Chapter 484 - Tiger and dog
The meeting continued for more than an hour (two hours), but no consensus was reached.
Each faction had a different view of ‘Seokgyeongjang’ and ‘Nammaeng’.
While the ‘progressive, divination, and joint factions’ were negative, the ‘volcanic faction, shamanic faction, and Uicheonmun’ were favorable, while the ‘Shaolin Temple, Qingseong faction’ maintained a neutral stance.
As the circumstances were, the meeting ran in parallel from beginning to end.
Tired of the elders arguing, the leader of the martial arts merchant winked at the musketeer.
Musketeers Gongson Ilrang and Gongson Ki lightly tapped on the table.
Only then did the elders, who had been arguing, shut their mouths and pay attention to the musketeer.
“I listened to both sides. I think it would be okay to watch the progress of the ‘Southern Alliance’ a little longer, but what does Lord Maeng think?”
Gongsun-gi passed on the burden to the lord.
Since the opinions of the Chilpamun were sharply divided, he had no choice but to be cautious.
“Bindo believes that the ‘Nammaeng’ is also a member of the Hocheonmaeng family. Wouldn't it be unaware if the 'Southern Alliance' invaded the territory of the Hocheon League? If we regulate the ‘Southern League’ by mere speculation, the people of the world will laugh at us.”
Jeonjin, fortune teller, and communal group elders frowned.
They thought that the lord did not accept their opinion.
But Gongson-gi had a different idea.
'It sounds like they will regulate if they invade the territory of the Hocheon League.'
To invade a territory is to use it.
Right now, there may be a dispute between the breakwaters under the 'Hocheonmaeng' and the breakwaters of the 'Nammaeng' in Namjikryeseong.
Even increasing the reputation of the 'Nammaeng' in Namjikryeseong belongs to territory invasion. This is because all places where there is a Jeong-do school are in the ‘territory of Hocheonmaeng’.
So, according to the leader's words, the 'Hocheon League' can regulate the 'Southern Alliance' at any time.
If the lord puts his mind to it... … .
No one objected to the leader's remarks.
There was no other way to deal with it, so I just put it off until tomorrow.
It's like being silent about the 'Blood Death of the Eight Emperors'.
Considering the reality of Hocheonblind, whose functions almost stopped, it was inevitable.
The meeting, as usual, ended without a reply.
The elders, who had been arguing with blood vessels in their necks, left the meeting room.
The martial arts merchant and Gongsun Qi crossed the yard side by side.
The Mugeuk Merchant, who was walking silently, asked.
“Why are Mumu Jinin, Docheon Jinin, and Wolmyeong Merchant so obsessed with ‘Seokgyeongjang’ and ‘Southern Alliance’?”
“Didn’t you run a patrol during the Cheonjimaeng era?”
“Does it have anything to do with it?”
“When Yeonjeokha was in Green Forest, he often collided with the faction patrol, but I think it was because of the bad relationship at that time.”
"her! something like that.”
At the unexpected answer, the merchant shook his head.
In front of the fork in the road, Gongsun-gi slipped his luck.
"That's what the lord said in the meeting room."
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you say that if the ‘Southern League’ invaded the territory of the ‘Hocheon League’, it would impose restrictions?”
“Oh, I did say something like that.”
"I want to know the Lord's sincerity."
“Hmm! Seriously.”
The Mugeuk Merchant didn't answer easily and cast his eyes toward the distant sky.
He became the leader of the ‘Cheonji Maeng’ followed by the ‘Hocheon Maeng’.
The leader is the supreme leader of the political faction.
He has been like that for several years, and he is now comfortable in the leadership position where he seemed to be wearing other people's clothes.
Rather, I had to force myself to squeeze the image of my days as a monk to the extent that I could barely recall it.
Interest also shifted from ‘seeking the way’ to ‘restoration of political faction’.
It seems to have changed from “only I need to attain the enlightenment” to “a life for everyone.”
Now, if it is for the sake of the great cause, I can accept a little sacrifice.
It was something I could never have imagined when I was a monk.
“I could even go to hell for the sake of ‘reviving the sect.’”
Gong Son-gi was taken aback by his remarks that exceeded expectations.
can you go to hell
“How far is the political faction?”
Looking at the big picture, I couldn't help but confirm that the 'Southern Alliance' was also a political faction.
The Mugeuk Merchant asked back.
“Isn’t history proving that the Chilpa sect is the root of a political faction?”
It was only then that Gongsun-gi was able to determine the category of political faction that Wu Geuk Merchant said.
He has now declared that he will do anything for the revival of the Chilpamun.
***
August.
Shanxi.
around noon.
More than 50 human horses appeared on the banks of the Hansu River.
Twenty wore black and thirty wore blood, but no one opened their mouths.
Wearing a black robe, Mugwanggokseongmun Munju, the spirit demon, Yojingal, beckoned to Noh Do-gyeong, the spirit demon sword of the Eastern Lion.
When Yojingal, a heavenly man, called, Lord Nodo hurriedly rode his horse and came running.
“Did you call?”
"I can't see the blood dragon lord."
The religious leader dispatched a group of people to take control of Myeongwanggyo.
One gate (一門) is enough, but the reason why one gate (一隊) is added is to save face for Yojingal.
It was the will of the headmaster that 'you cannot send the head of the six gates of the Demonic Cult alone'.
In other words, he attached the Blood Dragons as Yojingal's limbs.
“I went ahead to find a suitable spot for crossing the river.”
“Did you say you have to do this to infinity?”
“Yes, you only need to suffer for about a month and a half. You can go from Wuhan to Mount Lu by sea.”
“Yeosan. It's already boring.”
“Still, the scenery is beautiful and the temperature is moderate, so it will be better than Cheonsan Mountain.”
"The only place better than Cheonsan is the underworld.”
“It doesn’t.”
Noh Do-gyeong laughed and matched the rhythm with Yojingal’s words.
Even though it is hot, it is quite annoying to see the master of the six gates going a long way.
While he was dealing with Yojingal's horse, the blood dragon lord returned.
“Lord Moon, if you go downstream (about 20 minutes), you will find the ferry. It looks like we will have to cross the river there.”
At the words of Ubuldo, the blood dragon lord and the life spirit, Yojingal let out a sigh.
"ha! Do you have to go one day or more? Damn, I got a blister on my ass.”
“Eastern lion, Moon Lord is uncomfortable. How about resting after crossing the river?”
The leader of the group is Yojingal, but the guide is Noh Do-gyeong, so Ubuldo asked for Noh Do-gyeong's opinion.
Nodo-kyung happily nodded his head.
“Let's do that. It's lunchtime anyway, and the sun is hot, so it might be a good idea to take a break. Moonlord, would it be all right if I did that?”
“Don’t ask me in detail about things like that, just do it on your own. The head is meant to be used.”
A bitter smile crept across Noh Do-kyung's lips.
I thought about it and asked, and it was a bruise.
“Then, Sokha will open the way first.”
Noh Do-gyeong ran ahead, fearing that Yojin-gal might say something else.
Unexpectedly left behind, Ubuldo sighed inwardly.
He felt resentful of Do-kyung Noh for leaving his luggage and running away, but he had to accept it.
This is because, in terms of rank, the seven great lords are below the four lions.
Noh Do-gyeong, freed from Yojingal's demonic beast, ran to the Hansu River with a refreshed heart.
***
starlight.
Yeosan.
Gwangmyeong Village.
As summer approached, Myeongwanggyo was almost like a mourning house.
This is because it is known that Gongchwisan Jeokwol, who went missing last winter, ended his life at Mount Pungji.
Gwangmyeongjeong.
Kang Sang-pi, a ghost of spirit blood, looked at Honsei Sword Demon Cheok Jin-gyeong with a tired face.
“What did you ask us to gather for today?”
“You two must know that I planted ganja on Mt. Pungji.”
Kang Sang-pi and Akbul Bang Tian-gak nodded her head.
Even though Baekduma Army broke away from Yumyeonggyo, their personal connections remained.
“I just got a letter from you. It is said that Yeonjeokha climbed Mount Pungji with Jeokwol.”
“… … .”
Kang Sang-pi and Bang Cheon-gak were speechless for a while at the unexpected sound.
Bangcheongak, who had been absent-mindedly, murmured.
“Then ‘Yeonnamcheon’ was ‘Yeonjeokha’?”
After Gongchwisan's disappearance, Myeongwanggyo refrained from going outside as much as possible.
As a result, it is inevitable to be dark at the news of Kang-ho.
The political faction called Yeon Jeok-ha 'Namcheon', but even he did not know that.
Chuck Jin-kyung continued her words with a confused face.
“Nobu also recently found out that Yeonjeokha’s nickname was ‘Namcheon’. It seems that he used my nickname as a name in Mt. Hwangbang.”
Kang Sang-pi asked with an absurd face.
“Why did Yeon Jeok-ha do such a thing? He is the enemy of the famous religion and the mortal enemy.”
“Even the person who delivered the news did not know the details. He only said that he saw the year-long sky and the moon come together.”
Kang Sang-pi did not accept it easily.
“It is truly unbelievable. Even if the cult leader and Yeonjeokha joined hands, would that young bastard have the ability to capture Baekdu Demon Army?”
“… … .”
To Kang Sang-pi's point, Cheok Jin-gyeong did not reply.
He honestly wasn't sure about that part.
Kidnapping him from the Twelve Horsemen who follow Mt. Gongchwi in Red Moon like a shadow?
Wouldn't it be known if the headmaster went out directly?
Even if the top 10 masters of the world were to come out, it would be impossible.
At that moment, a shotgun ceremony flowed from Bangcheongak's mouth.
"ha! I can't believe that Yeon Jeok-ha did it alone. Maybe there was an assistant.”
Kang Sang-pi and Cheok Jin-gyeong shook their heads at the word “assistant.”
Certainly, if Yeon Jeok-ha had an assistant, it would not have been impossible to kidnap Jeok-wol.
“Whoever the helper is, the person who finally handed over the red moon to the religious leader will be the nephew.”
“… … .”
A heavy silence enveloped the lighthouse.
He knew that the head of the church would not stand still, but he was gloomy when it happened right in front of him.
After a while, Chuck Jin-kyung said.
“The leader is not someone who will be satisfied with just one red moon. If we continue like this, we will not be able to escape from the red moon.”
Kang Sang-pi added a word.
“I can't just leave it alone. Since he touched our Myeongwanggyo, let's take revenge.”
However, no one agreed with his words of revenge.
Kang Sang-pi could not hide his embarrassment at the unexpected reaction.
“No, then jeokha hit us in the back first, so why don’t you guys say anything?”
Then Bang Chun-gak replied.
“It’s just a side branch of dating. More important than that is the outside of the school. Shouldn’t he stop Pal Hwangsinmo, who is taking Baekdu Demon Army out like dried persimmons?”
“You are right. You have to play with a dog in front of a tiger to use it.”
Chuck Jin-gyeong compared Yeonjeokha to a dog.
When the two objected, Kang Sang-pi stopped insisting.
After thinking about it, it's not that it wasn't, but their protection took precedence over revenge.
“Since you two say that, I will follow you. Do you have any good ways to stop the cult leader?”
Bang Chun-gak carefully took his luck.
“Since Jeokwol was captured alive, the secret of ‘Eumyanggo’ must have been known. If it was the leader's ability, he could have eliminated Yanggo. If so, we cannot stop the leader with our own strength. There are no forces close by to help us... … . Speaking of which, what about the Demonic Cult?”
In an instant, Chul Jin-kyung screamed as if in a seizure.
"what? You want to go to Cheonsan right now? Let's go with the slaughter-mad? That's all except for jumping into the tiger's den to avoid the wolf.”
“But if you stay like this, you never know when you will be taken to Mt. Pungji, right?”
Still, Chuck Jin-gyeong stubbornly refused.
“That is not to be said. Didn't you feel it the last time you met the eastern lion? They are psychopaths who want the end of the world. Do you think the Demonic Cult leader will welcome us? If it's more than Eighthwangsinmo, it's more, I won't be less.”
“Until now, not a few Sapa masters have entered Cheonsan. Isn't there a law telling us not to do that?”
“Have you forgotten already? Unlike them, we are all outside of the 'King of Flames'. Do you think that the self-proclaimed god of the Demonic Cult will accept us as pagans?”
Bang Cheon-gak could not answer and just chewed his lips.
It is truly a quandary.
I thought everything would be fine if I left the famous school, but I don't know why it's like this.
