Chapter 118
Seung Do-heung looked around with a slightly dazed expression. Byeok Tae-san, who disappeared leaving only the words to think about it, did not appear again.
Instead, other people rushed in and took Seung Do-heung and his comrades out of the prison. After that, he moved from Dangyang to Uichang without a break and arrived at Heukcheolbang like this.
As he entered the black iron room, Seung Do-heung was surprised. This was because the jinbeop he had set up was still running. He reflexively confirmed his comrades. All of him struggled with the pressure on his body. The only good person here was Seung Do-heung.
Seung Do-hung was brought here, and his companions were taken elsewhere. They probably all scattered separately. It was a small room. There was a table and two chairs. Seung Do-heung sat down in one of them.
After waiting for a while, the door opened and someone came in. He looked quite old. “Are you a traitor?”
When he said that, Seung Do-heung’s eyes lit up with anger.
“A traitor, who is a traitor!” Seung Do-heung was furious and shut his mouth again. In addition to this, he asked cautiously. “Are you from school?”
“What… Well?” Seung Do-heung’s expression contorted.
However, he had no choice but to open his eyes wide at the next words. “Have you ever heard of Cheon Chushinui?”
“Then… Are you saying that the old man is a god of heaven?” Cheon Chushinui chuckled.
“Okay. How is it? Do you have some respect now?” Seung Do-heung had a shaky expression on his face. It was somehow different from what I had heard.
“Greatly… I heard he was serious…”
Cheon Chushinui nodded loudly. “Right. I know you well. There aren’t many things that fit me as much as the word Jinjung.”
Seung Do-hung had a few things to say, but he persevered. Here he was, still weak. “By the way, what are you doing, why did you do such a crazy thing?”
At this, Seung Do-heung’s expression hardened. That’s crazy. How could you say such a thing? “Our Cheonma Shintoism must change.”
“So how?”
“Unfair discrimination is so prevalent.”
“Unfair discrimination?”
Cheon Chushinui’s lips twisted. “Yes. In particular, the contempt given to us by the Jinbeopians is too severe.”
“What… It is true that samurai are treated a little more.”
“It’s not just that. Do you know how many people are discriminated against among the non-heavenly churches?”
“Okay? Isn’t that just the beginning again?”
“Sure. Because my job at the Transcendental Society was to find and persuade non-heavenly members who were treated so unfairly.”
Hearing those words, Cheon Chushinui’s lips moved upward. “Okay? It must not have been easy to find the non-heavenly members scattered throughout the world, but you did it well, didn’t you? I think the reunion party is great, isn’t it?”
“Yes. You can do a lot of different things by using the power of Jinbeop. The problem is that idiots who only know their powers don’t know that.”
“You’re an idiot who only knows your strength… Isn’t that what you’re talking about, our headmaster?” Seung Do-heung was startled and clapped his hands fiercely.
“Hey, can it be! We just wanted to give the Most High an opportunity to learn about the usefulness of Jinbeop. I was sure that the most enlightened supreme will surely see through our intentions.”
Cheon Chushinui smirked and waved his hand. “Okay, okay. Why are you so hot?”
Seung Do-heung closed his mouth with a shy expression and secretly avoided Cheon Chu-shin’s gaze. “By the way, do you still have information about the Temple of Heaven?” Seung Do-heung looked at Chun Chu-shin with a bewildered expression. Chun Chu Xin Yi smiled and held out his hand.
“I was just looking for that information so desperately? So give it a try I want to serve our Confucius, so my bones are dying.”
“Well, it can’t be.”
“Well, there is nothing that can’t be done. Oh right. So, are all of your co-workers going to the truth?”
“No. There are also non-heavenly members who have been recruited.” Cheon Chushinui looked at Seung Do-heung with absurd eyes.
“Are there people who have gone over there?”
“They know the cause.”
“You sound like you. Still, it doesn’t seem like he’s thinking of raising Hwanma to the supreme, so I think this is a little better…”
In Cheon Chushinui’s eyes, this was clearly a lust for power. Although the treatment of Jinbeopga was a little lower, he wasn’t as bad as initially thought. There were also some aspects that were self-sufficient.
Seung Do-heung asked Shinui Cheon with an anxious expression. “I… What am I going to do now?”
Cheon Chushinui replied calmly. “If you blow everything you know, will you work for Confucius? Well, he’s an unbelievable guy, so I’ll bet it’s forbidden. If you are caught cheating, then you can just look at your hand. By the way, if you put it in the hands of Confucius, you will poop while you sleep. I have seen it myself, so you can believe it.”
Seung Do-heung stared blankly at Cheon Chushinui. Spilling poop while sleeping/// How the hell did you get to that point?
At this, his face turned pale. Suddenly, the strength of the sphincter was tightened. “What is the true identity of Confucius, the great, the alternate, the alternate?”
Cheon Chushinui paused for a moment with a very perplexed expression on his face.
“This is not something I know for sure yet… First of all, I think of him as the child the teacher hid.”
“Yeah?”
Seung Do-heung’s eyes widened in astonishment. He almost had his eyes ripped apart. Cheon Chushinui chuckled and tapped Seung Do-heung on the shoulder.
“How do you feel that you are holding the string properly? So good job Don’t get tired of fooling yourself. All I know is to be honest. And if Confucius dies on his face flat, he is loyal enough to stab his heart. Then, won’t a good day come? I think so, how about you?”
After a long time, Chushinui had spoken a lot, and his congestion seemed to be going down. Looking at Seung Do-heung with a happy face, his soul was already half gone.
He left behind Seung Do-heung and got up from his seat. “Ah, now that I’m feeling better, shall I go see my brother?”
* * *
Byeok Tae-san was listening to Ok Hwa’s report in his room. He said, “I have asked for Hao Moon’s cooperation. We will begin monitoring the location we identified immediately.”
Using the information extracted from the Hwancheonhoe gnomes that had been caught this time, they made a directory of the non-heavenly temple and the remaining Hwancheonhoe that had not yet been grasped.
“You seem to have listened well.” Ok Hwa responded with admiring eyes to Byeok Tae-san’s words.
“It was amazingly cooperative.” It made him wonder what the hell Byeok Tae-san did to them.
“However, it was a bit disappointing because the information they had was limited. Most of the information was limited to the Hubei region.”
“Okay?”
“Yes. When I asked about information on other regions, it was found that the Hwancheonhoe itself was operating separately for each region. The person in charge of it was one Hwanma.”
Byeok Tae-san’s lips rose slightly. “You did a very good job.”
It seemed that he was trying to build his own power outside because he couldn’t do anything within the Cheonma Shinkyo. It was clear that Hwanma obtained information about the non-heavenly temple within the Cheonma Shingyo and leaked it to the Hwancheonhoe.
Perhaps the Wolyeong Danju was also one gang. It was not a rebellion against the Heavenly Demon, but rather to strengthen their position in the Church of Heavenly Demon, so it was not strange if someone intervened. No, perhaps it was a lot messier than you think.
Still, he wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore. He was stuck in Hyeoncheonjin, what should he do?
“What… The bastards who tried to do dirty things are gone, so do you want to do better?”
At this, Byeok Tae-san’s lips rose slightly. Whatever the process, it was not him who created such a situation.
“Should have killed more?”
Ok Hwa was startled by Byeok Tae-san’s self-talk. In addition to this, he looked at Byeok Tae-san with a nervous expression.
“I’m not talking to you, so don’t be nervous.” After saying that, Byeok Tae-san looked at Ok Hwa silently. Who wouldn’t be nervous right away when they said not to be nervous?
Ok Hwa was still nervous, but when Byeok Tae-san stared at him, he was even more nervous.
“It looks like you worked hard.”
It was then that Ok Hwa realized that Byeok Tae-san had confirmed his achievement in martial arts.
“I just did what Confucius instructed.”
Indeed it was. Recently, he continued high-intensity training using the Heukcheolbang Jinbeop, and his skills improved steadily. Of course, it was so hard that he couldn’t even put it into words.
“I have to apply one by one. I need to increase the number of heads a little more.”
“All right.”
Byeok Tae-san decided to clean up the ignorant people first, and then to think about the Cheonma Protestant Church. Anyway, because of Hyeon Chun-jin, it didn’t matter if one didn’t care for the time being.
“Did you check what you stole from a guy named Go Jun-kwang?”
“Yes. Most of it was a summary of their past activities and based on that, we identified several sub-organizations on the present side of Wuhan and Uichang.”
“Things like incense sticks?” “It’s a little different from Hyanghwaru.”
Go Jun-gwang and Seo-do-gun established their own sub-organizations. Those sub-organizations were controlled solely by them.
“Anyway, they are only driven by commands made in a secret language. So I think we can use them.”
Byeok Tae-san nodded his head lightly. “What… like that.”
“I will clean up the Hyanghwaru now. In addition, we identified several organizations with similar roles to Hyanghwaru. We will arrange them in turn.”
“Tell me ahead of time if you think it will be difficult.”
“We have already investigated. We can solve it on our own line.”
If the mayor Nangin led by Yuk Tae-gu and the black sword led by Gak-woo Jang were mobilized, any small organization could receive almost no damage.
“I… And while investigating the circumstances in which Seung Do-heung was brought in by Go Jun-kwang, I discovered something strange.”
Saying it was a strange part, Byeok Tae-san looked at Ok Hwa.
“I just found Seung Do-heung after receiving orders from Go Jun-gwang. However, the instructions for Seung Do-heung are too detailed.”
“Are the instructions detailed?”
“Yes. Starting with the fact that Seung Do-heung’s ability is greater than was actually known, the instructions specifically included where he is now, what his future schedule would be, and other things necessary to attract Seung Do-heung.”
Byeok Tae-san patted his chin at those words and pondered for a moment. And he looked at Ok Hwa.
Anyway, Ok Hwa learned Wolyeong magic. He learned it even though he knew it was a magician, so he knew that Cheonma Shinkyo and Byeok Tae-san were related in some way.
It was. Of course, he didn’t know exactly what kind of relationship it is.
Perhaps that was why he had included this report now. “So, what do you think there was a traitor within the Cheonma Shintoism, is this?”
“It’s just a guess.” Byeok Tae-san nodded.
It was speculation, but it’s highly probable. But now, anyway, Cheonma Protestantism was isolated. So, passing the information must have happened before Hyeoncheonjin was triggered.
‘That’s… It is said that there may be more people caught like Seung Do-heung…’
It bothered me a bit that the power of the Hwancheonhoe itself was concentrated outside rather than inside the Church of Heaven. He thought things would get a little more complicated.
* * *
Seung Do-heung wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and sat down on the spot. There was still plenty of time before the sun went down. He seemed to be able to finish it all in time with a little rest.
As he sat down and looked around, he could see that other jinbeop masters were working hard to dismantle the jin. Of the people caught by Byeok Tae-san this time, eight were Jinbeopga.
Of course, the number included Seung Do-heung. They were in the process of dismantling the Jinbeop installed in the Heukcheolbang and collecting the ingredients in it.
Heukcheolbang’s Jinbeop contained a lot of precious ingredients, and some of them took a long time to obtain even if they had money.
Byeok Tae-san then instructed Seung Do-heung to dismantle the jinbeop installed in the Heukcheolbang and install a similar jinbeop elsewhere. They carried out the instructions without babbling.
In the hearts of the people of the Hwancheonhoe, including Seung Do-heung, there was a thick layer of fear. It was because of Go Jun-kwang. No, it was because of Go Jun-kwang’s scream.
Just when they were near Go Jun-gwang, Byeok Tae-san visited Go Jun-gwang. In addition to this, he had to listen to a desperate scream that spanned as many as one sijin. It sounded like he was pouring out his soul by screaming, not just screaming.
Hearing that scream, I was really scared. A primal fear engulfed his heart. In addition to this, he was shaking his body without realizing it. Since then, he had bowed his head just looking at Byeok Tae-san.
The fear that he might look like Go Jun-kwang if he made eye contact and looked at the wrong thing weighed on his heart. Seung Do-heung, who was sitting and resting, saw Byeok Tae-san passing by in the distance.
Seung Do-heung jumped up from his seat in surprise. In addition to this, and he quickly resumed his work. Byeok Tae-san stopped walking and looked at Seungdoheung.
Seung Do-heung felt the gaze of Byeok Tae-san and broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed like he couldn’t rest until the work was finished.
Byeok Tae-san then let Do-heung work hard, and he started walking again.
In addition to this, he left the black iron room. Byeok Tae-san discovered an interesting piece of information while burning Go Jun-gwang’s soul.
He was on his way to the place in the information now. That was where the guy who played Go Jun-kwang was.
