◈ Harvest (1)
Not long after Mujin subdued Hwang Gon, the battle ended.
This meant that the misreading had been erased in South Manchuria.
Most of the Germans belonging to the Odogmun, including the owner of the Odogmun, died, and those who joined to help them were not much different.
Of course, Mujin was not without damage in the process.
Several people from the Red Tigers who fought against the warriors of Shincheon lost their lives, and the combined damage to the Beast Palace and the Sun Palace was over a hundred.
However, considering that the number of enemies was close to eight hundred, this was very minor damage.
For the first time, he took advantage of his solo attack and launched a solo attack, and the Beast Palace Lord and the Sun Palace Lord ran wild in front of him.
And because Mujin and Ouyangpae were holding Hwanggon together, they were able to minimize the damage.
Corpses scattered on the floor, injured enemies and allies, etc.
At the time, people from the Beast Palace and the Sun Sign were busy moving around to organize the battlefield.
Mujin moved to a remote location with Ouyangpae. He carried the unconscious Hwang Gon on his back.
Now that the situation was sorted out, the intention was to proceed with the interrogation in earnest.
The reason for joining Ooyangpae was simple.
‘The whole story has gone awry, so it would be better for this guy to know what he knows.’
He could have told Ooyang-pae after the interrogation, but Mu-jin thought that hearing it directly from that bastard’s mouth would be more trustworthy than hearing it from himself.
Mu-jin, who arrived at a corner, put down the yellow gun he was carrying on the floor and hit his cheek.
“!!!”
Only then did Hwang Gon wake up from his faint, but there was confusion in his eyes.
This was because he did not know why he was alive. In the meantime, Hwang Gon realized that his body was not moving and clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘Torture doesn’t appeal to me.’
Like other martial artists in Shincheon, Hwang Gon had experience of receiving training in torture when he was young.
But Mujin had no intention of torturing Hwang Gon.
Mujin took out a pill from his arms. The medicine was a psychic pill.
Mujin’s request for reinforcements from Sacheondanga was not simply for the sole purpose of inviting a poison expert.
Since they discovered a person considered to be the great lord of Shincheon, they also requested a psychic pill.
Mujin forced Hwang Gon’s mouth, which had been suppressed, to open his mouth, put a spirit pill in his mouth, forced him to chew by moving his jaw, and made him swallow by moving his neck.
“Ugh!!”
When Hwang Gon was given a strange medicine, he tried to fight back, but it was a meaningless struggle because his blood vessels were suppressed.
And after a while.
“That’s it.”
Mujin tilted his head as if satisfied with the way Hwanggon’s eyes became glassy.
“What is your name?”
“This is Hwang Kun.”
“What is your position in Sincheon?”
“The five continents.”
When the somewhat expected answer came out, Mujin turned his head, glanced at Ouyangpae, and asked Hwang Gon again.
“Are you the one who passed on the information about the Red Tigers to the Sun Palace?”
“That’s right.”
Ouyang Pae looked momentarily surprised by Hwang Gon’s answer, but Mu Jin continued to ask questions.
“Why did you do that?”
“A letter has arrived from the Magyo branch. “His man named Ouyang Pae is coming this way, so I want you to create a trap that he can’t escape.”
“Does that mean that your Shincheon ganja is hiding in the Demonic Cult as well?”
“That’s right.”
As the shocking news continued, Ouyang Pai found it difficult to keep a straight face.
But what followed was even more shocking than what I heard before.
“Then who is the highest-ranking member of the Demonic Cult?”
“This is Lee Dae-ju.”
“A great master like you.”
“That’s right.”
“So, what position does Daeju Lee hold in the Demonic Cult?”
“This is Gwangmyeongjwasa Temple.”
“!!!”
Ouyangpae’s eyes, which were already large and dark, grew even wider at the unexpected information.
This was because, unlike the Usa, the Jwasa seemed to want to protect the demon religion.
‘What Geumyanghwi said was true!’
Geumyanghwi’s words that Master Zuo had also defected were true.
No, now that I see it, it wasn’t even deterioration. In the first place, it was the work of another force.
On the other hand, Mujin was thinking of ‘as expected’.
Since I had read Part 1 of the novel, I already knew that Zuo Shi was a traitor.
However, in the novel, it was not revealed that Jwasa was related to Shincheon.
In the first part of the novel, he just pretended to be a corrupt renegade and lost his life to Ouyangpae.
However, after reading Part 2 of the novel and wandering around as the main character of Part 3, I was inferring that one of the Left Masters and the Right Doctors would definitely be related to Shincheon.
“Then, is Usa just a traitor?”
When Mu-jin asked if there was any possibility, Hwang-gon, who had been subdued by the spirit pill, shook his head.
“no.”
“if?”
“Usa has been brainwashed by Onmyanggo.”

“!!!”
“Yin-Yang-Go? “What is that?”
While Mujin looks surprised. Ouyang Pae, who was watching next to her, intervened and asked.
When Huang Kun told him all the information about Yin-Yang High School, Ouyang Pae asked again with an angry face.
“So, are you saying that Left Master fed that Yin-Yang Go to Usa?”
“That’s right. “I heard that Yin-Yang-go was not noticeable at all when it was in the elixir, so he tricked it into using elixir and fed it to Usa.”
“Then, father. No, what happened to the Heavenly Demon?”
“When the current leader of the Demonic Cult entered training at a closed temple to master the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. “I understand that Lee Dae-ju set a trap with Usa, who was brainwashed by Yin-Yang Go, and lured him into the Juhwa Ilma.”
“So, does this mean that the position of the Heavenly Demon is currently vacant?”
“I understand he is not dead. “I heard that it was just a living corpse with only life attached to it.”
“… … .”
A power struggle between half-brothers.
I thought they were just condoning it because it is a demonic religion that follows the law of self-respect.
Now I see that everything was a trick by that force called Shincheon.
When Ouyangpae was trying to recover from the shock.
Mujin asked what might be the most important part.
“So, how many more people have been affected by that onmyanggo?”
Perennial snow ginseng received as the winning prize from the Yongbong branch.
Mujin thought that the onmyanggo contained there would be the first and last onmyanggo. That is, until we received information that Usa had been hit by Onmyanggo.
And when Hwang Gon returned, Mujin could not help but tilt his head.
“Woosa of the Demonic Cult and Shaolin Divine Dragon. “It’s just the two of us.”
Who would have thought that his own special name would appear here.
‘ah. In Sincheon, they think I ate that perennial snow ginseng!’
When Mujin was wondering how he could take advantage of the other person’s misunderstanding.
Sreung.
Ouyangpae immediately pulled out his sword and aimed it at Mujin.
“It means you too can be brainwashed by those authors at any time.”
“I didn’t eat it, so put that sword away.”
“You didn’t eat it?”
“okay.”
Mu-jin, who answered with a sullen expression, asked Hwang-gon to confirm with Ouyang-pae.
“Is that yin-yang-go that I ate, by any chance, the one that was in the Yongbongji Association’s winning prize, Perennial Seolsam?”
“That’s right.”
“If that was the case, I felt uncomfortable for some reason, so I broke it. “When I ground it into powder, I found that there was a small bug inside the perennial ginseng.”
Now, ‘Can you believe it?’ It was Mu-jin who glared at Ouyang-pae with a bewildering look, but Ouyang-pae was looking at Mu-jin as if he were crazy.
‘I can’t believe you destroyed the eternal snow ginseng, known as the elixir of heaven, without even eating it.’
According to common sense, it was something that only a crazy person could do.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess he’s crazy.’
Perhaps because it seemed reasonable, Ouyangpae eventually raised his sword.
When it seemed like he had succeeded in persuading Ouyang Pae, Mu Jin turned his gaze towards Hwang Gon again.
‘I guess time is running out now?’
I roughly expected the Demonic Cult, but too much time was wasted by the story about Onmyanggo.
So, Mujin asked what he was most curious about first.
“So, why on earth were you here in Namman?”
“It was to take control of the Yunnan and Nanman region by utilizing the Wuduqiang and the Qianqiang faction.”
“therefore. I can understand the fortune telling, but why go all the way to Namman? “If the dream is to unify Murim, wouldn’t it be better to invest more of the power that would be used in the South into the central region?”
“Our goal is not unification of Moorim.”
“???”
While Mujin was making an expression of incomprehension, an unexpected and absurd story came out of Hwang Gon’s mouth.
“Our purpose is to open a new sky. “It’s about founding a new empire.”
“!!!”
“Our great lords are the ones who will lead the army when a new sky opens. These are the people who have been promised the position of general. I was in charge of Nanman and Yunnan when a new sky opened. “I was going to be in charge of the military in this area.”
It was a series of absurd stories, but as I listened to them, I felt like the fog in my head was clearing.
‘shit. ‘Is that why she didn’t come to the forefront even though she had that much power?
Shincheon’s power was considerable. Based on what he knew, there were as many as eight great masters who were comparable to the Seven Kings, the current top martial arts leaders, and the Three Swords of the World.
Of course, Yunhyangwonju and King Nang of Sichuan died, and Hwang Gon was also destined to die soon.
But what if you didn’t intervene?
In terms of the number and quality of the masters, the power of Shincheon and Wulin as a whole was almost equal.
Considering that Hyeok Jin-gang, one of the great lords, was active openly, it is possible that among the remaining seven kings, there could also be a great lord.
Moreover, since there are positions higher than the Great Lord, there may be even more outstanding masters lurking around.
That’s what Mujin thought.
Since their power is similar, they are working behind the scenes to minimize damage.
But now that I see it, from the beginning, Moorim Unification was just a process, not a goal.
‘Is that why you were so persistent in trying to control only the leadership?’
From the beginning, they were trying to use the power they had attracted as a kind of chess horse.
It is a horse that will be used in a war with the current imperial family in the distant future.
Mujin, whose thoughts had reached that point, asked the question again.
“Then who are the great lords of the new heavens and those who are higher than the great lords?”
“The river in the area is Hyeokjin River, the head of the Sado Alliance. And Lee Dae-ju is the Gwangmyeongjwasa of the Heavenly Demon Church. The three major provinces are Shandong Province… … Cough.”
However, while answering Mujin’s question, Hwang Gon suddenly coughed blood and his eyes returned little by little.
It was not successful in resisting the psychic pill.
“shit. Is time already over?”
The time that the psychic pill’s poison could be maintained was over, causing a kind of helioplast phenomenon.
* * *
Immediately after Hwang Gon vomited blood and died.
Mujin opened his mouth, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
“What do you plan to do from now on?”
“What do you mean?”
“Now that you know why the upper echelons of the Demonic Cult are rotten, you must have thought of something, right?”
“I was just convinced that the church needed to be purified. “Nothing has changed.”
The path of apostasy has already been chosen. Rather, I just gained confidence that this path was the right one. It was difficult to return to school now.
And this time, Ouyangpae asked Mujin in reverse.
“But, as a disciple of Shaolin, why are you so interested in the affairs of the Demonic Cult?”
“I’m not really interested in the Demonic Cult? I’m just chasing these guys. “It’s just that I got tangled up with the Demonic Cult this time.”
Ouyangpae snorted at Mujin’s answer.
“If this guy had been the target, you would have been able to conduct the interrogation alone. “If the fact that you dragged me in and made me listen to this information wasn’t intentional, what would it be?”
Perhaps because he was a very smart man, Ooyangpae quickly figured out Mujin’s intentions.
“I will tell you in advance. Thanks to you, I learned the truth about the upper echelons of the church, but I have no intention of playing along as you intended after purifying the church. Shaolin Divine Dragon.”
Ouyangpae has known Mujin’s identity for a long time.
From the beginning, he identified himself as a disciple of Shaolin, and it was impossible to not know that others called him Mujin.
As he was called the Jeongpa Jeil Gijae with the nickname Shaolin Shinryong, Mujin’s name and nickname spread all the way to Xinjiang.
Of course, it wasn’t difficult to guess Mujin’s identity just by hearing his name.
And the reason he bothered to mention that nickname now was to draw a line between Mujin and Shaolin.
Mujin also understood his intention and thought for a moment about what he should reply.
However, since he is a smart guy, it would not be easy for him to pass on a proper pun.
So, Mujin scratched his head and said something half-sincere.
“I had no intention of taking charge of the Demonic Cult. “Why would you do such a troublesome thing by messing around with a demonic cult full of demons?”
“Then what was your intention?”
“I thought that if it were you, you might be able to change the demonic religion into a slightly more sane place.”
“What do you see in me that makes you think like that?”
“While he was busy with his mission, he took pity on the civilians of the forest and moved separately to eliminate the demonic bandits. And because of what you said last time. “Didn’t they say that the warriors who were swallowed up by the demonic force were not true warriors?”
“… … .”
“I just thought that if a man with such thoughts became the leader, the demons of the Demonic Cult would decrease a little.”
After hearing Mujin’s answer, Ouyangpae looked at Mujin with a complicated expression.
‘… … Still, a monk is a monk.’
In addition to Shaolin, there were various sects that focused on Buddhism located in the central plains.
And the disciples of that sect were all murderers who cried out for the destruction of demons and were anxious to kill demons.
However, the original Buddhist teaching advocated by Shakyamuni Buddha was compassion.
It was not mercy, which meant unconditional forgiveness.
It was the mercy of the Buddha that allowed people to repent of their sins, gain enlightenment, and be liberated from suffering.
‘If you think about it, you didn’t kill me in the end even though you knew I was a descendant of the Heavenly Demon. I was told to take care of the demonic spirit and lead others to prevent them from being eaten by the demonic spirit.’
No matter what anyone says, the way he tried to guide his opponent rather than kill him was similar to that of a monk with high Buddhist merit.
