Episode 436: Gale Cheonyuhoe (1)
Yujinsan was deep in thought with his arms crossed.
Are you saying that we have to stop the invasion of Heaven with only the power of Wulin? On the one hand, it was shameful that the military failed to prepare thoroughly, but it was something that could not be criticized.
The enemy was just too strong, and they would have done their best.
‘Hwang So-cheon is not a person who only cares for the greater good and is not concerned about personal matters. There must be a good reason for saying this. But...’
It was impossible to give him everything he wanted.
If you do that, you will have to take enormous damage whether you win or lose the battle.
No matter how bad the environment is, we must take care of practical benefits.
After much thought, he broke the silence and opened his mouth.
“Instead, there are two conditions.”
Hwang So-cheon responded positively to Yu Jin-san’s suggestion.
“Tell me. “I will cooperate in whatever way I can.”
After finishing speaking, he and Eun Hwa-rin, the general secretary of Cheonyuhoe, paid attention to Yujinsan’s mouth.
“first. From now on, we will no longer dispatch Tianyouhoe’s masters to protect the emperor.”
“In any case?”
Jinsan Yu nodded without hesitation.
“Under the current circumstances, is it really necessary for the emperor to be in a luxurious palace?”
“What does that mean?”
“Instead of staying in a place exposed to danger, there is a way to hide in a hiding place for everyone’s sake. Even if it’s a little uncomfortable, it’s for the greater good.”
It was just a nice way of saying it, and the idea was to keep the emperor locked up in a secret place.
In that case, there would be no need for martial arts and government military experts to waste their power to protect him.
Yu Jin-san judged that Hwang So-cheon had such power.
And his guess was not wrong.
“Okay. “I will take responsibility and push for that to happen.”
Now one worry is gone.
But this alone was not enough.
“second. “I know that the Jin army was recently wiped out in Dunhuang, but it is not right for the military, which is supposed to protect the country, to entrust all responsibility to Wulin.”
“It doesn’t mean that we’re going to step out altogether. We will not spare any support in any way. “Is there a plan you would like?”
Jinsan Yu slowly turned the teacup on the table with his hand.
“Please form a small, elite unit to prepare for any emergency. “If the situation turns unfavorable, we can provide immediate support.”
“I was thinking about that too. “I will organize a special force of officials with the highest martial arts skills in the country and keep it on standby.”
Among them, most of the surviving Changryong members would be included.
Even if a 100,000-strong army came, these mediocre soldiers would only increase their sacrifices and were currently the most reliable means of support.
“As the enemy is advancing quickly, you will need to prepare quickly.”
“It will be so. “I will continue to send messengers to inform you of the situation.”
Having achieved his goal, Huang Xiaotian stood up without hesitation.
Then Eunhwarin asked him subtly.
“Are you leaving already? If you don’t mind, how about having a meal together? “The food at our Cheonyuhoe is pretty good.”
“Thank you, but I have a lot of work to do now. “Once everything is resolved, I will come and repay you.”
As if he couldn’t waste a moment, he immediately turned his back and leisurely disappeared.
It seemed like he was in a hurry when I saw him leave in a hurry with his eyes wide open.
Jinsan Yu looked at his back and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. “That friend is going through a lot too.”
“yes. But I don’t think it’s time for us to worry about others, Elder.”
Jinsan Yu laughed at her joke and emptied the teacup in one go.
Then he looked up at the sky and sighed.
“Whether it is the government military or the martial arts, how can the desire to protect the country be different? “Anyway, this is not the time for us, so please summon all the executives.”
“I will do so, Elder.”

The sound of Buddhist scriptures has been echoing in the Dharma Hall of Shaolin Temple for over two months.
The full Buddhist energy leaking out was so majestic that even ordinary people could feel it.
Outside the cave, a group of monks sat together and pounded on a wooden table.
Everyone prays with one heart and one mind that the mercy and light of Buddha will fall on Lord Cheonyuhoe.
“The more you look at it, the more magnificent it becomes, Sasuk. “I would believe it if I told you that there is a Buddha in that Dharma cave right now.”
Master Hyegwang nodded and answered the priest’s words.
“There is no meat. “Where is my meat?”
“As you well know, this is a temple...”
Regardless, Yu Seol’s grumpiness had already reached the top of his head.
Finally, he lay down on the floor and started waving his arms and legs.
“I can’t practice. I will not!”
It was a rumor that since he was a baby, he would not eat without meat.
Once I finish eating this time, there will be no guarantee when I will be able to eat again. Therefore, I had absolutely no intention of giving in.
When the situation reached this point, the monks who were watching from afar began to panic.
“What should I do, Sasuk? “The monsters are making a fuss about giving us meat.”
“Have you prepared anything in case something like this happens?”
“It can’t be possible, Sasuk.”
“Monk Bangjang said that the fate of the world lies in the hands of Eumgae. “We have to convince them to resume training somehow.”
“But how...” After
thinking for a moment, Ambassador Hyegwang suddenly remembered something.
“That’s right! “Aren’t there some wild animals that that divine beast caught?”
Every few days, Darong went deep into the mountains to catch and eat animals.
But he never came empty-handed.
They would bring fresh animals, such as wild boars and deer, and place them at the entrance to Dharma-dong.
Of course, the monks took notice of Darong and cleaned it all up.
“There is a wild boar that was taken away to be buried in the mountain...”
“That’s good. “Bring it to me right away.”
“Ha, but Sasuk. “No matter how much you like meat, you won’t eat it raw, right?”
Hye-gwang was at a loss as to how to comfort the evil monster.
This is because I have never encountered a situation like this before.
“Oh, that’s right. I should even cook it for you. “Go ahead and feed him that way.”
“Who says what?”
It was a situation completely unfamiliar to the monks.
Who has experience cooking meat? This was unthinkable in a temple where meat-eating is prohibited.
And it was impossible to ask monks to do such things.
“Should I go down to the village and ask for alms?”
“It’s too late. And who would offer meat to monks?”
It was a time when everyone was confused.
Suddenly, a familiar old man’s voice came from behind me.
“Hmm! “Don’t worry, just bring the meat to me.”
Venerable Jeonghye, the head monk, had approached me without any mouse or bird noticing.
Hye-gwang asked, slightly surprised.
“When did you come back, Master?”
“Before the big battle, I took some time to run. “I guess I can afford two visits.”
Shaolin Temple was not that far away from Shaocheonseong.
He came running a month before the battle with Cheonchuk.
“It looks like the time has come.”
“It was faster than expected, but it was an unavoidable fight anyway. “Assemble the Four Great Vajra and the eighteen Arhats immediately.”
“Are you planning on taking all of Shaolin’s elite with you?”
“What can’t be done? “The country is in crisis, and we, Shaolin, must be the first to take the lead.”
“Then please take the Hinayana with you.”
Jeonghye shook her head horizontally.
“If we all die, what will happen to the disciples who remain here? “You must remain here.”
The three strongest people in Shaolin Temple were Master Jeong Hye and Master Wongang, followed by Hye Gwang.
Considering the worst case scenario, the intention was to leave at least Hye-gwang here.
“Well sir. “Is there anything else you would like to tell me?”
“Didn’t I tell you to spare no effort in supporting the training of Cheonyuhoeju? “I’ll be waiting for you in the kitchen, so bring the meat first.”
Hyekwang asked, tilting his head.
“Are you really saying that you would cook the meat yourself to feed to the monster? How could that be...”
“Is now the time to take risks? “I don’t feel like it, but I have to sacrifice my country too.”
“iced coffee. “The disciple doubted Master’s noble spirit of sacrifice even for a moment. I will prepare quickly.”
