Episode 315The Wheel Rolls (3)
âHow is it?â
âvery good.â
âHehe, I liked it.â
A large monk in his mid-thirties was drinking tea in front of the grinning Master Gong.
There was admiration on the face of the public ambassador.
âItâs been five years since I kicked myself out of the position of One Arhat and became a monk. Your efforts so far have paid off. âThere is nothing lacking as the next head of Nahandang.â
Monk Beom-o shook his head.
âI am not interested in the leadership of the Handang Party. âIf we can just compete in dance consistently, thatâs fine.â
The public ambassador clicked his tongue.
âBuddhism is a law that does not discriminate between civil and martial arts, so I was wondering if the monkish spirit in your heart would calm down through your training, but it seems to have gotten worse than before you entered the temple.â
âhaha.â
Beom-oh smiled.
âI have devoted myself to Buddhism, so there will come a day when my passion for winning will become moderate under the mercy of the Buddha.â
âTsk, thatâs absurd. âBefore you rely on Buddhism, you must first control your troubled mind.â
âThatâs right. âI am aware of it.â
The public ambassador shook his head.
âItâs not like I canât understand your harsh disposition since you were the one facing the death penalty. However, quarrels always lead to disaster. âI will take care of it, but I will always have to lower my head and try to see the lives of suffering sentient beings first.â
âIâll keep that in mind.â
After gaining fame as the Sun of Wulin, Shaolin threw himself into countless conflicts.
It was not because the Shaolin monk was greedy for the secular world. Most of the conflicts were aimed at punishing evil, and that is why the name Shaolin has survived for a thousand years.
However, those years of hardship brought about great changes in Shaolin.
Since Shaolin has set foot in the world, martial arts that can resolve worldly strife is essential. If we renounce the teachings of Buddha and give up the invasion of external enemies and the indoctrination of evil, more sentient beings will suffer.
This was the reason why Luohan Hall, a symbol of Shaolin martial arts, was created. And Nahandangju was a monk who represented the martial arts of Shaolin.
Of course, there were many monks whose martial arts skills were actually stronger than that of Lord Nahandang. Nevertheless, the reason why the position of leader of Nahandang was so great was because he was a person who represented the will of Shaolin.
From an early age, Beom-oh was gifted with martial arts skills and far surpassed not only his classmates but even his brothers-in-law.
It was truly amazing. This is because Shaolin martial arts are based on a deep understanding of Buddhism beyond simple talent.
In other words, Beom-o was not just a simple martial artist. With his excellent understanding and deep understanding of Buddhism, he was highly anticipated by Shaolin and was designated as the next leader.
But heaven does not give everything to one person.
Beom-oh was born with great talent in Shaolin martial arts, but even though his competitive spirit was strong, he was too strong.
That fiery desire to win did not diminish even with age, and eventually the majority opinion was to leave Nahandang in charge before the next head of the room.
And now that I have finished five years of hardship.
Although Beom-oh had amassed enough military strength to become the leader of the Nahandang, he still could not give up his fiery desire to win.
âJust because you have the will to win, doesnât mean you can be ruled. âIt goes without saying that your talent is outstanding, but there are many talents in the world that rival or surpass yours.â
Beom-oh smiled slightly.
âIs that so?â
Just by looking at that smile, Ambassador Gong knew that Beom-oh did not acknowledge his words.
The public ambassador clicked his tongue.
âThe spirit of winning is a heart that anyone can have if they have learned martial arts. But arrogance is different. âMaybe your five years of wallowing were not a success but a failure.â
Beom-ohâs expression suddenly changed.
The head of the room, Sasuk, had always scolded me, saying that although I understood Buddhism, my Buddhist devotion was weak, but I had never heard such a scolding before.
Beom-oh bowed his head.
âThe circumstances were poor. âI will reflect on this.â
At least in terms of honesty, he was as bad as anyone else. Ambassador Gong Gong read the sincerity in Beom-oâs apology.
The ambassador nodded and said.
âThere are many opponents in heaven and earth who can put to rest the passion for victory. But the only person who can put arrogance to rest is myself. âKeep in mind.â
âI will keep this in mind, Room Manager Sasuk.â
âOK.â
The two people talked for a long time like that.
âHoo.â
Beom-ohâs eyes also changed.
âThis energyâ¦?â
The public ambassador whetted his appetite.
âYou radiate energy without hesitation. âI donât know that personâs temperament, but he is truly unstoppable.â
âWho is it?â
âCanât you feel it? What is the suffocating poison that resides in this pure, deep sharpness?â
âifâ¦?!â
âokay. It seems that the owner of Sacheondanga has some business for me. Andâ¦â
The ambassadorâs expression became strange.
âThis is such a strange combination. âThe leader of the Tang family and the leader of death are together?â
âyes?â
âIt seems like you canât feel it.â
ââ¦?â
âItâs worth it. It looks like Mu Gong has grown again since I havenât seen him. Itâs truly amazing. âThe smile will never leave Yeongajuâs face.â
âWhat do you mean Yeongaju?â
âI am referring to the head judge of Gangdong Jeilga Byeoksan Yeonga. âHis eldest son is coming with the head of the Tang family.â
Surprise appeared on Beom-ohâs face.
âAre you saying that the head of the family is not coming alone?â
âItâs even coming before the head of the Tang family.â
Beom-oh was shocked.
No matter how strong our prayers were, it was shocking that we could not read the prayers of others before him.
âYeongajuâs eldest son?â
Moreover, after listening to what the room manager Sasuk said, I realized that he was not that old. Since Yeongaju is not yet 50 years old, the eldest son would be around 30 at most.
âBut how?!â
Shaolinâs martial arts skills are absolute. Among the thirteen Seongcheonjwa of the time, the monk Muheo Daesa, who was said to be the closest to the best in the world along with Geomseon, was Shaolin.
Although he is not a martial artist who can reach the feet of Taesa Baekin Muheo Daesa or even Sasukin Gong Daesa, he has learned the orthodox martial arts of Shaolin and has reached a certain level.
But I didnât know. No prayer was read at all.
âNonsense!â
After a while.
âAmbassador Bangjang. I ask to see the head of the Tang family and the commander of the Mortal Army. âWhat should I do?â
âPlease take me inside.â
âAll right.â
Grumble.
The door opened and Dang-gwan and Yeon-ho-jeong appeared.
Ambassador Gong Gong greeted the two people with a smile.
âHehe, come quickly.â
The officer gave a brief reprimand.
âI came here without any message.â
Even royal officials had no choice but to show some formality in front of public ambassadors.
It wasnât because it was Shaolin. Even though I had to deal with various issues, the public ambassador was ârealâ. Among the many people within the organization, he was one of the few whom the party properly respected.
Yeon Ho-jeong also bowed his head politely.
âAmbassador.â
âItâs been a while since I last saw you, Commander Yeon.â
âokay.â
A look of sincere admiration appeared on the public ambassadorâs face.
âHow much are you going to surprise people?â
âyes?â
âI heard that in the past, before the Tang Demon Murdererâs joint military expedition, we divided our hands. The martial arts skills you showed back then were also extremely outstanding. But now I see that it has improved a lot since then.â
âThatâs too much praise.â
âIâm not exaggerating. âIf you have made such progress in just half a year, your talent is truly a gift from heaven.â SÑará´h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
âI just had a small realization. Plus, my father helped me a lot.â
âHehe, I know you have a strong and unstoppable nature. However, you are not conceited. An attitude that is as strict with oneself as oneâs insatiable nature. âHe is a role model for all the martial arts people in the world.â
The public ambassador praised Yeonhojeong more than was necessary. This was because I hoped that Beom-oh, who was right next to me, would hear and understand something.
âI said a lot for no reason. Please sit down first.â
âI understand.â
Dang-gwan and Yeon Ho-jeong sat across from the ambassador.
Even though they entered the room, the two people did not give Beom-oh a glance. I knew he was quite a strong person, but I didnât think he was extraordinary enough to keep paying attention to.
Beom-ohâs eyes shone brightly.
He was shocked after reading the two peopleâs prayers. But what bothered him more than that was the fact that these two people werenât really interested in him.
ââ¦.â
An unknown emotion crept up. Power went into the fist hidden by the hem of the lyrics.
Ambassador Gong asked with a puzzled look.
âSo, why did you two come to this place without any message?â
The official glanced at Yeonhojeong.
âThis bold guy asked me to go with him to the ambassadorâs residence.â
âHuh?â
âI asked why, and he said he would let me know when he arrived. âI also donât know why this guy came to see the ambassador.â
Ambassador Gong Gong turned his gaze to Yeon Ho-jeong.
âCommander Yeon?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âAmbassador.â
âYou tell me.â
âIâll ask you straight to the point.â
âSure.â
âAre you going to boycott this yearâs leadership election?â
Not only the party official but also Beom-oh were surprised.
Ambassador Gong Gong smiled slightly.
âYouâre bringing up a really sensitive topic. Should I really say that itâs like you?â
âI just apologize for asking rude questions without warning.â
âHehehe.â
The public ambassador swept his beard. Although he was said to have a equanimity like a diamond, Yeon Ho-jeongâs question was so important that it was difficult to answer carelessly.
âBefore answering, I would also like to ask you a question.â
âyes.â
âI heard that there are three Bong-gongs running as election candidates. Of course, the military did not tell us the details of the candidates.â
âItâs a fair thing to do.â
âBut predictions are possible. âThe last one is Gingamingahan.â
âI knew you would.â
The public ambassador looked at the party hall.
âAre you looking after the party leader?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âIâm not a supporter, but it just so happens that I also end up jumping on the bandwagon.â
The meaning of those words was clear.
This means that the party official will stand as a candidate in the election. And although it is not a sponsor of the party, Yeonhojeong will act as if it were a sponsor.
The public ambassador closed his eyes.
âI see. âThe head of the Yeonga family has become the supporter of the head of the Tang family.â
âThe Ambassadorâs insight is truly amazing.â
âHehe, what kind of insight? âAnyone can infer something just by looking at the situation.â
âI also understood what the Ambassador said. âI was wondering who the other person was, but he wasnât the ambassador.â
âHehehe.â
Isnât he really a sly snake?
The ambassador asked with a smile on his face the entire time.
âYes, I knew that the head of the Yeonga family supported the head of the Tang family. âIn fact, everyone will know when the bell rings for the start of the election, so knowing in advance will not change anything.â
âMaybe so, maybe not.â
âSo you want to ask whether I am participating in the election?â
âThatâs right.â
âI donât think so.â
âI thought you would, too.â
âBut why do you ask that?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face became serious.
âI was wondering if I could get some help in appointing the head of the party as the vice lord.â
