Episode 412
Shake it up (6)
“Are you…?”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Beom-oh held a half-funeral ceremony.
“It’s called Shaolin’s Fano.”
“ah.”
Mo Yong-woo took the lead.
“My name is Mo Yong-woo, commander of Tangma County, Uijeong County. “It is an honor to meet the genius monk of Shaolin.”
A genius monk of Shaolin.
It was a title intended to evaluate the other person highly and to show courtesy in its own way. In fact, Beom-o was called one of the greatest geniuses in Shaolin.
Beom-oh shook his head.
“It’s an overly burdensome title. “Just call me Beom-o.”
If it had been Beom-oh in the past, he would have been elated. Furthermore, he must have felt a little uncomfortable with Mo Yong-woo’s Hao body. Because in Beom-oh’s opinion, Shaolin was the best in Moorim.
But not now.
Beom-oh, who fully broke through the barrier of all kinds by enlightening the Mahayana Brahma Heavenly Technique, felt that he had become surprisingly different from before.
‘Maybe I was possessed by a demon?’
Of course, that didn’t mean his high self-esteem went anywhere.
Beom-oh thought that he had finally returned to a personality that matched his skills. Although there is still a long way to go, I have decided to be satisfied with how much I have changed from looking at the world with eyes filled with arrogance.
Continuous training may be necessary, but…
“But what is the reason you came all this way? “From what I heard from the Great Master, there was no mention of a person from Shaolin being with us.”
“I came with this text from the Diamond Fist Gate. Master Bang Jang of the headquarters sent this letter to help the Uijeong army, and Binseung followed the priest.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Beom-oh took a card out of his pocket and handed it to Mo Yong-woo.
“This is the Mubuljongpae, which symbolizes the temple’s monk status.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“You don’t have to show it. “You can tell that he is a Shaolin monk just by the fire energy emanating from his entire body.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s really amazing. I realized once again that all the learning in the world came from Shaolin. “I have never seen such a majestic yet calm aura.”
It was a sincere admiration.
Just as the best sword in the world becomes nothing more than a meat-cutting knife in the hands of a butcher, not everyone who has learned the martial arts of Shaolin is strong and good.
In Mo Yong-woo’s view, Beom-oh was a transcendent expert who had properly learned the traditional martial arts of Shaolin. Although the energy waves emitted were rougher and stronger than those of other Shaolin monks, their level was undoubtedly that of a super expert.
Beom-oh shook his head.
“That’s not the point. “The reason Binseung chased us all the way here was because of the imminent fighting spirit that remained in the place where Tang Ma passed.”
“Did you read that?”
“exactly.”
As expected, it’s amazing. If you felt uneasy just from the fighting spirit left in the wake of five hundred warriors, your energy was not usually sensitive.
“Everyone was anxious to move according to the orders given by the commander.”
“It seemed like it. “I also caught up to this area, but it didn’t seem like any trouble occurred, so I decided to watch the situation.”
There were no problems. In any case, there were a hundred assassins guarding the wilderness here, and there was a short battle to annihilate them.
Of course, the assassins who were surprised were defeated in the first battle, but Tangma’s army also had to endure considerable damage.
The wild nature was a fortress. Moreover, the Tangma army was not familiar with the geography of this place and even consisted of cavalry.
Although they were incredibly capable people who could engage in mountain warfare with their divine horsemanship, there was bound to be damage. Fortunately, there were no deaths, but the number of serious or minor injuries was as high as seventy.
“But it looks like there’s a problem.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes lit up.
“A problem? “What problem?”
“Nearly a thousand assassins are stationed not far from here.”
“…!”
Mo Yong-woo’s face suddenly hardened.
Although they took control of the enemy’s main base, this castle was complex like a maze, and the roads themselves were very narrow and dizzy. It would take three or four days to capture the entire geography of the castle in my head.
So Mo Yong-woo and the team members dispersed and planted flags at each location. The rest rested, stayed alert, and prepared for enemy attacks.
But you didn’t know?
“They seemed very familiar with this environment. When I stood here and looked around, I couldn’t see it from here. But in reality, they are targeting this place at will.”
“Is it true?”
“It’s true.”
Well, there was no way a Shaolin monk would lie about something like this.
“I was surprised that the assassins showed themselves so openly. But when I got here, I understood. You never see them here. “They cleverly concealed themselves by using the terrain.”
Furthermore, since he was skilled in the art of stealth and specialized in killing his presence, it would have been difficult for even Mo Yong-wu in the world to know about him.
“Would you like to take a look?”
“That’s right. I think it should be like that…”
At that moment, Mo Yong-woo’s eyes deepened.
“No, I won’t move.”
“…?”
Beom-oh asked with a puzzled look.
“Do you mind if I check?”
“Of course, I’ll have to check. “But I can’t move.”
Mo Yong-woo looked around.
“This is not just a castle. Perhaps because this is where assassins lived, the structure is very complex and difficult. “It would take three or four days to simply memorize the revealed path.”
“….”
“There are already three secret passages discovered. “If some of them infiltrate here, we could be defeated.”
“hmm.”
“At least I can minimize the damage. So I can’t move.”
Mo Yong-woo knew his position well. He clearly knew why the chair should not be easily shaken and why it should not be moved easily.
The stability and command system provided by the existence of a leader are inevitably important regardless of the nature of the organization.
Beom-oh nodded.
“I’m not sure, but if that’s the case, please send me a trustworthy subordinate.”
“Everyone is trustworthy. However, as the nobleman said, if they are cleverly hiding, it would be better to appoint someone who is familiar with strategy and tactics.”
Mo Yong-woo turned his head.
“Chief Jin!”
“Yes, Commander.”
The defeat of the Japanese leader quickly approached.
“Go check on the assassins with Monk Beom-oh. “We need to go and check all the terrain and attack routes where they are hiding.”
“I follow your orders.”
Mo Yong-woo continued.
“….”
Beom-oh’s eyes lit up.
Mo Yong-woo’s mouth was actually moving as if he was speaking, but no sound was produced. However, Jinpae kept nodding his head as if he heard Mo Yongwoo’s voice.
‘Electrum.’
It seemed like he had been given some kind of mission so that he wouldn’t be heard.
I thought that might be the case. In any organization, there are issues that outsiders should not know about.
After a while, Mo Yong-woo spoke to Beom-oh.
“If you do, please be kind to me.”
Beom-oh nodded.
“then Let’s go.”
“Monk Beom-o.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
Mo Yong-woo took the lead.
“Thank you.”
Beom-oh shook his head.
“Let’s say that greeting later. Did you say it was Captain Jin? “Let’s leave right away.”
“That’s right.”
Paaaaang!
The two people quickly escaped into the wilderness.
When the distance was some distance away, Jinpae asked.
“You said you were Monk Beom-o, right?”
“That’s right.”
“By any chance, which way did you come here?”
Beom-oh pointed to the northeast with his finger.
“I came to that path over there. “There are many trees on both sides and large rocks here and there, making it ideal for hiding.”
“Are there assassins encamped in the direction we are going now?”
“exactly. But how can you ask that?”
Jinpae’s eyes lit up.
“As you have seen, simply changing your direction does not mean you will not be exposed to the enemy. Just as they were not seen in the main camp we took over, it means that although the monk was hiding, there is a possibility that his location was revealed to the assassins.”
Beom-oh shook his head.
“That can’t be possible. The reason I knew where they were stationed was because I also followed them. At least when I saw it, the assassins couldn’t see that castle either. “Visibility is limited.”
“On the outside, it is.”
“What do you mean?”
“What I felt while investigating the castle was that the assassins were more cautious than I imagined. Moreover, the castle we occupied is where the so-called king of the Central Plains assassins resides.”
“…!”
“All kinds of passages would have been built not just inside the castle but also around the castle. Furthermore, top-notch assassins build their own safe houses throughout the central plains. If you are a so-called evil spirit, you will be more than that, not less. “There may be hundreds or thousands of safe houses and passages connected throughout Guangdong Province.”
“Huh.”
Beom-oh had a rough side to Kang-ho that he didn’t know about.
Jinpae had knowledge that Beom-oh, who always wandered around Gangho’s Yangjiman while learning the best martial arts, could not know. In that respect, he knew more than Mo Yong-woo.
“And the commander knows that too.”
“…?!”
Jinpae looked around.
“Well, everything is blocked. The air flow is normal… and this level is sufficient.”
Crash!
Jinpae stopped walking.
Beom-oh spoke urgently.
“What are you doing? “There’s still quite a bit of distance left!”
“Monk, please go back now.”
“What?”
“From here on out, I will be the bait. “Please go back and help the commander.”
“What do you mean? “Do you want to help the commander?”
“I alone can go to the place where the lionesses are stationed.”
“They are masters of stealth! If you make a mistake…!”
“Why would the assassins show themselves in public?”
“…?!”
“If it had a clear purpose, such as reacting to enemy movements or eliminating targets, it would never have revealed itself. But they showed themselves.”
“That…”
“There is no target to eliminate. It’s not even meant to react to enemy movements. Rather, we want to respond by seeing how the enemy reacts.”
“…!!”
“If the commander and I have the same thoughts, the assassins will never kill me. I’ll send it back again. “To bring down the troops within the castle.”
Beom-oh opened his mouth like a carp.
“…Then why bother me?”
“It is for guidance and emergency purposes. “There is a possibility that the enemy may have seen the monk.”
“….”
“The number of cases is two. Either the assassins set a trap there or they were trying to infiltrate the castle. That’s why they showed up.”
“Isn’t that just a guess?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Jinpae’s eyes darkened.
“You have to risk your life to find out whether that guess is right or wrong.”
After half an examination.
“Yazoo.”
“Speak.”
“A little while ago, a man believed to be a warrior from the Murim Alliance returned after observing our movements.”
Yayuljeok’s eyes sparkled.
“It is clear that the Shaolin monks leaked information about this place.”
“What is the minimum time before they send troops here?”
“This is not terrain they are familiar with, so we will operate as secretly as possible. “Given the distance, we will be able to launch a surprise attack within two o’clock at the earliest or three o’clock at the latest.”
“If by chance they don’t move, we will charge into the castle gates just before dawn tomorrow.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“good.”
Yayuljeok’s eyes glowed insidiously.
“You touched us wrong.”
