三,Inwoo Team Episode 5G3 Curse of the years.
old age.
Mungyeong quietly rolled the word off the tip of her tongue.
The sound doesn’t come out, but it’s stuffy and bitter. The voice of the following Jeokcheongang was the same.
“I’m thinking of leaving. I’m thinking of clearing my mind and body at Jiuhua Mountain.” U “There’s no way you wouldn’t know the reason. Please don’t stop me.” Like what Jeokcheongang said, Mungyeong knew well why he wanted to leave.
‘He must be afraid of becoming a burden.’ In the future, nohwan will come to visit from time to time.
And if their mind is clouded at an important moment, those who were with Jeokcheongang will face a big crisis.
What the enemies fear is Hwawang Jeokcheongang, not an old man who can’t remember where he lives or his name.
‘More precisely, it’s probably because he’s worried that his pupil will be in danger.’ There are precious things that no one should lose.
For a beggar begging in the street, a half-mashed dumpling is life, and for an emperor with a military official, the seal, which symbolizes authority and power, is more precious than 1,000 or 10,000 people.
A young man named Jin Tae-kyung was also such an existence to Jeokcheon-gang.
You can even trade it for your own life. A precious existence that cannot be lost no matter what happens.
“You care about your disciple quite a bit.”
Disciple, disciple “If you’re thinking of repeating the same nonsense this time as last time, stop it.” At Mungyeong’s hard voice, Jeokcheongang laughed bitterly.
“No, you are right. He is the one and only disciple of the old woman.”
“So do you think you’re a burden to your disciple? To the extent that you’re afraid of that and leave on your own?”
“That is the only option. It’s for him.”
“There are other options. Like the inner hem of the Imoogi I got this time.”
“You know, too. That you can’t heal with the acquired health keeper you can get from the elixir. And… Jeokcheongang looked down at his wrinkled hands and brained himself.
“The old lady has already aged too much. Even if the inside of the Imoogi had such an effect, you couldn’t rely on only one unlikely possibility and use it against an old man like me.” U “If I try to patch up the bottom of an old ship, water will leak somewhere in the old hull. But that guy, my student, is different.” Light seeped into the deeply sunken eyes, and the name of that light was joy and hope.
Mungyeong could feel the feelings toward the disciple intact in the two eyes of Jeokcheongang.
“This is a choice that can’t be helped. So, please accept the old lady’s request. So that you can leave in peace.” “……It’s a choice that can’t be helped. That’s right.” “Can I ask for that child again?” Mungyeong, who was staring at the Jeokcheon River, suddenly opened her mouth.
“If you go east by boat from Zhejiang, there is a small island country.” “Island country?”
“Have you not heard?”
Jeokcheongang blinked at the sudden question.
“Of course I have heard of it. Did the pirates come for a day or two to plunder?”
“Have you ever seen it yourself?”
“I’ve never seen them myself, but they say they’re weird looking. They say they carry a sword the size of my height, half-up their foreheads, and wear gimmicks like their underpants.”
“I don’t know who told you, but you heard it right.”
“But why is this story all of a sudden… … .”
The words of Jeokcheongang were interrupted by the words of Mungyeong, which immediately followed.
“A long time ago, I had a competition with the best man in Japan.”
Regarding the argument, Jeokcheongang had also heard of it.
Similar to Jungwon’s Salsu, they were not very high in martial arts, but they were excellent at stealing techniques and were good at memorizing things such as commendations.
“You don’t have to ask about the results. So, why are you bragging about having killed the number one person in the country?”
“I didn’t kill him. Because the goal was to be captured alive.”
A horse waiting for a captured target is one of two things.
Opening your mouth after suffering a little, or opening your mouth after experiencing terrible pain.
Death awaits at the end no matter what you choose, but the difference is how much more painful you die in the end.
“He was the latter.”
He endured for quite a long time, befitting a person whose name and color was considered the best in Japan, but unfortunately, the Salcheonmun to which Mungyeong belonged at the time was unquestionably the best killer school in the Middle Kingdom.
They used all the methods of torture they knew.
In that way, the Son of Man had to spit out all the information he knew in pain worse than death.
Not just information, but all the memories that were dormant in one’s brain.
“I heard then. Talk about a certain custom in Wa.”
“custom?”
“Did you know that in some countries there are people who abandon their aged parents in the mountains?”
“… … It’s not surprising, but they’re a thousand people angry.”
“I heard that it was intended to reduce its mouth. It doesn’t matter whether it dies of starvation or is bitten by wild beasts, and it throws it away.
To abandon the parents who raised them in the mountains just because they are old. If that’s true, they’re the ones who have nothing to do with viciousness.
In the event of a severe disaster, even among the common people, things that violated the laws of heaven were often committed, but having customs was a completely different story.
Mungyeong continued speaking in a dry voice.
“The Son of Man I captured also said that he abandoned his mother in the same way as in the past. But what do you think the mother would have said to a child who left herself deep in the mountains and left?” “Dogs.” “A man without a mother.” Jeokcheongang, seeing Mungyeong’s hardened face, continued with a complaint.
“If Taekyung was that guy, he would have answered like this. But the woman must have been different. Even if she is abandoned by her children, the mother’s heart does not easily disappear. So what did she finally say?”
“They told me to go slowly. It’s dark and you may fall, so don’t rush and be careful on the mountain road.”
Jeokcheongang was able to guess the mother’s heart. It was in the same context that he decided to leave.
Although they are not abandoned like the woman in the story of Mungyeong, they share the same desire to leave because they are afraid of becoming a burden to someone precious.
‘And the fact that Salseong told this story to Nobu… … Jeokcheongang looked at Mungyeong with eyes mixed with relief and bitterness.
“Can I interpret this to mean accepting the old lady’s request?” Mungyeong always calls herself a medical doctor.
Jeokcheongang thought that the reason he said this, even bringing out the old past that he did not want to recall, was that he would tolerate the proposal by comparing the mother of Inja to himself.
At least, until the next moment, when he saw Mungyeong shaking his head.
“What does that mean?”
“I know that shaking the head has the same meaning regardless of the East and the West. Is Yeolhwamun different?”
“Then why are you talking about this… …
“I forgot and didn’t tell you the ending. After that, the mother of the Son of Man enjoyed all her days and was buried in a sunny place. It’s because the unfilial son, who belatedly regained consciousness after hearing the last words, took his mother back.”
U M At that moment, the new model of Jeokcheongang stiffened. Finally, it seemed that I knew now.
What was Mungyeong trying to say? What foolish thoughts you have been preoccupied with.
‘The mother of Son of Man worries about her child even when she is abandoned, but the old woman tried to leave the child on her own.’ The enemy Cheonkang did not want to be a burden to Jin Taegyeong, his one and only disciple. That was all.

However, it was not a pure heart for the sake of his disciples, but the stubbornness and delusion of a proud old man who only thought of himself.
It reminded me of a conversation I had with Jin Tae-kyung lying side by side on a wide rock one day in an ordinary Mt. Guhwa.
‘You’re holding up better than I thought. Is your body made of iron?
‘I’m Iron Man.’
‘As a punishment for nonsense, an additional two hundred pounds of iron balls.’
‘… … ah.’
‘Ha ha ha! Just kidding. Strangely, I don’t feel bad because I’m used to your nonsense.’ ‘Okay. Please attach the iron ball later.’
‘A guy who makes me speak twice? Because this is a joke.’
‘I’m serious.’
‘hmm?’
‘If I go out, there will be people who are stronger than me, but I don’t want to be treated like a burden later on. First of all, the hanging iron ball is less heavy, so please raise it slightly.’
‘Look at this guy. Are you confident that you won’t be a burden later if you increase 200 jin?’ ‘It’s not like that, but I have to try at least as hard as I can. Then, if I collapse later, Noya will pick it up for me.’ ‘Now you’re talking about being a burden very proudly. All right, what will you do if the old lady does that?’ ‘If one day Noya collapses, then I will carry Noya on his back.’ ‘Huh, do you think the old lady is about to collapse?’ ‘If you’re tired, can’t you at least help me?
So if you’re having a hard time, tell me.’ ‘… … Let’s hear it, an arrogant guy added 500 pounds to the military iron ball.’ ‘Are you crazy, Human?’ It was just a conversation on a day without anything special.
However, Jeokcheongang often recalled the memory of that day.
Even now, at this very moment, the voice of Jin Tae-gyeong, which he had heard that day, resonated like an echo in his ears. .
‘If one day Noya collapses, then I will carry Noya on his back.’ She always thought I was in front of you and you were behind me.
That’s why I couldn’t fall even more.
‘If I’m tired, can I at least help you?’ I didn’t even want to see him stagger. Like all fathers in the world, I wanted to be invincible to you.
It was the same on one day when I was prepared to die and ran.
‘Hwasin Ghost… … That’s a cool name.’ You], what about you?’ ‘I should have smashed my head, for sure.’
‘Cool!’
Noya!’ But I wasn’t invincible.
I only found out later after waking up from a long sleep.
What kind of difficulties did the disciple overcome by carrying the fallen, ugly teacher on his back? How many times have I risked my precious life and struggled against it?
So I made up my mind. that I will never fall again
He said that he would not become a lump of burden that would endanger his pupil.
But no.
‘We were walking side by side. From the beginning to the present along one direction. Always together.’ A thought filled my brain.
And at that moment, the dark and humid memories of the past that welled up from the depths of the heart covered the Jeokcheongang’s eyes.
Whoa!
It was a lot of memories and emotions from the beggar boy struggling to pick up a dumpling.
anger and despair. Sorrow and guilt came over him like a wave and clamped down on Jeokcheongang’s entire body.
But why? Unlike usual, I didn’t feel any pain.
Every time I thought of the past, there was no chest that felt stuffy, and there was no headache that seemed like it would break.
‘This.’
The Jeokcheongang River suddenly felt a ray of cool wind blowing from somewhere in the midst of the peace it felt after a long time.
Along with the voices that are buried in between.
Oh cool.’ ‘Hmm. It is the best spot in Jiuhua Mountain that Nobu himself selected.’ ‘This rock is almost like a longevity stone bed? Five stars.’
‘Hehehe!’
warm A dazzling light penetrated.
The darkness that had been crouching deep in Jeokcheongang’s heart for decades was slowly dissipating.
simma.
It was the name of the darkness that one person had, and the chain that bound oneself.
And what drove it all was a cool breeze and someone’s voice that blew over Mt. Jiuhua on a clear day.
Whoa!
‘Noya.’
The light swallowed the darkness, the heart. I’m sure my eyes are closed, but the sky and the sky are dazzlingly bright.
A small smile appeared on the corner of the crinkled mouth of the sage.
OK.’ A wind blew from somewhere and her white hair swayed.
And it was neither an illusion nor an illusion.
Quaaaaaa!
Finally, the wind that flowed from the center of Jeokcheongang, the giant who broke his chains and stood up, swept everywhere.
