◈ Apostolic Monk (2)
“If the reason you cut your hair is to get rid of the agony of trying to make your face visible to others. Shouldn’t all the hair on your face be shaved off?”
Mujin, who says that, is Hyeongong and Hyeoncheon. And I looked at the three Hyeon-gwangs in turn.
To be precise, the white beards and long, unkempt eyebrows that the three of them grew as if they were earning money.
“Hehehe. What should we do? Priest of Law Wonju. “I have no intention of cutting down on the main monk.”
And Hyeon-gwang looked at Hyeon-gong, stroking his long white beard as if it was very natural.
When King Hyeon-gong is conflicted between the beard he has grown for decades and his role as the Lord of the Law.
Mujin quietly added.
“If you look at the folding screen of the founder, Master Bodhidharma, he only shaved the top of his head. The sides and back of the head. And he had grown eyebrows and a beard. In the end, the only thing he can do is cut off ties with the secular world. “What is so important about appearance?”
Hearing Mujin’s words, Hyeongong glanced at Mujin.
What is the reason for all wise men to grow beards in the first place? This was because the founder, Bodhidharma, also grew a beard.
From that perspective, Mujin’s hairstyle was not much different from Bodhidharma Master’s.
Master Bodhidharma shaved only the top of his head.
Mujin didn’t shave his head completely, but he shaved the sides and back of his head closely and had the character 卍 (卍) sewn on them.
Both of them had hairstyles that did not care about the world’s gaze.
“Hmm. “As long as you don’t want your hair to grow any longer, I will allow it.”
In the end, Hyeongong, who could not give up his beard, had no choice but to give up Mujin’s hairstyle.
It was Mujin who was approved by Law Wonju for the two-block mohawk scratch hair.

Early morning the next day. Time for the three great disciples to train their bodies at Arhat Hall.
“W-Mujin? “What was that head?”
Beopgang asked, stuttering like a broken soldier toy. In fact, I just asked a question on behalf of everyone. All the second and third great disciples in the training hall, as well as Hyejeong, were looking at Mujin’s head.
“ah. Didn’t the monk Beopwonju tell you this? “This is the head that has been approved by the monk Beopwonju.”
“… … “What did Sajo say?”
Beopgang thought about the Hyeongong of the Sajo that he knew.
“It seems like it’s a miracle that you’re alive, let alone given permission?”
The moment it was discovered, it seemed as though the entire head had been burned by the brain kidney.
Mu-jin once again explained his logic to Beop-gang, who was completely distrustful.
Anyway, the second generation disciples, the third generation disciples, and Hyejeong were all listening, so I decided to end the explanation this time.
“Hmm. So, are you saying that it is important to break ties with the secular world and express your conversion to Buddhism?”
“That’s right.”
“You said that… … Are you saying that Lord Hyeongong accepted it?”
“That’s right.”
Because he omitted the mention of threatening with his beard and eyebrows, the lecture still received a shocked response.
“okay. If that is what Sajo means, then it must be so.”
However, it is impossible to argue with the judgment of Sajo, the head of the Torah Institute.
In the end, when Beopgang accepted Mujin’s hairstyle, all the two and three great disciples around him could not help but shake their heads.
‘There was a method like that!’
Among them, there were some of the three great disciples who were greatly impressed by Mujin’s hairstyle.
The three great disciples were about the age of middle or high school students in modern times, and some of them were still suffering from middle school illness.
For such children, Mujin’s unique hair was enough to provide strange inspiration.
Among them was Mugung, the heaviest of the three great disciples.
‘Will Sajo really give permission?’
Mugung is a thought that is heavy and silent. As she thought of Hye Dam, she trembled in a way that was unbecoming of her size.
However, maybe it was because the second year of middle school illness was stronger than the fear of King Sajo?
‘okay! All you have to do is memorize the logic that Mujin used to persuade Lord Beopwon! I’m also trying to persuade Sajo!’
Mugung smiled broadly as he imagined himself persuading King Sajo with words.
‘What hairstyle should I try?’
He hadn’t even started persuading him yet, and he was just letting his imagination run wild.
And besides Mugung, there were three great disciples with similar smiles all over the training hall.
However, Mujin was not at all interested in what effect his brain had on his fellow members of Shaolin.
There was something in the training ground that caught Mujin’s eye, so there was no time to worry about such trivial things.
“Oooooh!!”
While Mujin was trapped in a cave with a head wall for a month. The exercise equipment that had been requested from Nahandang leader Hyeonseong had been prepared.
As always, Mujin first warmed up with muscle lengthening surgery. I started exercising in earnest.
Mugung, Mu-gyeong, and Mu-hyul, who had suddenly become curious, were next to Mu-jin.
“Mujin! “What does this thing do?”
“I brought it into the training center a few days ago, but the head monk of Nahandang said he didn’t know how to use it.”
To Muyul and Mukyung’s questions, Mujin smiled and answered.
“What is it? tire. No, it’s a rubber wheel.”
Of course, since this is a world without cars, it didn’t exactly mean ‘tires’.
It was an object made by forming steel into a wheel shape and then melting and attaching natural rubber on top.
After answering, Mujin bent his waist and lower body as if to demonstrate, grabbed the bottom of the sanggyoryun with his hands, and lifted it up with all his strength.
“Tsk!”
Mu-jin, who lifted the huge Sanggyo-ryun, held on to the end and carefully let go.
thud!

Sanggyoryun, who boasted considerable weight, fell back to the floor of the training ground, making a heavy sound.
“I guess it weighs roughly 250 pounds (150 kg)?”
“Two hundred and fifty pounds!?”
As Mujin muttered with a satisfied smile at the weight, Mukyung, who was watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise.
“joy. I can lift a steel bar weighing 250 pounds. “I think that would be more difficult.”
Mujin laughed at Mugung’s bravado and answered.
“If you’re going to lift it once or twice, you shouldn’t do this exercise.”
Mujin lifted Sanggyoryun again and took one lap.
“Keep rolling like this and go around the training ground.”
What Mujin was doing was an exercise commonly called a tire flip.
“Unlike the steel bar, you have to use all your body strength to lift this one. It’s a full body workout. Moreover, the shape is wide and round, so the weight balance fluctuates every time you lift it, right? So the distribution of power also changes every time. “There’s nothing else like this to train your entire body’s muscles and power distribution.”
Tire flips were not an exercise that carefully trained each specific muscle. Instead, it was an excellent full-body exercise.
“Whoa.”
After giving his explanation to the trio, Mujin continued to walk out of the training hall, turning over his head.
After taking a walk around the training ground, sweat was pouring down Mujin’s body like rain.
“ruler. You said it looked easy, right? “You listen to it this time.”
“joy. “You think I can’t do it?”
Mugung, who still had the will to compete with Mujin, began to lift Sanggyoryun after Mujin.
“If you get caught using an inner skill, you’ll get 10 slaps on the back of your head.”
“You think I’m such a vile person!?”
As if his natural size and strength were not going anywhere, he was a Mugung who was able to answer by lifting a 250-geun long Sanggyoryun in one go.
Mujin, who watched the scene for a moment, turned and headed somewhere.
It wasn’t for relaxation. On the contrary, it was to prevent the body heat from subsiding while resting.
Where he headed, an iron bar stood tall.
It was a strange size to be called an ‘iron bar’. It was one foot (approximately 3m) and four feet tall.
Mujin used a leather belt and rope to hang a weight disc on his waist. After grasping the rope hanging in the center of the high iron bar with both hands.
“Tsk!”
I started climbing the rope using the grip strength of both hands and the strength of my arms.
“wow! It’s gonna be fun!!”
Muhyul, who was watching the scene from below, had his eyes shining brightly.
Perhaps because he was like a monkey, he seemed interested in rope climbing.
Either way, Mujin climbed up the rope, moving both hands alternately.
Usually, gloves were worn for rope climbing exercises. If you endure gravity with your hand grip and the friction of the rope, you are likely to get abrasions or burns on your hands.
However, Mujin, who had already started learning Cheolposam more than a year ago, had no major problems even with his bare hands. This despite having a weight disc around his waist.
Mujin climbed the rope and reached the end of the bar, but instead of going straight down, he hung on to the bar.
In that state, lift your legs and make your body into a ‘乚’ shape, then twist your upper and lower body left and right using your abdominal and core strength.
After sufficiently tormenting my abs and core, I finished by repeating pull-ups a few times and then came back down to the ground using the rope.
“Whoa.”
thud.
As I took a deep breath and untied the weight disc tied to my leather belt, my body felt much lighter.
“Muhyul, do you want to try it too?”
“Yep!”
“You lack a little strength, so don’t tie this up and just climb up bare-body will be enough.”
As soon as Mujin said those words, Muyul suddenly started climbing the rope.
It was truly a monkey-like movement.
‘Are there any later volumes other than the crane, four, pyo, title, and dragon?’
If so, it would be perfect for Muyul.
‘Or should I make it myself later?’
The problem was that he was a stone-faced person, but I felt like if he just acted as he wanted, he would end up in second place.
Mu-jin, who thought of Mu-yul using the latter in his head and smiled once, started moving again.
In addition to the iron bar and sanggyorun, many newly acquired tools remained.
And those items generally had similar characteristics.
The characteristic is that they are tools that are commonly seen in CrossFit rather than gyms.
‘Anyway, I need to increase the size of my muscles, because it will only hinder my ability to use martial arts.’
Thanks to training over the past two years, both flexibility and strength are on track.
That’s why Mujin started CrossFit, a functional training program that performs a variety of movements, instead of fitness, which specializes in increasing muscle size.
* * *
A few days later.
A pavilion located in Shaolin Temple.
Hyedam, who boasted a size as big as the statue of the Four Heavenly Kings, thrust his sword at Mugung, his eldest grandson, without even saying a word.
It didn’t mean to commit suicide. This meant that it was time to cut my hair.
gulp.
Mugungi, who was looking at the figure of King Sajo pointing his sword at her without saying a word, swallowed his dry saliva once and carefully opened his mouth.
“Sajo. “Why do we shave our heads?”
Hyedam slightly raised his eyebrows at that random nonsense. Of course, her mouth was still tightly shut.
Mugung, who gained courage from that, started talking excitedly. A few days ago, she was talking about the bizarre logic that Mujin had told her about.
“When monks shave their heads, they promise to cut themselves off from the world! So, if you can just remember that you have converted to Buddhism, there is no need to shave your head! For example… … .”
Was it because of the idea of refuting Hyedam, a school of thought, for the first time? His mouth moved constantly.
I did not see Mugung completely absorbed in his own logic (which, of course, was what he heard from Mujin). The fact that a vein was rising on the silent Hyedam’s forehead.
On Mugung’s behalf, Mugung’s teacher Beophwiman, who was next to him, realized his teacher’s anger and sighed.
“Beophui.”
at that time. Hye-dam, who had kept her mouth shut, suddenly called out her name.
“Yes, Master!”
“Catch it.”
“yes!”
Beop-hwi, who answered in a tone full of military spirit, approached behind Mugung, who was still fluttering his mouth in a way that was not appropriate for his size.
“S-Master!?”
The limbs of Mugung were tied up.
Mugung, who came to her senses only after her limbs were tied, saw Hyedam reaching out for her head with an indifferent expression.
“Hey, hey.”
As the blade of the hand, brimming with red-hot energy, approached his head, Mugung let out a strange scream.
