Legend and Reality (1)
“Ah, Manager Mook.”
“Commander.”
Mukbi lowered his head.
“How are you feeling?”
Mo Yong-woo smiled bitterly.
“It’s okay. By the way, thank you for the other day. “If you hadn’t come on time, it would have been really difficult.”
Regardless of whether the mission was successful or not, Mo Fei and Sima Xuan broke through the walls, killed numerous assassins, and saved the Tang Ma soldiers who were about to die.
That alone helped a lot. If it weren’t for those two people, Tang Ma’s damage might have been much greater.
Mukbi shook his head.
“no. I also just followed Dae-su’s orders. Regardless of that, it’s natural to help since we are part of a family.”
He kept silent as he said that because he was worried that he might be offended or look at Yeon Ho-jeong in a bad light. Either way, Yeon Ho-jeong looking bad was not what she wanted.
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“I know. How can you not know that? However, as the head of the Tangma Army, I should express my gratitude because lives that could have died were saved thanks to Director Mok.”
“Ah…”
I wondered if Mo Yong-woo might have been offended, but as expected, my worries were unfounded.
Mo Yong-woo did not blame Yeon Ho-jeong. On the contrary, he understood him and was greatly grateful to Mukbi for sending reinforcements.
Mukbi felt a sense of bitterness.
‘I believe it.’
I knew it because I heard it from Yeon Ho-jeong. That he is planning to make Mo Yong-woo the next Murim lord.
Mo Yong-woo would also know that. Regardless of how much pressure you feel, if you can talk like that, the trust you have in each other must be great.
‘Just as the practitioner and I were bound together by trust, Commander Moyong was also bound up with the practitioner by trust.’
At the same time, just as he shared friendship with the Immortal Lord, Mo Yong-wu must have also shared a deep affection with the Tangma Lord.
So it was surprising. This was because he felt that he would not be able to come to his senses as easily as Mo Yong-woo in the shocking situation of his subordinates’ deaths.
‘Is this the difference in the bowl?’
It may or may not be so.
The important thing is that Mo Yong-woo is a much greater person than we think. In fact, the reason why he was able to block the nine hundred assassins who had mastered the wilderness with the five hundred Tang Demon Army was thanks to Mo Yong-woo, who understood the geography of the wilderness in that short period of time and placed his troops in the right place.
He is an underrated person in many ways. Mukbi felt that way. I don’t know why Yeon Ho-jeong wanted to appoint Mo Yong-woo as the Murim lord, but I could at least know that he didn’t choose just anyone.
“Anyway, I want to ask you something.”
“Speak comfortably. “I am just a manager.”
“You can’t do that. “He only has a position as a manager, but he is no different from the commander of the army of death and death.”
“But a position is a position.”
Mo Yong-woo, who was silently watching, nodded.
“Then rest easy from now on.”
“Please.”
“I’ll ask you straight. “Where is Dae-su?”
“He went out to run some business.”
“hmm.”
Don’t misunderstand, Mo Fei was about to say that it’s not that he doesn’t think about Tang Ma, but he closed his mouth when a sudden thought occurred to him. Mo Yong-woo also believes in Yeon Ho-jeong, so there is no need to add that.
It was just as Mukbi thought.
“I heard that ending the evil spirit is not the end. “There’s a next mission?”
“Ah yes.”
“Did you know?”
“That’s right.”
“Then explain. “I heard at first glance that my army had to solve the security problems of Guangdong Province, but I didn’t know that it was just an extension of eliminating the evil spirits and was given in the form of a mission.”
The chief knows what the military commander himself does not know.
It was a situation that could have been unpleasant enough, but Mo Yong-woo showed no such expression at all. Actually, I wasn’t offended.
Because I thought there must be a reason.
Mukbi said calmly.
“Guangdong Province is a region that has built its own culture, unlike other regions in the Central Plains.”
“I know.”
“That’s why it’s difficult for the central government to properly control it. So we sent a lot of talented officials.”
“Go ahead.”
“But if Yin Xin is removed, the back world of Guangdong Province will be shaken. If it’s natural, then it’s natural. “Now that the king is gone, countless wild cats will rush to take his place.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes lit up.
“They will cause great damage to people’s safety.”
As expected, Mo Yong-woo was quick to notice.
“That’s right. In other words, in order to stabilize Guangdong Province, it is essential to organize the behind-the-scenes world.”
“It must be difficult.”
“The master also said that. “It would be much more difficult to break in if the powerful Black Island factions fought a war among themselves.”
“It has to be that way. Weak Seungnyangs are everywhere in people’s lives. “I have nothing to show off, so I have no choice but to do it for the sake of my god.”
“In other words, it is bound to be extremely difficult to pick them out one by one and eliminate them. “It is difficult to resolve with only the forces of the military units and intelligence organizations, and we do not know how long it will take.”
“Then…”
Mo Yong-woo muttered as if he were talking to himself.
“As expected, the Baekdo clans of Guangdong… If we were to go one step further, it would be ideal to cooperate with the government officials…”
For a moment, a look of surprise appeared in Mo Fei’s eyes.
‘That’s amazing.’
Just by listening, he comes up with the best solution.
Regardless of whether it was realistically possible, in order for Guangdong Province to run safely on its own, it was best for the Baekdo clan and the government to join forces to control the back world.
“Then Dae-su must be very busy. If you are a member of the Baekdo clan, you can somehow coordinate it to the value of the name of the Murim Alliance, but the government official…” “
Yes. Even if that wasn’t the case, it seemed like he was worried a lot about that part.”
“I see.”
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“I understand. “When did you say you would come back?”
“I think he’ll probably come back after the sun goes down.”
“Okay. “Then I’ll come back then.”
“all right.”
“Oh, and I heard that one of the soldiers of the Mortal Army was seriously injured. “I heard you are a disciple of old man Geomseon?”
“Thank goodness Okcheong came to his senses. “It’s still hard to move, though.”
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“Take care of it well so there are no aftereffects. “I am a disciple of the old man Geomseon, so I don’t know if he will take care of it or not.”
“…All right.”
Even though so many of his subordinates died, he was so worried about the condition of one Mortal soldier.
This was not because I had a big heart. To Mo Yong-wu, the Mortal Death Army and the Tang Demon Army were no different. The only difference is who manages them.
“If you do that, I’ll just leave. Take care of yourself too. “Because you never know when and what order will come.”
Mukbi’s eyes shone.
“All right.”
That’s how Mo Yong-woo returned.
Mukbi muttered softly as he watched Mo Yong-woo disappear.
“…Am I being too clumsy or are those gentlemen’s bowls too big?”
* * *
Beom-oh widened his eyes.
“Kite algebra!!”
Beom-oh’s loud voice was no different from another lion’s hooves.
But Yeon Ho-jeong did not blink an eye. He didn’t even look at Beom-oh.
He was just glaring at the old man with his infinitely cold eyes, and there was even madness in those eyes.
said the old man.
“Did you say beom-o?”
“yes? Oh yes!”
“Stop it.”
“But, Sajo (??)!”
At that moment, a strange sight flashed in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
Philosophy. Although this term is usually used for the master’s master, the title of Sajo is also given to the elders of the previous generation.
In other words, even if the old man couldn’t do it, he was a former high priest of Shaolin and could have been a former high priest.
If you think about common sense, there was a high probability that it was a sublease. In the case of Jeonjeondae, it is difficult to find one in any sect. Most people either die at the end of their lifespan or go to a place where no one can find them to cultivate discipline.
However, for some reason, the strange radiant energy emanating from the old man’s body was unusual. It was as if he had put aside Buddhist scriptures for a long time, as he had a unique atmosphere that made it difficult to guess his age, and even though he had mastered the Buddhist scriptures, he gave off a somewhat worldly scent.
However, one thing is clear: the old man in front of me is of an age that no one can mess with.
The old man straightened his posture.
“You are right. Not only did he appear out of the blue, but I got excited and played a terrible prank on him without me even realizing it. “I definitely apologize for that.”
“….”
“First, let me introduce myself. “I am a man named Tamgyeong.”
Tamgyeong.
It was too strange a Chinese character to be a name. If you translate the meaning literally, it means a person who searches for scriptures, but it was not a character that could be used as a person’s name.
“why? “Is the name strange?”
“….”
“Hehehe, actually, I don’t even know the name of the world. I just created it based on what I am doing now. “In the past, when it was written down in Buddhist scriptures, the name of the law was Gakryo (??).”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s pupils subtly dilated.
‘Minister? Each ship!’
The distribution of positions among the leaders of Shaolin at the time is meritorious.
Above is the Muja boat of Master Muheo (??), which is said to be a legend in Shaolin, and above the Muja boat is the Jeonjeondae Gakjaja boat.
In other words, the old man, Tamgyeong, is a figure from the prehistoric era of Shaolin. In a way, I met the best adult in martial arts, which is harder to meet than the strong men of Seongcheon.
But Yeonhojeong’s surprise ended there.
“I got your name. Now, please explain why you mentioned the official and threatened me.”
Grrrr.
Beom-oh’s body trembled slightly.
It’s not because they’re Shaolin, but it was normal for any sect to treat adults as they should. Regardless of the strength or weakness of martial arts, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a living witness of history.
However, Yeonhojeong did not respect Sajo at all. Beom-oh had a hard time holding back his rising anger.
On the other hand, Inspector Tam burst into laughter.
“Hehehehe! He is truly a very friendly junior. Yes, the world has changed so much. “I didn’t even know how time was passing, but I stayed in a cave and cut off ties with the world, and yet the world has once again brought forth amazing people to this earth.”
“….”
“Good. I’ll tell you. “But before that, I would like you to give me one answer.”
“Please speak.”
“I will make it clear. In some ways, this question may be a secret I want to keep from you. Of course, this is just my guess, but if what I think is correct, you are truly an extraordinary person.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“I don’t like wasting time. If you have anything to ask, please ask.”
“Hehehe! “I understand, I understand.”
At that moment, Inspector Tam’s eyes suddenly changed.
The change was so impressive that even Yeonhojeong of the world felt a chill down his back.
An atmosphere that cannot be created by the level of martial arts or internal skills.
It was the look in the eyes of a strange man and a madman who sacrificed everything for the only purpose that a person sacrificed his life to find.
“Who is your master?”
“…?!”
“Is this a bit of a difficult question? “Then let me ask the question again.”
Inspector Tam’s eyes shone like the sun.
“Have you trained the Four Gods?”
