Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 366
Truth (6)
“… … .”
Everyone gathered looked at Ichimoku’s face with a speechless expression.
It was because he had a young-looking face that did not match his skills.
But their surprise seemed a little premature.
As soon as Ilmok opened his mouth, an even greater shock came over them.
“I am Ilmok, the youngest disciple of the ascended Heavenly Horse Hyukryeon Ilhwi.”
Everyone was dumbfounded by the shocking identity of the incarnation of Maitreya.
Even in the Central Plains, there was little information about Cheonma’s youngest disciple.
Only the Ark of Openness and Hougae, who were relatively well-informed, had access to the general news.
All they knew was that over ten years ago, Cheonma had taken in his youngest disciple, and that he was rumored to be a genius throughout Xinjiang.
Right then.
“This dirty devil has been deceiving us all this time!!”
Suddenly, the leader of the Cheongseongpa shouted and swung his sword at Ilmok.
His face was contorted with anger.
The founder of Cheongseongpa was originally a disciple of Gongdongpa, and Gongdongpa was destroyed by the devil’s cult long ago.
From the beginning, Cheongseong and Cheonmasingyo were enemies, and when they realized that they had been deceived, their anger was indescribable.
Ilmok lightly turned his body once to avoid the surprise attack of the leader of the Cheongseong faction.
Before anyone knew it, Cheongmok Jinin also drew his sword and joined in to help Jangmunin.
When a fight broke out inside, Jin Ha-yeon and those who were guarding the law broke the windows and doors and barged in.
“Step back.”
Even while dealing with two inspectors at the same time, Ilmok instructed them not to interfere.
The masters of the Jeongpa faction, who had been raising their internal energy and preparing for battle, also stopped moving to observe the situation.
It was also a series of confusing situations, and above all, it was because I could not feel even a hint of murderous intent from the people who were dealing with the Cheongseongpa Taoists.
On the other hand, the leader of the Cheongseongpa faction, who was constantly emitting life-threatening auras, swung his sword, and Ilmok used his ingenuity to deflect the sword.
Then, the stance of the Cheongseongpa leader wavered and he blocked the sword path of the Cheongmok Jinin who was attacking together.
“Ugh.”
While Cheongmok Jinin was hurriedly turning the sword, Ilmok suddenly attacked Cheongmok Jinin’s arms and subdued Mahyeol.
By using Jang Moon-in, who was a few steps behind Cheongmok Jin-in, he was able to easily subdue him.
“Die!!”
Following this, the evil-possessed Jang Moon-in shouted and rushed at Ilmok, but Ilmok was no match for him.
puck.
In just three moves, Ilmok was able to subdue even the blood of the leader of the Cheongseongpa.
While the Jeongpa’s unarmed men made complicated expressions at the absurd skills that did not match his age, the subdued Cheongmok Jinin shouted.
“Hey you!! You lied to us in order to seal the Amipa!!”
The anger of the Cheongmok Jinin, who believed in the Maitreya Buddhism, was considerable.
To his shout, Ichimoku responded with a stern expression.
“When we are the Maitreya religion, we are guilty of sins against the Ami sect, but when we are the Cheonmasing religion, are we not guilty of sins against the Ami sect?”
While Cheongmok Jinin hesitated at that question, this time Jangmunin shouted.
“Do you think we have forgotten what you did in the past? Even if the Amipa is a sinner, do you think we don’t know that you are plotting evil?”
“If the parents are murderers, should their children be killed as well? Is that really what the Cheongseongpa believes?”
For some reason, Ilmok, who had asked that question to the head of the Cheongseongpa faction, turned his head and looked at Hwangbo Yeon.
“Kwon Bong, didn’t you tell me? Just because the elders of the Amipa did something wrong, we shouldn’t kill all the young disciples. But while we show mercy to the children of the Amipa, should we take responsibility for all the mistakes of our ancestors from hundreds of years ago? Is that really the way of the sect?”
“That, that is….”
Hwangbo Yeon couldn’t easily answer Ilmok’s question.
As her thoughts became more complex and tangled and her head became dizzy, the demon came closer to her nose.
“Wake up.”
At that moment, her father, Hwang Bo-ak, placed his strong point on her back and breathed in his inner energy to stabilize her inner energy.
At that moment, Taegeuk Sword Master took a step forward.
He was looking at Ilmok with a complicated expression.
‘Is the monster’s disciple a monster?’
Taegeuk Sword Master Muheoja. He witnessed the previous Cheonmain Hyukryeon Ilhwi right in front of his nose once in his life.
On the very day that his ideology and the true shaman Jeilgeom was about to ascend to Uhwadengseon.
* * *
The spirit of Muheoja, who gained the false name of Taegeuk Geomsen, was a swordsman who had reached a high level, but rather than going out into the world of martial arts, he was only interested in practicing his sword and Tao in the depths of Mt. Mudeung.
One day, when such a person was about to die.
Hyukryeon Ilhwi came to his hermitage.
Taegeuk Sword Master, who was blocking Hyukryun Ilhwi, instinctively realized.
The one standing before him was a giant and a great evil.
The moment Taegeuk Sword Master was ready to face death and exchange swords with the man, a weak voice was heard from behind him.
“Heo (虛) ya. You are my old friend, so please step aside.”
Taegeuk Sword Master was extremely embarrassed. The great sage called the Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demon Sect a close friend.
Taegeuk Sword Master stepped aside with a blank expression.
“I will overlook the rudeness of pointing a sword at me, since you have a connection with evil friends.”
After saying that, Hyukryun Ilhwi passed Taegeuk Geomseon and talked to Mudang Jeilgeom.
The two veterans were only having a small talk, but the atmosphere was such that anyone could tell they were best friends.
After just a few minutes of conversation, Hyukryeon Ilhwi left the hermitage.
“Huh.”
Only then did his ideology call for the Taegeuk Sword Mastery.
“Do not follow empty teachings, and look at the world with your own eyes. Even among those who call themselves the righteous sect, there are evil people mixed in, and even in the so-called devilish sect, there are those who can communicate.”
The first swordsman of the Mudang spoke as if he were teaching a child. To the Muheoja, who was already over sixty years old and was called the Taegeuk Sword Master.
“Cheonma, are you saying that he is someone you can communicate with?”
“Hahaha. You don’t believe it even after seeing it with your own eyes?”
“… … .”
As the speechless Taegeuk Sword Master kept his mouth shut, Mudang Jeilgeom brought up an unexpected story.
“This is what happened to this old man when he was young and foolish, chasing after empty fame instead of the Way.”
The story that Mudang Jeilgeom told was about his first meeting with Hyukryeon Ilhwi.
It was a story about a man who misunderstood the man who was helping the common people, drew his sword and attacked him, and was defeated and beaten badly in return.
“Hahaha. So this old man came to receive teachings about the Way from a disciple of the Demonic Cult. Isn’t that really funny?”
“… … .”
To say no would be to deny the teachings of the Four Elements, and to say yes would be to make fun of the Four Elements, so Taegeuk Sword Master had no answer.
“Hey, do you know why this old man is locked up in a remote hermitage like this, obsessed only with swords and swords?”
“… Isn’t it because you have reached a high level and realized that empty fame is meaningless?”
The first swordsman shook his head.
“It was because I was young and had a naive mind. I swung my sword and ground my teeth because I wanted to get revenge on that devil at least once.”
“… … .”
“But as I practiced with the sword every day and occasionally met him to fight with the sword, at some point I started to enjoy just fighting with him and talking to him.”
“… … .”
“So, I continued to practice swordsmanship. To continue to fight with him. And, to prevent innocent people from shedding blood.”
Muheoja just quietly listened to Sajo’s words. He had never expected that Sajo, who only practiced swordsmanship in a hermitage in a remote corner of Mt. Mudeungsan, would have such a story.
But I didn’t understand the last words, so I asked again.
“What do you mean, ‘no one will shed blood?’”
“Kkeu kkeu. The one who taught me became the Heaven of the Demonic Cult one day. Since he became the Heaven of the Demonic Cult, how could he ignore the wishes of his followers? So shouldn’t I be the justification? A justification that can’t be recklessly sent to the Central Plains. Unlike this old man, that punk seems to have a different mindset, which is a shame.”
“… … .”
While Muheoja remained silent at the unexpected story, Mudangjeilgeom opened his mouth again.
“Huh. Don’t be swayed by false stories, and set your own standards. The branches and leaves of a large tree can easily sway in the slightest wind, but its roots are firm. The shaman’s sword is also sharp. In order to save the soft, you must have firm roots.”
As expected of a shamanist swordsman, the shamanist swordsman gave Taegeuk Swordsman some teachings about swordsmanship as his last will.
* * *
At that time, Taegeukgeomseon, who had just entered the beginning of the Inhaegyeong, had reflected on the teachings of the best swordsman in the world and was now one of the top five masters in the Twelve Heavenly States.
However, Taegeuk Sword Master never imagined that he would encounter the youngest disciple of Hyukryun Ilhwi here.
The reason why Taegeuk Swordsman did not help the Cheongseongpa swordsmen but instead watched them was also because of the last will and testament left by the master.
Instead of acting rashly, to judge with your own eyes.
“It is not right to blame the mistakes of the past on the future generations. We will admit that part. However, isn’t it only natural to be suspicious of someone who has already committed several crimes?”
Ilmok answered the question that Taegeukgeomseon asked for judgment.
“If it’s simply a matter of trust, I’ll accept it. There’s also the history of our ancestors, and it’s true that we deceived you, even if we had no choice.”
The Taegeuk Sword Master and the Jeongpa warriors were extremely bewildered as they accepted the simple yet absurd faction.
But Ichimoku’s words were not over yet.
“But instead of closing your ears and eyes because you don’t believe us, look at us from the beginning.”
As he said that, he pointed to the letters that were left on the table.
“If you want, we can share all the information we have gathered. You can discern the truth from the lies with the openness. I just hope you think about why I took off my mask and revealed my identity in front of you.”
When Ilmok brought up the topic of opening up, King Geul looked at him with a complicated expression and opened his mouth.
“Before I answer your offer, I would like to ask you a few questions.”
“Please ask.”
“What were you thinking, coming out alone and taking off your mask? No matter how great your skills are, you are not capable of withstanding the combined attack of everyone here.”
“Because I learned of the terrible scheme called the Martial Arts Extermination Plan. If I could risk my life to stop it, wouldn’t it be a cheap shot?”
In fact, Ichimoku had one more thing to believe in.
In the scriptures of Maitreya Buddhism, there were countless innocent people.
Those here, unlike other hypocrites, had at least some sense of morality.
So, there was also a cool-headed calculation hidden inside that if the fighting escalated, it would cause harm to the civilians, so they would exercise restraint.
However, I did not mention it because I felt like it would be like using civilians as hostages.
“Then let me ask you one last question. What are your intentions if our opening is rejected? Furthermore, what if everyone here does not believe you?”
“… At that time, I plan to give up everything and return to Xinjiang. As I said before, if we stay here, we will be playing into the imperial family’s plans.”
In response, the head of the Cheongseongpa faction, who had been quiet for a while, shouted.
“You created false believers who say things like ‘Maitreya Buddha’ and then you just want to go back!! Do you really think that makes sense?”
Unlike the attitude of the evil-possessed Cheongseongpa leader, Ilmok calmly looked at the crowd and opened his mouth.
“There is a story like this far out in the West.”
Regardless of whether everyone made bewildered expressions at the sudden remark or not, Ichimoku’s story continued.
“When he was young, a man who worked as a murderer killed many innocent people. He realized his mistake later, and he traveled around the continent, taking in orphaned children. He then took care of them in a remote place in the countryside.”
This was a story that Ilmok had heard somewhere in his previous life. So, he made it up and told it to me, as if it was a story he had heard in the West.
“One day, the people whose parents were killed by that man came to him for revenge. I ask you, is he a bad person? Is he a good person? Furthermore, if he is a bad person, are the children saved by that man also sinners who deserve to die?”
Ichimoku, who had asked a question that seemed like a Zen question, finally took a lottery ticket and turned to the audience.
“I won’t force you. Please think about it carefully and make a decision.”
After saying that, Ilmok passed by the people of the Jeongpa and left the palace.
But even after Ichimoku left, silence fell over the place.
They were all looking for their own answers to the questions raised by Ichimoku.
