Marriage (1)
“Hmm?”
Seunghyunjin, who was drinking tea, turned his head out the window.
Ambassador Gong Gong looked at him with puzzled eyes.
“Why are you doing that?”
“….”
“Jinin.”
“Huh.”
Seunghyunjin shook his head.
“I guess I’m getting older too. “Now I can hear something similar to auditory hallucinations.”
“You mean auditory hallucinations? which?”
“Hehe, once upon a request from the Ambassador, I shared a small piece of enlightenment with Commander Yeon, or rather, Grand Master Yeon.”
“Oh, I remember.”
“Dae-su Yeon’s past and present were stained with blood. To be honest, if you look at the amount of blood shed, it is enough to hear the rare sound of madu.”
Ambassador Gong Gong nodded heavily.
It is true that Yeon Ho-jeong has seen a lot of blood, but how can we blame him? It may be their fault as Kang-ho’s adults that his life was stained with blood.
‘It’s not that it might be true, but it might be true.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s abilities are outstanding. And in many ways.
It was called Nangjungjichu. How could the Murim League just sit by and watch such an outstanding talent? More than half of the blood he shed was due to the orders of the Murim Alliance.
‘It’s truly a shame.’
The public ambassador suddenly sighed.
Even though I had heard that Yeon Ho-jeong had seen a lot of blood, I felt ashamed of myself for letting the young man’s hands get so bloody.
At least Seunghyeonjinin passed on the enlightenment of a shaman to Yeonhojeong for peace of mind. Actually, I didn’t do anything for him.
Seunghyunjin continued speaking in a calm voice, perhaps not knowing how the public ambassador felt.
“In fact, even if you have a decent amount of mental power, your emotions must have been greatly worn out. Murder would have become easier and the smell of blood would no longer be repulsive.”
“It’s a shame.”
“But the number of units opened was different. There were certainly some parts like that, but Daesoo Yeon’s eyes were very clear and deep, unlike a warrior who had seen a lot of blood. In some ways, even more so than the Malcos at the main mountain.”
“haha.”
“It seemed like I was able to control my faltering mind very well. Of course, I had a lot of help from people around me, but Daesoo Yeon’s personality, which is not afraid of change and knows how to listen seriously to the advice of others, also played a role.”
Seung Hyun Jin-in smiled.
“Whether it was a coincidence or not, I thought I could hear Dae-su’s voice outside the window just now. “I heard the sound of a few enlightenment sermons delivered by Bindo to Daesu Yeon.”
The public ambassador spoke in a benevolent voice.
“The enlightenment of a wise man resides in a realm that a layman cannot even imagine. “It is clear that Jin-in’s sincere concern for Dae-su Yeon touched Dae-su Yeon’s heart.”
Seunghyeonjinin waved his hand.
“Please don’t paint your face with gold. enlightenment? It’s good to say it’s enlightenment, but in the end, I’ve come around and am now following the teachings that even the Taoists know. What a shaman’s long story on such a topic. “The person who became Bindo’s teacher was an eccentric person.”
Accumulating knowledge is a difficult task.
However, it was more difficult to truly understand known knowledge, and it was even more difficult to transform what was truly understood into new wisdom.
There was a reason why Master Gong recognized Seunghyeonjinin as a Taoist monk and not as a martial artist. Seunghyeonjinin was a person who did not stop at just knowing the knowledge that everyone knew, but sublimated it into wisdom.
If that is not enlightenment, what is it? Although it was a shame, Ambassador Gong Gong thought that he was someone who could not even reach the feet of Seung Hyeon-jin.
And such an attitude is what makes a public ambassador truly a public ambassador. Of course, he doesn’t know it himself.
Seunghyeonjinin said in a cheerful tone.
“Anyway, let’s continue what we were saying. “Is this why you sent Beom-o and Kwon Mun-ju to Guangdong?”
“To be exact, we sent Kwon Mun-ju, but Beom-oh accompanied us voluntarily.”
“Hehe, I heard that the Ambassador gave a harsh reprimand to Sajil the other day.”
The public ambassador smiled bitterly.
“When I think about that time, I feel embarrassed once again. Part of me was thinking about the future of Sajil, but looking back, I guess I was also very frustrated. “Even if your expectations were high, there is no need to be disappointed when you don’t reach them, but as befits a practitioner, I wasn’t able to properly control my mind.”
In fact, Ambassador Gong Gong has never given advice to anyone as harshly as when he reprimanded Beom-oh.
Maybe it’s because the public ambassador also came out to the world after a long time and saw many outstanding people in various fields and began to see things one by one that he had not seen before.
There is no need to go to Yeonhojeong. Mo Yong-woo is much younger than Beom-oh. However, along with Yeon Ho-jeong, Mo Yong-woo was called the world’s best post-war index and was performing all kinds of missions.
There was no choice but to compare it to Beom-oh. And this time too, I reflected greatly upon realizing that such comparisons were not only meaningless but could also hurt the growing sprouts.
After joining the Murim Alliance, he began to reflect on himself a lot.
Seunghyeonjinin filed the complaint.
“I, too, once visited Dae-su Yeon for a similar matter.”
“Oh, you mean Okcheong?”
“exactly. “No matter how much you care about a priest, you still go to him and try to argue with him. It seems like all your training so far has been in vain.”
Ambassador Gong Gong smiled strangely.
“Now that I talk about it like this, it’s all related to algebra.”
“But that’s beyond words. There is a saying that no matter how vast the world is, there is only one true hero in each generation. And it is said that that hero will shake up the capital of heaven and bring peace to the times of turmoil.”
Seunghyeonjinin quenched his appetite.
“I think that perhaps Yeon Dae-su could become the next generation’s leading figure.”
“Me too. “He is also a talented person who deserves that kind of evaluation.”
“Oops, it seems like the story keeps leaking somewhere else. So why did you bother to dispatch Kwon Moon-ju? “Lee Cheol-gyeong of the Diamond Fist School is said to be a strong person known to the world, but aren’t there countless strong people in Shaolin who are even stronger than him?”
“Of course I do.”
“Is there something else you’re aiming for?”
The public ambassador’s face became slightly serious.
“Buddhist monks with ties to Shaolin are residing in Foshan, Guangdong Province.”
Seunghyunjin’s eyes widened.
“Speaking of Buddhist Zen masters…?”
“Well, this is a story that is not known to the public, so I hope Jinin keeps it to himself.”
This is a story that only Shaolin knows.
Since you say such things in a calm tone, the listener cannot help but feel good. Because it means that you are receiving great trust.
But Seunghyeonjinin was nervous inside.
Are you going to hear something that only Shaolin knows? It was a sign of great trust, but it was also a scary limitation. If by any chance this story gets out in the shaman, Seung Hyeon Jin-in will not be able to see the face of Gong Gong Daesa in the future.
“I will. “I will keep my mouth shut.”
“In fact, if they come forward in person, Governor Yeon or the Uijeonggun may notice. “The fact that they have ties to headquarters.”
The public ambassador smiled bitterly.
“Seeing as how you want to help even at the risk of it all, it seems like you are completely smitten by the master I taught you.”
“haha.”
“In Foshan, Guangdong Province, several elders from the headquarters and other elders from all over the central plains are gathered here.”
“…?”
“And the reason they are in Bulsan is to protect the Buddhist scriptures that have been passed down for hundreds of years.”
“What do you mean by unwritten maintenance?”
“It would be difficult to tell you that far. However, I think you just need to know that its maintenance is very important and that it has been maintained for over 300 years.”
“Three hundred years…!”
It was literally 300 years, and it was truly a jaw-dropping period of time. They say that even rivers and mountains change in ten years, but in three hundred years, rivers and mountains change more than thirty times. It was a time when the country’s dynasty could change.
“There are elders there who were monks and there are also elders who were academic monks. But the important thing is that their influence is truly powerful.”
“The influence is enormous?”
“Old monks who had retired for three hundred years ended their lives there. How many Zen masters must have been reborn in Foshan? “How much of a positive influence must he have had on those around him before he was reborn?”
“…!”
“Of course they don’t want to be revealed to the world. In fact, even the shaman Jang Mun-jin was unaware of their existence.”
“haha.”
The public ambassador whetted his appetite.
“Lee Cheol-gyeong and Kwon Mun-ju’s great-grandfather are currently the biggest adults there. The reason Kwon Mun-ju was accepted as a member of the Shaolin family was because he had a connection with the family there from previous generations. Even taking that into account, Cheol-kyung’s talent was really outstanding.”
Seunghyunjin asked urgently.
“Do you mean that what Master Bangjang said would be of great help to the Murim Alliance if those deceased people used their strength?”
The public ambassador shook his head.
“Maybe so, maybe not.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“These are people who have supported the Buddhist tradition in Foshan for over 300 years. Among all the elders of Shaolin, there are only a very small number of people who have been permitted to go to Mt. Bulsan.”
“…Hmm.”
“Do you understand? These are people who don’t move at all. “It is questionable whether that request will be effective for those who live the rest of their lives upholding the principles of 300 years ago, putting aside even the teachings to benefit the world.”
Seunghyeonjinin sighed.
“If that’s the case, couldn’t you have used the power of Shaolin and secretly added a master to it? If you told this person, Bindo would also help…”
“The troops dispatched by the Murim Alliance must end at Uijeonggun. “That’s right.”
“hmm.”
“However… perhaps such judgment may be due to the strong trust we have in Dae Su Yeon and Commander Mo Yong.”
The public ambassador looked out the window.
Although he himself was inferior to Seunghyeonjinin as a practitioner, his way of seeing the world was far ahead of Seunghyeonjinin.
“I believe Binseung did the best he could. Daesoo Yeon will be like that, and so will Moon-ju Kwon and Beom-oh.”
“It is the great destiny of a true human being….”
“I just sincerely hope that you can safely complete your mission and return.”
* * *
“Is that what you said, Master Yeon?”
“That’s right.”
“good.”
Full-sang rubbed his hands and grinned.
“This is the first joint operation in a while, so I don’t know if it will work well together. “Shall we turn it over for a cool look?”
It was then.
“Huh huh!”
“ok? “What’s going on?”
“We’re in big trouble!”
“So, if you tell me what the big deal is, I’ll understand! It’s a waste of time, so speak quickly! “I hate it when you don’t keep time for algebra!”
“There was an earthquake!”
“…what?”
“It is said that there was an earthquake and landslide in the place where it was reported that a person named Ho Hong Guan was hiding! “This is urgent news that the entire area has been completely devastated!”
Full-sang looked at the beggar blankly.
“What do you mean? Earthquake? landslide? suddenly?”
“The exact circumstances are unknown! Even if I wanted to investigate, I couldn’t get close because assassins were watching from all directions…!”
At that time, another beggar came running in.
“Eight, get out of the way! Afterward! “It’s urgent!”
“What are you again!!”
“A letter has arrived!”
“Ship! I’ve only received letters once or twice?! “It’s a letter from someone!”
“They say he’s a disciple of the Yin God?!”
“uh?”
“A disciple of Yin God!”
Full Sang burst into laughter.
“…what? “What’s so crazy all of a sudden?”
