Episode 867
The blooming strongmen (7)
The first Murim lord.
If you are a Shaolin leader, you are not lacking in being the head of the Murim League. Meanwhile, before his influence, Daesa Gong was one of the wise men of Wulin, renowned for his outstanding personality, strong martial arts, and constant self-discipline.
Anyone would nod their heads when they hear that such a person has become a leader.
However, it was surprising in many ways that he, who had not yet officially declared that he had ascended to the rank of leader, proudly became the leader in front of the equipment of the Demonic Murim.
“Murim Lord…!”
“That’s right.”
Cheon Hyo-rak, who had been blankly watching the public ambassador, turned his gaze to Zhuge Mun-ho and Seung Hyeon-jin-in.
‘…!’
The faces of the two people were extremely calm.
Since Zhuge Li is a soldier, he must be very knowledgeable about facial expressions. However, even Seung Hyeon Jin-in was looking at the public ambassador with a ray of smile.
‘It’s real!’
It wasn’t a joke to surprise me or a trick to impress myself.
Those two people really recognized Ambassador Gong as the Murim lord. And the public ambassador also did not feel burdened by the trust-filled eyes of the two people.
Cheon Hyo-rak stood up from his seat and bowed.
“Greetings again to the first leader of the Murim Alliance.”
The public ambassador raised his hand.
“It hasn’t been officially announced, so there’s no need to be polite again. “What is important is information about Shinmarim.”
“yes.”
Cheon Hyorak sat down again and spoke calmly.
“No matter what you say, I can’t tell you the magic attack’s weaknesses and strategies.”
“is it.”
“Please understand that much. “There would be nothing more shameless than denying the side dish given to us when we came to ask for help, but now you are trying to cut off our legs with just one meal.”
It’s not the ambassador, it’s the leader.
On the contrary, he took an even harder stance because his opponent was a leader. If he had been a Bonggong, he would have been unable to avoid conflict of opinion among many people, but he believes that a leader would have a certain degree of determination.
Consistently showing a weak side to such a person is like offering your neck to bite.
“Didn’t we decide to become allies?”
“As you know, even if the Murim Alliance and Shinmarim form an alliance and move forward, I do not feel the same way about what is going on in the world. “I can’t be sure how long this relationship will last.”
“….”
“I hope that doesn’t happen, but if that moment truly comes, we will receive a fatal blow from the Murim Alliance, which knows the weaknesses of the Shinmarim Demon Lord.”
“is it.”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes deepened.
“I’m sure the leader clearly understands this. “Nevertheless, can we interpret the fact that you are making such unreasonable demands as meaning that you have something else you want to gain from us?”
“well.”
Ambassador Gong Gong looked at Cheon Hyo-rak intently.
As Cheon Hyo-rak met those eyes, he felt his heart beating twice as fast.
Even if you just strain your eyes and look, your heart rate goes up on its own. It’s not like I’m showing off my inner strength or showing off my will, but I feel endlessly nervous in front of the public ambassador’s deep eyes.
Ambassador Gong Gong, who had been watching Cheon Hyo-rak for a while, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know anything else, but Prince Cheon owes a debt to Prince Bin.”
“What do you mean debt?”
“Wasn’t there an achievement in magic?”
“…?!”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.
The public ambassador smiled. A ray of smile appeared on his tired face. It was his usual face.
“In the end, the difference between coexistence and opposites is just a piece of paper. The same goes for the inner qigong of Buddhism and the qigong of Sima Mao Dao.”
“…What do you mean?”
“In front of the Shaolin magic practiced by Bin Monk, Prince Cheon was oppressed. “When we first met here, Duke Chen had a hard time even looking at me properly.”
Although he did not show off his mental strength, Ambassador Gong Gong had already seen clearly into Cheon Hyo-rak’s inner thoughts.
When the anti-demonic’s Buddhist Qigong reaches its peak, no demonic energy of the Four Demons’ Path can be unleashed in front of it.
On the contrary, when the magic doctrine of reverse heaven reaches its ultimate stage, any spiritual practice of Taoist Buddhism will be destroyed in front of it.
So they are polar opposites. If one side rises above a certain level, the other side will be completely broken down and weakened.
However, there are many variables in the world.
“If he was a low-level magician, he would have lost his internal energy and suffered from high fever by now, making it impossible for him to lead a normal life.”
“…?!”
“I knew from the first time I saw that the level of magic that Prince Hana Cheon had trained was truly amazing. “He seemed to be such a great magician that he didn’t get discouraged even in the face of Shaolin’s great power.”
The public ambassador’s eyes deepened.
“Regardless of whether they are spiritual or magical, a good martial artist always does his best to protect his master.”
“In other words, the Ambassador deliberately put pressure on me to increase my magical power?”
“I wanted to see your will. I also wanted to see your sincerity. “If you had collapsed and revealed your undeserving true colors before the power of the infinite power unleashed by the Binseung, your residence would have been a prison five stories underground instead of a guest house.”
Hyorak Cheon felt a shiver run down his spine.
“But you didn’t hide anything from us. I told everything sincerely. “Now that the demon from the martial arts world, a difficult enemy of history, has come, I also have a strong desire to test you.”
There was no word of apology. Rather, he confidently said that he tested you, as if it was obvious.
Cheon Hyo-rak said in a whisper.
“You’re saying that my Majesty’s Majesty’s Demon King has achieved his own achievements in order not to be discouraged in front of the Lord’s infinite power.”
“I tested you without saying anything. “If it’s a lie, it’s death, but if it’s sincere, it can induce growth.”
“…You are amazing.”
“Amazing. “How could it not be amazing that he tested people by using worldly methods of calculation while following the teachings of Buddha?”
It was a voice that felt somewhat frustrating.
However, even though it is frustrating, I have no regrets. The eyes of the public ambassador who had begun to overcome ‘something’ were full of brilliant will amidst the confusion that had not yet been completely eliminated.
“I knew from the first time I saw him that he was born with a natural inability to perform martial arts because he seemed to have great talent but his skills were not up to par.”
“….”
“You were honest in front of all of us, so consider it a gift in your own way.”
Hyorak Cheon, who was watching the public ambassador, sighed.
“What you mean is that you owe money.”
“That’s right.”
“I thought it would take a little more time, but I felt like I was getting excited too quickly.”
“There are divine and magical techniques that weaken the power of opposites. The magic craft you trained was not like that. “Seeing how he has grown steadily while bathing in the light of his infinite power, it seems clear that he is one of the best magicians in Shinmarim.”
In other words, I owe him a big debt of gratitude for inducing such great growth in magic. If I hadn’t been honest, I would have been in prison, but anyway, I received an unexpected gift, so this can definitely be considered a debt.
“thank you. Still….”
“….”
“I can’t tell you the weaknesses and strategies of Shinmarim’s magic attack.”
Cheon Hyo-rak’s appearance of bowing his head was very polite, uncharacteristic of a magician.
The public ambassador smiled.
“Is that also the case?”
“….”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Cheon Hyorak raised his head and saw Ambassador Gong.
A face that looks tired, but has no regrets.
Cheon Hyorak asked cautiously.
“You knew I would say no, right?”
“I assumed so.”
“But why did you ask such an unreasonable request?”
“It may be an unreasonable request, but what good would it be if the Prince of Heaven were to tell you, just in case?”
“…!”
“As the Murim lord, if there is something I can gain from my opponent, I will do whatever it takes to get it. Even if it looks a bit petty and stupid.”
“…okay.”
“But doesn’t that mean you can’t find out what you want by torturing or beating a messenger who came as a representative of another sect? “If we make people who came to ask for help do that, how will the world view the Murim Alliance?”
“They will be seen as a very unruly group.”
“yes. So that’s all I’ve done here. “This is my limit.”
It’s not a limit. Rather, public ambassadors have broken through their limits.
If you become accustomed to secular calculation methods, there is a high possibility that you will move away from Buddhism.
However, even worldly idiots can attain extreme enlightenment and attain Buddhahood in their lives.
The public ambassador did not want to be stern anymore. I tried not to be afraid of immersing myself in the secular world, even if it meant becoming violent and cruel.
“The decision has been made. “I have received an answer of my own from you, so I will just have to discuss future matters with the military.”
The public ambassador stood up.
Why?
Cheon Hyo-rak asked this question without realizing that all he could do was to bow his head and say thank you and see you later.
“Do you want to go further?”
The public ambassador smiled.
“Can you see it?”
“…I do not know.”
“Now that I have become the first Murim Lord, I am trying to obtain the qualifications appropriate to that status.”
“…!”
“The heavens and earth are filled with anguish, so closing your eyes and moving forward does not mean that the dregs of anguish will not stick to you. “It was just not visible to me.”
“….”
“Now I’m going to open my eyes proudly and face the world’s troubles.”
Flash!
The golden eyes of the ambassador pressed down on Cheon Hyo-rak’s shoulders.
Cheon Hyo-rak swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
‘this is…!’
The public ambassador’s eyes and his prayers.
It’s similar yet different from when we first met. The temperaments are similar, but the direction in which energy is looking is different.
Jinki is turning his head to a higher, more distant place.
A person who has transcended human limitations but is still clearly human is now trying to throw off the shell of a human being and move on to the path of God.
It’s the same, it’s different, it’s different, but it’s the same.
“Please… I hope that the Archduke is there.”
“The Archduke is already in my heart.”
The ambassador turned around.
“All I have to do is throw myself into that heart.”
Cheon Hyorak’s heart ached! I felt it ringing. This is because the last words of the public ambassador somehow touched my heart.
When the public ambassador disappeared like that, Zhuge Wenhu spoke.
“It hasn’t been officially declared yet, so please don’t spread rumors.”
“Although I am an inexperienced and clumsy customer, I can tell the difference between when I should speak loudly and when I should not. Do not worry.”
“Thank goodness.”
Cheon Hyorak cleared his throat.
“Then how about support…?”
“First of all, I plan to send it after the leader appointment ceremony is over. There is no need to worry about being delayed too long. “It will be announced three days later, and the appointment ceremony will be completed in a simple manner.”
“thank you.”
“However, we need to think about who should be sent as reinforcements…”
Cheon Hyo-rak was nervous.
Zhuge Wenhu looked at Seunghyeonjinin.
Seung Hyun Jin-in nodded. Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.
“I feel very sorry to ask you in this situation, but there is also one person who can handle it better than anyone else.”
“Who is that?”
“The problem is that he… is no longer a member of the Murim Alliance.”
At that moment, Cheon Hyo-rak’s eyes widened.
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
“Would you like to go ask for a favor together?”
