Episode 208: There is an order to things (1)
“What is the reason why I have been looking for experts and challenging them?”
That was the first question.
The monster, sitting back, closed his eyes and slowly moved his mouth.
“It was to understand the level of this place. “How much power is needed to conquer it?”
I hoped it would be rain, but as expected, my expectations were not correct.
If their plans were to become a reality, it was usually not a serious problem.
There were many things I wanted to ask, but now there were only two questions left.
We need to get a little more information without running out of opportunities.
“You have such a dream. “It is not a place that will be destroyed by the likes of you.”
The monster kept his mouth shut as if he would only answer questions.
However, it did not mean that nothing was gained.
Yu Jin-san saw the corners of his mouth rise slightly. It was definitely a laugh.
It also meant that this place looked easy.
The situation seemed to be worse than expected.
“Second question. “What is your rank in Soreoeum Temple?”
The monster in front of me was such a great expert that he was given the nickname “blood assassin.”
Based on his location, we can estimate Cheonchuk’s power to some extent.
“I am one of the eight guardians. Above me is the Four Heavenly Kings, and above that...”
The monster hesitated to answer for a moment.
The figure also seemed to be afraid of something.
Jinsan Yu quickly urged him before he changed his mind.
“What’s on it?”
“In the highest place... there is Arhat.”
The person called Arhat seemed to be the leader of the Heavenly Chukwulim.
In any case, according to what the monster said, the number of absolute experts seemed to be enormous.
Even if the remaining seven defenders came in, it would be difficult to handle, so how strong is the Blood Roe Four Heavenly Kings? Moreover, there is even a person called Arhat.
Yu Jin-san, whose mind was complicated, sighed.
Then he brought up the last question he had prepared in advance.
“Third question. When is your invasion time?”
“I do not know either. “It is for Arahat alone to decide.”
It didn’t seem like he was lying.
Unfortunately, I have no choice but to change the question.
“You didn’t answer, so don’t ask me anything else. “How strong is the one called Arahat?”
“It is not something that can be measured. “Because he is someone who transcends human limitations.”
I can’t believe that the monster in front of me, who was so strong, would say something like this.
Jinsan Yu couldn’t shake off his feelings of reluctance. I had to make sure because we might end up fighting one day.
The questions were over, but I decided to think about him a little more.
“Well then, how strong is it? “We have an unwritten messenger.”
The monster had no reaction.
He seemed lost in thought for a moment.
Jinsan Yu calmly waited until he opened his mouth.
How much time has passed? At some point, he broke the silence and muttered softly.
“I understand that the Buddha’s Sacred Heart contains the secret to reaching Tathagata consciousness.”
“so?”
“If that’s true... and if we can solve the secret, we might have a little chance of winning.”
The monster was judging that even Yu Seol would have a hard time defeating him.
How strong of a being is there in the heavenly axis?
But it wasn’t that there was no hope at all.
‘It is the Tathagata consciousness...’
The theory had reached the Araya consciousness, the 8th consciousness of the Buddha’s Sacred Self.
This was the stage where I could use the subconscious power hidden deep inside me.
And Sima Hyeon, a sage from Sichuan Province who deciphered the secret, said that with a very small probability, one could attain the 9th consciousness, Tathagata consciousness.
However, this stage existed only as speculation and theory.
‘It may not be easy, but it will be a path that Seol must reach someday.’
I didn’t know when the invasion would begin, but until then, I planned to avoid any meeting between my granddaughter and Arhat at all costs.
“Can you please let me rest now?”
The monster, whose body was limp, looked very exhausted.
It may be because of the aftermath of the fight with his granddaughter.
Jinsan Yu didn’t really want to bother him any more. There won’t be anything more to be gained anyway.
He was just about to take a step back.
A familiar voice came from the passage.
“I brought grandpa soup.”
Yoo Seol, holding a pot with both hands, was slowly approaching.
Although she was injured by her granddaughter, it was not to the point of death.
Could it be that that happened after eating Jinsan ginseng? It couldn’t have been that way because he had eaten one root himself.
“Really. “I’m not like that.”
“I get it. “Let’s go down and check.”
Eugene San walked down toward the room of atonement.
Even though I had already been to this place several times, I couldn’t get used to it.
As I passed through the passage where I could feel the chill and arrived at my destination, I saw the appearance of a monster.
The image of him leaning against the collapsed stone statue matched the last time I saw him.
There was only an empty pot lying in front of him. Surprisingly, it was completely empty.
‘I can’t believe he ate all of this...’
Yu Jin-san took a close look at his various aspects.
Since he was at the point where he was invulnerable to all poisons, he couldn’t have been an addict. But there were no scars on the body.
A clear cause of death could not be found.
“Did you die because of the stew your grandfather made?”
When I looked back, Yuseol was stretching out her neck like a Zara.
When did you follow me without even hearing a word?
“Why do I die after eating nutritious food? “I don’t know what the method was, but it looks like he committed suicide.”
“He died by himself? why?”
“I don’t even know how much it costs. “I need to bury it in the mountain, so get a shovel from the warehouse.”
Joson buried the monster in a nearby hill.
While I was out, I went for a walk, bought groceries at the market, and was heading back.
“What do you want to eat for dinner Seol?”
The granddaughter’s mood improved greatly after a long-awaited outing together.
When I looked at his face, the smile never left.
“Hmm~ Grandpa, do you know how to make Dongpo Pork?”
“then! “That’s my specialty.”
Yoo Seol smiled and crossed his arms around his grandfather.
A residence was coming into view in the distance.
As the atmosphere warmed up, Jinsan Yu cleared his throat and spoke cautiously.
“baby. “But I have a favor to ask.”
I had one request. I am asking you to help me with my training, at least for a while.
Didn’t she spend the whole day catering to her granddaughter’s mood just for this moment?
I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Starting tomorrow, together with Jaebi...”
Jin-san Yu, who continued speaking, widened his eyes.
This is because they saw a group of people hanging out in front of their house.
They were never welcome guests.
“Did your grandfather invite you?”
“Is that possible? How dare they say where this is?”
Brilliant golden armor. Surprisingly, they were the big men leading the Geumgun army.
To be exact, it was the Great Lord Changryong and his five closest associates.
They also discovered that they had come and slowly approached this direction.
“Don’t misunderstand. “We didn’t come to fight.”
It was a small voice, but it could be heard clearly even from a distance.
It was a method that was only possible with great skill.
“How did you know about my house?”
Jinsan Yu had an unpleasant expression on his face.
Although they are currently on a temporary truce, these guys will have to show their true worth someday.
There was no way I was happy.
“Please do not ignore Changryong University’s information network. “Because I figured it out a long time ago.”
“Does the Murim Alliance know about it?”
“I don’t know that. “Lately we have been moving independently.”
It seemed like he was keeping his promise not to get involved in Moorim’s affairs.
In any case, if Changnyongdae knew the location of this place, there was a high probability that the Murim Alliance also knew about it.
My head hurt when I thought about the tiring things that would happen in the future.
“Are you saying that Changnyongdae is no longer under the control of the Murim Lord?”
Huang Xiaotian nodded once.
“That’s what happened, but I can’t tell you the details.”
It seemed like something had happened inside.
There was no way to know right now.
“by the way. “What’s going on here? The dignitaries who are supposed to protect the country are so idle.”
Despite Yu Jin-san’s provocation, Hwang So-cheon was as undisturbed as a tree.
He silently continued what he had to say.
“Our Changryongdae was tracking down the blood messenger.”
