Episode 362. Hocheon Meng (昊天盟), wide and big sky,
Manhwangju suddenly tilted his head as Yeon Jeokha laughed alone like a madman.
“Why are you laughing, little brother?”
“Hey. I’m really curious, can you answer me?”
“Tell me.”
“Why do you two cling to me like dung flies? Is it because I am the most comfortable among the practitioners? Or do you think there’s still something to eat? Which one?”
“What a disgusting sound. Things like that because we can’t pretend we don’t know when we know each other’s faces.”
“joy! It was pitiful to be alone, so I hung out with him, and he started talking all kinds of things. What am I saying? Who is calling me a dung fly? what? Do you still have anything to eat? Hi Go! the sound of a dog laughing Let’s go brother.”
Cheon Sang-dong pulled the Manhwangju with a displeased face.
When Manhwangju pretended to be invincible and was dragged away, the area around Yeonjeokha finally became quiet.
“Anyway, they are strange people.”
Shaking his head, he opened the Jade Emperor Sutra and began to read it.
***
Chongyang Festival (重陽節, September 9 of the lunar calendar).
Now, frost has fallen at night, and Wudang Mountain has turned red.
Although autumn had begun in earnest, the work of practitioners was not much different from summer.
When they woke up at dawn, they recited recitatives, listened to sermons in the morning, and studied what they wanted in the afternoon.
After living in Wudang Mountain for two months, Yeonjeokha has developed quite a cultivator status.
After breakfast as usual, I slowly wandered around the Oryong Palace.
It’s a habit that came about because I didn’t have anyone close to me.
As I walked while recalling the techniques I learned from Cheongbulno in my head, it was lecture time before I knew it.
He turned to the Oryong Palace.
But today, the front yard of Oryong Palace was noisy. The trainees forgot to enter the sermon with excited faces and gathered in groups of twos and threes.
The person with the slowest information in the palsangak is a mate.
Everyone stays away from him, so he barely hears it until the rumor spreads to everyone.
He listened attentively to people’s voices.
“If the famous school splits into two groups, isn’t the ‘three-year commitment’ over?”
“Even if we are divided into two groups, won’t we unite when something happens?”
“Huh. They said it was the eleven red flowers. Does the famous school end like this?”
“Aren’t you the Hongbok of Moorim at the end?”
“It could be the other way around, but it seems to only see the good side. Imagine that there are two people like famous religious leaders. Is there anyone who can handle that?”
At someone’s objection, the practitioners became quiet for a moment.
It was already widely known that the famous cult leader was King Chundu.
Everyone seemed terrified to think that such a Chundu Demon King could become two.
As the lecture time approached, the managers of Palseongak went around and let the trainees enter.
I tried to squeeze as much as I could to sit in the back row of the row, then entered late.
Even when the sermon began, the light chatter did not stop.
Ban Sang-wol, a member of Ohryongchilsa, who came out as an instructor, smiled bitterly at the unusual atmosphere.
“The Nanhua Jinjing (Zhuang-tzu) said, ‘A person with a calm and stable mind emits natural light [宇泰定者 發乎天光]’. We must become people like the light that illuminates a dark world. Especially sorcerers. If the mind is not calm and stable, the magic cannot be performed properly. It is other than saying that it is possible to exorcise a ghost if you do not lose your composure in front of a demon as well as a demon. Light enough to keep the evil beings from opening their eyes! Remember that the power to overturn a precarious situation comes from your peace of mind.”
The sermon naturally went over to normal mind and always mind.
The stormy sermon is over.
It is time for Ban Sang-wol to catch his breath and drink tea.
One of the practitioners raised a hand.
“Tell me.”
Southern directness.
outskirts of Nanjing.
Old Justice League General.
A group of Murim people gathered at Chunguigak.
Chilpamun’s Jangmun people and Gongsonilrang, Gongsonki, who represent Jeongdo.
Merchant Mugeuk, a long-time scholar of the volcano faction and leader of the Heavenly League, bowed respectfully to the audience.
“Thank you to the long-time writers who responded to Bindo’s invitation. I invited several seniors with a sense of responsibility that I was the leader of the Justice League and the leader of the Heavenly League. As you know, the renowned cult leader said that he would not impose sanctions on the gathering of the Chilpa family, so today’s meeting will not break the ‘three-year commitment’.”
The Mugeuk Merchant stopped talking.
The Chilpamun, which is the pillar of Murim, was afraid of famous religions, so it was complicated to mention ‘Three Years’.
“I won’t mention it again, as you know that famous churches were divided into two. In order to cope with the rapidly changing reality, we would like to propose a meeting of sect warriors. What do you think of the opinions of many great writers?”
The long masters of the Yuk-Pil Gate nodded their heads with a face of course.
If I hadn’t felt the need for organization, I wouldn’t have attended this meeting in the first place.
Still, the Merchant Mugeuk asked again.
“If there is anyone who opposes the gathering of political factions, please speak up.”
Pyeonun, a long-time leader of the joint faction, said boldly.
“Anyone who would oppose the long sentence would have come here? We gathered here because we felt the need for organization. Let’s not waste time and get to the point. I don’t know the name of the new Maeng to be created yet, but I recommend Mugeuk Merchant as the Maenglord. What about the others?”
“The idea of frequency is the same. Merchant Mugeuk led not only the Justice League, but also the Cheonji League. I see him as the leader of a new organization.”
At the words of Yeonggyeol Merchant, a non-partisan leader, Mujong Merchant, a forward-wing leader, also expressed support.
“Bindo also agrees with the words of the two writers. What about the others?”
At his question, the head of the Shaolin Temple and the Qingsheng School, the Qingcheng School, and the Uicheon Gate nodded.
There was no reason to oppose the martial arts of the martial arts merchants, as they were the most outstanding and active.
Don’t you know if you made a big mistake in the Justice League and the Heaven and Earth League?
Other than that, it was difficult to find a better person than the Mugeuk Merchant in Chilpamun.
A bitter smile appeared on the Merchant’s face.
When I asked to create a meeting, even the leader was elected in one fell swoop.
It would have been impossible if it were not for the unity of the Chilpa family who have been together for a long time.
The Mugeuk Merchant did not hesitate and settled with the long masters of the Yukpamun.
“Several seniors believe in juniors and entrust them with heavy duties, so I will work hard. Thank you very much. I hope to come up with a name for a new meeting in this spot. Please tell me what you think.”
At the mention of a name, the masters of the Yukpamun were silent for a moment.
It may not sound like much, but choosing a name for the organization was not an easy task.
At that time, Seonin Geumhwa, the judge of life and death, a long-time clerk of the fortune-teller group, lightly threw a word.
“It was made after the Cheonji-maeng, so how about the Ho-cheon-maeng (昊天盟)? I think it fits well with the character of the Jeongdo school.”
In the past, there was a lot of talk about the meaning of ‘Cheonjimaeng’.
Among them, the one that received the widest support was the voice saying, “Heaven is political and Earth is Sapa.”
In that sense, ‘Hocheonmaeng’ was a name that suited it quite well.
“It is a wide and big sky. That’s fine.”
“I like it.”
“It sounds like a name that fits our current situation.”
“I hope it lives up to its name.”
The people of the Yukpamun family showed a favorable impression of the name Hocheonmaeng.
Even after time passed, no name that surpassed ‘Hocheonmaeng’ came out.
The members of the Chilpil clan unanimously decided to name the new alliance ‘Hocheon Meng’.
Subsequently, Gongson Ilang and Gong Son Ki were appointed as the musketeers of the ‘Hocheon Mang’.
Now, following the ‘Justice League’ and the ‘Chunji League’, the era of the ‘Hocheon League’ has opened.
