Episode 957. Did something happen to the Shaolin Temple?
Master Cheonmun, the head of Arhat Party, muttered.
“Namcheon Daehyeop is from Green Forest… but isn’t he known as a righteous man? Why would he do this?”
Then Ambassador Gong Gong, a long writer, spoke in a firm tone.
“I need to find out about that now. The Arhat Party sends disciples to Hocheonmeng and Hebi to investigate what happened. In addition, all Shaolin disciples will be banned from entering the San Gate. For the disciples who have descended from the mountain, it is the order of the master craftsman to stop immediately and return, whether for alms or asceticism.”
He thought of meeting all the disciples in case something unsavory happened elsewhere.
The high priests of Shaolin Temple responded to Jang Mun-in’s instructions with the example of half-jointed hands.

Namjikryeseong.
Hoenan.
wabuho.
Shaolin Temple campsite.
Four people sat down from early morning in the tent used as a lodging for thirty-six members.
Hwacheon Dae Daeju Dosan Jinin, Hocheon Dae Daeju Sammugeom Ido, and the head of the Thirty-six Dongin, Ambassador Hyeonmun and his priest, Ambassador Seonmun.
“So how long are you going to be staying at Lake Wabu? We left Hocheonmaeng to go to Mugeukmun, not to stay in Wabuho.”
Ambassador Hyeonmoon replied with a puzzled face to the question of Ido, the head of Hocheon Daeju.
“Doesn’t the great lord of Hocheon know? That Namcheon Daehyeop went to Wabu Lake.”
“Yes, but he did not visit the Shaolin Temple camp. What would that mean? Doesn’t that mean you won’t get involved in Murim’s affairs as he said? However, it has been seven days and the Shaolin Temple has not moved. Do you know that the messenger of Wu-geuk-mun visits every morning and evening? I also went this morning. I have no excuses now.”
“For a third party, it might be thought that this is the intention of the Namcheon Grand Cooperation. However, at our Shaolin Temple, we can feel the calm before the storm.”
Ido patted my chest as if he was frustrated.
“The calm before the storm? If so, you should have come to Wabu Lake. Why don’t you know it’s just a thing of the past?”
However, Ambassador Hyeon-moon did not agree with Lee Do’s words.
“Don’t you know what Namcheon Daehyeop is like? He is the one who annihilated the spearhead of the Demonic Cult for killing one of his sworn brothers. As a result, even the head of the Demonic Cult died. It may take hundreds of years for the Demonic Cult to recover its former vigor. The Demonic Cult was destroyed with a single bond made during the Green Forest era. However, Namgungcheon became an obsolete person to our 36 members. Do you think you’ll just pass it on?”
“Grunt!”
The word ‘yes’ came to Lee Do’s throat, but he suppressed it.
To be honest, I came to persuade Shaolin Temple myself, but I wasn’t confident.
Change your position and what if you were Namcheon?
Thirty-six dongin must have been porridge right away.
Even more so, Namcheon is famous for doing things according to his temper.
It was natural for Ambassador Hyeon-moon to lower his stance and save himself.
The problem is that the long-awaited Seung-gi is gone, and Mugeuk-mun keeps asking why he doesn’t come in the morning and evening.
From the point of view of Mugeukmun, the inside will burn black.
Because they alone can’t deal with the Southern Alliance without the support of the Hocheon League.
Hwacheon Daeju Dosan Jinin sneaked in.
“If you are waiting for the visit of the Namcheon Daehyeop… can’t you do it at the Mugeuk Gate?”
From the mouths of Ambassador Hyeonmun and Ambassador Seonmun, ‘Hmm!’ A silent voice came out.
Know.
However, the thirty-six coworkers felt like cows being dragged to the slaughterhouse, so they were not moved by anything, so they stayed still.
At that time, the voice of Ambassador Gongmun, one of the thirty-six members, came from outside the tent.
“Hyunmun death penalty. Zen Master Ilmun of Arhat Hall asks to see you urgently.”
At that moment, Ambassador Hyeonmun and Ambassador Seonmun faced each other.
Although we haven’t met yet, it feels like something has come.
“Have it inside.”
“yes!”
After a while, Zen Master Ilmun of Arhat Hall came into the tent.
Master Ilmun, already aware of the presence of guests in the tent, greeted them with half-handed palms.
“This is the first sentence of Nahandang. I came here because I have something to talk about with Ambassador Hyeon-moon about the head office.”
Ambassador Hyunmun guessed that something had happened to Shaolin Temple and asked for understanding from Daeju Hwacheon and Daeju Hocheon.
“It seems that something urgent has happened at the head office, but I think we should talk first. If you have nothing more to say, see you next time.”
At Ambassador Hyeon-moon’s order to celebrate, I-do rose from his seat with a trembling face.
“We will continue the rest of the story in the afternoon.”
It was a notice that he would come back in the afternoon.
Wu Geuk Gate visits them morning and night to harass them, and he too is trying to wipe out Shaolin Temple.
A bitter smile appeared on Ambassador Hyeon-moon’s face when he realized Lee Do’s ulterior motive.
Eventually, Ido and Dosan Jinin left the tent.
While Ambassador Hyeon-moon, the head of the Thirty-six Dongin, saw off the lords, Ambassador Seon-moon secretly got lucky.
“Japanese master. What brought you to Ye from Nahandang? Did something happen to the Shaolin Temple?”
In response to Master Seonmun’s meaningful question, Seonja Ilmun intuition felt that the origin of the incident was Wabu Lake.
so I didn’t speak up.
“Seven days ago, someone carved a message with a sword in the front yard of Daeungjeon. It was a warning to get out of the battlefield. After that, I made the Daeungjeon Janggyeonggak Cheonbuljeon into powder.”
“…”
Ambassador Hyeonmun and Ambassador Seonmun opened their mouths.
I knew Namcheon was up to something, but that went too far.
Hitting the head office of Shaolin Temple for turning Namgungcheon into a disabled person…
Like that or not, the Japanese master’s words continued.
“Shortly after that, another article was found. ‘The sin of hurting a person’ was inscribed with black ink on the bluestone. According to eyewitnesses, it was written with a sword. Just like in front of Daeungjeon. But at the time those writings were engraved… there were no outside warriors in Shaolin Temple. From a distance invisible to the eye, he carved letters on the flagstone with a sword. Is there anyone who has such a level of skill in Danggeum and can do such a thing in Shaolin Temple? Everyone below Jang Moon-in assumes that this is the action of the Namcheon Daehyeop.”
As the throats of Ambassador Hyeon-moon and Seon-moon gulp, dry saliva gulp down.
The two already knew who did it in ‘The Sin of Injuring a Person’.
“Jang Mun-in ordered the Arhat Party to investigate this matter. In addition, He also commanded the return of all the disciples who had descended from the mountain. Thirty-six coterie members are also included. Do you have anything to say about this?”
Ambassador Sunmoon looked at Ambassador Hyeonmoon.
This is because this is something that the head of the Thirty-six Cottage needs to explain.
Finally, Ambassador Hyeonmun opened his mouth.
“ha! That’s how it ended up. It’s all our fault.”
Then, as if making excuses, Ambassador Sunmoon spoke.
“But the death penalty. On that day, it was pouring with heavy rain. So I didn’t know that the opponent was Namgungcheon. How can you say it’s our fault?”
Zen Master Ilmun frowned.
Judging from the mention of Namgungcheon, it seems that Thirty-six Dongin hurt him.
“Did Thirty-six Dongin hurt Namgungcheon, the Blue Cloud Sword?”
Ambassador Hyeon-moon replied with a puzzled face.
“It wasn’t just that I hurt him… If Namcheon Daehyeop hadn’t acted in time, he would have died. My spine and ribs were all broken, and even the cervical arm veins were severed.”
“no! why! Did you use such a cruel trick? Nam Maeng is not a man who deserves to die… Besides, why did you do that to So Ga-joo of the Namgung family?”
Hyeonmun, who took a deep breath, explained in detail the battle of Lake Wabu that took place seven days ago.
“…We were suddenly attacked by the Confederacy in the pouring rain. The Southern Meng tried to push the Hocheon Meng beyond Hoeha by driving the victory. But at that time, the Shaolin Temple’s support unit had just joined the Hutian League. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle in heavy rain. Out of thirty-six, six fell to one person. It was not an opponent that could be easily defeated. It was only after defeating him that I realized that he was Namgungcheon.”
“Huh! Namu Amitabha Buddha, Namu Amitabha Buddha…
.
After hearing it, I couldn’t help but blame Thirty-six Dongin.
that afternoon.
Ambassador Hyeon-moon informed the lords of Hwacheon and Hocheon who came back about the disaster that had occurred at Shaolin Temple.
Otherwise, it is difficult to say ‘going back to Shaolin Temple’.
“…That’s how Munin Jang ordered the return of the disciples who had descended. It’s something that will be known at some point… but I’d appreciate it if you could pretend you didn’t know for a while.”
“….”
Ido and Dosan Jinin only blinked their eyes with shocked faces.
“Since the disciples at the head office were told to return, I will leave the disciples at home.”
Ido said he would leave some of it behind, but Ido’s expression was dark.
It is because the martial arts of Shaolin Temple’s secular disciples are honestly worse than Hocheondae.
“I know what the situation is. However, Hwacheondae and Hocheondae alone will not be able to break through the southern alliance.”
Dosan Jinin from the side also shook his head.
The reason Wabu-ho’s counterattack was successful was because of Thirty-six Dongin.
It was difficult for the secular disciples to deal with the Murim family.
However, Ambassador Hyeon-moon had a different idea.
“This great deal. If we fall out, it will be in favor of Ho Chun Mang. If the Thirty-six Brothers get Namcheon Daehyeop involved in the affairs of Mugeukmun… Hocheonmaeng will have to give up before even starting.”
“…”
Ido couldn’t even refute that statement.
I heard and saw it.
I didn’t know what would happen if Namcheon was stimulated by the activities of the thirty-six dongin.
“ha! All right. Namcheon Daehyeop should not be given an excuse. Whether it’s porridge or rice, I’ll do it with Hwacheondae and Hocheondae. Dosan Jinin, are you okay?”
To Lee Do’s question, Dosan Jin-in replied with a wry smile.
“Isn’t there any other way? After requesting support from Hocheonmaeng, let’s move at least tonight.”
“great.”
Ido nodded his head.
Before it became known that Thirty-six Dongin was missing, it was not the time to cover the night and day to go to Nanjing.

Hapbi.
Yeo Kang-Hyeon Seogyeongjang.
After visiting Shaolin Temple, Yeon Jeok-ha’s expression was not bright.
As he, who had been fooling around, lived with a gloomy face, the people of Seokgyeongjang thought it was because of Namgungcheon’s injury.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was walking in the yard, suddenly raised his head.
As I was watching Mt. Wonga burning red in the setting sun, I thought of the woman named Gu Cheon, whom I met in Sangsu-hyeon.
If a world was about to perish because of the Golden Temple and the Heavenly Horse, it would be right for him to solve the problem himself.
‘By the way, I asked for some time because I have something to deal with.
Judging from the fact that Gucheonhyeonnyeo allowed it without asking how much time she needed, it doesn’t seem like it was urgent.
It was a good thing for himself, but thinking about going to another world like ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’ made me confused.
“Curry!”
“Quick cack!”
“Ho Ho!”
On the other side of the yard, Jian and Wolah and Geumah were laughing out of breath.
Just looking at it made me happy, but at the same time, it was empty.
“What are you looking at so intently on?”
Heartache came along with the words and stood shoulder to shoulder.
“I see kids playing. why?”
“Do you see that there is something to see?”
“I never had a time like that. Old Sim, do you remember those days?”
“Of course not. When I was the age of Wol-ah and Geum-a, I went to steal with friends who were open beggars.”
“Is the opening also stealing?”
“Open? It’s a thief’s paradise. There are a lot of guys who just didn’t pick up a knife, but the robbers are gone.”
The heartache that reminded me of my childhood made me shudder.
