Episode 115. Are you talking about Japatri?
Master Hyeonbaek, the head of Shaolin Temple, did not say anything for a long time.
A thousand random thoughts passed through my head.
It’s been three years since the famous church reappeared in the world.
A lot has happened in the meantime.
Yi Yeon-ik, the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword, lost one of his arms to the swordsman of the Milky Way, Cheok Jin-gyeong.
The Namgung family was destroyed by Wolha Seonja of Wolha Church and Musan Nangnang of Musan Sochuk.
Wolha Seonja destroyed the Waryongjang clan in Luoyang and built a church in its place as a token of retribution.
It goes without saying that the Jingui League’s Luoyang branch and the Luoyang martial arts community also suffered fatal damage.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are now a world-famous religious group, but in reality, very little is known about them.
The owners of the Milky Way and the Wolha Church are the Baekdu Horse Army, and under them are the Ten Headed Horse Soldiers?
There was a clash in the Milky Way, but only catastrophic damage was sustained and no information was gathered about the enemy.
Seok Mu-hae, the Demon Lord of Pacheonma, spoke to Ambassador Hyun Baek, who was in deep thought.
“Please keep this in mind. Our patrol chief alone can wipe out the Tripitaka. Even if I withdraw the Tripitaka’s non-existence, it will be difficult for the Tripitaka to survive.”
“Can you tell me what crime the monk has committed against the general patrol of the Nokrim?”
“They said it was just a personal favor. I don’t know, but they must know.”
“Haa, Amitabha Buddha… … .”
Ambassador Hyun Baek, who was feeling frustrated, started reciting a Buddhist prayer without realizing it.
The most difficult thing in the world to resolve is personal grudges. Most conflicts between sects are resolved through compensation. However, personal problems cannot be resolved through material means.
‘Why didn’t the general patrol take action?’
Ambassador Hyun Baek was rather curious about that.
Considering the cruel nature of Nokrimdo, Samjang should have already been destroyed. However, he only torments Samjang through indirect methods such as the Samjang Bulrip.
‘Bullying? I see. It was meant to harass.’
What he wants may not be the monk’s ‘life’ but his ‘suffering’.
Thinking about it that way, I felt a sense of relief.
Anyway, since he was caught by the Green Forest Patrol, the downfall of the monk is an unavoidable reality.
“I know it may be a bit much, but I have a favor to ask. Please do it.”
Ambassador Hyun Baek looked at Seok Mu Hae with earnest eyes.
It was absolutely necessary for the Chilpai clan to prepare for war with the famous sect.
The door to the teahouse opened and Master Hyeonbaek, the head of Shaolin Temple, came out.
Ambassador Hyun Baek disappeared somewhere along with the unmanned people blocking the entrance. It didn’t even take a moment (15 minutes) for the unmanned people to rush in and block the door before disappearing.
People who had gathered nearby out of curiosity entered the tea house one by one. The tea house accepted customers as if nothing had happened.

Jeongju branch of the Justice League.
Branch manager Seungun Swordsman Ma Cheon-deok received a summons from his subordinate and left the guest room.
After a while, he returned and looked at the heads of the three clans (Baekgajang, Yanggajang, and Waryongjang) with puzzled eyes.
Mu Cheon Geom Baek Seung Ho, whose eyes met his at that moment, asked urgently.
“Daehyeop Ma, is there any news? It is said that the Shaolin Temple’s Jangmunin and Pacheonmagun met?”
Ma Cheon-deok, who had been hesitating, let out a sigh.
“Ha! I don’t know what the situation is, but I’ll tell you what I heard. I heard that Master Hyeonbaek met with the Pacheonma Army and returned to Sungsan.”
“What have you decided to do about the Three Books of Buddha?”
“He didn’t say anything.”
“Then shouldn’t we return the favor at least! Are you telling us to close the door like this?”
“The decision on the Murimcheop is up to the leader, so it’s hard for me to say anything. I sent a messenger to the commandery yesterday, so you should receive a reply within a few days. Please be patient and wait a few more days. I’ll do my best to make sure that the heads of the families are not harmed… … .”
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Ju-hwan of Ihwa Shinchang shouted.
“Nonsense! Wait a few more days! The disciples have already been kicked out and the business rights have been taken away. What more do you want me to wait for? Speak clearly! Are you saying that Jeongui Maeng is going to abandon our monk now?”
“Are you saying I’ll throw it away? Absolutely not. The Justice Alliance will live and die together with the Blood Alliance. Please wait a few more days until the General Assembly responds.”
Baek Seung-ho, who was enraged for a moment, jumped up from his seat and started swearing.
“Listen! How many days! Didn’t you say earlier that Master Hyunbaek would take care of it! Why did Master Hyunbaek just go back to Shaolin Temple? If Master Hyunbaek had just gone back, wouldn’t it have been over! Are you treating us like children? I don’t know what you’re up to with Nokrim, but you treat the Blood Alliance like dogs and think the Justice Alliance will do well! Not at all! I’ll watch with my own eyes how far the Justice Alliance goes!”
“Bae, Baek Daehyeop, what a sad thing to say. I don’t know why Ambassador Hyeonbaek just left, but I’m sure there will be good news from the headquarters. It really is.”
Baek Seung-ho, who was trembling with anger, looked at Yang Ju-hwan and Yeon Mu-baek and said.
“Yang Gaju, Yeon Gaju, let’s go. If we stay here, all we’ll hear is obvious talk, so let’s go out and come up with a plan among ourselves. I don’t think this is the time to just sit back and do nothing.”
Yang Ju-hwan nodded.
If you continue to believe in the Justice League, your family will surely fall into ruin.
“Son-in-law, let’s go together. Anyway, this place is just talk, so it seems like we’ll have to go there ourselves.”
“yes.”
Yeonmu Baek couldn’t raise his face as if he had committed a crime.
The Baek family and Yang family only know that Samjang Bulrip is the commander of the Green Forest Patrol, Yeonjeokha.
What would happen if it was revealed that Yeonjeokha was his half-brother and that the background to this incident was the ten years of abuse he had endured at Waryongjang?
But rather than that, will Samjang be able to receive forgiveness from Yeonjeokha?
I regret not being more proactive in seeking out Yeonjeokha the last time the speaker came.
‘Haa! I should have met Jeokha back then somehow… … I was foolish.’
I ignored it because I thought it was something that happened in the past and that I had nothing to do with it. I did the same thing fourteen years ago, and I just stood by and watched this time too.

Namjikryeoseong.
Nanjing.
Justice League General Assembly.
Two messengers arrived from the Hanam Province Zhengzhou branch office a day apart. The one sent a day earlier was from Zhengzhou branch manager Ma Cheon-deok, and the other was from Shaolin Temple’s Jangmunin.
Jang Gang-ho, the leader of the wind and rain who was looking at the two side by side, picked up his brush and wrote in one stroke.
[Drop out three people and send them to the Green Forest Patrol Commander Yeon Jeok-ha, and gather information on the Ten Horse Soldiers.]
From the perspective of Jang Kang-ho, the leader, it was perhaps natural.
The Justice League is now secretly preparing for war with the famous religion.
However, there was no accurate information about the inaction of the Sipduma Byeong, which could be considered the root of the famous religion.
Regarding Baekdu Horse Army, we confirmed through Honsegeomma Cheok Jin-gyeong, Wolha Seonja, and Musan Nangnang Lee Mae-hwa that their martial arts skills were comparable to those of the ten best masters.
The problem is their limbs, the Ten Horsemen.
There was no data on how much they had changed from being merely current-level masters to supernatural beings. Shouldn’t we know whether they were at the level of the Chilpaimun’s greatest disciples, or nearing elders, or even elders, in order to devise countermeasures?
At that time, Ambassador Hyun Baek advised, ‘You should go with Yeon Jeok-ha, the general patrolman of the Green Forest, and obtain information on the Sipdu Horse Army.’
Jang Kang-ho thought, ‘I need to send someone to monitor whether Nokrim is really going to war with the famous religion.’
Since we are doing this by giving up our blood oath (Tripartite Brotherhood), there shouldn’t be any problems, right?

Settlement.
Jeongju branch of the Justice League.
“… … For that reason, I would like to entrust the three of you with an important task. Your mission is to accompany the Green Forest Patrol Commander Yeon Jeok-ha and find out the whereabouts of the Ten Horsemen. Is there anyone who would like to be left out of this matter?”
At the words of Jeongju Branch Manager Seungun Swordsman Ma Cheon-deok, the two men looked at each other.
Seolchasu of Cheondomun, Yu Geun-sik of Geumgeommun, and Jinseolhada of Changinmun.
Unlike Ma Cheon-deok, who was a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, the three men and women were from the military aristocracy of Zhengzhou.
He asked as if he was curious about the snow level.
“Um, but is there a particular reason why you chose us?”
“That’s because you guys are the youngest. Since Yeonjeokha is now twenty years old, I chose people who are easy to get along with. Why? Is there a problem?”
“no.”
Seol Cha-su nodded with a convinced expression.
He was twenty-three, Yu Geun-sik was twenty-two, and Jin Seol-ha was twenty-one. In fact, they were the three youngest people selected from the Jeongju branch.
This time, the pretty Jin Seol-ha blurted out a word.
“Hehehe! When you say that I should go on patrol and get along well, are you saying that I should fall asleep when I get the chance?”
Ma Cheon-deok frowned at her sudden words.
Jin Seol-ha, a disciple of Changinmun, had a handsome face, but his actions were very talkative.
“No way. You should stop your habit of just saying whatever you want. The leader is watching with interest. Others are watching too, so please be careful.”
“Phew! You said we’d get along well sometimes. When young men and women get along… … .”
“Oh, but still.”
When Ma Cheon-deok became angry, Seol Cha-su stabbed Jin Seol-ha.
“Sister Jin, stop it. You know I’m serious.”
“Oh, yes.”
Jin Seol-han, who had answered dryly, turned his head in a different direction and pouted his lips.
Ma Cheon-deok, who had been shaking his head at the sight, continued speaking.
“The place where Yeonjeok-ha is staying now is the 7th floor of Jeongjujeil-ru. He said he’ll be leaving tomorrow, so it would be a good idea to meet him this evening. We can get to know each other a bit better.”
“yes.”
Seol Cha-su answered on behalf of the group.
Ma Cheon-deok left after giving the three a few more warnings.
***
Jeongju Jeilru.
Around dusk, a man and a woman set foot on Jeongju Jeilru.
Seolchasu, Yugeunsik, and Jinseolhada.
The three of them looked around as if they were still unfamiliar with the terrain as they ascended.
Finally reaching the seventh floor, they looked around the room with curious eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was a strange bed near the front window.
A bed in a loft?
The three of them glanced at each other before turning their gaze to the table next to the bed.
An old man and a young man who still looks like a boy.
Seeing that there are only two people on the wide seventh floor, they seem to be Nokrim General Patrol Officer Yeon Jeok-ha and his party.
Seol Cha-su approached, leading Yu Geun-sik and Jin Seol-ha.
“Hello. I am from the Jeongju branch of the Justice League… .”
At that moment, Gucheonnodo Simtong cut off his words bluntly.
“That’s it. The introductions have been made, so if you want to eat together, sit down. If not, leave.”
“… … .”
Seol Cha-su turned his head towards Yu Geun-sik and Jin Seol-ha.
Unlike Yoo Geun-sik, who was hesitating, Jin Seol-ha nodded actively.
In the end, Yoo Geun-sik also nodded, swept up in the atmosphere.
We’re leaving tomorrow, and rather than going back without even announcing our names, it would be better to eat together. I don’t know if it’s alcohol or a meal.
Seolchasu and Yugeunsik sat down next to the old man, observing his expression.
Jin Seol-ha sat down next to Yeon Jeok-ha as if it was a given.
Since there are no empty seats, it would be right to go there, but judging by the look in Jinseolha’s eyes, it seems like he was aiming for it.
Jang Bo-ok came running to see the new guest.
He said it as if his heart was bothering him.
“Bring out food according to the number of people.”
“Yes, I hope you have a good time.”
Jang Bo-ok returned smiling brightly, as if she had been feeling relieved for the past few days.
Then, all of a sudden, Jin Seol-ha came rushing in.
“That person is Seolchasu 23 of Cheondomun, this person is Yu Geun-sik 22 of Geumgeommun, and I am Jin Seol-ha of Changinmun. Please take good care of me.”
Simtong asked with a sly smile, “Do you like her shameless personality?”
“But why don’t you tell me your age?”
“Hehe, I’m twenty-one. I heard I’m a year older than Yeon So-hyeop. Is that right?”
Jin Seol-ha pushed her face close to Yeon Jeok-ha.
Yeon-jeok-ha, who felt a bit burdened by her approach, slowly moved his upper body back.
Wuxia,
