Chapter 136: Lazy Man, Inhaling (1)
“…….”
“…….”
Saga looked at Jang Il… no, Gwanggu Shin Gae with his transparent pupils.
Gwanggu Shingae avoided Saga's gaze with an embarrassed expression.
"no……."
“Up to there.”
Gwanggu Shingae cut off Saga's words firmly.
"that……."
"All anger comes from the mouth. Words bring anger, and the tongue can be a sharp sword. Perhaps you're just not used to it, but words that hurt others shouldn't be spoken carelessly."
“Is it okay to do something hurtful?”
“…….”
Gwanggu Shingae had nothing to say and just drank the alcohol.
“What are you thinking?”
“What were you thinking? I just did what I always do!”
“…….”
Saga thought about it again.
From the beginning of this story, Gwanggu Shingae has been claiming that Wi Yeon-ho was idealized, but in reality, perhaps the most idealized one is Gwanggu Shingae himself?
Still, Wei Yanhu has the achievement of saving the world.
No, not to that extent.
If everything Gwanggu Shingae has said so far is true, Wei Yanhu's accomplishments go beyond what is known. Most of Wei Yanhu's known accomplishments are concentrated after the Battle of Luoyang.
Although he made a name for himself in the Volcanic Sect, at that time, Wei Yanhu was not evaluated as having saved the world.
But based on what I've heard so far, doesn't that mean that Wei Yanhu has already saved Jianghu countless times before?
on the other side…….
"I……."
"what!"
“I have a question I’d like to ask.”
"what?"
“Then what exactly has the new god been doing…….”
“…….”
The face of the Gwanggu Shingae was distorted.
The corners of my mouth tremble, my eyes flutter, my cheekbones sway, my shoulders shake.
“……No. It’s okay.”
It was as if I'd already heard the answer. Any further stirring up the Gwanggu Shingae scandal would be elder abuse.
“Ahem! Ehhhhhhh! Ahem!”
The shack collapsed as the man who had been coughing in vain continued speaking in a firm voice.
“Anyway, that guy caused such a mess!”
“Who caused the accident?”
“No, I had an accident.”
Saga's eyes narrowed.
'Is what this old man says really credible?'
At this point, I was starting to suspect that all the accidents Wi Yeon-ho had caused were actually the work of Gwanggu Shingae. Of course, that couldn't be true.
“Anyway, that’s what I’m saying.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“……Ugh.”
Gwanggu Shingae sighed deeply.
I lost face by bringing it up for no reason. Now, no matter what I say, I don't think he'll listen.
“Anyway, so…….”
“What did you do and how did you do it?”
“What are you doing? You stole it.”
"yes?"
Saga tilted his head.
“Again?”
“……Again?”
“Well, do you run away when something happens? You even run away from the Demonic Cult.”
“Hey, Inma!”
The Gwanggu Shingae shouted.
"Do you think you could fight if you were there? Imagine those masters, their eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, rushing at you right before your eyes. There are over a thousand of them!"
It's scary to imagine.
But what should I say… … .
“But isn’t it still brilliant?”
“Hey! Do you know what kind of metal that guy is made of? He’s a human too!”
The light bulb exploded with heat.
"These days, they think he's not even human. You're still a reasonable man. Some even ask if it's true that the Radiant One never even had a sword in his body. Anyone who sees him would think he's a dragon. They'd think he had scales, really!"

The voice of the Gwanggu Shingae gradually grew louder.
"You don't even think about how much a person has to suffer to achieve something like that. He's been through countless near-death experiences. Do you think he has any integrity? In the end, he was just a patched-up piece of rag!"
“Hey, calm down for now…….”
“That guy! That guy!”
Gwanggu Shingae clutched his thigh, speechless.
“Ugh.”
Gwanggu Shingae, who had been shaking his head several times, let out a deep sigh.
“I’m sorry. I got excited.”
“No, Shin-gae.”
“Tsk, I did that because I was annoyed.”
“Is it because everyone talks so easily?”
“That’s not it…….”
Gwanggu Shingae turned his head and looked outside the hut. The darkness that had descended was unbearably heavy.
"The world has made him the ultimate hero. His name will be remembered as a hero for generations to come."
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Who is the hero?”
“…….”
“Gwanghwimujon or Wiyeonho?”
“Aren’t you two the same person?”
“No.”
The Gwanggu Shingae spoke firmly.
“The Gwanghwimujeon is nothing more than a shell created by taking Wei Yanhu’s achievements.”
"one……."
“Is there anything in common between the Gwanghwimujon you knew and Wei Yanhu?”
Saga couldn't answer.
Similarities?
There is no such thing.
Until he first entered this hut, Saga had thought of Wi Yeon-ho, that is, the perfect incarnation of the Gwanghwi Mu-jon.
A perfect being, both in terms of education and character.
But is it even possible to say that Wei Yanhu is perfect?
That makes no sense.
one…….
“But isn’t that a good thing for Wi Yeon-ho as an individual?”
“You said…….”
"yes."
“Have you ever thought about how much Wei Yanhu suffered to protect Jianghu before coming here?”
“…….”
does not exist.
That's why I couldn't answer.
"It's being obscured. The world has made Wei Yanhu into a perfect being. Therefore, Wei Yanhu's suffering and the blood he shed have all been erased. In reality, it's actually you who should know."
The voice of the Gwanggu Shingae flowed out bitterly.
"I'm no different. I'm the one who most vehemently defended the world's illusion of brilliance and invincibility. At the time, I thought it was for Wei Yanhu. But then I realized it wasn't. That's why the world seemed so different to me."
Gwanggu Shingae's words were resonating in Saga's heart.
"How many people's sacrifices and sufferings were lost like that? In the face of that grand name called history."
It's a heavy word.
These were especially heavy words for a historian who had to deal with history.
“It was the same with Wei Yanhu.”
Gwanggu Shingae smiled bitterly.
“Tsk, what a waste of time. What good is it to say that now?”
“Can I ask you just one thing?”
“I’ve asked countless times, so why are you asking again? Just ask.”
“The Radiant One… No, did Wei Yanhu suffer that much?”
"huh?"
"I'm saying this because, based on what I've heard so far, I don't think it's really something to be said like that. Of course, I suffered enough to die, and there was the incident with Weichan… I wouldn't be able to say I lived an ordinary life even if I died, but words like blood and suffering don't really seem to fit."
“That’s right.”
"yes?"
“That’s right.”
“…….”
The Gwanggu Shingae chuckled.
"From what I've said so far, Wi Yeon-ho hasn't suffered much. Of course, as you said, he suffered mentally because of the Wi San-ho incident, but not to the extent that I'd say this."
“Yes, I think so too.”
“But I’m telling you this because it’s only now that I can tell you the story of Wi Yeon-ho.”
"……yes?"
"It's not much time. It's the last story. That last story has never been told to the world before."
“…….”
“Do you remember? What I first told you?”
“Is this your first time?”
“Do you remember what I said when you first asked me to tell you the story of Wei Yanhu?”
Saga quietly recalled his memories.
“This story…….”
“Yes. Can you do it to someone else?”
The Gwanggu Shingae chuckled.
“There are two reasons why I am telling you this story.”
“I will listen.”
“One is because I lack courage.”
Saga opened his eyes wide.
Jang-il, what does it mean to say that Gwanggu Shingae has no courage?
"I thought I had to tell you. I thought I had to tell the truth about Wi Yeon-ho before I die. If I die like this, no one will speak. Ddaeng-jung can't speak, and that sword-wizard has too much on his shoulders to say anything now."
Gwanggu Shingae said bitterly.
“So, I’m the only one who can talk, right?”
“……One new one.”
"Yes. I know what you want to say. It didn't have to be you. Just think of it as coincidence. Or perhaps fate. Since you came to me when I didn't have much time left, perhaps it was fate."
The Gwanggu Shingae smiled faintly.
"So, you must choose. Will you tell the world what you've just heard, or will you keep it to yourself and die? Or, like me, pass it on to someone else."
I could clearly tell that he wasn't just joking.
The usual playfulness wasn't completely gone, but at least there was sincerity in Gwanggu Shingae's voice now. A sincerity that was a little different from his usual.
“Is there a reason it has to be now?”
“There isn’t much time left.”
Saga looked at the Gwanggu Shingae with shaking eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. I've lived long enough. It's even stranger that I'm still alive at this age."
“But other people…….”
"Well, I hate to admit it, but it's true that my ignorance pales in comparison to that of the Sword Ghost or the Ddaengjung. So, it's only natural that I'd be the first to go."
“……New.”
Gwanggu Shingae reached out and grabbed the bottle of alcohol.
Gwanggu Shin-gae, who had been drinking so much that his Adam's apple was shaking, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, saying, "Ugh."
"I've lived long enough. What I'm afraid of isn't death. It's the fact that I'll die carrying all of this with me. Still, if even one person besides me knew this, wouldn't I be able to close my eyes a little more comfortably?"
Without even waiting for Saga's answer, Gwanggu Shingae continued speaking.
"I don't know what we were talking about until we got here. Let's finish what we were talking about. Where were we?"
Saga's eyes narrowed slightly again.
“It’s a stone.”
“…….”
The atmosphere he'd worked so hard to maintain was instantly shattered. Gwanggu Shingae, sensing the suspicion in Saga's eyes, quickly opened his mouth, "Isn't this kid trying to change the subject?"
"Ahem, ahem! Right, that's the story we were talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The consequences of that stone-throwing were incredible. So, over a thousand of them rushing at you at once…"
The Gwanggu Shingae shuddered.
"It was a sight that no one who hadn't seen it could ever imagine. It was like a black wave rolling in."
Gwanggu Shingae's words continued.
