Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 423

Episode 423

Legend and reality (2)

“…!!”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression suddenly changed.

At a moment like this, he never dared to imagine that he would meet someone who knew the identity of his master and Sashinmu.

Tamgyeong’s eyes, which had been shining with seriousness, soon returned to their characteristic calm eyes.

“As expected, it was like that. “I trained the Shinigami.”

“You…”

Are you too surprised?

Yeon Ho-jeong said without realizing it.

“Huh, how do you know the Shinigami?”

It had to be that way.

Sasinmu is a martial art forgotten in history. In fact, it was only after Yan Hao-jeong returned that he learned that the origin of this martial arts was the legendary master of Four Fangs, Emperor Wu of Four Directions, 300 years ago.

Of course, Yeon Ho-jeong was very indifferent in that regard. But even taking that into account, no one even knew what martial arts in all directions was.

The Guju Myeongga, which is now extinct, modified the Four Gods Dance in a bizarre way and turned it into something similar to a magical art with a bad ending, but even they did not know that it was a Four God Dance.

Wooooow!

A heavy energy rose from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.

It was a Hyeonmugi. To protect his startled mind, Hyeonmu-gong was automatically activated.

Inspector Tam’s eyes sparkled.

“Is that the energy of the Shinigami?”

“….”

“Hehe, it’s much deeper and heavier than I thought. “It seems to be based on water energy, but it doesn’t really suit my personality.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly watching the investigation, spoke honestly without realizing it.

“It’s just a part of the Shinigami.”

“part?”

“exactly.”

“So does that mean that the Shinigami’s martial arts skills are not one, but four?”

The Four Gods are the gods of the four directions. From the answer that it is some of them, it would not be difficult to infer that true energy also has four tendencies.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to read more surprise than inference in Tamgyeong’s words. I knew about the messenger, but I didn’t seem to know the details about the martial arts.

‘Who the hell is this guy?’

It’s a unique sleep.

It was true that he knew Sasinmu, which only he and his teacher knew, but what was truly surprising was his naivety that did not match his age.

Even though he was a junior, he was clearly showing facial expressions and emotions that did not need to be revealed. Playfulness that is not appropriate for one’s age is a bonus. He would have been closer to a hundred years old if he were a pre-war figure, but he was behaving like a child who had no idea about the world.

‘What is this author doing?’

It was called Tamgyeong. It means a person who searches for scriptures.

What kind of scripture are you looking for and how do you know about the Four Gods?

Could it be that the scripture he is looking for is related to Sasinmu?

“…That’s it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong put aside his doubts.

Those who know their martial arts skills and those who ask who their teacher is.

Since you asked such a question, what Yeon Ho-jeong wanted to ask was Taesan. But what was important to him now was not about the Shinigami or what this old man was doing.

The most important thing now is the mission.

Many subordinates died in this operation to eliminate the evil spirit. Even if it was the best, it could be said that it was the leader’s responsibility.

No matter how great a martial artist Sasinmu is, is he worth more than the lives of his subordinates?

Yeon Ho-jeong had a responsibility to successfully complete this mission, even for the sake of his dead subordinates.

“I answered. Now give me your answer to my question.”

There was surprise on Inspector Tam’s face.

“Aren’t you curious about how I know about your martial arts skills?”

“I’m curious.”

“But how? As far as I know, the Four Gods’ martial arts have been discontinued for three hundred years. Moreover, the last successor to this martial arts skill is….”

“Look, old man.”

No one would have guessed that the ordinary word ‘old man’ could sound like such an outrageous title.

“Secondly, how do you know my martial arts skills and what is your purpose in asking my teacher?”

“…?”

“I lost a man and am here to fight the rest of my mission. “I was wondering if your unexpected prank might affect our mission.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Yeon Ho-jeong’s pupils turned red.

It was a manifestation of the main weapon. The spark of death in his eyes put pressure on Inspector Tam.

“Tell me. Do you have a relationship with your official? “It was a bad joke, but it didn’t sound like a joke.”

“….”

“If you have a connection, tell me everything about where the line is drawn and whether you will intervene in this matter or interfere with us or not.”

If Yeon Ho-jeong was very surprised just a moment ago, now it was Tam-gyeong’s turn to be shocked.

‘Look at this guy?’

It is clear that the curiosity is enormous.

Nevertheless, I passed the matter regarding the messenger to one ear.

Detective Tam had no choice but to ask again.

“Aren’t you curious about where your martial arts skills come from, how I know them, and what I do?”

“I made it clear. “There are things that are more important than all that right now.”

“Such a thing! This is nonsense! The martial arts of the Four Gods are said to have been legendary three hundred years ago…!”

Kwaaaaaaaa!

A tremendous advance shook the entire mountain.

Beom-oh looked down at Yeon Ho-jeong’s feet with shaking eyes.

The ground Yeon Ho-jeong stepped on was devastated. Spider-web-like cracks started right under his feet and spread across all the ground in sight.

‘Terrible!’

It was a power beyond imagination. Jin-gak, as fierce as a flame and as heavy as a mountain, was showing a flow of shocking power that had never been seen in any adult of Shaolin.

Yeon Ho-jeong growled softly.

“Would you like to pick up the ax right now?”

“….”

“I don’t know how old you’ve been, or how long you’ve been stuck in a cave, but if you’re going to talk bullshit, bark at the sky, not at people.”

Beom-oh shouted.

“Kite algebra! “If you say something like that one more time, I won’t forgive you!”

Yeon Ho-jeong also shouted.

“The one who cannot forgive is the author!”

“what?!”

“They said someone died! My men and innocent civilians lost their lives! Because of those damn assassins who are disrupting the world!”

“…!!”

“How deep his curiosity is is his own problem! Considering the public sentiment that is wavering even at this very moment, there is no time to go along with the bullshit of that sick old man!”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Beom-oh.

At that moment, Beom-oh felt pain as if his eyes were burning.

“I advise you seriously. I won’t stop you from treating him like an adult since he is a monk, but don’t try to learn from the author as a person before you become a monk. “The author is a very petty person who makes fun of other people’s urgency under the excuse that he has left this world!”

“profit!”

“It was said that if you meet Buddha, you must kill him! “When it’s time to train that crappy martial arts skill, make sure you find yourself properly!”

At that moment, Beom-oh’s eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.

It felt like a huge temple bell was ringing in my head. The dagger-like teachings, packaged with a radicality that even the elders of the monastery had never heard of, were shaking his heart.

Beom-oh froze with his mouth wide open in indescribable shock.

Yeon Ho-jeong turned her eyes to Tamgyeong again.

Inspector Tam’s face was horribly stiff. He too was quite shocked by Yeon Ho-jeong’s verbal abuse.

Slurp.

As I lifted the light dragon, a chilling sound rang out from the ax blade.

“I ask for the last time.”

Yeon Ho-jeong pointed the ax at Tam Gyeong.

“Please explain where the government line is drawn and what the gist of your last statement was.”

“Ibo….”

“I said it clearly. It’s the last time. “If you say something useless, the ax will fly immediately.”

Should I say it’s overwhelming?

Considering the etiquette of the opponent stronger than himself, the central team, he aims his vicious ax at an opponent who deserves absolute respect, and unleashes his will to kill.

Did you read the truth in that life?

Inspector Tam said with a stern face.

“What we do cannot be done without permission from the government.”

“so?”

“There are many people who follow Buddhism even among government officials. This is especially true for high-ranking officials.”

“That means there is a line with high-ranking officials.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes caught fire.

“I heard that it wasn’t just you, but several creatures living in that cave that moved. Nevertheless, you came to the official residence of the Left Emperor. “From what I heard from Open Island, they only told us about those who were most likely to be assassinated, but did not say who was most important and what the scope was.”

“….”

“I don’t know about Jwapojeongsa, but I guess he’s at least in touch with a high-ranking official on Seungseonpojeongsa’s side. “Maybe the provincial commander’s side is like that too, right?”

“…Amazing. Can you infer that far?”

“Then it is done. “Now let’s answer one remaining question.”

“One remaining question?”

Although he was extremely angry, Tamgyeong was responding to every informal comment made by a young man nearly 80 years younger than him.

Even if nothing else was known, his generous personality was worthy of recognition. In a world where people lose their temper if they are not respected even if they know their faults or mistakes, Tamgyeong at least showed that he knows how to accept the other person’s feelings.

“Are you going to intervene in the government’s affairs?”

“Hehehe.”

Inspector Tam smiled broadly.

“I already apologized, but I apologize again. Did you really think that I would be involved in worldly affairs? I am a person who has been devoted to finding something all my life, and I plan to continue to do so. “How much of my life do I have left before I get involved in something like that?”

“In the end, it was just a joke.”

“I’m sorry. It’s been such a long time since I came out into the world, and I guess I was excited without even realizing it. “I apologize for that part.”

“That’s not enough.”

“hmm?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“The apology should not be to me, but to the grassroots people of Guangdong who are groaning at this very moment.”

Inspector Tam shook his head.

“No matter what you think of me, I have no intention of getting involved in the world. “The reason I helped with this matter was because I thoroughly hoped that demons would not get involved in our work.”

“….”

“We have forgotten the Buddhist texts and the world. “We have already become those people.”

“In that case, I’ll turn you back into a human for a little while.”

“You don’t have to, you don’t have to.”

“Go to the government office. “For the sake of Guangdong Province’s stability, you must work with me to persuade the officials.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to touch that.”

“I’ll tell you about Sashinmu.”

“…?!”

Inspector Tam’s face hardened.

“What did you just say?”

“I’m not going to ask you where I thought of the Shinigami or what the Shinigami means to you. However, I guess you guys are quite interested in the martial arts I learned.”

“….”

“I’ll tell you what kind of martial arts it is. So cooperate here. “If what you said is true, Guangdong can be stabilized as soon as possible.”

bang!

Yeonhojeong planted the Gwangryongbu on the ground.

“It’s not a favor, it’s a transaction. And if this deal doesn’t go through, then I’ll pick up the ax again.”

“…Hehehehehehe!”

“Make a decision quickly. I do not have time.”

Inspector Tam’s eyes lit up.

“What do I gain from taking that deal?”

“It was said to be a deal. “Don’t ask for more than that.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became gloomy.

He put his hand on the sack.

“Yes No. “Make a decision quickly.”
