Chapter 444

Episode 444The future carried by the sword (6)

Hwaun was astonished.

“So Shaolin?!”

Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin’s position within the powerful martial arts world was truly extraordinary.

Shaolin, a worker under heaven. It means that all the learning in the world came from Shaolin. The world’s impression of Shaolin is proven by those seven letters.

However, if you change the area, the story is completely different.

Shaolin Temple boasts the greatest reputation regardless of whether it is white or black.

However, the status of Shaolin in the Buddhist literature of the central plains far surpasses that of the martial arts community.

Bodhidharma, who is said to have brought Buddhism from the distant Cheonchukguk and spread it to the central plains, is said to have achieved enlightenment through a nine-year-old encounter at Sosilbong Peak in Seongsan Mountain, where Shaolin is currently nesting, and founded Zen Buddhism.

There are many tribes in Buddhism, but there is not a single tribe that does not respect Bodhidharma. Naturally, the Shaolin Temple built where Bodhidharma practiced was like a sacred place for Buddhism in the Central Plains.

No matter how excellent Botaam’s swordsmanship is, will it compare to Shaolin’s?

No matter how great Botaam’s reputation is, will it compare to Shaolin?

That is the power of the name Shaolin. Even if there are Buddhists with martial arts skills superior to Shaolin, they cannot touch Shaolin without realizing it.

Naturally, Hwaun froze like a stone in front of the Shaolin monk who suddenly appeared.

Wooooow.

Beomoh bows in respect by raising his head in front of his chest.

The half-funeral was a rite unique to Shaolin. Bodhidharma’s disciple Hye-ga (慧可) cut off one of his arms to gain enlightenment and become one-armed, so Shaolin’s half-funeral ceremony could be said to be a way of greeting that carries on the spirit of Hye-ga.

“Did you just say beom-oh?”

“That’s right. “The dharma name of Hinayana is Bum-o.”

Beom-oh.

Even though I didn’t know anything about the world, I had no choice but to be well-versed in the news that was circulating around the world.

Hwaun’s eyes trembled.

“The next leader of Nahandang…?” S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Beom-oh shook his head.

“Amitabha Buddha. There is no limit to what I am lacking, and I am still in the process of not even being able to grasp the end of the law. “I’m not good enough to take on the position of head of Nahandang at the headquarters.”

scary.

Jeong-an felt scared from Beom-oh’s calm tone.

‘…There is such a person?’

It was due to the inhuman realization she felt when Beom-oh’s words and emotions exactly matched what she first felt.

There was no lie in Beom-oh’s words. Even if you spit out a single word or even a single letter, it contains meaning, but other than that meaning, no other emotions or meanings can be found.

Everything you see in your eyes and say in your voice is the truth.

And it was a power that could put pressure on the opponent much more powerfully than the ferocity of a murderer holding a bloody knife.

Very gently and naturally, without being forceful.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked.

“What do you think of these two people?”

Beom-oh looked at Jeong-an.

He was not making eye contact with Hwaun, who was looking at him with trembling eyes.

Beom-oh, who was looking at Jeong-an, smiled. It was a benevolent smile.

“Your talent and gentleness are extraordinary, so you will be evaluated as extraordinary wherever you go. However, it also shows the wisdom to realize one’s own way without being concerned about evaluation.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“However, there is no law that says that gentleness will necessarily be confined to lawlessness.”

“yes?”

“Isn’t Buddhism an area that you can master by learning it and can’t reach it by not learning it? However, the eyes of the person who is a candidate for Hyegeomjihu (慧劍之后), regardless of their gentleness, truly reach out to the world, so even if they engage in a fight with the secular world rather than Buddhism, they will not stray away from the way of Buddha.”

“Ah…”

“Go where your will leads.” “If you don’t lose your mind even though there is a difficult and thorny path ahead of you, how can the harsh world show only an uneasy side to everyone?”

“….”

“I hope you continue to cultivate your chosen heart. Even if you win a thousand gold and have the best reputation in the world, it will be meaningless if you lose your clear mind.”

Beom-oh bowed his head.

“I sincerely hope that the blessings of Buddha will be with the enlightened one in his future.”

“Thank you.”

It was not a greeting or well-wishes to be received lightly. Jeongan put his hands together and bowed.

‘It’s difficult.’

Beom-o’s story had a puzzling aspect even to Jeong-an, who had read and interpreted various scriptures.

However, just listening to it calmed my mind and seemed to bring a light to my mind that was full of confusion.

Jeong-an pondered Beom-o’s story. In order not to forget a single word, whenever I face a difficult task in the future, I will remember Beom-oh’s words and engrave them in my head to find the answer.

Even that appearance seemed benign to Beom-oh. Beom-oh burst out laughing.

“No matter how great a letter is, how can it contain all of your will and heart? It was called Yeomhwa Sijung (拈華示衆). “I am satisfied as long as my intentions and sincerity are conveyed.”

“Ah yes!”

“And…”

Beom-oh’s eyes turned from Jeong-an to Hwa-un.

flinch!

Hwaun was visibly embarrassed.

It wasn’t because Beom-oh was stronger than her.

‘Why is Shaolin here!?’

I was embarrassed. Because there was a monk here who learned and grew up in the most sacred place in the world.

And I was embarrassed again. Because I didn’t know why I was embarrassed.

‘why? There’s no need for me to do this…’

At that time, Beom-oh’s voice penetrated Hwa-un’s ears.

“The reincarnation that the Buddha spoke of is the principle of the universe, which is the cycle of life and the rules of the world. People who don’t know much about the law probably only know that much.”

“….”

“However, in the opinion of this poor person, I don’t think the monk spoke of killing people with reincarnation in mind.”

In an instant, Hwaun’s complexion turned pale.

Yes. Only then did she realize why she was so embarrassed.

Because he knows he did something wrong. And this is because the mistake was committed in front of no one else but a Shaolin monk called Zen Buddhism.

He showed his worst side in front of others, and in front of an unwritten monk who could not be controlled in the name of Botha. Hwaun’s heart was pounding like crazy.

Beom-oh continued.

His voice, which was full of warmth and comfort, suddenly became as transparent as glass.

“Binseung is not very knowledgeable about martial arts affairs. I’ve just been swinging my fists my whole life. But I know this one thing. “It is not common for a monk who has converted to Buddhism to say that he will kill someone.”

“Monk Beom-o. “That is a misunderstanding.”

Beom-oh’s eyes deepened.

“Don’t you admit it?”

“yes?”

“Are you forgetting that admitting your mistakes and making changes is the shortcut to forgiveness and the best opportunity to find the understanding that has been far away?”

“…!!”

“You seem to be clearly aware of your own mistakes. How can you not admit it and tremble in fear? “Is it so difficult for you to admit that fact?”

“I am…!”

“A lifetime of discipline can be destroyed by one mistake. Also, a broken discipline can be restored with a single realization.”

Beom-oh shook his head.

“Binseung is not in a position to argue with Bota’s participation in the martial arts and the conflict between the tribes. “The bin monk is seeing a person who has collapsed and just hopes that the person will admit his mistakes and return to his duty as a practitioner.”

“….”

“Now take a look at yourself.”

Hwaun gritted his teeth.

She too could sense that Beom-oh’s voice contained a strange power.

Yes. Beom-oh is an enlightened one.

I had no idea how sublime that realization was. The important thing is that it is difficult to gauge the depth of the monk Beom-o with one’s own eyes.

No, it has far exceeded even the level that is difficult to estimate.

For a moment, Hwaun wanted to kneel without realizing it.

I wanted to get down on my knees, put my hands together, and pray for my mistakes. I wanted to pray to myself, not to Beom-oh.

but.

‘…?!’

At that moment, a clear vision appeared in Hwaun’s eyes.

Even though his eyes were full of regret, the eyes of his successor were so clear and deep that they were looking at him.

Grumbling.

The fire of desire began to burn again in Hwaun’s eyes, which were filled with confusion.

‘why me?’

What did you do so wrong?

‘It’s my fault for being angry at the arrogance of those who don’t know the world! However, it is a problem that requires more discipline, not a problem that requires bowing one’s head!’

Furthermore, many evildoers kill the weak and still live comfortably.

Compared to them, I am a nobleman. Rather, I decided to come into the world to punish such evil people, but was this issue really going to cause such a fight?

A sharp voice came out of Hwaun’s mouth.

“What a mistake! As you can see, the arrogant and ignorant person is the author!”

Where she pointed was Yeon Ho-jeong with his arms crossed.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was extremely calm even when she saw Hwa-un pointing at her. There was no agitation in my heart.

On the other hand, Hwaun’s face was completely distorted.

Her distorted face resembled a vicious painting of Mara, a symbol of desire.

“A person who has not studied Buddhism discussed Buddhism and made fun of the poor monk! “They threatened the poor monk because he had a small reputation and position!”

“Woe to each person.”

“I, the elder of Botha, who is trying to save the law of the world, is not a prince from a family that only rules one region…!!”

At that moment, a terrifying flame burst out of Beom-oh’s eyes.

“Go!!”

Oh my gosh!

Beom-oh’s outrageous words were like the sound of a temple bell breaking.

At that moment, Hwaun’s mouth opened wide. The energy of the World-Honored One residing in that powerful lion’s hood shook her eyes, which were covered with a veil of confusion and evil.

“Since when did responsibility become synonymous with power! Since when did title become synonymous with authority! Are you truly a practitioner who has studied Buddhism for decades!?”

“Don’t scream like that! I am…!”

“Look at your heart correctly!!”

Hahaha!

The sound of sowing echoes once again.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A subtle golden glow began to emanate from Beom-oh’s body.

It was extremely bright, but at the same time it was a light that did not put any strain on the viewer’s eyes.

The light of enlightenment, the light of wisdom.

The brilliance of the sword itself, symbolized by Botta’s sword, surrounded Beom-o like a halo.

A look of astonishment appeared on Hwaun’s face.

She had encountered that radiance emanating from Beom-oh’s body once in the past.

‘Great power of Prajna (般若大能力)?!’

This is a great ability that only enlightened practitioners of Shaolin martial arts can develop.

Among them, the Divine Ball of Truth, symbolizing wisdom and law-vision, struck Hwaun’s eyes.

“Ahh!”

Hwaun collapsed on the spot, covering his eyes.

Blood was flowing from her eyes as she collapsed.

It was a very strange experience. Even though the pain felt like my soul was about to run away, I felt very cool, and even though the blood flowing down my eyes was covering my eyes, I could see ahead.

Saaaaaaaaa!

Hwaun felt something leaving his body.

A formless thing that cannot be seen even by those who have trained in the world’s best martial arts, and can only be seen by those who have realized the law.

It was desire and confusion.

Beom-oh looked down at Hwa-un with stern eyes and then spoke in a calm voice.

“Open your eyes. And look at yourself with those open eyes.”

“….”

“Only then will you be able to see the world. “Didn’t Botaam live and see the world like that?”

Rumbling.

Hwaun shed tears in silence. Although they were bloody tears, they seemed like tears washing away sin.

Beom-oh sighed softly and turned his head when he suddenly felt eyes on him.

Yeon Ho-jeong was squinting one eye and giving a thumbs up.

Beom-oh turned his head as if he couldn’t stop him.

Indeed, even with Vanya’s abilities, it seemed that the man’s personality could not be helped.
