Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 934

Episode 934

Truth (1)

“….”

The old monk, who looked like a dry old tree, opened his eyes.

How long has it been since your eyes opened? The fluid that flowed down my cheek hardened and looked like the sap of a pine tree.

The old monk raised his head and looked at the wall.

My vision became very blurry. It seemed as if my Buddhist training skills, which I had practiced my whole life, had suddenly fallen below 30%.

But it’s still okay. Because I don’t think I’ll die right away.

The old monk opened his mouth.

“What is going on….”

We stayed silent for too long. The thick voice seemed to cut out in the middle of speaking.

“It’s been a long time since I went into deep meditation. It was short, but it was deeper than ever.”

Then a shadow appeared behind him.

the shadow asked.

“Was it peaceful?”

“Is that possible? I am a blind person who has not been able to understand even a single grain of Buddhism. “Because enlightenment is not deep, there can be no peace.”

“It can be said that such enlightenment is remarkable enough in an environment where one can become the most lazy.”

The old monk smiled.

He was so thin that his appearance was reminiscent of an inner ear, but his weak smile looked very kind.

“I’m just grateful.”

“I should be the one to thank you.”

“How is it. Are you feeling better?”

“Thanks to.”

“Hehe, I’m glad.”

The shadow behind the old monk slowly sat cross-legged.

The old monk shook his head without even turning around.

“Don’t do that, armed adult.”

“Do you still call me that?”

“I have lived long enough. Of course, this is not something I would say in front of an armed adult.”

“I lived a long time. “I’m just abnormal.”

“haha.”

“But you can live longer. “Shouldn’t you at least stay alive until your disciple takes over the title of Gwonsin?”

“What is the importance of titles?”

“If it weren’t for me in the first place, my life wouldn’t have been shortened. “I feel responsible to you.”

“It shouldn’t be like that.”

“….”

“Thanks to the armed adults, countless civilians survived. “If I can help Eun-gong save the world, that’s enough for me.”

“There is no reason to live and breathe anymore.”

“What do you think?”

The shadow was silent for a moment.

After half each.

“It’s been a long time since I forgot the passage of time. So I don’t know exactly when. Roughly between five and eight years. “Maybe it was even longer ago.”

“….”

“The God Jade is broken.”

“…!!”

There was surprise on the old monk’s face.

“It’s broken?”

“That’s right. “Seeing that there is no great emotion even though the object is broken, I feel that I have become a lot more dull.”

It would not be strange to say that beyond becoming dull, the emotions one should feel had almost disappeared.

Shinok was an object that made this shadow forget the passage of time. In other words, the breaking of the divine prison meant that the shadow had returned to being an ordinary person.

“If my body had been fine, I would have come to you as soon as I broke down. “I must have come and retrieved the hell energy that settled in your body.”

“You don’t have to worry about me.”

“I feel sorry for you, but I don’t feel sorry for you. “I still said I was sorry, but now I don’t even know how those feelings affected me.”

The old monk felt sad.

This shadow has survived until now, transcending times that ordinary people cannot even imagine.

Even when he was a military commander, he lived for the world, and even when he jumped through time, he lived for the world. And now, his emotions have worn away and he has become a monster that is difficult to recall from his normal days.

“Now I have only one feeling left. “No, I don’t know if it’s a feeling, but I want something.”

“What is?”

“tranquility.”

“….”

“The first hundred years were good. From the next hundred years onwards, it started to fail. And for the past ten years, I have not been able to find a reason why I am alive.”

“You don’t have to have a reason to live.”

“Of course it is.”

There was no particular emotion felt in the answer. I couldn’t tell if he was saying that because he truly felt that way or if he was just showing a general reaction that was ingrained in him.

“I feel exhausted.”

“Thank you for your hard work. So live the rest of your life happily and peacefully.”

“I can’t be at peace just because I have the rest of my life left.”

“What can I say, having never lived the life of an armed adult? But I remember. “The look in his eyes at that time is what the military commander said to me ten years ago.”

“What did I say?”

“He said that someday, whenever he has time, he would like to pass on the lifelong study he had honed to his descendants.”

“….”

The old monk thought that the shadow’s energy was somehow shaking a little.

The old monk continued speaking in a much softer voice.

“There are many talented people in the world. There are many people with good character. So, please find the person who has studied and accumulated his entire life and hand it over to you.”

“It’s a shame.”

“of course.”

“But it’s troublesome to search the whole world to find the next person.”

“Of course, you don’t necessarily need to find a successor. For too long, you have lived for someone other than yourself. What’s more, he risked his life for others whom he never saw.”

“Is that so? “Did I really do that?”

“Maybe it was also for the armed adult himself. But that doesn’t matter. “The only thing that is certain is that you haven’t had a deep conversation with yourself for a long time.”

“How do you know that?”

“Even if you don’t have the power to shake a mountain, even if you don’t have the martial arts to split the sea, even if you don’t have the eyes to understand the laws of the world, if you live long enough, you will learn such things.”

“….”

“In other words, you have lived much longer than me, but you still don’t know it.”

The old monk closed his eyes.

“It’s okay to just walk around aimlessly. However, I don’t think that peace comes only when you die.”

“is it.”

“It’s okay to try to find disciples, and it’s okay to reflect on yourself. “I hope you at least get a good rest.”

“Good rest….”

“When you die, there comes peace… Right. It may be so. But true tranquility means completion and closure.”

“….”

“Many people around the world end their lives unexpectedly. “Whether it is intentional or not, it is truly unfortunate.”

“….”

“I don’t know if you were unhappy, but you’ve had a hard enough life, so wouldn’t it be a bad idea to live the rest of your life and find ways to find peace? “There is no reason to choose the easiest path to death when you can obtain it alive.”

The shadow opened its mouth.

“You have a point.”

“I really appreciate it if you thought that way.”

“Actually, I should have changed when Shinok was broken. “But looking at you like this, it seems like death is still early, just like you said.”

“Hehehe.”

“There’s just something strange.”

“which?”

The shadow’s voice became faint.

“I don’t know what, but… I feel like someone is calling me. “I thought I had finally gone crazy, but after talking with you, I guess that’s not the case.”

“Did you feel someone calling you?”

“I woke up from my meditation when I heard the call. “To be exact, I woke up from a dream after hearing that call.”

“What kind of dream is this?”

“A dream that opens the final remaining path for the disciple.”

“…!”

“No, I don’t know if it’s the last time. It’s just… It’s as if a student I taught a long time ago came to Hwangryong and said various things. “My memory of that part is not clear.”

When the old monk opened his eyes again, turbulence appeared on his face.

Hwangryong.

Something that is martial but is also not martial.

It was a great new skill, but it was, so to speak, enlightenment. Just as the Tao (?) is difficult to describe in words or writing, Hwangryong could also be said to be the Tao (Tao) of martial arts.

In other words, awakening the Yellow Dragon is not much different from a monk mastering the Buddhist law and reaching the state of Buddha.

Of course, the old monk did not know much about Hwangryong. It was the same principle as saying that a person whose name was not listed on the Buddhist register did not know much about Buddhist scriptures.

However, when I received the old hell message, I had a conversation with the shadow for over half a day.

The discourse was full of unimaginable principles of martial arts. And the shadow said that Hwangryong was the one who put together the principles of martial arts that had been laid out so far.

Hwangryong. Emperor Huanglong.

Shadow, or rather, chatting with the Yellow Dragon Emperor, the old monk’s level surpassed two levels.

And the old monk realized. That for him, martial arts is nothing more than a means. At the same time, true martial arts, like Buddhism, cannot be described in words or writing.

‘Still, I’m glad.’

The fact that a disciple who was not under his command opened the Yellow Dragon does not mean that the Yellow Dragon Emperor’s subconscious desires a disciple.

“Did you like the content of the dream?”

“I like it… yes, I like it. “I think I will be really happy if that day comes.”

“Why do you think you’ll be happy?”

The shadow hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

“I have no children.”

“Of course.”

“If by any chance there is someone I can take as my disciple, that person will be someone I would give my all to.”

“Of course you will.”

“If someone who could give me everything in my painful life appeared, talent and such would not matter. “I guess I was just born with a natural talent to build a relationship.”

“….”

“If a guy like that got to Hwangryong, I wouldn’t have to tell him to be careful anymore, so what would be such a good thing?”

A sorrowful look appeared on the old monk’s face.

Not to prove myself. It’s not because the student is special.

Reaching Hwangryong was the path to absolute invincibility. Now that you have opened the door to that path, you will be able to live well in this harsh world without much risk.

That’s why I’m happy. Emperor Huanglong could be happy simply because his pityful yet wonderful, affectionate yet worrisome disciple could live his own life in this harsh world without worrying about his life.

‘It’s not that you don’t feel anything. Even at this very moment, you are stricter and more kind than anyone else.’

The old monk said with a smile.

“I hope you raise disciples.”

“First, I need to retrieve the hell energy from your body.”

“This is the mandate I have set for myself. It’s okay, now let’s go out into the world…”

That was then.

hook!

The Yellow Dragon Emperor’s prayer was shaken for an instant.

“Why are you doing that?”

“….”

“Armed adult?”

“…It is a yellow dragon.”

“yes?”

“….”

“Armed adult.”

“I felt the yellow dragon. No, is this what I felt?…”

“…?”

“Is there anyone else in the Tang Jin world who awakened the Yellow Dragon besides me?!”

The old monk could not tell whether Emperor Huanglong was truly referring to a person who had mastered Huanglonggong or a person who had reached the path through martial arts.

However, I was able to say this one thing.

“Go and see.”

“….”

“We can last another ten years. So go and check it out.”

There was no answer.

The old monk could see that the shadow had disappeared.

He closed his eyes again.

“Be a disciple… “You bastard, the poor master has not even seen the end of Buddhism, so you must enter nirvana.”
