Surviving as a Cripple in Murim - Surviving as a Cripple in Murim chapter 53

53 – Regret, Exhaustion, Awakening (1)

“Only… cloth… wake up… Ten thousand.”

I slowly open my eyes to the sound of someone calling my name over and over again.

You can see ahead even though it is dark everywhere. The feeling of being buried in warm mud. There is no hindrance to breathing.

A dark space with no end in sight. I remember.

It was an image world that I entered after being beaten to the stomach by Mr. Mukgang in the past.

It seems like it was just yesterday that I cried like a lily at that time, but it has already been a year. I feel like time goes by so fast.

Anyway, let’s get up and look at the front at the thick yet cool voice that keeps calling me.

“Have you come to your senses? Then get your posture now, and get ready to start eating.”

Standing there was an old man wearing a black coat and wearing sunglasses.

“Hey… Who is your uncle?”

Since there is no memory of raising such a dull man in the image world, let’s ask his identity in a wary voice. The unidentified man smiled bitterly and slowly lifted the staff he was holding in his hand.

“It’s the first time we’ve met like this, but I can’t recognize my partner. A little sad.”

The moment I was about to tell him not to talk bullsh*t about the sudden declaration of a partner, the man’s cane caught my eye.

A staff that looks exactly like the one in my hand. No, it was exactly the same staff.

A chilling sensation runs up your spine.

“You… no way?”

Normally, this would be ridiculous, but nothing is impossible here in the world of imagination. And at my uneasy question, the man wedged himself in with a satisfied smile.

“Yes, I am the spirit of the baton, Tagu-chan. I am your partner.”

I slammed the cane on the floor with all my might.

Cudangtang-!

“Ah?! Partner! What is this?!”

“If I had learned the swordsmanship, a beautiful girl from Ego Sword would have appeared… I just learned how to stick.”

If you have learned Changgung Muae Sword (蒼穹無涯劍法) or Twenty-Four Hands Plum Blossom Sword (二十四手梅花劍法), you can enjoy a light novel while sharing mental sympathy with the Ego Sword pretty girl who calls you “Master!” With a cute voice. I would have taken

When I go later, I just change into a real pretty girl, hold hands, and go on dates while saying, “Isn’t it because you want more than swordsmanship?”

“Haa….”

A sigh comes out by itself. And at the sound of my sighs, Tagu-chan sighed and picked up the cane that had fallen on the ground and forcibly handed it to me.

“Partner, put those f*cking delusions on later and get back on track. I’ll tell you the ultimate move.”

“… Special move? But Master told me not to use the batting stick method because it is dangerous.”

Yes. It is a martial art that strikes a dog while swinging a cane Bungzibungzi, so it is a baton method that looks a little far behind compared to other prestigious political martial arts. There is an oui that is comparable to .

… However, it was so difficult and complicated that I couldn’t unfold it at my current level, and I had only learned the verses from Master’s advice that even if I burned my life, my hair would turn white and die.

Compared to when I was young, my inner workings have increased, but the final cutting edge of the batting stick is to perform it with an understanding of herbivore regardless of the amount of inner workings, so it is a martial art that I cannot perform at my current level anyway.

Almost none.

However, despite my valid question, Tagu-chan just silently handed me his staff.

“Don’t hesitate, partner. You are a genius who can deceive even the sky. It’s about believing in yourself and unlocking your potential.”

The world of images, the man wearing sunglasses, and the ultimate killer.

… Well, if these conditions are met, the only answer is awakening. I grabbed the staff that Tagu-chan gave me with both hands and stood up.

“I got my posture. What should I do now?”

“Your partner will already know what to say next.”

Ah- I’m sure the only word to shout in this situation is ‘that’.

Endlessly raises internal energy from Danjeon. Release with momentum to cover the world. Filled with spirit, it bursts spirit pressure.

“Man(卍)-“

… And woke up from a dog dream

“Hae(解)!!!!!!!”

Soso, who was riding with me in the carriage, looks at me with startled eyes at the sound of my strong and strong wake-up call that announces morning.

Blink- Blink-

I’m sorry if I just shouted out in my sleep and watched it like this, but it was so cute that it shrank like a hedgehog and blinked its big eyes.

***

It seems that people’s fate is something that you don’t know even if you know it.

She couldn’t admit that she was poisoned, so she decided to stay in Baekhwa-hyeon and study the tea that the later Ji-soos drank.

… He didn’t say it openly, but in fact, it seemed that he didn’t want to be involved with Soso, the cause of this raid.

Anyway, this is Jeseok-hyeon, a village located on the way from Hubei to Henam.

Originally, I was going to go to Jegal Sei to meet Gwahae right away, but I sent someone to check it out while receiving a simple investigation and thanksgiving from the Tang family warriors who were urgently summoned because the lady of the family was injured in Baekhwa-hyeon.

It is said that Gwahae and Yang Jegal had already left for the Moorim League located in Hanam to participate in the Yongbong Branch on the morning I filmed Legend of One Fifty.

It’s not 30,000 miles to find a mother, but 30,000 miles to find a mother. But what can I do? The person I want to see has to move busily.

To be honest, it’s been too long since I haven’t seen it. I want to see the excess.

I want to gently bite my soft cheek.

With that thought in mind, let’s stare blankly out of the wagon. Perhaps during the festival, people were bustling with the smell of delicious food.

As I was heading to Murimmaeng, I talked to Soso about recuperating for a few days in Jeseok-hyeon, which is famous for its medicinal baths.

In many ways, it seems that we arrived at the right timing.

***

The inn is equipped with a medicinal bath and hot spring, so even staying overnight is expensive.

There, Soso and Mancheon were having a light meal.

“The price is not cheap. Rent a room for my coachman and me to stay. I, Sima Au, were surprised by Namgung-hyung’s distribution.”

I escaped on the way up, so my pocketbook wasn’t good enough to be extravagant. I was just grateful that he was willing to give me such a nice room.

“Gongja Sima is my benefactor and companion, so of course I have to give him up.”

He still drew a line and looked polite, but he also felt a bit of friendliness.

To be honest, I wanted to get closer and learn swordsmanship, but I didn’t rush because the time needed to get close to each other was different.

The important thing is to keep expressing the feelings of wanting to be close to you, but be considerate of the other person.

If Soso is still having a hard time with me, it’s just a story that we can slowly get to know each other according to Soso’s sense of distance.

With Mancheon thinking about this, let’s naturally pour tea into Soso’s empty teacup.

Suddenly, a child who had just entered the inn pointed to Mancheon, to be precise, the cane that Manchun stood next to the table, and shouted loudly.

From noble mtl dot com

“Mom! There- there- wand! Lame Sasseokcheon!!”

“… Hmm? Jaeseokcheon?”

“He must have been excited because he enjoyed watching the festival play. Sorry.”

After Manchun bowed her head and apologized, she looked at the back of a woman walking away holding an excited child in her arms.

I could understand the lame, but I didn’t understand the word “Jeseokcheon” That followed. I don’t know why it popped up all of a sudden.

And let Soso also follow me and tilt her head and ask questions.

A woman wearing conspicuous clothes, like a theater actress who had been looking at Soso from a corner of the inn, approached with a friendly voice.

“Welcome to the joyful Sasseokcheon Festival. Perhaps you need a friendly festival guide to answer your questions?”

I’m not sure, but the villagers seem to like to appear out of nowhere and chat.

Anyway, it wasn’t a bad story to pass the time, so I nodded my head.

Of course, the money needed to hire the guide was borrowed from Soso.

It’s not that I don’t have money, but I’m a teacher.

I had to save as much money as possible to buy more medicine and one more when we met.

I’m sorry, Namgung noona. I’ll be filial later.

***

Jeseokcheon (帝釋天).

He belongs to Heaven, the highest of the Eight Gods, and the head of the Twelve Heavens that protect the world from above.

As the head of the twelve heavens, the area in charge is also great.

A thunder god who handles thunder and lightning.

A martial god who handles all weapons in the world at will.

A guardian spirit that guards and protects people.

… But for women, it’s third-rate. He’s crazy

“No-Abi seduced her daughter with her eyes open?”

At my question, the festival guide smiled brightly and proudly recited the tale of the madman.

“Yes, Saji is in love with Saji, the daughter of King Asura. It is said that the king of Asura seduced her limbs with sweet words in front of her. Isn’t that great?”

“I’m not serious. Are you being sarcastic?”

Until recently, children who were excited to see the festival play and played with models of Geumgangjeo, the symbol of Jeseokcheon, looked warm…

“Jeseokcheon Geumgangjeo! Jecheokcheon Geumgangjeo!!”

“Jeseokcheon, he is a god!!”

“Mom! When I grow up, I want to become Sasuke!!”

… Now it seems to be the evil of a mad pseudo-festival.

“The guardian of the world can seduce women and engage in incest. You have to look at the tale with a generous eye.”

Anyway, as the stage of the play gets closer, the number of people who used to be crowded increases.

And I could understand why the child in the inn looked at me earlier and shouted that I was lame.

It was because the actor playing Sasseokcheon, wearing a fancy mask, was imitating lameness by holding his cane and limping one of his legs.

“How did a nobleman who is both a god of thunder and a god of war become crippled?”

In response to my valid question, the guide who likes Sasseokcheon burst out laughing as if it couldn’t be helped.

“I was trying to come down from the sky to save people, but I fell by mistake. At least in the tales handed down in this village, it is.”
