Episode 43. Cause and effect, emptiness and emptiness (8)
―Now, where are the fruits of your efforts? If not really gone, where would it be!
A series of filial piety and hye-gwang-sim-eo shook my mind and body.
“Check my status bar… … .”
Why did you do that?
A murmur leaks out.
whiz-.
A status window that overlaps Hyo-Ki-Shim’s face in an instant along with a familiar sound.

Disadvantages in case of failure: Random deletion of one of the existing spiritual objects
Why did you… … I do not know yet.
― Yeah, how are you? Can you see the fruits of your efforts?
The face of filial piety, or more precisely, my pupils toward the translucent status window superimposed on it trembled.
Only dry lips clatter.
It took quite a while for my lips to open again.
At some point, the sun that had set in Seosan disappeared and the oblique half-moon light cast an oblique shadow on half of Hyo-ki-sim’s face.
Again and again.
When did this happen?
The sweat on his forehead, no, his entire body, wet his dry lips.
Is it thanks?
Is it easier to talk now?
“I am… … I am… … .”
My mouth finally opened.
“I am still a cripple. From now on, I will be a disabled person until the day I die.”
You can’t even advance martial arts anymore, like that.
“but.”
Around the time when the moonlight passed through Hyo-ki-sim’s right eye and nose and passed over his left mouth.
Finally my eyes were fixed on his eyes, philtrum, and a few blood vessels.
Is it luck? Is it fate?
[Mission], Lv., and Evolution potential were embedded on top of those dots.
“I found it. How to not have to run away from my life.”
– Is that so?
“Aren’t you asking?”
“Clack cluck.”
Hyo-ki-sim’s mouth leaked kalan-ka and red-so. Then the chains collided merrily with Karanka.
“If you have confirmed that you are right, isn’t it enough to move forward?”
“I don’t think that’s right.”
“Is that so? Then you are probably right.”
“… … .”
“You are not clever, but you are almost always right.”
“How do you know?”
“I heard, I saw, I felt.”
“… … Is it the supernatural ability of Hye-Kwang Sim-Eo?”
“It is true.”
“… … .”
“Why do you want to learn?”
“I would be lying if I said no.”
“It’s nice to be honest.”
Then, filial piety took out a pill the size of a nukaldanggwa (candy) from his bosom and held it out.
“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to swallow it, but if you want to learn Huiguangxian, you must swallow it. That way, we can move on to a deeper story.”
A deeper story… … .
“By the way, I ate it when I was learning Huiguangshim’s language.”
I looked at the medicine handed to me and held it lightly.
‘huh?’
do you breathe?
I’m not sure if the expression is accurate, but the illusion was definitely pulsating. Was it beating like the heart of a creature?
Ominous, mysterious, or mysterious.
‘A deeper story… … .’
What is it? Well, maybe it’s the next step to learning Huiguangshim’s language.
The worry didn’t last long.
Anyway, the choice I’m going to make has been decided.
If filial piety had tried to kill me, he would have killed me the moment I entered the absolute prison without telling him all of his thoughts.
Kkwaak, I gripped the short medicine tightly.
I could feel the round illusion that was about to jump out of my hand.
Soon, I just put it in my mouth.
Then, without hesitation, he swallowed it.
gulp.
● ● ●
uh? uh!
I didn’t even open a [warehouse]… … ?
shoot-.
The landscape began to change.
‘[Heo Gong-rok]?’
No, no.
A lot of things were different back then.
[Heo Gong-rok] Inside… … .
It was my world.
whether it’s real or not Be it dreams or real history. Only the time zone was different, it was my story and my point of view.
The fields, the sky, everything was my world, and the people I met were all my ties.
I looked around… … Tried to look around, but she didn’t get it.
It was just a matter of understanding the surroundings.
A wide gym.
There, hundreds of people who could only see that they were in the middle of cooking and cooking were practicing the same herbivore technique.
Among them, I was also swinging a stick that reached one sheet.
To be more precise, isn’t it ‘me’?
‘Cause I’ve never been
is it a dream?
Looking at the over twenty stone pagodas over there, it seems like a dream come true.
I’ve never seen anything like it.
But I have never imagined the current scene.
Although I have never been there, many monks practice at the gymnasium, and through that training, the place is crowded with monks who have learned extreme martial arts.
It is a Buddhist temple that commands the whole world, but it is also a sacred place for martial arts.
‘Couldn’t it be?’
I wanted to check it out, but I couldn’t.
It was a dream, I was someone else.
[Heo Gong-rok] Unlike before, my body was acting with my own thoughts, not my own.
huh? thought?
Strangely, even though it is not ‘me’, the senses and thoughts are vividly felt.
Is it like a real past life experience?
How many generations ago was I a monk in my previous life?
at that time.
right!
“Ah!”
A star spun around his head, and a short, clear voice spewed out.
young voice.
I guess I was very young.
“Yonsuk-ah, what are you thinking! Isn’t everything wrong!”
My uncontrolled head returned to the source of the pain.
A monk with sharply raised eyes and drooping lips, looking benevolent and frightening on the other hand, was looking at me.
“Tsk tsk, so where can I start planting?”
‘Planted?’ The words of ‘I’ have now been added to my own self-talk.
“Ha, I can!”
Now, the lips of ‘I’ twitched again.
“I will definitely reproduce the Hui Guangxin language!”
huh? Hye Kwang Shim?
‘no way?’
At that moment, the scenery changed again.
heightened vision. I feel like I’ve grown taller in an instant.
At the same time, you can feel the cool wind passing through your bare hair. It was because I was moving fast through space.
“Haaaaah!”
are you fighting?
f*ck! right! Parbat! Kwajak!
It was.
I held up a stick and let out a clear voice that sounded like someone in their twenties and defeated the opposing monks.
As much as the heightened field of view, as much as the wind coldly brushes the skin.
Bongsul that reached Cheonuimubong.
‘As far as sticking skills go… … .’
Maybe even higher than the cheonbyeong-Gwi.
‘I’ was very strong.
Eventually, when all the monks were defeated, the surrounding scenery came into view.
About 100 solid, middle-aged or elderly monks in red robes surrounded the surroundings.
Roh Moo-seung, who seemed to be the strongest among them, stared intently at ‘me’.
Good luck. It was a terrifying look that would probably have taken me back a couple of steps if I had controlled my body.
“Tong.”
container? did you pass? what?
“You are one hundred and eight Arhats from today.”
When I look up at the sky, the corner of my mouth goes up. Then, the monks’ low murmurs were heard.
“Is it the birth of Shaolin’s youngest 100 Eight Arhats?”
Although I couldn’t control it myself, I just shrugged my shoulders… … .
“In ten years, Hyo-hyo, this Dharma name will shake the world.”
what’s the effect
… … However, the surrounding characters and customs were distorted and unfolded again.
This time, the smell of old wood and moth pricked my nose.
‘The Janggyeonggak of Shaolin Temple… … is it?’
‘I’, no, no.
I was sure now.
That this is not a dream, but a memory of filial piety.
He read all the books he could find. Of course, I also read it. Although it was unintentional, [translation/interpretation] and [speed reading] were steadily working even while I was sharing all of his senses.
In the meantime, he found a slightly misaligned floor stone in a corner of Janggyeonggak. When the stone was lifted, there was a small space, in which was a dusty book.
The old, slightly faded book was blank. Of course, it wasn’t for me.
Hyo Ki-sim asked a monk who was managing Janggyeonggak.
“Sahyung, do you know what this is?”
“That’s the recipe.”
“How to eat? But I could read all the recipe papers here, but not this one?”
“It’s an undecipherable recipe, so no one in the world can read it, not just you.”
“mi… … Is it a detox method?”
“When it was there, who made it, how it can be read, and no one has been able to find out the contents or identity.”
pounding!
plugged in I was sure.
Since I was now sharing his filial piety, all his senses. No, more strictly, it was filial piety itself.
“Are there more of these?”
“Perhaps a few are hidden under the stone supports, or some of the bookshelf’s bases are undeciphered recipe papers.”
The head of filial piety just turned toward it.
Looking around, I found a couple of books in addition to the one I had taken out. It was all food.
“Can I take it and take a look?”
“Those recipe papers must have been made in a special way, but since no one in Shaolin in history has been able to decipher them, it is as if they do not exist.”
“Then I will take it and see it, so no one will stop me… … .”
“That’s why it’s sorcery. If it was a recipe that followed the right way, wouldn’t it have already been deciphered and placed neatly on the bookshelf?”
The death penalty’s warning mixed eyes flew in and I heard it.
“The words of someone who pursues witchcraft would be miserable. Or, if you become overly immersed in these things, you might become the poison of Shaolin.”
Shaolin poison.
However, those words did not stop his filial piety at all. Rather, only the sense of well-being that was seething inside was shared with me.
That day… … .
A long, long obsession began.
If he hadn’t found the recipe then.
If even one of Shaolin’s monks had been able to read that book.
He wouldn’t have become the Murim lord or a Murim public enemy… … .
With his sight, with his hearing, with his smell, with his taste, with his senses, with his sixth sense.
I sympathized with his main memories about Sikbeopji.
