◈Episode 710.
Between death and fate (10)
Night has come.
Sunwoo’s face looked somehow tired as he sat on a rock outside his residence and looked at the moon hidden in clouds.
Even if a cold wind blows, it does not move over time. It seemed as if he, too, had become a rock, just like the rock he sat on.
How much time has passed like that?
“Long sentence of death sentence.”
Sunwoo’s head slowly turned to the side.
Guyun was there.
Gu Yun slightly lowered his head.
Sunwoo also nodded his head helplessly.
“What’s going on?”
“….”
At that moment, Guyun was speechless.
The long voice of the executioner carried by the blowing wind sounded like the voice of a dying person.
How could you talk about work in front of him? It was something that had to be dealt with quickly, but I couldn’t say it easily.
“It’s windy. “Then what are you going to do if you get caught?”
Sunwoo chuckled.
It was a smile I couldn’t tell if it was bitter or arsenic.
“So many of my disciples have died, so what is my body?”
“It’s algebra.”
“…?”
“Our disciples fought valiantly. “I dare say that not only the dead executioners but also all of the disciples thought only of Jongnam until the moment of their death.”
“….”
“Everyone knows that death penalty will never be comfortable. However, in such times, you need to be strong.”
“The priest is like…”
Sunwoo closed his eyes.
“You sound similar to that Yeonhojeong guy.”
“Is that so?”
“okay.”
“He is a good young man.”
Sunwoo was speechless.
Guyun continued speaking in a calm voice.
“If it weren’t for Yeon Dae-soo, Jong-nam might have perished from our university.”
“….”
“Daesu Yeon gives the credit to Danju of the Yongah Iron Team, but in reality, it can be said that Daesu Yeon was the main player who led this war to victory. “If the launch date had been even a day late… something really terrible would have happened.”
Sunwoo still didn’t say anything. The sight of him looking at the sky in silence was like a painting drawn with ink without color.
A look of sadness appeared on Gu Yun’s face.
“Long sentence of death sentence.”
“….”
“It’s not the death penalty’s fault….”
“No, it’s my fault.”
“execution!”
Sunwoo shook his head.
“Even if there is an earthquake in the area, if lightning falls from the sky, or if I lose a disciple due to heavy rain, it is all my responsibility.”
“….”
“That’s what a leader is. If your students get hurt due to a natural disaster or other unexpected event, you have to take responsibility for everything. “That is the head, the head of the gate, and the long gate.”
“…okay.”
A moment of silence fell between the two.
Sunwoo sighed deeply.
“I know too.”
“yes?”
“I know very well that now is not the time for me to be so sad. I also know that it is time to keep this seething anger and resentment in check. Things have already happened and the living must live. “If you are a leader, you must pretend that it is okay to be sad for the sake of the future of the clan, and you must know how to smile even when you are angry.”
“….”
“But that’s it.”
Tears flowed from Sunwoo’s eyes. The sight of him slowly lowering his head and grabbing his hair was something I couldn’t bear to see with my eyes open.
“It seems like I hear the voices of dead disciples every time I blink.”
“….”
“How cold and painful it will be. How arduous and sorrowful must it be to travel that long and cold road to the underworld? “So many young disciples who learned Jongnam’s swordsmanship died without even making up their minds.”
Gu Yun closed his eyes.
Even though everyone else criticized Sunwoo for being a weak person, he couldn’t do that.
Because I know. How much Sunwoo loves his students.
He was a person who gave affection to all his sons and daughters, which was difficult to give even to his own children. Even though he ran such a huge sect, he never deviated and lived his life only for the sect and his students.
A love of a magnitude that is difficult to describe in words. That’s why it’s hard to bear in the face of the tragedy that has come.
Have you learned Taoist martial arts? Achieved immovability?
That’s just a play on words. Sunwoo’s heart must be torn apart after experiencing the deaths of the children she treated more like her own relatives.
Sunwoo, who had been sobbing for a long time, finally stopped crying after Lee Gak passed.
Guyun said.

“Long sentence of death sentence.”
“I’m sorry. “I looked ugly in front of the priest.”
“I have a place to go with you.”
“…Where are you going?”
“I will go to the elder.”
Sunwoo’s eyes wavered.
Guyun continued.
“You heard everything about what the Grand Elder did, right?”
“….”
“It’s not something to waste time on. “No matter what decision is made, Chief Judge Jang Moon must go there in person.”
“….”
“It’s not something worth dealing with in broad daylight when all the kids are watching.”
Sunwoo looked into space without saying a word.
Guyun waited patiently.
Just like that, another moment has passed.
“Let’s go.”
Sunwoo came down from the rock.
“Let’s go to the ambassador.”
After a while.
Grumble.
The door to Donghyeol was opened.
The inside of the cave was very well maintained. The humidity was low, unlike a cave, and numerous lights were installed on the left and right sides of the entrance to distinguish objects.
This was Seo-dong (洗汚洞) in Jongnam. It means a cave to wash away wrongdoings and impurities, and it was a cave where major sinners of the sect were imprisoned.
An old man was trapped in this place where no one had been trapped for nearly ten years.
“Who are you?!”
Inside the cave, there were about twenty rooms with iron bars.
And in the first room there was Yeogwang.
Sunwoo’s eyes became wet with sadness.
“The ambassador type.”
“Jangmun-in!”
Yeogwang’s appearance was truly devastated. Her hair was scattered, her clothes were tangled here and there, and she couldn’t wash them, so she had stains on them.
There were several dishes lying around in front of the iron bars of the prison where he was imprisoned. We provided him with food, but he didn’t eat properly except for water.
“Jang Mun-in is here!”
A bright light appeared on Yeogwang’s face.
His eyes were focused only on Sunwoo. Guyun, who stood behind him, didn’t even look up.
“It’s really nice to meet you. Instead of doing this, open this cage right now! Jang Mun-in is here, so is it okay for me to meet him like this?”
It somehow feels like gibberish.
Sunwoo looked into Yeogwang’s eyes.
The old master’s eyes were very bloodshot. If someone who didn’t know him looked at him, he had eyes that could be misunderstood as a madman.
As Sunwoo let out a sigh, Yeogwang spoke again.
“Oh, did you hear anything? I don’t know what you heard, but it’s all a misunderstanding! First, open this cage first! “I explain everything to my master…!”
“The ambassador type.”
“Oh speak!”
Sunwoo said with a sad face.
“Why did you do that?”
“What do you mean? No, first of all, from this cage….”
“Why did you teach your disciples the wrong spirit of Jongnam?”
“Jang Moon-in! “Listen to me first!”
“Why did you try to kill the Three Elders?”
“Jangmun-in!”
“How on earth did you end up like that?”
“Sunwoo you guy!!”
Gu Yun was surprised.
Yeogwang’s expression and voice changed in an instant. The face that was full of urgency became distorted like a ghost, and true madness began to leak out of the bloodshot eyes.
“How dare you stop talking to the Grand Master! “You’ve become so powerful that you’ve forgotten how to behave towards adults?!”
Gu Yun looked at Yeo Gwang with a puzzled expression.
Yeogwang struggled wildly.
“I am the elder of Jongnam and the executioner of all of you! No matter what my sins are, I can’t believe I’m imprisoning a great sect leader in such a smelly place! All of you will not escape heavenly punishment!”
A vivid anger appeared on Gu Yun’s face.
He was also a person who respected and respected Yeogwang with the death penalty, but he had put everything down since he tried to kill him before. I even thought about dying quietly.
If I had shown that level of courtesy and reflected on myself here, I shouldn’t have shown myself like that now.
The personality that had been suppressed for a long time began to rise up from within my stomach.
“Grand Elder!”
“Shut up, Guyun!”
“That fisherman is making a fool of himself in front of Jangmunin! “Bow your head and apologize right now!”
“Can’t you just shut up! “Why are you yelling when even just bowing your head and apologizing isn’t enough?”
It was a statement that was so absurd that it caused anger. These were not words for a person who had drawn a sword to kill a priest.
Gu Yun’s face turned red.
“Are you sure you’re senile?!”
“How dare that b*stard who can’t learn!”
At that time, Sunwoo raised his hand.
At that moment, the mouths of the two people closed of their own accord. This was because an unusual prayer flowed from Sunwoo, who raised his hands.
Sun-woo quietly looked into Yeo-gwang’s eyes.
Yeo Gwang’s eyes wavered.
“The ambassador type.”
“….”
“I know very well that the Great Master’s mind is intact. How long are you going to act like that in front of me?”
“…!”
“Are you afraid of death? Or are you afraid of being forgotten? Otherwise…”
Sunwoo closed his eyes without realizing it.
“Are you turning away because you don’t want to admit your own sin?”
“…a long writer.”
Yeo Gwang swallowed his saliva.
“You must listen to me. It all happened for a reason. “Right now, there are only ungrateful people around you who are trying to drive a wedge between you and me.”
“….”
“Of course I am guilty too. It seems like people have become narrow-minded as they get older. But I can explain. “No matter how old I am, there is no reason…!”
“Wrong.”
“What do you mean?”
Sunwoo opened his eyes again.
For a moment, Yeogwang was startled. This was because a harsh glow emanated from Sunwoo’s eyes, which were full of sadness.
“If you really showed remorse, you should have first apologized to the three elders.”
“Jangmun-in!”
“also!”
Sunwoo’s strong voice resonated throughout the Donghyeol.
“The fact that Elder Jongnam, who should be an example to others, preached to his disciples ugly teachings that only worldly hypocrites would spit out as truth is also a grave sin!”
Yeo Gwang’s face distorted.
But his voice was urgent, unlike his expression.
“I told you! I also had something called ej*cu!ation! “I was on edge because I was chasing after those ruthless black thugs!”
“Black sword?”
For a moment, a doubt appeared on Sunwoo’s face.
“A black sword? “What do you mean by that?”
Yeo Gwang was embarrassed. This was because I thought Sunwoo had listened to the entire series of procedures.
Is that why? He missed his time speaking.
Gu Yun lowered his head and said.
“A few days before the war broke out, the Great Elder descended the mountain with the swordsmen. “It was an opinion that did not go through a council of elders.”
“so?”
“The Great Elder stopped Dae Su Yeon and his party from entering Shaanxi.”
At that moment, Sunwoo’s eyes glowed with a blue glow.
Yeo-gwang, who tried to join in on the conversation, only swallowed his saliva. Sunwoo’s prayer was too scary for him, who was not only blocked but also trapped.
Guyun spoke honestly about what had happened so far without any additions or omissions.
After a while.
“….”
Sunwoo let out a sigh.
“So something like that happened?”
“I provided a report focusing on the crimes committed by the elder during the crisis. sorry.”
Only then did Yeo-gwang intervene.
“If you are a scholar, you will know how I feel. Thanks to the efforts of our Jongnam, Shaanxi has become so clean that Sima Mao Island cannot even set foot in it. “No matter how much my father-in-law has formed an alliance, how can he bring the black sword into such a place?”
“….”
“It’s nonsense. I will go forward for Jongnam and for the whole of Shaanxi…”
Guyun cut off Yeo Gwang’s sentence with a voice like frost.
“With the help of the Black Islanders brought by Grand Master Yeon Ho-jeong, Jongnam Mountain was saved from extinction.”
“what?”
“If it weren’t for them, Grand Elder wouldn’t be alive now. “The enemy would have occupied the headquarters and dried up the seeds of the disciples.”
Yeo Gwang’s complexion turned pale.
“So you’re saying you let the Black Island b*stards into the headquarters?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“You crazy people!!”
Yeogwang shouted, showing his anger as if he were truly angry.
“You guys have truly tarnished Jongnam’s name! “You should be ashamed of yourself for bringing such trash into the sacred Jongnam Mountain!”
Quang!
At that moment, Yeogwang was scared and retreated beyond the wall.
Sunwoo’s fist hit the iron bars. The iron bars that were hit by the fist were dented.
Sunwoo spoke in a calm voice.
“Three elders.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
“Tomorrow morning, I will abolish Grand Elder Yeo Guang’s dantian and cut off his limbs.”
Yeogwang’s face turned white.
“Now Jangmun-in!”
Sun-woo looked at Yeo-gwang.
Yeogwang sat down on the spot without realizing it. Sunwoo’s eyes were full of a cruelty he had never seen before.
Sun-woo, who had been glaring at Yeo-gwang for a long time without saying a word, walked toward the entrance. Gu Yun bowed his head and followed behind.
The prison is getting further and further away.
Yeogwang’s sobbing voice came to the ears of the two people.
Grumble.
Sunwoo came out of Seo-dong and looked up at the sky again.
“Are you okay with the long sentence?”
“Priests.”
“…Yes, death penalty.”
“Tomorrow morning, please send a separate message to Daesoo Yeon. Let’s have a meal together in the evening.”
Gu Yun lowered his head.
“All right.”
