Episode 958 Where is the volcano? (2)
A terrible silence weighed down the riverside.
Some people may have been relieved. About that Namgung Dowi not reprimanding and swearing at them.
However, those who understood what this situation meant had no choice but to clench their fists until they bled.
There is Shaolin here. There is communality and there is openness. The three sects of the nine factions and one faction that protect the river and protect the alliance are right in front of Nangong Daowi, but he does not look at them.
Even though the people he must save were still trapped on that island, waiting for salvation, Namgung Dowi was acting as if they didn’t even exist.
Because there are no expectations whatsoever from them.
That fact made everyone here suffer. Despite being treated like this, their position of not being able to even say a word of protest and having to bow their heads again struck and tore at the conscience that was deep in their hearts.
Everyone was silent as if they had made a promise. I couldn’t answer because I didn’t know, and even if I did, I didn’t have the courage to speak up first because I was so shameless.
Nangong Daowi looked back at them all with cold eyes.
“… … “Why don’t you ask?”
“… … Sogaju.”
Finally, the court opened its mouth with a frustrated groan.
“I am truly sorry to Lord Soga.”
The Shaolin monks know. It’s really rare for a court to look like this.
Now the court was truly feeling guilty towards Nangong Daowi.
“Panga will arrive soon. Then, let us do whatever it takes to save the remaining members of the Namgung family on Maehwa Island… … .”
“The volcano!”
At that moment, Namgung Dowi’s voice broke out and silenced the court.
Namgung Dowi’s face twitched. The lips, which had been twitching, opened again with difficulty.
“… … Where are you!”
The legal world’s head slowly lowered.
Nangung Dowi does not look for them. She does not ask for salvation. Even though the people he needs to save are standing in plain sight, he does not wish, shout, or want to those closest to him.
‘What right do I have to open my mouth?’
Just a sinner.
“Sogaju… … .”
The court sighed deeply again.
“I understand how you feel, but it shouldn’t be like this now. Sogaju’s late father… … . No, shouldn’t we save them on behalf of the head of the Namgung family?”
The court’s eyes and Namgung Dowi’s eyes met directly.
“… … .”
The court was left speechless.
Have you ever met eyes like that?
These were not eyes that looked at people. It’s like looking at stones scattered on the side of the road. There are no expectations, wishes, or hopes. It was as if he was saying that it wasn’t worth feeling even a single emotion.
“Don’t you know?”
“… … .”
When there was no answer, Nangung Dowi slowly nodded. And then she started walking forward.
“So, Sogaju!”
Trudging. Trudging.
Nam Gung Do-wi, who used his sword as a cane to support his body, silently took another difficult step.
Then the Shaolin monks moved out of the way one by one, left and right. While biting his lip and clenching his fists, he fiercely cleared his way, as if he dared not block his path.
Trudging. Trudging.
Namgung Do-wi, who was struggling to walk along the open road, didn’t think it would be strange if he collapsed right now.
“Sogaju.”
“… … .”
“Sogaju!”
“… … .”
“Sogaju! “What are you going to do!”
The court’s voice, which seemed to be admonishing at first, grew louder. And soon it became like shouting.
However, Namgung Dowi just walked unsteadily as if he could not hear anything.
The court, biting its lips, shouted again.
“Don’t be emotional! No matter how angry I am, what can a volcano in Shaanxi do? “You don’t know what to do to save Namgung!”
Namgung Dowi’s steps did not stop.
The words of the court could not reach him at all.
That indifferent action engraved the sin in everyone’s hearts more cruelly than any curse or scream.
“this… … .”
The red-and-blue faces of the court trembled.
“Sogaju!”
“… … volcano.”
Then someone opened their mouth. It wasn’t Namgung Dowi.
Zhao Gai, who was watching all this, opened his mouth instead of Nangong Daowi. No, to be precise, his words were spoken not to the court, but to Namgungdo.
“It’s not far away.”
“… … .”
Nangong Taoyu finally stopped walking and slowly looked back at Zhao Gai.
“… … “Where are you?”
“It’s hard to explain in words.”
Zhao Kai spoke calmly, as if he had made up his mind.
“Come with me. “I will guide you.”
“… … .”

Nangong Daowi stared at Zhao Kai in silence. Then, just as she was about to nod her head.
“elder! “What are you doing?”
The court shouted with anger in its voice. Zhao Kai looked at him with cold eyes.
“I’m just telling you because you asked me to. “It’s not really a big secret.”
“There is no way there is a volcano here! “How can you say such a thing!”
“I’m here.”
“… … what?”
Zhao Kai looked straight at the court and spoke clearly again.
“They are not far from here. “It’s been a while already.”
The court’s eyes widened.
“they… … They clearly said they would not participate in Yang Kang’s affairs! But how… … .”
“I guess he said he wouldn’t help Gu File Bang. “They are now providing relief to the Yangtze River refugees.”
The court was momentarily speechless. It was my first time hearing that a volcano was here. Looking at him with a bewildered look on his face and unable to speak, Zhao Kai shook his head.
“If they ask you what you know, you can’t say you don’t know, so I just taught you.”
The court’s lips trembled.
There is no mistake in what Zhao Gai said. There is nothing wrong with teaching people to ask. And where the volcano is is not such a big secret.
But what happens afterward is the problem.
What if the word spread that the Namgung family ignored the Gupailbang that arrived at this river and asked for salvation from that volcano?
Could anything be more tragic than that?
“Ziaogae!”
The court glared at Zhao Kai with a ghost-like face.
“Does this action mean openness?”
“That can’t be right.”
Zhao Kai calmly shook his head.
“How can someone who is not an ark and is only an elder represent openness? “That’s just what I mean.”
“Do you think that the Elder of Openness can have his own will?”
The court responded with a cold voice. Zhao Kai closed his eyes for a moment as if thinking about something, and then sighed deeply.
“… … “You are correct.”
In reality, what the court said is correct.
No matter how much he guides Nangong Daowi with his own will, since he has the status of an open elder, everything he does ultimately becomes the will of openness. For someone who leads numerous degrees of openness, personal feelings cannot exist.
“It’s not like you don’t know how to act as an elder of openness.”
“… … .”
“Stand back.”
Zhao Kai slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.
“hurry!”
“… … .”
A heavy silence fell.
Zhao Kai, who had been staring at the night sky, paying no heed to the court’s urgings, slowly lowered his head. And he burst out laughing.
“Then there is nothing we can do.”
“You thought well… … .”
Crack!
Before the court could finish speaking, Zhao Gai grabbed my jacket roughly and ripped it off.
The court’s eyes widened.
“W-what… … !”
Zhao Gai threw his torn, tattered clothes on the floor. Between the badly tumbled pieces of cloth, a knot symbolizing the opening of the door was clearly visible.
Palgyeol (八結).
Only the Elder of Openness can tie the eight knots.
“What is this thing?”
“Come on, Zaogae!”
“If I can’t do my job because of this status, I have no choice but to throw that status off.”
Zhao Gai grinned as if he was at ease. The court looked at him with an expression of complete bewilderment.
“What I do now has nothing to do with openness. So do not command me. “You don’t have the authority to do that.”
After saying those last words, Zhao Gai turned around and quickly helped Nangong Daowi.
“I will guide you, Sogaju.”
“… … .”
Nangong Daowi, who was looking at him in silence, slowly nodded. Just as Zhao Gai was about to take his steps, several Gao Dao rip off their clothes like Zhao Gai and ran over to help Nangong Dao Wei.
“this… … . What are they doing? “You idiots!”
Zhao Gai’s eyes widened, but the Dogs were grinning again.
“elder… … . No, an old beggar is old and cannot carry a person a long distance. Get out of the way. “Don’t make the injured person die by accident before he even gets there.”
“Sigh. Damn it. I didn’t know that being an open beggar in my life was becoming a blessing in disguise. “This is why I couldn’t live the way I wanted to.”
Everyone had a carefree look on their faces.
The guards pushed Zhao Gai, who was dumbfounded and speechless.
“Get out of the way. “Can’t you see that someone is injured?”
“Palla. “You carry it.”
“Yes, Bunta…” … . “No, brother.”
Jaogae, who saw them all scrambling to support and carry Nangung Dowi, ended up laughing.
“You stupid beggars.”
“Would you like to just play Nogae?”
Zhao Kai shook his head as if he had no answer and glanced back at the court. As expected, both eyes were boiling with anger. Zhao Kai, who was looking at this with a grin, proudly shouted.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
The beggars carrying Namgung Dowi ran forward like the wind without the slightest hesitation.
“… … .”
Those left behind looked at those walking away with blank faces. I couldn’t even move until the moment the image turned into a dot and disappeared.
Silence fell again. No one could open their mouths and just lowered their heads or looked into the distance.
It is to know. They no longer represent the consensus of this House of Representatives. It cannot be a place for those who are desperate for help to come.
“under… … .”
Someone’s self-deprecating laughter hurt everyone’s ears. The mixture of resentment and guilt in that short sound was so vivid that the corners of my lips tingled.
“Hahaha!”
Then someone burst out laughing.
“Hyebang!”
Beopgye raised his voice as if reprimanding, but Hyebang laughed louder as if he couldn’t hear what he was saying.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Doesn’t it look bad? “Is this what the manager wanted?”
“Can’t you just shut your mouth!”
“What difference will it make if I cover my mouth!”
Hye-bang did not give up and shouted.
“yes! Perhaps I am too foolish to guess its noble meaning! I wish it were! I hope I’m stupid and stupid and don’t know anything! please! Jebaal!”
The court, struck by that poignant voice that seemed to be dripping with blood, looked around with helpless eyes.
No one made eye contact with him. Really, no one.
“haha.”
A hollow laugh escaped from the mouth of the court.
How did it end up like this?
What happened… … .
“army… … Tabul.”
As I closed my eyes in despair, it felt as if my body had fallen a thousand miles off a cliff. To that endless bottomless pit.
