Heroine (4)

 

After Zhuge Jinhui and Hong So-il's secret dance, two more dances were held.

Finally, Mujin's long-awaited turn has arrived.

The Thief and the Swordsman, respectively, are located on the other side of the stage.

Dalian·

In terms of the odds at the top of the price, it is a battle between 100x odds and 1·07x odds. Unless a miracle happened, it seemed impossible for Dao Yue Chen to win.

Visor!!

"Winner! Nangoong Jincheon Sokyo!"

In fact, the sparring was over in just one day.

On the offstage·

The victorious Nangong Jinchen was expressionless, as if it was a matter of course, and Dao Yuechen was slightly mesmerized.

The moment when a man who had been living as a Jung Jersey faced the "wall" for the first time.

"It's just the beginning..."

And above all, it was the starting point of the novel The Apostolic Emperor.

But I wasn't just watching Bimu to feel that kind of sentiment.

Mu Jin spotted Dao Yuechen descending the rain stage after finishing the rain dance, so he followed him cautiously.

Mu Jin had made up his mind about the worries he had been thinking about since he first encountered Doyue Tian.

Therefore, Mu Jin left the place reserved for the Dragon Seal Branch and followed Dao Yuechen who was trying to escape from the outer county.

"My lord..."

And at one point, she overtook Dao Yue Chen and stood in his way.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

Mu Jin thought as he looked at the Tao Yue Chen who was asking for it with a puzzled face.

I thought, "I was still naïve at this time."

If he had suddenly stood in the way of Dowolcheon, whose family had been exterminated and had begun to walk Surado, he would have swung the sword in his way.

And his body must have been torn in two by that enormous attack.

However, seeing Doyuecheon's naïve reaction made him feel confident that he had made the right choice.

"My name is Mu Jin, the Three Great Disciples of Shaolin. Amitabha Buddha·"

"I know this from Dalian. It's called the Dowolcheon of the Thousand Islands."

A young man who suddenly blocks the way at the beginning and innocently responds to his greetings.

If he had turned a blind eye to that young man's misfortune so that he could become the future ruin, he would have regretted it greatly in the future.

The driving force behind overcoming the disadvantaged environment when he was a child. I didn't want to turn a blind eye to the misfortune that befell my idol in school.

And most of all·

"This guy will be strong even if that misfortune doesn't happen."

Mujin decided to trust his idol, Dowolcheon.

If there's just a problem...

"If you show up and tell them that your whole family is going to be exterminated sooner or later, you're going to be treated like a madman."

That's why Mujin was worried. How can you persuade Dao Yue Chen in the first place?

The conclusion Mujin came to through his deliberations was simple.

"Dowolcheon Sohyup· Are you interested in Buddhism?"

He was going to sell the medicine to the future emperor.

* * *

Of course, Dao Yue Chen looked at Mu Jin with a look on his face as if he had seen something strange.

“··· There is no meaning in Buddhism· That's it..."

And after a while· Dao Yuechen, who had managed his expression, replied bluntly and tried to pass Mu Jin.

"Amitabha Buddha· The Lord of the Tao Yue Chen may not be interested in Buddhism, but there is such a thing as destiny in the world."

Before he knew it, he had taken a step to the side and blocked the path of Dao Yue Chen again.

Unfortunately, he was defeated in one match and was on his way back to his hometown. When Wen Ding Zhong kept blocking the way, he began to get annoyed, but he also had a puzzled feeling.

"Why is the monk who defeated Huang Boo, who belongs to the Five Great Generations in one fell swoop, just like that Nangong Jinchen?"

I wondered why a monk who had reached a level so high that he couldn't even compare himself would do this.

"Thanks to my study of Buddhism, I am able to read the faint idea of fate."

But the more I listened to it, the more I was amazed.

"Is that so? I'm not interested in that, so I'm not interested in that."

He tried to ignore the madness of the crowd and pass it by, but his words caught him at his feet.

"And today· I happened to see the fate of the Lord of Dao Yue Heaven. Doesn't the Lord of Tao Yue Chen have a small scar on his left forearm? When I was a child, I secretly used the Jin sword instead of the wooden sword and cut it on my own sword."

"What can I do with that!?"

Dao Yue Chen asked in surprise.

"Of course I know because I've seen it in novels."

There is no scene in the novel where he accidentally cuts off his own arm as a child, but there is a reminiscence.

When Dowolcheon walked through Surado, his whole body was full of wounds and scars. The wound on his left arm was covered by other wounds and he reminisced about his family.

In addition, there was one more scene in the novel where Dowolcheon reminisced about the past while recalling his family.

"And don't you have a younger sister? My sister, who loves the mooncakes that the Great Lady makes more than anything else in the world."

The minions of the Black Curtain Faction who tried to kidnap a child with a peculiar constitution. That's why it happened in the middle of a conflict with the Padobang.

Mooncakes that Yang Min Anakne gave to him in return for saving his child.

Mooncakes are such an old food that there were many different types of cattle in different regions and households. However, the mooncakes that Anakne gave him tasted the same as those made by Dowolcheon's mother, so he ate them and remembered his sister and her family who had been murdered.

And the next day·

A few days after the destruction of the Heavenly Chamber in the hands of Dao Yue Tian, the Tianyu Pavilion collapsed.

'Ugh· It was huge."

It's a chilling story to think that in the process of the collapse of the Tianyu Stream, even the Golden Nachal Liu Xuehua was killed by Dao Yue Tian.

"Now that Liu Xuehua and Tianyu have changed, that won't happen...?"

Remembering the horrible image of the top of the heavenly stream collapsing at the hands of Dao Yue Tian, Mu Jin shook off his thoughts and looked at Dao Yue Chen in front of him.

"Have you really read my fate?"

When the newcomer hit one thing after another that he didn't understand, Dao Yuechen's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Mu Jin bowed his head in disbelief.

"Yes· And I'm sorry· Landlord· I know it's not right to look at someone else's fate, but it's so important that I'm telling you this."

"What's important? What do you mean by that?"

"According to the fate I have read, within a year, great misfortune may befall the Thousand Islands..."

"Bad luck befalls my family?"

Doyue Chen asks in surprise.

Normally, if a stranger suddenly told me something like this, I would have been angry.

Woe to the family... Doesn't that sound like a curse?

However, Mu Jin had already read two things about his life in quick succession, so in Dao Yuechen's eyes, Mu Jin was not an impostor, but a true prophet.

Convinced that his prophetic pretense was working, Mujin continued.

"Literally· A great wave of fate awaits in the future of the Lord of Daoyue and the Heavenly Islands. And it's a sad story, but now you don't have the strength to withstand that wave."

“··· So what should I do?"

"Amitabha Buddha..."

Gritting his teeth, Mu Jin took out a pack from his sleeve and held it out to the Tao Yue Chen who was asking.

Looking at the cape, Dao Yue Chen had a puzzled expression, and Mu Jin said with a benevolent expression.

"It's a summoning party..."

“!?”

"I personally want to stop your misfortunes, but there are other misfortunes that I have to prevent, and I can't be there easily. So build up your strength to fend off the waves of fate with this. My lord·"

With that, Mu Jin opened the box, and to his surprise, there was not one, but two altars inside.

Looking at the two summoning pods in the box, Dao Yue Chen asked in a puzzled tone.

"Why are you giving me the Shaolin Elixir when I don't even know a single face?"

"As I said, I have read the great evil of your fate."

Mu Jin's answer touched Dao Yuechen's heart.

'He looks like my age, but this monk is a big man!'

The skill he showed in the Dragon Seal Branch a while ago, and the deep sense of disobedience to the point of reading the fate of others. On top of that, there is even a distribution that gives the elixir of the recluse to those who are new to it!

Dao Yuechen said with emotion on his face, hurriedly taking the cannon.

"I will repay this favor even at the cost of my life. Mujin Monk·"

"It's just the right thing to do as a Buddhist, so don't worry about it."

Looking at Mu Jin smiling benevolently, Dao Yue Chen was thrilled again.

Mu Jin held out a summoning platform to Tao Yue Chen, who was about to shed tears from his eyes, and Tao Yue Chen took the box containing the summoning altar without knowing what to do.

Mu Jin smiled lovingly and added.

"To be honest, even if you eat two summons, it won't be easy for you to stop the bad things that are about to befall you."

"What should I do? Do we need to move the family grounds?"

Dao Yuechen, who had been completely swayed by the bribe of the summoning team and Mu Jin's words, asked urgently, and Mu Jin shook his head and replied.

"It's not a bad thing that can be avoided by moving the site. However, as is often the case with fate, there is no hardship that cannot be overcome. Suffering exists to be overcome."

"So what can be done to overcome it?"

"As I said, you must be strong enough to overcome the adversity. In order to achieve this, we need the determination of the Lord of Dowolcheon."

"Do you mean my determination?"

"Yes· I'm ready to admit the limits of my talent."

“!!!”

"And most of all, we need to be prepared to endure hellish penance in order to go beyond that limit."

Acknowledge the limits of your talents. I had already felt the wall in my sparring with Nangong Jincheon, but it wasn't pleasant to hear it in someone else's mouth. But·

"Do you just have to train hard enough to push your limits until bad luck comes?"

The danger to the family was more important than the slight insult.

"That's not enough. You have to get rid of greed. Let go of the desire to complete the recluse's martial arts. You have to grind only one herbivore to the limit. It's as if monks are benefiting from penance. The summoning altar I have given you is just a gift to shorten the duration of the penance."

“··· Does this mean that my talents would be daunting to even complete a single herb? Even if you eat this summoner?"

The monk standing in front of him gave him a strange expression at the somewhat sad question.

"That's right..."

It's as if you're looking into a distant place. Or the monk, with a look on his face as if he were drifting in a dream, added:

"But when you have completed that one herb food... Lord Dowolcheon has no limits on his own. No, you will get the way to shatter the heavens."

* * *

"Phew..."

Mu Jin sighed as he watched the back of Dao Yue Chen go away in the distance.

It looked like his smoke had been eaten.

Well, the biggest reason was that he had a personal history and was bribed by the summoning team.

"I didn't come here with the idea of Doyue Tian, but..."

In the first place, Mu Jin had secretly brought three summoning teams from the Medicine Hall on his way out of Shaolin this time.

Originally, the intended purpose was to feed the inexhaustible martial arts and martial arts.

All three of them ate one summoning step, but they still had a small amount of attack compared to the martial arts realm.

It would be eating another summon that he had already eaten, so it would be considerably less effective than the first time, but each of them would be able to gain at least a decade of extra energy.

However, two of the three summons that should have been given to them were handed over to Doyuechen. Still, Mujin wasn't particularly worried.

"It's an elixir, well, if I leave Shaolin this time, there's a way to get it..."

I don't remember all of the tricks and elixirs that appear in the first and second parts of the novel, but I still remember one or two.

I was going to take one of them on this trip and give it to the trio of unscrupulous.

If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hand over all three summons to Dao Yue Tian, but if you take the same elixir over and over again, the medicinal effect will be reduced.

Up to two, it would still be half as effective, but three wouldn't have much effect.

"The rest of the summoners should be kept as a medicine in case of internal injuries."

Gathering his thoughts, Mujin looked at the Dao Yue River in the distance.

With a mixture of anticipation and concern.

Will he be able to surpass the realm before he suffers misfortune?

Now that you've decided to help, I hope you'll join us to stop the bloodbath.

"For now, I have no choice but to believe..."

In the first place, there was nothing in Mujin's plan to help Dao Yuecheon. Originally, I was going to leave it alone.

If I had put my plans in order quickly and hadn't been in trouble by then, then I would be able to go to help.

"First of all, let's win the Dragon Seal Association..."

Mu Jin gathered his thoughts, caught a glimpse of the back of the disappearing Taoyue River in the distance, and turned around.
