Episode 831 Go to your head and argue about that. (1)
The court remained silent for a long time with their faces stiff.
Beopgye could not bear to look him in the eyes and lowered his head.
“…is everything you said so far true?”
“Bangjang…”
Beopgye could only make a moaning sound and could not answer. Even if you have ten mouths, there is nothing to say, which is an expression used in times like this.
“Huh…”
The court laughed at the fact that it was so unbelievable.
“You signed an agreement with Safa? A unilateral agreement that only this side cannot advance into Gangnam, including the Yangtze River?”
“….”
“What the hell….”
He couldn’t finish his words and let out a deep sigh.
‘It was my mistake.’
It was not about sending the legal world. If he was going to send most of Shaolin’s forces, he should have led Shaolin himself. At best, it was a matter of dealing with numerous enemies, and it was not something that should have been sent to the legal system.
“Oh, you foolish person. How on earth are we going to resolve this matter… Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha.”
The court muttered and shook its head repeatedly. The legal world that had to watch this felt like it had swallowed a stone.
“Director… if something goes wrong, please kick me out.”
“Did you mean you?”
“yes. Wouldn’t it be okay to just say that I did it without the owner’s permission and that Shaolin’s intentions are different? It may be difficult for me to raise my face, but Shaolin….”
“That’s foolish!”
A shout came from the mouth of the court.
“That would only belittle Shaolin’s name. How would the world view Shaolin if he did something like that just to survive? From now on, words that do not come directly from my mouth will become light words that can be reversed at any time. “That would undermine the status of Shaolin.”
“….”
“It’s an external channel. It’s a scam. “I understand, but…”
If it weren’t for a proposal as unconventional as this, there is no way that Jang Il-so would have obediently let go of those who came into his belly.
But…
‘How on earth should I resolve this matter?’
If it were just a year ago, it might not have been such a big deal. No matter how hateful the Gupailbang and the Odaesae do, if there is no Bibil Hill, they will end up relying on them again.
But not now.
“I never would have thought that the result of neglecting the establishment of the Cheonwoo Alliance would turn out like this…” The
court was the one who supported the Cheonwoo Alliance despite opposition from other factions. At the time, he did it because of various interests, but he could not have imagined that what he did would plunge Shaolin’s position into an abyss.
‘How can things go this far?’
If only he had not tolerated the opening of the Cheonwoo Meng faction.
If only Jang Il-so hadn’t organized the Sapae League and dug a trap in the Yangtze River.
If only Heo Do-jin had not made the extreme choice of throwing his face to the ground in order to save his disciples.
And if only Sapaeryeon had not bitten that extreme choice!
Even if just one of them hadn’t happened, it would have been something that could have been resolved somehow. But these are all meaningless assumptions. All of this happened in the end, and all that was left was to fix the status of the nine factions and the five generations that were being driven to the ground at this very moment.
“What was the reaction?”
“Cultural factions that did not go to the Yangtze River are demanding an explanation. And the rumor has not yet spread to Seongsan, so public sentiment is not boiling over, but this place will probably soon…” “I guess
so… It has to be that way. Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha….”
The court continued to chant as if it was frustrated.
Public sentiment is scary.
The common people usually tolerate a certain amount of persecution, but the moment they cross a certain line, they have the strength to rush into the imperial palace with farming tools.
The moment they become angry beyond disappointment at the old faction and the five major families, the downfall will begin quickly.
“What about Cheonwoo-maeng?”
“…yes?”
“What about volcanoes? “What about the volcano?”
Beopgye looked at me with a look on his face as if he had no idea what he meant, and then answered hesitantly.
“We got out of the Yangtze River first, so…”
The court’s eyes widened as if they couldn’t believe it.
“Are you saying you didn’t check what the volcano was doing?”
“The situation is…”
“…”
The court closed its eyes tightly. And I sighed inwardly.
‘Ah… how can I understand this…’
If Beop-gye had enough time to step away and observe the situation, he would have been keenly aware of Cheon Woo-maeng’s movements. Because it is not a legal world that cannot understand the fact that the people who will benefit the most when the nine factions fall are Hwasan and Cheonwoo-maeng.
But….
‘There is definitely a difference between watching from a distance and recognizing the situation in the middle of a storm.’
The same goes for the legal world and Heodo.
It is true that it is difficult to make a cool-headed decision in a rapidly changing situation, but I did not expect that I would panic so much and make an absurd choice.
A time when there was no war or conflict.
Those who have developed their strength through it may have become stronger, but they have not matured. Even the court did not know that he was no different from a strong child.
“Were there any signs of leaving the Yangtze River?”
“…Now that we think about it, we tried to leave quickly, but they didn’t show any signs of doing so.”
“I guess so… Yes I guess so. There’s no way that volcano god dragon would miss this opportunity.”
The court laughed out of frustration.
“You missed the timing. The rumor that we were in collusion with the Four Sects would have already spread throughout the world, but if we now say that Cheon U-maeng and the Four Sects made a secret pact, it would only sound like nonsense. You lost it. I lost everything. Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha….”
The court could not hide its bewilderment. The more this happened, the more distorted the face of the legal world became.
“sorry. Host…”
“It’s not your fault.”
The court shook its head.
It’s already happened. What difference will it make if you blame the legal system? What we need to think about now is how to somehow resolve what happened.
“Answer those who inquire that the treaty is true.”
“Hahaona….”
“It’s better than getting into trouble and then getting out of the way. “Just say that Shaolin will take responsibility for what it is responsible for.”
“…yes. “I will.”
“and!”
In an instant, a bright blue light flowed from the court’s eyes.
“It is no different because they are sects that were not there. “Tell them that they must keep in mind that since this is a treaty made in the name of the nine factions and the five generations, it must be kept.”
“Bar owner!”
The legal world widened its eyes.
“It happened because of our fault. But forcing that…”
“Do as you are told!”
The legal community remained silent in response to the court’s remarks.
The host’s face was so serious that he didn’t even dare to say words of persuasion.
“There will be a lot of backlash.”
“Can not help it.”
The court’s eyes were cold.
“Of course, losing public support and hearing complaints is not a good thing. But it’s not the worst. The worst thing is that Shaolin loses its control over the Nine Sects and the Five Great Families because of this incident.”
“….”
“Even if you are criticized, you must remain as the North Star of Wulin. If they rebel against our decision and act alone, the whole world will say that Shaolin is no longer the head of the nine sects. “That’s the only thing that needs to be stopped.”
Cold sweat began to form on Dharma’s forehead.
At this point, I couldn’t help but realize how big a mistake I had committed.
“And…”
“Yes, Bangjang.”
“I emphasize that the person who decided all of this is the shaman Heodo, and Shaolin will not receive visitors for a month from now.”
“Are you saying that you are sending a letter of thanks?”
“It’s not a seal. “We just don’t accept visitors.”
The court sighed deeply.
“You have to avoid the falling rain. Another solution is to not move until the storm calms down. “First, let’s see how public sentiment flows.”
After finishing speaking, the court chanted with a slightly tired expression.
Those who are angry will definitely find someone to blame. It is inevitable that the complaints of the nine factions and the five generations will be directed to Shaolin, but we must prevent the public from criticizing Shaolin.
In that case, we have no choice but to come up with an appropriate scapegoat.
“Shaman… Shaman will lose his position because of this. Heo too. “Huh… indeed…”
The court could not continue speaking and closed its eyes.
If you are in the position of leading a sect, you cannot help but wonder why Heo Do-jinin made such a choice. Moreover, don’t they know how the Hwasan sect has already fallen?
It would also be difficult for the court to endure if Shaolin fell like a volcano during his generation.
‘But no matter how much it is, there are degrees.’
I understand, but I am not convinced.
It was then that the court sighed and shook its head.
“Bar owner!”
An urgent voice came from outside the door.
“What’s going on?”
As Beophye quickly answered, the door opened and Beophyo hurried inside.
“We’re in big trouble.”
“Don’t be in a hurry and start talking. “What’s going on?”
“A shaman….”
As soon as he heard the word shaman, the court’s face hardened.
“It is said that the shaman Heo Do-jin has given up his position as Jangmun-in and is going into retirement.”
“what?”
The court jumped up from its seat, widened its eyes, and asked again.
“Is it absolutely true?”
“yes. “This is news delivered directly from the shaman.”
“Oh my…”
The court’s new voice was trembling.
I thought they would just say goodbye for a while to avoid complaints, but I never thought they would resort to such extreme measures.
‘Are you willing to take full responsibility?’
This is something that cannot be accomplished with even the slightest determination.
It is unprecedented for a Jang Moon-in, who once resigned from his position, to take that position again. This means that Heo Do-jin takes responsibility for this incident and completely resigns from his position as Jang Mun-in.
“What’s the next long sentence?”
“It is said that Heo Sanja, a priest of Heo Dojinin, will serve as temporary Jangmunin for a while.”
The court’s face became dumbfounded.
“What a stupid thing…”
The most foolish thing a person who has committed a crime can do is admit to it. People don’t know much about what happened there. You may be shocked and angry at the news you heard right away, but after your anger subsides a little, you may guess that there must have been a reason for it.
There are quite a few things that the Old School and the Five Generations have accumulated over the years, so there will definitely be those who defend it.
However, for Heo Do-jin-in to take responsibility for this incident and step down from the position of Jang Mun-in, it is ultimately the same as admitting that the Gu faction and the Five Great Families have made a big mistake.
“I have to meet Heo Do-jin in person.”
“…It’s difficult, boss. “It is said that the shaman will enter Bonmun for three months from now.”
“this…!”
In the end, blue blood appeared on the court’s face.
“What on earth are you doing! “Wow, this stupid guy!”
A thunderous roar burst out from the mouth of the court, which usually did not get angry.
“Why on earth did this come to this! why!”
My fingertips began to tremble with anger and shock.
It collapses.
At this moment, the martial order he had tried to protect, centered around the old faction, was falling apart.
‘Are you saying that the difficult times have already arrived?’
The moment the nine factions and the five major factions lose control, the world will no longer be as peaceful as it was in the past.
It was as if I could see Joongwon on fire before my eyes.
“I’m going to the Yangtze River. “You have to meet the volcano.”
“…the room manager. We… “You can’t go to the Yangtze River.”
At that moment, a look of bewilderment and deep despair fell on the faces of the courtroom.
He looked at the dharma world in silence, and after a while, he laughed mockingly. It was a mockery of the current situation.
“Hwasan’s long letter… No, send a letter to Lord Cheonwoo. “I ask to meet you sometime.”
“…yes.”
“As soon as this matter is over, please enter the Penance Hall. “I order you to meditate for half a year.”
“I will do as you command.”
“Hehehehe.”
The carefully built tower collapsed in one fell swoop. It was as if everything he had worked so hard to build was nothing more than a sand castle.
‘Sapaeryeon and Cheonwoomaeng’
I closed my eyes and chanted.
‘It’s difficult.’
For the first time, the court felt that Shaolin’s name was diminishing.
