Episode 443The future on the sword (5)
It wasnât just Hwaun who was surprised.
âthis person.â
Jeongan looked at Yeonhojeong with shaking eyes.
Even if you donât know about the world, you can know it well. And if people know themselves well, they can know the world well.
Jeongan still didnât know much about people, let alone the world. This is because there were not many people she met with whom she shared her true feelings.
However, if the other person truly opens their heart, you can read their mind.
So Jeong An was able to read Yeon Ho Jeongâs feelings to some extent.
âanger? âPity?â
A personâs emotions are not dominated by any one thing. It tends to be very complicated.
Jeong An read Yeon Ho Jeongâs complicated mind. Among them, the most prominent emotions were anger and sadness.
âWhat are you angry about? âWhatâs so sad?â
Yeon Ho-jeong continued speaking to Hwa-un, who did not respond.
âI hope you donât misunderstand and listen. I am not saying that Botaam will also fail because so many other sects have failed. In the same sense, many sects have attempted to promote peace and well-being, and there is no reason why Botaam cannot promote the same cause. âIt is outside the freedom of the organization.â
âOf course I do.â
âHowever, in the eyes of this narrow-minded person, what the distinguished guest is saying seems inconsistent.â
âYou mean inconsistent?â
âAre you going to a great effort to relieve the suffering common people and promote peace and well-being in the world? It could be so. But is such a method only possible if a swordsman comes from your tribe?â
Hwaun said calmly.
âAs I said, this child is the candidate who fits the qualifications for the next prosecutor. âIf only this childâs strength and gentlenessâ¦.â
âAt the same time, the distinguished guest believes that only if Geomhu exists in order for Botha to use his power for the world.â
âyes?â
âIs Geomhu really that great? How can I obtain the position of Geomhu? A title given to someone with outstanding martial arts skills? Or is it a title that can only be obtained if one has exceptional enlightenment? Or is he a divine being who will one day save the world, like Mirae Buddha, as spoken of in Buddhism?â
ââ¦!â
âIf the opposing tribe produces a sword master, does that mean the way to contribute to peace disappears?â Seará´h the NôvelFire.nÑt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI think you misunderstood the leader, but Iâll say it again, this kid isâ¦â
âWhy do you want to join the martial arts team?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes narrowed.
âCan we work for peace only if we join the martial arts community, open a sect, and become an organization recognized by everyone? There is a way to simply blend into the lives of the common people, or at the very least, there is a way to use your fame to enrich the common people with wealth. How can you join the martial arts team?â
âHojang.â
âI told you a little while ago. There is no consistency in the guest of honorâs words. In order for the distinguished guestâs words to be consistent, one fact must be set straight.â
ââ¦?â
âIf you want to produce a swordsman from your tribe and become the owner of Botaam and live a happy life, then what you have said so far is consistent.â
Hwaunâs face hardened.
âYour words are harsh.â
âDid I misunderstand?â
âof course. Iâve told you this several times. Geomhu, who was the symbol of Botaam, must now become a real force. And in order to do thatâ¦â
âSo why does it have to be strength?â
âyes?â
âItâs okay if you donât join the martial arts team. Shall I be more honest? âIf you go to martial arts, all you can gain is despair and a sense of self-destruction, stained with blood and death.â
âHojang.â
âIf Botaam is a temple and not a sect, then the true power you have is not military power but Buddhist mind. But why do you want to come into the world armed?â
ââ¦!â
âShouldnât you go out into the world with your sincere Buddhahood, which is what you do best? Is it possible for Geomhu to become a Buddha? âWhy are you so obsessed with the aftermath of the sword?â
âWhat do you mean obsession? âYour words are harsh.â
âIf itâs not obsession, itâs that you truly believe that Bota can only use his power for the world if a Geomhu comes from your tribe.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes were filled with harsh energy.
Those eyes were neither the eyes of the Dark Emperor nor the eyes of the Byeoksanhojang. It was closer to the gaze of a stern senior who had lived longer and experienced more than the other person.
Is that why? Hwaunâs face, which had been distorted with anger and displeasure, instantly became stiff.
âIf it werenât for the idiots in Bothaam, you wouldnât know how ridiculous that is. âIf you believe that it is the only truth and salvation, then you should first learn common sense before practicing to go out into the world.â
âIf youâre insulting Bothaamâ¦!â
âSince when?â
ââ¦?!â
âSince when did we start hoping for success in the secular world by going out into the world, talking about ancient history, and using the symbol of Geomhu in the name of saving the common people?â
âGreat!â
âArenât you ashamed? In front of your successors?â
âWhat?â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Jeong-an.
Jeong An was looking at Yeon Ho Jeong with trembling eyes.
âYou have done a good job raising your successor. âTo the extent that it makes me look back on how I was once convinced that strength was the best value to end the turbulent times.â
ââ¦!â
âAs you can see, I am stubborn, arrogant, and an idiot who doesnât even listen to what other people say. Would you change your mind if tens of thousands of swords were pointed at a guy like me? âDo you want to do something like reflect?â
ââ¦.â
âBut this Sozer did it. It made me look back at myself in the past. It was the power of the eyes and mind, not the sword. âSojeo, who is weaker than me, did something that even tens of thousands of experts could not do.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
His smile towards Jeong An seemed to belong to a completely different person than when he sternly reprimanded Hwaun.
âYou need strength. That thought has not changed yet. However, the more people like this Sojeo, the less space there will be for power.â
ââ¦.â
âI think thatâs a way to bring about a little bit of peace, which we never know will happen.â
Hwaun said in a stern tone.
âYou are more immature than me.â
âDo you see it?â
âis it so. The world cannot be changed just by the smiles of good people. Because he knows that, Botha is trying to go out into the world. âTo become a little stronger.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âI wonât stop you. There is no reason to stop it. But that cannot be a reason why a swordsman should come from your tribe.â
ââ¦Itâs a shame.â
Grumble.
Hwaun roughly stood up from his seat.
âThey say Chief Byeoksanho is a genius whose vision is as good as his skills, but itâs very different from what I heard.â
âRumors are sometimes exaggerated. âI am not as great a person as they say.â
âis it so. I realized once again that rumors cannot be trusted. âThis is why the world is so scary.â
Jeongan looked at Hwaun in confusion.
âAccident! âYouâre talking too much!â
âShut up!â
It was a stronger reprimand than ever before. No, it wasnât a reprimand, it was more of a nervous reaction.
Jeongan was surprised. No matter how much he changed, he had never reacted like this to himself.
Hwaun glared at Yeonhojeong with burning eyes.
âThey said that if we went to the Murim Alliance headquarters, it would be difficult to get a proper answer because they were fighting among themselves. So you are the one who came here. At least, Byeoksanhojang was said to be a person who could represent the Murim Alliance of the time.â
âDid you hear that?â
âI heard that, but Iâm afraid itâs not true. âSomeone like you can never represent an organization.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âGood to see. âExcept for people who have too much of what they lack.â
âYou took a useless step. I enjoyed the tea. Wake up right now.â
The sight didnât happen. I just looked at Hwaun with shaking eyes.
Hwaun shouted.
âEven if you wake up!â
Yeon Ho-jeong asked then.
âWhat makes you so angry?â
âI donât want to hear any more.â
âWhen did you start prioritizing your own pride and desires over the eyes and heart of the successor you regarded as your child?â
âShut up!â
In an instant, Yeon Ho-jeongâs tone changed.
âDo you think there is no one like you?â
Hwaun flinched. The opponentâs mood, which changed in a split second, came as a subtle pressure.
âThere are many people who have sacrificed their lives to come out and change the world. Among them, only a handful of people are sincere in their words. And unfortunately, none of those handful of people made their dreams come true.â
âNo matter what you say, I wonât listen.â
âYeah, mostly like you. âEnlightenment is something that can be achieved even while walking the path, but what is worse, it made even you, the practitioner, close your ears and not be able to contemplate yourself.â
ââ¦!â
âThat is desire. âYou lost to desire.â
âshut up!â
hook!
A bitter energy wave erupted from Hwaunâs body.
Although she looked like an ordinary person when she was captured, the energy that started to radiate out transformed her into a top expert.
Surprisingly, the level of the energy wave was almost close to Yeonhojeong. Bothaamâs potential was proven just by showing off his energy.
âSuch an insult to someone who follows Buddhist law! âIf you werenât a general of the Murim Alliance, I wouldnât have let you go!â
âYou mean he would have killed him?â
ââ¦okay.â
Hwaunâs eyes glowed maliciously.
His wounded pride was in front of the tribeâs successor.
Before she knew it, she was angry, hurt by the pride she had created as an illusion.
âI would have killed him.â
Jeongan shouted.
âAccident!!â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âWrong.â
ââ¦?â
âThe person you need to kill is not me, but Buddha. âEven I, who am not a practitioner, know the fact that in order to reach the truth through enlightenment, you need a pulpit that would kill even the Buddha.â
âA handyman who has mastered the humble radish of the world is discussing Buddhism with me?!â
âAt least it seems like Iâm closer to the law than you are right now. âI have never read a single line of Buddhist scripture.â
âThis guyâ¦!â
Slurp.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
âI apologize in advance.â
âShut up! âI wonât listen to your apologies!â
âIn the first place, I had no intention of just sending you away.â
âwhat?!â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head.
âAre you looking well?â
Yeon Ho-jeong asks into empty space.
Surprisingly, there was an answer coming from thin air.
âI saw it. And I heard it.â
Hwaun and even Jeongan were surprised. The two people had no idea that someone else was hiding here.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
âFirst of all, what do you think of the monk who killed the Buddha?â
âItâs just a shame.â
There was no emotion other than genuine sadness in the voice of the person saying he was sorry.
Words and emotions match exactly. It was a heavy voice with not a trace of lie in it.
Hwaun shouted.
âWho are you?â
Slurp.
A person who appears out of thin air.
He was none other than Beom-oh.
âAmitabha Buddha. âGreetings to the enlightened people of Shaolinâs Beomgoga Bota.â
