Episode 688 The world is not lived alone. (2)
“so… … .”
“… … .”
The face of the middle-aged man wearing the conduit gradually distorted. Then the young man sitting in front of him flinched and shrugged his shoulders.
It’s not a particularly strange sight.
It’s a common occurrence for an older person to reprimand a younger student.
However, the story is a little different if the person receiving the scolding is Cheongmyeong, a volcanic sect that even the leaders and elders of the sect raised with both hands and feet.
What an uncontrollable piece of shit.
It was said that people of the same sect would distance themselves by more than thirty feet if they made eye contact, and it was quite a rare sight to see Manjong, the worst person in the history of Hwasan, shrug his shoulders like that.
“But who knows that I’m here…” … .”
“why? “If you tell me who it is, will you go and beat me up?”
“lol… … . I can’t believe that. “You know what I’ve been thinking about these days.”
“Hold your heart? you?”
“… … .”
Qingming gritted his teeth quietly.
‘I won’t leave you alone if I catch whoever is scheming.’
When other noblemen come and admonish him, he just scoffs and runs away. But no matter how Cheongmyeong was, there was nothing he could do about Cheongmun.
“therefore… … .”
“… … Yes, death penalty.”
Cheongmyeong glanced at Cheongmun’s feelings.
‘Oh, Mr.’
There are deep furrows around the eyes, where kindness always resided. This meant that I had to at least listen to Si-jin who was nagging me.
“Hey, get that from me, that…” … .”
“omg! Cane? execution! I’m older now too… … !”
“… … water. “Bring water.”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up helplessly, and took the water bottle left in front of the door.
“Here you go.”
“Sit down.”
“Nun.”
As Cheongmyeong sat down again, Cheongmun quenched his burning throat. And he sighed deeply.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“… … Was it a big mistake for the priest to ask you about swordsmanship?”
“No.”
“Is it wrong for a priest who wanted to become strong to muster up great courage and ask you for a sword?”
“… … no.”
Cheongmun’s face was distorted.
“Then why did you hit me?”
“… … .”
“Why did you hit me, why! If your child doesn’t know something, you can ask them! Beat the kid for asking that? Are you still a Taoist?! uh?”
“Death penalty! Be consistent in your words and actions! “Put down that fist!”
“I lost my temper, me!”
Daehyeon Prosecutor’s Office hearing.
He is a great disciple of Hwasan who knows benevolence, knows the Tao, and whose wisdom calms the hearts of those who look at him. He is the one who can’t let go of the position of the next Hwasan scholar, and makes even the followers of Hwasan secretly hope for the current Jang scholar’s fortune.
A swordsman and swordsman renowned throughout the world.
But even the great swordsman Cheongmun had no reason left in front of this goby.
“You beat up a kid and made him have to be taken to the medical center just for asking that question? Have you even spread honey on the chamhoe-dong? “Why are you so upset that you can’t go into the confessional building?”
“Honey? How much I hate chamhoe-dong. If you stay in a place without any light for a week, it’s just… … .”
“Just like that?”
“… … Chungcheon is so determined to kill the guy who brought him in here as soon as he leaves… … .”
“Beat me too, you bastard! “I lose too!”
In the end, Cheongmun couldn’t bear it anymore and threw Seojin, who was in his hand, at Cheongmyeong. However, Cheongmyeong quickly snatched it away and just smiled cheerfully.
“no way. You have to say something that makes sense. “How can I give you the death penalty?”
“… … “Is it okay to hit a priest?”
“The priest must be right.”
“What about Sasook?”
“If Sasook talks nonsense, it’s okay.”
“… … .”
Taking advantage of the silence, Cheongmyeong quickly put Seojin back in his place and laughed awkwardly. Cheongmun sighed deeply.
“Why did you hit me?”
“execution. “I think you misunderstood, but I didn’t like it because he asked me that.”
“then?”
“You know what I also heard from my brother-in-law? “I heard it so hard that my ears were pounding with passion, but was it really necessary for me to fight so hard?”
“So why did you hit me?”
Cheongmyeong seemed to be getting angry because he was remembering that time, and he said with a huff.
“No, I explained it in detail and even demonstrated it.”
“… … however?”

“Even if I tell you three times, you still won’t get it! And keep telling me!”
“… … .”
“Why do I keep telling this guy who won’t understand even if I tell him! “It’s not like you’re screwing people over!”
Cheongmun, who was slightly speechless, looked at Cheongmyeong and sighed.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“yes?”
“Are you frustrated?”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong pushed his pouting mouth back into his mouth.
He liked this aspect of the hearing. If it were other people, he would have been completely angry, wondering if that made any sense. However, before getting angry, Cheongmun thought about his situation one more time.
“It’s not particularly frustrating… … .”
Cheongmyeong muttered softly.
“It’s not going to work anyway.”
“… … .”
“There are things that work if you work hard, and there are things that don’t work, but I don’t know why they’re so inferior.”
Cheongmun just looked at him without saying anything. Cheongmyeong, feeling embarrassed, lowered his head.
“Cheongmyeong. “Those guys are your priests.”
“… … .”
“Of course, it might be frustrating from your perspective. But won’t you someday encounter something you can’t handle on your own?”
“… … .”
“Then what will we do then?”
“Shouldn’t I just be stronger?”
“What if that doesn’t work?”
“Then we have to be stronger.”
“… … .”
As Cheongmun looked at him with a puzzled face, Cheongmyeong shook his head.
“I know this sounds frustrating. “By the way, death penalty.”
“hmm?”
“It is said that the speed at which the volcano grows by training alone is faster than the speed at which the volcano grows by teaching those guys.”
“… … .”
“You just don’t have to grab your ankle. Then I will take care of everything. Shaolin and shaman, I will just beat them all. “For the death penalty, you can just watch the exorcism and then eat the rice cake.”
“… … .”
“lol. “If possible, it would be good if you could share at least one piece of rice cake.”
Cheongmun let out a long breath through his nose. Cheongmyeong flinched as he was stabbed, but in fact, the look in Cheongmun’s gaze towards him was pity.
To others, Cheongmyeong’s words may only sound like an absurd excuse to avoid punishment. However, it felt very sad for Cheongmun.
‘I wouldn’t be able to fit in.’
The world that Cheongmyeong sees is different from the world that others see.
When someone notices one thing in what is in front of them, Qingmyeong sees ten or twenty things at once. Would those two be able to communicate with each other?
To Cheongmyeong, even Cheongmun will be seen as an extremely frustrating and clueless person. Nevertheless, the person who talks about the death penalty and being caned is Cheongmyeong.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“yes.”
“How far do you want to go alone?”
“… … .”
“okay. I understand how you feel. “I also know that becoming stronger on your own is several times more beneficial to the volcano than dragging other guys with you.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But then how much more fiercely will you have to live?”
Cheongmun quietly shook his head and continued speaking.
“It may seem like you are leaving everything and going alone, but in reality, it is the opposite way and carrying everything on your back. “Can you handle the fate of this volcano alone?”
“… … .”
“Yes, it might be possible. But that’s no different from climbing a steep cliff with bare hands. Didn’t someone who climbed the cliff countless times fall down into the distance because of a moment’s mistake? “Can you live your whole life with such tension and burden?”
Cheongmyeong could not say anything. This is because the voice at the hearing was filled with sincerity that could not be more expressed.
“Even if it were possible, I don’t want you to live a life like that.”
“execution.”
Cheongmun quietly smiled.
“I think it’s not that they are slow, but that you are too fast.”
“… … .”
“If you run blindly, you won’t see anyone following you. “You may look back once or twice at first, but if there is no one in sight each time, you will end up running without looking back again.”
Cheongmyeong looked at Cheongmun in silence.
He sometimes found it difficult to understand what Cheongmun was saying. This was because it was not something that could be interpreted through reason and logic.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“You do not live alone in this world.”
“… … .”
“No one can live alone. If you don’t have those frustrating kids you’re talking about, you’re the one who gets the most frustrated. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Yes, death penalty. i know. I know, but… … .”
“Please delay a little.”
Cheongmyeong sighed in frustration.
“I know what you mean. that is… … . yes. Honestly, that doesn’t make any sense. No matter how much I wait and delay, if he doesn’t intend to follow in the end… … .”
“Do you really think your priests don’t want to keep up with you?”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it because of the thorn you raised that I can’t express such thoughts in front of you?”
“that… … .”
Cheongmun eventually smiled with a slightly sad heart.
‘That guy too.’
he knows
Even if others didn’t know, he knew.
The fact that the person I am most waiting for to stand next to me is Cheongmyeong. Otherwise, there would be no way for Cheongmyeong to listen to him so obediently.
It has been a long time since we overtook Cheongmun by force. Even the elders of the sect cannot do anything about Cheongmyeong with a sword. And Cheongmyeong knew that fact best, and he didn’t make a fuss about it.
There was no way that simple-minded guy would strictly follow Cheong-mun’s words just because he had raised him.
Cheongmyeong also knows.
If his relationship with Cheongmun is severed, he will have no choice but to be alone in the end.
‘It’s different from us.’
For Cheongmyeong, the world is a volcano.
They are different from those who climbed the volcano after deciding to become a Taoist monk to see the world. From the time Cheongmyeong was able to see the world with his eyes, he stayed only in volcanoes.
How could Cheongmun guess how he was looking at the volcano?
“Cheongmyeong.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“I’m not asking you to watch the priests for the volcano.”
“… … .”
“See for yourself. For you. “The day will come when you too will realize the importance of those who have your back.”
Then Cheongmyeong looked at Cheongmun with even more serious eyes. Cheongmun smiled happily at that very serious face.
“Okay, I get it… … .”
“No, that only makes sense if it’s minimally useful! If those things support my back, then I’m done! “You should put down your sword.”
“… … .”
“You have to say something that makes sense so they will listen! yes? What are they? Hey! “Unless I fall and am reborn, that won’t happen.”
Cheongmun laughed out loud.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“yes!”
“Bring the whip.”
“… … .”
“hurry!”
“under. haha… … . ha ha ha.”
Cheongmyeong smiled awkwardly and jumped up from his seat.
“execution!”
“huh?”
“I will engrave the words of death penalty on my bones. I completely understood what you said about taking good care of the priests. “I will reform my bones.”
“… … .”
“Then I’m off!”
Then he kicked out the door and ran away without even looking back.
“Hey, that guy! Why don’t you stand there! You have to go see the volcano! “Where are you going to run away to?”
“I’m going to practice!”
Cheongmun sighed as he heard a voice coming from far away.
‘You’re asking for too much.’
People cannot be perfect.
People who have exceptional talent in one field are often lacking in other areas. Although Cheongmyeong was born with unparalleled military talent, because of that, he does not know how to get along with people and embrace them.
And that was making Cheongmyeong more and more isolated.
Being strong is a good thing.
But what is the point in becoming strong alone without anyone to rejoice with you?
The names Cheongmun and Hwasan still supported Cheongmyeong, but there was no telling when the reins would be loosened. Cheongmun always felt sad and upset, wondering if the day would come when tears would flow from Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
Cheongmun, who was closing the door that Cheongmyeong had kicked out, stopped when something caught his eye.
There was something that looked like grass roots lying where Cheongmyeong had been sitting just a moment ago.
“… … “Is it three?”
Wild ginseng.
It seemed like he had gone deep into the mountains for training and found it.
“… … guy.”
As I looked at the hemp that Cheongmyeong had left behind, my sorrow grew twice. On the one hand, I could feel Cheongmyeong’s heart for Cheongmun at the grassroots, and on the other hand, it was nice to see Cheongmyeong’s back as he left the comfortable training ground and went to practice deep in the mountains, unnoticed by others.
When I remembered that clumsy appearance, a part of my heart ached.
“Someday… … .”
One day, that child will be able to meet people who will give their heart to him.
If I could see Cheongmyeong smile flawlessly among others even just once, I would have asked for nothing more.
“It’s still a long way off.”
Nevertheless, the day will come when this volcano will fully embrace that child.
It was a hearing that I really wanted to believe.
