< Shaolin-6 >
I turned twenty.
He grew taller and his body became stronger. I was worried that Lee Seong-min’s body would be smaller than in his previous life due to his irregular eating and living in the mountains of Mushi, but life in Shaolin actually made Lee Seong-min’s body grow stronger than in his previous life.
Lee Seong-min started training in Shaolin when he was 18, so he spent a year and a half in Shaolin.
There are about three years left until Baek Sogo’s death is prevented. If possible, he wanted to go to Drimoor before then and meet Denir, the God of Time, but Seongmin Lee did not want to leave Shaolin yet. Daily life in Shaolin was monotonous but fulfilling. The time spent in Shaolin did not allow Lee Seong-min to advance to new heights.
Just something I forgot. It made me realize new things I wasn’t doing. I reawakened the senses I had become accustomed to in a dull state. I became accustomed to singing methods that I knew about but could not handle due to lack of experience. What I lacked in practical skills, I filled in through the study of Jihak.
“Don’t I bother you?”
One day, Seongmin Lee asked Jihak that question. After finishing his usual business dance, he was taking a breather. At the time of asking that question, Lee Seong-min was no longer treated like a child by Ji-hak. Of course, that didn’t mean he could beat Jihak.
“Why do you think I bother you?”
“I am… Weak. And Jihak is strong. “Associating with me won’t be of much help to Jihak.”
“Not necessarily.”
Lee Seong-min still remembered the answer Ji-hak gave at that time.
“As I work with Lee Seong-min, I am reexamining the martial arts I have learned. “Just as you are rediscovering what you already knew by interacting with me, so am I.”
“Is that something that even a master like Jihak needs?”
“The martial arts of Shaolin are complex and deep. I have learned 72 such martial arts, so I need to learn more and work hard. The path of nothingness is endless. “I want to go further away.”
that word.
“The world is wide. This wide world. The aliens summoned randomly from all over the world have made the world of Eria too large. This world will continue to expand in the future. As long as aliens continue to be summoned, it is bound to expand. “It is the same with martial arts.”
Jihak’s eyes were sparkling and shining. Jihak, when he said those words, was a dreaming young man before he was a Shaolin monk.
“I am grateful that the world is large. Thank you that I am not foolish enough to lament the smallness of the world. In this wide world, there are many people who are better and more outstanding than me. You only live once, right? “I wonder how far a person like me can go in this world.”
Seongmin Lee listened to those words in a daze. In Lee Seong-min’s opinion, Ji-hak was also a big enough figure. He has talent and talent that cannot be compared to Lee Sung-min. Jihak also says that the world is big and that he is small.
“Lee Seong-min, do you have a dream?”
ah.
How small ‘I’ am.
I think the inferiority complex I had for myself is ridiculous. I think frustration is also funny. I, myself, was frustrated and sat down, suffering from an inferiority complex. Even though I said I was used to getting up from setbacks, I thought it wasn’t easy.
It’s ridiculous.
I lived in an illusion. I have no talent. The start line was different. If given another chance, I would live a different life than before. Actually, the opportunity was given. So did you live a different life? Lived… You could say that. But was he faithful?
I couldn’t answer the question. Six years have passed since she was summoned from Xenavis. How much effort did I make during those six years? How absorbed were you? How desperate was it?
Did Lee Sung-min work harder than geniuses who had the ‘talent’ he so desperately wanted? Are you more engaged? Was it more desperate?
Have you been faithful?
no.
I saved money. I had no choice but to do it. He was defeated by Sword Dragon Namgung Hee-won. He was defeated by Jihak of Shaolin. The sense of defeat I felt when I lost to them. heaviness. Feeling ashamed of myself for being weak. It’s not just them. Even when he was subdued by Frescan in the dungeon, he trembled at his own helplessness.
To a subject that I have not lived faithfully to.
Jihak, who had lived in Shaolin since he was a child, was undoubtedly a genius. Jihak involves taking all kinds of elixirs and receiving education from all the monks of Shaolin. But Jihak was not arrogant. He was not intoxicated with his own strength, talents, and things he had. Ji-hak’s life, born as a genius and living in Shaolin, was more fulfilling, hard-working, passionate, and desperate than Lee Seong-min’s.
It would be the same for Namgoong Hee-won. The life lived by Namgung Hee-won, who was born in the Namgung family, must have been more dense than the life lived by her Lee Seong-min. She looked like a crazy person, and so did Richie and Preskan. His secret wish was steeped in madness, but Frescan’s life, in which he gave up his body to become a lich, broke taboos, and was chased by the Magic Tower for that wish, was more dense than Lee Seong-min’s life.
The starting point was different.
I didn’t have the talent that they had.
I couldn’t learn the rising martial arts.
I couldn’t drink the elixir.
It was just an excuse. What a lame excuse. More than anyone else, Lee Seong-min knew him better. He wouldn’t know if he hadn’t returned to the past, but for Lee Sung-min, who returned to the past, that is just an excuse.
Because you didn’t do it. He learned rising martial arts. He took the elixir. No talent? On the topic of returning to the past, or getting a chance that will never be seen again in the world. All I did was run away.
okay.
It was like that until now.
“What is your dream?”
Ambassador Bulyeong, who rarely came out of the cave, came out more often these days. Lee Seong-min, who was watching the setting dusk, looked at him blankly and then opened his mouth.
“I do not know.”
If it were just a year ago, I would have had something to say in response. I want to catch up with Wijihoyeon. I want to see the end of nothingness. But not now.
“A year ago you answered that you wanted to dream. I also answered that I wanted to fly. And I answered that I had learned to crawl. “Have you learned how to walk?”
“I learned… “Yes.”
“Giggle! Ah, you only took one step at most. Do you understand now? “How vague was your answer to ‘I want to fly’?”
Have you tried to fly? At that question that suddenly occurred to him, Lee Seong-min shook his head. He tried so hard because he couldn’t answer for himself.
“… French ambassador. Are you… Were you aware of my contradictions?”
“Was what you got twisted so great that it could be called a contradiction?”
The French Ambassador laughed loudly at Lee Seong-min’s question.
“Oh no. I don’t know everything about you. This old middle way with magical powers, it is impossible to know everything unless you tell me everything. But I saw the martial arts you mastered. “Through him, I knew what kind of demon you harbored in your heart.”
Simma. The French ambassador referred to him as Simma. Seongmin Lee listened to those words blankly. Lee Sung-min’s inferiority complex and all kinds of rotten emotions were enough to be called a mental illness.
“Oh no. Even though you knew the best singing technique, you gave up on learning it. While the common basic techniques were advanced, the outstanding singing techniques were neglected. That was the case with most martial arts you learned. That’s why I told Jihak to guide you.”
“… Why didn’t you tell me first? If only I had known first… ”
“How long are you going to rely on others?”
Ambassador France said. Lee Seong-min’s expression trembled at those words.
“You are receiving the love of a mighty god. That unknown love acts as a blessing and gives you an advantage. Most people will feel an inexplicable fondness for you. Do you know him?”
Lee Seong-min listened to Ambassador Bulyeong’s words with his mouth half-open. Ambassador Bulyeong continued speaking while glancing at Lee Seong-min’s expression.
“That favor is truly ambiguous. It won’t work for everyone, but most humans will feel good towards you. However, Jihak and I, who have mastered Buddhist martial arts, are not deceived by your divine protection.”
Lee Seong-min couldn’t help but be surprised by that. This was because Lee Seong-min vaguely thought that Ji-hak and the French Ambassador felt favor towards him.
“Through that divine protection, you would have been able to become closer to others more easily and win their hearts. It has made you arrogant. “You come to expect others to do it for you instead of doing it yourself.”
“I-I…” ”
“Why didn’t I tell you that? So what changes? “If I had told you, would you have wanted to change, even if you had not realized it yourself?”
Seongmin Lee could not answer. Ambassador Bulyeong spoke again to Lee Seong-min, who hesitated.

“You knew what your mind was by comparing yourself with knowledge. And I wanted to drive out that simma. Not all people can change just because they want to change, but it is important to have the mindset of ‘I want to change’. And you’re trying to change You were eighteen years old, but you have now turned twenty. Don’t ask again. “What is your dream?”
“… “I want to see the end of nothingness.”
“It’s just a nice lie you whisper to yourself. “What is your dream?”
“To Wijihoyeon… “I want to be recognized.”
“That too is a lie. It is just a seemingly plausible goal that has been hastily set. “What is your dream?”
“..,I want to change, change.”
“what?”
“Myself.”
When I answered that, the English ambassador smiled with a cheerful expression.
“It’s a difficult dream. Rather than wanting to see the end of nothingness, more than wanting to be recognized by Wijihoyeon, the Little Heavenly Demon. It will be more difficult to change and change yourself.”
As Ambassador Bulyeong said that, he saw the twilight that Seongmin Lee was seeing. After a while, Ambassador Bulyeong spoke.
“If you want. “I can remove some of the protection surrounding your body.”
Lee Seong-min’s shoulders trembled at those words.
“The choice is yours. Oh no. The protection itself does not cause you any harm. The unreasonable favor they receive from others is like an impulse to them. “If you leave that protection alone, you will be able to receive favor from many people.”
“… please.”
Lee Seong-min bowed his head to the French Ambassador. If I can get rid of it, I want to get rid of it. It was sincere. From Baek Sogo, he learned about the importance of relationships between people. He also learned about grace and repayment. However, this unknown divine protection that Lee Seong-min possesses forcibly breaks down the wall that exists between Lee Seong-min and others. till now… From an encounter I had. You must have seen this blessing quite a lot.
Seongmin Lee hated that. Isn’t the relationship that continues through God’s protection a lie? Thoughts about him always remained in a corner of Lee Seong-min’s mind.
“OK.”
Ambassador Bulyeong smiled and nodded his head. The next morning, Lee Seong-min sat across from the French ambassador. It didn’t take very long, but when he said, ‘It’s over,’ the Ambassador’s face looked very tired. This was his first time seeing Ambassador Bulyeong, who always smiled like a bad boy, look so tired. Lee Seong-min became worried and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“Do you have the courage to be okay? Even if my magical powers were just a little lacking, it would have died the moment I touched it. “This protection was not engraved so deeply that it was barely possible to erase it.”
As he said that, Ambassador Bulyeong coughed and coughed. Ambassador Buryeong, who had been coughing for a while, lay down on his back panting.
“It’s too late to regret. “The protection that has been erased cannot be restored.”
“… “I go to sleep with regrets and have no sense that things have changed.”
“I guess so. Because your protection was something that worked on others.”
Ambassador Bulyeong said that and kicked Lee Seong-min out, saying he was tired. As Lee Seong-min came out of the cave, he saw a spear and armor embedded near the entrance. As a year and a half passed, the spear and armor became dirty.
Lee Seong-min looked at it for a moment and then walked towards the old window that had been thrown on the floor.
It was to practice Gucheonmugeukchang until Jihak came.
