< Episode 37 Reunion (1) >
It was truly extraordinary.
Among his semi-disciples including Hwan Yun-myeong the second disciple and even Yong-su the third had no desire to castrate after awakening to sexual desire.
But things have changed.
They all begged to be castrated.
Of course if he were not castrated and became an official disciple he might have to suffer under a demon-like bastard for the rest of his life.
“Master please castrate me!”
Mok Gyeong-un clicked his tongue at the sight of those pleading.
Their intentions were clearly visible.
Until now he had not wanted to remove his genitals due to his sexual desires but he must have felt that his position was in jeopardy now that a formal disciple named him had appeared.
They tried to use force but they were no match for them so there was only one way left for them.
Castration and becoming an official disciple.
‘Useless trivia.’
I thought so but it might not have been the right choice for them.
But if you suddenly show up like this and ask to be castrated will you really accept it?
I had a question
“Won’t you have any regrets?”
All three hesitated for a moment at Amjongju’s question.
However he soon glanced at Mok Gyeong-un became aware of it nodded his head and responded in unison.
“I won’t regret it.”
It was not a situation to regret.
This was especially true for Hwan Yun-myeong.
He had already revealed through his own mouth that the priests had tried to prevent him from becoming an official disciple and who would accept him when he had lost his right arm?
Hwan Yunmyeong looked at his teacher with earnest eyes.
At that time Lord Amjong covered his mouth with his hand and laughed as if he was happy.
“Oh ho ho. good. “You made your own choice so of course you should listen to it.”
“Ahhhh!”
“thank you!”
In response to his answer all of his disciples expressed their gratitude by hitting their heads on the floor.
Mok Kyung-un looking at the scene did not understand.
These were people who had given up on becoming formal disciples for their own desires not in special cases like themselves.
But why is it accepted?
While he was wondering he saw Hwan Yun-myeong and Yong-su smiling in repentance towards him.
‘hmm.’
Why is he making that kind of expression?
The reason was simple.
This was because with castration their positions were now equal.
No they were initiated before Mokgyeongun so the situation was reversed again.
They can no longer do harm to their fellow alumni who are on death row….
“Tillage.”
At that time the leader of the clan called Mok Gyeong-un.
“yes.”
“Can we speak comfortably now?”
“yes.”
“Oh ho ho. You’re lucky because you got three priests as soon as you came in. “As the ambassador please take good care of him.”
‘!!!!!!’
The faces of the three people instantly became distorted at these words of Amjongju.
What kind of lightning is this?
Why is that guy Mok Gyeong-un being sentenced to death?
Hwan Yunming could not bear it and asked.
“Master Sa. “How can someone who was initiated last become a great saint?”
“What did you mean?”
“yes?”
“Gyeong-un became an official disciple the fastest so isn’t it fitting that you guys deserve the grand punishment?”
Hwan Yun-myeong frowned as if he had chewed shit after hearing these words from Am Jong-ju.
Since he became an official disciple I thought he would at least be higher in rank than this guy but this couldn’t be possible.
Meanwhile Myeong Tak gave a bow to Mok Gyeong-un.
“Priest Myeong Tak sends greetings to Grand Master Mok Gyeong-un.”
“….”
Change attitude faster than anyone else.
Hwan Yun-myeong and Yong-su looked at this in bewilderment.
Of course Myeong Tak didn’t care about their gaze at all.
Anyway the trend was turning.
Even the master sentenced Mo Kyung-un to death without even hearing what happened inside.
What does that mean?
‘The next cancer leader is this guy.’
Now if they wanted to survive the person they needed to show off was not someone like Hwan Yun-myeong who had stabbed them in the back.
* * *
After sending the injured Hwan Yun-myeong Yong-su and Myeong Tak to Naeseong Medical Hall and leaving them alone the head of the clan looked at Mok Gyeong-un and said.
“You’re not asking anything.”
“Which one?”
“Why didn’t they ask about the circumstances of what happened inside… and why they made you the one who came in last to be executed as an ambassador?”
“Master you must have something in mind so is there any need for the disciple to be blasphemous and ask questions?”
“….”
At Mo Gyeong-un’s words Amjongju’s lips twitched.
I asked him because he didn’t even seem to have any doubts but he gave me this satisfying answer.
However this is not this child’s true intention.
After watching the closing ceremony of Sihyeolgok it was found that this child was not only clever but difficult to control.
A child like that is questioning Buddhist scriptures.
“Oh hohoho. “As a disciple this is an excellent answer but there is no need to hide your true feelings from me.”
“….”
“Is there anything you want to say?”
In response to Amjongju’s question Mokgyeongun immediately opened his mouth.
But the question was different from what I expected.
“Even though you know is it because of affection that you accepted me as an official disciple?”
Amjongju’s eyes narrowed.
Look at this kid.
I had no idea he would ask something like this.
“It seems like there was more conversation in this than I thought. “I see you asking that way.”
Contrary to the suspicions of this type of cancer there was no conversation.
I only knew how their relationship between priests and priests was formed thanks to Hwan Yun-myeong who was captivated by the magic of the evil sword talking about his desires time and time again.
“If it’s a conversation it can be called a conversation.”
“Oh hoho.”
“If it makes you uncomfortable you don’t have to answer.”
“Not really. If I had to answer it might be Jeong. But apart from that there are sometimes things that you can ignore and pretend not to know.”
‘hmm?’
Mok Kyung-un tilted his head.
What does it mean to pretend not to know something even though you know it?
From the perspective of Mok Gyeong-un who values rationality I did not understand it at all.
However what was certain was that the head of Amjong knew that not all priests who came in due to Hwan Yun-myeong were castrated.
No it was even weirder not knowing in the first place.
It is nothing else but the head of the cancer group that controls information.
“It’s not easy to give up something for something.”
“….”
Amjongju said covering his mouth.
“Oh ho ho. “If you too face the ravages of time and find yourself in a position where you have to lead an organization you will know what I mean.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Anyway I’m sorry for causing this mess by not telling those kids in advance.”
“no.”
“I may not have been able to memorize it properly but I will provide accommodation for you today so take a rest…”
“I memorized it.”
“what?”
“I memorized everything you mentioned about the martial arts techniques.”
Hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s words the head of the Am clan looked at him with a look in his eyes asking if that was really true.
According to reports he was told that not long after he went to Jonggwan three people stormed into this place.
No matter how brilliant you are it is difficult to memorize the phrases in such a short period of time.
however
“Cho Won-kyung-ha Yeok-un Hyeok-se Ji Sun-ji-gyeong Oh Seok-moo-hun….”
‘!?’
A strange look appeared in the eyes of King Amjong when he heard the phrase of the Gwiyeongjo method coming out of Mokgyeongun’s mouth.
Because he had observed the final gate of Sihyeolgok he was aware that Mok Gyeong-un’s martial arts skills were so superior that they could not even be compared to criminals.
But I didn’t know it would be this good.
‘…Was it this much?’
This exceeded expectations.
I once again sympathized with the words of an old saint who said that one cannot help but be moved when one receives an outstanding disciple.
The more I know about this child the more I regret it.
If only he had been affiliated with Cheonjihoe he would have walked a more solid path.
It’s unfortunate that awareness still needs to be improved but it was worth cultivating as a resource in the future.
“Even if I wanted to save praise it’s hard to do so. “Good job.”
“no.”
“Oh ho ho. “I feel like I want to start teaching right away but I haven’t finished the work from earlier so it’s going to be difficult today.”
“All right.”
“I have informed the Commander-in-Chief so he will guide you to your lodgings. “You probably haven’t been able to rest properly since you’ve been through the gateway to the Sihyeolgok so make sure you get a good rest today.”
“yes.”
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow….”
“ah. “I’m sorry but is it okay if I go for a walk around here?”
“walk?”
“yes. “After staying in the mountains for a long time I want to take a leisurely stroll around the area and see the sights.”
At those words the queen’s eyes twinkled slightly.
However he spoke casually without showing it.
“I guess you want to take a look around the castle.”
“yes. “If it’s okay.”
“Oh ho ho. “If that’s the case I’ll appoint someone.”
Hearing his words Mok Gyeong-un clicked his tongue inwardly.
Although he was accepted as a formal disciple and his tone of voice was softer and friendlier the king of Amjong did not let down his guard at all.
He said he’s been around the area and he sees people sticking around.
It was annoying but he couldn’t help it.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
* * *
In this way Mok Gyeong-un left Amjong’s manor accompanied by a bodyguard assigned by the Lord of Amjong.
“Don’t worry about where you belong just wander around. Confucius.”
“yes. “Thank you for your consideration.”
In fact it was more considerate not to follow.
But there was nothing else to do.
“Hoo.”
Mok Gyeong-un looked around outside the manor and let out a small exclamation.
He took a quick look around as he came here but it was clearly spacious.
No it was no exaggeration to say that it was vast.
‘The tolerance itself is also high.’
It seemed like it would take quite some time to tour the whole place.
I thought I could get a general idea of the geography of this place if I climbed up to the tallest building and looked around.
But I think that will be difficult right now.
This is because the guard is watching his every move.
-What did you come out for? It seems better today to rest as the eunuch said.
At that time Cheongnyeong’s voice rang in my ears.
To this Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders and responded with a full tone.
-I felt it.
-Can you feel it? What did you mean?
-I can feel Gochan’s spirit not far away.
-what? You mean the guy who entered the body of that assassin woman?
-yes.
The reason Mok Gyeong-un came out was none other than his escort Go Chan.
As the relationship began it was not only the spirit that felt the owner’s energy.
Mok Gyeong-un was also able to instinctively sense the location of the food spirit.
‘early.’
It was located within a radius of at least 100 miles.
If the energy is very far away it will be faint and difficult to detect but if it is this close I can definitely tell where it is.
‘northwestward.’
It seemed like he could meet him if he headed there.
-That guy is amazing too. Well since you can’t run away from a shikigami it’s only natural that you follow along. He didn’t come close…
-It seems like he is maintaining his possessed body.
-under! Are you saying that you infiltrated this place in the flesh?
-yes. That’s it for now.
-The body seemed quite usable but I don’t think it was at a level where it could sneak into the inner city… It seems that it is surprisingly capable.
-He was from Salsu so he may have done it based on that experience.
-Anyway the more cards you can use the better. If you were a food spirit there would be no risk of betrayal.
I agreed with what the young man said.
That’s why I was looking for an escort Gochan.
Seeing that he followed me here and infiltrated well it seems that the value of use has increased compared to before.
So Mok Gyeong-un accompanied by Amjong’s bodyguard headed towards the northwest road of Naeseong.
He had moved about thirty pages.
I saw a group of people walking from the opposite direction.
One of them particularly stood out.
‘hmm.’
He was a handsome young man who appeared to be in his late twenties with curly hair.
The youthful energy was visible in Mo Kyung-un’s eyes.
However surprisingly the size of the energy was comparable to that of Son Yun the King of Myeongdo.
‘Who is it?’
At that level it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was an executive level person.
However it was difficult to accurately determine who it was based on appearance alone.
But someone caught Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
‘!?’
Behind the curly-haired young man was a man in his early thirties who appeared to be in the group.
He was holding a bottle of liquor in one hand and his other arm was wrapped around the waist of a young and alluring woman.
-Is that… Isn’t that him?
Mok Gyeong-un nodded his head slightly at Cheongryeong’s words.
That woman wearing a fancy dress that is cut out so much that her breasts can be seen is
-…I think that’s right.
It was definitely Gochan the escort who possessed Ha Chae-rin.
But why is Gochan doing that?
She seemed to have infiltrated the Cheonjihoe in a different way than expected.
‘Ahhhh shit.’
Likewise the guard Go Chan who immediately recognized the owner Mok Gyeong-un was so embarrassed that he could not raise his face.
