Episode 897
Blood Monk (3)
“Ho.”
His abundant beard was like the color of ashes from a fire.
His gray beard was braided into three braids, and at the end of the beard was a thumb-sized golden ornament. Each of them was an exquisite piece of jewelry with a scary-looking Buddha face like a yaksha.
A face with quite a few wrinkles. But both eyes were clear and deep. Although he appeared to be close to sixty, his eyes held the innocence of a child.
“I expected that they would have sent a large army, but I never thought the black ghosts would have disappeared so quickly.”
The black, white prayer beads around his neck continued to tease the blood-red lyrics. The sound of the prayer beads brushing against the silk cloth was similar to the sound of a snake’s tongue.
A monk’s uniform that is much darker than the lyrics. It is clear that he is a monk who worships Buddha, but the color of his clothes and the atmosphere given by his accessories are by no means static.
The strange incongruity between pure eyes and unsophisticated clothing makes the old monk seem like an unusual person.
And the old monk was looking into a red bead the size of a child’s head.
“Well, that’s the end.”
“Of course it is.”
The old monk burst into laughter.
It was a laugh that was as clear and pleasant to hear as the eyes.
“Even though they are at the very end, they have mastered the art of 韋駄, but I didn’t know they would oxidize so quickly.”
“Aren’t they the only ones who know how to do other than that, such as spraying memorization or throwing nets?”
“The Dark Demons are a group that was originally created by drawing on the miscellaneous skills of those from the eastern continent. Zen masters who wanted to understand their studies better brought them in and taught them.”
“If that is the limit of those on the continent, then there is no need to find out more.”
“That’s another problem.”
The old monk tapped the bead with an object in his hand.
The object was a gold jewel. Among Geumgangjeo, it has the shape of a single-legged sword, and it was like looking at an ornately decorated dagger.
“It is the Continent b*stards who defeated those b*stards who learned those minor tricks in one fell swoop.”
“Still, they must have sent some experts called the Murim League.”
“Even though it was a short-term study, it was a risky study. “It’s not usually difficult to catch a dark spirit that’s over 60 years old so easily while it’s moving.”
“Even though they learned the Wei Taesin (韋駄body), they haven’t mastered even half of it. “If I just send ten Rakshas under my command, I can wipe them out in no time.”
“Definitely.”
A small red dot appeared in the pupil of the innocent old monk. It was red, almost blood-red, just like the lyrics he was wearing.
“If someone like Cheon Hyo-rak or something has requested assistance, there is a high probability that an absolute expert who has reached the level of Buddhist scriptures will also be involved.”
The man with his arms crossed behind the old monk flinched.
Hyeolbulgyeong means a state that transcends everything that heaven has granted to humans.
There are quite a few masters in Seojang Murim who have reached the level of Buddhist scriptures. This monstrous monk before my eyes was also a monster who had attained blood-blasphemy twenty years ago.
But such monsters did not only exist in Seojang Murim.
A small number of them exist in distant places like Xinjiang and Mongolia, a land filled with endless plains and desert wilderness. Furthermore, I don’t know how many more monsters have reached blood blasphemy in the Blood God Church that has completely taken over this world.
Of course, he himself was a person who experienced the grace of blood and fire three years ago.
So he couldn’t believe it.
“I still can’t believe that in the land of those uneducated b*stards, there are many masters who have reached the point of blood blasphemy.”
“is it?”
“They call them the Seongcheon Thirteen Chairs, right? So to speak, there are thirteen people who have attained blood blasphemy. Does that even make sense? “They are people who practice minor tricks in the outskirts.”
“Of course not thirteen.”
“I guess so.”
“It’s more than that. “Those who have reached the point of blood and fire.”
“…?!”
“Among them, they call those who are especially exceptional, those who have reached the level of Blood Buddhism and built their own world through longer training, as Seongcheon.”
There was a light of disbelief in the man’s eyes.
The Buddhist scriptures were a state in which a small being born in a human body opened its own nirvana in this world. It is a state of enlightenment where you feel with your body and energy that the ground you stand on with both feet is not everything in the world.
He could not admit that there were so many people who had reached such a supreme state. He was praised as one of the greatest geniuses in the history of Daerae, and it wasn’t until he was in his mid-40s that he reached that level.
“I heard from the Gwanghyeol side that one of the people belonging to Seongcheon was looking for Saeum and got into a fight.”
“Is that so?”
“I heard that the head of the Saeum sect personally came forward because he was the same number as two masters who had reached the level of Buddhism.”
The man’s eyes wavered.
“What was the result?”
“Of course it was a landslide victory for the Saeum cult. Because the expert had already lost a lot of his strength. “Of course, even if we fight in perfect condition, I don’t think the Four Masters will lose.”
“Of course it is.”
“However, I heard that the expert’s martial arts were quite unique among the martial arts on the continent, so the Master of the Saeum Church coveted him.”
The man openly expressed his displeasure.
“Yes, it’s nothing more than a trick of ignorant worms.”
The old monk smiled.
“Where are you going to hit it yourself? With those idiots who use dirty tricks?”
“Me?”
“I told you. “It is highly likely that among those who practice Cheonhyorak, there are masters who have attained blood Buddhist sutras.”
“Really?”
“Cheon Hyorak went to request support from the Murim Alliance and is coming back this way. The speed is also very fast. “What could be the reason?”
The man’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you confident?”
“It is known that the martial arts skills of the Shinmarimju are comparable to those of the three sect masters. Although they don’t know about Gwanghyeol, they say it’s not inferior in any way to myths and evil spirits. “Of course, I’ve never actually seen it.”
“….”
“Since the Shinmarimju is locked in prison, wouldn’t you have thought that there was a master who could harm him?”
It made sense.
No, he must have thought so.
Shinmarimju is what those on the mainland call a demon ship and is an absolute master who is counted among the top three in Seongcheon. Of course, they would have sent a master who had reached the level of blood and Buddha.
‘If it really exists.’
The male Daegeumbul (大金佛) said.
“The chairperson here is the blood-red spirit monk. “If the priest has made that judgment, you can just give him an order.”
The old monk called a blood monk, who people commonly call a blood monk, chuckled.
“Any way I look at it, you should have come our way. “A person born and raised in Daerei talks like a soldier who lives and dies by orders.”
“Stop talking about that now.”
Daegeumbul once again showed an unpleasant look.
The blood monk shrugged his shoulders.
“Whatever.”
He turned his eyes to the beads again.
The blood monk closed his eyes and muttered something. It was similar to, but completely different from, the language of Cheonchukguk (天竺國), whose meaning I could not understand.
Ugh.
A dark red haze rose from the blood monk’s body.
The white energy that flowed from his mouth as he mumbled as if he was performing a spell mixed with the dark red haze and surrounded the bead.
Daegeumbul frowned.
‘No matter how I look at it, it’s a feeling I can’t get used to.’
Soreoeumsa’s martial arts developed independently.
However, it was not only martial arts that developed. The Shaoreum Temple had transformed into a crazy group that wanted to purify the world with a blood-soaked Buddha on its back.
Any method is used to suppress the opponent. Although he was not good at strategy and tactics, in addition to martial arts, he was also able to use strange magic that I did not know how he made.
‘It’s similar to the death energy exuding from a freshly dead body.’
After a while.
Wooooow!
The beads began to emit red light.
“Hoo.”
The blood monk opened his eyes and smiled.
In Daegeumbul’s eyes, it was just a strange bead emitting red light, but the blood monk was looking hundreds of miles away inside the bead.
It was a tactic close to the supernatural power that people in the world often talk about. The place where the Six Paths trick, which was said to have been created by later generations to commemorate the greatness of Buddha, was actually implemented was Soreoeumsa Temple.
Of course, there was no one who could properly handle the meat. Even so, with the exception of Cheon-rime (千里眼) and Cheon-yi (天耳通), they were only theoretical magics, and the two spells of Cheon-eye (cheon-eye) and Cheon-yi (cheon-yi) could only be performed if certain conditions were met.
Among them, the person who knew how to use the magic of clairvoyance through beads was a blood monk.
“That’s amazing. “We’ve already passed almost all of Shaanxi.”
Daegeumbul was surprised.
“Already? “How long has it been since the dark demons were wiped out?”
“Actually, it was two days ago that the black ghosts were completely exterminated. “It’s just that the wandering dark ghost’s soul couldn’t reach the reincarnation and took time to come here.”
Daegeumbul could not understand at all what the blood monk was talking about.
“So did you see them?”
“Only half.”
“hmm? “What does that mean?”
The blood monk frowned.
“It looks like Seongcheon was definitely dispatched. “I saw some of their faces and that they had reached the end of Shaanxi, but I couldn’t see the rest.”
“What does that have to do with the existence of Sheng Tian?”
“It is impossible to see those who have reached the level of Buddhist scriptures and are surrounded by heavenly energy. To be precise, they are people for whom clairvoyance or the magic of Cheonyitong does not work.”
The blood monk’s eyes deepened.
“I understand this one thing. “It’s not just one person.”
“…Not just one?”
“There are more than two. “If it had been one, it wouldn’t have looked so dark.”
Daegeumbul shook his head.
“I have no idea what the blood monk is talking about.”
“I don’t know. There is nothing to think deeply about. “The important thing is how to deal with these guys.”
“If there is a master who has truly reached the level of blood Buddhism, there is no point in sending the dark spirits, right? Even elite dark spirits would die without being able to use their hands properly.”
“hmm.”
“In the meantime, shouldn’t we save the guy who is Cheon Hyo-rak or something and take him with us?”
“yes.”
The blood monk, who was quietly lost in thought, suddenly asked.
“How many Rakshasa did you bring?”
“One hundred.”
Daegeumbul’s voice was full of fear. Still, the fact that he had brought in as many as one hundred Rakshalas seemed quite surprising.
The blood monk nodded.
“The Hongnahan I brought with me are eighteen years old. “I had a hard time calling out the bad guys.”
Daegeumbul’s eyes wavered.
The Hong Arhats of Soreoeum Temple were as famous as the continental Arhats were to the Arhats of Shaolin.
They even said that being a blood monk was a bad thing. Considering that Hyeolseung was the previous elder of Soroeumsa Temple, the Hong Arhats he called meant the Arhats distributed at the level of the head of the time.
If you were eighteen Hongnahan, it would be difficult to guarantee victory or defeat even if you fought against a hundred Rakshachals.
“Have you come to fight a war?”
“If we don’t handle this properly, even if the three religions eat the continent, the land we can take over may decrease.”
“….”
The blood monk put the beads into a large pouch.
“I guess I’ll have to bring in everyone except the dark ghosts who were dispatched in advance. “I tried to reduce their stamina, but it wouldn’t have meant much.”
“if?”
“This is not the time to take things slow. “If we continue like this, it will only increase the enemy’s morale.”
The blood monk’s once pure eyes gradually became stained with vicious madness.
“Call everyone. “We need to strike and get rid of it quickly.”
