Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 906
Episode 906
Breath of the Demon (1)
“Hmm.”
The public ambassador’s eyes deepened. His eyes were mysterious, as if he was lost in thought or had decided on something.
Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.
“Shall we send additional troops?”
The public ambassador shook his head.
“I’m not sure.”
“According to intelligence, the enemy forces are not very large. But as much as I don’t know what kind of expert is hiding inside….”
“No, that’s not what I’m saying.”
“yes?”
The public ambassador tilted his head.
“Chief Murim’s local provocation itself is not a big deal. The reason is because this situation was already foreseen by me, Zhuge Commander, and Duke Feng.”
“That’s right. “I have already guessed that there is a high possibility that the three religions have taken control of the Seojang martial forest and are manipulating them like their own hands and tribes.”
“The question is, why now?”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
The public ambassador nodded.
“It must be because of Confucius Cheon Hyorak of Shinmarim.”
“of course.”
“Probably the real troops were headed toward Yeonsobuju.”
“I think so too.”
“What is the reason for sending secondary troops separately?”
“Because I don’t think it’s a simple gender equality book. Chief Murim is also one of the powers that have had their eyes on the Central Plains in the past. This was especially true of Soreoeumsa Temple.”
“It was like that.”
“In fact, it is difficult to even describe this as a gender equality book. There is no need to turn your attention in this direction because there is not enough time to send troops to Sobuju’s group, who have already traveled a long way. However, Soroeumsa’s role would be to draw a line so that Sobuju’s party would not dare to go to help them until they reach Sinmarim.”
The ambassador’s eyes sparkled.
“What the military is saying is that there is a high possibility that they also sent experts of their own stature to taste the power of the central plains?”
“That may be true, but there may be a bigger problem than that.”
“A bigger problem?”
“It’s missionary work.”
The ambassador’s face hardened.
“Unlike Daeroeumsa, Solaeyumsa chose the path of pursuing only power. “It is famous for its strange doctrine that interprets the Buddhist law in a strange way and exposes desires as they are.”
“….”
“Soreoeumsa is a place in Seojang where likes and dislikes are extremely divided. “Regardless of their military power, their doctrine itself is not easy to understand through common sense.”
“yes.”
“But I heard that once those who enter Soreouin Temple can never get out.”
“Hmm.”
“It is not to prevent them from escaping, but because those who are absorbed in doctrine are viewing the world incorrectly. “Their doctrines are so strange and dangerous.”
“In other words, there is a possibility that they will spread their doctrine to the Central Plains?”
“I think there’s a pretty high probability that it could happen. Maybe…”
Zhuge Wenho’s eyes narrowed.
“You can also think that this is to lay a paving stone in advance for the area they will occupy after taking over the central plain.”
Quack!
Ambassador Gong’s hand broke the handle of the Emperor’s throne.
Although he was merciful and wise, he couldn’t help but become sensitive to Soroeuumsa’s behavior.
In the past, Shaolin often interacted with Daeroeumsa. Although it was not formal, mendicants who went to a mountain temple to explore the world shared teachings with each other as they traveled back and forth between the central and western regions.
But Soreoeumsa was different.
They defined Shaolin and Daerei dervishes as heretics and incited public sentiment to arrest and kill them. It was not known to the world, but the number of such cases was close to double digits.
With such a dark history, even the world’s public ambassadors have no choice but to be sensitive.
“The false teaching is the devil itself. When the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the Mara of the world of desires tested him with all sorts of temptations out of fear that his well-being would be shaken, but he did not waver.”
“….”
“Everyone in this world can become a Buddha. However, humans are imperfect beings, and those who are caught up in reality and do not pay attention to the truth can easily be deceived by the teachings of xie jiao.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly looking up at the ceiling, said.
“Call us.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
But even for a moment.
“All right.”
After a while.
Mo Yong-woo heard about Maengjujeon.
“See you, Lord.”
The public ambassador smiled.
“I haven’t officially declared you as the leader’s disciple yet, but since our path is the same, Binseung already considers you to be one of my successors.”
It was an old-fashioned and benevolent tone of voice.
Mo Yong-woo bowed his head without saying a word.
“It seems like Yeonhojeong Sobuju wants to make you the next leader.”
“….”
“Yes, if someone with such discerning eyes saw you as a talented person worthy of becoming the leader of the Baekdo Martial Arts, there must be a good reason for it.”
Mo Yong-woo was neither embarrassed nor ashamed.
Ambassador Gong continued.
“Senior Jong-ri-baek, who has become a free minister, put his position on the line and asked me a favor. “He was requesting that his student Oh Gu-moon be included as one of the successor candidates.”
“yes. I heard.”
“However, Supreme Master Zhongli did not want his disciple to become the next Murim lord. No, it actually seemed like he hated it. Nevertheless, he wanted to appoint his disciple as a leader candidate. “What do you think is the reason?”
Mo Yong-woo said calmly.
“Isn’t this meant to help people learn about the world under heaven?”
The ambassador smiled in satisfaction.
“right. I saw it right. “That is why Supreme Master Zhongli entrusted his disciple to me.”
“….”
“No matter how wide the Murim Alliance is, how can we learn about the world within it? “Isn’t the Murim Alliance a federation that exists as part of the world rather than a place that contains the world?”
“yes.”
“Ogumun was also well aware of his teacher’s intentions. “From the beginning, I thought that Gu Mun’s personality was free-spirited and without hesitation, so he was not a suitable person for a position where he had to take responsibility.”
Why does he say things like this?
Ambassador Gong continued.
“It’s not just syntax.”
“…?”
“The Grand Duke of Nangong and the Grand Duke of the Peng family are also human, so they each have their own flaws. “Just like you and me.”
“…!”
“The same goes for the Zhuge family’s Xiao family. The military taught us well, but we are young and inexperienced, and even if we pretend not to be, we get excited easily. “He is a good young man, but he lacks many things.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean…?”
“Yes. “I plan to make you, Gugun Namgung, the Grand Duke of the Peng family, as well as the military’s eldest son as succession candidates.”
“…!!”
Could this be too much?
A thought like that suddenly occurred to Mo Yong-woo, but he quickly lowered his head. Ambassador Gong Gong and Zhuge Wenhu are rare figures. Everyone will have their own thoughts.
“I would like to add one more person as a successor candidate.”
“Who is it?”
“Dang Sang-ah, the daughter of the Dang family.”
“…!”
“I received a separate message from the head of the party. “He said so.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes wavered for the first time.
The public ambassador shook his head.
“The one who is qualified among these will become the next leader. However, I and all of us do not see martial arts alone as a requirement for the next leader.”
“….”
“It’s heaven.”
“Under the world….”
“Those who know the world, those who see the world, those who listen to the world.”
“….”
“As we are all members of the faction, there is no need to worry about nothing. They are geniuses who are ready to become stronger at any time. However, even for a rare genius, knowing the world is a different matter.”
Mo Yong-woo asked.
“What is Heaven?”
“The question of what heaven is is meaningless. The reason is because everyone’s view of the world is different.”
“….”
“The next leader must be better than the first leader in every way. But martial arts does not belong to all of those aspects. We are living in difficult times. There are people who must fight the world with strong martial arts skills, and there are others who must lead the world. I think so.”
“…yes.”
Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-woo, spoke again.
“I know it’s confusing.”
“….”
“Yeon Sobu-ju’s words: I know that in a way, he became the leading candidate by force. “You must feel burdened by the position you are in now.”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-woo never told a lie.
The public ambassador smiled. It was really nice to hear Mo Yong-woo’s voice honestly expressing his confusion.
“But you didn’t refuse.”
“That is also true.”
“Do you have greed?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“You have no desire, so why didn’t you refuse this position?”
Mo Yong-woo closed his eyes.
Although he was confused, he was able to come to grips with his own thoughts little by little.
“I have no greed, but I ran to see a higher place. However, I soon started to bump into other members of the unit and thought that life with them was also good.”
“But?”
“One day, I suddenly realized something.”
Mo Yong-woo opened his eyes again.
“I don’t know all my talents. I don’t know how far I can go. And I wasn’t sure how I would survive.”
“….”
“Not anymore.”
“….”
“All of the soldiers of the Uijeong County are the ones who became a light to me. Your relationship with them will continue until the moment you die. “I still want to remain a military commander, but I also want to learn about the world in another place.”
“Is that so?”
“Even if I leave my post to learn about the world, the soldiers will not blame me. The reason is that even if the soldiers decide to quit the Loyalist Army, I will not blame them either.”
The public ambassador burst into laughter.
Mo Yong-woo did not laugh. His face was as calm as it was full of deep seriousness.
“Uijeong-gun is one of the places I will return to. “Now that I’m out of my hometown, I have to see more of the world.”
“Is that so?”
“This is heavenly luck. Yeonje is a younger brother who is so worthy of me. “But if Yeonje, who has such great insight, saw something in me, and if that was a path I had not taken before.”
“….”
“Even though I may fail and be frustrated, I have no intention of turning a blind eye to the path that unfolds before me.”
The public ambassador burst into laughter.
“You have already taken one step towards the world.”
“But I don’t know what that world is.”
“It’s a place I hang out in without even knowing it, but the more I try to find out about it, the farther away it goes. “That is the world.”
Ambassador Gong Gong handed Mo Yong-woo a piece of paper lying aside.
“Chief Wulin’s troops were torn apart in Gansu. Some of them are moving through northern Shaanxi and toward Shanxi.”
“…!”
“There will be powerful experts. “No one has ever entered a state of non-existence, but maybe it exists.”
“….”
“Can you take out all the candidates and defeat them?”
Mo Yong-woo bowed his head.
“I will try.”
“They will disturb the public sentiment with false doctrines and will resort to vicious measures to expand their religious affiliation.”
Mo Yong-woo immediately understood what the ambassador said.
“Fighting is important, but the most important thing is controlling the public sentiment.”
“…haha.”
Admiration appeared on the public ambassador’s face.
“You already know what’s important.”
“It’s just experience.”
“good night. We will also contact other candidates separately. “Be fully prepared to leave at dawn tomorrow.”
“I follow your orders.”
Mo Yong-woo stood up with his head down and left Maengjujeon.
A warm spring breeze passed by the tip of my nose. The refreshing scent of grass and the calming scent of flowers calmed my mind.
Mo Yong-woo’s face looked confused as he looked at the sky.
“Be humble….”
