The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 227
◈ Episode 227 About Avatar (2)
“…Buddha?”
“huh.”
“The Buddha I know??”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, the guide nodded and spoke.
“The Buddha you know is probably right. “That’s the origin.”
At the guide’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously frowned and spoke.
“…That’s Buddha?”
“Yes, to be exact, it is not the original Buddha.”
“…What do you mean by not being the original Buddha?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a frown as his mind became more and more confused, the guide sighed and spoke.
“So, I told you that it would be difficult to understand properly if you don’t listen carefully from the beginning.”
“….”
This time, Kim Joo-hyuk remains silent as if the guide’s words were right.
However, after a while, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood and then spoke.
“First of all, I knew that the guy who attacked me was Buddha. Then why is he attacking me? “There must be some reason, right?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asked that question and recalled the time he met Buddha.
The image of Buddha repeatedly saying that he would kill you if he went outside.
The guide spoke as if nothing had happened.
“Because I have to kill you.”
“what?”
“Literally, Buddha has to kill you. “No, not just Buddha, but others as well.”
“why?”
“That’s…”
The guide looked at Kim Joo-hyuk once, remained silent for a long time, then shook his head and spoke.
“Of course it won’t work now.”
“what? “What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked, the guide quickly changed his expression to serious and spoke.
“…No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I can tell you this story entirely, omitting the things you did.”
“Then you can’t tell me the story-”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned at the guide’s words and tried to talk.
“one.”
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk silenced his voice at the guidance’s voice.
“what?”
“one. That’s enough. First, let’s find just one name. Or even a fragment of it.”
“…What are you talking about?”
Guidance on Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Literally. The idea is to find at least one fragment of it. “If you successfully find even one name, I’ll tell you all about it then.”
He opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“About me too.”
####
Labyrinth Lord’s office.
Where everything is made of ebony.
“So you ended up not finding out anything about the name?”
In response to Barce’s question, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and spoke.
“Yes, in the end, he said he would tell me everything once he found at least one name. “Even about myself.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Barce made a disapproving expression and spoke.
“Well, the question of who attacked you has now been resolved.”
“That’s true too.”
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled what the guide said.
‘It’s not the original Buddha…’
The guide said that although it was definitely Buddha, it was not the original Buddha.
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t really understand what that meant, but he soon organized his thoughts.
‘You’ll find out when you find the name.’
As Kim Joo-hyuk thought so, he recalled the image of his guide talking to him with a very serious expression.
While thinking like that, Barche opened his mouth.
“By the way, did you ask about the tiger beast?”
“Of course I asked.”
“What is the answer?”
Hearing Barce’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk thought about the past.
‘A tiger beast? Are you talking about the guy with yellow hair and a bit of a fierce look?’
‘To be honest, I don’t know the details about the tiger beastman, but one thing I know for sure is that the tiger beastman is one of the two disciples you raised before.’
‘Anything else besides that? I don’t know. In the first place, Tiger Beast was your student, not mine. It didn’t really have anything to do with me. I just know it because I heard it too.’
“…They say he was one of the two disciples I had.”
Barce spoke about Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“Isn’t that what you roughly expected? “Because I called you Master.”
“That’s right. “But seeing as you’re one of two students, I guess I originally had two students.”
“That’s the only information I got.”
“yes.”
“Then there is only one thing left.”
“Is there anything else left to ask?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Barce nodded and spoke.
“In the end, didn’t they say that the guide must find your name to tell you the truth? “Then didn’t you tell us any clues about how to find your name?”
Barce’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk responded by nodding his head.
“No, I told you.”
“You told me a story?”
“okay. “After thinking about it for a while, he asked me to meet him and Zhong Liquan.”
“…Zhong Liquan?”
Why does that name suddenly appear there? Barce makes an expression.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at his expression, shrugged his shoulders, and spoke.
“They said that maybe it could provide some solid clues to finding one of my names.”
“…That’s quite elaborate.”
“yes?”
Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled as he said that, then turned his gaze to ask Barce a question.
“And you?”
“me?”
“So you’re not looking for your name? If you think about it, you didn’t really look for all the names even after you came here in the first place, right?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk said, Barce has not been able to find all the names even though he is currently in the labyrinth.
The reason was because Barche’s name was not in the labyrinth.
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk thought he might have found the wrong name and took Barche to a famous reincarnation center to search for him, but Barche’s name was nowhere to be found except for the name that Changju first found and the names that remained after that.
In short, I couldn’t find all the names.
At that time, Kim Joo-hyuk wondered if Myeongmok might have digested Barche’s original name, but according to Changju, Myeongmok took the power of the name and created good fruits, but the form remained.
That means Barce’s original name was not here.
“I also want to find it, but how can I find it when I don’t even know where it is in the first place?”
That’s why Barce had no choice but to say that to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Well, when Zhong Liquan comes this time, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask him about you.”
“If I really think about it, it seemed like he knew me to some extent.”
Barce responded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s next words by nodding his head.

There have been quite a few people coming and going from the Zhongliquan residence in the volcano recently.
And among them, the one that comes and goes the most.
“It’s been a while.”
“It’s been a while, but didn’t you come and go just a week ago?”
It was he who first heard about the 5th Labyrinth.
Zhong Liquan, who was watching him leisurely come down and sit in front of him, immediately shook his head and spoke.
“Three days ago, Samjang’s pig came and two days ago, Paesun came. But this time it’s the army of heaven.”
“Why are you doing this again? “It’s a face I see often.”
“Isn’t this a face you see often, but a face you see whenever you need it?”
“Hehehe.”
The King of Iron Pillars, who had passed off Zhong Liquan’s sarcasm with a half-hearted laugh, soon spoke.
“Well, don’t think too much about it. “The reason I came here in the first place was because I wanted to hear more, but I also came here to tell you various stories as a bonus.”
“Do you really think that I have less intelligence than you?”
Jong Li-kwon asks.
The Iron Throne Army shook its head.
“No, who would think that they are more knowledgeable than you, who travels all over the world in one step? “But this is something you probably don’t know.”
“What is that?”
Zhong Liquan asks a question.
The Iron Throne Army opened his mouth with a sigh.
“The fish king of the deep sea has begun to move. The mandala also moved, and the mountains and small people suddenly began to move.”
Zhong Liquan turned his gaze to the Iron Chair’s words and asked.
“…Has it started to move?”
“okay. “It seems like what you said is true.”
Zhong Liquan didn’t say anything and kept his mouth shut at the words of the Iron Chair, and the Iron Chair, who was staring at him, spoke.
“so. “What are you going to do?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m asking you whether you should remain silent or stick.”
Zhong Liquan kept his mouth shut at the Iron Throne’s words.
That’s how the silence started.
The Emperor of Iron Pillars looked at Zhong Liquan, who was silent for a long time without opening his mouth, and Zhong Liquan looked at him and opened his mouth.
“Did you really come to ask that?”
“I’m a little curious. “Didn’t you receive help once in the past?”
“Tsk. “Are you saying that being beaten backwards is a help?”
“If I just ended up getting kicked out of the mess, wouldn’t I have received enough help?”
“….”
Zhong Liquan closed his mouth as if he couldn’t deny it.
The Iron Throne Army, who was looking at him, immediately shrugged his shoulders and stood up.
“Well, actually, that’s what I said, but I came here to tell you this story rather than to listen to your thoughts.”
“…you?”
Zhong Liquan looks at the Iron Throne Army with an expression of complete disbelief.
The Iron Throne King shrugged his shoulders again and spoke.
“Didn’t you also tell me that Black Dream was involved? Let’s call it the price you pay for it.”
After saying that, the King of Iron Thrones immediately disappeared as if he had said everything he wanted to say, and Zhong Liquan was looking at the place where the King of Iron Thrones had disappeared.
“Tsk. “It’s confusing my mind for no reason.”
He scratched his bald head as if he was annoyed and closed his eyes tightly with an expression of stress.
Clearly, this was a very troublesome issue for him.
‘Actually, originally I was going to just leave it alone.’
Now that I’m in this situation, not only have I received something in the past, but I also have a history of betraying those who previously benefited from that idiotic Labyrinth Master, so it’s a very uncomfortable situation to remain silent.
‘What should I do…’
That was when Zhong Liquan was frowning like that.
Rustling.
“…?”
Zhong Liquan turned his head when he realized that another new customer had arrived.
“Over there…”
“Are you there?”
Soon he was able to find two men standing with very tired expressions, as if they had walked up the volcano’s remote area with great difficulty.
He looks very tired and very shabby.
Zhong Liquan thought of the faces of the two in his head, but no name in particular came to mind.
“…Who are you?”
I immediately asked that question.
So after a while.
In the Labyrinth Lord’s office.
[I will take Zhong Liquan with me now…!]
“Good.”
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled as he listened to the reports of Hwal Joo and Kwon Joo, who successfully completed the deal with him.
