Surviving as a Cripple in Murim - Surviving as a Cripple in Murim chapter 55

55 – Regret, Exhaustion, Awakening (3)

The relationship between Murim and the royal family is simple yet complex.

The first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Huaguang, was still a general in the Song Dynasty.

He was surrounded by enemies in front and behind.

The enemies in front of us are the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia. The enemy behind his back was the Song Dynasty imperial family.

To the emperor, Hua Guang was just a hound to defeat the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia, and a reserve traitor who could threaten his position at any time.

Even though he was a demigod with the blood of a god, he was alone and there was no force in the imperial palace to support him.

Even her biological mother, the Empress, felt uncomfortable with her half-god, Hwa-gwang, and kept her distance.

The only thing he could call a friend was his own shadow reflected in the fire.

If you stay like this, it’s only a matter of time before you end up with a tosagupan.

… So Hwa-gwang decided to commit real treason after the war, as he would be accused of being a traitor and executed anyway.

“Hey, over there, your Gaga (boyfriend) is passing by.”

“Ah! Fall behind! Really!?”

The cold stares and insulting words that have continued since childhood ignited Hwa-gwang’s heart.

“I didn’t do anything wrong… discriminate against f*cking bastards, I really rebel.”

No matter how strong you are, as long as you have a body, you have to eat, sleep, and fight. There are bound to be gaps.

That’s why Hwa-gwang first looked for a force that would protect him and become his confidant.

That was ‘religion’.

Not all of them were like that, but the religious people of Moorim were intellectuals and excellent warriors who could be used with all their might in times of emergency.

All the sages of old were noblemen who practiced one tap, and as I studied their teachings, I naturally learned the martial art of ascending.

In any case, Hwagwang invited Taoists and high priests from Jeonjin and Shaolin, who were the masters of martial arts at the time and had high religious status, and served them as teachers.

Let’s bow down and ask for instruction from a renowned brave warrior and a demigod who is said to have inherited the blood of a god.

Junjin and Shaolin, feeling better, praised Hwagwang as being virtuous.

Other Taoist and Buddhist sect warriors who were sensitive to these rumors also gathered around Hwagwang.

… But unfortunately, this wasn’t enough.

Taoism/Buddhism The Murim people were strong, but they were not good at strategy or strategy due to the limitations of being a religious person.

At that time, Hwagwang’s lieutenants were all appointed by the emperor, so it was as if they only commanded but did not have military authority.

Hwagwang needed people with rich experience in politics, strategy, and commanding soldiers.

And coincidentally, there was a group of warlords in the provinces who occupied each area under the pretext of preventing bandits by targeting chaos and raising private soldiers while collecting taxes instead of the government.

These were the Moorim families, such as the Namgung family, the Hwangbo family, the Jegal family, the Sacheondang family, the Hebuk Paeng family, and the Jinju eon family.

“Hey- you guys, be my teammates.”

The scary thing about fire is that if it is not extinguished in time, it will eat up everything and grow out of control.

It is already a gigantic current that people cannot resist.

“His Majesty has been dethroned as of today.”

Hwa-gwang, who succeeded in an unpleasant rebellion after going through several processes, dethroned the emperor and installed a puppet emperor who could be different at will.

The imperial palace officials were also filled with their own people.

… And later, Hwa-gwang, who destroyed the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia, is officially promoted by the puppet emperor, saying that your virtue has reached the sky.

The day when the flag of Song was lowered in the capital and the flag of Teng was waved.

Hwagwang sat on the throne and smiled at the Munmu officials and the Murim people who helped him to succeed in the rebellion.

“It is all thanks to the teachers and brothers that I am able to sit here now.”

Huaguang had been almost beaten up by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so he hated purging his meritorious subjects and generously granted immunity and benefits.

In fact, the emperor himself declared that he would not be punished for anything.

This was the beginning of the government inviolability that opened the era of the Great Murim.

Therefore, it was not possible to kill all the girls of the Namgung family just because a prophecy had come out from the hearth that predicted fortune telling for the imperial family.

Believing in one prophecy and annihilating the descendents of meritorious subjects was common sense and did not look good.

Also, in the first place, the Murim people did not use such titles as ceremonial sword king or sword king.

Fahrenheit Hwangga was reluctant, but he decided to go ahead with the idea that he didn’t have to scratch and make a boil.

Accordingly, the Namgung Sega also disguised Soso, the daughter of the head of the household, as a man and raised her as a boy to suit the mood of her imperial family.

The young head of the Namgung family, Namgung Seon (南宮鮮) and the princess of the North Sea Ice Palace, under the snowy moon, time passes.

By the time the ominous prophecy fades from people’s memories, Soso will be able to live the life of a girl again, and she waited for that day to come someday.

… But the year Soso turned twelve.

Soso drew the sword that shouldn’t have been drawn and her prophecy became doomed.

***

The heavy rain was fortunately a shower, and the play will resume in the evening.

There is just one problem.

The next scene is the scene where Jeseokcheon, who defeated the evil dragon, goes up to the sky with the fairy who came to meet him.

The rope device I was going to use at this time was out of order.

“Are those customers Moorim people? If you don’t mind, would you like to try learning?”

Wasn’t the flashy attire like a theater actor a decoration?

From noble mtl dot com

The festival guide, who was also a member of the theater group, bowed to Soso and me and asked her to participate in her play.

Certainly, if you jumped high into the light sky, you could stage a scene that went up into the sky without using a rope device.

“Well, this is also an experience and it looks fun. I will do it if you pay me.”

The guide, whose face lit up at my cool permission, waited for Soso’s decision with her expectant face.

And Soso, who had been quietly listening to the story until now, also spoke to her guide, blushing slightly with her expectant eyes.

“That word… Are you saying that I can become Sakka?”

The guide’s pupils, who had been thinking of entrusting her with the role of a fairy, shook greatly at the words of Soso, who expressed her aspirations to play the main character with her eyes shining brightly at the cost of her shame.

To start with the conclusion, I took the role of Jeseokcheon and Soso played the role of a fairy.

It was because there was no suit suitable for Soso among the costumes of Sasseokcheon.

It was very cute to see the clothes flowing down like her lover who borrowed her boyfriend’s shirt.

The guide was worried about what would happen to Su Su if she didn’t help, but Su Su agreed to help and it wasn’t right to change her words, so she took on the role of a fairy.

She only decides to wear her hair ornaments because she refuses to wear women’s clothing.

Anyway, Suso didn’t particularly dislike the fairy role she was assigned to, so she looked around the backstage of her while touching her hair ornaments made of red silk.

It was like a child watching a special film set.

***

The part we have to act in the play is that Jeseokcheon didn’t come up to heaven because he was playing with women in a hot spring.

It was a scene in which a fairy who was inferior to her danced and seduced Sasseokcheon at dawn when the moon rose beautifully, and Jeseokcheon, who was fascinated by the beautiful figure of her fairy, chased her fairy and went up to the sky.

Fortunately, this play was a Peking Opera in which actors wore masks and acted, so there was little risk of being caught even if the actor changed midway through.

That’s why we just had to jump out onto the stage like stuntmen after the actors’ performances were finished, film the chase instead of the actors, and fly up.

In other words, it was a comfortable thing to do in moderation~ properly~ and at the end, you only had to show light gongs.

… But my plans were shattered when I saw Soso’s dance.

On the stage where the beautiful moonlight and people’s hot eyes are focused, the swordsman who seduces the gods spins around and performs a sword dance.

It was a truly lofty, pitiful, upright sword dance.

Is it because of the fever of the festival? Is it because of the swordsman’s temptation?

Saliva rises from your mouth, and something hot flows from your heart.

Greed boils over.

‘… Why am I standing here right now?’

Use a cane. Move your feet Approach Soso.

I heard from behind that it wasn’t time to leave yet, but that didn’t matter anymore.

Tagubongbeop(打狗棒法) – Foot Gujocheon(撥狗朝天) – Strike a dog with a stick and raise it to the sky.

The stick and the sword collide.

The sword was lifted high into the sky by the pole that was hit from the bottom up.

Taking advantage of that gap, Sasseokcheon stretched out his hand toward Geomhee.

… However, Geomhee was not taken aback and spread the distance by walking.

It dances round and round around Sasseokcheon as if to catch it wherever possible.

The pole and the sword collide again.

Chasing and chasing each other and bumping into each other.

Two egrets dance in a circle.

I wonder if my head has calmed down a bit by moving my body. From the inside of the stage, there is a sign that it is time to get out of here.

The acting is over. It was time to go back to Samamancheon, who was common sense, from Jeseokcheon, who covets women.

Soso also saw the signal and put the sword back to free himself.

And at that moment, Mancheon’s left arm greedily grabbed Soso’s thin waist and pulled him into his arms.

Manchun lightly dropped his staff at Soso, who was visibly taken aback by the unexpected situation.

Dalgrak-

At the same time as the sound of a cane falling on the stage resonates, people’s eyes are focused on the two.

“Sa, Gongja Sima, this is the script… different. Uh, there… A lot of people watch… Please let go.”

Ji So-so, ashamed of this situation, whispered quietly, but Man-cheon gently lifted the mask with his right hand and smiled mischievously as Man-cheon, not Sae-seok-cheon.

“Feel free to watch.”

Originally, a play needs an ad-lib to become more stimulating and interesting.

“Moonchim Night Three Views (月沈沈夜三更) – Three views of the moonlight.”

Sweet words echo on the stage on a beautiful evening with the moon rising.

“Yanginsimsayanginji (兩人心事兩人知) – Only two people will know the mind of two people.”

On that day, Mancheon tore the stage of Je Seok-hyeon.
