Path of the lone wanderer

We smile with daggers beneath the relentless rain, a rain that no longer cleanses our sins. The souls of Murim are stained with their grievances, while the world is manipulated like a puppet show. The only way to survive is to release our grip and let go.

where am I ?

Hello? Is there anyone here?

Mom ! sister! Father ! Where are you all?

Dad where are you! Please answer me!

I am afraid ! Don't leave me alone!

What is this? I don't know anything! Darkness surrounds me on every side!

I don't see anything at all!

Jun tried to listen, but nothing! There is nothing! He does not see, does not hear, does not even feel or smell!

Just cold!

extreme cold! His heartbeat mixed with the sound of his thoughts reverberating around him like thunder almost piercing his ears!

The severe cold seeps into all his joints, so he cannot move!

A feeling of pressure on his chest hardly leaves him!

His heartbeat is getting louder!

Mom ! Yunzi! My Father !

He feels as if he is drowning and his senses have let him down!

He feels his lungs exploding!

And the blood stops flowing in his veins!

His heart is slowly slowing down!

His eyeballs hurt and his eyes struggled with their sockets to get out of them!

Dad, don't leave me alone!

This is just a dream!

Yes, for a little while, and his sister will come to wake him up so that he can have breakfast with his parents, and then go with his father to the mountain! He will complain as usual and quarrel with his sister! Why don't you wake him up and save him from this nightmare?

You, stupid!

Please do not leave me !

He wants to cry, but he can't!

He feels that he will cry his bones instead of his tears!

He tries to find the smell of his cabin amidst the surrounding nothingness!

Like a drowning man, he tries to find something similar to his everyday life in order to wake himself up from this nightmare!

where am I !

*************************************************************************************************

A suffocating feeling seeped into him, his heart stopped working, his chest clenched against itself, he felt cold in his limbs, and if he tried to move, they would break!

However, a burning feeling gripped him! He doesn't know what's happening ! Is he dying from cold or being burnt alive?bones freezing while his skin burns! his chest explodes! His stomach had already shrunk on itself!

I wanna die !

Someone kill me!

The sounds of laughter from the wedding!

Happy sister!

Merchant Kim!

Whitey!

His mother's smiling face!

Suddenly the torrent of memories ceased to mix with a red color with bruises!

The smiling face of his mother as he turns into bones and shrinks in on himself while her body turns into a skeleton and collapses in on itself!

A suffocating feeling surrounds him!

As if his body was shattering every moment! Try not to think about the pain! Trying to remember his life!

But there is no escape, so the pain does not leave him alone while he tries to scream muffled cries!

His body is falling apart!

He does not know how much time has passed!

These visions hardly leave him!

In the midst of a world of darkness, he keeps having those visions!

incomprehensible complex mixture of feelings overwhelm him every passing moment !

Pain squeezing his body and his soul die because of him every moment!

Every passing second feels like an eternity!

My Father ! Mom ! Yunzi!

Banzan!

*************************************************************

"Watch out!"

Jun was sitting squatting on the ground in front of Banzan, in the green mountain in a forest of dense trees that rose until they almost touched the sky and the spring air touching his cheeks!

"Qi energy is present in everything around you! Rather, it is better to say that it is really everything! It is the energy of life!"

Jun was listening intently to what Monk Banzan was telling him! Jun is well aware that Banzan wants him to join the monastery, but he does not agree with the matter, even though he is aware that his family will not object to it, but on the contrary, they will encourage him! But the boy wasn't willing to give up his daily life for anything! He is aware that every moment is precious and invaluable! He realizes that life is mortal and that the moments between him and his family are irreplaceable, so how could he leave them, even if it was for a few years! As soon as he joined a monastery, he would start receiving tasks from the sect, then he would have to travel and move around!

"Actually, your attempt to breathe is nothing but a renewal of the Qi energy in your body! The energy may differ from one person to another! Its quantity, quality, and intensity! But there is no being without Qi!" "

Hey," interrupted Jun, "does that mean I have Qi in my body? You must be joking!"

"Boy! Don't interrupt me while I'm talking to you!" said the monk while hitting the boy on his head.

"Oh, bald man!" said the boy, holding his head in pain.

"This is a punishment for you, and now where were we? Oh, yes,"

coughed the monk and added, "as I used to say. Yes, all beings carry Qi in their bodies. Rather, it can be said that they originally consisted of Qi energy."

"Wah really?"

The monk hit the boy's head again

"What did I tell you about interrupting me!"

"You mean Baldie!"

"Well, I know what you're thinking! But if everyone has qi on their bodies, why wouldn't they use it?" Monk Banzan remained silent while looking at the boy's eyes waiting for his answer, and added, "It's like muscles."

"How so?"

"This is simple! If you don't make any effort and don't train your muscles, will you be able to lift heavy weights? Of course not! And this is Qi ! And this is what practitioners of martial arts do."

"Martial arts practitioners strengthen the Qi pathways in their body, which allows them to absorb more energy and use it properly. Even if your body contains a large amount of energy, this does not mean that you are able to use it, but rather it may destroy your energy pathways! "

"Oh my God! So what should I do!"

"It's simple! Breathe!"

"what ?!" "Indeed! Breathing is the best way to control energy! Through it, you control the way energy flows through your body until you reach a point where your concept of breathing changes!"

"what do you mean !"

"Look at that kid trying to bite off more than he can chew! Now listen carefully to what I'm going to teach you!"

****************************************************

He doesn't know how much time has passed since then, but it was enough for him to cope with his pain!

The feeling of cold or burning no longer bothers him as it did at the beginning, but it's still there!

He doesn't know when it started, but he feels like he's able to breathe! Not like normal breathing! Rather, what it was like what he was doing with the bald monk! Is this Qi power! strange !

He feels the Qi energy as it comes from outside his body and travels through the energy paths, but there is something that hinders it from continuing through the entire path so it gets out again !

It is repeated a lot, as if he was breathing from his nose!

But with the passage of time, he feels that the obstacle in his passages is moving a little! And with each time he feels a breakthrough, he feels that the pain is vanishing slowly!

The situation continued as it is for a long time, it felt like an eternity!

till the paths of his entire body were completely opened !

***************************

where am I ?

Jun looks at what's around him to see the wedding!

He sees the bride and her groom together, and the family around them! Another vision? But this time he feels his heart beating! What is this ? Was all this just a dream?

Hahahaha I must have been dreaming!

okay ! okay !

It must have been a damn dream! my family !

Jun felt his overwhelming desire to cry!

To run towards his family and embrace them!

There stands his mother!

He sees her smiling as she heads towards her son Jun!

!!!!!!

Hey! What is this !

You must be kidding me! is this me ?

Jun looked at the vision in front of him and he saw his mother standing there talking to what seemed to be his body, but it wasn't really him!

Unaware of what is happening! All he wanted was to scream again and run towards his family! But for some strange reason, he didn't feel his heartbeat speeding up!

He didn't feel fear, but pure happiness!

Suddenly his body moved! Hey hey where are you going! what is happening ! Jun started moving towards a little boy who was pulling Jun's clothes while looking at him

"Mom, I'm hungry!" The kid said it to Jun!

"Don't worry, little boy, the feast will start soon." said Jun extending his hand towards the child, and it was a hand of a woman , to carry the little boy on her shoulder!

Are these someone else's memories? This boy is Aunt Yun's son! Are these aunt's memories? How could this happen! Suddenly, Jun,heard a scream, turned around, and saw his little body lying on the ground next to his mother's corpse with arrows in them!

HuH?!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a person dressed in black appeared behind him with a sword in his hand! Suddenly, his vision changed from a man in black clothes to a woman carrying a small child, who looked terrified, but the strange thing about that woman is her standing with no head attached to her neck !

what happened !

the darkness is spreading again from around him! This time, the darkness continues as it was in the beginning, and Jun returns to circulate the energy again!

"What is happening here !"
