Episode 424 Have you been to the sea?
I didn’t know that I would stand up for my religious leader.
In fact, if you exchange wills, fight, and even defend the law, it means that you trust the other person regardless of whether you are an enemy or an ally.
That was even more absurd to me.
Because people’s affairs are generally unpredictable.
The leader must have been seriously injured, so he stayed up all night eating breakfast. He had no choice but to build a bonfire and wait for the lucky breakfast to be over.
While I was looking at the campfire, several questions came to mind to ask the leader, but I later narrowed them down to one.
In the meantime, the cult leader’s complexion changed five times with a time difference. When a magic attack goes wrong, does it take longer to recover? Considering that the stronger the martial arts, the greater the aftereffects of the magic attack, I thought that it would have been difficult for the cult leader to remain sane.
Is this why I practiced closing the tube so often in my past life?
He seemed like a person who would fall into a coin trap if he got a little greedy. It occurred to me that maybe because he was learning such martial arts, he lived his life with extremely minimal joys and sorrows.
While waiting for the sect leader’s fortune-telling breakfast, I also burned a piece of heavenly jade.
The bonfire burned, the heavenly prison burned, and time burned.
The leader was recovering, but it was time for me to become stronger. In fact, once I entered the realm of the Golden Orb, it didn’t matter how strong the leader became.
We competed all night long, even in our posture and mentality for breakfast.
The gray-haired religious leader quietly opened his eyes at dawn and looked at me. I said after looking at the religious leader’s expression.
“Congratulations.”
It seems that another achievement was achieved by taking advantage of the crisis.
The leader nodded without showing any sign of joy.
“I wondered what the warmth was and it turned out to be a bonfire.”
“Sir, I have something to ask.”
“Say it.”
“When I saw you at the Blood Night Palace, why did you keep me alive? “It would have been enough to kill him.”
The religious leader answered.
“It’s not easy to find trustworthy people in life.”
“hmm.”
“The Sword Demon was a trustworthy man. If I were to choose one more man like the Sword Demon, it would be Elder Heo. You were holding Elder Heo’s sword at that time. If Elder Heo and the Sword Demon were expecting something from you, I had no reason to kill them. “I was planning to watch and see what you two expected from you.”
It was only after listening to the religious leader that I realized why I was alive.
“In the end, I didn’t fight alone.”
“Is that how you interpret it?”
“Isn’t that right? “If I were alone, it would have been a fight I couldn’t handle.”
“You’re right, even I would have had a hard time becoming a religious leader without Elder Heo.”
The leader and I didn’t become this strong because we were each better off.
“How was your eldest brother at school?”
“What is certain is that he was born as a candidate for successor and achieved a task as difficult as becoming a religious leader. “That’s what happens when he comes in as a slave and ascends to the throne of Gwangmyeong.”
In summary, it was very difficult for this man to become the leader of a religious cult. It seems that the process of becoming Gwangmyeongjwasa for the eldest brother was also very rough. Looking at it that way, it seems clear that the religious leader has a tendency to acknowledge the strong. Of course, the scope of the strongman was not limited to martial arts.
I nodded and then asked.
“Would you like to come down now?”
“let’s go.”
After extinguishing the bonfire with my foot, I went down the volcano with the leader. Strangely enough, perhaps because of his gray hair, he looked even more like a religious leader now.
By the time we arrived at the plum market, it was already morning, so all eyes were on us as we suddenly appeared. Everyone was surprised by the leader’s gray hair, and they also seemed surprised that the two of us came back in perfect condition.
Everyone would be curious about whether they would win or lose, but they didn’t bother to open their mouths. Maehwajangju greeted us two first.
“Masters, welcome. We have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Meanwhile, the plum stand was quite well organized. I sat down at the table with the leader and looked around at the people.
Cheonak, who could not bear it anymore, asked first.
“What on earth happened? Both of them are fine, so I can’t predict.”
The pervert muttered.
“I thought the volcano was collapsing. “How are you so fine?”
Cheonak looked at me.
“What’s strangest of all is… … .”
I asked.
“What’s so strange?”
“Why do you seem stronger than when you came up? Did you come down after training with the cult leader? Or have you not fought properly yet?”
The leader and I smiled slightly.
The religious leader said to Cheonak.
“Heavenly evil.”
“Why but?”
“Let’s go see the new dog together.”
“Why that beggar?”
“If you send the message to a subordinate, Shingae will not believe it. You and I will go and tell you that our time is over. Then you won’t believe in God either?”
Cheon-ak looked at me with a truly surprised expression.
“what?”
I think everyone expected the leader to win. The eldest brother and the daughter-in-law also looked at me and the leader in turn with surprised expressions.
Cheonak muttered.
“That’s amazing. Even Shingae will be surprised. “Jangju.”
Maehwajangju answered.
“Yes, senior.”

“When Baekga wakes up later, tell him that I went to see Shingae with the religious leader. If I told you that I went with this combination, they would think we would fight again. “I emphasize that that is not the case.”
“All right.”
Cheonak looked at me.
“I have to have a drink with a beggar.”
A drinking party for Cheonak, Gyoju, and Shingae would have its own meaning. Since it wasn’t my place, I had no intention of going along.
Come to think of it, it seemed like all the injured were lying inside the plum funeral.
Fortunately, thanks to the quick-witted plum sauce, I was able to have a decent meal as soon as I returned. I never thought that the strength of the leader and I would feel so vain. The leader did not lose his composure, but I ate my food like a beggar under an overpass.
The eldest brother said to me with a smile.
“It seems like you are committed to opening up.”
I answered while moving my chopsticks around.
“I almost starved to death. “We should have at least hunted and competed.”
Because the religious leader was there, there was no atmosphere to congratulate me. Surprisingly, the two Samjaes moved to the carriage as soon as they finished eating. Of course, we went together in the carriage to see the two people off.
The coachman got up from the coach seat and greeted the leader first.
“Sir, your hair… … .”
“That’s it.”
When I looked, there was a tray of food brought by the Maehwajangju on the coach seat, and not only me but the head of the school was also looking at it. This means that the activity of the Hwasan First Sword is so spectacular.
The religious leader said.
“I have to go see Shingae with Cheonak. Let’s go to Gaebong.”
The coachman answered.
“Then we will welcome you in an open manner.”
The leader and Cheonak looked around at us. The atmosphere was very dry because no one could say a gentle goodbye.
However, the Hwasan First Sword was an exception.
“Master, senior. Take a long look. My junior learned a lot.”
The sect leader nodded and said to the plum owner.
“Jangju also had a hard time.”
“Yes, leader.”
Cheonak looked at us and muttered.
“I didn’t know that times would change while riding in a carriage. Everyone, you must work hard because you are not a powerhouse that ends with just one fight. Goes.”
“Please take a look.”
So the carriage set off.
Samjae was also seen leaving early in the morning. My eldest brother, who was watching with me, asked me.
“How on earth did you win? “It seems like the leader has become stronger than when he entered the mountain.”
This time everyone looked at me.
“So how on earth did you win?”
I wish I could tell you clearly, but the reason for my victory was so complex that I couldn’t explain it in simple words.
“… … “I probably won just because I was stronger.”
A man who casually boasts about his once strong strength, that is me. The demon said as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Didn’t you go up and argue and then come down? Then I understand. The leader probably didn’t want to listen to your nagging, so his hair turned white or he vomited blood all night. Isn’t this more persuasive? “Master?”
The eldest brother nodded with a serious expression.
“That’s more convincing.”
What kind of atmosphere is this? Even though the third of the Four Great Wickeds defeated the religious leader and went down, there was absolutely no one who believed him.
“What kind of argument is this because you said you won with skill? Actually, even if we had argued, I would have won. I guess I was talking to myself and foaming at the mouth. But what about the second one?”
The eldest brother answered.
“I came out yesterday and started eating breakfast again in the evening.”
It was a bit funny to think that a ghost demon, a white-robed scholar, and a blood cult leader would be having a fortune-telling meal in a seemingly normal plum shop.
Maehwajangju asked me.
“Lord Moon, I’m curious about how you won, but I’m also curious about what kind of mindset you went into the fight with. “Can you tell me that?”
“mental attitude?”
“yes.”
Actually, I didn’t really have any thoughts, but looking at the serious expression on the plum blossom owner’s face, it was a moment where I had to choose what to say. I just explained it briefly as it was.
“When we climbed the volcano, the religious leader made a life-or-death request. “We heard each other’s will.”
“hmm.”
“Actually, I didn’t intend to die alone. “We fought thinking that we could either survive and go down together, or die together and be buried in the volcano.”
The devil cut me off.
“Okay, so try to be more persuasive. “How did you win?”
I ignored what the poop said and then looked at my eldest brother.
“Eldest brother.”
“why.”
“The sect leader’s will was to hand over the position of sect leader to his eldest brother. “Did you expect it?”
“It’s not really surprising.”
“So you took on the position of leader?”
The eldest brother looked around at us and then shook his head.
“You can’t do that. “My daily life is better now than the position of leader.”
It’s just as I expected. As this happened, his eldest brother asked me this time.
“What was your will?”
“I said I had no will. “I’ve said everything you always say, but what is your will?”
At this moment, we turned our heads at the same time and looked at the entrance of the plum blossom market. The carriage was on the other side of the collapsed wall, so we were only now able to see the entrance. I have never been so surprised as this before in my life.
“and… … .”
How is such a combination possible?
Gwangseung was standing at the entrance to the plum market.
It was surprising that Gwangseung appeared, but he was not alone. Gwangseung, who discovered us, put down Yorani, who was riding on his shoulder.
As I was looking at the dirt on the monk’s face and the edge of his robes, it seemed as if he had come here with Yoran on his shoulder and spread out his eyes.
As Yoran approached us, his smile gradually disappeared. She was about to say hello when she asked.
“Where is Second Master?”
The devil answered.
“I’m having a good luck breakfast. “It’s not a major injury, so don’t worry.”
Only then did Yoran greet his eldest brother with a bright expression.
“Master, are you at peace? “I meet the Third Master and the Fourth Master.”
“okay.”
We nodded while receiving greetings from the disciple who appeared at the volcano. Everyone looked at Gwangseung because they couldn’t help but be more curious about the person who brought the student than the person who was flirting with the student.
Gwangseung slowly approached and asked.
“… … “I heard you were fighting with the cult leader. Is the fight over?”
How on earth did time pass? He looked much younger than the Gwangseung I knew. Is this what it feels like to be possessed by a ghost?
In the end, I answered.
“It ended safely.”
When I answered politely, which was unusual, everyone looked at me.
Gwangseung also looked at me.
“Are you Hao Wen?”
“yes.”
Of course, Gwangseung is seeing me for the first time.
Gwangseung looked at me and continued speaking.
“… … “I heard that the priest received help from Jungwon, so I visited Ilyang-hyeon to say hello and came with him at the request of a young disciple.”
The eldest brother asked if he seemed to know where Gwangseung belonged.
“Are you by any chance a monk of Miscellaneous Esoteric Buddhism?”
Gwangseung nodded.
“I’m a monk. “If there were so many strong players in the midfield, we should have come sooner.”
As everyone was standing and talking, Maehwajangju came out.
“Come on, sit over there and talk. “Have you and your disciple eaten?”
Gwangseung answered.
“I was busy coming.”
“Ah, then get ready… … .”
Gwangseung asked Maehwajangju.
“Do you have any alcohol?”
“yes?”
“alcohol.”
“there is.”
When the monk came in the morning and asked for alcohol, everyone looked confused. Come to think of it, this man often drank alcohol in her past life as well. Since I found out later that she was angry about the death of the priest, I misunderstood that this man had escaped from her temple to drink her drink.
Anyway, I asked the plum blossom owner.
“Jangju, please prepare some alcohol.”
“Yes, Lord Moon.”
Only then did we sit around the table. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Gwangseung, but it’s also been a long time since I’ve seen the Zen master that Gwangseung was leaning on the table. It was different from the captain I knew. In my previous life, it was dark red and purplish, as if it had been soaked in blood, but now it was a very clear golden color. It looks like he didn’t crush anyone’s head on the way. However, unlike in his previous life, there was no crescent-shaped blade attached to the captain’s head.
I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t. It’s because we’re meeting for the first time.
Saekma asked Gwangseung.
“Monk, the weapons look incredibly heavy. “Can I take a listen?”
“Sure.”
The demon lifted the captain with one hand and made a surprised expression.
“Do you mean to say that you held this, even put Yoran on your shoulder, and did a light attack?”
Gwangseung nodded.
“I feel like my shoulder is going to fall off.”
I had to hold back laughter because it didn’t go well with his size and appendix-like appearance at all.
As soon as the religious leader left, the Gwangseung appeared, so the situation was generally in a state of disorientation.
Yoran took advantage of the silence and asked us.
“Masters, are you hurt anywhere?”
“does not exist.”
“Nothing.”
I shook my head as if I was okay.
Yoran asked again.
“Did you defeat the leader?”
Strangely, I did not want to boast in front of my young student, so I answered briefly.
“okay. It was competed in a competition format. “Anyway, the monk carried you all the way here. How can I repay you for this?”
Yoran said while looking at Gwangseung.
“Even though that wasn’t the case, my father was so sorry that he treated me with a whole pork bone and the best alcohol before leaving. sorry. monk.”
Gwangseung smiled while looking at Yoran.
“Okay. “I came here with the intention of traveling anyway.”
Next, we watched the monk drinking alcohol. I also poured him some drinks. Gwangseung seemed to be in a comfortable mood, as he chatted with us and laughed often.
We just had a short conversation.
He was laughing more here than all the times Gwangseung had laughed in his previous life combined.
As the monk like a monk and a monk who drinks alcohol spoke in a surprisingly easygoing tone, not only the four great evildoers but also the master of plum blossoms treated Gwangseung without difficulty.
How on earth did this happen?
Sometimes I couldn’t help but look at Gwangseung blankly because he showed a completely different side to the Gwangseung I knew.
I asked Gwangseung, intentionally thinking of touching the captain a little.
“Can I see the captain?”
“Sure.”
I examined the head, fiddling with the unbreakable belief.
“Are there any blades or blunt objects attached to this place?”
“exactly.”
“It looks like you don’t usually wear it?”
Gwangseung looked at me and nodded.
“I’m on a trip so I don’t need any blades.”
“Where do you plan to go on a trip?”
Gwangseung looked around at us and said.
“There are a few famous places I want to see. I also want to go a little further and see the ocean.”
Why is this man so obsessed with the sea?
I asked because I was curious.
“Is there a reason you want to see the sea?”
Gwangseung replied with an expression that it was no big deal.
“I’ve only heard about it since I was born, so I guess I should see it at least once. They say there is an ocean. They say it is as deep as a mountain, wider than a plain, and has no end in sight. Have you guys been to the sea?”
After receiving Gwangseung’s question, we did not answer for a while.
