Reverse water solution (2)
The Heavenly Demon was very careful. It seemed like it was a question I had hesitated to ask several times.
[What was the last herbivore that killed me?]
After hearing it, I could understand why he was so cautious. It must have been a difficult question to ask because pride was a heavenly horse.
[Apocalypse.]
I answered obediently.
[Apocalypse, apocalypse… … .]
I repeated those words several times. This made me know for sure. Even though he is in my head, he doesn’t know everything about me.
[Is it also Chuhonsura swordsmanship?]
[That’s right, the last herbivore.]
[What a shame. If I had just held on, I could have won.]
It certainly would have been so. If it was an opponent that even the great annihilation could not work against, it would have been an opponent I would never be able to defeat.
This time I asked.
[What was the last martial art you performed?]
[joy!]
The Heavenly Demon snorted.
[Why but?]
[Sympathy is a requirement.]
[It’s not sympathy.]
[…] … .]
[I could make a lot of money with you.]
After a moment, the Heavenly Demon asked. It seems that even though he could not refuse sympathy, he could not refuse curiosity.
[What does it mean!]
[You gather together strong people and get paid. If you pay just one nyang, I will show you how upset the Heavenly Demon is! I could probably earn millions of nyang. Each person will come back to see it five times, so you can earn tens of millions of nyang.]
Only then did Cheonma realize what I meant and shouted.
[You crazy bastard! That’s what I said!]
[ha ha ha.]
After laughing a lot, I said:
[Your martial arts skills were really scary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used Annihilation. Now, I have to confess that the apocalypse is an herbivore that can kill me if I use it incorrectly. He should have used it, you were such a strong man.]
Cheonma, who had been silent for a while, asked softly.
[Do you really think so?]

Baekpyo was meeting Galsaryang in Bulu.
A message came from him to see him urgently.
“Is there a problem?”
“I lost contact with my lord.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Baekpyo was surprised. Gal Sa-ryang told me about Dafa. Byeokridan went to Heuksi and informed Galsaryang about the internal situation.
But after that, the news stopped.
“We investigated Manbyeonggo through internal investigation within the Murim Alliance, but from the outside, they said it was no different from usual.”
“Hmm.”
Baekpyo let out a groan. Because he had also worked in an organization for a long time, he could see that the report was actually worse.
The problem must have arisen there, but it means it was resolved secretly internally.
“That’s why we’re looking into it from a variety of angles right now.”
Cheonmanghoeju Ban Seo-jeong, who was next to him, offered a word of help.
“We have activated all information networks of this conference. “There will be some news soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man wearing a bamboo hat came into the room.
He was not a military officer belonging to Cheonmanghoe, but a subordinate of Galsaryang. Galsaryang had Sejak and Biseon in important positions throughout the central plains, and Sejak, who came to visit him now, was a figure active within the Murim Alliance.
After telling something to Gal Saryang, he left.
“It looks like my lord is currently trapped in the underground prison.”
Baekpyo and Ban Seojeong were surprised to hear the word “underground prison.”
“What happened?”
“They say there was an explosion in the basement of Manbyeonggo. “I think I was probably caught up in the explosion.”
Baekpyo suddenly got up from his seat.
“Are you hurt a lot?”
“Luckily, it doesn’t seem like you were seriously injured.”
“Phew.”
Baekpyo sighed and sat down.
Gal Sa-ryang asked Ban Seo-jeong.
“Is there anyone who planted it in prison?”
“Yes i have.”
“Please move that person and contact the lord.”
“all right.”
“In times like these, we need to move more cautiously.”
As soon as Gal Sa-ryang spoke, he felt sorry. The last words were nothing more than a lie. Hasn’t she, like herself, been running an intelligence organization her whole life?
Because Ban Seo-jeong understood Gal Sa-ryang’s urgent feelings, he answered with a stronger voice.
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

She disappeared into the kitchen to give orders.
Baekpyo, who was alone with Galsaryang, asked softly.
“Should we go in?”
I wanted to lead the Black Panthers and go on a rescue mission to the prison right away.
But it wasn’t easy. Because the boundaries of the Murimmaeng underground prison were beyond imagination. Perhaps many of the Black Panthers will be sacrificed.
But that’s why I wanted to save Byeokridan, even if it meant dying, if I could.
Gal Sa-ryang calmly answered.
“I see that my lord is safe. Let’s wait for now. Instead, be prepared to go in at any time.”
“All right.”
Baekpyo thought that Galsaryang’s judgment was right. Although I was in a hurry, it was something I should not act lightly and recklessly. In times like these, you need to move calmly and systematically.
And above all, you must trust Byeokridan.

“… … father.”
The man was dying, and the old man looked down at him with complicated feelings.
“… … “Please take good care of So-seon.”
Even with his son’s last request for his grandson, the old man’s eyes were cold. The old man blamed himself.
‘Why did it become like this?’
The conflict with my son was so deep. He hated his son who did not understand him, and that made him suffer. He ignored his son and hated him. The same was true for my son. Now we have become cold to each other.
A tear flowed from my son’s eye.
“… … I’m sorry, father. I argued with my father all my life… … “I want to be born as my father’s son in my next life as well.”
With those words, my son took his last breath.
A deep sigh flowed from the old man’s mouth. I never thought his son would say something like this at the last moment.
“… … Damn you!”
It is against the law to say such things when dying. Especially for someone with whom you have been in conflict your whole life.
I thought I was lying for my grandson. She hopes that she will be well taken care of.
Even so, my heart was so full. If only we had exchanged stories like this a long time ago.
The old man slumped down on the spot.
“Damn it!”
An old man who had lived more than twenty years was sitting in the corner of the cave.
Although he seemed calm on the outside, regrets from the past were raging inside his mind like a typhoon. He could kill thousands of people without batting an eye, so I hoped his feelings for his son and grandson were sincere.
If even this feeling dries up… … Because you won’t have any human emotions left in you.
At that time, the man approached quickly. The old man smiled slightly at the sound of his light and cheerful footsteps. His hunch was correct.
“Fortunately, there is no harm to the puncher’s life.”
The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“You won’t be able to use martial arts for a while. “You will need to continue receiving treatment at Cheonran.”
“I wish I could live.”
“You look very tired. “Please rest a little more.”
“Do you have any alcohol?”
“I have something to drink.”
“Bring it.”
“Hasn’t it been a while since you haven’t eaten?”
“I think I should have a drink on a day like today.”
“All right.”
The man went to the edge of the cave and brought back the alcohol that was stored there.
The old man drank.
“Cough!”
Perhaps because it was my first time drinking alcohol in a long time, I heard a cough and started coughing.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay.”
The old man drank again. This time I drank so much that I thought I might be drinking too much at once.
The man watched the old man with concern.
But the old man knew better. That expression on the man’s face was not from sincerity; it was all trained. From an early age he taught himself.
After his son died, the old man had no one to fall in love with. Even Cheon So-seon, the only one left, felt burdened.
‘It’s not something I’m suited for. To truly care about someone.’
That was the conclusion the old man came to while raising Cheon So-seon until now. As if to prove that it was the right decision, even though Cheon So-seon was told that he was fine, his head felt dizzy and painful.
“Go and get more drinks. “It’s been a while since I had a drink.”
And these feelings that I want to shake off that are swirling in my head will be mixed with a desire for revenge and blown away. Just like it has been until now.

[hey.]
The Heavenly Demon spoke again. I don’t know what his situation is, but I thought he would be frustrated if he were trapped in my mind. My heart is not as wide as the sea.
[busy.]
[Why are you busy? I know for sure that you’re not busy. It only takes a moment!]
When I didn’t answer anything, the Heavenly Demon shouted repeatedly.
[Cheon Ha-jin, Cheon Ha-jin, Murim Lord Cheon Ha-jin, Cheon Ha-jin, Cheon Ha-jin who believes in love, Cheon Ha-jin… … .]
In the middle, I almost burst out laughing at the mention of Cheon Ha-jin, who believes in love.
[noisy. Okay, so tell me.]
[I was thinking about what you said before.]
[What?]
[I lost because I didn’t believe in love.]
[I have to say it clearly. You said you lost because you were selfish, not because you didn’t believe in love.]
[I thought about it… … What does that mean?]
[Literally.]
[Okay, I admit it. Let’s say I’m a selfish bastard who only cares about myself. Why did you lose because of that?]
[Were you thinking seriously? She was just saying it.]
[This bastard!]
It’s definitely fun to make fun of the Heavenly Demon. Probably because they died at a similar age.
Oh, now that I think about it, how old was the Heavenly Demon when he died? I think he was around the same age as when I died, or a bit older.
[Hey, Cheon Gwang.]
[You bastard! I told you not to call me by my name carelessly!]
[Okay, then.]
I stopped the conversation.
After a while, the thirsty Cheonma dug a well.
[What do you mean?]
[…] … .]
[What were you trying to say? say. You bastard!]
I provoked him further and said what I was going to say because he was going to be complaining all day.
[You and I, our martial arts skills are amazing. Cutting stones and metal. If you put your mind to it, you can even collapse a cliff.]
[I can’t believe I’m saying that with my own mouth. however?]
[But in the end, aren’t we dealing with people?]
[what?]
[Because we didn’t learn martial arts to cut metal or stones. I learned to kill you, and you learned to kill me, right?]
[however? What on earth are you trying to say?]
[You don’t understand at all. That’s right. We are dealing with people.]
[however?]
[In the end, it is a matter of faith. The difference in skill at the last piece of paper that allows us to kill each other is not the difference in herbivory.]
[Is it a matter of the heart?]
[yes.]
For a moment, the Heavenly Demon did not say anything. This part was something worth thinking about beyond Jeonggong and Magical Gong. Also, it was possible because both he and I had reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
After a while, Cheonma asked.
[Do you really believe it? In the ultimate battle, the selfish person ultimately loses.]
[no.]
[what?]
[What does personality have to do with it? The strong one wins.]
[You crazy bastard! Are you making fun of me?]
I said to the angry Cheonma. My answer a moment ago was mixed with humor, but what I am saying now is my sincerity.
[I just hope. I hope that strong guy is a little humane.]
Silence flows again. What is he really thinking?
I could feel it.
It’s a little different from the Heavenly Demon from when he was at war with me.
He was a villain at the time. Because he was the absolute leader of the Demonic Cult, he only seemed to have the authority and nobility that that position gave him, but in essence, he was a demon and an evil person to the core.
But he feels very different now than he did back then. Just as I have changed in my new life, something has changed for him too.
[You guys are pathetic and stupid political bastards for attaching such useless meaning to martial arts.]
[Anyway, this pathetic idiot beat you, right?]
[Damn it! shit! I’m angry. I can’t believe I was killed by a future political stooge like you!]
I chuckled and focused on solving the inner power of the dantian.
In fact, he acts as if he finds him annoying, but as he talks to Cheonma, he comes to think of many things.
It might sound crazy to some, but I honestly enjoy talking to him.
He is not someone who needs to be looked after or protected. He doesn’t even need to look good. Moreover, he had a similar martial arts level to me, and in the past, he even engaged in a life-and-death battle once.
I have a vague feeling.
Meeting him would greatly change my martial arts skills and my life. No, maybe the change has already begun.
martial arts,
