◈ Proof (2)
Since he couldn’t say his true feelings openly, Mujin answered by pointing to Ouyangpae.
“Since the goal is to summon Geum Yang-hwi anyway, wouldn’t it be better for someone who knows him well to write the letter? First of all, since this is a letter delivered in the name of the Beast Palace, they will not throw it away without reading it.”
Ouyangpae, who was trying to interpret Mujin’s words, expressed doubt after hearing what he said.
“I have never met Geum Yang-hwi. “What do you think I know about him that makes you write to me?”
To Ooyangpae’s question, Mujin answered as if it were obvious.
“All you have to do is send it in accordance with the teachings of the Demonic Cult. “It is something that anyone who believes in the doctrines of the Demonic Cult can never refuse.”
“But what if it doesn’t come out?”
“Tsk. It’s the opposite. If he still doesn’t come out, that means he’s not a faithful believer but a simple apostate, right? “It means we don’t even have to meet him.”
“!!!”
Ouyangpae nodded, saying that the words hit the nail on the head.
* * *
Around the time Mujin and the Jeokhodan entered the Beast Palace. The heart of Odokmun, located in northeastern South Manchuria.
“You mean they joined hands with the Beast Palace?”
A man called Oh Dae-ju in Sincheon. In response to Hwang Gon’s question, the head of the Odok Gate smiled wickedly and nodded.
“Hehehe. “That’s right.”
“How did you get that information?”
In response to Hwang Gon’s question, which was highly doubtful as the great lord of Shincheon, Munju of the Five Readings answered with a dark smile.
“This is the information I received from Sejak, who was sent to Maengdon in advance to understand the situation. If you don’t trust me, try sending someone to Maengdon right now. “Everyone in the area saw the argument as the room exploded and a fight broke out.”
Hwang Gon stroked his beard as he explained the five readings and sentences. It was a kind of habit that came out when I was lost in thought.
When Hwang Gon was inferring how things happened this way. Oh Dok-munju smiled and said with a satisfied expression.
“Hehehe. It seems that the heavens have favored our Odogmun. Those stupid Sun Signs and Beast Signs started fighting on their own. “At first, I thought this might all have been prepared by the Hwanggon Grand Council.”
It was quite misleading.
Leaking information to the Sun Palace that the Red Tigers were targeting them was also something Hwang Gon had prepared.
However, Hwang Gon did not expect that the Beast Palace and the Sun Palace would be in conflict, or that the Red Tigers would join hands with the Beast Palace in the first place.
The original plan prepared by Hwang Kun and Wu Dukmun was simply to have the Red Tigers and the Sun Palace fight.
While the Red Tigers were shaking their sunbows. Oh Dok-mun planned to attack the Beast Palace.
Since it was Odokmun who had already raised military funds through exchanges with Jeomchang, developed various poisons, and hired ronin, he calculated that if the forces of Hwanggon gave a little help, he could easily devour the Beast Palace.
It’s just that the sun sign tried to take control of the fishermen’s territory, so they didn’t start an all-out war.
Meanwhile, a letter arrived at Hwang Gon. This is from a person from Shincheon who has delved deeply into the Church of the Heavenly Demon.
They wanted to deal with a certain later index that would later become the biggest obstacle in swallowing up the Heavenly Demon Church.
Based on the information they sent, Hwang Gon came up with a plan.
At the same time as dealing with the Jeokhodan and Ouyangpae, which are the goals of those who have delved into the Heavenly Demon Church, there is also a great plan that will allow the Five Poison Gates to devour the Beast Palace.
‘But how did the Red Tigers and the Beast Palace become connected?’
Thanks to this, the Beast Sign and the Sun Sign entered into an all-out war, which was definitely a good thing for Oh Dok-moon.
‘I guess we’ll have to concentrate Boncheon’s power on Namman for a while.’
Hwang Gon, who was very cautious, was suspicious that the plan was going differently than expected.
That’s why this matter was so important.
As the great lord of Xincheon in charge of Nanman and Yunnan, it was the most important starting point for taking control of this area.
* * *
In the end, Ooyangpae wrote a letter to send to Geumyanghwi according to Mujin’s suggestion.
Mujin asked as he looked at the letter written in Nanmang language, which looked more like a painting than a letter.
“What did you write?”
“It’s a story about our school’s doctrine. As an outsider, you will not be able to sympathize or understand if you listen. “There’s no need to know.”
Mujin shrugged his shoulders and answered Ooyangpae’s answer.
“As for the doctrine of the Demonic Cult, I don’t know the details, but wasn’t it roughly like that? Why does the Heavenly Demon have to lead the poor people? The content is that greater evil can actually control evil better. Lastly, they will be discussing how the Heavenly Demon that will arrive in the future will save the people.”
Mujin had never read the Demon Cult’s doctrine, but he had read several conversations between the characters of the Heavenly Demon Cult in the first part of the novel, so he knew the general outlines.
Just because it follows the law of strong self-respect, the Demonic Cult does not mean that it is an insane group.
If we were to be specific, the justification for prioritizing the law of strong self-respect was written into the doctrine.
The reason why the Heavenly Demon had to lead the civilians was because the weak could not protect them from external attacks.
And the reason why it had to be the Heavenly Demon was because evil is better at catching evil.
Is it not justice to only focus on justification and fail to protect the civilians?
Lastly, the salvation method that the Heavenly Demon that will arrive in the future was, if we were to be honest, the code of conduct that a person who became a religious leader should show.
The meaning was not to destroy all the Heavenly Demons, but to save the civilians with their strong power.
Furthermore, the Demons, the servants of the Heavenly Demon, also had to follow the rules.
‘hmm. It seemed cool when I was young, but now that I think about it, it’s a seriously sick catechism.’
Punishing evil with evil. It felt like a black flame dragon would grow from my arm.
In any case, the Church of the Heavenly Demon was able to function as a religion because it had its own sound doctrine.
If the doctrine is that a strong man can have everything and do as he pleases, then does it make sense for it to be spread as a ‘religion’ to the general public?
When Mu-jin pointed out the doctrines of the Demonic Cult in a vague but accurate way, Ouyang-pae showed interest.
“A Shaolin monk understands our doctrine. Oh, was he a person who wanted to join the church?”
“… … “I’m not interested in middle ear diseases.”
“Middle ear disease? “What disease is that?”
“That’s it. “What did you write in the letter?”
“hmm. Just as you said. When I mentioned the doctrine, I told them to come forward and prove it if they were proud of themselves. “If you are simply an apostate, we will punish you, and if you are spreading the doctrine abroad, we will return to your original state.”
Mujin nodded, ‘I see.’
“The letter has been delivered to the Sun Sign, and there are only a few days left until I meet him, so now I need to focus on treatment.”
“I was already thinking of doing that. “Whether things go well or badly, there is a high probability that we will fight at least once.”

After finishing the conversation, Ouyangpae handed over the letter he had written to the Beast Palace Lord.
And the next morning.
Mujin wanted to cover his face as he looked at the messenger of the Beast Palace, holding a letter with the Master of the Beast Palace’s seal and holding the flag of the Beast Palace in one hand.
That’s because the messenger was Surinya, who created Sadal as it is today.
‘shit. When it comes to messengers, it’s natural to entrust it to someone with quick feet, but you forgot this.’
They are so knowledgeable and quick on their feet that they were entrusted with their guidance.
If you think about it, there was no one more suited to the role of messenger than Xu Linya.
Except for that reckless snout.
‘no. Let’s think positively. To begin with, the guys in the Beast Palace are all incompetent. It makes no difference who goes.’
Mujin, who remembered the nature of the Beast Palace, realized that this was a meaningless worry.
For now, all I could do was hope that the sun sign had at least a little patience.
No matter who from the Beast Palace becomes the messenger, the reckless snout will be no different.
So, amidst countless worries and concerns, Su Linya left for the Sun Palace.
And Oyangpae began full-scale treatment.
To be exact, I was locked in my room, repeating the daily and nightly fortune-telling breakfast.
To recover from internal injuries and to refine the martial arts skills he learned during his fight with Mu-gyeong.
While Ouyang’s group leaves the door, members of the Jeokhodan stand guard and guard the room.
“Huh. Huh.”
Mujin has been wandering around for the past few days and has been focusing on ironing to make up for the lack of exercise.
And on the fourth day.
Su Lin Ya, who had left as a messenger, returned with a letter sent from the Sun Palace.
* * *
Seeing Su Linya return with the letter sent by the Sun Palace Lord, Mu Jin muttered that without even realizing it.
“hmm. Fortunately, the Sun Palace appears to be a very patient man.”
And it was Gooyangpae who translated the words by his side.
After hearing Ouyang Pai’s translation, Xu Linya snorted and shouted.
“joy. He was a man smaller than a flea on the inside! “If they let me stay in the Sun Palace, there would be a war right away, so they kicked me out and had me grow up outside!”
Mujin, who understood Su Linya’s words thanks to Ouyang Pae, nodded, ‘Indeed.’
‘He lacks patience, but he is a wise man.’
Even if she was a member of the Sun Palace, if Su Linya had spent a day in the Sun Palace, she would have turned her head.
The Beast Palace Lord asked Su Linya, as if she was not interested in their trivial conversation.
“joy! As expected of timid Sun sign guys! So, what did they say?”
Instead of answering directly, Su Linya held out the letter she had received from the Sun Palace Lord.
The Master of the Beast Palace glanced at the letter and threw it away as if it was a hassle.
“Tsk. “After all, they are the ones who make simple words unnecessarily difficult.”
“Is that because it says something?”
In response to Mujin’s question, the beast princess snorted and wriggled her pectoralis major muscles.
“Three days later, we will meet at Daimaesarung (多伊梅沙龙, ดอยแม่สลอง) and decide whether to fight or not.”
After hearing the Beast Palace Lord’s concise answer, Mujin’s eyes naturally turned to the book that had fallen on the floor.
‘… … That long article was reduced to just one sentence?’
The letter was filled with picturesque writing.
* * *
next day.
Mujin and the Jeokhodan. And about two hundred of the beast palace lord and beast palace warriors left the beast palace together.
Looking at the number of people alone, it felt like they were moving for war rather than negotiation.
However, it did not mean that they had already moved to ambush the agreed upon location.
The reason we left so early even though there were still two days left was because the meeting place was quite far away.
From what I heard, the place called Daimaesarung is a wide mountain range located about halfway between the Beast Palace and the Sun Palace, and is located further south than the Maengdon village we went to before.
Even Sulinya, who was quick on his feet in the Beast Palace, was unable to cover the distance in one day, so he left two days early.
However, as Mujin left the Beast Palace, he felt puzzled as he was a former soldier.
‘What are you planning to do with supplies?’
A total of 250 people had to travel a distance of more than a day.
But no matter how I looked, I couldn’t see any troops for supply.
As expected, everyone was just carrying their own weapons to use in battle.
‘But it doesn’t seem like he wants to stop by the village…’ … .’
Looking at the behavior of the personnel, it seemed difficult to pass through a place like a village.
That’s right too.
Crrrrr.
Wow.
Kiyuuu~
The fact that there were two hundred Beast Palace warriors meant that there were as many as two hundred animals accompanying them.
Among them, there were small ones like monkeys and birds, but there were also many carnivores like bears and cheetahs. Above all.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. It seems like he’s excited because it’s been a while since he went out. Mankre.”
A huge dragon that is ten inches long. Mankre was also there.
I thought that if I led them to a village where ordinary people lived, the village would be completely wiped out.
In the midst of this, how are they going to take care of alternative supplies? Mujin’s doubts could be answered after about two visits.
Thanks to the Beast Palace’s cry, which stopped the movement for two hours.
“After one hour, we will gather here again and depart! “Make sure everyone prepares their own food!”
“???”
Are you telling me to prepare food because where is the food?
While Mujin was thinking about this. The two hundred warriors of the Beast Palace quickly scattered in all directions.
And soon, for a moment, noisy sounds could be heard from all over the jungle.
The warriors who had been scattered in all directions began to return, each carrying in their hands the animals they had hunted and various plants and fruits they had gathered from the jungle.
“ah… … Was it locally sourced?”
While Mujin muttered as if it was absurd.
“Bring food for Master Xiao to eat!”
“Show them the field fighting skills of the Great Heavenly Demon Church Armed Forces!”
Likewise, the members of the Red Tiger Corps, who had finally realized the situation, began to attack in all directions.
Thinking that the food nearby might run out like this, Mujin called his group, but for some reason, Muhyul didn’t come.
“But, where has Muyul gone?”
In response to Mujin’s question, Mugung and Mugyeong pointed somewhere.
Ukki!
“Ringling! “It’s delicious, right~?”
“@#[email protected]#$”
“Are you giving this to us too? thank you!”
“!##$#@$#@”
There, Muhyul, who had just returned from hunting with the Beast Palace warriors, was enjoying a meal while conversing with them using hand and foot gestures.
“That pathetic bastard!”
While they are appalled by Muhyul’s betrayal.
The members of the Red Tigers, who moved quickly, gathered around the Ouyang group one by one, taking care of animals and fruits.
“Well, please eat it. “Master Sujiao.”
The thing that stood out the most was the sight of Dan Dan-yun, who was the first to pick fruit and give it to Ouyang-pae.
The sight of him handing over the fruit with a slight blush, or the sight of Ouyangpae accepting it while clearing his throat, pretending not to notice, was so eye-watering that I couldn’t even look at it.
Meanwhile, the members of the Red Tigers who had been looking for food were gathering around the Guyang group and preparing food for the field one by one.
The Jeokhodan members, who felt the gaze of Mujin and his party, looked at them.
‘You can’t do this?’
‘Well, what do people who grew up in political factions know what to do?’
Although he didn’t say it out loud, it was a look in his eyes that somehow conveyed that meaning.
“… … Are we being ostracized by any chance?”
Did he at least hear Mujin’s muttering? Ouyang Pae, who had been treated very warmly by the Red Tiger members, suddenly spoke to them.
“If you don’t have enough food, how about eating this together?”
Ouyangpae asked with sincerity. It was an offer I couldn’t accept.
As expected, the glares from the members of the Red Tigers, including Dan Dan-yoon, were quite fierce.
“We’ll eat on our own, so don’t worry about it.”
Mu-jin, who was feeling sad and also had his pride hurt for some reason, rejected Ouyang-pae’s kindness and led Mugyeong and Mugung towards the bush.
“wait. Hey guys .. hey guys. “Even though I am like this, I am the one who hunted and ate meat in Songshan without the Shaolin elders secretly, this is it!”
Mu-gyeong sighed in response to Mu-jin’s angry cry.
“Mujin. “That’s not bragging.”
