Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 372
Who is evil (2)
A middle-aged man named Won-gyu was a native of Golang County, Gansu Province, who had lived there his entire life.
When he was forced into debt by the black bastards known as Jeoksabang and was in danger of having his daughter sold to pay off the debt, the ones who saved him were none other than the Maitreya Church.
Won-gyu, who had since become a devout follower of the Mireukmyungyo, was currently being cared for by his daughter, who had been almost sold away with a broken arm.
“They seem like bad Taoist priests….”
Won-gyu made a stern expression as he listened to his daughter’s monologue while taking care of her father with tears welling up in her eyes.
“Oh, you never know where they might be listening, so be careful.”
At her father’s words, she turned her head and looked out the window with a sad expression.
Several Taoist priests wearing plum-patterned robes were periodically walking up and down the streets of Goranghyeon.
Most of the Hwasanpa Taoists who had finished plundering and torturing went to other counties, but some remained here to watch over the residents.
‘If only they had stayed…’
As she muttered to herself the words she could not bring herself to say out loud, the image of a masked man came to mind.
A woman called Cheong by the village elders. Six years ago, Won So-cheong was in danger of suffering a terrible fate at the hands of the Red Ark.
And on that very day, the masked man defeated the Red Ark and saved her.
Recalling the events of that day, the original priests prayed every day that He would return and save them.
Just then, the Taoist priest’s rough shout was heard through the window.
“Hey, they’re demon cult bastards!!”
Startled by the scream, Won So-cheong quickly ran to the window and looked outside.
Crunch.
What she saw was the sight of a Taoist monk’s head being cut off by a sword wielded by a young man.
It was a truly gruesome sight, but for some reason, the first thought that came to her mind was exhilaration.
Her resentment was too great to feel sad at the sight of the Taoist monk who had turned her father into that, and who had killed and crippled the villagers, falling to the ground.
“Father! They are back!”
Won So-cheong turned her head and shouted at Won-gyu, then went out of the house while supporting her father.
At that moment, a group of people were approaching the young man who had slaughtered the two Taoist priests.
“Your Majesty, I have dealt with all the remaining Hwasanpa Taoists remaining in the village.”
As the cold-looking woman reported to the young man, Won So-cheong intuitively realized.
That young man was the masked man who had saved him.
“The coming of Maitreya! May all people be saved!!”
She bowed and cried out with a voice that was coming from her heart.
It wasn’t just her.
Hearing the commotion caused by the deaths of the Hwasanpa Taoist priests, people began to rush out from all over the village and bow to them one by one.
The young man looked at the scene for a moment. Ilmok opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“Don’t you all know now? Before we were members of the Maitreya Buddhism, we were members of the Cheonmasin Buddhism.”
While the villagers hesitated at Ilmok’s words, Won So-cheong bowed again and shouted.
“Heavenly horse has arrived! May all fortunes come true!!”
Thanks to her sincere faith in the Maitreya Buddhism, she was a believer who had already heard the true identity of the Maitreya Buddhism after attending a religious education center.
Funnily enough, in the religious education center, I was just intoxicated with faith and unconditionally accepted their education, but now it was a little different.
The instructors at the religious education center said that Cheonma is a being that rules over all evil in the world with the evil of violence.
‘Ah… that’s so true.’
Just a moment ago, the sight of the man who had been killing the villains who had been harassing the townspeople was truly a sight befitting the doctrine.
“Heavenly horse has arrived! May all fortunes come true!!”
As she, intoxicated by the doctrine, recited the slogan again, the villagers were also moved one by one and began to bow down to the warriors of the Cheonmasin religion.
“Heavenly horse has arrived!! May all fortunes come true!!”
At the sincere appearance of the residents of Goranghyeon, the warriors of Cheonmasingyo nodded their heads with an excited expression or smiled happily.
At that moment, Won-gyu, who was bowing with one broken arm, shouted loudly.
“Oh, Heavenly Horse! All the evil Hwasanpa Taoist priests who have been harassing the common people have moved north!!”
To the ignorant Won-gyu’s shout, Ilmok gestured to calm the people and answered.
“First of all, I am not a Heavenly Demon. Secondly, thank you for informing me of the movements of the Hwasanpa Taoists.”
When Won-gyu tried to bow again with his broken arm in response to Ilmok’s answer, Ilmok quickly approached him and stopped him.
“Your mind alone is enough. We will leave now to chase after the Hwasanpa Taoist monks, so everyone, get some rest.”
Ilmok turned around and left Goranghyeon so that the sick civilians could rest comfortably.
Following this path, the warriors of the Cheonmasingyo also headed north.
“Next, let’s go towards Muwihyeon.”
“Jeonmyeong!”
The warriors responded to Ilmok’s command.
In fact, even if Won-gyu hadn’t shouted, the Ilmok and Cheonmasingyo warriors knew that the Hwasanpa Taoists were heading north.
There were two main reasons why I first visited Golang County, close to Nanzhou, rather than the northern area near Xinjiang.
The first was to wipe out the Hwasan faction, and the second was to avoid the main force of the Jeong faction.
If we were to organize from the north and move south, there was a risk of encountering the main force of the Jeongpa if they were to advance north from Nanju.
Likewise, if the attack had started from the north, there was a risk that the Hwasanpa leader would have escaped to the south and missed the main force of the Jeongpa.
So, Ilmok and the others traveled from Xinjiang to Golang County, Gansu, using mountain paths with few people.
Having ruled Gansu for many years, it was a possible choice as they were familiar with the geography there.
* * *
At that time, two groups of people came to Nanju, Gansu Province.
One group consisted of shaven-headed monks wearing orange robes, while the other group wore uniform attire of blue robes with the word “Changcheon” (蒼天) embroidered on them.
When he heard that they were approaching the place that was once the sutra of the Maitreya Buddhism but has now become the main residence of the sect’s main force, the leader of the sect, Cheok Pae-myeong, went out to greet them with a glad face.
“Buljon! Namgung Gaju! Thank you so much for coming here.”
When Cheokpaemyeong greeted them with a pokwon, Gong Hwan, the great master known as Buljon, recited the Bulho together with the leader of the group, and Namgung Jin, the head of the Namgung family and also known as Geomjon, took the pokwon in return.
“Amitabha.”
“It’s been a while, Leader.”
Both of them, living up to their nicknames, were among the top five masters in the Central Plains. Along with Cheokpaemyeong and Taegeukgeomseon.
Cheokpaemyeong, who welcomed Shaolin and Namgung Se-ga, led Buljon and Namgung Gaju into the interior of the scriptures.
After arriving at the pavilion that was being used as a temporary headquarters, Gongsun Xian came to visit them and briefly told them what had happened.
“Well, let’s wait here for a few more days. Once reinforcements arrive, we plan to advance to Xinjiang.”
At Gongsun Hyun’s explanation, Namgung Jin made a bored expression and Buljon recited the letter with a regretful expression.
“Tsk. This must be boring.”
“In the face of the great evil of the Demonic Cult, you seek personal gain. It is truly a pity, Amitabha.”
After a brief meeting, Buljon and Namgung Se-ga returned to the people they had brought with them.
“I don’t know about the Buddha, but I’m worried about how the Namgung family will move.”
Cheok Pae-myeong nodded at General Gongsun Hyeon’s words.
If Namgung Se-ga started to act on his own like Hwasan or Jongnam, it was bound to be a headache in many ways.
“Haa. Before we scatter further, we must advance to Xinjiang as quickly as possible.”
And the next day.
To Cheok Pae-myeong, who was suffering from impatience, hoping that the allies would gather as quickly as possible, surprising news was delivered.
“My lord! It’s the Demonic Cult!! The Demonic Cult bastards are said to have massacred the Taoist priests of Hwasan in Goranghyeon!!”
* * *
When the news of the Demonic Cult’s attack was first reported to the Murim Alliance.
The warriors of Ilmok and Cheonmasingyo had already passed Muuihyeon and were approaching Geumchanghyeon.
This meant that the distance was so great that it would take a full day of riding without stopping to get there.
Soon they arrived at Geumchang-hyeon and, as they had done in Gorang-hyeon and Muui-hyeon, they executed the Taoist priests who had remained there.
There, the common people who had been harassed by the volcano’s Taoists welcomed them.
“Heavenly horse has arrived! May all fortunes come true!!”
After observing the scene for a moment, Ilmok gave instructions to the soldiers.
“We’ll split up the work and take turns resting.”
After secretly moving along the secluded mountain path from Hapmil to Goranghyeon, he continued running without stopping and headed north from Goranghyeon to Geumchang, where he executed the Hwasanpa Taoist priests.
No matter how strong the warriors were, they would eventually grow tired.
As the villagers began to prepare to find a room in the inn or sleep out if there was no room, following Ichimoku’s instructions, the residents came out in surprise.
“Excuse me, we have one room left in our house!”
The residents tried to help them by giving them rooms they didn’t have.
He even gave food to the unmanned members of the Cheonmasingyo who were taking a break.
Thanks to the help of the civilians, they were able to rest comfortably for a day and leave Geumchang-hyeon early the next morning with lighter bodies.
They moved toward Xinjiang, visiting every village and county in the area to kill the Huashan sect Taoists, and by dawn the next day, they were able to arrive at Jucheon County.
To the west, Juchean County was connected to Dunhuang, the gateway to Xinjiang, and to the north, it was a gateway to the grassland, the territory of nomads.
When the Maitreya Sect was in control of Gansu Province, the Cheonmyeong Sect would usually make their final preparations in Jucheon County and then head to the northern grasslands.
And currently, the leader of the Hwasan faction, who was desperate to take away what belonged to the Maitreya Buddhism, was staying in Jucheonhyeon.
As Ilmok, who was observing the scenery of Jucheonhyeon, which was bathed only in soft moonlight, gestured, the warriors of the Cheonmasingyo took advantage of the darkness to enter Jucheonhyeon.
While the unmanned forces were splitting up into pairs and going to various places in Jucheonhyeon, Ilmok went in a straight line towards somewhere.
In Jucheon County, which was backward in many ways compared to other cities in the Central Plains, there was one town that had a somewhat luxurious atmosphere.
Arriving in front of the tower called ‘Hwang Hyeon-ru’, Ilmok performed a midair step and flew towards the fourth floor, the highest floor.
Crunch!
The spear was torn apart by the sword that Ichimoku lightly swung, and Ichimoku’s shadow, facing away from the moonlight, stretched out into the interior.
There, there was an old man who was hastily getting up from his bed and trying to grab his sword.
Screams and shouts were heard from all over Jucheonhyeon. The sound of weapons clashing against each other began to resonate. A startled old man shouted in a hurry.
“Whoa, who are you!!”
At the shout of the long-suffering Mok Seon-ja, the head of the Hwasan faction, Ilmok openly laughed.
“How funny. You sold our name and harassed the common people, and now you ask who I am?”
“Oh, you’re a demon cult bastard!!”
The moment the hermit, who had finally figured out the general identity of the tree, shouted.
“Long story!!”
Those who noticed the attack quickly opened the door to the room where Jangmun-in was staying.
They were the best swordsmen in the Hwasan faction, the so-called Plum Blossom Swordsmen.
But despite their intrusion, Ichimoku quickly unleashed his lightness and attacked the Hwasanpa leader first.
“Hey you!!”
While the moksenja was surprised, he used the Jahashin Gong, the technique of the leader of the Hwasan faction.
Immediately after the Ascension Sword of Ichimoku clashed with the purple-colored sword of Mokseonja.
bang!!
With a loud bang, the shepherd was thrown backwards, spitting out blood roughly.
“Ugh… .”
It wasn’t a problem with Jahashin Gong. The difference in realms was so great that he couldn’t withstand the great power contained in the Ascension Sword.
It was a single blow that instantly wounded the shepherd, but he clicked his tongue with a look of regret.
“Tsk.”
Before he knew it, seven plum blossom inspectors were surrounding him and swinging their swords.
“Kill that bastard right now!!”
The wooden boatman who had been thrown out in one go was screaming with a furious expression on his face.
