Episode 22. Family succession2013.11.16.
Flash.
Sonbin closed his eyes and opened them.
‘Ah, as expected.’
I didn’t see it either.
‘It seems like something passed by in a flash… … .’
Actually, it’s just a feeling. Just a vague feeling as if something had passed like a fantasy. Sonbin glanced back and examined the snow sword.
She too had her eyes wide open and a puzzled expression on her face. She looks as if she cannot believe the sight before her eyes.
“How, no, when… … .”
Seolgeom muttered that unconsciously. Hearing those words, Sonbin breathed an inward sigh of relief. He wasn’t the only one who couldn’t see it.
‘As expected, it’s normal not to be able to see.’
It’s normal. I don’t know what level Seolgeom is, but he’s at least better than Sonbin. Sonbin looked up with a somewhat comfortable feeling.
Slurp.
The middle-aged man fell forward helplessly. The hoa was still in his hand, but all he was holding was the handle.
The metal that made up Hoa’s sword body was falling into numerous fragments and falling around them. Like countless sparkling snowflakes.
Wow.
Standing under the falling metal fragments, Sajahyeok looked down at the man who collapsed in front of him.
No emotion or feeling could be found in those eyes. Only deep, deep eyes are looking at the languid man.
How long did he stand like that? Sajahyeok suddenly spoke.
“let’s go.”
Sonbin came to his senses at the sound of that voice. Looking down at the booklet in her hand, she saw that her own brush had stopped a long time ago.
widely.
Sonbin closed the booklet. He was already fed, so there was no need to wait. She glanced to the side and saw that she was still motionless.
Thinking that it was probably because of shock, Sonbin walked slowly. No, he tried to move.
“for a moment.”
A woman’s voice stopped the two people. Sajahyeok and Sonbin stopped and looked at Seolgeom.
And Sonbin discovered that a sharp dagger was shining before his eyes. Seolgeom was aiming his dagger at Sonbin.
“What are you doing?”
It was Sahyeok who spoke. His eyes shone menacingly, but Seolgeom did not waver. She spoke to Sajahyuk in a calm voice.
“This person is in danger right now.”
Seolgeom turned his head towards Sonbin.
“If you leave like this, you will melt into a handful of blood in less than an hour.”
Seolgeom’s eyes were serious as he spoke. Sajahyuk chuckled.
“If that guy was playing a prank on him… … .”
‘A joke?’
Sonbin suddenly remembered that the middle-aged man had tapped his shoulder. Maybe he did something then.
“The pill in this person’s arms could save his life.”
Seolgeom said.
“But it will only be your life. There may be lifelong aftereffects. In severe cases, you may lose the use of at least one arm.”
It was a calm explanation, but Sonbin’s expression could not help but harden. Her eyes turned to Sonbin again.
“If it were me, I could decipher it now. perfectly.”
Sajahyeok said.
“What do you want?”
“two.”
Seolgeom said.
“First, I want to receive my grandfather’s body. Formally from you.”
Sajahyuk frowned. Even Sonbin couldn’t understand. If it’s a man’s body lying there like that, what does it mean to be officially handed over again?
“second is?”
“My name is Dang Hwa-ryeon. “Snow sword, danghwaryeon.”
She said.
“Try to remember my name. I… … .”
Wow.
Dang Hwa-ryeon’s eyes shone sharply.
“Because I will avenge my grandfather.”
“I get it.”
Sajahyeok said.
“But I won’t wait long. And finding me will be a lot harder than you think.”
“It won’t take long.”
Danghwaryeon said. She looked back at her son Bin, her sharp eyes shining.
“And it won’t be difficult. “I just need to find you.”
“Hey, I… … .”
“Quiet.”
With his dagger pointed at Son Bin’s neck, Seolgeom and Danghwaryeon spoke.
“This is a very sophisticated and dangerous task. So shut up and be quiet. and.”
A smile crossed her red lips.
“It’s going to hurt quite a bit.”
cook.
Without any warning, her dagger pierced Sonbin’s shoulder.
– evil!
Sonbin shouted. But no sound came out.
Almost at the same time as he was stabbing his shoulder, the white fingers of Seolgeom passed through Sunbin’s body and lightly tapped here and there, and from that moment on, he couldn’t move his body.
dump.
Sonbin fell like a piece of wood, and Seolgeom lightly picked him up and laid him on the floor. And started doing something.
– Well, what are you doing… … .
No words came out. Not only can he not lift a finger, let alone speak, but he can’t even turn his head. Since you can’t see your own shoulder, you can’t tell what Seolgeom is doing.
Crackling.
I hear the sound of something burning, and the pungent smell of medicine fills my nose. But surprisingly, it didn’t hurt at all.
‘what? Now that I think about it, it doesn’t hurt?’
There was no pain at the place where the dagger was stabbed. No, there is no feeling at all. She thought the reason she screamed was because she was just startled.
‘Whew. Well, anyway… … .’
Sajahyuk is watching. Sonbin decided that it would be better to relax and wait for it to end. Because there’s nothing else you can do.
‘What is this?’
Sonbin clicked his tongue. Although his tongue did not move.
“done.”
While Sonbin was unintentionally seriously considering the structure of the roof of the pavilion and the date of its manufacture, Danghwaryeon’s voice was suddenly heard. And suddenly all sensation in her body returned to normal.
“Ugh.”
Sonbin, who reflexively got up, frowned. Because she felt intense pain in her right shoulder.
“I said it would be quite painful, right?”
Sonbin’s shoulders were wrapped in a clean silk cloth. I wanted to check her wounds, but she wasn’t given time to do so. Moreover, her pain somehow seemed to be getting worse.
“There is no way. “Just endure it.”
Danghwaryeon said. She tapped Sonbin’s shoulder with her slender finger.
“Aya!”
Sonbin quickly avoided his shoulder. Every time she touches her, her shoulder throbs like she’s been hit with a hammer.
“Look! It hurts… … .”
“Tsk, are your nerves okay?”
There was a thin smile on the corner of Dang Hwa-ryeon’s mouth. Her smile somehow seemed so natural and sincere that Sonbin felt a shiver run down her spine.
“Anyway, mark my words. You shouldn’t take other medicine just because you’re sick. Endure unconditionally. Understand? “It’s too bad the pain will go away in about three days.”
‘Are you saying it’s too bad I’ve been sick for three days? “Are you saying it’s too bad it’s only for three days?”
Sonbin thought it was probably the latter.
“Okay then.”
Sarah.
Danghwaryeon stood up.
“I will receive my grandfather’s body.”
She looked straight at Sajahyeok and said. Her eyes were serious and intense.
“Take it.”
Sajahyeok said. His words were short and blunt.
“It’s unpleasant to go along with your foolish antics, but about his detoxification.”
After glancing at Sonbin, Sajahyuk spoke.
“Thank you.”
“I am Danghwaryeon.”
Tang Hwa-ryeon straightened her back and held her head upright, looking straight at Sa-hyeok.
“I acquired all rights to my grandfather’s body from you. And I solemnly accept all responsibility for it.”
She said that as if making a declaration.
“I won’t thank you. never.”
Sonbin tilted his head. It feels like I am watching some kind of official ceremony.
“Hmph, don’t you know what it is?”
Dang Hwa-ryeon, who must have realized Son Bin’s inner thoughts, laughed at Son Bin.
“Write it down well. Now I… … .”
Danghwaryeon said.
“Because I’m inheriting the family.”
‘what?’
Swish.
While Son Bin was confused, Dang Hwa-ryeon turned and went down the pavilion.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Sajahyeok approached Sonbin, who was tilting his head while looking at the back of Danghwaryun.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. It hurts a little, but… … .”
Sonbin smiled bitterly.
“But what does it mean to be carrying on the family line?”
“The fierce tigers of Sichuan are suspicious and wary.”
Sajahyeok said in a low voice while looking at the middle-aged man’s body.
“He trusts only himself and does not share power with anyone. Therefore, he only carried in his arms those items that could alone determine the fate of the family or the family’s sacred items that could have great influence. So much so that he himself boasts that he is a walking family.”
Sonbin looked at Danghwaryeon again. She was on her knees in front of the body of her middle-aged man, carefully collecting his belongings.
“It is no exaggeration to say that she is carrying on the family line.”
Sonbin stuck out his tongue inwardly. He thought he was just receiving his grandfather’s body, but he had no idea there would be such a calculation.
“But then, wouldn’t it have been okay if we cleaned things up after we left?”
“That is the pride of a famous family.”
Sajahyeok said.
“And it is also a cause and legitimacy. She paid a fair price and had her body and belongings recovered. And she declared her revenge as a natural responsibility. With this, those who know me among the branches of her family, although of course only a small portion, will recognize and support her legitimacy. And that is enough.”
Sajahyuk’s eyes were deeply sunken.
“Now she is the one holding the sword hilt.”
‘is it… … .’
Sonbin somehow had a bitter taste in his mouth.
“let’s go.”
Sajahyeok said. Sonbin nodded and took his brush and ink. As Sonbin left the pavilion following Sajahyeok, Dang Hwa-ryeon slowly stood up.
Sarah.
“for a moment.”
Danghwaryeon said. It was a quiet, calm, low voice.
“you… … Are you really okay?”
The person her eyes were focused on was Sajahyeok. Sonbin looked at Sajahyuk, and Sajahyuk answered.
“Okay.”
Dang Hwa-ryeon bit her lip.
“I can’t believe it… … “There is none.”
“That’s your problem.”
With that answer, Sajahyuk turned around. Dang Hwa-ryeon’s eyes were shaking as she looked at his back.
‘My grandfather used Cheonhyangru again. Probably during the final clash.’
I haven’t seen it, so I can’t be sure. He didn’t even know before collecting the body.
However, traces of Cheonhyangnu’s use remained. I could also tell that it was successful. The other person’s blood on Cheonhyangru revealed that.
‘Still, are you okay?’
He is even walking on his own feet. right before her eyes.
‘You even detoxified Cheonhyangru and you’re immune? That can never happen.’
Then he is not a person. But now Sajahyeok is walking safely before her eyes. That ordinary back looked so overwhelming and huge to Tang Hualian.
‘No words… … no.’
This is ridiculous. The very idea of confronting someone like that. If even Tianxiangru is of no use, what can we do against him?
Let alone standing in front of Sajahyeok, I was starting to lose confidence in even looking for him.
Nod.
At that moment, Sonbin’s appearance came into view. The moment she saw him awkwardly bowing to her and leaving, Dang Hwa-ryeon’s instinctive senses were stirred.
“you.”
Danghwaryeon called Sonbin. Sonbin looks back with a puzzled expression. Tang Hualian’s thoughts were short, and her actions were quick.
“receive.”
Swish.
Sonbin caught something flying in front of him without hesitation.
widely.
That was the handle of the sword. Although the blade part was no longer left, it was a rather luxurious handle decorated with colorful gems.
Sonbin knew what this was. It was the remnants of the middle-aged man’s sword, Hoa.
“Why is this… … .”
Sonbin frowns. Danghwaryeon gave a light mockery.
“I’ll lend it to you. “If you have it, it will ease your pain a little.”
Dang Hwa-ryeon said while looking at Son Bin’s puzzled expression.
“And, I’m going to go find it. So me… … .”
It was also a promise to the party itself.
“Be sure to remember this.”
Finding him means finding Sajahyeok and not giving up on revenge.
‘certainly.’
Dang Hwa-ryeon bit her lip and repeated this to herself.
“Hey, I think there’s a misunderstanding… … .”
Swish.
Without paying attention to Son Bin’s words, Dang Hwa-ryun turned around. Sonbin frowned.
‘this.’
I want to explain, but in this situation, no matter what I say, it won’t work. Sonbin looked back at Sajahyuk. If the person is responsible, isn’t it actually Sajahyeok?
“Okay.”
Sajahyeok said.
“If she comes to visit, just tell her where I am. “By then, you will probably know.”
‘hmm.’
Sonbin made a disapproving expression. I feel like I’m taking on someone else’s debt, so I feel frustrated, and I don’t want to have anything to do with it if possible. Actually, it doesn’t matter, does it?
“Sozer.”
Sonbin said in a serious voice.
“It’s no use.”
Tang Hualian said without even turning his head.
“Are you going to say that you have nothing to do with it, that you are just watching and recording?”
She slowly turned her head. She then spoke to Sonbin with her sneer rising.
“But you are already part of what happened here.”
Dang Hwa-ryeon looked directly at Son Bin and said.
“It will be a hundred years before we find something like an objective and neutral observer.”
Hiding behind the faint smile was sharp hostility. Sonbin said, looking straight into those eyes that seemed like they would cut.
“As expected, Sojeo’s eyes are very intense and impressive.”
The voice was calm and calm. Dang Hwa-ryeon’s eyes turned into a mystery.
“But please make sure you are not wrong about what you should see.”
“don’t worry. Because I clearly know the target of revenge. But like I said, you too… … .”
“no.”
Sonbin shook his head.
“It means don’t be wrong about what’s really important in your life. And what the true target of revenge should be… … .”
At a glance, Sonbin saw the body of a middle-aged man. Apparently, he was killed by Sajahyeok. But can that really justify revenge?
“If you are Sojeo, you will know.”
Sincerely, Sonbin said.
