Episode 109
yardstick
In his previous life, when he was Jincheonma, Jeong Gwang hated the political faction, Wurim.
This is because I thought they were hypocrites who only spoke bright words and fools who only talked about ideals without knowing reality.
However, after being reincarnated in Kunlun, his thoughts changed a lot.
The Kunlun Taoists were truly Taoist.
In addition, although it was not Jeong Gwang’s original intention, he had a good sense of reality thanks to constant training in the attacks of the Heavenly Demon Church.
‘I didn’t like how poor I was.’
However, when I came to the Central Plains, most of the prestigious political factions were not much different from the prejudices Jeong Gwang had in his previous life.
‘ah. Hebei Paengga is still okay. ‘Sacheondangga, Gyeongjae, and some others are also useful.’
I hadn’t experienced many people from different factions, but I could get a rough idea just by looking at their energy.
I expected it, but it didn’t feel that good.
Because it was unpleasant to be lumped together with those guys.
‘It’s better to be clumsy and cunning like those Namgung guys. ‘I don’t know what I’m doing.’
Unlike these sects, there were some pathetic sects, none other than the Shaolin Temple and the Shaman sect.
They were sacred sites for Buddhism and Taoism, respectively, and the Taesan North Tower of the Jungwon Murim, and were famous inscriptions that competed for supremacy in the nine factions, but in Jeong Gwang’s eyes, they were not good.
This did not refer to their martial arts skills but to their basic skills.
‘You’re acting like you’re something out of this world.’
I wasn’t saying I was arrogant.
They were extremely uninvolved in worldly affairs.
Those who were in the Murim Alliance were also just taking up their seats.
Sometimes, I just talk about basic things as if I’m floating around.
‘If you’re going to do that, why do you come down?’
The same was true for the middle school in front of me now.
Isn’t the nickname ‘High Dragon’?
He was not one inch different from the Shaolin monks Jeong Gwang had seen.
‘No, just look at how your hands are feeling.’
It was an unusually crowded doljung.
So I said it honestly.
This guy must have been dissatisfied.
“You’re expressing too much, Sohyeop.”
“hmm. Then wall and window?”
“… … “Are you arguing now?”
“yes? “Me?”
“It only seems that way.”
Instead of making excuses, Jeong Gwang turned to Baek Seung-moo and Zhao and asked.
“Priest, did I just start a fight with this person?”
“no.”
“What about Zhao? “What do you think?”
“You were the usual True Jade Dragon.”
Jeong-gwang looked at Gong-woo with an expression like that.
“Look. “It’s not true.”
“… … .”
Gongwu looked at Jeonggwang and his group in turn with a puzzled look.
And then I realized.
That they really think so.
This is probably because Jeong Gwang is that kind of person.
‘… … They say he’s rude and self-indulgent, but I feel like the rumors aren’t enough.’
Gongwoo decided to stop caring about Jeonggwang.
As a person cultivating, there was nothing good about getting close to someone like this.
“The monk was rude.”
“Of course.”
“… … Please proceed carefully.”
“Monk too.”
Jeong Gwang, who had been walking, suddenly stopped.
“ah. “I almost forgot.”
“… … ?”
“What are those people going to do?”
He was referring to the blood fusion methods that Gong Woo had pointed out about demon blood.
“Amitabha Buddha. “Shouldn’t we give him a chance to repent?”
Jeong Gwang sighed softly and then muttered.
“I knew I would be like this.”
“… … ?”
Jeong Gwang’s body shook slightly.
At the same time, the frozen Blood Soul Blades screamed and fell down.
Each person had one of their limbs broken.
“… … !”
Gongwoo’s eyes widened.

‘Wow, it can’t be this fast!’
I couldn’t see it properly, but I could feel it.
Jeong Gwang unfolded his divine law and returned after breaking the limbs of the blood soul bandits.
As much as I was shocked, my anger was intense.
‘I told you clearly. ‘Do something like this!’
His face, which had been calm until now, hardened.
It was as if he and Shaolin were ignored.
“Jinokryong. Why did you use poisonous water?”
“An eagle? “I did it lightly.”
“… … That’s not what you mean. Are you ignoring Hinayana and Shaolin now?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Didn’t you say that we should give them a chance to repent? Are you not a Taoist? “Do you have no will to reform?”
Jeong Gwang’s eyes widened slightly.
“gelation?”
“That’s right.”
Jeong Gwang looked at Gong Woo as if asking if he had something like this.
“No, those people? By what means?”
“Even if it’s hard, you have to try.”
“It’s easy if you don’t put in any effort.”
“… … This is something that must be done even if it is difficult. “If reformation fails, then you can punish them.”
Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“wow. “It feels like I’m talking to a wall.”
As we talked, it became clearer.
This bald man had to wake up to reality a little bit.
“wait a minute.”
Jeong Gwang asked Gong Woo’s understanding and then asked the people.
“If there is anyone who thinks they will repent, would you please raise your hand?”
No one heard it.
“You have a slightly broken limb. Do you have any sympathy for me?”
Neither the worshipers nor the Daedong disciples, anyone saw Jeong Gwang using his hands.
I was skeptical that Gongwoo of Shaolin Temple was like that.
‘… … Do you feel sympathy?’
People looked at the blood blend swords crumpled on the floor.
Soon, a refreshing light appeared in their eyes.
‘You vicious black swordsmen! It’s ugly!’
‘Soshinseon has punished me!’
The most frightening things for the powerless common people were officials and black people.
One of them ended up like that, so I was just thankful.
The Daedongmundos were similar.
‘That immortal person was the True Jade Dragon of Kunlun!’
‘It’s a feat to be able to deal with vicious guys so quickly that they can’t even be seen!’
Sympathy is shit.
Just a little while ago, I lost the home I had protected for a long time and almost died.
No matter how deep your Buddhist faith is, do you feel sympathy for the enemy who tried to kill you?
Of course, it might be possible for a Buddha, but there were no living Buddhas among them.
Whether they were worshipers or Daedong disciples, they just looked at Jeong Gwang with gratitude and did not even think about raising their hands.
“As expected, you don’t have one.”
Jeong Gwang muttered as if it was obvious and turned his gaze to Gong Woo.
“Did you see it?”
“… … .”
“Don’t trust anyone. Looking at your hands, you actually like it. It’s worth it. “It would be like that if it were me.”
“… … .”
Gongwoo, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth.
“… … It’s an excessive measure. “It would be too much to not give them even the slightest chance.”
“Did they give Daedongmun a chance? “They said they were trying to kill everyone.”
“… … still… … .”
“Do you think that if I release you, I will be moved and become a new person? “It’s obvious that you will be cruel to those who saw what happened today just because you lost face.”
“… … At that time, the Hinayana did not sit idly by and punished… … .”
“Don’t make promises if you don’t plan to continue living here. I was getting ready to leave soon. “Which of you, the monk or I, will be of help to Daedonghyeon?”
“… … but… … .”
Gongwoo tried to refute but trailed off.
It was because of Jeong Gwang’s pitiful look in his eyes.
In fact, Jeong Gwang wanted to punch Gong Woo.
‘The Shaolin I heard in my past life wasn’t to this extent. She was like this and she didn’t know I was like this?
If it stayed any longer, it seemed like it would hit multiple people instead of just one.
“monk. Do you know Yu Jeong-pung Sohyeop, the successor to openness?”
“… … “I have a face.”
“He said sacrificing oneself was a trick.”
“… … .”
“But the monk seems to think that sacrificing the weak and innocent is evil.”
“… … !”
“This is not Shaolin, so don’t think by Shaolin standards.”
Gongwoo’s eyes trembled slightly.
“If you’re going to impose standards that don’t fit the world, why don’t you just come down from the mountain?”
Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“If you keep doing this, you’ll leak me. “Please stop.”
He walked along with Baek Seungmu and Zhao.
The worshipers watched their backs and quietly put their hands together.
The same was true for Daedongmundo.
A complex light appeared in Gong Yu’s eyes as he saw this.
* * *
Jeonggwang and his party returned to Haenghwachunpung after touring Yeongamsa Temple and Ungang Grottoes.
It was already dark because so much time was wasted giving wishes to the common people.
Jeong Gwang ordered so many dishes and drinks that the table leg broke.
“ruler. Tomorrow we will leave for Odaesan Mountain. Since we skipped lunch, let’s eat and drink heartily.”
“yes! execution!”
“All right! True Jade Dragon!”
The dinner started with a strong answer, but… … .
Baek Seung-moo and Zhao only tried their hand at cooking and rarely drank alcohol.
It was the same even if Jeong Gwang recommended it.
‘They said they liked it because it was delicious. ‘Why is this happening all of a sudden?’
Why?
It was all because of the concentrate.
Baek Seung-moo and Zhao cried out inwardly, ignoring the scent wafting from the bus.
‘You can’t get drunk today! It gets dumped on the table again!’
‘If you make a mistake, you never know what will happen! Come on! ‘Don’t relax!’
Rather than being noisy, the meal was full of silence.
Originally, I was the type of person who didn’t like noise, but when it got this quiet, I lost my appetite.
“Once you’ve finished eating, get up.”
“Yes, death penalty. “Sleep soundly.”
“yes. Jinokryong. see you tommorow.”
Jeong Gwang caught them as they were about to say hello and go into their respective rooms.
“Where are you going?”
“… … yes?”
“… … I’m going to my room… … .”
Jeong Gwang waved his finger.
“I’ve become more relaxed now. “I have to practice.”
“… … !”
A whirlwind training session began.
When dawn came, Baek Seung-moo and Zhao fell to the floor, fainting.
Jeong Gwang looked at them and smiled slightly.
It was because the results were visible.
‘It just keeps getting better.’
The qualities of the two people were not bad.
Still, it was true that he was quite inferior compared to the disciples of the old group.
However, Baek Seung-moo’s fighting spirit and Zhao’s perseverance more than offset their shortcomings.
‘If you look closely, you two fit together well.’
Baek Seung-moo advances with fighting spirit, and Zhao makes a sneak attack with perseverance.
It didn’t seem like they would go well together as Jeongpa and Sapara, but when I thought about their personalities and martial arts, a pretty good picture came out.
‘Hmm. I think it would be useful. Should I give it a try?’
Inventing a new martial art was a good game.
After a while, Jeong Gwang nodded with a satisfied face at the results.
‘good. ‘Let’s roll.’
As the day dawned, Jeong Gwang sat on a chair in the back garden and enjoyed the dishes on the table.
Thanks to the two people warming it up, it was warmer than yesterday.
“Priest, what are you doing? Hurry up and eat. “Zao, please don’t gnaw and eat as much as you want.”
“… … Yes, death penalty.”
“… … I understand, Jinokryong.”
After eating, Jeong Gwang told the two to take out their weapons.
The two people were scared.
“Sir, is this really a sparring with the death penalty?”
“Well, if that’s the case, we can’t set off for Odaesan Mountain. “Shouldn’t you lie down for a few days?”
Jeong Gwang reassured them.
“The more you hit iron, the stronger it becomes.”
“… … “We are people.”
“… … “Please save me.”
Jeong Gwang reassured them once more.
“I’m trying to tell you something good. “I think you’ll really like it.”
Of course, the two people didn’t believe it.
This is Concentrate and no one else.
This was because what was ‘good’ by his standards could not be good by their standards.
“… … The death penalty may be inconvenient, but there is no need for it.”
“… … I think so too. ah. “Shall we bring some more meat?”
However, their expressions changed as they heard Jeong Gwang’s next words.
“It’s a good passing technique.”
“… … !”
“If you learn it well, you can catch the elder of the old file room.”
Baek Seung-moo and Zhao shouted at the same time.
“I’ll do it!”
Three days passed like that.
Every time the two fainted, they went back three days and dreamed of having their mouths sewn shut.
And on the fourth day.
Jeong Gwang and his party headed to Odaesan Mountain.
Of course, the training continued until we reached Odaesan Mountain.
With the screams of two people.
* * *
Odaesan Mountain was very beautiful yet strange.
As a famous Buddhist mountain, there were numerous temples, the most famous of which was Hyeontongsa Temple.
Jeong Gwang looked at Hyeontongsa Temple above and recalled what he had read in the book.
‘It is said that it was the second temple built by the great monks of Cheonchuk, Gaseop Ma-deung (迦葉摩騰) and Chukbeop-ran (竺法蘭), after they came to the central plains and established Baekmasa Temple in Luoyang.’
As it has a long history, there will be a lot to see.
I move forward with anticipation… … .
I felt the energy I had encountered not long ago.
However, the difference is that it is incomparably bigger than what it was then.
Curiosity appeared in Jeong Gwang’s eyes.
‘Are you the Shaolin who came to Hyantong Temple with Gong Yu?’
I looked up and checked and it was correct.
An old monk was looking down at Jeonggwang.
“Are you the True Jade Dragon of Kunlun?”
The voice was as loud as a bell ringing.
“But.”
“Nonap (old age) is called Buddha’s honor.”
“ah.”
Jeong Gwang looked at the old monk with surprised eyes.
Buljon is one of the Ten Lords and is considered the strongest warrior in the martial arts world!
… … It was not because of this, but because the old monk’s appearance did not suit the nickname Buddha.
‘No matter how you look at it, it looks like a power company in the market.’
A mass of muscle so massive that it would fit into a monk’s uniform.
Who would believe that that old man is a monk!
Jeong Gwang could not contain his curiosity and asked.
“Infinite Buddha. “How much meat do you eat a day?”
“… … Amitabha Buddha. “I don’t eat it.”
“no way. Nonsense. “I don’t eat meat, so what happens to my body?”
“… … .”
“Well, good luck anyway.”
Jeong Gwang walked past the Buddha.
Seungmoo Baek and Zhao followed carefully.
Buddha looked at their backs with a puzzled expression.
‘Huh… … .’
However, despite his supreme position as the Ten Lords, he did not seem particularly upset.
‘It’s just as Gongwoo said. ‘Isn’t this guy so unconventional that he looks crazy?’
then… … .
I’ll have to find out a little more.
The new form of Buddha has disappeared.
martial arts,
