Episode 1099. Volcanization of the entire central plain? (4)
“Bangjang…”
Beopgye swallowed dry saliva and carefully opened his mouth.
“It’s not like the monk doesn’t know what the master is talking about…”
The court’s sword-like gaze pierced through the legal world.
For a moment, Beopgye felt the urge to close her mouth and bit her lip, but then opened her mouth again. You should not put off giving advice just because you are afraid. If that happens, everything will really go wrong.
“Mr. Manager… if you were really concerned about the situation, wouldn’t it have been right to have a serious discussion when Hwasan Jangmun came? Blaming them after everything is over…”
“Discussion?”
A cold voice flowed from the court’s mouth, interrupting the court’s words.
“Who should I discuss it with?”
“Hyeonjong of the volcano…”
“You mean that scarecrow?”
The legal world closed its eyes tightly.
No matter what happens, you should never call a scholar from another sect a scarecrow. This would be an extreme humiliation even for a small or medium-sized sect, but would it be so great for a sect the size of a volcano?
The court is also not unaware of this fact. Befitting his supreme position as the leader of Shaolin, he has been extremely careful in his words and actions.
However, in recent years, courts have frequently lost their senses when it comes to volcano-related matters.
‘No…’
A strange light appeared in Fa-gye’s eyes.
Would the person he knew called Court really use such an expression to someone out of simple hostility? …really?
‘What was I thinking!’
The legal world quickly erased the doubts that arose in his mind. That was something completely unimaginable. How could it be that Beopjeong, the leader of Shaolin, would feel any competition towards King Hyeonjong, who was merely a scholar of the Hwasan Dynasty?
At that moment, the court was shocked.
“What is the meaning of discussing with King Hyeonjong? “Are you saying this because you don’t know who really decides important matters in Hwasan?”
“…That…”
“Hyeonjong may not know. If that person is a good person, he might not be able to guess what it means for Hwasan to go to Gangnam and how that evil gang will take advantage of them. one!”
The court ground its teeth.
“That Hwasan Sword Association! “Do you really think he headed to Gangnam because he couldn’t predict this whole situation?”
The legal world closed its mouth like a clam. The court openly laughed.
“That can’t be possible. Wouldn’t that guy, who seemed to have ten snakes in his stomach, not know this structure? I went despite knowing it clearly! Even though I knew it!”
The legal world also did not dare to refute these words.
Considering the abilities of the Hwasan Sword Association that he had observed so far, it was even more strange that he could not have predicted all of this.
“Those who constantly talk about consultation and the common people with their mouths could not tolerate their short-lived sense of publicness and ended up driving all the common people of Gangnam into hell! This time was truly an opportunity to destroy that scam and liberate Gangnam! “This is how you get that genius opportunity!”
The court’s face turned bright red. The old monk who had been pursuing Buddhism just a little while ago was nowhere to be seen.
“That’s strange! What a wicked thing! Their intentions are clearly visible to me! If you endure just a little bit of shame, endure a little bit of criticism, and wait, you can bring peace to the world! You mean to ruin it like this! That’s the way of volcanoes!”
It was frost-like anger.
“furthermore!”
The court’s hand, clutching the hem of the lyrics, trembled.
“Why do you mean you colluded with those Sapa bastards to do something like this?”
“….”
“If Hwasan had done all of this on his own instead of joining hands with Jang Il-so, he would have been foolish and angry, but he would not have doubted their sincerity! however! How on earth should I accept the fact that those who advocated for Jeong fought together with the leaders of Sapa? Those who died in the Black Dragon House and the vengeful spirit of Namgung, who died in Maehwa Island, are still wandering the nine heavens! “Are you joining hands with Sapae-ryeon?”
The court spoke as if spitting fire. The dharma’s body was trembling due to its extreme wrath.
But what followed was not an angry shout, but empty laughter.
“Huh… heh heh….”
The court suddenly burst into laughter and shook its head.
“It’s hard…. It’s just hard.”
“…the room manager.”
“Those who know nothing will now praise volcanoes. And I will also praise Jang Il-so. It means that he protected the midfield against that terrible demonic religion. And they will blame us. “Where on earth were we?”
The legal world fell silent.
If you only look at the revealed circumstances, this statement is not incorrect. Isn’t it true that Shaolin did nothing in the Hangzhou uprising?
Or, to put it bluntly, the legal world was confused as to what role Shaolin played in the recent series of events that shook Kangho.
Aren’t you always taking a step back and waiting for the situation to ripen, only to have your players stolen by those sapaeryeons or volcanoes?
The legal world opened its mouth in a sombre tone.
“…the room manager. “It’s just my opinion… but considering the gravity of the name ‘Demon Cult’, I think it’s something we shouldn’t have waited this long for.”
The court quietly glared at the legal world.
A voice like a lament came out from the mouth of the court, which had been oppressing the legal system with such heavy silence for a long time.
“Is that what you think too?”
“That’s not it…”
The court cut off the sentence in a calm voice.
“That’s why we had to wait even longer.”
“…yes? “That’s…”
“Don’t you know?”
The court said, glaring at the legal world.
“If Hwasan was truly concerned about Demonicism, if he was alert to them, he should have tried to join hands with us instead of hastily rushing to Gangnam. Or, to put it more bluntly, you should have bowed your head to us!”
“Babangjang… Cheonwoomaeng is no longer a small alliance.”
“What does that mean?”
The court gritted its teeth.
“Who are those people you mentioned who were in the Cheonwoo League?”
“That’s….”
“Sacheondangga, who was rejected as an apostle even by political factions. The Namgung family lost power and had nowhere to go! And Hwasan, who was kicked out of the new and old factions and was not even treated as a member of the Central Plains!”
“….”
“Among them, is there really a faction that exerts great influence on the Gangho?”
“…Not really.”
“Everyone is only looking at the facade! everyone!”
thud!
He slapped the floor as if he was frustrated in the courtroom.
“Just because Hwasan defeated Jong-nam, did Jong-nam bow down to Hwasan?”
“….”
“Just because the volcano defeated the shaman, did the shaman give up his place to the volcano?”
“No, boss.”
“That is the limitation of the sect called Hwasan and the limit of the alliance called Cheonwoomaeng. No matter how active they are and how much they expand their position, will those proud nobles from the nine factions and one faction try to come under Hwasan’s command?”
The legal world could not bear to answer this question.
Can you imagine Shaolin changing his stance right now, bowing his head to the volcano and becoming a warrior?
no. That can never happen.
Perhaps other Gufilebangs are thinking similarly. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were an openness that didn’t care about respect and pride?
“…Just because I am the leader of Shaolin does not mean that we should unite around Shaolin. Do you know why Shaolin became the center of each upheaval in Gangho?”
“That’s…”
“Because they only take a step back when dealing with Shaolin! Needless to say, if Emperor Nangong were still alive, would he have given up his position as the head of the Five Great Families and joined the Heavenly Alliance?”
“….”
“Cheonwoomaeng cannot unite the strong and the powerful. That’s why the Cheonwoomaeng is trying to expand its power by gathering only those who it can easily get its hands on. Even though we know that such actions are causing a clear division in the midfield!”
The court’s shoulders trembled with anger.
“Do you understand what I mean?”
“…Yes, Bangjang.”
The legal world nods its head without realizing it.
There was actually nothing wrong with what the court said.
No matter how much I think about it, I cannot picture Chun Woo-maeng subjugating the famous family of Gupailbang, the existing powerhouse in the midfield. In the end, the stronger the Cheonwoo Alliance becomes, the more clearly Gangbuk becomes divided into two forces: the Cheonwoo Alliance and the Gu faction and one party.
Moreover, aren’t those two forces already building up deep animosity towards each other?
Even if we don’t specifically use Shaolin as an example, Hwasan and Gupa Ilbang had a relationship that couldn’t be good for each other in the first place. As I keep burying things that should have been resolved long ago, the wounds are festering and rotting away.
“Do you think they don’t know that?”
“….”
“Is there really a place for the nine factions in the Cheonwoo Alliance they are envisioning?”
“That’s…”
“But how long do I have to show mercy to them? How long should we think of them as people we have to embrace? Even Buddha did not show mercy to Mara. But how long should I, who dare not reach that deep meaning, endure?”
Death came out of the court’s eyes.
It was the court that first recognized the volcano’s potential and supported them. And the volcano lived up to his expectations even more than he expected. That’s why they sent Hyeyeon, who was naturally timid and weak, to them to learn their courage.
Even though he sometimes showed undesirable behavior, moderate indulgence should be allowed for those with ability. Therefore, I tried to treat them with waiting rather than condemnation.
But….
‘Now I can’t sit by and watch their self-indulgence any longer.’
If Buddhism had tried to solve everything with mercy, there would have been no such thing as a precept to punish those who broke the precepts.
Rotten shoots must be cut off.
Otherwise, even other healthy sprouts will rot. The rotten sprout called volcano has already created numerous diseases. If the division continues to accelerate like this, we may not be able to handle even that evil faction, let alone the Demonic Cult.
“…I didn’t even know I was playing around.”
The court bit its lips. Eventually, thick blood began to seep from his lips.
“You should have heard that then.”
“Director?”
“no.”
The court shook its head.
“If we leave it like this, it will get out of control. Call it open. “I need to interrogate Cheon Woo-maeng on the part where he joined hands with the Sapae-ryeon.”
“At a time like this?”
When the court was surprised and asked, the court remained silent and just glared with cold eyes. In the end, Beopgye stood up and bowed his head.
“I will.”
“Hurry.”
“yes!”
The legal world rushed outside.
The court, left alone, slowly turned its head and stared at the burning lamp. Even though there was not a single breeze blowing in the room, the lamp kept shaking. It was as if his inner thoughts were now revealed.
“Hwasan…. Hwasan Sword Association Cheongmyeong.”
Grumbling.
The court clenched its fists as if they were about to explode and then let out a long breath. Then, as if to calm his mind, he stretched out his hand and lightly grabbed the wooden table that had fallen on the floor.
Damn it.
At that moment, the wooden table with his hands cracked.
The court looked blankly down at the cracked wooden table. Unable to take his eyes off him for a long time, a hollow laugh escaped his lips.
“Huh… heh heh.”
The lamp flickered even more violently.
“Hehehehehehe. Hehehehehehehehe!”
In a room where no one approached, only the old monk’s helpless laughter continued to leak out.
