Surprisingly, Jungwon has a long tradition of standing up. Sleep in bed, and sit in a chair when sitting.
The cross-legged posture used by the martial arts people is different from the cross-legged posture commonly used in the Qing hometown, and is more like a stunt where both feet are positioned on opposite thighs.
In short, it is a very uncomfortable posture, but if you ask why you are in this posture, it is actually a penance to avoid falling asleep during meditation.
The lotus position is originally a posture from Buddhism, and the basis of ancient Buddhism lies in self-harm.
So, for the dancers of Hyeongaekdang, sitting cross-legged is not an impossible posture, even if it is a bit uncomfortable.
Although he is an independent, that is, from a ronin background, he is not a wanderer with no fundamentals without studying internal skills, and has made a name for himself in the local area through the Murim League’s strict personality screening.
Thanks to this, Do-rae was alone and uncomfortable lying on the floor.
“Preface Soger? “Can’t I just sit down too?”
“no way. Lie down comfortably. comfortable. “Provincial small cooperatives should receive special treatment.”
How can this be comfortable!
Except for a few, all the independent warriors of Hyeongaekdang sat cross-legged in the room, and among them, Dorae was the only one lying on the floor.
Isn’t this not special treatment but special harassment? It seems like they’re being rude to me for daring to give me an evil medicine that uses blood.
“So, that means that every single one of them ate Jamramdan. hmm. “What can I do about something that has already happened?”
Independent warriors avoided their gaze.
Cheong spoke to him.
“The human medicine will be discarded after the ancestral rites are performed. now. Take it out and put it away. “Let’s start by making up our minds to see what the guy who gave us the medicine looks like-”
“Not like this. “Sojeo, what are you doing to retrieve it?”
“Eh.”
Cheong looked at the warrior who had shaken off his anger and stood up.
This is Wang Nopil’s cooperative, which uses chairs as weapons.
“What is it? So you’re going to keep taking human-ground pills?”
Wang Nopil paused for a moment.
“Isn’t this already made? “It’s a pity for the victims, but wouldn’t they also want someone to use them rather than being wasted without meaning?”
What kind of logic is this?
Cheong got really annoyed.
“What is the meaning of doing something grand and just? Are you proud of what you ate before a business meeting, so you proudly shout it out? In the first place, did you think that the red jamramdan that the suspicious guy gave you was the right item?”
“that.”
“Everyone, tell me. I believed it because Shintu gave it to me, don’t say things like that. In the first place, did the guy who said he was a believer hold up a certificate of trust issued by the government? Aren’t we all obediently gathering here and being in uncomfortable positions because we’re all being shameful and complaining? ah. Please continue to lie down. “Ah, please rest comfortably.”
The warriors avoided their gaze, and only poor Do-rae hesitated, trying to get up and then lying down uncomfortably again.
Cheong roughly calculated that each pill increased his bad karma by 30 points.
But, is it not a sin to eat it without knowing?
It’s not like someone secretly ate it to you while you were sleeping or threatened to kill you by pointing a knife at you.
After listening to Nana, I heard that the red medicine itself was ominous and was to be avoided, but they were people who made a fuss and took it because a person they didn’t even know was giving it to them.
Shintu in the first place? Shintu was just an excuse, and he just wanted to believe that it was a good medicine given by Shintu out of a desire to get good grades at the secretariat.
Is the source suspicious? Suspicious.
Are the drugs suspicious? Suspicious.
Is the purpose of use honest? It’s not honorable.
So even if bad karma increases, there is nothing to say.
Wang Nopil screamed at him.
“You don’t understand! We grew up beautifully and lived by drinking elixirs and learning new techniques from a young age. How can we understand our hearts? You never know what this secret club event means to us Ronin graduates! Everyone, right!?”
Wang Nopil’s sorrowful words also made the other warriors’ eyes sparkle.
Originally, there were two ways to make people angry. The first is to stop talking, and the second is right away.
However, the above method applies to everyday life and is not a recipe for arguments and arguments.
In fact, there was a separate attack method that was the best combination of offense and defense that inflamed a person’s anger and at the same time made them speechless with feelings of resentment, irritation, and resistance, and at the same time caused their blood pressure to explode.
This means using moral superiority to identify and suppress the other person’s flaws.
Cheong felt sorry for that.
No matter how many times you throw a tantrum out of frustration, instead of making the other person feel ashamed, you only get a backlash, so it’s just a knife you spit out to make yourself feel better.
Even though in order to appease the other person, you have to induce them through empathy.
Or money.
And the Qing’s preferred method is force.
In response, Cheong softened his momentum and calmed him down, changing his approach.
“I understand everything, so I’m here to quietly resolve it. To put it bluntly, I’m here without telling high-ranking political figures about Jamramdan or anything like that, right? “I understand how desperate you all are.”
“under. Understand. You’re funny. What do you know? “How can Sojeo, a disciple of the priestess, understand the sadness that is floating around without a proper background, let alone a recluse?”
“Yeah, I’m from a Ronin family too. “It was only a few years ago that I lived a life of picking up trash and fighting with beggars for seats.”
“… … ? Then, you are not from a ronin, but from a beggar background-”
“no way. Ronin or beggar. If you grab a knife and steal it, you’re a ronin, but if you don’t pick it up and ask for it, you’re a beggar. Isn’t it? You’ve all been sleeping on the streets, getting beaten up by beggars, and you’re very happy if you happen to find some meat from the thrown away food waste, right? And again… … ”
After speaking, the resentment I had inside came out.
At times like this, who should I confide in?
Cheong, who thought he had finally met someone who could sympathize with him, opened up about the sadness he had been harboring.
The expressions on the faces of the former Ronin became awkward.
“uh. hmm.”
“It’s a day when I catch a rat and feast on it for a long time, and I don’t want to lose it to beggars, so I eat it raw. See, thinking about it makes me angry. I should have set a fire under the bridge before leaving Geonpyeong. “Shall I go after the martial arts competition?”
The warriors looked at each other.
Even if he was a ronin, he never behaved like a beggar like that. Even if you sold knives as a day laborer in a third-rate military service, you were at least given a cold meal and a place to sleep.
“Well, you’ve worked hard… … ”
“What, why are you looking at me like I feel sorry for you? “Aren’t all ronin people like this?”
“Sojeo, actually, that’s not a ronin, it’s a beggar, hmm. No, Sojeo must have gone through a lot of hardship.”
As Wang Nopil was about to say that, he was stabbed in the side by a colleague and changed the subject.
In this way, Wang Nopil’s agitation was aborted.
On the contrary, after listening to Cheong’s sorrowful experience, I was comforted by the fact that I would never have lived the life of an unmanned person in the gutter of the lower stream.
In the first place, if he was able to negotiate in his own neighborhood with martial arts skills that could be seen by others, his life wasn’t so messed up.
In the end, wooden boxes were piled up in front of the office.
When Cheong opened it and checked, there were two pills in each and two spaces were empty.
It looks like he has faithfully attended the two games so far in the finals.
“hmm? What is it? Who else ate half of this? “Did you eat half of it and leave?”
Then, Cheong found only one half of the pill and asked.
“It was originally half price. People who eat jamramdan for the first time should start from half, so I ate half from the beginning. I’ve had it once before… … .”
The warriors nodded their heads in agreement.
In the first place, it was a wooden box of three and a half grains, not four grains.
what. They even adjusted the dosage the first time you took it? For a guy who did strange things, isn’t he very kind?
I heard that even though it is an evil herbal medicine, it is truly effective and has almost no side effects.
Cheong got to the point, thinking that there were real weirdos in the world.
“From now on, we have to catch this evil drug bastard and deal with it.”
“You mean Shintu? How can we… … ”
“I decided to spread something terrible that cost my blood, but whether it was a divine power or not, would it have been done with good intentions? “If it’s not to ruin you, it’s a ploy to ruin your face.”
“If you say it’s about face… … ?”
“In the secret martial arts association, independent warriors have achieved good results for a long time, but if someone suddenly appears and says that those bastards cowardly won by taking human-made pills, you will lose your face and the Murim Alliance’s face will be lost as well. “This is what I think. What do you think?”
This was the opinion of Cheong, an expert in losing face.
Since he was the highest authority on losing face, he was able to see through other people’s tricks.
The warriors’ expressions became serious at that.
There is no good will without reason in this world.
I guess it was because Shintu was such a weird guy and he was weird enough to want to steal victory together.
However, in reality, the independent warriors who were trying to turn their lives around by achieving good results at the secretariat just wanted to believe that out of desperation.
After listening to Cheong’s words, I realized that the belief was actually an illusion without any basis.
“As I said before, I understand how desperate you are. Actually, in my opinion, is there a big difference between the level achieved by being born with an elixir and the level of skill achieved by shaving off one’s own lifespan? I don’t even want to say it’s right or wrong. “If only Jamramdan wasn’t a damn thing made by grinding people.”
The warriors nodded seriously.
“So, I hope this matter comes to light and you don’t get criticized. You worked very hard to get this far without any background. “They say they are famous in the neighborhood for their negotiation skills.”
At 30 points per grain, half of those who deduct 60 points of bad karma turn to good karma.
Even after adding 60 points, there was no one who scored more than 100 points, so the Murim Alliance’s personnel verification was certain.
Isn’t it really easy for people from political factions to live righteously?
However, it is difficult to live a difficult life (though not as much as Cheong thought) and protect one’s karma.
Therefore, these people should not be criticized or pointed out for not being able to overcome a momentary temptation.
In Cheong’s opinion, it shouldn’t have been done that way.
“So, aren’t you going to be able to sleep with your feet up if we catch them and deal with them, whether they are the dogs who sprayed drugs or the dogs?”
The warriors nodded again.
Cheong gave a kind voice.
“So, let’s think about it together. “I don’t know how to hold it and tighten it.”
