Episode 119: The Beginning of a Legend (1)
Emei Mountain is the highest and largest famous mountain in Sichuan Province, and there are dozens of large and small temples.
The summit, Geumjeongbong Peak, was occupied by the Ami faction, which consisted only of nuns, and the other places were temples that had nothing to do with the martial arts group.
One of them was Golden Pavilion Temple.
midnight. About 300 children came to this temple, which was usually deserted.
The monks here were so embarrassed that they put their heads together, not knowing what to do.
“Amitabha Buddha. What on earth is going on? “Where are there so many kids at night....”
“I’m asking you to hide me because I’m being chased.”
“I don’t know what the story is, but they are Moorim children. “If we hide it carelessly, our temple could suffer great harm.”
“So you’re saying we should just pretend not to notice?”
“The governor is coming, so let’s ask.”
While the monks were discussing, an old monk holding prayer beads approached.
As if he had already figured out the situation, he spoke first without being embarrassed.
“Are you afraid that you might die while helping the children?”
“That’s not it...”
“Tell me what value there is to the life you gain by throwing away those pitiful things.”
The monks lowered their heads as if they were embarrassed.
“...Our thoughts were short-lived.”
The head priest spoke again with an expression full of kindness.
“If it is the Buddha’s will to die while doing good, then I should happily go down that path. But I don’t think that will happen.”
Unlike Amipa, who focused solely on martial arts, they were Zen monks who had nothing to do with the world of martial arts.
The other monks also stopped complaining.
“But where can we hide those children?”
“Isn’t there a main hall?”
Daeungjeon was the largest shrine in the temple that housed the main Buddha statue and was a sacred place.
It would be possible to get in if you squeeze it in, but there was no way there would be a place to hide.
“If you are searched, won’t you be found out right away?”
“We just have to do all we can. “Let’s see what the Buddha’s will is.”
There was no need to hesitate any longer since the decision had already been made.
The monks who placed their hands together with the head priest began to lead the children.
“Hurry and get in there.”
“Hurry up. hurry!”
The children expressed their gratitude and began to hide in the main hall.
“Thank you so much, monk.”
“thank you.”
What guarantee is there that you will be safe if you hide here?
Jinsan Yu looked around and spoke urgently to the monk.
“Please turn off all lights in the temple. Come on!”
“That’s right. i get it.”
If the fire in the temple was kept burning at night in the dark mountains, it would naturally be suspected.
When all the lights were turned off, the entire temple was engulfed in darkness and became quiet.
For now, it was a situation where I could take a breather, but I couldn’t feel at ease.
The children who were hiding tightly were just glaring with their eyes closed.
Everyone had a lot to say, but no one made a rash move, perhaps because they had received high-intensity training.
In the darkness, Eugene San alone contemplated his next move.
‘I can’t hide here forever. We must move just before dawn.’
All entrances to Emei Mountain should have been blocked by now. The plan was to break through at the moment when the siege was most relaxed.
But is it as easy as you think? The Dohye incident was the biggest problem, and perhaps even the director came back.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way without sacrifice.
‘First, I guess I should ask if there are any other mountain paths.’
He knew very well that this too was futile. If there are other mountain paths, there is no way Amipa would not know about them.
Still, I had to try anything, feeling like I was grasping at straws.
Yu Jin-san, who was about to leave the main hall, suddenly stopped walking and became stiff. Because there was light beyond the window.
Looking at the fluttering movement, it must be a torch.
It wasn’t just one or two. Soon it was increasing to dozens. The children noticed this and tried to keep their presence as low as possible and eavesdropped on the conversation outside.
“What are the nuns at Geumjeongbong doing at this hour?”
“Why did you expose our location?”
It was natural for the children to be embarrassed. His actions were no different from asking us to come and kill him since we are hiding here.
However, not the slightest anxiety could be found on Yu Jin-san’s face.
He suddenly looked solemn as he backed away.
“You guys have worked hard so far. “You don’t have to worry anymore, so get ready to go down with Grandpa.”
What kind of crazy thing is this out of nowhere?
Everyone became restless due to the sudden change in the atmosphere and attitude of Il37.
just as expected.
“Yes, you guys!!”
A group of people began to appear at the entrance of the Golden Pavilion.
Do Hye-sae, who was clutching her back with her left hand, and the director, who was absent, were shoulder to shoulder.
Behind the two, instructors and old Amipa elders could be seen.
The children, overwhelmed by the force, were so frightened that they could not move. Except for Jinsan Yu....
“This can’t be right....”
“Director So also came with us.”
These were just the beginning. Even at this moment, the nuns who were searching nearby were joining in one after another.
Dohye Sae-tae took the lead in reaching out to children in despair.
She frowned and was glaring at only one child.
“Why don’t you come here? “Know that you will not die gracefully today.”
Jinsan Yu was still with his back turned and a confident expression on his face. His attitude, which did not fit the situation, was extremely awkward.
“How can I tell an adult to come to a fallen nun? “I guess I’ll come to my senses only if I get hit hard today.”
“This is going to be so crazy. Let’s see if you can still talk like that in a little while.”
Do-hye Sae-sae strode forward, twisting his sword.
As she moved a few steps, she suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
It seemed like he was going to flinch due to his own strength, but he was still keeping his back straight? Besides, aren’t you selling it all at once?
At that time, an unseasonable cold wind suddenly blew into the grounds of Golden Pavilion Temple.
Hwii-!
It couldn’t have been a strange phenomenon on a quiet day with no wind.
– Why are you hesitating? They say you have to take care of it yourself at least three or seven times.
The director sent a message from behind to his lover, Do Hye-sae, urging her to do so.
But she stopped walking and couldn’t move. This is because a chilling chill was constricting my entire body.
“...?”
Everyone was bewildered and only looked at the Dohye incident. It’s bound to look strange to see him hesitating in an awkward posture.
At that time, a child’s refreshing voice came from somewhere and vibrated everyone’s ears.
“Is it him?”
It was definitely a rumored voice.
Although it was a soft word, it was a voice with an inexplicable grandeur, as if it came from right next to me.
Unbelievably, the epicenter of the sound was under a cliff about thirty miles away from here.
There, Yoo Seol was trudging alone, holding his window diagonally. His eyebrows were pulled together in the middle, making him look very angry.
I couldn’t help but find it strange that with every step I took, the three sheets got closer and closer.
While everyone was mesmerized by the sight, Jin-san Yu’s eyes were filled with tears.
It was clearly the granddaughter he remembered. The only thing that has changed is that the hair now falls down to the waist and is flowing.
“Yes, that’s right. “How much that evil thing has tormented my grandfather all this time...”
“And who else?”
When I saw my granddaughter for the first time in a long time, the sadness I had experienced here came flooding back to me.
Eugene San’s eyes became moist as if rainwater had entered them.
He immediately raised his index finger and pointed out the instructors one by one, starting with the director.
“Do you see this guy and the gangsters standing behind him? “And the four nuns over there with their heads raised and their eyes raised were also harassing me.”
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Seol had already gotten closer. It was truly a ghost-like walking technique.
Before we knew it, more than a hundred people had come into this place, but everyone had become mute, weighed down by an unknown sense of intimidation.
Phew-!!
It was the sound of Yonghwachang sinking deep into the ground.
That would mean that he would strike down those whom his grandfather had singled out with his bare hands.
Even though there were two masters of fire fighting, he put down his weapon. It was truly the spirit of a martial god.
At that time, Yu Seol’s gaze was fixed on Do Hye-sae, who was clutching her back with her left hand.
“Hunchback, come here first.”
