2nd You Pushed Me?
The merciless time passed by relentlessly.
The world still belonged to Hwamoogi. Rumor has it that Hwamoogi has become even stronger. He walked towards the ultimate goal of martial arts through endless training.
The Tianxia League was ruled by twelve absolute masters among his followers. The world called them the Twelve Branch Kings.
Even though the absolute ruler unified the world of martial arts, life in the world did not get better. All sorts of injustices were rampant in relation to the Twelve Earthly Kings. If you were in their good graces, you gained fame, and if you defied them, you lost your life. In fact, life became even more difficult than when they were divided into the Jeongsama.
Meanwhile, the Murim Alliance, the Sadomaeong Alliance, and the Demonic Cult still had not been able to lift the seal. They all said that they would never lift the seal unless Hwamugi died.
Just when I thought he might have died in some unknown valley, the man returned.
When I first met him, he had been young, but now he was a middle-aged man with gray hair. The man was showing a more mature prayer than before.
He had changed. His face and body were tanned as if he had been around the world, and he had many scars that I had never seen before. He had changed terribly, but his cold yet clear, plain yet deep eyes were the same as when he first came to see me.
“Now, here is the inner chamber of Mannyeonhwari.”
The box he handed me really did contain the inner workings of the Mannyeonhwari.
“It really happened!”
The ghost’s voice trembled.
“How on earth did you get it?”
“I’ve searched every possible place. I can proudly say that I’m an absolute expert at mountaineering, swimming, diving, and camping. I could draw a map of the Central Plains with my eyes closed.”
“That’s really amazing.”
“It’s not that I saved you, but it’s that I didn’t go crazy in the process.”
The spirit suddenly had such a thought. Perhaps this was not the inner energies of the Mannyeonhwari, but this man’s will. As he was having this strange imagination of the sky-blue will flowing out of the man’s body and creating the inner energies, the man urged him again.
“Okay, what’s the next ingredient?”
“Don’t you want to brag?”
How great an adventure must it have been to obtain the materials I had previously acquired? If it had been me, I would have been unable to resist bragging about this success story to everyone.
“I’ll brag about it later when I kill that bastard and talk about it to my heart’s content on his body. I’ll say it over and over again, and I’ll turn you into a mummy and do it for the rest of your life. You’re the one who’s going to kill me… … .”
“It’s strange that you make such jokes.”
The spirit wanted to laugh and chat with this man about martial arts and life, but the man was busy as always.
“Okay, what’s the fourth ingredient?”
“It’s money.”
The man asked in response to the unexpected answer.
“How much do you need?”
“Five million nyang.”
It was a huge amount of money beyond imagination, but the man’s reaction was the same.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Even if it was one hundred million nyang, or even ten billion nyang, the spirit knows that this man would get up and say he will go.
He might add a word or two as a joke, looking at himself. Should I just kill him and beat him up?
But he is a person who quietly moves forward toward his goal. The spirit was seeing an extreme example of how scary a person’s will is when he gets really angry.
“Just wait a moment.”
“Why are you like that?”
“I will pay for it. Our family has been saving money for generations for this Dafa. I will use that money.”
“The reason is?”
“Because making Dafa a success is a long-cherished wish of me and my family.”
“Good. Thank you, thank you very much. This will save me 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 then I’ll leave.”
“What a annoying friend you are.”
They brought the liquor and sat side by side on the rocks in the yard, poured it into large glasses, and drank. The two of them drank slowly, savoring the liquor.
“When I first saw you, you and I were both so energetic.”
“My body is getting older, but my mind is still the same. I am desperately trying to stay young.”
“Why do you put in such effort?”
“Because I will return to my youth. Whether I return at fifty, sixty, or a hundred, I will still be the person who came to you. My time stopped that day.”
If I had heard this when I first met him, I would have thought, ‘I appreciate the effort, but is it really possible?’ But now I know better than anyone how amazing a man’s willpower is.
“If Dafa really succeeds and you can return to the past, can I ask you one favor?”
“Speak.”
“If you ever go back in time, be sure to come find me.”
“Where to go?”
The spirit said with a long sigh.
“Please stop my marriage.”
The man burst into laughter at the unexpected request.
“ha ha ha.”
For the first time since I met him, the man smiled.
“This is not a joke. Please stop me.”
“Is that something more important than five million nyang?”
“It’s more important to me. Just live alone for the rest of your life. Please make it so.”
“Okay.”
The old man told her in which year he was getting married and then gave her another request.
“Promise me. I will definitely stop you.”
“I promise.”
The two people finished off their remaining drinks.
“What is the last ingredient?”

“You know that too.”
“What is it?”
“Secret Demon Spirit.”
The man’s eyes sank as he realized what it was.
“It’s the sacred water of your deceased father.”
“I know. My father never let it go from his body for a single moment.”
“Do you have it?”
The man shook his head.
“Do you know where it is?”
“I don’t know.”
“What if the firearm has it?”
“Then it would be a waste of time and effort. Even if it were still at our school, it wouldn’t be easy to obtain.”
Currently, the Demonic Cult is sealed off and led by a new leader.
Although the Demonic Cult was unable to lift the seal due to the momentum of the Fire Weapon, it had been building up its strength and solidifying its internal structure over the years.
There was no way that he, the son of the previous leader, would be welcomed back. Rather, the new leader, who was thought to be dead, would try to kill him when he returned.
“Still, let’s hope it stays in the main school.”
“Don’t take too long. I’m old now.”
“Don’t die before I get back. Thanks for the alcohol.”
After pouring 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 never came back. There was no news of any trouble in the Demonic Cult. Still, I always listened.
As time passed, the spirit grew older and the flowers of the afterlife bloomed on his face.
Today too, I sat on the floor blankly and stared at the place where the man always stood.
Then the spirit man rubbed his eyes as if he was hallucinating.
I saw someone staggering towards me.
It was that guy.
The man who went out to get the last ingredient has returned.
He was so different. His face was so badly damaged that he looked like a different person, and he had lost his right eye and his left arm. His body, which looked like it would be covered in wounds if you took off his clothes, was soaked in blood.
The spirit was speechless at the sight.
After handing over the Bimahon, the man sat down on the spot.
“You… … how on earth did you manage to save Bimahon?”
“… … Let’s go to a place where we can spread the Great Law.”
He didn’t even have the energy to answer.
The spirit master supported him and led him to the space where he could spread the Great Law.
Everything was ready there.
The long-awaited final ingredient.
The spirit took the Bimahon and placed it in the center. Then, the Bimahon, which had become the dot on the dragon’s eye, began to shine brightly and all sorts of strange pictures and letters began to appear around it.
The spirit stood in front of him and began to recite a spell.
Blue and red lights began to surround the surroundings. The thunder bell rang and incense rose from the incense burner.
At the moment when the spirit’s spell reached its peak, the main ingredients combined and became one, and a swaying halo of light appeared there. It looked like an entrance leading to somewhere.
“I did it!”
The nobleman’s face was filled with emotion. It was the moment when the family’s long-cherished wish that had been passed down for hundreds of years was fulfilled.
The spirit approached the man leaning against the pillar. Was it because he had lost a lot of blood? He was unconscious. Instead of waking him up and supporting him, the spirit 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 it had been for this man to obtain the ingredients. However, these ingredients were ones that I would never be able to obtain again.
“I will definitely come to you and tell you what trouble is coming. I promise.”
The spirit got up and turned towards the halo.
“Going back to the past has been a lifelong wish of our family. It was also my wish.”
Just as he was walking towards the halo of light.
“Ugh.”
The spirit flinched and stopped in place.
Before I knew it, the demon hole had been subdued. I couldn’t even tell when it had been subdued.
A languid voice comes from behind.
“How could you do this?”
The man who was thought to have lost consciousness got up from his seat.
“Look here.”
The ghost’s voice trembled.
A man walking unsteadily stopped in front of the spirit.
“You of all people… … how could you do this!”
The man grabbed the ghost’s neck. The old and frail ghost’s neck looked like it would break at any moment.
“… … I guess I lost my mind. Oh my, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
The spirit thought that the man would kill him. Yes, he shouldn’t have done that to himself, even if others didn’t know. He was the only one who knew how hard the man had worked to prepare these Dafa materials.
At that moment, the man released his grip on the spirit’s neck.
“I’m a selfish person too. I was able to gather all the materials because I was the only one who knew. So it’s okay. If it were another guy, I would have killed him in one fell swoop, but I understand you.”
The man did not reprimand the spirit. Instead, he spoke to him warmly and with sincere eyes.
“Thank you for waiting for me your whole life.”
The man’s sincere words made the lady’s eyes well up with tears. She felt sorry and regretful. We could have had a better farewell. We really did.
It was at that very moment that the spirit’s tears fell.
The world stopped as if in a lie.
“uh?”
The man looked around in surprise. All movement had stopped. The butterflies that had been flying were floating in the air like a painting, and the blades of grass that had been swaying in the wind were lying still and not rising.
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 things because he had lost too much blood.
It was at that very moment that an old man appeared in the 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 to the past.”
“!”
“How could human power go against the laws of heaven? Did you think that mere spirits and treasures would make it possible?”
As the old man raised his hand, five objects that the man had collected throughout his life began to re-emerge and float around him. These were the materials that had previously disappeared along with the Great Law.
At that moment, the man knew that the old man was a being beyond human.
“The real material of this great law is not these objects, but the effort you put in to collect them.”
As the old man waved his hand, the objects disappeared like smoke.
“You passed the test. You sacrificed yourself all your life and lived for one purpose. And forgiving that ghost was the final test. In fact, it was the hardest test, but you passed it with the greatest ease.”
The man trembled all over. All his life he had thought that the sky was indifferent, so he had thought that there was no such thing as sky. But now, there was something that he thought was sky right before his eyes. Soon, his surprise turned to anger.
“Are you the kind of being that only responds when you put in this much effort? Are you that great of a being?”
“Don’t be so angry. People can see me more easily than you. There are people who meet me every day. But your wish is not something that can be easily granted, is it?”
The man agreed with that statement. It is not about becoming rich or marrying a beautiful woman. His wish is to return to the past.
“Let me go back.”
“Where to go?”
“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. Perhaps the reason I desperately want to go back is because I regret my life as much as I do because of my anger toward the firearms.”
“What do you regret so much?”
“Everything. From the time I was born until now, my life was not one that I led, but one that was pushed by something. I was pushed here and there, and it ended like that… … Are you? The one who pushed me?”
The old man asked with an awkward smile.
“What kind of life do you want to live after you get your revenge?”
“I don’t know either. Should I follow in my father’s footsteps and become a Heavenly Horse, or quietly turn my back on the world and live a life, or become a lecher who seizes all the beauties of the world, or leave the church and live a life beating up trash, or should I become trash myself… I haven’t decided on anything.”
“I wonder what kind of life you will lead. I look 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?’
He had a premonition that the old man might appear before him again someday.
At the same time, time that had stopped began to flow again. The butterfly that had stopped flapped its wings and flew across the sky, the grass swayed in the wind, and the tears of the spirit that had been suspended in the air fell to the ground.
“I’m sorry. Really.”
The man stared silently at the spirit who was shedding tears of apology. He probably had no idea that his great law was a great law that was in line with the will of heaven. The final decision would be made by heaven, but at least the spirit’s great law was definitely a medium connecting him to heaven.
The nobleman asked with a longing face.
“Ah! It may be a shameless request, but don’t forget the promise you made to me! You must stop my marriage!”
The man chuckled. Even though he was old and near death, he was still asking the same thing.
“Is it still hell?”
“It’s a hotter hell. I’m ashamed, but I beg you anyway. If you don’t listen to me until the end, I’ll tear open my luggage.”
“Is that all?”
“It’s more than that.”
“Very well. Then, as punishment for trying to betray me, go through that hell again.”
“Ahh! Hey! Please!”
The man walked towards the halo of light, leaving the wailing spirit behind.
The spirit was overcome with emotion as he held him and watched the brilliant light begin to disperse, but in the end, all he wanted to say was this.
“I want to go too! Aaaah! I want to go!”
