Episode 232 beggar and me
If we leave aside the open ark, which is one of the three great talents, Nosindo is also the fastest man in the open space.
I couldn’t catch up easily.
Moreover, running was more difficult because the weight of the open ark on my back was constantly changing.
But let some time pass.
The fussy Old God kept his mouth shut, and the open ark didn’t say anything.
I also had no choice but to focus on light work.
As time passed, the weight of the open ark fluctuated and changed, reminding me of the White Clothed Scholar’s Jeunjong.
‘hmm?’
This is because he also controlled the weight of his body by running with his upper body bent.
How on earth do you change your weight?
It may be impossible for ordinary people, but since he is a strong person, he naturally had no choice but to think about his internal skills.
Inevitably, I was also carrying an open ark, so I had no choice but to bend my upper body slightly. At one point, I was running while naturally supporting and resisting the weight of the ark.
When it became lighter, it jumped farther, and when it stepped on the ground due to the weight of the ark, it injected energy to overcome it and soared. So, due to the weight of the open ark, I was forced to perform a light attack similar to that of the Emperor Unzong.
After a while the ark opened its mouth.
“I guess you’ve gotten used to the weight now. Moonju, this is not an easy area because you have to learn it physically. Run until you get tired and engrave it on your body. It doesn’t matter if you’re exhausted. “Once your body remembers it, it will be easier to do it on your own next time.”
“All right.”
To be honest, when the open ark became heavy, it felt like I was carrying a large piece of metal on my back. In order to withstand that weight, I had to properly infuse my energy into my legs to withstand it.
The weight was so heavy that sweat was flowing from my whole body like it was raining, but not only I, but also Bangju and Noshin were serious, so I couldn’t say out loud that it was difficult.
So I ran without stopping for over two hours with a large piece of metal on my back.
Because Noshin was fast, I also ran at full speed. Already exhausted, I ran for two more hours, and the sun was already setting.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
I didn’t care where I was going now.
Now that I think about it, there was no need for a destination, whether I was running to the coast of Zhejiang or to a place I had never been to before.
This is because the goal of having legs of steel was more important than the destination. This practice deepened my understanding of Gyeonggong, so I was ready to run all night long if I could become faster than before.
I ran until the sun completely set and the surroundings became dark. Suddenly, when it was so dark that even running was difficult, I heard the voice of the ark.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“it’s okay.”
“You may be okay, but we are hungry. “Now let’s eat something.”
This is what the ark said to me, and the old god running in front answered.
“Yes, Master. Shall we go eat some noodles?”
“OK.”
After a while, Nosin stopped near a brightly lit downtown area, and the ark that was on his back finally came down.
I tried to react calmly, but as soon as the heavy burden was lifted from my back, I stumbled. Ark said as he grabbed my arm.
“… … You’re quite stubborn. “You did well.”
I nodded and took a breath.
Lu Xin said as he approached.
“Munjoo’s strength and stamina are not shallow. Looking at his endurance and speed, he has no rivals in his age group. “Are there any other achievements?”
Ark looked at me and nodded.
“It seems like I realized something.”
Noshin came up to me and tapped my shoulder.
“great job. It’s not easy to run like this while carrying Master on your back. My forehead is flooded. The trick of adding weight to the body is not limited to Gyeonggong. It’s necessary for both offense and defense. This itself can be a self-defense technique, or it can be a method of blowing away an enemy with a simple movement. “How is this possible?”
After interpreting Lu Xin’s words, I answered.
“Is it a combination of internal and external energy?”
Noshin looked at me and nodded.
“that’s right. There are a lot of people in Gangho who play separately in internal and external skills. These people also mistakenly believe that they are experts. Of course, there are many experts who can closely mix the two. But that’s not the end. When internal and external energy are perfectly harmonized inside the body, like your sun and moon, you can have explosive power that exceeds expectations. This is by no means shallow ignorance. There are limits to what others can teach you. “Remember this feeling well.”
“check.”
“I’m sweating profusely.”
I looked at Noshin, feeling white steam rise from my face and head. Come to think of it, Lu Xin didn’t have a single drop of sweat on her face.
I answered after wiping the sweat from my forehead with my hand.
“It’s because the weather is hot.”
“It’s not hot at all. Munju is hot alone. ha ha ha.”
Lu Xin led the way to the downtown area, and Ark and I followed. Since I was working with beggars, I suggested it first.
“I’ll buy it, so let’s go somewhere delicious.”
Noshin let out a bewildered laugh.
“Then did you try to get money from a beggar?”
Ark seemed to find it funny too, snorting and laughing.

I was about to serve a sumptuous feast, but what I ended up with was a shabby noodle restaurant. When I raised my right hand to order, Noshin lowered my hand.
“I only have noodles. What do you order? “There’s no alcohol here.”
“aha.”
Without any surprise, a moment later, a man with his sleeves rolled up inside placed a huge bowl of noodles on the table. She smiled softly without saying anything and then headed back to the kitchen. Looking at the shape of his forearms and back, he was an expert in external skills.
Noshin said.
“Master, please eat.”
“okay.”
The three of us put our chopsticks in the bowl and ate the noodles. Regardless of how it was made, not only the noodles but also the soup was refreshing. The noodles were three times the size of a typical noodle restaurant, and the soup was clear and had no taste. It tasted boring, like putting noodles in plain tea water, but it was refreshing and light, so the finish was very clean. I usually eat two to three bowls when I go to a noodle restaurant, but I was full even after eating just one bowl.
The three of us drank the soup neatly and then put down our dishes.
When I took out the wallet from my pocket, Noshin got up and went to the kitchen, and we chatted while handing over the money. There were a few bursts of laughter and then the man in the kitchen stuck his head out and said,

“Ark, please take a look.”
“okay.”
The owner looked at me and nodded slightly.
“Come again.”
I answered right away because it reminded me of noodles.
“I will come again.”
I went outside and asked Noh Shin.
“Are you an open person?”
“no. “He is a man who turned his back on Kang-ho.”
“Was he famous?”
Lu Xin asked the ark.
“Were you famous in some way?”
Ark nodded.
“It was like that at one time, but now no one is looking for it, so this is the life he wanted. Let’s leave it alone. The noodles are getting better and better. How was Munju?”
“I’ve never had noodles like this before.”
“In what way?”
“You usually add something to make the noodles taste better, but these noodles are flavored after removing everything that can be removed. “These are noodles made by retired Kang Ho-in.”
“It was delicious.”
We were having a conversation while passing over a bridge where many people were coming and going. Suddenly, halfway up the bridge, the open ark sank down with its back against the railing.
To anyone watching, it looked like a beggar was about to start begging on the bridge.
Lu Xin spoke to the ark.
“I will take a look around.”
“Come back.”
I sat next to the open ark and told Nosin the same thing.
“Go ahead.”
Sitting on the bridge with the commander-in-chief of the open air, I felt like a beggar full of hoyeonjigi.
The ark watched the people passing by the bridge.
I also didn’t have anything else to do, so I just watched people. It was a long-awaited break. The open ark seems not to be famous here either, as no one seemed to know anything about it.
Ark, who was watching the people, opened his mouth.
“Munju, I will inform you of the beginning of opening.”
“yes.”
“It’s very old. The stories told are different, but the overall story is the same. “A long time ago, there were beggars who survived by begging because they were sick. No matter how much people helped them and begged them, they always looked hungry and unwell.”
“hmm.”
“One day, a man who had been helping beggars a few times thought it was strange, so he looked at the unwell beggars and quietly followed them to see where they were going. Those physically challenged beggars even gave everything they had donated that day to someone. He wasn’t even a cripple, but he was making money by taking advantage of these beggars. Kang Ho-in, who figured it out, ended up beating to death the guy who was taking bribes from the beggars and then protecting the beggars. This person is an invitation-opening ark. No rules, no sect. Openness was born simply because of a man who showed interest in beggars. “This first ark said something.”
“What is it?”
“Human evil abounds even in the weak. The guy who beat him to death was an ordinary person who didn’t even know martial arts, but he was squeezing out the blood of those who were weaker than him. The first opening was not made by a beggar, but by a man trying to help beggars. “When this person looked around, he saw that he was not the only beggar suffering like this.”
“okay.”
“A man entered the world of beggars. In some places, people who learned martial arts were treating beggars like slaves. In another place, ordinary people were begging beggars by giving them leftover rice. It was a time when the laws were not perfect, so the first open ark traveled around the world and beat these guys to death. In the meantime, a disciple was made, and the disciple welcomed another disciple, and it became open.”
Open Ark Shingae said while looking at the ordinary people passing on the bridge.
“What happened in the open world is the same as what happens in the world. I think that the haomun you created is not much different from the beginning of our openness. This is why I went to see you. “The annihilation of the Demonic Cult forces only attracted attention.”
It was only then that I realized belatedly why the man called Samjae had come to visit me in person.
Suddenly the ark asked me.
“Moonju, how long have we been sitting here?”
“I guess it’ll take about 30 minutes.”
“No one is friendly to us. Usually, when I sit on the bridge, I get quite a few enemy attacks. Why?”
Only then did I remember the presence of the open ark that had appeared in Ilyanghyeon. So, strangely enough, I didn’t feel any presence.
Then, the reason why I am not receiving enemy ships on the bridge lies with me.
“Is it because I live there?”
The open ark nodded.
“I guess so. Your life, your eyes, your presence… … “They will think of me as a man who doesn’t need enemies.”
“Is this also a type of martial arts?”
“It is both a mindset and a way to hide prayers. To receive favor, you have to erase your presence. It’s a slightly different method from how the sprinkler hides his prayers. “You’ve been running all day and you’re in bad shape. Would you like to try begging?”
The leader of the beggars advised me to go begging.
“I will try.”
Open Ark stood up, walked to the opposite railing, sat down, and looked at me.
I pulled up my collar, pulled my knees up, wrapped my arms around them, and did my best to imitate a beggar. But even though I was angry again, no one took any action against me. On the other hand, even though the open ark, one of the world’s three greatest treasures, sits quietly on a bridge, people passing by often drop small iron coins or leave behind a few dumplings wrapped in cloth.
Every time the ark opened, it looked at the right person and smiled quietly without saying a word.
“… … .”
I gave up on begging and just stared at the open ark.
How can the world’s three greatest masters receive begging?
How can one sit on a bridge without any sense of presence? Why don’t people notice the existence of the open ark?
Beyond the crowd, the open ark smiled slightly every time he made eye contact with me.
“Jaha.”
“yes.”
“Isn’t it easy?”
I answered with a smile.
“It’s not easy.”
