Chapter 341
Episode 341: Tell Your Sister (1)
Ten days have already passed since the battle with the blood monk ended.
Although countless monks died, the power of the Shaolin Temple was beyond imagination.
Hundreds of outside lay disciples came every day to be examined for formal initiation.
The temple came back to life, and Jinsan Yu and Baekgyu were able to almost recover from their injuries.
“Now it’s time for us to leave.”
Jinsan Yu and Baekgyu were walking through the temple, shoulder to shoulder.
The figures of the four factions are openly walking around Shaolin Temple, which is no different from the sacred site of the political faction.
Still, no one tried to stop him. Because it was a special benefit given to the benefactors who saved Shaolin Temple.
Baekgyu nodded, relieving his stiff shoulders.
“I think it would be a good idea. “Before I get attached to the guys.”
“By the way, didn’t you see our Seol? “I don’t know where he went, but I haven’t seen him since morning.”
“iced coffee. Didn’t you hear what I said? He sang to the young people that he would cook for them. “Children shouldn’t only eat vegetables.”
“Well…”
As Yu Jin-san let out a worried sigh, Baek-gyu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“Why are you sighing like that? “I can’t praise my niece who has a fairy-like heart.”
There was no need to answer.
Because young monks were pouring out of a nearby temple.
It was as if they were trying to run away from something.
And most of them had faces that were either pale or covered in tears.
“Tsk.”
Unlike Yu Jin-san, who clicked his tongue, Baek-gyu could not guess the English sentence.
“I guess Seol beat up other kids his age. Don’t blame me too much though. “People from political factions need to be beaten sometimes to be listened to.”
At that time, Yu Seol appeared behind the fleeing monks, clutching a spatula.
It was impossible not to find that sight funny. This is because it looked like a mother scolding her children for not eating.
“Guys, where are you going!? “I have to eat and go!”
Yoo Seol, who was heartbroken, put both hands on her waist and made a pouty expression.
Then, I spotted a familiar face and immediately shouted.
“Uncle Baekgyu!”
Baek-gyu waved one hand above his head as he looked at Yoo Seol, who was smiling.
“What is my nephew doing there?”
“I cooked it, uncle. “Are you hungry?”
Baek-gyu nodded without thinking and proposed to Yu Jin-san.
“older brother. Even if I don’t do that, I’m hungry these days because I only eat grass roots…”
Yu Jin-san urgently cleared his throat and walked forward alone.
“No! “I decided to meet Monk Bangjang, so you can eat alone.”
Why would a person who was leisurely just a moment ago walk quickly with a straight face?
Baek-gyu looked at Yu Jin-san’s back with strange eyes.
Yoo Seol approached him at the speed of light and crossed his arms.
“Let’s go in quickly, uncle. “There’s a lot of delicious food inside.”
Baek-gyu, who was tilting his head, was soon caught by Yu-seol and dragged into the palace.
“That’s right. “Then, shall we take a look at Seol’s cooking skills?”
“Hi-Hi. It will be delicious. You can’t leave it behind~”
* * *
Meanwhile, Yu Jin-san, who barely escaped the crisis, continued moving to meet Monk Bangjang.
I had been to Shaolin Temple before, so it wasn’t that unfamiliar to me.
At that time, I was chased away as if I was running away, but now it is different.
Doesn’t every monk he meets express his gratitude by putting his hands together?
‘Still, the bullies are more polite than the talkative ones.’
Jinsan Yu passed through Janggyeonggak and arrived in front of the director’s office with a satisfied expression.
However, instead of going inside, he stood in front of the door and waited for a while. This is because other guests were inside first.
Jinsan Yu had no choice but to unintentionally overhear the conversation.
“Are you really summoning all the disciples dispatched to the Murim Alliance to the temple?”
“Please do so. The Shaolin Temple has been too deeply involved in worldly affairs. “We must no longer use force for meaningless things.”
“Does that mean you are withdrawing from the alliance?”
The sound of banging on the wooden table was heard along with the room manager’s displeasure.
“Amitabha Buddha. Is there any reason not to do that? “From now on, the enemy that we Shaolin must fight against is not the Sapa.”
“I understand what you mean. The head of the room will be put to death.”
“Thank you for understanding what I mean. “By the way, how is our Hyegwang’s physical condition?”
“You asked me before. “Aren’t you taking too much care of your students?”
“Hmm! Did it look like that?”
“Now that the broken bones are starting to heal, it will gradually recover.”
“Thank you. Then, please go away now. “The customer we’ve been waiting for has arrived.”
Monk Bangjang had already noticed that he had come.
After a while, the door opened and an old monk came out.
It was the noon Zen master with the second highest distribution in Shaolin Temple.
“Amitabha Buddha. “Monk Bangjang is waiting for you, so please go in.”
“Thank you.”
Jin-san Yu faced him, placed his hands together, and took turns entering the director’s room.
An old monk was sitting there, clutching prayer beads, on an old table.
It was a familiar face, but I couldn’t get used to it.
‘How can a person change like that? For some reason, it feels refreshing.’
After the previous head of the house was killed by a blood monk, the person who took over the position was Jeonghye.
His foolish appearance disappeared and he became a Zen monk full of kindness.
“Why did you ask to see me? “I was planning to leave soon.”
“The Lord cannot leave now.”
“What do you mean? “I kept my promise, so I understand that we don’t owe each other anything now.”
It was something I couldn’t understand.
The promise to support Shaolin Temple in return for help from Jeonghye was successfully fulfilled.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t guess anything. Except for one thing.
‘no way?’
just as expected. Jeonghye smiled and opened her mouth.
“There is still one thing left. “The Taegeuk geongunjang that the lord promised me.”
I never thought Jeonghye would still have such a sly expression on her face.
At this moment, it was as if I was seeing the beauty of the past.
“Have you forgotten that yet?”
“How could I forget? “The donor took away the Shaolin Buddhist temples from me, so I should at least receive them.”
Yu Jin-san was dumbfounded.
Of course, Jeonghye’s claim was not wrong.
In the past, didn’t he steal and learn the secrets of the Baekbo Divine Realm from Janggyeonggak and persuade Jeonghye to teach him the Yeokgeun Sutra and the Diamond Buddha God Technique?
These were all considered the highest temples of Shaolin Temple.
Asking for the Taegeuk Gungonjang in return was not an unreasonable request.
It’s just a hassle.
“How can a monk who walks the Buddhist path be so greedy?”
Jeonghye spoke tremblingly without even blinking her eyes.
“To say it’s greed is an exaggeration. “Still, we are on good terms with each other, but you have no sense of loyalty?”
Yu Jin-san swallowed the air as if he was astounded.
I never thought they’d even bring up the phrase ‘hohyeonghoje’.
There seemed to be no other way anyway. Because I didn’t want to be known as an unscrupulous person in the world.
“Do you just want Taegeuk Geongonjang?”
Jeonghye nodded without any hesitation.
“No matter what happens, Theravada, I really want to learn that martial arts.”
Even when Jeonghye was obsessed with Simma, she was particularly obsessed with martial arts.
Since he had given me enlightenment, it was not strange to have regrets.
But before that, there was one thing that needed to be made clear.
“So, does that mean it’s okay for me to continue practicing Shaolin Temple martial arts?”
“We have already reached that consensus internally. On the condition that you do not pass it on to others. “I also will not share Taegeuk Geongonjang with anyone else.”
I thought maybe Taegeuk Geongonjang might be a pawn.
If she leaks the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, Jeonghye will also be able to spread Taegeuk Geongunjang, the representative martial art of Confucianism, to the monks of Shaolin Temple.
But that wasn’t what either of them wanted.
“Okay. “I will accept your offer.”
Now there was no reason to be criticized even if Shaolin martial arts were used openly.
And wouldn’t it be possible to continue to receive help from Jeonghye in the work of raising the hwahu of Yeok Geun-gyeong?
It was a transaction with nothing to lose.

When I returned to the guesthouse after meeting Jeong-hye, Baek-gyu was lying on the bed alone.
For some reason, his complexion looked very pale.
Yu Jin-san asked with surprised eyes.
“Baek ow! Why are you lying down like that? “Hurry up and tell me what’s wrong.”
“This is my first time doing something like this. “I have a fever all over my body and I don’t feel well.”
“I’m going to take a quick pulse.”
“Why so much…”
Yu Jin-san, who was looking at his wrist, said in a dark voice.
“Your Qi and blood are very unstable, as if you are about to be attacked by a demon. “Has anything really surprised you?”
“There was nothing. “Except for tasting the food my nephew made…”
“You probably didn’t just take everything you were given, right? The worst thing is that it would be no different from a deadly poison that even a 100,000-poison fire attack wouldn’t work on. “Why not just pretend to eat?”
“The company ledger must keep every word once spoken. “If you say you’re going to eat, isn’t it the man who has to eat?”
As expected, he was an ignorant person that no one could follow.
Yu Jin-san sighed and told me everything he had shared with Jeong-hye.
The point was that I had to stay here for a while longer to pass on Taegeuk Geongonjang.
After listening to the whole story, Baekgyu nodded and agreed.
“Isn’t it better? “Brother, do as you wish.”
“hmm. “Then what should my brother do?”
“As soon as I regain my strength, I will return to Paedomun Gate first.”
“Please do so. Moonju shouldn’t be away for too long. “Is there anything else you want to say?”
Baek-gyu, who hesitated for a moment, began to cry and gently grabbed Jin-san’s arm.
“Be sure to convey my words to your beloved nephew. “Uncle, I can understand everything… I’m telling you not to get hurt.”
“There was a reason why Seol liked you. “I understand.”
* * *
After Baek-gyu left, Jin-san Yu spent a lot of time with Jeong-hye.
The purpose was to teach him Taegeuk Geongonjang and to receive help in training Yeokgeungyeong.
Because I was so busy, I barely had time to play with my granddaughter.
Is that why? Yu Seol wandered around Shaolin Temple day after day, looking for fun things to do in his boring daily life.
Now there is no place I haven’t been to.
So much so that I could draw a map of the temple with my eyes closed.
“ha. “I’m bored~ I’m bored~”
I was walking around the Shaolin Temple at this very moment, but no one was looking at me strangely.
The yin-yang twin monsters, who had already become famous in the temple, were revered by everyone.
Yoo Seol’s eyes looked around and soon found the target.
Isn’t there someone crouching under the tree and sobbing?
“Black. “Kkeuhuh…”
It was a small-bodied monk whose height was about chest height.
The temple had recently received a large number of new disciples, so there were many young monks, but he seemed the youngest among them.
Yoo Seol turned his back and trudged closer to his sister-in-law.
“Ahem! “What is it that makes a little boy like our chestnut so sad that he’s crying? Should my sister buy him a snack
?”
Yu Seol nodded and stroked the younger monk’s shiny hair.
“Ugh, it’s me. But why are you crying here alone?”
“it’s nothing.”
It wasn’t just a rumor to be ignored.
As I was bored, I quietly held my ear with an expression that said I had a good time.
“Did you hear that my sister gets scary when she’s angry?”
“Yes….”
“Can’t I lie?”
The monk put his hands together with a frightened face.
“I was very wrong.”
“Then go ahead and tell me the truth. Why were you sobbing?”
