Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 448
Episode 448
Shaking (3)
“Whew.”
Tamgyeong’s face, exhaling softly, seemed to have aged several years in just a dozen days.
This time I glanced at him.
“Why the sighing?”
“I just sigh.”
“Are you trying to go before this brother?”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t they say that if you sigh often, you will live longer?”
“Hehehe.”
Tamgyeong, who was laughing, licked his lips and said.
“I just have a lot on my mind.”
“How come the contents of the scriptures are not interpreted well?”
“Well, it hasn’t happened in a day or two, so what’s new? “I just keep exploring until I die.”
This time he smiled.
“If you do it, it’s because of that kid.”
“kid?”
“I’m talking about a child named Yeon Ho-jeong.”
Inspector Tam’s mouth closed like a clam.
This time, he covered the old book he was holding and continued speaking while patting his waist.
“You seem to have changed a lot since you met that child. “To be precise, it’s like you’ve returned to your old, energetic self.”
“Did it look like that?”
“Speaking of truth, there is no one among us as passionate as you. Wasn’t he called the most fearsome Arhat leader in Shaolin history? Some people even said that it was the incarnation of King Ming, perhaps?”
“Hey, why are you bringing up the past?”
“I’m not asking you to cheer up. “I’m just telling you to get to know yourself.”
“….”
“The cold wind of time doesn’t just change rivers and mountains. That cold wind seeps into people’s hearts too. That’s why a heart that was as hard and sharp as steel when you were young becomes softer as you get older.”
Inspector Tam looked at this time.
This time, he was sitting with his back against the cave wall, and although he was scruffy, he was like that of a sage who had realized the Way.
It must be because of his eyes. His deep, deep eyes reminded me of a longing without any blemishes. If you look closely, it feels like you can clearly see into your own mind.
“You are different from before. But that past is also yours. Unfortunately, you have not been able to completely separate yourself from your past self.”
“Do you see it that way?”
“It seems so.”
Inspector Tam’s face became bitter.
“I guess I still have a long way to go.”
“Is it really that disappointing that I haven’t completely changed from my past self? However, you are not someone who has committed bad deeds.”
“I devoted the rest of my life to uncovering the secret of reincarnation and getting closer to the path of Buddha. For his sake, it would be right for me to forget myself for criticizing Gangho in the past and follow the Tao.”
“….”
“Now it’s easy to forget about the fist that was as hot as fire, but it seems like that spark still remains in my heart.”
This time I chuckled.
“This is why you need to find a job that suits your aptitude. “Your choice was noble, but you should have done what you wanted to do.”
“How many people in the world can do whatever they want? Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do. And I’m telling you this out of fear of misunderstanding, but I don’t hate this either.”
“Puhu!”
This time I shook my head.
“This time, you were the one who took the initiative before anyone else when my great-grandson and Beom-oh came to ask for it.”
“….”
“Yes, since it is a matter related to the government, how could we, who have cut off ties with the secular world, not move? But you were different. “The motive for your move was not because you were afraid that the government would collapse or that our work would be disrupted.”
Inspector Tam’s eyes wavered.
This time, he looked directly at Inspector Tam with those deep eyes. It was as if I could clearly see into his inner thoughts.
“There is still a vital spirit left in your heart that wants to criticize Gangho.”
“…It’s a ploy.”
“Hey, there’s no rule that says you can’t dream just because you’re old. In other words, aren’t we gathered here also for a dream? “The dream and belief that if we can delve into the unknown gap between immortality and reincarnation and get closer to the truth, we can bring peace to the world more quickly.”
“….”
“Dreams do not discriminate between men and women and young and old. The only difference is what kind of dream you have. I don’t think you’re ugly. Rather, I envy it. “Even at that age, you can live with that level of passion.”
This time I narrowed my eyes.
“Undying passion is a symbol of youth. “Even though your body and martial arts are old, you are still young.”
“….”
“Young people should be young people and run wild as they please without worrying about what others think.”
Inspector Tam looked at this time with trembling eyes.
Don’t stay here because it doesn’t suit your personality, but move forward into the world with ease.
Those were the words this time. And his words were full of sincerity, without a single trace of disappointment or falsehood.
After watching this for a while, a warm smile soon appeared on Tamgyeong’s face.
“It was a great test.”
“It’s not a test?”
Inspector Tam shook his head.
“What I saw was not me in the past, when I galloped across the world. “It was a reward for suppressing evil and bringing peace to the world.”
“is it.”
“exactly. However, this time I just imitated the past a little. That alone is enough for me.”
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious.”
A young smile grew on Tamgyeong’s face.
“I’m serious. How could it not be sincere? I will continue to envy my past self, but that is not an obsession, it is just a memory. “I just realized it.”
“Hehehe.”
“I am too old to run wild and be weighed down by the illusions of memories. “I’m at an age where I can at least make that distinction.”
If this recommendation was sincere, Inspector Tam’s words were also full of sincerity.
Inspector Tam burst into laughter.
“Still, I guess I’m younger than you. “Sometimes I see your hands itching.”
“Puh! “The man who was feared throughout the world as the King of Anger has no particular plan.”
“Why don’t you be a little tactful? “We’re the only ones here anyway.”
“Hehehe.”
Passion knows no age. Likewise, enlightenment is also ageless.
Tamgyeong went out into the world, met a unique junior, became immersed in the desire-filled wind that the world gave him, and gained a little trouble.
And now, by burning away that agony, I was able to rise to a higher level once again. For Tamgyeong, it was the enlightenment of a saint that was more valuable than the rise of martial arts.
This time I shook my head.
“Is there a reason you haven’t told us yet?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about the yellow dragon.”
Inspector Tam’s eyes lit up.
“I heard that that child taught you the teachings of Hwangryonggyeol?”
“exactly.”
“That guy is also a really funny guy. “No matter how much of a deal it is, you can’t help but tell me something like that.”
“Yeonhojeong, that kid is not an idiot. In martial arts, there are separate rules and methods. “He didn’t tell me the rules.”
“still.”
“Furthermore, it is said that in order to awaken the true Yellow Dragon, you must master all the true energies of the Four Gods and at the same time know all of the four divine energies. It is said that to those who do not truly know the Four Gods, Hwangryong’s teachings are nothing more than idle talk.”
“Hmm, I see.”
This time I looked at him with subtle eyes.
“Do you think the same?”
Inspector Tam nodded.
“If you knew the rules, the Dharma text is literally just a Dharma text. “Hwangryong’s sermon, full of metaphors, similes, and poetic expressions with unknown meaning, was at a level that would make even a scholar tilt his head.”
“So what about you? “This applies to you who interpreted this scripture full of enlightenment about immortality and reincarnation.”
This time, he pointed to the wall with his hand.
“Have you found a solution to interpret this content in Huanglong’s sermon?”
Surprisingly, under the bright light of Yamyeongju, numerous letters were densely engraved.
The wall wasn’t rough and the letters were clear. And this wasn’t the only wall like that.
Here in Foshan Cave, letters containing dozens of scriptures were engraved throughout the caves.
“I don’t know yet. However, I think it is almost certain that the person who created this Buddha Mountain Seongmun Stone Wall was Emperor Sabang Wu.”
“hmm.”
A fire burned in this time’s eyes.
A person’s pure passion for learning and his will to pursue his dream. It was said that Tamgyeong had a passion for the secular world in his heart, but he also clearly had his own passion.
“The unique analogy written on the stone wall of the gate here has something in common with the Hwangryong Buddhist Text. “I don’t know whether Emperor Wu of Four Fangs invented the yellow dragon or perfected the yellow dragon he had learned from his predecessors, but it seems clear that Emperor Wu of Four Fangs came here after putting an end to the Rebellion of Blood and Religion.”
“Right.”
This time I looked at the stone wall with trembling eyes.
“Are you sure? “The person who built this stone wall is Emperor Sabang Wu.”
“exactly.”
“Then… Eternal life is reincarnation, and therefore, the person who left the way to heaven saying that one must escape the frame of reincarnation and reach heaven is truly the omnipotent, right?”
Inspector Tam said with a smile.
“Shouldn’t we investigate further and interpret further? “But before that, I need to receive some guests.”
“customer? ah!”
Perhaps because I was concentrating on the stone wall, I didn’t notice any sign of popularity.
This time I made a face.
“These bastards should advertise a lot. “The best adults from all over the central and central regions are gathered here.”
“ha ha ha.”
Two people went out to the same blood.
Outside Donghyeol, there were Yeonhojeong and Beomoh.
Beom-oh immediately gave a half-funeral, and Yeon Ho-jeong slightly bowed his head.
This time he shouted.
“You guys! This is not a place where you can come and go as you please! “What are you going to do if someone catches you?!”
Beom-oh cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed, but Yeon-ho-jeong was different.
“Even the assassins know the identity of this place, so what’s new?”
“What?”
“If you’re going to hide it, hide it well.”
“That guy is so energetic that he taught me the Yellow Dragon Method. Hey! “If you’re going to come, you should at least bring some delicious food. Did you come empty-handed?”
This time, I continued to grunt. I felt very disgusted by the young guests who broke the overwhelming joy at the moment of emotion.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Tamgyeong without answering.
Inspector Tam smiled.
“I tried to find you, but you came directly.”
“I’m so busy with work.”
“I see.”
“So you got what you wanted?”
“I don’t know yet. “Actually, I feel like asking you to tell me the whole Sasinmu.”
“I’m sure you know this is nonsense.”
“Puuuuuuu! Of course I know. “I’m just saying that.”
Inspector Tam’s laughter was very refreshing.
A look flashed in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes. For some reason, I felt that Tamgyeong was a little different from before.
Tamgyeong stopped laughing and looked at Yeonhojeong with deep eyes.
“Actually, there is no need for us to meet again at the time I taught you the Yellow Dragon Method. Since each of us got what we wanted, we can just go our separate ways.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“The old man asked to meet one more time.”
“It did. And the reason I asked to meet again was because I wanted to ask if there was anything unresolved about the Yellow Dragon Method.”
“But?”
“But it’s no longer needed.”
For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Are you sure that you have completely interpreted the Yellow Dragon Method?”
Inspector Tam shook his head.
“Is that possible? I don’t know the rules and I’m illiterate about the Four Gods. “It will probably take a long time to interpret.”
“But why?”
“The Yellow Dragon Method you interpreted is completely focused on martial arts, and the Yellow Dragon Method I interpret is centered on enlightenment. Is there any way that getting advice can solve the problem?”
“Right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“If you do that, you can say there’s nothing left to do.”
“That’s not the case again.”
“Why is that?”
“Because I have something to give you.”
“What should I give you?”
“Okay, I have something for you.”
Inspector Tam, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, suddenly spoke in a serious tone.
“You must not give up the value of loyalty even until the moment you die.”
“…?”
“You must not harm good people, and you must be merciful to others. There is no need to change your personality, but at least righteous blood should not be shed where your ax goes.”
“What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“I didn’t live like that. No matter what the outcome was, my fists were always aimed at evil with justice at my back.”
“…?”
“I hope my strength on your ax will not be soaked with the blood of good men.”
“…?!”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was filled with surprise.
