Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 861

The blooming strongmen (1)

Ambassador Gong, looking at Yeonhojeong, sighed.

“It’s a foul.”

“….”

“It’s against the rules to say that, Sobuju.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“This is for the world. Not only can he cheat when it comes to fouls, but he can also blow people in the back of the head if necessary.”

“I’m really not confident. “I’m a person who thinks it shouldn’t be like that in the first place.”

“Do you really think so?”

“That’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong asked Seung Hyeon-jin.

“Jinin, when you see it, don’t you think you are suited to be a Murim lord?”

Seunghyunjin shook his head.

“Is there anyone else in the world at the time who is as worthy of Meng Juwi as the Shaolin master?”

“Look here, Jinin.”

“Hehe, Sobuju just asked me a question. “I conveyed my thoughts honestly, so the ambassador will have nothing to say.”

The public ambassador sighed again.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked Zhuge Mun-ho.

“What do you think of me, soldier?”

Zhuge Wenhu let out a laugh.

“That’s really like you. “It’s bold and dangerous.”

“Of course.”

“But as if it was a scheme that came out of your head….”

“Haha, a scheme?”

“Fascinating.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled and said to Ambassador Gong.

“Isn’t this someone who was prepared to burn themselves a long time ago?”

“Military.”

“Can’t you burn for everyone?”

Die proudly.

Such terrifying words were not something to be laughed at. However, the three people burst into laughter.

This was because I knew that the words “die and burn” did not really mean “die.” At the same time, I also know that the ability and personality of a public ambassador are sufficient to discuss the world.

The public ambassador shook his head.

“Binseung is a person who has a lot of troubles even though he has reached this position. “Even if I shake it off and shake it off again, when I look back, I find myself reciting Buddhist sutras several times a day at the reverberations of this anguish that is still attached to me.”

A public ambassador who has suddenly become serious.

Even the smiling faces of the three people had a serious look on their faces.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked.

“What bothers you so much?”

“There are too many to list.”

The public ambassador looked up at the ceiling and said.

“Sometimes I feel like I want to get rid of lawlessness and live my life the way I want. As you said, there are times when the thought of wanting to wield power to your heart’s content occurs to you.”

It was unexpected. It seemed like public ambassadors would never think like that.

But he was also human. Although I had been pampering myself with the Buddha-centeredness and loving-kindness I had gained by throwing myself into the river of Buddha-dharma due to my natural ability, there were still moments here and there that I could not wash away.

“It has grown in size every time I have risen to a position of importance in the minds of others.”

He was the person who started out as a monk, became the youngest Arhat, and from the youngest Arhat to the youngest Arhat master, he rose through the ranks of the Eight Great Princes and quickly rose to the position of head.

It was not because he was a disciple of his teacher, Muheo Daesa, who was known as a martial arts legend. In fact, Gong Gong’s talent and power were great, and his abilities were also outstanding.

however.

In fact, Gong Gong could not smile while everyone was bowing their heads in admiration. It was because at some point I couldn’t find myself as pure.

“I still remember when I became the host and received everyone’s congratulations.”

The public ambassador laughed bitterly.

“I wanted to drink a strong drink that I had never tasted before in my life. I wanted to put the tobacco in my mouth that other people smoked so much. Do you know why?”

“I do not know.”

“It’s because I knew that no one would say anything to me even if I poured myself a drink and puffed on cigarette smoke. “Everyone will be embarrassed, but I wanted to do it because I wanted to see the faces of the monks who didn’t dare say a word.”

Seunghyunjin’s eyes deepened.

He could not understand the public ambassador’s feelings. For someone who has lived his entire life as a friend of nature and knows the hierarchy, but considers everyone to be a part of the soil, the agony of the public ambassador was something he could not understand.

But it felt like I knew.

Just because I didn’t live that way doesn’t mean I can’t empathize with other people’s worries and anguish. Although Seung Hyeon-jin had never done this before, he vaguely understood public speaking.

And Yeon Hao-jeong and Zhuge Wenhu understood public ambassadors much better than Seunghyeonjinin.

“Half of my life has been absorbed into Buddhism. And half of it was a struggle to throw away worries.”

“….”

“What if I sit in the position of the Murim Lord? “How great anguish will come at that time?”

“Isn’t it a practice?”

Unlike the public ambassador’s voice, which felt frustrated and as if he was suppressing his emotions, Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice sounded refreshing.

“What does that mean?”

“Are you feeling sorry for the troubles that have come your way? Or are you scared? Or are you afraid that the training you have achieved will be nothing in the face of the anguish that is gradually increasing in size?”

The public ambassador lamented.

“It’s all of that. “I am afraid of troubles.”

“I hate bugs.”

“…What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“In places where the air is clear and humidity is high, bugs can become deformed and large. “I have seen countless insects like that.”

“….”

“But I knew there was a way there, so I had no choice but to go even if I didn’t want to. And I killed all the bugs that stuck to my body. “I killed all the poisonous snakes and centipedes that tried to poison me.”

“….”

“I wandered around Yunnan like that for several months. “It was a terrible memory.”

Yeon Ho-jeong placed his hand on his chest.

“But this is how I live. “It was difficult, but I definitely achieved what I wanted and came back.”

“….”

“If I hadn’t walked that path because I was afraid of bugs and felt uncomfortable, I would have regretted it to this day.”

“Look here, Sobuju. I…”

“If you are afraid of greater suffering, just walk. But if you don’t want to admit the reality that suffering comes even after decades of practice…”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his gaze to Seung Hyeon-jin.

“I will not bother the Ambassador any more. Instead, I will teach the adult shaman Jangmun.”

Seunghyeonjinin chuckled.

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his gaze back to the public ambassador.

“As someone who cares about the Murim Alliance regardless of position, there is a reason why I think the soldier and I should serve the Ambassador as our leader. “It may be a bit hasty to judge, but everyone, not just us, will think that way.”

Seung Hyun Jin-in nodded.

“I guess so. Even if there are people who are dissatisfied, no one will dare say that the appointment was wrong.”

“In other words, we recognize your abilities and character, and at the same time, we want you to make a sacrifice.”

In a calm voice.

Yeon Ho-jeong especially gave strength to the word ‘sacrifice’.

“Are you afraid that greater troubles will come? Do not worry. Even if the Ambassador goes astray, there are so many people who can correct it.”

“….”

“Don’t you want to admit your troubles? You need to climb even higher. Even if you don’t want to admit it, encountering it in a place where you have no choice but to admit it will serve as good firewood that can further grow the pure flame in your heart.”

It’s strange.

As Master Gong Gong listened to Yeon Ho-jeong’s words, he felt that his voice was similar to that of a high priest reading Buddhist scriptures.

It was truly a strange experience. How can his voice sound so smooth even though he makes somewhat provocative remarks? I couldn’t tell if it was because Yeon Ho-jeong was special or because my mind was strange.

“Wouldn’t the growing suffering mean that you are getting closer to the light?”

“light…?!”

“He did not throw himself into infinite darkness for fear of further anguish.”

The public ambassador’s eyes wavered.

It was visible in both Yeonwi’s eyes and Moyonggun’s eyes. Of course, it will be visible to Yeon Ho-jeong, whose name is in Seongcheon.

But that was a thing of the past. The place where I stayed was still right in front of Infinite, but because I stayed there for too long, I was in the process of losing the enlightenment that could have been achieved one by one.

“I am a poor person.”

“That’s right. “You don’t even acknowledge it because you’re not good enough.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“You don’t think why everyone wants you here, Ambassador.”

“No. I’m thinking. “That’s why I’m grateful, and that’s why I don’t feel ashamed.”

“No. That’s not what you think. “It’s closer to cotton.”

“What do you mean cotton?”

“The reason we want you, Ambassador, is not because we want you to be good at something, but because we think you won’t be bad at something.”

“…!!”

“Furthermore, I know that you will definitely sacrifice when you have to. “There are not many people who can resist temptation and make a decision like that.”

“….”

“And you know that, Ambassador. But the Ambassador is stubbornly refusing with the excuse that he is afraid of suffering.”

“….”

“If you truly say that you don’t want to come up because you feel burdened and don’t like the position, then how can we be so strong about it? But until now, the Ambassador has not said that he really dislikes the position.”

“that…!”

“Not everyone gets this opportunity, Ambassador.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s smile became warmer.

“It is an opportunity to overcome the most dangerous and deepest suffering in the face of the greatest suffering. “As a monk who follows Buddhism and an adult of martial arts, how can you turn down this great opportunity?”

The public ambassador lamented.

“It’s an opportunity to overcome the agony….”

“I think it’s okay for Seung Hyeon-jin, who is here, rather than the Ambassador, to become the first leader. “He is a person worthy of sacrificing himself like the Ambassador.”

Seunghyunjin joked.

“You can become crazy about power and live extravagantly.”

“Nevertheless, I want you to become the leader.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who ignored Seung Hyeon-jin’s words with a laugh, spoke seriously.

“This is because I think that someone who knows their own limitations and who knows their own vulgarity is better suited to be a leader than someone who is closer to a immortal than a human.”

Those who are closer to immortals than humans are Seunghyeonjinin, and those who know their own limitations are public ambassadors.

The two people Yeon Ho-jeong saw were like that. Seung Hyeon Jin-in cleared his throat because Yeon Ho-jeong’s praise was burdensome, and Ambassador Gong Gong felt embarrassed because he thought he was worse than knowing his limitations and being worldly.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the two people, said to Zhuge Mun-ho.

“I have said everything I have to say. “If I have to convince you more, I think I’ll be the only one who becomes the bad guy.”

“Isn’t that your role? “The person who went to the Mukryongbu and became Lord of Sobu speaks well.”

“ha ha ha! “It was so cruel in the eyes of the people, but it can’t be the same for the public servants, right?”

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up and looked at the public ambassador.

Could it be that he was possessed by agony in that brief moment?

The face of the public ambassador, who was looking blankly down at the table and muttering, was full of seriousness and laxity.

Seunghyeonjinin looked at Yeonhojeong with admiring eyes.

“Your thoughts have reached the heart of Arhat.”

“Is that so?”

“You planted trouble. “Did you give me a prescription to help me overcome greater anguish?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and lowered his head.

“I’ll just go now.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to hide.”

“Hide? “What do you mean?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked towards the east.

“Someone else is coming. I think they’ll be looking for me.”

“Yes?!”

“I’ve told you everything, so I’ll have to train and teach you.”
