< Episode 161 > Sword Demon and Morong (1)
“It looks like we’ve reached a conclusion. Ambassador.”
I don’t think there will be any objection. After saying that, Yeon Myeong turned around and walked away. As the winner or loser of the dance was decided, there was a possibility that there would be cheers from the audience, but there was only silence in the stadium. That is why the shock of the destruction of the Geumgang Buddha God must have been so great.
“….for a moment”
Jaune, who was staring at Yeon Myeong’s back in confusion, suddenly came to his senses and said.
“I admit that Nonap lost in the match. I also apologize for saying that I was arrogant earlier. On the contrary, it was Nonap who was the underdog… so you have no shame.”
“No. It’s thanks to the Ambassador’s circumstances.”
When Jaune accepted the outcome of the fight in a simple tone and apologized, Yeon Myeong turned around and smiled, saving his face. If he had been like his original personality, he would have completely suppressed him with his skills so that he wouldn’t have any thoughts of opposing him again, but now, Yeon Myeong also realized that he was the head of an organization. In particular, the fire fighters who joined the Jeongcheon Alliance, including Jaun, would be used as a useful force in the future. It would be better to maintain an amicable relationship as much as possible. Of course, since Jongnam’s academic luck was exemplary, there was a feeling that excessive efforts were made, but what can you do? That was his luck too.
“Thank you for saying that. However, all the monks here know that those are empty words. After all, we have destroyed the Shaolin’s Vajra Buddha and God of Shaolin.”
“!!”
Jaune’s words were like a declaration of sorts. It was acknowledged that the unrivaled divine power of Shaolin’s Adamantine Buddha, which had never been officially broken even once, had been completely defeated by the Dark Poison Sword Dragon Yeon Myeong, who had not even reached his contract yet. The Arhat monks in the back looked astonished. It’s as if Jaun doesn’t understand why he would lower the reputation of a monk by mentioning something that could have been done by just admitting defeat.
But Jaune had his own ideas.
‘It’s really not for my age. ‘He seems to have good character’
To be honest, after hearing various stories from Jongnam’s Hak-un, Ja-un did not think of Yeon-myeong very favorably. No, she couldn’t have good feelings because the purpose of Shaolin sending Jaun in the first place was to keep the Tang family in check. Before she started fighting, she dared to use only her sword against herself, and she was cruel.
But that wasn’t a fool’s errand. Jaune has faced numerous swordsmen in the past, but he has never been completely defeated like today. Because Shaolin martial arts was destroyed from its foundation. The words of Yeon-myeong, talking about the unfortunate event, still ring in my ears. I thought it was just cheeky, but now I realize that if I had used my memorization and venom, I might have really had to clean up the invoice.
‘If he was a person who was greedy for fame, he would not have stopped even after destroying the God of Geumgangbulgoeji.’
As Jaun has lived for a long time, it has seen many different types of humans. He was well aware of the habits of those who covet fame, wealth, and power. If Yeon Myeong were like that, he would not only destroy the Diamond Buddha God, who was the symbol of Shaolin martial arts, but he would also completely defeat Jaun himself. The fame that can be gained through that will be very great. Isn’t this an opportunity to put Dangga’s name above Shaolin?
But Yeon-myeong did not do that. In fact, she appeared to save Shaolin’s face even after the match was over. As a Zaun, she couldn’t help but be liked. Whether as a disciple of Shaolin or as a warrior.
Originally, the reason Shaolin tried to keep the Tang family in check was because there were some unclear points. The representative facts were that no one witnessed the decisive battle between Heuksaryeon leader Yoo Gil-jun and Amdokgeomryong Yeon Myeong, and that due to geographical conditions, the Tang family was cut off from Jeongdo Murim for a long period during the period of Heuksaryeon’s activities. There were concerns that he might be trying to strengthen the power of the Tang family by taking advantage of the turbulent times to unite the Jeongdo warriors in Sacheon, and the fact that he had a history of conflict with the Five Great Families since the days when he was part of the old faction may have played a role to some extent.
‘With this level of skill, he could have competed with Black Snake Runner.’
Jaune thought. If his swordsmanship skills are at this level, what level can he achieve in his sword skills and dragon poison skills, which were traditionally the strengths of the Tang family? The rumor that he had murdered Black Snake Lord was most likely true.
Also, judging from the fact that he cared about the reputation of Shaolin, an axis of the six factions, he did not seem to care about past conflicts. Contrary to what Hakun said, I also liked that he did not lose his polite attitude even though he had that level of skill.
Above all, he is someone who can shake the foundation of Shaolin martial arts. Jaun realized that there was nothing good to be gained from being hostile towards Yeon-de-myeong. Rather, the urgent task was to find out how it was possible to destroy the martial arts of Shaolin, which was a journey itself, without mobilizing the true energy of retrograde. Only then will we be able to make up for it.
“Even though you are young, you are already qualified to be a vassal. He is truly the Hongbok of martial arts, as he goes beyond his age and shows great consideration. Now that I think about it, I think it would be better to have a young talent like Siju lead the Jeong Cheonmaeng, rather than an old man like Nonap. Because in difficult times like these, we need youthful energy. As acknowledged by none other than Jaun Lee of Shaolin, please lead the team well in the future.”
That is why Jaun is now acknowledging Shaolin’s natural name while accepting the loss of Shaolin’s reputation. Recognition from Shaolin is recognition from the six factions, and this will help establish authority when Yeon-myeong becomes the leader of Jeongcheon. On the one hand, he accepts the outcome of the fight, and on the other hand, he owes his debt to Yeon-myeong in words.
—
“Thank you for your kind words, Ambassador.”
Yeon Myeong’s expression became strange. This is because I did not expect that Shaolin would give such full support. And of course she read Jaune’s expression and decided it was time to ask.
“By the way, please give me a life-sustaining donation.”
“You tell me.”
“Do you know about the cruise…?”
Jaune asked cautiously. Among the six factions, there were very few people who had proper knowledge about the tour. It was the principle of pilgrimage that could be said to be the essence of Taoist and Buddhist martial arts, but in order to truly realize it, one had to at least reach Hwagyeong. No, even among those who have reached Hwagyeong, there are very few who can be said to have followed the journey perfectly. Therefore, Jaune asked right here and there. He had over 1,000 spectators listening, but he was asking questions and answers that they could not understand.
Of course, there was a possibility that Yeon Myeong did not know about the tour. But Jaune was sure that no matter what he was asking, he would know. Shaolin martial arts is not soft enough to be destroyed by those who cannot penetrate its essence.
“You are asking about the law of destruction. Do-Bul (Buddha) Muhak-ui.”
As expected, just as Jaun had guessed, Yeon Myeong responded with an expression of understanding as soon as she heard it. Now that the Diamond Buddha God has been destroyed, you might want to know the method. If you know the law of destruction, you can supplement your martial arts or at least come up with a countermeasure. Then, Shaolin martial arts might be able to develop further. Instead of giving up now, he made a choice for Shaolin’s future. As for Zaun.
Jaun nodded in silence, and the loud crowd suddenly stopped breathing. After all, isn’t this a question and answer between experts who have reached a world-class level? If you keep it in your heart, one day it may become the starting point and enlightenment will come. I have no choice but to focus.
In particular, the natural name of Amdokgeomryong directly mentioned ‘the law of destruction of Taoist Buddhism and Muhak’. So, does this mean that it is a law of destruction not only for Shaolin’s Vajra Buddha but also for the martial arts of other six schools? Shock was also written on the faces of Okyang of the Hwasan faction and Hakun of the Jongnam faction.
‘What should I do!’
Yeon Myeong thought for a moment. There is no need to tell them about the law of destruction. Perhaps Jaun is not sure that he will be able to answer the question of how he destroyed the Diamond Buddha in just a few words. However, I was curious about Yeon Myeong, who had already reached the state of swordsmanship and was able to implement a sword path that was free from common sense. Will Yukpa be able to overcome the sword that cuts off his journey? I thought it would be fun if I could do it. Perhaps there is another level above this level we are currently on.
Time has passed in an instant. However, it must have felt like an eon to everyone who was just staring at Yeon Man-myeong’s mouth.
Finally, Yan Ming’s lips slowly parted.
“Escape, attachment, and defeat.”
This is the essence of the destruction of Taoist Buddhism and Muhak. After saying that, he walked away and left the hall.
Zhuge Changxin declared that the winner of Bimu was the natural leader and tried to leave the place, but everyone did not move for a long time as they pondered the meaning of Dark Poison Sword Dragon’s words.
And among them, there was a man whose eyes were particularly shining.
…..Did you just say defeat?’
Mo Yong-hui muttered to himself, barely able to control his breathing from becoming more difficult due to excitement. I never thought I would hear about defeat here in Sacheon, especially from the mouth of a Tang Dynasty figure.
Mo Yong-hwi was a direct blood relative of the extinct Mo Yong family. On the day his family was exterminated by Ma Gwang-cheon, he was fortunate enough to have other business and was away from Liaoning. Then, when he heard the news that his family was completely ruined by Ma Gwang-cheon, he headed to Sacheon as if running away. He never thought of returning to his family. This was because he knew that there were people everywhere who recognized his face as a direct descendant of the Mo Yong family, and because Ma Gwang-cheon also had his own intelligence organization, he had the pursuit in mind.
The magic power – especially Demon Gwangcheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok – was an enemy to him who could not live under the same sky. Not only was he exterminated this time, but many of his blood relatives were killed by him ten years ago as well. Mo Yong-hwi lost both his parents at that time. The family known as the Five Great Families suffered a blow that was close to extinction, and in fact, the only reason they were able to avoid annihilation at that time was entirely because Nae Nae-hyeok attacked alone. No matter how excellent his military skills were, he probably did not have enough hands to catch and kill all those who were scattered in all directions while spreading divine law.
At the time, people in the world did not have much of a question about Nae Yeon-hyeok’s sudden move to Liaoning. He was originally known for his eccentricity, and it was only known that when he happened to see the Moyonga’s wife while passing by on the street, he visited the Moyonga in person and proposed a marriage, saying that it was too far to send a hawk.
But there was a hidden truth there.
The discovery of the Tomb of the Sword Demon—that was the cause of the misfortune that befell the Moyong family. A long time ago, there was a swordsman of unknown origin who became famous. A peerless swordsman who created his own unique sword technique and single-handedly killed Heupseong Samhyeol, who was unable to use his skills even in the old faction. People in the world called him the Sword Demon.
However, even if they did not know anywhere else, they knew the origin of the Sword Demon at least in Moyongga. His identity was none other than the illegitimate son of the Moyong family. Although he created his own swordsmanship, it was easy to guess that the basis of his martial arts was the Moyongga swordsmanship. The Moyong family believed that the Sword Demon’s martial arts advanced the family’s swordsmanship, and they have been searching for his traces for over a hundred years.
And finally, I found the Tomb of the Sword Demon on a mountainside. For fear of information leaking out, only direct blood relatives were mobilized to collect the Sword Demon’s relics. Perhaps because so many years had passed, it was not perfect, but it was certain that it was the martial arts of a sword demon. Since there was information about the dragon power lag, it was a fact that was not well known in the world that the sword demon was born with a unique constitution called the dragon power lag.
After discovering the Sword Demon’s martial arts, the head of the family declared that he would pass on the position of head of the family to someone who properly masters the Sword Demon’s martial arts. It was at that time that Mo Yong-hwi learned about the power of defeat. Because the most important part in using the martial arts of a sword demon was the strength.
However, as if he had caught the scent, not long after that, Demon Lord Yeon Yeon-hyeok appeared and threatened to hand over the Sword Demon’s martial arts along with a marriage proposal. While speaking of the extinction of the world.
It’s not that they weren’t aware of Ma Gwang-cheon’s movements, but because Yeon Jeong-hyeok moved alone, which was unusual, the family was unable to prepare for it. However, he couldn’t give in because he was afraid of just one Demon Lord. Isn’t there a name for Mo Yong?
In the end, it was a set order for a fight to break out. To be honest, he probably thought that if the entire family rushed in, he might be able to do something about at least one of Hwa-gyeong’s warriors.
However, the military force that reached the point of destruction was far beyond imagination. Everyone resisted fiercely, risking their lives to join forces, but they were unable to withstand the power that was said to be exclusive to those who reached the realm of peace, so the family head and other elders of the family lost their lives in vain. Although I couldn’t understand why I had to suffer so helplessly because my family didn’t have a single master of the flower world, I was shaken.
When Mo Yong-hwi returned, having barely escaped with his life, so many members of the family had already died that it was impossible for them to recover. Nae Yeon-hyeok did not touch any of the wealth or treasures, but only took the relics of the Sword Demon. His military education.
Somehow, the remaining ones tried to raise the family, but the time passed was so easily met with extinction.
Mo Yong-hwi learned the art of defeat and knew that his life was short. The Sword Demon was clearly warning. It is said that if a person who is not physically challenged enters the method of defeat and defeat, he or she will inevitably die young. Even if it wasn’t a warning, Mo Yong-hwi could feel it. The energy that weakens your body every moment.
Mo Yong-hwi wanted to devote the rest of his life solely to defeating the demonic power. That was why, unlike the Moyong family, he committed himself to the Jeongcheon League founded by the Tang family, which had made a comeback.
However, in the fight to determine the leader, while I was shocked at Yeon Myeong’s victory over Jaun, I heard something completely unexpected.
The essence of the destruction of Dobul, Muhak,
It’s none other than power.
