Chronicles of the Demon Faction Chapter 318

Episode 318. The aesthetics of seizing (8)

Most of the crowd that had followed to the entrance of Songshan had disappeared.

It was because of the request of Nahandangju Jeonggak. People quickly disappeared after being asked not to cause any further disturbance, as Songshan is already in a dizzy enough state.

Thanks to this, only his party was left there, excluding Jeonggak and Xu Liang.

Jung-gak said to Ma Dong-pil.

“You don’t have to worry about Seo So-gyo’s safety. Even though Tae Sa-baek is the head of the head office, he has no prejudice.”

Xiliang meekly accepted the proposal of the Grand Master Chisong.

Of course, the group couldn’t help but be anxious. It is clear that Xiliang is a master with few people in the world to deal with, but isn’t this the Shaolin Temple, which is said to be the sacred place of the righteous Murim?

Jeong-gak understood the feelings of the party well and tried not to make them anxious.

As long as Tae Sa Baek came out, they were also Shaolin’s guests. Jeonggak’s sincerity was a natural courtesy for guests.

Of course, I was also worried that they might start a riot. So Jeong-gak did not return to the mountain temple.

Gogu said.

“The veterans of the Jeongwu Twins are respected by Madou and Sapa. Not because their martial arts are outstanding, but because they know their character.”

“Amituofo.”

“Among them, I heard that Kwon Seon-bae is a living Buddha who has never used water on an evil villain in the rarest era. That’s why I’m not worried about the young master.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“but.”

Gogu glanced at Ma Dongpil.

Ma Dong-pil did not participate in the conversation. I just watched the path that Seo Liang and Jeoksong walked with deep eyes.

“You can trust the Great Master Jeoksong, but don’t tell me to trust Shaolin. It is not easy to resolve the relationship between the demons and the spirits, which have been in conflict for hundreds of years, because of one unsalted martial god.”

“I think so too. That’s why I think Sogyo is great.”

It means that Xi Liang changed the perception of the Heavenly Demon Goddess by touring the central plains.

In other words, Ambassador Jeoksong was also a great person, so it was emphasized once again by turning the meaning that you can be relieved.

“Do not escort.”

“… … .”

“Do not escort!”

Dongpil Ma glanced back at Gogu.

Kogu, who was about to open his mouth, was silent for a moment. Ma Dong-pil’s eyes looking at him were very deep.

“Are you okay?”

“yes.”

“What are you thinking?”

Ma Dong-pil made a terrifying remark in a calm voice.

“I am thinking about how to deal a fatal blow to Shaolin and whether there is a place to aim for an opening.”

Everyone looked at Ma Dong-pil in surprise.

Jeonggak’s expression hardened.

“What atrocious… … .”

“I am the minor teacher’s escort. If, by any chance, there is a problem with the young schoolmaster’s identity, I will kill all of you who aimed swords at the young schoolmaster and commit suicide.”

“… … .”

“Never mind, just keep on talking.”

Make them care as they are and don’t care. People became dumb and drank honey and only looked at each other.

When Ma Dong-pil turned around again, Geum-ho and King Ho, who were sitting in the back of the carriage, approached and knelt down next to him.

Gogu let out a deep sigh.

‘Everyone seems to be becoming a monster.’

* * *

“How are you? Isn’t the scenery very nice?”

A peak not far from the eastern entrance of Songshan.

It’s not high, and it doesn’t look particularly distinctive. It seemed like a difficult road to find even for those who are fairly familiar with the mountain.

“I never thought of leaving the headquarters. You wouldn’t know how pleasant it is to hear the sound of Buddhist scriptures spreading through the mountain temple and the shouts of children’s spirits.”

Sitting on a spacious flat and looking down at the mountain, the face of the Great Master Jeoksong looked very refreshing.

“Still, the reason why I live apart is because I don’t want to influence them.”

It was a conversation that started out of nowhere.

Standing next to the bench with his arms crossed, Xu Liang listened to the words of the Great Master with an expressionless face.

“As people get older, they inevitably become narrow-minded, so the moment you want to know the way the world works, you mistakenly believe you have mastered the world.”

“… … .”

“I am a person who is obsessed with martial arts more than Buddha. If I had fully surrendered to Buddha Law, I would have been able to correct many of the mistakes I had made.”

“… … .”

“That’s why it came off. I didn’t want to have a bad influence on the children who worshiped such a half-assed monk as a legend. No matter how Kang Ho views Shaolin, Shaolin is still Shaolin. The reason why the great ancestor Dharma made the Yeokgeunsesugyeong (易筋洗隨經) was not to make him good at punching.”

“so.”

Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.

“You mean that Shaolin has also fallen away from Kanghu, just as Mr. Roh left the head office? Do you think she will be adversely affected?”

The Redsong Ambassador burst into laughter.

“Do you enjoy grain tea?”

It didn’t answer the question.

Seo Liang nodded.

“Wait a little. I’ll treat you to my delicious gokcha.”

Ambassador Jeoksong entered the residence and came out with a large bottle and a tray topped with two bowls.

“Fermentation went well. It’s perfect for serving guests.”

Xu Liang, who was looking at the glass, glanced at the ambassador.

“How come you’re glancing at me with those bewildering eyes?”

“Is it okay for monks to drink alcohol?”

“Didn’t I tell you, I’m in the middle of nowhere. If you’re a nerd, you should live like a nerd.”

Isn’t that too bold?

The face of Jeoksong Ambassador, who proudly said that he would break the precept of no drinking, looked quite happy. At first glance, even his greed for alcohol was visible.

He was a strange person in many ways.

“Here, have a drink.”

Xu Liang emptied the bowl at once.

A look of pity appeared on the ambassador’s face.

“A guy who doesn’t know how to drink. You have to savor the aroma and taste slowly… … .”

“It tastes good.”

“Huh! It has to be. For thirty years he devoted himself to making grain tea. It can’t be tasteless.”

It was said that he had been drinking for thirty years. It was an impression that was quite far from the authority he had heard through rumors.

Ambassador Jeoksong said with a hearty laugh.

“At first, I made a lot of bizarre works. you guys are lucky In two heavens, that bastard had to drink nasty grain tea that even bugs wouldn’t stray from.”

Xi Liang’s eyes shone.

“I heard it before, do you know the headmaster?”

“Everyone knows. We weren’t close.”

Ambassador Jeoksong emptied the bowl halfway.

Even Seo Liang’s face turns red from a sip of alcohol even though he has built up a high level of martial arts that makes his eyes dark. It was unknown whether it was because he had released the energy that suppressed his drunkenness or if it was his constitution.

“I knew from the first time I saw him that this guy would definitely become a monster. I thought that maybe he was a guy who might become a demon comparable to the first Heavenly Demon (初代天魔), who is evaluated as unprecedented.”

Seo Liang could see the surprise he felt at the time in the eyes of the Great Master Jeoksong.

I’m joking, but the first time I saw Lee Cheon-sang, I was shocked. He must have been ignorant even in his youth, given his unhuman abilities.

“So I thought. Should I pluck it out now? Should I, who have never sprayed water on an evil species that is criticized by everyone, should I spray water on this guy?”

“Did you make a decision between life and death?”

“no.”

“Why did you do that?”

The Red Prince laughed out loud.

“I didn’t have the confidence to win even if I spread the spray. The guy was really great. He thought that I, who was revered for being invincible, might be the first to die.”

“… … .”

“Maybe right now, you’re looking down on the world from a much higher place than me.”

Although he laughs profusely, likes to drink, and does not use polite speech even in empty words.

Seo Ryang felt deep and profound goodness from Master Jeoksong.

Although he prides himself on being more obsessed with martial arts than Buddhist teachings, he did not let go of the teachings of Buddhism. I don’t know if it’s because of his natural nature or constant self-discipline, but he was definitely a great man worthy of everyone’s praise.

So, Xi Liang couldn’t understand it any more.

“Doesn’t Shaolin pursue the great victory?”

“Not necessarily. But it’s usually like that.”

“But how can you stay still even though the Uicheon Meng has changed?”

Ambassador Jeoksong drank the bowl without a word.

Coolly emptying the bowl, he held out a glass to Xu Liang. Xi Liang filled his glass.

After emptying the bowl once again, Ambassador Jeoksong’s face became red.

“I heard what you said earlier. Shaolin’s problem is as serious as the one at stake?”

“It was.”

“Don’t you think that statement is too harsh?”

Xie Liang nodded her head obediently.

“Admit it.”

“yes. Shaolin has its own problems. And to the children who are taught by the head office, Shaolin is a small and humble place.”

“I know.”

“Still, do you think the head office should go about the world?”

“Of course.”

“Even though it’s clear that the children will get hurt?”

Seo Liang shook his head.

“Do not try to obscure the point by forcibly misinterpreting my words. Shaolin has only Shaolin’s responsibility, and now Shaolin does not take that responsibility. That is all I want to say.”

“Little Demon Dragon.”

“Tell me.”

“If you do, I will ask. What responsibility do you have to try to stabilize the world? What do you really want? Are you saying that in your heart that wishes for the well-being of the world, there is absolutely no evil intention?”

“… … .”

“Tell Shaolin what you really want, not what you want.”

Unless you tell me your true purpose, I won’t engage in deep conversation either.

Seo Liang, who had been looking at Master Jeoksong calmly, spoke calmly.

“To kill the Uicheon Lord.”

The Red Master’s eyes deepened.

“Moreover, I hope that all the great leaders who have rotted along with him die.”

“Why?”

“There are several reasons. If I have to pick one thing besides my personal grudge, it’s because Jung-sama needs to be balanced for the midfield to be at least a little peaceful.”

“How can a person carrying a demon in his heart wish for peace?”

“freedom.”

“… … .”

“I want peace, because I want to live freely in the world.”

I didn’t know that such an answer would come out. The eyes of the ambassador Jeoksong, who were infinitely deep, were surprised.

“Did you get an answer?”

Master Jeoksong, who had been quietly watching Seo Liang, soon smiled.

“Get me a drink.”

He said in a serious voice, filling a bowl of rice.

“It was an unexpected answer, but I could read your strong sincerity.”

“Because it is true.”

“know. so it’s amazing No matter how strong I am, it is clear that you are a monk who has enemies in Shaolin, but you manage to reveal your true intentions.”

Ambassador Jeoksong emptied his cup and continued.

“If you can clear up one more question, I will tell you why Danggeum Shaolin can’t compete in the stronghold. In addition, as you said, I will persuade the director to take responsibility for Shaolin once again.”

To what extent can this be considered to have achieved its goal?

“Ask a question.”

“Why does the scent of Shaolin’s martial arts vibrate in your magic arts?”

“… … ?”

“Why do you see traces of the dark spirit in your vicious demonic art?”

“… … !!”

Woo woo woo.

The pupils of Master Jeoksong were covered with a subtle golden glow.

“You bastard, what is your true identity?”
