Episode 368 Carriage to Hell
“Master.”
A man was kneeling on one knee with his head bowed. The man just looked at his feet and waited for the leader to speak.
“The upper left temple.”
The man called Jwasa above answered without raising his head.
“yes.”
“If the so-called left priest of the Protestant religion falls flat like that, what on earth should other believers do? It’ll stick to the floor. “Get up.”
“sorry.”
Only after the above-mentioned master apologized did he stand up and put his hands together in front of him politely. Even when he got up, he did not look directly at the leader. He kept his gaze down and kept his mouth shut, but he was not a very handsome man.
There was no feeling of bonelessness, but the height was quite large. A distinctive feature of his facial expression was his eyes that were drooping downwards, and his ears were larger than those of an average person and were excessively bent to the point where one might think that he had developed hearing. So overall, it looked like a monkey with an elongated body was standing.
The head priest spoke while sitting in the royal temple and resting his chin on one hand.
“If you become a left person, avoid being overly polite.”
“yes.”
“What about Gasol?”
The above gentleman answered.
“I am joining the church twice. Those who belong to the advance group have already entered the church, and the latter group plans to join the church after handing over businesses in each region to their successors. “Sorry for the delay.”
The religious leader said.
“There is no need to enter the church until later. “There is no need for your entire family to join the church to the extent that it would interfere with your business.”
The chieftain lowered his head slightly.
“Thank you for your generous consideration.”
“Sir, were you that low-key when doing business? “You groveling brat is disgusting.”
The Master above answered with a smile.
“Actually, I have never lived in such a low posture anywhere. “Sir, I will gradually get used to it.”
The leader answered with a sour expression.
“I heard that your family, the Myeongcheonwi family, is a great figure of five generations. How is their position compared to the wealthy people of the central plains? “Is it even the greatest statue in the world?”
“It’s not the best in the world, but if you gather all the wealth from all over, you can count it among the top ten. There are so many hidden symbols in the world that it is impossible to compare them accurately. However, among the religious people, I worked hard to earn the most money.”
“Who started the rumor that in terms of assets, it is more than Gyo, and that by hiring only ronin with money, you can match Gyo’s army?”
The upper priest answered with his head bowed.
“Sir, that is not a rumor we spread.”
“Did you recognize me?”
“I know this from rumors spread by the outer party.”
“who?”
“I know this is a story spread by the Jungcheon Sangdan, which works with the Geumho Daeju of the outside party.”
“How did you deal with it?”
“I sent a letter and told them it was a misunderstanding. “We asked people to refrain from spreading rumors.”
“What?”
“There was no reply.”
The cult leader laughed.
“The Lord of Geumho and the Jungcheon Sangdan would be most surprised to hear that you have become Master of Gwangmyeong.”
“Maybe so.”
“Are you going to send out a new warning? “I have power.”
The person above answered right away.
“I will stay still.”
“The reason is?”
“After sending the letter, no more rumors that could cause misunderstanding have spread. “I was given an order from the religious leader to carry out the duties of a priest, which I undeservedly deserved, so I think the head of Geumho will be careful as well.”
The leader laughed at the words of the above priest.
“I think I know why Usa hates you.”
“yes.”
“Did you know?”
“I’ve heard it a few times.”
“Do you even know why?”
The master above moved his head slightly and answered while looking at the floor.
“I understand that you disliked them because they were crazy about money.”
“Will we be able to get along well when Woosa returns? In any case, when I’m not around, the two of us have to discuss and take care of the major and minor matters of the religion.”
“We will negotiate well.”
“This is not a position where Usa sits so that he can be taken to Hazandae.”
“yes. “I will keep that in mind.”
At this time, Suha’s voice was heard from outside.
“The Archduke you called has arrived.”
“Wait.”
“yes.”
The leader said with a smile.
“What did Master Zuo intend to do by collecting so much money over five generations? “Have you tried to establish at least a small country?”
The above gentleman answered.
“When you make money, you feel like you are being swept away by a river.”
“What does it mean?”
“At first, I was satisfied with just one small boat, but gradually I moved to wider rivers to catch bigger fish. “I’m going to get seasick before I know it, so I’m buying a bigger boat.”
“next time?”
“As the number of people increases, more ships are needed. As I wander along the stream, I see other people’s boats that are better than my own. Somehow, it seems like more money is flowing that way. Then I build a bigger boat myself. In the end, you end up with a boat so big that you can’t even navigate the narrow river. So this time we will cross the sea. “Only then do I realize that the world is vast and that there are wealthy people who have accumulated much more wealth than me despite going through the same hardships.”
The religious leader asked.
“Did you drop those symbols in the sea?”
“If we decided it was necessary, we did it. “If my ship sinks, there are many Gasols who will sink with it.”
“Is there an end to saving money?”
“There is no end.”
“Then I guess I learned martial arts to save more money.”
The chieftain above nodded his head.
“In the end, yes.”
“Even the sitting position was bought with money.”
“I won’t deny it.”
The sect leader, who was tapping the Taesa with his fingers, said.
“I will order what needs to be done from now on, sir.”
“I will listen.”
The leader said while moving one hand around.
“Wake up full power.”
“….”
“Use the school to make more money and fill the empty positions here and there with people from the left company. Be tyrannical. It’s okay to fight with Usa or other princes. Fill the positions of the Four Heavenly Kings as you please. It doesn’t matter if there is opposition from believers. If you are a sitting person, make sure you have the strength appropriate for the position. and.”
“yes.”
“The only badge given to a master is the Sword of Light, which the former master possesses. “For your own use.”
The chieftain raised his head slightly and looked at the sect leader.
“All right.”
“Go away.”
“yes.”
The Master above took three steps back with his head slightly lowered and then turned around. After opening the door and coming out, I made eye contact with the eldest son of the leader who was waiting. His face was as red as a farmer’s, as if he had traveled a long way. The Chief Master above said while looking at the small box the Archduke was carrying at his side.
“…It’s been a while, Grand Duke.”
The Archduke nodded.
“You said you became a master?”
The Master above answered, pointing to the door.
“yes. Please go in. “You are waiting.”
The Archduke said as he passed by.
“A rich man must have achieved success by being appointed to the post of governor.”
The upper priest smiled and answered.
“thank you. “One great duke.”
The Archduke glared at Wei Zuo while he personally closed the door.
The gentleman above smiled until the door closed all the way.
Only after the door was closed did the Master above look around with a dull expression and then move at a slow pace. The dog above was twitching its big ears as if it were a habit even while walking.
However, the conversation between the cult leader and the Grand Duke could not be heard. Only after leaving the palace did the subordinates approach Master Jwasa.
“Matriarch.”
The above-mentioned Master looked around at his followers who had joined the church and said,
“It seems you have to obtain the Light Sword to become a true leftist. So that you know that.”
“yes.”
“Please stop using the title ‘head of the family’ from now on.”
“All right.”
Jwasa said as he went ahead.
“It’s good to be busy. “There’s a lot to do.”
* * *
Ma Gyoju’s second son was urinating toward the forest. Since his entire right arm and shoulder were tied with white cloth, it looked like the remnants of the defeated soldiers were returning. Because I had waited so long, the stream of water became quite long. After repeating the process of coming out again three or four times as soon as he felt the need to stop, the second son, who had pulled up his pants, headed towards the carriage with a hobble.
He said as he entered the carriage, sat down, and closed the door.
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
The second son, who had been waiting for a while, spoke again.
“Let’s go.”
The second son was about to say something when he looked at the carriage door. Suddenly the carriage door opened and a man carrying a cloth came into the carriage.
As the second son looked at him in shock…
“….”
Gwangmyeong Woosa, covered in blood, sat across from him and looked at the second son.
“Aren’t we returning to a very obvious path? This Confucius.”
The second son looked at Gwangmyeong Woosa’s appearance while pushing the ball into his left hand. Only his face, which he had wiped off the blood with his hand, was fine, but the rest of his body and clothes were stained with blood.
Master Gwangmyeong said while shaking his head.
“I told Grand Duke Yang that I would spare your life. “Your father was polite to me, so you should at least do that.”
The second son answered.
“Then why did you follow me?”
Gwangmyeong Usa placed the wrapping cloth on his lap and then unwrapped it. The second son thought that the two archdukes’ heads were inside the wrapping cloth. However, the wrapping cloth that Gwangmyeong Woosa unwrapped contained several white dumplings and alcohol in a bamboo container.
Strangely enough, when the second son saw the white dumplings, he seemed to go out of his mind.
When Gwangmyeong Woosa grabbed the dumpling, it was covered in blood. Gwangmyeong Usa said while eating the bloody dumplings.
“…Grand Duke Yang ran away. How could he run away so quickly when his men were dying? I said I would save you. “I never said I would spare Grand Duke Yang’s life.”
Gwangmyeong Usa, who had finished eating one dumpling as if hiding his eyes from a crab, picked up a new dumpling and offered it to the prince.
“Are you going to eat it?”
“It’s okay.”
The second son managed to calm his surprise and then spoke.
“So what are you going to do? I don’t know why it’s suddenly like this. “I killed Archduke Yang’s subordinates to tell the religious leader what to do.”
Gwangmyeong Woosa asked while chewing dumplings.
“Are you rebuking me now?”
“It’s not about reprimanding, it’s about finding out the situation.”
Master Gwangmyeong said after drinking.
“I wanted to spare you and kill Grand Duke Yang. This is the condition. Since Archduke Yang has run away, others will have to take care of it. Guide me to Deep Wongok.”
“….”
Usa Gwangmyeong said.
“If Grand Duke Yang is there, kill him. If not, the powerful people of Simwongok will have to pay for their sins. Don’t worry. Even in the safe house, the sisters were saved. “They are innocent.”
The second son looked at Gwangmyeong Woosa’s hands picking out dumplings. Every time I opened the dumplings, they were turning red.
Gwangmyeong Woosa picked up a dumpling and held it out to his second son.
“…Would you like me to guide you to Profound Valley? Or will you pay for the Grand Duke’s sins as if you ran away? If you’re Ma’s second son, you’ll probably make a smart choice. Your father didn’t even give you this choice. I killed them all. The world changed when someone like Hao Wenju appeared. Don’t touch women and children. Either you die, or Grand Duke Yang must die. “What do you want to do?”
The second son glared at Gwangmyeong Woosa and suddenly focused on the dumplings that fell from his fingers. At the same time, when Gwangmyeongwusa tilted his head to the side, a long sword suddenly popped out through the wall of the carriage. Gwangmyeongwoosa grabbed the blade of the long sword with his fingers and pulled out the long sword with all his strength.
The long sword came out so quickly that it could not be avoided and lodged into the second son’s shoulder with a loud sound.
“Ugh…”
Gwangmyeongwusa said as the second son looked at the long sword.
“Did you see it? “This is the fate of you rich people.”
“….”
“Be careful of yourself, coachman. “If you die too, we’ll have to find someone else to drive the carriage.”
As soon as Gwangmyeong Woosa was full, he threw the remaining dumplings on the floor and then looked at his second son.
“Have you decided? “Who will die?”
The second son looked at Gwangmyeong Woosa with an expression as if he had fallen into hell. Every time I took a breath, the foul smell of blood filled my nose. Gwangmyeongwoosa moved his head back and forth and looked closely at his second son’s expression.
“…You also had a kind side. I never thought I would worry like this. Then you pay for my sins.”
The second son said to the coachman.
“Depart for Deep Wong Valley.”
“….”
The second son screamed.
“hurry!”
“yes.”
Master Gwangmyeong reached out his hand and pulled out the long sword stuck in the second son’s shoulder. He said to the driver as he put the long sword back into the hole.
“It’s your long sword. You stabbed this Confucius so mercilessly. “If the cult leader finds out, you will be put to death.”
“….”
Usa Gwangmyeong burst into laughter alone, perhaps because his words were funny. After laughing for a while, I asked my second son.
“Is Grand Duke Yang in Deep Wong Valley?”
The second son answered by untying the cloth and tying it around his shoulders again.
“I don’t know.”
“Does not matter. If you wait, it will come someday. Everyone must cooperate so that the two Grand Dukes do not notice and run away. Do you understand? “I have to answer this Confucius.”
“I understand.”
Gwangmyeongwoosa said with a smile.
“That guy called Ma Gyoju’s second son is such a jerk. If you were you, you would have bitten your tongue and committed suicide. If you are embarrassed, commit suicide. “I will go to Sim Wongok with my coachman.”
The second son glared at Gwangmyeong Woosa, picked up a dumpling that had fallen on the floor, and ate it with his left hand. It was a dumpling with a delicious taste of blood.
“Let’s go first.”
As soon as Gwangmyeongwoosa thought that his second son was going to attack Simwongok after burning his will, he stopped the laughter from flowing out with his hand.
The second son was so cornered that he said something childish.
“Can you handle the wrath of the Usa cult leader?”
Master Gwangmyeong said with an expression of bewilderment.
“You don’t know your father very well yet. Have you ever seen your father truly angry? “I haven’t seen it yet.”
“….”
“Are you there?”
“No.”
Master Gwangmyeong nodded.
“doesn’t exist. There is no anger in those who enjoy. It is called play. This is a man who will die laughing until his head flies off. Because I emptied my mind a lot. I didn’t know it when I was a cattleman, but it wasn’t until I became the head of the cult that I began to understand your father’s feelings to some extent. Later, if you and your father are still alive, we should meet for a drink.”
“How about we return to school now and have a drink to be honest?”
Master Gwangmyeong shook his head with a serious expression.
“Not today. “You too, work harder.”
The second son looked at Gwangmyeong Woosa blankly. It occurred to me that there really was no such thing as crazy.
