Chapter 336
Episode 336: Trouble is approaching (2)
Provincial leader Hwang So-cheon, who entered the government office, looked embarrassed.
It was none other than the scene unfolding before my eyes.
Isn’t Buyun Wang Sa-pyeong struggling, lying face down on the bailiff’s table? The top official in the opening department.
And on his back, a monster was sitting, crunching its small, walnut-like hands.
“Great man…”
Seeing Hwang So-cheon with his mouth open, Wang Si-pyeong felt like he wanted to die.
I can’t believe the highest military officer from the country leading the Golden Army came to visit and was greeted like this.
“It’s shameful to see you like this.”
“What happened?”
Wang Siping looked at a loss as to what to say.
How can I say that I was receiving a massage on the table of the sacred government office that enforces the law? I have no choice but to cover it up in moderation.
“Well, we are being attacked by a monster. Please help me!”
Huang Xiaotian immediately turned his head and avoided Wang Siping’s gaze.
He was also the captain of the Changryongdae and had met the Yin-Yang Twin Monster several times.
At the same time, he was a person who knew better than anyone else the horror of evil.
“You mean an attack? “What kind of joke…”
When even Hwang So-cheon turned away, Wang Si-pyeong lowered his head in tears. Because I couldn’t raise my face anymore.
At that time, Yuseol, who was sitting on top of him, grinned and said.
“I’m giving you a massage and I’m doing this because I like it.”
Hwang So-cheon pretended not to notice and cleared his throat.
“Hmm!”
“But are you here to see Uncle Wang? “I have to wait a bit.”
“No, I came to see you.”
“Me? why?”
“I just came to say thank you after hearing that Bang Myo was captured. “He was a very difficult person, but thanks to you, it saved me a day.”
The reason why Podu, who had been sent to retrieve the bounty, was delayed seemed to be related to Hwang So-cheon.
No matter what the story was, I wasn’t interested in it.
“Then you will give me the bounty too?”
Hwang So-cheon took out something thin wrapped in silk from his pocket and held it out.
“I heard everything. It contains a voucher issued by the imperial family. “You can exchange it for 500 nyang of silver on any battlefield.”
A jeonjang (錢場) is a place where you can exchange money and can be found in the markets of large cities.
It made no difference whether I received it in kind or in a voucher.
What was important was that the hermit was worth a whopping five hundred nyang. It was a whopping 200 nyang more than the promised amount.
“Five hundred cat!?”
The new form of Yusul flew towards him at the speed of light.
Taaa-!
Yu Seol quickly snatched the slip from Hwang So-cheon and looked at its contents.
It was definitely a 500-nyang silver voucher with the imperial seal stamped on it.
“You caught Bang Myo like no one else. Moreover, since it is a reward for holding a government position, it is only right to receive that level of compensation.”
At that moment, Yoo Seol criticized Wang Sa-pyeong with a venomous look in his eyes.
“You said 500 nyang of silver won’t work!? “You said you couldn’t give it to me?”
Wang Sa-pyeong, who was freed from bondage, got down from the table and said,
“That means there is a problem with my authority. “That person is higher than me.”
To calm down the fussing voice, Hwang So-cheon spoke in a polite tone.
“What the Great King said is not wrong. So please stop your anger.”
Wang Sa-pyeong was also anxious.
If you get angry, you don’t know what harm you can do to yourself.
He asked Huang Xiaotian to change the topic.
“Anyway, the provincial commander wouldn’t have come all the way here just to hand over the bounty. “Do you have any other business?”
As Wang Sa-pyeong expected, Hwang So-cheon came for a different business.
He nodded once and then asked Yu Seol again.
“That’s right. “I have one more thing to confirm with you, Mr.
“What?”
“I have confirmed the information that Yanggoi Daehyeop and Paedomun’s messenger headed to Seongsan. Of course, we were relieved because we thought you were moving together…”
It was a story about an evil beast that attacked and wiped out several martial forces without any connection.
It seemed that Hwang So-cheon was secretly hoping that Yin Kai would solve the problem.
Yoo Seol blinked and asked as if he had no idea what was going on.
“What do you mean?”
“Where is Yang Kai Dahyeop now? “This is a very important matter, so you must know.”
“Our grandpa? He must be training in Shaanxi right now…” Now
that I think about it, it’s been a while since I left Paedomun.
At that time, my grandfather had been practicing closing the pipe for two months, and I could only assume that he was still doing so.
However, Hwang So-cheon’s subsequent answer was completely unexpected.
“That’s not true. “I was in Sunyang Village near here just yesterday.”
“What did you say!?”
Seeing Yin Kai’s expression that he knew nothing, Huang Xiaotian’s complexion suddenly darkened.
“From now on, listen to me carefully. The fearsome masters from Tianchu Wulin are now heading to Songshan. “As far as we can tell, they are masters of Dara Esoteric Buddhism who are at odds with Soreoeumsa.”
Whether it was Soroeumsa or Daramyo, the circumstances of Cheonchuk Wurim were not of interest.
What I was curious about was where my grandfather was and what his situation was.
“So?”
“If you fight them with all your might, you will definitely be annihilated.”
Yu Seol became confused by Hwang So-cheon’s sudden words.
Could it be that he is playing a joke on himself? I couldn’t help but doubt it.
“It’s not a lie, is it?”
“The lives of my men also depend on it. We’ve already sent some people there to apply. However, if you do not help us, we will definitely be annihilated.”
Yoo Seol, who was lost in thought for a moment, remembered what Jeong Hye had said in the past.
In return for his help in the defense of Paedomun, he asked him to help him fight against the master of the Saewoe Murim in the future.
Yoo Seol felt that now was the time.
“all right. “I will go to Songshan now.”
“Thank you. “For the sake of the world, please take them down.”
Before he could finish his words, Yu Seol’s new form was shot out like a flash of lightning.
My grandfather’s safety is at stake, so there is no room for hesitation.
Kwaang-!
The figure behind him disappeared as a beam of light through the door, so quickly it became so far away that it was not visible to the naked eye.
When the sound disappeared, Wang Si-pyeong asked Hwang So-cheon with a face full of doubts.
“What are all those things you just said?”
“Even the great people don’t know. “Who am I?”
In the past, Yu Jin-san tried to hunt down the Changryong members by using Wang Sa-pyeong, the head of the opening department.
In the process, Wangsapyeong also learned the hidden identity of Hwang So-cheon. Afterwards, he was captured by King Geum and almost beheaded as a traitor.
Wang Sa-pyeong and Hwang So-cheon, who survived after many twists and turns, maintained a somewhat uncomfortable relationship. Until now.
“Is the heavenly spirit that you are using all your might to stop it so great?”
Huang Xiaotian’s head nodded slightly.
“They are planning to rule the whole world. “This is only a part of it.”
“How can one country have such terrifying power?”
Hwang So-cheon sighed as he looked at the sky outside the door that the monster had destroyed.
“For a long time, in the Jungwon Murim, political factions and factions did not stop fighting, and the country was constantly at war. “They have been storing up their power for hundreds of years, like lava from a volcano, while ours has been declining.”
“So you’re saying the volcano is about to erupt now?”
“Of course. Now that difficult times are upon us, we also need heroes. “Isn’t that right?”
Wang Sa-pyeong, who had been listening silently, muttered with a shocked expression on his face.
“I agree with what the provincial commander said, but that evil sound…”
Hwang So-cheon, who sensed his feelings, said with a chuckle.
“I know roughly what kind of trouble the Great Man had to endure from the Yin-Yang twin monsters in the past. However, it is not up to us to decide who is a hero. “It’s what the world creates.”
* * *
Temporary base near Songshan Samhwangchae.
This is the back road leading from Taprim, the innermost part of Shaolin Temple, and was a place where I stayed in the past.
Right now, Yu Jin-san was here educating Jeong-hye about her impatience.
“You know what I’m talking about, right? If you go out alone like that, you’ll all die together. Do you understand?”
“….”
Jeonghye just lowered her head, whining like a puppy that wanted to poop.
Jin-san Yu seemed to still not feel safe and continued to admonish him, even pointing a point at him.
“You have to move while looking at the situation to see if there is a chance of winning. Didn’t you hear that there are two enemies? “My Seol hasn’t been like that since he was five years old.”
It was a time when I was nagging for a while.
Someone was approaching from afar with a gust of wind.
He was a middle-aged man wearing a Shaolin monk’s uniform.
“Your brother was right. “Because I go around like this, people don’t seem to be very suspicious.”
It was Baek Gyu, the owner of Paedo Gate.
For reconnaissance, he had obtained a Shaolin temple monk’s uniform and was wearing it.
Yu Jin-san said, barely holding back his laughter.
“You worked hard. “No matter how you look at him, he seems like an infallible monk.”
Baek-gyu took off his monk’s clothes and shook his head.
“Ugh. Don’t ever do something like this again. “If there is even a rumor in Gangho, it would be a complete shame.”
“If not now, when will I ever wear a monk’s uniform again? “Anyway, how did the reconnaissance go?”
Baek-gyu took off his monk’s clothes, sat down on the floor covered with fallen leaves, and spoke.
“Well, I guess we don’t have to step forward.”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems that the Shaolin monk has already predicted this to some extent. “The temple’s entrance is very well prepared.”
“hmm. “How much was it?”
“There was a large Arhat camp spread out at the entrance. The rest are gathered in front of Daeungbojeon, and even the Great Monk Hyegwang and the Four Great Geumgangs have come. And I also saw Monk Bangjang.”
The Great Nahan Jin is famous for the strongest fighting method performed by more than 500 monks.
And its power is known to be several times that of the Hundred Eight Nahanjin.
In addition, the Four Great Vajra, comprised of the four strongest monks in Shaolin Temple, were mobilized.
There was literally no Yongdamhohyeol.
“Do you mean that much? “It’s beyond your imagination.”
“Not only that. I saw about seven masters who came from outside to support me, but I think
they were probably the Changryongdae.”
Baekgyu asked with his eyes wide open.
“How do you know?”
“When it comes to matters related to Cheonchuk, they are the type of people who throw tantrums without hesitation.”
Moreover, Hwang So-cheon said that all information related there would be shared with the Murim Alliance.
So, to some extent, this was expected.
“Don’t you think we can just come down at this rate?”
In this situation, there was no need to remain here.
Especially from Baek-gyu’s perspective, the Shaolin Temple was like an enemy. I only came this far out of loyalty to the help I received from Jeong-hye.
It’s well-protected, so what else is there to do?
Yu Jin-san also nodded in agreement and looked at Jeong-hye.
“Are you relieved now? My younger brother tells me to stop going down. “Don’t just go in again, get beaten up, and get kicked out.”
“No….”
“What’s wrong with no?”
Jeonghye frowned and shouted irritably.
“It’s not enough!”
Jinsan Yu and Baekgyu quietly made eye contact with each other.
Because a feeling of anxiety passed through my mind.
“You’re saying it’s not possible even with so many experts gathered together?”
Jeonghye slowly nodded her head with solemn eyes.
“It’s dangerous… we’ll all die. “I have to go.”
At that time, an alarm bell started ringing in the direction where the temple was located.
Tsk-! Tsk-! Tsk-!!
Baek-gyu said as he took up his weapon.
“Looks like you’ve finally arrived.”
Yu Jin-san nodded once and said while holding Jeong-hye’s arm.
“If you don’t want to go and get embarrassed like last time, you should not step forward and just do what your brother tells you to do. First, let’s take a look at the situation. okay?”
“Okay, bro.”
After hearing the positive answer, Yu Jin-san looked satisfied and took out two pieces of cloth that he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
And he held one of them out to Baekgyu.
“Why are you giving me this, brother?”
“There’s nothing good about our identities being revealed, so let’s at least cover our faces. Or put on your monk’s clothes again.”
Even if they covered their faces, they wouldn’t be able to hide their identities until the end. The Murim Alliance would also be aware of their whereabouts.
However, it was not possible for the masters of the Sa sect to openly go around Shaolin, the sect’s sacred place.
Baekgyu accepted the cloth without hesitation.
“I will refuse to wear monk’s clothing.”
After completing preparations, the three began moving in the direction of the temple without making any traces.
