    [Episode 271] Journey to Shaolin

    “Such a monk. Are you okay?”

    Cheong squatted in front of the fallen Wolbong.

    Cheong’s eyes widened beautifully. Or it would be better to say that it is a strange and beautiful thing.

    “It’s okay. “Other than that good thing.”

    “Well then unless you get up quickly. sleep.”

    Cheong straightened up and held out his hand.

    Wolbong obediently took my hand and stood up –

    “omg.”

    Suddenly Wolbong shakes Cheong’s hand away and avoids his gaze looking somewhat devastated troubled and ashamed. The posture of trying to stand up seemed to have become awkward and had become frozen.

    “Monk?”

    “You go first. “I will follow you.”

    I guess it was because I was embarrassed because I fell while using light ball. Cheong made a cheerful sound from his training center and caught up with the group of Shaolin monks who had already moved a long way away.

    “Haha go guy. But don’t tease me too much. Since I was only in the mountains I couldn’t understand what was unfamiliar to the woman. Just in case don’t get angry. “It’s all a natural phenomenon.”

    Are you saying that being mugwort is natural?

    Cheong tilted his head but Muhak just grinned mischievously and muttered something evil saying “It’s Mabo and Twelve Sijin Chu.”

    But isn’t Mabo’s 12th hour a whole day? No matter how expert you are I think you should pray for his soul to rest in peace.

    “But can I just leave that Bodhisattva like that?”

    Another member of the group that could be called a group.

    There was Seoliri a snowflake that followed keeping her eyes wide open and only focused on Cheong.

    “hmm. “Wherever you go it’s Seol Sojeo’s freedom so there shouldn’t be any problems right?”

    “Don’t you usually ask me to accompany you? “It’s an unusual portrait.”

    When it comes to following someone isn’t it common sense to keep a low profile and follow them without getting caught?

    However perhaps because he thought he could not escape the attention of the best person in the world or because he would not follow other people’s common sense Seol Iri confidently followed Cheong.

    In any case Seongsan is very close to the opening less than 300 miles away.

    Even in Qing’s hometown unscrupulous young people without any skills or muscles walk around carrying heavy luggage for about a hundred miles.

    For experts on such a board it is 300 liya.

    It’s not a distance that can be called a distance in the first place so if you take a half-day to spare and run at a leisurely pace it’s an easy distance that you can reach when you’re a little sweaty and your muscles are a little tight.

    Of course this was only when the person was at the top of the peak or was confident in the light.

    Thanks to this Seoliri gradually moved away from the halfway point and along with the persistent gaze she fell behind beyond the ridge behind her.

    However it is a theory that people in the group take an ambiguous attitude more than strangers.

    So it was very embarrassing to take care of it so the destination was Seongsan anyway and since that huge mountain didn’t have the mobility to escape I thought it would follow me.

    So Seongsan!

    There were five famous mountains in the central plains and they were called Oak. The classification and indexing spirit of the Central Plains cannot be avoided even by mountains.

    Thus Taishan Volcano Mt. Hangsan and Mt. Hangsan existed in the order of north south east and west.

    Since martial arts factions are bound to dominate famous mountains you must become a sword-wielding swordsman known as the four-way sword faction.

    And Seongsan is middle evil. Because it’s in the middle.

    If even Shaolin had used swords all of the martial arts of the five evils could have been swordsmanship but it ended up being canceled because of the tactless people.

    So Shaolin Temple!

    It is the most famous temple in Jungwon. It is the center of the martial arts sect which is also the best sect in the world.

    First of all the majesty of the entrance gate of Shaolin is amazing. It is said that the grandeur of the temple is more akin to a military fortress than a temple and the admiration immediately comes out.

    And inside starting from the famous Shaolin Temple Jigudang Gyeyulwon Paldaehowon Cheonwangjeon Hall and Janggyeonggak are located but the Qing does not know about them anyway.

    Not only do you not know you don’t need to know.

    In any case Shaolin is a sacred place for Geumnyeo and since Cheong will never see it with his own eyes during his lifetime learning about it is useless knowledge anyway.

    But for some reason so many people gathered at Shaolin’s mountain gate that it was noisy and shouts were heard.

    “This is outrageous! Mama wants to eat so why do you unscrupulous people block the way? Even if there were no law in the world where would a child be prevented from entering by his mother?”

    “Amitabha Buddha. Isn’t the precepts of Shaolin already well known to you? “Please stop talking.”

    “What are you doing! “Don’t open the road right away!”

    When the Qing arrived a not-so-fierce battle was taking place between the monks blocking the door and the government forces trying to clear the way.

    It is accurate to say that it was not intense.

    The robes of the Shaolin Temple monks have a single hem of a robe wrapped around their upper body exposing only their chest. Even from the outside they are experts in external exercises with their muscles like stones clearly exposed.

    It is widely known that Shaolin monks train both internal and external martial arts so the Shaolin monks who wear the shameless clothes that are allowed because they are men are masters that the government and military cannot dare to confront.

    Meanwhile the Shaolin monks also have no desire to see blood at the sacred mountain temple.

    Therefore a strange scene was unfolding where the government troops only pretended to rush in and the Shaolin monks only moderately pushed back and they only fought each other without much intensity.

    “What is this? oh my. Amitabha Buddha…”

    I thought Master Muhak was muttering a short Buddhist scripture but then-

    “conflict!!!”

    Let’s go to Shaolin Lion’s House! This took off.

    If you say ‘gal’ you will be scolded for saying ‘gal’ this guy! It was consistent with the expression.

    The reason why I shout about this guy and not this guy is because the dignity of a martial artist can become an enemy by recklessly shouting about this guy and that guy.

    Originally ‘Lion’s Hu’ was written in the Buddhist scripture Yuma Sutra.

    The text said that just as all animals submit to the roar of a lion Buddha’s sermons subdue all demons. Therefore Lion’s Hu refers to the great words of Buddha.

    The Shaolin martial arts Lion’s Hood which was created based on that image was a profound music therapy or sound technique that had the ability to erase fraud from the mind and calm the excited mind.

    The commotion suddenly stopped at that pure sound.

    Because it is the lion’s rear of the greatest person in the world it is the most powerful lion’s rear among the lion’s rears.

    However the person who was most influenced by After the Lion was not the Shaolin monks or the government officials but the Qing Dynasty.

    For a moment I lost consciousness and felt like my insides were being squeezed and a fishy substance flowed back from my throat. What did I think I was doing? Cheong’s eyes are bright and exceptionally clear as he swallows.

    “Namu Amitabha Buddha. Everyone this is not a Buddhist temple. “Even though Shaolin is secular it is a place where outsiders who are nominally monks recite Buddhist scriptures so why can’t you keep quiet and make a fuss?”

    “Monk Bangjang!” “Great monk!” “line!”

    The expressions on the faces of the Shaolin monks are bright.

    It could be said to be the expression of a child who meets his father in the midst of a fight with his peers.

    What was surprising was that the expressions of the officials were bright. It was some kind of calculation that even if the best person in the world appeared he would not make a suicide attack.

    “hmm.”

    Then one person appears among them and makes an arrogant gesture. A man who appeared to be his adjutant waved a flag and the government soldiers retreated from the mountain gate and formed a camp behind them.

    The person standing in front was arrogant and confident but as soon as he opened his mouth for a moment his expression changed completely.

    “It is said that a small person is a great person with a sense of well-being. I am a lowly eunuch who serves the Empress who is the mother of all people in the world. “It is simply that the Mother of the Nation wishes to offer Buddhist worship at the best temple in the world for three months from today.”

    It is not the kind of tone that is typical of eunuchs like the gentle charming tone of a woman.

    However the beauty which was closer to a woman’s than a man’s did not suit his manly angular face at all.

    Apart from that what the eunuch said was Gyeongsagam’s words were not at all light.

    Doesn’t this mean that the Empress who is the wife of the Emperor came in person?

    Indeed there was an extravagant carriage behind it and it was dazzling with the unique sparkle of gold.

    “Hmm. When it comes to Buddhist worship the size and fame of the temple do not determine its size. Also even if Shaolin is said to be the best temple in the world it is famous for the power of its single body. Wouldn’t it be a shame to be considered a nobody among prominent Buddhist monks for studying Buddhist scriptures? “Please take this into account and pass on the words.”

    Is there anything special about offering Buddhist prayers at a good temple? Instead of coming to a place that doesn’t welcome you try going somewhere else.

    “However when the Mother of the Nation offers her prayers how can you ask us to kneel at an ordinary anonymous temple? “With the grace of the royal family Shaolin’s merits have become so high. Wouldn’t it be a good thing if we could enjoy even a little of it together?”

    It’s not just anyone else it’s the Empress so are you going to stretch it out? And wasn’t all the fields around you given down by the imperial family? When you receive the land it will be the glory of the world and you will give it to the Buddha so are you taking it away now?

    “However through the words given by Bodhi he prohibited women from entering and directed them to advance. This is not because they are too stupid to even wish for a woman’s merits. “If you want the mysterious merits of a female temple isn’t the virtue possessed by Ami from the land of Sichuan great?”

    What spiritual benefit would there be if a woman prayed for merit in the presence of only men? Rather go to Amifa over there. That’s where women specialize.

    “Of course I know that the words of Sajo are precious. But isn’t this a monk’s rule and not a secular law? “How could someone who walks the path of Buddhism want to cast out wandering beings so harshly?”

    I know you guys are letting it in secretly too.

    Instead of leaving them out for no reason why not let them in when they have good words to say?

    In fact the precept prohibiting women from entering is not a national law stamped with the words “Women of the world you are not allowed in.”

    The precepts of the Shaolin temple are closer to the rule that Shaolin monks must follow not to bring women into sacred temples.

    Of course this is the interpretation of the Buddhist monk Muhak who is a moderate in terms of precepts.

    In fact there were three or four women a year one per season who came dressed as men.

    That’s how many people get caught so if you count the women who didn’t get caught and gave Buddhist prayers it’s probably quite a number.

    “Hmm.”

    Ambassador Muhak let out an uncomfortable groan.

    Since they couldn’t punish Yang Min harshly for coming in with a desperate heart they just tell him not to do that again and kick him out.

    Of course if you are a martial artist the story is different.

    “That’s true but how can it be that even though it is an attitude of offering Buddhist merit it has become an event that mobilizes so many soldiers and makes all the people in the world know about it? “Because government affairs are inviolable clean mountain temples should not be used in any other way.”

    Then did you come here secretly or so openly?

    If he had come secretly I would have let him in and given him some fireworks. It seems like they want to clearly show the whole world that the rules of Shaolin are being broken so how can they let them in now?

    Thus the argument between the two proud leaders continued in a chaotic manner.

    Of course if you are an unmanned person you should fight physically not verbally.

    However if they fight right now they are government soldiers who will not be able to avoid being exterminated.

    However it is not the end just because Shaolin came and won and killed them all. Afterwards artillery shells will rain down like heavy rain and we will only be reminded of the sad fact that history is repeating itself so we cannot do anything about it.

    In fact Ambassador Muhak had already sensed defeat at this point.

    No matter how inviolable the government and the power of the imperial palace is a toothless paper tiger it is impossible to directly challenge the authority of the Emperor.

    So it has become really bad. It is clear that the imperial family is also showing their ambition for martial arts again like this.

    It was a time when I let out a deep sigh due to a vague intuition that perhaps a major blood disaster might occur in Murim again.

    Sweet. And Cheolpudeok.

    It was the small sound of a door opening and the low noise of something falling and falling.

    However the result of that small noise became a huge wave that swept over the venue –

    “The mother of the nation the mother of the nation was born! “Why don’t you show some courtesy right now!”

    In response the warriors soldiers and civilians alike rushed to put their hands together bowed deeply knelt placed their foreheads on the ground and bowed with both hands on their foreheads.

    Cheongdo hurriedly imitated the Muhak line but then I thought “Oh this must be the monk’s way” so I naturally changed my movements put my knees on the ground and bowed deeply.

    Then someone poked my side and I turned my head and Seoliri who was kneeling down and arching her back shook her head as if it wasn’t that.

    Oh isn’t that a big bow? Cheong followed Seoliri and performed the Ungeojuchum ceremony.

    Actually since I didn’t know Seol very well it didn’t matter to either of them.

    Greeting methods differed slightly depending on status age and gender but one thing was clear.

    In any case the Empress is the mother of all national empresses so you should not dare to make eye contact.

    Thus in front of Shaolin’s mountain gate which had become so quiet that even the sound of ants crawling could be heard only the sound of weak thumping footsteps echoed.

    what? It seems like we’re getting closer?

    And then a voice comes out.

    “sonny. “Would you please raise your head?”
