Episode 737 Will there be ghosts or monsters? (2)
“Ok.”
Baekcheon’s steps toward the restaurant were slow and easy.
‘I’m dying.’
My whole body feels heavy like wet cotton. No, it wasn’t just that much, it felt like I was barely able to walk while carrying a rock the size of a house on my shoulder.
– what? Did you do it yourself? Are you going to learn your own skills with this kind of skill? What would the great writers of previous generations say if they saw it? Don’t even dream until you get dirt in my eyes, you bastards!
Hyeonyoung’s harsh voice was pleasant to my ears. Baekcheon’s body trembled.
‘There is a devil. ‘The devil.’
I thought Cheongmyeong was the only devil in the volcano, but who would have imagined that there was a devil even older than that?
While Cheongmyeong is a person who pushes a person’s body to its limits and makes people wonder, ‘Can my body really endure this?’, Hyunyoung pushes a person’s mental power to its limits and wonders, ‘Will I really be able to not give up until the end?’ He was the person who made it happen.
“I feel like I’m going to die, Sasuk… … .”
“… … me too.”
Baekcheon sighed as he looked at Yoonjong staggering next to him.
Swinging a sword in the water doesn’t mean it’s overly difficult. Of course, it is difficult to use internal strength without breathing, but it does not push a person to the limit like climbing a cliff with rocks hanging all over his body.
The key is to endure through your own will.
The cliff ends once you climb it. No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, there is an end.
But swinging a sword in the water is an endless task. Even Baekcheon had to resist the urge to cut the rope tied to his feet and leap out of the water several times.
So, after this training was over, not only was I tired, but my mind felt heavy as if there was fog.
‘But if you think about it, it’s a really reasonable training method.’
Because now they are not proving their strength, but rather proving their qualifications to learn their own skills.
Shingong is a mixture of two methods: a method of using internal energy and a method of controlling the mind.
In other words, being good at using a sword and having a strong body are of no help in learning new skills. Only strong mental power and strong will are the foundation for learning new skills.
In that sense, this training method can be said to be optimal for determining how strong mental strength and patience students have.
okay… … . It’s not optimal… … .
‘The problem is that I feel like I’m going to collapse right now.’
Baekcheon awkwardly lifted his heavy hand, opened the restaurant door, and entered.
“… … “I don’t think I can eat it?”
“Still, I have to eat. “If I want to survive tomorrow’s training.”
Baekcheon sighed and looked around to find an empty seat.
“huh?”
Then I suddenly realized something strange.
‘What is everyone looking at?’
The eyes of everyone else sitting in the restaurant were already focused to one side. For some reason, all of their expressions seemed to be seeing something strange.
Baekcheon, who naturally looked at them together, nodded as if he understood.
“It’s Cheongmyeong.”
“Yes, it’s Cheongmyeong.”
“Nothing new, it’s Cheongmyeong.”
Everyone tried to turn their heads with a satisfied look on their faces. Has it happened yesterday or today that the disciples couldn’t take their eyes off Cheongmyeong? At least something else would have caused an accident.
Normally, Ogum would have moved immediately to find out what this bastard had done, but today, since he was about to collapse at any moment, he had no intention or motivation to do so.
Baekcheon, who was trying to cut off attention for the sake of his mental health, flinched for a moment. It felt like something strange had just caught my eye.
“uh?”
He slowly turned his gaze back towards Cheongmyeong and opened his mouth blankly.
haha.
guy.
If Sa-sook came, I would at least pretend to know her. She’s turning her head as if she saw something she couldn’t see.
okay. Turn your head completely back… … .
Cheongmyeong… … Why do you eat like that?
Can you eat rice with your neck turned like that?
“… … “Why is he doing that?”
“Leave it alone. “How long has he been acting crazy for a day or two?”
“It’s not even one or two days, but how do you do something so different and novel and crazy every time?”
Baekcheon’s eyes narrowed.
Cheongmyeong, sitting at the table across from him, was still eating in a strange posture. Even though his shoulders were straight, only his neck was turned almost backwards, making him very strange.
“… … “It’s all spilled.”
“Does it seem like something is leaking out of your mouth?”
Baekcheon could not bear to see any more and closed his eyes tightly.
‘Cheongmyeong, please.’
Now that everyone in Hwasan knows full well that you are insane, there is no need to go to this length, right?
In the end, Baekcheon couldn’t bear it any longer and trudged helplessly towards Cheongmyeong. Because he had approached the front of Cheongmyeong, all he could see was the back of the guy’s head.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“huh? “Is it a private residence?”
… … When someone calls you, you should at least turn your head and speak.
Baekcheon opened his mouth with a shocked expression.
“that… … Now I feel like it’s really meaningless to ask this again… … “Is there any problem?”
“huh? what?”
“Unless there is a problem, is there any other reason why you eat with the attitude of ‘I will ignore the whole world from today’?”
“Ah, this?”
Cheongmyeong grins… … . No, he said, only looking at the back of his head as if he was grinning.

“It’s nothing. Just a little uh… … While I was practicing, I came across the Juhwa Ilma.”
“Oh, I see. I asked for something useless… … . “What, man?”
Baekcheon, who had roughly answered and turned around, suddenly approached Cheongmyeong again like a thunderbolt.
“What, what came now?”
“Uh, it looks like I got a little hit by a coin… … . Ha, Mr. “Everything else is fine, but my neck doesn’t turn.”
As Baekcheon was left speechless, his mouth wide open, Cheongmyeong babbled as if he was annoyed.
“This is so… … .”
Then, he suddenly grabbed my head and started twisting and turning it recklessly.
Wood-dud-dud-duk! Wood-dud-dud-duk!
“Ha, no… … . don’t do it! “You bastard!”
You can hear the neck breaking, you crazy bastard!
No, crazy! What do I do to make my neck spin?
“Well, that’s strange… … . “It definitely seemed like it was working, but where do I start fixing it?”
“… … .”
“Okay. “I’ll eat later and figure out what to do with this first.”
Cheongmyeong fumbled with the table and stood up.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? “I’m fine!”
“… … .”
What on earth is the extent of this guy’s ‘fine’?
At this rate, I think it’s okay to treat someone without a limb as if they’re fine… … .
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. “This kind of thing gets better if you sleep well.”
“… … .”
“ha ha ha. As I live, I experience all sorts of things. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Cheongmyeong walks hurriedly toward the entrance.
thud!
“uh. The entrance is not here… … .”
thud!
“Hey, Mr.!”
thud! thud!
After hitting the wall a couple more times, Cheongmyeong found the door and went out, laughing. There was silence in the restaurant.
Jo-geol and Yoon-jong, with mesmerized faces, approached Baek-cheon, who was staring blankly at the bizarre scene.
“Would it be okay?”
“… … Now it’s done… … .”
Baekcheon looked at the closed door in confusion and opened his mouth.
“I guess it’ll be okay…” … ji?”
“… … .”
There was no answer back.
* * *
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The soul gradually drained from the eyes of the three people looking at Cheongmyeong.
“Sasuk, Sasuk.”
“… … .”
“Come and grab this for me. Mr. Ha, this is your arm… … .”
Baekcheon’s eyes, which were relaxed, barely regained focus.
Fortunately, Cheongmyeong’s neck, which had been turned backwards, seemed to have returned to its original position. That was a very fortunate thing.
However, if there is a minor problem… … .
“… … “What’s wrong with your arm again?”
“uh… … . It’s just no big deal. It’s a little bit trivial… … .”
“Minor?”
“huh. Minor.”
“Your arms are behind your shoulders right now?”
The right arm was behind the head and touching the back, and the other leg was completely turned back and the heel was forward. As a result, my back was completely bent to the side, and it felt like my head was going to hit the floor at any moment. So, so to speak, the person was twisted and bent to resemble a sickle.
‘Even if I were told to do it on purpose, I wouldn’t be able to do it like that.’
But what? Minor?
“No, you crazy bastard! What on earth are you doing! “Why does my body keep doing that?”
“weird… … . This can’t be happening. “I obviously did it perfectly.”
Cheongmyeong calmly tilted his head as if he was not okay.
“Is the direction from Daechuhyeol to Myeongmunhyeol wrong? “Isn’t that also true?”
“First of all, let’s go to the Uiyakdang, Cheongmyeong! To the medical center! “If you do this, you’ll die!”
“no way. Because it’s not like that. “This will get better quickly.”
“… … .”
“But it was so hard to get dressed. Tsk. Okay, Sasuk. “I’ll fix this first.”
“… … .”
“Then see you later.”
Cheongmyeong, who greeted brightly and was about to walk forward, suddenly tilted.
“Aaaah!”
Baekcheon and Yoonjong rushed in with a white face and caught Cheongmyeong as he fell.
Then Cheongmyeong asked as if he didn’t understand.
“what? “Why did I go backwards when I was trying to go forward?”
“Hey, you bastard! “One foot is twisted backwards, so can you move forward?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Cheongmyeong smiled shyly and took his stance again.
“haha. don’t worry. “I made a mistake because I wasn’t used to it.”
“If you make a mistake twice, you will die! “Let’s just go to the medical center right now!”
“No need to worry. I know my body well. “This kind of thing gets better with spit.”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong gently put his foot out a couple of times, and as if he thought it wouldn’t work, he turned his head to the right side.
“good! See you later then.”
bean! bean! bean!
Cheongmyeong was so far away, jumping like a jiangshi.
Baekcheon, who was looking at the scene with a face bereft of his soul, heard Jogeol’s dejected voice in his ears.
“really… … Would it be okay?”
“… … .”
Baekcheon covered his face with both hands and sobbed.
“please… … .”
“yes?”
“please… … Can’t we live a normal life? huh?”
“… … It’s easier to give up. “Sasuk.”
Clear tears flowed from Baekcheon’s oily eyes.
* * *
Baekcheon and Yoonjong looked at Cheongmyeong in silence with quite nervous faces.
‘Does he seem fine?’
‘It looks fine on the outside, doesn’t it?’
We exchanged glances and checked again, but fortunately, Cheongmyeong seemed fine today. First of all, on the outside.
‘But it’s too early to be at ease.’
Baekcheon approached him cautiously. And, suppressing my pounding heart, I called out insinuatingly.
“Cheongmyeong.”
Then Cheongmyeong smiled brightly and raised his head. Baekcheon looked at that and asked with anger.
“Are you okay now?”
Then Cheongmyeong smiled even brighter.
“Treatment is complete… … . “Cheongmyeong?”
A brighter smile.
But that was all. Baekcheon slowly lowered his gaze. His hands were fluttering under Cheongmyeong’s sleeves. Looking closely, he seemed to be holding something and pretending to write.
“Walk.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
“… … “Bring paper, pencil and ink.”
“… … .”
Sigh. Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
He put a brush in my hand and laid out some paper in front of me. However, it seemed that the arm could not be extended forward. Only when Cheongmyeong brought the paper right in front of him did he write something down.
[No sound (啞巴).]
“… … .”
[Can’t walk forward.]
Baekcheon’s eyelids twitched and twitched.
“Hey… … .”
Baekcheon, who was looking for something to say, finally gave up and pulled out his hair.
“Then how did you get here, you bastard!”
Cheongmyeong smiled and scribbled on the paper again.
[don’t worry. Get well soon.]
Cheongmyeong put down his brush and suddenly stood up. Then he suddenly fell back with a smile on his face.
“Hey!”
Baekcheon was startled and stretched out his arm to catch him. However, as if this was all intentional, Cheongmyeong stretched out his hand behind his head to support his body, and then moved his arms and legs in the same position with his stomach up, moving away like a spider.
Yunjong looked blankly at him as he quickly walked away and spoke in a weak voice.
“… … “Isn’t he almost a monster at that point?”
Baekcheon just covered his face with both hands without saying a word.
