'That's right. He said he almost fell into nirvana."
He was so unwell that he often forgot about it, but his grandfather was a ridiculous master.
'Wait... Then why are you still being treated by Master of the Law and Master Hyedam?'
Naturally, such a question came to mind, but Mujin decided not to ask. He thought his grandfather had a will, so he decided to move on.
Instead, Mu Jin looked at the old woman and the master of the house.
"Ho Ho Ho · Now I see that you are a very famous person."
The old woman didn't know much about martial arts, so she just looked surprised like a child and spoke to Xuanguang.
"Hehehe... It's just a little trick."
There is probably only one person in the entire continent who can perform such a petty feat.
A remnant of a natural keeper that can create brains and firearms in both hands at the same time.
As expected, it seems that he still has common sense about the Wulin people, and for the first time today, he was staring at Hyunguang with a face that failed to manage his expression.
"Hey... I don't know if it's a black curtain or not, but I can't even think of touching the Shaolin Temple."
Personally, when I saw the innocence of the old woman, I couldn't help but think of it as a black curtain, but who knows. Still, seeing the reaction of the upper lord, it was at that moment that I was sure that I would never touch the Shaolin Temple.
'Could it be that my grandfather was aiming for that and showed off his skills?'
While Mujin was thinking about it in his heart, Sangju asked Hyunkwang a question in a slightly trembling voice.
"Did you say that your Dharma name is Xuanguang a moment ago?"
"Hehehe... It was..."
“현광··· 현광····”
As if to squeeze out memories, the top lord repeated the name a few times.
He suddenly exclaimed with a look of dismay.
"Diary of the world! Shaolin Divine Monk Radiance! Are you saying that the High Priest was Him!?"
As Liu Zhiguang was forty-nine years old, he remembered hearing his name when he was a child.
It's just that the story of being abandoned by the Demon Cult was passed down more than thirty years ago, and since then, the story has not been passed down orally, so it has been forgotten.
I wonder if I read Ryujiguang's gaze like that... Hyunkwang answered the question he didn't ask with a blank expression.
"Shaolin Divine Monk... It's just a façade. Amitabha Buddha · And, as the Master of the Upper House remembers, the main monk was abandoned at that time. Hehehe..."
"If you . . . Have you finally regained your emptiness?"
Liu Zhiguang's question made Xuanguang shake his head. And he came up with a question-and-answer answer.
"I didn't get it back, I just gave up my stubbornness. Amitabha Buddha · And the body of the main monk was healed by Mu Jin here. Hehehe· Through this treatment that the two of you are doing right now..."
Hearing Xuanguang's answer, Liu Zhiguang looked at Mu Jin with a surprised face this time.
'Is this really true?'
Of course, as an elderly merchant, Liu Zhiguang didn't believe Xuanguang's words unconditionally. It could have been just a way to remind Shaolin's young comrades...
While Liu Zhiguang was lost in such thoughts, Hyun Guang spoke softly to Yan Jiahui.
"And there's one more treatment that Mu Jin told you about, so you should take it for now. Hehehe..."
"Ho Ho Ho · I didn't expect that I would come to Shaolin to bow down and then go to the Shaolin to recuperate..."
When the old woman was willing to lie down, Hyun Kwang made a heat keeper in his hand and illuminated the old woman's ankles and calves.
After a certain amount of infrared therapy, he pinched his ankles and calves with both hands and let out a faint amount of brain energy.
"If you're too sick, tell me. They say that the slight pain is the most appropriate intensity."
"Ho Ho Ho · It's very cool."
Listening to the conversation between the two old men, Mu Jin thought.
'What is it? Is it a romance in old age?'
Somehow, he felt like he had arranged a match.
Well, Hyunguang is a highly enlightened high priest, so it shouldn't happen.
* * *
Immediately after the treatment of the old woman Yan Jiahui and the treatment of the upper master Liu Jiguang were completed.
"Mujin Pupil· Can you escort me to the Chubo Hall?"
Mu Jin tilted his head at Liu Zhiguang's sudden question and replied.
"I can show you around, but may I ask you why?"
"I'll go to the Chubo Hall and tell you... Still, it's a story that needs to be accompanied by Mujin, so I'm asking you to guide me."
Mujin glanced at Hyunguang at the vague answer, and Hyunguang just smiled and shook his head.
"Well, I'm supposed to be a part of it, so you'll know when you get there."
After finishing his judgment, Mu Jin looked at Liu Zhiguang again and replied.
"Then I'll show you around."
"Thank you. Mujinja·"
Liu Zhiguang, who had lightly bowed to Mu Jin, looked at his mother, Yan Jiahui.
"Mother· I'm going to come and see what happened."
"Ho Ho Ho · I'm going to let you rest here for a while, so please take it easy. Top Stock·"
Yan Jiahui noticed that Liu Zhiguang was now acting as a top lord instead of a son, and replied.
Shortly after the mother and child finished talking· Mu Jin led Liu Zhiguang to Chubo Hall.
"This is the Three Great Disciples, Mujin· There was a visitor who came to visit the Chubo Hall, so I decided to show you around."
After briefly explaining to the two Great Disciples who were guarding the entrance of the Chubo Hall, one of the Great Disciples asked Liu Zhiguang, who was standing behind Mu Jin.
"Amitabha Buddha· I'm sorry, but can you tell me what your name is?"
"It's called Liu Zhiguang, the top of the Tianyu Stream. I have come to see you. Could you put a message inside?"
When Liu Zhiguang revealed his name, the two disciples looked surprised.
No matter how much Shaolin lived without interest in the world, he could only know about the Great Heaven and Earth. Moreover, the Chubo Hall was the place where Shaolin's money was managed, so it was even more difficult to know.
"Oh, I would be grateful if you could tell Master Chu that I want to enter with Mu Jin."
"Now, can you wait a minute? I'm going to talk to you."
One of the surprised disciples hurriedly entered the Chu Bo Hall, and after a while, the Great Emperor came out again and said:
"The head monk told me to go in."
Under the guidance of the Great Disciple, Mu Jin and Liu Zhiguang headed to the Tang Zhu Hall of the Chubo Temple.
Inside the hall of Tang Ju, where they arrived, were Chu Bo Dangju Wise Men and his immediate disciple Hye Min.
"The Three Great Disciples, Mujin· Meet the Monk Chu Bo Tang Ju · I'm looking to see you."
"Nice to meet you. It's called Liu Zhiguang, the top of the heavens."
"Amitabha Buddha· He is the head of the Chubo Party. This is none other than Hye-min, who is my disciple and the vice-regent."
"My name is Hyemin· Amitabha Buddha·"
Immediately after exchanging greetings, Ji Hye and Hye Min looked at Liu Zhiguang and Mu Jin with puzzled faces.
It's also a wonder that the top lord of the Heavenly Stream has come to visit, so why is that money-eating monster there?
Of course, thanks to the exercise equipment brought in by Mu Jin, the body of the Grand Master of the Prefecture was in remission, and the Disciples of the Disciples and the Three Great Disciples were also in full swing.
Moreover, they were confident that it was the right thing to do to punish the Secular Sect.
Speaking of Mu Jin, Shaolin's storehouse was still lacking, and Mu Jin was a money-eating monster from the Chu Bo Party's point of view.
Then· In response to Wise's question, Liu Zhiguang put his hand into his sleeve and took out a piece of paper and held it out to Wise.
"It's a hundred-piece slip with the name of our Heavenly Stream."
“!!!”
"Until our top is ruined, we will be able to use it in kind."
"Do you understand why you are suddenly giving this much money to our Shaolin?"
Hearing Wise's question, Liu Zhiguang looked at Mu Jin for some reason.
"Actually, I had just come back from receiving treatment from Mujin and Xuanguang with my mother. And this money is paid in the sense that I am asking for future treatment along with the medical expenses I received today."
It was only after listening to the explanation that Jihye and Hyemin were able to understand the situation, even if only vaguely. Mu Jin is curing the Divine Light, which is something that no one in Shaolin already knows.
He just didn't expect that Chen Liu and his mother would be with him in the treatment.
'Huh... I didn't expect that money-eating monster would bring me such a large sum of money. Amitabha Buddha·'
Wise thought as he muttered his displeasure in his heart.
A piece of gold is worth twenty pieces of silver. And a piece of silver was worth four or five bales of rice, enough to last a family of four for a month.
And Shaolin Buddhist monks and haks· There were only about seven or eight hundred of the initiate disciples who lived in Shaolin temporarily every year, and on top of that, Shaolin lived in everything from food to clothing. I used to spend money frugally on everything.
In other words, a hundred pieces of gold was equivalent to a year's worth of food in Shaolin.
Recently, Shaolin had not enough money to buy food for his disciples in the winter, and he was even debating whether or not to admit them.
Of course, you should take that money and make a living in Shaolin.
"I'm sorry. Top Stock· We Shaolin can't take that money..."
Wise said no, as if it wasn't worth thinking about.
At Wise Man's refusal, Liu Zhiguang replied in a calm tone that didn't feel the slightest bit of emotional agitation.
"Can you tell me why I cannot receive it?"
"That's not our Shaolin way. Grace is just grace. Wishing for something in return and giving favor is something that a Buddhist should not do. Perhaps the healer and Mu Jin feel the same way."
Isn't that so? Jihye looked at him with a smile on his face, and Mujin thought with a business smile.
'What the hell are you talking about?'
My grandfather and I did the treatment, so why did they show mercy to me and let me go?
Respect for the elderly can only come out if the other person is like an old man. I wonder if you don't know if it's like Hyunkwang or Yeongahee... Those who are saying, "I'm a high demander." There was no sympathy for those like the Wise Prince of the Law and the Wise Man of Chu Bo Tang.
But you can't just spit out the double desires that are about to burst out from within.
Just as Mu Jin was thinking about how to persuade the crazy Chu Bo Tang Zhu to do just that, Liu Zhiguang hit the player.
"Hmmm· Wouldn't you consider it as a tribute rather than a repayment?"
"It's not an obvious expedient ..."
"Hahaha· Then I'll just return the favor for the treatment. It is not the way of a Buddhist to give grace in the hope of reward, but isn't it also the way of a human being to think of repaying the favor when it is received?"
“····”
"Do you want to make me an unscrupulous person who can't even protect my morals as a human being? Monk Chu Bo Dang·"
Indeed, the old merchant's wordplay was not something that a half-hearted administrator who had shut himself up in the mountains and chanted was not worthy of.
"Ahem· But the amount of compensation for the treatment is too large."
Thinking that a complete refusal is difficult, Chu Bodang tried to lower the amount as much as possible.
Chu Bo didn't want to refuse the money without thinking about it.
It's just that the amount of money offered by the top stock is too large, so they chose to refuse.
Wise, who had been learning the business of the Chubo Hall since he was a disciple of Li, knew it very well. That big money comes at a price.
In particular, Liu Zhiguang is a famous colossus on the continent, so he is not a man who would give such a sum of money in the name of medical expenses without asking for anything.
However, Liu Zhiguang immediately gave an answer, as if he had already done the calculation.
"It's not a big deal at all. I have heard that Mu Jin's remedy has even cured the body of the monk who once became a dead man. Also, when I went to the treatment with my mother today, the effect was indescribable. In particular, my mother was already elderly, and she had little benefit from the acupuncture and herbal medicines of famous doctors. Don't you know how much money it costs to bring in a famous doctor for treatment?"
“····”
When Wise Man couldn't answer quickly, Liu Zhiguang struck a follow-up blow.
"I have given this slip in consideration of the amount of money commensurate with the skill of repairing the body, which even the most famous physicians have not been able to repair. In all honesty, I regret that I didn't bring a larger amount of slips today."
After being persuaded like that, Liu Zhiguang added a mysterious story.
"So I ask you to use this money to pay for my treatment and my mother's. In addition, I have something else I would like to share with you."
“··· Please feel free to talk to me."
He replied with a natural smile like a colossus.
"Let's open a clinic in Dengfeng County down there with Mu Jin's brother here..."
“!?”
“!?”
This was something that Mu Jin also didn't expect, so not only Ji Ji but also Mu Jin looked at Liu Zhiguang with a surprised face.
