Episode 906Breath of the Demon (1)
âHmm.â
The public ambassadorâs eyes deepened. His eyes were mysterious, as if he was lost in thought or had decided on something.
Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.
âShall we send additional troops?â
The public ambassador shook his head.
âIâm not sure.â
âAccording to intelligence, the enemy forces are not very large. But as much as I donât know what kind of expert is hiding insideâ¦.â
âNo, thatâs not what Iâm saying.â
âyes?â
The public ambassador tilted his head.
âChief Murimâs local provocation itself is not a big deal. The reason is because this situation was already foreseen by me, Zhuge Commander, and Duke Feng.â
âThatâs right. âI have already guessed that there is a high possibility that the three religions have taken control of the Seojang martial forest and are manipulating them like their own hands and tribes.â
âThe question is, why now?â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes lit up.
The public ambassador nodded.
âIt must be because of Confucius Cheon Hyorak of Shinmarim.â
âof course.â
âProbably the real troops were headed toward Yeonsobuju.â
âI think so too.â
âWhat is the reason for sending secondary troops separately?â
âBecause I donât think itâs a simple gender equality book. Chief Murim is also one of the powers that have had their eyes on the Central Plains in the past. This was especially true of Soreoeumsa Temple.â
âIt was like that.â
âIn fact, it is difficult to even describe this as a gender equality book. There is no need to turn your attention in this direction because there is not enough time to send troops to Sobujuâs group, who have already traveled a long way. However, Soroeumsaâs role would be to draw a line so that Sobujuâs party would not dare to go to help them until they reach Sinmarim.â
The ambassadorâs eyes sparkled.
âWhat the military is saying is that there is a high possibility that they also sent experts of their own stature to taste the power of the central plains?â
âThat may be true, but there may be a bigger problem than that.â
âA bigger problem?â
âItâs missionary work.â
The ambassadorâs face hardened.
âUnlike Daeroeumsa, Solaeyumsa chose the path of pursuing only power. âIt is famous for its strange doctrine that interprets the Buddhist law in a strange way and exposes desires as they are.â
ââ¦.â
âSoreoeumsa is a place in Seojang where likes and dislikes are extremely divided. âRegardless of their military power, their doctrine itself is not easy to understand through common sense.â
âyes.â
âBut I heard that once those who enter Soreouin Temple can never get out.â
âHmm.â
âIt is not to prevent them from escaping, but because those who are absorbed in doctrine are viewing the world incorrectly. âTheir doctrines are so strange and dangerous.â
âIn other words, there is a possibility that they will spread their doctrine to the Central Plains?â
âI think thereâs a pretty high probability that it could happen. Maybeâ¦â
Zhuge Wenhoâs eyes narrowed.
âYou can also think that this is to lay a paving stone in advance for the area they will occupy after taking over the central plain.â
Quack!
Ambassador Gongâs hand broke the handle of the Emperorâs throne.
Although he was merciful and wise, he couldnât help but become sensitive to Soroeuumsaâs behavior.
In the past, Shaolin often interacted with Daeroeumsa. Although it was not formal, mendicants who went to a mountain temple to explore the world shared teachings with each other as they traveled back and forth between the central and western regions.
But Soreoeumsa was different.
They defined Shaolin and Daerei dervishes as heretics and incited public sentiment to arrest and kill them. It was not known to the world, but the number of such cases was close to double digits.
With such a dark history, even the worldâs public ambassadors have no choice but to be sensitive.
âThe false teaching is the devil itself. When the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the Mara of the world of desires tested him with all sorts of temptations out of fear that his well-being would be shaken, but he did not waver.â
ââ¦.â
âEveryone in this world can become a Buddha. However, humans are imperfect beings, and those who are caught up in reality and do not pay attention to the truth can easily be deceived by the teachings of xie jiao.â
âYes, thatâs right.â
Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly looking up at the ceiling, said.
âCall us.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes wavered.
But even for a moment.
âAll right.â
After a while.
Mo Yong-woo heard about Maengjujeon.
âSee you, Lord.â
The public ambassador smiled.
âI havenât officially declared you as the leaderâs disciple yet, but since our path is the same, Binseung already considers you to be one of my successors.â
It was an old-fashioned and benevolent tone of voice.
Mo Yong-woo bowed his head without saying a word.
âIt seems like Yeonhojeong Sobuju wants to make you the next leader.â
ââ¦.â
âYes, if someone with such discerning eyes saw you as a talented person worthy of becoming the leader of the Baekdo Martial Arts, there must be a good reason for it.â
Mo Yong-woo was neither embarrassed nor ashamed.
Ambassador Gong continued.
âSenior Jong-ri-baek, who has become a free minister, put his position on the line and asked me a favor. âHe was requesting that his student Oh Gu-moon be included as one of the successor candidates.â
âyes. I heard.â
âHowever, Supreme Master Zhongli did not want his disciple to become the next Murim lord. No, it actually seemed like he hated it. Nevertheless, he wanted to appoint his disciple as a leader candidate. âWhat do you think is the reason?â
Mo Yong-woo said calmly.
âIsnât this meant to help people learn about the world under heaven?â
The ambassador smiled in satisfaction.
âright. I saw it right. âThat is why Supreme Master Zhongli entrusted his disciple to me.â
ââ¦.â
âNo matter how wide the Murim Alliance is, how can we learn about the world within it? âIsnât the Murim Alliance a federation that exists as part of the world rather than a place that contains the world?â
âyes.â
âOgumun was also well aware of his teacherâs intentions. âFrom the beginning, I thought that Gu Munâs personality was free-spirited and without hesitation, so he was not a suitable person for a position where he had to take responsibility.â
Why does he say things like this?
Ambassador Gong continued.
âItâs not just syntax.â
ââ¦?â
âThe Grand Duke of Nangong and the Grand Duke of the Peng family are also human, so they each have their own flaws. âJust like you and me.â
ââ¦!â
âThe same goes for the Zhuge familyâs Xiao family. The military taught us well, but we are young and inexperienced, and even if we pretend not to be, we get excited easily. âHe is a good young man, but he lacks many things.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes widened.
âWhat do you meanâ¦?â
âYes. âI plan to make you, Gugun Namgung, the Grand Duke of the Peng family, as well as the militaryâs eldest son as succession candidates.â
ââ¦!!â
Could this be too much?
A thought like that suddenly occurred to Mo Yong-woo, but he quickly lowered his head. Ambassador Gong Gong and Zhuge Wenhu are rare figures. Everyone will have their own thoughts.
âI would like to add one more person as a successor candidate.â
âWho is it?â
âDang Sang-ah, the daughter of the Dang family.â
ââ¦!â
âI received a separate message from the head of the party. âHe said so.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes wavered for the first time.
The public ambassador shook his head.
âThe one who is qualified among these will become the next leader. However, I and all of us do not see martial arts alone as a requirement for the next leader.â
ââ¦.â
âItâs heaven.â
âUnder the worldâ¦.â
âThose who know the world, those who see the world, those who listen to the world.â
ââ¦.â
âAs we are all members of the faction, there is no need to worry about nothing. They are geniuses who are ready to become stronger at any time. However, even for a rare genius, knowing the world is a different matter.â
Mo Yong-woo asked.
âWhat is Heaven?â
âThe question of what heaven is is meaningless. The reason is because everyoneâs view of the world is different.â
ââ¦.â
âThe next leader must be better than the first leader in every way. But martial arts does not belong to all of those aspects. We are living in difficult times. There are people who must fight the world with strong martial arts skills, and there are others who must lead the world. I think so.â
ââ¦yes.â
Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-woo, spoke again.
âI know itâs confusing.â
ââ¦.â
âYeon Sobu-juâs words: I know that in a way, he became the leading candidate by force. âYou must feel burdened by the position you are in now.â
âThatâs right.â
Mo Yong-woo never told a lie.
The public ambassador smiled. It was really nice to hear Mo Yong-wooâs voice honestly expressing his confusion. seaÊá´h thÑ NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âBut you didnât refuse.â
âThat is also true.â
âDo you have greed?â
âdoesnât exist.â
âYou have no desire, so why didnât you refuse this position?â
Mo Yong-woo closed his eyes.
Although he was confused, he was able to come to grips with his own thoughts little by little.
âI have no greed, but I ran to see a higher place. However, I soon started to bump into other members of the unit and thought that life with them was also good.â
âBut?â
âOne day, I suddenly realized something.â
Mo Yong-woo opened his eyes again.
âI donât know all my talents. I donât know how far I can go. And I wasnât sure how I would survive.â
ââ¦.â
âNot anymore.â
ââ¦.â
âAll of the soldiers of the Uijeong County are the ones who became a light to me. Your relationship with them will continue until the moment you die. âI still want to remain a military commander, but I also want to learn about the world in another place.â
âIs that so?â
âEven if I leave my post to learn about the world, the soldiers will not blame me. The reason is that even if the soldiers decide to quit the Loyalist Army, I will not blame them either.â
The public ambassador burst into laughter.
Mo Yong-woo did not laugh. His face was as calm as it was full of deep seriousness.
âUijeong-gun is one of the places I will return to. âNow that Iâm out of my hometown, I have to see more of the world.â
âIs that so?â
âThis is heavenly luck. Yeonje is a younger brother who is so worthy of me. âBut if Yeonje, who has such great insight, saw something in me, and if that was a path I had not taken before.â
ââ¦.â
âEven though I may fail and be frustrated, I have no intention of turning a blind eye to the path that unfolds before me.â
The public ambassador burst into laughter.
âYou have already taken one step towards the world.â
âBut I donât know what that world is.â
âItâs a place I hang out in without even knowing it, but the more I try to find out about it, the farther away it goes. âThat is the world.â
Ambassador Gong Gong handed Mo Yong-woo a piece of paper lying aside.
âChief Wulinâs troops were torn apart in Gansu. Some of them are moving through northern Shaanxi and toward Shanxi.â
ââ¦!â
âThere will be powerful experts. âNo one has ever entered a state of non-existence, but maybe it exists.â
ââ¦.â
âCan you take out all the candidates and defeat them?â
Mo Yong-woo bowed his head.
âI will try.â
âThey will disturb the public sentiment with false doctrines and will resort to vicious measures to expand their religious affiliation.â
Mo Yong-woo immediately understood what the ambassador said.
âFighting is important, but the most important thing is controlling the public sentiment.â
ââ¦haha.â
Admiration appeared on the public ambassadorâs face.
âYou already know whatâs important.â
âItâs just experience.â
âgood night. We will also contact other candidates separately. âBe fully prepared to leave at dawn tomorrow.â
âI follow your orders.â
Mo Yong-woo stood up with his head down and left Maengjujeon.
A warm spring breeze passed by the tip of my nose. The refreshing scent of grass and the calming scent of flowers calmed my mind.
Mo Yong-wooâs face looked confused as he looked at the sky.
âBe humbleâ¦.â
