Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 331
Shadow (6)
The last monk who had been holding the woman hostage collapsed. There was a hole in his forehead.
“Eek!”
The woman who had been held hostage by him finally let out a scream.
While the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Sect were trying to comfort her, one of the most skilled warriors turned his head and looked somewhere.
The direction the arrow came from.
The drone didn’t miss. At the last moment, the arrow’s path changed.
‘With the spirit of a horse and an arrow…’
This was a huge misunderstanding.
Skills that could be called Igi-eogeom or Igi-eosi were techniques that required a certain level of proficiency even after reaching the Inhae-gyeong.
In that sense, the third step that Ichimoku suggested might have seemed like absurd advice, but Ichimoku had told her.
– Anyway, Kang-gi also follows the same principle.
Even those who have entered the beginning stages of the super climax can form strong energy. Unlike those who have entered the deep stage, it was only at a level where they could barely create it after great concentration.
As you get closer to the Inhae Gyeong, the speed at which the energy is formed increases and its power increases.
Likewise, freely controlling the movement of arrows using qi would be possible only after entering the Inhae-gyeong.
– Even just changing the path a little bit momentarily is enough. After all, the beginning is what matters.
The target point that Ilmok had told Jeong-hyeon was not a complete victory. It was just a momentary change.
Right now, just like she did.

While the servants and the warriors were scattered throughout the west, they were eliminating the remnants of the Potala Palace.
Even the Podalap Palace, which should have become a little deserted after they left, was quite busy.
The reinforcements that arrived from Gansu Province were not limited to just those ten warriors.
There were people going back and forth to the library of the Podalap Palace, scribbling something on paper all day long.
They were the ones in charge of doctrinal education in Gansu Province.
When they first arrived at Podalap Palace, Ilmok welcomed them with a bright smile.
“I have been waiting with bated breath for you to come.”
Following the warm welcome, Ichimoku instructed them on what they should do next.
“First, you should read the scriptures here. Find those that overlap with the doctrines of our new religion and transform them into the doctrines of the ‘Maitreya Buddhism.’”
Ilmok pointed to the huge library of the Potala Palace and said to those who were conducting doctrinal education in Gansu Province:
‘I’ve been running nonstop for twenty days…’
‘Oh, oh, oh. Master of ten thousand horses.’
‘Please take care of our beautiful beings.’
Those who received the instructions felt as if their eyes were going dark.
And now, a few days later.
Having accepted reality, they simply continued to analyze the sutras of the Potala Palace with sunken eyes.
They weren’t the only ones moving busily.
A wide open space in the center of the Potala Palace. There, about fifteen people were gathered together, playing various instruments.
They were missionaries in Gansu Province who used music and theater.
Sometimes they played soft and gentle melodies, sometimes they played hymns, and sometimes they performed opera and other performances.
Some of the women staying at the Podalap Palace would shed tears in their rooms when they played sad melodies, and they would gather there to watch the performances when they played hymns or performed Peking opera.
While they are comforting wounded women through art.
In another part of the Podalap Palace, others were treating wounded women.
“Wounds of the body are not the only wounds. Wounds of the mind are also wounds.”
They were women who worked as doctors in Gansu. In particular, they were mostly women from Pingliang County who had experience treating patients addicted to tiger claws.
Although they were suffering from a pain completely different from drug addiction, at least the doctors from Pyeongnyang County understood that mental illness was also an illness.
“Don’t blame yourself. This didn’t happen because you did something wrong.”
“We too were trafficked into human beings and forced to work as prostitutes in the Central Plains.”
“At the Maitreya Buddhist school, we were saved and taught letters and medical techniques, so we became doctors.”
Those who were in charge of missionary work and those who were medical women were very busy, and thanks to them, we were able to heal the women’s wounds little by little.
It couldn’t have been anything but a truly bizarre sight.
Those who play musical instruments. And most of the female doctors were not originally members of the Cheonmasin Church.
Even though they were currently active in the West Chapter under the name of ‘Mireukmyungyo’, there were people from the headquarters here, and considering that reinforcements from the headquarters would arrive in the future, it was quite a dangerous thing to do.
However, the reason why Ilmok called them as reinforcements was because he had some basis of trust.
The Maitreya Buddhism spread in Gansu Province for several years.
Only those who had a strong faith in the Maitreya religion were secretly informed of the important secret of the Maitreya religion. That was the true name of the Maitreya religion, Cheonmasingyo.
These were people whose faith was not shaken even after hearing the true name of the Maitreya Buddhism.
Time passed quickly while he was absorbed in treating the women and analyzing the sutras of the Potala Palace, and about half a month had passed.
This time, reinforcements from the headquarters arrived.
There were about 20 people, including missionaries and those from Jeongsimwon, in the unmanned area.
Now that the minimum number of people needed had been gathered, Ilmok called the women from the Podalap Palace together.
“I’m sorry for taking so long. Now, I will send you back to your hometown in order.”
Since there was still not enough manpower to send them all at once, it was decided to start by sending back the women whose hometown was near the Potala Palace.
While explaining the order of return, a young woman cautiously raised her hand.
“Um… .”
“Please speak comfortably.”
She had been observing the situation, and after hearing Ichimoku’s words, she gained courage and asked a question.
“Do I have to go back to my hometown?”
“If you don’t want to go back home, what are you going to do?”
“There are a lot of people in my family, so I’m afraid that if I go back, it’ll be hard to make a living… I know it’s shameless, but can’t I stay here?”
At her question, a few women nodded or glanced in agreement.
After thinking for a moment, Ichimoku quickly answered her question.
“If there is anyone who wants to stay here, please feel free to tell me. However, you must visit your hometown. If you don’t contact them at all or only send a letter, won’t your family worry?”
“ah….”
“Go, thank you!”
“Then I will stay here too!”
Some women exclaimed in admiration, and some expressed the same sentiment as her.
In the end, whether or not they were going to stay here, it was decided that all the women would go back to their hometowns.
After that, several unmanned men periodically left the Podalap Palace with the women.
Every time he guided the women to a new village, the warriors felt a mixture of emotions.
One was bitterness.
Because the sight of the women and their parents who had been taken away by the occult monks, embracing each other and shedding tears, filled their vision.
“Mother! Father!”
“Oh my, my daughter!!”
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…”
At times like that, I couldn’t help but think that I wish I had come to see the chief a little earlier.
And paradoxically, a sense of reward also came to them.
“These people saved me.”
“Oh my, thank you. I really appreciate it.”
“I will repay this favor somehow, Grandmaster.”
It was a moment where they could once again realize that the reason they learned magic while enduring terrible side effects was precisely to feel this sense of accomplishment.
Every time, the warriors would try to suppress their emotions and answer with calm expressions.
“Everything is the work of the incarnation of Maitreya.”
“We simply follow His will.”
The warriors who sent the women back to their hometown returned to the Potala Palace, but the female doctors, musicians, and religious educators remained there.
The female doctors would take care of women who had returned to their hometowns or treat villagers.
The musicians also sang hymns mixed in between various melodies.
Those who studied the scriptures of the Potala Palace used to teach people there.
They applied the original doctrine of Podalrap Palace and spread the doctrine of Maitreya Buddhism.
Among the doctrines of the Podalap Palace, those that the Cheonmasingyo did not define as ‘evil’ were willingly accepted.
“Hahaha. If both of us are happy, how could the act of coexistence be considered ugly?”
On the contrary, in the doctrine of the Cheonmasingyo, anything that could be considered ‘evil’ was unleashed by using public enemies.
“It is not a sin to seek pleasure in this life. However, it is a sin to trample on the pleasures of others for your own pleasure. Just like the corrupt monks of the Potala Palace.”
As in Gansu Province, they periodically gave sermons and spread the teachings of Maitreya Buddhism.
Additionally, as was the case in Gansu Province, he taught letters to the villagers.
To gradually erase the dark shadow of Podalrap Palace that lingers in the west.

Beijing. The Forbidden City.
In the heart of that place, which could be called the heart of a country, two eunuchs were having a serious conversation with serious expressions.
“Did you say your tail was stepped on?”
In response to the question of the old eunuch holding the luggage on his back, the eunuch who was kneeling on the floor answered.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Then what happened to the person who stepped on the tail?”
“… I’m sorry to say, but I missed it.”
As soon as the eunuch finished answering, a terrible aura flowed out from the eunuch called Taekonggong.
The eunuch, who realized that things were dangerous if things continued this way, added urgently.
“Ha, Hao, but I was able to figure out who stepped on the tail.”
“I will decide what to do with you depending on how heavy his name is.”
“It was the Dark Shadow of the Demonic Cult.”
At the eunuch’s answer, Taegonggong frowned.
At that minor change, the prostrate eunuch felt a chill run down his spine, but he swallowed a sigh of relief at Taegonggong’s subsequent words.
“If it’s the Shadow Legacy, then it seems like it came up through the Silver Moon Squad.”
“Oh, I also understand that.”
“Tsk. Greed brought trouble. What happened to the Silver Moon Sect?”
“There hasn’t been any significant change yet.”
“Throw it away.”
“… Then, what will you do about the financial plan?”
Eunwol Sangdan. Originally, it was a secret fund created by classmates and eunuchs.
Because if you move using the royal family’s money, there is an inevitable risk that your actions will be revealed.
Although they made excuses for this, in reality, most of the money embezzled through the Eunwol Sangdan was going to high-ranking eunuchs and their classmates.
The connection to the lantern planted in the Demonic Cult was simply an inevitable result of trying to exchange information and items obtained from the Western Regions, including the Black Head Carriage.
Even after the light was removed from the Cheonmasingyo, the reason the Silver Moon Sect was maintained was because of the original purpose of the Silver Moon Sect.
Because I didn’t want to throw away the money that had been filling my back pocket.
“Tsk. You’re asking the obvious. Shouldn’t we prepare a new top?”
“I will follow the will of the Grand Master.”
After the eunuch who had shown his respect left, Taegonggong turned his head and looked at the table.
On the table he was looking at, a huge map was spread out.
“The Demonic Cult noticed.”
It was a map that showed all the great powers in the Central Plains, including the Demonic Cult of Xinjiang.
“I think we need to shake things up a little, even if it means forcing ourselves to do so.”
Taekongkong’s hands hesitated for a moment as he muttered to himself and moved his horse around on the map.
“Hold on. The fact that the shadow pillar has moved means that the old monster has noticed it too, and yet it has remained quiet until now.”
Taekonggong’s expression suddenly became serious as he thought of the old monster called Cheonma.
“Could it be that he is secretly hiding all the way to the Forbidden City?”
Taekonggong, who had the thought that Cheonma might be trying to assassinate the emperor, shouted in a hurry.
“Issue a special alert for your classmates and the royal family! Not a single ant should be allowed to enter the Forbidden City!!”
But why is that?
Even though he was prepared for an attack by the old master who was treated like a god, a confident smile appeared on Taekonggong’s lips.
‘Hehehe. Thank you so much for coming to die on your own feet.’
At least near the castle, it seems like he is confident that he can kill Cheonma.
