Truth (7)
After a while, the light goes away.
“First, let’s each go back and organize our thoughts.”
The King opened his mouth first, pushing away the heavy silence.
“That sounds good.”
When Taegeuk Sword Master agreed with his words, Hwang Bo-ak also nodded.
“Huh! What is there to worry about? They are the devil’s cult! The devil’s cult!”
Only the elder brother of Cheongseong, who had been subdued by the demon spirit, could shout like that with an angry expression on his face.
“How can we force a judgment on Cheongseong? Wouldn’t it be better to go back and cool your head before making a decision?”
After saying that, Taegeuk Sword Master released the blood vessels of Cheongseong Jangmunin and Cheongmok Jinin.
“We will go out first, Taegeukgeomseon senior, Geulwang senior.”
Hwang Bo-ak briefly greeted them and left the palace with his two daughters.
Following this, King Geul and Sohogae also left the pavilion, and the head of the Cheongseongpa clan also left the pavilion after blowing out his breath.
A peaceful scene entered the eyes of the Qingmok Jinin who followed the long man out of the hall.
Living beings with peaceful faces and gentle smiles were walking around the sutras of the Maitreya Buddhism.
‘… Is there also a sin in the children that the sinner repents and takes care of?’
The faces of the common people going to and from the sutra temple are calm, but the faces of the Taoist monks who have been practicing the Tao for decades are filled with concern.

one side.
First, the first thing that came out of the temple was the branch of the Cheonmasin Church.
Immediately after arriving there, Jin Ha-yeon asked Ilmok.
“Master, the last example was a bit dangerous.”
“Are you talking about the story of the man who was a murderer?”
“Yes. Doesn’t it seem like our church has sinned in the past?”
Ilmok nodded at Jin Ha-yeon’s words.
The chain of ill-fated relationships that had continued for tens and hundreds of years was truly complex and subtle.
From the perspective of the Jungwon Jeongpa, they would discuss the resentment towards the ancestors who were killed by the Demonic Cult, but from the Demonic Cult’s perspective, they are the ones who are righteous and it was close to them massacring the ancestors.
“Everything I’ve said applies equally to our church. Try thinking about it from the opposite perspective.”
In his meeting with the political leaders, Ichimoku raised several topics.
Funnily enough, all of those topics were equally applicable even if the positions of the sect and the demonic sect were reversed.
“What about you? Do you intend to treat all those who are part of the political party as enemies because of the actions of your predecessors? Even if they are people who are trying to help sentient beings just like us?”
The Sibies who were together with Ilmok’s question had complicated expressions for a moment. Jin Ha-yeon came forward and answered the question.
“We are simply the servants of Confucius. If Confucius commands us to do so, we will follow. Also, the laws of the new religion are determined by the Heavenly Demon, so if the new Heavenly Demon commands us to do so, we will follow.”
At her answer, Ichimoku thought, ‘That’s truly a Jin Ha-yeon-like answer.’
At that time, a warrior from the Cheonmasingyo came to find Ilmok.
“Your Majesty, the Hwangbo family is looking for you.”
Ilmok tilted his head once and answered.
“Please guide Hwangbo Gaju here.”
Finding yourself means making a decision. It was surprising how quickly that decision came.
After a while, Hwang Bo-ak and two women, guided by an unmanned guide, came to find Ilmok.
Ilmok sent out the sibis and welcomed them without even taking off his mask.
“Have you made a decision?”
Hwang Bo-ak laughed heartily at Ilmok’s question.
“Hahaha. I’m really bad at thinking. To be honest, I couldn’t find an answer to the question you asked.”
“???”
While trying hard to hide his absurd feelings, Hwang Bo-ak added.
“Well, I’ll just keep it simple. We’re neither Taoists nor beggars. We’re just a family that values justice and chivalry. I’ll be honest. From my perspective as the head of the household, the most important thing is the survival of the family.”
“Then, what was it like from the owner’s perspective?”
“It was a simple matter. If you think about the foundation of our Hwangbo family.”
Ilmok noticed what Hwangbo-ak was trying to say.
“Certainly… Shandong and Beijing are too close.”
“That’s right. If it’s as you say, and the royal family plans to wipe out the martial artists, then it’s obvious that our Hwangbo family will be the first to be wiped out.”
In fact, if we consider those close to the imperial family, Habukpengga and Gaebongga were closer than Hwangbo Se-ga.
But Pangga wasn’t here, and the opening was a little different.
The gun of openness is located in Tianjin, just below Beijing, but this is literally just the gun of openness.
In the first place, Gaebong was a group of beggars, so even if one bullet was attacked, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
When Ilmok nodded as if he understood, Hwangbo-ak smiled and added.
“One, it doesn’t mean that I completely trust you. I’m preparing to move my base and am thinking about finding out about my classmates along with the opening. As I said before, the continuation of the family is the top priority for the head of the household.”
“It’s a reasonable enough judgment. But, is it true that you have decided to open up as well?”
“Hahaha. If Gaebong doesn’t believe you, I’ll ask for information even if it means paying you money. If that’s rejected, I’ll have to find out through other sources. This is a matter of family survival.”
After finishing his explanation, Hwang Bo-ak said goodbye.
“Well, I guess I have a lot to do in the future, so I’ll get up now. This might be the last time, so if you have anything to say, please tell me.”
At Hwang Bo-ak’s words, Hwang Bo-yeon made a worried expression. Unlike Hwang Bo-ak, she was still thinking about the topic that Ilmok had raised.
At that moment, Hwangbo Sehee opened her mouth while looking at the view.
“The girl also has something she wants to ask.”
“Please ask.”
At Ilmok’s acceptance, Hwangbo Sehee smiled faintly and asked.
“By any chance, could you tell me your age?”
To the ridiculous question that had nothing to do with the imperial conspiracy or the alliance, Ichimoku tilted his head once and answered.
“I’m twenty-four this year.”
Hwangbo Ak and Hwangbo Yeon, who had been wondering if it was true, looked at Ilmok with astonished expressions.
Although he looked tough, I thought it might be because he had undergone a complete transformation.
On the other hand, only Hwangbo Se-hee was smiling with a satisfied expression.

After Hwangbo Se-ga left, half an hour had passed.
The King of Geul and the Little Tiger came to find Ilmok.
“We decided to open up and find the answer in our own way.”
Ilmok, who had been pondering the king’s words for a moment, asked back.
“Are you saying that you will check to see if the information we provided is true?”
“That’s right.”
It wasn’t an immediate statement that they would maintain the alliance, but it was a more than willing response.
At least when it comes to imperial conspiracies, there has never been any discussion of lies.
If they looked into the information and it was proven to be true, then they could become allies again.
“If you do, we will send someone to share all the information we have obtained while investigating our classmates. Please take a look at it in the open and tell us whether it is true or not.”
“I guess so. Hwangbo Gaju, that friend of yours looks quite impatient anyway.”
It seems that before Hwang Bo-ak left, he went to see King Geul and tried to persuade him a little.
At that moment, Sohogae carefully raised his hand and opened his mouth.
“Ahem. Excuse me, can I ask you something?”
“Please feel free to ask.”
At Ilmok’s answer, Sohogae asked with an uneasy expression.
“Are you really the eighth lord of the Cheonmasingyo?”
“Now that the Master has ascended to heaven, it seems a bit misleading to call him ‘Confucius’.”
It meant that although he was no longer Confucius, he was still a disciple of Cheonma.
In response, Sohogae asked with an even more trembling expression.
“Then, what about the word ‘Cheonma Gyeonja’?”
“… … .”
Ichimoku was momentarily speechless as a forgotten memory came to mind. Geulwang made a startled expression and asked Sohogae.
“You punk! If you remembered that, you should have told me in the hall earlier!”
“No, Master. How could you bring up such a topic in such a serious atmosphere?”
“Since when did a beggar notice!”
“You have to be careful because you’re a beggar! You always said that good deeds are obtained through careful consideration!”
While the two beggars were fighting fiercely, Ichimoku, who had quickly gathered his thoughts, opened his mouth with a rather serious expression.
“First of all, I apologize for lying. And at that time, I answered that way because I had a secret order from the Master.”
“If it’s a secret order, then… Are you saying that the previous Heavenly Demon gave permission to answer like that?”
When King Geul asked with a surprised expression, Ilmok nodded.
“Yes. The Master readily agreed, saying that he did not care if it brought shame to his name, as long as it was for the sake of helping the common people.”
It was a natural sight of lies being told without any change in facial expression.
‘I reported it later and got permission, so it’s not a complete lie, right?’
While Ilmok was quickly rationalizing in his mind, King Geul asked again.
“How did you know that our stupid son of a bitch would ask such a question, and that the Heavenly Demon of the previous generation permitted it?”
“I find that amazing too. It seems like the ascended Master had foresight. Hahaha.”
* * *
There was a minor commotion, but somehow the negotiations for opening up were coming to a conclusion.
The head of Cheongseongpa and the Jinin of Cheongmok came to visit.
“We have absolutely no intention of joining forces with those Madou bastards, so you know!”
Is it because he still hasn’t calmed down, or is it because he ultimately believes that Cheongseong and the Demonic Cult cannot be together?
The head of the Cheongseongpa faction immediately said this and turned around to leave the palace. He looked like a messenger who had come to declare war.
The Cheongmok Jinin, who had been following Jang Moon-in, looked at Ilmok and Geolwang with a complicated expression, then turned around and followed Jang Moon-in.
‘Ugh. Can’t help it.’
Ilmok consoled himself with regret. Still, he considered it fortunate that he could maintain some sort of relationship with Hwangbo and Gaebong.
‘Now all that’s left is the shaman.’
With such thoughts in his mind, Ichimoku began to organize his discussion with King Geul.
He organized the letters and information related to his classmates that he had prepared in advance and handed them over to King Geul, who then took them and left the palace.
And after another hour had passed, the last remaining Taegeuk Sword Master and Unbaek Dojo of the Mudangpa came to visit.
“You left me with such a terrible topic. You are truly a wicked person.”
At Taegeuk Swordsman’s words, Ilmok laughed bitterly.
I thought that perhaps only Taegeuk Sword Mastery had fully pondered this topic and found the answer.
“Senior Taegeuk Sword Master, what do you plan to do?”
“This old man may be a Taoist, but he is still human. How can we easily trust someone who has committed sins in the past? He may be taking care of orphans, but I am sure he has hidden ulterior motives.”
In response to Ilmok’s question, Taegeuk Sword Master began to give his own answer to the topic raised by Ilmok.
“I will doubt and doubt again. But, if nothing comes out of all that doubting… I think I will eventually forgive that man.”
“…Even though I am a sinner who killed my parents?”
“Haven’t you repented of your past sins? Our shamans may not be comparable to Shaolin, but we value non-killing and self-reflection just as much.”
The Taegeuk Sword Master answered like that, recited the Doho once and added.
“Immeasurable life. That’s why I said you were evil. As a shaman, you should forgive that man, but wouldn’t it be like hell to hold onto resentment toward that man?”
“…I’m sorry for making you dizzy.”
Ilmok showed his gratitude by giving a lottery ticket, and sighed in relief inside.
‘Still, there are three left.’
