Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 443

Episode 443

The future on the sword (5)

It wasn’t just Hwaun who was surprised.

‘this person.’

Jeongan looked at Yeonhojeong with shaking eyes.

Even if you don’t know about the world, you can know it well. And if people know themselves well, they can know the world well.

Jeongan still didn’t know much about people, let alone the world. This is because there were not many people she met with whom she shared her true feelings.

However, if the other person truly opens their heart, you can read their mind.

So Jeong An was able to read Yeon Ho Jeong’s feelings to some extent.

‘anger? ‘Pity?’

A person’s emotions are not dominated by any one thing. It tends to be very complicated.

Jeong An read Yeon Ho Jeong’s complicated mind. Among them, the most prominent emotions were anger and sadness.

‘What are you angry about? ‘What’s so sad?’

Yeon Ho-jeong continued speaking to Hwa-un, who did not respond.

“I hope you don’t misunderstand and listen. I am not saying that Botaam will also fail because so many other sects have failed. In the same sense, many sects have attempted to promote peace and well-being, and there is no reason why Botaam cannot promote the same cause. “It is outside the freedom of the organization.”

“Of course I do.”

“However, in the eyes of this narrow-minded person, what the distinguished guest is saying seems inconsistent.”

“You mean inconsistent?”

“Are you going to a great effort to relieve the suffering common people and promote peace and well-being in the world? It could be so. But is such a method only possible if a swordsman comes from your tribe?”

Hwaun said calmly.

“As I said, this child is the candidate who fits the qualifications for the next prosecutor. “If only this child’s strength and gentleness….”

“At the same time, the distinguished guest believes that only if Geomhu exists in order for Botha to use his power for the world.”

“yes?”

“Is Geomhu really that great? How can I obtain the position of Geomhu? A title given to someone with outstanding martial arts skills? Or is it a title that can only be obtained if one has exceptional enlightenment? Or is he a divine being who will one day save the world, like Mirae Buddha, as spoken of in Buddhism?”

“…!”

“If the opposing tribe produces a sword master, does that mean the way to contribute to peace disappears?”

“I think you misunderstood the leader, but I’ll say it again, this kid is…”

“Why do you want to join the martial arts team?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes narrowed.

“Can we work for peace only if we join the martial arts community, open a sect, and become an organization recognized by everyone? There is a way to simply blend into the lives of the common people, or at the very least, there is a way to use your fame to enrich the common people with wealth. How can you join the martial arts team?”

“Hojang.”

“I told you a little while ago. There is no consistency in the guest of honor’s words. In order for the distinguished guest’s words to be consistent, one fact must be set straight.”

“…?”

“If you want to produce a swordsman from your tribe and become the owner of Botaam and live a happy life, then what you have said so far is consistent.”

Hwaun’s face hardened.

“Your words are harsh.”

“Did I misunderstand?”

“of course. I’ve told you this several times. Geomhu, who was the symbol of Botaam, must now become a real force. And in order to do that…”

“So why does it have to be strength?”

“yes?”

“It’s okay if you don’t join the martial arts team. Shall I be more honest? “If you go to martial arts, all you can gain is despair and a sense of self-destruction, stained with blood and death.”

“Hojang.”

“If Botaam is a temple and not a sect, then the true power you have is not military power but Buddhist mind. But why do you want to come into the world armed?”

“…!”

“Shouldn’t you go out into the world with your sincere Buddhahood, which is what you do best? Is it possible for Geomhu to become a Buddha? “Why are you so obsessed with the aftermath of the sword?”

“What do you mean obsession? “Your words are harsh.”

“If it’s not obsession, it’s that you truly believe that Bota can only use his power for the world if a Geomhu comes from your tribe.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were filled with harsh energy.

Those eyes were neither the eyes of the Dark Emperor nor the eyes of the Byeoksanhojang. It was closer to the gaze of a stern senior who had lived longer and experienced more than the other person.

Is that why? Hwaun’s face, which had been distorted with anger and displeasure, instantly became stiff.

“If it weren’t for the idiots in Bothaam, you wouldn’t know how ridiculous that is. “If you believe that it is the only truth and salvation, then you should first learn common sense before practicing to go out into the world.”

“If you’re insulting Bothaam…!”

“Since when?”

“…?!”

“Since when did we start hoping for success in the secular world by going out into the world, talking about ancient history, and using the symbol of Geomhu in the name of saving the common people?”

“Great!”

“Aren’t you ashamed? In front of your successors?”

“What?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Jeong-an.

Jeong An was looking at Yeon Ho Jeong with trembling eyes.

“You have done a good job raising your successor. “To the extent that it makes me look back on how I was once convinced that strength was the best value to end the turbulent times.”

“…!”

“As you can see, I am stubborn, arrogant, and an idiot who doesn’t even listen to what other people say. Would you change your mind if tens of thousands of swords were pointed at a guy like me? “Do you want to do something like reflect?”

“….”

“But this Sozer did it. It made me look back at myself in the past. It was the power of the eyes and mind, not the sword. “Sojeo, who is weaker than me, did something that even tens of thousands of experts could not do.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

His smile towards Jeong An seemed to belong to a completely different person than when he sternly reprimanded Hwaun.

“You need strength. That thought has not changed yet. However, the more people like this Sojeo, the less space there will be for power.”

“….”

“I think that’s a way to bring about a little bit of peace, which we never know will happen.”

Hwaun said in a stern tone.

“You are more immature than me.”

“Do you see it?”

“is it so. The world cannot be changed just by the smiles of good people. Because he knows that, Botha is trying to go out into the world. “To become a little stronger.”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“I won’t stop you. There is no reason to stop it. But that cannot be a reason why a swordsman should come from your tribe.”

“…It’s a shame.”

Grumble.

Hwaun roughly stood up from his seat.

“They say Chief Byeoksanho is a genius whose vision is as good as his skills, but it’s very different from what I heard.”

“Rumors are sometimes exaggerated. “I am not as great a person as they say.”

“is it so. I realized once again that rumors cannot be trusted. “This is why the world is so scary.”

Jeongan looked at Hwaun in confusion.

“Accident! “You’re talking too much!”

“Shut up!”

It was a stronger reprimand than ever before. No, it wasn’t a reprimand, it was more of a nervous reaction.

Jeongan was surprised. No matter how much he changed, he had never reacted like this to himself.

Hwaun glared at Yeonhojeong with burning eyes.

“They said that if we went to the Murim Alliance headquarters, it would be difficult to get a proper answer because they were fighting among themselves. So you are the one who came here. At least, Byeoksanhojang was said to be a person who could represent the Murim Alliance of the time.”

“Did you hear that?”

“I heard that, but I’m afraid it’s not true. “Someone like you can never represent an organization.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Good to see. “Except for people who have too much of what they lack.”

“You took a useless step. I enjoyed the tea. Wake up right now.”

The sight didn’t happen. I just looked at Hwaun with shaking eyes.

Hwaun shouted.

“Even if you wake up!”

Yeon Ho-jeong asked then.

“What makes you so angry?”

“I don’t want to hear any more.”

“When did you start prioritizing your own pride and desires over the eyes and heart of the successor you regarded as your child?”

“Shut up!”

In an instant, Yeon Ho-jeong’s tone changed.

“Do you think there is no one like you?”

Hwaun flinched. The opponent’s mood, which changed in a split second, came as a subtle pressure.

“There are many people who have sacrificed their lives to come out and change the world. Among them, only a handful of people are sincere in their words. And unfortunately, none of those handful of people made their dreams come true.”

“No matter what you say, I won’t listen.”

“Yeah, mostly like you. “Enlightenment is something that can be achieved even while walking the path, but what is worse, it made even you, the practitioner, close your ears and not be able to contemplate yourself.”

“…!”

“That is desire. “You lost to desire.”

“shut up!”

hook!

A bitter energy wave erupted from Hwaun’s body.

Although she looked like an ordinary person when she was captured, the energy that started to radiate out transformed her into a top expert.

Surprisingly, the level of the energy wave was almost close to Yeonhojeong. Bothaam’s potential was proven just by showing off his energy.

“Such an insult to someone who follows Buddhist law! “If you weren’t a general of the Murim Alliance, I wouldn’t have let you go!”

“You mean he would have killed him?”

“…okay.”

Hwaun’s eyes glowed maliciously.

His wounded pride was in front of the tribe’s successor.

Before she knew it, she was angry, hurt by the pride she had created as an illusion.

“I would have killed him.”

Jeongan shouted.

“Accident!!”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“Wrong.”

“…?”

“The person you need to kill is not me, but Buddha. “Even I, who am not a practitioner, know the fact that in order to reach the truth through enlightenment, you need a pulpit that would kill even the Buddha.”

“A handyman who has mastered the humble radish of the world is discussing Buddhism with me?!”

“At least it seems like I’m closer to the law than you are right now. “I have never read a single line of Buddhist scripture.”

“This guy…!”

Slurp.

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.

“I apologize in advance.”

“Shut up! “I won’t listen to your apologies!”

“In the first place, I had no intention of just sending you away.”

“what?!”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head.

“Are you looking well?”

Yeon Ho-jeong asks into empty space.

Surprisingly, there was an answer coming from thin air.

“I saw it. And I heard it.”

Hwaun and even Jeongan were surprised. The two people had no idea that someone else was hiding here.

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.

“First of all, what do you think of the monk who killed the Buddha?”

“It’s just a shame.”

There was no emotion other than genuine sadness in the voice of the person saying he was sorry.

Words and emotions match exactly. It was a heavy voice with not a trace of lie in it.

Hwaun shouted.

“Who are you?”

Slurp.

A person who appears out of thin air.

He was none other than Beom-oh.

“Amitabha Buddha. “Greetings to the enlightened people of Shaolin’s Beomgoga Bota.”
