Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 319

Color (3)

Namka, the esoteric monk who had been conversing with Ichimoku, realized belatedly that something was wrong.

It was not that he realized that the teachings of Podalapgung were wrong, because he was still absorbed in those doctrines.

It was right after the child he was supposed to pick up today suddenly fell asleep that he realized something.

dump.

Until the child fell asleep, he felt no movement.

He turned his head at the sudden noise and saw the child lying on the floor with his eyes closed.

When he turned his head again and looked ahead, he saw a man wearing a familiar mask. It was the mask of Acala, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism.

In the right hand of the man wearing the mask of the King of the Underworld, a sword was drawn.

‘when…?’

That question could not dare to come out of my mouth.

I had a question in my mind, but I couldn’t move my body.

While looking at the sword in his hand with a puzzled look.

Namka felt a second doubt.

The world was spinning. His vision became dizzyingly tangled, and soon he saw the figures of the esoteric monks watching him from behind.

It was a strange thing.

How can I see them when I have never turned my head back?

And that question could be easily solved.

The answer was in the eyes of the startled monks.

Because their eyes were seeing his body, with blood gushing out from his neck, and his own face falling to the floor.

The moment I realized that fact.

A terrible pain I had never felt before surged through my severed neck.

“Grrrrrrr… .”

Namka, who was groaning strangely with blood boiling down his already severed neck, lost his life while looking at his own severed neck.

At the sudden death of Namka, who was the leader, several of the secret monks drew their weapons and rushed towards Ichimoku.

“Hey you!!”

“It’s a basket from the Central Plains!”

They each swung a vajra, a staff, or something like that, made of iron, but none of their weapons ever touched Ilmok.

Crunch!

With a belated cutting sound, the necks and limbs of those who rushed at Ilmok were cut off in vain.

To the two esoteric monks standing behind him, whose reaction was slow, the sight seemed as if it were hanging from an invisible thread in the air.

“Gulp.”

One of them, realizing that things were going terribly wrong, turned around and ran away without a second thought.

And another one, instead, leapt forward.

I had no intention of rushing at that monster wearing the mask of the King of Hell.

I have already confirmed with my own eyes that it is an act of suicide.

What he was after was the girl lying on the floor.

It wasn’t that he was trying to kill the girl. He remembered that the reason that master interfered in their event was because of that girl.

‘If only I could take that child hostage!’

It was a momentary display of wit by the esoteric monk who realized that turning one’s back and running away against such a master was likewise an act of suicide. Wit filled with malice.

And just before the esoteric monk’s hand touched the girl who had fallen to the floor.

The man wearing the mask of Acala, who had slaughtered the esoteric monks, rolled his right foot on the floor.

thud!!

A loud noise erupted from the floor along with the movement that seemed to be stepping on a stepping stone.

“Ugh… .”

At the same time, the body of the esoteric monk fell to the floor as if crushed by something.

In the meantime, the esoteric monk tried desperately to catch the girl.

thud!

As the man in the mask of the Buddha took another step closer, his body dug deeper into the ground.

The way he struggled to hold on to the girl even while she was lying on the floor looked like a squirming insect.

at that time.

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

Almost simultaneously with the noise that seemed to tear the air apart, someone’s groan erupted.

“Kuaaaah!!”

The arrow shot by the woman carrying the huge bow behind her pierced the right leg of the fleeing esoteric monk.

* * *

Immediately after subduing the guy who was running away and the guy who was trying to take the girl hostage, Ilmok turned his head and spoke to Jeong-hyeon.

“Well done.”

I needed to keep two of them alive for interrogation. After the interrogation was over, I had no intention of keeping them alive.

“First, subdue those two bloodthirsty men. I need to investigate the Podalap Palace.”

“I will follow your orders.”

While the women hurriedly approached the two esoteric monks at Ichimoku’s direction, Ichimoku turned his head and looked around.

“Please, save me.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

For some reason, the mother and father who were trying to send their child away were kneeling on the floor, begging for their lives.

It wasn’t just those two.

Perhaps it was because of the screams and shouts of the secret Buddhist monks of Podalap Palace. Before long, the residents of Andahyeon had gathered nearby and were kneeling before them.

“Please, please save us.”

Without taking off his mask, Ichimoku looked around with a cold expression and first approached the girl’s parents.

“The child might be surprised, so go in and take care of the child first.”

These were parents who were trying to sell their child to those trashy guys who prey on girls.

Although he wanted to kill them all, Ichimoku tried hard to suppress his anger.

One way or another, the child needed parents.

‘As expected, this is a fucking world.’

Because it was a trashy world where the powerful robbed the weak.

At Ichimoku’s direction, the parents bowed and picked up the girl who had fallen on the floor and headed somewhere.

Ilmok, who had been observing the back of the figure for a moment, spoke to the residents kneeling on the floor.

“The most experienced person in Andahyeon, please come forward.”

The residents looked at each other for a moment. As a fierce aura began to emanate from Ichimoku’s body, an old woman with white hair stood up and stepped forward.

“I, I am the oldest.”

Ilmok asked the old woman who had stepped forward.

“Explain to me why they offered the girl to the Podalap Palace.”

The old woman answered cautiously.

“Po, it was the order of the Podalap Palace. Lord, if we do not offer up girls periodically, the entire village will be in danger.”

Ichimoku, clenching his fists due to his rising anger, asked again.

“So, are you saying that you have been offering a girl every year like this?”

“In the past, women often went to the Podalap Palace, but they never forcibly took girls away like they do now.”

“Was it different in the past than it is now?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

When Ilmok glared at the old woman with his mouth shut as if to tell her to say more, the old woman lowered her head and said.

“And, the Podalap Palace of the past was, uh, different from now. They, uh, didn’t take girls by force, nor did they threaten us like this. Instead, they, uh, gave us various teachings.”

The old woman continued speaking with a regretful expression, as if she was recalling her youth.

“They did not force us to do asceticism. They taught us the various pleasures that we can experience in life. Sex was also a part of it, and they did not taboo the pleasures of love between a man and a woman. They also constantly preached the greatness of women who gave birth and raised children.”

At the old woman’s explanation, Ichimoku frowned and asked.

“You know that Podalrap Palace is learning the art of relieving pain and nourishing the body. Are you trying to protect them?”

At Ilmok’s instruction, the old woman knelt on the floor and shouted.

“Woman, that is an absurd statement. It is true that they learned the art of prostitution, but the Potala Palace of the past was not a place to take women by force. Intercourse with a woman took place only when the woman voluntarily wanted it. I, I am the living proof of that.”

When Il-mok looked at the old woman, wondering what she was talking about, the old woman swallowed once and said.

“I, too, worked in the Podalap Palace when I was young. However, this was not considered a vice here. Back in the East, they might have called us promiscuous, but we lived happily.”

Thanks to the old woman’s explanation, Ichimoku was able to get a general idea of ​​the atmosphere of this place.

‘… So, because of the doctrine of the Podalap Palace, it was an open area for the castle?’

But, questions still remained.

“Then, since when did the movements of the Podalrap Palace change?”

“It started about five years ago. They suddenly started forcibly taking girls to the Podalap Palace.”

“Why did their actions suddenly change five years ago?”

“That, that, we didn’t know either.”

Ichimoku nodded at the old woman’s answer and turned his head to look back.

There, there were two surviving esoteric monks who had been subdued by the women.

“Maybe those two know the answer.”

* * *

Immediately after the residents of Andahyeon were sent back, the two esoteric monks were questioned.

The horrific torture of having one’s entire body torn and pulled out little by little continued, but those perpetrating the torture did not even blink an eye.

It wasn’t because they were cultists. It was because they knew what those occult monks were trying to do.

“Kuaaaah!!”

“Please, save me….”

After carrying out such brutal torture and taking away their will to resist, Ilmok asked them.

“Who gave the order to bring the girls by force?”

“Left, left and right are the great virtues.”

“Left and right? You followed the orders of those called Dae-deok, not the Dalai Lama?”

As far as I know, the title for the highest leader of the Potala Palace is Dalai Lama.

“Yes, His Holiness the Dalai Lama entered the wall about five years ago to attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi.”

“So, those guys called Left and Right Daedeok are replacing the Dalai Lama?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“This is ridiculous. Are you asking me to believe that such a heinous act was committed under the orders of a proxy?”

“The left and right great virtuous ones said, ‘This, this too is the order of the Dalai Lama.’”

As the two esoteric monks answered in turn, a certain possibility flashed through Ichimoku’s mind.

“Who has seen the Dalai Lama who is said to have entered that perfect wall?”

“Only the great monks who survived, including the Left and Right Daedeok, are there.”

“…The surviving monks?”

“When the Left and Right Great Virtues delivered the Dalai Lama’s order, all those who rebelled were suppressed by the Left and Right Great Virtues.”

The smell of conspiracy was in the air.

No, the smell was so blatant that it would have felt stupid not to know.

“Tell me more about those guys called Joo-Dae-Deok.”

At Ichimoku’s command, the two esoteric monks fought hard to survive.

The two, known as Left and Right Deok, were twins and it is said that they showed special talent for martial arts from a young age.

Even in terms of talent for martial arts, the two were superior to the current Dalai Lama, who is said to be a perfect master.

However, the previous Dalai Lama gave the position to the current Dalai Lama in his place.

It was because of the twins’ temperament.

Because he was more interested in martial arts than in the teachings of Buddhism, and because he was dissatisfied with the way Podalap Palace always prioritized teachings over teachings, even though there were ways to become stronger faster.

“Why didn’t the previous Dalai Lama expel those people?”

“Lord, in order to subdue and make the evildoers who torment the living beings repent, we need force.”

“Also, the previous Dalai Lama said that if they follow the Buddha’s teachings, those two people too will be able to change.”

Ichimoku nodded as if he understood.

Because that was the teaching of Buddhism. Since they considered compassion and reflection as virtues, they used to advocate non-killing.

Their teaching was to keep even the wicked alive so that they can reflect and repent.

The previous Dalai Lama was simply absorbed in the teachings of Buddhism, and as a result, this disaster unfolded.
