Fire and Ice (8)
The most senior person in the world of power in this era set the best example.
Yeon Ho-jeong also had to show respect as a junior. However, he was so surprised by the words of Master Muheo that he was the 26th successor to Sasinmu that he forgot to greet him.
“Senior Noh, how do you know that I am the successor to Sashinmu?”
“haha.”
“if… … With Master?”
Master Muheo, who finished the funeral, pointed with his hand to the other side of the palace gate.
“I don’t think it’s something worth talking about in a place where people are passing by. Would you like to walk for a while?”
* * *
A forest was also created within the imperial palace. The imperial palace itself was as large as a decent city, so it was only natural.
The place the three of them headed to was a place quite far from the royal palace, a dense bamboo forest with few people passing by.
“You said you found a yellow dragon.”
Yeon Hojeong looked at Master Muheo.
Takmuja, who was approaching the two people with some distance between them, also opened his ears and listened to what they said.
“This is what he said when he came to the monk who was holding the energy of hell. “While we were talking about this and that, you said that you suddenly felt the energy of the yellow dragon.”
“… … !”
“He was someone who threw off half of his human mask. But because he was too worried about the world, he could not come to the light and wandered around in his world.”
“… … .”
“I can’t forget the shock I felt when I first saw you. Ah, there are people like this in the world. “They said that there are as many Ki-in-sa as there are grains of sand hiding in Gangho, and that was indeed true.”
Director Gigi.
It would have been a being that cannot be described simply by the expression ‘Gin-Isa’. The genius who reached the peak of martial arts at a young age read the laws of heaven and prevented war, and reached such a high level that he even transcended death.
In other words, Hwangryongje, the twenty-fifth successor to Sasinmu, was a being that could not be called a human being.
“Yet he acted like a human and saw the world like a human.”
“… … .”
“As the wonder of the great state he had achieved subsided, Bin Monk could not help but feel sad.”
“You mean sadness?”
“She became lost.”
“… … .”
“If you have reached a state where you can glimpse the heavenly principle, you should be liberated and become a Buddha. To put it in Seondo (仙道) style, you had to become a hermit and leave this world. Yet he was tied up in his worldly life. “Even though you knew the law of heaven, you rejected it.”
“… … Why do you think that was?”
Yeon Ho-jeong had never seen his teacher in such a state.
To him, his teacher was always perfect. He was a perfect person and he was a perfect martial god.
Yeon Ho-jeong was curious as to why Master Muheo, who was said to be the closest person to the world at the time, felt sad when he saw his teacher.
“The commander-in-chief was refusing to follow the path of enlightenment because he could not ignore the suffering of people living in this world.”
“… … !”
“You probably already knew everything. “Life is suffering, the turmoil in the world will never end, and frustration, hatred, sadness, and despair will always color the world.”
“… … .”
“Binseung hasn’t reached that level, but he can guess. “When a person suddenly attains enlightenment and his or her soul reaches the heavenly path, all that can be seen is ascending to heaven holding on to the rope of enlightenment.”
“… … .”
“But I think he saw the world through his eyes. He was looking at all people groaning in the face of absolute temptation.”
Master Mu He closed his eyes.
He could not remember the face of the godman. It hadn’t been long since he left, but strangely he couldn’t remember anything about him.
Probably because he wanted it.
He abandoned all his worries and attachments to the world, and went from being a human-shaped ghost to becoming a true god. The face of God was originally formless.
“You must have known that even if you move from world to world, you cannot change the world. You also knew that you should not be on the front page of the world. “But the reason he couldn’t leave was probably because his mercy and love for the people were so strong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
Although he did not express it, it seemed as if his teacher’s agony could be seen just by listening to Master Muheo’s words.
Born as an heir to the blood religion, he realized the law of heaven and rebelled against it. He participated in wars to eliminate the suffering of all people, and later lived as he wandered around the world providing relief to those who were suffering.
However, even with divine force, the conflict cannot be eliminated alone. He cannot get rid of sadness, hatred, despair and regret.
Even though he knew all this, he could not ascend to heaven and lived for over 300 years. What beast could be so pitiful?
“Binseung knew. How to heal his heart. “He knew that the suffering and wounds he received from people should be comforted through relationships with people.”
“… … .”
“But I also knew that it meant nothing unless you realized it yourself. So I just watched.”
Yeon Hojeong listened to Ambassador Muheo’s words in silence.
Master Mu He smiled bitterly.
“Ten years ago, when he appeared before Binseung again, I realized. Let’s take the energy of hell that he is carrying. Now that I have raised decent disciples, all I have to do is throw away my ego and dedicate my life to the nameless monk who has lived for the world… … .”
“… … .”
“And not long ago, he went to meet another yellow dragon. Many years ago, he left a message saying that the divine being and demon called Shinok (神玉) had been broken.”
“… … !”
“After that, all the hell energy that was gnawing away at Binseung’s body disappeared. “It is proof that He truly became one with the world and left His secular world.”
Master Muheo stopped walking.
Surprisingly, there was no trace of suspicion or caution in the eyes of Master Muheo as he looked back at Yeonhojeong.
“The person Binseung talks about is definitely Seongju’s teacher.”
“… … you’re right.”
“He never had a disciple in his life. “He is not one who speaks lies.”
“He is that kind of person.”
“Then suddenly a disciple appeared. Binseung could feel the reverberation of the Lord in his prayers. “He did not simply learn the same martial arts, but had within him the essence of enlightenment that could only be passed on when people met.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say anything. She learned that she had returned to the past with the help of a monster called Blood Jade.
It wasn’t because I thought they wouldn’t believe me even if I told them. That’s because Master Muheo is someone who will somehow understand even if he doesn’t say anything.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s thoughts were correct.
“He possessed abilities that cannot be interpreted by human common sense. “Perhaps he passed on the Sasinmu to you in some mysterious way.”
“That’s right.”
“It is clear that going to see the Yellow Dragon means going to see Seongju.”
“It’s been a while since I last saw you and we had a deep conversation. And he ascended high into the sky.”
Master Mu He smiled.
“How was your reunion with your teacher?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice sank slightly.
“Thanks to everyone’s consideration, I met someone I thought I would never see again. “He gave me enlightenment until the end of his journey, so his shadow will stay with me until I die.”
“Hehehe.”
Master Mu He nodded.
“It is truly a blessing from heaven that Master Mujang has such a healthy disciple. “When I heard that Seongju worked tirelessly for the world, I wondered where such a talented person could come from, but it would not have been strange at all if he was his disciple.”
Not like that.
The reason why Yeonhojeong was able to become as big as it is now was not simply because of the existence of one teacher, Cheoninryong.
He had a strong father and a precious brother.
The countless comrades he had made during his time in the world were firmly supporting him.
Even if one of them wasn’t there, Yeonhojeong wouldn’t have grown as much as it has now.
Even this empty line.
“thank you.”
“hmm?”
“I was able to see you again because the Ambassador shared your pain. “The ambassador’s help was great in enabling our priest to have this precious meeting.”
Master Mu He shook his head.
“If he had not met the military leader, Binseung would have remained a scholar in Shaolin. “There is no need to thank them once again, as we have influenced each other and passed on our teachings to future generations.”
Master Muheo shows a different level of enlightenment than not only Cheoninryong but also Takmuja and the emperor.
Even though it was his first time seeing him, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to deeply feel the shadow of a teacher and the heart of a public ambassador in Master Muheo.
“I guess I kept a busy person for too long. “You have no shame.”
“no. “It was a very precious time for me.”
“Hehe, well, I’m glad if that’s the case.”
Master Muheo’s eyes sparkled.
“Then can you give us just one more hour to visit?”
“It’s possible, but what is your reason?”
Master Muhe looked at Zhuo Wuzi.
Takmuja laughed.
“Let me go and tell Seongju that he will be late.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
Yeon Ho-jeong bowed his head towards Tak Mu-ja.
“The situation was not good for unraveling. “Why don’t you have a cup of grain tea later?”
“The real news will be released once this situation is over. “It’s okay for old people like us to do whatever we decide, but you young people will be very busy.”
“All right.”
“If you do, I hope you have a good time.”
It is no exaggeration to say that Muheo Daesa is a soul mate. He seemed to know why Ambassador Muheo asked Yeon Hojeong to give him time.
Zhuo Muzi disappeared, and Master Muheo sat in his place, cross-legged.
Yeon Ho-jeong also naturally sat across from him.
Master Muheo spoke in a calm voice.
“Binseung is a martial artist who has never learned anything, but the military commander taught me a lot about Sasinmu. “It’s only natural that for all those years, the only person he could open up to was one of these ugly guys.”
“… … .”
“I do not know the secrets of Sashinmu, but thanks to his enlightenment, I was able to make great progress and reach this level.”
“I see.”
“So you can see. Because I saw him, saw him, and felt him, I realized that the current lord of the castle is unable to fully draw out the power of the Yellow Dragon God King.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
“Do you see that?”
At least it is said that it is visible even though he did not show martial arts in person. This was something that Yeon Ho-jeong himself did not know.
“Hwangryongshinwanggong is the ultimate in martial arts, and if you have reached it, you can say that you have reached the Tao through martial arts. However, just like him, Seongju is only bringing out the divine energy that has reached its peak through the destructive power of martial arts.”
“… … !”
“From what I heard, Hwangryonggi rules the middle and lower parts, and God King’s energy rules the upper part. “The top, middle, and bottom are perfectly polished and advance to the perfect light. If this is not the ultimate martial arts, what is it?”
Wooooow.
A subtle milky glow arose from Master Muheo’s hands.
It was a deep and sacred energy. It was just infinitely deep, without any majesty. Yeon Ho-jeong stared blankly at the hand, feeling comfortable just by looking at it.
“I don’t know about salvation or enlightenment, but I know how to guide the lord of the castle to better control the divine king’s energy. This is because his enlightenment is reflected in the martial arts skills of the poor monk.”
“… … “Ambassador.”
“Now, this is the great ability of Prajna.”
Master Muheo’s hand touched Yeonhojeong’s forehead.
Flash!
Pure white brilliance soared high into the sky.
