Episode 832 Go to your head and argue about that. (2)
The rumor that the Sa-Pae-ryeon had signed a non-aggression pact with the Gu-pa-il-bang in Gangnam swept through the central plains like a storm. Even those who did not believe it at first had no choice but to open their mouths as they heard the same news one after another.
“How on earth can a political faction collude with a political faction?”
“Isn’t it a bit much to call it collusion?”
“Is this collusion, or what on earth is collusion?”
“Yes, but… … .”
The news that angered those who heard the rumor the most was that they had abandoned the Yangtze River.
The enemy forces on the Yangtze River suffered severe damage due to this war. In such a situation, if the Gupa Il-bang and the Five Daes are prevented from setting foot on the Yangtze River, isn’t it obvious that they will go crazy?
This is no different from the Gu faction and the Five generations abandoning the people of Gangnam.
People in the world were angry about that fact, but the news that came in succession was even more shocking.
– The person who led this treaty was the shaman Heo Do-jin.
– Beopgye, the elder of Shaolin, Hwang Namgung, the head of the Namgung family, and Byeok Hyeonja, the chieftain of Cheongseong, sympathized with Heo Do Jin-in.
– The nine factions and the five generations who did not go to the Yangtze River will also agree to this treaty.
At first it was just shock, but the second time the anger built up, and the third time it eventually turned into hatred. Those who exploded at the news they heard one after another climbed Mt. Wudang themselves.
Those who crossed Haegeomji and reached the main gate of the shaman could not help but be astonished when they saw the tightly closed mountain gate.
“You set things up like this and then pay homage?”
“There are degrees of shamelessness!”
“come out! “Come out now!”
In fact, the situation would have been a little different if the shaman had greeted the visitors without greeting them. No matter how wrong it was, there wouldn’t have been many people who would openly swear in front of the shaman.
However, the tightly closed door set fire to the hearts of those who were trying to be polite.
“You damn bastards! Even after all this, are you a political faction?”
“You talked about being a traitor and all that, and now you’re abandoning innocent civilians?”
“It’s a waste of all the years I spent trusting in you!”
Those who flocked to the mountain gate began throwing the items they were holding at the gate and over the fence.
The first time is usually difficult. As those in front started swearing and throwing things, those following them also raised their voices and criticized the shaman.
The swearing went too far, and some people even kicked the closed gate with all their might and spat.
“… … .”
On the other side, inside the mountain gate, Jinhyeon, who was silently listening to the swearing, closed his eyes tightly.
“Jinhyeon.”
Mujin carefully placed his hand on his shoulder.
“Let’s go in. “It only hurts to stay here.”
“… … “No, Sasuk.”
But Jinhyeon shook his head and endured.
“You have to look carefully. “Looking away doesn’t mean things will change, right?”
“That may be true, but… … .”
Jinhyeon sighed deeply and looked back at the prose. The sound of the door slamming and the dirt flying over the wall was heartbreaking.
‘This much… … .’
He muttered in a hollow voice.
“Actually, I didn’t expect you to be this cold-hearted. Still, there must have been quite a bit done in the name of a shaman.”
“I’m not angry because nothing was done. I am angry because I have done a lot. “If there are no expectations, there can be no disappointment, right?”
“… … “I guess so.”
But those words did not comfort Jinhyeon. In other words, their disappointment is this extreme.
“Sasuk.”
“Speak.”
“I know that Jang Moon-in’s choice was not wrong. And the fact that all those choices were for us.”
“… … .”
“but… … Looking at this now, I wonder if it would have been better to die there. It’s not that it’s shameful… … If I had known that the shaman’s name would fall to the ground like this… … .”
Mujin sighed deeply in frustration.
But why doesn’t he know Jinhyeon’s feelings?
To them, being a shaman’s disciple was an extremely honorable thing.
How could I forget the envious looks that poured in when I walked down the main street wearing a shaman’s attire?
But you won’t get that look anymore.
To them, shamans have become charlatans who joined hands with Safa to survive.
Mujin sighed and tapped Jinhyeon on the shoulder.
“Life is a waste for everyone.”
“… … .”
“What is wrong is wrong. But if there’s something wrong, we can make it up to you. “If the day comes when we establish a shaman’s council again, then even those who are angry will look at us again.”
“… … Yes, Sasuk.”
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
When Mujin nodded and turned around, Jinhyeon followed him and turned around. But he couldn’t easily take his feet off.
Jinhyeon looked at Mujin’s back with a bitter expression.
‘But Sasuk. There were people there who did not regret their lives.’
Wouldn’t they be afraid? No, that can’t be true.
There was only one difference between them and the shaman.
Can you carry out your will even in the face of fear?
Are you able to take a step forward even though you are afraid?
That small difference, which was not that big, led to such a drastic difference in results.

‘It’s difficult.’
What is consultation? What is justice?
Things we thought we already knew are becoming unclear.
The harsh swear words from the middle school students were still coming through the door.
The fact that there was nothing wrong with each of the swear words they uttered made him even more sad.
‘I’m sorry.’
I said it with all my heart. It was an apology she didn’t even know she was making to someone.
* * *
Although the rumor was inherently fast, this time, thanks to Hao Wen’s active encouragement, the ship spread throughout the world faster than its original speed.
Everyone who heard it was angry, but among them, there were some who didn’t even have time to be angry.
These were the people who lived with the Yangtze River as their lifeline.
Kwaaaaang!
A speed boat mercilessly rammed into a boat crossing the Yangtze River. The moment the ship tilted, chains flew from the speedboat and connected them. Stepping on the chains, the bandits quickly boarded the ship.
“Please save me!”
Those who saw the numbers became mesmerized and fell flat on the spot.
The pirates on board the ship had sinister eyes.
“If there is someone who hides even a penny, I will cut his bones and flesh right here! Give everything you have! Go and open the hold and take everything you can use!”
“yes!”
“Giving everything away, isn’t that too harsh? I’ll prepare the toll fee for you, so please… … .”
As an old man approached and begged, the eyes of the leader of the bandit narrowed.
“Who the hell are you?”
“I am the captain of this ship, Nauri. If you take all of this, we will be ruined. If we fail, those who will heal us… … .”
Suddenly!
At that moment, the crystal sword cut through the captain’s chest.
“Aaaahhh!”
The old captain, whose chest was split open, screamed and fell to the ground.
“Hey!”
The people who saw a person being cut down by a sword in an instant began to tremble in fear.
“You arrogant bastard, how dare you try to teach me?”
Sujeok licked the blood from the knife with his tongue, twisted the corners of his mouth and smiled wryly.
“There are plenty of people who will pay even without you. “If you complain one more time, I will kill you all and throw you to fish.”
“If anyone is caught hiding, they will die on the spot!”
“Move quickly!”
One by one, people began to open their wallets. His pale face was full of resignation. If all the money they had was taken away, starvation would be inevitable, but it was still better than dying.
‘How did something like this happen…’ … .’
The enemies were more venomous than ever before. In the past, they managed the Yangtze River in their own way by collecting a reasonable toll, but recently, wherever they went, only ugly sounds and cries were heard.
Thanks to the destruction of the Suchae by the Gupa Ilbang and the Five Daesega, the injured enemy forces are killing people and stealing goods without any hesitation.
‘If this happens, all the merchants traveling up and down the Yangtze River will go bankrupt.’
‘What on earth will happen…? … .’
‘If they hadn’t come to the Yangtze River, this wouldn’t have happened!’
Everyone gritted their teeth inwardly. In a way, it was a fun thing to do. Isn’t the anger toward the Gupa Ilbang and the Five Generations, who brought the situation to this point, greater than the anger toward the bandits who are robbing and killing people right before our eyes?
“I walked everything. “What are we going to do with these guys?”
“Send it away.”
The person who appeared to be the leader said with a grin.
“The government does not come forward unless people die en masse. Wealth is a good thing. “They’re not people who won’t collect taxes just because we robbed them anyway.”
The faces of the civilians who heard those words turned black. It was because there was no mistake in what they said.
“There’s no need to scratch and make crumbs. Besides, if you let them go alive, won’t they have to take money and go on a boat again? See you next time. Next time, if you want to save your life, ride with plenty of money. Hahahahaha!”
The bandits, who had completely destroyed the ship, laughed and moved to their own ship. And it quickly went away.
Those who were looking at the back of the boat in confusion fell into their seats and began to wail.
“… … I am ruined. I spent all my money on this commercial trip… … . If this happens, even if I return, I will have no choice but to starve to death!”
“Are you starving to death? I even owed money! “Now I’m sold out without any hesitation and I have a store!”
“Damn it! “Until recently, something like this never happened!”
“What kind of situation is this because of those old school bastards?”
They did not board the boat carelessly even though the Yangtze River was dangerous. Although they know it is dangerous, they have no choice but to board the ship in order to make a living.
Those who rely on the Yangtze River as their lifeline have no choice but to make a living from the Yangtze River. Even though we know it is dangerous, it is very difficult to find another way to live now.
“… … “How on earth are we supposed to live?”
“Hehehehe.”
This ship wasn’t the only one experiencing this. A similar situation was occurring throughout the Yangtze River.
Those who had suffered extensive damage were greedily plundering ships and filling their stomachs with the permission of the Black Dragon King.
Normally, when they thought their atrocities were getting worse, the common people would run to the faction belonging to the political faction and ask for help, but now they had no choice but to endure their tyranny.
“Captain, are you okay!”
“Here, get a clean cloth! right now!”
The sailors were busy checking the condition of the captain who had fallen on the floor. The soldiers who saw the captain’s pale face as he had lost a lot of blood were overcome with despair and cursed.
“Heo Do-jin, that bastard who will rip you to death!”
“Are shamans the only problem? Namgung and Shaolin were there too! “They’re all the same, whether they’re from the old or the old, they’re all the same!”
“When have those self-indulgent bastards ever paid attention to us? What if we just talk about it? They look like people who will be killed by being splashed in shit! “Those guys are just as outnumbered as our enemies!”
“Tueet! “Because I’m dirty!”
The ship turned helplessly.
Since all of your belongings have been taken away, heading to your destination will only cost you more on the return fare.
“… … “I guess I’ll just have to hope I don’t run into any enemies on the way back.”
“It’s already been taken away, so what does it matter?”
“Don’t say anything you don’t know… … . “What if they get angry and try to harm me because I don’t have any fur?”
“… … .”
One of the merchants sighed as if the ground was falling.
“Life is so hard. It’s really so hard… … .”
Everyone became solemn at that complaint. At a time when everyone was immersed in their own sadness, someone pointed outside the boat and said.
“Look over there… … . “It looks like that ship will get caught too.”
“oh my… … .”
Sure enough, I saw a ship approaching from afar. The speedboat that discovered this turned its bow and began heading towards the approaching ship.
Everyone looked there with sad expressions. There was no choice but to watch with pity the misfortune that was destined to happen.
“Look over there, over there.”
“what?”
“Another enemy ship is coming. “They aren’t even baby carp, they come in large groups.”
“What on earth is going to happen to the Yangtze River?”
Everyone was speechless at the terrible sight.
At that time, someone muttered curiously.
“… … But why does it go that way?”
“huh?”
“In the first place, wasn’t the one who attacked the enemy first the one who owned it? “That speedboat has already stopped by, so why go there?”
“… … huh?”
The middle school people blinked and looked at that place again.
“Going fast… … . uh? Huh? “Uh-huh?”
The boat that appeared late rushed forward without even slowing down. Then, it rammed into the speedboat that was attached to the merchant ship.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“… … omg?”
The eyes of the middle school students became as big as lanterns.
