Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 280

<Episode 77: Holy Spirit Spell (2)>

“The doctrine of our church is to reverence the sacred fire do good and eliminate evil.”

“Because you did it?”

“No matter how I look at it you are evil itself.”

As he said those words the Seonghwa Spirit Pillar inside the golden jade looked coldly at him.

Mok Gyeong-un chuckled at the old woman and said

“It could be evil or something.”

“Is that possible? Doing good and avoiding evil is a constant test for our church members and is what sustains them…”

“Let’s put aside the old fashioned things and who determines the standards of good and evil?”

“what?”

Hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s words Seong Hwa-ryeongju’s eyes narrowed.

Who sets the standards for good and evil?

It’s a ridiculous question.

“Why are you asking questions that are moral and taken for granted? “Can’t you tell the difference between right and wrong?”

“Who decides what is right and what is wrong?”

“Ha… Are you trying to argue with Nobu now?”

“Rather it’s because it’s funny to take something for granted.”

“Is it funny to take things for granted?”

“yes.”

“After all didn’t someone decide the standards of right and wrong and good and evil?”

“what?”

“In the end it wasn’t people who set the standards.”

“….”

The Seonghwa Spiritual Lord could not really deny these words.

In the end it was probably the ancient people who set the standard in the first place and it would have passed down and led to a set of customs and morals.

Likewise the doctrine of Baehwagyo is also the same.

It follows exactly what was passed down from the exodus.

However if you discuss the principle in this way there is no limit.

“What do you want to say? Are you trying to deny that someone else has set the standard? But do you think you can deny it?”

“Why do you say that?”

“There are things that the majority consider to be right and there are things that the minority considers to be right.”

“So?”

“The world ultimately moves in the direction of what the majority is right and what is wrong with morality also ultimately has no choice but to be guided by the will of the majority.”

“So since good and evil right and wrong are opinions decided by the majority are you saying that those in the minority should follow that opinion?”

“The answer cannot be given by Nobu. Ultimately it’s a problem you have to understand yourself. However there must have been a lot of thought conflict trial and error before the majority made that decision.”

“Ah I see.”

Seonghwareungju believed that enlightenment ultimately comes from self-understanding of teachings.

There was no point in talking about the basic principles and instilling various things.

Unless you accept it yourself.

Her neck Kyung-un smiled and said to her.

“Then Baehwagyo is an absolute evil and absolutely wrong that should not exist in the world.”

“what? What now…”

“You said it. “Why the minority must follow the majority’s opinion.”

“that….”

“Shouldn’t Bae-hwa-gyo and Bae-hwa-gyo doctrines which are rejected by the majority of Central Plains people be rejected as they belong to the minority?”

“….”

To Mo Gyeong-un’s words Seonghwaryeongju could not reply in any way.

On the contrary I suffered it.

She tried to edify him by teaching her doctrines about the evil she sensed in him but she ended up only giving loopholes in her words.

‘…He’s a clever guy.’

If you raise a counterargument for the sake of the doctrine here you will end up repeating arguments that will force you to overturn what you said.

Seonghwaryeongju said sticking out her tongue.

“It seems like it’s been the first time since Nobu tried to stop me like this with words.”

“Is that so?”

“But thanks to that it became a little clearer.”

“Clear? “What do you mean?”

“Nobu has become unsure whether you who are questioning the teachings of our school are really a member of our school.”

Seonghwaryeongju’s eyes became full of doubt.

Seeing her like that I thought I should stimulate her appropriately by lifting her neck.

There was a lot she wanted to find out from her but she was running out of time now and if she became more wary she might get tired of breaking her out.

“Ahh. I guess I didn’t have faith in the Spirit of Holy Fire. “How about this?”

Mok Gyeong-un took something out of her arms.

That’s right

“that?”

What Mok Gyeong-un took away was none other than the ring handed over by Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong clan.

He said this was a badge that proved he was a member of the church.

Mok Gyeong-un who showed signs of defeat politely brought his hands together as if crossing them and bowed to him in a respectful manner.

“The members of Baehwagyo receive the Holy Spirit Spell.”

At Mo Kyung-un’s greeting like this Seonghwa Ryeongju whose mind had been full of doubts just moments ago looked confused.

‘How do I do this?’

As expected the ring finger shown by Mok Gyeong-un was a badge that only a high-ranking church father in Baehwagyo could have.

Even within Baehwagyo there were not many church fathers.

She asked this.

“Who did you receive this from?”

Looking at her face there was no way she was his because there were no terms and conditions.

Therefore she was sure that Mok Kyung-un had received this badge from someone.

“I received it from my teacher.”

“Master? “Please tell me the name and name of the school and who taught it.”

If Amjong Ju Hwan Ya-seon were to meet a church member he was told to leave out his last name when informing about himself.

It seems that this surname was inherited from the previous king of Amjong.

Mok Kyung-un said this.

“It’s a night trip.”

“Issuance of late-night examination!”

At those words Seonghwaryeongju’s voice became excited for the first time.

Mok Kyung-un looked at this closely.

I predicted that Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong clan would be a fairly high-ranking figure in Baehwagyo but seeing Seonghwaryeongju who was second-in-command except for the sect leader look like this it seemed like he must be a really important person.

“The Yaseon Church Father sent you? “Where is he now?”

“Do you know of an organization called Cheonjihoe?”

“Cheonjihoe? Isn’t it one of the largest organizations in Moorim? How could Nobu not know that? Does that mean the Yaseon Church Father was still there?”

Thanks to her reaction Mok Gyeong-un was able to find out that Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Am clan had been in the Cheonjihoe for longer than he expected.

Then she said.

“It is truly a blessing for our school that the Yaseon Church Father is still alive and providing such support.”

‘….’

Hearing these words Mok Kyung-un’s eyes became strange.

Is it really true that the Seonghwa Spiritual Lord was capable of foresight?

If I had that kind of ability I would have predicted the life and death of the master of cancer or any other information I was curious about but I don’t understand it at all.

This was the moment when these doubts were getting stronger.

-Kurrrrr!

Suddenly a vibration was felt from the floor and soon the entire cave suddenly shook.

The scale of the shaking was incomparable to the time when Mo Qingyun and the blood-seong Danbaekhe of the Nine Blood Bridges competed.

“What?”

It was so severe that the Seonghwa Spirit Lord stumbled and held on to the iron bars.

‘what?’

Mo Kyung-un looked puzzled and placed his hand on the floor.

But soon the shaking of the entire cave which had been shaking violently quickly stopped.

I couldn’t figure out what this was.

I was puzzled but the Seonghwa Spirit Lord spoke.

“Let’s get out of here first. “If you don’t get out quickly you’ll be in trouble.”

“Do you know why?”

“I don’t know exactly. “It’s just the first time the entire cave shakes so violently.”

“You said it was your first time but are you saying you’ve been shaken even if not too badly?”

In response to Mo Gyeong-un’s question Seonghwa Ryeongju remembered something.

“Even if it wasn’t to this extent I remember how the Geumui Committee members who came here hurriedly left every time there was even the slightest shaking as if there was an earthquake… Ah! Not everything. Come to think of it among the people who were interrogating Nobu the only one who was said to be in charge of the underground Geumok went into the Geumok closed the door and did not leave.”

“Even though this place is shaking?”

“I see.”

“He pointed to this tremor and told me to remember it. “I tell Nobu that it is absolutely impossible to escape the Infinite Penitentiary alive.”

“Impossible?”

Mok Gyeong-un stroked his chin at those words.

From his own experience the escape from Mugan Geumok was not that impossible.

In fact it felt meaningless to say that no one could escape once they entered this place.

So is there something else hidden?

Mo Kyung-un said taking his hands off the floor.

“Let’s leave for now. “Let’s check whether it is impossible as you said.”

“…Father Yaseon is always cautious but you are more confident than you look.”

“I’m saying it’s better to crash than to worry. “How about you step back a little bit?”

“You mean to back off?”

“If it’s stuck to the iron bars it’s difficult to cut it.”

“ah!”

Hearing Mo Kyung-un’s words Seonghwa Ryeongju immediately took a step back about five steps.

Then Mok Gyeong-un grabbed the sword and began to lightly cut the iron bars.

-Sigh!

I thought the dead man’s sword might have been swept away but when he cut the iron bars with his bare hands the Lord Seonghwa couldn’t hide his surprise.

Would it be possible to cut the iron bars just by cutting his finger?

-Sgeung!

At that moment the iron bars where Mokgyeongun’s sword grazed and passed were soon cut off and passed over.

Seeing this the Holy Spirit swallowed dry saliva and licked his lips.

I don’t think the contract was signed yet but I was surprised that he was so skilled that he cut the iron bars with his bare hands.

‘He said he was a disciple of the Yashen teacher and his inaction is really outstanding.’

I wonder if the night-selection granting also went to this extent.

After all the restraints on the arms and legs were removed the Seonghwa Spiritual Lord was able to come out of the gold prison.

“…I’m not completely out yet but I’m thankful.”

She expressed her gratitude to Mok Kyung-un.

Mok Kyung-un lightly shrugged his shoulders.

It was at that very moment.

-Kurrrrrrr!

Once again the entire cave shook violently as if there had been an earthquake in the underground prison.

But this time it was worse than before.

It was to a degree that the cave walls were cracking and trembling and even a strange pressure could be felt.

At this Mok Kyung-un who was putting his hand on the floor frowned.

‘Is this why it was like this?’

-Kurrrrrrr!

The Holy Fire Lord asked as he stumbled and held on to the cave wall.

“What on earth is going on?”

Mok Gyeong-un responded to her question with a tone of absurdity.

“It looks like the ground below has completely collapsed and the ground we are on is also falling.”

‘!?’

This shaking and pressure that made it seem like I couldn’t stand properly was caused by that.

Mok Gyeong-un clicked his tongue at this situation he was experiencing for the first time.

She said it was an invincible gold jade but she never expected that it would cause one floor of the ground to collapse and fall.

* * *

-Kurrrrrrr!

“Oh my…”

The road leading from the Mugan Geumok to the 3rd floor of the Underground Geumok.

Yuk Cheon-ho Lim Gyu-wol the head of the Saseonbu could not help but feel despair as he looked at the collapsed place.

I didn’t know that the final engine oscillation had actually been activated.

“Damn it!”

Six Thousand Tigers Lim Gyu-wol couldn’t hold back and got angry loudly.

Because so many inmates had come out of Geum-ok we hurriedly came for fear that the final machine siege might be triggered but it was already over.

-Kurrrrrrr!

The pressure that made it difficult to even stand up was due to the ground beneath collapsing causing the entire stairs of the Invincible Geumok to fall down.

As far as she knew it was a drop of almost 1 li (里).

As soon as this place fell the ground that collapsed and became empty was immediately filled so it was a structure that could never be climbed.

-Wow!

I should have just not come down.

If it weren’t for the pressure from the guard Muk-sum this wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Lim Gyu-wol who was distressed by this situation while grinding his teeth soon came to his senses.

‘I don’t have time for this.’

If he stays still he will eventually die.

Now that the final engine shock had been activated everyone had no choice but to join forces to survive even a little.

The only answer was for at least one person above the inmates to join in and dig upward.

Moreover this was not the end of the final engine ceremony.

According to the information I received about the underground gold prison I heard that after falling down a hidden gold prison room opens and 36 copper men inside are released and indiscriminately attack those who escape.

-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!

In response Lim Gyu-wol hurriedly ran to the inside of the Mugan Geumok.

‘If you want to live I will cooperate obediently.’

* * *

Mo Qingyun said to the six-blooded Dan Baek-ha of the nine-blooded religion as if he was surprised.

“Hoo. “But you survived and subdued him?”

It was Mok Gyeong-un who expected that Jaune Hyang who was obsessed with her fear-killing sword which was her sword inside would lose her life while fighting with her.

But was there luck?

Although he looked a bit haggard Zhou Yunxiang collapsed right in front of Tanbaekhe who was leaning against the wall and was sound asleep.

And there was a sword half stuck on the floor next to it.

Even though it was stuck in the ground like a magic sword it was trembling slightly and showing its magic.

At that time Dambaekha opened his mouth in an annoyed tone.

“What are you going to do now that you saved this guy and left your home?”

“What should I do?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? “If only you and the main woman had gone out earlier wouldn’t this have happened?”

The reason Dambaekha was angry was simple.

It was because she too sensed that her ground had fallen beneath her.

“You ended up trapped here and dying just trying to save that little old woman.”

“Young old woman?”

The Seonghwa Spiritual Lord frowned at Dambaekha’s words.

Who is this woman that says she is a young old woman?

In the first place it was absurd to say that she was young and that she was an old woman.

However since the situation was so dire she thought the words came out in vain out of anger.

She then approached with a sword with a neck blade embedded in it.

Dambaekha tried to dissuade him.

“hey. “Stop.”

“yes?”

“I barely got it off this guy and you caught it so what are you going to do?”

It was quite annoying to subdue even a relatively weak guy.

However if even one person who has crossed the wall gets caught up in the magic power of the magic sword something terrible will happen.

It was a warning not to catch it out of concern for this.

Then Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Because it would be a waste to just leave it behind.”

“Is it a shame to leave it behind? Are you saying that now? “My nails are breaking I’m in a situation where I don’t even know if I can dig through the dirt or not… What are you doing now?”

Dan Baek-ha looked at Mo Gyeong-un with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

That’s why Mok Gyeong-un suddenly took something out of his pocket put it between his index and middle fingers and suddenly rotated his hand in a circular shape.

I wondered what he was doing in the meantime.

-SSSSSSSS!

At that moment smoke flowed out of the air the space shook and an entrance appeared.

Everyone who saw this was amazed.

What kind of harmony is this?

‘!!!!!’
