Episode 210: The Poisonous Dangjoha (1)
Central Plains Sacheon Amisan
When the moon was rising in Cheongseong, Baekryosaetae, the head of the Amipa, was also sitting alone on the desk with a single candle lit, reading a book, and was lost in amazement.
It was the Jeongilsimgong that I had taken from Taegibang. As I read it carefully, I found it to be full of mysteries and extremely difficult to understand.
This is truly a great method of thought.
But that wasn't the only thing that surprised her.
“It’s not…… the complete version?”
This is because the first part of the book that dealt with composition seemed to have completely disappeared, making it impossible to understand.
“How……?”
Clearly, this was the only thing in Taekibang's arms. There was no way she could have hidden it in the short time until she met him at Amisan.
In an instant, her face darkened and her heart pounded.
“Surely…… you’re saying that Ma Si-ju was there from the beginning?”
There is no evidence anywhere that this method is the Jeongilsimgong. Therefore, it can only be said that it is entirely the fault of Cheongseong.
What if half of it falls into Cheongseong's hands?
Grave robbing is a distant memory, and they will try to act as if they own the book on the table, even going so far as to bring up their roots.
“Haha, you’re saying he won’t just back down? As expected from Ma Shiju. He really has a brain that I want. Of course…… he’s also dangerous.”
Baekryosae smiled bitterly with shining eyes.
I thought everything would be easy, but I realized too late that this was just the beginning.
“The four heavens will be noisy. Amitabha.”
Baekryosae recited Buddhist scriptures with his eyes closed.
Now that Ami and Cheongseong each have a piece of the puzzle, I will present my position without any hesitation.
One side was responsible for the Jeong Il-sim incident, while the other side was responsible for the grave robbery, and a huge amount of money was given to them.
However, given their relationship, it was clear that negotiations would be quite sluggish.
The most regrettable thing of all.
The only person who came to mind as the right person to resolve this issue was Mr. Ma.
*Central Plains Sichuan Chengdu
The next day. Taekibang was sighing and sipping his drink in the guest room.
Although it was something to be thankful to the Primordial Heavenly Lord for being able to live peacefully even after committing the great sin of grave robbery, my heart was not at ease.
This is because after a long meeting in Cheongseong, it was concluded that the responsibility would be placed on Amipa.
In other words, it was like the calm before the storm. So, if the person who caused this great trouble was at ease, how could he be human?
“Huh……. Then that’s what I’m doing. What am I doing properly?”
As Taekibang continued to make pitiful remarks, Suhanseong, who was sitting across from him, snatched the bottle of alcohol away from him in frustration and spat out his words.
“Four hundred. Don’t just drink like that. Tell me something. Who on earth told you that you were there? The one who sent the letter.”
In the first place, the beginning of this incident was when Taekibang found out the whereabouts of Jeong Il-sim.
The monks didn't seem to think this was important and just tried to make a fuss, but Suhanseong thought differently.
I believed that only by examining everything from the beginning could I gain the upper hand and clear the Taekibang of its unjust disgrace.
But.
"I don't know."
Taekibang turned his head and spat out words as if to tell people not to pay attention.
“Are you really going to do this? You heard me say you were there. I heard it clearly.”
“Yeah, I don’t know.”
“Four hundred!”
“I can’t say it. I can’t even if I die.”
“Why? Can’t you do it for me? I’m really upset.”
“Han Seong-ah. Why must I be like this? I made a promise with that man, on the honorable name of my master. I will never look for him in Cheongseong again.”
"yes?"
“So don’t ask. Just give it to me.”
Taekibang snatched the bottle of wine again and poured it into his glass until it overflowed.
It seemed as if Mr. Ma's words were ringing in my ears.
'I hope that once this is over, there will be no more calls for me from Cheongseong.'
Who would have thought that something so easy could become so difficult?
Damn it! Taekibang reached out and picked up the glass along with the swear word.
At that moment, Suhanseong slammed the table with a horned expression.
The wine sloshed around in waves, almost overflowing, and the glass rose to eye level.
As soon as he slid his hand horizontally, the glass was caught between Suhanseong's index and middle fingers.
Gulp. Suhanseong poured the wine into his mouth without spilling a single drop, then put it down firmly and spoke firmly.
“Four hundred. This is a matter of honor for the monks. It may be a little embarrassing now, but would you, Master, just let that guy go? On the contrary, keeping quiet could be the way to harm him.”
“Even if you don’t know!”
“If you keep acting like this… I won’t see you again.”
“What. What!”
“I know that Sa-baek gives to those who are poor without others knowing, and that he alone takes care of the problems caused by lay disciples for fear of causing trouble for the monks. He also knows that he always keeps his promises. That’s why I respected Sa-baek and followed him even when others pointed fingers at him.”
“Why, why are you suddenly talking about that……”
“But this is not it. It’s not something that can be hidden. So…… If you’re not going to see me again, then tell me. Who is that guy?”
At times like this, I would have taken my master out. When Suhanseong, who had always been weak, put down Kangsu, Taekibang licked his dry lips in embarrassment.
“Hey, I promised in Cheongseong that I wouldn’t come back again…….”
“Then does it have to be Cheongseong?”

“Huh? What…… is that…… right?”
“Then let’s go alone and find someone else. Don’t tell the monks.”
“Mask. What are you going to do when you get there?”
“I have to ask. Where on earth did it come from, and why was it in Amisan?”
“Arthur. That guy is no ordinary guy. I don’t know about the monks, but he’s no match for me.”
“Is that……about that?”
“That’s right. He wears a mask and uses very strange powers… Even his speech is slurred. Anyway, the two of us alone are dangerous.”
"hmm……."
Suhanseong tilted his head, drooling lightly.
It wasn't because I was scared. No matter how much Sa-baek was not recognized, he was still an elder of Cheongseong.
It was even more suspicious that a warrior of the highest level was scared by a nameless person.
"ah!"
At that moment, Taekibang clapped his hands and jumped up from his seat.
“Maybe it’s possible for him…?”
"yes?"
“Yes. It is possible. It is possible.”
“What are you talking about? Please explain it in simple terms.”
“Haha! That’s right. If it weren’t for Cheongseong, I could go there and ask what happened. It’s that easy!”
“Four hundred!”
Taekibang was startled by Suhanseong's scream, then smiled again and said.
“Let’s go meet him. Hey, maybe you’ll make a move.”
“Who else are you talking about?”
“There is, there is such a person. There is a very strong person! Hahaha! What are you doing? Hurry up and don’t move. Hurry up and get out!”
Haha! Taekibang burst into hearty laughter and ran out of the guest room.
Suhanseong also shook his head, sighed, and followed.
He probably doesn't even dream about it.
Where is Taekibang going?
Who do you want to meet next?
The destination is Guizhou Bulmunchon.
The target is a sleeping token.
That he is the Great Thousand-Year-Old Guyangryong.
*Central Plains Sichuan Chengdu
The crowds were still bustling. But the atmosphere was completely different. It was very grim.
“What are you looking at?”
“Look here. Don’t you think that you saw it first? It’s so shallow to start a fight out of the blue. Amitabha.”
“You’re causing trouble. If you’re looking for Buddha, you should just get out of here! This is where the Taoists of Cheongseong reside.”
“How can you be so rude? Not only did you rob the tombs, but you’re also trying to establish a territory in Chengdu? Ha, Chengdu is really tainted by the world.”
“What? But these Buddhist bastards.”
In an instant, the area in front of the guest house turned into a scene of chaos. The wooden chairs that had been set up outside began to fly around, and the number of people rolling around on the floor gradually increased.
It's hard to believe, but this has been a common sight for several days now.
The poster that Cheongseong and Ami put up was the origin.
It was a long text written in a fancy handwriting, but the last few lines were enough to grasp the situation.
【… … In Cheongseong, who attempted to steal the treasures of Amisan, please repent your mistake and give alms. Amitabha.
– Compensation for room manager's fee】
【… … How could the mind method of Cheongseong have remained in Amisan? How could it be that when his master went to find it, he was blocked by force. Where did the spirit of the Jeongpa go?
– Long-term compensation for the Umuja】
This was the position put forth by the two major sects.
One, that was enough.
Is war only when warriors draw their swords and clash with each other?
Many people in Sacheon who supported them were indignant, and it was natural for the conflict to boil over when only one side was believed and shouted.
In particular, the neutral city of Chengdu was the worst.
“Get those bastards out now!”
“Amitabha!”
The fight continued for a while, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly gathered.
And right then.
"conflict-!"
In the middle of the street that had become a mess, an old man shouted at me.
The gray beard that reaches down to his chest is as neat as a Taoist monk's, but his sharp eyes are as intense as a tiger's.
His trousers were tied with strings, indicating that he often went hiking, and he had a medicine pouch on his waist.
“Oh, sir……!”
"omg!"
Those who had been grumbling suddenly stopped their actions and bowed deeply.
Someone must have been here.
Gajuni, Daehyeop-ini. The only one who is called elder by everyone in Sacheon because he is shy.
One of the ten best days in the world.
It was a procession under the leadership of the Supreme Master of the Sacheon Tang Gate, Tang Dynasty.
“What the hell are they doing?!”
It is so natural to suddenly raise your voice and hit someone in the face.
“I…… that…….”
“Can’t you just tell the truth?”
Those who had been hesitating flinched at the shouting and stated their positions.
I thought it was an opportunity so I talked to my heart's content.
After a long conversation between the two sides, Dangjo frowned.
“Is that what Baekryo and Umuja said?”
It was only yesterday that we were working hard to stop the Sadoyeon that was looming over Sacheon, relying on each other's backs and shedding blood, sweat, and tears.
The heads of the old guard are fighting among themselves, saying that they have overcome the crisis.
“Your Majesty, I beg you! Please distinguish right from wrong!”
“I beg you!”
The people of Chengdu cried out in an outcry.
Who is the eldest adult in Sacheon?
It's so poisonous.
Everyone had no doubt that he would solve this situation.
As everyone's eyes filled with hope, Dang Jo-ha said firmly and set out.
“There is no discord in Sacheon.”
Did he know that his footsteps, which had been heading east where the Tang Gate was, had changed to trudging north where Cheongseong was?
In the blue sky shot by Ma Cheon So.
The last of the three great schools of Sacheon.
The Tang clan joined.
*Central Plains Sichuan Chengdu Haiwu Pavilion
He is the supreme leader of the Sacheondang family and a master of the ten best martial arts in the world who has achieved the realm of Hwagyeong.
Now, the era of the Three Heavenly Kings and the Ten Heavenly Kings has come to an end and the era of the Two Gods, Seven Kings, and Eight Dragons has risen, but Nobu is still full of energy and wanders around the Central Plains.
He likes to meddle, and is a master at destroying family trees, who can become friends or enemies if they get along regardless of the subject.
Because of that, he is quite a headache even in the Murim Alliance.
It was a story about the Dokjeol Dangjoha.
“It seems like you went straight to Cheongseong after hearing the news.”
Mo Yong-hui said as he burned the letter with black flames.
“That must be true. If I had heard that, I wouldn’t have just sat there and watched.”
“I guess we should be thankful that Pyeongsan is closed.”
“Even if it weren’t for that, nothing would have changed.”
Ma Cheon-so simply responds indifferently, holding a steaming cup of tea.
Intervention under the Tang Dynasty was something that was not expected, but was also something that was greatly desired.
It was difficult to find the right person to achieve the goal, but considering that he was the grandfather of Dang Pyeong-san, a close friend and a member of the Fengryong Five Stars, he did not want to face such a situation again.
In particular, the relationship between Dang Jo-ha and Ma Cheon-so was even more special.
“He loved you more than Pyeongsan. He said that it would be difficult to take you as his disciple, so he would become sworn brothers with your father. Thanks to that, the Murim Alliance was turned upside down. Do you remember?”
Ma Cheon-so sipped his tea and stared into the distance.
Do you remember? Of course I do.
It was an incident that almost made me lose my friend in Dangpyeongsan Mountain.
Although countless Myungsuks rolled up their sleeves and stopped them, leaving behind memories that can only be laughed at, that was the beginning of the relationship between Ma Cheon-so and Dang Jo-ha.
He followed me around for a long time, saying that since he couldn't do martial arts, he would at least teach me medicine.
Yes, the one who taught medicine to Ma Cheon-so was none other than Dang Jo.
