Episode 844
Core of the Typhoon (1)
“….”
Cheon Hyo-rak, who was quenching his thirst with a sip of water, paused for a moment.
The woman Hwahyang asked.
“Are you somewhere uncomfortable?”
“…no.”
Cheon Hyorak said cheerfully.
“By the way, it’s really amazing. I heard a lot about Murim Maeng, but I had no idea it would be this big. “It’s safe to say that this is a small country.”
Hwahyang immediately frowned.
“The great Murim Alliance treats guests like this. If only the master would give permission, I would do it right away…”
“Arthur. It’s because he’s indecisive, but there’s no dragon as good as the Murimmaeng. “If even one of the leaders comes, you and I will be forced to go to hell.”
“It’s about going back to where you want to go.”
Cheon Hyorak chuckled at Hwahyang’s humorous response.
Although they placed great emphasis on a strict superior-subordinate relationship when publically speaking, such as in public affairs, the two were quite close in private. It was almost like they were brother and sister.
That’s right, Hwahyang was raised to be Cheon Hyo-rak’s bodyguard since childhood. His rank was bound to be different from other subordinates.
“But you are really right, master.”
“hmm?”
“Indecisiveness.”
Hwahyang’s eyes lit up.
“If you look at the political situation so far, you’ve always been one step behind, right? “Even though we have gathered excellent people, I feel like we can’t utilize them.”
“It is as you said. There are many excellent people. But I can’t move efficiently. “This is clearly a chronic problem of the Murim Alliance.”
“Iknow, right. Looking at things like that, it’s definitely a fish that Mukryongbuju has picked up.”
“There is no one who doesn’t know that Tuwang Yang Chen’s abilities are outstanding. However, if you say that we can ignore the potential of the Murim Alliance, that is a different story.”
“Are you talking about the leader?”
“Yes.”
Cheon Hyorak looked out the window.
Hwa-hyang said that she was bad at entertaining guests, but it should be considered that she treated her well enough by giving her the best guest room in the outer castle even when she visited Ma-in, who had never been in the world before.
Of course, it is impossible to make it resistant. Even if it is Shinmarim, it will not allow sudden Murim members to enter the inner city. Rather, the priority would be to calm down the leaders who want to catch and kill him.
They were probably in the middle of a discussion about what to do with this situation right now.
“Those who call themselves white swordsmen are said to have drawn their swords for the sake of narrow justice. But let’s see. Putting aside the discussion, doesn’t everyone have different ideas about justice?”
“Of course.”
“Using force to subjugate someone with a different opinion? “Is that also justice?”
“It is justice.”
“For us it is. But from the victim’s perspective, you probably don’t think that way. “They’ll think it’s not right.”
Hwahyang frowned.
“Then shouldn’t I just not set foot in Wulin?”
“Did you have a choice?”
“yes?”
“Have you ever had the chance to choose a path other than my escort?”
Hwahyang was embarrassed.
“Lord master! How can you say something like that? “I would never think like that…!”
“Haha, I’m not here to discuss your loyalty. Anyway, you didn’t have a choice. And the countless people born and raised in Murim had no other choice. “I was just born that way and I couldn’t think of any other path.”
“Of course, but… that doesn’t mean you can change your parents, right? If you were born that way, you would quickly understand this situation and find a breakthrough to survive…” “
That’s natural. But there are many people in the world. There are strong people among them, but there are far more weak ones. And they think that the right way is to embrace even the weak.”
The smell of flowers whetted my appetite.
“These are really comfortable things.”
Cheon Hyorak smiled.
“I was also the underdog. But I survived thanks to you.”
“Lord master! That’s a different case!”
“It’s different, but if you look at it broadly, it’s not different. At least that’s what they think.”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes deepened.
“In other words, that’s why they’re so great.”
“yes?”
“Let’s look at the history so far. Baekdo Murim was always one step behind. This is because we must embrace the weak. “You can’t ignore the other person’s opinion, so you need to coordinate differences and no one will suffer less, so radical policies don’t come out often.”
“….”
“But when their powers come together, they become monsters that no one can compete with.”
“Why is that so?”
“When we embrace everyone, the weak come together. “If you look at each one individually, there is nothing special, but the number has increased exponentially, and more than 70% of the midfielders have been classified as 100.”
“…!”
“Fools who think that the weak are weak no matter how they gather together will never understand the power of the many gathered together. “Even though it has gone through countless hardships, there is a clear reason why the Baekdo martial arts group is leading this land called Jungwon.”
Hwahyang’s face turned slightly red. Because I somehow felt like one of those fools.
“Let’s look at the green forests we encountered in Shaanxi. They are all weak bandits. However, in the meantime, unless they were involved with a prestigious family, they would take revenge by chasing the person they had become involved with, even to the end of hell. “What is the reason?”
“I don’t know?”
“Because I know that even though it may be difficult and difficult right now, it will be beneficial in the long run. “No one will be able to easily touch you.”
“ah!”
“The context is different, but so is Baekdo Murim. “It may seem foolish to embrace the weak, but I know that when we face a big threat in the future, if everyone joins forces, we can become an iron fortress that will never collapse.”
Cheon Hyorak chuckled.
“Of course, not everyone thought that way. However, what is important is instinct and nature. They have grown so much and grown so much. That’s why the Baekdo Murim exists today.”
Hwahyang thought that their perspectives were definitely different.
To her, the world was simple.
A diet of the weak and the strong.
The strong are the predators. And those who are eaten by predators are the weak.
But the world didn’t seem to be like that. Well, if it had gone that way, Shinmarim wouldn’t have had to remain in hiding until now.
“But even in the Baekdo martial arts world, Lee Dan-ah emerged.”
For a moment, Hwahyang’s eyes sparkled.
“Yeonhojeong?”
“okay. “This is Yeonhojeong, known as the king.”
“…Honestly, I can’t believe it. “You haven’t even reached this point yet, but you’re breaking through the realm of sacred magic?”
“Didn’t the current Grand Master surpass the Holy Demon Sutra? Of course, there is a gap of more than ten years with Yeonhojeong.”
As soon as the word ‘big brother’ came out of Cheon Hyorak’s mouth, an instinctive fear appeared on Hwahyang’s face.
The Grand Prince of Shinmarim was one of the greatest geniuses in the history of Madou Martial Arts. If we think about the age at which Limjuin Hyeokryeonhwi attained sainthood, we can see just how incredible the Grand Duke’s talent was.
However, Yeon Ho-jeong, who was much younger than the Grand Duke, who was called a rare genius, did not even achieve the Holy Demon Sutra, but killed King Bi and was named a saint.
What a fearsome writer is this? Genius cannot even be described in words. In 1,000 years of history, there is no monster that is difficult to regenerate.
“But… I still can’t believe it. “I have a suspicion that the Jungwon martial arts group is deliberately deceiving the world in order to create a hero for difficult times.”
It doesn’t even sound like a horse. If he could deceive everyone in the world, he would have been able to do even greater things with that power.
However, it was true that Yeonhojeong’s reputation was too high to make such a thought.
At that time, a subtle tension appeared on Cheon Hyo-rak’s face.
“I guess we can check that from now on.”
“yes?”
“Get ready to receive guests.”
Cheon Hyorak’s voice became more serious.
With just that slight change in voice, Hwahyang’s posture changed. She got up from her seat and quickly cleared the table and sat behind Cheon Hyo-rak.
How much time has passed?
“Are you inside?”
It was a deep voice.
If I listened carefully, it wasn’t that thick, but it felt strangely thick.
Just hearing your voice feels like your whole body is vibrating. This is true even though he does not particularly radiate internal energy and his prayers are worse than those of ordinary people. It was impossible to tell whether it was because Cheon Hyo-rak was nervous about his opponent’s reputation or because of his opponent’s indescribable ability.
“Please come in.”
It rattled.
The door opened and a man appeared.
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.
‘…big.’
He is not short. No, he is definitely taller than average.
But it wasn’t that his body and bones were magnificent. If you look at his skeleton alone, he looks like a tall scholar.
But in Cheon Hyo-rak’s eyes, it looked different.
hook!
The appearance of the scholar who came in with a cool smile like a cool breeze grew exponentially, and soon became so large that it broke through the ceiling of the room and reached up to the sky.
‘…!!’
It was a while.
The illusion that was only temporary was literally just an illusion, so it could not distract Cheon Hyorak’s five senses.
However, although it may not have distracted his five senses, it was more than enough to shake his mind and heart.
Cheering.
There was a strange metallic sound.
It makes that sound even though there are no weapons on the body. It seemed like he was carrying something similar to a chain somewhere on his body.
Cheon Hyorak stood up and took the gun.
“It is called Shinmarim’s Cheonhyorak.”
Hwahyang was inwardly surprised. This was because the master’s voice was tinged with thick tension.
Until now, there were only two people that the master was this nervous about.
Grand Duke of Shinmarim.
And the other one was the God Marim Lord.
‘Could it be that the author really read the Holy Magic Sutra…?!’
The company’s Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and hugged him.
“This is Yeon Ho-jeong, a former member of the Murim Alliance and the current Sobuju of Mukryongbu. “It is an honor to meet Ingeol of the Demonic Murim.”
“Are you talking about that fishman? “I am truly honored to meet the greatest general of his time, gifted with the best talent in the world.”
“Longevity… were you looking into it as expected?”
“I’m just embarrassed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and pointed to the seat.
“Can I sit here?”
“of course.”
“I thought of course he would allow it, so I asked someone in advance to give me a car.”
Cheon Hyorak burst out laughing.
“He is indeed a man who is praised as having wisdom as great as his strength.”
“That’s too much praise. “It’s not like I’m going to talk about wisdom over something like this.”
“Before you take a seat, may I ask you a question?”
“of course.”
Cheon Hyorak asked in a slightly playful tone.
“What would you have done if I hadn’t given you permission to sit there?”
“You didn’t mean to do that at all?”
“…!”
“Haha, well. I haven’t considered that situation. When you see something like this, you definitely can’t believe it’s just a rumor. “It seems like I don’t have the wisdom or insight.”
Cheon Hyo-rak’s smile became a little awkward.
“If I make a mistake, I will be embarrassed today.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s a relief to be at least embarrassed in such a harsh world.”
“…!!”
“Do not worry. “Would you pull out a knife in someone else’s front yard?”
Cheon Hyorak’s face became increasingly hard. The tension I had tried so hard to hide began to fill my eyes.
“Shall we sit down?”
“…Good.”
