< Shaolin-2 >
He immediately asked for food, and the Shaolin monks did not refuse. Scarlett smiled proudly at Lee Sung-min, and Lee Sung-min felt embarrassed for no reason and ate his mouth.
Is it because it is still early for lunch time? There were few people eating at the restaurant shown. Those few people were also monks with shaved heads. Scarlett looked at the hairless heads of the monks with wonder, and Lee Seong-min stabbed Scarlett in the side with his elbow.
“That’s rude.”
“What did I say?”
Scarlett grumbled. As I sat down in an empty seat, it wasn’t long before a short fellow monk brought me some food. From the very beginning, Shaolin’s food looked like traditional rice. Although the seasoning was a little bland, it suited Scarlett’s taste better than spicy food.
While eating, the monks in the restaurant did not pay attention to Lee Sung-min and Scarlett. Thanks to their silence, Lee Sung-min and Scarlett also did not talk. At the end of a quiet meal,
“Lee Seong-min.”
One of the fellow monks approached. Lee Seong-min, who had emptied his plate and was drinking tea, looked at his brother-in-law with his eyes wide open. The monk bowed his head while putting his hands together.
“The manager is calling.”
“… me?”
“yes.”
If you are the head of the room, you are talking about a monster in English. In the meantime, Namgung Hui-won seemed to have relayed a message to Ambassador Bulyeong. When Lee Seong-min looked at Scarlett, Scarlett, who was sucking on her chopsticks, nodded her head.
“Come back.”
“What about Scarlett?”
“I’ll just look around around here. “It won’t take long anyway, right?”
“Isn’t that something we can only find out by talking about it?”
“Just go see it.”
Scarlett said as she put down her chopsticks. Seongmin Lee slightly nodded his head and then stood up. When Lee Seong-min stood up, Dongja-seung turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
When Lee Seong-min followed his sister-in-law out of the restaurant, the sister-in-law who had been waiting started walking. no. Should we call it ‘walking’? What the young monk was unfolding was a strange divine law. Every time the monk takes a step forward, his small body slides forward. If the normal spiritual method is to make the body move quickly, the spiritual method performed by the monk was as if the space between steps was folded.
Although Lee Seong-min had almost no deficiencies in internal energy and had mastered the Muyeongtalhon method of Shingongjeolhak, he could barely keep up with the steps of his fellow monk. The monk left through the back gate of Shaolin, and he began to climb the mountain path that followed.
Seongmin Lee wondered where the monk was headed. This is because Namgung Hui-won and other Sega successors who were supposed to meet the Buddhist ambassador did not go out through the back door.
“Is it correct that we are heading towards the French Ambassador?”
“yes.”
When Seongmin Lee asked loudly, the monk responded. The road is no longer a road. The monk quickly crossed between the trees like a small animal, and Seong-min Lee followed behind him. How long did it run like that? They were quite distant from Shaolin because they were both practicing the Gyeongsinbeop. The monk’s steps stopped at the entrance to a small cave that could barely fit one person.
“This is the place.”
As the monk said that, he turned around.
“The French Ambassador is in here.”
At the end of his words, the monk put his hands together and disappeared into fog before Lee Seong-min’s eyes. Seongmin Lee was startled and looked at the spot where the monk was. there was nothing. The fog has already dissipated and disappeared.
[What are you doing? Without coming inside.]
The voice ringing in my head was not an electric sound. Seongmin Lee looked around. The voices echoing from all directions made it impossible to identify the epicenter.
[Oh no. This is inside.]
His voice murmured and he clicked his tongue. It’s inside the cave. Seongmin Lee tensed and swallowed his dry saliva. Then he slowly walked into the entrance of the cave.
Only by lowering my body slightly was I able to enter the cave. A light was shining from inside the cave, and Lee Seong-min used it as a direction marker to move forward. As he walked further, the ceiling of the cave became higher, and soon he was able to walk with his back straight.
“indeed.”
At the end of the cave, an old monk was sitting upright. The old monk’s eyes narrowed when he saw Lee Seong-min walking in. The deep wrinkles and long beard showed the years the old man had lived.
“You are loved by a god of great strength.”
The old monk muttered. It was a word whose meaning I could not understand.
“… Who are you?”
“You’re asking this even though you know. Oh no. “Are you asking because you don’t really know who I am?”
The old monk chuckled and laughed. Seongmin Lee hesitated and then opened his mouth.
“… “A monster in English.”
“right. “I am a monster and a bully.”
Ambassador Bulyeong burst out laughing. Since he was the head of Shaolin, he imagined himself as a high priest with high legal power. What Lee Seong-min got from the ambassador in front of him was that he looked like an old ghost.
“What was that just now?”
“It’s a magic trick.”
Ambassador France said. The answer bothered Lee Seong-min, but what bothered Lee Seong-min was something else that Ambassador Bulyeong muttered.
“A god of great strength… What does this mean?”
“A strange world, a powerful force, a sorrow, a ghost. Mysterious beings and phenomena beyond human understanding. “It refers to all of those things.”
“What does it mean to be loved by a god of great strength?”
“It means just like that, ah. “You embrace a strange spirit, receive the care of dragon power and the protection of Paran, and are blessed by ghosts.”
Ambassador Bulyeong’s face looked happy when he said that, but Lee Seong-min was not happy. I didn’t know what it meant to be a god of great strength, but it seemed like Ambassador Bulyeong wouldn’t give me a proper answer if I asked him about it.
“Can’t you say it properly instead of taking it back?”
“Oh no. If I had been able to do that, I would have already taken off my body and my spirit would have ascended to heaven and sat on the throne. “She has lived a long time, but she still has a long way to go.”
In the end, isn’t it possible to say it properly this time? Lee Seong-min flopped down on the spot with a frustrated expression.
“How did you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, what is this god of great strength? Could it be that Master Bulyeong also sees that my causality is distorted?”
“Causality? I don’t know what that means. Oh no. What I am talking about is a god of great strength… That’s literally it. Something that humans cannot understand, beyond the scope of understanding. “It’s a mysterious entity and all the phenomena that come with it.”
Ambassador Bulyeong, who said that, smiled like a mischievous boy. It was strangely fitting for an old man with wrinkles and a thick beard to have that expression.
“… I am… “I have a lot of questions.”
“I can’t give you an answer to that myself. “No human being in mortal bondage will be able to give you the answer.”
“… Mortal bondage… “If you were God, would you be able to answer?”
“If the God you’re talking about is a God who exists in this world, they won’t be able to answer.”
Ambassador Bulyeong chuckled. That laughter and words had a strange resonance. Lee Seong-min asked with a hardened expression.
“why?”
“Because they are no different from humans. … If you want to know what the mighty god who loves you is, then yes. It would be quicker to die once. Then you will be able to get closer to that mysterious being.”

“What nonsense… ”
Lee Seong-min muttered. Ambassador Bulyeong slightly closed his eyes. When Ambassador Bulyeong opened his eyes a moment later, his eyes were filled with pure white without any black characters. When Lee Seong-min and the French Ambassador met the eyes, Lee Seong-min gasped.
“Go north.”
The words whispered by Ambassador Bulyeong rang in Lee Seong-min’s head. My breathing stops. His heart wasn’t beating. Although he tried to blink, his eyelids did not move.
“North. A place where the ice caps do not melt. If there is a relationship, there will be a meeting with a noble person. no. “It will definitely happen.”
No voice comes out. This time… Has it stopped? no. Time is passing slowly.
“Five years later. When winter gets even colder. at that time.”
Those were the last words. The light disappeared from Ambassador Bulyeong’s eyes. Only when Ambassador Bulyeong’s eyes returned to normal after briefly tilting his head did time, which had been slowing down, accelerate. Seongmin Lee blinked his eyes and closed his open mouth.
“That was just… ”
“Don’t ask.”
Ambassador Bulyeong shook his head.
“I don’t remember what I told you. What inhabited my body just now was not me, but a divine spirit. Giggling! “It’s a little funny that I, the head of the people, talk about spirits rather than Buddha.”
My mind is confused. Ambassador Bulyeong was very heterogeneous compared to other people Lee Seong-min had met so far. Especially the words spoken just now that were imbued with ‘divine spirit.’ North, where the ice caps do not melt. Five years later, when winter gets even colder. Seongmin Lee frowned as he thought about those words.
“… “Why are you saying this to me?”
“Giggle! Ah, you keep asking me things I can’t answer. It’s not that I don’t answer, it’s that I can’t answer. “It would be impossible for most beings to answer your questions.”
Ambassador Bulyeong said so and held out his hand.
“Sword dragon. I heard a story from that cheeky kid. You have the Shaolin martial arts book, right? What do you have?
“… “I have the Hundred Treasures Divine Fist, the Arhat Bodhisattva Method, and the Dharma Mind Method.”
“They are not that great martial arts books. The representative martial arts of Shaolin is Baekbo Shinquan, the representative martial arts method is Arhat martial arts, and the representative meditation method is Dharma Simbeop. Do you know what that means? “It means it’s common.”
While listening to Ambassador Bulyeong’s words, Lee Seong-min took out the three volumes of martial arts books he had kept in his arms.
“How did you get those common things?”
“… The body had it.”
“The body. “Who was it?”
“… “This is Xeon.”
“Xeon. okay. “There was a guy like that among the Shaolin families.”
Zeon, a lay disciple of Shaolin who was famous in Behenger. That was the only impression that Shaolin’s leader, Ambassador Bulyeong, had about him. Ambassador Bulyeong roughly threw away the military letters he had received from Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min was dumbfounded because he could not have imagined that the military documents he brought here would be treated like that.
“It’s old. Take it.”
Ambassador Bulyeong rummaged through his chest and threw something wrapped in paper at Seongmin Lee. Seongmin Lee stretched out both his hands and hesitantly took it.
“It’s a great welcome. “Eat.”
Ambassador Bulyeong said, showing his teeth. Lee Seong-min was startled by those words and opened the paper. It was just as the French ambassador said. Inside was a Daehwandan that gave off a refreshing scent.
“You say it’s an ordinary martial arts skill, but why are you giving me a grand prize?”
“Even if Ahae gives it to you, you still do shit. why. “If I don’t like it, can you change it to a fire extinguisher?”
“No, it’s not that I don’t like it… ”
Lee Seong-min shook his head in irritation. Ambassador Buryeong laughed loudly at those words.
“Wijihoyeon.”
Lee Seong-min’s shoulders trembled at the name he suddenly spat out.
“About a month ago. “A girl named Wijihoyeon came here.”
“… yes?”
“Wijihoyeon. It is called Socheonma. It’s such a strange thing. The child I saw named Wijihoyeon was not a child called Socheonma. “Currently, there are three children called ‘Cheonma’ in this world, including that girl, and in my opinion, the child named Wijihoyeon is the closest to the nickname ‘Cheonma.’”
The French ambassador said with a smile. Namgung Hee-won, the sword dragon… She said that Gwangcheonma Byeokwonpae was a person worthy of the nickname Cheonma. However, Master Bulyeong, the leader of Shaolin, says that Socheonma Wijihoyeon is closest to the nickname Cheonma.
“That child has the destiny of a king. Unless he gets caught up in a transcendental trick, that child will rise to absolute status. “I have lived for a long time, but I have never seen a child with a destiny and qualities as strong as that child.”
“… “Why are you saying that to me?”
“The kid said the name Lee Seong-min.”
Ambassador Bulyeong’s eyes widened.
“I talked a lot with Wijihoyeon and that kid. The child’s destiny and qualities will soon turn him into a heavenly demon who will subjugate the ten thousand demons and reign over him. It was simple curiosity. What kind of life did the child who would inevitably become a giant live in this world? What encounters has he had?”
Seongmin Lee was silent. I was curious about what Ambassador Bulyeong would say, and I was curious about what answer Wijihoyeon gave. Lee Seong-min felt very interested when Wijihoyeon mentioned the name ‘Lee Seong-min’.
“The first friend I made in my life. My only friend. That’s what he said. That’s why I became interested in the name Lee Seong-min. “I never thought that the child named Lee Seong-min would be loved by a god of great strength.”
Ambassador Bulyeong chuckled. Lee Seong-min’s heart sank a little at the old man’s laughter and what the French ambassador said. The first friend I made in my life. And my only friend. Being unique means… Now that it’s been almost 4 years since she broke up with Wiji Ho-yeon, doesn’t that mean she hasn’t made a friend like Lee Sung-min yet?
“I have lived for a long time. Ilshin’s martial arts skills were already complete, but with my qualifications, I could not overcome the end of my martial arts skills and rid myself of the bonds of mortality. So, I tried my hand at many different things. That’s how the nickname ‘Geobul’ came about. Giggling! How can one not call it strange that an old man who is the leader of Shaolin eats meat, drinks alcohol, and dabbles in magic and law? Well, it’s not that I’m dissatisfied with my qualifications for not being able to see the end of martial arts. “Thanks to you, I was able to perform some strange tricks.”
Ambassador Bulyeong raised his hand and stroked his bald head.
“I already knew you would come here. okay. Ever since Wijihoyeon came here a month ago… I knew that a child named ‘Lee Seong-min’ would come here. So I told the boy, Wijihoyeon. “Lee Seong-min will be here in a month.”
“… Wijihoyeon… “What did you answer?”
“He said who cares!”
Ambassador Bulyeong laughed loudly.
“I said it wasn’t time to meet you yet. He asked me to do one favor on that topic. If you come here and your skills are mediocre… “I want you to take a look at martial arts.”
There are still six years left until I promise to meet Wijihoyeon. We made a promise when Lee Sung-min was 14 years old, and we decided to meet when Lee Sung-min turned 24. Lee Seong-min’s I was still 18 years old.
“You are strange. Aside from receiving the love of a god of great strength… you are very strange The heart, energy, and body are all tangled up. Oh no. I’ll tell the old lady. “If you continue like this, you won’t last 10 years and you will lose everything.”
“… “Do you want to buy coins?”
“okay. The person you are now is like an explosive that will explode someday. “Even after living for so many years, I can’t touch your tangled body and soul.”
“then… What should I do?”
“I do not know.”
The French Ambassador said with a shameless face.
“Wijihoyeon. I liked the kid so much that I decided to ask him to watch your martial arts skills. Stay in Shaolin if you want. “If you’re lucky, you might get something.”
“Are you saying you want to guide me?”
“It is impossible to repair your distorted core, energy, and body. But I can look at your martial arts skills. okay… But I can’t lead this old man and guide you one by one. therefore.”
Jihak. The battle of six battles performed by Ambassador Bulyeong resonated far away. Before long, a handsome young man came into the cave.
“That child is the future of Shaolin.”
Although he was handsome, he was bald and had no hair on his head. A young man called ‘Ji-hak’, wearing a monk’s robe, bowed his head with his hands joined together towards Lee Seong-min and Ambassador Bulyeong.
“Try rubbing lightly.”
Same as yesterday and today. There were so many people who wanted to dance together.
