Episode 111
greeting
Buljon said he would tell an interesting story, and he did.
However, the listeners were not only bored but even drowsy.
Because it was a fun story only by the standards of Buddhism.
Only Gongwoo was listening with a serious expression, but to others it seemed like pretense.
Well, considering the Buddha’s enormous muscles, I guess it has to be because of his survival instinct.
Still, the Buddha’s voice was as loud as a bell ringing, so everyone was able to avoid falling asleep.
I wish my voice was quieter so I could at least fall asleep.
Finally, Jeong Gwang could not stand it anymore and came forward.
“Zen Master. “It’s not fun and it’s just noisy.”
“… … !”
Everyone thought they were hallucinating.
Even if you say it with a grain of salt, isn’t it too rude?
‘… … No. If it’s the death penalty… … .’
‘… … If it’s a true jade dragon, that’s okay, cancer.’
Baek Seung-moo and Zhao, who had been trained by Jeong Gwang, shook their heads and then suddenly stopped.
At the same time, their faces turned pale.
‘crazy!’
‘No matter what, this isn’t it!’
Still, Buddha was Buddha.
He still had a calm expression, not deserving of the star rating.
I let out a small sigh of relief… … .
‘What is this energy?’
‘damn. ‘You deserve to be upset.’
When I barely rolled my eyes, I saw that Gongwu’s monk’s robe was fluttering as if it had been blown by the wind.
It created internal energy.
‘The author of Jinokryong dares!’
Gong Yu could not forgive Jeong Gwang, who had committed such unbelievable disrespect towards Sajo.
However, I had to suppress my anger at the gesture of Buddha’s hand.
Buljon, who smiled, turned his gaze and spoke to Jeong Gwang.
“He was talking quietly and quietly.”
“That ‘in its own way’ is the problem.”
“Except for the voice, then. Be honest. “Wasn’t it quite fun?”
“… … “Are you serious?”
“hmm. “I guess I felt bored because I didn’t understand what was being said.”
Jeong Gwang looked at the Buddha with an absurd expression.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed sincere.
“ha. “Let me summarize it briefly.”
From Jeong Gwang’s mouth, the stories that Buddha said flowed out.
It was a long time ago, the history of Jungwon.
“… … When Li Se-min, the son of Li Yeon, who rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, was in danger in battle, Shaolin Temple monks appeared and rescued him. Later, when his family overthrew the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, Li Se-min, who became Emperor Taizong, gave all kinds of benefits to Shaolin Temple.”
The benefits were not ordinary benefits either.
He lowered official positions and allowed the organization and training of monks.
He announced that he would freely enjoy meat and alcohol, and that he would not be blamed if he committed murder.
All of this was included in an edict and engraved on a monument, but it felt too excessive for a reward.
“… … Such great gifts… … “After receiving things she didn’t want, Shaolin became extremely self-respectful.”
Shaolin Temple was a temple dedicated to Buddha.
I did not accept such excessive pleasures and rights, thinking they were nice.
“… … Still, it was a waste to reject so many field workers and slaves… … I couldn’t have refused. “Because we had to save face for Emperor Taizong of Tang.”
“I told you clearly, but you forgot to free all the slaves.”
“I heard that most of them became tenant farmers because they had nowhere to go.”
“There is a clear difference between slaves and tenant farmers.”
“but. If it’s true that he’s still with Sorim, it looks like Daewoo’s treatment was harsh. Anyway, so… … .”
Shaolin, which was given enormous wealth, land, and the right to practice martial arts without fear, developed at a remarkable pace.
This had a great influence on other schools of thought as well.
In short, my stomach hurt.
‘If Shaolin does that, why can’t we?’
Everyone lined up for the imperial family and the coffin.
I paid a bribe and received even greater benefits.
The blind nation’s money began to overflow into the martial arts world, and naturally the martial arts power grew day by day.
But did you say it’s flowerless and eleven red?
There is nothing permanent in this world.
The Tang Dynasty fell and a new country came into being.
The choice of the martial arts faction was obvious.
“… … Everyone was trying to line up with the new royal dynasty. “There are too many competitors, so they fight amongst themselves.”
The newly founded Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation.
By distributing benefits, they incited fights between the martial arts factions.

When Murim came to his senses later, they were completely devastated.
“… … Still, I’m glad it wasn’t just idiots. Realizing that this would lead to simultaneous destruction, Murim came to an agreement. I decided not to have anything to do with the imperial family or crown. Well, the imperial family was disappointed, but she decided it was better to stop at that point. “If we shake things up more, the only thing that will happen is a rebellion.”
“right. “This is the beginning of the unwritten rule that government and martial arts do not interfere with each other.”
When Buljon nodded and agreed, Jeong Gwang frowned.
“But this. It is widely known in the world and most people know it. “Why are you talking so long?”
“The real thing starts now.”
Jeong Gwang opened his mouth wide.
No, if you’re going to do that, you should have done it a long time ago. What are you doing?
‘This damn old man! ‘Aren’t you trying to solve this today because you don’t have anyone to talk to?’
Regardless of Jeonggwang’s increasing distrust, Buddha continued to speak.
“For that reason, Moorim stayed away from Gwan. However, with the arrival of this royal family, another problem arose.”
The new imperial dynasty, which had pushed out the foreign Mongols and occupied the central plains, did its best to calm the public sentiment.
This is because they received considerable help from xie jiao in founding a new country, and the common people turned against them.
It was a story Jeong Gwang was familiar with.
‘Those cult bastards. One branch of our church split off, and it turned out badly.’
The new imperial dynasty struck down the xie jiao who had helped them.
They were completely annihilated.
It was a method of killing two birds with one stone: eliminating forces that threatened the imperial power and attracting public sentiment.
“… … But that wasn’t enough.”
“of course. Anyone can see that it’s Tosagupin.”
“okay. So they used a new method.”
It was none other than supporting Buddhism and Taoism.
It was a natural decision since these were religions that had been rooted in the common people for a long time.
“As a representative, excessive benefits were given to the headquarters and the non-partisan faction.”
“iced coffee. “Give a little to Kunlun too.”
“… … “That’s right.”
“Is that what you wanted to talk about anyway?”
“What do you mean?”
“As Shaolin and shamans, we cannot refuse because of the emperor’s respect. If I accept it, it’s obvious that other clans will be jealous. Well, I had no choice but to receive it in the end, so I had to stay quiet and not show up. Something like this.”
“… … “It’s a bit strange to express it, but you know it well.”
“But when does the interesting story come out?”
“From now on.”
“Can I really trust you?”
“So much time has passed. The head office and the shaman stayed secluded in the mountains and worked on cultivation. I heard that there were many people at headquarters who were happy and said it was a good opportunity. “Because it was something that suited the duties of a monk.”
“Hey, Master.”
“But. “Everyone got so stuck.”
Jeong Gwang, who was about to express his dissatisfaction, clapped his hands and agreed.
“and! “I mean!”
“The world is full of monks who stay in the mountains, read Buddhist scriptures, and practice meditation. Why would we learn martial arts? It’s for writing. “It is not just about keeping one’s body healthy, but also about helping those in need in the world.”
“If you know, why don’t you do it?”
“… … This is just my opinion. “Others are different.”
Buddha paused for a moment and smiled hollowly.
“There is only one thing I am worried about. The current Shaolin is too biased to one side. “To the point where I can’t even think about looking at the other side.”
For a moment, the Buddha’s eyes lit up.
“After thinking about it for a long time, I heard about you from Gongwoo. “You saved lives and offered blessings, but this guy did nothing but show off.”
Gongwoo was about to say something with a red face, but Jeonggwang was faster.
“That’s right. “It was really frustrating.”
“okay. “I think it would be perfect to combine you and the guys from headquarters and split them in half.”
“Are you swearing at me?”
“Is that possible?”
Buddha’s expression became solemn.
“It’s only been a short time, but after watching you, I have come to believe that your way will not harm the helpless and good people.”
“You have discernment. After all, you are not a Buddha for nothing.”
“… … “That’s why.”
“yes.”
“Let’s go to Shaolin together.”
“yes? Why is the conversation suddenly happening like that?”
“I do it because I want to show the guys at headquarters that there are people like you. “It will benefit you too.”
“What is it?”
“There is a saying, ‘A worker under heaven will come out of the sky.’ Don’t you want to see Shaolin? Even places that others can’t go into.”
It was a famous saying that all martial arts in the world came from Shaolin.
The fact that it gives you a chance to get insight into a secret place is something that would kill any ordinary warrior.
But Jeong Gwang was not an ordinary warrior.
“no.”
“… … “Do you not know the meaning of Shaolin, who will study all over the world?”
“The Shaolin martial arts were taught by Master Bodhidharma who came from heaven. “It is correct to say that it is the Sharim that came out of the middle of nowhere, not the Sharim that came out of the world.”
“… … That’s true, but… … .”
“Wouldn’t it be great if you could watch Cheonchuk martial arts, or Jungwon martial arts…?” … .”
“You might think so.”
When Buddha nodded obediently, Jeong Gwang organized the matter.
“Are you finished speaking now? Priest, Zhao. “Please bring some more alcohol and meat.”
“yes? yes yes. Okay, death penalty.”
Unlike Baek Seung-moo, who was shocked and flustered, Zhao was already running to order.
Soon, new dishes and bottles of alcohol were spread out on the table.
“ruler. “Let’s get started.”
Jeong Gwang spoke excitedly and rolled up his sleeves.
At that moment, Buddha, who was wondering how to persuade Jeong Gwang, his eyes lit up.
The Four Buddha Pillar (邪佛珠) strapped to Jeong Gwang’s wrist. In other words, it was because he saw half a Buddha.
“… … “Isn’t that an anti-demon spell?”
At the same time, Jeong Gwang’s eyes also sparkled.
Before he knew it, he had put down his drink and was sitting next to the Buddha.
“Is this name Hangmaju?”
“… … Yes.”
“iced coffee. Is that the original name? “It’s better to listen to than Sabulju.”
Jeong Gwang shook his head and asked.
“What is the exact effect? How do you use it?”
“I do not know.”
“no way. You are hurt. I apologize. So, please tell me.”
Baek Seung-moo and Zhao’s faces turned white again.
Isn’t it possible that even a heart that wasn’t broken will be broken?
But after all, Buddha was Buddha.
“I really don’t know. “I just saw it drawn in the book the priest was studying.”
Jeong Gwang stared at the Buddha.
And soon I became convinced.
‘It’s not a lie.’
So that means the Shaolin Temple knows something about this… … .
‘Should I just use it like this?’
I thought it might have been because I didn’t want to say sorry to the Buddha, but when I thought about it, it seemed like a waste.
‘I felt it when I struck Eungsami, but when I use my magic attack strongly, my magic power is revealed.’
I didn’t know if I could solve this problem by going to Shaolin.
‘What is it?’
Anyway.
Isn’t giving and receiving the way of the world?
As a bonus, I also got to see Shaolin.
Jeong Gwang spoke patronizingly.
“Master. Shall we make a deal?”
Buddha understood right away.
“It’s okay to call it a deal, but let’s just help each other.”
“I will believe it.”
“Don’t believe me either.”
The two people who looked at each other, saying they believed each other, nodded at the same time.
“Good. Don’t wait outside. “Sleep well and come out tomorrow morning.”
Buljon was about to get up from his seat, but Jeong Gwang stopped him.
“Master, wait a moment. “We need to discuss it in detail.”
“… … Detailed discussion?”
“How many days should I stay in Shaolin?”
“… … Well, that’s fine. Until enough is enough?”
“If you do it in such a haphazard way, you’ll only end up getting discouraged later on. “Let’s take a maximum of five days.”
“… … “15 days.”
“I will make a big concession. Seven weeks. “Okay?”
“… … “I guess so.”
“Now we have to discuss the meal issue. “I don’t like eating alone.”
“… … so?”
“I will hunt and eat in the mountains.”
“… … “It is not allowed within the headquarters premises.”
“Are you saying we can go deep into the mountain?”
“… … Amitabha Buddha.”
“I’m glad you feel refreshed. Then this too was resolved. What else was there… … ah!”
The Buddha’s eyes trembled at Jeong Gwang’s words.
“Now that we’re part of the group, we can’t sleep in the open. I pay. You can claim it from Shaolin later. “Are you okay?”
“… … “Are you talking about just me and Gongwoo’s share?”
“This part of your calculations is secretly secular. Okay, then. Priest, did you hear?”
“… … yes.”
“Write down everything thoroughly.”
Baek Seung-moo bowed his red face and answered.
“… … All right.”
Several more discussions took place after that.
After everything was finished, the sky became dark.
They stayed in Haenghwachon for a day and ate a large meal as soon as daybreak.
I also invited Buljon and Gongwoo to join us.
“Wow. Master, you are really enjoying it. “Do you have that much beef?”
“Didn’t I say I only eat vegetables?”
Buddha answered lightly and stood up.
“I’m full, so let’s go.”
“yes.”
Unlike before, the five people moved as a group.
Jeong Gwang, who was walking, soon mumbled.
“It’s a bit difficult to actually go.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s too far.”
“… … Soon. And wasn’t it the same old file room? “Think of it as just saying hello.”
When Jeong Gwang heard the Buddha’s ‘greeting’, one person came to mind.
‘That bastard, it would have been time to say hello by now. Are you trying to do well?’
* * *
A pavilion of Sima Lian in Hunan Province.
A middle-aged man sitting in a fancy chair looked at the person in front of him and said.
“You suddenly appeared without any news.”
“I’m sorry, Master. “For some reason, I couldn’t send you a letter and I’ve been working tirelessly.”
Sang So-un must have been in a hurry as he said.
His behavior worse than that of a beggar proved that fact.
The middle-aged man who was looking at that scene inwardly clicked his tongue.
‘Are you leaving one of your hands? furthermore… … .’
Even the atmosphere changed.
Even without asking, I had a rough guess.
“I failed.”
“That’s right. Rather… … .”
Sang So-un blinked his cloudy eyes and spoke in a dry voice.
“I have something urgent to tell you.”
“Say it.”
Sang So-un, who was kneeling on the floor of the spacious pavilion, stood up.
And then I walked towards the middle-aged man.
“This Confucius. “Stop!”
The soldiers around him drew their weapons and tried to stop him, but they stopped moving at the middle-aged man’s hand gesture.
Sang So-un, ignoring the reactions of those around him, came right in front of the middle-aged man, raised his left arm, the wrist of which had been cut off, and stabbed the middle-aged man in the mouth.
“Eat this!”
It was a stab with all his might that did not match the absurd shout.
however.
Suddenly.
“Wow!”
Sang So-un’s left arm was cut off starting from the shoulder.
square.
“Ouch!”
The right arm also did the same.
Sigh.
“Aaaah!”
It was the same with both legs.
“Khehehe… … .”
Sang So-un was writhing on the floor with his limbs cut off.
“I thought there was something strange… … Foolish guy. “I can’t believe I was attacked by magic.”
The middle-aged man stood up after shaking off the blood from his sword.
He looked down at Sang So-yun with vague eyes and asked.
“Who hit you? “Are you a demon from the Heavenly Demon Church?”
“Lord, it’s my master… … Hehehe.”
“… … “What did you tell me to do?”
“I was told to say hello to the rat of Sima Lian with my arm.”
“… … and?”
The person who performed the magic trick may have done it on purpose, but the identity is hidden and the rest is clearly disclosed.
It was a bad thing for a middle-aged person.
“Stop freaking out, you bastard…” … Ugh.”
martial arts,
