Episode 221 Hearing Omens. (7)
Murim League of Hanam.
Shaolin Temple goes further than that.
It’s finally spring after a particularly noisy winter.
It is the season when flowers are in full bloom and budding begins.
The time when the frozen river melts and the hardened ground wakes up.
This change also came to Shaolin Temple.
Through the wide and quiet old trees.
The thick plum scent settles down lightly.
As if welcoming, the watermill turned and made a sound.
Behind the wide lake that fills the Shaolin Temple.
Cheonan, the head of Shaolin Temple, was looking at the lake in a small dwelling with his eyes closed.
spring wind blows
Cheonan, who had been breathing quietly, suddenly opened his mouth.
“I’m glad you look healthy.”
An old, dry voice carried the wind and headed for the woman in the back.
The frizzy white hair is gone and the black hair is full of vitality.
A woman whose surroundings are filled with the scent of plum blossoms flowing from the danjeon.
It was Soi, the Swordsman of the Volcano, Maehwa Sword.
“Have you been well?”
“Unfortunately, you are not very well. Crunchy…”
The old man’s dry, aged voice indicated that he had little time left in his life.
Every time the woman moves lightly, the surroundings are filled with the scent of plum blossoms.
Sensing this, Cheonan opened his eyes softly.
“I heard you went through some bad things, but you seem to have endured it well.”
“A lot of people have helped.”
“Yes, yes, that must also be your blessing.”
The corners of the eyes are full of wrinkles.
Cheonan looked at the sword and smiled.
“Is Maehwaseon doing well?”
“Correction. As always.”
“Hey, hey… he always did.”
On the table in front of Cheonan, there was already another teacup besides her own.
It was as if he knew that the aftermath would come.
Geomhu looked around Cheonan and asked Cheonan.
“If it’s not my mistake, I don’t think Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong is around…. Are you okay?”
Gyeolgeuk Cheonbong.
He is one of the top 100 masters from Shaolin Temple.
He was the person in charge of the current Cheonan escort.
“I asked you to leave for a while.”
“Are you okay?”
“As long as it is the sword of the world.”
Cheonan laughed lightly and took a sip of the tea.
Following this, Geomhu also quenched his throat.
“I don’t know about you, but I am in a state of amazement right now.”
Swordsman’s gaze responds to Cheonan’s words.
“Casuality is something that humans like us cannot interfere. The snow that has fallen on me allows me to see this, even for a brief moment.”
“yes.”
It is the Cheonan that can see things that cannot be interfered with or dare not see.
It was called “the snow from heaven” because it allowed us to see the disasters that would happen in the future.
“.. Even with this insignificant body, sit steadfastly in the seat of the head of the room. It is also thanks to these eyes that I am able to enjoy a well-deserved meal that is not appropriate for the subject.”
“It’s a favor and a favor. I don’t think so.”
Swordsman shook his head at the chief’s words.
The reason why you can sit in the heaviest seat and constantly see disasters and respond to the Jinma Sutras occurring in each region.
The swordsman knew that it was because of the old man in front of him.
“There is one thing I realized after seeing and hearing many things in the past.”
“Tell me.”
“What I see with my eyes never changes.”
The future seen through Cheonan never changes.
This was like the immutable law that the host had experienced in his past days.
If you see the demonic realm open, it will surely open someday.
If you see a catastrophe happening, that catastrophe will surely happen.
Such was the case with Cheonan.
“So, to me, these eyes are like a disaster.”
What can’t be stopped can’t be stopped no matter what happens.
Knowing that countless people would die, but not being able to do anything was truly catastrophic for the director.
The swordsman silently listens to the chief’s words and expresses his doubts.
“Do you have a reason for telling me this story?”

“Yes. It is a very important reason.”
Tea water does not drip into an already empty teacup.
Only a calm wind was flowing around.
“When I heard that you were coming. It was more of a shock to me.”
“May I ask why?”
After a moment of silence, the head of the room answers the swordsmith’s question.
“You… you are someone who shouldn’t be on this earth right now.” “”
The swordsman did not show any reaction to the chief’s reply.
As if he thought it would be so.
“You are not surprised.”
“The chief told me that before he headed to the Demonic Realm. Please don’t let me have it.”
The past, when the swordsman decided to head to the Devil’s Land on his own to solve the question.
At the last moment of meeting the head of the room, the old man had said to the swordsman.
I mean, please don’t go.
“It didn’t take long for me to understand what he meant.’
The chief knew what was going to happen to the swordsman.
The swordsman was certain that it must have been.
“Is that why you were surprised to see me?”
“I saw the last of you.”
After the beautiful woman disappears and turns into an old woman who is about to die at any moment.
The appearance of the body breaking, cracking, and crumbling after not being able to hold on for long.
Even to the head of the room, it was a truly pitiful sight.
And the time it should have been.
It wouldn’t have been that far from now.
It should have been.
“Your long master even blushed, which is rare.”
“…
“You know that Maehwaseon cares about you.”
“yes. I am sorry.”
How did you not tell me even though you knew?
The head of the room clearly remembered the image of the Maehwaseon expressing a roar towards the head of the room.
The perspective of human beings does not change.
It was an immutable law that the master had found out through countless struggles and struggles over the past few decades.
That’s why I thought the afterword was like that too.
“.. You are standing in front of me now. How could that be?”
“Are you not satisfied that I am fine?”
“That can’t be the case… Rather, I think it’s fortunate enough to make my heart tremble.”
I thought it would never change.
That’s why it’s called fate.
Even about the bloody calamity that will happen in the future.
I knew it would happen, but I didn’t know what the outcome would be.
could have tried
If the end of bloodshed was destruction.
Even so, did the host try to prevent the same?
I already knew the answer.
It would not have been.
“May I ask what happened to you?”
In response to the chief’s question, Geomhu remembered someone.
Iza, the brother of his beautiful disciple.
A ferocious-looking boy who saved the sword.
‘ .If the president’s words are true.’
As he said, if it was certain that he would die from being piled up in a table, it
was the boy who changed that fate.
‘How could that be?’
Maybe it’s because he was born in the old family?
The blood relatives of the Gu family, who had uniquely brilliant talents.
Gu Cheol-woon, the head of the family at the time, is a monster who has displayed overwhelming talent since the late Jisoo era.
From the first appearance, it was on a level that could not be approached.
This was the case until he accepted the position of the head of household and took a step away from the midfield.
So are his children.
Goo Hee-bi, the eldest daughter, has already established herself as the most late index.
The second, Gu Yeon-seo, is rarely active, but there are many rumors saying that her talent is outstanding.
Gu Ryeong-hwa, his disciple.
‘Now the flowers have started to bloom.’
I was able to learn while teaching and living together.
Gu Ryeong-hwa also said that Mu’s talent is outstanding.
Especially than wielding a sword.
He has an excellent ability to detect the opponent’s movements and react to them.
Swordsman was convinced that he had enough talent to succeed him someday.
It means that the blood relatives of the Gu family are not lagging behind and are enough to be called geniuses.
‘but.’
Compared to the boy that came to mind, Swordhu thought that these three were far from lacking.
Jinlong (眞龍) Guyangcheon.
He is the son of Cheol-woon Gu and is sure to become the next head of Soga.
His appearance resembles Ho-hyeop when he was young.
He was a boy with even more talent than that.
‘Wouldn’t it be most appropriate to say that the sky has fallen for that child?’
It may be a bit excessive, but the swordsman thought that even this was not enough for Gu Yangchun.
How was it when you saw the sword dragon being raised in the volcano?
As soon as Geomhu saw Yeongpung, he remembered the revival of the volcano.
He was a child with such overwhelming talent and character.
He was convinced that if that child continued to develop his talent, the first person in the world would surely emerge from the volcano.
Mae Hwa-seon, a long-time writer as well as swordsman, was of the same mind.
but.
Swordsman had to change his mind after seeing Guyangchun.
His love for the child of the volcano was still the same.
Putting Yangchun and Youngpoong on the same line would be like hell for Youngpoong.
‘That kid is a monster.
It’s been months since I haven’t seen your face.
Even just listening to the story of my brother, who was talking about his disciples.
The afterword was known.
The child was already at a level that could not be placed among the late exponents.
As was the case in the past,
Guyangcheon’s strength is too great to be left among children who are just starting to run.
Even among geniuses called the Meteor Generation.
Guyangcheon is like a burning fire that swallows everything.
Sooner or later, Jungwon will be filled with the name of Guyangchun.
It’s like an ocean that’s too huge to contain in a bowl, and eventually it’s bound to overflow.
In response to the chief’s question, Geomhu brought out an answer after a brief silence.
“I don’t think I can tell you.”
It seemed that Gu Yangchun wanted to keep this a secret.
The swordsman decided to do so.
“.. is it.”
“sorry.”
nope
Afterwards, the headmaster did not ask for an answer from the swordsman.
It was because the swordsman’s eyes showed the resoluteness that he would never say anything.
I’ll just be sorry
‘You show a lot of things, but you don’t show these things.
Where did the change come from?
The boss was curious about that.
“Now may I ask the host?”
The reason why Swordsman personally dragged himself to Hanam in the first place.
There was a reason why he ran nonstop while dragging bets.
“Yes, that was the reason you found me.”
“One day, the host said I owed it.”
“That’s right, because many people have been saved thanks to you.”
After being asked by the director to go to the Jinma Sutra, where no one else could go, the swordsmith risked his life alone to find it and solve it.
This was something that the swordsmith himself didn’t think made him indebted to the chief.
The head of the room was also trying to save many people.
However, for now, I had to bring up at least these old things.
“…Then I dare to ask.”
“Tell me.”
“The moderator is in the past. Do you remember when the leader of the Shinryongdae and the previous generation went to the Demonic Realm?”
“ ”
The chief kept his mouth shut at the words of the swordsman.
This was because the word was like a dagger stuck in the chest even to the head of the room.
Looking at the reaction of the head of the room, the swordsmith slowly asked a question.
“Does the headmaster know what the hell happened in the Demonic Realm of Taicheon?”
There are four of the largest types of demons known in the Central Plains.
Among them, Taecheon was the place with the least information and was also the place where Geomjon and Shinryongdae headed.
The chief nodded at the swordsman’s question.
“I know.”
Geomhu slightly bit his lip at the president’s affirmation. Because it’s something I didn’t want it to be.
“The reason you didn’t answer me when you asked me before was because it was something you didn’t have to deal with.”
“What is that…
” “I don’t know what you might have seen when you went to the Devil’s Realm. However, it is likely that what you have been to and what the swordsman saw are different.”
At the chief’s words, Geomhu recalled the huge tree that covered the sky that he had seen in the Devil’s Palace in the past.
For some reason, I didn’t have a complete memory, but it was definitely a tree.
A huge tree purplish tree that has rotted and dried up.
It was so huge that the branches towering above it covered the sky.
A dead tree with no leaves left and no vitality.
The world that Sword Hu saw was like that.
crumbling and rotting.
The word perish (滅亡) was the most appropriate world.
But do you mean that what the Sword Master and Shinryongdae saw were different?
‘Then, what did the Daeju say…?’
Goo Cheol-woon said as if he had seen the same thing.
But isn’t that what the host is saying now?
While the swordsman expresses the door .
The headmaster listened to the swordmaster again.
“I can’t say much.”
Q
“This is different from the bond or pact with the swordsman.”
Is it because he is like a goldsmith?
The swordsman said that, so I thought it was something different.
“The reason why the Swordsman went to the Demonic Realm. Do you know about this?”
He nodded his sword after hearing the chief’s words.
The reason why Swordsman went to the Demonic Realm was to save his daughter.
A lot of people thought it was for the sake of the cause.
Afterwards, the Shinryongdae, which headed for the Demonic Realm, suffered damage close to annihilation.
Those who barely survived took their own lives, except for a few.
after this happened.
Geomson came down from the position of leader.
The Murim Maeng, who was spreading the justification of investigating the Magician.
The investigation into the Demonic Realm is stopped.
In addition, it dismantles Shinryongdae, the main swordsmanship of the Maeng that has been in existence for centuries.
Swordsman wanted to know all the reasons for this.
“What you are curious about is not only the reason Geomjon went to Taecheon, but also the reason why Murimmaeng stopped direct investigation into the Devil’s Land…
‘
“It’s because there is a god in Taecheon’s Demonic Realm.’
Geomhu frowned at the chief’s words.
“What….
99
“Not only Taecheon. Even in other demons. God exists.”
“What the hell are you talking about, boss?”
it’s god
I wonder if it is the same as the other supreme people who believe in Taoism and Buddhism.
Let’s recall that the person who is speaking now is the master of Shaolin, who is said to be a child of Buddhahood.
It was such a strange story.
“If you don’t feel comfortable calling him God, it might be okay to call him the master.”
“The owner…? It is difficult for me to understand the president’s words.”
“Even if you don’t understand. There’s no word more accurate than that. The owner of a world… or the being that is the world itself. If you don’t call it God, what else can you call it?”
As he spoke, the host’s expression darkened considerably.
Then, as if he couldn’t speak any more, the host covered his mouth and coughed.
Took!
Blood splattered from the gap between the chief’s thin fingers.
“room…!”
In the blood, Geomhu hurriedly tried to approach the head of the room.
The headmaster raised his hand and restrained the swordsman’s actions.
“This is all I can say.”
“…
Seeing the host acting as if nothing had happened while wiping away the blood.
Swordsman couldn’t ask for more.
Hiding complicated thoughts, biting your lips, and getting rid of the cramped feeling.
“After the sword.”
“yes.”
“Don’t tell me.”
Q
“If a miracle has come to you, please don’t miss it.”
“Are you saying that it’s that difficult for me to know what to do?”
At the words of the swordsman, the master did not say anything.
The swordsman immediately knew that the director’s reaction was positive.
In the silence that eventually descended.
The head of the room and the swordsman had to share their gaze without speaking.
Time goes by.
One day before Guyangcheon was closed.
As always, Yangcheon Gu came out after finishing the training.
“ What are we going to do?”
I had to crumple my face when I saw Mo Yong-hee, who had not been seen for several days and then suddenly appeared.
That would be because Mo Yong-hee’s daughter said something nonsense.
“Did you not hear?”
“No, I think I heard it wrong.”
” Oh, I see.”
Mo Yong-hui nodded as if he had no choice but to speak kindly to Gu Yang-cheon once more.
Please stay with me tonight.”
Gu Yangchen’s eyebrows furrowed at the words with a grin.
And then I had to change my mind.
Crazy things around me say weird things. It wasn’t just once or twice.
As long as it wasn’t the old bitch days, I had to say something nice.
‘I’m sorry, but what do you mean by that?’
“go away.”
“?”
ah.”
Immediately after speaking, Gu Yangchen covered his mouth with his hand.
“… I changed my mind and said it.”
It was a mistake.
