Episode 140 I struggled to remember.
I watched from beginning to end as the bandits beat Chaeju to death.
etc. Chaeju will naturally be stronger than his subordinates. However, it did not stop dozens of people from punching and kicking. In particular, because the strong men grabbed Chaeju on the back first, he was beaten to death without even being able to fight back properly.
I sat down at Taesa Temple again and took a closer look at the bandits.
“… … .”
When I close the snout, all I can hear is the sound of birds chirping and insects crying.
Once again, beautiful mountains surrounded us.
Only then did I look around the main building of Namakmaeng, take a look at the surrounding scenery, and then look closely at the bandits again.
To remember a face, you have to look for a long time, and to examine the physiognomy, you have to look closely.
I looked around at the bandits without saying a word for a while and then said,
“When you were confronting the Murim Alliance, what confidence did you have that you smiled at us? One thousand people versus one hundred people. What will happen? If we fight, we will win. Have you ever thought of something like this? There is nothing to be afraid of. Those who want to talk, please answer comfortably. Now that the creditor is dead, I also plan to talk to you.”
After a long silence, one person answered.
“We believed in Lord Yayul.”
“How can I trust the leader of Yayul? The Murim Lord came in person. “Do you not know who the leader Lim So-baek is?”
This time, another guy responded.
“During the fight earlier, Gwigokmunju (鬼谷門主) was also with us.”
“however?”
“The sword was broken by Lord Lim’s single sword and he died instantly. “It was unexpected.”
“Did that Gwigokmunju boast to the Yayul leader that he could win if he joined forces? Was he a skinny guy earlier? “He appeared with your leader.”
“yes.”
The bandits were truly ignorant.
How can a man named Munju of Gwigokmun become the Murim Lord’s opponent?
It seems that what I saw and heard in the mountains was limited.
Perhaps the man they feared most was not leader Lim Sobaek but leader Yayul.
“Then, when I made the sphere made of the seasons earlier. “Wasn’t the guy who jumped into that sphere also a nokrimmaeng?”
“Yes, I belong to Gwigokmun.”
“good. I roughly understood the situation. Anyway, those Gwigokmun people must have had a grudge against the Murim Alliance, right?”
“I know so.”
There are many Sapa masters who have a grudge against the Murim Alliance. It must be because their master or his brother-in-law is dead.
I nodded and then spoke to the bandits.
“But why are you all so ignorant? Is it because I’m stuck in the mountains? “You are truly ignorant.”
“… … .”
“It is ignorance itself. This is not a question of whether one learned to read or not. Your life itself is ignorant. Why is that so? “If your Yayul leader was that strong, he wouldn’t have been active in the Black Island or the Murim Alliance instead of Green Forest.”
One guy responded with mixed emotions.
“They’re ignorant, so they’re stealing.”
“good. It was a fairly ignorant remark, but I won’t kill you. Wake up. who is this?”
One guy stood up hesitantly, and at first glance he looked ignorant.
“Sit down. “You look ignorant, so please look at me.”
“yes.”
I sighed, glared at the bandits, and continued speaking.
“In fact, being ignorant and stealing are not related. It’s an insult to ignorance. You are lower than being ignorant. Because not all the ignorant people in the world commit banditry like you. What you mainly do is to extort money from merchants crossing the hill by threatening them with swords, kidnapping women and girls, and persecuting small numbers with large numbers. It doesn’t fit the bill of being ignorant because they have their own strategies and brains. It’s actually more accurate to say that they are idiots who do very strategically stupid things. I’m not sure if you understand what I’m saying. Hey you. “What did I say?”
The guy I pointed out answered.
“They said he was a moron who did strategically stupid things.”
“That is you.”
“… … .”
“Then what is ignorant?”
“Inherently, being ignorant means not having seen something, not having heard anything, and not being able to properly learn about a certain field. This is not a sin, nor is it something to be ashamed of. That’s just ignorant. It could be said that it was ignorant to not know how strong the Murim Lord was. “It’s a little different from banditry.”
“… … .”
“But no matter how ignorant people are, if they have the right mind, they don’t beat up merchants crossing the hill and take their money, or beat them to death and bury them somewhere. This is completely different from ignorance. In short, it is shameless.”
“What is shame?”
“You know no shame.”
A guy with a very unpleasant outlook responded like this.
“What do you mean by shame? After all, we beat the weak. “Isn’t that the same as the Murim Alliance killing us?”
I looked at the guy who responded.
“Do you think I want to argue with you? Are you making a pun? If I refute it with logic, you are the one who will refute it with similar examples. That’s because you are a person who knows no shame. They are ignorant, but if they don’t have shame, they usually don’t know how to admit it. I guess I look like a bachelor who went to academia and read articles. You funny bastard. “I saw the wrong person.”
I woke up at Taesa Temple.
“You went crazy trying to rummage around.”
When the guy who was playing with words suddenly tried to run away, the big guy next to him grabbed his arm.
“Let go!”
A guy who looked like a bandit dock grabbed the back of the guy who was trying to run away and lightly threw him towards where I was. I pulled out the black cat towards the one struggling in the air, and after seeing the blood bursting out, I threw the black cat back in.
A body split in half fell to the ground with a sound.
The bandits’ faces turned pale again.
I clicked my tongue and sat down in Taesa again.
“I looked at the wrong person. You bastards. By the way, I heard you attacked the Janga Industrial Complex? The Murim lord would not have had any relationship with the Jangga Sangdan. Master Lim was so angry that he summoned the Baekdo forces at the Xingshan branch and came here himself, walking all night, chewing hard beef jerky, and enduring drowsiness. As a leader, you can enjoy fame and wealth just by staying in the Murim Alliance, so why did you come this far away to kill idiots like you? It didn’t come to kill you, it came to protect the merchant. You bandits, don’t try to reason with me. Sword fighting doesn’t work, logic doesn’t work. okay?”
“yes.”
“You bully the weak in order to take money. The reason why a strong martial leader wants to kill you is to protect those who are weaker than you. Don’t be mistaken. That’s a very insulting comment. And look at me.”

“… … .”
“I am different from Lord Lim. It’s different from you too. Watching your mouth is the way to survive. “Anyway, does anyone know why I’m being so loud?”
The big guy who caught the guy who was trying to run away earlier responded.
“Aren’t you trying to distinguish between those who will be saved and those who will be killed?”
With my eyes wide open, I looked at the guy who looked like a bandit dockwood.
“Hey, you’re smart. “Come here.”
The big guy stood up, walked over to me, and knelt down again.
I looked closely at the big man’s face.
“How old are you?”
“I’m nineteen.”
“It’s a surprise. “Why are you so skinny?”
“It’s been that way since I was born.”
“It looks like you were born as a merchant.”
“yes.”
Sometimes there is a guy like this. The body inherited from their parents must have been exceptionally strong. At first glance, he looked to be over 30, but when he told me he was 19, I was taken aback.
“What is your name?”
“This is Jangsan (張山).”
“Jangsan, what do you think about shame?”
The large man on his knees responded politely.
“No one talked about shame here. “I don’t know either.”
“Then I’ll tell you.”
“yes.”
“You are now 19 years old and a powerful businessman. It is inevitable that you will remain here for a year or two because it is your fate in the grand scheme of things. But let’s say you’ve been watching Nokrimmaeng’s actions here for about ten years. Let’s say you’re around 29 years old. Even then, if you are living as a 29-year-old bandit who thoughtlessly bullies the weak, beats up merchants, and steals goods, it is not fate, but because you are a shameless idiot.”
“yes.”
“Or, if you trained martial arts fiercely for ten years, killed the lord of the green forest with your own hands, took control of this entire place, and then sought a way to live other than banditry, what should I call you then?”
“I do not know.”
“At that level, he deserves to be called a man. “A man who decides his own direction in life, finds his own way to live, and becomes independent, that is a real man.”
I spoke to Jangsan with narrowed eyebrows.
“Just because he’s strong like you doesn’t make him a man.”
“Is that so?”
“why? “Did you still stick around here ten years later to make a fuss?”
I waved my hand and returned the jangsan to its place. When I looked at Jang San’s face as he got up and left, I noticed that it had already turned bright red. It meant that he was a person who knew a certain amount of shame.
‘I rescued one… … .’
I leaned against the Taesa Temple, looked at the bandits, and spoke honestly.
“You may want to kill me, but so do I. Know my heart. I also want to kill you all, one by one. “I’m comfortable with that.”
Jang San answered.
“I saw earlier that Confucius killed the most of our Nokrimmaeng. “I don’t think it makes sense with what you just said.”
“good. Good point. I killed the most. Your brothers, your superiors, your subordinates, the good bandits, the bad bandits… … I killed them without leaving a trace. But I didn’t overwhelmingly kill 100 people like that. Let’s assume that 100 Murim members fight against 1,000 of you. You can’t win anyway. “Shall we assume that one or two Murim members were killed in the fight earlier?”
“… … .”
I literally told the truth that had happened in my past life.
“You 1,000 idiots were all killed by Lord Lim before the sun even set today. Lim Sobaek is that kind of man. He is a person who has a great sense of responsibility towards his members. “After I mercilessly killed a hundred people, how many of them survived?”
Jang San responded with a somewhat surprised expression.
“Most of them surrendered.”
I nodded while looking at Jangsan.
“The sea I intended. Whether you believe it or not… … .”
I looked around at the scenery of the mountain village and spoke in a bitter tone.
“Namak is not yours. Your life is not mine either. I told Master Lim that I was in charge of this place for a while, but in reality, I don’t have the skills or personality to take care of you all. Now that the Murim League is gone, stop killing me too. Those of you who want to leave, get up now and go down Namak. I’ll save you, so you can live a different life from now. My patience ends here. “Get up before I change my mind.”
I looked at the bandits kneeling at Taesa Temple.
Perhaps because they were still afraid of me, no one woke up.
“Can’t you believe that I will save your life?”
He responded to my comments here and there.
“yes.”
“I understand. But I’m sick of looking at your faces.”
“… … .”
“I am not talking about the beauty or ugliness of appearance. Your thoughts are very evident in your facial expressions. It sickens me every time to read those thoughts. I just don’t want to see you, so leave. I may be a man of words, but I am a man who keeps his promises. “If you don’t leave now, you won’t have a chance.”
After a while, one or two people stood up, looked at me, and then lowered their heads.
I said, waving my hand.
“Don’t bandit. “If Lord Lim gets angry, other Green Forest forces will soon attack.”
Starting with these words, bandits rose up here and there, gathered in groups of twos and threes, watched, and then quietly disappeared from Nokrimmaeng’s main building.
Somehow, there were more of them left.
I told the remaining guys.
“Sit comfortably.”
Only then did the bandits who had been kneeling sit down with their butts on the floor. I gathered the bandits closer and then spoke.
“Look at me one by one and say your name.”
Although I was sure to forget them later anyway, I tried my best to memorize the names of the bandits. The bandits on the left looked at me while saying their names.
I looked at the bandits and memorized their names with the same concentration as when learning martial arts.
When the name-calling is over.
I said while looking at the bandits.
“Jeonson, Woo Munsu, Huung, Deungik, Yeom Irak, Jangsan, Yeom Wonki, Do Daesam, Gujun, and Gupyeong. Are you two brothers?”
Gu Jun and Gu Pyeong answered at the same time.
“yes.”
“okay. Jong Jong-chan, Gwa Woo-chun, Po Chung-ah, Yang Ho, Jang Son-rak, Nam Ju-kyung, Lee Chan, Jo Ga-seong, Wi Gwang… … .”
I recited all the names I knew by heart. Whenever I made a mistake along the way, the bandits corrected me. After calling out the bandits’ names one after another, he took a deep breath. Even though it was nothing special, I felt out of breath.
A guy named Jo Ga-seong asked me.
“How did you memorize it all?”
“Don’t be surprised. “You forget everything quickly.”
I said while looking around at the bandits who called out my name.
“anyway… … “You’re lucky I didn’t kill you.”
After doing this, I introduced myself to the bandits.
“I am Hao Wen Ju.”
