Episode 65. Countercurrent 2014.04.15.
Phew.
Tang Yue’er’s beast that started rampaging was terrifying.
Like a tortured wild beast rampaging indiscriminately, the torrent that swept through Tang Yue’er’s inner self bared its teeth at Sun Bin.
‘Tsk.’
A destructive flow rushed towards Sonbin. It was that moment.
“What a reckless bastard!”
As soon as a harsh voice was heard, someone appeared behind Sonbin. Before he could guess the identity of the voice, two large hands were placed on Sonbin’s back.
“Get your mind straight! Otherwise, everyone will die!”
Ugh.
Hot heat poured in from the hand that touched my back. Just like when Lion Hyuk cheered me up in the snowy mountains.
Is it because I was pushed by that energy? Dang Yue-ah, who was rushing towards Son Bin, slowed down.
“Control your energy.”
The voice was surprisingly calm. A voice spoke quietly, as if whispering in Sonbin’s ear.
“You can do it.”
Phew.
A huge flow once again enveloped Sonbin. And Sonbin realized what she had to do.
‘Don’t be distracted by complex changes and flashy techniques.’
Ugh!
Son Bin’s victory over Hyeoncheon once again pulsated. And it began to flow arrogantly towards Sonbin’s fingertips.
Amidst the fierce flow of Tang Yue, roaring like a wild beast, as if there was nothing, and as naturally as it had originally been.
‘If you follow the big flow, everything opens naturally.’
Sonbin’s breathing was sinking deeply.
∴
Slurp.
The girl’s delicate body fell down on its side as if it were collapsing. And as if following her, Sonbin also knelt down on the ground.
“Whoa.”
Behind Sonbin, Namaknogun slowly catches his breath. There was silence for a moment, and then the harsh voice of the Namak Labor Army broke the silence.
“What a crazy guy. “What on earth are you doing!”
His voice was angry. But there was no momentum like before.
“I was wondering what I was going to do, but I was like, are you sane to do such a reckless thing? “If I hadn’t come, you would all have turned into a handful of eagles right here!”
Sonbin smiled bitterly at his genuinely angry voice.
“What does this child mean to you that you are willing to risk your life?”
“There is no relationship whatsoever.”
Sonbin said in a weak voice.
“what?”
“We don’t know each other. This was my first time meeting… … .”
She didn’t say anything that the delicate girl called herself a monster or that she referred to herself as a vicious poison blade. Because that would be extremely harsh on her.
“But why… … .”
“It’s the same as the old army.”
Sonbin said with a faint smile.
The sight of the Namak workers getting angry at him is even endearing to Son Bin, like watching a grandfather scolding his grandson.
“what?”
Noh frowns.
“Just as the old man found something in me that he missed, I also found something in Sojeo that touched my heart. So, I helped. “That’s it.”
The Namak Labor Army’s expression hardened slightly at Son Bin’s words.
“But that doesn’t mean I’ll risk my life.”
“You did it, right?”
Sonbin said while looking at Nohgun.
“The thing that energized me was something that could have put Roh’s life in danger. “Isn’t that right?”
At least Sonbin could know. The fact that the Namakno Army jumped in meant being swept away by the torrent of death.
If Sun Bin had not done it properly, it would not have been just Sun Bin and Tang Yue’er who were in danger.
“joy. “You can’t put Nobu in danger like that.”
Namaknogun turned his head and said. Sun Bin, who was looking at the scene with a smile, turned his head to face the fallen Tang Yue Ah.
“Would it be okay?”
“It’ll be okay.”
The Namaknogun continued speaking in a blunt voice.
“Because you properly controlled this child’s rampaging miasma.”
The Nanak Laogun saw Tang Yue’er lying down. It’s hard to believe that such a ferocious venom was flowing through such a delicate girl.
‘To endure that pain, this child is a terrible child.’
The Namaknogun frowned. It must have been a pain that felt like my heart was being broken. But this delicate girl endured the pain until the end.
“But where on earth did you learn how to control poison like that? “That is not something even someone who is well-versed in controlling poisons would dare to do.”
The vicious miasma that had been running rampant was now flowing naturally following her bet. As if they were one from the beginning.
“I saw it once.”
“You saw it?”
“yes. A man named Meng Hao from Sichuan wrote something called poison qigong. “At the time, I didn’t really know what that meant.”
Sonbin spoke quietly.
“Later, as I organized the records, I was able to get a rough idea of its meaning. Still, it was quite an adventure to succeed this time.”
“A poisonous energy ball?”
Namaknogun frowned and looked at Son Bin with a bored expression.
“yes.”
“Is that what saved this girl’s life? “A girl from Tangmun?”
“That’s right.”
Sonbin answered with a calm expression.
“under.”
Suddenly, Namaknogun burst into laughter. And that laugh soon exploded into laughter.
“Ahahaha! I can’t help but laugh at this. Are you saying you saw right through the peak poisonous energy that the fierce tiger was boasting about? With that, you can save the girl from Tangmun? Ha ha ha ha ha! Fierce tiger of Sichuan! Your cruelty and deep thoughts are all in vain. Your arrogance and arrogance were all in vain! Woohahaha, wohahahaha.”
The sound of Namaknogun’s laughter resonated throughout Mt. Hyeongsan.
Birds flew up in surprise, and frightened animals raised their cries here and there. However, the Namakno Army did not care at all.
“Good job.”
Namaknogun said as he placed his hand on Sonbin’s shoulder. His expression was truly relieved.
“He should have lived to see this. He was probably quite a sight to behold. But, well, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Sonbin couldn’t understand what he was saying. I can only guess that perhaps something happened between the Namaknogun and the fierce tiger of Sichuan.
“I’ll buy you a drink later.”
“If it’s alcohol, I should buy it.”
Sonbin said.
“You saved my life, so how can one drink be enough?”
“You speak really cutely.”
Namaknogun quietly laughed.
“okay. Let’s drink it all night later. “Today is the happiest day in my life.”
The blue moonlight was quietly falling on his shoulder as he smiled quietly.
* * *
Tang Yue’er did not easily regain consciousness. But she looked so relaxed that it looked as if she was asleep rather than unconscious.
Sonbin laid her down in a comfortable place, covered her with a blanket, and then covered her face with cotton thread.
Eun Cho-bin and Jang Pyo-du were surprised to hear that she had lost consciousness, but were soon relieved when Namaknogun said she was okay. And just as Namaknogun said, she came to her senses the next morning.
Pyororong, tweet.
Tang Yue’er closed her eyes and thought quietly as the unusually clear sound of birds flowed into her ears.
‘Pretty sound… … . ‘What kind of bird is that?’
Tang Yue opened his eyes. The blue sky shining through her swaying leaves welcomes her.
A truly chillingly clear and blue sky. It was as if I had seen such a clear sky for the first time in my life. Tang Yue’er, who had been blinking quietly, slowly stood up.
Sarah.
The blanket and white cotton thread that were covering the chest are flowing down.
‘This place… … .’
Somehow I feel unfamiliar. But it wasn’t unpleasant. No, it was actually refreshing.
-Are you awake?
A harsh voice echoed from somewhere, breaking her light mood. A message carrying a bet. In an instant, tension runs through her entire body.
Tang Yue’er quickly picked up the cotton thread and looked around at the same time.
-hmm. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything strange about it.
Tang Yue’er carefully looked around with sharp eyes, but there was no one in sight.
“Who are you?”
He spoke in a low voice as if muttering. But the other person heard her voice.
-grow. Talking to you doesn’t feel that good to me either, so I don’t have to show it like that.
Only then did Tang Yue’er realize that the owner of the voice was the Nanak Laojun.
-It’s finally coming.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
With the sound of light footsteps, someone approached Tang Yue’er.
“Are you awake?”
A familiar voice. When she turned her head, Sonbin was standing there. A slight feeling of relief washed over her.
“How do you feel? “Are you feeling okay?”
At his words, memories of last night came flooding back to her.
When I remember the scene where his hand touched my head, my face instantly turns red, and a thought passes by that I am glad I was wearing a cotton thread.
“Ah yes… … .”
‘Come to think of it.’
This is my first time sleeping so deeply. And waking up without any pain like this.
“I am… … how… … .”
-hole. Don’t you remember what he did to you yesterday?
The voice of the Namaknogun spoke.
– Try moving your bet.
‘bet.’
At his words, Tang Yue’er calmly caught her breath. And she was shocked by the unbelievable fact.
‘Uh, how can I bet… … .’
The bet was moving.
The fierce energy that was always destroying his inner self like a wild beast, the poison that was barely holding back as it cut through his life, was flowing like a quietly flowing river.
– Think about it. How did he control your anger yesterday? What was the flow like?
‘flow.’
In the midst of the pain that made her feel like she was going to lose her mind, Tang Yue-ah remembered that there was an energy like a refreshing stream flowing inside her.
And when that energy flowed through his entire body, soothing the fierce poison and showing him the path he should take, only then did the ferocious beast become quiet.
Sarah.
Tang Yue’er raised one hand. And he remembered the flow and slowly moved his energy.
yes.
It was just a very small change. But that was enough.
Her fingertips began to turn a transparent jade color according to her will.
“Sozer.”
Suddenly, Sonbin’s worried voice wakes her up. When she raises her head, Sonbin’s eyes are full of concern as he looks at her.
-Did I say there was nothing I could give you?
The voice of the Namaknogun was heard along with a light laugh.
-But there will be a lot to pay back. Hehehehe.
“Are you okay?”
Sonbin asks again.
“I-I…” … .”
But Tang Yue’er couldn’t continue speaking. Tears began to form in her eyes as she looked at Sonbin, and Sonbin was embarrassed with a helpless expression.
* * *
Rustle.
“omg! What, what! “Who is there?”
Someone’s surprised voice was heard from behind. The leader of Sodomun frowned.
“Someone go and shut that son of a bitch up.”
He spoke in a low, yet annoyed voice.
“And next time, don’t bring that guy out.”
“sorry.”
The subordinate next to me spoke quietly and stepped back. The voices that were making a fuss soon quieted down. And then the subordinate appeared again and said:
“It was nothing. Probably the sound of a wild animal… … .”
“know.”
The leader of Sodomun said bluntly.
“It’s probably nothing. “In this situation, who would dare to make the first move?”
He stared ahead with sharp eyes. At first glance, the hem of clothes is visible through the bushes. He said he had some faction encamped there somewhere. It’s not just there.
“It’s more crowded than that street. damn.”
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was a direct expression of his feelings. If you walk a few steps, you can immediately encounter a person holding a knife.
It made me wonder if all the knife-wielding people from Gangnam’s Murim had flocked to Namak. So, it goes without saying that there is wariness and tension between them.
Rustle.
The popularity rumor I heard this time was real. As the subordinate placed his hand on the sword, a low voice was heard first.
“I’m home.”
The leader’s eyes sparkle at the familiar voice. Soon after, another subordinate appeared through the bushes.
“what?”
The leader asked bluntly. Suha also answered right away.
“I will do it. “We decided to split the distribution ratio in half and take care of all other issues.”
The leader’s expression relaxed a little at the sound of his voice.
“Thank goodness. Okay, is there any other information?”
“It seems like they have signed alliance agreements with about three clans. However, it seems that there is a double sword faction among them. “He asked vaguely if it would be okay.”
“Dual swords faction?”
Another subordinate listening next to me frowns. The Ssanggeom faction is a faction that is in conflict with Sodomun at every turn.
“If you join forces with those guys, won’t it cause problems later?”
“problem? “What’s the problem?”
The leader said mockingly.
“Right now, it’s a situation where no one has an answer. It is obvious that no matter who eats the food, a fierce battle will break out. So, we must form an alliance, even if it is only through superficial words. And it’s not we who joined hands with the Ssanggeumpa bastards. There is no need to worry about the coalition partner across the bridge. No, it would be better if you let down your guard there. “If the right opportunity comes, I take it right away.”
Suha smiled bitterly.
“okay. “I hope that the right opportunity comes.”
“Okay, so you’ve made a pact with the five clans?”
“Five. This is the first time we have decided to cooperate with so many clans. “Wouldn’t something like a real union be created in this way?”
The leader chuckled at those words.
“Union? Do you know why the political sects so freely look down on us, calling us a sect? We can’t get together. Even now, they are thinking about stabbing each other, but who would join the alliance? “I don’t know if we get eaten, but it’s a dream to create something like an alliance or an alliance like the political factions.”
Suha nodded at the leader’s words.
“Well, they said the political factions have already banded together.”
“I guess so. By the way, So Eun Pyo-guk, when are these guys coming? If they said five days later, shouldn’t you come quickly? “Today is already the sixth day.”
“I don’t know when it is five days. Well, anyway, if the rumors are true, it looks like it will arrive within today or tomorrow… … .”
The reason his words were interrupted was because the surroundings suddenly became commotion. Other clans that were at least pretending to hide themselves began to move in a hurry.
Crispy.
“Captain! “We’re in big trouble!”
One of the subordinates who had been on guard hurriedly ran over.
“So Eun Pyo Guk has appeared!”
“what? “This is a street corner. Where on earth did you come from?”
“Well, it looks like it came down from Hyeongsan Mountain. I heard there was some commotion there right now… … .”
“Holy shit.”
The leader suddenly stood up, swearing.
“Everyone move! “If you go late, there’s no soup!”
Sodomun quickly got up and started running towards Hyeongsan Mountain. I didn’t care about what other clans thought.
Tangmun’s treasure, which they had been waiting for for several days, finally appeared in front of them. Greed suddenly began to dominate everyone’s hearts.
