Episode 552
Duck meat gravy Soryongpo.
“Originally, duck produces a lot of fat. I used it to make a small dragon gun. “The chef caught the scent really well, didn’t he?”
Jin Cheon-hee took a bite of Soryongpo and simply savored it.
“Ha… it’s really delicious. “I need to invite this chef.”
The head office of Baekrin Uigak has already become a place like a mecca of taste where all of the world’s most renowned chefs have gathered.
Of course, the main menu is, as expected from Uigak, herbal medicine dishes, but that does not mean the skill goes nowhere.
Cheonwoo thought.
‘The medicinal herbs will be added to these duck dumplings, and the duck herbal medicine Soryongpo will be completed.’
Sima Hui ordered additional Xiaolongpo and said.
“Now that I think about it, the Joint Faction and Hwaju Gak have joined hands ahead of the Battle of Jeongsa. What do you plan on doing about the Non-Party Faction?”
“ah.”
Cheonwoo scratched his cheek with a hand the size of a pot lid and spoke reluctantly.
“Sama Soge…. Maybe the Murim Alliance will be disbanded.”
“yes?”
“yes. Um… As you know, the Murim Alliance is divided into swordsmen dispatched from political factions and swordsmen directly under the Murim Alliance trained directly by the Murim Alliance, right?”
“Yes.”
Sima Hui nods and puts the fried gyoza into her mouth.
The hot fried gyoza breaks between the teeth, creating hot gravy.
When you add Rayu to it, there is no separate paradise.
“Among the nine factions, our shamans, Shaolin, Hwasan faction, and Open faction are against the political war. Among the eight major families, the Namgung family also opposed the Sacheondang family and the Gongson family.”
“There was more opposition than I thought.”
“yes. There is also a representative part. To put it bluntly, it is also because the benefits gained during peacetime are greater than those gained during a civil war.”
“Hoo. “Isn’t it because of the business we are doing with Baeklin Uigak?”
“yes. indeed. You noticed it right away. Clan factions whose interests are intertwined with Baeklin’s Gak naturally have no choice but to stay away from political warfare. Because it is much more profitable that way. But there is one more thing.”
Cheonwoo ate gyoza together this time.
As a Taoist, vegetarianism is recommended, but meat-eating is not completely prohibited.
Additionally, it is not polite to be picky about the food you buy.
Cheonwoo continued.
“And one more thing, since the Apostolic Training is said to be difficult these days, there are some elders who predict that it will self-destruct if time goes by like this.”
“It’s easy for Safa to split when money is insufficient, so this is a ploy aimed at that.”
“There is no such thing as a plan. “Because I’m waiting.”
The two people talk back and forth.
Suddenly, I realized that Jin Cheonhee was just looking at the two of them in silence.
Sima Hui asked.
“What do you think, Eunkong?”
“Hmm….”
I
take a bite of the crispy fried gyoza and think for a moment.
Finally, Jin Cheon-hee spoke.
“Since you both are going to sleep tomorrow, do you think I should send you off to sleep first?”
“…You’re not telling me. “Eun-gong.”
Cheonwoo also added a word.
“You didn’t even reveal your true feelings to King Gwon. “My brother.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
Then I ordered the most expensive dish in the store.
“Give me a sea bream sweet and sour!”
“Oh oh! Great cooperation! Okay! “Let’s get rid of it right away!”
Not long ago, I was chewing on a bitter snack that I made incorrectly.
This time, I ordered a sumptuous sea bream soup.
The two people couldn’t figure out who Jin Cheon-hee was.

Several days passed.
The Yongbong branch continued.
Sima Hye was eliminated in the semifinals. This is because the opponent was a supreme expert.
“It’s amazing that we’ve come this far. “I have no regrets.”
In the middle, a military officer from Hwaseongak came out and was able to beat them with all their might.
That day she ate two bowls of rice.
The winner was Cheonwoo. If it were natural, wouldn’t it be natural?
Because no one other than Tianyu had ascended to the Hwagyeong.
“Isn’t this a foul? No, if I had a conscience, the shaman should not have allowed Cheonwoo Dojang to compete!”
“That’s right! “Isn’t it strange if we lose?”
In response to the shouts of other scholars, Shaman Gwonje said, ‘Khehehehe! If you do, try raising him as your disciple Hwa-gyeong! Or you can attack me now!’
It was like that.
If you’re a fist, you’re a fist. If you’re older, you’re older.
In the world of Confucianism with swords, I can’t fight with anything because I’ve grown old enough to hold a sword.
“I’m going to throw a party to celebrate my brother’s wedding anniversary. Would you like to come together?”
Jin Cheon-hee shook her head at Cheon-woo’s words.
“Sorry. It’s a non-partisan event. And I have work to do.”
Cheonwoo looked slightly disappointed.
“I’ll send other lawmakers instead.”
After saying that, he left.
Cheonwoo watched his brother’s back for a long time.
* * *
The temporary treatment center at Baekrin Uigak was quite deserted.
It was natural.
Quite a few patients are falling into the fireworks, and the Yongbong branch ended without any trouble.
An unmanned person stood in the middle of an empty treatment center.
“Are you a messenger sent by the Murim Alliance?”
“How did you know that?”
“….”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee just smiled with blue eyes.
“Let me guess. Now that the Yongbong Branch is over, a meeting of the leaders of the Murim Alliance must have been held. “He must have sent a messenger to call me.”
“Are you also learning astrology?”
When the lion grunted, Jin Cheon-hee responded.
“I found some decent tea leaves. “It would be nice for everyone to share.”
“What car is it?”
“It’s hawthorn tea. It’s good for indigestion. And it also lowers blood pressure. “It would be helpful because our elders probably have high blood pressure.”
I smiled and took the can of tea.
Kung-
He stroked Hwanggu’s forehead once.
‘Is the real fight finally starting?’
Just like that, Jin Cheon-hee walked after the messenger of the Murim Alliance.

Murim Alliance Convention Chairman.
There is a huge chair that resembles a throne.
The Murim lord Akjin was sitting there.
To the left and right are seated the heads of the eight major families of Gupa Ilbang and their clan owners.
No one was under the illusion that just because the Murim Lord’s chair was extravagant, his authority would be as well.
Because all of those gathered here are the best leaders of the Murim Alliance.
Jin Cheon-hee was also sitting in one of those seats, in the last seat furthest from the Murim Lord’s seat.
The top-quality refreshment was served with mountain shaman tea that Jin Cheon-hee requested.
Sansa tea was brought down in front of the other monks to check whether it was poisonous and to confirm that there was no problem, but no one tasted it.
Jin Cheon-hee was the only one who enjoyed wild tea and refreshments alone.
‘hmm. ‘It was cooked properly.’
The combination of red beans is exquisite.
‘Strictly speaking, Baekrin Uigak is not a member of the Murim Alliance, so it is understandable that it is Malseok… If that is the case, then why did they call it? I heard that in peacetime, Master also attended this meeting…’
Master Zhugelin said that he attended the great meeting held at Yongfeng Branch and discussed the interests of Jiang Hu.
However, he also said that if something really important happened, Zhuge Lin could not participate in the meeting, and that this great meeting itself would last at least ten days.
Anyway, everyone gathered in the conference room.
It is even bizarre that the heads of each clan quietly look at each other without saying a word.
‘Maybe they’re having a conversation using electromagnetic waves, right? Everyone is terrible…’
That was when I thought.
Dokgoseon, who was standing next to Lord Akjin’s seat, struck the gong next to him with the fan he was holding.
Damn!
“Then, we will begin the Murim Alliance’s grand meeting.”
After hearing General Dok Go-seon’s words, everyone looked at the leader.
“I will start the conversation with Geodujeolmi. Everyone knows about the actions of the Apostolic Alliance. “Everyone probably has some kind of information organization.”
Everyone remains silent at the words of leader Ak-jin.
“But not all of the Apostolic Alliance want war. Hao Mun and the ghost faction are against war. In addition, Haesabang and Odokmun are on the verge of extinction or being dismantled, and Nokrimsib8chae and Hwangha Janggangsulochae have their power reduced by about half.”
As he says that, Akjin looks this way.
Jin Cheon-hee pretended not to notice his gaze and just enjoyed the refreshments.
I thought it would add some sort of chuimsae.
‘Are you truly trying to insist on neutrality? ‘It’s the same for both the teacher and the student.’
With that thought in mind, Akjin continued speaking.
“Recently, there has been a conflict between the blood faction and the blue saint faction, so their power has been reduced even more. In other words, the power of the Apostolic Alliance is only about half of what it used to be. In fact, if there is a war, I guess we will win.”
“Amitabha Buddha. “Isn’t there something wrong with the Lord’s words?”
Master Wonseon, a divine monk.
The wrinkled old monk sits in his monk’s robe.
Although he is small and old, no one can ignore him.
Because he is the chief priest of Shaolin Temple.
Ambassador Wonseon, representing Shaolin, speaks again.
“I heard that this old monk has joined hands with outside forces. North Sea Ice Palace. And it is said that Seojang Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism and Soreoeumsa Temple were also moved.”
“squeaker. “Is that true?”
“So Lei Yin Temple….”
“Do you mean the Beihai Ice Palace has come out?”
Everyone is buzzing as if this is their first time hearing this news.
‘North Sea Ice Palace… Is it a gate located in a place similar to the Russian region? Bingbaekshingong is the main force. Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism and Soreoeumsa also appeared on the Most Holy Demon. Both are sects between the Kingdom of Dadu and the Church of Serim… It felt like a mixture of Indian Buddhism and a pseudo-religion…’
Jin Cheon-hee quietly thinks to herself.
The Beihai Ice Palace is usually white and has many people within the walls.
On the other hand, Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism and Soroeumsa feel closer to India or Thailand.
In fact, it is expressed that way in many novels.
‘Now that I think about it… Is the source of Buddhism in this town also near the Kingdom of Dadu?’
Dadu Kingdom is not the only one nearby.
If you cross the huge desert to the west from the Dadu Kingdom, you will reach the Kingdom of Serim, but there were several other kingdoms in between.
There were many countries based in desert oases and jungle areas, and there were sects such as Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism, Soreumsa, Daeroeumsa, and Podalapgung in those areas.
‘There were many sects in the Supreme Heavenly Demon that weren’t even mentioned.’
As I received training as an incinerator at Baekrin Uigak, I came to know many facts and information that did not appear in the Supreme Heavenly Demon. One of them is the martial arts world.
The Hua Empire are arrogant people who call themselves the Central Plains.
That is why similar rivers and lakes in other regions are called extraterrestrial martial forests.
However, strictly speaking, out-of-world martial arts was the wrong word.
Because the culture of each country and region was different, organizations located in other regions were naturally very different from the powerful factions.
In the first place, there were many things they learned that were difficult to consider martial arts.
Didn’t Ilkana alone master the chakra unique to the Serim Church?
“It is no wonder that they are attracting the evil Hwanhee Esoteric Buddhism and the Soreumsa Temple as allies. But why on earth does the North Sea Ice Palace say they are forming an alliance with them?”
Seolgyeon, the ark of openness, answered the question of Doseon Jinin, a scholar of the Jongnam faction.
“We’re looking into it, but nothing has come out yet.”
“Hmm…”
It was obvious that everyone was thinking more about the new information.
