Chapter 263

Episode 263. Looking at the face, I think I know

Shanxi.

parish prefecture.

Pungjisan Seonnyeoam Hermitage.

shrine.

Sinmo, who was immersed in meditation, slowly opened her eyes.

After a while, a middle-aged man appeared like a ghost in the yard full of flowers.

He was one of the eight masters who escorted the new mother.

“What’s going on?”

“Looking for a breakwater to replace the Headmaster’s Mansubang seems to have to be delayed a bit.”

“Why?”

“Right now, the government department and openness are extensively investigating the diocese. Wouldn’t it be a hindrance to you if their eyes turned to Mt. Pungji?”

“hmm.”

Silence flowed from the mother-in-law’s mouth.

Yumyeonggyo is receiving Paljuryeong through Sangbang or Bangpa.

Mansubang is one of them.

The reason why Mansubang was annihilated was that there was a problem with the Paljuryeong they sold.

The price of the Paljuryeong is about 1,000 nyang of hermits.

Because it was traded at such a high price, there were people playing pranks.

At some point, imitations began to mix one by one.

In that respect, Mansubang was unlucky.

They were annihilated by the Eight Emperors, the bodyguards of the religious leader, for selling counterfeit goods to the cult leader.

If the mother-in-law had been in another area, she might not have been persecuted.

“Did anyone know about the deal between Seonnyeoam and Mansubang?”

After thinking about something for a while, Ilhwang Naup answered.

“I know it doesn’t exist.”

For a moment, the new mother’s eyes lit up.

It’s not ‘no’, it’s ‘know that there isn’t’.

“Does it sound like someone might know?”

“I’m sorry. Since all of Mansubangdo are dead, there is no way to confirm.”

“i get it.”

“And the Baekdu Demons want to see the Master’s face.”

“Tell them to come to Mt. Fungji by the first day of June.”

“Johnny.”

The Emperor disappeared without a sound, just like when he appeared.

Shinmo looked out at the empty yard and lightly clicked her tongue.

“Tsk tsk! What is human greed?”

The only person who can recognize the real Paljuryeong in the famous school is himself.

In other churches, fakes are still being circulated.

It is astonishing to think of monks dying under imitations, but there is no way to stop it.

Now, after trying several times, if it doesn’t work, then you know it’s fake and destroy it.

The reason why the Eight Emperors annihilated Mansubang was because they knew the weight of death contained in the Eight Juryungs.

Suddenly, Shinmo pulled out a clear streamer from within her bosom.

Then, I untied the tied cloth and shook it lightly.

Tuk-tuk.

There was no clear sound.

A satisfied smile appeared on the mother-in-law’s face.

The lack of sound meant that the god of the clear stream was wandering around the underworld.

If you memorize the six mantras, you can forcefully summon them, but not yet.

I asked for 49 days, so I plan to call around then.

‘What’s a bigger secret than the underworld ruled by the demon king?’

As a monk, she was interested in the afterlife.

That is why he united with the King of Flames.

If he had a desire for power, he would have already run to the white horse and lead the Yumyeong Bridge.

***

Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

Chili Hachon.

Incarcerated prison guard.

around noon.

Hwayong reading heart Namgung-yeon visited the prison without a plan.

The security guard escorted her to the prison and ran to the riot police chief Burinake.

When Muyoungshintu Baekkyo saw Namgoongyeon, he straightened his posture with a tense face.

It is natural that Yeon Jeok-ha, a general patrol, is desperately obsessed with Namgung-yeon because it is not a secret.

Namgungyeon just stared at him through the bars.

When she looked at him without saying anything, Baek Gyo felt hot.

Her nickname is Hwa-Yong-Dok-Shim(花容讀心).

It is known as a mind reader, so it is like a thief has met its owner.

“Sojeo Namgung, why do you look at me like that?”

However, Namgoongyeon still did not open her mouth.

Even so, Baek Gyo was restless, like a person facing a desperate crisis.

“I really didn’t steal.”

“I didn’t steal it.”

“Really, I...”

Baek Kyo’s voice got smaller and smaller as if tired from the monologue.

Then Namgoongyeon said.

“It is true that you did not steal. But you’re hiding more than that.”

“...”

Baek Kyo looked at Namgung Yeon with startled eyes.

‘Is it really reading people’s minds?’

Dry saliva flowed down the throat of the tense Baekkyo.

However, Baekkyo is also a worn-out veteran.

“What do you mean by that? I don’t even know what Sojeo Namgung is saying. You were arrested on the false charge of stealing the royal treasure, but you are hiding something worse than that?”

Namgoongyeon said calmly.

“Four days ago, people did not know that there was a Tathagata libation in Muheosan. However, it became widely known when a drunken Muheosan person boasted of his legal skills. There were four days until the ceremony, so anyone who needed it had to steal it within four days.”

“....”

“Muyeongshintu Baekkyo. It’s only natural that you, who have bad manners, are interested in the Tathagata Shrine, right?”

“So-so-jeo, you said I didn’t steal, so why

would you say that...” Because even if it was Muyoungshintu, I didn’t have the confidence to go into Jema University’s dorm and steal it.”

“Yes, it is true that I watched Muheosan.”

Baek Gyo had an almost desperate face.

He was afraid of Namgoong-yeon.

I felt like I knew why people said ‘she was possessed by a ghost’.

“I was wondering why you bothered to meet Shim. But I can see it from the look on your face.”

“You think you know?”

Baek Kyo questioned me involuntarily.

No one in the world knows that.

Why?

Because it’s a secret I haven’t told anyone.

As rumor has it, unless there is a ghost attached to her, we will never know.

“You knew that you would soon be captured by the Chunjimaeng. It would be even weirder if they didn’t catch Muyoungshintu hanging around after the law was stolen, wouldn’t it?”

“Is that so?”

“You must have wanted to get help from Yeon Jeok-ha. But I couldn’t. Because there is a past that betrayed Obong Sanchae. The second choice was Shim senior. Did you think that even if your relationship with senior Shim was known, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to you in Cheonjimaeng?”

“ha! It’s really a nickname called Hwa-Yong-Doksim. Admit it. That’s why I met heartache. So please be kind enough to tell me that I am not the culprit.”

“By the way. You ate well while you were imprisoned. It is only natural that a person who has been falsely accused should lose his appetite.”

“Sorry, that’s because I’m so optimistic. Thieves are optimistic by nature.”

“You didn’t even ask Shim-senpai for help. That means there is another way out. That’s probably the secret you’re hiding, right?”

“...”

For a moment, Baek-gyo forgot to even breathe and looked at Namgung-yeon in a daze.

“Muyoung Shinto. If Sintu means good at stealing, Mooyoung means devout Shinbeop. If Muheosanin didn’t steal the dharma treasure all night, the culprit could be identified right away, right? For example, there is a man named Namrin in Jeongju who is famous for being a pickpocket. It is said that wherever there are a lot of people, there is always Namrin.”

When Namrin’s name came out, Baekkyo shook his head.

That woman is not human.

“You may have found the culprit while hanging around Muheosan. Maybe you even saw the criminal selling stolen goods to someone. Wouldn’t that be enough to say it’s a secret?”

“ha! Everything Sozer said is correct. I’m asking you, so please don’t mind my business. I appreciate your concern, but I’ll take care of it.”

Baek-gyo was very afraid of Namgung-yeon.

It gave me goosebumps to think that she knew him as if he were looking into the palm of his hand.
