Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 872

Episode 872

The eyes of the kings (4)

Flash!

My eyes opened.

Even though I opened them slowly and gently, it felt like lightning had struck my eyes.

Grumbling.

A clear liquid flowed from the eyes.

I wasn’t crying because I was sad. The turbidity remaining in the upper part of the eye travels through the optic nerve and is discharged along with the tears.

Those tears were colored with the refreshment of someone who has washed away their troubles and the tension of someone who is about to face another trouble.

Pusssss.

My beard fell out.

To be precise, the beards, which were as stiff as wire, crumbled and fell off. The same went for the eyebrows.

And the remaining beard and eyebrows were black and thick, yet surprisingly elegant.

The wrinkles that used to be there are no longer visible. Thanks to his unique appearance and deep eyes, he looked middle-aged or older, but if you only looked at his skin, you could believe he was a red-faced young man in his twenties.

Whoa whoa.

Unspeakable emotions carried by the lightly blowing wind.

A quiet voice was heard from the pavilion behind the public ambassador’s office.

“Even the last ray of regret and anger was carried away by the wind, but when I looked back, I saw another ray of agony engraved on his face like a thunderbolt.”

The public ambassador, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up from his seat.

How long had it been sitting? I don’t know, but half a day must have passed. However, his entire body was flexible, as if he had just sat down and immediately stood up.

The public ambassador turned his head.

On top of the pavilion, two old men were exchanging glasses of tea or alcohol.

Namgung Seung, the owner of five senses with sharp yet strangely thick lines, asked with a smile.

“What do you think of the place we arrived at?”

The public ambassador spoke in a calm voice.

“It’s quite different from what I saw.”

“Of course it is.”

“No matter how beautiful paradise may seem, how can you truly experience the joy of being an enlightened being who has escaped reincarnation unless you are a Buddha who has stepped into it?”

“Hoo.”

“Even though I was in a situation where I couldn’t even imitate Buddhism, let alone paradise, I realized once again that seeing, hearing, and smelling things was worse than directly stepping on, touching, and brushing against them.”

Namgungseung burst out laughing.

“In the long history of martial arts, no more than three people have reached this level in one era. “Except now and three hundred years ago.”

“yes.”

“It is absurd to know such a wonderful realm only by guessing.”

Namgungseung nodded.

“Welcome. “In this area.”

The public ambassador gave a half-funeral.

“I just want to thank you for listening to Daengjung’s silent request.”

The silent request was nothing but a defense.

Currently, there are only a few people within the organization who can completely control the power of public ambassadors.

Two of them were Namgungseung and Yeonwi. Those two people can control the powerful power that bursts forth from the body, which is in an infinite state similar to the reincarnation of an ordinary person.

This was the reason the public ambassador came here.

However, the public ambassador did not ask the two people directly. He just knew that these two people would help him.

Namgung Seung said with a smile.

“If you had planned to arrive quietly, there was no need to come here. “All you have to do is go to the peak of Daebyeolsan Mountain and climb high alone.”

“….”

“Nevertheless, there must be another reason for the Ambassador to come here.”

“That’s right.”

“Could you please stop by?”

Ambassador Gong Gong’s eyes landed on Namgung Seung.

At that moment, Namgungseung flinched without realizing it.

‘What a strange look.’

Clear and deep. It is profound yet twinkles like a morning star.

Rather than the eyes of an enlightened monk, they are closer to the eyes of an innocent child who grew up unaware of the chaos of the world.

Who would have thought that this was the look in the eyes of a Shaolin leader who was actively involved in the bloody affairs of the martial arts group? I would have been less surprised if my eyes had been filled with a true energy that was superior to my own in a moment of enlightenment.

‘He is a great person.’

Namgungseung was impressed. No, I was impressed.

‘If there is no outstanding enlightenment before the reverse and the tax, transformation and transformation are close to impossible. Since I had practiced Shaolin’s martial arts skills, it would not have been surprising if I could attain a level of martial arts that was close to that of the Three Lords with just one flight. But…’

The energy that fills the body.

What was more impressive than that energy were those eyes.

‘I deliberately threw away a piece of my own enlightenment.’

I don’t know the details. Master Gong Gong also broke through the barrier, so Namgung Seung could no longer see him clearly.

However, I knew one thing that I gave up the great realization that would have allowed me to fly higher through my own will.

“Why did you do that?”

It was a bottomless question.

However, Ambassador Gong Gong knew what Namgungseung’s question meant.

“I would have been arrogant.”

“Arrogance?”

“I now know the limits of the suffering I can endure. So I knew I couldn’t become Buddha.”

“….”

“But just because you realize that you can’t become a Buddha, you don’t have to stay away from Buddhism. “If you cannot become a Buddha, you must work even harder to get to the bottom of Buddhism.”

Namgung Seung sighed.

It was a subtle sigh mixed with admiration, emotion, and regret.

“As expected, you were a monk before you were a warrior?”

“That’s right.”

“I heard that you became the first Murim lord.”

A look flashed in the eyes of Zhong Libai, who was drinking across from him.

The public ambassador nodded.

“So it happened.”

“The Murim Lord is the position that oversees the Baekdo Murim. The position of general manager is a position that carries more responsibility than anyone else. “There are times when you have to make harsh and heartless judgments, so why did you choose the path of a Buddhist rather than a warrior?”

“Because it is such a position, I must walk the path of a Buddhist even more.”

“Why is that?”

“Because it’s out of balance.”

It was a strange thing to say.

Namgung Seung seemed to know the meaning of Gong Gong’s words, but he also seemed not to know at all.

Slurp.

Monk Namgung got up from his seat and came down to the pavilion.

He bowed his head slightly.

“Greetings to the first lord.”

“It is difficult to handle such greetings.”

“The irresponsible old man has retired from active duty. “It’s just that I came all this way because I was worried about the children of the family, so I’m just a guest and not an idiot.”

“….”

“I came as a guest, so I should be polite to the host.”

The public ambassador smiled.

Namgungseung turned his head toward the pavilion.

“What are you doing? “It’s the same as coming as a guest, so you have to say hello to the host.”

Zhong Libai grumbled.

“I didn’t help that guy. “I will try to fawn over you later when we have a separate meeting.”

host guest.

If you were a previous public ambassador, you would have felt a great burden from that title.

But he was different now.

“I have to go see the servants. “I’ll be busy with various things for the next two days, so you can come visit me in three days.”

Zhonglibaek chuckled.

“Well, let’s do that.”

With those words, the public ambassador disappeared.

Pure admiration appeared on Namgung Seung’s face.

“It’s called geumgang immovable (???moving).”

A gust of wind carried a force of a thousand pounds. However, the movements of the public were so unexpected that even when I saw them, I could not believe them.

Like a huge rock that has stood in place for a thousand years even after being hit by strong rain and wind.

Namgung Seung closed his eyes at the heavy and stable ray of enlightenment left behind by Master Gong.

“The world is vast and vast, and there are so many outstanding talents. “It would be nice if my bloodlines could also germinate the seeds of genius.”

“Don’t be too greedy.”

Namgungseung turned around.

Jonglibaek, who was sitting in the pavilion and sipping a drink, said grumblingly.

“Even the student who taught me for ten years is finally starting to understand something. It took me ten years to awaken a talent that is no less powerful than mine. “You didn’t do that either, did you?”

“…It did.”

“Don’t expect much. Just correct me if I am going down the wrong path. That’s your job.”

Although this was our first time meeting face to face, for some reason, Zhong Libai’s words sounded comfortable and sincere, like informal advice from an old friend.

Namgungseung smiled bitterly.

“Maybe I am the most troubled person here.”

Jong-ri-baek, who was watching Namgung-seung quietly, got up with a loud noise.

A look of puzzlement appeared on Namgungseung’s face.

“Don’t you want any more?”

“I was going to have a drink and discuss the superiority of swords, but I lost the mood because of how inarticulate I was.”

“My agony and victory are in a different realm.”

“You have to burn off your worries to make the game more fun. Besides, I have two more interesting partners than you right now.”

“If there are two of you…?”

A subtle look of anticipation appeared on Zhong Libai’s face.

“Isn’t it unprecedented that so many saints have gathered in one place? In that case, I should indulge in the enlightenment of those who are called emperors and kings other than myself.”

* * *

“Whoa.”

Mo Yong-woo’s body was soaked with sweat as he dispersed the military forces that had finished training and was left alone swinging his sword.

Even the cold mountain air could not cool Mo Yong-woo’s intense passion and fiery desire. There was a faint tremor in his hand as he held the great sword Tang Demon God Sword.

‘I can’t swing it anymore.’

Okay.

Although he did not show it to others, Mo Yong-woo repeated the training to the limit of his strength and endurance two or three times a day.

The reason I was able to remain fine in front of my unit members was because I was accustomed to quick recovery after extreme training.

Wooooow.

A green energy surged from Mo Yong-woo’s entire body.

As soon as the Qiangon Eight Extreme Heart Method is used, a deep blue energy attracts natural energy from all directions.

It was a horribly honed technique. The martial arts themselves are great, but Mo Yong-woo’s enlightenment in improving the martial arts to fit his own situation shines.

‘The world is wide.’

It was only a glimpse.

In just one second, I filled up 30% of the energy I had consumed. It was a speed that no one could easily believe.

However, Mo Yong-woo felt inadequate.

‘Since when did I put a limit on myself when there are so many talented people in the world?’

Although Mo Yong-woo did not show it on the outside, he felt an indescribable shock upon seeing Yeon Ho-jeong, who had returned to Mang.

However, in the meantime, I gained enlightenment once again and entered a deeper state.

It took less than three days for me to come to enlightenment and attain enlightenment. It was truly an achievement beyond imagination.

‘What is lacking?’

As the head of the Uijeonggun, it was his responsibility to control and train the soldiers under his command.

However, just because you are responsible for the soldiers, you cannot neglect training as an individual warrior. I thought he did his best too.

But looking back now, I wonder if I really did my best.

‘The theme was different.’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s talent is far superior to his own. Mo Yong-woo acknowledged it.

However, it is not because he is so talented that he reached the top level faster than he did. Mo Yong-woo knew that.

‘Even before Yeonje ascended to the ranks of martial arts, he led his soldiers well. Nevertheless, I reached Seongcheon faster than anyone else. ‘It is not a position achieved solely through talent.’

The sweat would have been similar to that of Yeonhojeong. Still, there is such a difference.

Is it a difference in actual experience? Of course, that cannot be ruled out either.

‘different.’

Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sank deeply.

‘No amount of factors can explain Yeonje’s achievement. What is it?’

Mo Yong-woo is alone in his agony.

As he looked down at the training ground floor, he suddenly felt that his vision had darkened.

And then a single voice is heard.

“You seem to be worried a lot.”

I raised my head.

At that moment, Mo Yong-woo felt his eyes dazzle.

In front of him was a golden warrior with a comfortable smile.

“I came here because I have something to tell you, but the atmosphere is strange.”

“Yeonje.”

“yes.”

Mo Yong-woo’s eyes trembled.

“Please enlighten me.”
