you… … How on earth did you save Bimahon??”
“…… Let's go to a place where Dafa can be practiced..”
He didn't even have the energy to answer..
The ghost supported him and went to the space where the Great Law was to be practiced..
Everything was ready there..
The long-awaited final ingredient.
The ghost took the Bimahon and placed it in the center. Then, the Bimahon, which had become a dragon-like peak, began to shine brightly, and all kinds of strange pictures and letters began to appear around it..
The ghost stood in front of him and began to recite a spell..
Blue and red light began to surround the surroundings. The sound bell rang and incense rose from the Sinnoh incense burner..
The moment the ghost's spell reached its peak, the main ingredients merged and became one, and a shimmering cluster of light appeared there. It looked like an entrance leading somewhere..
“I did it!”
The ghost’s face was overflowing with emotion. It was a moment when a family's long-held wish that had been passed down for hundreds of years was fulfilled..
The ghost approached the man leaning against the pillar. Was it because a lot of blood was shed? I had lost my mind. Instead of waking him up and supporting him, the ghost spoke softly..
“…… I'm sorry.”
He decided to go back to the past..
“I'm so sorry.”
I felt even more sorry because I knew how hard this man worked to get the ingredients. But these ingredients could never be obtained again..
“I will definitely come to you and inform you of the troubles to come. I promise.”
The ghost got up and turned towards the light..
“Returning to the past has been our family's lifelong wish. It was also my wish.”
When he was about to walk towards the halo of light.
“Ugh.”
The ghost was startled and stopped in place..
Before I knew it, the demon blood had been suppressed. I couldn't even tell when I was subdued..
A drowsy voice coming from behind.
“how could you do this?”
A man who thought he had lost his mind woke up..
“Look.”
The ghost's voice trembled..
A man who walked unsteadily stopped in front of a ghost..
“You, no one else... … How can this happen?!”
The man grabbed the ghost’s neck. The old and decrepit ghost's neck looked as if it might break at any moment..
“…… I must have lost my mind. Ugh, sorry. I'm really sorry.”
The ghost thought the man was going to kill him. Yes, others may not know, but I shouldn't have done that. Because only he knew how hard the man worked to prepare this Dafa material..
At that time, the man released his grip on the ghost's neck..
“I'm a selfish person too. Since I was the only one who knew, I would have been able to gather all the ingredients. So it's okay. If it were anyone else, I would have killed him with a single blow, but I understand you..”
The man did not reprimand the ghost. Rather, he spoke warmly with sincere eyes..
“Thank you for waiting for me all my life..”
The ghost’s eyes filled with tears as he heard the man’s sincere words. Sorry and regret were mixed. I could have had a better farewell. I really did that.
It was the exact moment when the ghost’s tears fell..
The world stopped like a lie.
“uh?”
The man looked around in surprise. All movement stopped. The butterfly that was flying was floating in the air like a picture, and the blades of grass that were shaking in the wind were lying down and not getting up..
The same was true for the ghost standing in front. The tears he shed were also floating in the air..
The man wondered if he was seeing something in vain because he had lost a lot of blood..
It was right then. An old man appeared in a place where time had stopped except for the man..
“You passed all the tests.”
The man was surprised by the old man’s words and asked.
“who are you?”
“Someone who can send you back in time.”
“!”
“How can human power defy the laws of heaven? Did you think that mere spiritual objects and notation would make it possible??”
When the old man raised his hand, the five objects he had collected throughout his life came into existence again and emerged around him. These were materials that had previously disappeared along with Dafa..
At that moment, the man knew. Old people are beyond humans.
“The real ingredients of this Dafa are not these objects, but the effort you put in to gather them..”
When the old man waved his hand, the objects disappeared like smoke..
“You passed the test. I sacrificed myself all my life and lived for only one purpose. And forgiving that ghost was the final test. It was actually the hardest exam, but you passed it with the greatest ease..”
The man's whole body trembled. All my life, I thought the sky was indifferent, so I thought there was no such thing as sky. An entity that is considered heaven exists before your eyes. Surprise soon turned into anger..
“Were you the one who had to work so hard to respond? You're so proud?”
“Don't be too angry. People can see me more easily than you. Because there are people who meet me every day. But isn't it easy to grant your wish??”
The man agreed with that much. It is not about becoming rich or marrying a beautiful woman. My wish is to go back to the past..
“take me back.”
“After going?”
“I will kill those who should be killed and save those who should not be killed..”
The first thing is to kill the fire weapon and save everyone..
And there is something equally important..
“and… … I want to live my life properly. Maybe the reason I want to go back so desperately is because I regret my life as much as my anger towards Hwamugi..”
“What do I regret so much??”
“Everything. From birth until now, my life has not been one I led, but one in which I was pushed around by something. I was pushed here and there and pushed around like that until it ended... … Is it you? The person who pushed me away?”
The old man smiled awkwardly and asked.
“What kind of life do you want to live after revenge??”
“I don't know either. Will I follow in my father's footsteps and become the Heavenly Demon, will I quietly turn my back on the world, will I become a lecher who takes over all the beauties in the world, will I leave the church and live a life of beating up trash, or will I become trash... … I haven't decided anything.”
“I wonder what kind of life you will lead. Looking forward to that new life.”
“Thank you.”
“Let's have a drink next time we meet..”
With those words, the old man disappeared..
‘next time?’
I had a premonition that someday the old man might appear before me again..
At the same time, the time that had stopped passed again. The butterfly that had stopped flapping its wings flew in the sky, the grass was shaking in the wind, and the tears of the ghost that had stopped in the air fell to the ground..
“I'm sorry. really.”
The man stared in silence at the ghost shedding tears of apology. He won't even dream. That his Dafa is a great Dafa that touches the will of heaven. The final decision may be made by heaven, but at least the Great Law of the Ghosts was definitely a medium connecting them with heaven..
The ghost asked with an anxious face..
“ah! It's a shameless request, but don't forget the promise you made to me! You have to stop my marriage.!”
The man chuckled. Even though he was so old and close to death, he was making the same request..
“It's still hell?”
“It's a hotter hell. I don't deserve it, but I still ask you a favor. If you don't listen to me until the end, I'll tear up my belongings..”
“That's about it?”
“It's more than that.”
“Good. Then the punishment for trying to betray me will be enough, so go through hell again..”
“iced coffee! Hey! please!”
The man walked toward the light, leaving behind the howling ghost..
The ghost was overcome with passion as he watched the brilliant light that began to disperse while embracing him, but in the end, this is what he wanted to say..
“I want to go too! Aaaaaaa! i want to go!”
