Episode 82 The reason why charlatans are strong
“You’re not even sick, but you keep coming and bothering the teacher.”
Strangely enough, every time I saw Moyongbaek, it felt like it had been a long time since I had seen him. I don’t know why.
Mo Yongbaek said while examining my expression.
“You are welcome to come anytime. “Have you been waiting long?”
Actually, I waited for half an inspection, but I gave a rough answer.
“I waited about half an hour.”
Mo Yong-baek continued speaking while feeling my pulse as if it were a set procedure.
“… … “Anyway, Lord Moon, you seem to get stronger every time I see you.”
I smiled because it was a compliment that was not easy to hear.
“I’m trying to live like that.”
Mo Yong said as he took his hand away.
“There are no special problems. “As I did before, I’m more curious about Moonju’s mind than his body.”
Mo Yongbaek stared at my expression and eyes. Among the recent events, I brought up something related to fireworks.
“When I look at the flames surrounding me during a fight, I feel lost for a moment. “If I had not been careful, I would have burned to death.”
Mo Yongbaek responded with a faint smile.
“Why is that so? I am not a fortune teller. “I think Lord Moon knows the cause to some extent.”
I tried to find the cause and ranted as much as I could.
“I had a guesthouse with my name on it, but it burned down. Feeling at a loss? “I didn’t know it at the time, but I guess I didn’t expect an easy life the moment my home disappeared.”
“Why?”
“Because they knew my personality even before I was burned.”
Mo Yongbaek responded with a calm expression.
“Does that kind of personality get in the way of learning martial arts?”
“Not really.”
Mo Yongbaek, who was worried, asked me a question.
“How would you feel if you met an opponent much stronger than Lord Mun? “I don’t know if you’ve met him.”
I know very well how Mo Yongbaek feels when he asks.
“I think I’ll go crazy if I meet a strong person.”
“Why?”
I looked at Mo Yongbai with a serious expression.
“Because you have to be crazy to win. “If you are less skilled than your opponent, you can only win by persevering with madness.”
“You mentioned holding on. Please explain that part further.”
“Everyone experiences pain when fighting. To win, you have to endure the pain, and at some point you feel like you’ve crossed the line. I should faint but I don’t, I should faint but I don’t. “Somewhere nearby, something called madness waits and pops out.”
“Aren’t you afraid? Defeat or death.”
“I’m not afraid of defeat. Because I have lost a lot since I was young. “Thanks to you, I have continued to become stronger.”
“What about death?”
I remembered the time when I was trapped in Cheonnajimang. It also came to mind when I was mercilessly beaten by Gwangseung. Even in the midst of numerous defeats and failures, there was no fear of death. Perhaps he had been prepared to die since the first time Jahagaekjan was burned.
“You don’t think when you fight.”
Mo Yongbaek responded with an embarrassed expression.
“Then, sometimes losing your mind while looking at the flames is not fear, but rather an awareness or concern about madness.”
“recognize?”
“If you want to beat the world’s strong men, doesn’t that mean that you have to be crazy to have a chance of winning, according to Lord Moon’s way of thinking?”
“exactly.”
“If you regret the attitude you had when you were looking at the flames surrounding the guest cup, you might become ecstatic. Is it the right choice to live like a crazy person, risking death like this? Or should I have a different mindset? In some ways, isn’t the topic of Moonju’s life coming to mind every time he looks at the fireworks?”
“What if you decide that?”
“Would the decision be easy? “Because I don’t know how far Master Moon is trying to become stronger.”
“I am the best in the world.”
Suddenly, Mo Yongbaek knocked on the table.
“When will that dream come true?”
“I don’t know.”
“That’s right. You know it well. If it happens ten years from now, it would actually be better to do nothing from now on and just practice face-to-face training to build up your inner energy for nine years. “Is that really true?”
“I don’t plan on doing that.”
“Why?”
“Wouldn’t it be so vain? You have to drink, sing, dance, and fight with other guys. “There is a lot of work to do.”
“Then I have no choice but to live faithfully every day again. If you live like that, someone will become the best in the world. That’s also if you survive. Everyone’s heart has a cunning side. To correct this, Lord Mun’s dream is not to become the best in the world.”
“then?”
“Drinking, singing, dancing, and becoming the best in the world would be a dream more suited to Lord Mun’s heart.”
I found Mo Yongbaek’s words interesting and laughed out loud.
“Ah, is that so?”
I calmly looked into my heart and answered.
“It feels like something has been half resolved.”
Mo Yongbaek said.
“This is my personal opinion. How about trying to make that madness appear only when it meets a strong person? On a daily basis, it is not a bad idea to practice calming your mind. It’s about separating your mindset from when you fight.”
Mo Yongbaek knew a lot about my psychological state even though we had only met for a short time. Maybe it was because Mo Yong-baek was also a completely crazy person during his time as a poison horse. If you were to draw a picture of Mo Yong-baek’s heart, there would be the word ‘Gwang’ curled up somewhere in the corner.
asked Mo Yongbaek.
“Have you ever felt like you were going crazy?”
“Why not?”
Mo Yongbaek responded with a confused expression.

“I often get upset when I see the attitude of the person I saved in difficult times change just because they are cured. “Every time that happens, I feel so sick that I have to lie down for a few days.”
I nodded.
“I understand.”
Mo Yongbaek understands me, and I understand the poisonous horse Mo Yongbaek.
Clearly this guy was crazy about it.
We confessed our weaknesses to each other and then laughed together.
“Teacher Mo Yong, I have something to ask you. “At first glance, you might think it’s a light question, but I’m asking it with a serious heart.”
“Yes, I will think about it carefully before answering.”
“What do you think about charlatans?”
Even during the Gwangma and Dokma days, we never talked about charlatans. Therefore, what Mo Yongbaek says from now on is my first time hearing this opinion.
Mo Yongbaek thought about it carefully and answered.
“Aren’t charlatans fools?”
“Are you stupid?”
“If we call a person who cannot take care of his/her share a fool, then in a larger sense we can call a charlatan a fool as well.”
“I will continue to listen.”
“People who risk their lives for what is right are usually called charlatans, and there is nothing in the world more precious than one’s own life. “He is a person who throws away the most precious things to make up his mind, so he can be said to be the biggest fool among fools.”
“So you’re strong?”
It was a stupid question, but Mo Yongbaek answered smartly.
“Is there anyone stronger than him, not just in terms of martial arts, but as a human being itself? Cheaters are rare now and then. A person who catches a criminal may be a nobleman, but a true thief is not one who is strong in martial arts, but one who is strong as a person.”
These were the opinions of a reincarnated poison demon about a charlatan, these were impressive words.
“A senior I know said that a charlatan is stronger than any other expert, but I don’t understand this.”
“If we are not talking about individual fighting skills, but rather the influence of people, then of course a charlatan is stronger than a strong expert. Lord Mun, do you suspect that this is some kind of martial arts training methodology?”
“That’s all I have in my head.”
Mo Yongbaek suddenly said something unexpected.
“Try it yourself.”
“What?”
“A charlatan. Even if it doesn’t necessarily mean risking one’s life, any powerful man can actually do something that could be called a charlatan. Moreover, Lord Moon is the strongest person I know, so why can’t I do it?”
I laughed and laughed self-deprecatingly.
“A guy like me is a charlatan?”
“How could the charlatans of the past become charlatans after considering their situation, status, origin, and wealth? “He must have been a charlatan because he was a man who didn’t question anything.”
“Can a teacher also become a charlatan?”
“I have already decided on a career as a legislator. Come to think of it, the famous founders of factions in Gangho were often called charlatans when they were young. Isn’t that right? If you look at his biography or biography, you will see that he was called a charlatan when he was young, but when he got old, he retired to the mountains, raised his successors, and later became the founder of a faction. This is a story I’ve heard many times. “After saying this, I feel like the saying that a charlatan is strong is different.”
I nodded and felt something relieved.
Mo Yongbaek, who was looking at my expression, asked as if he was curious.
“Have you decided?”
“I have decided.”
“I’m curious, so please tell me.”
I said while crossing my arms.
“I don’t plan on becoming a charlatan. “It doesn’t suit my nature.”
Mo Yongbaek laughed as if this was an unexpected answer. I expressed my intention to Mo Yongbaek.
“But if I find someone with the right intentions and upright heart, I will support them. “I can teach you martial arts, and I can also provide full material support.”
Any amount of money is possible because they are gradually taking the money by giving it away.
“If I support him in both material and spiritual ways and that person can become a great charlatan, my curiosity will be answered in the future.”
“Why don’t you do it yourself?”
I grinned.
“I am a much worse person than you think, so I am suited to being a villain. There are still too many people to kill. I need to kill the monstrous Great Demon Heads in advance so that my disciple with the qualities of a charlatan doesn’t get beaten to death by someone later. Then it will be a little easier for the foolish disciple to do his job as a charlatan.”
Mo Yongbaek burst out laughing.
“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”
I also laughed along with Mo Yongbaek. Mo Yongbai took a deep breath and nodded his head.
“For some reason, I feel a little relieved. Then, I will also support Master Moon and his future disciples in my own way. “If I do that, I will be helping, even in a small way, to bring a foolish charlatan into this harsh world.”
“Will you do that?”
“I’ll be happy to do it.”
I looked into Mo Yongbaek’s eyes and nodded.
“Let’s do it. I will always look for upright people. In order to raise a strong knight, I need to become strong first, so let’s prepare every day, with me using martial arts and the teacher using medicine. “Let’s create the strongest fool in the world.”
Mo Yongbaek smiled and responded.
“Lord Moon, you are not a fool, but a charlatan.”
“Now that I think about it, it would be difficult for a smart guy who is good at considering things to become a charlatan.”
“It seems like the same thing continues between fools and charlatans.”
Mo Yongbaek asked cautiously.
“Now what happened to the flame that Lord Mun mentioned? Is it still burning dangerously in your heart?”
“It’s burning, but it’s not dangerous. Because it will drive my enemies crazy.”
I got up to go back to the black cat room.
“Sir, aren’t there a shortage of medical maids?”
“Medicine women also have different skills, so there are times when it is disappointing in different ways.”
“There are women called Black and White Soso staying in the Black Cat Room. Since all they have learned is how to bewitch men, their subordinates are bewitched even without doing anything special. If you are willing to teach me how to become a female doctor, I would like to arrange an interview. “I’ve learned a lot of martial arts, so I’ll be able to serve as a guard.”
Mo Yongbaek answered honestly.
“If you do a good job, I’ll keep you here, but if I can’t handle it, I’ll kick you out to the Black Cat Room. “If Master Moon gives it back then, I will meet him again.”
“Let’s do that.”
“Take a look. Lord Moon.”
After saying goodbye, we left Moyongui Street and headed to the Black Cat Room. As I was returning to my walk, the conversation I had with Mo Yongbaek, the poisonous horse from my previous life, became increasingly blurry, and the memory was being replaced by the conversation I had with Mo Yongbaek, the god.
What is this feeling?
As memories faded, other memories were accumulating.
I solved my curiosity about the charlatan theory written in the author’s booklet using my own way of thinking.
All I have to do is make the charlatan stronger.
The man who turns his disciple into the strongest charlatan in the river is Hao Wenju.
